USH'S GAME EPISODE III- 'ARTIFACT'. Dark Side area

( 😂 )

Galder looks around the ships, looking for the person he sensed. "Hello, is somebody in here?" he called out.

You are roughly in the middle of the hangar bay before you sense the sharpshooters up in the rafters; at least four of them, rifles trained at you.

There is movement as two men and one woman approach you, the man in the middle clearly the leader. They are wearing quasi-military uniform; the leader and the woman have slung rifles and the third is carrying some form of long metallic stick.

You recognise the emblem they wear, Galder. These are warriors of the Order of Miramar, a famed and VERY dangerous group of assassins from the planet Belseraphon, a long way out by the Rim. They kill to order, which is to say a very large amount of money, and are very good at their job.

"You are Galder Welptat?" the leader asks.

"That would be me..." Galder says uncertainly. "Who wants to know?"

Galder keeps his hands near his lightsabers, under his cloak, in case they are looking for him to kill him. He also leaves his hood up, so that they do not see his face.

The man looks at the other two, who nod.

"I am Prelate Nayler of the Order of Miramar. Your Master Kuylen sends us to aid you."

"listen" takuan says to majora "i have to go for a few minutes. I won't be long" he says hailing a cab. After arriving he sees the group of men and recognises galder from the distance...he heads towards them.

"MAN! East side Entrance!" comes a shout form the rafters. Takuan, you are suddenly aware of many guns pointing at you, from unseen places. Nayler turns.

"One of theirs," he says. Your feeling of personal danger fades, Takuan.

Takuan stopped for a moment when feeling threatened. After the danger being gone he walks towards the group of men...

"So, Master Kuylen sent fierce warriors to aid us in our mission. Not bad!" Galder says, smiling. "So, are any of you Force adepts or have any training in the Dark-Side?"

Err... obviously not.

takuan arrives at the group.

"Your ways are not ours," says Nayler. "Kuylen says we are to help you secure the artefact you seek; either to protect it once you have gained it, or to take it from its resting place by force if necessary. Are these orders in keeping with your needs?"

"For now we're working on gaining the artifact." says Takuan "let's hope force methods won't be necessary..for now"

"I think Takuan has made a bargain if he's back here. If not, I suggest he goes back," says Galder, eyeing the newer member of Kuylen's group.

"Anyway, you can help us in another way too. Do you think you could get the Jedi off of our trail?"

"a deal is made" says Takuan revealing no information.
"The only way for you to get the jedi off our trail is to get them on your trail. Direct cronfruntation would be useless." he adds

Nayler does not think it is prudent to reveal themselves to the Jedi at this time, especially as they observed three more arriving on the planet earlier.

They would like to be shown to the target building so they can plan for any eventuality.

"i'm was going back there anyway so just follow me" says takuan preparing to leave...

Nayler nods. He beckons behind him, and the bargo bay on the large freighter opens up... and men start to pour out.

Nayler has brought fully one hundred of his compatriots.

(Incidentally, I forgot to tell you before... the work on your ships is now finished and they have the long-range hyperdrives; they don't look very cosmetic but they work. For safety reasons, Kuylen sent them to deep spae ce on auto-pilot, lest the Jedi find them. With any luck, it will encourage the Jedi to think you have left. You can send the signal to recall your ship at any time, Galder, but it will take a good 30 minutes to arrive)

(aaa...but first the astrolabe)
"I don't think Ascar would be pleased seing an army behind me. I'll just show you the building and you do what you have been instructed."
Takuan stops not far from Ascar's building. "here it is" he says pointing at it.
"This would be the safe limit for you to travell in such a large group."
Then he makes his way to the building and enters.

"My people have to get into position and organise our assault," explains Nayler. "Do not worry, they will not be seen."

Only Nayler and his two compatriots follow you into the building, in the garage area. Nayler looks all around.

"Is there any other way to the artefact other than that lift?" he asks.

You can't stay long- one of the guards will spot you soon.

"i don't know...this building is as new to me as it is to you."
So i should be testing that pod right now, no?
