Voss - Epoch Wren"Yes, I was wondering the same thing too. Where is Zara?" he asked casually, still keeping his hands up in a nonthreatening gesture. "I'm sure she's caused nothing but trouble for you, but I'm here to take the rebellious little apprentice back to the Empire. I mean no harm to any of you. I only need to know where Zara went."she reacted in an instant....flipping around and sending a Force push to pin him against the wall, the smile gone from her lips, her eyes like stone... "Who are you?...How did you get on this ship...and what do you want with Zara?...she fought bravely with us...to send her back to the Empire now would surely mean her death...explain yourself..."

Voss - Epoch WrenCedric found the experience of being pinned to the wall by a Force push to be very unpleasant, but he kept his hands up and managed a smile. Funnily enough, he considered this situation favorable right now. He had always suspected that the Je'daii weren't the type to shoot first and ask questions later. And they all seemed intelligent enough for negotiation. "Oh come now, there's really no need for that. As I said, I mean you no harm. Here, I'll tell you where all my weapons are. Obviously the sniper rifle on my back, a grenade pouch on my belt along with a blaster. There's a smaller blaster hidden in the liner of my jacket. Don't forget the vibroblades hidden in my boots. Oh, and you might want to take my comlink, because I've got a feeling I know who that old man is, and I'm sure you don't want the Sith to know where he is..."He waited for someone to come and take his weapons and communication device as he thought about the woman's words. So Zara somehow had wormed her way into the Je'daii's trust? Or at least evoked some kind of compassion. He wasn't highly ranked enough to understand the extent of what Zara was doing, but he figured that her intentions were less than trustworthy. He was in a rather difficult situation now; the Je'daii wouldn't give Zara up if they thought she was being taken back to the Empire to be punished, yet if he revealed Zara's true malicious intentions he would break her cover and prevent her from ever going deeper with these Je'daii. He didn't bother lying; of course these Je'daii would be able to see right through him. Then again... he could always tell them the truth.... about him, about his sister... Yeah, like that was ever a good idea.

Voss - Epoch Wren"Stowing away in a cargo crate?" Corvin couldn't help but smile. "That's classic! You didn't drink any of my product, did you? It's already got a buyer..." He turned his attention to Elyria and motioned toward Ka'all as he said "His Sith girl ran off with her Zeltron Pirate friend while I was investigating the Great Cannon. If anyone had thought to mention it's malfunction sooner, I could have had it ready in time to be of some use!"He thought for a moment of all the men who were sacrificed for this war that could have been saved if they just had a proper mechanic on the ground. "Anyway, if Zara really has turned a new leaf, this is her chance to prove it... but after Locolvictum's fiasco just now, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd say we go after them, but that would mean leaving Davth and the Gormak behind."

The medication began to take effect, allowing the grandmaster's vision to clear and his head to stop pounding. His legs were still a bit shaky as he stood, placing a hand on Elyria's shoulder for balance. "What's your play here, Imp?" Endar began, "Are we supposed to believe your only mission is to retrieve a wayward sith and we're just supposed to hand her over?" Looking to Elyria, he spoke softly, "I'm sorely tempted to just kill him and then search the ship for whatever tracking device he may have planted."

He turned his attention to Elyria and motioned toward Ka'all as he said "His Sith girl ran off with her Zeltron Pirate friend while I was investigating the Great Cannon. "Corvin - I'll hold him...get his weapons...but be careful...."Are we supposed to believe your only mission is to retrieve a wayward sith and we're just supposed to hand her over?" Looking to Elyria, he spoke softly, "I'm sorely tempted to just kill him and then search the ship for whatever tracking device he may have planted." "Master..let's not be too hasty...look at his uniform..he is a high ranking official...tho' I sense no Force signature...we may need him..."Anyway, if Zara really has turned a new leaf, this is her chance to prove it... but after Locolvictum's fiasco just now, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd say we go after them, but that would mean leaving Davth and the Gormak behind."" I may still not fully trust that girl..but I'm not ready to hand her over...you know how the Empire works...it would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter.. she kept the man pinned and turned to Ka'all "Master...what shall we do with him?"

"Bind him," Ka'all ordered, "Eyes and ears, I don't want him knowing what we're doing or where we're going." Then, turning his back on the Imp, he looked Corvin in the eyes, "Elyria's right, we won't leave Zara. Let's go find her."

Despite the tenseness of the situation, Cedric couldn't help but laugh at the younger Je'daii's words.
"A Zeltron pirate?" he mused. "Huh...if what I've heard about Zeltrons is true, we may never get her back..." he joked. Perhaps it was a bad time for a joke, him being pinned to a wall by a Je'daii master and in some very deep trouble, but he couldn't resist. He would of course have to have a word with this Zeltron pirate later, if he could get out of this situation alive. He did notice that the man mentioned Locolvictum, a name he was familiar with. Was he not a High Lord of a different division? Cedric wondered why he had been sent on an undercover assignment too. He filed this knowledge away for later; perhaps it would be useful at some point. He let out a sigh when the older man ordered for him to be bound. It was of course understandable. At least he wasn't ordering for him to be killed. "Then at least allow her to speak with me when you find her, if she is willing." he said with finality, making no struggle or attempt to escape.

