Nicademus glances at the Imperial Knights and Stormtroopers present. The Knights bow while the Stormtroopers left quietly. The Grand General darts a glance at the medical droid who also leaves the room. Once the Imperial was alone with Davos, Nicademus would speak plainly. You exhibit powers of the Dark Side, Cadet. While you are on your granted leave, I suggest you go find knowledge of the Dark Side. Much of the Sith have gone underground, save those who serve in my ranks and hold positions. Korriban, one of the central planets of the Sith, was recently sacked by the Jedi. Two alternatives are to head for Ziost and Dromund Kaas.Nicademus reaches into his pocket and pulls out a datachip, setting on the medical table beside Davos.Ziost is known as the Gateway of the Empire, the old Sith Empire. It was adopted as a homeworld and capital of the Sith species before the rise of the Sith themselves and during. It is a known focal point of the Dark Side. Dromund Kaas was the capital of the resurgent Sith Empire, during the days of the Old Republic. Its atmosphere is filled with violent storms that were conjured by the Dark Side powers used by their immortal Sith Emperor. There are many Sith spirits upon those two planets that may give you guidance. He silently watched all other beingsand forms of being depart, he expected some tumultuous undressing by word; his neck jolted back and Davos blinked in surprise. Of all things he had not expected this kindness, and for a split second, was that a ruefull grin he saw briefly flash across Nicademus face.
His eyes narrowed and then he inclined his head, he had expected many a thing from this great man, leniency perhaps, but generosity....
On record he had played every inch the Commander, off record, oh how he had dealt most shrewdly indeed. Now Davos was indebted to Nicademus, should perhaps his labours or talents become fruitfully then the Commander forever held a small owance and thus a bargaining chip, the cost of which was anyone's guess.
His mind now having sorted through this information, he lifted his head to speak his thanks, but found only the tent flap rippling gently, moments later the medical droid teetered back in, Davos quietly palmed the data chit and closed his eyes.

*Gavin nodded. Sometimes such situations arose, leaving everything just a vague idea. At times, it threw a wrench into the even most well thought out plans.* "Is there going to be civilians there or has it become just a hold out for the remaining enemy? And where do you want us three? Do we need to wait until a certain time, or should we drop in first and raise hell before the troopers come in?" *He had to wonder just what the IGBC would be expecting. He was sure they weren't planning on three sole Force-sensitives to just start plowing through with destruction. It was possible it would cause a bit of a frenzy, especially if it seemed difficult to take them down. With that could come the troopers behind them, making their targets that much easier to pick off.* One can only hope that civilians remain out of the way, Gavin. If any remain, they are on their own. They chose to remain under a banner that is the symbol of tyranny and terrorism on this planet. A symbol of incompetence and greed, of selfishness and petty ambitions. My soldiers will not seek their death, but I will not simply halt the fight to let them run...The Grand General looks sternly at Gavin for a moment before returning to the plans at large. He fast forwards the plans to one of the later stages in the battle. From the looks of this plan, it was the final assault that would break into the vault spire and end this battle for good. At this point, Imperial forces would be lined in close proximity to the central location with the battered remains of the IGBC gripping the walls.You three will join me in the final assault, accompanied by Praetorian Group and a contingent of Imperial Knights. I want to be the one to severe the head off this snake and witness its downfall with my own eyes.A sign of my age no doubt, or maybe even a blessing of your youth Grand General Nicademus, yet still a meeting of great woe for those who would call themselves your enemy ... Darth Seth removed his hood as he approached, his eye were the color of dry blood and his skin a dark brown, he wore a mask of gold fangs molded after some savage beast with a black fabric between the open jaws that covered his face from the bridge of his nose down to his neck, he wore a black leather trench coat over a simple black vest shirt combo, with simple black fabric pants held up by a thick belt, and simple sandals that strapped up to his forelegs, he had a short black fro-hawk on top of an otherwise bald head. Darth Seth voice was monk smooth yet with a warrior's gruffness. For It seems Grand General The Dark side gathered around you like a focal point calling those faithful to its pull to pledge themselves to your service, a very powerful magic for one of no seeable force ability to posses, so I Darth Seth Lor Pelek would be pleased to remove the obstacles that would stand in the way your goals and destiny Grand General... *Darth Seth nodded his head to Nicademus and the battle plans he had just been reviewing * Nicademus looks at Darth Seth with a sort of blank expression. Deep down, the General smelled one of those deals; scratch my back and I will scratch yours. It had been the deal with every Sith that wanted to join his ranks. The Grand General slowly sets down his battle plans and looks at the Sith squarely in the face. After some moments of silence, the Imperial would shuffle the plans over to one of his attendants for reviewing.What is the price of allegiance, Darth Seth? Every Sith that has joined my cause comes with a price tag. Tell me what you want specifically in return for your services to my cause.You are dismissed, Cadet. Go forge your own path and do not deny your destiny...Without another word, the Imperial would depart the tent of where the Cadet was housed. Even among the commotion outside, the firm feet of the Grand General could be heard walking firmly upon the ground as Nicademus went about inspecting the damage and assessing reports from his security teams and the Imperial Civil Services. The General had more pressing matters now and the Cadet had been the wisdom that he had. If possible, Nicademus would have recommended his own mentor, but Darth Malvus had seemingly vanished from sight after the Imperial Remnant was assimilated into the Empire.

