Objective: Determine Truth
​

Sterling was no fool. Taozi would know that, and know it well, and therefore would know the risk that she was putting herself in. The truth was that these rebels would be needing his medical knowledge, and ability to provide substantial first aid without the use of proper medical facilities or advanced technology such as, of all things, bacta. The truth was that Taozi, a member of these rebels, was bringing with her someone to who the truth was not known, two someones even. As far as Sterling had any reason to believe, she was completely telling the truth of what was going on.

But he was no fool, Taozi would not be so frantic for normal refugees. She would not be here personally, on the Fuyuan, within as few moments as physically possible. Something was off, these people had some sort of significance, and they weren't their Vod. Therefore, they had some other significant importance to her personally, and she was not being truthful. He would determine what the Truth was.

His first steps onto the ground made smile, as he felt the desert heat on his face. It was, homely, and meant he could go without his armor. Wearing only his white coat and simple blue scrubs underneath, he could feel like Sterling, instead of the Demon his armor made him. Naturally this meant much more of his scales were on display, but to him that was a beautiful thing, and a glance over at Taozi showed the genuine happiness at the heat. Then of course he turned his head to Aurelion, and he put a hand on his head, if the boy would let him, with a reassuring smile before wandering off.

Most everyone he could help, the others from Clan Tal worked on quickly and efficiently. He actually had to look hard for someone to tend to, almost to his annoyance. There was nothing worse than being unneeded. When eventually he did find someone, they mostly had something broken, not needing extensive care. Hands, an arm, or just needing some general first aid. By now he had wandered very far off into the 'refugees', taking mental notes on everything he saw.

They had injuries consistent with fighting, combat injuries repeated over and over. What was Taozi hiding from him? Not a one was asked who they were, where they were from. And their chatter quieted the moment anyone bearing a Clan Tal marking approached...

 

[Aurelion Nova]

OBJECTIVE - Heal People



Where: Varunda IX
Why: Mom told me
Wearing/Wielding: Fate & Robes
When: Shrug
With: Taozi Fuyuan Will Westender Loreena Arenais-Valhoun Sterling Kinslayer

Aurelion gave an understanding nod at Taozi Fuyuan 's instructions, though unlike Sterling the young Padawan didn't think anything more of his mother's concern than what was on the face of it. She was, after all, one of the people he trusted most in the entire galaxy, why wouldn't he trust her? As they stepped down onto the planet's hot surface Aurelion was reminded of his time on Tatooine and.... boy was he glad there were no crazy fire cultists again. Aurelion was thankful enough for the lack of crazy, evil, fire-slinging Dark-Siders that he didn't take note of the wounded's silence when he approached. He didn't take note of the hush that overtook them at his presence and he most certainly didn't take note of how odd it seemed his Mother was so concerned with these people. Any possibility of taking note of these things was lost when Sterling placed a hand on his head, and Aurelion nodded, knowing there was only so much he could do. Certainly not major surgeries.

Instead Aurelion helped who he could and, once all the cases his limited training allowed him to help were assisted, he busied himself with gathering the supplies, components and equipment the more skilled medical staff might need. Making extra certain to stay close to Sterling and Taozi as much as he could, since he wasn't entirely sure who might be friend or foe here, and.... even though he was hardly a threat to a fire-throwing maniac he would gladly do anything he could to protect Taozi. Even die for her.

This thought made Aurelion stop in his tracks, glance up at her, and feel his heart swell as he watched her. Tears nearly beading in his eye as he swallowed harshly, renewed energy flowing into him as the Force fueled his steps. His movements became quicker, more precise, his strides more confident and his walking speed became notably faster to everyone but himself. Without even realizing it Aurelion was simply walking as fast as other members of Clan Tal were running, all because of the love of one woman he would call Mom.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, Ingrid knew that here she could only rely on her willpower against the other. The entity attacked first, the woman couldn't really say what it had done. She didn’t recognize the style of the attack. But before the attack reached her, a few inches from Ingrid the attack stopped. As if surrounded by an aura glowing in a purple light she believed it was her willpower. The entity attacked and attacked again as it approached Ingrid. The woman had no idea how long she could endure against the entity.

So she tried to attack instead, she wondered how well it would be if she had a weapon. At that moment, her lightsabers were there in her hands and on the side were the two vibroblades she hadn't brought here with her now. She then tried to use the Force, which she also succeeded in doing. So at least she will be able to fight in the same way as in reality, it was a great relief for her. Mainly because she was not really prepared for this by Tacitus. She switched weapons and attacked the other with her blades.

Her attack had a similar effect as that of the entity only her attack stopped in a reddish aura. Ingrid found this very unpleasant, yet this fight will not be as easy as she had hoped. She tried to concentrate the Force into the blades for the next attack to see if it used it. And it worked. She had cut through on the reddish aura and she hurt the entity. The entity hissed in pain and it attacked her back the next second.

