*** Starship Borealis, Geidi IV Orbit ***
"Water," Keesha said before she looked over to Rochell, groaning in sadness. "What happened to her?" she asked.
*** Foliage covered crater in Plains, Geidi IV ***
Fortunately, the Chimera had registered the deployment of that flare, and Gemini's voice could be heard: "Captain Vasily, I hope to god you have what you came for. Gypsie, I know you don't like transporters, but that's the only way we're gonna get you out quickly; you have unidentified forces converging on your position. Stand by for transport..." Moments later, Gypsie may feel a tingling sensation, followed by a rushing sense of velocity as she and Vasily would be beamed out of there and back aboard Vasily's flagship.
However, Hector, not recognizing Gypsie, raised his weapon at her. "Threat: Make a move and be destroyed, beast."
Vasily, for the moment conscious, coughed, spurting a spot of blood, and spoke, "Stand down... Hec... Hector! That... is Gypsie! She... can s... shift... form!"
*** Star Destroyer Reckoning, En Route to Tatooine ***
"We got a tip from Fleet Admiral Skywalker himself that one of the Eternal Fleet ships has been discovered on Tatooine; unfortunately, it's in the hands of the amoral Czerka Corporation, who has 'disavowed' the personnel involved in the find, but is secretly disassembling the ship. We cannot allow Czerka to dissect the ship; the technology is too powerful to fall into the wrong hands," Draco explained to Dawn.
Blaine and Kozik would get a similar explanation from Draco's colleague, Doctor Archiban "Doc" Kimball, after he told them he'd been assigned as medical support to the both of them by Draco himself.
*** New Cerinia ***
"Wait a minute, slow down - you said the Tal Shiar are going after Celina? For what purpose?" Markus asked Fayam.
*** Kuat ***
"We'll keep that in mind; we were actually already considering contacting Tomahawk to work out a shipbuilding agreement," The KDY Rep told Anna. "Assuming those thieves at Fondor didn't already beat us to it."
(Anna, where exactly on Earth is Mary?)
*** Dragon'taan Armory, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
"It's alright, Tigress - he's new here," Kyle told Tigress. "But she is right - frankly, I'm surprised you haven't heard of me. Hero of the Marauder War, Protector of the Cerinian people in their early days on New Cerinia, friend to the Tigarians... the list goes on.
*** Cairo Hotel, Cairo, Earth ***
No key would be needed to lock the door, unless it was being locked from outside. Regardless, the "key" was a card, on the floor next to the nightstand, evidently knocked to the ground by housekeeping.
*** Approaching Senate Plaza, Coruscant ***
"A powerful family, indeed," the Taxi driver agreed. "Like I said, don't let Mon Mothma's mistrust of Vader sway you - he's actually a good man. Near as I can tell, he's always kept his word ever since the formation of the Imperial Alliance." She landed the taxi on the taxi pad of the Senate Plaza. "Friendly word of advice, if you bump into General Iblis in there..." she indicated the Senate building. "... Don't get him started on the Galactic Civil War. I speak from experience when I say he does not shut up about it - how the rebellion could have better combated the Empire, what could have been done about Vader and Palpatine, blah blah blah... gets really old, fast."
*** Mongdrigo, Southeastern Field ***
"I know that I do not know enough," Malgus admitted. "Perhaps you can fill in some of the blanks?"
*** Reach ***
"Yes," the scarred dragon asked. "The planet. I hear Reach was re-colonized after the war with the Covenant." Vhikarev paused to check his weapon. "And that, during the war with the Covenant, some interesting artifacts were found here."
*** Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***
Roc spoke to Alex in a hushed voice, "I think I've been made. I need to disappear for a bit, apply the deception device. Do you have anyone that would travel with you that you have a photo of or anything of the sort?"
