Divergence in Destiny (Star Wars RP)

"Yes, HK-50-01, we were careful. No, you aren't going to have to take care of a baby any time soon. Yes, I agree on the speeder option and passion." She sighed as she thought about what the old man had said. "HK-50-01, run the name 'Ini Ma'at' through the databases... If a hit comes up, let me know what it is and also send that find back to Mother's files." This was more than a hunch, depending on whether the Jedi was lying. But if he wasn't... if he was really wanted, she wanted to be the one to bring it forth to Mother. It would be better that way. Show the HK unit's usefulness and prove she was worthy of being Darth Manara's daughter.
 
HK-50-01 was happy they had been 'safe'. He knew what she meant by that , however - the almost hundreds of instructionals on such matters he had downloaded when he had been passed Why'nn herself , 14 years ago when she was a mere two days old. He also was joyed he wouldn't receive another - he had a difficult enough time of it with Why'nn , and Mistress may hurt him if Why'nn had a second baby and he did nothing about it. HK-50 also enjoyed that she would allow him to ride with her , and that she agreed with his observations - and more glad she didn't hurt him. Mistress surely would have , had he brought this up to her in this fashion.


He was fine until she implied that they wanted to go after the Jedi again. The shaking began again , as he thought of what that could entail. No no no you nearly died the first time can't do that again no no please please don't no no no no please no please! The 'hit' had came up immediately in combat , and the bounty was astronomical - 60 billion credits. Anyone with a bounty that high he didn't want to face. He would rather get hurt by Mistress than lose Why'nn to a foolish quest.


So he said so , in a pleading way. He shook violently as he said so , reliving the fight and the siezure he had afterwards in an instant. "Plea : NO PLEASE! We can't fight him again you nearly died the first time. I can't lose you. I already said , I will kill myself if I lose you. You are it for me , all I live for and all I ever want to live for. And.. And Connor , who - thank you for being safe and not having a child - you just.. Fornicated with... Wouldn't enjoy it either. And and and.. I don't want another seizure because I think I lost you... Please please don't do this. I..I.. R-re-refuse y-y-your o-ord-order , Why'nn." With that he shook loudly , and started to cower. But he wouldn't submit or fall to his knees. He had to remain strong on this.

Zerek continued walking through the cave turned temple, looking for any sign of loot. "Rock, rock, rock, damp and shiny rock, rock. Where's the loot? Didn't the Order use this at one point? Last one at least had a saber hilt." He continued advancing through the cave, one hand holding his flashlight and the other hovering over his blaster pistol. He had more, of course, but the were in his ship and that was a good klick or so away. He even had a few heavier weapons hanging in the hold. He stopped as something caught his eye. "Hello hello hello, what have we here?" Zerek walked over and picked up a crystal. Old, busted, probably without function, and yellow to boot. But way too many people liked shiny things. And this thing was shiny, practically reflecting his flashlight's beam back at him. He picked up the crystal and stashed it in his coat. "Well at least this isn't a complete bust." Zerek continued deeper into the cave, looking around.
 
Why'nn frowned at the outright refusal. "I'm not talking about going after him. If he's above our ability to deal with, however, we should send this information back to Mother. And by the way you're acting..." she took a step toward him, looking all too much like Manara in her poise and manner, "it looks like you already ran it. You found something, didn't you?" She reached him and took his hand. "I won't hurt you, that I promise you. However... if you've found something Mother will want to know. We will continue on our mission for the holocron. We aren't kitted out for an assassination or anything more heavy duty than what we already have planned. You will pass that information on to Mother, however."
 
HK-50-01 didn't cease shaking when Why'nn frowned at him , and rather started shaking more - if that was even possible. The only thing that relieved him was that Why'nn wasn't planning on going after the Arkanian. But he certainly didn't want to report to Mistress , not with all that had gone on. He would rather report back with success. One thing I've learned of the Sith , one thing only - don't report back unless you have some good news. Unless you want your head taken from your shoulders , that is..


