Luxeria have a laugh with a shake of her head. ”Devote yourself to what you are looking for and if you happen across it, well, we’ll worry about that then. Just be careful down there." Before another word could be spoken, the call for everyone to report to the bridge came through. "Time to go. Hope you’ve stretched enough."
Standing to her feet, her hands moved to the pouches at her belt, the flap held open with her thumb and the opening widened with her pointer her finger, the orbs came to a halt before descending down into them, three in each pouch. Snapping them closed, she reached out and took hold of her lightsaber, gripping it tightly while giving it a final look over. She couldn’t help but admire it every time she took it off. Giving of a small breath, she clipped it to her belt before heading to the door, looking back as Vasari followed.

Vasari nodded slowly her smirk fading slightly when the intercom blared the A.I. telling them their time had come and to make their way to the bridge. Vasari pulled her cloak around her body and came to her feet, making sure her weapons were in place - the Saberstaff at her hip, and the several different knives she had secreted within the folds of her cloak and her skirt and gloves."Oh I've never stretched enough... but it will have to do."Following Luxeria out of the room she quickly slipped down the hall to secure the book in her trunk once again casting a glance at the Ring she had secured there reaching out for it slightly with an open hand. She wasn't sure why but she felt like she should take it... She hesitated for a long moment remaining still, her eyes focusing on the ring and the curve of the metal - the signet image... she took it all in. She blinked hearing something from the hallway - perhaps Luxeria waiting for her and growing restless, perhaps an illusion created by her own mind to distract her from the Ring, if even for a little while longer. She shook her head and closed the trunk - casting the locking spell once more and leaving... Meeting Luxeria back in the corridor she walked with her towards the bridge - wondering if everyone would already be there waiting for them.

Luxeria watched her as Vasari detoured to her own room, undoubtedly to replace her book. Opting to wait for her, she followed after her, albeit a few steps behind. Once Vasari disappeared into the chambers, Luxeria leaned against the wall just outside the door. At this point, when they were together, they typically where always side by side. As such, she saw no reason to proceed without her friend.
Waiting patiently, she began to wonder what was taking Vasari so long once a couple minutes passed. For putting her book away, it sure seemed to take awhile. As far as she could tell, the Zabrak had everything she needed on hand. The wonderment about the time taken was less from the time, however, and more towards the slight sense of distraction. It was only when she was about to head in after her that Vasari appeared again. She merely looked at Vasari for a moment before giving a soft smile. "You ready?”
As they walked, Luxeria thought on Vasari and the moment of distraction that she felt. Something wasn’t right, throwing her friend out of focus. It had barely been touched on when they were on their way to Coruscant, but Luxeria was picking up on a few things. From what she could tell, Vasari didn’t utilize the Dark-Side the same way as other Sith. She didn’t draw upon it and let it flow through her and any attacks that used the darkness moved through her more like a current than stored up energy, being drawn in and back out into the attack. Any time the woman did draw on the Dark-Side, there were changes that she noticed: inability to focus well, a slight loss of emotional control, even losing herself within her mind that she had to work her way out of that paralyzed her for a short while. When Vasari first arrived in her room, her emotions began to spiral out of control and her focus was almost nonexistent. This worried her and she hoped that her friend could overcome it, especially now that she was the apprentice of the Sith’ari.
Moving on in silence, they finally made it to the bridge. Outside of Viox and Harlan, none had arrived yet. Standing next to Vasari, she said nothing, knowing her presence had been felt. Unless she was spoken to, there was nothing that needed to be said.

