A look of mild concern crossed Alyssa's face.

 

"Will there be any sort of training or do we begin immediately?" she wondered. Riebe placed a comforting hand on her former apprentice's shoulder, but said nothing. A cool exhileration shone in her eyes and she did not attempt to mask it. Finally, the Sith Hunters were going back to their roots and hunting. Training or not, she would love the entire experience.

Cantina, Tatooine

 

Aren: Heh. I was wondering if you had become aware of that yet.

 

*She dials something into her wrist communicator*

 

Aren: I wonder if the names Farran Darkholme, Artemis Omicron and Kioet Csuhen mean anything to you?

Cantina Underlevels, Shadow Base

 

*A man in a dark gray uniform and a long coat is waiting for Kioet as his ship returns to the base, accompanied by several lighter gray droids.*

 

Man: Kioet Csuhen, yes? Follow me. I am to take you to Aren. Your friend is already here...

Gilian: Hunting? I think there's been a misunderstanding. We - or I, at least - must move to retrieve Gerd quickly before any more time passes.

Apartment 18987, Republic Plaza

 

*Deac receives a call from NRI headquarters' computing department*

 

Message: Starkiller, we have unencrypted certain portions of the data you provided us and... we think you need to see this in person.

Idona: Locating Gerd is our primary objective. We know that she will come into contact with these creatures in the near future. Find them and we will find her, as an added bonus we eliminate some of them and we save other innocents from being eaten.

 

Currently this is the fastest option we have...

Gilian: That is not so. I know of a being capable of locating Gerd, if she can be found at all. If not, she is also capable of finding the shifter demon that opened the portal she was taken into - the one that masterminded this whole thing. We need to find her - within the next few hours.

 

*Rwos stares at Gilian*

 

Gilian: Time passes at different rates between dimensions, particularly the so-called hell dimensions. Most likely the shifter demon picked a place where time flows faster than normal, hoping that Gerd would die before anyone could retrieve her. A few hours here could mean a few days wherever Gerd is. We cannot waste any more time.

Idona: You can save your lecture Gillian, we already know that. You know someone who may and I emphasize may know where Gerd is located in Quor'toth, which is great assuming we then can reach her...

 

I however, know of a definete way that will take us to Gerd. Yet I doubt that is enough for you come willingly. As such I'll make you this offer *looking over the group* give me at least thirty minutes to no more then a single standard hour to show this is the right course. If you are not convinced then after the time up we will put the hunt on hold and go to your contact.

 

*turning to Riebe* It is very hard to describe until you see her, but nearly everything about her makes her special. The likes of her has never been seen in this galaxy before. I'll say more after Gilian gives me her answer.

Gilian: You're too kind. Very well, I will follow you for a standard hour. All I can say besides that is you had better know what you are doing considering an hour is a precious amount of time to waste.

Cantina Underlevels, Shadow Base

 

Man: *smiling* Hardly, only backup weapons.

 

*The two enter a turbolift. After a few moments, the turbolift opens to reveal Farran and Artemis. Farran in particular looks very annoyed*

 

Farran: Kioet? And another Shadow? You need to tell your boss that if she thinks the past hour has served as anything resembling an explanation---

 

Man: I am to take you to Aren right now. She told me to inform you that she believes things are rapidly going to become clear.

 

Farran: I've heard that before!

 

Man: Well, then you can tell her that in person.

 

Farran: Kioet, what are you doing here? What is Aren sending you to do?

Irvine "Farran Darkholme, from what I recall he was the member of the Imperial Separatists, whom which from what I also recall introduced that Vanguardian armour, or how ever you say it. As for Kioet Cutshin ((spelt wrong on purpose)) at one point in time he was about to do an arms deal with Irvine Cracern, until he met an odd point in his fate. Lastly, this Omicron... Hmm. I don't quite recollect meeting him at all."

Space

 

*The Republic assault shuttles head towards the planet. The first wave break off and head in low and fast while Y-Wings strafe the area with cannon and proton bombs.*

 

Bilbriggi

 

*Agric's personnal shuttle lands outside the Imperial Palace. The Sith Lord de-barks, flanked by six black-cloaked and hooded figures, three on each side.

((Sorry - all my classes are on Tuesday through Thursday, and I had a midterm yesterday.))

 

Cantina Underlevels, Shadow Base

 

Farran: Where did you come from? Where did she send you? I want to know what she is doing with us...

