[b][u]The Liberator - Teth, Baxel Sector[/u][/b][/sup][/right]
[color=#B30000]"The Vanguard report in?"[/color] Came a a calm, even tone from the rear of the Liberator's Bridge. The voice, though not raised, was projected easily by a helmet's onboard speakers to reach the ears of the man standing over the control pit of the massive ship. As the question was asked, the man turned back towards the approaching figure. A large twi'lek woman, dressed fully in midnight-black Beskar with an E-Web strapped onto her back. As she approached, she saw a small smile and nod appear on his features as an early response to her question. [color=007236]"Ah, yes. Vanguard reports that the ships holding orbit,"[/color] Wullf Yularen said in his typical refined tone, gesturing on the holographic display towards a grouping of ships holding position above the planet. [color=007236]"Appear to be the reported... terrorists, I believe the CIS is calling them. Triumph reports picking up scans of shuttles and the like heading down to planet, estimated landing was here."[/color] He said, gesturing again towards the projector showing a line coming from a Consular-Class marked as the Triumph. The line went down towards the planet, where further analysis showed what seemed a CIS Outpost of sorts. [color=007236]"The Vanguard should be coming within range of our terrorists there within a minute. Shall we attempt to hail our friends before shots get fired?"[/color] He asked, earning a simple nod from the Twi'lek as she reached up to remove her helmet. Long, crimson lekku fell free as she moved her helmet away. The lethan's crimson skin was covered in black tattoos, and her orange-tinged eyes.

[color=#B30000]"I'll do the talking, if you don't mind Admiral."[/color] Talik said firmly, offering a friendly smile as the man nodded back with a small chuckle. [color=007236]"As always, ma'am."[/color] He said as he stepped away and started issuing orders to bring the Liberator in towards the planet. Talik turned back towards the Holoprojector and took a couple of steps back to ensure she was properly in frame. The twi'lek's lekku twitched lightly as she allowed her eyes to drift close, taking a moment to compose herself as the massive ship rumbled as its powerful engines turned it in the direction of the vanguard ships. She sent a silent mental message to her sister, as she always did before going into combat, hoping that somehow Kada would feel her touch across the galaxy... just in case this battle were to be her last. Yet, she soon closed those emotions off from her mind and forced her eyes open once more. The nervous twitching of her lekku died down instantly to be replaced with a cool confidence, just as the holoprojector sprang suddenly to life. Before her, Talik saw the figure of a Mon Cala, seeming to study her carefully with a wide-eyed look.

[color=#B30000]"This is Talik Gida, aboard the Liberator. We're inbound towards Teth as we speak, you should see our first three ships coming already."[/color] She said softly, yet firmly, and continued before giving the Mon Cala a chance to respond.
[color=#B30000]"Intel indicated that the CIS was going up against a group of terrorists, as they're apparently labeling you, and we thought we'd offer our aid."[/color] Talik said with a small, confident grin appearing on her features as she finally gave the Mon Cala a chance to respond. As she did, she made a slight gesture towards the Admiral and watched from the corner of her eye as he issued orders to start spooling the Hyperdrive.

[color=6ecff6][i]"Copy that, Liberator. We did not expect the Firith Tar'don in this sector, but would welcome the assistance. Tagging your ships with friendly IFF now."[/i][/color] The Mon Cala said, earning a raised eyebrow from Talik.

[color=#B30000][i]Starting to get recognized, Tali, means we're doing something right.[/i][/color] She thought to herself, even as she listened in while the Mon Cala gave a quick briefing on the situation on the ground. Leaving just enough details out of the way for caution's sake. [color=#B30000]"The Liberator is jumping in now,"[/color] Talik said, as the Lucrehulk drifted out from behind one of the planets moon's to complete a microjump to their target. Immediately, Talik watched nearby screens light up with activity as friendly and hostile signatures were marked. Intelligence came streaming in from the sensors, and comms lit up as the vanguard took up positions around the newly-arrived Liberator. [color=#B30000]"We're here, and I've got some interesting details lighting up on scans. I will be heading groundside, and handing over command of my fleet to Admiral Yularen here,"[/color] Talik said as she gestured towards the Admiral who had already returned from issuing orders. [color=#B30000]"He'll be your contact from here."[/color]

The Mon Cala then turned and talked into a commlink for a few moments, then turned back towards Talik and spoke once again. [color=6ecff6][i]"Our Captain, Vrokro Olkzar, is groundside. Allow me to patch you through to him."[/i][/color] With a curt nod, Talik switched the call to audio comms as she slipped her helmet back on. Turning immediately and heading towards the hangar where she knew Sumari and Tivva were already waiting aboard a shuttle. A quick mute of the comms was made as she looked over her shoulder towards Yularen. [color=#B30000]"Admiral, keep me advised of any changes in the ground situation."[/color] She said, hearing his affirmation as she then un-muted herself on comms. While waiting for the Mon Cala to do whatever it was they needed to do.

Moments later, Talik was climbing into the dropship alongside her two squad mates and a another squad of rebel soldiers. The doors slammed shut, and the LAAT immediately shuttered as it lifted off. At the same moment, Talik got a notification of the connection to Olkzar being made on comms.

[color=#B30000]"Captain Olkzar, this is Talik Gida of the Firith Tar'don. Heard you could use a hand down there, so be advised of friendlies inbound. Where do you want us?"[/color] She asked, waiting for his response.
