Divergence in Destiny (Star Wars RP)

Rylos saw the scavenger stand up and guessed as to what he was about to do. Slowing down a little and maneuvering behind the speeder, Rylos fired his grenade, it would not kill or harm, just send out a shock wave that would, one: cut out the seeders engines, and two: have enough force to throw the bike to the side. Aiming in front of the scavengers bike Rylos fired, the shot landed perfectly, looking down Rylos yanked Jace up on to his speeder and punched the accelerator to make up lost time. Hearing Jace, Rylos turned his bike and raced off towards the direction that he was pointed in, "Jace he might not make to his ship, i hit him with an Ion Dispersal nade." Rylose called to Jace over the com link.


Twisting his blaster pistol, Rylos fired seven quick shots towards the bike, somehow knowing where the bike was even he could not see it. "Jace, light up that area just for good measure. if we can get something of value and get the hell out, we might be able to pay for our losses." Rylos was not keen on losing money, but if they could make something out of this then that was better than nothing.

"Don't worry I got him and the job covered, plus an extra 60 Billion credits on the side. All you have to do is do what I tell. Listen let me take control of the speeder then you flag down the ship get on it then you can do whatever you want be it rain hell on the thief from above or make sure his ship won't be able to take off which would strand him here giving us all the time in the world to apprehend him. Listen my plan for the mission is going to require me to travel with those Sith for a while, so don't be alarmed. We will get our money." Jace explained. He radioed on the comms for the ship to come down once more. Hopefully Rylos will follow orders this time.


@Killorkiller
 
Manara looked to the man who entered and began reporting about her daughter's interrogation training. She knew Why'nn favored using lightning and sometimes sharp objects, but she wasn't quite sure what this man meant. "By 'conventional methods' could you be a bit more specific?" She removed items from her desk once more, tucking them securely in drawers and locking them. "I know she excels at the use of Force lightning as a method of interrogation, but please. Elaborate for me."
 
HK-50-01 barely watched everything happen. Jace was grappled onto Scavenger's speeder - then got knocked off by the Scavenger. All he could think was Dont let Why'nn be hurt let me kill this being for it don't let her be hurt she can't be can't fail no failure failure is death no death can't die can't fail! Connor was following , as was Ini - but did that matter? He wouldn't let them in on his battle - HIS battle , and no being's otherwise. He would torture this being and leave him to a slow death on Hoth , as Mistress would have.


HK-50-01 saw his opportunity when The Scavenger was knocked off his speeder and stood up. Not bothering to slow the speeder he was on , he somersaulted off and landed behind the being. He.. Could be dilomatic about it , and that would avoid further harm to Why'nn. So he spoke then. "Offer/announcement : THIS IS MINE AND NO OTHER'S! DO NOT GET INVOLVED , AND THAT INCLUDES YOU , COMMANDER - YOU'VE RUINED ENOUGH! Ah.. Scavenger. I have two options for you. The first is I cut off both your arms and legs , and leave you here to freeze to death. The other is that I take an adjustable amount credit chip and give you , oh , 10 billion credits and you give me Why'nn - both unharmed and Unlooted. Way one , you get lots of pain - way two , we all walk out pleased and no blood is shed. I particularly only care what you choose as long as these fools around us don't do anything stupid before you come to a decision."
 
Nah-Iblen quickly elaborated on what he meant.


"What I mean, Mistress Manara, is that while she has made great progress in using Force Lightning and Force Mind Control to wrest information from a subject, she has shown hesitance in inflicting direct physical harm upon a subject. Specifically, while I have been able to convince her to use her lightsaber to inflict burns upon subjects, she has so far refused to use any instruments of torture that draw blood. She has also show hesitation to use any sort of torture methods that involve extreme psychological trauma, aside from ones utilizing the Force. Pardon my saying this... but I fear that she might be using the Force as a crutch. She may not have the stomach for true torture."


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Ini attached his lightsaber to the end of his walking stick and ignited it, riding forward on his speeder holding the light pike like a lance. As he got close to Zerek's speeder, he jabbed his weapon at the vehicle, trying to disable it.


"This will only get worse for you if you continue to fight."

