Grissk heard the emergency alarm on his way to the bridge from the hangar and sent a platoon of droids to take care of the problem. A few moments later, he heard and felt the explosion and rushed back towards the hangar. Inside he saw at least a dozen TIE fighters.

Imperial scum, on this ship? Upgrades are needed.

He cut through the few that the Imperial Commander left behind and ran after the rest of the boarders. He followed them through the ship coming to the engine room doors, without traversing the entire ship, there was not a way in from this side. He shook his head, loathe to destroy any part of a ship he'd come to respect, and began cutting through the thick doors that had been put in place. It took some time, but he made his way through far enough to where he could Force the blast doors open. Inside he saw that the engineers inside had been killed, many by saber slashes.

Imperial Jedi, or Karcot is on this ship. Why did I not kill him when I had the chance? He's too far into Thrawn's teachings to see the truth.

He searched the engine room after noticing that all doors had been sealed. He found the bomb soon enough, as familiar he was with what was and wasn't supposed to be in there, as well as being thrown face first into it when the ship jumped. He removed it, but knew that he couldn't disarm it. He did the next best thing, he took it back to the hangar, where he saw Pana exiting a transport, more or less unharmed, something that gave him a sense of relief. He instructed one of the pilot droids to take one of the Interceptors and fly into whatever hangar it came to first, be it Republic or Imperial, neither mattered to the Trandoshan.

"My Queen,"He quickly ducked his head and fell in behind her, a determined look on her face, saber in hand, which he mimicked.

Pana stopped and spun around on her heels, causing Grissk to stop too. She brought her sabre up to his chest and narrowed her eyes. "Who do you serve, who do you take orders from alone? Are you with me or Master Ryn?" She asked, confident as can be.

i kow it short, but its to get a point across.

Grissk was quite taken aback by this turn of events.

Whom do I serve? Is it not obvious? I serve our Master Ryn'Talos. What is she doing?

"I serve my Lord, Pana. Do not forget your place in our Order. Your Master is mine."

He had drawn his own lightsaber out of instinct and had a single beam activated,in line with her stomach.

 

[mcpop9]

Pana force pushed him back, sending Drissk flying. "I know my place in the order, to kill Ryn and take the reins. Now are you going to stand with me or will i have to kill you too? Ryn is corrupted by the old ways of the sith, i'm going to reshape them into the justice of the galaxy.We'll put an end to all wars by showing how terrible they can get. Now i ask you again, will you join me or stand for the lies of the old?"

 

[Redryhno]

Grissk landed on his feet, and opened up both beams of his saberstaff.

"I fight for the Sith, uncorrupted by the lies and mistakes of the old, and Scorekeeper.If you feel you must kill me, do not forget exactly how powerful I am, Pana." He lifted his lips into a fanged snarl,"I believe that the Sith can become what our founders millenia ago believed we could be.The Jedi, the Republic, and the Empire cannot do those things."

He lowered and deactivated his lightsaber, but did not put it back on his belt.

He got on his commlink, directly linked to the droid flying the ship with the bomb,"New orders, land in the orbiting shipyards."

 

[mcpop9]

Pana's eyes went wide. "Those shipyards are the reason for taking this planet. destroy them and you'll be disobeying Ryn's orders. He is nothing but a vessel of the old, stealing bodies to continue living. You want to become the next in line? the next Vessel for him?" She asked getting ready attack, need be.

 

[Redryhno]

"Those shipyards are the only reason both the Empire and Republic are here as well. Destroy them, and the planet is no longer under threat.The people on there are dead whichever of us takes it. This way, they serve no purpose for anyone."

 

[mcpop9]

"And with it goes any chance of winning this war. I need those shipyards for a fleet. Order the droid to deliver the package to the head empire vessel. That is a direct order." she said gripping the sabre even tighter. This would be the defining moment for the rest of the war.

 

[Redryhno]

Grissk knew he did not stand very much of a chance against Pana when it came to their mastery of the Force, he just did not have the potential she did. But he did know that he could take her in a saber duel, but that was not wise at the moment. He growled, frustrated at the position he had been forced into.

"Droid 74X-9... belay that order.... return to fighter's original Imperial hangar.Do not let that bomb be destroyed or defused."

