=== Respite Shootout ===
−
It was a normal day at the Respite in the beginning of August when a shootout broke out outside. None of the participants in this conflict were inside the Respite, but one of them had taken cover and the building itself did take a few rounds.
+
It was a normal day at the Respite in the beginning of August when a shootout broke out outside. It inevitably ended up involving the Respite when [[Uvena Atana]], one involved in the shootout, sought refuge in the Respite's garage. [[Steve Briggs]] was handling security that day. Other off-duty [[Redrock Agency]] personnel were also present. The Respite sustained minimal damages, but Aylena got Uvena to pay for her release.
  
−
[[Steve Briggs]] was handling security that day, but the security cameras did not have good enough coverage for him to get a full overview of the situation. Other [[Redrock Agency]] personnel that were present but off-duty did know the numbers and they could see two of them fighting an unknown third that were still out of view.

−
Steve ordered everyone to get upstairs and out of sight, which most complied to, and so far nobody inside had been injured. One of the attackers – human woman – were hit, and retreated and took cover across the street. The other one, an asari, kept pressing on however. Their target – an asari – was then briefly seen on the other wall, but not reacted to until Aylena reports that she has broken into the garage.
 
−
 
 
−
Steve and Vaden hurry to the garage, but the asari is far too injured to work. The asari attacker wasn't far behind, but she was not hard to dissuade when her colleague was screaming at her to leave and the ten thousand they were offered for the job was not worth fighting two on one. That left their target, who was bleeding on the garage floor. She explained that she had stolen datapads from an asari investigator who was sitting on the intel and doing nothing about it, but their security systems on them caused most of the data to be lost.
 
−
 
 
−
The Respite sustained minimal damages, but Aylena demanded forty thousand credits from the injured asari for it which she was in no position to dispute.
 
−
 
 
−
She was then led out, but not before exchanging a few words with Steve about who she was here for and the possible connection to [[Rellis Darennon]]. The shooting had ceased and the Miner's Respite was starting to operate normally again. Steve advised her to go to [[Redrock Agency]] with what she knew, as they would be interested in this information.

=== Uvena Atana ===
−
[[Uvena Atana|Uvena]] went to Redrock HQ a few days after the incident at the [[Miner's Respite]], She did not call ahead, so her arrival was a surprise to [[Jason Wolfe]] and [[Linda Vasquez]] who were in the middle of a meeting about a medical expense at the time.  
+
[[Uvena]] went to [[Redrock HQ]] a few days after the incident at the [[Miner's Respite]], She did not call ahead, so her arrival was a surprise to [[Jason Wolfe]] and [[Linda Vasquez]] who were in the middle of a meeting about a medical expense at the time. She tried to hire [[Redrock Agency]] without revealing her identity and stake in this. Jason wasn't going to allow this, and she introduced herself as Uvena Atana, and that she was on Aite to help her [[Va'ynna|daughter]]. Uvena wanted Jason to keep this information from Va'ynna, but he refused despite Vasquez' insistence on not getting into a personal argument with a client.
  
−
She also tried to hire Redrock Agency without revealing her identity and stake in this, but she didn't keep the information to herself when it became clear that not disclosing it would have meant the job being dismissed. That's when Jason learned that Uvena were there to do right by her daughter, [[Va'ynna Atana]], by finding out why [[Siveya T'Vezan|T'Vezan]] was supposed to carry out her order on her life.
+
It took another few days before Vasquez could reach a decision and they agreed on a payment of 190,000 credits with the condition that Uvena will have to pay more should the intel not match up with reality.
  
−
Uvena stated many time how much it would be a disservice to Va'ynna to mention her being on the planet at all, but despite Vasquez' frustration he made it very clear that he was not to be dissuaded. Uvena was not happy about it, but it did not deter her from continuing the process to hire them for the job.

It took another few days before Vasquez could reach a decision and they agreed on a payment of 190,000 credits with the condition that Uvena will have to pay more should the intel not match reality. She then went on her way, but not without another argument with [[Jason Wolfe|Jason]] about her daughter, but Vasquez interfered as it was about to heat up.
 
