A Hunt for Sanctions

As the droid leaped from the rock, a tactical move Ultimatum noted. The droid was in the air for only a moment before Ultimatum's hand moved almost as fast as sight to grasp the little droid and pull it out of its path. He held it arm's length, if only to stop it from scratching up his facial metal, which was one of the few parts of his body to have had thankfully few damages done over his time alive.

"There we go. Could have hurt itself on the fall." Ultimatum wouldn't have been surprised if the little droid had broken something from that fall, if it had landed instead of Ultimatum catching it. The smaller droids tended to be a little more fragile, which always made it strange when it was the little ones doing the really foolish things. He wondered what the purpose of this droid was, it was too small to be a real combat droid, or so Ultimatum thought. What would it have been doing in this place? Repair work? He didn't know. He looked at [member="Lord Zrixtas"] and asked, "What do you think?"
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas couldn't help but chuckle as the little droid struggled and clawed at [member="Ultimatum"]'s hand as it tried to get free and rip into either of them it seemed. "I'm not sure exactly... we could reprogram it or simply take out it's memory core and get the places layout." He then said as he moved up to his friend and got a better look at the droid. "It seems like a repair droid but it could just as well be a maintenance droid." He said as he looked the droid over and placed his hand to grip his chin a little. It was a curious little thing to be certain but that also begged the question, how many of the psychotic little buggers were around the facility.
 
Ultimatum thought for a moment, "Let's try the reprogramming, we could probably use most of the information this one has perhaps we could have him call whatever others there are of his type and tell them not to attack." There was also the possibility that if they could gain access to the network of maintenance droids or whatever these guys were, they could find out where the inner tombs were and possibly get there just that much faster. At this point speed was not an issue, he hoped it wouldn't become one, but he didn't want to dally either.

Ultimatum moved the little droid in his hand, moving it around until he could get a good look at the droid's back, a common place for a control panel. He decided to try and communicate with the little droid, surely it understood some form of droid speech. He opened his memory files and pulled up the basic droid language of Binary, from there he then repeated in CBell-1, "Droid, this is Ultimatum. I will be powering you down so that I may adjust your programming, if you do not consent and are willing to communicate with us peaceably, I will hold off. If either one is not possible then I will continue, please speak now." A momentary thought popped through his head as he finished and looked at [member="Lord Zrixtas"], he wondered if the droid like lifeform could understand those languages.
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas cocked his head to the side when [member="Ultimatum"] looked at him, his body language conveying "What are you looking at me for?" since he wasn't as well versed in the droid languages as Ultimatum was. Not in the least. The pull he had felt earlier was toying with his mind, wracking it with questions, chief amongst them was what that pull had been in the first place.

The droid, oh that little droid however it did respond to Ultimatum, in fluent binary, but the less said about the profanities it began to spew from the droid the better. It began to struggle even more as it tried to deny Ultimatum the access to it's control panel. It would not be reprogrammed without a fight.
 
Ultimatum closed his eyes for a moment, the onslaught of verbal abuse was surprising, as well as the language which was used. He hadn't heard about a quarter of the words used, either because they were of such vulgarity that it was normally unseemly to have them on the HoloNet, where he obtained most of vocabulary, or that they were no longer words used. Either way, Ultimatum did not enjoy the sound. He cut his translation program and turned his attention to accomplishing his task. He tightened his grip to slow the droid, knowing that he couldn't force it to stop moving without risking breaking the metal. He attempted twice before he hit the opening panel, from there he had to slip a finger in and hit the deactivate. That was one of the advantages the little droid had, it was difficult to get in there while the bugger kept squirming. However Ultimatum soon got it, clicking the deactivation switch, which would shut down the droid.

From there Ultimatum knelt and put the droid on the ground, he spoke in galactic basic now, "There, the hard part is over." He pulled out a connector from his internal systems and hooked it up with the smaller droid, it was additional proof that this droid was probably from the Old Republic era or sooner. His mind automatically changed to 'see' the programs of the other droid. He could now manipulate them with impunity, except he chose to be careful. If this were a true enemy droid, he could wreak havoc by adding and subtracting code, or even erase entire portions. However, this droid was not an enemy and required a gentle prodding around, so to say, until he could identify the part he was looking for. He surfaced from the programming for a moment, "This may take a minute, might want to get comfortable, or maybe explore a little if you so please."

