"Yah..I guess.." Terrik mumbled under his breath, standing impatiently, "Tell me, what does your master want from me..?" he asked, his voice flat.

"Oh, right, the missles." I wait for the respetionist, hoping I don't have to go on a killing spree, But of course, thats always fun.
(just out of curiosity, do i know he's a dark jedi. Or any of you for that matter.)

He's a little strong minded to be mind tricked.

"I don't care if you are in a hurry, so is everyone else. They don't usually wanna get caught with those illegal disruptors rifles. The price for missiles and blaster ammo are 3000 credits, bub, so pay up or get out. And what's your name? If you're here to pick up an order, I need your name."

Mind Tricks won't effect this guy much, especially coming from two Hitmen, who aren't that strong in using the Force. Their strong pionts are blazing guns.

Karto, your wait is not long. Hessel opens the door and leads you in.

"Hello my apprentice, I trust you slept well? I hope so, because your up for another round with me and the training sabers."

You walk into the round dueling room after passing through the armory. He clothes you in training gear, a blast helmet, and gives you two green bladed training sabers, which are basically undetailed cylinders. On/off button, belt clip, and a covering. That's it.

"Are you ready?" he asks from under his own blast helmet. He ignites two blue training sabers, though his normal lightsabers are green like your own.

"He's got a plan to take down the Jedi, by banding together some of the Dark Jedi he sees fit. I needed a little fun, so I tested you myself. He's got a bigger test in store, but I'm not sure what."

"Are you interested at all? I'm sure the downfall of the Jedi sounds like something you desire..."

Terrik nodded slightly, "The downfall of the Jedi.." he said blankly with smile on his face. "I'm in...aslong as I get to kill.." he said

Not sure on how to react, I slowly let my right hand dift up to my blaster under my arm, keeping it saftly hidden under my black cloak. I try a fake name, just to see if it flies. "Drake, Drake Hoden."

I deem the disruptor as the most dangerous, and fling two 'sabres at him in twin arcs, (a bit heart shaped: Me>😈 <3<- They connect with the sniper there )

Then I ignite a double-bladed 'sabre, spinning to deflect as many shots as possible fired on me.

"Kill? You will kill many. Nothing can be achieved if there is no deaths involved. You must fight fire with fire, as my master usually says."

"You shall come with me then." Sol-leks begins walking, leadings you lower into the planet. You are on edge, for he just did this a few minutes ago and then he attacked you.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Drake Hoden...not here," the receptionist looks blankly at you. He glances to the three security guards standing nearby, each armed with high-powered rifles, set for stun.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

As your lightsabers cut the man to ribbons, the others open fire. You spin out your double-bladed saber just in time, but you are forced to take some cover. Because you have switched tasks, you lose your grip on your lightsabers that you threw. They fall into the snow behind the ship.

A shout goes up. "It's him! It's Khantari Thon! We've found him!" More men pour out of the ship. You are now facing a dozen and a half bounty hunters.

Two more snipers crawl on top of the ship, one with a disruptor and the other with a projectile rifle.

Terrik's mind stood alert, watching Sol-leks very carefuly for any asertive actions. As he walked he thought of the Jedi he would slaughter and a smile spread across his face. Death was such a beautiful thing.

He continues to lead you downwards and downwards. The structures become older and rustier and filthier, and the air becomes warmer and dustier. You cough a few times as you enter a small, dirty room.

"Welcome to my pad..."

((You really like me, don't you? ))

"Karasehk!" I curse in my native language. The hunters are getting too numerous...

I quickly run straight to the ship, deflecting shots and cutting down any opposition that attempts to stop me.

I want to retrieve my two 'sabres, as those are my favorites... plus being right under the ship will cover me from those damned snipers.

"Wow, beautiful shithole you have here.." Terrik said sarcasticly, looking about the room. The air got to him donw here and he coughed lightly in disgust. Weakness...coughing was a weakness, he hated weakness..