Zerek was going to make a sweet drift and flee in another direction, had his speeder not cut out and started to flip. Zerek grabbed Why'nn as they were both flung from the speeder and used his body to soften the impact on her, knowing the value of a dead hostage. And to add to his pain, a blaster bolt got him in the right forearm, and that lightsaber knicked his leg. He had to stop himself from screaming. When he impacted the ground and rolled, however, he couldn't hold it in anymore. Zerek screamed in pain, his voice echoing through the tundra. The screaming masked a cracking sound, the sound of Zerek's ribs breaking. He tasted blood as he shakily got up, checked to make sure the girl was still alive, and as a precaution, locked up his ship. If he was going down, they'd have to work to get his stuff damnit.


As the groups converged on his location, he raised his hands above his head. Despite the droid landing behind him and shouting, he did not jump or look afraid of his imminent death. Mostly due to his ability to act. Ini and Conner would be able to see his fear, of that he was certain. He simply turned and addressed the droid. "I'll take... the money..." Zerek spit blood onto the snow, aiming to the side and trying not to be more disrespectful than he already was. He quickly handed Why'nn over to the droid, using his left arm for the most part. "pleasure... doing... business..." His voice was weak, and his body was shaking. Once he gets confirmation that he was paid, he starts to slowly hobble towards his ship, holding his stomach in pain.
 
HK-50-01 was happy he had found a diplomatic solution if he did say so himself. Yes yes I did what Ini said succeeded Diplomacy does work! Why'nn's safe everyone is ok yes yes yes YES! He eagerly took Why'nn into his arm - the single arm he still had wrapped around her - as he programmed a Credit Chip with 10 billion credits - a sixth of what Mistess was going to be getting soon anyway , so she shouldn't punish him for it. After tossing it to The Scavenger and watching him leave , he brightened more as he realized this Scavenger may not harm them again if he knew HK-50 himself was reasonable.


HK-50-01 eagerly started speaking to Why'nn - not caring if she was conscious , cradled in the crook of his arm - at that moment , in a joyed tone. "Announcement/Excitedness : I WILL ALLOW NO ONE TO GO AFTER THE SCAVENGER! I WILL HONOR THE DEAL! Oh... Why'nn Why'nn are you ok he didn't hurt you did he thank you thank you I fixed it used diplomacy didn't want him to hurt you more. Didn't steal anything did he? But oh yes yes you are okay that's all that matters you're safe and alright oh thank you so much so much I feel so happy.. Oh my , that was a new Prefix. This is just so good lets get going back to our ship! EVERYONE! BACK TO YOUR SHIPS! THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED! Thanks to myself I succeeded oh yes yes useful now yes , Mistress? All in your service Why'nn I love you so much."

Rylos saw the ship coming in for a hot exfil, quickly radioing and filling them in on what was happening they slowed their approach. This allowed Rylos to then nod his understanding to Jace and switch seats with him. After getting out of the drivers seat Rylos jumped to the side and tucked into a roll to soften the landing on the snow. Using his forward momentum he took into the roll, Rylos swiftly was on his feet, running full speed towards the ship, as he ran he activated his jet pack and lept from the ground as he blasted through the air and landed on a bay door that had been opened prior to his arrival. The moment he touched ground on the ship Rylos took off running for the pilots chair, navigating his way there swiftly Rylos slid right in to the chair and took control of the ship. Swinging the ship around into position, he flew over the gathering over to the scavengers ship before hopping on the radio, "Jace, if you can find out who that guy works for, and why he was here. if he does not comply i will blast his ship to bits." Rylos almost hopped that the man did not want to give up his reasons, just so he could blast his ship.


@Raikou Kaminari
 
Jace leapt from the speeder the second the Scavenger's speeder flipped over. He floated over to the gathering and watched as the droid used his impressive negotiation and diplomacy skills. Jace heard Rylos over the comms and replied. "Hold off on destroying the ship till the droid is gone he doesn't want anyone attacking the Scavenger at the moment. Besides the thier doesn't likely work for anyone but just intended to sell the items on the black market. But I can find out why he was here." Jace then yelled to limping scavenger. "Wait, I went through all this trouble tailing you here, the least you can do is tell us what you were after that made all this worth it." Jace said.


He turned back to the Sith and HK. "Remember to honor our informal agreement, you'll host me until I get word from my employer. Can't let the target stray too far you know."
 
