Valstrol begins to walk back to the drop zone with the curious woman following him. He doesn't pause in his stride when he responds to Dice who seemed more cheerful of the pair.
Valstrol Horica. You may also call me Darth Malvus or Lord Tarkin.

Dice hurried after Valstrol trying to keep up with the much longer legged male.
She was just thankful she wore flat shoes instead of shoes with tall heels. She probably would have broken her neck if she had been wearing stiletto's and walking as fast as she was.
"Valstrol..."
Huh....Wait Darth? Dice shook her head at her mental musings

As the Sith returned with Dice in tow, the Captain once more approached Valstrol and bowed his head, gesturing to the gate they were working on.
My Lord, we have found a grid that we have been unable to pass. It may take a few hours to decipher it.
Valstrol's eyebrow twitches slightly as the Sith grits his teeth. He pushes the captain aside.
Move out of my way! Clearly we need to do a forceful entry. And that's why I am here.
The troopers moved to a safe distance now as the Sith approaches the gate and closes his eyes to meditate for a moment. He needed to conjure up enough Force energy to rip the entry way apart. His patience had run out with these specialists.

Dice almost, almost snickered at the look on the captains face. And it was entertaining to see Valstrol irritated. The dark siders always seemed to have the shortest of all tempers.
Dice rolled her eyes as Valstols words registered in her brain. Yep and males always had the bigger egos.
"So that whole hacking didn't work?"
Because patience failed him...

The troopers looked at the woman who spoke up then turned their gaze to the Sith who remained quiet. After a few moments, Valstrol let out a deep breath. The Sith Lord slowly stood up and positioned himself in a stance with both arms stretched out. Valstrol's eyes then opened as he turned 180 degree and thrusts both of his hands outward. In two different spots, between the sealed doors, two loud thuds were heard as indents were made upon the unscathed metal.
A loud groaning was heard as slowly one of the doors was being peeled away with the unseen power of the Force. The door groaned and creaked as the hinges flew off and the bolts that kept it in place broke and bent. Valstrol struggled, but kept his focus till the door was bent far enough that people could walk in. The Sith then released the door and move back a few steps as the twisted metal frame fell to the ground. The troopers just stood there quietly till the Sith's gaze was upon them.
Alright! Get in there and secure the perimeter now!
The troopers didn't speak another word as the Imperial regulars went into the place and began securing the lobby, making sure there wasn't any surprises waiting for them on the inside.

Dice doubled over laughing, the whole thing it was just funny!
With a menacing boss as they had you would imagine they wouldn't need any reminders to do their jobs, but alas they didn't.
After catching her breath, and in between giggles Dice commented again.
"Hope you didn't waste too much money on them."

Who said I was paying for them? The Governor of Eriadu lent me these troops once I got permission to raid my uncle's estate.
Valstrol twists his arm slightly, letting his shoulder muscles relax as the Sith enters the facility. He looks around as he enters the Tarkin Estates. No longer filled with sound, only the clicking of boots from its visitors. His gaze looks around some more, pausing for a moment.
Memory serves right...the Vault would be...that way.
Valstrol points down the main corridor in front of them. The captain nods and motions for his squad to follow.

Dice trotted behind him.
Jeeze someone needs to shrink him down I can barely keep up.
Dice suddenly started smiling, not an innocent one. "You can hear everyone in here...Noisy males always noisy." Her shoes were softer, and didn't make the same tink tink's as everyone elses.
"Must of been humbling to realize you needed help to get in here huh?"
And such a waste of time, are they even doing anything? Oh hey shiny object, oh is pretty and blue and ooooh.
Dice glanced at Valstrol is he looking? Its so pretty...He said not to touch, did he mean don't touch as in don't touch or don't take? I mean Im not going to steel it I just wonder how something so pretty can be so cold...

A couple troopers noticed the movement of the woman and her words. They both looked at each other curiously. One raises his hand, looking at Lord Horica.
Sir?
Don't even ask, trooper, just do your job.
The two then went back to work. The Sith paused in his stride and glanced in the direction of Dice who was eyeing something within a case. He growls lowly. His fingers moved slightly as an invisible hand grips Dice's arm, preventing her from getting any closer.
I said...don't touch anything. Don't even think of it. A lot of these are priceless artifacts that I want to keep in one piece. Doors and security measures can easily be repaired, but artifacts like that one cost an arm and a leg to find.

