Reunions and Revelations (PM for invite unless tagged)

[Celiana]

My alarm was going off and I hit the button to silence it. I'd been back and forth between Coruscant and Voss recently and I felt exhausted. I'd also been thinking more and more about Master Roberts...I missed her flair for the dramatic and all. Much had transpired recently and I needed old friends. I'd gotten a call from Zara last night about a Jedi Master having arrived and set up camp in the club where she worked out of. When I'd asked her the Masters name she'd said Karen Roberts. That'd been all it took for me to plot a course to Triple Zero and go see what my old Master had been up to...

Now that I was awake at least partially I went into my bathroom and got a quick shower before drying off and getting suited up. Pulling on my Echani training gear I pulled on my boots and went into my armory and strapped on my right Beskar hidden blade gauntlet and my left healing bracer which I wrapped in emerald green cloth. Fastening the Beskar breastplate over my chest and the leg plates as well I slid my sabers into place along the magnetic armor points along my ribs and then clipped the saber I'd recently been gifted on Eshan to my right hip.

Pulling on my plain mocha colored Jedi robe over the armor I walked towards the cockpit and programmed The Cherry Blossom to descend and land at Zara's personal place which just happened to be several levels up and several blocks from where she actually worked. Sending a quick message to Zara I said, "Zara if you can keep Master Roberts there for a bit I'm in town again for a bit."

I'd changed quite a bit since my brief time with Master Roberts... For one I hadn't had the tattoos or piercings for that matter. Then again I'd also not been possesed by an ancient Sith Lord either. Hopefully Master Roberts would still remember me... I felt my ship touch down and as I exited I made sure that everything was locked up. Then stepping out towards the edge of the landing pad I jumped and traveled the eight levels down in seconds before landing softly on my feet having cushioned the fall with The Force. Pulling my hood over my face I began making my way towards the Nexus Nightclub, hotel, and restaurant.

Well this would be one heck of a reunion...

A woman in black stood at the window.

A great, and wide, and all-encompassing window. Curving outward to grasp all of the city skylights in it's vision. With not even the softest reflection of this mysterious woman in it's cool glass. She remained. A statue to the stars. Her long black trench coat(1) brushed against the ground. Her shoulders wrapped in fluffy dark cashmeer. The black voidless light of her battle helm pointed outwards towards the night. With no face to show the stars. No. This was a woman swaddled up in power and in grace. Standing at the window. Wishing. Waiting. Watching the city go by.

Across the glamorous room and nearer the door, a Selphi male in a long magi cloak approached.

"Ma'am. She is here."

"I see. ...Very well Kai. Send her up. Then leave us."

"As you command, My Lady."

He gave a soft bow and moved to the door. Touching the intercom the tall elfin male nodded to the party downstairs. Relaying the message with only the softest whisper. Surely. [member="Celiana"] would arrive to the hotel suite shortly. Meanwhile. A woman all garbed in power and in black remained at the window. Waiting. Wishing.

Watching the city go by.

 

[Celiana]

I pushed open the door to the Nexus lounge, and felt Master Roberts' presence. Checking in with the guest registry I was notified that Master Roberts waited upstairs. Without any further delay I headed upstairs to the hotel section of The Nexus club and continued following the presence I'd felt. It seemed like forever since I'd seen Master Roberts...last time we'd not parted on good terms. I'd still been a padawan but not knowing how things had worked I crossed a line.

As I made my way up the stairs I wondered if Master Gan still had a thing for dark trench-coats. I remembered the first time I'd met Master Roberts and how utterly alien she'd felt and beautiful she'd looked to me. Gahh! Quite a few things had changed since then...Looking up I saw a lad with elfin features simply pointed to a room and waling over I knocked gently before opening the door. There she was, same flair for dark trenchcoats...

Shutting the door I said, "Master, good to see you again...." I didn't need to say I've missed you or anything else she could read my emotions easily enough and I just wanted to enjoy this for a moment....

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Two gloved hands reached up and pulled off her midnight black helm. Unpinning her long brown hair and letting it fall easily upon her luscious cashmeer shoulders. Then she turned around slowly and spoke in a casual flirtatious tone.

"Ah. Hello Celiana."

Karen Roberts of Sullust stood strong and tall before her. Like an artist's statue wrapped up in all black glamour. Surrounded with it's back to the endless vistas of Coruscant. Karen did not bow and she did not blush. Though, in all good truth. This reunion was somewhat unexpected. She had not come to Coruscant to make up for lost students.

