It's All Coming Together...; Yet it just raises further questions...

Kirabi Cloud waits outside the base he was told of, surveying and picking out the defenses listed for him. A sense of apprehension comes over him as he realizes just how fortified it is, yet it might as well have an OPEN sign hanging out front - not a single sentry was on the perimeter. His team has prepped themselves, and all they wait for is his command....

Alex Chan, Shika DaRey, and Taji Basra make their way to the base as well, approaching from the other side. Navigating through the rusting pipes and machinery has slowed them down, but they are not far from their objective. However, they are stalled when they spot a familiar pair of speeders...

Selan Kiyra and Talos Kosh stand idly by, tied up and Force Dampeners placed on their heads. Yet even their well-prepared captors could not predict or prevent the peculiar bond they share from reaching a new dimension. As both try to make sense of the confusing and disturbing images that haunt their minds simultaneously, they have little choice but to wait for the 'guests' mentioned to show....

What a mess...I just hope Lania's able to find some place where she'll be out of this mess for now. Wait...those speeders...weren't those that other jedi padawan's and her pursuer? Maybe we should look to see if there's any clues for where they went... Alex thought to himself

"Aren't those speeders the ones we saw near the CSF station? Is there any clues which direction they went or do you think they'd be close enough for either one of you to detect them with the force? Alex asked taji and Shika.

After Alex asked that, he'd look around for any clues on which direction they went until one of them presumably attempted to find the speeder's former occupants with the force and either found them or had no luck.

Aa Talos stood bound and helpless before his former team, his former crew, his former companions, he couldn't help but think of the stinging betrayal of it all. He had done his duty admirably. Was it his fault that their fearless leader had turned out to be more psychotic than even he imagined?

Though the force dampener would make it impossible to use his powers as he had done once before, it did not cut off the strange bond he shared with Selan. The lucid "dream" he had shared with her was still fresh in his mind. The three quadruped creatures were still with him. He wondered what they meant. He didn't even know what two of them were.

But he was growing impatient with the team, mostly due to the annoying cryptic speech from Woaran. "What's the big idea, ya knuckleheads? Why are you passing the buck for all this to me? All I did was help us make some good lettuce. Nothing but an eager beaver I tell ya."

Looking through his binoculars, Kirabi took one last look at the enemy base, normally fortified beyond the capabilities of his team, but with a suspiciously abandoned perimeter. Rather than think of this as a lucky break, Bee felt somewhat unnerved.

I wonder if the organization dissipated with the betrayal of it's leader? Too convenient if this is really a Sith operation designed to kidnap padawans, more likely someone else just took charge...but where have they gone? Could they be making their move on the temple now, or have they retreated deeper into the base to avoid the frequent CSF patrols? Well, only one way to find out now, I hope your data was right Karhan, cause I feel like I'm walking into a Krayt Dragon's lair.

Kirabi took a deep breath and turned to speak to his team, comlinking any who were in a different position.

"Alright, here's the plan. The perimeter is abandoned, so we assume all enemies are within the base until we can confirm. As such, we'll be splitting into two teams, one to scout the way, and the other to follow behind it and watch it's six, as well moving up against any strong enemy positions the lead team finds."

"The lead team will consist of Zizzy, Dagmar, Rikil and myself. The Second team will be led by Slade due to his experience, with Tula, Giquo, and Ravine filling it out. We can also count on support from Jedi Master Coranas Kel, and Alex Chan should hopefully have come up with something by now."

Kirabi looked to Slade and spoke, "second team will take position to cover first team's entrance. After first team has entered the building, enter behind us and cover our six, keeping about fifty yards between our teams at a time. We will clear the ground level first, noting ways to move upstairs and down to continue our sweep. Once the ground level has been cleared we will rendezvous and decide further action."

Kirabi looked at his datapad with the base schematics, looking for a side entrance to the building, and he would show his team the location they would enter from. If Kirabi sees there is only one entrance, he won't even show his team the map at all.

"Alright, if there's no questions, let's move out, clear this base and prevent the Sith from working their machinations on innocent young Jedi."

As second team moved into position, Kirabi attempted to contact Alex to let him know of his current disposition and that he was moving in on the base.

Shikamaru turned to his new allies remembering why he was here.
I am here to find out what exactly is going on, I wonder where Shiogorath slipped off to... Anyways finding the people who were on these speeders is equally important. This whole thing is turning out to be such a drag.

"I'm on it." Shika spoke and using his force sense tried to detect any nearby force users not among the group. Once he detected anything he would relay it to the group and lead them in that direction.

Taji quietly followed Alex and Shika. The group saw the speeders that Genea and her pursuer were on.

