Tysy nodded at Coryn. "Everything you say is true. Tysyacha Dvukhsotnaya,
Dark Lady of the Lawful Sith, was my grandmother. However, shortly after
giving birth to my father, Kilian, and his twin brother Zoltan, she died of
asphyxiation by one of the other members of her star-crossed order. I do
not intend to follow her former path, but she was turned back towards
the Light by one of the Jedi Masters who helped to rescue her and
defeat Darth Sion. I have a dark past, but that does not mean I have
a dark future by default." She gazed into Coryn's eyes pensively.
"Excuse me, Master and Mistress," interrupted a certain nervous
protocol droid, "but it seems we have made our landing upon the
surface of Korriban. I suggest we disembark from aboard the
Myriad and explore our barren environmental surroundings."
"Good idea, D-452," replied Tysy, "but you're coming with us.
Someone needs to stay here and guard the ship. If there are
any organic--um, I mean living and sentient beings--here on
Korriban, whether they be Sith or not, they might try to steal
this vessel. As far as I know, Korriban is not very famous for its
easily-accessible exits. And--we need someone more than a droid..."
"How about you?" said a sly, smirking voice. "Tysy, you yourself admit
that your combat skills are very weak. Who's to say that you won't
get tricked or ambushed upon the surface of this Force-forsaken
planet? If you guard the Myriad, perhaps you will be in less
danger than you would be if you ventured to discover the source of
the plague. If we have no ship, then we have no lifeline, no salvation,
no portal into hyperspace or onto other worlds. What do you think?"
(OOC: I'm thinking that if Tysy stays with the ship, perhaps Lord
Vereck or Darth Sinister could capture her. Otherwise, she will go
onto the surface of Korriban looking for the plague, and thus meet
our new female Twi'lek companion. Also, feel free to take possession
of "the sly, smirking voice." It sure wasn't Tysy who said that! :)
What do you think of this idea, Tysy getting captured so early on?)
(((That is an ok idea of her getting captured early on. The rest of us would try and discover the plague and find Tysy. But you could wait and go through Korriban and meet the Twi-Lek companion, then after we leave get captured. And is the "sly smirking voice" a new character on our ship, or is it somebody specific?)))
((Na, I dont think so, currently Tysy's character is a bit raw, and to play in tune we'd have a psychotic Coryn, maybe get captured later on in the story but certainly not now. Star Characters gotta stay on for a bit before getting bumped ^_- and the voice shall be Kharne.. afterall none of you lot like him... yet))
Sinister sat in a room, filled with his top officers, and scientists. They chattered eagerly amongst themselves, until the shadowy dark lord rose to his feet. The room grew silent as his staff waited for him to speak. "My Dear friends" He spoke in his familiarand cold tone. As he began his speech, the monster of a Trandoshan, Tretiak entered the meeting room, and took his place at his masters side, and folded his reptilian arms accross his chest. Sinister continued." As you all are well aware, my mutant wookies passed their test on Taris. They exceeded even my expectations. But they were just an experimental group. The true prize, is Project Omega, which is in its final stage. But I say why stop there, when we can infuse my Meta-human brutes with the force. imagine that an army of unstoppable drones, who wield the force, and bow to my will. A new supersoldier, to usher in a new order."
"But sir, it is impossible to infuse the force into beings who do not already possess it." A scientist spoke.
Sinister regarded this man with a cold calm. "All life is touched by the force, all I need is a sample of pure untainted blood, from a force user, from a powerful line, one who is strong in the force, but yet has not been tainted by either side of the force. Then and only then can the sample be converted into a serum, infusing the brutes with the darkside of the force. Search the galaxy, bring the one I require. Dispatch assassins throughout the galaxy, find me my specimen."
Kharne suddenly shivered, one hand clutching his blaster while he thought of the burning Taris caused by the Sith fleet. Without waiting for an answer he spun on his heel and left towards the exit.
