"This is our ship, executor?"
"No, m'lord. This is our transport to the ship. In orbit, there's a ship larger than anything you've ever seen before. We left the crew alive but gathered. You'll be able to get all the information you need out of them to maneuver the ship"
"Hyperspace available?"
"Yes, m'lord"
"Very well then"
"It'll take some time to get everyone on board. We'll be ready by the time you've extracted all the information you need"
Rhonin boarded the transport shuttle and the pilot lifted of, flying towards the cruiser that was floating in orbit. Rhonin analyzed the ship he was currently in, admitting he had never seen such a ship before. There was a lot to learn, because he could return as strong in the present as he was in the past.

"I'm.... not sure. It was a flicker of darkness, but it was so.... distant. I had the flicker of a vision, of an armored.... man, I think. Watching us from the shadows"She took a grip of his arm, smiling as she pulled herself up with his aid. She patted him on the shoulder and raised her head to where they were originally walking towards.
"I'm just fine. It's gone now. Whatever it was, I sense it no more. Either it was too far away, or it was a vision of what is to come, or what has been. Not always are my visions clear to me. Four thousand years ago, I saw a flicker of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Cade Skywalker. Three eras at the same time. I did not know until many years later what it meant. Trying to solve this vision can be just as futile. Lets just enjoy the day"
(And for the record, it's true 😄 Q'Anilia in one issue saw Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Cade Skywalker in a vision 😛)
Sorry been distracted. Drastically.))
Daran nodded. "Well, lets try and enjoy ourselves." He pulled her into the bustling cantina and selected a quiet corner of the room.
"Good flying, wonderboy"
Tyri said out loud to Julius smiled and rose from where she had seated herself with her tea, picking up his glass of ale while she was at it, as it had been refilled properly.
"Look at the bright side. You blew everything into scraps, including the bad guys"
She giggled and handed him his drink, walking up to his side. She focused for a moment on the other pilot that had approached Julius, while leaning one hand over Hetar's shoulder.

Throttle had waited for a couple of minutes now, growing impatient. He had yet another fifty minutes or so, but lacking things to do could drive him insane. More so than before, that is. He walked back to the communication system, opening the same link as before.
"Communication, how's things coming around?"
* * *
"Greetings, gentlemen and women. This wont hurt .... a lot"
Rhonin laid his staff aside as he had boarded the magnificent cruiser and endered the chamber with the prisoners. He walked then up to the captured crew, the blue lines representing his eyes flared bright blue as he reached for the first of the victims, a type of tentacle making its way out trough his mask and towards the face of his prisoner. A couple of seconds later, the scream of the pilot he had grabbed echoed the halls as Rhonin stole his knowledge, emptying his mind.

He kissed her as he recieved his drink. "If I hadnt diverted power to the repulsers from weapons I'd have toasted you." He said as Tyri leaned on him. "However, Ty you were stunning. An instant ace." He glanced at the screen whis was displaying statistics and results.

"Commander Sraf here, hello General how are you?" Aya smiled at his holo.

"You bastard! You'd kill us all!!" Shouted one of the prisoners. "Vader had better standards than you!" The Imperial officer shouted.
Tyri shrugged with a smile, as she took another sip from the glass. She grinned then and tapped on his shoulder with her fingers, resting her eyes on his graceful face.
"Cant blame a girl for trying, ace"
* * *
Throttle held his arms crossed and grinned at her. He did feel sorta naked without his suit, but that was obviously not the case, as he had gotten himself a medical outfit to wear.
"Good evening, day or whatever, commander. I'm pleased to hear from a friendly face for once. Care to explain what's happening? From what I've gathered, we're no longer by Endor"
* * *
"Who? Vader? Whos Vader?"
Vader was obviously the name of some modern time menace, given how he spoke of the man. Rhonin had yet to adapt to the information ripped out of his victim as he dropped the mindless corpse, letting it fall to the ground. Even after adapting, it was unlikely he could form the knowledge to his complete will. He was still worn from the stasis.
"On the contruary, mortal. I'm not the common murderous menace the galaxy tend to be used to. I take what I need, and I need some of you alive. I'm just one man, and my unit does not share my charming racials. Obviously I cant control a ship of this size on my own, despite. Some of you will be helping me do it. And believe me .... you will be helping me"
Rhonin turned to the entrance of the chamber, observing as a disciple of the unit entered with a bow.
"Master Rhonin, everything is set. Everyone is onboard. We're ready to departure"
"Perfect, executor. I'll see how many that volunteer in the mission, and I'll meet you on the bridge"
"Yes, m'lord"
"Now let me explain how this will go down. You'll join me on the bridge, or you'll share the fate of your fallen comrade. Mindless. The difference is that your mindless body will still serve under my will. The charms of mindcontrol. And dont think your resistant. Your not"
The officer shuddered as he listened to the masked lord. "You would be no better than Joruus C'baoth when he tried to control poor General Covell." The officer struggled against the restraints. "What if we join you, to control the ship?" He tried. "Without mind control."

