I Am A Wearer Of Many Masks

[C-02]

A lone worker was working away at a security console. Another two guards stood by just at the door, in the small building. These guards were under work of a local small time crime boss. But from here, there had been some research. Research into a certain...Family. The local crime boss had ordered the research after investigating them, having seen mentions of them in places they went. They held great interest in whatever this Family was.

The console worker was getting close, or at least believe themselves to be getting close. Their leader would reward them for this work. Most valuable rewards.

Someone was researching information on the family. That was their first mistake. Their second was that they hadn't managed to find an establishment to speak to and instead were planning something. Their third mistake was that Vork, the family's Capo enforcer had found out and was feeling like a hunt. He had his people backtrack the source and then shut it off misfeeding it information. Nar Shaddar. Shaun's Turf maybe, but Shaun needed more time to setup. And Vork wanted a hunt.

Arriving on Nar Shaddar he made sure his presence remained unknown to the rest of The Family here until he had captured or killed everyone searching for them. As he began using the tracking data, it took him to a crime lords complex. He then began infiltrating the building.

The worker was getting close to something, he could feel it. The guards just casually talked, and the rest of the complex must have had at least twenty to thirty workers and guards, the crime boss in his quarters towards the top floor. The research team resided in an underground floor. It wasn't that big of a group, but still proved a danger to the Family with their research. Bad security, low grade weaponry, it would appear as if it was more of a gang warehouse than anything. Easily could put off those that didn't know what they were looking for till they actually found it.

Vork dropped out of the vent as soon as he hit the boss's office landing on the man killing him instantly. Now that he was dead time to in fact find where the source of this leak was. As he began to stealth his ways along the halls trying to find a way into the basement without others realising he was here or that he had just killed their boss's. That would be of no help to him if they did as such he made a very quick way trying to find this place.

The worker continued working on the system. No alarms would go off as the boss was felled. None would see the sneaking being through the complex as they came to the basement, where the worker was stationed. "We should be almost there. Then it's pay day for the lot of us!" The guards cheered. "And then, I can guy myself that speeder I've always looked at." The other guard nodded along. "And I can buy my girl the ship of our dreams." They all had things to look forward. It was too bad for them. They were so close, yet so far.

It was almost eerily quiet as Vork made his way along the halls. He found his way to the basement as he saw three guards and the worker. He then smashed one workers face into a wall. The man died instantly from the impact as Vork smiled from under his mask. "Might wanna hold off on that one boys. I am here to plug a leak and you idiots are in my way."

He would pull his light sabre to his grip and force crush the heart of the man on the terminal. As the man fell Vork smiled. "Two down, Two left now who wants it?" As one of the men ran forward as Vork activated his lightsabre straight through the man's heart. "Shame that. Now down to you." The last one didn't smell of flesh and blood although he looked of it. "Question now is what are you. Human you are not trickster."

[C-02]

The man at the terminal turned in his seat as someone came in. And he let out a cry, a short cry as his heart was crushed, and just like that he was gone. The guard on the right went to run, and yet was felled quickly. That left one guard standing, arms raised. "N-No idea what you mean there, sir!" The guard gulped, taking a couple steps back. "The boss, you looking for the boss? He's in his office! I can take you there, yeah."

[Corran Conner]

Vork took his helmet of laughing. "Who do you think I killed before coming down here trickster. I can feel you are not human. I can smell it do not lie to me." As he lashed out with a claw and then his lightsabre hoping to prove that he was right. Otherwise the man would fall under his assault and was just purely strange.

The final guard stepped back again. Before they could make a response, they bent back in an inhuman way, flipping away. Now, once he was standing he glared over. "Smell, always the smell..." The cover flickered. Shimmering over, a metal form underneath. Before it was all gone, he leaped up. Right through a vent. "Come, cat! Chase the mouse!" Crawling up the vent, clanging. And the voice it had spoken in, was that of the lizard-being. The droid would try to climb, somewhere in the building...but he had no plans on leaving. No, this was the perfect chance.

Vorkaliin smiled as it showed it's true form but frowned when it used his voice. This would make things quite interesting. As he jumped into the vent himself and began to follow his prey. Time to hunt down this one. This was were the fun beings.

[C-02]

C-02 traveled a floor up before kicking down the vent. And as soon as he touched down, took on the form of one of the guards. He passed by a few, signalling that someone was following. This was what made stuff like this so fun. Manipulating others, turning them on each other. Once he had passed them he was then taking on their appearance of their leader, as to pass by without anyone giving him any second thought. This hunter would no doubt be tracking him, but he had figured it was by scent. And the droid held no scent. Yes, this would be most delightful.

[Corran Conner]

As he followed the droid he began using the force to heighten his smell which would allow him to smell the droid. However when he climbed out of the vents he was confronted by 2 or 3 guards. He smiled his helmet still off. "Boys shame you aren't wearing proper armour but even then it wouldn't stop this." As Vork used the force to shift their 4th vertebra ever so slightly, killing them all instantly with brain death.

Vork continued moving placing the helmet back on allowing him to stealth once more. As he passed several guards and workers hunting the oily smell of his prey the droid who wouldn't smell like a human. This was fun it was almost a shame he had to kill the droid. Almost.

