The merc leader took off his helmet, showing the half-scarred faced Chiss, the Chiss was a logical thinker, and if these were truly Mandalorians he knew they had atleast a hint of honor in them.

Without even asking the mercs surrounding him he pressed one of the buttons. Cancel. For once in his life he wouldn’t question himself. Would it be the first and last time?

As the button was pressed, nothing happened for a few seconds. Outside the sound of eruptions in the early morning sky came through, people inside their homes coming out to point at the sky in various states of panic and confusion.

All of them loud and yelling, some children screaming or crying in concern...

 

[Kalariax]

As they stepped outside to gaze upon their choices. The sky was lit up in crimson, as throughout the district, various rooftops of the buildings exploded in the early morning sky. Lighting up the entire Jiaka District.

Fireworks of bright red streaked across the sky, filling the night with flashes of light and pops of the fireworks. Some reveled, some were confused. But for a brief moment, everything and everyone inside the Jiaka District above ground stopped to gaze up at the sky.

The countdown timer at the storefront had dropped down to 00:00:00.

Alark had brought Red Dawn unto Jiaka.

 

[Alark]

The Chiss had rushed down the stairs and made it outside, he was wet, tired to the point of passing out.

But when he saw the fireworks he just stood there with a warm smile, all his worries leaving for a moment.
Having no idea if there ever had been a bomb or not he ran his arm across his eyes. Hiding his face under the helmet after again. It was time to go home.

But first the group moved to track the signal now, wanting to make sure if there was an actual bomb there or not. They moved with speed now since everyone was busy with the fireworks.

With the most recent communication sent out the atmosphere in Jiaka had changed. Across secured positions in Little Ryloth, Snah, Kinduri and Calix, Imperial forces began quietly preparing for a rapid extraction. Equipment was repacked, transports sat fuelled on standby, and though the fortifications remained manned… the message to the rank-and-file was clear; be prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice.

With Wraid Company overseeing security and evacuation preparations, Shyrack Company was freed to focus entirely on the second directive of the order. The locating and hunting down of the Mandalorian insurgents who had ignited the conflict.

Patrols doubled, forcing entry into apartments, workshops, warehouses, and derelict commercial blocks, conducting systematic searches of every accessible structure. Civilians were ordered into the streets for identification checks while troopers cleared interiors room by room, searching for hidden occupants, weapons caches, or any sign of insurgent support.

All detainees and refugees were interrogated for leads by intelligence operatives.

But first the group moved to track the signal now, wanting to make sure if there was an actual bomb there or not. They moved with speed now since everyone was busy with the fireworks.

The origin of the signal had been tracked down into sewer system beneath the Jiaka District. Seemingly they were piggybacking off of the back of the Tukian Mob's logistic lines. Alark was informed immediately upon discovery to ensure they could leave at a moments notice.

Down the wet, moldy steps of the many sewer entrances, lead to the maintenance level to deal with all the mess from sentients, with the smell confirming that it was still unfortunately in use, even with all the chaos happening above.

The tracker lead a few hundred meters down on of the primary tunnel systems, and down a brief off-shoot inside a side tunnel. While the distance itself wasn't long to cover on foot, shadows from figures moving about constantly zipped by in peripheral vision.

Seemingly in use by people to try to find a way out of the district, though given the lockdown it was hard to find somewhere safe to come up and integrate outside the checkpoint, that however, didn't stop people from trying.

The 19 mercs moved slowly down in the sewers, they had taken their time with everything else and they weren't going to rush things down here.
It seemed they had been told to not fire unless ordered to as none of them fired when they spotted anything, but they would defend themselves if attacked without mercy.

They kept moving towards the signal. leaving any people that might have passed them to do their thing, not stopping to speak to them. Some of the mercs spoke about the smell not being too bad before a shush came from the leader, telling them to focus on the mission.
