Farris frowned when Sinina asked of the problem he was having. It was a long story and right now wasn't the time for it- because....Another ship was approaching with weapons. So, what did the ingenious Firrereo do? He shot the offending ship.
...
With his own ship...
Farris ducked as the craft flew over head, colliding and exploding, plunging in all its fiery glory- into the lake beyond. But something else had plunged into the River.
Sinina!
The Polydroxol shouted, as he began sprinting to the shoreline. But- miraculously, the crazy Mr. Fox had turned about- in his frantic escape, to rescue the Echani. Inwardly, Farris was grateful. Swimming was not his best talent. He could survive in water just fine- but, being very mobile .....well that was another story. His structure was far too dense to swim like a normal humanoid- not to mention the many heavy weapons he packed...within himself. He'd sink like a duracreet brick. That was not to say he couldn't have rescued her himself- it would just been a little more awkward.
He stood on the shore and watched as the two met Adieumus and Raven in the Lake. So- it seemed the situation had shakily resolved itself, even though Jashin was swimming away from the trio. Matango and Alora could take care of Sinina- because as he turned his head, he saw the distinct form of the massive Loki, hunched over Anna's supine figure- a sleek whip with an advanced weapons array and an armored man just entering it- The polydroxol didn't have to think too hard about what had happened here, and part of him wanted to go plowing into the ship and take on the man who had harmed the young Seer and her Zabrak companion. But the instinct that kept him alive so long, spoke to him again.
Farris- while very lethal in his own right- was not a force user- and was only one being. Some how, this man would overpower him, and he was no use to anyone dead. However, Anna's condition was paramount now. Apparently- from their burn marks, Lightning had been involved. The polydroxol shivered, recalling what force lightning felt like- at least to him. Calmly, tempering his deep anger at the situation, Farris approached Loki and Anna. He looked down at them and spoke quietly.
We should get inside. I should look at her as quickly as possible if we're to salvage her nervous system.

::Query: Armory? Negative. The search word does not have an entry in my databanks.::
N4-B0B clicked and whirred, as he tried to find the next best response to the question. To any normal, functional droid, the question would have been rather easy to answer. To NaBob, however...the long years of solitude at the villa had given him some...quirks. Routine maintenance was obviously not a top priority, and the droid was definitely in need of a tuneup. Entire portions of his memory banks were, for lack of a better term, slightly corrupted. In comparison, a human would be considered a hermit...and NaBob, being programmed to deal with humanoids in direct contact, was left to himself at the villa for several years. The lack of interaction caused a few short circuits in his head, and produced what Dominic saw before him.
The droid took a moment to formulate an answer that he felt was the closest thing to a proper response to the question.
::I can go into the kitchen, and try to find you something to eat. I am not sure what I can make, as the supplies stopped coming roughly 1866.43 solar cycles ago. I am sure, however, that I may find something suitable.::
The droid kind of nodded his head, cocking it to one side. A spark popped from the right side of his neck, and the droid jumped...almost as if he had hiccuped. N4-B0B's head twitched, and his right eye started to rapidly blink. After a quick moment or two, the droid righted itself, and looked at Dominic again.
::My designation is N4-B0B. Do not let me anywhere near a kitchen, I tend to burn things down. How may I be of service?:: As if the droid had never seen Dominic before, he reintroduced himself.....
He fit this misfit, hodgepodge of a spaceship crew perfectly.