The droid could hear shouts from behind, yet no screams. Guards were shouting about something though no slashes or screaming of death. So then, what was this foe of his doing? C-02 would have to take it carefully. And yet, the droid did not wish to leave. The disguised droid instead wished to play with the organic that hunted him. Instead he headed up the building, drawing the game onward. Leaving doors open, going down one hall to end up backtracking. The droid then stopped at the top floor, just outside the leader's room. Waiting for the other to catch up, see how long it took.

Vork made his way slowly through various minions of this droid. He kept following though. The droid hadn't made it easy on him and it wasn't long before he reached the area he had started his quest in. The boss's office. Wouldn't be long now and he would have this droid. Perhaps he should recruit the droid. If it would accept the offer, it had lead him on a goose hunt and now was smart enough to know where it would be able to escape easily. He thought about it more as he came to the top floor finally.

The disguised droid had gone into the boss quarters, sitting in the chair. The boss had been killed, and the body had been moved aside. None of the underlings knew as the droid had locked the boss in the room, while using their appearance to fool the underlings. Such foolish organics. They fell so easily for the droids tricks, and they still had no idea. Not that it would have mattered, they were without work now. Or someone would take over. Sitting at the table the droid mused over this, legs kicked up while holding the boss' appearance.

And there he waited till the hunter would come in. "Come in to give me an offer I could not refuse? Or," His appearance shimmered. He was now the woman, and he had her voice. But the face was shadowed, he had never seen their face. All he had was their figure. "Is that her job? Are you just the messenger boy?"

Vork walked in as the sounds of several chunks of meat fell behind him. It was rather easy to tell what he had done to those outside the door given the sickening sound. He looked at the droid. The thing that was still trying to trick him. "You assume I have anything to offer those I call prey." and then the droid turned into The Donna [member="Ahtemis"] and dared to use her voice against him. His smile went sour as he began feeling insulted and angry. Very very angry as that anger feed into his powers and his animalistic nature of his people. There was a reason not much was known about them and it wasn't because they were a hidden race.

It was because their rages often left nothing behind to discover. "You dare use her voice against me, you dare try to assume her shape. You dare to much stupid droid man." As the venom of his words rolled off his tongue he force jumped towards the droids chest swiping his clawed feet and should that not work he would attempt to knock it over with a force push aimed a tripping or even tearing one of the legs off completely before crushing one of its arms and attempting to dent it's chest plate with a force assisted punch.

Vork would either damage the droid for it's insolence or die trying to and the second one wasn't going to happen not while he was this angry not while he was this pissed off. Not while he was so mad he was animalistic. The droid would learn many things in this moment one of those would be don't piss off the giant lizard man with the force.

C-02 smiled, shimmering into the boss. Grinning as it appeared. Good, he got the lizard angry. How long had it been since having such excitement from facing a force user? The exact thing that his kind was made to train, in attempt to best. The droid manages to lean out of the way of the claws, but the use of the force caught the droid. This was what it was trained for. Having force jumped so close, he went for a kick up as he tripped by the push. The chest plate dented and the arm crumpled which he was forced to tear off as he fell, throwing it up. Such droids had quick reflexes and once he hit the ground, C-02 was scrambling across the floor.

"Come! Come, show me what your sabers can do! Show me the dance of the Knights!" It had been much too long since he tangoed with a saber wielding knight. He was all ready for it "Show me!"

Vork looked the droid up and down as he dropped further into a force rage. His lightsabre activated as he began slashing with as well as using his claws. His lightsabre went for the left leg of the droid in a downward strike similar to style two however just as it was about to strike Vork switched to form 5 and instead used the momentum to slash at the droids other arm as he jumped over him.

The droid might already be damaged but Vork wasn't going to let up. Vork attempted to slam his foot into the droids back adding extra force to try piecing the droids casing. He was mainly attempting to destroy the droid. Force rage pushing him all the way through his movements.

[C-02]

C-02 would have been grinning if it had a disguise upon it, a face to grin with. Instead it made no expression, no sound of glee as the force wielder switched to saber. Now this, this the droid was designed for. Moving fast to match speed, having analysed how they moved, calculated weight and strength through means of simply watching how they jumped and clawed. The first strike glanced the armor of the leg as the droid twisted away. What caught the droid off guard was the arm slash, cutting into the metal. Such a model was designed to withstand lightsaber strikes but wear over time caused it to weaken. Now with only legs, the droid could only tuck and roll as it was kicked.

It leaped out of it's roll, to a wall and kicking off to land onto the desk. "A disarming, most wise. If I had appropriate counter, this would be so much more fun!" The droid was plenty damaged by now. But he wanted to see what this force user was made of before furthering into plans, if he could survive this encounter.

Vork didn't even bother listening to the droid as in a vile fit of rage so pure he aimed his powers at the droids legs and specifically ripping them off collectively at the same time. He would use any and every attempt to remove them if that didn't work. However he was sure it would as he would stand over the droid his rage ending. As he looked down at the droid he would say some final words. "Prove your worth." Before picking it up and taking it with him.

He would take the droid off world back to noverskaa where he would be rebuilt with better limbs and the like. The words prove your worth continuing to ring as vork had used macu dechu on the droid lightly to make the words stick without realising it. It would be up to the droid to take the words onboard or to ignore them either way the droid would need to prove it's worth to the capo soon enough.
