Mission to the Darkside (Kixi)

Dromund Kass​

​

The assembly of the Silver Sanctum Coalition had once again sent George and the young Jedi Knight Kixi Rajki off on another mission behind enemy lines. This time to the planet of Dromund Kass, a place once occupied by the Primeval now a ungoverned planet ruled by the strongest. This change in structure both helped and hindered them on this mission to find and extract information from an informant.

Once again the informant's identity was unknown, a tip sent to the Coalition anonymously, all that was given was a location and a code word. Jedi Knight George O Rourke and Jedi Knight Kixi Rakji landed on Dromund Kass in George's YT-2400 after receiving minimal resistance on the way to the surface. "With the Primeval gone, it seems that their defences are lacking. This should make the mission a lot easier." He spoke to Kixi as they left the ship. Little did he know he just jinxed himself as the trouble was about to begin.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

"Easier? Nothing is ever easy."

Kixi replied doubtfully to her master. Every time something was supposed to be easy, it always ended up being the opposite, or something unexpected happened.

"Well if we go by past missions, it seems like trouble always seems to find us first. The aura in the Force seens foul already. I hope you're right, but I gotta bad feeling I'm gonna be right this time."

Kixi then motioned for George to lead the way. Given she was in Imperial territory, again she had dressed up with the bounty hunter look again. Should help not attract too much attention, at least in theory, because it most certainly wasn't the case last time.

"Yeah you're right; a man can dream can't he?" George replied in a sarcastic manner followed by a small chuckle. They set off towards the coordinates of the informant. What lied ahead was unknown, who the informant was and what they had to give was also unknown. This mission was practically unknown to everyone. This always left George slightly paranoid, but he did his best to cover it up.

With Kixi motioning for him to take the lead he did just that. As they walked through the city it was clear that it had fallen, the streets were empty of civilians. Gang members lined the streets talking amongst themselves and staring at the intruder.

Moments later a group of them turned towards George and Kixi and stood them down. Blocking their path. "Yo scum bag, these are our streets now. Get out or pay the consequences!" A young member stood up, seemingly the leader of the small group barking demands of the two Jedi. "I don't think so pal. You will move out of our way and let us continue on." George replied calmly without raising his voice. "Oh we have a smarty pants here do we? Unless you wanna play 'gangsters kill you' I would suggest leaving." The man said exposing a blaster he had hidden in his belt. "Really? 'Gangsters will you'? What kind of stupid game is that?" He whispered to Kixi making sure they couldn't hear him. "That was really lame man..." George replied laughing that the sad sods that claim to be gangsters.

George pulled out a one of his lightsaber hilts, igniting the blue blade immediately. The hue of the sabre left the group stunned, they obviously had not expected to see a Jedi today in their 'crib'. He after seeing it, they changed their minds quickly. "Oh hell no! Lets get outta here." The leader said as they scampered away down a corridor and out of view. "Lack of justice really changes things doesn't it." He spoke to Kixi as they continued on their way to their informant.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

"I guess that worked for now. However not sure if wise. If they're part of a larger mob, they'll go warn others that there are Jedi lurking around, or in other words us. I would have preferred shooting the lot of them."

Kixi paused a moment and quickly added her last bit before her master could protest.

"With blasters set to stun of course."

Kixi gave George a cheeky cheesy grin before suggesting to hurry on up as they were sure to encounter more unwanted company the longer they hung around. Although it wasn't long before someone did approach again. Yet he was alone.

"You there! You should come with me now! You Nautolan can go your merry way."

Clearly the man had for some reason targeted Kixi and was hinting towards his blaster as a means of persuasion.

"Oh really buster, and why should I come with you? Get lost, you don't scare us with your blaster, clearly me alone, I'm more armed than you."

The man laughed before continuing.

"Because you're outnumbered my little scientist."

The stranger referred to Kixi as a scientist before moving his head from right to left and then nodding forward indicating that there were other men surrounding their position.

"We can do this the hard way or the easy way Kixi Rajki. Either way you're coming with us. We need the services of a biological weapons scientist and your it young lady."

Kixi starred at him but remained focus and calm.

"Sir I believe you have been given misleading details about me, I'm no weapons scientist. Seriously where did you get such absurd information from. By the way how do you know my name?"

"Enough! You will come with me now!"