Hoth


While Connor listened to everything going on, he continued to keep his guard up. The whole situation was being impacted by the Holocron hidden away in his cloak. It was still nagging hard at him, begging him to open it and check its contents; to see why it was pulling him so hard. He was glad HK-50-01 had Why'nn, which made this even easier. Now it was time for them to head back to their own ship and leave. He was tired of this cold, harsh planet and the people he'd encountered. He didn't even care if Jace came with them, he simply wanted to take Why'nn and go. "If you're insisting on staying with us, then you'll have to come to our ship. We are leaving this planet. We've been ordered back to our own planet." Connor turned to the droid. "We need to go now, HK-50-01. If we don't, my master will punish us all..."





Korriban





Manara listened to this man as he explained. She gave a laugh at his insistence that Why'nn was refused to inflict psychological damage on someone. "Perhaps no one has informed you, but when she and my apprentice were younger, she lured him to my personal rancor pit and, as a result, he lost his arm. I'm fairly certain the boy has major distrust of my daughter now. Perhaps you aren't teaching her well enough. Perhaps I should find a new instructor for her?" A cruel smile formed on her lips as she said the final words.
 
Nah-Iblen smiled back at her as he gave his reply.


"I remember the incident Mistress Manara. In addition to my other duties, I look after your Rancors for you, as I'm sure you recall. I've been working under you since my Master's... rather unfortunate end after all. I do not suggest that I cannot teach your daughter. I simply request that I be given time to get her a bit more used to the sight of frightened wamp-rats clawing their way out of a man's torso. I promise, it will be educational for her."


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Ini Ma'at deactivated his lightsaber and followed Connor.


"Right. Of course. Let us be on our way, before something else has a chance to go wrong."


He tossed his lightsaber back to the Droid and leaned on his walking stick as he walked towards the Sith ship.
 
Why'nn groaned as she was flung from the speeder, feeling her impact lessened by something that felt... alive. A scream split her ears and her first thought was, 'Am I late for torture practice?' Her eyes opened slowly as HK-50-01 made his deal. No, not late for practice. Good, Darth Nah-Iblen would be displeased were she late. She was handed over and heard HK-50-01's joyous exclamations. "I can stand on my own, and he still needs to pay for taking your arm." She let herself down, then turned to watch the Thief go. No... he was hurt enough. "Yes, we must return to Korriban." She straddled her speeder. "Come, friend. Mother will reward you handsomely."
 
HK-50-01 listened to everything in an overjoyed buzz , pleased with the situation as a whole. He didn't care who the Scavenger worked for, or what he was after. But he did want to keep his honor on the fact that he would let Jace travel with them.. Even if he wasn't sure what he meant by 'not letting the target out of sight'. What or whom is THAT , exactly? I suppose I'll just have to watch and trust him.. Like I shall have to do with Ini , as well. When he was about to respond , Connor said his very words - in a less diplomatic fashion , of course - which meant he didn't have anything to say.


Of course HK-50-01 wanted to leave immediately , now that Why'nn was with them. He didn't tremble at the thought of torture as he usually would have , however - he was far too happy for that. Then he noticed Ini was also pleased with him , saying that they should leave before more problems happen. Yes , Yes I agree we should. He narrowly caught the Lightsaber with his single arm , and realized then he hadn't continued the ruse of Ini being a prisoner. Well.. Why'nn will understand.. And she'll make Connor understand , and I suppose Mistress doesn't have to know..


HK-50-01 almost exploded into joy as Why'nn stirred against his metallic embrace , saying she was alright enough to support herself. Oh.. I might want to pick up my arm , on the way. If they could find just one working speeder , that wouldn't be much of a difficulty - swing by , grab it , go into the ship and carry everyone else out. For the moment he was worried Why'nn would betray the agreement he made , until she said they needed to get back to Korriban as soon as they could - which was true. As he climbed onto the speeder , His eyes turned a green color when she said Mistress would reward him handsomely , and he began speaking.