Coryn angrily looked at the retreating Kharne. "Yes, perhaps she would be in less danger, but she was the one sent on the mission, and so I think that it is best that she comes with us. I doubt any of us - with the exception of Soludis - would know how to discover a force plague. But that still leaves us with the question: Who is going to stay and guard the ship?"
"We will probably need Tysy, and Soludis, they are Jedi and would sense the dark side here. As for Graothar, he would be helpful too, and I am not sure that he would want too stay. Of course, then Kharne might stay here for his fighting skills, which I am sure are so superior to ours. But I think that he would be helpful on this planet too."
Kharne smiled, "So, that just leaves you Coryn. Are you good enough to come with us, kiddo? Of course, I suppose so, since you are the important one." He said sarcastically.
Coryn managed to control himself and retorted, "As for me, now, I will let you decide. I am not arrogant enough to believe I am the best here."
"Mmm... You think I believe I'm so ignorant as to believe I'm the best in the group?" Kharne smiled thinly, "Perhaps the most expierience but hardly the best, the strong survive and the weak suffer, that is life's cycle, you never see the cannok eat the zakkeg, why? Because the zakkeg is stronger. Even if she was appointed for this mission, she is still the weakest link. Though perhaps, she should not guard the vessel... I would rather not have a dead girl lying next to where the Myriad "Should be".
Frowning suddenly his eyebrows furrowed together and he scratched his jaw.
"This... Force Plague... Does it aim specifically for Force Sensitives or those who use the Force regularly? If it is the latter Soludis and Tysy need to keep an eye on their force abilities, if I'm right this Plague would strike like the plague on Derson II, ripping apart the males before they realise they have the plague. Pah, I worry too much, you lot keep discussing if you wish I'm heading down for a look." Kharne turned his back on the murderous gaze of Coryn and headed down the cargo ramp, twirling his blasters in each hand.
"Accutaly I have seen a cannok eat a zakkeg. But I shall stay here. The force plauge only attacks the ones who use the force of light. They objectives are pretty simple. Dont use any force power and Find information on the force plauge. I would check the Valley of the dark lords."
"Well, then-what are we waiting for? Lets head out." Coryn got up and grabbed his weapons from a nearby footlocker. He looked at the rest of them. "Is D-452 coming with us too, or is he staying with Soludis? We might need some of his sensors, but then again he might be better at guarding the Myriad," he asked.
"He can go with you. Protical droids bore me." Solidus threw a com-link at Tysy. "Take this. If you need to contact me, use it. Using the force at this point is too risky"
Tysy, Coryn, D-452 and the others set out upon the surface of what was
supposedly a barren planet. However, what the group discovered as soon
as they disembarked from the Myriad was a Czerka Corporation
outpost, complete with customs officers roaming around collecting fees!
"Excuse me," said one of these same customs officers matter-of-factly,
"but there is a docking fee of 2,000 credits per vessel for landing rights.
If you cannot afford this fee, please contact Mira Handarr, a bounty
hunter over at the Czerka Cantina, for debtor's work at that facility. Do
any of you have any questions?" he asked. He didn't seem like a bad sort.
"For starters, I don't have 2,000 credits," said Tysy meekly, "and, no
offense to any of you in this group, but I don't think we do, either. If
I'm wrong, however, please feel free to pay up!" A short, sheepish laugh.
No one did. Tysy backtracked. "Um, I thought that Korriban was a barren
world, covered with nothing but tombs of the Ancient Sith." She coughed.
"That used to be true," said the customs officer, "but since we discovered
the valuable artifacts in those tombs, Czerka Corp. stood to make a killing.
Pardon the pun, miss, but we have. See Mira Handarr over at the cantina
if you're looking to make credits in a hurry. You don't have to hunt. Dancers
make twice as much in an hour, and there's not all that searching to do!"
"Speaking of searching, we're searching for information on a mmm-mmgh!"
Coryn gently slipped his hand over Tysy's mouth. This Czerka man could be trouble.
"Sorry, I only know about the credits I'm supposed to collect," said the officer.
"Good day, and I hope all of you can earn the requisite landing rights fee soon."
He turned to leave, and Coryn and his party strolled toward the Czerka Cantina.
