Zac turned as the presence exited the bar and was moving in a hurry. He waited until the target was almost out of sight or turn corners to sprint at blurring speeds to the corners following his presence. He didn't seem like most sith with the stories of their robes and such he didn't even see a lightsaber but it could just be concealed and he could just not like the typical sith style. He followed hiding around corners and large objects moving as a blur. He never had to peak out because he could just follow the darkside presence which oddly was around the individual but didn't seem to be coming from him exactly. This guy was just all kinds of irregular.

Nikal finally reached his hanger, the loading ramp of the Excalibur clanking as it touched the metal landing pad. As he marched up the ramp, it closed behind him and the ship began to raise into the skies. Unfortunately for him, his feeling of something is off never kicked in...

Zac continued tailing the suspect all the way to his ship. The time it took for the boarding ramp to leave the ground and meet the ship was all the time he needed with his force enhanced speed and reflexes. He was a  blur moving across the platform and onto the ship as the pilot made for the cockpit. Now onboard he needed somewhere to hide and he thought of no where perfect but the engine room no one checks the engine unless the ship has a problem and seeing as the ship took off the engine must be fine. He slipped into the engine room where he would remain until the jump to Hyperspace. It's during these times that pilots often relax with a false sense of security that moving beyond the speed of light grants.

"Everything good?" Nikal spoke as he took as he walked towards the cockpit, stopping to look into what was Tarquin's room, making sure his friend's Lightsaber was still there.


"Console says everything is in running order." replied Alli as he engaged the hyperdrive, just in time for Nikal to sit into his pilot's seat. The zooming lights of hyperspace was always enough to calm his nerves and help him focus a little.


"Go double-check the rest of the ship," order Nikal, "I don't want to have any unnecessary issues once we get into Dathomir's orbit. We'll need to get in and out swiftly." Alli beeped understanding as he rolled into the back end of the ship to do routine inspection. Nikal took the time to sit back and attempt to meditate and he was taught.

HK-50-01 marched along with the rest of the soldiers , starting at the back and advancing at a faster rate than the rest so as to survey every soldier. For the first several minutes , he saw no-one matching Delrick's various features. He has to be somewhere on this planet , even if he decided to give Mistress a wide berth.. Quickly enough he spotted the compound , and by the time Oh-One was close to the Army's front , they were at the halfway point. The moment he he heard a high pitched whistling noise , he snapped into a ready position and warily surveyed the landscape , even as the rest of the soldiers passed him during the March. 


For a moment Oh-One assumed it was some sort of explosives , until what he had thought were boulders rose up , revealing themselves to be Rancor Beasts. Almost immediately a synthetic noise approximating a wail could be heard from the vanguard's ranks , right as the chaotic bloodbath began. Finding himself in what (he thought) was a hopeless situation - Mistress wouldn't help him , trying to ask forge to protect him was likely to get the Commander killed , and Rancor beasts weren't known for their mercy - he ran immediately for the fringe of the battle , praying the Rancor didn't notice a lone droid (even if he was harshly shaking and muttering prayers in Rakatani). Unintentionally , he was practically circumventing the entire battle. Soon enough he would find himself on the other side (from the Sith) of the battle entirely , if he could evade the Rancor beasts and any Sith troopers who would halt him.

T7-V8 took control of the Tythian Shadow greedily , having looked forward to the opportunity to pilot the ship for a long while. In fact , he was so pleased he instantly acting out Delrick's orders - without even a whistle in protest or sarcastic compliance. Of course , Piloting the ship wasn't too difficult , especially with the modifications T7 had made to it's interface. As soon as Delrick had announces he was off the ship's ramp , the Tythian Shadow gunned it (though it was still cloaked) for what may just have been a crater , far enough away where no errant Sith troopers would discover it but close enough where he could reach Delrick's position in a matter of minutes.

HK-50-09 honestly didn't pay much attention to Zerek's words - already the rush and bloodlust of a battle was entering him , as he chose to imagine it did a Sith Lord. For a short time it appeared almost as if this wouldn't happen - the only 'battle' there was was to keep himself from turning his aggression on Manara or one of the various Sith troopers or elite guardsmen. That is , until he heard the high pitched whistle and saw the Rancors rise from their slumber.


