"Due to possible security breaches in their trasmission matrix, Ehoc had ordered Fia to look into the issue. She had identified the flaw, and begun to upgrade the system. This meant taking it down for a whole day, and left the Ordo open to cyber attacks..."

Report 5 "Wildfire"

"Wildfire" After taking down the security systems restricting and verifying incoming transmission to the stronghold on Seswenna for upgrades, several ordo members were contacted by multiple unknown sources. It was obvious they were all directed towards then Ordo as a whole, but because of interference they were not all clear. As the messages came inn Ehoc called the Ordo to the tactical room. He had received a message himself, one he did not share with anyone…
***
Fia, Azorak and Delawar spoke up stating they had all received messages and told everyone what the messages said. They ended up with a set of coordinates on Tatooine, leading to a location that seemed familiar to Fia. Datto Wys, a local who had been forced to work for the empire for years, she was almost sure of it. Ehoc and Fenrir put Craft and Ivy in charge of the mission and ordered them to depart at once to find out what this was all about. They were also told to keep a low profile and not raise suspicions. Craft Decided they may need to split off into groups at some point and assigned the groups before departing. He also ordered everyone to change into clothes and armor that would not stand out so they all could more easily blend inn on Tatooine. Once everyone was ready, they headed out. All of them focused yet one of them having a secret…
***
Landing on Tatooine, they quickly made their way to the location provided in the message they had received. It turned out Fia had been correct, they lead to Datto Wys. He acted shifty, not himself as Fia remembered the man, and clearly uncomfortable. He informed Fia that he was just a middle man and had been asked to get a hold of the Ordo on behalf of someone else. A person named Dverg. Giving Fia the location of Dverg he also whispered to her, in a cryptic manner and handing her a datapad. Another set of coordinates were scribbled down on the datapad, and Datto made several hints that something was terribly wrong.
***
Craft decided it was time for them all to split up. He would bring Leilanne, Fia and Azorak. Ivy would take charge of Delawar, Mohekzul and Arrtrok. Craft took his group to the coordinates given by Datto on the datapad, whilst Ivy would go to the coordinates that he spoke out loud. Craft, Fia, Lelianne and Azorak was lead to an area just besides the cantina, out of the way and in cover. Craft sent Fia out to talk to the shady character that awaited them there. He introduced himself as Dverg, and immediately recognized Fia. He acted like a starstruck child seeing his hero for the first time, and went on and on praising the Ordo, thanking them for saving his life on Balmorra. He said he was one of the troopers they saved when they had been pinned down by republic soldiers. Fia remembered the incident well, it was the first supposed target location of the Jedi on balmorra but she had no time for idle talk. Getting to the point quickly she asked him what he wanted and why he tried to contact them. Getting back to the ground Dverg told her he was very eager to join the Ordo, he had done research himself and had found out there was a jedi presence on Tatooine. He had been told to meet an old CO, who might have more information for him, but he feared for his life and asked if Fia could go there for him. Fia agreed and told him to stay put, she would contact him once she had checked out the site.
***
After being sent to the coordinates given by Datto Wys, Ivy, Delawar, and Arrtrok went to look for their contact. Having arrived at the location, the group decided to wait for Mohekzul, who was taking his time getting there, before walking up to the person, who claimed to be Dverg. "What the.... who are you?!", the man asked repeatedly, being confused as to why 4 people were standing around him. Ivy told Arrtrok to stand guard, while also commanding Del to beat the man up yelling at him to reveal the information. After a brief moment, she asked her group what information they were looking for in the first place, and Arrtrok answered: "INTEL!", which Ivy quickly repeated. Following orders, the guard lifted him up, and smashed him to the ground, pressing the air out of his lungs. Repeated questions about who the group was in the first place were met with more beatings and death threats. Having had enough pain for a while, he asked whether the group of people was the same group, who saved his hide on Balmorra. Answering this question with a yes, Arrtrok stepped in front of the man, who was now pressed into his seat by Del and apologized for Ivy's behaviour, claiming that she liked spice. The commanding officer, who was currently "discussing" her methods of interrogation with Mohekzul heard this and answered with a shot to Arrtrok's leg. Being unsure what to make of the group that was tearing itself apart from the inside, the imposter revealed his information, positive that they would meet up with a contact, as he claimed to fear the empire tracking him, and therefore wouldn't allow himself to go near this place. After having revealed this information, it didn't seem to be enough, as he was repeatedly questioned to reveal what he knows, apparently, nobody realizing that he just did. After a few more back and forth, Ivy had seen through his charade and decided she would follow her instincts. Ending the imposter's life with a shot to the head. This again sparked unrest within the group, yet Ivy commanded them to head to the coordinates.