' it’s quiet around here… too quiet' how rightly correct i was, it had seemed like days since the accident (although in reality it was an hour or so at most) and spanning the entire path of the island neither the soldier, my companion nor myself saw any trace of the offended ship or her crew. the sun was starting beginning to descend from noon’s height I noticed a lone structure on the northern most point of the Island. and with the logic of ‘if we are going to make this right, we might as well set up’ i convinced Jim to allow Puck and I to take up the shelter as ‘residence’<< Coomfy>> was the first thought as Puck dashed into the room and curled up on the sofa before promptly taking a snooze. meanwhile Jim and I took off our packs before we went around the room examining details.
Jim was observant… i was curious.
“ Do you think these are lens screens on the glass? to project the view of an endless sea? I am pretty sure i could see the other shore from outside…” but Jim paid me no mind as he finally took off his helm in a move that i thought put him in a more relaxed form.“ Alright… so this glass cabana is not all there is to this suite. hidden panel near the entrance reveals a ladder to bed/bath/kitchenette… also this unit is connected to the others by underground passageways. clever thinking.” “ So… where are the others?” “ Dunno, i will go looking for them… you stay back here. i will check in prior to returning to the ship before nightfall.” “ You aren’t going to stay here?” “ This place… is a little too comfortable for me. but…” he reached down and pulled out a small box, tossing it my direction. inside was a commlink aged so long that any applied color was drained from it. “ …if you need me use this. old covert device the Grandmaster designed. primary function was covert transmissions. this model… well right now it only has Ping… so you will have to do some work with it.” “ Are you giving me busy work?” “ No. though i do expect to see your upgrades for it complete before we leave.” I wanted to impress him a bit so I took a conjuring stance, right hand with two fingers raised, left fist against the remaining fingers and palm and bowed over it. a smirk appeared on his face and as he remounted his helm and left he flashed me a “v” with his right hand in response. alone by my thoughts I meditated in the light of the sun as to how to fix this com piece=undeterminable hours later=
“ So if i use an inverse Hy-ten formula as the basis for the operating system…” * Buzzer* “ Ok, i am really getting tired of that buzzer”
<<Cat’ me Daddy!!!>> The sound startled me as i watched Puck jump through the opened hatch down to the chamber below, interrupting my thoughts. It took me only one hour and 30 mins to realize that my mental state was easily disrupted and i caught on that with the view i was liable to waste the day staring out the window, so for productivity sake i had retreated down the hatch to the bedroom and as sitting on the bed with my Terminal trying to handwrite out the code to restore the original software before i looked at a complete system rebuild. with my nerves frayed from hearing a buzzer of an incorrect program too many times before i was not in quick enough to ‘catch’ puck…
But the doll was ever playful as it hopped up onto the bed and under my hand, knocking the terminal down in the process.<< Why didn’t you cat’ me?>> “ I didn’t know you had woken up… plus you kinda announced yourself while you were in midair.” i scratched behind his right ear.<< I heard a noise, and came to check it out.>> it jumped off the bed and padded over to the door. << It smells like cousin yummy is near>> “ I have a cousin?” this was puck we were talking about. there were still many stories of the other Monte that i was left in the dark about… so for me to have relatives that i wasn’t aware of didn’t surprise me too much. i threw on clean clothes from the hamper and opened the door to watch the doll race down till it bumped headlong into a stuffed Wampa. I could only ass|u|me that it was sniffing the “aura” of the doll… but with Puck i could never be sure<< Defini’ely Yummy, Defini’ely Definitely… whi’ room she in?>> ' So ‘cousin yummy’ was a she?' “ uh… can’t you sniff that out?” i awkwardly teased as i reached down to collect the toy.<< Can, wan’ you to.>> This was the other part of Puck. while i had taken to using the holocron and Puck’s crystal to train myself and become… like the Other Monte… but Puck seemed to take it upon himself to train me in new powers, like this sense/psychometry one that he was currently on. I had previously used the skill to color the aura of soldiers to avoid paths they had taken.
focusing my mind on the aura the doll had (from being a personal favorite of it’s owner i saw a path that lead from my hand to the spot it had lay… then up a wall to an impact point then cross the hall to a door… which Puck was already pawing at.
“ I thought you wanted me to do this” << i di’ you di’… i jus’ do too>> I shook my head and briefly extended my aura until it met the occupant in side.. to confirm that yes, the person inside was the one that threw the doll.. then i wrapped on the door to alert the occupant
-Knock, knock, kno-knock, knock-
"What the hell is that?!?"
Eya laughed and shook her head, while she headed for the door."It was just someone at the door, relax"Smiling, she opened the door to find a guy and a stuffed animal that seemed to be alive. She had a 7 inch clone that liked to roll around in her bras, nothing could surprise her anymore. At closer inspection of the guy, he kind of looked familiar, but different at the same time. She knew she saw this face before but she was failing to grasp at where. Then she remembered seeing old pictures and it clicked into place. She made movements to wrap her arms around him, in an attempt to hug him, should he allow it. "Uncle Monte! What are you doing here?"She backed away from him and smiled and looked him over."What happened to you, why do you look this way?" |

Time seemed to almost run in fast forward as he staggered his way towards the scimitar. His goal, imperative, to reach the ship was all that consumed his thoughts as he made footfall after footfall. Then, without warning, a burst of Force energy struck him and he was sent into a lurch towards the ramp of his ship as it splayed out in front of him. With a spin and a grunt of disapproval he fell against he fell hard against the metal ramp and glanced up towards the sky as a ship he had never seen before flew up into the air and collided with another, a brilliant explosion lighting up the darkening sky. With his mind freed from the thoughts of escape, drawn towards the explosion and encroaching presence of Adieumus himself, he made a quick motion with his fingers over the holoboard in his palm and the turrets of the Scimitar turned sharp targeting the boat as it came gliding across the water towards the shore. It was now or never but as he registered the targeting of the boat, he realized something much more devastating. MICRO would be with Adi and it was that quandary that needed a resolution. A swift resolution deserving of an answer.
Fumbling to his feet as the pain coursed though his body Kaja climbed the ramp into the ship and towards the pilot's chair, but rather than taking the ship fully into flight he turned his attention to a small panel to his right. A panel that he knew would be the solution to the problem that was served by MICRO's presence. With a swift flush of button strokes and holo sequences the male android came to life, stumbled free from it's hold and stood mindlessly before him. ”Activate transfer protocol.” He bellowed through his vocal translator, ran his fingers over the holoboard once more and watched as the blank stare of the android was replaced by one of pensive contemplation for enough time to allow him to turn to Ariela and Ra'Mira as they joined him in the pilots deck.
With a nod, a point of his finger and muttering of a command the two grabbed the android by it's arms and carried it to the ramp. ”The transfer is in progress, send them our parting gift.” He commanded, watched them push the android free from the ship and off it's ramp then tactfully brought he ship up and off the ground into a steady level hover. Just enough that he could angle a prime shot off at the boat containing Adieumus and Alora, but not enough to obliterate it entirely. "You were always the one to answer the call with swift action, Matango,” he breathed and set the cannons to automatic fire. ”But I'm afraid I have to remove your pieces from play.” That said, a vicious blast of ionic energy ripped from the forward cannon and tore through the air at the small boat. A precise but intentionally misdirected shot would crash into the ship, and if it were effective, send both Raven and Adi flying from the ship. It was not a lethal shot, but meant as a parting gift. "And so it ends.” He breathed and brought the ship further into the air and towards the atmosphere. His ascent was slow, intended so he could watch the damage he intended to unleash on Adi and the rest of the crew, a vicious and sadistic smirk crossing his lips.
"Ariela, search your data banks for anything on the man you fought on Etti IV. Once we've regrouped with Thrael we have a new destination.”

