(OCC:

Where is the War happening??

this is based just before revan was ambushed by the jedi)

 

Jon and Tias ship droped out of hyperspace a few clicks away from the prison spacestation.

 

Jon- "I'll prep our prisoner."

 

Tia- "o.k" *She goes over to the communications console "Republic station this is the phoenix transporting prisoner for incarseration"

 

Voice- "Thank you phoenix we have been waiting for you, do you need a security team to assist you on docking."

 

Tia- "no we can handle this sith, just have our payment ready we want to leave A-S-A-P."

 

Voice- "O.K, phoenix your clear to land in hanger bay three.

 

Tia- "Thank you station, Phoenix out."

 

The phoenix flew towards the station as they got in to range to begin landing procediur a large door began to open with the number 3 (in Starwar numerics) on it. the ship entered and the landing thruster began to fire as they slowly approached the ground. On landing the loading ranp lowered and Jon with his sith prisoner still wearing his officers uniform walked down it. they headed to a door at the back of the hanger that automatically opened. Two armed guards were standing there.

 

Guard- "We will take him from here."

 

Jon- "once i get what i'm owed"

 

The guard then threw a small bag at jon he opened it and tipped the contents into his hand. A medium sived crystal landed in his hand.

 

Jon-" thank you, he's all yours"

 

Jon pushed the sith at the guards and turned back to the ship. In the cockpit the tia was preping the ship for launch as Jon walked in.

 

Jon-"come on let's go."

 

Tia-"where to?"

 

Jon- "let's go to corillia, i could do with a good ale!"

[Darth Smaug]

Weight: 178 lb.

Alignment: Leaning dark

Class: Scoundrel/Soldier

Appearance: Medium build; medium skin tone; yellowish horns on head that have been sharpened down; black tribal tatoos across top of head that travel down the sideburn area of the face

15 extra maneuvering thrusters were added

twin-delta shaped craft with no wings

 

Backround:

Cryain had been a freelance mercenary and crime lord enforcer for many years. Unlike the blatently bold mercanaries that most people envision, Cryain used stealth and martial arts tactics to do the job, which made him a valuable intelligence ops to most militaries. He had done some minor bounty hunting in the past, but he prefers mercenary work. His skills were offered to the highest bidders, and he had very little sense of loyalty to his employers. The rescent lack of loyalty to the Republic has caused his current wanted status.

____________

 

Name: Roa Ceetu

Sex: Male

Race: Mandalorian

Height: 6' 5"

Weight: 279 lb.

Alignment: Dark

Side: None, Escaped Convict

Equipment:

Modified Mandalorian Battle Armor

Clan Vibroblade

Sniping Rifle (range: 8km)

Modified Mandalorian Assault Rifle

Baragwin Stealth Field Generator

Backround:

Roa had been detained by the Republic many years ago for war crimes during the Mandalorian Wars and had been serving a life sentence for strategically taking out a Republic Diplomat on Onderon with his squad early in the war. He met up Cryain during his incarceration, and they became close friends. With the Republic distracted by Revan's initial attacks, they had just recently escaped from prison no sooner than 4 months ago and are wanted dead or alive by the Republic. Cryain recovered his equipment during the escape, but Roa got his equipment from a small Mandalorian settlement on Dantooine about a month later.

The phoenix flew out of the station and headed towards the planet at sublight speed. Both crew members were in the cockpit not doing much as the autopilot was on. Tia swung her chair to face the ex-jedi.

 

Tia- "so all that work just to get that crystal."

 

Jon- "Well the jedi on coruscant want it and are willing to pay alot for it."

 

Tia- " Yeah but was it worth having to hunt that sith aswell."

 

Jon- "look the jedi want the crystal, the warden owned the crystal, the warden wants that sith, a sith soldier has information on how to get the sith, the soldier wants to be hiden, we hide the soldier, he gives us info, we get sith, give sith to warden, we get crystal and now we give the crystal to the jedi... after we get a drink."

