"The truth of love will always guide us

The strength above will be inside us

Forever more we'll be together

Our hearts will sew, one to the other

For the honor of love

By the power above

We have the power

All hail the rightous Empire!!!!!!" Lacus sung as she finished her song. As soon as she finished she saw her fans cheer. She looked into the crowd and saw Magus near the back of it. They had agreed he would be at every one of her concerts to protect her until he decided she was old enough to go without his protection.

Awhile later she was now in the crowd talking to several fans, asking them what they thought about the Empire.

All of the fans she talked to said they supported the Empire, Xarkun, and her father Magus, but to make sure they actually did, she read their minds. She found three supposed fans that turned out to be Rebel supporters, and one of them was a spy. She would report this to Magus later.

A few hours later everyone was gone, leaving only Magus and Lacus. "You did a good job singing their, Lacus. You can report to me on the loyalty of the fans on the way to the palace. Let's go." Magus said and they both walked away.

"I can't stay any longer." Irena breathed as she stepped out of Caden's simple, but heavenly comfortable bed. She shouldn't have even come to the damn apartment! She could've been exposed, what would her superiors at the intelligence agency... Caden was her handler, he ought to have known, better! She ought to have known better.

She slipped her tight fitting shirt back on, then her pants, boots, she sheathed her vibro shiv, and holstered her two blaster pistols. Caden stayed lying in his bed, the covers hiding the lower half of his body. He gazed at her lovingly.

"I love the job, but if I could, I'd leave it in a second, if it meant you'd come too."

"The job is important..." Irena muttered as she laced her boots. "I was recruited at the age of eighteen, Marrku. For a woman to be asked to serve her government as I have... you know I cannot leave the job, I believe in what we're fighting for. The Rebels are fools, their government does not function as ours does.... And the job is all you live for, besides me, you could never leave it."

"Are you telling me these moments are enough for you? Dont you want more?!"

"I can't play what if when I'm working a job like this, and neither can you. We knew it would be like this, I'll be up on Athrun's ship for ninety percent of the time, and of the ten percent I'm not, the five percent will be you and I. We knew we'd live off stolen moments, Marrku. There's nothing we can do about it." Irena said quietly, as she finished lacing her leather boots. Her brown eyes seemed to cut into his flesh, see into his very soul....

"I'd kill that bastard in a second, relieve you of your duties."

"I'd be assigned somewhere else if I was fortunate, if not I'd be captured, interrogated, executed. Think clearly Caden... we'll be together soon. But the job is important, the Empire is...."

"Dont you ever feel the Empire is... wrong?"

"No." Irena said firmly. "Our methods may be harsh but at least under us society functions normally, and one person makes all the decisions that it would take weeks, maybe months for a senate to decide on... now I must leave."

"Goodbye, Irena, may the Force be with you. Give Athrun hell."

"You know I can't, farwell my love."

With that Irena Derevko left the apartment, taking all the necessary precautions to not be seen she headed back to her ship and flew off planet, back to her never ending job....

(Now that I think of it, what sound DOES a blaster make when fired? I'll just say bang for now.)

"Their is something always lurking in the shadows. Those somethings have kept the galaxy at peace. Why do you think the Republic had survived so long, how the Empire survived before it toppled from the Rebellion, and how the Empire once again resurfaced? Was it all by fate? Or was someone in the shadows manipulating these events?" Light Amaneo had said to a potental recruit for the Genohardan. "I....I don't know....." the person had answered. Light gave him a devilish smile. "That is what the Genohardan does. And we want you to join us."

Light sighed as that memory surfaced. In the end, the recruit had decided, for some reason, not to join, so Light had erased his memories of that conversation. He contacted a Genohardan spy. "Has the location for the Ice Princess been found?" he asked the spy. "Yes sir. It has been located on Naboo. We don't know why for the moment, but we shall investigate." the spy replied. "Very well, carry on." Light replied and cut the connection.

