Private Breaking A Sweat

  • Thread starter Darth Malevolum
  • Start date
She was like a coy cat that got the milk. And Void was uncertain how to react. But when she had mentioned a previous Master and a plotting of perhaps a downfall of another Sith, this peaked Void's interest. Void was glad she wore her mask, because she felt the scrutiny of the other woman quite well. Void was not showing her cards. Only her right thumb occasionally scratching at a loose end of the bandage over the side of her index finger was the only give away perhaps. "So you need my help." she simply responded.

"I also thought that you might have something to say to me in private, perhaps a proposition of sorts? If what your droid said is true, I have reason to believe I interest you in some facet, and I might play to an agenda you have in mind." Darth Void followed her gaze back to the droid "If it is okay with you, I had asked that HV upgrade my implants, given he has already seen them, and truth be told I do not trust my crew to see me in such a venerable state. I'm sure you understand." What did the blasted droid say to her on their way here? Wondered Void. There was no awful agenda behind her interest though. The droid had stayed at her service for some time since the death of its previous Master. Sentimentality was a lack for a better word used for Void in keeping the thing around truth be told. That and well, the droid did manage to get the Sith out of very dicey situations. At the sight of her smile, Void wondered if she was toying with her. Void wasn't sure if she could trust her.. entirely. Yes, she was Sith too but the possibility of the other Darth using her for her own gains only to attempt at her life - the thought was at the forefront. Several have tried in fact in the past, and it would be HV cleaning up the mess from her ship. If Malevolum only knew how much blood had been shed here. It's true, Malevolum did peak her interest, the Sith hasn't met a cyborg with so many human qualities. Maybe in time, Void would be able to discover more.

When Void didn't immediately answer as she contemplated what to say next, the other woman crossed her arms over her chest. Malevolum's jawplate was no longer in place. It probably made her feel vulnerable. The memory of Malevolum laying there bloodied and unconscious with pieces of the plate in her hands flashed in her mind. A few moments later and Malevolum surely would have been dead. But there she was standing in front of her, features unmarred except for her old scars. "If I'm asking too much of your time, I understand, but given how I owe you for your past deed today, I think this would be a step towards making ourselves equal." Time was all Void had when she hunted Jedi, it was a meticulous cat and mouse game. Maybe Malevolum could help her as well. That is, if she didn't try to kill her in the process. Void trusted no one. When she took a step towards Void, the masked Sith raised her head finally answering "Very well. Welcome to the Grey Ghost, Darth Malevolum." The ramp below shut, several yellow lights blinked at the cockpit signalling readiness for departure. Void remained behind her icy walls still, her body ached and she needed to rest in her bacta tank that the Sith had HV install on the ship.

"Please, allow me to show you to your quarters Lord Malevolum." Piped up the droid leading the other woman towards the crew quarters. Void watched them leave.

There were 5 separate quarters, HV led her to the second one on the left. "You will find all that you require Lord Malevolum, hopefully to your needs." stated the droid before it reached into a closet space retrieving a brand new set of robes for the other Sith to change into should she feel inclined. "When you are ready, please allow me to complete your implants and reinstall your jawplate." The droid raised it's arm, a small screen came up from the skeletal forearm "On behalf of Lord Void, I took the liberty of ordering the necessary parts for your upgrades." the droid exited the room "My apologies for my Lord's hospitality. She rarely has guests. A course has been set for Littora ." The planet exported tons of Quadrenium and Durelium used in starship components and utilized for plating of armor as well. The screen closed shut and the droid bowed once before leaving Darth Malevolum to her own devices.

Standing at the helm of the cockpit, Void donned her armor once more which had been repaired by HV while she lay in the bacta tank. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she stared out into the cold dead space. HV could be found in the medical bay using holonet resources to design a replica of the jawplate. Whatever lay ahead of them, it was still unknown. But Void would see it through, her thoughts wandered back to Malevolum, did she really need her help or was she playing the Darth? Whatever the reason, all will come in due time in their next adventure.

As she suspected, she couldn't get a read on Void. How unfortunate. "Something like that, more of a precaution given I won't be at my full strength." Malevolum had to fight with herself not to take offense to the statement, knowing that Void was...perhaps just being curt about this whole affair. She didn't believe Void had a sinister plot in mind, but she did want to know why the Darth had spent hours watching her, let alone left her droid to operate on her. It wasn't typical Sith behavior, it was the sort of thing you did to protect an asset; and they hardly even knew each other.

One thing was true however, without her jaw plate, Malevolum felt very vulnerable, and the best she could do was put on a front and hope no one saw through it. As she stood there, waiting for a response of the woman, Malevolum hadn't expected Void to take her onboard her own ship. As the ramp shut behind her, the Darth threw a quick glance back, before accepting that this was how things were to proceed. Still, there was just something about Void that she couldn't shake, something that prodded Malevolum's curiosity onwards. She was rather accepting of this whole thing, and yet she wasn't sure why. The proposition to go after her old master had just been a gamble, and to her surprise Void had just accepted it. As HV offered to take Malevolum to her quaters, the Darth stood there for a moment, looking to Void, before she conceded. "Thank you. We will speak again later." She remarked, before following the droid, wondering what information she could pull out of the droid.

The room that she was assigned reminded her of the old freighter she had during her jedi years; oh how she missed that thing. She glanced to the robes that HV laid out for her, and politely declined them. "I appreciate the gesture, but I must decline the robes. I'll accept the implants when you are ready." The Darth tested one of the beds, sighing as she was going to have to get used to it. "Your master is interesting to me. I wish to know more about her, if it's within your programing." Here was her chance to prob, or rather she would have her time to in the future. As Void took the helm, and HV took to fashioning a replacement for her jaw, Malevolum sat in the crew quarters, gazing up at the ceiling, as she pondered where this course would take her, and the nature of the Darth who was coming along with her.
