Borrowing Phrik

[Ashin Varanin]

The Niathal changed course as Ember's Keetael-born Force-tracking senses caught the edge of what he presumed was an Imperial Knight, a bit away from everything on the ground. Sensors detected a small facility, well-defended.

A large blast door leading deep underground, a small defense perimeter of metal walls surrounding the door and several buildings, many patrols, four large landspeeders for transport of material and personnel, a road leading towards the gate in the wall. Two turret towers at each building.

The Niathal set down a good distance from the facility, amid rolling hills that served well to hide the Mon Cal-designed shuttle from sensors or the naked eye. For safety's sake, he left his jetpack behind; he could cover ground quickly, physical enhancement being his forte, and most competent Forcers could make you regret wearing a fuel tank on your back. That left him in standard aliit'gam, his son's lightsabre at his belt, a Vornskr scattergun strapped to each thigh and angled slightly forward.

As he drew closer to the facility, he stopped running and wrapped himself in the White Current. Thirty years of practice lent a little subtlety to his work; he was now invisible, undetectable by sensors or the Force. That didn't let him spend a great deal of attention on homing in. He'd have to do this the hard way -- with actual observation and thought. The place was, so far as his sensors could determine, a mine or excavation, and a mine with this much security meant something valuable. If this was an Imperial Knight, something he had no way of determining at the moment, they might be at the central office or within the excavation, depending upon what this place was for.

Then again, if this was just a mine, what would an Imperial Knight be doing here? Missing puzzle pieces unsettled him.

Still cloaked in full Fallanassi Immersion, he slipped through the front gate, helmet scanners sweeping the facility.

Sabrina felt her masters presence dim, as not as if he was killed, but as he will it to happen. She then felt to other presence, and one them vanished, in same way her masters did. The other did not, she was unsure who, or what it was. Though she guessed, it will not be good for her, as unlike the other two, she could not turn down, her connection with the fore.
Zeppy her supervisor, noticed she was slacking again, as she was thinking of her escape routes. Oi missy, at this rate, you paying us! He then paused, and looked her over again. Then added and I think I know, how I am going to collect! His tone made sabrina skin crawl, she new, she was going kill him, if she could on her escape.

Orange eyes calmly watched the man saying something to [member="Sabrina Kotass"]. He did not catch whether it was a threat or not, as he was on his way back to leave the building the way he came. It presented little to no problem for the amphibious Knight, guards were easy to avoid and soon he found himself back in the ventilation shaft, decloaked and meditating to recuperate from the loss of energy he had to use to hide the grid that covered the entrance to the shaft and create its projection in the place it used to be before removing the real thing. All while bending sound to avoid drawing attention of a guard in the very same room. Not the most enjoyable experience, but Avreet took it as a great exercise of his abilities, something Sabrina will have to do as well if she wanted to become a powerful Sith.

Telekinetically removing the grid blocking his way out, the Mon Calamari slowly and carefully looked out to see anyone who might be able to notice him. With no one standing on the roof, the Sith cloaked himself once more and swiftly moved out of the shaft, placing the grid back and jumping off the building. The Force massed in his legs and slowed his fall. Standing firmly on the ground, he swiveled his large eyes around to see if nobody looked his way and upon seeing no witnesses, be it sentient beings or cameras, the Sith let the cloak of darkness hiding his form fall, appearing in a guard uniform again. Now he would figure out how to open the blast door and let Sabrina leave with the phrik.

Personnel appeared and vanished on his sensors relatively frequently as they entered and exited buildings. But something felt...off all of a sudden. Not in the Force, but as if he'd missed something. It took about a minute -- certainly long enough for Veles to reach the large blast door he sought -- for Ember to place the sensation, replay his own short-term memory with a minor trick of the Force, replay his sensor data, and notice the flaw.

The motion-sensor dot that had exited the main building without benefit of a door.