Dominic... raised a very high eyebrow at the droid. What in the world was this thing's problem?! How was it possible that something was this... gone? In disrepair? He didn't know much about robotics, but he could probably figure him out and clean him ou-
The whole building seemed to shake. Something exploded outside, deafening screeching of metal and fire. Even through the walls, The Agent could feel heat from outside. He turned around and drew his gun, and started sprinting back to the front door, and as he reached the door, he had no clue what was going on. A huge ball of fire and metal fell into the lake, a ship was flying away and there was a commotion going on with Loki and some others. What happened?
He jogged over to the group, heading straight for Loki. "W-.. what just happened?!"

*Sinina frowned, "don't thankme," why not. Selfish? What was selfish about rescueing the friend of someone you are delivering a message to? She shakes her head, whatever, the thanks had already been said. It was too late. She reached up, sliding her silver hair back and away from her face, it was saddening, she'd spent so much time to get ready, to look so nice, and now she looked like a drowned wookiee. She wanted to disappear into a deep dark hole. Then the pirate tells her she'd look good in gold, she looks at her dark grey skin, then up at him, she wasn't sure what to say.. She was even more surprised that when he grabbed for his shirt and coat, he instead of keeping them to himself tossed them at her and told her to cover up. She was at a complete loss for words.
She did at least do as she was told, and pulling the coat around her shoulders, and holding it around herself, now that it was dark, being in soaking wet clothes out on the water, it was a little chilly. She holds it around herself tightly. She frowned and looked up at the other craft, just then being aware of who was on it, Adi and Raven. Well. That was a pleasent surprise to see them here. Though.. the Pirate didn't seem to think so, as he breaks into curse again, man... He cursed more then she does! She waited for him to finish, then without any warning he was off, diving again, and swimming away. Just now where was he going! For the love of all things yellow! She bites her lip softly as she looks up at them, Their ship looked way better then the makeshift raft, she shakily tries to stand up on the crates looking at Adi meekly.*
Permission to come aboard?

One moment they were barreling toward the shore at full speed, then Raven was screaming for them to look out. Adi jerked the controls to the right, but still struck something that was in the water, ricocheting away off to the right. The impact took out one of the engines, and the boat slowed dramatically.
"What the KRIFF was THAT?? Sonuvakriffin POODOO!!"
There was a ship on the shore, and Adieumus recognized it immediately. It was Kaja's Scimitar. It was powering up, and from what he could see, there was someone approaching the vessel. Considering the individual was in full armor, it was immediately apparent who it was....Kaja, of course.
"MICRO!! Prep the EMP pulse. We are gonna hit the beach at full tilt. I need you to get close enough to the ship to shut it down."
::Five-by-five, sir!::
Unfortunately, however, even as the Arkanian made a beeline for the beach, there was a...hiccup in the plan, so to speak. At least that is what Adi would probably refer to it as later.
There was a massive explosion in the sky. Two ships had collided, and both exploded, crashing into the tranquil lake, and sending a massive wake at the half-speed boat that rocked it, nearly throwing its occupants into the water. MICRO was tossed into the middle of the boat, where he landed on his feet...and was immediately soaked to the synthetic skin from the amount of water in the bottom of the vessel. He jumped up onto the seat behind Adi, as the Arkanian strained to keep the craft upright.
It would all be in vain, however. Kaja apparently had other plans.
It all happened in slow motion. A half second before the laser cannon trained itself on their boat, Adi felt a twinge of something...the force tugged at him, pulled him...and told him to move. He didn't even try to figure out why, but he went into a veritable blur, fully immersing himself in force speed. In a single motion, he grabbed MICRO, and dove at Raven, pulling her with him over the side of the boat as the burst struck. They splashed into the water, Adi pulling them down far enough to get clear of the exploding boat. He felt the shockwave rip through the water, thumping into him, and knocking the wind out of his lungs. He looked up, and saw that the water above them was clear of flames. Maneuvering Raven so that he could push her toward the surface, he shoved MICRO into her arms. For just a moment, he looked into her eyes, and then up with a nod, telling her as best as he could what he was going to do. With a force-enhanced burst of strength, he pushed her upward, hard enough to ensure she surfaced, and also not hard enough to harm her. He knew he could hold what little bit of breath he had for a decent amount of time, so he knew he would be ok until he could swim up, but he wanted to make sure that she was safe first.
Righting himself, he began to swim to the surface himself, pushing hard against the water, and kicking his feet as hard as he could. Just as he felt he couldn't hold his breath any longer, he felt his face break the surface. He took a massive gulp of air, and immediately began to cough. Flaming debris was strewn all around them, small slicks of oil burning all over the place. The flames threw light enough around for Adi to see that Raven had indeed made it up to the surface, holding MICRO close to her chest. He swam over to her, looking her over to see if she was injured.
"Are you ok, Raven??" In the distance, about twenty meters away, Adi saw what they had hit. It was a floating mass of crates, with someone floating on top of them....Someone that looked like Sinina....But why was she out on the lake in the first place?? This was getting more and more confusing by the passing second.
"Gregory, you good?"
::Considering the circumstances, Sir....I'd say I'm rather smashing. I'm a wet pussy in the middle of a lake. Every fiber of the cat programming is screaming in disgust right now.::
"Run a scan. Is everyone still alive? And who is that floating on the raft out there?"
::Sinina, Sir. And everyone is alive, but there -are- some apparent injuries. Master Loki has a highly elevated serotonin level, Miss Anna has burns over her body, and her nervous system has experienced a traumatic shock. Extended visual scans are that Loki has her protected. There is also another unidentified individual in the water near Miss Riso. He does not show in any of my databases.::
"Ok, at least we are all still kickin'. I think we should..."
::Sir I....Someone is...trying to transfer me into...some...Syst...fail...::
Grabbing the cat from Raven's arms, Adi kept himself above water by kicking his legs. The droid began to twitch, and shake violently.Then, to Adieumus' horror, the cat again 'spoke'
::Mrrrooowww?:: It was the base programming on the droid. It was basically asking who it was, and what it was supposed to do. Gregory...was gone....Adi had not seen the android being pushed out of the rear hatch of the Scimitar as it had taken off. He had been too concerned with Raven, and the rest of the team being all right. Now, it looked like the one that had confirmed that the rest were indeed still alive, had been taken away from Adi. Somehow, some way, he knew it was something that Kaja had done. It could only be him...only he would be twisted enough to attack a CAT.
"You will pay for this, Kaja....With your life. I will find you....and when I do? I will destroy you. This is the last time you harm ANYONE that I care about. For all you have done, I will bring your end to you. That is a solemn promise....Sith." He didn't care if Kaja couldn't hear him....It was more a promise to himself that Adi was making. Holding the cat droid crooked in his left arm, he turned again back to Raven. "We need to get Sin back to shore, and MICRO as well. Can you take him with you, and I'll go get her?" He held out the 'blank' cat replica droid to her, and waited for her to reply before he would swim his way over to Sinina.

