Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I didn't, my info-war specialist AI did))

Archaras continued to follow this Darksun, watching like a hawk until suddenly he bolted.

"Oh Kriff it all!" The Echani muttered undered his breath, knowing that even with all of his skills, he would still eventually be detected by someone using the force. It was useless to pursue, that much he knew, but it wasn't useless to track him.

"ICIS, where is he?" Archaras asked, just loud enough to be picked up.

"Hold on a moment Arch, I'm searching. He completely dodged me for a moment...ah there he is..." The AI said, speaking with satisfaction over her defeating a Jedi's attempts at stealth.

"He's in the way lower city, in a Carbon Freezing Chamber," She added.

"Can you get me access to the Maintenance Lifts, nearest to the first Choke Point he'll encounter?" The Officer queried.

"Already on it. 25 Meters to your left."

Archaras trotted to it, and entered, avoiding the notice of the populace as ICIS created a dozen ghosts of him throughout the city, as well as a Maintenance mission scheduled for now. The Lift shot down at a blurring pace, bringing Archaras to the dankly lit undercity. He walked to the Corridor that choked off the Darksun's route, leaning up against a wall.

His ears could barely pick up the approaching man's footsteps, but pick them up he could. He began to slowly clap as he entered the single corridor.

"I must say that was pretty impressive," Archaras intoned. "You don't have to worry I'm not a threat Mister ...Darksun was it?"

The Echani Knight awaited the Jedi's response...

He awaited the Jedi's reply
The Echani trotted to the Turbolift

Journeyman felt the crystal "singing" with energy. Satisfied that he had tuned it to perfection he slid it into the handle. With a few adjustments to the lense and a twist to the crystal it was set fine.

He picked up the second crystal with the force. This one was suppose to augment the first crystal for more energy.

"Do not tempt me fool," Darth Kos laughed, slicing the man across the chest with the lightsaber. It was a light burn, but hurt just as much. "The sith have powerful methods of persuasion."

The wife began to choke, Darth Kos using the force to cut off her air. He turned the husband to see. The two looked at each other, the husband sweating with concern.

"Now tell me," Darth Kos growled. The husband remained quiet, even after the lightsaber cut out his throat. He fell to the floor dead as Darth Kos stood over the last person. She looke up in terror...

((...a hooded guy is following me around. Thats not suspicious at all, especially given the complete lack of hooded cloak wearing Bespin locals and tourists. Man, Link fought as a Guerilla for three years during the Sith/Imperial war. He's not some saber-polishing Jedi academy student. He's the equivalent of a Jedi Shadow with a heavy emphasis on combat. You seriously are underestimating his capabilities if you think you can keep outmaneuvering him.))

Link came face to face with the man and then lept back, landing at the top of another set of stairs.
He narrowed his eyes as he gripped the sheath of his sword.
"You say you mean this one no harm, yet you keep following him, refer him by a name that he had not given you, and demand to know what he is about. Thats seems to suggest you have less than honorable plans in mind. Whoever you are, This one recomends that you leave him be, lest you find yourself departed from this world."

((You were an imperial scout. Link never had that good of tech. Think what you will, but your skills at tracking arent as well tuned as they might have once been.))
Link continued to glare suspiciously at the man.
"Now, you make fun of this one's mode of speech. Making friends seems to be a skill they never bothered teaching you. And this one's reasons are his own. The same he assumes applies to yourself, as he has yet to ask your purpose in trailing him or the purpose for you being on planet."
Link turned away from the man.
"There is little more to be said on this matter. Proceed to follow this one, and you will be twisting in the wind that carried the name to you."

Link watched the man depart.
Then, in an exact parody of the stalker's voice remarked, "My only aim was to ascertain whether or not you were a threat to me."

He turned and resumed climbing the stairs, his voice shifting back to his own higher-pitched voice as he muttered to himself irritably. "This one wonders just how he determines threats to himself. This one had no interest in him until he started trailing him and forced a confrontation. Once the confrontation was forced, this one posed the greatest possible threat to him. But then again, those who think o'er much of themselves often are blind to the repercusions of their own shortsighted actions."

He sighed as he realized the irony in his own words but nonetheless continued climbing the stairs.
Only another hundred levels or so to go.

The crystal was calming along nicely. Journeyman wasn't truely awake, only aware of the crystal and his surroundings. His inner monolouge was more of his soul working things over. He needed to remember and forgive himself.

He left her dead, turning to search the rest of the house instead. After three steps a figure appeared in the doorway. he lowered his hood, revealing a calm and prepared face.

"Darth Kos, you have out done yourself," the man stated. "Even your wicked misdeeds before do no compare."

Journeyman drew his lightsaber on the man.

Freya then did as Aurora. "Many thanks, your majesty."

The queen smiled to Aurora, Freya and their entourage. "Then, once you've made contact with the fleet, please return to us then."

"You totally got it," Freya said. She then looked to the wookies, and said, "Shall we totally be off, then?" as one wookiee woofed agreement. "Now, let's totally find those new guys, and be on our way,"

"So, like our business here is so totally done, dudes," Freya said to Zell and Nat. "So, like, let's get back to the ship,"
