KOTOR V: The Force Plague

[ForceFightWMe12]

The man looked up from his meditations as he heard a door open and close. Three students, two male and one female, stood before him. Their faces were pale and their eyes...their eyes were empty. It was almost as if their soul and will to live had been sucked clean from their bodies. The man smiled. Perhaps the Plauge had worked after all.

In unison, all three spoke, "What would you have us do," they knelt simultaniously, "Lord Verack?"

The man smiled.

He turned away from the three for a moment, casting about with his mind, until he found a conciousness that was so tainted by the Dark Side, he could feel it burn his mind like fire.

Sinister. It is time.

Tretiak had just landed on the planet suface, with the DNA strand that his master commanded. He descended the ramp, and was greeted by Darth Sinister himself.

"My lord" Tretiak announced excitedly. "I have done you asked, here" he pulled the vile of blood from the flap on his uniform. Sinister grabbed it, and held it in his hand, he could feel the force flowing through it, raw, untapped, and untainted. "You have done well Lord Tretiak, as always you have served me with great distinction." "Grann!" Sinister shouted, and the commander came running. "Get this sample into production immediately, I want our legions of Meta-Humans, fully infused with force capabilities by tomorrow night!" "As you command Lord Sinister, with the sample, it will be all the easier." Grann responded, and took the blood DNA to his lab for immediate augmenation.

 

Sinister and Tretiak soon followed. "Master The Jedi have sent a team to search out and destroy the Plague"

 

"Yes I know" Responded Sinister Confidently. HE suddenly felt a small tingling within his head. HE stopped, Tretiak turned, "what is it Master". Sinister gestured for him to be silent.

through the force{Yes Verack, The time has come indeed.}

 

Tretiak stared at his master, slightly confounded. "Ah Tretiak, the time has come for our final victory, with an army of mutant force users, there will be noone to stand against us now." The two vicious Sith Lords continued into the labs to oversee the final phase of Project Omega.

"I can't pilot the Myriad. I am too weak." Graothar groaned. "Someone else has got to do it." He looked at his arm. "It's broken." he thought. "Look at yourself, Graothar. You already made one mistake. That mistake got Tysy kidnapped." His broken arm started to bleed."I don't even have any medpacks. I'm a failure." he thought.

[steven]

Solidus floated up to the wookiees arm and used force heal "The bleeding should stop but the arm will have to wait atleast a day before I can fully heal it." He dropped to the floor. "Sinster is going to interogate Tysy. She is the weakest out of the party. And clues on where she is going kept?"

[Tysyacha]

Tysy's mind was a fog, a thick haze. She did not know where she was,

other than another vessel. Someone had kidnapped her. The Trandoshan.

His massive, scaly green face was the last thing she remembered seeing

before a whip curled around her legs and she was taken down with a thump...

 

"Where am I?" Silence echoed throughout the medical bay. Tysy was lying

on a cot, kept warm, and it was not uncomfortable. Her arm ached with a

dull pain, as if someone had recently drawn blood from it. The Plague!

 

"So!" she whispered to herself. "Either they've given me the Plague, the

Trandoshan and whoever he works for, or they've drawn my blood to

create new samples of its germs. What am I going to do now? Surely

I can't leave the ship, except through a long walk out the airlock." The

girl shuddered. Tysy was sure that her captors were going to kill her,

now that they had what they came for. She closed her eyes and wept.

THULE(Labs)

 

Darth Sinister stood on the balcony, overlooking the labs main chamber, he watched as thousands of his new Meta-Human warriors were being infused with a force signature, by injecting traces of Tysy's replicated Dna Strand into their bloodstreams, which had already been enhanced with all kinds of goodies, like cortosis, darkside energies, growth hormones, mind wipe drugs, and mind control serum's. He smiled, as he knew that these warriors would be nearly unstoppable, and completely loyal to him.

 

Tretiak, enterred the balcony and stood by his master's side. "Ah my fine Trandoshan friend, soon my legions will swarm through the galaxy like a dark cloud of locust to a crop. They will wreak havok, and rain down destruction on the Republic. With the jedi solely focused on the plague, and Lord Verack, we will drive a vibrosword into the heart of the republic. Coruscant will fall under our might, the jedi Temple will burn, the senate will be abolished, and palace will be erected for the Sith to rule the galaxy."

 

"Your planssssss sssseeeem to be coming to fruition my massssster." Hissed Tretiak. "All people will be come expendable slaves to your will."

 

"yes, indeed. The galaxy shall no longer be a place where the Jedi shield the weak. A new Order will rise, an order where only the strong survive. Those to weak to share in the glory, those to wretched to elevate themselves, and become stronger for it, will be swept away, in a magnificent wave of glorious death and destruction. And I Darth Sinister, will stand above all, as the compounded weakness of the Republic and The Jedi crumble at my feet. The galaxy and all of its life, will exist to serve my power. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Sinister cackled evily.