Oh-Nine practically bellowed Rakatani war cries as he indiscriminately fired his repeating carbine,  darting from beast to beast , occasionally leaping upon one's back to throw a thermal detonator down it's gullet. He was in a complete and euphoric tunnel vision , not processing his targets , not paying attention to what happened around him , and certainly not listening to anything Zerek had to say to him. The chance to show my superiority is worth more to me than any money is. No , the money is a bonus , if a thoroughly welcome one - wealth is also a method of superiority. Who else could do what I've done in merely the past twenty minutes?

After seeing the Sith fleet and various smaller craft descend to the surface, HK-51 decided to follow suit. His escape pod was running low on fuel, he knew the coordinates wouldn't be as accurate as he would like, but the hunt was just as fun as the kill sometimes. His pod plunged through the atmosphere, a tiny burning blip in the distance to any radar devices nearby that quickly dropped below traceable range. The metallic cylinder landed into a mucky bog with a loud noise like a rock falling into a mud puddle. It sank so deeply into the soft earth that the front-opening hatch was deactivated and the assassin droid was forced to use up a shape charge to blow a hole in the roof of the pod. 


BOOM--bump-clang-splash The jagged shrapnel flew into the air several feet before sinking into the bog. Fifty One gathered his gear before pulling himself up out of the smoking hull, his head turned 360 degrees around to do an area scan. No movement or life forms detected. Just to be safe, once he cleared the quick sand-like mud, he activated cloaking procedures to roughly blend in with his environment while on the move. It wasn't difficult to guess the general direction of the Sith Armada. Not only did he watch their approach, but that many soldiers could be heard clamoring about from miles away. Wildlife flocked in a circle away from the militants. Holding his E-90 barrel up, Fifty One made his way toward the noise at a decent pace. With so many variables on Dathomir now, he wasn't confident that he would be undetectable at full speed. The swamp terrain in the surrounding area made his mission much more complicated, high ground would not help in the current situation, everything in his scope would be the tops of trees. That being considered, he still climbed up the largest tree he could find in order to gather some sort of topographical information. The bark on the tree was rough and thick, easy for an assassin droid to gain traction. Once he was high enough to look around the area, he realized at once that there was some sort of military complex to his North. The trees abruptly parted in a wide circle before reconvening again, that was also the direction of blaster fire. He saw a low flying craft approach the gap in the trees, which caused him to immediately drop down onto the soil below. Even though the chances of the ship detecting him were below 0.1%, he knew where he was headed now anyway. 


It took HK several minutes to close the distance between himself and the bunker using 'stalking' protocols, but he arrived undetected in time to watch the low flying craft open fire on something. He couldn't quite tell what it was, there were still too many obstacles in his way, but by the guttural and beastly sounds coming from the distance, he guessed that a native Rancor was involved. Sweeping around the back of the compound along the trees, Fifty One could see that there was a considerable clearing there. He assumed that Manara's forces would clear the compound with ease, no large force could be sheltered there unless there was an extensive underground compound, which he dismissed due to the unpredictable soil and massive amount of underground water. Nearly 200 meters from the clearing, the gunmetal droid leaped onto a huge, moss covered boulder nearly hidden by the dense trees.


While stationary, his cloaking device worked much better than before, from a distance he was completely invisible. The only hint anyone would have that he was there would be the sight of a small laser round, which would be far too late. Pulling up his rifle, he connected his targeting system into the electronic scope. He swept his vision across the field and saw nothing at first, not a worry to him though. 'I'll wait here for some time, chances are the forces will head into the clearing once they've killed everyone in the compound to check for survivors. There's no way Why'nn would be waiting in their with Nah-Iblen with a pathetic defense like that. This was all a distraction.' Just as he was about to run a quick diagnostic on his tracking algorithms, he spotted two figures emerging from the back side of the compound. He zoomed his scope in to find that a young girl, who was accompanied by an intimidating man, probably a Sith, were quickly making their way for the trees, fortunately not toward him. 'That's got to be Why'nn, not many little girls hanging out with greasy looking meatbag males on Dathomir these days.' If Why'nn was here, Manara would follow. Fifty One's circuits were practically tingling with delight.

