(I'm actually very much against racism, I just felt it would make the villain seem more evil if he disapproved of interspecies relationships, meaning Virul would be fine if Komad were either full human or full Twi'lek.
And JM12, think you could take the part of Greea?)
Komad was able to resist the virus this time. "Yeah, go ahead." He said calmly to his sister.
Your plan appears to be failing, Lord Tyrannus. If you continue to force the virus such extremes, his resistance will only grow stronger. Your plan needs more subtlety. Komad knows someone has penetrated his mind, so he is shunning your thoughts. Make him think it is his own subconscious, at it will be much easier. Darth Virul sent another message, this time of advice instead of disapproval.
((Don't really have much to do so i'll just watch. For now))
(Well, if you want something to do, you could take the part of Greea)
Hahaha. No. Sorry, don't play chick characters.. totally messes me up.. I'll just participate in my other .. three rp's until Mycaen is needed))
(Well, why not create a light side character then? Like maybe a love interest for Alkea?)
((Taking Greea would make it like three characters for this RP alone. If you want I will do it. Incidentaly, I created some concept drawings of Alkea. As soon as I can get them scanned and uploaded, I'll show you. They were based on what you thought of Alkonium))
I know that. One has to test the boundaries of the virus Tyrannus sent he then sent a message to Peelal to go to Amshrey, the planet in the Forbidden Stars and walk upon the surfaces. If he survived that place, he would be worthy to learn the higher mysteries of the dark power that dwelt there. He then began to subtly influence the virus that it tricked Komad into thinking that he was not there anymore.
Alkea spoke carefully for she sensed that something was not right. She said, "I know you said you don't remember brother but I would like to try the memeory technique that Master Hathera taught me. Maybe your mind does remember but you've put a block over it. Let me help you." She waited for a response.
(Well, counting Greea, I'm currently controlling five people: Alkonium, Greea, Hethra, Komad and Virul)
"Alright, worth a shot." Komad replied, building up an immunity to the virus.
((Heh, he rode with Tyrannus *to* Amshrey. :) and sure.. I guess i'll make another character))
Name: Scooter Tory (Aka: The White Jedi)
Race: Human
Age: 23
Rank/Job: Jedi Architect
Appearance: He wears a light, almost white jedi robe with leather padding on the elbows, shoulders, and knees. He wears a pair of perfectly circular glasses with a red tint and he has natural silver hair, parted on either side of his forehead. He usually wears white leather boots and white leather fingerless gloves.
Weapons: One white longsaber with a curved hilt and a short white lightsaber with a curved hilt as his other one, but reversed. They each can interchange into a doublesaber, if needed.
Items: A long white razor wire, barely visible, but extremely deadly, passed down through his family. It was originally a necklace.
Biography: Unknown. He just showed up on the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus, with a note attached to his chest saying he was different and was not good enough to be in his family. He was Force sensitive, so the Jedi took him in for training, and eventually he became a Jedi Architect, surpassing the rank of Knight but not quite a master.
(well, the Enclave's been abandoned for 4000 years, but you could say instead that they found him at the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus And JM12, it's Hethra, not Hathera)
Scooter slowly walked towards his ship on one of the many docking pads on Ossus. He swiped a card as he walked towards the bay, approving his docking fee. He put the card away into his robes and stepped onto his ship, heading to the cockpit. He fired up the engines as the loading ramp folded up and sank into the side of the ship.
It was a small, yet homey, modified version of an ancient Republic Starfighter. He lifted up into the air as the wings spread into an star formation, with three wings on each side. He spun the ship around and sped off into space.
As the skyline appeared on his viewscreen, something read on the monitor: "Request for Air Traffic accepted. Happy spacing." He smirked. Ironic really, spacing is never happy.. He laughed a little as he started flying through space. He switched on his hyperdrive and typed in the coordinates for the Corellia system (Lets say that's where Komad and all of them are.. if they aren't, tell me the system and i'll edit.
He pulled back a lever and strapped himself in as the ship made the lurch to hyperspeed.
((Actually the ship is in orbit above the planet. Alkonium, sorry about the mispelling.))
Alkea then motioned Komad to the cushions and she sat in a meditative position. She waited for Komad to follow suit.
Tyrannus was growing pleased at the immunity for some reason. He wanted Komad to build an immunity to mind attacks but the initial suspicion is there. Once activated, they run their course. With a final subtle probing, it sent the virus into full autonomy. From there it would poison the mind with thoughts of suspicion and mistrust. Tyrannus smiled. The virus would do the trick and would require a prodding every now and then should Komad fight it. The connection was made. Tyrannus could now sense everyfelling, almost as if he and Komad were one. It was a risk he was willing to take but it should work.
Greea was pacing in the quarters given to her by the Jedi. She was thinking about the rather handsome Komad. She admonished herself for thinking about it and was trying to focus on a splicing problem she was trying to figure out.
Alkea said, "Clear the mind and dwell into the thoughts that are imprinted."
Scooter's ship finally came out of hyperspace infront of a rather large ship. He felt a drawing to this ship, like a faint echo, calling out to him. He typed a few keys into his console, sending a message to the ship. "Requesting boarding permission, friendly." He typed in, slowly hovering in space near the docking bay.