Solidus used the com-link to talk to the Tysy and her party. She explained the situation. "A landing toll, heh? I would take the ship and fly it around for a while. That way you dont having to pay a toll. How about it?"
Taa'la was in the middle of a rather strange conversation with a pilot. Two Czerka men stood by and listened.
"So then they told me I'd have to pay them a rather large sum of money or I'd suffer public humiliation," he told her. "And I don't know what to do."
"They're bluffing," Taa'la told him. "Keep your credits. There will be no humiliation. Your reputation as a good pilot is too solid. Nothing Czerka could say about you would change that."
"Oh, we can change things, Twi'lek," one of the Czerka men growled. "In fact, we could have your docking permit revoked. Don't push us or we'll do just that. It'd be better for you if you just left Korriban and took up a career of dancing!"
Taa'la laughed. "Is that so?" She waved a hand in their faces. "Go back to your jobs... there's nothing to be gained from this verbal confrontation."
The Czerka men backed off and Taa'la shrugged. The other man turned to her.
"You're a Jedi?" he gasped.
"Was," Taa'la answered. "Now go on. Your reputation will never be ruined by Czerka."
The pilot thanked her and ran off to his ship.
There was darkness all around...the man could hardly tell floor from wall from ceiling. There was a hiss of a lightsaber behind him and he turned towards the noise. There, before him, was a girl and a Mandalorian. He thought he could discern shapes behind them, but the darkness shrouded around them. The man smiled cockily, igniting his own blood red blades. Crossing them in front of him, he spoke. "So, you have come." He didn't even try to attack, and instead gathered the Force around him. "A pity that one so young will have to die in a place like this." He fired the gathered power, using the Plauge, and it enveloped around the woman. The man beside her howled and jumped at him with a sword drawn. The man sneered and put up a lightsaber, stopping the Mandalorian's blow easily. "Pitiful." The man struck again, and again his blade was stopped, this time by the other lightsaber. "I thought that Mandalorians were supposed to be able to fight." Once again, the vibroblade whistled through the air, but the man stopped it with one saber, knocked it from his hands with the other, then blasted a kick into the Mandalorian's gut. The warrior was sent sailing through the air, landing hard on his back a few feet away. The man walked over, standing above the Mandalorian, and put a humming blade just beneath his neck. "And so ends the great Mandalorian protector."
((By the way, that was a vision. Just a little FYI. :D))
Graothar approached the Czerka guy."I have 2000 credits. I will pay the mantanence fee." he said to him. He took the credits. "Very well. It has been payed." the Czerka guy said to Tysy."There goes the last of my paycheck." he thought.
Scur hurried over to the base and the receptionist asked, "Excuse me, do you have permission to enter?"
"Yes, an officer told me to tell you that i killed the beasts in the hangar." said Scur.
"Oh, well go down this hallway to the end and he is in that room." told the receptionist as the door next to her opened.
Scur walked down the hallway to the end and pressed the switch to open the door. When Scur walked in, the commander was standing waiting. Both greet each other, "So, your the man who killed the beast/wookies?"
"Why, yes I am."
"Well, thank you for killing them, because we need to research on what the Sith used to attack us with. Oh, and here's some credits to thank what you did for us."
"You didn't......."
The commander turns around and walks to the control panel.
Scur walked out and thought. If the Sith are going to keep invading planets, what's the use restoring them?
He decided to back inside and asked, "Could I get a piloting job and train here?"
"Of course, just head to the barracks and ask the officer."
"O.K. thank you."
Scur heads down to the barracks and asked the Officer if Scur could learn to be a pilot. The Officer agrees and brings him to a hangar. When Scur walks in there are many young men sitting down and learning how to be a pilot. The Officer stops and says, "O.K., here is the ship you'll start with."
Scur jumps in and waits for the officer's command. The Officer tells him the controls and says "Once I get into that ship over there launch whenver and shoot the targets. Scur wais for him to get in his starfighter and he launches out of the hangar, followed by the officer.
