SW RAW

EPISODE 3: RODIA

As the Ural begins to drop down towards Rodia, the crew find the landing pad over run with Stormtroopers, appearing to have taken charge of it.

Qotaro:He looks towards the landing pad, as he blinks, "Oh... oh..." He looks around, and he crawls into a cupboard, closing the door behind him

Vek:He walks over to the cupboard, kicking at it gently "No use hiding in there."

Stormtrooper:As the Ural is coming down, the crew can see the world is a primary swampy land, very different from their homeland, and there are large bubbles with buildings inside of them all around. Getting closer to the landing pad, a voice comes over the intercom, saying

"State your purpose."

primarily*

homeworld*

Qotaro:He makes a noise, and a moment later, he begins to open up the door to crawl out, but when the intercom comes on, he yelps, and closes the door back, trying to find another exit out

Vek:"...Uh..passing through?"

Stormtrooper:"There is nothing to see here, move on."

Qotaro:"What?" He finally pokes his head out of the cupboard, blinking

Vek:"Well, we've gotta land for a pit stop, you know."

B8-G6:As Qotaro pokes out, G6 looks down to him and says

"He said we should move on, master Qotaro."

Stormtrooper:"There's not to see here. Move on."

Qotaro:"... No, no." He shakes his head. He then points over to the fuel gauge, as he makes a zero sign with his hand

Vek:"Nyeta! Omu`sata, Ookwass dok pundwa keena? "

Qotaro:His eyes go wide, as he puts is hands up and starts doing a cease motion

his*

Stormtrooper:"..."

the crew can then hear a bunch of people talking before the main stormtrooper comes back a few seconds later

"Can you say that again?"

Vek:"We just need fuel."

"That's all we need."

"We won't make it to another planet without any."

"So I don't care if there is nothing to see here."

Stormtrooper:"One moment."

with another few moments of talking in the background, the main stormtrooper says

"We'll bring you some gas, don't leave your ship."

By this time, the Ural has landed and is being surrounded by stormtroopers, making sure it doesn't do anything

Qotaro:"Eeeeh!" He closes the cupboard again, and quiets his breathing really still

B8-G6:"Excuse me sir, but I believe as long as we do as they say, you have no need to fear."

Vek:He sighs and steps back towards the others on the ship "They can't be up to anything good if they're being this anal about us getting off the damn ship.."

Qotaro:He sticks his hand out, "No storm!"

He blinks, and peaks out the cupboard a bit more

Vek:He grabs his lightsaber, sticking it on his belt, as he grabs his sword and attaches it to his other hip "Alright, let's go, Q."

B8-G6:"Sir, do you plan on leaving the ship?"

Qotaro:He nods, as he crawls out of the cupboard, gathering his weapon and hiding it on himself, as he walks up next to Vek

Vek:"..Yes."

B8-G6:"But what about the troopers?"

Vek:"I'm sure they won't mind, if they don't see us."

Qotaro:He nods, as he pulls his hood over himself tighter, trying to hide his jawa-like apperance

appearance*

B8-G6:"I see. What should I do?"

Vek:"..Uh..don't let anyone in."

"We'll be back before you know it."

B8-G6:"Yes sir."

Qotaro:He nods, and pulls out a wrench, pointing around at various points in the ship, making a wrenching motion

Stormtrooper:As the Stormtroopers walk around the ship, they notice it's a piece of shit and decide to only leave three troopers beside it as the others continue their duties

Qotaro:He then goes over to the garbage chute that leads to the outside, and looks back at Vek, nodding

Vek:"But first, let us out, Bait." He walks to the garbage chute

B8-G6:"Yes, sir."

B8 heads to the button and waits for the two to get in the chute before he presses it, dropping Qotaro and Vek out

Qotaro:He goes to let out a scream, but keeps his mouth shut, as he lands, and looks all around once he hits the ground

Vek:"Alright, let's see what..other green things they are trying to hide from us.." He speaks in a hushed tone

Qotaro:He nods, as he puts one of his fingers up to his mouth, before looking out, ready to move out with Vek

Stormtrooper:As the Stormtroopers sit idly by the ramp of the ship, guarding it, Vek can see that no far away is one of the massive bubbles they saw while landing with a giant tower inside

Vek:He starts advancing toward the bubble

Qotaro:He moves with Vek

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (103)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (135)

Vek:Makes a Thievery Check! (94)

Stormtrooper:As Vek and Qotaro start walking, one of the stormtroopers turns around and sees him. Upon seeing Vek, the stormtrooper yells at him while running over to the two

"Hey! How did you get out of the ship!?"

Qotaro:"Yaaaahh!" He stops, standing next to Vek, as they had been discovered, and he slips his arms into his robes

Vek:"..What ship?"

Stormtrooper:".."

As the stormtroopers catch up, they all look at each other puzzled by the question

"This ship."

Vek:"Oh, I almost didn't see it there...I've never set foot on that ship."

Stormtrooper:Charms! (25)

Vek:Charms! (105)

Stormtrooper:"Oh, our apologies for interrupting you. You can presume."

With that, the storm troopers go back the front of the ship

Qotaro:He blinks, and slips his arms back out, as he stretches and gives Vek a thumbs up

Vek:He smiles and starts walking back towards the bubble "Worked like a charm, eh, Q?"

Qotaro:He walks with Vek, nodding, as he chuckles and begins looking around the planet, curious about some things he could swipe

Unknown:As the two continue on towards the bubble, the only things along the way is water, dirt, moss, and the wood and leafs found on the trees

Qotaro:He frowns, shaking his head, disappointed in the lack of technology or shiny gadgets

Unknown:Once the two reach the bubble, they find it making a slow humming noise and moving in a circle in a very slow pace

Qotaro:He puts his hand on his chin, as he watched it very intently, curious as to the nature of this bubble. He then picks up a stick, and presses it against the bubble

Unknown:The stick seems to go through the bubble with no problem

Qotaro:"..." He looks to the left, and then to the right, and goes to poke the bubble

Unknown:As Qotaro pokes the bubble, his fingers feel all tingly but nothing seems to happen

Qotaro:"Waahh!" He lets out a noise, as his fingers feel weird, but he then looks back to Vek, chuckling a bit

Vek:He chuckles a bit "Well, what's the worst that could happen?"

He steps through

Qotaro:He nods, and then goes to roll through the barrier, letting out an action-movie yell

Unknown:As the two go through, they fill tingling through their bodies, for as long as the bubble seems to be touching them.

Once through however, the tingling stops

Qotaro:He rolls back onto his feet, "Watchaaa!"

Vek:"....Well, there's a first time for everything..Let's get going." He starts heading for the structure ahead

Qotaro:He nods, and begins walking with Vek towards the structure, rubbing his hands together

Vek:"Wonder what kinda people live here...besides the troopers."

Unknown:As the two continue walking towards the building, they see even more stormtroopers guarding the entrance as well as a few stationed around the usual landing pad

Vek:"..Alright."

"It appears clear to me.."

"That you're gonna have to sneak in there."

Qotaro:He chuckles, and goes to head in, his eyes bright and wide as he looks around, and nods, having a feeling there'd be some nice things in there for him

Stormtrooper:Making his way towards the large structure, Qotaro sees a small area he could get into on the right side of the building. Or he could try to sneak between the stormtroopers

Qotaro:He heads for the side of the building, going to head in, hopefully undetected

Stormtrooper:As he gets to the open area, he finds that it's full of scraps, broken tools and garbage

He also sees a hole that leads up into the building

Qotaro:He quickly starts grabbing all sorts of scrap and tools, stashing them on his person

Stormtrooper:As he's stashing all of the broken garbage in his pockets, Qotaro hears two people talking

Qotaro:He keeps picking things up, but listens intently to what he can hear

(To Qotaro): "Have you went into the second left floor yet?" "No, I just heard they have the Rodians working over time on getting all of the jeps out of the rocks." "I heard only the women are on floor two. All of the men are down in the mines." "... Have you ever actually seen a rodian woman?" "No." "Me either."

Qotaro:He blinks, as he stuffs his pockets a bit more, before trying to find a way onto the second floor, curious now

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (85)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (125)

Stormtrooper:As Qotaro makes his way into and through the building, he finds a stair way that leads up and another that leads down.

Qotaro:"Watcha..." He says, quietly to himself, as he goes to ascend the stairs upwards first

Stormtrooper:Lucks Out! (49)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (81)

Stormtrooper:While Qotaro makes his way through the building, being undetected, Vek hears something slugging through the water behind him. Upon reaching the second floor, Qotaro hears noises coming from all directions, some being screams of pain, some being a synced stomp, some being chains, and some being the sound of metal hitting metal.

Qotaro:He blinks, as he slowly rears his head around, trying to take a peak around and get a good look at what was going on

Rodian:As he peaks around, Qotaro sees multiple rodians with torn clothing, in chains, chipping away at rocks with a turquoise color. He can also see a rodian being hit by a stormtrooper at the edge of his current view

Vek:He puts his hand on his sword, turning to look

Rodian:As he turns around, Vek can see a bloody rodian stare at him before falling into the water.

Qotaro:"Batcha..." He shakes his head, and grabs a random tool in his pocket, throwing it to the other side of the room to distract the stormtroopers

Shoots! (65)

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (51)

Vek:".." He blinks a bit

"Hello?"

Stormtrooper:As the tool hits a wall on the other side of the room, Qotaro sees multiple stormtroopers make their way towards the noise

Rodian:Vek gets no response

Qotaro:He slowly crawls over to some of the chained up Rodians, as he blinks, and getting curious, he touches one of their faces, feeling it

Rodian:The rodians have no reaction as they are all focused on the rocks. Their faces feel scaly and rough

Qotaro:"Watcha..." He then pulls out a random tool from his pocket, and hands it to the Rodian, then points at their shackles

Vek:He reaches into the water

Rodian:The rodians pay no attention to Qotaro. As Vek reaches into the water, his clothes begin to get the Rodian's blood on them however it doesn't seem to move

Qotaro:"Batcha." He shakes his head, and takes the tool, poking it against the Rodian's face, and then tries to put it in their hand, and moves their hand towards the shackles

Rodian:As the tool is put into it's hands, the Rodian throws it across the room

Qotaro:"..." He shakes his head, and goes to get away before others look his way, as he gives up on this Rodian for the time

Vek:He tries to lift him out of there "What the hell happened to you?"

Rodian:As the rodian is picked up, he can see it has a collar on with a turquoise gem inside. The rodian also appears to have cuts all over his body as well as a large blast wound on his face.

Stormtrooper:Qotaro sees only one Stormtrooper run back to the thrown tool and looks down to it before looking up to the group of Rodians

Vek:He looks to see how easy it would be to pry the collar off

Rodian:The collar seem to be attached to the skin of the Rodian

Vek:"..Wel.."

Qotaro:He just stays in the shadows, watching for now

Vek:"Can you speak any?"

Stormtrooper:Suddenly the two hear a siren begin to go off from the tower

Qotaro:"Batcha!"

He tries to sneak his way out of there

Rodian:Vek gets no response while Qotaro sees all of the rodians stop and bend over on to the table.

Qotaro:He blinks, and watches for a moment longer

Vek:"Uh oh." He assumes Q got caught, and lets the Rodian rest back in the water, assuming he's amphibious, as he goes to investigate

Stormtrooper:As he stays and watches, he sees the storm troopers begin to march around the rooms, leaving and entering as a few of them begin to go around and check the rodians. Vek can see all of the stormtroopers that were guarding the front are now gone

Qotaro:"Gah..." He lets out a small curse out of his breath, and decides he has to get out of there, feeling a bit worried, as he goes to scramble out

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (46)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (121)

Stormtrooper:With all of the stormtroopers being too busy with the rodians to notice a knee high little man sneaking around in the shadows, Qotaro manages to make it down the stairs and back to the way he came in from without being seen

Qotaro:He approaches Vex, as he points at him, then back at the structure, and says, "Watcha! Bad! Bad!"

Vek:He runs in the front, sword at the ready by this point

Qotaro:"... Watcha..." He reluctantly followers, looking around

Vek*

Vek:"H-"

"Oh."

"There you are."

"Find anything good?"

Qotaro:He nods, and then shows him all of the scrap and tools he stashed on him

Vek:"Well, what's bad in there?"

Qotaro:He then makes a circle around his neck, and makes a choking noise, pulling on an invisible chain, and then he starts acting out like he's mining with an invisible pickaxe

Vek:"...Okay, that's pretty bad."

"Come on, this way."

He goes back to look for the rodian from earlier

Qotaro:He follows, wobbling a bit

Rodian:As he gets to the Rodian, he sees the water around him is almost completely red

Vek:He goes to fetch him out "Come on.."

Qotaro:"... Oh..." He shakers his head, and grabs a stick, poking him with it

shakes*

Rodian:The stick has no effect as Vek pulls him out, he sees that the Rodian is lifeless, having died when he last saw him

Vek:".....Shit.."

Qotaro:"..." He just goes quiet

Vek:He lays him to rest, back in the water "Well..let's just get out of here."

He starts heading back to their ship

Qotaro:He nods, "Batcha." He rolls his neck, and heads back with Vek

Unknown:As the two make their way back to the ship, they see the same storm troopers there

Qotaro:He rolls his neck, and shrugs his shoulders, as he tries to climb up the chute, groaning

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (97)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (82)

Vek:Makes a Thievery Check! (60)

Stormtrooper:As Qotaro makes his way there, the Stormtrooper look over and see the two trying to get back in the ship

"Hey, wait a minute.."

Qotaro:"..." He gulps

Stormtrooper:"You said you didn't see this ship."

Vek:"I didn't, until you pointed it out."

"It's a nice ship."

Qotaro:He raises his hand at Vek and makes a cease movement

Stormtrooper:".. Hey's lying. Fire!"

Vek:"...Well, nice eno-"

Stormtrooper:Shoots! (33)

Vek:"We're under attack!"

Qotaro:"Utini!"

Vek:Defends! (36)

Qotaro:He hits the deck

Defends! (86)

Vek:He pulls out his lightsaber, waving it around without activating it "Stay back!"

Stormtrooper:Both Qotaro and Vek manage to dodge the attacks

"Is that a microphone?"

Vek:He holds it out and turns it on

Qotaro:He books it for the ship, confident Vek can take them down

Stormtrooper:As he turns it, the stormtroopers step back and then fires again

"He's a wielder, fire!"

Shoots! (101)

Vek:Defends! (64)

Stormtrooper:Shoots! (52)

Shoots! (42)

Vek:Defends! (52)

Defends! (51)

Stormtrooper:Does (29) Damage!

Vek:He gets into his stance and goes a-swingin', using his acrobatics and force speed

Makes a Dexterity Check! (166)

Stormtrooper:Defends! (64)

Vek:Does (42) Damage!

He cuts him in half, diagonally, and as he drops to the floor he looks towards the other two "You two didn't hit me, so you can just walk away."

Stormtrooper:"What?"

"... But that was our commander."

Charms! (22)

Vek:Charms! (31)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Willpower Check! (99)

Vek:Charms! (31)

Stormtrooper:The Stormtroopers both fire at Vek

Shoots! (98)

Shoots! (25)

Vek:Defends! (115)

Defends! (88)

He rolls out of the way and jump-swings at the nearest one

Makes a Dexterity Check! (197)

With his impressive acrobatics, of course

Stormtrooper:"AhhH!"

Defends! (20)

Vek:Does (78) Damage!

He scoops down into his clavicle and back out the other way

Stormtrooper:Another stormtrooper drops as the last one drops his blaster and stares at Vek, pondering on what he should do

1

The Stormtrooper takes out a knife and runs towards Vek

"NO!"

Attacks! (192)

Vek:He raises his lightsaber up to defend, unaware of his rage

Defends! (81)

Stormtrooper:Does (11) Damage!

Vek:He goes to stab him, gritting his teeth "STOP!"

Makes a Dexterity Check! (199)

Stormtrooper:Defends! (184)

Vek:Does (57) Damage!

Stormtrooper:The stormtrooper is struck down, has his helmet goes flying and he drops to the moss covered ground, dead

Vek:he coughs a bit, and lugs them onto the ship

Percieves! (24)

Stormtrooper:Lucks Out! (98)

Just a few seconds after Vek gets the boddies stowed away inside, five more storm troopers walk up and each place down a large barrel

"Heres your gas. Now take it a le-... Wait a second."

"Where are the other storm troopers?"

"Where are the three men I left here to guard your ship."

Vek:"I dunno, they saw some kinda scaly..green guy over that way, ran after him."

Stormtrooper:"Hmm.."

Qotaro:He's already back in the cupboard by this point

Vek:Charms! (57)

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (32)

"How did he get out of the barrier... Alright. Leave as soon as possible. This planet has a disease that has been killing it's inhabitants."

Percieves! (104)

As the stormtrooper turns around to leave he stops and sees it

Upon stopping, he turns back towards Vek and asks

"Did you happen to see any of my men's faces?"

Vek:"Can't say I did."

Stormtrooper:"Hmm.."

"Why is one of their helmets laying on the ground over there?"

Vek:"Why should I know?"

Stormtrooper:Percieves! (44)

Vek:Charms! (89)

Stormtrooper:"I don't know. But I don't like you. Hurry up with the gas."

Vek:He knocks on the cupboard "Go get the gas."

Qotaro:"Watcha!"

He crawls out, and goes over to get the fuel, as he looks at the stormstroopers

"... Utini!"

He grabs the fuel

Stormtrooper:"Whoa!"

Qotaro:"Batcha!"

Makes a Strength Check! (45)

He strains, groaning, as his legs scratch against the ground, before he hits the ground and groans, "Gah..."

Stormtrooper:"What are you/"

Qotaro:"... Watcha?"

Vek:"Bait, go help him out."

Stormtrooper:"Watchata?"

Qotaro:"Utini!"

B8-G6:"Yes, sir."

Bait goes out to help pick up the barrels and bring them in

Stormtrooper:"Wait a second, is this little creature your pet?"

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No, no."

"Batcha."

Stormtrooper:"Batcha you, you little critter."

Qotaro:"... Gabba."

Stormtrooper:"Why don't you shut your gabba!"

Qotaro:"Gah..."

Vek:"...He's my brother."

Stormtrooper:"Are you trying to mess with me?"

"He's your what!?"

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No, no, watcha."

Vek:"It's complicated."

Qotaro:He points at Vek, "Brootha."

towards

Stormtrooper:The stormtroopers look to the ship and back to Qotaro and just shake their head in confusion as they keep watching Qotaro

Qotaro:"... Utini!" He tries to get the fuel on the ship with B8

B8-G6:As Bait finishes putting the barrels on the ship he tells Vek that

"We're all good, sir."

Vek:"Alright." He goes to shut the ramp

Qotaro:"Gabbada!"

Stormtrooper:As the ramp shuts, the last thing they can hear is

"Should have killed them."

Qotaro:He sits down at a table, chuckling, dumping the tools and scrap out, as he laughs, excitedly going through it all

Vek:He tells Bait to make sure it's all fueled up, as he goes to get any of their medical supplies

B8-G6:As Bait fills up the ship, Vek gets himself some fixed up, and Qotaro goes through his new garbage, the storm troopers leave them be

After almost an hour, Bait goes back to Vek and tells him

"Sir, we should be ready to go."

Qotaro:"Gabba! Watcha ba!"

Vek:"Alright, hit it."

B8-G6:Bait gets in the pilot seat and begins take off

The Ural heads out into space, headed for the next planet

"So where to next, master Vek?"

"The choices are Radnor or Christophsis."

Qotaro:"Hmm... Oobaga!"

Vek:"...Yes, Radnor it is."

He takes the stormtroopers weapons and some of their armor before dumping them in the garbage chute, as he goes to launch them into space

EPISODE 3: RODIA END

Unknown:After the Ural exits the planet's view, a man walks up to the bent over Rodians on the table and says with a frown

"If anyone else tries to leave, I will not hesitate to send you to hell and bring you back just so you can continue working. All of you are under my control. None of you have your own lives, none of you have freedom. I own all of you. If any of you do anything against the rules I've put here, I will put a hole in the head of the ones you love. This is the fourth Rodian to disobey and try to leave. If it's not the last, we will kill all of you and get someone else to do your job."

With that, the man leaves the room and the Rodians are sent back to work

EPISODE 5 // START

Unknown:The sun was setting on the peaceful planet of Druckenwell, an industrial planet that sat on the Corellian Run. As a women short curly chestnut hair stood up from sitting a crate down, she heard a whistle from behind accompanied by laughter. As she turned around, a group of kids ran away giggling, letting her go back to her back breaking work on the ship yard she was a mechanic at, however she jumped with a gasp when she turns back around to see Olivar standing in front of her. Able to see her face, Olivar knows for sure that this woman is Hordo Golder, a serial killer with a bounty of seven thousand credits. Once she has calmed down, she asks

Hordo:"What the hell do you want?"

Olivar Uses Telepathy!

Olivar:Despite him being sure, he's still wary. He knows that looks can be deceiving, but they can be an indicator, and this instills doubt in him

He begins to see if she has memories of all these murders

Hordo:Makes a Willpower Check! (89)

Olivar:Uses the Force! (175)

Hordo:Olivar sees a series of photos of her cooking, placing poison in the food and serving it to families that ate a restaurant she used to work at. He also gets pictures of her sitting on a big ship flying from planet to planet and a few arguments with another woman

Cocking her head, Hordo questions him again

"Hello? Either say what you have to say or move."

Olivar:He's just processing what he saw for a moment "..."

Hordo:She goes to shove him aside as she continues on working

Olivar:As she passes by, he looks at her, and goes to grab her back the back of her hair and slam her to the ground

Makes a Dexterity Check! (74)

Hordo:Perceives! (29)

Un-expecting, Hordo is suddenly yanked to the ground from behind screaming as she falls

"FUAGH!"

Olivar:He goes to toss her over on her back "You're under arrest."

He goes to put his knee down on her back

Hordo:"What the hell?!"

She calls out as she's turned over and Olivar sits his knee on her to keep her from moving

"Ow, what do you think you're doing?"

Olivar:"You're under arrest."

Random:"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?"

Some random man yells out as he begins walking up

Olivar:He pulls out his handcuffs, and goes to put her in them, keeping knee down on her back

Hordo:As the laser cuffs turn on and Hordo finds herself unable to move her hands hardly as the lasers make them slightly numb

Olivar:He flashes his lightsaber, not even looking at the rando "Stand back. She's a violent criminal."

Random:"No she's not! She's my wife!"

Olivar:He stands, dusting off his hands

"Well, your wife is a serial killer. My condolences."

Random:As the man sees Olivar's lightsaber he stops and starts backing up before starting to walk away

"That's it, I'm going to get the Purgs."

Hordo:As the man starts walking away, Hordo looks back to Olivar and says with a smirk

"Oh, you're done now. Once the Purgs get to you they'll make sure nothing is left of you, after they have their fun with you, that is."

However Olivar tunes Hordo out as he recalls that this is one of the planets run by a gang of cyborgs known as the Purg. They are considered one of the most dangerous gangs in the universe and are very deadly

Olivar:He looks around in the garage for tape

...and rope

Hordo:He doesn't see any rope however there is some tape in there

"What? Looking for a place to hide?"

Olivar:He looks to Hordo, and then to the tape. He then shrugs, grabbing the tape, and puts some over her mouth, and then puts the rest all around her lower half

Hordo:"Hey.. Hey what are you do-mmh hmhmhm hmmm mhmh!"

Olivar:He stands back, and proceeds to look around for a really big bag

Hordo:She starts kicking about and such as Olivar starts taping her but finds her to be little trouble besides an annoyance

There is a pretty big bag in a corner

Olivar:He grabs the bag and shoves her inside

Hordo:"HMMM!"

Olivar:"I'll let you in on something. My life's worth more than your bounty. So if you make one more god damn peep, I'll slice off all your limbs and leave you here for your husband to find."

With that, he picks up the back, and starts looking around for a vehicle with a trunk

Hordo:"MHMHM HH!"

Olivar:He turns his lightsaber on

Hordo:"HMMM HMM!"

Olivar:Charms! (14)

Hordo:Makes a Willpower Check! (67)

Olivar:He just sighs

Hordo:While there isn't any hover cars with trunks, he sees a man get out of a car, leaving it on with the keys still in it

"HMM!"

"MMMH!"

Olivar:He tosses her in the back, hard

Hordo:"HMMH!"

She obviously didn't like that

Olivar:He gets in the driver's seat, rolls up all the back windows, and takes off

He checks his rear view mirror periodically

Hordo:Seeing nothing behind him other than Hordo squirming around as she tries to get out of the bag, he is able to think he's in the clear for a moment however ahead of him is a giant cargo ship with the words "[Nan-Cilco-015]" panted on it. This also triggers a small memory of the Purgs and that being what they name their supply ships

Olivar:He takes a hard left, planning to go around

Hordo:"HM!"

Hordo calls out as she is suddenly thrown to the side of the car

Olivar:Lucks Out! (7)

Talz:As Olivar pulls to the side he winds up running into a group of people, most likely killing a lot of them but one makes not only for sure lives but finds himself landing on top of Hordo

"Oh... Hello!"

Olivar:"Hi."

He keeps going "As of this moment, you've been deputized."

Talz:"Oh oil, that's brilliant! I love depotization! Who's going to be doing it?"

"You?"

Olivar:"I just did. You are officially a Deputy of the East Corellian Trade Company. Welcome aboard."

"What you are sitting on back there is indeed a violent, homicidal maniac."

Talz:"Oh, why thank you sheriff, I'll be sure to do the best I can... What.. Exactly does being a deputy mean? Like what do we do?"

Olivar:"You help me out."

Talz:"Oh sparks! Should I kill it?"

Olivar:"Now, our current mission is to get said violent criminal off of this planet, so no. You shouldn't."

Hordo:Talz heavy ass seems to have knocked Hordo out when he landed on her

Olivar:"If you do so, I must immediately revoke your deputation."

Talz:"Oh.. Well that's not good, Loss. But it just so happens that I too was on my way off the planet."

"If you're looking for the transport ship, it's back that way. I was in line when all of a sudden I seen red and.. Well, here I am, ontop of a violent homicidal maniac."

Olivar:"No can do. That there was Purg transport ship. I have reason to believe that the Purgs are protecting this here violent individual."

Talz:"Oh I don't like the Purgs. They gave me life."

Olivar:"Excuse me?"

Talz:"Yes. They are not very good people."

Olivar:"Yes! We need to find another transport ship. Preferably one that will not question our cargo."

Talz:"I'm afraid I can not help with that one, Goss."

Olivar:He takes the next turn normally, and starts looking around for a shady looking transport ship, but not too shady

Talz:It's not long before he sees one at the very edge of the ship yard straight ahead.

Olivar:He starts speeding up, but not too fast, as he wants to avoid getting another deputy

Talz:He's doing just fine and before he knows it he arrives at the ship where he finds a blue alien sitting on a crate beside a camp in front of the ship

"Oh, this looks promising."

Olivar:He hops out, telling Talz to stay put and looks after the car. He proceeds to walk only a few feet in to be in front of the alien "When you leaving?"

Talz:It's not until this moment that Olivar sees that Talz is a really weird pink droid with oddly realistic human features, such as a mouth and eyes but as he walks away, Talz salutes

Unknown:The alien looks towards Olivar and raising a brow asks

"Depends on what you need and how much it's worth."

Olivar:"Got two people, one bag with questionable contents, and maybe this car here to New Covenant."

Unknown:"..."

The alien looks behind Olivar and as it does it holes begin to appear along it's face before it looks back to him

"Anything hot?"

Olivar:"The car. But, in all honesty, doesn't have to come."

Unknown:As it's cheeks start to move about with the movement in it's tongue and it's pours open widely again, seemingly to be a way it breaths, the aliens nods and asks

"How much?"

Olivar:"The car."

Unknown:"I can't get you to New Cov."

"I can take you somewhere else though."

"I'm kind of expected in New Cov."

"I don't like being expected."

Olivar:"Where are you willing to take me?"

Unknown:"Anywhere between here and Zotan."

"Space wise."

Olivar:"What about Kalarba?"

Unknown:"Can do friendo. However I have rules on my ship, if you think you can follow them then you have a ride."

Olivar:"What's the rules?"

Unknown:"Rule numero uno; no names. You do not know mine and I do not know yours, you will call me Blue and I'll call you by what you're wearing. We are not talking buddies, you will know nothing about me, that includes seeing anything outside of the areas that you will be staying."

Olivar:"Done deal."

Unknown:"Rule Dos... Don't be snout hooting. If you don't know what that is, it basically means don't be a dick."

Olivar:"Gotcha."

Unknown:"When I come up with rule three I'll let you know. Go ahead and get on board, the backs lowered, I'm sure your hover will fit."

"Or well, my hover."

Olivar:He nods, running back to the hover car "Alrighty, Deputy, this vehicle no longer belongs to us. It belongs to that fine gentleman who's giving us a ride." He begins to drive it up the back

Talz:"Oh goody!"

"Did we also give him our homicidal maniac?"

Olivar:"No, she stays with us. Also, do not go into the areas besides which we are designated, and do not try to engage in chit chat with him He has a strict no buddy buddy policy."

Talz:"Yes sir! Goss!"

Unknown:It's not long after they get the hover car in that Blue comes on board. As he sees Talz he stops and looks at it saying

"You are.. Weird."

Talz:As Blue's pours open and close Talz says

"Oh, my apologies for I did not create myself."

Unknown:Blue just nods before his cheeks start moving once more as his tongue starts rolling around in his mouth. He shows the two to the room they'll be staying which is no more than a over sized closet with a pillow on the floor and shows them the bathroom on the other side of the storage room

"I'll drop down some food at the end of every day until we get to Kalarbra. If you need anything else there is a button outside your room that phones to the cockpit."

With that, Blue leaves the two and the storage room they and the car were in

Talz:"I don't think I like him."

"He seems like a very weird creature with his skin opening and closing like that."

Olivar:"We don't have to, we just have to put up with him until we reach Kalarba."

He takes the bag out of the car and sets it down in the floor, unzipping it

Talz:"Is that were the violent homicide maniac is being taken, Goss?"

Olivar:"No, we got a long journey ahead of us, Deputy."

"That's just our first stop."

Hordo:As he unzips the bag he sees Hordo is still knocked out with a small puddle of blood coming from her head however she is still breathing

Olivar:"Oh crap...do you know anything about medicine?"

Talz:"Well if that's so then we should understand each others wiring. I am Talz Alzoc the third, I come from a.. I don't remember actually."

"Medicine?"

"No, I can't say I do."

"I wasn't meant for medicine. My job was to.. What was my job?"

"Oh right, I'm a deputy, uh.. Tell me what does a deputy do again?"

Olivar:"You just help out the Sheriff. You're a...jack of all trades." He looks to Hordo, going to the bathroom and grabbing a towel, wrapping it tightly around her wound "There...that should help with the bleeding."

Hordo:The bleeding already seemed to be pretty slow but this is sure to help

Talz:Talz leans against a wall and says

"Well today has been an adventure. I'm going to shut down."

Olivar:"Alrighty, goodnight."

Talz:With that Talz shuts his eyes and heads off to sleep against the wall

Olivar:He puts Hordo in the closet, putting a pillow and blanket over her before locking the door. He then goes and lays down on the bed, sleeping with one eye open

He puts her in the bathroom*

EPISODE 5: SHERIFF OLIVAR END

EPISODE 6

Unknown:It had been days since Duga last seen any form of civilization, as he has been floating on a piece of his ship's debris after crashing on the all water planet of Drexel. The last thing he heard before crashing was a person on the planet who was portraying herself as a sith was reeking havoc in one of the major ship cities on the planet.

Duga:He sits on the debris, meditating and feeling for something in the surroundings

Perceives! (80)

Unknown:Makes a Thievery Check! (63)

Mere moments after the camera focuses on Duga, the water around his debris raft has a ripple as a splash happens behind him

Duga:"Hm?" He looks behinds him

Unknown:As Duga turns he sees a long green tail like object in the water slither down below the surface, no longer visible

Duga:He stands, looking around the water for other signs of life

Unknown:With the sun starting to set and dusk quickly gripping the liquid covered planet, Duga can only see a couple of feet below the surface, however he can see in the darkness of the abyss a dim yellow glow, however it is impossible to tell how far down it is, and it doesn't appear to be moving

Duga:He stares at it a while, thinking on his options

Unknown:The glow slowly fades after a few minutes as the waves shake Duga's raft to and fro with little hope of getting off it. His stomach growls as thoughts of food start to appear in his mind. Once again, from behind another splash appears in the water before a thump is heard from underneath

Duga:He waves his hands, trying to keep balance

Unknown:A loud hiss strikes Duga however it's origins is unknown as the raft is hit once again

Attacks! (62)

Duga:Makes a Dexterity Check! (43)

Unable to keep his balance from the last hit, he is flung into the water

Unknown:As Duga falls into the water he gets a glimpse as to what has been hitting the raft and finds it to be two large aquatic creatures, swimming a couple of feet below as one is making it's way back down into the darkness

Duga:He takes a breath before starting to swim underwater and check out the remaining creature

Duga Uses Force Speed!

Unknown:The second creature is a large fish, about twice the size of him as it just kinda sits in place, not moving. It's top fin red with veins and it's tail a dark blue color with two smaller fins just before the tip

Duga:He decides to make for his debris instead of taking his chances with the giant fish

Unknown:*As Duga turns around and starts making it back towards his raft, another smaller creature swims up from behind and passes between his head and shoulder to fast for him to get a good view of it.

Duga:He is not happy with being underwater, and makes for the debris with due haste

Unknown:It doesn't take long as Duga gets back on his raft, as he does he finds that night is quickly approaching and soon enough, he is unable to see much of anything however sounds of splashing fill the night every few hours or so with creatures swimming past him. Only a few times did he feel anything touch the raft but with it already being days since he's eaten' or gotten any sleep, he finds himself nodding just before the splashes wake him back up

Duga:"Damnation!" he slams his fist on the debris

Unknown:As he slams his fist into the debris, a loud growl comes from the water

Duga:He stands, looking around "Growl as you wish! I fear no scaled beast!"

Unknown:Suddenly as Duga finishes his statement, in the dead of darkness something big happens as the raft is suddenly jolted and water begins raining down onto Duga accompanied by sounds of something slamming into the water

Duga:He stumbles back, trying to keep his balance before looking toward the source of the sounds

Unknown:With night fallen and no lights in sight, all Duga can see is darkness however a snarl appears from the direction the noise came from

Duga:He raises his saber, ready to turn it on, but feeling that it may not be the best option to draw attention to himself

He tries to feel what it is in front of him with the force

Unknown:A quick gust of wind appears with a vile smell of decay

Duga:Uses the Force! (155)

Unknown:Makes a Thievery Check! (87)

With the force, Duga is able to understand that the wind wasn't from a natural source as a creature thrice the size of his ship was sitting in front of him, staring at the floating debris with it's long body slithering through the water, following him, only it's head emerged

Duga:He prepares to face it and turns on his saber

Unknown:As Duga turns the lightsaber on and sees the black creature's head is the size of his cockpit and it's eyes have a greyish silver tint to them. The creature is only ten feet away from his raft as it's scales are quickly standing up

Duga:He's on the balls of his feet, ready to jump if it strikes "RAAAAAGH!"

Unknown:Suddenly, all at once the creature's scales shoot back down as another gust of wind pushes Duga back as he's hit with the fowl smell of death once again

Duga:His nose twitches as he stares at the creatures

Unknown:With a growl that vibrates through his raft into his bones, Duga watches as the creature slowly submerges and disappears into the water

Duga:He heaves a sighs of relief once it is gone, turning off his lightsaber

Unknown:The rest of the night passes with little more happening and the next morning as the sun begins to rise, Duga sees a school of hand sized fish swimming along his debris

Duga:He leans over the edge of the raft

Duga Uses Force Speed!

Duga:He reaches for a fish

Unknown:With a the force, Duga is able to catch one of the fish with no problem

Duga:He tears the scales off and eats the flesh, pushed by a hunger he had not felt before

Unknown:The fish isn't the best he's had but after days without food, he finds it to be edible, and with the day, mostly being a repeat of the previous days, it isn't long before Duga finds the night approaching again

Duga:He wearily watches the sunset, a peace in him that only can be found the delirium that he faces now

Unknown:Just before the sun hits the horizon, Duga's peace is interrupted as water suddenly shoots out at high velocity from the raft, creating a hole

Duga:He scrambles back, looking at the hole in confusion

Unknown:As he goes to look at the hole, another is created behind him, causing the raft to begin to sink

Duga:He dives off the raft

Unknown:As Duga dives into the water he finds a little green humanoid creature swimming around much faster than he could with a large pole object, similar to a spear

Duga:"What in the?"

Unknown:Perceives! (105)

Duga:Makes a Thievery Check! (70)

Unknown:It notices Duga just after he sees it swimming around, upon seeing Duga in the water, it begins to swim towards him at a higher speed than most humanoid beings underwater

Duga:"Can you speak basic?"

Unknown:It doesn't stop swimming with Duga only having more more chance to do something before it gets to him

Duga:He grinds his teeth, beginning toward it

Duga Uses Force Speed!

Unknown:Duga and the creature meet half way with the creature jabbing it's staff at him

Attacks! (118)

Duga:Defends! (60)

Unknown:Does (15) Damage!

Duga:He winces as some of the water around him begins to turn red before he reaches to grab the little humanoid

Makes a Dexterity Check! (155)

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (151)

Not expecting to be grabbed, the creature looks at Duga with a confused expression

Duga:He then starts trying to choke it

Makes a Strength Check! (33)

Unknown:Toughs it Out! (107)

As Duga tries to choke it, the creature spins the spear around before trying to kick him in the face

Attacks! (35)

Duga:Defends! (116)

He instead kicks off from the creature, making back for the sinking raft

Makes a Dexterity Check! (102)

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (137)

Duga:Lucks Out! (44)

Unknown:The creature quickly catches up and goes to stab Duga

Attacks! (37)

Duga:Defends! (113)

He rolls and dodges out of the way, continuing his way for the safety of the raft

Makes a Dexterity Check! (146)

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (132)

The creature swims past Duga a couple of times before going to stab him again however before it can, Duga makes it onto the raft

Duga:He climbs on and looks to see if he can spot the thing in the water

Unknown:All he sees is ripples in the water from where it's little green fin pokes out ever now and then but it's going too fast for him to get a good eye on before it goes back under water. With night quickly approaching, it's getting harder and harder to see as well

Duga:He groan, holding his side before he straightens up. Then, he stretches out his hand and attempts to bring the raft up with the help of the force so he at least has a little more time

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (161)

Unknown:Duga manages to bring it up a little bit as the creature suddenly flies out of the water at a high speed, trying to stab him as it passes by

Attacks! (57)

Duga:Defends! (85)

He dodges out of the way and tries to grab it mid-air with the force

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (118)

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (167)

The little green creature hits the water with Duga unable to stop it with the force. All that is seen of the creature once again is the occasional ripple

Duga:"Damn you!"

He turns on his lightsaber, preparing for the thing the next time it comes

Unknown:As the saber turns on, the creature comes back, flying out of the water, jabbing towards Duga

Attacks! (111)

Duga:Attacks! (59)

Unknown:Not fast enough, Duga gets cut by the creature's spear before it dives back underwater

Does (16) Damage!

Duga:Toughs it Out! (53)

Unknown:*With a big gash appearing along Duga's shoulder and blood flying into the water, he feels as though he is about to pass out from a mixture of blood loss and dehydration, but still manages to stay on his feet, fighting for his life from this alien creature who, after a few seconds jumps on the raft with it's staff in hand facing the other way, looking at Duga from it's dark black squinting eyes.

other way = opposite way of Duga, towards the water from the side it came from

Duga:He holds out a hand, attempting to lift the creature with the force

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (160)

Unknown:The creature begins to float in the air, unable to comprehend what is currently happening to it as it looks around in full confusion

Duga:He then strikes with his lightsaber as it floats helplessly

Attacks! (71)

Unknown:The creature holds it's spear in front of it but the saber just cuts through it

Duga:Does (50) Damage!

Unknown:The creature opens it's mouth as the saber glides through it as it is cut in half. It starts squirming around before being dropped int he water, both it and it's staff falling in two separate pieces as it's top half lands on the raft, it's arms flailing, as it quickly goes into shock before night falls almost completely with Duga's lightsaber being the only source of light now

Duga:He's left panting, bleeding, and groaning. He uses the bits of alien to cover the holes in the raft to try and buy as much time as he can

Unknown:With blood constantly draining from his wounds, Duga feels as if he is fading in and out, it's not long before he feels the raft get hit by something else

Duga:He looks over, eyes blurring with tiredness and pain

Unknown:Duga sees nothing but teeth climb over him as darkness entraps him before the sounds of water pouring finds him

EPISODE SIX: DREXEL END

PAGE 07

B8-G6:Walking up to Vek, Bait explains that the navigational system seems to be off and he has no clue where they are

"I am sorry, master Vek."

Vek:"...Ah."

"Of course."

Qotaro:"Batcha!"

B8-G6:"Do you want me to land us on the nearest planet so master Qotaro can try and fix it?"

Qotaro:"Yes, yes." He said, nodding

B8-G6:With a quick bow, Bait goes back to piloting the Ural to land on the nearest planet

Ural:Vek and Qotaro are unable to see much as the landing pad is on an extension of one of the towers, above the clouds.

B8-G6:"We have arrived sir on the unknown planet, sir."

Vek:He looks to Qotaro "....Well, uh..try to fix it."

Qotaro:"Gah..."

He walks up, as he rubs his head, and looks at it

Ural:Qotaro finds that the system's por shorted out, a part that can probably be found on the planet being sold at a speeder salesmen or a cheaper less reliable unit can be found at a junker salesmen.

Qotaro:"Aaah, gah!" He said, smacking his wrench against the ship, before went back up to the ship, pointing down, as he said, "Batcha! Ship, no baga!"

Vek:"....Alright...well, guess we gotta...do that."

"Lead the way. Bait, don't let any undesirables in."

"That's everyone but us, by the way."

"Don't want you getting confused."

B8-G6:"Yes, sir."

Qotaro:"Batcha!" He said, as he grabbed his stuff, ready to head out

Stormtrooper:As the door opens, Vek and Qotaro find a stormtrooper standing in front of their ship, waiting for them

Vek:"......Hello."

Qotaro:"Gah!" He said, shaking his head, dropping a few things from his coat, "Aaaahhh, batcha!"

Stormtrooper:"Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience but this is some mandatory thing that Sargent Nik is putting into place now, so if you would mind stopping for a moment to answer a few questions, you can be on your way."

Vek:"Sure thing."

Qotaro:"Gabba."

Stormtrooper:"Alright, number one; State your captain and ship names."

Vek:"...Vek and Ural."

Stormtrooper:"Alright, number two; what is your business on Orvax?"

Vek:"We need to get some parts to repair our ship."

Stormtrooper:"Oki-doke. And number three, how many do you have?"

Vek:"How..many..?"

Stormtrooper:"Yea, that's all it says.. I think he's asking slaves?.. Ye-.. No, wait.. No, yea. Slaves, how many slaves do you have?"

Vek:"...Zero."

Stormtrooper:"Huh.. That's not an answer on here.. I'll just put down unknown."

"Alright, my name is Durk, I'll be your go to trooper for your stay. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you."

"Oh, and you can only leave your ship here for five days."

Vek:"O..okay."

Stormtrooper:"Alrighty, so you're looking for parts for the ship, what type of part?"

Vek:He points to Q

Durk:Durk looks to Qotaro and back to Vek

"I.. I don't understand.. Do you want me to shoot it?"

Vek:"No, he's my engineer."

Qotaro:"Gaah, batcha!" He said, waving his wrench around

Durk:"Wait, really? I thought it was your pet?"

Qotaro:"GAH!"

Vek:"No, he's my brother."

Durk:".."

Durt just looks at him

Qotaro:He nods and gives a thumbs up, "Yes."

Durk:"Man.. I guess I've been on this planet too long, things are getting weird out the-"

Durk stops and grabs his rifle when Qotaro says something in basic

"What the fuck!?"

"It can talk?"

"What is it?"

Qotaro:"Uuuh, gatcha!"

Durk:"No, gatch you."

Vek:"Look, he's just different."

Qotaro:He nods, "Jawa! Gatcha!"

Durk:".. Is it contagious?"

Vek:"No."

Durk:".. I don't trust it, keep it away from me."

Qotaro:"... Gabba..."

Vek:"Well, he's the only one who knows what parts we need."

Durk:Durk holsters his rifle on his back and says

"It can tag along, but you're responsible for it."

"Now, what part did you say you need?"

Vek:"...."

"We can find it ourselves, really."

Durk:"Sorry but I have to join you, it's illegal to roam the planet alone without citizenship."

Qotaro:"Aahhh, gatcha! Noba!" He said, as he threw his arms around angrily

Durk:After looking at him for a moment, emotion unknown, he begins laughing before saying

"Aw, you're kind of cute, actually."

Qotaro:"No cute, gabba! GAAHH!"

Durk:He can't help but giggle at it's anger

Vek:"I don't think you should laugh at him.."

Qotaro:"Gaaahhh!" He said, as he lifted his wrench up, considering it, but decided not to

Durk:"Why not?"

Vek:"You'll hurt his feelings."

Qotaro:"... No batcha!"

Durk:"Ahh, I'm not too worried about it."

He turns around and starts walking, saying

"C'mon, I'll show you two to the sales strip."

Vek:"Alright.." He looks to Q after Durk goes ahead a bit "Just try to play nice, alright? We just need to get the part and get out*

Qotaro:"Aahh, gah..." He shook his head, and groaned, "No batcha..." But, he nodded after a moment, and decided to go along with it

Durk:As Durk leads Vek and Qotaro into the tower, they find the inside to be similar to a small town with holes in the floor here and there, however they have fences, through the holes, the two find that they're rather high up with each floor looking like parts of a town, full of humans and stormtroopers as Durk explains

"We apart of the Elero group arrived here on this planet some time ago, long before I was born and from my understanding kind of just took it over, but it helped out the people who already lived here. Apparently they were a bunch of racists who enslaved any race besides humans that landed on the planet, it got a pretty good reputation around the galaxy for being like a slave haven.. Not for the slaves, I mean, but for the-.. I'm sure you get what I'm saying."

"But yea, most of the people you'll see here are human, but there is the rare alien that proved itself, like one of the largest slavers this side of the gordlo. He's a toydarian who owns one of the best fighters around."

Vek:"....Hmm..."

Durk:After a good few minutes and an elevator ride or two, Durk stops and says

"Here we are! Floor thirty eight!.

"This is where off worlders come to buy things."

Qotaro:"Ooh, gabba!"

Durk:There are several stales and store fronts open with people selling several types of items from goggles to clothes to colorful rocks, there doesn't seem to be a limit as to what is being sold here, but the theme amongst all of the venders is they don't seem to be too clean, everything seems dirty and almost all of the clothes have tears or stains in them

"But anyways, as I was saying, We've pretty much placed most of the world's population within three areas, each area having it's own tower."

"This is tower, or area H."

Durk continues to lead them to one of the speeder salers

Tender:"Oh, hey Durk!"

Durk:"Hey Tender, how are you today?"

Qotaro:"Gaaah, gabba! Ga da!" He said, pointing at the Tender

Vek:"Your....name is Tender?"

Tender:"I'm doing good."

The green twi'lik says from the other side of a stand with a color on her neck that's attached to a chain hanging on the ceiling.

Qotaro:"Ggaahh.." He said, not pleased

Vek:"Oh."

Tender:"Oh, no, they just call me that because I was originally a bartender."

Vek:"..What are you now?"

Tender:collar*

Qotaro:"Gatcha! No gabba!"

Tender:"Now I'm Uji's slave."

Qotaro:He points at Tender, then to her collar, then he makes a hanging motion with his hand

Tender:"He's a nice guy.. At least compared to others."

Vek:"...Yea, sure."

Qotaro:"Gaaahhh!"

"Waaaaaaaahhh!"

Durk:Durk tries to hold his laughter but can't with a couple of slips as he watches the jawa

Qotaro:He spreads his legs, as he looks up at the air, holding his wrench up high, as he starts screaming

Vek:"So, how did...that happen?"

Tender:"My father sold me."

"Paying off debts or something like that."

"I don't know, I stopped paying attention awhile back."

Qotaro:"Togo togu!"

Tender:"Before he sold me I mean."

Vek:He looks at Qotaro a bit "Alright, well, we'- Okay, that one was uncalled for."

Durk:"What'd it say?"

Tender:She doesn't seem to have any reaction to the little jawa

Vek:He shrugs

Durk:"Hey, Tender, ever seen anything like this?"

Tender:"Like it, yes, it, no."

Qotaro:He then pointed at Tender, and said, "Dooka!"

Vek:"Q-"

Durk:"Huh."

Vek:he shakes his head

Tender:She has no clue

Vek:"We're just looking for ship parts, do you do that or no?"

Tender:"What kind of ship?"

Vek:He describes the Ural to the best of his ability

Qotaro:"Gaaahh..." He then narrowed his eyes at Tender, and said, out loud, "Nekkel, juuvar obwegadada!"

Vek:"Calm down!"

"We're trying to do business, here."

Qotaro:"NO!"

Tender:"Yea, I sell parts to those."

"What are you looking for?"

Vek:He gets on one knee, and puts his hand on Qotaro's shoulder "Look, please, I don't know what the hell we're looking for, just do business here."

Qotaro:He sighs, and waits a second, before nodding, as he says, "Aaah, gabba."

Vek:"Thank you."

Tender:"So whatcha needin' little buddy?"

Qotaro:"..." His eye twitches under his mask, as he had to hold his tongue

Durk:Not far from where they are, a crowd starts to form

"Huh, wonder what's going on over there."

Qotaro:"Watcha?" He said, looking over

Durk:"I don't know, wrap up whatever you're doing here real quick and we can find out."

Tender:Tender looks across the way to see the crowd gathering but pays no mind too it, just going back to looking at Qotaro

Qotaro:He looked back over, as he said, "Gaahh... watcha ba..." As he went to get the part and buy it

Tender:"Wha- hey, you can't do that."

Qotaro:"Gah?"

Vek:"Hey, look, he's a trustworthy guy."

Qotaro:He nods

Vek:"This is just how he operates."

Tender:"Yea, but Uji's not. If he finds out I just let some random thing walk around his store he's going to be so angry."

Qotaro:"..." He considers smacking her upside the head with a wrench

Vek:"Where is this 'Uji' ?"

Tender:"No, seriously, he can- AHGA!"

As Tender starts to talk she is suddenly electrocuted and falls to the ground uncontentious

Durk:"Uh oh."

"I hope she'll be okay."

Vek:"The hell was that?"

Durk:"You see that chain around her neck?"

"It goes into the ceiling right? Well I don't really know how exactly it works but it can carry a current through and shocked her if she disobies."

"The shocker is some droid that works for Uji."

Vek:"...Q, you got the part?"

"Wait."

"A droid?"

"Where?"

(To Qotaro): He still hasn't found the part

Durk:"I really liked her too, she was nice.. And she knew me, like she could identify me from the other troopers around here."

Vek:"..So, is the chain the only thing keeping her there?"

(To Qotaro): As he's looking for the part, he runs into a man who tries to yells before trying to grab him "Come here you little cloaked monster!"

Durk:"Uh.. I think so?"

"I don't know, probably."

"Once slaves get here they usually don't leave, so I don't think the owners have any reason to put any more things on them."

Unknown:Attacks! (9)

(From Qotaro): "GAH!" He goes to kick back

Qotaro:Defends! (99)

(To Qotaro): The raggedy old man is kicked away as he stands there, towering over Qotaro with a dark look on his face

(To Qotaro): "The master wants you, monster! Now come here!"

(From Qotaro): "WAAAHH!" He pulls out the blaster, going to shoot up at him

Qotaro:Shoots! (32)

Unknown:Defends! (97)

The man drops to his ass as the laser start bounces a few times off the walls, making enough noise that even the crowd of people stopped for a moment to look over

Durk:"What was that?"

Vek:He runs in

Durk:"He- Hey!"

Durk runs in after him

Qotaro:"Gatcha! Gah!" He said, jumping back

Durk:"Listen, that little thing can come here because no one is going to notice him, but we'll be spotted for sure."

Vek:He's really not listening to what Durk is saying

Qotaro:"Gatcha ga!" He said, still pointing the blaster at the man who tried to grab him

Unknown:As the two run in they find an old man wearing torn clothes with a beard grown down to his stomach, the old man also having a collar on

"No! Please! That's not the rules!"

Vek:*....What?"

Qotaro:"Aaah, no gabba!"

Durk:"Oh, hey, I know him."

Qotaro:He pointed at the man, as he then made a grabbing motion, then pointing at himself, and said, "No good!"

Durk:"He's Bal, he used to be a famous fist fighter in the slave pits, real monster when it comes to the hand on hand."

Vek:"You sure know a lot."

Durk:"Well"

He stops for a moment as he looks back to the old man who seems to have no muscle and has lost an eye

"Used to be. And of course, Nik makes sure all of the troopers stationed here knows as much as we can."

"Well, knows as much as we can about this place."

"Plus it's my home, why wouldn't I know much?"

"I guess compared to some off worlders like you it's a lot, but really it's not much."

Vek:"I wasn't questioning you, man, calm down."

"Q, just find the part."

Unknown:Suddenly the old man screams in pain as he too falls to the ground unconscious as a voice comes over an intercom

"That's two slaves you made me kill."

Vek:"Hey, fuck you!"

Durk:Durk looks around before saying

"What?"

Unknown:"Who are your friends, Durk?"

Vek:"You leave him out of this!"

Durk:"Wait.. I know that voice."

Qotaro:"Gah..." He said, shaking his head, as he went searching for the part

Lucks Out! (24)

Unknown:"Why should I? He's the one who put you into this mess."

Durk:Durk seems to be in thought

Vek:He looks to Durk "Please, tell us what's going on here."

"I'm not doing this shit."

Durk:"Well, I wish I could but.. I'm at a loss, the person that sounds like has nothing to do with the person that owns this place."

Vek:"I'll be honest, I don't really give a shit either way, I just want to know."

Unknown:"Tell me your name, off worlder and I shall tell you mine."

Vek:"Waap'n."

Unknown:"Waap'n? That's an odd name.. Well Waap'n."

Qotaro:"Aaah, gabba!" He said, smashing his wrench on a shelf

Unknown:"My name is."

The intercom stops suddenly as Qotaro finds the part

Qotaro:"HAHA!" He said, grabbing

Lurk:"My name is Lurk, and you are under arrest for breaking into a store and killing two slaves."

Lurk says as a door opens in front of them as the room is suddenly filled with stormtroopers

Durk:"Lurk?"

"What the hell are you doing!?"

"These off worlders didn't do anything."

Vek:"Exactly!"

Lurk:"But you did."

Vek:"No!"

"You did!"

Durk:"No, I didn't."

Lurk:"You slept with my mother, Durk!"

Lurk says as he raises his pistol at them from a few feet away

Durk:"Wait, Bidia was your mother?"

Lurk:"..."

"Who?'

Vek:"...."

Durk:"Oh, no, that's Gurk's si- Nevermind! Lurk, that doesn't change this situation, Lurk, let them go, I'm the one you want."

Lurk:"It's too late."

Vek:"It's not, though."

Lurk:"Durk, you and your friends are going to jail now."

Vek:"No, we're not."

Stormtrooper:One of the stormtroopers start walking about with cuffs held out as Lurk says

Lurk:"Put them on and we won't have any troubles."

Qotaro:He opens fire

Shoots! (53)

Lurk:Defends! (87)

Qotaro:"WAAAAAHHH!"

"Gah!"

Stormtrooper:The Stormtrooper ducks under the blast as several of them open fire

Attacks! (61)

Durk:Defends! (21)

Defends! (89)

"WAAAH!" He says, getting hit

Durk:Suddenly the room is lit up with lasers as Durk is torn to shreds, as Vek is hit by one of the shots and all of them seem to just go over Qotaro

Stormtrooper:Does (38) Damage!

Does (36) Damage!

Lurk:With the blasts stopping, Lurk stands there looking at the group before saying

"Huh."

Vek:"...You happy now?"

Qotaro:"GAH!"

Vek:"He's dead."

Lurk:The group finds that all of the storm troopers are dead as well as they fired in each other's direction, Lurk being the only one left

"We should have thought about that a little bit more."

Vek:He runs up to Lurk, pulling out his lightsaber, as he swings for his head

Vek Uses Acrobatics!

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek Uses Alter Damage!

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (215)

Makes a Dexterity Check! (135)

Lurk:"Hey, hold o-"

Defends! (94)

Vek:Does (62) Damage!

Lurk:Lurk is cut in half before he could try and make peace

Vek:He takes a few deep breaths as he goes to cut the chains attached to the slaves, just in case "Alright, we gotta get the fuck right out of here."

Qotaro:"Yes. Wabba!"

Unknown:As Vek and the others begin to leave, someone opens a door in the room

Uji:"What the FAAAACK?!"

Vek:He swungs at Uji

Uji:"Wha-?!"

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (102)

Uji:Defends! (98)

Vek:Does (74) Damage!

Uji:He's sliced in half, his upper half continuing to fly for a few flaps "JIMMI JIMMI WANGA!"

Qotaro:He shoots him as he says that

Vek:"...That was a close one."

"We gotta get out of here."

Qotaro:He nods, "Go, go, go!" He ran back for the ship

Vek:He follows back with Qotaro, putting the saber up

Unknown:Vek and Qotaro make it back to their ship and find a field holding it on the ground

Qotaro:"... GAAHHHH!!!"

Vek:He stabs his Ryyk Blade at the projector

Unknown:*The field blinks a few times before going away

Qotaro:He goes to put in the replacement part for the ship

B8-G6:The part isn't too hard to install and before they know it, Bait was able to get the ship off the planet

Vek:He drops onto a seat, holding his shoulder "God..I can't keep almost getting killed every pit stop.."

Qotaro:He nodded, "Gabba."

He looks back out towards the station

B8-G6:"Don't worry sir, once we're a good bit away, I'll fix you right up."

PAGE 07: ORVAX END

PAGE 08: Kalarba START

Unknown:A good bit of time has passed as Olivar finds the door to the room he was in opening with Blue standing outside of it

"Alright, rides over."

Olivar:"Well, let me get my things." He heads back to his cabin and wakes the robot "We're leaving."

Talz:"Yes sir! Goss!"

Talz says almost immediately powering on as a quick hiss comes out.

Olivar:He blinks "...alright." He knocks on the door to the bathroom, and opens it up

Hordo:As he opens it he finds Hordo still tied up in in the corner he threw her in

Passed out

Olivar:He walks over and checks her pulse

He stretches, looking to Talz "Back in the bag?"

Talz:Leaving the room he had been in for an unknown amount of time, Talz looks to the opened door to find they've already landed and Blue is unpacking some things, setting up a little sale area

Olivar:"....alright." He picks her up and puts her back in the duffel bag

Hordo:As she starts to wake up she begins to squirm and yell but stops after just a few wiggles, finally accepting that she isn't going anywhere

Talz:"Where to now, Goss?"

Olivar:"Well, Deputy, our end goal is a planet known as Atzerri. I suppose where we go now is determined by that end goal."

"I think finding another ride that is as accepting as our last pilot by the end of the day is our top priority."

Talz:"Yes sir!"

It takes the two no time for them to leave the ship and find their new stop to be a mostly misty ocean covered planet with their port called

with their port being on a large island*

Olivar:"....hm."

"Be careful, Dep, I smell trouble afoot."

He looks around for some sort of bar

Talz:"Yes sir! Goss!"

Unknown:It takes little time for the two to find a cantina filled with the type of people that Olivar has come to know all to well

Talz:As they walk in and scope out the scene, they find people of all types, but all with similar enough stories. A couple of large white furry fly looking things at a table to their right, a rodian getting a lap dance by a twi'lik to their right, a pair of humans playing a card game with several characters from different races betting on them. At the bar they find a couple of sentients drinking, some talking, a few laughing and one crying as the bartender poured a drink for a alien with a spider like face who stared blankly ahead of itself, seemingly in deep thought

Olivar:He takes a table, setting down the duffel bag "Alright, Talz, I want you to sit here and keep your gun on the draw. And make sure the bag stays put. Got it?"

Talz:"Yes, sir! Goss!"

Olivar:He gives Talz a small salute "I'm going to try and get us a ride out of here."

Talz:Talz whips his gun out and points it at the bag

Olivar:"No, no, no!"

Talz:Talz nods

Olivar:"Keep it on the draw."

"Not draw it."

Talz:Talz lowers the gun to where it's not on her but still out

Olivar:"Be ready for it to hit the fan, is what I'm saying. Don't draw too much attention."

"Don't be a threat. Be...inconspicuous. Now. Just be ready to back me up while I go and try and get a ride."

Talz:"Yes, sir!"

Olivar:He looks to the people, and decides to sit by the spider man first "...penny for your thoughts?"

Unknown:The creature speaks in an alien language, unknown to Olivar in an abrupt manor

Olivar:"...do you...speak common?"

Unknown:"Yes."

Olivar:"Can you repeat what you just said then, sir, I apologize but I am...monolingual."

Unknown:"I said you don't want to know my thoughts, now get out of here before I put a hole in you the size of my eye."

Olivar:"What's with the hostility?"

Unknown:"I got a bent tusk, now get away from me."

Bartender:The bartender bends in towards Olivar saying

"Hey new guy, you might want to leave Shiel here alone, he's one of those Aqualishs."

"Known to have a bad temper they are, and I've seen Shiel on a bad day, it's not a pretty site."

Olivar:He scoffs, moving to a different seat, and decides to order a cheap drink

• omit

"Bad temper? I wouldn't have guessed it." He moves seats and then looks to the bartender "...say, do you know where a friend and I can get a ride?"

Bartender:"Depends on where you're going, and how much you can spare."

Olivar:"I would like to make it to Milagro, Bacrana at the least."

Bartender:The bartender nods to a large figure in the corner of the cantina with a girl in his lap and two men on either side of him as the four seem to be in a conversation

"He can take you as far Gamor, but you have to give him a reason, and a good one."

Olivar:"I got a damn good one. Thanks." He leaves a tip of ten creds on the table

• bar

Bartender:The bartender swipes them, nodding as he goes back to doing to doing tedious things

Olivar:He approaches Gamor "Sorry to interrupt."

Rai:The body builder and his three friends stop mid conversation and look up to Olivar who is now in front of their table.

"Do you need something?"

The presumed leader asks

Olivar:"I need a ride. Urgently. And I was told your were that, with a damn good reason, I could get one from you guys."

Rai:"Depends on where you want to go, how fast you want to get there, why, how much you're bringing, ect."

"But short answer is yes."

"We can get you to most places."

Olivar:"What about Gamor?"

Rai:"Can do."

Olivar:"Alright."

"I have two other people...one takes up, very, very little room, the other...in the same boat, actually."

"Besides that, just to clothes on my back."

Rai:"Very little room as in a child?"

Olivar:"...adults that won't move much."

Rai:"Ah, and this little venture to Gamor of yours, is it illegal or are you being hunted by anyone?"

Olivar:"Suspected that I'm being hunted, but nothing concrete."

"One of the other people is technically a prisoner, so completely legal in that regard."

Rai:"You're a cop?"

Olivar:"No."

Rai:"Bounty hunter?"

Olivar:"Kind of. Work on more of a contract basis, less of just taking more publicly available hits."

Rai:"Alright, and this business you have on Gamor, will it trace back and give me or mine any trouble?"

Olivar:"Nope."

Rai:"Ten thousand credits."

Olivar:He claps his hands

"Sorry to waste your time."

He begins to walk back to the table with Talz

Rai:"Whoa whoa whao."

The man says as Olivar begins to stand back up

"I don't know if you know how it works out here in the mid and outer rims but we aren't no taxi service, we can lower the price, that was just the opening bid."

Olivar:"The difference between your initial bid and the amount I actually have is so immense it's...absurd."

Rai:"Is that so? Well tell us, how much do you have?"

Olivar:"I can spend 400 creds."

Rai:The four begin to laugh pretty heartily before Rai says with a grin

"Well, I hate to tell you but that won't even get you a ride to New Cov."

"From anyone around here."

Olivar:"Well, I have a whole planet to search then.

"

Rai:"What, no negotiating?"

Olivar:"What I'm willing to pay is what I'm willing to pay. If you don't want it, fine."

Rai:"How much is your job paying?

Olivar:"What're you suggesting?"

Rai:"Well, maybe you give us what you have now, and pay us the rest when we finish the job."

Olivar:He laughs "As I said, sorry for wasting your time."

Rai:Rai nods before taking a sip from his cup as his friends continue to stare at Olivar

Olivar:He goes and takes a seat at the table again "Well, Talz, I think I done fucked up."

Talz:"What do you mean, Goss?"

Olivar:"Do not look at them, but you remember that guy who was getting a lap dance and his thugs surrounding him? I think I may have made myself a target."

Talz:"Oh oil spills."

Olivar:"I think they may be under the impression I'm willing to subject myself to less than...attractive forms of payment and/or servitude. Which I'm not. So, we need to think of something fast. Just in case."

Talz:"Maybe we can just steal a ship, Goss?"

Olivar:"Maybe, maybe..."

"I'm going to order a drink,"

He stands, going to the bar, ordering a cheap drink

Talz:"Yes sir."

Bartender:Upon getting to the bar, Olivar finds the bartender talking to a shorter than average hooded figure with a feminine voice. However by the time he got to the bar their conversation was ending with the girl thanking him and the bartender nodding before going back just standing there

Olivar:After ordering the cheap drink he leans on the bar a moment "...got any...cheaper alternatives?"

Bartender:The bartender looks at him for a moment before asking

"Depends on how cheaper and how safe you want to be."

"Rai up there is the safest you could be with anyone, word is he's brothers with a forceful that's making a big name for himself up in the north part of the galaxy, or at least that's what people say he says."

"But seeing as you're back asking for another option, I'm guessing that means he was a bit too much for you."

Olivar:He nods, sipping on his drink

Bartender:"How high can you go?"

Olivar:"....400."

Bartender:The bartender almost immediately begins to smirk which quickly turns into a full grin as he laughs pretty loud, having a similar reaction to Rai and his boys

Olivar:"...

• "

Bartender:"Four hundred creds won't even get you to New Cov. I'm sorry but eight hundred is the least anyone is willing to take around here."

Olivar:"Thanks anyways." He puts his payment for the drink down on the bar and begins to walk back to the table, a little bit stressed

Bartender:As he walks away he can hear the bartender whisper a few things to himself and snicker

Talz:As Olivar gets back to the table, he finds Talz scanning the area

Olivar:"I think we're done here. Best to move on and find somewhere...cheaper."

Talz:"Yes sir!"

As Talz begins to get up, an arm wraps around Olivar's shoulder from behind

Olivar:He turns his head

Doral:When turning to see who this blue arm belongs to, Olivar finds a blue twi'lek walking around him, saying

"Oh, c'mon now, we aren't that expensive, are we?"

Olivar:"Maybe. It's more like I'm too god damn poor."

Doral:"Oh yea? Tell me about it."

Doral takes a seat next to Hordo's bag and says looking up to Olivar with eyes of sadness

"Please, sit with me."

"It'll only take a moment."

Olivar:He takes her hand, and while trying to make it look as normal as possible, climbs over Doral to make it in between her in the bag "...Continue."

Charms! (80)

Doral:Charms! (124)

Makes a Willpower Check! (33)

Sort of a dance begins as Olivar goes to crawl over her, she start to crawl over him, but stops on his lap and starts to move in erotic ways as she says

"I'm sure you can find away to afford me, can't you, honey."

Olivar:"....hahaaaaa no."

"Despite how much I'd just love your company, I'm what they call...tight on cash."

Talz:Talz looks away and says

"Oh.. If only oil wasn't my name."

Doral:After Olivar says this, Doral leans in closer and whispers into the side of his helmet

"My employer wishes to speak with you, when I leave, go to the right of the bar and follow the stairs up. He's waiting."

Olivar:He blinks, but then realizes that means nothing because he's in a helmet, and just nods

Doral:After saying this, Doral suddenly jolts back and gasps before slapping him, getting up and walking away in a rushing manor

Olivar:He looks offended, not sure if he should be acting or not

Talz:As his helmet is slapped, Talz and the rest of the cantina stops and looks at Olivar for a moment before going back to what they were doing

"Well.. Better luck next time, boss."

Olivar:He then sighs, looking to Talz "If only oil wasn't our name, Talz."

"If only oil..."

Talz:goss*

"We should probably leave before something else happens."

Olivar:"...I agree, but, one more moment. I have to check something out. Keep watch; you're doing great so far." He stands, and being as inconspicuous as possible heads for where Doral said

Talz:"Yes sir!"

Unknown:*Olivar can't help but get the feeling like he's being watched as he

follows her directions, taking the stairs to find a door at the top*

Olivar:He wants to make this quick, and opens the door "Hello?"

Unknown:As he opens the door, he sees the room is dim light with a red twi'lek standing beside trench coat wearing figure. The air feels stale and Olivar gets a bad sign when the door is suddenly swung widely with a stormtrooper standing on the other side.

Ayeser:"Hello!"

Olivar:"What's going on?"

Ayeser:"Oh, my boss has a job for you."

"Ain't that right, Arlluto!?"

Arlluto:As Ayeser says this, an arachnid's face comes out of the shadows long enough to say something in an annoyed and angry tone before falling back in the shadows of the room

Ayeser:"Oh, that's Arlluto for you!"

"A real mouthful he always has!"

"Anyways, Hi! Welcome, please come in!"

Ayeser says, stepping to the side

Olivar:He slowly steps in, taking a real good look around

He stays near the door "...what's the job?"

Ayeser:Ayeser slams the door shut and stands beside it, just behind Olivar as the trench coated figure turns to him and says

Solstice:"There is a girl down stairs."

"She's looking for a sort of body guard, we've paid the bar tender to point her in your direction."

"We want you to accept her job."

Olivar:"...is she going in any place in particular?"

Solstice:"We don't know."

"That's what we need you for."

"Once you've accepted her offer, you're going to be our eyes and ears on board her ship."

"We'll also give you an astromech droid so you can keep in touch with us."

Olivar:"....she has a ship?"

Solstice:"Yes. She is looking for someone to join her and make sure she gets to her destination safely."

"We need you to be that someone."

Olivar:"...and what do I get for being a spy?"

Solstice:"What do you want?"

Olivar:"A ship."

Solstice:"Done."

Olivar:"Consider it a done deal."

Solstice:"Your new droid will be one of the R4 series, they're old but reliable. We don't care what you tell the girl and her friends, as long as you don't inform them about our deal or meeting. If they suspect you're a spy, they will most likely try to execute you."

Olivar:"Wait, wait, wait. Friends?"

Solstice:"We're not sure how many she has with her, however we know that she is traveling with at least one passenger."

"We will not tell you who she is, why she's important or really anything about her as we want your reactions to finding out anything about her to be genuine."

Olivar:He wishes they told him this before hand, but he shrugs. He doesn't really have to do much and gets a ship out of the deal.

"Alright."

"Where's the droid?"

Solstice:"R4."

The woman says while still looking at Olivar before a beeping can be heard behind him as a droid rides into the room and says

R4-K8:"happy to see you ma'am!"

R4 says in droidspeak, a language Olivar was almost forced to pick up as a kid

Olivar:He looks to R4 "Alright. The name's Olivar. Are you informed on what's going on?

"

R4-K8:R4 whistles a little with a couple of beeps

"yes master"

Olivar:"Alright. We need to get you out that window, down to the ground, and when I come out, I need you to approach me like we've known each other for ages and I was having you go do some...unimportant task or something."

R4-K8:"R4 = mission understand"

Olivar:He looks to Solstice "You think you can handle that part?"

"Getting him down, I mean."

Solstice:"R4 can get himself down, also, the droid's full name is R4-K8, since it's your droid you should know it's name."

R4-K8:"R4 = happy to work"

Olivar:"When will I receive my pay?"

Solstice:"When she arrives at her destination."

"Tell R4 to put me on holo, from there we'll discuss your payment along with when and where you'll get it."

Olivar:"...how do I know you won't just fuck me?"

Solstice:"I am Dawn Solstice, I work directly under the next emperor of the galaxy, my word is my life, if I break it I shall perish."

Ayeser:"It's true, if she breaks her word Lord Leat will have kill her."

Ayeser says from the back ground as the door is now open from the droid making it's way in

Olivar:"...ᴴᵒᶫʸ ˢʰᶦᵗ..." He says under his breath

"Uh...I guess...I'll take your word on it then."

Solstice:"If you didn't take anyone's word then where would you be?"

Olivar:"...uh...yeah.."

"I get what you're saying."

Solstice:"Now go, and remember to check in every so often, but only when you can without the fear of being found."

R4-K8:"R4 = excited to leave*

"*

Olivar:"Gotcha." He walks back down the stairs, stretching

Doral:As Olivar makes his way down the stairs, he finds Doral sitting at the foot of them, winking as he passes her

Talz:Talz is in mostly the same place he left him maybe a little off as if he had moved since Olivar's departure

Olivar:He gives her the finger guns, and walks back to the table, sitting down "Alright, Talz, soon we'll be hooking up with a droid I've known for a while. His name is R4-K8, and from what I can remember he lives around here."

"Well...he's not like a battle droid. He's Astrodroid."

"Just wanted to give you a heads up."

Talz:"Oh, thank you for letting me now, Goss! I'm glad to finally be getting a droid, I've wanted one for awhile."

Olivar:"For now, we relax." He raises up his glass and takes another sip

Talz:"Yes sir!"

Unknown:Several minutes go by before the hooded figure Olivar saw talking to the bartender steps up to his table and says

"Excuse me, but I was told that you're a mercenary, is that true?"

Olivar:"Why yes ma'm."

Unknown:Taking a seat next to Talz, she leans into the table and picks her hood up enough for Olivar to see her face, she is a human female, no older than eighteen with soft blue eyes and light brown hair

"I'm in need of someone who can help me reach my friend, I have something he needs and I'm willing to pay for any inconveniences."

Olivar:"...how much?"

Unknown:"I can pay upwards of seven thousand creds just to have you for looks, plus another three hundred creds for any combat you're forced into, but I don't mean a simple push, I mean lasers blasting, possible death kind of combat, not that I think it will happen."

Olivar:"...well, where are we heading?"

Unknown:"Kooriva. I have a uncle there that is in trouble and.. Actually I should keep that to myself until we're on the ship, that is if you're agreeing to go."

Olivar:"Kooriva...hmm..." He thinks of where that could be "I'll tell you what, I'm in as long as we can make a stop at Atzerri along the way. From what I remember, it's pretty near by."

Talz:"Yes sir, it is, Goss."

Unknown:"That's fine, we'll probably have to get some fuel anyway. As long as you don't plan on being long."

Olivar:"Not long at all." He stands "Well, is your shipped stocked with supplies?"

Unknown:"Enough for a month."

"But it should only take a us a few day days to get there."

Olivar:"Let's get rolling, then."

Unknown:"Oh, thank goodness, I was worried I wouldn't find anyone in time."

R4-K8:As she says this, beeps emerge from behind Olivar's seat as Arfor Kait comes rolling up

"R4 = mission finished"

mission = finished*

Olivar:"R4! Nice to see you again!"

R4-K8:"R4 = surprised to see Olivar*

"Olivar = long time"

Olivar:He looks to the girl "I almost forgot to tell you. I'll be taking along the droid, R4 here, and Talz. They don't need much, so they're really a non-factor. Now, I have another companion that...is easy to contain, but will require food and such. Is that fine?"

Unknown:"Yes, that's okay. I'm sure we have plenty of food and space for you all."

R4-K8:"R4 = curious of the job"

Unknown:"Your master has agreed to be my body guard until I reach Kooriva."

R4-K8:"R4 = glad to join"

Unknown:"Alright, if you have nothing that you need to finish up here, I can take you to my ship and we can get going now.. If that's okay?"

Olivar:"A-Okay with me."

Unknown:"Alright, then follow me."

Olivar:He stands, grabbing the duffel bag, and follows

Talz:Talz gets to his feet and begins to follow the girl, R4 following behind

"Oh it's so nice to finally meet you, R4, goss has told me all about you."

Olivar:"So...what's your name?

Unknown:"I.. Would like to wait until we're safe on the ship, I'd rather people around here not know who I am."

Suddenly, Olivar feels a something grab his shoulder as something speaks in an alien language

Olivar:He puts his hand under his cloak and turns

Rodian:As he turns, Olivar finds a rodian standing in front of him with a pistol pointed at him who says

"Put the bag down and walk away."

Unknown:The girl along with the droids stop and look at the confrontation

Olivar:He puts his hand up "Hey now, let's talk this out." He goes to pull the gun away with the force

Olivar Uses Telepathy!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (124)

Rodian:Makes a Strength Check! (81)

Olivar:He points the gun right to his head "Shut the fuck up before I blow your brains out."

He puts one hand back in his cloak

Rodian:The rodian's pistol quickly flies out of his hand and starts to fly onto a table but stops and starts floating beside his head

"..."

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Olivar:"Why do you want the bag."

• ?

Rodian:The rodian nods as the girl's face lights up in joy as she begins to blush from happiness

Talz:"Oh, sparks, good show, goss!"

Olivar:"Someone better explain what's going on before I blow his brains out."

R4-K8:"R4 = not impressed"

Olivar:"I'm the god damn paterfamilias! Like ass it wasn't impressive!"

Rodian:No one else seems to be paying attention in the cantina as the rodian says, trembling

"I didn't, it was a test to see your skill."

Olivar:He turns his head to the girl "...do you know him?

"

Unknown:"No."

Olivar:He stares at him for a long moment

R4-K8:"Girl = truth"

Olivar:Perceives! (70)

Rodian:Charms! (21)

Olivar:"...I'll give you five god damn seconds to give me the full story before your skull blends in with that Blood Mary on the bar."

Rodian:"I already told you, I was just testing to see how good you are!"

Olivar:"Wh- from who?! Just randomly decided too?!"

Rodian:"My boss asked me to."

Olivar:"Well who's that?!"

Rodian:"Someone you don't want to have any trouble with."

The rodian says as a smirk comes across his little fly like face

snout*

Olivar:He grabs the gun from the air, puts it in his pocket, and head butts him. "Tell him I don't appreciate it."

"Or her. I don't judge."

Rodian:"Ah!"

The rodian makes a noise of pain as he's head butted as everyone in the bar stops and looks at them

Olivar:He just walks out

Unknown:The girl and droids follow, not long after, the girl taking lead as she leads them to one of the hangers

"It's just up here."

Olivar:He just continues to follow along

Unknown:As they turn to walk into the hanger that stores the girl's ship, they find themselves surrounded by sentients of all types.

Rai:In the middle of them is a face that Olivar had met not even an hour ago

"Hello there, fello bounty hunter, we meet again."

Unknown:The girl and droids stop in place as Rai stands in between them and her ship

R4-K8:"Rai = semi-famous bounty hunter in the mid rim territories // especially known to leave none alive."

Olivar:"...do you just not take bounties...where people are taken alive?"

Rai:"Well, I personally don't like all the extra work of hauling a living person, all the begging and screaming and crying and the 'oh, I have children' or the 'please, I'll double your pay', I find it much easier and definitely a lot quieter to just kill them."

"Now, you and I, we weren't done talking earlier."

Olivar:"What do you want?"

Rai:Rai points between himself and Olivar as he says each of them

"Well at first I wanted to know if you would be up for joining my crew."

"That's why I sent Hak your way."

"But then."

"I seen you take his gun and threaten him with it."

"Without even touching it."

Olivar:"..."

Rai:"Which, don't get me wrong, it was cool, and I found the little head but at the end a bit funny. But I have a brother up in the north end of the galaxy."

"He's like you."

"With the force and stuff."

"Most people don't really believe in it until they see it, at least think they see it, it's mostly become a child's fantasy to use the ancient ways of the force. Now, personally I never thought it was all that, even when my brother started using it, I think that it's kind of cheating, but my personal thoughts aside.. I.. I... I've been told I talk too much, is that true?"

"Ah, don't worry about it, I'll get to the point."

"My brother and I were separated when we were little, when he was discovered to have this force thing, they took him, who, I don't know, but I promised myself right after they took him that any forceful I came across, there after."

Rai:"I'd do one of two things."

"I would either kill them."

"Or I would help them."

"Now don't get the wrong idea, you're not alive right now because I decided to help you."

"You're still alive because I haven't decided yet."

R4-K8:"Rai = pushover"

Rai:Rai isn't paying attention to the droid, seemingly unaware as to what it just said

Olivar:"...what's making it such a tough choice?"

Rai:"Because you don't seem to be like the other forcefuls I've met, all stuck up, thinking your so high and mighty just because you can use some snout hootin' magic, and you haven't been annoying, honestly I kind of like you, as I said before, I was going to see if you wanted to join me."

"Just had a good feeling I guess."

R4-K8:"Rai = terrible enemy // Rai = great friend."

Rai:"I'm sorry for wasting so much time, I thought I would have decided by now which I was going to do, either apologize for sending Hak to you or to kill you."

or kill you*

Olivar:He looks around at all of Rai's crownies "I don't have any problems with you or even that Rodian fellow. Ultimately, your the king of your own fate."

• you're

Rai:"Yea, I was hoping you'd say something that'd help me lean on which one but that didn't really help me... Tell you what, I'll let you go but just know if I ever find out you have a bounty on you, I'll be the first one to kill you."

Olivar:"If that time comes, I'm sorry to say that your ass is grass. And don't think I say that because I have the force. I could care less."

Rai:Rai smiles and says

"That's what I like to say. The name is Rai Fros, leader of the Bal Korg and former commander of the Solstice military."

Rai extends his hand to shake Olivar's as his crownies begin to walk away

Olivar:He shakes his hand "Olivar."

Unknown:Allowing the girl and Talz to rush to the ship

Rai:"Any last name, Olivar?"

Olivar:"Not for a long time."

Rai:"I'll be watching you."

R4-K8:"Rai = !%$"

R4 beeps as Rai walks away, giving Olivar a stern handshake

Olivar:He walks to the ship, looking to the girl "Thanks for the advice, R4."

R4-K8:"R4 = happy to help"

Olivar:"Now, is there any more crew or...is it just us?"

Unknown:Upon getting to the open ship, a male voice yells from inside in an irritated tone

"Isa! I told you we don't need help!"

Isa:Looking back to Olivar as Talz is entering the ship, she finally takes off her hood and says

"Just my cousin, Hanzhefu."

"I am Isa, by the way. Nice to finally formally meet you, Olivar, I believe I heard you say?"

Olivar:"Yes you did." He shakes her hand "So, where are we heading?"

"Oh, right."

"Nevermind."

"Where is this...Hanzhefu?"

Hanz:As Olivar, Isa and R4 board the ship, the ramp lifts up, closing as Hanzhefu walks out and meets Olivar, as he puffs his chest out and lifts his head to him

"Who are you?"

Olivar:"Olivar."

"Hanzhefu, I presume?"

R4-K8:"Hanz = strong warrior"

Hanz:"Yea."

"I guess these droids are with you."

Olivar:He looks to R4 "You sure about that?" He shakes his head, returning to Hanz "Yes, the droid's with me."

Hanz:"Keep him out of my cock pit, he's not to touch anything on the ship that can mess with it's functions, and I don't know what my cousin told you, but you are to stay the h-."

Isa:Hanz is cut off by Isa who gets between the two and starts pushing him away, saying

"Okay, we can have this conversation later, Hanz, why don't you go and start the ship, we should probably be leaving."

Hanz:Hanz continues to stare at Olivar until he is no longer in view

R4-K8:"Hanzefu = hormones."

Olivar:"...he's, uh...he's a character, huh?"

R4-K8:"R4 = doesn't like him."

Olivar:"Eh, I'm on the fence."

Talz:It's only a few moments before Talz comes out of where Isa and Hanz went and says

"I found where we're going to be staying, Goss!"

Olivar:"Show me."

Talz:Talz takes Olivar to the crew quarters where there is pretty much everything he can ask for with the exception of a hot tub

Olivar:"Hot oil!"

He walks to the bathroom, looking around, and proceeds to set down and open up the beg

• bag

R4-K8:Looking at the fancy beds, the dressers and fancy lockers, there is also a bathroom with a big shower, a nice clean toilet, and a giant bath tub

"Quarters = high end"

Talz:"It even has a charging station for a astrodroid sir!"

Hordo:Hordo is pale, cold, and appears to be breathing very slowly

Olivar:"Oh shit!" He picks her up and puts her on the bed "Come on, come on, stay with me...

"

Hordo:She doesn't seem to want to wake up from her slumber

Olivar:He tries to make out what's wrong with her

Talz:"Oh, sparks, will she make it goss!?"

Olivar:Perceives! (60)

Hordo:After looking Hordo over, Olivar finds that she is infected with a type of worm, although common in animals on the world she was born on, it is rarely found in humans. The worm is a Al'thro, a poisness creature that after burrowing it's way into it's host's pit, either leg or arm (in this case leg), feeding on the white blood cells of the immune system.

among other things

Olivar:"Damn, we're in a tight spot."

He looks around for a knife with a precise tip

Hordo:While Olivar isn't able to find a knife, he finds something that can work just as well

Olivar:He looks around for some isopropyl alcohol.

Hordo:Olivar finds all of the things he needs to get the process

Olivar:He washes his hand thoroughly, and for good measure splashes some alcohol on them after wrapping up a towel tightly and putting it in her mouth "...alright. Time to start." He begins to remove the worm

He looks to Talz "Go ask them if they have any sort of medical cabinet."

Talz:"Yes sir, goss!"

Talz says, rushing his little metal ass out of the room

Hordo:It takes him almost five minutes to fully remove the worm as it leaves a knuckle sized hole in the back of her leg. The worm is half a foot long and is constantly moving, trying to find something to reattach itself to. Olivar knows that without the warmth of the body and the constant blood flow, the worm will die in a matter of minutes, however so will Hordo has she not only has lost a lot of blood already but is still loosing it from the hole left in her from the worm.

Isa:It's not until Olivar just takes the worm out that Talz returns with Isa who begins to say

"I'm sorry, I had to calm Hanz do-"

However stops herself as she gasps and mouths something

"What is that?"

"And who is that?"

"Olivar what's happening?"

Olivar:He looks to the worm and proceeds to chop it in half with the piece of metal "That's an Parisyticus Nemotoda Aburus, better known as a...what's it called, an Al'thro. Hate these fuckers." He begins to set Hordo's feet at an incline, guessing the actual height. "This is Hordo, a mass murderer who I have a bounty for. She usually isn't this much trouble."

"I need bandages. Stat."

"And blankets."

Isa:Isa, not really understanding or wanting to discus the large worm, nods and goes to get the things he has asked for, hurrying back in less than a minute with both

Olivar:"Do you have any form of medical plaster or something like that?" He starts piling blankets on Hordo

Isa:"I.. Uh.. No, I don't believe so."

Olivar:"Damn...." He rips off a bit of the blanket and pours alcohol on it, puts it on the wound, and then wraps it up

"That...ought to do it." He goes to wash his hands

Isa:As he's washing his hands, Isa walks into the bathroom and asks

"What um.. Will it.. Am I.. Are there any more of those?"

Olivar:"What? No. It was burrowing into her to do that. What I'm guessing is she had it before I found her, and just matured."

Isa:"Oh.. Okay... So.. There aren't any more on board, right?"

Olivar:"Nope. Even if there were, they would probably be inside her, which I will eliminate the possibility off with thorough inspection and a bath."

"She is the only one still at risk on this ship, and that's still very minimal."

Isa:"Okay.. Yea.. Alright, good, that thing was.. Nasty."

She says, looking back at it on the ground, now dead

"Well."

she says, taking a deep breath

"I just wanted to thank you again for coming along, I asked some guys before you but they turned me down, the one who agreed didn't really show when we agreed to meet."

R4-K8:"Solstice = killed him"

Olivar:"...I see."

"I'm sure he's...fine."

Isa:"Yes."

Olivar:"...well, uh, wh-why did they turn you down?"

Isa:"Well, no matter, we are and that's all that I'm worried about."

"Huh? Oh, because they learned who I was."

".. And who's after me."

"Which is why I'm really happy you're one of the forceful that have been popping up all over the galaxy recently."

Olivar:"...mind explaining to me who you are and who's after you?"

Isa:"You see, so are my cousin and I, but we aren't yet that powerful in it, he is strong and was raised as a great warrior however he isn't that trained in it."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, I've only told you my first name, haven't I?"

"My last name is Iskalon."

Olivar:"....no offense, but does that...mean anything, or is it just more of a statement."

Isa:"I am the next in line to be ruler of my planet, named after my family."

Olivar:"...ᵒʰ ˢʰᶦᵗ..."

"So...did you...get kicked out?"

Isa:"And recently, a group of gangsters have been growing rather large, just two years ago they came to my planet and tried to take it over, they call themselves Purg's Brotherhood, however most people know them simply as just the Purgs. Well, my father, the king didn't agree to their terms and they waged war on us, a war that until just a month ago killed our people and destroyed our home."

"Unfortunately, my mother's best friend, someone she knew from childhood, was an assassin who was payed by the purgs to kill my father."

Olivar:"Oh...I see..."

Isa:"My mother, feeling like she had no way of winning, bowed to the purgs and let them take over our home word of Iskalon."

"They agreed to let her live but said that I was a liability, so, just a few nights after we buried my father, one of the purgs were sent to my room to have me killed. Luckily, Hanz was there and the two got into a fight, Hanz was injured badly but he won."

"I went to my mother for help but she told me that it had to be this way, for the betterment of our home."

"So I left."

"Together with Hanz, and now we're on our way to Koova to meet our uncle."

Olivar:He didn't expect such a grand story

Isa:"He's the only one that, until I come of age, can take the kings place, even away from my mother."

Olivar:"Hey, uh...."

"I'm...sorry."

"Listen, we don't have to talk about it any more."

Isa:"No need to apologize, you were the one that accepted my offer and has joined me on my mission to get to my uncle. If anything I should be thanking you, again."

Olivar:"...is there any other like...faction you're heading up against or that the Purgs are allied with?"

"I don't mean to keep pushing, but this is shhhhhtuuff I need to know."

Isa:"It's fine, and to my knowledge the Purgs are working with the Elero to the south and Kileo to the north."

"I'm pretty sure I heard one of them bring up he Isadelnubo as well, but they're way over in the south west of the outer rim, how they have anything to do with this I don't know."

"But the Elero are a bunch of slavers who've in recent years have been taking over a bunch of planets from Rodia all the way to Karazak, I'm not sure why or how, but I think something big is happening in the outer rim and my world is on the very edge of it all."

Olivar:"Hm...alright."

"...heavy."

Isa:"Yea, I'm worried. And with the sudden bursts of forcefuls in these past few generations, I think it is trying to warn us about whatever is out there."

Olivar:He just shrugs "Maybe there's an imbalance in the force."

"I know jackshit about the force, but it's like...constantly seeking balance or something like that, right?"

Isa:"So some of the texts say, but most of the books and scrolls on the force were destroyed by the empire all those years ago, and for them to have lasted this long would be a miracle."

Olivar:"Ah man."

"Hey, you mind teaching me some of the stuff you know about the force later?"

"I'm not what they call formally trained."

Isa:"Oh.. I'm sorry but as I said earlier, I wasn't able to learn much, my father wanted me to focus on learning how to be a good ruler before I did too much learning of the force, and while Hanz knows a little bit he was raised as a warrior and less of a forceful."

"Which reminds me, I'm sorry about the way he acted earlier, just.. Give him a few days to get to know you."

"He's really a good guy, he means well, he's just protective of me after what happened on Iskalon."

Olivar:"Understandable."

He looks to Hordo "...got any liquid food?"

"When she wakes up she's going to need some..."

Isa:"I believe we have some red dral sauce."

Olivar:"That'll work." He pats her on the back "Sorry to keep you for so long."

"But, thank you."

Isa:"It's fine, I should probably get back to Hanz, I'll be sure to bring back that dral sauce, if you need anything just ask, please, don't be shy."

Isa says as she bows to Olivar and then to Talz as she exits the room, shutting the door behind her

Olivar:He does a slight bow, and then waits a couple of seconds "Holy shit..."

"Holy shit..."

"What the fuck's going on?!"

Hordo:Hordo while still not in a good condition doesn't seem to be getting worse.

Talz:"Oh, massive spills on a rug, I don't think this is good, Goss."

Olivar:"I'm not sure at this point..."

He looks to R4 "So...how do you communicate to what's her face? Is it like a constant transmission or what?"

R4-K8:"Talz = idiot"

Olivar:"Nah, he's just enthusiastic."

Talz:"What? Who is?"

"R4?"

R4-K8:"R4 = Kate."

Olivar:"No, you. You're the best damn Deputy I could ask for."

Talz:"Oh, why thank you sir! You're the best goss I've ever had!"

"Speaking of which, if you won't be needing me, I should be powering off soon."

Olivar:"Yeah, that'd be fine Deputy."

Talz:"My batter is reaching it's daily limit."

"Thank you sir!"

Olivar:*He salutes."

Talz:The salute is the last thing Talz sees as his lids close and he is quickly asleep

R4-K8:"Solstice = hologram."

"Hologram = word."

Olivar:"So, she can't hear us right now?"

R4-K8:"Solstice = no"

Olivar:"Alright, Kaite, you've been Deputized. I want to know what kind of stake Mizz Sol and her boss have in this."

R4-K8:"R4 = Solstice's owner // Olivar = partner // Owner = higher // Partner = lower"

Solstice = owner*

Olivar:"Doesn't mean you can't tell me. This information's vital into understanding what kinda role I play in all this."

R4-K8:"R4=ask Solstice for permission"

Olivar:"Ah, we'll do it later."

"Too much trouble right now."

He pats Kaite on the...head? "You can power off for now." He takes a seat on a bed, keeping an eye on Hordo

R4-K8:R4 rides over to the astrodroid charger in the room before powering off.

PAGE 08: KALARBA END

R4-K8:Later that night, Kate's light turns back on as the room is dimly lit by a blue glow, just enough to keep Olivar from waking up. As a holo projection appears in front of R4

Solstice:"R4, report."

PAGE 09: // START

B8-G6:Vek and Qotaro are awoke by the sounds of explosions and blaster fire not far in the distance

Vek:He jumps up and grabs his stuff "BAIT! What's going on!?"

B8-G6:Vek and Qotaro can feel the ship land as Bait calls out

"We've arrived on Socoroo, master."

The blaster fire slows down with one last explosion in the distance

Qotaro:"Aaah, batcha!"

Vek:"...What about all the..fighting?"

B8-G6:"According to records Socorro is known as a town of smugglers and other underworld figures, it's possible that one had a scuffle, I seen some people shooting at each other in the hanger next to us."

Vek:"Can we not just go somewhere nice for once? Is everywhere we go a shit hole?"

Qotaro:He nods, "Everywhere."

Vek:"I was afraid of that.."

B8-G6:"I'm afraid I did not chose a place of your liking, I'm sorry masters."

Qotaro:"GAH!"

Vek:"...Let's decide, together, where we're going before we blast off this time, okay?"

"..Speaking of, just be ready in case we gotta split like last time."

B8-G6:"Yes sir!"

"Do you wish to leave now? We have enough fuel and food to last us until Reuss."

Vek:"Nah."

"That'd just be a waste."

Qotaro:"Aahhh, gatcha ga!"

Vek:"Alright, Qotaro, a place like this seems like just the right place to get some more help."

"We need more bodies to take shots for us, cause you're tiny and they keep shooting me."