His physical visual receptors shut down to help further focus his work on the droid, in fact all but his audio sensors and his ambient scanners shut down for this purpose. He slipped back into the work at hand, sure that [member="Lord Zrixtas"] would make the right decision in regards to what he wanted to do. He trusted the near-droid to handle himself in such a way as to not put everything at risk. He wondered offhandedly if the feeling that had drawn them this way had returned. He didn't mind if Zrixtas wanted to venture on a bit, though he was a little too busy to communicate that at the moment.

--------------------------------

The rogue Rakata had been dealt with, fortunately he had decided to opt for a peaceful surrender. It was strange how the ones who the system the best were the quickest to surrender to it, the computer thought. Its mind, or the closest it had to it, was hazy still, the pain had not subsided much and he was therefore having difficulty making proper decisions. He noticed that the two intruders had made their way to the entrance into the deeper prison, or to the containment facility for the remaining Sith. It was surprising that the Empire of old had not saved all the Sith trapped here, of course that was an impossible task, so long as there had been a Republic presence on the planet.

Just like his task. He had all the information he needed to run the prison. He had millennia of data and information compiled in his extensive memory banks through which he could learn how to handle nearly any situation. However, he was meant as a warden, not security. He was built to worry about maintaining the prison and upholding order within the metal walls. He hadn't been built with the concern of others trying to break in. During the Infinite Empire there had been no fear of someone trying to break his friends out of this prison, as the only people who could hope to bypass the defenses, or even get on planet, were all Rakata. The problem was that the rules had changed. He was no longer simply charged with keeping people in, but also keeping others out. The Builders had not gone so far as prepare for that eventuality and now he was trapped within a quandary that required him to succeed yet at the same time did not allow him to.

There lied the crux of the issue. As with most droids given a mission, the computer had a task and the parameters within that task were too restrictive to actually allow him to succeed. Thus, his mind began trying to solve the problem, which required him to break the parameters. This led to the computer's mind beginning to break as it realized just how limited it actually was. The computer had safety features of course, the first of which was a simple reboot. Before it was activated, the computer sent a command to a pair of ancient droids to keep the intruders in sight. Specifically he sent an armored droid to be visible follower, the intruders would know that they were being followed by that droid, and a warden droid, which would stay hidden and avoid detection as best as possible, hopefully to keep an eye on the intruders. Those two droids would reach surveillance distance in a few minutes, as they used the transportation stations to get closer to their quarry.
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas couldn't help but chuckle at [member="Ultimatum"], even making sure he remembered a few of those curse words the droid spouted. Once his companion was deep at work Zrixtas decided to look around their perimeter a bit as he looked around. He saw an entrance after he had surveyed the enviroment around them. With a slight glance behind him at Ultimatum Zrixtas decided to enter the entrance, slowly walking down into it's depths.
A few more of the scrappy little buggers came at him and he simply had to wave his hand or make a fist at a few of them to either throw them telekinetically against a wall of force crushing them, right then and there. He seemed like it was boring to him, given his body posture but in fact he was having quite a bit of fun throwing and crushing the little psychos around for his own amusement. He then arrived at a large hall flanked on either side with stasis pods, containing what seemed like ancient siths of a long forgotten age. This intrigued him immensely as he looked the sith over, but he wouldn't release them since he didn't have the confidence to do so.
He approached one of the Stasis pods and peered a bit more inside it, seeing a young sith dressed in some sort of armored robes, he couldn't determine race or sex as he looked inside and then turned away to look at the others. "Why did they get left behind?" He asked himself as he walked along the corridor to see were it's end would be.
 
Ultimatum finished up a few minutes later, there wasn't too much difficulty with the reprogram. He didn't reactivate the droid yet, deciding to wait until he found [member="Lord Zrixtas"]. He stood up and looked around, the plant life was enough to cause trouble in tracking. He decided to try his active electrical 'sonar' equipment. It was a sophisticated system that would send out a very specific wave of electrical energy. This would only be bounced back by excess electrical power, usually associated with electrical equipment of almost any variety. It was also a very powerful pulse, being easy to detect by those that it is supposed to find.

Ultimatum sent out the wave and monitored the system as it expanded out. There, a droid nearby. Too big, Ultimatum thought for a moment. It was about his height, but bulkier, if that were possible. His first thought was... war droid. Ultimatum waited a moment longer before seeing a large collection of electrical signals in a cave nearby. He raced that way, carrying the little droid as gently as he could. The cave seemed pretty extensive.