As soon as he felt the ship jerk into Hyperspace he made his move. He opened the door of the engine room and removed his wan shen from his back he wouldn't be able to do any broad sweeping attacks but can still fight. He moved a blur from the engine room the cockpit. He extended the bladed end of the wan shen at the back of pilot's chair. "My weapon will go right through this chair, sithspawn I recommend you don't try anything and comply with my demands. I want you to tell me all you know about the sith and their recent in fighting." Zac explained in a calm tone.

Falis ran blindly through the forest thanking all that was good that he'd managed to sneak past the Rancors.  He took a quick look back to be sure no one was chasing him, and that's when he ran headlong into someone else, sending both of them tumbling to the ground.  Fali quickly got off of the person, and then realized that it was that girl that Nah-Iblen had brought in as his...  Apprentice?  He wasn't quiet sure what their relationship had been, but this girl was definitely not a slave.  Hoping to avoid death, Fali threw himself at her feet.


"Please, oh please do not kill me."

Nikal was shaken from his meditation, his right hand instantly soft grasping the grip on his blaster. He couldn't see behind him, and there was any number of weapons that could go through the pilot's seat so he couldn't even begin to fathom what species and their particular weapon of choice could be. But one word held on to him: 'Sithspawn'. There was always one option Nikal could rely on: snarky remarks.


"You call me Sithspawn, but yet you are the one willing to attack a man who has his back turned?"


He carefully gripped his blaster a little more, something he was good at doing without allowing others to notice. If he was going down, he was going to make enough noise so that Alli knew to activate Plan R.

Sanguina glared at him, her rage barely holding.  "Fali...  Today's been an absolute disaster.  I won't kill you if you help me find my Master's ship."  The girl's hand was dangerously close to her knives.  She had stopped to converse with him, but seemed nervous, looking around like she expected someone else was about.  "Come.  I don't have time for this."  Blood still dripped from her bag as she moved.

"I can sense the dark side coming from you, though it's not like the other presence yours is less almost trace. But still you haven't answered my request. Everything you know about the Sith's infighting, I want to know it. Cooperate and I will not impale you. Also place any arms you have to the right of your chair where I can see them." Zac replied. This guy was clearly not scared he was calm a little too calm. Likely he's porbably been in such a situation before, he's probably going to try something.

Fali gulped, then nervously pointed into the dense swamp of Dathomir.


"Nah-Iblen had a bunker deeper into the swamp in case someone breached his defenses, or he wanted to avoid guests.  I think he kept a small ship, just a two man craft.  He took me there once or twice to clean the place, and check that the non-perishables were still in good condition."


Fali began to walk into the jungle, a knife he'd stolen from Nah-Iblen's torture room clutched in his hand.


"I'll show you where it is if you take me with you."

Sith in-fighting? Nikal understood something was going on within the Sith ranks, but fighting among themselves? This guy seemed to be leaning more towards his side, and a new ally could be useful, or it could have been a trap.


"Why would I tell you anything? For all I know, you're a Sith assassin who wants to find out how widespread Sith information is and you plan to kill me regardless."


Nikal took his hand off his grip and placed his hands as he was told. He felt he could hear the whirling of Alli's movement around the ship, and almost hoped that Alli would come by and make a distraction long enough for him to fend off this trespasser. On the other hand, he couldn't risk losing another friend. All he could do was buy time until they slipped out of hyperspace, and then hopefully he could make a move.


"Tell you what, you give me the courtesy of standing and facing my assailant, and I'll answer any question you want."

"Sith assassin?" Zac questioned. Then mumbled to himself "Has the infighting reached this level where assassins would be sent against other sith? Of course it makes sense, according to what I heard about what happened on Tattooine."


Seems the other guy wanted the courtesy of being face to face with him. Zac didn't see a problem with that so stepped back a bit so he could re aim his wan shen. Then he replied "Yes you may get up and face me, but try anything and the consequences will be on you."

