"Another lost signal, sire."
The surveillance room was cold and quiet as the engineer in the chair swiveled to face Vocado. The Imeckian boy was fresh-faced and eager to help beat the Arcosians, but clearly he was losing some of that spark. This was the fifth time they'd lost transmission with an operative who'd been sent to Vegeta, and it didn't take a genius to figure out why. They were getting caught, and quickly too.
"End the transmission..."
The Imeckian did so, and the screen went dark. Slowly, Vocado stood out of his chair, and walked into the hall. Once the metal door slid closed behind him, he let out a massive sigh, slumping against the wall in defeat. Idly tightening one of his gloves out of habit, the King began to let his mind wander. Scouts weren't going to do, it seemed. He needed someone stronger, someone who could hold their own if they got caught.
He considered Banzo first, but decided against it. He was massively powerful, but that was presented its own problem. He'd be detected before breaking into orbit, and be blasted straight out of the sky. If, by some miracle, he hit Vegetan soil, he'd be hounded by the entire planet in seconds. Even an Oozaru of his strength couldn't handle the World Trade Fleet's full force. Besides, the shirtless mercenary was never one for subtlety.
The next to come to mind was Nashua. Labeled a pacifist by her peers, she had grown considerably in strength over the last few months. If he had to guess, she could probably give him more than a run for his money in a real fight. Surely she'd be good for the job.
But could she do it alone? Some of the scouts he'd sent knew their way around a stealth mission, and they got caught easily. Clearly the fleet had air-tight security. She'd need backup, but who?
There was Mollusc. The Namekian was loyal as hell, and his devotion to his god was... Both a blessing and a curse, he supposed. He might just work. Then again, the two had never worked together before. Would they mesh well?
"Only one way to find out."
He turned on his heel, walking towards the throne room, motioning for a guard. A nearby soldier hurried to his side, trying and failing to bow and walk at the same time.
"S-sire! You called?"
"Summon Nashua and Mollusc to the throne room. I have need of them for a mission."
The soldier dared not ask why, and simply dashed across the base. Whether they were off-site or in their bunks, the short Brenchian would find them no matter what!

Mollusc had gotten the call while he was relaxing and writing in his book of Porunga. He was not super close but he felt he was getting there with the book. He had the basic ideas down. He even when to that odd city to talk about them. Regardless, the call seemed important. So he didn't question it and sprung forward into action. He flew off to where Vocado would be. Vocado was his king and he did serve the saiyans for Porunga. As long as they fought in his light he'd have no reason to not fight with them. Though there was a time he had to think about it with other groups claiming to follow the light of Porunga.
He'd arrive at the base. He'd enter looking around a bit. He had not been there much. A few times yes but most of the time he was far away from the action with other Sse members. This was also the first time he had ever been summoned for a mission. Mollusc would walk to the throne room coming face to face with his king. Mollusc would bow to Vocado. "Greetings King Vocado. I assume it is urgent if you needed to soummon me. Porunga knew that my services would be needed. What can I do for you?" Mollusc asked keeping his head bowed in respect as he waited for his orders.

| THE KING DECREES |
The moment Nashua received the call to action, she sped straight towards her space ship, and flew it all the way over to the mountains that the kingdom had set its base up in. If there was a speed limit for air travel, then she was pretty sure she'd have broken it as she put the pedal to the metal and flew across the mountains, only slowing herself down as she neared the place where their base was at. Throughout the trip, excitement bubbled underneath her calm facial expression. A special request specifically for her from the king? Were they finally going to start working to take back their home planet? Was she getting a promotion? Many questions raced through her eager mind, each one generating more excitement than the last until she finally touched her ship own just outside the cave's entrance and raced inside.
"I've been summoned by King Vocado," she told one of the guards at the entrance, trying her best to keep a calm exterior. Had she lacked the willpower to seem stoic, she'd have been giggling like a child on the way to the fair, though her face remained straight as she was instructed to proceed towards the throne room for her mission. After a slight bow to the guard and a thank you, she quickly walked down the base, the heels of her boots clicking against the stony floor at an increasing pace until she reached the hall where the king supposedly stood. Nashua took a few deep breaths to lower her rapidly beating heart, then entered the room with her head held high, though he brows furrowed in a mix of surprise and slight confusion when she spotted someone familiar already bowing before the king.
"Mollusc?" she asked as she approached the two men, "What are you doing here? Have you joined the Saiyan Kingdom?" The only times she'd ever seen the Namekian, he had either been beating the crap out of her or generally acting a bit odd, so to see him bowing before the king- Wait, the king! Nashua's eyes widened and she grit her teeth as she realized she'd forgotten her place. "Er, uh, my apologies, milord, I meant no disrespect to you," she said as she got down on one knee and bowed her head before Vocado. That was embarrassing, she thought, mentally kicking herself for letting the sight of Mollusc make her lose her composure. "What is it you have summoned Mollusc and I here for, today?" she asked, her head still lowered and her eyes shut tight as she eagerly awaited the command of her king.

