Given as they're forced to send you guys in on such short notice, much of this mission will rely on you guys using your own judgment to find the best way to do things (which is why they're sending in veteran agents who have proven to be very successful in the past). This is going to be challenging, since you don't have a great deal of information on the situation.

So it begins
|
Conference Room 11
MI5 Headquarters
Coruscant
0907 Standard Coruscant Time
4 days before departure
The numbers on the chronometer flashed as another minute rolled by.
"Late..." muttered M. The meeting was scheduled to start at 0900, but it appeared that some of the agents had found themselves somehow delayed. It was going to be a long day, and the head of MI5 wasn't about to let it get any longer on their account.
The gray-haired human turned to face the present agents.
"Good morning Agents, let's get started. Not much has changed in the past forty hours, our reports are as vague as ever. A few covert calls to the Starlight Cruise Line have revealed that the company is playing coy with the press in an effort to enhance the mystique of the cruise. So far, it seems to be working; the rampant rumors are making it difficult to find any concrete information and seem to be incensing the public imagination. Tonight's auction for the last batch of tickets will almost certainly fetch record prices.
As you all know, the haze surrounding this event means we're effectively sending you in blind on what could amount to a futile and pointless mission. But with so much at stake, we can't afford to allow any sort of failure. Since we want the best, we're sending the best, and since we want the best results, you'll be left to your own initiative. Use whatever works best for you, whatever means and methods you have available to ensure the best outcome."
M swept a steady gaze from agent to agent.
"I shouldn't have to tell you this, but remember that we are not sending you in there to make enemies. You are elite agents, not common thugs- don't ever forget that."
M glanced back at the chronometer, then at the agents.
"Unfortunately agents, I have an appointment to keep with a Senate Committee regarding the state of our finances. I trust that you'll make the most effective use of this time to plan ahead for this mission. If you need anything, Ms. Mny'Karedito-"
A female humanoid looked up from her portable workstation, waving her hand briefly.
"-will likely be able to assist you. Good luck."
M turned and walked out the door.
OOGM: Well ladies and gentlemen, this is where we start out. Those of you who have already been approved are free to start your characters off in this room. I imagine most of you have at least heard of each other, but this organization does have members all over the Republic, so make of that what you will. There will be a few more agents showing up fairly soon as I approve them, these would be the late agents M referred to (though if you would like your character to be late, I'm not about to stop you). Right now, your primary objective is to figure out what you have to work with and how you're going to get aboard the Empress of the Stars. It's all up to you, but I really recommend you work together on this one.
Also, I recommend (but will not make) you send me some sort of instant message contact information. I use MSN messenger and g-talk, though I can fire up some other systems if things absolutely call for it. IM is a useful way to get quick information, confirmation or affirmation while making a post if you don't want to wait for PM or post tennis.

IC: Boz
Conference Room 11
MI5 Headquarters
Boz looked round the room at his fellow agents. The Zeltron was in an intresting choice of profession, from what Boz knew of their species. 'But appearences can be deceptive' he thought wryly to himself. After all, creating deception with his appearence was why he was here. Some of the agents here had been with the organisation a long time. Boz reminded himself that he would have to maintain a professional composure. He cleared his throat to speak.
"I believe protocol dictates we organise the best possible way for agents to get on board as discreetly as possible. After all, our aim is to maintain secuirity on the cruiser and protection for those on board. Posing as pasengers would be the obvious choice, but that may be problematic in some areas."
He paused. As a new agent he was unsure whether speaking out straight away was allowed.

Stent Kannat
Conference Room 11, MI5 HQ
The Zeltron subconsciously brushed his stylish blue business tunic and ran a hand through his neatly combed hair - spending all those years in the diplomatic corps, where presentation was just as important as substance, would do that to anyone - but payed attention to the Lorrdian all the while. Hah, Stent thought to himself, if he could pay attention to those tricky humans... Boz'rir Girange was his name, Stent believed, from hearing him being mentioned as someone that did work not too dissimilar from his on working "with" people.
"I believe Mr. Girange has brought up an excellent starting point," he spoke to the assembled group in a clear voice while making eye contact with the other agents in the room. "With our given skill sets, some of us posing as passengers would be an wise choice, and perhaps having others appear on board as members of the crew would be more appropriate especially for those that are more technically gifted: They can do more damage that way." A sly smile escaped from his face with the last words.
"What does everyone else think of this," he asked the group as he rested his hands in his lap. "And for curiosity's sake; Ms. Mny'Karedito?" He glanced at the female. "Would you have any information pertaining to how many agents MI5 can get on board the Empress of the Stars as legitimate passengers - that is, will MI5 be able to obtain any tickets and what that quantity would be? Also, is it known if Starlight Cruise Line is still hiring crew members to serve aboard the Empress of the Stars? I know it is fairly late in the game for that, but it still may be worth a shot."