The man was about to pull out his blaster but Kixi was quick to Force push him away several metres. The man would hit a building wall hard and fall down unconscious. Just as that happened, another 6 men appeared. 2 from the left, 2 from the right and 2 from behind. Kixi didn't hesitate to pull out her lightsabre on this occasion as she sarcastically spoke to her master.

"So much for my idea of lying low and not letting anyone know Jedi were in the area. I guess we'll have to fight our way out of this one."

Just as one problem was solved another opened up.

"Don't worry about them Kixi, they can run up to their mob bosses, they will be no more of a challenge than these kids. Trust me" George said confidently. However he had given a look to Kixi, one of protest as she said about shooting them. However just as he was going to comment on that she quickly corrected herself. George continued to look at Kixi as a small smirk came across his face, trying to hide the fact that she had outwitted him.

As their little conversation ended one man walked up. George apparently was unneeded for this man's plans as they exchanged words. As the man continued to threaten Kixi she reacted, force pushing the man up against a wall, knocking him unconscious immediately. At this time another 6 men appeared, two to the right, two the left and another two behind. They were surrounded. "Yeah so much for that idea hey..." He replied as he lifted both lightsabers, igniting them immediately as he looked around at the men that surrounded them. These guys were not afraid of no Jedi. Unlike the 'gangsters' they had encountered they did not run from them with their tails between their legs. No, they waited, guns aimed down at the two Jedi. The battle was about to begin.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the six men approached the two Jedi, both George and Kixi positioned themselves so that their backs were facing each other. Tactically this was the best position for them to hold as between the both of them, they could cover all directions and angles. Yet as the men approached, guns pointing at them, a larger beard man who approached to Kixi's direction was still willing to talk.

"I was warned that you would be difficult Kixi First Prime of Sunrider, but as one of my men already stated earlier, before you hurled him into that wall over there, we only want you for your services. Your alien friend is free to go as originally promised."

The tall beard man was clearly the leader of this group. Somehow he knew about Kixi and her past. Yet he had been sent here by someone else. The Imperials perhaps? The now dead traitor who had taken his own life during George's and Kixi's last ill fated last mission to rescue Nena's parents, must've told them more than what she had originally had thought. And now they wanted her to help create some sort of biological weapon. That wasn't a good sign. The bigger picture was clear, that someone within the Imperial hierarchy wanted to use such deadly weapons for purposes that wouldn't be good.

"I'm not who you think I am. Can't you see that we are Jedi. You will understand this and you will return back to your leader to advise this is so."

Kixi waived her hand around in attempt to persuade him. It worked to her surprise as the man then told the others to stand down. Yet she wasn't satisfied as she was extremely concerned. This man had leaked things about her past that her master didn't really know about, and also things she felt ashamed of. Primarily the biological scientist thing in which appeared to be the prime reason why these men had shown up in the first place, and her previous title of First Prime.

"Who sent you and who told you all these things about me, you will tell me what you know now!"

Kixi demanded still using the Force to persuade the man.

"We are nothing more than hired guns hired to bring you in. All that we know is that a woman who I believe to be an Imperial wanted you. She told me your name and what you look like. I don't know her name. She was tall and had black hair. I did hear her speak on some weird communication device to someone else, another woman, in a language I've never heard before, I'm sorry lady Jedi, but that's all I can tell you."

"Hablan ti'mas ona, nilk Züncålidiom?"

Kixi would ask the question in her own native tongue knowing the man wouldn't comprehend, but seeing if he recognised the sound of the language.

"Hey that sounds familiar. That's what they were speaking, whatever language that is."

Kixi by this stage had gotten all she could from the man and using the Force dismissed him. All six men then darted off as quickly as they had appeared. Kixi looked at her master, clearly not very happy as she explained what she had previously been thinking regarding information that had been leaked beyond that of Nena's parents, but deliberately avoided the stuff about the biological scientist and the First Prime. Although she knew he'd eventually ask later and would have to tell him as she wasn't prepared to lie to her own master.

"We should get going now Master. To this informant we seek. Although I have grave concerns that someone from my world is working with the Imperials. How this has come to fruition is sadly beyond me. As far as I'm aware, we are the only ones here. Unless she somehow had snuck aboard my ship and had had help from the now dead ensign spy. Although that beard man said she was speaking to another woman using what was clearly a Sajnen communications device. Things I'm afraid a looking to be more complicated than originally thought."

