Coalition Operations I: From the Ashes (RP. Apply in the Sign-Up thread.)

[Wilco Whiteheart]

Wilco came back aboard the ship and looked around for Trask, before making his way around, ending up at the conference room. He enters the conference room, curiosity on his mind.

[Romulan_Furry]

"One, you have a unique skill set," Trask told Vosur. "Rarely do I come across someone not under my command that has a skill set like yours. Two, we didn't really have a choice at the Tondam facility after that interloper showed up and started wrecking everything, though I suspect he had his own bone to pick with Tondam. Three, you evidently have connections and know some things we don't. I wouldn't have come to the conclusion I am at had it not been for you leading us to this place."

Torrentus stepped into the room after that, her dark garb seeming to slightly radiate with the power of the Force. "Are the guards necessary?" she asked.

"Keep in mind, milady, we've been through a lot in the last few hours. But seeing as you aren't our enemy, I see no reason why you should be under guard," Trask stated to her. He waved the guards away. "Please, take a seat. As soon as Krystal and her aides get here, we can get started."

"I imagine you've figured out who's behind this," Torrentus surmised as she took a seat. Her lightsaber glinted in the room's light.

Krystal entered the conference room and sat down her eyes stuck on Torrentus.

[Vosur Aekira]

"In terms of this mess, what I know is what you know now. And I'm a simple maintenance engineer that has seen too much in my life and way too many coincidences fell in my lap." he spoke as he followed Trask's lead in the conference room. His attention went to the female sith and her blade for a moment, the reflection being the reason why his eyes went to it, then his eyes went back to her eyes before he looked to Trask as if to lead the conversation.

[Wilco Whiteheart]

Wilco was in the corner of the room straight across from the door. He scanned everyone slowly as they entered, before sighing to himself and leaning against the wall, checking his right arm a few times.

[Romulan_Furry]

Trask took a seat. "Now that everyone's found the conference room, we can get started," he said. "Torrentus... given the evidence we've gathered so far, I have concluded that your 'twin', Admiral Arai, was behind all this."

Torrentus looked surprised, but her expression portrayed that this was not unexpected. "Arai was behind this? Hnh... guess I should have figured."

"Everything we have points to her; she installed cybernetic implants to mimic Force Powers, made a duplicate of Lord-Admiral Tokarev's flagship, and ravaged areas of the Interstellar Concordium in an effort to frame Lord-Admiral Tokarev and you at the same time. I believe her motive was to sieze your assets and eliminate Tokarev. Similar goal as Empress Sela, rebuild the Romulan Star Empire."

Torrentus scoffed. "Typical. Some Romulans still cling to the past."

Trask looked to the others, as though to offer them a chance to ask questions.

[Vosur Aekira]

"Given the nature of the costs of the operation, the limbs themselves, and the customization of a ship to be exactly like our guest's, this was no high-risk-low-payoff scheme. How much in terms of resources does this Arai intend on getting? A full armada?" he asked. "I usually keep myself out of other race's politics, but having been put into the light-of-blame for a while, I want to know what this guy intends on gaining exactly."

"Girl." Krystal noted. "But on a side note ,why did she frame the Lord-admiral?"

[Wilco Whiteheart]

Wilco speaks up. "I'm not knowing of why Arai is doing this, but to frame Torrentus would'nt be hard, but yes, why frame the Lord-Admiral, if that would makes things harder on her, given her pretending to be Torrentus." He quietens, wondering if speaking that was a bad move.

[Romulan_Furry]

"It's possible she's trying to frame myself and the good Lord-Admiral simultaneously by making the ISC think Tokarev is in league with me," Torrentus suggested.

"Indeed, and the same conclusion I arrived at," Trask said. "Arai is trying to eliminate two rivals with one crime." he looked to Vosur. "You simply got in her way knew details about her, whether you know it or not, that she wanted to keep quiet, hence why she implicated you, too. And now, thanks to you, we know where she is." Trask returned his attention to the group. "We now know Arai is in the Kegan system. We have got to go in there and nail Arai before she realizes she's in danger. It won't be an easy op; she likely will have considerable defenses and possibly fleet assets." He looked to Krystal. "Assuming your husband is no longer being watched by the ISC, you might want to call him in; we'll need his help." Trask's gaze shifted back to Vosur. "Before we get underway, however, you need to dispose of that device you told me about - however you want to. Let us know when you do, so we can get underway." He looked again to those present. "Any questions?"

[Vosur Aekira]

"Hm... maybe Lady Torrentus here might like it and would want to backtrack the data-burst that it gives off? Revenge isn't my thing and while there is an asteroid field nearby to consider firing it into there as a decoy, there's too many open pathways for larger ships in it for it to be an effective delay for who would be following us" Vosur spoke with a shrug. "Maybe she can find them and make them talk on what else they know?"

[Rayleonarde]

A metal claw clacked loudly against the meeting-room’s door frame. From the corridor entered a haggard looking Rayleonarde. His only organic eye was sunken and shadowed, with a slight film forming gradually over it. His fur had greyed considerably since he deactivated. His chest no longer rose and fell, no breaths were taken by the raccoon. Ray moved with the precision of a machine, which was evident as his head snapped towards Trask.


His voice had become monotonous and utterly unnatural. “My apologies, Admiral.” He then strode towards the table and took a seat. “My tardiness is due to a...failure...of necessary components.”

[Romulan_Furry]

"Admittedly, I was beginning to think you were down permanently," Trask said, "Are you sure you're alright?"

[Alessia Starfurr]

"What would they gain from that, though?" Krystal replied,  turning to face Ray. "What component is that?"

[Vosur Aekira]

Vosur went silent as he saw Ray, seeing the tell-tale signs of life-support cybernetics and possible death if it weren't for Ray even being able to speak. It took him a few moments before he looked back to Trask, a few more seconds after that before he could say anything. "I think I'll go prep the decoy for removal. Send a call to the engine room or to my comm if our guest wants it for her own vendetta." he spoke before managing to reach to his own RIG with one hand, removing the chip that had Serena on it and handing it to Krystal. If the blue vixen were to see any bit into his mind at the moment, she'd see what would resemble the aftermath of a civil-war inside of ship corridors. He left out as quietly as he could, though his lower-legs were noticeably heavy and resisted his attempt at a silent exit.