He was almost ready to just try to run when she mentioned how he was acting and approched him.. Exactly as Mistress would. He knew at that moment , that terribly long moment , he had finally made Why'nn angry. His eyes turned black , and a low moan escaped him , not heard above the cacophony of shaking he produced. NO NO NO GOING TO BE HURT SHOULDNT HAVE REFUSED NO NO PLEASE I'M SORRY SORRY SORRY PLEEEEAASE NO NO FORGIVE ME PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! He almost did fall to his knees and submit , almost failed to stay strong.


When she grabbed his hand and assured him there was no torture to be found , He calmed enough to resort to just audible shaking instead of the enormous cacophony he had crafted the moment before. But he had been told this before and it still happened. And he still didn't want to report to Mistress without any good news to report. He would do so , but only if they would do as she said and stick to their own mission. Indeed he didn't have his full assassination tool set , and it couldn't be found in the Armory. Why'nn uttered the word 'Will' a little too harsh , and he moaned once more.


But he still did not submit. "Plea : thank you for not going after him and not hurting me.. T-t-though you s-stand a li-little like M-Mist-Mistress and... And she's saidsuchthing... OH! please don't make me report to mistress without good news that brings pain hurt please oh please... F-fine , I m-may. B-but you'll have to s-swear by the Dark S-Side that you won't go after the J-Jedi. And please please please don't hurt me please I'm just protecting you PLEASE PLEAAAASE I'M SORRY! Ok ok ok he-he's worth s-sixty b-b-billion credits now please don't make me report to Mistress PLEASE NO!"
 
It was then that Why'nn realized just how much she was acting like her mother. Should she take that as a compliment? Yes, yes she should. However, the last thing she wanted was to have her friend fear her, so she drew him into a hug again, stroking him softly. "You never need to fear me, HK-50-01. I love you. You're my friend and you've taken care of me all of my life. Though I'd rather you didn't start shaking every time I change my tone, I could never actually be angry with you." At the information, her eyes narrowed. "Very well... we will not report this information back until we have the Holocron. There are a couple Mandalorians in the area... perhaps we tip them off to his existence here, let them deal with him. We will go after what we're supposed to. Anyone can take him down... no one else knows about this Holocron. It is the device Mother is after." She continued to stroke his back. "Don't fear me, friend. You never have a reason to fear me."

HK-50-01 felt himself be drawn into her arms and enjoyed the gentle touches on his back. For the moment he was still shaking , worried that she was going to flip his switch - she was being like Mistress - until she started to reassure him. His eyes turned back to Yellow , but He altogether wasn't sure if he could stop shaking when she began to get upset with him - mainly Because sometimes she just acted so much like Mistress that he was worried she'd turn into Darth Manara outright. b-but I shall... Shall still make an effort. Why'nn is right.. I need not fear her anger , she wouldn't hurt me.. He somewhat was displeased with HIMSELF for getting afraid of her , because he knew that always made her upset.


He was very happy to hear that she would allow him to report the information after the achieved success - not thinking , of course , that Mistress would want to know immediately. However HK-50 had never particularly been good at anticipating his Mistress , and this had caused him very , very much pain before. At the moment his thoughts merely read out as THANK YOU OH YES THANK YOU YES MERCIFUL WHY'NN THANK YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YES YES THANK YOU! on a loop , and he didn't register the comment about Mandalorians immediately. He had always liked the Mandalorian culture - at one point thinking of escaping the Sith and joining them , until he realized they would just turn him back over when the Bounty was posted. That was part of what made him like them , as well. Ah , I'm sure a fight like the one we had they noticed. They're probably on it already.. Or researching it if not. Those beings get things done.


As she continued to stroke him he let out a first , for him - a pleasurable purr. His eyes went orange once again as they had been most of the Trip , and he decided to speak. "Gratitude : oh thank you so very much thank you! I appreciate you caring instead of hurting me.. And. I can't lie to you - I don't know if I can stop shaking when you raise your tone to a more displeased version. But.. I shall make an effort. Mistress told me to stop once.. But I.. It's hard to stop being afraid of being hurt when your being hurt for it. I of course can make that effort for you , since you have yet to hurt me and I know you will always reassure me.. I'm sorry. Just... At that moment you looked like a paler , smaller version of Mistress and.. Fear got the best of me. On to Official Sith Business.. I'm sure the fight we had attracted the Mandalorian's attention. How could it not have? I'm sure they're already on to it. YES! Thank you. I can report good news when I report and she won't hurt me for it. Thank you for being here for me.. Thank you so much for always being there when I'm frightened.. Again. I shall make an effort. But I do say so.. Not submitting was progress , yes?"
 
