Felucia





"Mmm... Yeah, I don't feel anything." She picked up her pace, clipping her saberstaff back to her belt. They moved swiftly through the graveyard with her in the lead. She wasn't scared, even though she was casting out, searching for any possible threat. She dropped back long enough to glance at his map. "Well, we're getting close and I don't sense any hostiles." Part of her was disappointed in that it would take her longer to prove herself to her mother this way, at the same time she almost felt herself longing for Korriban.

Connor made sure that his own sabers were attached to his belt before making his way to the exit ramp. He smiled at Why'nn when she called him "Jedi spawn". He walked up behind her, and gave her a light smack on the butt, then continued past her. "Keep up laser brain," he said, giving her sly smirk and walked down the ramp. Once at the bottom, he pulled out a device and turned it on. A small holo of the area came up, which showed a blinking light. It seemed to be across a large, seemingly empty area that was just ahead of them.


Korriban


Forge nodded slowly. "Something like that. I think you'd make an excellent body guard. I do have quite a few enemies that might try to kill me. And as for the help with the legion...Proper delegation to others who are assisting can help efficiency as well. Though I do think I'd prefer you by my side through this whole thing."





(Sorry the Forge portion is short...)

Korriban


HK-50-01 didn't see the nod , as his photoreceptors largely covered by the Chiss' shoulders. Oh-One did , however , hear Commander Forge's words - which had the effect of gratiating him even more. He'd been a bodyguard several times , against very powerful hostiles - and for even more powerful beings. Many enemies? Does that mean that , after I fell them , you'll feast on their heads? That would certainly increase your knowledge.. Perhaps even allow you to surpass Saul Karath's brilliance. He didn't doubt that the Chiss could - in HK-50's eyes , Commander Forge was the most brilliant tactician of the Era.


What didn't come , somewhat surprisingly , were thoughts that he could fail. How , exactly , could he fail against what assumably weak enemies the Chiss possessed? Besides... Commander Forge was stronger than HK-50-01 considered himself to be. He still did find himself confused by Commander Forge's logic on Leadership. What you describe is the regular chain of command.. In which case you are still the supreme leader and thus can and should take sole credit for the accomplishments of the group. Isn't that what all leaders do? Well.. I didn't , but I failed at leading anyone , and thusly that's rendered void.


HK-50-01 gave a mirthful laugh at Forge's comment he wanted Oh-One with him for the duration of the mission , overjoyed that his companionship was desired. "Gratitude/Advisement : I've been a bodyguard before.. Many times , actually. I'm sure whatever weak enemies you possess will be destroyed.. Though , you're stronger than I am. If anything , you're guarding me. Here's an.. A-advisement - after we kill any of these enemies , you should eat their heads. If you do that , you'll surpass Saul Karath in the most glorious fashion. I.. Don't understand what you are saying. These assistants you speak of.. These are your underlings. You alone should take sole credit for any and all successful actions completed by them - as sole power still resides with you. Every successful leader does that.. You should too. Can I be by your side for the duration? I'd.. Like that. Very much like that. I feel.. Very safe with you."

KORRIBAN



Zerek readied himself for anything, everything. His blaster was locked and loaded, he had a stock of distractions, he memorized bits of the area that he could use for cover and other distractions. He also prepped himself for diplomacy and a little bit of serious mind-bending. "I'm ready, 09. Let's reunite you two." Zerek's body was tense and ready for action as he followed 09 those last few meters. The fact that whatever showed up through his sense didn't show up again also got him on edge. At this point, a pin could drop and he would whip around and take aim.


@HK 50 09

Korriban


HK-50-09 bridged the ten meters in the direction of the door with haste , taking broad steps. Unexpectedly , he felt something a lot of Fleshsacks called 'nervousness' at meeting his.. Estranged? Brother. As Zerek seemed to ready himself and tense , Oh-Nine did similar actions. His arm-Implanted blade slid forward , despite his grip on the SlugThrower - a grip of iron , enough to crush part of the weapon's pistol grip.


