Inquisition of sekalus (part 2 of 3)

Well it wasn't a real shame to the Rendili woman, after all the location being the back of a shuttle left a lot to be desired. So the sooner they reached their destination and performed their work, the sooner they would be on their way back to proper quarters to relax at the very least. Although Camellia doubted there would be much real time to relax since they were still working heavily to develop the world for the purposes of the Sisterhood as well as making sure the transformed members of the populace adapted to their situation readily enough. Nonetheless, she was a little sad for their moment to be cut short, but the kiss Sanya left her with was enough to leave her satisfied for now. "Just think of it as necessary measures love, after all we're here mostly so you can create a brand new world just the way you want."

 

[Darth Timoris]

You can only wait so long before stepping in. Maybe the Knight was expecting someone else to do all the hard work, or perhaps he was frozen with fear. Regardless, her Acolyte would struggle to take down a Krayt Dragon alone.

Not that Melori was about to make it too easy for her, but she'd even the odds slightly.

Melori pulled the Force to her, her irises morphing to a sulphuric yellow. This was a big beast but her intention was not to kill it, just slow it enough to give [member=Zaria"] a fighting chance.

She entered the creature's mind. She was no expert in Sith Magic, but she was taught to control creatures back when she was an Acolyte. She followed it's base emotions. Hunger was primary. And a sense of territory was another. They were a threat to its masculinity apparently!

So she needed to either pacify or confuse it. She figured it was too wild right now to pacify outright, so she worked on messing with its brain. So she planted various images and emotions in quick succession. Zaria as an alpha male - a much more powerful and larger Dragon. His hunger sated. Pain in his hind legs.

None would be overwhelmingly convincing - but each would require some attention from it's primitive brain, and Zaria could capitalise on its lack of proactivity.

 

[Darth Zilti]

Terantakeks. Love them or hate them, they tended to be found in tombs. Maja wondered who in their right mind would like one? But now was not the time for such a pattern of thought. She'd be dead before she worked it out.

So she stared it down. There was no point in rushing to make the first move, she would see what it tried first. Its approach was simple and deafening in the close and underground confines of the crypt. It opened up its chest, threw its powerful arms wide and roared. Or was it a bellow? Either way it was loud - and slightly scary.

She was sure others would hear it but figured waiting for help was pointless. She'd be dead before any came.

So she took advantage of the distance between them. Again she opened herself up to the Dark-side - but completely this time. She let it flow through her, drawing it from the very stone underfoot. She called to power buried for centuries, summoning it up to the surface in wispy tendrils of dark smoke snaking up from the ground.

The thin tendrils crawled along the ground, reaching for one another, twining themselves together into writhing tentacles each several meters long. Then, in response to her unspoken command, the tentacles rose up like large black serpents, ready to strike.

 

[Via Dolorosa]

Darth Venefica took a quick look at what her fellow Lady was holding, and chuckled to herself. The Sith Lady, the one that had rescued her back on Mannan when she was just a mere Acolyte, had always found new and inventive ways to surprise her. The object looked like an egg, but in the poor lighting it was hard to tell for sure. However, the roaring coming down the hall made a strong case that it was indeed an egg.​

​

She stepped out into the narrow tunnel, with weapon in hand, and saw the one creature she had hoped to never see again. A mighty and powerful Terentatek. Rather three of them blocking the end of the tunnel. She wasn't trapped, but she had been bred to never run from a fight even if it meant her death. Unlike some of the Sith, old and present, she never wanted to live forever.​

 

[Sierra Momoa]

Desert Fortress

They had it now and she oversaw it, the ones moving in and out of the sections before she lifted up a pot and smashed it getting at the crystals inside for herself before walking with the croa troopers who were working to secure any of the phrik artifacts here to be smelted down and made as they needed to be used. She extended her wings lifting herself up towards one of the battlements as tey were bringing in walls and power generators to use the anti air and anti armor defenses. Their position designed to protect a great position protecting the mines entrance here in the desert while teams were down there securing it with the tapping of her claws.

 

[Azlyn Ike]

Grasslands

They had more constructed, more turrets an anti infantry flame units set up to handle the more dangerous predators before she was heading forward more and more with her attention on the things. Azlyn was moving with her saber as she leaned down a little activating it while some of the creatures were out there coming after them. Her croa fighting and attacking them as they stalked in the tall grass attacking the natives and workign to infect them. That was the goal after all and her saber activated when one came after her with an axe while she moved around holding her hand out to make him scream in terror.

