((BD: I think you mean "Flax: With us..." and not Deac :) ))

Gladsheim Station: Jedi quarters

Valda: Yes you do. Now are there any questions?
-------------------------------

Gladsheim Station

Valkyrie *over comm*: Follow the landing beacon into the Hangar bay. You will then be taken before Lord Vidar and Lady Svafa.

Gladsheim Station

*A New Republic Shuttle drops out of hyperspace escorted by two A4 X-Wings.*

Shuttle Pilot: This is the Diplomatic Shuttle Halycon hailing Gladshiem Station. We are carrying General Tarnac Dralsson, the general requests permission to land in order to discuss the Helloki problem, with Lord Odin if possible.

((Boy, you open a station and suddenly everyone wants to visit! Admiral, I edited, btw, when did the station's name change?))

((As far as i knew it was always that... imho))

((BD: It changed when I made a typo in the begining of the thread. No one noticed, and I was gone for a while so I decided to keep it to minimize confusion. Next thread it will return to Godsheim Station :P Also If I'm correct isn't Flax's daughter still on the station?

Scar: Original name was Godsheim Station))

Gladsheim Station (or Godsheim Station)

Valkyrie: Shuttle Halycon, permission granted. Follow this beacon, do not deviate from the flight. Escorts are inbound.

*Four Viking II fighters decloak around the Halycon and lead it into the station, pealing off and cloaking when they were clost to the hanger bay.

A valkyrie flanked by two Einherjar waits for the general to disembark*

(( :D Admiral, Elella and Mierra went home shortly after the Battle over Coruscant.))

*The Shuttle ramp lowers and a single figure decends. He is over six feet tall and powerfully built in the form of a warrior, he wears Agamarian armour, a scale coat with elbow length sleeves with a scale mantle to protect his neck. His shins are protected by greeves and his forarms by bracers, he wears crossed bauldrics with a short stabbing sword on his right hip and a longer blade on his left. A full face helm hangs from the pommel of his left right hand sword while he carries a black hilted longsword in his left like a sceptre. His armour is black but his under tunic and cloak are a dark green. The broach on his cloak is bronze, formed in the shape of a Dragon's head. His blond hair is braided with iron rings, as is his beard. His eyes are a piecing blue, cold enough to give even an Aesir pause.*


*He measures the Valkyrie and the two Einherjar.*

Drago: I am General Tarnac, son of Dral. I come from the New Republic to discuss the problem of the Helloki.

((BD: I highly doubt that. Blue eyes are nothing new for the Aesir especially piercing cold blue eyes :P))

Galdsheim Station

Valkyrie: Yes, we know as much. Follow me.

*The Valkyrie leads Drago through a couple corridors, up a turbolift and finally to an office. The office has little decoration except for a large wood desk and a couple of chairs, right behind the desk is a large window with a view of the nebula.*

Valkyrie: You can wait here, the Lady Idona will be with you shortly.

*The Valkyrie leaves and the two Einherjar take up positions on either side of the door. A few minutes later Idona enters and takes a seat at the desk*

Idona: Good Evening General. What is it that you would like to discuss about the Heloki?

((So basically Drago has the eyes of a Frost Jotun, BD?))

Gladsheim Station

*The Inquiry and the Silver land in the station's hangar bays. The Inquiry's main hatch opens and a contingent of Blades are lowered on a platform to the ground. Rwos and Nereli stand foremost.

Rwos, who is tall (especially with the boost given by his large dinosaurian feet), with dark brown skin and a beaked, inhuman if expressive face, and the typical gargoyle features like pointed ears, small brow horns, large batlike wings (hooked on his shoulders and flowing behind him like twin halves of a cape), clawed hands, and a long tail, wears his familiar armor suit: a partial body suit of black leathery material and dark gray strip-armor, rounded off with a silver-colored plate chest piece, red silver-lined shoulder pauldrons, a blue waistcloth, and hair in a long, thin ponytail arching up from his head. Like all the others, he wears a Blade's axe-shaped mask, eyes covered with white contacts, and a belt with a silver teleporter at the waist.