But not in a normal way, not with a mental or physical attack, the entity simply grabbed Ingrid's arm, who felt as if she was seized by the hottest and coldest thing in the universe at the same time. She felt something strange, as if the entity was trying to consume her, her essence, just like how Ingrid was stealing Scherezade’s rage. But this entity not just wants to steal emotions, it wants her memories, her skills, her abilities, the entity wants everything what Ingrid was. It wants her.

Ingrid realized it all in an instant, she did not want to allow this to be, she wanted to stay on her own. Through her father she did not know the concept of defeat, she had to win now and he will win! And she already had an idea of how, only she can win here… one way or another, but she will win!

Shavara noted the medical difficulties some were having. However, at least in her eyes, these were all minor things. The sort of thing that should be repaired in minutes, maybe an hour. That, however, came from someone who's world was so full of medical technology and progress the prospect of a deadly disease that wasn't manufactured or quickly shut down was near zero. In a way it was like being spoiled.

So when she saw people tending to wounds, she became uncertain on what she should be doing. Like many of her race she was a biologist, and had taken it up as her focus outside of her alchemic studies. However, those were interrelated. She looked at this particular group, watching their techniques from afar. She could possibly be mistaken for simply an alien needing protection from the environment given her outfit. As long as someone did not recognize the mask.

Foreigners giving assistance. She was here to learn, so she would. Along with watching the methods used to help heal using what, to her, were less than effecient methods. Not because of their skills, but because of their technology. Surely better technology could be brought? Then again, perhaps they were just trying to keep under the radar of the Eternal Empire. That would certainly make sense.

Beyond that, she noticed the unusual features of one of them. Sterling Kinslayer was not of a race she recognized. He was neither of a typical humanoid race nor one like the trandoshans, a race she primarily knew due to having heard their resemblance to the Osorae. He was scaled somewhat, yet lacked the more aggressive combat features that were added to the Osorae race. After a few minutes, she decided to approach, her natural curiosity too much to wait until she was with her own people to ask about it.

She walked near him, a distance of around his height, 2 meters. He was a good bit taller, though, height was an alterable aspect. She looked at his face with a pause before she finally spoke. "Hello to you. I do not know what you are. Will you please tell me?" she asked. The words were extremely pronounced to the point it was like she was reciting them phonetically directly from a dictionary. It was the common way most Vran spoke other languages, they could mimic well, but the change of any word could be a huge distortion of its meaning in their own language. Meaning exact pronunciation was natural.

It occurred to her perhaps she should in turn introduce herself, but she could not use her real name. And she wasn't sure if the name Sar Vun was one she should use either. Still, she wanted to add something. "I have come here seeking to learn. Or I have come to help. That can be decided by what is more productive. However I have noticed a lack of good medical technology. Is there better, or will more technology be required should someone face issue."

​

Sterling could almost lose himself in his work, tending to wounded while keeping an eye on Aurelion and Taozi. This really was his sort of element, setting bones or removing bits of metal from people's sides. Of course there wasn't enough of the latter to straight prove to Sterling that Taozi had indeed been keeping something incredibly close to her chest, but enough that he could continue to know something was up. His ears weren't picking up any conversation tidbits, even with his hunter's senses, something concerning considering how well trained that sense was.

Speaking of, that very sense picked up the shifting sand under the feet of Shavara . His tail flicked its tip slightly, and he turned slowly to face them. Slowly so as not to smack his tail into anyone, and also not make the odd one jump by turning around quickly. He waited for them to speak, taking note of how precisely they pronounced each word, like this language was strange but not difficult to speak like it was for him. An odd detail. Very odd.

He lifted his right hand, made a fist, and hit his chest with it gently to indicate himself, as he answered the new person's question. "Komo." Knowing that Aurelion Nova was likely nearby from his bouncing about, he couldn't even try to hint at his lack of understanding to the current situation, not that he could likely voice it.

"Doctor, come quick. Not time for much, Tal Tribe bring Ee-Sen-Shallss. Help.. Reff.. Reff-You-Gees." By the Powers that hurt his throat, he couldn't help but lift his hand and rub his neck at it. Too many complicated words too quick, and it wasn't like any other words were coming out natural either. Most everything was a struggle to say, and his voice would almost dip into growling out the words whenever he did. "Other take tech... tech... tech. Komo no need, fix any way." A deep breath, and he decided to ask a question Taozi hadn't forbidden, after all this person hadn't come here to escape but to learn. Refugees wouldn't be here for that reason, right now. Another tap on his chest, "Sterling. You?"

She felt fear or fright just for a moment, Ingrid was able to fight this afterwards, she knew she could not panic, because if she let her emotions rule over her the entity would win immediately. With her inherited things she steeled her mind and emotions in moments. Surprise flowed from the movements of the entity it didn't expect that at all. In fact, neither did Ingrid, she was just hoping. Though the entity seemed quite airy, she did not pull herself out of the other's grip.