  
 
=== Trip to Aroste ===
 
=== Trip to Aroste ===
Line 73: Line 64:
 
Redrock Agency set off on the mission not long after the last meeting with [[Uvena Atana|Uvena]]. They did not give much notice to their employees, but still had an adequate turnout. This was [[Damien Monroe|Damien]] and Calyx' first mission, and the shuttle thrip there was their first chance to introduce themselves to their colleagues.
 
Redrock Agency set off on the mission not long after the last meeting with [[Uvena Atana|Uvena]]. They did not give much notice to their employees, but still had an adequate turnout. This was [[Damien Monroe|Damien]] and Calyx' first mission, and the shuttle thrip there was their first chance to introduce themselves to their colleagues.
  
−
The banter between the crew eventually subsided, and the rest of the trip was uneventful until they entered [[Derrai]] airspace. The corporate town was quick to detect them on their scanners and contacted them for identification. Jason answered the call with a lie about a shuttle malfunction and requested permission to land nearby. They were granted that, but not without a fee of 5,000 credits.
+
The trip was uneventful until they entered [[Derrai]] airspace. They were given a landing site after paying the 5,000 credit landing fee, but it was nowhere near the mission site. Thus, they decided to take the shuttle underwater. Aroste's flight control did not fall for the same lie when they resurfaced, but [[Damien Monroe|Damien]] managed to disrupt the island's security systems, and they were able to reach the mission site without any altercations.
−
 
 
−
While Jason paid the fee — with some encouragement from Derrai's AA guns —, the landing spot offered was nowhere near the mission site on [[Aroste]]. They were leaning on the shuttle malfunction lie, and after a lot of worse ideas, they decided to take their chances diving the shuttle under water. They needed to make it look like an accident and only slow down in the last minute, and that's what they did.
 
−
 
 
−
The underwater trip to Aroste was surprisingly uneventful. Them being underwater prevented the AA guns and radars from noticing them, and they could not be contacted by the tower. Calyx kept his faith in the military hardware the sat in. Jason and Victoria did not share his faith, which did not ease the others' concerns.
 
−
 
 
−
The Aroste tower contacted them upon resurfacing, and said that they were tagged as potentially hostile. It wasn't what they needed right now, but this tower granted them permission to land without requesting a landing fee. They knew about the dive from Derrai, and they were not going to fall for the same lie.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Damien Monroe|Damien]] managed to disrupt their sensors, and they were able to reach the mission site without any altercations. Their AA gun were trying to aim at them, but they could not get a consistent lock.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Aroste - Outside ===
 
−
 
 
−
They manage to set down in a field very close to he mission site. It was farmed land, but the nearest houses were 600 meters away and there were nobodoy working the fields at this time. A forest gave them cover to approach the base without immediate detection. [[Jattic Kur'don|Jattic]] stayed behind to guard the shuttle.
 
−
 
 
−
The locations had no windows on the wall facing them, nor any sign it ever had. There were mechs patrolling outside, however, so it was not going to be that easy to get in. Renala tried shutting the mechs down, but they were only inactive for a few seconds, and this caught the interest of a guard that was patrolling another part of the location. He did not spot them right away.
 
−
 
 
−
This was the moment they were going to risk losing the element of surprise, and thus Jason assigned positions and orders to the other in case it did. Plan A was to disable the mechs fast and force the turian to surrender. That did not work out for them, and two mechs still stood from the chain overload, and the turian ran to cover while trying to supprress them. They managed to take out the turian, but not before he confirmed the attack over comms to his team. The last two mechs proved no challenge to the well armed team.
 
−
 
 
−
It was clear then, but the Redrock team was quick to split up to get around the building in search for entrances. [[Jason Wolfe|Jason]], [[Victoria Steels|Victoria]], [[Halisi]], [[Philip Lacour|Philip]] and [[Damien Monroe|Damien]] headed north, while [[Renala T'Iavay|Renala]], Calyx Vadris and [[Leah Mercier]] headed south.
 
−
 
 
−
The team rounded the building until they both reached a pair of doors; Jason's team on the eastern wall, the other on the southern wall. Since both team had a tech among them, they were both able to get past locked doors. Renala's team focused on one of the doors, while Victoria and Damien went off so their team could get in through both entrances.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Aroste - Inside ===
 
−
 
 
−
Renala's door lead to a long hallway spanning the entire length of the building – 40m. It appeared clear at first, but Calyx – who was taking point – was greeted by an incinireate drone and gunfire from an asari that had just poppet out of one of the doors along the hallway. Damien's door also lead into a hallway, but did not have a view of the asari mercenary.
 