"Sometimes, I wonder if it's worth it having all of this." Light muttered, very bored. Suddenly his head body guard, a human woman named On Ja, entered his office. "Security has reported no break-ins from any bounty hunters or assassins, my lord." On Ja said to him. "Good, very good." Light replied in a dull voice. In an instant, he and On Ja had drawn their blasters and had them pointed at each other.

"I hope you're a good shooter, otherwise this will be short." Light said. "As do I." On Ja replied.

BANG

The body of a would be assassin, who had hidden himself with a cloak shield generator thing(can't remember the real name of it), fell to the floor, two blaster marks showing on his chest. "I noticed that guy the moment he came in, as you probably did when you entered. I wasn't a bounty hunter for nothing. On Ja, dispose of him." Light ordered. She picked up the body and left.

Sith Master2019

Every single time Caden was called into the Imperial Intelligence office in which he worked it was about Irena. This time was no exception. Every time Caden was called into the office about Irena his mind raced, his breathing became difficult, and he broke out in a kind of hot, nervous sweat as a thousand terrible thoughts crossed his inner sanctum, his mind. This time was no exception.

Nevertheless, Caden allowed none of these emotions to show as he strode down the iron gray corridor toward his superior’s office. Marrku Caden was not emotional, he was cold, and hardened with years of experiencing death, suffering, betrayal, backstabbing, and stealth. But whenever it involved Irena… he could not bear it. Though she was capable he worried, and the grim look on his superior’s face did nothing to ease his racing mind. He sat down before the man’s shiny, black metal desk, as cold and hard as he portrayed himself to be, and he was very good at it, he was positive no one but Irena could see through his façade, only Irena knew him as he truly was, perhaps that was what he was most worried about losing….

“Welcome Agent Caden,” his director greeted solemnly.

“Good to see you Kendall.” Caden replied with a nod. Kendall ran his wrinkled hands over his bald scalp and gave a gruff sigh. Caden’s heart stopped, this was about Irena.

“It would be better to meet under different circumstances,” Kendall began. “because these circumstances are… grave, Mr. Caden, very grave.”

“Sir?”

Kendall pursed his lips and folded his hands across his black desk. “I’ll come right to the point. We believe Agent Derevko is a traitor to this Empire.”

“WHAT?!” Caden exploded before he could help himself. He stared into Kendall’s eyes as though he were trying to gauge whether or nor the man was sane. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and spoke. “Irena Derevko is a loyal agent who serves this Empire faithfully, I’ve seen no evidence to suggest—“

“Well, you aren’t exactly unbiased are you?” Kendall cut him off with an edge. Caden was rendered speechless, unbiased? What…. “I’ve personally received reports, Agent Derevko has been meeting with Admiral Athrun Takamoto periodically.”

“That proves nothing!” Caden spat.

“No, but along with that, you and I both know some important intelligence she’s turned over to us was not valid, and she’s caused the death of several of our agents acting on that intelligence!”

“Those were accidents, isolated incidents!”

“And, we’ve intercepted several transmissions detailing information about this agency, and her status to an unknown source.”

“The Emperor, she contacts the Emperor at times!”

“She was not sending this particular intelligence to the Emperor, we have confirmed it.”

“To me then, occasionally she—“

“Please,” Kendall cut him off once more, throwing up a hand to silence him. “All evidence points to Derevko’s betrayal of us, an asset confirmed her meetings with the Admiral, along with other things.”

“Asset, what…”

“We have another agent stationed on the Justic.” Kendall replied. “So, our director has devised a plan to rid us of this Derevko problem.”

“You cannot be serious! There is no conclusive evidence that Derevko is betraying us, I’m her handler! I know her!”

“That’s where you’re wrong Caden.”

“Show me the Force damned evidence then!”

“I’m not required to show you anything!”

“I—“

“Caden, I know how you feel about Derevko, and I also know that on occasion, some of your interactions with her were… not permitted.”

