Private Jedi Heist

[Taji Nelson]

A lot of work had been put by Taji into a project he had recently underwent. Since building a teleporter was next to impossible for him despite his best efforts Taji had decided he needed to get something already capable of teleportation. This had prompted a lot of research into the technology and also into items that used the Force to do so. Once he had found out that the Silver Jedi had one such item in their possession, he had located the planet it was on. Now, he was gearing up to raid said planet so he could have the teleporter. This was why he had come to one of their planets closest to the border they had. He had landed his Lion covertly on the planet and was gearing up for the heist that lay ahead. Drinking a couple of Energexs, he made sure he had done all his business including a trip to the bathroom as there wouldn't be time for him to stop to do so when he began this raid.

All in all he knew once he did this there was likely no going back. The Silver Jedi were likely to hate him for this, or at least make sure he didn't have peace. He wasn't a Dark Side Practicioner, nor would he employ such abilities during this raid. No, during the raid he would simply use what he had built. Gadgets could be oh so very useful for him as opposed to the Force as he had never had someone to teach him. A mentor of a neutral persuasion would be needed down the line, he knew that much.

The planet Phaseera wasn't the first one he'd thought of that would be a place where they'd keep their more exotic collections. Yet here he was about to hit the planet for all it was worth. With only non lethals, one might add. Hopefully the Silver Jedi would show like restraint, and not go all out to use deadly force to kill him or try to Force Persuade him to stop.

Phalsi was lingering in the hall that housed the item in question, of which she had no real idea of the possibility of someone coming to snag it. It was an interesting piece, one she had incidentally found by combing the Silver Jedi Archives for anything neat. Curiosity had drawn her to come exam it as best she could, being limited by the security detail that was around it. While not allowed to hold the item in question, it was enough to be near it, and examine it from afar.

The woman had dyed her hair, going from the former silver color to a number of different colors being displayed against the now red over tone her hair had. The silver jedi fiddled with the new mask that was currently being worn, thankful she had made it fairly easy to take on and off as she zoomed in on the relic that was before her. It was handy, her face likely a very silly sight behind the mask as her features shifted slightly to manage the zoom function, taking in the small details and such as her hands were held behind her back.

She almost regretted getting the hud device, her initial experiences with it frustrating at trying to get one function and ending up in a help menu before long. With a bit of practice, and a lot of frustrated huffing and pacing, she had figured out the basic...gestures needed to fetch some functions. The woman's lightsabers were hidden in the folds of her robes, each single hand saber gently making themselves known as she leaned to one side. Their comfortable weight pressing against the clothing, and making her mindful of the button to activate them.

As he snuck through the facility that housed the bracers, Taji was in a bad mood. Why? He'd never wanted to do this in the first place but knew he needed those bracers. The ability to teleport was something he honestly needed. Until he figured out how to make a device that could do so, a Force Artifact capable of allowing him to do so was the next best thing in his opinion. Who knows, maybe he'd hoard Force Artifacts of various capabilities and use them to continue his "game" with Corpos. After all he despised those who lorded it over others like Corpos did. They needed to be taught a lesson but one man couldn't do it. Sure he'd messed with them before, but he'd been beaten. Upon getting to the area where the Jedi was guarding the place after restraining anyone he encountered without hurting them severely at all, Taji looked at her.

"I hate to do this to you, but I'm going to be taking those Bracers. So, you have 2 options:
1. You stand aside and let me do what I intend.
2. You interfere, and I subdue you without hurting you too severely. "

He paused. "But before we begin, " He took out a Hard Light Weapon from his Personal Storage unit. "Just so that we are both evenly equipped in the spirit of fairness," He tossed it to her. "Use this instead of your Lightsabers."

As Archer normally he was cocky and arrogant. This wasn't the time for such though. Today he was facing someone more experienced than the arrogant and incompetents of the world of Denon. Today he was facing a Jedi, possibly a Knight or a master.

"So, have you made your decision? Do I walk out of here with the Bracers or do we engage in Pugilism and then I walk out with the bracers?"

Phalsi had been fairly invested in examining the artifact, hearing something around her finally before turning to find someone standing before her, offering a weapon. She blinked, removing the front of the mask to get a better look at the person, gray blue eyes searching their face as they spoke. An eyebrow rose in question as the mask was replaced, the HUD coming back on in her mask as the filters where made to remain offline. The subtle motions of her face now hidden, she did a few twitches of her brow, snapping a picture of the person's face before speaking.

She took the Hard Light Weapon, looking it over before once more looking to them. "Can I ask why you need the bracers? Or maybe even who you are? I am Phalsi." Was an honest question and statement, as she had been here scientifically rather than for her own purpose of stealing it. A glance around her showed that this person was able to readily dispatch people without much trouble. Her own focus changed to her element, a light stirring of a gust around their feet began.

"As for my decision, that will remain to be seen." She did not engage the light weapon, instead simply placing herself in the path of the person but still had put her hands behind her back. A slight tilt of her head had her smiling behind the mask, but the cheery tone could be heard through the tone. "Wouldn't hurt a girl, right?"

