*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
The tigress took the child two doors down, and quietly entered, setting the child down in a crib.
Jason, in his room with his new girlfriend, played a game rather intently. "Keep goin, babe, you're doing great!" he urged Leylah.
Anna smiled and chuckled. "To think your kids found their future mates well before we did. Did I tell you how Kyle and I met?" Anna asked Amie.
It was then that Drake beamed in. He breathed a sigh of relief. "What a day..."
*** Starship
Lethal Weapon, En Route to Sangheilios ***
The
Lethal Weapon took full advantage of Helix's efforts, firing turbolasers at the ships with their shields now out. While Covenant vessels' shields were resilient, their hull armor came apart like wet cardboard when assaulted by the turbolasers of the Republic-class Star Destroyer. One listed to port and detonated like a bomb when the
Lethal Weapon's Beam Cannons struck the ship, causing the main reactors to blow.
It was then that a
Harrower Battlecruiser dropped out of hyperspace.
*** MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***
"Long... story... complicated," the Hunter uttered as they reached the Bridge. He turned to Katin. Pointing to himself, he spoke, "Name... Wolf." He pointed to the apparent captain of the vessel, then continued, "Name... Scar."
"Scar" turned to face Katin, staring him down while never making a sound. He then stepped off a raised platform, and approached Katin. He looked to someone behind Katin and spoke, "This... him?"
There was a moment of silence before a man stepped from a shadowy alcove. This man was vastly different from the hunters present - completely different in race and appearance. He was a
Sith Pureblood . "I believe he is," the man said with a strange accent that almost sounded English. "Even if I am wrong, this one can help us." The Sith fixed his red eyes on Katin. "You'll have to excuse my colleagues' behavior and appearances - this clan is still getting used to the idea of working alongside the powers of the galaxy. But they've made the most progress of them all." The man bowed before Katin. "I am Lord Scourge, at your service. I was sent to aid this clan of Yaut'ja by General Draco Bellator himself. I imagine you have questions."
*** Mongdrigo ***
Ahsoka rose from her meditation and began getting her things together. "Did Lord Malgus say what he wanted?" she asked.
*** Jedi Temple, Coruscant ***
After a site-to-site transport to the Jedi Temple, Viktor walked into the halls, only to nearly collide with Anakin Skywalker himself. Viktor stood just as tall as the former-Sith Lord, and had more muscle mass than the aged Jedi. As it was, Anakin spoke first: "Do I know you?"
"No," Viktor said, "But you might know my father." Anakin blinked a couple times, then comprehension dawned.
"I had a feeling you'd show up, one day," he said. He noticed the lightsabers. "One of the few Jedi at this temple who openly used a Red Blade in his lightsabers." He paused, then added, "He did say he'd leave you something if you did show up. Said you'd know how to find it."
"Do you know where his room is? Where he stayed?" Viktor asked. In response, Anakin pointed to the upper levels of the Temple. "You'll likely recognize the mark he etched into the door."
*** Coruscant Bar, Coruscant ***
"Come closer," Hera requested. "I'd prefer not to have to raise my voice."
*** Coruscant, Market District ***
"Yes, he was - we were at my wife's house at this time, and he left at the same time I did; I came here, he had to go to the Temple - there's absolutely no way this is him. So either he has a clone... or someone is trying to frame him. But how... and why?" Luke mused.
*** Drifting ship in Romulan space ***
"We were gonna ask you the same thing," the lead Romulan NCO responded. "We caught this ship drifting through Romulan Space, and you two are the only living things we've found on board."
*** Eternal Fleet Battlecruiser Site, Tatooine ***
"Can you not sense it? This place has been attacked recently," K'Tath said. He walked along the hull of the vessel until he found a breach in the hull. He grabbed his lightsaber and hopped inside, landing on his feet with a
thud! on the vessel's deck. He cycled through various vision modes to see if there was anything. Finding nothing to contend with other than his own twitchiness, he spoke to Cobalt: "Come on in - we've got a ways to go before we get to the Computer Core."
*** SSV Normandy (SR1) -> On the way to Qo'noS ***
"Heard of it - one of the lesser-known shippers of Starship Engine Fuel," Fox said.
"That's not the only thing, Fox," Slippy chirped. "Peragus III was named such because of it's location - the center of a bunch of highly-volatile asteroids. Weapons and explosives are
heavily regulated there. One stray blaster bolt can turn the whole field into a supernova that makes the destruction of Peragus II look like a firecracker."
"Nasty place to be," Falco said. "I had a buddy who worked as the foreman there. Dunno if he's still there. Wait... why are we talking about Peragus III?"
*** IKV
Furiam, Battle Site ***
"Just stay safe," Vitani said as her ship left the hangar. "And when I land after this, pull the
Furiam in aft first - it'll make exiting the hangar a lot easier." The
Furiam was already cloaked, and Vitani was already in the captain's chair with the gunner scope down. Her sights were set on the bridge of that Harrower.
*** Sangheilios Orbit ***
Kaidon 'Vadam appeared on the screen. "Shipmaster Kyva... I did not know you were still active," he greeted Kyva. "In fact... our records show you've been out of contact for... thirty years. Where have you been this entire time?"
*** Qo'nos Orbit ***
"No, that won't be an issue," Jureth responded. "Your payment will be handled when we can get it processed; in the meantime, maybe you'd like to cool your heels in one of our cantinas?"
*** Starship Endeavor, Qo'nos Spacedock ***
"Not at present, but you can take a transporter down there. Just watch out - Klingon transporters tend to induce nausea more often than most others for first-timers," the technician said. "But better hurry - Rellius isn't the most patient woman I know, even for a Sith."
*** Torgus Prime ***
"Oh, I see... well, I may be Sith, but I am a Sith of honor; I cannot allow you to go unpaid for what you did here," Torrentus said. "Hm... if only I had something to pay you with. Well, for now - let's just say I owe you a huge favor for this. I'm sure the two of us can come to some agreement, eventually."
*** Cardassia Prime ***
A
Negh'Tev Heavy Battlecruiser dropped out of Transwarp Speed, accompanied by a pair of
Halberd-class Destroyers . The Negh'Tev sent a coded hailing signal to the planet, and remained in orbit.
