Open Terrain

*The familiar N1 returned and landed in the academy's hanger. He stepped out and walked with Jek to the front lobby where he met up with Hollace and Kora.*

Herder: Hollace, I got some new for you.

Hollace: What is..

*He was cut off as Herder grabbed the mic for the PA system in the academy.*

:: Attention all students, instructors and other MESF personnel, this is Al'verde Herder. The MESF academy and base of operations will be moved to Concord Dawn effective immediately. That is all. ::

*He gave the mic back to Hollace, who had a shocked look on his face.*

Herder: I'm sure you'll be able to handle everything here?

Hollace: Of course sir.

*Herder then turned and walked over to Kora.*

Herder: Hey rookie, I want you to take your squad to the Fett Homestead on Dawn and let him know we will be coming soon with our supplies and equipment.

*He then made his way back to his quarters with Jek before turning back and yelling to Hollace once more.*

Herder: And will you take a break for once!

*With that he shut his door and him and his Nexu both fell asleep.*

*He nodded and saluted his Al'verde after his orders were given. He quickly got his team ready and made their way to the hanger and a waiting MESF LAAT. The squad climbed aboard and they took off.*

William had put down his Jacket and his Backpack, when he had entered the room next to the Machine. As it instructed, he held onto the Bars and held them in placed. It started to push against him, and it got stronger and stronger. As he got over 50 lbs. of pressure he started struggling. He continued and held on. It continued pushing with more power of pressure where it got over 100 lbs. His veins started popping out and he started to sweat. He got tired as it reached 190 lbs of pressure and gave up. Damn my back hurts... I was so close. he cursed. The mic came on after he was done, and it was Herder saying that the Base would be moved.
I just got moved from Concord Dawn too. How convient is that? he asked himself. He got a small towel and started wiping the sweat off him.

William came out of the room with his Backpack on and his Jacket around his shoulder. He looked at his watch then into the Hallway.

*as William came out of the sim and looked down the hall an enlist approached with a data pad and handed it to the man without a word. There was a single message there....*

=Message=
Nice job kid. Not bad at all. Most people dont get past stage two. Get your shebs back to Concord Dawn soon. I have a job for an Auretti. You have six hours

-Bas'ur

William put away the Datapad and walked to the Hanger. He entered the shuttle he came in and went in the atmosphere.

*Finally completely loaded with MESF equipment, Colonel Hollace climbed into the pilots seat of the CR-90 corvette. The ship hummed t life and took off from the hanger. In the meantime Herder awoke and began packing the things in his personal quarters. He filled up his N-1 enough where he couldn't even bring Jek along this time. As the nexu watched from the side of the hanger as men continued to bring supplies out, he climbed in his cockpit and took off with a pair of MESF LAAT's, also filled with supplies.*

Rex landed Duke's ship for him as he slept, the droid was always a better pilot than him. The designated clearing was far from any building of civilisation of any kind, just how he liked it. He liked to train in private but today would be an exception, he had someone coming to meet him. Even so he made sure there was no-one else around, instructing Rex to conduct a sensor sweep before they landed. He was awoken by the sound of landing and the shaking of the room.

He quickly jumped out of bed and threw on a plain, dark green shirt and a pair of khaki trousers that were on the floor. Not bothering with any of his weapons yet, he walked to the cockpit where Rex greeted him with the usual beeps and whistles. Duke grunted in reply and the sensor data appeared for the region they were landing in. It was just as he suspected and he smiled as he walked back through the ship to the boarding ramp. The ship had hardly landed yet but he still dropped the ramp and began walking down it. The ship had just touched down as he got to the end and he walked off and a few paces away from the ship. He glanced around the clearing and stood with his arms folded, waiting for his "trainee".

* kat would come off the ships ramp wearing a pair of black skinny jeans fitting to her very closely and a rainbow slattered t shirt. all she had gotten from her previous instructer was that she was meeting a man she hadnt gotten any details but was very excited. she stepped off and over to all the people that were waiting for family and such. she thought to her self i dont really have anyone but my training and frowned. then wiped that memory from her mind and looked around for her meterious new instructer*

Duke spotted Kortney quite easily stepping off what he presumed was her ship. He looked her up and down but made no assumptions at the moment. She may appear to be small and weak but looks can be deceptive. He began to walk towards her as he spoke. His voice was firm and low, it almost seemed to rumble like the distant sound of tracked vehicles.

