20170612_224459 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrLeft without his staff, he shoots the soldier, but the jig is up. Shouts erupt across the base and a klaxon alarm blares from every loudspeaker in the area
Computerized voice via loudspeaker: "Attention please... Unidentified person of interest detected in this sector, Ground units ; response code green

20170612_225223 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrKABOOM
The pump explodes, killing the soldiers and rocking the truck with the shockwave
20170612_225636 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr*Engines revving*
Driver: "Fuck this, we're going to ram this clown"
The Truck peels away, tires squealing and smoke billowing as the truck beams towards Remus, he flees
20170612_225834 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
20170612_225944 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrHe turns around and blue energy emits from his hand
Remus: "Watch this!"
20170612_230041 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr*Poof!*
He briefly turns himself invisible, and dives out of the way, the truck takes off in search of him
20170612_230230 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrHe hides behind another vehicle and contacts the rest of his men at the outpost
Remus: Outpost, come in. I am in dire need of your assistance.
20170612_230505 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrBack at the outpost, the remaining Magikstrate troops recieve his transmission
IM Sergeant: "Yes sir, we read you, what do you require?"
Remus: "I have a major task to ask of you, I am pinned a Republic base, I do not have time to explain, but I have artifakts of extreme danger that need to be taken off world, I am without my staff. I require you to bring me a crystal so that I can complete the mission. But it's going to require you to engage the GR forces... You understand what this means?"
IM Sergeant: *stammering* "Uh.. yes. yes sir, it will be done."
20170612_230531 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Trooper: "Did he really just ask us to do that?"
IM Sergeant: "Whatever they found today, must have been worth risking war over..Better be"
IM Trooper: "That's an understatement..."
20170612_230653 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe troops assemble outside the factory
IM Sergeant: "Men!. the inspector has called on us to assist him in the gravest of missions, one that could cost us our lives and lead the Empire into a war. But that does not absolve us of our duty, our commander has discovered items of great danger that he must remove from this planet by any means necessary!... Our orders are to reach him.. inside the Galacian army base.. The only way we have a chance at this is if some stay behind to draw their forces out of the base. We have no heavy weapons so we have to keep them occupied, but not so much that they start sending armor and artillery after us. Henrik, Daniel, you two will do this, the rest will follow me into the woods where we were try to force ourselves into the base, preferably not through the front gate... That is all
IM Soldiers: "For the empire!"
20170612_231210 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrShortly after, the distraction team emerges at the edge of the woods into an empty field, with Galacian troops patrolling the outskirts of the base, debris from the earlier cultist attack still scattered
20170612_231557 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Sergeant: *via communicator* "Commence the operation!"
IM Soldier: "here goes.."
The IM troops fire wildly out of the bushes and tall grass. frequentley changing position giving the impression that there are more than they are.
20170612_231626 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrA GR soldier gets hit by the shatter fire and the others scatter from the fire
GR Soldier: "Ugh!"
GR Soldier 2: "Incoming!"
20170612_231830 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe GR troops regroup and start firing into the woods
GR Soldier: "Contact at hardpoint sundown, all units advance for contact and engage!"
20170612_231922 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrDuring all the gunfire, the rest of the team move out on their mission
20170612_232120 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrSNAP
While advancing toward the base, out of nowhere a pulse blast rips through a trooper
IM Sergeant: "Sniper!"
20170612_232225 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThey all rush towards the road, doing their best to avoid the sniper fire
20170612_232504 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrReaching some basic cover, they quickly stagger themselves and scan for the sniper
20170612_232541 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Trooper: "We don't have time to hunt him down... just fire into the treeline!"
The troops start firing their shatterguns into everything that could possibly be hiding someone
20170612_232726 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrAfter a few bursts, the sniper gets blasted in the chest and dies ungracefully next to a digger bucket
GR Sniper: "AAAAH!"
20170612_233017 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrMeanwhile on the other side of the mountains, the Distraction team is holding their own, having killed several already.
20170612_233040 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Trooper: "Hey, this isn't so bad afterall, so much for the suicide mission"
20170612_233129 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Trooper 2: "Wait... didn't he say not to attract too much attention?"
IM Trooper: "Uh..."
20170612_233445 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrHaving aggro'd the GR too much, the distraction team are gunned down by recon commandos flanking them in the forest
IM Trooper: "OHHHHH, NO!"
20170612_233603 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrBack at the wall...
IM Sergeant: "I thought you said you knew how to drive this thing? You just set off every perimeter alarm in the base!"
IM Trooper: "I didnt say that at all!, you just told me to put it through the wall"
IM Sergeant: "With a little finesse maybe!"
IM Trooper 2: "Sergeant, the others.. the gunfire stopped,"
IM Sergeant: "You know what happened..."
IM Trooper: "Blaze of glory!"
20170612_233853 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrInside the walls, the remnants of the team rush toward's Remus' position, fighting defenders along the way
20170612_234009 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThey turn the corner to a surprised Remus
IM Sergeant: "Here! we found him!"
Remus: "Finally!. Wait, you're all that's left? Where are the others?"
IM Sergeant: "Some of the men are covering our flank"
IM Trooper: "You heard that thunderstorm of gunfire? Some of us had to stay behind, how else did you think we were going to slip into the base with no heavy ordinance?"