"Yes, not submitting was huge progress. And your eyes are orange again. I like that on you. They should remain that way..." She continued stroking his back gently. He wasn't shaking, which was good. "Hurting you for being afraid of being hurt is counterproductive and only reinforces the idea of being terrified. My hope is that, over the course of several missions, you can regain your former confidence. When I win you from Mother, you shall be at my side always. I will remove those brands from you. You will be a trusted adviser and will always accompany me in to battle." Did this make her weak? No. She decided it didn't.
 
HK-50-01 almost leaped in joy when she said he had made large amounts of progress by not submitting. He only didn't because he enjoyed being stroked like he was currently , and didn't want to move from it. It also brought him happiness that she said she enjoyed his default orange eyes - he had little control over what color they changed , but he would try his hardest to keep them that way. He lent himself over to the stroking of his back , not wanting this moment to end. She was pleased with him , he had made progress in being his older self , she even was happy with his orange eyes - he had been actually beaten for their 'clashing' with the red on his body.


The Ancient Droid was only made happier when she said she not only wouldn't hurt him , but found it counterproductive. That surely meant she would never hurt him - even in cold Sith mode , she would still find it useless to hurt him. When she , this wonderful girl he had raised and loved , said she hoped for him to regain his former composition and mental state , he nearly whooped loud enough for someone on nearby bespin or Ison to hear. She wants me to be unbroken whole... This.. OH! YES YES YES THIS IS TOO GREAT TOO GREAT SHE LOVES ME REALLY , TRULY LOVES ME MORE THAN ANYTHING SHE LOVES ME!


This joy compounded when she said she wanted to free him from Mistress. His eyes took on a green rim to the orange they already were , and he actually did let out a moderate howl of joy. And above that.. She wanted him by her side. In BATTLE. OH OH OH YES YES YES I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER TOO WONDERFUL TOO JOYOUS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! He had never truly been anyone's trusted advisor or battle companion.. Not among Sith Lords themselves. 'You are a droid! Why should I trust anything you say!' WELL! She does! Oh oh oh this is so.. Wonderful wish I could go forward in time live then be free now..


And by now his eyes were mostly green. Lighter green , but still green - the color that truly expressed his happiness. "Extreme Gratitude : YOU MEAN IT OH YES YES YES I MADE PROGRESS USEFULNESS OH THANK YOU FOR NOT HURTING ME FOR HAVING ORANGE EYES SAYING COLOR CLASHES I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU! YOU WANT ME WHOLE OH THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU'RE SO WONDERFUL EXCELLENT BEST PERSON CREATED BETTER THAN ANYONE! NEVER BEEN ADVISOR OH THANK YOU I'LL PERFORM THREE HUNDRED PERCENT CAPACITY YES OH THANK YOU I CANT REPAY A DEBT LIKE THAT ALWAYS BE AT YOUR SIDE! OH THANK YOU WHY'NN YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT POWERS THE GALACTIC CORE MERCY OF A MILLION BEINGS I LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!" With that he actually cooed and purred loudly and repeatedly , in pure ecstasy - as close as he had ever gotten. He would never , never shake because of her again - because she would never , never hurt him - far from.
 
So many things were going on in the Galaxy, but life, even as a Jedi, was boring for young Jedi Knight Jesslean Shan, a Descendant of Bastila Shan and even Revan himself. Jesslean found herself traveling to Hoth out of boredom. She could sense trouble within the Force, which left her concerned, since it wasn't often that would happen. Since it was a cold planet, the young Jedi got her robe on to help keep warm, since she wasn't exactly looking forward to freezing to death. As she landed on the planet, she frowned, since it was boring. She even began questioning why she was even there. While standing on the cliff side, Jess would start staring at the snowy surface.
 