 

[Sawa Ike]

Rotunda and temple

She was working on it now, they had more defenses being set up while the turrets got operated on to be in abundance. The heavy ones with anti armor rockets built along the sides as anti air defenses were spaced out to create blisters of defense. The croa were working to convert and create the dangerous moat of the croa's virus for the ones dying and melting during the conversion. The virus creating a powerful soup to toss things into some of her work. They had thick heavy blast doors designed like the ones at Al-Khali to section it off and work on some of the things before she spoke to one of the lead croa. "Continue fighting with your sisters and anyone left alive work to convert."

 

[Remy Singh]

Coastline

The caves of the coast were a sight to behold as Remy stopped for a moment, letting the thoughts of her master come to her. The sith sorceress was powerful and had been teaching her as the pureblood held her hands to the side reaching out as she searched in the force looking for crystals to add to her sabers. A mine here and everything until her attention went on a few things hearing croa finally catching up with her before they were securing an entrance and she started heading inside.

 

[Bundori]

Temple

Mister Bubbles was moving now more then ever as they had croa going in and out of the houses, They were getting them out and taking them to the rest of the temple that was being worked on before the leviathan moved where his rider and master was directing him with a laugh swinging around over her head the chainsaw blade while cheering. Mister Bubbles roared going down the street with a slash to open one of the buildings as children were screaming inside until the croa were dragging them out and taking them back to the temple.

 

[Shinju]

Temple Grotto

There was a look now as she continued to work on the temples underside, they were creating some of the rooms with the croa sleeping and napping in contented piles while she walked through it hissing at one of them when it snarled at her. The gleaming of her teeth before she continued and working on the temple with the droids leaving them be. "See now it is a wonderful time." She had her two daughters appearing and she grinned with her attention on them for now sitting down and letting them onto her lap. "Now have yu two been having fun?"

 

[Isis Varida]

Station

They were getting better with the construction now as her attention was on some of the things going forward. The Carrack was there and being worked on as the railguns were being worked on for coming through and used to replace the barbettes with railguns. It was easier to work with them and the stations mini crydock could secure them as the teams worked, the next step would be to call in more haulers of supplies and exten the docks to cover more of the planet as she gave some space speaking. "Lady Sanya we are sending more pings of phrik ore on the planet and the docks in space are continuing construction." She crossed her arms and with the machines they had the work going forward.

 

[Balaya Praelior Zambrano]

[member="Darth Venefica"] [member="Darth Zilti"]

SHe could see the creature and hear it now letting her thoughts on the creature while observing it com with her attention. A grin forming before she secured the stone and withdrew her blade. The snap hiss as she towered over the others and rose to fully meet the creatures size in her armor. "AHHH" She screamed in fury and welcoming the fight as the snap hiss of the great saber came, rainbow shifting colors before a second one activated with a purple blade leading the way. "Come at me." There was a grin on her face now before she was lumbering forward.

 

[Seras Goto]

Phrik mine

They had gotten better into the mines now, tapping the vain for them now as she walked around the group that were working and the different droids. "Keep at it." Her attention was on a few of the things until a small command post was set up to report and keep track of what they were getting out before her attention now was on the croa with her. "COntinue pets." The cat woman were nodding and licking at their hands while they moved to handle the situation. Defenses set up that were being made to work on some of them anti air turrets going to defend the transport haulers with phrik and other metals before she was making up plans for a processing area they could take it to. "Lady Sanya we are continuing with extraction efforts."

 

[Sanya Val Lerium]

[member="Camellia Swift"]
Sanya nodded in agreement that it was necessary but an inconvenience. "I know, and this place will be amazing for us and our kind. But there is no rush right. Just at the same time if it's done it's out the way." The shuttle touched down and the ramp opened up. Taking camellias hand in her own Sanya smiled. "Well then I guess we have work to do." She said walking off the shuttle. From what she could see just in the entrance there had been monitors set up so Sanya didn't have to enter deep into the caves in count of her claustrophobia. As she walked over to the team of twenty four, Sanya have them a nod. "Okay everyone begin mining, and make sure to fill several crates some for me and some for cam here, you will all resive a different kind of payment and maybe permanent jobs as my special team of mining here." She said as encouragement to the new croa. They set off into the machines and collecting the equipment before they made their way in. Sanya turned to can with a smile. "You wana head down or would you like to watch on the monitors with me? Kinda found a way I can observe without feeling uncomfortable down there."

