Location: Dula Orchards
(June 10th at the private Orchards. 7:00pm in the evening. Starcrash crew only for now.)
It was mid dusk. A cold breeze was in the air, and everything was quiet. The occasional song birds chirped out their final sweet notes of the day, and the wind rustled in the leaves of the many hundreds of fruit tree's and bushes.
Loki was nestled in the roots of a tall tree of a grove surrounding the orchard. She fiddled with a small metal object, and stooped forwards towards the fence.
The object in her hand was a set of plyers. She began to widen out a whole in the fence, just big enough for she and her accomplices to flit through comfortably.
Loki carefully clipped through the fence, grasping the mesh to muffle the sproinging sound of metal as it was sliced in half.She bent the broken fence outwards so no one would be caught on the way out.
"This ought... to just do it." Loki whispered, looking back to see if the team were still with her. She blinked, squinting in to the darkness.
"We all here?" She asked, hoping to get some basic role call back.

There was enough recovery for Andromeda so he could actually stand up, enjoy his life, and go out thieving. Now that they have been situated, and the girls and Andy himself were not sick anymore. He'd slip through the grass, his trenchcoat billowing behind him as he watched Loki deal with everything.
"Good. We'll head straight to the storage units and see what we can swipe." He'd look behind him. He'd brought along Nerys for lockpicking, Daniela for the heavy work, and Cepheid for looking out (that is if his RPer wants to post here).
"Alright girls. Let's do this."

Nerys and Daniela were right behind Andromeda as they went to sneak into the orchards. Free food, and maybe even booze! That would be absolutely fantastic! Well to Nerys it would but Dani has her issues with bringing alcohol onto the ship.
"I'm here. Take me to the storage units. I'll take care of lockpicking." She's whisper. Daniela herself grinned.
"Right." She and Nerys would follow Loki and Andy to wherever they needed to go.

His arm still hurt, but Ceph was more than capable to play lookout. Armed with his best scopes, he had managed to weasel his way up onto high ground where he could see most of everyone. Around his neck was a bird call whistle of a local nocturnal bird, and if he saw someone coming, he'd give the item a blow in a predetermined tune to warn the others.
He wished he could be more of a help, but with his bum arm, there was only so much he could do. So, there he was, up a tree with his eye in his scope. If Ceph had one thing, it was sharp vision. Even without his scope, he could count the apples on the trees several hundred yards from his position.
He took the whistle and did an innocent tune, telling those below the coast was clear for the time being.

Loki nodded, looking back and forth between the voices. She could only just see the sillhouettes of her team behind her, but she heard all the right voices, and that's what counted.
Loki looked up as she heard the bird call.
"C'mon. That's our cue!" She called quietly, beckonning them to come closer, she slipped under the fence first, looking back and forth, before hiding in one of the groves as she watched to make sure everyone got under okay.
When they did, she would come forward, and take the lead, stooping as low as possible as she made a beeline towards the storehouse. She would stop, and look behind to make sure the others followed.
Loki kept an eye out for any lanterns that may have bellonged to the nightwatchmen.

Knowing the Dula watchmen. They'd be stupid. They were always stupid. They were few and far between and even if they were spotted, Andy would silence them quickly. For now, he would wait for his brother to make the call and follow Loki straight towards the storage units, ducking around orchard trees and bushes. It was dry, so he was glad that the prints they make would scatter quickly in the wind.
"..." Andy pressed his back to the storage unit, and motioned for Nerys to do her thing. He'd look up and out, watching for any lanterns that signified watchmen. There were a few in the distance...

Nerys and Daniela would quietly follow as well, the young girls crouching and quietly ducking around the plants that got in their way. Nerys would shy away from the lanterns easily, but as long as they could sneak whatever fruits that were stored, and maybe even barrels of alcohol, they'd be happy.
Nerys nodded when Andy made his motion, and Dani crouched, her tall figure hunkered down to keep out of sight. It would be up to her to knock out any guards.
Nerys crouched and snuck over to the door, grabbing a bobby pin and screwdriver, before picking the lock and taking a few minutes to unlock the doors and quietly opening the door.

Ceph remained in his perch, keeping a close eye on the crew and the guards.
If any of the guards got too close, he'd let out another call, warning the crew to take cover.
Once they got inside one of the buildings, he couldn't help but feel concern welling up. He couldn't see what was going on inside, so he shifted nervously, using the scope to look into one of the windows if he could, though he'd shift his gaze to the surroundings occasionally to ensure no one was sneaking up.

Loki also kept a look out, occasionally watchinf for Nerys to unlock the door.
She heard that satisfying click, to signify they were in. Loki smirked, and ever so carefully opened the door ajar, peering in, before taking lead, and slinking in to the storehouse. She looked around and listened, to make sure there weren't any guards in the building.
When she was satisfied they were alone, she beckonned the others to come in.
"Well, where should we start?" Loki asked, turning and examining the various boxes of different fruits. She rubbed her hands together, biting her lip as she tried to figure out how many they should take, and what would be easy to get away with.

Andromeda grinned when Nerys finally got the door and they all managed to slip in. Finally, after they made sure they were all alone, Andromeda looked around for a large sack. He'd use one of those to grab whatever fruit he could.
"Grab any fruit that is offseason. Dani, see if you can get some kegs." He spoke up. Yes, he expected Nerys and Loki to at least get bags of fruit as well.
"See if the rest of us can grab any sacks."

Nerys and Dani would be last in the barn as well, as the two of them spoke up what they want to do. Daniela herself would keep her ear out for any guards or even Cepheid's call. There wasn't much either girl could say about it, but Daniela would easily grab a couple kegs of hard apple cider.
"Alright, let's hurry..." Nerys spoke up, also looking around for a sack to grab. Peaches were off season if she recalled, though they were soft and bruise easily...

[[OOC: Unless something happens to warrant Cepheid giving a warning call, he doesn't have anything to do, so go ahead and skip him this round.]]

Loki grabbed herself a couple of sacks of fruit for each shoulder, and filled various pockets with bags of dried fruit. One of the sacks contained pears, the other had apples. She didn't want to mess around too long choosing what to take.
Loki looked out the door, and to the others. "Come on. Don't get too picky..." she warned. She shuffled uncomfortably through each passing second.
She had sworn that she had seen lanturn light of the watchmen on patrol getting closer. They had to pass the warehouse at some point on their route...

The watchmen were indeed getting closer, and the light would hit them very soon. Andy would bite his lip and usher the girls out, Dani had the kegs needed, their pockets were filled with all sort of peaches, fruits, apples, and items of consumption.
Andy then swung a bag over his shoulder and exited with the girls, keeping to the shadows and letting his black trenchcoat hide his body. The passing minutes were getting more, and the men seemed to beeline for the barn.
"Move!" He hissed. They had to get as far from the place as possible.

Nerys and Dani were ready as ever, the young women slipping out with the others. Nerys definitely didn't want to be caught like this, especially since they were with Andy and it would cause huge issues. Dani not so much, but at the same time she felt safer around Andy. They'd congregate in a dark patch of area, watching the others as they slipped towards them.
"THis is too close. They might track us..." Nerys whispered.
