Uping Arms

[Shikari]

Within the halls of the Sacellum of Ilum, there were many rooms. Most of these rooms were used for private prayer. Some held living quarters for Speakers who chose to make Ilum their home. Some had yet to have a purpose assigned to them. Almost all, though, were intended for worship or study or reflection of some sort. But there were one or two rooms that held a different purpose. These rooms were full of equipment and computers and other tools. They resembled the war rooms one might see on a ship of war or in the military halls of the Empire. It was in such a room that Shikari now stood. Arch-Priestess of the Sacellum that bore this planet's name and held the force-rich planet under its sway, Shikari had one purpose now in her life, one cause for which she would give her life should it be called for. She fought now for the Sacellum, to protect it, to crush it's enemies and to pave the way for it's expansion. It was towards this end that she was here now.

In the middle of the room was a large holographic display of the galaxy, sunk into the floor and surrounded by benches cut into the stone of the cave. This was Shikari's war room, where she would oversee the protection and expansion of the Sacellum until the Sacellum's fleet could be constructed, at which point she planned to spend most of her time on board a capital ship. But that time had not yet come, so for now this would do. As the door to the room slid open with a hiss and the relative warmth of the room was momentarily interrupted by the cold air of the main hall, Shikari turned to greet her comrade. "Thank you for coming. I hope that this will only be the first of many meetings such as this. It is time to start building our strength that we may expand our influence throughout the empire and throughout the galaxy. These are but the first steps."

[Mid Samekh]

Mid was in his quarters within the Sacellum, the heater doing a fantastic at keeping his room warm and dry. The same climate he was used to on Korriban. He was sitting at his desk/workbench, cleaning his lightsaber's individual parts and setting them back down on the table. His heavy armour was on the rack next to his bed along with his polearm and sith knife, and his ceremonial temple robes were neatly folded up on his bed. At the moment he was barefoot, topless and only wore a simple pair of black trousers. The alert for the conference came up on his deck with a repeating beep that was quickly silenced by the Pureblood with the press of a button.

He slid the final part of his lightsabre back in place, igniting the crimson blade to make sure it was fully operational. With a satisfied nod he extinguished the blade, gave his sleeping Tuk'ata a pet on the head and rose from his seat. He placed the lightsabre down on his bed and proceeded to dress up on the ceremonial robes. While he was much more accustomed to the heavy duraplast armour, the robes did a much better job at fighting off the piercing cold...and Mid had to admit that the robes looked slightly more fancy than the armour. He left the helmet on his bed, figuring it won't be necessary, but with a quick force pull his lightsabre and knife was on his hip, slid in underneath the sash around his waist. He still had to fashion a proper belt and clips for the outfit to properly carry his weapons.

With two flicks of his fingers he opened and closed his chamber door as he walked through and headed for the war room. While gold was nothing strange to wear for the pureblood, given that he primarily wore gold as a priest on Korriban, the white was something he was still adapting to. The white made a strange contrast against his black hair and red skin that he couldn't decide if it worked or not. He finally reached the room and, after a light knock, entered it. He gave Arch Priestess Shikari a small bow in response to her greeting. "Thank you for the invitation, sister." he said in a polite tone.

He moved over to stand next to her as his eyes were locked onto the holograms, going over all the info. "We're certainly making excellent progress but we've still got a long way to go..." he spoke softly to himself as he read the hologram over, awaiting the arrival of the next person.