Darth Sinister Entered the mines, what he saw, was the typically familair sight, of his men and the trandoshans beating, and abusing the poor fools forced to work there. He continued up the stairs, to the main watch center in the mine, as he approached the guards snapped at attention, and saluted their dark master.
Tretiak turned from the observation window to greet his master. "Lord sinister we are honored by your presence, what brings you to my little slice of paradise." The trandoshan hissed sarcastically.
Sinister smugly smiled." I have an important job for you my fine reptillian comrade."
Tretiak nodded in agreement. Sinister continued "Several spies working in the cezerka outpost on Korriban, have claimed that s rather unique band of spacer has arrived. Asking all kinds of fascinating questions about the ruins, adn the academy. Also I have felt a strong force presence there during my meditation, like beacon calling for me. Your task is simple, find the source, track it, get a sample of its Dna for me, and return here, So I may complete the final stage of Project Omega."
"I will leave immediately" Tretiak turns to Krewell "You are in charge until I return"
The second lizard nods in approval.
"You have trained me well master, I will not fail you." Tretiak proclaimed. "of course not, I have forseen your victory" replied sinsiter confidently.
Coryn looked at Groathar. "Thanks, but I had enough credits to get through that. I will pay you back; I have a lot more."
Graothar replied, "No, keep it."
Coryn pulled out the credits and gave them to Graothar anyways, "You might need it."
LS Points Gained: 20
Coryn, Tysy, and Graothar walked through the Czerka outpost. There were a few spacers here, a lot of Czerka employees hounding people for fees -Just like them, he thought- and a few aliens. Looking out of the outpost he could see some of the ruins and the academey. "I think that we will have to get outside and into the Valley of the Sith Lords. I doubt there is anything here in this outpost. Besides, I can't stand the Czerka anyways." D-452 chimed in, "I agree with him, mistress. The exit is over there, shall we make our way there."
They attempted to head outside, but, yet again, they were stopped by a Czerka employee. "Hold it there, I don't think you would be wanting to go out there. We have men working out there, but it is not safe. Unless, of course, you can-"
"Hand over 2000 credits, I know." Coryn scowled at the Czerka. "Everything is about money, isn't it."
"This outpost is Czerka's, and is in control of Korriban (here Coryn tried very hard from laughing in his face). We are excavating - "stealing you mean, " Coryn cut in - this area here. I must insist that you pay, if you die out there, it is not our fault. I cannot let you go otherwise."
"Oh really- don't worry, if I die out there, I make sure you don't get blamed for it. Now out of my way." Graothar growled at the guard, and the Czerka started to protest, but then thought the better of it, and opened the door.
Skill Gain: Persuade +1

They headed outside and came up to the door of the Sith Academy. "Well, somehow we are going to have to get through their and into the valley. What do you think we should do, Tysy?"
"Coryn, something is bothering me." Groathar said to the Mandalorian. "What?" Coryn responded. "It was that attack over Taris." the Wookie said to him."It seemed too small to be a full scale attack. Plus, Tysy said there were mutated Wookies on the surface. I have never heard of mutated Wookies in the Sith army." Graothar told Coryn.(sry about the charecter control RobQel-Droma)
"Maybe Darth Sinister wasn't trying to assualt the city completely. It might have been a test attack; Those mutated wookiees are some new edition to his army, he might have been trying them out. I only wish we knew where his base was." Coryn replied as they headed threw the old academy
"I think," replied Tysy, "that we should all watch our steps very carefully.
This academy is, in fact, deserted. My grandmother Tysyacha, the Jedi
Exile, also had to explore this place in her quest against Darth Traya.
Perhaps if we masquerade as new trainees, new students, the ruins
of this school of the Dark Side will let us pass. Hopefully, the Dark
Side presence here will mask the Force sensitivities of myself and
Solidus." Tysy squared her shoulders and prepared to advance.
Taa'la watched as Tysy and co. walked past the cantina and frowned. They were headed toward the deserted Sith Academy. As she watched them, she forgot the drink in her hand. It slipped and shattered on the floor, startling her out of her concentration. Interested, she paid for the drink and slipped out of the cantina.
