Duel at the Edge

[Dmitri]

OOC: Takes place same time as Operation Twilight.​

Geist Weiss entered the spaceport that laid on the border between Alliance Space and Imperial Space. The alchemist had come to face a challenger, an Imperial Knight named Bianca Novula.

Geist exited his ship and took an elevator ride to the floor above. The main room showed a view of the stars. Geist sat down on a throne, which was once a greeter's work station.

 

[Bianca]

Bianca Novula, Imperial Knight, took her yacht, the White Cloud, to a space station at the edge of territory. The Sith Crusader Geist Weiss had called her out, and Bianca planned to honor it, to eliminate the pesky Sith once and for all.
She left her ship and went to the room the Sith awaited.
"You're no match for me," Bianca said. "Surrender, and I'll let you live."

 

[Dmitri]

Geist laughed. "Your threats mean nothing to me."

Geist ignited his lightsaber. "Let us dance a tango of exchanging blows, a duet of battle."

 

[Bianca]

Bianca held her lightsaber in her hand, but did not turn it on. There was no need, at least not yet.
Bianca used Force Breach on the Sith, followed by Force Statis. With his Force temporarily stunned, the Sith was defenseless.

 

[Dmitri]

OOC: Geist's Master, not Crusader

Geist did not expect Bianca to open up for a Force move before igniting her lightsaber. Before he could do anything, she activated Force Breach. Geist was temporarily blocked from the Force. Realizing he had to act quickly, Geist charged at Bianca, however, she continued with Force Stasis.

Though the illusion was gone, a cloth mask covered Geist's face. His lips could be seen moving, "This isn't good. Sure you don't want to join the Sith? I could give you the tour, answer any questions."

 

[Bianca]

OCC: Meh, doesn't matter.

Bianca used a cortosis weaved chains to bind Geist to the 'throne'. Immobilized, Geist was hopeless. If she felt Geist was reconnecting to the Force, she'd use Force Breach again.
Bianca contacted Cyrilla via a secure channel. She reported her capture of Lamia Kressh's captor, Geist Weiss. Geist Weiss was known for his secrets, and Bianca was eager to learn them all, though she would need Knight's permission.

The comslink came through first to Cyrillia where Moravian heard it and sent it up the ladder. Then to The Blackheart where Misha was overseeing. Finally it went to the deepest part of HOMEFRONT and Knight stood as a black shadow for the call. She spoke with a distorted voice that changed pitch. She looked at the sith and then at Bianca as she spoke. "Marshal, we do not capture Sith Lords. They lie and breed deceptions. For his crimes against the galaxy absolve him and purge his dark taint from the galaxy." Knight remained very still as she looked on. The security measures for talking firmly in place and she was ready to watch one of the sith masters get executed.

 

[Dmitri]

Geist grinned. So this was the Knight-Commander. It had worked out perfectly. He knew that the one known as Knight was alive. If the connection stayed, he might even be able to confirm if her base was attacked or not.

Geist bellowed at the top of his lungs, "COMMENCE RAY SHIELDS! JETTISON!"

Due to earlier preparations, a ray-shield covered the throne area where Geist was kept. The seals then opened, jettisonning the room's air and those in its content, except Geist, who was protected by the ray shield, into space.

"Welcome to the end, love," said Geist. Geist placed a breath-mask onto his face, just in case.

 

[Bianca]

Bianca sensed something wrong, but it was too late. The air was jettisoned. As she was sucked into space, her middle finger was up, flipping Geist off.

The transmission, luckily, was outside the ray-shield, so Geist could not trace it.

 

[Dmitri]

Geist was thankful for his earlier work. The Imperial Knight had been foolish. No Sith played fair. He had learned that the hard way.

Geist created a doppelganger to stay and speak with Knight as he fled down to the hangar via the escape hatch. He entered his ship and set it off.

The doppelganger stayed with the hologram of Knight. "Well? Did you enjoy the show?"

 

[Syn]

Knight looked at the doppleganger and didn't change its expression. She just flickered out.

 

[Dmitri]

Geist flew off, wondering if Knight was dead yet. His operation was commencing right now, so there was a good chance the Knight-Commander would die. Geist had hoped via doppelganger he'd be able to witness Knight's death, and be able to inform his superiors, but alas Knight had flickered off. Oh, if only she knew what was at her doorsteps.

 

[Dmitri]

Just before Geist went into hyperspace, Geist sent a notice to the droids on Fallline. They were ordered to fix the observatory, so the ploy could be used once again.