Vasari had given her friend a slightly apologetic smile at the delay as they made their way to the bridge walking briskly. The entire way she had her hands crossed over her chest within her cloak - a near constant state for her whenever she was in space, the temperature regulation on the capital ships was kept much colder than her tastes for the sake of the electronics and computer mainframes - didn't mean she had to like it. When they made the bridge she stood next to Luxeria silently for a few moments, and then remembered how Xakire had always stood to Viox's right. Perhaps it was a sign of respect but she had always looked at the gesture with a smirk of distain, the same as she did the apprentices on Iridonia always trailing after their masters like lap dogs or bed slaves - Vasari was neither. She chuckled at the thought process biting her lip to silence herself before anyone really noticed. She did however curtsey slightly to Viox when he noticed the two of them enter.
Her eyes watched the hyperspace window they were traveling through. She felt much more calm then what she had felt when the ring had had its initial effect on her - and she knew she had made the right choice leaving it behind. Her gaze turned towards the view screen and looking between those assembled for any objection she moved towards the projection screen and accessed Felucia bringing up the planets map. Reaching up to the holo projection she spun the planet until the Jedi Base was accessible and then enlarged - projecting a full breakdown of what they believed the Base were to look like. She studied the base layout while waiting for the others - attempting to commit the map to memory.

Having spent the majority of the journey meditating in on the observation deck, he heard the summons to the bridge. Rising to his feet and donning his cloak, the armored Sith made his way to the bridge. Upon arrival, he noted that Petrovsky and the Sith'ari were already there. And the two female warriors from the War Room were also there. Taking a position up by the door, he leaned against the bulkhead frame and crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for the Sith'ari to issue them their final orders before the attack. At this point, their attack would either succeed or it would fail. But it made no difference to him. So long as he was able to inflict some sort of wound on the Jedi, this was a win for him, regardless.

As she sat piloting the ship through hyperspace an uncomfortable cool climbed up the girl's neck. She at last saw things as they were, or at least how her sleep-deprived mind told her how things were. As the space madness consumed her she muttered to the Raven
"It's all so clear to me now.... You're the Keeper of the Key!"
One could almost hear a farcical rendition of the background music from The Shining playing in the backdrop
"And I... I am the Lizard Queen!"
Thumb shooting up gesturing at Boland her voice rose to a frantic scream
" And he wants to kill us!"
Turning she leaving the ship unmanned
"I won't let him!"
Teeth bared she sprung at Boland sharp nails set to tear him apart
"I kill you now!"
As she made her move at Boland the Raven left her shoulder landing on a high staff. Boland caught all almost immediately and was on his feet crouched and ready. Taking the girl out in her present state of mind was not difficult and he slipped around her quite gracefully two giant hands grasping her neck. What would appear to many a choke hold was merely him applying pressure to the blood vessels of her neck. She went unconscious in a matter of seconds. Boland deftly snatched a pair of cuffs slapping them on her hands and laying the girl on a long seat. He quickly turned and took control of the ship. The Raven watched suspiciously but with all played out and the girl safe he finally swooped down landing on Boland's shoulder. Head turning several times towards the woman the Raven at last took flight landing a safe distance over Morrígu and took up sentry over her. And on they went with another agonizing pointless chapter in the tragic comedy that was the saga of Morrígu, Boland, and Fiach Dubh played out

For a long time did Malvus meditate as the massive battlecruiser moved through hyperspace to its destined location. All the while, the Jen'ari was gathering dark side energies to him, energizing the crystal within his body. For a while, it burned bright, delighted by the energy that coursed through its angular structure. The souls of those trapped within ever screaming in agony from the hellish prison they were locked in for all eternity. The Sith's eyes opened though, feeling the atmosphere on the ship alter as the Sith began to gather with their Sith'ari. Malvus calmly flexes his hands, letting the energy stored up, course through his veins before being locked away within the crystal heart of his.
The Sith was heard entering the bridge momentarily after the others arrived. He took his place beside Viox Savage as the Jen'ari of the Blackguard. His eyes glancing over at Luxeria, knowing he would watch her progress with great detail during this up and coming raid on the Jedi's headquarters.