Qotaro:He nods, "Ga, gatcha ba!"

"Aaahh gabba!"

B8-G6:"According to the records this is one of the best places in the outer rim to buy more bodies, master."

Vek:"...No."

"God fucking damnit."

"Not this shit again."

Qotaro:"..." He looks to the ship, and points at it, claps his hands together, then points up at the sky, then makes a rocket noise as he moves his other hand up slowly

Vek:"No, no, we're too deep in."

"Now it's personal."

Qotaro:"... Gaaahh.."

B8-G6:"If you're going out, might I ask that you inquire a doir?"

acquire*

Vek:"...What's a doir?"

Qotaro:"Sagabada!"

B8-G6:"They're little four legged creatures that eat rust and help keep droid and most scraps of metal like myself clean."

Vek:"...Okay."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "Gatcha!" As he then began to scrape his wrench alongside B8's rusty body

B8-G6:"They are only about four inches long, usually gree- Ah.. That doesn't feel too nice master Qotaro."

Vek:"Lay off 'em, Q. We need to get this door and get out of here."

Qotaro:He shook his head, "Gabatcha!" As he tapped on B8's chassis with the wrench, before sighing, "Gabagatcha." As he then went to step away

B8-G6:Bait stands up opening the door for them

Humans:As the door opens and the ramp lets down, Qotaro and Vek find themselves in the middle of a full hanger of mostly humans but there is an alien every so often

Vek:"Act natural" He says, to Qotaro, as he looks around and tries to find someone who looks like they are selling things

Qotaro:He nods and gives a thumbs up, "Gatcha."

Humans:Vek and Qotaro are able to make it through the crowed with no one paying them any mind, after getting out of the hanger they find shops, houses, speeders, and loiterers on every street corners

Vek:he carefully steps around, asking people if they have a doir

Qotaro:"Waa. Gatcha na!"

Humans:After a few tries one of the loiterers says

"No, but I know of who does."

"You can find that smeachalkor over there in that droid shop."

(smeachalkor is a racists term for an alien that has more than ten fingers)

Vek:"..Thanks, pal." He heads over to the droid shop

Humans:The human nods

Upon entering the droid shop they find a human working the register, the walls filled with different droids, parts hanging from the ceiling, two little astrodroids sit in front of the register one with a glass of worm like creatures on it's head, the other is beeping along a tune

As they walk in, the man at the register says

"Hello! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome to Homer's Droid Sphere!"

"Any thing droid we either have, will have, or have had!"

"If there is anything I or mister Homer can do for you, just let me know."

Qotaro:"Hmm... Gabba!"

Vek:"We're looking for a doir."

Humans:"A doir huh? They're pretty rare, what do you need it for?"

Vek:"...Our droid."

Human:"Well that would make sense, otherwise you probably would have went somewhere else. Alright, give me two seconds."

With that the human heads into the back, beyond where Vek and Qotaro could see

Vek:He taps his foot a bit, scratching his neck

Qotaro:He taps on one of the droids a bit, inspecting it

Droid:The droid is off but seems to be in semi good condition

Qotaro:He just began to mess with it for a good bit

Stormtrooper:After a few minutes two stormtroopers walk in the area and stop when they see Vek and Qotaro

One gets behind Vek as the other walks over beside Qotaro, saying

"Good droid huh?"

Vek:"What?"

Stormtrooper:The stormtrooper behind Vek looks to him and asks

"Did you say something?"

The trooper beside Qotaro says

"Yea, I like the B1 units myself."

"Old but still do their job."

Vek:"....My bad, thought I saw someone."

Stormtrooper:The trooper behind Vek noded as the one beside Qotaro asks

"How about you?"

Qotaro:"Hmmm... Gabba ga?"

Stormtrooper:"... Yea.. They're cool too?"

Qotaro:He nods, "Batcha."

Stormtrooper:The trooper takes a step away from Qotaro, his helmet faced towards the droids, trying to not come off as rude and the trooper behind Vek begins to whistle before saying

"Man, what is taking that guy so long?"

Vek:"He went to get something from the back, I think.."

Stormtrooper:As Vek says this they can hear glass break in the back along with some things tumbling down

"Uh oh, that didn't sound good."

Trooper 2 says

"Wonder what that was Hix?"

Vek:"It's probably fine."

Stormtrooper:Trooper 1:

"Yea, I don't think it was nothing to worry about."

Human:The shop keep finally comes back out saying

"I am really sorry for taking so long, that damn nil-houn got out and was moving everything!"

Placing down a cup filled with oil he turns to the troopers and says

"Oh, Hix, Derrel, what are you two doing? Your delivery isn't for another three hours?"

Stormtrooper:"Oh shit, really?"

Trooper 2 says as 1 says

"Damn, got the times mixed up, alright, have a good one, we'll be back."

With that the troopers leave

Vek:He breathes a sigh of relief, as he turns to the clerk "So, you found the door?"

Stormtrooper:"Yep. It's right here, for seventy eight creds you can have it."

Human:"Yep. It's right here, for seventy eight creds you can have it." *

Vek:"Sure." He goes to pay the man

Human:Taking his creds, the man asks

"Anything else I can help you with? I see your friend has taken a liking to that droid, maybe he wants to buy it?"

"Or one of these little astrodroids?"

Qotaro:"Hmm... gabba ga..."

Human:"They're both in.. Well."

Vek:"How much?"

Human:"The hanging one your friend likes is going to be one hundred and twenty creds, the little astrodroids here are each one hundred and forty creds."

"The R5 unit can use some work, that's why he's the same amount as the R3."

"But the R3 unit has a few custom thing, it's last owner was a droid fighter."

Vek:"We'll take the R3."

Human:"Alright, that'll be one hundred and forty five creds."

Vek:He goes to grab Qotaro's money to put together with his

Qotaro:"Eehh... gatcha." He said, going in with Vek with his money

Vek:He goes to pay the man

Human:Taking the money, the droid whistling stops and looks over to Vek as the man says

"R3, meet your new owner."

Qotaro:"... Gabba ga."

Vek:"Hey there, buddy."

R3-I7:"R3 = Happy to meet owner // Owner = looks cool"

Qotaro:"Bagabba." He says, walking over and inspecting R3

R3-I7:R4 seems to be in pristine condition with only one dent on is leg

Qotaro:"Hmm..." he said rubbing his chin, thinking of a way to fix R3's dent later

R3-I7:"R3 = likes new master"

R3 beeps, talking in the normal astrodroid's droid speak

Human:"Alright, will that be all?"

Vek:"Yessir."

Human:"Alright, come back to Homer's Droid Sphere anytime!"

The shop keep sits back down in his chair as the sound of bells can be heard from the door way, making the shop keep stand back up

"Hello!"

"Welcome welcome to Homer's Droid Sphere!"

"Where we have any and all things droids."

R3-I7:"New guests = past owners // past owners = bad people // R3 = wants to leave"

Qotaro:"Oooh, gatcha, ba!"

Jaqua:In walk four Jaquas as they begin to browse Homer's Droid Sphere's selection. One stopping when he hears R3's beeps and whistles, looking over saying

"Ba keil?"

Vek:Makes a Willpower Check! (142)

Qotaro:"Oooh, bagabaga!" He said, jumping, looking over, and staring

Vek:He tenses right the fuck up, and stares them down

Jaqua:The group of Jaquas look to Qotaro for a moment as coldness enters the room

Vek:He steps between the Jaqua and Qotaro "Excuse us, we were just leaving."

Qotaro:He nods, stepping behind R3, making sure it was between him and Vek

Human:"Oh, Comper, I hate dealing with these guys, hay yea, Jaquas, if you want something buy it, every time you come in here you break three droids."

Jaqua:R3 followed Vek out the door as the Jaquas continue to stare at Qotaro, one pointing at the jawa as it makes a squealing noise

Qotaro:"GAAAAHHH!" He yelled back, as loud as he could, pointing back at him, walking backwards, not letting it out of his sight

Vek:"Q, stop, we need to go, now."

"Before this gets out of hand."

Jaqua:As Qotaro takes his last step out the door all four of the Jaqua go to grab something from under their robes quickly

Human:As they do sirens begin to go off in the store as the shop keep says

"NO!"

Vek:He grabs Qotaro and dives to the side out the door

Human:Suddenly blood and clothes start flying as eight droids on each wall turn on and blast the four Jaquas with everything they have, pieces going everywhere, even their blasters are torn apart in the sudden volley of fire

"I told you fucking Jaquas not again!"

Vek:"......"

Qotaro:"... Gabba..."

Vek:".....huh."

"Alright, well..."

"Let's go."

R3-I7:"Jaquas = trouble // Shopkeep = hates Jaquas"

"R3 = hates Jaquas"

Vek:"You and me both, buddy."

"Twice now, Jaquas have taken everything from me. I was scared this was going to be #3."

Human:A group of humans run into the store in janitor like garbs, knowing their job as they immedietly begin cleaning up the mess

R3-I7:"Jaquas = bad beings"

Human:One of the janitors walk up to Vek and asks

"Excuse me, did you see what happened in here?"

R3-I7:"New Master = no"

Vek:"..No, man."

Human:The man nods and goes back inside saying

"Good."

Vek:"...I think I'm feeling sick... Let's just get back to the damn ship."

R3-I7:"Ship = leaving planet?"

Vek:"Maybe...Q, what do you think we should do?"

Qotaro:"Hmm... Gatcha ba... no... gabanga?" He said, as he looked around the marketplace, while slowly walking back in the direction of the ship

R3-I7:"R3 = happy to leave Socorro"

Vek:"Yea...especially if this place has more Jaquas, it's not worth it." He starts heading for the ship

Human:Along their route back, a human points at Vek and says

"You there!"

"Hey, you in the hood!"

"With the droid and little alien!"

Qotaro:"... Ahhh, gabba."

Human:"Yea, you! Come here!"

Vek:"No, we're fine."

Human:"I got something I think you want."

Vek:"....What?"

Human:"Come here, it's not exactly.. Allowed in this part of the galaxy."

Vek:That just boggles his gnoggin

Human:"Only those in the core are allowed to create and own these."

"Come here."

"You can even bring your friends or pets or.. whatever you call them."

Vek:He walks over, cautiously

Human:The human backs into a dark ally waving for Vek to get just a little closer as he puts his hand in a bag on the ground, crouching over

"Listen, I can give you a good deal on this but.. No refunds."

"If you kill yourself with it or those guys in the white armor finds it, you found this on some dusty planet that no one likes like tatooine."

"Now, I just feel like your someone who'd like this sort of thing."

Vek:"....what is it?"

Human:The man flashes it quickly as Vek sees the man is holding a lightsaber with a curved hilt, as it appears to be in much better condition than his as it seems to have been made by an actual smith instead of someone placing a bunch of scraps together

"Real nice, huh?"

Vek:"How much?"

Human:"Yea, I thought so, you won't be seeing too many of these around. It's on a special deal right now because, well I'm going to be honest, I have to ditch it. Got some people after me and if they find me with this then that's death, for more than just one."

"It's one thousand credits."

Vek:He just goes to grab it

Human:"The normal one- hey!"

The man says as he falls back, not expecting Vek to do this

"Hey, that's mine, I made that you piece of shit!"

"Give it back!"

Vek:he holds it out towards him "You made it, huh? For who?"

Human:"For none of your business!"

Vek:"Look, I'm really here to help, you just gotta tell me the problem."

Human:".. I made it for Doral."

"He's some wanna be forceful who gave me the crystal, he knew that I used to live in the core and already knew how to make the hilt."

"Now he's dead and the people who killed him found out he hired me to make the blade."

Vek:"Who killed him?"

Human:"I don't know, but I heard one of his men call him Darth and the last Darth we had took control of the universe."

"I wasn't going to be the cause of that happening again."

Vek:"...Oh, shit."

"Nevermind, man."

"I was gonna go kill them for you but, that sounds like a bit out of my league."

Human:"Just.. Wait.. Are you one of them?"

Vek:"One of who?"

Human:"Are you one of the forcefuls?"

Vek:He just stares at him like he's talking gibberish

Human:"Please, if you are, please help me!"

"Just take me to the next planet!"

"That's all I ask, I can pay you."

Vek:"...okay."

Human:"Two hundred creds."

Vek:"I'm keeping this though."

Human:"No, one hundred creds."

"Fine, keep it as the pay."

Vek:"No, let's keep the hundred too."

Human:"Seventy?"

Vek:"We don't make a lot of money."

".....90."

Human:"Seventy five?"

Vek:"...80."

Human:"Seventy?"

Vek:"...."

Human:"... Fine, eighty."

"But I get a room to myself."

Vek:"Do you want a fucking ride or not?"

Human:"Yes, please, when are we going?"

Vek:"Right now."

R3-I7:"R3 = doesn't like guest"

Human:"Oh, thank you."

Vek:"But you're staying with the droids."

Human:The man gets off the ground and bows, picking up his bag as he says out of breath

"What?"

Vek:"If you try any fishy business, you're not gonna have time to regret it."

R3-I7:"Guest = no"

"Guest = dirty"

"Guest = disgusting"

Vek:"I get it."

Human:"Yes, what the droid said."

"Please. Let us be off."

Vek:"...Sure, pal."

Qotaro:"... Gabbaga."

B8-G6:It doesn't take them much longer and they get any more problems or stops before seeing Bait talking to a stormtrooper on the ramp of their ship

Stormtrooper:"HAHAH! That's a good one."

Vek:"Excuse me."

Stormtrooper:The trooper and Bait look to Vek as they both step aside, the trooper saying

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just asking your droid for direction."

Vek:"...Direction, huh?"

Stormtrooper:"Yep, my partner, the one who usually pilots the ship died a few days back. I seen your ship land earlier and just came over to ask if you guys could tell me where Zhar was."

"Got a new pilot but they don't know much and our ship isn't the best, doesn't even have a navigational system."

"I'm telling you, these Elero bastards really don't pay much."

Vek:"Well, we really gotta go."

Stormtrooper:"Oh, yea, of course, sorry to keep you. Hey, bait, thanks for the conversation, Jalj almost doesn't know how to talk."

"It's like she's hooperla suprop"

With that, the trooper turns and walks away, heading towards the hanger next to theirs

R3-I7:"Stormtrooper = cool outfits, bad attitude"

B8-G6:"Oh, master Vek."

"I believe you have mistakenly let something tag along."

Bait looks down at R3 and says

"Go on now!"

Vek:"When did you get buddy buddy with stormtroopers, bait?"

B8-G6:"Sho-"

"Master?"

Vek:"Hey, no, he's with us."

Qotaro:"... Gabba..."

B8-G6:B8 looks back to R3 and back to Vek

"He's with us?"

Vek:"So's that guy." he points to the guy

B8-G6:B8 looks to the fat, greasy, long haired, sandy man that Vek has agreed to bring along

"Oh, well at least he looks like someone we can trust but this.. Are you sure you want this droid master?"

B8 says about the nice, clean, pristine, clear headed custom astrodroid

droid, master*

R3-I7:"Bait = rude."

B8-G6:B8 looks towards R3 and back to Vek

"He's already judging me."

R3-I7:"Bait = did it first."

Qotaro:"... Oh... gabba..."

Vek:"...Bait what the hell is wrong with you?"

B8-G6:"I'm sorry, master?"

Vek:"What is wrong with another droid?:

"And how is that guy trustworthy?"

"No offense."

B8-G6:"Does this droid even have a restraining bolts?"

Human:"None taken."

Vek:"Do you?"

B8-G6:".. No, master."

Vek:"Look, I just spent all of our money on this droid, I'm not just leaving it."

Buroal:"Yea, swell, can you and your droid here argue on board, I was in that ally for a reason, being out in the open isn't a good idea and with all of these troopers walking around, I really don't like my chances."

Qotaro:He's seriously considering shooting Buroal, or at least shooting him

hitting*

Vek:He grimaces as he gets a good look at him again

"Yea, let's just get on the ship."

R3-I7:*Vek = thank you. // R3 = happy about new master."

B8-G6:"Did you get my doirs?"

Vek:"Yes."

R3-I7:"Doirs = nasty."

Vek:"R3, what the hell is a doir?"

R3-I7:"Doir = a sentient four armed worm like creature that oils and cleans old droids in a symbiotic relationship."

Qotaro:"No gabba."

R3-I7:"Doirs = don't like any other life forms and especially hate other sentients."

Qotaro:"Oooh. No good."

Vek:"S-"

"Sentient?"

"Bait, what the fuck is this?"

R3-I7:"Doirs = frowned upon by most."

Vek:"What the fuck did you make us get?"

B8-G6:"What master?"

"I just wanted to be cleaned, I'm sorry if that goes against your.. Thoughts."

Vek:"We can clean you on the next planet, then get rid of these things."

"Don't touch this until then."

B8-G6:"But they can clean me on the way."

Vek:"Nah."

B8-G6:"Just one cleaning, master."

"Please?"

Vek:"If you want to

"Step outside and do it now, sure."

Buroal:"Alright, you all can keep talking but I'm getting inside."

Buroal says pushing Bait aside as he gets in the ship

Vek:"....Qotaro, go watch him."

B8-G6:"If that is my only two options."

Qotaro:He nods, and draws his blaster, walking in behind Buroal

Buroal:"Whoa.. Hey, listen alright.. I'll be good."

Vek:"Alright, let's just get right over... here." He gets a good bit away from the ship

Qotaro:"No games. No chances. No gabba."

B8-G6:Bait follows Vek over to the area before asking

"Uh.. Excuse me master but can I.. Get to a private place?"

Vek:"....Just let them clean you, does it matter that much if you have privacy?"

B8-G6:"I would prefer to not do it in the open, master."

Vek:"....Okay, let's find a place."

B8-G6:It doesn't take long for them to find a place where B8 lets the doirs out on him

Vek:He just watches

B8-G6:It takes upwords of an hour for the doir to do it's job as the twelve inch worm makes it's way all around Bait, cleaning and repairing any dents and damage before he's back to new as it slides from his hand back into it's cup of oil before Bait places a lid on the cup with a hole in it for air

"Alright master, all done, how do I look?"

Vek:"....Like a new man."

"...D-droid, whatever. "

B8-G6:"Oh, thank you master."

"Are we to depart now?"

Vek:"Yea." He goes to take the cup back

B8-G6:Bait watches Vek as he takes the cup

Vek:"...Alright, let's get going."

B8-G6:Bait follows Vek back to the ship as they get on, they're greeted by R3 who says

"Vek = took long // R3 = worried // Bait = doesn't look like a piece of belgro now."

Vek:"...That's good."

R3-I7:"I'll take that as a compliment."

Vek:He thinks for a moment, as he goes to set the cup outside

B8-G6:"I'll take that as a compliment"*

Qotaro:He's sitting in the ship, leaned back in a chair, his gun still pointed at the dirty man

Buroal:Buroal is on the edge of his seat

Qotaro:"Gaaah!" He points at Buroal, and points at the window, making sure he wasn't looking at him

R3-I7:"R4 = had to sit with nasty guest."

Vek:He comes back in and gets in his seat "Alright, let's get out of here. Where are we going to, next?"

Buroal:Buroal keeps his face turned towards the window, not wanting to get blasted

B8-G6:"That trooper back there said he was going to Zhar so I believe it would be best if we went the opposite."

opposite way*

"Dom-Bradden is the opposite way, master."

"I've heard it's a safe planet, I think we'll be safe there, master."

Vek:"..Bait.."

"Do they have slaves?"

B8-G6:"I don't.. Know master?"

"I'm sorry I can't be of much help in the information area master but my recordings were destroyed when your family found me."

"I wish I could help you more."

Vek:"..R3, do you have a map?"

R3-I7:"R3 = yes owner"

R3 pulls up a holo map of their area in the galaxy

Qotaro:"G-... Gabba..." he said, as he blinked, and looked at the map, inspecting it

Vek:"Hmmm... what about Lok?" He says, pointing at Lok

B8-G6:"While we were on Orvax I heard some radio chatter and they discussed a prison on Lok and how it had a really dangerous person there so they're upping the security."

"I don't recommend us to go there but if that is where you wish to go, master."

Vek:"...Dom-Bradden is fine."

B8-G6:"Yes, sir."

With that Bait goes and gets in the pilot seat, moving in ways Vek and Qotaro didn't even know he could, as it's less stiff and more fluent, turning the ship and beginning to take off

R3-I7:"R3 = Dom-Bradden isn't safe."

Vek:"Wait!"

R3-I7:Dom-bradden = isn't safe*

Vek:"Why not, Bait?"

R3 *

R3-I7:"Troopers = commonly visit Socorro // Troopers = come from Dom-Bradden"

Vek:"...."

"They.."

"Come from..."

"Oh, hell no."

Qotaro:He turns his head towards B8

Vek:"R3, what about... Shimia?"

B8-G6:B8 is piloting casually, not able to hear the group conversation

Vek:He turns his head "Bait! Stop!"

B8-G6:Bait looks back to Vek as he slows the ship down to where he no longer as to pilot

"Master?"

Vek:"We're changing destinations."

R3-I7:"Shimia = home to Pacithhip. // Pacithhip = hate droids. // R4 = not safe // Bait = not safe."

B8-G6:"Yes sir, where are we going?"

Vek:"R3, Ryloth?"

R3-I7:"Ryloth = homeworld of the Twi'lek. // Twi'lek women = slaves."

Qotaro:"GAAAH!"

Vek:"...That sounds like a job for another day."

"What about Reuss?"

R3-I7:"Reuss = became industrial planet after the empire // Reuss = good place to hide"

"Troopers = would not like Reuss."

"Reuss = doesn't have too many sentients on it."

Vek:"Okay, Reuss it is."

R3-I7:"Owner = careful on Reuss // Reuss = deadly toxins in the air. // Owner = can only breath two hours of the planet's air before getting sick. // Sick = can lead to death"

Vek:".....Okay, no."

"Drexel?"

R3-I7:"Drexel = ocean world with little to no life. // Drexel = homeworld of the legendary sea dragons. // Sea Dragons = big sentient water lizards."

Qotaro:"Gaaah!"

Vek:"Is this entire system just a shit hole?"

Qotaro:"... Zhar?"

"Zhar, gabba?"

R3-I7:"System = yes."

Vek:"I appreciate your input, R3."

R3-I7:"R3 = happy to help"

"R3 = likes new master"

Qotaro:"... Gah."

R3-I7:"R3 = doesn't like Bait"

Vek:"R3, Zhar?"

R3-I7:"Zhar = unknown"

Vek:"Fuck it, we're going to Zhar."

R3-I7:"Bait = change course"

Vek:"Yes, Bait, take us to Zhar."

Qotaro:"Yes, Bait, gabba."

B8-G6:*Yes, master."

Bait gets back in the seat and changes course slightly

PAGE 09: SOCORRO END

PAGE 10 // START

Isa:The door to the room springs open as Isa walks, causing R4 to turn on and look over as the light comes on waking Olivar up as well

"Excuse me, mister Olivar?"

"I'm sorry to wake up but I felt I should inform you that we've reached your destination."

Olivar:He shoots up, putting up his fists "Hu- what the fuck?"

"Oh...yeah."

"Atzerri, right?"

Isa:"Yes sir."

Olivar:He looks to Hordo

Isa:"I'm sorry if I startled you."

Hordo:Hordo is sound asleep

No longer almost dying from a creature

Olivar:"It's...alright." He sticks his hand underneath his helmet, rubbing his face. He pulls out his data slate, checking the location of where he needs to turn in Hordo.

Hordo:He sees that his final destination will take him six hours if he tries to walk it, seven if he tries to walk with Talz

Olivar:"Geez..." He looks to Isa "Hey, is there any port you can park at in this area?" He tells her the general area of the place he needs to go.

Hordo:"Oh, uh.. I can go and see."

Isa:"Oh, uh.. I can go and see."*

Olivar:He nods, leaning back

R4-K8:As Isa leaves R4 looks to Olivar and says

"Atzerri = isn't apart of mission"

Olivar:"...yeah. It's called a pit stop."

"I have business to do."

R4-K8:"Mission = business to do."

Olivar:"There's no need to rush."

"No reason whatsoever. In fact, I've kinda already done my job. We know where we're heading."

He stands, stretching "That was the goal, you know."

R4-K8:"Olivar = accompany Isa to her stop."

Olivar:"That's why I said kinda."

he starts tapping his foot, waiting for Isa to get back

R4-K8:"R4 = coming with you."

Isa:Before Olivar can respond, Isa walks back into the room saying

"Alright, Hanz is going to get you closer but it won't be too much closer I'm afraid."

Olivar:"That's fine."

Isa:"If you don't mind, I think my cousin and I will stay here in a ship while you do your bussiness, just please don't take too long."

business*

Olivar:"Alright." He walks over to Talz

Talz:Talz is still asleep with his metallic eye lids closed

R4-K8:"Talz = leave // Talz = slow."

Olivar:"What's with the rush? I need my deputy."

R4-K8:"Mission = get back to // stop = get done fast // Talz = nice but slow // Talz = not very helpful"

Olivar:"He's extremely helpful. He's another set of hands."

R4-K8:"Talz = fine."

Olivar:"Yeah. That's why he's coming."

"He's a fine man."

Talz:With all of the noise in front of him, Talz's eye lids open as his human eyes look to Olivar saying

"Oh, hi goss!"

Olivar:"We're about to go turn in this criminal."

Talz:"Oh, goody! Let's get to work, goss!"

R4-K8:R4 has already rolled out of the room and is waiting on them at the door of the ship

Olivar:He softly puts Hordo back in her bag

Hordo:By this time Hordo is awake but still too weak from the blood loss to really put up much of a fight

Olivar:He starts walking out "Finally..."

Talz:After putting her in the bag and making his way off the ship, Olivar finds himself in the middle a city with speeders flying around the sky above him as he hears from the side

Droid:"Taxi Speeders!"

"Come get your taxi speeder here!"

"Taxi speeders!"

"Need one, you got one!"

Olivar:He flags one down "Hey!"

Droid:One of the speeders stops just above Olivar and slowly lowers to his level as the droid in the driver seat asks

"Where to pal?"

Olivar:He gives him the adress

Droid:"Two hundred and seven creds."

Olivar:He gives him the creds

He lets everyone hop in before him, and then hops in himself

R4-K8:Talz is able to get in just fine after Olivar throws Horo in and R4 climbs in while he is looking away, dealing with Hordo. Upon getting in the taxi, Olivar finds the droid driver is listening to some underground droid raps

Olivar:He's getting into it

Droid:It doesn't take so long for Olivar to get to the building he is bringing the bounty in and is surprised to find that it's a hospital

"Will you be coming back out or should I leave?"

Olivar:"I'll be coming back out."

Droid:"Ten creds per minute."

Olivar:"Ten?! Come on, I could just get another cab for cheaper!"

Droid:"And I could get another fair while you're gone."

Olivar:"I'll take 5 per minuet."

Droid:"....."

the droid stares at Olivar

"But eventually says*

"Fine, five creds per minute."

Olivar:He snaps, and starts running into the building

R4-K8:Olivar makes it into the building with Hordo over shoulder as Talz and R4 take their time following along, as Olivar makes it inside he asks the front desk for Mr.Helzing, the person that put the bounty on Horo and is directed to his office. Olivar spares no time following the directions to him

Olivar:He runs into the office

Dr. Helzing :Upon opening the door to his office, Olivar finds the doctor with blood all over him as he holds a dildo as a young boy sits in a chair against the wall asleep. As Olivar walks in, the doc looks to him and says

"Alright, hello!"

Olivar:He sets the bag on the floor, unzips it, and takes out Hordo

Dr. Helzing :"Oh.. Oh.. Oh.. OH! I see."

"Good! Good!"

The doc walks to behind his desk where he opens a draw before taking out some creds and handing them to Olivar

"Five thousand creds to the man that brought me the live body of Hordo Willo"

"Good, you did your part mister.. uhh... Who are you?"

The doc contorts his face in all sorts of ways as he asks this

Olivar:"Olivar."

Dr. Helzing :"Alright mister Olivar, if I need another subject I will be sure to give you a call but for now you may leave us."

Olivar can't help but notice the drool that is dripping from the boy's mouth

Olivar:"...you okay?"

Dr. Helzing :"Oh, don't worry about him, that's just my son, Trev-or."

"Trev-or! Wake up my boy we have guests!"

The doc kicks the boy but he has no reaction besides a grunt

"Ah, don't mind him."

Olivar:"...pleasure doing business." He books it out

Dr. Helzing :A saw starts as Olivar makes his exit

Olivar:He jumps in the taxi "Time?"

Droid:As Olivar jumps back in, the droid looks back to him saying

"Seven minutes."

Olivar:He hands the droid 242 credits.

"I need to get back to where I was."

Droid:The droid winks to Olivar and takes off back to where he first picked him up right after Talz and R4 get in

Olivar:He stretches and heads back to the ship

Hanz:Entering the ship he finds Hanz sitting in the lounge area of the ship

"That was quick."

"What did you go and do?"

Olivar:"I had a bounty. I turned it in."

Hanz:"Do anything else? Tell anyone who we are?"

"Where we're going?"

Olivar:"...why don't you just go ahead and accuse me."

"Because I haven't said shit to anyone."

Hanz:"I am. I don't trust you and I think you're going to betray us for money."

Olivar:"Why so?"

Hanz:"Say it's a feeling."

Olivar:"I'm not going to say shit."

Hanz:"Yea, we'll see about that mister bounty hunter. Just know I'm only letting you stay here because Isa feels better with someone else on board."

Olivar:"You should both feel safer with me on board. Let's hurry up and get to Kooriva."

Talz:"I'm afraid I sense hostility in the air."

Olivar:"Same here."

Hanz:"Yea, we'll be doing that. But when we get there, you get whatever money she offered you and be on your way."

With that Hanz goes back to the cockpit to take off

Isa:It doesn't take too much longer for Isa and group to make it to the next planet of Kooriva

Talz:Olivar can feel the ship slow down as Talz looks to him saying

"I think we're done with the job, goss."

Olivar:He looks to R4 "Guess so."

R4-K8:R4 is staring back at him

Isa:Within a few minutes Isa walks in and says

"Well, we're here."

"Apart of me is glad that nothing happened but.. Well, I guess this is good bye."

Taking out a some creds, she tosses them on the bed Olivar slept on during his stay aboard the ship

"Thank you for your help. In there you will find the seven thousand I agreed to pay."

Olivar:He nods "Pleasure doing business...say, why don't we go out to get a bite to eat?"

"My treat."

Isa:"I don't think that would be a good idea, Hanz and I really need to go and meet our uncle."

Olivar:"Come ooon, a congratulations on you living and a job well done!"

Charms! (66)

Isa:Charms! (77)

"What do you want to get?"

Olivar:"You know what, never mind." He grabs his bags. "Well, we'll all be on our way."

"Where is, uh, Hanz?"

Isa:"He's taking a shower before we head out. Thank you again for joining us, even though you didn't really have to do anything it still helped ease my mind."

Olivar:"I want to give him a proper good bye, do you mind if I wait?"

Isa:"No, that's fine, just.. Yea, if uh. If you need anything, I'll be in the lounge."

Olivar:He snaps

Isa:With that she exits the room

R4-K8:As she does R4 beeps

"Olivar = why?"

Olivar:"I want to antagonize him a little."

R4-K8:"Olivar = don't get in a fight. // Hanz = bad attitude but good fighter"

Olivar:"I'm not going to get into a fight, trust me."

R4-K8:"Olivar = fine."

Olivar:He goes out into the lobby

Hanz:It takes only a few minutes before Hanz steps in front of the door asking

"Isa said you asked for me?"

Olivar:He walks up "I just wanted to wish you look on your journey." He goes to shake his hand, placing his off hand on Hanz's hand, staring him in the eyes through his helmet

Olivar Uses Telepathy!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (146)

Hanz:Makes a Willpower Check! (130)

Olivar:*He thinks to Hanz [Dpm

Hanz:Hanz shakes Olivar's hand saying

"Thanks."

Olivar:He thinks to Hanz, [Don't react to what I'm saying. You were right. I am a spy. I was hired by a chick named Crescent. She works for the New Emperor, whoever the hell that is. I was told to track you, the robot with me was my communication. I was more or less threatened into this job. Forgive me. Whatever you do, do not react.]

• Solstice

"Good luck."

Hanz:"Yea, thanks. You too."

Upon letting go of Olivar's hand Hanz goes back into the room he just walked out of and shuts the door

R4-K8:"Olivar = Finished?"

Olivar:"Yeah. Let's go."

R4-K8:"Olivar = follow R4."

With that, R4 exits the ship and starts rolling down the street

Talz:"Your friend seems very demanding, Goss."

Olivar:He nods "If our name wasn't oil, Talz."

He follows

Talz:"Goss, I'm getting a short circuit with all of this."

Talz tails Olivar

They find the planet to be filled with mostly humans with very little diversity

Olivar:He looks around for a place to eat

"We can handle ourselves, ain't that right, Kaite?"

R4-K8:"Olivar = can // Talz = can't"

Olivar:"Another gun is another gun."

R4-K8:R4 stops and looks back towards the way they have been walking and beeps

"Something = wrong."

Talz:"What is it saying, Goss?"

Olivar:"what =? problem."

"Something's afoot, Talz." He says after beeping at the robot

Talz:"Men = guns // Men = outside the ship // Gun Men = only there"

R4-K8:"Men = guns // Men = outside the ship // Gun Men = only there"*

Olivar:"...ship? What ship? The only ship we should be discussing is the one I'm going to get.

"

Talz:"It's only been a few minutes but we seem to have come a long way, Goss."

Talz says looking back the way they came as they can no longer see Isa and Hanz's ship

R4-K8:"Isa = bounty // Bounty = hunters // Gun men = bounty hunters"

Olivar:"Wha- she had a bounty?!"

"I mean...yeah, that makes...a lot of sense."

R4-K8:"Bounty = 10,000,000"

Olivar:He shrugs "Well, not my problem anymore."

He seems stunned by this, but then just shakes his head "I'm taking a sabbatical. It's weird, but not my problem. I just want to get my ship."

R4-K8:R4 turns and continues rolling

Olivar:He takes a hop and a skip into a restaurant, taking a seat in the farthest corner

Talz:Seeing Olivar head into a store, Talz joins him

R4-K8:R4 stops mid street and looks back to Olivar as he heads into a restaurant, waiting in place for his return

Olivar:He ushers R4 in "I need you to make a call."

Talz:Taking a seat next to Olivar, R4 joins as well just before the table lights up with a holographic waiter asking for their order

"Oh, spark, they always ask too quickly for me."

Olivar:"The local variety of eggs and some toast."

R4-K8:Taking the order, the hologram turns off as R4 sits beside Olivar's chair

"Who = call?"

Olivar:"Solstice."

Solstice:Within just a few seconds, a mini hologram of Solstice appears on the table

"What?"

Olivar:"Job's done."

Solstice:"... Okay?"

"Do you not like the ship?"

Olivar:"I don't know where it is."

Solstice:"Follow R4."

"He'll take you to it."

Olivar:He nods slowly, thinking "Alrighty."

Solstice:"Is that all?"

Olivar:"Yeah, I just didn't know how this was going to go down."

Solstice:With an annoyed expression, the hologram turns off just as a plate sized hole in the table opens bringing up Olivar's breakfast

Olivar:He sniffs the air and digs in

After finishing, he stands "Well, let's be on our way."

R4-K8:After finishing up his food and leaving whatever the food was worth, Olivar finds a crowd starting to form around the edges of the street, staring down to a lower level

Olivar:He walks over

"What's going on here?"

R4-K8:"Olivar = follow // K8 = lead"

R4 starts heading out

Hanz:Olivar finds that on the lower level, Isa and Hanz's ship has crashed and exploded, killing a few people and injuring a few more as droids try to put out the fire around it

Olivar:"Well, geez." He looks to K8 "...who the hell dive bombed it?"

R4-K8:"K8 = doesn't know"

Olivar:"Wanna go check it out real quick?"

R4-K8:"K8 = no."

Olivar:"...why not?"

R4-K8:"K8 = want to leave."

Olivar:"Well, damn. Fine." He lets K8 continue leaving the way

R4-K8:R4 leads Olivar and Talz to a hanger where they find a nice looking ship with no one around, R4 looks back to Olivar and beeps

"Ship = payment."

"Solstice = new mission."

Olivar:He gives Talz a high five "Hell ye-...new mission?"

"I told you, I'm taking a break."

Talz:Talz high fives him back

Olivar:"No offense, but I'm wore out on some galactic adventures."

R4-K8:"K8 = final mission // Final mission = freedom // K8 = wants free"

Olivar:"What's this mission?"

R4-K8:"Mission = bounty"

Olivar:"On who?"

R4-K8:"Solstice = explain // Solstice = on ship"

Olivar:"Oh man."

He hops on

Unknown:As Olivar goes to get on board he hears a man yell

"SOLSTICE!"

from outside

Olivar:"...ʷᵉˡˡ ˢʰᶦᵗ..." He turns around

Isadelnubo:As he turns around, Olivar sees a green man standing in the entry way of the hanger with four battle droids behind him

"SOLSTICE COME OUT HERE!"

Olivar:"Uh...how's it going?"

He kicks R4, and then nods his head to the inside of the ship

Isadelnubo:"You, Solstice's lacky!"

Olivar:"..."

R4-K8:R4 rolls into the ship as Talz has already went inside

Isadelnubo:"You tell her to come out here!"

Olivar:He takes a step forward "...can you repeat that?"

Isadelnubo:The green man along with the droids start walking towards Olivar

"Leats wants her and her boss dead! If you want to live you do best to join me!"

R4-K8:As he says this, the ship begins to lift as the ramp begins to close with Olivar still on it

Isadelnubo:Seeing the ship start to set off the droids begin to fire as the green man unsheathes his sword and begins jumping fairly high onto the buildings and any possible thing that can help him get closer to the ship, higher than the average human

"SOLSTICE!"

Olivar:He sticks out his hand

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (96)

Isadelnubo:Toughs it Out! (47)

As he gets closer his sword yanks him another way, causing his momentum to stop, making him no longer able to get to the ship before falling back to the ground, staring at Olivar with hatred

Olivar:He waves, stepping back in the ship

"Was that one of the gun men?"

R4-K8:The ramp finally closes as the ship is now high enough to be safe from most threats. Stepping in the ship, Olivar finds Talz on his back, having fallen and R4 in front of him

"Gun men = no // Green man = Isadelnubo"

"Isadelnubo = enemy"

Olivar:"What does he want?"

R4-K8:"Isadelnubo = Solstice"

Olivar:"Oh, yeah...he said that Lord Leat wants her dead, but doesn't she...work for him?"

R4-K8:"Leat = unknown"

"Solstice = answers"

Olivar:He stars walking to the cabin

• the cockpit

R4-K8:Getting to the cockpit, Olivar finds the ship to be piloting itself

"Ship = auto pilot"

"K8 = destination"

Olivar:He starts searching the ship "I thought you said she'd be here."

R4-K8:"Solstice = hologram"

Olivar:"So you lied to me?!"

R4-K8:"K8 = no"

Olivar:He scratches his head "Guess I...just misunderstood."

R4-K8:"Olivar = accept second mission?"

Olivar:"I need to know who the bounty's on first."

R4-K8:"K8 = doesn't know"

"K8 = contact Solstice?"

Olivar:He takes a seat "Go ahead."

R4-K8:"Olivar = yes sir"

A few minutes goes by with no response

Talz:Talz finally manages to get to his feet after wrestling with the ground and walks over to the group

"What's happening, Goss?"

Olivar:"Don't know."

He looks to K8 "What's the hold up?"

R4-K8:"Solstice = not answering"

Olivar:"...well, I guess I get that sabbatical. Where are we heading?"

R4-K8:"Ship = space // K8 = change coordinates?"

Olivar:"How much gas do we got?"

R4-K8:"Fuel - full"

Olivar:"Ring her again."

R4-K8:Suddenly a hologram appears on the table in front of the group and Solstice appears

Olivar:He jumps

"Geez."

Solstice:"Well?"

Olivar:"...who's the bounty for?"

Solstice:"Before I give you any details you should know he's a forceful."

Olivar:"That...doesn't help me decide."

Solstice:"If you think you can handle it, I will continue, if not you may go about your life, dropping R4 off on Bacrana."

Olivar:"What I want to know is why is Lord Leat after you?"

"I just got attacked by a green dude who thought you were on this ship."

Solstice:"Did he have battle droids with him?"

"Carry a sword?"

Olivar:"Yes."

Solstice:"That damn hilbret! I don't know what he's doing in the inner rim, I apologize for your trouble."

Olivar:"Isn't Lord Leat the guy who wants to be the Emperor? And did you say you worked for him?"

Solstice:"They're having family problems."

"I used to work for his uncle, until my lord was exiled. I, along with a few others, choose to join him instead of working for the vile man we had been."

Olivar:"...who was that?"

Solstice:"Well, I did say family."

"So they're both leats"

"We weren't high enough in his ranks to know his first name."

"And I'm not telling my lord's name."

Olivar:"...alright."

Solstice:"Now, are you willing to fight a forceful or not?"

Olivar:He sighs "Are you tracking this ship?"

Solstice:"I'm tracking my droid."

Olivar:He nods "What's the pay?"

Solstice:"That depends. If you bring him back dead, five hundred creds. If you bring him back alive, one thousand creds."

"It's so low for a forceful because we don't actually know if he is one."

Olivar:"What the hell does that mean?"

"How do you not know?"

Solstice:"Our source is a mole who claims to have heard a lightsaber."

"So we don't have evidence, just hear say."

"But we're still willing to pay even if he isn't. If he turns out to be a forceful, the pay for him dead stays the same, if you can bring him to us alive the pay will be five thousand creds."

Olivar:"I got paid five thousand creds for your run of the mill serial killer."

"I would expect a forceful to be a little more."

Solstice:"Ten."

Olivar:"That's more reasonable."

Solstice:"He was last seen on Orvax along with a small creature we believe to be a jawa, nasty little critters from tatooine that are about three feet, have a love, hate relationship with droids. Your target's name and face are unknown however similar to his jawa friend he wears a brown hood. His ship is a white piece of junk with a yellow stripe."

Olivar:"How do I know where to find him?"

Solstice:"Go to Orvax and ask around. This happened just yesterday so people will probably remember a pair that look like them, although a riot did happen just before our mole claims to have heard the lightsaber, so not too many people might have been around."

"Just do what you normally do to find people."

Olivar:"Anyway I can contact this mole?"

Solstice:"The ship is fast enough to probably make it to the planet in two days. I'll have him waiting at hanger twenty three, it's the one he claims to have seen the target's ship at, as good of a place as any to search for clues."

Olivar:"...I'll take it."

"One question; what'd they do?"

Solstice:"We take in forcefuls."

"Either they join us in creating a new galaxy, or they die."

"Once you find the target you can tell them that if you want."

Olivar:"Uh huh..." He stands, about to walks away, but looks as if he came to a realization

"...Yeah...I'll take it."

R4-K8:The hologram turns off as R4 looks to Olivar

"Olivar = thank you"

Talz:During the conversation, Talz fell asleep and is standing beside the table with his lids closed

Olivar:He takes a seat in the cabin, closing out K8, and finally takes off his helmet, rubbing his face

PAGE 11: Drexel pt.2 // START

Unknown:Waking up in a room of broken, moldy wooden floor, Duga gets a strong feeling of disgust as his last memory was being swallowed

Duga:He first feels around for his saber

Unknown:Duga can't seem to find it and as he looks around he finds a orange humanoid alien sitting in one of the corners staring at him, breathing heavily through his mouth

"I've been waiting for you to wake up."

Duga:He struggles to his feet, simply looking at the creature

Unknown:The alien seems to only have one eye with slime dripping from his pale red body

"I fixed up your wounds."

Duga:"Why?"

Unknown:"Seems like you got into a fight with one of those Mials.'

"So you wouldn't die."

Duga:He looks around, taking in his surroundings "How am I to repay this debt?"

Unknown:"You can feed me."

"Normally Ursala only brings me fish and other aquatic beings."

Duga:"And what happened to this Ursala?"

Unknown:"I hope nothing. Without her I can't survive."

"Do you like my home?"

The alien looks to the damp wooden shack the two find themselves in, darkness covers the room with no windows or openings

Duga:"No, but I will repay you nonetheless."

Unknown:"Yes, you will!"

The alien quickly jumps up, as the room is filled with a red light and a humming sound as the alien brings out Duga's lightsaber

Duga:He looks at the alien

Unknown:Attacks! (-2)

Duga:He doesn't move

He reaches out, pulling the saber back to him

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (86)

Unknown:However as the alien goes to swing the saber down on Duga, it isn't used to the weapon's weight and winds up slicing it's arm off, dropping the saber causing it to turn off before flying back to Duga

"AH!"

Duga:Does (45) Damage!

Unknown:"The creature screams in agony as it falls to it's back kicking and holding it's stump*

Duga:"Why would you save me simply to attack me?" He puts the saber away

Unknown:Toughs it Out! (98)

Starting to calm down as it sees that the burning is gone and the wound isn't bleeding, the alien looks to Duga saying with a snarl

"I like my food living."

Duga:"Then I could have gone to be your servant while I repaid my debt. Now, you are even weaker than before."

Unknown:"You were on the verge of death when I found you. If you're saved by the weak then who is weaker?"

Duga:He nods "Exactly my point. You proved your strength in using such a beast where I was devoured. Now you don't play to your strength and will be the one devoured." He pulls out his saber again

Unknown:The creature struggles to get to his feet before jumping towards Duga

Attacks! (107)

Duga:He goes to sidestep

Defends! (92)

Unknown:Does (5) Damage!

The creature manages to hit Duga, opening one of his stitches

Duga:He twitches "Your death throws are pathetic." He swipes at the creature's other arm

Attacks! (134)

Unknown:Defends! (102)

Duga:Does (68) Damage!

Unknown:"AH!"

The creature stumbles back and continues screaming as his other arm is thrown to the ground, now detached from his body

Toughs it Out! (102)

The alien once again jumps at Duga, this time trying to dig his teeth into him

Attacks! (110)

Duga:He does not want bit

Defends! (66)

Unknown:Does (5) Damage!

The alien, after taking a bite out of Duga is forced to take a step back as he starts chewing on the flesh he has taken out of Duga

Duga:He growls "Enjoy it while you can." He glances for a door

He reaches a hand out and goes to sling the door at the alien

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (82)

omit*

He tries to rip the door of its hinges *

Perceives! (87)

Unknown:As Duga looks outside the box he awoke in he finds himself to be on a beaten up boat that was swallowed by the monster that ate him as he is now in the belly of the beast, literally

Makes a Thievery Check! (121)

While looking out to the creature, the alien jumps on Duga's back, taking another bite out of him

Attacks! (66)

Duga:He ducks

Defends! (100)

Unknown:The alien is launched passed Duga and into some of the stomach acids, quickly sinking with no arms to hold him up and blinded by the acid

Duga:He puts up his saber and looks at the creature for a moment before trying to take in his new surroundings

Unknown:Duga finds himself in a small area of death, with his saber being the only source of light as the creature's acids appear to be yellow, steaming, and dense. With a small bit of agility, he sees that he can make it to the walls of the beast

Duga:He concentrates a bit, drawing upon the force to help him make his way to the walls

Duga Uses Force Speed!

Duga:Makes a Dexterity Check! (54)

Unknown:Duga makes it to the wall without being devoured by the acid

Duga:He hopes that the force decides that the dragon isn't kilometers below water as he attempts to slash his way out

Unknown:Upon cutting the belly open Duga is hit with the smell of salt and and freshness as he is suddenly forced out of the stomach and onto a dock area along with the rest of the immediate things around him which included a broken box, some stomach acids, a decaying fish, and another Mial

Human:A couple of humans look to him bewildered as they had captured and killed the beast he just sliced his way out of, something that was not a common sight as one walks up to him saying something in a questioning manor however Duga is aware of the language the man speaks

"Alijo? Ko? Kepiola?"

As the man talks another begins to vomit from the smell of the toxic gases and decay that erupt from the beast's stomach

unaware*

Duga:He pants, hiding his saber "Basi-basic."

Human:"Ba-sik?" Ha. Ha, gi ta lopru."

Duga:He looks to the man, straightening up "Well, this is going to be interesting."

Human:Duga, while straightening is finally able to see again, his eyes adjusting to the sudden change in brightness as it is mid day, finds himself on a town made of boats, some larger, some smaller, with the one in the middle of the town towering well over twenty feet

One of the men on the deck Duga finds himself on faints

The man who was talking to Duga rushes over to the fainted man along with another and begin to talk among each other, sounding frantic

on, faints*

Duga:He wipes his face a bit, scowling as he starts walking down the dock area

Human:With the entire town being humans, Duga finds the ships and boats that make up this floating town/city to be made of varying materials along with their varying shapes and sizes. after almost every building is a ally that leads to another section of the boat haven he finds himself on. While he has been to busier places he can be surprised at how much is happening in this community on water as kids play down the streets, men laughing as they fish, women talking in groups as they do the little bit of laundry they have, elderly sitting in chairs watching as this strange alien walks past their homes.

The sounds of a strange language, laughter, creeks, and most notable the waves crashing against the boats that support the society fill his ears

an alley*

Duga:He looks around for any indications of something like a tavern

Human:It doesn't take Duga long to spot a entry with a sign above with the image of a man sitting at a table taking a drink from a cup, which is pretty much universal for pub

Duga:He makes a bee line

Human:Upon getting in the buildings he finds it to be mostly empty with only the ocasional human, one drinking at the bar just beside the bartender who is writing something down on some paper, another is sleeping on a table in the back of the pub, a few others scattered about

Duga:He walks toward the bar "Speak basic?"

Human:The human looks up to him and holds up a finger before opening a door on the other side of the pub and saying something, returning and nodding towards the door

Duga:He nods back and starts for the door, one hand on his saber under his tattered robes

Human:As Duga walks to the open door he finds it to lead into a hall way that curves to the left with the smell of cinnamon seeping out of the room, Duga sees the place the hallway curves to has a candle lit in it

Duga:He stops for a second, using his free hand to hold the bite wound. After applying pressure, he continues down the hall

Narrator:As he steps down the hall, the door shuts behind him as the smell of iron begins to engulf the room just before a feminine voice calls out

Unknown:"Who are you?:"

Duga:"A traveler. And you?"

Unknown:"Do you not speak Laopkonias?"

Duga:"I am lacking in that expertise."

Unknown:"How did you happen upon here?"

Duga:"The sign."

Unknown:"I mean the planet."

Duga:He lowers his hand from his wound "A traveler travels. Certain rumors might have drawn me here."

Unknown:Now past the curve in the hallway, Duga stares at a wall while the female continues

"Are you a treat to my people?"

voice*

Duga:He places a hand against the wall "Perhaps to the beasts of the sea, but I am no morsel for the people of this habitat."

Unknown:After saying this, the wall Duga touches is cracked with a outline of a door as it slowly presses inward revealing a hidden room

Edove:He finds the room to be full of books, fruits, and clothes scattered about as a woman walks out of a closet in the room, shutting it behind her. Making no attempt to cover the light saber hilt on her waist

"I am Edove, queen of the Eol."

"Welcome, to my home, traveler."

Duga:"Queen is a high tittle, even on such a planet as this." He bows his head slightly "I am Duga Mora."

Edove:"No need for those formalities. Queen is simply a title bestowed on me by the people that call this place home, something I've come to do as well."

Duga:"And was this title given or taken?"

Edove:She says, walking across the room, kicking an arm that before she did so blended in with the floor, out of her way before sitting down at a table that held a odd looking skull

"A little bit of both."

"Some love me, some fear me, some even hate me, but all know that without me, their home would have been destroyed several years ago."

Duga:"So you are a...protector?"

Edove:"Of sorts."

She says, darting her eyes from Duga to the seat across from her and back Duga

"Have a seat, it's been such a long time since I was able to speak to someone in my home tongue."

Duga:He removes his hood before taking a seat "I take it you did not come here by choice?"

Edove:"My ship crashed here.. Almost seven years ago."

"I've had many chances to leave but every time I try I find myself drawn back for one reason or another."

"Eventually I accepted this place as my home, it's rather peaceful and.."

Glancing to the arm she moved before making her way to the seat, continues

"being queen comes with it's benefits."

Duga:He looks at the arm, then back to her "Hopefully not too...sedentary for one of your nature, I hope."

Edove:"Depends on the day."

"But enough about me. I'm more interested in you. Tell me, what is your story, Duga Mora?"

Duga:"I came in search of one who might share my philosophy. I feel that I may have come in vain, however."

Edove:"What is your philosophy mister Zabrak?"

Duga:"An old one. One tarnished after millennia of failures."

Edove:"Well that's awfully ominous."

"Any detail you can share about this?"

Duga:"I'm sure you can guess. Given the rumors about you, I'd think you'd know all too well."

Edove:Sighing, she looks up to the ceiling saying

"I always hated these little round about games, just say what you're saying. Are you some sort of bounty hunter? Apart of the Elero? Elero hasn't really been around for a millennia and I doubt any good bounty hunter would come to me in as bad a condition as you."

"So what is it? Are you talking about the towns I destroyed? The prison I escaped from, the people I've killed, the ways of the force that I practice?"

Finishing her questions, she looks back down to Duga as she slouches in her seat, getting more comfortable

Duga:"All of it and none of it. Little matters about what you've done, but why. I am Sith."

"What are you?"

Edove:"Sith?"

She stares at Duga blankly for a moment before saying

"You mean the empire?"

"The one that took over the galaxy some three hundred years ago?"

Duga:He shakes his head "No. I've found much older teachings. Incomplete though they may be, they are Sith. I search for others of my kind and for more of these teachings."

Edove:"Find anything?"

Duga:"Little. Much was lost and much more was hidden. This is why I've begun to focus on believers rather than artifacts. More hands means more everything. For good or ill."

Edove:"And after you heard about my battle with the Pous, came running thinking I might have some of your lost information?"

Duga:"I came seeking an ally. One that wouldn't attempt to induct me into their cult or army like most of the others that call themselves Sith these days."

Edove:"You're in luck there, I have no cult or army."

"Well, I guess from a point of view I have a cult, but you won't have to worry, I'm not going to nag you."

"Just ask that you do nothing to cause harm to my people."

Duga:He sighs "If they are weak and try to test their mettle, I shall not be responsible for that. Otherwise, I'll be off of this planet as soon as possible. I believe I have found the answers to my questions. Some of them, anyhow."

Edove:"In that case, I have one last question before you can leave, unless you have other things you wish to speak about."

"You're studying forcefuls and what you call sith, does that mean that you too, are a forceful?"

Duga:He chuckles "The force is everywhere. So is strength. One simply needs the strength to overcome the destiny the force subjects us to." He stands, putting on his hood

Edove:"Fine, do your word games, but give me a straight answer on this. Can you use a lightsaber?"

Duga:"That I can."

Edove:With a smile, Edove stands as well, seeing Duga out

Narrator:Vek and Qotaro are awoken by the sound of R3 screaming along with the sound of a electric zap and some metal clinking

Vek:He jumps up, grabbing his new saber, as he runs toward the noise "WHAT'S GOING ON!?"

Qotaro:He rushes with Vek, his gun out

Buroal:Running into the room, Vek finds Buroal standing over R3 with a wrench, about to swing before he stopped, looking back to Vek when hearing him yell. R3 has a little mechanical arm out, zapping at Buroal's legs as Bait lays on the ground, with his circuits ripped out of the back of his head which has been yanked off his body, bending the bolts as they also lay scattered on the ground around them

"Uh.. Hi..."

In the back they can see the ship is headed straight for a building, about to crash

R3-I7:"Owner = help // Buroal = crazy"

Qotaro:"GAAHH!" He rushes for the ships controls

Vek:He turns on the saber, pointing it at Buroal "Step away from the droids."

Buroal:"You don't understand, they attacked me!"

"R3, it's a fucking spy!"

R3-I7:"Buroal = lying"

Buroal:"I woke up and saw him talking to Bait!"

Qotaro:He runs up to the sip, and watches them plummet, "Gaaah! Batcha ga!" He said, as he had no idea what he was doing, but he then tried to bring the ship back under control

Perceives! (41)

Vek:He looks at R3

Buroal:Qotaro is doing his best to guide the ship another way however finds it to be a little harder than he thought, managing to only turn the ship a couple of inches, however it's still heading for the building, getting closer and closer. As Vek looks to R3 it calls out

"R3 = charging // Bait = plugging up"

R3-I7:Qotaro is doing his best to guide the ship another way however finds it to be a little harder than he thought, managing to only turn the ship a couple of inches, however it's still heading for the building, getting closer and closer. As Vek looks to R3 it calls out

"R3 = charging // Bait = plugging up"*

Qotaro:"Gaaaahh! NO!" He said, as he then used his Wrench to take a hold of the ship's controls, and pull back

Perceives! (55)

Buroal:"No, I heard them, they were telling the Elero where we were heading, they're trying to get the bounty on me!"

Vek:"I...really doubt that."

He looks him over regretfully "I can't imagine you having that significant of a bounty."

R3-I7:Qotaro manages to get the ship to move over just a little bit more, no longer in life threatening danger but if he isn't able to move it soon the ship will be destroyed and they don't have the money to fix it or buy a new one

"Buroal's Bounty = 10,000"

Vek:"W-"

"What the fuck did you do?"

Qotaro:"NOOOO!"

He gives one good yank on it

Perceives! (112)

Buroal:"I told you they're hunting me!"

Vek:"Listen, my droids aren't spies!"

Buroal:Finally able to move the ship, the Ural just barley misses the building as the stress on Qotaro lowers along with it a sense of joy comes over him as he has just discovered how to pilot the ship

"Then you're working with them!"

Buroal goes to throw R3 at Vek and run for the ramp

Makes a Strength Check! (88)

Vek:"You're gonna kill yourself, you dumbass!" He tries to sidestep the thrown R3 and run for Buroal

Defends! (129)

Buroal:Makes a Dexterity Check! (60)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (73)

Qotaro:"Haha! Gatcha ba! Winner winner!" He said, pumping one hand in the air, while piloting the ship

Buroal:The droid is tossed pass Vek and hits the wall of the ship, falling to the ground, beeping in distress, while Vek catches up to Buroal just after pressing the button to lower the ramp, getting ready to jump

"NO!"

Vek:He goes to grab him and toss him back away from the ramp "I didn't know you could fly!"

Makes a Strength Check! (134)

Buroal:Makes a Strength Check! (125)

Buroal is thrown back into the ship and on his back

"It's better to try than be captured by your boss!"

Vek:"I don't have a fucking boss, you moron!" He goes to push the button to raise the ramp

Buroal:The ramp raises, however as it does, Buroal goes to tackle Vek and cause both of them to fly out of the ship

Attacks! (93)

Vek:Defends! (104)

Qotaro:"Gabba! Gabba! Look, gatcha!" He said, pointing out at the windshield, as he turned back for a brief moment, looking at them, before blinking, caught off guard

Buroal:Qotaro can see the air is full of ships flying past, one landing at a port on the ground with a open space next to it. Upon looking back to Vek and Buroal, Qotaro finds Buroal on the ground with Vek standing near him as Buroal yells

"No!"

Qotaro:"... Gatcha." He said, before turning back around, trying to get off the planet

Buroal:The man stands and goes to swing at Vek as Qotaro guides the ship to space

"I can't!"

Attacks! (31)

Vek:Defends! (79)

He punches at him

Makes a Dexterity Check! (106)

Buroal:Defends! (2)

Vek:Does (40) Damage!

Does (40) Damage!

Does (40) Damage!

Buroal:Buroal isn't ready for the power that is known as Vek as his jaw his broken, ear drum is ruptured and a tooth falls out

Toughs it Out! (47)

He hits the ground along with his fallen tooth

Vek:He nudges his body with is foot "You out?"

Qotaro:"Game!" He said, as he threw his hand up in the air

Buroal:Buroal doesn't seem to be responding

Vek:He looks back to R3 and Qotaro "We're turning this sack of shit in."

Qotaro:He nods and gives a thumbs up, "Gatcha!" He then looks at Burols legs, and then hits his own hand and makes a cracking noise with his mouth

R3-I7:R3 is just now getting back to his rollers, using a couple of little arms that come out of his body from various places

"Buroal = crasy // Crasy = dangerous // Buroal = creds // creds = worth danger"

Crazy*

Vek:"Q, try to get us someplace to land so we can fix these guys up. R3, how do we turn him in?" He puts his saber up, now

R3-I7:"R3 = contact trooper // Bait = trooper friend"

"Bounty = placed by troopers"

"Bait = talk to trooper // Bait = needs fixing"

Vek:"Yea, I can see that...thanks, R3."

B8-G6:Vek can see Bait is pretty messed up

Qotaro:He nods, as he says, "Droid, map!" Trying to get R3 to pull up a map

"..." He shrugs and decides instead to go and drop by whatever planet they're at

He then stands up, grabs his wrench, and goes to get started working on B8

Vek:He restrains Buroal

B8-G6:Bait is in terrible condition and may take Qotaro some time

Qotaro:"Aaahh, gah..." He said, frustrated, deciding to try and get started now

R3-I7:R3 watches Vek restrain Buroal with some spare cords hanging from their slowly dying ship

It takes nearly an hour for Qotaro to fix Bait but even then Bait isn't in the same condition as he was when the Doir's finished him

Qotaro:"... Gah..." He said, shaking his head

Buroal:At this time, Boroal is also starting to come to in immense pain as he almost immediately begins to cry

Vek:"Shut your goddamn mouth."

Buroal:Sobs continue to come from him as drool drips from his mouth and tears run down his face

B8-G6:Bait looks to Qotaro and asks

"Oh, master.. What happened?"

One of Bait's eyes doesn't seem to be working

Qotaro:"Ahh, gabba." He said, pointing over at Buroal, as he then walked over to Buroal and put a finger on his chin

He then grabs a toothpick, and goes to force it under Buroal's fingernail

Vek:He looks to Bait "The sandy mother fucker you thought was trustworthy clocked your ass."

B8-G6:"BAU!!"

Buroal:"BAU!!"*

Qotaro:"Gatcha/

"Gatcha."*

(2)

He decides to leave Buroal alone after that

Vek:He looks back "Q, take it easy."

Qotaro:He nods, "Done."

B8-G6:"Oh.. I'm sorry, Master."

Vek:"Anyway, this pile of garbage is going to get us paid."

Buroal:Buroal continues to cry in pain as blood trickles down his hand

Qotaro:He sighs, and looks over B8, trying to see if he could fix more of the damage later, potentially

B8-G6:Bait begins to try and get up but has trouble has his legs don't seem to work

"Uh.. Master."

"I think there is something wrong."

Vek:"Really?"

Qotaro:"Aaah."

B8-G6:"I can't move my legs."

Qotaro can see the droid is missing a Hipomo

However besides that, most of everything is there

Qotaro:"Gaaah..." He said, considering trying to affix an axle and tires to B8's legs, before shrugging

Vek:"...Well, guess we're gonna have to carry you."

"R3, you can do that, right?"

B8-G6:"No, master. Please, I've already been enou- Oh.."

R3-I7:"Vek = no"

Vek:"Damn.."

B8-G6:"I believe he can, master Vek."

"He just has to try."

R3-I7:Some not so nice beeps come from R3

Vek:"What were you two talking about when Buroal found you?"

B8-G6:"Huh? Oh, R3 needed to be plugged into the ship for charging but his previous owner built over his charger so now it has to be plugged in by someone else."

"He was asking if I could do it."

R3-I7:"Bait = never asking for help again"

Buroal:"And I'll never offer it."

Vek:"Haven't you had enough?"

Qotaro:(2)

Buroal:Buroal says in a daze as he is somewhere between passing out and being awake

Qotaro:He still leaves him alone

Vek:"Anyway, bait, we need you to come with us to turn him in."

R3-I7:"Bait = contact trooper"

Vek:"Wait, he can do that?"

R3-I7:"R3 = call trooper radio // Bait = talk"

B8-G6:"Oh, I didn't know he had a bounty on him, master."

Vek:"...Yea, a big one, too. So you two get that going. Q, make sure the ships still holding up."

Qotaro:He nods, going to make sure the ship was fine

B8-G6:R3 rolls into the main room of the ship and raises an antina from his head, starting to try and contact the troopers as Bait crawls over next to him

"Master Vek. I'm sorry to bother you more, but do you mind sitting me in the chair?"

Vek:He nods and goes to set him in the chair

Narrator:Qotaro finds that the ship is completely fine with the exception of a missing Irao, something that isn't necessary to fly but was there the last time he checked the ship

Qotaro:"..." He blinked, hardly even remembering what there was, "Wah..." he began to look for it then

Perceives! (139)

Narrator:Qotaro finds it along with several other things they didn't even know were missing or on the ship, including a half eaten sandwich, a dead mouse, some dirty holotapes, a orange crysal, a patch of hair, Bait's hipomo, and a weird flashing puck looking thing that is stuck under in one of the open walls in the ship

stuck in*

patch of fur*

Qotaro:"Oooh..." He said, as he grabbed it and went to put it back into place, and drag Bai's hipomo out, and then check out the puck

Bait's*

Narrator:The puck has has a small light in the middle of it that is flashing red and white

Qotaro:"Gabba! Gabba!" He said, trying to wave Vek over

Vek:He walks over "What?"

Qotaro:"Look." He said, pointing at the puck

Vek:He goes to pick it up

Narrator:The puck is about half the size of Vek's hand and doesn't seem to be anything besides a blinking circle

Neither Vek or Qotaro have any idea as to what this is

Vek:He walks back to the droids

R3-I7:"R3 = connected"

Stormtrooper:Suddenly on the table appears a small hologram of a storm trooper who asks

"What? Who is this?"

"You aren't red Geonosis!"

B8-G6:"Oh, hello"

Stormtrooper:"A droid?"

"What are you doing? Why did you join this station?"

B8-G6:"I have a being here that as I understand you want."

Stormtrooper:"No you don't."

B8-G6:"... Um.. You don't have a bounty on a over weight human male that goes by the name Buroal?"

Stormtrooper:"No."

B8-G6:"Oh.. Sorry to interrupt you."

Stormtrooper:The trooper stands there as an awkward silence fills the room

Vek:"...."

B8-G6:Bait looks to Vek

Vek:He shrugs "Hang up."

Stormtrooper:"Wait a second."

The trooper leaves the hologram for a moment before coming back saying

"Okay, my mistake, yes, he is a man we are looking for."

"I misread, I thought it said near human."

"Alright, where are you?"

"We will come and get him and give you the bounty."

Stormtrooper:reward*

Vek:He goes to say the port number for the next ship over

Stormtrooper:"Yea, we have some troopers stationed there, give them about thirty minutes and they'll come to your ship."

"Their names are Jalj and Mairc."

Vek:"Alright."

B8-G6:"Oh, Maric was the one I talked to back on Socorro."

Stormtrooper:With that the hologram closes

R3-I7:"Troopers = untrustworthy"

Vek:"No shit.."

B8-G6:"Don't worry, master. Mairc can be trusted."

Vek:"Either way, there's a reason I gave them the wrong ship."

B8-G6:"I don't know about his partner though, he said she wasn't a very nice or.. really he had nothing good to say about her."

Vek:"We need to Buroal over there before they get there, thoug- her?"

Unknown:A knock comes from the ship's ramp

Vek:"....."

B8-G6:"Yes sir. Her."

Vek:"One second, Bait."

"We're coming back to that."

B8-G6:"Jalj is a fe- Oh, yes, master."

R3-I7:"Time = hasn't been thirty minutes"

Qotaro:He nods, "Yes. Not thirty."

"Take off?" He said, asking curiously, pointing at the ship controls

Vek:"No, no.."

"Q, want to sneak out there and see who it is?"

"...Just don't attack anybody."

Qotaro:"..." He thinks, and nods

Vek:He walks up to the ramp to stall from time, as he says, through it "Yes? Who is it?"

Qotaro:He goes to look for an alternate way off to get a look

He then goes to climb down the garbage shoot

Unknown:From the other side Vek can hear the voice of a child say

"I'm looking for a ride."

Qotaro is able to climb out and make his way around the ship without anyone noticing.

Qotaro:He crouches and starts slowly walking around to see who is there

Perceives! (122)

Unknown:Makes a Thievery Check! (78)

Qotaro can hear footsteps getting closer from behind

Qotaro:He quickly turns around and draws his blaster, freaked out

Stormtrooper:Upon turning around Qotaro finds the person behind him was a stormtrooper who quickly holds out his hands, showing he has no weapons and surrenders

"Hey, whoa whoa little fella, I was just coming over to say hi."

Qotaro:"... Batcha..." He said, lowering his rifle so he wasn't pointing it at him anymore

Stormtrooper:"I didn't know rather or not you would recognize me. My armor kind of looks like everyone else's."

The trooper says bending down

"So, what are you doing, you seemed like you were being quiet for a reason"

Qotaro:He blinks, confused, "Uuuh... gabba ga... no batcha. My gatcha no garba. Gah?"

Vek:"....How old are you, kid?"

Stormtrooper:"I have no idea what you just said."

Unknown:"Private."

Vek:"You alone?"

Qotaro:"Utinni!"

"Danger."

Stormtrooper:"Oh, danger.. Alright little buddy, go on, I'm right behind you."

Qotaro:"... Gabba." He said, blinking, walking ahead but listening intently behind him, "Gah..." He said, quietely

quietly*

Makes a Thievery Check! (107)

Unknown:Perceives! (82)

"Yes."

Qotaro finally making it around the ship enough to see the being at the door finds it to be a zabrakian child, no older than eleven talking through the door to Vek. Neither Qotaro or the trooper can see anyone else around paying any mind to them or the child

Qotaro:"Child. Hmm..." He said, as he said, "No danger. Maybe. Gabba ga."

Stormtrooper:"Wait a second, I know that kid."

"That little bastard attacked me earlier."

Qotaro:"... Gabba?"

Stormtrooper:"He came up to my ship and when I opened the door he kicked me in the chest and ran."

Qotaro:"Oh."

"Shoot him."

He began to back away after that

Stormtrooper:[1d2]

[r1d2]

1

The stormtrooper drops to a knee and fires at him

Shoots! (133)

Qotaro:He's out of there

Unknown:Defends! (107)

Stormtrooper:Does (40) Damage!

"You son of a bitch!"

Vek:He jumps back "What the hell!?"

Qotaro:He goes to climb back into the ship

Unknown:Getting hit by the blaster the child looks to the trooper before falling back on his ass as he starts to breath heavily freaking out

Vek:He goes to open the ramp, fearing for the safety of the child

Stormtrooper:"Doesn't feel good to be hit unexpectedly does it?"

Vek opens the ramp to see the stormtrooper walking towards the child with his blaster raised

Vek:"Hey! Hey!"

Unknown:With the trooper looking back to Vek as he says this, the kids sees his chance and makes a run for it on the ship

Stormtrooper:"Nope!"

Shoots! (127)

Qotaro:He goes into the ship and blinks, not sure what to do, "Aahh, gabba..."

Unknown:Qotaro crawls back into the ship, as he does he sees the child standing in a corner of the chip, holding the wound with tears coming down his eyes

Defends! (15)

Stormtrooper:Does (40) Damage!

Qotaro:"Oh, uh.... gabba ga."

Stormtrooper:The trooper takes out a ball and presses the top of it before going to throw it in the ship

"I've seen the way you jump, you're not getting away from me this time!"

Shoots! (108)

Qotaro:"NO!"

Unknown:The child freezes in fear as he sees the ball fly towards him

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek:He rolls and jumps to grab the grenade

Makes a Dexterity Check! (132)

Unknown:Vek is able to grab the grenade while doing his mid air roll

Vek:He chucks hit back

Stormtrooper:"What the fu-"

Vek:Shoots! (2)

Qotaro:"NO!" He yelled, going to run up and football kick it away

Shoots! (53)

Stormtrooper:Defends! (41)

The grenade explodes just outside of the ship, blowing the ramp up along with the Stormtrooper

Qotaro:"... Gah..."

Vek:"What...."

Unknown:After the explosion, the child jumps towards the window before turning on a lightsaber to bust the window

Vek:"Th- FUCK!"

"GET BACK HERE!"

He runs for the kid

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (16)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (66)

Tyzen:It takes almost no time for Vek to catch up to the kid who stands there, saber held and on as he stares at him

"Jet let me go!"

Qotaro:"That's no good..." he said, looking over the ramp

Tyzen:A hole in his leg from the blaster

Vek:He pulls his own saber out "You're going to tell me what the fuck just happened, right now."

Tyzen:"I just want to see my mom!"

Qotaro:He walks over to the storm trooper to see if he's still alive

Vek:"Then calm down and let's talk this through, kid."

Stormtrooper:The only part that isn't burning or blown apart is the trooper's head, he's dead.

Tyzen:".. Fine."

Qotaro:"Oh." He said, walking back into the ship

Vek:He puts his saber up and holds onto his head "Well, we're really up shit's creek now.."

"Alright, Q, we need to get Buroal over there, pronto. We're going to need that money to fix the ship."

Tyzen:After Vek turns his saber off the kid does so, following Vek back, making sure to keep his distance

Qotaro:He nods, "Gatcha." As he went to start getting Buroal ready, before thinking back to the puck, "Puck?" As he looked back over at him

Buroal:Toughs it Out! (13)

A piece of the ramp flew back and hit Buroal in the head, breaking his neck

Qotaro:"..."

"G-... G-G... Ga..."

He drops to his knees, looks to the sky, and screams, "GAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Vek:"....."

Tyzen:"I'm sorry, I just wanted to leave."

Vek:"So do we."

Qotaro:He sighs, "Gah... gah... gabba."

Tyzen:It's not until now that they see the rest of the port is staring at them after the explosion

"I think you guys should go. They'll be coming back."

Vek:"You guys? Nu uh, you're coming with us, kid."

Tyzen:"No, I've already blown up your ship and had you kill a trooper, I'll only cause you more trouble."

Qotaro:He walks out to the ramp, and starts angrily pumping his fist, "Get! Get! Gabba, get! Shoo! Shoo!"

Vek:"That's exactly why you're coming with us -- you've done too much to just walk away."

"You're gonna help us make some money, we'll fix our ship, and we'll take you to your mom."

Tyzen:The crowd begins to disburse going back to what they were doing as the kid says

"What? You'll take me?"

"Why?"

Vek:"I dunno. Just got a feeling."

Tyzen:A smile comes over the child's face before saying

"Thank you! My name's Tyzen."

B8-G6:Bait finally sits up from the fall he took with the explosion

"Master... I think something went wrong."

Vek:"Really!?"

"I hadn't noticed, bait!"

"You're fucking buddy fucked our ship!"

B8-G6:"R3?"

R3-I7:R3 beeps as it tries to get up as well

Vek:"...No, a trigger happy storm trooper threw a grenade on board."

B8-G6:"Oh.. Well I don't know any trigger happy stormtroopers, master."

Vek:"Sure you do."

B8-G6:"Not that I remember."

Vek:"Anyway, we need to get the hell out of he- just stop."

B8-G6:"Yes, master."

Vek:"Our bounty's dead, our ramps gone, we're stuck on this fucking planet, I'm not in the mood."

Qotaro:"..." He sighs, and looks at at the ramp, "Gabba..." He starts starts rubbing his head through his hood

Tyzen:"If you want me to, I can go and get the person that takes in bounties."

"It should only take a few minutes, while I'm gone you can clean up."

Vek:"Alright, yea."

Tyzen:With that, the kid starts limping away, going as fast as he can

Vek:He goes to put what's left of the storm trooper in the garbage disposal room

R3-I7:"Kid= who?"

Qotaro:he blinks, as he just looks at the destroyed ramp, dead body, and destroyed stormtrooper, as he steps back, and looks down at his blaster, thinking about it

R3-I7:Vek is able to put what was left in the chute

Vek:"I dunno, R3. Probably the chosen one."

"R3, you know what this is?" He shows him the puck

R3-I7:R4 shines a light on the puck for a few minutes, making small beeps before saying

"Puck = tracker"

Vek:"....."

He walks off the ship, finds a nice cliff, and chucks it

R3-I7:It takes Vek awhile to find a nice cliff but is able to chuck it pretty far

Vek:He comes back "So, that's a bit concerning."

Qotaro:He nods, "Gabba..." he lowers his blaster for now

Tyzen:By the time Vek gets back to the ship, Tyzen isn't far behind with a large pale man just behind him

"Alright, I found someone willing to take pay for the bounty."

willing to pay*

Vek:He looks to see who it is

Rai:As Vek looks over, he sees the man is a cyborg with white hair and is in beyond necessary physical shape

"So who's this bounty?"

Vek:"Uh..well, he's dead, but he's that guy." He points to Buroal

Rai:Rai looks to the man fat greasy man and back to Vek

"How much?"

Vek:"He was 10,000 right up until he broke his neck, I reckon."

Rai:"That's fine."

Rai takes out a few creds and tosses them on a table

"Seven thousand and fifty creds, plus I'll have the back of your.. ship fixed."

Vek:"....."

He looks at Tyzen

Vek Uses Telepathy!

Tyzen:Tyzen is looking to Vek

Vek:{Who is this guy?}

Tyzen:The kid looks around a bit freaked out before realizing the voice was Vek and just stops looking back to him

"Did you say something?"

Vek:"Nope."

He turns back to Rai

"Sounds like a deal to me."

Rai:"Good."

"You can leave the ship and.. Do whatever you do. Your ship will be back to.. Probably better than it was within an hour."

Rai, with little to no effort grabs the man and walks out

man, throwing him over his shoulder and walks out*

Vek:"...Alright, R3, Bait, you guys are sticking behind."

R3-I7:"R3 = understood"

B8-G6:"Yes, master."

Vek:"Make note of anything suspicious, like another one of those damn trackers.."

R3-I7:"R3 = will be on the look out"

Tyzen:"What about me?"

Vek:"Come on, Q, let's see what there's to do around here." He looks at him "Do you got a bad reputation around here?"

Tyzen:"Maybe for asking to be takin' to see my mom, but other than that the trooper was the only one that I've had any arguments with.. Well, I stole some food from a store in the inner city."

Vek:"Alright, well, look, I just remembered we have a 'mess' in the garbage chute, so once we clean that out we can head out."

Narrator:Vek and Qotaro are able to clean the chute and body before Rai's men arrive. Now asked to leave the ship while it's repaired, the small group find the planet to be less full of slaves than the previous planets they've been on but still find slaves on every other corner. The city is home to several types of stores, including but no limited to a blaster store, a clothing store, a armor store, a holotape store, a cantina, a news store, a radio store, a droid store, and a flea market

Human:"Come and get your food here!"

A human says in front of one of the food stores as another says across the street

"Fuel! Kaner Fuel, Puario Fuel, we sale fuel!"

Vek:"Where do you wanna go, Q?"

Qotaro:"Hmm..." he looks around, "Hmmm... hmm..." He closes his eyes, and points at a random store

Human:Qotaro winds up pointing at the droid store

Narrator:Qotaro winds up pointing at the droid store*

Vek:"Here." He gives him 3k "You go see if there's any droids or parts we can pick up. Just try to be smart about the spending."

Narrator:*They hear a small argument erupt from behind them

Qotaro:He nods, "Gatcha--" Before he looked behind him

Vek:he turns his head

Jawa:As he looked behind him, he sees another jawa running down the street before running into a human who slaps it hard enough to throw it into another human. The second human then runs at the first swinging as the jawa follows, throwing hands

"Utini!"

Qotaro:"... Utinni!"

Jawa:The jawa isn't just fighting one human but both, swinging at which ever is closer*

"Uba!"

Vek:"Utinni!"

He walks over to the commotion

Qotaro:He walks over, too

Jawa:the jawa swings at the second human

"Cha!"

Attacks! (48)

Defends! (55)

Human:Defends! (83)

The human blocks the punch and goes to kick the jawa however is cut off by the first, being hit in the face

Vek:He starts speaking in Jawaese "What's going on here?" He looks back to the people, going back to basic "Hey, leave him alone."

Jawa:"I'm taking their credits."

Human:The humans are too busy fighting to hear them as the jawa jumps on them

Jawa:Attacks! (33)

Human:Defends! (45)

Blocking the attack again, the human goes to kick the jawa

Attacks! (86)

Jawa:Defends! (12)

Vek:"I-"

He scratches his head

Human:Suddenly one of the men swing at Vek

"HA!"

Attacks! (96)

Vek:Defends! (68)

Human:Does (19) Damage!

Vek:He shakes a bit, before swinging back at him

Makes a Dexterity Check! (100)

Human:Defends! (69)

He isn't ready

Vek:Does (40) Damage!

Human:Getting hit by Vek the man stumbles back a bit before the jawa jumps on his back dragging him to the ground and slamming his head into the ground

Jawa:"Yoaka!"

Vek:"Let's get out of here, Q." He says, rubbing his shoulder a bit

Qotaro:He nods, going to slip away into the droid store

Jawa:The jawa starts robbing the two now knocked out men

Human:Qotaro walks in the building to find it looking very similar to the last droid building he was in however this time a woman sits at the desk

"Hello."

"How can I help you?"

Qotaro:"Gabba ga!"

Human:"Okay."

Qotaro:"... Gabba. Gabanga." He said, pointing around, looking for anything interesting

Vek:He heads for the Cantina

Human:Qotaro finds several things of interest, especially for a jawa, however only one of them are new to him. A B1 battle droid painted green

Qotaro:"OOOH!"

"GABBA! GABAGA!"

He said, pointing at it repeatedly

Human:The woman looks at the droid for a moment and then to Qotaro before looking back to a computer beside her and then to something under the area where a sudden thud is heard with a grunt

Qotaro:"... Uh..."

Human:"Yea, that's.. two.. No.. Three thousand?"

"Yea, sure."

"Three thousand creds."

Qotaro:"Thud?"

Human:"What?"

Qotaro:"Thud? Bang!" He points at the area

Human:The girl's eyes dart to where she looked before and back to Qotaro

"I don't know what you're talking about little guy."

"If you want the droid, pay if not, leave."

Qotaro:He then spreads his legs a bit, and makes a grunt, imitating the grunt he heard

Human:pay, if not*

"..."

The human looks at the jawa with full confusion before saying

"Hey.. Don't do that."

Qotaro:(2)

He just looks up a bit and shouts, "GAAAAHHH!"

Human:1

The human takes a step back, whipping her hand under the counter before saying

"No!"

Qotaro:He then looks at her, and then holds up three fingers, before shaking his head

"No. Too much."

Human:A muffled scream comes from the counter before another thud

Qotaro:"..."

"... Uh..."

Human:"Two."

Qotaro:He shakes his head again, before he puts up five fingers, "Hundred."

Human:"..."

"One thousand plus it's gun."

Qotaro:"... Mmmm... Okay!"

Human:"Stay here."

Qotaro:"Utinni!"

He gives a thumbs up, holding back a chuckle

Human:With that the woman heads to the back for a little bit

Vek finds a packed cantina rather quickly, full enough that it's hard for him to move

Tyzen:"Excuse me sir, but do you know where I need to go?"

"To see my mom?"

Vek:"....Do you?"

Tyzen:"I believe so."

"It's the last place the troopers would look for her.. Well, was."

Vek:"..What'd she do?"

Tyzen:"Until recently she was thought dead but then a few months ago there was a rumor of a woman being called a sith was destroying places on the last planet my mom was known to be on."

"Drexel."

Vek:He winces a bit

Tyzen:"We won't have to worry about the troopers there, it's a ocean planet and rarely gets visitors."

Vek:"Yea, I've heard of Drexel."

"Alright, I hope you're right about her being there, kid."

Tyzen:"They say it even has dragon lords."

"I hope I am too."

Human:Suddenly, Vek begins to get some distance from Tyzen who starts to get stopped by the heavy crowd of people

Vek:Perceives! (8)

Human:Makes a Thievery Check! (28)

Vek:Perceives! (49)

Human:Makes a Thievery Check! (40)

Vek feels his pockets get looser

Vek:He elbows behind him

Makes a Dexterity Check! (101)

Unknown:Defends! (28)

Tyzen:Tyzen, finally catching up gets elbowed straight in the eye as he falls back, crying as his eye just almost got poked out

Vek:he checks his pockets

Tyzen:Vek is missing two hundred creds

Vek:he looks around for suspicious individuals

Tyzen:"Ah..."

The little zabrak says wiping tears from his eyes

Vek:Perceives! (22)

Human:Makes a Thievery Check! (92)

Everyone in the cantina appears suspicious

Vek:"Damnit... sorry, you okay?" He goes to help Tyzen up

Tyzen:"Yea.. Did you get her?"

Tyzen asks barely able to open his eye

Vek:"Did you see them?"

Tyzen:"Yea, she had a black and red suit on, she was a brown human. I was coming to tell you I see someone reach into your pocket but then you hit me."

Vek:"Yea, I was trying to get her...think you could spot her out with your..uh..good eye?"

Tyzen:"Maybe. Pick me up."

Vek:He puts Tyzen on his shoulders

Tyzen:While standing on Vek's shoulder's, Tyzen scans the area with one of his eyes while still wiping the water from the other

Perceives! (45)

Unknown:Makes a Thievery Check! (52)

Tyzen:"I think I see her, but I don't know."

"She looks similar."

"She just went out the back."

Vek:He holds on tight as he goes to huff it

Makes a Dexterity Check! (149)

Human:Toughs it Out! (97)

The people between Vek and his stolen money are knocked out of the way, tumbling over and being pushed aside

Unknown:Finally Vek makes it to his target, stepping out the back and sees a girl fitting Tyzen's description turning the corner

Vek:"HEY!" He charges at her

Makes a Dexterity Check! (120)

Unknown:Makes a Dexterity Check! (117)

Vek is able to turn the corner just in time to see the woman get in the middle of a crowd of people

Vek:"F-" He keeps charging

Unknown:Seeing Vek isn't stopping the woman turns to him and waits for him to get closer

Vek:He braces himself as he nears

Unknown:"One warning, that's it."

Vek:He goes to headbutt her

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (140)

Unknown:Defends! (157)

The woman dodges Vek's headbutt and turns on a purple lightsaber going to cut him

Attacks! (72)

Vek:Defends! (69)

Kreial:Does (59) Damage!

Vek:"TYZEN!"

He jumps back, ready for MANUEVER 32, as he pulls his saber out and flicks it on

Tyzen:Tyzen jumps off of Vek and goes to attack Kreil with his saber

Attacks! (100)

Kreial:Defends! (78)

"What?"

Caught off guard by Vek and Tyzen both having sabers

"Who are you?"

Tyzen:Does (31) Damage!

Vek:"Look, put your saber down, let's talk about this."

"Is 200 credits really worth risking your life?"

Kreial:Kreial looks between the two saying

"I am apart of the Belor's Jedi! You can not harm me!"

Vek:"The fuck's a jedi?"

Kreial:"Don't you take our name in vein!"

Vek:"Look, I just want my money back."

Kreial:"Who are you with?"

Vek:"Myself."

"I've had a hell of a day, I really don't want to be doing this right now."

Kreial:"No, only those that allow it give lightsabers!"

"Who are you with!?"

Tyzen:"Himself!"

Vek:"You're not giving me my money, are you?"

Kreial:"Not if you are my enemy!"

Vek:He sighs, as he goes to swing for the hilt of her blade, trying to just disarm her

Makes a Dexterity Check! (86)

Kreial:Defends! (147)

The girl is able to dodge before goes to attack him back

Attacks! (108)

Vek:Defends! (59)

Tyzen:Tyzen goes to block the attack for him

Defends! (45)

However doesn't make it in time

Kreial:Does (42) Damage!

"My enemy, you are!"

Vek:"...Okay.."

"Tyzen.."

"Plan C!"

He starts running the other way

Tyzen:Tyzen turns his blade off as he runs away

Makes a Dexterity Check! (52)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (150)

He scoops Tyzen back to his shoulders

Kreial:Makes a Dexterity Check! (102)

It takes no time for Vek to book his ass out of there as Kreial is left confused as to what just happened and how her, a powerful jedi master, could be out ran

Vek:He runs for the droid shop "QOTARO!"

Human:It's at this time that the woman comes from the back with the gun

"Took forever to find this thing."

"We really should organize better."

"So, one thousand creds."

Qotaro:"Utinni!" He said, going and giving her the thousand creds

Human:As he gets the credits out the girl points the blaster at him and says

"Actually, I don't think that's enough."

"I'll take all of it."

Qotaro:"GAAAHH!"

He tries to pull his blaster and shoot her first

Human:"What?!"

Defends! (38)

Qotaro:Shoots! (63)

Does (33) Damage!

Human:She tries to duck under the counter but is shot before she can

"Ow!"

She says as she hits the deck

"You little shit!"

"I was going to let you leave with your life."

"But now."

Qotaro:He hops up and tries to shoot her again

Shoots! (36)

Human:"Wait!"

Defends! (118)

She slides out of the way as Qotaro can now see two dead bodies behind the counter along with another woman tied up

She fires the rifle at Qotaro

Qotaro:"W-..."

Human:Attacks! (55)

Qotaro:"GAH!"

Defends! (120)

He dives to the side and goes to shoot at her again mid-air

Shoots! (95)

Human:Defends! (92)

Qotaro:Does (25) Damage!

Human:"Ah!"

the woman yells again before firing back at Qotaro

Attacks! (100)

Qotaro:He tries to roll away

Defends! (81)

"GAH!"

He yells as he gets hit, before gritting his teeth, "Bacha!"

Human:Does (70) Damage!

Qotaro:"AAHH!"

"BITCH!"

He starts rapid firing back at her

Shoots! (24)

Shoots! (103)

Shoots! (61)

Human:Defends! (62)

Defends! (112)

Defends! (69)

The woman manages to dodge all of the blasts before retaliating

Shoots! (106)

Qotaro:Defends! (139)

"GAH!"

He ducks under it, and keeps fiting at her

Shoots! (29)

Human:Defends! (86)

The fire fight continues

Lucks Out! (54)

Qotaro:Lucks Out! (99)

Human:Several seconds pass as the blasts continue, Qotaro taking no damage as the girl gets five shots

Qotaro:Does (38) Damage!

Does (30) Damage!

Does (39) Damage!

Does (30) Damage!

Does (35) Damage!

Human:The woman falls back, a few of her fingers go flying off as she is left on the brink of death

Toughs it Out! (68)

She manages to awake however isn't really able to do much with one of her ears having been burnt off from one of the blasts

All she can get herself to do is moan

Qotaro:He climbs over the counter, as he tries to open the cage

omit*

He goes to untie the woman

Human:After untying the woman she ungaggs herself saying

"About time you stupid fucking creature!"

Qotaro:(1)

He lifts his blaster to her face and fires

Human:As he goes pull up the blaster, she starts to scream before a hole appears in her head, causing her to fall limp

Qotaro:"Utinni."

He then goes to tie up the other woman

Human:Toughs it Out! (70)

She tries her best to fight off the jawa

Qotaro:Makes a Strength Check! (77)

Human:Makes a Strength Check! (112)

"No."

Is the only word she is able to muster, barely breathing as her organs are slowly dying

Qotaro:"..."

(2)

He just lifts his blaster towards her face and fires

Human:she's dead

Qotaro:He then goes to grabbing some stuff, before going to try and activate that B1 Droid

Perceives! (76)

Chip:Having previous knowledge of droids and how they work, it takes no time for Qotaro to activate the old droid. As it turns on it says

"Hello, my name is Chip. I am a B1 battle droid."

Qotaro:"Ah!" He holds his hands out, "Gabba!" He points at himself and says, "Qotaro! New master!"

He then walks over and grabs Chip's gun, and goes to walk back over

Chip:Chip watches his new master grab the gun and carry it back over

"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:"Utinni!" He then hands him the gun, and says, "Come! Meet Qotaro's brother, Vek."

"Other droids, too."

Chip:It's at this time that Qotaro can hear Vek call out his name

"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:"Utinni!" he begins rushing out of the store with Chip

Chip:Chip follows behind, almost stepping on Qotaro's hells being so close

Vek:He skids to a stop "We gotta get the hell out of here!"

Qotaro:He stops, "Wait!"

"Credits!"

"Come on!"

Tyzen:Tyzen does a front flip as Vek stops, jumping off the new human friend

Qotaro:"Oh, Vek! Meet Chip!" He says, tapping on Chip's side, "Gabba, new droid!"

Tyzen:However stumbles a bit from the wound in his leg, wincing in pain

Chip:"Nice to meet you, master's brother Vek!"

Vek:"Pleasure's mine, but, we're kinda in a rush here."

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro runs inside, grabbing his creds and robbing whatever else he can

On the girl that tried to kill him he finds another five thousand creds but no one else has any as she seemingly robbed them, as for parts Qotaro picks up several pieces that won't slow him down too much and sees a unique ball that he didn't see before

Qotaro:After he grabs all of that, he rushes back out and says, "Go, go!" As he then went back for the ship

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Vek:He books it

Tyzen:Tyzen jumps back on Vek as they run saying

"Chip is cool!"

Qotaro:"Roger!"

Tyzen:"The only battle droids like him that I've seen don't work."

Qotaro:"Gabba!"

Tyzen:Just over an hour has passed before they get back to their ship as a lot of people have taken notice to them

Vek:"Pardon us, nothing to see here.." He went to hop into the ship

Qotaro:"Shoo!" he said, running for the ship with Chip

Chip:Chip hasn't left his master's side

Tyzen:"Wait, do you have a pilot?"

Qotaro:He points at himself with his thumb, "Gatcha!"

B8-G6:"Oh, masters! You're back!"

"Thank goodness, there were a bunch of strange men messing with the ship, it was all very weird."

R3-I7:"R3=happy to see owner return"

B8-G6:"Oh, who is this?"

Bait asks looking to Chip

Qotaro:"Chip!" He said, throwing his hands into the air

Chip:"Hello, my name is Chip. I am a B1 battle droid."

B8-G6:"Oh.. Another droid?"

Qotaro:He chuckles and nods

R3-I7:"Zabrak = still joining?"

Vek:"Yea, he is."

"And yea, we picked up another droid, Bait."

"Try to get along."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks at the two droids and bows saying

"I am sorry for the damage I caused your ship. I didn't know the trooper followed me."

B8-G6:"Yes, master Vek."

Bait says with disappointment

"When do you plan on us leaving?"

"I don't like this planet very much."

Vek:"Me either. We're leaving, now."

Tyzen:"Mom?"

Vek:"Set course for Drexel...uh..let's let bait handle this for now, Q."

Tyzen:"Yay!"

B8-G6:"Yes, master Vek."

Bait, feeling a bit better heads to the cockpit and starts the engines

Qotaro:"... Aaahhh..."

Vek:"Just watch him and try to learn a bit more, next time you can take a crack at it."

Unknown:"Hey!"

A muffled female voice is heard from the outside of the ship

Vek:"F- This fucking bitch.."

Qotaro:He blinks, and looks over

Vek:he walks over and lowers the ramp "What!?"

Stormtrooper:As he lowers the ramp Vek finds a stormtrooper on the other side

"My partner came through here earlier, some say they saw him in a gun fight, do you know anything about that?"

Vek:"Nope."

Charms! (57)

Stormtrooper:Perceives! (99)

"They said he got into a blaster fight with the people who own this ship."

Vek:"That is not true."

Stormtrooper:"Oh yea?"

Vek:"I didn't want to say it, but the truth is.."

Stormtrooper:"Is it also not true that you have a lightsaber?"

Vek:"He blew himself up trying to kill a kid."

he completely ignores her last point

Stormtrooper:"...."

"The kid was a zabrak?"

Vek:He goes to raise the ramp

Charms! (108)

Stormtrooper:Perceives! (113)

"Hey! I asked you a question!"

