Sisk's head impacted against the rebar with such force that bone fragments and bits of brain exploded out of the impact site, and the rebar even punched through the rear of the helmet, stained a vivid scarlet. Confident that nobody, even a God if there was one, could survive such a blow, Rook began to feel the all-controlling rage that had gripped him start to slip away. Where one sensation left, another rose to take its place. Pain filled the void that wrath had left behind. His shoulder ached something terrible, and the bullet was still lodged inside. Rook knew that he was in no condition to engage in saber combat, and with the throbbing pain, force combat was going to be iffy as well.
So he took the only reasonable course of action: he would retreat. Geist had a medical center on the second floor where he could get patched up. With the force, he snapped the sticky bonds that constrained him to one spot. The snapping sticky substance stung as it recoiled as his feet peeled off the stone floor. With a jump, he cleared the glop pile. With another twist of the force, he pulled Sisk from the rebar with a sickening squelch. He removed Sisk's helmet as a trophy, along with two weapons from Sisk's belt. The weapons were guided to the magnetic plate on his back, and the helmet hung on his fist. The body of Sisk Renelo was thrown up the stairs along Rook's path. THe corpse was a potentially invaluable propaganda tool, and he would be damned if he let any of Sisk's Mandalorian brothers recover the body.
With a waddling walk as the glop started to slowly harden, Rook stumbled rather unceremoniously up the stairs that led to the medical center. With a flick of his thoughts, he sent Geist a telepathic message, though no doubt the Dark Lord had been paying attention to the swirling power that had erupted int he lethal contest. "Sisk Renelo is dead. Others went on ahead into the palace, though I'm sure you're aware of that. I'm not in the best condition to fight, so I'll leave the others to you." A minute later he found himself sitting awkwardly on a medical table while a droid probed at his wound. He winced with the pain, but it was tolerable. He had won a massive victory today. Rook closed his eyes and cast his senses out through the palace to observe the actions of Geist and whoever else was foolish enough to attack the Dark Lord's sanctum.
