*Mongdrigo, Battleground*
As Ahsoka moved around the boulder, the world around was different. Instead of the scarred, dark gray dust of Mongdrigo, the battlefield was instead the brown sands of Geonosis. If she looked, she would be her young self again, fighting alongside Anakin Skywalker. She would not see Mongdrigan soldiers fighting a motley crew of hordesmen, but Clone troopers fighting Separatist droids. And there, in the center of the field, was Anakin himself fighting, and struggling, against the four-armed cyborg general Grievous, whose blades crashed against her master's.
A voice, coming from deep within, echoed in her ears.
You can end this, the end of the war...no order 66...no slaughter of children and Jedi. Go! Now! Strike down Grievous!

Rex's shots drilled the mech's sensor, but simply washed over an unseen energy field. But, the mech took notice and charged the trooper.
Then, a few more splashes of blue. Then a tsunami of blue bolts. Rex would see that the hordesmen wearing clone-style armor bearing both his own and other battalion colors had turned and fired on the machine, as a few moved into formation with the old Trooper.

Even though Foderis had managed to deal with the shooting practice, there was one more thing he needed to deal with - the jetpack. Then by combining the acquired skills, Edo wanted, that the folf will launch a real combat simulation and tested his skills. It was great that the purple-blue furball got familiar himself with guns, but real-life combat scenarios were quite different. Your enemy won't stand still and wait until he dies. Your foe will be trying to kill you. When Dred being boarded once by a pirate in his homeworld, he barely knew how to hold a blaster. And it forced him to learn to shoot precisely in no time. His new partner has time to get prepared and avoid things which Edo couldn't. It was a thing that can save Foderis' and Edo's life.

"You did well, pal. Try your jetpack this time - fly over the ship and along walls. And watch for your tail - jetpack' thrusters may scorch your tail for a little, should you be careless. Once done, proceed to the simulation room". Drex said through cameras with speakers. He was in his ship watching the folf's performance and essentially needed to communicate with him. He should admit that Fod's shooting skills weren't as bad as for a guy who never shot in people. Still, the final test was ahead.
*** Military District, Dragon'taan ***

"Sure thing, sir. That's why we're here. And I believe Dragon'taan has a job for us. Frankly, I haven't asked them to come with me - they asked me instead. And as you see, here we are.". The Turian replied, and in the way he did, Draco could say, that Fel was somewhat relaxed. It was a rare occurrence for Dranghyr to be in such condition, but he felt safe here. Hence, he could afford the possibility to talk relaxed. "Speaking about the data I've passed you... Since I'd extracted it from the Cornerian Tal Shiar' outpost, I believe it has information about Tal Shiar network and agents in the sector. Possibly, additional connections with the agents outside."
*** RCS Armored Cruiser, Coruscant Orbit ***

"Should I stay here to watch for the ship? Coruscant still has idiots, who may rob you.". Ori stated, but she noted, that Viktor look has changed after mentioning his father. Now it was another topic for a conversation. Hence Storm added slightly later. "Who was your father?"

[SadDubwool]

** Senate Tower, Coruscant **

"Shall I be completely honest? We require a good bit of materiel. Lumber, Precious Ores and the like. We've been being bled dry by this war on the home front so instead of struggling over a single planet only for progress to be shot down by the ever-shifting tide of war we decided to look towards the stars... And here we are."

Dvosye wordlessly motioned for a guard to fix one of the curtains before returning her attention towards Mothma. She sniffed and itched her beak a little, seemingly thinking about what she might say before starting to speak again.

"We are willing to talk about trade, Whether or not you are remains to be seen."

[Weaver]

*** Starship Endeavor ***

"Wait what?" Weaver stepped forward, attempting to read the line of text for himself, "I mean, yeah, it does, basic stuff. It's more geared towards electronic warfare though. Jamming, shutting down, or even taking over subsystems. Scrambling sensors, false dummy signals, et cetera. Mines too. Always fun to hack the navigation system and pilot the ship into a mine. Uh... but this station probably has bigger more direct weapons... right?"