You Kortney? If you are then I'm Duke and I'm here to help train you, if not then never mind!

It was a rare use of humour in an opening meeting, Duke usually reserved the jokes for those he'd known longer. However there were very few of those left, in his line of work people had a very short life expectancy.

*shed stare at him up and down as well looking at him with such confusion. he was taller then her and much more musculer his eyes sorta stood out to her.*

yes im kortney

*shed hold out her hand and and smile showing her vampireis canine teeth*

Duke, ever the gentleman, took Kortney's hand and lifted it towards his head. He bowed his head slightly and kissed the back of her hand before gently releasing it.

Well then, lets not waste time, you've come to me for training so is there anything you want to start with or can I run you through the basics first?

Running through the basics would probably do Duke some good himself but he could find it boring some times. He glanced over his shoulder to his ship before looking back at Kortney, his mind on the weapons on his ship.

*kat would smile and blush as he kissed her hand.*

lets run through basics first then u can teach me whatever you like

The basics indeed, he could do that. Of course he hadn't run through the basics himself in a little while but he remembered them from basic training. He turned back towards his ship and walked a few paces away towards it. Once he was a few feet from Kat he suddenly spun back around to face her. His feet were further than shoulder width apart and his arms were out to his sides, elbows bent and hands clenched into fists. He looked like he was ready for a fight and he slightly bent his knees as he spoke.

This is about as basic as it gets, show me what you got!

*kat would smile as she did a back stance as in tae kwon do her hands ready and out as she ran towards him pulling her daggers from her sides*

*Mining continues as planned and on time. The mine is inspected and a crew is set to making the necessary repairs. Workers occasionally leave the mine to mingle with the locals, while on break. The workers are given a four day weekend in honor of the late Lord Cygnus.*

==MMine MMP==
*for the lucky few to work on this outpost, they where never far from other mandos. so it was often easy to blow a bit of steam by visiting the local canteena or other place. back at the mine, some of the local wildlife had managed to get itself sucked up in the engine of a lifting cargo hauler, and the landing pad had to be shut down for a while as both the shuttle and the pad where repaired.*

*Jaccien felt himself awake, but for some reason everything was dark. Soon he found that he was laying face down in what appeared to be sand, after making this realization he slowly rolled over and set up looking at his surroundings. There was a scent in the air of burning fuel and melted metal, and then he saw it, all around him there were flames and burnt metal all around the scorched earth was pretty hard to miss as well. "What had happened?" He thought to himself, and then it hit him.... He had to initiate a crash landing after his little incident on Kashyyyk, those damn Sith affiliated carpets tried to take him down, but his training and bloodline let him prevail.

After figuring out what had happened Jaccien picked himself up, trying to asses the damage that had been done to his armor and body, and it was not pretty. Sharp pains struck through his body, and his armor was damaged so bad he did not know whether or not he would be able to repair it, but that was another matter, for now he would have to collect some supplies and head to anything that resembled civilization, and judging from thing terrain he was on none other than his home planet Ordo.... This he could work with.

Limping around the wreckage he kicked around some metal pieces looking for his weapons and supplies, and the only thing he could find was his rifle and some ammunition for it. Seeing that that was all he could find he started his journey to the Citadel, it was going to be a long hard journey, especially with no supplies and in this much pain, but none the less he started out walking due west.*

==MMine MMP==
*A nasty sand storm delays the shipment of processed ore, and causes the foreman to shut down the mine for a time, as he ran out of storage room in the MMP. After the storm passed mining resumed normally, and, after teh landing pad was cleared of sand, several shuttles came to pick up the over stocked ore, and replenish the store of perishables. The mando'ade staff continue to visit nearby locals for entertainment and to blow steam through out the year.*

<:MMine MMP:>
*The staff continue to monitor progress of the drones as time goes on. It would have been a dull year, except for all the time spent with the vod on Ordo. The Mando'ade staff new they were lucky to work here amongst vod instead of off on some alien world where the vod are left to themselves, or asked to keep to themselves.*
