Welcome to Gaia! ::

From hyperspace, the ISD appeared. A pair of Predators took off as a small shuttle exited the hangar. Ferno watched from the deck as Wryylok moved towards the planet, and felt his back twitch. One of the deck officers noted the movement.

"Anything wrong, Sir?" he asked mildly, watching his step.

"The Master has no such quandries as worry. Only annoyance." HM replied, as if on cue. The ship entered orbit, as Ferno waited for Wryylok to attend a meeting and hopefully (and knowingly) secure the planets resources.

((Insists on? I've been waiting on you forever. To the point that I don't remember the last time I was in the skin of Vaan.))

Vaan opened a vidscreen once the hail came in. He crossed his arms and stood, piercing daggers through his glowing red eyes at the other Chiss.

"This is Commander Kev'aa'nuruodo of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, laison between the Chiss Ascendancy and the Galactic Empire of Roan Fel and Imperial Agent. Now you explain yourself. What is your purpose in hailing me?" Vaan asked as he played it off as though he didn't know who the man was.

Sickening. He doesn't even go by a traditional name.

Ferno, forced to wait upon the ISD Mk. II Slayer, stood motionless on the deck. For over an hour nothing happened, as he expected it would not.

"Transmission from Coruscant," an officer said.

"Patch it through," HM replied. Up on the view screen, the face of Lady Malady appeared.

"Ferno, by direct orders of Krayt, he wishes you to review these planets, and the leaders of key factions across the galaxy which we believe need securing. You will be placed under my command, as not all of these leaders are to be executed. Some will be removed, and then interrogated as to issues which we believe pertinent. The list will be sent immediately."

The Vidscreen went blank, as Ferno gave a quick nod, somewhat embarassed he was reduced to listening to a woman, one which had no passion.

"She is as lazy as she is incompetant," HM remarked, as he downloaded the file to his own memory banks. "Our next move after the securing of Bespin should be Bestine. The aquatic facilities will provide resources of great potential to Krayt. Should we succeed, Kuat Drive Yards will dedicate one Pallaeon-class Star Destroyer to us, as per Krayt's orders. A generous bribe, if I say so myself, Master."

Ferno nodded. He had full intention of getting this job done. Quickly, HM ordered the Slayer to begin a full orbit of the planet, and then prepare to jump in three standard hours. finally, Ferno moved, and headed deeper into the ISD.

((goes real well with ESB soundtrack, piece 4, on board the executor/the probe))

Freya gave a slight yawn, giving the wookie a chuckle. "Aww, you mean I totally don't get to eavesdrop on you and Rusty telling old stories?" She then added, "Gorry, like, take us outta here."
Making her way back to the bunks, she queried Aurora. "So, like, did you bring your swim-suit?"

Elladan glared at the other Chiss. "I was sent a general transmission from your ship a few days ago. You are aparantly looking for me. Care to explain?"

He looked sideways briefly to Sven, while the link was strengthened.

" Alright, let's go. " Angel said, sitting in the pilot's seat of her gunboat as R1's hatch closed after he rolled in. The Sundered Rose took off, following just out of sight of the Aldera Ballet. " Just remember not to bring the weapons back up for now. I don't want them to think we're going to attack. " < And if/when you have me take over flight controls, to stay just out of range. I know. ... By my calculations, it appears they are heading for Mon Calamari. >

((Yeah, but I realized that a few hours was a vast understatement when compared to all of the Hyperspace times in the EU. It might be less than two days but it's much more than six hours. It was my fault. We can ignore the previous mistake, or I can go retcon it if you like.))
