Bes'kar! (Sith Assassins)

Echoy'la
Primevil Space
[member="Iziz Vei"] [member="Saiah"] [member="Kitty"]

This would most likely be one of the easiest missions to date for the Assassins. Here, within ally space, they had a simple task. Mine Bes'kar. It wasn't hard for the Zabrak to find a mine, as he already had one he picked out when he assisted the group with attaining the planet. Of course, that was long ago with none other than his late wife, but this was not the time for the past.

With both arms in front of him holding a pickaxe resting on the ground, he would await the others who were to join them. Ferus hoped they wouldn't keep him waiting too long, especially for something so easy to do.
 

Kitty

The Attention Seeker
Kitty of course took a very long time to get there even with lots of advance notice. She hadn't been at the assassin world when he took off. Kitty was off doing her own things. So there was first the trouble of finding a transport with the right specifications to hold her. Then there was the period after the hyperspace trip where the pilot had to wait for Kitty to calm down. Then there was a very long wait for her to feel comfortable something she still didn't know initiated her change back to her normal form. Then finally they descended to the planets surface.

Having been forced to share a room with Bar'reth Kitty had gotten very use to him hanging around. Now that he wasn't here it kinda felt lonely. It was nice having another of her race to hang out with even if her master had screwed up his ability to shift. Which she supposed was a good thing but it meant he couldn't really relate with her in that aspect.

"I'm here." Kitty announced walking towards here master. "What're we doing?" Kitty asked starting to get a little worried at the sight of the pickax. The young female feline hated getting her fur dirty.

Saiah came early, Ferus had said 'at once'. And the Rattataki was not once to dally with such orders. He was less than happy, seeing the pickaxe at the Sith's feet. She had seen her fair share of mining and it was exhausting work. This better be for something very, very good. Then again, she had hurt the Bha'lir in her Force Speed training, suppose exhausting work was a good redemption.

As the others arrived, she surveyed them. In Malif Cove it was hard to single out individuals unless they were absolutely extraordinary, this could prove to be a chance to observe her peers. She snorted derisively as the cat-person spoke. "That is a mining tool, and this..." She looked at her datapad. She had looked up Echoy'la when the coordinates came in and had found that the system of planet and moons was used extensively for mining "... Is one, big, mine." She looked directly at Kitty, a smile curling on her black lips. "I hope you don't mind getting dusty." She ended her snide comment with a wink, and turned her head back to Darth Ferus.

Iziz awoke, and with his awakening came some level of discomfort, he had gotten used to the cybernetic apparatus which was attached the the end of his spinal column, at least to domestic levels... he hadn't quite begun the combat training with it, but, that was neither here nor there, after the defeat of the Terentatek, and after his arm had been healed properly, he had taken a trip down to a trusted surgeon who had performed the long standing operation. Though Iziz had failed in his meditation training, he thought he had done reasonably well, attempting to meditate through the pain of open surgery without the need for pain relief, though, when they began to tap into his nervous system, the pain became too much to bear and he fainted swiftly, only to be put on life support and treated as any other patient... Though now weeks later and with bacta treatment and a couple further check ups, the wounds around the tail had healed well, to the point that the suturing had been removed and there was no longer a risk of tear or infection. Iziz was finally healed and able to take the tail for another test drive. Early in the morning Iziz was to be found outside, running and jumping with the tail to get used to it, performing simple tasks to ensure that it didn't get in the way. It felt strange, like a phantom limb which was actually there, but, it was not quite real, he could not feel it, like any other limb, but, none the less, it was moving, like it was completely numb.

Iziz had discovered how he would keep it hidden, wrapping it several times around his waist was comfortable as it kept the weight of the tail close to his core, however, running with the added weight was not something that he was used to. It was a few kilos of weight which was dragging him down, and with the addition of his two new light-sabers, it was a nice little arsenal that he had accumulated combined with a single thermal detonator out of his wages from overtaking a large company. A few thousand credits, but it was worth every cent, one never knew when they needed a plasma bomb in order to get a job done, be they fighting against a Jedi or something else. Something new could be seen in Iziz's eye should one be familiar with him, and it wasn't malign or vicious, it was something happy, he felt like he was making progress amongs the sith, and, being a Jawa, it was something which he had not anticipated. He had been doing well, and the small rodentine animal was proud of himself, to the point of almost being a little giddy. However, it wasn't long until his datapad lit up with a message stating that he was requested for a mission, reading the details it seemed rather routine, finding one of the most valuable ores in the galaxy and attempting to bring it back for the Sith Assassins. Seemed simple enough, Iziz could use such a material for his lightsaber hilts, which would be more than handy to ensure that his saber staff did not suffer the fate of every other saber staff in history... being cut in two.

