Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naku waited for the arrival of the Padawans and the Sargent. He would begin the debriefing once they all had arrived, to ensure that only them, and Darth Malice, would know of what they were about to do. It would be too dangerous for him to transmit the details to them, even on encrypted channels, for anyone could pick it up and given time, decrypt the message. Better to keep it short and sweet, so as to not have any leaks.
His reason for bringing Hoshi on this mission was simple, her home planet would be visited, there for, her knowledge of the planet would be useful. Riza and Sion seem able and willing Padawans, so he would bring them along to test their resolve not only in combat, but in what they are willing to do. Sargent Rocka was chosen out of high regards from Zeke, so Rocka's weapons expertise would come in handy if things were to go awry. This would be a good test for the Padawans and for the clone trooper. Although this is an important mission, it would also serve as a test for his team, more so for the padawans then for the trooper, but better to have two skilled fighters then one.

Rocka came in as he adjusted his shoulder plate, he wasn't armed since Zeke told him that he was going to be armed in the armory with real weapons so he didn't bring any weapons. His armor was still the same: a green stripe going down from his shoulder to his two middle fingers on both arms. Then he also had another green stripe going down the middle of his helmet, Rocka walked around as he came at Kurosaki and came at attention and saluted at him ."Sir Sargent Rocka reporting for duty."

Sion enters the room and bows to Master Kurosaki. He glances around at the others in the room and nods to himself, "Alright. This should work out just fine." Riza and Hoshi both he respected as strong warriors, and while Sergent Rocka annoyed him, he respected his ability as a soldier.

Malice found Kurosaki through the force...and establishing a connection with him, spoke quietly in his mind. 'Glad to see Things are finally under way. Good luck, and may the Force be your constant ally my old apprentice.' It had not been long since Kurosaki had called him master. It was Malice who had taught him many of the darker aspects of the force. He had also worked long to make him the swordsman he was today. It was good to know that his role as such for Kurosaki had ended, and that he now had his own Padawans to take under his wing. This would be an interesting mission indeed, Malice was sure of it.

Naku smiled as his padawans entered one by one. He nodded to them all as they addressed him. The smile, he noticed from Hoshi was comforting that she was ready. He returned her smile and just as quickly turned his eyes to the others. It was time to give the debriefing. The encouragement from Malice was somewhat of a surprise to him, yet it was fine for him. In their line of work, you always have to be ready for a surprise.

"Welcome. everyone. It's good to see you all ready. For this mission, we will head out to Tatooine. I am fully aware that Hoshi has returned from a mission on Tatooine, but our contacts say that they have uncovered something that if the Sith were to get their hands on it, it could mean a sudden shift in the war against the Republic. We will go to the dig site and ascertain what it is and recover it. However, if it is deemed necessary, we will destroy it." Naku Explained. He looked at all of his padawans faces, watching for any doubt to come into their minds as they contemplate the mission. "As of now, the discovery hasn't reached both sides, as far as we know, we are the first to hear of this. However, reaching the site would take some time. We will come prepared for a battle. I want to be leave that we would not have to worry about any combat, but it is better to be ready for one then to be caught up in one. Riza, Sion. Be sure that you are ready, and steady your minds. I hear you are promising duelist, so i expect you two to stay sharp. Don't get lost in the fight, if there is one to have. Hoshi, you know Tatooine. Your experience and knowledge of the land would be useful, as well as your force abilities. Rocka, your demolitions expertise and your combat experience would play a key role if things were to go awry. However, we would have to blend in, so you will have to lose the armor. You would stand out." Naku spoke to each member, providing encouragement and giving some advise. "Any questions?"

Hoshi had not worked with Riza and Scion but she had watched them a bit. "What cities are closest to the site so I can narrow down the list of local gangs and groups we may get to deal with?" She asked since she had been taught by a few different groups tricks and did not want to have to face one of her old teachers if she did not have to.

"Alright then" Rocka really hated close combat, he knew how to fight well in close combat but it wasn't his thing to do. Rocka then folded his arms as he asked another question. "Alright I got the weapon and fighting part down armor wise I need to have a stronger armor than you guys if I want to blend in do you have any suggestions General? Also I'll be driving the speeder don't want to get these Padawan's hands dirty right?" Rocka said as he mocked the Padawans a little.

"heh thats Sergeant to you Padawans, only some can call me Rocka like the General, and also Hoshi but I need to see how good Hoshi is like Commander Zeke told me about."
Rocka then looked at Hoshi eyeing her down watching her from top to down, "To me she doesn't look like anything my commander told me about."