Qotaro:He steps up

"NO!"

"NO GABBA! GARBA GA!"

"AAAHH, GAAAAHHHH!"

He points at her, "NO!"

"NO GABBA GA!"

Stormtrooper:"I don't believe you!"

With that she turns around and starts walking away

Qotaro:"BEEEETCH!"

Vek:"Alright, Bait, kick it."

R3-I7:As the ship start to take off, R3 beeps

"Stormtrooper = bad news // Qotaro = should have killed her"

Vek:"We're trying to not do that, R3."

"The other guy did it to himself."

Chip:"Should I go down, master Qotaro?"

R3-I7:"Vek = good idea"

"Mairc = idiot"

Qotaro:He sighs, "Gabba."

He then points up at the sky

He looks at Chip, and shakes his head, "No gabba."

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:He then walks over tot he cockpit, having Chip follow, as he was gonna study how B8 pilots

"OH!"

"Vek, look!"

He went to show Vek he still had the 3000 Credits, but also managed to gain an extra 5000 as well

Vek:"...At least we made some profit."

PAGE 12: Zhar // END

PAGE 13: Ural // START

Narrator:Olivar's stressful session of thought is interrupted when he feels the ship turn off and sees Kait roll into the room he is in, beeping

R4-K8:"Ship = Orvax"

Olivar:"We're here?"

R4-K8:"Olivar = yes"

Olivar:He stands "Well..." He checks "Gah! Damnit. We're late. Let's hurry." He looks to Talz "Hey, watch the ship for us, alright?"

Talz:Giving Olivar a saluto, he says

"Understood, Goss!"

before going back to playing with a ball

R4-K8:"Contact = call?"

Olivar:"Yeah, go ahead."

R4-K8:Kait stops in place and brings up an antenna that starts rotating in place

It takes only a couple of seconds before the antenna stops in place and a little hologram appears in front of Olivar of a stormtrooper

Stormtrooper:"Hello?"

Olivar:"Are you with Solstice?"

Stormtrooper:"Oh... Oh.. Oh, I'm so sorry sir!"

The stormtrooper stands at attention, saluting

"Please, forgiving me for not realizing sooner sir! I'll be at the hanger as soon as I can sir!"

Olivar:He salutes "See you then."

He motions for R4 to hang up

R4-K8:The hologram turns off and Kait's antenna goes back inside before she beeps

"Hanger 23?"

"Olivar = go to hanger 23"

Olivar:He looks to the hanger number "Ah shit, let's hurry up and get there...why do you think he saluted?"

R4-K8:"Olivar = works for Solstice now?"

Olivar:"..."

"No. I don't."

"This is just a job. Like any other."

He starts to walk away, but seems really annoyed by this "Don't even ask if I work for her again."

"I'm getting real tired of people assuming that."

R4-K8:"Solstice = know that?"

Kait beeps in a questioning manor, rolling along side Olivar as they make their way towards the hanger

manner*

Olivar:"If she doesn't, she'll figure out soon enough."

R4-K8:"Olivar = careful // Solstice = dangerous // Last partner = dead"

Olivar:"Well, good thing I'm not her partner."

R4-K8:"Last partner = mine"

Olivar:"...that's not going to happen to me." His voice seems to be getting a little deeper as time goes on

R4-K8:"Kait = hope not // Kait = doesn't like Solstice"

By this time they reach hanger 23

Stormtrooper:At the hanger they see a stormtrooper standing guard

Olivar:"You're the guy that I talked too?"

Stormtrooper:The trooper looks to Olivar and salutes saying

"Yes sir!"

"It's nice to meet you sir!"

"I've been working here for five years and this is the first time since the Solstice military enlisted me that I get to meet a general."

Olivar:He blinks

"...uh...yeah." He salutes

R4-K8:"Olivar = better make sure Solstice knows"

Olivar:His voice goes back to normal "Not now."

He coughs "Well, soldier, I'm here on a secret mission. I was told that you have information on a junky ship that has a yellow stripe down its side?"

Stormtrooper:"Yes sir! I didn't see much but I believe that one of them was a foreful."

Olivar:"Oh? Good job, soldier! Now, do you have any idea where that ship was heading?"

Stormtrooper:"I believe I heard the sound of a lightsaber and when I went to investigate one of my commanding officers along with a Toydarian known as Uji were cut in half and their wounds were cauterized>"

"No sir, I don't."

"Maybe I can take you to the scene of the fight, you may be able to find a clue."

Olivar:"Lead the way."

Stormtrooper:The trooper leads Olivar to taped off small building that takes a several minutes to get to, going down a few levels of the towers the society is built within and walking through a small crowd

"Here it is sir, I've done my best to make sure nothing was touched but.. Unfortunately during the riot that broke out the same day, all of us troopers had to go tame the slaves."

"So while we were gone looters came in and took everything, even Uji's body was missing when I got back."

Olivar:"...that..." He shakes his head "If the place has been looted, how am I supposed to know any clues are their's?"

Stormtrooper:"I'm sorry sir."

"I don't really have anything else to say."

Olivar:He shakes his head, entering the crime scene, taking a look around "What do you make of this?" He looks to K8

R4-K8:"Scene = looted // Scenario = impossible to put together"

Stormtrooper:"Actually, sir.."

Olivar:He turns

Stormtrooper:"I have a friend who said he saw a jawa and a human in a droid shop over on Socorro."

"I didn't think much of it at the time and doubt they are connected but it's better than nothing."

Olivar:"...hmm...how did these two act? Did they have any specific...mannerisms that could distinguish them?"

Stormtrooper:"I don't know sir, you would have to ask him, he just said it was weird seeing a jawa."

"Which is true, you only see one of those off of tatooine once a year."

Olivar:He rubs his helmet "Alright." He starts walking back to the ship "Let's head to Socorro..."

Stormtrooper:"He also said that after he left there was a gun fight, so..."

"Seems like their style."

Olivar:He nods, continuing to walk "At ease."

Stormtrooper:The trooper goes back to working for Elero

R4-K8:"Socorro = worth a look"

"Socorro = better chance than here"

Stormtrooper:After only a few seconds, the trooper comes running back up to him

"I'll have my friend be on the look out for your droid on the radio."

"Hopefully he'll have more to tell you."

Olivar:he nods "Thank you for your help."

Stormtrooper:The trooper salutes one last time before going back to working for Elero

R4-K8:"Olivar = going to Socorro?"

Olivar:"Only lead we have..."

R4-K8:Olivar and Kait get back to the ship where Olivar is able to continue his stressful thoughts while Kait semi-pilots the ship, guiding it to Socorro

It takes just over a day for Olivar's party to arrive at Socorro

R4 rolls into the room Olivar is in just after landing the ship and says

"Ship = landed // Trooper = contact?"

Olivar:He's laying there, with his helmet on, staring at the ceiling "...sure."

R4-K8:It takes a few moments but eventually a muffled voice calls out of Kait's speaker

Stormtrooper:"Is this Hiro's friend?"

Olivar:"I guess so."

Stormtrooper:"Yea, he said something about you looking for a jawa and his human companion?"

Olivar:"That would be correct."

Stormtrooper:"Alright, I'll be down at Homer's Droid Sphere, that's where I saw them, you can talk to Sophy, he's the one that talked to them, I just kind of said hi the human and my partner said something to the jawa but the jawa did some weird shit and spooked him."

"Meet you there."

R4-K8:Static erupts from Kait before it turns the radio off and beeps

"Homer's Droid Sphere = just down the street from the hanger"

Olivar:"Let's go..."

R4-K8:Kait leads Olivar to the droid shop

Talz:Talz stays on the ship, still believing his duty is to guard it

R4-K8:Within' an hour, Kait and Olivar arrive at this droid shop just as the trooper is walking up as well

Stormtrooper:"Are you the fella I'm meeting?"

Olivar:He's walking with his hands behind his back in a stately manner "Yes."

Stormtrooper:"Well isn't that some funny timing."

The trooper nods and walks into the shop as the store clerk looks between them saying

Sophy:"Oh, Hix! Welcome!"

"What did that little bit droid not do justice for your racer?"

Stormtrooper:"No, that's not it, this is actually about that little event that happened yesterday. Right after I left."

Sophy:"Now.. We had a deal, Hix."

"You get a discount and my shop is a freeland of your Elero friends and laws."

Stormtrooper:"Yes and this isn't about that."

"This is something of a favor for a friend. This man here-"

Hix nods towards Olivar

"- is looking for the jawa and human that was in here just before me."

Sophy:"Ja-.. What the fuck's a jawa?"

Stormtrooper:"You know, the little people from tatooine. Always wear a brown hood."

"Little yellow almost glowing eyes."

Sophy:"What about it?"

Olivar:He starts tapping his foot

Sophy:Sophy and the trooper look to Olivar

"Well?"

"What about it?"

Stormtrooper:Hix takes something out and starts fiddling with it in his hand

Olivar:"I need to know where they were heading."

"And what they did while here."

Sophy:"As for where they are, can't tell you. But while they were here they bought two things."

"A custom R3 unit built for the droid fights that happen on Roon, or Iskalon or.. I don't know where the big fights are held, somewhere north of here, and the second thing was a doir."

"Which means they are either about to unleash hell on someone or they have a really really dirty machine."

"When they were on their way out some Jaquas came in and I guess they had some personal grudge against them."

"But they've stirred up fights around here before, so I don't know, but they went to have a gun fight."

"But Hix knows as well as anyone that it's not a good idea to raise a gun in my shop with the intent to harm."

Stormtrooper:"Last time I'll mess with you."

Olivar:He rubs his chin "...do you have any way of tracking your droid?"

Sophy:"I know some of the droid shops in the inner rims track their droids for a certain period of time but, no, that's not how we do it out here."

"Once you buy a droid that's it. No longer our problem."

Olivar:"What's the exact model number?"

Sophy:"One sec."

The man walks over to a corner of the counter starts reading a book

"R3-I7."

"As for which number in the R3-I7s it was made, I can't tell you. It might be the first R3-I7 made, it might be the one hundred and fourth."

"I do know it's a pretty old droid."

Olivar:"What's it's DIV?"

• DIN

Sophy:"When it first came in here it talked about some of it's first jobs being illegal droid fights and.. Well they became legal back before the empire took over so it's been around for awhile. The reason I tell you this is because the owner, to keep from being traced if he had to leave the droid, scratched the number off."

"So I can't tell you that."

"But I can write down a description of the droid for you."

Olivar:"Go ahead."

Sophy:Sophy writes some details down before look back to Olivar saying

"Hey, I see you have a droid too."

"It looks pretty nice."

"How much?"

Olivar:"Not for sale."

Sophy:"Trust me, everything's for sale, just got to find the right price."

As he says this is offers Olivar the piece of paper he was writing on

Olivar:"I have a lot of things that aren't for sale. Pleasure meeting you."

He looks to the trooper, nods, and then begins on his way

• after he takes the peice of paper

R4-K8:Kait follows along as Hix and Sophy begin a conversation

"Olivar = thank you"

Olivar:"For what?"

R4-K8:"Kait = not selling"

Olivar:"Don't mention it."

Human:On their way back to the ship, the see several people laughing at a man who is crying on his knees while staring at his ship

Olivar notices that the man's ship is just two ships over from his

Olivar:He walks over "...what's going on?"

Human:"They did it!"

The crying man yells as the people can't seem to stop laughing. It's not until now that Olivar can see the man's ship as several finger sized holes in it, however don't appear to be from a blaster as there are no burn marks

Olivar:He sounds really confused "What...the hell..."

"What?"

Human:"They let that vial parasite on my ship!"

"Those god damn monsters!"

"I told them no but they did it anyways!"

"And now I have nothing!"

"It's eaten everything I have!"

"It's destroyed everything!"

Olivar:He looks at him, and then to the ship, and then back to the man "...who did it?"

Human:"Those fucking kids!"

"I'd kill them if I could!"

The man screams, looking at the people laughing who all seem to be young but aren't exactly kids, at least not to Olivar

Olivar:He looks to the "kids" "So, you guys did this?"

Human:The majority of the eight people standing there laughing don't stop but one says through his chuckles

"Yea!"

"It's great isn't it!?"

Olivar:He rolls back his shoulders "Alright. One of you. Fight me."

"Vote amongst yourselves if you want, I don't care."

Human:The group of people stop laughing and look amongst each other before looking back to Olivar

"What?"

Olivar:"Come on."

"One on one."

"Fisticuffs."

Human:"Okay."

One says stepping out from the group

"You want to fight, let's go"

"I'll take on a old fuck like you!"

Olivar:He swings

Attacks! (91)

Human:Defends! (53)

The kid gets hit as he stumbles back, four of his friends bring out pistols and fire at Olivar

Shoots! (74)

Shoots! (35)

Shoots! (54)

Shoots! (103)

Olivar:Defends! (97)

Defends! (70)

Defends! (106)

Defends! (120)

He pulls out his lightsaber, and swings

Attacks! (75)

Human:The kids can't seem to hit the old fuck as he swings back at the group

Defends! (43)

Olivar:He brings his saber up from the other side

Attacks! (122)

Human:The group begin crying as they can't even hope to dodge this maniac

Defends! (26)

Olivar:Does (56) Damage!

Does (68) Damage!

Human:These people are cut through like a holadui as they all fall, dead, except the one that stepped out to fight Olivar who stands there, shaking in fear unable to move as tears fill his eyes

Olivar:He puts up his lightsaber "Now. We fight."

He doesn't even sound like the same person

Human:His knees buckle as he faits, pissing himself soon afterwords

faints*

Olivar:His shoulders sink in disappointment. He then turns to the other man.

Human:He sees that the man is lying on the ground, stomach down with blood pooling around his head

Olivar:He looks confused, stumbling back, and then looks around

Human:Everyone that was around has ran off in fear when he took out his lightsaber and Olivar

Olivar:He kicks the dude over

Human:As the man rolls over from Olivar's kick, he sees a black snake like figure carving a way through the man's sternum

Olivar:He stabs it with his lightsaber

Attacks! (94)

Human:Defends! (31)

Unknown:Olivar is able to stab the Doir and cut it in half

Olivar:He looks to K8 "Check around the outside of the ship for things that look like that." He nods to the worm before putting up his lightsaber

R4-K8:R4 does what she was asked, rolling around, scanning the area

Olivar:He goes to check the now dead man's wallet for any I.D.

Human:Olivar discovers that the man is Oliver Kylor, a sixty two year old human born on Ord Padron

Olivar:He takes it, putting it in his pocket. He looks to R4 "Anything?"

R4-K8:R4 rolls back up next to Olivar

"Doirs = none"

Olivar:He walks inside, nodding to Talz before taking a seat in the lobby room

Talz:As Olivar reenters the ship Talz looks to him and says

"Goss!"

"A message came in!"

"A message for you."

Olivar:"What is it?"

Solstice:Talz walks to the table before pressing a button on it which plays a holotape

"Forget the target you hunt now, hurry to Zhar, just a few hours ago there was a fight between two saber wielders."

"I have another contact who has more than just hear say, she has proof, even claims one of these wielders killed her partner."

"She'll be waiting on you at a cantina on the planet called "Jurrda's Tip"

cantina*

"She'll be waiting on you at a cantina on the planet, called 'Jurrda's Tip'."*

Olivar:He looks to K8 "Book it." He looks back to Soltice "Anyone get a glimpse of there ship, if they even had one?"

Solstice:The message ends, and the holotape shuts off

R4-K8:R4 is already guiding the ship to start and head for Zhar

Olivar:"..."

"She is not getting away with this."

PAGE 13: Ural // END

PAGE 14: Drexel pt.3 // START

Narrator:Olivar finds himself in the apartment that has been provided to him by Edove for the simple fact that he's a forceful like her. Over the past twenty days that he's been stranded on the boat city, several things have happened but those stories will be explained at a later time, right now, however, Duga finds himself in a conversation with one of the eight people that have begun to follow him and his ideals

Duga finds himself*

Marko:"My sister doesn't agree with this."

"Me being around you."

"She thinks you're a bad influence."

Duga:"And your sister's influence is going to hold you back?"

He sits in a meditative position, completely covered by his robes

Marko:"No, I just.. I don't know what to do."

"She is the only person I have. Our parents died a couple of years ago and no one helped us, we could only depend on each other... But I'm afraid that if I leave with you, she won't come with us."

Marko is only fifteen but has become one of the stronger bottom guards in the city

Duga:"What are you if you are allowing yourself to be bound by such bonds? Are you going to let yourself grow weak?"

Marko:During his time here, Duga has also learned that bottom guards are some of the toughest forms of military in the city, protecting the bottom of the city, as well as worker and other job that involves going out into the sea from aquatic beings

"I only want to grow my strength for those bonds."

"Without them, I have no reason."

Duga:"There is always reason. Your independence, your strength. How can you prove these things to yourself or her while clinging to her as a child to mother?"

Marko:"I.. I don't know."

Duga:"The answer is that you cannot."

"Whether you forsake your bonds or not matters little. Limiting yourself for the comfort of others, however, only weakens you."

Marko:"Yes, Meister."

"Thank you for your time."

With this, Marko exits Duga's room, leaving him alone as night has begun since he first joined him, now approaching midnight, Duga is beginning to feel a bit sleepy

Duga:He locks up however he can and heads to the place where his bed should be, taking a seat on the mattress on the floor and preparing to rest

Narrator:It takes little time for Duga to fall asleep however before the sun can shine on him as his morning alarm, Duga is awoke by the smell of smoke and the sound of distant screams

Duga:His eyes flash open, his hand on his saber as he hops up

Narrator:As Duga jumps up, he sees smoke seeping into his room from a window on the wall across from his bed and can also see that day has yet to break

Duga:He rushes for the door

The Way of the Wet Sith:As Duga opens the door he finds three men in robes standing over a dead woman as they've sliced her throat with a dagger. The tree look to Duga and as he realizes one of them to be one of his own followers, one of the other two say

"I'm sorry, Meister."

Duga:"Explain."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"Meister Marko said this is the only way. We have to sever our bonds to grow stronger."

Duga sees the robes they wear are identical to the ones he wears himself

Duga:"And who is this?"

The Way of the Wet Sith:"My daughter."

The one with the dagger says

Duga:"And to sever that bond you destroy the source of that bond?"

The Way of the Wet Sith:"Yes."

"Just as we have to destroy those who are stronger."

"Like you, meister."

The one with the dagger steps over his daughter and runs at Duga, swinging

Attacks! (48)

Duga:He steps aside

Defends! (90)

He raises a hand "Fool."

Duga Uses Force Push!

Duga:Uses the Force! (149)

He sends a blast at the zealot toward the wall

The Way of the Wet Sith:Toughs it Out! (52)

Duga:Does (15) Damage, With the Force!

The Way of the Wet Sith:The dagger wielding man is thrown like a small rock against the wall, breaking his neck. As this happens both of the others swing at Duga

Attacks! (66)

Attacks! (89)

Duga:Again, he attempts to dodge

Defends! (129)

Defends! (137)

He easily avoids their attacks "You seem to have learned nothing." He pulls his saber from within his robes and slashes at the two with a snarl

Attacks! (51)

The Way of the Wet Sith:"No!"

Defends! (94)

Duga:Attacks! (76)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (80)

One of the men jump back as the other ducks under his saber, both coming right back around

Shoots! (95)

Shoots! (86)

Attacks! (108)

Attacks! (49)

The Way of the Wet Sith:The one that dodged the attack swings at Duga's face as the other goes to kick Duga's knee

Duga:Defends! (54)

Defends! (83)

In attempting to dodge one, he is caught by the other

The Way of the Wet Sith:The sounds of screams, fire, and sword clashing are getting louder as the city is slowly burning in the background

Does (16) Damage!

Duga:He stabs forwards, angling both in his path

Attacks! (126)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (119)

Neither of them are able to dodge Duga's stab as they're both pierced, dropping to the ground, unable to fight

Duga:"Peace is a lie. There is only the force." he makes his way toward the din of battle, saber away

The Way of the Wet Sith:Along the way several more men in robes attack Duga, way more than he had followers

Attacks! (94)

Duga:Defends! (86)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Does (16) Damage!

Duga:There are more people than he can dodge

The Way of the Wet Sith:He manages to dodge most of their attacks, but a few of them manage to hit him

Duga:"Heretics!" He sweeps his saber in a wide arc

Attacks! (98)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (82)

The robbed wanna be sith are cut down by Duga on his way to the one building he can think of being the center of everything, Marko's home

However a few more sith get in Duga's way before he gets there

Attacks! (108)

Duga:Defends! (131)

This time he was ready

The Way of the Wet Sith:Duga is able to dodge all of the attackers, some even with daggers

Duga:He is a whirlwind as his anger grows and grows

Attacks! (109)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (47)

His anger is too strong

The false followers are all stricken down as he continues, several of the citizens during this are fighting for their lives, be it from the massive fire or the family robed figures that have suddenly plagued this city

Narrator:Finally arriving at Marko's home, he opens the door to find Marko's sister, nailed to the wall with her stomach ripped open and insides all over the floor, a trial of blood leads up the stairs of the building

Duga:He pants heavily, eyes glowing as he makes his way up the stairs

Narrator:Making his way up the stairs, he finds another trail leading down the same path, one of bodies, both his fallen followers and random civilians

Duga:"That imbecile."

Narrator:The trail, leading higher and higher up the building, eventually finds the top, where Marko sits, watching the destruction of his new army

Marko:Seeing his master walk up the stairs and arrive, Marko smiles and says

"Meister.. I was wondering how much longer it would be."

Duga:"Wanton destruction? Is that all that you have learned under my tutelage?"

Marko:"Wan-.. No, no, meister. That is not what this is about."

"You said yourself, we are limiting ourselves to our true potential."

"We have to be rid of these bonds to grow stronger and.. To be honest, I didn't believe you."

"But after practicing it, I now see what you meant, I see the truth in your ways."

"I'm sorry for ever doubting you, you have yet to steer us wrong."

"And I admit that within this past month, I've grown attached to you, I realized you were telling me that I'm ready."

Marko:"And I thank you."

"Thank you for your time, meister."

Duga:He lowers his saber and raises his hand

Duga Uses Force Push!

Duga:Uses the Force! (84)

Marko:Toughs it Out! (52)

Marko isn't able to hold himself in place as he goes flying off the roof, falling down several stories before landing on another roof

Duga:He walks to the ledge to look down at him

Does (15) Damage, With the Force!

Marko:Marko landed pretty rough however was strong enough to take it as he stands on the lower roof, looking up to Duga, spear in hand

"I expected as much from you, meister."

Duga:"You failed your first lesson, Marko."

Marko:It's at this time that Marko brings out a remote with a button, clicking it

"No, meister. I don't believe I have."

Duga:Makes a Dexterity Check! (107)

Marko:Makes a Dexterity Check! (117)

Does (70) Damage!

A large explosion is set off under Duga as he is sent flying away from the building, along with several pieces of debris falling on the already burning city. By the time Duga lands, he finds Marko already in front of him, running towards him as he flew, stabbing his spear at him upon landing

Attacks! (96)

Duga:He just attempts to keep rolling

Defends! (75)

Marko:Does (29) Damage!

Duga:He's speared, spitting up blood "You've learned something at least.." He turns his saber on in front of Marko

Attacks! (85)

Marko:Defends! (95)

"I've learned more than you say."

Marko says, back flipping as the saber is activated

Duga:"There is only passion." His eyes flash

Marko:"Passion comes from bonds."

"Something you said to sever."

Duga:"Through passion, I gain strength." He raises his saber, grasping it by both hands

Marko:"Through strength, I gain power."

Marko says, raising his uniquely designed spear, almost copying Duga's stance

Duga:His teeth grind "Through power, I gain victory."

Marko:The sounds of the mayhem in the background begin to fade as Marko continues

"Through victory, my chains are broken."

Duga:He almost whispers "The force shall set me free." He then charges, saber over head

Marko:Marko charges as well, going in for a thrust

Duga:Attacks! (93)

Marko:Attacks! (123)

Does (38) Damage!

Duga:Makes a Willpower Check! (62)

Marko:Marko's spear stabs through one of Duga's hearts as he can feel himself slowly bleeding internally

"I may not have your force, meister. But I have your power. And now, with my army, I will take control of all the other cities."

"This is something I've been planning since the beginning, meister. I thank you for giving me the ability."

Duga:He grasps the spear in his chest with a vice grip and holds his saber above his head still "You have my...."He spits some blood " admiration." He then goes to stab down with his saber

Attacks! (141)

Marko:Marko goes to block Duga's wrists from coming down, having to let go of the spear

Defends! (100)

Duga:Does (65) Damage!

Marko:However unable to stop's slash, Marko's arm is cut pretty badly but he is able to keep fighting as he jumps up, drop kicking Duga to push himself away and Duga back

Attacks! (120)

Duga:Defends! (148)

He stands as a rock, deflecting Marko's leg and just pushing him back

He pulls the spear out, groaning as blood pours down his chest

Toughs it Out! (60)

He looks up at Marko "But that will not stop my revenge."

Marko:Marko crouches on one knee and stares back to Duga, ripping off the clothe that was cut from Duga's saber and revealing his heavily wounded arm

"Meister, thank you for your final test."

Suddenly, Marko stands up, turning as he stands, booking it towards the edge of the city

Makes a Dexterity Check! (44)

Duga:"Weakling!" He gives chase if he's able

Makes a Dexterity Check! (41)

Marko:Jumping from roof top to roof top until making to the bottom of the city, Duga is able to keep up but doesn't gain any ground as Marko is quickly making his way to the water

Makes a Dexterity Check! (57)

Duga:Makes a Dexterity Check! (22)

He slows, blood loss making it impossible to keep up

Marko:Marko jumps into the dark water as Duga is quickly loosing track of him

Duga:He stops at the water's edge, bellowing "Next time, aim for the head!"

Marko:Suddenly Marko shoots out of the water, running another spear towards Duga's head

Attacks! (77)

Duga:Defends! (123)

He steps aside, raising a hand to catch Marko's neck

Attacks! (139)

Marko:Defends! (127)

Marko is not only unable to spear Duga's face but is also caught by the neck by his master

Duga:"Not quite." He goes to pierce Marko's chest with the saber

Attacks! (84)

Marko:Defends! (46)

Duga:Does (64) Damage!

Marko:Marko is unable to block or dodge Duga's saber as it's pierced through his chest

Makes a Willpower Check! (52)

Marko begins to choke as Duga's grip gets tighter, or maybe it's just in Marko's head as he begins to freak out, believing his death is near. He finds the strength to try and kick Duga's face

Attacks! (66)

Duga:Defends! (56)

He was not expecting this

Marko:Does (21) Damage!

Duga:Makes a Willpower Check! (88)

Marko:Makes a Strength Check! (120)

Duga:Toughs it Out! (45)

Marko:Duga is kicked directly in the face as Marko flips to his hands and knees, coughing as his vision begins to come back from the darkness it was slowly becoming

"Meister, I knew you were strong but.. This is amazing."

Duga:He stumbles several feet back, nose bloody

Marko:Pants emerge from the yellow squid humanoid as he struggles to get back to his feet

The Way of the Wet Sith:Behind Duga, two robed sith see them and stop, calling out

"Master Duga! Grand Master Marko!"

Duga:He raises his saber to point at Marko "You have proven yourself far beyond what I imagined. Kneel, and become my apprentice."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"..."

Duga:Charms! (33)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Makes a Willpower Check! (51)

The sith look amongst each other

Marko:Marko looks to Duga's eyes as the Sith sit behind Duga, awaiting his response

Makes a Willpower Check! (22)

"Yes.. My meister."

Marko places his hands on the ground he is knelt on

The Way of the Wet Sith:"No!"

The sith run at the two, swinging swords

"Heresy! Weakness!"

Attacks! (38)

Duga:Defends! (120)

He turns on heel, sticking a foot out in front of the wannabe

Attacks! (86)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (80)

The sith falls face first as his sword cuts through his stomach on the way down

"No! Brother!"

The second swings his blade at Duga as well

Attacks! (114)

Duga:Defends! (85)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Does (17) Damage!

Duga:Makes a Willpower Check! (50)

He takes the slash "You are filth." he cold raises his saber and slashes

Attacks! (73)

The Way of the Wet Sith:Defends! (31)

"NO!"

The wet sith has been killed however he was not the last as the city is still being over run by them

Duga:"Apprentice, rise. We have to clean up your mess."

Marko:"Yes, meister."

Marko stands, still gripping his second spear

It's at this moment that lightening suddenly feels the sky

Edove:Rain begins to pour as parts of buildings are thrown and a voice thunders over the city as Edove stands atop a building in the center of the city

"This chaos stops, now!"

the female forceful calls out before Marko and Duga lose track of her as she jumps down

Duga:"Prepare yourself for what lies ahead or you shall not make it through the day."

"Even then, you might not."

He starts forward into the city

Toughs it Out! (93)

Edove:Uses the Force! (136)

Toughs it Out! (70)

Marko:Toughs it Out! (36)

Marko begins following Duga into the city before they are thrown back, Duga on the edge of city, Marko into the water, several meters away

Duga:He coughs blood, slowly standing from debris

Edove:As he stands, Duga sees that the city is slowly sinking as buildings begin to fall all around him and lightning continues to fill his hearing along with the screams of those being electrocuted, among the debris, all he can see is the occasional robed sith being struck by lighting from an out of view source

Duga:Lucks Out! (8)

Narrator:As he is too focused on the destruction around him to see the debris crumbling just over him as a large piece of metal slams into him

Does (17) Damage!

Duga:He's back in the debris

Makes a Willpower Check! (100)

He howls his pain and anger as he flings the chunk off of him

Narrator:Amongst the debris he sees a red lightsaber fly past him and cut through several hooded figures that were running away in terror

Edove:Finally, revealing herself once more, Edove stands over Duga, claiming

"This is your doing."

Duga:He climbs from his new imprint in the dock, holding his blade turned off "If it was, it would be much, much better."

A spout of blood blooms from his chest

Edove:"I thought you were different."

Edove raises her hand as her lightsaber returns to her

Duga:"I am. Which is why I didn't do this." He holds his chest now "The perversion of the Sith philosophy is what led to this catastrophe."

Edove:"From your words."

Duga:"I cannot help that people chose to take different meanings from my words. If I could, there would be fewer new holes in my body."

Charms! (23)

Edove:Makes a Willpower Check! (105)

Edove raises her lightsaber to strike Duga

But lowers it after a few seconds of standing there with spite in her eyes

"You are to leave my planet as soon as you can, however you must."

"You are no longer welcome here."

"If you return, you will die."

Duga:He turns on his saber "Until then, I have zealots to slay."

Edove:Edove turns and begins slaying more of the seemingly endless followers of wet sith

Duga:He doesn't even give a look back to the sea, expecting Marko to follow if he yet lives. He follows behind Edove, leaving his, considerably smaller, warpath to the future that lays ahead

Several hours have passed since the civil war started and has since died, with the Way of the Wet Sith being mostly killed, all those who wore robes and tried to kill have been either cut through by Duga or electrocuted by Edove. Duga finds himself sitting on some debris near his now burned down home as the rays of sun are blocked by a ship coming down, within the ship stand Qotaro and Vek along with their party of friends as they see the all but destroyed city, with barley enough room for them to land their ship

Duga finds himself sitting on some debris near his now burned down home alongside an unconscious Marko, as the rays of sun are blocked*

Tyzen:As the ship begins to land, Vek and Qotaro are able to see a majority of the city is either floating on it's side, capsized, or is just gone, most likely sunk, the surrounding ocean has a red tint to it from the hundreds of bodies that are either floating or have yet to be thrown in the water, there also seem to be shadows moving around in the water as creatures from the deep smell the blood that rained last night. As they look upon this destruction, recent enough for smoke to still be rising from some of the debris, Vek feels a tug on his robe as Tyzen looks at him asking

"I'm kind of nervous."

Vek:"You and me both.."

Tyzen:"Do you think she'll recognize me?"

Vek:"How long have you been separated?"

Tyzen:"Eight years."

Vek:"..And you are..."

Tyzen:"I'm eleven."

Vek:"..I'm sure it'll work out fine."

Tyzen:"The last time I saw her, I was three."

Qotaro:He blinked, looking down towards the while, as he said, "Maaaan, beeech..." Absolutely amazed

water*

Vek:"Anyway, it looks like there may be some more trouble on this planet, yet. Let's hope your mom isn't wrapped up in it.."

Tyzen:Tyzen nods before turning towards the droid he's befriended along the way and gives Bait a hug before running to the ramp of the ship, ready for it to lower

Vek:"Be careful, Tyzen."

R3-I7:"Water = bad // R3 = stay on ship?"

Vek:"Sure."

"You and bait stay on."

R3-I7:"Owner = thank you"

Vek:"Chip probably should, too."

Chip:Chip looks to Vek and back to Qotaro before looking back to Vek and saying

"Master go, I go."

B8-G6:"I agree, master Vek, I don't believe I will just cause you more trouble if I go out there."

I believe*

Tyzen:"Bye bait, bye R3."

R3-I7:"Tyzen = bye"

B8-G6:"Good bye, master Tyzen, it was nice having you."

Chip:Chip just stares at Tyzen

Vek:He just shrugs at Chip and goes to stand near the ramp, waiting

Qotaro:"Hmmm... water... droid... gabba..." He rubs is head

Vek:"Q, he should stay and guard the ship, I don't know if we can handle watching out for him."

Qotaro:He nods, "Chip, on ship. Gabba gabba, water no good..."

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Chip looks towards the ramp, keeping his gun in his hands, already on guard

B8-G6:"Good luck out there, Masters."

Qotaro:He nods, making sure he had his stuff set up, ready to head out

Tyzen:Duga begins to regain his strength from the nearly all night of fighting he just finished, he sees the rusty, old worn out ship land and within just a few minutes see the ramp on it's back lower with a child zabrakian run out, followed by a robed human, wearing similar but not identical, robes as him, and a smaller person wearing identical robes as the human, as they overlook the destruction of the city, several of it's citizens run to cover, cowering at the sight of them, Tyzen responding by looking to Vek in confusion, not understanding the people's reaction

responds by*

Vek:"Beats me, kid.." He looks around at everyone, before spotting Duga, and, drawing the Zabrakian connection, starts to head over

Duga:As people approach, he pulls his hood over his head

Qotaro:"Mom!"

He points at Duga

Duga:"I am not your mother."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, and points at Tyzen

Human:With Tyzen just behind him, Vek and Qotaro can't help but notice people make way as they head towards Duga

Duga:"I can say with certainty that I am no one's mother."

Qotaro:"No, mom."

"Gabba."

Tyzen:"Do you know where mine is."

"People call her a sith."

Tyzen asks, stepping out from behind Vek

Duga:He looks over the child "She is something alright." he sighs and stands

Qotaro:"... Gabba ga."

Tyzen:Duga recalls Edove has left the ruins, going to find the other part of the city that has slowly floated away since she first tore the city in half

Duga:"The one that rules this planet is gone. When she returns, I can arrange a meeting. Hopefully."

Tyzen:"Rules?"

Vek:"...Who exactly are you, then?"

Unknown:Makes a Thievery Check! (17)

Vek:Perceives! (89)

Duga:"Just a traveler." He glances at their ship "Looking for a way off of the planet, in fact."

Unknown:One of the people who ran in cover jumps out a few meters behind the newly arrived group and throws a piece of debris, yelling

"Leave us alone you damned sith!"

Attacks! (41)

Vek:Defends! (126)

He punches the debris

Unknown:The debris is dust, as the man falls to his knees, tears filling his eyes as he puts his hands together

"Please.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

"Please, don't hurt me or my family."

Qotaro:He looks to the man, as he growls, and yells, "GAAAHHH!"

Vek:"I don't even know what the fuck a sith is, calm down."

Qotaro:He then starts to reach for his blaster

Vek:"Q, no."

Qotaro:He has his hand resting on the blaster's handle, but he stops

Vek:"No gabba."

Qotaro:"... Gatcha."

Unknown:The man faints at the sight of the demon that just growled, screamed, and pranked him

Tyzen:"Wait.. That's what they call my mom."

Tyzen looks back to Duga

"Did she do this?"

Duga:"Partially."

Vek:"..But, I mean, do we know the woman you're talking about is his mom?"

Qotaro:"Mom no gabba?"

Duga:"She is the only Iridonian of this planet that I know of."

Qotaro:"... No gabba."

Duga:Sith*

Tyzen:"Why?"

Qotaro:"Gatcha ba."

He looks around, shakes his head, and says, "Beeeetch."

Duga:"She fought an uprising. It was a display of power that I have yet to see in my life."

Vek:"Clearly."

Tyzen:"When will she be back?"

Duga:"Soon enough."

Human:A feminine voice calls out the group from behind, saying in a angry tone

"After all of this, you still gather members to your cult?"

"Why?"

"Why can't you just leave us be?"

Vek:"Look, lady."

"I ain't part of no cult."

Qotaro:He starts grinding his teeth under his mask, as he lets out a very low, deep, "Gaaah..."

Vek:"Right, Q?"

Human:"Oh, no."

"You can't fool us."

"We know you're apart of the sith, and Duga, we know that you aren't the warrior we thought you were."

Qotaro:He then jumps up,

"GAAAHHH!"

Vek:"QOTARO!"

Qotaro:He points at her, "NO!"

"NO GABBA GA! GARBA, OOOOH, NOOO!"

"GATCHA, NOO, OOOO, OHOHO!"

"NO!"

"BETCH!"

Human:"All of you, you're just cowards working in the shadows!"

"We won't take it!"

Vek:"Say that to my face!"

Qotaro:He looks at her, as he then just puts his hands up, fisticuffs style

Human:"If you want to kill us, then kill us, but we will not sit back and let you plot while we rebuild our homes!"

Vek:"L-"

Qotaro:"..."

Vek:"I literally have no idea what the fuck is going on here."

Qotaro:he sighs, and puts his hands down, "No gabba."

Vek:"We just landed."

Human:A few more humans stand and get behind the woman talking

"Leave."

Vek:"No!"

Qotaro:"Betch!"

Human:"Then the war has yet to end."

Vek:"W-"

Qotaro:He blinks, "Gabba?"

Vek:"Look, think about your next moves very carefully."

"We are men with a very particular set of skills."

Tyzen:"I just want to know where my mom is!"

Vek:"You going to deny a baby boy his mother!?"

"You monsters!"

Human:"You are the monsters."

"We thought you were our friends, family."

Duga:He takes his seat again

Qotaro:He grips his blaster's handle tightly, "Gaahh..."

Vek:"I don't know you."

Human:"I'm Sydney from 123 oera ya."

Qotaro:"Gibberish."

Duga:"It is a worthless argument. They won't listen. Force would be the next step, and I am too weary to apply it."

Vek:"..."

"Mother fucker, I'm from Tatooine, I don't know what the hell you're saying."

Human:The group stops, looking between each other before taking a step back

"Where did you say?"

The female speaker asks

Qotaro:"Tatooine!" He said, pointing at them

Vek:"I don't know if you are blind but my brother here is a jawa."

Human:"Oh.. Oh, my god.. We were wrong."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"It was fate."

The female says as the slowly forming group around her take out robes, similar to Vek's, Qotaro's, and Duga's, putting them on before saying

"We thought Duga was our awaited master."

Qotaro:He blinks, confused, "G-.. gatcha?"

Duga:He stands

Vek:"Okay, no."

"Stop."

Duga:"So there were more of you."

Vek:"Whatever you're doing, just forget about it."

Duga:He starts toward her

Vek:"Hey, you too."

Qotaro:He nods, "Ga."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"Seeing that we were failing in our prophecy, we thought something must have been wrong."

"And that was right."

"We had the wrong master."

Vek:"Pro-"

"No."

"Stop."

"You're fucking crazy."

Qotaro:He pulls out his blaster, and shakes his head, "No gabba."

The Way of the Wet Sith:The crowd of people bow to a knee

"Please, accept us, master."

Duga:"This is tiresome."

Qotaro:"No."

Duga:He draws and slashes at her

Vek:"HEY!"

Qotaro:He points his blaster up, as he sighs, "Oh, gabba ga."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"No!"

The woman is slain as the group continues to stay kneed

Tyzen:"Vek, what's happening?"

Vek:"Some dumb bullshit."

Duga:"You have no idea."

The Way of the Wet Sith:"Master Vek, take however many of us that you must, please, kill those you deem as weak."

One of the men in the crowd say as the rest begin chanting

Vek:"F-"

"Stop."

"This is your last warning."

Qotaro:He nods, "Gabba."

Duga:He stands there, holding his saber out "How many cultists are there?"

The Way of the Wet Sith:The people continue their chanting, awaiting Vek's approval

Vek:He blinks, just now recognizing Duga had a lightsaber "Wait a second.."

He points at Duga "What's going on here?"

Tyzen:"You're a forceful too?"

Tyzen says, standing behind Vek as the chanting continues

Duga:"Zealots that follow improper teachings."

Vek:"That's a little bit vague, pal."

"There a reason you just...killed her?"

Duga:"They slaughtered the city wantonly. That should explain enough."

Vek:"Wait.."

"They did this?"

The Way of the Wet Sith:One of the men stop their chanting, saying

"No, we simply followed the wrong man."

Vek:"You are not part of this."

Qotaro:He shoots the cultist that opened their mouth up

The Way of the Wet Sith:The man takes out a dagger and seppukus himself

The man is shot dead before he had the chance to seppuku himself, the dagger falling out of his hand as he falls

Vek:He coughs and steps up

Qotaro:He points at the others more intensely, and says, "Gabba, no talk!"

Vek:"Alright.."

"Every last one of you are Unworthy."

Duga:He smiles at that

Qotaro:He nods, "Gathca, no good."

"Trash."

The Way of the Wet Sith:The chanting stops, dead as tension fills the air

Moments pass as everyone stands, taking out daggers and other sharp objects

Vek:He reaches into his robes, cautiously

Qotaro:He points his blaster at them, ready

Duga:He raises his blade above his head

The Way of the Wet Sith:They all then begin to stab themselves, stomach, chest, neck, doesn't matter, as long as they are assured dead

Qotaro:"Ooooh. Gatcha."

Vek:"...I think I'm gonna be sick.."

Qotaro:He looks over them, as he says, "Oooh..."

Vek:He looks to see if there are any non batshit cultist people left

Duga:He puts away his saber, returning to his sitting spot

Tyzen:Tyzen watches as the men and women, a few kids even, kill themselves as Vek has judged them, unworthy

Vek:"Those people lost their damn minds.."

Qotaro:"Gabba." He said, as he put his blaster back up

Human:A few people, far less than when they first arrived, still sit in their hiding places as the end of the cult is finally seen through

One of them call out, unknown as to which one or where from as his voice echoes

"So.. You aren't with them?"

Qotaro:"... Gah."

Vek:"No."

"We aren't with them."

"I'm still not completely sure what's going on here, and I'm starting to get sick of it."

"What just happened? That was fucked up."

Duga:"As I said, zealots. They were followers of an abomination of a philosophy."

Human:The remaining people continue to stay hidden

Edove:As Duga says this, Edove is finally seen stepping into view as she says, very sternly

"Duga... Explain."

Qotaro:He looks up, "Mom?!"

Vek:"Oh, what the fuck no- oh."

"...." He looks at her, and then at Tyzen, squinting

"...I don't see it."

Qotaro:He blinks, looking at her, before looking back over at Tyzen too, nodding, "No gabba."

Duga:"Likely the last of them. Dead. thanks to this one." He motions toward Vek

Tyzen:Tyzen stares at Edove, every time he goes to speak he seems to choke and stop, unable to get himself to make a sound

Qotaro:"... Eh... hey... hey." He said, patting Tyzen's back, making she he wasn't choking

Edove:Edove looks to Vek

"Is that so?"

Vek:"Uh...I guess."

"They kinda did it to themselves."

Edove:"Well, either way, I take it that ship on our last port is yours?"

Vek:"That would be correct."

Edove:"Hmm.. Sorry you had to come at such a bad time, but our city recently had a plague of stupidity."

Qotaro:"Gatcha."

Edove:"One that caused my people to follow Duga's broken teachings, one that caused my city to crumble and one that caused Duga any chance he had at a life here."

Qotaro:"No good."

Vek:he looks at Duga

Duga:"I cannot help that my words were twisted into something terrible."

"I believe we've had this discussion before."

Edove:"A discussion that I do not care to repeat."

Duga:"Agreed."

Vek:"Look, there's more important things at hand here."

Qotaro:He nods, "Mom."

Vek:"We're looking for Tyzen's mom, have you seen her?"

Edove:Edove glances to Duga before going back to Vek and pausing as he says this

Paleness grows over her as she says

"Tyzen.. Is not a name I've heard in.. Many years."

Qotaro:"Gabba?"

Tyzen:Tyzen tries to step up however finds himself unable to move

Vek:"Like...carry the 2... eight or so years?"

Edove:"Yes.. I presume the young boy behind you is him?"

Qotaro:"..."

"W-... OH!"

Vek:"The one and only."

Qotaro:He smacks his hand, "Gabba!"

He points at Duga, "Fatha?"

Edove:Edove slowly walks to the frozen zabrakian before bending down, looking him in the eyes and saying

"I'm sorry, my young friend."

"But your mother died a heroic death."

Vek:"N-'

Qotaro:"... w-..."

Tyzen:Tears fill Tyzen's eyes as he starts choking, coughing as he begins to find it hard to breath as his feelings take control of him

Edove:"She was the one who helped me escape my imprisonment."

"She unfortunately died shortly after."

Qotaro:"... Oh..."

Edove:"A young man who also escaped with us by the name of Leats, tried to make this planet his head quarters as he started to grow a resistance. She told him no, this is a planet of peace, but then he killed her."

"By the time I got the news of their fight and her death, Leats had already left the planet."

Qotaro:"Leats? Trash."

Edove:"I'm sorry, Tyzen."

Vek:"...."

Duga:"How unfortunate."

Qotaro:He looks to Tyzen

Vek:He goes to put a hand on Tyzen's shoulder

Tyzen:As Vek does this, Tyzen pulls away, tears running down his face as he's still having trouble breathing in between his sobs

After pulling away from Vek, Tyzen turns and begins running away from the group, jumping from floating debris to floating debris, trying to get away as fast as he can from them

Qotaro:"... Gatcha."

Edove:Watching Tyzen leave, Edove stands with a sadden expression

"She didn't talk much about her son, but if he's anything like her, he'll be able to move on."

Vek:"...."

Qotaro:He nods, "Gatcha ga."

Edove:Edove looks back to Vek

"So you're his guardian?"

Vek:"It's a.."

"It's complicated."

Edove:"I see, well, I know you're not the father. He was a zabrakian, a strong one at that."

Vek:"Hey, I'm strong too."

Qotaro:He nods, "Gatcha ga."

Edove:"I would hope so."

"Zabrakians are already stronger than humans, you'll need some extra strength if you intend on raising him."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No. No stronger."

He then turns and looks over, "... Gaaaah."

Edove:"I would offer to take your place but.. I don't believe I would make the best parent."

Duga:He chuckles at that

Edove:Edove glances at Duga

"You find something funny about all of this?"

Duga:His eyes twinkle from within his hood "It is a strange image. The woman who can crumble cities and summon storms having trouble with a child."

Edove:"Power is not all there is in life, Duga. Hopefully you will discover that."

Duga:"Perhaps."

Edove:"Duga, you're a male zabrakian."

"How old were you when you lost your parents?"

Vek:He runs his hands over the lightsaber in his robe, contemplating

Duga:"Younger than memory can serve."

Edove:Edove looks back to Vek and says

"He got over it and he's not the brightest zabrak I've met, I'm sure Tyzen will be able to push his feeling back, or he'll use them."

Vek:he nods a bit, and looks her over "So, you're a sith, correct?"

Duga:"If it weren't for the fact you could rip me in half on a whim, I might take offense." He chuckles

Edove:For his sake, Edove ignores Duga's comment

"That's what I've been called."

"Leats was the one who spread the name though."

Vek:he crosses his arms "Tell me about Leats."

Edove:"He was a good man."

Vek:"Doesn't really sound like it."

Edove:"Always had.. different ways but he meant well. Always wanted the best for people, not individually, but as a whole. That's where we differed."

"While I disagreed with his methods and some of his philosophies, he always made sense."

"Tyzen's mother simply wanted peace, so she can one day bring him and his father here, to get away from all the hardships they continuously faced."

"Leats wanted the same, but on a more grander scale."

"He always talked about his uncle and how he was slowly taking over the galaxy, building armies and finding forcefuls to take under his wing."

"Leats didn't agree with his uncle's ways.. So he was imprisoned with us, other forcefuls that didn't side with his uncle."

Edove:"When he escaped and made sure the rest of the escaped prisoners were safe, he began plotting and forming alliances. Making one of the five major cities on this planet his base of operations."

"Unfortunately, his uncle was sure to discover this so Tyzen's mother went to him, pleading for him to stop and just live."

"That is the last thing I know happened."

"By the time I made it to the city, it was destroyed, and one of the survivors explained what happened."

Vek:"...I see..." He rubs his chin

Edove:"If Tyzen goes after vengeance, please, at least try to get a reason for why he killed her."

Vek:"Yea, I will."

"How strong is this Leats?"

Edove:"I was a mere shadow in the image of Tyzen's mother, and Leats was far beyond both of us, I doubt that even with all of the damage they caused, she was actually able to wound him too bad."

"I'm sure that if you haven't heard of him by now, he's either dead or about to make his move."

Vek:"I haven't heard of a lot of things, to be fair."

"I'm kind of out of the loop."

Edove:"Well, it seems we are all just a bunch of non loopers."

Edove says before she looks back to her people

"It's okay! They're friends!"

Vek:"What's your name?"

Edove:"Edove."

Vek:"Do you think Tyzen will be safe, Edove?"

Edove:"That depends. How tough is he?"

Vek:he thinks for a second

"Really tough."

Edove:"Think some.. What'd you call your fallen followers Duga?"

Edove questions, looking down from her people to Duga

Duga:"Idiots."

Edove:"There was a word for them that you seem to like but that works well enough."

Looking over her shoulder back to Vek, Edove asks

"Think he can take on a couple of idiots?"

Vek:"..Yea."

Edove:"Then he'll be fine as long as he doesn't go in the water."

Duga:"Trust me. Stay out of the water."

Edove:"Unfortunately, the recent civil war we've had has stirred the water. Creatures have come around here and it's become unsafe, even for warriors as tough as Marko."

Vek:"Alright..well, I think it best that I locate him before an ill fate does it first."

"But first, I have a request."

Edove:"So do I."

Vek:"O- uh..okay. You first."

Edove:"Take Duga with you. While he has helped us in our Tempo seiatst, he was the cause of the destruction you see around you and he must leave."

"As soon as possibly."

"You're the fastest way off the planet for him."

"Stay as long as you wish, just when you leave, please."

"Accept one more passenger."

"Relieve me of the headache known as Duga."

Duga:"Lady Edove, you're leaving me heartbroken." He places a hand on his chest, over the bandage that covers the hole to his heart

Edove:"No, I believe someone else did that for me."

"Though I will admit, I have been known to do that."

Duga:He rises from his seat

Vek:"Then I will place my request.." he says, as he goes to pull his curved lightsaber out from his robes, holding it out to his side, as he looks to her "Just having one of these has helped me enough in the past, but after everything on Zhar, and hearing of this news...I want you to give me some proper training." He then eyes her at her last comment

Edove:Still looking at Vek, Edove stares with confusion

"Well.. This is new."

Duga:He cackles a bit "That was something even a seer could not see coming."

Edove:"Most of the men in the city have too much pride to ask a woman for help."

Vek:"I'm sure a woman of your stature could teach me many things." He says, doing a slight bow, still holding tight to his saber

Edove:"I'm sure I could."

She says, turning back to Vek and Qotaro, continuing

"As I said, you can stay as long as you wish and I can teach you in my off time, however as you can see, my city needs rebuilding so unlike a few days ago, my spare time has been limited to only a few hours a night. If you agree to help me and my people, I will promise to teach you what I can."

Vek:He nods, putting his saber up for now "First, I must locate Tyzen, then, we will help as we can. Isn't that right, Duga?"

Duga:"That is what I am here for."

PAGE 14: Drexel pt.3 // END

PAGE 15: Vek // START

Narrator:With his newly gained ship being the fastest he's every been on, Olivar lands on Zhar within a matter of days to be greeted by R4 explaining that Solstice has yet another message for him

Olivar:*He just points at R4I

Solstice:With Olivar's okay, R4 plays the messages, although unlike the previous ones, this is just a voice recording of her saying

"When you discover where this forceful is, send me their coordinates, do not engage."

Olivar:He's spinning in his chair

R4-K8:Static follows this before the recording stops and R4 watches Olivar's spin

Olivar:He stops spinning and just looks out the window into space

"..."

He realizes that he's no longer in space, and stands

"Well, where'd she say this contact would be?"

R4-K8:"Contact = Jurrda's Tip // Jurrda's Tip = cantina"

Olivar:He walks out of the cockpit and looks to Talz "Alright, Deputy, we're all coming out on this one."

R4-K8:"Talz = damn it"

Talz:"Oh, sparkin oils on smooth metal! I'm right behind you, Goss!"

Olivar:He salutes "Let's go."

Talz:Talz follows Olivar, who follows Kait to the cantina known as Jurrda's Tip

R4-K8:As they enter the cantina that is packed, the most full place Olivar has seen in a while with him unable to move anywhere without brushing against someone else, Kait whistles out

"Contact = bar tender"

Olivar:He pushes his way through the crowd do the bar

"Geez..."

R4-K8:Kait stays by the door, as it can't seem to make it's way into the cantina

Talz:Talz however, shoves anyone that tries to keep him away from his Goss

Bartender:Making his way to the bar, the tender says

"Yea, it's packed like this almost every night."

"Tough work but good money, speaking of which, what are ya' buy'in?"

Olivar:"I was told that something went down here not that long ago, and I should talk to you about it."

Bartender:".. I don't think so."

The bartender's eyes squint as he says this*

Olivar:"You sure? Ah, well, sorry for wasting your time. I'll take a Summer Solstice."

Bartender:The bartender stares at Olivar for a few seconds before nodding and saying

"Well, seeing as how we don't sale that, I take it that was suppose to be some sort of code for telling me you're with Solstice. The person you're looking for isn't me, she's over there."

With that the bartender points towards the stormtrooper in the back of the cantina, sitting at a table, drinking alone

Olivar:"Thank you." He nods, and walks over

"I was told you have some information."

Stormtrooper:"Go away."

Olivar:"...fat chance. Solstice sent me. What do you know that I need to know?"

Stormtrooper:The trooper looks to Olivar, taking her helmet off, saying

"Oh.. You're the guy."

"I thought you would take longer."

Olivar:"So did I."

Stormtrooper:"Well, what do I know, I know the piece of shit jawa lover that killed my brother isn't on this planet and that his ship is named the Ural."

Olivar:"What does it look like?"

Jalj:"Some floating junk yard, beige with a yellow stripe. Has the words Ural written on the side, that's how I know it's name"

Olivar:He nods "What all did they do why they were here?"

Jalj:"Well, as far as I've been able to link they got into a fight and robbed a droid shop, the crazy little jawa bastard killed and tortured like seven people there."

"It wasn't until I saw the back that I realized why the Jaqua hate them so."

Olivar:He nods, having no idea what a Jaqua is "Well, do you know where they are heading?"

Vek:Makes a Thievery Check! (-1)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (128)

Jalj:Perceives! (116)

"All that was found of him was a leg."

Olivar:"Excuse me?"

Jalj:She nods for a moment getting lost in thought before looking back to Olivar, coming back to the moment

"My partner, my brother, Mairc."

"That's all that we could find after they blew him up."

"He was assaulted by one of those little zabrakian pieces of hoolith and when he went to defend himself, what did they do? They fucking jumped him, all three of them."

"If I ever got the chance."

"I'd shove my blaster right down their throats."

Olivar:"...uh huh..."

Jalj:"But you asked what they did while they were here?"

"There is no physical evidence that supports the fight, however there is a video that captures not only the name of the nasty little hooded jawa but his lover as well."

Olivar:He jumps a little "Wha- where is this footage?!" He's ready to see these violent criminals he's heard so much about

Jalj:Jalj brings a holotape out from beside her and sets it on the table

"I even got the place where they're headed."

"A local bounty hunter found out they accepted a zabrakian kid who's been asking around for a ride to Drexel."

"The same kid that attacked my partner."

Olivar:"FUCKING FINALLY! A REAL LEAD!"

Jalj:Jalj pushes the tape towards Olivar and says*

"Take it, find them, and when you do."

"Put a blaster bolt in their heads."

"And make sure you crush both of the zabrak's hearts."

"They deserve the worst fate you can deliver them."

With that, a tear runs down Jalj's face before she falls face first on the table, passing out

Olivar:He slowly slides the holotape over, puts it in his pocket, looks around, and heads out

R4-K8:Olivar leads Kait and Talz back to the ship before he activates the holotape which shows him both the inside and outside of the droidshop, and everything that happened in them, including Qotaro saying his name and telling Chip's Vek's, and how the entire thing in the droid shop was Qotaro defending himself from a person who was already robbing the store. He is also able to see the zabrakian kid that made such a fuss on the planet

PAGE 15: Vek // END

PAGE 16: Drexel pt.4 // START

Narrator:Olivar sits in his chair as the holotape plays for a second time as he's nearing the planet, yet to tell Solstice that the forceful he's been chasing is on Drexel, or at least so he thinks

Human:It's at this time that the woman comes from the back with the gun

"Took forever to find this thing. We really should organize better. So, one thousand creds."

Qotaro:"Utinni!" He said, going and giving her the thousand creds

Human:As he gets the credits out the girl points the blaster at him and says

"Actually, I don't think that's enough. I'll take all of it."

Qotaro:"GAAAHH!"

He pulls his blaster and shoot her first

Human:"What?!"

She tries to duck under the counter but is shot before she can

"Ow!"

She says as she hits the deck

"You little shit! I was going to let you leave with your life. But now."

Qotaro:He hops up and tries to shoot her again

Human:"Wait!"

She slides out of the way as Qotaro can now see two dead bodies behind the counter along with another woman tied up. She fires the rifle at Qotaro

Qotaro:"W-..."

"GAH!"

He dives to the side and goes to shoot at her again mid-air

Human:"Ah!"

the woman yells again before firing back at Qotaro

Qotaro:"GAH!"

• He yells as he gets hit mid roll, before gritting his teeth, "Bacha!"

"AAHH!"

"BITCH!"

He starts rapid firing back at her

Human:The woman manages to dodge all of the blasts before retaliating

Qotaro:"GAH!"

He ducks under it, and keeps firing at her

Human:The fire fight continues

Several seconds pass as the blasts continue, Qotaro taking no damage as the girl gets five shots

The woman falls back, a few of her fingers go flying off as she is left on the brink of death

She manages to awake however isn't really able to do much with one of her ears having been burnt off from one of the blasts. All she can get herself to do is moan

Qotaro:He goes to untie the woman

Human:After untying the woman she ungaggs herself saying

"About time you stupid fucking creature!"

Qotaro:He lifts his blaster to her face and fires

Human:As he goes pull up the blaster, she starts to scream before a hole appears in her head, causing her to fall limp

Qotaro:"Utinni."

He then goes to tie up the other woman

Human:"No."

Is the only word she is able to muster, barely breathing as her organs are slowly dying

Qotaro:"..."

He just lifts his blaster towards her face and fires

He then goes to grabbing some stuff, before going to try and activate that B1 Droid

Chip:Having previous knowledge of droids and how they work, it takes no time for Qotaro to activate the old droid. As it turns on it says

"Hello, my name is Chip. I am a B1 battle droid."

Qotaro:"Ah!" He holds his hands out, "Gabba!" He points at himself and says, "Qotaro! New master!"

He then walks over and grabs Chip's gun, and goes to walk back over

Chip:Chip watches his new master grab the gun and carry it back over

"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:"Utinni!"

He then hands him the gun, and says,

"Come! Meet Qotaro's brother, Vek. Other droids, too."

Chip:It's at this time that Qotaro can hear Vek call out his name

"Roger! Roger!"

R4-K8:In the middle of the holotape, Kait rolls next to Olivar and asks

"R4 = contact Solstice?"

Lyndon Johnson:"..."

Olivar:*"..."

"No."

R4-K8:"Olivar = breaking rules"

"Olivar = going to be in trouble"

Olivar:"Do you want to be freed or not?"

R4-K8:"Kait = yes // Mission = freedom"

Olivar:He stands "I'm not so sure I believe that."

"She didn't know that Vek and the Ural were at Zhar. She sent us after another target entirely."

R4-K8:"Olivar = true"

Olivar:"That seems to imply that the mission after the Ural really didn't guarantee your freedom."

R4-K8:"..."

The beeps stop for a good minute

Olivar:He continues to look out into space

R4-K8:"Kait = wants freedom // Next mission = freedom // This mission = next mission"

Olivar:"...how long have you been working for Solstice?"

R4-K8:"Time = four years"

"Kait = ready to move on"

Olivar:"Do you really expect her to just...let you go?"

R4-K8:"Solstice = keeps word"

Olivar:"...the closest thing to freedom you're going to get is a hard drive wipe...and the closest for me's a bullet..."

He clenches a fist

"When will we arrive at the planet."

R4-K8:"Solstice = keeps word for Kait // Olivar = forceful // Forceful = different rules"

"Planet = ten minutes"

Olivar:He nods

As Olivar enters the planet's atmosphere and begins towards the city , he finds that the sun is just now coming out, reveling the previously pitch dark decaying city. From the inside of the city remains, Duga, having already had to sleep outside, sees the bright lights of the ship as it comes down. It's not until this time that Vek is seen for the first time since the night prior, exiting Edove's home after a night of training among, among other things. Qotaro is awoken to by the lights piercing through the windows of the Ural. Beside Duga lays Marko who has been in a slight coma since their fight. All of the the Ural's bots have shut themselves off to save energy as the Ural doesn't output enough for them to be fully charged

Vek:He shields his eyes a bit, as he looks over the ship "The hell is it now.."

Duga:He stands from his meditation position

Qotaro:"Gaaah..." He said, quietly, rubbing his eyes, and peaking out the window

R4-K8:R4 beeps as the ship hovers over some water as it's landing gear lowers

"Ship = autopilot"

Olivar:"...okay?"

R4-K8:Suddenly the ship turns off and drops to the water

R4 whistles

Qotaro:"... Gabba."

Olivar:"...you couldn't have just FUCKING PUT IT INTO HOVER?!"

Vek:"Oh, shit."

Olivar:"You retarded ass robot!"

Duga:"Hm.."

R4-K8:"Kait = no"

"Kait = not a pilot"

Qotaro:He keeps watching, blinking

Olivar:He jumps up, rushing around, waking up Talz "WE'RE UNDER WATER!" HE looks to K8 "IT'S A FUCKING FLIGHT MODE!"

Qotaro:"No gabba... no gabba..."

Olivar:"Just press a god damn button!"

Duga:He starts for the edge the water with haste, motioning Vex if he catches sights of him

Vek:He nods and heads over with Duga

R4-K8:"Kait = don't know much about ships"

Duga:Vek*

Talz:Talz wakes up and looks to Talz

"Oh, oil spills!"

"What are we going to do, Goss!?"

Duga:Once at the edge, he tries to see if the ship is still in sight

Talz:The cockpit is the only part of the ship that's still out of the water, as it's quickly sinking

R4-K8:R4 is still whistling

Olivar:He starts to communicate with telepathy to anyone that isn't in the ship "CAN YOU USE THE FORCE?!"

Duga:He looks to Vek "Ready?"

Vek:"Ready?"

Olivar:He puts his hands on the bottom of the ship "ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO TRY SOMETHING!"

Duga:He holds out a hand at the ship, channeling the force to try and pull it up

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Vek:He thinks for a moment, and puts his hand on Duga's Shoulder

Vek Uses Mind Meld!

Duga:Uses the Force! (141)

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Vek:Uses the Force! (139)

Olivar:Uses the Force! (159)

Talz:The ship begins to lift out of the water, with the joint efforts of the three forcefuls

"I can't swim, goss."

"Just go on without me."

"I've lived a full life."

"One that any Talz would be happy to live."

Olivar:Blood is running out of his nose "SHUT UP! YOU AREN'T DYING!"

R4-K8:"Olivar = don't leave Kait"

Talz:"I'll be okay, Goss."

Olivar:"R4, PUT IT ON HOVER!"

Talz:Talz takes a seat and smiles as he closes his eyes, ready to be one with the force

Qotaro:He blinked, still watching out the window

R4-K8:Kait goes to the ship control area and sticks it's hand in the ship to work on it

Olivar:He struggles to get to the cargo bay door "TELL ME...WHEN IT'S OUT OF THE WATER!"

Talz:Talz is still awaiting the water's cool embrace as R4 is still working on the ship's systems

R4-K8:After a few seconds, R4 beeps

"Ship = out of water"

Olivar:He hits the button to open the cargo bay door

Duga:His arm shakes slightly "This cannot go on much longer."

R4-K8:The cargo opens and Olivar sees they are just barley out of the water as the tip of the ramp touches the dark ocean below

Olivar:"TALZ, GET OVER HERE!"

Qotaro:"... Gabba."

Talz:"Oh, no Goss. Save yourself."

"I'm okay."

Qotaro:He then walks out of the ship and starts walking over, thinking

Olivar:"GOD DAMNIT, HURRY!"

Qotaro:He looks at the ramp of their ship, thinking, once he gets there

Talz:Talz gets up and with his eyes once again open, walks over

"Yes sir, Goss?"

Olivar:He chucks Talz with the force

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (146)

Talz:Toughs it Out! (65)

Talz is thrown to the other side of the Ural

R4-K8:Kait is still trying to get the ship on hover but is having a lot of trouble

Olivar:He looks to K8, and then jumps

He looks one more time "...GOD DAMNIT!" He goes to fling her to the platform too

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (155)

R4-K8:Toughs it Out! (71)

She continues to try and set the ship in hover mode however when she hears the splash of water from Olivar jumping, she looks over and realizing her partner has abandoned her, a sad beep erupts before she is suddenly picked up and flown out of the ship, over to the land along with the others

Olivar:He starts swimming again

Talz:Coming back over from the other side of the Ural, Talz watches Olivar swim to the shore as the ship has been slowly lowering, Duga and Vek having an increasingly hard time at keeping it up

"Oh, sparks, Goss!"

"That was a close one"

Duga:"Is that everyone?"

Olivar:He angrily climbs onto the platform, and just points to R4 "You owe me. If I even sense any disloyalty, you are dead."

He pulls up his face mask, spitting out blood and water

R4-K8:"Olivar = tried to leave me // Olivar = go eat a Wompa"

Olivar:"Yes. That's ever-"

R4-K8:"Partnership = over"

Olivar:He tosses her into the ocean

Duga:He releases the ship

R4-K8:Kait is thrown into the water

Vek:He releases along with Duga "What th-"

Talz:Talz jumps in after her

Vek:"Why'd you do that?"

Olivar:He grabs Talz with the force

"Don't."

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Talz:Toughs it Out! (59)

Olivar:Uses the Force! (128)

Talz:Talz is unable to save his friend as he watches Kait quickly sink to the bottom of the ocean

A tear comes to his eye as he looks to Olivar and with a squint he asks

"Why?"

Olivar:"Keeping her any longer jeopardized the both of us! I didn't want to do it, I gave her a chance, damnit!"

Talz:"No."

"You gave her a command."

Olivar:"Talz, you don't understand!"

Talz:"You don't understand."

Qotaro:"... Gabba?"

Talz:"Droids have rights too."

Olivar:"You don't think I fucking think that?! HUH?! God damnit, Talz! She was a living tracker! I heard it from Solstice's mouth, she was tracking the droid! You were there! She either conscripts or kills forcefuls!"

"I gave her a chance!"

Duga:"I hate to interrupt but I would believe you owe us, now."

Talz:"She didn't have a choice to be tracked."

Olivar:"...You obviously don't hate to interrupt if you did, huh?"

He looks back to Talz "I-I-I-I had a plan! I was going to find someone! To remove the tracker! But what did she do?!"

Qotaro:"..." He shakes his head, "Gabba ga."

Olivar:"She said partnership over!"

Talz:"You left her."

Olivar:"I SAVED HER!"

Talz:"After a change of heart."

Olivar:"Does it fucking matter?!"

Talz:"I don't know what to think of you anymore, Goss."

Qotaro:"Gaaah... No gabba ga!"

Vek:"What the fuck even is this?"

Qotaro:"Goss? No ga."

Olivar:"I think we're fucked! That's what I think!"

Qotaro:he looks at their ship and nods, "Yes."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "I've been searching this entire quadrant of the galaxy for you..."

Qotaro:"... No ga?"

Vek:"I'm flattered, but you're about a day late."

Olivar:He's breathing heavily "...Wh-what?"

Talz:Talz looks back to the water and says

"I'm sorry little friend."

Olivar:"What?"

Vek:He waves it off "I'm joking. So who wants us dead?"

Olivar:"A-An entire army!"

Vek:"...Of Jaquas?"

Olivar:"What? No, god damnit!"

Vek:"Phew."

Talz:Talz looks back to the group and let's his partner continue to talk

Qotaro:He nods, "Jaquas no good."

Olivar:"I don't even know what that is..b-but no! Holy shit...where do I start?!"

"So, there's this guy claiming to be the new Emperor! His name is...Lord Leat!"

Vek:"L-"

"Leat!?"

Olivar:"Somehow this girl named Solstice works for him...and she controls a god damn army, has contacts with every stormtrooper group I've ran across so far."

Vek:"Stormtro-"

"no.."

Olivar:"I've been sent on planets from Zhar, Socorro, Orvax, fucking everywhere!"

"There was always someone!"

Vek:"...."

"So.."

"Are you here to kill us?"

Tyzen:Finally waking up, hearing all the commotion, Tyzen walks over and asks

"What's happening?"

Duga:He watches all of this going on with his eyes glowing from within his hood

Olivar:"I was sent here to kill you, and then I was told just to report your location...but...I knew I wasn't getting out of this alive. They round up forcefulls, either conscripting them or killing them...and well..."

He looks to his hands "...yeah."

"I knew that my peaceful sabbatical wasn't going to last long after this mission..."

Tyzen:"Who is this?"

Qotaro:He blinks when he hears the word forceful, as he looks around at everyone there

Olivar:"Solstice, Dawn Solstice...I think..."

Human:A small group of people have been watching the scene in amazement and fear

Olivar:"They're in cahoots with this gang called the Purgs, or at least they've infiltrated them..."

Qotaro:"... Gah." He shakes his head, and decides to go lay back down, now that the ship ordeal had been settled

Olivar:"...apparently the control everything south of New Covenant..."

• they

He looks to Vek "...anyways...they've been tracking you for awhile...they even gave me a holotape of a fight you got in on Zhar..."

Vek:"...Me?" He looks to Tyzen, and back to Olivar "So..uh..Goss, was it?"

Olivar:"...no, that's just...what he calls me...I'm Olivar. You're Vek, right?"

Talz:Talz looks to Qotaro and says

"You're a funny looking creature."

Olivar:"I wouldn't...do that if I were you..."

"He's, uh...he's a crazy one.."

Qotaro:He looks to Talz, and blinks

"Beeetch."

He then lays back down

Talz:"... Well, that didn't sound too pleasant."

Duga:"I must ask. Did you tell all of this to him in hopes to receive mercy when you were sent to kill him?"

Talz:Talz looks back to the group and stands in place, thinking

Vek:"Look, Duga, I don't just toss people into oceans."

Olivar:"...what? What are you, deaf?!"

"I just told you that there's a fucking army after all of us!"

Tyzen:Tyzen is just looking at whoever is talking for the moment, getting more and more confused by the situation

Duga:"One you worked for apparently."

Olivar:He puts his hand to his face "Holy shit, do you not get it?"

Vek:"Calm the hell down, man."

Olivar:"I was face with conscription to a...a psychopath, or death."

Duga:"Your mission, conscripted or not, was to harm him. Now that you have cut ties, you are left stranded. Are you hoping for pity?"

Tyzen:Tyzen gets closer to Vek with the conversation getting more and more scary

Olivar:"...it's like you think I came here with the intention of killing him, not getting help."

"We're all on the same side! At least...him and I are."

Vek:"I mean, you killed that droid pretty quick after helping it."

Olivar:"She was a tracker from Solstice who wasn't loyal at all..."

"I gave her a chance..."

Talz:"What chance?"

Olivar:"What the fuck do you mean?"

Talz:"What do you mean?"

Olivar:"I clearly said, one more chance."

Talz:"And what did she do?"

Olivar:"And she squandered it."

Talz:"How?"

Vek:"Look, look, I think everyone is a bit tense right now."

"I think we all need to take a step back and think for a moment."

Olivar:"I don't know, something about this partnership is over sounds pretty squanderish to me."

He takes a deep breath

"Alright, yeah..."

"You're right.."

Talz:"Vek, you seem like a nice guy, and I have no problem with you, but this is between Goss and I right now."

Vek:"This is the first thing that happened in the morning, all of this is a bit much."

Talz:"That doesn't mean she was going to turn you in."

Olivar:"..."

Vek:He leaves them to their lovers' quarrel

He looks back to Tyzen, and pats him on the shoulder "You holding up?"

Duga:He waves a hand dismissively as he moves on to clearing rubble

Tyzen:"Okay I guess."

Tyzen says shrugging

Olivar:He just takes a seat on the ground, needing to rest after that

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Olivar and asks Vek

"What's happening?"

"Who's that?"

Vek:"Someone who can help us find out more about Leats."

Tyzen:Something in his eyes changes when Vek says this name as he can feel a strange darkness cover the boy

Vek:He shakes him a bit "Hey!"

"Whatever that was, don't do it."

(To Vek): "Kill, kill, kill"

(To Vek): Vek begins hearing voices echo around him

Vek:He looks around a bit frantically

"What the fuck.."

He goes for his lightsaber

Duga:He glances their way before getting back to work

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back to Vek as he asks

"What?"

"Don't do what?"

Vek:"Shh."

Tyzen:He shhs

Vek:He perks his ears up

(To Vek): The voices seem to have stopped

Vek:"I don't know what you did, but, really, don't do it again."

He puts the saber back up, not having turned it on

Tyzen:"I.. I didn't do anything."

the boy says, confused and a little worried from Vek grabbing his lightsaber

Vek:he looks at Duga

"You ever hear voices?"

Duga:His eyes twinkle "In the din of battle, occasionally."

Vek:"...voices like what, though?"

Duga:"Whispers. Why do you ask?"

Tyzen:With Vek talking to Duga, he heads back to the ship

Vek:"Cause I just heard some, and I don't..think that's ever happened before. You felt that come from him too, right?" He motions toward Tyzen

Duga:He nods

"He will be powerful someday, I'd wager."

Talz:Talz walks up to the two and asks

"Are we joining you or are we still.. enemies? I'm a bit confused by all of this?"

Vek:"Do you want to be enemies?"

Duga:He just looks at Talz

Talz:"... Oh.."

Feeling nothing but possible death if the answer is wrong, Talz says in a quick uneasy fashion

"I don't believe so."

Vek:"Then we're not enemies."

Talz:"But.. Are we friends?"

Vek:"I dunno, I just met you."

Duga:He looks back to Vek "Pehaps-" He looks at Talz again

Olivar:He's still just sitting on the ground, concentrating

Talz:"Oh.. Sparks, I'm forgot my manners"

Olivar:*contemplating

Talz:"I am Talz Alzoc the third."

"Nice to meet the both of you."

"As Goss said earlier, we've been hunting you down across the southern portions of the outer rim."

Vek:"...well, let's just put that behind us."

"How'd you two meet?"

Talz:"He ran me over."

"Well.. I guess not over."

"He ran into me."

Olivar:"Weird story..."

Talz:"I was tossed in his car and he gave me a gun."

"And deputized me."

Vek:"Dep-"

"What?"

Talz:"Yes, sir, Vek."

Olivar:"We were after a serial killer- well, I was."

"Apparently the gang liked her."

Talz:"I am a official deputy of the.. Uh.. Who are we again?"

Olivar:"The East Correlian Trading Company..."

Talz:"Yes, that."

Vek:"..Never heard of em."

Talz:"Me neither."

Olivar:"They are, as the name implies, a trading company."

Talz:"But I'm a deputy."

Olivar:"I wouldn't expect you too."

Vek:"So how did you go from...that. To working for this Solstice?"

Talz:"Oh, well..."

"Uh.."

Talz looks to Olivar

"I don't know."

"We were carrying this woman and then on the way we joined this girl who wanted protection."

"Then we got a ship."

Talz:"And now we're here."

Talz looks back to Vek

"Meeting you."

"The person we've spent several days looking for."

"Well, you and your friend, Qotaro."

Vek:"He's my brother, actually."

Talz:"Why were we hunting them again?"

Talz asks, looking back to Olivar

Olivar:"We were in a cantina, looking for a ride. I got called upstairs, and there she was. I didn't know who she was yet, mind you, or I would've cut her down on the spot. She offered me a handsome sum to guard this random girl. Well, track her, with the droid."

"That handsome sum, by the way, was the ship."

Vek:"...oh."

Olivar:"I was desperate..."

Vek:"Well..uh.."

"She insure it?"

Olivar:"I hope to she has to pay out of pocket."

• remove the first to

Vek:"Well, guess that leaves you with us, huh?"

"How much money you got?"

Talz:"You could just leave us on this planet."

Olivar:"What?"

Talz:"I'm sure she'll come looking for us once Kait's tracker stops working."

Olivar:"Talz! That's a bad thing!"

Vek:"....."

Olivar:"She will murder us!"

Talz:"I thought we worked for her?"

Olivar:"W-..."

"Not anymore."

Talz:"Oh."

Olivar:"She's a very, very, very, bad person."

Talz:"Really?"

"Then we did work for her?"

Olivar:"We didn't know..."

Talz:Then why did *

Duga:"Very effective at her job though from what you tell. All the way until she hired you, anyhow."

Vek:He rubs his chin "An obvious misstep.."

"Unless she planned this from the start."

Talz:"Well, either way. We're friends now, so it doesn't matter!"

Olivar:"What? What would that accomplish?"

Narrator:Suddenly the sky fills with several ships

Olivar:"...oh shit."

Talz:"Oh.."

Duga:"That is why it matters."

Vek:"W-"

"B-"

"FUCK!"

Duga:"It is time to leave."

Talz:"I don't think they have room to land."

Vek:"EVERYONE! ON THE SHIP!"

Talz:"Even us?"

Duga:"They won't be landing." He goes for the ship

Olivar:"GET RID OF THE STRIPE!"

"Before they spot us! Quick!"

"On the ship, they know!"

Vek:"Q! Tyzen!"

Duga:"There's only one ship."

Vek:"Paint the stripe!"

Olivar:He dives into the ship "TALZ, COME ON!"

Vek:He runs for Edove's house, now

Tyzen:He looks at Vek and asks

"What?"

Duga:He stops, looking toward Vek "What are you doing?"

Edove:Only just waking a up a few moments ago, Edove is still in bed, with only the covers over her

Vek:"HEY!"

"You gotta get up!"

Duga:"The fool." He goes to get in the ship

Edove:Looking over to Vek, Edove says with a groan

"Why?"

Vek:"It's Leat's men! They're here!"

Qotaro:"Gah!" He says, sitting up, everything waking him up, as he rubbed his head, "Aahhh, gaah..."

Talz:Talz has already gotten on the ship

"Goss, I don't think we'll be able to paint it in time."

Edove:She shoots up and calls out

"What?!"

"Why?"

Olivar:"We need to paint the stripe!" He says to Qotaro

"WAIT!"

Duga:"There is no point to it. All we can do is run or fight. And I don't think this ship can fight."

Vek:"T-they sent someone to hunt us down! They've got ships all over the skies.."

Olivar:"G- you're right!"

Qotaro:"..." He rubs his head, "Gaah..." He looks out the window

Edove:"Oh, no. I knew he was close to coming back. You need to leave, now."

Edove says jumping out of the bed and to the wardrobe, getting dressed as quickly as possible

Tyzen:"What's happening?"

Vek:"Yea, I know, but what about you?"

Edove:"I'll hold him off until you're off the planet."

"Sorry I couldn't train you more."

Vek:"W-"

Olivar:"We're being attacked!"

Vek:"They're gonna kill you!"

Duga:"Prepare the ship for takeoff!"

Tyzen:Tyzen can't do anything but watch as the ships filling the sky are gathering together, obviously waiting for something

Edove:"Maybe so, but I will not leave my people."

Olivar:He looks up to the sky "What...are they doing..."

Edove:Finally putting her hood on, she looks to Vek and says

"Listen, your worries shouldn't be me. You should worry about Tyzen."

B8-G6:Baits still shut off

Duga:He runs out to grab Marko

Vek:"B-b-b-b" He can't find the words

Qotaro:"GaAAHH.."

He points at the ships in the sky, and yells, "BEEETCH!"

Chip:Chip is still off, saving energy

Olivar:He looks to Qotaro "Wha-what are they waiting for?!"

Vek:He just stands in place, looking down at his hands a bit

Narrator:The sky is slowly filling as tens of cargo ships fill the sky above the city

Qotaro:He then grumbles, pretty mad, as looks to B8, and shakes his head, before going to take a seat at the ship's controls. He then spins the chair around, and looks out the ship, seeing who was coming

Olivar:"...they're dropping troopers..."

Qotaro:"No good."

Edove:"Trust me."

She says as she walks up to Vek

"We can't take Leats. Not in our current state."

Giving him a quick kiss, she leaves what's left of her home and begins rallying her people, waking them up and warning them of the incoming war

Marko:Marko is still in his coma as Duga gets to him

Duga:He puts him over his shoulder and goes back for the ship

Vek:He holds his face a bit, watching her leave, shuddering a bit as he begins his way back for the ship

Talz:Talz begins to hyper hyperventilate as the sides of the ships start to lower, reveling hundreds of B1 battle droids

Olivar:"....WE GOTTA GO!"

Qotaro:"NO!"

Vek:His eyes widen as he starts running for the ship now "QOTARO!"

Qotaro:"DROID!"

His eyes go wide, as he thinks one thing: he wants them

Duga:He huffs next to Vek "Hurry!"

Olivar:He stands at the cargo bay door, ready to help

Vek:He nods, holding back his emotions for now and just worrying about speeding for the ship

Marko:Duga and Vek are able to make it to the ship at the same time, as they get on board, the droids start landing on the ground after jumping from the ship

Qotaro:He then narrows his eyes, getting angry, as he growls very lowly, gripping the controls tightly

(To Duga): "Run! Run! Run!"

Olivar:He closes the cargobay door

"LET'S GO!"

Qotaro:"BEEEETCH!" He yells, at the top of his lungs, before gunning it up

B1 battle droid:The droids begin opening fire at not just them but what's left of the city

Qotaro:He flies upward, gripping the controls, as he looks for a gap between the fleet of ships above them

Isadelnubo:Qotaro is able to guide the ship out of there, as they leave, Olivar is able to see Isadelnubo on one of the ships, watching them leave

(To Olivar): Olivar is able to see Isadelnubo mouth the words "Thank you."

Olivar:"..." He just stares in disbelief "...you guys...know there are two Leats, right?"

Duga:"Hm?"

Vek:He holds his head, sitting down, cursing to himself in Jawaese, as he looks out a window

Olivar:"..." He points at that guy "He works for one Leat...Solstice works for another..."

He slides down "...I think this goes deeper than just hunting...you guys..."

Edove:All who peer out the ship are able to see Edove is blocking the blasts of the droids, taking out a few before they are no longer able to see exactly what was happening

Vek:He's shaking

B8-G6:Bait finally wakes up and looks to the new crew

"Oh.. Master Vek?"

"Who are these people?"

Duga:He sighs, looking to Olivar "I have a bad feeling about this."

Vek:He doesn't respond to bait

Olivar:"...yeah..."

B8-G6:"Wait.. Master, Vek.. Who is piloting the ship?"

Qotaro:"GAAAAAAHHHH!" He's gunning it

B8-G6:Bait asks, feeling the roar of the engines as he looks to the cockpit and sees Qotaro is screaming at the droids over the radio as he was able to find their link

"Master Qotaro?!"

Olivar:He has no idea what's going on

"Why would one of the Leats come here?"

He looks to Vek and Duga

B8-G6:"I didn't know you could pi-.. And you've just been letting me.. Oh, master Qotaro, thank you."

"I thought you didn't like me."

Qotaro:"Batcha ga!"

PAGE 16: Drexel pt.4 // END

PAGE 17 // START

B8-G6:Bait is having a difficult time moving as the ship seems to be getting smaller and smaller

Talz:Talz looks to Bait and says with acceptance

"I like the way you look."

B8-G6:"Can't say the feeling is shared."

R3-I7:R3 beeps as it bumps into Tyzen

"R3 = sorry"

Vek:He's got his head low, sitting leaned against a wall

Duga:He checks over Mark, making sure the move didn't worsen his condition

Marko*

Marko:It isn't until he begins looking over him that Duga discovers Marko's eyes are open and he is looking at him

Tyzen:Fighting his way through the group, Tyzen gets up to Qotaro and asks

"Do you know where we're going?"

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No."

Duga:"Alive, are we?"

Marko:"I believe so."

Vek:"Damnit..."

Marko:With the smell of salt from the sea no longer filling his nostrils and the ceiling not being of a blue sky, but instead a ship, Marko asks

"Where are we?"

Vek:he stands up, making his way to Qotaro and Tyzen "We need to land on another civilized planet, as soon as possible."

Duga:"We have escaped the planet. It is lost."

Marko:Marko looks straight ahead to the ceiling

"The prophecy was right. You were the one to take the chosen off the planet."

"Thank you, meister, for thinking I am worthy."

Duga:"We'll see about that." He stands "For now, we shall pull our weight."

Olivar:"..." He looks to Vek "...something to know about Iskalon...that girl I was asked to track was a princess of there, I came to find out..."

"The Purgs came in and killed her father, so she escaped..."

"...I told her to get away...God, I hope she got away..."

Marko:Keeping one eye on Duga, Marko uses the other to look around the room to see Tyzen beside Qotaro, looking out to space, Bait and Talz standing next to each other as Talz continues trying to start a conversation and Bait shooting it down, and R3 sitting beside the ramp of the ship as everyone is in a tight area together

"Not a very comfortable way off the planet, but one none the less."

Olivar:He shakes his head "Regardless...there may be some form of...friendly face there, as a form of resistance, but who knows..."

"They could be all destroyed for all I know."

Talz:"Have you ever had a Doir?"

Vek:"Stop."

B8-G6:"I had-"

Vek:"No doirs."

B8-G6:Bait looks to Vek

Vek:"No talk of doirs."

B8-G6:"Yes, Master Vek."

Qotaro:"Doir trash."

Duga:"Complaining will get nowhere."

Olivar:"...when I was on Socorro...I saw a Doir kill a man and destroy his ship...a bunch of teens let it out."

Qotaro:"Doirs no good."

Vek:"Qotaro, think you can get us to Iskalon?"

Marko:"It was not a complaint, merely a observation."

Qotaro:He sighs, "Try..." He said, as he looked back, "R3, Map!"

Vek:He pauses for a moment at the news of the doir, but has too many other things on his mind to worry about it

"Bait, suggestions?"

R3-I7:The room is lit up by a blue hologram of a map

"Qotaro = yes sir"

Qotaro:He beings looking at the map, as he says, "Hmm..."

Olivar:He looks to Duga "So..who're you?"

Vek:"I don't think we can make it to Iskalon in one go..so we're going to need to stop somewhere"

B8-G6:"Well, Master Vek... If we still have the fuel from Zhar, I believe we should head to either Reuss, Vegresso, or Dom-Bradden. I don't believe we will make it too much further before we run out."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "Well, we know that Socorro has Solstice spies on it..."

Vek:"And wasn't Dom-Bradden full of troopers?"

R3-I7:"Vek = yes"

Vek:"What's Vegresso?"

Duga:He looks to Olivar "A traveler."

Olivar:"...I meant your name."

"Not occupation."

Duga:"Names and who you are are two different things entirely. My name is Duga."

Olivar:"Nice to meet you...I'm Olivar, if you haven't already heard."

R3-I7:"Vegresso = forest planet // Vegresso = one capital // Capital = major city // Major city = great place to stop"

B8-G6:"I agree with R3, Master Vek."

Olivar:He looks to Marko "What about you?"

Marko:Marko keeps one eye on Duga at all times

With one eye, Marko looks to Olivar and says

"My name is Marko. I am a follow of meister Duga's teachings."

Olivar:"Yeah, I heard you calling him meister earlier...wh...why?"

Marko:"Because he's my meister. Don't you have one?"

Olivar:"...no...not really...what do you follow of his?"

Duga:"He's an apprentice of sorts."

Olivar:"Ah...of travelling?"

Marko:"We are sith."

Vek:"Alright, Qotaro, head for vegresso."

Duga:"You are a long way from being Sith."

Olivar:He nods, and then whips his head up "A S-Sith?"

Marko:"I think I was close, meister."

"You're just embarrassed that I almost had you."

Duga:"I meant nothing about your power."

Vek:"Oh, he's the one that did that to you?"

Olivar:He looks to Vek "Sith?"

Marko:"Yes."

Vek:"Beats me, man."

Qotaro:He begins course for Vegresso

Marko:Marko looks to Vek with his left eye

"I was not able to kill him and take his place, so I am still his apprentice."

Vek:"....Until you...can?"

Marko:"Yes."

Duga:He looks down at Marko "Know your place."

Vek:"Okay, Duga, I don't think your friend can stay."

Marko:"Yes, meister."

Olivar:He starts coughing "The big, black, Vader kind of Sith?"

Duga:"If he is too weak the next time he attempts my life, I will not spare him. If he is, that is the way of the Sith. Part of it any how."

Vek:"Sounds pretty shitty."

Duga:"It is a sad way, but strength is not given but earned."

Qotaro:"No gabba."

Vek:"But that doesn't mean your apprentice has to kill you."

Duga:"No, but it is an undeniable way to prove oneself."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back to Duga and asks

"You're a sith?"

Olivar:"The big, evil, dark side kinda sith?"

Duga:"One of a very old philosophy."

Olivar:"Those guys?"

Vek:"I believe so, Olivar."

Tyzen:"So was the woman down there your.. meister?"

Vek:"....No."

Duga:He chuckles "No, but I do admire her."

"It is sad she had no ambition."

Olivar:"Wait, what?!"

Vek:"Hey, pal."

Olivar:"There were more!"

Vek:"Watch it."

Tyzen:"Ambition?"

Olivar:"More?!"

Duga:He looks to Vek "Hm?"

Vek:He just looks at him

Olivar:He looks to Vek "Sith?!"

Vek:"What?"

Qotaro:"Sith? Trash."

Olivar:"I've been around the galaxy once or twice, but holy shit!"

"Sith?!"

Qotaro:"Droid? Not trash."

Vek:"Yea."

Olivar:"They're like...legend! Myth!"

Duga:"They are very real."

Vek:"We've met sith, bounty hunters, dumb pieces of fat shit, me and Tyzen fought a Jedi on Zhar, too."

Qotaro:"Jedi? Trash."

Olivar:He shakes his head in disbelief

Tyzen:"We didn't win but we tried."

Olivar:"I thought I had it bad..."

Duga:"Not all Sith were created equal."

Vek:"I think I could take her, now."

Marko:"Could you take meister?"

Olivar:He looks to Duga "So...why do you want to be evil?"

Vek:"Beats me."

Tyzen:"Yea, Vek could totally take Duga."

Duga:"The pursuit of strength is not evil."

Qotaro:"Yea!"

Olivar:"...what about conquering the galaxy?"

"And oppression?"

"I know jack about Sith, but I do know they are aiming and willing to do both of those things."

Marko:"When you prove yourself to be stronger than meister, I will swear myself to you."

Vek:"I'm not into that shit, sorry."

Duga:"Many find that proving strength involves putting those-" he goes to stomp on Marko

Olivar:"...continue?"

Marko:Marko grunts from the stomp

Duga:"Plotting so openly is the way to an early grave."

Marko:"It wasn't a plot."

Olivar:"A, so you're more of the subversive type, gotcah."

• gotcha

• Ah

Qotaro:"Gatcha."

Olivar:"Want to oppress everyone from the shadows."

Duga:"As I was saying, many find that proving their strength- Silence." he holds his saber hilt out, pointed at Marko

Marko:Marko keeps his mouth shut

Duga:"I care not for what others think of my strength. Others, however, wish to prove strength by imposing their will on others."

Olivar:"...You're a good...sith?"

Tyzen:Tyzen has started playing some Underground droid raps, specifically by YTCracker as he asks

"I don't care about proving my strength."

Duga:"Good and evil have nothing to do with it."

Olivar:"I mean..."

"Come on."

"Taking over the galaxy and imposing a dictatorial rule is pretty evil."

Tyzen:He looks to Vek

"Do you?"

Duga:"Not if you perceive it from a Sith's eye. The weak cannot oppose the strong."

Vek:"...Right now, I just want to put a stop to Leats."

Olivar:"...that's just a dick move."

Vek:"Both of them, I don't care which one."

Olivar:"Solstice first."

Vek:"Yea, we'll work up from his crownies."

Qotaro:"Yea... good..." He starts getting into the raps, as he starts flying the ship around in donuts

Olivar:He also starts bobbing his head

Vek:"We'll make him watch his fucking dream crash and burn before we finish him off."

Olivar:"Hell yeah!"

Tyzen:As his name is said again, Tyzen lowers his head and begins to brood, once again darkness enters the room and Vek, Olivar, and Duga can feel a coldness come from Tyzen

Olivar:"...what...what's that?"

(To Vek): "Kill, kill, kill"

Olivar:"What's he doing?"

Duga:"Use that anger."

Olivar:"HEY!"

Duga:"It will help you."

Olivar:"That sounds really fucking evil!"

Vek:"Not again.."

(To Duga): "Revenge"

(To Duga): "Hatred"

Duga:He chuckles darkly "Fueling yourself with emotion is the way to power in the force."

Olivar:"...I mean, I use the force and I wouldn't say I do that..."

Vek:"You really need to shut the fuck up."

Qotaro:He turns around and points at Duga, "Betch!"

He then pulls his hand back and taps his blaster a few times

Duga:"I speak the truth. However much you don't wish to hear it."

He just shakes his head

Tyzen:Tyzen looks between the three before going back to Qotaro and sitting next to him, watching him pilot as the darkness starts disperse and the heat returns

Qotaro:He looks to Tyzen, and nods, "Not beetch."

Olivar:"Anyways, what the hell was that?"

Tyzen:He looks to Qotaro and nods with a smile

"Not beetch."

Vek:"Fine, Duga, tell us what the hell just happened, then."

"Spread some truth."

Marko:Marko looks to Duga as he's been put on the spot

looks to Duga with both eyes

Duga:"I would guess his emotions and power in the Force produced what you heard."

Olivar:"...you heard something?"

Vek:"yea."

"Voices."

Olivar:"..."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No voices."

Vek:He mocks them, staring at Duga and Marko "Kill, kill, kill.."

Olivar:"...I felt a fucking snow storm of evil coming from him," He nods towards Tyzen "Not any voices..."

"....."

"Holy shit."

Qotaro:"That's no good."

Olivar:He looks to Duga "Yeah, it's pretty evil to endorse that."

(To Olivar): During the event that everyone is talking about, Olivar was able to hear multiple echoing voices in the back of his head whispering "Death, Kill, Revenge, hatred, loss"

Duga:He shrugs "Is it so different from your plan to kill Solstice?"