Standing on the bridge, noting the arrival of all the other members of the Blackguard, Viox spoke calmly, addressing them with the plan in mind for the upcoming raid. It had changed a bit since the briefing in the War Room, but the general outline remained the same. Sowing the seeds of chaos and disorder among their enemy.
"These are the final moments before we strike. The calm before the storm. Captain Jayne and Major Kage will be pushing for the central archives. Any and all data available is to be taken for future review. It may or may not prove useful. Akrak, you will head to the dormitories. All occupants within are...expendable."
That final word slipped from his tongue with a sort of malevolence that most present wouldn't have witnessed yet. Regardless, he continued.
Malvus and Luxeria, a master and apprentice combination would prove useful in this situation. I recommend remaining together as there will be plenty of resistance. It will also give me an opportunity to assess your abilities as a team. Captain Jayne will have a handful of Zhaboka ready to assist and hold key locations for our extraction. Sobrius, you have remained silent throughout the entirety of this trip..." He pauses for a moment, gazing at the hooded man present on the bridge with an almost thoughtful expression. Something deeper was at work here, he could feel it, though the nature of it eluded him. "...which some might consider is indicative of a deeper, more personal connection with the Jedi Order." The Zabrak's yellow eyes narrow suspiciously for a few moments. There was something that Sobrius was not telling him. He was the most secretive out of everyone present, and Savage didn't particularly care for it. Breaking his gaze of the aged Sith, he continued speaking as if it was nothing. "...I will allow you do decide where and when to inflict the most pain on them. I trust you will do your job well. Apprentice..-"he spoke, eyeing up the young Zabrak across the room from him."-...your strength lies in seeking out knowledge, both known and forbidden. A library or reliquary is your target...aside from that, the general outline remains the same. Unseat the enemy by causing chaos and discord from within....I have taken the...liberty...of having a small gift prepared for all of you."
With a snap of his fingers, an officer approached, holding a sleek metallic case. Upon opening it, seated neatly within the red crushed velvet case, were wrist comms. Or so they appeared. Picking one up and activating it, Viox spoke once more.
"As most of you are undoubtedly aware of by now, I possess an A.I. capable of running each ship within my fleet on its own. Right now, it resides within this vessel, and will be assisting the crew in the upcoming engagement as well as being a key factor to our insertion. It also resides within these..."he said as he slipped the device over his right wrist."...and will be analyzing and scanning the Jedi base, creating a map for us to use as a reference once we are inside. Rampant will also be able to provide tactical data and information between all of us. Captain Jayne and Major Kage already have been patched in and High Admiral Petrovsky will also be listening in. A useful asset, considering the lack of intel we currently possess, but a necessity."
Motioning to the group to come take the wrist comms, he finished speaking.
"Once you are online, head to the hangar bay. Jayne and Kage will go on ahead and prepare us for departure. The Jen'ari and I need to have a word in private. We will be along shortly. Dismissed."
Kage snapped off a crisp salute, then strode out of the room, Jayne right behind him. As everyone collected their comms, Savage walked up to where High Admiral Petrovsky stood on the command platform overlooking the hypnotic blue swirls of hyperspace. Beckoning Malvus and Petrovsky to join him, he spoke to Malvus.
"We will soon be past the point of no return, Jen'ari. Our insertion has been planned. Between Petrovsky, myself and Rampant, the details and precision of the insertion will be taken care of...we will need something to mask our approach on the surface, however..."
Malvus was different this time around. Meeting him above Rhommamool, he felt more normal. Something had happened to him in the time between their first meeting and now. He wasn't entirely sure what it was, and the voices within his mind were being rather silent about it. He did know, that it changed Malvus, altering his abilities in some fashion, which made him unpredictable. And that was exactly what he needed right now. Eyeing up the Pureblood with a mild curiosity, he waited to see if Malvus would present an acceptable solution.

Eyeing up the Pureblood with a mild curiosity, he waited to see if Malvus would present an acceptable solution.
The Sith's attention turned though back to the Sith'ari when he was mentioned. Malvus would have to speak with his apprentice at another time as duty called for him to speak with Lord Savage. Once the others departed, the Sith calmly followed Viox to the command platform, joined shortly by Admiral Petrovsky. When the question was presented, the Sith spoke without even a moment of thought.What you ask for, Lord Savage, is something I have meditated on during our journey here. And I have thought up a couple solutions that could prove to be of use to us. One involving the space around Felucia and another on the planetside.Malvus approaches a holomap, bringing up the image of Felucia. The Sith quietly keys away, bringing up the Resurgent-class vessel on the holo-map and in front of the planet of Felucia.With the unknown defenses of the planet, I can utilize a strong Battle Meditation to craft non-existent vessels before the eyes of commanders and cause severe doubts in their minds. This technique will give us time to take out anything of great problem to us and without us being overwhelmed.Then, the holomap came closer to Felucia.The second idea, requiring that we have found out where the Jedi Temple is, conjure up a violent storm around the vicinity. So fierce that it may prove to be a double-edged sword. It will cause us problems navigating towards our insertion points, but it should mask our approach and prevent anti-aircraft defenses from riping us out of the sky.With that said, Malvus looks up at Viox and Petrovsky, wondering what they thought. |