"Yes I suppose we do." Sighing even though she was smiling while Sanya took her hand and pulled her out of the shuttle, Camellia couldn't help but feel a bit bothered as she headed down the ramp. The Rendili woman felt like she had been away from her company for far too long as this point, but there wasn't really all that much she could do about it. All the same too she was just happy that the other girl she was with was making her feel so good just being around her. So she supposed it wouldn't come as much of a surprise for the former Jedi that she gave the answer she did when Sanya asked her if she wanted to head into the mine or watch from the monitors. "I'd rather stay with you and watch what's going on. They don't need me to supervise and I'd rather be with you. I know you didn't enjoy the last mining venture back on Rendili, so I wouldn't want to leave you alone either way."

 

[Grima Volitu]

Temple: Somewhere

From the shadows came a monster right out the pages of a horror novel. A Terentatek was coming right for her. When she went by the name of Grima Volitu so many years ago - her Master presented one final test for her to pass before he dubbed her a Knight. To confront and kill a Terentatek then bring it's head as proof of the done deed. Back then she was a wild Togruta who was headstrong and believed she was invincible. The beast had taught her how wrong she was. She barely survived the encounter and by the grace of the Force had survived her near fatal wounds. Zarrah underestimated the beast and it nearly ended her.

Thirty years later she underestimated nothing. She knew what this thing was capable of doing. After that near fatal day she had dedicated a couple months of her youth learning everything there was to learn about them. Their strengths and their weakness. The Terentatek feasted off the Force and this one would get no such meal from her. They were big but they were clumsy and slow moving - even in the confines of this corridor it would struggle to find it's movements fluid.

The big fella was drawing closer to her and using the Force she ripped from the wall a hanging durasteel stud. The stud fell across the corridor - one end digging into the wall - at neck level and the beast to fixed on killing her failed to react to the mock weapon. The stud clotheslined the big fella knocking him to his back throwing up dust into the air when he crashed. "I warned you," Zarrah spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice as her two blades struck home.

She giggles as she placed an arm around her lover and kissing her on the cheek. "Yeah me and small spaces aren't friends never have been. I don't like the idea of been trapped in something that would become my demise. Hence why I had my ship made to be a little roomy inside. But at least there is always an alternative to doing things." She said, it wasn't like she was explaining herself but in a way she was.also it made her smile at the fact she'd rather be with Sanya than observe the new croa work and Sanya knew cam enjoyed doing that. "Your so sweet you know that don't you." She gave camellia a smile pulling her closer as she watched the monitors. They had already reached a wall that they where digging into with mining lasers clearing a way in. It was amazing how fast they worked and how efficient they where. Then again twenty two croa and a drill been operated all at once made a good use of team work. They where working in unison without problem. Maybe the offer as a personal mining team really did motivate them to do their best. Either way it was nice to see. "I never asked, but everyone has a dream something they want to strive for. Im curious to know what it is you want, what to wanna accomplish, achieve or experience?"

Kissing Sanya back on the cheek in return for the one she got, Camellia couldn't help as she giggled a little like she had in her school days to her embarrassment. There weren't many people the Rendili woman could consider to bring out her girly side, but the former Jedi was one of them. "Remind me not to ask you to spend the night in my office to help me with paperwork. With how flooded the room gets with stacks even I feel a little claustrophobic sometimes." Most of the time she was a workaholic and typically rather blunt with matters as a simple fact of doing business. There weren't all that many opportunities for the CEO of a galactic spanning shipwright operation to take a vacation. Well at least for someone who refused to allow others to make the actual decisions. "Maybe, but you're ten times sweeter."

It seemed like the mining team was making fairly decent progress as well, although Camellia wasn't sure if their efforts were attributable to the fact they were now Croa and simply happier with their existence and thus more content with their work than before or if Sanya's offer had some appeal for the girls. Perhaps both since the digging crew likely wanted to please their world's new ruler and fellow Croa. "I don't know anymore. It was once to be the galaxy's premier ship builder and to see Rendili ships everywhere even in peace. . . . .things aren't exactly going right. . ."

 

[Sierra Momoa]

Desert Fortress

THey were moving in with more equipment now, the massive transports creating a wall on the pathway coming up to the fortress, her croa were working and had finished hauling all the things out as they started bringing it together. "We have a very nice collection of things we have found for use. The phrik mine here we'll be able to access and are constructing defenses." Her work was being done and she wondered where her master was on the world as she was heading through the gates now with them being fixed up with stronger blast doors and shields.

 

[Seras Goto]

Phrik Mine

They had more, another transport with equipment and gear being unloaded to mine in there. The slaves and workers with the croa as she was pushing the information itno the com channel with everything now. Venefica would be happy she imagined to see what they had moving herself forward. A nice little spot in the desert they could begin construction on to hold their croa and their special things. She had a great many ideas for a secret prison on the world for research with what would and could be a citadel to her zombie queen. "We are doing well, I want it to be well done while sending things forward to the main citadel."
