A Change of Pace

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Pulling [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] back onto her feet, Tugoro would take a step back, smiling to the woman as she extended her own hand. Shaking it with a firm grasp, the young man would deactivate his saber, the blue glow of it's plasma disappearing with a hiss. He didn't think of Jade any less because of this, he simply knew that she hadn't been in action for quite some time. Tugoro had grown up in a time of war, and had been fighting in them since he was sixteen. He had been relatively active in the war, though not as active as he could have been. He spent most of his time pursuing petty criminals and Sith Lords away from the battlefield.

"You weren't so bad. The Masters always said I was powerful, anyway," Tugoro spoke, trying to reassure the woman of her competence. "Maybe I can teach you some techniques later." Despite what she thought, she had done well, and could probably do even better after some real adventures. The Death Star would surely have something in store for the duo, whether it be scavengers or left over... Cannibals, was it? Yeah, cannibal stormtroopers. Exiting the small room, the young man would beckon towards the room, ushering for her to follow him as he returned to the locker room. Slipping back into his jacket and boots, Tugoro was surprised to find that the dojo was completely empty. There wasn't a trace of life within it, besides the two Knights that were just leaving. "This is... Strange." The Jedi spoke quietly to himself, cautiously looking around before he walked through the doorway, heading to the Starport.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"Yeah no one is around, the place is deserted. Yet I sense no trace of foulness in the air. Could be everyone are busy doing other stuff or something."

Jade pointed out as the two made their way back to the starport. It was also late in the night now. Most people would have retired for the night, gone home to sleep and so forth. Jade noticed that now all the shops and restaurants had closed up. They must have been training for some time as the hours most certainly had gone past fast. Their ships were just as they had left them once they reached the starport.

"So young man, before we head out, do we get some extra supplies before we go? There is a small emporium just over there".

Jade pointed in the direction of where it was. It was one of few places on this world that never closed.

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

[member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] was wrong. Or, at least, that was what the force was telling his mind. The young man's danger sense was constantly flaring, but jsut as she had said, there was no foulness about. No life, no hostility. Just the two of them. It was getting dark as well, so perhaps the dojo had closed for the night. But, you'd think someone would have came to tell them. Shrugging off the strange feeling and ignoring it, Tugoro simply smiled to Jade and spoke, "Yeah, you're right," before walking with her to the Starport. The night was quiet, the streets dimly lit by various lamposts that lined the walkways. It was relatively safe to walk at night in Coronet city, seeing as crime was not as rampant here as lets say, Nar Shaddaa.

Heading towards the docking bay where he had landed his Aleph, the young man would pause as Jade pointed out the Emporium, something that slightly piqued the Jedi's interest. However, he did not really need any supplies at the moment, and was just anxious to leave. Reaching within his jacket, Tugoro would unclip his blaster holster, pulling out his military issued blaster pistol, inspecting it's cartridge and the gauge along the weapon. The clip was low on gas, he would probably need some ammunition. "Think they sell ammo for my blaster?" the Knight questioned, not really knowing what he needed to search for specifically. Maybe Jade did.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"I'm sure they would have ammo for that blaster. In reality though there is only one way to find out."

Jade would give the young Jedi a cheesy grin before momentarily excusing herself to duck into her ship and retrieve an Imperial Repeater Gun.

"I hope they got plenty of ammo for this sexy baby here."

Jade would show off her prized toy to the young man. It wasn't very Jedi like of her to be even be possessing such weapons, however Jade wasn't the everyday common Jedi.

"I've had this from when I was an Imperial pilot. One of troopers who had a crush on me back in the day gave it to me."

Jade stood tall and proud as she spoke, her posh accent really standing out.

"So shall we go see what they have then."

She finished off saying pointing in the direction of the emporium.

