Korriban/Dark Council Chambers
13:46 local time
​

Mid walked through vast halls as he made his way towards the Dark Council Chambers. His armoured boots echoed his footfalls as he marched at a steady pace.

While he had been calling Ilum his home more recently, being on Korriban was always a treat and a huge relief for the Pureblood. Sadly this wasn't a vacation trip, he was here on business. Since he had learned of very interesting occurrence in the core worlds, he had been working on a way to approach the situation. This led him to contact the dark councillor Darth Victress, who surprisingly accepted his request. There were of course others whom he could have contacted, but from the stories circling around the sith lord, Mid had a feeling she would find this information rather interesting.

He finally reached the massive doors. He gave a few loud knocks before opening the doors with the force and stepping inside the massive room. Inside he saw a rather very short figure standing in the centre. He had never met the Darth before so he wasn't sure whether or not this was her...but seeing as she was the only one who knew of the meeting this was probably her.

He knelt a few meters away from her, taking his helmet off and holding it under his right arm. "Lady Victress. It's an honour to finally meet you in person." he said proudly and sternly, in a typical soldierly fashion.

He stood back up and kept looking straight forward as he continued. "Thank you for accepting my request, I promise you the information I have will definitely be worth your time."

The dark lord had received a request for a meeting, in most cases she would have let one of the crusaders deal with it, however this one seemingly was more interesting. The ancient fortress world of Prakith, a planet that she had eyed for some time and this acolyte was presenting with information regarding it. To say the least, she was intrigued.

Her dark armored figure moved over towards him as he knelt, allowing him to exchange pleasantries before he stood to his full height. "Acolyte Samekth". She said, her voice speaking from behind her terror inspiring duraplast helm, dark sided auras palpable from the armor itself in a way, masking her shortened stature with a sinister and dreadful aura. Her voice was robotic and slightly corrupted as it came out, a considerable difference from the naive girl from Kuat that started out herself as an acolyte so many years ago. She moved past him as he spoke again, slightly turning her head in his direction as he finished. "I see that you have survived your campaign in Hoth. Valuable experience in the battle field I imagine. Now then, tell me more of these findings you have discovered regarding Prakith..."

He watched her as she walked past him, her comment causing him to chuckle a bit. "Forgive me, my lady, but I wouldn't exactly call that experience 'valuable'. I was literally a few moments away from mounting a Jedi's head on a spike when the order came in to retreat. I'm pretty sure following such an order, however tactically valuable it was, will eventually come back to bite me in the future." he explained in a light hearted manner, but he hated that order. No honour in that victory, no pride to be had. Simply tucking tail and running away like that. It was most certainly not something the Pureblood was proud of and something he intended to make up for.

He turned to face her fully before continuing. "As for Prakith, I'm sure you know that the world is easily defensible and it's massive amounts of valuable minerals would most certainly be a boon for the Empire. Problem with taking it over, is that someone had recently taken over the planet, gotten rid of its government and then proclaimed herself to be a 'goddess', forcing the people to worship her. I would find the whole scenario quite amusing if it weren't such a slap in the face to the Dark Side. I'm sure you might find it rather amusing, but to me this is utter blasphemy." he gave the full report on the situation, his voice getting more stern with every word until he finally spoke rather loudly and angrily by the time he finished.

"My lady, I stand before you with a request. Help me to eradicate this heathen from the galaxy. Not only will it be a tactical and financial bonus for the Sith Empire, but it will also spread the word of the Dark Side of the Force. We might even be able to recruit new acolytes to the Order if the Dark Side smiles on us." he spoke to her now as both warrior and priest. Leaving such heresy going unpunished will make a mockery of the church. Besides, getting a few new Speakers for the Sacellum would definitely be appreciated by the High Priestess.

[Darth Victress]

Victress folded her arms across her chest as he continued to speak, she didn't need to rely on the changes of his voice or the inflection of his tone to denote the anger that the young sith was feeling. It was considerably prevalent in merely ripples of the force as she could easily feel his blood rage and temperament change mid-way through the sentence. He was right, this heathen had the nerve to claim over a planet that was rich in dark sided riches and claim herself as a Goddess to rule over with impunity? The new Empire would never stand for such a thing and it seemed that the Dark Councilor was in agreement with the acolyte over what would be their end goal.

"I share your sentiment, Acolyte. Acquiring the realm on which abominations as well as Darth Evandrus' dark magic originated would definitely be a valuable addition to the Empire." She said, several ideas running through her mind as she paced away from the pureblood and apparently in her own thoughts for a few moments before she turned to face him once again. "I will grant your request. Seek out Crusader Eriana Fox @EmilyHuene , she has been eager to prove her loyalty to the new Empire. I will provide resources for a strike team to deal with the Planet's defenses as well as obstacles that remain in your path." She said, moving slightly closer to him.