−
 
 
−
Jason was the last to enter, and his door lead to a lobby with low tables and couches. A human in full armor greeted them there, and he aimed down. Damien and Victoria got to a doorway leading to the lobby and together they overwhelmed the one combatant and took her out of the fight with a severe burn wound. A turian popping out to open fire on Victoria drew their attention away, however.
 
−
 
 
−
Renala was locked out after the asari her team was fighting ordered someone named Teris to lock it, but the power being cut left her unable to bring it back open. That was also bad news for Leah and Calyx who were left without a known exit point. They were still fighting two on one, and they had their asari opponent on her back foot, and he was eventually subdued by Calyx forcefully disarming her.
 
−
 
 
−
Jason managed to get the woman they were fighting in the lobby to stand down and attempt convincing the others to do so as well. This Teris, however, was apparantly not convinced but she wasn't there. She told them Darennon's location, but also the fact that the door to it was unpowered and locked. [[Halisi]] then helped patch her up.
 
−
 
 
−
The turian who was in a standoff against Victoria and Damien was also not convinced. He said that Darennon agreed with the surrender, but that Teris had the final say while she was here. The resistance remained spread out as the team continued searching the rest of the floor. Two mechs in the conforence room, and one human male in the garage. Jason spotted an asari in the hallway to the roof access, but she was able to block pursuit with a singularity as she headed for the roof. Victoria sat on his arm until the surrender could be called by [[Jelvan Darennon]].
 
  
−
Calyx was tasked with breaching the door to where they were told Darennon was hiding. It was a flimsy, worn door, so a breaching charge would suffice. He gave a warning to anyone inside as he did and set the charge. There was no verbal response to it, but footsteps confirmed that someone heard his warning. The explosives went off and it opened to a bedroom where Darennon was sitting, unharmed. He offered up no resistance.

−
The singularity droppsed in time for Jason to raise a weapon against the asari, as there was someone else on the roof shooting at her. She wasn't going to let herself be talked down, and went up the roof and fought back against the unknown third party.
+
=== Aroste ===
  
−
Jason went after the asari up the ladder to the roof. He was injuried from the fighting so far and the sudden end of the singularity, but he could still hold his weapon. There were two asari on the roof, the closest being Teris, and they were by a Kodiak shuttle. Jason managed to land a few shots on Teris, but she managed to get into the shuttle and start it up. The other asari was not hostile, but Jason was not about to trust her and ordered her to get down.
+
They manage to set down in a field very close to he mission site. It was farmed land, but the nearest houses were 600 meters away and there were nobodoy working the fields at this time. A forest gave them cover to approach the base without immediate detection.
  
−
Philip searched the last room in the corridor leading to the roof, which turned out to be a server room. There were also some medical equipment there, but most importantly, a young asari named [[Marissa T'Evin|Marissa]]. Philip took care of getting her to the shuttle while Damien dealt with extracting data from the computers.
+
The locations had no windows on the wall facing them, nor any sign it ever had. There were mechs patrolling outside, however, so it was not going to be that easy to get in. Renala tried shutting the mechs down, but they were only inactive for a few seconds, and this caught the interest of a guard that was patrolling another part of the location and the alarm was sounded before they could take him out.
  
−
They decided to take Darennon with them rather than dealing with him here. He agreed to leave on the condition that they leave the island for good — fulfilling his contract with the [[Derrai Security Group]]. They did, and he surrendered command to the turian that Victoria had been guarding
+
They managed to subdue the mercenaries on the location and capture Jelvan Darennon. Teris, who had authority over Darennon, managed to slip away by using a singularity to deny entry to the hallway. She was then fighting an unidentified asari on the roof, but was able to escape before Jason could catch up with her. The asari that was fighting her didn't sustain any serious injuries. When pressed, she explained that their goals were similar, but that Redrock had gotten to them ahead of her. With a bit of a back and forth she was let go and they went their separate ways.
  
−
The asari that was fighting Teris was not given much heed as she awkwardly did as told and tried to pose no threat to the Redrock Team. She explained that their goals were similar, but that [[Redrock Agency|Redrock]] had gotten to them ahead of her. With a bit of a back and forth they went their separate ways.