Unfamiliar to the Aesir, Nereli stands next to him. He isn't short, but next to Rwos he appears smaller than he really is. He looks mostly human, but with ash-colored skin, pale white hair and long, stiffly pointed ears. He is muscular but thin, again contrasting with Rwos' natural size. He looks particularly androgynous compared to a human, and somewhat beautiful. His outfit is a black leathery material, with intricate designs cut and woven in it.

Behind them stand about two dozen other Blades, including Gilian - a dark but pale-skinned African human that the Aesir know from experience is a vampire, dressed in black with red gems around her throat, and a silver crescent moon on her wrist - Ida, a short-haired tanned human of unidentifiable race, dressed in blue, black and violet - and others of varying races and appearances that the Aesir have not encountered previously. One that stands out in particular is a humanoid, pale-skinned Blade in banded black leathery armor, with his eyebrows and the entire top of his head on fire like a torch.*

----------

Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine

*Aren pulls Kioet aside as he walks into the cantina, before he can become absorbed in the semi-drunken mass of patronage*

Aren: Welcome back, Csuhen. I trust your trip back went alright? You have fortunate timing - there's something I'd like to ask you to do.

Drago: I see we are blunt as ever, my Lady. Very well. The Senate is in uproar over the issue. Some have even suggested that "Releasing the Heloki" is an act of war. We have roughly ten thousand casualties from the first attack and although we currently have them contained on the planet we don't know how many there are and we don't have the experience of dealing with them.

Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine

*Behomoth walks out of the hideout and walks towards Aren.*

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Riebe glanced at Alyssa and Alyssa shook her head. Then, Riebe said, "If Godwyn has none, there are no questions at the moment."

She paused thoughtfully. "Well, there is one. I recognize you from the Jedi so many years ago. Will I perhaps recognize some of the Aesir?"

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Valda: Perhaps. Wondering how many others you thought were Jedi actual are Aesir?

--------------------------------
Idona's office

Idona: Yes, we know all of this. Now, what is it that you would like to discuss about them?

---------------------------------
Hanger Bay

*Waiting in the hanger bay for the blades was a single Valkyrie flanked by ten Einherjar. The Valkyrie steps forward*

Valkyrie: Welcome to Gladsheim station. If you will all accompany me I'll talke you to Lord Vidar and Lady Svafa.

Idona's office

To begin with I need all the data you have on them, numbers, movements, breeds, past encounters, how you, everything. Second, I need a sop I can take back to the Senate to calm them down; an explanation of why the Republic was not informed before they were allowed to roam the galaxey at will.

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Riebe nodded. "Anymore, I can't say it would surprise me if many of the Jedi that we Sith Hunters worked with may have been Aesir."

((BD: Um, you have some typos in that post that are making it a little hard to understand. mainly "how you, everything" and "I need a sop..." (please try and avoid British Slang))

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Valda:Well then, if there are now questions I'll let you get some rest. If you need anything just ask the computer.

*Valda leaves, and Godwyn turns to regard Reibe*

Godwyn: You don't seem overly surprised Reibe why is that?

Riebe shrugged thoughtfully. "Kiyala is somehow associated with them," she answered. "Though I begin to doubt that is actually her name. And I believe I remember hearing of her death at some point in the past. That was the first shock, but I recovered from that quickly as I have faked my own death at least three times."

"So others should have the permission to do the same?" Alyssa demanded, turning to face her former master. Riebe nodded, seeming rather amused.

"Indeed," she answered. "Alyssa, should the need strike you, you have permission to fake your death."

Alyssa couldn't find words and Riebe turned to Godwyn.

"Did you find no questions for her?" she asked.

Gladsheim, Hangar Bay

Nereli: *inclining his head* Of course. We are honored.

Rwos: Thank you.

