Impatience in the Armpit of the Galaxy (Ask/ Shade)

[Trakon]

"Come now, we aren't all amatuers." Basilak was running, easily keeping pace with the other two. He wouldn't use his lightsaber yet. The Force was with him for now.

"Here now?" Basilak asked, as they began to slow.

 

[Demiurge]

Of all the planets in Hutt Space, Tatooine was probably as close to rock bottom as you could go. River had been there many times before, and it was still as she remembered; little more than endless dunes and the relentless heat of two brutal, scorching suns. All this was still excluding the scum that occupied the planet, and not just referring to the Hutts.

It was like the entire galaxy's greatest cluster of worthless sentient trash gathered on the galaxy's worst backwater planet. In a sense, it was almost poetic. As much as she despised it, River traveled back to the world of dune seas. She wore a long black overcoat, as anyone holding a lightsaber quickly became a lusted target. There was a beacon used by the Shade Order that had become active.

She didn't know for sure, but it was assumed by many, including the Shade Knights, that the Shade Order had dissolved, disbanded, or something to that effect. The fact that a beacon used by Shade Knights became active was a perplexing development, to say the least. Upon arrival and shortly before the beacon died, River noticed several individuals, neither of whom she'd seen before. One thing that was for certain was that they were Force sensitives.

As a Miraluka, River saw on a higher plane than most. Though all lifeforms emitted an aura of sorts, beings sensitive to the Force emitted an aura greater than others. It was like comparing the light of a fire to the light of a star. It was unmistakable. Not knowing who they were, River at first decided to keep a moderate distance, though saw it was a redundant plan, as she would no doubt be sensed eventually. Still, she kept her distance.

Their alignments were nothing out of the ordinary, and River could discern they weren't servants of the light or dark. However, she hadn't an idea who they were, as it could have meant many things. The Shade Order was gone according to her knowledge, and the Jedi Order wouldn't step foot on Tatooine in 1000 lightyears, especially considering they were effectively at war with the Hutts. Upon seeing them leave, River followed them anyways, crossing over rooftops, though far behind enough that she wouldn't be detected. At least not immediately.

 

[Trakon]

"Stop. We're being followed." Basilak turned and saw a being with eyes covered. Being a Miralaku himself, he could see her and could tell she wasn't a threat. In fact.....

Miralaku, what is your name? Basilak sent out the thought to her.

 

[Teck923]

Draven saw a gathering of these knights, he was amazed, he too was a Miraluke seeing his teacher and the other three. He saw how quick Valek was running and moving, he was in disbelief

 

[Inferno]

Aden was starting to become concerned at the growing number of individuals that were gathering at his location. His party was already large and a 4th or 5th individual beyond anything he could have dreamed of. He turned to everyone including the individual that was pursueing him. He was going to have to assume for now that the Miraluka was on his side.

"From this point on we don't speak if communication is needed tell it to each telepathically."

Aden soon after stopped at the edge of a builinding and looked at the Spaceport hanger. Not wanting to attract any attention from the prying eyes of the public he used the public doorway on the roof to walk down swiftley to the ground floor and outside.

"Ok my friends we arent going in the front door this time. We're going to to use yet another alleyway and cut our way in directly into the hanger from the wall. I'll do the cutting of the wall. I need someone to knock out the communication tower, another to knock out the electrical, and another to lookout. Got any takers?"

Aden turned to his small task force for such a sinple mission. A mission that didn't even pay it was just something that he gathered and designed himself. Aden cracked a smile as he lnew this mission was already a pracrically completed.

 

[Teck923]

Draven telepathically said something to Valek. "Teacher, I can see 5 grey aura's is this a Shade mission? I am simply amazed by the power and abillity."

 

[Phil]

Valek did not like this sudden gathering of other Shade members in the area, it was almost like they were a beacon. He figured it was best to get this over with and get the hell out of here before someone caught on to what they were doing. Ignoring Draven's message at the moment, figuring there were more important things to worry about now, he stepped forward and sent a message to Aden and the others around him.

"I got the communications."