She tried a much riskier thing than that, she didn't know if she would succeed or die, but she wasn't a coward, she didn't run. This time she grabbed the entity, she tried something like when she can absorb the emotions of others or just steal them. She didn't really know what to expect, what would happen, but she saw no other option. The result might have surprised even her because Ingrid did not expect what had happened.

As a vision she saw images depicting the life of the entity, true the whole thing was blurry, obscure, so Ingrid didn't really understand what she was seeing. However, she seemed to see not only memories, but much more. She suddenly felt that she also knew Force abilities she had never heard of before and how to use them. Suddenly she also knew how to steal or look at memories and knowledge, actual knowledge, not just theoretical. This is what the entity wanted to use on her to take everything away, but this plan was the other way around, Ingrid learned things about it.

Sith magic, Sith alchemy, necromancy, illusions, fear, how to resurrect someone, how she can gain speed from the Force. How can she use her own abilities in more effective ways. How to manipulate energies, or just protect herself from them, but she also saw how she could control the elements like fire. How she can steal them from the entity or someone else or how she can teleport with the Force. It was an endless array of possibilities. So far she has only seen the basics, she will have to practice a lot to use them confidently.

Ingrid saw and felt the fear of the entity that things did not go the way the entity wanted. Now she let go of the entity and turned to face it, she already knew how to fight. Now the odds were much more balanced than before…

[Sasha Voss]

Operation Green Prince (Unit 404)
City of Raytaf - Tof Unification Movement Occupied City
Trenwyth

When the door to the APC bus didn't blow off completely with the initial blast set by Centiro , the redhead had to do a stutter step to slow down in order to not get run through with his lightsaber's green blade as he did a quick cut across the hinge keeping the door in place, then she took a long stride after to enter into the passenger compartment. This made Sasha a bit unbalanced though being lithe on her feet she was able to correct herself easily mid-leap and still able to perform her task...

But the operative only found a body double inside with one guard. The Dark Jedi filled with rage as she killed them in cold blood, then retreated back out the blown entrance, scanning the market area for the missing mark. Her danger sense flared as a volley of blaster fire came her way. With a snap-hiss Sasha's magenta blade came to life and batted the bolts back were they came from...

That's when she spotted the Tof Unification Leader slipping down an alleyway trying to get away unnoticed in the middle of the fray. Sasha took off running after him, sending a mental nudge to Fimrati Vailyippin to watch her back and to the Emissary of her whereabouts and unfinished business.

There would be hell to pay later especially if the Dark Angel lost him... but she had no intention of doing so. There was blood in the water now so to speak.

She watched his hand as it was lifted in a fist, but it was only being used for gesturing as he tapped himself with it and gave his name. She smiled, glad that he responded, not that it could be seen form behind the mask. She had to narrow her eyes in thought trying to understand what he was saying, it wasn't that it was completely awful, but she had to sound it out again in her head. Her head tipped back as she noticed his hand go to his throat, so Galactic Basic was unpleasant for him. She understood at least that he was here to help the refugees. And was pretty sure he had said essentials. It also sounded like he said they wouldn't need any further technology and that he'd do just fine as is.

He tapped his cheek, this time calling himself Sterling. And then asked her name. She hesitated. However, she saw a double solution here. She could solve her own issues with galactic basic and his at once, if he'd let her. She took in a breath, reaching out with her mind to his, to give him words and allow him to send his own in return, should he choose. She wasn't as strong a telepath as the Vo Ni that lead armies through it, no so far from that. But she still knew how to use it.

From that, if he was willing to receive them, he might hear her words in his head rather than aloud. The voice was slightly different than that of the one she'd spoken aloud, and was more clean. "I apologize if this displeases or upsets you, it is quite normal for me. Don't worry, I have no intention of reading any extra thoughts you have. Just what you give me. But I think we both might find it easier to communicate this way. I go by Sar Vun. I'm a doctor too, of sorts. Biologist would be a more accurate term." she looked at those around her, "I will admit, I do not yet fully understand technology levels outside my world. You travel the stars so easily, and yet...suffer from what could be healed in moments with the right equipment. I am sorry, I had a different question. I don't know exactly what you are. I have never seen a species like yours before, well, not one that hadn't undergone modification. Your tail and scales, even your difficulty speaking in common tongues, resembles that of the Osorae, yet you lack their...more combative design. Can I ask what you are?"

Objective: Provide aid
​

Taozi directed her clan here and there, keeping a close eye on her son. She had not wanted to bring him, truthfully, but there was no time to send him off with the rest of the fleet. She was just thankful the rebels quieted down when she or other members of her clan approached them, as it kept both the rebels and Clan Tal safe.

Plausible deniability and all that.

When her eyes were not on Aurelion, she would glace over to her other student. She was no fool, and she knew Sterling was a smart man. He had to at least know something didn't add up, but that was something she could, hopefully, address at a later date. Keeping her involvement with the rebellion a secret from her son and student weighed on her heavily, but she had to protect them.

The Empire would not be kind to them if she didn't.

