Not Naked & Maybe Afraid [CIS Dominion of Rishi | Z-47]

[Paragon of Virtue]

A group by the name of the Dark Akh has managed to infiltrate the Confederacy, kidnapping some of its more prominent members, as well as some of the newer and/or lesser known ones. The Knights Obsidian have managed to locate their source back to Rishi.

Rishi, a planet that offers a lush, tropical terrain, filled with valleys, mountains, and swamps. The humid airs combined with the swamps make this planet ripe for mosquitoes, predators, and a bunch of other things that will try to kill you.

The kidnapped group have been dropped off in a drop pod in one of the Rishi jungles. Force-blocking collars caress their necks, and any attempt to remove it will send a violent electric surge through their bodies. A message in ink is scribbled on the left forearm of all those within the group.

[SIZE=11pt]Survive your way 8 miles north, and you are free to go.[/SIZE]​

If the group believes the message, they will have to track 8 miles north by foot in an unforgiving territory that was designed by nature to kill them. The group has not been given food, water, or any supplies. Their clothes have been taken away as well, leaving them all in simple cotton pants and blouses, no shoes.

The Knights Obsidian have managed to pinpoint the location of the Dark Akh on Rishi, a fortress on the other side of the planet in which several hundred of its members currently are, unaware that their location is known. Infiltrate the Dark Akh’s fortress, take them out, and if you do it quickly enough, you may be able to help the survivors.

Rishi has many things to offer that are not survival or killing bad people. As always, you are more than welcome to land planetside (or hover in orbit) and do your own thing!

It never stopped, did it? If it wasn't rebellions, it was dark artifacts, if it wasn't that, it was rebellions, and if it wasn't that... It was some karking hutt refuse starting something, or so his mind had imagined, since that was the usual case it seemed, or had seemed at one point or another. Rubbing the bridge of his nose in thought, Rylan closed his eyes and just waited in silence, his mind racing from one thought to the next as he waited on his fellow Knights to join him in breaching the fortress of the scum who kidnapped their people, this was a travesty that would not stand, and he fully planned on showing the enemy no quarter, and no sympathy, they would be purged, to the very last.​

​

A thin, dark smile passed over his face at the thoughts of purging this place, a tingle riding his spine, like the one you get before doing something exciting, and this was exciting for him, after all, how often did one get the chance to purge cults? Never enough it seemed, but had always been a favorite pass time of his, in his many lived long lives of stomping across the universe.​

​

Glancing around, he still didn't see his allies yet, and so his eyes cast to the sky, his mind wandering at the vastness of it and pondered what would happen next, since nothing was ever certain, or was it?​

Groggy emerald eyes opened into the overly harsh sunlight of wherever it was she was at. Madalena blinked in confusion, realizing immediately that several things were wrong. First; she hadn’t woken up screaming. She had not had a single instance of that since before becoming a Pathfinder among the Knights Obsidian. The second wrong thing was that she could no longer feel the tingling of the Force, that presence that not only made her stronger, but also provided more than a kernel of comfort for her during the hard times. Third, she was not wearing her own clothes. Whatever it was that was on her body, the fabric was itchy, uncomfortable, and did absolutely nothing to compliment her curves. It was a sin to put it on her, but not in that fun and delicious way.

And of course, there was the matter of the fourth thing; there were other people around her, and they were all unconscious.

Her fingers moved up to her neck, feeling the metal that surrounded it. She never wore closed collars or necklaces of any kind, and its presence made her uncomfortable. She could only assume that it was one of those collars she’d heard about, the kind that disconnected you from the Force. Poodoo. Lowering her hands, she only the caught sight of what was written on her arm. Eight miles north? What kind of a game had they found themselves in?!

A loud roar ripped through the sky then, causing Madalena to jump. It was one thing to be without the Force, it was one thing to be without any of her weapons, but it was altogether a different thing to be entirely without anything. She couldn’t even locate which direction the roar had come from, but it sounded like it belonged to something big that would probably try to eat them.

“Guys…” she managed to produce a sound that could’ve been a scream if it hadn’t been for the volume of a whisper, “guys! Wake up! Wake up!”

Running to the person who lay on the ground nearest to her, she began to shake them. They had to wake up. They had to get away from here!