So, Iziz headed off to the space station, looking out for anyone who might be familiar, yet, finding no-one. The small, amber eyed diminutive rodent like Jawa looked around quizzically for any sign of the raiding party, though, the entrance to the mine was terribly far away, so, he decided to take a shuttle. Pairing off with a couple of troopers, miners, and various other mobs, he hitched a ride to his location, meditating much of the way as many of their eyes fell on him, wondering if he was exactly what they thought he was. After a couple of muttered Utinis and getting angrier and angrier at their doubt that he was a member of the sith, and had just as much power as anyone who stood at a full 6' in height, he eventually blended into the background until they reached their destination, not long before the others. Getting off, he hoped he would be able to hitch a ride back with whomever else was here as, when this ride returned, the Jawa doubted he would be as tolerant after a long day's work. It was here that he managed to sense out the raiding party. Walking over, he was offered a man sized mining tool, Iziz did little but looked at the man quizzically and cock his head to a side... the tool was larger than himself, and probably just as heavy... the miner, feeling a little off, let him be as Iziz rolled his eyes and continued toward the others... Raising a hand in greetings he jumped up onto a rock and sat down to be eye level with the rest of them, crossing his legs and awaiting a plan of action.

This was going to be a long day.

A light smile formed on the face of the Zabrak as the three showed. Good, all right on time. "We're here to get ourselves some Bes'kar, but to do so we're going to have to mine it ourselves. And I mean that literally. Today is a lesson for all of you." The pickaxe in his hand would be slammed against the ground, letting out a dull metal echo. He would stand there, even after the noise went silent, looking to each of them.

Finally, three more pickaxes were brought out from behind him. Some simple miners grumbled something about Sith as they brought them out and handed them to each of the acolytes. "Speed or strength, neither matters if you can't keep it up for long. Today, we're going to work on all of your endurance. You're all going into that mine and getting an amount of the ore twice your weight. Understood?"
 

Kitty

The Attention Seeker
Kitty glared at the Rattataki who seemed to have picked up the source of her discomfort and mock her on it. The tip of Kitty's tail twitched back and forth in agitation an expression only those fluent in feline body language would understand. A Jawa also seemed to show up. They were an odd group of sith that could not be denied.

Ferus would then confirm Kitty's fears. They were to go in the mine and well mine. The feline was not looking forward to this. It was going to take her a whole day to clean out all her fur after this was over. The others had no idea how lucky they were. What was this crap about endurance training though. It would take far longer for those without the gift of strength to mine out that much ore. Then again taking a look around the others didn't seem they were all that strong either. Reluctantly Kitty picked up the pickaxe that was given to her though just picking the darn thing up was difficult. She was just a little taller than 5 foot with not much muscle on her though she supposed the Jawa was even worse off. Kitty walked into the mine without a word spoken.
 
[member="Darth Ferus"] | [member="Kitty"] | [member="Iziz Vei"]

Handed a pickaxe, Saiah leaned it on her shoulder. Saiah cared nothing about the words of the miners, they were nothing. She had observed many miners back on Rattatak, and had partaken in brief jobs in the mines. Her kind was not above child labour, but she had transcended it, outgrown the barren world of Rattatak. She marched silently into the mines, rotating her shoulders to soften up her joints. She stared into the back of Kitty's head, a smile curling the corners of her lips. She sensed she might play some tricks on the feline's behalf, if the opportunity presented itself.

"Understood, Lord Ferus."

Swiftly, she glanced at the Jawa. Saiah was somewhat curious about the little figure, about his power and his purpose. Had he too commited some insult to Ferus? If so, then what? Or was there some other, underlying reason for their new mission. 'Endurace', Darth Ferus had mentioned endurance. So they were there for training, and for the ore, that precious ore. 'Twice their weight' that was the weight he said they would have to extract. Not much as ore goes, but supposedly this planet was full of valuable Beskar. The information network of the Sith Assassins had once again brought her valuable information, and as a mercenary scout she knew the value of information.
 
