”Tranquility are you sure this is accurate? A Sith Holocron on Dromund Kaas, and no I am not trying to be sarcastic about that. One would think after all this time the Sith had cleaned the place and removed any loose holocron’s that might be lying around from ancient times. Anything of value is likely to be locked away in a vault somewhere, and while I don’t mind cutting down a number of people for more power… the political trouble such incidents stir up are more trouble than they are worth…” Sighing softly Charles slowly stood up from his seat as the shuttle touched down in the hanger bay, the five holocron that hung from his form in different places jingled as he moved. The project had been faster than expected when it came to ‘gathering’ the holocrons, but when it came to unlocking them… sadly that was a much slower process. They had come close to getting the second one unlocked, but a few key researchers died overnight by having the life drained from them… setting back months of work.
Charles had a feeling Udzei had something to do with it, the old Sith spirit displayed what one would call jealously at the possibility of having to share her ‘pupil’. This was only compounded by the fact that the holocron in question was one that belonged to a former Jedi. So she worried Charles would be ‘corrupted’. As for himself… power was power… and knowledge was knowledge… no matter the source, in the end he would be its wielder. In fact he was so focused on his own thoughts that even when the ramp came down and he stepped out, stretching as he looked back at Tranquility's hrd, that he didn’t even notice the presence of the young women in the room. Not at first anyway, it didn’t take long before his dark black eyes curiously turned in Riku’s direction, and that of the people around her… no… it couldn’t be. Tranquility would have never left him without that kind of critical need to know information, and when he asked her… there was a certain annoyance in his voice about the realization of this detail,
”You tricked me didn’t you? Well I guess omitted a few facts might be the more correct way to put it? Tell me Tranquility… am I really here to pick up an ‘object’ or did you just call what I am really here to get ‘an object’ to get me here faster.” The dark and ominous laugh that echoed from beneath the Admirals mask rumbled outward. It was quite apparent that he was more amused than angry at the situation, but had he known he was bringing a person back… well… he probably would have brought a squad or even platoon of ‘The Zombies’ with him. Holocron’s didn’t cause problems whenever you told them to come along, and certainly didn’t need a subtle hint like people did that they best not waste your time by not joining your little ‘team’. Still he waited for Tranquility to confirm that he was right about the situation or make the first move just in case he had been wrong.
Charles Castex
here to Dromund Kaas. Charles was always on the hunt for force related things so when a intriguing person who seemed to have no home showed up, she alerted charles. After all organics were better at this sort of thing. Tranquility was manning the ships while charles got the job of convincing the girl to come to the enternal empire. Her hrd was there but Tranquility found that she lacked the emotional touch organics needed in situations like this.