IC: Halon, MI5 HQ, Coruscant
A small electric jolt ran down Halon of Clan Turak’s spine as the steely-eyed gaze of the man known as M passed over him during his final sweep of the conference hall. The Ubese agent had been present for many of the spychief’s briefings in the three short years since first joining MI5 and the senior human's innate ability to quietly command the room never ceased to impress him. Unfortunately however, this particular briefing had ended up providing him with little more useful intelligence than the transmission that had summoned him here had.
Even so, Halon was more than pleased to be here. His last mission with the Service had been several months ago (far too long a time for his liking) and he found himself growing restless waiting for the next assignment. And besides, anything was preferable to all the wedding preparation hysteria currently awaiting him back home.
Slipping his datapad into one of the pouches sewn into his armor, Halon rose from his seat, intent on talking to the woman M had indicated before departing. But some of the agents he gathered were rookies were already addressing the assemblage. He halted where he stood, following the Zelton agent’s proposal for getting them all aboard the Empress.
He certainly didn't warm to the idea of coming on as a crew member; it would mean too many constraints on his time and of his movement, not to mention the dramatic loss of anonymity that always came from wearing a uniform.

Approved: (and posting Bojangles' sheet/entry for him)
Name: Ruana Trebond
Age: 25
Species:Human
Gender: Female
Profession: Heir to House Trebond, Shadowcat's Claw, mother.
Appearance: Short, slender, long red hair, pale skin, green eyes. Has discarded for the most part her old styles, and now tends to wear somewhat formfitting black pants, and a flowing shirt, usually green.
Bio:Born the heir to one of the richest merchant houses on Coruscant, Ruana ran away following Chadrian Thorn when she was fifteen. She learned how to use the Force, and returned home, leaving often on missions for Chadrian, also called Shadowcat. She joined MI5, serving on a number of missions, meeting her husband, Joss Vendu. The pair now have a child, two-year-old Alisa Trebond-Vendu.
Anything else: Ruana usually carries a blaster on her belt, but often has a lightsaber on clips concealed in one sleeve. For discretion's sake, she does not always go openly armed anymore.
Skills: Ruana is talented in both armed and unarmed combat. Being of less than imposing build, however, she often relies on deception, stealth and persuasion instead. Agile, both verbally and physically. Generally fairly knowledgeable, can pilot a ship, and has been practising her cooking: can now follow a non-complicated recipe without burning the end result. She speaks a certain amount of the more common languages, like Zabraki and Huttese, understands more than she speaks, and has a deplorable aptitude for the obscenities of numerous languages.
Name: Joss Vendu
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Profession: Commando/Infiltrator
Age: 23
Appearance: Dark Hair, Tanned, Muscular, Handsome
Short Bio: ex-Military now full time MI5 Agent Joss Vendu is a mildly Force Sensitive Operative and is married to Ruana Trebond, and father of young Alisa.
Anything else you'd like to add: Joined the military early, suffered some unfortunate traumas, but is almost entirely recovered from their lasting effects. Became a member of MI5, proving successful in a number of missions.
Skills: Vendu's skills lie for the most part in the areas of athletics, piloting, deception and disguise, in addition to his definite skills in combat. He's also not bad at cooking, which is just as well given his wife's lack of aptitude in that area.
IC: Ruana Trebond
Ruana and Joss arrived late, looking somewhat apologetic as they caught the last of the announcements. Their lateness had not been their own idea; rather, little Alisa had picked that moment to protest about being sent to visit her grandmother's family in the Senex sector. With the abruptness common in small children, something that had been no problem the night before became the grounds for a serious upset in the morning, just as she'd been about to get on the ship.
They had calmed her down and convinced her to go, but it had taken somewhat longer than planned for. It had been Ruana's wish that her daughter stay with family, somewhere nice and safe while a mission was in the works.
Now, though, it was time to consider the mission. Another agent had a suggestion.
"I believe protocol dictates we organise the best possible way for agents to get on board as discreetly as possible. After all, our aim is to maintain secuirity on the cruiser and protection for those on board. Posing as pasengers would be the obvious choice, but that may be problematic in some areas."
"Good point," Ruana noted. "Roles as passengers would probably be the ideal way to get on there. I'm guessing the security is extremely tight, so sneaking on isn't likely to be an option, or assuming a place serving."
With that idea, she turned away slightly, putting together a rapid message in her head. Moving to a quiet corner, she sent a discreet enquiry to a friend on her com, to see if anyone in their social circle had tickets they were prepared to exchange for any reason. The message would be passed around, until it found someone who might know. Luckily, Ruana had a very good excuse; a desire for relaxation away from her toddler. That at least would stop this from arousing suspicion.

MI5 HQ, Conference Room 11
Also, is it known if Starlight Cruise Line is still hiring crew members to serve aboard the Empress of the Stars? I know it is fairly late in the game for that, but it still may be worth a shot."
Markus lounged back in his seat, crossing his arms and looking disdainfully at the assemblage of rookies and lunatics that generally made up the ground crew for most MI5 missions. In the years since he had become an active MI5 member, he'd attended dozens of these meetings, gone on dozens of missions. They almost always ended badly.
"I can save you the trouble, mate." He spoke up. "D'you seriously think that there's any way a big, fancy cruise ship embarking on a multi-million credit venture is going to hire four random people just days before the launch?" There was a pause. "Here's a clue for you; they're not."
The hacker reached for the pocket where he once kept his cigarras, stopped, cursed softly and satisfied himself with drumming his finges on the handrest of his chair.
"Posing as passengers is our best bet." Markus continued. "That is, unless any of the rest of you have any bright ideas you'd care to air?"