"Zara told me that you wanted to see me. So I decided to wait for just a moment until your ship had arrived. Well then. Here you are. ...Mm. How might I assist you, my dear?"

She placed her black helmet underneath one arm and waited for [member="Celiana"] to indulge her curiosity.

 

[Celiana]

Smiling slightly at Master Roberts....peacock like display I said, "Still a flair for trenchcoats and the dramatic I see Master. As for Zara, well she likes to drink but she looks out for me and I've asked her to keep an eye out for and take good care of Jedi who come through. In all honesty though I'm here for a job and since Zara mentioned a Master Roberts was here I figured it might be a good chance to catch up and work together." Pausing for a few moments I gathered my thoughts before speaking or acting again.

As I'd been speaking I'd been moving toward her until I'd closed the distance. Then I hugged her and said, "Also I missed you Master." Backing away after the hug I said, "When I left things were...difficult for me. More so since I got possessed by a Sith Lord recently. As to the job I'm here in an unofficial capacity to break up a known slaving ring. I'm a bit more...invested in these kind of issues than perhaps I should be but as a Jedi we're called to serve others and protect in any way we can. So here we are...If you don't mind my asking Master, what brings you to Triple Zero?"

Leaning agaisnt the wall I waited for her response. Hopefully I hadn't crossed a boundary with that hug...

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Karen was surprised, yes, but not un-affectionate. It was obvious Dryven had missed her. And, from the sound of her recent adventures? Well, yeah. She could probably use a hug.

"Oh. Thank you. It's good to see you too. Mm."

It was an awkward moment. Sure. But not because of their past or because Karen hated hugs. But rather, because Jedi Operators never hugged each other. They bowed, or shook hands, or gave a telepathic salute. It was all very military and blah blah blah. The usual.

So Karen attempted to move on casually by simply brushing her hair aside. Jump right back into business.

"Well. I'm glad to hear you're keeping busy. ...Ahem. I myself am here assisting Master Kai Huran of the White Circle. They are a Force Sensitive Cult with strong ties to the Selphi peoples here on Coruscant. It's... Simply a diplomatic mission, I assure you. Nothing immediately pressing."

In truth, [member="Celiana"] 's fascination for stopping slavers at any personal cost was a firm reminder of another long-lost Jedi Knight she knew. Joshua Dragonsflame. And Karen couldn't help but wonder if the two would make a great team. Josh and Celiana. Mmm. It had a nice ring to it.

"But here now. Let us put my lay business aside for now. You mentioned that we should work together? Interesting. Well. Perhaps I can aide you? Perhaps not. I suppose that all depends on your mission. Doesn't it?"

Karen shrugged and turned to eye the cabinet in the corner.

"What exactly would you have me assist you with? I'm not sure I follow your train of thought."

 

[Celiana]

I had a knack for catching glimpses of thought and catching a few of Master Roberts was...amusing. Smiling I said, "I see I've reminded you of someone Master. Perhaps Master DragonsFlame? I could see that and after sparring with him and working with him previously I can see the thought process. Though my history seems to show I much prefer a female Master like you or my current Master, Rasu Gan. As to what my mission entails... You know a bit of my history but inter-species traffickers were associates of my father's and my information from Zara indicates there is a rather large gathering of said traffickers meeting tonight down on level 1313 for the seeling and buying of young women of various species..."

Pausing momentarily I continued. "These people will be armed and I'd rather not take them all on alone. My goal is to free the trafficked girls, ground these slavers' ships and leave them a tad trussed up for the authorities. How we do so is entirely open for discussion though I was planning on either setting off controlled charges to disable their vehicles or simply severing the power conduits with our sabers. Everything is open for debate on how though..."

I worried that Master Gan may find my tactics a tad too...aggressive. But as far as I was concerned those girls could have been me...I was determined to not allow these slavers to continue their business. That and ground their operation, permanently. Removing the hard look from my eyes I turned to glance at Master Roberts and asked her, "Master if you haven't had lunch yet then perhaps lunch to discuss this more? I'm curious what you've been up to since we parted ways on Voss..."

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Karen balked at the thought of [member="Celiana"] reading her surface thoughts. Bah! Nobody had done that to her since Tython. Ten years ago. Ugh. Gorrum resbians... No. Nevermind. Karen would simply have to cast a Doe Charm to keep Drayven from doing that again. And old Dathomiri trick.

