The Rookie nodded out of reflex then stopped to think. He didn't know why they were after him, but they were. There were so many of them, he could try to evade them, but they were more familiar to this place than he was. He shrugged and moved his hand as to say he had a 50/50 chance he could evade them.

I have an idea. If you feel as though you can trust me, you will give me your weapons, and let me 'lead' you off out of the park, as though I had captured you. If someone confronts me, I will act as though I was a high-ranking undercover agent who's existance was none of that person's business. I've done this kind of act before back in my old home, and it shouldn't be that much harder to pull off. said Wedge after a minutes thought. If they see through it, my stun setting on my blaster should answer all the remaining questions that they might have for us. Which I will have pointed at your back, safety on. If you don't feel like you can trust me, or you have a better idea, don't hesistate to throw one out there.

"That kind of thing actually works?" Aminee had her arms folded by this point, simply watching the two and keeping an eye on her watch to see how much time has passed since the beginning of this recruitment. The Pop Idol would have assumed they could see right through such a trick but maybe it would work. Most of their top agents are never in the standard Vulture military gear and they never question them, plus there's no way every guard on watch duty would know who's who and what's what. Aminee didn't have any better ideas herself as she was more the 'do as told' type when it came to being part of this rebellion. She looked back to the Rookie. "That idea cool with you?"

Wedge chuckled slightly. You wouldn't think that it would, but if you can hold your act, as well as your ground, you should be able to get past most common soldiers. What gives me massive points for this is that they've got no clue who I am or what I'm capable of, so I can get away with my act all the easier. Once I become an active member of the Rebellion, I won't be able to do this as easily with my . Look at it from their perspective. If this random guy, who could render this armor-clad soldier so helpless as to put his hands above his head in defeat, tells me to keep my nose out of official business that was for spec-ops only? I'd keep my head down. You can get a lot more with a big stick and a big voice than you'd think. Anyway, we need to get moving. I think one of those guards that was after you is starting to head towards this direction. Any closer and I might have to act like I beat the Sith out of you.

"All right. I'll meet you guys at the destination." Aminee turned around and ran out of the park beginning her journey back to the resistance HQ. They didn't have to worry about her being stealthy or not. She was small, wore all black and knew the area well enough to know where patrols normally were at what time. Something she would have shared if there was time and means to do so. The Pop Idol made a mental note to come up with something that did that back at HQ as she headed back there now.

((For your information, Xemnas, we are only controlling you (being as how Wedge would have to control you anyway) to get you to a recruiter different from Aminee, only to continue the thread. We waited for a while for your return. Please understand our actions.))
Wedge frowned at the guard's direction when he saw a civilian talking to him and pointing toward them. Alright, soldier, lets move. Act like you've been captured and beaten up. Limp a little or somthing. Whispered Wedge, drawing his blaster and pushing on the armored man's back, leading him away from where they were standing.
The guard who was informed ran over, weapon drawn. "You two! Stop right there! Where do you think you're going? That man is wanted!"
Wedge put on his traditional, commanding officer look and stared hard at the man. What business is it of yours? I've got him under custody. He will be dealt with appropriately. This is now out of the local authorities hands.
"But he's wanted for killing a man in my park. I'm not going to just let him walk away with some man carrying an illegal firearm."
Illegal? It's perfectly legal to let a specops like me carry a weapon. And it's also perfectly legal to eliminate anyone who knows that I am who I am. Wedge leaned forward towards the guard, blaster slowly rotating to face him. Do you know who I am?
Sweat beaded on the guard's brow, and he shook his head after a moment's hesistation. "N-no, sir. Carry on. I didn't see anything."
Good. Bring up any word of it, you will be killed. Simply report this man to be dead from gang activity. We'll deal with the truth the way our leader wishes. Without another word, Wedge pushed the soldier's back with the barrel of his gun to go forward. Once they were out of earshot, Wedge let himself have a small sigh of relief.
Time passed slowly as they made their way to the rendevoux. Few guards stopped him, especially when Wedge would smash his way through security checkpoints through simple technicalities and the cloak of the specops world, which he was very glad to find out existed in his society. He turned at the nearest corner, out of the prying eyes of the guards. They walked for a bit to their destination. Wedge holstered his gun and nodded to the armored soldier, pointing to a man who stood near Aminee. You talk to him. I've got questions for her. Wedge then broke off and silently approached the awaiting Aminee, arms folding across his chest.

"What do you know, it did work." Said Aminee, more to herself than anything. The other recruiter went to the side with the Rookie leaving Aminee and Wedge to talk on their own as she approached him, folding her arms where she stood. "You must have a dozen questions for me. Shoot."

I'll make it simple for you, so you can hear all of my concerns. One, what is this rebellion for exactly? I don't want to join some hotshots who are in this for causing chaos and panic. I'm here to save people from an evil they themselves are incapable of escaping. Two, will I be provided services for my X-wing (assuming I join) such as refueling and rearming? I can tell you what kind of things I need should it come to that. I know my proton torpedoes are limited, as well as my fuel. I can't synthesize them with what I have either. Three, if I could find a group who can fly, I'd like to form a squadron like what I had before here, called Rogue Squadron. We'd be at your disposal, willing do to whatever mission you threw at us. Even if everyone is expected to not make it out alive.

