Coruscant - DungeonsZara had to think about that question for a moment. Yes... how long had she been at the temple? It felt as if it had been years since she had become part of this "family" as Lord Rahl referred to them, yet she couldn't have been here longer than a couple months. Not too long. A month ago, maybe two, High Lord Esuritio saved me from bounty hunters. There was a price on my head because I had killed the man responsible for my condition.Slowly, hesitantly, Zara opened her mouth to reveal the empty space in her mouth where her tongue used to be; the reason why she had been communicating with him telepathically the entire time. She quickly closed it again after he saw it. Her reluctance to show him had been genuine; it was incredibly rare that she would voluntarily let anyone see the reason for her muteness. She figured that if she wanted to gain his trust, she had to trust him as well, no matter what she had to reveal about herself. He could sense that the Force was strong with me, and took me here, much to my surprise. You must understand that at the time I was a small, weak thing, a dirty street rat with no direction or purpose. I only had a vague idea of this power I had; all of the times it had manifested itself in my childhood I was forced to suppress it. I had no idea that I would be of any interest to the Sith, and certainly not the Emperor himself. I'm still just an apprentice, but I've already learned so much. I never would have dreamed I could have this much power. But...The girl quickly looked over her shoulder to make sure that no one was approaching. Can I tell you a secret? she asked, blinking up at him with wide, dark eyes.

Coruscant - Throne Room
Locolvictum was at the doors to the throne room. He pushed the doors open, paying no mind to the guards on either side. They knew there place.
"My lord Emperor," His voice echoed in the chamber, "we have something that we need to discuss." Locolvictum didn't even bother trying to make himself decent for this, usually he would at least try. But sometimes there are those times where he couldn't care less about what he looked like. With as much work that gets left on his plate, looking nice or even decent was something reserved for times when he felt was necessary. This wasn't such time.

Aboard the Epoch Wren - en route to Coruscant
Elyria watched Corvin closely as he struggled as to whether he should attempt to teach the Masters his newly discovered technique...her studies had suffered as of late...being off-planet so much...and Ka'all being unable to further his instruction...inwardly she beamed...she was proud of how far the man before had progressed in his short time as a Je'daii...she thanked the Force that he had come along when he did...and Davth..barely recovered from whatever inner struggle he had gone through...so ready to jump in and again put himself at risk...she knew Ka'all would be proud of his Je'daii...if they could get to him in time......

In Flight Aboard the Epoch Wren After a few moment's thought, Corvin took strength from a look of resolution that crossed Elyria's face, and he looked over his shoulder to his co-pilot. "Yeah..." the Twilek said, without even waiting for his question. "I got this. Damned thing's on auto pilot now anyway." With a smirk, she added "Show them your temple, and go get philosophical while you still have time.""My temple..." Corvin chuckled to himself as he motioned the masters to follow him aft. "This way." A couple of turns had them end up in the starboard cargo hold, where several crates were strapped against a far wall under a tarp, and other crates were set around a board that rested on a pair of saw-horses to serve as a table and chairs. A newly acquired holochess board sat nestled in it's attached booth in one corner now, an empty tumbler resting on it's surface. The light in this temple was not from candles, but the flickering glow of old lamps and new diodes, the altar an impeccably well supplied workbench. Elyria would remember seeing Locolvictum floating in the bacta tank at the far wall, but she would not have seen the amount of work Corvin had put into restoring his prized antique speeder bike since last she was aboard. A hovering astromech droid with the acronym FUBAR emblazoned on it's chassis flitted about, absentmindedly tending the equipment, it's expressionless countenance somehow managing to seem bored by the current lack of disrepair. "Might as well make yourselves comfortable..." Corvin said, indicating the variety of impromptu seating as he gathered his thoughts and prepared to try and teach these masters what he expected would be a new trick.