He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the stasis chambers. He didn't recognize them, except that they were probably still alive. He called out, "Zrixtas, are you here?"

------------------------

There was a time when all this would have been handled by a massive computer, truly enormous. The comparatively small one that ran the prison would have had nothing compared to the might of its larger brothers. In fact, the computer that ran this prison was not meant to run the whole prison for its entire life. There were many like computers that would accomplish the same job as older ones wore out. It was interesting that the Rakata had gone for this method instead of building a single computer that wouldn't wear out.

The computer currently in control was awakening from its reboot. It felt refreshed and calmed down by it. It was no longer getting emotional, instead it looked at the information and decided that the situation warranted emergency procedures. This was a decision that the computer would normally not be capable of making, it would be the Builder's choice, but the computer decided that it would have to make all the decisions from now on.

It started by recalling the war droid and the warden. No need to show his hand at this point. He activated one of the Old Republic cameras in the Sith cells and looked through. The image was subpar, damaged over years of time. He was able to make out a decent sized droid entering the area as well as what looked like the Sith droid. He wondered if they wanted to release the Sith. The Sith droid was looking at one pretty intently. The computer pulled up the Republic file on that Sith.

Cathar
Female

Right there that was interesting, the computer knew little about these Sith but from what he had seen they were mostly male humans.
The computer began skimming through the rest of the data.

-Considered dangerous after taking down a Republic commando squad on Ilum. Was taken prisoner by a duo of Jedi knights.-
-Apparently a Sith with a lot reputation in the Empire, they were willing to trade prisoners for her-
-Imprisoned until a proper debrief could be achieved-

Well, the computer decided there was no harm in helping those two intruders with their goal, maybe they would leave and not come back after they got their Sith. With that it deactivated the stasis field on that Sith. He watched through the camera as the beginning of the process, the power shutting down the chamber, commenced.
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas had reached the end, which seemed like a weapons storage locker filling up the wall. He was about to try and open the thing but then he heard [member="Ultimatum"] call from the beginning of the corridor and he turned around and began to walk towards his friend. As he was about to come to his friend, he stopped as he was near the suddenly opening stasis pod. "I suggest you get down here!" He shouted back as he saw the female suddenly fall out of the stasis pod, moving up to stare down at her as his hood made his face only seem like a pair of red glowing eyes staring down at her.
"Who are you?" He simply asked her, his voice raspy and metallic as he wondered about what her power was and why she was suddenly released. 'Whatever is controlling this damn place might be what released her but what is it's reason for that?' He thought as he leaned down and tapped his finger against the cathar females shoulder.
 
Ultimatum dropped quickly to a half kneeling position, raising his blaster to track the Cathar as he fell to the floor. He stopped for a moment and pulled the cartridge out of his blaster and replaced it with a different one. If he had to fire, it wouldn't be lethal. He too was wondering why the computer controlling this place was releasing a prisoner. Was it faulty? Had it decided to use this Sith as a diversion? Ultimatum thought about that as he spoke, "What happened? Is it dangerous?" He was too far away to see the gender, species, or even the fact that she was a Sith.

He kept his sole focus on the body as it moved slightly. He didn't know if it was dangerous and decided not to take a chance, hence keeping his pistol aimed carefully. A single dart from the gun would knock out an organic quickly and for at least an hour. He didn't want to have to use it, after all he had relatively few of the darts on hand and had to use them sparingly.

-----------------------------------

Her name was Hurannes. That was her first name. She had long ago severed herself from her family, they had been weak and incapable of loving her as much the Sith who taught her and trained her. She had been important to the them, if only because of her potential strength and her loyalty to the Emperor. Even so, either she had been in the wrong area or had not been too important, for now she was left behind. She didn't know the time, she didn't feel the touch on her shoulder. She felt horrible. It was as if all her pain receptors were firing off at the same time. On top of that she felt so incredibly nauseous. She was able to move her hand across the metal floor, thanking the Emperor that it was real.

She groaned outwardly, her body still adjusting from its time in stasis, while internally her mind was screaming from the pain her body was telling her it was in. She didn't know that she had been left behind. She knew of her hate for the Republic, but she didn't think about that right now. Her mind was solely on her own suffering and trying to quell the sense of throwing up. She didn't know that it was all temporary, it would last only a few minutes, which to her would feel like an eternity.