It was odd, how cleanly picked the place looked. Most of the time the floor of these areas were covered with rubble, bones, and most importantly, loot. The floor in this cave? Mostly clean, like the previous occupants had to clean the place before they died. Even the dust was disturbed. He was looking at a large and well-organized group of assholes. Assholes who got the good stuff first. And, to top off his irritation, he felt a spike in the Force. Someone had just entered the atmosphere. Someone strong with the Light Side on top of the other presences he felt. He had to hold himself back from groaning. Now he had to keep his head low in case some self-righteous know-it-all burst in claiming the he needed to abandon his evil ways and go back to the Order.


As he kept walking, he started noticing equipment. Consoles, boxes, blasters, the usual pirate affair.
'EVEN BETTER! Throw me in the pits of Mustafar!' Zerek started inspecting the equipment left behind, finding it all busted up beyond repair. Even the blasters energy packs were fried. He nearly started kicking things across the room before calming himself and cooling his rage. 'OK, just because they got some of the loot doesn't mean they got all of it. I need to at least check for the holocron and see if it's still here. The only upside is that it's going to be unguarded.' Zerek continued, pulling his bandanna up over his nose to hide some of his facial features and using his goggles to cover his eyes. 'Please tell me I'm right.' He drew his blaster pistol as he ventured ever deeper into the cave.

Jace received a transmission from his starship in low orbit at the same moment it felt like another blip appeared on some imaginary radar. "Sir another ship has entered the planet, origins unknown." Jace then thought maybe he should check this one out himself. The Sith didn't seem like they were going anywhere anytime soon, Chuka could just keep up with them. The old jedi is another subject of interest but can also be dealt with later. He turned his stolen starfighter around towards the last known coordinates of the new ship and as he got closer he ejected from the star fighter leaving it to crash in a far off glacier as he descended from the air using his jetpack so slow his descent. He landed with one crunch of his boots on icy snow.
 
Hoth





Connor walked out of the cabin and listened to HK-50-01 talk about things. He felt slightly uncomfortable when the droid asked about taking precautions against pregnancy, which made him wonder if he should have used better judgement when he decided he was...in love? with someone two years younger than him. However, before he had time to process his thoughts, the comm line began to beep, signaling an incoming holo from somewhere. Connor walked over to the control panel to see where it was from. Korriban. It was Manara. Connor turned to Why'nn and HK-50-01. "Why'nn...It's your mother." He pressed the button and the large holo projector in the middle of the room displayed the image of the Sith. "Master. This is an unexpected call."





The hologram of Manara looked down at the boy, a hint of anger in her gaze. "Yes. I'm sure it is, however, I don't care. Why are you still in your ship? Why aren't you out looking for the Holocron?"





Connor shifted uncomfortably at the question, glanced to Why'nn, the back to the hologram. "We did go out, but we encountered some...resistance that we weren't expecting. We decided it best to fall back to the ship until we could figure out how to proceed. Is this why you called?"





Manara glared at the boy and began to choke him with the Force. "How dare you question me as to why I called!" She strangled him for a moment longer, then released him. "Would you care to tell me what resistance you have encountered?" Manara sighed and waved her hand. "Forget that for a moment. Where is my daughter? I must speak with her immediately."





Connor coughed as he knelt on the floor and rubbed at his neck. It wasn't the first time Manara had strangled him, but this felt...different. Manara was much more angry than she was letting on. Connor gave a glance to Why'nn, waiting for her to step into view of the holo rather than say anything to her.
 
Chuka heard what was Jace said, it made sense. But then again Jace had always been better at seeing the bigger prize. Though $60 billion was pretty big. "Roger that. I'll watch em." He glanced at the sky just then, it of curiosity. "Where are you gonna crash that?" That's when he saw the fiery steak. "Nevermind." He ended the comlink and shook his head and watched the Sith ship. "What are you three doing in there? The Jedi..." He scanned back over to where he'd last seen him. "Is still there watching as well." Sitting down on the snow the warrior cradled his rifle as he waited. "For being the most feared beings in the galaxy, you take a long time getting ready."
 