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Godwyn: Oh, I have questions. Mainly I'm wondering how old she is and how much information they know about us. I didn't ask anything because I thought it would be best to wait until we have a more formal meeting.

Do you have any new questions to ask the Aesir?

-------------------------------
Idona's Office:

Idona: No, we have already provided your leaders with sufficent information to deal with this small problem. As far as to an explanation of why your Republic was not informed.

You can tell you senate that We with drew some forces, consequently the Heloki broke containment. We then informed members of your government and provided them with information on how to deal with this threat.

I do give you credit for trying to make such demands of us. Now is there any questions you have?

-------------------------------
Hanger Bay

*The valkyrie nods, turns and leads the blades up a corridor, the einherjar on either side of them. Eventually leading them up to the throne room in the pommel, Vidar and Svafa were sitting in chairs slighly below the throne.

The Valkyrie bowed to Vidar and Svafa before leaving through a side door, the Einherjar took up positions along the wall.*

Vidar: Welcome Rwos. Care to explain why there are so many Blades here?

"I'm interested to know what their interest in our galaxy is," Riebe answered thoughtfully. "If they had the patience to go through Jedi training, I can't help but wonder what they're overall interests might be." She chuckled. "I never went through that training myself, but I saw it repeatedly... even taught a little." She glanced at Alyssa. "But the underlying motive for the Aesir must surely have many differences from my own."

Gladsheim Throne Room

Rwos: They're... ah... performing an inquest on this dimension. They captured K'Warra K'laar, who was under the control of the demon Sejhan, who is involved in the Blood Scrolls prophecies as Odin may have told you. *He motions to Nereli* Sai Nereli is in charge of this inquest. The Blades here are under his command.

By the way... can you tell me where Odin is?

Yaga Minor

Cracken: Really, and here I was, thinking I was rid of you forever. A pity, really, and, in the off chance I have no use for your sith army...?

*On the Vengence, Alysara could feel the tension between the two. So, father did have a brother..... She wondered how much more she was hiding from her... and Starr....

Her thoughts fell on Starr briefly, as she wondered how he was doing.....*

Maw Installation

*Starr exits hyperspace and travels into the Maw. He travels through the black hole cluster, passing the ruins of the old Maw on the way to the sector containing the new installation.

He lands his ship quietly, and heads for the headquarter complexes, odd thoughts running through his head*

Are we still Sith? If so, why do we have peace with our enemies? If not, what does this... mean? *Unbidden, the thought of Alysara flashes into his head*

Besides that, this strange thing my master calls the Starscream...

*He remembered what he'd seen on the holo. He found it hard to believe. The Starscream was a ship, but a ship like none other...

By now, he had his own questions that he wanted to ask of Herod, the man who had been developing this project for nearly all his life.*

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Godwyn: Well this is their galaxy as well.... You say they would need patience if they went through Jedi training. If rumors for their marshall skills are correct, and we assume that they are similar to you Reibe in their life spans then Jedi training may not be very strenous to them.

What about you Alyssa? What are your views of our hosts so far?

--------------------------------
Throne Room

Vidar: Yes I can tell you where my father is. Now please answer my question. Why are these Blades here, especially considering the information you wish to discuss with us?

Gladsheim Throne Room

Rwos: Perhaps we could talk privately for a moment?

"Well Riebe's true age struck me as a surprise when the Council met last," Alyssa answered. "I guess what I wonder is, if she's so long lived, how much the same are they, when she's likely to recognize more of them. I can't help wondering if perhaps they've been involved with the Jedi from the start... and perhaps the Sith as well."

Gladsheim Station: Throne Room

Vidar: If you wish,

*Vidar and Svafa take Rwos to a side room and close the doors*

Vidar: What did you want to talk about so privately?

Gladsheim Station, Throne Room

Rwos: I want to speak plainly. I have told the others nothing, with of course the exception of Gilian. The other Blades have come, I believe, because Nereli is cautious. K'Warra K'laar is considered very dangerous, and you Aesir are an unknown factor. Combine those two, in addition to the reason for us coming here...

