Delirium of Dreams Elyria's breath caught in her throat...she paused before turning..wide-eyed to face the pirate, her hand instinctively reaching for her locket...there was none of the cocky false bravado the pirate normally put on..no innuendo..the man was laid bare..evident by the tears welling in his eyes..swallowing, Elyria placed her hand gently on his arm..her voice soft... Dawson...I....your daughter...where is she now?

 Tygren Darach
Tython~ Mahara Kesh
"As you say master." he bowed his head unable to complete a full bow with her hand on his shoulder. 'There is knowledge, there is power, and through Power we will gain Victory' he though mixing the codes of the je'daii and sith, his plan to bring balance to the force required someone to walk a dark path. The zabrak and vornskr made their way to the turbolift and rode back to the residential section of the temple. There was a steady trail of water as the pair made it into their quarters, his master had made special accommodations to get his student a room in the temple. "Alright girl, lets get something cooking, and then its time to soak in the hottest water the temple can provide!"

 Delirium of Dreams his eyes watered again and a smile found its home briefly "Once Daliah was talking we decided it would be best for her to live as normal of a life as possible, I see her as often as I can but unfortunately it is not as often as I wish." with the back of his hand he brushed the tears out of his eyes " I trust my sister, but I still have several men in the neighborhood for security reason. My little girl is to observant, she thinks daddy is a secret agent." a smile found its way back to his face remembering the day she told him she knew what he did for a living. "So there you have it, my deepest darkest secret, is perhaps the one thing left that brings me true joy. Understand the level of trust I am imparting on you, and know that if any harm comes to her now that you know of her existence...." his face turned very dour "They say hell hath no fury like a woman's wrath, they never met her protective father."
a smile pushed back his checks but the grim expression still remained.

Delirium of Dreams "They say hell hath no fury like a woman's wrath, they never met her protective father." Elyria listened..barely breathing.. ..if your secret is discovered, it won't be from me...you have nothing to fear... she began pacing in the small space, her hands fingering the locket around her neck... ...but..this changes everything..I couldn't possibly... she stopped and turned to face him you can't come with me...drop me off...I will give you the co-ordinates to my Home...you can take her there yourself...you can't risk your life for a cause you don't believe in..if you have agreed to this simply to insure Daliah's safety you have it..you will have done what I asked...you have too much to live for to throw your life away on something meaningless to you...the Je'daii would not turn you away.... her eyes were pleading I have the datapad..I have the Force...I am not looking for trouble..I should in all likelihood be able to slip in quietly with the information contained here and make my way out..I have escaped before against much greater odds..it is a way of life to the Je'daii...please...do not risk your daughter's safety... her future for my cause...

Delirium of Dreams "My dear, you are in no position to tell me what I can and can't do, besides I doubt the rest of your order would welcome me with open arms, especially not after what I did to get their attention." he shook his head declining her offer. "This cause is not meaningless to me, why I suspect we have different motives we both want the Empire out of the picture. Be it personal or political we have the same interest and it is best we see this through together, you can trust in your force and hope trouble does not find you, but I prefer to carry a good blaster to ensure trouble will have trouble with me." he slid his thumbs into his belt tugging it down slightly allowing the hilt of his aforementioned weapons to catch the light briefly. "I risk more staying behind than I do going with you, the palace will be teeming with valuable intel, as well as valuables, knowing the when and the where of troop movements could help strike a crippling blow to the Empire, besides I did say this would make a good story."

Delirium of Dreams Elyria smiled warmly..she reached her hand to his face and gently removed the remnants of his tears..her palm resting on his cheek for just a moment, she looked in his eyes I won't let it out, but..you are a good man... her face suddenly colored at the intimacy of the moment and she quickly removed her hand and stuffed it in her pocket.. well..then..I guess we're partners.. taking her hand out of her pocket she pointed at the datapad.. I haven't checked it thoroughly, but there may be information about troop movement contained in there..judging by his uniform, the Imperial was with the Intelligence division..I'm sure there is much hidden there we can use... she remembered the family photo and regretted speaking so freely..for some reason she didn't want Dawson to see that..perhaps she felt a need to protect Zara and her brother..from what or why she did not know...

Delirium of Dreams I won't let it out, but..you are a good man...
"Even if you did, I doubt you'd find a soul who'd believe you." he let out a chuckle at the notion of being the good guy "Besides those are the lot that always get themselves killed in fool idealistic crusades, i'll stay the lovable fiend you cant help but secretly root for."I haven't checked it thoroughly, but there may be information about troop movement contained in there..judging by his uniform, the Imperial was with the Intelligence division..I'm sure there is much hidden there we can use..."Now that would be useful wouldn't it? Ive managed to slip men into the imperial army but given the background of those I tend to attract, well they never quite make intel. Though I suspect that information will be encrypted several times over, I could never crack the code myself but luckily we have droids eh partner?" he motioned at the datapad and Zero-Zero disconnected it from the holo display and plugged the cables into its arm "Not what he was designed for, but he does have some software that may help."

Delirium of Dreams Wait - do you think it's safe? I removed some programming that would cause a datawipe if tampered with..I may not have gotten it all..it might be wiser to try and do it manually - the droid's speed may activate one of the failsafes and then all would be lost!

