Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ztaph and his 2 teamates continued to slowly advance while keeping a sharp eye out for traps, edging closer and closer to the end, and the rest continued to stay at the entrance, gunning down any guards that would try to trap them inside the corridor.

" Boarding party? Wait, is it just us against Republic forces in here? " Angel asked, in a slightly worried tone, as she didn't like these kind of suprises. " Well, I guess we'll just have to take them all out together. " She looked at the Dark Lord, waiting for him to decide what to do.

" Oh. I thought you meant we were followed here. We still have my gunboat, but at best that can only serve to get us from place to place. We need a new home... Unless this place has living quarters. I'd imagine it does. " Angel said. " I figured as much about those 'friends' of ours when you came out with that Twi'leek in a shuttle and ship exploded. A shame. I really liked the Eclipdra. " She waited a moment, and started to take a little more serious tone, though it was evident she was a bit nervous about the subject. " Since we're alone here, I was wondering... If I could ask you something... a bit personal... Have you... ever been... in love? "

Imperius was dumbfounded.

"Does it make a difference int his situation at all?" he grumbled.

"Probably." he said. "The Jedi only care about me because I have something they want." he replied. His eyes borring into hers, he continued. "When someone who has given me every right and reason to hate them in the past saves my life, I have to ask myself why they would do this since it is out of character for them. It means they have an alterior motive for my continued survival. Say what you want about the jedi, how they're "heroes, good, and the defenders of the galaxy." Ive heard all the arguements. They don't hold up to the jedi in action." He looked away and his eyes went a bit vacant as a vision from the past overtook his sight.

He was huddled in the closet with his big sister Valera as his mother and father stood ouside.
A brilliant red beam cut through the door and the door burst open.
In strode a tall dark man breathing on a forebodding sounding resperator, a jedi. father blasted at him with his Deck sweeper carbine but the bolt was blocked by that awful red saber. The dark man strode in and cut father's hands off and then his head. The grisly object rolled right infront of he and his sister's hiding place and they looked with Horror upon the last grimace of their father. Cale would have screamed had his sister not silenced him by placing her hand over his mouth.
The jedi turned to mother and demanded to know where the rest of the clan was hiding. She refused to answer and hurled herself at him, attacking with her vibrocutlass. The Dark man parried the move with ease and sliced her weapon apart. He demanded again for her to tell him. she spat at him and pulled a knife from her sleave to begin the attack anew. The dark man simply moved his hand and mother began to choke on some unseen force. She dangled in the air, gasping and choking until the dark man clenched his fist.
"If you do not know, then you are of no further use to me." The Jedi said in a monstrously deep voice.
Her bones snapped in her neck and she fell limp. The sound of them cracking could be heard throughout the room.
The Jedi shut off his lightsaber, gave a slow survey of the room, and then turned and left.
Cale and his sister were alone. It would stay that way for ever more.

Cale snapped back to reality. The Jedi were to blame for what happened to him. There can be no mistake.
He needed a drink.
He stood up from the bench and looked to her. "Theres nothing you can do to change my opinion of the jedi. But I don't want to talk about it anymore. I need a drink. You interested?" he cast a glance to Cajin. "You can come too. only trouble is is that I ain't buying for either of you."

Gunnie returned some fire, as the two guards came out, glancing one and missing the other, while he backed into the next outcropping. He pulled out a fairly large metallic ball, about the size of a thermal detonator, and threw it down the hallway. Hopefully, his trap would work, as he set up a mirror where he currently was, and watched ever so closely to see if someone would pop out and expose themselves to throw it back.

Fett managed another tracer onto Drako's ship, but he kept Imperious' orders in mind. Enough time had passed; now he was to meet him on Borleis. He checked his ship's status quickly and launched into hyperspace.

"A drink...? Sounds good to me." said Cajin. "I could probably use one too."
Hitting the bottle again?
Eh, it's just a friendly drink.
What is it they say, one is too many, two is too few?
I'm not going to get drunk, I'm just going to drink with a couple of new...aquaintances.

Mordranna settled into the booth, seating herself across from Cale. "We met briefly, and went on a mission for the Republic," she offered. "And ... I'll take some mead,"
