Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hudson walked in, just as Neb predicted. "Sir, we've got contact that the shard is on Vergresso Spaceport. According to the gungan, and the bothans, its in the hands of one Cale Darksun. But if some hot shot gambler is the only thing standing in our way, then it shouldn't be too hard to extract, right?"

"We shall worry about that later," Neb said dismissing the Calimarian. "And Mordranna, you give me too much credit. While my head is often much stronger than my will, that does not mean my heart still does not feel pains. Its just... its almost as if I was living backwards in time. I know what will happen, and I know what I will do. I can't get angry at you. You're not that blasted Valkirie anymore. You're Mordranna, Jedi knight. And you didn't kill my parents. You killed their murderer. And for that, I am grateful... Though you must understand if our friendship changes. Even the best of jedi know about emotion. The difference is if they control it or not. But our mind fatigues, whereas, our heart does not. And with that, one can only hope that love for you will beat the hatred for the valkirie."

Neb stood up, and smoothed out his robes. "But let us not talk about such history. That is for the classroom. Come, my duckie. We've arrived at the fleet. Though its only a short hop to the Vergresso Spaceport, if you wish to join."

Mordranna merely smiled at Neb. "You're quite kind." she told him with a bow. She then straightened up and smoothed her robes, as well. "Even after graduating to a knight, I still feel that I have a lot to learn."
"Your offer is indeed kind, Neb. However, I can't shake off this feeling regarding Ganil. Plus, I'm rather iffy on marching into a station with an outlaw population. One encounter with my former life, if you will, is enough for me. And, I'd just as soon not have it follow me - or you - to where you're going, particularly if it would hamper your objectives there. That being said, I'm grateful for what you said. That part of me is gone. However, some folks are a bit slower about learning such things." She then took a drink of water, and cleared her throat before continuing. "The sensation I felt seemed centered around Ganil. Perhaps it's nothing, but still, I wish to know for myself, and what caused it." She then regarded Neb with another smile. "Classroom ... if I'm to become a master, it seems that in any case, I should experience more, and go out into the galaxy to gain wisdom, as well as knowledge. But, that's a concern for another day."
She then gave him another bow. "The best of luck, Neb, and I hope that we shall indeed meet again. In the meantime ... may the Force be with you."

Dark Heaven
One of many rocks that orbited the star known as Vergresso
And within that rock, was some of the worst bacteria of the galaxy: Thugs, Bounty hunters, spice dealers, pimps, slavers, bootleggers, murderers, assasins, gun runners, ship jackers, thieves, privateers, mercenaries, gamblers, drunks, and of course outlaws.
One such Outlaw Was Cale Darksun.
Amid the scum and the villany, Cale felt at home. he had met up with his friends and had did his best to return the supplies the had dropped him, mostly by treating them to a drunken revel. they had departed to the stars to return to their varied tasks. While it had been fun, the partying had hit him hard in the wallet. so here he was at a the Lucky Strike, one of several small gambling halls that were native to Vergresso. He had been taking a rather healthy haul and right now was just killing time with a friendly game.
His opponents at the sabacc table were a Mon Cal smuggler and his Twi'lek 1st mate, A rabbit like Lepi, and a Klatooinian merc. they seemed a decent group but he didn't want to win too much. The Klatoonian carried an old clonetrooper heavy rifle and seemed rather proficient with it. But Cale wasn't worried. if anyone was going to get vaped it would be the Lepi, who was using a skifter.
Cale glanced at his hand, took a swig of his lum and set himself for a slight loss.

Angel dozed off, but didn't have any dreams. She awoke rejuvenated, feeling her energy return. After freshening up a bit, she went into the training room and practiced both her lightsaber skills, and Force powers. Once she had practiced a little, she went to the Dark Lord. " So, what's on Byss? " she asked.

The Kapella reached the outlaw spaceport quicker than Neb had wished; he hadn't finished the chapter yet. Disgruntled, he took the craft to the hangar bay, and after half an hours worth of discussion, and various promises on not breaking treaties, and such, and not revealing the location, yadda yadda, Neb finally landed. He failed to mention that any Bothan could find this place if chose to have it shut down, but he was obligated to buy at least one thing while here, to validate his excuse for being there in the first place.

"Hudson, take Gunny with you. Search the locality, ask around, do whatever. I have a feeling he's in the third casino. I have a hunch. And I'm feeling lucky today."

With that, the calimarian and the spike-haired human left, as Neb resumed his reading.

The Dreg pulled out of hyper space. The scans showed nothing but a asteroid field.

" What in the nine heavens is this? Drako?!?!" Novara commed for Drako.

" Drako! Please report to the Bridge." The Dreg stayed out of the field.

Drakos foot steps could be heard coming down the hall.

Thud-Click-click-click Thud-Click-click-click

Drako was not him self. Nor was he even in his body. His new suit was larger.

Walking into the bridge.

" Now that the party is here..... Novara get your men ready. Get this ship ready. He is here...."
