Journey of the 100th legion

A New Kind of War (part 2)

Durge had left his small apartment that he kept on Coruscant for when he had a job here. Durge had been watching the holonets to see if his latest two kills had a way to be tracked back to him and so far that hadn't been any news but Durge couldn't afford to wait. The senate meeting would be happening soon and Durge needed to get into the building to set up his fake assassination.

Durge's ship was set with an autopilot which would cause it to fly back to his apartment once he was off it. Durge's plan was to enter through the vents and set up a trip wire in the king's room. Hopefully a clone or someone would walk through first though if the king happened to go through first then there's nothing Durge could really do to stop it. 

Durge piloted his Koro-2 speeder towards the nearest ventilation shaft where he engaged the autopilot. Durge pushed a button which opened the cockpit and he grabbed his pack of gear but left the sniper since there wouldn't be much use in it. Durge leapt from the speeder and onto the ledge which was just big enough for his feet. The speeder took off back towards the apartments and Durge pulled out his pistol and shot the ventilation shaft grate off.

Durge knelt down and did a mental measurement. It would be a tight fit but Durge could fit and the pack wouldn't be to much of a problem. The only problem would be trying to remember the way. Durge hadn't brought his holo disk with him for fear of it producing a light and being seen by someone so he had made sure to memorize the shafts and how to get in and out.

Durge had crawled through many vents but he had to admit that these were definitely the cleanest which was a bit of a surprise. Durge crawled through and found the hallway that had armed guards patrolling the whole thing. Durge continued his journey and found the vent that had the king on the other side of it.

The king in Durge's eyes wasn't very royal looking. He looked like any other human Durge had killed. The king was lean and fit compared to some people that were half the size of a Gamoreen pig. His hair was brown with what looked like a white streak he seemed to be trying to hide. Which meant he was older than thought or was more stressed then anything.

His clothes definitely gave off the rich type of person type. Though it didn't give off the I'm better then you look. Durge ducked down out of sight real quick as the king glanced up towards the ventilation shaft access port. Durge heard the door to the room open an a clones voice was heard.

"Sir the escort is ready." The clone said.

"Very good. Let us be on our way." The king replied.

Durge heard feet leave but he heard two sets of feet stay behind.

"Why do you think the captain left us here?" A clone asked.

"I don't know. Maybe just to make sure no one else comes in?" Another trooper replied.

Durge heard them leave the separate room and enter back into the main room. Durge waited till the door had closed before peeking back up. Once Durge saw they were gone he pulled the grate entrance out and hopped down and into the king's room. Durge made his way over to the door and squatted down and pulled out a couple of small devices and sat one on the bottom of the door where a person's foot would pass through.

As Durge went to push a button to make laser appear the door opened and Durged looked up to see a trooper in white armor with red markings. The trooper looked down at Durge who looked up and locked eye contact.

"What are you doing in here!?" The trooper demanded.

The other trooper was making his way over so Durge launched forward tackling the trooper in front of him. The trooper fell to the ground and the other raised his blaster. If a single shot was fired the senate building would go into lock down. Durged rushed the other trooper and knocked his blaster aside.
