Mastigophobia (Training #3)

[Dmitri]

Geist Weiss activated the autopilot and left the pilot's seat of the diplomatic barge Administrator. The vessel was on no diplomatic mission. Rather, it was being used to sneak past Yag'Dhul defenses to drop off Viole and his team so they could make the necessary preparations for the 11th Fleet. Viole, Prazutis, and Bat'ou had primarily kept to themselves during the journey.

Wanting to stretch his legs, having been sitting for the last couple hours. He left Bat'ou in the co. pilot's chair. If anything were to happen, Bat'ou would be able to address any immediate concerns long enough for someone to reach the cockpit. Geist left that cockpit and used the fifth passenger as an excuse to move around. Another Sith was on board. His name was Ro'Dak. The boy had recently shown promise by eliminating a triad of traitorous acolytes that had called themselves the Lords of Malicious. He was now tasked with another assignment. During the battle, the Sith Lord was going to have Ro'Dak infiltrate the Dodecapolis University during the Yag'Dhul invasion in order to steal an experimental supercomputer. The Imperium's military was always looking for new parts to work with and Geist had saw the opportunity and decided to have it taken. While he could wait for the invasion to finish and plunder the bounties, but he did not wish to risk the university being destroyed during the invasion. Do'Rak's mission was to steal the computer before anything could happen to it.

However, while Do'Rak had shown promise with the Lords of Malicious, he was still somewhat inexperienced. Geist decided he would train the boy a bit so he was more prepared for his assignment. The illusionist found Do'Rak in his room. "Enjoying the voyage?" Geist greeted.

The Administrator was quite the ironic name for a vessel carrying two men of an order that was not so... pretty as the name would suggest. A diplomatic barge carrying two examples of the destructive capabilities of the Force was also quite the irony. Do'Rak was not going on this mission for "peaceful" reasons. However, the vessel itself was a rather impressive barge. The large and metal panels that made up the rooms were pristine, and there was a viewing window from Do'Rak's staying quarters. Th onlye sense of malevolence emanated mostly from the two Sith on board, one of whom could be sensed getting closer to Do'Rak. As the Sith Lord came ever closer, the acolyte contemplated his future, the dark pretenses of which were the only thing that remained clear. Why was it that he felt he had to stand alone against this over looming danger? Whatever the case, the Sith Lord was almost to the room. The doors slid open and Darth Somnus or Geist revealed himself, greeting the acolyte in an interesting way.

"Enjoying the same way a Terentatek enjoys contemplating a Jedi for dinner." Do'Rak's comment was quite cold and distant, distracted. "I sense something in my future, something... foreboding... in a very distant time."

The tall man's eyes narrowed out the very wide window wall of his room, arms crossed almost impatiently so. His hands gripping his arms with anticipation. However, he realized that this was not what his new mentor had come to see.

Do'Rak turned towards Geist, unfolding his arms, "What do you wish of me, my lord?"

Geist smirked slightly at Do'Rak's commentary. It was an amusing description to image. Indeed, the acolyte was anticipating the meal to come, the combat he would face. Do'Rak anticipated something. Whether he was sensing something to come or delusions of grandeur were sneaking into the boy's imagination was uncertain to the Sith Lord. However, the acolyte was correct that he had not come just for the dialogue.

"Your mission carries importance," Geist explained. "You've received some training, but largely with deception and the wielding of the lightsaber. To prepare you for the challenges that await you on Yag'Dhul, you must be shown how to wield the Force. Tell me, what do you think the Force is? What is it to a Sith?"