Valek answered, unholstering his magnum as he checked it's chamber and saw it was loaded and ready to go. He was not going to use his lightsaber or powers unless he absolutely needed too. Valek was hoping that the others would act and fight like mercs would and not how Force Users would, all to avoid giving anyone here the hint they were not who they seemed.

 

[Teck923]

Draven had a feeling something was going to happen, he felt an odd feeling, Valek ignored him he knew he was getting in the way.

Draven kept his hand on his blaster just guarding the ship, he didn't trust this planet. He knew there were scum to be everywhere he saw two human merchs walk by him slowly they gazed at him as if he was target or easy prey.

"scum...."

One merc looked at him, "hey kid tis' your ship eh? "

Draven ignored the mans comment he figured it be best not to trifle with him.

"Kid is this your ship or not"

His buddy said

"Tralk I think hes deaf maybe we should beat it out of him"

Draven looked up he knew not what to do the darkside screamed at him to cut down this man where he stood.

The light side said just to talk to him and work it out peacefully his emotions and thoughts flew all over.

he didn't want to contact Valek he knew he would just be getting in the way besides as A Shade he had to stand up for himself

"Leave me be I have no quarrel with you"

The merc took a step closer to him... "Who the hell do you think you are i'm the best damn bounty hunter in this SYSTEM talk to me with respect or i'll rip that tounge out"

Draven looked at this wimp

"You also have a large ego for such a pathetic worm"

The man ran at him about to inflict the first blow..... Dravens first battle alone was about to begin....

 

[Trakon]

Basilak ignored the Miralaku and continued with the mission.

I understand, Basilak thought to the other two. He readied a blaster pistol with a large barrel. It will be quite fun. I'll get electrics.

 

[Demiurge]

By the time River had received the telepathic message from someone asking her name, she heard a second telepathic message from another individual, spouting information on some sort of plan. Instead of suspicion, River became outright confused.

Besides receiving sudden and random communication, the fact they knew how to use the Force and possessed a Shade beacon was proof enough for her. There was little doubt in her mind they were Shade Knights, or former ones at least. At the very least, River could see that the first one that contacted her was another Miraluka, and directed a telepathic message back.

Normally I'd rather keep my name to myself, but there's little reason in it now. I'm River Elluras, and if it's all the same to you, I'll get straight to the point; what are you all doing here?

 

[Inferno]

Aden looked back at River and smiled as the other two went off to the positions. His plan was working perfectly. Even if the target left it wouldn't matter we would catch him easily.

"Welcome to the group River i'm Aden a Shade knight. You'll be my scout for this mission of mine. Heres the info of the target we're goring to eliminate."

He then tossed the datapad to the man. He turned around and walked out of the buildng casually as he made his way across the street trying to draw no attention. He made his way into the alley way walked down till he was clear of civilian sight and sprinted to the location he figured would be a good start to cut into.

 

[Trakon]

Basilak got down, into a alley way. He started to walk through a crowd then realized the area where electronics was guarded. So he used mind control and made the guards hear a sound to either side of them. Then walking right through them, Basilak walked to the generator. After getting there, he placed several smalls bombs on the chords connected to the generator. He walked to the security station inside the generator complex, and slipped in unnoticed. Basilak put a virus on the computers, that wiped all video and audio security programs. Finally he deleted the videos where any shade could be spotted.

Walking out, Basilak again tricked the guards, and left into the crowd. He headed off to the hangar where Aden's target was.

Electronics, out. Basilak thought off to the other Shades. Basilak brought a small detonator out and pressed the symbol on the top, blowing up the chords connected to the generator.

 

[Teck923]

Draven saw the man's fist explode in anger he watched it through the force. He couldn't resist it fast enough and decked him clean across his cheek.

"Come on egomanic hit me harder you Kath Hound"

Draven stood up he knew he couldn't use the force or him and Valek would have to escape guns blazing.

The bounty hunter pulled a sword out,

Draven could see that it was made of mandelorian iron, he worked with it only one time and knew how powerful it was.

"Let's see you wield that blade correctly you fool."

The bounty hunter had no form he just swung randomly while Draven dodged...