"Statement/Agreement : Yes yes , Jace , if you want to go with us we leave now. Ah.. Don't worry , Mistress can't be displeased. I captured Ini Ma'at , and saved Why'nn. Even if it took 10 billion credits.. But Ini is worth 6 times that.. WHY'NN I'm so happy you're okay and not betraying my agreement oh yes yes.. Ah. Can somebody else drive? I don't think I'm able. While we're at it , can we get my arm too? I've rather grown attatched to it, and mistress wouldn't be happy if I came back damaged. But how can she not be pleased! Raxus I , I just snagged Ini Ma'at and saved all our skins. I actually was instrumental. Now.. I think MY speeder still works , at least.. I figure I'll get on with.. Somebody who can drive , and.. Two people per speeder and Jace doing whatever , I suppose. 3 kilometers southwest is where our ship is in case anyone gets lost.. Now let's go! I can't wait to show Mistress how useful I am."

Jace satisified by the answers given mounted his speeder and then radioed Rylos and probably Chuka. "How you pass the time now is up to you." Jace said given an implied meaning as well as a literal one. Jace then began to try and reach his employer, hopefully he'd have his answer to the question before they even reached the ship. The only thing Jace had to worry about is if the mission was solely about killing Manara's daughter for some reason. Then Jace radioed Rylos once more. "Drop the container with my normal clothes in it so I can electro mag it to the speeder."
 
Sitting above the cave entrance Chuka watched as everything happened. It was moving at an alarming pace and he wasn't sure exactly what was happening or what he was supposed to do. Comms had been clustered with orders and requests from Jace and Rylos. He almost didn't notice when the detonator was ripped from his hand by Jace. He let out a sigh and waited for the ship to come by and pick him up. "This is why I hate force users, they complicate everything." He said to himself just before he climbed on board the ship, he would wait for Jace to come back or for a new set of orders to come in.
 
Zerek turned slowly and glared at the Mandalorian. First this guy grappled onto the speeder, now he wanted to know why he was here? He had to admire the man's tenacity, though. However, his ability to make continuous coherent statements was hampered at the moment. He got his mind off the pain for a moment to respond. "I was here for the holocron. I thought it would be a simple smash and grab job, maybe some traps. At this point you can burn it in front of me for all I care." He took in a sharp breath as the pain spiked again. He needed to get to his ship and give himself some basic first aid, at least until he could get to a proper hospital. "My business here is done. Just let me leave already." 'And may the galaxy help you if you blow up my ship.' Zerek continued to move towards his ship, slowly. As much as he hated that his job went sideways, he did like the vast nothingness of the planet. Total solitude was something he would consider retiring into, if living the high life never panned out.
 
Hoth





Connor climbed onto his speeder and looked to the others. He waited until he was sure it was okay to take off. "We'll be waiting for you at our ship. Be quick about getting there or I might have to leave you behind." Connor looked over to Why'nn. "Are you okay, Why'nn?" Connor was slightly ashamed of himself for not immediately going to her, but he could save that for on the ship where it wasn't so damned cold.


Korriban





Manara grinned as the man talked about womp rats clawing their way out of someone. She gave him a slight nod. "By all means, do it. She will have to get used to the sight if she wishes to become my go to person for interrogating prisoners. I trust you haven't mentioned that little fact to her, have you?" Manara stood from her desk, and walked over to the window overlooking the training grounds, then turned to face the man once more.
 
Ini watched as Connor led Why'nn onto the ship. While other Jedi might frown upon it, to him it was good to see two young people who were so close. Doubtless they were trying to keep their relationship secret from their Mistress, and doubtless their Mistress knew of it perfectly well.


Ini waved to the Droid as he walked.


"Well my friend. That was far more exciting than I expected it to be. Now, I suppose we should depart, and you can present me to your Mistress. Now that I think about it... I don't think I ever caught your name..."

"I'm fine. Let's go." She took off, dropping by to grab HK-50-01's severed arm before changing direction and heading for the ship. This was not what she has envisioned for their mission. However, it was successful and they were bringing a prisoner. If she was lucky, Nah'Iblen would let her watch or even help with the torture. Reaching the ship, she was immediately ashamed of her thoughts. This Jedi was asking the droid's name. No Sith had done that in her presence. Why'nn looked down a moment. Reflection was needed but she wouldn't get it like this.
 
