*** Mongdrigo Orbit ***
Malgus paid little heed to the change in Mongdrigo's atmosphere, instead keeping an eye on the evacuation. He ordered word be sent ahead to the Sith at Korriban and Dromund Kaas to be ready for his arrival - and he was surprised to learn they were getting assistance from one Dragon Federation. Some allies would be useful, Malgus thought, though he pondered why Dragons would help Sith.
Luro and the Eternal Alliance were assisting in the evacuation, and he, too, was surprised by the DF's sudden move to assist the Reborn Sith Order. Still, if they were gonna help, there seemed little point in turning them away.
*** Sith Academy, Korriban ***
Wrath took point, leading the group through the dark bowels of the Sith Academy. Barely dust remained of the skeletal corpses that littered the halls. The halls themselves were eerily quiet, and Wrath half-expected a rogue Tuk'ata or some other Sith-bred creature to attack them. But none ever did. The academy remained quiet as a tomb - and just as foreboding as one.
*** Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Bahkriid headed to the academy hangar, and to her surprise, a personal transport had already been prepared for her. All she needed to do was hop in, fire it up, wait for the platform to extend outside, and head for orbit. Once there, she punched up the coordinates to Ruusan - and, just like Lord Faasnu said, the coordinates were there. So she plotted the course and executed, vanishing from Dragon'taan.
*** UNSC Allegiance, Reach Orbit ***
"You clearly don't keep up with certain political news," one of the Sangheili PFCs noted. "There was a big announcement not too long ago - Sangheili who want to can enlist with the UNSC, and vice versa. Part of some cultural alliance and exchange deal."
*** Unknown Planet, Ground Zero ***
The creature knew its prey was on board the ship - it just had to find it. The scent was deep inside the ship, and it's smoky tendrils slithered and wriggled along the corridors, while those glowing, white eyes kept alert.