 

Tia- "still semms like alot of work."

 

Jon- "we get paid... well, now lets land this thing and get those drinks."

 

The ship flew up to the planet and entered the atmosphere landing on a floating above the planets capital.

[stingerhs]

The Re'allis was pulled out of hyperspace. Suddenly awake, Cryain looked outside his cockpit, only to see a Sith Interdictor activating its tractor beam. The tractor beam locked onto the fighter, and held it in place. Very much aware that the Sith might open fire if he activated his weapon arrays, Cryain simply activated the communications console and hailed the Interdictor. The Sith responded.

 

Sith- "Your ship's transponder codes do not match any known codes. You are being brought on board for a thorough search and some questioning."

 

Cryain tried to respond, but the channel had already been closed. With that, the Re'allis was dragged into the landing bay.

________

 

Sith Interrigator- "You know, we found a lot of weapons and such on board your fighter during the search. You wouldn't happen to be Republic lackey's on their way to Corellia, now would you?"

 

Roa- "Roa Ceetu. Serial number 13-889-12-6274"

 

Interrigator- "Ah, yes, the Mandalorian vigilence to not give up their information and become traitors. I remember fighting your kind during the War. You were weak. You had no honor in your fight."

 

Cryain- "Enough!! I won't have you goading him into a fight. We were on our way to Corellia, yes. But we were going to Corellia to find work for a local company."

 

Interrigator- "So, this company needs weapons for the job?"

 

Cryain- "(lying)Of course not. Those weapons have been in our respective families for generations. They are nothing more than personal effects."

 

Another Sith walks into the room and whispers something into the Interrigator's ear.

 

Interrigator- "I've just been informed by my master that you are to be released at once."

 

With that, the Force cages were released, and the two men were escorted to the Re'allis by several soldiers. As they prepared to get back on board, a Sith Captain walked up to Cryain.

 

Captain- "I have been ordered to give you this datapad."

 

Cryain- "What is it?"

 

Captian- "I don't know. I didn't look."

 

The captain then turned around and walked away.

__________

 

The Re'allis re-entered hyperspace. Within about 10 min, they arrived at Correllia.

[starmark2k]

Tia walked into a cantina on corillia and headed strait for the bar and called for the bar keep and got a corilian ale. as she took her first sip one of the less civilized patrons approachhed her.

 

Patron- "hey, this is no place for a lady, why don,t i take you somewhere safer."

 

Tia- "no thank you, i'm fine here."

 

Patron- "well i think you should come with me."

 

The patron then grabbed her arm and held it for a few moments when suddenly a lightsaber ignited near his throat. it was jon holding the saber standing behind the man.

 

Jon- "and i think you should leave the girl alone!"

 

Patron- "hey, I didn't know she was with a jedi!"

 

Jon-" I'm no jedi."

 

Patron- "sorry the lightsaber confused me."

 

Jon- "Well you should step away and straiten your head out."

 

Jon then deactivated his saber and took a step back to let the man pass. The guy then quickly left the cantina and jon took his place at the bar and turned to smile at tia.

 

Tia- "you know i could have handled him."

 

Jon- "Yes, But you would have killed him and we don't want that kind of attention."

 

Tia- "Like anyone cares if we kill scum like that."

 

Jon- " just have your drink then we will leave in an hour."

[Jolee_B]

JTO was wandering the halls of the Jedi Academy on Dantooine.

Then we was instructed to join the Republic in the war.

 

JTO: "The Republic is taking heavy losses. I shall go to Courscant to align with them, as you say. And may the force be with you."

 

Master Rohnjin: "And also with you."

 

JTO walked to his ship, and surrounding it were Republic Soldiers.

 

JTO: "Is my vessel ready?"

 

Captain Vorel: "Yes, Master. Right this way."

 

The Galaxy Cruiser took flight. It headed to Courscant, but the ship accidently crash landed onto a moon near Courscant. It ran out of fuel and the ship's hyperdrive has been busted. JTO headed out to the surface.

