“Honestly, Tiamat, this is going to work and it’s going to be awesome.” Lorcan declared as he marched around the small cargo hold of his gunship, “We’re going full on OLD SCHOOL when it comes to this action, kid. Proper deception is the key to all successful warfare shrak right here.”

Dressed in his Freelancer armor, Lorcan wasn’t putting up the front of being a Sith soldier at the moment but, rather, just a freelancer. Hence the armor’s name – his was a complicated wit. He still had the hunting rifle strapped to his back alongside his regular carbine though. But if people started associating Sith activity with that rifle then he was already past the point of being subtle anyway.

He made a vague wave at Tiamat.

“You’re not, like, a big deal but you do look like one of the glowstick waving party, you understand?”
he patted his chest, “Now that doesn’t matter to me at all – your boss’ credits spend real good even if it is creepy to me to see a young woman call an older man ‘master’ with a straight face – but these guys? They’re independent smugglers and they like avoiding complications like, well, you.”

Behind his helmet, Lorcan grinned.

“Which is why I have a cunning plan!”


He slapped the small metal container crate beside him, roughly half as tall as he was.

“This bad boy can fit so many Marauders in it – at least one whole and maybe three in bits.”
He declared proudly, “So… hop in. Quick flight in, you burst out at the signal, lots of screaming later and suddenly it’s all cool and we have a shiny pre-loved space station over a sith-spit speck of shite called Tatooine.”

A pause.

“No offence meant by the sith-spit comment.”

Tiamat followed Lorcan around the ship; she had met him briefly following Eiattu and somehow following the spa day, she managed to agree upon a particular plan he seemed too enthusiastic about that made her wonder if this was for real. He reassured her it was going to work, and the redhead wondered if he was saying that only to convince himself it was going to work. She carried her helmet under her arm as she listened and then glanced down at her armor as he seemed uneasy to the idea that she was a saber-welding Sith. She raised her eyebrows, "I can use a vibroblade and blaster if that would make everyone more comfortable."

But then he shifted and revealed another part of his plan. She was starting to think he was nuts as he slapped the crate and explained how many sith he could fit inside. Now her face contorted in bewilderment as he highlighted the best part of this plan and how easy it would be to take the station. "No offense taken." she said with a concerned frown as she pulled her helmet on to get ready, "You sure this will work?" she asked the Force danced along her senses, uncertain of the outcome this will lead to, especially the idea of climbing into a box and later popping out. This sounded almost comical.

Tiamat opened the top of the crate, sliding the lid open as she looked inside the empty container. It was roomy enough, a bit of an awkward stand, but if it would get her onboard with a surprise attached, then maybe this guy wasn't as crazy as he came off. She looked at Lorcan through her helmet now, though he couldn't see her face, there was still a bit of skepticism that also warned him of this better working. She climbed over the ledge and adjusted the top, "This better work." she said, letting him then attached the top.

Lorcan waved away the idea that she would have to use a vibroblade – he might not be especially friendly with Sith or Jedi or, well, anyone but he knew what killed. And lightsabers? Oh lightsabers killed a heck of a lot better than vibroblades! He, personally, wasn’t going to go rushing out to grab a lightsaber for his own use but he recognized why people might.

“It makes the crew a bit jittery but kark ‘em.”
He told her flippantly, “Keep your cutter of choice.”

He was damned sure no one was going to convince him to drop his own blade for, say, a staff or something to bash people down with. Sure, a heavy staff could do some real damage but he wanted to keep using the blades, to keep having them be his focus outside of the blasters.

Was he sure this was going to work?

“Full disclosure?”
he grinned wider, “Absolutely not. But it’ll be cool as shrak if it works, right? And worst case scenario you cut your way out early – no biggie.”

Well depended how claustrophobic she was but if she had that fear he imagined she would have already either run away screaming or started trying to blast him with that lightning shrak. He grinned down at her as she nestled down in the box.

“Trust me!”


Strapping the lid down on the box, he very deliberately didn’t lock the lid. He got the feeling that locking the box might have her thinking he’d betrayed her or something; which would be dumb. Her Master paid well – why would he risk a well paying job to sell some shrak-head a slave? Would he do it if the price was right? Sure, but the price was so FAR from right it was funny.