"Isafaro is a military dictatorship ran by its general General Vulture. The citizens here have no rights, they either do what they're told or they're dealt with severely. There's even a strictly enforced curfew forced on the citizens and anyone found wandering around at night are thrown in jail." That was the reason she ended up in prison and they didn't even care about the fact she weren't even from this planet. As for your X-Wing I don't know. I'm not really an expert on that. If the supplies are available they'll gladly give you service to your X-Wing. A squadron sounds great I'm just not sure where we'd find the jets. Or the pilots..."

Wedge's brow furrowed. This would be a harder campaign than he would have liked, but he decided to put hope into the people of the city being dissatisfied with their government's current actions. Many campaigns have been won through air power. Space power became key in his galaxy, and his space superiority fighter was designed to conquer just that aspect, regardless of its size.
If we can get the materials, I can provide the specs for more spacecraft like my own. Even ones that are faster and more nimble, or slower and more powerful. It's up to you what you want, and what you can find. And pilot-wise, I could train a few capable individuals in basic flight skills. You might have a Luke Skywa- I mean, a real adept pilot among your troops.
Wedge paused for a minute to think, letting his thoughts move about his decision, debating whether landing and entering a rebel faction would be best for his cause.
I only have one request. If I am given the opportunity to leave to my own galaxy, where I belong, I will do what I can to take it. Otherwise, my X-wing and I are at your disposal. A hardness that fit all too well on Wedge's face set in. It was one of determination, of prowess, and of anticipation, set in from many years of constant campaigning.
Where can I start?

"That should be fine. Many have requested the same thing. Keep in mind though depending on how different the tech in your world is we may run into some complications." When he asked where to start, Aminee turned around and started walking towards the warehouse, signalling for him to follow. "Trust me." She walked directly through the wall of the warehouse, which was a hologram, and into a tunnel that led down to a series of labs that made up the resistance base. Several barricades between here and there that guarded the place at all hours of the day and night stood at the path and the soldiers moved them to allow for easy access. "Follow me, please. The Commander or Captain will be able to tell you where you can start. My job is more or less just to get you here."

Wedge walked through the wall without any issues. He had seen facilities such as this before in his galaxy and was no stranger to it's facilities. Inside, his nostalgic mind recieved a massive revitalization, seeing all the carefully orchestrated chaos occur inside. This was what the Rebel Alliance was, back before the victory over Endor. Wires, cables, pipes, papers, all strewn about in a well placed mess. He knew that they were not one hundred percent organized, despite its organization from a distance. Even the defenses seemed pretty ragtag, and it only fueled the old fire of the Rebel Alliance in his heart. This was the stuff he remembered. Back when the Empire was still run by the Emperor and Darth Vader. No real political issues, just a group of people trying to save systems from the tyranny of the Empire. Aminee's words cracked a small smirk on the pilot's face as he followed her closely, careful not to get in anyone's way as he followed. You're only a recruiter? Surely there's more you want to do.

"I don't really know what I want to do." Aminee wasn't a fighter like Kragen or Garrus, she wasn't a pilot like Kira or Wedge here, and she was certainly no biotic. She didn't have any combat training and could barely fight with the handgun that was given to her by Kragen. Just running around in Isafaro and recruiting anyone willing to fight was probably more than most would have allowed her to do. In all honesty Aminee thought she would have been better suited behind a desk. "I'm no soldier. Unless the resistance needs someone to sing and dance, my skills are pretty limited."
They reached the labs, upon entry Aminee was already looking for signs of Imai, 201 or anyone high enough in rank to know what to do with Wedge now that she had him here. "The Commander and Captain shouldn't be far. Oh! If you see a guy with a gas mask on with a taller, not so human looking guy in blue armor, don't freak."

If you're a singer and a dancer, I'm sure soldiers would appreicate such a thing before and after major events, to keep morale high. Morale is just as important as food and water. said Wedge with a helpful hint to his voice. Use your talents where you can. Rebellions like this one need everything they can get. In any form. I'd recommend trying to find a way you could use your talents here in this facility, in fact.
The warning of the different creatures prompted a small smile from Wedge. Lady, I've faced much worse than a gas mask wearing individual and a near-human. I wont freak. Unless it's a Wookiee. Then... all bets are off.
Wedge looked about the lab, as if he knew who she was looking for. It looked a tad out of place in the ragtag facility. Labs were usually away from the high-risk locations, but he doubted that there were more Rebel outposts like this one. Space was space, and they had to use it.

"Lady, I've faced much worse than a gas mask wearing individual and a near-human. I wont freak. Unless it's a Wookiee. Then... all bets are off."
“No Wookiees. Turian.”
201 walked up to two from behind, having caught the very end of their conversation as she looked the man over.
“Captain 201, at your service,” she said lending out her hand for a shake before glancing over at Aminee.
“Bagged yourself a pilot, I see. I hope you're just as good with ground vehicles because unless you have a fighter's jet stored away somewhere we don't have much in the way of air vehicles to put you in.”
Oh if only she knew. |