“What?!”

“Agent Caden, security cameras planted in your apartment have displayed you and Derevko sleeping together on several occasions, possibly engaging in s—“

“YOU PLANTED CAMERAS IN MY HOME?!”

“I was authorized to do so, yes. We’ve suspected Derevko for a long time, so we planted cameras in your home, because, as we suspected Derevko, we also believe you might have some involvement. That’s been disproved, now, you are going to help us take care of this problem.” Kendall stated.

“The hell I am!”

“If you do not, I am authorized to terminate your employment here, and by doing so you will have to be executed.”

“I—WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!”

“Long ago, Lord Xarkun decreed than anyone holding valuable intelligence for the Empire be killed if they were deemed traitorous, or simply retired from their job, or if their employment was terminated.” Kendall explained with a cruel, wolfish grin.

Caden was speechless once more.

“So,” Kendall continued. “You will help us take care of Derevko. Before sending her to infiltrate the Freedom Allaince’s ranks, we implanted her with a tracking device that doubles as an explosive device—“

“I WILL NOT HELP YOU KILL MY—“

“Yes you will, or we’ll kill you, and dispose of her regardless.”

“You bastard!”

“I’m told that a lot.” Kendall nodded. “Now, you’re to contact Derevko, find out why she has been frequently meeting with Athrun, when she feeds you the lie, you’ll tell her this can work to our advantage, you’ll tell her to continue meeting with him, find out his schedule, anything of importance so he can be assassinated…”

“I will not!”

“And,” Kendall went on as though he had not heard him speak. “Then we both will monitor her progress, and the next time she enters Athrun’s quarters we’ll detonate the tracking device and kill them both, effectively… what’s the phrase, killing two birds with one stone. After the Mon Calamari surprise attack Lord Xarkun expressed interest in the admiral’s death anyway.”

“I will never do this!”

“Then you will be terminated.”

Caden’s mind raced, if he was killed, so was Irena, there was not a thing he could do dead… but… perhaps he could warn her. Perhaps… yes… yes… he knew that Lord Xarkun… the Emperor had once expressed Irena’s value… he would… he would know…. Rapidly a plan formed in Caden’s mind.

“Fine,” the agent said. “I guess I have no other choice.”

“No, you so not. Now, you’ll need to contact Derevko at your earliest possible convenience, using this device so that we can monitor the conversation.” Kendall said, handing him a standard issue comlink. “If you attempt to contact Derevko in any other way, or warn her, you shall both be terminated immediately.”

“Fine,” Caden snapped, inwardly smiling. He snatched the comlink away from Kendall and stormed out, he knew exactly what to do.

#4 Nov 14th 2007, 4:52pm

While filling out some paperwork, Light heard his comlink beep. "Thank the Force someone finally calls...." Light muttered and answered it. "This is Light Amaneo speaking."

#5 Nov 15th 2007, 4:01pm

"This is Jarret Adasca captain of the Shadow's Edge. Listen we ran into a few problems here some psychos snuck onboard my ship and tried to kill us. We managed to kill them before that could happen, but they appear to have sabotage our hyperdrive so we are unable to reach you. If you want your cargo (I'm not sure what it is you come up with it just don't tell me it's your dry cleaning) I'm afraid your going to have to send someone to help us over here!"

#6 Nov 15th 2007, 4:08pm

(I think I have an idea for the cargo. Want to hear it?)

"I see......then that's a problem. Who do you think I should send?" Light said, stalling for time to think up a plan.

#7 Nov 15th 2007, 4:12pm

(I wouldn't mind hearing your idea)

"Well sir, I do have an emmergency hyperdrive system I could travel to Naboo since it's close enough and meet you guy there! That is if he has the money I was promised.

(Jarret prefers to be paid in nova crystals and other forms of currency that work almost anywhere and are harder to trace than credits)

#8 Nov 15th 2007, 4:17pm

"Unless you have a better idea?"

