*He turned, seeing Ty poke his brother only to be shocked and smirked, they began to walk until she blocked them all and made her demand, her short form peering up at him. Smoothing his hand back through matted white hair he looked down at her and her little stamping foot*
"My dear, if I did not drug you, you would have sent us down in the ocean and we would not be here, so until we have control of this place, I will do whatever it is that I must to make sure we all make it. Have I made myself clear? "
*His voice matter of fact, blunt and direct. There was no time to mess about and they were right. Many traps here were intended to kill him...specifically him meaning that were she trapped with him, she would make herself a liability and expose him as well.
Turning as his brother spoke he cracked a smile, his rows of filed, filled, and crafted teeth were all filed to points and he licked the tips loving the sound of that*
"You do know brother mine, that were we to fight, this place would not be the place for it. We would just end up killing everyone and ruining this place sending it to the black depths. So when we raze our next planet, after we have painted ourselves in their pain and suffering, then we will take care of this, sound good? "
*Turning back as they walked up the stairs he had hoped this was nearing the end of the nonsense, though he was by no means worn out. The academy was large and looked like it had much to offer but he would want to upgrade a few things as well as set up a room to begin designing weapons and the like. He kept thinking to himself, wondering what would be next and always trying to calculate the next move*

Well.. with who wanted us dead... it was in our best interest to be as such. Though.. I imagine even now there are those that wish me dead.
*He steps through the hole he created, its edges cooled quickly. He looks up at Phantom and Ty and gives his head a bit of a shake. The methods of Phantom were still different then his own. Everything with him was straightforward and to the point. Or so it seemed. He would not underestimate the man.
You believe me stronger then I used to because of that display? That is not even impressive.. A simple creation based off of Vong creatures.
*He tilts his head at PHantom slightly and frowns.*
I am assuming then you still like to battle allies in training until neither can move?

Looking up at Phantom with a glare, she turned and muttered something about "showing you the bottom of the ocean" while she followed them stiffly, her face set in a grimace that seemed to soften with each step.
Well let's hurry this up! I need a drink!
Speeding up slightly she came to step next to Ferinus and linked her arm with his playfully, looking at him out of the corner of her eyes
Of course I never tire. That would be counter productive!
With a smile she looked up at Phantom and winked
Ask big brother how my first session with the Master went
By the "master" she of course meant Feral, since Phantom had all but thrown her into the ring with him on Kashyyyk all those years ago. He had broken bone and punctured organs and all but drained her of blood, but Ty had gotten up after each blow, ready for another hit. It had been only after almost every bone in her body had broken that Feral had become bored with her and let her fall into unconsciousness. Followed by the apprenticeship that she had been looking for.

**Ferinus started as Ty linked her arm in his, but decided not to shrug it off this time. There wouldn't be a point. Besides, something she said intrigued him.**
"Your first session with "The Master?" You mean Feral?"
**Ferinus looked back and arched an eyebrow at Phantom.**
"She actually dueled the old Sith'Ari??"
**Ferinus shook his head. Perhaps there was more to Ty than even his perception could not penetrate. That would have to be decided for later, when the four of them weren't on constant alert for their lives.
But Ferinus knew that would soon be over. He knew they were about to reach their objective. Or, at least, his objective.
As the four them trudged down the hallway from the top of the staircase, they finally arrived at a point where two large metal doors stood on both sides of the hallway. Ferinus made his way to the one on the right.**
"This will be my old laboratory and classroom and.....hidden sections. I will need to retrieve valuable items here. The door on the left housed our old armory.....which I'm sure you will find useful, Phantom. You do not need to accompany me in here if you so choose. Some of you may go to the door on the left....but it may have its own security measures in place."

*Turning his head to Ver'metus with a thin almost psychotic smile on his face that only seemed complimented by the scar and his mismatched eyes he laughed and kept walking, heavy footfalls of them all heading up the stairs*
"It may seem old and barbaric but it is how you keep up, you integrate the technology of the time with you but if you are the one who is behind, then you have weaknesses in battle. Civilizations before us would wrestle and fight in the mud, those after fought with stone and stick so on and so forth, they evolved with their technology but if the fighter is lacking in their own prowess, everything else is useless."
*His right shoulder, elbow and wrist all disjointed and moved like an articulating spider able to reach easily to his own back without strain, giving him reach and flexibility that the human body would not allow.
Walking along he listened to the little one talk about drinking and sighed, she would kill someone with the contents of the bottles she used but were she drunk enough she would literally just kill someone with a bottle. He had babysat her this whole way through though and truthfully wanted to re-calibrate his arm and weapons and see what the labs had to offer.
They crested the stairs and he looked over as his brother spoke and smiled at both statements*
"She did, shot her mouth off and had a boot well placed, and he did the same to me for bringing her in such an...insolent manner though that has not changed. I need to rest though and modify labs and get into the system you have here so whatever you do, don't kill him"
*The statement clearly started to his brother and then he gave a dark look to the little one who was playing cute for now. Walking past he looked over at Ver'metus and motioned*
"Are there quarters for me to set up in here or not, you know the layout of these labs better than I do and once I set up we will have some real fun"