Which, she subtly did with just a twist of her fingers.

"Tsk tsk dear. Lunch sounds wonderful but I'm afraid I don't have much time to spare today. And, truthfully. Neither do you. Especially if the slaver meeting you are describing is already set for tonight. Good grief."

Karen pursed her lips to think. Then decided.

"Very well. I have decided to help you. ...To begin. Why not ask Zara for some assistance?"

She shrugged and shifted her helmet,

"After all. I'm sure she knows at least a dozen bounty hunters who would be glad to assist in your operation tonight. For the right price you could have a whole fireteam assembled to assist you. Mmm. Yummy. That might just even the odds."

Midvinter Viking Rule #1. Never raid alone.

 

[Celiana]

Zara, Master Roberts, and myself working together? Oh by The Force! Well this was a bad idea but kark it, why not? Smiling I looked at Master Roberts and said, "As long as you don't mind an openly bisexual Mandalorian with a penchant for drinks and getting frisky I suppose that's not a bad idea.." Contemplating the whole fire team I said, "As for the whole fireteam and yummy amounts of ordinance...Between Zara, myself, and you I think we'll have all the firepower we'll need. Especially since she just got some new toys in yesterday. Tell me Master, do you enjoy using DC-17 rifles, Verpine rifles, and or copious amounts of explosives?"

I'd had a large portion of my gear stored here in Zara's shop. Verpine rifles, DC-17m rifles, and several crates of various grenades and explosive devices... All the really good party tricks not to mention a few...exotic weapons. We'd probably grab lunch and eat on the way to the meeting place. Things were coming together and shooting Zara a quick message I told her to meet me at her shop beneath Nexus. Odds were that Zara would either come in and flirt with Master Roberts or just openly flirt with me. The odds of both were quite high actually and I hoped that if Zara decided to be frisky with me she'd keep it to a minimum...

Glancing at Master Roberts I said, "if you'll follow me Master we'll head to the meeting spot with Zara now...."

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Karen raised an eyebrow and quickly shook her head. [member="Celiana"] was thinking exactly like a Mandalorian Crusader now. Goodness.

"Now now. I'll be down in just a moment dear. Master Huran and I have unfinished business to discuss and I've already kept him waiting for far too long anyway. Mmm."

And with a flourish of her wrist, Karen turned back to the window and gathered her hair back in place. Slipping her helm back on and closing the seal. Snap.

"Do what you must Drayven. I'll be along in an hour or two. Zara has my number if you two need to reach me in the meantime. Ta ta dear."

No. This audience was over.

The door behind Celiana opened again and the Selphi mage showed himself back into the room. Holding the door open so that Drayven might make her exit. Well. No doubt. Zara would be waiting downstairs already.

 

[Celiana]

Smiling I bowed inclining my head slightly before darting over and giving Master Roberts a peck on the cheek of her armored helmet. With that I darted back away and exited out the door. Walking back down the stairs I sent Zara a message and said heading down to the shop now. Make sure there's food please. Stepping over to the wall by the stairs I placed my hand against a bioscanner and a hidden door revealed itself and opened. Stepping through the door I descended into Zara's shop and smiled as I smelled a Big Belly burger a Black and Blue to be precise...Zara stepped around the corner and jumping up wrapped her legs around my waist and gave me a deeply passionate kiss before pulling back away and stepping down.

"Mmmmm that was very nice. Hello to you too Zara and a big Belly Burger no less...You're just trying to get me to rip you clothes off aren't you?" Smiling Zara said, "well you know I love a good fight and good food." Leaning in she said, "I love you more though." Then she gave my ass a light slap and a firm squeeze. Sighing I said, "At least try to behave yourself when Master Roberts shows up." Grabbing the burger I dug in and waited for Master Roberts to rejoin us...

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Roberts joined the other women downstairs in just over an hour. Her mage friend had left the hotel to attend to business elsewhere. Finally allowing her a moment to breath.

Once again she removed her helm,

"I see we're all gathered together now. Excellent."

Karen dropped her heavy helm onto the workbench nearer the door. Thud.

"Okay [member="Celiana"] . This is your show. What's the plan?"

Karen had met Zara earlier, so introductions would not be necessary. The could proceed straight to business.