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Nodding to [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]'s words, Tugoro would begin to head towards the nearby shop, before turning to look at the weapon she was hauling around. It was pretty big, almost like a rifle he had used once with the Rebellion. He wasn't a great marksman, that much was true. He had better aim in the safety of his Aleph, which was nearly invincible in battle. Speaking of such prized possessions, a confused frown would come across the young man's face briefly, as he pondered why a soldier would give away such a great looking weapon. He would never give away any of his toys, that was for sure. Smiling and shaking his head, Tugoro would turn back towards the emporium, still surprised that Jade was carrying that thing around.

Holstering his own blaster pistol, the Jedi would arrive within the shop, taking a few minutes to look around at the wares. Of course, there weren't any weapons or ammunition on open display, and so the lad approached the shop keeper, inquiring about any extra goods. That's how it usually worked in the movies, right? Taking a second to look around, the man behind the counter would press a button, causing metallic gates to drop from above the shop's entrance. He would then turn, beckoning the duo along towards a backroom.

Within there were racks with many types of weapons, and also dusty crates that appeared to be large shipments of ammunition for varying firearms. The shop owner kept a close eye on the two, but other than that they were relatively free to inspect what they wanted. Opening one of the plasteel crates, Tugoro found exactly what he was looking for. "Perfect." he spoke to himself, standing up and scrambling for some credits. Oh yeah, he didn't have any.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade knew what the young Jedi was thinking and would reply accordingly.

"Well when I was an Imperial, I was young, I was single and just as good looking as I am now. Men would do anything to pick me up, including giving me their prized toys."

Jade stood tall as she spoke proudly about herself, of course showing off mostly as she flung her hair around as she cranked her neck. They eventually went to take a look at what was available at the emporium and both were able to find the ammo they were looking for. [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] had no credits however. It was no problem for Jade though who was happy to pay for the both of them again. She did so and both would then leave the emporium and head straight for their ships.

"Oh and don't worry about paying me back. Consider this a gift from me to you."

Just as she said that, four rough looking humans apeared out of nowhere. Three men and one woman. They looked like bounty hunters and/or thugs, and all four were pointing their blasters at the two Jedi.

"You there Sunrider scumbag, put your hands in the air and don't move! And that goes for you too handsome."

The woman who appeared to be the leader of the gang angrily said to Jade, and then looked directly at Tugoro.

"I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

Jade would reply confused as she slowly put her hands up. She had no idea who these people were, but they clearly wanted her and knew at least her surname.

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro had no doubt that many men had wanted to 'pick her up' in the past, especially when came to being in the military. "I can't argue with that," Tugoro spoke, smiling slightly as he watched [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] flaunt her good looks about. She was lucky, for those powerful in the light side of the force actually tended to age much slower. Perhaps that was the case? After she had paid for the numerous power packs, the duo would exit the emporium and continue through the starport, back into their docking bay which had visitors, apparently.

Who were these people? Furrowing a brow in the groups direction curiously, the young man would play it cool, slowly lifting his hands into the air as he was told. He gave the gun wielding woman a brief wink as she called him handsome, hoping to lessen the chances of conflict. Then again, he may have bolstered it. Seeing as Jade appeared to be surrending, Tugoro figured that they should try to find out everything they could before things went sour. They knew Jade's name, so there had to be something up. Honestly, the Knight had thought that the group was coming for him at first. Glancing towards Jade out of the corner of his eye, he would then turn back to the gang of four before speaking, "Let's take it easy, wouldn't want to scar my face would you?" He spoke, half nervous and half confident.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Despite having a blaster pointed at her, Jade couldn't help but smirk at [member="Tugoro Taidarious"]' comment regarding scarring his face.

"Look here sunshine, I don't know how you got my name and truly I don't know who you are, but you will lower your weapons and leave us alone".

Jade waived her hand as she spoke those words to the woman holding the gun in an attempt to trick her using the Force.

"Ha! You stupid Jedi frak, you think you can use that fancy mind trick on me. I've been trained to resist all that. Now hands right up in the air before I put a hole through your chest Sunrider!"

The young woman was no fool and was determined to kill both Jedi, especially Jade if they failed to further not comply. However Jade had other ideas.

"Fine then, if you won't take a hike and leave us, then we'll do this the hard way".