*Ver'metus perked and raised a brow at Ferinus words. He stops at the entrance Ferinus indicated, knowing full well what it housed.*
You planning to bring the old place back into use again? I would imagine some of its systems are..obsolete. Though...others would still be seen unorthodox...
*Ver'metus listened to everyones words before responding to Phantom.*
The best tech in the hands of the fool is useless. I much enjoy schemes and ploys and working from the shadows. But a good scrap now and then never hurt...too much.
*Ver'metus had to chuckle when they talked of Feral being Ty's master. He couldn't help himself, not because of Ty.*
Feral. Some of his "apprentices" talked their mouths too much, I remember more then once putting one in its place.

Ty was smiling at Ferinus' shock of her battle but her face went blank in her own as Phantom said she "shot her mouth off". Whirling on Phantom she pointed a finger at him
Did not!!! I........
She gave a shy giggle looking to Ver'metus as he gave his comment on Feral's past apprentices and winked
Well I invaded his personal space, let's just say a guy like him didn't much care for my jumping on his back and calling him...... um......
Her eyes crinkled at the corners as she concentrated and looked up to Phantom
Great Bantha?.... No.. that's not it...... did I just call him Grandfather? Ugh... Stupid head!
Ty slapped her temple with the heel of her hand and laughed as the name came right to her
Oh, I guess I did shoot my mouth off. I called him both.
Giving a giggle, adjusted her blouse, looking around. Now was the point that Ferinus was mentioning would be the best time to split up, but Ty had decided from the moment they had begun this mission that she was not through humiliating Phantom for his drugging her, and wrapping her up so tightly, then of course there was the way he just dropped her like a bag of fruit. She grabbed Ferinus's arm with both hands and pulled her body right up to his side, looking most evilly at Phantom
I'm gonna go with this cutie, lots to talk about! Lots!
Ty opened her mind only to Phantom, giving him a few short snippets of exactly what she would be talking to Ferinus about. Mostly embarrassing things she had gotten Phantom to do when no one was around. After all, there were perks to being Ty when it came to Phantom. A few seconds later Ty closed her mind off and turned to Ferinus
Shall we?

**Ferinus turned and nodded to his old apprentice.**
"Bringing this place back? That may not be possible at this point....too much degradation from the endless oceanic expanse. It was a good idea of ours at the time, but not for the long-term. Water always wins in the end...."
**Ferinus looked to Phantom and then to Ty quickly and chuckled.**
"Do you have any idea how many credits I would have paid to witness you ride piggy-back on Feral? Hell, I probably would have given a hand to witness that."
**Ferinus then nodded toward the armory's door.**
"Believe it or not, there are quarters in the fore of the armory. I believe we used to have a student shift of guarding it and such. You should be able to find whatever you nee there!"
**Ferinus looked over at Ty and tiredly nodded.**
"Very well. You can come with me. You may find many things of interest.....within."
**With that, Ferinus placed his palm on the door. It gave only slightly at first, and with a harder push it swung in. Ferinus pulled Ty inside.**

*He peered to Ty, his eyes almost burning holes past her and into the wall behind her and nodded letting them walk to their room. He turned and raised an eyebrow to Ver and walked to the massive doors to the armory and whatever lay beyond, his body dwarfed by the doors and as he walked in he peered around, it was dim and low lit so things were obscured.
Turning back to Ver he still looked around, trying to find his way about*
"Where exactly is the power for this area, lights and all that stuff, I would need a tour as well as tap into this system and see what is running "
*He turned back to the many blobs of black and grey and waited, hoping to be impressed by what they would have built down here*

Hmmm.... Power shouldn't be a problem, if i recall it should be back that way.
*He pointed down a pathway that had a single door at the end of it. He had not spent much time exploring the place back then, he kept mostly to his work, trying to improve on what he'd seen from Ferinus and expand in it. He knew where to find things for his needs in his lab, and that was it basically. He sighs deeply.*
During my time here, I didn't explore it much. I could point out the security systems, and labs, but i didn't bother with more then that. I may have gotten absorbed in my work and ignored the rest...