The sound of light footsteps suddenly stopping roused her from her thoughts, and she turned to see her son staring up at her, blue eye meeting her own pink eyes. She smiled at him, and nodded approvingly as he went back to work. It was only after watching him a few moments, that she tilted her head.

How was he moving so quickly at a walking speed? From what Taozi could tell, he wasn't doing it purposefully... But, at least it was getting supplies around faster.

She'd talk to him about it once they were back at home.

She continued to fight, this time not waiting for the other to attack, she started. She now understood how Scherezade's anger would not prevail over her and don’t feel like it wanted to tear her apart, it was to make everything easier. So she could use that anger much better, gaining strength from it, while perfectly controlling her own emotions as usual. As Tacitus expected from her. Ingrid finally found the perfect balance, she searched for months, but a small point was always missing, and now she could steal it from an entity.

Since it was just an "imagined" world, moreover, her own mind, Ingrid, began to diminish it or just to raise herself, it was all a matter of point of view. She shaped the environment into what was her worst training, she wanted to make being here uncomfortable for the other. Soon the entity was stuck in a corner because there was no more place left to escape. The family sword appeared in Ingrid's hand, which she will one day inherit if it is worth the day to live longer than her father. Although the head of the family or Clan was not her, but the head of the L'lerim noble house was. And with the sword she stabbed the entity in the heart.

The world collapsed around her, she was in the hall again, she knelt on the ground, she could control her body again and the entity did not float that far from her. She did not seem to have a very pleasant host for the entity. But the war was not over, maybe she could banish it from her body, but the Force entity continued to cause trouble, she had to defeat it somehow. As she thought, she found something in the previously stolen memories. She can steal other things too, not just memories, techniques, but she can drain the Force from others. For example now from the Force entity. But unfortunately she knew only the theory of this, not even her opponent knew how it was possible.

She felt her opponent weakened considerably, but unfortunately he was also tired, the former struggle was quite exhausting for her. Her current knowledge - thanks to Tacitus - and what she just stole knew most about necromancy. She had to tear the entity apart or send it back to the afterlife, to break away from this world. But before that she had to bind it to herself, and she had just got rid of it. That was not her day. As she got up from the ground, she took a deep breath, she began to concentrate to be able to carry out what she thought…

[Aurelion Nova]

OBJECTIVE - Speak to Mother, Sterling and.... someone else?



Where: He is needed
Why: For Taozi
Wearing/Wielding: Fate & Robes
When: He is ready
With: Taozi Fuyuan Sterling Kinslayer Shavara Will Westender Loreena Arenais-Valhoun

After Aurelion had finished gathering what supplies were needed for his fellow Clan members, and after he had performed what procedures he was capable of, Aurelion would begin to walk back towards Taozi when his skin would tingle and he would feel Shavara reach out for Sterling's mind. A presence he was not familiar with? Reaching out for the mind of someone he cared about? Aurelion stiffened and turned, glancing at the two of them with worry before it became obvious to his senses her actions were not hostile. This made him release a breathe he was not aware he had been holding and, deciding he trusted Sterling enough not to pray, approached his mother with a small smile. Having been waiting for a moment to surprise her with the Mando'a he had been studying and learning and, well, he couldn't think of anywhere better than with their Clan.

"Buir, Ni ganar something Ni vercopaanir at tengaanar gar."

He would say, somewhat haltingly, but his pointed ears would give a happy wiggle as he said it correctly. At least, he thought he had. Regardless he would kneel beside Taozi, facing out towards their Clan, and close his eye. He would take a slow, steadying breathe before he would speak to her in Mando'a once again, now in a much calmer voice as he sat on his knees, hands braced upon them lightly, and center himself. "Ni urmankalar bic Kelir cuyir very pirimmuy at te clan." Without another word Aurelion would extend his senses, his presence, out through the Force to every Clan Tal member he could see, Taozi herself, Sterling, Shavara and even beyond to Will.

-- Using: Adept Battle Meditation --

Each Clan Tal member Aurelion could see, Sterling, Shavara, Taozi and Will would find their senses now heightened to the best they had ever felt in their lives. Their resolve, determination and focus becoming bolstered and reassured by a kind, gentle presence that stood beside them and reassured them as well as it could. The medical crews of Clan Tal peformed even more admirably than normal, hands were steadied, procedures undertaken by overworked medical personnel would feel as if they were fresh from a long nap. In summary, those who were strained and stressed would feel good, those who felt normal would feel great and those who had felt good would feel at their absolute best. At least, should they choose to accept the sensation and help Aurelion offered.

This was not without cost, however, and though Aurelion was trying his best to make Taozi proud.... he would not be able to maintain such an effect forever or, for that matter, all that long. He was still coming to grips with his abilities, after all, and even now his arms tensed as they gripped his knees. His eye was clenched slightly in effort, and his breathing began to grow heavier than before.