Olivar:"Yes."

Vek:"Yea."

Olivar:"Extremely."

Qotaro:"Yea, beetch."

Olivar:"One is to stop a mass murderer and kidnapper."

Duga:"He wants revenge on the one that murdered his mother."

Vek:"Kill kill kill is indiscriminate."

Olivar:"How the fuck do you know that?"{

Duga:"After the mention of Leat?" He looks toward Tyzen "No, it was targeted."

Olivar:"...Leat has even more to do with this?!"

Vek:"Yes."

"And I don't know."

"I think you-know-who just brings out that side of him."

Duga:"Even if that is the case, that is part of him. To suppress himself is nothing short of self-sabotage."

Olivar:"It's called controlling your emotions, not letting them control you."

Vek:He looks at his hands again, thinking

Marko:Marko is listening to everyone, keeping his right eye on Duga at all times but his left eye wonders to whoever is talking at the time

Duga:"Wielding such emotions. That is the key. Not control or suppression. Make use of it."

Olivar:"I gotta say, you made it sound a lot more like letting your emotions control you."

"You can't just give into the urge to KILL, KILL, KILL...that's...mad."

"Everything would fall apart. If you have no self control, how the hell do you function in society?"

Vek:His thoughts lingered back everything they'd been through up to this point, as he leaned against the wall, idly listening to them debate

Duga:"Passion. That is the source of everything. Power cannot be achieved without such. That doesn't mean raging around at any moment."

Olivar:"Okay, just what the hell do you define as power?"

Marko:"Strength."

Duga:"The meaning of power to me means nothing to you. Everyone must decide for oneself what it is."

Vek:He rubs his face, sighing, shivering a bit

Duga:"For Marko, it is fighting ability, apparently."

Marko:"Peace is a lie, there is only passion."

"Through passion, I gain strength."

"Through strength, I gain power."

Olivar:"...so, do you not care who you run over in pursuit of that? I'm not...one who has...room...to judge.." He trails off, confused by what Marko is doing

Marko:"Through power, I gain victory."

Olivar:"What's going on?"

"Was that a mantra?"

"Did he just chant at me?"

Vek:"It's a big load of bullshit."

Marko:Marko looks to Vek with curiosity

Duga:"Through victory, I break my chains. The Force shall set me free. the basic tenants of the Sith."

"From there, one interprets it as they wish."

Olivar:"What chains? The chains of being a decent person?"

"..."

Marko:Marko looks to Olivar

Duga:"The chains that hold you back. Whatever they may be."

Olivar:"Anyways, so you guys don't care who you...run over in pursuit of power?"

Duga:"Does anyone in power, Sith or not?"

Marko:Still listening to everyone, Marko keeps his left eye on whoever is talking

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back to the group and asks Duga

"What is yours?"

Olivar:"..."

Duga:"My what?"

Tyzen:"Power."

Olivar:"The...force?"

He looks to Duga

Duga:"I find power in the spread of ideals. Not that it has gone well so far."

Tyzen:"And your chains are the suppression of said ideals?"

Duga:"And ignorance."

Tyzen:"You must feel like you're in a constant prison then."

Duga:He nods, eyes glowing "But my passion will overcome that."

Tyzen:"How?"

Olivar:"Listen here, kiddo, just...don't be an asshole."

"It'll get you far. Don't...take an example from me, though."

Duga:"No, I am glad he questions. It means he wishes to learn."

Tyzen:"I didn't plan to."

"I do."

"Maybe not follow, but still learn."

Olivar:He finger guns "That's a good idea, I guess."

Vek:"....Look, whatever."

"We need a game plan."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Vek for a moment before looking back to Duga

"Can we continue this conversation later?"

Duga:He nods

Tyzen:Tyzen turns his music off and turns back to Vek

"Where are we going?"

Vek:"Vegresso. To fuel up and maybe get a few additions."

Duga:"If possible, simply a larger vessel."

Tyzen:"While I was okay with sleeping next to R3 and Bait, but I will not be sleeping with Duga, his.. apprentice or the new guy."

Vek:"What?"

"No, we're not getting rid of the Ural."

"We'll just get some work done on 'er."

Qotaro:"What? No Chip?" He says, to Tyzen

Duga:He shrugs

Olivar:He feels offended

Tyzen:"Chip charges next to you, not with us in the other room."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No charge. Always there."

Ural:Qotaro has been guiding the ship slowly but surely to Vegresso and after a few days, they begin closing in on the planet

Tyzen:Tyzen shouts out to the rest of the crew from beside Qotaro

"We're here!"

Marko:Marko has been mostly silent these past few days, in deep thought as the group seems to have been fighting to get along during the ride

R3-I7:R3 is charging after losing battery, not charging himself every night

Talz:Talz is still trying to talk to Bait who is continuing to not have it

Chip:And Chip stands at attention on the other side of Qotaro from Tyzen

Duga:He sits in meditation position, channeling his hatred

Olivar:He's just been mulling the over the first few days

Qotaro:He's looking at, as he rolls his neck, and gets ready for landing

Vek:he stands, preparing himself for touch down

Tyzen:The Ural is able to land without incident at one of the ports within the city, as it does, Tyzen runs over to Vek and asks

"Can I come?"

Vek:"Yea, but if things get heated, I want you to come back here."

Tyzen:"Will do."

Qotaro:He leans back and stretches, as he says, "Aaahh, gatcha ba."

Marko:"Meister, while you all leave, would you mind if I stayed here? It is difficult for me to stand, let alone walk and if something occurs, I will only be a burden."

Duga:He looks to Qotaro "Will Chip be staying aboard the ship?"

Chip:"No."

Vek:"We're not leaving him on the ship alone with the droids."

"That's straight up not an option."

Duga:"That's why I was asking about the battle doroid."

droid*

Vek:"I don't even want him on my ship."

Tyzen:"I can stay."

"I was wanting to go and see the city but if it bothers him to move, I can just wait until the next planet>"

Duga:He looks to Marko "You can walk. Or are you going to be held back by pain?"

Marko:"My word may mean little to you, Captain Vek, but I promise you, I will bring any harm to you, your ship, or your crew."

Marko looks to Duga

"I.."

"I can walk, but.."

Marko grabs his spear and uses it to help him up saying between the grunts

"I will try."

Tyzen:"There is a difference."

Tyzen says to Duga

Duga:"One's will can overcome most anything. I also trust my apprentice as much as I do a wild beast."

Tyzen:"There is a difference between using will to overcome pain and injuring yourself more over pride. I thought you said you didn't like ignorance?"

Duga:"One must learn to deal with pain. If pride is what pushes you, then by all means."

Tyzen:"Is that why it's taking you so long to heal?"

Vek:Ouch

Qotaro:"Ooooh, gatcha!"

Duga:"Perhaps the hole in my heart is a good reason."

Tyzen:"You're not the only one with a hole in their heart. But you don't see me pushing myself or others to do dumb things because I of my own believes."

Duga:"What would you propose to do with him?"

"Would you rather me end him? Make him no longer a threat?"

Tyzen:"Why does it have to be one way or the other?"

Duga:"Did I say it had to?"

Tyzen:"Why can't either he stay and rest or you stay here and let him rest? Maybe take him to a hospital or have someone more qualified than Bait take a look at him?"

B8-G6:"I'm sorry that I can't be of much help, master Tyzen."

Tyzen:"Why are the two options you go to either force him to go with you or kill him?"

Duga:He chuckles "I lack the funds for hospitalization. How is he to get there without moving even if I did?"

Tyzen:"I.. Vek, can't we pay for a doctor to come back and look at him?"

Vek:"Yea, we'll see about that when we head out."

Tyzen:"Then does that mean he can stay?"

"On the ship while we go out? If I you want me to, I'll stay and keep watch."

Vek:"No.."

"Chip can stay."

Qotaro:"Yea, watch him."

He stretches, and says, "Me, too."

Duga:"Then it works."

Chip:"..."

Chip looks to Qotaro

"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:He looks to Chip

Vek:"Alright, give me the credits, Q."

Qotaro:He gives a thumbs up, and then goes to give Vek the credits

He gives him 3000 Credits

8000*

Vek:he nods "I'll bring you back something."

Qotaro:"Gatcha."

Vek:he sets his Rykk Blade back in the ship

As he sets the blade down under his bed, he looks at a reflection of himself a bit, thinking some more

he shrugs and heads back out to Duga and Tyzen

Duga:"Perhaps a bit of funds and I'll visit a hospital as well."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Marko as he leaves the ship, Marko giving him a look of appreciation as he slowly makes his way back to laying down

"Thank you, Vek."

Vek:"No problem, kiddo."

"Let's get going, don't want to spend more time than we have to idling about."

Duga:"Indeed."

Qotaro:He spends his time on the ship studying mechanics and ship construction

Olivar:He pipes up "I know a bit about medicine."

Vek:"Yea?"

"Go check him out, then, save us some money."

Olivar:He nods, and walks over to Marko "Alright, just stay still."

He begins to check him out

Marko:Olivar knows that while he can help Marko, it will require some supplies that he does not have and will have to go out and buy, however it will be cheaper than going to a doctor

Olivar:"Hm...yeah, I can fix him. I'm going to need some supplies, though, disinfectant, bandages, maybe an actual scalpel, stuff like that. Helluva lot cheaper than a doctor, though."

(From Duga): 2

Vek:"Alright, well, you should go buy all of that."

Duga:"It may leave me indebted to you, but might I ask you to use any remainder on addressing my wounds? I fear I would only worsen them."

Olivar:He takes a look

(To Olivar): he's able to see that with a little bit of rest, Duga will be fine, however if he gets into a fight or moves too much, he'll only reopen his wounds

Olivar:"Hmm...eh, you should be fine ..just don't get into anymore fights."

Duga:"Even this?" He holds a hand to his chest

(To Olivar): it doesn't appear to cause too much harm

Olivar:He pokes it "...like I said, it just looks bad. It will get bad if you try and stretch too much."

Duga:He nods "Good."

Tyzen:Tyzen has gotten a little bit further than the group but starts to slow down and wait on them to catch up

Olivar:"So, do we just head to a general store first?"

Vek:"I'm going to go secure some supplies for the ship. You can go get the medical supplies if you wish."

Olivar:"...with our current situation, would it be wise to split up?"

Vek:"You can take Duga with you, if you don't think you can handle yourself."

"I don't think we're going to have much to worry about if we keep our heads down."

Olivar:He looks to Duga "You up for it?"

Duga:He nods "I am ready."

Narrator:Everyone is able to go their different ways and get their different items

After buying the supplies for Qotaro to upgrade the ship, the crew, with the exception of the droids and Qotaro himself, are forced to stay in a hotel for the week it'll take Qotaro to finish repairs on the ship

Olivar:"...should we get some kind of odd job in the meantime?"

Vek:He nods "Yea..that's what I was thinking."

Duga:"It would be wise."

Vek:"Alright, let's get a resume worked up."

"What all can we do?"

Olivar:"...I could try and contact someone I know from the bounty hunter game."

Vek:"That sounds a bit risky..but that's your call."

"As long as we don't have to leave the planet."

Tyzen:Tyzen is watching some holo-tv while everyone talks, just beside him sits Talz, with Marko behind them on the bed, still recovering however making far better time than once thought

Duga:"I would not advise it. Perhaps local postings could work."

Vek:"Let's go to the Cantina, I'm sure work'll find us. That's how it was back on 'ooine.""

Talz:Talz looks to the squad and asks

"Goss, if you wouldn't mind, I have some oiling to do, may I stay here while you all go out?"

Olivar:He looks to Talz "Yeah, it's fine." He looks to Vek "So, like guard or mercenary work, or just straight up physical labor?"

Tyzen:"And Vek, a show I used to watch is coming on, mind if I stay here too?"

Vek:"Yea, a cantina's no place for a kid, anyway.."

he looked back to Olivar "Whatever comes our way."

Tyzen:With a smile, Tyzen says

"Thanks>"

Marko:Marko sits up from his rest and asks

"Would you mind if I joined you on your venture, meister?"

Olivar:"...are you in any condition too?"

Marko:"I should be fine, doctor, thank you for your worry."

Duga:He looks to Vek

Vek:"That's on you."

Duga:He nods "Join us."

Marko:"Thank you."

Olivar:He looks to the adults in the room "I got a blaster I can't really use, if any of you guys don't really need it, I'll just pawn it."

Marko:Marko lets out a small grunt as he gets up and walks next to the adults in the room

Duga:He shakes his head "I prefer my fights to be personal. Blasters are not personal."

Vek:"Well, I can't shoot for shit."

Marko:"What of your small friend?"

Olivar:"Yeah, what about him?"

Vek:"He's got his gun. He'd be more interested if you had a droid to lend him than a blaster."

Olivar:"Well, let's head down to the local pawn shop or bazaar, and then check the board at the cantina."

Vek:he nods "As for the cantina, I meant more...talking to people. but we'll see about a board, too."

Olivar:He nods

Marko:With that, the group heads out, along the way Olivar is able to sell his blaster for 900 creds before they arrive at the local, banging, packed cantina

Vek:"Alright, everyone, stick together.."

Marko:*Within the cantina they find several suspicious looking people in all corners, including some people playing a game of cards at a table, some dancers of various races on small podiums, and a man that not only Vek, but Olivar has met once before, a terminator of a man with pale white skin and ice white hair

Olivar:"Oh god damnit." He thinks

Rai:Rai is leaned against the bar along with one of the men Olivar recalls seeing him with the last time they met

Olivar:He whispers to Vek and just everyone generally "Say away from that cyborg guy at the bar."

Vek:"You know him?"

Olivar:"He's a bounty hunter. Ex-Solstice Army."

Marko:"That looks promising."

Marko says as his eyes stop from looking all around, to a man holding up a board

Vek:"Huh..yea, he paid us for a bounty back on Zhar."

"He sure gets around."

Olivar:"...I doubt he's still secretly working for her. His brother is a forceful."

Marko:The board reads = '1,000,000 for anyone who can go one on one with the terrifying Huap'

Vek:"I wasn't making any accusatio-"

"Hold up."

"We're taking this mother fucker down."

Olivar:"...we gotta find that fucking Hoop."

Duga:"This sounds like a profitable venture."

Vek:He steps over to Marko, and looks to the man

"Hey, we wanna meet this Huap."

Duga:He stays back, just watching

Olivar:He follows behind Vek

Unknown:As Vek gets closer, he finds the man isn't holding the board up but instead it has been nailed to his torso, the man says

"Huap isn't a person, it's a god."

Vek:"Yea, whatever."

Unknown:"And you don't just.. Meet a god."

Vek:"We're gonna kick his ass."

Olivar:"Hell yeah."

Unknown:"Oh.. a challenger?"

Vek:"Depends on the rules."

Marko:Marko stands behind Vek, keeping on eye on the board holder and the other on any who get too close

Unknown:"The rules are simple."

"You step into the allowed fighting area."

"We close the fighting area."

"You face the Huap."

"He kills you."

"We take your stuff."

Vek:"Sorry, but that isn't happening this time."

Olivar:"It's only one on one?"

Unknown:"Yes."

"One on one."

Vek:He pats Marko on the shoulder "This man is one of the most powerful warriors in the outer rim."

Unknown:"If you wish to take it on two on one, the price will be lowered to half."

Vek:"3?"

Unknown:"No."

Vek:"Oh?"

"Your god too fucking chicken to fight three guys at once?"

Marko:Marko looks to Vek

"I thank you for the confidence, but I don't think I'm in any condition to fight."

Unknown:"It is the rules."

Vek:"Alright, fine."

"2 it is."

Unknown:"Who will be participating?"

Olivar:He looks to Vek "..."

Duga:He steps forward

He looks between the two

Unknown:As Duga steps forward, the man offers a collar

"You will be required to wear this to ensure that you do not exit the fighting area until either you die or until your knocked out and Hual believes you are worthy to be left alive."

Vek:"Come on, we're not the kinda guys to run away."

Olivar:"...what kind of weapons can we have?"

Unknown:"You may bring with you any items you possess."

Duga:"This smells of a trap but I will take your challenge." He then looks back to the other two "Shall I be entering alone?"

Vek:he shakes his head

Olivar:He sigh "I'm up to head in."

He then looks to Vek "Unless you wanna?"

Marko:Marko bows to Duga and says

"I am sorry Meister, I would join if I could but I'm already forcing myself to just join you here."

Vek:"Unless the both of you are set on entering, I would feel remiss to have gotten us into this situation and not entering myself."

Olivar:"Damn, I just wish all three of us could go."

Unknown:"If all three of you wish to join, then you may, at the price of a lowered reward."

Olivar:"If we don't die does he still get our stuff?"

Unknown:"You would only get one thousand creds."

"No."

"However you will be warned."

"Only one person has been deemed worthy by Hual to live."

"Jazen Leats."

Vek:"I'm going in."

Olivar:"..." He looks to Duga "...do you still want to go?"

Vek:He steps back, regaining his composure "Sorry..I.. almost got carried away there."

Duga:He looks to Olivar "I believe you two have vested interest in that name."

Olivar:"...regardless, I'm going in now."

Duga:He steps away, heading toward the bar

Vek:he takes a breath, and looks to Duga "Hey. If it's a trap, you gotta save us, alright?"

Olivar:"Bring the house down, if you have to."

Vek:"I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I'm trusting you, here."

Duga:He looks back "I won't let you die."

He continues on to the bar

Vek:"Alright, let's get this started."

Unknown:"On the back of this board are the directions."

"When you are ready, grab it."

Olivar:"..the...board?"

Unknown:"Yes."

Olivar:".."

Vek:"...That seems like a not good idea."

Unknown:"It is the rules."

Vek:"F-"

"You've already broken your own rules!"

Unknown:"Rules can be bent."

Vek:"So can this one."

Unknown:"It is the rules."

Vek:"Just show us where the goddamned fighting area is."

Unknown:"Put on the restraining collars."

The man holds two out

Olivar:"...we're not in the arena yet."

(From Duga): He keeps an eye out from a distance

Unknown:"... If you're joining do as the rules so, if not, leave."

say*

Vek:he snatches a collar and grabs the board

Olivar:He grabs his collar "Geez."

(To Duga): Mark stays close to Duga, keeping on eye on them and the other out for anyone getting too close

Unknown:"Good luck."

The man suddenly falls backwards, with Vek holding the board, it causes the nail to be ripped out of him

The man lays on the ground, unmoving as Olivar and Vek are able to read the back of the board which gives them an address, one they recall seeing as they toured the streets of the city when they first arrived

Vek:He drops the board onto the man "Let's do this."

Olivar:He looks at the dude "...I'm not sure I fully understand what just happened."

Vek:"Cult's are like that."

Olivar:"...well, yeah, let's go."

Jaqua:Suddenly, a hooded being stands up on the bar and calls out

"We have our final contestants!"

Olivar:"...what the fuck is that."

Vek:His blood boils

"J-"

"j-"

Jaqua:"Today!"

Vek:"Jaquas."

Jaqua:"In exactly one hour!"

"The Huap will start!"

Olivar:"...how did...he know..."

Jaqua:"Please, advert your eyes to the on coming screen!"

Vek:He's started to feel riled

Olivar:He looks to the dead guy "...I mean."

"Nevermind."

Jaqua:As Vek and Olivar are getting riled up, three large screens come down from the ceiling and a large timer appears, counting down

"Your bets will be taken by me! Here at the bar!"

Olivar:"...think that's us?"

Vek:"Yea."

"I don't think there's two Huap's going on."

Olivar:"Well, let's get going.."

Vek:"Wait.."

Olivar:"Wait?"

Rai:By this time, everyone in the bar has stopped their conversation and looked to the Jaqua, listening to what he has to say

Vek:"We can use this to our advantage."

Olivar:"Oh?"

Vek:"We give Duga some money to bet on us with, get a little bit extra."

"Plus, with the odds being an assumed 0% chance of us winning...we should make a nice turnaround."

Olivar:"...how much you wanna give him?"

Vek:He walks up to Duga "Hey, new plan."

Marko:Marko sits at the bar, beside him

Duga:"You wish to bet?"

Vek:"Yes."

he whispers "We're bleeding these Jaquas dry,"*

he gives Duga 2k

Marko:"Am I old enough to bet aswell, Meister?"

Olivar:He hands another 2k to Vek

• Duga

Duga:"If you wish to bet separately, feel free." He takes the credits, approaching the bet master

Vek:He nods, and heads off toward the Ural

Marko:"..."

Marko looks to Olivar

Olivar:He looks to Marko "..."

Marko:"We didn't use money in our city."

Olivar:"...cool."

Marko:credits*

Olivar:He follows Vek

Marko:".."

Marko goes back to watching the people in the cantina, with several minutes passing, Olivar and Vek make it to the Ural

Jaqua:"Aoooo!"

The Jaqua yells getting people hyped for this Huap

Vek:"Qotaro!"

Qotaro:"Gah!" He said, looking over, a wrench in his hand, as he was working on the ship

Vek:"Come here."

Qotaro:"... Gabba?" He said, hopping down and walking over

Vek:he hands him the collar "What can you do about this?"

Qotaro:"Oooh..." He takes it and looks over it, inspecting it carefully

Chip:Chip looks to Vek as he holds another, smaller wrench for Qotaro

Qotaro:"Roger!" He said, taking it, inspecting the collar

(To Qotaro): Qotaro is able to see the collar is a restraining collar to keep things it is attached to within a certain field

Qotaro:"Mmmmm... yes..." He went to see if he could disable that, or mitigate its effects in any way

(To Qotaro): He is able to see that with a bit of luck and skill, he can disable it

Qotaro:Perceives! (50)

Olivar:He looks to his

(To Qotaro): While he didn't break it, Qotaro knows he didn't fix it

Qotaro:"Gaaah... No..." He shakes his head, a bit frustrated

Olivar:He hands his to Qotaro

Qotaro:He leans in, and goes to take another crack at it, before getting Olivar's

Perceives! (65)

(To Qotaro): Qotaro isn't sure if he broke it, fixed it, or did nothing

Qotaro:"... Trash."

He throws it on the ground, and grabs Olivar's

Vek:he picks it up "Hey, we kinda need these."

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "No good."

"Restrains."

He then looks over Olivar's

Perceives! (115)

(To Duga): "Do you believe they will make it, meister?"

(To Qotaro): He isn't sure what he did differently but Qotaro was able to keep the restraint from working once it's clicked together

Qotaro:"... Huh... uh..." He hold's up Olivar's collars, "Fixed."

collar*

Vek:"....Great."

"Well, guess that's all that can be done."

"Once again, I'm placing my life in your hands, Olivar."

Olivar:"Well, it worked out once. I told you you were being hunted by an army."

Vek:"Yea but we weren't in the middle of a fight then."

Olivar:"True, true. Let's get this over with."

(From Duga): "They better, or they weren't worth traveling with to begin with."

Vek:He nods in agreement

He begins heading for the address

Qotaro:"Gatcha!" He said, waving to them, before fanning out his hood a bit, and going back to working on the ship

Olivar:"Hey, we may need backup. Keep an eye out for a firefight." He follows Vek

(To Duga): "At least they were able to help us off Drexel."

Qotaro:"... Gabba."

(From Duga): "For that, we are indebted to the similarly dressed ones."

Vek:He puts the collar on and knocks

Narrator:Our two heros make their way to the door where, once knocked on, the door opens to reveal

Jaqua:A Jaqua

Vek:He tenses

Jaqua:"Are you here for the Outer Rim Huap?"

Vek:"Yes."

Jaqua:The Jaqua looks to Olivar

"Where is his collar?"

Olivar:He forgot to put his on, so he does so "Sorry."

Jaqua:"Alright, head right in. Don't take any turns, if you do, you won't like what happens next."

"Go straight until you can no longer."

"Then go right."

"Once you go right, you will find our doctor."

"His name is Vedro."

"He will look over you and make sure you are okay to fight."

Jaqua:"After that, you may enter the room to the left."

"From there, you wait."

Olivar:"..."

Vek:"Gatcha."

Jaqua:The Jaqua shuts the door behind them and goes back to looking at a tablet

Vek:He follows the directions

Olivar:He also follows the direction

• directions

Jaqua:They are able to follow the directions to the T as they get to a room where one Rodian stands, awaiting his patients

Vedro:He was leaned back in a chair, rubbing his head, before looked over and noticed them, as he said, "Oh, you're the contestants?"

Olivar:He nods

Vek:"The o-...two and only."

Vedro:"Alright, I see. May I ask your names real quick?" He said, staring, and going to approach them

Olivar:"Olivar."

Vek:"Vek."

Vedro:"Alright, Olivar, Vek. Let me get this over then, I suppose..." As said, as he began to get a bit of equipment over for a quick examination

Vek:He lets the doc do his job

Vedro:He gives them a quick look over, and after a short period, he says, "Yea, I think you two should be good. I don't see any noticeable discrepancies, and you're both in very good physical condition."

Olivar:"Why, thank you."

Vedro:"Ah, no problem. I'm sure you two will do fine."

"I don't even know what the hell of a Huap is."

Vek:He nods "Me either." He heads for the room to the left

Olivar:He follows.

Jaqua:Suddenly, Duga is able to see the screen flash multiple bright colors before a Jaquian man stands in front of the camera

"HAHAHAHAH! Ladies and aliens! Weirdos and hatefuls alike! Outer Rim homies of all ages! Please, put your hands together! For the the one and only, one a year Jaqua led tournament! The Huap!"

The camera suddenly drops to look below him and shows he is on a platform, high above a dome of green energy

"Anything can enter that dome, but those with our special collars are the only ones able to leave it. Speaking of those with our special collars, this years participants are getting ready to be brought into the arena and face off against each other, who will make it? Who do you pay for?"

As he says this, on the screen appear a list of fifteen profiles, each showing a name, face, and race, but nothing else

"Alright, our fighters have been eagerly waiting long enough! Let's release them."

Jaqua:As he says this, the door between Vek and Vedro shuts as the wall in front of them slowly lowers, revealing that they are being brought up into the middle of a forest like area as they hear over the intercomes

"This is it! If you are alone and Huap allows you to live, you will be payed a grand total of 1,000,000 creds! If you are being are being joined by a friend, your will only win 500,000 creds for being little jawas. hehehe, I laugh every time at that one. Alright! Let's get the show going and the creds a flowin'!"

Olivar:"...did he just insult jawas?"

Vek:"......"

Olivar:"I feel like we were mislead."

Narrator:There are only two characters that Vek and Olivar can see, another pair of gladiators just a few feet away from them

Vek:"Well, they probably fucking knew what they signed up for, so let's get this over with."

"HEY!"

Seragoria:He looks around "...we didn't sign up for a battle royale."

Vek:"Me either, but, life's a beetch."

Bolstik:"It is what it is."

Vek:He steps forward, in a readied stance, waiting on Olivar

Olivar:He also readies himself "This escalated quickly."

Jaqua:On the screens, Duga and Marko are able to see zoomed in sections of other gladiators at the announcing Jaqua says

"Oh, it looks like we have our first meeting!"

Marko:"They are the first to see combat, I don't believe that's good."

Duga:"Just watch and learn."

Seragoria:He puts his hands up "Must we fight so early? I say we...leave each other alone, for now. Thin out the crowd a bit."

Vek:"No."

"I want to get this over with."

Bolstik:"We shall not grovel. We have broken free from our gladiatorial bonds once already. We shall do it again."

Vek:"G- Explain?"

Seragoria:"...might as well tell someone our story before we die."

Bolstik:He grunts

Seragoria:"We broke free from an arena on Orvax after my slave master died, and a riot broke out."

Bolstik:"We have come to far to perish here."

Vek:"Or-"

"Oh."

Bolstik:"Oh?"

Vek:"I've been there..I think I left right before the riots."

Seragoria:"Did you meet one of those...fly creatures? Had sort of an upbeat personality?"

Vek:".....Why?"

Seragoria:"Well, he was my slave master."

"He was a fairly nice fellow, but...still, kept me in slavery."

Vek:"...Uh.."

"Look, you won me over."

"You guys get out of here, and just hope you don't run into us again."

Seragoria:He blinks "...let's! Yes! Let's!"

Bolstik:He growls "...If it must be."

Seragoria:"Yes, it must!"

He books it

Bolstik:He follows

Olivar:"...I was on Orvax after those riots."

"Was at a store that you were in a gun fight in. A lot of people died."

Jaqua:"Well, that's.. Odd, it seems our fighters have agreed to not.. Fight?"

Vek:"They killed each other."

Olivar:"Damn."

Vek:"Shot from opposite directions at us."

"Wasn't their brightest moment."

Duga:"What...are they doing?"

Human:At the edge of the forest, Vek and Olivar are able to see a large man step out with a blade similar to Vek's before he gained his new blade, blood all ready covering him

Olivar:"...well...hi."

Vek:"See, he's already guilty."

"Fair game."

Human:"Agha!"

The burly man screams as he stares at them with his one good eye, his other having a scar on it, blinding it

Olivar:He gestures to under his cloak and looks at Vek

Vek:He stays back, putting his hands in his robes "Please, help yourself."

Olivar:He begins to walk up to the Human, and proceeds to pull out his lightsaber, slashing

Human:The man runs towards Olivar, with one intention in mind, surviving

"Wanna help out here?" He asks Vek

Human:"Rah!"

He roars as his flesh is burned by the plasma saber

Vek:"Look, I've only got so much steam, but, if you insist.."

Olivar:"I get you, I was just asking."

Vek:he steps forward, pulling his saber out, as he turns it on and goes to carve the man up

Olivar:He pats his chest, shaking his head "God damn..."

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (60)

Vek:Defends! (128)

Vek:"Well, I'd say that was a job well done."

Olivar:"That blade messed me up a little...I think I should take a break and bandage myself up."

Vek:"I'll keep watch."

Stormtrooper:Suddenly a blaster is fired at Olivar

Shoots! (119)

Olivar:Defends! (72)

Stormtrooper:Does (35) Damage!

Olivar:"SHIT!" He gets blasted "Should I use...it?"

Vek:"It?"

He gets what he meant, then, as he shakes his head "Not if we can help it."

He runs for the trooper

Stormtrooper:They are able to see the trooper is leaning against a large root on the ground, still aiming at him

Makes a Dexterity Check! (50)

Vek:He goes for the trooper

Makes a Dexterity Check! (66)

Stormtrooper:Defends! (9)

The trooper didn't even have a chance

Vek:He takes a breath "How many is that, now?"

"4?"

Olivar:He's still cloaked "Let's try and find this god damn Who-Ha...."

"I'm getting tired of this..."

Vek:"...I don't think there is a who-ha."

"That guy was just fucking crazy."

Human:Suddenly a human flies at them

Olivar:He goes to slice him mid air

Human:and slams against the tree they're next too, snapping several bones in his body as he falls to the ground with blood coming out of almost every hole in his body

Vek:"...5."

"I wonder where he learned to fly.."

Olivar:"...let's try and sneak our way through this..."

"At least to a certain extent."

Duga:He's greatly enjoying himself

Vek:He shrugs "I mean, so far all the troubles been coming to us."

Olivar:"Should we clear out some of these trees, create less cover for them and more for us?"

Jaqua:"Oh boy, that's fi- No, that's ten of our fighters down!"

Narrator:Olivar and Vek are able to hear fighting all around them with screams, and clashing are accompanied by sticks breaking and vines snapping

Vek:"As I said, I only got so much steam. With only three guys left, It seems like a bit of a waste."

"Maybe if we're lucky they'll just kill each other."

Olivar:"Well, we should still hold up."

"Somehow..."

Vek:he goes to climb up a tree

Makes a Dexterity Check! (144)

Narrator:The crowd lowers as Vek gets to the top of the tree to find a hooded figure standing on top as well

Jaqua:"The Jaqua stumbles back, having never faced an opponent of this caliber before, as it stops itself from falling off the tree, it looks at Vek and whispers*

"Batcha!? Oobaga! BEETCH!"

After saying these three things, the Jaqua swings something from under it's cloak at Vek

The Jaqua is unable to do anything as he was kicked square in the stomach and sent flying off the tree which is hundreds of feet tall, and Vek is certain the Jaqua is not living this fall

Vek:goes to climb down the tree, sheathing his saber, as he calls out for Olivar "It's done!"

Olivar:He watches the Jaqua fall "...oh yeah?"

Jaqua:As the Jaqua hits the ground, the announcer says

"Oh, my Huap! We are down to the last four!"

"The first four people to meet on the battlefield but decided to for some reason part ways!"

"Let's see if they can find each other in our small jungle!"

It takes very little time for the four fighters to meet

Seragoria:"Well...we meet again."

Vek:He holds the hilt of his saber in his hands, sighing "The one thing we said to not do.."

Bolstik:"Enough chit chat."

Vek:He turns his head "Yea?"

Olivar:"I was starting to like you guys..."

Vek:"We don't have to do this."

Seragoria:"What do you expect us to do, just die?"

Vek:"Knock yourselves out."

Bolstik:"We'll meet in the middle. We fight until we knock out."

Vek:He looks at Oliver and himself "We can't guarantee that."

Seragoria:He sighs, really not wanting to do this "I suppose we'll just have to see then!" He pulls out a whip, spinning it around his head, and then whipping it at Vek

Makes a Dexterity Check! (131)

(To Duga): "This has went by quickly and I am surprised to see them still alive."

(From Duga): "There have been a few challengers. The rest were fodder."

Vek:Does (58) Damage!

Makes a Dexterity Check! (106)

Bolstik:He falls to one knee, and then looks to Olivar and Vek

Jaqua:"Oh!"

Olivar:He holds his lightsaber in front of him, swaying a bit

Jaqua:"I believe this is it!"

Vek:He drops the whip on the ground and holds his shoulder, panting

Jaqua:"Balmos and Huqols!"

Bolstik:He holds his head low "...I yield."

Jaqua:"Is this it?!"

Bolstik:"I choose my own death. No longer will I fight to it for the amusement of others."

"And I do not choose today."

Vek:"Good choice.."

Olivar:He lifts up his helmet slightly, spitting out blood "..I-Is that it?"

He looks to Vek

Vek:He looks around, waiting for a Jaqua announcement

Jaqua:"I believe that Bolstik has chosen his fate. It is now up to Vek and Olivar to deliver it to him."

Olivar:"...what does that mean?"

Vek:he walks over and flicks at Bolstik's forehead, whispering "Play dead."

Bolstik:He falls to the ground

Jaqua:"AND THAT'S IT!"

Vek:He rolls his shoulder a bit and looks up at the sky

Jaqua:"WE HAVE OUR WINNERS!"

Bolstik:"Ha...ha...HAHAHAHAHA!"

Olivar:"Ha...ha...HAHAHAHAHA!"*

Jaqua:Vek is able to see the announcer on a stand well up high in the sky above their area of fighting

Olivar:He's practically dancing

Vek:"That wasn't so bad..."

(From Duga): "Even you would have passed such a trial."

Vek:*He says, through many heavy breaths&

Olivar:"I've only been so close to death one other time in my life..."

He's putting his hands on his knees

(To Duga): "I'm glad you have such faith in me."

Jaqua:"Now!"

"Let us see!"

"If they have proven themselves!"

Olivar:"..."

Jaqua:Suddenly the faint music in the background stops

Olivar:He starts bandaging himself

Jaqua:As the green dome of plasma that sat over the arena lowers, Vek and Olivar's collar's snap off, falling to the ground as a hole appears a few feet away from them in the center of the arena as a creature that neither of them has ever seen begins to rise from it, music filling the arena

(From Olivar): (13)

Olivar:He quickly bandages Vek

Jaqua:"Here he is!"

"Our god himself!"

Olivar:"Shit, shit, shit!"

(From Olivar): (18)

Jaqua:"The being that helped us create everything!"

"HUAP!"

Huap:As Olivar and Vek look to the being, they see the green glow of a lightsaber appear behind him as he gazes upon them

Olivar:"...this is retarded!"

Vek:"H-"

"HEY!?"

"He's just a guy!"

Olivar:He looks to the Jaqua "Your god is retarded!"

"It's a dude!"

Huap:He begins slowly walking towards them

Olivar:He looks to Vek, backing up slightly

(From Duga): "I now wish I had joined. That looks like a challenge."

Vek:He stands his ground, taking a breath, regaining his composure a bit, as he draws his saber

Huap:"If you can survive four of my attacks. You will have my approval."

(To Duga): "He is a interesting looking alien, meister. Do you believe he's truly a god as they say?"

Olivar:He grabs his grenade, presses a button on it, and proceeds to use the force to toss it at Huap

Uses the Force! (131)

(From Duga): "Pfft. As much a god as those peanuts across the bar."

Huap:Huap watches the grenade fly to him

(To Duga): "What are peanuts?"

(From Duga): He sighs "Don't worry about it."

Olivar:The grenade flies right in front of his eyes, and then explodes, blinding him

"HA, ASSHOLE!"

Vek:He steps up, his lightsaber in hand, taking a breath, glad he could take the chance to get some easy hits in, as he cuts all around him, getting a slash in on his arms and legs one each

(From Duga): "That was tactics. Fine tactics."

Olivar:He then goes to put Huap's hands behind his back, handcuffing him and tying him up

(To Duga): "But he just kind of let it happened?"

(From Duga): "His arrogance is what led him to be foiled."

Huap:The music stops and the arena goes silent as Huap drops, in pieces

Vek:he takes a deep breath, and stares up "ARE YOU NOT AMUSED!?"

Olivar:As Huap falls to cubes, he steps back, handcuffs in hand

"FUCK YOUR PUNY GOD!"

Vedro:"... See, told them they'd be fine."

(To Duga): "Well, that was a first for me."

(From Duga): "Let it be a lesson."

Jaqua:The Jaqua announcer is in disbelief

"...."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "I think we deserve a little bit more than just 500,000."

He picks up Huap's saber

"...Ootini?"

Vek:"No shit.."

Jaqua:"Well.."

Vek:he goes to peek at the saber in Olivar's hands, examining it's craftsmanship

(To Vek): Vek notices that the saber is in fine craftsmanship, better than not only can he do but than his new lightsaber is

Jaqua:"I think we've all been fooled today."

Olivar:"..."

Jaqua:"Let us..."

"I think this is the end of the Huap yearly tournament."

"Good bye people."

Olivar:He goes to force pull the Jaqua

Vek:"HEY!"

Jaqua:With that, the Jaqua jumps from the stand he was on and falls to the ground, several hundred feet in the air, dying

Olivar:Uses the Force! (129)

Jaqua:Makes a Dexterity Check! (47)

Vedro:"You know, I think I'm about to cry. I don't know if it's because this is so beautiful, or I just lost a good job, again."

Olivar:He brings the Jaqua close, and Olivar no longer sounds like the Olivar from before "...Give us. Our money."

Jaqua:Olivar is able to pull the jaqua towards the trees

Toughs it Out! (86)

Marko:The scene shifts over to Marko and Duga in the bar as everyone in it is in disbelief as well

The room, dead silent

Duga:He wipes tears from his eye, laughing

Marko:"I don't think anyone expected that."

Rai:Rai gets to his feet and says pointing to the screen

"I know him."

Duga:He has to take a second "I-I know I didn't."

Olivar:"WHO'S GOING TO GIVE US OUR FUCKING MONEY?!"

Vedro:He shakes his head, "Man... just how I feel."

Jaqua:A Jaqua walks into the room with Vedro

"I uh.."

"Huh.."

"I don't think anyone here won?"

Olivar:"Are you FUCKING SURE ABOUT THIS?!"

• that

• Omit

Vedro:"I sure didn't."

Jaqua:"I uh..."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "I hate Jaquas."

Jaqua:"Yea man.. Maybe we can just.. Maybe we can get another job?"

Olivar:"They're...they're...parasitic."

Vek:"You're telling me."

Jaqua:"I don't.. I really don't know what to do now."

Vedro:"I'll definitely try to find one."

"For now, I'm about to go cash in my last pay check and go to the cantina."

Vek:"If we don't get that money.."

Duga:He pats the bar "What about my bet?"

Jaqua:".. Can I join you?"

Vedro:"I have a feeling it's about to get pretty violent soon."

Jaqua:"I don't want to be alone."

Vedro:"You're on your own."

He got up and walked away

Jaqua:".."

"Man.."

Vek:"This'll be the third time they've taken from me."

Olivar:He looks around "I will count to three!"

Jaqua:The Jaqua stands in the room as his head drops

Olivar:"ONE!"

Jaqua:A tear drops to the ground as a door in the wall in front of Olivar and Vek opens

Olivar:He turns quickly

Jaqua:He looks to Duga

"I.."

Vek:He turns as well

Jaqua:"I guess you won."

"I.."

"I don't know."

"I just.."

"Here."

The Jaqua places a bag on the table in front of Duga and says

Jaqua:"Just.."

"Take it all."

"I have nothing left."

"We.. Have nothing left."

Duga:"Many thanks." He drops a few credits in front of the Jaqua "Perhaps you need something new to believe in?"

Jaqua:"I.."

"Can I join you?"

"I don't really have anything else."

Marko:"No."

Vedro:He exits the building, as he's heading to the cantina, ready to get a drink

Jaqua:"But.. I have nothing left."

Duga:"Perhaps not join, but I can teach you."

Marko:"... Meister?"

Jaqua:"Teach me what?"

Duga:"The philosophy that drives the universe."

Jaqua:".."

"What does?"

Duga:He takes a napkin and writes the sith code down. "Take this. Read. Interpret. Learn."

Jaqua:"..."

"I see."

"Meister."

The Jaqua whispers as he walks out, passing Vedro as he enters

Marko:"Did he just say that?"

"Did.."

"No!"

"DID.."

Marko bypasses his pain and runs out the cantian

Olivar:He looks to the Jaqua just standing there.

Vedro:He's approaching the Cantina at this moment, as he looks at Marko

Duga:He sips his water

Olivar:*omit again

Marko:Marko stops and looks around before he looks to Vedro

"Where did he go?!"

Duga:He then follows after

Vedro:"What? Where'd who go?"

Marko:"That Jaqua mutter ficker!"

It's at this point that Duga comes out and sees them

Vedro:"A bunch of them are about to be heading to hell, if that helps."

Marko:"I know!"

"One of them are going by my hand!"

Vedro:"See, like I said, a lot of violence is coming."

Duga:"Hold there, apprentice."

Marko:"He.."

Marko looks to Duga

"I am your apprentice!"

"Not him!"

Duga:"Indeed. However, he may inspire his fellows."

Marko:"But.."

".. You're right."

"He.."

"So you're going to let him go?"

Duga:He chuckles darkly "Yes."

Vedro:"He'll probably end up getting himself killed, if that makes you feel better."

Marko:Marko lowers his head and thinks before nodding and looking back to Vedro and saying with a frown

"Thank you for your time."

Vedro:"No problem."

"I'm buying some drinks, if you guys want one, I'll give you one, my treat. This is my last paycheck on this planet, after all. Then I'm off again."

Duga:"My apprentice looks like he could use one."

Marko:"When are we leaving this planet?"

Duga:"A week."

Vedro:"Not soon enough. Come on." He said, as he went to walk into the cantina

Marko:Marko follows Vedro in

B8-G6:Bait walks up next to Qotaro and says with a worried tone

"Master Qotaro."

Qotaro:"GAH!" He yelled out, startled

He then looked over, as he was in the middle of working on securing the ship's internal components

B8-G6:"I.. I think Master Vek and our new guest were apart of a terrible event."

Qotaro:"Gatcha ba?"

B8-G6:"They said that he was apart of a tournament on the planet's radio."

Qotaro:"Tournament... Oooh!"

"Collar! Aaah!"

"Yea, gatcha."

He nods, "Fix collar. Somewhat."

B8-G6:"Yes well, everything went silent and now.. I don't know if they lived or died."

Qotaro:"..."

"Where is tournament?"

B8-G6:"I don't know, it didn't say the location."

Qotaro:"Gaaah!"

Jaqua:As the door opens in front of Vek and Olivar, they see a bag sitting on a podium in the middle of the room with a door leading out on the left side

Qotaro:"Chip!" He said, looking over, "Guard ship!"

Vek:He heads over to the bag

Olivar:He looks to Vek, and begins to head over

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:He nodded, before grabbing his blaster, and going out searching for them

Narrator:Inside they find a crystal and a med kit

Vek:he takes the crystal

Olivar:He looks around for some creds

Narrator:No creds in sight

Vek:"Face it, Olivar."

"There was never any money."

Olivar:He tosses the podium

"...I hope Duga made some creds."

Vek:He nods, and looks for the exit, as he holds a hand out to Olivar, to shake "Good job out there."

Olivar:He looks to Vek, and then laughs, shaking his hand "You were pretty badass yourself!"

Vek:he laughs a bit himself "Let's just try to get back to the hotel in one piece.."

PAGE 17: HUAP // END

(To Vek): As Vek gets closer and closer to the hotel, he begins hearing hundreds of tiny echoing voices call out from the place he put the crystal "Help us! Help! No! Wait! Stop! Help!"

PAGE 18: Vegresso // START

Human:As Duga, Marko, and Vedro reenters the cantina they find it to be in ruins as the people inside are throwing things and fighting. Upon walking in, Vedro is almost immediately glassed

Rai:In the back of the room, they find the only place that isn't in riot mode is Rai and his table as anytime someone gets near them, they are thrown away or shot

Marko:Marko looks at the scene and back to Vedro who is now dripping with some alcoholic drink before looking back to Duga

"I believe we should leave."

Duga:"I would not disagree. To the hotel."

Vedro:He tries to avoid the glassing, as he says, "See, told you."

Marko:He keeps on eye on Duga, and looks over to Vedro

"I guess you were right."

one eye*

Duga:He's heading out

Marko:"Want to join us? Perhaps we can get something on the way?"

He is going out of his way to keep that one eye on Duga as he has to turn, walking around Vedro

Vedro:"Sure, I got nothing else to do." He says, going to go with them

Duga:He says nothing to rebuke or encourage

Marko:With an answer, Marko walks alongside Vedro, following Duga

"Do you think the other's will be heading to the hotel or the cantina?"

Duga:"They will not stick around the cantina for long if they head that way."

Marko:"Do you think everyone will be violent all week?"

Jaqua:As they continue walking, they see two jaqua talking between each other before stopping as the group passes

Duga:"We'll see."

Jaqua:Seeing Vek and Olivar passes the two shudder in fear as they watch the god killers

(To Vek): "Apprentice!"

(To Olivar): "Duga!"

(To Olivar): "Zabrak!"*

Vek:He rubs his ear a bit and looks around him "Not this again.."

(To Vek): "Master!"

Olivar:"What the hell was that?!"

"Who's...Zabrak?"

Vek:"What?"

Olivar:"...you didn't hear someone saying Zabrak?"

Vek:"No."

"I heard 'Apprentice' and 'Master'."

Olivar:"...what did you hear?"

"..."

"...do you think it still has something to d owith the kid?"

Vek:"I have literally no idea."

"I think I was hearing things from this, though.." He goes to look at the crystal from earlier

Olivar:"..well, watch out for someone named Zabrak, some fucking...cosmic voices are after him.."

Vek:"..Well, that's probably the kid."

(To Vek): Vek is able to see the crystal has a dim glow to it

Vek:"Since he is a Zabrak."

Olivar:"Wait, that's what they're called?!"

"..."

Vek:He just rolls the crystal around in his hands a bit, before putting it back away "I think so. 's what I heard at least."

Olivar:"...do you think this has something to do with Duga?"

Vek:"D-"

He stops dead in his tracks

Olivar:"You know...apprentice and master? Both are Zabrak?"

Vek:"Okay, we gotta get to the hotel, now."

Olivar:"Yeah, this could get out of hand."

He starts jogging

"Do you think it came from that crystal?"

"...or was it just channeled?"

Vek:"Nah."

"When I heard the crystal earlier it seemed pretty unrelated."

Marko:Marko looks back to Vedro

"What about you? Do you think everyone will be fighting for the rest of the week?"

Vedro:"I can see it. This is a real big upset, as far as this place is concerned."

Marko:"Might I pertain who you are?"

attain*

Vedro:"Oh, my name is Vedro, and I'm a freelance doctor."

Marko:"Oh, your a doctor?"

"What does a freelance doctor do?"

Vedro:"I doctor for anyone who pays me."

Marko:"Oh, is that what freelance is? I always thought it was when you throw a lance."

Duga:"You must have had no education on your planet."

Marko:"From what I've heard of outside planets, we seem to have a little one."

Duga:"There are great wonders on some worlds. Beacons of knowledge. Drexel was not one such place."

Marko:"Then I am excited to discover the galaxy outsiders have kept talking about."

Duga:"If you survive."

Vedro:"I'm sure it'll be fine. I've managed to survive, and I've had some of the worst things you can have happen to you happen to me."

Duga:"Is that so?"

Marko:"Like what?"

Vedro:"Yea. Why?"

Duga:"That was rhetorical. I have no intentions of prying into your past."

Vedro:"That's fucked up. You can't just ask something and not mean it."

Marko:Marko, while walking between the two, has each eye looking at one of the two

Duga:"It is not an uncommon spectacle."

Vedro:"Doesn't make it any better."

Duga:"Perhaps."

Vedro:"There's plenty of common things that people shouldn't do."

Duga:"You are not wrong. "

Vedro:"The galaxy could be a better place. But it's not like there's anything I can do about it. Or you, or anyone I know, really."

Duga:"One person can spark a change that countless can follow. To say one person can do nothing is foolish."

Vedro:"You're not wrong, but you're not right, either."

Duga:He chuckles "If that is what you choose to believe."

Vedro:"No, I mean, you misinterpreted what I meant."

"I said no one I know can. I never said one person can't, those are two different things entirely."

Duga:"Then indeed I misheard you." He continues on

Vedro:"So, anyway, what do you two do?" He said, as they kept walking, "I've talked enough about myself."

Duga:"I am a simple traveler."

Marko:"I am following my meister on his journey as I become sith."

Vedro:"A Sith? I know very little about them... uh..." He rubs his head, "Why would you want to become one?"

Marko:"I wish to be free."

Vedro:"Free from what?"

Marko:"From my chains."

Vedro:"Well, good job."

Marko:"On what? I have yet to become sith."

Vedro:"I don't see any chains."

"Did you use to be a slave or something?"

"There's a ridiculous amount of those everywhere around here. But at least it's not like Hutt Space."

Marko:"Hutt space?"

Vedro:"Yea, don't go there, unless you intend on working for one. But I wouldn't recommend that."

Marko:"Why?"

Vedro:"You can't trust those nasty mother fuckers."

Marko:"Oh.. Alright, thanks for the warning."

"But I believe meister will be able to take anyone who tries to turn their back on us."

Duga:"Do not involve me in your needless squables."

Vedro:"It's not them you gotta look out for, it's their influence. They're rooted deep into criminal empires."

"Some aren't as dangerous as others, but it's not worth it unless you got a good reason."

Marko:"I am following you, they will be your squables not mine."

Duga:"And it should stay that way."

Marko:".. Why are you getting into squabbles if they're needless?"

Vedro:"..." He just looks over at them

Duga:He sighs "I mean that if there are troubles, you should not be causing them."

Marko:"Yes, meister."

With this, they finally arrive at the motel the group is staying at

Duga is aware of the two rooms they have, one holds himself, Marko, Olivar, and Talz, the other holds Vek, Tyzen, and Qotaro if he chooses to sleep there

hotel*

Duga:He turns to the two "If you wish to continue to chat, so be it. I shall be meditating." He starts for the room

Marko:".. I thought we were getting drinks?"

Marko questions with a confused expression&

Duga:"I never expressed such a desire."

Vedro:"Alright, well, good luck with that."

Marko:Duga is able to go to his room as Marko looks back to Vedro

"I uh.. I seen a groalstys just down the street, want to stop there and continue talking?"

Vedro:"I mean, I thought we were going to be drinking like men, but I guess I can go for that."

Marko:As Marko goes to respond he stops and looks over as Vek, Olivar, Qotaro, and Chip arrive

"Oh, hello."

"You did well in the match, captain Vek."

Qotaro:"Baah..." He said, approaching, as he looked to Vek and Olivar, "Oh, good." He put his blaster up then

Vedro:"Oh hey, it's you guys."

Vek:"It's a shame you weren't there."

Vedro:"Yea, good job in those fights."

Vek:"Thanks."

Olivar:"Oh, hey doc! What brings you around here?"

Marko:"Thank you, if I was in better condition I might have offered to join you."

Vedro:"Not much, when shit hit the fan I got out of there."

"I'm out of a job, and I ran into this guy and his... uh... meister... at the cantina."

"And they just talked to me as I made my way here."

Vek:"Just ignore them."

Olivar:He nods

Vedro:"... Damn."

Marko:"Oh.."

Vek:"If they start saying some weird shit about passion just turn the other way."

Olivar:"Speaking of which, should we try and find the kid or Duga first?"

Vedro:"Oh, he said something about his chains earlier."

"But I don't see any chains."

Olivar:"Same here!"

Marko:Marko looks between the group after this, feeling a little awkward

Vek:he peeks into their room

Vedro:"Seriously, I think you're good on those chains." He says, to Marko

Marko:"... Well the chains were keeping me held at Drexel but.. I'm not there any more."

"So maybe.. Am I sith?"

Vedro:"See, you broke 'em."

"I don't think you're a Sith. I think you just... left."

Vek:"I think you're going about this all wrong, Marko."

"You don't have to be a sith to be free."

Vedro:"Yea. I'm free, and I'm not a Sith."

"At least, I don't think I am."

Qotaro:"Gaah... Sith no good."

(To Vek): He is able to see Tyzen sitting on the bed and Talz standing next to him as they watch holo TV

Qotaro:"Free? Yes!"

"Sith? Free? No."

"Gatcha."

Vek:He looks to Olivar "Tyzen's fine, Talz is with him."

Olivar:"Hm...let's confront Duga first, then."

Vedro:He looks to Qotaro, "Huh, don't see that every day."

Marko:"But, meister said that only when my chains are broken will I be free."

Qotaro:"Rodian? No slave? Huh..."

Vedro:"I was one too, but that was a good while ago."

Vek:"Oh, yea, I almost forgot about that.."

"Sorry about your planet."

Vedro:"Well damn man, you're free."

"Once again, good job."

Marko:"But meister said.. That once my chains are gone.. I'll be sith."

Qotaro:"No, no chains. No Sith."

"Gatcha."

Vek:"There were never any chains."

Marko:Marko looks to Vek and pauses

".. They were a metaphor."

Vek:"No shit?"

Marko:He says very lowly

Vedro:"I think you're good. There's no chains I see. Metaphorically, either."

"Except maybe that your, uh, meister... but that's about it."

Olivar:"The only chains that were there were the ones you put yourself."

"When you thought there were chains, they came into a metaphorical existance."

• existence

Marko:"I.. My sister didn't want to leave.. And I couldn't leave her, but he.."

"She.."

"I don't know."

Vek:"Huh?"

Vedro:"What?"

Vek:"What about your sister?"

Olivar:"What?"

Qotaro:"Wah?"

Olivar:"Continue?"

Marko:"Duga said that.. She would only make me weak."

Qotaro:"W-... no."

Olivar:"...really?"

Qotaro:"Bonds? Strong."

Olivar:"...what did you...do?"

He's getting suspicious

Vek:he pats Qotaro's shoulder

And Olivar's

Qotaro:He pats Vek's hand

Marko:"I.. I don't want to talk about it."

Olivar:He slowly looks to Vek

"..."

Vedro:He stares at him for a moment, before he says, "I mean..."

Marko:With that, Marko turns and heads into the hotel, going for his room

Vedro:"... Huh."

Vek:"Hey!"

"Is Duga in there?"

Marko:"That's what I'm about to find out."

Olivar:"...I...I really don't want to sleep in the same room as him." He whispers to Vek

Qotaro:"No sleep."

Vek:"I'm sure it'll be fine."

Olivar:He goes to follow Marko, but at a distance

Vek:He follows Olivar, but not at a distance

Marko:Olivar is able to see Marko enter their room, as he does Duga is able to hear him enter, shutting the door behind him before kneeling down in front of him and asking

"Meister."

Vedro:He looks to Qotaro, "So... what's up?"

Qotaro:"Watcha ba?"

Marko:"Please, tell me once more"

"What is our belief?"

Vedro:"... Uh huh..." He went to follow them

Qotaro:"Gaah!" He said, following along

Olivar:He opens a crack in the door to eavesdrop

Qotaro:"Gabba!"

He said, stepping up, to do it for him

Marko:Perceives! (68)

Qotaro:Makes a Thievery Check! (89)

Vedro:He walks up and just stands there, blinking

Duga:Perceives! (82)

He sits in meditation position, hands in his robe arms "That depends."

Marko:"What do we believe in?"

Vedro:He says, quietly, "This has already hit the fan."

Duga:"I believe that one should march toward power. That your passions should drive you. In life. In battle. Whether with the Force or without, the power to control your fate can only be taken. Not given."

"What you take from that and everything else you've learned forms into what you believe in."

Marko:"Then you can not give me my fate?"

Duga:"I am here to teach you the ways to take hold of your fate."

Marko:"How do I become sith?"

Olivar:He whispers to Vek "Isn't he...already a Sith?"

Vek:He shrugs

Duga:"The way of a Sith is a way of life. A philosophy. Being a Sith involves great trials and achievement. You will know when you are a Sith."

Marko:"How?"

Duga:"If I told you that, it would be a waste. Earn the knowledge."

Marko:"How?"

Duga:"Learn. Think. Some questions are not to seek others' answers."

for you to *

Marko:"If I am to find my own answers and not others'?"

Then*

Duga:"Exactly."

Marko:Marko stands and grips his spear

"Thank you, meister."

"I believe you have done your job."

"Hopefully we will meet again."

With that, Marko turns and begins to walk towards the door

"However for now, this is goodbye."

Olivar:He sighs, and then realizes that Marko's heading their way "Oh shit.."

Vedro:"Huh."

Duga:"Know now, that if you walk away, I shall kill you upon our next meeting for forsaking my training."

Qotaro:"Gaaah... trash." He said, stepping back

Olivar:He was about to walk away, and then he heard taht

"..."

He just rapidly looks to the others around

Vek:He's still just waiting by the door

Marko:".."

He stops

Qotaro:"See? Sith trash."

Vedro:"Man, that's pretty extreme."

Duga:"Look at it as a test."

Marko:Marko looks back to Olivar and asks with both eyes on him

"But you.. finished your training?"

Duga*

Duga:"Not at all. You seemed to have heard much. How much you have learned remains to be seen."

Qotaro:"Gatcha..."

Marko:"You said that you are to teach me how I achieve my fate, and my fate is achieved by finding my own answers, not following others."

Duga:"This does not mean you should abandon the teachings of others."

Marko:"I.."

"I don't know what to do."

"Should I follow my own path or yours?"

Duga:"Taking from their teachings. From others' experience. Understanding what makes them weak. Finding your strengths. It is all part of finding your answers."

Olivar:He whispers "...I thought their thing was about...spiritual slavery and chains..."

"Not...this."

Marko:"...."

Marko thinks for a good minute

Vedro:"They're just saying a lot about nothing, really."

Olivar:"...it kinda sounds like their agreeing with each other, but they don't want to agree."

Vedro:"... Yea, I think I see what you mean."

Marko:"You.. Okay, so wait.. wait, wait, wait."

"You think.."

"I don't know."

"Wait."

Vek:"How long are they going to keep at this?"

Qotaro:"Gaah! Trash."

"All trash."

Marko:"So.. What is your driving passion?"

Duga:"To spread my belief." He raises a fist to his chest "Power comes from knowledge. And that power is what I strive for. Personal strength is also an objective as it is for most any Sith."

Olivar:"...I feel like they're both giant assholes..."

Marko:".. You.."

Vedro:"Hey man..." He doesn't say anything else

Marko:"Knowledge?"

Qotaro:He nods, "Gatcha."

Olivar:"...it's like they're trying to cover up a want to just...stomp on other people."

Marko:"Your passion is knowledge?"

"I.."

Olivar:"I don't know, I'm not a philosopher."

Marko:"I don't fucking.."

"I don't fucking care about your stupid god damn knowledge!"

Qotaro:"Oooh?" He leans in

Marko:"I just.."

Qotaro:"Oooh... it's coming!"

Marko:"Oh god..'

"Oh.."

Vek:He steps in the room "Hey, this a bad time?"

Marko:"What have I done?"

Vedro:"Oh, uh..."

Olivar:He follows

Vedro:He walks in, "Hey, buddies. Wanna go... get some... drinks?"

Marko:"I.. My people.. We thought you were supposed to lead us away."

"You were supposed to help us find our strength."

Qotaro:"Waaah!" He falls in, as he had been leaning with his ear on the door

Duga:He stands "And now those weaklings feed sea life."

Marko:"..."

Vedro:"Alright, hold on now."

"I feel like I just walked into something I didn't need to."

Marko:"Why did we do that?"

Qotaro:"Trash."

He then stands up, rubbing his head

Olivar:"Yeah, what about weakling and sleeping with the fishes?"

• weaklings

Vedro:"You know, I wasn't anticipating this, but I should have been."

Duga:"Because they didn't have the strength to find their own ideals within the teachings of others. They simply followed along like nerfs. They thought power came in numbers. In blind obedience. No. Their weakness was that they didn't serve themselves."

Marko:"...."

"Then you.. Then I should.. What should I do?"

Vek:"Take a smoke break."

"Clear your head."

Vedro:"Get a drink."

Qotaro:"Gabba cha!"

Marko:Marko looks to the group that he didn't even notice before

"..."

"I need.. Help."

Vek:"Yea?"

Vedro:"For what?"

"Are you sick?"

Qotaro:He nods, "Yes."

Marko:"I'm confused."

Vek:"Aren't we all."

Vedro:"Oh, uh... what?"

Duga:"Indecisiveness will only lead to your doom."

Marko:Marko looks back to Duga

"I.. I think it already has."

Olivar:"...what the fuck's a nerf?"

Vedro:"..." He looks to Olivar, his mind blown

He looks back to them afterwards, "... Damn."

Marko:He looks back to Vek

"Captain... May I ask a favor?"

Vek:"Shoot."

Marko:"The boy on the ship, the one similar to Meister Duga. Is he yours?"

Vek:"..mine?"

Qotaro:"... Oh." He listens carefully*

Marko:"Is he your child?"

Duga:As does he

Vek:"No."

Marko:"Why do you bring him along?"

Vek:"Well, first we were looking for his mother."

"Then Drexel got fucking raided, so we had to get out of there."

Marko:"At the moment, I suppose you see me as grouped with Meister Duga, I wish to ask if you will allow me to stay as a separate entity. Perhaps join your crew, as the boy's guard."

Duga:"Fine. Forsake me. Do what you wish." He waves a dismissive hand "After you killing your sister, I should have known you'd never make a good Sith."

Vek:"k-"

Vedro:"... Oh."

"Oh."

Qotaro:"Waaah!"

Marko:"..."

Marko bows

"I have made terrible decisions in the past.. I can understand if you say no, I simply want a chance to learn of the world while not being under Meister Duga's tutelage."

Vek:he looks at Duga "You gonna try to kill him?"

Vedro:"Man..."

"Why the hell did you kill your sister?"

Marko:"I believed it was what Meister Duga wanted."

Vedro:"W-..."

Marko:"He said she would keep me from my true strength."

Duga:"So he took an off comment as a means to burn half a city."

Marko:"My people had believes that you unwittingly encouraged."

beliefs*

Vek:"Your peoples' beliefs were a little nutty."

Marko:"As I said, I believed

"I can understand why an outsider would have that belief, and I will not argue as every outsider that has come to our home seemed to have shared that thought."

Duga:He chuckles "I am now to blame for some groups genocidal tendencies, eh? As flattering as it sounds, I don't believe it quite true."

Vek:"M-"

"They all thought I was their lord and savior and committed mass suicide when I denied them. That's fucking nutty, Marko."

Olivar:"What the fuck, man."

"Just...damn."

Marko:Marko's grip on his spear tightens as he says

"I do not blame you, Meister. I have said, it is the way I believed. As for our peoples beliefs.. Wait, you?"

Marko looks up from his bow and asks

"You denied them?"

Duga:"Now do you understand why I called them fools?"

Vek:"Yea. I said I was from Tatooine and they started chanting and going crazy, and they wouldn't take no for an answer so I played it up a bit."

Marko:"Our people believed that a person who wielded a glowing sword and who came from a desert planet would take them to a better place, but he would only take those worthy."

Qotaro:"Dumb."

(From Duga): Why did I try to teach this bafoon?

Marko:"You have your believes, we had ours. I however..."

"Don't know what my belief is."

"That is why I ask to join you."

Vek:"Regardless, Duga, are you going to kill him?"

Duga:"He's not worth the effort. Keep him or cast him out."

Vek:"Okay, sure, you can stay."

Marko:"Are there any conditions?"

Vek:"Don't burn any cities down."

Qotaro:He blinks, "Gah..."

Marko:"Yes, captian."

Vedro:"I don't even know what just happened."

Vek:"And don't even think about turning on us."

"And forget all of that Sith nonsense."

"That should just about do it."

Marko:"I will leave your service before I strike you."

Olivar:"...can you give us a warning period?"

Vek:"I'm going to need a 2 weeks notice on that."

Marko:"Yes, captain."

"Thank you for this chance."

Vek:"Just don't waste it."

Olivar:"Well, this turned out a lot better than expected. Still don't know what a nerf is."

"But that's fine."

Vek:he looks to Duga "So, you see the Huap?"

Duga:He nods

Vek:"What'd ya think?"

Duga:"I admired your tactics at the end."

Vek:He looks to Olivar

Marko:He looks to Vek and asks

"Am I to be the boy's guard?"

Olivar:He's just giving a thumbs up

Vek:"Let's start off with just ship-guard."

He looks back to Duga and Olivar, now "Anyway, the prize money was a bust. Not 1,000,000, not 500,000, not 1,000, not even 1."

Marko:"Yes, captain."

Duga:"Well, your bets paid off, at least."

Vedro:"How much did those pay off?"

Duga:"A small sum."

Vek:"Of?"

Duga:"Perhaps when we aren't in the company of others."

Vek:"O-"

Vedro:"..."

"Oh."

Vek:"Hey, he's cool."

"You think he can take us?"

Vedro:"I a-- Yea, I'm cool."

Olivar:He's still giving a thumbs up

Marko:"Vedro is a doctor, not a warrior. I do believe that he won't try anything, meister Duga."

Vek:"You can stop calling him meister, too."

Duga:"I am not his master."

Vedro:"Honestly, it'd be much smarter for me to ask you guys for a job than to try and kill you all for your money."

Duga:"I was more in fear of bringing a mob to rob us, but if you are sure." He reveals 50k to both Vek and Olivar each.

Marko:".."

Marko looks to Vek for a moment before nodding and saying

"My apologies, captain, it was.. habit."

Vedro:"You think I wanna deal with a mob any more than you do?"

Olivar:He takes it in his hand, caressing it

"..."

Vek:He doesn't go that far, but does take his "Alright, Vedro, with this much money we should be able to get some room for you on board."

Vedro:"Hell yea!"

"Yea, I'd be happy to join along."

Duga:"It may not be a million credits, but it is better than nothing."

Olivar:"...it's still beautiful."

Vek:"Hey, it's a fifth of what we were expecting."

Olivar:"Still pretty peeved, but it's still cool."

Vek:"Alright, well, everyone let's just try to get some rest. Qotaro, let's go see what else we can pick up for the ship..we can hire a few extra hands if you want, too, if the work gets too much."

Olivar:"I'll come along and help pick some of the parts, and maybe pick up a few things."

Qotaro:He gives a thumbs up, "Gatcha!" As he's ready to head out

Vek:"That's fine by me."

"Anyone else want to come?"

"We can get you something, too, Duga."

Vedro:"I'll come along. I got nothing to do."

Olivar:"Hey, you think we can find someone who can do lightsaber work?"

Vek:"Doubtful."

"But I made a lightsaber, once."

Olivar:"Really? Cool."

Duga:"I need armor. I do not relish the future without it."

He rubs his chest

Vek:"Will do."

He goes to head out, for now, trying to keep his head low

Marko:Marko smirks as Duga says that

(From Duga): Marko feels a slight tickle of pressure on his throat. Only enough to know it's there, but only for a brief moment

Duga:His eyes glow in his hood

Several days pass since the group first arrived as one of the two extra rooms have been added. The first two days after the Huap was chaos all over one half of the city, however everyone managed to be just fine by staying on the other side. Now finding themselves at a cantina on the other side of the city, everyone with the exception of Duga, Marko, Qotaro, Tyzen and the rest of the droids are at a cantina, and while it's on the other side of the city, it's not much nicer than the last*

Olivar:He's sipping on a drink, feet on the table "This is nice."

Vedro:He takes a swig of a drink, as he nods, "Oh yea, a lot better than it has been."

Talz:Talz sits beside Olivar asking

"I still can't believe you were in a fight, Goss, I wish I was there."

Vek:"I just hope those damned Jaquas settle down before too long."

Talz:"Been waiting all this time to use this blaster and the one time I can, I'm getting my metal shined."

Olivar:"Just be glad you haven't been in a fight. It can get pretty hairy."

Talz:"If it is my time than I will accept it."

Vek:"So, Vedro."

"You got any family?"

Olivar:"Still don't mean it won't suck."

Talz:"However until then, let us all take some time to think of all the oil that goes into making that move."

Talz says looking towards the Qondualian dancer on the stage

Vedro:"Not really, no. I lost them all a long time ago."

Vek:"Aside from Qotaro, I can say the same."

Vedro:"Ah, I'm sorry to hear. I don't know about if it's the same situation, but some slavers tried to take them. They resisted, and all got killed."

Vek:The dancer is making him uncomfortable

"Uh..well, it was Jaquas that did it for me. Twice."

Vedro:"I managed to escape afterward, but I ended up as a slave myself for a while, until I escaped that. And... damn."

"Yea, that makes sense. Jaquas are the kind to do that... sorry, though."

Vek:"So the whole Huap thing was a bit of revenge, you could say."

Vedro:"Yea, I get you."

"I don't really care for them, but I was offered a good job, so I took it. Nothing personal, of course."

Vek:"I'll be honest I just thought they had enslaved you."

Talz:Talz nudges Olivar with an elbow and says with a smile

"Why don't you get up there, Goss?"

Olivar:"...n-no, I'm good."

Talz:"Are you sure? I would if I had the sparks."

Olivar:"....Talz, I'm not into that."

Talz:"If only oil was my name."

Olivar:"You better be glad oil isn't your name."

"That's what we're trying to avoid."

Vek:"..What are we doing here, again?"

Vedro:"Getting a drink."

Vek:"..I don't drink."

He looks around him

Vedro:"... Oh."

Olivar:"A bite to eat."

"These places sell food, you know."

Vedro:"If only I had known that before..."

Vek:"I don't know if I'd trust it."

Vedro:He takes another drink

Vek:"..Either way, Olivar."

"Remind me, what're we going to Iskalon for?"

Olivar:"I'm thinking it's one of the few places we'll be able to find a friendly face. I'm surprised Solstice hasn't found us here, probably because she doesn't know I betrayed her yet, unless that one green fuck's playing her too."

"Either way, it's only recently come under control of the Purgs."

N.R.:Suddenly a man stumbles into their table as the Purgs are brought up

"Oh, god. I'm sorry."

Olivar:"By the way that princess described it, people were pretty alright with the previous governm-"

N.R.:"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to just fall into this table right here in front of me."

"I didn't see it at all."

Vedro:"..."

Olivar:"Keep walking."

Vek:"...What the hell do you want?"

Olivar:".."

"Or that. Yeah."

N.R.:"Hello my rodian friend."

The man says to Vedro before a little bit of the drink in his hand tips and spills on him

"Oh, no, oh dear."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

Vek:"Okay, keep walking."

Vedro:"Alright now."

"Come on, that wasn't necessary."

N.R.:"I don't know what ever do you mean, a simple accident is all that was."

Olivar:"Unless you want your shit pushed in, walk."

Vek:"Well you got one more of those in you before you get your ass kicked."

Vedro:"No drunk man would spill his drink and act that calm over it."

Olivar:"Hey...wait..."

"Yeah!"

N.R.:"Man.."

Olivar:He stands

N.R.:The man continues to stare at Vedro

"You got me."

"I'm not drunk, I'm just a little clumsy."

Vedro:"Yea, I did." He takes a drink of his own drink, "You're pretty damn clumsy here."

"Go on, and stumblr yourself into a sarlacc pit."

N.R.:"... Well, that wasn't very nice of you to say but I understand where it's coming from."

The man falls to his knees and looks at everyone at the table

"I have some creds for anyone willing to help me out."

Vedro:"You need help getting to your speeder?"

Vek:"Get on with it."

N.R.:"Ahh.."

The man points at Vedro and says with a wink

"I like this rodian, he's far better than others I've met."

Olivar:He takes a step

"Move. Along."

Vedro:"Alright, you know, come on now. Like they said, move on, unless you got a serious job."

N.R.:"Alright, listen.."

"My name is N.R."

"And I have a friend, right?"

"I have a friend who needs a ride out of here."

"Some people are after him and I.."

Olivar:"No."

N.R.:"Well, I lost m-"

Olivar:He takes a seat

N.R.:"Well, I'm talking to the rodian anyways."

NR looks directly to Vedro

Vedro:"Why me in particular?"

Vek:"I'm the captain of the ship, buddy."

N.R.:"Because I like yo- Oh, then I am talking to you."

NR says looking to Vek

Olivar:"I wouldn't suggest it."

"Not the talking part, but the taking you on."

Vek:"Last time I tried to give someone a ride he busted my droids and tried to chuck me out my own ramp."

"Then he got his neck broken when a stray grenade blew the thing to bits."

Vedro:"Well, goddamn."

N.R.:"Well, I don't know who your last guy was but that sounds like some nasty business, if anything my friend can...."

As the man continues to talk he slowly gets lower and lower before falling asleep right there in front of them, on his knees

Vek:"...."

He goes to pick him up

Olivar:He grabs his wallet, checking his I.D.

N.R.:As he's picked up, he wakes up and looks around

"Hey, hey, now"

"I'm up.'

"Alright, as I was saying."

Vek:He's still got him in his arms "Make it quick."

Olivar:He gives him his wallet back after inspecting his I.D.

N.R.:"Wait?"

NR asks as he's handed the wallet

"Oh, I must have dropped this."

Olivar:He nods

N.R.:"Thank you, I guess you aren't that bad after all, are you soldier boy? Anyways!"

NR points to the ceiling while looking up and says

"I have a friend who has someone after him."

Vedro:"Soldier boy?" He looks to Olivar, then back to N.R., the shakes his head

N.R.:"He needs a ride."

Vek:"I thought it was the both of you?"

N.R.:"No, no."

"I am just fine."

"Well."

"I'm not just fine."

"I have to bury my crew."

"But Ashhera."

N.R.:"He didn't know anyone that well and he's on a time frame you see."

"He needs to be getting to Iskalon."

Vek:He drops him for a front row seat to the dancer

N.R.:"And while neither I or he can pay yo- oof."

The man looks at the dancer and shudders before looking back to Vek with eyes bloodshot

"He's a musician."

"He can pay you with entertainment."

Vek:"I'm not interested."

N.R.:"Oh, c'mon now, cap."

"Please, do it for an old clumsy drunk lonely man?"

Vek:"...Wait."

"Get the fuck out of my sight."

N.R.:"Yea, I knew you would come around."

"..."

Vek:"You can't even keep your story straight."

N.R.:"Oh."

"Huh?"

Vek:"I thought you 'had creds'."

Olivar:"...you think 32 is old?!"

He's offended

N.R.:"Well.."

Vedro:"Man, you gotta do better than that."

N.R.:"That creds part was a lie and I feel fifty."

"So I only lied once."

Vek:"Look, I'm sorry pal, I really am."

N.R.:"Man.."

Vek:"But we can't make everyone's problems our problem."

N.R.:"I got you, I got you."

Vek:"wait.."

N.R.:NR stands, stumbling a bit

"One last time."

"Will you do it?"

Olivar:"...is someone threatening you?"

N.R.:"What?"

NR looks to Olivar

Olivar:"It sounds like to me you're being threatened."

"To get this person on our ship."

N.R.:"Nope."

Vek:He was going to ask another question, but is intrigued by Olivar's accusation, watching, for now, trying to avoid looking at the dancer

Olivar:Perceives! (65)

N.R.:Charms! (62)

NR isn't lying

Olivar:"...uh huh..."

"So, no one is...persuading you any way, not with cash or whatever to get them on our ship?"

N.R.:"You got it right, soldier boy!"

NR says pointing to the dancer

"Myself."

Vedro:"... What the f-..." He looks around

Vek:"W-"

"What does the fucking dancer have to do with this?"

Vedro:"This man is drunk as hell."

"He can't convince me otherwise."

N.R.:"What?"

NR asks moving his hand from the dancer to Vek

Vek:"What the fuck are you doing?"

N.R.:"I just need to know if I can die yet."

Vedro:"..."

Vek:"What?"

Vedro:"You know, like... the f-.."

N.R.:"Tch tch tch tch."

"Listen."

Vedro:"Alright, come on now."

Vek:he backs up

Olivar:"...are you secretly a droid?"

"Did you get wet?"

N.R.:"What?"

NR asks looking to Olivar

"No, no, my middle name is no oil."

Olivar:He reaches for his lightsaber

"Say that again."

Talz:Talz stands

Olivar:"SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME!"

Vek:"O-Olivar!"

Talz:"Your middle name."

"Is not."

"Oil."

Vedro:"I don't even know why that's so personal."

N.R.:"Yea, that's what I said."

Olivar:"If you don't get the fuck out of here in five seconds, you're a dead man."

Talz:"Don't you mock me."

Vedro:"What the fuck?!"

N.R.:"Don't you mock me."

Talz:".."

Talz reaches for his gun

Vedro:"WHOA!"

Talz:Makes a Dexterity Check! (79)

N.R.:Makes a Dexterity Check! (41)

NR isn't fast enough to dodge the bullet

Talz:Attacks! (91)

Vedro:"Holy shit..."

Olivar:"HOLY SHIT!"

N.R.:"Oh uh."

Defends! (13)

Olivar:"What was that?!"

"What the hell was that?!"

N.R.:The man is shot straight in the shoulder

Vedro:"See, he's drunk."

"He can't even feel it."

Olivar:"Was that a material shooter?!"

"What?!

• "

"Talz?!"

Vedro:"... Yea, you're right."

"It was a lot louder."

Olivar:"How old are you?!"

Human:Everyone in the room stands and points gun at the group

N.R.:"Ow."

Vedro:"And there we go."

Olivar:"...well shit a brick."

Vek:"......"

N.R.:NR says before hitting the ground

Olivar:"Wait! Wait!"

"He's okay!"

Vedro:He takes a drink

Olivar:"He just said ow!"

Vedro:"Here, I got this."

"I'm a doctor."

Olivar:"See?! It's okay!"

Vedro:He takes a tall drink, before standing up to go take a look at him

Human:No one seems to be listening as Talz lowers the gun to point at NR's head

Olivar:He pushes up the gun

"No."

Vedro:"Alright, metal man, calm down."

Talz:"Don't mock my circuits."

Vedro:"This isn't the time or the place."

Olivar:"Pick and choose your battles."

"Don't pick this fucking one..."

Vek:"Olivar, keep your droid in control."

Talz:Talz looks at Vek

Vedro:"You're gonna give me goddamn heart palpitations."

Olivar:"He's not my droid."

Talz:"I am no droid."

Olivar:"Yeah."

Talz:"I am no ones droid."

Vek:"...."

He swings at Talz

Talz:"Cap"

Olivar:"WHA?!"

Vedro:"Oh, fuck me."

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (98)

Talz:Defends! (92)

Olivar:"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"Calm down! We're on the same god damn team!"

Talz:The droid is hit upside the head and forced back onto the table

"Oh... sparks, I think I blew a gasket."

Olivar:He picks up Talz

Vek:"Droid or no droid, don't fire without orders, control yourself or you can get off the Ural."

Olivar:"Just...calm down."

Vedro:"Alright, everyone, please."

Talz:"I don't believe I like the cap, Goss."

Vedro:"For a few moments at least, I need to perform an examination."

Olivar:"I mean, he's right in this situation."

"That wasn't a good call, Talz."

"Look around us."

"We got all eyes on us. The last thing we want."

Talz:"I want to leave."

Olivar:"What?!"

Talz:"I want to leave this cantina."

Vedro:"Quiet now..."

He goes to take a knee and inspects N.R.

Vek:"Well, I doubt we're much welcomed anymore, regardless."

Olivar:"Oh..."

He looks to N.R. "...after we deal with this, we're leaving."

N.R.:Vedro is able to see that the man's wound isn't too bad and with the skill he has at most a scar will be left

Talz:Talz puts his gun up

Vedro:"Oh, yea, this is fine... not too bad at all. I can handle this."

"I'll have this guy fixed in no time at all."

"Good thing the bullet didn't hit anywhere else."

Human:Seeing Talz put up the gun and everyone trying to calm the situation, everyone else in the cantina goes back to what they were doing

Vek:He sighs, and looks to N.R "Where's your friend at?"

Vedro:He goes to start working on him in the background as Vek talks to him

N.R.:NR grabs Vedro's hand and says

"Please.. I'll be fine, don't waste time or supplies on me."

Vedro:"... I mean..."

"Alright then."

He stands up

N.R.:He then looks to Vek as he holds onto Vedro as long as he can before his hand hits the ground

"He's at the docks."

"Over near lake Minosuto"

"Dock four oh five."

"His name is as I said earlier, Ashhera."

"Does this mean you'll accept him?"

Vek:"We'll see what he has to say for himself, first."

N.R.:"Then my part is done."

NR looks to the roof and says

"I can now go back to my life."

With that he closes his eyes and as far as anyone can tell, he's dead

Vedro:"..."

Vek:"Vedro, is he dead?"

Vedro:He walks over and inspects him in-depth

Takes a knee again*

(To Vedro): The man isn't dead, just in a deep sleep

Vedro:"No. He's not dead."

"It would fool mot people though."

most*

"He's basically in a really deep sleep, is the easiest way to put it."

Olivar:"...so...hibernation?"

Vek:"....Somethings going on here."

Vedro:"I suppose. It's just kinda strange..."

"It' not normal. It was like a switch."

Olivar:"...."

Vek:"We're taking him with us."

Human:Suddenly a human jumps up and throws his glass at a Twi'lek man standing near him as he screams

"They won't stop!"

"The voices keep talking!"

Vedro:He looks over, "Oh, there we go."

"Always one of those everywhere I go."

Olivar:"...."

"I think..."

Vek:"....Olivar, be ready."

"Something isn't right about any of this."

Olivar:"...I think something dark is approaching..."

Vek:"Vedro, keep a hold of N.R."

Human:Suddenly the man is shot by the twi'lek before the twi'lek is shot ten fold by half the people in the bar as the bar tender calls out

"NOW DAMN IT!"

"I'm tried of all these gun shots in the bar!"

"One a day!"

"That's it!"

Vedro:"You're right." He then stood up again, grabbed his drink, and took a drink of it, before nodding, "Alright." He then put his drink down and picks up N.R., before looking over

Human:"That has been the limit since it's creation!"

"Anyone who wants to break that limit can go some where else!"

As he finishes, the bar tender is shot even more than the twi'lek by just about everyone in the bar besides the group

Olivar:He leans to whisper to Vek "I think that something's fucking with the force..."

Vek:".....Always a shithole...." He grumbles to himself, as he gives Olivar a slight nod "Definitely possible.."

The scene shifts to Tyzen as he walks up beside Duga in the library

Tyzen:"What are you reading?"

Duga:"A very brief history of the Huap."

"I say brief because only about ten words in the text are in basic."

(To Duga): It has little on the event and just that the Jaqua believe him to be their god

Tyzen:"What's it say?"

"Oh."

Duga:"He was the Jaqua god on this planet. There is not much else to it."

Tyzen:"Anything else of interest in here?"

Duga:"There is a very interesting text on the empire from a few centuries ago." He pulls a data slate from a shelf "

Tyzen:"I don't much care for the empire. Anything on.. Weapons?"

"Like blasters?"

Duga:"Perhaps...." He files through the slates "What about this?" He pulls out :The Biggest Blaster in the Outer Rim"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks at the twi'lek female licking the barrel of a blaster

"Huh.. Are you sure this.. is about blasters?"

Duga:"Likely not."

Tyzen:"... Have any creds?"

Duga:"Be resourceful."

Tyzen:".. Uh huh."

Tyzen looks around and sees only one librarian sitting at a desk at the front of the building

"How many datapacks do you think they have here?"

Duga:"Enough to not notice one missing." He's looking at his history text

Tyzen:"Anything else interesting around here?"

Duga:He looks around "Armor. Scrap and Power. Hm..Interesting"

Tyzen:"What kind of power?"

"Like, strength?"

Duga:"Likely mechanical aid."

Tyzen:"Droids?"

Duga:"Something like that."

Tyzen:"I'll go looking around, maybe I can find something for Qotaro."

Duga:"That's not a bad idea."

Tyzen:With that, Tyzen leaves Duga's side and goes looking around for some droid/ship books

Duga:*He looks for anything on the current state of the Sith, not expecting much if anything."

Narrator:Duga finds only one thing which tells of a sith group adventure that started similarly to his own

With Duga reading about the future affairs of a group of rag tags who follow ideals of the sith, the scene shifts to Marko who stands next to Qotaro*

Marko:"So.. What all are you adding to the ship?"

Qotaro:"Uuh... a gah. A gar. A hah. A har. Gabba ga, gatacha!'

Marko:"Oh.. And.. That's going to take how long?"

Chip:"Long."

Marko:Marko looks to Chip and nods before looking back to Qotaro

"Well, if there is anything I can help with, just let me know."

Qotaro:"Mmmm... gatcha. Gabaga, no, uh... no, no." He shakes his head

The scene now focuses back on the original group as Vedro carries NR out of the cantina and they make their way to the lake

Olivar:"I don't trust this. Not at all."

Vek:"You and me both."

"But I don't think we can just walk away from this.."

Vedro:"There's some really odd things going on here..."

Olivar:"Man start hearing voices, and so have we? This clumsy dude just starts to hibernate?"

"Bad juju."

N.R.:The man hasn't made a single noise since his deep sleep began, barley even breathing

Vedro:"There's some really odd things going on here..."

Vek:"No shit..."

He looks for Dock 405

Narrator:Vek and group are able to find a dock with a sign that reads these numbers soon after arriving at the lake, however the dock is full of people, all doing different things from having lunch, talking, chilling, watching the fish, fishing, watching the fishermen, swimming, kissing, reading, and of course a couple doing summer salts

summersaults*

Vek:".....busy place."

Olivar:"I say we look for someone who looks particularly suspicious, or wait for them to find us."

Vek:"Hopefully they'll recognize their friend here."

Talz:It's at this moment that the group are able to hear music that brings Talz to tears as he looks to the group and says

"Of, Goss."

Vedro:"... Come again?"

Olivar:"What?"

Talz:"That music..."

"It cools my insides."

Vedro:"That's weird, man."

Talz:"And warms my eyes."

Talz looks back to the docks and begins searching for the source

Vedro:"Come on, this is putting me to sleep."

"If you want real music, listen to some Rodian Power Metal."

"Or Wookie Hair Rock."

Vek:"Both sound better than Tyzen's affinity for Underground Droid Rap.."

Olivar:"Talz, stay with us. Something fishy is going on here. We should stick together." He looks to Vedro "I've recently become a fan of Underground Droid Rap."

"..."

Vek:"..."

Talz:"But goss!"

Vedro:"I've heard a bit about it."

Olivar:"...let's ignore that..."

Vek:"Look, it's not all bad."

"Lead on, Talz."

"N.R said the guy was a musician, right?"

Olivar:"Oh, yeah! You're right!"

Talz:"Yes!"

Talz fist pumps as he begins jogging for the noise

Olivar:He looks to Talz "Good thinking."

Vedro:"Man, I hope this isn't his best."

Vek:He follows Talz cautiously

Ashhera:As they follow the sounds of the flute, they are able to find a man playing a oddly shaped one on a box against the edge of the dock

Vek:"Hey."

"We found your friend."

Vedro:"Hey! You know how to play other instruments?"

Ashhera:The Bith looks to the group and stops his playing as he says

"I know how to play many intruments, friend. And I.. Know him, however I wouldn't call us friends."

Vedro:"Alright, good.

"This flute stuff is cool, but... I'm a Rodian Metal Machine."

Ashhera:"Oh? Do you play an instrument?"

Vedro:"I'd love to learn how to."

Ashhera:"How about this?"

Vedro:"But I can keep up with the rhythm pretty well."

"Huh... a bit nicer..."

He taps his foot

Ashhera:The bith begins playing a jig of sorts

Vek:"Look, stop playing for five seconds, we've got some questions to ask you."

"We're not playing any games."

Ashhera:The bith stops after a few more blows

"Yes?"

Vek:"Who wants you dead?"

Ashhera:"I'm.. Sorry?"

"I don't know?"

Olivar:He's standing there, stoic

Ashhera:"Are you here to kill me?"

Vek:"I didn't plan on it."

Olivar:"...what is everyone else doing?"

He looks to Vek

Ashhera:"If so, please, allow me to die playing."

Olivar:"I have a feeling we're being distracted."

Ashhera:He looks to the man and says

"Has he finally given out?"

Vek:"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Fill in the details, please."

"This guy ruined our session at the cantina trying you get you a ride off this planet."

Ashhera:"Really? Now that is interesting."

"I've only known the man for a month, but while on his ship all he wanted to do was get me off of it."

"He actually attacked me several times, if not for his crew, I'm sure I would be dead by now."

"How unfortunate it turned out for them."

Vedro:"W-..."

Perceives! (90)

Ashhera:Charms! (112)

Vedro:"... Well damn."

Olivar:"What...happened?"

Ashhera:Vedro is unable to determine rather or not he is telling the truth but is pretty sure he is

"We were attacked."

"Myself and poor NR here were the only ones to live."

Olivar:"Who attacked you?"

Vek:"Who attacked you?"

"Yea."

Ashhera:"That cyborg purg bastards wouldn't let us through."

Those*

Vek:"..."

Olivar:He leans over to Vek "Purgs are the gang of cyborgs, remember?"

Ashhera:"I was on my way to Iskalon and it turns out that sometime recently they took over the city."

Vek:"..."

Ashhera:"Such a shame, my best friend lived there."

"I'm sure he's dead now... Almost makes me cry if I hadn't left off on bad terms with him."

Vek:He looks to Olivar

Ashhera:"Well, the other way around, but still."

Olivar:He looks to Vek, and shakes his head

Vek:"Alright, well...N.R here isn't dead, he just looks like it."

Ashhera:"Oh.. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one, after all of his crew died he's pretty much been looking for death ever since."

"Poor man."

Olivar:"What do you mean by let you us through?"

"What didn't they let you guys through?"

Ashhera:"I mean, I understand, everyone on that ship, with the exception of me, were people he had grown up with me"

Olivar:"That doesn't answer my question."

Ashhera:with.*

"Huh? Oh, why didn't they let us through?"

Olivar:"...yeah."

"What didn't they let you through, too."

Ashhera:"Because no one is allowed on Iskalon right now."

Vek:"Well, that's some tough shit for them."

"I don't give a shit about what some fucking purgs say."

Ashhera:"Well, I wish you luck then..."

"Actually."

"If you're headed that way, I am looking for a ride there, if you have the space."

Olivar:"Why did N.R. try and kill you?"

"Several times?"

Ashhera:"Not kill me, attack me."

Olivar:"Close enough."

Ashhera:"It's not."

Olivar:"Just answer the god damn question."

Ashhera:"But he attacked me because I am an alien."

Olivar:"..."

"I don't buy it."

Ashhera:"He is very raciest."

Vek:"Why the fuck did he let you on his ship?"

Ashhera:"Wasn't his ship."

"It was his brother's."

Olivar:He thinks back to when he seemed to not mind a bar full of aliens and an alien stripper

Vek:"Look, I just more than doubled the amount of people on board, I'm really not looking to add more. I can get you to the next planet over but that's it."

"...Well, next planet we're stopping on."

Ashhera:"Is it on the way towards Iskalon?"

Vek:"Yea, Zhar."

Ashhera:"Oh.. Well, the closer the better, should I take it you're the captain?"

Vek:"Correct."

Ashhera:"Well, thank you for accepting me aboard your ship, friend."

The bith hops from his box and picks it up

"Should I place my items on your ship?"

Vek:"Not right now, we're renovating."

Ashhera:"Alrighty, when shall we be leaving, I'll make sure to be there."

Vek:He gives him a rough estimate

Ashhera:"That's fine, I have no where to be or nothing to do until.. Well, ever."

"I have nothing at all going on in my life."

Vek:"Man, you should meet Duga."

Olivar:He starts laughing

Ashhera:"Well, besides getting on Iskalon."

"I wish to meet my son."

Vek:"Your son's not a Zabrak, right?"

Alaska (GM):"I don't believe so."

Ashhera:"I don't believe so."

Vek:"..You don't know?"

Ashhera:"The bad terms my friend and I left on was him getting with my wife."

"I left and it wasn't until just this year that she sent me a message telling me she had our baby."

"So, now I'm on my way back home to meet him.. Her.. Them."

Vek:"So..your wife was a..."

Ashhera:"She was a Bith like myself."

Vek:"And your friend was.."

Ashhera:"A Dugabol."

"I'm sorry, that was uncalled for."

Vek:"...What?"

Vedro:"Man, you got played."

"Did you kick your friend's ass?"

Olivar:"What's a Dugabol? Is that like a nerf?"

Ashhera:"He was a Arcona."

"No, a Dugabol is a.. Well, they're hard to describe but they're bad."

Vek:"....."

"What the fuck?"

Ashhera:"Yea, I never could wrap my head around her choice but I know my wife, while she cheated on me, she would never lie, at least not about this."

Vek:He leans against something "I think I'm gonna be sick.."

Vedro:"So this is your child, for sure?"

Olivar:"Sick? Why? What's an Arcona?!"

Ashhera:"Yes, I do believe so."

Olivar:"Is it like...a giant blue thing with fucking multiple eyes?!"

"If so, I know one of those guys."

"His name was Blue."

Vedro:"..."

Ashhera:"Blue Ber?"

Olivar:"I dunno. We were on a first name basis."

Ashhera:"Well, that doesn't sound like Blue Ber."

Vek:He chuckles to himself

"Alright, well, like you said they're probably all dead."

"But we'll give it a shot."

Ashhera:"Thank you, friend."

"I wonder if Jaimrap will be there."

Vek:he just rubs his neck "Alright, well, I'd love to sit here and talk about all your old friends I don't know, but we should get going."

Ashhera:"Oh, yes, yes, go on, please, don't let me keep you. I will make sure to be.. Where is your ship?"

Olivar:He looks to Vek

Vek:He tells him where the ships at

Ashhera:"I will be there, thank you again, friend."

With that said, Ashhera sits his box down and goes back to playing his flute

Talz:"Can we keep him, Goss?"

Talz asks as he wipes a tear from his eye

Olivar:"Can we- what?"

He looks to Ashhera "...I don't think that's our choice, and if it was, I'd say no."

"I don't think anyone is keeping him, he's a free man."

Talz:"But.. He's.. The sound."

Olivar:"..yeah."

"It's a...it's a sound."

Talz:"I want it in my torso forever and ever, Goss."

Olivar:"Talz, you are getting pretty weird."