 

----------

 

Cantina

 

Aren: Irvine Cracern, hm? Funny you should bring him up. You know, no one seems to know where he is lately. Strange how people can just go missing in a galaxy like this...

Deac's Apartment

 

*Deac is sat reading when the call comes through*

 

Deac: I'll be right over...

 

*Deac throws on a coat and exits the apartment, taking a cab to the NRI building.*

 

What the hell is it this time?

 

*Deac exits the cab and makes his way to the computer room*

 

Deac: All right, what is it?

Bilbriggi: Imperial Palace

 

*From outside the palace a muffled general alarm is heard, moments later the main gate opens with a commander followed by two columns of Stormtroopers flanking on each side.

As the commander walks towards Aleric, the two columns run out and form side boy's for the Sith Lord.*

 

Commander "My apologies my Lord. We didn't recieve the message of your arrival until as of late. I have been tasked to help escort you to where you need be." *Stands at parade rest with one outstreched hand towards the palace.*

Bilbringi, Imperial Palace

 

*A man walks out behind the military unit*

 

Man: Lord Agric, I presume. Have you not heard? All but three of the Moffs, and nearly all the Council, have gone missing. Nearly all those who held power under Cracken's hand have fled or found dead. We know not by whose hand. I am Leris Thiou, ranking member of the surviving Council. We have heard Lord Cracken and his entire inner circle have fallen. Is it true?

 

----------

 

Cantina

 

Aren: Scum like him? Wasn't your body cloned from his? Besides, it's a smaller galaxy than you might think...

 

*Kioet, Farran and the other Shadows exit the turbolift and enter the Cantina proper*

Coruscant, NRI HQ, Computing Dept.

 

*A technician is talking to Beler Jil, along with a few companions, as Deac walks in. A bank of monitors is covered with data, and a mass of holographic displays have been set up*

 

Tech: ...a mess of data. They seem to have recorded and encrypted everything. Thousands of experimental procedures. Like the things our department has been studying except with decades of a head start. They were studying Cracken himself since before he was born. And Starkiller and his family... *he breaks off as he notices Deac*

 

((Deac, if you don't mind I'll play a few NRI scientists, and we'll assume Beler just got called in too, to make things easier?))

Agric: I have only just arrived from Yaga Minor. My brother's command ship was completely destroyed, initial reports indicate an internal explosion. We will turn to retribution in due time. Call together what remains of the Council and we will see how best to prevent the Empire from unravelling.

*Beler turns*

 

Beler: Deac, are you sure you want to be here?

 

Deac: Can't tell me anything I don't already know, right?

 

*The techs don't answer at first*

 

Deac: RIGHT?!

 

Beler: What information on Cracken is there?

 

Deac: I think we need to answer the first question here...

Thiou: It shall be done.

 

*A man in trooper armor pushes out from the small crowd gathered to gawk at Agric. Hatred pours out *

 

Man: Don't think you can fool us! We know who killed Cracken, even if they're too afraid to say it. It was you!

 

*He fires a disruptor pistol at Agric's chest from point-blank range*

Aren: Now now, Csuhen. It would be a shame if the two of you demolished this nice new rebuilt building, wouldn't it?

 

Farran: Irvine?

Coruscant, NRI HQ, Computing Dept.

 

Tech: Well... it seems Palpatine was studying your family. They targeted you and Syrnl in particular... Syrnl was unaware. *He taps some keys on the datapad and some holo-images come up* They were trying to find out where the Darkstar and the Starkiller came from. And if they had any relation to Cracken's 'traits'. And then... they did something else.

 

*A series of holo-images of people comes up. The tech presses buttons, cycling through the images rapidly, then slowing. Update dates are displayed in hovering letters over the figures, all recent dates.

 

One holo-image is of Syrnl Darkstar, with a strange symbol overlaying the figure. The image is labeled. EXPERIMENT 041 [sUBJECT DECEASED. TERMINATED]

 

Next to Syrnl's image is Deac's, with the same symbol. The label reads EXPERIMENT 042 [iN PROGRESS]*

Bilbringi

 

*The disruptor blast bruns through Agric's tunic ans leaves a red mark on his chest. Before the trooper can react Agric reaches out and touches him on the neck, he collapses.*

 

Agric: Have this man taken to the medical bay, he has likely taken some mind altering substance to fortify his resolve. Once he is passed fit have him confined to private quarters and assigned to head my personnal bodyguard in the Palace. I will deal with him later.
