The Dark Unknown (rpg) Sign Up (Page 9 of 17)

As the Jedi decide what will happen to the bomber, he stands up and looks at each Jedi Master and grins.

Britton: You know as you sit there, there have been something going on, no one checked to see if I had anything on me. If any of you were smart, you woulda checked my boots, and found my commlink.

The Jedi look cautious.

Britton: Now.

Just after he said the words Tamos appeared to the shock of every one who thought he was dead.

Tamos: First the two girls and that dog and now all of you, today was a win.

He then grabbed Britton and teleported as a shot from Tamos's ship blowing up most of the room.

Dacrott: That was beautiful.

Dacrott: A friend of yours?

Tamos: Maybe.

Britton: Thanks...Oh wait, she is with you?

Sara Jane is looking horror as she sees her brother injured but yet barely look hurt.

Nitsua stops and feels the explosion as he looks towards the council chamber.

The distraction allows Venrii to break off the two and pushes off Astra and tries to bite Nitsua's neck.
------------
------------
Kraven and Zeta stare down one another.

Kraven: So let me ask again, what do you need?

Zeta: You were seen in a skirmish here a week ago. I want to know what happened to the others.

Kraven: I don't know, it's been a week and I've been here.

Zeta: My sensors claim you are lying.

Kraven: Why do you want to know?

Zeta: My reasons are to me and my master.

Kraven: Who is your master?

Zeta: Data not available to outsiders. This is going nowhere. I need you, if you don't comply, then force is nessecary.

Lillithen arrises and searches the room to find everybody either dead or dying, with no sight of the bomber...or the woman.
------------
------------
Danden and Brutas hear news of the council. The whole ship erupts in victory. Danden feels deeply disturbed, even a bounty Hunter has their limits.

As Kraven was pushed out the door he turned to Shab, "You got the hangers open yeah?" He asked.
----------------------------
----------------------------
Nitsua rushed to Sara Jane and helped her up to her feet. "I know this is hard, but we need your help. Is there any thing we can use to help stop or slow him?" He is looking at the girl.

She stands there looking down the street at her brother. "When we were younger, he had to get his legs repaired from an incident on the farm. He had to get surgery, if you can get to his legs, you should be able damage the things inside to slow him," She stands still looking as her brother is starting to get up, "There is no saving him is there?" She turns to Nitsua with tears streaming down her face.

Nitsua looks down the street and understands that whatever happened to him isn't reversible, or if it is, they haven't found it. He looks at her and shakes his head. "I don't think so."

Down the street, Venrii is getting back to his feet.

Nitsua has Sara Jane stay back. He doesn't feel she should be apart of this. He makes it back to Nei and Astra. "So did you come up with a plan? He has his back legs repaired, she said we take those out he should be partially paralyzed."
-------------------------------

Tamos brushes off what Fraya has said. "Look, we needed all hands on deck, there is a war coming. Best thing to ever happen, literally just happened. The thing with the girl and the dog was purely coincidental, not saying that it feels me with happiness that three of the most annoying people in my life are soon to be dead, but now the Republic won't have allies for a while and this means that it's a win. I'm not in this for myself, this came from the top." Just as he is finished with his sentence a female comes from the other room of the ship.

"Our enemies need to be assaulted, massacred, and dead. This is just the first step. Now you were smart enough to go into the teleportation field, the others weren't. So now you're here, and just like that you happen to be the last member of the council alive on Coruscant, I know how much you enjoyed your little sabotage role, but now you get to have the ultimate role as you will rebuild the council and then use it, however you want. Tamos and Dacrott here are just happy to have the council dead and this is the greatest thing to happen to us, because now you can turn the Jedi against the Republic." Penalla states as she is waiting for a response from Fraya.

Shab managed to resist flipping Kraven a rude Mandalorian gesture. "Yes." She replied instead. Then she saw Xam raise her head out of cover where she and the other two were providing covering fire to keep the fighting away from the hangar. "Duck." She added seriously, diving down to avoid whatever it was that Xam was about to do.

==========

Xam had managed to organise the other two relatively easily, they were clearly used to fighting, she just had to get them used to fighting with more than just each other.

For now, however, she had one of Shkala's incendiary grenades and was busy adding a sonic blast to it. Then leaning out of cover just long enough to shoot at them to get them where she wanted them, and tossed the grenade as Shab saw what she was up to.

==========

"A droid stun should have similar effects." Astra suggested. "Nei can you slow him down? That gives me a good shot, and leaves Nitsua free to pin him down if this doesn't entirely disable him."

Nei nodded, and braced herself, readying herself to slow Venrii when he started running at them.

==========

Fraya regards Penalla coolly. "Intriguing. Accusing the Republic of failing in their duties to the Jedi should work well enough. However to have a council worth using, there has to be more than one member." She paused. "So do I get any recruits? Any survivors? I'm not fussy, but rebuilding would be quicker than building."

"And you know that how?" Shab asked, and as she and Kraven reached a good covering fire spot in the hangar, she signalled Xam. Who directed Kric and Shkala towards the bay doors. They were swift but careful.

Just as Kraven was about to answer Shab used her scanner to open the TMT's hatch.

==========

Nei dropped down to clasp Sara Jane's shoulders as she continued to stare at her brother.