[Ara Av-Toa]

*Unknown*
Fayam looked around. According to the autopilot, he was at the right location, but his radar showed nothing and only faraway stars and galaxies could be seen through the windshield. It confused him. With no obvious point in staying, he tried to leave- only to find his warp inhibited. He scratched his chin slowly for a while, trying to connect the dots, thinking out loud. "It's here... But there's nothing. But if it's supposed to be here... Hm. I can't warp, though there's no apparent gravity source... But then the source must be... Wait a minute. They're leading me to a ship. Or a station. Anyhow, it's cloaked and prevents me from leaving. Which means...!" He sent out an open message. "Hey! You! Whoever! I know you're there and looking for me! Show yourself!"

*Torgus Prime*
Anna frowned and replied, "Even if it only lasts for seconds, we can use every advantage we can get."
In orbit, Johnny had siphoned the data from the main carrier. He tried to decode and analyse it, but the sheer amount clogged the processor. He asked the nearby ships, "Hey, I've got the data, but... it's too much for our computer. Where should I drop this off?"

[Damien/Katin Hysteria]

***MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***
     “I’m...going to pretend that I know what tech you’re talking about. I’ll keep an eye out for anything unusual.” Katin turned to the Hunter. “Well friend, if you’re ready then let’s get aboard that ship and rescue your clan.”

“Grey you’re just as confused as I am. As far as location we only know our place among these stars. Don’t really have a name for it yet.” Damien said. He then turned to the Admiral. “Why do you want us to destroy the tech and not acquisition it? Would you not rather steal it and refurbish the tech for your own benefit?”

[Romulan_Furry]

*** MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***

The hunter made a brief purring sound, putting a fist to his chest with a nod.

"Borg tech, maybe not destroy, but do it if you can't get it out of enemy hands; Iconian tech... is better off destroyed. Tampering with it is what caused the Hobus Supernova," Silrus said. He frowned, then comprehension dawned. "Ah... right, you couldn't have heard of the Hobus Disaster. The supernova that destroyed the Romulan home worlds of Romulus and Remus... because the Tal Shiar were tampering with Iconian technology.

*** Unspecified Location ***

Almost immediately, a trio of Cardassian Keldon-class Heavy Cruisers de-cloaked around Fayam, in positions that surrounded him. "This is Gul Dakar of the Obsidian Order - bounty hunter Fayam, you are placed under arrest. Comply with our demands, and we promise a swift and reasonably honorable demise," came the response.

*** Torgus Prime ***

One of the Klingon vessels signaled Johnny. "Get that data to House Pegh on Qo'nos! We'll keep the enemy from pursuing you! Go with honor! Qapla'!"

The Romulan vessels continued their assault on the Capellans' systems down planetside, even going so far as to deploy an imitation Iconian Virus in their systems.

*** Starship Endeavor ***

"Because we have about three seconds before that ship--" But the Romulan never finished his sentence, as an Unidentified Starship seemingly appeared out of nowhere. A signal went out, and another line of text appeared on the screen. The Romulan frowned, then looked to Weaver. "Your name isn't Weaver, is it?" he asked.

*** Senate Tower, Coruscant ***

"The United Imperial Alliance is always open to trade. And we definitely have vast reserves of what you ask. But, given recent events, I hope you understand if I send such trade convoys with... escort. Between the problems with the Sith Covenant and this new threat on the horizon, we can't be too careful," Mon Mothma responded.

*** Military District, Dragon'taan ***

"I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that," Draco said. "Tal Shiar are a serious threat, no matter what General K'torr may say. Anything else I need to be aware of?"

*** RCS Armored Cruiser, Coruscant Orbit ***

"I'll tell you when we get back," Viktor said hoarsely, as though the subject of his father were a sensitive issue. "Come. I don't wish to keep our contact waiting, and the droids will look after the ship. Spyra, come on - we can talk of Hera while we're there, too." He then headed for the gravity lift bay.

