Klaut has called a new recruit into a mission. The immortals had never denied that they had a dark side and today it was time for some more shady bussines. Fortunatly though this would be a secret mission. Johan was called into the fray once more on a very special undercover mission. As soon as he entered science overseer Klaut's office he would be greeted by the good ol' dwarves familiar gruff voice. "Welcome my friend. Ill be blunt and upfront with it and say that today i have more of a dirty mission fer ye so expect to be rewarded greatly for. Our old enemies, the remnants of the renegade elven empire have mastered teleportation technology. Of course we dont want them to have it but the real reason you're going after is because we want it for ourselves. This is technology that could symbolize our faction. Imagine the possibilities... Using missiles as anchors to board enemy ships, fast paced retreating. Even our spies will have an easier time infiltrating...So instead of taking it by force we'll be doing it under the guise of criminal activity unconnected to use and use the technology to ensure that no one expects us."

"We called in a favor of a former employee of ours. We'll be teaming you up with her." He hands johan a file on a certain Kat Kheylana. Those in touch with the bounty board in other teritories know her as a self proclaimed pirate best known for being a heister on banks and weapon depots to keep her crew funded. She is considered relentless, insane and dangerously skilled. Notably she doesnt have a bounty on her either, mostly because she often kills those placing bounties on her or she turns herself in and then has her crew bust her out. "You'll find her here" He opened up a holo map with a way point marking Kat's location. The waypoint led to a shady planet popular among pirates. It was truly a home to the scum of the galaxy, it figures Kat could be found here. "She'll explain you the plan for the heist itself. We didnt plan any of that, increased data traffic could lead to suspicion. Good luck out there, even if no one know we're all counting on ye"

Suddenly, she stood right next to Johan. On the file she was wearing her heisting mask wich was a kind of creepy clown mask. Right now it was revealed she was actually a fairly pretty face with very distinct almost lit up, seemingly mechanized eyes. She sat down next to Johan saying nothing at first. She was wearing a brown jacket and pants with a bandana over her head leaving only the hair in her neck, sides of her head and the hair in front of her face revealed. She was carrying a large white sniper rifle on her back that was almost bigger than the girl herself. Suddenly she leaned in closer to Johan and whispered something to him. "Johan Zyl? Im the one you're looking for. Follow me but do it 5 minutes after i leave. Also, dont forget to close the door behind me." After the last word was said she left the chair and took her drink to a subsection of the bar labeled "mischief planning" she left the door open to let Johan see where she was. The hallway was soundproof and empty as well allowing Johan to follow Kat unnoticed if he closed the door.

Inside the room there was a table with a map, Kat and a few other buff, muscled men, presumably her crew as they were all wearing their masks lifted up over their foreheads. All of the crew except Kat herself were dressed in suit and ties, making them give off more of a maffia/organized criminal vibe instead of just drunken, stealing scalleywags. There were opened closets on the left side of the room with bags in it and armor hanging on the hooks. "Hello, glad you could make it..."

Johan heard her whisper and played along,he was used to these cloak and dagger operations and knew their little tricks,he waited for 5 minutes taking his time to enjoy his drink before he stood and followed to where Kat went making sure to close the open door behind him.

Johan turned to meet Kat's crew,an group of muscled men dressed in suits and ties like the old crappy mafia movies Johan used to watch back home,they were well equipped and seemed professional to your average pirate crew.

"Yes hello....I see you are quite prepared for this operation.I must say I am impressed but what is with the clown masks."

The crew chuckled quietly. It was about obvious they werent your regular pirates and possibly Kat's favorite crew members. They didnt even smell or look like pirates but like hardened career criminals. Did Kat have a syndicate? who knows. "well, considering some of my heisting members own some real estate and that im in a database and can possibly get tracked we're trying to conceal our identity. We picked clown masks for no particular reason. The black market discounted them and we were litterally looking for the cheapest heisting masks. Because one of my crew members got arrested when his carnival mask fell off."

She leaned over the table and tapped on the map to reveal the plan. The map showed 4 large buildings. This was a high class society neighboorhood. The map showed a police station, a bank, a gunshop and tucked away behind these 3 buildings was a science lab. The buildings were connected and all guarded heavily as shown on the blueprint, so much that the front doors would be impossible to use once force was necesary. "Gentlemen? This might very well be our most elaborate heist yet. You see, if we attack the science lab first that may arise suspicion, especially when our noble faction suddenly "designed" teleportation tech days after the heist. So we fake this attack as a bank heist. Coincidentally my former crew member is still in that exact police station, so we will pick him up there. And here is how it goes: we will sneak into the bank from behind and lock it down, then blow two big holes in either sides, one to the police station and the other into the gunshop so we can go get our man back and get him some equipment to use. It'll be getting hot but they should only be able to enter from but those holes wich is not impossible to defend."

