USH'S GAME EPISODE V- 'MAUSOLEUM'- DARK SIDE AREA

Started by Captain REX78 pages

"Indeed..." Galder says. "Sounds like your father was a dumb f*** if you ask me. Even I'm not like that. I desire power as well, and killing sprees," Galder chuckles.

"My father was a Jedi, unfortuneately. I still have the pieces of his lightsaber. It was cut in half by one of the Jedi on Damagran, named Lance Windu. I'll have his head eventually...maybe this trip?"

"I'm sure you will...that is, if the Jedi manage to track us down," Wraith says. "I doubt they can though, unless Ascar gave them the coordinates as well."

"As for Lance, I'll help you corner him and kill him. Doesn't he have a bounty on his head? Bounty hunting is one of my better skills..."

"is there a better chance of the mausoleum even being on this part of the planet? or this is just a place as good as any.." asks Takuan

(You have to admit, the chances are pretty slim...hey Ush, is this planet anything like Utapau from George Lucas' original script? Dust blowing everywhere just seems really similar...)

Rah, after being very quiet and just following along mindlessly, suddenly snaps out of his reverie "What a charming place this is!"
He opens his mind and looks/feels towards west.

You'll find that there are some very distinguishing characteristics to this place...

Galder, as you mentioned the word desert- it almost certainly is, as you cannot see any evidence of rainfall- no vegetation, of the slightest kind, anywhere.

But... this is not like a desert you have ever seen. You are walking on earth. But it is hard earth, solid, cracked earth. There is no soil, no top layer. In fact, there is something you cannot help thinking you are missing about this valley you are in.

"It's almost certainly NOT in this part of the planet," says Kuylen.

Rah, your senses guide you. You find Saar by your side, who is doing the same thing. And within 10 minutes you have found something that is almost certainly what Kuylen wanted- the metal plate of a trapdoor built into the surface.

"Over here!" Yells Rah "There's a metal trapdoor or something."
Rah clears away any dirt/debris and looks for a way of opening it.

Wraith hurries over, motioning for Galder to follow him. "Most bizarre..." Wraith thinks as he looks down on the door.

The hatch is designed to be opened, Rah. In fact, it is button operated. It glides smoothly open, revealing a ladder.

"I'll go first," Galder says, descending into the opening. He slides down the ladder.

Galder, this is an industrially created downwards corridor. And... it clearly is not abandoned. It's... maintained.

Down the bottom is a junctioning room leading to corridors, labelled in a strange script.

Huh?

"In!" yells Kuylen to you all. "Everyone in!"

"What is this?" Galder says excitedly. "Kuylen are these...Sith manuscripts?" Galder tries to get a better look at them.

Nah, doesn't really look like Sith to you.

"Does this look like Sith architecture to you?" says Kuylen, as he comes down just after you. "We're probably looking for a lift now," says Kuylen, "Either that or a VERY long ladder, which I doubt. And tell me if you sense anyone."

"Oh...alright...damn, this is confusing..." Galder says. Galder walks further into the room and searches for the lift.

"So...does Zeiton have any inhabitants?" Galder asks.

"About a billion, Galder," says Kuylen.

"Zeiton is a civilised world."

Galder's jaw drops. "Alright...so you've studied Zeiton before, haven't you? Once you knew the coordinates, you knew the world."

"I knew the world before I knew the co-ordinates," says Kuylen. "Zeiton was very famous... once. Everyone has forgotten about it now. Which is deliberate. It is the most dangerous world in the Galaxy. Demnos did not chose his final resting place at random."

"I see. How is it dangerous? And what was it famous for?"

Rah looks around taking in his surroundings with both his natural senses and his force sense. Heading down and reaching out Rah tries to feel for any of this planets inhabitants that may be close by...

"You'll understand soon enough," says Kuylen.

There appear to be several large lifts in this area. Also a load of security sensors, but they do not appear to be in use.

You are not feeling anything right now, Rah.