***
Arriving close to the location they had been sent to, Craft ordered Fia and Leilanne to check it out, it was just off the main street through an archway and into a smaller alley. Fia and Leilianne went inn first, finding the alley empty. Craft joined them to figure out what they were dealing with, and if there might be a clue as to what was amiss. However shortly after he entered the area, a barrel at the entrance of the alley exploded, Sending Craft flying and Lelianne pushed back, Fia had taken cover to watch their backs and was protected from the blast. Azorak joined them immediately to see if they were alright. The black smoke filled the area and was easily spotted throughout the city. It took only moments for the entrance to the area Fia, Craft, Lelianne and Azorak was now trapped inn, to be surrounded by imperial soldiers.
***
After a short walking period, the squad arrived in front of a house, several members claiming that it looked shady. As a consequence of questioning Ivy's methods, Mohek was ordered to go in first. Nothing was in front of the house, yet voices could be heard from the inside. The Sith walked inside, narrowly evading the gaze of four people, who were having a conversation. Mohekzul walked outside again, informing the rest that there were people inside, but at the same time, not lowering his voice, causing one of the four to hear him, asking the others, if they heard something as well. Ivy decided it would be best to draw them out with noise, and so commanded Mohek and Jarvik to make loud noises. Mohek threw some pebbles at a nearby wall, while the monkey lizard let out a loud squawk. Not walking into the obvious trap, the group decided to stay inside, where they had the upper hand. Ivy ordered her squad to keep the enemies alive, as they ran in, starting a fight. Two of the thugs were armed with blasters, two with vibroblades, and as Mohekzul entered first, the two gunslingers opened fire on the Sith. One of the two was knocked out pretty quickly, falling victim to Ivy's shooting skills, as well as a well-aimed electrodart. The other shooter met a similar fate, getting hit by 2 darts, causing his heart rate to fluctuate for a few seconds, but ultimately, kept him alive. In the meantime, both Arrtrok and Delawar had taken a few hits from the two swordsmen, as well as some shots from the other two.
***
Only spending a few moments to plan, Craft, Fia, Lelianne and Azorak decided on a plan. Azorak approached the Imperial soldiers who now had been joined by a Sith as well and numbered 10. He explained he was a mechanic working on some power relays and an accident happened where the device blew up. Although hesitant the imperials believed him and offered two guards to escort him to medical facilities, so he could be checked out. As they took him away the Sith ordered a few more soldiers to enter the alley and check out the damage. Fia, Craft and Lelianne hid away well enough to not be spotted by the soldiers, who decided upon finding the exploded barrel it was more hassle than it was worth to report it inn. They finished up and reported back to the Sith. Meanwhile Azorak had been busy, after getting out of sigh he had killed both soldiers escorting him, murdering them with his lightsaber and leaving the bodies somewhat covered to the side. Heading back his plan was to ambush the Sith and the soldiers. By the time he was in position to ambush the imperials however, they were all heading out bar two, who had ben left guarding the area, so civilians would not enter. Fia and Craft would take the initiative, to take the guards out and leave the area. Fia stunned one guard whilst Craft killed the other, they hid the bodies well, and got out of there. They decided to check in on Dverg, despite Fias failed attempt at reaching him via a communicator.