Her feet may have been small, but she pounded her steps down the ramp as she exited the pod that brought her near the entrance of the Dark Akh fortress, the rage all too easy to read on her face. Alwine had known that there would be times like this, when people within the Confederacy would be in jeopardy. She didn’t mind that. What she minded was when a certain person she had an interest in had been among those unaccounted for during the presence check. Granted, a few people had not been, and there was no way to know if it was a mere case of bad timing or they had been taken, but she already knew to always assume the worst, and that person being taken infuriated her.

So she had signed up for the mission immediately.

She was standing now next to one of the other Knights ([member="Rylan Kordel"]), one she had not yet seen before. Normally, she would have been charming, smiling, conducting proper introductions. Now, she just wanted to destroy whoever was in charge for the missing people and then find them.

“Is there a plan?” she asked him, “or do we just charge in and slaughter whoever we find?”

Objective: 3
Goal: Disable AA guns for Callisa, kill Dark Akh for fun.
Wielding: Two lightsabers, hilts: Primary Material: Cortosis, Secondary Material: Mandalorian Iron. 1: Primary Colour: Black, Secondary Colour: Red. 2: Primary Colour: Red, Secondary Colour: Black. fibre wire garrote. Flexible Cortosis Rope. Serrated Cortosis Dagger.
Wearing: Black & Dark Gray helmet Acolyte Mask, Black and Dark Gray, tight, silent, cortosis and mandalorian iron hunting armour.
A cloaked Fury-Class Imperial Interceptor entered the orbit of Rishi, not landing but hovering next to a tree, as the landing platform opened, and a tall, large built pure blood sith stepped out onto it, wearing tight, silent, dark gray and black armour, and a had two lightsabers attached to his belt. As he stared down at the forest, he put a Sith Acolyte mask, but black and dark gray on, and pressed a button on his left gauntlet, cloaking himself, as he jumped off the ship, landing on the floor, he pressed another button, the ship flying up into orbit, still cloaked to scans, and vision. He then proceeded to walk around, without making a sound, finding a group of twenty Dark Akh.

He quickly jumped up onto a strong tree branch, using the force, and stalked the group, as they walked deeper into a forest. A sharp, serrated metal blade, attached to a strong, flexible metal rope fell down, and silently dug itself into the back of one of the Dark Akh, which was then pulled up into the trees. Astrale then pulled the blood-stained blade out of the creature's back, and stabbed into the creature's throat, silencing it, he then tied a rope around the beast's neck and around a strong branch of a tree, and he kicked the body off, hanging it down at eye level. He then dropped down behind the group and covered the mouth of two of the Dark Akh, and pulled them back into the bushes, where he pulled out his serrated blade, which was now detached from the rope, and stabbed through their hearts. He then pulled them out, and stabbed one of them through the chest with a sword into a tree on one side of the trail, and did the same with the other, on the other side.

He then walked out into the open behind the group, pressing a button on his gauntlet, becoming visible, grabbing his serrated dagger, and hooked it onto a rope which he then hooked onto his chest, the rope wrapped around his right wrist, he then grabbed a fibre wire from his belt, and used it to pull a Dark Akh back, with enough force on the garote to kill him almost instantly, he then ditched the body on the ground, he then left him there, leaving the fibre wire on his chest, easy to grab, he then put his hands on his lightsabers, pressing the top of the hilts against the lower backs of two more Dark Akh at an angle, and ignited the blades, stabbing through the Dark Akh's spines, stomachs, windpipe and chest, which is where they appeared, as he sliced upwards, the hilts going back against the inner part of his arms, he then swung them around, decapitating a Dark Akh, slicing another in half and he then brough them around, holding them like Star Killer, and stabbed into the chest of a Dark Akh that had run at him savagely, and then sliced outwards, his left blade going right, and his right blade going left, killing the Dark Akh, he then threw them one at a tree which, when cut down, would crush a Dark Akh, and the other at another Dark Akh, that would be decapitated, he then grabbed his dagger from his chest, and threw it at the Dark Akh furthest from him and hooked him in the chest. He then swung the Dark Akh around, smashing her through several trees, making them collapse, he then yanked the rope back, and as she got closer, his mask opened up enough, and his jaw split in half, and opened up, and he bit his sharp, canine looking teeth into her neck, tearing skin away, as he released his hold on her, and closed his mouth, his mask closing, he swung her around overhead like a lasso, and threw her into the remaining Dark Akh, pushing most of them back to where the trees would fall, and as the trees fell, they were crushed, and killed, he then slowly pulled his dagger back, and attached it to his chest, and caught his sabers in his hands he then walked up to the remaining four Dark Akh.

