As the Neti probed gently, with all the force of growing roots, he would be met with an overwhelming darkness. The Sith - if he knew what one was - presented in the force as a deep red smog: the deep red smog of anger; anger that is self-justified, self-righteous and self-absorbed. For Saric's...

A smuggling depot, Boordii Saric stretched his stiffened limbs as he took in his surroundings. He had a lump in his throat. Was it regret? Fear? He was not used to the feeling of not being in control. Then again, he had never acted this rashly before. Not in so many years. But this had...

Saric cursed himself for letting this smuggler get the better of him. Nevertheless, he thought his adversary was a bit gloaty about the "code". If his wife - if that was what she really was - had been listening the whole time, there was plenty to alert her to the fact all was not well. It was a...

In the alley, Saric allowed his quarry to twist out of his grip. He would, however, position himself between the other man and his escape. Saric listened to the man squirm with his words, trying to define himself as something other than a smuggler on the basis of technicalities. Then he offered...

"Look. As I say, we only received the Intel half an hour ago. We won't be on the sheets. If you can take me to your office, I will show you our authorisation." The senior Human looked uneasy for a moment, but then settled herself. "One of you only." She led Saric up a back staircase. At the...

With the guards dead, Saric picked up the broken man and put his shoulder under his. He would let Saorise go first. They retraced their steps through the hideout and Saric was always worried that being slowed down by the hulking dead weight, that someone might come across one of the many bodies...

Saric was among those applauding. He did not know the young Drast speaking, but he respected his point. As far as Saric was concerned, the so-called Old Empire were upstarts and rebels, posing more of a threat than the recently exposed "Grand Alliance". At least they stood for something other...

A Toydarian in a crowded room. That ruled out pushing through by force, risking being seen, and overbearing his will with a mind trick: Saric knew their reputation. That left old fashioned trickery. "You have two agents of Her Imperial Majesty on urgent business. We can only apologise for not...

"And what might you mean, men of my speciality?" Saric didn't wait for a response, nor did he allow the man to break away easily. He surmised that Ookelle was the shop keeper, unless it was this creature's own name. He decided to go for the jugular: "you're a smuggler, aren't you? That's why you...

The scared attendant passed them a key card before scuttling off. As they got to the door, Saric pressed the card to the reader. The opening revealed a sorry sight: a naked man on a ragged chair, with three torturers. Two with whips of some description and one with a blaster who looked like he...

Saric was uneasy. He was not so naive as not to notice that Saorise had a vested interest in the prosecutor not being in Kuat at the appointed time. He looked sidelong at his companion. "I'm sure he does," he said with a certain knowing sarcasm in his voice. "I can see why in your situation you...

The Lesser Hall, Republica Senate Building 0300 Saric squeezed in at the back. This was supposed to be the secret committee meeting for the future of the Empire and succession. Saric was not a committee member, but the thing about committees was that they were public events. The committee has...

Saric was taken aback by the growing rage of their companion. He could not see how Valar could know that their hostess had a Mandalorian boyfriend. Therefore he did not know the source of his anger. He just knew something was up, and Valar was hiding it externally - just. He looked to Saorise...

In the crowd, there were a number of people stood around. One such person was Saric Noms, hooded and armoured, but for the helmet - which was clipped to a belt under the robes that covered everything. A man walked passed him in uniform. It made him double take as he thought the sword strapped...

As the door to the lift opened, the occupant almost jumped out of their own skin. They clearly were not expecting to see lightsabers on their travels. He fell to his knees: "don't hurt me, don't hurt me!" He was wearing grubby overalls and no hint of a weapon to hand. "Who are you? What do you...