=== Jelvan Darennon ===
Line 123: Line 85:
 
Jelvan was brought into [[Redrock HQ]] immediately upon their arrival back at base, ushered by [[Leah]] and [[Jattic]]. Leah asked [[Vasquez]] what to do with him, and got the order to bring him to the unused office closest to the stairs before the chief hurried to the clinic to check on Jason's injury. The salarian complained at the rough treatment, but did not show any signs of planning an escape at the time.

The salarian complained at the rough treatment, but did not show any signs of planning an escape at the time.
  
−
Leah was the first guard to watch over him during his captivity, and asked him a few questions. Jelvan was not pleased to hear that this had to do with his brother [[Rellis Darennon]], and he mentioned that while he knew it was trouble, he could not pass up his business proposal. He feared for his life should he answer any questions, especially since he didn't know why Redrock Agency was so eager to find out about him.
+
Key points of the interrogation:
−
 
+
* He claimed to not know the location of his brother [[Rellis Darennon|Rellis]]. He was not believed by either [[Vasquez]] or [[Leah]].
−
Vasquez took over for Leah after returning from the clinic several hours later, and got what he has said so far summed up as that he's unwilling to give up the location of Rellis. She insisted that Rellis was going to give up this information. Jelvan offered a word of warning that Rellis is a dangerous, resoruceful enemy that Redrock Agency do not want. He also asked if [[Teris]] escaped, because that would mean they already are in trouble.

−
He then revealed that he did not know Rellis' location, or the true structure of the organization that they both were part of. Any resource he needed, he got, and such was the case with any orders received as well. The reaction was one of frustration and scepticism. It did not sound probable that Rellis didn't even know where his own brother was.
+
* He did not know the true structure of the organization that they both were part of. Any resource he needed, he got; any orders, he followed.
 +
* Marissa was brought in there by another team and they were told to keep her secure until further orders were received.
  
−
Vasquez stepped away to inspect the datapad that [[Damien Monroe]] had brought back from the mission, but it did not have more than two pieces of unencrypted information on it. One was about moving Prerix Falten and Sarian T'Dera to a small security outfit in [[Linissa]], and the other was presumably about the child they recovered:

Jelvan kept insisting that he did not know of his brother's location, nor what was being tested in the asari prisoner. Marissa was brought in there by another team and they were told to keep her secure until further others were received, according to him. He wasn't believed this time either, and they left him in there to reconsider what he knew.

While the course of action was clear for what to do with the salarian, the options for dealing with [[Marissa T'Evin]] was not as obvious. [[Philip Lacour|Philip]] and [[Renala T'Iavay|Renala]] were the first to take responsibility for looking after her. The early plan was to contact Armali authorities and work something out from there, but [[Renala T'Iavay|Renala]] feared they could get in trouble that way. They also considered asking the client.

They ended up having her stay at the [[Miner's Respite]]. Marissa didn't talk while under their care, but Renala didn't want to know what they were doing with her; she urged Philip to avoid prying as well.
−
 
 
−
First of all they needed to get her somewhere to sleep and eat, and they opted for the [[Miner's Respite]]. [[Aylena D'Inea|Aylena]] did not ask payment for the room and food the first day after learning what was going on with the child; she was first confused why Philip was asking for a room just for her.
 
  
−
Marissa didn't talk much during her stay in [[Freedom Falls]]. Renala didn't want to know what they were doing with her, and urged Philip to avoid prying as well. It's was the authorities' responsibility to investigate this, after all. A relative of hers showed up to pick her up a few days later, which others in Redrock Agency only heard about when Renala larmented the rescuer's interesting way of saying thank you.

A relative of hers showed up to pick her up a few days later, which others in Redrock Agency only heard about when Renala larmented the rescuer's interesting way of saying thank you. [[Ilyna]] played a part in this: she went to Aite three days earlier than what she told Jason in order to confirm that Marissa was there after her family had received an anonymous tip. The relative of Marissa that attacked Renala was one of her friends from the military, [[Illeya T'Evin]]. Ilyna also confirmed that Marissa was safely back in Armali with her family.