Iziz looked to the pick axe, not being the strongest of all Jawa, he picked it up in a rather cumbersome manner, not having the physical frame for the likes of heavy lifting or anything of the sort, he muttered another Utini under his breath as he did not look happy about this in the slightest... they could have done anything, they could have attacked a shipment of the Bes'kar, they could have just taken some from the mine and not really cares about the implications to the miners, anything, why did they have to get their hands dirty...? Though the guise seemed to be under the umbrella of physical training, though Iziz already had his forms for that, he was never going to be able to build a frame that would be able to take punishment from a humanoid opponent, even kitty here, should she land a significant or direct blow to Iziz would probably knock him out if he let her. But, ferus was his master now, so, there was an amount of sub-severance which needed to be employed... though, Iziz seemed to reserve the right to be audibly upset about it. Chattering away in Jawanese, not even the trade language, but the language which involved scent and pheromones as much as the words which were made... Taking the pick axe, and dragging it along the ground behind him specifically so that the metal head chattered as it went along the ground in an attempt to annoy the people going into the mine.

He wanted them ALL to know he was 'pissed' without a shadow of doubt.

Stopping his walk he turned around... Remembering the properties of Bas'kar.

"Wait, if this metal is as hard as it is rumored, how am I supposed to break it with this primitive tool, give me a sonic drill, or something, and maybe i can made some progress, But I'll be lucky if i can even chip a stone yet alone sever one from the wall... Did you even think this through?"

Iziz said with a slightly sarcastic tone, Ferus would know by now that Iziz was one to not paricularly know or care about the social implications of his tongue, he had more or less grown up his entire life knowing that no-one in the galaxy would be able to understand him, so, he still had absolutly no manners or ettiquite when it came to talking to his superiors. After the words were spoken there was a little bit of regret present in his mind, hoping that noting bad came from what he said. Part of him thought that Ferus would walk over and slap him upside the head, or punish him publicly... Iziz would likely deserve it, though, the Jawa did not have no defense against some actions.

It just may as well be no defense.
 
A light chuckle escaped the Zabraks lips as [member="Kitty"] and [member="Saiah"] went into the mine. Part of him wondered if they were going to figure it out. Then again, it wasn't like he was very clear. His blue eyes glanced down towards [member="Iziz Vei"] , who didn't seem all that excited at all. So with a wink, the red man would slip both of his hands behind his head and offer one last bit of information.

​"There is physical endurance, then there is mental and Force. I don't care which you work, just get the ore." Ferus would keep outside of the mine, letting the acolytes do all the work. As for why, well. If they figured out what he meant, they would certainly understand why he remained outside.
 
Saiah was just about to enter the Mine as Iziz spoke, she remembered reading the beginning of the Chronicles of Darth Bane, apparently Bane had mined Cortosis with relatively primitive tools for many years. She halted as Ferus gave advice. Physical endurance, mental and Force. She wondered if there was perhaps more to this mission than what met the eye.

She gazed into the dimness of the mine, and stepped inside. Her pale eyes shifted from side to side, peering into the darkest corners. She also probed the walls with her mind, extending it like tendril both to weed out dangers, and to seek that sweet spot. Her hands flexed and un-flexed around the handle of the pickaxe, it had a comforting weight to it and the spike would make a nasty wound. That is, if whatever resided in there could be wounded by such means.
 
Groaning loudly, Iziz's anger and frustration led him to not catch onto any of the hidden meanings within the words of his master, though, he did seem to imply that he was more than free to extract the metal by any means necessary, and, that would be an excellent time to put his new light-sabers to use, walking into the mine, Iziz spent little time looking for a vein of the material, finding a small wheelbarrow he would pearch the barrow next to where the metal was, pulling out his lightsaber, the next part of the plan was simple, plunging the tip into the small vein, the rock would give way, almost disintegrating, while the metal would melt, becoming a liquid quickly under the extreeme heat of the blade and begin to leak down into the wheelbarrow pearched against the side of the cavern wall. Iziz was surprised he did not think of this sooner, creating a single hole, the molten metal began to fill the barrow, weakening the metal and probably permanently ruining the tool, but, it would be easier to cart out than lifting tonnes of big rocks, most of it would be fused together so they would just have to throw the whole barrow into whatever furnace they needed to, the steel of the barrow would melt and separate at a different rate than the bes'kar and everything would be sweet.