The whole situation confused George. First Prime, biological scientist? George had no idea how these were connected with Kixi, but out in a planet with who knows watching them? It was not the time or the place, George kept his thoughts to himself for the time being as they still had a mission to finish.

"It is worrying Kixi, for this information on you weather it be true or not seems quite deliberate." George's face told nothing, for the thoughts inside his head were a million and where to start he didn't know.

"We need to move out, we can't stick here with everyone knowing our location." George was almost wishing Kixi had shot those goons before as it would be one less gang they would have to worry about, but now again was not the time, they had to focus on getting to the coordinates as quickly and quietly as possible.

"Lets go." He said as he began to run in the direction of the coordinates as he extinguished his blades and returned them to his belt. He had no worries that Kixi wouldn't be able to keep up with him, she may not have been as big as him, but she was still quick and quick enough to keep up with the big Blue Nautolans legs.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi had no problem keeping up with the larger Nautolan. His species naturally could run faster than humans, however when assisted by the Force, that always evened out the playing field. They would run for at least another 20 minutes at a reasonable and untiring pace. Finally they would reach the coordinates they had been given.

"We're here Master. Yet it appears deserted. I don't sense anything at the moment except something faint over there."

Kixi pointed in the direction in which she felt the faint life form.

"Let's wait here a moment. If that is our informant, he or she will come to us seeing that now we are here."

Kixi couldn't help but think of what had previously happened. A tall dark haired woman who was working for the Imperials. She was definitely Sajnen, but how did she get here had alarmed Kixi. It was unlikely she had come on a separate ship even though not impossible. She did know from her previous mission that she had had a traitor onboard. None of the females onboard her ship matched the description either. Unless she was a stow away and got off her ship once they had reached Vector Prime. She knew who to ask for help. Her trusted friend who was also an elite spy and assassin herself, Kes En'jusek. Yet that would have to wait for later. Right now she had another mission to deal with. The prime objective as to why she was on Drommund Kass in the first place. Yet she found it hard to mask her concerns, one that her master could visibility see right through.

After running for a while Kixi and George made it to the coordinates. It was dark but a shadowy figure could be seen off in the corner, shaded by the lights that dwelled along the street. He agreed with Kixi, if they were the informant they will seek out the newbies as they were the only ones in the area.

"Yes, I am sure they will come speak to us... If they are the informant that is." George replied as he took a few deep breaths allowing himself to regulate his body after the run.

And just like clock work the shadowy person made their way towards George and Kixi. Sticking to the shadows they could be barely seen.

"I guess he is the informant after all." George spoke quietly to Kixi as he kept his eyes focused on the shadowed figure.

"I see the Assembly sent one of their own on this daring mission.... Must say, they was quite stupid." A female's voice spoke from the darkness. Surprising George slightly.

"What do you mean?" George replied, he was beginning to have his doubts regarding who she was. Was she the informant, or was she something else? The shadows continued to hide her identity.

"I expected the coalition to send out maybe a Knight and a Padawan, not a member of the Assembly and another Knight. Seems a bit of overkill for one little old 'informant'." The woman's voice seemed different, calm, cold. But George couldn't see what her angle was. What was she after?

"We take these missions seriously. Information is a weapon, you can understand protecting a weapon right?" George replied. The more they spoke, the less he liked her.

"Weapons are meant to be used, not protected child!" She proclaimed, her tone began to become more agitated, and with that George took more of a defensive stance, stepping back from the shadows, allowing himself and her room to enter the light. Well hopefully.

"Show yourself, who are you? What do you want?" George felt threatened, he tensed his body, preparing it for whatever was to come next.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

As the woman slowly came out of the dark to reveal herself, Kixi would never have imagined in a 1000 years on who she would see. She was suddenly in shock as she put her left hand on her chest just above her heart and below her throat.

"By the name of the Force, how is this possible!"

Kixi's face turned to all white and pale as she was spooked. She took one step back as the woman, Kajtia Xiz'injhürek appeared before both Kixi and George.

"You can't be her. Kajtia was slain and executed before my very eyes. You, she got a blaster bolt to her forehead at point blank range and dropped dead at my feet. They allowed me to kneel down before your dead body to make sure you were dead. I held you in my arms and cried before they forcefully took me away from you and dumped your body with all the trash."