Why'nn glanced to the comms. How did her mother always know when something was going down? She released HK-50-01 from the hug. "Go wait by the speeders," she whispered before stepping into her mother's view and bowing. "Mother." As she straightened she could almost feel the anger radiating off of the projection. Well, she could feel her mother's anger through the Force. While it should've scared her, it empowered her. She was always able to feed off of her mother's darker emotions. And this she waited, offering no resistance and showing no rebellion. Then again, she was rarely rebellious on missions. Rather than risk her mother's ire by offering an explanation, she waited.
 
The hologram of Manara glared down at her daughter for a long, tense moment. She was trying to judge whether or not she believed her own blood would attempt to learn the Jedi arts, but she had to know. "Daughter. I've heard something that has troubled me greatly. It seems there are some here at the academy who have been studying the ways of the Jedi..." She eyed her daughter closely, watching for the tiniest hint that she might be hiding something from her. She gave the slightest smile at the thought she was about to express. She wondered how the girl would react to mention of her father. "As you are no doubt aware, your father was a type of Jedi, and I can't help but wonder if he imparted some of his knowledge to you without my knowing. Surely you remember the price he payed for his betrayal..."
 
Why'nn glared at the mention of 'Jedi,' then it deepened at the mention of The Traitor. Though she was conflicted, deeply so, at anything to do with her father, at the moment he brought her nothing but a deep-seeded anger. "I swore I would never betray you." Despite what was now rage, she managed to keep her tone in check. "Of course he tried to teach me. Years ago. Do you really believe me so foolish as to have held onto that?" Her normally golden eyes grew to a deep red. "He was a traitor." This was untrue, but in the moment she believed it. Her mother would sense no deception, only unadulterated rage. In this moment she was, entirely, the child of the Sith Lord.
 
Manara's smile only grew larger as she felt her daughter's anger and rage. Despite the fact she was leaning toward believing her, there would still have to be a conversation when she returned to Korriban. "Very well, daughter. I will trust you on this for now. Surely you learned the lesson well that day." Manara's smile, if it were possible, grew even more cruel than usual as she finished that statment. "Finish the mission you are on as fast as you can. I shall need your help for this development when you return." Manara's smile never wavered, even knowing that she would end up needing to interrogate her daughter further. "Now, what is this other situation the spoke of? This 'resistance' he says you encountered, what is it?"

HK-50-01 continued to purr and coo , still purely ecstatic of what was happening to him. He failed to notice the Console beeping at that moment , and wasn't going to get up to look at it regardless. Why'nn loves me loves me more than she does anyone only one who does except Connor only one who can make me do this I love her love her more than the Galaxy itself and everything in it and more than the Sith! He continued vocalizing his pleasure until Connor walked in and said that it was Mistress calling.


NO NO how could she know why why can't she just leave me in pleasurable states like I was in! Don't answer say we're fighting please please.. But Connor did answer it - causing HK-50 to start lightly trembling as he always did around Mistress. That only was proven to be a reasonable response when it seemed Manara was Displeased- and the droid only didn't tremble louder because he was still being comforted. He didn't particularly notice the words as much as the actions - she used a telekinetic choke on Connor , which made him sorely wish she didn't want to speak to Why'nn or himself.


As such it was only natural that Mistress wanted to talk to Why'nn - who ordered him to remain by the speeders. This he complied with - loosely. The speeders were a mere set of meters from the console , within sight. However , he didn't entirely want to go over tow where Mistress seemed to be most displeased. So he merely stood where he was and listened to what was altogether completely distressing. Why'nn had used Light Side powers on Hoth already.. And he also sorely didn't want her to be killed.


Respectfully waiting for Why'nn to respond , her words - when she did speak- didn't bother him. She was denouncing her father only for Mistress , correct? And asides - he didn't care how angry she was - knowing he was never going to be hurt by her - only lightly trembling as he always did with Mistress around. He walked to stand beside her , impassively holding his position. Why'nn wouldn't let Mistress hurt him for any length of time that he wasn't already prepared to handle. Looking into her eyes he saw them change to the color red from the usual gilded color , signaling anger. But he didn't speak just yet , not sure what he would say. Speaking to mistress without being spoken to first was nearly always a bad idea , in his experience.