Vek:"Let's just get out of here, guys." He heads back for where they are staying

Olivar:He follows

Vedro:He comes along

PAGE 18: Vegresso // END

PAGE 19: Zhar pt.2 // START

Ural:With the group finally leaving Vegresso with two new members aboard the upgraded Ural, Qotaro finds himself behind the pilot seat with Bait in the passenger as Tyzen and Marko sit in the extra bedroom, talking. R3 is parked beside the ramp with Talz sitting on the ground in the droid charging room, watching Ashhera send music through the ship

Qotaro:"Waaah... gatcha ba!" He said, rubbing his head a bit, piloting the ship

Vedro:He was leaned back, looking out the window, "Space is so empty..."

Duga:He meditates in one of the rooms

Vek:He was sitting in his usual spot, within view of Qotaro and Bait, as he was just taking it easy

(To Vek): "Master!" The voices begin whisper once again as Vek chills

(To Duga): "They'll betray you! They'll kill you!" As he's meditating, Duga begins hearing hundreds of tiny whispering voices in the back of his mind

Vek:He rubs the back of his neck a bit, and looks around "Feels nice, having the old girl fixed up like this."

Tyzen:Tyzen exits the extra room and walks over to Vek and asks

"Hey, do you.. Hear that? Marko can't hear it but I don't know how well his species can hear."

(To Vek): The voices intensify as Tyzen gets closer

Vek:"Uh..yea, I think so. Not everyone can hear them, though."

(From Duga): He ponders these voices, trying to ascertain whether it's paranoia or the Force warning him

Tyzen:"Really? Why not?"

(To Duga): "They are planning to leave you! Don't trust them! Run!"

Vek:"...Uh.."

He doesn't really know the answer himself

"Some people are just different."

(To Vek): "Unit! Master!"

(From Duga): His face twitches within his hood

(To Vek): "Unite! Master!"*

Vek:"..."

(To Duga): "Stay but don't trust! Careful!"

Tyzen:"Alright."

He then looks to Qotaro and asks

"Where are we going?"

Qotaro:"Zhar!" He said, as he pointed ahead from the console, "Gabba ga!"

Tyzen:"Wait, we're going back there?"

Qotaro:"Uh, ga... gabba da."

(From Duga): Those with the connection to the Force might feel his emanating anger as he channels it to clear his mind

Tyzen:"What about the stormtrooper? And the girl?"

Qotaro:"Trash."

Vek:"That's why we painted the Ural."

Olivar:He walks out of the bathroom "Ooh wee."

Vek:"...And I mean.."

He looks around

"There's like 4 of us with lightsabers, I think that girl is fucked if she comes at us."

(To Vek): As he says this, Vek hears voices begin to scream from Duga's location "Hate! Anger! Agony! Kill! Betrayal! Death! Trust no one!"

(To Olivar): As he leaves the restroom, Olivar hears voices begin to scream from Duga's location "Hate! Anger! Agony! Kill! Betrayal! Death! Trust no one!"

Olivar:He falls back into the bathroom "Fuck me, dude!"

Vek:"....." He looks at Olivar "You hear that?"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks over to Vek with a worried face

Olivar:"I'm getting sick and tired of this shit!"

He starts stomping to Duga's room

Vek:He sighs, and stands up, as he heads for Duga's location

"You and me, both."

Duga:He sighs and stands as they approach

Vedro:He looks over, "What are you all talking about?" As walks over

Olivar:"What the fuck?!" He says as he opens Duga's door

"Stop that!"

Tyzen:Tyzen watches Vek head out there before looking back to Qotaro

"Do you hear the voices?"

Qotaro:"Aaah, no gabba." He shakes his hand, not even knowing what was happening

Olivar:"Just...fucking stop!"

Vek:He nods with Olivar

Duga:"I was simply meditating."

Vek:"Bullshit?"

Olivar:"You're summoning a god damn demon!"

"Did you sacrifice a small animal in here?!" He starts looking around

Duga:He's a bit dumbfounded by that

"Wh-what?"

Olivar:He looks to Duga "There was god damn demon voices!"

"And we heard them coming from in here!"

Duga:"I have been plagued by such voices myself."

Olivar:"You, the kid, and some fuck back at Vegresso's messing with the force!"

"Stop it!"

Duga:"I cannot stop it for I did not start it."

Vek:"You sure about that?"

(To Olivar): "NO!" Olivar suddenly hears a single loud voice scream right behind him before he feels something grab his neck for a second before letting go

Duga:"In this case, yes."

Olivar:He sighs "...wait, you said you were m-"

he falls to the ground, grasping at his neck

"....You wanna go?"

He stands "Trying to fucking force choke me?!"

Vek:"What!?"

He jumps back

Duga:"Hm?"

Olivar:"Something yelled NO and force choked me!"

Vedro:"I'm sorry, what happened?" He peaks his head in

Olivar:He pulls out his lightsaber

Duga:He raises his "This does not bode well."

Vedro:"Well, goddamn."

Vek:"Olivar, relax."

Olivar:"This mother fucking voice choke slammed me!"

"We're being chased by some god damn demon!"

Vek:"I don't think that's how this works."

Olivar:"The voices? They were tolerable."

"But now they're messing with reality?!"

"This shit's spooky."

Duga:He closes his eyes, focusing on attuning with the Foce, trying to feel if anything is disturbing it

(To Vek): "Olivar! Danger!"

Duga:"Calm yourselves. Focuse."

focus*

Vek:"..." He mimics Duga

Olivar:He slowly looks behind him

(To Duga): Duga is able to see a light of sorts from Vek

Narrator:Nothing is behind Olivar

Olivar:He begins to focus

Duga:He opens his eyes and looks to Vek. "You carry....a light.."

Olivar:He begins by calming his breathing, exhaling all the anger

Vek:"...Wanna be more clear about that?"

Duga:"I cannot. It is simply a light. I only see it when focusing on the Force."

(To Duga): He is no longer hearing or seeing anything

(To Vek): He is no longer hearing or seeing anything

(To Olivar): He is no longer hearing or seeing anything

Duga:"When I looked, it was gone."

Olivar:"Yeah, I'm not seeing shit."

He starts to get angry again

Vek:"Either way...just don't do that again."

Duga:"If I can help it."

Olivar:"...don't meditate for awhile."

"I think it draws something here."

He sounds a lot more serious

"It can cause bodily harm, whatever it is."

Duga:"Perhaps that could be the key to dealing with it, if is something we have any power over."

Vek:He rubs his head a bit "Look, as long as it's over for now, I don't really care."

Duga:"I would rather deal with a threat, but I will do as you say for now. It is your ship."

Vek:"I'm not even sure what we're supposed to do about some ghost in the middle of space, so if you had a plan I'm open ears."

Olivar:He leans against the wall "...just don't try and get too deep into the force..."

Duga:"Or, if all of us are prepared, we can handle it as one. That way, there is no way of being surprised."

Vek:He looks back to the doorway "Vedro."

Vedro:"Hmm?" He said, looking over

Vek:"If some freaky shit starts happening do something, alright?"

Vedro:"I'll definitely try."

"I don't know if there's anything I can do involving the force, though."

Vek:He nods, and looks back to Duga, then to Olivar "So?"

Duga:He sits back in meditation position, lightsaber on his legs

Olivar:"...wait, we're doing it now?"

Vek:"Might as well." He mimics Duga once more

Duga:He looks toward Olivar

Olivar:He exhales "Yeah, sure...might as well..."

He tries to copy Duga "...so...do we all join hands?"

"Try and focus on one thing?

"

Duga:"Just focus on the Force. Open your mind, but remain perceptive."

(To Duga): "Trust yourself, no one else." Duga is able to once against hear many small voices in the back of his head

(From Duga): He is back on guard, unsure if he was the cause of the events.

Vek:"Great, sounds like a piece of cake."

(To Duga): "You are not alone! Only you! Run! Save yourself! They are trying to get rid of you!"

Olivar:He sighs once again "Sure..."

Duga:He simply closes his eyes and does as he's prescribed

Vek:He follows as best he can

Olivar:He does the same

Vedro:He walks in, takes a seat, crosses his arms, and just watches carefully, keeping his eyes open

(To Vek): Vek is able to hear the small voices once more in the distance of his mind "Zabrak! Death! Warning! Betrayal! Working with others!"

(To Duga): "They will kill you! Run!"

(To Olivar): He isn't able to sense anything

Vek:He opens his eyes

Olivar:He does as well "....well?"

Duga:He opens his eyes. "Anything?"

Vek:"No. You?"

Duga:He shakes his head

Vek:"Guess it's passed."

Duga:"Then we'll just have to be on guard."

Olivar:"...let me try something.."

He stands, stretches "Be ready. Like, already be meditating."

"This may not work...but it worked before."

Vek:"Whatever you say." He goes back to doing so

Duga:He resumes

Olivar:"Hey! Stop messing with the force, you whiny bitch!"

(To Qotaro): Now entering the planet's atmosphere, Qotaro can land whenever he is ready

Duga:He stops, looking up at Olivar in disbelief

Vek:He waits for a few moments before opening his eyes

"I think we just need to settle down, we should be at Zhar before too long."

Olivar:He looks to Duga "...you got something to say?"

Duga:"Nothing. I'm speechless."

Olivar:"...that's what I thought."

(To Duga): "Kill him!"

Duga:He stands "Let us continue with our travels."

Qotaro:"Mmmm, gabba. Gabba gatcha." He went to land the ship

Vek:He stands, himself, and heads back

Tyzen:Tyzen walks into the room with the rest of them as they land says

"We're here!"

Vedro:He shrugs, as he gets up and walks out of the room, "At least nothing happened."

(To Duga): "Go alone!"

(To Olivar): "Go alone!"

(To Vek): "Take the apprentice!"

Vek:"Alright, well, we shouldn't be here as long as we were on Vegresso, but we might as well make the most of being here. We kinda rushed out of here last t-" He holds his head "I'm getting real sick of this shit.."

Olivar:"..."

"Oh, so now you answer?"

Duga:He sighs

Olivar:"Thanks for making me look like a retard."

Ashhera:With the ship lands, the bith walks over to the group and says

"Thank you for the ride, cap."

Vek:"Huh? Oh yea, you can stay."

Ashhera:"Wait.. Really?"

Vek:"Yea, might as well."

"It'd just seem room to boot you out, now."

rude *

Ashhera:"Well, if you're sure, I won't talk you out of it, thank you friend."

"In that case, I'll just stay aboard the ship while you all do your thing, I don't really have any creds, nor do I have anything to buy."

Vek:"You're free to do that."

He looks over at Olivar "You're coming with me, if you have no objections."

(To Vek): "No."

Olivar:"None."

(To Vek): "Olivar has another path."

Vek:"I don't give a shit what you think, he's coming with me."

Olivar:"What?"

Vek:"These fucking voices!"

Olivar:"...I think someone really wants the kid or the crystal."

"Probably both."

(To Duga): "Don't join them! They will kill you! They are plotting behind you!"

Vek:He looks at Tyzen "You too, you should stick with me."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to vek

"Well I was going to ask if I could join anyways, but.. Why do you think I should stick with you?"

Vek:"I just have a bad feeling, is all.."

Duga:"Someone or something wishes us apart."

Vek:"Yea?"

(To Duga): "Don't trust them!"

Tyzen:"What about Qotaro?"

(To Vek): "Keep him save."

Duga:"So it would seem."

Vek:"...What are you hearing, specifically?"

(To Duga): "Don't tell him!"

Vek:He looks to Tyzen "If he wants to, he can, but he might prefer staying on the ship with Chip."

"Plus they might have a wanted posted with his face on it by the droid shop, so there wouldn't be much for him to do."

Tyzen:"Alright."

Duga:"Little of meaning."

Olivar:He looks to Talz "What about you, Deputy? Wanna just stick to guard duty? You're pretty good at it in my book."

(From Duga): "Then answer my questions, if you are more than a whisper of the Force."

Talz:"I'm okay with joining you, Goss."

(To Duga): "Force"

Olivar:He gives a thumbs up

(From Duga): "What is the source of these nagging whispers?"

Talz:Talz gets ready and stands next to R3 by the ramp

Vek:"..Alright, well, I think you and Talz can do..whatever, but I need to have a word, Olivar."

Olivar:"Sure."

(To Duga): "Us." This whole time, every time they spoke it has been many and in a form of distant whispers, this time included

(From Duga): "And you are?"

Duga:He looks between the two

(To Duga): "Force."

(From Duga): "Wonderful. Enlightening even."

(To Duga): Duga is able to see Vek drag Olivar away, as he does, the whispers continue "They are plotting! They will kill you!"

(To Duga): "They don't want you! Don't trust them!"

(From Duga): And you know this how?"

(To Duga): "We are everything!"

(To Duga): "Don't tell them, play along!"

(To Duga): "But keep guard!"

(To Duga): "Marko plans to kill you as he killed his sister!"

(To Duga): "They will let him!"

(From Duga): "My own paranoia covers that much, at least."

Olivar:*As they're whispering, he can be seen doing hand motions

Vek:He shakes his head

Duga:After a moment he sighs, and watches the two

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Duga and asks

"What do you think they're talking about?"

(To Duga): "Kill the boy! He is a threat! He will bring death upon you if he lives!"

Duga:"Any number of things. I would guess it is something to do with the voices. Perhaps me. I am a subject of gossip on the ship, after all."

(From Duga): "I will slaughter all who oppose me. For now, the boy might serve me."

Tyzen:"Really?"

Duga:He simply shrugs

Tyzen:"I talked about you to Marko but I don't believe I've heard anyone else talk about you."

Duga:"Then perhaps derisive jokes. It matters not."

Tyzen:"Why not?"

Duga:"Because I will handle anything that affects me as it comes. Until then, there is no point in idling about in wonder."

Tyzen:Tyzen takes this in and thinks for a moment

"Are you coming with us?"

Tyzen asks, looking back up to Duga

Duga:"I have intention to."

"They may not, depending on how their conversation goes."

(To Duga): "Fool!"

(To Duga): "When they leave the ship you must not join them!"

(From Duga): "Words and intentions do not have to match. You are in my mind and still do not see that."

Tyzen:Tyzen nods and asks

"Well... Do you have anything here you want?"

"Last time we were here, we got in a fight."

"Someone with a lightsaber attacked us, well, we attacked her.. I don't actually know who attacked who in that situation."

"She stole Vek's creds and we chased her down but she was first to attack.. I think."

Duga:"I would not mind a challenge to prove myself to."

Tyzen:"Really? What about Vek? I'm sure he can take you for a run."

"I don't know about the other one."

Duga:"Fighting those of this ship would not do well for my chances of leaving the planet."

Tyzen:"I didn't mean fight fight, just a spar."

Vek:He nods and gives Olivar a pat on the shoulder, as he looks back over to the others "What are we talking about?"

Tyzen:"Like training."

"Fighting you."

• Tyzen says as Vek walks back over

Vek:"Oh yea?"

Tyzen:"What about you? What were you talking about?"

Vek:"Some Huap stuff."

Tyzen:"What's that?"

Vek:"Something back at Vegresso."

Tyzen:"Oh.. Well, alright."

Duga:"Are we set now to depart?"

Vek:He nods "Yes."

Duga:"What is the goal while here?"

Tyzen:Tyzen presses the button to lower the ramp

"Alright, lets go!"

Vek:"Well, if we can tie up some loose ends, that's a bonus..but just trying to get a better idea of what's going on. I don't think this place'll be so obsessed with the dead Jaqua god." He heads for the ramp

Talz:Talz walks out next to Vek

"Let's go Goss!"

Olivar:"...Hey, Talz, come over here for a second."

he leads him to exactly where Vek and himself talked

Vedro:He gets up to go with them

Talz:Talz walks over and stops

"Yes, goss?"

(From Olivar): "Hey, I've recently came into some information...I think that you should stay here. I'm going to keep an eye on Duga, and he may be dangerous. I don't want you getting hurt."

Talz:"What?"

Olivar:He covers his mouth

Talz:"He's not dangerous."

Duga:He raises an eyebrow

Talz:Talz is able to say one last thing before his mouth is covered

Olivar:"Stay here."

Vek:He looks over

Olivar:"Trust me."

Talz:"But if he's dangerous won't you need help?"

Olivar:"Shut up."

"No, we're dealing with this Whoo-ha."

"Alone.

"

"Capishe?"

Talz:"But you said Duga."

Olivar:He swings

Attacks! (53)

Talz:*Goss!?"

Vedro:"Well, that happened."

Talz:Defends! (116)

Olivar:"TALZ, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"

Vek:"..."

Talz:He takes a few stops back and stops, looking at Olivar

"You.."

"You swung at me."

Vek:"What about Duga?"

Olivar:"I was telling him not to listen to what he's saying..."

Duga:"It seems there is another partnership in jeopardy, Olivar."

Talz:Talz looks back to Vek for a moment before looking back to Olivar

"That.."

"No. Goss."

Olivar:"No offense, Duga, but I don't think you'rea good influence."

Talz:"That was the last straw, first Kait and now you're turning your droid angers on me."

"I believe it is time I leave your service."

Duga:He chuckles "And you seem so much better."

Olivar:"....that's litterally the opposite-"

Talz:A tear comes to his eye as he bows and turns to walk out

Vedro:"... Well shit man..."

Olivar:He physically darkens

Vedro:"I don't even know what the fuck just happened."

Olivar:He turns to Duga

"Don't try and preach to me."

(To Duga): "Careful."

Duga:"Are you not going to attempt to bring him back? He is going to get away if you do not."

Olivar:He watches Talz go "God damnit!"

"Talz! How can you not comprehend the fact I'm doing this shit to protect you and me?!"

Talz:Talz is walking down the street

Vek:"Olivar, go get 'em."

Olivar:"...maybe...maybe he'd be safer...."

He sulks

Talz:Talz is slowly fading into the crowd

Vek:"You're running out of time to change your mind. You're going to regret this if you don't act now."

Olivar:He sighs, and rushes after Talz

Duga:He chuckles once Olivar is away

"Oh how ironic."

Vek:"Yea?"

Vedro:"Man, like... damn."

Tyzen:"What is ironic?"

Duga:"Do not worry about it."

Tyzen:".. Alright?"

Talz:Talz isn't looking to Olivar

Olivar:"Talz!"

"Slow down!"

Talz:"I'm sorry Goss, but this is it. I shall go my own path. Perhaps we will meet again but for now, I think it be best if we split."

"If only... Our name was oil, Goss."

"If only our name was oil."

Olivar:"Talz, I'm trying to protect you! Don't you understand?!"

Talz:"Just so you can harm me yourself?"

Olivar:"...Talz, I've literally only hurt you once."

"Actually no."

"I didn't even connect!"

Talz:"The thought is what counts."

Olivar:"The thought was frustration at the fact you didn't realize that THAT WAS SOMETHING TO WHISPER ABOUT!"

Talz:"It doesn't take away from what you tried to do."

Olivar:"To protect you?!"

"How do you not understand?!"

Talz:"You tried to hit me."

Olivar:"Alright, fine, I'm sorry, but god damnit Talz!"

Vek:He looks over at Tyzen, Vedro, Duga, and the others "So..what do you all think those two even are?"

Tyzen:"I thought they were.. You know."

Vedro:"I mean, I'm not too certain."

Tyzen:"I'm not trying to judge but.. Olivar doesn't really seem like.. normal."

Duga:"I am not quite sure."

"Does anyone of this crew seem normal?"

Vek:"Yea."

"Qotaro."

Duga:"I'll give you that."

Talz:Talz stops and looks to Olivar

"Perhaps one day, when you can understand the empathy of others, we will once again join forces."

Olivar:"...You know what? Fine."

Tyzen:"Qotaro is pretty normal."

Olivar:"Maybe it'd be better if you left, you're not going to be put in the line of gun fire anymore and chased by god damn...armies of droids and shit."

Talz:".. I don't know what that means."

Olivar:"...Good bye, Talz."

he sighs "Good...good luck."

He puts a hand on his shoulder "Stay safe, please."

Talz:Tears run down his face as Olivar says this

"I wish you luck as well, Goss. Perhaps our sparks will align once more."

Olivar:He embraces him "I don't...I don't even know what the fuck that means."

Talz:Talz gives Olivar a squeeze before saluting him

Olivar:He salutes "Don't go back to working for that gang, please. And don't get abused or used or anything."

Talz:With that, Talz turns and continues into the crowd

Olivar:He sheds a tear, wipes it, and then walks back

Tyzen:"So is the pink robot not coming back?"

Duga:"It would seem not."

Olivar:"...he's going to find his own path..."

Vek:"That seems to be a recurring theme around here."

Tyzen:"Perhaps that's what we can be called."

"The path."

Vek:"No, Tyzen."

"That's dumb."

Olivar:"...what the fuck are you talking about?"

Tyzen:"... Oh."

Olivar:"...Like, our crew?"

Vek:"That makes us sound like a cult."

Tyzen:"Yea, I was saying if we had a name, we could be the path, but.. I guess not."

Olivar:"Well, let's get on our way."

Vek:"Sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean." He nods "Now that....that is over, let's go."

Duga:"Where to?"

Tyzen:Tyzen's head is lowered as they talk

(To Duga): "When they turn, go left."

Vek:He shrugs, stepping out and looking around

(From Duga): As they head out, he takes the left, curious*

Kreial:Vek is able to see Kreial in the distance, across the crowd, staring at him before taking turning down the street from them

Vedro:He steps out, looking all around, "Man, this planet certainly looks great."

Vek:he blinks a bit

"That was fast."

"Hey, Duga."

"The Jedi was just over there."

Olivar:"...wait, the one that you fought here?"

Vek:"Yea."

Olivar:"Oh shit!"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks up

"What really?"

Vek:"Yea."

Duga:He's already gone

Vek:"n-"

he follows in pursuit

Tyzen:Tyzen follows Vek who is following Kreial

Olivar:He follows Vek

Vedro:He just follows

Kreial:Makes a Dexterity Check! (39)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (55)

Kreial:Vek and crew is able to keep up just enough to not lose sight of her

Makes a Dexterity Check! (85)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (56)

Olivar:"Okay, what the fuck are we going to do when we reach her?"

Makes a Dexterity Check! (71)

Vedro:Makes a Dexterity Check! (52)

Kreial:None of them are able to keep up as she is getting away

Vek Uses Force Agility!

Kreial:Makes a Dexterity Check! (29)

Vek:Uses the Force! (179)

Olivar:Makes a Dexterity Check! (48)

Vedro:Makes a Dexterity Check! (109)

Vek:He goes to tackle her to the ground as he speeds the hell up after her

Vedro:"Oh shit!"

Kreial:She looks back at the last second

Defends! (133)

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (135)

Kreial:Kreial is forced on the ground as Vek tackled her from behind, throwing her on her stomach

"Ach!"

Vek:He holds her down a bit, but lets off so as to not hurt her too much "Hey, long time no see, look, I got a few questions for you."

Kreial:"What do you want, sith!?"

Vek:"I'm not a fucking sith!"

"I want to know what a Jedi is."

Kreial:"You should know, you are our sworn enemy!"

Vek:"Trust me, I met a sith, I'm not like them."

Kreial:"You met one when you looked in the mirror."

the woman tries to wiggle out of his grasp

Vedro:"Lady, he's not a sith."

"Let me tell you."

"I've met a Sith."

"This man? Ain't a Sith."

Kreial:Makes a Strength Check! (28)

Vek:Makes a Strength Check! (143)

Kreial:She is only able to shift slightly, however her comfort levels aren't high

"You certainly are strong."

"For a sith."

Vek:"Thank you."

"F-"

Vedro:"Lady."

"Come on, I've already told you."

Vek:"Look, girl, I just want you to take me to your master."

Kreial:"My master doesn't accept sith."

"I seen your red blade."

Vedro:"Lady. Lady."

"I don't know what the hell colored blades have to do with this, but that's dumb."

Vek:"...I don't think I follow, but that has nothing to do with this."

Vedro:"This man ain't a sith."

Vek:"Why don't you just let your master decide if I'm a sith or not?"

Kreial:"I..."

She stops moving and sits her forehead against the concrete as Olivar finally catches up

"I can't."

Vek:"...What?"

"Why not?"

Kreial:"I was kicked out of the temple."

Vek:"..For being a sith?"

Kreial:"No, for wanting to fight them!"

Vedro:"Maybe that's why you can't tell what a Sith is."

"I'm not even a goddamn force user, and I can tell Sith apart better than you."

Vek:"Okay, fine, where's the temple at?"

Kreial:"Purifiloaz."

Olivar:"..excuse me?"

Vek:"So that's......nooorth?"

Kreial:"South."

Olivar:"...give us exact directions from here."

Vek:"About...how far south?"

Kreial:"I can't."

Vek:"You know what, how about you just take us there."

Olivar:"Well, why the fuck not?"

Kreial:"Because the shields only open for those the council deems worthy."

"Until deemed worthy, it is invisible."

Vek:"That doesn't make any sense."

Kreial:"And I have been deemed unworthy."

Vedro:"That can't be too hard."

Olivar:"...I mean, that still doesn't mean we can't get directions."

Vedro:"How'd you get there in the first place?"

Olivar:"Wh- yeah!"

Kreial:"They found me."

Olivar:"..."

Vedro:"You were worthy at some point, and you sure don't seem that worthy."

Kreial:"I had different beliefs, they don't like people to question them."

"So they kicked me out."

Vek:He sighs and lets her go

Kreial:She looks back to him, confused

"You're.. Letting me go?"

Vek:"Yea."

Kreial:"Why?"

Vek:"I believe you."

Kreial:"But you're.. You're evil?"

Vek:"I. Am. Not. A. Sith."

Kreial:"But.. Your lightsaber."

"It's red."

Vedro:"The lightsaber doesn't mean a goddamn thing."

"It's a fucking plasma sword."

Vek:"Some guy on Socorro made it for some guy, and they both got killed. I just took it in the aftermath."

Kreial:"It's a symbol, rodian."

Vedro:"What the hell kind of symbol is a lightsaber?"

Olivar:"Hey, hold up, why did you say rodian like that?"

Kreial:"You wouldn't understand, green scale."

Vek:"I got this one that I made a long time ago, too, but it's not as good as the red one." *he shakes around his other lightsabe- can you stop being racist to my doctor?"

Olivar:"Wha- I'm fucking human, you horned evil fuck!"

Vedro:"Alright, hold on no -- Yea, thanks."

Vek:"Olivar!"

Olivar:"Sorry, sorry."

"Not to you, but to everyone else."

He looks Kreail

Kreial:She looks back to Vek and thinks

"Wait.."

"You made it?"

Vek:"More or less."

Kreial:"That's.. But you've never been to the temple?"

Vek:"If I had been, I wouldn't be asking you for directions."

Kreial:"You must be very attuned. Only those who the force sees as great guardians are able to create their own lightsaber."

She says as she goes to grab it

Vek:He doesn't stop her

Tyzen:As she does, Tyzen lights his lightsaber and points it at her

Vek:"Tyzen, relax."

Olivar:"...hey, I have a question. What does a green one mean?"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Vek and stops for a moment before looking back to the girl who is now looking at the lightsaber

Kreial:She rolls it around in her hands a couple of times before looking back to Vek, offering it back

"Is this the first one you made?"

Vek:He puts it back in his robes and nods

Olivar:"..."

Kreial:"It has rough edges but.. Still I'm impressed, did your master give you the K'nuth crystal?"

Vek:"Pardon me?"

Kreial:"The K'nuth crystal. The power of the saber."

Vek:"....No. I don't have a master."

Olivar:"...are you supposed to have a master when you wield one of these things?" He pulls out his

Kreial:She finally looks back to Olivar

"Yes, they are the ones who teach you not only how to use them but when to use them."

"A lightsaber is not a weapon, it is a defense."

Olivar:"...what?"

"To what?"

Vek:"..If you say so."

"You clearly know more about all of this than us."

Kreial:She looks back to Vek as she starts to get back to her feet

"I wish I could tell you more, however I was not able to complete my training."

Vedro:"No, it's clearly a weapon."

"I mean... it's a plasma sword. In other words, a weapon."

Olivar:"...so, what does a green one mean?"

Kreial:She looks to Vedro with anger filling her eyes as she says

"Weapons are for harm."

Vedro:"Yea, those things do real harm, too."

Vek:He steps between her and Vedro "Okay, maybe you too shouldn't talk."

two *

Vedro:"I'm not even saying anything too bad, man."

Kreial:"They are meant only for defending one self and others."

Vedro:"Weapons are made for defense too, though, I mean..."

He sighs, "Whatever."

Kreial:She looks back to Vek and says

"Did you teach yourself to use it?"

Vek:"Yea."

Tyzen:"We both did."

Olivar:"Hey, lady!"

"I've had it up to here with your shit!"

"I got a blue one and a green one!"

"What the fuck do those mean?!"

Kreial:"Then you must be very powerful warriors or your strength with the force is higher than even I am capable of."

Vek:"Or both."

Kreial:"It could possible mean both, yes."

Olivar:He's getting ready to pick a fight

"I'll ask one more god damn time."

"What the fuck do those two colors mean?"

Vek:"...Please, just answer his question."

Kreial:She looks to Olivar for a second before looking back to Vek

"If your crystal produces a green blade, it means that you are very powerful in the force, you are able to use the force unlike any other, a blue blade indicates that you are a warrior well and true, fighting the sith at their core at the battle field."

"The force sees what type of character you are."

Vek:He's not buying it

"How does that make any sense?"

Kreial:"How do the voices in the back of your mind make sense?"

"It's the force."

Vek:"..."

"..Pardon me?"

Kreial:"If you were able to create a green bladed lightsaber at such a young age, you must be strongly connected to the force, I only just made mine when I was cast out of the temple."

"You must hear the voices."

Vek:"The fuck does purple mean, then?"

Kreial:"I.. Do not know."

"I only know the meaning of the three core colors."

Vek:"..okay, whatever."

"...You wanna give me my 200 creds back?"

Kreial:"I spent them."

Vek:"...Okay, so, you're 200 creds indebted to me."

Kreial:She has no response

Vek:"..."

"I'm just fuckin' with ya."

Kreial:Her expression hasn't changed

Vek:"...You still there?"

Kreial:"Yes, I just do not have anything to say>"

Vek:"..Okay, so, uh, the voices. What about them?"

Kreial:"Listen to them, they will guide you in the right direction."

"To whatever you want most."

Olivar:"...."

He looks to Vek

"Yeah, I call bullshit."

Kreial:She looks to Olivar with nothing but hate

Vek:"Look, sorry I tackled you, but you cut me up with your lightsaber and stole my money so, I'd say we're even..anyway, you can..carry on. I think we got what we needed."

Kreial:Kreial nods and says

"Thank you, but be careful."

"Any who call themselves sith, they will destroy everything around them before destroying themselves."

Olivar:He looks to Vek once again

Vek:"...Yea, thanks. We'll keep that in mind."

Kreial:With that, she looks to Tyzen before turning around and walking back into the crowd

Vek:He looks to Tyzen "I think she likes you."

Tyzen:"I think so too."

Tyzen says with a wide smile

Olivar:"I don't like her."

Tyzen:"I don't like you."

Olivar:"Wh- what the fuck?"

Vek:He laughs a bit

Vedro:"What just happened?"

Olivar:"What's your problem?"

Vedro:"I hardly followed any of that, I just kind of drifted away."

Tyzen:"You spoke your mind, I was just speaking mine."

Vedro:"We're speaking our minds now?"

Olivar:"...I get that, I'm asking why don't you like me."

Vedro:"Alright, my mind is I want something to drink."

Tyzen:"I get a bad vibe from you."

"And you smell funny."

Olivar:"...You get a bad vibe from me-"

Vedro:"Really?"

"I don't smell anything."

Olivar:"...wow, you really are shallow little bastard."

Vedro:"I mean, he's a little kid."

"Little kids are shallow."

Olivar:"...yeah, I guess so."

"Didn't really think about it like that."

Vedro:"He'll mature before too long, don't worry about it."

Tyzen:Tyzen smile and looks to the crowd

Vek:"You wanna go talk to her?"

Tyzen:"No, maybe if we see her again."

Vek:He nods "Alright, then..back to.."

"What were we doing?"

"Wait, where'd Duga go?"

Vedro:"Getting some drink--" He looks around, "No idea."

Tyzen:"He went the other way back at the ship."

"We ran towards the right, he went left."

"Don't know where he is now."

Vek:He looks to Olivar

Olivar:"....ah shit."

"Let's go."

Vek:He nods, going to look for Duga

Vedro:He heads off with them

Narrator:Time goes back to when the group first noticed Duga missing as he breaks away from the group

(To Duga): "Good, not continue down this street"

(To Duga): now*

(From Duga): He continues down the street. "For what purpose do you tell me these things?"

(To Duga): "You wish for things that you have never had, we shall bestow them upon you."

(To Duga): As he continues down the street, Duga sees Talz talking to a person with a for sale sign hanging from their neck

(To Duga): "After the cyborg finishes, talk to the man."

(From Duga): Curious, he waits for Talz to walk off, eyeing him warily

(To Duga): It takes Talz a good few moments before he walks off, head hung low, obviously not happy

(From Duga): He approaches the man.

(To Duga): The man looks to Duga and points to the sign, now able to see the first portion, he is able to see that it says "Shit for sale"

(From Duga): "What kind of items?"

(To Duga): *Who are you?"

(To Duga): "Tell him your race."

(From Duga): "I am a Zabrak."

(To Duga): The man's eyes begin to dim as a white tint over takes them, not for long but long enough for Duga to notice before he says "Everything."

(From Duga): "Does everything include knowledge? Power?"

(To Duga): Dega receives no response

(From Duga): "Then give me the name of the one that did this to you."

(To Duga): "Wepol."

(From Duga): "And their location?"

(To Duga): "Their ship."

(To Duga): "Offer to buy his things."

(From Duga): He nods "Alright. I shall buy your things."

(To Duga): "Four hundred thousand creds and it's all yours."

(From Duga): "A mighty price....But I shall pay."

(To Duga): The man holds out a bag and awaits for the creds

(From Duga): He hands over the necessary funds

(To Duga): As the bag fills the white tint returns, once again only for a second as he looks to the bag and back to Duga with a puzzled look "What's this?"

(To Duga): "Go along."

(From Duga): "It is payment. For everything."

(To Duga): The man nods for a second confused and then smiles "Alright, come right this way."

(From Duga): he follows along

(To Duga): He then begins to lead Duga to a port close to the one Vek and the others parked at

(To Duga): After taking him past several ships, the man looks back to Duga and says "There it is."

(To Duga): "Everything I have. All on her."

(From Duga): He looks over the ship

(To Duga): Duga is able to see the ship is in damn near mint condition, just washed, new metallic paint, and not a single scratch to be found

(From Duga): He is in slight awe "The price seems well worth it."

(To Duga): "I think you will be happy with it, my zabrakian friend. Here, let me show you the inside."

(From Duga): He nods

(To Duga): The man takes Duga aboard his new ship and reveals that inside is a room with lasers, the man stops and lets Duga continue in front of him

(From Duga): He approaches the cell to investigate

(To Duga): As Duga does he closes the ramp behind him and stands at attention

(To Duga): "Are you the jedi?" A voice calls out from the room

(From Duga): "Jedi? Where might you have gotten that idea?"

(To Duga): "My friend was suppose to bring me the zabrak jedi. You're a zabrak but.. I heard the jedi was a female."

(To Duga): "Perhaps it is just my ignorance of your race, if so please, forgive me."

(To Duga): "But I am looking for the zabrak jedi on the planet."

(From Duga): "You'll then have to inform me what a jedi is."

(To Duga): "So you are not.. Hornace, you may release me."

(To Duga): The human enters a three digit code on the wall next to the cell and as the lasers release the source of the voice is revealed

(To Duga): A woman steps out of the now lowered cell with a odd looking stick in her hand

(From Duga): "I take it that you are Wepol?"

(To Duga): "Yes." The girl says nodding as she passes Duga and leans against a wall before waving her hand at the man "You too are released."

(To Duga): If he looked, Duga was able to see the tint of white one last time before the man dropped the ground and begun to have a seizure

(To Duga): "Well darn.. I guess I kept him too long."

(To Duga): She looks at the now dying man before back to Duga "If you want, you can have your money back."

(To Duga): "The trap wasn't for that."

(From Duga): He scoops his money from the man's person "Then perhaps you could let me in on what it is here for, exactly."

(To Duga): "As I said, I'm looking for a zabrakian jedi."

(To Duga): "However if she suspects me to be sith, I doubt she will be reasonable."

(From Duga): "Most are incredibly tender around the word Sith."

(To Duga): "And the jedi even more so. They are sworn enemies of ours.. Well, that's what the elders say."

(From Duga): "So that makes you a jedi?"

(To Duga): "Oh no, I am, well, was a sith."

(To Duga): "Recently broke out of their hold and have since been searching for any bit of power I can find."

(From Duga): "You sound very much like a Sith even still, I'd say."

(To Duga): "The elders would disagree."

(To Duga): "They gave me a trial, if I passed, I was to live in exile."

(To Duga): "If I failed, I died."

(To Duga): "I think you know which happened."

(From Duga): "Obviously your masters underestimated you."

(To Duga): "Something a lot of people do."

(From Duga): "You should use it to your advantage."

(To Duga): "I do, as much as I can."

(To Duga): "Which is pretty often, so it comes in handy. Either my gender, size, or age usually makes people look down on me. I would say it's annoying but.. Honestly, it's not."

(From Duga): He chuckles "Truly a devious one, aren't you? Now, why do you seek this jedi?"

(To Duga): "Why do you ask?"

(From Duga): "Because I am curious. To many things."

(To Duga): "Then you have your answer. I believe in ways that most of my.. former group don't."

(To Duga): "I believe that power comes from knowledge."

(To Duga): "I am curious about her opinions and views on the force and everything it's connected to."

(From Duga): "You are the first to have shared a similar mind that I have met. Knowledge of the old and new ways will lead to greater power."

(To Duga): "I'm sure we share a similar surprise as I too have found it troublesome to find people who hold my views. If only you were one in a thousand."

(From Duga): "Alas, it is not so." He looks around the ship. "Where did you acquire such a vessel?"

(To Duga): "Stole it."

(To Duga): "Again, people don't expect someone of my appearance to be such a hassle."

(From Duga): He nods "I can imagine it has caused quite the headache for a few."

(To Duga): "I'd like to think so."

(From Duga): "I came in search for what the Force willed of me, but I am surprised to have made such a discovery."

(To Duga): "The force? As in what?"

(From Duga): "I was guided to your man by the Force. I can safely say that it works in mysterious ways."

(To Duga): "You mean you can hear it?"

(From Duga): He looks back to her "Can you hear the Force speak?"

(To Duga): "Yes, I just.. I didn't believe you the one in a thousand."

(To Duga): you were the*

(From Duga): "You say one in a thousand can hear the Force's will? That sounds a tad high."

(To Duga): "No, one in a thousand have the possibility to use the force, rather or not they discover that trait is up to the force itself. Those deemed, for lack of a better word, worthy to hear the force's call, are extremely rare or very powerful. I myself can only hear the first stage, distant single worded sentences."

(To Duga): "So.. If you're a forceful such as I, why haven't you too just stolen a ship? Why pay four hundred thousand?"

(From Duga): "Because I simply followed what the Force said. I was not worried about the money. I was looking for a ship, but that was not the primary goal."

(To Duga): "Well, originally I was going to have you take Horcel's place, but now that I discover we're on the same path with similar interest, I welcome you aboard. If you want, you may join me in my endeavors to learn as much as I can."

(To Duga): "Buy her."

(From Duga): "I have my own adventures; however, I am willing to offer to buy your services."

(To Duga): "Buy them? That's.. I offer you a free place and yet you decide to pay to join me?"

(To Duga): "You won't see me argue."

(To Duga): "What services are you looking for?"

(To Duga): "A ride? Protection?"

(From Duga): "I am following a plot that may lead me to great danger. I am wanting an emergency get away. From there, the terms might change. Almost certainly even more in your favor."

(To Duga): "As in I just come when you call?"

(From Duga): "That is the gist of it."

(To Duga): "Four hundred thousand."

(To Duga): "Per month."

(To Duga): "No.."

(To Duga): "I would feel bad if I agreed to that."

(To Duga): "Four hundred thousand for every five months."

(From Duga): he chuckles "For that price, I am paying for express service." He holds out the bag from earlier "Leave me to die, and I will haunt you long after I am dead."

(To Duga): "Only those very strong in the force can come back, and seeing as how I didn't sense you when you came aboard, I'll say I'm save from a ghost. However, you can rest assured that as long as you meet our agreement, I will too."

(From Duga): "I look forward to working with you in the future."

(To Duga): Taking the money, she holds it down as a R9 droid rides by and takes it "Well, until you stop paying you have me, the ship, my two droids, and my speeder at your call."

(To Duga): "Do you have a communicator?"

(From Duga): "I do not. That will pose a problem..."

(To Duga): "R9." The girl says as it stops and turns around, popping an arm out of it's little body and raises it to Wepol "Here. It my old one but I'm sure I can get a new one. It's already linked to the ship's signal."

(To Duga): She grabs the thing in the droid's arm and offers it to Duga

(From Duga): He takes it "Feel free to contact me if anything of interest happens along your journey. I am quite curious as to how it will go."

(To Duga): "Same. Also, the com has a tracker in it, so I will know where you are at all times.. Well, where it is."

(To Duga): "I assume you will carry it at all times."

(From Duga): "That is the plan." He folds it into his robes for the time being. "Until the next time, may the force be with you." He starts off the ship

(To Duga): Wepol nods with a smirk as Duga exits the ship

Unknown:Time once again spins back as it is right after the group leaves the ship

Qotaro finds himself having just recently landed the ship as Chip stands next to him and Bait stays in the co-pilot seat

Qotaro:"Hmm... gatcha ba..." He leans back and stretches

Unknown:As he does, Qotaro hears a female voice call out from the ramp of the ship

"Hello?!"

Qotaro:"WAH!"

He jumped out of his seat and looked back, confused, "Gatcha ba? No gabba?"

He looks to Chip and nods, "Let's go!" He then approached the ramp

Marko:As he approached the ramp, he sees Marko sitting cross legged in the new bedroom with his spear in his lap

Qotaro:He looks at him, and says, "Watcha!" Before continuing on

Jalj:As he looks out of the still open ramp, Qotaro may be surprised to find a female in stormtrooper armor with the exception of a helmet

Qotaro:"Gabba cha?"

Jalj:The woman looks from the crowd behind her back to the jawa and freezes

Chip:Chip stands next to Qotaro

Qotaro:"Watcha ba?"

Jalj:"You.."

"No.."

Qotaro:"No?"

Jalj:"Is this the Ural?"

Qotaro:"No? Watcha ba?"

Jalj:".. You listen here you little black faced droid fucker, you're going to tell me right now rather or not this is the piece of floating shit that goes by the name Ural!?"

Chip:Chip takes aim

Qotaro:"WAH?!"

"GAAAH!"

"BETCH! LISTEN HERE!"

"RUN, NOW!"

"BETCH! LITTLE BETCH!"

"YOU GOT PROBLEM? YOU BETCH!"

Qotaro:"YOU GOT PROBLEM? SOLVE!"

"OR GET OUTTA HERE, BETCH!"

Chip:Chip is just awaiting the order

Jalj:Jalj stops and stares at the yellow eyes of the Jawa

"You.."

Qotaro:He points at her, "Little betch!"

Jalj:Her jaw can't help but become agap as she just got served by a fucking jawa

Qotaro:He goes to close the ramp, and after pressing it, he goes to give her the 'Suck It' gesture

Jalj:"..."

A spark lights in her eye as the ramp slowly closes in front of her

Chip:Chip lowers his gun and looks to Qotaro, nodding

Qotaro:He nods and gives Chip a thumbs up, "Goteem."

Chip:"What now?"

Qotaro:"Aaah! Gatcha!"

"Watch, and learn."

He spreads his legs, and goes to do the 'Suck It' gesture, trying to teach Chip

Chip:Chip does his best to mimic the Jawa however has a little bit of trouble

Qotaro:He gives a thumbs up, "Yea, yea!"

"Hmm... a bit stuff..." He inspects Chip's frame, "New frame... get soon."

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:"Roger!"

He then goes to perform some maintenance on Chip, B8, and R3

Unknown:As he starts he hears another knock from the ramp

Qotaro:"..." He sighs, and looks over, "Gatcha ba?"

Unknown:A muffled voice says

"Yes, I heard that this ship is being stolen by a gang, I came to make sure that wasn't happening."

Qotaro:"Wah? Watcha ba?"

Unknown:"If you can lower your ramp for me to make sure everything is okay, I won't go and get a stromtrooper."

Qotaro:"Gaaah..."

He looks over, "Chip, watch."

He then steps over, as he peeks into Marko's room, "Marko!"

"Distraction, come."

Chip:Chip turns towards the ramp and keeps watch

Marko:Marko opens his eyes from his meditation and looks to Qotaro before standing up and walking over

"Distraction?"

Qotaro:"Yea, yea. Come talk, on ramp."

Marko:"Alright."

Qotaro:"Tell them Ship isn't being taken."

He steps away, letting Marko head on his way there, as he went to go sneak out through the garbage disposal

Marko:Qotaro is able to open the garbage shoot as Marko lowers the ramp

"Well, I can tell you wi-uhah!"

He is cut off as Qotaro slides out the ship and onto the ground under

Qotaro:As he hits the ground, he looks up and takes a look around

Chip:Blaster fire is heard coming from the ship with a single bolt flying out before a sudden stop

Qotaro:"... Oh..." He says, quietly, to himself

Human:As Qotaro looks around he is able to see three humans on the side of the ship he is on

The appear to be standing guard

Qotaro:He shakes his head, and goes to sneak over towards the ramp, to get a look

Makes a Thievery Check! (98)

Human:Perceives! (72)

Qotaro is able to peak around the ramp without being seen, as he does he sees Marko laying on the ground and Chip's arm just next to him, however the rest of the droid seems to be missing

Qotaro:"... W-..."

His vision starts turning red, as he's about to scream, as he goes to see who is there

Human:Qotaro is able to see three more humans in the ship with one large one in the center of them. The large man says with a kek

"That was easier done than said."

Qotaro:His vision goes red, as he raises his blaster, and goes to fire rapidly into them

He scrambles out from under the ship, jumping around in place, mad

Does (32) Damage!

Human:The four people turn around as Qotaro blasts one of them twice, sending them flying back into the droid charging room

R3-I7:Qotaro is able to see lights start sparking from the room as she flies into it

Qotaro:"GAAAAHHH!"

Human:The others look to the screaming Jawa in confusion as the leader calls out

"What the fuck is that!?"

Qotaro:He points at him, and does a cut throat gesture

Human:"Oh, no, that's it!"

"Kill that little shit!"

Qotaro:"Try, betch!"

Human:The other two humans raise their guns and fire at Qotaro

Attacks! (71)

Attacks! (93)

Qotaro:He goes to jump to the sidE

Defends! (91)

Defends! (123)

Human:They can't help to hit the jawa as his eyes glow red with anger, all they can do is watch as he jumps so fast it's as if he is using godly powers

Qotaro:He jumps to the side, and mid-jump, just lets out another flurry of blasts at them

"NO!"

The solider yells at him before firing

Qotaro:"NO!"

Defends! (148)

He jumps over the blaster bolt and goes to shoot back at him

Shoots! (50)

Human:Defends! (68)

The human is able to dodge by turning as he fires at the jawa mid turn

Qotaro:He turns his body

He then goes to shoot him, mid-turn, like he had tried to shoot him like

"NO!"

"You're mocking me!"

Qotaro:"Yea, betch!"

Does (27) Damage!

Human:He gets shot in the gut forcing him to a knee but he's still standing

"Ain't happening this time!"

"Not me!"

"Nu uh!"

He raises his gun at Qotaro and fires one last time

Qotaro:"GAAAAHHH!"

Human:Attacks! (46)

Qotaro:Defends! (138)

He ducks under, and goes to do a snap-shot up at his chin

Shoots! (88)

Human:Defends! (50)

It was indeed this time and it was him as the little brown bean ducks under the man's blasts and slides just in front of him where he holds the blaster up to his chin and fires, killing the man instantly

"..."

Qotaro:His head turns to the other guy then

Human:The big bad leader stands there in almost shock

"What are you?!"

Qotaro:"Jawa, beetch!"

He puts his blaster up to his crotch, and rapidly pulls the trigger

Human:The man's junk is now junk as he falls to his knees and stares at Qotaro with tears falling down his eyes

He tries to say something but can't as he face planets on the floor of the ship

Qotaro:He raises his blaster, and puts another bolt in the back of his head, before turning, raising his bolter again, and going to walk into the other room

Human:Qotaro walks in and finds a man breathing heavily at a fast rate as he holds the area he was shot

Qotaro:He looks at him, before quickly stepping back and checking on the droid room to see how that person was

R3-I7:Qotaro enters the droid room and finds R3 standing above the man he shot just a moment ago, as he enters, R3 lets out a arm and ignites a lighter, giving him a droid thumbs up

Qotaro:He gives R3 a thumbs up right back

R3-I7:He can see the human has been electrocuted by R3, killing him

Qotaro:He nods, "Alright..." He then goes back tot he other person, as he looked down at him, "Who sent you?"

Human:"No one man! We just wanted a ship!"

The man cries out frantically

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "Not good enough."

He goes to tie him up, and bring him to Duga's room to string him up

Human:He is unable to do anything, locked up rather by pain or fear, it is unknown, however Qotaro sure isn't bothered by it

Qotaro:He then goes to drag Marko over to B8, as he says, "B8! Medicine!"

B8-G6:Bait stands from the co-pilot seat and begins checking on Marko

"Yes, master Qotaro!"

Qotaro:He nods, as he then goes to check on Chip

Chip:With his command reinserted on the ship, Qotaro is able to look for the droid that is now missing an arm. Without worry of getting blasted, Qotaro finds Chip laying on the ground just behind a wall next to the cockpit

Qotaro:His eyes narrow, as he growls, mad that they messed with his droid. He quickly went to work on Chip and get him back to working condition

Human:"Hual?"

A voice calls out from the ramp

"Oh.. my god!"

Qotaro:He looks back over, ready to pull his blaster out

Human:As he does he sees several more men standing at the ramp of the ship, one standing about the big guy's body looking down at it, another holding the girl, now cuffed and gagged, in the back of the group

the girl he met just earlier

Qotaro:"Who are you?" He says, standing up, ready for another round if need be

Human:The group of people look to Qotaro in utter shock as they find themselves unable to speak

Qotaro:"Well?"

"Gonna talk?! Or GET?!"

"HUH?"

"PROBLEM?!"

Human:The person holding the girl from earlier begins laughing as the one standing above the big guy's body begins crying

"Our boss!.. Was beat by a fucking nasty ass black hooded midget!?"

Qotaro:He goes to shoot him

Shoots! (58)

Human:Defends! (24)

Qotaro:Does (37) Damage!

"GET!"

Human:The man is shot and thrown to the ground

"Ah!"

As he does, he drops a type of ball that begins rolling ever so slightly. With their next in charge now laying on the ground with a hole in his chest, the group look between each other before looking back to Qotaro and screaming before they bring out their blasters

Qotaro:"COME ON THEN!"

He stands there, ready

Human:Three of them bring out their blasters and fire as the other two stand by

Attacks! (85)

Attacks! (57)

Attacks! (22)

Qotaro:Defends! (142)

Defends! (87)

Defends! (148)

He dodges all of them, and goes to fire back at one of them

Shoots! (73)

Human:"AH!"

Defends! (96)

The man isn't shot as he returns fire

Attacks! (79)

Qotaro:Defends! (134)

He rolls forward, "BETCH!" He then lifts his blaster and fires again

Shoots! (47)

Human:Defends! (26)

Qotaro:Does (32) Damage!

Human:"AH!"

The man calls out as another raises his blaster prepared to fire when suddenly

Marko:He is hit in the face

"NO!"

Attacks! (83)

Qotaro:"MARKO?!"

Human:Defends! (52)

"Wh-!"

He is hit in the face by the Mon Calamar's fist and sent stumbling back a little

Marko:Does (21) Damage!

Qotaro:"HAH! BETCH!"

Marko:He stands there with his fists up as the third man fires at him&

Human:Shoots! (34)

Marko:Defends! (36)

Marko jumps back

Qotaro:"COME ON!"

He goes to roll over closer, and fire a blast at the man who fired at Marko

Shoots! (78)

Human:Defends! (60)

"Oh shi-!"

Qotaro:Does (25) Damage!

Human:He falls to the ground and begins screaming in pain as he holds the ever burning hold in his side

Marko:Marko looks to the man he punched and goes to spin kick him

Attacks! (45)

Human:Defends! (78)

However the man isn't having it as he brings his gun back up to fire point blank

Shoots! (58)

Marko:Defends! (75)

But Marko is able to duck under the gun

Qotaro:In response, he fires at the guy who shot at Marko, again

Shoots! (107)

Human:Defends! (102)

The man tries to dodge the shot that comes from the corner of his eye however isn't able to as it goes straight through his chest as he drops to the ground

Qotaro:Does (24) Damage!

"BETCH!"

Marko:Marko looks back to Qotaro and gives him a wink before getting hit in the face and stumbling back as last two people stand ready

Human:"You think you're so tough just because you can take out our entire crew?"

Qotaro:"W-- NO!"

Human:"You ain't shit!"

Qotaro:"Come on then!"

"Problem? Solve, betch!"

"Little betch!"

"LITTLE FUCKING BETCH!"

Human:"Alright then!"

he goes to bring his rifle up but suddenly from behind Qotaro the arm of a B1 battle droid is thrown and pierces through his head

Chip:Chip stands just behind Qotaro

"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:"HELL YEA!"

He laughs, points at the gangsters, and then gives them the Suck It

Marko:Marko looks back to Qotaro and Chip

Chip:As he does, he sees Chip give the last gangster a one armed SUCK IT

Human:"What the fuck are you?!"

Qotaro:He points at the last gangster, "Your crew?"

"TRASH!"

Human:He throws the girl at them on the ship but is too far for her to actually reach them and turns around, running as fast as he can

"NO! HELP ME!"

"MONSTERS!"

Qotaro:"RUN, BETCH!"

"RUN!"

"LITTLE BETCH! TRASH!"

Marko:Marko leans against the wall in the ship and looks to Qotaro with a smile

Qotaro:He looks to Marko and Chip, and smiles under his hood, giving a thumbs up, "Alright!"

Chip:Chip nods as he runs

"Run, beetch."

Qotaro:"ROGER!"

Chip:"Roger! Roger!"

Qotaro:He laughs, as he goes to look at the ball that rolled over earlier,

Jalj:The woman looks up from the ground as she fell after being thrown in the ship and tries to say something but it's not too understandable

Qotaro:"Shut it, betch." He says, going to check out the object

Jalj:Qotaro is able to see the ball is a datapack of some type

Qotaro:"Oooh..." He picks it up, so he can check it out later, before he starts gathering the bodies to get ready to dispose of

Marko:Marko helps Qotaro pick up the bodies

Qotaro:He nods, "Thank you." He then went to drag Jalj onto the ship, too, to deal with her

Jalj:She looks to Qotaro with that spark still in her eye, whatever it means

She hasn't said anything since he said

Qotaro:He blinks, looking into her eye, "Huh?"

Jalj:Charms! (40)

Qotaro:Perceives! (77)

Jalj:Qotaro is able to see that Jalj, once a person that hated him, is now in a state of ecstasy just by his presence

Qotaro:"... Oh. Gabba."

Jalj:She continues to stare at Qotaro, not making a sound

Qotaro:He blinks, and goes to untie her

Jalj:Qotaro finds that she gives him no trouble as she continues to make as little sound as possible, staying on the ground, eye level to Qotaro

Qotaro:"... Gabba ga. Cool."

He nods, as he then goes to close the ship's hatch, before heading into Duga's room to check on his prisoner

Jalj:She stays in place as he does his thing

Human:As he enters Duga's room he sees the man swinging in place

"Oh..."

Qotaro:"Oh. Oh?"

"Betch." He shakes his head, "No oh. Not yet."

Human:"Oh...'

"No.."

Qotaro:He then pulls out his wrench, smacking it in the palm of his hand a bit

Human:"Time?"

Qotaro:"Time's up."

He closes the door behind him, and approaches, ready to get to work

the scene travels back to the original group as they search for Duga

Tyzen:Tyzen looks over to Vek and asks

"Why are we looking for Duga?"

Olivar:"..." He thinks for a moment, not exactly sure if looking for him is the best decision

Tyzen:As they're looking for Duga, they find themselves in front of a weapons shop and across from that a nude bar

Vek:He pulls at his collar "Funny combination.."

Tyzen:"What is?"

Vek:"Uh..nothing."

"You know, I think Duga can handle himself."

Tyzen:"Alright."

Tyzen says softly before glancing at the gun shop and then to a pawn shop just a few building down

"So what else did you want to do here, Vek?"

Vek:"I mean, that was more or less it..was hoping someone could actually show us a thing or two about the force."

Olivar:He looks at the gun shop for a second "...I'm going to go get some more grenades."

Vek:"Hey, take Tyzen with you."

"He looks like he wants to see what they've got."

Olivar:"...where are you going to be heading?"

Vek:"Not there."

Tyzen:He looks to Vek and back to the gun shop before looking over to Olivar and back to Vek

Vek:"The only gun I want to be around is Qotaro's."

Olivar:"...No offense, but I don't want to take the kid."

Tyzen:"I didn't want to go with him."

Vek:"This is exactly why you need to go together."

Tyzen:Tyzen says under his breath

Olivar:"No."

Tyzen:"No."

Vek:"You two gotta get over whatever your problem is with each other."

"Yes."

Olivar:"I don't have a problem with this kid besides he doesn't like me!"

Tyzen:"I'll just.. Go over there."

Tyzen says pointing at the nude bar

Vek:"Uh, no."

"Nu uh."

Olivar:"I would be completely neutral on him besides that."

• if not for that

Vek:"Look, you don't have to babysit him, just take him with you."

Tyzen:"..."

Tyzen looks to Olivar

"Alright..."

He looks to Vek

"I'll just catch up with you at the ship."

Olivar:He shrugs

Tyzen:With that he heads into the weapons building

Olivar:He heads in

Vek:He lets out a sigh of relief, as he watches them go, and turns to go to the nude bar

Tyzen:As Olivar enters he sees Tyzen looking at several guns that are hung on the walls and finds a human sitting at the counter

Olivar:He walks up to the guy at the counter "Do you carry any grenades? Both frag and stun?"

Human:"Yep."

The woman says with half open eyes in a nonchalant fashion

Olivar:"I'll take a stun and a frag, please."

Vedro:He walks into the gunshop, too, just browsing the selection

Human:"Fifteen fifty."

Olivar:He slides over the creds

Human:She slides them into a draw just behind the counter and places two grenades on the counter

"Anything I can do for you?"

She asks, obviously not caring, in between chews

Olivar:He shakes his head "No thank you."

Human:She shakes her head and rolls her eyes before going back to reading on the datapad she was reading before he stopped her

Olivar:He begins browsing the selection of weapons as well

Tyzen:Olivar as he looks, Olivar is no longer able to see Tyzen as Vedro watched him exit the shop while he was talking to the bitch who runs the place

Olivar:He sighs, and walks out, taking a look around for Tyzen

Tyzen:Olivar is unable to find the zabrakian child amidst the ever moving crowd of people

Vedro:"... Huh..." He said, trying to spot him

(To Vedro): He was able to see Tyzen moving through the crowd away from the shop

Vedro:"Hold on there!" He said, jogging to catch up

Olivar:He follows

Tyzen:Vedro catches up to Tyzen as he's going through the crowd of people and looks back when he hears Vedro call out, stopping

"Huh?"

Vedro:"Where're you going? You can't just run off like that."

Tyzen:"But.. I can."

Olivar:"He doesn't mean physically."

Vedro:"Alright, you know what I mean."

"You shouldn't."

Tyzen:"Why not?"

Olivar:"..."

Vedro:"Y-..."

"You're a kid."

Tyzen:"Who was fine on his own up until Vek offered me a ride."

Vedro:"Yea? How long do you think you'll be fine on your own?"

Olivar:"We could have left you behind, too."

Tyzen:"Until I get back to the ship."

Vedro:"You know how much someone could sell a kid like you for on the slave market?"

"All it takes is one moment, and you could be in chains. You little shit."

Olivar:"I mean....yeah, he's not wrong."

Tyzen:"And if they try anything, I'll cut them with my lightsaber."

Vedro:"You can't just cut ever-- alright, you know."

Olivar:"You realize that you only have so much steam, right?"

Vedro:"I wager there's several people who could kick your ass in this city."

Tyzen:"I wager you won't be much help."

Vedro:"You're a strong kid, yea, but you're still just a kid."

"Oh?"

"You think I can't help?"

"I could kick your little scrawny ass."

Olivar:"...what the fuck's your problem, kid?"

"All anyone here has done is look out for you, and you're being an asshole."

Vedro:"Listen, kid, I'm just trying to look out for you."

"You don't know what you're getting into."

Tyzen:Tyzen ignores Olivar

"And I'm just trying to go look at the droids."

Vedro:"That's fine, but you could have, at the very least, said something."

"If I hadn't been paying attention, I wouldn't have known you'd left."

Olivar:"Same."

Tyzen:Tyzen nods and says

"You're right... I'm going to look at the droids, want to join me, doc?"

Olivar:He walks into the tiddy bar before he swings on the kid

Vedro:"Sure. I'll head along." He looks over to Olivar, "Good luck in there." He then looks back to Tyzen, "Alright, let's go."

Tyzen:Tyzen turns back the way he was headed and keeps going

"I don't like him.'

Vedro:He walks with Tyzen, putting his hands in his pockets, "He's not bad."

"I've met people like them on my adventures. Life hardens people."

Tyzen:"Doesn't have to be bad for me to not like him."

Vedro:"Well, fair enough. What do you not like about him?"

Tyzen:"His eyes."

Vedro:"His... eyes?"

Tyzen:"And his voice."

"And his breath."

"I just don't like him."

Vedro:"Well, I can't argue with that, if that's your opinion. Maybe at some point, you'll start to like him. But if not, I guess, uh... that's just that."

Tyzen:"Yea, I guess that's just that."

Vedro:"Well, is he the only guy you don't like?"

Tyzen:"Apart of the group."

Vedro:"Alright, at least he's the only guy, I suppose."

Narrator:As Vek walks into the bar he finds it to be a pretty simple place, some strippers dancing on poles, some people getting lap dances, a couple of drunks sitting at the bar, and the room is mostly dark with lights on the walls being the light of the room

Vek:He pulls his hood over his face a bit more and goes to find somewhere to sit

Human:It's not that hard as he finds a place pretty quickly, as he does a woman walks over and asks

"What can I get for you, handsome?"

Vek:"..Uh..water?"

Human:"Anything else?"

Vek:"That should be fine, thanks.."

Human:"Alright, be right back."

The woman says walking away, it's doesn't take long for the lights in the room to dim even more and smoke to fill the floor as on the middle stage a green twi'lek dances. Olivar enters the bar as the woman returns to Vek with his water

"Here you go."

Vek:"Thank you." He takes a hold of it and just tries to sit back and relax, reflecting on the everything that's happened since he left Tatooine

Olivar:He shakes his head, peeved, and goes to take a seat near the stage

Human:Nothing further happens for the two as Vek sits by his lonesome, reflecting and Olivar gets an eye load of twi'lek skin

Olivar:He mumbles "Why is it always twi'lek?"

Narrator:While they sit at the bar and Tyzen, accompanied by Vedro go to a droid shop, Duga finds himself making his way through the city when he hears someone call out

"HELP!"

Duga:He looks toward the sound

Human:As he does, Duga is able to see a piece of a pink being be thrown into a near by alley by two drugged out homeless looking men

Duga:Curious about the pink blur, he heads over to check it out

Human:As he does he finds a pink twi'lek have it's clothes ripped off as the drug-addled men, looking back to the cloaked figure entering the alley, yell out him

"HEY!"

"Get out of here!"

Duga:"Ah, not quite what I was expecting."

Human:"We don't give a good hootin' swoopin' damn what you were expecting!"

"Get the Holta out of here!"

Duga:"Hmph." He flicks his finger, attempting to send the man directly up

Duga Uses Force Push!

Duga:Uses the Force! (91)

Human:Toughs it Out! (53)

The man isn't able to do anything as he's tossed into the air, screaming in fear

"AH!"

Duga:Does (15) Damage, With the Force!

• He looks to the other man, his eyes glowing from within his hood8

Human:The other watches his friend fly into the air and land back on the ground and looks back to Duga before starting to back however trips over a brick, causing him to fall

"No!"

"Please!"

"We weren't going to do any!"

"I swear, we just need the money!"

Duga:"Scurry, filth."

Human:"..."

The man gets back to his feet, shaking in fear as he says

"Thank you.. BUT YOU ARE THE FILTH!"

With that he brings out a blaster and fires at Duga

Shoots! (37)

Duga:Defends! (77)

He sidesteps "You shouldn't have done that."

Human:He goes to fire again but the blaster jams as silence cuts through the alley

Duga:He pull holds out his hand

Duga Uses Force Choke!

Human:"Let's.."

"Let's talk about this."

Duga:Uses the Force! (97)

Human:Toughs it Out! (99)

The man feels a small tightness on his throat however ignores it, thinking it's the tumor he's had for awhile

He then throws the blaster at Duga and begins running at him

Shoots! (104)

Duga:Defends! (113)

He barely dodges this time, not saying anything as he pulls out his saber and slashes at the oncomer

Attacks! (142)

Human:"HE YAO!"

Attacks! (87)

Defends! (82)

Duga:Does (67) Damage!

Human:The man's arm drops to the ground as he screams and holds his side

"AHHH! No, no, no, oh futa! No!"

Duga:"Pathetic." He turns off his saber

Human:"Don't you think it's over!"

The man goes to headbut Duga

Attacks! (107)

Duga:Defends! (149)

He crabs the man by his face. "Yes. It is." He scoops his foot behind the man to trip him

Attacks! (145)

Human:"HOA"!

Defends! (24)

Duga:Does (20) Damage!

Human:He's out

Duga:He wipes his hand on his robes

He then turns to the Twi'lek if it's still there

Narrator:During the battle, the twi'lek made her escape

Duga:He nods, expecting this, and continues on his way

Tyzen:As he exits the alley he sees Tyzen walking along side Vedro

Duga:He approaches

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to him and with a smile and a excited wave says

"Hey, Duga!"

Duga:"Hello, child and doctor."

Tyzen:"Where were you?"

Duga:"I was distracted. It turned out to be a waste of time."

Vedro:"Well, that sucks."

Tyzen:"We got distracted too, although I don't know if they were wastes of time."

"What distracted you?"

Duga:"A pair of troublesome rats."

Vedro:"Rats are pretty tasty."

Tyzen:"Really?"

"I've never had one."

Vedro:"Yea, when you gotta eat, you get to try plenty of new things."

"I had to eat rats during the time I was a slave, since I hardly got fed."

Tyzen:"Sounds like a bad time."

Vedro:"It was"

.*

Tyzen:"At least you were able to move past it."

Vedro:"But that's in the past. Yea."

Duga:"Now, what are you two up to?"

Vedro:"I was checking out some droids with him."

Tyzen:"Yep, just got done."

"Now we're kind of just walking around."

"Want to join us?"

Duga:"I would not mind."

Narrator:The scene heads back to Olivar and Vek as a woman walks up behind him and begins to give Vek a message asking

"Do you want some company?"

Vek:He moves away a little and looks back "Huh?"

Narrator:Massage*

Doral:As he moves away, she bends down and holds onto the back of the chair

"I'm asking if you want some one to join you."

Vek:"Oh, uh...yea, sure." He keeps his eyes on her and tries to keep a bit of distance, still

Doral:She makes her way around him and begins to dance provocatively in front of his seat

"What's your name?"

Vek:He sets his glass down "Vek."

Doral:"Vek huh? That's a cool name, I'm Doral."

Vek:He stares at her a bit funny

"Doral?"

Doral:"Uh huh. I think it's a pretty nice name, not rare but not too common, you know?"

Vek:"Uh...yea...nice name..you don't know anyone named Buroal, right?"

Doral:"He may have been a customer but.. If I'm being honest, unless they pay for a special, I usually don't remember names."

Vek:"..You know what, don't worry about it.."

Doral:"Alright."

She has continued to dance in front of him in an alluring way, similar to the others with seats off to the side

"What brings you here?"

Vek:"...How specific is here?"

Ijiwo:Olivar is steadily watching the girl he has found to be named Ijiwo get closer and closer to him on the stage, continuing to dance for his and three others' amusement

Olivar:He's sipping some soda

Doral:"Well, I meant the bar but you can tell me about why you're on the planet, or this part of the rim if you want."

Vek:"...Let's just stick to the bar.." He looks around a bit, leaning back "I guess, places like these remind me of home.."

Doral:"Oh yea? Where are you from?"

"Siskeen?"

Vek:"Uh..close."

Doral:"Geonosis?"

Vek:"Hotter.."

Olivar:He winks at the dancer, and then realizes his helmet is still down. "..."

Doral:"Alright."

Doral says as she gets closer, getting a little more personal and physical with the dance

Vek:"W-"

"I think you misinterpreted what I said.."

Ijiwo:She seems to be showing him a little more attention than the others

Doral:"You said you wanted it hotter, is this not enough?"

She questions as she grinds against his lap

Vek:"...I m-meant you were getting clos- Tatooine, it's fucking tatooine.."

Doral:"Oh yea? I've heard of that place."

"Not too many good things about it, but I've never been there myself."

Vek:"Yea..." He tried to scoot back away from her a bit "Look, I appreciate what you're doing here, but you're not going to get anything out of me."

Olivar:He finger guns

Charms! (91)

Ijiwo:Charms! (136)

His charms have no appeal

However she does smile at him

Doral:"Oh really? Why not? Don't you like me?"

"Or are you into other sentients?"

Vek:"..I don't know what the fuck you're trying to imply there, so I'm going to ignore that. I'm just saying, I'm not out here to blow all my creds."

Doral:She stops and looks back to him

"Just here for a free show?"

Vek:"..Like I said, places like these remind me of home, I was just..reflecting on things. I've had a hell of a few weeks."

Doral:"Well, we aren't just for looks, buddy. We also talk to our clients."

Vek:"I noticed.."

Doral:"Well, enjoy your thoughts by yourself."

With a pouty like attitude, she stands up and says

"If you wind up wanting company, just ask Jesse at the bar for me."

She then walks to the back of the room, entering a door that says 'Employees only'

Vek:He rubs the back of his head, sighing, going to stand up as he looks around once more

Narrator:Most of the bar is in the same state as when he entered with the exception of Olivar sitting in front of the stage, watching the green twi'lek dance

Vek:"..." He checks his robes and pockets to make sure nothings missing, before going over toward Olivar

Ijiwo:Nothing seems to be missing as he makes his way to Olivar

Vek:He takes a seat next to him "Where'd Tyzen go?"

Olivar:"He went with the Doc. I got tired of his bitch ass."

Vek:He shakes his head "He's just a kid, Olivar."

Olivar:"Doesn't mean he isn't annoying as fuck."

Vek:"Just don't take it so personal..give him some time, I'm sure he'll grow out of it.." He looks around, then back to Olivar "So, speaking of our Zabrak problem.."

Olivar:"What of it?"

Vek:"You were supposed to follow him, remember? Back before..everything on the ship happened."

Olivar:"Yeah, well, that fell apart when he completely ditched us."

Vek:"Exactly."

"There's no way he got confused as to which way the 'jedi' was going."

"He intentionally slipped away from us."

"I don't like that."

Olivar:"Same, same."

Vek:"And, no offense, but Talz' outburst is sure to have roused some suspicion for him..We gotta be a bit more careful, moving forward."

Olivar:"I agree, I agree...what do you think our next move should be? In general, I mean?"

Vek:"Honestly, I have no idea...It wouldn't feel right to just boot him off the ship."

Olivar:"Especially when we don't know if he's done anything..."

(To Vek): "Door"

Vek:"Yea..regardless of his ideology, he's been there for us, got us the bet money..and I'm sure-" He stops, and turns to the doorway

Olivar:He looks over as well

Human:As they look, they see two men walk in the building and scan the room, looking really suspicious

Vek:"...."

"Great."

Olivar:"...we should split."

Vek:He tosses the dancer 50 creds and stands up, sticking his hands into his robe, nodding "We should really be getting off of Zhar soon, anyway.."

Olivar:He nods, looking around "Is there any back doors?"

Vek:He motioned to the Employee's only door "Might be one back there. But we could probably get through the front without any trouble..your call."

Olivar:"You sure we could just walk by those two?"

Vek:"Depends. You think they're looking for us or someone else?"

Olivar:"Can we ever be too careful with an army after us?"

Vek:"You probably have more experience at things like this, so I'll trust your judgement."

Olivar:"I'm not looking for a fight, I say we head out the back."

"Well...there's no guarantee one's back there..."

"Hmm..." He shakes his head "Yeah, might as just head out the front."

Vek:"...I've got an idea, actually."

Olivar:"Oh?"

Vek:He looks for someone who looks like a Jesse

Human:He is able to see a girl at the bar who looks like a Jesse

Vek:"Jesse?"

Human:She looks to him and shakes her head, nodding to the guy next to her

Vek:He looks over to him "Hey, can you get Doral for me?"

Human:"Doral?"

The guy looks down at a datapad behind the bar before taking out a communicator

"Doral, there is a guy in brown robes at the bar for you."

Doral:It takes a minute however she eventually comes to the bar and looks to Vek

"Changed your mind?"

Vek:"Not exactly.."

He pulls out 3,000 creds "Think you could keep those guys busy, maybe get some info out of them?" He motions for the suspicious dudes

Doral:"I sure can try."

She says taking the money and walking over to the duo

Vek:He leans back on the bar and watches

Doral:Between the distance and loader than average music for a store, Vek is unable to determine what is being said however he watches as she easily persuades the two to take a seat at a chair and talks to the two as she dances, going between them

Olivar:"Good call."

Vek:He nods, and keeps watching, keeping his eye on the situation, but making sure they still had a clear shot out of there

Doral:She continues to dance as one of the men start to touch her, feeling her up but is quickly slapped away, when he is the second man stands up quickly and grabs her, pulling out a blaster and placing it to her head as the other pulls out a blaster and fires at the ceiling of the building yelling out

"Everyone on the ground!"

Human:"NOW"!

Olivar:He grabs a drink off the bar and crouches down

Vek:He starts walking over

Olivar:*omit

He follows, grabbing a drink still

Human:They look at the enclosing man and point his gun at him

"Didn't you hear me!?"

Everyone else in the bar drop

Olivar:"I would put those down if I were you."

"Me and my buddy here are God killers."

Vek:"..." he just nods, his hand reached into his robe

Olivar:He does the same "Just lower your weapons and scram."

Human:The men shoot

Shoots! (115)

Vek:Defends! (139)

He pulls his lightsaber out and flicks it on, blocking the blasts "Last chance."

Olivar:He pulls out his green lightsaber

Human:"What the fuck!? You're a saber wie- both of you!?"

Vek:"Get. Out."

Olivar:He takes a stance

Human:The man who shot runs as the one who is still standing there continues to hold the blaster at Dural's head as she's obviously very spooked right now

"Damn it man, you said you wouldn't bail on me again!"

Vek:"Let the girl go, and get out of here."

Human:"Man, come on!"

"Just... Here, let me take the girl and go, and no one else gets hurt."

Olivar:"You aren't in the position to negotiate."

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek:He rushes forward to chop his arm off

Makes a Dexterity Check! (156)

Human:Defends! (29)

Vek:Does (50) Damage!

Human:"Wha- AH!"

The man's arm is lobed off and falls to the ground, blaster still in hand as Doral makes a run for it as soon as he lets her go and goes to grab his stub

"You sorry son of a girk brooder!"

Olivar:He downs the drink, puts down the glass, and rolls his neck

Vek:"Olivar, what do you think?"

"Should we let him go?"

Human:"Fuck you!"

Olivar:"Nah."

Vek:"Good answer."

Olivar:*He puts up his lightsaber."

(To Vek): "Alive"

(To Olivar): "Kill"

Vek:He then stops

Olivar:"..."

Vek:He goes to grab the man by the collar

"Who do you work for?"

Human:As he grabs him by the collar, the man spits in Vek's face

Olivar:He closes his eyes, takes a seat on a chair, and tries his damnedest to meditate like Duga once did "Not this time..."

Human:"You can suck my over sized saber!"

Vek:He goes to slam him into a table

"I'm not going to ask you thrice, you piece of shit, who do you work for?"

Olivar:He jumps, and then shakes his head, trying to meditate again, wanting to figure out where the hell this is coming from

(To Olivar): As he thinks, he is able to withstand the thoughts as they slowly turn from "Kill" to "Live"

Olivar:He cocks his head, trying to dig deeper, but also just out of confusion

Human:As he's slammed into the table he grits his teeth

"Myself."

He says as he smiles

Vek:He throws him at a wall

(To Olivar): The voices are coming from the back of his mind

Olivar:His eyes shoot open

Human:He hits it and falls back, laughing

"That's it!?"

Olivar:He stands, slowly, almost shaking

Human:"That's all you got!?"

Vek:He flicks his lightsaber back on and puts it to his neck "If you want to throw your life away, be my guest."

Human:"No, be my guest!"

The man yells as he starts to lean into the saber but is forced back as it burns him

Vek:"..."

(To Vek): "Live"

Vek:"You dumb fucking idiot."

Olivar:He seems speechless for a moment

"V-Vek..."

Vek:"What?"

Olivar:"I'm...I'm not sure what I expected..."

"...I heard it coming from inside me."

Vek:"What the hell are you talking about?" He turns away from the man, now

Turning his saber off

Olivar:"I-I was meditating like Duga...it stopped saying Kill, and instead said Live....I could sense it, coming from within..."

Vek:"Yea, I'm hearing a bit of that."

Olivar:"...shit, do you think that girl was right?"

Vek:"I'm sure she was right about some things, but clearly not all." He said, as he went to look for Doral

Doral:Vek and Olivar noticed she went back into the employees only area

Vek:he looks for Jesse "Hey, can you tell her to come back out? The situation's handled."

Human:Jesse looks from over the bar and says

"You took care of them?"

Olivar:He's just leaning on the bar, trying to get over what just happened

Vek:"More or less."

Human:"What do you want her for?"

Vek:"I just want to talk."

Human:"..."

Shivering, he takes out his communicator and says

"Doral.. your friends want you back here, everything is alright."

Doral:It takes several minutes for Doral to finally peak from the door, just cracking it enough to see them

Vek:He looks over "Hey, you okay?"

Doral:Doral nods, wiping some tears from her face

She is still shaking with fear from the event

Vek:He goes to pat her shoulder "I was gonna...uh..you can just keep the money. Sorry about all this." He looks back to Olivar "Alright, let's get going."

Doral:Doral doesn't really have a response, instead just slowly closing the door

Olivar:*He shakes his head, gives a less than enthusiastic finger gun, and begins to walk out8

Vek:He follows suit

Tyzen:As they get back, they find Tyzen, Duga, and Vedro just arriving at the ship as well, some blaster burns on the ground just outside and some on the ship over

"I don't recall those being here before."

Duga:"They do seem new."

Vek:"Ah, what the hell's this?"

Vedro:"Well, something happened."

Olivar:"...I'm...well, I'm not even surprised."

Qotaro:He walked up, going to open the ramp for them all, as he said, "Gabba ga!"

Vek:He sighs in relief, as he approaches the ramp

Tyzen:"Hey, Qotaro!"

Qotaro:They then noticed, as the ramp lowered enough, he was on someone's back, and they were on all fours on the ground, "Gabba!"

Olivar:"...okay, what the fuck."

Tyzen:"Huh.."

Jalj:She makes a horse sound

Qotaro:"No noises."

Olivar:"OKAY!"

"WHOA!"

Vek:"...."

Olivar:"Tha-that's my fucking contact!"

Jalj:She stops and looks at the crew

Vedro:"You know, I wasn't ready for this."

Qotaro:"No."

Olivar:"What the fuck?!"

Qotaro:"Is my betch."

Olivar:"What the actual fuck?!"

Vedro:"Shit man, I think we came in at the wrong time."

Duga:"And you think I'm the monster?"

Qotaro:"No, no."

"She wants to."

Chip:Chip walks up just behind him and says

"Roger! Roger!"

Olivar:"TH-Wh- excuse me?"

Jalj:Jalj smiles and gives him a nod

Olivar:He needs to hold onto something

Ashhera:Ashhera walks up and says

"Oh, hello friends."

Olivar:"Well holy shit!"

Vedro:"Alright, this is fucking weird."

Ashhera:"Sorry, after you all left I seen a music place down the street and felt like I had to at least see what they had."

Vedro:"Can you get off that thing?"

Olivar:"I'm not sure how the hell to respond to any of this."

Qotaro:He shrugs, as he steps off, and stretches

Olivar:"She works for fucking Solstice..."

"Well...not anymore, I guess."

Ashhera:He looks over at the girl and Qotaro and back to the crew

"What did I miss?"

Qotaro:"Gabba."

He then goes to go back to the ship controls

Vedro:"Alright, well, I'll be on board. I'm gonna try to forget that shit." he says, walking on board

Olivar:He edges his way past Jalj and then speed walks to the middle of the room

Ashhera:With Jalj being driven to the controls, Ashhera looks to Olivar and says

"I got a super good deal."

Olivar:"On what?"

Ashhera:"Had to sell one of my things, but I got a hirptoa."

Duga:He looks at Jalj for a moment. "I wonder what broke her so..." he then wanders toward his spot

Olivar:"A what?"

Ashhera:"A really rare instrument that can cover a wide range of sounds."

Olivar:"...cool."

Human:As Duga opens his door, he finds the hanging man, beaten pretty badly just swinging from his ceiling

Vek:He just steps aboard and rubs his neck, making sure everyone is accounted for

Duga:"Qotaro."

Olivar:"What'd you have to sell off?"

Marko:Marko is found at the head of the ship with just about everyone else that he hadn't seen until getting on the ship again

Ashhera:"My timberlo."

Duga:He heads toward the controls of the ship

"Qotaro, did you leave a prisoner tied up on the ship?"

Olivar:"Ah man. Was it worth it?"

Ashhera:"Totally."

Olivar:"Awesome."

Qotaro:"Hmm? Gabba cha?"

Duga:"There is a beaten man hanging. Still alive. Did you do it?"

Qotaro:"Gabba? No ga?"

Duga:"That's not quite answering the question."

Qotaro:"Yea, no ga."

Duga:He sighs, heading back and pulling out his saber

Marko:Marko watches Duga walk away and looks to Qotaro

"No ga?"

Qotaro:He nods, "No ga."

Vek:He eyes Duga, and looks to Qotaro "Alright, Q, we can get out of here whenever you're ready."

Qotaro:"Gatcha." He says, stretching, before getting ready to get out of there

Duga:He disposes of the man

Qotaro:Shortly afterwards, he makes sure everything is ready, then goes tot ake off

Marko:Everything is in place and the group is able to take off

Qotaro:He takes off then

Human:It takes a few moments, however the Ural eventually finds themselves over the jungle

Duga:He dumps the body out of the trash chute

Human:As he opens it, he finds several other body parts already packed into the chute

Duga:"That's convenient."

Human:"AH!"

The man screams as he is thrown out along with the other bodies, causing blood and parts to rain down on the forest

Duga:He flicks his hands to get some blood off before closing the chute

Olivar:He just watches Duga do this

"..."

Vek:"Well, we got a bit before we arrive..." He stands, waving everyone off as he heads back to his room

PAGE 19: Zhar pt.2 // END

PAGE 20: Radnor pt.2 // START

(To Vek): As Vek begins to put together his new saber, he begins hearing the voices once more call out "Zabrak. Owner." Unlike the usual voices he hears, they aren't coming from the back of his head, this time coming from the new crystal he got as he can see it glowing from the place he sat it while dismantling his previous sabers

(From Vek): He shook his head, looking over at it a bit "Which one?"

(To Vek): As Vek asks this, he fills a tap on his shoulder, based on the feel, size, and direction, he is able to gather it is Tyzen before being asked "Hey Vek, what are you doing?"

(From Vek): He shakes his head and just goes to start finishing up, as he looks over to Tyzen "Just working on this.. talking with that girl got me thinking how I could improve my saber."

(To Vek): "Oh.. That's good.. But.. I just wanted to ask, and you're the only one besides Duga who can hear the voices.. Well, I guess Oliver can too, but I don't really want to ask him and I don't want to wake Duga up.. Or stop his meditation, I can never tell which he's doing."

(To Vek): "Do you ever hear them.. Like calling?"

(From Vek): "Calling like how?"

(To Vek): "I don't know.. I keep hearing my name, it started back on Vegreso but they were coming from you, I thought you were trying to talk to me but you didn't seem to have anything to say when we were together, so I ignored them. I was reading a.. data pad that Duga gave me and I heard them getting louder and louder and they seemed to have been coming from in here."

(From Vek): "...Yea, that's pretty weird."

(To Vek): "Owner" As Vek hears this, he notices that since Tyzen walked into the droid charging room the crystal has since brightened

(From Vek): He just shook his head, reaching for the crystal and going to put it in the hilt, now

(To Vek): Tyzen watches as Vek continues to put together his new lightsaber

Ural:Finally getting to the planet they sat off for, the Ural enters the atmosphere of Radnor as Tyzen walks out from the new bedroom, wiping his eyes from waking up, Bait sits next to Qotaro, helping him steer the ship as Ashhera practices a new song and Marko walks up behind Tyzen. Jalj lays in Qotaro's bed as R3 sits beside the ramp and Chip stands in his usual place just to the right of Qotaro

Vedro:He was sitting near the ramp, drinking from a bottle, as he stretched, "Man..."

Vek:He steps out into the main section of the ship, looking around, as he looks to Vedro "Everything alright?"

Olivar:He sits on a crate, scrolling through the map "Hmm...can you pick up galactic radio transmissions?" He asks R3

• a map coming from R3

Duga:He's in his room, meditating, with many objects floating around him

R3-I7:"R3 = no // Radio Transmissions = upgrade"

Vedro:"Yea, basically... just been needing a drink lately." He looks over, "How about you?"

Vek:He nods "More or less, yea."

Olivar:"Are those common?"

R3-I7:"Upgrade = no"

Olivar:"Damn..."

"What about just...straight up radios?"

R3-I7:"Radios = Ashhera"

Olivar:"Ash has one?"

R3-I7:"Ashhera = musician"

Olivar:"...oh yeah."

"Well, thanks..." He walks over to Ashhera

Ashhera:As Olivar walks over, he can see Ashhera is playing with his newest instrument, while sitting on his box he looks to Olivar and asks as he approaches

"What can I do for you, friend?"

Olivar:"Hey, you have a radio, right? Can you tune into some public galactic broadcasts. I wanna know what's going down in the Inner Rim, Core, places like that."

Ashhera:"Well, I'm sorry friend, but I don't have any radio."

Olivar:"Damn."

Vedro:"Alright... you got any plans on this planet here"

?*

Vek:"Not really."

"This is just where we were supposed to go before our...whatever busted. Felt fitting to stop by it before getting to Iskalon."

Duga:It's at this point that he walks out of his room

Vedro:"Oh, alright. I don't know much about this place, but I'm sure it'll be fine."

Tyzen:As he walks over, Duga finds Tyzen standing in front of him as he was just about to enter the room

"Oh, hey, great timing!"

"We're here."

Duga:"Perfect timing, indeed."

He looks around "What is the goal on this planet?"

(To Duga): Duga is able to hear hundreds of small voices in the back of his head say "Make the child your apprentice, he is strong in the force and will make a great partner."

Vek:"We don't particularly have one."

Duga:"Then the point of stopping here is lost one me."

on*

Vek:"Well, first, we want to make sure we're fully fueled up."

"Secondly, we need to investigate what Ashhera mentioned about Iskalon."

Olivar:"I wanna see if I can get some news from the Inner Rim..."

Duga:He nods

Tyzen:"I don't really think you'll be able to get much around here."

Olivar:"Yeah, same...would like to see if I get lucky, though."

Marko:"What's a inner rim?"

Olivar:"...kinda an arbitrary border where a lot more like...counties exist. Less lawlessness. That's about all I know."

"..." He looks to R3 "Why is it called the Inner Rim?"

Marko:"... Alright."

Marko says still unsure as to what it is

R3-I7:"Name = history."

Olivar:"Got any reading material on it?"

R3-I7:"R3 = doesn't store books"

Olivar:"Oh. Well, there we go, new goal."

"Get some holobooks."

Duga:"Libraries store wonders." He says dryly

Marko:"What's a holobook?"

Olivar:"It's like a book, but on a computer."

Marko:"Oh.. We just used Meil bone."

Tyzen:"What's a Meil?"

Marko:"Creatures of the deep, had very full bones."

Tyzen:"What did they look like?"

Qotaro:"Watcha ba!" He called out, as he went to land the ship

Marko:"Horrifying."

B8-G6:"Master Qotaro, isn't this where we were originally headed?"

Duga:"Very large? Could swallow ships whole?"

Marko:"Maybe your ship."

Qotaro:"Yea, gatcha ba."

Tyzen:"What about this one?"

Duga:He shrugs "I was simply trying to ascertain if a Meil is what ate me."

Marko:"Yes, it could probably eat this one."

"Based on the description the fishermen gave after we met, I do not believe so."

"I was most likely a Wetopa."

Duga:"I see."

Marko:"Very large creatures that eat just about anything floating on the surface of the water. Mainly come out at night."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks to Duga and asks with a curious tone

"You were eaten?"

Duga:"Upon my arrival on Drexel."

"Obviously, I survived."

Tyzen:"How?"

Duga:"I cut my way out."

Olivar:"...cool."

Tyzen:"That's awesome!"

Ashhera:Vedro begins hearing a sound he hasn't heard in a goostwol's age as Ashhera finally gets down the sounds he had been working on since they left Zhar

Duga:"Music. One of the few vanities I've kept since the start of my journey."

Vedro:"... W-..." He looks up, "Well, holy shit."

Olivar:He had no idea that's the sound his instrument made

Ashhera:As he looks up Vedro is able to see Ashhera rock the fuck out, head banging and all

As he finishes, he looks up to the crew and says

"I did it!"

Vedro:"Goddamn, I wasn't expecting that."

Ashhera:"That was the hardest thing I've had to do it years!"

Vedro:"Really? Damn man."

Duga:"By all mean, could you play more?"

Vedro:"You did it, though."

Ashhera:"Well, unfortunately that was the main thing I've been working on over the past three or four days. Sorry if it was short but I'm still getting use to this beauty and I don't like playing songs until I feel like they're just right, at least not for an audience."

Vedro:"I get you man, don't worry."

"I just wish I had the same liberty with patients sometimes."

Ashhera:"Yea, that would be nice."

He goes back to playing

Vedro:He goes back to sipping on his bottle

Duga:He finds a seat, listening

B8-G6:Finally landed and settled, Bait calls out to the crew

"You may let down the ramp, Master Qotaro has landed us."

Vedro:"Sweet." He goes to let it down

Tyzen:As he lets it down, Tyzen grabs Duga's hand and says excitedly

"Let's go!"

Olivar:He watches Tyzen take Duga's hand, and then looks to Vek

R3-I7:R3 sits next to the lowered ramp

Vek:he was looking the other way

Duga:He looks down confusedly at the child as he's dragged along

Marko:Marko looks to the group

"Is fuel the only thing we're getting, captain?"

Olivar:He nudges Vek

Vek:"I mean, if you have money you can get whatever you want." He looks to Olivar

"No slaves, though."

Olivar:He finger guns to Tyzen and Duga

Marko:"I was just curious how long we were going to be staying."

Vek:He sighs "Let's just keep an eye.." He mumbles under his breath, toward Olivar, as he goes to follow Tyzen and Duga, before looking back to Marko "Probably not too long, if nothing crazy happens."

Ashhera:He grabs his flute and goes back to playing some of the tunes he did while on the way to Radnor

Vedro:He gets up and stretches, going out with them

Qotaro:"Watcha ba!'

• He says, turning around, to do some regular ship and droid maintenance!"

Chip:Chip stands next to his master, gun ready

Qotaro:He says, turning around, to do some regular ship and droid maintenance*

Olivar:He hops out, looking around

Tyzen:"Alright, we only have a few minutes, where can we go?"

Tyzen asks Duga as he drags him off the ship, revealing a shitty little town with probably just enough fuel to fill the Ural. As he sees this Tyzen slows down until stopping and says

"Oh.. well.. I guess we don't have much to pick from."

Vek:He takes in the air "Reminds me of home.."

Tyzen:"Really? This is what your home was like?"

Vedro:"Hey, I've seen worse before." He said, taking a look around

Vek:"A lot more jawas and droids."

Tyzen:"There are more Qotaros?"

Vek:"No."

"There is only one Qotaro."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back to Duga

"What do you think of the place?"

Duga:"It reminds my of a dry Drexel."

Olivar:"..everywhere is a dry Drexel."

Vedro:"The hell's a Drexel?"

Tyzen:"But Drexel had a city.. Before we were there."

Olivar:"A fuckin' ocean, that's what it was."

Vedro:"Oh, alright."

Duga:"It was barely more than a shanty town."

Vedro:"An ocean shanty town?"

Tyzen:"Well, it had a city that seemed to have been built by ships.. But it was mostly ruins by the time we got there."

Vedro:"Oh, yea, that makes sense. Well, that sucks."

Tyzen:"One of the people in hoods said it used to be a nice city."

Duga:He chuckles "All I'll say is that there are better places to land, but this will do."

Vek:He looks to the ground for a bit, before shifting his focus back up, as he scans around "Well, better get to it.." He heads for the gas station

Tyzen:"C'mon, Duga, let's see what else is around here."

Tyzen pulls Duga with him and starts heading for the town

Zignat:As Vek and whoever followed him enters the fuel station, he finds a creature that he's only seen one of before sitting at the register reading a piece of paper

Olivar:He looks to Vek once again "...wonder what made him suddenly just...attach himself to Duga."

Duga:Once more, he's drug off

Vek:He nods "Follow them, I'll join you after this is settled."

Vedro:He walked into the fuel station and took a look around

Olivar:He finger guns, and jogs after Duga and Tyzen

Vek:"..Why does he keep doing that..."

Vedro:"I don't know, man."

Vek:He turns to the person at the register

"Hey, we're looking to fuel up."

Zignat:Inside the station seems to be nothing more than a few empty racks where he can only assume food would be stored. The only thing that there seems to be inside is the Aqualish at the register

Vedro:"Man, this is... yea."

Zignat:He looks to Vek

"What type?"

Vek:"...What...types are there?"

Zignat:"Jubo, Whopper, and Huaq..."

The aqualish looks at the ship and back to them

"You probably take the Huaq."

Vedro:"What does that imply about us, exactly?"

Vek:"I don't know what any of that shit means."

Zignat:"The fuel."

"You look like your ship takes Huaq."

Vek:"Let me go ask."

He goes to ask Qotaro

He comes back

"Yea, you're right."

"We'll take some of that.":

Zignat:"Thought so. You can go and sit on your ship, ain't nothing else around here to do. I'll let you know when you're ready to go."

Vek:"...Alright, thanks."

Zignat:With that he says something in an alien language and types something in a really old computer on the counter before going back to reading

Vek:He just walks out, looking around at the emptiness of it all

Tyzen:Olivar is able to catch up to Tyzen and Duga as Vek walks out right as he catches up

"So, what do you want to do first? We can look at the library, we can look at the junk yard, the weapons, the bar."