Kajtia took one step forward towards Kixi, but Kixi put her arm out indicating for her not to take any further steps towards her. George would watch in total astonishment at what was winding down. Kixi remained stunned, scared. Sacred of her dark past coming to haunt her. She would not use the Force now, worried that her fear might lead her to the dark side.

[Kajtia Xiz'injhürek]

"Oh Kixi, dear little Kixi, I don't blame your being shocked at seeing me, it's not like everyday you see people returning from the dead. However please hear me out."

Kajtia took a step closer to Kixi but Kixi in fear lowered her arm only to retrieve her blaster and point it at Kajtia's head.

"Stay where you are imposter, not a step further or I'll put a blaster bolt through your head too."

Kajtia remained calm as she still moved closer to Kixi despite being warned not to at gun point.

"Now Kixi, you don't want to shoot me. After all I was your best friend. Come on, put the blaster away. I'll explain this to you. When I was shot in the head, my conscious was immediately moved from my obviously dead body to some high tech labs back in Bendenlink Sanryder. I was an experimental subject to the technology. It was top secret that not even you, Lord Xiz'Jhan's First Prime knew about it. In a matter of days, my conscious was put into a clone of my exact body so here I am now."

Kixi starred her in the eye. The Force told her that she was telling the truth. Kajtia walked up to her. Lowered her arm with the blaster and took it off Kixi's hand and then proceeded to wrap her arms around Kixi in a hug.

"Welcome home Kixi. I have missed you. Now that I have found you, I, or better said, my new Imperial friends need you for your expertise. Just like in the old days. We force the enemy to bow down to us, rule them and if they refuse, teach them a lesson to make them comply. We need a weapon, biological in nature to force the fear in to them and use it if need be so that we don't put to waste any resources. You Kixi can do it just like in the past. What do you say? We'll have so much fun just like in the old days."

Kixi still in Kajtia's arms turned to face her master. She was trembling inside and her master could see it.

[member="George O Rourke"]

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi suddenly pushed herself away from Kajtia's arms and stepped back again.

"No Kajtia. I'm not doing it nor coming with you. That wasn't the life I was born to be. This is. The way of the Jedi, the path of good and the light."

Kajtia starred at Kixi in disbelief.

"Kixi this goes a lot deeper than you think. A lot deeper. The Sith I'm working for a just the tip of the iceberg. There is more to this. Come with me and you'll face and experience glory like you have never imagined."

Kixi shook her head in disapproval.

"No, no no. Never. Stand back and furthermore tell me the Sith Lord's name you're working for. Now!"

Yet Kajtia remained calm and began to laugh. Then she would punch something into a comm unit on her arm brace. A device similar to Kixi's. At that moment several men came darting at the two Jedi as Kajtia ran to the opposite direction. Kixi looked at George as she ignited her lightsabre.

"So much for the that. Although I think these guys are coming to capture us rather than kill, as clearly she wants me alive."

Kixi wasn't wrong in her assumption as a bolt set to stun skimmed past her head missing by mere centimetres.

As the woman stepped into the light the shock that appeared on Kixi's face was unusual to say the least. George was a little confused on how the two knew each other and not for the first time today either. He stood there, waiting to see what would happen, his hands ready to engage his lightsabers in an instant. He had little knowledge on his informant which left him on alert for anything.

As the conversation continued it was clear that there was more to Kixi than met the eye, and a lot more that George didn't know about. The dead returning from the ground? It seemed more like a horror film than real life, but that seemed to be the story at hand, well from what George picked up.

As the conversation drew into a more aggressive stage Kixi was getting quite defensive, stepping back and moving away from the woman who had embraced her. With anger behind her Kixi ordered the informant to tell them who she was working for. At that stage the informant turned her back and left, but not before informing her own men of their next mission.

Men came from all directions and in the same instant the informant began to escape."I think you are right Kixi." George replied as a bolt came flying past their heads. From Kixi's reaction George knew what she had to do. "Chase her Kixi, bring her back alive. She is still our informant, she still has information we need. At any means necessary." It was a clear mission, but George hoped that her past would not turn this mission on its head. Whilst Kixi took chase it was up to George to occupy the rest of the men that had entered the arena.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi got the signal from her master to give chase to Kajtia despite the immediate problem at hand with the attacking men. It would be no problem for a single Jedi to neutralise the threat, it was merely meant to be a hurdle set up by Kajtia so she could escape. So George would do just that as Kixi gave chase to their rogue informant.

