The holocom would beam to life, displaying the darkened visage of a pale humanoid. That of Sith Kelsa, who's near crimson gaze shimmered through, even on the display before him. With his hands clasped behind his back and his expression displaying the utter stoicness of his norm, he would proceed in speaking;

"Vandara Valley... A key location dedicated in the preservation of the old ways of the Sith. An ancient ground defiled by the would be usurpers within the sphere of Lord Vitriol's arsenal. It is here that we find knowledge of evidence to support the hindering mannerisms that is of Vitriol's infiltrators. Many forces here have been apprehended, but many remain hidden, seemingly having vanished within the grounds.
The goal of the Powerbase, and the task force that will be sent into this location is to work with the local forces uin apprehending or finding the insurgents, putting a swift end to their reign of terror. It is said by the valleys overseer, than mining accidents have peaked dramatically over the last week. With an approximate number of seven personel, two fire teams of three and one of four, with two droids unaccounted for.
Find them... Destroy them. In the name of the Dark Lord and her Powerbase."

The comm flickered once more, disabling itself and removing A'tul's gaze from the viewer. Instead, information trailed through regarding the operation at hand...

Rewards:

Attached to the file would be a prerecorded holomessage that when selected would play. Trakaton's form would blaze to life in the classic display of a holographic transmission, the electric blue tinge accenting some features while diminishing others. Trakaton would be stood with his arms folded across his armoured chest, the cloak hanging loosely from his shoulders and the custom-fit plates of the armour looking as comfortable as an embrace. The scar on the right side of his face would be barely visible, his head ever so slightly turned to the right and he'd speak with a tone of authority:

"To those who see this operation complete, you will be rewarded proportional to your position in the Sith Empire.
An Imperial Soldier, will receive access to a single blaster or Vibroblade upgrade category of their choice alongside receiving a stipend of credits to do with as they wish.

From: Apprentice Hâsk
To: Lord Kalkoran
CC: Excavating Treachery
Subject: Operation [Excavating Treachery] Report
--------------------
Lord Kalkoran,

Hereby I send you a small report of the operation issued by Sith Kelsa, on the behest of Sith Tarimra.


Participants: Sith Tarimra, Apprentice Hâsk, Apprentice Merikh, Apprentice Dutroso, Acolyte Faelice.

Synopsis: On arrival Sith Tarimra set off to conduct other business as the remaining party (led by Apprentice Dutrosu on Sith Tarimra's order) was met by Captain Saureus Valorm; IRS member and head of the operation.
We were informed of delays caused by accidents, ones which were with greater regularity than is the norm. After this Acolyte Faelice and myself were sent by Apprentice Dutrosu to examine the droids present on site. Before getting the chance to make contact the droids started to reveal from their arms sets of built-in blasters which were quickly used against us. Hearing the commotion the remaining two Apprentices came to our aid as in the meantime the personel on site evacuated. A few evacuees broke off from this procession; clad in IRS outfits, to join in the assault against us. During the assault I heard multiple charges go off in the Tomb behind me which caused it to collapse.

After we dispatched the assailants we met back up with Captain Valorm to inform him of what occured. Apprentice Dutrosu urged the Captain to examine the shipment orders of the droids while the Captain, on my behest, shall identify the deceased IRS assailants, pull up their files to seek for any connections and will then crossreference all the other employee files which have been filed in the last six months for suspicious similarities.

Deduction: The Vitriol Powerbase has been succesful in Infiltrating both the personnel aswell as the droid workforce. They are in possession and have access to explosives. Their numbers have been thinned down, yet it is not currently known if more remain.


I hope it is to your satisfaction,
Apprentice Hâsk
