*** Outside Fleet Spire Ruins, Corneria ***
"Wulf will be here in ten minutes," Fox responded once Fel would get into the APC. "Talk to me - what happened in there?"
"And that transporter signature I picked up just before the spire collapsed - did you see who it was?" Slippy added.
"One step at a time, Slippy," Farah said. She looked to Fel. "Start from the beginning. I'm recording this so we can have a detailed report to give Wulf when he arrives."
"Yeah, once we report the results to Wulf, our job is done, we get paid... then look for the next op," Fox sighed. "But with that Datacron... I suspect our escapades with you have only just begun. Like Farah said - start from the beginning. What happened in there?"
*** Corneria Orbit ***
The dragon had gotten what he came for. Now it was time to leave. In orbit, beyond the dark side of the planet, a
sleek, strange warship de-cloaked and went to warp, the heading putting it on a course for the Hobus System.
*** RCS Armored Cruiser Landing Site, Corellia ***
And open up on the pirates, Viktor did, laying into them with his assault rifle as he moved from cover to cover. These pirates would be more than a match for CorSec, maybe - or commoners. But not seasoned a seasoned warrior like Ori or experienced militant like Viktor, let alone a deadly dragon like Spyra. The kicker was, the pirates were fewer in number than Viktor had anticipated; most of them were aboard the ship, and with Ori engaging them, they were so distracted tat they never saw Viktor's assault as he took out pirates on the ground and boarded the ship. Hoping Spyra was still in tow, Viktor went to link up with Ori.
*** Torgus Prime Orbit ***
And Anna was correct - the massive vessel was in trouble - so much so that it tried to turn and flee. But one of Fayam's attacks scored a lucky hit and took out the engines. "Captain, if I could make a suggestion... with that ship's shields down and her engines disabled, we could board the ship and access the central computer. It may tell us where the Capellans are operating from," the First Officer suggested.
"That kind of information would prove valuable to allied command, and they could ensure the Capellans are unable to launch an incursion like this elsewhere," the tactical officer agreed. "Not to mention the bonus information like that fetches for mercs who find it."
"What's the status of the ground forces?" Rhea asked her sister over the sounds of the battle.
*** MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***
"If that thing is what I think it is, the tachyon burst will disrupt whatever cloaking device it has active," Steiner reported. "Stand by..." Moments later, there was a static-like flash of blue, and
a strange creature appeared from what was a subtle, ghostly shimmer. It roared in agitation, but strangely, did not make any hostile movement toward the brothers. In fact, after a few moments, it inclined its head, as though curious, and even retracted it's wrist blades and crouched next to a dead body of a Romulan, as though examining it. It beckoned the brothers closer, and even managed to utter in a guttural voice, "Come... here... must... show."
*** Mongdrigo, Command Center ***
Malgus inspected the armor, then turned to those who brought it before him. "Anything I should know about it?"
"Perhaps," Ahsoka said, "But Lord Malgus is on command here, so it's really up to him whether I join up or not."
*** Coruscant Orbital Station Delta ***
The denizens of the station seemed not to mind the Ragnosian soldiers here, like it was an everyday occurrence. In fact, a young fennec - no more than his early twenties - dressed in uniform, approached the group. "Good morning, sirs! Might inquire what brings you here?" he asked.
*** Edge of Coruscant system ***
"I'm not leaving you anywhere, sweetheart," K'Tath responded. "I want you to stay by my side. I've been alone among the stars for too long."
*** Qo'nos Orbit ***
"Affirmative," the controller said. "Welcome to Qo'nos." The Ty'go'kor station would seem to get bigger as Weaver approached it, but what was more interesting was the fleet in orbit. It would seem like there was a long line to get down planetside, but this wasn't really the case. Ever since the Iconian War, the Klingons have been ever-vigilant - almost to the point of paranoia, some would say.
*** Pirate Ship, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
The commando droids would spread out into the corridors, taking out what pirates remained. They seemed especially intent on securing the ship, though it was not clear why. The Lucrehulk Battleship began firing ion cannons at the Pirate ship - uncharacteristic for a ship like the Lucrehulk, which would imply they wanted the Pirate ship intact. The DMC vessels shifted fire to the Lucrehulk. Whatever they were after, the DMC was gonna ensure they didn't get it.
*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
"Take your time, pal," Mathayus assured Michen.
Anna looked between the girl and Amie. "Why didn't you say something?" she asked.
*** 'Vadam Keep, Sangheilios ***
"I see," Thel said. "And have you any reports on the other matter? The Capellans?"
*** NCC Space Galatae ***
"Affirmative - setting course," Vitani responded. "I didn't catch you at a bad time, did I?"