*** NCAC Galatae, Dragon'taan Orbit ***

Vitani raised an eyebrow at Kylie when that happened. "You were saying...?" she jested.

*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***

"You can relax; I'll pick something easy," Jason told her.

Anna shrugged, then said, "Well, he's hard to miss - big old dragon, kinda dull brown scales--"

"I heard that, Anna Indari!" came that characteristic accent from the dragon lair beneath the manor. "I am not that old!"

*** Starship Lethal Weapon, Dragon'taan Orbit ***

The ships were allowed to land in the hangar, where Amy and Jason met the crew. "Welcome aboard the Lethal Weapon. I'm Amy Jorgan, and this is my husband, Jake. We command this vessel. Who might you be?"

*** DMC Embassy, Stormwind, Azeroth ***

Ketorr chuckled, then sighed. He knew better than to lie to his wife. "Our relief has been delayed again, dear," he told Kia. "Seems the Sith Covenant is being too quiet, and it makes high command nervous."

*** Unspecified Location ***

A Romulan D'Derridex Warbird bearing the sigil of the Romulan Republic came across a peculiar sight - a Sith Interdictor , floating adrift in space. The Warbird hailed the vessel, but got no response. After repeated hails and detecting that the vessel's shields were down, the Warbird's Commander decided to send boarding parties aboard the vessel, look for anything that might explain why this ship was in Romulan space.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** RCS Armored Cruiser, Coruscant Orbit ***
"Why does she need to speak with me?" Spyra asked following along anyway.

*** NCAC Galatae, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
"Roxanne is 100 times more competent than the droids, she'll bring you ship in gently." Kylie finished.


*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***

"That's not what bugs me this thing feels, fragile." Leylah replied.

"Oh relax, Grandpa you know Dragons age slower than most species." Amie said as she passed by Anna on her way to the kitchen, hearing her  grandpa grumble.

*** DMC Embassy, Stormwind, Azeroth ***
Kia's eyebrows Raised "Really, I think your lieing to me."The female Worgen responded, "What did that Pandarian get herself into this time or was it Aylina?"



*** Unspecified Location ***
The old sith vessel's interior was barren, the crew no where to be found, the power on emergency backup, the armory emtpy, it appeared as if the entire crew had abandoned ship or vanished, even the data logs had been whiped clean. However in the Cargo bay held a few crates, with no label and two   Carbon freeze 'pods' both containing a  Feline like being one Female the other Male, they both appeared to wear ancient jedi battle armor.

*** MJ12 Ship, Nephira Orbit ***
"Hobus was a disaster it left thousands of people without a home, we DO NOT want to repeat that, ever!" Grey pointed out.

*** Starship Lethal Weapon, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
 The Khajiit looked up to Amy "I'm Kiri Cou'gar, Tigress Arcnon sent me her with a shipment to Sangheilios according to the data i was sent your ship was designated as the carrier for the cargo." The feline replied.

[Michen_S]

~ Dragon'taan, Kyle's Estate ~

Michen seemed to look straight through the dragoness, as he put up wide eyes from the rather unexpected response from below. "Well, there we have our answer...?" That certainly make things easier. Are dragons really that loud, were the walls echo-y or something like that? It was rather a surprise someone in the basement heard someone on the first floor...

[Noah Fulf]

|Secret Hangar, N.Coruscant|

All fancy in his ship and all that. He couldn't even come out to tell me personally?
Then I remember my shooting.... Nevermind

I proceed to the simple compartment on the wall next to the shooting area. it is a black box, somewhat rusty on the edge. I open it and find a standard jetpack. It has some large red tanks, and the rest is an indecipherable mess of rope and wires, all shoved into the compartment by the last user.
This is so messsyyyyy I think as I untangle the mess of the backpack and put it on. I wonder if it's even functioning.Guess we'll find out soon enough!

I push the little red button, and get blasted into the air. I fly at a speed much quicker than I anticipated, and I tried to regain my balance while clutching my tail. I fly along the upper wall, it's Gray ceiling only inches away.