Observing the red-skinned Sith as he explained acceptable methods of cover for the Blackguard's approach, he simply spoke, almost as if offended that Malvus would think he needed anything more than this ship to strike fear and doubt into the hearts and minds of their foes.
"With all due respect, Lord Malvus, but this is a Resurgence-Class Star Destroyer, supplemented, albeit reluctantly by an A.I construct. She is a top of the line warship. The very best the First Order has to offer. And unrivaled by anything the Jedi and crumbling Alliance can throw at it. With what our insertion entails, I believe distracting the enemy with these mirages is unnecessary."
The High Admiral motioned to the image of Felucia's surface.
"The idea of creating a storm on the surface, in the vicinity of the Jedi Enclave, however, seems tactically sound to me. While I have never fully accepted this 'Force' you use, I would harbor a guess and say that this storm won't be difficult for you or Lord Savage to navigate through. As the top military advisor for this task, I would suggest that is the best route to take. I am confident in my abilities as a naval strategist and the abilities of my crew when it comes to engaging whatever defenses they have. And we have the element of surprise on our side. They won't even see us coming, if this all pans out as Lord Savage seems to believe it will..."
The High Admiral trailed off, unsure of whether or not he overstepped his boundaries by stepping in the way he did, but if he had learned anything by observing the Sith'ari, it was to speak your mind, regardless of the consequences. Hopefully both Savage and Malvus would overlook his mildly insubordinate response. But it was his ship and his crew he was putting on the line to pull this off, which allowed him to justify the outburst. And, being part of the First Order, he technically didn't answer to either of these Sith. Or not Malvus at least. With Viox still being a Grand Moff, he did have to answer to him, though this was a Blackguard operation, not a First Order one. Either way, what needed to be said was said. All he could to was face whatever the outcome might be.

At Harlan's indignant outburst, Savage merely stared at the man. Impressive, he thought to himself, he's learning. He was unsure of Malvus' reaction, however. And the fact that he suddenly had the power to create illusions and storms. Something had clearly happened to Malvus, it was very evident now. But he still wasn't sure as to what it was. But at this point, as he had pointed out a few moments ago, they were practically at the point of no return. It was too late to question the abilities of his subordinates or his second. Each of them had been selected for a specific reason. And he trusted Harlan to do his job to the best of his ability. Glancing from Petrovsky to Malvus, he interjected before Malvus could speak.
"High Admiral Petrovsky, we shall discuss your newfound courage and the sudden development of a spine at a later time. Though he is right. You and I both know what these Resurgents are capable of. And we can navigate through the storm better than any instrument. Once we are in orbit of the planet, we will remain above the planet long enough for you to conjure up this storm, and then proceed with our insertion. I do hope you can do so rather quickly, Jen'ari, as this insertion is time sensitive. The moment any surface forces are alerted to our presence in orbit is the moment we lose the element of surprise and the chances of us making planetfall will begin decreasing significantly with each passing minute...it is risky, but I have faith in your abilities, Malvus. You wouldn't suggest something of this magnitude if you were unable to deliver when it counts. We will proceed with this plan. Admiral, to your post. Rampant, prepare countermeasures and begin masking our presence the moment we hit real space."
Looking from the Admiral, to the A.I's holo-pedestal, to Malvus, Savage nodded.
"And so it begins..."
He spoke those words with glee as a small smirk crept onto his face. They were moments away from emerging from hyperspace. Now it was do or die. And Savage had no intentions of dying this day...