*Sinina frowns, the noise was definitely familiar, a ship was shooting, but before she could really react, the ship she was looking to get on board of... was blown up.. the water rippled from the explosion from the other boat, and as she had stood on her crate thinking she could abandon them and board with Adi and Raven. When the water ripples out from the blast, her crateraft rocked hard. She was not balanced well to begin with. She was still injured. She was still recovering from drowning. She loses her balance. She looked about to fall into the water again... But in trying to not lose her borrowed coat, she twisted her center of balance again, the crates were wet, and she slips, falling. She didn't manage to fall into the water, but she fell onto the crates, hitting her head pretty hard on the corner of them, she had a cut on her forehead which was now bleeding. It wasn't bad, she had had much worse injuries from Etti.
She groans, it was not a fun experience this boat trip. She had decided. She lifts up her head, and looks around her, she groans, the oar was now gone from the raft. At least the coat was still wrapped around her. She was desperately looking around. Where was Raven? What happened to Adi. She couldn't even have jumped in to find them. Her being in the water was what was wrong with her whole situation to begin with. She just wanted this day to end. Maybe go back to bed. It was safe there. Comfy. Not full of water. She grumbled to herself about boats.*

Jashin had no sooner pushed off and begun to swim away when an explosion from behind lit up the sky, and a concussive wave forced him underwater. Coming back up, spluttering, he considered for a full second to actually turn around and view a) what exactly had exploded, and  was anyone alive. He declined both. If he got anymore involved, the next thing he might lose could be his life...or worse. Swimming forward, he came to one of his crates which had been flung out by the collision, and, grasping it, began swimming out into the lake proper. His destination - the sinking pirate wreck. He was beginning to tire, however, and he had many meters to go: closing his eyes, he concentrated, and a mental command suddenly flooded his body with - what felt like - a surge of cold white. In actuality one of his implants being activated, his adrenal implant quickly wiped away his fatigue and replaced it with alertness and renewed vigor.
The distance between him and the villa increased, and, inwardly, he was thankful that the pirate's ship hadn't crashed too far away. Already he was drawing nearer, and, from what he could tell, the ship actually wasn't in horrible shape or condition. Currently it was mostly submerged, the top third of the ship bobbing out of the water - a collection of ten or so sentients gathered on the top of the craft. Towards the rear, the engine block was aflame and smoking, and, wagering a guess, Jashin assumed that his ship colliding with theirs had simply overrun their shields and destroyed their engines - forcing them abruptly into the water. Slowly, calmly, Jashin evaluated the group on the ship. He was fortunate that his alien eyes afforded him superior night vision; not only had they not seen him, but they were transfixed by the smoldering flames in the distance.
Jashin wanted to take no chances, though. Circling around the ship to the damaged engine block, he slowly - very slowly - hauled himself up onto the ship under the cover of the smoke that billowed profusely from the ships aft. Soon, soon...he would commandeer this ship. A true pirate ship.
As soon as he figured out how to kill everyone aboard, at least.

Loki looked down at Anna. "I changed nothing, I did nothing, except what I vowed." He said, though it came out harsher than he had intended, he had warned Adiemus of Kaja, and the fool hadn't listened, Loki supposed it was the Jedi in him that made him so trusting, he was after all giving Loki a chance. But Loki was different, he did not have Kaja's past. Loki shook his head and tapped his cybernetic eye. Growling he ripped it out and off, revealing the blank space with neural wire from a ball of scar tissue within his eye. How deranged his must look. He looked down at Anna again. "Your burns are bad..can you feel them?" He asked softer now. He wondered why no one had come to help them, how nobody felt it, then Kaja's ship fired a blast. Loki dived onto Anna again, covering her, not noticing that the blast had been towards something in the lake. "Sorry.." He whispered though once more he had caught himself over her. He stood once more and watched as KaJa's ship flew off, a growl emanating deep from within his chest.
"I wonder where Farris is.." Loki mused aloud looking around to see if anyone was coming to their Aid at all. He was angry, he was burned, his robes torched, patches of his flesh blackened from the lighting, and still smoking. How he wished Kaja had fought him saber to saber, but of course the Sithspit wasn't that dumb.
Loki looked as Farris arrived, he sighed with relief. "Take her and go, I need to find Matango, I'll be fine." He said when the doctor pointed to his own wounds. "You do what's best for her Farris." Loki said quietly. "Have you seen anyone? I'm surprised nobody else is here?" Loki asked pointedly, his depth perception was only slightly off due to the now destroyed eye. Loki while trying to be polite, was speaking with unrestrained anger in the depth of his voice, something he was sure the observant Polydroxial wouldn't miss.