 

JTO: "I believe I'll be staying he for a long time. I must find parts for my ship, including fuel. Though I'm afraid that the Sith have infiltrated the area. It's going to be hard."

 

A rodian walked up to JTO. It attacked JTO. He decided he had no other choice, so he fought back. The rodian stopped and backed away.

 

JTO: "Why did you just attack me?"

 

Rodian: "I'm sorry...I thought you were a threat."

 

JTO: "Do you know where I may find fuel and ship parts?"

 

Rodian: "There's a dealer downtown...but beware."

 

JTO: "Why?"

 

Rodian: "The place is filled with Sith, mad Wookies, Kath Hounds, and Laigreks."

 

JTO: "What is the name of this moon?"

 

Rodian: "G:ZR 5-10."

 

JTO: "I do not understand."

 

Rodian: "It is in code. It means "War Grounds".

 

JTO: "Hmm. Well, I shall be going now."

 

JTO walked away, saying "War Grounds" repeatedly.

[stingerhs]

After considerable persuading, Cryain finally convinced the Corellian Docking Authority to let him land the Re'allis. Apparently, nobody recognized his transponder codes. They'd have to get some new, more standard codes to prevent problems like he just had. As they landed and disembarked, Roa was actually quite surprised that no one had come to greet them. All the trouble the CDA had gone through to prevent them from landing, and they weren't going to investigate. Stupidity.

 

In order to not cause a big stir, Roa decided to wear some light armor that wouldn't be as eye catching as his battle armor. As per docking rules, Roa also couldn't bring along anything better than his vibroblade for weapons. Still, it was definately better than nothing. Cryain, on the other hand, could have his full layout, since none of his weapons had been banned from leaving the spaceports.

 

Since they were looking for jobs, they headed for the local cantina. Cryain figured he could find them some kind of work from either the local Exchange boss or possibly even a local gang. It didn't matter to either one of them, as long as they stayed out of trouble with the Republic. Upon entering, they were somewhat startled to see a lightsaber being activated next to someone's throat. But, by listening in, it didn't take much for Cryain to relax the automatic grip he had just placed on his two knives. Still, he couldn't be too careful. Former jedi or not, they made for very worthy adversaries.

[starmark2k]

On their second drinks Jon and tia were going to pay for a third round. Jon reached into his pocket and pulled out the crystal and plased it on the table while he continued looking for credits in his pockets.

 

Tia- So what is so special about the crystal.

 

Jon- I don't know its some kind of artifact found on malachor V during the war.

 

Tia- Spoils of war, ha.

 

Jon- i guess so although the masters were adiment that they wanted it and the sith must not be allowd to acquire it.

 

Tia- maybe we can pump up the price.

 

Jon- maybe.

 

The bartender brang them there third round of drinks and Jon paid with the credits he found.

 

Jon- make this your last drink i'm running low on change.

 

Jon then picked the crystal up and sealed it in his pocket and went back to his drink.

[stingerhs]

Roa and Cryain sat down at a table with a few pints of ale. Cryain specifically began to study the people in the pub. Most people were either enjoying their drinks or the company of their companions. Cryain paid extra attention to the ex-jedi. He noticed the jedi pulling out the crystal and studying it. Cryain was just at the right vantage point that he could study the crystal as well. The crystal looked like nothing more than a small gemstone, but there was something about it that was slightly off in a way. Then, he made the connection between a jedi and the crystal.

 

Overhearing the conversation, he knew that the Sith might be interested in such a crystal. Cryain was no longer looking for a job, he had found one. But this wasn't their opportunity just yet. Motioning at Roa, they left the payments for the drinks on the table, with a tip, and left the cantina.

[starmark2k]

Jon and tia finished off their drinks and desided to leave they gave the bartender a tip and left the bar. they desided to take a shortcut to the shuttle port that would take them to the landing pad. They walked through a dark alley when Jon stopped in his tracks.

 

Tia- Whats wrong?

 

Jon- We are being followed!

