[tr`Idran's homeplanet]
After a long silence, they make their final approach on Tr`Idran`s
home planet. The cloaked vessel finds no difficulty slipping past their
nominal defenses and he makes a clipped quick landing, a half mile from the target`s home. Kuro quickly gears up and hops out of the bomber silently as Ghire looks over the map, then slips out of the craft.
Tr`Ghire>::quietly:: we`re a half mile off target!
Tr`Kuro>::whispers:: I know that, we`re landing a shuttle doing a silent op. We hike from here.
Tr`Ghire>we have a cloaked vessel!
Tr`Kuro>::whispers sharply:: First off if you shout again I`ll record
you as a casualty. Second, bombers are heavy they leave tracks for the local authorities, best to keep them far off target
tr`Ghire>::grumbles and begins to hike behind Kuro::
Kuro intentionally picks the most rugged trail he can find to put to
test the officer`s ability as a grunt. Ghire scarcely keeps up and would like to have checked the map had he not feared losing sight of Kuro. Finally, they close on the compound house. Descending from the lush hills, Kuro motions Ghire to stay low and move quick. They reach the rear wall of the house.
Tr`Kuro>::peers over the window sill, seeing the empty room, he goes to
forcefully open the window, though it slides freely::
tr`Ghire>::climbs the sill, moving tactfully to peep into the next few
rooms::
tr`Kuro> ::follows him in, moving to the staircase after Ghire gives the all clear sign::
tr`Ghire>::readies his disrupter::
tr`Kuro>::draws his kaleh, creeping silently to the top of the
staircase::
tr`Idran> ::having impeccable timing, he opens his door to use the
facilities::
tr`Kuro>::crouches low behind the railing, waiting for him to pass by::
tr`Idran>::has a slightly unsettling feeling, he looks down the hall
then around before walking toward the bathroom::
tr`Kuro>::waits silently, kaleh in hand::
tr`Ghire>::stands at the rear, watching down the staircase and providing cover for Kuro::
tr`Idran>::briefly looks over the railing his final test to settle his
nerves::
tr`Kuro>::lunges vertically, planting a firm blow to Idran`s head::
tr`Idran>::arcs back from the force of the impact, falling onto the
floor with a thud and a slight grunt::
ACTION> an older woman looks alarmed as she nears the bottom of the
staircase, having heard the rustling
tr`Ghire>::slightly surprised by the woman he jerks back the trigger,
unleashing a short pulse::
tr`Kuro>::leaps over the railing, landing directly over Tasrek, pinning
him to the floor::
tr`Idran>::winces beneath Kuro`s weight, attempting to apply a Vulcan
grip::
tr`Kuro>::notes the flash over the railing before applying thorough
pressure to Tasrek`s skull to render him unconscious::
ACTION> the old woman is thrown back by the blast, and lays stunned on
the floor
Kuro hefts Tasrek over his shoulder, giving Ghire a disapproving glare for having shot the old lady. They slip into Tasrek`s room and gather his belongings. After a moment, they are gone, Ghire having assured that the lady would live. This time they took the direct route to the ship.
Climbing into the craft, Kuro is comforted by the fact that it went no worse. He lay Tasrek on the floor in a decent position and carefully lifts the craft from the surface. The three of them remained silent during the trip, only two of them by choice. Upon their return, they request access to the Kalen, then carefully maneuver their craft in next to the new shuttle in the fighter bay. They secure the vessel. Kuro takes Tasrek to the med bay as Ghire heads off to deposit the bags and stow the gear.
As Kuro enters the medical bay, he notices Raith on the table,
beneath t`Kethry who seemed to be performing some sort of operation.
Kuro lay Tasrek on the table, looking about for t`Pranara, seeing that t`Kethry was pre-occupied.
T`Pranara>::brings over a few items for t`Kethry, then looks over to
Kuro::
Tr`Kuro>::smiles a bit:: I need au to check on him, we had a bit of
difficulty enlisting him.
T`Pranara>::looks down at him:: I see, well I`ll get right on it Rekkhai ::produces a scanner::
Tr`Kuro> hann`yyu, he may be a bit disoriented when he awakes, I`ll put
Elq in to make sure he`ll be alright ::he walks over to Raith and spies the implants in the tray::
T`Kethry> ::eyes Kuro over her work:: Either put on some gloves and dig
in or leave
tr`Kuro>:smiles a bit, then walks out of the med bay::