The Blades are in this universe to wipe it clean of "rogues" - expatriates of our universe - to investigate the Blood Scrolls prophecies, and if appropriate start diplomatic relations with the powers of this dimension. I am essentially under house arrest because I have become involved with the social affairs of this dimension. The reason I wanted to speak to your father directly is that I have rather disturbing hints of information from K'laar.

I was also told by your father that the name of the Jotuns was not to be uttered by me in this dimension. Now these Blades, except Gilian, though they know of a large part of the Blood Scrolls, do not know what Odin has told me of his portion. I have not told them of the Jotuns and I have not told them about Gerd and her role in prophecy. But they know vague hints about what the Jotuns are, and they know of Gerd - and it is because the demon Sejhan, mentioned in the Scrolls, knows about her, and them, and so K'Warra learned of her. It would appear Sejhan is hunting her and intends to kill her. He was one step away from succeeding when K'Warra was freed from his control.

Now, where is your father?

Coruscant
*Deac rises*

Deac: Well, I'd best be off. My transport leaves in a few hours and I need to get set. Take care old friend. We'll have another glass once we've dealt with whatever monstrosity's in THIS one...

*Deac salutes and leaves, heading toward the Military Loading dock*

Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine

*Kioet looks over his shoulder at the bartender and shrugs his shoulders*

Kioet: What are my orders?

*Kioet hands Aren the satchel containing the box*

Kioet: You might want to check this out.

Hyperspace: Outside Korriban System

*Irvine kept at his post, watching the slue swirls of hyper space. Suddenly his console beeps violently, and Irvine kills the hyperdrive.*

Irvine *Reading the console* "Gravity wells. Father must have put those there."

*Irvine starts pressing a few buttons and then the Llamda-class shuttle's engines begin to roar as Irvine pilot's the craft forward.*

Irvine "Ah ha!" *looking on the shuttle's sensors* "There's a gap in the gavity wells. One of the unit's failed!"

*Irvine continues to pilot the craft, and he zips the shuttle past the destoryed Gravity well generator and races towards the planet.*

Yaga Minor

Agric: What do you want me to say? Tha I will raise an army to oppose you and we will have a bloody and destructive Civil War while the Rebels snatch planets from under our noses. I am offering you the chance to destroy the Rebellion and the Jedi once and for all.

Idona's Office

Drago: Ten thousand dead are not a small problem, nor should they be brushed off lightly. *He holds up his hand* Do not tell me millions could have died, I am aware of the questions of scale here. Regardless, the only reason for withholding information about the Heloki would be if you wanted to use them, or something like them, against us in the future. Further, since you have dumped this in our collective laps for perpetuity and without warning you owe us at least this information. We could fight them without it but that would mean higher casualties and a larger group might even break containment.

If you don't want to give information about your own movements and operations then fine but you have no reason for witholding information on the Heloki themselves.

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Godwyn: Very true. I'm a little hungry would either of you like to accompany me to see one of their resturants?

-------------------------------
Throne Room: Side room

Vidar: I am aware of what my father has told you, and if you remember I'm well acquainted with the blood scrolls, at least our half. Anything you wish to tell my father you can tell me and my sister. His location isn't important but he is listening...

----------------------------
Idona's Office

Idona: Those ten thousand are dead, nothing you or I do will change it. Nor was I referring to them or their death as a small problem. I was referring to the small and I do emphasize small band that you have contained.

You by no means have all the Heloki contained, you don't even know where their homeworlds are. We have given your leaders sufficent information on the Heloki to deal with this small band, we will give you no more.

The facts of this are very simple General, the Heloki are kept under containment by our forces. A small group broke containment, we then nformed your government and the empire, by the time your Senate got around to doing anything about it, ten thousand died. We also provided intell on the Heloki for you. There is nothing else we owe you, if we owed you even that much.

