(D9 EN Security Team) Assuming Direct Control

[Craw Toboga]

Craw extended his hand in a handshake. "Mutual friends, huh? Well I appreciate the help. Guess we just hunker down and hold the fort down now, huh?"

[Nekoinu]

He extended his hand. "Yeah, hunker down. And I believe you know them too, actually, our mutual friends."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw turned to where the others were and yelled for them to come down. "You heard the man, hunker down and hold the fort!" He theb turned back to the mandalorian. "Who would our mutual friend be then?"

[Nekoinu]

The Mandalorian leaned in to whisper to Craw. "Imperial friends, Craw. Haar'chak, he really told you nothing."

[Nudimsu]

"Well then." He nods. "Man has always managed to surprise me." Looking to the two, he placed his gun to his side. "Do what you need to do and let's move."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw nodded, frowning under his helmet. "Absolutely nothing. When this is over we're gonna have a long talk about communication with him." He surveyed what state the security station was in. "So what clan are you guys? I don't recognise your markings."

[Nekoinu]

"We were formerly of Clan Kelborn. Decided that it was a doomed Clan with Kyr'ad at the helm." He displayed his Clan symbol proudly. "Clan Mivnahl is our new banner."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw nodded. "Good for you guys. Kyr'ad hates my guts anyway so I can't really say I'm sad for him."

[Nekoinu]

Cyan Nexu typed away at her post until she got brushed aside by the other slicer. "H-hey what're you doing?! If you set off those alarms, the nearby patrols will swarm the lab team!"

The Mivahl mercenary leader nodded. "Do it."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw took a second. Then he loudly exclaimed "NOPE! Belay that order!" He swung his blaster to aim at the splicer. "You guys know that Dur's on that team right? And that it's the one we were hired to protect?"

[Nekoinu]

The slicer held up his hands while the Mandalorians of Clan Mivahl kept their hands ready. "Udesii, ner vod! Udesii. We have him on the line. He can sprint away and we will seal the doors behind him. Then he can regroup with the rest of the crew and will take over the station."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw didn't lower his gun yet. He had a concentrated frown under his helmet and it showed in his voice. It was level and cold. "Who put you up for this? The sith? Czerka?"

[Nekoinu]

"We have mutual friends, I told you that already." He shook his head. "We're going to annihilate all non-essential Czerka personnel. The scientists are still useful to us, though."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw sneered meanly and said in a loud frustrated voice. "Mutual fucking friend you said that yeah. Stop dancing around the goddamn subject. Put it plainly. Who the fuck put you up for this fakacta double cross?"

[Nekoinu]

"Haar'chak! The Sith Empire. They gave us the tip off." With that, O'nera brought out her lightsabers and ignited them. "And now she's upset. Guess we can kill a Jedi today."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw festered for a bit, before roaring out into the room in rage. "EVERYBODY CHILL THE FUCK OUT! OR I SWEAR TO FUCK I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS! NOW SHUT UP AND LET ME FUCKING THINK YOU ASSHATS!" He kept the blaster trained on the splicer. After catching his breath, he spoke to the jedi in a quieter voice. "Put the goddamn lightsaber away. We can try to solve this without violence." He could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth.
He turned to the mandalorian leaders. "Jesus... Dur hired you, I'd think you'd have a little more honor than to defect to the empire first chance you get." He paused. "Okay. I'm sorry, I did not mean to insult, tensions are just... running high. Look why don't you just let the teams do what they came to do and take over the station after that?" He spoke in a barely level voice.

---

I will spend a fucking destiny point in not having violence break out yet if I have to. But I'd rather not.

[Nudimsu]

He hated to acknowledge how right the Mandalorians were about this. It would give them satisfaction in their double cross, so to speak. Still, it was Craw's people, estranged as they were.

Not much we can do right now, but just escape with whomever else we can. Can't take them on, even with the Jedi on our side.

Already, this had less to do with a profit, or intel for the Ascendancy, but more for survival. Hopefully, Craw could get everyone to calm down.

[Nekoinu]

O'nera turned off her lightsabers and stood ill at ease. She paced about, ready to leap into action at any moment. The mercenary leader sighed. "We aren't here to kill you too. We were asked not to. But as for your teams, their aim is to destroy the research. Ours is to claim it for ourselves. See why we can't let them live?"

[Craw Toboga]

Silence. A long, long stretch of silence. Craw's heart was thumping at a thousand miles per hour, a deadly mixture of rage, fear and ambiguous hatred flowing through his veins. This is what happens, Craw. He thought. This is what happens when you trust people. His mind had arrived at the rather obvious dead end of thought, this is all some giant clusterfuck orchestrated by the Sith and Dur. He didn't trust the sith, he wasn't that stupid. But his own crew member, setting him up as a pawn to betray an employer. Another broken promise, you really aren't good for anything else are you? He was glad for the helmet obscuring his face, once again.
With a sigh he lowered his weapon. "Fuck it. Fuck him. Fuck you." He spat. "Do what you want, but at least give those poor bastards a warning before you sic the security teams on them." He turned to Nudie and the Jedi. "We're leaving Nudie. If you want a ride out of here Jedi you're free to come with us." He looked over his shoulder. "You too Cyan."

[Nudimsu]

He paused for a moment, trying to come up with everything he could in this situation. If there were better planning, if there was more able bodies to help, this could change. The goals could have been met, and their objectives would be served. Too many people involved in this whole ordeal, and this is where it ended up.

If Nudimsu was showing was feeling any emotion other than calm, it was well hidden between his stare at the Mandos. At this time there was little, if anything, to be done. At least Durasay would make it out, but no clue on the others.

"No Craw, we stay to the end. Help how we're able to, if we're able at all. This is the task at hand. Besides, we can't leave our own in there, you know."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw looked at him. A long drawn out look. It's meaning obscured beneath Craw's black visor. "Fine. We wait." His tone was cold.

[Nekoinu]

O'nera took a breath and sat down on her knees in a meditative stance. Her sabers were still on her lap, ready to be used at a moment's notice, but she appeared to be out. Cyan Nexu, for her part, was outright confused on what to do in this situation.

"Your crew needs to sit down and have a chat," the Mandalorian leader remarked.

[Craw Toboga]

"No shit sherlock." He grunted as he took a seat near the others of his crew.

[Nudimsu]

"Thanks for the advice." He smiled his condescending smile to him and looked back at Craw.

"Perhaps a group game of Dejarik would be wise, Craw. You remember our time in Tatooine playing it?"

[Nekoinu]

Clan Mivahl's representative took the time to step away and call up a certain mutual friend of theirs. In the meantime, Cyan Nexu motioned over for Craw and Nudimsu to check it out. "We cut access to the lab. They'll be sitting ducks there."