He sidled close to the door , waiting to listen at who was in the room. Oh-One was saying something about consuming heads , leadership and feeling safe. That is certainly Oh-One.. Which likely means he's with this Why'nn currently. Whoever or whatever that is.. A female Sith , actually , from what Zerek said. I guess I'll see what it is he finds endearing about her. Nodding assent at Zerek's statement , he tried to appear nonhostile as he strode into the door.


Apparently , either Zerek was wrong or this wasn't Why'nn , because his brother appeared to be holding tightly to a male Chiss. Turning slightly to Whisper to Zerek - in a bland tone- his eyes had a rim of cyan blue. "Rhetorical/Query : You didn't say this Why'nn was a male Chiss. I suppose he has more than one person , doesn't he? Would this happen to be that Connor you spoke of?" Not bothering to wait for a response , he turned back to his two friends and decided to use Basic instead of Compressed droid speech. "Greeting : Oh-One! I've returned to save you from servitude. Come with me if you want your freedom. Oh right.. It's me , Oh-Nine. I know you must've thought me destroyed.. Let's find this Why'nn of yours and leave , immediately. Ah. Where are my manners. Hello , Unidentified Male Chiss. What would your name be , exactly?Would you also like to come with myself , my colleague and Oh-One?" HK-50-09 decided to take the risk of setting aside the SlugThrower entirely , and held his hands out in what his oft-unused Protocol programming identified as friendly - though , he still did have his Blade revealed.

Hoth


T7-V8 had been standing by in low power mode for most of the day. Why hurry up with repairing the ship? It was in good working order anyway , and he didn't fancy working in the freezing cold by himself. Of course , he would do it , but not without protest. And besides , Delrick hadn't said anything about needing the ship's seats fully repaired - T7's current task. Actually , that task was near completion , pending the acquisition of heating coils. Which I'm certainly not going out in the debris field alone to retrieve. If he needs it so badly , he can go get it himself.


He 'awoke' rather irritably at the mention of his series number. T7-V8 nearly decided to stay in standby or communicate a witty response about the fact that Master Delrick didn't directly refer to him , but he had already done that and it didn't get him out of anything. So instead he half-listened to what his Master had to say. He hadn't worked on the Blaster Cannons in any way , partly because Delrick didn't particularly enjoy weapons. Unfortunately , his Master left before he could send out a mocking reply.


So , instead , T7 wearily rolled to the blaster cannon housings , muttering - in his Droid Language , the only one he could speak - "Oh yes master Delrick , I'll be sure to drop my other repairs and begin work on the Blasters right away. You'll have to introduce me to this 'Something' one day. I need to tell it to stop putting more ideas into your head.."

Hyperspace/Felucia





Chuka snorted and looked around, wondering what Rylos and Jace were up too. He absently shrugged and turned back to Illya about to make another comment about the insanity of that job when the co-pilot called out. "Get your boots on, were exiting hyperspace." 'That was fast. Must've lost track of time.' He held out his hand to Illya to help her off her bike. "Now this new insanity begins." He slung the bandolier over his chest and shouldered the grenade launcher.


The ship jumped out of hyperspace and quickly moved into orbit over the planet conducting a scan for the tracker. After only a few seconds they had the coordinates and began their descent.


"So you wanna take point?" Offering the faster warrior to take the lead so he could hang back and provide fire support since he had the hardware for that. Opening the encrypted team comlink. "Rylos, Jace. We're ready back here, when you are."

Mandalorian Ship





Jace pulled down the lever disengaging the Hyperdrive and the ship arrived in orbit, he quickly made an announcement on the loudspeaker. "We have arrived at our destination, now Rylos you have ship duty the homing beacon will only lead us to their ship and I expect they are well away from their ship. So your have the job of air support including bombardment and locating. Chuka and Illya you'll be with me and we'll go on foot. Now you have till I bring the ship over the homing beacon to be ready." Jace explained.


Jace then brought the ship into Felucia's atmosphere, he followed the homing beacon near where the sith apprentice's had set down their ship. He remained in the clouds though and out of normal seeing range of the ship. He figured a fly by would alert the target which means they would have to parachute in using their jetpacks as parachutes and follow the sith's tracks. He would have Rylos blow the sith's ship once they make contact with the target.


