Ask Fake Holocron

[Vena Lann]

FAKE HOLOCRON
The End of the Empire's Holocron ruse​

As an Imperial Knight, Vena Lann had tracked a holocron to Corvus where she and her partner took down a former Sith by the name of Anders Drast. Then, rather impulsively, she had gone and tracked another one alone to Vjun. She had been lured into a trap by the Dark Lord herself. Having proven her worth, she was now a member of the Sith Order and allowed to further make herself useful by applying her imperial training as a member of the Sith Inquisition.

Her first order of business was to make and end to the Holocron trap set up by the Imperial Security Bureau. They had copied the appearance of actual holocrons, placed trackers inside and floated the rumor of their existence to lure the Sith out of hiding long enough to claim it and -being unable to open it immediately with the Force- take it back to whatever the Sith used as a hideout. For some time this wasn't an issue, after all, the Sith were scattered and they could only be tracked down to the individuals that had fallen into such an obvious trap. They had deserved to die. Now, with the reclamation of Fortress Vader, the risk of one of these trackers getting to Mustafar was considered to be too great.

But no one said it wasn't a good thing to strike two birds with one stone. Vena was still an Imperial Knight and as such had access to the Holocron trackers. She knew one was on the move and that two Imperial Knights had been dispatched to track it down. She knew them, too, for they had fought side-by-side in the defense of the Imperial Knights Castle on Raxus when it had come under attack from insurgents. One was a human, Hanako Watson, and the other Catharese, Ria Cann. They had both been a year ahead of her at the Sith Academy before Altaïr Din's address.

The Sith they were tracking was irrelevant. The Inquistion had a file on him, but it might as well have erased it for lack of potential. He was not allowed to be let alive, either.

So, with a black cloak over her set of Imperial Knight armor and the hood drawn over her head to prevent identification, Vena watched the blip on her personav move slowly across the streets of Hollastin. The overcrowded small planet was a trading hub one could easily disappear on and that had clearly been the Sith's plan, which was a good one if he wasn't dragging a long a tracker in the disguise of a holocron. "He's close," Vena told the fellow inquisitor standing at her side, "but no sign of the knights yet."

[Brenna Ylva Eir]

Brenna Ylva Eir looked out across the city scape and felt immensely out of place. Hollastin was a small world, but it was so different from the vast wilderness that she'd grown up in that it was strange to her. It had been fourteen years since she'd set foot on her home planet, but still she felt drawn to wild places over cities with their towering buildings and vehicles zipping by at all hours of the day and night. Lights constantly blinding, pollution creating a haze over entire planets making it hard to see and breathe.

She disliked having to endure the cities, but also knew it was an inevitable part of serving the Sith Order. Her intensive training assured she would not perform any differently in such a setting, regardless of her personal feelings. Brenna flexed her arms a few times before clasping her hands behind her back. The new armor she wore was also uncomfortable - though it was made of high quality material to be lightweight, it was much bulkier than anything she was used to wearing. She relied on her agility and dexterity in combat, but had been training with the armor on in the short time since becoming an inquisitor.

The young Sith was still learning what exactly that meant - it was a special rank that set her apart from her comrades. She knew that secrecy and anonymity were important within the Inquisitorious. Thus, the specific armor she and her companion both wore. She did not know who the person was - did not even know if it was a man or woman in the cloak sheathed armor until she spoke. Brenna nodded her understanding at the woman's words, but did not respond otherwise. This was her first mission as an inquisitor and she was not the one with the intel. She was only here to assist her companion, so she would follow the other woman's lead.

[Vena Lann]

Vena suddenly moved, following the red blip on her personav with a more rapid pace as the thickness of the crowd surprised her and she didn't want to lose sight of... kriff, she turned away and pretended to find something appealing in the window display of a third rate speeder shop. "They're here," she told Brenna as she jerked her head in the direction of two figures.

Hanako and Ria both were cloaks that were very similar to her own and she didn't need to guess to know that the armor of an Imperial Knight would be underneath them. It was Hanako that was holding the personav in front of her and leading them straight towards the Sith Champion that held the fake holocron. "Guess we're following them," Vena sighed as she pocketed her own personav and turned back to follow the two imperial knights. "Let's see if we can get the drop on all three of them."