He stabbed one of the Dark Akh in the chest, leaving the blade there, activated, and grabbed the second Dark Akh, lifting it up, crushing it's throat, and dropping it, then squashed it's head under his boot, he then lifted the last Dark Akh up into the air in a force choke, and electrocuted it with the same hand, slowly killing it, as he pulled his blade out of the Dark Akh, and held it in his hand, when he released the Dark Akh, it fell to the ground, still alive and squirming, and he force jumped over to it, moving the ignited saber in his hand into two hands, turning it upside down, and as he landed, stabbed it down into the Dark Akh's back, stabbing right down into the ground, until the black blade, with the red interior was barely visible, he then lifted it up, and activated his other saber, which was red with a black interior, and sliced through the neck of it. He then walked over to the final Dark Akh female, which appeared to be the leader of the group, and deactivated his blades, and grabbed the Dark Akh's wrist, that was lunged at him, claws bared, and twisted it. He then injected something into the Dark Akh's neck, making it pass out immediately, he then pressed a button on his wrist, calling his ship, when the hatch opened, he threw the body to some servants, that caged it, and put it in a room, he then jumped up onto the ship, the hatch closing, and the ship flying from the scene, which was where the captives would be walking through, to the fortress, still cloaked, when the hatch opened, and he cloaked himself again he jumped down onto the roof of the main control room of the fortress.

He then climbed through the vent system, and ended up in the AA System control room, and got out, placing a silent, remote controlled bomb there, and climbed back up into the vent, closing it behind him, and out onto the roof. Where he then jumped down, running, still invisible, to the AA gun, and planted more of the remote controlled bombs on it, enough to blow it sky high, and he ran to the next gun, and did the same, and continued until he had done it for all the guns, he then planted some on the gate to the Fortress, and pressed a button on his gauntlet, calling his ship, which he then leapt into, and piloted to hover a fair ways away from the Knights Obsidian, and hovered there, monitoring the Knights, and pressed a button, causing the bombs in the AA Control room, and on the AA guns to explode right on cue for Callisa to do their thing.

It was a fascinating yet disarming sensation to wake up without the nightmare that was his eternal struggle with his inner demon Sigma. It was a disarming, alarming, and otherwise confusing sensation to be jerked awake by a girl who seemed to be scream-whispering and looked panicked as all hell. His eyes flicked open, closed, and open again and finally his cyan eyes focused on reality and he sat up, pushing the the girl off him.

"Alright, alright, I'm up," he went to rub his neck and felt the metal device secured there.

He turned and was about to open his mouth to spew accusations when he saw that the girl had the same apparatus on her. He'd never met her before, but apparently they were in this together. Once the realization kicked in, he sighed. Explained the lack of Sigma; he was Force nulled. He sighed and checked himself over. No wounds, his clothes were swapped out, his sword was gone, and there was a weird scrawled note on his arm.

"Well how the hell are we supposed to know which way North is!?" he not-quite-yelled-but-still, probably waking the next poor victim.

Investigation, Link with Mercenaries​

The Gurlainn hybrid was on her long term missions of information gathering, mostly for the Alliance, but also sharing with anyone who was part of the make shift alliance of free people. That meant assisting the Confederacy as well as the Coalition. The issue was, one of the worlds they were looking at was high on the Alliance’s watch list, at least from General Starchaser. She was making her way, using her new shuttle to head to the world.

Making her way to Rishi, the blonde touched down and stated to hack into one of the terminals at the spaceport. She was looking for more information on the mercenaries in the area. The Alliance in Exile was going to need the help, and if Confederate needs were what she thought they were, getting Rishi on their side, as well as some of the more disreputable population.

The agent was looking much more the mercenary, dressed down, scattergun strapped to her back, and a pistol on her hip. Stun batons were held against her back as well. “Now, lets see what the Rishi has in store.”

The Gurlanin, pure white furred, black nosed, dark red eyed, 4'4 foot tall, 5 foot long, athletic built wolf walked into the observation room of the Fury-Class Imperial Interceptor, and sat down on the floor, watching from the invisible ship next to Astrale Cage, observing the carnage that went down, sensing the presence of another Gurlanin near the planet, and was ready to fight.