---------------------------------

Those people in the stasis chamber must be a pretty weak breed to be so badly affected by the suspended animation, the computer thought to itself. It could remember the history of the Rakata, that they had had every species as a slave at one point. He wondered how these weak beings could be of any use other than entertainment. Of course, he was just a computer and couldn't be expected to understand everything about them.

Feeling clever in giving the intruders what they wanted the computer began focusing on other problems. A number of the doors to the inner vaults were slightly broken and would need sealing. He would have to dispatch teams of droids to either kill what has escaped or capture. It was a daunting task, but one the computer worked on without worry, it was his job and he would get it done.

[member="Lord Zrixtas"]
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas looked up at [member="Ultimatum"] as he approached and then looked down, moving one hand up to rest it's elbow against his knee and the palm against the outline of his jawline. "It's not dangerous.. or rather She isn't dangerous, You know how organics are after coming out of extended stasis." He said to his friend as his optic sensors moved from Ultimatum down to Hurannes.
This time as he touched her shoulder, he sent into her body a slight jolt of the force, both to gauge her power and to see if she'd respond to it at all. Then he focused the force into his vocal processor to make his voice ring out in the force, but it added a darker feeling and sound to it as well. "The empire of the sith had fallen, Your emperor had been dead for over four millennium. Rise and tell me of who you were and what your rank was within the sith." He said as he made sure he exerted the entirety of his force signature, to show his own power to the Cathar.
 
Ultimatum smiled a little after [member="Lord Zrixtas"] spoke to the Sith. He spoke quietly so as not to be heard, "Neat trick. Must be good for calming down a crowd." He turned around and faced the entrance, letting his compatriot deal with the newcomer. He figured that there could be any number of enemies out there. He put himself in a half kneeling position and began pulling out a few of his blaster packs for his pistol, keeping it loaded with darts for now, if needed he could switch at a later point, but he had to be ready. He found it strange that the droid he had seen had just off and disappeared. Surely it saw him? Where else could it have gone?

-------------------------------------

Hurannes was at first unaware of anything, but then she felt the sudden strength of a Force user speaking. It was powerful, more so than she felt at the moment. She pulled one hand under her to try and push herself up, but her hand simply slipped out and over the floor. She coughed once before trying to pull herself up again. This time her hand collected enough friction and she was able to slowly push herself up with first one and then both hands. This must be it, this must be her rescue! That was the thought that filled her until her mind truly began working through the statements made towards her.

That wasn't possible. The Emperor couldn't just have died. As most Sith, Hurannes had been taught that the Emperor was all powerful and incapable of dying, but as with most Sith she had not completely believed it, planning her own ascension to power. Without realizing, she had come to believe it in a subconscious sense, though, and it had become a cornerstone of her life within the Sith. Even if she had died all those years ago, she would have died knowing that the Emperor and therefore the Empire would continue. But, all that was taken from her in a single moment.

Well, not completely taken from her, she didn't choose to believe it yet. She wondered if this were some Jedi and Republic trick. Trying to turn her back to the light, she pulled her legs under her and stayed on all fours for a moment. Well, if she were going to die now, then let it be with the dignity that was part of being Sith. Her body rebelled against the idea of standing, so much so that she threw up. She tasted the bitter burning of the remaining stomach acid. The pain she felt in that moment hardened her will. She forced herself to her feet, over the course of a minute. When at last she stood wobbly on two legs, she finally looked at the person in front of her. It was a droid?! How could that be? Where was the Jedi? Where were the guards? Where were the Republic insignia blazoned on every available surface? Was this all a trick? Damn them all! If she were going to die at least let it be with honor!

Her mind screamed out, but her voice came out as a painful croak, "Where are you? What is this?" She looked around slowly, as quickly as her aching head would allow. She sought the voice, she sought the robed figure of a Jedi, or perhaps a traitor Sith.
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas would smirk at [member="Ultimatum"] if he could as his friend spoke to him, giving a head bobbing from side to side and an open hand swiveling a little as a "Kinda does" Gesture to him.
As the sith puked, Zrixtas stood up and took a step back. 'Of course she has to puke.' He thought as he felt displeasure at the sight of it, and a bit glad he couldn't do it himself either. Grossing his arms he waited for the girl to stand up and get her bearings but then she asked out into the air like he wasn't even there. "I'm right here and you tell me as you were just released without intervention." He said dryly as he walked around the puke stain and looked at her, making his optic scanners wirr as he looked over her in every light spectrum there was and then back to the normal one, once again.
In his mind he wanted to grip the woman's throat and hold her against the wall to show her he was in charge but he didn't really think that would help in the situation at all so he simply moved his hand down against his side and tapped one of the two lightsabers at his hip.
 