If we wanted to use the Heloki or something like them against you, you can be assured that We would never have told you about them in the first place. Nor would we have given you any information on them.

Now do you have any questions?

Coruscant: Jedi Temple

*Volmount stops his speeder near the temple. He looks at the serene peaceful walls in the night sky. Whom wich he hadnt seen since his youth.

He parks his speeder around the corner. He begins to walk back turning the corner to make his way to the temple. But when he turns he sees a large field of tall grass surrounding a large building made of stone....*

Flashback; Planet Chis: 10 years ago

*In the field two teenage padawan are training with training lightsabers, one had dark hair, and the other a redhead, both cut short. The two had kept at each other, both attempting to keep at the offencive, but their clumsy styles let the other retake the offensive.

Volmount kept his distence watching the two. Suddenly the dark haired one let's out a scream and swings down with his saber, the redhead blocks it and they are in a saber lock. Both pushing agenst each other, this goes on for at least 20 seconds before the redhead pushes himself forward and then kicks the dark haired padawan onto his back.*

Redhead "Come on Sir-vin! I thought Master Chi's favorate student!"

Volmount *snapping at his student* "Bolock! Mind your tounge!"

Bolock "Master he!"

Volmount *showing his disappointment* "That is not how any student act like that, it isn't mindful of your feelings, and your focas is distracted..."

*The young Sir-Vin stands up, looking at his training partner, not happy.*

Volmount "And now, look what you've done Bolock. You're taunting will only harbor hate, hate begets hate. And if you don't stop you're going to create more and it will only be redirected at you. You can see it now... Sir-vin, go and take a breather..."

*Sir-vin extingishes his saber and storms off. Volmount walks up to his student. Before Volmount realizes it he's seeing the walls of the temple.*

Coruscant: Present day

*Volmount throws his hood on and walks into the foyer.*

Maw Installation, Main Observation Deck

Herod: Lord Hailfire! A pleasure, I am Research Executor Herod, and am most pleased the Emperor has sent such a distinguished representitive to oversee the final stages of testing. *Herod gives a bow, and stands straight again. His additude screams of pride in his work.*

Now, I assume that you have read the briefing that the Emperor no doubt gave you, and that this weapon is fully armed and operational now. We were just about to put the ship through her last paces give a demonstration on it's power, and let me tell you, we have made great strides in cutting down the recharge time down to 10 minutes! 10 minutes! the orginal design called for 15! And we think the mext model we can push it down to 5!

Yaga Minor

Cracken: Please brother, that "Rebellion" is no longer our concern. With any republic, it will again fall into decedance and once again, we will be there to pick up the pieces.

If you haven't noticed, "brother".....

The War is over.
The Jedi are no longer a threat to the Sith.

However, your Sith Army is impressive, and I must say, Father would be impressed.....

*grumbling* As usual...

Nevertheless, I don't exactly have a need for 3,000 Sith now, unless you have a suggestion for thier use?

((Cracken, see PMs.))

Gladsheim Throne Room - Side Room

Rwos: If that is how it must be. I have refrained from interrogating K'Warra K'laar as closely as I might have wished. I felt the only course of action that would remain true to my promise to your father was to bring him here. To you. Besides that, I suspect you Aesir would better understand this situation than I.

--------

Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine

Aren: Thank you. *She takes the satchel* Here's your mission... I want you to locate Farran. He has... well, essentially stormed off. He's still on-planet, but... well. He isn't quite in his right mind. Probably a result of the drastic upheaval of his life when Cracken defeated the Imperial Seperatists. I would appreciate it if you could find him. Don't let him see you, if possible...

Mos Eisley Cantina, Tatooine

Kioet: I'll find him.

*Kioet walks out of the cantina and into the streets of Mos Eisley, and heads towards his ship's docking bay*

Drago: Don't try and sell me a horse with three legs. Three weeks ago you told us that the Heloki were our problem and that you would not be holding them contained anymore. Has this situation chaged since then?