"Yup, those are the speeders I followed" Taji confirmed.

He used the Force to see if he could find anybody near them.

Rean promptly slapped Talos' head from behind, but Woaran grabbed his arm before he could again. The smaller veteran quickly decided against resisting and backed away, while Woaran addressed Talos. "C'mon now, you know you weren't wholly innocent in this insanity. Besides, there was little choice at this point...now, please shut yer' trap, Kosh. We've compn'y inbound. Rean! Why don't you go find Shanta. Take two of the new guys with you....Orum and Val. Vale! You look for Tanau. Take Elros, and that Twilek whatshisname....Kom. Rendezvous in about 20."

Rean shrugged his shoulders and wandered off, while Vale nodded nervously and glanced at Woaran a little suspiciously before leaving as well. Raina, who was manning the computers, suddenly called out for Woaran to alert him of several life signatures approaching the base. "Looks like the Cat and the Mouse have arrived. Put out the welcome mat for them. The Hunter and the Pilot should be arriving soon. And if our Unlce's intelligence is correct - which it always is - their friends should be tagging along shortly....."

Slade immediately rebuffed Kirabi's plan. "Excuse me, sir, but why waste the manpower? You're sending a whole team to screen our approach, and another to play rearguard. It'd be better and quicker to send one team to that large entrance at the front, while another goes around the flank to one of those side entrances. Better yet, send me and Zizzy that way, while you take the rest to distract any bogeys." Zizzy scoffed at this and started arguing with Slade, and many others began joining in until the entire team was in a verbal brawl. It ended when you all noticed a landing strip lighting up at the top of the base, upon which one speeder set down, followed by another...

Shika and Taji both reached out with their Sense [-25 FE], and felt not only the two drivers of the speeders making a descent towards the base, but several signatures on the other side. Taji felt the familiar presences of Gena and Kirabi Cloud, but the other speeder driver left an alien and much darker footprint. Shika, meanwhile, felt a familiar presence reaching out for him. A minute later, he received a message from Shio: "On my way. Keep them occupied. Trust NO ONE."

The blow to Talos' head caused a noticable change in his accent.

"Alas, a steep price to pay for my part
Like Icarus who was doomed for his pride
Betrayal's vibrosword sent through my heart
Not a single soul is left to confide

Oh, Selan, what will become of us now?
Since Uncle cast aside his faithful lot
The rage builds inside and of this I vow
'Tis not the end, there is vengeance to plot

Dear friends or foes, who shall come to our door?
Do I dare hold out hope we may be saved?
Cat and mouse; hunter and pilot makes four
Heroes? Or more bodies to be enslaved?

As certain as Demeter brings the spring
This battle is one of which men will sing"

Selan awoke from her reverie at the mention of a certain individual's name.

"A fool was I to have believed in you
A beggar cretin from a world afar
To be a compatriot, loyal and true
Yet betrayed I am, left here with a scar

Silence, Kosh, we must bear this tragedy
And prepare ourselves for the beginning
Of this listless and sudden fantasy
So keep your peace; let Fate start her weaving."

Glad for the arrival of the speeders and break in the argument, Kirabi took the opportunity to speak to the team as a whole.

"Everyone, the time for debate is over, we need to move as soon as possible. However, Slade, I do like your idea of having a flanking force, and will incorporate it into the original plan.

We'll split into three squads now, with myself, Rikil and Dagmar still in the lead squad. Tula, Giquo and Ravine will make up the rearguard squad, and we will follow the original plan to have a two squad sweeping system. The third squad is of course Slade and Zizzy, who will infiltrate through another minor entrance, and work to move parallel to my own squad as we move throughout the base."

Kirabi turned to Slade, knowing that the man was experienced, certainly more experienced than himself. He knew he could trust his skills, but could he trust the man to keep on his side when the Bantha shit hits the fan?

"Slade, Zizzy, I'm counting on you two to hit the flank of any would be hostiles. Tula or myself will inform you if we find any enemy contacts, or see anything that could be headed your way."

Kirabi then turned towards the base, looking up at the landing strip once more, before turning his head back and speaking.

"Now let's go see who's home."

They should know where those speeder’s drivers are by now…If Taji and the other force sensitive separate for whatever reason, I’ll go with Taji since…well…I know nothing about the other guy. Alex thought to himself.

“so…which way are they?” Alex asked Taji and Shika.

Alex followed them in the pursuit of the 2 speeder drivers.

Shikamaru smirked at his findings and the message from Shiogorath.
Like I trust anyone anyways. Not much I can do to stall anyone, so I guess I will just tag along for now and wait for Shiogorath.

