Private The Catalyst Protocol: Final Phase

[Liin "Tera" Terallo]

This is it. I had asked the two Diarch brothers on seperate ocassions for time. Time to set up my decoy laboratories. Time to thwart the hunters and others off of my trail so that I could further pursue my research in peace. Such efforts came at a price. For although my efforts of escaping most levels of detection; it did not prevent all of them. And despite the exhastion of living a life on the run; I still remained steadfast in seeing my research succeed. And as promised I have no intention of selling it. More than likely I will destroy it all once success has been reached. This is all perhaps just to see if it could be done. And if it can be carried on through my genes. That is if I can find a viable candidate to donate their genetics with mine to procreate. But that is a problem for another time. If I can gain the courage to put in a search for a proper match.

In the meantime, I had another matter to tend to. And that is in securing and building a private laboratory protected by people that I trust. And I know just who to reach out to for an escort.

Greetings Varlo. I hope that all is well and that I have not caught you at a bad time. If you are able, could you please escort me to Bastion once more? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
~Liin.

And now I wait. I can only hope that at least one of the brothers are on Bastion by the time of my arrival. If there is one advantage to living life on the run; it is that there is not a lot that one must pack. So there will not be a whole lot for me to take on board. And soon I will be able to return the salvaged vessel and droids to Judah Dashiell unscathed. I am certain that he will appreciate it.

Reign had been reviewing troop movements towards the Diarchy’s western border when Varlo entered the room, much had changed in just the short time that Liin had last been there.

“Hey kid, your friend, the scientist. She reached out on my direct line. Asked for an escort here. With leave, I’m headed her way”

Reign looked at his closest friend with an arched eyebrow, a small smile on his lips.

“Is this a social call? I always thought you were too sour to have a life”

He chucked slightly before continuing

“I’ll be here, please make sure she arrives safely”

With a crisp click of his heels the large black armored man was underway headed straight for the hanger and Reign’s upsilon shuttle waiting there.

He transmitted a message as he set the ship to launch.

“Liin, while I wish this was a social call, I’ve advised the Diarch and I’m on my way. Please transmit your coordinates”

 

[Liin "Tera" Terallo]

A social call? Surely he jests! I have not had or been to any social gathering in quite some time. It feels like another lifetime ago.

Varlo,

Requested coordinates are attached. Thank you. I look forward to your arrival.

~Liin.

I wonder if he will once again portray my cousin? Such an act was amusing to play out. And in these times sharing a laugh is never a bad thing.

Rellik moved through the archive halls alone. The library of the crucible was one of his secondary homes and the place he was directly in charge of. It was his duty to manage the students and what they had access to.

He retrieved a restricted volume Speeches of Kakus and scanned the pages in silence. The weight of his fathers words and his voice weighing on him.

Making a note of several excerpts, he would save them and transmit them to his personal databank. Some would be quoted in an upcoming address at the chancellorate forum.

Than he heard it, a soft pinging on his personal communicator. Diarch Reign wished to see him. So be it, at least it was always nice to see his brother. Even if it interrupted his study time.

With a quick reply line he told his brother he was on his way to the High Council Chambers. Their typical meeting place to discuss anything they needed to.

Varlo had received the coordinates, this time he went alone, confident that he could be in and out unseen with his charge. He knew that for "Tera" to contact him directly, it was urgent. As the shuttle lifted off towards the sky he pondered what she could have in mind and what the kid had told her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reign made his way from the governmental offices to the High Council chamber atop the Crucible. His brother had informed him of his own meeting with their mutual friend, but to have a summons from her was something unexpected. She had rejected his original offer of safe haven.. perhaps that had changed?

The Diarch entered and took his usual seat, as he waited for his brother to arrive, he let his thoughts wander. There was no doubt by now that Liin knew Reign was a "Force Wizard" as she liked to call them, yet she still seemed to trust him, well as much as she was able..

His heart and mind went out to the woman, attempting to sense if she was in danger, she had been a good friend to the Diarch throughout the years and if anything should happen before she reached the safety of Bastion, the Galaxy would pay.

"Liin, what have you gotten yourself into.."

He said softly to himself.

 

[Liin "Tera" Terallo]

Varlo had arrived right on schedule; smiling with open arms as he greeted his cousin Tera. But I did not just have bags packed with me this time. For I also had a couple of crates worth of boxes. At least there was room for them in the shuttle. My other items can be shipped at a later date.

Once we were safely inside, I let out a held breath. "We need to move quickly. I do not know how much of a head start we have. But at least I know that your ship is not being tracked. And as soon as we are safely in Bastion, I will explain more. I can only hope that this will be the last time that I have to run. It is good to see you again, by the way. And I thank you very much for this."

The walk from the library to the council spire didn't take long. Rellik moved without hurry, letting the quiet hallways of the Crucible pass around him. A few students offered shallow bows as he went, but he didn't stop. A summons to the high council chamber was not one to be treated trivially.

Up ahead, the doors to the High Council chamber stood open. Two Preservers stood at each side, symbolic in their duty. Ahead of him he saw his brother. A large smile drew across his face as he approached.

Standing upon the marble circle at the center of the chamber he said hi to Reign.

"A summons from the man up high himself!" An obvious joke and poke at his brother. "Please sire, I did not know the trouble for which I cause!"

Rellik gave a bow before rising again with a laugh. "It is good to see you. I feel like it has been months since I saw your face." He moved to take his seat next to his brother. As he did so he looked over at him with loving eyes. "I have missed you brother. Daily, I am glad to see you looking strong. Why have you summoned me though?"