***
Hearing an explosion Delawar suggested that it might be best to look for the other group after the fight, while still trying to fight off one of the two melee fighters. Arrtrok, who had not hit an enemy once up to this point in the fight used his rage to unleash a vicious slash at his opponent, hitting the throat, causing him to fall down and gasp for air, the sounds mixed with the noise of blood spilling out from his throat for his last few moments. The last thug, realising that his situation was helpless, dropped two thermal detonators, the explosion hitting Delawar, and some fragmentation hitting Ivy, while Arrtrok and Mohekzul were able to defend themselves from the blast.

***
They got back to where Dverg had been told to wait, only to find him dead, shot in the head. Fia searched the body finding a datapad which she brought with her. Cursing her own failure and taking it personally Fia felt bad, he had trusted her, and she let him down. She did not have much time to grief however, as alarms were sounded. The two soldiers killed by Azorak had been discovered and the city fell into a state of chaos and anarchy. Lelianne, Craft, Fia and Azorak reacted quickly and made their way to the shuttle in the spaceport. Radioing Ivy, craft tried their status. Ivy briefed Craft, and together after a discussion they decided it would be best if Crafts group picked up the others out in the desert.
***
As alarms could be heard throughout the city, Ivy and Arrtrok quickly looked through the rooms, for any intel they could get, while Mohek and Del picked up the two surviving thugs. Finding nothing, Ivy commanded the squad to run outside the city, escaping into the desert. After a short "discussion" with Craft'lon, the group was rescued by the Ordo's shuttle. ***
Well back on Seswenna Ivy and Craft de-briefed to Fenrir and Ehoc, telling them exactly what happened and what they found. Ehoc was pleased they had at least gotten a datapad out of it all and ordered Fia to get all the information as soon as the upgrades to the security system was done. Dismissing everyone his eyes followed Fia, a pained look masked by his helmet as he remembered the message he had received. He would not share it with anyone, he would deal with it himself.
***

Mohekzul and Delawar wanted to talk to Ehoc after the briefing. He allowed it and was soon angered to find it was nothing but complaining and unwarranted whining regarding Ivys command. Ehoc hit Mohek, angered by the fact he could be so naïve and foolish, based on his own words Ivy had done nothing wrong an officer shouldn’t do. Delawar agreed with Mohek further angering Ehoc, who proceeded to Educate the pair on their ignorance and lack of military experience, making Del apologize to Ivy. Ivy followed her gut, and what the pair didn’t know was the message she had received before leaving for Tatooine.
HOLO: “You are in danger! The order you are a part of may be 0xxxzzghh and Dverg is behind it. I fear he will dfffctxxoot. Do NOT LISTEN TO HIM!”
She had followed her gut, and thus perhaps saved the whole operation…
*** "Dvergs datapad would contain much personal information, it would reveal that he came from Dromund Kaas. Along with his personal information it contained pictures of what would appear to be his family, his mother and father, and a few of a younger individual that could very well be his younger sister. Upon further digging several pages of something resembling fanfiction could be found. Some drawings of what looked like Ordo members, with small stories and description. Clearly made in affection and by a naïve fan. Diary pages would praise the Ordo and detail just how Dverg and his troop was saved, only to be punished by their commander Lord Varagesh, and shortly after disbanded and reassigned. The diary would also describe how he broke off from the empire, taking up small jobs to make ends meet. His search for the Ordo Templaris, a small note regarding the Kaas City incident, and scarps of information obtained from different individuals who had both encountered the Ordo and survived. The latest entrees would lay out some rumors, loose facts and mostly speculation as to Jedi activity on Tatooine. Although very loose information, a few locations had been marked on a map, and a few notes with loose descriptions of certain people, unclear if these were the Jedi or someone else. The remaining information on the datapad was related to holo-games, a few music playlists and some books."