[[Ilyna T'Rea]] explained later to Jason after his hospital stay ended that she had also played a part in this. She went to Aite three days earlier than originally planned to confirm that Marissa was here after her family had received an anonymous tip. The relative of Marissa that attacked Renala was one of her friends from the military, [[Illeya T'Evin]]. Ilyna also confirmed that Marissa was safely back in Armali with her family.

−
Jelvan Darennon was kept in [[Redrock HQ]] for a few more days without giving them any more useful information, and then time ran out. A meeting between [[Linda Vasquez|Vasquez]] and [[Renala T'Iavay|Renala]] was interrupted by a shuttle hovering outside loudly demanding the salarian's release. The two of them were the only ones in the building, and reinforcements would take time. Vasquez was trying on some new gear at the time, and was prepared for a fight.

Jelvan Darennon was kept in [[Redrock HQ]] for a few more days without giving them any more useful information, and then time ran out. A meeting between [[Linda Vasquez|Vasquez]] and [[Renala T'Iavay|Renala]] was interrupted by a shuttle hovering outside loudly demanding the salarian's release. The two of them were the only ones in the building, and reinforcements would take time. Vasquez was trying on some new gear at the time, and was prepared for a fight. The hostile shuttle had managed to destroy the wall and critically wound Jelvan, who had to be taken to the hospital. [[Renala]] was also injured by a grenade in the first breach, but the injury was not as severe. They both made full recoveries.
  
−
Renala was told to cover the door while Vasquez headed for the second floor. She tried getting a few answers over the comms channel provided by the attackers, but they were not interested in talking and instead threatened to tear through the building to get him. Vasquez tried taking down the shuttle from a window on the second floor, but the shields and the pilot's maneuvering kept them in the air.
+
[[Jason]] was still injured from the last job, but he had – with [[Ilyna]] as his accomplice – planned to provide whatever help he could as the information reaching him was scarce and concerning. A taxi was waiting outside, but the arrival of the team with [[Vasquez]] put an end to that plan.  
  
−
On the ground floor, Renala was doing her best ot keep them from breaching the building. She locked all doors after breaking into Vasquez' terminal, and then cut the power on all exterior doors once it became apparent that the enemy had techs that could get through the electronic locks. They managed to open the front door slightly before the power was cut, however, and a grenade thrown into the room disarmed and injured Renala.
+
Vasquez decided to take what they could from the damaged building and run Redrock out of the [[Miner's Respite]] while the rebuilding was underway.
  
−
Vasquez called for reinforcements, which were scrambled very quickly. [[Jasper]] was flying the shuttle, and onboard were [[Vaden]], [[Leah]] and [[Mendez]]. They arrived at the scene, but could not do much about the hostile shuttle as Redrock's shuttle had no weaponry.

Renala's injury was bad, but she was able to continue fighting after Vasquez patched her up. With there being a matter of time before they breached, she was tasked with disrupting their entrance with her biotics. Her jacket's kinetic barriers were insufficient for actual combat, so she played it safe and only sent off a singularity when Vasquez' fire had them pinned.
+
=== No Answers ===
 +
[[Vasquez]] went to speak with [[Jelvan Darennon|Jelvan]] after he had recovered from his surgery, but that did not get them any actionable information. Jelvan kept saying that he was not aware of the structure of the company, and while he could give away [[Rellis Darennon]]'s position, it was more than 100 days out of date and it was not actionable. He also kept saying that he was uninvolved in what Teris was up to with the young asari, only that she could use their location for whatever she needed. Whether Redrock viewed them as slavers, he did not particularly care. The extensive damage to [[Redrock Agency]]'s base was Vasquez' immediate concern, however, and she planned to exchange Jelvan if they were to cover the damages.
  
−
They managed to take out the two breaching through the front door, but they kept demanding the salarian's release. Failing that, they had orders to terminate him. When Vasquez inevitably denied their request again, the hostile shuttle opened fire on the room where the salarian was held.
+
A lilac-colored asari showed up later, insisting to talk wtih Jelvan. She wasn't in armor, but her clothes had kinetic barriers. Mendez managed to talk her out of seeing the salarian, and she told him that his people (which she specified was not his team on Aroste) would contact [[Redrock]]. Both Mendez and [[Halisi]] was expecting a fight but this time it ended peacefully.

