I thought that was a pirate base with slack security but I was wrong - they are privateers!” She explains what she believes to be a vital difference “State sponsored pirates - kept covertly so they are deniable. Their security is lax because they believe that the entire Ruian army will protect them!” Then, deftly unloading rifle magazines as her mind weighs military risk and reward, she goes quiet for a while.

She breaks her silence with a predatory smile and adds “At this point in the mission, as professional mercenaries, we ensure our contract includes retaining the rights to those prize vessels. Let’s get back to the ship”.
You re-enter the game preserve and fly back to the Ranger Station. You are given a cursory inspection and then wave on through. The flight back to the Star Port is uneventful and you have to suffer another cursory inspection on the way back in. The guards aren't really looking for anything that isn't obvious...none of the inspections was more than cursory on you all day.

Back aboard the ship you find that the rest of the party is still out in town somewhere. Lady Jane is still "indisposed and can't be disturbed.

Eris wrote:The librarian leans in and says quietly, "The Luzon were terrorists before the recent war. They still are, but during the war the government, most of the governments on Ruie, pardoned any of them that pledged to support the war effort. They all did and several of their more acceptable leaders actually got into political positions. Now that the war is over they are back to their old ways in some areas and subverting governments in others...like here, say some people."

He adds grimly, "It wouldn't do for a employee of the government to say the government has been suborned, and so I'm *not* going to say that. All I'll say is don't expect any help from the police or the army if you tangle with Luzon. In fact, I'd go so far as to say, Imperials probably need to stay away from Ruie entirely until we sort all of our local problems out."
Zaki smiles. "The Imperium is Ruie writ large, in many ways. Our nations are spread across worlds, subsectors, and even sectors, but we still have the same problems. In that light, I'm none too sure that we would be able to offer much of use in that regard." She shrugs. "We will be careful about our own dealings here, though. Can you point me to more information in these periodicals about the terrorists; what has been reported?"

In transit back to the starport Sigrun advises the friendly Customs men that she and John Lee will be back through soon, possibly with more personnel, to prepare a base camp for further hunting expeditions.

Once back on board Sigrun leaves a comm message with the other team to let them know she and John Lee have returned with news. She also checks for any messages left by the PIs that the team hired in Tabor City.

Then, in light of the day's experiences, she preps her gauss rifle, combat armour and assault gear for stowage within the recesses of the G carrier advised and assisted by John Lee and works on finding further covert stowage for additional team weapons and gear.

With her work detail complete and having got herself a meal, a beer and a shower she later sits in the bar with John Lee committing their observations and recorded data from the recon mission into the form of a military briefing. With this task complete she gets a glass of mead and discusses plans for a military option for the Luzon base attempting to plan for the reduction of what she estimates should be an assault by an infantry platoon into one conducted by a single grav mounted infantry fire team. It seems that every "post extraction option" Sigrun favours involves stealing one or both of the Luzon ships.

Sigrun sends back to Carlos “Saw the site. What a party we had - pics too hot to send on a public line! What I have might get you lynched. May have run into that man we had all planned to meet. He was with others with whom we could do business re: acquisitions. It seems the rumours of a third party hostile take over here are old news. That is already a done deal. See you back here for a meeting soonest. Watch out for local traffic”.

Sigrun assumes that the Intel she has is so incendiary (on so many levels!) that public possession of it would simply endanger the bearer and doubly so for an Imperial citizen!

Back aboard Sigrun greets the team then, looking Carlos straight in the eye, states “Carlos, I did not send you the images as you requested. I am used to an environment where a higher tech opponent makes anything but laser comms insecure”. She pauses and smiles “Old habits” she continues with what seems to be a Sword World apology “When you see the content: POWs, an Auxiliary Raiding Squadron base and Ruiean Government troops escorting their supplies … Well, it all seemed more likely to cause you trouble than generate new Intel”.

She then raises her voice to address the company “I asked them to put food in the bar - I’ll brief you while you eat”.

When all are ready Sigrun candidly relates all the findings of the recon mission and invites John Lee to give his views on the the casual nature of the customs/ranger checks. She shows various still images of the POWs and a shaky video segment of the supply convoy and has annotated maps showing the tactical approach and layout of the base. She has clearly done this before.

In closing she states “In brief. The Luzon believe themselves secure and we have insufficient fighting strength to capture and hold the base”.

She pauses and, as a predatory smile spreads across her features, adds “My recommendation? We have a viable raiding option. While the POWs are servicing the ships everything we want is in a very small area – so we take it! Mr Pattermore can put us there and we then have options to liberate the POWs and secure one or both of the Luzon ships. We rely on Chandra to prep the ships for flight. Exfiltration is via orbit”.

She hands Chandra blown up images of the two starships "Imperial standard, I believe - can you do it?"

She then adds confidently “It’s aggressive and needs more prep - but it will work!”

She reaches for the beer that remained untouched during her briefing and raises it to her comrades in what appears to be a traditional toast “Everyone goes home!”