A slow grin spread over his face in respect. He was long since toughened against mental illusion, and this deeply immersed in the White Current, Fallanassi arts wouldn't work on him. Which meant that nondescript guard who had headed off toward the blast door was either using a very expensive holocloak, or some good solid photokinesis, at a high level. Or the human body in the guard uniform could be the reality, and a personal cloaking device had been used. Limited options, but all of them meant he was dealing with an experienced stealth specialist.

'Imperial Knight' started looking less and less likely.

Neophytes compared tracking one's Force presence to radar, but anyone who'd actually tried it knew it wasn't remotely so precise. He had a general idea of the ersatz Imperial Knight's direction, and it more or less fit that nondescript guard who'd headed off toward the blast door. By this point, the disguised Veles was out of Ember's line of sight between outbuildings and large speeder transports, and there were several individuals over there in the sensor shadow. He couldn't quite determine which was which. Still immersed in the White Current, hidden from sight, hearing, sensors and Force, he walked that way with a practiced gait that didn't throw up dust. He also avoided places that would leave footprints.

Time to wait and see what happened, apparently.

Sabrina carried on loading, the phrik ore, to be transported to ship. She was getting nervous, and part of wanted to run for it.

The amphibious Sith blankly stared at the blast door, stroking his barbel as he thought of their escape with the prized metal. They could break through the door by force any time, but that should be their last option due to obvious reason. The blast door had to open sooner or later to let the phrik out and allow the workers load it into a transport. The main question was whether they transported it by speeders or ships... Avreet had not noticed any sort of landing pad and the presence of several speeders very strongly indicated the way of transporting the phrik. With a plan forming in his mind, he established a telepathic communication with the Acolyte again. "Upon leaving the mine and loading it into the speeder, be prepared. I will pose as a driver, you'll jump in and then we get to my ship as quickly as possible." With the message sent to [member="Sabrina Kotass"], the Mon Calamari turned on his heels and went to take a closer look at those four speeders.

Still cloaked in White Current immersion, Ember split his attention between his gut and his helmet sensors, tracking people in the area. Thus far, he couldn't pick out the infiltrator. He remained between the blast door and the wall's gate, leaning up against an outbuilding, eyes on the blast door.

Sabrina heard her master, through the force, and giving her orders. She listened, and then replied the same way, I shall be ready, to go when you tell me too. Then supervisor zeppy, saw her not working again, Oi wench that is it, you know me money, you where warned. He sat back, looking smug in his chair, he seemed to like praying on the weak. Unfortunately for him, sabrina was not some weak woman he could push around.

[Darth Veles]

"The sooner the better, Acolyte," Avreet sent to [member="Sabrina Kotass"] as he swiftly paced towards the landspeeders, his webbed hands clasped behind his back. All vehicles seemed fully capable of transporting men and ore alike, meaning Avreet just had to wait for the Acolyte to emerge from the mine. Leaning against one of the speeders that silently and peacefully rested on the ground for now, the Mon Cal goggled his large amber eyes around, waiting for his fellow Sith to appear.

 

[Darth Banshee]

Sabrina relied through the force yes master, then she began to walk away from her post. Zeppy the supervisor spotted her, Oi shutta, where do you think, your going. Sabrina snorted out, Home. She then jumped on the conveyor belt, and went down towards, the being loading ships. Zeppy tried to get hold of her, she used the force to shove him out the way, into pile of ore. She could killed him, but would of served no purpose, so she let him live. As she moved of with ore, towards the loading docks.

Ripples in the Force signalled the Acolyte was on her way, hopefully with phrik in her possession. The large eyes of the Mon Calamari darted from left to right to see if anyone looked in his direction, and upon noticing there was no such person, Avreet casually got into one of the landspeeders and started the engines. Slowly driving it forwards, he stopped in front of the blast door, ready for the Acolyte to come and load up the precious ore. Of course, such action did not go unnoticed; one man rushed to the speeder, shouting at the driver. "What are you doing? Next batch is scheduled to arrive in an hour!" The Mon Calamari Sith Knight did not even look at the guard. A simple gesture and the weak minded man saw Avreet's point. "I am right on time," the Sith stated, his words imprinting into the man's mind and becoming an undeniable truth.. "You are right on time." The guard nodded and ran back at the blast door, waving at someone Avreet could not see from his position to open it.