He did, however, sit atop the crate whistling a sea shanty he vaguely remembered as the ship traveled to the station. It was… kind of a squeeze but it was just small enough to fit in the hanger without issue. Jumping off the crate he grabbed the handles of the hoversled the crate was resting on and he started walking down the ramp.

The smugglers cheered and he waved a hand.

“I know – I know! I’m amazing, I know but we got ourselves a genuine ewok in here!”
he patted the crate, “Where’s the boss’ cabin boys? This way? You’re beautiful and I love you all, thanks!”

A short walk later, escorted by two armed smugglers who spent more time chatting shrak that actually guarding him, Lorcan entered the captain’s cabin.

“Go ahead! Open her up and see your furry little friend!”

So he was entirely winging this plan. They were taking over a space station and had no plan.

Tiah could appreciate the audacity of such a move, but she was less appreciative that with only her and him doing this, this seemed fairly reckless. Regardless, she crouched down in the container, listening to the movement of the box, the Force ebb and flowed from her, speaking to her of what she was not unable to see.

Soon she could hear cheering and the muffled voice of Lorcan explaining he was able to get an ewok and Tiamat's face contorted into bewilderment. Though these guys must have not been too smart; this box didn't even have air holes to keep anything alive in it for too long. Someone was banging on the side, calling for Lorcan to open it up for just a peek but she could feel the container still moving and she grasped her saber hilt, feeling the hunger of the crystal inside. She closed her eyes and continued to listen, her senses alerting her to the oncoming storm that was about to erupt on the space station.

She heard the boot steps and saw the lid begin to wiggle, and before it would be entirely removed, the lid would snap off, flying out of the grip of the smugglers. Their eyes would follow the projectile and before they realized it was not an ewok inside, Tiamat's red blade would arch around, cutting through both men as she leaped out of the box. The captain rose from his seat, blaster raised, firing at the woman as he realized he had been crossed. Her red blade moved effortlessly as she reflected the blaster fire back to the captain while he kept unloading his blaster rifle. She was feeding off his anger, surprise, shock and fear that this would be it for him and as she closed the distance between them, her saber cut cleanly through his neck.

Tiamat turned around knowing they were to have more company. Maybe this plan wasn't too shabby after all.

Lorcan didn't make a move on the people in the room because he was confident that he didn't have to; instead he just let the Sith girl take her aggression out on the smuggler captain and the two people he'd had with him. She would secure the room and he would secure the exit, knocking on the door before loudly calling out.

"Oh gods it's horrible! Somebody help!"


He stepped to the side of the door and drew his blaster pistol. Making a show of counting to three, he raised his blaster on three as the two guards outside the door opened the doors and took a step inside. Before either of them could respond to the sight of Tiamat in front of them, Lorcan unloaded right into the side of their head from less than five feet away.

All too easy so far.

"Alright Big-T, search the captain for anything good and get ready to move."
he told her with a grin underneath his helmet, "You got any of them fancy rebreathers on you? Cus I think we got two options."

He lifted a finger.

"One? We go up to the command deck and just kill everyone fool enough to step in the way."


He lifted the other finger.

"Two? We head down to life support and turn it off, let them all choke to death and sweep them out the airlock of our new station."


Lorcan tilted his head slightly.

"Personally I've got fond memories of either option so you do you honey - bout time you got a chance to decide on the plan's direction, eh?"

There was a shouts coming from Lorcan in half-committed plea for help to lure in any lingering guards that could have heard the commotion inside the captain's room. Tiamat turned on her heel to see Lorcan counting down and on cue the door opened and two guards entered the room, seeing the Sith woman. They were startled, never realizing their fate was not her, but to the man with the blaster. Tiamat grinned beneath her helmet, feeling the chill of the darkside as it enjoyed feasting off the last moments of life.

Her gaze followed Lorcan as he suggested she should search the captain for anything she would find of use to her. She toggled the switch on her hilt to extinguish her blade as she approached the captain's corpse, using aided strength to flip him onto his back. She pulled a security card to help them through locks, but she was not interested in anything else from the body.

Lorcan explained their next options and Tiamat raised her eyebrows and was certainly grinning in response. Both options were good, "I feel like getting my hands a bit dirty, option one." she decided holding up a finger to indicate her choice. Though option two was just as a tempting, but she was uncertain she had enough power in her rebreather to last long enough to get through the space station. She would pocket that idea the next time.

"Shall we see who gets the highest count?" she asked, biting her lip in a bit of (un)healthy competition.