Jade would calmly say before slightly lowering her hand, then using the Force, would yank the blaster out of the woman's hand and before any of her three men had realised what had happen, Jade had moved in on her, grabbed her in a head lock and put the woman's own blaster to the temple of her head. She pressed the blaster's nozzle hard on the woman's temple and stated her demands.

"Tell your men to drop all their weapons otherwise pop goes the blaster. Do it now!"

"You won't kill me Sunrider scumbag!"

"Not if I have no choice, and the way I see it, your men pointing their guns at me gives me little to no choice. Tell them to drop them now!"

Jade tightened her headlock grip on the woman as she further pushed the blaster's nozzle into her temple that it began to hurt the young woman.

"Okay, okay Jedi, you win."

She then ordered her men to drop their weapons who complied.

"Now who are the heck are you and what is this all about? Speak now!"

Jade demanded she speak up, but the woman simply would not. Well initially she didn't, but slowly, slowly Jade persuaded her to do so. Not with the Force, but with the pain she had been inflicting on her with her grip.

"So what is your boss' name then? Tell me now!"

But Jade would never find out. Somehow, the woman with her lose arm and hand that was dangling down as Jade was holding her in a headlock managed to reach for Jade's lightsabre. She wasn't able to take it from Jade, but was able to point it into the direction of the centre of her own torso. She also managed to turn it on allowing the lightsabre's purple blade to go straight through her heart killing her instantly. She had preferred to kill herself knowing that the Jedi was unlikely to kill her in order to not reveal any information. Jade was caught off guard and was momentarily stunned at seeing the young woman die in her arms by her own lightsabre. As she dropped the now deceased woman, the three remaining men decided to go for their weapons which lay on the floor before them. By this stage Jade had dropped the blaster and unclipped her now ignited lightsabre. The three men saw this, that they were now about to face two armed Jedi, yet they didn't care. And so the fight would begin.

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro had been hoping to avoid violence of any sort, for he had had enough for the time being. So, it was a bit disappointing as the young Knight watched [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] yank the other woman's blaster right out of her hand via the force. There were a few thoughts running through the young mans head right now, but he mainly wanted to cease and prevent any unnecessary violence that may occur out of the scuffle. Tugoro couldn't help but face palm as Jade put the thug into a headlock, despite the three others who were nearby. Sure, they had been disarmed, but it didn't take too long for them to rearm themselves by picking the blasters up off the ground. Stepping forward to intervene, Tugoro would gasp in horror as he watched the violet blade of plasma ignite, searing right through the gang leader's chest.

This was bad, really bad, especially if these people were sponsored bounty hunters from a guild. If memory served, Tugoro still had a bounty on his head, albeit low. Then again, it didn't really matter who it was, all that mattered was that their flunky had been afraid enough to kill themselves willingly. Or, that's what it looked like, judging by the equally shocked expression upon Jade's face. Lifting an arm and shooting it forward, Tugoro's robotic hand would form a firm grip around Jade's blade arm, specifically her wrist. He stared briefly at her with a stern look, before lifting his opposite hand which wielded his own blaster pistol. He wasn't exactly mad at the woman, he simply did not want her to do anything else that could get them in trouble.

It was better to avoid the use of sabers at all, on worlds like these. Using the force to enhance his reflexes and movements, the young Knight would take aim carefully and shoot three times at the gangsters point blank. Thanks to his control over the force, he was able to move fast enough, accurately hitting the thugs on each of their arms, making them fall to the ground in pain, while also dropping their weapons. Again. It wasn't wise to waste energy on people like these, and now they were still intact and ready for interrogation. Tugoro did have one question for Jade, though. "How big is your family?" He inquired curiously.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

As Tugoro tightly held onto Jade's wrist, he then went on to immobilise the other three men. No longer a threat to them he then released Jade's wrist. Jade clearly wasn't impressed at the matter.

"I wasn't going to kill them so that was not necessary. And for the record, the woman killed herself. Again I had no intention of killing her. By the way nice shooting."

Jade casually then walked up to each of the downed men and kicked their weapons away, just to make sure they couldn't get to them anymore.