​

On her reddish hands she held a small notebook and a black quill, her head was turned down and her eyes were rolling all over her notes. Her hand also moving too fast, writing more stuff and doing the proper calculations about the issue she was wondering, seeming almost entirely that she ignored the words of the white-haired man, and almost certainly she did just that. Were it not for the mind doing the math necessary to form a similar but different type of creatures using the DNA of animals selected especially by it. Like the vornskr, gharzr and the maalraas, to form one of the most dangerous creatures in the entire galaxy, perhaps putting a few other things in the middle of it all, there was the idea to consider that shoving so much predatorial DNA into a creature was as dangerous as shoot yourself in the foot with a disruptor.​

His lips broke into a smile, so wide that his sharp white teeth appeared immediately, and from within his throat came a dry, repetitive sound, which soon grew and gained more sound until it became a laugh. Loud, shrill and tenebrous, a sound that almost never met its end.​

“A time machine is what I need, sir. Clone them? No, no, no, no, no, no. I ran the numbers.”, she raised her little notebook and flipped all the pages filled with numbers and equations that she just did as they were talking. “Impossible! A voxyn shares the exact same DNA as his fellow dogs, all, probably, from their queen, which probably was destroyed alongside the rest when those Vongs lost their war. Yes, they are girls and this means I can’t stretch something already thin like their DNA chain and breed more, otherwise they would come out like a product of tapani incest. All disgusting and floppy. No, no, no, no, no, no.”​

“BUT, I can… maybe, just maybe… make something even better than those outdated pets. But for that I will need for that would be a LOT of Vongs, and I mean a lot of Vongs, which I know where to find, off course. And besides that with a lot of droids, humans and other sorts of aliens I can make stuff even more impressive, but I would need a big place to operate… a BIG place. Bigger than those awful warehouses the department call a laboratory.” ​

She stopped talking and did not even cared listening what was going to be replied, she started to scratch on her notebook once again. She was running numbers, making notes of all she needed and all that could be required for such a enterprise, and that would take a lot of templates, and few fellow doctors, she needed droids and a lot of soldiers, other aliens were prone to get sentimental when their fellow aliens were being tortured on the dissection table and she would torture them. This are of the galaxy had so many species that could serve her purposes on creating something beautiful. ​

“Oh, what about those lizards? Those big beautiful lizards. How are they called again?”, She bit her lower lip hard as her left lekku rose from her back and nudged her head. “Yess-s! The Sssss ... sssi-ruuvi. I would need a lot of them, they were great foes for those klarking idiots of the First Order, and they could become great slav… Correction, thralls? Yes? On the service of the Eternal Empire.” ​

​

At first, the lack of a response prompted Sterling to tilt his head in confusion. This person clearly could speak, even had, and he doubted they were unable to hear or they would not have asked him a question to begin with. However when he felt the person press against his mind, no not press, ease words against his thoughts for him to 'hear', he understood immediately. He couldn't hide a small smile as he nodded his head at this 'Sar Vun', listening to the words they gave before responding, his thoughts first hesitant as he wasn't certain how to go about it but easily picked up amidst the no doubt unfamiliar structure of his thought processes.

"Ah, you are a Living God then, Like Taozi, or the Jedi. Yes this does make things much simpler for us, far easier than stumbling through speaking like newborn hatchlings." There was a grumbling chuckle as Sterling addressed Sar Vun, his thoughts far more structured than how he spoke. In fact, in comparison to the somewhat gravely, disjointed, or growl like sounds that slipped into his words, these sounded far more like what you'd hear from a well trained, professional doctor. Clean and crisp, posh almost. "From my understanding, the knowledge to travel the Star Sea is different from the knowledge to fix broken bodies. I won't pretend to know more than that, my kind tend to avoid technology all together anyways. We brought what we could to help the refugees in a short time, Chieftain Taozi did not wait to gather anything more. That's why I came with, I can work without technology to stabilize people."

"As for what I am, I know not these creatures you speak of, but my kind are called Komo. I am called Sterling Kinslayer, and I take some small offense at being called lacking compared to a created creature. I'll have you know I have the great honor of bearing many scales and can rip a man's arm free if I so chose to." Of course there was a tone of levity towards the 'offense', indicating he was not being serious and only amusing himself. He took a glance back at one of the 'refugee' rebels resting, and nodded his head sideways at him before politely turning his back on Shavara . HE kept talking, of course, as he knelt down to check on the individual.

"You certainly sound familiar with medical sciences though, certainly so if it confuses you why recovery time is necessary. Tell me Sar Vun, were you free to do whatever you needed to help this man here, what would you do?" By now, Aurelion Nova was beginning his meditation, prompting Sterling to first scratch at his ears, frowning a little bit. OF course, the majority of benefits were just fine, but his hearing was already developed to pick up minute details, meaning the sand was just a little more irritating to listen to. Still that quickly faded, replaced with some concern as he glanced off towards the boy, kneeling down by his mother. He too was a God, like his mother, but he was not a strong one yet, and he couldn't hide concern that the boy would stress himself.