Option one?

OPTION ONE?

Oh great, he was in danger of starting to like the girl if she started pushing for such brilliantly simple but enjoyable plans. Why make anything more complicated than it needed to be after all? Gun down enough people and the station was secure without the need to risk choking to death. The option with the lift support?

Well he hadn’t done well with that route in the past so he wasn’t going to get upset about not ending up backed into a corner watching his allies die. Gods but he hated the 500-Series so bloody much!

“Alright then wonderkid, lets go ventilate some fools.”
He agreed with a smirk, “I’ll take that bet – if there’s something to make it interesting.”

Holstering his blaster pistol, he swung his rifle round from where it was slung over his shoulder to cradle it almost lovingly in his arms. Stepping out of the captain’s quarters, he stepped out into the corridor, rifle up and checked both ends for threats, finding none for now.

Of course as soon as he turned the corner there were, quite literally, half a dozen confused-looking smugglers.

He fired off a quick-shot, catching one man in the knee and sending him screaming to the ground before he ducked back round the corner as blaster bolts passed by. Lorcan grinned at the Sith kid.

“Found some friends.”

"The loser buys drinks?" she suggested; what she did know about this offer was a win for Lorcan regardless. She was not a drinker, so he wouldn't have to pay for her drinks, and if he won, well...he wouldn't have to worry about his tab for the evening.

Regardless of his response, Tiamat followed as he opened the door back into hall. It was quiet for now, her senses told her otherwise. There was an uneasiness in the air, but the echoes of laughing males down the opposite way of the corridor told her there were not too many on this station who were concerned. Their inattention would cost them, though, they still had the numbers over the two of them. She could feel a nagging warning that they were going to come up on trouble soon, and soon became immediate when they turned the corner into the group of smugglers.

Lorcan fired a shot into the man's knee, shock and confusion exploded through the Force, but Tiamat cut through the volley of emotions and the now blaster fire as she ignited her blade. While he took cover behind the corner, Tiamat's steps were calculated as the dark side rolled through her body, wrapped in her movements as she reflected the bolts back to the smugglers who were desperately trying to survive and figure out what was happening. She paused, and then jetted forward, her position changing within a blink as she buried her saber into one of the frontline firers. Panic reverberated as they realized who they were up against.

She threw out her palm and several of the smugglers were caught in the brunt of her pulse, throwing them backwards, breaking their weak line of defense.

He stared at Tiamat for a long moment when she spoke, eyes narrowing ever so slightly as he pointedly looked her up and down before tilting his head to one side. Expressions were hard to convey with a full helmet on but he was pretty sure that between the movements and Tiamat's abilities with the Force able to help explain his mood... she could definitely pick up on his confusion and caution.

"... are you even old enough to drink?"
he asked bluntly with a frown, "Because I'm down to gut some smugglers and pirates and even kids who annoy me too much but underage drinking is a real problem in our communities right now. Plus it'll stunk your growth."

Wait, no, that was smoking.

He shrugged a little bit and gripped his rifle tighter and stepped out from around the corner as Tiamat strode into the fray - typical of a Force User in that she didn't really need to worry about taking cover. With the lightsabers? She basically was walking cover, which was exactly why he was making his way down the hallway with his rifle up, just a little bit behind her.

She was portable cover - and he didn't even have to hold her upright like he did most human shields! Lorcan was thoroughly convinced that young Sith were the future of human shielding since they were self-moving.

"Kill steal!"


Lorcan laughed as he blasted the ones that Tiamat knocked down with the Force, hitting each of the three with a shot to the chest before hitting them in the head just to make sure. The double tap was a sacred technique after all.

She could feel Lorcan enjoying himself, he was easy to pick out and to avoid from including him in the slaughter of pathetic lifeforms. He yelled out something about a steal kill as he fired several bolts into the smugglers she had piled down. She stabbed her saber's blade into the man's chest who had his knee shot out. His last words filled with curses as the halls fell silent, leaving the bodies to be as they continued down the hall. She wondered how long it would take for someone to clean up the mess they were leaving behind. Glancing at Lorcan, she felt something shift in the Force.

"I think the rest of them are going to be more prepared." she stated, "There is more caution in air, they know we're coming." she said with amusement, hopeful that the rest of them would put up more of a fight.

That of course, may just had been wishful thinking.