Iziz smiled happy with himself having felt like he cheated the system, chuckling and laughing slightly, with his hoarse voice as something began to run up his spine...

Iziz has a sixth sense for danger and intruige, and something was up here, the hairs of the back of his neck were pinging as was his left thumb... was it danger? was it something else... what had Ferus done? where was this place? So many questions, and much of it needed answering. There were miners here, so it could not be some kind of massive monster, that would be too... too out of place, if it were here the miners would not be so dense, could it be something new that was hidden here? Iziz could not tell... His brand of precognition was more animalistic, it was simply the vast knowing that something was not right, like the feeling a dog got before an earthquake or a storm, putting iziz on edge and making him think that something was about to happen, and he was not going to like it...

not one bit.
 
Walking deeper into the mines, Saiah put one of her hands to the wall and ran her fingers across the stone surface as she walked deeper into the darkness. She closed her eyes so as to better feel her surroundings, her mind expanding through the force, bending it into tentacles of thought with which she investigated every crevice. It was not so much a technique as it was something instinctual, near primal. The guidance it gave her was leading her somewhere, like a hound on a blood trail. Her fingers followed its trace through the stone, she could feel the borders between the ore and sheer rock on her skin.Suddenly, Saiah stopped. She opened her eyes again and looked at the spot where her finger had landed. A smile spread over her lips as she shifted the pickaxe from her shoulder into her hands. She gripped the shaft firmly and then swung it at the rock. It hit hard enough for the spike to stick in the rock wall. Pickaxe marks the sweet spot.

She stood back for a second to think, and suddenly jerked her head to the exit. Ferus had not mentioned that they specifically would have to mine, in fact he had said he didn't care how they got the ore. She marched out of the cave to fetch some of the miners. She even promised each of them a little reward for their effort. Two of them came with her quite easily. and she watched as they laboured, her arms crossed over her chest, and her pale eyes peering into them. In her right hand, she was fingering a thin metal coin from her home planet. She had a habit of playing with the coin while waiting.

In good time, the Beskar ore was out and piled in wheelbarrows which were then moved out of the mine. Outside, the two miners looked at Saiah expectantly, one of them reached out a hand for their reward. Saiah paid them off with a meagre, but suitable sum and sent them on their way, her eyes warning them against any complaints. She then turned to Darth Ferus, raising the muscles in her face that would be in control of her eyebrows if she had any.

"Will this be enough?"

[member="Darth Ferus"]
 
Almost a shadow against the other, more known, acolytes around her, Alyssa stood and watched both Ferus and the other acolytes. She'd never been one for large groups, the Assassins here and the Covenant were really the only people she interacted with regularly, scars of the past imposing their weight on the actions and comforts of the present. Alyssa already had a plan for some of the Bes'kar she was going to be mining, and with a dozen variations of her whip rolling through her mind, she picked a pick axe out of the hands of a miner. The man made as if to protest, but the man stopped his tongue in his mouth as a glare from Alyssa met him. She might not be tall and physically imposing, but there was something about the look in her eyes that often stopped the weaker people from approaching or reproaching her. With a disdainful noise, she turned and paid attention to Darth Ferus again.



Darth Ferus said:
"Speed or strength, neither matters if you can't keep it up for long. Today, we're going to work on all of your endurance. You're all going into that mine and getting an amount of the ore twice your weight. Understood?"

Alyssa, Dark Thorn as she went by in this circle, bristled slightly at being given orders. She'd never been one for taking orders, especially from a man. This man, and many of the ones beneath him, had neither touched her nor imposed their will over her in an unwarranted manner, so she bit back any smarmy reply and hefted the pick axe onto her shoulder. She simply nodded to the Master Assassin, then moved off into the mine.

Within the mine, she followed her fellow acolytes. Alyssa had never seen beskar in either it's refined form nor it's natural state in the rock, but this was marked as a beskar mine, so she figured that the only things in here would be rock and beskar. Darth Ferus had said that there was either physical endurance, mental endurance and force endurance. Alyssa knew her short comings quite well. She was small, her body both born and designed to be a lithe dancer and acrobat rather than a bruiser. She had muscles and strength, likely more of each than most would assume of her, but swinging a pick axe constantly to mine out the hardest ore in the known galaxy took something more than her dancer's frame could do. Her mind, however, was more than up to the task.