Still he couldn't risk stopping him, and had to trust Taozi and the boy to be careful for now. Having given time for Sar Vun to give their idea of treatment, he'd nod slightly and give his own, while doing so of course. "This man took a heavy fall, likely onto his arm and chest. There's at least two fractured ribs here and here, which will take some time to heal and need proper facilities for if they get worse. Best I can do now is wrap him in a fairly tight bandage and make breathing just a bit easier. As for the arm, that will need a sling for now until he can get it treated better, so I'll do that as well as take extra bandage and wrap it around him again to hold his arm still. Now he should be comfortable enough to get better treatment when it's available. Does that sound like something you would do on your world?"

To tell the truth, after a while Ingrid lost her sense of time, she could not tell if minutes or hours had passed since she played tig with the entity. She had to concentrate all the way so that the creature could not possess her again or even injure her. She guessed it would not be easy to use her previous theoretical knowledge and what she just stole from the entity. The Force was constantly swirling around them; they both tried to find a catch on the other. Which was not easy in light of the fact that they both knew the other from the theft of memories.

Otherwise it would have been helpful, but not here, while trying to steal even more information from the other, even more memories when she just walked close to the entity and touched each other. After many attempts, she succeeded, finding what she was looking for. Her attempts were quite rude anyway, as she did not know how to use this ability correctly. Thus, the entity was continuously damaged due to memory thefts not physically, because it could not, but mentally it could. In the end Ingrid finally found what the entity was hiding.

A holocron. It bound the entity to the world of the living, in the light of the memories and knowledge she had previously acquired, she regretted having to destroy it because she would have been interested, but her survival was a primary consideration. Although, if she manages to lock back the entity into the holocron, that may already be enough. Ingrid allowed herself a short predatory smile, though she was exhausted, but satisfied.

<”Gotcha!”> she said.

She knew exactly where to look for the object, even deeper than she was now, it was under this room in the next hall. As the entity realized what Ingrid had learned, it tried to escape. Ingrid let the other do that, she took out her lightsabers and cut a circle into the ground beneath her. The ground surrendered, and she found himself in the place where the Holocron was, at the other end of the hall on a dimly lit altar.

[Shavara]

Tags: Sterling Kinslayer
Nearby (I think): Aurelion Nova , Taozi Fuyuan
Objective: Learn and observe
Physical alterations: Underneath mask. Height +2 inches to 5'5" (voice will be different but accent remains the same)

Equipment:
shavaras-robes
shavaras-kestralis-ring
vuns-kaliek
sar-vuns-mask (creates a mask over her presence in the force, instead having its own)

She furrowed his brow as he called her a living god, that was certainly not the terminology they used. Compared her to 'Taozi' and the jedi. She nodded when he mentioned this being a better method of speaking, though still chose to address the other matter, "I cannot say that the Jedi, or this 'Taozi' are like I am. I have heard only tidbits of the Jedi and nothing of Taozi." since she didn't know them well, she also couldn't think of any differences they may possess. Other than the lack of a Vo. However that was not something her kind was accustom to sharing.

He was certainly more than his verbal speech would make out. Of course, most were, deep down. Even those whose words claimed them greater than they were, were simply more in a different way, but less in the way they pretended. He explained that his kind avoided technology, even though he was here with some at least. And that, regardless of technology, he could help stabilize the individuals who needed it.

He then answered her question on his kind, Komo. And he was Sterling Kinslayer, a strange last name. She wondered if it had a specific origin or was pure coincidence. He was lighthearted about it, but he had said that there was offense. And then mentioned his strength. Yes it was perhaps a joke, she still felt apologetic which might be felt, "I don't mean to offend, I'm just not used to off worlders. But you really needn't take it, the Osorae are beings of war and servitude. Even as an unkown foreigner, my people would consider you better than them. But not necessarily stronger. It's...complicated."

They turned back to the refugees and he went over to one still speaking through the mind, he posed a question about the individual in question. She knelt down by them, gently attempting to feel for the injuries. However as she did she felt the presence of Aurelion Nova as he used his gifts to enhance those of others, she turned her head towards him and smiled beneath the mask, young, but that was a complicated gift. One she did not possess. "A skilled fellow member." she said simply to Sterling before sitting back and looking at the refugee before responding, "If I was given full free control, the simplest in modern times is use of a biological-medical-reconstruction-device. I could use it to analyze his injuries with far more certainty, then use anesthetic while opening them up to repair, replace, and then reseal, his body leaving him only slightly more exhausted. This however would require a generator. Otherwise there are more mobile medical technologies, I believe most of the galaxy makes use of bacta which could prove helpful. Injuries like this would usually be sewn back together, that is not the correct word but it's the closest I can think of. I'm more a surgeon, creator, and researcher, then I am an emergency medic."