"I wouldn't enter there if I were you," Taa'la called, hurrying up to the group, one hand on her lightsaber to prevent it from coming loose from her belt. "Though deserted, it is still dangerous. Creatures from the Shyrack caves and the Valley of the Sith Lords have entered through the broken doors. For this reason, the gates of Dreshdae remain shut unless fools decide to pass through."
She examined the group. "Most of you are not fools, I think," she went on. "Therefore you must understand that you are in need of a being who has entered this place... and come out of it alive." She gave a short bow. "I am Taa'la Vel."
A small Sith shuttle came out of hyperspace just above korriban. It flew in low, and landed in the small docking area of Dreshdae. The ramp extended, and four heavily armed Trandoshan guards exited, and stood at full attention. They were soon followed by a huge hulking monster of a Trandoshan, as Tretiak made his way down the ramp and into the settlement, he was in his typical full Sith uniform. He approached the docking bay customs agent, who whispered information into his ear about thecrew of They Myriad. He smiled a cold smile, bearing his mouthful of razor sharp fangs. He gestured to his troops to guard the bay, as he exited the landing zone, and made his way through the czerka settlement. As he struuted quickly through the colony, he recieved his usual reaction, sentient beings quickly scurrying from his path, he always found this to be supremely amusing. HE passed by what was the cantina, and stared at the bouncer guarding the door, the Rodian simply gestured towards the academy, as if already knowing that which he pursued. Tretiak pulled his Black Lightsaber hilt from the belt of his Sith uniform, and held it in his left claw, as he prepared to stalk his prey.
The door suddenly opened and through them stepped a Mandaloriuan and a Kel Dor, Kharne and Aegis. " You are not the only one who managed that Twilek Jedi, I had to scramble aorund that pit to find this ole ugly looking pal!" Said Kharne, punching Aegis's arm as he said so.
Indeed? Thought Aegis to the groupWhen I came I found you, you were having the time of your life shooting up the creatures!
Tysy warily approached the robed and masked Kel Dor, "Hello, my name is Tysy, who are you?"
I am Aegis Valheru, someone you do not want to cross and also a friend, mainly because you managed to temporarily cow this brute standing next to me.
Tysy distinctly got the impression that if his eyes showed Aegis would have rolled them then suddenly worked out that the sentient before them had spoke in her mind!
"What? Did you just siddle in my mind?"
No. And if I wished to I would have harme dyou and left you a pathetic gibbering mass... Then he seems to be considering, Or perhaps not... You are more powerful then you look... much more powerful... Perhaps I should explain why I speak to you like this. Unlike Malak I was not a wealthy figure to have my throat replaced, even though Malak had his jaw lopped off. I was part of bastila's strike team against revan all those years ago, I was captured when during our escape a Sith got lucky and a blaster hit my side, I was captured, during torture my overzeolous overseer struck my throat with a vibroblade, you can see what the result was... Aegis raised his chin showing a thick ugly scar from the left of his throat running to the right. I will explain my relationship with Kharne later, he has filled me in with what you plan to do and for the sake of alleviating my boredom, I wish to join you, if you will have me I will help guide you if you wish.
((Sorry for borrowing your characters ppl ^_- next time I gotta look at the coversations more... just didnt want to drag this out like on the damn ship -_-))
((TreeX, my suggestion would be to do less 'borrowing'. Let other people answer for themselves. Taa'la would not have been surprised at being called a Jedi. She openly wears her lightsaber at her belt.))
((Irritation me are. Silly moi. Counts his fingers for stupidness today, that makes 8 >_>))
Taris
When Scur came back from training they got out and and the officer said, "Wow, you amazed me out there."
"Thank you."
"Next time you will try flying a two man starfighter."
"OK."
See you tomorrow."
They both walk out and the officer heads back to the base while Scur heads to the cantina. When he walks in the cantina some girl almost knocks Scur over running out the door. Then a drunk man running, trying to keep his balance, past him knocking many people over including him. Scur forgot about and went to get a drink at the bar, with the credits. When he finished he went back to his apartment and went to sleep.