 

"What of the crew the girl traveled with? They already know to much master, They have seen me, no enemy I have ever fought has survived me, I wish to continue that legacy." Tretiak arrogantly snorted.

 

"They are of no consequence. They know nothing of our plans, of my true existence, they are merely pawns the Jedi use foolishly, in this soo to be ending game of Dejarik. No, they can cause us no trouble, even should they find out about us, it will be to late, my little experiments will have turned half the galaxy into my domain by then. It is unavoidable, the republic will fall, and the jedi will die, it has been a long time coming my ever so vengeful apprentice. But trouble yourself not over this, the pawns will come to us, and when they do you will have your chance to wipe them from this galaxy Tretiak, if they survive. Your anger, and rage will fuel your powers, hold on to it, use it, never let it go, it will make you invincible." Sinister declared.

 

Power gained: Dark Fury, Tretiak.

 

"I will do as you wish my master." Tretiak responded.

 

"My master believed that all life in this galaxy existed for the sole purpose, so that it could end, he viewed it as corrupt, and unnatural. He used his powers to feed upon the force, and life throughout the galaxy. I watched as he consumed whole worlds. His powers were great, but his view was narrow. I have come to realize, that while all life inevitably ends, while it exists, it must serve my purposes. Had Lord Nihilus realized this, he may have truly been unstoppable. I have surpassed him, and will not make his mistakes. Power is not just what we wield through the force Tretiak, it is oour ability to command, to influence, to persuade others to do as we wish. For instance a Lightsaber is indeed a powerful weapon, but what is it without the hand that wields it? It becomes nothing more than metal tube. But when that tube joins with the hand, it becomes deadly." Sinister explained, as he and Tretiak continued watching the final stage of Project Omega.

 

Skills gain : Persuade + 3, Tretiak.

Skills gain : Persuade + 3 Sinister.

[ForceFightWMe12]

Verack could sense the growing amount of Force Signatures emminating from Sinister's location, and knew that the armies of Darkness were beginning to form. So then, he has captured one of the pawns. Verack sneered, and turned back to the three students that kneeled before him.

"Sit." he ordered, and they obidiently sat cross-legged on the floor.

"You," he pointed to one of the men, "Over here. And you," this time pointing to the girl, "Over there."

He had positioned the three so that they formed a sort of triangle, which he then sat down inside of. By tapping into their Force reserves, the Dark Lord could use the three, litterally, as human batteries to sustain his power.

It is time to begin.

He gathered his power about him, then cast out across the galaxy until he found a group of strong, defined Force signatures. These were Jedi, alright. About twenty, he counted, and around four or five apprentices. But on Manaan? Odd, but not unheard of. He quickly channeled his power into a tendril of strength that shot across the gap.

Come to me.

[RobQel-Droma]

Coryn ran up to Soludis, breathless, "A trandoshan captured Tysy. One of Darth Sinisters minions, name Tretiak. If we can take off we might be able to track them, but where is Kharne and Aegis? We have to take off now, otherwise we will never find them!"

[Writer]

"Before we even think about finding this girl, Tysy, we have to come up with a plan of what to do when we find her," Taa'la protested. With a deep breath, she shrugged. "But fine... if you want to run off and die, I won't stop you. I'll wait here, come up with a more organized plan and wait for a good time to slip in and slip out with Tysy."

 

She paused. "Please... listen to my wisdom." She noticed Solidus. "You're a Jedi Master. Please tell me you see the wisdom in coming up with a plan before blindly rushing into a situation we don't fully understand."

[Tysyacha]

(OOC: I know what this story needs--an HK droid for comic relief! )

 

Tysy had, apparently, cried herself to sleep in Darth Sinister's medical bay.

When she awoke, a tall bronze assassination and protocol droid towered

over her. From whispered rumors of old, in the time of her grandmother,

Tysy had learned that these kinds of droids were not to be trifled with.

 

"Greetings," announced the droid. "I am HK-53, the most recent prototype

of HK-47, a series of assassination and protocol droids. You are a meatbag."

 

"I guess I am," answered Tysy miserably, "since that's what you call sentient

beings. Other droids call them 'organics', but you seem to be a bit more crude."

 

"Crude? I prefer the term 'blunt', prisoner. Master Sinister is quite

pleased with the sample that you have provided for us."

 

"Sample? I assume you mean my blood. You drew it from my arm, didn't you?"

 

"Negative. It was not I who drew your blood, nor Master Sinister. That

task belonged to a Trandoshan called Tretiak. He is also a Sith employee,

and his contribution to our objectives has been immeasurable. As is yours."

 

"Huh? I thought you already had what you wanted. Are you going to kill me?"