It wasn't long before Kixi caught up to her. Only for Kajtia to turn suddenly in anticipation, grabbing Kixi by her vest and pinning her to the nearby wall placing her forearm to Kixi's neck pinning her to the wall. Kixi too scared to use the Force in fear that she might succumb to the dark side had made herself vulnerable, something the informant had anticipated rather well.

[member="George O Rourke"]

 

[Kajtia Xiz'injhürek]

"Stay still Rajki, you know you are powerless against me. Just calm down and breathe, breathe slowly young child, breathe slowly."

Kajtia continued to firmly keep her forearm on Kixi's neck. Kixi couldn't move. Not without the assistance of the Force. Kajtia however needed to make this quick. She knew the Nautalan Jedi would soon be at Kixi's aid as those men were no match for him.

"Kixi this runs a lot deeper than what you can imagine. I couldn't care less about the Imperials, so if you won't join me, then be it. You want the Sith Lord's name, sure it's Darth Ravern."

Kajtia smiled at Kixi as she slowly put her hand down Kixi's pants touching her. Kajtia knew too well that Kixi liked other women and sexually arousing her would be easy. Something Kes En'jusek had taught her to do and something that always worked for both women to neutralise Kixi. Kajtia brought her face close to Kixi's and kissed her on the lips slowly.

"Darth Ravern will just find another person to do his dirty work, but you not coming with me are putting your life in danger. You might seem untouchable right now, but it will happen, one day when you're not expecting it, you will be attacked and you will be brutally slain. If not slain, then maimed. Your lover, Mako will die a horrible death before your very eyes. Yet if you come with me now, I can ensure that none of that can never happen."

Kixi was taking all of what Kajtia was saying in, breathing slowly now as Kajtia continued to arouse her by touching Kixi's body, her face, holding her hand and and playing with it, while still constantly kissing her. She could sense George not far away by this stage. He had surely defeated those men of hers by now and was rushing over to them. Kajtia stopped kissing Kixi and looked her in the eye.

"Last chance girl. Come with me now while you still can."

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi looked like she had been put in a trance. Her hormones were running high. Despite the danger she was in, she enjoyed being touched by Kajtia. This a weakness in her that had just been exposed to her master who saw with his own eyes what was taking place as he ran towards the two women.

"No Kajtia I'm not coming with you."

That was Kixi's weak response to Kajtia as she let go of her and bolted off into the darkness. Kixi dropped to her knees as George reached her. Kixi's face was all pale as she put both arms touching her throat. Although surprisingly Kixi's breathing appeared to be normal. She looked at her master clearly in distress.

"I've got a lot of explaining to do Master, however I do have the name of our Sith Lord. The informant gave me the name even though she had total control over me."

Kixi's facial expression was one of sadness, disappointment and shame.

"His name is Darth Ravern."

As Kixi took off it was time for George to clean up the rest. Their weapons changed from stun to full power, clear that Kixi was the one they wanted. Creating a V shape there was three to the left and another three to the right and a gap in the middle where Kixi had chased the informant away.

With blaster bolts coming for George he quickly ignited his lightsabers and dove around avoiding them. With his blades ready he went on the attack. Getting low he ran in a crouched position with his lightsabers behind him. He used the force to aid his speed and evasion and swiftly engaged the first set of enemies in melee combat. It was a simple fight, as they were geared up for a range attack and had little defence. George cleaned them up in one strike with his right blade. Straight through the midsection of all of them. The next moment he had rounded the rest of them up. Still lined up trying to shoot the Jedi Knight down he evaded and struck at them also. Slicing them up as his head turned to the direction Kixi and the informant fled in.

As he made his way there he was surprised to see what was happening. However just as he arrived the informant stopped pleasuring Kixi leaving her and heading into the dark. "What was that all about?" George asked confusingly. He had never thought about Kixi's sexual preferences as he never felt the need, although this seemed to answer a lot of the unasked questions. Disregarding George's question Kixi moved straight on, knowing full well that this would be a conversation they would have another time. Instead she told George what she knew.

"Darth Ravern... I never head of such a Sith... Although I have not the names of many." He tried to think of any that he actually knew were either alive or still being controlled by the darkside. "I am sure the Grandmaster or someone else form the Assembly would know." Hoping that what he said was correct.