Similar what Saiah did, Alyssa strode out of the mine and back to the miners. She shoved the pick axe back into the hands of the man she had taken it from originally, her hand brushing his. Contact wasn't truly needed to take over someones mind, but Alyssa knew dark secrets that had nothing to do with the force. The simple brush of fingers from one who was attractive often fouled up a man's mind, such that taking that mind into her power would be far simpler. Being that she was only yet an acolyte, she took every advantage she could. She shifted her hand and traced her finger tips up the mans arm, using her other to caress a young female miner's neck. She could feel the electric spark of attraction from both of them and quickly capitalized on it. The man was first, she slid her mind into his with a silent suggestion, images so tantalizing and vivid so as to make him salivate physically.

The woman got a softer mental touch. Her mind, Alyssa caressed as softly as she caressed her neck. The woman's lips parted in a pant and Alyssa knew that both were truly hers now, so she sent a mental suggestion to both, mirroring her words.

"How about the three of us go into the mine and you two can entertain me." Pure sensuality oozed from every syllable, every twitch of tongue and lip. It sank into the minds of the two miners and they rose to follow her. "Bring those..." She said as she indicated the pick axes and walked back to the mine. She knew they were following her, she had leashed their minds to hers and could sense them as easily as if she had a camera on them. Their compatriots all sat or stood where they had been, slack jawed at the turn of events and not comprehending a single wit of what was going on.

I'll do a second post in a bit of them mining for her, then a third post of bringing it out.
 
Iziz found himself making his way outside with the wheel-barrow filled with enough Bes'kar to be more than twice his mass worth, so, taking the barrow of expensive goods out of the mine he would lookto ferus, the interesting part of it all would be, as he used a lightsaber, rather than mining the ore out directly, and by waiting for the meling point of the steel, which, for bes'kar was naturally high, being a resistant metal, the metal would have already been somewhat purified once, though by no means perfectly, but some of the lesser irregularities in the metal would have already been removed by extreme heat, the steel would have already relitively low slag content and thus, would be worth more as an ingot. Although Iziz had to lance in several locations with his lightsaber to get the amount that he would need, it was rather easy in the scope of things, who knew mining could be this fun. It was walking out however in which Iziz could smell the subtle aroma of seduction, which only began to make the Jawa hungry, his stomach turned upside down as he began to ponder who the acolyte was who was doing the seducing, but, it seemed enslaving the miners was the other accepted means into performing the task. At least there wasn't terentatek in the mine, Iziz had already gone through one broken arm, and fighting one of those beasts in an enclosed space like a mineshaft would be about as effective as shooting at a charging bulldozer from the front with a blaster pistol... it was just not going to do much, and you will get trampled to death. So, looking up at Ferus as Iziz pushed the barrow out and cast it to the side, the steel of the barrow having well and truly warped beyond the point of repair, Iziz would have by far been the first to exit the mine, as even the raw state of the metal would be lucky to chip off hand sized chunks at a time with pick axes.

Sitting on top of a Rock, Iziz would look over the others, Keeping his new tail under his cloak and wrapped many times around his waist so to not get in the way of his actions. Reaching into one of his pockets, He would pull out what appeared to be something wrapped in paper, unfolding it, the hidden bounty was a raw, bloody piece of preserved meat, probably bantha, which he sank his teeth deeply into, savoring the taste and chattering happily as he did so, washing the feast down with the smallest and most modest amount of water one could hope to do without spilling a single drop. From his perch he cocked his head coyly to a side and watched Ferus, whom seemed to be enjoying himself at the moment, though, he had spoken about endurence training... Iziz pondered on whether or not he had somehow failed this test, and what it would mean if he had, though he accomplished the goal first, as he did not perform any labour, and probably ended with a higher quality material, he would consider it a win, but, did it defeat the point of the experiment?

He was not sure...

And he didn't like being unsure.​

So he watched... and waited​
 
Alyssa slid into the shadowy recess that hid the entrance to the mine behind her two mental slaves. They moved fairly naturally, not truly fighting her dominion of their minds quite yet. That was the point of choosing precisely how you entered their mind and to what purpose they thought was going to happen. They thought they were going to have some dirty fun in the mine. Her control suppressed the idea that such kind of fun would be dangerous and painful, so with nothing inhibiting them, they went along quite easily.