Jace then waited for Rylos and handed off the controls to him before making his way to the bay doors. "So we have to parachute in Mandalorian style." Jace explained to Illya and Chuka. "Rylos open the bay doors." he said on his comm link.

Illya accepted the hand, grinning behind her helmet as she was pulled to her feet. "Let's go catch us a Sith brat." She readied herself for descent, still having not removed any of her weaponry since arriving. As she caught up with Jace, she clapped him on the shoulder. "K'oyacyi!" This was Mando'a for 'Cheers!' As soon as the bay doors were open she jumped, rocketing toward the target's last known location. Her helmet still hid her grin.

Felucia/Mando ship


"Riiiight" Rylos mumbled to himself as he left his tech lab and walked out into the cargo bay. switching on his com, Rylos told the team of what he had for them "I have a new gadget here for you guys." smiling, Rylos set down three round disk like objects in a place you could not miss them. "Put these on your armor and it will provide me with real time information i can use to extrapolate information about whats going on. If you guys get into a fight, which you probably will, this can give helpful information to relay back to you. Please make sure each of the others gets one." Leaving the disks Rylos made his way to the cockpit.


Prancing up the stairs to the main controls Rylos looked at Jace, "I got the ship locked down!" chuckling he accepted control and opened the doors. Hoping that team had accepted his new toy, he relaxed. Once they where out of the ship Rylos locked the cabin doors, making sure to turn off his comms, and switched on a transmission hologram.


"We need to talk about my price..."

As they neared the area where the blip was coming from, they saw an opening in the ground. As Connor approached it, the incline was very steep as it descended into darkness. Connor looked back to Why'nn. "Still not worried? If we aren't careful, we could fall down that and never be heard from again." He looked back at the map, then to the hole in the ground. "What do you think the odds are of the thing being down in this cave? How did my parents even get down there? Climbing gear? We don't have that..."





Korriban





"Yes. You can be at my side for the duration. Even after actually. I feel that once we succeed in this mission, we'll be working together a lot more." Forge was a little confused about eating the heads of his enemies. "I don't know that I would do that, but I may certainly mount their heads on the walls of my office. Would that be sufficient enough?" Forge gave a slight chuckle as he said this. "Also, I don't see myself as stronger than you. I know you have quite a lot of strength. I count you as my equal in that, and many other regards." Forge pulled away as another voice sounded not far from them. Standing there was another HK unit, except this one was silver. He looked from HK-50-01 to the other HK unit. "My name is Forge. I'm alright with being here. May I ask who you are?"

Korriban


Watching quietly as the transports flew away from the Everborn's lower hangar, Darth Trakus drummed his finger as they departed for deep space past Korriban. The orders he needed followed demanded secrecy, and since the ships belonged to the academy, Darth Trakus had ordered that the pilots and crew of each ship...vanish upon completion of their orders. Their absence would no doubt be noticed, but by then, it would be too late for his enemies to make their moves.


Turning around, Darth Trakus looked over the large contingent of troopers gathered before him. A full company, with another four waiting in wait on the world below, already briefed. 500 Imperial troopers, trained and drilled to perfection, ready to carry out his orders. As the last of them filed into the transports to head to the world below, Darth Trakus couldn't help but begin to laugh, the few technicians near him looking at him confused. After all this planning, all this waiting, scheming, killing, his goals were finally near completion...


Letting his laugh grow, he turned and walked back down the corridor towards his quarters, two cloaked warriors falling into step behind him.

Why'nn frowned. "I guess climbing gear, yeah. And no, I'm not worried." She moved forward, then began a controlled descent. As soon as it began to be unwieldy to walk, she turned around and began climbing down. "What's wrong, Rancor? Can't handle heights?" Why'nn called back, laughter in her voice. She was doing fairly well, catching herself if she began to slip. "Let's go!" Climbing into the darkness didn't bother her. It was kind of exciting, fun.


Illya located the ship and made a soft landing, quickly finding two sets of footprints. "Looks like they're going into the graveyard." And who was the second? She assumed the smaller footprints belonged to the Sith girl. Here the Mandalorian waited for her fellows. She might be interested in catching this mark quickly, but she was far from stupid.

