Alexander Atreides was sitting inside a small safehouse on Corellia, going through the latest series of orders he had gotten passed down the chain of command. They had done quite a few operations out of the local general store's basement, and it was starting to look more and more dangerous for them to remain any longer, so they had packed up what they could carry and were preparing to destroy the rest beyond salvaging. Atreides had sent the last man out with the remaining supplies, they would be scattering to different cells to limit how easily tracked any of them would be instead of all moving to a new location together. It was a shame, he had enjoyed working with them, but it was high time they scatter to prevent easy detection. The Corellian Resistance still operated within the Alliance, usually deploying across the various planets contested or poorly held by the Imperials. They had recently returned from one such job and were scattering to prevent tracking of any one of them to the group, when the old holo projector lit up on its own volition, gathering the attention of the about to leave Alexander.

Watching the message play out to its completion, the Corellian rebel promptly verified the security on the message. It was genuine, as far as he could tell, which meant things were about to get unusually interesting, to say the least. Atreides grinned as he slung his pack over his shoulder, frying the holo projector before he left to ensure it could not be restarted, and no data on it salvageable. In his bag was mostly tools and supplies, concealing what some would find far more condemning. His A280 blaster rifle, a rebel favorite already for quite a few rebel forces, but he valued it for the ability it had to punch through personal armor. Including Stormtrooper armor, something that he valued highly. He carried his DL-18 on his hip, a blaster pistol that would not attract much attention for an obviously space faring technician. Not with the amount of danger to be found this day and age from both Imperials and those 'hostile' rebel forces. Sure, it wouldn't go through Imperial armor unless he got unusually lucky or put a lot of shots into it, but it would do work on unarmored forces and could scare rookie Imp Troopers. Blaster fire was blaster fire, after all.

Atreides knew the cantina that was to be the meeting place, he was fond of the place so he didn't let himself become too well known there. He didn't want to lose out on cheap drinks and a no question's asked mentality, long as you didn't bring your trouble in with you. He had no doubt this Knight Aath would be able to point out who he sent the message to, so he wasted no time when he walked into the place and set his kit down at a table instead of the bar itself. A serving droid made its way over, and he placed his order for some generic Malt the place served that was better then just about any of the other pisswater that the place tended to serve the unknowing or uninitiated. Once his drink arrived, he took his time savoring the flavor as he watched the door, waiting for anyone who looked the part or outright was this Knight Aath.
Alright, will do, thanks.
Hmm, so are we posting our arrival on Coruscant, or how should we approach the intro, setting wise?
Alright, here is my pathfinder for perusal and consideration

Well, as far as I am aware, Apollo is still looking for another one, so by all means come on by the OOC and submit a chara.
My apologies, that part had slipped my mind to be honest. The whole internal monologue on the post can be chopped, honestly, instead of having it there.
Stukov kept his arms crossed as others spoke and gave their own views and opinions, some outright agreeing with him, Koehler he inclined his head to in indication that he heard him, others taking their own viewpoints and stances. Unsurprisingly, Miles seemed to not really concern himself with anything the boy had already said, instead focusing on his lone wolf way of life. It seemed that they would end up clashing on the field of battle during this mock test, whether Stukov liked it or not. Needs must, he supposed, and he did not have to like the situation to be involved in it. The boy knew he did not look how he felt, nerves and an ungodly mix of fear and apprehension were brewing in his stomach. But considering how some of the others looked all but ready to cry, he kept a strong front up for the sake of many. He could throw up later, if it came down to it. Yeshua made some interesting points, but first he fixed an disdainful glare in return to the equally cold one he had gotten. "And you are more than welcome to get surrounded and swamped by Cruxi forces when you go off on your own, with no support to ensure we 'stay out of your way'. That's your issue, eh?."

Lora's own commentary fell in line with Yeshua's to a degree, and he addressed those two next as he kept his arms crossed. He hadn't ever learned any fancy public speaking stuff, he spoke what he saw necessary without wasted breath or motion. Might need to, and if the pilot of Anzû could do grand public speaking well, they might be able to cooperate on the matter of such things. "That is what they said Lora, fully agreed. And Yoshua does make a valid point, we won't get anywhere split up and picking sides. A divided group is easily conquered, military history is clear on that. This mock battle, no matter who gets picked leader, should be taken as a chance to see who and what we're working with. Feel out strengths, and weaknesses, in each person's Framewerk and piloting skill. Kind of like show and tell, with giant machines of war instead of pets and toys."

Even his own, Stukov left unsaid, especially his own. He was surrounded by pilots of Framewerks mostly designed to master various fields of choice, even Elora's Diver was built for intelligence and recon, and could probably pick out weakpoints in Daemon without him realizing it. His mind turned to each person's Framewerk, and what he had seen of them in the briefings prior to his arrival here. Elora, he had already covered. Romeo was that Rose Framewerk, close quarters and armed for it, as decorative and fancy as the design might be. Krista's Archer could outrange him any day of the week, and hit hard enough to rattle just about anyone. And that brought him to the rather brought up pilot and her Framewerk.

Lora and the Caliburn. A lot of focus was put on her and her Framewerk, and Stukov could see why. Bristling with weapon systems and armor, one could rightly fear such a battlefield monster. Only experience would show the chink in that armor, but Stukov would not let the obvious Juggernaut of the group distract him from the others. Not with the Lone Wolf and his Black Komodo. Fast, well armed and piloted by a ruthless boy. Not a good combination, and one he would be keeping a keen eye out for. Anzû and her pilot Yeshua, another sniper with far more mobility, which would be tricky to hit. Koehler's Roxy, even though he had already stated he would not be looking for Stukov, didn't warrant thought. Another brutal melee Frame, if memory served, and enough of one to make swiss cheese out of most armor. Ryan of the Macabre did not say much, but he did not need to, if that blade on the Frame was as deadly as it was noted to be on the briefs. All experts in their Frame's fields of choice, which would make a good squad. If they could work together after this in any capacity.

Stukov's mind went back to the suggestion on discussing Framewerks of each pilot, and he shrugged finally, having been lost in his own trains of thought. "If everyone wants to discuss Frames, I won't argue with it. Seems like folks have an idea of what everyone has as it is, though."

<Snipped quote by Skyrte>

the sooner the better

it's time to get this plot moving already. i got so many mischievous ideas for how to use adrianne's powers already xD


And now Stukov gets to dread what Warp shenanigans are about to occur, thanks to our ever so friendly neighborhood psyker.
5-6, too large a group gets unwieldy.
Hmm, not my usual cup of tanna, but I'll jump on in, sure as sure.