 

Suddenly five men walked out of the shaddows, one of which was the man who hastled tia earlier in the bar.

 

Man- You shouldn't have imbarrised me jedi, so i desided to get my friends

 

Jon- 5 versus 2, these odds seem to be un even

 

Tia- yeah u could have at least tried to give us a challange.

 

Man- enougth talk, shes mine and your dead jedi.

 

The man pulled out a vibro sword while is companions drew their blaster rifles. tia pulled out a concussion granade and threw it at two of the gunman. Jon ignited his lightsaber and dived at two of the other gunman cutting their swords in half causing the two men to turn tale and run. He then pulled out his rifle and pointed bith his saber and rifle at the leader.

 

Jon- Lightsaber or blaster, i'll let you choose your death.

 

The man looked shocked ang droped his vibroblade when he collapsed as Tia crept up behind hin and knocked him out with the butt of her pistol.

 

Jon- you managed to go a fight without killing someone. well done.

 

Tia- I guess you are rubbing off on me.

 

Jon- Ha, come on lets get to our ship the authoritys can deal with the scum that din't get away.

 

Tia and jon walked to the shuttle port to catch the next shuttle to the landing pads. the shuttle arrived and they got on with a croud of over passengers.

[stingerhs]

Roa reached out and grabbed the man by his throat, lifting him into the air. It was a strange sight to see a man being picked up by a cloaked man, but it didn't last long as Roa slammed the man against the wall. The wall shuttered, and an imprint of the man's head could be seen in the durasteel. The other man watched the whole thing in horror, but suddenly, his head rolled off his shoulders and thudded to the ground. Blood shimmered on the cloaked katana as Cryain deactivated the cloaking field.

 

Roa- "Great, now they're both dead. What kind of info are we supposed to get now?"

 

Cryain- "We don't get it from him, we get it from him." (motions toward the alley where the fight originated between the jedi and the thugs)

 

They simply dumped the bodies over the edge of the tall building and walked towards the alleyway. They arrived to see a man just starting to come to his senses. Roa smiled wickedly to himself. He was going to enjoy this.

[starmark2k]

The shuttle arrived at Phoenixes landing pad so Tia and Jon got off and walked towards their shuttle. Outside the shuttle was a Rodian, Sulustian and a twi'lek waiting for the two humans, they were all wearing a similar uniform that was red with a dark circle over the left side of the chest.

 

Tia- who are these guys.

 

Jon- they are members of the black hole syndicute(sp)... The crime organisation, second only to the exchange.

 

Twi'lek (in tw,ilek)- Mr Freeman we here you have accuired a certain artifact our employer wants.

 

Jon- I don't know what your talking about.

 

Twi'lek- We have been told to get the item at any... cost.

 

Jon- as i said i don't know what your talking about.

 

Twi'lek- Please mr freeman *turn to face tia* you wouldn't want her pretty face to be ruined.

 

Jon- You touch her and your head tails will be used to tie your head back on your body.

 

Twi'lek- ok mr freeman but be warned our organisation does not like the word no.

 

The three aliens walked off towards the pads shuttle bay and tia and Jon entered the ship.

 

Jon took the crystal out of his pocket and looked closely at it.

 

Jon- there is somthing more to this than we have been told. I'll put it in the secure locker, take off as soon as we are cleared to go.

[stingerhs]

The interrigation didn't last too long. A couple of punches to the man's face from Roa was enought to convince him to sing like a canary.

 

The guy was still half-drunk, but he was apparently the type that usually got his way with most women because of his status. He was the son of the richest merchant on Corellia. He had just simply gotten upset that he couldn't get the girl. Too bad, thought Roa, after I'm done with him, the only way for him to pick up a woman is to rely completely on his status.

 

With that, Roa connected another couple of hard blows to the man's head. Blood oozed out of the man's nose and mouth, and he finally got knocked out on the last hit.