So much motion. First, the sky lit ablaze with the terrific collision of two star ships over head, plunging the flaming ball of orange light deep into the lake far from them. Seconds later, waves slammed into the side of their boat, tossing MICRO to the floor, and jostling Alora. Fear- pain, sadness, paranoia and anger all rippled through the force, carried to the Empath on the wind,
But before she had any time to contemplate those things, she felt danger erupt in her mind- seconds before Adi grabbed her and whiscked her over the side of the boat. They plunged beneath the darkened waters- and drove ever deeper. Raven's ears protested with pain at the sudden pressure change- but it was nothing compared to the muffled boom and shockwave of water that attacked them. It was strong enough to knock the breath from Matango- escaping him in zigzagging bubbles racing to the surface. It almost ripped Alora away from the Arkanian's protective hold. Her eyes saw flashes of light, warning signs that nothing in this situation was good- and then another impact to her chest- the small cat droid thrust into her arms and then the surface.
Air whipped around her face and she took in a choked gulp of air, coughing and spluttering- her eyes wide opened, their damaged retinas seeing nothing but the Naboo stars, blotched with billowing smoke from the slowly sinking wreckage off in the distance. With her right functioning arm, she clung to MICRO- and kicked powerfully with her legs to keep her afloat. Water was nothing new to her. She had lived on Felucia for too long, and was a very proficient swimmer. That didn't stop the pounding in her head though, and the disorientation. Her confused eyes drifted around, finding the flaming pieces of their boat scattered here and there, and then landing on Sinina. Though the force, Raven could tell that the girl was hurt. She was about to swim over to her when Adieumus breached the surface.
He asked her a question and she jerked her vision over to him, somewhat startled.
I'm- I'm fine, She gasped, as he took MICRO and started speaking to him. And then everything went impossibly worse. MICRO seemed to loose connection with ...itself and something within the Arkanian prince snapped. Alora's eyes focused on Adieumus, and she subconsciously backed away from him. Such heated emotions rolled off him, the Jedi was surprised the water did not boil near his person.
She flinched when he handed MICRO back to her, and nodded meekly as he asked if she could take him while he saw to Sinina.
And he was off. Blinking, Raven bobbed there for a few more seconds, trying to process what had just happened. And then she felt it. Fear......Fear? In this group of people? It hadn't come from Adieumus- or Loki, Sinina or even Anna.
Slowly she turned in the water and fixated her eyes on the burning shipwreck. Oh no....no no no....
She did not even know the person swimming out toward the wreck- but she sensed his mal intent, and though the few others she felt clustered on the drifting portion of their ship not submerged did not seem like extremely good people, they did not deserve to outright die at the whim of some crazy man swimming through the lake, at night.
So what was a small, empathetic Jedi to do. She bobbed there for a moment before deciding the best course of action. Turning, she started kicking to shore, taking the cat droid with her while reaching out with the force strongly to Jashin's mind.
You mentioned Gene Kanobi- I doubt he would approve of you taking advantage of stranded men, and if that doesn't matter to you- I don't approve...and I'm closer.

Anna blinked and shook her head, speaking back softly.
I thought I was going to die Loki... Everything was black after that... but I'm here- alive- because of you.
She didn't flinch when Loki tore out his cybernetic eye. She knew he'd seen her after her own natural eyes were taken from here. It wasn't a pleasant sight either. She frowned when he asked about her burns and closed her eyes, speaking plainly.
I stopped feeling them a few minutes ago... Don't worry.
And it was true. Pain effected her- but only for a short time. Constantly living with Legion pulling at her body while she was away from Felucia, had built her up to a nice resistance of chronic pain- at least like this. She knew she was injured mentally, but her nervous system had had enough and didn't want to play anymore. Anna, frankly, did not mind.
She did flinch when the Zabrak covered her again- and the sound of cannon fire erupted over their heads. Master Alora- Adieumus...
She murmured as she closed her eyes again. Adi's almost here. everyone's alright.
Farris looked around for a moment before shrugging and looking down at Anna. Nodding silently, he stooped and lifted her up in his arms- with such a gentility to his fluid motions. The girl hissed as she was moved, the Polydroxol's skin was cool to the touch and though it might help the burns- initially it would feel somewhat painful. Cradling Anna, he looked at Loki as he asked his question. Farris frowned.
Sinina and I were tangled up with some weird newcomer. We were down to the west shore of the lake- The guy launched his ship in the air- then took off across the lake, on a raft. I believe Master Alora and Adieumus are also out there somewhere. He said, motioning to the dark lake- where now burned the fire of a thousand ships scattered about- both nautical and astral.
He hesitated, turning swiftly and looking at Dominic as the Agent sprinted up to them, weapon drawn. And here's Dominic. He frowned most displeased at the Agent- an almost amused glint coming to his eye. You're late- doctor Mitchel. I think the bad guy flew away.
He looked back at Loki skeptically. he is gone isn't he?