"Hey watch it pal."
ITS A GHOST...Oh its him right. "I wasn't going to break it..."
An arm and a leg, now why do I get a mental image of someone running down this hall beating someone with a leg?
Dice turned and stuck her tongue out at the trooper with his hand raised.
"Tattle tells.."

A soldier then comes back from inspecting one of the branching corridors.
My Lord, I believe its down this way.
Valstrol turns away and follows the trooper towards a corridor that was rather wide and descended a full level down. The Sith walks up to one of the walls, examining one of the panels which opened to him.
Just as I thought, security panel. Seems its running at half efficiency.
He opens up the bottom of the console and gets to work with some wire adjustments. The troopers stood at the end of the hallway, keeping a look out for now. What Valstrol was wondering about was where were the security droids? He knew his uncle installed them, but why had they not responded yet.

For a guy that paranoid a minute ago about me touching something he sure just leaves me anywhere.
Dice strolled after Valstrol and his posse much slower, looking at everything.
"Huh whats this?"
It looked like a statue? Armor on a stand? It was in a recessed alcove. Dice peered at it but made no move to touch it.
"Wouldn't want any annoying ghosts trying to cop a feel."
Dice rolled her eyes and looked in Valstrol's direction.

You know I can hear you, Dice.
Valstrol pauses for a moment, glancing in her direction before going back to the wiring. At least he was making process. However, his senses suddenly tingled and the Sith sat upright. A trooper looking down one corridor blinks when he noticed something move.
Contact! Fourth entry down the hall, too fast to see what it was.
Valstrol slowly stands up and makes his way to the main corridor from the side one they were in, looking down the direction the trooper was looking.
Seems they weren't deactivated after all. Keep your wits about you.

"HAH! That last comment got your attention... Wait you can hear me that far away and Im not even talking loud.. Yeah Yeah wits he says wits, like I lost any of mine."
Dice turned her head to look at one of the troopers when it moved. Or at least it looked like it moved.
Dice shook her head, I must be loosing my mind.
"So is this an artifact or is it something else? Mr. Touchy..."

Valstrol looks in the direction of Dice, noticing what she was point at. He reaches underneath his cloak to retrieve his lightsaber, keeping his eye upon the seemingly deactivated machine.
Dice, step this way now. That isn't an artifact...
The captain looks up to see two shadows moving along the upper level. The same trooper noticed the same shadow from before, jump across to the other side. Then another shadow replace the one that moved across the hallway. The captain looks to the Sith.
Sir, I think we got company inbound. Sensors aren't picking up anything, but I am seeing shadows moving above us.
I have noticed at least two additional sources of movement down this hallway, Captain.
Alright, boys, lock and load. Stay in formation.

Dice stilled, she reached for her pistol strapped to her thigh.
"So the cost more than an arm and a leg? Because its pretty ugly." Though she had hoped it would sound funny she didnt find it funny at all.
Dice moved slowly towards Valstrol trying not to turn her back to the machine and she looked up spotting the ones above.
"Well I found a use for all those troopers..."

Valstrol remains quiet for a moment. Then suddenly, a lightsaber is ignited, followed by a clash of plasma and metal...followed two pieces of a droid fall behind the Sith. He kicks the torso and examines it.
IG-86 sentinel droid. These are antiques of the Clone Wars, but still deadly as their later model, the IG-88s. Uncle Cygnus always enjoyed his antiques.
At that moment, the sounds of several more were heard as the Sith looks above. At least four of them were descending from above at once. The captain ordered his soldiers to open fire. Valstrol looked to the left to see two more advancing. He rushes to secure to the left flank with a force push to one and a force lightning to another.
The model that Dice had seen before slowly activated itself and began to advance upon her.

"Oh sure I do what he tells me and Im on my own anyway."
Dice rolled her eyes.
"Well its a good thing Im not a damsel in distress well not usually."
With that Dice took aim and fired.

The model was hit by her blaster, but didn't seem phased at all by it. If there was one thing about these droids, it took a lot to take them down. The four descending from above soon became two as a pair of them were eventually destroyed by almost a full clip of ammo. The IG-86 that Dice had fired it revealed its own blaster, but a lightsaber swept past her and cut off its weapon arm, giving Dice a chance to fire again.
Valstrol recalls his lightsaber with the force, cutting down a third descending IG-86 as the blade flew through the air like a boomerang. One of the troopers was blasted in the face as the fourth landed and it shot another in the shoulder before being subdued. Two of the troopers then peeled away and began firing upon the two that the Sith was dealing with. The captain turned his blaster to help Dice on their right flank.
