Ahto City
War. At long last, after a long, disgusting period of peace, it was beginning to spread like wildfire across the Galaxy. It had been such a test of patience that the organics had been complacent. To be sure, by the way a droid measured time it was a short period, but that did not make it less annoying.
The thoughts of the so deceptively organic looking machine as she made her way through an alleyway on this change of events were clear:
Finally! She was a firm believer in the democratisation of terror. The hammer blow had fallen upon the fish planet, the ocean and the streets of Ahto City would turn red with the blood of the wicked and the innocent alike. Even as a human Moira had never been terribly fond of the fish people. For one it took them ages to finish a single sentence.
The Butcher of Contruum had come to visit Manaan, having been dispatched here in advance of the Sith invasion. While the bright sun of Manaan beamed down upon the planet, so deceptively heralding the start of a new, joyful day Moira came to a halt in front of a door, seemingly the entrance to one of many small apartments in a less populous district, and quickly keyed in a lengthy pass code. For just a moment her eyes flared up behind the electronic photoreceptors as the retinal scanner performed its function before the heavy durasteel door slid open, quickly closing behind her as she gracefully moved inside, a quick scan having confirmed that she was not being followed. Stepping into the the dark room she did not bother flick on the light, nightvision made that unnecessary.
A quick scan of the area led her to a hatch on the floor in a corner of the room, lifting it open she hopped down into a darkened bunker. Glancing around the shelves various weapons, all neatly and tidily arranged in a manner that might hint at obsessive-compulsive disorder, revealed themselves to her. A smuggler contact who had proved useful at Contruum had arranged it for her. His reward had been to be processed. Naturally Moira did not care for his consent, it was for his own good. She examined the weapons racks, lethal instruments of death dealers arrayed before her, such as the infamous Mark One Boltgun. Having once been employed by the Protectorate had its perks. Back on Yaga Minor she had fought against Sith on the side of Mandalorians and...Zombies, for want of a more scientific term.
Now she was here on their side. Like any other empire the Sith wanted to subjugate all life and exact their will upon the Galaxy. This was a rational goal. So was their proclivity for planet-killing superweapons. The inferno of Donanyd had been an impressive holocaust. The Age of Steel would erase the organic pestilence from the Galaxy, but much work needed to be done until then and the Empire paid well. It was always good when organics helped you get the funds to construct the tools of their demise. She took the boltgun along with spare magazines to be hidden in her duffel bag, a Verpine Shatter Gun, silenced and terribly lethal was hidden inside her coat along with a heavy sonic pistol, grenades of various types followed, lastly a flamer, blades for close quarter and a handful of explosive devices. And, of course, there was the HRD herself, designed for murder.
The roar of Imperial dropships could be heard from afar, she was tuned into the frequency of the Imperial channels and, using the in-built wireless communication, sent a burst transmission to her partner in crime. The infamous droid designated as @[member="MSE-007"]. A fitting accomplice in the venture of exterminating pitiful organic creatures. "At the safehouse. What is your status and ETA? The organics shall be crushed like vermin."