She listened as Sterling explained how he would proceed to do it. Temporary solutions, allow the body to heal itself if possible, and using very minimal technology since it was mostly exterior bandages for an interior wound. She had to think about that for a bit. It was so incredibly minimal and she was so used to...using more equipment. "Not unless in extremely unfortunate circumstances. We don't like leaving injuries or diseases. A soldier might have to learn these methods to make sure they could get proper treatment, but I personally have never seen these things done. It would inhibit working until he gets treatment. And my people hate sloth." she paused, before adding quickly, "Not that I'm saying they or you are being lazy. I know that in a sense my people are spoiled by comparison in the medical field. Our soldiers train with live weapons with only immediate death pulled off the table, only because we know we can repair it. From what I know, these people don't have that same luxury. So I guess people who know what they're doing, even when they aren't given the option of such things, are extremely important. I don't know as many of those methods because they wouldn't be needed for what I do."

The race has begun, Ingrid pushed herself off the ground and hurried toward the holocron; she was not physically tired, only mentally, so this was not difficult to accomplish. The entity showed up halfway in front of Ingrid and tried to hold it up, but the woman was least interested in it all. She threw to the side in a quick motion and pulled the holocron to herself with telekinetics. The entity, unlike its previous determination, tried to get it after the holocron with its hand, not with much success, as it did not have a physical form either.

The holocron fell into Ingrid's hands, she could already see the object damaged in flight. A strange feeling gripped her as she touched the object. It was all as if lightning had struck her or very strong energy had passed through her. Suddenly it was as if the whole world had changed around her, she felt the Force much better than before. The same feeling as when the ritual of the wizards of Tacitus hit her. Just this time she was not terrified. This time she knew what it all meant. Not before had her full power awakened with the ritual, it has just happened now.

The entity disappeared, flew back in moments, back into the holocron. Ingrid felt a huge temptation at that moment. All he had to do was stretch her arms to gain as much power as she wanted, to acquire all the knowledge of the entity and the holocron. All she had to do was reach into the Force and embrace it. The holocron showed under the touching how she might be able to release her own emotions and feelings. All she had to do was think, so that Ingrid can then exploit her own emotions and use it. To take on a real Sith, a mighty Sith, she just had to let the holocron help her.

Ingrid felt disgusted for a second, she suppressed it in moments. She had been good at this since childhood, but now it was even easier, she could get formidable power at a price she refused to give. She should have given herself up for all this, she should have perished. Ingrid shook her head, it was completely out of the question! Ingrid was a L'lerim, the L'lerim bloodline never chooses the easier way! Never! They are all strong, stubborn, and adhere to their own principles. Ingrid was like that, the perfect combination of her parents just like her sisters. And they would not do the same, the temptation grew stronger and stronger, and Ingrid resisted more and more. The way she did it became easier and easier to balance herself.

She achieved everything on her own, without the Force. She didn’t need the power she would just get. She will not be a toy of the Force, she was and will remain her own master. Her allegiance to the Emperor, to the Eternal Empire, to her family... Ingrid refused to trade them for power. However, Scherezade's anger wanted power, Ingrid felt that she wanted to tear it apart again so that it could rule. However, now it seems to have been the most natural thing in the world Ingrid suppressed the feeling as if it had never existed. They will not rule, she has always been proud to control her emotions, and now she has become even more of a master of it.

Both the Entity and the Holocron realized they had no chance here, they were preparing for another, final attack. She was the member of the Wardens of the Shroud not the Sith Order, she was a different dark side user. She didn’t want power! Ingrid opened her eyes and threw the holorcon away from hers, after that with the Force she smashed the Holocron with previously stolen knowledge. At the moment of the Holocron's demise, an explosion occurred and Ingrid lost her consciousness…

Ingrid had no idea when she woke up or how long it had taken, the mud on her clothes was already completely dry, hard drying, and it burst with a loud crack as the woman moved. Her head hurt quite a bit and she still felt exhausted, that is, now better than before. She tried to stand up, but at first she was dizzy, she hated it when she was so vulnerable. She still felt the Force around her much more strongly than before. She didn't want to burden herself now, but she had a feeling it would be easier than ever to use the Force.

She felt that with the Force she could also soothe her feelings. So far Ingrid has always done it with her willpower, but now with the Force it has become even easier. She felt a perfect balance, she didn’t feel capable of anything, she had the confidence of a healthy self like her whole life. But there was no more, she did not feel the temptation, that is, she shook it off as if it did not even exist. She was herself, completely, she checked herself all the way in the way she had learned. Thinking, muscles, body, consciousness, knowledge, movements, etc.

Everything was exactly as before, only much better able to control her mind and even her movements, but there was no Force in that either. She knew herself now more than ever and thinking became faster and easier. As if she had become smarter, though it was difficult to accomplish because she had a brilliant mind so far. She managed to get up from the ground for the second time, but she was still nauseous. Then she felt hungry and thirsty, it only took a moment to suppress these feelings. But from this she knew that she might have been knocked out long enough.