The next day he felt wierd but went back to the base and waited for the officer to come with him to the hangar. The officer came out with a man in a pilot suit.
"Meet, Rayce Farelle, he the best pilot and fighter we have and he will be flying with you in the starfighter. After they greeted each other they walked to the hangar.
They geared up and jumped into the starfighter. They started hovering then flew out of the hangar.
Coryn came up with Tysy, "Who is this Kel Dor; Is he a friend of yours?"
Kharne nodded and the Kel Dor said, "I am Aegis Balheru, a former Jedi and somehow, I'm not sure, a friend of this Mandalorian brute." Aegis added chuckling.
"I could believe that," Coryn answered sarcastically, as Kharne glared at him. "I'm not sure either."
The door suddenly opened and through them stepped a Mandaloriuan and a Kel Dor, Kharne and Aegis. " You are not the only one who managed that Twilek Jedi, I had to scramble aorund that pit to find this ole ugly looking pal!" Said Kharne, punching Aegis's arm as he said so.
"You have completely missed my point," Taa'la snapped. Her lekku twitched angrily. "I made no mentions to being the only one who managed to come out of the ruins alive. All I said was that I had and that this group would need a companion who had."
She shrugged. "If you don't want me here, just say so and be done with it. Don't go correcting me on something I didn't even suggest." Her lekku twitched again. "Besides, I wasn't talking to you. I was speaking to this youngster." She turned again to Tysy. "My offer of aid is still open to you."
((No using 'said' for the Kel Dor, I Explained! ^_^ @_@))
Aegis tilted his head to the left looking at the Twilek and suddenly chuckled, a deep, odd chuckle, My dear, noone has dismissed Kharne and I like that since Revan's time, its about time someone's not intimidated by a Grey Jedi and a bloodthirsty Mandalorian.
Kharne yawned and stretched, and leaned against the wall, frowning, "Well?" He said, looking at Tysy.
Aegis slapped him in the back of the head, You have the patience of a tukata who smells blood.
Kharne cuffed him back and said "And you have the patience of a overgrown Krayt Dragon so that evens out." Kharne rolled his eyes.
Within the presence of Aegis, Kharne seemed a lot less angry and arrogant, something many of the other members noticed. In fact Kharne seemed entirely relaxed around the others, something they had never seen before and also his personality seemd nicer too.
<Kharne gained 20 lightside points>
<Aegis gained 10 lightside points>
Tysy glanced toward the Twi'lek, Taa'la, with a generous smile. "I
would be glad for your help," she replied, "because I think you're right.
Just because I'm the granddaughter of the original Jedi Exile does not
mean that I have her power, or am even close to having such a thing."
Light Side Points Gained: 20
Then, with a savage glare, she turned to Aegis and Kharne. "As for
having the patience of an overgrown Krayt Dragon, that describes
neither one of you. That describes me. I'm not one for members of
our group fighting or acting superior to one another, and if we start
to self-destruct, I'm going to have to work hard to control my anger."

"That said, would you like to lead us through the Sith Academy?
We're not here for the precious artifacts so sought by the Czerka
Corporation. We're here for clues about the insidious Force Plague
that seems to target all Force Sensitives. Have you heard of it, Taa'la?"
Taa'la took a deep breath and let it out in a hissing noise through her teeth. "I've heard of it..." She fell silent for a moment. "You're looking for clues of it? Why? What can you, a Force sensitive possibly hope to gain by seeking out that which preys on Force sensitives?"
"We are trying to find it and destroy it," Coryn replied, rather annoyed, "Not that we can gain anything, except maybe a little safety from it. Would you want it to just stay here and have more Jedi be taken by it? What about you, Taa'la, you carry a lightsaber, so you must be a Jedi."
"Glad to meet you, Taa'la." Graothar said to her. He started thinking to himself. "Let's see, we have a Mandalorian, a Twi'lek Jedi, a Human Jedi, a green midgit(no offence if your reading my mind),Aegis, and Kharne." "I'm going to stay with the ship. I'm not much of a fighter. he said to the group.