Voss - Epoch Wren"I wouldn't worry about tracking devices" Corvin said as he approached the prisoner and began relieving him of his weapons. "The Wren's got signal jammers and a tracking sensor. Vic taught me that one, too... no more bugs on my bird without me knowing."Having had more than a little smuggling, he began a thorough pat-down, looking for any weapons that might not have been disclosed, as well as any cybernetic replacements or implants that could be dangerous or conceal secrets of their own. "FUBAR" he said, adressing the astromech droid, "Have De'Avril take off in pursuit of the Zeltron's ship." he didn't even bother to look up from the prisoner as he bound him with the expertise only a scoundrel could match. Moments later, the Wren was in the sky.

The one thing we would never allow is for you to conspire together..it's out of the question! she turned her back on him Corvin,... do as Master Endar says...cover his eyes and ears...were done here... Moments later, the Wren was in the sky. "Corvin.. her voice softer, gentler now.. if you don't mind...I'm going to my quarters...I need a bath and to get out of this damnable armor...I'll see you on the bridge later..okay...as she made her way from the hold she felt a brief twinge..a presence..shaking her head... "just my imagination...it's been a long day..."

Voss - Delirium of DreamsZara awoke in the med bay with a sharp intake of breath, sitting up with a shocked expression on her face, a sheen of sweat on her brow. She had been dreaming again. Yet every time, she could never remember what she had dreamed about... old memories of an old life, better left forgotten. An IV was hooked up to her arm, and a medical droid fussing over her as soon as she regained consciousness. She let out a long sigh, still worn out and in pain from her injuries, which were beginning to heal at a slower rate than if she had stayed in the bacta tank. But she knew that staying on that ship was trouble. She didn't know why. She just knew. What were her plans from here? Zara was at a loss, not even knowing the outcome of the battle yet. Was she to stay with the Je'daii, try to earn their trust and discover the location of their real base? Or was she to return to Coruscant, fall back and await new orders? She closed her eyes, going into a deep trance-like state as she reached out with her mind and attempted to find the Emperor's Force signature, wherever he was. Now that the Je'daii weren't around watching her every move, she may be able to make contact with her master again...

Cedric shook his head a little, realizing of course they would deny that request. He was turning out to look more and more incompetent by the minute. Yet even if he had not revealed himself so soon, he would have been in deeper trouble than he was now. They would have discovered him eventually, there was no doubt, and it looked better on his side if he revealed himself rather than allowing them to find him. As foolish as he felt right now, he remained calm and collected, as he had been trained to. He could get out of this situation. All he needed was the right opportunity.

Epoch Wren - Quarters
Alone in her room..calmed by the quiet around her, Elyria looked in the mirror, Mesh'la's armor..covered in blood, her hair matted in places..blood, dust and debris everywhere "What have I become?..I am so tired..when did I last sleep..barely back from Mandalore..and off to Coruscant..and then Voss...I long to see the Master's Garden..to walk peacefully in the sun, surrounded by the brilliant hues and velvet petals..to smell the exotic scents...to see something other than death and destruction....."..she slowly began removing her armor, letting it drop to the floor... making her way to the refresher station, she entered the stall and let the hot water run over her as she washed away the evidence of a war she knew was not yet over....the water pinked by the blood of those she had killed as it swirled around the drain...she closed her eyes and leaned against the wall....salty tears mixing with the cleansing water......
when she was done, she headed back to her room...she needed sleep..if only for a moment..laying down on her bed..she was out in an instant...but it would not be long before the nightmares came.....

Tython- Je'daii temple
Wilca awoke groggy and confused, the temple hall was eerily cold, he was chilled to the very bone. He scanned the area and saw nothing strange the door to his room the corridor stretching out before him, but there was an almost unnatural darkness across the walls. Wilca closed his eyes massaged his temples. "..Uhhh my head is killing me.. How long have I been out?.. " Wilca realized he was talking out loud to no one. Taking a deep breath and steadying himself against the wall he hoisted himself up from the ground, and walked into his chambers. "I think this isolation is startying to take its toll on me...I need the masters to return soon I sense a great darkness on the horizon"

Epoch Wren - QuartersShe sat up with a start..a cold sweat covering her body... the dream was always the same...being ripped from her father's shoulders..*snap**hiss* the red glow..the arc of blood spray hitting her in the face...her mother's arms..reaching for her...their screams blending with one another....the crackle..the blue light as she watched her mother's body go limp and fall to the ground....hands..roughly grasping her...*snap**hiss* a blue glow..the hands dropping her..being gently caught..the voice...soft..warm..kind.."you're safe now child......Ka'all...."How long had she slept..where were they now..." she automatically reached for the locket...always around her neck...quickly standing, she dressed in simple robes..checked herself in the mirror..the color was returning to her face. Opening the door using the Force, she made her way to the bridge... "De'avril?...
