Apparition’s personal data logs: Mission Entry #10: Our research team was tracking the whereabouts of a Sith Force Adept, they got coordinates from a Sith Force Adept. This mission was to track down whatever was in these set of coordinates. Prior to that, high command received intel that the warlord’s project was almost complete, it would only be about a month before that project would be complete and I do not want to find out what it is. So we had to do something in order to disrupt the progress on the warlord’s project. Thrawn had a hunch that these set of coordinates had something to do with the warlord’s project. Naturally I was sent in, along with Crusader, Berserk, Fortress, Bacta and a normal stormtrooper’s name I forgot. We also had undercover agent join us in his stormtrooper armor. We also had Firestorm, Shoot Me and Jagged in reserve just in case we run into heavy armor. I don’t know how Firestorm learned to use a jet pack at the same time. I would rather not know details about it. It probably involved himself getting intentionally burned by a jet pack or something like that. When we landed, I noticed something particular about this place, the geography was normal for it was hilly forest. However it was something in the air was visible to us, it was like it was raining purple energy-like orbs or mist. I have never seen such a phenomenon occur like this in my lifetime before. I have been to a lot of strange planets before, but this definitely is up there in my ‘The Strangest Things in The Galaxy’ list. Aside from that, I did scout a patrol consisting of a novatrooper officer, a novatrooper and a scout sniper. They did move away from line of sight as they seemed to hop down a small cliff. Though two Sith Force adepts did appear in my sights, we moved in to ambush them. I targeted the two adepts so we had a better shot at them, Berserk started the ambush with his tri-shot. The others used a grenade to destroy the cover of the adepts and finish them off. When we were finished, I saw the Sith Assassin arrive in her teleport like fashion. Even from far away, I could see her deathly, soulless eyes. I thought that the patrol I spotted first would investigate the nearby explosions, but two more adepts did that job, the undercover trooper did score a hit on one of the adepts. We followed the same process as last time, I mark targets, someone throws a grenade to destroy the enemy's cover and eliminate them while they are exposed. All of us expected for that patrol to come rushing at us, so we held our positions and prepared to overwatch any path. We waited a minute or two…and nothing happened, it’s like they heard nothing. We did encounter a lone terror trooper, it didn’t last very long. After that terror trooper, that patrol finally strolled into our overwatch area, thus we have engaged that patrol (It took them long enough). Unfortunately, it wasn’t an ideal ambush that I was expecting, Berserk and our undercover agent missed the first initial shots. To be fair, Bacta grazed the Novatrooper Officer and blew his cover away. Not bad, but it could have been better with more people firing and none would miss. Crusader used his grenade launcher to damage and take out the novatrooper and scout sniper’s cover. Berserk fired at the exposed officer, but the officer somehow managed to graze those shots. Fortress moved to eliminate that officer, he did so through with his lightning quick reflexes however he still hasn’t overcome his reload obsession. If he had that resolved that would have led to killing all hostiles in that patrol. Bacta finished off the scout sniper, leaving that exposed novatrooper alive. I knew from the current range that I wasn’t going to kill him, so I went to get a better flanking position that allowed me to get a bit closer. As I hustled to this position, I noticed the twitching of leaves and a faint image of distorted air. It was her, the Sith assassin, even though I compromised her position, she did spot me too. I don’t recall ever encountering the Sith Assassin before, but I have heard stories from others who have done so. Like me, she is a master of disguise and is a master of close quarter combat. Unlike me, she uses the force to cloak, she is extremely quick, can use the force, she wields a lightsaber, can use a combo of her lightsaber and the force to create a shockwave and is super creepy with her not blinking. (Is she even alive?) One would think that she would be my ultimate rival, as she possesses most of my skills and does it better with some added bonus skills. In this encounter she didn’t do much. After she and I were revealed and I opened fire at her, she tried to zap our undercover agent. That remaining novatrooper fired twice and missed, I shouldn’t be surprised by that, because I think that novatrooper isn’t a proper novatrooper, probably an army trooper got on the warlord’s good side then getting a shiny set of armor considering the tactics. I was surprised and thankful by the Assassin’s choice, it would have been logical for her to use that shockwave move on us, but she didn’t. We capitalized on her mistake, first our two regular stormtroopers used their grenades to negate all of her armor, Fortress took a shot at her which crippled her. I could tell from all the blood spilling out, so I moved in to end her suffering temporarily, like the others she will come back until we take out her monument. I wasn’t impressed by the performance of the assassin, then again shotguns appear to be her main weakness. Especially one wielded by a stealthy stormtrooper that can imitate her tactics. But one could argue why we got off so easily, is that she was merely testing us. I doubt that theory considering what our results would reap after completing the mission. Bacta took out that remaining novatrooper. Next, I moved up to a cliff side overseeing a portion of forest and some sort of energy source, I wondered if it was the cause of the small purple energy orbs in this area. I couldn’t exactly make it out what this source was as the night fog obstructed my view. I also spotted a couple of terror troopers nearby. They did spot the main group behind and one climbed up only to reveal my presence. He was no match for my SX-21. Before that I did mark the two others below me, which allowed the others create a firing line resulting in the rest of the terror troopers being dead. We moved up closer to the energy source, there was lone terror trooper up ahead, he didn’t see me until he spotted the others moving down which he moved right next to my rock I taking cover behind, for that I blasted him in the face. I did get a closer look at the energy source, it looks like some sort of portal no doubt caused by the force. Sadly Crusader triggered its guardian? I am not sure how this portal works, but it seems like something was waiting for us to get closer. Once we did, a Sith Sorcerer came out of the portal. While not the first sorcerer that I have encountered, we were in a sticky situation as I couldn’t use the mimic beacon in time to fool the sorcerer. We did call in our reinforcements, however that did attract thr rest of the terror troopers guarding thr portal. Our reinforcements targeted the terror troopers instead, if I were them I would be more worried about the force wielding necromancer that can damage multiple targets. Which he precisely did that, he used some sort of force blast that hurted me and others. It also raised the dead, though the undead didn’t do much other than creep me out. However the sorcerer experienced a great deal of feedback which gravely wounded him when he did try to blast with the force which led to Jagged dispatching the Sorcerer and allowed us to secure the portal back to base. Remember when I said this mission would reap certain results? Us capturing this portal apparently was vital to the warlord’s progress. As soon as we got back, we got immediate chatter from our spies that this mission managed to cause setbacks in the warlord’s project. This gave us some breathing room, but I heard Thrawn wants to cause more damage to the project’s progress.
