Corporate Warfare (TSC)

[Fasalin]

Ilarst descended a flight of stairs, with Z-1 following him awkwardly. He then proceeded to walk briskly through the subway system until coming to a heavy steel door. He pulled out a small device from inside his robes and clicked it.

He was confronted by exactly what he'd expected to see: a small room filled with several control panels. Inside were four Espos operators and ten very dangerous looking battle droids. He stood there patiently while waiting for the Epsos to notice him. After a second or two a droid saw him, and would have looked surprised if it could.

INTRUDER ALERT! it said. The Espos turned around, and with a flurry of yells and curses, they whipped out their blasters, while the droids turned calmly and trained their much more dangerous blaster rifles on Ilrast.

"Oi!" said one of the Espos. "How did you get in here?"

"I'm here on the authority of Captain Varthun." said Assadar, much to the surprise of the Espos. "Droids," he continued,. "These Espos are all traitors. Arrest them." and with that, he pressed another button on the device, which happened to contain its previous owner's security codes.

Without any hesitation, the droids turned their guns on the Espos.

Drop your weapons. Place your hands above your head. Said the commander.

"What?" yelled one of the Espos, as two of his comrades turned their weapons on the droids. "How did you-"

I repeat, drop your weapons. The droid said again. His tone was exactly the same, but that somehow made it even more unnerving. Droids had no inhibitions about pulling the trigger. One by one, the Espos placed their weapons on the floor and raised their hands, not taking their eyes off the droids. Immediately, one droid walked forwards to take the blasters--he then proceeded to stow them in a locker. Assadar scanned the room and saw what was clearly the cell.

"You." said Assadar, turning to the commander. "Secure the prisoners in that cell and confiscate any communication devices, then have your troops lock down all entrances to this station." The commander issued the appropriate commands. Four droids stepped forward, and searched the prisoners--two holo-communicators were taken. Then, grabbing the Epsos, they dragged them over to the cell. The Espos were thrown bodily into the small room. One of the droids walked up to a panel on the wall and pressed a button, and immediately a large metal door closed off the room. The droids then moved off.

Assadar sat down at the center console with an immense feeling of satisfaction. "Z-1." he said, turning to his faithful droid. "Plug yourself into the computer. Alert me of any activity." Taking a deep breath, the Sith then got to work. "Here goes nothing." he muttered. He thought for a few seconds, then proceeded to scramble the feedback for the surveillance devices, making it look like the information from one device was coming from another, but also making it seem like a malfunction. He activated his communicator.

"Alright, I'm in." he said to Kentarch--it had been five minutes since the Sith Lord had ordered him to take the place. "They don't know it yet, though, but if I deactivated all surveillance they would--so instead I've scrambled the feedback so it makes you look like you're in a different location to where you are. It'll only work, though, if you can get away from anybody who can see you now as quickly as possible."

 

[Dalansa]

Dalansa stepped in behind @[member="Darth Kentarch"], her hand slowly reaching back towards her hidden sword. As she stepped out, the blade snapped free of its sheath, and she held the steel weapon in a backward grip. Her other hand came up, pulled the other edge out, and snapped the hilts together. Her weapon readied, the Offshoot shifted the weapon to one hand. The anger she had kept for so long, her pain of all those years, she could feel it. It burned, a fire inside her, begging her to let it loose. But she couldn't. Not yet. She needed to control the flame before she used it. And she didn't know what would happen if she did.

If @[member="Assadar Ilrast"] dropped the security systems soon, she may just find out.

 

[Darth Kentarch]

Through the force Darth Kentarch feel the security systems go down. He also could feel the initial shock and confusion from the CSA Security Police as they begun to scramble to fix things. The Sith Lord quickly moved down one of the hallways and taped his communicator connecting him to @[member="Assadar Ilrast"]. “How long before the Espos make you?” He questioned the Sith Acolyte. Peeking around a corner then back at @[member="Dalansa"] he gave her the nod to be ready. He could sense the hatred brewing in her heart, soon enough she would be able to unleash it on the CSA’s goons.

“Focus your hate.” He said moving down another hall with her in tow. “It will give you focus and strength.” He stated. Despite being a mission Kentarch needed to ensure that the new generation of Sith were capable of using their powers. It was a difficult balance between the urgency of the operation and the growth of these acolyte’s powers. They would be put to the test soon enough. For one the Direx board where gathered here at the top of this facility, and security would be tight.

Sure enough a line of brown armor clad soldiers came pouring down the hall. This time there were more than two dozen. Likely to secure any exit and entry points that could be breached with security down. “We’ve got company, have your saber ready. Remember no survivors.” Kentarch instructed to Dalansa. He could hear somebody shout intruders. The Sith Lord’s red lightsaber came to life and deflected several of the incoming baster bolts. He bounced a few back into his attackers, and within moments three men had fallen. He rushed down the hall and cut one man down, then pushed out knocking several more over like dominoes. “Kill them all.” He shouted.

"Not long." said Assadar. A light flashed on his console.

"Reinforcements are being sent to your position." he said to Kentarch. "There's nothing more I can do without exposing myself, but the surveillance is still scrambled. There's a service shaft about twenty five meters ahead and to your right. Get in there--I'll direct you to...somewhere closer to where you need to be. I--"

Z-1 interrupted him with a flurry of frantic beeps.

"Not good."

Assadar's hands flashed across the console as fast as he could make them move. Z-1 had just informed him that the enemy had discovered the root of the surveillance "malfunction."

"Z-1, transfer full command of the security network to this station--give it a nice long encryption key." Z-1 beeped in assent.

Immediately, Assadar cancelled the security alert at the Sith's position and created five more at random locations.

"They're onto me. Your window starts now. I"ll do what I can to help you, but you'll need to move as fast as you can. I'm going to be losing control pretty rapidly and it won't be long until you're completely on your own out there. Just let me know what you need."
