((Scar, I should point out that the sabaac-playing man doesn't actually know the identities of most of the other assassins in the room. Only Gamma isn't wearing a mask ;)
Again, posting while tired, so apologies in advance ^^;;))

Bridge
Officer: Admiral...the scanning crews seem to have located Hailfire and Cracern...
Luthen: Well? Where are they?!
Officer: They're aboard the emergency transport systems, Admiral...heading to this level!
Luthen: What?! Shut it down!
Officer: We can't, Admiral. Something's blocking the command codes.
Luthen: Then close off bridge access. Prepare ysalamiri. I want as many troopers as possible ready to intercept them. Prepare all other interior defenses. And call the remaining Vanguard to me!

Nereli: Unfortunately, we are not permitted to give out our technology to any society except in extremely unusual circumstances. However, we can provide you with a means of contacting us...

Godsheim Station
Valda to Ellela: I'm a Valkyrie *Hal and Mirra arrive* If you all follow me, dinner is about to be served.
*The four enter the turbolift, the doors silently closes and it wisks them off into the pommel. After a couple of minutes the doors open onto another corridor this one painted red with gold trim, knotwork was also presant along columns that were evenly spaced.
Valda taking the lead, takes the group along the corridor passing numerous doors until finally coming upon large wooden doors. A battle scene is carved into the doors. Two Einherjar stand on either side of the doorway and as the group approaches them, they open the doors revealing the dinning room.
The dinning room was rectangular with a high arched ceiling. The far wall appeared to be glass and had a splendid view of the nebulea. The window was not a giant pane but cut up with metal lines creating designs in it. A little above the center of the window the metal lines created teh picture of a Raven, with two swords behind it.
The room had a single marble table at it's center with eight high backed wooden chairs around it. The table was set, although no plates were present, a large chandelier shapped like the celtic triad light the room. Five people stood near the window in idle converstation, two were dressed in the blue silver armor of the Einherjar, the other three were dressed in the red gold of the Valkyries. As Valda, Hal, Mirra, and Ellela enter they turn. and look at them*
Odin: Ah, welcome.
*Valda bows and leaves the room, the Einherjar pull the doors closed behind her*
((Redwing, clean out your PM box.))
Quickly Greer led everyone to their escape ship. Greer acted as pilot, Caruso as co-pilot, and Perez as navigator. Suddenly they heard a loud explosion, as Greer turned to see what it was, he saw the Senat building in flames.
Greer: Dasken, help Perez with the navigation. They're gonna block every ship trying to get out of the system, so strap up.
((Whoops, sorry about that. :D Done.))
((another post where i don't name anyone, and you say i'm specifiing, huh red? :P
(trying not to get real into this)
couldn't someone 'reconise' someone else? and if you're talking about hired guns/assassins/mercinaries here, can i say figuratively speaking that if any assassin character that you might want to have, when told by its employer to jump, would that character ask "how high?" or just get it done? :)))

Sabbac-man "Well what have you?"
Byss
Rishtag: So, you walk into our chapel, and ask to take our holy relics for your own use? The Raging Death has already been taken. Then again...you seem more competant than your Lord... perhaps you can be of service to us. We will give you these weapons..in exchange for one thing.
You must conquer Obra-Skai, leaving its libraries and uplinks to the Holonet intact. Then, you must allow us access to The orbital Holonet satalite. These are my terms

*The Blade reappears and hands Nereli something. Nereli takes it and offers it to Talon. It appears to be a large translucent crystal ball, filled with swirling mist*
Nereli: This is a communications device, activated and controlled by thoughts. It will allow you to contact the nearest available Blades at your discretion.
F. Irvine "Let's get one thing stright, he wasn't my Lord, it was his title. He isn't even my equal. As to your terms it depends on the worth of those items. The Warhead might be useless to me, the vials possible use, but my main focas is on those data disks. But seeing is that is your terms... Give me information on 'Obra-Skai', and I will think about it."
Dasken: Right, got it. *He begins plotting a course out-system.

*Hal bows, left leg back, right hand over heart, left hand on sword hilt.*
Hal: My Lord Odin, I bring the greatings of my father, Lord Flax.
Godsheim Station: Royal Dinning room
Odin: I greatly appreciated his gift. Allow me to introduce my son Vidar *gesturing to the other man*, my daughters Svafa and Hirst, and our close friend Idona. Please have a seat, the servers will be here momintarily.
*Odin, Vidar, Svafa, Hirst and Idona all move to their seats. Odin taking seat at the head of the table, with Vidar to his right, Svafa to his left. Hirst and Idona took the middle chairs. Odin and Vidar remained standing until all the women were seated*
Byss
Rishtag: Let me tell you then of the Relics of Lokpihet. The Vial contains a collection of eggs belonging to the rare T'zvann neurological parasite. The only sample left.
The warhead is a planet busting warhead, left over from the Gonbarra crisis ten thousand years past. As for the data disk, it contains a simple program we want to upload to the holonet from Obroa-skai.
Obroa-skai is an ice planet in the Borderlands area of the galaxy. It houses the greatest library on information in the galaxy, and there is a vast holonet hub there, which gathers the information. Think what you could learn by conquering such a world. All we ask is that you give us access to the hub from there. And if you think Lokpihet was inferior to you, I would strongly advise against any such delusions surrounding us
---------------------------------------
Portal Planet
*Deac hits the hyperdrive button and his ship hypers away*
Deac: Syrnl, I think you have some explaining to do.
Syrnl: Remember I found out about Lokpihet? Well, who do you think told me? As long as there has been our family, there's been a cult that worships the Darkstar. They've been wanting to take over the galaxy for years, I was their man in the empire. The real agenda behind the experiments on the portal planet? The real reason for your body's inserted midi-chlorians, your cells accessability for cybernetics? The plan was the create a cybernetic, avatar fuelled superwarrior imbued with the power of the force. Problem was, you put a stop to it. Then there was that business with the other universe, and before I knew it things were entirely different.

