Private Shopping for a Pet

[Sicarius Hekate]

Sicarius was excited, she had found a one of a kind beast. One who could launch her research decades, or be a personal prize to be the envy of other Sith everywhere. She had first heard about it during reports on Barkhesh and Kiffu. Apparently a giant monster had disrupted the battle in addition to which it had shown some impressive displays of abilities.

Sicarius wasn't sure how much she believed of the reports. It's size was surely exaggerated. Fog of war made even large beast look larger still. Even so a monster of an impressive size was none the less something to be desired, captured and studied. Sicarius would prefer it to be taken alive of course and had insisted on the squad and shuttle craft being outfitted with stun weapons, blaster, tranquilizers and sonic just in case. Between the three it should be enough to bring the beast down.

Scarius turned to her squad of stormtroopers.

"Listen up just because I have this stupid thing on my neck" Sicarius gestured to the bomb collar that was supposed to keep her in line and a prisoner of the Empire. "Don't think for a moment I won't kill any one of you at the first sign of disloyalty or cowardice. Remember rules of engagement are to capture not kill. I want this thing alive it could be a huge asset to my- to the Empire's resources."

The stormtroopers nodded in a disciplined fashion. They may not like being here but they would follow orders. Unless of course their orders were to kill her and dump her here. Sicarius was briefly perplexed at the thought that shook it away. She was too important for the Empire's experiments besides it was too... straightforward for Velran.

"Approaching atmosphere now" came the pilots voice.

The humongous fluffy bug was chilling as usual, on the lands of mirial, curled up in a giant ball snoozing as the warm afternoon sun shone upon it. Even in its slumber, it absorbed the force around, feeding on it till it became negative. Until it woke to the loud whirling of a large aircraft making its descent into the atmosphere.

The gigantic creature was not happy with being awoken by such an inconsiderate intrusion. Worse yet, the craft was nearing its way, intruding on its territory. The 301 feet tall monster stood, an irritated roar it let out. The ground shook at it took giant waddles in the direction of the ship.

Sicarius waited as they broke the atmosphere. Her jaw dropped she was astonished by the size of the thing. A few of the stormtroopers on the squad made exclamations as well.

"We can't take that!"

Sicarius turned on the man

"Silence! One more voice of cowardice and I will cut you down!"

Sicarius thought quickly as she considered her options.

"The Plan remains the same we hit it with everything we have, we'll worry about transport later. Once we bring it down we can call in for reinforcements or find some other means of transport."

There was a stunned silence. Sicarius hissed.

"I will execute each and last one of you where you stand!"

Sicarius turned

"On my command….. Open fire!"

The air split as sonic, electric and tranquilizer light canon darts aimed towards the creature. Sicarius prayed it was enough to bring the beast down.