 

"Chiding Answer: Oh, prisoner, you have far too low an estimate of Darth

Sinister and Tretiak. Both of my masters think you are too valuable to be

terminated simply because your blood sample has already been taken. Do

you know how much time it takes to create a plague, to wage war, or to

incubate the next generation of the Sith? Far more than you can think."

 

"Oh, really? I thought Darth Sinister was able to take the Wookiees and

mutate them into bloodthirsty monsters in the blink of an eye. Isn't that

what Sith do?" Something about this droid made her mood turn feisty.

 

"Intimidating Retort: I do not admire your flippant attitude, prisoner. Arrogance

becomes those of the Sith who have earned the right to behave arrogantly.

However, I digress. Simply turning the Wookiees into mutants is not a simple

task. Anything could go wrong, as has been proven with some of our more

feral experiments. Uncontrollability is a critical variable in any Wookiee mutations."

 

"So they'll turn on you? I mean--they could turn on you?"

 

"That, meatbag, is an infinitesimal but distinct possibility. Remember,

according to the laws of quantum physics, nothing is impossible, only

highly improbable. You'd best change your manner of comportment,

prisoner, or I shall have to tell my Masters the command of the Jedi Exile

when she sought to terminate the residual apparition of Darth Traya. Nyv'takht."

 

"No!" Tysy suddenly leapt up and lay flat to the ground before HK-53.

"Pozhaluysta, not nyv'takht! Nyv'takht rips one out of the Force, banishing

and eliminating their spirit forever. Please, don't let them do that to me!"

 

"Coaxing Answer: There, there, prisoner. What good would it do the Sith

if you and your residual apparition after expiration were both permanently

detached from the Force? It would be a great detriment to our objectives."

 

Objectives. Such a clinical term for a war, mutants, and a Force Plague.

[TreeX]

Coryn ran up to Soludis, breathless, "A trandoshan captured Tysy. One of Darth Sinisters minions, name Tretiak. If we can take off we might be able to track them, but where is Kharne and Aegis? We have to take off now, otherwise we will never find them!"

 

(( Eh? Read my posts before -_-... but since I seem to have disappeared let's just say Kharne and Aegis are on Aegis's two sentient cockpit.))

 

You have found them Kharne?

"Yep, that ugly ship we're looking at is it."

Any plan to rescue the child?

"My friend, I'm a Mandalorian, you know what my plan would be."

True. However that will not do at all... Let me contact this... Solidus...

Within a few seconds Aegis's movement suddenly stilled and even his breathing became more quiet and much less heavy.

 

Master Solidus if I am not mistaken... During my years as Zhar's Padawan I believe I met you on a series of events, and I greet you on this grim day... You can pinpoint my location using this bond which I have temporarily created, tell the Mandalorian, Twilek and Wookiee, we have found Tysy.

[Jedi Atomic]

Taris

 

Scur finished training and went to his apartment for the night.

 

Early in the morning, The officer rang into Scur's comlink, "we have a mission for you, so come as soon as possible, to the base."

[RobQel-Droma]

(((You hadn't posted for a while, and no one seemed to mention you were there during the fight with Tretiak, that is why I asked where you were)))

[steven]

Solidus smiled "Seems that the mandalorian fool has good contacts. His new partner has found Tysy's location."

 

'What is your stratigy Kel Dor?' Solidus couldnt reckonis this jedi that had contacted him so he named by his species

[Jedi Atomic]

Scur walked to the base wondering what the mission would be like. A test? Maybe it would be a real mission.

 

When Scur walked into the base the receptionist told Scur to report to the Breifing room. Scur hurried down the hall and into the room. When he walked in many pilots were sitting down talking amongst each other.

"OK, sit and listen everyone. We the Republic need some Jedi to help some of our troubles, so my point is, a well known jedi was captured earlier this morning. We need to rescue her....."

"Her?!" interrupted a man standing up.

"Yes," continued the captain, "like I said, you will rescue her and bring her back here or somewhere safe. You will all be going on the 2-man cockpit T-wings escorting some soldier transports to invade the ship and find her. After the invading group has secured and found the jedi, you will defend the transports leaving the area."

 

Everyone got up and walked out to their T-wings. Scur jumped in and waited for his partner to get there. While he waited he seen the guy that accompanied him during his training, jumping into a T-wing and noticed Scur looking at him. He yelled to Scur, "Hope to see your real combat skills in battle." he said grinning, while his partner arrived and walked up the ladder and jumped into the backseat. Scur closed his cockpit window and started up the engines and waited for the others to leave.

Thule Labs

 

Cronus walks up to Sinister, "I see you have taken my advice and fused a jedi with other humans and wookies. This army you have created, will soon not even be under your control by yours, mine, or Tretiak. I know this may sound wierd to you but you have created something that cannot be stopped. I have another suggestion though. I have been in my lab working on a device that can control people. Here it is, ill demonstrate.