Gladsheim Station: Throne Rooom-side room

Vidar: And what will these other blades be doing while we interrogate K'Warra K'larr?
--------------------------------------

Idona's Office

Idona: Nothing has changed General. The Heloki are your problem, just not the entire Heloki civilization. I told your leaders three weeks ago the Heloki are one of the evils we have kept contained and now feel you are ready to face, my Lord Odin then said that dealing with this thread would be your responsiblity.

All of which is true, we just never told your leaders you only had a small band of Heloki to deal with. Why did we do that? The answer is simple, so your government would take this threat seriously and begin to prepare to defend itself against outside threats. Eventually the galaxy proper will have to defend itself agasint the entire Heloki civilization, for now you have this small band to deal with and learn from.

Now General, since you have no questions for me and I have other work I must get to, this meeting is over. The Valkyrie will show you to your ship. Review the information we gave your leaders and best of luck in dealing the Heloki.

*As Idona stood a Valkyrie entered the office. Idona gave a breif nod to Drago and then the Valkyrie before leaving*

Valkyrie: General, if you would follow me.

*The Valkyrie took Drago, who was flanked by two Einherjar back to the hanger bay which his shuttle landed in. The Valkyrie pulls out a data disk from a belt pouch*

Valkyrie: Take this General *handing him the disk*, it has all the information on the Heloki that was given to your leaders, plus the size and composition of the band you have contained. Your shuttle and escort have already been given departure clearance, have a nice flight.

*The Valkyrie turns and leaves. The two einherjar stand and wait*

Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

"I'll stay here," Alyssa said. "It seems like I've been travelling a lot lately and..." She glanced at Riebe as the older woman gave an amused chuckle, "... and I'm feeling a little tired."

"I'll join you," Riebe told Godwyn. "I must be used to traveling... it doesn't affect me as it seems to affect Alyssa."

*Drago turns and boards the shuttle without a word. Once aboad he nods to the pilot.*

Drago: We have clearance, take us out.

Pilot: Yes General.

*Drago sinks into one of the shuttles seats and rubs his eyes, then looks over at the woman curled up in one of the other seats reading a book.*

Sellenna: It did not go well?

Drago: Not really, they are as arrogant as ever. Do as they please with no regard for others. I don't think they care at all how many of us die, so long as we learn some lesson they wish to teach us. Had Idona given me more time I would have pointed out that we were at war when they dumped this in our lap, I don't believe for a moment the containment breach was anything but deliberate.

Sellenna: What will you do about the Heloki on C-34-T-78?

Drago: Neutron bombardment, irradiate the planet. There are no sentiant lifeforms and the planet was terraformand anyway. I'm not letting any of those hairy bastads get away. Had we known ealier I would have sent in troops, Wookies, Barabels, Agamari Houseguards. As it is we didn't.

ISD Damocles

Comm: They're...talking sir. We've been reassigned.

Stormbaltz: I see. We're no longer wanted in this new empire. Where too now then, Lieutenant?

Comm: We're doing a houseclearing mission at an old Research base of ours in neutral space. We think the Republic's going to send their own team.

Stormbaltz: Have us hyper out. We're not going to let the Rebels get hold of whatever's there.

I have a bad feeling about this. Nothing good ever comes out of these bases.

((BD: Did you mean "so long as we learn some lesson they wish to teach us."? Side note, I do find Drago calling the Aesir arrogant this time rather amusing. :)))

Gladsheim Station:

*Idona was walking along a corridor when she ran into Valda.*

Idona: Good evening, where are you off to?

Valda: I'm just about to get something to eat. Care to join me?

Idona: Sure, the troop reviews can wait a little while longer. How did welcoming the Jedi go?

Valda: Well, kept my answers short and very crips but that didn't get to them. Oh hunter Reibe is with the two masters.

Idona: Really? Surprised I wasn't informed. How did she react to seeing you again?