She pointed her finger at the location of the vault wich unsurprisingly was all the way at the end of the bank, they would be getting in through the sewers into the staff room of the bank and stay hidden until the bomb has been set. "After we set the charges, we will go set up the thermal drill that my crewmember has gotten through jail affiliations. We set that up and open the vault. Once in the vault, the focus isnt the money, eheheh but we sure will be taking it along. Anyway, once in the vault we'll call in an air package in the back alleyway of the bank that drops a digging drill and more explosives. They will assume we have escaped using the drill but we're actually heading for the lab. From there we go stealth mode again and steal the blueprints and kill the scientists. The lab will be the least likely place they'll search for it so that's where our pickup comes too. From there we go out, shake off the law that will undoubtedly notice the money and come after us. We'll take the escape vehicle back here and trade it for my personal ship, the seagull. Any questions?"

Kat nodded at her crew who removed their masks and went over to their lockers and stuffed their weapons, masks and armor in the bags before heading out. Kat too stored her comically oversized sniper rifle in a bag of her own, right now she just looked like a woman from the lower castes wich would certainly be a good disguise. She gave johan a mask too. This one was a little different from the rest as it didnt have much of a clown pattern but rather a solid red underside and a solid white upperside with pitchblack eyes and a big grin. On top of that Kat gave him a heisting rifle, wich looked much like an assault rifle only it had multiple barrels and a weird cupsized clip, surely they had more ammo in the vehicle though.

The crew went outside and while walking through the bar everyone looked at Kat, they all knew her and what she would do and knew that she would make an apearance in the news again soon as usual. The escape vehicle was spacious and had capacity for an amount of guns, once everyone was in there the ship took off to the designated planet. The trip took a while and the crew started chatting with eachother while Kat applied some accesories to herself, it seemed tha despite being an infamous heister she was quite vain. Suddenly the crew turned to Johan with their chatter and despite looking like maffia enforcers they were nice to eachother, the one who spoke to johan was a human from earth of japanese descendance as evidenced by his accent. "You. Is this your first heist?....What's your name? for heist we must trust eachother as we will be depending on eachother when the cops come." After a 30 minutes something the ship finally landed, Kat went ahead to do some casing. Until she was back the crew would have to wait a bit.

Johan followed Kat and her crew through the bar,he noticed that the entire bar had their eyes on her...Her infamy seemed to be rooted here,the group moved towards an ship which the group then entered and began to take seats in an spacious area.

Johan was an bit nervous mostly because of how tight-knit this group seemed,he did as little talking as possible and looked at the Asian man that soon addressed him.He asked if this was his first heist and what his name is mostly to build trust among the group.

Johan smiled and tipped his hat. "Johan Zyl" He extended his hand to shake the other members of the crew. "And this is my first professional heist I believe."

It seemed that most of Kat's crew were humans from big criminal organizations from earth. The japanese man was obviously yakuza, there was a russian man next to him that was most likely a russian mobster, There was another man right next to Johan who spoke with a more italian accent and he was obviously a maffia enforcer. There was a german man too who was undoubtedly an enforcer from a biker gang and last there was an african american man who thanks to the tattoos on his neck could be identified as a street gang member. "Ah, the first one is always the most memorable one...My first one was on earth in big bank in america." The crew chattered a bit more about their former heists it was notable that they all had a big piece of equipment along. The yakuza had a tripod machine gun, the german had a grenade launcher, Kat had her comically oversized sniper rifle, the african american man had a minigun, The italian man had a rocket launcher and the russian carried a light machine gun with an extended clip.

Soon the ship got closer to the planet and five minutes on forehand Kat drew the attention of the crew again. "So you know the jest of the heist. But in detail, we will have 3 airdrops. One will drop the drill to open the main vault and one drop contains extra bags for us to stuff the loot in, the other one will contain the digging device to get into the lab. The regular thermal drill is in the cell of our arrested guy so right after getting the civilians out and starting the storm we go into the station to set him free, retrieve the bag and equip him with weapons from the store next to the bank, that will have to happen before the heavy responders arrive or he wont last a minute. We're taking extra armor for him.