"You, sith student, come here"

Sith Student: Yes Darth Cronus

"Put this on, its a new strength gauntlet, it will make you twice as strong than you already are."

 

*Cronus turns on the device*

 

Now look, i can conrtol all of his motor functions, talking and all, though you do not need to talk, it was just a feature that was put in so you have more control.It brings them to their full potential, and unleash all of their anger and everything. Ill give the blue prints and the band to your scientists and they will duplicate it. It will not take long Sinister. This is yet another adition to your army. A very nice one, might i add.

 

"I also have an idea"

"If i may take 2 battalions of your wookies. Only a small portion of your army.I want to destroy the Corus**** academy. I have inflicted pain upon the academy already but i want to crush it into my hands. I want the Jedi to feel the wrath of the Sith. They will cripple under our control, we will rule, i mean, you will rule. Though together we can accomplish many things thought not possible. But i will leave you to that and i will give these bands to your scientists

[ForceFightWMe12]

Verack, who had heard the conversation through Sion, said I can aid as well. With the combined forces of your army and the Plauge, the Jedi will not be able to do a thing. With your genetcally enhanced soldiers and with the source of the Plauge-- me --on a different planet, they will crumble. Although you should wait until your army has grown before moving against our enemies.

[DarthSion101]

Darth Sinister seemed almost amused with Cronus's request. "Very well, take all of the remaining wookie mutations, they were but the first of a greater experiment. The meta human force users are the only ones of any value to me now. Take the wookies that assaulted Taris, dispose of them as you see fit Cronus. Now leave me." He turned and walked into the main assembly area of the lab, where the last of his augmented humans were being infused with the force. He approached Commander Grann, who was overseeing all operations. "how long till my new toys are ready for full service?" Sinister questioned. "Shortly m'lord, the last battalion is just being retrofitted with equipment."

 

Sinister laughed a cold laugh "everything is proceeding as I have forseen."

 

Tretiak stepped out of the shadows behind Sinister. "Masssster issss it wissssse to allow that human, Cronusssss to attack the jedi, before our main forcesssss." Tretiak hissed.

 

Sinister smiled arrogantly. "It fits my plans. If he attacks, with the wave of 10,000 wookies, he will throw the Republic into disarray. They will no doubt believe it to be my main invasion force, and will exhaust themselves trying to stop the abhored beasts. Cronus will weaken them for my main attack forces, which will be 10 times the size of Cronus's task force. Tretiak, by morning I will have over 100,000 amplified human super soldiers, all infused with force powers, and their minds linked to me, so that they are under my direct control, not to mention the entire fleet, and Sith troopers who compliment it. Victory is all but assured,you will have your revenge, and I will have my new order."

[TreeX]

Aegis inclined his head as he spoke mentally to Solidus My ship is by far more manouverable then the Myriad, I suggest I draw away the enemy fire and bust a few holes in the enemy ship while you dock somewhere, on it, I do not sense any force-sensitives aboard but that could change, I suggest you hurry. Tell me when to commence operation 'Annoying Fly'

 

"'Annoying Fly?'"Asked Kharne, "Jeez mate, if I was still a honourable Mandalorian I would have had to kill you right here for implying I am a fly."

Hnnh... But you're a mercenary now who's gone along for the ride so you won't... Man the turrets and start blasting as soon as the Myriad is within sensor tracking, I'll do the flying.

[steven]

"Okay. Lets hope this works." Solidus turned his itention to the crew of the Myriad and explained Aegis' plan. "The wookiee cant seem to piolt. So we need a new piolt. Due to my size I cant really piolt but I can create a sheild around us using the force."

[Jedi Atomic]

(I'm trying to get to the ship when you guys do so plz launch or something)

[Writer]

"I've had enough piloting experience for this," Taa'a said. "Let's get going."

 

She headed for the cockpit.

[ExtreamJedi12]

Graothar ran to the co-pilot seat. "This will be my first time co-piloting" he thought. "but I can't let Tysy stay captured. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back. Something tells me the galaxy depends on her." he looked back on what happened to him in his life. "I already lost my father to the Sith because of a Trandoshan. I won't let that happen to Tysy." he said to himself.

[steven]

Solidus stood behind them. "Go. I will dont loose another padawan to the darkside. If sinister is smart he'll try and turn her before killing her. Lets just hope her will power is strong."

[Writer]

Taa'la lifted the ship off the ground and directed it up into space. From there, she started looking for the ship holding Aegis and Kharne.

 

"Found them," she said. "Time to play."

 

She directed the Myriad toward the slave ship and watched as Aegis and Kharne worked at distracting the fighters. Despite their efforts, a few fighters got past.

 

"Somebody get to the guns!" Taa'la shouted as the ship rocked under the first round of fire. She pushed the ship into evasive manouvers as one of their crew ran to the turrets.