Redrock then requested the aid of the local marshals and Vasquez ordered Redrock employees to secure [[Jelvan Darennon]] and abandon base. Renala irreversibly cut the power to the building's systems to halt any further breaches, so they planned to break through the hangar door with a second shuttle that was inside the building.

Before the marshals arrived, the hostile shuttle had managed to destroy the wall and critically wound Jelvan. Renala tried to use her biotics to help get him safely away from danger, but Vasquez had to drag him out as parts of the wall had pinned him to the ground.

The Marshals had sent two gunships to the scene, and they managed to take out the shuttle quickly. The hostile shuttle scrambled for what to do and in its indecision it ended up exploding five meters above the roof with a blinding flash. They still had to bust through the hangar door in a hurry, but [[Vasquez]] could now stay behind.

Rellis had given them a deadline to perform the exchange, and with the hospital at risk of being attacked, they decided to move the salarian to a hangar at the Spaceport. [[Renala T'Iavay]] showed up at the hospital in full armor with the order, and with [[Halisi]]'s blessing they began to move him. The salarian did not protest the move.

Vasquez briefed the Marshals while the rest of the people involved went to the clinic to seek treatement for Renala and Jelvan's injuries. Jelvan was rushed to surgery immediately, while Renala was helped inside by Mendez until a nurse could take her to a doctor.

They had little time to prepare, as Rellis' deadline had already ran out by the time they arrived at the hangar. And it wouldn't take long for a shuttle to arrive right above their heads. Their sudden appearance and false pretense of flying past had the Marshals at a disadvantage, and they were able to get their people on the roof before gunships chased their shuttle off. What followed was a long battle where Redrock lacked high ground. The Marshals and Kim Polner were able to take out the people on the roof.

[[Jason]] was still injured from the last job, but he had – with [[Ilyna]] as his accomplice – planned to provide whatever help he could as the information reaching him was scarce and worrisome. A taxi was waiting outside, but the arrival of the team with [[Vasquez]] following shortly after put an end to that plan.

Vasquez sustained a critical injury that needed immediate medical attention, while Renala sustained some injuries after being pulled into yet another singularity. They were both transported to the hospital by the Marshals right after the battle as Redrock's shuttle were stuck in the hangar due to the (deliberately) broken hatch. Rellis' team were unable to secure Jelvan.

[[Vasquez]] went to speak with [[Jelvan Darennon|Jelvan]] after he had recovered from his surgery, but that did not get them any actionable information. Jelvan kept saying that he was not aware of the structure of the company, and while he could give away [[Rellis Darennon]]'s position, it was more than 100 days out of date and it was not actionable. He also kept saying that he was uninvolved in what Teris was up to with the young asari, only that she could use their location for whatever she needed. Whether Redrock viewed them as slavers, he did not particularly care.
 
  
−
The extensive damage to [[Redrock Agency]]'s base was Vasquez' immediate concern, however, and she planned to exchange Jelvan if they were to cover the damages. The job was done, [[Uvena]] had the data she needed and had paid Redrock Agency for it, so getting their losses covered would be enough.

While that was going down, the lilac asari that met Mendez at the hospital went to the [Miner's Respite] in order to gather some files on Redrock Agency. While nobody was guarding the Respite at the time, [[Steve]] and [[Victoria]] of the agency were quick to respond to [[Aylena]]'s call for help. Gren saw them approach and wasn't far behind. The asari shot Va'ynna twice and telling them to let her finish what to do so they can help. It didn't go according to plan, however, and she was not able to escape with the data.

A lilac-colored asari showed up later, insisting to talk wtih Jelvan. She was in casual clothing, but with obvious kinetic barriers. Mendez managed to talk her out of seeing the salarian, but she told him that his people (which she specified was not his team on Aroste) would contact [[Redrock]]. Both Mendez and [[Halisi]], who was standing nearby, was expecting a fight but this time it ended peacefully.

Uvena Atana showed up in Freedom Falls, breaking into the Miner's Respite to take shelter from mercenaries attacking her. She wanted answers about the attempt on her daughter's life, and she had a lead to follow. They attacked the base on Aroste and captured Jelvan Darennon, but had to let him go after repeated attacks.

Despite the end of the attacks, Va'ynna Atana is not out of the water yet. The question remains whether there is a connection between this and her more recent problems.