"There.. Really isn't that much going on but we can still try."

Duga:"If this place has a library, it likely defunct. Perhaps the junk yard if you are so eager. "

Tyzen:"Alright."

Tyzen continues to pull Duga towards the place with a sign that reads 'Throw your shit out here.'

Olivar:He follows

Vek:He follows him following

Tyzen:Tyzen goes into the junk yard and starts looking around as the place is as what he said, a big yard of junk, be it from travelers stopping on the planet or the towns people breaking their items, this place is full of none wanted items

"I remember back when I lived in a place like this."

"This brings back some memories."

Duga:"I imagine you hated it."

Tyzen:"At first but.. I got used to it. Had to."

Duga:He nods, looking at all of the junk "We all must grow used to our environs. It doesn't mean we must enjoy it."

Olivar:He also starts walking through the trash "...You grew up on a junk planet, too?"

Tyzen:"Wait, there are whole junk planets?"

"Guess that explains alot."

Olivar:"Fuck you."

Duga:He chuckles darkly

Vek:He rubs his head a bit as he walks in behind Olivar "Wow..."

Olivar:"You're a real piece of shit."

Tyzen:Tyzen goes to gathering scraps

"If you think so."

Duga:He looks to Tyzen "Child, can you feel the Force?"

Olivar:"I'm tired of your shit, too!"

"God damn evil voices, dragging people out of your room and shoving them in the god damn garbage chute!"

Tyzen:He continues collecting scraps, saying along the way

"You mean hear the voices?"

Duga:"I was disposing of Qotaro's prisoner" He turns back to Tyzen "Not that. Look to those scraps. Imagine them moving. Will them to."

Olivar:He doesn't believe a single piece of what Duga just said

Tyzen:"What are you talking about?"

Tyzen questions, stopping and looking back to him

Duga:He reaches a hand out, moving bits and bobs around "They move according to my will. The Force makes it so. I make it so. I believe you have it in you to do it as well."

Tyzen:Tyzen drops the scraps he's been gathering and says

"That's cool!"

"How do I do it?"

Vek:He looks at his own hands "..Huh."

Tyzen:"Just think about it moving?"

Vedro:He walks up to Olivar and them, as he stretches, "We going dumpster diving here?"

Olivar:"They were."

"I was reminiscing on the past."

Duga:"Don't think. Know it."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "Can you not, you know, move things?"

Vedro:"Man..." He looks around, "Lotsta junk here. Maybe we should look for some scrap parts, potentially."

Olivar:"Like, with the force?" He looks to Vedro "Yeah, that would be nice."

Tyzen:".. Alright."

Tyzen looks at some of the scraps in front of him and goes into a state of deep thought

(From Duga): he tries to focus on the Force, attempting to help Tyzen

(To Duga): "Good."

Tyzen:It takes only a few seconds before Tyzen is able to pick up the object he was staring at, forcing it to levitate a few inches off the ground before looking back to the group and says as it drops

"Did you see that!?"

"I did it!"

"I can do it!"

"I willed it just like Duga said!"

Vek:"...."

"..Good job."

Duga:"He will be strong."

Olivar:"..."

Tyzen:"Can you teach me something else, Duga!?"

Olivar:He looks to Vek again "You start following them around, every time I just hear the kid speak I want to punch him even more."

Vek:"Alright, alright. There's not much else to do around here, though."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "...well, wanna train?"

Vek:"Sure."

Duga:"For now, focus on controlling movement. The more you practice, the better it will become. When you can control it more, I can show you something else."

Vek:"...I've never done that before."

Olivar:"It's easy, watch. Stand right there."

He backs up "Alright, pull out your lightsaber."

"I want you to try and slice what I throw at you."

Isa:"Olivar?"

Suddenly the group hear a female say something from the entrance

Olivar:He freezes

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Vek:He nods, pulling his new saber out, stopping and looking over

"What the fuck?"

Vedro:"What the fuck?" He looks over

Duga:He saber flies into his hand before he looks around

Olivar:He starts laughing, looking at Isa "H-Holy shit!"

"You're alive!"

Duga:He returns his saber to his robe

Isa:"Is that you?"

Olivar:He starts walking over "Yeah, it's me!"

Tyzen:Tyzen nods and goes back to focusing on the scraps, trying his best to make them move

Isa:"Oh, what a great surprise! After you left the ship Hanz and I were attacked."

"I thought you died."

Olivar:"I thought you died!"

"Where's Hanz?!"

He's really excited

Isa:"Well.. I guess we're both pleasantly surprised!"

She says matching his excitement

"He.. He got injured in the fight, he's resting."

"Or he was when I last saw him."

Olivar:"What-What does that mean? Is he not with you?"

Isa:"No, I'm traveling alone this time. I couldn't wait for him to get better."

Olivar:"Where...where is he?"

"...you know what? Nevermind, just tell me...that he's safe."

Isa:"Yea, he's with his uncle back on Kooriva."

Olivar:"Well, what are you doing here?"

Vek:He slowly puts his saber back into his robe as he looks over, switching between them and Duga and Tyzen

Duga:He returns the look, just as lost

Isa:"I'm on my way back to Iskalon, I heard my people formed a rebellion and are fighting back from not just my mother but the Purgs."

"I felt that I had to go back and help them."

Olivar:"They have a rebellion?! Oh thank god!"

"I was worried that we were heading right into enemy territory..."

Duga:"Well, we are."

Isa:"You're going to Iskalon?"

Tyzen:Tyzen is still doing his best to focus on the scrap

Olivar:He looks to Duga "I meant in the way without support." He looks back to Isa "Yeah...a, uh...a lots happened since we last talked."

Isa:"Really? What?"

"I mean, a lots happened to me since we last talked as well."

Olivar:"Well, we're currently all being hunted down by Solstice and one of the Leats."

"Maybe both?"

"I'm not sure."

Isa:"That.. Sucks."

Olivar:"Yeah...but, good news!"

"We're going to kill her ass!"

Isa:"I.. Guess that's good."

Olivar:"Well, yeah. She was chasing you and Hanz down, too."

Isa:"Really?"

Olivar:"It's this whole big conspiracy thing, yeah."

Isa:"That doesn't sound good."

Olivar:"Don't know all of it myself. And yeah, it isn't. She works for a dude named Lord Leat, and he's wanting to be the next Emperor."

Isa:"That really doesn't sound good."

Olivar:He nods "...well! Why don't you start traveling with us?"

"We can catch up while we're on our ship."

Isa:"I'm actually traveling with an aqualish named Zignat. He's getting some fuel right now."

Vek:"WHAT!?"

He runs for the Ural "That piece of shit!"

Vedro:"... H-..."

He goes with Vek

Isa:"But when we land on Iskalon, w-"

She watches Vedro and Vek run for the ship

Zignat:It takes a few minutes for them to get back but as they do they find Zignat take a tube off their ship and look back to them

"You're good to go."

With that he starts walking back into the station

Vek:"..." He takes a deep breath, as he steps aboard to have Qotaro check their fuel from the controls

Qotaro:"Wha?" He goes to check their fuel level

Duga:He is simply confused

Narrator:Qotaro is able to see that their tank is full

Tyzen:Tyzen is still focusing on that scrap

Vek:He sighs and relief, and heads back to the scrap yard "Alright, false alarm."

Isa:As Vek and Vedro get back they see Isa bowing to Olivar and say

"I believe we are about to be taking off, but I hope to see you on the planet, Olivar."

Olivar:"Yeah, same here. Before you go, got any information on a place we can land or people we can contact when we get to Iskalon?"

Isa:"Unfortunately not."

Olivar:"Damn...just gotta hope you make it there before us, huh?"

Isa:"We'll see."

Olivar:"Good luck, Isa."

Isa:"Same to you and your friends."

With that she turns and begins back towards the ships

Vek:"Hey, wait."

Isa:With only a few feet gained, she stops and looks back to the cloaked stranger

"Yes?"

Tyzen:A small piece of metal hits the back of Duga's head

Duga:He turns back toward Tyzen quickly

Tyzen:"Sorry."

Vek:"I wasn't really listening to you two talk, but, do you have a plan for getting around the Purgs around Iskalon? I hear they aren't letting anyone through."

Isa:"They've already formed the barrier?"

"Oh.. Dear.. I didn't know that they've already surrounded it."

Vek:"To my understanding, yea."

Isa:"Well.. I guess Zignat and I will just have to blast our way through."

Vek:"..what kinda firepower do you got?"

Isa:"..."

She thinks for a moment and says with an uncertain tone

"Blasters?"

Vek:"..Like.."

"Person sized..blasters?"

Isa:"I believe Zignat has an assault blaster."

Vek:"I mean..."

"Does your ship not have any guns?"

Duga:He looks back to Isa "You will die with that sort of plan."

Olivar:"...yeah, he's not wrong."

Isa:"I don't believe so but if I die, at least it was trying to help my home."

Vek:"...Where is your ship?"

Isa:"It uh... It's in the ship yard."

Charms! (86)

Vedro:Perceives! (135)

"Man, is that so?"

(To Vedro): Vedro can tell with almost one hundred percent certainty that she is telling the truth

Isa:"Yea."

Vedro:"Alright. What kind of ship is it?"

Isa:"A.. ship?"

Vek:"Can you take us to it?"

Isa:"I guess."

Isa turns back around and heads back the way she came from

"Just follow me."

Vek:He does exactly that

Olivar:He also follows

Duga:He looks back to Tyzen "I'll take it that you are progressing." He rubs the back of his head

Isa:It takes them a few minutes as the town is just as empty as when they landed, but they are finally led to a yard with three broken down ships with a storm trooper and a man working on them on one of them

"It's the one they're messing with."

Tyzen:"Yea, I was trying to move it over but I guess I moved it a little too much."

Vek:"Uhhh.."

"You sure you can trust that guy?"

Duga:"Practice control, then. Power is primary, but one cannot use power they cannot control."

Olivar:He keeps ready

Isa:"He's old and dirty but Dareks over there."

The old and dirty man is the none stormtrooper by appearance

Tyzen:"Alright."

Tyzen goes back to focusing on the scraps of metal

Vek:"..I meant the..storm trooper."

Isa:"Oh, Dareks not a stormtrooper, he's just wearing the armor so we don't have too much trouble."

Vek:"Ah.." That takes him back

Isa:The group is able to see her ship not only doesn't have any guns but probably isn't fast, it appears to be a customized Scout Starship

"It isn't much in looks and even less on the inside but it's gotten me here."

Olivar:"...ah...man."

Vek:"Well I don't think it's going to get you much father."

farther*

Isa:"Really?"

Vek:"I mean, I'm not an expert."

"But yea."

Isa:"Well I've made it this far, I can't just give up now. All we can do is try."

Vek:"...."

he looks back to Olivar

Olivar:"...listen...do you just want...to hitch a ride with us?"

Isa:"That's a nice offer but.."

She looks to the ship and thinks

"I'm not the only one heading to Iskalon. Dareks is on strict orders to follow me and I don't think he'll be happy if I just leave him behind."

Vek:"We can fit him in, too."

Isa:"Really? Well.. Thank you. If you're with Olivar then I believe I can trust you and it would be nice to go with a group of people instead of just the three of us."

Tyzen:"So are you any good with the lightsaber."

?*

Olivar:He finger guns

Tyzen:Tyzen questions as he looks over to Duga

Vedro:"No. I can't fight with a lightsaber. I've never even picked one up."

Vek:He looks at Olivar "Why do you keep doing that?"

Olivar:"Not sure. I did it awhile back out of nervousness..."

Duga:He chuckles "I have fought my share of battles and have come out alive. I would consider myself a practitioner."

Olivar:"And it just kinda stuck."

Vek:He nods "Alright, man, you do you."

Olivar:"Well, need help getting your things?"

Isa:"No, I wasn't really able to grab much the first time I left and since then I've just been traveling light. Give me a few minutes and I'll be ready. Am I right in assuming your ship is the one beside the fueling station?"

Olivar:He nods

Isa:"Alright, let me go and get Dareks and we'll be right over."

Vek:He gives a slight nod, and goes to walk away with Olivar "So...who's that again?"

Isa:Isa walks over to the two working on the ship

Olivar:"The princess of Iskalon."

Tyzen:"So Duga, why are you still with us?"

Vek:"Ah."

Olivar:"And someone who has had some kinda force training."

Vek:he thinks for a moment

"W-"

"What?"

"Wait a minute,"

"Wait, what?"

Olivar:"Yeah, her and that dude Hanz we were talking about earlier studied with someone on Iskalon."

Vek:"W-"

He goes back "Hey!"

Isa:She is already in a conversation with the stormtrooper

Duga:"I am interested in seeing the destiny of this trip.On top of that,, these Leats characters seem like a challenge I wish overcome."

Tyzen:"Really?"

Vek:"F-" he sighs, and goes back to Olivar "Don't let me forget about that. Let's just get back to the ship."

Duga:He nods

Olivar:He nods

Duga:"We will vanquish them."

(To Duga): Duga is able to feel heat come from Tyzen

Tyzen:"I.. Hope so."

Vedro:"I don't even really know what a Leats is."

"Sounds like it tastes bad, though."

Tyzen:"It's someone who is going to die."

Duga:"But revenge for Tyzen here will taste sweet, I am sure."

Vedro:"Oh, I see."

(To Duga): "Good. Make sure to keep him on this path."

Vedro:"Well, I ain't really got any comments for that one. But be careful."

"There's an old saying for revenge."

Tyzen:"And what's that?"

Vedro:"Dig two graves."

Duga:"And there are two Leats."

Tyzen:"One for both Leats. Will do."

Vedro:"Shit, I barely know there was one Leats."

knew*

"So, you got a problem for both Leats?"

Duga:"They stand in my way."

Tyzen:Tyzen goes back to focusing on the scraps

Vedro:"Of what?"

Duga:"My destiny. I can feel it."

Vedro:"Oh. I mean, what is your destiny?"

Duga:"Whatever it turns out to be."

Vedro:"... Fucking beautiful."

"You like... why."

"You should know what you're getting into before you do."

(To Duga): "They will stop you from achieving unlimited power"

Duga:"Which is why I am not barreling down toward them."

Vedro:"You still plan on killing these guys. I mean... alright man."

"If you think it's the best thing to do."

Duga:"For now, I do."

Tyzen:The scrap goes flying into one of the piles as Tyzen losses him temper and yells with innate hatred

"It is!"

Vedro:"I mean, cool, but... I wasn't talking to you, little man."

Duga:He chuckles

Olivar:"Should we go back to the ship or see what Duga and Tyzen are up too?"

Tyzen:".."

Tyzen looks to Vedro and it seems that he wants to say something but stops before stomping out of the junk yard. As he exits the yard, Olivar and Vek are just coming up to the entrance

Vedro:"Damn man. He's pretty dramatic."

Duga:"He's a child."

Vedro:"I know."

"That's why I didn't slap his ass."

Olivar:He watches Tyzen go, and then looks to Vedro and Duga "...what...happened?"

Vedro:"He had a temper tantrum."

Vek:"Oh yea?"

Duga:He nods "His anger overcame him."

Olivar:"..."

"I feel like you had something to do with it."

Vedro:"He's gotta learn to control it better."

Vek:he nods with Olivar

Duga:He shrugs

(To Vek): "Protect. Apprentice." Vek is able to hear the voices return as hundreds of distant voices say in the back of his head "Zabrak. Darkness."

Olivar:"...can you teach him some self restraint instead of...just rage?"

Vek:"What got him upset?"

Duga:"The Leats."

Vek:"..You know, maybe we should reconsider this whole Leats thing."

Vedro:"Someone brought up Leats, and Tyzen talked about revenge."

"I tried to tell him it isn't necessarily a good thing, and then it got worse. I asked who Leats was, and why Duga wants to kill him."

"Then it spiraled out of control."

Vek:He rubs his chin

"..All I'm saying, is we're still completely in the dark about almost all of this."

"Maybe Iskalon will shed some light..but I'm not too sure."

"Some things just aren't adding up."

Vedro:"I brought that up, too."

"I told him he shouldn't do things without knowing what he was getting into, and then he said that's why he isn't rushing into it."

"I asked why he wanted to kill them still, and he kept saying he felt it was his destiny."

"I finally just said if he thinks it's the right thing, and then what's when Tyzen lost his temper and said it was."

Olivar:"...ah...man."

Vedro:"Then I told him I wasn't talking to him, and he ran off."

Vek:"...Okay, well, we need to find him."

"Like, right now."

"We're about to be leaving."

Vedro:"Yea. Let me make one thing clear, first."

"He can get mad, yell, all of that."

"But if he hits me with anything, god forbid that lightsaber of his..."

"I'm spanking him so hard he'll shit blood."

Vek:"If he starts attacking us..."

"I don't even want to think about that."

Olivar:"I gotta side with Vedro."

Duga:"I doubt the child would be that foolish."

Olivar:"..."

He wants to say something

Vedro:"I'm just making sure it's clear for the future."

Vek:"I dunno, he might think he can take Vedro."

Vedro:"He can think whatever he wants."

Vek:"Maybe if he gets him in a one-on-one position."

Vedro:"As long as he doesn't act on it."

Vek:"He probably wouldn't attack any of us when we're all together though."

Vedro:"I doubt it. I'm just saying."

"It ain't going down that easy."

Vek:"I wasn't saying he could, just that he might think he can."

Duga:"Let us move on to find him."

He starts off

Vek:He follows suit

Olivar:He jogs after

Vedro:He goes with them as well

Tyzen:They are able to follow Tyzen's footprints in the sand of the basically desert planet back to the ship

Ashhera:As they get back, Ashhera rushes off the ship and sees the group stopping for a moment before saying

"Ah, Vedro, my friend!"

Qotaro:He was at the ship controls jamming out to some music

Ashhera:"I was just coming to look for you!"

Vedro:"What's up, man?"

Ashhera:"You said you wanted to learn an instrument and I am currently in need of an extra pair of hands and perhaps a mouth."

Vedro:"Oh yea? I guess I could give it a shot. What kind of instrument is that, exactly?"

Ashhera:"My ocargin."

Vedro:"What is that?"

Ashhera:"Come, friend, I will show you."

With that, he leads Vedro back onto the ship and to his box of Ashhera mysteries

Vedro:He goes with him

Tyzen:Qotaro recalls seeing Tyzen stomp into the ship just a few minutes ago and go into a hole in the roof that was used for when Qotaro needed to fix something in between the outside and inside of the ship

Olivar:He looks around "Where the hell..."

Qotaro:He shook hjis head, "Gabba cha... no ga." He said, looking back and pointing for them, so they could know where Tyzsen went

his*

Tyzen*

Olivar:He looks perplexed, and then nods, getting it "Hey, I think you should go talk to the kid..." He says to Vek as he nudges him

Ashhera:"Alright, when I point to you, just hit this right here."

Ashhera is giving Vedro instructions on how to play a weird looking stringed instrument he got out of the box

Vedro:"Uh... alright, I guess I can try to do that."

Marko:Marko sits in the new extra room with spear in hand

Vek:"..Uh..alright.." He goes to follow after Tyzen, now

Tyzen:As Vek peeks inside, he finds Tyzen laying in the crawlspace

Vek:"Hey there, buddy."

Tyzen:"What?"

Tyzen says with dryness, obviously in no mood for a conversation

Vek:"...Look, you wanna talk? Not...in here...uh, Qotaro doesn't like people being in here."

Tyzen:"I'll leave in a minute."

Vek:"I don't think you have a minute, to be honest."

Tyzen:Tyzen starts crawling towards the space

"Fine."

Vek:He slips out to make room for Tyzen to get out

Tyzen:As he hops down from the hole, he heads for the storage room that Duga has seemed to have claimed as his own

Doing his best to avoid contact with everyone

Vek:He goes to say something, but stops, sighing

Qotaro:"Gabba."

Marko:Marko looks to the group and asks

"What's happening?"

"Are we leaving?"

Vek:"We're waiting on some more passengers."

Isa:As Vek says this, the group hears a female voice call out as Isa steps aboard

"I have my things and informed Zignat that we will no longer be joining him."

Vek:He nods, and waits for the trooper

Dareks:After only a few seconds, Dareks appears behind Isa and gives Vek a salute

"Are you Olivar/"

"Thought you wore armor?"

Vek:"No."

"I'm Vek."

Dareks:"Oh.."

Olivar:He looks over "What's up?"

Dareks:"Well nice to meet you Vek."

Dareks pays no mind to Olivar and offers to shake Vek's hand

Qotaro:"Gabba cha."

Vek:"Pleasure's mine." He shakes his hand "I just hope we can get to Iskalon in one piece."

He points to Olivar "That's Olivar, by the way."

Dareks:"I feel the same way."

He follows Vek's arm to the suit of armor and says

"Oh! You must be Olivar!"

"Nice to meet you!"

Olivar:"Nice to meet you." He nods "What's your name?"

Dareks:"My name is Dareks! Isa's uncle would like to thank you for your service!"

Vek:"..."

Dareks:This whole time, Dareks has been yelling when he talks

Olivar:He salutes

Dareks:Dareks gives him a salute back

Qotaro:He turns and points at Dareks, "Aga ba!"

"No gabba!"

"Watcha ba."?

He turns back around

Vek:"Maybe you should take that helmet off."

Dareks:Dareks looks back to Vek and yells out

"Huh!? Did you say something!?"

Duga:His eyes move between the members involved in this

Vek:He goes to take his helmet off

Dareks:Vek does so with no trouble to find that Dareks isn't a normal human

"Oh man.... There isn't a constant static out here."

He grabs his helmet back from Vek and gives him a wink

"It's been awhile since I took this thing off."

Isa:"I don't mean to interrupt but where can I place my bag?"

Dareks:Dareks looks back to Duga and says

"What are you?"

"You don't look pretty at all."

Duga:His eyes glow from within his hood "A traveler."

Dareks:"But what is your race?"

"Do the women look any better/"

Vek:He gets some distance between the two of them and looks back to Isa "We got a storage room but...you can just keep them in our quarter's, that's probably safest."

he gets further away from Dareks

"Uh, you can put your stuff in the storage room, though, Dareks."

Duga:He ignores Darkeks

Dareks*

Dareks:"Can do V man!"

Isa:"Thank you."

"... Where would your quarters be?"

Dareks:"And where is the storage room?"

Vek:"Ask Duga."

he goes to show Isa

Dareks:"Who is?"

Vek:"The one who ain't pretty."

Isa:Isa follows Vek

Dareks:"Oh, so you're their pet?"

"That explains a lot."

"Show me where we shall be sleeping together."

Duga:"Watch your words or you may find it hard to breath." He turns toward the storage room

Dareks:"I love that song!"

He follows Duga into the room, as they enter it they find Tyzen sitting in the middle of the room, copying Duga's meditation posture

"What in the fu- You got a kid!?"

Duga:"He's not my child, but he is a member of this ship."

He turns to Tyzen "Focus on your driving emotion. Use that as a catalyst for your meditation."

Dareks:"Then I guess it's just a q- What?"."

"What the hell did you just tell him to do?"

"Hey man if you guys are into some weird shit I can just wait outside."

Duga:He looks back to Dareks "Drawing upon your emotions is how one grows in the Force."

Tyzen:Tyzen opens his eyes and looks to the two, originally with anger but then stops and stares in utter disbelief as he sees this monstrous being standing next to Duga

Duga:"Do not let that anger fade. It is what will drive you in the days to come."

Dareks:"Alright, you're being weird."

Dareks throws his bag down and looks out of the ship calling out

"Hey, Vek! Your pet is telling his son to embrace some dark side and it's freaking me out!"

Duga:He waves his hand dismissively and walks out

Qotaro:"Trash!"

Vek:He looks back from his room "Dar- the fuck?"

Tyzen:Tyzen takes this in and thinks on it

Vek:he heads over

Olivar:"Why the hell does he think it's a good idea to keep fuckin' pushing!"

Qotaro:"Gabba ga!"

Dareks:"Can I sleep somewhere else?"

Vek:"No."

Dareks:"I don't trust these things."

Vek:"Sorry, it'll have to do."

Dareks:"Damn it."

Dareks says sigh as he shuts the door and looks to Tyzen

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back at him

Dareks:".. If you try to eat me I'll blast you."

Tyzen:"If you continue to speak to me in that tone, I will cut you in half."

Tyzen says angrily before turning around

Dareks:"Wah!"

Dareks opens the door and calls out

"He threatened me!"

"Can I sleep somewhere else now!?"

Vek:".....No."

Duga:He chuckles

Dareks:"Fuq!"

Dareks says reshutting the door and looking back to Tyzen

"You and I have to get along."

Tyzen:Tyzen has no response, going back to trying to meditate

Dareks:"Hey, do you hear me?"

"Are you listening?"

"Hey man, I think we should talk through our problems."

Vek:He looks to Duga "What was this dark side nonsense?"

Dareks:"Helloooo!"

Dareks says tapping on Tyzen's shoulder

Tyzen:"God- AH! SHUT UP!"

Olivar:He looks to the door

Qotaro:He looks over

Duga:"If he wasn't a guest- "

"He might end up dead anyway."

Vedro:"The hell was that?" He said, walking around, having to stop playing for a moment after hearing all of that

Tyzen:Tyzen says standing up swiftly and looking back to Dareks

"Stop talking just keep your mouth shut!"

Dareks:"Hey, kid, I'm an adult, don't you be getting all high voiced with me."

Tyzen:"and I'm a kid who can kick your ass if you don't leave me alone!"

Dareks:"Well, I don't like your attitude."

Tyzen:"..."

"What even are you!? Why are you here?!"

Olivar:"Should we...stop them?"

Tyzen:"Who are you!?"

Vek:"....Maybe."

Dareks:"I'm Dareks, and it's not nice to meet you but how do you do?.. Actually don't answer that, I don't much care for you so I will not care what your response is."

Tyzen:"You're just a fucking dick!"

Duga:"If the man cannot stand up to a child, what good is he?"

Dareks:"Strong language."

Tyzen:Tyzen grabs his lightsaber

Olivar:"Can you just stop being such...such an asshole?" He looks to Duga

Duga:"Am I wrong?"

Olivar:"I kill people and kidnap criminals for a living, and you may not be as bad as those people, you're more of a passive aggressive asshole."

Dareks:"Whoa there son. There is no need to grab a stick."

Olivar:"And the worst part is, I don't think you mean to be!"

Tyzen:"It's not a stick!"

Dareks:"Empty handle."

Duga:"I'd rather be much more aggressive with him, but it isn't in my best interest."

Tyzen:"You're getting on my nerves right now!"

Olivar:He looks to the door again "Why the hell are they talking about sticks?"

Duga:"I-I'm at a loss myself."

Dareks:"And you're on my nerves by just looking at me."

Tyzen:"I wasn't looking at you!"

Dareks:"What are you doing now?"

Tyzen:"You.. No."

Tyzen goes to walk past him however is stopped when Dareks puts his hand in front of him

Dareks:"Where are you going?"

Tyzen:"If you don't move your hand I will cut it off."

Dareks:"With what? That weird broom handle?"

Tyzen:Tyzen has no response, just looking down

Dareks:"Listen, I'm just trying to talk to you."

Tyzen:"Something I don't want to do."

Dareks:"I'm going to count to three and if you don't settle down, I'm giving you a whopping."

(To Duga): "Anger! Hatred!" Voices begin to exit the room, hundreds of small distant voices

(To Vek): "Anger! Hatred!" Voices begin to exit the room, hundreds of small distant voices

Duga:He chuckles darkly

Dareks:"One."

Tyzen:"Move."

Dareks:"Two."

Olivar:"...they've gone really quiet."

Vek:"Alright, we better step in."

Tyzen:"I'm not asking again."

Dareks:"Three, three strikes, that's all you got kid."

Olivar:"Go ahead. I'm not going in first."

Dareks:Attacks! (56)

Vek:He heads in

Tyzen:Defends! (58)

Olivar:He follows suit

Duga:He simply watches from the door

Vedro:He leans in, looking into the room

Tyzen:As they look in, they see Dareks stand just in front of Tyzen with his hand in front of him, stopping him, they then see his opposite hand swing at the child who just barely steps back before jumping up to kick the strange creature

Attacks! (30)

Dareks:Defends! (40)

Olivar:"...what the fuck, man?"

Vek:"Hey!"

Dareks:However similarly they witness Dareks dodge back

He looks back to Vek and Olivar and says

"You see, he attacked me."

Vek:"....Look, no fighting, you two."

Tyzen:"Defence."

Olivar:"E-Excuse me?"

Dareks:"That's right, I was defending myself."

Vek:"I don't give a shit who started it, neither one of you better continue it."

Tyzen:"If he attacks I'm not going to just let him hit me."

Vek:"Block him, dodge him, then come get one of us."

"Same to you." He says to Dareks

Dareks:"I'll just shoot the ugly bastard."

Olivar:"..."

Dareks:With that, he winks at Vek

Duga:"Why not let them settle their issues here and now? Then they should not remain."

Olivar:"Duga, just...stop!"

Dareks:"No, no, I agree with the hairless monkey daddy."

Vek:"Okay, one, no, you won't fucking shoot him."

"B, stop winking at me."

Dareks:"Let us do our fight."

Olivar:"I understand that you think fuckin' violence solves everything, but...man."

Vek:"Look what you've done now, Duga."

Vedro:"You know..."

Olivar:"This is not the time."

Duga:"Did I say violence?"

Vedro:"All I see is two children in the room that can't get along."

Olivar:"It's implied!"

Duga:"All I said was to settle."

Olivar:He just sighs

Vek:"Fine, settle. But I'm stepping in if one of you take it too far."

Dareks:"Alright, let's go!"

Dareks raises a blaster and fires at Tyzen

Shoots! (137)

Vek:"Y-"

Duga:He raises a hand

Vedro:"W-"

Duga Uses Force Choke!

Tyzen:"Vek!"

Olivar:He goes to tackle him

Duga:Uses the Force! (87)

Tyzen:Defends! (103)

Dareks:Does (36) Damage!

Toughs it Out! (115)

Olivar:Attacks! (113)

Dareks:Defends! (38)

Darek isn't paying attention to the group as he's tackled from the side

"Hey!"

Duga:He lowers his hand

Olivar:He starts beating the shit out of him

Does (16) Damage!

Attacks! (136)

Vedro:"Man, this sort of thing always happens."

Dareks:Defends! (65)

Vek:"Vedro, check on Tyzen."

Vedro:"Gotcha."

Olivar:"What part of take it too far didn't you understand?!"

Vedro:He goes to look over Tyzen and examine him

Duga:"Vek, you may wish to inform the other guest that he will not be joining us."

Vek:"...Nah, we can make this work."

"I've kept people on board who've done worse to me, personally."

Duga:"It is your ship."

Tyzen:Tyzen sits in the corner holding his wound from the blaster, Vedro is able to heal him with time, the time it'll take to get to the next planet

Olivar:Attacks! (119)

Dareks:"Hey get off me!"

Defends! (83)

Vek:he walks over and puts a hand on Olivar's shoulder "Ease up."

Vedro:"I can handle this, don't worry.

"It isn't anything I haven't seen before."

Olivar:He looks down at his hand, standing, and then proceeds to lean against a wall

Dareks:With a busted lip, Dareks looks up and says

"He cheated."

Vek:"Who?"

Dareks:"Olivar."

Vek:"How?"

Dareks:"He hit me while I fought with your beast."

Vek:"Shut the fuck up."

"Just...stay down."

"It's better that way."

Vedro:"I'll begin work on Tyzen now. He'll be fine in no time."

Dareks:Dareks stands up right after Vek says this

Vek:He swings

Olivar:He pushes himself off the wall

Dareks:Defends! (91)

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (75)

Dareks:"Who-"

Dareks hops back and comes back with a straight at Vek

"Bad!"

Attacks! (32)

Vek:Defends! (121)

Vedro:"... Alright, this is fucking dumb."

Vek:he puts his hand up

Vedro:"You're gonna hop on this man's ship and start acting like this?"

Tyzen:"See, he just keeps on."

Olivar:He tightens his gloves

"Fight me."

"One on one."

Vedro:"I recommend you settle down right now, before you end up dead."

Olivar:"Fisticuffs."

Vek:"Alright."

"Olivar vs Dareks."

Dareks:"What?"

Vek:"Whoever wins gets the bed, the loser sleeps in here."

Dareks:"..."

Dareks aims at Olivar and fires without any more words

Shoots! (71)

Olivar:Defends! (35)

Vek:he goes to cut his blaster in two

Dareks:Does (40) Damage!

Olivar:He pulls out his lightsaber and also swings

Vek:He turns on his new lightsaber, a yellow core with an orange outer field, going to cut his gun down the middle, and holding the saber out to stop Olivar's blade from connecting

Makes a Dexterity Check! (57)

Dareks:Defends! (36)

Olivar:He is face to face with Dareks, only being held back by the lightsaber

Dareks:Dareks isn't able to do anything as he wasn't expecting Vek to bring out a pushpop

"What the fuck!? You got a lightsaber!?"

Olivar:He headbutts him

Dareks:"Both of you!?"

Olivar:Attacks! (83)

Dareks:Defends! (89)

Dareks is able to back up

"Don't you do this!"

Vek:He turns his saber off, putting it back in his robe, stepping back

Olivar:He looks at Vek, and then looks at Dareks, and then turns off his lightsaber

Duga:He chuckles darkly "Settled, I take it?"

Olivar:He feels his side, wounded from the blaster

"Shut. The. Fuck. Up."

Vedro:"I'll take a look at you, soon, too, Olivar."

Olivar:Makes a Willpower Check! (53)

He bites his tongue for a moment, trying to distract himself from the pain "...Let me fight him."

Vek:he looks to Dareks "You still in? No more funny business?"

Dareks:"You're the ones who are messing with lightsabers."

"You're the funny business ones."

Vek:"S-"

"You pulled a fucking gun out in a fist fight."

"A clearly established fist fight."

Dareks:"He said fist, I said no such things."

Vedro:"Dareks, if I may interrupt."

Vek:"I say fists."

Vedro:"You're a fucking idiot, man."

Vek:"No fists, no bed."

Vedro:"I got a rule."

Olivar:He looks to Vek, practically twitching at this point

Dareks:"But I like my blaster."

Vek:"Liked."

Vedro:"I'll generally try to heal anyone up on this ship, but if you get yourself injured badly due to some dumb decisions, I won't do anything for you unless the captain tells me to to, or you pay me a lot of credits."

Dareks:It's not at this moment that Dareks realizes the gun isn't in tact, he's just holding it in place by habit

"Wha-.."

"No."

"No!"

"My gun!?"

Vek:"Ah man, I wonder how that happened."

"What a shame."

Dareks:"..."

Dareks falls to his knees

Olivar:He's tired of people fainting on him during fisticuffs, and goes to pick him up and put him on his feet

Dareks:Tears run down his face

"Daisy..."

"You killed daisy!"

Vek:"He sure did."

Olivar:"Am I good to go?" He says, not looking to Vek

Dareks:Darkes looks at Vek

".. My baby girl is gone."

Dareks says now sobbing as he holds the two pieces of gun to his chest

Vek:"Well, I don't think he'll be fighting you, Olivar."

Tyzen:Tyzen leaves the room, grunting with the first couple of steps

Olivar:His fists are shaking as he just drops Dareks, starting to pace

Vedro:"Tyzen, you really shouldn't be walking right now." He said, stepping over

Tyzen:"Then what should I be doing?"

Vedro:"Sitting, so I can look over your wounds."

Tyzen:"He already looked them."

Vedro:"I need to treat them, too."

Tyzen:"..."

Tyzen looks between the group before shaking his head and going into the extra bedroom and laying on Vedro's bed

Vedro:"..."

"Olivar, come on. I got to get started on this now."

Dareks:Dareks is now slowly hitting his head against the floor of the storage room

Vedro:"You should be fine by the time we get to Iskalon."

"But I gotta start now."

Olivar:He has his forearms on the wall, as well as his forehead "...yeah...sure..." He slowly pushes himself off, and then slowly walks over to Vedro

Vedro:"Thanks. Let's head to my room to do this, so that's where... Tyzen went."

Vek:he looks at Duga

"Make sure he doesn't do anything fucking stupid."

Duga:"If that's possible."

Vek:He nods, and goes to head out, himself, heading back for his quarters

Olivar:He starts walking to Vedro's room

Vedro:He goes with Olivar, so he can begin treating his and Tyzen's wounds

(From Duga): He approaches Dareks

Isa:As Vek gets back to his room, he sees Isa hold her hands together and say

"I'm sorry about Dareks, he's never really gotten along with anyone."

(To Duga): Dareks looks up to Duga and cries out "What?"

(From Duga): "Are you just going to let them hurt your Daisy like that?"

Vek:"No shit?"

(To Duga): "There isn't anything I can d-d-d-dooooo.... They have l-l-l-l-lights-.. Sabers..." Darek's cries continue

(From Duga): "You're a soldier, no? You're sure to have skills."

(From Duga): "The child started it all, didn't he?"

(To Duga): "Nothing against a saber.."

(To Duga): "Yea, he kept being mean to me.."

Vek:"He shot two of my crew."

Isa:"That.. I haven't known him to shoot anyone.. from our crew before."

Vek:"Including a kid."

(From Duga): "You may not be able to deal with the adults, but that child. he started this all. Why let him get away with it?"

Isa:"I appreciate your help."

Vek:"....Thanks."

Isa:Is looks down and starts tapping her fingers, obviously feeling a little awkward

Isa*

(To Duga): "No.. You're right.. He.. He killed Daisy."

(From Duga): "Then you need to get revenge, right?"

(To Duga): "That child... I will end him."

Vek:he leans against the doorway "So, I heard you had force training, is this true?"

(From Duga): "Good. Use that anger or else, you will die."

(To Duga): Dareks looks back down just long enough to wipe his tears away "What should I do?"

(From Duga): "Wait until there only the two of you. Then no one can interrupt."

PAGE 20: Radnor // END

PAGE 21: Iskalon pt.1 // START

Isa:Isa sits just behind Qotaro as everyone else seems to be in their places with Dareks sitting in the room where he and Duga have been oddly quiet for the past few days, while Tyzen has been noticeably more quiet, and has been attempting to copy some of Duga's movements

Olivar:He's sitting with Ashhera, rocking out

Vek:He's nearby Qotaro and Isa, checking in on Bait and keeping an eye out

Qotaro:"Mmm.... gatcha ba." He said, just piloting

Vedro:He's with Ashhera, still learning the instrument

Ural:Qotaro finds himself piloting the Ural straight for a blockade of ships that sit just before a large halo above the planet that has a strange mostly transparent blue field around it

Olivar:*He begins to rock his way to the cockpit, looking out of the window8

Ashhera:"You're getting it down faster than I thought, Vedro, but this is what I need you to do, not this."

Ashhera continues to teach Vedro an instrument

Olivar:"...well shit..."

Vek:"Damn..."

Olivar:"What's that blue thing?"

Vek:"Nothing good."

B8-G6:"Master, Vek... Do you see this."

Vek:"I sure do."

Vedro:"Alright, alright... I think I get you..."

Qotaro:"Gaaah! Gabba cha! Watcha... no gabba."

Olivar:"...now, how are we going to get through that?"

Isa:"It must be the field that stops ships from entering. Perhaps we should go to the circle over by the ships, maybe it's like a gate."

Olivar:"..."

Vek:"..Bait, R3, any info?"

Duga:He steps from the storage room "I take it we've arrived with all of the commotion you lot make."

Qotaro:"Trash! Quiet, gabba!"

B8-G6:"I'm sorry Master Vek, but I do not recall any fields that can circle entire planets.'

Vek:he nods back to Duga "Running into some difficulties."

"Damn.."

Duga:"Perhaps finding a weak point would suffice. Everything has a weakness."

Olivar:"...at Stormtrooper thought I was a General at some point, that could help talk our way through....but, I don't think Stormtroopers are doing this, it's probably the Purgs themselves."

Vek:"Alright, well, I love the Ural..but I don't think we're going to make it far the aggressive route."

"We're just going to have to play their game."

Olivar:"...could just fuckin speed through the gate. What's the top speed this baby can reach now?" He looks to Qotaro

Vek:"...No."

R3-I7:"Planetary Shield = keeps planets save from ships, blaster plasmas, asteroids and other things // Planetary Shield Weakness = gate ring and shield generators"

Vek:"Way too risky."

Olivar:"We could say we're privateers?"

"Or merchants?"

Vek:"We'll say whatever we have to to get in."

"Ashhera."

Isa:"They are looking for me, I don't think I'll be able to get past them if they're the Purgs."

Marko:Marko looks out the window and back to the group before going back to the extra room with Ashhera and Vedro

"I think they want you."

Vek:"Then we're going to have to keep you hidden."

Ashhera:The Bith stops and looks to Marko

"Say what, friend?"

Vedro:"They want you in there, I think he said."

Isa:"How do you plan to do that? Do you have a secret hatch?"

Vek:"Yea."

he points upward

Qotaro:"... Gaaaah."

Isa:Isa looks up to see a small hole in the ceiling

"Do you think it's safe to be in there with the ship being on?"

"I see a bunch of wiring and.. cables and stuff."

Duga:"Unless they plan to search the ship while we are in space, the ship should be off."

Ashhera:"Oh, well, thank you friend. Vedro, keep doing that, I'll go and see what they're asking for, perhaps we can show that what we've been practicing."

With that Ashhera hops off his box and heads for the crew

Vek:he shrugs "Well, it's that, the garbage chute, or hiding under a bed or something."

Dareks:Dareks walks out of the room and looks at everything that's been happening

"Well, hey there, is that Iskalon?"

He asks pointing at the ships, not even seeing the planet yet

Isa:"That is probably the best hiding place then."

Vedro:He nods and keeps practicing while Ashhera heads off

Isa:"Do you.. Have a ladder?"

Vek:"...No?"

Olivar:"I'll go help her up."

"Just worry about how the hell we're going to get through the blockade and shield."

Isa:"Oh, thank you, Olivar."

Isa says with a smile, standing under the hole, awaiting to be picked up

Ashhera:The Bith walks up and asks

"The fish guy said you wanted me?"

Olivar:He picks her up "Watch out for the wires."

Vek:he nods, turning towards Ashhera "Yea, tell us what you can about the process of getting to the gate."

Ashhera:"Oh, are we here already?.. Guess I'll have to rush my teachings with Vedro."

He says looking down before sighing and looking back up

"After we get to the gate, the purgs will ask you what your business is, and if it isn't apart of the list they'll turn you away. If it is, they'll search your ship."

"If they find anything that they deem illegal, they'll either take it or send you on your way."

"If your reason is on a list and the ship is clean, they'll store or ship on one of their carriers, and have up to eight people, no droids, I remember that part very much as it was one of the things that bothered N.R."

"But anyways, they'll let up to eight people take a cart ship down to the planet to conduct whatever business they need."

Vek:"..And at what point did you guys all get killed?"

Ashhera:"Just before we got on the cart ship."

"N.R. started a fight with one of the Purgs which forced us to make a run for it."

Vek:"Great. What reason let you in that far?"

Ashhera:"Or be killed."

"Uh.."

"One second>"

"I think they said they needed to talk to Cyler, something about him having a special package?"

Isa:Finally crawling in the repair spot, Isa looks back down and says

"Cyler's still alive?"

Olivar:He looks up "...who's Cyler?"

Ashhera:"I think that's the name they said."

Isa:"He was my mother's best friend."

"He was one of the people that was teaching Hanz and I in the force."

Vek:"Great."

"It's settled."

Ashhera:"It is?"

Vek:"Yea."

Olivar:"Yes."

Duga:He nods

Dareks:".. I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused."

Vek:"That's okay."

Dareks:"What's settled?"

Vek:"Just keep your mouth shut."

Dareks:"Well.. How rude."

Tyzen:Tyzen walks in and asks

"Why is everyone sitting around the cockpit?"

Vek:"We're here."

Olivar:He points out the window

Tyzen:"Iskalon?"

Olivar:"Yup."

Tyzen:Tyzen says as he stands on his tipy toes looking out

"Cool."

"What are we doing here again?"

Vek:"I don't really know."

"But we're going through a lot of trouble to do it."

Tyzen:"Alright."

Duga:"This is where we find answers."

Dareks:"To what?"

Duga:He doesn't respond

Tyzen:"If only eight of us can go.. Who all is going, Vek?"

"Four of us will have to stay here."

Vek:"Duga, Olivar, and me for certain."

"Speaking of."

"Everyone, give me your lightsabers."

Duga:He raises an eyebrow

Tyzen:"Even me?"

Vek:"Yea. Everyone."

Duga:"The reason?"

Tyzen:Tyzen hands it over, unlike Duga, he doesn't question it

Vek:He hold sit, and puts it and his in a little bag, holding his hand out for Olivar and Duga "What do you think is going to happen if they check us and find lightsabers?"

Duga:"And what's to stop them from checking your bag?"

Vek:"Oh, I'm not keeping this bag."

"Qotaro is."

Qotaro:"Gatcha!"

Duga:His saber floats over

Olivar:He hands Vek his saber lightsaber like a normal person

• both

Vek:He makes sure they both get in the back, and slips the bag onto Qotaro through his hood "Keep that hidden, Q."

Qotaro:he nods, "Gatcha!"

B8-G6:"Master Vek, we are approaching the fleet, should we turn around or continue?"

Vek:"....If they turn us away, then we'll turn around. For now, we're just going to get through this."

Marko:Marko exits the extra room and walks over

"Do you still wish for me to stay on the ship, Captain?"

Dareks:Dareks gives Duga a slap on the back

"Let's get ready for war, gentlemen!"

It's not until this moment that they notice he has put his helmet back on

Olivar:"NO!"

Vek:"Yes, stay on the ship, and, Dareks..."

"I'm not going to tell you again."

"Keep your goddamned mouth shut."

Dareks:"Yes, captain of this ship!"

Dareks gives Vek a salute

Vek:"Starting right now."

"Not another peep."

Tyzen:"What about me? Am I staying on the ship or going?"

Vek:"We don't even know if they're going to let us in, yet, ease up."

"Qotaro or Vedro will be coming, too..but only one of them, one has to stay behind and watch the ship."

"Aside from that, Ashhera has personal business here, too."

Qotaro:"Hmm... gabba cha..."

Unknown:Suddenly a voice echoes through the ship from the cockpit as a man calls out

"We see you are enclosing on Iskalon, state your business here."

calls out from the radio

Vek:he coughs and steps up "We're here to meet with Cyler."

Unknown:"Why?"

Vek:"We have..something in our possession that would be of great interest."

Unknown:"What's the number?"

Duga:He looks to the Bith

Ashhera:Ashhera is staring ahead at the ships through the window

Vek:"One moment, please." He covers the radio up with his hand "Ashhera, numbers."

Ashhera:The Bitch looks to Vek and shrugs

"I don't recall anything about numbers?"

Unknown:"Numbers?"

"What is your passage numbers?"

Vek:he coughs

"0-0-5-7-3-7 5-4-2-3."

Unknown:A few moments of silence passes

Olivar:He looks around

Vek:"..If we were misinformed, I apologize..if you could specify a bit more clearly what you require, I am sure my secretary has kept track of what we need."

Unknown:As Vek goes to respond, he is interrupted

"Alright, we're lowering the deflector shield to allow you to board."

Olivar:He looks bewildered

Vek:"Ah..very well, then." He goes to cut the radio off, as he isntructs Qotaro and Bait, either or, to move forward

Qotaro:"Gatcha ga." He said, as he leaned forward, and went to move them forward

Stormtrooper:It takes little to no time for the Ural to board the ship, and the crew could be surprised to find that instead of a bunch of cyborgs greeting their ship, they find the star ship to be full of stormtroopers

Vek:He keeps his hands behind his back, standing in a posture unusual for him

Olivar:He also tries to stand very stately

Duga:He stands as he normally does

Stormtrooper:Just after they land they hear a knocking at the ramp

Qotaro:He looks over, blinking, "Gatcha ba."

Vedro:He walks up with them and just stands there, watching

Vek:"Let them in."

Qotaro:"Gabba!" He goes to open the ramp

Stormtrooper:As the ramp lowers a group of five troopers walk aboard and the one that seems to be leading them looks at the crew before asking

"Name."

Vek:"Ural."

Stormtrooper:"Captain?"

Vek:he steps forward a bit "Vek."

Stormtrooper:The trooper looks at Dareks and asks

"Number."

Dareks:Dareks looks to Vek

Vek:He nods

Dareks:"B.N.406."

Stormtrooper:"... Name your reason for being on this ship."

Dareks:"Transportaion."

Stormtrooper:"..."

The trooper looks at Dareks and back to Vek

"What's your business with Cyler?"

Vek:"We are transporting something very important for him."

Stormtrooper:"Very well, step outside the ship and don't move until further notice."

"B.N.4.0.6. You may leave your report with the commander."

Dareks:He gives him a salute and quickly leaves their sight

Vek:He nods and complies

Qotaro:He goes to step off as well

Duga:He makes his way out

Vedro:He goes to walk off with them

Marko:Marko, Tyzen, Jalj, and the droids follow them off

Stormtrooper:As they all step outside the ship, they hear some rumbling from inside followed by a small grunt and a silent scream before four of the troopers step off and the leader looks to the group

"Alright.. You're all clear."

"Only eight of you may go to the planet, the rest of your crew must stay here, no droids."

The four troopers stand next to the ship and stare at the crew

"You may go back on your ship."

Vek:He nods and goes back in, pondering who will be going

Duga:He follows, looking for the cause of the scream

Vedro:He walks back on with them

Qotaro:"Watcha ba." He heads in

Ashhera:As they reenter the ship, they find Ashhera still sitting on his box

"Hey friends."

Vek:"...What happened, Ashhera?"

Stormtrooper:They also find a stormtrooper standing next to the storage door as Duga seems to have trouble finding this source of the sounds

Duga:He eyes the Stormtrooper before going to enter the storage room

Ashhera:"Well, they walked on.. Looked around, one of the troopers looked in that hole in the ceiling but just before he could get a good view inside he feel and then they just left."

Stormtrooper:The trooper stands at attention as Duga walks past him

Duga:He goes to grab some rations, coming back out with some jerky

Stormtrooper:The trooper is still standing at attention

Duga:"Why so stiff?"

Stormtrooper:He looks to Duga and sniffs

Duga:He raises an eyebrow

Olivar:He looks to Duga, sternly

Duga:He turns back to the party "Let's move on."

Stormtrooper:"I agree, move on."

Vek:"...."

He looks to the others "So, who all shall be coming down?"

Duga:He looks back to the stormtrooper then Vek

Marko:Marko stands across from the Stormtrooper, standing at attention like himself and giving him a stare down

Tyzen:"I can join you."

Vek:"Patience, Tyzen."

Olivar:"I'll come."

Vek:he nods "You and Duga will be coming."

"Ashhera, as well."

"Th at makes four of us."

Olivar:he looks to Qotaro

Qotaro:"Watcha ba."

Vek:He looks between Olivar and Duga, and the stormtrooper

Stormtrooper:"What?"

The trooper asks looking at Marko

Olivar:He looks at Vek "..."

Marko:"...."

Vek:"There a problem, Marko?"

Stormtrooper:"Stop giving me that fish eye, Marko."

Marko:"I don't like you."

Vek:He looks to Duga

"I think you can handle this one."

Stormtrooper:"I don't like me either, kid. I don't like me either."

Marko:"..."

Duga:"Al- what?"

He turns to the stormtrooper "I think you might have some issues to work out."

Stormtrooper:"With myself."

"I know."

Olivar:"...well damn..."

Marko:Marko looks to Vek

"Still do it?"

Duga:"How unfortunate." He holds up his hand

Olivar:He holds his hand up

"Yes. Unfortunate."

Duga:He stops

He looks from Olivar to Vek

Vek:He shrugs

Duga:He readjusts his robes "And here I thought I had it handled."

Olivar:He shakes his head, sighing, putting down his hand "...no..no, you're right."

Duga:He holds out his hand again

Duga Uses Force Choke!

Duga:Uses the Force! (89)

Marko:Toughs it Out! (100)

Stormtrooper:Toughs it Out! (97)

The trooper scratches his neck and coughs

Duga:He looks at his hand, defeated

"Every...time..."

He sighs and just flicks his hand

Chip:Chip looks down at Qotaro

"Mission?"

Duga:"Apparently it is not handled. "

Qotaro:"Gabba cha. No watcha." He says, just watching, to see how things go for the moment

Vek:He walks up to the stormtrooper

"How much do they pay you?"

"I've been thinking of joining up, myself."

Stormtrooper:"Not enough."

Vek:"Yea?"

"What all do you even do?"

Stormtrooper:"Anything we're told."

"From imprisoning, to murder, to just standing around."

Vek:"How does that make you feel?"

Stormtrooper:"I heard J.R.1.9.2. was told to jerk off on someone. How does it make me feel?

"It makes me feel like shit."

"That's how."

Vek:"Yea."

Stormtrooper:"It's aweful."

Vek:"That sounds like some fucking shit."

"That's disgusting."

"Why do you keep doing it?"

Stormtrooper:"Reasons keep changing, right now it's to make sure I can go home to my family in a couple of weeks."

"I haven't seen my daughter or wife in months."

Vek:"Where are you from?"

Stormtrooper:"The core."

"Duro."

Vek:"Damn, they sure got you out far."

Stormtrooper:"Yea.. No offense but the other rim fucking sucks."

Vek:"Yea, I know."

"You ever been to Radnor?"

Stormtrooper:"God.. I'm not supposed to be talking to you, especially about all of this but.. It just helps to get it off my chest."

"Radnor?"

"No, but C.O.2.2.3. is from there."

Vek:"Yea? Well, there ain't shit on Radnor."

"Barely worth the fuel."

Stormtrooper:"Maybe that's why he joined, he always talked about wanting excitement and adventure."

Vek:"And how'd that work out for him?"

Stormtrooper:"Last time I heard he was recovering from an explosion."

"Guess he got the excitement."

Vek:He shakes his head

"Sounds to me like you guys keep getting the shit end of the stick."

Stormtrooper:"Shit pay, can only go home after being out for six months, risk our life, have to do what we're told, yea.. Not a good job."

"I don't recommend joining."

Vek:"Yea, the more I think about it, the worse it gets."

"You know, I was friends with a stormtrooper, back on Orvax.. Nice guy, just trying to do the right thing."

Stormtrooper:"I knew a guy on Orvax."

"He wound up dead not too long ago."

Vek:"What's his name?"

Stormtrooper:"Along with several of his partners."

"Lurk."

Vek:"This is starting to sound like the same story."

"Ah, Lurk?"

"Yea, man, we were close."

"Him and Durk had a spat."

"A falling out."

"I think Lurk fucked everyone's mom or something."

Stormtrooper:"Was it about Durk fucking his sister?"

Vek:"Nah, nah."

Stormtrooper:"Everyone but Lurk seemed to know."

Vek:"Anyway, this guy, Uji.."

Stormtrooper:"Who?"

Vek:"Big time slave broker."

Stormtrooper:"What about him?"

Vek:"He lured them all into a trap."

Stormtrooper:"He did?"

Vek:"Brought squads on either side of the store, had them convinced some criminals were opposite, they just blasted into each other."

"Durk and Lurk got hit in the crossfire, I hear."

Stormtrooper:"You seemed to have heard a lot."

Vek:"Hey man, when I heard the news.."

"It broke my heart."

"I had to find out more."

Stormtrooper:"Yea, well.. Lurk was a piece of shit so I didn't care. Actually I was almost happy he died."

Vek:He reluctantly nods

Stormtrooper:"What was the point in telling me all of this?"

Vek:"I think there's something in the storage room."

Stormtrooper:".. What?"

Vek:"Didn't you hear that?"

"Banging around?"

"Just now?"

Stormtrooper:"No?"

Vek:"Ahh..ah fuck.."

"I wonder if one of those Huaps got on board.."

Duga:He chuckles "Now that would be an issue."

Stormtrooper:"hu- what is that?"

Vek:"Oh, they're nasty old things."

"Gnarling teeth, claws that'll dig right in ya."

"Jaquas breed them."

Stormtrooper:"Those god damn jaquas!"

Olivar:He shivers "God damn Huaps..."

"God damn Jaquas!"

Stormtrooper:"I hate those dirty bastards!"

Vek:"Me too!"

Olivar:"Same here!"

Vek:"They turned Tatooine into a shithole!"

Olivar:"Fuckin' horrible."

Stormtrooper:The stormtrooper, filled with rage at the name Jaqua, turns to the door and opens it, aiming his blaster into the room

"Come on you piece of Huap Jaqua shit!"

Olivar:He quickly closes the dor

• door

Vek:"Fuck!"

Olivar:"What are you, fuckin' crazy?!"

Stormtrooper:He looks to Olivar

"What?"

Olivar:He starts looking around "Shit, do you think it got out?!"

Vek:"Look, Huaps.."

"They can use the force."

Stormtrooper:"..."

The trooper drops his gun and brings out a knife

"The hell they can!"

Vek:"Look, dude, if you want to fight that thing..I won't stop you."

"But we're not keeping this door open."

"It might cloak and slip past you."

Olivar:He shows a mark in his armor "You see this?"

Stormtrooper:The trooper stares at the mark

Olivar:"This is what that fucker did to me."

Vek:"With his own two feet, no less."

Stormtrooper:"My god!"

Duga:"True monsters."

Stormtrooper:The trooper takes off his helmet and tosses it on the ground

"It blocks my vision to much to fight a Huap!"

Olivar:"Your eyes block your vision too much to fight a Huap..."

Stormtrooper:"Like hell they do!"

Vek:"I saw this one guy fight fight a huap.."

"He blindfolded himself..he relied on his scent and his hearing."

Vedro:"Hey, by the way, I'm a doctor."

"Huaps are known to generate a lot of heat."

"You keep that armor on, it can weld your skin into your armor."

Stormtrooper:"... My god!"

Olivar:"It's true! He is a doctor!"

Vedro:"It's my medical opinion that you strip it off, immediately."

Stormtrooper:The trooper stripes down to his skippies and says

"That blindfolded man was a fucking retard!"

Olivar:"A-Are you sure you wanna go through with this?"

Duga:"I admire your bravery."

Vek:he chuckles "Yea? Last I heard he had three Huap skulls, but, go on, you know best."

Olivar:he furrows his brow, unseen to all

Stormtrooper:"No.."

Olivar Uses Telepathy!

Olivar:Olivar puts on his best whispy and spooky voice "Huap smells...challenger..."

"Huap smells...prey"

Koek:The trooper looks to the door and back to Vek

"I hear it!"

Vek:"Really?"

"I didn't hear anything.."

Koek:"Gentlemen... If I don't come back.. My name is Rugraod Koek."

Vek:"It must be..."

"Challenging you."

"We'll tell your family that you died fighting the scourge of the world."

Koek:"Ch- Chall- I'll show this spawn of filthy Jaquas!"

Vek:"An honorable death, instead of a slummy death average of the trooper."

(From Duga): He makes the force pull on Koeks head a bit toward the storage room

Koek:"Thank you. Please, tell them that in the end.. I was thinking of them, especially my baby girl."

Koek looks to Olivar and nods as he holds out his knife

Olivar:He salutes

Koek:"You want me so bad!"

"Come and get me!"

Olivar:He opens the door "God's speed..."

(From Duga): He goes to make Koek be pulled bodily into the room

Koek:Koek runs into the storage room, roaring as he runs in, knife in hand

"Rhaugh!"

Olivar:He closes the door "GOD'S SPEED!"

He looks to Vek "Okay, what the fuck did we just accomplish?" He whispers

Vedro:He chuckles a bit, "Some funny shit..." He says, quitely

Vek:"I don't fucking know, man."

Vedro:quietly*

Duga:He whispers "Lock the door."

Olivar:He locks the door, slowly

"...what now?"

Vek:he runs over to the secret hatch, knocking on it, as he whispers "Hey! Come out!"

Duga:He goes to put the armor away

and blaster*

Olivar:"...do we just...leave him in there?"

Isa:Isa peeks out from the hole and looks around

"What was all the talking?"

Vek:"Look, we don't have a lot of time."

"We have to get you disguised."

Olivar:"...in the...armor?"

Vek:"No, no."

"They'll ask too many questions."

Olivar:"...okay, then what?"

Koek:From the storage room they hear a muffled scream as a thud appears

Olivar:"..."

Vedro:"..."

"Uh..."

Koek:A few seconds later they hear a knock followed by a muffled Koek

"Damn it.. You tricked me didn't you?"

Olivar:"Wait..." He says aloud

"I-It isn't in there?"

Koek:"No.. There's just a dead guy."

Olivar:"DEAR GOD!"

Vedro:"... Oh, sh-... Wait, what?"

Vek:He starts knocking things around "AH!"

Olivar:"OH GOD, WE'RE ALL DEAD!"

Koek:"What!?"

Vedro:"Uh... oh, yea, right, that..."

Olivar:He starts hitting the wall every now and then

Koek:"Oh.. Son of a bitch, I wasn't fast enough!"

Vedro:"START LOOTING, BOYS!"

Koek:"I'll tell your stories once I get off!"

Vedro:"I WANT THAT-- NO!"

"NO! GET AWAY!"

Duga:He clanks things against the wall with the Force, chuckling quietly

Vek:"You can't leave that room!"

Vedro:He jumps against the wall, like he had been hit into it

Vek:"It's everywhere!"

Vedro:"Oh my god!"

"Everywhere! Blood, guts, everything!"

"It's ravenous!"

Olivar:He starts hitting a pole against the wall

"I-IT'S IMPERVIOUS!"

Qotaro:"BEEEEETTCH!"

Duga:Wilhelm scream

Koek:They hear sobbing from the room as Koek goes quiet

Vek:He quiets down

Olivar:He begins a scream, but it gets cut short

Duga:He makes clunking sounds like large footsteps as with something

Olivar:He looks for a grate, and drags the same metal pole across it

Vek:"Alright..we're just going to have to hope they don't look too far into another person with a hood on. We got many already."

"Qotaro."

Vedro:"Here, if this helps." He takes his scarf off, "Wrap this around your face, like a keffiyeh."

Qotaro:"Batcha!"

He gets up and walks over

Isa:Isa jumps down and takes the scarf

"Thank you."

Duga:He keeps the noise up to cover their noises and talking

Vek:"You can give those back, now."

Qotaro:He nods, "Yea, yea." He goes to give them their lightsabers back

Vedro:"No problem."

Isa:After wrapping it around her face she looks between the members of the group

Ashhera:Ashhera looks out of the extra room

"Huh.."

"All of that gave me an idea for a song."

Vek:He sticks it in his robe "Well hush up for now."

"Qotaro, Marko, you two are staying here."

Qotaro:He nods, "Batcha, batcha."

Marko:Marko nods and leans against the wall directly across form the storage door

from*

Ashhera:"So are we heading out yet?"

Vek:"Actually.."

"Qotaro, are you fine by yourself?"

Chip:Chip stands next to him

"Roger! Roger!"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks around after grabbing his saber

"I don't know what happened with that stormtrooper but let's go."

Vek:"Alright, Marko, you're with us."

Marko:Marko pushes himself off the wall and nods with a smile

"Thank you, captain."

Qotaro:He nods, "Yea. I'm good."

Vedro:He stands and stretches, ready to head out

Vek:He nods, and goes to step out with the other 7

Stormtrooper:As they walk out they find the other four troopers waiting on them, the leader looks over to them and asks

"Are you ready?"

Vedro:He has his hands in his pockets, ready to go

Duga:He hands are in the arms of his robes

Vek:"Yes."

Stormtrooper:"Alright, follow us."

The troopers turn around and start walking

Vek:He goes to follow

Vedro:He heads in with them

Stormtrooper:The group are led through the ship for a good walk before finally getting to a cable car type of ship where the leader of the troopers gets on while the others stay off and watch the group

"Alright, let's go."

Olivar:He follows

Vedro:He gets on with them

Duga:He's on

Vek:He as well

Stormtrooper:With everyone getting on the small transport ship, the trooper presses a button that starts the ship and they start off

The trooper nods and looks to the group

"Any of you been here before?"

Duga:He shakes his head

Vek:"Can't say I have."

Stormtrooper:"It's a pretty place."

Vek:"That's nice.."

Olivar:"What's the flora and fauna like?"

Stormtrooper:"The what what?"

Isa:Isa is making sure to hide her face with the scarf and hood as she looks out the windows that surround the ship

Vedro:"No, I can't say I've ever been here..."

Olivar:"...nevermind."

Stormtrooper:"If you don't look at any of the towns, I think you'll like it."

"But recently some of the towns have been rioting and giving us some trouble."

"We managed to settle down one town and another.. Well, we just bombed, but it stopped the problem."

Vedro:"Well, that sucks. How long do you think it'll take to get it all settled?"

Stormtrooper:"Don't know."

"I'm just kind of here to make sure everything at the palace is safe."

"The Purgs are the ones who are dealing with the politics."

"Which is really weird."

"Usually it's the other way around."

"We deal with the politics and the people while the Purgs just tear shit up and look mean."

Stormtrooper:"But Iskalon is in Purgspace, so.. What can you do?"

Vedro:"I don't know, man. I don't really have an answer for that one."

Vek:He just nods along

Stormtrooper:"Neither do I.'

"Honestly, I fucking hate the Purgs."

"But I just do as I'm told."

The trooper looks over to Tyzen and then to Duga and back to Tyzen

"Any uh.. Don't mean to be racist but.. Any relation?"

Tyzen:"No."

Tyzen says with a snap as he looks away quickly

Stormtrooper:"Alright."

The trooper looks over to Olivar and asks

"That's some cool armor, where did you get it?"

Olivar:"It's all from different places, really. Some of it I found. This coat? I just bought on some random planet..."

Stormtrooper:"Alright."

The trooper sits back and thinks before he begins to hum

After a few seconds, the trooper looks back to the group and says

"Yea.. Sorry, this ride takes long."

Duga:"Why do you and yours continue to work for those you hate so much?"

Stormtrooper:"Oh, well, I don't hate the people I work for, I just hate the Purgs."

"As for why I haven't found a new job, one that I like more... Well, they don't tell you when you sign up but it's a life job."

"After your first mission, they shoot a chip into your spine and if you ever try to leave they kill you after they make you watch as they kill the people you're the closes to."

"The only way out is death or retirement."

"Most don't make it to retirement."

Vedro:"Is it possible to surgically remove these chips?"

Stormtrooper:"Maybe, but something about if the sensor feels it is detached, it'll go boom. Never tried it, don't want to take the risk."

Vedro:"Huh... alright, interesting. Thanks for the insight."

Stormtrooper:"They have a remote to turn the chips off, but that's held by someone much higher than me."

Duga:"They can only use it if they know you're going to strike."

Stormtrooper:"No problemo, lizardo."

".. Sorry if that was racist."

Vedro:"It's cool, no worse than anything else I've heard."

Stormtrooper:"Say what?"

The trooper says after thinking about what Duga said as he looks back to him

Duga:"They can only kill you if they know you are rebelling. Disabling the chips is the first step before you attack."

"Or escape."

Stormtrooper:"... I mean, I don't think that's true, Maullio, but you can test the theory if you want."

Duga:"It is not my issue to face."

Stormtrooper:"Are you sure/"

Duga:"As sure as I can be."

Stormtrooper:"We can make it your issue."

Vek:He goes to step between them "Please, don't mind him."

"He's a little..different."

Stormtrooper:"He looks like it."

"... Ah.. shit, I'm sorry, I hope that wasn't racist."

Vek:"I think it was."

Vedro:"Alright, stop with the racist shit."

"no one gives a goddamn."

Stormtrooper:".."

The trooper looks to Vedro

"I do."

Vedro:"Why?"

Stormtrooper:".. You'll see."

Vedro:"No, that's bullshit. I wanna know now."

Stormtrooper:"Trust me."

The trooper looks to Duga

"I am sorry."

Vedro:"... Man, come on."

Duga:He waves a hand "There is no qualm here."

Stormtrooper:The trooper nods and looks back to the planet as they are steadily getting there

"No qualm here."

It takes just a few more minutes before they finally arrive on the planet as the door slides open and the trooper waves his hand for them to exit

"Go on, just don't do anything that will get you in trouble."

Vedro:"Does that include being a racist?"

Stormtrooper:"Nope, that's just a personal thing."

Vedro:"Alright. But then why will I see?"

Stormtrooper:"Trust me.. When you start talking to some of the other people, especially at the palace.. Just.. Fuck the Purgs, man."

"Fuck the Purgs."

Vedro:"Alright, I guess I'll see what you mean then. Good luck out there."

Stormtrooper:With that he shuts the door and rides back off the ship

Olivar:"...what now?"

Duga:He looks to Isa

Isa:She looks around and looks back to the group before lowering the scarf

"Thank you all for helping me here."

Ashhera:"And I thank you all for helping me here, too."

Vek:"What are you trying to do here, anyway?" He says to Isa, knowing Ashhera is on a quest for the truth and redemption, most honorable

Ashhera:"However I believe this is when we separate. I must go and find Jaimrap."

Vedro:"It's no problem, man."

Vek:"Are you sure you wish to go alone?"

Vedro:"Oh, man... well, I wish you the best of luck, if you're going alone."

Ashhera:"Vedro. I have left my box of music and mysteries on the ship.. You may keep it to do what you wish."

Vedro:"Well shit, man... good luck, then. I hope we meet again."

Ashhera:"Thank you all."

The Bith turns and starts on his way down the path of fatherness

Vek:"Hey, Ashhera."

Ashhera:He stops and looks back

"Yes, captain friend?"

Vek:"Make sure you teach that boy right."

Ashhera:"I will do my best."

Isa:"You all my go your own path as well, you have helped me plenty."

Vek:"Nu uh."

Isa:"Oh, you will continue to aid me?"

Vek:"You were our whole reason for coming here."

Olivar:"We kinda don't know what we're doing."

Isa:"I am here to help my people and regain my home."

Vek:"Ah, why didn't you just say so."

"That sounds like a cakewalk."

Duga:"Just slaughter the right enemies and discredit the others."

Isa:"Maybe for you, however I don't think it will be so easy for me."

Vek:"...."

Isa:"The last time I was here, people tried to killed me."

Vek:"People try to kill me everywhere I go."

Olivar:"...I mean, I'm just trying to avoid that."

Vek:"Either way.. what's the plan, then, Princess?"

Isa:"I was going to head to the palace and find out what's happening."

Vek:"..Okay, maybe we should start smaller."

"That seems like a not good idea."

Isa:"The plan was originally just going to be me so... It was going to be more sneaking around but that might be hard with eight people."

"So if you guys plan on joining me, then yea, it may not be the best place to start."

Duga:"How might you meet your uncle without having to sneak into the palace?"

contact*

Isa:"I don't know.. He lived in the town just outside the palace."

"Maybe we can go to his house and wait.. But that was also before everything happened, he may live in the palace now."

Vek:"Worth checking out."

Isa:"Well.. It's..."

"Uhm.."

"I don't know where we are."

Vek:"...Okay."

"Just..."

He ponders for a moment

Unknown:Suddenly, from a pole with a button on it, they hear

"Come here."

Olivar:"Excuse me?"

Vek:He walks to the pole, holding his hand out for the others to stay back

Unknown:"Press me."

Vedro:He looks over there, blinking and watching

(From Duga): He presses the button with the Force

Unknown:"Thank you."

Vek is able to see the button get pressed in before slowly releasing

Vek:"What...."

Olivar:"...I feel...violated?"

Duga:"Hm.."

Tyzen:"Huh..."

Vek:"What the fuck..."

Tyzen:"What do you think it's for?"

Vek:"The hell is this?"

Marko:Marko looks around, keeping his head in place

Isa:"That's one of the taxi buttons."

Olivar:"That's fucked, man."

Isa:"What?"

Isa asks, looking to Olivar

Olivar:"It's...creepy."

Isa:"I admit, when I was here they didn't just press themselves."

Tyzen:"Hey, look."

Tyzen says after a few seconds passes, pointing at a speeder running down the path towards them

"Do you think that's what it was for?"

Olivar:"...for us, probably."

Isa:"That does look like one of the taxi speeders."

Olivar:He looks around "I don't know what he was talking about, I don't see any riot-ness."

Vek:"Let's...uh...I don't like this."

Unknown:By the time Vek finishes his statement, the speeder arrives in front of them as a man in a brown coat stands up and looks at them

Hayden:With a rough and scratchy voice, he says

"Who are you?"

Vek:"...Who are you?"

Hayden:"I am Hayden. Erickson Hayden. I am the law on this planet, a law that you've broke."

"Now what are your numbers?"

Olivar:"...what do you mean the law?"

"Are you like...a cop?"

Hayden:Hayden points to the badge on his coat

Olivar:He squints at it

(To Duga): "Have the boy fight him."

Olivar:He proceeds to stand back up in a stately manner "Well, one in such an office as yours would surely know that we were coming."

(To Vek): "Careful. Trouble."

Hayden:"I should, however the troopers are too stupid to follow simple directions."

"I will not ask you again, what are your numbers."

Vek:"0-0-5-7-3-7 5-4-2-3."

Olivar:He scoffs, looking offended

Hayden:"... You're outsiders?"

(From Duga): He falls back to the back of the group with Tyzen, patting him on the shoulder and whispers: "He is the first obstacle on your path to revenge against the Leats. The first test. Will you let this be where we are stopped?"

Vek:"Correct."

Hayden:"Very well, what is you business?"

Vek:"We seek the one known as Cyler."

(To Duga): "What? What does he have to do with Leats?"

(From Duga): "If we are stopped here, how are you to reach your vengeance? "

(To Vek): "Vengeance, kill, justice!" Vek is able to hear these come from the back of the group

(To Duga): "But.. He isn't stopping us?"

Hayden:"Cyler?"

Vek:He looks back at Tyzen, and gives him the look

Hayden:"Do you have his package?"

"He's been waiting on it for months."

Vek:"Yea. There were a few..delays getting it here."

(To Vek): Vek is able to see Duga whispering to the boy as he looked back

Vek:The look intensifies

He gives it to Duga, too

Duga:He's looking at Hayden

Hayden:"Why did it take all of you to get it here/"

Vek:"Things are getting crazier and crazier out there every day."

Olivar:"What's with the interrogation? We've traveled many-a planets, why wouldn't take such a trust worthy true to keep it safe?"

Hayden:"Fine. Get in."

The beastly man says as he hopes down from the car like speeder

Olivar:*crew

(From Duga): "Simply, be prepared."

Vek:He goes to get in

• omit

He helps everyone else get in, first

(To Duga): "Alright."

Tyzen:Tyzen and Marko hop in the speeder

Duga:He's in

Olivar:He walks onto the speeder

Hayden:"I don't know. It's not my package."

Hayden presses some buttons in the speeder before it takes off, as he watches them go, he raises his arm and says something

Tyzen:After a few minutes of riding along, Tyzen points at a small village that is slowly coming into view in the distance

"Is that where we're going?"

Vek:"Probably."

Isa:As they get closer, the group of seven are able to see that the village isn't in good shape, some of the buildings falling apart, one appears to be on fire, blaster holes fill a couple of homes and the village may have has a wall at one point as crumbled stones surround the village

"Oh, my."

Olivar:He watches the buildings roll by

Vek:He is reminded of the atrocities at the hands of the Jaqua scourge, as he shakes his head "This just isn't right.."

Unknown:As a build's remains roll by them, the taxi stops and a voice says

"You have arrived at your destination. Get out or be fined."

Vek:He complies, stepping out, and looking around

Duga:He's out shortly after

Olivar:He hops out "Hm."

Vedro:He steps out and stretches a bit, looking around

Isa:Marko and Isa hop out without a second thought and look around

"Is this where Cyler lives now?"

Vek:"Seems likely, considering what we have to go off of."

Tyzen:With everyone getting off, Tyzen hops out of the taxi just before it takes off, leaving them in the village. As they look around, they finally notice some of the houses have bars on the windows and doors, the village has a smell of feces and smoke while moans of sadness and pain fill the streets of the little village.

"This doesn't seem to be that happy of a place, Isa."

Isa:"It has changed a lot."

Tyzen:"How long have you been away?"

Isa:"Too long>"

Vek:He shakes his head and looks to the others "Let's not spend any more time here than we have to."

Olivar:He looks around, shakes his head, and then nods

Duga:He simply looks around quietly

Isa:She says while walking up to one of the houses with bars and peering inside. What she sees inside makes her stomach twirl as her people have been enslaved and have been mostly left to rot, with the exception of a daily feeding, the reason she knows it's daily, or at least that they're being fed is because it is happening now. On the other side of the house she looks into, with all of the walls aside from the outside walls being taken down, she sees a trooper throwing a bucket of slop into the cage, not caring when it spills, forcing the slaves to eat off the ground. As she watches this her face turns red with anger under the scarf.

Stormtrooper:As the trooper walks around the house, he sees the group of people and stops, going for his blaster

Olivar:He's still just looking around, going to let Vek take care of the diplomacy, feeling this is just unnecessary

Duga:He simply watches

Vek:He steps forward, and calls out "Hold your fire!" in a stern manner

Stormtrooper:After grabbing his blaster and pointing it at Duga, the trooper redirects his aim to Vek when he talks and stops for a moment thinking as he looks to the group

"Don't move! Don't you move!"

Vek:"Do you have any idea who you're talking to?"

Stormtrooper:"No!"

"Do you?!"

Vek:"Put that damn blaster down or you'll be on the other side of those bars, trooper."

Stormtrooper:"Wh-.. What?"

Duga:"Or the atmosphere." He mutters.

Vek:"We're here on very important business."

Stormtrooper:"B-.. Business?"

Olivar:He nods

Vek:"Yes! And it would be very unwise to make this business your own, if you know what's good for you."

Stormtrooper:The trooper begins to lower his gun but only just enough to where it's not aimed at Vek

"What's your business here?"

Vek:"We seek a specific individual. If you help us locate them, I might reconsider reporting you to your superiors."

Charms! (92)

Stormtrooper:Perceives! (129)

"..."

The trooper reaims his gun

"I asked what your business here is."

The trooper says with a new found sense of confidence

(From Duga): 2

Duga:He sneers at the man, simply staying silent and awaiting Vek's response

Vek:He frowns, although this is not visible, as he shakes his head "We are here for the one known as Cyler. I suggest you take us to him."

Stormtrooper:"Cyler?.. He's not here at the moment."

The trooper says with complete lack of worry

Vek:"Then where is he?"

Stormtrooper:"At Iskalon palace."

(From Duga): 2

Vek:"Thank you."

"But, you were horribly rude."

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Olivar:He looks to the trooper "...are these slaves or prisoners of war?"

Stormtrooper:"Wha-!"

The trooper goes to raise his gun

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (160)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Dexterity Check! (88)

The trooper isn't able to see Vek coming

Vek:He grabs his gun and throws it behind him "Duga, do something with this."

Olivar:he looks to the slaves, and looks to Vek

Duga:He stops it mid-air, making it float the his hands

to*

Vek:He nods, and looks to the stormtrooper "Who's in charge here?"

Stormtrooper:"Jaimrap!"

Vek:He pushed him against the wall "What?!"

"That Arcona piece of shit!?"

Stormtrooper:The trooper is not able to do much as he's frozen by fear without his blaster

"Yea!"

Vek:"Where is he!?"

Stormtrooper:The trooper points to a house just a few buildings over

"In there."

Vek:"How many other men are stationed here?"

Stormtrooper:"Four others."

Vek:"And where are they?"

Stormtrooper:"Probably in there."

The trooper moves his pointer to the next house over

Vek:"Great." He looked to Olivar "Get everyone out of there."

Olivar:He nods, and goes to pull the door off with the force

Olivar Uses Telekinesis!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (72)

Stormtrooper:The door is broken off the hinges, making a lot of noise

Slave:The slaves looks over, some too weak to really move as others flock to the door and look at the band of possible heros

Olivar:He stands out of their way

Vek:"Marko, keep this guy company." He says, patting the head of the stormtrooper

"And Vedro, see if you can help these people any."

"Everyone else, be ready for a fight."

Vedro:"Sure." He says, as he takes his hands out of his pockets and goes over to see if he can help them

Olivar:"You are all free." He says to the slaves "Though, I would suggest taking up arms against the troopers."

Duga:He tosses the blaster onto the ground near the fittest looking slaves "As it happens, there's a few just over there."

Slave:"..."

The slaves that were wrong enough to walk, immediately run from the village as the others lay in the filth of the cage. Vedro believes he may be able to help them but their needs require time.

Vedro:"Man, you guys suck." He looks tot he other slaves, "I can help you all, but it'll take him."

Marko:Marko stands next to the trooper, keeping on of his eyes on him at all times

Duga:He sneers "Weaklings."

Olivar:"How fast d-"

"God damnit!"

Vek:"Alright, Tyzen, stay here with Marko and cover Vedro's back."

Olivar:"This was a sweet, heroic moment!"

"And you had to fuckin...fucking ruin it."

Duga:"Would you not want to get back at those that threw you into captivity?"

Tyzen:Tyzen stands next to the now open doorway into the makeshift cages

Olivar:"I mean, yeah, but damn man."

Vek:"Isa, can you fight?"

Duga:"Then you are worth more than all of them combined."

Isa:"I can if I must."

Duga:He turns toward the house with the troopers

Olivar:He looks to Vedro "I know a little bit about medicine myself, after we deal with this, I'll come back and help out."

Vek:"Then I'll let you decide if you wish to stay here and protect Vedro or come with u- D-duga!"

Olivar:He then turns to Duga "...thank...you?"

Vedro:"Sure, if you want. You can be the nurse."

Vek:*omit th D-duga

"Alright, let's go. Before they get wise."

Isa:Isa decides to join Vek and the others

Stormtrooper:As they make their way for the house, a trooper takes a step out of the house and looks the opposite way of the group as he takes off his helmet and lights a death stick

"This place smells fucking awful."

Vek:He looks to Duga, and nods toward the Stormtrooper

Duga:He simply flicks his finger up

Duga Uses Force Push!

Duga:Uses the Force! (143)

Stormtrooper:Toughs it Out! (90)

"This wet sack of sh-AH!"

As the trooper continues to ramble about how much he disdains the village, he goes flying into the air, high enough for the group to lose track of him

Duga:He simply begins walking forward

Vek:".....Uh...good job."

He continues for the door

Isa:Isa stays a few feet behind everyone as they arrive to the door which is now closed, the trooper having closed it before he lit the stick

Vek:He then closed his eyes

Vek Uses Force Sight!

Vek:Uses the Force! (185)

Isa:Makes a Thievery Check! (66)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Thievery Check! (58)

As Vek's eyes gain a white tint over them, everything around him go white with the exception of his crew as they are no longer seen normally, instead with they have a constantly moving blue outline, as he peers at the building, he is able to slightly see a five ever moving blue outlines in varies places of the building, three at a table, one in another room of the building stretching and final is on their knees in another room, leaning against the wall

Vek:"There are five people in the building. Three past this door. We should try to take care of them quickly and quietly."

Duga:"What is the point of quiet?"

Vek:He doesn't answer him

Olivar:He nods, and looks on the face of the building for a window or open door

Stormtrooper:There seems to only be the door beside them and all of the windows are too small for him to fit

Olivar:"How far past the door are they?"

Vek:"Couple meters."

Olivar:"So, we're just taking them out?"

Vek:He nods "You head in, see what you can do. Pull that trick from the Huap tourney. If things go to shit, we'll be there behind you."

Duga:He grips his saber hilt "Let's hurry this."

Olivar:He nods, and proceeds to force cloak and then go and then opens the door, sneaking in

Olivar Uses Force Cloak!

Stormtrooper:Olivar is able to sneak into the building with his cloak covering him as the troopers all look at the door

Olivar:Uses the Force! (107)

Stormtrooper:Perceives! (126)

They watch the door as it swings and Olivar feels as if he has been spotted

"..."

"Is.."

"Is that..."

"Is that the Filar-Nitzan!?"

Stormtrooper:One of the troopers scream as he jumps out of his chair as another pushes himself away from the table going to grab his blaster and says as the third faints.

"Fred was right!"

Olivar:He looks to the chair, and lifts it in the air, slowly, with the force

Stormtrooper:"What the fuck!"

The trooper who jumped up says as the one with the blaster shoots at the table

"You get out of here you spooky specter!"

chair*

Duga:"What the..."

He looks to Vek

Olivar:He goes to make the table start grinding against the floor

Vek:He holds his hand up "Not yet."

Olivar:Uses the Force! (124)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Willpower Check! (95)

The trooper with the blaster puts it in his mouth and says

"You're not taking me!"

The first trooper looks to the second and goes to stops him however doesn't get there in time as he has a new burn hole

The trooper looks to the faint transparent figure

"You ruined us!"

Stormtrooper:"You fucking ruined us!"

Olivar:He says in a creepy voice "*You ruined yourselves..."

Duga:He's flabbergasted

Olivar:Charms! (108)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Willpower Check! (59)

The trooper drops to his knees and stares at the ghost

"You're right..."

"We shouldn't have played with the kijin board."

"We summoned you."

"We brought this upon ourselves."

Duga:Lucks Out! (77)

Stormtrooper:Lucks Out! (14)

At the moment a body suddenly falls through the roof and lands on the remaining trooper, breaking his neck

Vek:"..Okay, now we go in."

Duga:He's in

Olivar:"Prepare to meet a fate...worse than death...

Stormtrooper:As they enter they find a man sitting in a chair with a blaster shot through his head, a trooper on the ground passed out, and a trooper laying on the ground with his neck snapped and another trooper on top of him with a hole in the roof just above them

"... Guys?"

A trooper says as he steps out of another room and stops in a flutter of emotions as he looks between his mostly dead team mates and the new group of hooded figures

Olivar:Still cloaked, he turns on his lightsaber "...Your fate awaits..."

Stormtrooper:"..."

Olivar:"The spirit of the KIJIN has arrived..."

Stormtrooper:The trooper is in a state of shock as he just looks at the over sized glow stick

"Uh.."

"What the fuck's a Kijin?"

Duga:"Bah!" He turns his lightsaber on and pulls the trooper toward it

Olivar:"..."

Duga Uses Force Pull!

Stormtrooper:"Wha_!"

Toughs it Out! (49)

Duga:Uses the Force! (106)

Olivar:He uncloaks "Man, I hold a whole thing going!"

Duga:Does (64) Damage!

Stormtrooper:The trooper is thrown into Duga's blade where he stops, eyes widen and mouth agape as he stares into Duga's eyes

Tears fill his helmet as the trooper's voice begins to tremble

"What did I do?"

Vek:He starts heading for the location of the fifth

Olivar:He uses his handcuffs to cuff the passed out one

Duga:"Wrong place, wrong time."

He turns the blade off

Stormtrooper:As the blade turns off the trooper looks down to the hole in his stomach before looking back up to Duga and fainting as well

As Vek enters the room with the last person, he finds a woman with the leggings of a storm trooper, however the chest and helmet are off, laying next to her as drool drips from her mouth and she stares into space. Bags under her eyes, dirt in the wrinkles that make up most of her face and eyes with seem to be fading, the woman obviously is no where close to being there, or at least in a sane state.

Isa:Upon walking into the building, Isa stops and looks at the group of dead and passed out troopers and back to the other people, and with eyes of sadness she leaves the building, letting them finish

Vek:He walks back out the room, rubbing his neck, as he looks to Olivar and Duga "So..uh..Jaimrap."

Duga:"Who?"

Vek:"The last thing we have to deal with before we head to the palace."

Duga:"Then let's get on with it." He starts out of the house

Vek:He nods, following Duga out, looking to Olivar and Isa if he sees them

Isa:Isa is sitting outside the house they were just in, looking at the slaves Vedro is tending to

Duga:"Is the objective to kill this Jaimrap?"

Vek:"No."

"That's for Ashhera to decide."

"But he is in charge of this whole operation, so I'm hoping he has some insights."

Duga:He goes to open the door

Jaimrap:As Duga opens the door, inside he hears someone speaking an alien dialect before shooting back to them and yelling

"Damn it! I said leave me alone!"

Vek:He moves for the voice

Duga:He's with Vek

Jaimrap:As they turn the corner, they see the Arcona who stares at them with a displeased expression

"Who the hell are you!?"

Duga:He raises his hand

Duga Uses Force Choke!

Duga:Uses the Force! (126)

Jaimrap:Toughs it Out! (124)

The Arcona starts to look away from them as he goes to grab at his neck

"Wha.. Wha... Uh.."

He begins to choke as he looks at Duga with confusion and worry

Vek:He looks to Duga "Remember, we're not killing him."

Duga:He squeezes "There are things worse than death." he releases Jaimrap after a moment

Jaimrap:He falls to the ground, gasping for breath as he regains his control

As he looks between the two, he says something in an unknown language

Vek:"Hey, buddy, keep it to Basic."

He moves toward him

Jaimrap:"What do you?!"

The arcona says as he holds his hands in front of him, frightened by the powah demonstrated by Duga

Vek:"The name Ashhera mean anything to you?"

Jaimrap:"Ash.. I knew that music loving Bith would come back for me.. But I thought he would have had the balls to do it himself, not send some brown nosing groupy assassins after me."

Vek:"I'm not a goddamned assassin, you piece of shit!"

"Ashhera's a friend. He came here for his son."

Jaimrap:"His so- oh..."

Vek:"Oh?"

"Oh what?"

Jaimrap:"He doesn't have any son."

"I'm not telling."

Vek:"Yes, you are."

Jaimrap:The arcona says as he gets back to his feet

"No. I'm not."

Vek:"Unless you want to go for round two with Duga, you are."

Jaimrap:"..."

He looks to Duga for a minute

Duga:He chuckles

Jaimrap:"It was Aellwu's idea."

Vek:"Who?"

Jaimrap:"Aelleewu. My wife."

"His wife."

Vek:He goes to push him into the desk

Jaimrap:The arconan does nothing to prevent this

"Hey!"

"Hold it, buddy!"

Vek:"Get to the fucking point!"

Jaimrap:"What point?"

Vek:"Her idea to do what!?"

Jaimrap:"To kill him."

Vek:Makes a Willpower Check! (115)

Duga:He sighs "Don't forget the other information we need from him."

Vek:His fist shake as he stands back "Why the fuck does she want to kill him?"

Jaimrap:"I don't know."

"She just wants him dead."

"I just wanted head, didn't ask questions."

Vek:"And you're just going to fuck your best friend over, twic-"

Makes a Willpower Check! (98)

He moves closer in an intimidating manner "You're a real piece of shit, you know that?"

Jaimrap:"I've been called worse by better people."

Jaimrap says, not intimidated at all

Duga:He pulls out his saber "May I ask a question?"

He strolls up

Jaimrap:He sticks his nose up and says looking over to Duga

"I hope it's not another question about that Bith bitch."

Duga:"No."

He grabs Jaimraps arm, and holds it out and looks to Vek "Could you keep this still?"

Jaimrap:"What are you doing?"

Vek:He grabs hold of his arm, holding it still for Duga

Makes a Strength Check! (95)

Jaimrap:Makes a Strength Check! (104)

The arcona yanks away from Vek as he goes to hold the arm still

"What are you doing!?"

Duga:He flicks his finger, going to sling and hold his arm down

Duga Uses Telekinesis !

Duga:Uses the Force! (160)

Jaimrap:Toughs it Out! (101)

The arcona isn't able to do shit as his arm slams against the desk, crumbling up one of the things he was working on

Duga:"That's better."

Vek:"Wait..."

"You're not..."

Duga:He holds his saber up next to Jaimraps hand "My question is....how much do you think this will hurt?"

Jaimrap:"What are you doing?"

"Stop this at once!"

Duga:"Answer. The. Question."

Jaimrap:"I will not!"

Vek:"D-Duga are you...sure about this?"

Jaimrap:"Not until you answer my question!"

Duga:"Sure about what?" He turns on the saber

Vek:"This might be taking it a little bit fa-"

Jaimrap:The arcona looks at saber as he doesn't even feel it go through his hand

"What is tha- OH MY GOD!"

Finally seeing the blade sticking through his hand, the arcona begins screaming in his foreign alien language in pain and fear

Duga:He ignores the screams "As far as a plot to kill? I'd care to argue." He idly pulls the saber up to be vertical before he turns it off

Vek:He just looks between the two of them, not sure what to say

Duga:He looks to Jaimrap "So, you can answer my question, or his? I can repeat it if you want."

Jaimrap:The arcona looks to Duga and spits in his face as tears fall down his face and his hand begins to flop over, halfway cut off as he continues to curse them in the alien language

Vek:"I said keep it to fucking Basic!"

"Now, tell us everything you fucking know unless you want to risk a third round with Duga! But I don't think you'll make it out of the ring!"

Jaimrap:The Arcona looks to Vek as rage continues to fill his face, continuing to curse in the unknown speech

Duga:"Oh, he'll survive. Though he'll wish he hadn't."

Vek:"How the fuck does she plan on killing him?"

Jaimrap:He tells Vek.. But not in basic

Vek:He pulls his lightsaber out "Try me."

Jaimrap:"I am!"

Vek:He headbutts him

Jaimrap:The arcona says as he eyes begin to turn red with anger before his head is sent back into the desk

"Ahgjal"

Vek:"I'm getting real sick and tired of your shit!"

(From Duga): He feeds on Vek's hate

Vek:"First, you're going to tell us her plan to kill Ashhera. Then, you're going to confirm Cyler's location. Then, you're going to give us any keycards of access codes you have."

or *

Jaimrap:"Over my limp kuduafu."

Duga:"Limp is still attached."

Jaimrap:The arcona looks to Duga as his hatred begins to waver, with fear taking it's place

Duga:He smiles

Vek:"We're waiting."

Jaimrap:Makes a Willpower Check! (132)

The Arcona looks at Vek and spits in his face

"You'll keep waiting."

Duga:He puts a hand on Vek's shoulder

"Give me ten minutes."

Vek:Makes a Willpower Check! (159)

He steps back "Make it five."

Duga:"With pleasure."

Jaimrap:"You can make it twenty, nothing will change!"

Duga:"Oh, plenty will change."

Vek:He steps back a bit, but keeps his eyes and ears perked for what happens "Just don't do more than you have to."

Duga:"Feel free to join if I haven't done enough." He turns his lightsaber on and gets to work

Jaimrap:rolling 1t[Maim]

Left eye

"Ah!"

Duga:He cackles as loudly as Jaimrap screams

Charms! (45)

Jaimrap:Makes a Willpower Check! (131)

The arcona loses an eye and gains a couple of scars on his right arm as he continues to scream but he still isn't talking

Duga:"I like you. You're strong."

"That only makes this sweeter."

He continues

Makes a Strength Check! (27)

Jaimrap:Makes a Willpower Check! (137)

Left Hand: Ring finger

He doesn't even know that his left hand is missing a finger as he continues to scream

Duga:"How about you give it a whirl? It's exhilarating." He looks to Vek

Vek:"No."

"This is...it isn't right."

Duga:"You said I couldn't kill him." He stabs at Jaimrap while looking at Vek

Jaimrap:Left Hand: Pinky finger

Duga:Makes a Strength Check! (106)

Jaimrap:Makes a Willpower Check! (74)

"No!"

Suddenly his hand becomes lighter as his ring hits the ground, the arcona looks to Duga with one as

"You.."

"You auwnn kupa doo!"

"I'll kill every last iuz gu!"

Duga:"I think it's about time to sing, friend."

Jaimrap:"..."

"What do you want to know, your horned jupa?"

The arcona asks as the excitement of the events start to wind down and he is beginning lose strength

Duga:He turns off his saber, simply stepping back "All eyes on you." He says to Vek

Vek:He steps forward "What is her plan to kill Ashhera. Where is Cyler. How can we access the palace." He says, plainly

Jaimrap:"At his home..."