Ferinus pulled Ty inside.** Ty was pulled into the room with a last look at Phantom as she stuck her tongue out at him and smiled, the door shutting between them. She turned to Ferinus and grinned innocently I love messing with his head like that. She looked around, looking about her new surroundings while hooking an arm around Ferinus's waist playfully and bumping his hip with her own It makes me happy to see him writhe in discomfort

**Ferinus chuckled and wrapped his own arm around Ty's shoulders.**
"I so very seldom witness discomfort in my brother. I must say I find its look.....absolutely delicious."
**He looked down at Ty and arched an eyebrow, cocking a crooked grin.**
"Come...you might enjoy this."
**He released her and continued further into the room they just entered. This was the classroom foyer, the room before his main alchemy labs. Rows of steel seats and tables stretched up the wall to their right, almost as if they were stacking upon each other, like any high-education classroom setting. In front of those stands was a raised platform, upon which stood a large stone slab with various rusted apparatus perched atop it.
Ferinus, almost gleefully, rushed up to his old teaching post and picked up a dirty beaker filled with dirty water. His onyx eyes looked at Ty through the watery beaker, magnifying his eyes comically.**
"Hmmmmm, I am thirsty. How about you, Ty?"
**He grinned again as the black vein tendrils spread across his face and the water began to change. Using his mastery of Sith Alchemy, he was bending the characteristics of the water and the molecules around it, causing them to rush against one another until heat was generated. Under his touch, the water began to boil in the beaker.**
"We must make sure it is disinfected, after all."

*Heading down the hall he felt out with the force and felt the breakers and began to throw all the switches, the deep lights embedded in the walls and the high ceilings flickering and coming to life and he turned looking over the space as it lit up.
The walls had recessed lighting strips and as he turned the fairly sized laboratory, long tables that had pneumatic tool slots that were underneath. He walked along the tables and looked around, there were decent weapon benches as well and he slid his hand along one of the work benches and felt the dust on them, they were unused for some time.
Sliding his foot out he clicked down on a floor switch, the deep tempered glass backed tables lighting up making them glow and set his bags down, there was work to be done and no time to waste. He walked to the front corner of the room and slid his hand on the dusty panel calling a wall monitor alive and began to call up the schematics up for the place seeing how things were regulated and the security systems worked.
Reaching in a bag he took out a hunk of cured meat and brought it to his lips, his rows of sharpened teeth slicing through the flesh like a saber through a Jedi, as he swallowed, grinders along his neck pounding it into a pulp as he sat on a control chair, using the pads on the chair's armrests to select and scroll as he began to study*

*Ver'metus looked up about the room as the lights came on. He himself walked slowly deeper into the area. He had remembered this rooom at least. He gave a sigh and closed his eyes reaching out himself. The second time he left his aura creep out from himself, the first being when they fought the droids. Still though it would seem like he was not letting everything loose. There was still parts of himself buried from sight of others. He recalled things about this place quietly.*
So, where did you find the old relic? I assumed he was no more when he disappeared.
*His voice breaking the silence of the expansive room. He continued to look around, he knew Phantom was a technical type, and would be able to figure out what he wanted. He began his own look at the things arrayed on the shelves. Supplies were never a bad thing to have in excess.*

As Ferinus rushed up to the platform, Ty hopped up to sit on one of the desks and crossed her legs while looking around. As he began to show off his alchemy skills, Ty gave an exaggerated yawn and shook her head, reaching her hand to her hip and grabbing a small flask from a pouch on her belt and raising it to him. Finishing her yawn she looked at him with her silver eyes, and gave an uninterested look. Although she was quite impressed on the inside that he was boiling a flask of water in his hand, she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction, or stroke his ego anymore than it was already inflated.
No thanks, I've got my own drink, and this one keeps you warm
She unscrewed the lid and took a sip of the liquor inside, grinning at him as she leaned back on her free hand and looked around the room again.

**Slightly deflated but never outwardly so, Ferinus tsked and shook his head, drinking from the beaker himself.**
"Suit yourself. At least I won't be dehydrated."
**Ferinus threw the beaker to the side where it smashed upon the stone wall.**
"Although, I strong drink does sound exactly as the doctor ordered."
**Ferinus' onyx eyes took in hers. He stepped off the platform and walked over, standing over her, placing his hands on his hips.**
"Well, then. If the lady is bored, perhaps the lay would bear far more substantive interest in this."
**The Sith Lord walked over to the left wall of the classroom. Without hesitation, he smacked his palm on the wall and began swiveling his palm from right to left in several, jerky motions. He muttered a few words under his breath as his veins pulsed black again. With enough motions of his hand, his alchemy activated the secret entrance. The wall broke away in several sections, shooting up and down into the floor and ceiling, until a large rectangular space opened up before them. Ferinus smiled crookedly back at Ty before entering.
The Sith entered his now defunct old laboratory in this old academy. It had been nearly a decade since he set foot in here. There were several medium-sized transparisteel containers lining the walls, containing specimens long dead, their boded in skeleton form or in wilting brown remains. Shelf after shelf of old, molded and crusty tomes spanned the walls afterward.
Ferinus ran his fingers across the ruined spines of the books.**
"I have fond memories reading this....and then re-reading them. Knowledge is pervasive yet at times fleeting. Without enough records, it can even disappear...."
**He turned back to the woman, grinning.**
"But I'm certain you've been lost in many a good book yourself.**

