Chapter 3 - To Catch a Rat
=== Grewhit Gen Profile ===

Always travels with at least two armed guards when outside of his office or residence. If you can seperate him from his guards he is unlikely to offer any resistance.

Has almost daily contact with someone at The Site while at his office. I have not been able to break the encryption of any of the intercepted transmissions.

Makes the trip into his office at the same time [0430] every morning and always takes the same route. Speeder with multiple escorts.

His arrival times to his residence are inconsistent. He residence is guarded and secure.

Has a meeting planned with a Baksed Shipburn of Falu Equipment Repair in two days time at 1145. Reason unknown.

Has a meeting with an Eedha Ormua at Falu Defense & Security in three days time at 0900. This may be trouble, as Eedha works secretly with the Rebellion.

Is hosting Imperials from The Site in three days time in the evening at 1930. Reason unknown.

His men are going to start rounding up people after the meeting with those from The Site, I don't know who the targets are as of yet, but will inform you as soon as I figure something out.

I would suggest taking today to reconnoiter the possible abduction locations and decide where to strike. You may want to stop by FD&S and see if you can talk to Eedha, he may have some information as to why he's being visited.

Remember to contact Mirach Mucecud when you have made your plans.

=== Grewhit Gen Profile ===

Also attached are routes to that Gen will most likely be taking to the meetings and his office.

Chapter 3 - To Catch a Rat
Falu Defense & Security is one of many high-tech companies located on the far west of town. Known for its technically advanced - and expensively priced - home and office security systems, the company has also been rumored to have a large research and development branch where new technologies are being used to develop a wide range of future products. It's also one of the few companies that haven't seen an increase of business since arrival of The Empire.

The building's exterior is nothing short of amazing. The completely square building is sheathed in what appears to be a high strength, black glass. There are no indications of any windows or entrance ways; save a walkway that leads up to the front of the building, where an automatic door silently slides open as you approach.

The reception area just inside is made of the same material, with the receptionist desk jutting up from the floor. There are several seats in the small room, all of which are empty. A spectacled Twi'lek standing behind the desk smiles as you enter.

"Welcome to FD and S. How may we help you?"

Tayen is still a bit nervous about her new assignment, but the Alliance prepped her with the latest pass phrases and challenges for identifying other operatives, so she know she has to step up.

Tayen smiles sheepishly at the receptionist. "I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't have an appointment. Can you just tell Eedha that we have a message from our mutual friend Honduk? Maybe if they have a minute we can deliver it quickly and then get out of their hair."

This is a coded challenge. The proper response, which Eedha should know, is "Honduk is a dirty swindler. But I am curious what he has to say."

The Twi'lek smiles politely and picks up a communicator.

"Mr. Ormua, there are some people here to see you. They say they have a message to share from someone named Honduk."

Her eyes widen at the response she receives and she puts the communicator back down.

"Doesn't appear that he's a fan of this Honduk person!" she says with a slight chuckle as she gets up from behind the desk.

"Please, follow me."

The sharply dressed receptionist leads you through the completely unmarked building. There are no office numbers, name plates, or even clues as to where doors exist within the walls - she simply walks up to the what appears to be a random place along a hallway and a door opens. You do see what appear to be other employees walking about, but none of them make eye contact or offer any type of greeting.

Coming to the end of a large hallway another door opens, behind which is a technical lab of some sort. The receptionist motions you all to enter before she takes her leave.

"Have a nice day!"

At the far end of the lab stands a very nervous looking Rodian. His hand is within quick reach of a blaster pistol that is holstered to his side. He takes a step forward and says.

"Honduk is a dirty swindler. But I am curious what he has to say."

"First I've heard of it." Eedha says quietly, shaking his head. "But it doesn't surprise me."

The Rodian walks over to one of the many lab tables and flicks the switch on an odd looking communications device of some sort. Several of the lights on the front panel come to life and over a speaker you can hear static mixed with an intermittent warbling at different frequencies.

"Encrypted Imperial Comm traffic from that site outside of town. Shouldn't even be able to detect it, but I've been able to get around their TRANSEC protocols, but still haven't broken their COMSEC. Gen knows I've been developing such a thing, damned ImpSymp knows just about everything that goes on here."

He shrugs his shoulders in defeat.

"If he's coming here for me, it's not just to say hello. When is Gen and his cronies supposed to show?"

Having gotten the team in to meet with Eedha, Tayen is now at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed next. She listens quietly to the exchange between her team and the rodian. "So," she says after Eedha comments on the difficulty of moving the device. "If this is such a secure building, how likey is Gen to try to pull something here? Do you feel safe meeting with him and seeing what he says - and just hiding this device if necessary?"

The Rodian is clearly shocked at the suggestion.

"Kidnapping!? Isn't that a bit drastic?"