#9 Nov 15th 2007, 4:23pm

"Stay put for now. I might send someone to get you. The ysalamiri weren't damaged, right?" Light asked.

#10 Nov 15th 2007, 4:25pm

Jarret thinks to himself, so that's why my Force powers didn't work!

Light could hear someone else in the background say, 'Great, he might send someone!"

Jarret responds: "No, the your pets are fine. Sir, given the nature of my attack and the fact that they might have done who knows what else to my ship I would rather try to get to a spaceport and che...." Jarret looks behind him as his custom Astromech droid T7-O9 informed him of something. Then he said to Light:

"It appears that the emmergency hyperdrive can transport us somewhere and I'm thinking Corellia would be a better choice. Besides I know you have people there!"

#11 Nov 15th 2007, 4:35pm . Edited Nov 15th 2007, 4:39pm

"It's just I have a bad feeling about staying here for too long!"

#12 Nov 15th 2007, 4:41pm

"Very well then, that's ok with me. Go to Coriella then. I'll tell you who to meet later." Light answered.

#13 Nov 15th 2007, 4:42pm

"Thank you sir. By the way do you know who these guys who attacked us might be?"

#14 Nov 15th 2007, 4:44pm

"I'll have to check with my sources. Now I want that ysalamiri soon, Jarret. It's very important for a future plan." Light said after a moment.

(Sadly, I have to go now.)

#15 Nov 15th 2007, 4:47pm

"I'll be sure to do that! I think I already know the person you are going to send. I'll just deliver them to him and then I'll take whatever cargo of yours he wants me to transport at half price to make up for this mishap. (Jarret prefers to stay on the good side of his clients!!!) I'll contact you if anything else comes up. No need to worry Mr. Amaneo, I haven't let you down yet and I don't ever plan to!"

With that said Jarret turned of his comlink and proceeded to make his way to Corellia.

#16 Nov 15th 2007, 5:02pm . Edited Nov 15th 2007, 5:03pm

"Excellent. Leave me now." Light commanded his aide as he was brought the Force-blocking animals. "Now, what could I do with these animals?" Light pondered......

#17 Nov 23rd 2007, 10:36am

Darth Ravik was curious about if what he heard is true. So he naturally, went to find his old acquaintence Light Amaneo. Light may have be an underhanded little Gizka, but Ravik actually rather enjoyed Light's company. He even sensed that Light may have something new prepared against him (he never really bothered to threaten Light too much, but this behavior was expected since after all, Ravik was a Sith). He was actually curious on what he had planned now. He walked through the doors and waited in the lobby outside Light's office asking the secretary to tell Light Amaneo tha Ravik wanted to speak to him. She got right on it.

#18 Nov 23rd 2007, 7:48pm . Edited Nov 23rd 2007, 7:50pm

"Activate the ysalamiri." Light said just before he got the message that Ravik wanted to see him. "Send him in."

#19 Nov 23rd 2007, 7:51pm . Edited Nov 23rd 2007, 7:53pm

Ravik detected a something like a bubble expand out and suppress his Force Powers. He was impressed and troubled. Perhaps Light had gotten those Yslamari he had heard his guards talking about him trying to get. Ravik could tell because he had encountered Yslamari before and new what it felt like when they canceled out the Force capabilities of those who are gifted with its use. This was still a problem, but Light didn't know what Darth Ravik was capable of. Even without the Force at his command Ravik had other tricks. Though he wished he had brought some bodyguards with him.

He walked into Light's office and scanning the room with his cybernetic eyes detected nothing he needed to worry about, aside from the usual of course. He didn't show any signs of weakness as he approached Light. He walked up to Light Amaneo and said:

"I see you have new pets, Light. I assume you know why I'm here?"

#20 Nov 23rd 2007, 7:59pm

"Let me guess, you need information?" Light asked him.

