In the Dark -- Episode I -- REX's Game

"i see." says karto waiting for their arrival.

(B)

You both grab each other at the same time and you lift each other into the air, dangling above the ground yards away from each other, as he had backed off when you charged in.

"I see you have some skills," he says to you.

(XJ & C)

The comlink continues beeping. Don't forget about how you are going to hunt for Thajkon. That is the main reason you are going to Coruscant, besides handing over the disruptors.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(D)

You are approaching Coruscant fast, and enter it's atmosphere with no trouble at all. You land on the platform and follow Hessel to what appears to be a large cafe. It consists of five buildings, and blue flames are dancing atop pillars, giving heat to the frigid area. It is rather close to the freezing cold pipes at the poles that transport water, so you consider that a good idea. You walk into the center, and see that the Rodian bartender is already helping someone. A Siniteen comes out of the back room.

"Ah Hessel! NIce to see you again. And this must be your apprentice. Karto, isn't it?"

"Just get me something strong.." Terrik replied, looking around the area and then at Sol-leks with a glare. Oh how he wanted to reach over and kill that man, so badly it burned in him.

"Excuse me for a moment" I say to him

*I come up to the comms device and press the button to play the transmission*

To give Thon time to do some dicing I reaching out with force and throw big bits of the broken stairway at Xeen.

"We'll probably come back here, eventually," Karkos says. "We can leave most of our stuff here." He hops in the Revenge, Reeth's ship.

Reeth grabs his things and hops in the ship. He sits in the pilot's seat, with Karkos in the co-pilot seat. He powers up the ship and flies through the mines to the open air. He gets off of Besouine and sets a jump to lightspeed for Coruscant.

"I'll make you an Aludium pu-36, then. Our strongest inexpensive drink..." the Rodian walks off to get your drinks. You sense something coming from two men who just entered, but the feeling leaves as Sol-leks talks to you.

"So, where do you come from, Terrik?" Sol-leks asks you.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(C)

A hologram of a man clothed in armor and black robes appears. His eyse glow blue, you can tell, even though the hologram makes everything look blue. He does not let you talk.

"Hello Arthos and Xornon. Glad you two could meet each other. I have a proposition for you, one that could bring you great power and wealth. Meet in the Hyperspace Nova Cafe on Coruscant...if you wish to hear it."

Transmission over. Xornon, you've seen this guy in holograms. Hajid Thajkon, that man that you and Pol were going to go after once you got to Coruscant. Now he's going to walk right into your hands...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(B)

By doing that, you loosen your grip on him and he drops. You are still suspended in the air, but he is too busy trying to choke the life out of you to notice that you are hurling an entire section of damaged stairway at him! Your anger and fear of dying energizes your powers, and sometimes it's as if you have no control of what you do! He drops you as sparks and debris fly. He begins to run. Dak, something is telling you to chase him, and you bolt into a run. Galiss, you follow. Anything you want to try to stop him?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(BB & GZ)

I'll assume you are bringing your droid, GZ...

You manuever the ship out of the mines and fly it into space. The stars streak by, and G2 alerts you that there is an incoming transmission, and you activate the hologram. It is a man in armor and black robes. His eyes glow blue, you can tell, even though the hologram makes everything blue. He doesn't let you talk.

"Greetings, Karkos Grimm and Reeth Qoth. I see you have met Terran..." You both glance at the girl. That must be her name. The message moves on. "I have a proposition for you, one that could bring you great power and wealth. Meet in the Hyperspace Nova Cafe on Coruscant...if you wish to hear it."

"That is my father," Terran says to you both. "He is the one with the big plans."

I think to myself, which would be better, the money that I was being offered for killing this man, or the propasition he was offering. 'Well, if I don't like his offer, I'll kill him there, and get money anyway' I say to myself. I look over to Arthos, "So, I take it we're going right?"

"Do you trust him? It could be a trap. Perhaps it is bettr that he does not know that I'm there, you will go, I'll be right behind you, but I will keep out of sight, if something major happens, I will step in and we can kill him. Kapish?"

Calling on the force again I grab hold of him to either stop him or slow him down immensely...

"Yeah, works for me. Except, how did he know we met? Do you think he's some sorta Jedi?" I am ready to hear his deal, but it wouldn't bother me one bit to kill him either. Either way it was making me money.

(whoops my screw up, just relized that it was a transmission, and not a message, so ex out that Q about how did he know we were together)

I call on the Force to pull his feet out from under him.

(C & XJ)

Then again, how did he know your names? How did he know to contact your ship rather than your apartments or wherever you stay? How did he know that Xornon was even going to be on Arthos' ship? You are unsure for now...either way, you can form a plan to meet him or kill him.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
(B & GK)

He slows down a little bit, and he stumbles a bit at Thon's pull. He throws a trashcan or two at you with the Force, which Galiss can easily block and toss aside.

You are chasing him down, and he enters a square. The Hyperspace Nova Cafe, a place consisting of five buildings, with pillars topped by dancing blue flames dotting the area. He's rushing towards it at high speeds.

I use the Force to pick up a trashcan and fling it back at him, while sprinting as fast as I can after him.

(GK)

Sadly, you have no Force talents nearly as good as Tyr or Galiss, of the two Tyr being the better.

Galiss force speeds after him...

"Seems like this guy is slightly insane then..." Karkos muses. "Why the hell does he wear all that armor? It's not like he's under attack or anything. And how come your eyes aren't glowing, if he's your father?"

(B)

Even with the Force, you don't think you can catch him. He speeds on ahead of you and runs inside the center building of the five.

(BB)

"I like to keep my identity hidden to most," Terran says simply. She reaches up and pulls out a contact from her right eye, revealing a bluish glow. He puts the contacts back in. "Now you know."

Hmm...Reeth, you've seen these people before. They are humanoids from the planet Aldoan. The humanoids go under the same name, Aldoans. They have odd customs there, especially the law that all Aldoan women must be seductive...