She went to the pieces of the holocron, which were now at least a dozen. According to her heart, Ingrid would have left them here, or would have completely destroyed the remaining pieces. But she wanted to understand what had happened to her, what the entity had done to her. She held out her hand and flew the pieces through telekinetics. Now she had no strange feelings from the holocron when she touched the pieces.

But she knew how she could put it together so that it might work again. It scared her for a moment, but it immediately suppressed the feeling, she was not waving. She was a little embarrassed that it went so easily, but she was basically happy about it. She put the pieces of the holorcon in the pockets of her uniform and then started out without even looking around. Because of the stolen memories, she knew there was nothing else in this place…

[Sienn Ani]

​

Objective: Not stand out, Not get in anyone's way
Attire: [This]
Tags: | Open |

------------------------------

This...was not at all something in the ordinary. Under any other circumstances, Sienn'Ani would have stuck to her own devices, continued to look out for herself, and just keep her nose out of any other business that didn't immediately pertain to her. But this, this had been different. A simple job of digging up information for good pay had turned to leeching into a transmission. Information about a rebellion, people in need of aid, the works - again something that Si would have usually run from without so much as a backwards glance. But her gut had refused to let this sleeping dog lie, and after a couple of days of trying to forget, of trying to press on, she just couldn't do it.

Finding someone who had known anything about how she could throw in her aid to this cause hadn't been as difficult as it should have been. Though then again, Sienn wasn't a normal person in that regard. She could hack her way into just about any system and find what she wanted, who she wanted, so on and so forth. So finding what she had needed to get the information she had wanted hadn't been all that difficult. From there it had been a matter of meeting up with a recruiter and then getting passage to where this array of people were supposedly meeting up - for reasons Sienn only barely understood. She knew people needed help, she understood there were refugees to help, and that was why she couldn't shake the whole ordeal off.

Having been someone who had very much been in a similar situation as any refugees, Si most definitely had a soft spot for those in serious need - whether she liked to admit it or not. Perhaps it was that very thing that drove her to put her hand in, perhaps it was the fact that she was tired of being on her own all of the time. Whatever the case, she had arrived and wasted no time in volunteering her time and efforts into helping those who either couldn't help themselves, or needed help doing as such.

Naturally she took notice of others around who were also lending aid, but she did her best to stay out of the way. Yes, she could help in whatever way was needed of her for the most part, but she wasn't about to step all over someone's toes or blatantly get in the way when someone could offer the kind of help and support that she herself could not.

However, there was no memory that normal stairs had collapsed, so she had no choice but to go back to the center of the hall and there she jumped up with the help of the Force in the hole she had cut. As soon as he got up he stumbled again. She definitely shouldn’t use the Force until she rests. She has previously experienced that she can go beyond this in the Force using.

Fortunately she did not need to use the Force again until she arrived back to the Emperor. Well that was not true entirely, she needs to send a message to him when she is already in the swamp again. That she had completed the task entrusted to her and successfully solved what she promised. Ingrid hoped that during this time the Imperials would also complete the mission and gain the planet.

She slowly got out of the ancient temple and it was still out there during the daylight. She wasn’t so much knocked out, not half a day, though she could not rule out that a day had passed or more. To tell the truth, she didn’t feel like walking around the swamp for hours again. It was then that she remembered that this was not necessary, now she didn't have to find anything to wander to.

Ingrid pulled out her communicator; she may need to send someone out for the other vehicle, but at least she can invite someone here to take her back to her own. The connection was established in an instant, instructed her men to locate her coordinates and send a dropship for her. In addition, someone should go for the biker, the coordinates of which she also sent to the soldiers. After they locate her, she also receives the answer that they would get there within ten minutes.

She sat down a little tired on one of the fallen pillars until she waited for the dropship here…

<”And bring a mug of coffee as well!”> she ordered.

Receiving confirmation of this as well, she blew her breath out of her lungs. She listened with closed eyes to the surroundings and the silence, she felt like her head was suddenly full of everything. Tried to classify and group the acquired knowledge as she began to realize these, how much everything and what she stole from that entity, her head started to hurt again.

Not even in her wildest dreams did she believe that he could know so much at once. Fortunately these were mere knowledge, Ingrid did not take anything from the personality of the entity. And the memories... She saw them, yes, but they had no effect on the woman's soul. It was more like she was watching a movie all the way through. In the end, she couldn’t complain, not only did she gain so much new knowledge, but it could have been even easier to remain who she was.

Her aunt surely would be very curious about all this, but it may even be the Emperor. Oh yes, the Emperor, Ingrid almost forgot that she still wanted to send him a message before the Ultranauts arrived. She reached out to the Force and she started to send a telepathic message to him. Strictly in the way they talk to each other:

<”My lord, the task for which you sent me here is accomplished. I found a way to get rid of the stolen emotions, not to mention that what happened here allows me to control my emotions even better than before. I will report to you personally on this, the Force Entity, and everything else”> she sent this to Kainan Wolfe .

At that moment she heard the sound of the dropship, and she even saw the vehicle. Finally, they will arrive in no time…