"Well shall we be off then?" Shikamaru walked in the direction of the presences he had felt keeping an unhurried pace. Meanwhile he would keep an eye on his surroundings and the group he was with.

Taji observed Shikamaru smirking and decided to keep a closer eye on him. Without saying anything he started following the presence of Genea and unknown being.

Slade grumbled a little but said nothing more, while Zizzy thanked Kirabi before leading them both off to enter through an external ventilation shaft. The rest followed Cloud towards the main entrance, cautionally approaching the large set of doors. They found them open and not a sign of a single soul or even a machine. The landing strip was still alight but there was no sign of the previous occupants of the speeders.

The interior was dimly lit, but still held a marginal amount of visiblity for a few meters each way. In light of that Kirabi had his team move forward slowly, which seemed to agitate Dagmar slightly. Regardless, they were making good progress until Ravine claimed to have spotted something behind them. He proceeded to check it out while Giquo promptly followed him, despite Tula's protests. She reluctantly followed them while Zizzy radioed that she was nearby and would help em out.

Dagmar cursed at the waiting and ran forward, forcing Kirabi and Rikil to go after him or risk him alerting anyone to their position. However, Cloud soon found himself in total darkness, immediately trying to raise Dagmar or anyone else on the comms. He was greeted with Slade's yelling voice. "I shoulda' known you were still in league with those heartless bastards!" There was a sound of a struggle, during which Zizzy's strained voice called out. "Ravine - NOW!" Kirabi next heard Tula yell out in surprise, which was cut off abruptly.

Cloud had no time to even react to the chain of events, as a bright light suddenly appeared in his face. As his visioned was restored, he realized the light was attached to a blaster pointed at him...accompanied by a dozen others, and lightsabers of red, purple, and black. "Kirabi Cloud....your brother sends his regards. Excellent work....Sergeant Karhan."

Alex stood there dumbfounded for a few moments as the other two elected to basically ignore his question and headed towards the base. He had little choice but to follow them. Shika and Taji made a beeline for where they felt the others' presence the strongest, but as they got closer they both felt their Sense diminishing somewhat. It was as if something inside the base was numbing the Force itself....

There wasn't a single sign of life outside the base, organic or inorganic. Inside was the same, and only barely more light than the approaching dusk. Both Shika And Taji felt their Sense weakneing even more as soon as they passed through the doorway. However they could still feel a trace of the signature of their quarry, and so continued following it as best as they could. They were forced almost to a stop, though, when they came into a near pitch black hallway. They felt their way through, but stopped when Alex suddenly felt a quickly growing feeling of dread.

Several lifeforms appeared to their Sense, and while they were readying their weapons, several green, yellow and silver lightsabers pierced the darkness along with blaster-mounted flashlights. "Padawan Basra. Your master was specifically told not to go near this building, or otherwise pursue the matter.....wait...YOU! You were in the Temple when it fell. You were with the attackers!" One of the lighthsabers moved towards Shika, but a female voice cut through the black and caused the Jedi to stop. "Calm yourself Jedi. He's part of the entourage of the Mandalorian Knights' dignitary. We're not allowed to get involved....yet."

"Let's stay focused on our original target....Alexander Chan, we're with the Republic Tactical Intelligence Service and Jedi Shadows. You're hereby detained under Articles 1 through 11 of the Force Sensitive Observation Act. You've been concealing your Force Sensitivity while operating with the military, and the Sith have learned of it. There's a team on their way as we speak-" She was cut off by static from the intercom, followed by a gruff male voice. "Sorry to interrupt Kyra....been a while. But I need you to order Zizzy Shrialla and Aerex Ravine to standdown. Captain Vaandt's team outnumbers them by a large margin, and they'll likely end up harming Kirabi Cloud."

"On that note....Crix Shule - Genea Droma is fully aware you're following her, if you haven't managed to figure it out by now. Both of you, please try to get down here without further incident, before someone manages to ambush you in the dark. As for Captains Rislan and Vaandt - I respectfully ask that you bring your teams and detainees to the main chamber in an orderly and peaceful fashion....so that you may hear our proposition on behalf of our family......."

Well, that was inevitable after it became clear that my force sensitivity was becoming increasingly known since that crazy detective had to have known for at least a week. Well, there’s at least three trained jedi here who likely can use the force to speed themselves up better than me and the intelligence service have their guns out so fleeing isn’t an option for now. Well, I guess I’m along for the ride for now to the “main chamber” with the other “detainees”, I guess since Rislan's probably the last name for Kyra who's leading this RTIS/shadows group it seems. "Detainees" probably includes Kirabi and all of the mercs he hired. I wonder what the “proposition” is and whose “family” owns this place… Alex thought to himself.

Alex went along with the RTIS and shadows.