Both Astra and Nistua stood in silence for a moment, before the twi'lek spoke. "We need to find out what that was, so it doesn't happen again."

==========

Fraya continued to look unreadable for a few moments before she spoke. "Then send me the dossiers to the usual place. I better get back before anyone gets suspicious."

With that she indicated to the ship's tech to teleport her back, nearby enough to explain her survival and not be suspicious. In fact as she found the response teams even she found herself surprised that they didn't question how she was all right and just accepted her help.

Shab looked from Kraven to the guards on the floor, and back again. Then turned to Xam. "Check on them." She added, before hurrying after Kraven, regardless of what was about to happen he'd need a copilot, if not someone to provide some convincing codes for departure to prevent Junkka sending anyone to escort them back again.

It didn't take Xam long to check on them, the toxins were of such low level that their immune systems were already winning again. None of her antidotes would be required. It didn't take the three of them long to get them to the commons and bind them up. After a quick search Xam hadn't found any more sophisticated way of ensuring they wouldn't cause any problems on board.

Shkala was sat on the table opposite them when Xam returned, examining them with curiosity, while Kric observed as if bemused. "You know, we could just kill them and toss them out of the airlock..." Shkala suggested, leaning in close to one and bearing her fangs.

"Tossing them out of the airlock will do both." Xam retorted.

"So why would we need to keep them?" Shkala asked, leaning back and now toying with a thin dagger.

"Leverage." Kric stated. "Or perhaps ransom would be more to your preference." He added with a knowing grin. "You might be able to upgrade your grenade launcher."

==========

Nei nodded. "Though I'm not sure there is anywhere safe right now." She added, encouraging Sara Jane to her feet.

"We better take him with us, I don't trust that there won't be more trouble otherwise." Astra admitted, indicating to where Venrii still lay, appearing dead. Yet why didn't she truly believe that was the end of it? Nitsua nodded, and as Nei and Sara Jane headed in one direction, they collected Venrii and headed towards the explosion.

They arrived to find rescue efforts already under way, and they instantly went to offer their services. "Fraya!" Astra recognised her friend. "Fraya what happened?" She asked, hurrying over.

"The bomber, the one who was on trial, had one last surprise for us." Fraya explained. "First we find survivors, then we address the security concerns, as it would appear that we are currently vastly unprepared."

"Xam, get on the turrets!" Shab shouted from where she was still sat in the copilots chair, flicking one of the switches above her head as she tries to manoeuvre away from the ship chasing them. "I bet it's that bloody droid..." She muttered to herself.

Xam hurried to do as she was asked, whilst the other two looked at each other and made a start on moving the bodies towards an airlock. Though Shkala checked their pockets for goodies first.

"Wait, before you two toss anything..." Shab started, eyes still on her controls as Kraven took his pilot's seat again. "Do you still have your comm link?" She asked Kraven.

==========

Astra stared after him with her hands on her hips and a slightly incredulous look on her face. "He's always been arrogant." She muttered, turning back to Fraya. "What happened?" She asked more seriously.

"I could ask you the same thing." Fraya replied, indicating to the creature Nitsua was carrying.

"We followed a darkness, found him attacking a young girl. Dealt with it." Astra summarised. "If you won't tell me what happened then tell me how to help."

Fraya considered this. She had already briefly outlined the bomber had done it, any other details at this stage would probably backfire on her later, and she didn't want Astra helping look for survivors, she'd probably be too efficient at it. "We already have people searching the rubble." Fraya explained, indicating Astra follow her. "We have already found survivors, though we are short on healers."

Astra nodded and turned to the make-shift camp where survivors were being brought, with frantic medical staff running between them, though few Jedi. Even in the survivors there were few Jedi amongst them, mostly civilians come to watch the trial of the bomber. Astra rolled up her sleeves and set to work, she could help here.

==========

Nei tugged on Sara Jane's arm, the girl had insisted on finding a vantage point to see what had happened. And Nei had humoured her, but now they needed to go and find somewhere safe to recuperate after the fight. And Sara Jane needed time to grieve.

Nei took the girl back to where the Jedi Council chambers used to be, after the initial wave of bombings many of the buildings around the area had been abandoned by those who lived or worked there. They were empty, and people had already had plenty of time to finish looting. Even so, she picked one that looked least appealing to looters, and encouraged Sara Jane to sleep, whilst she kept watch for now.

"Not just the port..." Shab corrected. "And they've gone now, there were a few other manic escapes." She added, as she had time to figure out all the readings rather than a few dots on a screen careering towards them as the ship shook.

Xam jumped back down. "We were fifty clicks out, how could-"

"There's nothing left." Kric interrupted, looking out of one of the view ports.

"Either way, I'm voting away from here." Shab added, as she flicked a few more switches. "I've locked in our signature to flux out during our journey, with any luck they shouldn't be able to track us completely."

No one can see the smirk on Shab's face. "Oh, I'm way ahead of you." She assures him. "Comm link, now. I'm not having some demented droid in need of a memory wipe undoing all my hard work." She pauses with her hand out towards Kraven. "I'll make you a new one, a better one." She entices.

Meanwhile Xam tells Kric and Shkala to gather their mines and grenades whilst she goes to plug in a planet at random. Right not she doesn't care, they can change course later if need be, but anywhere has to be safer than Junkka. Or what was left of it.