From the thick brush of the jungle, Cardinal could be heard approaching behind Rylan and Alwine. The Dominus Prime of the Knight's Obsidian was clad in his Obsidian Strike Armor, small hexagonal rays flashing over his helmet as he pulled his cowl down over his shoulders. The man had heard the tail end of Alwine's comment and spoke softly at her words. "Let's remember these are the same people who manage to slip past some of our best security teams and defenses. If we underestimate them we could be the one's who get slaughtered, or any hostages they may have."

The layout to the fortress seemed fairly simple as it had been constructed over a small swamp, it appeared it's exterior defense were rather limited and it was lightly guarded. Tapping Alwine's shoulder, Cardinal gestured to the main entrance where a team of guards stood before the main entrance. "If they seal themselves inside of that fortress it could be a lot harder to get inside." He advised, before pulling his cowl over his head.

"The two of you can assault them there, while you do I will make sure they do not lock the main blast door."

Cardinal's suit began to give off a faint shimmer before it became wrapped in a cloaking field, causing him to slip away from sight almost immediately. Stealth had always been a preferred method of the man, and as his dipped his boot into the low waters of the swamp, he knew it would be a good ally today.

He woke up to the yelling, and immediately sat bolt upright, staring at the two, and stared at his arm, licked his finger, and tried rubbing of the message, he then stood up and walked over to the other two. He'd then point to a direction, "North is that way, also, I advise you against yelling, it may alert the local wild life to our presence, and considering we are presently un-armed, that would be a very bad thing. Let's just hope we aren't confronted with a Maungur, or a Khi'r, or a Rishi Eel, and pray tell not an Acklay or Rancor, or a Lylek for that matter, and pray tell not a Zillo Beast, or Storm Beast. The question is, how do we know they'll really let us go?" He stood to his full height offering his hands to help them up.

The some what sudden appearance of the CIS navy initially had Lab scared half to death, reports from Kamino and other former GE worlds being rather grim, her expectations being that Rishi would be no different, how wrong she was. Though at the same time another mountain of problems had been dumped on the Twi'leks shoulders as other new on some dark Sith cult deep in the jungles came to be known, the CIS having explained the situation upon making first contact.

Unfortunately she was unable to offer much assistance, much of the Rishi Secruity froces being tied up with garrison duties around the planet, the presence of die hard loyalist always being a problem. That and the meager defense fleet made up of only one ISD and two cruisers being relegated to keeping pirates out of the sector, best she could do was just sit back and hope their strange magic force order was able to take care of there, Akh people. In the meantime, there was the issue with bringing the jungle planet under CIS control and what would become of her and the current administration that had hastily been put in place with the fall of the Galactic Empire.

As of now Lab merely waited at the MM Company Head Quarters for a CIS delegate to arrive and either dispose of her current government or stabilize it for the foreseeable future.

Dianah's eyes felt like they were welded shut. At first nothing seemed out of the ordinary except for the fact that she felt like she'd drank the entire contents of Metus' liquor cabinet. Her head was thicker than fresh brewed ne'tra gal and her mouth felt drier than the deserts on Tatooine. Apart from that though she felt relatively comfortable. The bed underneath her was soft and war-... wait. Was that Madalena's voice? What in the kriff was Maddy doing in her room?

'Mmm... Maddy? What are you doing here?'

It was a slow process but eventually Dianah managed to pushed herself up from the floor and peel her eyes open. For a moment or two everything was hazy and then light flooded into them without warning, forcing her to lift her arm up to provide some protection. When she finally adjusted to the early morning sun streaming through the trees Dianah came to the slow realization she wasn't in Sinner's Well anymore. In fact, nothing she had remembered about the night before was the same.

She tried to run her hand through the thick mop of curls on her head while her brain caught up with her body. In true Dianah fashion the first thing she noticed were her clothes had changed, she wasn't wearing the cute little silk pajamas she wore to bed, instead she was clad in some rather unflattering cotton that dared to call itself an outfit. Something else was off as well... why couldn't she feel the dark side coursing through her? It felt so strange, like being completely naked. The feeling was similar to when she had visited Myrkr, but instead of being unable to use the force she couldn't feel it at all.

