Jeff Williams - Ra'viatah, Osa Manetah
Moments ago...
Knock Knock Knock, her fist lightly tapping against the wooden door. This was the place alright, given that there had been traps placed about. Her arrival was silent enough so that perhaps it was deceiving. No doubt instructions would have been given to avoid wires to create a signalling boom. Waiting for the door to creek open the slightest Teresa leant against the building keeping her tall and armored frame from out of sight. She could hear the taps of foot steps trying to be quiet, but the hard floor inside did not do well to dampen any sound of a built soldier only ever trained for war. Fingers slid and gripped around the cold metal Saber, one of few she now owned. Her hand raised with the weapon, thumb on the ignition ready and waiting.
The door was unlocked and slowly it creaked open. With a cautious look a face peered through the small gap a cautious look that quickly turned to fear. A black beam that emanated a red glow snapped hissed to life as the free hand slapped the door open the rest of the way, though her strenght had broken the hinges enough to leave the door crooked. She had pierced a hole reaching through the gut and into the spine, there would be no running for him now at most a crawl might get a little distance. His body would have been heavy to push for most others as it braced the door, even she would have struggled weeks ago if it was not for a perfection that Kaine desired for her. A gift for sure and one Teresa very much appreciated.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Her orange eyes surrounded by black gazed down at the soldier. She did not care he was a traitor, he was no more than a target in which Teresa had been pointed.
"P...please, just... don't hurt my family." The Solider begged with pain and fear in his voice.
"Ohh? Dear, you are simply in no place to make requests. Had you have remained loyal they would have maybe lived a useful life, however your mistakes have rendered all of you as waste." Her hand motioned as she walked, the soldiers body sliding shortly behind. Teresa crouched by the mother, teenage daughter and young son.
"My aren't you two just precious." The mothers loving grasp became more firm around her children as Teresa's condescending words rung out.
"I... arghhh... beg, please don't." Still his tone was the same but rapidly getting weaker by the second.
"Be quiet worm." Teresa did not look at him as his skin became white as a ghost till finally the remaining strength had been drained out of him. Of course it was not a natural death, rather it was an opportunity to train one of the abilities

had shown her on Tython.
"Now lady, I am feeling kind. Which child stays with you, and which child do you forfeit to serve me in exchange for your life?"
"How, how can you be so twisted to ask me to choose? I know your kind, evil, corrupt cast everything that cannot fight back below your heels while all sith do what ever pleases you. I will not choose because even if I was to choose we'd all die anyway." The woman spoke out clutching ever so harder onto her children keeping them firm in a mothers embrace.
"If you don't choose I will simply end you all, can you not see this is me showing a slither of mercy." Her demeanour seemed calm but the threat in each word was ever present, as if it was a poison. The very corrupting energy that radiated bought fear into those close enough to feel its icy touch.
"I-" Just as the teenager moved to try stand up her mother tried to pull her back.
"Mom, it's.... it's okay. Let me do this to protect Sable." Her gaze turned to look at the sith that grew a grin on her lips.
"I will go with you." The girls face scrunched up as tears dropped from her eyes, her posture looking defensive and closed off.
"Komi, I-" Once more a snap hiss with a haunting hum rang out that cut the woman's speech off. Though it did not penetrate, rather there to scare her mouth shut.
"My, such a brave girl... Komi." Teresa pulled the girl in and lifted her up with one arm as if she weighed nothing. She appeared to have kept her word, but like Komi's father the mother and her brother's very life had been drained from them. Nothing but empty husks remained in that building.
"You now serve me, not as a slave. Do well and I will reward you, betray me and your mother will be hunted down and killed along with little Sable. Do you understand."
"Y...yes." She spoke daintily as the girl cried.
Her wings beat hard lifting her body from the ground, there was no sound while taking off nor the sounds of flapping that many avian animals had. Rather hers was like the few predators that was silent. For now Teresa would let the girl have her time to cry, her pain and broken heart felt like a tiny battery. Turning about Teresa had noticed that her timing was close. It was hard not to notice the group hiking up the mountain. However she hoped if they was to see her, that she was some kind of animal. Very few took the chance to look up and really inspect.
However, one of them in the group below felt... different. Just a feeling but something perverted. It made her think of the blue blade that was on Tython that she did not have the chance to clash blades with, but it was not that guy something was a little different. Perhaps it was another blue or green blade. If it became a problem then she knew that her training would be put to use and deal with it. Still Teresa knew there was no leaving yet. Kaine had asked for a report straight away once the task was done, that and supplies needed getting from the nearest settlement, food was running a tad low and so was the strange red drink which made her head feel all dizzy. For now she remained heading back up the mountain, stash the girl in her ship and finish up on the world.
It took only minuets to get to ship. Her body angled hard as her feet touched against the rocky flat. Lowering Komi down to the ground Orange eyes watched the girl for a moment as she herself looked at the black VCX-100 remake.
"Come along. In time, I'll let you decorate it as you wish, and once you have calmed down and I have had time to think, I will tell you what your duties shall be." The girl simply nodded her response with a sniffle, clearly to depressed to give a verbal answer.
Komi would be ushered forwards and taken straight inside, they would pass through a room with a eating area and a few crates. As they passed through Teresa pulled a
necklace towards her and then over the head of the girl without touching it.
"Keep that on." She said softly as they finally got to the small bedroom that was rather empty besides a few draws and a bunk. Once the girl was inside, Teresa did not hesitate to lock the door. Though the girl might find solace in that or perhaps the very opposite. Either way it was of little thought to the woman as she made her way back to the ramp and sat down. Pulling out a communicator to make the report the hologram of Kaine would be displayed and quickly the two began to talk.

to help the soldiers on the low risk extraction. Silas sat in between the troopers and calmly looked ahead of him, silent and in deep thought for most of the trip. The last few weeks had left him sleepless and on edge from the mixture of no sleep and recycled concern, largely from the crystal that had been waking him as well as the obsessive thoughts of his ancestors. He wanted it all to stop so he could be normal again, but it wasn't as simple as that.
