*** Korriban Ruins ***
The hulking Sangheili known as Luro approached Peacekeeper with his human colleague - Lana - and she was the first to speak: "What's the situation?"
Luro's attention, however, was fixed on Tristan. His face bore what passed as a frown among the Sangheili, seemingly surprised he was there. What was even more surprising, Tristan was at the center of the disturbance Luro felt earlier. His head and neck inclined, he stared directly at Tristan, before looking to Peacekeeper. "Peacekeeper... you do realize those clones are from the DMC? There was no need to threaten them." He again looked at Tristan. "And you're scaring the child. What's a child doing on Korriban?"
*** RRW Vulpes Umbra, Torgus Prime Orbit ***
The Romulan Republic task force dropped out of warp, and the fleet waited for Anna's word to commence the assault. There certainly was no shortage of Capellan targets.
*** IKS Terror Wing, Torgus Prime Orbit ***
"Of course! We are sending down ground assets! Cover their entry!" Rhea requested.
*** Corellia Orbit ***
Inside that Grineer Galleon, a gate opened up, and Viktor walked through. Anyone in the immediate vicinity would be immobilized and drained to near death by shadowy tendrils that seemed to materialize from the floor. Viktor walked over to the cryopod to peer inside. Knowing he had little time, he went about opening the pod, grabbing Storm, hefting her over his shoulder like a bag of grain, and starting for the gate. But a pair of Grineer blocked his way. Viktor, irritated and running out of time, lashed out with a shadowy tendril that came from his palm, which split and impaled the two, and then drained them to dried, mummified corpses. Viktor then walked through the gate and it closed after him.
Once back on Corellia, Viktor gently and gingerly set Storm down on a bench at the Coronet Zoo, and spoke, "Storm... can you hear me? Are you okay?"
*** Mongdrigo, Command Center ***
"Is that right...?" Malgus asked, his face portraying getting an idea. He hummed in thought, mulling something over.
Ahsoka frowned, then leaned closer to Garrus. "Something tells me you just gave him an idea."
*** MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***
Steiner was about to speak when a nearby console beeped. Steiner went over to it, tapped a few commands in, and his face turned to confusion. "What the f***...?" He looked to Katin and Damien. "Are you sure you have all my crew under lock and key?"
*** Outpost Onyx, Deep Space ***
Roc's ship powered up, lifted off, and headed out - destination: Expedition 22. Once zipping away at Translight Speed, Roc looked to Alex. "Are you sure you understand the mission parameters? I don't want any mistakes on this one."
*** Fleet Spire ruins, Corneria ***
By now, the Klingon Marines and Tal Shiar Personnel were actively trying to impede the intruders' progress. The Commandant would be at his desk, basically puppy-guarding the Datacron with a Disruptor pointed at the doorway.
*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Tyber made a faux look of irritation. "Hardy hardy har," he told Shiloh, digging a decent-sized wad of cash out of his pocket. "Really, Shiloh - I've got us covered this time. And the last time was not my fault."
"Sweetie, I don't think she's ever gonna let you live that one down," Kabier chuckled.
"Get used to it, kiddo - girls can be like that," Viktor added. Tyber rolled his eyes as his parents lovingly chuckled and shared a tender kiss.
*** Dragon'taan Spaceport ***
A greeter droid approached Tybalt. "Greetings, and welcome to Dragon'taan! Home of the Dragon-Shifters! Headquarters of the Dragon'taan Marauder Corps! How might I direct you?"
*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
San, Ichi and Ni finally arrived at Dragon'taan, and while the two giant wolves panted and rested, San knocked on the door.
Down in the Dragon lair, Sheila woke, and seeing Michen still there, decided to wake him to see if he was hungry.
*** Coruscant ***
K'Tath had what he needed packed up and ready to go. Now he just needed to wake the pretty Lucario woman sleeping on the bridge. He went next to Cobalt and gently shook her. "Hey... Cobalt, wake up. Wake up, we need to head out."