George then quickly moved to the aid of the fallen Jedi, helping Kixi to her feet. "But for now, we need to get back to the ship and get back to Voss. Its been a hard day." He replied making sure she was able to walk and assisting her if she needed it. Although not knowing if there was anything wrong with Kixi as there was no visible signs of pain. He only assumed so that she had dropped to her knee after the informant had left. "Are you alright Kixi? Do you need anything?" He asked, making sure his assumptions were correct.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi slowly got up as George extended his arm out to help her up. She put both her hands over the sides of her head and closed her eyes momentarily.

"What just happened Master?

Kixi asked him clearly distraught. She looked at him lost. Kixi didn't fully realise what Kajtia had done to her. Her pleasuring Kixi had felt awesome, yet this was a weakness known by a few, that could be used as a means to seduce Kixi to their own will and almost do whatever they wanted with her. Also it wasn't the first time it had happened. Kes had did this to her on many occasions, careful not to be seen by anyone, and Kixi the victim of it all simply wouldn't remember what happened. Except this time George had seen it happen with his very own eyes.

"I don't understand. She willingly gave me the name of the Sith Lord. I feel funny. What did she do to me? Why did she just give me the name without a challenge? I'm all confused."

George would help her up as the two hurried back to their ship. Kixi wasn't injured, nor did she have any pain so getting back was not a problem. She observed the bodies of the men that had tried to attack them laying across the ground as she went past in the direction they had come from. Clearly the men must have changed their weapons from stun to kill for George to have simply wasted all of them. As they walked she spoke.

"She wanted me to come with her. She said something along the lines that all this is deeper than what I think, and that she didn't care about the Imperials thus why she gave me the name of the Sith Lord. This makes some sense in that she is Sajnen, so why would she care about the Imperials. But what is her agenda? It is a lot deeper than what it seems. What does it all mean?"

They were almost at the ship by this stage. No one for a change came out to challenge them.

"She said something that if I don't come with her, that someday I will pay dearly for it. She said that when I am not expecting it, that I will be attacked and possibly slain or maimed and my companion Mako will be brutally slain as well. I don't know if it was just an attempt to get me to come with her, or if that is real. Yet what I do know is that she did something to me just before you came. She could've killed me if she had wanted to. Thus why I can't shake off if what she had said has some truth behind it Master. By the way you saw what Kajtia was doing to me. She fled just as you showed up. What did she do to me?

The two then boarded the ship. George promptly took off and set a course for Voss. Kixi knew he wanted answers regarding her past and Kixi knew she had to give them. She breathed slowly as she explained the situation with Kajtia, and how the two were an elite team serving the Lord Xiz'Jhan. She explained how she had been executed and was dead, and how Kajtia who had now appeared had explained to her how her consciousness had been transferred to first a lab and then a clone body. Yet she needed to explain where she was from. This was going to be hard, yet it would explain many things.

"Master if you come with me where there is a bit of room, I will show you where I am from. Where exactly the worlds of the Sajnen Confederate reside."

Kixi was hesitant at what she was about to show her Jedi Master, but felt that she had to as otherwise it would be impossible to explain all the odd things that were happening. She pulled out a small disc like object which came to life as she turned it on. A holo image of the Galaxy appeared. Then it became smaller and moved across to the right floating there on its own. Then another Galaxy appeared near it, and then several others in the middle. Finally three smaller galaxies appeared on the left side of the holo projection.

"There."

Kixi pointed to one of the three smaller galaxies floating on the right of the projection.

"The Androj'Meden Galaxy. Up until now, I have only ever told this to Grandmaster Corvus Raaf. That is where I came from."

She then pointed to another of the small galaxies next it.

"That there is the Lat'Saena Galaxy. A system called Kustetiera is somewhere there. I travelled here to this Galaxy because something happened there. My beloved companion Mako Zaneca was critically wounded. I was forced to unleash a biological weapon killing millions, yet I was lied to anyway and Mako barely survived the ordeal. However this event was altered by me when I came into possession of an Orb. I was able to discover this with the aid of the Grandmaster Corvus Raaf. The events at Kustetiera did happen except I didn't unleash the biological weapon and Mako was unharmed. I later discovered the truth that the one I served, Lord Xiz'Jhan was behind the treachery. So my crew and I fled. So yes I was a biological scientist and I was Lord Xiz'Jhan's First Prime. I came here to escape all that. Yet I think I am being tracked."