Rishtag: Excellent. Remember. We'll be watching.
*Rishtag elevates himself to the height of Lokpihet's hands and retrieves the disk. He gives it to Irvine*
Use it well
F. Irvine "Just remember what you promised..."
*F. Irvine performs an about face, and starts walking back. Pulling out his comm.*
F. Irvine "Prep the shuttles, I'm finished here, and patch me through to Stormbaltz..."

*The shuttles start up, and the pilot on F. Irvine's shuttle attempts to contact the fleet...*
[Uh, Scar, just noticed the Rishtag didn't seem to offer Irvine anything. So, let's say there were 2 disks, one he wanted, and the other for uploading]

Odin: I trust you had a pleasant journey. I'm also sure you have some questions so please feel free to ask.
*Servers dressed in Green and gold armor came in and set plates of food on their tables, and filled glasses full of mead*

((Yeah, I was like.....well maybe they moved or something
Plus, how could a MODERATOR make a mistake? for shame.))
Vigilance
*Starr concentrates, letting a minute amount of gas into his body to see the effect.*
Only a minor poison. Easily resistable.
*He steps forward and thrusts his lightsaber through the blast doors, and slowly moving it in a large circle. Sensing the presence of enemies on the other side, he Force-pushes the durasteel block outwards. It plows through the middle of the several dozen stormtroopers waiting outside, who instantly open fire at the same time*

Stormbaltz: The fleet will be ready in time for your return, my lord.
What's he planning? Why Obroa-Skai? It's a neutral world, and the libraries...they'd rather destroy them than surrender them...

*Hal takes his seat.*
Hal: We brew mead ourselves, though its not as good as any Asierin. I don't believ its quite that strong.
Godsheim Station
*Odin takes a sip of his mead*
Idona: We brew many varieties of mead. This paticular one *examines the mead, sniffs and then tastes it* was brewed with a mix of fruits and honeys. This is partly has given it the reddish color.
Svafa: Of course we would never server our more potent varities to guests. Although I have to wonder, why do you say our mead is better then anything you produce?

He looks at the sphere, then covers it up.*
Hal: Brewing Mead is something of a lost art on Agamar. There are very few people who manage to brew good blends.
Mirra: Lord Odin, might I ask why you have invited us here. Up to now the Asier have not moved openly on the Galactic Stage.

:confused: Could you rephrase that sentence, JM? Pretty please? :D
*Doesn't understand what the character was trying to say ^^;;*))
Godsheim Station
Odin: You were invited here to inform you of some new developments that you need to be aware of. Idona has a new threat to brief you on, but that will wait until dinner.
To make things easier, how much has your father told you about us?
((Red: What he meant was basically about who they are ordered to kill has a lot to do with how they can kill him/how easy it'll be/what is needed, etc))
[Admiral, who did Odin put that question to?]
((Deac: A general question for anyone/all to answer. For instance Ellela may have been told less then Hal and Mirra or vise versa. So Hal would say he told me a lot Ellela woul say I know nothing.
Please note that is just a simple example))
Godsheim Station
Elella: I know only that you once went through time with my father...apparently... *she looks disbelivingly*
Hal: Know you have an extensive spy network, even in our own forces. I know your Marshal skills are pratically unmatched. I have heard much of yourself, my Lord, from my father. I know something of you culture and that it has similarities to our own.
Godsheim Station
Odin: Yes, your fathers and I did travel back in time but you can ask them about that tale. Now as far as why you are here, there are many hostile forces in this galaxy. We have kept the ones we felt that the galaxy couldn't handle at bay.
Vidar: We know feel you can handle a bit more.
Mirra: My father is currently engaged in a war with the Neo Republic. In view of the fact that Reletha Darkstar also controls large swathes of Imperial Seperatist Space my father has deemed this war our paramount concern. If we are forced to divert resources to a new front the Rim Worlds may not survive.
Godsheim Station
Vidar: We know all about the lastest civil war. That is the second reason for this station.
*Vidar takes a sip from his tankard of mead*
Svafa: We don't plan on adandoning you to fates. However, we will not automatically step in anymore either.