*It would be a terrible thing to watch civilians fall before anyone's blade. It had been that reason that before finding Anya, he went to the Jedi to help with. However, by what it sounded like, there would be few around. As much as he didn't want to see it happen, he knew Nicademus's words to be true. If they focused to much on civilian evacuation, the enemy had time to fortify or escape. If such a thing came to pass, he'd have to sort it out with himself later.
Gavin nodded though as he went on in the plan, speaking of how'd he be in the final assault once they were ready to move in on their target.* "Very well. We shall be ready for our attack."

*Darth Seth had too hold back a laugh, and the mask covered his smile an old habit but the nature of his question exposed the kind of sith who had come into his service so far, Darth Seth was Korunnai he was born into the dark side it was not something he stumbled into, becoming sith civilized that which was wild to him unlike most sith who have fallen to the dark side and are always questioning their morality , for him hunting in some deep dark jungle and making babies as his kill cooked was how he built power, but who could blame the man for being cautious of sith given the current circumstances darth seth thought .*
Grand General there is nothing tangible you can offer me, simply removing the obstacles that would stand in your way will please me, I am confident in that which comes naturally to those who are efficient in your service will sustain me, if I would ask one thing of you, in the interest of seeing you build a grander civilization than that of your predecessors, Invest in the intellectual passions of your people, the arts and sciences, seek to dominate and to rival as you build a new empire, and you never need question my loyalty

*Darth Seth had too hold back a laugh, and the mask covered his smile an old habit but the nature of his question exposed the kind of sith who had come into his service so far, Darth Seth was Korunnai he was born into the dark side it was not something he stumbled into, becoming sith civilized that which was wild to him unlike most sith who have fallen to the dark side and are always questioning their morality , for him hunting in some deep dark jungle and making babies as his kill cooked was how he built power, but who could blame the man for being cautious of sith given the current circumstances darth seth thought .* Grand General there is nothing tangible you can offer me, simply removing the obstacles that would stand in your way will please me, I am confident in that which comes naturally to those who are efficient in your service will sustain me, if I would ask one thing of you, in the interest of seeing you build a grander civilization than that of your predecessors, Invest in the intellectual passions of your people, the arts and sciences, seek to dominate and to rival as you build a new empire, and you never need question my loyalty The Imperial's eyebrow went up slightly at the surprising words by Darth Seth. No mutual benefit was requested, no demand of this or that, no bargaining or negotiating. This Sith wanted only to see the First Order flourish and rise to great heights. That would be his reward from what Nicademus could gather. From now, he remained silent, staring at Darth Seth for a good long time. Then he slightly chuckled, shaking his head out of disbelief, but it was something that the General was willing to take.If those are truly your words, Darth Seth, then I shall not argue with you and accept your aid to my faction. However, I am not entirely sure where to set up you and your assets among the forming ranks of my current government. Tell me, what are your expertise and resources, Darth Seth.

One more day, Davos lay back observing the overhead lights as though they might reveal something interesting, he sighed, one more day and he would be free, he twidled the cool solid data card in his hand as though this too might offer up answers by mere touch.
Questions ran around inside his head like rampant Bantha during mating season, but he could not quiet them and until he went digging he would not uncover answers by lying here, which is why it infuriated him that he was confined here under this green canvas tent, these same four walls.
What Davos did not know was that he was tied up in an intricate web, and then in came the spider.
[/ul] There was a furl and a ruffle as the tent flaps parted, there was no drama, for that would not become the man, he was quiet and methodical, there was no show, but how if he had wanted there could have been, no honour guard, no pomp, and there was something therefore more purposeful, direct and scary about the solitary well built figure.
Calibror, despite his age, the grey hairs and the wrinkles that etched every plan and thought into his face, was fit and strong and athletic. He hung at the end of Davos' cot gently exercising his leather clad hands before finally grasping onto the end of the bedframe like talons. He smiled a smile that was empty and never reached his clever eyes.What do you want old man? But Davos formed question never made it to his lips. It was always Calibror's way to carry out the small talk, he always attempted to dispense the air of wariness by asking seemingly normal questions, although Davos knew Calibror would know precisley how many days, hours and minutes Davos was to rest for until he returned to active, active what?The older man's eyes narrowed and his mouth drew into a thin line as he processed a thought, judging by the expression it must have been a sour one.Davos barely had time to respond, control of the situation lay firmly in the hands of his adopted Father who's position both within the growing Empire and as his Guardian few could argue with or over rule. Davos' mind was beginning to work through to providing an answer or reason he must remain or could remain, but any thought of a response remained as such. He remembered sensing a small piericng prick on the left side of his neck, the next thing his waking eyes would see would be the bright lights of an entirely different medical facility several kilometres upward of his current position.
Calibror silently oversaw his Son moved on a hover gurney into his shuttle, once aboard the craft was prepped, then its sleek polished form rose skyward and headed toward the orbiting Star Destroyer from whence the young Master Raim could be scrutinised and work could begin on crafting him so he could be set to work on materialising Calibror's greatest desire.