Delirium of Dreams "In theory that would be irrelevant, part of the programming is to copy and compress the data incase of such an event but as I said it is an older program and not what this droid was designed for, however it is a risk we should not take." he let out a whistle and shook his head, the droid paused and unhooked the cable from the device and presented it towards the je'daii. "I am more hardware, you can handle the software eh?"

Delirium of Dreams Elyria grabbed the datapad and took a seat once again relieved the family photo had not surfaced...yet..there would be time to explain that later if necessary... so..you think our best bet is to enter the utility room and proceed from there?..if only I knew where to start...the dungeons were probably the last place Master Endar was held...but I doubt there's be much to find there..beside the fact that there are probably Force suppressing devices there..and it would be the last place we'd want to be discovered... Elyria chuckled.. I'm thinking he was subjected to some sort of mind control...we'd probably want to check the research facilities...maybe this can show me where some of these paths lead... she looked up.. were you serious about learning to use the Force..or was that for Daliah?

Delirium of Dreams "If they follow typical imperial procedure, yes, but this is the palace I doubt it will be that easy. I would reccomend "Interrogating" one of the officers that we'll find in the Devil. Nothing to violent just a little inquisitive pillow talk to be sure." he chuckled at the notion of force suppression "When they can suppress slug throwers and good old vibrating steel then we have the real problem, and even then they won't be able to dull my honey dipped silver tongue." he paused pondering her question "Knowledge is certainly powerful, and knowledge over the force is seemingly invaluable. I am interested but not enough so at the moment to give up what I am doing. You may see me as a braggard full of bluster, but as we speak men and women are working around the clock bringing star ships and space stations back online. When I killed the hutt on nar shadaa it put a series of events in motion I cant stop, and if i disappear there is no telling what they will do."

Delirium of Dreams "If they follow typical imperial procedure, yes, but this is the palace I doubt it will be that easy. I would recommend "Interrogating" one of the officers that we'll find in the Devil.But these are secret entrances..off the grid...but then again..if he could pinpoint the areas we're looking for..perhaps we can piece together the path to follow... she paused..her mind working the possibilities... "When they can suppress slug throwers and good old vibrating steel then we have the real problemElyria laughed, pulling aside her own cloak to reveal the blaster at her hip... there was a time when the original Jedi relied only on their wits and the Force..as "terrorists" we have learned there are times when other means of protection are necessary...as we speak men and women are working around the clock bringing star ships and space stations back online. When I killed the hutt on nar shadaa it put a series of events in motion I cant stop, and if i disappear there is no telling what they will do." eyebrow arched just what do you mean? ..for or against you?..and..if this is true..why now..of all times would you undertake this "adventure" when the balance of power is so precarious?

Delirium of Dreams just what do you mean? ..for or against you?..and..if this is true..why now..of all times would you undertake this "adventure" when the balance of power is so precarious? "They were all loyal men and women, if not to me then to our cause, that being the eradication of the Sith Empire. They work for me, or at the very least those loyal to me, but it will take time for them to gather, days, weeks, maybe even months depending on the numbers and state of the equipment. If I disappear off of the face of the galaxy there are two outcomes that come to mind. The first is that they simply lash out against the Empire, for all of our might and numbers we are still out manned and out gunned. They would be another upstart that was eradicated, a small foot note on the pages of history. The second out come is more likely as much as I dislike it, they simply return to being brigands and attack what ever targets of opportunity they happen to come across." he scowled as he spoke. "It took Varana several years to get them to band together, and it took me twice as long to convince more to join and be willing to wait. I will not let her life's work be obliterated." The pirate sighed heavily trying to bury the memories that were rushign back to the surface. A smile took hold of his lips once more "Besides this adventure, as you call it, is beneficial to us both. You gain the information you need, and I gain all i need to sabotage and hopefully cripple, the Imperial war machine. If I wasn't doing this I would be with Sareesh, or managing the Devil and honestly both of those are left in someone elses hands at this point I have been idle for far to long."

Delirium of Dreams listening intently, Elyria couldn't help but smile.. we aren't so different..you and I...though as Je'daii we believe more in Balance than eradication..we know the Empire must be stopped..they are like a virus...corrupting the Galaxy...we need to shift the power back to the people...the Empires greed and lack of humanity has tainted too many lives..lives like poor Zara...a girl so beaten down by life she lusts for power and control..but it fixes nothing..it just propagates more pain for those she can exact a senseless revenge against...with this... she tapped the datapad. I hope we can gain a small advantage..of course I must turn it into my people when all is said and done...but.. she smiled again perhaps Ought Ought can copy the data beforehand...we both want the same ends...working together...we just may be able to pull this off...striking from within..perhaps we can pinpoint a weakness...beside the obvious lust for wealth and power...there has to be something... she paused a moment before she gently laughed... of course first we must survive!...I guess the Je'daii and the pirates are not so different after all

Delirium of Dreams "You would be surprised how often the outlaws and outcast mimic what most would call civilized or proper society." The pirate smiled glad that the woman had given no sign that she was against his cause. "Surviving is something else we have in common, let us hope that we continue to do so."