Collecting the wrist comm and sliding onto his armored left wrist, he grinned beneath his mask. The dormitories were a juicy target. Anyone not capable of defending themselves would be relocated there once the assault began. Younglings, stewards of the Jedi Enclave, aides and other non-Jedi personnel. It was going to be a slaughter. And he was going to bask in every single, glorious moment of it. As the Sith'ari dismissed them, he began to make his way to the hangar bay, following the shiny golden armored trooper and the black armored Shadowtrooper. His task was simple and straight forward enough. Kill every one within the dormitories and destroy anything that stood within his path. This Jedi base would be nothing more than a smoldering ruin littered with the corpses of dozens by the time he was finished. Despite being encased in his armor, he was a formidable warrior. Though he was still driven by the way of the Sith. What the Blackguard and the Sith'ari were trying to accomplish eluded him. He didn't quite grasp the concept, and not for lack of trying. But being a Sith was hard-wired into his subconscious. Self preservation, self gain and self interest fed his ambitions above all else. Thankfully he would be going alone to the dormitories, therefore he didn't have to worry about anyone other than himself. Still lost in his own thoughts, he continued on to the hangar bay, eager to get to the surface of Felucia and begin the assault.

With all finally in attendance once more, Viox began to speak. While the majority of the plans he had laid out to them upon departure remained the same, further instructions had been given as well. In this case, she was being teamed up with her master instead of being given a different task. It was an odd feeling, to say the least. While she had been with him during the mission on Pzob, nearly every mission prior for quite some time had either kept her across the galaxy from him, like Mustafar, or entrusted with her own task, much like Kesh. The feeling it brought couldn't really translate to words. Was she thrilled at the chance to work beside Malvus in this endeavor? Or was there some lingering annoyance at being stuck with him and not getting her chance to go out and prove herself without someone who clearly held great power? Unable to actually grasp what the sensation brought, she pushed it from her mind. Petty distractions like that were nothing more than hindrances, especially with the coming mission.
When the wrist comms were presented and the crew dismissed, she stepped up to take hers before turning to make her way to the hangar bay. At the door, she glanced back at her master, who was asked to stay behind. While she never took things lightly, she was certainly not planning to slack off in this fight and would seek to prove herself and how well she had developed over the years under his guidance. Taking a breath, she proceeded on to the hangar with everyone else.

Vasari had been studying what plans they had of the Jedi Base and the surrounding areas she had been able to pull up from the old archives on the planet - separate from the rest of the group even as they began to assemble on the bridge and Viox began to speak. The layout was the same and even when Viox' gaze passed her way she did little more but nod in agreement to his assessment and command before moving back to the maps. There it was... that word. Spoken publicly for the first time - now everyone knew she was Viox' new apprentice and there was no going back from it - not that she wanted such, but still the public scrutiny of being the Apprentice of the Sith'ari was something new to her, she never stood straight under the public eye, but this time she refused to back down from it. When the wrist comms were present she looked at the thing and took it gingerly from its seated position upon the red velvet... flashy... gaudy thing that it was and cast a scrutinous eye over the device. A connection to the ships A.I. might come in handy and so she slipped it around her gloved wrist and turned her attention back to the room. She felt something powerful rising from Luxeria's Master, something strange and dark rising from his spirit, like a thousand voices suddenly cried out in terror... before being silenced forever - or at least that is what it felt like. Her eyes then turned to Akrak feeling the hate and veiled despair within him, he was dangerous - unstable - her eyes did not remain on him long.
She spent the rest of the meeting in abject silence until they began to file out one by one. The First Order admiral whom she had finally come to know as Harlan annoyed her. Any one of the assembled Sith could easily snap his windpipe as soon as look at him and yet he spoke his mind with such obvious disdain - she didn't like him. Her nose wrinkled in disgust when he spoke but she remained silent - such things might have been Xakire's specialty, but they were not hers - so long as the human did his job and didn't get them all killed she didn't care how he felt or what he said. When all had gone she moved finally to Viox's side crossing her arms over her chest, her voice echoing softly from her hood.
"At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi..."
The words were simple and did not quite form a question - but she had been wondering for quite some time what Viox ultimate goal was. Were they to remain under the heel of the first order forever? Did she have some scheme in mind to overthrow the Emperor? Was he simply going to slip by unnoticed? Some of those questions were answered when the raid on Felucia was called but others lingered. Vasari had no love for the First Order - a sentiment she had made quite clear when they had first met back at the Academy on Iridonia. She was just another Acolyte then. That was before he had taken her into the First Order - before her first mission - before she knew anything about the ways of the Universe. She still knew she had much to learn, and so she had submitted - for the time being. He was right about her... knowledge was more appealing to her than anything - it is what drove her - and Viox was a fount of that knowledge - both known and forbidden, and she would learn all he had to offer, and then take what he refused to offer freely.