 

[Celiana]

I was finishing my burger and Zara had decided to take up residence in my lap when Master Roberts entered the shop. Swallowing my food as Master Roberts asked what the plan was I said, "Well as I said earlier Master in order to prevent these slavers from escaping I want to disabled their vehicles which we'll be able to do with anything in the boxes my feet are currently on. All sorts of grenades fragmentation, ion, incendiary, cryo, riot control and so on. Zara is going to rig up a few Ion pulse charges to disable their vehicles along with wiring the ignitions of those ships to several incediary charges attached to fuel canisters. If the ships do begin taking off...well we'll have our own fireworks show."

Zara looked at me and said, "Mmmm I love it when you talk dirty Celiana..." Swatting her shoulder I continued. "Zara will be on overwatch with one of my personal favorite toys a Verpine sniper rifle. We'll wait until the auction for buying slaves begins to make our move as then the slavers will be too involved in that to notice us liberating the slaves. If we are caught though which is likely with as much security as they'll have then we bring out the toys. Speaking of which..." Turning I lifted a crate onto the table and popped the lid. "DC-17m rifles. We'll each have one going in and they come with a sniper and anti-armor attachements hence the grenades under the table." Pulling one out I handed it to Master Roberts before dumping an armful of spare power packs on the table.

Smiling at Master Roberts I said, "sound like a plan?"

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Karen nodded. Everything seemed in place.

"That sounds fine. I know some people who can help the slaves find a work home too. All we'll need to do is get the slaves to the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. The GA can take them from there."

Robert's leaned her hips against the workbench and nodded in thought. One last thing.

"Do we know how many slaves we'll be taking in? Just a soft number. As... Transport might be a problem. We'll need a ship to get them all the way to the Jedi Temple. Something that can hold everybody, ya know."

Karen flew X-Wings. A terrible craft for rescuing slaves as, they only hold one person. If they were going to be relocating slaves? They were gonna need a bigger ship. Hmm. Maybe Zara knew a few smugglers.

"Oh. And one more thing Celiana..."

Roberts pointed to the lip marks on her perfectly polished helm. Tsk tsk.

"No more tokens of affection, dear. Save all the touch'y-feel'y stuff for our dear Zara here. Yes. The relationship between us is simply military from this point on. Nothing fancy. Nothing soft. That's how this works. Savvy?"

She laughed. But only on the outside.

[member="Celiana"]

 

[Celiana]

I listened and said, "well I've got my ships that could be used as transports. One is a Dynamic Class Freighter the other a combat dropship that can hold about 20 people. So between the dropship and my freighter we could probably do around 60 girls give or take a few" Then Master Roberts pointed at her helm and said no more tokens of affection and no more touchy feely stuff. Flushing a bright shade of pink my face fell and I began to study every sing dust particle on the shop floor. I said, "Aye Master. Understood loud and clear." I grabbed my own DC-17m rifle and a belt bandolier and dragged a crate of grenades over towards the opposite side of the shop where I began loading a various spread of different grenades into place on the bandolier. After that was done I began breaking down my DC-17 and my Verpine rifle loosing myself in the numbing, mechanical task...

I heard Zara get up and saw here walk over towards Master Roberts and had time to think Oh by The Force! before falling back to my task...

"Master Roberts. A word if you please." I'd seen the look Celiana had given the floor and I knew those emotions well... Grabbing this Je'tii by the elbow I roughly steered her out of earshot before cornering her. "Listen Jetii, I don't know what history you and Celiana have but she cares for you. Deeply. I've been asked many things in my brief time on Coruscant but I've never heard someone talk with such reverance. I was asked to give you every respect due one of the Mando'ade. Her words, not mine and I care for her. I know her well enough to know that if you were the one being fired at she'd jump in front of the round rather than see harm come to you. Jedi keep their emotions in check...Bah! No one ever said they were cold. Keep a mind open to others emotions perhaps Jetii." With that I released her and stalked the short distance back into the shop.

I saw the look on Zara's face as she stalked back into the shop and thought oh no... I knew Zara cared for me and loved me but I didn't want Master Roberts to think I put Zara up to any of whatever Zara had done. I finished re-assembing both the DC-17 and the Verpine rifle then I closed my eyes and began to meditate as Master Roberts had taught me to. Loosing myself in the currents of The Force I focused on Master Rasu. Then I saw her meditating before she rose and went about cooking herself breakfast. I could feel her heartbeat and again I found myself wondering had I only imagined her interest in me. I was her padawan but I felt a deeper connectionthan that beginning to bloom. Breathing in and then out again I lost myself in The Force while I could...