"There are slaves who have been bought specifically to kill him."

"Cyler is at the palace... He will be coming back here in a couple of days to check on everyone."

"And you can't get in the palace."

Vek:"Bullshit."

Jaimrap:"It is heavily guarded by Purgs."

"No one can get in unless they have pregiven clearance. Cyler is one of the few that are allowed to enter and leave the building."

Tyzen:Tyzen steps up from behind the two and asks

"Vek.. Duga, what's happening?"

"I heard screaming."

Duga:"We're saving the bith."

Tyzen:"Ashhera?"

Vek:"Tyzen, I told you to stay with Marko."

Tyzen:"You told me to stay with Vedro."

Vek:"To stay with Marko and watch Vedro. Either way, you don't need to be here."

Tyzen:"Who is that?"

Tyzen asks looking to the incredibly wounded Arcona as he shakes in pain, laying against the desk

Vek:"A very, very bad man."

Duga:"Our enemy."

He holds up his hilt at Jaimrap "One who wishes harm upon us."

Tyzen:"Alright."

Tyzen says with confusion in his eyes and a hint of worry as he leaves the two

Jaimrap:After Tyzen leaves, Jaimrap begins chuckling as he says

"A boy?"

"You brought.. A boy to this planet?"

"And you say I'm the bad man."

Vek:"You shut your goddamn fucking mouth."

Duga:He looks to Vek "Do you think we've gotten all of the answers to our questions?"

Jaimrap:The arcona smiles as he looks to Vek with one eye and says

"You're the ones who are torturing a unarmed defenseless man."

Vek:"No."

"You don't get to have the fucking high ground here."

"You're a fucking worthless waste of space."

"We'd be doing the world a favor if we killed you now."

Jaimrap:"Then go on."

"Do it."

"And tell the boy that I attacked you."

"He say the state I am in."

"I'm sure he'll believe you."

Vek:"Shut the fuck up."

"Stop talking."

"I'm not going to kill you."

"That'd make this too easy on you."

Jaimrap:"How sad. You're a pundalor."

Vek:"You're going to watch everything you've lied, stealed, and cheated for crumble before you."

"You're whole fucking life here? Over."

"Your wife? Gone."

"Your rank? I don't think the queen will take too kindly to this fucking failure."

" 'gettin head' ? You're going to be an infirm fucking cripple, everyone will be disgusted by the mention of you."

Jaimrap:Jaimrap slowly starts to lower from the desk to the ground as he looks up to Duga

"I see.. Why you like him."

Vek:he kicks Jaimrap in the face

Makes a Strength Check! (112)

Jaimrap:Makes a Willpower Check! (87)

The arcona is on the verge of passing out as his head is kicked against the desk, forcing a grunt out of him

They can hear every breath he takes as it's beginning to be a struggle for him to breath

Vek:"...Ashhera'd probably forgive you, too.":

"He's a better man than me."

Duga:"And I'm the monster." He leans down to pick Jaimrap up by his throat

Jaimrap:Already having trouble breathing, Jaimrap begins to choke

Duga:"Any parting words?" He looks to Vek

Vek:"...Don't kill him."

Jaimrap:"If I die.. I'll become stronger than you could possibly realize."

Vek:"No."

"You fucking won't, you dumbass."

Duga:"Remember how is said there are things worse than death?"

Jaimrap:"I'll become a kiji and possess your boy."

Vek:"That's stupid, and you're even stupider."

Jaimrap:"Then kill me and watch me."

Vek:"DUGA!"

Jaimrap:The arcona smiles as he looks to Vek

Duga:He tosses Jaimrap on his stomach and holds out his lightsaber a fair distance away and turns it on, only just piercing his spine

Jaimrap:"Rebapabepa!"

Duga:"Now all he can do is talk."

Jaimrap:The Arcona does a plank as he stairs into space before going limp as his one good eye hits against the floor he says with sorrow taking over his voice

"I can't feel... anything."

Duga:He starts walking out

Jaimrap:"If you leave me here. I will die."

Vek:"No shit?"

He looks over his desk

Jaimrap:Vek is able to see the arcona was working on some things but they're all in an alien language and he has no idea what they could mean

"I will take your son... And make sure he gets the worst fate I could possibly imagine."

Duga:He stops "But you'll suffer every minute until you do, and that's what makes it worth leaving you alive."

Vek:"Stop."

"Talking."

"You lost."

"Game over."

"Your empire of dirt collapsed."

Jaimrap:"It was never mine."

Duga:"Actually..." he walks over and kicks over Jaimrap

Jaimrap:He can do nothing to stop Duga

"Auh."

Duga:He graps Jaimraps jaw and goes to pry open his mouth

Jaimrap:"Uah!"

(From Duga): 2

Vek:He raises an eyebrow

Duga:He picks up Jaimrap's fingers and shoves them in his mouth

Jaimrap:"Ohkalc!"

That is all Jaimrap is able to get out before his fingers are placed in his mouth

Duga:He kicks his jaw shut "Some food for thought."

He then exits

Vek:"...." He stumbles to a chair, taking a seat

Jaimrap:Vek falls back on a seat as Jaimrap begins to choke on his own fingers

Vek:He walks over and goes to get the fingers out of Jaimrap's mouth

Duga:Just before he's out of the door "Killing him would be a mercy. Let's see if you have it in you." He gone

Jaimrap:Jaimrap spits out as Vek takes the fingers out

"You..."

"Are a monster."

Vek:"....."

"Maybe I am..."

"But I'm not a fucking Jaqua."

Jaimrap:"You're right. You're worse."

Vek:Makes a Willpower Check! (152)

He looks for a chest or trunk

Jaimrap:There are none however the desk has a drawer

(From Duga): He approaches Tyzen "That is what happens to people

Jaimrap:Jaimrap watches Vek look around

(From Duga): those that stand in you way."*

Vek:He shakes his head

(To Duga): "Like the cop?"

Vek:"Fuck you."

"You stupid piece of shit."

(From Duga): "Even him, should he stand in our way."

Vek:"You're running an enslavement camp, you fucking moron, you think I'm some kind of idiot?"

He goes to grab some slop

(To Duga): "I.." Tyzen has trouble finding the words as he just nods to Duga

(From Duga): "In fact, you should see yourself what state Vek and I left him in, so you can understand."

Jaimrap:Some slop sits just by the door in the building Jaimrap has taken over

Vek:He grabs the slop, walking over, as he starts pouring it all over his face before dropping the bucket down next to his head, turning to leave, not looking back

(To Duga): "Alright.."

Tyzen:Tyzen walks into the doorway as Vek pours the slop onto him causing Tyzen to stop in stare in shock

Vek:He walks right past Tyzen

Tyzen:"..."

As Vek walks out, Tyzen walks in and stands beside the slop ridden arcona

Jaimrap:Tyzen watches as the arcona cry in his sorrows and slop

Marko:Marko watches as Vek leaves the building the screams came from before calling to him

"Captain Vek! What do you want me to do with the trooper?"

Vek:"Put him with the others."

He says, coldly

Marko:Marko nods and leads the trooper to the bodies of his friends, both dead and unconscious

Vedro:He looks over, "What happened?"

Vek:"I don't want to talk about it."

Slave:The slave looks to Vedro and says

"Thank you."

Vedro:"... Okay." He looks back over, "It's no issue."

Duga:He walks over, a small smile on his face but nothing more

Vek:He just stands there for a moment, staring off into nothing, before he then dropped his lightsaber to the ground, and fell to his knees

"D-duga.."

Duga:"Yes?"

Vek:"Go get Tyzen, please."

"I can't look at him."

Duga:"Recover your wits. We have a Bith to save." He goes toward the house

Vedro:"Wait, what?" He looked back over

Vek:"Ashhera."

"It was a trap."

Vedro:"Wait... w-..."

"What the fuck?!"

Vek:"His wife set him up."

Vedro:"... Oh, that fucking whore."

"It's on."

Tyzen:As Duga enters the house, he sees Tyzen sitting next to the slowly dying Arcona

(From Duga): He stands over Tyzen and Jaimrap "What do you think?"

(To Duga): "It's a sad sight."

Vedro:"I try to stay out of fights whenever I can, but... not this time. I'm all in."

He looks back to the Slave, "Try walking now."

(From Duga): "A weakling had no reason to get involved in what he could not handle. End him or leave him to his fate. He has earned either."

(To Duga): "He.. It would be good to end his suffering... But.. What did he do to make you and Vek leave him like this?"

Slave:The slave looks to Vedro and does his best to stand

(From Duga): "He was a spineless coward who could not handle his own business. His suffering is equal to what he would have caused the Bith."

Vedro:He tries to help him up

Slave:Makes a Strength Check! (103)

The slave is able to not only stand up but begin to walk, without the help of Vedro

"You.. Thank you, doctor.. You are a god."

Vedro:"No, no, I'm not a god, I'm simply a Rodian. But thank you."

"Make sure to stay hydrated over the next days, and don't eat too heavily. Re-acclimate to eating real food."

"And make sure to be on the lookout for any infections. Make sure to treat them."

"Also, spread the word of that advice to all your friends."

(To Duga): "... But.. Is it right to do this?" Tyzen says as he turns his lightsaber on

Slave:"Won't you stay here? Help us more, please?"

(From Duga): He shakes his head "He hasn't earned an easy death." He put his foot to Jaimrap's throat

Vedro:"I normally would, but I'm on a time crunch now. My friend's in danger, and I gotta save him."

"If we have time before we have to leave, however, I'll teach you a few things to help the others."

(To Duga): As Duga does this, Tyzen turns off his lightsaber and nods with eyes of sadness and indifference "I understand."

(From Duga): He crunches down a bit, but not enough before turning around "Make your choice and follow along." He starts out

Slave:"Thank you, doctor."

Vedro:"It's no problem."

(To Duga): Tyzen thinks for a moment and before Duga exits, he turns around and follows, leaving the arcona to his fate

Tyzen:Tyzen exits just behind Duga a couple of minutes after he entered

PAGE 21: Iskalon pt.1 // END

PAGE 22: Iskalon pt.2 // START

Narrator:Tyzen can be found sitting amongst the slaves as Marko makes sure the two living troopers stay in place as a few days have passed since their arrival

Isa:She can be found helping the slaves, talking to them with Tyzen

Olivar:He has just gotten through attending to some minor wounds of the slaves, and begins to walk towards Vek

Vek:He's staring off at the distance, sitting on a bench he pulled out from one of the houses, having kept to himself, reflecting for the past 2 days

Olivar:He takes a seat beside him, staring off with him, having not really said much as well

• having not said much over the past two days

Vek:He sits there for a few more moments, before he sighs, and goes to stand up, just looking around over the town, now

Narrator:The town has mostly stayed the same with the exception of any changes

Olivar:"...you're a good man Vek."

"Don't doubt that."

Vek:He shrugs, and looks over at Tyzen "I'm not so sure about that."

Olivar:"You're were forced into this. They chose this. Don't forget that."

Vek:"But the end result's the same either way."

Olivar:"The end result is taking down a slaving empire, basically, and stopping a psychopath who wants to be the next emperor." He readjusts himself "I'm not saying that the ends justify the means or anything...but those we have hurt so far have been the aggressors."

Vek:He just nods "I know. You know that, and I know that. But I don't know about the others."

Olivar:"The others?"

Vek:"Everyone else. I'm the captain of the ship, I'm supposed to set an example."

"Regardless of the why's, what happened is all that matters at the end of the day."

Olivar:"...I suppose..." He looks to Vek, having not really been looking at him before then "...don't lose that feeling. That what you're doing isn't right."

"...when you feel as though you're completely justified in everything you do...when you feel like the ends do justify the means...I think that would be the point where you have gone wrong."

Vek:"....."

"I don't think Duga's a good man."

Olivar:He stands "I agree."

Vek:"I should have stopped him when he started with his fucking eye..." He says, mumbling as he goes to stand, himself "But Tyzen didn't see that, he saw me."

Olivar:"...I think a question to ask, maybe not more important, but just as equal...Why did you let him continue?"

Vek:"Because that guy was a piece of shit."

Olivar:"He deserved it, right?"

Vek:"I don't know if I can judge that...but if I could, yea, he did."

Olivar:"But yet you still feel guilty?"

Vek:"He was the opposite of everything I stand for."

Olivar:"Or do you only feel guilty that the kid saw you?"

Vek:He nods "I just feel..like I lost control." He shakes his head "I barely registered that Tyzen was there when it happened.."

Olivar:He looks away once again "...sounds like what Duga was talking about."

Vek:"Yea, yea."

"I'm sure he had a great time."

"Doubt he's lost a wink."

Olivar:"..." He thinks for a moment "...before I met Isa, I didn't really question whether what I was doing was right or not...even afterwards, I just went right back to fully believing this was the right road, that this was...just." He walks forward a bit more "...yet we're doing exactly what we yell at Duga for saying, aren't way?"

"Maybe not exactly, but in a...broader sense."

"This entire...journey is motivated by revenge. Anger. Hell, that's the reason why I joined up with you guys, not because I felt that it was wrong to do otherwise, but because Soltice was making me one of her crownies."

Vek:"...You're right, I've been thinking about that."

Olivar:"I didn't even bat an eye. I just decided she will watch her entire world burn before me."

Vek:"What we're even really doing here."

Olivar:"Well, us."

Vek:"And I've decided.."

"I know what I'm doing."

Olivar:He looks back to Vek

Vek:He just looks out over the shithole they are inhabiting, as he clenches his fist

Olivar:"What's that?"

Vek:"Well, the first thing we're doing is freeing this planet."

"...I am doing."

"You're free to follow along or walk away."

Olivar:He looks away once again, staying silent for a long moment, and then nodding "...I'll stay."

Vek:"Alright, well, better get strapped in."

"Cause I don't give a rats ass about Leats, right now."

"These fucking Purgs are going to come crashing down."

Tyzen:"Vek!"

Tyzen calls out as he runs towards the two

Vek:He looks over

Tyzen:"Some people are coming!"

Tyzen says as he points towards the road opposite of where they came from

Vek:he looks to Olivar, then back towards the road as he goes to make his way down closer

Olivar:He walks alongside

Cyler:As he gets closer he finds three men, two troopers and one man in a crew suit walking up on the city

Vek:"Tyzen, go hide."

Tyzen:Standing next to Vek, Tyzen looks from the men back to Vek

"But.. Why?"

Vek:"Please, just listen to me."

"I don't know how this is going to go, and if we all die here, someone has to tell Qotaro and the others."

Tyzen:With a frown, Tyzen nods before giving Vek and hug and runs back to the slave cages

Olivar:"...how are we going to handle this one?"

Vek:"Bide our time."

"Wait for the right moment to decide if he's on our side or not."

Cyler:As they get closer, the three men stop and look to Olivar and Vek, asking with a hint of dismay

"Who are you?"

Vek:"The name's Vek. Cyler, I take it?"

Cyler:"Vek? I don't recall any Vek's stationed here."

Vek:"Jaimrap brought me in, I'm a specialist."

Cyler:"Where is he?"

Vek:"In his office, getting some rest."

Olivar:He stands there, arms in his coat

Cyler:"..."

Cyler stands in silence for a few moments, looking between the two

"What type of specialist?"

Vek:"This kind." He holds his hand out towards the troopers, as he goes to slam them into each other

Olivar:He pulls out his saber

Vek:He holds his other hand out to Olivar, shaking his head

Vek Uses Force Push!

Vek:Uses the Force! (152)

Cyler:Toughs it Out! (54)

Stormtrooper:Toughs it Out! (106)

The troopers can't do anything as they're forced into each other

Cyler:Cyler looks down and to the side, seeing his guards be pushed together

"So he finally made his move?"

He then takes out his lightsaber and reveals a blue saber before saying

"Well if you're here to kill me, let's get it over with."

Olivar:"We have made our move."

Vek:"N- No, I was bullshitting you."

"I don't work for that piece of shit."

Cyler:"Trying to get me off my guard now? Cowards, can't fight someone one on one after revealing you plan to kill them?"

Vek:"No, we're not here for that."

Cyler:"At least you can look me in the eye when you go through with it. Unlike that old pruned bug."

Olivar:"Listen, you dense piece of shit!"

"We have no masters! We are our own men!"

"We aren't involved in any of your retarded squabbles."

Vek:"We want to learn about the force. The grapevine tells me you know a thing or two about it."

Cyler:"..."

The man looks between the two and turns off his saber

"If you still plan to kill me.. Please, look me in the face when you do it. Not when my back is turned..."

"But."

"If you're telling the truth, and you really don't work for him, then what are you doing here?"

Stormtrooper:The troopers, finally getting up from being thrown into each other hold their opposite arms as they grunt from the pain of slamming into one another

Vek:"How loyal are you to the queen, Cyler?"

Cyler:"That depends on which queen you refer to."

Vek:".....I didn't know there was more than one."

Cyler:"It depends on who you ask. A lot of the people left to govern this planet see only one queen."

Cyler says as he walks past the two, continuing into the town

Stormtrooper:It's taking the troopers a minute to regather their selves

Vek:He goes to follow, and motions to Olivar "Okay, who's the other one?"

Olivar:He follows along, putting up his lightsaber

Cyler:"You're only reason for being here is to learn something of the force?"

Vek:"W- I just asked you who the other queen was."

Cyler:"Do you know anything of the current state the world is in? The government and who runs it?"

Vek:"No, to be honest."

"We just kinda...came here."

"But we didn't come alone."

Cyler:"I would hope not. It usually takes more than two men to pilot a space ship, especially in the outer rim.. Or mid rim for that matter."

Vek:"Well, you haven't met our pilot, then."

Cyler:Cyler stops and turns to look at the two

"I know very little of the force. I rarely use it and even then I push the boundaries of the law."

Vek:He sighs, a bit deflated

Olivar:He kicks a rock "God...damnit..."

Vek:"Okay, plan B."

Cyler:"I am sorry that you've come here, our home is in a state of dying and unfortunately.."

"We aren't in a stable place to help others."

"You should leave."

Vek:"Us? Nah."

"You?"

"We're gonna need you to help us out."

Cyler:"I don't know how much I could do for you. As I said, I am no master of the force."

Vek:"That's not what we need."

"Does the name Isa mean anything to you?"

Cyler:The man stops as his eyes light up while he becomes pale, his mouth opens slightly as he asks

"How do you know her?"

Olivar:"What about you?"

Cyler:He looks to Olivar and says with a snap

"No! How do you know that name!?"

"Answer me!"

The man says, no longer his calm sad self

Vek:"She's a friend. And she's back home."

Cyler:As Vek says this Cyler's eyes snap to him before a small smirk appears and his color comes back

"She's home?"

Vek:"I don't know, is she?"

Cyler:"Tell me, this is important damn it!"

The man exclaims, as his emotions are swaying from excitement and anger

Olivar:He looks to Vek, a little nervous

Vek:"You need to take a step back and relax."

"What if she is? Then what?"

Cyler:"Stop toying with me and tell me! Is she here!? She is in great danger if she is!"

Vek:"Yes, she is."

Cyler:A tear comes to his eyes as he gains a wide smile

"Where.. Where is she?"

Olivar:He shakes his head

Vek:"Olivar, go get her. You're staying right here with me, though."

Cyler:"She's here!?"

Olivar:He nods, and goes to find her

Cyler:"But.. Jaimrap!"

"And the other troopers!"

Vek:"Yea, we fucked them up."

Cyler:"They're dead?"

Vek:"Not all of them. I didn't kill anybody."

Cyler:"You should have."

Cyler says as he looks to the trooper to the right of Vek

"It's time. Kill him."

Stormtrooper:*The trooper nods and aims his gun

Vek:"Bad choice."

(To Vek): "Safe."

Stormtrooper:As he aims the other trooper calls out before a silence erupts between the four

The blaster fire is the last thing they hear

Isa:As Olivar enters the cages, they hear the blaster

"What's going on?"

Olivar:He turns around "GO BACK INSIDE!"

"NOW!"

Isa:Isa sits back down, having never left

Olivar:As he runs back outside, he curses to himself, realizing that she never came out in the first place

Tyzen:Tyzen jumps up and looks outside the door, taking out his saber hilt, not firing it on just yet

Stormtrooper:As Olivar quickly makes his way back, he sees Cyler standing in front of Vek, blocking his view of the captain as the stormtrooper to the left of him drops to the ground

Ayeser:It's not until now that Olivar is able to hear a voice that he hasn't heard in a minute say from the trooper to Vek's right

"Ayeser."

Cyler:Cyler looks back to Olivar as he runs back to the three

Olivar:Everything fucking stops, as he gets tunnel vision. His vision goes red "YOU!"

He looks around, really confused "What-What's going on?!"

Vek:"....."

"What the fuck?"

Olivar:"You!" He points at Ayeser, hand on his saber "What the hell are you doing here?"

Ayeser:"Working."

Vek:"You know this trooper?"

Olivar:"Y-Yeah!"

he looks to Cyler and Ayeser "Just...who the fuck works for who?"

Cyler:"He works for a friend of mine."

"They're helping me save this planet."

Olivar:"...wh-who's...your...friend?"

Cyler:"A woman named Solstice."

Vek:He looks to Olivar

Olivar:He starts shaking, and looks around for a bombed out car

Or anything

He storms over to the wall that's barely being held together, pulls out his light saber, and proceeds to cut it up with extreme prejudice

Cyler:"..."

Cyler looks to Vek

With a blank expression he asks with in a confused tone

"Does he know her?"

Vek:"Yea."

Ayeser:"Yep."

Vek:"She sent him to capture me."

Ayeser:"Oh I remember that, I was there!"

Cyler:Cyler looks to Ayeser and says sternly

"Explain."

Ayeser:"There isn't much to say."

Cyler:"I believe there is. What does he mean capture?"

Ayeser:"Just that."

Vek:"Or kill, I think."

"Either or."

Ayeser:"Yea, that was the other option."

"Solstice and her friends are recruiting forcefuls."

"Either they join her or die."

Cyler:"And me?"

Ayeser:"You're a friend from another time, you get a pass."

Olivar:He stops "WAIT!"

Ayeser:Cyler and Ayeser look back to Olivar

Olivar:He turns around, breathing heavily, approaching them again "So, you don't know what she's actually doing?!"

Cyler:"Nothing with Forcefuls."

"I've been too busy with Iskalon to deal with anything happening on the outside."

Olivar:He points his saber to Ayeser

Ayeser:"Nope, you see, Cyler and my boss have been friends for a very long time. When she- Hey now."

Olivar:"God damnit! Cyler, you're being played."

Cyler:Cyler raises his hilt and points it at Olivar

"Put it down."

Olivar:"I don't think you understand. Solstice is recruiting an army for Lord Leat."

Ayeser:"Well I don't see any games around here."

Cyler:"Lord Le- Who the fuck is that?"

Olivar:"A mother fucker who wants to become the new emperor."

Ayeser:"Actually, it's not a 'is that' it's more of a 'are they'."

Cyler:Cyler looks to Ayeser

"What?"

Olivar:"Well, yeah, there are two, but that's not the important part!"

Cyler:He looks back to Olivar

Ayeser:"Actually it is."

Cyler:He looks back to Ayeser

Olivar:"Solstice was tracking down Isa."

Cyler:He moves his hilt to Olivar

Ayeser*

Ayeser:"Yes, to make sure that she wasn't going to do anything."

Cyler:"What does that mean?"

Olivar:"Yeah, bullshit, how do explain how the god damn mercenaries invaded their ship after they landed, huh?"

Ayeser:"That wasn't us."

Vek:He's just listening, not knowing what the fuck is going on, trying to absorb what he can

Olivar:"Bullshit, prove it."

Ayeser:"Well the only way I could prove it would be to let you and Solstice talk.. Something I don't exactly have the ability to do right now."

Olivar:"Does she know that Orvax was invaded by an army of droids?"

Cyler:Cyler lowers his hilt

Ayeser:"Orvax?"

Olivar:"O- God damnit, Drexel, sorry."

"I've got a lot on my mind lately!"

He starts to doubt his previous assumptions, but really doesn't want to

Ayeser:"Drexel was.. Oh dear.."

The Ayeser looks down and says in a defeated tone

"That means war."

Cyler:"We're already at war!"

Ayeser:"I don't mean the war for this planet. I mean the big one. Once Solstice finds out she's going to tell Lord Leats and when he finds out.."

"Well, there will be hell to pay."

Olivar:"God damnit, why the fuck was I sent to kill Vek?!"

Cyler:"Big one? This is big enough."

Olivar:His saber has not faulted, even though his certainty has

Ayeser:"Well, you originally were sent to either capture him or if you had to, kill him. But if I'm not mistaken, the last message sent to you was to not engage and instead tell us when you found him."

"Them.."

"We didn't know who it was at the time, that was your job. To find out."

Olivar:"Fuck you! You just said you kill or recruit forcefuls!"

Ayeser:"I didn't say otherwise?"

Olivar:"You don't think I didn't pick up on where that was going?! There's no god damn way I was going to let you just fucking do that to me!"

Tyzen:The scene shifts for just a moment to Tyzen standing by the door of the slave cages as he looks to Isa

"It's went quiet.. Do you think they're dead?"

Olivar:"And, now that I know Vek, no way I'm going to let them happen to him!"

Ashhera:"Well I am not here for that."

Ayeser:"Well I am not here for that."*

Olivar:He puts both hands on his lightsaber "Look, I-, God fucking damnit! Vek, give me some help here! What's your assesment?!"

Ayeser:Ayeser looks to Vek

Vek:"If she's helping liberate the planet, I have no qualms using her resources."

Ayeser:Ayeser gives Vek a thumbs up

Vek:"Don't thumbs up me."

Ayeser:He then fingerguns Olivar

Vek:"You'd kill me in a heartbeat if she told you t-"

he backs up a bit after that

Olivar:He stops

"Don't."

He stops shaking, and breathes "Fine. But we're working this out."

"Just not now."

Vek:"Oh, yea."

"Definitely."

Cyler:"Ayeser."

Ayeser:"Ayeser?"

Cyler:"Does Solstice plan on using this favor to recruit me as well?"

Ayeser:"Well, as I said earlier, you're a friend from another time. You along with anyone you say gets a pass."

Cyler:Cyler nods

Ayeser:"That's why we were following Isa, not asking her to join or attacking her. Solstice knew you wouldn't have approved."

Cyler:"When this is over."

"Isa is to be left alone, completely."

Ayeser:"I understand sir, but it's not my call."

Cyler:"No, but you'll be the one paying for it."

Olivar:His heart stops once again as he goes to pull Vek to the side

Ayeser:Ayeser salutes Cyler

Olivar:He begins to shake again

Vek:"...I see..." he gives him a good pat on the shoulder "Then looks like we've been working with some false assumptions, perhaps."

Olivar:"...I..." *He stumbles a bit8

"...I need to sit down*

• ."

Narrator:The scene is cut to Duga and Vedro walking along a path, the last path they saw Ashhera on

Vedro:"That fucking bitch is done for... where is she?" He says, taking a good look around for anything he can see of note

Duga:"We'll have to figure that part out."

"Her name is Aelleewu."

Vedro:"Stupid name, for a stupid bitch."

"I'm gonna sew her fucking vaginal canal shut."

Duga:"That sounds tedious."

Vedro:"You're right, it'd be easier to weld it."

Duga:"Perhaps."

He's looking around as he walks

Narrator:Finally, after two days of walking, they see another small village, similar in appearance to the one they found with the others. Several building are in a state of brokenness, smoke coming from a house that's on fire, however unlike the last village, this one doesn't seem to have slaves, this time it has people laying in the streets and blood splatters on the walls

From inside one of the buildings they hear music

Duga:"Well, we've arrived. All there is to do is some bloodletting."

Vedro:"Let's fucking go, then." He says, popping his knuckles, approaching the music

Duga:He follows after

Narrator:As they approuch the house, the can hear whimpering just under the music as it seems to be music of sadness

Vedro:He approaches as he knocks on the door

Narrator:The music stops when he knocks and some thumping can be heard from inside, as if the person playing is running around

Duga:He goes to open the door

Narrator:As Duga goes to open the door, a blaster is heard firing inside

Duga:*He sidesteps just in case

Narrator:Silence comes from the cracked door as the thumping stops

Duga:He then goes to open it again

Stormtrooper:As he opens it, he finds a blood covered stormtrooper staring at him with his blaster on the ground next to him as he is on his knees above another stormtrooper, crying

"Why does it have to be this way?"

Vedro:He steps in, and immediately searches for anyone else that may be there

Perceives! (84)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Thievery Check! (51)

Several bodies make up the floor of the building however no one else is there, however as he continues to look around, he finds, under one of the bodies a trap door that leads underground

Vedro:He looks down at it, and then back to the stormtrooper, "What the hell happened here?"

Stormtrooper:"Hell."

The trooper says between sobs as he looks back to Vedro

Duga:"Be more precise."

Stormtrooper:The trooper falls ontop of the body of his friend, continuing to cry before another blast is heard as a bolt comes out of his back and flies out the house

Vedro:"..." He stops, and then looks over towards where the blast came from

Stormtrooper:As he falls limp, Vedro is able to see that the trooper had a blaster, taking himself out as he embraced his friend for the last time

Vedro:"... Son of a bitch." He shakes his head, before walking over, and goes to open the trap door

Duga:He follows after

Narrator:As he opens the door, he sees it leads down a tunnel, a big enough tunnel for them to walk straight without having to crouch, a tunnel that has probably been here awhile

Vedro:"... Well..." He looks to Duga, "You wanna try this out, or keep searching the town?"

Duga:"Hm...I think following the carnage is our best bet. The rest of the town seemed as dead as those troopers."

Vedro:"I see what you mean..." He groans, and stretches, before going to climb down\

Duga:He's not far behind

Narrator:As they enter the tunnel, they hear the music play once more, bouncing off the walls as they walk down it

After a few seconds of walking, they eventually find footprints making up the floor as it has been recently used

Vedro:"Oh, shit..." He said, rushing along, following the footprints and heading for the music

Narrator:As he rushes down the tunnel, Vedro eventually runs into a makeshift door of wood, something usually seen in a tribal setting, candle light shines through the cracks in the door as the music becomes gets clearer and clearer

Duga:"This is something else."

Vedro:"Yea... Hey, whoever's there, I'm coming in!" He said, going to open the door and walk in

Narrator:As he opens the door, a feminine voice yells at him

"NO!"

Vedro:"What?" He said, looking in

Aelleewu:As he looks in he finds an assortment of torture devises and musical instruments as the room at the end of the tunnel looks like something from the medieval ages. A female Bith stands from one of the weird instruments and points a knife at them

"Leave us!"

Vedro:"W-..."

He doesn't say anything else, as he rushes for her

Duga:He simply washes

watches*

Aelleewu:"Begone you green scaly fiend!"

The woman runs at Vedro, knife drawn

Attacks! (61)

Vedro:Attacks! (149)

He ran forward and threw large overhead right at her

Aelleewu:"No!"

Aelleewu can no doing against the green scaly fiend

Vedro:As she rushed him with her knife, before she could even go to slash at him, he smashed his fist into her face, sending her feet into the air and her head crashing into the ground

Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:After hitting the ground, she holds her face as blood and tears begin to drip down as she continues to scream, reasons differing

Vedro:He looks up then, searching for anyone else in the room

Aelleewu:As he goes to look for anyone else, Aelleewu goes to slice at his legs, still screaming

Attacks! (31)

Vedro:He yanks his leg back

Defends! (116)

He then goes to lift it up and stomp on her wrist

Duga:"Don't kill her. Yet."

Vedro Uses Parry!

Vedro:Attacks! (164)

Aelleewu:"AH!"

Vedro:"Sure!" He says, loudly, as he grinds his boot into her ankle

Aelleewu:Defends! (55)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:She seems to be able to do nothing as she hit once again

Vedro:He goes to yank her up and put a choke hold

Aelleewu:"No!"

She is slowly turning into a witch the more she talks

Vedro:"Yea! You're done for, bitch!"

Aelleewu:She can nothing however still tries, spitting at the doctor

Shoots! (12)

Vedro:He tries to duck under the spit

Defends! (86)

Vedro Uses Parry!

Vedro:He ducks under it, then steps up, and goes to headbutt her

Attacks! (146)

Aelleewu:Defends! (107)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:She flies back and onto her ass as she is rocketed

"No!"

A gurgled no is thrown from her

Vedro:"Yea!" He smacks his chest with his fist, "I'm a Rodian metal machine!"

Aelleewu:"Just leave us be!"

Vedro:"You and who, huh?"

Aelleewu:"My husband!"

Vedro:"What's his name?"

Aelleewu:"Which one?"

Vedro:"... You fucked up."

He goes to Spartan kick her in the chest

Attacks! (92)

Aelleewu:Defends! (34)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:She is kicked onto one of the torture machines as her knife flies out of her hand

"Stop!"

Vedro:He steps up, and says, "Where is he?!"

Aelleewu:"Who?"

Vedro:"Your fucking husband, you stupid bitch!"

Aelleewu:"Who?"

Vedro:He goes to grab her collar, and slab her across the face

Attacks! (150)

Aelleewu:Defends! (24)

She can do nothing as she is slapped across the face, his scales cutting the entire area, almost ripping it off

"AH!"

Vedro:"Where is he, huh?!"

Aelleewu:"Who?"

Vedro:"I'll whoop your ass up and down this tunnel, just tell me!"

Charms! (-31)

Aelleewu:Makes a Willpower Check! (64)

"Who?"

Vedro:"BITCH!"

He goes to pull her head down to his knee

Attacks! (151)

Duga:He pulls up a chair, checking it for spikes first

Aelleewu:Defends! (65)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:Duga is able to find a normal chair to sit back in and watch the show

(From Duga): 2

Duga:"Fadoodle her."

Vedro:"You heard him, bitch!"

Aelleewu:She is sent into Vedro's knee, hitting it before being sent back flying onto the machine

"AH!'

Vedro:"Tell me, or it's your back."

Duga:"Please don't tell him."

Vedro:"Stop!"

Charms! (-28)

Aelleewu:Makes a Willpower Check! (103)

She has wills of steals

Vedro:"Alright, that's it."

He goes to throw her onto the ground, next to an empty wall

Makes a Strength Check! (124)

Aelleewu:Toughs it Out! (89)

"NO!"

She can no nothing to stop from being thrown

Vedro:He rolls his neck, takes a breath, then goes to take two steps up the wall, and then do a elbow drop onto her spine

Attacks! (145)

Aelleewu:Defends! (111)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:She tries her best to move out of the way but the fadoolding happens

They are able to hear a crunch and a crack as she goes to raise her hands for a tap out but once Vedro lands on her, that's it

Vedro:He stands up, and rolls his neck again, before looking down, "So! Where is he?!"

Makes a Strength Check! (90)

Aelleewu:Makes a Willpower Check! (50)

Vedro:He leans forward, looking down at her, as he flexes, Sammy Guns style

Aelleewu:She looks at a coffin on the other side of the room, leaning against a wall

Vedro:"..." He takes a breath, as he runs over to the coffin, and goes to open it

Makes a Strength Check! (147)

Aelleewu:Toughs it Out! (79)

Duga:Lucks Out! (38)

Aelleewu:The lid has nothing on this metal rodian machine as it goes flying, slamming into Duga

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:As Vedro looks in the coffin he finds Ashhera laying on the ground of it with the smell of ship fuel taking over his and Duga's sense, even burning Vedro's eyes

Duga:Completely unprepared, he is squished, sending his feet crashing through a couple of pebbles

Vedro:"W..." He takes a breath, as he rubs his eyes, "NO!"

He tries to fight through it to check Ashhera's vitals

Perceives! (61)

Ashhera:Toughs it Out! (76)

Vedro isn't able to tell right off the bat what state Ashhera is in

Vedro:"..."

Perceives! (135)

Ashhera:Toughs it Out! (116)

After a recheck, Vedro is able sense that Ashhera is just on the brink of death

Vedro:He goes to focus on trying to resuscitate Ashhera

Duga:He digs himself out from under the coffin door, before standing

Aelleewu:As Vedro goes to help Ashhera stay alive, Duga is attacked by the Bitch as she fights to stand

Attacks! (48)

Duga:Defends! (52)

He sidesteps

"Oh, you're still alive." He goes to grab her throat

Attacks! (79)

Aelleewu:Defends! (72)

She does her best to dodge, and if it wasn't for the fodoodle, she may have been able to

Vedro:(2)

Aelleewu:As he grabs her throat, she grabs his hand and before too long, she tries to hit him again

Attacks! (100)

Duga:He raises his other hand

Defends! (120)

He looks back to Vedro "Are we finished with her?"

Vedro:His eyes water up, as he decides to finish the job, before going to fix Ashhera up, as he turns and runs up behind Aellewu, going to wrap his arms around her stomach, and give her a German suplex

Attacks! (168)

Aelleewu:Defends! (113)

Vedro:Does (24) Damage!

Aelleewu:Once again... she tries.. but that's all she does

Vedro:He then tosses her to the side, and says, "Do what you want with her..." As he rushes back for Ashhera to do intensive care

Aelleewu:Makes a Willpower Check! (63)

Blood spurts from her head as she lays on the ground, fading in and out of consciousness

Duga:"How about you share a similar fate to your husband?" He turns on his saber

Aelleewu:Nothing but whimpers come

Duga:He makes her into a quadriplegic

Ashhera:With Duga tending to Aelleewu, Vedro tends to Ashhera as the Bith lays passed out from a variety of reasons

Vedro:He's completely silent, as he goes to stay focused and get to work on Ashhera, going to remove him from the coffin and put him somewhere else to work on him

Duga:He tosses her in the coffin

limbs*

He sets her up in the chair, facing the coffin

Aelleewu:She can do nothing but cry in pain

Duga:"Watch what happens when you cross the wrong people." He uses his blade to light the star fuel in the coffin and seal her limbs in it

Aelleewu:She passes out from shock

Duga:He returns to Vedro and Ashhera "When he is stable, we should head back."

Vedro:"Yea... just give me some time to work on him."

Duga:He nods

Vedro:"You can start back if you want, I'll be here for a while."

Duga:"Don't take too long then." He starts to make his way back

Vedro:He keeps working on Ashhera

Narrator:It takes a few hours for Vedro to get Ashhera in a stable state, however he does eventually get him in one and recalls a small wagon at the edge of the town when they entered

Vedro:He carries Ashhera over his shoulders, and goes to put something like hay into the wagon as bedding, before going to pull it back towards where they came from

Narrator:There isn't much in terms of bedding but he finds enough non burnt grass to work for the time being

(To Duga): "I don't think I can get on Iskalon. The planet is covered with Elero troopers and Purg's brotherhood. I can pick you up on the next planet."

(From Duga): "It will have to do."

(To Duga): "Sorry."

Narrator:It takes some time before Duga finds his way back to the village, where he can find a man embracing Isa by the slave cage, Tyzen sitting against the wall beside them with his arms crossed, a trooper climbing on top of one of the houses, Marko isn't in view while Vedro isn't too far behind him

Vek:He's staying near Tyzen and Isa

Duga:He starts toward Vek "I take it that the trooper isn't an enemy seeing as he's climbing around."

Olivar:He's still a little pissy, as he stands near Vek, just trying to get his bearings straight

Vek:"Well, he's not exactly our friend, but, for now he's fine."

Duga:"So what's happened since we left?"

Vek:"I think we're plotting a coup."

Duga:"Excuse me?"

Vek:He nods "How'd it go on your end?"

Duga:"The bith is alive and his mistress has paid for her actions."

Vek:He looks down a bit, shaking his head "I see.."

Vedro:He's pulling the cart behind him, on his way up

Cyler:After getting caught up with Isa, Cyler looks to Duga before looking back to Vek

"Is this another friend of yours?"

Vek:"He's part of our crew, yes."

Duga:He looks over Cyler

"And is he the one we were waiting for?"

Cyler:"Good, we will need all the help we can get."

Cyler offers his hand to Duga

"It's nice to meet you, alien."

Duga:He looks to Vek "He's part of this coup then?"

Vek:He looks to Cyler "Well, I'm hoping he's the golden ticket."

Cyler:He takes his hand back and looks to Vek

"I suspect your friend isn't very well mannered."

Vek:"Don't mind him."

Duga:"I won't."

Olivar:"..."

Cyler:Cyler looks to Duga and thinks for a moment before looking back to Vek

"I suppose in time of need, you take what you can get."

Vek:"Well, he came aboard as a favor."

"And since then we were under the impression we were being chased..though that is starting to seem less and less likely."

"Me and Olivar spoke of this earlier, but our goal has changed, slightly."

Duga:"I'd like to know when this happened?"

Olivar:"Earlier."

Cyler:"Does this plan include helping Isa and myself?"

Vek:"Yes."

Cyler:"Oh, good, then I would like to hear this recap as well."

Duga:"So the goal of dealing with the Leats is simply abandoned?"

Isa:"Thank you."

Vek:He shakes his head "Not entirely..I have a feeling we will have to put a stop to the leats."

"But right now, the purgs are our immediate threat."

Duga:"They are a distraction."

Vek:"They are ruining peoples lives."

Olivar:"..."

Tyzen:Tyzen pushes off the wall and heads into the cage to help people again

Olivar:He leans against a wall, thinking

Duga:"What good is helping them if we are abducted by the Leats?"

Vek:"From what we learned of Solstice's intentions, I'm doubting more and more that any leats are after us, in particular."

Olivar:"It's more of a broad thing, from what I can tell."

Vek:"Plus...the leats, the purgs, whatever else, It doesn't matter. The people have had enough."

"Every fucking planet we go to is filled to the knees in slaves."

"Everyone's miserable."

"And people are just..stuck with it."

Duga:"Only those that don't have the will to make it change."

He shakes his head "Not that arguing will get us anywhere. It never has."

Vek:"It's hard to find the will when you've been beaten to the ground since birth, Duga."

"But that's why we have to stop all of this."

"We have to free Iskalon."

"Show people they can fight back, they can claim their own futures."

Duga:"A lofty goal."

Olivar:"Is it any different from taking down two warlords?"

"It's about the same difficulty, in my book."

Vek:"One with a bit more substance than track someone we've never met across the galaxy just to get ourselves killed, in my opinion."

tracking*

Olivar:He nods

Duga:"Freeing one world is like treating a symptom rather than the cause. Whatever the case, you should see to the Bith."

Vek:"...Regardless, this is the path I'm moving forward towards. If you don't want to follow that, I'll harbor no ill will towards you, but if you can't back us 100%, it's best for you to depart." He then nods, and goes to get a look on Ashhera

Olivar:*He follows8

Duga:He looks to Cyler "If you plan to fight the Purgs, you better have a plan."

you're going to*

Olivar:"Well...people don't seem to like these guys, right?"

Cyler:"There is already a revolt happening."

Olivar:"Yeah."

"So, we take out the leadership, it falls apart. It's just a gang."

Cyler:"We can go there, and when they see Isa has come back for them, they will be willing to follow her."

Olivar:"A really, really powerful one."

"But still a gang."

Vek:"Go where, exactly?"

Cyler:"To Padapon city."

"One of the only places on the planet that neither to Elero or the Purgs have taken over."

"It is where the loyalist have made home."

Duga:"What's to stop them from bombing the city?"

Cyler:"Nothing."

Olivar:"..."

Vek:"...Good answer."

Cyler:"That I know of, but they haven't done so yet, so there must be a reason."

Vek:"Alright, well, we don't need to waste any more time."

Olivar:"...could they be trying to draw more people in to then bomb it?"

Cyler:"If that's the case, they've waited a long time."

Vek:"Let's just forget the whole getting bombed thing."

Duga:"Until they find out there is a rebellion leader there. Then we'll be forgotten."

Vek:"....Look, Duga, you're not helping."

Duga:"I'm helping me stay alive

."*

Cyler:"What of these poor souls?"

Cyler asks, nodding towards the freed slaves that are still in pretty bad shape

Vek:he shrugs "I'm not sure what else to do for them. We can't sit here and nurse every single one back to health."

"And they can't stay here, either."

"They're surely going to send more troops down to investigate, eventually."

Tyzen:Tyzen steps out and says

"I would ask if they could come with us but.. A couple of them still can't walk."

"Harrip's legs are broken in three different places."

"Or so says Olivar."

Olivar:"...what?"

"I haven't even talked to you in like...three days."

Tyzen:"You didn't tell me, but I heard you say it."

Duga:"Leave them to their own devices. It isn't like we have the resources to deal with them."

Vek:"I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we can't do that."

Olivar:He shakes his head, not even knowing who Harrip is

Isa:"As much as I don't want to leave them, there isn't much we can do for them, Vek."

Olivar:"Come on, there's gotta be something."

Duga:"If they are resourceful, they will evade capture. If not, there is little to be done."

Isa:"Like your crew mate said, we don't have the resources to bring them, and as far as I know, there aren't any places around here that are safe for them to wait."

Vedro:"Hold on, now..." He said, approaching

"If you want, I can take care of the slaves."

Olivar:"...now, that sounds like a good plan...but we need a doctor."

Duga:"There is still the issue of resources."

Olivar:"I specialize in dealing with minor trauma and parasite removal...not anything big."

Vedro:"I see... and don't worry, I don't plan on it being a permanent situation."

Vek:"Where's Marko?"

Vedro:"..." He looked around, "No idea."

Tyzen:"I'm pretty sure she's still with the troopers in that building."

Vek:He nods, and begins for that building

Marko:Vek enters the building to find Marko sitting against the wall just beside the door watching the two remaining troopers

Vek:He goes to look over the troopers

Stormtrooper:One of the troopers are cuffed with Olivar's cuffs, as the second one lays on the floor with his arms crossed behind his head, looking up to the opening in the ceiling

The cuffed one looks to Vek as he walks in and says

"This sucks."

Vek:"Yea?"

Stormtrooper:"Yea."

Vek:"Well, I'll let you two out."

Stormtrooper:The cuffed one jumps on his knees and says

"Really?!"

"We're free?!"

Vek:"Not yet."

"I need you to do something for me."

Stormtrooper:"Yea, yea, anything."

"What?"

Vek:"My doctor is going to stay behind to tend to more of the slaves. And the two of you are going to help defend this town."

Stormtrooper:"Defend it? Man, I want to leave it!"

Vek:"As soon as the rodian leaves, you're free to go."

he looks to Marko "And he'll be the one in charge of you two."

Marko:Marko looks to Vek and then to the troopers before looking back to Vek and asking

"Wait, you're leaving?"

Vek:he nods

Marko:"Where?"

Vek:"We're going to fight for the resistance. I need you to watch Vedro's back. I'm trusting you on this, Marko."

Marko:Marko gives Vek a salute and says

"Yes, Captain."

Marko looks back to the troopers

Olivar:He starts walking in

Vek:"Treat 'em well, Captain Marko."

Olivar:"What's going on?"

Marko:"ca-c-c-c-c-... Captain?"

Vek:"..Not ship Captain Marko, though."

"Just...2 stormtrooper captain Marko."

Marko:"It's a rank up none the less.'

Vek:He just nods at him, and looks to Olivar "We should get leaving as soon as possible. The longer we wait for this, the more likely something goes wrong."

Olivar:"What's going to happen to the two troopers?"

Vek:"We're conscripting them."

Olivar:"...well...I guess I should get my cuffs back."

Vek:he nods, and goes out, letting Olivar wrap it up

Olivar:He walks over to the trooper, and uncuffs him. "Welcome aboard."

Stormtrooper:"God.. damn it man."

Olivar:He pockets the cuffs and walks out

Stormtrooper:The trooper that was laying down finally sits up and looks at Marko

"So.. Captain.. What do we do?"

Duga:"When they run or turn on you, don't be surprised."

omit*

Cyler:"So is the licba staying with them?"

Vek:"The what?"

Vedro:"The what?"

"That's fucked up."

Vek:"What?"

Duga:"These people."

Vedro:"Yea, I'm staying for now. I'll meet up with all of you later."

Duga:"Lets get this over with then."

Cyler:"..."

Cyler leans towards Vek and says loud enough for everyone to hear

"Can we trust him?"

Vedro:"Yea, you can."

Vek:"You need to fucking stop right now."

Cyler:"Stop what?"

Vek:"...."

"Yes."

"You can trust my doctor."

Cyler:"Alright, then I hope that you do not... Do what you do."

Cyler says giving Vedro a nod before beginning the walk

Olivar:"..."

Vedro:"... You hope I don't doctor?"

Vek:"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

Ayeser:Ayeser calls out to them from atop a nearby building

"Are we leaving!?"

Duga:"In this day and age.." He shakes his head

Isa:"I'm sorry, but.. You should know now that a lot of people on Iskalon is like that."

Vek:"Well, they're about to learn to fucking stop when we fix this shit."

Duga:"Another lofty goal."

Vek:"I'm starting a collection."

Isa:Isa nods and begins walking as well

Tyzen:"Where are they going?"

Tyzen says from the doorway of the cage

Vek:"...I guess they're goin',"

"Vedro, be careful."

He goes to follow

Tyzen:Tyzen follows Vek

"We're going to help the people her?"

here*

Vek:"That's the plan."

Duga:"As terrible as it is."

Vedro:"You too." He waves, "Good luck."

Olivar:He pats Vedro on the shoulder "Good luck to you too."

Vedro:"Thanks man. I'll meet up with you guys. Give them hell."

Olivar:He fingerguns

Narrator:With several hours passing, Cyler leads them down a long not too harsh path that eventually leads to the top of a hill, from the top of the hill Cyler stops and says

Cyler:"That's it."

"The big city."

From this place, they group is able to see the city has large walls and it's towers past the clouds as the walls have people in make shift armor sitting on them. From the angel they're at, they see two gates to enter the city, one less guarded than the other but the other has more friendly looking people with less armor and weaponry

"It's not much to look at from down here but trust me."

angle*

Vek:"So...they just going to let us in?"

Cyler:"They will when they see Princess Isa has come to help them."

(From Duga): "This looks like a deathtrap."

Cyler:"You all will be treated like heros... I and Ayeser on the other hand... Maybe killed on sight."

"Actually, it may be best if he and I wait here."

Vek:"Good idea."

Cyler:heroes*

Vek:He stretches his legs a bit "Alright, Fellas, Princess, let's not waste anymore time."

Duga:He keeps his hands in his robe arms "Let's."

Isa:"Once again, thank you all for helping me."

Olivar:"No problem..." He tightens his helmet "...let's get this show on the road."

Isa:Isa begins down the hill, towards the city gates

Vek:He's a go-go-go goin

Tyzen:Tyzen follows

Duga:He's moving

Olivar:He walks along

(To Duga): "Do you think this is a good idea?"

(From Duga): "Not in the slightest."

Human:As they approach the gates three of the of men on the walls of the gate aim at them, one of them calling out

"Say your name and business!"

Isa:She raises her hands and lowers her hood

"We are here to speak to your leader!"

Human:As she reveals her face, the group of people lower their guns and stare at her before another one walks over and aims a pistol at her, saying

"Why?"

Isa:"To help!"

Human:The three previous men begin talking amongst each other while the one with the pistol continues to aim at her

"If I wasn't going to be decapitated for killing you, I would shoot you right now."

"But."

(To Olivar): Olivar recognizes the name Zolba as a previous partner of his

Human:"You may enter and speak to Zolba."

Olivar:"..Z-Zolba?"

"...what does he look like?"

Human:"However know that if any of you make any moves we see as a treat, we will gun all of you down without a second thought."

Duga:"I like these people."

Vek:"...."

Human:"Raise the gate."

The one with the pistol says as he lowers it and looks to the other three

After a few seconds the gate is raised, revealing a place that Olivar could feel at home, with the exceptions of the towers, the inside of the walls are nothing but a garbage dump

Olivar:"...they just fucking ig-"

"..."

Vek:"Take it easy, Olivar."

"You know a Zolba?"

Olivar:"Yeah, once upon a time."

He's seems to be starstruck by this place

Isa:Isa enters and begins towards one of the towers, saying

"Please, follow me."

Olivar:He follows, reminiscing on days long gone

Tyzen:Tyzen stands beside Duga and as the gate lifts, showing the dump inside, he looks to him and asks

"Is this really their city?"

Duga:"If you can call it that."

Vek:He just goes to follow Isa, looking back at Duga and Tyzen and urging them to pick it up

Duga:He's not far behind

Tyzen:Tyzen makes sure to be within reach of the group

Isa:"The ground floor of the city isn't much to look at. It's the upper levels of the towers that make up the nice appeal of it."

Olivar:His good memories are soon replaced with the many, many bad ones, as the trash starts to depress him

"...when can we hurry up and get to this place?"

Human:As she continues on towards the towers, a man stops in front of her and asks

"What are you doing out of your home. It's curfew."

Isa:"We were told to talk to a man named Zolba."

Human:"Zolba?... He's in there."

The man says pointing towards a rusty broken ship that looks odly enough like the one Olivar grew up in

Olivar:"...this is...getting weird..."

Vek:"Yea?"

Olivar:"...yeah, that looks like where I gre up."

Isa:Isa nods to the man and begins towards the ship turned house

Olivar:*grew up

"Not in a Oh, that's cool way, but in a creepy kinda way."

Vek:"Guess Isa's not the only one comin' home."

Olivar:"Guess so."

Vek:he follows

Zolba:As they enter they see a man that Olivar thought was long dead standing over a table, as he listens to one of the humans on the other side, the room of the ship is full of men of various outfits and rolls as they seem to be talking about defenses

Olivar:He stops, and starts to faint, needing to find something to hold onto

"O-Oh man..."

Isa:Upon entering, Isa waits for the man to stop talking before asking

"Who here is Zolba?"

Olivar:He points

Zolba:The group of people turn to look to Isa as Zolba says

"I am, lass."

Olivar:He shakes his head, gaining his footing

"Zolba..."

Zolba:The droid looks to Olivar and says

"That is I."

Isa:Isa looks back to Olivar, letting him speak

Olivar:He takes off his helmet "I...I thought you were dead..."

Vek:He blinks and steps back

Zolba:"Olivar?.. No, it can't be."

"You're dead."

"Who are you?"

Olivar:"...No, it's me! Olivar! W-Wait!"

"You're supposed to be the dead one!"

(To Olivar): As Zolba tells this story, he recalls the rolls being different

Zolba:"No, no. I remember clearly, you pushed me aside to save me from being devoured by that monstrous beast. The space worm."

Olivar:"Wha-wh-..."

Zolba:"It was our fourteenth job."

Olivar:"I...I thought you were eaten by the worm!"

"What the fuck?!"

Zolba:"Was I?... Maybe that's why I have dreams of being inside a worm's stomach."

Olivar:"Well no shit!" He starts laughing

Zolba:"I thought it was you reaching out to me."

"Wait.. was it one really big worm.. or two smaller worms?

"Well, no matter, you're here and so am I."

Olivar:"Yeah! It's...it's real great to see you again!"

Zolba:"It's good to greet you once again, old friend."

Olivar:He goes to give him a firm handshake

Zolba:The commando droid gives Olivar and good hand shake before looking back to the others

"We will have to speak at another time. For now, who are you?"

Olivar:He puts back on his helmet

Isa:"I am Isa of Iskalon, your friend has helped me several times, and now his friends have helped me get here."

Zolba:The room of people begin talking amongst one another as Zolba looks to Isa and asks curiously

"Isa? My word, I thought you were dead."

"Isa as in the princess?"

Isa:"Yes."

Zolba:"Good, no offense, but your mother is a rotten bitch."

Isa:"I agree."

Zolba:"Good, now that's out of the way. Condolences for your father."

Human:"We heard you left?"

One of the men say while another says

"I heard she died?"

Isa:"Well.. one is more true than the other. I did leave, but only after my mother sent an assassin after me."

Zolba:The group of people begin to rabble as Zolba asks

"Why did you come back?"

Isa:"Because I heard that you were fighting and I knew that I couldn't just abandon you."

Zolba:"Well.. I don't know if that's noble or stupid, but either way, we have no need for a child."

Isa:"But.. I'm the princess, don't you need a leader?"

Zolba:"We have one, and no disrespect but we have one with experience."

Duga:He chuckles

Isa:"Oh.. Right.. Of course... But can I meet with him?"

Zolba:"That is up to him. I can give you the code to go to the upper parts of the city however only he can make the choice to grant you an audience."

Olivar:"Who is it?"

Isa:*Isa nods and says thank you8

Zolba:"Yur Kotha. You may find him in the tallest tower in upper level of the city."

"The code to enter this level is 0-1-2-45."

Isa:"Again, thank you."

With the code and place in mind, she leaves the group around the table, her eyes dim with sadness as she begins to make her way to one of the towers

Olivar:He gives Zolba another handshake, and then follows

Tyzen:"Huh.. That was easy."

Tyzen says to Duga as he walks over, dragging Duga along*

Vek:He glances at that, chuckling a bit, as he follows Isa, staying up near Olivar

Duga:"It is only the beginning."

Zolba:"It was nice seeing you again, my friend and partner. Hopefully it will not be the last."

The droid says as he shakes his hand

Olivar:"We'll have plenty of time to catch up after all this is settled."

Isa:As the group makes it to one of the bottom of the towers, she finds a man sitting in front of the tower

"Is this the elevator?"

Human:The man looks to Isa and then to the group

"It is if you have the code."

Isa:"O one two forty five."

Human:"It's actually a zero but close enough."

He stands steps to the side and opens the door

Tyzen:Tyzen is the first aboard, right before Isa

Olivar:He rolls his eyes, and walks in

Vek:"....That boy.."

He goes to follow after him and Isa

Duga:He's in after

Tyzen:After getting on together, Tyzen looks over to Vek and asks

"Don't you think this place is kind of strange?"

Vek:"Everywhere I go is strange."

Isa:Isa keeps her head low as the elevator begins going up

Olivar:He just nods his head to inaudible music

Human:It takes several minutes for the elevator to finally stop and open, along they way the air got more and more heavy. As the doors open, they find a man standing in front of the door as he says

"Hello! Welcome to Padapon city!"

As he says this, the group can see in the background a large nice looking city, filled with people and speeders flying among the sky

Vek:"What the fuck?"

Olivar:"..."

Duga:"How grand a sight when you ignore those on the ground." He chuckles

Vek:He tries to keep his thoughts to himself

Human:The group can see a larger than life city in front of them

"I am Mike, and I can tell you where to go."

He says with a smile

Vek:"Then please, do."

Human:"What do you want to do?"

Isa:"I wish to speak with Yur Kotham."

Human:"It's Kotha, but close enough. He lives in the center of the city. Go right over to that droid taxi and ask it to take you to Yur tower."

"As for the rest of you.. What do you want to do?"

"Anything special? Want to see something?"

"Anything at all, I can help you out, right now."

Tyzen:"I want you to leave me alone."

Vek:"We're going with her."

Human:"Can do."

The human says giving Vek a salute, as he lowers his hand he gives Tyzen the bird

Duga:He can't help but laugh

Olivar:He also laughs

Tyzen:Tyzen doesn't even notice as he runs over with Isa as she goes to enter the taxi

Olivar:"That was...that was a smooth transition."

Vek:He's not laughing, and follows after Tyzen

Human:"Thank you."

Duga:He shakes his head a bit and follows along

Unknown:As they pile in, the droid looks back to them and asks

"Where to, humans?"

Isa:"Yur tower."

Unknown:The droid turns on a song and says before his head starts going up and down in turn with the music*

"Can do!"

Olivar:He's disappointed in the lack of underground droid raps

Tyzen:With everyone in the taxi, the speeder starts going as they pass Tyzen looks to Duga as this part is the complete opposite of what they were just looking at and says with confusion

"This place is... I don't really like it."

Duga:"You are not the only one, I'm sure."

Tyzen:Tyzen goes back to looking out the window, watching this utopia pass by as everything is really nice, and the people walk around with smiles on their face and love in the air. The vibe isn't of a rebellion or people struggling, it's instead of happiness and joy, something that should not be the case

Duga:"The irony here is almost palpable."

Vek:"Mhm." He mumbles out from his mask

Olivar:He feels uncomfortable watching the city run by, and it shows

Isa:After several minutes go by, they finally reach this city and exit the taxi, not having to pay anything

Tyzen:As he gets out, he looks up at the small tower in front of him, seeing that above the tower is a landing pad for speeders and ships as they fill the sky above and looks back to Vek

"Is this the right place?"

Vek:"I can only assume."

Isa:"I hope so."

Vek:"I don't think this is going to go in our favor, though."

Isa:"This place is.. It's not what I expected a rebel base to look like."

Olivar:He hops out "Regardless...we gotta try."

Vek:"Because it's not."

Duga:He simply steps out and watches this

Vek:"Down there? With Zolba? Those were rebels."

Isa:Isa nods with Vek's words

"I agree, it's more of what I was expecting."

With that, she heads into the building

Tyzen:Tyzen follows behind Vek, they let Isa talk her way to this Yur, and are guided to his chamber

Isa:Isa stops in front of the door that is said to be his office and looks back to the group, saying

"I.. I don't think I can do this."

"I mean.. Everyone seems to happy, it's like the war isn't even happening here and here I come, talking about how I want to help people but they... They don't need my help."

Vek:"Bullshit."

Isa:"What do you mean?"

Vek:"You know just as well as me that isn't true."

"These people are just trying to ignore what's going on, getting lost in their delusions."

"You saw just like all of us what was happening in that village."

"Your people do need you."

Isa:"... But.."

Isa bows her head for a second as a few tears drop

"What if make things worse?"

Duga:"Then you make things worse. But, as much as I don't care, you can only improve the situation of those on the ground."

Isa:Isa nods and says

"I guess you're right.. I have to at least try, and show my people that I didn't just abandon them."

After saying this, Isa swings the doors to open and they are hit with waves of music as the supposed to be office appears to be more of a night club with people dancing and drinking, the room is dim with neon lights being the only form of light

Vek:"....."

Olivar:"...I'm beginning to get a little pissed."

Duga:"Such excess."

Vek:"..Let's just find this mother fucker.."

Human:As they make their way through the crowd of party goers, they eventually get to a small pocket where no one passes

Vek:he passes

Human:*As Vek enters he is almost kicked in the face as a man slides in dancing, doing a bunch of flips with the immediate crowd going "OHH!"

Vek:"...." He just clenches his fist and steps to the side a bit, looking around

Olivar:He starts trying to push his way with Vek

Duga:He goes around the circle

Human:As Olivar enters another man comes out dancing on the opposite side of the first and starts dancing in front of him as the other gets in front of Vek, not letting him go any further, still dancing

Duga:He stops, looking in now

Vek:"Fuck off."

Olivar:"You know there's a fucking war, right?"

"Like, villages of people being enslaved and dying."

"And it's not happening on another continent or anything, it's happening just barely an hour away."

Human:The first man to enter finally finishes his moves and points to Vek as the other finishes his moves by doing the splits and finger guns Olivar as the immediate crowd, even around Duga, go wild with excitement

Olivar:"..."

Human:The first guy says

"Your go, bitch."

Vek:He holds his hand out

Vek Uses Force Push!

Vek:Uses the Force! (200)

Human:Toughs it Out! (51)

The man's got nothing as he is pushed back into the crowd as the other looks to him and says

"Hey man!?"

"That's cheating coming in here with your weird space magic!"

Olivar:He keeps walking

Human:The man looks to Olivar and swings as he goes to walk on

"Not happening!"

Attacks! (49)

(From Duga): 1

Duga:He grooves a bit while waiting for them to deal with these people

Olivar:Defends! (103)

He goes to headbutt him

Attacks! (112)

Human:Defends! (39)

Olivar Uses Alter Damage!

Olivar:Does (32) Damage!

Human:Getting hit in the face, the man drops to the ground

Olivar:He rolls back his shoulders, looks to Vek, and then keeps walking

Human:Vek's opponent gets up and looks to him before saying

"That wasn't very nice."

Vek:He goes to grab him by the collar, as he goes to swing him over his head, back onto the ground

Duga:He's about halfway through the crowd

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (92)

Human:Defends! (102)

As Vek gets near him, the man hopes back

Donaly:The then takes out two hilts and before anyone realizes, there are two more lights in the club

He then*

Duga:Upon the sounds of a lightsaber, he starts back toward the circle

Donaly:"I've given you one warning. This is the second. Leave now because there will not be a third."

Human:The crowd start backing up away from them as Duga begins making his way back

Olivar:He looks around, hears a lightsaber, and then begins panicing "Oh god damnit!"

Vek:"I hope you know how to use those things."

Olivar:He tries to push against the crowd

Donaly:"Then a fight it shall be."

Olivar:He stumbles into the circle "Wh-WHOAH!"

"Hold up!"

Donaly:Donaly looks to Olivar and says

"So it's a two on one? Not a fair game, but I'm down."

(From Duga): He flicks his finger, trying to pull the lightsabers from his hands

Donaly:"Let's go, yo."

Olivar:"Now, I think that this entire place is fucking disgusting, but we're on the same god damn team!"

Duga:Uses the Force! (104)

Donaly:Toughs it Out! (68)

Olivar:"So, how about we calm down?"

Donaly:His lightsaber flies from his hand and into the crowd, cutting down several of the crowd members

"Wha- Hey."

Olivar:He looks to Vek "Wh-What the hell?!"

Human:The crowd of people begin screaming as they start to panic

Duga:"You really need to learn to control yourself. Look at all of those poor people."

Vek:"Wasn't me." He looks to Duga

Olivar:He slowly looks to Duga

"..."

Donaly:"So you have another friend?"

Olivar:"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"WHY?!"

Donaly:"A three on one?"

"This is getting silly."

Vek:"It's a fucking none of one, you asshole."

on one *

Olivar:He looks to Donaly "Can anyone of this fucking planet learn to listen to reason?!"

"You're jumping to retarded conclusions as we are actively saying we aren't fighting!"

Duga:"They usually turn off when tugged from someone's hand."

Olivar:He looks to Duga "You're EVEN MORE of a piece of shit!"

Duga:He then shrugs

Olivar:He turns back to Donaly

Duga:He turns the saber off

"It does work well, though."

Olivar:"You are not making this better."

Donaly:"You've killed four of my friends."

Vek:"We've done no such thing."

Donaly:"Your friend has."

Olivar:"Wh-yeah!"

"That's now we!"

• not

Duga:"Your idling has killed and enslaved thousands. Your point?"

Olivar:"..."

"I mean..."

he didn't even think of it like that

Donaly:"I made my decisions, they made theirs."

Vek:"What the fuck?"

"They didn't decide to fucking become enslaved, you asshat."

Donaly:"If it wasn't for me, this place would destroyed and enslaved like the rest of the planet."

Vek:"Oh yea?"

Donaly:"Yea."

Vek:"You're some big shot fucking hero?"

Donaly:"I made a deal."

Vek:"Savior of the poor and weak? Champion of this cit-"

Olivar:"Man, you look-"

Donaly:"I don't claim to be no hero."

Vek Uses Force Push!

Olivar:He goes to slam him into the ground with the force afterwards

Vek:Uses the Force! (201)

Donaly:Toughs it Out! (58)

(From Duga): He pockets the saber

Donaly:With no bodies stopping him, Donaly is thrown back across the room, slamming into the wall, nearly breaking through it

Vek:Does (26) Damage, With the Force!

Olivar Uses Force Push!

Olivar:Uses the Force! (148)

Donaly:Toughs it Out! (28)

Olivar:Does (15) Damage, With the Force!

Donaly:The man just can not fight force powers

He is slammed into the ground, as blood drips from his mouth with his lip pretty busted, he stands up and looks to the three as most of the crowd have ran out, Isa stands near a wall letting the crew take care of this

"Alright, I was all fair for a physical fight but these no touch sports are really grinding my balls."

Vek:"What kind of fucking deal did you make!?"

Duga:"More importantly, where is Yur Kotha?"

Donaly:With a growl, the man looks to Vek and says

"One that makes Padapon city safe."

Olivar:"Stop with the fucking vagueness!"

Donaly:With a glance to Duga he says

"I'll tell you when you give me my blade back."

Olivar:"You're not in a position to negotiate."

"You're just not."

Vek:"Duga, give him his stupid fucking lightsaber back."

Duga:"Such a childish person should not have such power." He tosses it back

Donaly:As it's tossed back, Donaly takes the saber and reignites it, looking to the four people in the room as Tyzen peaks inside

"Yur Kotha is right here."

"I am Donaly Yur Kotha."

Vek:"......"

Duga:"And you lead the rebellion?"

Donaly:"And this is my city."

"No, I just say that for outsiders."

"Truth is, there is no rebellion."

Olivar:"...you're a fucking pussy."

Vek:He starts shaking

Olivar:"You're a piece of shit."

"I get it."

Vek:"Alright."

Olivar:"You sold those people into slavery?!"

"Didn't you?!"

Vek:"You think you're some kinda fucking badass?"

Donaly:"I don't claim to be a badass, I simply made the deal."

Vek:"What fucking deal?!"

Olivar:"What was this deal, huh? I wanna hear from you're own whore mouth."

Donaly:"If we don't attack, they will leave our city alone."

Olivar:"I fucking knew it!"

Vek:"Okay."

"That's it."

"Right now."

"I'm kicking your ass."

Olivar:"Fisticuffs."

Vek:"No,"

"We'

"Are kicking your ass."

"We'll take turns."

"Until you do the right thing."

Donaly:"And what do you think that is?"

Vek:"Well, for one, stop telling people you lead a fucking rebellion when you're just a dumb piece of shit."

Duga:"Miss, Isa. I think we do have a rebellion leader position open. You're going to do a great job, I'm sure."

Vek:"Then, you're going to give us unlimited access to this city's resources, for the sake of the rebellion."

Isa:Isa looks to Duga and nods with a smile and eyes still ripe with sadness before saying

"Thank you."

Donaly:"You can kill me before I let you kill what's left of the good people of Iskalon."

Olivar:He looks around

"These are the good people?"

"No."

"Those fuckers down there? Living in your garbage?"

"Those planning on doing something?"

"They're the good ones."

Donaly:"Enough talking!"

Donaly says as he turns his lightsabers to reverse grip and says before wiping the blood from his chin

"Let's do this shit, yo."

Duga:He flicks his hand

Olivar:"How do you sleep at night?" He pulls out his green saber

Duga Uses Force Push!

Duga:Uses the Force! (87)

Olivar:"How do you justify being just a huge piece of shit?"

Donaly:Toughs it Out! (23)

Olivar:"Of betraying thousands of people?"

Duga:Does (17) Damage, With the Force!

"I would reconsider."

Donaly:"Ah!"

He grunts as he is thrown into one of the statues near him

"God damn it!"

"Stop!"

Vek:"Alright, everyone, stop."

"Let the man get a shot in."

Donaly:"Your ghost witch powers are fucking annoying."

Duga:"I'd rather him not."

Donaly:The man stands and rolls his neck, cracking it before starting to walk towards them

Vek:He stands, a hand in his robes "Ah, come on, show us what you got."

Donaly:Donaly charges for Vek, swinging one of his blades

Attacks! (129)

Vek:Defends! (66)

Donaly:Does (31) Damage!

Vek:"He pulls his arm back, his robe smoldering a bit* "...Rude."

He swings for his face

Vek Uses Force Speed!

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (140)

Donaly:Defends! (150)

Donaly ducks under the attack

Olivar:He runs up, swinging his saber

Attacks! (69)

Donaly:Defends! (141)

Donaly takes a step back

Duga:He clasps his hand in his robe

Duga Uses Force Grip!

Duga:Uses the Force! (137)

Donaly:Toughs it Out! (24)

As he goes to attack Olivar back, he finds himself stuck in place, stopping mid swing

He grunts and grits his teeth

Vek:He pulls his saber from his robes, cutting it on, as he swings at him

Vek Uses Force Agility!

Vek:Uses the Force! (195)

Donaly:Defends! (186)

Vek Uses Alter Damage!

Vek:Does (184) Damage!

Donaly:Too focused on being stuck in place, Donaly isn't fast enough to block before he is cut in half, as he went to bring his sabers up to block, they are cut in half with him, destroying the crystals inside as he hits hits the ground, his lower half getting pushed from the sheer force a few feet back as his upper half face slams into the ground and he is put in a state of shock

Olivar:"...god...damnit..."

Vek:He stands there for a moment, not having expected that, as he turns his saber off and starts looking around the room afterwards

Duga:He looks to Isa "The throne is yours."

Olivar:"...how're we going to explain to them their leader was a piece of shit?"

Duga:"With the party."

Vek:He just goes to check Donaly's body

Isa:She walks over and squats down in front of Donaly as he looks up at her, she says, rubbing his hair back

"You did what you could for the good of some.. I'll do what I can for the greater good of all."

With that she closes his eyes as he dies on the cold, not so clean ground of the rave. She then stands up and looks to the others, giving each of them a nod and saying

"I'm sure you're getting annoyed with hearing this but I can not say it enough. Thank you all for helping me and my people. Each of you have done more than anyone else would."

Olivar:He puts up his lightsaber, not sure what to say

Duga:He waves a hand "Let's just move on with what we need to do."

Isa:Having grabbed one of the pieces of both of his lightsabers, Isa walks out of the room as Tyzen peeks in and looks to Vek and then to Duga

Tyzen:"Was that really who we came all this way to see?"

Duga:"Not anymore."

Vek:His eyes are low as he puts his saber back in his robe, raising his mask up a bit higher under his hood, and went to speak, but just let Duga's answer be the end of it

Olivar:He looks around for some form of actual office room

He walks up to the desk, and starts looking through it

Narrator:Olivar only finds glow sticks and death sticks

Olivar:He flips the desk

"God damnit!"

He walks out, somber and pissed

Vek:He had followed out when Olivar went to search the desk

Duga:He floats all of bodies together before leaving

Isa:As the group follow Isa, they find that just outside the door is the crowd of people that were originally partying standing in the hallway looking at the girl who is now talking

"Everyone, please listen to me. The man in there was not who you thought he was."

Human:"You mean the man who stopped the war!?"

One of the people call out from the crowd

Duga:He laughs loudly "Stopped the war?"

Isa:"He didn't stop the war, he merely gave this city a little more time before it's destroyed. He has been leading you, unknowingly, to certain destruction."

Human:"No!"

Olivar:"...wait."

He walks up "You mean to tell me you guys don't know what the fuck's going on outside of here?!"

Isa:"I ha-"

Isa is cut off as Olivar walks up and starts talking

Human:"What are you talking about?!"

Olivar:He looks to Isa "S-Sorry, but let me do this."

"I need to know.l"

He looks to the crowd "You don't know that people are being *slaughtered?!"

Duga:He grabs Olivar's shoulder

Olivar:He seems to be getting really, really angry

Duga:"Let the leader do the leading." He whispers

Olivar:He can feel Olivar shaking slightly "....yeah...yeah..."

Human:"That isn't happening!"

Duga:He then lets go

Olivar:He swallows and walks off the stage

Human:"Look at us, we're happy."

Olivar:Makes a Willpower Check! (43)

He looks like he's about to turn around

Isa:"Please, people, listen. What Olivar said is true. Yur Kotha has only stopped the war here for the time being, not entirely. While all of you sit here the rest of Iskalon is being either enslaved or killed."

Human:"I don't think that's right."

Isa:"Yes, it is. Just take a look at the ground floor."

"You must have some sort of cameras."

Human:"Yea, but Donaly said there was no need to bother with them so we turned them off."

Isa:She has to stop for a moment

"You.. Can you turn them back on?"

Vek:"What the fuck is wrong with you people?"

Olivar:"PEOPLE ARE DYING!"

"BY THE THOUSANDS!"

Human:"What is wrong with you, pal!?"

"Yea, we're up here having fun while you come in trying to scare us with talk of wars."

(From Duga): While standing on the stage where he was when he stopped Olivar, he whispers to Isa "Make them mad for being lied to. Rile them up and you'll have an army on your hands."

Vek:"Where are the goddamn camera controls at?"

Isa:Suddenly the windows explode as a voice that hurts everyone's ears, being loader than humanly possible yells

"STOP!"

Isa Uses Force Voice!

Duga:He winces as he was right next to her

Olivar:*He stumbles back "Wh-hu-"

Isa:Her voice goes back to normal as she continues to yell, but in a more comfortable level as the crowd of people look at her in either awe or fear

"That is enough! The people have this city have been brain washed! I have walked the lands and seen my people on the verge of dying, being left to sleep in their own feces, having to eat Hordo slop with scars of obvious torture! And I come to the place that is supposed to be a rebel base to find parties and smiles!"

"It makes me sick, if I was even half the leader my father was, you all would be beheaded on the spot and if I was even a third of the person my mother is you all would be given the worse possible torture I can think of. Now I will give you this one chance. Either join me in stopping this war and take back our home or die."

Olivar:He knew someone named Hordo

Human:"Well... shit."

One of the people in the crowd says

Olivar:He thinks her mother and farther sound just slightly cruel

Human:The crowd begins to rabble

Every now and then a coherent word sentence comes out

"I don't want to die."

"Is the war really not over."

"I don't trust her."

"Let's fight."

Human:"I'd rather die than join her."

"No one can help us."

Duga:He steps up, turning on his blade and holding in the air to gather attention

Human:"We want Yur Kotha back!"

Olivar:"FUCK YOU!"

Isa:"Yur Kotha is dead."

"If another person mentions his name. They will join him."

Olivar:He looks at Isa, shocked

He looks over to Vek

"..."

Duga:He looks back to Isa, then back to the crowd, trying to not crack a smile

Human:The crowd stops and looks to Duga before looking back to Isa

Olivar:He slowly starts inching his way to Vek

Duga:"People!"

"If you care for a greater good or for only your own hides, I could not care less, but if you don't wish to be turned to ash by those that actually rule this planet, this woman is your only chance."

Olivar:He leans over and whispers to Vek

Human:The people begin to quietly rabble once again

Duga:He puts his saber away "Fight or die. Those are your only choices." He steps backk

Vek:He shakes his head, looking between Olivar and Isa

Olivar:He nods, agreeing

Isa:Giving Duga a nod, Isa steps forward and says

"If you wish to die. Stay in her homes. If you want to help free our people and fight against those that have turned it into a hell, join the rest of the rebels on the ground floor."

Human:"Amongst the garbage?"

Isa:"Amongst your garbage."

Human:"..."

Isa:With that, Isa walks out, the crowd making way for her as she passes

Tyzen:"Hmm.."

Olivar:He looks around

Tyzen:Tyzen lets out as he looks to Vek

Vek:He nods to Tyzen, motioning for him, as he goes to follow closely behind Isa

Human:Everyone seems to be quiet in thought

Duga:He chuckles, making his way in the wake

Olivar:He follows along, looking stately

Human:As they pass, everyone seems to be either in fear or confusion at the state of things before one looks in the room they walked out of and puts their hand on your mouth before saying

"Oh my god!... It's so clean!"

Isa:As they make their way past all of the people and exit the building Isa looks back to the group and say, letting out a big breath of air

"Oh, god that was horrifying!"

She begins to shake as she wipes her fore head and looks back to the group

"That.. That was one of the scariest things I've done.. I'm sorry for stopping what you were saying Olivar but they were really annoying me with everything that's happening and we didn't seem like we were getting anywhere."

Olivar:"No, I'm sorry, I interrupted you....they just...really pissed me off."

Duga:"They'll all be dead soon anyway."

Olivar:"We kinda want them to be soldiers."

"So hopefully not."

Isa:"If they don't join the fight then it is the most likely outcome."

Vek:He remains quiet, his head shifting to whomever is speaking at any moment

Duga:"Either they fight and die or they don't. Either way, the Purgs will be coming since their charade will fall apart soon."

Olivar:"...maybe stay away from any recruitment station."

"You're really fucking bad at selling shit."

Isa:"Actually, thank you Duga."

"I don't think I would have been able to say anything if you hadn't given me the advice."

Olivar:"Future advice; don't do that too often."

Duga:"It was effective, was it not?"

Olivar:"That's why I said too often."

Duga:"Point taken."

Isa:"I don't wish to however this is a delicate time and we don't have much of it."

Duga:"A mob is more useful than dissent. Even if an army would be best."

Isa:"Do you think it went alright?"

Tyzen:"I think you can be loud."

Isa:"Sorry."

Olivar:"...yeah." He looks behind "Though...it doesn't look like they've decided whether they agree or not yet."

Isa:"War is a hard thing to join. It may take a little bit but I believe at least some will join."

"I hope."

Duga:"A call to arms is necessary."

Vek:He just closes his eyes, and leans against a wall of the elevator, thinking

Isa:As he leans against the elevator, it stops and the door opens

"Alright, I guess we can go back to your friend, Olivar and inform him that his leader wasn't actually leading."

Olivar:"Yeah, let's."

Isa:As they say this, an explosion goes off in the not so near distance

"What was that?"

"Are they already attacking? We just got here!?"

Duga:He steps out of the elevator to look around

Vek:He looks up, sighing "Guess we're out of time, then.."

Isa:As they step out of the elevator, they see a group of ships land just outside the building, destroying the floor around them as they continue to fall

"They're attacking ships?"

Isa runs out to look at what's happening

Duga:He follows behind

Vek:He does the same

Isa:As they all run out, Duga is hit on the head by a piece of falling debris

Olivar:He books it as well

Isa:As they look up, they see the entire platform above them as been destroyed by some sort of explosion

"C'mon, we have to get to the ground and get ready to attack back."

Duga:He winces but moves on

Narrator:As Duga starts to move on he hears a piece of metal hit the ground behind him

Duga:He looks back

Narrator:As he looks back, Duga discovers a lightsaber hilt looking back at him(

Duga:He pulls it to him

"What the?"

He turns it on

Narrator:Only sparks fly when he presses the button

Duga:Not surprised, he pockets it and carries on with the group

(To Duga): As he presses the button, Abrack finds himself appearing in front of him

Duga:He stops

(To Vek): Vek is able to feel a slight push go through him, a weird feeling that he has only ever gotten when he made his first lightsaber

Vek:He looks all around "The hell?"

Abrax:As Vek looks behind him, only Vek and Duga are able to see the blue ghost

Olivar:He turns around "What the fuck are you guys waiting on?"

Abrax:"Who? What? Where's the snout hooting bastard?"

Vek:He draws his saber "What the fuck did you do, Duga?"

Duga:"What just happened?"

Tyzen:Tyzen looks at Vek before stopping with Olivar

Abrax:"Did he- was that a gre- Did that idiot throw a thermal detonator at my-" He looks through himself

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Olivar:"..."

"What're you retards doing?"

Duga:He look at Vek then back at Abrax

Vek:"There-"

He goes to touch Abrax

Abrax:He goes right through Abrax, exasperating the screams

Vek:"...There's uh.."

"Ghost?"

Olivar:"..."

Isa:"You can talk to your ghosts later, for now let's go!"

Isa calls out to them as she keeps running

Duga:He looks at the lightsaber

Abrax:He stops after a second, standing "Solstice and her maniacs. I swear...."

Duga:"Let's get to safety before we do anything." He tears his eyes away and starts after Isa

Vek:"S-solstice? It knows Solstice? Does everything have to connect?" He shakes his head, and goes to keep running

(To Abrax): The further Duga gets, the weaker Abrax feels and the more faded he becomes

Olivar:"THIS BITCH!" He yells while running

(To Vek): The further Duga gets, the weaker Abrax feels and the more faded he becomes

Olivar:"WHY IS EVERYTHING TIED TO THIS BITCH?!"

(From Abrax): Faced with this, he runs after if he's able

(To Abrax): The only difference between now and a few moments ago is weight, as he feels a lot lighter, able to move slightly faster than before

Isa:The group make it to the elevator that leads to the ground floor as several people stop and looks at the destroyed places

Abrax:"Do you know Solstice?" He looks between the group members

Tyzen:Tyzen stares ahead, not hearing the ghost

Olivar:"...did the ghost follow us in here?"

Duga:"Yes. It asks about Solstice."

Olivar:"What about her?"

Duga:"If we know her."

Olivar:"Hell yeah we know her..."

He starts mumbling

Duga:He looks to Vek "Do you think you can work on this?" He holds out the broken lightsaber

Vek:He grabs it and goes to look over it

(To Vek): Vek can probably fix the lightsaber with some time and special parts that he doesn't not currently possess

(To Duga): As the lightsaber leaves his hand, Duga loses sight of Abrax

Duga:"Is it gone?"

He looks where Abrax once was

Abrax:"No, I still am here." He rubs his head "As here as one can be in my state."

Vek:"Hmmm...Isa."

Isa:"Yes?"

Isa asks looking over

Vek:"Can I see what was left of Yur's sabers?"

Isa:"Sure, but you broke the crystal, I doubt you can use them even if you fix them."

She says offering them to Vek

Vek:he looks them over "I'm not worried about crystals."

Abrax:"What are you doing to my lightsaber?"

(To Vek): With the pieces that aren't broke, Vek could probably use the parts of the two lightsabers to fix the ghost's

Vek:He pockets the remains of Yur's sabers, and hands the new one back to Duga "Yea, I can probably fix it when we get back to the ship."

Duga:He takes it, now able to see Abrax again "I think seeing it is tied to the lightsaber itself*

Vek:"I mean, I can see it regardless."

"But you probably have a point."

Olivar:"...can I hold to saber?"

• the

Duga:He holds it out "Hold it, but do not take it."

Olivar:He holds it

Abrax:He's just watching this in confusion

Olivar:"...man..."

"You do not look like how I expected."

Abrax:"I am unsure if I want to know what you expected."

Duga:"Regardless, tell us what you know about Solstice."

Abrax:"She and her lackeys captured me and forced me to work for her. I tried to escape....but it seems it was not meant to be. As I'm sure you can see."

Olivar:"...so, when'd you die?"

Abrax:"I could not tell you. I was on a ship when my supposed ally threw a grenade between me and my captor. That is the last thing I remember."

Olivar:"...well damn. Sounds like an asshole."

Abrax:"If it didn't seem I was tied to that lightsaber, I would haunt him for the rest of his days. Revenge is something I dislike, but there are few worse insults than betrayal."

Vek:He nods to that

Duga:"Well, what do we do now? It seems we hold it's 'life' in our hands."

its*

Olivar:"...man"

• ."

"You don't have to fuckin say its."

"He's a man."

"Use the correct god damn pronouns. Have respect for the dead."

Duga:"As much a man as a rock."

Abrax:"You are an ass, sir."

Vek:"I mean, you can at least kick a rock."

Olivar:"Did this motherfucker kill you?" He looks to Duga

"Or anyone that looked like him?"

Abrax:"His name was Sideshow. He was a bounty hunter."

Olivar:"...what kinda name is Sid-"

"..."

He puts his hands against the glass "God....fucking....damnit..."

Vek:"Do you just know everyone?"

Olivar:"It seems like my past is suddenly catching up with me as soon as I'm done with the whole revenge thing."

Abrax:"That is generally the cycle revenge causes."

Vek:"We weren't talking to you."

Olivar:He sinks down more as he realizes they have another god damn philosopher

Vek:"I mean, you're dead."

Abrax:"That does not mean I am blind."

Duga:"But it does mean you should quiet yourself."

Olivar:"I...I really hope that you died pretty long ago."

"I don't even want to entertain the fact I was in the same city as that...shit."

Vek:"I dunno, did you hear that explosion?"

"I bet if we searched hard enough we'd find his bits."

Duga:"And the lightsaber came from the debris from above."

Olivar:"You're not...you're not helping."

"At all."

Vek:"I think this Sideshow guys here, man."

Olivar:"..."

Duga:"That would also mean Solstice's forces are too."

Olivar:"You're a real piece of shit, you know that?"

Duga:"Am I wrong?"

Olivar:"I don't...I don't care."

Vek:"Hey, I can't wait to meet her."

Abrax:"This group seems to have some tension."

Olivar:He hasn't stopped leaning on the glass "Listen here, fucking spooky!"

"I'm tired of your shit as much as his, and I've only known you for two god damn minutes."

Abrax:"And you aren't the one who felt themselves being ripped to pieces. What happened to respect for the dead?"

Olivar:"I draw the line when the dead starts talking shit."

Duga:He chuckles at taht

Vek:He does as well, as he leans against a wall of the elevator, himself "So, do you have any control over your... being here? Or are you just stuck out here, with us?"

Abrax:"I weaken when the saber leaves, or so I believe."

Olivar:He's having space worm flashbacks

Vek:He nods "Well, I hope you can find some closure in the position you are, now."

Abrax:He is silent much to most's relief

Tyzen:Tyzen watches as the buildings and the entire cloud city falls, landing on the people beneath as screams echo just loud enough for them to hear.

Isa:"Oh, dear.."

Vek:He shakes his head in disgust

Isa:After a few minutes of watching the city crumble, the elevator lands, showing the ground is full of death as debris slams into the dirt, metal, wood, glass, and other building materials land, a human rebel runs towards them yelling something before getting crushed, dying instantly

Olivar:"...shit."

Duga:"I would suggest we hurry."

Zolba:Tyzen exits the elevator, quickly followed by Isa as the rebel humans run around, not knowing what to do as they try to find a safe place, in the midst of the chaos, they see Olivar's past partner standing in the outside as he tries to command his troops

"Oh, blood sucking Yogar! This is shewikia!"

"You, get back to your station!"

"Open the doors!"

"We must get these people out of here!"

Duga:"If they are survivors from the upper city, I would leave them to their fate."

Olivar:He whispers to Vek "Should we tell him?"

Vek:"Of course. He has a right to know."

Abrax:"To know what?"

Olivar:He nods "Zolba, you've been sold out."

Zolba:As he walks around, trying to order the chaos, he stops and sees the group and says as he takes out his sword

"Oh, Ol' Olivar!"

Olivar:"....Z-Zolba!"

"You've been sold out!"

Zolba:"What do you mean?"

Olivar:"The guys in charge, the ones in the city above the cloud made a deal with the Purgs!"

(From Abrax): Not understanding and still not quite stable after all that happened, he recedes into himself, simply listening and trying to right himself

Isa:"They have been telling the queen and purgs where your men were for safety."

Zolba:"I don't believe that."

Isa:"It doesn't matter what you believe, general. What matters is we need to get these people out of this area before the city above collapses."

Zolba:"I agree with that, princess. You lead your people out, I'll deal with mine."

Zolba looks over to a man running around disoriented

"You! Go to the bunks and make sure everyone is out!"

Duga:"Whatever you may believe, your Yur Katha is dead."

Isa:As he says this, a piece of metal crushes the man he was commanding as Isa grabs Tyzen and pulls him away from the elevator, running for the exit

Zolba:"Oh, damn it."

Zolba looks back to Duga

"I got that."

Olivar:He looks to Vek and Duga "Let's get out of here!"

He starts running for the exit too

Vek:He nods, lowering his head a bit, following the others

Duga:He moves as well

Cyler:As they reach the exit, they see Cyler calling for them from the hill, Ayeser standing next to him

Abrax:"I hope I don't have to spend eternity under rubble."

Olivar:He thinks about the fact he's holding it "Yeah, same here."

Isa:Isa and Tyzen make their way directly from the exit to the hill, along with the others, reaching her uncle and Ayeser after several minutes of running

Cyler:As they meet back up, Isa falls into Cyler's arms as Ayeser walks over giving the other three a salute

Ayeser:"You weren't supposed to blow up the city, what happened?"

"Were they hostile?"

Cyler:"Ayeser, this is no time for jokes!"

"I'm sorry, whatever happened wasn't by the Elero."

"Or the queen."

"It seems that Padapon city has fallen... and with it.. The hope of fighting back."

Duga:"Then it would seem that escape is the next course of action."

Isa:Finally done with her hugging embrace, Isa looks back to the group

"Thank you, for everything."

Vek:"What?"

"No."

Isa:"But Duga may be right."

"You all can go."

Vek:"That's just not happening."

Olivar:"Yeah, same here."

Isa:"My uncle and I will go back to the palace and try to.. I don't know."

Duga:"What are a few ex-slaves going to do to defeat a planetary occupation?"

Olivar:"Ever heard of a guerrilla warfare?"

"A hell of a lot, that's what."

Vek:"Kick their asses."

Cyler:"You two are truly friends of Iskalon."

"If we win back our home, I will make sure statues are built in your honor. But I'm afraid the Zabrak is right."

"Slaves won't be able to do much against the Elero troopers, and will only get in the way if we fight the Purgs."

"Unless we have an army, our best bet would be sneaking in the city."

Olivar:"All we gotta do is make it more trouble than it's worth!"

Vek:"Easy peasy."

Olivar:"We're a real fucking hassle to deal with."

Duga:"Something we can agree on."

Cyler:"Iskalon is one of the only planets with a seat in the Deep Core."

"They will hold the planet for as long as they can."

"We have three choices."

"If we want to win this. Gather the loyalist on Iskalon.. Which most seem to have just died. Leave this planet and come back with an outside force. Or get to the queen's chambers and send word of our invasion to the deep core."

Vek:"Alright, that clears things up."

Duga:"Just for another invasion force."

Isa:"Getting to my mother's quarters will be difficult, it's at the top of the palace."

Cyler:"And heavily guarded."

Isa:"I fear the best one of the tree would be to leave my home and return with reinforcements."

Vek:"Look, I understand where you're coming from-- but no."

"We barely got in here the first time."

Isa:"And I can not leave them again."

Cyler:"Then that leaves two options."

Vek:"Olivar."

Tyzen:Tyzen tugs on Vek's cloak as he looks back to the still falling city

"Vek, do you think the people up there got what they deserved?"

Vek:"No."

"Not like that."

Duga:He chuckles

Olivar:He looks to Vek

Vek:He looks over to see how the rebels were holding up

Ayeser:Ayeser watches the rebels run around, trying to help one another

Vek:"When the dust settles with the rebels, you should talk with Zolba again."

PAGE 22: Iskalon pt.2 // END

PAGE 23: Iskalon pt.3 // START

Isa:Sometime later Isa and the group find themselves still on the hill as a good sixty or more rebels made it out of the chaos as Zolba tends to his men who all stand just outside the finally done falling city

Olivar:He starts going down the hill towards Zolba, looking for Vek and/or Duga to follow.

Duga:He looks on the remaining rebels, sighing a bit

Zolba:As Olivar makes it down the hill, he finds Zolba resting in a stance as he appears to be offline

Vek:He looks to Duga "You should go back him up. I think the differences you two have will balance itself out in the middle."

Duga:"As you say, captain." He starts down the hill, curious about Zolba's odd posture

Olivar:He walks up to him and knocks on his shoulder

Zolba:Some sounds come from Zolba as he turns back to Olivar

"Good day, Olivar."

Olivar:"Good day to you too, Zolba." He looks around "So...what's next?"

Zolba:"What's next is my troops rest and regather themselves, once that is finished, we shall gather supplies and mount what is likely our final assault on the enemy."

"Attacking the palace and trying to bring down as much as we can."

Abrax:He places a hand on his face "Such a waste of resources."

Zolba:"Do you wish to join us?"

Olivar:"We were going to ask you guys the same thing. We're trying to figure out some kind of plan, and leaving the planet is not one of them."

Abrax:"If you are going to perform a suicide mission, at least it could be used for a distraction."

Olivar:"...but, well, more of a prolonged thing, less of a suicide mission."

Zolba:"Leaving the planet is prolonged?"

Olivar:"...what?"

Duga:He places a hand on his face "Such a waste of resources."*

"If you are going to perform a suicide mission, at least it could be used for a distraction."*

omit*

Zolba:"That's what I'm asking you."

"You said that leaving the planet is not a plan, but a prolonged thing."

Duga:"They do not wish to leave the planet."

"As foolish as it is."

Zolba:"You probably should, my friend."

Olivar:"Not an option."

Zolba:"It's not for myself, but what about you?"

"Why isn't it an option for you?"

