Rasu Gan
Old Lady Returned
Dromund Kaas was the most dark and depressing world Rasu had ever visited. Not only did it look gloomy and disheartening from orbit, but once on the surface, these somber emotions seemed to double in influence, filling the Shi'ido Knight with hopelessness as soon as she got off the Imperial shuttle. "I've got the feeling that this is going to be quite an interesting trip." she said softly so that only the man standing next to her, her old Master, Marek S'hadar, could hear. It was essential that no one on this world realised that the pair that had just exited the shuttle were in fact two Jedi Knights.
Being on the capital world of the Sith Empire was a death sentence in itself, no better than allowing the Sith to take one's lightsaber and letting them decapitating you, but their mission was of the utmost importance. Senator Bashu, a close friend of the Jedi Order and the Chancellor himself, had caught word that a few influential military leaders of the Republic were considering defecting to the Sith Empire. They had arranged a meeting with the Sith to negotiate their safety and rank in the Empire should they choose to switch sides and bring their information on the Republic with them. The High Council had acted swiftly, sending the two Knights to the Capital world to determine whether this information was accurate, and thus here they were, on Dromund Kaas itself. The Knights had learned that two ambassador's, a human couple, from the Empire's allies, the Confederacy, would also be attending this meeting and that this was in fact their first political duty. This meant that their identities were still not known to the Sith, making them a suitable disguise if the pair were to land on the Sith infested planet. Making use of this opportunity, the Jedi had slipped aboard the shuttle during a refueling stop and had commandeered the craft, ditching the crew and it's passengers on a backwater planet in Mandalorian space. Now donning the persona of Annabei Shion with Marek becoming her husband, Gantor, the newly formed couple hopped into a taxi and were suddenly whisked off towards the capital, Kaas City.
The meeting between the military leaders, wasn't due till the next day, so the ambassador's had set up accommodation at a hotel in the dark, stormy city. Departing the taxi, Rasu tilted her head around to take a look at the massive structures surrounding her. She took only a moment to gaze at the city before following Marek inside, while a Twi'lek slave took their luggage in behind them. Rasu suddenly felt sympathy for the enslaved being, she knew that slavery was a common sight in Sith space, but it didn't prepare her for the vast amount of beings that were suppressed on the planet. Trying her best to ignore the Twi'lek, the pair were suddenly met by a tall, hooked-nosed human, who greeted the two Jedi.
"Ah Mr and Mrs Shion, am I correct?" he asked, his voice emanating the high-class accent that was common of those living in the Capital city. Instead of speaking, Rasu gave the man a short nod before he spoke again. "Well then if you'll kindly follow me, I'll show you to your room." Shadowing the man, the two Jedi followed him into a turbo-lift which took them up a number of levels before stopping on one of higher levels. They continued to follow the man, until he stopped at a door, which he opened with a key card, before presenting it to Marek. "If there is anything I can do for you during your stay, feel free to ask." The man said as he disappeared down the hall.
"Well that went a lot better than I thought." she said as she made her way into the first room. The suite was pretty standard, containing a refresher, kitchen and bedroom with a substantial wardrobe, however the Shi'ido Knight was amazed at the sheer size, something she was not used to as a Jedi. However her eyes fell on the single bed in the room, noticing that their were no other mattresses or couches in the suite. Oh this will be a bit different, she thought. It wasn't that she didn't feel comfortable around her Master, the pair had been on quite a few missions together so that wasn't the fact that worried her. Rasu had developed some level of affection for her old Master, however it had only become apparent to her after her promotion. The Shi'ido just wasn't sure of what to expect of the human now that their relationship wasn't teacher and student, they were both equals which still felt pretty strange for the Knight. Dismissing the thought, Rasu sat on the bed and waited for Marek to finish his own survey of the suite.