#21 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:02pm

"In a manner of speaking. I just need to verify a rumor I have heard. What I have heard is that a mysterious group of 'Jedi' having been seen operating within Toryaz Station in the Kuat System! I would like to know if this is true? I will of course pay you for the information!"

#22 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:06pm

"Yes, it is true." Light simply said.

#23 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:09pm

"Good. I am glad to here it!"

Ravek laid a pouch of precious stones and gems so that the funds couldn't be easily tracked (in the Star Wars Universe credits can be easily traced).

"However, I have another favor to ask you?"

#24 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:13pm

"Sure." Light said after putting them up.

#25 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:15pm

Ravik picked up a metal piece that was lying on Light's table and was fiddling with it as he spoke:

"His Darkness, Emperor Xarkun is interested in the where abouts and apprehension of a man by the name of Jarret Adasca and is willing to pay quite the fortune for the location and twice that for his capture. I have heard he does a lot of smuggling. I am not sure who he works for, but I figured since your into that type of things, that you might know something about him?"

#26 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:20pm . Edited Nov 23rd 2007, 8:21pm

"Last I know he was on Corellia." Light said.

#27 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:28pm

"I see. I'll be sure to follow up on that! If you find anything else on him please notify me right away! Well I enjoyed this chat, but I have to be somewhere in a hurry!"

Ravek deposited another bag of valuable stones on Light's desk as he left. Then as an after thought he turned and said:

"By the way Light, I would hate to think you were holding back anything from me. If you do, not even your little pets will stop me from killing you!"

As he said that he tossed the metal object he had been fiddling with on Light's desk and left. Light was startled to find that it had been completely bent out of shape and into a ball.

#28 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:36pm

((Sorry if this was cut too short Anime, but Light didn't seem like the type of person to hold a long conversation with Ravik. I am actually hoping that Ravik will interact with Light every once in a while. I also figured that soon Ravik will probably encounter your other characters so we can chat there too.))

#29 Nov 23rd 2007, 8:42pm

(Don't worry, I don't mind.)

"He always knows how to pay with the right stuff that won't be traced.....smart, for a Sith." Light commented.

#30 Nov 23rd 2007, 9:40pm

Jacen Farrelle sighed audibly, as he slipped through the Coruscant streets with Taalfar right behind him. Why he decided taking a trip to the heart of the Sith Empire was a good idea eluded him. He ducked behind the corner as a patrol passed by and mentally cheered when the passed by him and his apprentice. The patrols were starting to pop up more and more giving him the fear that he may be heading straight into the heart of their base. Jacen didn't care however, actually it was a very thrilling idea. He could already feel the adrenaline flow through his veins as he ventured further into the imperial city.

Turning around the corner Jacen stopped and groaned, while slowly inching to a nearby alley. In front of him were roughly four imperial patrols conversing with each other. They hadn't noticed him yet and he intended to keep it that way.

"Hey you stop!"

"Sithspit"

"Hey thats treasonous!"

"Fierfek"

Taalfar offered a curse in his native tongue and followed me as I ran down the streets, a dozen stormtroopers behind me.

"Taalfar next time I even think of going anywhere near an imperial base feel free to hit me"

Taalfar roared what Jacen could only speculate, a yes and continued running.

#31 Nov 28th 2007, 5:43pm . Edited Nov 28th 2007, 7:07pm

Edit made a mistake cancel this post, so I'm still running

Nearby, a shadowy figure in light gray robes and gray rags completely covering every part of her skin swept into a cantina. She paused to look around before she found who she was looking for. A woman with short spiky blond hair and lightning bolt tattoos on her temples sat at a table with another man. The mysterious figure kept to the sides, blending in with the less-than-savory crowd, and made her way to their table. Once there, she ignored their curious stares and simply laid a datapad on the table in front of the woman.

It had two things written on it. One was a ludicrous amount of credits.

The other was a list of locations.