"As for this 'Goddess', I will deal with her personally..."

[Mid Samekh]

Mid was rather surprised by her reaction. Not only was she giving him and the church full control over the attack, she was planning on taking care of the heathen personally as well. The priest had to admit that he was rather put off by this role of hers, feeling almost compelled to execute the heretic himself, but Darth Victress was still far more powerful than him and still his commanding officer. Her word was law and he had to follow.

At least they had the privilege of humiliating the heretic by shattering her precious little defences and opening the door for the dark councillor to deal the final blow.

"I'm glad that we share the same vision, my lady. And having control over such a powerful location would most certainly serve as a boost in morale for sith all over the galaxy. As for the High Priestess, you caught us at a perfect time. I have to speak to her over another matter as well so only more reason to head there as soon as possible. Thank you, Lady Victress." he spoke proudly, the anticipation for getting this invasion underway clear as daylight. He gave a small bow before making his way to the doors.

He stopped right before walking out, turning to face the sith lord once again. "Please do me a favour, my lady. When you defeat her in battle...don't make her death a quick one." he said with a maniacal grin on his face as he slipped his helmet on and walked out of the room, closing the doors as he exited.

Victress nodded towards the acolyte as he departed, giving him a curt glance followed by a light smirk as he made his final 'request'. It was unusual to say the least but she'd be lying if it wasn't the same sentiment that she too held. After all, this false goddess had taken up arms against the Empire and solidified her own miniature following; her death would not come swiftly but rather be prolonged with ample agony. The thought always was to make an example out of those that defied the Empire, for that stood as a deterrent against others contemplating similar paths.

As Mid exit, she moved over to her holocommunicator and sent out a conference call towards the Crusader in question. The dark lord's appearance would appear static over the electronic pathways but yet her palpable presence in the force could not be mistaken.

"Crusader Fox.." She said, speaking to the woman as she came into contact. "Are you ready to prove your title for the Empire?", she asked.

@EmilyHuene

 

[The Confessor]

The communicator would flash and a hologram protruded from the woman's device. Only, it was not The Confessor as she thought she was calling. Instead, a trooper in white and red armor with a Fox logo painted on the side. The trooper greeted the Darth and asked for a moment to transfer her over. The blind's Sith's voice could be heard as she asked who was calling for her. The trooper replied in kind and then handed the communicator over from his end. The hologram shifted and now would show the slender form of Lady Eriana Fox. Dressed in her usual attire and weaponry, she stood tall with no break in posture. Her bangs hung low on her forehead keeping her grey eyes hidden from sight.

"My Lady," Eriana would respond in trust; she had no idea if this woman was truly the Darth until she'd hear her speak. That was one of the few reasons she despised being blind. It wasn't often. But every now and then it got to her.

Her Darth would respond by asking the girl if she was ready to prove her title. Eriana bowed her head and replied after raising it again. "I am ready to serve. What would you have me do, Lady Victress?"

 

[Darth Victress]

.

The hologram of the Crusader flickered before her, the dark lord peering her gaze into the Confessor as the two of them spoke. They had served together in the past and quite frankly, Victress was rather pleased with her performances thus far. The blind Sith was powerful in her ways and would do well with further guidance as the Dark Councilor forged her into a weapon of darkness. She smiled behind the confines of the duraplast helm as Eriana seemingly accepted the command. "Excellent, I am granting you an opportunity to work with Mid Samekh, he is an acolyte but holds promise. I believe he has demonstrated some affinity for your church as well. There is an exiled dark-sider on Prakith, the Blood Princess. I'm giving you command to exterminate her support network and military forces. As for the princess herself, she wields ancient magic, stay clear until I arrive. I will deal with her personally.."

@EmilyHuene

 

[The Confessor]

As Eriana vowed her servitude to the Darth, she'd instruct The Confessor to work with a fellow servant within her church. She knew Mid Samekh well. Maybe not as well as she knew some of the other's she'd worked with over time, but she was glad not going into a mission blind. Lady Victress explained her travels would take them to Prakith where she and her troops were to take out their network and armed forces. But, as a warning, not to engage this woman who was called The Blood Princess.

Taking a knee, Eriana bowed her head and replied, "It will be done, my Lady. I shall await you on Prakith."

And with that, the communication was cut off and the hologram flickered away. Eriana turned to her men and began giving them new orders to redirect toward Prakith. She would then go about debriefing her Fox troopers who were always ready to fight for their Lady.