They approached a set of blastdoors, sealed from the other side and Tiamat paused, looking them up and down as she walked up to the security deck. She could almost hear the sweat crawling down the backs of the defending smugglers that readied themselves on the other side. The Sith glanced at Lorcan and waited for him to cue her when he was ready before she swiped the security card to open the doors.

Ah there was nothing quite like mowing down some hapless people who hadn’t even known you were a threat until they were struggling to breathe around the new hole in their chest or head. Cleaning up was going to probably end up being a ball-ache but the one good thing about the Sith subjugating all these backwater planets? No shortage of labor! People did what they were told because they were told to do it – and that was it!

Glorious, really.

“Oh let them sweat it out.”
He declared with a dismissive wave of his hand at the very idea, “I’m sure it’ll make some of them slippery – some of them might actually escape! Make some sport out of this whole thing.”

It was only fun shooting stationary targets for so long after all. But one thing that made up for a lot of issues? Explosions. With Tiamat at the controls he pulled out a grenade from his belt and primed it, nodding to her.

“Be a dear and close the door before the draft.”


When the door opened he would throw the primed grenade inside before ducking round the side of the door. With the door, hopefully, closing after the grenade the blast would be contained but he preferred to be extra careful.

This guy wasn't too bad, he was thoroughly enjoying himself which meant Tiamat could do the same. He had taken out a grenade, suggesting they should make them wait just a little longer and when the door did open, he tossed in the primed explosive to which Tiamat shut on cue. There was a clear panic on the other side of the blast doors. Yelling and the clattering of weapons being dropped as they moved to get out of the blast range.

However, not too many would be quick enough, the lucky ones would be those who just watched their mates be used as meat-shields and spare them from the barrage of shrapnel that tore through their bodies.

There was more yelling, but this was from the those who had not been so lucky to be killed by the blast. Tiamat listened, glancing at Lorcan to gauge when he was ready to view the damage. There was a sudden shift in the Force as a warning sensation overcame her and she quickly pulled Lorcan to herself, leaving the volley of blaster bolts to hit the station wall. She slapped the key card into his palm, "I'll met you, let me take care of this group." she said as a group of smugglers found a way to try to sandwich the two invaders from the other side.

Her saber scorched into the wall as she dragged it along her path; blaster rifles turned to her and the woman waved her palm effortless, their weapons snapping upward to knock into their faces. It would be several seconds enough to disorient them and put them down.

Lorcan was pressing his ear to the door, trying to listen in well to what was happening beyond the door, when he felt the Force grip him. Eyes widening, he was Pulled across a distance by Tiamat as blaster fire impacted the wall where he had been standing before. A flanking tactic? He honestly hadn’t thought that the smugglers had it in them but he guessed he was wrong in the end after all.

“Didn’t think they had the balls to try something like that.”
He admitted with a growl of frustration, his fun interrupted for a moment, “Let’s see what their insides look like.”

She wanted to take the flankers? She could have the bloody wankers – Lorcan was going to go through the doors and finish what he had started. The panic from setting off the grenade would have worn off by now but that just meant he needed to surprise them in another way. Dropping his rifle to the ground, Lorcan drew his vibrosword in his right hand and gave Tiamat a brief nod.

He could trust her to watch his back and take care of the flanker-wankers because he wasn’t so much trusting her to protect him as he was trusting her to kark up some people she didn’t like.

Hitting the button to the door, Lorcan rushed through the doorway with a roar that didn’t actually use any words. His reckless charge did manage to do what he wanted, catching the smugglers off guard enough for him to take advantage. Tackling one to the ground with his left shoulder, he whipped his vibrosword around at the next closest one, cutting through the man’s knee before impaling him in the middle of the chest.

Grabbing the man he had tackled, he yanked him back up to his feet, thrusting his sword into and through the man’s stomach to help keep him up as the human shield that protected Lorcan from the retaliation of his friends.

Now he was having fun again!

Tiamat was still a better human shield though.

He didn't sound like he was enjoying himself when the flanker arrived, and if Tiamat was being honest with herself, she did not enjoy it either. However, it was an easy fix, it just was putting some extra steps into them getting to where they needed to be in order to have full control of the station. Lorcan took on his share, seeming to change things up as the Sith woman took on the flank-wankers who tried to surprise them. She gave him a nod of approval as he extended his vibroblade and steadily moved toward the annoyance at the other end of the hall. Her red blade spun and snapped, reflecting the bolts back at the smugglers as quickly as they would fire them.