Nodding to Malvus, Viox motioned for Vasari and Petrovsky to give Malvus all the space he needed. It was time for this to begin, as the ship exited hyperspace in Felucia's Orbit. It was time for the Blackguard to reveal themselves to the galaxy as a whole, and show everyone just how powerful the Dark Side still was...

A Wayfarer-class medium transport rapidly disappearing down the hyperspace lane like a bat out of Hell. The Wayfarer skyrocketed through hyperspace. Inside all seemed static. Laoch loafed about playing with the Intergalactic equivalent to a Nintendo gameboard, on which some tiny human racist stereotype fought senselessly with a giant hairy humanoid, while Ciarán wasted valuable time wrestling with the available data on the Dubh family. The big man’s jaw dropped as he read. At long last he spoke
-Ciarán –
“Laoch you moron do you realize what we have gotten ourselves into!?!”
Hand slamming on the table in front of him
-Ciarán-
“You gotta read this trash!”
Shaking his head
“We thought that we were mucked up!”
Left hand fluttering in the air
-Ciarán-
“Gandpa is a certifiable fruitcake.”
Both hands offered open
-Ciarán-
“They get in an argument over white bread vs brown with the babysitter and he wacks the sorry fool for disagreein!”
Eyes bulging as he looks down hand sweeping over the evidence in front of him
-Ciarán-
“Do you realize how many family members he personally greased?”
Lighting a cigarette took a strong pull. Exhaling both hands lock on the table
-Ciarán-
“Damn! Chopped his own daughter’s head off!”
Leaning forward
-Ciarán-
“That’s our auntie, in case you don’t know fool.”
Leaning back, eyes thinned he moved on giving Laoch no time to respond
-Ciarán-
“And you wonder why none of us knows our Daddy?”
Looking down with eyes thinned Ciarán counted silently as he counted. Lifting his face from the material to speak but Laoch, now lying on back playing videogames, responded
“But he loves us….”
Ciarán stared vacantly at Laoch, as if trying to figure out not what had been said but what exactly that was sitting in front of his eyes. Mimicked Laoch he waved his hands in the air and said in a child-like tone
-Ciarán-
“But he loves us.”
Eyes widen as lips purse
-Ciarán-
“Ain’t that even more frightening?”
Head swaying side to side spoke slow
“What he loves has a strong- real strong - tendency of suffering horrible horrible deaths.”
Ciarán now spent sat, both hands rubbing his face. Hand caressing chin he nodded
-Laoch-
“I don't know... Maybe they all deserved it…."
Catching Laoch’s eye again
-Ciarán-
“That’s exactly what I’m convincing myself of….”
Laoch's right hand brushed the air violently
-Laoch-
“I love the Old man.”
Ciarán did not ask how many people have said that before. He conceded, muttering two words
-Ciarán-
<<Me too....>>
Right there the argument stopped. Some say that to fool oneself a person must be intelligent. If that belief proved true both Laoch and Ciarán were geniuses at that very moment. And with that Ciarán was pulled from the place of deep examination of genealogical records and philosophical consideration of such slipping neatly back into the violent, fast-pace world that he knew and loved so well

The ship exited but what felt like mere seconds behind the other vessel but strangely was gone. Unrattled the pilot continued piloting... and searching for new adjectives