"I believe that Karcot, the man in charge of the Imperial assault, is still on this vessel. Alone, I can take him, together, he is less than an insect. If we go now, we can at the least capture him, he is a good candidate to train. If he can be convinced of Thrawn's short comings, we gain yet another powerful ally."

 

[mcpop9]

"Now that that has been taken care of, take me to the place you found the bomb. We'll come up behind them." she said and they took off down the hallway.
Pana let Grissk take the lead towards the bomb's original location.

I'm confused. Did Pana agree to a ceasefire or not?

 

[mcpop9]

Spoiler: ooc

Grissk listened to her, showing some kind of loyalty, no matter how begrudged. and if you're speaking of the republic, yes it was an agreement to the ceasefire.

Hey everyone, sorry for going dark the last few days, but with the end of the school year approaching my days are getting more and more hectic. I definitely won't be abandoning you guys, and I would be really grateful if one of you could sum up the important events since my last post. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Spoiler: The Story So Far

Most of the action has been taking place around Mon Calamari. The Sith, Republic and Empire have been tearing each other apart. Highlights include the Imperials getting their asses kicked before agreeing to a temporary truce with the Republic to drive off the Sith, only for it to fall apart as soon as their goals were achieved. The Republic slammed a Sith super star destroyer into a city to break their hold on the planet. Most of the Sith forces are scattered, but still fighting back, while the Imperial attack forces are continuing to pound the fleets in orbit.

In other areas of the galaxy, Caster and Vorir are still on their way to Abregado Rae, awaiting input from either you or Mortis Nuncius.

On Nar Shaddaa, bounty hunters Nova Thanewulf, Tarr Voxin and Delras Zex met up at the site where Gasanda the Hutt was just executed by Nova, and decide to have a drink.

Deeper in Hutt Territory, Julia and Sarik joined forces to discover the location of the Sith artifact, culminating in a detour to the Hutt's palace to assassinate the Hutt Gregori that had cause all their trouble from the start.

Oh, I was kinda waiting on you there. I was hoping some people would start taking initiative and developing the plot as we go along. It isn't that I don't mind driving everyone and letting them react, but right now it seems that perhaps two stories are operating without my input.

Just hold off for a while. I already started working on the post.

Sarik
Passing through Kor Desilijic's atmosphere, Daekaris's ship swooped below the hull of an incoming Hutt warship. Their gamble had paid off. The safety of the Kajidic was drawing the ships towards the planet, making it easier for their ship to escape the border patrols. And with the Hutt's word that they would be unharmed, bypassing the home fleet proved to be a simple task as well. Shaking his head uncertainly at whatever threats awaited them, Daekaris punched in the coordinates to Vjun, and the ship rocketed into hyperspace.

During the transit, Sarik felt the need to get some questions answered. "What is Vjun exactly? I'm just curious, since whatever this scepter is, I have a bad feeling that it's guarded, no doubt. Any ideas on what to expect when we get there?"

Abregado-Rae
Vorir's shuttle was hidden in plain site amongst the countless ships docked at the massive spaceport. Commercial shipping was a major focus for the planet, and the vast strips of landing pads built to accommodate starships of all shapes and sizes reflected the business practices. Between the kilometer long intergalactic trade ships that would strike out for neighboring dwarf galaxies such as the Rishi Maze, and the smaller, sports field sized bulk freighters, Vorir's shuttle was a speck unnoticed in a sea of filth.

That was the second thing most people noticed about the Abregado spaceport. It was disgusting. The air was choked with engine wash and ionized air, and the cleaning droids seemed to have given up their duties based on the futility and attrition their task attracted. Clad in a grimy jacket he picked up from a side vendor, Caster looked suitably disheveled as he wandered through the spaceport alongside Vorir. He'd learned to keep his clothing inconspicuous since the last attack on Obroa-Skai. He still had to work out his posture, but, baby steps.

Settling down in an open air tapcaf, Caster carried a pair of drinks to the table, dropping one in front of Vorir. He eased himself into his chair and took a sip. It was a caffeine beverage of some sort, warm in his throat, with a hunt of some nut or bean he couldn't quite label. Probably a local variety. It woke him up at least.

"So," he started. "Now that you are free, what will you do? There's still the issue of those mercenaries. And my offer to find the Scepter of Ragnos still stands."