Some started to retreat when they realized they had caught the attention of the Sith woman instead of the mercenary that was charging along. Several bodies fell and she could hear the commotion from the dying smugglers behind her as she grasped a couple of the living smugglers to be used as meat shields. Their own men stuttered in their attack, but the damage was done as she let their bodies drop to the floor. She continued to approached as they were absorbed by the shock and disbelief that they had shot their own men. Tiamat saw an entrance as their guard dropped and dug her presence into their minds; they screamed as a shearing white pain ripped through inside their head, unable to find relief until they were given one suggestion.

Two blaster shots rung, and the screaming stopped. Tiamat stood still for a moment as she collected herself, feeling near a tipping point into completely losing herself within the dark side. She still had a job to do and complete destruction was not part of the plan. Slowly she lowered her hands, pulling herself back to the present and went to catch up with Lorcan.

Lorcan might not have the same kind of blade-obsession that Sith had (he swore it was all rooted back in the penis obsession that the Sith had shown him during his downtime with them) but he was proficient enough with a vibrosword that bringing one to a blaster fight wasn’t a bad idea. Sure, sometimes it was but when they were at close to medium range? He rather liked his chances when it came to cutting them to pieces before they could shoot him apart.

With one of their buddies as a literal meat-shield though?

Sometimes Lorcan thought it might be sporting to let people get a little bit further away from him, to give them more of a chance… then he remembered that he karking hated sports. Why in the ever-loving shrak should he play fair? Case in point…

Lorcan drew his pistol and thrust it into one of the blaster-holes in his human shield before pulling the trigger rapidly. His blaster shots tore through the body in front of his blaster with the first and second shot before the third and fourth shot through the body. It was an odd angle for attack and he caught two more smugglers unprepared before they were able to adjust to his change in tactics.

With only one more smuggler left, Lorcan decided to keep the changes coming and pushed the body from his sword. Taking a second to change his grip, he threw his sword across the distance at the smuggler. The throw wasn’t even very good but it made the man flinched – which allowed Lorcan the chance to line up his shot and blast the man’s head open with his blaster pistol.

He let out a long breath before releasing it as a satisfied sigh.

“Was it good for you too, guys?”

Tiamat joined by Lorcan's side just as he sighed pleasantly and asked the corpses if it was good for them also. Behind the helmet, the girl's eyebrows rose in curiosity as to who he was talking to, but realizing there was really limited options she nodded, more in reassurance he was not a nutcase. "Well..." Tiamat looked over the bodies, her eyes resting on one in particular with a large hole in his center, "'Least you don't need to make them breakfast in the morning." she quipped and stepped over a body and then walked across another to get to a clear path.

She would reach out with her senses as she continued down the hall knowing they were approaching the command room soon. If she was honest with herself, she was hoping those who were left knew about her and Lorcan and would have bailed from their stations by now instead of defending it. Their efforts would be wasted if they were to stay; she wondered if pride was a pitfall for smugglers, or maybe they were just too dense to know when to give up.

The halls seemed quiet now and Tiamat would pause at another set of blaster doors, listening and feeling with her senses as she looked to detect any caution before she waved the security card to the panel.

Making them breakfast in the morning huh? Lorcan eyed Tiamat again, once again mentally trying to remember how old she was and giving up when he remembered that he hadn't cared enough to look it up in her files. Or enough to ask either. Still, if she was old enough to make these kinds of jokes alongside him then he wasn't going to say anything against it. Instead he just shrugged a little bit.

"Gotta be karking some kind of soccer mom for that to be an option anyway."


From what he'd heard the guys in the Ranger locker rooms chatting shrak about at any rate. Lorcan had never given much of a feck about the content of their conversation outside of imitating them so he didn't have to field questions as to why he didn't seem so obsessed as they had been. He ignored his trip down memory lane to instead fall in step beside Tiamat as the young Sith continued their trek of terror.

Their hike of horror.

Their jaunt of... nah he didn't have one for that.

They stopped in front of a door and this time Lorcan didn't opt for explosives or his blaster pistol/rifle. Instead he held his vibrosword in his right hand and prepped his blaster attachment in his other. The doors opened to the command room but rather than being greeted with blaster fire, they would a lone smuggler sitting in the captain's chair. He was obviously not the captain but the smuggler smiled nervously at them and raised both of his hands.