He leans back onto one of the lab tables and starts to slowly shake his head.

"Although..." he quietly responds, having a conversation with him self.

"It would remove one of the biggest threats to Falu's freedom and if I'm taken at the same time perhaps it would keep the Imps from really knowing the whole reason behind it. Of course I couldn't be taken from inside the building, too secure, but if I were out in front of the building, perhaps it could be pulled off."

Eedha lets out a long sigh and steps away from the table.

"I'm in! I can take the time before his visit to try and finish my work. Maybe even figure out a way to get it out of here and too the Rebellion."

"An excuse for meeting him outside won't be needed." Eedha replies, a smile starting to form at the end of his snout.

"Gen is unaware that I know that he's due to pay me a visit. I can conveniently be on my way out of the building as he's arriving. It has the advantages of catching him off-guard, keeps you from having to deal the security measures inside the building, and will allow me to act as an innocent bystander."

For example, if Gurag wanted to scout the area, he could make a Knowledge (warfare) check. Someone could make a Piloting (planetary) check for escape routes - whatever you come up with.

Oo. 2 advantages and a triumph. I propose the following:

The 2 advantages are that while examining the routes in and out, I noticed a few important things about the area around the building. This provides 2 boost dice to the "scout the area" roll.

The triumph is that while looking for good spots in the nearby area to pause and swap vehicles, I happen to stumble across someone looking to sell a junker speeder truck for quick cash. Will be cheap. This only makes sense however if we, as a group, have enough resources to buy even a cheap speeder. If not, I can do something else with this triumph.

I like the idea of the advantages being used as boosts for the "scout the area" roll. So, whoever does a scout/recon type roll can add two boosts to their roll.

The Triumph idea is good as well, let’s roll with that and we’ll bank the two successes as Boosts to use during your operation.

We're moving the device out in pieces before The Day, right? After that, I think it's just getting set up on the day itself. We'll station the second speeder (which I assume is "our speeder") at the swap location we picked out. I'll sit it the newly-procured getaway speeder in the parking lot somewhere with a good view of the kidnap spot. Will those of us making the attack be hiding elsewhere near the spot, or will we all drive up in the speeder and have people jump out?

Eedha is planning to be walking outside of the building when Gen arrives.

Your speeder will be at the swap point and the newly acquired speeder is ready to be used (both speeders are unarmed).

I'll assume you've told Kyle of the plan and he would have responded that you are to contact him as soon as you have Gen and he will send you coordinates at that time.

Just before nine in the morning the sounds of speeders can be heard coming up the narrow street towards the Falu Defense & Security buidling. Grewhit Gen a tall, rotund man dressed in fine business attire, leads the way on a custom built speeder that has been painted with Imperial markings. On either side, about a speeder's length behind, rides a heavily armed Mirialan male, one of which is instantly recognizable as Kuvo.

The three come to a stop in the street in front of the building, dismount, and walk towards the entrance. While the two Mirialans are obviously being cautious and looking for anything suspicious, Gen doesn't appear to have a care in the world, strutting up the walkway with confidence.

Like clockwork the front door opens and Eedha hurries out, his eyes focused on the ground as walks toward the trio.
OOC:
I'll give everyone a chance to state their positions and to take any actions if the want. Eedha is a Short distance for the trio and no words have been spoken between them at this point.

I was assuming Tayen would stay in our speeder and keep it running. Probably easiest to just have us all in the speeder, roll up, our combat guys jump out, toss grenade, then try to dispatch the muscle and pull Gen (and Eedha) into the speeder. Then we zoom off. Running into one of the bodyguards as we pull up doesn't sound like a terrible idea.

I'll do a standard difficulty pilot check. GM can add more negative dice as they see fit. I will add in one boost die from the operations pool, bringing the pool down to 5.
Tayen can hear her heart pounding as the team waits in the speeder for the moment to come. They watch Gen and the goons get off their speeders. Tayen starts moving the speeder slowly into position, waiting for the right moment. Then she sees it - she hopes. "Hold tight, everyone. It's showtime." Then she guns the engine, steering the speeder towards the group.

Already on the lookout for any threats the two Mirialans see Tayen drive up towards them and have just enough time to fire off a couple of quick shots from their blasters, striking both Tayen and Kip in the process. Undeterred the pilot keeps on course and while there isn't enough room between the guards and Gen to get the speeder between them she does the next best them and runs them through, tossing them each a couple of meters forward where they land sprawled out on the freshly manicured lawn.

Gen screams and stumbles forward towards Eedha who draws a pistol and rushes forward, placing himself between the speeder and the obviously scared Imperial Sympathizer.

"Get behind me, Mr. Gen!!" Eedha yells out, firing two quick stuns bolts, both of which fly safely over your heads.