Valda: She took it in stride. How the meeting go with Drago?

Idona: As well as to be expected from a meeting with him. He demanded information, I told him no and cut the meeting short. I might have given him some more info on the Heloki if he actually asked for our help.

Valda: To bad, well we're here.

*Valda and Idona walked into a large open arch. Inside was a large busy resturant, soothing hammered dulicmer music was playing with a variety of other instruments, there was a low level buzz of converstation.

Valda and Idona stood just in the doorway, waiting for a table to open up for them*
------------------------
Gladsheim Station: Jedi Quarters

Godwyn: Then shall we?

*Godwyn and Reibe walked along the corridors looking for a resturant when Godwyn saw Valda standing in the archway*

Godwyn: Well this is suppose to be a resturant, and there is Kiyala. Want to see if she would like some company?

"Another I am more familiar with is with her," Riebe observed. "Yes, let us see if they'd like company."

Coruscant: Jedi Temple

*Volmount walks into the large halls of the Temple. There were a few droids scurrying about. A few padawans talking to one another, but otherwise a quiet night.

Volmount hears a buzz on his belt. He walks to an alcove and pulls out a holocom, which transmits to his shuttle, then transmits to Horris.

He turns it on and the image of a hoodded Jedi appears.*

Holograph *female's voice* "Master Volmount, I was told that your visit to Coruscant will take a while, yes?"

Volmount "Yes my old friend. I'm afriad that young Sir-vin wasn't able to make proper relations with the new order."

Jedi "So, how long has it been since you stood in those walls. End of the Clone Wars was it?"

Volmount "Not important now."

Jedi *laughs* "Well if you haven't noticed yet Coruscant runs their daytimes a bit earilyer then you'd see on Horris."

Volmount "I know. There's always someone up. If not I'll just come back in the morning."

Jedi "And what about young Sir-Vin?"

Volmount "Don't know yet. I no longer sense Chi. I don't know yet."

*Volmount turns off the holocom, and puts it away*

Gladsheim Station: Resturant

*Godwyn and Reibe approach Valda and Idona.*

Godwyn: Excuse me my ladies would you care if we joined you?

*Idona glanced quickly over at Valda*

Idona: Sure, it would be our pleasure. Nice to see you again Reibe.

*A droid walks up shortly after*

Droid: If my ladies, and master jedi would follow me I'll show you to your table.

*The droid leads the quartet through a curving line of tables before coming a round table in the back corner.*

Droid: Your waiter will be with you shortly, have a nice evening.

*The droid left quickly as everyone sat down*

Idona *after everyone was seated*: I hope you are having a pleasant stay so far. How do you like our station?

Riebe smiled. "The station is quite impressive... though I must admit the station itself failed to attract my attention so much as the two of you." She turned to Godwyn. "You've met Kiyala. The other is Tassia."

Turning back to Idona and Valda, she continued. "After searching my memory, I can distinctly remember announcements of the deaths of both of you." With a chuckle, she added, "But to find you both alive now is not so surprising as it may have been... had I not also been assumed dead."

Gladsheim Station - Throne Room

Rwos: K'Warra is under containment. He's on the ship Silver and cannot be moved. Blades would be present during the interrogation.

----------

Mos Eisley, Tatooine

*Farran walks along the dusty streets of Mos Eisley, fuming, Artemis following him*

Farran: These thrice-damned suns. I'm sick of this dustball. I'm sick of this goddamned Shadow, sick of her manipulating us, keeping us at her beck and call, taunting us with the display of her power...

Artemis: Farran, wait, think about this. Where else do we have to go?

Farran: Anywhere but here. Start over on some backwater planet... some other backwater planet.

Artemis: But if what Aren said was true... besides the Executioners could still be looking for you...

Farran: Let them! It'd be about goddamned time.