She sits down and puts her feet up on the table. Then she looks up with a grin, her Sword Word accent thick “Traditionally we now shout and argue, come up with a better plan and then we vote!”

Gun not jumped! :)

I think a good discussion of who, what, why, where, and when is in order. Once you get plans made and are ready to try something I'll probably start another thread for the execution of the plan.

Zaki sits possession-range close to Carlos, and calmly regards Sigrun over her beer stein. "You said what I think are two contradictory things. First, we do not have the combat power to take and hold the base, and, second, we do have enough combat power to take the ships and rescue the POWs." The diminutive Vilani shrugs lightly. "I am your medic, so I'm not a primary combatant. As such, I don't have formal training in combat operations. If you decide," she touches Carlos' arm, denoting which 'you' she's mostly thinking of, "to go into a fight, I will go with you."

And somebody to keep the cholos off you while you work. That'd be me." He sits back and pats Zaki's hand gently. "Obviously, we could use a couple more hired guns. I'd love to have a full regimental drop brigade, but no way to magick one up on this short notice. Where's Charlie at? We need him here and sober to ID our guy. Maybe a run down Startown to see what we can shake loose on gunmen..."

I know we lost Joe Whistler's player, but he's still here and I'll NPC him...

"A fire fight is what I'm trained for."the quiet young man says from the end of the table, "From the photos you got it doesn't look like there are more than a handful of hostiles at that base and most of them aren't military by their look."

"This backward burg has very little in the way of air craft. I was checking their military while you were wasting time in a library."
he adds looking at Carlos and Zaki, "We have two craft, probably the most advanced on this planet. This ship and that g-carrier. Drop both on top of them at once and it'll just be a mop up operation."

"Excuse me, Sir." says the steward Doug McDonald who has been serving your food."I feel sure that Captain Smith and Miss Jones can get Lady Jane and The Old Dream back to Regina if you are acquiring other transportation for yourselves and Lord William."

"I know Lady Jane is indisposed, which is perhaps a good thing otherwise she would be leading the assault."
McDonald says dryly, "But, it might be wise to include Captain Smith in your planning, especially if you think you can use this ship in your rescue operation."

"I will fetch Charlie from his closet, um cabin, and ask Captain Smith to join you,
if you don't mind?"
McDonald says awaiting your permission before leaving the dining room.

Not saying they might not wanna look us up here next planetfall, but less chance of restarting that war we missed, la?" He looks at Tiglath. "Any photos of the ships they're working on?"

Zaki decides to let the comment about her wasting time pass; there were more important subjects to consider. "Considering that the Imperium is no longer at war with these people, they have no right to hold our POWs. Their continued good health isn't much of a concern for me." She glances at Carlos as she puts forth her question to the group. "What would be better, a fast assault with the grav vehicle, or sneak up on them and hit them with sniper fire and a close assault?"

Sigrun adds "Zaki has the right idea regarding the Luzon and using Tranq rounds won't buy us any mercy from pirates whose secret base we have compromised and whose possession of Imperial POWs we have exposed. One jump away at Regina is a huge Imperial Naval Base - the Ruians are playing a very dangerous game and can not afford for their secret to get out. If we do this there can be no half measures".

She nods at Whistler "Using the yacht as a distraction while we assault the ships using the G carrier from the landward side would work. If the Luzon ships are not flight capable this also leaves us a way out and a method to get the Jarl offworld. So we do need to speak to Captain Smith".

Sigrun replies to Carlos "Ja - I gave them to Chandra so he could identify the ship types and work out which power plants he'll be dealing with". She continues with rising passion evident in her voice "The grievances of the Outworld Coalition were not addressed by the Fourth Frontier War. There will be another war irrespective of our actions on Ruie". She stops herself takes a swig of her beer, lets out a breath and finds a smile "And don't worry about ever coming back to Ruie - it's one of those places that once they've been folk don't come back to!"

One jump away at Regina is a huge Imperial Naval Base - the Ruians are playing a very dangerous game and can not afford for their secret to get out. If we do this there can be no half measures".

She nods at Whistler "Using the yacht as a distraction while we assault the ships using the G carrier from the landward side would work. If the Luzon ships are not flight capable this also leaves us a way out and a method to get the Jarl offworld. So we do need to speak to Captain Smith".
Carlos sighs. "Tiglath, the locals do NOT like Imperials around here and the Luzons ARE CONNECTED. The governments let them do what they want though some of the locals don't like Luzon either. We'd do well to not maxx off the locals. They'll understand us getting ours back. But they won't look the other way if we coff the bad guys. We might skate if we just knock them out and take back our own. Remember, we might be coming back here someday, and I really don't want warrants hanging over me if we do." He looks her directly in the eye. "And we get every POW out. Nobody left behind."

Zaki nods. "I'm with the 'run in and stomp on them' camp, but I see the wisdom in your approach."
