Private Holostle Takeover

Dekaltis was ecstatic. She had been promised a planet, an entire planet. Why? Because she asked nicely!

She skipped to the front of the massive ship, a habit she had formed since being taken in by Darth Malum. She'd also taken several other habits up, including occasionally annoying the crew, and disassembling pretty much any weapon she could get her hand on. She had been instructed by her master not to kill any of the crew, but that didn't stop her from practicing her powers on them. She was more than happy to fix their weapons, and use them as guinea pigs for training sessions.

As they exited hyperspace, which Dekaltis had taken a habit to stare right into it as they flew, she let out a giddle squee. "Master! There it is! My new planet!"​

 

[Darth Malum of House Marr]

Sometimes he knew after committing to an action, that he would certainly come to regret it. One might ask in that instance why he simply did not just say no, and try to walk back from the decision, for after all before a deed was committed, there was technically infinite opportunity to step away from it.

Such was certainly a consideration in Malum's mind as he gazed out to the rugged, mountainous world ahead of him, his hands behind his back, as he wondered what exactly had gone through his mind to commit to this course.

Oh yeah, as the glimmers of light broke the planet's surface.

Adarlon, one of the entertainment and tourist capitals of the galaxy.

Even under the rule of the Sith Empire, it was able to maintain such a reputation.

Ironically enough, and the main reason he had committed to this course... he could not imagine a world, the very world that the holographic medium became a staple, the galaxy over, for this apprentice... the rather... eccentric Darth Dekaltis . Such a world, at least aesthetically seemed a match made in heaven, furthermore, it would allow her a base to boost what she was already rather excellent at when it came to activities on the Holonet.

And it would hopefully teach her some responsibility.

On the other hand, he could come up with about a thousand reasons that this was a terrible idea.

The least of which was that this was his eccentric apprentice, Darth Dekaltis.

Alas, there was even more reason that at least necessitated this course, with the Emperor's recent announcement regarding the opening of the Dark Council, moves were being made across every quarter to secure support for one faction's rise to supremacy at the right-hand of His Imperial Majesty.

For all he saw sought in the future, his continual rise had to be continued.

Support in the Assembly would certainly achieve that.

And though he thought of himself better than the use of a puppet to achieve it... if he was able to secure upon his apprentice a seat at the Assembly...

...Well it would definitely be a victory for him and his.

That still did not ease the trepidation that Dekaltis was unready for this responsibility.

Too... eccentric for this responsibility.

But, the dice was cast, and he would help her as much as possible.

Turning to note her shorter, skipping form, as she joined him by the bridge.

A small smile gracing his lips at the childish way in which she regarded the task ahead of them, the responsibility to be hers.

It should have concerned him too... but, that could come later.

"Indeed, Adarlon, now tell me, did you study everything about the world as I asked you to? A governor must know all they can of the world that they plan to rule."

 

[Darth Dekaltis]

...study?

She stared for a moment, as her mind scanned the holonet, learning everything she could in that instant. She had a knock for speed reading, and her cybernetic eye allowed her visual access to anything the holonet could offer.

"....yes?" No. "But that won't matter, right? I can make the planet whatever I want it to be!"