Hopefully they would let him in, he didn't have a good feeling about standing still.
Mycaen walked to the docking bay and opened up the loading ramp to a small sith starfighter. He boarded it and headed to the cockpit, the loading ramp closing. He started up the ship as he turned it around and headed down to the planet below.
The small starfighter could barely take the constant bombardment by pieces of dried rock and the fiery atmosphere. He landed on a small docking pad, quickly getting out of his ship and walking away a few feet, the ship violently exploded seconds later.
Master, I made it. But I do not sense anything different...
Do not let your senses dull fool. On the surface, never assume anything. It is old and has many scarsTyrannus sent.
Komad got on the cushions with his sister, and awaited further instruction.
"Permission granted." Alkonium said to the young Jedi requesting entry.
"Clear your mind. It is like a pan of clear water. The water flows through a sieve, sifting out memories," Alkea said.
Komad cleared his mind, and soon he and Alkea were witnessing Komad's experience on the Tormentor, from being brought to the throneroom, to rescuing Greea, to the hangar, where they spotted Tyrannus driving a syringe into Komad's back. "That's it." He said. "We have to get to the medbay."
Scooter blinked a few times, not expecting them to open it up for him. He smirked, piloting his modified Republic Starfighter into the docking bay. He landed it and walked out. His pure white clothing rather blinding to anyone to see it, in the tight quarters of this dark ship.
He slowly walked towards the command deck, passing several astromech droids. He was unfamiliar with the layout of the ship. Because of that unfamiliarity, he found himself in the quarters. He sighed and kept on walking the hallway, trying to find *someone*.
Mycaen growled and nodded to himself, slowly heading to a large crater, looking down into it. He glanced away and walked towards something shining. He plucked it up and brushed the dust and dirt off of it. It was a Sith Holocron.
Master, do you know what this contains?
(you know you could put those parts in a single post, right?)
I do not know exactly, but I believe it was created by Darth Sidious, shortly after the Great Jedi Purge. Be careful, about a week ago, another Sith tried to view its contents, and now he is the skeleton lying at your feet. Darth Virul replied.
A Republic Officer spotted Scooter wandering the corridors of the Valiant. "Can I help you?" He asked.
Scooter blinked a few times, fluidly pushing up his glasses. "Yes, do you know where the owners of this ship are, sir?" He said, looking the man in the eyes.
-------
Mycaen nodded but still looked over it. Master, should I.. open it and read it's contents? projected his thoughts, not sure what to do.
"Well, technically, this Star Destroyer is Republic Military Property. Are you looking for one of the Jedi on board?" The Officer replied. "Masters Kaltas and Iazoki are on the bridge, but Komad and Alkea Kaltas are in Alkea's quarters."
"Thank you sir," he said, walking past him to the bridge, heading to to Master Kaltas.
Alkea didn't move. She was diving deeper into the memory and she touched the ugly taint that had been injected into her brother. She felt doubt and was confused. She pulled back and was immediately brought to thoughts of Greea that he brother had. She opened her eyes and stared at Komad, "You thought you didn't have to tell me?"
She said it with a tone that Komad had never noticed before.
Tyrannus was smiling. He had suspected that Alkea would be too curious and she was drawn in. Once touch by its power, it was hard to escape. He sent the impression to Komad that she was invading his privacy and that she didn't trust him. It was subtle enough to taint the virus to moved and make sure that it was stemming from his own thoughts.
Greea went out amongst the ship to search for Komad and talk to him. She was too shy to ask for directions so she decided to slice into the terminal and locate his position. She accessed the terminal that was in the quarters she was given.
"I didn't know. I felt a sharp pain in my pack, but I had no idea what it was." Komad replied honestly, but defensively as well. "Surely you believe me, it's not like I'd lie to you."
Good. Alkea may be on to us, but this may allow us to lure her to the Dark Side as well. Do what you can to spread the virus to her. Darth Virul messaged Tyrannus.
Hey, I'm new here...
Can I join the role-playing? Or is it too late?
I made up my own char quite a while ago... post if you let me join or no... I'm kinda randomly placed in the story eh?
(Go ahead, just put his/her information in the Casting Call: The Sith Resurrection thread)
(Not at all, go ahead and join if you want. We're a little far into the story but i'm sure you can roll with it)
After walking the seemingly endless hallways and staring blankly at the monotone colored walls, he finally found Alkea's quarters. He felt a faint echo in the Force, like something was not right here.
He leaned on the doorway, knocking on the turbolift door a few times, pushing up his glasses fluidly.
"Anyone home?" He said, slightly muffled since he was outside the room.
Komad opened the door. "Hello. I'm Komad Kaltas, this is my sister Alkea. I think I recognise you, weren't you my father's apprentice just before he was thrown into the Sarlacc pit on Tatooine?"
He nodded a little. "Strangely... I don't remember you.." He said, holding out a hand and shaking Komad's. He glanced at Alkea, pushing up his glasses smoothly. "Hello love, who might you be?" He raised an eyebrow, barely visible under his snow white hair.