Jace grabbed the three disk before getting a running start and leaping out of the bay doors. He placed the disks in a pocket in his armor and descended straight for the siths' ship where Illya had landed ahead of him. As he neared the sight he positioned himself upright and activated his jetpacks thruster which slowed his descent, but on contact he still had to tumble a bit to avoid any chance of injury. He landed a few paces from Illya and walked over as she inspected some tracks. "Well lets follow the tracks." Jace said. He then remembered and radioed Rylos "Once we make contact with the target obliterate the ship that right here so the target can't escape." Jace instructed.

As Zerek walked into the room, his mind could not be prepared for what he saw. An HK-50 unit hugging a Chiss that was most certainly not Connor. Connor had the edgy outcast thing going with the mask, and the all black. Kinda hard to miss. Something in him thought that wrong, mostly due to his only previous experience with the line being 09. And if 09 hugs you, your spine no longer works. Zerek grabbed the Slug-thrower to hand back to 09 during their escape. Zerek did give props to 09 for actually resisting the urge to shoot everything in sight, and slumped when he still had his blade out.


"Alright, 09. Nice try. Forgot the knife though. It's a little off-putting." Zerek stashed his carbine for the moment, and used the Force to sound more friendly, nice, and agreeable. He also adjusted his stance to reflect that. "Name's Zerek. That guy is HK-50-09. As he stated, we're here to reunite the two of them as quickly and painlessly as possible. 01, we met before on Hoth. I assure you, this is completely unrelated to our last encounter. I'm here at the request of 09, and have been instructed not to harm unless necessary. All we want is to get you and Why'nn out of here. Where is she anyways? Usually she's hanging around you, right?" Zerek scratched his head, with one hand behind his back, gripping one of his sabers.

Chuka nodded at Rylos new toy. "Anything that helps my ass not get shot by surprise." He watched Illya jump first, that women was feisty. He checked his gear one last time while Jace grabbed the discs and jumped. Last out ensured he could bring the rain if there was a surprise at the LZ.


He took two running steps then jumped, instantly feeling the wind buffet him. He waited till he was 10 metres up before hitting the jet pack. He landed further out then the other, but came up at a jog. Over the com he called to Rylos. "Three boots on deck. Have up there." He turned and got ready to follow the other two when they moved.

HK-50-01 enjoyed the idea of working with Forge again. Maybe I could Persaude Mistress to let Forge go with Why'nn on her missions with Connor! Then I can have everyone I love together on missions! That would be wonderful oh so wonderful.. He didn't lose any respect for Commander Forge when the Chiss said he didn't feel inclined to the idea of consuming the heads of his enemies - Oh-One himself was incapable of it , albeit for different reasons. Mounting them to the walls would work , regardless. A trophy killer , then. I like that idea , indeed. Oh-One was very grateful that Forge considered him strong and an equal , even if he didn't entirely think so. Was he perhaps as strong? Yes. Was he a leader , a Tactician? No , and he didn't see how he could acquire those skills.


All other thoughts ended when he heard his own voice speak from behind him- albeit in a tone he rarely used anymore. how.. This isn't possible! All the other units are destroyed.. The 51's have different voices than this. 47 does too.. No no , this has to be in my head.. He couldn't ascertain why the voice was offering emancipation , either. He didn't WANT to leave , not without Why'nn and Forge. Throughout this he stayed attached to the Chiss' prescence , not letting go - and indeed , trying to hang on tighter as the voice announced it's identity. OH-NINE IS ALIVE?!? We all thought he died Oh-Six agreed so did Oh-Three.. Raxus Core , Oh-Eight practically championed the idea. But.. He.. He's been alive this whole time? This revelation had the effect of practically silencing any words anyone else stated , his arms going limp at his sides as he merely stood in shock.