HK-50-01 enjoyed riding on speeders - something about being carried along he found pleasurable. He would make sure they didn't leave Jace , and would wait for him- as long as he wanted to without risking someone's ire , anyway. He didn't speak for Why'nn again , not wanting to be hurt again.. Even though he did know Why'nn was in nominal condition. How could she not be? Everything is perfect! I have a gift for Mistress , I saved everyone.. How could this get any better?


As the Jedi Master requested his name , he realized he HADNT shared it directly. I'll have to tell him.. Of course he also didn't expect it to be so enjoyable or successful - part of why he was finding everything so enjoyable. As he clung to Why'nn with one arm , he craned his head around and shouted out "Deisgnation : HK FIFTY OH-ONE! Apologies for shouting , Why'nn. Nobody has ever bothered to ask my name like that , not an adult anyway.."





Why'nn didn't seem to be as happy as HK-50-01 himself was - 'I'm fine' usually meant 'something is bothering me , don't ask more about it right now.' But this still didn't dampen his mood , as she grabbed his arm. Cooing lightly , he realized perhaps he should say why the Jedi wasn't being detained still.. Even if he was frightened to. That could wait until they arrived on the ship. For now , he stayed pressed to the only person in the Galaxy he truly loved , making pleasurable noises to himself as they sped off along the frozen white plains..

Nah-Iblen gave an internal sigh of relief. The last thing he needed right now was for Manara to think he was incompetent.


"Of course not Mistress Manara. That would spoil the surprise, would it not? Oh, and speaking of surprises, I have something I think you might enjoy seeing. I have devised a new torture method of a manner most gruesome. It would be my pleasure to show it to you, if you so desire."

Hoth





Connor revved up his speeder and blasted off toward the ship. The whole trip back all he could think about was Why'nn and the Holocron. He wanted more time alone with Why'nn, and he severely wanted to open the Holocron and see what secrets it held. As they arrived at the ship, Connor took it off lock down, and lowered the ramp so they could all get on the ship. Stowing the speeders, Connor walked to Why'nn and tapped her on the shoulder. With a sideways motion down the side hall, Connor began moving to the private cabin. "HK-50-01, please prepare the ship for take off. Why'nn and I have a private matter we need to discuss."





Korriban





Manara nodded to Nah-Iblen and moved back over to her desk. She motioned to the few data pads and other items on her desk. "I would, but I am currently in the middle of a very stressful situation. As soon as I can, I will come to your torture chamber and you can show me your new method of torture. I am intrigued and would like to see it in action." Manara then took a seat at her desk, still looking to the man. "Now, if that is all you need, I really must get back to work."
 
"HK-50-01 cannot pilot the ship. I will get us prepared and then I shall join you. Besides, he needs to go into repair cycles," Why'nn growled, helping the droid in and immediately going to the cockpit. She was beginning to get frustrated with her lover and his inattention to detail. Letting passion rule was one thing, but entirely ignoring a maimed friend and forgetting he can't pilot this class of starship were two different things entirely. She heard Ini board and was curious as to why the Jedi was unescorted, but she wouldn't put it past the HK unit to have solved the situation diplomatically.
 
Nah-Iblen bowed once more and walked out of the room. As he walked through the halls of Manara's base, he grinned. He was looking forward to showing her his new torture method, yes. But he was also looking forward to his other little plan. As he entered his chambers, which were adjacent to the torture chambers, he called out to his servant bots.


"Clean this place up! The Mistress will be visiting shortly. Feed the prisoner in the tub and apply fresh maggots and honey. Manara will want to see them at their most gruesome. And bring me one of the slave girls! And make sure she isn't damaged. I want her to be perfect when the Mistress arrives."
 
"I'm sorry. You're right. I'll apologize to HK-50-01 after you and I talk, Why'nn. I'm...not entirely focused right now..." It would be clear now that Connor's focus had wavered. He felt pulled so hard in a different direction that it just threw him entirely off his game. It was infuriating and highly annoying that his focus was so diminished. He walked down the hall and into the private cabin. When he arrived, he stood there for a moment, contemplating why the Holocron was doing this to him. He was tempted to open it without Why'nn present, but he managed to hold off. Instead, he moved over to the empty wardrobe, ignited his lightsabers, and began to slice into it, taking his anger out on the piece of furniture. This was now turning into anger about everything that had been going on, not just the Holocron now.