----------

Maw Installation, Main Observation Deck

Starr: That is all very well, Research Executor. But I would prefer you explained the status of the... most interesting power system this Starscream has been built around. I understand that you have 'cultured' a massive organic-technological component to this ship... including the power source, and the majority of the ship's inner workings, eliminating the need for 90% of the standard Destroyer's crew, and, coupled with advances in technology research, increasing the possible weapons power by a factor of several thousand percent. That aside... am I to understand that this Starscream is an organism - that it is, in actuality, a living thing?

*Herod nodded, though he thought that the Emperor's representitive would be more.... intelligent. He was careful to try not to show his contempt. He remembered several researchers under the first Emperor who showed that contempt to Lord Vader that meet an... untimely end.*

Herod: The organic-technological power system is actually a living organism. It was engineered in this very facility, as Cracken wished to find a new power source for the future designs of the Crimson Star, or perhaps... *his eyes gleemed* another, more powerful Death Star.

Where a standerd power generator is your standered hypermatter annihilator, like in your Star Destroyers, this actually is an organism that is a self feeding being. It re-uses it's waste as food, and generates 1,000,000 times the power of the Crimson Stars' reactor. It's a wonderful self sustatining system. Once we began to feed it, we simply let it run.

Now, because its' a living being, many of the ship functions have been automated by the organism itself. We bio-engineered it to need similar living enviroment to humans, and it provides a proper breathing atmosphere for the few crew needed, and is also a air scrubber, recycling the air. It also eats the waste those few generate, thus, the need for large scale garbage disposals is eliminated.

The superlaser itself has been streamlined to use all this power more efficiantly. The charge batteries have been made vastly more efficiant in capacity since Endor, thus, we can fire the laser at least 10 times under powered, and 5 times at full power. To recharge it takes, as I said before 10 minutes, but I believe that future cultures of this being can be made genetically better, and the technology behind the superlaser improved where we can have near constant dischargings at full power.

Lastly, this organism is not sentiant. It obeys the will of the Imperial Family alone. Which means.... also you.

*Outside, the Starscream was moving into position, around it, arrayed several ships of varying class, from Star Destroyers to smaller Cruisers......*

Yaga Minor

Agric: Well if you're not up to fighting a war at the moment I suppose we could use them as agents to undermine the Rebellion, I'm sorry, Republic and spped up the inevitable.

Korriban

*Irvine's commandeered shuttle touches down a few miles from the temple. Irvine leaves the cockpit and walks to the cargo bay, opening the ramp while he do so.

He steps out of the ship and looks up high at the temple, and the ledge that Cracken and Starr jumped on a single bound, while leaving him on the ground having to climb up. He didn't think it wasn't as much as a task now.

He takes a step onto the tainted ground of the planet, and a familar sensation of coldness crawls its way up Irvine's spine. He staggers a few steps, regaining his composure. He walks up to the wall face and looks up once again, detrimination was on his face, then he calms it, closing his eyes.

Then he opens then again, clam. He crouches then leaps into the air having the force assist his ascent. He gets to about as high as being able to grasp the ledge. He grabs on and kicks off of the wall and flips onto the ledge.

He stands up brushing himself off he walks in...*

Coruscant, Tower Overlooking Docks

*Gamma crouches over a sniper rifle, taking direct aim at Deac's head. He puts his finger on the trigger when he is suddenly hit on the head by a large fist. He rolls to the side and looks up to see...Deac*

Gamma: What?! What are you meant to be?

Omega: You will not carry out the purpose I was created for.

Gamma: He has to be destroyed! I am the superior model! Your project is over!

Omega: The project is over. I am tying up all the loose ends. I was created to kill Deac Starkiller and all remaining specimins from the Avatar project. We three are all that remain.

*Gamma fires his blaster pistol at Omega, who shrugs it off as a personal shield shimmers*

Gamma: None of us had...none of us had that augmentation! There were only two viable samples! Alpha was a failure.

Omega: Your mistake was to assume I am human. * He punches Gamma in the stomach*