__________

 

Meanwhile, Cryain had continued to follow Jon and Tia from a distance and watched the whole conversation with the Black Hand reps. Taking note of the shuttle's ID number on the vertical tail, Cryain picked up the pace towards the Black Hand members. All too easy, Cryain thought to himself.

 

As he neared the members, he very quickly tossed a throwing knife into the back of the Sullistan's head. As the Twi'lek and Rodian turned to look, Cryain quickly landed another blade directly between the eyes of the rodian and rushed forward towards the Twi'lek. By now, the crowd was reacting to the two killings, and were backing away from the scene. Cryain grabbed the Twi'lek by the arm and discretely pushed the point of a dagger against the side of the Twi'lek. As he did this, he pulled the Twi'lek out of the crowd and into an alley.

 

Cryain fully revealed the dagger and pressed its edge against the Twi'lek's neck as he slammed the Twi'lek against a wall.

 

Cryain- (forcefully)"What were you talking to the Jedi about?"

 

Twi'lek- (calmly, as if nothing had happened)"What are you talking about, my soon-to-be-dead friend?"

 

Cryain- (with a hint of anger)"Cut the bull****. (presses the dagger harder into the twi'leks neck, this time drawing blood) I'm not going to ask anything twice."

 

Twi'lek- (much less calmly)"Fine, the Jedi has something my employer wants."

 

Cryain- "Well, what is it?"

 

Twi'lek- "A crystal of some kind. Apparently, its valuable enough that my employer is willing to kill for it. And obviously, so are you. Assuming that your after the crystal."

 

Cryain- "What kind of crystal is it?"

 

Twi'lek- "I don't know."

 

Cryain- "BULL****! (punches the Twi'lek with his free hand) You know a **** of a lot more than that."

 

Twi'lek- (recovering from the hit, now somewhat annoyed)"Now, that was unneccessary. The crystal is a lightsaber crystal. It is rumored to have been infused with immense power of some kind. My employers have stated that they would like to harness that power in... other applications."

 

Cryain- "Well, you give your employer a message: that crystal is mine. And nobody else is going to get it, clear?"

 

Twi'lek- (smiling lightly)"Crystal."

 

Cryain quickly sheathed the dagger and walked away in one fluid motion.

[starmark2k]

The phoenix flew through hyperspace on course towards coruscant. Jon and tia were in the cockpit, Jon was wondering why the crystal was so special it seened to be an average lightsaber crystal. However the jedi, sith and the black hole crime organization wanted it, but why.

 

Jon- We need some answers... get me a channel tothe jedi temple ask for master atris.

 

Tia- O.K

 

A flew moments passed then the holographic image of the female master appeared.

 

Atris-What do you want jon.

 

Jon- whats so special about this crystal you wanted me to get.

 

Atris- I suppose you deserve to know... In the earliest years of the republic there was a war between the jedi and a group who called them selves the acolite, users of the darkside. the war raged for years and then a man entered the war but not one who was affiliated with the force. he was just a human who was in the wroing plase at the right time. He mnaged to end the war and help the jediu so as a reward they created a crystal to be put in a lightsaber. The crystal would give the person who holds it a true affinity with the force, however this corrupted him and he attacked the jedi and slew many of them. The crystal also absorbed the force from those who are slayn by the saber it is fitted in and gives the powers to its user. eventually the jedi managed to retreive the crystal and it was hidden on malachor V. The sith wants it so they can absorb the force from the jedi, and the leader of the black hole organization wants to feel the power of the force.

 

Jon- so why do you want it?

 

Atris- in the hope we ca............

 

The channel was suddenly ended and phoenix was jolsted out of hyperspace. Jon and tia looked at the sensors.

 

Tia- Gravity well!

 

Jon- a ship?

 

Tia no its an asteroid but it seems to have come from no where.

 

Suddenly the proximity alarm suonded.

 

Tia- we have a swarm of incoming fighters.

 

Jon- how many.

 

Tia- over 50.

 

Jon- Bah! We can't fight that many... We have to head for the asteroid find a plASE TO HIDE.