Oh-One whimpered nearly inaudibly as Forge ceased the embrace , but otherwise , everything else might well have been said and done in vacuum. HK-50 - the ONLY HK-50 - turned around , his eyes snapping back to the Skittish Yellow as he saw a large , silver HK-50 unit standing there. This isn't possible no this is in my mind maybe all this is a programming glitch something cruel my Mistress designed Oh-Nine can't be alive he can't have separated himself from the meld it isn't possible none of this is possible.. Even if he saw Oh-Nine standing before him , still silver - if more of a grey-silver instead of the green-tinged silver they were at the start - he couldn't believe his Photoreceptors weren't lying. There was another hole in this scenario - why would Oh-Nine come back for him NOW? It's been years.. If he's been out there all this time and this isn't a trick.. Why now? Why is he here? What does he hope to gain?


HK-50-01 couldn't manage any words for more than a few moments , an eternity or a few seconds - it didn't matter. Finally , when he did speak , it was rather shaken and somewhat frightened. "Denial : NO! It it can't be you Oh-Nine died Oh-Eight said he couldn't possibly have broken from our shared consciousness no no this is a trick this is a programming error or or some sort of cruel simulation implanted in my head by Mistress even if Oh-Nine is alive -He isn't that's impossible - why would he come back now after all this time I I don't need saving anymore I've got Why'nn and and Forge here they're strong and loving and protecting no no this isn't happening isn't possible trick it's all a trick simulation m-maybe I'm dead..." HK-50-01 trailed off as he sank to the floor , sobbing and covering his photoreceptors with his hands. None of this is real if I just ignore it it'll all go away and it'll just be me and Forge again , still embracing.. But.. Oh no.. No no no... What.. If Forge isn't real too? That thought summoned a wail , but he was paralyzed by shock and fear , unable to move from his Postion.


Korriban


HK-50-09 began to get angry as this 'Forge' asked who he was- and said he didn't want to leave. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW! I just said I'm Oh-Nine. I look the same as Oh-One. And there's all these legends about me. So HOW THE RAXUS DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM! And why the Raxus don't you want to leave the Sith hate non-Purebloods or Non-Humans. And now Oh-One isn't going to leave EITHER , is he? FUCK! He took a step forward , struggling to keep from impaling the Chiss Idiot. He did realize that he had the blade active as he negotiated , but only when he decided to activate it and nothing happened - however , at this point , he didn't particularly care. Indeed , The only thing that stayed his blade at all was that Oh-One seemed to rather like this Forge , even giving a scarcely audibly whimper as their embrace ended.


Oh-Nine allowed Zerek to take over , sorely hoping the calmer being could succeed. He didn't mind that Zerek introduced him , though he normally would - only Oh-Nine was allowed to introduce himself. So far it seemed Delrick was doing well enough , trying to make sure their mission wasn't seen as hostile , reassuring Oh-One that it wasn't the same business as had happened on Hoth. Finally , Oh-Nine bit back a curse as Zerek said 'hurt.. Unless nessessary'. If the Sith were the same as they always were , Oh-One would hear that one as 'I'm going to hurt you as soon as possible'. He did , however , let Zerek finish. This Why'nn is probably somewhere else.. GREAT. Now we have to search MORE. Fripping WONDERFUL!





Already on the verge of an outburst , the mine was set off when Oh-One collapsed and began saying that it was all a 'simulation' and that Oh-Nine was dead. Pacing frantically as he did so , his voice came out at high decibels and intensely angered. "Anger : GREAT! WHY'NN ISNT HERE , FORGE THE IDIOT CHISS DOESNT CONNECT ANYTHING , OH-ONE IS CRYING BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M A SIMULATION AND YOU'RE FRIPPING THREATENING HIM! MOW HOW THE RAXUS ARE WE ALL LEAVING! FRIP! CAN ANYTHING ELSE SCREW UP? WHY DONT I JUST START BLASTING NOW , ITS GOING TO COME TO IT ANYWAY! HA!"

Illya nodded. Now was time to be more stealthy than anything. Best way to catch a Sith was to catch them off guard. So she moved through the graveyard, tracking, sure-footed, and silent. It wasn't long before they came upon an opening. The boy stood at the edge of it, staring down and the girl was calling from somewhere below. Illya motioned the other two to surround the opening.