"My family is spread out all over the place. I am Jade. Sunrider is the name of my late husband. I believe his ancestry goes all the way back to the Jedi Sunrider family from millennia ago. However it is too far back. From what I know he was from the unknown regions of the galaxy. Sajnen or something. We never talked about it much. Although his starfigher which I inherited, the Calder mit Arkhan seems out of this galaxy if you ask me. Who knows."

Jade shrugged making a I don't know gesture and then continued.

"I am Jade. That is my maiden name, My first name is Cynna. I go by Jade because when you marry into Sajnen society, you take the husband's surname and your maiden name becomes your first name. Thus why I am Jade Sunrider instead of Cynna Jade now. I've gone around as Sunrider for a very long time now. Years actually. Those thugs were after Sunrider. However I am sure I wasn't the right target. I have relatives with the Sunrider surname and some are not quite into legit business either. There is a good chance they could have been the real target. I guess only one way to find out isn't there."

Jade smile at the young Jedi and very roughly grabbed one of the men by the back of the neck and held him tightly upright. The other two were still unconscious and were of no concern.

"Okay Tugoro, since you seem to be better than me in the non use of violence, you can have the honour of interrogating this one."

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Letting go of [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]'s wrist as she spoke, Tugoro would take a step back, frowning slightly as he listened to what she said. "I know you didn't mean for that to happen. But it did, and the fact is that these three might have been crazy enough to throw themselves at your saber," the Knight concluded, simply having wanted to prevent any more death. Either way, he really did not like using lightsabers in public, for they attracted far too much unwanted attention. Something that Jade and her family were apparently good at. Corellia wasn't a place known for it's crime rate, but it still garnered attention from the usual people in the smuggling and pirate business.

After listening to Jade's family origins, Tugoro couldn't help but be slightly jealous. He wished he had been apart of some cool, ancient Jedi lineage. Even though it was possible that these gangsters had been sent after the woman, the more than likely story was that they had seen her name through the holonet, whether it be from hacking into public files or tracking their previous locations. They had signed up at the dojo after all, it was entirely possible. "You should probably seek out your family, and warn them. That is, if we don't get to the bottom of this now," Tugoro spoke, pausing afterwards to slowly look towards the gangster that Jade had hoisted to their feet. "It's not about non-violence, it's about being in control," the Knight continued after Jade's final remark, giving her insight into how he got things done.
​
The thug was a bit shaky, but so far he had managed to maintain his composure. Looking to Tugoro nervously, the older man would speak, "Feth off, you nerf-herder! Those Jedi mind tricks won't work on us..." He spoke, slowly growing silent as he observed the change in Tugoro's expression. The young man's gaze grew cold, narrowing slightly as he glared at the man in spite. "Mind tricks?" Tugoro questioned mockingly, seeing as he didn't even know how to perform one. His skills in telepathy were limited, and mind tricks were really a whole other step. Lifting his arm and aiming his open robotic palm at the man, Tugoro would slowly begin to clench his fingers together as he manipulated the flow of force energy within and around him. It would focus in and create a firm vice around the gangster's neck, causing him to sputter as it slowly got tighter. "Who do you work for? Tell us now." The Knight commanded, waiting for the thugs will to break. It would, eventually. And if it didn't, Tugoro would simply have to release him.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"Hum speaking of no violence."

Jade retorted as Tugoro had some sort of invisible grip around the thugs neck.

"But if your tactic works in the end, that will work for me too."

However the older man wouldn't talk. His resistance to pain and possible death was resilient. So Jade decided to simply intervene the way she knew best. The man wouldn't speak, yet he was thinking and as long as he was thinking, Jade would be able to read his mind.

"Oh so who is Ballen-Ist? Oh a Sith, yes indeed that he would be. He paid you a sum of credits to bring the imperial traitor before him."

The man although in pain, eyed Jade completely stunned at how she was able to read his thoughts with absolutely nothing.

"[member="Tugoro Taidarious"], you may release him. Clearly the Sith Lord that sent him wants me. I'm an ex Imperial, I'm the so called traitor."