[Jolee_B]

JTO went Downtown. He seemed very intense about anything odd going to happen.

 

JTO: I feel a disturbance in the force.

 

JTO looked the other way. He was hit by what looked like a Wookie's paw and was knocked out cold. The Wookie dragged him by his foot, and took him home.

 

JTO: Where...where...am I?

 

Wookie: Rarrrgh! Rarrgh! (He's awake!)

 

JTO: I know...I am awake, yes.

 

Wookie: RRARRGH! NHHH! HNN!

 

JTO: Calm down! I did not mean any harm.

 

Wookie: Wurf wurf. (I'm sorry.)

 

JTO: I forgive you.

 

Wookie: Nnnargh! Shar! Shar! Erf! (My name is Rukyr.)

 

JTO: Rukyr, may you lead me to downtown?

 

Rukyr: Goh! Nnargh! Shan!

 

JTO: It is dangerous, yes, but just please, I must go.

 

Rukyr: Rrggh! Niff! (Fine. Let me lead the way.)

 

Rukyr and JTO left the Wookie part of the area. JTO was suspicous of Rukyr, though. He didn't even know him for 10 minutes. But they went on.

 

As soon as they got there, a Mandolorian stopped them.

 

Mandolorian: We are advising the people in this area turn around.

So go turn around.

 

JTO: I need fuel and ship parts.

 

Mandolorian: I've got some right here...in return for something else.

 

JTO: Well what is it? I do not want to waste any time.

 

Mandolorian: I need you...to be our captain in the war with the Sith. Just for this planet.

 

JTO: I do not want to fight.

 

Mandolorian: Coward. You Jedi are so...ugh!

 

JTO: But though...would you help me find the Sith?

 

Mandolorian: I thought you said you hate fights.

 

JTO: I didn't say I would fight. I only want to find him.

 

Mandolorian: I suppose we can get you to the Sith. But we must find them before that.

 

Mandolorian: You must help us first though.

 

JTO: If that must be, me and my wookie friend will join you.

 

Rukyr: NNARGH!!!

 

They went to the Mandolorian camp, and concocted their battle plans. They were prepared, and ready for the Sith Assault.

[starmark2k]

The phoenixs sped along the asteroids surface a few meters from the ground, It was traveling at fall speed firering its turrets behind the ships rear as several of the fighters were following them.

 

Jon- I need more power to manouvering thrusters.

 

Tia- Transfering power from forward weapons.

 

Jon- Fire rear concussion missile.

 

The missile flew out of the rear of the ship and hit the front fighter causing it to exsplode taking two more out with it. The turrets managed to take out the rest of the fighters.

 

Tia- they weren't that tought.

 

Jon- There are still 50 fighters out there... We can hide in that cave.

 

The ship headed towards a large mountain on the surface and headed towards a hole in the middle of it. The ship landed so Tia and jon began to relaxs.

 

Tia- So why did they attack us.

 

Jon- I don't know but i'd bet it has somthing to do with that crystal... keep the coms open and listening to the audio traffic. I'll take a look at the crystal.

 

Jon but the crystal on the workbrench in the cargo bay, for several minuets Jon just looked at the crystal until tia came running in to the cargo bay.

 

Tia- I have some bad news and good news.

 

Jon- start with the bad.

 

Tia- There is a bounty on our heads so big every hunter from here to the outer rim will be after us... and there are 3 of them.

 

Jon- and the good news.

 

Tia- Its to take us alive.

 

Jon- small mercies i suppose... they want the crystal aswell.

 

Tia- yeah.

 

Jon- we can't go to corruscant they will be waiting for us and they will know our ships ID.

 

Tia- so what does that mean.

 

Jon- we can either hide here or try to find a way out, without being hunted.

[stingerhs]

The Re'allis took off from Corellia. Using the information from the orbital traffic control, Cryain set the fighter on the same hyperspace heading that the Phoenix took and went into hyperspace. Apparently, they were heading for Coruscant.

