(Atravis – Three days earlier)
Thel’s travels had taken him through the vast expanse of the outer rim. Dusty backwaters, lush forest worlds, urban decay. One thing that remained consistent was his penchant for chasing credits. Antiques, trinkets, jewellery and anything else that might be of value; if there was a profit to be made, he would pursue it. He did derive some enjoyment from the process of hunting down such objects, but it would always be secondary to the credits.
Very rarely would he receive reliable information. Second hand information obtained in a grotty cantina, hearsay, rumours and speculation. It made things…time consuming. It was in a dive bar on Nar Shaddaa that Thel had heard a rumour about a large stash of credits supposedly sequestered in an old imperial facility on the planet Atravis. It was worth a look.
As soon as he disembarked from his ship, he could sense something wasn’t quite right. A faint dark presence surrounded the area. He had spent time around other Sith, but something about it felt different. He had an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. Despite the temptation to simply retreat from the planet, he didn’t; his curiosity had been piqued. The rumoured stash of credits may also have been an incentive to stay…
He took his time to explore the area, familiarising himself with it; he remained careful, trying not to stray too close to the facility itself. The feeling of darkness was almost nauseating. It seemed to grow stronger as he moved closer to the imperial complex. Having scouted the area sufficiently, he made the judgement that it would be prudent to have someone accompany him when he searched the facility. He would rather not do it alone. It also seemed sensible that the person he would call on should be another Sith; someone who could also sense the darkness that he felt.
(Atravis – Present)
There it was again. As soon as Thel stepped foot on the planet, he could sense the same dark presence. He had used his brief time away from the planet to rest and to prepare himself. He had also called on a Sith that he had worked with before on a couple of occasions (@Ambrosia ). They had first met on the planet Excarga. She seemed to be tough and resourceful. A useful ally.
Thel had landed a short distance away from the facility, allowing himself time to survey the surroundings again. He was dressed in his usual black coloured attire: a large cloak over his robes and leather boots.