In the middle of her dialogue the ship landed but the doorsremained shut until she was done talking. "The thermal drill will get us access to the civilian vault where already big amounts of cash are stored, im sure 16 big sport bags are enough to contain all the loot in the civilian vault. After getting in there we'll need to dig in again, but 2 of us will have to go out to retrieve the heavy drill, the digger and the extra lootbags. The airdrop will give us around 30 of them wich should be enough to get everything in the main vault. We'll have to hold out until the digger reaches the lab and goes deep enough, if we blow up the tunnel to close to the surface it will leave behind a trail that will lead them to us." 

She pulled a map out of her jacket and opened it and kneeled onto the ground. The map revealed all the camera lines of sight. She put her finger in a dead angle of the cameras. "This is where we will emerge. There is a fire exit nearby, if we exploit the fact the cameras move we can get there unseen. There is a short corridor connected with a single camera here. But the camera security guard is here. So i will pick the lock, enter when the camera is looking the other way and shoot it. Considering that he will lose signal to the camera and he sees it's the camera nearby he will go there and check it out. There we kill him quietly and use a voice changer to sound like him and answer the pager every once in a while. Of course with him grunting the pager guy will notice and will ask what the matter is, unfortunatly the voice changer takes a couple of seconds so i wrote a script for a volunteer to use in combination with the voice changer. The voice changer stings a little when it's ready to work. With him down we can pretty much go through if two people stay in the camera room to warn us about other guards. Then we bag the tech, free their test subjects and just walk out."


She handed the bags with armor and masks out to her crew and they hung it around their neck after storing their weapons in it. "So, Johan. Let me introduce you to my crew in codename. I am Eagle, i will provide sniper support and recon. That is Condor, he does the heavy lifting, he has fought in a gang war on earth until the authorities rolled his crew up. That is Frost king, he does the healing and keeps you away from the light, he used to be in a syndicate in his homecountry on earth but he was mistaken for a traitor and had to flee. That is Raven, he'll provide you with ammo so come see him when you can to keep your gun fed, he used to be in another syndicate in the biggest country on earth but didnt find the payrate too exciting and eventually came across me. Over there is Buzzard, he blows both the enemy and structures that stand in our way up, he used to be in a biker gang but soon left when he got a ticket off the planet. And last but not least you have Hawk, who's main job is to deal area damage and deal with the moore armored responders who we will be coming across. And your codename shall be vulture, considering this is your first heist you should just be carefull and stick to cover to conserve your armor."

After the codenames were divided the ship doors opened. The crew now dressed in fancy three piece suits shared rubber gloves and awaited Kat's return from scouting ahead. She stayed gone for about 10 minutes and upon returning she beckoned the crew to follow her to an alleyway.

Johan nodded fastened the bag over his torso and loaded his weapon before hiding it in the bag.

He waited doing small chatter with the other heisters before he saw Kat and alongside the rest followed her.

They went through an alleyway that was dark and dank just like most urban alleyways,there where urine stains littering the corners.The smell of trash fumed from the overfilled containers.

"Urgh" Johan thought.

Kat opened a sewer entrance and attached some thermal paste to one of the bars in their way to get under the bank. Once there she climbed up and looked around and then went back to put her mask on. "Time to get that new expansion to my house, gentlemen." After putting her mask on, the rest of the crew started putting on their armor and masks as well as drawing their weapons. She sneaked into the back entrance of the bank. The first few civilians were led to the staff room where the coffee drinking guards were at too. They were all tied down and left under the protection of hawk. Kat went ahead and fired her gun up in the air of the bank while the others followed her.

"Vulture, i think i gave you the bag with explosive charges on accident, get over here quickly we need to blow up these walls and get the future codenamed sparrow. Give buzzard five charges and give me the other five. Buzzard! you go destroy the wall between the bank and the gunshop. And keep civilians away from the blast range." During all this, the cops from next door began to respond and they soon noticed that bombs were being set additionally slightly heavier responders arrived who also opened fire at the crew.

Johan checked kept watch and would then run towards Kat to hand her five charges while sprinting towards buzzard to give him the other five,the moment buzzard left for his objective the police responders began to open fire upon the crew,this took Johan by surprise at first given the police would go guns blazing despite them having hostages.

Johan would shoot suppressive bursts back at the responders,he did not want to have to kill the cops but given how quickly they charged in with little regard for the safety of the civilians Johan decided "screw this". He then began to fire short controlled bursts at the heads of the police forces using his skills as an former marksman to great effect.

"We got another squad coming in!" He would yell as an truck filled with armed responders appeared outside the bank.