Wonyky Coruscant - Throne Room "My lord Emperor," His voice echoed in the chamber, "we have something that we need to discuss." Aiden sighed at the intrusion. The Emperor and the High Lord didn't always get along, but Locolvictum was good at what he did and highly intelligent. Of course Rahl didn't become emperor without having his own intelligence and it would be unwise to allow such an entry without saying something about it. "I know you don't stand much on ceremony," The emperor responded darkly, "but the next time you burst into my throne room unannounced, you and I will do more than talk. Now what is so important?"

In Flight Aboard the Epoch Wren
Elyria chuckled softly and gave Eliza a knowing wink before turning to follow Corvin...linking her arm in Davth's, they made their way behind the young Ranger....as they approached the door to the cargo hold, flashes of their last trip spun through her mind...inwardly she sighed when she thought of Lolovictum, their philosophies had been different...but there was a time when she thought they might've been friends.....
entering the room it took a moment for her green eyes to adjust to the lighting, flickering lamps cast shadows about the room as she took it all in..."Corvin... she said almost playfully did you spend all your time aboard the Wren...didn't you spend any time in your chambers on Tython? she smiled at him as she took in everything before her...dropping Davth's arm, she strode over to the speeder, she gently ran her hand along it's side, whistling thoughtfully...a momentary flash of sadness shadowed her countenance as again Vic's face came to mind....
"Might as well make yourselves comfortable..."
.......looking up with a slight start at Corvin's voice, she nodded and silently made her way to the makeshift seating area, her arm reaching up to draw her long copper locks across one shoulder, her eyes shining brightly in the low lighting of the room... a mixture of curiosity and thoughtfulness on her face as she waited to see what the young Je'daii had in mind....

Coruscant - Throne Room
Locolvictum waved off the threat, knowing that what he was here for was much more important than to worry about protocol.
"With all do respect my lord, its protocols like those that hamper both time and progress. Things that's are too valuable to waste when your at war. He explained quickly.
"But talking about protocol isn't why I am here. Its about the one still in the dungeon. The one you were torturing, the Jedi. Sources tell me he is at the head of there council. And that breach of security earlier makes me dought your judgment of believing that Coruscant is secure enough to hold him."

In Flight Aboard the Epoch Wren
Before Davth could acknowledge master Stones reply she had locked his arm and was leading him behind the junior jeda'ii. The clang of their boots on the floor made him wince slightly, the echo was so much louder inside of the ship than it was on a planet.
The master noticed the flash of the emotion on the woman's face, it was not one he would associate with touching a speeder, even one that had been as well maintained as this.
The togruta followed her to the seating area, but in his own typical fashion leaned against a crate as opposed to sitting on it. He was unaccustomed to actually wearing pants as opposed to a kilt or a robe, they were far to restrictive in his opinion.

Coruscant - Temple Throne Room
Looking at the man with the predator gaze he was known for, the emperor spoke softly but with authority, "It's not so much about protocols as it is about discipline, High Lord Locolvictum. A person of your rank should know that. Without discipline, we are no better than the animals that want to see us fall." Visibly relaxing, he continued, "I am quite well aware of whom it is we have, I am the one that defeated him and put him there. Last I looked, you were not in charge of the intelligence division, so why are you so concerned?"
Standing, Lord Rahl made his way down the steps of the dais until he was eye level with the high lord, "It is dangerous to doubt my judgement when you don't know everything that's going on. I have everything well in hand.

scuttlefish Coruscant - DungeonsCan I tell you a secret? she asked, blinking up at him with wide, dark eyes. Ka'all listened intently to what she had to say, a small amount of hope creeping up inside him that possibly she could be converted. It seemed like she had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time her whole life, but he still had to be on his guard. Still, it didn't look like her eyes had taken on the sick, yellowish color that infected all darksiders yet. When she asked him about a secret, he almost laughed but didn't. "Who am I going to tell, young lady?" he said as he absent-mindlessly ate the food she brought...