At the last moment, Tayen realizes the speeder can't fit in between Gen and his goons. As she processes this, a blaster shot strikes her chest, throwing her back into her seat. Pain shoots through her body. Gripping the controls tightly, she jerks the speeder towards the goons and plows into them. They go flying, giving her a brief moment to try to regain her wits. She fumbles for the decelerator while also trying to find her blaster. She knows she can't take another blast like that.

Shielding themselves the best they can from the expected detonation of Guy's grenade, the two downed Mirialans watch as the weapon appears to have missed its mark. Their relief is only temporary, however, as they're still caught in the blast, causing both to involuntarily twitch about on the ground for several seconds.

The smaller of the two thugs seems to recover quickly and manages to grab his blaster pistol while righting himself to a seated position. He takes aim at the grenade tosser and jerks the trigger, sending a blaster bolt high and wide.

Able to clear his head just a bit, Gen strikes out at his attacker, punching the large Weequay in the stomach with all of his might. Gurag's lack of reaction to the attack sends a shiver down Gen's spine as he starts to shake his hand in pain.

Eedha, clearly uncomfortable with all of the fighting going on around him, still does his best to make it look like he's an innocent in all of this. He throws down his weapon and screams a high pitched battle cry, charging at Kip and taking a wild haymaker that is obviously more for show than anything else before stumbling forward and landing on the ground.

Chapter 3 - To Catch a Rat
Tayen pushes through the pain of her injury and pulls her blaster. She struggles to maintain focus as she levels the weapon at Kuvo and pulls the trigger, sending out the circular blue flash of a stun blast.
OOC:
It turns out I forgot that Tayen has padded armor on when I calculated the soak for her last hit. She should have taken 4 wounds instead of 6. This round, she is going to take 2 strain to make an extra maneuver: 1 maneuver to draw the pistol and 1 to Aim. 1 Purple difficulty for short range, but I believe also 1 setback for the target being prone.

That all puts Tayen herself at 8 Wounds remaining and 11 Strain.

Nice roll! So that's 12 Strain damage. I'll use those 2 advantages to give 2 boosts to the next PC. Perhaps the clearly solid shot gives the next ally a boost of confidence, or maybe causes their target to become momentarily shaken and easier to attack.

Eedha does his best to play the part of a struggling soon-to-be captive, rolling on the ground and putting up a fuss. His extensive use of rarely heard expletives is actually quite impressive. But when he feels the binders pressing against his wrists he relaxes just a bit to allow Kip to secure him.

"Rebel Scum!"
Kuvo shakes his head as he attempts to sit up only to be hit with Tayen's stun blast. The Mirialan thug lets out a screech before sprawling out, back down, on the grass.

Of course that's what I should do. Why didn't I think of that? I can't find anything in the rules about using a vehicle *as* a weapon, so I'm just gonna throw a standard difficulty pilot check out there, and @savagebob can add any other dice after the fact. Note that Tayen has 1 level in "Skilled Jockey."

I'll be using the "Punch It" maneuver to get the speeder to max speed, and use my action to try to run into the last goon on our way out.
As soon as everyone's on board, Tayen shouts "Hold on!" and then slams the throttle as far as it will go. The engine wines as the speeder lurches forward. Seeing the one remaining goon, Tayen swerve the vehicle in his direction, hoping to knock him to the ground again before he can take another shot.

Traffic is fairly light as most of the early morning rush is over, and you have little trouble driving to the northernmost part of the city. Here the narrow streets and crowded architecture open up, revealing the open and rolling grasslands that surround all of Falu.

The well loaded speeder starts to struggle just a bit as it climbs the small incline of the hill. Just as you reach the top, out of the trees strolls a smiling Kyle, hands in his pockets without a care in the world. He's dressed in what is clearly a Rebel uniform.

"Well done! Hibl's security officer has been waiting for a chance to interrogate these scum." He throws a quick wink to Eedha as he stresses the last word of the sentence.

He raises his balled first into the air and out from the trees emerge ten heavily armed Rebel fighters.

"Take the honorable Mr Gen to Utes. She's been looking forward to discussing some things with him. And leave the Rodian with me!"

Two men come forward and roughly remove Grewhit Gen from the speeder. They then half lead, half drag the Imperial Sympathizer into the trees.

Kyle, clearly enjoying the spectacle, waits until he's sure that he's free to talk without being overheard.

Chapter 3 - To Catch a Rat
"Excellent!" Kyle blurts out excitedly.

"Please, follow me."

Kyle leads you about six or seven meters into the small copse of trees on top of the hill where he motions to an open hatch on the ground.

"Home, sweet home."

A quick climb down and you find yourselves in a roughly cut, dimly lit, octagonally shaped room. There are several control panels against four of the walls, each with two operators seated in front. In each of the four other walls are tunnels which lead further into the hill side, which Kyle points to in turn.