Now she was properly awake she could see Madalena running around like a headless chicken in a state of panic. There were also two other men she had never laid eyes on before. All of them had strange looking collars around their necks and were dressed in a similar fashion to her. They all seemed to have the same note scrawled across their forearms. Was this some sort of practical joke maybe? Dianah reached her hand up and finally came into contact with the thick metal ring around her neck.

'What makes you so sure north is that way?'

Dianah addressed [member=Trevethe Carmile] as she tried to take in their current situation. Absentmindedly, she wedged her fingers into the crack between the collar and her neck and pulled hard. A jolt of electricity coursed through her muscles and forced a scream from her lips, followed by an unladylike curse. Searing pain wracked her every nerve ending and she found herself unintentionally lying back down on the ground again.

'MOTHER KARKING... DO NOT TOUCH THE COLLARS.'

Antoine’s cane clanked off the metal ramp as he exited his yacht, near enough to the location of the planet’s governor, Labkahip Mordulla. Rishi, a plant that, if he were to be honest, he could not see the appeal of, had gotten itself into a tight little corner. It was one thing to be independent yet so close to Confederacy space; it was quite another when the planet was the home to a group that thought they could kidnap its people and not face the consequences.

If Antoine was to be fair, he could not really care less about the missing people, or about the planet. He would have much preferred to keep floating around Ascension, enjoying the perks that the bedchamber had to offer, especially with his current lovely and colorful guests. That was one of the best perks of being a Viceroy, after all. But, from time to time, there was work to be done, and on rare occasions, he was the one who had to do it.

Which was exactly why he was here. The people of the CIS was not impotent by any means; both he and the governor knew that it would be a matter of hours at most before this planet was grabbed, tagged, and added to the list of planets under the rule of the Confederacy. He was just here to make sure there was no opposition as they did so.

Gingerly, his fingers caressed the ring on his hand, and he entered the building.

“Viceroy Rhys, on behalf of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, here to see the governor,” he announce himself to the secretary at the desk. Not an attractive one. Such a waste of people resources.

 

[Callisa Asran]

OBJECTIVE: Assault the Dark Akhs & Assist in Extraction if possible
LOCATION: Rishi Orbit
ATTIRE: MMSA-10 Combat Flight Suit / HoloSynth MMSHMD-A01.S (Helmet)
SHIP: Ginivex-Class Starfighter
WEAPON: CIS LZR Blaster Pistol
POST: 1
CALLSIGN: GC-2

​

The Order​

​

Callisa had just finished her cup of Tarine Tea when she received her orders to move out and assault the Dark Akhs who's location was disclosed to her during pre-flight briefing. She also remembered the secondary objective which was to attempt to locate the survivors lost on the planet and prepare to extract them. Word came through that the Anti-Air weaponry on the ground were no longer operational, which gave all aircraft the go-ahead to begin the attack! She took a few deep breaths whilst she prepared to take off, "Here we go.." she muttered to herself understanding that this was her first flight for the CIS since she left the Galactic Empire and she definitely was aiming to impress!

She put her helmet on and zipped her flight suit up ready to depart from the carrier in orbit. She clambered into her Ginivex-Class Starfighter and started the engines.. Inside the fighter was very warm, especially with her flight suit and helmet on, however she was trained for this scenario in her past with the Galactic Empire. Callisa was finally ready to begin her assault, doing some pre-flight plans she decided to approach from a distance away in an attempt to locate the survivors en-route if possible. Her ship was equipped with Ion Bafflers and she would approach with the fan closed, making the starfighter very difficult to spot, meaning she would have the advantage when approaching and she could spend more time locating the survivors.

After a deep breath and a heavy sigh, Callisa set off on her mission hoping for the best outcome she could provide...

The Approach​

​

As Callisa approached Rishi, she user her locator in the ship to see where abouts the location of the Akhs were, meaning she knew how to and where to strike. She entered the planets atmosphere only to then speed towards the tree-line, relaying her actions to naval command: "Command, this is GC-2 approaching the strike location from the treeline." as she approached her heart began racing in anticipation of what's to come next, out of caution she circled the treeline, looking for survivors, whilst keeping her communications channel open awaiting for other starfighters to join or for a distress signal from the survivors..

And so she began to approach the Akh base to begin her assault, she approached slowly in case any other starfighters wanted to partake in the aerial assault and awaited for contact..