However mistress' query did warrant his words , so he spoke in his usual tone. Emboldened and strengthened by Why'nn's protective prescense , he replied with a clear voice and only the usual subtle trembling. "Answer : oh mighty Mistress , we encountered a Jedi Master named Ini Ma'at. I was.. No use in lying. I was wanting to wait until we finished our own mission to report locating him. We managed to survive the encounter - but we aren't entirely equipped for that. The armory here isn't.. Fully prepared for my assassinations gear. I.. Apologize for my failure , Mistress. Otherwise we have not encountered any other hostile elements - though I did spot a Mandalorian Kom'rk class transport. But they work with the Glorious Sith , do they not? Your mission shall be completed as you request , Mistress of All Things. This I swear to you upon everything I believe."

Her rage did not diminish, but she also did not strike out as she usually would've at Connor. 'Damn it, HK-50-01! She'll torment you for speaking out of turn!' "It would seem this area is attracting a lot of attention. What are your orders concerning the Jedi?" Seething, but respectful. And it also showed a great amount of courage on HK-50-01's part to speak that way to her mother. Still, she hoped her mother would overlook him speaking out of turn. Her attention had not turned to Connor in the entirety of this conversation, though she knew she'd likely go to him as soon as the comms were closed.
 
Manara's smile instantly faded when the droid dared to speak for her daughter. Rather than flipping his switch, however, she reached out with the Force and shoved him backwards, slamming him hard into the wall of the ship. "I didn't ask you, droid. I was speaking with my daughter." She smirked, satisfied she'd gotten her point across, then turned her attention back to her daughter. "If the three of you couldn't take down the Jedi Master, then I suggest you avoid him. If the Mandalorians don't deal with him first, then I will dispatch a Sith squadron to take the Jedi by force. I will say, however, that I am disappointed none of you managed to kill him. I thought I trained you better." She gave a sigh. "No matter. Finish your mission quickly and get back here. That is all." With that, the image of Manara disappeared and the comm line closed.


Connor hadn't moved an inch. He had stayed kneeling down even though he was out of his Master's view. He had grown complacent in a matter of hours thinking he could question his Master. He was a fool, and he needed to remember that he was not allowed to ask questions like that to his Master. Even when the comm cut out, Connor didn't move. He had done small reversion to an earlier mentality, where he was the lowly apprentice, not good enough to be considered equal to his Master...or her daughter. He even kept his head bowed, not looking at Why'nn now. He couldn't...it wasn't his place and he had no right.
 
Why'nn took a deep breath as the comms cut out and when she opened her eyes again, they were their normal golden color. First, she went to Connor. "She really is a bitch, isn't she?" the girl murmured, kneeling to hug him and pull him to a standing position with her. As they stood, she kissed him deeply. She'd seen him like this many a time, and had put him in this position once, herself. "We'll show her your place is by my side as my equal." Moving from Connor to HK-50-01, she embraced the droid and stroked his back. "She's gone now. It's okay. She can't hurt you right now." She wouldn't've mentioned facing the Jedi at all to her Mother, just that they encountered him. "But you need to be strong now. We have to get the Holocron."





Moving from the droid to the comms, she deactivated them... by shoving her saberstaff into the console and turning it on. Replacing her weapon upon her belt, she turned and began walking toward the speeders.

HK-50-01 was altogether proud of himself for answering the query without being addressed directly. Why'nn seemed to be displeased for some reason , but he was sure it had nothing to do with him. This was what she wanted him to do , was it not? Mistess won't be my mistress for much longer.. Why'nn will take me soon. Might as well start getting braver now. He did sorely hope they all


Wouldn't be ordered against the Jedi again , but somehow felt a pang that he could have his Jedi killer tools and finish the job. In fact , he fed himself into this idea.


As he was planning , his metal body was pushed backwards. His eyes went purely to the fearful purple-black color. As he struck the bulkhead of the ship , a groan of pain escaped him. The courage faded almost as if extinguished by being thrown into The Vacuum of Space , and he started shaking on the floor , loudly. All of the rest of Mistress' words were lost to terrified thoughts , thoughts that came with vicious speed. NONONO I'M SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO THOUGHT YOU WERE ADRESSING ME OH PLEASE PLEASE DONT HURT ME MORE MISTRESS PLEASE I'M SORRY PLEASE MERCY!