"Armory down there. Small by most standards, but we're just starting here."
"Bunks for those of us who are stationed here for any amount of time."
"Storage. Water and what passes for food for the most part. Some medical supplies as well."

As he starts to point to the fourth hallway, a small male Sullustan in an officer's uniform, followed closely by a muscularly build female Twi'lek exit the hallway and enter the room.

"And of course, HQ."

Kyle throws both a lazy salute before introducing them.

"Captain Nibev Hibl, Lieutenant Utes Arc, may I present the Falu Four!"

The Sullustan nods and greets Tayen in her native language before getting down to business.

"The reason for the Imperial presence on this planet is still a mystery to us, one I hope that our newly captured friend can help unravel. In your pursuits against their influence on your city have you come across any information that may explain their presence here?"

Guy scoffs at the question "They are here to do what they always do, take anything of value, and put their heel down on the throat of anyone that opposes them. More specifically? Not really all we know is that is has something to do with 'the site'. Baksed may know more, but he won't turn on his newest and best source of income. " After giving his answer Guy looks around at the equipment, looking for possible upgrade opportunities to sell them later.

Tayen gives a more formal salute to the apparent officers than Kyle does.

I'm assuming Hibl is the Sullustan.
She return's the captain's greeting politely. In answer to the question, she says, "I'm afraid I'm new to this team, so I don't have much information to offer."

Obviously disappointed that you can't offer any more leads as to why the Imperials have taken in interest in Bolygo, his face does light up at the sight of Eedha being led into the room by one of the heavily armed rebels.

"At least we can finally put this man's hard work to use." Hibl declares, welcoming the Rodian with hearty slap to the should.

"You have brought it with you, have you not?"

Eedha readily agrees with handing over the device to Utes. Once in her hands, the Twi'lek takes it back down the hallway from which she and Hibl entered moments before.

"It is our hope that the device, along with our interrogation of the prisoner, will in fact help reveal the Empire's plan here on Bolygo." Hibl responds.

"Even once we find out why they're here, we'll have to figure out a way to stop them, and build up enough of a presence here to do so. Any interest in joining up with the Alliance... full time?"

"No thank you."

At his core, Kip simply was a mechanic who had enough of his shop being searched by yet another stormtrooper. If the Imperial presence in Falu left, then Kip would be happy to return to living an honest life, unhindered by any sort of overbearing authority. Just like the good ol' days. Even the mention of the Alliance planning to build its presence in Falu made Kip unhappy. If he could take his freedom with his own hands, he would.

Tayen wants to jump at the offer to join the alliance, but holds herself back to see what her companions say. Seems like a mix of feelings, so she decides there's no sense hiding her desires.

"If the Alliance will have me, I'm in."

"It's disappointing that you won't join us at this time." Hibl responds, clearly taken a bit aback by the team's unwillingness to join.

"Let us finish with our interrogation of the man you brought in and see what he knows. It won't be long before his disappearance starts to draw the attention of The Empire, so it's probably best to keep a bit of a low profile for the next few days."

The captain pauses for a moment.

"Any witnesses friendly to the Imps that might be able to identify you as the abductors?"

Seeing an opportunity to press his case Hibl quickly responds.

"Our mission here is two-fold. Determine why The Empire has such a sudden interest in a planet that offers no obvious strategic advantage and then to remove them! I'm sure our goals intersect. With training and resources provided by the Alliance we can help each other meet our goals; but you would have to join, at least until the threat to Bolygo has been removed."

Fearing he may be pushing a little too hard he backtracks a bit.

"We will still provide what support we can if you choose to act independently. I just ask that you let us know if you're planning something so that we don't step on each others toes."

Tayen listens to the conversation, somewhat disappointed that not everyone is as motivated to be part of the Alliance as she is. After Hibi presses harder, she pipes up. "It can't hurt to join up for this operation, can it? Otherwise we might end up getting in each other's way."

"The Alliance has no interest in Bolygo or Falu other than determining why the Empire is here and then removing them. This star system is of no strategic value to either side in this war."

Hibl states in a serious tone.

"Again, all we ask is that if you choose to strike out on your own, without word from Kyle, that you let us know."

Remember, it is Kyle who has been secretly feeding you information that has allowed the Four to ambush Resource Teams coming into Falu.

Kip personally thought that the Alliance's lack of interest in holding Bolygo would probably change once they figured out what was at the Site. After all, the Empire sure seemed interested in a planet that was supposedly of no strategic value. Still, he couldn't deny that it would be better not to antagonize the Alliance more than necessary.

"Alright, if it concerns you, we'll let you know."

Kyle simply shrugs.

"Was worth a try. The Alliance is spread thin in this sector and command is trying recruit where possible."

He motions for you to follow him and leads you back out into the woods on top of the hill.

"Might want to lay low for a couple of days. I'll contact with some more information when we get something you might want to act on."
