[Darth Hashira]

MISSION:

Spoiler

A distress call from the Genesis Institutehttp://starwarsrp.net/topic/106697-the-genesis-institute/ - A recent experiment has gone awry, and the researchers are calling for help containing an escaped subject. When you arrive, there is no answer at the doors to the facility and the power seems to have been cut. Who, or what, is alive inside is a mystery

The ramp to the shuttle carrying Darth Hashira and [member="Ela Saako"] hissed as it was deployed. Hashira had very little time to get to know the Neimoidian, only asking her preliminary questions about her interests, abilities and aspirations. He looked over the data file he briefly skimmed over during the journey to the world of Bastion while aboard the Imperial Courier shuttle. The flight had been eventless, Hashira remaining in his personal quarters, only emerging when the landing gear had been deployed and the ''all clear'' signal given.

He stepped out onto the cold durasteel platform, directly in front of him was dormant the Genesis Institute laboratory. It was a large durasteel door, reinforced with beskar supports. Hashia studded it for a moment. Suddenly, an obviously distressed man holding a data pad approached Hashira. He was a tall Nikto missing his left arm, a metallic one in it's place. He spoke to Hashira as soon as he was within earshot.

''Lord Hashira.'' he bowed. ''The distress signal has ended but that's because the power has been cut to the facility. We don't know for sure why though, our guess is a defect with the generators perhaps due to prolonged use. We need power to be reestablished so we can get in.''

Hashira nodded, gesturing for the acolyte to hook up a power cable from the ship to the main door...

 

[Ela Saako]

Saako would promptly comply, immediately moving over to a power cable and pulling it over to the facility. When she had difficulty, she would motion for an Imperial trooper to assist her. The cable would be online promptly. She would then turn to the man Darth Hashira was talking to.

"Sir, would you have a plan of the building? It would be of much use to me and Lord Hashira."

[Lord Vittor]

Lord Vittor was in his ship in neutral space outside of Bastion with the ship idling. he sat knelt in the middle of the hold with his hands on his lap and his lightsaber before him. he was meditating deeply on the force and the dark side, striving to reach deeper understanding of the void. His meditation was interrupted by the ship communicator alerting him of a priority message.

He opened his eyes and stood quickly, picking up his lightsaber and attaching it to his belt. he moved to the holo-communicator and activated the priority message from the Dark Lord himself. the message told him to go immediately to Bastion to an Island officially uncharted. He was to go to the facility there and help Darth Hashira and the Acolyte with him to investigate the site and subdue the escaped subject inside.

The message included coordinates which he immediately entered into his ships computer and directed the ship down to the planet surface. he directed the ship carefully to its destination and soon had the island in sight. he found the landing pad and saw the other ship already there with the Darth and the Acolyte already on the scene. he touched down beside their shuttle and prepared himself to exit his craft.

He slid a small hand blaster into his boot as part of his preparation. He put on a pair of gloved gauntlets and made sure his short lightsaber was in easy reach. he put on his black robes and put up his hood as a completion of his preparations. he moved to the opening of his ship and lowered the ramp.

He walked down the ramp and paused at the bottom, taking in the situation. His eyes were sharp and calculating as he took in all the details of the scene. his face was impassive as he left his ship and the ramp closed behind him. He approached the people congregating on the landing pad, his cloak billowing in the sea breeze. Lord Vittor addressed Darth Hashira as the Darth was his superior, "Our Dark Lord has sent me to aid you in your investigation. the situation must be of grave concern to his eminence if it requires our combined attention."

[Darth Hashira]

Hashira watched the acolyte squirm and struggle with the power cable and he became angered at her lack of ability. She finally relented and requested the aid of a bodyguard accompanying them. The bodyguard quickly connected the cord. Hashira began to speak up but was interrupted by the acolyte.

"Sir, would you have a plan of the building? It would be of much use to me and Lord Hashira." [member="Ela Saako"] asked.

''Hush, acolyte! I am in charge of this mission, your job is to stand at my beckon and call. We already have the layout of the facility! Perhaps if you would not rush headlong into situations you might be of some use. And if you are so incompetent or weak that you can't manage to connect a simple power cable, you have no place inside of The Sith Empire.'' Hashira verbally assault his acolyte, unleashing several layers of pent-up rage. He began to speak to the Nikto but was interrupted by the arrival of [member="Lord Vittor"].

"Our Dark Lord has sent me to aid you in your investigation. the situation must be of grave concern to his eminence if it requires our combined attention."

''It is of not such grave concern that I can not handle it myself!!!'' he screamed at Vitor, his sharp fangs flashing.

''Follow me.'' he flung the doors to the laboratory open and stormed off inside, into the darkness...

 

[Lord Vittor]

Vittor was completely unfazed by Darth Hashira's outburst, but made a mental note at the irritible mood of the Darth. with a glance at the acolyte and the guards standing around he calmly followed Hashira through the doors to the facility. he took long strides to catch up with Hashira in order to make another attempt to cooperate with the Darth and coordinate their approach into the facility.

His mind was already coming up with plans and approaches to the situations and which things are to be prioritized first to bring about a quick success to the mission. As soon as they entered the darkened facility he felt it prudent to keep communication to a minimum volume. as he comes up in stride with Hashira he whispers his suggestions in what he calculated was a sufficiently subservient manner and tone to reduce the ire of Darth Hashira.

"I suggest it would be prudent to attempt to restore power to the facility first and foremost... once that is accomplished it may be possible to use Satia's office to monitor and coordinate our investigation, if security cameras were a feature in this facility. only if there is any among your retinue who could perform such a duty... however... I demure to your authority to approve this idea, my Lord."

As he walked and whispered he extended his senses out in front of and around them into the darkness, wary for anything alive or moving nearby.

Saako seemed completely unconcerned about the Dark Lord's outburst. Years if not decades of verbal, emotional and physical abuse in the hatcheries of Cato Neimoidia at the hands of incompetent, aristocratic superiors had completely hardened her heart with regards to these kinds of tirades. Given the fact Hashira was an actually competent person who seemed very clearly in control, she clearly saw it as a learning experience. She had to develop her strength, very clearly her biggest weakness.

As the party entered the facility, she followed suit without a single word, walking behind both Hashira and the operative.