They reached a beautiful, partially exposed vein of beskar and she stopped them with a simple mental command. They were confused, there was nothing besides wall and spars here, the hadn't reached any of the waypoints where miners rested during their shifts. She tightened her control of their minds, fluid grace leading the way for iron strength. The two of them stiffened in surprise as Alyssa's mannerism changed back into the haughty woman that she was.

"I need beskar, more than twice my mass. The more the better." She pointed at the exposed vein of beskar, then indicated a nearby mining cart sitting unused and powered down. The two fought her mentally, but they weren't initiated into the mysteries of the force at all, so even her meager training was able to overcome their weak minds. Without too much strain, they went to work.

Thick, ropy muscles shifted as the two found their rhythm. Clank. Clank. Clank. Clank. The sounds of the work going sounded like the steady hammering of a smith, even and steady enough to keep the pace for hours if need be. She'd have brought more to make the work go faster, but she wasn't quite sure she could dominate more than a pair of minds at a time for the moment. She knew that with practice came strength.

An hour passed, the raw beskar piled in the mining cart and sweat poured off of the miners. Alyssa could see that they were tiring, though they did not slow. A red blush had crept up their exposed skin, muscles heating, lactic acid building up. Even the most proficient miners would fatigue at some point, and these two had been going strong and steady for an hour. Alyssa glanced at the cart. There was more than twice her mass present, it was probably cresting three times her mass, but Alyssa figured that the smelting process would reduce the amount as the beskar was purified and the slag was removed.

"You may stop." She told the two. They dropped their arms leadenly and turned to face her. She could sense the anger building in them, now that they had nothing to focus on. The man tried to fight her control harder, while the woman simply seethed and glared. It was times like these that one made choices based on their past. Her past had left plenty of scars, and though the physical ones healed for the most part, emotional ones were far more likely to linger. With a mental shove, she relinquished control of the man, he stumbled a bit as her control left him winded for a moment. Alyssa turned to the woman, turning all of her power to bear on her. "Sleep." She spoke and waved her hand at the woman, who promptly slumped to the ground unconscious. Had she not just spent the past hour working hard, the impulse might have been shrugged off, on account of the woman's anger, but this time it was easy to influence her to rest.

Mind free from controlling either miner, Alyssa turned to the man who was standing now. He grasped the mining pick weakly in leaden arms, but took a step forward anyway. A bored look crossed Alyssa's face as she strode forward, nimble and quick. She ducked under the slow swipe of the pick and moved behind the man. She flicked out a single of her hidden blades, wrapped her other hand around the mans neck and her legs around his waist. As strong as he was, he barely felt the weight of her on him, but he did feel the point of the hidden blade on his jugular.

"You are a citizen of an allied power, whether you yourself pay homage to the Host Lord or not. That is the single reason why you live. I would suggest you drop the pick axe and simply walk away." It was against her nature to let this man walk away, but they were on allied soil and Alyssa knew how to behave when times warranted it. She climbed down off of the mans back and stepped back. She did not sheathe the hidden blade, but watched the vile creature as he moved down the mine toward the entrance.

Alyssa knew that the man had taken his own life, practically, as he hadn't dropped the axe. She mentally tsked at him, letting the force guide her as she brought her speed and agility up. She likely didn't need the boost, but practice in all scenarios made one better. In seeming slow motion, the man pivoted on his right foot, swinging his whole body around and heaved the pick at Alyssa. For a fraction of a heart beat, Alyssa watched the axe tumble towards her. It had been a good throw, had she not been both ready and force amplified, she might have taken a point in the chest. As it was, she slipped down to the floor in a forward roll, coming out of it with an extended leg, she rolled up into a fighting stance. The axe hit the wall behind her as the mans eyes widened. He had never seen someone move this fast, force users on mining worlds were often taken away for training, not left to squander their lives. Alyssa took a single step towards him, lashed out with her left foot. She hooked it behind the knee of the man, kicking it out with a loud crack. The man fell to both knees screaming bloodily, tears swimming in his eyes.

"I gave you the chance..." Alyssa muttered darkly as she swiftly stepped up the mans chest, hooked a leg around the back of his neck, swung around and locked her other leg around the front. She tightened as she arced backward and twisted with her hips. A sharp cracking sound reverberated off of the walls as the mans life ended. The only blood on the ground was seeping from the mans mouth, all in all a fairly clean kill. Alyssa released and continued into a backward roll. Coming up on her haunches, she surveyed the scene. She briefly wondered if Darth Ferus would be mad, she wouldn't lie about what happened, as she assumed that such things would be considered part of the lesson.