Zerek, seeing that his efforts were very effective, decided to get his ass on the ground and do what he was paid for. That and the music had ended, which was a real mood-killer. Zerek landed his ship around the back of the compound, gathering up his weapons and checking his supplies. Once the ship landed, he disembarked and armed his security system. "Alrighty. If I were a Sith Lord who just brought hell to my doorstep, where would I be?" Zerek thought for a few seconds before answering his own question. "Basement, duh." He leveled his deck-clearing blaster and began walking towards the compound, being loud enough to be heard from the forest with his ship landing and all.

Nikal kept his hands in plain view as he slowly raised to his feet, taking his time to survey his interrogator. 'He's...human?' There was nothing that stood out to him that allowed him to determine who this person was, where he was from, or who he was sided with. Then he took a glance at the weapon. 'Pole-arm? Nothing special. He doesn't look Echani.' Nothing stood out to him, other than the fact the person standing across from him could make one swipe and clear the room, meaning he couldn't draw his firearm in time.


Then he noticed the metal the weapon was made from. "You a Mandalorian?" were the first words to come from his mouth once he fully raised to his feet. 'If he is, then at least I know he's not Sith. At least if he had any honor.' Which raised more questions, like how a Mandalorian managed to sneak his way aboard a Republic funded scouting ship like the Excalibur without warning.

He looked at Nikal closely and now that he was facing him he could pinpoint the darkside presence and he moved his wan shen to point around the area with the Sith blaster was holstered. He gave a quizzical expression and when the guy asked if he was a mandalorian that expression shifted to almost laughter. "That's funny, is it the spaulders because they are metal or is it the beskar in my wan shen? Either way no I am a Matukai. You know those space faring renown martial artist who use the force with a focus on bodily enhancement." Zac replied.


Then a thought struck him. "You would have sensed me a mile away if you were a real sith. And the darkside presence I have been following is centered on one part of you. You're no sith, but what is that thing? Who are you and who do you fight for?" He said his wan shen aimed at the area.

"I suppose, you're proving yourself useful after a-"  Sanguina stopped before she finished her sentence, hearing the steps and words of the renegade.  Her eyes narrowed.  'He's heading to the compound, to my master's compound.  He's a lowlife and probably going to take some of his stuff...  But I'm coming back here to take over where Master left off.'  The area around her grew colder and she reached out through the force, grabbing at Zerek's ankle, meaning to pull it out from under him.

"Matukai? That's a myth." retorted Nikal. He had occasionally heard stories of Matukai while hanging around the Jedi Temple, but he always assumed they were tall tales meant to scare young Jedi into not swaying from the Light Side, like the boogeyman. But yet, supposedly here stood one in front of him, and it could explain how he got on board without tripping any sensors. He was uncertain of what to do and what to believe, but he noticed they were almost out of hyperspace and attempted to stall a little longer.


"Why would a Matukai be interested in the Sith?"

"Who are you calling a myth? Just because there are less than a hundred of us at any given time doesn't mean we don't exist." Zac replied annoyed. "I am interested in the sith because the galaxy is falling apart especialliy at the hands of the sith. A galaxy under the Republic is better than under the Sith Empire. Once I heard there was in fighting, saw this as my chance to change things and destabilize the sith empire. The more the sith fight each other the weaker they become as a whole. I have these skills might as well put them to use for the good of the galaxy."


He set his wan shen parallel to himself not no longer aiming it at Nikal. "My name is Zac Krynn, I wish to know who you are and who you fight for. More importantly just where is this ship heading?"

Nikal looked deep inside him for a moment, trying his hardest not to react on emotion, which was difficult being this person trespassed on his ship and had the audacity to pull a weapon on him while his back was turned, but he felt in this moment Tarquin would have said the right thing.


"Very well, I'm Nikal Onasi, a soldier for the Republic, though we aren't on the best of terms. Me and my crew set scanners around various sectors in the galaxy, from the Outer Rim in, to detect whatever we could before the Republic did. The scanners picked up a large Sith fleet exiting hyperspace in the Quelii Sector, Dathomir to be exact. I don't know why the Sith would be interested in the planet, and I don't know much about the planet itself, but I want to strike hard before the Republic screws up this war."


