3D Mapping

Then the stranger and Talerian made there way to the hanger to find Tal's ship. Sadly a few thugs hoping to make a quick score were waiting to ambush since they saw the bag of coins back at the cantina. Four thugs armed with knives and pipes attacked the Mandalorian only to find themselves on the dirt ground with broken arms and legs. Tal considered killing them but knew it would be bad for future business so he stepped around them as the stranger was impressed by the speed and combat skill of the Mando. He was going to fight as well but he was clearly not needed for dealing with simple thugs. Once in the mando's ship, they bucked in and blasted off to their destination. The stranger removed his robe to reveal he was a clone Captain named Blue. They then headed to Mos Espa to meet with Kal-Nar and the rest of his team.

The flight to Mos Espa to meet with Kal-Nar and his team was a short trip for Maxx and Blue since they flew from one city to another on the same planet. After landing in the port they got refueled and paid the docking fees. However they were not in a hurry to leave the ship since they were still waiting on Kal-Nar. So they prepped their gear and Maxx set up his scanners to see who was around watching them. When the coast was clear he activated a few button and ha hatch on top of his ship opened up to release a few small drones that flew out. The small drones flew in a specific direction to get intel on the area and if possible some details on the base they were going to break into. It never hurt to have additional info on a target and as long as he was not caught in the act he was sure no one would care.

People hired Mandos Mercs because they had a good rep of being skilled. So failure meant death for many who were not prepared. As the drones scanned the area the data was being recorded on the ships computer and Maxx had a holographic map being built with that data so he and Blue could study it ahead of time. They wanted to know the size of the complex, how many floors, underground rooms, secret escape routes, the terrain, any wild animals in the area, number of guards, defense weapons to deal with any ships, hangar locations and anything that could be useful. This was common knowledge to seek out in any military, pirate or merc infiltration so Blue was totally onboard with this plan. The two men only spoke when they saw something interesting on the holographic map.

Their conversation was all business on what techniques and tools were needed to deal with accomplishing their mission. Blue was not going to have a large military force to use on this mission so he was going to have to improvise a lot. Maxx was used to solo missions so he has to be more resourceful in his efforts since weapons and resources cost money. Since luck favors the prepared, Maxx showed Blue some options to get around some troublesome issues. They also had to plan if they were attacking in the day or night time since that would alter the plan a lot. Night time attacks required more stealth and resources but less members. So if they had that option the risk would be much lower and the salvage to sell would be higher for Maxx to sell off later on. Now they just needed to wait for more info and for Kal-Nar to arrive.