Darth Seth stood like stone threw out the silence, until the Grand General chuckled seeming to move closer to accepting his help, Darth Seth could not help but think of all the plants he had fought on during the days when he lead a massive army of sith and mandos, the forgotten empires he served with its forgotten sith king and Dark queen, the voices of now dead children singing his once deadly song, how he desired to hear them sing his deadly song once again. Darth Seth crossed his hands behind his back like soldier at ease before he gave his response
My fleet is incomplete only my flagship a Venator-classStar Destroyer is battle ready, and there are 20'000 troops in my household, As a Sith I am both a scientist and a warrior, I am trained and well experienced in the art of Warfare, as a strategic military asset to you I would be most effective commanding your troops on the ground given my skills as a tactical commander combining the art of battle meditation with sith tactics, also stabilizing people to a new master is much like taming wild beast to me. as a scientist I would be developing personalized weapons and armor for you and out of or for those who would server in your name, in short Killing, hunting or tracking things is always my preferences , 2nd teaching the arts of making sith is a speciality of mine or researching, 3rd governmental planning and civilization building, but ultimately uses me as you have need of force as you own

* Having landed his fighter in the directed hanger, Aeryn climbs out of the cockpit and down to the ground. Lifting his dark grey over his head, Aeryn walks towards the awaiting storm trooper escort. Keeping his senses open to his surroundings, Aeryn makes sure to remember details of the area in case things don't go as planned and he has to make a run for it.
Standing now in front of the lead trooper of the escort, Aeryn lifts his head up slightly so his frost blue eys can be seen from under the lip of the hood*

Nicademus calmly taps the edge of the console as he listens to the long-winded words of Darth Seth. The General, after a moment, turns his eyes to look upon Seth. He had many talents and expertise, it would be hard to find a proper place for such a man of many abilities. He strokes his chin slightly and sighs, allowing his gaze to glance over at the Sith.I have one other scientist in my ranks and I have granted him a planet to conduct his research. I have plenty of commanders and warriors at my side... yet your administrative abilities may be what I need. You have many talents, Darth Seth, it will be hard to find the right spot for you.* Having landed his fighter in the directed hanger, Aeryn climbs out of the cockpit and down to the ground. Lifting his dark grey over his head, Aeryn walks towards the awaiting storm trooper escort. Keeping his senses open to his surroundings, Aeryn makes sure to remember details of the area in case things don't go as planned and he has to make a run for it.
Standing now in front of the lead trooper of the escort, Aeryn lifts his head up slightly so his frost blue eys can be seen from under the lip of the hood* " Aeryn Morningstar, i believe your my escort " Without a word spoken, the Stormtroopers turn away and walk away from the hangar area. As they took Aeryn down some corridors, there was evidence of grand construction all around the Jedi. The surviving symbol of the decadent IGBC was torn down after their attempt on the Supreme Commander's life. A massive central area of the city was swept aside and construction of a very evident and massive military base could be seen from his view point. Muunilist was slowly, but surely, being imperialized for the future of the First Order.
The Stormtroopers would escort the Jedi into a makeshift office where Nicademus could be seen, seated and reading some reports. The office appeared to have been a balcony or lobby area. Since his main headquarters was still under construction, the Supreme Commander had relocated himself here. Near him were a trio of red-armored Imperial Knights who stood as silent guards. The Stormtroopers leave Aeryn with the Imperial who continues to read the reports silently for now. After a moment, he glances up and gestures for the Jedi to be seated if he wanted to.