[member="Karen Roberts"]

OOC: I was trying to go for the whole concerned lover thing with Zara so don't be mad at Celiana plz?

 

[Jsc]

A bounty hunter took the moment to lecture a Master. Something Karen found rather amusing. If only mildly offensive. Still? Maybe she had a point. For all of [member="Celiana"] 's bluster about guns, and grenades, and liberating slaves. Well. She was still just a little girl inside. A very very young woman. Filled with drama, and fantasies, and emotional insecurities too. Wanting love, and friends, and happy memories too. No. There was nothing wrong with that. That was a good thing. Karen could feel all of those things too, some days. Even after decades of war. Karen might still have a little empathy left in her too. Mmm. Yes.

Maybe it was time to finally have that 'talk'.

...

"Thank you Zara. I suppose I could try to do that. Mm."

Karen scooped up her helmet and walked over to Drayven.

"Celiana. Pardon the interruption dear. But. I suppose I owe you an apology."

She set her helm down and pulled up a stool nearby.

"Did you know I attended all of my mens funeral's after the battle of Coruscant more than a decade ago? ...Thousands of them, that. During the battle, I had been in command of the Watts-Class Star Destroyer Toleme's Hammer. We were tasked with the job of holding the airspace over the Jedi Temple during the Invasion. I was the Captain. And, I lost all of my fighter squadrons and hundreds of my shipmates that day. Thousands upon thousands died. Our ship burned. Coruscant fell. And. A large part of our failure that day was because I wasn't strong enough to stop it. ...I lost Coruscant. I lost thousands of friends. In so many ways. It was my fault."

Sadness. Now it was Karen's turn to pause and admire the dust on the floor. Oh. How she still felt that day. So, so long ago.

"You know. I resolved after that day to never be so weak again. I learned to put aside my emotions and to become the best soldier I could ever be. Even my husband noticed the difference. I became steel. I became a mountain. I became unstoppable. For the next decade of war and death. I never let my emotions get in the way of my duty. And. In the years that followed I killed hundreds of Sith, demons, spirits, lords, soldiers, gods, and even innocent people. Many many innocent people. Yes. In may ways, I've done it all. Both good. And bad. ...And I'm not the same for it."

"Celiana. I am not the Jedi Master you think I am. Nor, probably the friend that you need right now. So again. I'd like to apologize. I was too rough with you. Both in your training and now here, now. So... I'm sorry. I hope that you can forgive an old war dog and her gruff military ways. And... In a way. I hope that you can accept that I am the way I am because of years of war, chaos, torture, and death. So, so much death. From watching those people who serve underneath me die. Even thousands of names and faces that are dear to me. Friends. This is just who I am. This is just what the world has made me."

Karen touched her helm again. It too. Was just another blood-stained trophy. From just another galactic war. Where many friends died.

"I'm sorry Celiana. I really do wish you the world. Just. Give me some time. Please."

 

[Celiana]

Master Roberts pulled up a stool besides me and I had time to glare at Zara before she began speaking. Listening to Master Roberts speak was...eye-opening. I knew she wasn't just cold but now I could understand why she was. As she finished I against my better judgement gave her a brief hug then pulled away. "Master, I forgive you. In many ways I think the code is flawed as it tends to do this to people. Make them cold due to following rules and tennants. I've not ever seen friends die Master but I've seen what grief and anger can do. Aria....Aria cut down her birth-parents after her village was burned. Her foster-parents dead due to cultists. I arrived and we found each other. I mentioned being possessed by a Sith Lord....it was Darth Traya. I was conscious of what I was being made to do I toyed with her, used The Force to lift her from the ground and choke her it filled her with further fear and despair. I was made to watch it all Master and yet...I knew it wasn't me. I knew I wasn't responsible for that. Then with the help of others and my own inner strength Traya was gone."

"Master I'm aware I'm still just a padawan but sometimes things go south. Sometimes there's nothing you can do but the choices you have in that particular moment. Sometimes it makes you want to close yourself off... Don't do that. Allow those things to pass over and through you when all is said and done you'll still be here Master. I....had to come to terms with the things I'd done even if I was possessed. I sought out the young woman I'd hurt and she forgave me Master. I then had to forgive myself....still working on that... Though I'd recommend getting rid of that helm. It hides who you really are Master it makes you...darker. You could hide all day beneath that helm and it'd still be there. All the pain, fear, anger and whatever else. But I know that's not really you. The Karen Roberts who trained me on Voss. who was caring, kind, and compassionate while still being firm and tough. That's who you are Master and honestly the helm is a cracked shield you can hide behind. Plus...you're way too pretty not to show your face Master."