*His hands flew across the board, a blur of motion as he pulled up the programming and delving into the inner workings of the academy. Accessing files, security measures and the like as well as taking an inventory of items in the lab itself. As he began to bring the lab to life, the large arms on the far end now remotely bringing and setting down pallets of different components in a corner he also herd the question and smiled.
Turning in the chair and standing he brought the large board with him and headed to the pallets and replied*
With him its always a seedy low key bar that has strong spirits for those who are worthless. He and I tend to feed off just that misery and drink among other things so feeling his presence there was only surprising because I thought age would have taken him
*He laughed as he cracked open the pallets and began inspecting the parts within and placed a few on one of the workstations, as the part hit the table, many configurations slid out from the table and he slid his hand onto the table, tapping the surface to see what components lay within as well as other data*
Yet he was here, a large thick box under the ocean of a planet that is literally all ocean with only a few cities above ground. I will give that were I sent out to kill him, this would have been the last place for me to look, but it can't be all that feasible either can it? How do you maintain supplies, even food and the like without the Kaminoians noticing ships coming and going?

None of us are easily disposed of. And we picked a good place to hide, not a soul set foot in this place that we did not invite within. A deep and hidden sanctuary.
*Vermetus moved back over towards Phantom and the pallets he was examining. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he was last here. Being assassinated had that affect on a being. He gives his head a slight shake as he remembers just how long it had been since he had been in a bar. He kept his composure and kept his aura closed off. He looks down into the pallet.*
Seedy places are good for many purposes. I have frequented them often myself. Its been a long time since i've allowed anyone to notice me... and live to tell about it...So what did bring you all here anyways?

When he spoke of the books she turned with a slowness that could only be described as reluctance as she looked ruefully at the books. It was Phantom that taught me to read..... She walked slowly to him and ran her own hand gently over the books, her eyes distant and quite sad. In her mind flashes of her parents appeared. I wasn't allowed to read when i was a child... My-..... father had other uses for me, and he would brag that they didn't require education...... For a brief moment raw emotional pain showed on her face, but she quickly turned away from Ferinus as her features became like stone. This was the main quirk of Tyrana, She could be the happiest person in the universe all day long, but at the end of the day, Dark Lady or not, she was still a woman alone. She had only shared her true story with Phantom, although Ferinus had gotten glimpses of it in her panicked state on the submarine, but her mood shifted like the ocean of Kamino and she turned to look at him again with a smile, even if it didn't quite seem a real smile I've never really been one for reading...

**Ferinus listened, his lips thinning at the mention of Tyrana's story. Clearly, there was more to her than she let on. But then again, the same could be said for all of them. Phantom. Ver'metus. Himself. They all had pasts. They all had reasons to choose the life they now lived, just as Ferinus was certain Tyrana had hers.**
"Turning your head and changing your face won't hide anything from me, Tyrana."
**Ferinus touched the back of her head, gently cradling a few silver strands of her hair as he looked at her.**
"I have spent the majority of my life studying the mind. How it functions. How it is extended through the Force. How it can be used both as a weapon and as a shield."
**Ferinus brought his face closer to hers.**
"If I wanted to, I could send my own energies into your mind in a forceful invasion that would divulge your secrets without your consent. I would know exactly what you are hiding. Thoughts.....feelings.....secrets."
**Ferinus released the tuft of her hair.**
"But I will not. That is not conducive to this partnership and this team. I can't have vindictiveness fighting beside me. I must always know that the saber swinging beside mine will always be pointed away from me. I am certain you will tell me when you feel it is appropriate."
**Ferinus leaned his shoulder against the old bookcase facing her. His onyx eyes peered into hers unblinking, so that he could make this next point known.**
"Whatever your father did, however perverse or base, I am convinced he was doing you a favor. He was giving you fuel."
**Ferinus opened his palm and a black and purple flame shot out of the middle of palm, dancing to no apparent breeze.**
"Fuel for the fire within you. Pain and fear. Suffering and regret. Desire for vengeance. It is all kindling we pour on the altar of our very beings....to burn it into the weapon within us until we are the very manifestation of our rage....and the very spirit of malice."
**Ferinus closed his palm and the fire was extinguished. He then cocked a crooked smile at her.**
"But come. I am still in search of a very important artifact."
**He turned and beckoned her to follow.**
"I shall share a story freely with you. Have I ever told you the story of how I became a Sith Lord? If you can believe it, I was a Ji'Dai Knight myself once."