Redrock Agency

Aroste Base

Jelvan's Business Partners

  • Teris

Miner's Respite

Captive

Unknown/Other

  • Armored asari
  • Asari mercenary attacking Uvena
  • Human mercenary attacking Uvena

Summary

Respite Shootout

It was a normal day at the Respite in the beginning of August when a shootout broke out outside. It inevitably ended up involving the Respite when Uvena Atana, one involved in the shootout, sought refuge in the Respite's garage. Steve Briggs was handling security that day. Other off-duty Redrock Agency personnel were also present. The Respite sustained minimal damages, but Aylena got Uvena to pay for her release.

Uvena Atana

Uvena went to Redrock HQ a few days after the incident at the Miner's Respite, She did not call ahead, so her arrival was a surprise to Jason Wolfe and Linda Vasquez who were in the middle of a meeting about a medical expense at the time. She tried to hire Redrock Agency without revealing her identity and stake in this. Jason wasn't going to allow this, and she introduced herself as Uvena Atana, and that she was on Aite to help her daughter. Uvena wanted Jason to keep this information from Va'ynna, but he refused despite Vasquez' insistence on not getting into a personal argument with a client.

It took another few days before Vasquez could reach a decision and they agreed on a payment of 190,000 credits with the condition that Uvena will have to pay more should the intel not match up with reality.

Trip to Aroste

Redrock Agency set off on the mission not long after the last meeting with Uvena. They did not give much notice to their employees, but still had an adequate turnout. This was Damien and Calyx' first mission, and the shuttle thrip there was their first chance to introduce themselves to their colleagues.

The trip was uneventful until they entered Derrai airspace. They were given a landing site after paying the 5,000 credit landing fee, but it was nowhere near the mission site. Thus, they decided to take the shuttle underwater. Aroste's flight control did not fall for the same lie when they resurfaced, but Damien managed to disrupt the island's security systems, and they were able to reach the mission site without any altercations.

Aroste

They manage to set down in a field very close to he mission site. It was farmed land, but the nearest houses were 600 meters away and there were nobodoy working the fields at this time. A forest gave them cover to approach the base without immediate detection.

The locations had no windows on the wall facing them, nor any sign it ever had. There were mechs patrolling outside, however, so it was not going to be that easy to get in. Renala tried shutting the mechs down, but they were only inactive for a few seconds, and this caught the interest of a guard that was patrolling another part of the location and the alarm was sounded before they could take him out.

They managed to subdue the mercenaries on the location and capture Jelvan Darennon. Teris, who had authority over Darennon, managed to slip away by using a singularity to deny entry to the hallway. She was then fighting an unidentified asari on the roof, but was able to escape before Jason could catch up with her. The asari that was fighting her didn't sustain any serious injuries. When pressed, she explained that their goals were similar, but that Redrock had gotten to them ahead of her. With a bit of a back and forth she was let go and they went their separate ways.

Jelvan Darennon

Jelvan was brought into Redrock HQ immediately upon their arrival back at base, ushered by Leah and Jattic. Leah asked Vasquez what to do with him, and got the order to bring him to the unused office closest to the stairs before the chief hurried to the clinic to check on Jason's injury. The salarian complained at the rough treatment, but did not show any signs of planning an escape at the time.

Key points of the interrogation:

  • He claimed to not know the location of his brother Rellis. He was not believed by either Vasquez or Leah.
  • Jelvan offered a word of warning that Rellis is a dangerous, resourceful enemy that Redrock Agency do not want.
  • He asked if Teris escaped, because that would mean they already are in trouble.
  • He did not know the true structure of the organization that they both were part of. Any resource he needed, he got; any orders, he followed.
  • Marissa was brought in there by another team and they were told to keep her secure until further orders were received.

Vasquez inspected the datapad that Damien Monroe had brought back from the mission, but it did not have more than two pieces of unencrypted information on it. One was about moving Prerix Falten and Sarian T'Dera to a small security outfit in Linissa, and the other was presumably about the child they recovered:

I did the tests. This one's a negative, so keep looking. Dispose of her when you're done dealing with the intruders. And don't snatch them from council space worlds from now on; too many regulations for one of these to slip through the cracks. I'm out of here. –Teris

Marissa T'Evin

While the course of action was clear for what to do with the salarian, the options for dealing with Marissa T'Evin was not as obvious. Philip and Renala were the first to take responsibility for looking after her. The early plan was to contact Armali authorities and work something out from there, but Renala feared they could get in trouble that way. They also considered asking the client. They ended up having her stay at the Miner's Respite. Marissa didn't talk while under their care, but Renala didn't want to know what they were doing with her; she urged Philip to avoid prying as well.

