You remember that old Corulag job, right?” Dirss nodded. “We gotta take care of this mess first, I don’t like trusting Hondo for this, he’s always caused us problems in the past. No more problems, just herding nerf and farming for the rest of our days.” Niak barked out a laugh, raising one hand to pat him on the shoulder. “That ranch house on Dantooine is sounding better every day. Dirss chuckled softly, reaching over to shut down the hologram and took a seat next to him. “This is exhausting, I can’t wait for it to be over with,” Niak muttered, slumping over the table, head passing through the hologram. Also, Kix wants to speak with you when you have a chance, she’s made some adjustments to your armor,” Niak said as Viera bowed and excused herself, only pausing to grab a bottle of ale from the fridge. “Alright then, can you head off to show Carina how it’s done. A simple weapons malfunction in the armory, highly suspicious but it’s not like we’re coming back later to bother them,” Viera said, nodding with a small smile at the thought. “It could work, Carina would probably be able to do it better, she’ll have the range and sight to be able to spot and identify the grenades before detonating them. It wasn’t on the same level as the one where the Twi’leks were being kept, nor any of the levels with exits that Aron could do a pickup at. They can always exit on a different floor than they entered,” Niak said, tapping the schematics to highlight the armory. It won’t matter if they’re alerted, as long as they don’t get in between the team and the Twi’leks. Bruck can set off the explosives there, it’ll put them on guard but the team gets to the old service tunnels and they can head straight for the level the Twi’leks are on. “The Palace armory has grenades, an accident would surely draw enough attention to momentarily create some chaos. If there are survivors then the alarm will sound and cause problems anyways,” Viera replied, frowning over the map as Niak slowly smiled.ĭirss knew his partner well, something had just dawned on him in that moment. “Unless the guards in question are keeping grenades on their person, it’ll be hard to see it as an accident. “If we went with Niak’s plan, could not Bruck use that technique you both use with grenades to take down the guards in the barracks or rec room? Surely that could clear enough of a path to get into the old service tunnels while they’re panicking over the sudden explosion?” We’re going to be found out eventually, but the later we can put it off the better,” Niak replied, glancing to Dirss as he approached, face relaxing slightly. “Yes but that entry point is too open, too easy to be spotted by patrolling guards.

Ru’s entry point had been through a vent too narrow for anyone that didn’t have Felacatian physiology, and so they’d gone over the schematics, done a few flybys to observe the guard patrols and determine where the best place to enter would be for the insertion team. The entry point that Bruck had used was too inconvenient for a larger group, vaulting over the wall and navigating the carnivores in the swamp would cause too many risks. A better insertion point would be to find an entrance closer to level twenty-five and go from there.” Niak frowned at the display as the hologram shifted closer. They’ll be caught before they get to the Twi’leks and pinned down. There’s a guard barracks near the closest, and a rec room by the other. “Yes, but look at where the easiest entry points to those service tunnels are compared to where the team’s inserting from. Niak hadn’t liked it that much either, but they’d survived it together. It reminded Dirss vaguely of his childhood on Dantooine at the preparatory school, how much he hated the stiff rules and the formal setting.

Viera shook her head, brown hair shaking like a kath hound that’d just gotten out of a lake. Carina guides them through to avoid the patrols, but those tunnels should allow them to bypass most of the security in general,” Niak was saying, pointing to the old tunnels running through the schematics.

Nirea will get them in through manipulating the security systems.

It’s basically a free path through the palace itself. “The service tunnels that Bruck found go up through half of the palace. Bruck’s infiltration had been a success in that it had gotten them the information they needed for the heist, if with the slight complication of another player in the game. Dirss slipped into the kitchen of their hideout quietly, heading to the long table where Niak and Viera sat, bent over diagrams and schematics for the Palace.