Just as she finished speaking, the other two men started getting up. Both had other concealed blaster pistols. Jade would waste no more time with them. She knew her young Jedi companion wouldn't like what she was about to do. Using the Force she yanked the blaster from the first man and into her hand. Again using the Force she lifted the second man in the air and then Force threw him onto a nearby wall. The impact was so strong that he splattered blood and guts all over the wall and was soon dead.

"Nice piece!"

Jade then would say to the man she had yanked the gun from and shot him at point blank range to the head with his own blaster, killing him instantly as he dropped to the ground. She then threw the blaster to the side and faced Tugoro and the remaining thug that he was still holding with his invisible Force grip.

"Apologies in advance for the violence, but the universe can be a harsh place at times. If you think that was harsh, then you ain't seen anything yet."

She then grabbed the other man by the head and demanded to know why this Sith Lord wanted her now after so many years.

"I don't want to kill you and I won't unless you do something rash like your deceased pals over there. I was an Imperial almost 20 years ago. Why does he want me now? Who is he and was he the one who was responsible for murdering my parents? I was lied to by the Imperials. They killed my parents and then lied to me. I am no traitor. Where do I find this Ballen-Ist? Speak now?" Jade Yelled at the man despite maintaining a calm composure.

Yet the man would not talk, nor think for Jade to further read his mind.

"Okay then Tugoro, I can't read his thoughts if he doesn't think and he is being stubborn and won't talk. Get the information that I need from him with whatever means necessary."

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro was... Thoroughly terrified. Feeling the surge of force energy run throughout [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"], he knew she was about to do something rather over the top. The Sith's name was strangely familiar, though the young man could not exactly remember where he had encountered this person, if at all. Perhaps they were an acquaintance of Maleus.

Either way, now that they had gotten this small bit of information, the two were basically half way to their desired destination. Surely, no more violence was needed. Watching one of the armed thugs lift up into the air, the young Knight would gasp as he was sent flying towards one of the durasteel walls at top speed. With subtle use of his telekinetic prowess, Tugoro was able to cushion the man's impact, preventing him from exploding into a pile of blood and guts. Seriously, was Jade off her rocker? The man who hit the wall was definitely out now, having received a nasty concussion, and several broken bones. He was lucky to get away with his life, unlike the other man at the end of Jade's blaster pistol barrel.

The young man cringed visible as the bolt of energy shot forth, piercing the gangster's head and burning it badly. A hand would lift from Tugoro's side, rubbing at his temple in disappointment as he slowly walked towards the downed thug. Having released his grip on the man's neck, the young Knight would simply place a hand on the woman's shoulder, pulling her away slightly. "Alright, that's enough. We have what we came here for. If you take there ship, we can reverse track where they came from, maybe even get some transmissions," Tugoro would state, hoping Jade would leave the man alone. "Their ship is probably in the docking bay next to this one. Let's go, okay?" The Jedi could only imagine what Jade was feeling, seeing as he had never actually met any of his relatives. Even so, he knew it was something that shouldn't be dwelled upon.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Before they would head over to the ship that had belonged to the thugs, Jade put her hand on [member="Tugoro Taidarious"]' shoulder to stop him a moment. She breathed heavily as she spoke, clearly doing her best to hold her anger in. For now it was working.

"My parents were murdered by the Imperials when I was a mere child not much younger than you. They took me in and lied to me and I severed them for years unknowing the truth. That was until I met my now late husband Qi-Xian. I never really found out what happened to my parents. Yet these thugs are, I believe working for someone who does. Maybe the very person responsible. For them to call me a traitor would mean they were sent from someone who had known me as an Imperial all those years ago. Maybe just maybe I can finally reveal the truth. My parents have always remained close to my heart. I acted the way I did because there was one thing I had promised myself many years ago. That is that I will stop at nothing to bring to justice those responsible for their deaths. And don't confuse bringing to justice and avenging them as the same thing either because it isn't."