The duo arrived quickly, one shortly following the other. It was no surprise that they were so eager. Surely being without a task for so long would make any soldier antsy. Vocado adjusted in his seat as Mollusc addressed him, and once Nashua finished her own bow, he ordered them both to stand.
"As far as I know, Mollusc has been with us since before we lost our home. But we're not here to talk history. There's far more pressing matters at hand."
The King stood, his cape trailing behind ever-so slightly as he walked towards the left end of the throne room. "As you might be aware, the World Trade Fleet opened its blockade around our homeworld in a mocking gesture. They've disguised it as an opening for potential buyers, but I doubt they'd be looking to sell so soon." He reached the wall, and moved one of the tapestries aside, revealing a small red button. He hit it with his fist, and a hidden passage opened up. Beckoning the two to follow, Vocado would enter, and wait just a moment for the others to approach.
The hidden hall was thin and dark, lit by dull torchlight along its entirety. It stretched a fair distance; if they kept things at a brisk pace, they'd reach the other end in about two minutes.
Should they walk together, the King would continue. "I've already sent several scouts to investigate the planet, but none of them reported back. Their bodycams gave us little information to work on, other than the fact that they were killed on sight. Clearly the fleet are on edge, at least in the places I sent my men."
"I need someone more capable than the average rank-and-file soldier, but with more finesse and... Reasoning... Than some of our strongest men."
He paused in his stride for a moment, and looked back at the two of them. "Before we continue, you must know something... If I send you to Vegeta, there'll be no support from the base. We're at a delicate moment in this war. One misstep, one leaked bit of information? It's all over. You'll be alone, the two of you. Are you still up to it?"

Nashua seemed to not know he was apart of the Saiyan Kingdom. He'd look over at Nashua, "It was the will of Porunga I serve him and one way I could do that was helping the Saiyans. That was his will and till that is complete i'm at the service of the Saiyan Kingdom." He bowed his head to Vocado and Nashua once more. He turned back and focused on Vocado. He was going to explain there mission. They were going over towards Vegeta. Finally, they were going to take it back? That what he was assuming anyway. They were not going to let them sell there home. Not in a million years. He'd walk with Vocado as he motioned for the two of them to follow. He'd walk with down the hall as he explained what was going on.
They had been sending scouts to Vegeta to no effect. No one had returned. Seemed they had been killed when they tried to scout out the place. He nodded as Vocado explained this. He needed a group of people who would not just drop like files. He just stared at Vocado blankly. "I went there once. Saw no trouble. It is really not that guarded at least I went." Mollusc explained before waiting for Vocado to finish what he was going to say. He explained that if he sent them they would have no backup. If they made a misstep then they had to fight just the two of them. He looked back at Vocado. Then back to Nashi. If the two of them fought together he didn't see any problem. So he just turned back looking at Vocado. "I'm happy to go. Porunga will protect us from our foes. Plus, they cannot stop our power together if worse comes to worse."

| THE KING DECREES |
"He's been here this whole time?" Nashua muttered in slight confusion as she glanced over to the Namekian. It sure didn't seem very Saiyan Kingdomy or him to terrorize a group of skateboarders, although that was several months prior. Perhaps he'd learned not to attack civilians at random since then. "Right, Porunga," the Saiyan replied with a tinge of annoyance in her tone. Mollusc's devotion to the dragon god was certainly... Something. Whatever, she could probably count on him to have her back, provided he didn't suddenly receive an "omen" from Porunga that he needed to betray the Saiyan Kingdom. That would complicate things. Vocado started to lead them away from his throne and own a cleverly placed secret passage, with Nashua eagerly following behind him and Mollusc. "Oh my gosh, he even has a cool secret passage!" Nashua internally squealed, though her facial expression remained blank.
A for the mission itself, it was just as she'd been suspecting in the back of her mind: a secret mission to Vegeta! She'd heard tell of the World Trade Fleet loosening up on the blockade around her old home planet, so if there was any time to begin planning to strike, this was certainly it. So, Vocado was looking for someone stronger than the average soldier but with more finesse and reasoning? Nashua didn't know what finesse meant, but those other traits seemed to define her pretty well! And Mollusc, too. Sort of. She might have to expend some effort into keeping him in line, but she'd take the Namekian over just being by herself any day of the week: if they worked together, it was doubtful anything would be able to overpower them, what with their combined max strengths being immense.
"Of course I'm up to it, sir!" Nashua proudly declared with a salute to her King almost immediately after he asked the pivotal question. Mollusc shared her sentiments about both the mission and the certainty of their success. "We'll do our best to make sure we get all the information you need!" Nashua paused for a moment, beginning to mentally plan how much food and water she should bring to last herself the whole trip, when a different, slightly more relevant question popped up into her head instead. "May I ask exactly what sort of information you'll be looking for us to retrieve and investigate for you?" she asked Vocado, unsure of exactly how scouting missions were supposed to work, having never been on one herself.