 

[Taji Nelson]

Would he hit a girl? He had to think on that. He didn't want to become a monster. And yet he would genuinely need the bracers so he could study them and make a teleportation device. "My name is Taji Nelson. As to why I want the bracers they can allow the wielder teleportation. By studying them I can build a technology that allows teleportation. "

Taji sighed. He subtly channeled the force. Specifically wind formeed around his body should he need it. He was hoping he wasn't going to have to engage her. "As you stated whether or not I will hit you remains to be seen."

The information of his building a teleportation device made her mentally stumble. Her masked face tilted towards him, a thoughtful movement as she considered her options. Everyone was already incapacitated, and her hud displayed their status as still being well alive and breathing. Wasn't a terrible person it seemed, at least not on the surface.

"You are going to build a teleportation device?" It was a sound of disbelief, her face turning a brief moment at the bracers behind her before returning to Taji. "Using those?"

"If you are willing to share with someone, someone might step out of the way." There were a lot of uses for such an ability, and fair trade was a thing. She offered the choice up, her own allegiance a touch shaky as it was given her lack of melding with any large group of the Silver Jedi. And she could be making connections to further help herself...and the jedi. Naturally.

 

[Taji Nelson]

"Specifically I plan to study how they work, and learn how the Force teleports. After that, I plan to build a scientific reproduction that does not employ the energies of the Force," said Taji. Her offer was tempting, he had to admit. Ah, to heck with it. He'd take her up on it. "Very well, I shall share the secrets of teleportation with you once I've got them myself. " He paused as he thought of her offer. Her help would be useful in getting access to more and more powerful pieces of equipment. "But before I do that, you'll have to give me a sign of trust. Take off your mask, Lightsabers, Hard Light Weapon and any other weapons you have. Kick them over to me as a sign of trust. A sign you trust me not to harm you in the slightest."

Taji wasn't going to share his technology unless she did that. After all, he didn't want someone he couldn't trust on his team. She certainly wasn't the shoot first ask questions later type like the other Jedi guarding this item. For it to have so many guards meant he definitely needed to keep a close and personal eye on that. Maybe he could repurpose one of his Ravage Droids and upgrade it so it could guard the item for him.

She thought quietly for a moment, unhappy at the thought of being disarmed and at the mercy of someone else. Then again, had he knocked her out also, it would have been a similar scenario. Paired with his direct interest in the artifact rather than making off with everything else, it could have been a worse situation.

A heavy sigh came before she set the heavy light weapon on the ground before kicking it over his way. The lightsabers came next, setting them on the ground before using the force to float them over the ground before settling them next to the other weapon. "Those are single hand and have a hair trigger. Haven't got the hang of that finesse yet, and don't want them sliding with blades a going." She explained while moving them with a touch of a smile behind the mask.

The mask was the last part, hands moving up to take it off while a quick wink and knitting of the brow shut off the HUD to save battery life.

A button press, a quick hiss of release had the seal around her neck coming loose. A hooked finger and a slight grunt of annoyance had her pulling the mask off. Her hair was in a tight bun, her bland expression being exposed to him as she floated the mask over to the rest of the weapons. "Just made that. Light materials and touchy display. Not risking having to work on that again by kicking it." Her tone was a touch defensive in regard to the mask.

Her wrist went up, showing the item before taking it off and sliding it over. "Stun battery in that. Good for a surprise. Not much else. Other than that, just utilities." She remarked, frowning a bit and looking around.

"So there you go. Respect the research, and the lack of violence." She frowned again a little deeper this time. "So...yeah. Good luck I suppose with the research?"

 

[Taji Nelson]

Taji looked at her. He smiled. "You and I will work well together. You have taken the first step." Using the Force he made his face vosible by pulling back the hood of bis costume. "You have proven your trustworthiness. Therefore I will trust you with this." He tossed her a bottle of Energex. "A beverage I made to restore energy and help the sick."

"You may keep the Hard Light weapon. In the near future I will be making a faction. You have earned a position in it."

The reveal of his face had her arching a brow along with the mention of trusting her. Or at least earning his trust as she caught a bottle and gave it a quick glance. Something to restore energy and help the sick? Curious. The sudden intake of information was not staggering by any means, but processing it was making her give him a quizzical look paired with a half smile.

"Thanks? And I'll keep an ear out for you, or something..." Phalsi chuckled, moving towards the wall to take a seat before stopping and turning around. "Should I...I don't know, be locked in a closet or tied up or something?"

 

[Taji Nelson]

"I suppose I could do that if you want me to," said Taji as he looked at her after he put on the bracers once he'd liberated them. "Really I fail to see what is so dangerous of these. I've never subscribed to the theory of "dark side" or "lightside" of the Force. That just doesn't make sense to me to be honest." He then tossed her two clips. "If you ever wield material ammunition and don't want to kill use these." He stated, as he looked at her. "Something I've invented and will be mass marketing soon enough." He then pulled out his bow and arrow and fired a single green tipped arrow at the ceiling, leaving it embedded there with a note. "Archer Says Hello. Everyone is fine, they'll recover in a short amount of time. "

"That should be a sufficient message to your Silver Jedi compatriots. " He stated. Phalsi Drynchen