The mysterious figure spoke. Her voice was muffled and in a whisper, hardly audible in the noisy cantina, but the woman at the table could hear her. "Some of the locations may change," she whispered raspily, "But, if they do, the payment will increase. Will you take me where I want to go?" she asked.

#33 Nov 29th 2007, 6:37am . Edited Nov 30th 2007, 1:50pm

Jacena and Taalfar dashed into the cantina, knocking down several unlucky patrons. They looked around frantically and jumped over the counter and handed the barkeep a chip worth almost 100 credits.

"If a dozen stormtroopers come in here looking for us, you say we were never here, ok?"

The barkeep nodded and went back to his work. Not five minutes later a dozen stormtroopers entered the bar asking for him, and true to his word the bartender told them a lie.

"Hey sarge we've been patrolling all day, can we stay for a few drinks?"

The sergeant pondered it for a moment and nodded, causing the rest of the troopers to cheer.

Jacen and Taalfar cursed quietly to each other from there hiding spot behind the bar.

#34 Nov 29th 2007, 7:00am

Bob the stormtrooper sat down at the bar, and looked over at Mark the stormtrooper. "I'll tell you what," Bob said over his drink after they took off their helmets, "I'm pretty tired of chasing that idiot and his walking hairpile all over Coruscant. Filthy Wookiees... now I can't get that smell out of my nose! I still smell Wookiee fur!" he commented.

Mark rolled his eyes. "You know, Bob, you've got a big mouth. We aren't exactly in one of the safer cantinas," he commented before taking a drink.

Bom merely laughed, taking another deep swig and gesturing to the barkeeper for another. "Aw, don't worry, Mark... I'm sure everyone here agrees with me... Wookiees are the rodents of the galaxy. Nothing but big, furry, smelly, stupid animals who eat everything in sight. Nope, only thing those beasts are good for is carrying ore from the mines. Speaking of carrying," he said, his arm snaking around the waist of the waitress who was just walking by, "how about you carrying my child, eh, pretty lady?" he asked, obviously getting quite drunk.

#35 Nov 29th 2007, 7:20am

(rimera thanks, and you'll be needed for more dialogue in a moment)

Taalfar stood up from behind the counter and roared in the stormtrooper's face, causing the idiot to freeze in fear. Jacen wasn't far behind him, activating his lightsaber and watching as the the troopers scrambled for the blasters.

They fired causing Jacen to swing his lightsaber in a defensive pattern as he moved closer and closer to the rest of the squad, with Taalfar right behind him.

several of the stormtrooper's were cut down by their own blaster fire; However the rest only saw a flash of silver and green before death took them.

Jacen deactivated his lightsaber and unceremoniously lifted Bob right out of his chair.

"You got a problem with wookies?"

#36 Nov 29th 2007, 7:28am

Bob's eyes went wide. "N-no, I d-don't have a problem! Honest! I... I love Wookiees! They... they're such neat, industrious beasts. I mean people! And... and they smell so lemony fresh..." The look in Jacen's eyes told him he wasn't buying it. "You... you're not going to kill me, are you?" he asked hopefully.

#37 Nov 29th 2007, 7:32am

Jacen smiled at the shaking trooper, "Of course not, my wookie friend will be glad to kill you."

With those words said, Taalfar grabbed the unfortunate trooper and painfully ripped Bob's arms off, and began to pound him into the floor.

Jacen stared at the rest of the patrons and in a rather commanding voice yelled "Anyone else got a problem with us!?"

The other patrons quickly turned back to their business.

"Alright Taalfar, lets get out of here, I don't think we'll be welcome for much longer"

Taalfar growled in agreement and together they set off towards their ship

#38 Nov 29th 2007, 7:39am . Edited Nov 29th 2007, 7:49am

The mysterious shrouded woman watched the scene carefully, her steely ice-blue eyes watching Jacen's every move. When he looked her way, their eyes met for an instant, before she turned back to the people at the table.