Shrugging, she mentally woke the woman up and had her dump the mans body on the side of the path. It would be found, but that didn't truly matter. She had the woman take the controls of the cart and they both climbed on. They rode the hover cart out of the mine and over to whee Darth Ferus was standing. She gave a simple mental command to leave to the woman, then relinquished control. The woman ran crying off towards the nearby village and her home. Alyssa strode forward and motioned to the beskar behind her.

"You could say I went a little over board, but here is my beskar." She did not bow, but she canted her head respectfully. Her adrenaline was up, and that always caused her to be more aggressive in her authority bashing. The only thing staying her hand was the fact that Ferus could kill her far more easily than she had killed the man in the mine. Thus, she kept her eyes away from Ferus's, not out of defference or shame, but out of good habits and not dying.

[member="Darth Ferus"]
 
If there was one thing Ferus disliked, it was pointless killing. Without a response to [member="Iziz Vei"] , the Zabrak burst from where he stood. [member="Alyssa"] , while her methods were effective at gaining the ore, her ending of the task was not to be allowed. As her legs wrapped around the man's neck the form of the Sith Lord would become very visible. As would the feeling of ones entire body being squeezed.

A red hand would be held out for the girl, and a force grip closed to hold her still, to prevent the killing. A hollow voice sounded out as the red man's cold blue eyes glanced her over.

"You would be wise not to kill him. Release his form, or I will crush you all the same."
 
Alyssa noticed the powerful anger emanating from the Sith Lord before the pressure hit her. Her own anger rose, but nonetheless she did as [member="darth ferus"] demanded. At the moment he was her superior and could kill her fairly easily.

"I see." She gritted through clenched teeth. She let the man fall to the ground, gripping his neck in fear. Alyssa let go of the force and faced Ferus. "I see how things shall be..." She glared up at the Lord, completey at his mercy. He would be able to tell that she wasn't resisting him, her power with the force was no where near his equal, so the fight would be pointless. "He attacks me and I warn him off. He attacks me again and I am supposed to let him? Have I found my way into the hands of some Jedi?" Her question was devoid of impertinence, her voice cast low. She was truly curious and very angry at the cause for the interruption. The man and the woman were forgotten now, only Alyssa and Ferus existed in the mine. Alyssa took the time to manually resheath the hidden blade as she watched the Assassin Lord.
 
"We are guests on this world, Black Thorn. And you will be wise to remember that unless this planet belongs to the One Sith or the Republic, we are not to kill anyone unless told otherwise. No matter their reason." Ferus spoke calmly to [member="Alyssa"] , despite her apparent anger towards him. His gaze traveled to the man, and the female. With a frown he would nod them off, and they would leave without hesitation. What ever was going on, they didn't want to be apart of it.

"You're an assassin. You should be trying to have a low profile no?"
 
The anger burning in her breast threatened to overwhelm her, but the Master Assassin spoke truthfully and logically. Alyssa suppressed the anger, pushing it down inside of her for use later. She paused a moment to collect herself, then nodded solemnly.

"I did not bring them down here to kill them. I probably should have been able to handle the man without killing him, for not reacting to his attacks in a more logical way, I am sorry." She spoke in a low tone, the anger still simmered, but Alyssa was strong of the mind and was always careful to not let her emotions control her. She controlled her emotions. She walked over to the hover cart and activated the lift. Knowing that she wasn't going to get away with riding back in relative comfort, she put the gearing into neutral and walked to the front. She grabbed the front corner and began to pull. "Despite what you may think, Lord Ferus, I respect you. I do not wish to disappoint you." Again through gritted teeth. It was hard, after all of her history, to apologize for such actions. She knew she needed to though, at the very least to assure him that the lesson had gotten through to her.

[member="Darth Ferus"]
 
"Do not waste your time trying to respect me or something like that. I don't expect such actions from anyone. Speak your mind freely with myself in the future. More often then not I am incorrect on my own assumptions." Blue eyes went away from [member="Alyssa"] as a sigh escaped the Zabraks lip. Acting like a leader was annoying for him, but sometimes it had to be done. Without warning, he would burst away from the female to exit the mine before she herself could.

He had to chat with [member="Iziz Vei"] as well.