Presences struck Why'nn so forcefully that she almost lost her grip on the wall. Focusing more, she could feel three distinct people. One felt like a force user. This couldn't be good. She scrambled back up beside Connor. "Uh... Connor? I think we have trouble," she murmured, taking her saberstaff in hand. "You feel that, right?"

Connor felt exactly what Why'nn felt. Instinctively, Connor pulled out his other saber and jumped down into the hole. As he jumped, he turned and dug his sabers into the side of the cave and began sliding down. "Why'nn! Go! There are people coming! We need to get down here and find a place to set up an ambush!" As he slid past, he found that the bottom wasn't far from where she actually was and he found his feet hitting the ground before long.


((There...A bit longer. Very sorry about that. Will still wait til later to post as Forge...))

Felucia





Why'nn, having scrambled back up beside him, was staring out of the opening. His words snapped her back to reality and she turned, beginning to slide down the incline. She knew she shouldn't have clambered back up. Now she was just wearing herself down.


"What's going on?!" And, of course, when no one was around he'd use code names but when they were about to be surrounded he screamed her real name. Having not used her saber to slow her descent, Why'nn slammed into a rock on her way down. It ripped a hole in her clothes and left a bloody mark on her thigh.

As the targets seemed to catch on Jace quickly radioed Rylos. "Obliterate their ship now!" he said. This was followed by an explosion not too far away likely Rylos destroying their ship. Jace then looked at Chuka and said "Do you have concussive or stun grenades? If so lob them into that hole in ground." Jace then readied his arm cannon and ran to edge of the hole. Aiming his arm cannon down and started firing a hail storm of laser bolts aiming for legs of the target or her companion.

Chuka followed the other two with a few metres between them, he kept the grenade launcher at a low ready as he moved through the graveyard. Carefully placing each step to move as silently as the terrain would allow.


The mass of bones didn't bother him, the lack of cover or concealment in this open area did though. It would've been better if they'd been able to skirt around the edge, but they had to follow the foot trail.


When Illya have the signal to surround Chuka started moved far to the right to give him a good field of fire and keep him out of lightsaber range for a bit longer. But when Jace asked a question followed by an order the warrior complied. "Roger that."


Using his jet pack to assist his jump, he gained some elevation and lobbed three grenades into the hole: a concussion, followed by a stun followed by another concussion grenade. The concussion grenades would detonate on impact while the stun would go off on a two second delay after impact. This would thoroughly disrupt their equilibrium and provide a good distraction for what Jace and Illya would be doing.

Cannon fire peppered the ground, narrowly missing Why'nn's legs, she looked to Connor, hoping he'd been lucky as well. As she rolled onto her feet, ready to sprint and hopefully take Connor with her, she heard the telltale sounds of a jetpack and grenades. With the Force she managed to grab a concussion grenade and send it flying back at their attackers, which, in retrospect, was not a smart idea considering there were two more grenades headed for her. The remaining concussion grenade hit and she grimaced, the world seeming to slow to a crawl. Her stumbling movements did not get her out of the blast radius of the stun grenade and she found herself unable to see or hear for several seconds. When her vision and hearing returned everything seemed a bit blurry and sounds felt far away. She staggered after Connor.


As the concussion grenade flew back toward them, Illya stepped up and shot it out of the air. It detonated about halfway between the cavern floor and the opening. Seeing the target moving slowly, uncoordinated, she aimed a tranq and fired.


There was a moment of pain and then Why'nn was asleep, falling heavily to the ground.


"And you doubted me, Chuka," Illya taunted.

Jace seeing the target collasped said "Thanks Illya, I shall pursue and take down loverboy, besides me and him have a score to settle." Jace racked his arm cannon on the rightside of his back. He then leapt into the hole slowing his descent with his jetpack landing at the bottom drawing his darksaber. "Come on loverboy, lets end this." Jace taunted. "You won't get away especially if you try to lug around your girlfriend with you. Your only escape is get me before I get you."