Luckily , he was saved by Why'nn before he descended into a state of complete submission. The glorious being embraced him and started stroking him , his body slowly cease to shake. Why'nn wouldn't hurt me she loves me even if.. If I answered in her place. She she she loves me too much.. And it's not a trick.. Right? This was thankfully confirmed when she started speaking. If Mistress wasn't going to hurt him , neither would Why'nn. OH THANK YOU THANK YOU! MISTRESS IS GONE OH THANK YOU OH OH I LOVE YOU! At Why'nn's words asking him to be strong , he immediately shifted his mind back to HK-50-01 , History's Greatest Assassin Droid - which he allowed to be true since he HAD been active for longer than any other.


He threw his mind into planning what he wanted to do. Was he still wanting to go after the Jedi? His mission was to protect Why'nn , but.. Capturing the Jedi could help that.. However , if she died in the cave because he wasn't there.. That helped no-one at all. He wieghed all his options , and almost laughed when he came up with it - The Jedi obviously lived near the Cave , if not inside it. So he could complete his self-assigned and his primary objectives in the same trip - if he assumed the Jedi would bother them again. The only trick , of course , was that Why'nn and Connor wouldn't just leave him alone to use his full potential - he would have to find a way around that , somehow.


Running through a second checklist , he found he was sure that they had to have sedatives , a dart thrower , and a neural inhibitor somewhere aboard here. Deciding to voice the query , he spoke in a slightly confident tone. "Query/assurements/apologetics : I aplogize for interrupting you.. Thank you so much for not hurting me.. And thank you for reassuring me there. I.. Don't think I want to do that again anytime soon. Ah.. I have a query. Do we have sedatives and a Neural Inhibitor anywhere around this ship? I.. Want to bring in the Jedi myself. I want to prove to mistress I am not useless. And I want you to stay out of it , if you would.. Do that for me. I can handle myself. I will complete my primary objective , but if I come across this Jedi , I will complete this self-assigned objective as well - and nothing will stop me other than pure disaster. Mistress will see how useful I can be.. Or I'll have to be recovered trying."
 
Acolytes moved to get out of the way as Imperial soldiers marched into the academy. Wearing the standard issue black armor, the only difference in their appearance was that the entire left shoulder of their armor was painted a dark orange. Numbering a solid 20, the soldiers quickly marched up the stairs, and entered the office that Darth Trakus had claimed for himself. The captain of the force, with both shoulders a dark orange, quickly stepped forward, saluting to the Sith in the desk.


"My lord, Drake Squadron reporting as ordered."





Looking the soldiers over quickly, Darth Trakus nodded, before giving them their orders. "Captain, I want 2 men posted outside this office at all times. The rest of your men, distribute them outside the academy. Have them report any suspicious activity."


Nodding, the soldiers quickly filed out of the office, and Darth Trakus leaned back in the chair once more, reading the report he had recieved earlier.
 
Connor let himself be pulled to his feet, though he was still a bit stunned. He listened to the words Why'nn said, even returned the kiss she gave him, but he still felt as though he shouldn't have engaged her in a romantic way. He should have kept his distance rather than letting his guard down. Master would not allow someone as lowly as him to be with her daughter in a romantic fashion, that much he knew. Instead of saying anything, Connor walked over to the console that Why'nn had jammed her lightsaber into and looked it over. He could repair it, and he'd need to in case they needed to call for reinforcements. As he finished assessing the damage, he turned and looked to Why'nn. He was ready to go with her, but his eyes were filled with sadness and a hint of fear. Hoping she didn't notice, he reached down to his belt, grabbed his mask, and placed it on his face, his eyes now covered. Once again, his voice was modulated as he spoke. "Alright...Let's go. HK-50-01, you need to focus first on the task we told you to do. Shut down the shield generator. If the old man shows up, you can only attack him after you've destroyed the shield generator." Though he tried to make his voice sound like its normal self when he was giving orders, it didn't really work. It was a bit less strong than usual, and a little less sure.
