A Chance Encounter

[Crentice]

Coruscant. A planet of politicians, civilians, and scum. The One Sith currently controls this planet, leaving troops stationed to ensure there is no uprisings. Among these, are the newly established Shadow Guard unit. There are only three of these on the entire planet. Unit commanding officer is ST-0001. He was patrolling the streets of the massive city. Tall buildings, hundreds of advertisements, and speeders constantly flying through the atmosphere, making for constant humming noises. He approached ST-0002, and ST-0003. "I got word of where you two are to be posted. There is an old, unused building just south of the political district. Go there and stand watch. He is there. Make sure only Sith gain entry. I will be there shortly."

ST-0001 left them to their duties and continued roaming the streets. Coruscant was larger than he expected. And found it out to be a hub where races from across the galaxy gathered around to party, hire mercenaries, or even visit. One thing was for certain. Coruscant didn't allow a moments rest to mere visitors with all of the attractions and sights to see. ST-0001 then began to head to where his post was stationed and awaited further orders.

Oderis found himself in Coruscant, the bustling Sith city. He had never been to this planet before, and did not know what to expect. As he walked around the city streets, he observed the many people zooming by him. His survival instincts told him to stay low and hidden, so Oderis pulled up his hood and walked slowly.

As Oderis walked past the casino, he happened to notice a trooper in black armor with the Sith logo on his shoulder. With a slight smirk, Oderis turned to the trooper and asked, "so, you're with the One Sith I see. I can tell you're some kind of guard. Tell me.. who are you assigned to?"

ST-0001 was shocked at the man who approached him. After all, the planet was full of people who were Jedi supporters. It was also no secret that the Sith currently occupied Coruscant, and there were Sith on the planet. ST-0001 assumed this man was as such. He leaped back and activated his saber staff. "Who are you? And why are you asking questions about the Sith occupation?" All the civilians around the two backed away from the guard and the person he was talking to. ST-0001 was not about to let someone talk him into seeing his commander without having proof they were affiliated with the One Sith, for he refused to jeopardize his commander's life for someone who could potentially be an enemy.

ST-0001 was hoping to have a peaceful walk to the hideout, but this person had interrupted that hope before he had even made it halfway there. If this person could prove they were a member of The One Sith, then he would tell him all the information he wanted to know. Until then, he would remain keeping his blade aimed at the stranger.

Oderis stood calmly as the guard's saber rose to his face. "Calm down, we're on the same side here," Oderis slowly raised his lightsaber to show the guard. "See? I'm a fellow Sith." He then raised his cloak back from his chest to reveal a One Sith medal hanging on the corner of his chest plate.

"I only wish to meet the clearly important fellow you are protecting. I assume he is important, correct? Why else would you be tasked to guard him?" Oderis calmly analyzed the guard's saber staff as he awaits his response.

ST-0001 stood there for a second, analyzing the person who stood before him. He seen the red lightsaber emerge before him, an also noticed the emblem of The One Sith on his armor. "What is your name and rank then?" ST-0001 said to the stranger. He held up his wrist and pressed a button. "We have someone who might be a Sith who wants to meet him. Inform him immediately." ST-0001 got his response and kept his blade up awaiting an answer from the person in front of him. He wanted their commander to be fully informed of anyone for his own safety.

Coruscant was beginning to turn dark out. Which was a sign that any criminals would be coming out soon. Something that the guards wanted to avoid dealing with as various criminal organizations were known to be on Coruscant. Organizations that if you kill one of them, the rest will come after you for revenge. Which led to ST-0001 to be a little extra tense. "And if you could please speed it up, that would great."

"I go by the name of Oderis, one of the few remaining Sith Purebloods in the galaxy. I am of true Sith blood," Oderis puts his lightsaber back onto his utility belt tucked underneath his dark cloak. "My current rank is Acolyte, however those who have sparred with me hold me at high standards. I never fail to impress." After a short moment, Oderis started to look around slowly, noticing that it was in fact growing darker, and thus more dangerous in the city.

"I wish to continue this conversation with your superior, if you do not mind. I too have places I must be, just as you must."

ST-0001 looked at [member="Oderis"] in front of him, shrugging off most of his doubts, but still remaining suspicious, for the commander's sake. "Very well, if you would please follow me. I will take you to him." The guard deactivated his saber staff and lifted up his comm device. "Guards, inform him the name of the person is Sith Acolyte, Oderis. I am escorting him to the hideout." ST-0001 turned around and began walking in uniform to the hideout the commander had been using. As he walked, he motioned for Oderis to follow him. ST-0001's comm began buzzing, and he answered, "What is it?" ST-0001 responded. "Yes sir. Will do sir." ST-0001 looked at Oderis and said, "You have clearance to visit the commander."

As the two were walking down the streets of Coruscants, they noticed more people who could have easily been considered criminals. Once the two got away from the political district, the buildings became more and more run down. They came across a building which looked somewhat better than the rest, with two other Shadow Guards standing by the door. "We're here" The two went inside.

 

[Oderis]

Oderis followed this guard to their main command building in the district. "So, this must be where your commander is held up at? It's about time we meet face to face." Oderis looks toward the guard briefly before entering the room, "I sense that we will be seeing each other again in the future, but hopefully on the battlefield slaying Jedi. Good day, trooper." he says, as he walks inside the building to meet the commander.

 

[Crentice]

ST-0001 looked at the Sith before him. He also got a feeling through the force that he would be seeing him again. ST-0001 replied, "Very good, sir. I look forward to our next meeting." The guard then continued to take his position as he was previously ordered. He stood there, staring into the darkness off Coruscant. The time that the criminal underworld would emerge. All of the buildings were lit up brightly due to all of the lights along them. Noise was still relatively loud from all of the nearby bars and restaurants. Looking at the sky, speeders still zoomed through the skies in a long line of traffic. ST-0001 would be waiting at his post until his commander was ordered otherwise, so at the very least until [member="Oderis"] left the hideout. Potentially longer depending on if they had plans on leaving any time soon.

ST-0001 felt that the way the Oderis approached him as such wasn't appropriate, but he couldn't do anything about it. The dark side was in the young Sith however, and that much he found as they were walking here. ST-0001 thought that within time, he might make a good team mate for his commander. He himself still wanted to train, but, not everything is as convenient as you want it to be.
