Heist

[Stuffz]

"Maybe it would have been better to leave you in your quarters." He frowned at her before taking a look through the bar. As he noticed Shimizu he turned back to the others and nodded at them. Then he stood up and walked over to the newly arrived Tetsuo and quickly urged him to leave the bar. "Let's take a walk." He lead him through the door. In the meantime the other team members split up and took different paths to the hangar.
Junko pouted slightly and stayed sat for a few seconds, until she eventually got on her feet. She then loosely followed the other officers.
With a quiet nod Tetsuo followed Hideaki. When they left the bar he calmly looked around, making sure that there was nobody there to hear him, and with a low voice said "Perhaps it is time to reveal your whole plan now? I dislike to act blindly."
"I thought I told you what we are doing?" He continued walking towards the hangar. "I assume you have a ship waiting for us in the docks?"
"I am more concerned about the way how you will achieve it." Tetsuo replied, ignoring the question.
"We will handle everything once we're on the station. We know the station layout and my men are carefully instructed. Just make sure to bring us there."
"What about our cover? Have you made sure that it will go unnoticed?"
"We will arrive under the cover of an inspection team from the KNF. If it doesn't hold we'll have to use brute force."
"I meant my team. If anything goes wrong, suspicions will fall on my people."
"Ideally, you should be long gone by the time that we steal the ships." They enter the hangar. "If they find out, you will need to flee and join our fleet."

Tetsuo stoped and disapprovingly looked at Ishikawa "This plan depends on luck too much..."
"What did you expect? An operation like that is risky." He took a look around. "Where is the ship?"
"It's not about risks. You will be discovered with cover like that right after landing. And in that case, my people will be in danger as well."
"And why do you think we'll be discovered?" He sighed.
"Shimizu. You do want to help us, or not?" Junko seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
"It's not like it's hard to find a reason. Just pretend we forced you by putting a gun on your head or whatever..."
"All he asks is to drop us on Nansei. Shouldn't be hard. You have access to the security grid and should know how to drop us without being noticed..."
"Or am i wrong?"
She then shrugs "But if you are afraid, i guess i can understand that..."

Looking behind his shoulder Tetsuo noticed Junko. Slightly frowning he said "If you want to make it out alive, you should think more then that, Sanada-san." Then he turned back to Ishikawa "Using cover of something official will be checked immediately. And apart of that, some of your persons are known around KNF."
"I'm not the boss here..."
"Just giving my opinion to be useful. Unless you think a woman can only have stupid ideas?"
Without turning to her Shimizu replied "When your idea will be good enough, I will say so."
"Oh yeah? What about this, smart-san."
"You send a message to Nansei stating you succeeded to capture several rebels... Rebels, pffft... " she says to herself before carrying on..
"Then, when we make it to the docks, we take you as hostage and do our things."
"Of course we would have to kill you in the end, but i guess it would be worth it."
"All hostages captured in Taus or around Kyushu are moved straight to Nagumo or to Fuchu." with another look Tetsuo showed his irritation "Now be quiet unless you have anything useful to say."
"Fine..."

"I have a great idea. You give us your ship and we'll do everything by ourselves."
"You wanted to be part of this rebellion, you'll also have to do something for it."
"And once I give you my ship I will have to make story how did you captured it?" Tetsuo sighed disappointedly and looked at Ishikawa "I may deliver you as crewmen of my vessel. During unloading you may sneak on the station. Departing will take a while so you will have time to blend in with station crews."
"That works as well as my suggestion. We just need to play our part convincingly. And taking your ship and dropping all of your men into pods would work as well. All I want is to get on the ship."
"That works differently from your plans. You and your men should ensure that you will not get into lenses of the security cameras on the station, as well as not attract any view of other people."
"Being in plain view is the best cover. But I suggest you let me worry about that and just get us on the damn station."
"Being in plain view and attracting attention are two different things. Untill I make sure that my support in this case will not be discovered, I won't bring you to the station."
Junko sighed. "So? We go back home already?"
"Why did you even accept when I sent you the message, when you're clearly not prepared to act."
"Are you sure that it is me who is not prepared to act?" Tetsuo replied calmly
"You're obviously afraid now. You should have said from the start that you're not up for the task."
"It's natural to refuse foolish decissions." Tetsuo sighed and calmly continued "Either way, I offered you a way. If that doesn't work with you, you should offer something more promissing."
"Can i kill him now?"
Tetsuo gazed at Junko doubtfully, but decided to ignore.
"Alright. Fine. We do it like you want. Now get us on the ship. We don't have time for this ..."
Slightly squinting at Ishikawa Tetsuo replied "Very well. The freighter awaits us in the hangar."
"Hideaki, the pro negociator."
"Shut up." He walks into the hangar.
"Relax... Smile. Isn't it a beautiful day to die?"
Without saying anything Tetsuo followed them in the hangar. Once in there he points on the vessel, saying "This will be our transport for a while."