((Glasses? Is he old? Just curious))
Alkea looked at him but was annoyed She tried to be polite, "Hello, who are you?".
She directed her annoyance to her brother to her brother, "I don't know. You never said anything about her," referring to Greea.
Tyrannus was pleased. Through Komad he saw that Alkea was starting to doubt everything that she and her brother had built up. He sent his pleasure to Virul, She has touched the taint within. In order for it to work completely, she would need to be injected but it is too soon. Komad must persuade her.
Nah, he's like 20+ he wears them because he has bad vision :). Perfectly round and 'cool', much like if you've seen Trigun.. >.> ))
He glanced at Greea, blinking a few times. "Well well..you seem to blend in well love, and you are?" He said, holding out a hand towards the Rodian, keeping Alkea in the corner of his eye.
Alkea was watching the stranger aware of a presence he gave that she found plaesing. She smiled but it was not lost on Komad.
He glanced back to Alkea, then back to Greea, his handshake offer still standing.
Alkea held out her hand to shake. She decided that she liked him and it irked her brother.
((Alkonium, check out my thread Concept Drawings. I finally did it!!))
Komad was a bit nervous about this guy hitting on his sister and his girlfriend, but decided to say nothing. "I have to go check blood for an infection I might have gotten on a Sith Star Destroyer, so I'll see you later." He said, leaving the room.
Greea followed Komad out the door. At a fast pace, she managed to catch up with him. She asked, "What infection?"
Alkea looked at the stranger and asked, "What's your name?"
"Alkea and I found out that Darth Tyrannus injected me with something while I was on the Tormentor, so I'm going to find out what it is exactly. Nothing to worry about." Komad replied, kissing Greea on the cheek and entering the Medbay.
"Is it bad?" Greea couldn't help but ask. She really REALLY liked Komad and was concerned.
"Scooter Tory.. But you can call me Scooter.." He said, pushing up his glasses. He was a legend around the galaxy, few knew his true name, and those priviledged enough to know, he trusted. The white Jedi, that thought popped into Alkea's head. He smirked, not knowing what he unconsciously did. He saved many lives under that alias, and helped many Republic ships from behind boarded and taken over. He was also a skilled pilot.
He pulled back his hand and looked her up and down, then raised an eyebrow. "So.. Half-Twilek.. a rarity.. My second time seeing one.. No offense.. they are interesting beings.."
Alkea looked at him and smiled, saying, "It's my second time seeing a nice human," she paused a bit before asking, "Scooter, not a name I've heard before for a human. Still I like it. How did you get way out here?"
"Meant to take a stroll.. but I found an echo in the Force, like something was wrong here. That's how I came here, wondering why such a pretty girl was in such a nasty place."
That was a pathetic attempt at flirting, but he continued. "So.. I came aboard, hoping to find this lady and protect her from evil.." He grinned sheepishly, flicking up his glasses onto his face cooly.
Alkea smiled, amused at the fact that he was attempting to flirt. She replied, "And what evil is there on a ship in the middle of space, a ship full of Jedi?" She was smiling and decided to tease back. Her feelings were becoming apparent through the sibling bond she had with Komad.
"Someone here is not what they seem, that's what I sensed," he said, looking around. "Anyone like that?" He spoke, pushing his glasses up on his face.
"I could be." Komad replied. The physician then scanned a sample of Komad's blood and spotted something immediately. "That can't be good." Komad commented, going back to Alkea's quarters. "You were right. Tyrannus did inject me with something, so I'm going to have it dealt with." He said to his sister.
Alkea wasn't really listening to Komad as she was staring a Scooter. She responded to Scooter, "Things are not as what they seem around here anyway. Take your pick."
Greea was surprised at Alkea for she had heard of her reputation and figured that something wasn't right but hen again she wasn't feeling right because she like Komad. She remained silent.

(aaaaaaaaah to many posts! could someone breifly tell me whats going on here?)
(well, currently, most of the heroes are on the Republic Star Destroyer Valiant en route to Coruscant, because one of them is to be promoted to Jedi Knight, so you could start out there, or possibly on Coruscant)
Your plan has failed, Lord Tyrannus. But fortunately, I have a plan B. We shall wait until the time is right, and then force him to choose between the death of his girlfriend or the Dark Side. Lord Virul messaged Tyrannus. Because of your failiure, I will do this myself.
Scooter glanced at Komad. "Here.. " He put his right, gloved hand on Komad's forehead, a strange bluish yellow light flowing out of his hand. He closed his eyes and concentrated. "L..Lord Tyrannus.. I presume. He.. you rescued that Rodian from earlier, and whilst you were unconscious.." He stopped, pulling away, his hand singing with smoke. He brushed it in the air, waving the smoke away. "I was pushed away. It seems like he's still in your mind, and in your bloodstream. Once we get to Coruscant and we have a proper medical room, i'll take that out of you," Scooter said, once again directing his attention to Alkea.
"You know.." He pushed his glasses up onto his face. "You're the most beautiful being I've set my eyes upon after leaving Dxun.."