Coruscant - DungeonsZara shrugged, smiling a little at his question. She was beginning to like the old man; she almost felt bad that she was going to have to betray him. Almost.She leaned in closer, looking over her shoulder again to make sure that no one was watching and listening to them. I don't really belong here. At first, I thought I did, but now... I don't like what I'm becoming.She looked up at the ceiling which was rather high for a jail, and continued, her eyes becoming bright and excited as she explained. I know who you are. I overheard whispering in the hallways. When I heard about who you were, I thought... I could help you. And, well, maybe this is silly, but perhaps you can help me, too.She paused, the smile fading from her face when she noticed he had begun to eat the food she had brought. Now she was going to have to cut to the chase. I'm going to get you out of here, but you're just going to have to trust me. She looked straight into his eyes now. Her own countenance became serious, emotionless. That food you're eating contains extract from a particular strain of Tarisian kelp, which has sedative properties. In about ten minutes, it should take effect. Or at least, that's how long it took when I tested it on myself. It may take longer for you, I don't know. It won't knock you out, but it will render you temporarily incapacitated and unaware of your surroundings. You will be able to walk and answer simple questions, but your perception of the outside world will be distorted. She let out a sigh, expecting him to be understandably upset with her for drugging him. I'm sorry -- it was the only way. If we are caught, the Emperor might forgive me for trying to break you out, but if he finds out I allowed you to see the secrets of the temple... She made a cutting motion with the side of her hand against her throat. Lowering the force field once more, she tossed him an acolyte's robe, similar to the one she was wearing. It was long and dark red with a hood that obscured the face completely. Here. Put this on. When we leave the temple, we will appear as two acolytes on an errand for a Sith Lord.Zara's own hands were shaking slightly, not sure if the plan was going to work. Though she had received her orders from the Emperor himself, if they were caught, all of the evidence made it seem like she was betraying the Sith. And she knew that some Sith would love to have an excuse to twist her neck without asking any questions first.

Coruscant - Temple Throne Room
Locolvictum brushed off the hostility with a smile, but never broke eye contact. For it was at times like these that you couldn't turn tale and run.
"I mean no disrespect my Lord Emperor. And lets just say I know the shock value of horrid and unexpected things." He said, still smiling, "but here is something to consider. Everything dies when its head it cut off. They will come for their leader as long as they believe their leader is alive.
Locolvictum was leading onto something, but he wouldn't say what. But what he had in mind would draw the attention of every eye in the Galaxy.

The Dark Lord sighed as he smiled, "Please don't get me wrong, High Lord Locolvictum, while I appreciate your concern in our prisoner, as I stated before, you are not the head of the intelligence division. I have already put a plan in motion that will ultimately reveal the whereabouts of the enemy and lead to their complete and utter demise." While he was finishing his sentence, a guard walked up, bowed sharply to the both of them, and handed the emperor a datapad. Looking down, the Dark Lord smiled, "It looks like my plan is already in motion, here, look, he said as he showed the security feed of Zara freeing Ka'all. "Don't worry, my old friend, things are perfectly well in hand."

Locolvictum looked at the feed and wasn't sure what to think of it. But he knew what was happening. His face showed this all to well, he was confused. And The girl that he had met earlier, the Emperor is sending her off in disguise. Problem was that she was young, and the young can be manipulated to easily.
"If this is the path that you desire, then I must move my own pieces into place." Locolvictum said, his one eye still transfixed to the feed. This situation he could no longer influence, well unless they need to get off world. Then he would provide, but in the mean time Locolvictum needed to stay in the shadows in this matter until his little surprise was ready.
"If you will let me take my leave Lord Emperor, I have work that has to be attended to."

Anger flashed into Ka'all's eyes but extinguished almost immediately. Whether or not she was telling the truth didn't matter at the moment, his life was in her hands. If she took him to his death, so be it, he was ready. Slipping on the cloak, he could already feel the affects of the drugs. "My life is in your hands it would seem," he said, letting some sarcasm slip. ((You may control my character from here until he regains his consciousness to keep things moving))