Suddenly, The jetpack pushes upwards, closing the distance and making me hit the ceiling. I feel pain all over my head. I start falling down.

I regain control, or at least regain enough of it to safely fly back down.Never... Again... Am... I gonna.... Fly that high.... Ceiling... Just... No....
I drop the jetpack down. Now I see why it's so messy...

I proceed to the simulation room.

*** Military District, Dragon'taan ***

"Thank you, sir. And no, there is nothing you need to be aware of. But... I think you can help us with our little problem.". The Turian said and paused for a second, trying to form his thought to express it correctly. The thing he was about to ask was a little expensive, even for the DMC. But if the Marauder Corps wants outstanding performance from their agents, they have to share their wealth. "See, the Star Fox team had lost their carrier a long time ago. And without one, our effectiveness in space as combat units can be not as good as we want. So, could you help us with that question, General? Or tell us someone who can?"
*** RCS Armored Cruiser, Coruscant Orbit ***

Ori has followed Viktor without any word. There was nothing, that would require her ability to speak.
*** Secret Hangar, N.Coruscant ***

Edo was watching Foderis practicing with interest. It reminded him of his years when he was making his first steps at the Argon Expedition Fleet. But when the folf started to fall, Edo rushed immediately, grabbing a multi-tool on the run. Knowing his ship and having some parkour skills (what was uncommon for a scientist), it was easy. And even faster because he didn't need to wait for the lift. He just jumped from the weapon turret spot on the drone landing platform and rushed forward. It was a relief for the guy when he spotted his buddy alive. Of course, he didn't stop just by seeing Foderis along with his voice.

"Hey, buddy. Are you okay down there? I'm coming!". Edo shouted and using the gravity lift, landed on the hangar floor. He approached the folf afterward, breathing heavily after adrenaline burst. "You scared me like hell, buddy. Why did you go high without getting used to jetpack's controls in the first place?"

[Ara Av-Toa]

*Unknown*
Fayam cursed, "Pangea." He had run into a trap, that was clear. He did not know what they wanted, but his gut told him it could only be bad things. In an instant, he considered his options. Both fleeing and fighting were out of the question; he was outmanned and outgunned. His cloak would barely help. Calling backup would be ineffective, since he probably couldn't stall for long. After a few seonds, hesitantly, he asked, "Ugh, fine! Whaddaya want?" Still, he was looking for any chance to escape.

*Torgus Prime*
Johnny did not reply, heeded the call immediately and Faith left as quickly as it came. This data could not fall in the wrong hands.

[Weaver]

*** Starship Endeavor ***
Weaver paused for a moment, looking at the text on the screen for himself.

"Uh... yeah. Yeah Weaver is my name. Wait a minu- who are these guys!?"

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Starship Endeavor ***

"They're Yaut'ja Hunters," the Romulan explained. "And they want to speak to you."

*** Unspecified Location ***

"Lower your shields, and prepare for transport," Gul Dakar commanded. Before Fayam could even comply, he might notice he'd gotten a text message:

"Cardassian Ships stand no chance. On my way. ETA 25 Seconds. Stall them! --JK"

*** Torgus Prime ***

It was then that the Capellans ordered a full retreat, though it was unclear why. The KDF vessels pursued what ships they could, and destroyed what ships stayed behind.

*** Military District, Dragon'taan ***

"I know of a few shipwrights that could help - Klingon Defense Force, Kuat Drive Yards, Corellian Engineering Corp, plus a few in Sangheili and UNSC Space. Take your pick," Draco said to Fel. An aide handed him a datapad, and Draco's expression changed. He looked back to Fel and asked, "Are you familiar with the Peragus III Asteroid Field?"

*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***

The large, brown-scaled feral dragon emerged from the lair beneath the manor. "Don't get snappy with me, young lady," he told Amie. "I'm still your grandfather!"