Jade's facial expression was one of sadness as she spoke, reminiscent to the facial expression that Tugoro had seen on her when she had first mentioned that she was once an Imperial pilot. Now he would know why. The two slowly then made their want to the ship they needed to investigate.

"We'll take out their navigational system and track where they came from with that. We both have Imperial ships so all we have to do is change our transponders to make us look like Imperials and then pretend to be Imperials when we get to wherever it is that they came from."

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Feeling [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] grab him by the shoulder, Tugoro would stop and turn around slowly, looking into her eyes as he noticed the sadness in them. The young Knight knew that Imperial regimes were never good news, and were almost always corrupt to some degree. He had never served in one, but he had fought against them many times over. The New Order was the most recent one he could think of, which was a remnant group of an older Sith Empire. As he listened to her story, Tugoro found it difficult to discern which faction Jade had belonged to. He had also heard of another faction that was slowly rising in power, the First Order.

He had read some old records on them, they had been rather powerful at one point. Either way, there was much passion in Jade's voice, and it was concerning. It was clear that she was on a dark path, but who wasn't in these times? The Sith were stronger than ever, and basically cornering all opposing groups. The Republic was crumbling, and some fled due to the stress of war. Tugoro did understand where she was coming from however, to a certain degree. He had given into his anger and passion before in the past. It wasn't a pleasant thing, even though the power was incredible. "Just... Be wary, Jade. There must be no passion behind the finishing blow. We will bring whoever is behind this into the light, but we must do so as Jedi," the young man explained, finding it hard to remember that the Republic had split with the Order.

Jedi were no longer members of the military, though they could choose to be if they wanted. The craft the thugs had piloted to Corellia was a rather simple one, a Hutt cargo freighter that was old and beat up. Waving his hand, the door would open and the boarding ramp would fall, allowing the two access to the inside of the ship. It smelled revolting, but luckly they wouldn't be in there for long. Stepping towards the cockpit and tapping on the buttons and consoles, Tugoro would bring up the craft's Transponder codes which were clearly of Imperial origin. "Do you recognize which Empire these belong to?" He questioned.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade looked at the codes before her and scratched her head in frustration. Nothing was making sense to her.

"The codes are definitely Imperial, however I do not recognise them. Although it doesn't mean they're not from the same Imperial faction I had served. It has been almost 20 years. In that time they could've changed their codes."

Jade looked around the ship, although she really couldn't wait to get off. The smell onboard was foul and gave off a horrible stench. It was making her stomach very unsettled and Jade felt that if she didn't get off the ship soon, that she would vomit her last meal out to further add to the terrible odour.

"I gotta get the hell off this ship before I decorate this already not so nice interior with my vomit. Pull the Nav computer out and we'll plug it into my TIE Defender. I got some gizmos and hacking tools onboard to hack this code so we can then use it on our ships and also locate the Imperial faction in question."

The air around Jade smelt gross. Her face expression showed it all. Using her lightsabre she cut around the ship's Nav computer and ripped it out. Wires were dangling everywhere as were sparks when she ripped it out. Holding it, she would then bolt out of the ship relieved to be able to breathe fresh air again. Well not quite fresh, but much better than what she had been breathing in the ship only moments earlier.

"Okay my young Jedi friend, time to get this baby on my ship so we can figure out where to go next."

[member="Tugoro Taidarious"]

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

"Most likely the Sith Empire," Tugoro spoke, taking a final look at the patterns within the codes before shutting it off completely.

Stepping away from the console, the young Jedi allowed [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] to do her thing, as her saber sliced precisely along the navigational computers edge. After it was extracted with some wires intact, Tugoro could only hope that this would work. He figured that Jade must have known how to hot wire such devices into her own craft, because he didn't.

"Great, let's get back to our docking bay," the young man spoke, eager to leave the interior of the Hutt transport. It was very revolting, though he couldn't help but laugh at Jade's reaction. Hopping off of the boarding ramp, Tugoro would begin to walk towards the hangar exit, looking up into the Corellian night sky. "Finally, we can get back up there." He spoke quietly, obviously eager to hop into his Aleph. They were now one step closer to solving this mystery, but Tugoro still couldn't imagine why someone would want Jade killed, or any of her family.