Julius smiled. "Yes, baby, your an ACE, just look at that screen." He took a large gulp of his drink and watched as eager pilots climbed in to try out the same senario. "New sim? No I havn't."
kal smiled. "well i think it might be just the challenge you need. you're the only person to ever beat me in a sim. so if i cant beat that sim..." he waved for hetar to follow. "just so you know, you're gonna be fighting one of those new droid starfighters. and i think that once you've flown this sim, you'll learn to respect tech more these days." he found an open sim booth and programmed in 1 starfighter. he waved his new friend in. "try not to get hit. choose any starfighter you like."
Rhonin laughed darkly and lifted the officer up with the force. He held his nose high as he did so, his arms crossed as he stared at the man.
"I know of no Joruus C'baoth, but trust me, my control would work. You see, I'm not like others. I dont use the force to control my advesaries. My ways are more .... natural"
He turned silent for a moment, watching the officer but not moving a muscle. After roughly half a minute, a disciple knocked by the entrance and watched Rhonin where he stood, giving him a hand gesture that they were ready to go.
"Very well, paw. Do remember that it's my game we're playing. You join me freely, and you will live the day. You show loyalty, and you will find me quite generous. Disappoint me, and you will see that death is the act of one merciful. And I'm not merciful"
Rhonin grasped his hands, and the chains keeping the officer immovable was shattered into pieces. He swiped his fist, and the chains of all the crewmembers shattered.
* * *
"Numbers means little on that screen. I was distracted, handsome"
She smirked and looked over at the talkative pilote who pronounced himself as Kal Toay.
"Well met, Kal. I'm Tyri Korial. The lucky winner of this price right here"
She smiled and tapped Julius on the chest, although keeping eyecontact with Kal.
"Same old, same old. My tea hasnt failed me yet. Good luck though. I'll be sitting this one out, love"
She winked at the man, kissing him gently on the lips. She did finish her glass afterwards, requesting yet another refill. She stroke her hand gently along Julius neck, before having a seat at the table next to them, conveniently enough close to the simulator screen.

The officer spat at the powerful entity. "Go to Mustafar!" He shouted and launched himself at him."Captain Arji.. No!" The young first officer beside the Captain tried to grab his evidentally suicidal commanding officer. "Captain!"
Rhonin met the assaulting captain with a grip of steel as his hand tangled the throat of the attacker. The grip was heavy enough to crumble stone if Rhonin only wanted it, and the blue light positioned on the mask where the eyes of Rhonin hid behind glew brighter. Two slim, long proboscises came sliding out of two tiny holes near the nose area, reaching for the captain but halted an inch away.
The attemptive prevention was an admirable move by the newcomer, but the tall Rhonin lifted the captain as high as his arm could reach, unabling the heroic act of the other officer.
"A captain? Arji is it? Pathetic! Noble of you to try play the hero, but you will become the villain. I told you, I'm not merciful. If you misstep, I might take it out on the crew instead of you. I told you there are worse things than death. Dont make me prove it"
Rhonin dropped the captain then, as the proboscises returned inside the mask.
"Well done, captain. You just spent the only lifeline your crew had. Another misstake from any one in the crew, and punishment is at hand. And I aint talking death. Now where do you stand, Captain Arji? This is a one chance question, or you will permanently be removed of your rank and top officers. And dont doubt me. I'll find your officers trough you, no matter if you want it or not"
((Going to bed. Sleep tight 😉))
((!!Night Night!!))
He smiled. "Sure, we'll do something ok, promise, later." He looked to Kel. "Well..."

The Captains eyes glistened and he closed them. "Go to the Maw!" He spat. Lunging again for Rhonin.
"Arji you fool!" The first officer, his hands free, grabbed the Captain and knocked him out with a sleeper grip. "Sleep... sir. You were always a fool!" The lieutenant turned to Rhonin, his expression grim.