* Aeryn follows the troopers into the General's office. Once inside, Aeryn's eyes quickly scan the room, it was simple yet sufficient. He liked that it was not a flamboyant show of status but a place of purpose and use. Aeryn notices the three red armored figures with lightsabers on their hips, "So they are using force-users" he thinks to himself. Through the force Aeryn sensed no danger, just cool calm from those in the office.
Taking a seat, Aeryn brushes his hood off with his left hand then places his black gloved hands in his lap. With his hood removed Aeryn shows his face to the General, his black hair slightly going over his pointed ears and his pale face made no impression of intimidation, but it was his eyes that the General would notice, eyes as cold as the blue frost the resembled. There was a purpose behind Aeryn's eye that only a man who has experienced death would understand. Looking into the General's eyes Aeryn speaks*
" Thank you for the audience"

*Darth Seth bowed his head taking the Grand General words as compliment, but it seemed there was no just right place in the ranks for him at the moment. Which could not help him think of all the times he made his own fit, damn he knew should he should have taken the servant girl this morning to curve the intense bloodlust he awoke with, lucky for him the mask covered his smirking face from his dirty thoughts, the force flowed through him as he would find his fit here using the time as slight pause to refocus himself before he responded*
Then I'v done well in my walk as a Sith, I feel your need for someone to make sure the gears are oiled and all the parts are working together efficiently, but trust is needed for such a role, and we have just meet, for now send me where you need the most impact, or where you need your enemies or subordinates to fear you the most, I am yours to command General

He slowly rises from his chair, adjusting his crisp officer's uniform for a moment before looking at the Jedi visitor. He waves his hand, dismissing the Stormtroopers that brought Aeryn to him. His eyes look over at Jedi sternly yet calmly.Some of my officers wanted me to blast you out of the sky, Jedi... they were once subordinates of Lord Sinistra, the predecessor that formed the most recent incarnation of the Galactic Empire. Yet if you came here alone, then you must have purpose for coming. Now I must ask why you have come, Jedi Aeryn.

** Aeryn lets slip a slight grin while looking up at the General, once the troopers exit the room Aeryn speaks *
" I wouldn't blame them for it, i have put down my share of Sinistra's followers in the past...i am sure having a Jedi Knight in their cross hairs would make them itch for a kill. To some in your Order I am what represents the enemy, and to some degree i would agree with them"
* Aeryn stands and reaches into the inner folds of his robes with his left hand and pulls out a small blood red crystal structure in the shape of a pyramid. Setting the object on the Generals desk, Aeryn sits back down*
" The jedi are fools to busy dealing with inner struggles between orders then to unite to protect the galaxy. I am here to renounce the Jedi and swear allegiance to you and your Order to bring about peace to the galaxy. I give my service for one thing in return, i seek the information on this holocron"

Yet there will be future battlefields that I will use you and your skills in order to render them extinct. For now, I would suggest you find yourself a place to settle and have your crew get some relaxation time. A new world is about to unfold and you, among others, shall bask in its glory soon enough.* * Aeryn lets slip a slight grin while looking up at the General, once the troopers exit the room Aeryn speaks *" I wouldn't blame them for it, i have put down my share of Sinistra's followers in the past...i am sure having a Jedi Knight in their cross hairs would make them itch for a kill.

His eyebrow went up slightly; a holocron. The last time the Imperial had seen such an object was when he was a decade or so younger and under the tutelage of the Sith that ensured his rise to his present status. Calmly the General turns his gaze to the Jedi.How interesting, Aeryn... to renounce your vows and oath to the Jedi Order, calling them fools and the sort. Yet why did you come to me with this holocron? I am no force user after all, a commander of men and a leader of armies I am.

* Aeryn points over to the three red armored figures standing behind the General.*
" The reason is right there "
* Aeryn leans forward setting his elbows on the Generals desk and folds his hands together, he looks the General in the eyes when he speaks*
" Just because one can manipulate the force does not make them powerful, what a makes a person powerful is what he can inspire others to do...your three guards behind you would not hesitate to die for you, nor would a single soldier or person under your command question an order given. Everything done in service to you, in order to make a better galaxy. Its because of this I trust in your vision and in you"
* Aeryn leans back in his chair and places his hands in his lap*
" I have traveled for years trying to find someone who can unlock that holocron. I know you have the resources to find someone who can, if that is something that can be done i would be forever in your debt. A debt i would repay in service to you and completing the mission of the First Order"

Nicademus glances over at the holocron placed upon his desk. His gloved hand reaches over, picking it up gently and examining it closely. He suspected that the Knights of Ren or any number of the Sith and Imperial Knights present could unlock the secrets of this holocron. His gaze would turn to Aeryn after setting the pyramid object down.
I do have the personnel and resources that could potentially unlock the secrets of this holocron. Although, they are of different... force natures. Nonetheless, I bet they could figure out the means to unlock it. I will see that the necessary personnel are assigned to finding out its content.

Nicademus calmly reaches over for the holocron and takes it into his hands once more. His eyes glanced over at the construction in the background of his office, the construction of the First Order's Strategic Command center. It would become the heart of his regime and of the First Order. The Imperial turns back to look at Aeryn.
For now, report to the temporary headquarters of the Imperial Knights and get yourself suited up.