Kixi paused a moment as her Master listened attentively, placed the disc on the floor so that the floating holo images could remain there, and then continued speaking as she slowly paced up and down.

"So you see, it is highly unlikely that Kajtia came here on her own. She must have stowed away on my ship on the long and treacherous journey to this Galaxy. And during our last mission, we had discovered a traitor on board my ship who had committed suicide. It is possible that Lord Xiz'Jhan had allowed me to flee and that Kajtia and the other now dead ensign were gathering intel for him. Kajtia on the Imperials and the now dead ensign on the Republic?"

Kixi paused again as George was wondering how such information could be transmitted quickly over such vast distances and why Lord Xiz'Jhan would need all of this.

"We have the means to transfer information across vast distances in what you would see as a blink of an eye. Either agent may have had access to it to do so. We need to investigate it once we are done with the more urgent matter at hand regarding the Sith Lord. When I was training with Coci, we had gone on a mission for padawans to enter a cave and find our crystals to build our own lightsabres. You were present their Master but were not yet my master. When I entered the cave and ultimately found my crystal, my father appeared before me. Through the Force. He had become one with the Force, something that happened after I left the Androj'Meden Galaxy. He warned me of a new threat. One that would happen over a decade from now. An invasion from Lord Xiz'Jhan into this Galaxy. The danger clearly isn't immanent, yet it could support the theory of what it is that is deeper than what I believe from Kajtia. They could be gathering intel on both the Imperials and the Republic for the future invasion. If this is so, we are powerless to do anything about it at this stage."

Kixi paused a moment and starred her master in the eye, tears could be seen running down from her eyes.

"Once we are done with the matter at hand, the Sith in which we seek, I will show you how information can be transmitted almost instantly over vast distances and show you my home world. We will see what we can do to find out the truth behind all of this."

Kixi wiped the tears off her face as she bent down and turned the holo images of the floating galaxies off.

"We need to find out who Darth Ravern is first. It probably doesn't have any direct relation to what I just told you, however if he is looking for a biological scientist, he is looking at possibly killing a lot of innocent people. Even if I won't be his prawn in whatever game he is playing, he will undoubtedly find someone else. We need to find him and end him quickly. Also it is possible that Kajtia could be assisting the Sith Lord to use it as a testing ground. Assuming Darth Ravern were to succeed, she would pass that information in full detail to Lord Xiz'Jhan for a future invasion."

Kixi felt some relief as she let all this out. The tension had been building up for a long time and finally being able to let it all out was somewhat a relief, even though a long rocky path clearly lay ahead.

"I will notify Kes later on my findings. I am sure she will find it all interesting. She can help us uncover the truth. I trust her with my life, despite the fact that she can come across, cold, rude and arrogant."

And that of course was the problem. The hidden menace, the death trap that awaited her. Little did she know that Kes En'jusek was the mastermind genius behind all of this espionage treachery. And Kixi would never find out. Not until it was too late. Almost two decades into the future, she would be brutally attacked and left for dead, whilst her love Mako slain, while the invading forces of Lord Xiz'Jhan enter the Galaxy and begin their long painful invasion virtually unchallenged.

George was still coming to an understanding of what he had just seen. Pleasuring someone as torture? Very precise and very... Well he wasn't sure how well it worked, not thus far. As he helped Kixi back to the ship she spoke about what had happened, not so much the pleasuring section, but rather the name of the Sith lord and who the 'informant' was. "It was very odd. Something doesn't seem quite right, as if she told us the information on purpose, as a plan B of sorts..." As they walked back to the ship George came up with numerous ideas on what their 'plans' could be.

As they got back to the ship Kixi had more questions than answers. She continued to wonder why she was told the information, why they wanted her skills as a biological scientist and what else was there she didn't know... It gave George the same problem, he however still had more questions than Kixi, and few that she would be able to answer.


As they arrived on the ship George quickly headed up to the cockpit and punched in the coordinates for Voss. Their trip would take some time, and Kixi knew it, she had something in store for George, a history lesson as one could call it.