Tysyacha took a meek step back. "I did not mean to offend you," she said
softly. "I know I'm putting my life at risk by seeking out signs of the Plague,
and also the lives of others. However, the Jedi Council asked me to help
them, and I said yes. You may wonder why we haven't asked more non-
Force Sensitives to help us if the plague only affects those who are.
"'It's about time you became like normal human beings,' I've heard
some have said, 'and normal creatures. We don't have the Force,
and neither should you.' Most of these people are jealous of our
powers, and they couldn't or wouldn't understand. This Plague is
not about depleting a Force Sensitive's reserves of power. It's a
weakening of the will, a breaking of one's spirit, before the Sith
turn the Force Sensitive to the Dark Side. At least, that's what
the Jedi Council believes may be happening."
(((Tysyacha, maybe if your in trouble and need help maybe I could help you in a starfighter bombing, with Rayce Farelle. You could make contact with a base to help you out like the Taris base and then I could or meet your charaters in the story. If i am allowed to meet your characters, maybe i could head over to Korriban on a mission and you spot me or something like that? You don't have to if you don't want to.)))
"You didn't offend me," Taa'la said quietly to Tysy. Then to Coryn, she said, "Was. I was a Jedi." She smirked slightly. "But they do not find favor with me any longer and so I wander the galaxy..." a small chuckle escaped her. "... looking for trouble."
"The Trandoshan" Tretiak crouched as low as he could get his massive form, as he continued stalking this crew from the ship called MYRIAD. He heard voices, like a group of people chatting. He crept ever closer, and ducked behind a broken down stone column. He remained there, and listened very carefully to the conversation. That was when he heard a rather sheepish looking little human girl mention something of a force plague, and stopping the sith. He knew immediately that he had found what he was looking for. HE had his saber ready in one claw, and his cortosis whip in the other, as he waited patiently, preparing to do what Lord Sinister had commanded.
Graotahr turned and walked up the hallway. He passed a broken stone column and saw Tretiak. He saw the lightsaber and yelled at the top of his lungs "SITH!". Graothar was struck with the whip and passed out.
(I'm gonna die if someone doesn't help me.)
Tretiak, "The Trandoshan" came out, and stood over the unconscious form of Graothar. He sneered full of contempt at the wookie. "Fur covered animal" he thought to himself. He continued down the path to where the crew of The Myriad stood in awe at his massive, and rather intimidating form. HE stopped about ten feet from them, and smiled a razor sharp grin, his white fangs glistening, his red merciless eyes piercing through the party like cold daggers. "Hello scum" he spoke in a cold calculating hiss. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am tretiak, Sith Assassin, and servant to the Dark lord Sinister. I give you a simple choice, throw down your weapons and give me the girl (referring to TYSY) and perhaps I'll spare your despicable lives." HE held his saber in one claw, ready to ignite, and his whip in the other.
Taa'la drew her blue saber with eyes blazing and showed her teeth in a feral growl. "You'll have to go through me first, Sith Scum!" The growl turned into a half-grin. "That's right... You're the scum!"
She twirled her lightsaber, as if daring him to attack.
Tysy, at first, gaped at Tretiak open-mouthed. Then, quickly using what
she learned in secret from her father, Kilian, she performed a primitive
version of Force Push, hoping to knock the massive Trandoshan to the
ground, at least for the moment.
Force Power Gained: Force Push
Coryn drew his vibroblades and twirled them, faster and faster, boldly stepping closer to the trandoshan. "Ok then, you will get her - Over my cold, dead body, lizard." He held one vibroblade up and got ready for Tretiak to attack, with Taa'la next to him.
Tretiak snarled in contempt, flourishing his wip and his lightsaber.