Ultimatum wondered what [member="Lord Zrixtas"] was thinking at that moment. Was he feeling compassion for this lost Sith? Yes, Ultimatum was not one to cry for the death of a Sith, they were part of the reason for his creation and his master's twistedness. But he did feel sorry for the woman. She was out of her depth, she didn't know what was going on and if her throwing up was any indication she was probably feeling absolutely horrible at the moment. It was a minor feeling, but it was there none the less. Though he decided that it was Zrixtas' decision how to deal with a fellow Sith.

--------------------------------

The droid spoke. Could it be telling the truth? It didn't seem possible. But what would have been the point to the trick? Her mind was still foggy from the pain and was now even more so due to the realization of what was happening. Everything she had known was gone? Were the Sith still here? Were there any left? What of the Republic? She ordered herself to stay strong in the face of everything being torn from her. She closed her eyes for a moment and focused herself on the anger that was welling up within her.

"My name is Hurannes, I am a Knight of the Sith Empire. What are you?" She decided to allow the droid this single victory, but a droid couldn't use the Force, she could. She was going to wait, but when she was once more strong she would lash out. Not now, she would wait. She would have to wait. There were two of them, and while they were both obviously no match to the Force she didn't want to chance one hurting her.

That was when a thought arrived that made her question the judgment. She looked somewhat worriedly around, where was the Force user?
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas looked up at [member="Ultimatum"] and then back to Hurannes as he crossed his arms. He could see she was looking around for the force signature she had felt and decided against letting her know it was actually her, figuring she'd get it eventually. "You are looking for the sith accompanying us aren't you?" He said, his tone a little mocking as he pointed his hand in a weak gesture towards the end of the tunnel where they had come into it from.
"We came here looking for intel on another droid, or AI inside a droid rather. Have you seen anything like that here before you were placed in stasis?" He then asked her as he gestured toward Ultimatum to come closer and hopefully explain a little better what they were looking for, he didn't truly understand it either.
 
Ultimatum looked once more before walking over to the group. "He is correct. We are looking for an AI that probably controlled part of the prison defenses. What have you seen of this place?"

He watched the Sith closely, still not completely certain that she was as weak as she appeared to be. He had seen that Sith were powerful, so he was a bit concerned when one appeared to be weakened. He knew that a hurt, cornered animal, would fight much harder than one that was in good health in the open.

---------------------------------------

Hurannes shook her head. She hadn't been here long, at least aside from her time in stasis. The Republic had held a trial offworld and then shipped her here with a lot of other prisoners. She was separated from the rest and put in stasis. She had not been able to learn much about this place, other than it was a Republic prison planet.

"No, I only saw a few droids and they were just Republic guards." She snarled a little as she spoke, beginning to get the feeling that she was being looked down upon. She was not one who enjoyed being demeaned, but she still felt weak from the stasis and wasn't able to act. Her headache was beginning to subside and the pain in her body was as well. She looked around once more before deciding that there was no Sith in this room. She wondered though why she still felt the presence, it simply could not be a droid. There was no such thing as a Force wielding droid. But then, these were strange droids, she had never met ones that acted in this manner. Were they perhaps cyborgs? No, she didn't feel any living matter within them. Still that one droid, the shorter of the two, seemed to emanate the Force. Perhaps it had a relic inside of it or something. She would have to find out, "Are, are you Force sensitive? Do you have something in you?"

------------------------------------

Ultimatum looked towards [member="Lord Zrixtas"] and smiled before looking away. He would have laughed to himself, but for politeness to an organic who was obviously disoriented and at a definite disadvantage. He stayed quiet, it was Zrixtas' decision how to handle his own affairs, not Ultimatum's.
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas stared at [member="Ultimatum"], as if he was saying "You might have as well laughed" without any words, his look said it all. The woman... the sith seemed to be getting wise to his ruse and he cocked his head nonchalantly to the side. "I have a crystal in my chest as my core that should tell you plenty." He said as his ocular sensors narrowed into two small dots of red optics that were menacing as he moved his eyes from Ultimatum towards Hurannes. His hood as he fully stood now, his arms crossed around his chest, his face was obscured leaving only his eyes and the "mouth" of his face glowing faintly in red against the black.
"Hurannes if you wish you can follow us as we search for what we wanted to get out of this... lovely establishment as it were and then I can drop you off wherever you wish." Zrixtas then said to the woman as his optics expanded to their normal once again. This was a game of Dejarik to him, this was the state of mind he usually was in when dealing with anyone he didn't consider a friend. Maneuvering others into positions and places he needed them to be was a new concept to him and he wasn't as good as he'd like to be but practice didn't hurt.
 