20170612_234057 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrRemus takes the crystal out of the trooper's shattergun
Remus: "There's no time, I don't have a staff so this will have to do, these artifacts have to be sent to containment immediately!"
20170612_234142 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrHe places the crystal onto the artifakts and ties them together, giving them a jolt of magik, the items poof into thin air. and are teleported off the planet into a nearby starship to be sent to secure containment
Remus: "That's it!. it's done!. There's another one out there, but this is the most we could accomplish with our backs against the wall, it's time for us to get out of here
20170612_234256 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe troop guarding their flank, is gunned down, and Galacian troops advance.
Galacian Lieutenant: "Fan out, and find the rest of them!"
20170612_234334 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrIM Sergeant: "They're coming!"
20170612_234433 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Galacian troops advance down the path, and come up behind the Magikstrate force, guns drawn
Galacian Squad Leader: "Don't fukken move!"
Galacian Lieutenant: "Ah this must be the little cyka that has been scampering around our base... I'll get promoted for your heads..
20170612_234503 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrOutgunned and mostly unarmed, the IM troops go to surrender
20170612_234531 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrSeizing an opportunity, Remus blasts a magik missile into the shatter crystal, causing it to explode and melt everything in it's path
20170612_234655 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrBOOM
20170612_234804 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThey make a mad dash for the exit
Remus: "Come!, we don't have the time or the weapons to fight our way out!"
20170612_234905 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThey reach the gate and open it
20170612_234916 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe door grinds and rumbles as it slides open
IM Trooper: "Can't believe it's over I..."
20170612_235043 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrPOOOM
IM Trooper: "EYYAAHH!"
As soon as the door opens, one of the troopers is blasted with some kind of energy explosion and flies backwards, killing him
20170612_235543 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr*the sounds of several clicks and beeps as a group of elite Galacian troops train their weapons on the Inspector's team*
Waiting outside are several very dangerous looking warriors, with big guns, hulking power armor, and some who appear to be using some kind of magik themselves. Backed up by heavy armor
20170612_235648 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrRemus: "Gentlemen, I think we're finished.."
20170612_235724 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe crowd seperates, a minifig in black armor and red cape approaches
20170612_235751 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
20170612_235812 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrBogatyr Lukash: "In the name of Supreme commander Shulga, you are under arrest.. Magikstrate!
20170613_000140 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrRemus: "We've done what we came to accomplish... This is a misunderstanding and we really meant no harm to you and yours, but what is done is done. Now You can either let us leave in peace. Or lead yourselves to ruin with war with the Magikstrate and it's formidable allies... do you really want to do this?"
Lukash: "Make no mistake, Mage. whether you leave here in shackles or in a bag... War is already a certainty, Your Tharcan puppet masters think us to be a pushover, that we'll roll over at the first sign of their arrival. They are gravely mistaken, and you are just another puppet who's been led to his own demise, But it doesn't have to be this way.. surrender, and you have my word that you will walk out alive, Your compatriots too..
Remus: "How noble, for someone making threats and boasts, talking about an assured war"
Lukash: "The die has already been cast, What's been done cannot be undone. Your nation is soon to become the unfortunate collateral damage of a greater conflict. Galacia had no quarrel with you.. until now... and all things considered.. well, you chose your side. And there's no backing down now.. So I say again, surrender yourselves to our custody. or die here now like the rest of those who followed you here.

IM Trooper: "AAAAHHH!!!!!"
One of the Panicked Magikstrate troops draws his blade and charges
20170613_000333 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Bogatyr quickly jolts to his left noticing the trooper drawing a blade
20170613_000402 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Magikstrate trooper swings at him...
20170613_000434 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickrswiftly dodged, and in one fell motion the Bogatyr pulls a sword of his own..
20170613_000512 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr.. And decapitates him
20170613_000526 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Sergeant draws his weapon and fires into the crowd in anguish
IM Sergeant: "NO!"
20170613_000644 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe shatter shards bounce and plink harmlessly off the hulking power armored troops in front
20170613_000835 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Sergeant is gunned down by the troops, and in a quick motion Remus blasts the sword from the Bogatyr's hands..
20170613_000913 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrAnd charges at him with a blade of his own..
BZZZZT...
20170613_001029 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrBogatyr Lukash pulls another weapon, a deadly OT Beamsaber.. and impales Remus in the abdomen
Remus: "Ugh... n. no.. not like this"
20170613_001121 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrLukash: "You'll live... you'll regret living after you've see the consequences of what your superiors sent you here to do today, from the inside of a Stalag cell that is, you don't get to bow out with a glorious death my friend..
Remus: "You're not ..my friend"
Lukash: "Hah, how observant"
20170613_001322 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrLukash: "Sergeant, take this one to the shuttle. Have the psioniks restrain him, no funny business. And get a channel open to central command ready for when I board."
GR Elite Shocktrooper: "Yes, Guardsman!"
20170613_001506 by Dic Jacobus, on FlickrThe Bogatyr, and his escorts walk off, dragging the gravely wounded Remus along with them. his ultimate fate uncertain, and in a few short hours, War is likeley