George and Kixi sat down in one of the small rooms aboard the ship where Kixi brought out a small holo device, this promptly allow a holo image to be displayed, one of a map. But not one that George had seen before. Kixi spoke about her past. Soon enough he found out how much he didn't know about his former Padawan, she wasn't even of this galaxy. George sat and listened, didn't speak a word, but listened intently. Absorbing the information like a sponge. Holding onto every detail, hoping that it would provide more answers than questions.

As Kixi continued more in depth about the last incident she spoke about her past work, one of being a biological scientist and of an orb, but not any orb. This one she had mentioned before, they had spoke about it briefly, but George and Kixi at the time had no knowledge of it. But now she was more knowledgeable on the subject.

"The trip is long from your galaxy here, only your ship made the jump correct?" George said thinking about it. "Well I think you are right, you have a traitor amongst your ship one that is feeding your old Lord and his informants in this Galaxy. But we are no where near finding them. I think you should have minimal contact with your crew, Mako and Braj`tec are fine. But I find your trust in Kes... Worrying. I don't know what it is, but she gives me bad vibes Kixi." George had to be straight with Kixi, someone on her ship was helping the enemy, he didn't want it to be anyone, but he had a feeling about Kes, weather it was due to her cold blooded assassin nature or something more diabolical he wasn't sure.

"But like you said, first priority is Darth Ravern. Once we get back to Voss and after we pick up Nena, we need to get as much information on Revern as possible, from there we will find out what his plans are, and we will stop him. You have my word Kixi." George knew the pain that a biological weapon can produce, having felt it in a past life, through some weird orb that George still had a lack of understanding with. But she knew the feeling, and that was enough for George.

As for all the connections George needed time to work on that, preferably after the mission to get Darth Ravern. "It seems that your old life is following you into this galaxy, where your Lord has spies and agents set up seems most unique, Sith, Republic. It seems like there is more than meets the eye, we need to get this under control and learn as much as we can about this threat." George tried not to dwell on it, the thought of it scared him, the thought of the unknown coming to the galaxy scared George like nothing else, even more than the Sith, he knew where they were, he knew what they were, but this new threat. He knew nothing about them. That is what scared him.

 

[Kixi Rajki]

Kixi listened to George in silence as he said his part and expressed his opinion. After he was done, nobody spoke for another full minute until Kixi finally spoke.

"Master, my ship was the only one to make the incredible journey here. This is a certainty. However I'm not the first from my galaxy to have ventured here. My crew and I are the second known Sajnens to have arrived here. Someone almost two decades prior, another called Qi-Xian from the old non corrupt and hostile House of Sunrider made the trip in a single far more advanced ship that had belonged to the once great Ancestral beings. He himself had bloodlines from this galaxy who thousands of years ago ventured to the Androj'Meden Galaxy and settled there. Unfortunately little is known of his fate after he arrived here."

Kixi looked down in disappointment as she finished off her sentence. Clearly she would love to find him. His insight on matters overall would be huge, and he was from the old Sunrider dynasty, the original bloodline and enemy to the now tyrannical ruler, Lord Xiz'Jhan. Kixi looked up at her master and continued.

"Kes, I understand your concerns Master, it's only a natural reaction to such a cold character as her. However I saved her life. If it wasn't for me, she would have been executed. She basically executed the entire family of a family who had executed hers when she was a child. Not a great way for her to have sought vengeance, don't get me wrong Master, but in the end she owes me her life. Also I'm kind to her always, despite her abruptness towards me at times. I can't fathom her wanting to hurt me, but thanks for your concerns. I will keep it in mind and perhaps keep an extra eye on her."

Yet Kes was too smart for the young Jedi. She would already suspect that she may be a possible suspect and knew just the thing to keep Kixi in line. Do the same thing that Kajtia had recently done, and do what Kes had did to Kixi many times already. Simply pleasure her a little, get what she wanted and as long as nobody saw it, Kixi wouldn't even remember it.

"As for Darth Ravern, finding him and stopping him is our first priority right now, given we have the means right now to actually do something about it. I don't want to hang around Voss for too long Master. Who do you intend on asking, or where do you intend on looking? Once we have a lead, we should leave immediately."

Kixi then got up and was ready to leave the room.

"Oh and one last thing. You mentioned picking up Nena Ka once we got back to Voss. Where are we taking her?"

Kixi's face would suddenly change from one of bitterness, to one of happiness at the mentioning of the young baby's name.