The last thing Jaron remembered was falling asleep with Dianah. It wasn’t often their respective duties allowed them to have a night alone and without interruption, but this time they had managed to carve out the time to be together. There was always something about being with her that made everything in the universe seem right. It was still unknown if she truly was the woman of the vision he had shared with her, but both of them had decided that she should be. That was the funny thing about the future and visions, they were vague because the future was fluid. Their decision simply could make it be, prevent it entirely, or mad somewhere in between. At this point Jaron didn’t care, because there was no future without Dianah.

Thos had been his thouguts as he had drifted to sleep, a deep and unusual sleep. As Jaron woke up the first thing he noticed was how groggy he was, and how fuzzy the world around him seemed to be. His feet were cold. Jaron swallowed hard and felt the collar around his neck, and his first thought was...

“DIANAH!!!”

He was wide awake now and up out of the bed. His eyes landed on her, and he was relieved that she was with him at least. That meant they could help each other, and that kidnappers know nothing about them. Anyone who knew would have not let the two remain together. They were dangerous alone, and leathaly dominant when together. They were with two others, one Jaron recognized and another he did not. He nodded to them both as Dianah touched th collar.

Dont touch, got it.

“Okay... we stick together, okay?”

In no way did Jaron presume he was going to lead the group, but as far as he knew he was the most senior among them when it came to training and force use. Lesan s also had a tendency to step into perceived vacancies. If he did lead it would only be because he did what came natural to him, something that Dianah had not observed because he liked working alone.

“Also anyone have a frakking clue where we are, and who stole my black clothes...”

Jaron walked over to Dianah and took her hand. He winked.

“Hey, at least I’m not in black, there is a bright spot in everything...”

Alora was getting used to drop pod rides. The turbulent decent only made her feel mildly queasy now and at least now she could get off without looking like her legs were made of jelly. Her mind was too focused on their mission to be bothered much by the journey down anyway. She wasn't perturbed by the crunch as the drop pod hit swampy land nor the foul smell that came with it when the door finally released. The only thing she could think about were the hundreds of allies trapped behind the looming maze of stone and metal she had seen on the holoprojector before leaving.

She knew nobody on the list full of missing people but the CIS had been a community when she needed it most so she felt the keen sting of loss behind each and every name. In normal circumstances she wouldn't concern herself with the lives of others, she had been alone in the Galaxy for a while now so there was nobody to look out for but herself, but the CIS was becoming a home away from home. True to her culture Alora was upset and angry that anyone would dare threaten her new found family, never mind steal half of them away from right under their noses.

The trip through the swamps to her waiting allies was a short one. She arrived just in time to catch the end of [member=Cardinal Vi'dreya]'s sentence. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, which Alora only managed to catch because she was staring directly at his back. The only thing she could do was approach the remaining two with an attempt at a friendly smile, mostly directed at [member=Rylan Kordel] as she didn't recognize the woman there.

Then she realized it wasn't the right atmosphere for a smile. She was still getting used to the complexities of conveying emotion via expressions. Alora mumbled a foreign curse, quickly switching her face to the same deadpan look that anyone who was familiar with her would recognize.

Considering there was already a plan Alora didn't need to say much, she simply inclined her head to the two in turn and readied herself for what was to come.

Ship: Fury-Class Imperial-Interceptor
Wielding: 2 lightsabers, First black with red core, other red with black core. Cortosis dagger, cortosis rope.
Wearing: Black & Dark Gray helmet Acolyte Mask, Black and Dark Gray, tight, silent, cortosis and mandalorian iron hunting armour.
Goal: Kill Dark Akh for fun, join Callisa in the starfighter assault.
When the radar popped up with a CIS Starfighter blip, he swung his chair around, and pressed a few buttons on the console, then turned to Ghost "You better strap in bud" Ghost then climbed into the co-pilot's chair, and strapped himself in. Astrale then shoved a few blueberries into his mouth, swallowing them, and hit a button on his glove, his helmet folding itself back to the point of it being a head clothe, obscuring all but his face, except it was made of a metal, even that then slid down more, and left him without a helmet on, he then put his hands on the steering wheel, (Yes, that was a thing on his ship) and put the ship on a mild thrust, catching up to Callisa , and hovering above her, his ship significantly larger than hers, despite it being an interceptor, it was meant to hold crew, cargo a medical bay, and function pretty much as a capital ship, even possessing the fire power of one. He then dropped back to the left a bit, and sped up, coming to the left side of Callisa's starfighter, and uncloaked, then pressed a button, joining her Communications Channel. "GC-2, this is Astrale Cage, the one who took care of the AA systems and guns for you, to your left, cloaking for stealth purposes, care for a little help in your assault?" he primed the main Anti-Personnel cannons on ship, and then activated the shields, and finally primed the missile system, activating the cloak again, becoming invisible to scans, eye sight, hearing but not touch. He then suddenly pulled away, putting the ship in auto pilot, went down to the opening hatch, and jumped down into the base, sneaking his way in. His ship flew away and hovered around, out of reasonable range of star fighters and shuttles, as to not be crashed into.

