"Why? Not a fan of people who don't obey your precious laws?" Cale asked, aiming to draw her attention back.

Mordranna turned back to him. "It's not that. I figured that, well ... what with my past profession, you would not wish for me to be around," she said sheepishly. "And, just so you know, I found most Imperial laws to be ridiculous. Certainly, you don't think a good girl would stay with the Imperial regime after her term of service, yes?" giving him a mild smirk.

"That was in the past. Frankly Im still wrapping my head around Chicktroopers." He said with a shrug. "I mean, its not like your a jedi or something. those guys I can't stand."

Imperius snorted at the Twi'lek.
"Serpent? You sicken me, true to your name," he commented, as they transported from ship to ship. When he met Valycia, he presented her the Serpent.
"Here, a present for you. Use her, kill her, makes no difference to me. You may commence the attack on Dac whenever you are ready. I will not join you though, I will be assisting in the testing of Project Black Void."

Mordranna merely chuckled and shook her head. "Well ... a girl's gotta earn college money somehow, yes?" She smiled at him warmly, trying not to balk at the Jedi comment. I wonder why he doesn't like Jedi, she mused. But then, she didn't feel that it was the time to press such an issue. But then ... he does deserve the truth. But how do I tell him that I'm one of those people he can't stand? "Oh, I see ... anything about the Jedi you particularly dislike?"

"They killed my mother and father right in front of me." He said in a semi dark tone. "That and not a single one of them give a damn about anything but themselves."

" I take it we're just leaving the shuttle there, or gonna destroy it? " Angel asked. " I'd rather join you and see what this project is, but our little present for Mon Calamari would be a good chance for our new friend here to show us what she can do. Once I drop you off, I'll take her there and then come back to join you. So, where do you want me to land? "

"On the B.V. sector 3." Imperius answered, gazing at the stars.

" Okay then, here we go. " Angel said, as she brought up the destination on the ship's computer and maxed the throttle. Before reaching the landing spot, she commed the Loyalist fleet Admiral.
Admiral, I believe the strike team has had time to sabotage enough of Mon Calamari's defenses, so commence the attack now. I want every available fighter, trooper, laser turret, and warhead blowing everything apart. As you wish, Lady Valycia. ALL FORCES, ATTACK NOW!
Angel switched off the com, and within a few moments, the Sundered Rose reached its destination. " Okay, we're here. "

Neb was pacing, up and down. Every minute the Federation stalled meant that more time to prepare. And Neb would savor every minute of it. But things would move too slowly, and as usual, someone would jinx the entire thing. Though Neb caught himself, it was too late.
"This is too smooth... something's wrong..."
With that, a com on Neb's belt buzzed, oddly from the Kapella. Neb recieved it, knowing full well only one person would hail him from that.
"What is it Hudson?"
"It seems someone isn't playing nice."
"Don't drag the point out. This isn't the time. Be concise."
"I caught someone snooping around the ship. Seems he's quite ready to blow the joint up."
"Any identification on who it is?"
"Well, a traitor by the looks of the gear. Possibly Loyalist. No pointing fingers. Seems this one was a bit too anxious to blow our magazine of twelve high yield torpedoes and see this thing light up. Unfortunately, he didn't know I was here."
"Current status?"
"Incompacitated."
"Hudson, you know my limitations. You know what the rules are. Shutting down."
Neb turned the com off, and resumed working. While this one sabeteour was found, Neb had a bad feeling that there were more to be found.
"Gunny," he paged, "Keep your guard up. Hudson played the kings guard. Your move."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hudson, having finished communications, began what he foudn to be the best part of prisoners being captured: Interrogation.
Time was of the essence, and he didn't get much out, only a name. Probably false. For the next half hour, he would begin the mind games, and eventually, the sabeteour would be dead.

Imperius landed within the cool sterile corridors of the testing facility, and turned only to see Valycia and the Serpent depart in the Sundered Rose. Everywhere he walked, the researchers parted to the sides and he continued through the facility until he reached the last facility, with a door marked TESTING DO NOT ENTER.
Imperius disregarded the sign and entered the room, which was a sterile white with lab researchers running amock. The sign was merely a ploy, there was no testing actually going on within the room itself, but rather, the testing would be in the skies above. One of the head researchers lead Imperius through the room through a blast door, which turned out to be yet another sterile white room: this time, a hangar.
The room was humongous, as it was actually underground. In the center of the room, was a large black sphere, with almost a two kilometer radius. Upon viewing it from the distance, one may have thought it to be the Death Star, but Project Black Void was not. The superweapon was perfectly smooth, with only one entrance in it. The entire sphere was a viewport, with the windows tinted the same shade of black to make it look erely smooth. Imperius entered the weapon through the one door, which closed swiftly.
Step One: Complete

Mordranna looked to Cale, taking in his words, slightly taken aback by the darkness in his tone. To her, this was clearly not the action of Jedi. And, it did bother her, though she did her best not to show it. "Are you sure that your parent's killers were Jedi? This sounds more like something that a Sith would do," she reflected. "I've always been taught that Jedi are good and selfless." She thoughtfully added. That is not the act of a Jedi. I don't wish to call him a liar, but something about his statement doesn't add up - what transpired anyway? She then thought back to her time with Darth Valycia - Angel. She too was once under the impression that Jedi killed her family. But, until she could learn the truth of what Cale had told her, she didn't have much else to go on.

As part of his routine, Ztaph silently commed the other team members to keep tabs on their progress with sabotaging everything. When the next one he commed didn't respond, he knew it meant only one thing. He commed everyone else again with the order to switch to their special armors and begin an attack from the inside. Within moments, the team ditched their disguises and began gunning everything in sight, while the Loyalist fleet came closer to striking distance with squad after squad of fighters and bombers leading the way.
_______________________________________________________
After the Dark Lord disembarked the ship, Angel took off for Mon Calamari. " Okay, Serpent, time to see what you can do. "
