Darkness is Expansion [New Order Dominion of Dubrillion]

"Ah, my mistake. The Confederacy will pay, however." She look around, before asking questionably. "This way?" As she went to move to the right, towards a hallway.

 

[Onrai]

Circe nodded. "These factories are all designed with the same basic blueprint. We go down this hallway, make a right at the end, and the reactor room is beyond a magnetically sealed door. The door can be unlocked using a keycard or an access code. The reactor should be on the other side of the hallway."

Ayra followed Pandeima's instructions, hand in hand, before coming to a stop at the sealed door. She turned her gaze to her Sith Master. "Do you have the key card?"

 

[Onrai]

[member="Darth Ayra"]

"I have the Master card, my apprentice." She smiled, producing a small piece of flimsiplast with encoding on it. Swiping it, the door was no longer magnetically sealed, but the mechanism refused to open. "Alicia, be a dear and crack this nut for me, would you?"

Ayra nodded to Pandeima and motioned for space. As she moved backwards, so did Ayra, to give herself room between herself and the door. Her hands swung forward and the Force gripped the door. She lifted her hands up, slowly, her body straining under the energy of the Force and the weight of the door. She did this until the door was completely held up, and a click in it's hydraulics indicated that it would hold the door in the ceiling, without Ayra or the Force holding it up.

She dropped her hands, which had tired under the strain. Ayra took Pandeima's hand again, and motioned with the other for them to walk inside, too tired to talk.

 

[Onrai]

The two walked inside, and it was as that moment that Circe turned to her apprentice and gave her a long kiss. In this instance, it was hardly romantic - Circe was drawing from her Force energy and giving to Ayra, in order to help her recuperate from her straining against the door. "There you go... A little shot of energy. Be glad I didn't give it to you somewhere else - you'd have exploded." She winked, turning to survey the damage. "The reactor's a bit roughed up, but still intact."

She might not have intended it to be romantic, but Ayra closed her eyes anyway and enjoyed the moment. It hadn't been a huge loss of energy to her- she only need a few minutes to catch her breath and she would have been right as rain- but alas, Pandeima cared too much to allow such a thing to go on without dealing with it.

After Pandeima parted her lips from Ayra, she took a long time to look at her Sith Master, without a word.

 

[Onrai]

Stepping over to the nearby console, she pressed a few buttons and was greeted by the sweet sound of the hypermatter annihilation reactor returning to life. The factory's lights returned and the production lines reinitialized, along with the few droids that had survived. "A lot's still functional, if damaged..." She smiled. "I'm glad you and I came here. With the facility complete, we can begin manufacturing for the New Order."

She observed the lights coming to life, when the reactor was brought online. As her eyes trailed along the head lights and followed an astromech droid. As she did, she asked Pandeima. "Do you think the CIS, Republic, Fringe and so on know Subach is still around, working for the Sith? Or is it possible for us to expand it into other factions through a new face. Someone they haven't worked or met yet."

Ayra turned to face her partner in crime. "Someone like me."

 

[Onrai]

"Are you suggesting that we form a new branch of Subach, mingling funds, technology, and products, that has no apparent connection to me or the company itself, as to allow for expansion?" She raised an eyebrow. "Or are you suggesting that Chandrilla Datatech be a subsidiary of Subach we use to help rebuild the company?" She paused, thinking over the logic of that. "I suppose it's only fair, after all."

"Because that is what they do--expand. You are as close to Mandalorian space as you could possibly be. You are in a position of authority here. Now order these men to surrender, as this planet's government has mandated."

"I am saying we need to be smart and careful if we are to use corporations such as Subach and DataTech to not only fuel our scheme, but to also use them for the imperative." She turned away from Pandeima, thinking. "Subach can be used to exploit the Sith... and DataTech to exploit the core?"

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

Cipher 18 found the two Sith Lords in the reactor, having apparently already got it online. With his troopers in tow, he moved past the desecrated door. Typical. If they had waited a moment, I could have opened that and still left a door behind when I was finished... he thought to himself.

The Agent approached the two women, holding out a portable data drive. "My Lords," He said, "The network's not operational, but all data files from the servers have been recovered. I believe this belongs to you."

[Onrai]

[member="Darth Ayra"]

"Perhaps." She paused, turning to look at the Imperial Agent who had just breached the facility. "Thank you... Perhaps we can find out if anything happened while the factory is offline. Backup power to the factory's sensors should mean that all the data that happened until a few minutes ago was recorded." Turning to her apprentice, she thought over the situation. "Shall we continue?"

"Cipher 18, I presume?" Ayra turned to the approaching agent, holding her hand out for the report. When it was given, she gave him a curt nod and began to read.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

"Yes. I am Cipher 18," Vaas responded in an automated tone that gave away little to no inflection. "At my Lord's service."

The Cipher Agent turned towards Enigma then. "I may be able to retrieve surveillance footage, if my Lord wishes it."

[member="Darth Ayra"] [member="Enigma"]

 

[Onrai]

"That would be preferable." She paused, thinking about the entire situation. "Acquiring any information of what happened while the facility was in shutdown will be most useful." She smiled. "Consider yourself having an official commendation, Cipher 18."

Ayra finished reading her report and passed the device over for Pandeima to read as well. Then she turned towards the reactor and began following the lights again with her eyes, like a lost child.

Circe noticed her apprentice's strange gaze over the humming and glowing reactor. "What is it, Ayra? Do you see something unorthodox and out of the question? Did someone else come here before us?"

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

Cipher 18 bowed respectfully.

"I wish only to do my duty," He said obediently. Then, he turned and left through the ruined door, rejoining his troops.

"Our next objective is to obtain this station's surveillance footage," He told them. "We must locate the main security room where the cameras all feed to. Doubtless the CCTV footage will be stored in there."