A relative of hers showed up to pick her up a few days later, which others in Redrock Agency only heard about when Renala larmented the rescuer's interesting way of saying thank you. Ilyna played a part in this: she went to Aite three days earlier than what she told Jason in order to confirm that Marissa was there after her family had received an anonymous tip. The relative of Marissa that attacked Renala was one of her friends from the military, Illeya T'Evin. Ilyna also confirmed that Marissa was safely back in Armali with her family.

Redrock HQ Attack

Jelvan Darennon was kept in Redrock HQ for a few more days without giving them any more useful information, and then time ran out. A meeting between Vasquez and Renala was interrupted by a shuttle hovering outside loudly demanding the salarian's release. The two of them were the only ones in the building, and reinforcements would take time. Vasquez was trying on some new gear at the time, and was prepared for a fight. The hostile shuttle had managed to destroy the wall and critically wound Jelvan, who had to be taken to the hospital. Renala was also injured by a grenade in the first breach, but the injury was not as severe. They both made full recoveries.

Jason was still injured from the last job, but he had – with Ilyna as his accomplice – planned to provide whatever help he could as the information reaching him was scarce and concerning. A taxi was waiting outside, but the arrival of the team with Vasquez put an end to that plan.

Vasquez decided to take what they could from the damaged building and run Redrock out of the Miner's Respite while the rebuilding was underway.

No Answers

Vasquez went to speak with Jelvan after he had recovered from his surgery, but that did not get them any actionable information. Jelvan kept saying that he was not aware of the structure of the company, and while he could give away Rellis Darennon's position, it was more than 100 days out of date and it was not actionable. He also kept saying that he was uninvolved in what Teris was up to with the young asari, only that she could use their location for whatever she needed. Whether Redrock viewed them as slavers, he did not particularly care. The extensive damage to Redrock Agency's base was Vasquez' immediate concern, however, and she planned to exchange Jelvan if they were to cover the damages.

A lilac-colored asari showed up later, insisting to talk wtih Jelvan. She wasn't in armor, but her clothes had kinetic barriers. Mendez managed to talk her out of seeing the salarian, and she told him that his people (which she specified was not his team on Aroste) would contact Redrock. Both Mendez and Halisi was expecting a fight but this time it ended peacefully.

Spaceport Attack

Rellis had given them a deadline to perform the exchange, and with the hospital at risk of being attacked, they decided to move the salarian to a hangar at the Spaceport. Renala T'Iavay showed up at the hospital in full armor with the order, and with Halisi's blessing they began to move him. The salarian did not protest the move.

They had little time to prepare, as Rellis' deadline had already ran out by the time they arrived at the hangar. And it wouldn't take long for a shuttle to arrive right above their heads. Their sudden appearance and false pretense of flying past had the Marshals at a disadvantage, and they were able to get their people on the roof before gunships chased their shuttle off. What followed was a long battle where Redrock lacked high ground. The Marshals and Kim Polner were able to take out the people on the roof.

Vasquez sustained a critical injury that needed immediate medical attention, while Renala sustained some injuries after being pulled into yet another singularity. They were both transported to the hospital by the Marshals right after the battle as Redrock's shuttle were stuck in the hangar due to the (deliberately) broken hatch. Rellis' team were unable to secure Jelvan.

While that was going down, the lilac asari that met Mendez at the hospital went to the [Miner's Respite] in order to gather some files on Redrock Agency. While nobody was guarding the Respite at the time, Steve and Victoria of the agency were quick to respond to Aylena's call for help. Gren saw them approach and wasn't far behind. The asari shot Va'ynna twice and telling them to let her finish what to do so they can help. It didn't go according to plan, however, and she was not able to escape with the data.

Wrapping Up

They were out of options at this point. They had no location to go after, and they were not prepared for another attack. Rellis contacted them eventually, offering to put this all behind them in exchange for Jelvan. They were forced to take that deal. Uvena, and her acquaintance on Thessia, did pay after a few days.
