[O4 - Tangrene - PK] Sabotaging the Communications Relay (Episode II Entry)

As they approached the Comms relay, Cori prayed that the clearance codes she had sliced were still active. Orrelli and the Ciutric Hedgemony had supplied them with uniforms that were voefully outdated, so it was important that no one paid too much attention to the Rebel war criminals now clad in Central Authority trooper armor.

Orrelli played the part as lieutenant well, handing over the codes, and putting effort into keeping his squad in order. Luckily the darkness hid the details of their old uniforms, and they were allowed to pass, on top of the building Cori could see the demolition squad had successfully gotten in position, as Orrelli started to loudly reprimand his squad for being lazy.

He ordered them all over to the side, in reality they needed to get into position to offer cover fire, but the ruse worked.

Meanwhile the demolition squad was setting up the last explosives by the dish, the crater would be large enough to cripple the Central Authority while the Shadow Council made their move to take control of the fortresses. Of course the Squad thought they were aiding the New Republic, and once the mission was over, they would no longer be useful. 

The extraction route was also set up, down the side of the building, through the canyon.

"Charges has been placed, we are moving to extraction route." A few minutes later, explosions roared through the canyon, the Relay Station ablaze with fire. Orrelli ordered the faux Stormtroopers to open fire.

While the attack took the Defensive forces by surprise they were soon reinforced with additional storm troopers emerging from the inside of the facility. The demolition squad made their escape and Orrelli's squad covered them as they descended on a wire to the bottom of the canyon. Orrelli and Cori also made it out, but most of the armor clad rebels were killed.

As Cori reached the bottom, she ignited the charges set at the top of the wire, and as the wire slacked and fell to the ground, they ran.