"Ok senator, that wont be a problem!" He thinks for a moment "I want 5000 now, for expenses you understand, and 15,000 on completion!" Galiss takes the holo image of Tyr. "Now what do you want me to do with this... er Hajid when I've got him?"

When paid Galiss purchases a Crozo 3-Mal Comlink and a Culcanis Tagger with 10 spare darts. Using his talents Galiss procurs them at a considerable discount - 300 credits.

He then proceeds round the bars and cafes looking for the Kel Dor...

( 😂 )

Diving under the ship is a good idea, as the snipers lose track of you. The others have to get down on their stomaches to shoot at you, but only a few are doing so because they aren't dressed for laying down in the snow.

That's when you notice the ship's turrets. There are two on the underside near you. They aren't using them, but maybe you can.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"I don't come here often. My master lost his last base due to pirates, so we've set up here..." Sol-leks tells you as he concentrates on a keycode entry device. He punches a few buttons and a wall slides back. He motions that you should go first. It's dark down there...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Hmm...there aren't any bars or cafes in Monument Plaza. It's a vast open space with metallic floors and large bronzium statues of past Supreme Chancellors, famous soldiers, and 'heroic' Jedi.

"Just bring him to me," the Senator says simply, handing over the 5000 credits. "If you can, that is."

"What do you want?" Karkos hollers, walking over to them across the sandy beach. He keeps his lightsaber at the ready.

*Arthos removes a small leather pouh from is robes*
*He takes out the money and places it on the desk in front of the receptioninst*

"When I say I'm in a huryy, I MEAN I'm in a hurry"

*Noticing the intention of his fellow dark jedi he makes a small gesture with his hand*

"Don't. It would be a waste of time. Save your strength."

"i am ready, master" says Karto

Galiss reaches out with the force trying to sense for any particular direction in which to start looking. He asks the street vendors and beggers if they have seen the person in the holo image, afterall being quite a unique looking person somebody is bound to remember him, especially with the help of a small bribe...

Karkos, it's a woman and a protocol droid. The women is incredibly beautful, but your senses are telling you she is not very smart or lucky. The lucky part matters mostly to you, for you are indeed an Anzati, and you suck the luck out of people.

"Our ship crashed and we need transportation. Give us your ship or I'll kill you," she shouts at you.

The droid stands up and you can see that it's no ordinary protocol droid. His right arm is a minigun, and he's got a 2-barrel shotgun slung over his back. He aims the minigun at you, and waits for your answer.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

The receptionist puts your money back in your bag and gives it to you.

"If you are not on the list of orders, you are not getting any weapons."

He nods to the three security people, who approach you with rifles set for stun.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

"Good, Karto. Then we shall begin..." he replies, and put's the face shield on his blast helmet down.

You are standing on opposite sides of a small circular arena, designed to help you with close combat. You call it the Pit, for there are spectator seats above. It used to be a gladiatorial arena before it went broke and shut down.

He charges at you, swinging the sabers like blurs and trying to confuse you. He then makes a vertical slash with the right saber, followed up by a horizontal slash by the left saber.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Very few people have seen him. They point you in the direction of the northwest corner of the Plaza, where there are a set of stairs leading downwards into the lower levels. You can sense something down there, but it is very dim. The Dark-Side can cloud everything, including other Dark Jedi...

Terrik moved down into the dark slowly, sensing his surroundings with the force. He didn't like where this was heading, it didn't seem right, even for the lair of a Dark Jedi. He continued along his path a bit faster, gaining his dark vision.

Your eyes adapt to your light, but all you can see is a dark corridor that leads downwards a little ways at a small slant. It leads into a dark room, but then a fire leaps to life in the far side of the room. There are four chairs and a sofa in front of the fire.

"Welcome, Terrik," calls a raspy yet powerful voice from the chairs. All the chairs have their backs to you and you cannot see who it is.