#39 Nov 29th 2007, 7:50am

The man sneered. "Those stomies are worthless." Tema cuffed him roughly on the back off his head.

"Gakushi-Dono's Stormers aren't that weak." She turned to the woman. "Regardless of what I think about the job, we should probably leave soon." She put down her glass. "Okay, if you want first-class & in inflight move plus cocktails, you'll have to pay top credit. IMPERIAL Credits of course."

#40 Nov 30th 2007, 11:53am

"Of course," the woman rasped, slipping a substantial amount of credits onto the table. "The rest you will get each time we arrive at a destination. I want privacy, and that includes the ability to make private transmissions. No questions asked," she said, her voice barely audible above the noise of the crowd. "I already know where your ship is... I will meet you there," she said, and left.

#41 Nov 30th 2007, 1:55pm

"Brr!" said the pilot. "I feel a bit uneasy about this."

Tema smirked "Gakushi-Donos is keeping an eye on us, If we get more trouble than we can handle, he'll get us out."

"Get YOU out! What kind of fool do you take me for? YOU have little to worry about, but everyone else is expendable, I say what hapened to Sir Madzen!"

"He had that comming, after threatening our Lord's 'pet'"

He sighed. "So we're gonna give her a lift anyway."

"You have NOTHING to worry about." She smirked. A Carrack Cruiser is quite survivable. We'll be done in no time."

"I was afraid you'd say that."

Tema 'affectionately' broke her drinking glass against the side of his helmet.

"Let's get going"

#42 Dec 03rd 2007, 1:53pm

It hadn't taken the mysterious woman long to board the ship... she had a droid, who looked to be falling apart, and a small amount of equipment that she insisted only the droid carry. She did not give her name, and demanded precious little, only to be left alone in one of the ship's rooms until they arrived at the first destination.

Their first destination was Coruscant.

#43 Dec 03rd 2007, 6:23pm

"Madam Starstealer," the captain said nervously, "Are you sure this is wise?"

"I don't recall Lord Xarkun barring travel to his world, besides, this ship is still a Commisioned Vessel of the Navy of the Galactic Empire, and YOU are still a Commisioned officer." She turned and walked away.

"Where are you going?"

"To see how are guest is doing."

#44 Dec 04th 2007, 12:19pm

The mysterious woman sat at the computer, typing, when Tema Starstealer entered the room. Looking up, the woman scowled, erasing what was on the screen with the push of a button. She stood and spoke in a raspy voice, "I have asked for little. Only privacy... have I not paid you enough to get that?!" she demanded angrily.

#45 Dec 04th 2007, 2:29pm

Tema smirked. "Sorry, just wanted to see if you needed anything, besides soltitude of course. We don't normally transport anonymous individuals." She winked. "You aren't planning any trouble for the Empire, are you? As a loyal Imperial, it's my obligation to ask."

#46 Dec 05th 2007, 11:46am

The mysterious woman sighed. "My plans have nothing to do with the Empire," she rasped, and activated her computer screen so that Tema could see it. All that was on it was a bunch of scientific jargon and formulas that Tema wouldn't have been able to understand. "As you can see, I am a scientist. It is my wish to study anomalies," she said in a raspy voice. She cocked her head, her hood sliding back slightly to reveal grey bandages wrapped around most of her face. "That is why the the destinations on the list are subject to change. I am seeking a... creation... of mine, that has been sent out to record information on these anomalies. I have a few places I wish to look, as well as a tracking device which will lead me to it, I hope. Once I retrieve my creation, I will only need passage back to Kamino, and will trouble you no longer," she said, her voice still barely above a whisper. It seemed evident that she was most likely suffering from injuries. "Now, I trust I have satisfied your curiosity? The Empire has funded my research before, and once I retrieve my creation, it will do so again. Believe me, if the Empire did not approve of my activities, I would not have been allowed to live for as long as I have."