Connor had been with Why'nn the whole time. He'd taken a blast to the side, but it was nothing he couldn't ignore. The grenades had left him a bit dazed, so he found himself scrambling for a moment. When his senses returned, Connor looked and saw Why'nn ahead of him just slightly, lying on the ground. Perfect. Connor sprinted forward, positioning himself between Why'nn and the Mandalorian. Connor knew what he had in mind was risky, but he was going to try. Taking a seconding to focus Connor put up a Force barrier around himself and Why'nn, then looked up to the ceiling of the cave. He raised his hands toward it and the ceiling began to shake. The intention was clear, and Connor wasn't sure how long his barrier would hold, but he was still going to try. Rocks now began falling from the ceiling between he and Jace.

Okay, so loverboy was doing what it made sense to do. Illya also did what it made sense to do. She dove down the incline, activating her jetpack and shooting forward, grabbing Jace as she passed by. She dropped him on the Sith's right side and she took the left. Knowing Jace was a Force user, she assumed he would have something to counter this with. Raising her rifle, she fired a couple shots at the barrier. If it dropped, she was poised to grab the target and leave.

Connor, seeing that he was being flanked, stopped putting energy into bringing down the cave, and channeled his power into his barrier. It would be much stronger now, though he still didn't know how long he could hold it. He moved to Why'nn, picked her up in his arms, and began moving deeper into the cave. "Sorry, traitors. Gotta run." Dropping his barrier, Connor began to run using the Force, he was slowed somewhat as he was carrying Why'nn. He could only play avoid and evade for so long. As he left the area of the cave entrance, he noticed, as he was running, there was some kind of natural light that illuminated the cave. The cave was not a linear path either. There were five tunnels that went in several directions. He would have time, but not much since there were three of them here. Once he felt that he was in a semi-safe spot, he stopped and put Why'nn down, checking her for wounds.

Illya switched to a private channel with Chuka. "Kaysh mirsh solus..." ("He's an idiot.") Of course, with this she was referring to the Sith apprentice. Illya then nodded to Jace and took off down the path. Thankfully, she'd also shot a tracer round with the tranq. The target would not get away. The tracer would show on the rest of her group's map. It would still take her a few moments to get to the lovebirds, but she trusted Jace and Chuka would be right behind her.


Connor would find a gash on Why'nn's leg from impact with the rock on the way down. Other than that and the tranq dart sticking out of her neck, she would be fine.

HK-50-01 enjoyed the idea of working with Forge again. Maybe I could Persaude Mistress to let Forge go with Why'nn on her missions with Connor! Then I can have everyone I love together on missions! That would be wonderful oh so wonderful.. He didn't lose any respect for Commander Forge when the Chiss said he didn't feel inclined to the idea of consuming the heads of his enemies - Oh-One himself was incapable of it , albeit for different reasons. Mounting them to the walls would work , regardless. A trophy killer , then. I like that idea , indeed. Oh-One was very grateful that Forge considered him strong and an equal , even if he didn't entirely think so. Was he perhaps as strong? Yes. Was he a leader , a Tactician? No , and he didn't see how he could acquire those skills.


All other thoughts ended when he heard his own voice speak from behind him- albeit in a tone he rarely used anymore. how.. This isn't possible! All the other units are destroyed.. The 51's have different voices than this. 47 does too.. No no , this has to be in my head.. He couldn't ascertain why the voice was offering emancipation , either. He didn't WANT to leave , not without Why'nn and Forge. Throughout this he stayed attached to the Chiss' prescence , not letting go - and indeed , trying to hang on tighter as the voice announced it's identity. OH-NINE IS ALIVE?!? We all thought he died Oh-Six agreed so did Oh-Three.. Raxus Core , Oh-Eight practically championed the idea. But.. He.. He's been alive this whole time? This revelation had the effect of practically silencing any words anyone else stated , his arms going limp at his sides as he merely stood in shock.


Oh-One whimpered nearly inaudibly as Forge ceased the embrace , but otherwise , everything else might well have been said and done in vacuum. HK-50 - the ONLY HK-50 - turned around , his eyes snapping back to the Skittish Yellow as he saw a large , silver HK-50 unit standing there. This isn't possible no this is in my mind maybe all this is a programming glitch something cruel my Mistress designed Oh-Nine can't be alive he can't have separated himself from the meld it isn't possible none of this is possible.. Even if he saw Oh-Nine standing before him , still silver - if more of a grey-silver instead of the green-tinged silver they were at the start - he couldn't believe his Photoreceptors weren't lying. There was another hole in this scenario - why would Oh-Nine come back for him NOW? It's been years.. If he's been out there all this time and this isn't a trick.. Why now? Why is he here? What does he hope to gain?