Sabrina got to the end of the conveyor belt, then she was where speeder full ore where. Two security guards rushed her, they been pre-warned by zeppy she was coming down. They attacked her using blaster pistols, one aimed low the other aimed high. She avoid the low shot by jumping, and she wiped out lightsaber and deflected it. Upon seeing the violet bladed light saber, the two guards ran for it, asking for back up on their radio. Sabrina ran to one of the speeders containing a shipment of phirik ore, she set off, and alerted [member="Darth Veles"] through the force Master I am on route to you know, be ready we will have company............

Upon seeing several guards rush into the mine, Avreet knew most of his more or less discreet plan of stealing the phrik has gone to the Void. The only thing he could do now was hard, painful improvisation. With most of the base alerted to Sabrina's presence, his disguise would not do much good there unless he created an impersonation of whoever ran the place. There was no time for that, leaving him with the task of getting Sabrina out once she arrived. As the guards started running around, either going to arm themselves or take positions to face any danger coming through the blast door, Avreet braced himself as the speeder rapidly accelerated, pushing him into the seat and going straight to the gate leading out of the compound. The impact could be barely felt in the heavy speeder as it crashed into the metal gate and went through, shattering the front window of the speeder and showering Avreet's face with sharp shards. Covering his left eye with his cybernetic hand, he felt as several pieces hit his cybernetic eye, bouncing off. Sound of blaster fire crossed the air, red bolts flying in the Mon Cal's direction. Accelerating further and going off the road, the amphibious Sith headed towards his ship. Without bothering to dodge the shots coming from several turrets, the Mon Calamari focused on the Force to bend the light that surrounded him again, making his form disappear. One jump and he was out of the vehicle while the guns continued to fire at the still moving landspeeder.

Landing into the sand, he immediately propelled himself and sprinted towards the location of his ship. Not even the landspeeder's explosion shook him, only his right eye barely glanced in its location to see a big ball of fire. With the turrets focused on the outside of the base, [member="Sabrina Kotass"] would not get ripped into shreads by heavy blaster fire once she stepped out. Avreet figured most combatants would focus their fire on Your Deathbed once it arrived, the ship acting as a shield for the young Acolyte. Shortly after the fire died out, the Mon Calamari finally arrived to his ship, guarded by two men. Knocking them out without trouble, the amphibious Sith boarded his new spacecraft and raced to the cockpit to start up the engines and take off. Redirecting most of the energy to the shields, he felt fairly invincible as the big ship began rising into the sky, then the engines roared louder and it flew towards the mine. As expected, the turrets focused their fire on the big, approaching ship; even most guards turned their weapons and shot at it, even though everything bounced off the shields.

Stabilizing its position right above the mine, the Mon Calamari rapidly decreased the altitude, scaring off all guards under its position and making them run away to avoid being crushed. The landing was rough, harder than expected, the systems reporting some minor damage to the bottom. The amphibious Sith let go of the controls and rushed to the cargo bay, opening it and extending the ramp for Sabrina to ride in with phrik. All who were not her got promptly Force pushed off, landing hard on the floor and laying motionless, though all of them alive.

 

[Darth Banshee]

Sabrina seeing her master, force push her possible assailants to the floor, she uses the speeder to get on the ship quickly. All they need to do know was, to get out of here and divide their spoils, though [member="Darth Veles"] would the lions share, she would get some. Though that much security was on their tail, and know incapacitated thanks darth veles, anyone else if reacted fast enough could steel a load too.
She then moved towards the cockpit, where she gave a slight bow worthy of the knight said, ​We where successful then.