Hugging her again I said, "take what time you need Master but don't hide from it." Then I backed away hopefully the hugs hadn't crossed a line but sometimes all one needed was a hug and forgiveness. I noticed Zara looking over at me and saw her give me a simple nod before mouthing the words this is why I love you. My face flushed pink and tears were streaming down my face at the new development between Master Roberts and myself...

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Well. It was a step in the right direction anyway.

Karen enjoyed the hugs and smiled when [member="Celiana"] mentioned that the helm was 'too dark'. Ha. Excellent! That was exactly the fashion-souls sense she was going for. What a Peacock.

"Thank you Celiana. And thank you Zara. It's nice to know that even after all these years of war, there are still people you can talk to. I appreciate it."

Then she stood back up and slung her magestic black helm under her arm. Already anxious for another drag-out, no-holds-barred sword fight.

"Well. No sense waiting now. We've got some slavers to smash. Hehe."

...

Karen's writer should also probably note at this time. That, Roberts actually hated wearing helmets. However. She had also been shot in the head three times, blown into space twice, gas grenaded a dozen times, and she had also crashed her X-Wings far too many times to count. So yes. Her life being saved in every instance thanks only to wearing a vac-sealed Phrik helmet.

So. While helmets were obviously a Hollywood burden to the camera. They were also a PvP necessity. In every condition.

 

[Celiana]

Smiling as Master Roberts mentioned smashing slavers I slung the bandolier of grenades over my shoulder and even though I'd lectured my former master on wearing helmets I unclipped my Mandalorian helm from my belt. The hiding the pain and everything else was what I'd been referring to because I'd been yet to have gone somewhere without having a wannabe take a shot at taking out a Mandalorian. Placing the DC-17m rifle against the outside of the right beskar thighplate I heard the magnetic clasp lock the weapon in place. Grabbing a handful of the power packs I placed them against the belt on my waist and heard them click into place on the magnetic points lining my belt.

Looking towards Master Roberts I said, "as to the helm Master I meant that while necessary you shouldn't hide the pain and everything else behind it. Of course if it keeps you in one piece I approve." With that I looked towards Zara and with a short nod I pulled on my Mandalorian helm the ink black and gold trimmings both etched with Echani minimalist vinework. As I pulled on my helmet the ghostly blue glow of the HUD came to life in front of my eyes while I knew that the hellish maroon red of the t-slit visor came to life with a glow. Almost as if snarling defiance to everyone else.

I noticed Zara had pulled on her armor and helm as well. Walking over towards me she waited and I knocked my helm against hers. A Keldabe kiss. Mandalorians tended to be fierce in every aspect including show their love for another.Grabbing my Verpine rifle I handed it to Zara before pulling the hood of my robe up over my helm. I glanced towards Master Roberts and walked out the rear exit of Zara's shop taking what was left of my dinner with me in the bag. A mostly uneaten burger and untouched fries...If I was going down into 1313 again I'd make a difference however I could. Hopping in Zara's newest speeder I waited for Zara and Master Roberts to join me. I was keen on taking the fast way down to 1300 from there we'd take the lift the last levels down...

[member="Karen Roberts"]

 

[Jsc]

Karen smirked at the two love-birds. Err... Sorry. The two slaver-smashing, mando-ironed, blood-hawks is more like it. Heh. Nice.

"I'll meet you two there. My ride is an X-Wing and R2 should have parked it just a little ways from the hotel. I'll come in from the skylights and meet you at the Nav point. Cheers."

Roberts pinned her hair and secured her helm. It was party time.

* * * * *​

Coruscant Level 1313

Karen parked in The Fens. A eviscerated and quiet scrapyard. Nobody went there and nothing moved within it's walls. Ah yes. It was the perfect place to hide your prototype military jet-fighter. Right in the middle of nowhere.

"Lock her up R2. I'll see you soon."

~ Donk donk ~

Roberts attached her twin swords belt over her bahooty and grabbed her disruptor carbine. Finishing off the special feature with a generic shield belt from the GA armory. Bingo. All set.

"Okay. Now to the Nav point. All bet Zara and Celiana are already there."

She set off into the dark reaches of 1313. Reminding herself that all the way down here...

Anything goes.