"Vulture, take cover!" She yelled from behind the bank counter as the charges blew up the walls on the side. Kat then beckoned the crew to follow her into the police office. Of course it was crawling with police so it would take a while for them to get through this. Condor meanwhile layed down prolonged suppressive fire at the officers outside as the heavier responders come through. Kat made her way to the cell and began picking the lock while her accomplice went under his bed and grabbed the thermal drill. "Cover me while i get this lock!" She said as she began picking the lock. It took her a while and the heavy responders arrived and entered the office. They immediatly began shooting at the crew specifically at condor who's heavy armor was soaking up all the damage but it obviously had a limit. Much longer without covering fire and he could succumb to the damage.

Johan rolled into cover reloading his weapon and adjusting the scope and calibration.

He saw Condor taking hits and quickly began to draw the fire from the police using accurate bursts.

"Get in cover Condor!"

Things were looking bad as the police pressed further on....

Soon Kat got the lock open and the captured crew member. "Guys, this is Sparrow, the only crew member not from earth. Now lets get him his weapons!" The crew mobilized while Condor's suppressing fire forced the cops to retreat. "We dont have alot of time left, Condor, Frost king, Raven and Vulture! you go keep the civilians safe. It's unlikely they're already free. Me, Hawk, Sparrow and Buzzard will go to get Sparrow his equipment. GO NOW!" The crew rushed out into the bank under the covering fire of Kat and Condor who picked off any cops that actually made themselves visible to shoot at the crew. The crew passed through the bank and split up but there were police teams with the civilians who were oddly keeping certain races tied to the last while their own races instantly, it seemed as if there was still prejudice within the police force itself.

Kat stayed gone for a while but had given the crew the bag with the thermal drill. "Vulture, we must move the civilians and the drill to the vault!"

Johan kept firing making sure the police gain as little ground as possible...He heard someone calling him to move the civilians and drill to the Vault.

Firing bursts into the lobby Johan did just that he was able to move some of the civilians towards the vault while he helped set up the drill.

Most of the civvies followed pretty well and despite having civilians right beside them, the police still agressively opened fire at the heisters. Though fortunatle Condor absorbed most of the damage and civilians that did get hit by the cops were helped by frost king. Fortunatly he had plenty to work with and as soon as the drill was set, he deployed his tripod machine gun at the vault and began mowing down law enforcers that came up the stairs. It was also now that the police assault has officially begun as they were swarming the bank. Heavier responders now arrived but Kat and the rest of the crew were still in the gunshop. After a while a radio call came in from hawk. "Eagle and Sparrow are wounded! Bring Condor and Frost king in here! We need more time to get Sparrow ready for the fight."

Frost king and condor nodded at eachother and looked at Raven and Johan before they rushed out. "You two! Be safe and stick to Cover, we'll be right back with the others."

Johan realized that things where going south.....He would conserve his shots to targets he was sure he could kill with one shot.

Ammo was running low,he forgot to pack spare magazines from the armory....An bullet passed into the left cheek of Johan's mask,while it did not pierce through to his flesh the force was enough to knock him to the ground.

Shaken he remained there for an few seconds before shaking his head,picking up his weapon and firing once again on the police forces.

"Come on.....Guys." He would think to himself.....Who the hell had the idea to build an bank next to an police station.

After a while, Condor and frost king returned. Hawk and Buzzard seemed fine but Sparrow was limping. Kat herself wasnt even walking. Condor had her over his shoulder as he held her assault rifle in one hand to return fire to the cops. He put Kat on the ground and placed her assault rifle next to her and then rushed to the large tripod machine gun that Frost king set up. It was getting heavy as the law agressively opened fire despite all the civilians kept closeby. Frost king was behind cover with Kat tending to her wound while the others were holding off the law. Juggernauts were shredded by the high power rocket launcher Hawk used and Buzzards grenade launcher deald massive area of effect damage to squadrons of officers that attempted to storm the vault. 

Eventually though, a stray bullet hit the thermal drill and damaged it. It wasn drilling anymore and instead it was just making an irritating, loud noise wich was the chain slapping against the metal frame of the drill. "Vulture, Eagle usually takes care of the drill and i cant do it, im busy keeping her alive. You take care of the drill. I just need a little while longer with her and she'll be right as rain again!" Meanwhile, things werent getting any easier. It seemed as if the real heavy enforcers have arrived now, miniguns, sniper rifles and assault rifles were the only weaponry that the cops carried into the bank now.

Johan immediately rushed to the drill rolling to it's side,he looked at the drill making sure to re-calibrate drill then restarted the process.He was about to pick up his weapon to fire on the police when the drill jammed again.....Johan quickly restarted it again only to repeat this process several times.

"This bloody drill!" He would scream as he bashed the drill with his fist causing it to work once again.