*Atton had actually been about to doze off when he felt someone walking right over him. Quickly snapping out of his daze, he sprang up, but relaxed a little when he saw that it was Thea. Well there were certainly worse people to have run into you...*"Hey don't worry about it." *He offered a hand to help her up.*"Are you all right?"
She felt foolish saying it that way, but it was an easy explanation. She didn't want him to think that she was incompetent. |

Loki was still giving off waves of rage as Anna spoke. He shook his head at her. He had done what was right, perhaps that was the deciding factor.. Perhaps he had finally chosen a new path, and diverted the fork and fate. He shrugged internally as he looked at Farris. Then at the newly arrived Dominic. Loki snorted at the doctor comment Farris made as Dominic showed up, Loki caught Farris' eye and smiled ruefully. "Yes Doctor, Mitchell was it, perhaps you can help Doctor Farris with Anna?" Loki sneered at Dominic letting him know that they believed him as much as they believed in flying Ewoks and fast Hutt's. Loki was in a mood as Farris asked him a serious question, and answered his own query. Loki nodded at the doctor and started heading towards the shore feeling the spot the two would wash up. He looked more deranged then ever, his silver eye flashed again, his robes singed away in places, his skin blackened and burned in the dying light of a dying day. His cybernetic eye gone. And internally waves of rage crashed around violently, both off his person and against him. Adi and Raven would feel him long before they reached shore. |

Starcraft were airtight affairs, and this one was no exception - hitting the water, its shields overloading, what compartments that did flood were sealed off with bulkheads, allowing it to, more or less, keep itself from sinking. That said, it wasn't entirely a good thing - as the ship was mostly intact, so was the crew. The third of the ship exposed above the waterline had about half a dozen sentients on top of it. And, from what Jashin could hear, about six more within the ship itself. Slowly pulling himself up onto the ship, he was just about to take action - when an invasive presence seeped into his mind. He listened to the spiel, thought about it all for a moment, weighed his options...
Then, standing, pulled his sword from it's scabbard, and charged the unsuspecting group. The point of his sword ran through the guts of an unsuspecting Nikto, who, screaming, attempted to pull his own pistol from its holster. But Jashin's hand was already there, pulling the pistol from the dying alien's grasp. Turning the Nikto by yanking on the sword firmly implanted in the alien's back, he used the Nikto as a body shield and fired, once, twice, thrice, into three of the five remaining crewmen. Two fell to the ground, smoking holes in their chests, the third clutched its leg, a thigh now a useless malformed hunk of slag, and fell into the water - gurgling once - before sinking to the bottom. The fourth, a gamorrean, gave a squeal and brandished an axe, while the fifth, a klatooinian, fumbling with it's blaster, leveled it at Jashin and his Nikto shield.
A grunt, and a heave, and Jashin (with Nikto in tow) ran full tilt into the klatooinian, plunging the rest of his blade - protruding out of the Nikto's chest - into the Klatooinian's form. Pulling his blade from both, he turned to the Gamorrean. A squeal, a snuffle, a grunt, the pig-like alien twirled its axe in a surprisingly deft display of mastery, eventually beckoning to Jashin with a set of sausage like fingers. Apparently wanting a one on one melee with their blades.
"...You're kidding, right?" Said Jashin, laughing as he raised his pistol and shot the moronic porcine creature in the chest (center mass, all in the ten ring) with a trio of well placed bolts. The smell of bacon, albeit oily and fatty bacon, wafted through the air. "Puh. 'take advantage of stranded men'. I mean, really. What galaxy does that chick live in? This isn't Coruscant sweetie." Mumbled Jashin to himself, searching the bodies of the dead. Pistols, swords, some grenades - Jashin searched through the grenades until he found one to his liking, before standing and walking over to the dead Gamorrean. Stepping over the pig, Jashin nudged one of its thick arms out of the way so that he could hit the ship's dorsal hatch, which protesting, opened with an awful groan and hiss of hydraulics, to reveal...another Nikto. The Nikto - in Jashin's opinion, WAY too popular among the Hutt's - gave a startled look from his ladder, apparently about to open said hatch to see what the commotion was. "Hiya." Said Jashin, leveling his blaster down the stairwell, the Nikto's face turning into horror (well, as close to horror as his face plates would allow) as Jashin put a pair of bolts into the creature, who, with a scream, fell down the stairwell to fall to the deck plating with a heavy thud.
Tossing the liberated grenade down the stairwell, closing the hatch right after the throw, Jashin waited patiently for the inevitable thump of the stun grenade to go off, before reopening the hatch and sliding down the ladder. Two Klatooinians clutched their heads, ears no doubt ringing, eyes no doubt blurry. Jashin didn't care. Cutting one down with his blade, and putting a steaming hole into the other with his blaster, he looked about, trying to get his bearings. He was at an intersection of three corridors. One, labeled 'engine room' currently had its bulkhead closed, with a small amount of water dripping around the seams. Probably did NOT need to open that. The other lead to storage, which was of definite interest, with the last leading to the cockpit. "Cockpit it is." Said Jashin, his blaster coming up, ready to blast anyone who presented themselves. The hallway, though, was clear. The cockpit too so far as Jashin could tell. It was only as he stepped into the room that he realized how wrong he was.
