(Welcome back, Blaine. And thank you, Alessia, for passing my message along.)
*** Dragon'taan Orbital Spaceport ***
Mathayus lead Michen toward a private hangar bay, where a starship sat. It looked like the BTL Y-Wing, with green stripes, but it was much larger than the original Y-wing - about the size of a Corvette-class vessel. The ship was facing away from them, and the boarding ramp was shut. "Computer, disengage security lockdown. Access Code: Black Viking, Authorization: Mike-India-seven-four." In an instant, the craft powered up, and the boarding ramp lowered. Mathayus looked to Michen, then snapped his head to look behind him. He motioned with one hand for Michen to get aboard, and the other hand rested on a lightsaber. His expression was worried and serious, as though he were mentally preparing to face an attacker.
*** UACS Iron Regent, Vjun Orbit ***
"It... feels like..." Markus paused, the color draining from his face. "... me. Either I have a clone in trouble... or a sibling I was never told about. I cannot get any specifics, but whoever it is that I'm sensing, they're in trouble."
*** Mos Eisely Spaceport, Tatooine ***
Vitani continued dodging the attacker's attacks, and in a twist of irony to her name, drew a TT-33 Tokarev pistol on the attacker - loaded with 7.62x25mm Depleted-Uranium Tokarev rounds. She would fire a round at the attacker's shoulder, then engage a PCD and vanish to the rooftops, dashing for her extraction point. There was no need to fight with the assassin, and she sensed his fate lay elsewhere. She would continue moving across the rooftops till she hit the extraction point, where she entered the landing bay and hit her comm unit and sent a double-click. After that, in a sustained flash of light, she was beamed aboard an orbiting cloaked ship, and moved to safe distance while she went to access the data she was sent.
*** Ma'Hara,Spaceport ***
"Don't tell me you didn't know about it?" Kayla asked. "It was impossible to miss - crashed here a few weeks ago. How K'Tath knew about how to get in, get what was needed, and get out is, frankly, beyond me. He seemed to have... firsthand experience about it, which makes me wonder why he needed me to get it... if he so clearly knew what to do."
*** Stormwind, Azeroth ***
"I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't want to keep King Wrynn waiting. It's not polite to keep a King waiting," Ketorr said.
"Dad, you know as well as I do that Anduin Wrynn has more patience than Varian ever did, and Varian was a patient man," Lian said.
*** Imperium Bunker, Dragon'taan ***
"If we don't, we'll get a chance to pick up some more en route," Roc said as he began ascending the ladder to the surface.
*** NCCS Wolf's Pup, Near Utopia Planitia Shipyards ***
Security teams in Hazard suits began spreading out in the corridors of the Wolf's Pup, looking for the interloper.
***DICEF, Dromund Kaas ***
"Well, if you want to know more about Dragon'taan and our people, you're talking to the right person, though I do not claim to know everything," Vokun responded.
*** IKV Terror Wing, en route to Imperial Alliance territory ***
Rhea looked over the reports, and while there were some minor irritations, she was fairly satisfied on the whole. Still, there was a question scratching at the back of her mind. She activated the intercom, and spoke, "Captain Fayam, please report to the bridge - repeat, Captain Fayam, please report to the bridge."
*** Mongdrigo ***
Malgus was soon visible in the distance, just shy of the command center, looking over a report that was brought to him by one of his apprentices.
*** UNSC Chaos March, Earth Orbit ***
"Da," the Captain responded. "I am Captain Nikita Vasily, captain of the UNSC Chaos March... one of the few vessels fortunate enough to be selected for upgrades in the aftermath of the Human-Covenant war. The wonderful feline with me is Commander Natalie Todd, my ship's Executive Officer, the second-in-command."
"Careful, Nikki - you don't want to sound too friendly with your XO," Natalie said with a playful chuckle, eliciting a smile from Nikita.
*** Belsavis, Prison Minimum Security Wing ***
The cloaked, crimson-furred Lucario Pokemorph continued his trek through the prison, eventually gaining access to the Minimum-Security Wing. His target was somewhere in here. According to last burst transmission, he'd be hiding out in one of the cell blocks. But which one? K'Tath thought. He started with the closest one, activating his electronic transparency device, making him practically invisible to electronic surveillance. That done, he began slipping quietly among the ranks in search of his contact.