_________

 

The Re'allis forcefully exited hyperspace. It was another Sith Interdictor ship. This time, however, Cryain quickly transmitted the proper transponder codes, and the Sith gave them clearance. Cryain studied the sensor sweep and discovered a nearby asteroid field. Perfect cover for their prey. Cryain set a course for the astroid field while Roa studied the sensors for signs on where the ship had disappeared to.

 

The Sith helped out by providing the last know coordinates of the fighters that had been shot down. Unfortunately, none of their patroling fighters had been able to locate the ship yet.

 

Cryain headed for one of the larger asteroids. Roa then spotted trace ion particles on the sensors. Cryain headed for the location and the sensors began to pick up larger amounts of the ion particles. Their quarry was close by. Turning on the cloaking sheild, the Re'allis disappeared off of the Sith's scopes. Cryain didn't want them to know exactly what was happening.

 

The Re'allis headed for a mountain on the surface. Finally, the sensors picked up definative signs of a ship. It had to be the Phoenix. Instead of hitting full power towards the ship, Cryain brought it in nice and slow. Upon seeing the cave the Phoenix was in, Roa primed the concussion missile batteries. Roa studied the entrance to the cave and selected the perfect spot. The Re'allis fired a concussion missile.

 

The missile hit near the entrance of the cave, causing the entrance to collapse. The Re'allis landed on the surface and waited patiently while Roa studied the Phoenix through the sensors to figure out what it's captain would do.

[starmark2k]

An explosion shoock the cave and made a large noise echo through the ship. The shacking caused tia to fall over while Jon was securely seated in a chair, when the shaking stoped jon ran over to tia and helped her up.

 

Tia- What in the name of **** was that?

 

Jon- we need to check the sensor logs!

 

Both crew members ran to the cockpit and began looking at the logs of various differant sensors they noticed that a missile hit the mouth of the cave and caused it to cave in. The only exit was closed and they seemed to be trapped.

 

Tia- Now what?

 

Jon- We need to open the entrance.

 

Tia- we could fire the rear concussion missile.

 

Jon- no that would cause another explosion and may make things worse... We need somthing more descret whoever did this is still out there, I can feel their presance the anger and determination... bounty hunters.

 

Tia- so what do you suggest?

 

Jon- Well they can't in if we cant get out so for now we are safe... we should try somthing unique those holo-projectors we got on that mission a month ago Prepare the enviromental suits and place them and point them at the rocks. download the sensor information from the cave in on them, I'll do the rest.

 

Jon began connecting the sensor logs to the transmitters while tia placed 3 holo proectors outside the ship. tia then went into the ship and approached jon in the cockpit.

 

Tia-so why did i place those holoprojectors out there.

 

Jon- we are going to pull a curtain over the enemys eyes

 

Tia- Huh?

 

Jon- the projectors are going to project the image of the wall in the same place as the wall.

 

Tia- That seems kind of pointless.

 

Jon- well as we are going to move the rocks with the tractor beam it will look as if they are not being moved.

 

Tia- Well done oh great master jedi but there sensors will still show them it's a hologram and rocks.

 

Jon- Thats why we are going to transmitt information from our sensor logs on a traffic frequency which all ships accept.

 

The ship slowly began removing rocks after they turned on the the holoprojectors and began the transmission.

[stingerhs]

Roa studied the sensors. Surprisingly, all that had happened was that the people on board had come outside to inspect the damage and return to their ship. Despite expectations, Roa knew that hunting required patience, and although that was different from the combat he was used to, it suited him all the same.

 

For Cryain, waiting was a slightly different matter. For him, waiting for that perfect moment, the perfect opportunity, was apart of him and his training. Assassinations and covert ops required such delicate timing, and he was used to it. Looking out the window, he studied the collapsed entrance. Nothing had changed. Looking more closely, he noticed that nothing really had changed at all. Dust and loose stones that were falling were now stationary in mid-air. It was as if they were frozen in time. His curiousity now aroused, Cryain checked the time. Sure enough, the seconds were still passing by as normal. But what of the "falling" stones?