Draven remembered what Valek did to him when he was pinned on the wall...

Draven saw the blade go up and above

Draven deflected it with his dagger cutting his trusted dagger in half... But at the same time he whipped his blaster out in a second and held it to the man's throat.

"Your worthless...."

Draven executed him and laser went through his neck and scared the side of the ship...

Draven hoped Valek wouldn't notice.

"I'll take that" Draven grabbed the sword and realised how amazing it was.

The other bounty hunter looked at him.... "Die! You littl....."

Draven cut his torso in half swiftly before he could speak.... Draven looked at the blood and bodies... He knew not what to do.

 

[Demiurge]

River caught the datapad and scoffed.

"Yeah, give the datapad to the blind girl." River said under her breath. Since Aden had left, River put the datapad in a pocket on her overcoat, and reached out to Aden telepathically.

I don't know if you knew or not, but the visor over my eyes, or actually lack thereof, is just for show. Could you give me a description here?

 

[Phil]

"We are looking for someone who works for the Hutts, and we are going to kill him. Just keep your senses out for the really corrupt male, you should know him when you sense him."

Valek sent towards the female miraluka who called herself River Elluras. He was still in the area, but now looking up at the large building that consisted of the space port. Communications array would be high up somewhere on the roof, and that was where Valek would go. Pulling out his hookshot once more, he aimed up and fired the hook until it gripped a large edge that pulled Valek upwards to it. He then repeated the process until he was on the rooftop of the Space port.

He spotted a small building near the edge that was right above where the Ships entered and ran over towards it. Once he was there, he sensed two guards were inside the small room as he opened the door. Acting quickly, Valek ignited his lightsaber and struck both guards down with ease before they could fire their shots. He then looked and saw the controls that operated communications and other functions before he drove his saber into them aswell.

"Communications out."

 

[Teck923]

Draven cleanee his new blade, he also took the blasters and explosives that were among the bounty hunters, he then force pushed thier bodies across the hanger into a corner. "Damn.. Iv killed 3...."

 

[Trakon]

"What's left?" Basilak asked out to others in thoughts.

 

[Demiurge]

"So I'm looking for one corrupt person in the armpit of the galaxy... lovely." River uttered to herself.

Using the Force, River jumped onto the rooftop of a nearby cantina, then leapt up to other roofs until she reached the roof of a power station. She wanted to place herself on an elevated position. Even with her type of vision, the high ground was most advantageous for her senses. River then used the Force to more easily expand the range of her 'sight', gazing throughout the Mos Eisley Spaceport.

For the most part, they were all the same. Murderers, slavers, thieves, confidence men - trying to identify a single one in all of them was expected, but still complex nonetheless. Even though she focused her attention in the spaceport, it was difficult to 'tune out' all the life bustling throughout the city. To aid in her senses, River used her telepathy to graze the minds of others she 'saw' until she came upon one individual who's residual thoughts were centered on dealings with the Hutts.

I've found someone. It's a male Human, middle aged - late. He's in a hangar bay... FT578 is stamped onto the ground and walls inside. And there are others with him - eight sentients, could be bodyguards or associates. A Nikto, three Twi'leks, a Rodian, another Human, and two Trandoshans. I can't perceive exactly what they're using from my distance, but they are all armed.

 

[Inferno]

Aden looked around a bit, not a soul insight. he slowly and causiosly pulled out his light saber and activated it. He quickly stuck it into the wall at the bottom and started cut the wood and brick away. His saber didn't take long to through the building. He bripped one side of the wall and with his natural strength he pulled it over and let it fall to the ground.

"I'm in. Remember to try and not use the force or your lightsabers. We don't need to let the world that we are still active."

Aden walked into the opening and noticed he was in a dark room, filled with parts and oils. It was a maintance closet of some sort. He made his way slowly to the door. Try to carefully not bump into anything along the way.

 

[Teck923]

Draven climbed to the top of the ship and sat. He thought to himself he wondered if Valek or the other Shades could hear. <2 more souls i'v sent to chaos. I guess I should get used to killing...>