The journey through the Starport was a brief one, for Tugoro walked quickly through the corridors, coming to a calm pace as he saw their ships. They were still intact and safe, that was extremely relieving. "Alright, work your magic." the Jedi spoke, wondering where the coordinates would lead them.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

As the two Jedi made their way back to their ships, for a change they encountered no resistance. Jade wasted no time in wiring the Nav computer from the Hutt ship into her own TIE Defender. She had done this sort of hacking in the past so doing it now didn't present any problems for her. On another screen from a pad of her own that she had hooked up in between her own ship's computer and the Hutt ship's Nav computer, many numbers and symbols appeared on its screen. Jade looked at it attentively, studying it, and deciphering it eventually.

"I don't recognise this faction of Imperials. However it doesn't mean they are not the same as the ones I severed. It's easily possible that in a couple of decades that this sort of stuff could've changed. I have the location of where this ship came from. Doesn't look like an Imperial base though. In-fact it's Nar Shaddaa. Hutt controlled world. Ship belongs to a crime lord known as Sansa the Hutt."

Jade looked up at the young [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] with a half grin as she stood up and took up a stance that demonstrated her cockiness.

"Okay so now we go to Nar Shaddaa, find this slime bucket Sansa and see what he can tell us."

Jade cranked her neck as her hair waived gracefully behind her.

"He will tell us who and why these men were sent after me. Once they do that, we will hopefully find out who our Imperial or Sith buddies are."

 

[Tugoro Taidarious]

Tugoro was impressed. He had little to no knowledge on the hacking of technology, and usually depended on the force when it came to such things. The relatively passive expression he had upon his face would quickly turn to a frown as Nar Shaddaa was mentioned. It was a place the young man was very familiar with, he had had many unfortunate encounters upon the city-planet. Though it was governed by the Techno Union, Tugoro still felt as if it was his duty.

Ever since the Dark Man had shown him the Enclave there, it had become one of his favorite hideouts. The Jedi was not very concerned with any Imperial matters at the moment, for those had been swept under the rug by the impending danger they would surely face on Nar Shaddaa. Some of these people were very sick, even worse than Imperials in some scenarios.

To top it off, they were going after a Hutt. That wouldn't be easy. "You think it'll be that easy?" Tugoro questioned [member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"] in disbelief, blown away by her confidence. And he thought that he was cocky. "I've dealt with these types before, it won't be easy," the young man followed up, smirking slightly as he shook his head in Jade's direction. Not only were the Hutts a giant threat, but there was also the Techno Union and One Sith, two factions that undoubtedly frequented the planet.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"Well it may not be easy, but nothing is ever hard nor impossible. Well not for me anyway."

Jade leaned on the side of her ship as as she said that, clearly acting all cocky around the young Jedi Knight. She pulled out her data pad and punched in some commands.

"I just entered all the coordinates that I had downloaded from their computer to mine all to your ship. We should depart for Nar Shaddaa now. When we get there I'll need to slice into one of the gang's computers. They appear to be spread out in various locations, so we're gonna go to one of their smaller cells. That should give us minimal resistance, in which I can then slice into their systems and locate their boss. Once we find him, we can get some answers from him regarding the Imperials."

Jade had a huge grin on her face as she bent over to detach the Nav computer from the other ship. Her nice cute arse starred [member="Tugoro Taidarious"] in the face momentarily, a sight that would gain the attention of most men. She finally got out again and tossed the Nav computer out and onto the ground.

"Okie-dokie then, it's time to go. We'll discuss the first part of the plan after we land on Nar Shaddaa. Until then follow me there. Oh and I suggest we both try and behave ourselves in our ships. Don't want to attract the same attention we did last time we were flying like crazy at Nar Shaddaa."

Jade ended off saying with a giggle knowing all too well that last incident on Nar Shaddaa was primarily her own fault. Jade entered the cockpit of her ship and not long after had lifted off into the night sky and then the blackness of space.