Vocado's serious expression eased into a smile, and he continued walking. "Good. Your eagerness simply proves I was right to choose you. This mission might actually go well."
The King intentionally stayed quiet for a few moments, keeping the answers to their few questions to his chest until they arrived. It was only a short way to the end of the hall, and when they'd made it that far they found themselves face-to-face with another stone wall. He kicked his foot into the bottom-most tile, and it indented. Slowly, the wall slid away, revealing a small control room. It was brightly lit, which was a stark contrast from the foreboding hall they were in just moments prior.
Inside were a few technicians, working away at computers and desks. Some were developing tech, while others watched camera feeds and news stations from across the planet, as well as a few from intergalactic stations. The operation was miniscule; smaller than the department tasked with the main base's surveillance.
"I'd like to introduce the two of you to our Research and Development sector. It's small, and our lead engineer has been... Missing for a while... But things are moving along at a respectable pace."
Walking through the tightly-packed room, Vocado reached the opposite end, arriving at a small chrome table sitting beneath the large monitors. Standing there was a thin Imeckian girl, her ears pointier than the sharpest blade. She waved to her king, and presented him with a small box before slinking away.
He turned back to the duo, and clicked the box open. Inside were a trio of capsules. Two of them sported a single, bright-green sticker of an egg on it, while the other one was deep red, and featured a book on its front.
"The task I have for you both is simple. There are artifacts inside the palace that need retrieving. Objects favored by one historical figure or another were kept in the archives, hidden behind a few blast-doors just in case someone was interested in snatching them to pawn off."
He handed Mollusc the capsule container, and gave Nashua a pair of keycards.
"If they haven't burned a hole through those doors yet, these cards will get you access."
He turned to Mollusc, and pointed at the green capsules as he spoke. "As for your second objective, I need you to head to the Saiba Breeding Pits and collect some eggs for me. We need more grunts, and Saibamen are perfect specimen for the job. Filling up at least one of the two capsules should be fine enough for our breeders to get to work. Just watch out for the broodmother; I hear she can send an Oozaru running for the hills."
While he talked, a door on his left flank opened up to a launch bay. Pods resting comfortably in slings lined the floor, all aimed at a massive closed blast door. A few larger ships sat dormant in the back, one of which donned the logo of an Earthling corporation.
"You'll leave in the morning. Make sure to record as much data as you can, and if you run into any rebels on the way, help them however you see fit. Any questions?"

Mollusc followed for the time being as Vocado was explaining all this stuff and leading them to the Research and development sector. He was never a tech guy so he just stayed silent looking around the room at what they had made. He really didn't see much that in the room. Then some girl she had never seen before arrived and handed Vocado a box. He'd look at what was inside when Vocado opened it but really didn't have a clue what any of it meant. There were capsules but what was meant to be in them illuded him. Then he began to explain their goal. One was something important about some artifact. He didn't care much for that. The next thing was for him. He grabbed the Capsules as Vocado handed him them.
He began to explain that he was going to head to the Saiba Breeding Pits and collect Vocado some eggs. Saibamen eggs to be specific. They were going to help build a stronger arm for them. While he didn't care for that his job was to help them. Afterall, Porunga will it many years ago. He bowed his head in respect. "Don't worry this Broodmother should not a problem. I'm sure both of us will be able to handle whatever Arosce has to throw at us. Afterall we all are guarded by Porunga." Mollusc stated as he turned to look at Nashi. They had not been the best friends. However, they had a common foe so hopefully, the mission would go smoothly. He would have a chance to maybe find some of the knowledge he had been seeking about Porunga. He never would know till he looked. "Well if it that is all i'll be off." He'd bowed his head and headed off so he could prepare himself for the travel ahead.