Hiding on either side of the doorway, the two Nikto in hiding grabbed each of Jashin's arms, while a third, hiding behind a console, landed a series of heavy punches to his gut and face, making him drop his weapons and sag to the ground. Dragging him forward, Jashin was deposited in front of a medium sized holotank, which buzzed into life - revealing the corpulent form of a Hutt. Zordo the Hutt, to be more specific. Jashin! Sa da u? U do goola mistako, kilo myo starra! Do dito sa so grancha, mee doota u can wamma it ateema! (Jashin! Is that you? You made a huge mistake, attacking my ship. You have so much debt now, I doubt even you could pay it all off!) Boomed the hologram, gloating over the prostrate form of Jashin. Pulling himself up, the three Nikto leveling weapons at him, Jashin wiped a stream of blood from his mouth, spitting at the deck plate, before speaking himself. "Zordo. I was hoping to kill all your men before they could get ahold you." Leaning back, Jashin coughed a little, massaging his chest where he had been punched. "I, uh, see I was a little too late for that." The Hutt boomed a laughing response, gesturing to Jashin and his blood. Hohoho! Jashin...Jashin. Toona su cana. Su cana...peetch alay. Mee'm fraydee soong tee-tocky tah wamma tonka myo nyee. Soong tee-tocky tah wamma, ateema. (Jashin, Jashin. Always so close. But always too late. I'm afraid it's time to pay up my boy...it's time to pay, now.)
Licking his lips, Jashin glanced around the room, at the position of the three guards. Zordo, seeing the motion, clicked his tongue (or the Hutt equivalent of such) and the guards, their attention split between hologram and prisoner, their guns lax, zeroed in on Jashin, their blasters poking into Jashins ribs. Ateema ateema, Jashin nyee. Noona da. U noona escadee this tee-tocky, Goldo Foxy. Ateema. Do u have myo credits? Mo will mee be deesa do corpsa, eena da of myo mens, tah doe polos? (Now now, Jashin boy...none of that. You cannot escape this time, Golden Fox. Now...do you have my credits? Or will I be explaining your corpse, as well as that of my mens, to the police?) Jashin, his eyes closing, to all appearances thinking of his answer to the Hutt. Concentrating, Jashin sent the mental command to his newest implant, his accelerated nerve implant, and the world seemed to slow - moving through molasses. His eye opening slowly to his awakened senses, his body moving equally slowly, he twisted, his shoulders nudging blaster barrels off their original paths. He knew he couldn't prevent them from firing, but, he could lessen the damage they did. The guns pulsed, pain seared through him - pain that seemed to go on forever as his senses processed each agonizing moment. Jashin had to continue forward, though, if he wanted to live. Falling to the side, slowly, Jashin turned his momentum into a roll that sent him barreling into a wall, while a twist from his left hand sent his HL-17 light pistol, secure in its spring rig under his coat, right into his awaiting hand. Sluggishly, the three Nikto's blasters slowly rose to take a bead on him, but Jashin, his senses fine tuned through his implant - beat them to it. His pistol kicked, once, twice, thrice. A bolt put neatly into each of the alien's heads. Before, blessedly, Jashin focused and turned the implant off.
The world seemed to lurch, everything moving at the correct speed again, and Jashin gasped in relief, glad to be rid of the mind numbing pain in his gut. Three holes had neatly burned themselves through his body - two in his gut, the third in his right shoulder. Thankfully, all missed his heart and brain - but only through the grace of his implant. Zordo, eyeing the FIrrerreo as if he had suddenly grown horns, muttered to himself at the sight. Choy? Kava? Are u do Jedai? (What? How? Are you a Jedi?) But, even as the Hutt said the words, his eyes narrowed, and he leveled an accusatory finger at Jashin. Noah. U went ashee dee boonkee doe ceeborga. U took doe ceeborga che yoota, nanta u! (No. You went astray around the time of those cyborg shipments. You took those for yourself, didn't you!) Propping himself up, coughing up some blood in the process, Jashin smiled weakly, laughing a little at it all. "Yeah. Yeah I took 'em. Came in handy, though, didn't they? I knew I couldn't pay you back in time. I figured I'd need a little extra to keep ahead of you...I'm not quite used to using the stuff, though." Rage painted the Hutt's face a deep green, which, oddly enough, slowly faded away to a normal Hutt color. Eventually, the Hutt merely laughed, its deep booming laugh. Ho ho ho! Oh, Jashin...Oh, Jashin. U andee do wilee ulwan. Pirattee. Nandee u cullo u ateema. Soong why mee credito u so noona. U've amuta je. Nda te tookee! Next tee-tocky. Next tee-tocky mee sendu Nikto canee tah securee u. Mee will cut do tech nenoleeya of do yuna kicksee, um, gee do screamee forma. Tandee myo moulee-rah randee. Gee anteree. Mo elsee. Jee-jee claro? ::
(Oh, Jashin. You were indeed a wily smuggler. Pirate. Whatever you call yourself now. It's why I payed you so well. You've...amused me today. But be warned. Next time...next time I will send appropriate measures to secure you. I will cut your tech out of your body while alive, and, with your screaming form, have my torturers extract what I deem appropriate compensation from you. Have my money ready before then. With interest. Are we clear?)
Pushing himself up, propping himself up against the wall, Jashin gritted his teeth as his body slowly worked to heal the wound in his body. "Yeah. Crystal." With an abrupt beep, the hologram cut out, leaving Jashin - presumably - alone on the ship. Jashin could care less. The wounds taking their toll, as well as his healing factor taking up the majority of his energy, he slowly faded into unconsciousness, blissful rest fading the pain in his body to the edge of his awareness.