Darkness surrounded Gerwald, he could sense it. It was thick and tangible in a way that made his wolf protest within him. The massive beast took in a deep breath and willed himself forward. Warriors that did not feel fear at some point were not warriors, but fools. It was the courage he mustered to push through despite the very real feelings that made him the warrior that he was. Alwine needed to learn that lesson. Gerwald was beginning to think that she was trying too hard to show that she could play with the big boys, and her sentence about charging in was enough of a concern to Gerwald. Even when it seemed that people charged in to slaughter, there was always a plan, always a game behind the tactic.

Cardinal spoke the truth. Their enemy had slipped passed them before, and if they were not careful, the execution would be theirs. Ger smirked and patted his sister on the head. She was a good nineteen inches shorter than him, and her head made the perfect arm rest. It was annoying, but he let his arm rest on her head a moment, before a chuckle escaped his lips. They would show the Knights Obsidian what two Lechners could do today.

His eyes moved over to the redhead. She was new, as was the other man. Gerwald did not know any of the group per se, but that did not mean they would not be effective in working together. The massive man shifted his weight, placing his hands on hips until the order to move was given. It seemed that Alwine and Rylan were told to assault where Cardinal had indicated. He didn't know if the red head was staying with the older man, or going with the other group, and with a small nod as if to greet her. Today was going to be a good day for killing whether it was as a man with the lightsaber that hung from his belt, or as a wolf that was eager for the thrill of the hunt.

 

[Lirka Ka]

There was another roar for those unfortunate few to be left half-naked in the wilderness without anything to enact vengeance upon their captors. That roar was much quieter than it would've been had the one who unleashed it been connected to the Force again, Lirka was furious, and her roar let that out completely: it was fill with the most raw malice and hatred someone probably could've mustered into something. She was going to get her gear back, she was going to get all her things back, she was going to find the person who did this and pummel their face into a fine red mush with a bare hands if she needed to.

With little time between the roar and some rustling, Ka made her way out of the wilderness to the main group. She might have been a monster, in that rare sight where Lirka was completely and utterly without armor the body of a pit fighter champion who held that title for over a decade showed. She was covered in one thing more than all: muscle, just a solid brick of it, of course the second most noticeable thing was that she was littered in various scars from that long and bloody career in the Choah pits, and the third and final cherry on top for near nude (in the context of Lirka at least) appearance was just how long that tattoo on her face went, going all the way down to the middle of her back.

With that pleasant sight she finally spoke to the group, blunt as ever though her accented voice rather than being cold was overflowing with raw anger.

"Good. Not alone out in this worthless cesspool of a planet."

There was more she wanted to add, other than just insults to Rishi itself but right now she felt no interest in getting blunt and aggressive with these people.

[Labkahip Mordulla]

Objective: 3 (BYOO Diplomatic Thread)
Location: MM Company Head Quarters

Throughout the day the CIS military presence just seemed to increase more and more, she wondered why they just dind't send an entire invasion fleet if this strange death cult was such a problem... kind of strange how she'd never hear of them before. Perhaps it was some strange after effect from the whole collective saga and miners horror attack on the orbiting space station, such death and destruction would probably drive a lot of people to strange deeds.

Regardless the CIS were here to stay and rid the world of these strange folk, in the meantime she;d begin talked with this representative that had just recently landed at the compound. "Miss Mordulla the CIS diplomat has arrived", came the professional voice of the secretary over the comlink, "understood, wave him through to my office and we can get down to business". Hopefully this representative was not some power hungry Sith lord, though it was known the CIS was much more humain then many other empires there were still many among them that were no different from those in the Sith Empire.