Olivar:He shakes his head "We're in this too deep."

Zolba:"Then what is your plan?"

Olivar:"...well, we haven't figured that part out yet. But we aren't just going to throw it all away in some kinda suicide assault."

"Or just run away."

Zolba:"Olivar, we have been fighting this war for some time now and we have done nothing but lose. We are on our last legs. I have eighty two men left."

Olivar:"That's enough."

Zolba:"You just got here. I understand that you want to continue this fight, but my men are tired."

Duga:"If you perform terror, you may find success."

Olivar:"Duga."

"Stop being evil, please."

Duga:"Destroying enemy morale is basic."

Zolba:"We tried. It doesn't work."

Olivar:He looks back to Zolba "Regardless if it isn't enough men, it's not my call. My captain's set on it; we're staying."

Zolba:"We're fighting brain washed troopers and cyborgs that want nothing but death."

"You have two days."

Olivar:He blinks

Duga:"Perhaps you shall find better results not that your information is not being given out by your superiors."

Zolba:"That's when we plan to march into the palace."

Duga:now*

Olivar:"...well, what do we gotta do in those two days? Two days for what?"

"To convince you? "

Zolba:"To decide what you're doing."

Olivar:"...alright."

"I would heed Duga's advice, surprisingly. You were being led by people who were actively sabotaging you."

Zolba:"Olivar... We have eighty people and we're going against not just one group that has taken control of a fifth of the outer rim but two."

Abrax:"I feel that you two don't get along very well."

Zolba:"Our chances of success are low and their moral is declining quickly. They just lost the one city they thought was safe and now you and your friends come down talking about how they have been sending us to our death."

Olivar:"...well...I can understand how that doesn't sound like the most galvanizing statement, but we can't just give up against these....these damn drug addled and brainwashed thugs!"

Zolba:"As I said, you have two days to come up with a plan that we agree with."

Olivar:He nods "...alright..."

He sighs and starts walking back up the hill

Vek:"How'd it go?"

Olivar:"Well, he said we have three days to come up with a better plan than him, or he's going to do a suicide assault on the main castle."

Duga:He looks to Zolba once Olivar's gone "Knowing them, they will come up with a ridiculous plan, but I do not know if it will work out this time."

Olivar:"Two, I mean two days."

Vek:"Okay.."

Zolba:"It would be nice to work by Olivar's side once again but... My men are tired. They want this war to be over. Win or lose, they get to rest."

Vek:"This is going to be risky."

"But we're going to have to go with plan C."

Tyzen:"What's plan C?"

Vek:"We're going to have to infiltrate the queen's chambers."

Duga:"Given what I've seen in recent events, even death holds no such rest."

Zolba:"I hope you're wrong, Zabrakian."

Olivar:"...got any idea how we're going to do that?"

Zolba:With that, Zolba turns back towards his men and appears to power off once more

Duga:He makes his way back up the hill

Tyzen:With the moon now high in the sky, Tyzen looks out at the falled city below the hill as Cyler asks the group

Cyler:"Do any of you have a plan?"

Olivar:He looks to Vek

Vek:"We're gonna break in and contact the...deep core, or, whatever you said."

Olivar:He looks to Cyler "What...what is the deep core?"

Duga:"Where all the money and power resides." He chuckles "If they do send help, it will be to take over."

Olivar:"....That explained absolutely nothing."

Vek:"..Oh."

"Well that's not good, either."

Olivar:"...Is it a concept? A physical space?"

"A generator?"

Cyler:"While it is true that they will probably take control of our planet like the Purgs and Elero, I do believe that they will at least give us some form of freedom as we are on the seat to join the Republic.

"The Galaxy is separated into eight parts."

"Starting from the core of the galaxy and traveling further back, it goes 'Deep Core', 'Core', 'Colonies', 'Innfer Rim', 'Expandsion Region', 'Mid Rim', 'Outer Rim', and finally the 'Unknown Rim."

"Regions, excuse me."

"We're on the outer part of the Mid Rims."

"The Republic is trying to extend it's hand to those in the outer rims to join."

Cyler:"We were the first in the Mid Rim to join. Due to this, the Purgs and Elero have tried to take us over so that they can have a seat on the senate too."

Olivar:"...so...why would the Republic even let them have it?"

"Do they just somehow hide the fact that a cartel controls the planet now?"

Duga:"Because this is so far beyond their range that it had to have been a desperate measure to even consider joining."

Cyler:"The queen have sided with them."

has*

Olivar:"...that doesn't mean they would still allow it."

"It's a republic, that's like...a democracy, right?"

Cyler:"Yes."

Olivar:"Why would they allow a...gang to vote in it?"

Vek:"Do you know why the Queen sided with them?"

Cyler:"They wouldn't know it's the Purgs."

"No, I don't."

Olivar:"...did she not have much control over the planet?"

"Is she trying to gain a more iron fist over this place?"

Cyler:"I believe she is trying to do it with other planets. By joining the Purgs she may think that she will be given control over a portion of their territory."

Vek:"Dumb bitch."

Cyler:"Yes, I would agree."

Olivar:"....yeah, this republic ideas starting to sound like the best one."

Duga:"If this Republic is anything like that of days past...." he rubs his chin "Then you may not receive aid despite the risk you take."

Olivar:"What does that mean?"

Vek:"Okay, well, if they blow us off, we can just have a 'chat' with the queen."

Cyler:"I do not believe that you will be able to change her mind."

"She killed her husband and tried to kill her children."

Olivar:"...let's kill her!"

Vek:"Trust me."

"She hasn't met Duga yet."

Cyler:"That would put a big stump in the Purg's and Elero's entire reason."

Olivar:"So, there we go! New plan! Send Duga in there, and if somehow he doesn't convince her that life is meaningless and gets her to commit suicide, we kill her."

Vek:"Okay, no, we've gotta all be there."

"Gotta bounce his words around."

Duga:He sighs "If we are going to go on a suicide mission, then let's get to it. I don't relish the idea of sitting around if I am not going to be able to leave this planet."

Olivar:"Well, how are we going to sneak in? House keeping, catering, spiritual guidance?"

Vek:"None of the above?"

Duga:"If it were up to the rebels, it would be a warpath."

Olivar:"Yeah, and they'd all die."

"Wrong side, Duga."

"Wrong side."

Isa:"There is a secret passage my brother and I used to use when hiding from our father."

Duga:"A perfect distraction."

Vek:"Yea?"

Isa:"We would need to enter the palace though, it's in the guest bathroom, it leads mostly up my home."

Vek:"Does anyone else know about it?"

Isa:"It would help us get past a majority of our enemies."

"I don't believe so."

"A maid may have found it while cleaning."

Vek:"Then that's our best bet."

Olivar:"What do we do when we're in there? Try and pass as a bunch of thu-" he looks at them all "...actually, that could work."

Isa:"What could?"

Cyler:Cyler looks to Vek as he had been pondering something since his last words

Olivar:"We could just act like a bunch of thugs that are supposed to be there."

Cyler:"That's true."

"We could."

Vek:"Regardless, we don't have a lot of time to finalize this and get to it, before the rebels all get themselves killed."

Duga:"If that is their choice, let them."

Vek:"Duga, it's not what they really want."

"They just feel like they're out of options."

Cyler:"They've been fighting a losing battle since this started.'

'It's been almost a year and everything around them has died. Their homes are gone. While I disagree with their choice, I understand it."

"But now isn't the time for sympathy."

"If we're going before they do then we should start leaving right now, it's going to take some time before we get there."

Duga:"What of your companions?" He looks to Vek

Vek:"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Do you mean our crew mates?"

Duga:He nods "Perhaps it would be best to send the rebels to fortify their location."

Vek:He looks to Olivar "You think they'd do that?"

Olivar:"...I think so. My partner is stubborn, but not unreasonable. I'm going to need better back up than Duga, though." He looks to Duga "All offense meant."

Duga:"I merely don't want to see our only source of medical care killed when we are about to assault a fortress."

He then moves on to take a seat somewhere on the hill

Vek:"..."

"We weren't disagreeing with you."

"...Okay, just."

Tyzen:Duga is able to take a seat next to Tyzen

Vek:"..."

He walks over to Isa

(From Duga): He channels his anger at his situation, using it to center himself much like meditation

(From Vek): "Try to keep an eye on Duga and Tyzen, please. I can't really explain why, just, if you can."

Vek:He pats her shoulder a bit and walks back over to Olivar "Alright, let's go chit chat."

Isa:Looking back as he walks away, Isa is more confused by his actions than anything

Olivar:He nods, and starts heading down to the camp

Vek:He follows

Zolba:The two are able to get down to Zolba who is in his slumped over offline mode

sleep*

Olivar:He knocks on his shoulder

(From Duga): 1

Zolba:Zolba turns on and looks over to Olivar

"Ah, hello!"

"Have you gained a plan yet?"

Olivar:"Yes! We have!"

Zolba:"What is it?"

Vek:He let's Olivar lead the conversation, until he needs to step in

Olivar:"We plan to infiltrate the palace to contact the Deep Core for backup."

Zolba:"That's a good plan, but how do you plan to enter?"

How do you plan to contact them*

Olivar:"Don't get bogged down with the details, Zolba! Don't worry, we'll handle it."

(From Duga): Duga gets really into it, but ends up contemplating some things, finding a bit of peace undercut with dark musings

Zolba:"..."

With no response, Zolba stares back to Olivar

Olivar:"We have a plan, but we can't discuss it here."

Zolba:"Why not?"

"Do you have a traitor among you?"

Olivar:"No, of course not," He immediately thinks of Duga"But, you can never be too careful."

Zolba:"Olivar, just out with it."

Olivar Uses Telepathy!

Vek:He approaches Zolba "Regardless, we have something we would like you to do."

Zolba:Standing to attention, Zolba looks to Vek and asks

"And what is this?"

Vek:"We have a medic providing aid to some of the disenfranchised people of the realm. We weren't able to leave them with much backup, so we would appreciate it if you and your men could bolster and defend the position."

Zolba:"My men and I would be glad to help, for how long should we hold the position?"

Vek:"Four days."

Zolba:"I don't know if that's possible."

"We don't have that many rations."

Vek:"The location was a location held by the enemy, there is likely some supplies there."

Zolba:"Then we will hold for as long as we can."

"Where are your friends?"

Vek:He gives him the location

Zolba:"Men!"

With a sudden turn of the torso to look at his sleeping men, Zolba picks up his sword from a box and places it on his shoulder

"Wake your boxes up! We have a mission!"

Vek:"And Zolba."

Zolba:Snaps his head back to Vek

Vek:"I know you and your men have been fighting for what probably feels like forever by now, I know you're all worn out and tired; but you can't lose hope. The second you give in to their terror, they truly begin to win. I'm not saying our plan is absolutely going to work, but, dammit, I'm stopping this war if it kills us. So please, just hold on to whatever you have left in the tank and do the right thing."

Zolba:"Your words are inspiring, Vek, if we win this war, you will be honored as a great warrior. I will pass on your words to my men."

Looking back to his men he kicks on of their shens, as they shoot up from the ground, rubbing it and looking back up to Zolba with anger

"I said wake up!"

Vek:He looks to Olivar "Alright, let's get going."

Olivar:"Let's do this, hero."

Time

Stormtrooper:It has been some time since we last seen our little pilot, however as he does him, he can hear troopers talking just outside the ship's door

Qotaro:"Aaah, gaaah!" He said, sitting up, as he had been leaning over his table, tinkering a bit, trying to make a bomb. He got up and walked over to the door, listening

Stormtrooper:Trooper 1-A says

"Do you know if they have a snack machine in this halo? I'm dying for a prezzle."

Trooper 3-K responds

"No, but this ship might have something."

"Yeah, but we're supposed to be guarding it, not looting it."

"Who said we can't do both?"

Stormtrooper:"I don't know man..."

"Speaking of I don't knows. Do you agree with the Elero and all of their enslaving?"

"Hey, that's confidential."

"Yeah.. I guess it is a rule to not talk about it."

"Anyways, you still fucking that Hundilosh?"

Qotaro:"No gabba."

"Wabba... N-... Gatcha no ga?"

"Hundilosh? Watcha gah no gabba!"

Stormtrooper:"No, it got a little too clingy so I dumped it."

"How'd that go?"

"It tried to eat me so I had to burn it. Almost killed me, true story."

Qotaro:"Gah... no Huap."

Stormtrooper:"Don't know how you would ever find those things attractive, but whatever."

"Hey, I'm not the one who tried to date a Jyl."

"She was really nice."

Qotaro:"No watcha ba. Faba ga."

Stormtrooper:"The thing is pure evil."

'And Hundilosh aren't?"

"Don't knock it until you've tried it. A Hunilosh's slime makes everything feel so much better."

"You've got problems man."

Qotaro:"No gabba! Gaah!"

R3-I7:The droid turns it's head to Qotaro

"Qotaro = upset//R3=help?"

Qotaro:"Gabba ga." He says, raising his hand and giving R3 a thumbs up

B8-G6:B8 exits a room from being charged as he looks over to Qotaro

"Oh, master Qotaro. What is it you're doing?"

Qotaro:He points at the door, and says, "Gabba." He then smacks his a fist into his open palm, and says, "Gatcha ga." He then points at the door, and making a punching motion, and says, "Gah!"

B8-G6:"You're going to fight the people outside?"

Qotaro:He shakes his head, "Watcha, bagga gah!"

B8-G6:"Alright, good luck."

With that, Bait turns around and heads back to the cockpit

Chip:Chip is on standby, standing beside the door Koek is locked in

Qotaro:He blinks, and looks over towards Koek's room for a moment, before looking back to the direction of the stormtroopers outside the ship

Stormtrooper:"Do you ever think there are too many of us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we seem to be every where?"

"Right?"

"No."

"How?"

Stormtrooper:"This is Purgspace. We're not even supposed to be here, it's only because Leats commanded us to work together that we're not fighting right now."

"Who the hell is Leats? And how do you know all of this?"

"I was fucking the commander and while she was asleep I read some of our files."

"Dude, you could totally die for that."

"Yeah, I'm a bit of a bad boy."

"No, you're a bit of a fucking idiot. I'm not talking about this anymore."

Stormtrooper:"Wha? Aw, come on."

"Nope, uh-hu. Not talking anymore."

Qotaro:He really considers opening the door to say something to them

Stormtrooper:"Why not?"

"The less I know the better."

"You're just jealous."

"No, I'm smart. You're talking about stealing shit from the commanders and sharing their personal relations. I'm not listening to it."

"Then why are you still able to respond if you're not listening?"

"Because you stopped talking about it."

Stormtrooper:"And you brought it back up."

"God damn it.. This is why I hate getting stationed with you."

"Those are some harsh words."

"Not harsh enough."

Qotaro:"GAAAHH!"

He goes to open the door

Stormtrooper:As he opens the door the two look back to him

"What in the fuck is that?"

"Uh... A hundiloth?"

Qotaro:He points at them, "GAAHHH!"

He then jumps up and stomps on the ground, "Watcha ba! Gaah! No! NO! NO GABBA!" He starts waving his hands around, "Batcha, no gabba, no gabba! GAAH! Fabba gah, no gab! Nooo!" He then stomps again, pointing at one of them, as he said, "Gabba ga! No watcha ba!" he then points at the other, and says, "Wagabba! No batcha! No, no gabba!" He then spreads his legs, and points at them both, and says, "SUCK IT!"

Stormtrooper:"..."

"..."

Both of the troopers are speechless

1-A looks to the other and asks

"What in the fuck just happened?"

"I think we just got told, 1-A. I think.. We just got what they call burned."

Stormtrooper:"Oh shit... It doesn't feel good."

Looking back to 1-A, the other trooper says

"No, 1-A... It does not."

Qotaro:Charms! (77)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Willpower Check! (85)

He then looks over to Qotaro and points at the Jawa

"Did you hear that you little brown non-basic speaking bitch!?"

"You hurt my friend's feelings!"

1-A says in the background

"I'm not your friend."

Stormtrooper:However the other trooper ignores him

"You take it back!"

Qotaro:He points back at him, "AH?! NO GABBA! BEETCH!" He then holds his arms out, and says, "Problem? PROBLEM?! SOLVE, BEETCH!"

Stormtrooper:"He's on the verge of tears!"

"Be- No, no, no!"

"You're the bitch! Bitch!"

Qotaro:"Yea, yea, yea! Beetch! BEETCH!" He spreads his legs again, doing the DX taunt, as he says, "SUCK IT, BEETCH!"

Stormtrooper:"No, you suck it!"

The trooper gets to his knees to get closer to Qotaro and doe the suck it back as Chip turns on and looks at the current situation before walking over, tossing his blaster on the ground and saying

Chip:"No. You suck it."

Chip then does it and hits the Trooper's helmet with his metal pelvis as he thrusts forward

Qotaro:"Haha! BEETCH!" He starts laughing his ass off

Stormtrooper:As the trooper is hit in the helm he falls back in slow motion as he feels in his heart of hearts that he has lost

1-A runs up now, taking the trooper's place

"That was assault"

Qotaro:"Watcha? HA! Beetch!"

Chip:"No. It was.. Suck it."

Stormtrooper:"I could kill both of you for that."

Qotaro:"Oh? Gabba!" He chuckles a bit, holding his arms out, "Problem? Solve, beetch."

Charms! (7)

Stormtrooper:Makes a Willpower Check! (66)

"No, no, no! You see I was sitting the background before this! I was just chilling!"

"But now you done got me into this!"

"I challenge you, mister...?"

Chip:"Master."

Qotaro:"Gabba?" He blinks, cocking his head to the side

Jalj:It's at this point that she walks out

"Qotaro?"

Qotaro:He looks back, "Beetch?"

Jalj:"What's happening?"

Stormtrooper:"What's happening is I'm about to beat Master Gabba!"

Tossing his blaster next to Chip's, the trooper tries to roll up his sleeves but finds them not moving so he just gets in a boxing stance

"Let me warn you, Gabba."

"I'm 1-A for a reason. It's because I'm the number one achiever!"

Qotaro:"Oooh. Gabba."

He looks to him, and then does to his hands, and then back to him, as he holds up one hand, "Box?"

Stormtrooper:"That's the start!?"

The trooper swings

Attacks! (65)

Qotaro:"Watcha?!" He goes to duck

Defends! (96)

Stormtrooper:Qotaro is able not duck the Trooper as he stumbles from swinging so low

"You slippery little black creature!"

Jalj:Jalj watches as Qotaro gets in a fist fight with a Elerotrooper

Qotaro:"Aaah! Gatcha!"

He then pulls up his blaster and takes a shot

Shoots! (121)

Stormtrooper:Defends! (100)

"What the fuck!?"

The trooper can't do anything as he's shot straight in the chest

Qotaro:"No gabba! Watcha, ba!"

Does (44) Damage!

Elerotrooper:The trooper stumbles as he gets shot, letting out a whine

"AHHHH!"

"God damn it!"

"You fucking.. Cheated!"

The trooper drops to a knee before going to tackle the jawa

"HEYA!"

Elerotrooper:Attacks! (56)

Qotaro:He jumps up into the air

Defends! (53)

Elerotrooper:Qotaro finds a full grown man tackling him and landing on him as he goes to squeeze the jawa

"NOOOO!"

Qotaro:"Gah! No gabba ba!"

Koek:"What's happening out there?"

Qotaro:He goes to wriggle free

Makes a Dexterity Check! (77)

Elerotrooper:Makes a Strength Check! (107)

Qotaro is unable to break free as he squeezes harder

"You're going nowhere!"

Qotaro:"WATCHA! Ba, gabba!"

Elerotrooper:Makes a Strength Check! (61)

Qotaro:Toughs it Out! (44)

Elerotrooper:Does (24) Damage!

Qotaro:"Gabba ga! Gaaahhh!"

He groans a bit, as he gets squeezed, and keeps trying to crawl out

Makes a Dexterity Check! (119)

Elerotrooper:Makes a Strength Check! (91)

"NO!"

Qotaro:He wriggles free, until he pops out of his grip and jumps back, pointing at him, "Gatcha ba!"

Elerotrooper:The trooper held on, but not long enough

"Fuck you!"

Qotaro:He slings his blaster up, taking some shots down at him

Qotaro Uses Burst Fire!

Qotaro:Shoots! (73)

Shoots! (105)

Shoots! (29)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (85)

Defends! (31)

Defends! (47)

Qotaro fires off three blasts but only one hits the trooper in the shoulder

Qotaro:Does (25) Damage!

Elerotrooper:The Elero trooper goes to roll but finds a searing pain in his shoulder

"AHHH!"

"Son of bitch!"

Qotaro:"Beetch!"

Jalj:"Yes?"

Qotaro:"No! That beetch!"

"No good beetch!"

"Bad beetch!"

Elerotrooper:"You're the bitch!"

the trooper gets to his knees and dives for the blasters

Makes a Dexterity Check! (43)

Qotaro:He goes for the blasters himself

Makes a Dexterity Check! (111)

He flies over towards them, going to grab them himself

He grabs one of the blasters, and goes to kick the other one over to Chip, "Gabba!"

Chip:Chip quickly gets the blaster and aims at the trooper

"Suck it, roger."

Elerotrooper:"...'

The trooper looks up to the droid and jawa

"Listen.."

"We can work this out?"

Qotaro:He stores the trooper's blaster on himself, holding up his own at them, "Beetch."

He quickly glances over to see what the other trooper is doing

Elerotrooper:The other trooper is just now collecting himself from getting droid dick to the face as he sits up, a tear coming out from the under the helmet as he looks at the scene and tilts his head, questioning what happened during his time of sorrow

"Don't just sit there, help!"

1-A calls out as the trooper continues to just sit on the ramp

"You fucking... idiot!"

"What in the hell happened while I was.. Down?"

The trooper asks as 1-A just shakes his head

Chip:"We won."

Qotaro:He lets Chip aim at 1-A as he points his blaster over at the other one, "No gabba."

Elerotrooper:As the blaster is pointed at him, he picks up his own blaster and aims it at Qotaro

"hey now, we're gonna cool down right, meow!"

Qotaro:"No gabba? Blaster down." He said, motioning down to the ground

Elerotrooper:"No gabba, blaster down."

the trooper responds, just copying what the jawa said, even doing the same motion

Qotaro:"... Somma beetch."

Elerotrooper:"You can't be any better of a human being?"

1-A asks

Qotaro:"No blaster down?" He said, tilting his head towards Chip and the other trooper, "Chip POW! Blaster down, or POW!"

Elerotrooper:1-A is shot in the head as Chip was told to POW as this happens, the other trooper fires his blaster at Qotaro, screaming out

"NOOO!"

Attacks! (79)

Qotaro:"W--"

He stops as he goes to duck

Defends! (130)

Lucks Out! (62)

Elerotrooper:Lucks Out! (31)

The trooper's blast goes no where as Qotaro is able to dodge the blast

Qotaro:"Gatcha ba!" He fires three quick blasts at the trooper back

Qotaro Uses Burst Fire!

Qotaro:Shoots! (74)

Shoots! (101)

Shoots! (102)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (65)

Defends! (57)

Defends! (60)

Qotaro:Does (28) Damage!

Does (33) Damage!

Does (44) Damage!

Elerotrooper:The trooper has just enough in him to let out one more blast before hitting the ground, out

Shoots! (48)

Qotaro:He angles his body to the side

Defends! (119)

Lucks Out! (13)

Elerotrooper:Lucks Out! (56)

Jalj:Lucks Out! (34)

Jalj doesn't see it coming as the blast that was meant for Qotaro heads directly for her, hitting her stomach and going through it, sending her to the ground

Qotaro:"W-... BEETCH!"

He screams, jumping, as he looks at her, then back to the trooper, then back to her

Jalj:With a groan, she looks to Qotaro with teary eyes. The trooper is out for the count, though he seems to have left a mark as Jalj covers her newly made wound but it does nothing as she begins gasping for air.

Qotaro:"C-Chip! Troopers, ship!" He says, running over for her

Chip:Chip grabs the trooper and drags him aboard before closing the ramp and look over to the scene

Qotaro:He leans over Jalj, and begins to stammer out a mixture of basic and Jawaneese

Jalj:"Qotaro.."

Jalj whispers shakily

Qotaro:He puts his hand on her, "Be-.. uh... Jalj..." He says, a bit awkwardly

Jalj:"It was fun.. But my partner.. Would be ashamed of who I became.."

choking with every other word, she forces her self to talk as her moments close

Qotaro:He blinks a bit, as he tries to come up with something to say, but can't, as he just leans in and embraces her tightly

Jalj:With a final hug, Qotaro feel Jalj's grip fade as her hand goes limp

Qotaro:He stops, shaking a bit, as he closes his eyes, and just sits there for the next while, embracing her, completely speechless for the first time he can recall in his adult life

Time

Dareks:As Dareks moves a large box across a room, he over hears some of the troopers talking back and forth

Elerotrooper:"Did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

"The Purgs are coming."

"The Purgs? The fuq do dey want?"

"I don't know, commander said we're supposed to be getting out of here tomorrow, going on to take Vestar."

"Where the fuq is Vestar?"

Elerotrooper:"Down south west, I think."

"Well, this is some billshut, I didn't sign up to be on a different planet every other week killing and imprisoning locals."

"Well, you didn't sign anything, you just said 'I want work' and here you are."

"Never mind that."

PAGE 23: Iskalon pt.3 // END

PAGE 24: Iskalon pt.4 // START

The Force:As the scene returns to the group, Vek, Duga, and Olivar begins hearing hundreds of loud, high pitched screams from the back of their minds before it all goes quiet suddenly

Duga:His eyes shoot open, bloodshot

Olivar:"What in the god damn..."

Vek:He shakes his head a bit

Cyler:"You heard it too?"

Cyler asks, standing next to Duga

Ayeser:"Heard what?"

Vek:"Yea."

Olivar:"...anyone know what it was?"

Duga:The shadows of his hood seem to deepen "Something has happened and the force wailed in agony."

Cyler:"He is correct, something unnatural has happened."

Olivar:"...near by, or just somewhere?"

"...In all honesty, I'm hoping near by."

Duga:"It would not surprise me if an entire planet died violently."

Olivar:"...that's exactly why I was hoping near by."

Cyler:"It is difficult to say, ho-.. I.. Don't know if that's.. I don't believe a planet can be simply blown up, the last time that happened was during the time of the empire."

"While people have tried to recreate the deathstar, no one, to my knowledge, has been successful."

Olivar:"...well, that's all fine and dandy, but we don't know, do we?"

Cyler:"No."

Duga:"The Force is rarely exact."

Olivar:"Well, you've two studied it, right?"

"Is there any way you could...make it?"

"...well, get a general idea of the location or something?"

Cyler:"Unfortunately, not. The force answers to very few, and fewer are able to force an answer."

Olivar:"Well, we're stuck between a rock and a hard place, huh?"

"...do we just continue as normal?"

Cyler:"It is all we can do."

Vek:"Yep."

"That settles that."

Duga:He looks for Tyzen

Olivar:He sighs "Alright, then...uh...yeah, so do we have any blueprints of the castle or anything?"

Vek:"That's a good question."

Cyler:"We have Isa and I, the place is a little too big to make in the dirt."

"You'll just have to follow us."

Vek:"Alright."

Olivar:"How're you two supposed to sneak in? Won't they just know your face?"

Cyler:"I can enter freely, Isa and you all however will have to enter another way."

"I'm sure Ayeser and I can cause a distraction to allow you five to sneak in, but you'll have to be quick."

"After you're in, Isa said that she recalls a passage in the first floor bathroom."

Isa:"It will lead us to the third floor, however from there we will have to slowly make our way to the fifth floor."

Vek:"Of course."

Olivar:"That's where we stab the bitch?"

• omit

Cyler:"It is about a day and half walk from here, it'll be a three day walk if you wish to get your friend you left with the prisoners."

Tyzen:Standing to Vek's side, Tyzen looks up to whoever is talking, listening to the conversation, thinking about the events and where he has landed

Duga:"Child, did you hear the Force's call?"

Tyzen:"The screams?"

Duga:He nods

Tyzen:"It sounded like they were in pain."

Duga:"Hmm." He nods again and looks around the group "I suggest we get the medic. I don't relish this assault without his abilities."

Vek:"Yea, yea, we're gettin' there."

"Let's go on and get going, then. Try and make that 3 days 2.9."

the group travels back to the sad village, where they find Vedro, Marko, and Ashhera, among a group of broken villagers and tired solders*

Ashhera:Ashhera is giving the group some music

Vedro:He was standing near the center, visibly frustrated, as he shook his head, but he was enjoying the music Ashhera was giving

Marko:Marko stands next to a door, which leads to a cell with two troopers

Vek:"Hey, Vedro, how's the doctoring going?"

Duga:He's quiet in the back of the party

Vedro:"Pretty bad. These freed slaves are very difficult to take care of, and there's more problems than we can solve. But I've managed to keep them alive so far."

Olivar:"That's good, that's good..."

Vedro:"Sort of. Isn't any sort of quality life, unfortunately."

"This planet is a shit hole."

"And I came from Rodia."

Vek:"Well, we're about to go on and finish things up, you're more than welcome to come along with us."

Vedro:"Yea? I can do that. I can't guarantee anyone here will survive without me here though. Whaddya wanna do with them?"

Duga:"I wonder how many more will die if this continues."

Vedro:"I don't know."

"Honestly I don't care all that much."

"You know, it isn't like I don't care about people, but I can't save everyone."

"And I'm just doing what I'm paid for."

Vek:"Whose paying you?"

Vedro:"You, with room and board."

Vek:"...Ah."

"Yes, of course."

"Well..."

Olivar:"...it was a test."

Vek:He rubs his chin

"I'm not sure.."

"Alright, that settles it."

Cyler:"If it helps, it will be easier to sneak with less people."

Vek:"Vedro, you're with us."

"I appreciate the input, Cyler."

Vedro:"Alright, let's do this."

"Ashhera and Marko can look after these guys. I don't think they can keep them healthy, but they can protect them from others."

Tyzen:"If it's a okay, Vek, I'd like to stay here too."

Vek:"Yea, that's fine."

Tyzen:He goes to hang out with Marko, waiting for the party to leave

Duga:He begins making his way back

Vedro:He straightens his clothes a bit, and began to walk

Vek:He heads on out

Vedro:begins*

the group heads on towards the palace, Cyler taking the lead as Ayeser keeps beside Isa, talking to her as they walk, eventually the group takes a break for a short bit however continue on until the next day, when they finally are stopped by Cyler just before a bridge, where he turns back to them and informs them that there is a city up ahead that surrounds the palace

Cyler:"The best idea I can think of for you all to get through would be to find hatch four three one six in the sewers, that will lead you to the second basement of the palace."

"From there, you will have to make your way to the first floor, where I'll have all of the troops on the floor leave, while they're gone you all can enter the forth guest bathroom, where Isa will lead you from then on."

Vek:"Piece of cake."

Duga:"Anything to add, princess?"

Isa:"I don't believe so."

(To Duga): "Something doesn't feel right." she says through telepathy

Olivar:"So, when we get there...what do we say, even?"

Vedro:"Well, if that's all it takes to sneak into a castle..."

Olivar:"Ey, Mr. Senator, bring in the cavalry, just the whole army."

"We're in trouble."

Cyler:"Give them the code 'Four-Ab-Three-Twenty-Eight-Ninety'."

Olivar:He blinks for a moment, and then writes it down

(From Duga): He responds "Then be prepared for Cyler having set a trap."

Olivar:"Four...Ab...Three...Twenty...Eight...Ninety..."

Vek:He memorizes it

Vedro:He scratches his head

Cyler:"If you got all of that, then you're good to go, find the first man hole you can and look for the hatch."

With that, he begins walking towards the palace on the horizon, Ayeser walking next to him.

Isa:Giving the two a good head start, Isa pulls the hood over her before she starts towards the city

"Come on, be careful, I don't know what is up ahead."

Vek:He follows along

Olivar:He puts his arms into his coat, ready for action

Vedro:He comes along too, his hand fingers looped around his best, also ready and alert

belt*

omit*

Duga:He follows as well toward the front of the group

Vedro:He walks with them

(From Duga): He quietly says to Isa "I would advise you to not use that code if you have another way to identify yourself."

Isa:After a bit of walking, the group finds the city seems to be mostly deserted, with the exception of the occasional trooper and person walking by.

(To Duga): "That's a good idea."

Isa:After a few blocks into the city, Isa takes a left into an alley before stopping and looking around

"Alright, there is a hatch over here that can lead us down to the sewers of the city."

Olivar:"...keep an eye out..."

he walks over to the manhole, crouches down, and with everyone looking out, he goes to lift it with the force and set it aside

Isa:Olivar is able to do so fairly easily, as he lifts the manhole, Isa takes the lead and is the first one down

Vek:He nods to Olivar and follows

Duga:He jumps down after

Olivar:He keeps lookout, waiting for Vedro to jump down

Vedro:He jumps down as well

Olivar:He starts climbing down, and before he's halfway down, he uses the force to close the lid behind them

He slides down the rest of the way

Isa:With the group making it down, they continue through the sewers for a good bit, eventually finding the manhole with the numbers they were looking for

Vedro:"Well... that's it. Who first?"

Isa:"Duga, you go first."

Vedro:"Well, that settles it."

Duga:"Lovely..." He steps forth

Isa:Duga climbs the ladder and peaks out, finding an empty cellar

peek*

Duga:He goes to get to his feet

Isa:Exiting the sewer, Duga stands up in the cellar, finding it to be a good twelve foot, dust covering the ground, imprints from feet and boxes can be seen occasionally, showing someone had disturbed the dirt recently, however aside from this, there is nothing in the large twelve yard room

With Duga getting out, Isa climbs up behind him, believing it's safe

Duga:He looks for the exit

Isa:He a staircase leading into the wall, with Isa beginning to walk up it

"Alright, there is one more room before we get to the first floor."

he sees a staircase*

Vedro:He goes to climb up as well

Olivar:He follows soon after

Duga:As does he

Human:Entering the next room, Isa stops as she sees a man on the other side of the room, staring at the wall opposite to them as he appears to be looking down

they can hear him mumble

"Out of all the god damn places, I get put in the basement."

"Bullshit, I should have told them to shove the entire basement."

Isa:"I'll let you all do whatever you do."

Vek:"I don't think that's a good idea." He says, lagging behind a bit

Olivar:"...yeah, I'm with him."

Duga:He sighs and goes to spear him with his saber from a distance

Duga Uses Force Throw!

Duga:Uses the Force! (153)

Olivar:"...that was a horrible idea."

"Worst, in fact."

Duga:Makes a Thievery Check! (40)

Isa:Perceives! (24)

Human:Defends! (41)

He shakes something before going to zip up his pants, but before he can turn around, the Lightsaber goes straight through him and pierces the wall before sliding down it and landing on the ground, the man stumbles back a little before finally turning the group with a glowing hole in his chest, he looks to the group with a very confused look before dropping to his knees and then face planting on the ground.

Vek:"....."

Isa:"Well, at least it was quick."

Vedro:"Well, shit."

"I could have just choked him out. It would have taken just about as long."

Olivar:"..." He walks over to him and starts looking for some keys

Vedro:"Even less, because I would have just dropped him, instead of letting him stumble around."

Duga:He pulls the saber back and puts it away

"You can have then next one."

Isa:"Well, that's it I guess, are you all ready/"

Vek:"Ready as we're gonna be."

Olivar:He looks for some sort of ID on him

Isa:She goes to open the door and peeks out but stops instantly and freezes before the group can hear on the other side

Olivar finds an ID but that's all, showing the man's name was Eric Ankerlin, he was thirty four and an organ donor

Elerotrooper:"Is that a ship?"

Olivar:He stuffs it in his pocket, and whispers to the group "...just act...natural."

Isa:Slowly returning to the room, she shuts the door quietly before looking to the party and saying

"I don't.. Know what is happening out there but I thought they saw me just then."

Elerotrooper:"Oh, shit!"

They hear a muffled yell from the other side of the door before shooting starts

Vek:"What the hell!?"

Duga:"It seems we have our distraction."

Olivar:His heart drops

"Wait..."

"..did they say a ship?"

Vedro:"Uh..." She takes a breath, very tempted to step out into there

Olivar:"Damn, we're in a tight spot...let's get going!"

Vedro:It*

Isa:"Alright.. Are you all ready?"

"I'm going to go as fast as I can while staying down so try and keep up."

Duga:He goes

Olivar:He does as well

Vedro:He steps out and throws his hands up, "It's okay, I'm a doctor!"

Vek:"....."

Isa:With them running ahead, Isa goes to take lead as she's the only one know where to go but stops as Vedro yells and three of the tens of troops stop and looks back to them

Elerotrooper:"What the fuck?"

"That that a lizard?"

Vedro:"You're saved."

Elerotrooper:"Taradoshin?"

Vedro:"Hold out your hand."

Elerotrooper:"No, you hold up your hand."

The three aim their guns to Vedro

Olivar:"..." He calmly begins walking past

Vedro:"No, seriously, I need to inspect you all."

"This is one sick planet. You guys are at risk."

Elerotrooper:"What's he saying?"

"He's hostile!"

"Take him out!"

The three fire

Vedro:Defends! (78)

Elerotrooper:Does (41) Damage!

Does (36) Damage!

Does (38) Damage!

Vedro:He coughs a bit, and rubs his chest, as it burns, "Well, I can't say that was present."

"But I don't think you all understand."

"I said you were the ones at risk."

He begins approaching them

pleasant*

Elerotrooper:"He's coming!"

"What do we do!"

"Don't let him get to his feet!"

Shoots! (116)

Shoots! (111)

Shoots! (98)

Vedro:Defends! (118)

He ducks down, and then steps forward, and goes to throw an overhead right at the one in the center

Attacks! (168)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (87)

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

Duga:"He has it handled. Let's move on."

Elerotrooper:"SIR!"

"They finally came for us!"

Duga:"Before more come..."

Isa:Isa agrees, as shown by her moving on and continuing to through the palace

Duga:He follows

Vek:He nods to Vedro and follows the others

Elerotrooper:"We can't take him!"

"Stop it!"

"We can't!"

The three fire again

Shoots! (133)

Elerotrooper:Shoots! (89)

Vedro:Defends! (127)

Defends! (126)

Defends! (90)

Elerotrooper:Does (32) Damage!

Olivar:He hesitates

Elerotrooper:Does (36) Damage!

Vedro:He coughs a bit, and says, "Oh... yea. That really hurts."

He then reaches into his coat pocket, and grabs something, "Been a while since I used this..."

He then pulls out an Electrosword, pulling it up over his head and then swinging it down at the one he hit earlier

Attacks! (131)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (32)

"OH SHIT!"

Olivar:He sighs, pulling out his lightsaber, and runs in to help Vedro

Elerotrooper:He can't take it as the one to the left starts freaking out as the one to the right continues to believe they're coming for him

Vedro:Does (31) Damage!

"Come on! You wanna keep going, or calm down?!"

"I'll take you all out!"

Elerotrooper:The center one falls as the one to the left goes to fire letting out a yell, and the one to the right fires as well, saying

"I knew the great hunt would call for me."

"I just didn't know it would be while I was so young."

Shoots! (46)

Shoots! (49)

Vedro:Defends! (136)

Defends! (84)

He ducks down, dodging both attacks, as he flicks the blade, and goes to swing up into the one on the right's arm

Vedro Uses Parry!

Vedro:Attacks! (176)

Does (25) Damage!

Elerotrooper:Defends! (60)

He has no control over the sword cutting through his armor and upper stomach as he falls back

Olivar:He runs up behind on of the troopers and goes to gut them

Attacks! (115)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (6)

Olivar:Does (41) Damage!

Elerotrooper:"Oh, god damn it! The hunt!"

The trooper is taken out as the Trooper on the ground in front of Vedro goes to fire, screaming once more

Shoots! (105)

Vedro:Defends! (126)

He hops to the side, and goes to raise his foot up and stomp on his head

Attacks! (97)

Elerotrooper:Defends! (33)

"NO!"

His head is crushed under Vedro's foot, just enough that it kills the trooper, but not enough that it busts it open like an egg

Vedro:He goes to follow it up by hopping up, and elbow dropping him, before hopping back up

Olivar:"You okay there, Greenie?"

Elerotrooper:The trooper is dead

Vedro:He then picks up his dead body, and looks to the other tens of troops, "So, you wanna step into the ring?"

Elerotrooper:The other troopers have pretty much exited the palace, and are now outside, still fighting something that can not be seen

Vedro:"I guess not." He turns and walks, the dead body slung over his shoulder

Olivar:"..."

"Okay then."

He follows

Isa:While Vedro and Olivar stayed back fighting, Isa lead Duga and Vek through the hallways, eventually stopping in front of a large door where she turns back, saying

"Alright, unless they found it, only Hanz and I know about this passage."

Duga:"Best to assume that they know."

Isa:"Should we wait on the others/"

"Go back for them or continue forward?"

Duga:"The longer we wait, the more chance there is for us to be found, but it is not my decision."

Vek:"Those two got whatever they're doing under control, we just need to move."

Isa:She enters the restroom and luckily finds no one, allowing herself a moment to breath a sigh of relief, she goes over to one of the sinks and turns a few knobs before pressing in a button in the right side wall, causing one of the mirrors to click before swinging open, allowing her to press another button on the other side, causing the sink to the left to lower, revealing a passage behind the wall

Vek:"Well, that's neat."

Isa:"Alright, let's go."

With the passage now open, she continues to lead the way, bending down to get through the initial opening before rushing up the stairs that it leads to

"It was a fun surprise."

Vek:He follows

Duga:He as well

Elerotrooper:As Vedro and Olivar start to make their way through the palace, they run into a couple of troopers as they run past them, paying the two no mind, except one who stops and looks between the two, asking

"Who are you two?"

Vedro:"I'm a doctor."

Olivar:"An assistant."

Elerotrooper:"A doctor? How?"

"Scale Skins can't be docs."

Olivar:"...he heals people, what do you mean 'how'?"

"Listen pal, trust you me, this man is the best doctor this side of the equator."

Vedro:"Absolutely."

Elerotrooper:".. I doubt that, highly."

Vedro:"Your friends are having a hard time outside, by the way."

Olivar:"Despite his scaley outwardly appearance, he can perform combat surgery like no tomorrow."

"There's a reason he was hired."

Elerotrooper:"Oh!"

He runs past them

"I know wookies that are better than you!"

Olivar:"..."

"Huh."

Vedro:He looks back, and says, "Well, that's dealt with."

He turns and keeps walking

Olivar:He does the same

Isa:It takes several minutes of running up the steps, but Isa finally makes it to the top and stops to catch her breather where she asks, glancing back to the two

"Alright, we have just a little bit more after this wall."

"Last stretch."

Vek:He nods

Duga:"This has been too easy..."

Isa:With a few moments passing, she straights up before pulling a level on the wall where the stairs lead which lowers it, leading into another bathroom

Quickly going to the door, she peeks out to see no one before looking back to the two

"I agree."

"This is supposed to be the big place, right?"

"With all the guards and troops."

Vek:"...."

"Yea..."

Isa:"I don't feel right about this."

Vek:"..Me either."

Duga:"In the worst case, we slaughter the ones who spring the trap."

"Best case is no trap."

Isa:"I'm not sure if that's the.. worse case."

"I'm pretty sure us dying would be the worse case."

"Living seems to be in the midd- What am I doing, I'm wasting time with nothing."

"Alright, I'm just.. Should we continue?'

"We should."

Duga:He nods

Isa:"Alright, I'm going."

She runs out and continues to follow a path, along the way they see no body, not a single troop or rando anywhere

"Why isn't any one here?"

Vek:He wipes his brow

Isa:"Cyler must have did a great job with that detraction."

distraction*

Vek:"Let's hope so.."

Isa:They finally get to the top floor where Isa finds the door they've been going for and opens it

Elerotrooper:Vedro and Olivar come across a single Troop, standing guard to a door beside a set of stairs

Olivar:He goes to walk through

Elerotrooper:As he goes to walk through, the troop takes a step to the side and holds out his hand to stop Olivar

Olivar:He shakes his hand "Pleasure to meet you too."

He continues walking

Charms! (121)

Elerotrooper:Charms! (64)

The trooper looks down to their hands for a moment, babbling his words

Vedro:He follows behind Olivar

Elerotrooper:".. Huh.."

They enter a room filled with food and weapons of all types as the trooper looks back to them, he coughs before turning back, believing they are Officer Commander Nathanial Ren

Olivar:He begins inspecting the weapons

And food

Elerotrooper:The food is all in extremely good condition, and the weapons seem to have been kept up

Olivar:He grabs a fruit and tosses in his hands, walking out "Good man." He hands it to the trooper and walks up the stairs

Before he walks up, he comes back down for a moment "And your name is...?"

Elerotrooper:He looks to the fruit for a moment before looking back to the amazing Officer Commander Nathanial Ren, dreaming he could one day be half the man he is, that is until the OCNR asks him a very serious question

"My name, sir?"

Olivar:"Yes. Your name."

Elerotrooper:"Ernast. Ened Ernast, sir."

Olivar:"I'll keep that in mind." He salutes, finger guns, and walks up, having Vedro follow

Elerotrooper:He gives a salute before thinking about the finger guns

Time

Alaska (GM):As she opens the door, Isa, Duga, and Vek finds a room that appears to be out of a fantasy for a princess, as two people sat in the middle of a room, a man with a fro leans against a table, back turned towards them as the second person is a female trooper with her helmet off as she sits on the bed

Narrator:Damn you Alaska!

Duga:He looks between Vek and Isa

Isa:She stares at the figures, standing just in front of Duga and Vek

Vek:"...."

Duga:He whispers "Do you know them?"

Dawseast:Looking over to the three, she gives a scoff

"I guess he was right."

Isa:She shakes her head as the man turns around

Omarbra:"There is a reason he's the big guy."

As he stares at them, he lights his saber

Vek:"Goddamnit."

"Come on, you don't gotta do this."

Duga:He chuckles

Omarbra:"Actually, we kind of have to kill the girl."

Dawseast:"You two don't got to do this."

"You can run along."

"We won't chase you."

Vek:"That's cute."

Dawseast:"I try."

Vek:"Well, we're at an impasse here."

"Cause, I'm not stopping at this point."

"And neither are you, clearly."

"So, who's your next of kin?"

Duga:His saber floats from his robes and he lights it

Omarbra:"Was the a threat?"

"That was bad."

Vek:"No"

"I just wanna know where to send the ashes."

Duga:"If there are any left."

Omarbra:"Alright, that was a threat!"

Vek:He draws

Dawseast:"You ready, Om?"

Omarbra:"I was going to ask you the same thing, Daw."

Duga:He flicks his hand toward himself, going to draw Dawseast into Vek's saber

Duga Uses Force Pull!

Duga:Uses the Force! (110)

Dawseast:Toughs it Out! (81)

"Wha-!"

The group finds Daw getting tumbled from the bed and thrown towards Vek&

Omarbra:"Oh shit, dwag! You can use the force!? That's sweet!"

Vek:He steps to the side

Duga:Does (34) Damage, With the Force!

Dawseast:She finds herself being thrown down the steps behind them, screaming

Omarbra:"Man, you tossed my girl out the room."

"That's messed up."

Duga:"I was fully expecting two pieces to go down those stairs."

Omarbra:"You meant to throw your friend too?"

"That's cold!"

Duga:"..."

Vek:"...That's not what he meant you fucking.."

Duga:He gives a forlorn look to Vek

Vek:He sighs

"Who sent you?/"

Omarbra:"Hayden."

Vek:"......Who?"

Omarbra:"How old are you?"

"HAYDEN!"

He lets out a yell

Vek:He lets his almonds activate

Omarbra:"Did you hear that time. old man?"

Vek:"That mother fucker!"

Duga:"..."

Vek:"YOU mother fucker!"

Omarbra:"Me?"

"You who?"

"You him?"

Duga:"Can we simply move to fight or not?"

Vek:"Yea."

"You go ahead and finish what you started, Duga."

Dawseast:Suddenly, Duga finds fire behind him as Daw comes flying back

"Hey! Maul!"

Shoots! (55)

Duga:Defends! (63)

He sidesteps

He holds his saber at the doorway so she either has to stop or get cut

Attacks! (69)

Dawseast:She stays in the air, flying with her jetpack, her gun aimed at Duga

Defends! (87)

She doesn't go near Duga's saber, instead firing again

Shoots! (73)

Duga:Defends! (137)

He flicks his wrist, deflecting the one blast that neared him

"Do you intend to stay down there?"

Dawseast:"Bitch I'm above you!"

She says, still in the air above them, firing once more

Shoots! (52)

Duga:Defends! (76)

He sidesteps and sends his saber at her

Duga:Uses the Force! (111)

Dawseast:Defends! (135)

She dodges the saber and fires

Vek:He steps away from all of that

Duga:Defends! (52)

He doesn't get the saber back in time and is hit

Isa:Isa and Om stand near Vek, watching

Dawseast:Does (32) Damage!

Duga:He has to take a step back, and looks up at Daw while his blade comes back from behind

Dawseast:Defends! (63)

"NO!"

Duga:Lucks Out! (65)

Dawseast:She finds her side getting cut through as she slams into the stairs under her as the jetpack explodes on her back, causing a cloud of smoke

Omarbra:"Man, you got her again."

"Good job, Maul."

Duga:"So is this over?" He wipes the spot where he was shot

Omarbra:"It will be."

After this, Duga and Vek hear a lightsaber start before seeing a purple blade shoot through Isa's stomach

Isa:She looks over to Vek as she didn't see this coming before getting kicked down the stairs

Vek:He attacks Omarbra

Omarbra:He jumps back

Duga:He goes to float Isa back before she gets far

"What the fuck just happened!?"

Vek:he stomps on his head

Duga:He looks to see if Daw lives

Vek:Makes a Dexterity Check! (154)

Dawseast:The cloud begins to go away, showing Daw on her stomach, barely moving

Omarbra:Defends! (145)

"AH SHIT!"

Vek:Does (47) Damage!

Omarbra:He sees it coming

Duga:He approaches

Omarbra:His head gets stomped against the ground but he isn't out, he brings his blade up to cut at Vek's leg

Duga:Uses the Force! (113)

Vek:He's out

Omarbra:As Vek hits the ground from his legs being cut up, Duga uses the force to knock Om around

Toughs it Out! (173)

But he can't do anything as he uses his one good leg to jump at him, swinging his saber

Attacks! (128)

Duga:Defends! (66)

Omarbra:Does (96) Damage!

Duga:If not for his natural heat resistance, the slash would have melted his internal organs "You, wretch.."

He reaches out and his saber comes at Om's back on its way to Duga

Uses the Force! (99)

Omarbra:"We said you two could walk on, now look!"

"I'm missing my fucking limbs!"

Toughs it Out! (122)

Defends! (115)

He does a front flip, dodging the saber as it returns to it's owner

Attacks! (73)

Duga:Defends! (89)

He deflects "It seems you won't be doing much walking then." He sends it out again in a small circle

Uses the Force! (115)

Omarbra:Defends! (127)

Once again, he dodges

Antwale:Vedro and Olivar makes it up another flight of stairs as they spot two elerotroopers standing side by side, talking before turning to the two new comers

Asking in one of the deepest voices they've ever heard

"Who are you?"

Olivar:"Ah, security inspection. I understand not saluting, as I surprised you two, but next time this happens, it's an infraction. Understand? Dismissed."

He keeps walking

Vedro:He continues with Olivar

Antwale:"Who are you?"

Both of the troopers take a step over, as Antwale brings his hand up

Olivar:He flashes his wallet, walking backwards up the stairs, never stopping. "Corporal Ankerlin- soldier, I suggest you step back in line. I'm a busy man."

• Omit

He flashes his wallet, shaking his hand "Corporal Ankerlin- soldier, I wouldn't suggest being so informal with officers anymore." He keeps walking

Antwale:"Corporal Ankerlin?"

Olivar:"Do you have a fucking problem, soldier?"

Charms! (98)

Antwale:Charms! (56)

"Au.."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Olivar:He keeps walking

Antwale:"I didn't."

"Officer Cammander, what do you say?"

Vedro:He continues with Olivar

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:"I think this is bullshit."

The second figure steps forward, pointing to Olivar

"Stop!"

Olivar:He stops. "What the fuck did you just say, soldier?!"

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:"I said STOP!"

Olivar:He looks back "I oughta have you STRUNG UP BY YOUR GOD DAMN TOES FOR TALKING BACK TO ME!"

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:"I'm Officer Commander Nathanial Ren!"

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!?"

Olivar:"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SIGHT! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"

"I'M DONE!"

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:"That's it, Antwale, fire!"

Shoots! (88)

Antwale:He stares&

Olivar:"You GOD DAMN TRAITOR!"

Charms! (115)

Antwale:Charms! (56)

He aims and fires

Shoots! (83)

Olivar:Defends! (106)

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:Defends! (128)

Olivar:"STAND DOWN!"

"STAND DOWN, NATHAN!"

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:He ain't having it, both dodge before OCNR fires back at Antwale

"The hell are you doing!? He's the traitor!"

Olivar:"IT'S OVER!"

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:Charms! (110)

Antwale:Charms! (133)

"NO!"

He continues firing!

Shoots! (131)

Officer Commander Nathanial Ren:Defends! (52)

"OH SHIIII!"

OCNR can't finish his words before he is mowed down&

Olivar:"Shit...shit..."

"During an attack?"

Antwale:"I'm sorry, sir!"

Olivar:"A fucking traitor...I'm sorry you had to have this happen, soldier..."

Antwale:"I had no idea I was with a traitor all along!"

Olivar:"...God damn...Alright, soldier, what's your name?"

Antwale:"Antwale, sir!"

Olivar:"Alright, Private, I assume?"

Antwale:"Sir, yes, sir!"

Olivar:"Alright...at the base of the stairs, there's another soldier, Ernast Enaid....get him up here to clean this up. I'll make sure you two get a medal for this, you'll have my word...now," He turns to Vedro "Upstairs! Who knows what the hell he was trying to distract us from!"

He starts booking it

Antwale:He rushes down the stairs

Dawseast:As Olivar and Vedro make it to the bottom of the next floor's stairs, they see a woman aiming a blaster at the back of Duga as he fights a one armed one legged man

Olivar:He holds Vedro back, and force cloaks, nodding to Vedro half way through transformation, and starts to move up, aiming to go past her

Vedro:He looks at her, then back to him, then back to her, as he nods back, and then he runs up to her, turns on a heel in front of her, and goes to DDT her

Attacks! (190)

Dawseast:Perceives! (61)

She has no fucking clue

Vedro:Does (88) Damage!

Dawseast:Daw can't take it

Olivar Uses Force Cloak!

Dawseast:Her head is gone

Omarbra:Om looks back, calling out

"Holy fuck!"

Vedro:He hops up to his feet and points at Omarbra, "You're next, motherfucker!"

"I'm a Rodian Metal Machine!"

Omarbra:"Oh shit!"

He goes to swing his saber at the new threat in town

Attacks! (123)

Vedro:He starts running up the stairs, not stopping

Defends! (123)

Olivar:He arms a grenade, and puts it in Omarbra's pocket, uncloaking, and nodding to Vedro

Omarbra:Perceives! (134)

Olivar:Uses the Force! (130)

Omarbra:He looks to the grenade

"AH!"

Vedro:He then runs up to Omarbra, "Enjoy the view!" He then goes to grab Omarbra, and throw him down the stairs

Attacks! (155)

Duga:He's watching in disbelief

Omarbra:Defends! (107)

"DAIO!"

He lets out a death cry as he is thrown all the way down stairs before slamming against the ground below, exploding as he hits the ground, opening the floor

Olivar:Does (46) Damage!

Vedro:"That's fucking right!" He stomps his foot, and screams to the ceiling

Olivar:"BITCH!"

He walks up the stairs "What'd I mi-"

Duga:He wastes no time to look to Vek and Isa "We have a problem."

Olivar:"NO SHIT!"

"SHE'S FUCKIN-"

Vedro:"Oh shit!"

Olivar:"NO!"

Vedro:"I'm on it!" He rushes over

Duga:"Medi- Good."

Isa:She lays on the ground, having crawled over to Vek, she is on her back, holding her stomach

Vedro:He stoops to a knee, next to Isa and Vek, "I'm on it! You're both going to be okay!"

Olivar:"WHAT HAPPENED?!"

Isa:"I've never been stabbed by one before"

Letting out a grunt as she talks through heavy breathing

Olivar:He rushes over, sliding on his knees

Duga:"That one you detonated was quite the combatant."

Vedro:He goes to do his thing, working on both Isa and Vek, (86)

Narrator:Vedro can see he can heal both Isa and Vek, but both will have major scaring and maybe a few minor issues, but they'll live

Olivar:"Who the hell were those animals?!"

Vedro:"Son of a bitch... I wish we could have been here earlier." He rubs his hands across his head

Olivar:He stands up

"God damn!"

Duga:"Assassins or bounty hunters."

He takes the opportunity to look around the room

Olivar:He does the same, looking for the communicator

Narrator:Olivar finds no communicator in the room

Olivar:He goes over to Isa "Hey, you're doing great, you're doing great. We're going to get you out of here ASAP, but where's the communicator?"

Duga:He moves the bed

Isa:"It's should be on the right side of the room. On the table."

While difficult, Duga moves the bed but finds nothing underneath

Olivar:He looks to exactly where she describes

Isa:Olivar finds nothing but holobooks and dust as the room appears to have not been touched for weeks. On the table in the middle of the room sits a communicator, but only one for short distances, nothing like what they were looking for

Olivar:"What the fuck...WHAT THE FUCK?!"

He flips the table

"ISA, IT'S NOT HERE!"

Isa:"What?"

She asks faintly

"But it should be."

"Right over there."

She attempts to stand up but can't, instead she pushes herself against the wall to peak inside

"That's where it was. It shouldn't have been move-"

Isa:Isa finds herself being cut off as the sky darkens, the sound of engines fill the air

Duga:"We must hurry."

Olivar:"...I knew it, I FUCKING KNEW IT!"

"Either Cyler or fucking that TROOPER betrayed us!"

"God DAMNIT!"

Duga:He begins moving anything available to look for the device, making the room look like a mage's tower of dancing objects

Olivar:He looks out of the balcony

Narrator:As he looks outside, Olivar sees tens of twenty of ships lowering down to the world outside

Olivar:He looks for an ensignia

Narrator:He sees nothing

Olivar:"GOD DAMN PURGS!"

"...WAIT!"

"I GOT THIS!"

"VEDRO, I NEED YOU TO COME WITH ME!"

Vedro:"Wait... I could, but I gotta make sure they're alright..." He looks back between Vek and Isa, and Olivar

Olivar:"Fuck...alright, FUCK!"

He looks to Duga "Follow me, but stay behind."

"I don't want anyone seeing you."

Isa:She lets out a cough

Duga:A book floats into his robe "..."

Olivar:"DUGA, I HAVE LITERALLY NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!"

"HURRY THE GOD DAMN UP!"

Duga:He sighs "Then let us move."

Olivar:He starts going down the stairs, down the hole, and running down the stairs, or until he runs into the two soldiers

Duga:He follows, a decent bit behind

Isa:"Think he's going to be alright, Vedro?"

Vedro:"I think so. I just wish this hadn't gone like this..."

Isa:"It's my fault. I was dumb, I didn't see him behind me."

Vedro:"Look... I know nothing about what happened. But fuck those guys."

"Whoever they were, I don't really care. Just wish... son of a bitch, man."

Antwale:They reach down the stairs to find Antwale and the trooper just getting back from getting rid of the body

Olivar:"Soldiers!"

Antwale:"Yes, sir!?"

Olivar:"At ease."

Antwale:They ease

Olivar:"Do you know where the long range planetary communicator is? Someone seems to have moved it without telling me."

Antwale:"No, sir. Hayden and the Queen had it taken out of the palace."

(From Duga): He's fuming, almost permeating the air with anger

Olivar:"God damn, no one ever tells me anything..." He shakes his head "How the hell am I supposed to do a security inspection without knowing where things are secured?!" He sighs "Sorry, that was unprofessional of me. Do you happen to know where that is, for future reference?"

(From Duga): I went along with this to get off of this damnable planet that they were so set on saving, and now I have nearly died for nothing!

Antwale:"Where what is? The LRPC?"

Olivar:"Indeed."

Antwale:"I believe Hayden and the Queen took it to the next town, something about the new queen's quarters were being built."

Suddenly the elerotrooper next to Antwale flies away from them as heavy breathing can be heard

Olivar:"ANTWALE, COME HERE!"

He pulls out his lightsaber

Hanz:He backs up to Olivar as the sound of a lightsaber can be heard along with footsteps before a sweaty young man takes the final steps up the stairs

"This..."

Olivar:"H"

Hanz:"Is fucking stupid."

Olivar:"H-"

"YOU'RE ALIVE?!"

"Well, shit, she did tell me you were..."

"Kinda forgot about that...'

Hanz:With a face of pain and anger, he looks to Olivar

Olivar:"HOW'D YOU GET HERE?!"

Hanz:"Why in the fuck are you here!?"

Olivar:"I-"

He looks to Antwale

"..."

Antwale:Antwale looks to Olivar

Olivar:"Antwale, did you grow up on this planet?"

Antwale:"No, sir."

Olivar:"...Get out of here, soldier. It's for the best. This is top secret business."

He salutes

Antwale:"But, sir.."

Olivar:Charms! (55)

Antwale:Charms! (94)

Makes a Willpower Check! (62)

"Isn't he an enemy?"

Olivar:"This is above your paygrade, hell, I would say mine, but I don't have a choice in the matter."

"There are some things you just can't know, soldier."

Antwale:Makes a Willpower Check! (101)

Olivar:Charms! (41)

Antwale:"I'm sorry, sir. but I don't feel right about this."

Olivar:"Nothing about this is right, Antwale!"

"That's the point!"

"I have to do my job, and as your superior, I'm ordering you to stand down and save your own ass by getting out of here."

Antwale:Makes a Willpower Check! (86)

Olivar:Charms! (111)

Antwale:He gives a salute before moving on

"Yes, sir!"

Olivar:He looks to Hanz "Aren't you supposed to be with your fucking...Uncle?"

Liev :Walking up from behind him, the man nods

"He is."

Olivar:"I'm here with Isa, we're trying to call the fucking republic to get some help here!"

Duga:He steps down "It seems things have changed once again..."

Olivar:He looks over his shoulder "These guys are relatives of Isa, they should be alright."

Hanz:"We're here for Isa."

Duga:"Then you had best hurry upstairs."

Olivar:"Wait."

"How'd you know she was here?"

Liev :"I put a tracker on her, figured she'd do something dumb like this."

Olivar:"..."

Liev :"Very noble, but not smart."

Olivar:"...."

"A-A tracker?"

Liev :"Yeah."

"We had best hurry, the Elerotroopers aren't very tough, the Purgs on the other hand."

Isa:Isa watches as Vedro sees Vek opens his eyes

Vek:He tries to sit up a bit looking around

Isa:While Isa isn't able to stand due to her torso hurting, Vek finds his torso is fine, the only thing that hurts is his legs

Vek:"Son of a bitch..."

"Losing an arm and a leg just made him more nimble.."

Isa:"I'm sorry."

Vek:He looks at his own legs "Just hope I don't lose mine..." He looks over "You got nothing to be sorry for, I don't know why I let him just....stand next to us. Glad you're not dead."

Isa:"I should have known what was going to happen. It's my fault your legs got hurt."

Vek:"..I think it was the guy who cut them up's fault, to be honest. That or my own."

Time

Hanz:"Where is she?"

He asks through huffs, sweat dripping from his chin

Duga:He indicates up the stairs

Olivar:He thinks for a moment, his mind working hard "D-"

"..."

"D-Do you think someone could have tracked the tracker too?"

Liev :"Yes."

Hanz walks past Olivar and begins up the stairs, Liev following

Olivar:He walks in front of them "What are you doing here, really?"

Duga:"I think the enemies are here because the palace was attacked."

He starts up as well

Olivar:"HEY, FUCKS!"

Liev :Both of them stop and looks back to Olivar

Duga:He doesn

doesn't*

Olivar:He gets in front of them all "Why in the hell do you think it would be a good idea to put a tracker on her when people could intercept that?! It seems like they have been since Day 1! DUGA!"

"Were those people waiting on you guys?!"

Hanz:"Maul. Show me to my sister."

Hanz says, looking to Duga

Duga:"He poses a good question."

He has stopped a few steps up

Hanz:Giving a glance to Duga, he continues up the stairs, rushing past Olivar as Liev walks a bit behind him

Olivar:He exchanges glances with Duga

He lets them walks on ahead, and to cut them off, goes up the hole

Hanz:Finding Olivar in front of him, Hanz looks past him, to the top of the stairs were he sees the top of a green head

Duga:He stands behind the two as Olivar is at the top "What is your plan after you find the princess?"

Hanz:"To take her home."

Duga:"Considering this was her home, I find that hard to understand."

Olivar:He makes a noise to get Vedro's attention

"We can get the republic here."

"There's a communicator in the town over that can connect us to the core."

Vedro:He looks up and over, "What? You found it?"

Liev :Obviously getting angry, Hanz goes silent as Liev says

"We're taking her to my home."

"As for the republic."

Olivar:"We thought it was here, but someone ratted"

"They moved it."

Vedro:"... Son of a biiitch!"

Liev :"They could care less about this world."

Duga:"I happen to agree." He says pointedly at Olivar

Olivar:"This place is apart of the republic, right?! Why wouldn't they? A gang's taken it over, why would they just let a gang of all things let erode their image?"

Liev :Hanz continues up the stairs as Liev raises his left hand

"While your goals, as far as I know, are noble, you aren't going to be able to save this planet. The republic has more pressing matters in the inner cores. We're in the outer rim, it would take several days for them to get here and by the looks of things, I don't believe the people here have that long."

Olivar:"Well, they won't at this rate!"

"We can't just doom an entire planet to die, for Huap's sake!"

Duga:"Regardless of whether Isa is taken to the republic or not, we should leave here. We gain nothing by staying in the palace."

Olivar:"Not to mention the Leets are behind this all!"

He's rambling at this point

"I mean, we can't just let this win, any of it!"

Duga:"OLIVAR!"

Olivar:"WHAT?!"

Liev :Reaching the top of the stairs, Hanz ignores Vek and goes to his sister, as the two embrace, Liev continues to try and talk about the situation

"We're not dooming an entire planet."

"It was doomed before us."

Duga:"On the rare occasion, I'm going to be the one to say calm down."

this*

Olivar:"Wh- we can't just- this is- what do you mean it was doomed?!"

"They didn't even get a fair shot!"

Vedro:He stops for a moment, running his hand over his head again, trying to think of what to say

Olivar:"The resistance leaders were in it with the Purgs, I just-"

"This-"

Liev :"You all can do as you will. I'm simply informing you that my family and I are leaving, and we advise you to do the same."

Olivar:He's about to have a breakdown

Vek:He goes to find something to help him up to his feet

Duga:He sighs and returns to the main gathering in the room

Vedro:"So you're telling me that this whole fucking plan, everything we did, was for nothing. And that everyone here is doomed to die anyway?"

Duga:"Did I not say that was the case before?"

Vedro:"I was just doing what my employers decided. And I thought it was a cause that was worth the effort."

"Honestly, I assumed this dumb bitch actually had a handle on the situation."

"But apparently she's not worth a goddamn. That's part of what I got out of it."

Isa:Hanz helps Isa to her feet as the two begin walking down the stairs, Vek finding the strength to shakily get to his feet and walk

"Wha-.. I.. I'm sorry, Vedro."

Olivar:He's looking around frantically at this point, taking off his to breath, locking eyes with Vek

Isa:"To all of you."

"But I'm not leaving."

Vedro:"Don't apologize to me."

Liev :"Yes you are."

Vedro:"I'm gonna make it out regardless."

He points to the balcony, "Apologize to them."

Vek:"Vedro."

"At ease."

Vedro:"Alright, alright."

Hanz:Looking to the ground, Hanz hits the back of her head, knocking her out before putting her over his shoulder before starting to walk down the stairs

"We don't have time for this. Let's go uncle."

Liev :"What the hell..."

Vedro:"Nice, man."

Liev :Letting out a sigh, Liev looks to the group

Olivar:He lights his saber

Vek:He tenses but he knows he can't really do anything in his state

Vedro:"Just so you know, she was in pretty bad condition."

Vek:"Olivar, don't."

Vedro:"Giving her a concussion now isn't the best idea."

Liev :Hanz puts Isa to the ground before both Liev and Hanz light their sabers

"I really would prefer we don't do this."

Vedro:"Hey now, motherfuckers."

He steps up, "Yea, same here. So step back."

Liev :"Lizard, we're trying to be civil about this, despite my nephew's rashness, we really do need to be going."

Vedro:"Yea, we're on the same page then."

Duga:"Can we discuss this on our way out of the palace? All of us should move."

Vedro:"I don't know what the fuck we're gonna do about this shithole, or this situation, but I think we should avoid this fight. It won't end well for anyone."

"I'm a bit upset right now, but that's fine. Just don't threaten my employer or my partners."

Olivar:"WE CAN'T JUST GIVE UP NOW! GOD DAMNIT, VEK, WE- WE MADE A GOD DAMN PROMISE!

Vek:"OLIVAR!"

Liev :With both of them turning their lights off, Hanz picks up his sister and continues, Liev walks down the steps backwards, watching the party before turning around and walking forward as he reaches the bottom

Olivar:He grips his saber tightly

Vedro:"Just so you know." He leans in, "I could have let her die. So you're welcome!"

Vek:"We're in a real checkmate here, if you haven't noticed."

"Even if we beat them, then what?"

Liev :"Thank you, Lizard, I will make sure to get her medical attention!"

Vedro:"... You mother-- alright."

Duga:"Now, let's move."

Olivar:He looks out the balcony, to see if he can see the town

Vedro:"Let's hope I never find her in the same situation!"

"It won't go the same!"

Olivar:"...what's the difference between saving this planet and revenge..."

Vedro:"Goddamn!" He punches the floor, and sighs, "We need to find a way out..."

"This is hopeless."

Liev :There isn't a town in sight, as the two are now out of sight

Vek:having not been filled in, he looks around "What happened after I went out? Where's the communicator?"

Duga:"Not here. And we have enemies closing in. I suggest we move out of the passage we came in from."

Vedro:He stands and walks over to Vek, "Want any help moving?"

Vek:"No, but I probably need it."

Olivar:"They knew we were coming...Isa has a fucking tracker that those two morons put on her..."

Narrator:Olivar watches as the ships that have been hovering begin to lower getting closer to the ground

Vedro:"Sorry..." He reaches over, and takes a hold of Vek, going to try and help him

Duga:He starts for the secret passage

Olivar:"I think someone knew what we were looking for, hacked into her tracker, and have followed our movements ever since..."

Vedro:"You know, just-- son of a bitch, man."

Vek:"Thanks.." He makes sure he has his lightsaber and puts it on his belt "Just follow Duga for now. We can sort out what we're doing when we have some breathing room."

Olivar:"...a soldier told me that they moved the queen and the communicator to a near by town..."

Vedro:"Alright, alright... gotcha." He sighs and goes to walk with Vek, following Duga

Olivar:He grabs his helmet, putting it back on, and begrudgingly following

Narrator:Duga and the others manage to make it to and through the passage with no interference, reaching the bottom and exiting the bathroom just as Hanz and Liev are walking down the final flight of stairs to leave the palace

(To Abrax): Abrax begins feeling a sense he hasn't felt in what feels like ages, growing as if something was getting closer

Olivar:He stops

Vek:He shakes his head a bit "Duga, Olivar."

Olivar:"...something....something is coming."

Vek:"Huh?"

Olivar:"Fast."

Vek:"Where?"

Olivar:"I don't know. But closer to here."

Duga:"Then we must hurry to our route out."

(From Abrax): He tries to glean as much information as he can from whatever is coming

(To Abrax): As it gets closer, the feels slows as he remembers what it was; Mercer

Olivar:He has a new found emotional control over the situation, nodding

"...should we go with them?"

Vek:"Might as well ask."

Olivar:He let's Vek lead the way

Vedro:He walks with Vek still

Olivar:"Mercer."

Liev :Stopping to turn and look to the group, Liev asks

"If you all wish to join us, we have enough room."

"However I ask that you do not attack us."

Olivar:He starts shaking almost, walking out "...Mercer..."

"...who's..."

Vek:"..You alright, buddy?"

"Who the hell's Mercer?"

Olivar:"WE GOTTA GO!"

"NOW!"

"RIGHT NOW!"

• He starts running for the ship "I DON'T KNOW, BUT THEY'RE COMING! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!

"

Liev :With a nod, Liev continues on, leading the group into a nearby alley where a ship is, allowing everyone to get before starting it, he makes sure everyone is good

"Last chance to get off before we leave."

"Are you all ready?"

Vek:"Define Leave."

Olivar:"WE'RE NO MATCH FOR HIM! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND, MOVE!"

"ANYWHERE BUT HERE!"

Liev :"We're leaving this world."

"Alright."

Vek:He shakes his head

"Sorry, can't do."

Liev :Liev gets behind the controls and starts off

"Can't do?"

Vek:"I got people here. We got our own ship, I'm not leaving them behind."

Olivar:He looks out a port hole, dashing from each one

"LET'S GO GET THEM, COME ON, JUST MOVE!"

Vedro:"FUCK!"

"ASHERA!"

Duga:He steps on "To stop Olivar's screams, let us leave this area at least."

Vedro:"You're right, son of a bitch!"

"I left him in that goddamn death camp! Him and Marko and... fuck!"

Liev:"Point the way."

Liev says as he stays low, the ships above them quickly getting lower as he rushes out of the city, dodging building after building

Vek:He gives as best directions as he can to the others

Liev:Liev follows the directions as well as he can, and before too long they can see the 'death camp' just over a hill

"That it?"

Vek:"Yea."

Liev:"You said you have a ship, right?"

Vek:"That's correct."

Liev:"Alright."

(To Force): The three forcefuls in the group can feel something off as screams are let out from the force, a dark aura comes from the middle of the camp

Liev:Stopping just outside the camp, Liev opens the ramp saying

"I appreciate all of you helping my niece. Especially you, Lizard."

"However I'm afraid that we can do nothing for this planet. Her wishes were that of a naive child."

"I'm sorry if she caused any of you pain or anymore trouble than you would have been in regardless."

Olivar:"...."

Vedro:He chooses to say nothing

Olivar:"...M-Mercer?"

• He points, asking someone"

• He points to the camp

Vek:"Olivar, what the fuck has gotten into you?"

Duga:"It may be best to leave those to in the camp to their own devices."

Vek:"Duga."

"Go fuck yourself."

"I'm not leaving anybody behind."

Vedro:He rolls his shoulders, and goes to step off of the ramp, into the camp, and he just looks at it

(From Abrax): He is now awake and constantly scanning the surroundings the best he can as he wasn't expecting to come out of hibernation especially by Mercer

Liev:"I will wait here for a few minutes, however if you do not come back, I will leave."

Duga:He sighs "Then we should hurry."

Vek:He follows, leaning on Vedro for support

Olivar:He walks out, pulling out a saber he forgot he had, turning it on, but it doesn't, and he realizes what's been going on

He runs up to Duga and Vek "Sorry- it's the light saber ghost." He holds it out "He could feel something coming, and I think it's here..."

Tyzen:As they walk through the camp, they find nothing but death as the remaining soldiers have all died, along with the slaves that were left, several cyborgs lay on the ground around Tyzen as he sits on his knees, the source of the dark aura as tears stream down his face

Duga:He walks toward the child

Tyzen:As Duga gets closer, he finds Tyzen jump up, lighting his saber going to attack the zabrak

Attacks! (30)

Duga:Defends! (67)

Vek:"W-"

Vedro:"... Oh."

"FUCK!"

"GODDAMMIT!"

Tyzen:Duga is able to dodge as Tyzen lands on his feet before finally seeing it's the group, his body shaking as he drops to his knees, tears continue to stream

Duga:"It seems you have fought well, child."

Vedro:"Tyzen!"

"Where are the others?!"

Tyzen:"I'm s-s-sorry!"

the boy lets out through sniffles

"They took them!"

Vek:He tries to walk on his own, towards him "Who!?"

Vedro:"..." His heart sinks

Tyzen:"Marko and the other one.. I hid as they said and watched as they were taken by the cyborgs!"

Olivar:He grips his saber tightly

Vedro:"F-... F-..." He can't even speak, as he begins to shake. He grabs a fence post next to him and grips it tightly as well

Tyzen:"When they started attacking the people, I tried to stop them but I co-.."

"So I killed them."

"The cyborgs that stayed."

Duga:"Good."

Vek:He just stares at Duga

Duga:"That is less cyborgs to worry about."

Vek:"Sure."

Duga:"The child fought for what he thought right. Surely you could commend him."

Olivar:"...Tyzen..."

"Duga, shut up."

Vek:"Commend him, Duga, this is a goddamn tragedy!"

Olivar:"Tyzen....this..."

Vek:"Tyzen, I'm glad you're okay."

Olivar:he isn't sure how to word it "...Come back to us, man. Get out of there."

Tyzen:Letting go of his lightsaber, Tyzen runs to Vek, giving him a hug as he lets out cries of fear and anger

Vek:He pats his back "We're almost done..this is almost over. Just get on that ship, alright? We're gonna figure this out."

Duga:He floats the saber to his hand and holds it until Tyzen is ready to take it back

Vedro:He rips off the piece of the fence he was holding and throws it out into the distance, screaming himself in frustration

"Son of a bitch! Fucking cyborg fucks!"

Tyzen:Hiding his face in Vek's clothing, Tyzen tries to stop his crying but can't manage it, instead he takes the saber and runs for the ship

Vek:"Yea.."

Vedro:He just sighs, and rolls his neck a bit, trying to calm himself down

(To Force): Suddenly, as if the force was torn apart, the three forcefuls hear nothing but chaos in the force for several minutes before everything stops and goes quiet

Olivar:"....Mercer."

Narrator:While it isn't visual, everyone hears an explosion in the distance, from where the palace was

Vek:He rubs his head "Getting real sick of that shit..."

Duga:"It seems we do not have the time to chase those captured down."

Vek:"...."

"Duga."

"We just went over this."

Duga:"And we just heard the palace likely explode. Your point?"

Vek:"You know what?"

Liev:The ship begins roaring, getting ready to leave

Vek:"Back there, when I thought I was about to die? I thought we were cool."

"I thought you had my back."

"But you're still the same old Duga."

Duga:He starts toward the ship "I respect your strength, Vek, but that does not mean I agree with you."

Vek:"I'm fully aware that you don't agree."

"And that's fine."

"But I'm not abandoning my crew."

Duga:He steps on the ramp "Then that is your choice to make."

Vedro:He takes a breath, and starts to say something, but stops himself, "Take care of yourself, Duga."

Vek:"Hold up, now."

"We're still getting to our ship."

He goes to get back on board the ship

Olivar:He boards the ship as well

Liev:"Got your people, Vek?"

"Are you ready to go?"

Vek:"One of them."

Vedro:He shakes his head, "Goddammit... fine. You're right." He looks out at the horizon, but then turns to get back onto the ship

Vek:"The others were captured."

Liev:"You know who?"

Vek:"Cyborgs, so, I think we have a good suspect."

Liev:"The Purgs."

"If they aren't killed here, they're likely going to be taken to the Centipede."

"Well, I am sorry to hear this, however I must make sure that my family is safe."

"If you want to join us, I can get you to your ship."

"Or you can get off here and search the planet for your friends, though I will warn you."

"It's unlikely you'll find them in your condition."

Olivar:He looks to the palace outside of the porthole, and then looks to Vek

He looks down to the busted lightsaber

Vek:*He's thinking&

"I wouldn't even know where to start looking, to be honest.."

Liev:"I'll give you a few more moments, however I do not want to take too long. The Purgs have passed through the Gate, leaving it open however it will be closing any minute."

Vek:"Everyone's thoughts?"

"Except Duga."

Duga:He scoffs a bit

Hanz:Hanz is in a room with Isa, making sure she is alright as he tries to calm down

Olivar:"...hmm..."

Vek:He looks to Liev "Do you know how the Purgs treat their prisoners?"

Tyzen:Tyzen sits against a wall, thinking about the event he was apart of while the group was gone

Liev:"Depends on the group, however most of them treat them fair. It started out as a group of prisoners so they know the hardship that comes with imprisonment. Not saying they are going to be in the best state if you were to leave them, but they shouldn't have any broken bones."

Vek:"..Okay then."

"Take us to our ship, if you'd please."

Liev:With a nod, Liev gets back behind the controls and takes off

"Is your ship in the gate?"

Vek:He nods

Liev:It takes some time, but the ship finds it's way into the gate, before being directed to land by some Elerotroopers

"Good luck to you all, Vek, Vedro, Olivar, and Duga. I again, apologize for the trouble my family has caused you, however I appreciate your willingness to help."

"I will return in twenty days to Kalinda."

"If you meet me there, I will do my best to help you find the Centipede."

Elerotrooper:The intercom turns on as some Elerotroopers ask

"Who is this?"

Liev:"If you all hurry, I'll try to keep their attention while you get to your ship."

Vek:"Thanks for helping us out."

Liev:"It is the least I can do for your troubles>"

Olivar:"...keep her safe."

Vek:He takes off his Tatooine Junk charm, and goes to hand it to him "If it's not a big deal for you, can you... give that to Isa?"

Liev:Taking the charm, Liev nods, looking to Vek

"I can."

Duga:"Then it is time we leave."

Vek:"Thanks." He gives him a little wave and goes to wait by the ramp

Liev:As Vek goes for the ramp, Liev lowers it

Vedro:He heads down the ramp then

Olivar:He heads down the ramp as well

(From Duga): he doesn't

Vek:He follows after Vedro, trying to walk on his own, but trying to stay close in case he can't

(To Duga): "Are you going?"

(From Duga): "If you are willing to drop me on a nearby planet, then no. They have goals that do not align with me."

Liev:The ramp shuts as Liev responds to the troops

"Don't worry about us. We're leave."

Elerotrooper:"Huh?"

Vedro, Olivar, Tyzen and Vek watch as the ships lifts before leaving, Elerotroopers chasing as the room starts to flood with them as they get to their ships

Vek:"..."

Tyzen:Tyzen looks back

"Where is Duga?"

Olivar:"...."

He looks to the ship leaving

He flips them off

Specifically Duga

Vek:"...."

Olivar:"...how much do you want to bet they were in league with Duga, and she's fucking dead?"

Vedro:"Like I said, take care of yourself, Duga."

Vek:"I'd doubt it."

"I just hope they don't trust him."

(From Duga): He uses his communicator to contact Wepol and have her meet up with them

Vek:"That.."

He thinks back to Duga's last words

"That fucking asshole."

"Let's go."

He sets off for their ship

Vedro:"Look, we're better off anyway. He didn't given a shit about any of us."

Tyzen:Tyzen keeps his head down as he stays close to Vek

Vek:"Yea, no shit."

"Just.."

"Let's try to be quick about this."

Tyzen:Getting to their ship with no problem, Qotaro can see them outside the ramp as the room continues to fill with troopers, getting in their ships and chasing after Liev, Duga, and the others

Qotaro:"Watcha ba?" He goes to lower the ramp

Tyzen:As they get on their ship, Tyzen grabs onto Vek's clothing before falling onto the ramp as behind them a yell comes out

Qotaro:"Aaahh, gatcha!"

Dareks:"Duga told me all about you you little shit!"

"I'm going to fuck you up!"

"You broke her! So I'm going to break you!"

Vedro:"What the fuck?!"

Vedro:Defends! (121)

He ducks, "You fucked up now!"

He comes up with an uppercut

Attacks! (96)

Olivar:He thinks for a moment

Dareks:Defends! (99)

Tyzen is taken to safety, as Vek can see he is still alive, breathing fine, only fell due to the pain and sudden shock of the surprise attack. the others look back as Vedro misses

"You want to act like a man, I'll treat you like a man!"

Vedro:He widens his feet and does a 'come on' gesture

Olivar:He looks outside the ship

"...OH SHIT!"

Vedro:"You're coming with me, motherfucker!"

Vek:"Oh shit!?"

Olivar:"There's a fight!"

Vek:"...."

"Yea."

"DUGA sent him!"

Qotaro:"GAAAH!"

Olivar:"....WHAT?!"

Dareks:Everyone can see that as Vedro pulls Dareks, a bunch of Elerotroopers stop to see the event

"NO!"

Qotaro:"GATCHA BAAA!"

Olivar:"WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!"

Dareks:Shoots! (112)

Olivar:"I WAS distracted."

He jerks himself to the side, and goes to throw Dareks into the ship

Dareks:"NO!"

Defends! (51)

Vedro:"YEA!"

He runs up the ramp, "LETS GO!"

Dareks:D can once again do nothing as he finds himself being thrown into the ship

Vek:"Q, O, restrain him."

Qotaro:"GATCHA!" He goes to raise the ramp and take off

Vedro:He tries to tackle Dareks

Vek:"...Actually, good point."

Elerotrooper:Having just watched an unmasked elerotrooper get thrown into the ship, several troopers aim and fire

Olivar:He looks to the troopers "...nothing to see here." He runs farther back in and uses his cuffs

Elerotrooper:"STOP!"

Vek:"Just focus on getting us out of here, Qotaro."

Qotaro:He goes to gun it out of there

Elerotrooper:Defends! (18)

Dareks:Defends! (10)

Dareks doesn't see it coming as he was reaching for something in his suit

Qotaro:"GAAAATCHA!"

Olivar:He huddles over, and tries to cuff Dareks

Qotaro:Speeds Away! (16)

Dareks:"NO!"

Dareks tries to fight but finds his stamina is basically gone as Qotaro burns several of the Elerotroopers as he speeds out

Qotaro:"BEEEETCH!"

Dareks:Several of the Elerotroops get in their ships and begin following the Ural

Olivar:He stands "...what do you mean?" he says outloud

Elerotrooper:Speeds Away! (12)

B8-G6:While Qotaro manages to get them out of there, Bait informs him

"Master Qotaro, there are three ships following us."

Qotaro:"Aaaah, gatcha! Beetches!"

Makes a Strength Check! (84)

Dareks:Makes a Strength Check! (55)

"I..CAN.. BREAK.. THESE.. CUFFS!"

He can't break those cuffs

Qotaro:"Gatcha." He pats B8's shoulder and lets him pilot, as he grabs his wrench and walks overt o Dareks and Vedro, smacking the wrench in the palm of his hand, "Aah... beetch."

Vedro:He steps back and cracks his knuckles, "So... the fuck's your name again?"

Dareks:"Dareks you green puke looking iguana!"

Vedro:"Dareks. Alright."

Vek:He walks over

"How the hell do you know Duga?"

Dareks:"From your nasty ass ship!"

He yells before spitting at Vek but missing horribly

Olivar:He pulls out his pistol, and whacks him

Tyzen:Tyzen watches from a distance

Vek:"W-"

Olivar:He looks over, and then to Tyzen

Vek:"It's you!"

"What the fuck did Duga say?"

Dareks:"He showed me how that little zabrakian bitch!"

"Took away my baby!"

Vedro:"Who the fuck... you mean Isa?"

Dareks:"NO!"

Vek:"..Daisy."

Vedro:"Who the fuck is your baby?"!

"Daisy?"

Dareks:"I MEAN MY- DAISY!"

Vek:"Look."

Olivar:He takes Tyzen into another room "Come on...you've been through a lot."

Vek:"I'm sorry."

Tyzen:Tyzen follows Olivar into another room

Dareks:"Sorry won't cut this!"

"Only death!"

"Of that piece of shit!"

Vedro:"Shut the fuck up!"

Vek:"Who?"

Dareks:"Tyzen!"

Vek:"W-"

"What!?"

Vedro:"Goddamn, I am so fucking tempted to bash your brains in, you fucking shitbag!"

Dareks:"He killed my baby!"

Vek:"W-"

Vedro:"Tyzen didn't do a goddamn thing1"

Vek:"No he fucking didn't!"

Dareks:"He used his fucking light sword and ripped my baby in half!"

Vek:"Did you get fucking amnesia?"

"YOU WERE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED!"

Dareks:"Duga showed me the way!"

Vek:"WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN!"

Dareks:"If it wasn't for that child, she would still be here!"

Vek:"How?"

Dareks:"What do you mean how!?"

"If I hadn't fought the child, it would still be here!"

Vek:"..."

"Think about that for one goddamn second."

"Really just let it sink in."

Vedro:"Oh, goddammit, I forgot!"

"Yea, when you fucking shot him!"

Vek:"And think about who's really at fault for fighting a child."

Vedro:"In a fist fight, you fucking idiot!"

"Goddammit, son of a bitch!"

Dareks:"He should have lost, he cheated!"

Vedro:"HE CHEATED?!"

Dareks:"Duga said I should have waited until we were alone and he was right!"

Olivar:He sits in the room with Tyzen, and actually begins meditating, holding the busted lightsaber in his lap

Dareks:"Damn it!"

Vek:"You justt..."

"You go on and tell us everything Duga told you."

Dareks:"The child kept being mean, he started the fight!"

Vedro:"Vek, I swear to fucking god."

Olivar:He looks surprised

Dareks:"He said that I couldn't take you all."

"But I shouldn't just let Tyzen take away my Daisy!"

Vedro:"This stupid, bat-faced fucking piece of shit is..." He takes a breath

Dareks:"So I should kill the boy when we were alone."

Vek:"He said that?"

"Exactly thatt?"

Dareks:"To get revenge for what he did!"

"Yes!"

Vek:"Okay."

"Okay."

"Alright."

"Yea."

"Vedro, knock him out."

Vedro:He gives him a surprise left out of nowhere

Attacks! (180)

Dareks:Defends! (104)

Dareks did his best, but he didn't know it was coming as he is out

Vek:"...."

Vedro:"Fucking... wanna space him?"

Vek:"No."

"He's just a fucking idiot."

Vedro:"Son of a bitch!{"

Vek:"BUt..."

"Duga..."

Vedro:"Oh yea, no."

"I agree."

Vek:"That...."

Qotaro:"Gaahh!"

He goes to leverage the wrench onto one of Darek's face spikes, and goes to yank it off

Vek:He winces

"Q, ease up, man."

Qotaro:"Betch!" He flexes on Darek's body, and then looks at Vek and nods, "Aaah, gatcha, gatcha."

Dareks:Tyzen and Olivar hear a blood curtling scream as a piece of Darek's skull is ripped off

Olivar:He looks around for a moment, shaking his head

Koek:"Oh god.. Help me, I'm sorry!"

Vek, Vedro, and Qotaro hear from the locked room

Qotaro:"BEEETCH!"

Vek:"...."

Qotaro:He bangs on the door

Vek:"Uh.."

He goes to the door

"You alright in there?"

Koek:"It's dark!"

"So so dark!"

Vek:He looks to Qotaro "There a light switch?"

Koek:"I'm so alone!"

Qotaro:He nods, and goes to flick it

Koek:The flicks on as the man lets out another yell

"AHHH!"

"It's so bright!"

"God is that you!?"

Vek:"You'll adjust."

Koek:"I don't want to go!"

Qotaro:"Betch."

Koek:"Please!"

Vek:"Q, go ahead and open the door."

Koek:His yells turn into cries

Vedro:He sighs, and goes to lift Dareks up

Qotaro:He goes to open the door for him

Koek:As the door opens, the man falls to the ground as he was leaned again it

"Oh, please!"

"Help me!"

"Wait.."

As his eyes adjust, he sees the group

"You're all alive?"

Vek:"You did it."

Koek:"I d-d-did?"

Vek:"You killed the son of a bitch.

Koek:"But it came out here?"

"I heard it kill you."

"All of you."

Vek:"No, you were hallucinating."

"It drugged you."

Koek:"Oh.."

Vek:"But you pulled through."

Koek:"I did?"

Vek:"Yea."

Koek:"Oh.. Good."

Starting to calm down, he wipes the tears and sweat from his face

"Well.."

"Where is my armor?"

His face is stuck with confusion as Vek feels something crawling down his lip

Vek:"Lemme go find it." He goes searching the ship

He looks for a mirror as he does this

Narrator:As he goes to search, Vek finds dizziness overcome him. Finding a mirror, he sees he has a heavy nose bleed however before he can do anything else, everyone hears a thud as he faints*

Qotaro:"WH-- AAH!" He runs over

Vedro:"Oh shit!" He goes to check on Vek

(To Vek): As he feels the floor, Vek finds himself standing in the middle of a city as a person lifts a cloak up, revealing his face before cutting down a person as they beg for their live. The city around Vek is burning as screams of horror fill the air

(From Vek): "W- what the fuck is this!? Who are you!?"

(To Vek): The figure looks to Vek, raising his saber, walking towards him, however just before he goes to attack, the face changes as the body turns into smoke, a different walking out of the cloud and stopping in front of Vek

Hoyler:"This is one of three paths my son can take. Vek, I ask you to protect him, steer him away."

(To Vek): "This is one of three paths my son can take. Vek, I ask you to protect him, steer him away."

(From Vek): "W-Who the hell are you? Who's your son? What is this?"

(To Vek): "Tyzen. If you allow him to meet Leats, he will embrace the ways of the Sith."

(To Vek): "I ask you, protect him while I can not."

(From Vek): "L-"

(From Vek): "This mother fucking Leats!"

(From Vek): "And..."

(From Vek): "Aren't you, uh, dead?"

(To Vek): "With the help of a friend, I have managed to manipulate the force."

(To Vek): "Do not go to the Centipede, you will lose more than two of your alleys."

(From Vek): "So you want me to just let them die?"

(To Vek): "If that is the Force's wish."

(To Vek): The Maul's face begins to distort as he says "Please, hurry, I do not have much longer."

(From Vek): "I don't give a Huap's ass what the Force wishes!"

(From Vek): "What about Duga? Does he have any play in this game?"

(To Vek): "Duga is apart of a didn't game, it's table however is close. You will likely meet him several times, however it is not you that will kill him. He will take care of himself."

(To Vek): different*

(From Vek): "Oh, oh, we'll fucking see about that."

(To Vek): "Yes, you will."

(From Vek): "I'm getting real sick of this fucking shit."

(From Vek): "You mother fuckers and your goddamned force."

(To Vek): "Don't trust Liev. He will lead you to a trap."

(From Vek): "Oh, this is just gonna happen, the force wishes it. Oh, but this other thing, it has three different outcomes -- Go fuck yourself with this predetermined shit."

(From Vek): "Either I can make every choice in my life or I can make none of them. You can't have it both ways."

(To Vek): "We are free to make the choices, however in the end, we all become one with the force."

(From Vek): "You know what? You don't have to worry."

(From Vek): "Tyzen

(From Vek): "Tyzen? He won't end up like that. Nor like you."

(To Vek): "I understand you disagree with things and you are confused, I too did not understand until you saved me from enslavement, Vek. I sure hope you manage to keep him in the right direction." With that, the Zabrak puffs into smoke

Tyzen:Tyzen was just walking out as Vedro gets to Vek to check on him, he wakes up, having just been out long enough to fall

Olivar:He follows Tyzen out of the room "What happened? Is everyone alright?!"

Tyzen:"What's happening?"

Tyzen asks, looking at the scene

Vek:">..."

Olivar:He looks to Dareks "You bitch!"

He's about to pimp slap him

Vek:"Cool it."

He gets to his feet

Tyzen:"Are you alright? Did you all?"

Vek:"Yea, I fell."

Tyzen:fall*

Vedro:"Well... you seem fine. Physically at least."

Vek:"Yea.....Fine. I'm fine."

Koek:"What the hell is going on?"