Ultimatum smiled, that was an amusing way of putting it. He found it funny. He turned around again, seeing nothing he turned back. He knew he had seen a droid, a big one too. He wondered where it was, it should have seen him, but it hadn't followed him. In a way that concerned him more than if it had followed.

--------------------------------

Hurannes nodded, she wanted off this planet as much any other prisoner. She wondered if they kill her, but she would prove stronger than them, after all they were droids. Even a crystal inside the droid wouldn't save it. Perhaps she could get the crystal and use it for a new lightsaber. The Jedi had take hers and she didn't know where it was. But she could help, she was certain that they would like help from a Force user. She would make them see her as helpful and then perhaps they will let her leave. She looked forward to this new galaxy. In a way, it was an opening that she intended on taking advantage of. Maybe she could become the Emperor.

[member="Lord Zrixtas"]
 

Lord Zrixtas

Even should this body fail, you won't stop me
Zrixtas would smirk at her if he could when she bought his explanation. "So then shall we leave now? We should go for the other entrance we saw, this one leads to a dead end a few meters down the shaft." He then said, hiding the fact he had found a weapons storage, most likely for the weapons of the prisoners from Hurannes. Perhaps later he'd go back and look through it for a pair he'd like to take back for himself later... if time allowed that was.
Moving up to a wall he pulled out a large pipe from the wall next to Hurannes's stasis pod and handed it to her. "Should be better than nothing for now." He said as he then gestured for all of them to leave the tunnel.

[member="Ultimatum"]
 
Ultimatum nodded as he turned and walked out the tunnel. He waited outside, looking for possible enemies. His sensors showed nothing nearby. That of course didn't meant that there was nothing, it simply met he couldn't pick up anything. That concerned him more than seeing something, it made him wonder if he was missing something. He aimed his gun up and down the area as he moved.

--------------------

Hurannes took the pipe, grimacing as she did so. She would have much preferred her lightsaber, "Have you not seen my weapon?" She wondered where the Jedi had put her saber. Of course she wanted her weapon so that she could fight better, and perhaps defend herself against these two droids or destroy them. Of course, she could deal with the current weapon, she had the Force. Unlike the droids she had the advantage. She walked towards the exit, following the much quieter droid. She still a felt a bit weak from her body recovering from stasis, but her strength was returning. She could sense more now, the strength of the Dark Side in that cave, probably because of the Sith that were trapped within. She could sense the world outside, the plants, but there appeared to be no animals. She wondered once more how long she had truly been in stasis.

"How long did you say I was in stasis?" She directed her question at [member="Lord Zrixtas"], also unsure of Ultimatum's role in all this. She guessed that he was merely a pawn that belonged to the other droid. The smaller one seemed very intelligent, where as the larger one appeared to be simply a carrier for information.

------------------------

Ultimatum spoke quietly enough so as his voice didn't carry too far, "I will go ahead, I think the other cave nearby could lead us furthe-" He looked down for a moment, realizing he had dropped the small droid at some point, he looked around and perceived it nearby on the ground. He moved quickly to pick it up and reactivate the small droid. He held it in his hand and watched to see how it would respond as it awoke from its decent slumber.


---------------------------

At last the job was done, he had everything contained that had concerned him. There were a few other beasts still running around, but they were inconsequential and could easily be exterminated or recollected as he deemed necessary. Now, back to those intruders.

The Sith he had released appears to have become part of their group eh. Now they wish to continue their trek inwards? Why? What could they be searching for? What could possibly be of value to them?

Ah of course. The long dead makers, the technology they left behind, or even perhaps one of the creatures themselves. Well, they would learn soon enough that there was much to fear by testing his resolve. They would not release any of his prisoners or steal anything of value. This was his domain. With the makers gone he was the ultimate ruler of this prison. He made the decisions and he would enforce them with all the might that the makers had left him and the Old Republic too. Even now the power was intoxicating.

The computer activated the lowest security systems it could find, no need to become too drastic. If he were to activate everything at once he could lock his own ability to maneuver. More of the ancient Republic droids, almost every single one in bad condition in one way or another, began to reawaken.
