Vynn had never seen anything quite like the robed figure before. It looked... old, even decrepit, and the parts that didn't look like aged flesh were cold metal. It'd had to literally detach itself from the terminal, which it had plugged its implants into like fingers plunged into a nerf pie. The smuggler couldn't decide if it was more corpse or more droid. Either way, it unnerved him, especially those mismatched, unblinking eyes. It was still possible that this thing was a Sith, but Vynn didn't see a lightsaber and hadn't been fried by Force lightning, so he was guessing it wasn't.
As he scanned the cavern, alert for the robed figure's backup, Vynn's question about the fate of the Jin'ha was unpleasantly answered.
For the second time that day he fought to keep his stomach down as he took in the field of mangled, twitching corpses leaking black fluid onto the cavern floor. It was a good thing he had time only for a glance before returning his attention to the figure before him, making sure whoever it was didn't have a chance to get under his guard. He thought about asking what the hell had been done to the aliens, but immediately decided he didn't want to know. The robed figure spouted some gibberish about ignorance and evolution, but Vynn was more concerned with the telltale play of green light around its body.
An energy shield. He wondered if a blaster shot would even hurt it. If not, it was really bad to be this close.
"Yeah, whatever, creepy. My rudimentary flesh wants out of this mine." Behind his breath mask, Vynn coughed, swallowing the rest of his smartass retort. His eyes were watering, too, and the red light on his hazard sensor was blinking more and more insistently. Were the fumes somehow getting worse? "Whatever you're doing," he said, raising the barrel of his blaster to head level, "stop. I need your terminal for two seconds to find the nearest kriffing exit, and then I'll fumble right out of your way so you can go back to playing with dead people." He gestured toward the wall with the blaster, hoping the strange being would comply.
If not, he had a feeling he was in for a hell of a time.