HK-50-01 couldn't manage any words for more than a few moments , an eternity or a few seconds - it didn't matter. Finally , when he did speak , it was rather shaken and somewhat frightened. "Denial : NO! It it can't be you Oh-Nine died Oh-Eight said he couldn't possibly have broken from our shared consciousness no no this is a trick this is a programming error or or some sort of cruel simulation implanted in my head by Mistress even if Oh-Nine is alive -He isn't that's impossible - why would he come back now after all this time I I don't need saving anymore I've got Why'nn and and Forge here they're strong and loving and protecting no no this isn't happening isn't possible trick it's all a trick simulation m-maybe I'm dead..." HK-50-01 trailed off as he sank to the floor , sobbing and covering his photoreceptors with his hands. None of this is real if I just ignore it it'll all go away and it'll just be me and Forge again , still embracing.. But.. Oh no.. No no no... What.. If Forge isn't real too? That thought summoned a wail , but he was paralyzed by shock and fear , unable to move from his Postion.

HK-50-09 began to get angry as this 'Forge' asked who he was- and said he didn't want to leave. HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW! I just said I'm Oh-Nine. I look the same as Oh-One. And there's all these legends about me. So HOW THE RAXUS DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM! And why the Raxus don't you want to leave the Sith hate non-Purebloods or Non-Humans. And now Oh-One isn't going to leave EITHER , is he? FUCK! He took a step forward , struggling to keep from impaling the Chiss Idiot. He did realize that he had the blade active as he negotiated , but only when he decided to activate it and nothing happened - however , at this point , he didn't particularly care. Indeed , The only thing that stayed his blade at all was that Oh-One seemed to rather like this Forge , even giving a scarcely audibly whimper as their embrace ended.


Oh-Nine allowed Zerek to take over , sorely hoping the calmer being could succeed. He didn't mind that Zerek introduced him , though he normally would - only Oh-Nine was allowed to introduce himself. So far it seemed Delrick was doing well enough , trying to make sure their mission wasn't seen as hostile , reassuring Oh-One that it wasn't the same business as had happened on Hoth. Finally , Oh-Nine bit back a curse as Zerek said 'hurt.. Unless nessessary'. If the Sith were the same as they always were , Oh-One would hear that one as 'I'm going to hurt you as soon as possible'. He did , however , let Zerek finish. This Why'nn is probably somewhere else.. GREAT. Now we have to search MORE. Fripping WONDERFUL!





Already on the verge of an outburst , the mine was set off when Oh-One collapsed and began saying that it was all a 'simulation' and that Oh-Nine was dead. Pacing frantically as he did so , his voice came out at high decibels and intensely angered. "Anger : GREAT! WHY'NN ISNT HERE , FORGE THE IDIOT CHISS DOESNT CONNECT ANYTHING , OH-ONE IS CRYING BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M A SIMULATION AND YOU'RE FRIPPING THREATENING HIM! MOW HOW THE RAXUS ARE WE ALL LEAVING! FRIP! CAN ANYTHING ELSE SCREW UP? WHY DONT I JUST START BLASTING NOW , ITS GOING TO COME TO IT ANYWAY! HA!"

Forge stood up out of the bed and looked at the HK unit that identified himself as Oh-Nine. "Alright, let's calm down. I heard you say your name was HK-50-09. When I said that, I meant it as wondering who you are to HK-50-01. There's no need for violence right now. HK-50-01 has not been treated the best for a long time, so he believes he's being manipulated. I believe I can calm him down, if you'll allow me to." Forge took a chance and turned from Oh-Nine to Oh-One. Kneeling down, he placed a hand on what would be the droid's shoulder. "It's no trick. He's actually here. Come on, HK-50-01. Remember, you're going to help me command that legion and we are going to kill Nah-Iblen." He held his hand to the droid, offering him help up. "You have nothing to worry about."