Tretiak had now ignited his weapon, and let his whip extend fully. "Good, so you have chosen death." He hissed as he stared at his enemies through his cold red eyes. "You fools, I have learned the Sith arts from Darth Sinister himself, you are no match for me." In the blink of an eye, he lashed out with his cortosis whip, striking a vibroblade from Coryn's right hand, the mandalorian looked fairly shocked, but gripped the second all the tighter. The massive beats then lept into the air with an unlikely agility, for Trandoshan of his size. He landed behind The Twi'lek jedi, and engaged her with his saber, they both displayed an impressive mastery of the blade, but Tretiak, did not seak a fair play, he sought only to obey his master, and used his whip aggressively along with his aber, Taa'laa, defended the first several strikes with ease. "Rarely am I impressed by a species with two worms growing out of the back of their head" he snorted mockingly. As he locked sbaers with the twi'lek, he used the whip in his free hand to wrap around TYSY's legs, dropping her to the floor quickly. Coryn had now circled behind him, attacking ferociously with his vibroblade, to avoid a prolonged conflict Tertiak lept into the air again, avoiding the well targetd blows of his opponents, and lept in behind Tysy, who had been incapacitated by his whip. "your mine girl" he snarled as he through her over his shoulder, and lept back into the air.
He landed back over the unconcious form of the wookie, and threw his saber at the cieling, dropping several heavy rocks onto the floor, distracting the mandalorian, and the Twi'lek female, long enough for him to dissappear.
Tretiak made his way back into the hangar, he ordered his guards back onto the shuttle. He boarded, and placed his "precious" cargo on a bed in the small medbay.
He quickly drew a small sample of her blood, and tucked the vile of DNA into his front flap on his uniform.
The small shuttle docked with the Trandoshan Slavers vessel in orbit, just long enough for the Trandoshan guards to put TySy on board. Tretiak meanwhile left on his shuttle and made the return jump to THULE, with sample, just as his master commanded. He smirked arrogantly as his shuttle jumped to lightspped.
The large Trandoshan vessel which held TySy waited in orbit, for a shipment of Czerka workers from the planet below.............
(((Tysyacha, well can I be sent on a mision to find the shuttle that your in, or something? It's gettting boring on Taris. :( )))
(Jedi Atomic, The Trandohan slave ship is still in orbit around Korriban, its waiting for Czerka supplies. They are holding TySy there, although Tretiak is long gone, and already enroute back to Thule, I have no more control over the Slave ship, and TYSY's fate, rescuing her is totally up to you guys. :D )
Coryn looked up at the retreating shuttle. Pounding his fists against a large chunk of rock, he cursed under his breath at his inability to stop Tretiak. Tretiak, I will kill you someday, you slimy garbage filled lizard. If we can get to the Myriad in time; Before that ship goes into hyperspace...
Running over to Graothar, he saw that he was being pinned down by a large boulder. Using all his strength, and partly from his rage, he tossed the rock off of him.
Attribute Gain: 1+ Strength
Coryn shouted at the unconscious wookiee, "Graothar, wake up! That trandoshan captured Tysy, we have to get to the Myriad!"
Solidus jumped out of the MyriAD. He knew somthing was going on. He saw Graothar and Coryn running towards him "What in the name of force is going on!?"
Kharne and Aegis slowly strode towards the rest of the crew, Calm yourself Coryn, you in a rage will not help Tysy's curent condition. The Sith may have captured Tysy however all hope is not lost. I had... probed Tysy's mind during our conversation and I have a firm 'latch' upon it. I can still feel her, she is not far away, perhaps in orbit around this barren wasteland, however they will not stay like that for long.
"Yep. So right now we need a plan to get to that ship and infiltrate it. I hardly think charging in guns blazing's gonna work so... anyone think of a plan?" asked Kharne.
Indeed. Didn't you say you know where they are? I can feel her but I cannot pinpoint her from the corruption of this planet.
"Oh,yeah, during the chat in the cockpit I slapped a marker on her back, just in case. SO I say we hit orbit and start looking."
"And just run off without a plan?" Taa'la demanded. "That's a surefire way to get killed." She looked up into the sky. "We may be able to pinpoint where she is, but we don't know what's waiting for us there. Send a scout first. Then, we'll have a better picture of what we're up against and we can form a plan of getting to her."