Anna looked to Michen with an amused smile. "Never a dull moment here," she commented to him.

*** NCAC Galatae, Dragon'taan Orbit ***

"Regardless, what's next? If we have no current tasks, I could check the Merc-Net and see if there are any freelance jobs available," Vitani offered.

*** Coruscant ***

Viktor lead Ori and Spyra along the streets of Coruscant to the office they needed to be at, where they met with the Twi'lek they'd spoken to earlier. He had a pair of cylindrical items in his hand. "I assume you're Viktor Horgus?" he asked. Viktor nodded. The man handed the items to Viktor and said, "Your father's will specified that these would go to you." When Viktor took the items, it became immediately apparent they were, in fact, a pair of Lightsabers . Viktor examined them, then looked to Cham.

"Did he leave anything else?" he asked. Cham shook his head. Viktor sighed, then gripped his new Lightsabers, passed from father to son. "What happened to him?" he asked.

Cham inhaled deeply, then began to describe a tale of how Viktor's father - Terrance Horgus - was a highly-esteemed Lightsaber Duelist, and was being considered a candidate to succeed the Jedi Battlemaster at the time. He was a true and honorable warrior, if a bit of a maverick at times. Only a handful knew of his origins at the time. The Clone Wars put a pause on his career, and he went out to fight the Separatists and their Droid Army - which was somewhat ironic to Viktor, considering he now used such droids on his ship. Cham went on to say that Terrance was at the Jedi Temple when Order 66 came down, and the Imperial 501st Legion stormed the Temple. "... I'm sorry to tell you, but your father didn't survive the attack. He died protecting a group of younglings." At this point, the story had tears in Viktor's eyes. "But we suspect he knew what was coming, hence why he left these to you in his will. The Empire under Palpatine was going to use it as a trap to lure you in, and kill you if they couldn't turn you. But after Palpatine's death, this office decided to honor the will, should you ever come here. Interestingly enough, your father did say you'd arrive in a large warship... with someone on your tail." The last statement caught Viktor's attention, eliciting a look of worry from him.

"... Aldukaal..." he murmured.

*** DMC Embassy, Stormwind, Azeroth ***

"I'm not lying, honey. Our relief's been delayed. Here," Ketorr handed his wife the letter he'd been sent detailing how long their relief had been delayed and why. "See for yourself."

*** Unspecified Location ***

The Romulan crew, unsure what to do when they found the carbonite-frozen prisoners, contacted their ship - who advised them how to start the unfreezing process, which they followed step by step.

*** Starship Lethal Weapon, Dragon'taan Orbit ***

"Of course - your cargo is being loaded as we speak. If you'd like, we can let you supervise the loading process--" Amy began.

"Bridge to Commander Amy," came a voice on the radio. "We're ready for departure." Amy sighed.

"That was fast," Jake commented.

"Very well - let's get this ship on the road," Amy stated, and she and Jake turned and headed for the bridge, assuming their guest would follow.

*** Jawa Sandcrawler Camp, Tatooine ***

K'Tath walked into the camp, looking around. "You see the one you were gonna get the parts from yet?" he asked his counterpart.

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
Amie rolled her eyes. "Is this really the time, Grandpa? And in front of guest?" the white with red bits of fur vixen added. "And if you didn't notice I'm trying to help you." Amie sighed, holding her hand to her head.

*** NCAC Galatae, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
"Well are you hungry or anything?" Kylie asked "If not I did just get a note of some anomolus readings   in an area nearbye." The blue fox replied.

*** Coruscant ***
"Cham If I may ask what was it your daughter wanted to speak to me about?" She asked seeming hurried now.


*** DMC Embassy, Stormwind, Azeroth ***
Kia sighed "What is going on back there."

*** Starship Lethal Weapon, Dragon'taan Orbit ***
"The new droids tend to work fast." Kiri noted.

*** Jawa Sandcrawler Camp, Tatooine ***
"I see a good R2 unit and the parts for the other one ,but something else feels wierd here." Cobalt noted.