Besides the fact that he could tell Loki didn't believe the cover, he couldn't do anything to shatter that thin pane of glass. He was a little unnerved at the one eyed Loki, his mechanical eye on the ground. Despite that, he nodded. "Yes, Doctor Mitchell." He confirmed that Loki was indeed correct. "I can help-" At this he instinctively looked down at Anna, he couldn't help but have to stop to swallow as he saw her. This was the woman who wanted to die. the have her misery cut short and be buried with the rest of the lab. And here she was. He took the shortest moment to compose himself, his pause but the space of a hiccup. "-I can help Farris with Anna."

Thea looked up at him and smiled, taking his hand."I am fine, I just wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
She felt foolish saying it that way, but it was an easy explanation. She didn't want him to think that she was incompetent. "Well no one was hurt, so it's all good, right?" *There was more that Atton wanted to say, but was interrupted by the unmistakable sounds of something blowing up very close by. Seriously? They couldn't have one moment of peace without something blowing up?
He quickly darted outside the villa to try and see what had happened, but it was too late for him to see what exactly had blown up. What he did see, was a capsized boat and two people in the water. He couldn't see who they were from this distance. In any case, they might need some help...*"Son of a...can't go one kriffing minute without something blowing up." *Heaving a sigh, Atton began to make his way to the lakeshore to see what sort of assistance he could render, one hand on his lightsaber in case things went any farther south...* |

Anna blinked as she looked at Loki and spoke quietly. She knew her words might not mean much to the angry Zabrak- especially considering his rage was justified, but she had to let him know. Do not be too angry Loki....everything that has transpired...had to happen.
She said it with conviction. Even now she felt her muscles begin to contract and convulse slightly- with the new life literally having been shocked into them. Kaja had to travel with them on their mission- how else was Anna suppose to tell him what she'd been trying to convey to him for years, ever sense Honoghr. And while his tampering had indeed caused The Array to become defensive- it had eventually led to Loki's defeating it a lot easier than had it been working properly. She was- by all means, not happy with the situation, and she did not enjoy Kaja's company. In fact, she hoped she never saw the man again- but she'd survived, and Fate told her, their story was far from over.
She glanced over at Dominic, and the smallest of smiles slipped to her face. Thank you, for listening...
She jolted again, prompting Farris to hold onto her a little tighter.
For someone who just had the bajeezas zapped out of them, you talk a lot.
Farris said with a narrowed expression. He glanced over at Loki and considered speaking about the exposed inner tissue, ripping out his cybernetic eye had caused, but decided against it. He really didn't want to have to reform his face after a Zabrak punched it. His expression turned to Dominic who- frankly, was doing a good job of keeping his guise up, even though no one believed him. It was amusing- but what really caught his attention was the Agent's slight start at Anna's appearance. He nodded solemnly. Come along Dr. Mitchel. I think the explosions are over for now. But with this group- you never know....
He assumed the Agent would follow him- at least until they were inside the building and Loki wasn't watching. As they entered the Villa and Farris glanced around to find an unoccupied room where he could work on his patient, he turned to Dominic with a sly grin. Do you want to know a secret?... I'm not really a doctor either.

Raven swam away, and he made a beeline for the person floating further out. He pushed against the water as hard as he could, the waves still rocking the lake from all the...excitement....still rolling their way in and out. Avoiding the puddles of flaming oil, Matango managed to make it to the makeshift raft with Sinina aboard. He had little idea why she was out here floating like this, but he would have to ask her later. Right now, it was time to get her to shore.
Tapping the crates sharply, but not enough to scare Sin, Adi let her know that he was there to help. "You ok, kid?" He called every young person 'kid'. It was neither insult, nor intentionally demeaning, but he was rather crude and blunt when addressing people. "I think it's time you abandon ship. C'mon. You can catch a ride on my back. I can swim us into shore." If she accepted, he would help her into the water, and make his way back the twenty meters or so to the beach, where an apparently angry and injured Loki awaited, along with Raven.

"Ugh....wh...where..am..."
::Program upload in progress....37%. Two minutes until final protocols are complete::
The words flashed across his vision, and he blinked to clear his eyes. Instinctively, his hands came up, and rubbed his eyelids. Wait a minute...he had eyelids? More importantly, he had hands? What in the name of Grievious' activation was going on here? Last thing in his memory was a rundown of the health of several individuals in a starship crew. The Wayward Son Crew....but why was he with them?
::Program upload at 62%. Motor functions online. Respiration, full optics, and self-repair systems online. Full functionality will be reached in forty-five seconds::
More words flashed across his eyesight. More of the data that made up his 'memories' was flooding in, filling in blank spots to almost every question that came to his mind...except how it was all being made possible. His last resident host was a cat replica droid....but he still didn't even know what vessel he was in now. Rolling over to his stomach, he got himself up to his hands and knees. He had -knees-! He looked almost...no...he DID look 'human'.
::Full basic functions achieved. OS in place, cerebral cortex tests green.::
Someone had uploaded him into an advanced human replica droid of some kind.
Getting to his feet...and pretty much tickled that he even HAD them, he made his way toward the commotion. Loki was on the beach, looking out over the water. Master Raven was standing nearby, holding what was his last vessel. The good doctors were tending to Anna, who seemed to be a bit banged up. Deciding that he would best serve to assist with whatever, or whoever it was that Loki and Raven were intently staring at. He didn't even think before speaking to them.
"So, what's the situation, Sir, Master Jedi? How can I assist?" If they had heard the voice of Gregory the A-AI in the CLoWDS armor, or the few times he had spoken as the MICRO unit, they would immediately recognize the accent. Otherwise, he would look like some random guy walking up on a very bad situation...

Its not my day..
*Sin was using her arms to row as much as she could, trying to reach shore. She had one thought in mind. Going back to bed and sleeping again. She wasn't startled at all by Adi, but did frown as the Pirate never came back for his crates or his jacket. She looked at him, the water, then the shore. She sighs softly as she moved to the edge. She wished her leg was better, and was not dressed in something that made her sink like a stone in the water. She nods at adi as she slips off the crates slowly, grabbing onto him tightly.*
..stupid knee..

was anyone alive. He declined both. If he got anymore involved, the next thing he might lose could be his life...or worse. Swimming forward, he came to one of his crates which had been flung out by the collision, and, grasping it, began swimming out into the lake proper. His destination - the sinking pirate wreck. He was beginning to tire, however, and he had many meters to go: closing his eyes, he concentrated, and a mental command suddenly flooded his body with - what felt like - a surge of cold white. In actuality one of his implants being activated, his adrenal implant quickly wiped away his fatigue and replaced it with alertness and renewed vigor.