Nikal braced himself as he felt the ship start to lurch, almost ready to exit hyperspace. Alli would likely be back any moment to resume as co-pilot, causing Nikal to hope that he wouldn't panic at the new ally and raise an alarm.

"Crew? Isn't it just you and your droid?" Zac asked. But what drew his interested more was when he said strike hard.


He continued "How do you intend to strike hard against a sith fleet? This has to be connected with the alleged infighting going on because apparently sith were fighting each other on Tatooine. They say some Mandalorians were involved as well. Either way it seems we are on the same side or sometning like that. Apologies for the misconception. But there is one question of mine you haven't answered and that it what is the dark presence I sense on you if you aren't a sith."


He pointed at Nikal's ankle. "What do you have there?"

The Excalibur finally came out of hyperspace, causing the two to grab the nearest objects to maintain a little balance. "Very observational." Nikal remarked about his crew comment, pulling his up pants leg, "This is a Sith Assassin Pistol, of a make and model I'm unaware of. Snatched it off a dead Sith roughly a standard decade ago. Very handy side-piece."


Suddenly, Alli came strolling in as if he was on a roll through the park to immediately notice of the new guest. "Come Alli, we have work to do." This was enough to let Alli know they were safe. As the droid injected into the co-pilots seat, Nikal sat in his own before disengaging the autopilot. "As for striking hard, with a fleet this big someone important must be on-board, and there must be something important on this planet, and the ideal goal is to take both of them out." 


Nikal then tapped Alli on the head to make sure he was awake, which a quick beeping assured he was. "Send a probe out, find out what so interesting." As a probe was launched at ludicrous speed out of the side of the ship towards the planet, Nikal gave a clear warning to Zac, "Its suicide, once we land you may want find another way off the planet."

Very handy side-piece."


Suddenly, Alli came strolling in as if he was on a roll through the park to immediately notice of the new guest. "Come Alli, we have work to do." This was enough to let Alli know they were safe. As the droid injected into the co-pilots seat, Nikal sat in his own before disengaging the autopilot. "As for striking hard, with a fleet this big someone important must be on-board, and there must be something important on this planet, and the ideal goal is to take both of them out." 


Nikal then tapped Alli on the head to make sure he was awake, which a quick beeping assured he was. "Send a probe out, find out what so interesting." As a probe was launched at ludicrous speed out of the side of the ship towards the planet, Nikal gave a clear warning to Zac, "Its suicide, once we land you may want find another way off the planet."

"So that's what I have been sensing, if you had it for a decade makes sense that I would sense a darkside presence around you." Zac replied to the explanation of the Sith Assassin Pistol. He stood to the side allowing the droid to pass. 


At the mention of someone important Zac had an idea. "Well anything we do we want the sith continue fighting so we should make it look like it was done by another sith. Would you happen to have a lightsaber or do you think we can steal one of a sith. If it's a person then that likely means elimination, if so we leave no witnesses, no data recordings, and make it look like a sith did it." Zac explained.


Nikal warned him that this was likely to not end well. Zac replied humoursly "If it's suicide then I guess I already have a way off the planet."

THE EXCALIBUR - DATHOMIR ORBIT


Nikal thought at the mention of a lightsaber, and responded once Zac had finished speaking. "Nope, don't have a lightsaber. Not well versed in melee-weapons myself."


As the probe came online, Nikal turned his seat to look at the probe screen, allowing him to see what the probe could see. "There's nothing but swamp. Very few villages, some ... huts? What's on this planet that the Sith are so interested in?"

The Excalibur - Dathomir Orbit





Zac thought about why would the sith be here. "Try searching for any dropships? They wouldn't just hover in orbit they had to have landed possibly with a sizeable force. Try a biological scan of the surface from the ship for a sizeable amount of individuals." Zac explained. 


A Fleet of ships like this would have to include ground forces and they were here before us maybe even long before us.