"I give up?"


Lorcan blinked once before turning to Tiamat.

Were they accepting prisoners?

Did the Sith even do prisoners?

Tiamat felt it was cringy to know exactly what he meant by soccer mom; some of her school friends years ago identified their mothers as a soccer mom. It seemed as though the title was a great punchline for any jokes that floated around and everyone would know what you were talking about. The down side about being in the Sith, it was a rare opportunity to find someone who knew some of these terms or mannerisms of those especially in the core worlds.

Though Lorcan wouldn't see her smile, the Sith woman overall found the comment amusing and the familiarity tempted her to dive further into such memories, but she pushed it aside. They still had a command room to empty and take over.

As they moved through the halls, it was apparent that they had exterminated the smugglers who remained onboard, and if any left, they would have done so by now. There was no point for them to linger, especially with their captain dead and it would no doubt mean they would not be getting any credits soon. Lorcan paused at the doors and so did Tiamat, her senses not detecting much of anything that would be consider a threat. She eyed the vibroblade, her own saber hilt grasped in her palm as she waited for the doors to open and them to finish the rest of the resistant smugglers.

However, she felt disappointed that there was no blaster fire to greet them instead one lone smuggler in the captains' chair, declaring his surrender.

There was a twinge of annoyance when the man raised his hands as she kept her gaze on the smuggler; she could feel Lorcan's eyes on her, clearly thinking about what to do with the lone smuggler. Without hesitation, she grabbed her own pistol and fired, burning a hole through the smuggler's forehead. She holstered the weapon as the body slid down out of the chair.

"We don't take prisoners, we're not a charity." she hissed with displeasure.

Did she just flinch at his bad joke? Well that might mean she actually knew what the hell a soccer mom was and why it was a decent, if cringy, punchline to a quick joke. Nah, he was probably imagining things – people outside of the dumpster fire that was Coruscant didn’t really know terms like that and she was some big-shot’s Sith Apprentice these days.

That kind of thing worked like My Fair Lady, right? Learning how to talk like you weren’t from a level lower than most sea levels?

Lorcan smirked a little bit at the response the smuggler got for trying to surrender. Oh he remembered when doing something like that would have had the Chief shouting at him about The Book and how he was going to be discharged or something. Wandering over to the smuggler, he knelt down and poked a finger into the hole in his forehead, wiggling it around. Due to the size of the hole his finger didn’t even touch the sides.

“Nice shot.”
He grinned underneath his helmet before reaching up to take it off, grabbing the smuggler and sitting his body upright before Lorcan put his own helmet atop the corpse’s head, using him as a hat stand, “Thought I’d defer to the Sith on the mission…”

He gestured for her to take the commander’s chair before he sat down in the swivel chair that was the first mate’s station. As he spun, deliberately slowly, he eyed the young Sith for a few moments before sniffing.

“So we have a space station and no one knows we do – woo.”
He waved a hand in mock enthusiasm, “… can I crash it into the desert though?”

Tiamat holstered her weapon and watched as Lorcan walked up to the body and inspect the blaster wound quite physically. He complimented her shot and the sith woman walked further inside, eyeing the control panels and terminals for signs of any other lingering smugglers on board. The body was then sat upright and at first Tiamat was confused about what he was doing until he used the body as a prop for his helmet. The woman begun to switch off security systems before popping off her own helmet, clipping it to her belt as she made her way to the captains seat.

It felt odd sitting in such a place, the station sounded much quieter though, which was a plus. There was he distinct squeaking of the chair next to her as Lorcan spun slowly to look at her. Tiamat turned her seat to face him, hands folded in her lap; he spoke in a mocking tone and Tiamat laughed; now that she thought about it, she was uncertain of the reason for this mission, generally her place was to obey orders. Whatever orders her and Lorcan had, must have been vague enough to let them end up here.

"Crash it?" she questioned and turned her seat back to the viewport to see the desert world floating below them. "I did not receive further orders to salvage what we gained." Tiamat shrugged, she wasn't in total disagreement for the idea. There were better stations out there the Sith could utilize, plus the clean up on this one just sounded atrocious. The woman then rose from her chair.

"All this work just to watch it burn?" she grinned as she slipped on her helmet, "Lets do it."