 

Cryain- "Hey Roa, what exactly is the Jedi doing right now?"

 

Roa- "Absolutely nothing. They haven't changed a bit. Why?"

 

Cryain- "What about the heat signatures, anything unusual?"

 

Roa- "If anything was weird, I'd say something. But like I said, nothing is out of place."

 

Cryain- "Well, look out the cockpit at the entrance. Now study some of those stones for me."

 

Roa- "They're stones. The entrance collapsed. There's a bit of carbon scoring on a couple of the rocks."

 

Cryain- "Yes, but what about the dust or the stones that haven't settled yet?"

 

Roa- (studies them further)"Hmm, well, if your trying to point out that they're not settling whenever they're supposed to be, then I see it."

 

Then, Roa noticed a rock shimmer. He knew that rocks don't shimmer, and immidiately turned back to the sensors. Nothing had changed. Working furiously at the controls, Roa adjusted the frequencies and modulations to multiple settings, even random settings at times. Then, he noticed a movement on the sensor sweep. Returning to that modulation, he varied it with a randomizing algorithm. The ship was no longer just sitting there, it was moving the entrance to make an escape. The sensors even picked up the holoprojectors that had been fooling them.

 

Cryain had been watching things the whole time, and was already making adjustments. He turned off the cloaking field and transmitted coordinate data to the Sith. Roa activated the weapons and shield arrays. If they were going to be in a fight, then they would be ready. Roa activated the targeting computers and fixed all the weapons on the Phoenix.

 

Cryain- "Give them a warning shot so that they know they've been discovered. Use the ion batteries and make sure you hit them."

 

Roa- (smiling cruelly)"With pleasure."

 

Roa fired a short burst from the ion cannons. A few bolts glance off some of the rocks that were still blocking the entrance, but the rest hit true on the Phoenix.

[starmark2k]

Tia was in the cockpit she was in the last stage of moving the rocks when the alarms started sounding. She turned to face the sensors and saw a ship on the asteroids surface uncloak. The ship then fired a few shots at the ship some of them hitting, Tia turned to the com and hit the button.

 

Tia (in to com)- Hey jon our friends have unloaked and took a shot at us i'm pretty sure they worked out what we are doing.

 

Jon (voice coming through speaker)- Quicker than i expected these guys are quicker than i gave them credit for... I'm practically on them they took up a classic stratigic possition. I'm right next to them, prepare to initiate plan b.

 

Jon was standing outside the mercenaries ship in a light enviromental suit as there was still a atmosphere that allowed for a lower resistance needed for the fabric on the suits allowing maximum manouverbility, This suit was specially adapted by Tia with a stealth generator allowing Jon to move unnoticed. Jon walked up to the ship and placed 5 large ion mine around the ship he then used the force to jump on to the ship in front of the cockpit viewing transparasteel. he deactivated the stealth suit and saw the two crew members in there he pulled out the crystal from a pocket and held it in front of his face to make sure the crew saw it, he then placed it back in his pocket and waved "goodbye" to the crew members. he then pulled out a stick with a trigger button and pressed it, The ion mines all went off. The phoneix flew over the merc ship and jon saluted at the crew to add insult tio injury then jumped up and got in the ships airlock as Tia flew the ship away from the asteroid hoping the ion mines would last longer.

[stingerhs]

Cryain struggled for control of the Re'allis, but was quick to do so with his long-time experience as a pilot. The first of the duel-sheilds was down, but the second one was holding. Roa activated the self-recharger that used the engine exhaust to run a generator. The second sheild was restored to full power, and the first shield was charging.

 

Cryain put his engines in full burn and gave chase to the Phoenix. The very fast and agile fighter easily began to recover lost ground. Now, the Sith fighters were joining in the chase, and were moving to cut off the freighter. Meanwhile, Cryain gave Roa the signal to open fire. Roa fired off two concussion missiles and opened up with a barrage from the turbolaser batteries.
