The 1st Letter. (Darth Erebos)

[Mythos]

Location: The Cortan Blade Cockpit. Muunilinst

Mythos could not remember the last time he had been in the planet of Galicus, it must have been at least a decade ago with his father's many trips. RIght now he was orbiting through the capital undetected and unscanned with the Cortan Blade zipping and dashing through the Beautiful City in the Ship. Mythos had a companion in this "Mission". [member="Darth Erebos"] his friend of long time and apparently the new addition to the 'Redletter Club'.
It was a very small group of Assassins which most have died or retired made by Galicus, in this time, Only Mythos and Erebos remain with the tradition.

Erebos had received a small Letter bathed in red ink with the Sign of the Sagious family, inside there was a name and an explanation via Holomessage that then destroyed. Mythos had no clue, for his own safety of the exact details of the mission but he knew the basics of how these things went down. He had earned his Redletter club membership before his Entry into the Sith, His Parents had been one of the few Names he had received. All the Assassinations had a specific requirement that had to be met, this one was subtlety, Galicus had made it very clear that the death of Aluphim Mardaan, head of the Mardaan clan must seem like a casualty and or Accident, there could be no Mistakes.

Locations and Details to his Home and place of work as well was told via holomessage only to Erebos. Mythos dropped off at the Location of the Main Center of the City and Dropped behind a shadowy street corner plopped open the Blade's Ramp door to let Erebos out.

"Alright T'zanith, i will be in my Com with limited frequency to you alone, You will tell me your extraction point. Good Luck" Mythos sat back in his cockpit now, levitating with the Cortan Blade and Switching to Monothermal Thruster Temperature. Nothing could spot the blade now save for someone slamming into the invisible monstrosity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Aluphim was annoyed and bored as usual... his Life had been a monotonous wheel of never ending business prattle and economic talks that were not only endless but fruitless. The Mardaan Banking quarters were now filled with a Score of High Class Muuns who were twice as young as Aluphim and Twice as Inexperienced making his frustrations even more exhausting. For the last few months Aluphim had lead a one man army campaign against the rapid expansion of the Capitalist Sagious Mentality that was buying up all stock and Licences in his Ore and Mining trade. Aluphim had succeeded in driving back the Sagious buyout by simply doing the Same with the Old Muun Galicus' estates. Suddenly the strategy seemed to work as the Sagious were forced to divert their funds to re-buy the Estates and effectively halting the Expansions. Aluphim was an equally old Muun as Galicus and their Rivalry went back Decades to their Youth in the Banking Clan pecking order. The Day was turning Late and his Business meeting was concluded as each and every single one of the Young Muuns who excitedly joined up and funded his Campaign were leaving.
"Thank you all for your support and Funding" His Voice high toned and Raspy as ever, the Old Muun bowed to his guests before leaving. "I will be heading back to my Estate now unless i receive any more meeting this day which i doubt. Are there any questions about our extended year plan?" His hands held out as he made sure all the inexperienced Muuns had no doubts and were clear about their Business objectives, as Boring and routinary simple as they may have been. The Place, was not if anything well guarded, various Cameras and Recorders decorated the place as well as High End Security Droids of the City Flanking each of the places, Entry. This would not be Aluphims' idea of a 'Normal Day.

T'zanith looked back at [member="Darth Mythos"] as he was about to leave the Cortan Blade, a malevolent smirk on his lips. "We are sith.. We don't need luck." He said with his smirk as he turned around and simply step jumped backwards out of the ship. He wore a traditional and business made miralukan robes, his eyes covered with a well made blind fold as he made his way to the Mardaan headquarters. It had been quite simple to "persuade" the receptionist with a simple smile and a little use of the force against her, simple prods against her mind nothing really overt. "Mister Aluphim, there is a Mister... Zebron~ here to see you." She chimed into the old muun's office, her tone almost reminiscent of a love struck puppy.
T'zanith waited to be shown in and would give the older Muun a firm handshake, worthy of a suave businessman, as he introduced himself as the head of his company. He would explain what his company was about as well as projected profits that he would have, then he went in for the kill so to speak. "If you are wondering why I've come to you with this it is because I was... approached shall we say from your rival I guess the word it, Galicus. I know of your rivalry and it is in my opinion best to get a look at what both potential sides have to offer before making a decision." He said with a smile as he took a seat opposite the old muun, for this mission he had read up about a Muun Sith called Darth plaigus and his interesting use of force lightning., he hoped it would come in handy and useful for this red letter mission as his friend had called it.

 

[Mythos]

Mythos Smiled knowingly as he knew this mission was nothing Erebos could not handle let alone possibly fail at. Sitting back in the Cockpit of the Cortan Blade Mythos was rolling a smoking cigar filled with Herbs given to him by his many associates in the Endor black market. They were a muscle relaxant and were very good to smoke, expensive and hard to get too. Placing his boots up on the command prompt and engaging the hover mode Mythos closed his eyes and began to meditate, trying to feel the Force around where they were, Sensing any disturbances, focusing on something called. Force Sense. Which he was very dead at.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aluphim was not expecting visitors, much less of the Exotic kind, so this irregular business meeting threw him off in a big way. Still he listened to the Miralukan with more than a passing interest, this young man could be another Cog in the many wheeled Campaign against the Sagious Family stocks. The Meeting was going interesting but it turned even more so when the young man mentioned exactly what was on his mind. "Galicus Sent you ? oh his underhanded ways know no bounds i tell you! I cannot express what joy it brings me that you came to me! instead of taking that Old Hacks' words for granted!" The Muun was more than pleased with the development. "However... this is not the place to talk such complex buissness, mr... Zebron? " He shook his head gesturing for his exit. "May i trouble you for a moment of your time and a visit to my private estate ? It's not very far and much more private to discuss how we shall handle this issue as partners." Aluphim smiled thinking himself quite Sly, he would seek to impress the young man with his expensive Estates and extravagant expenses. Outside of the Offices they would find the Muuns' private transport which Aluphim entered undeterred leaving the Door open for the Miralukan Gentleman.

T'zanith bowed his head in a nod to Aluphim as he was invited to the Muun's private estate. "Of course, I prefer to take the better option and I figured you just might be that option." He said with a sly grin right back at the Muun. It was a bit easy for him to follow the man, it was like... well taking candy from a baby to be certain. T'zanith's intend to follow him back to his estate was not without his own merit however as he was sure that the Muun had his most private and delicate portfolios in his own home, under his eyes and away from those he didn't trust.
As he moved into the transport and sat opposite Aluphim he smiled. "Well at least the famed Muun hospitality is as rumored." He said with a smile as he made a slight joke he was hoping the Muun would understand since the rumor he was refering to was that the Muun would treat you with as much hospitality as the size of your wallet.

Back in the Cortan Blade Mythos was enjoying some Hard Rock and Drinks musing over a certain little Chiss who had him worried sick. He took this chance to send [member="Cryax Bane"] a little message. Once the Call was engaged he sent a Message to the Governor, just a message not a direct call. It concerned about the gathering of information about a certain house and a certain aristocrat. He knew that considering their recent dealings the task was not in any way out of reach for the dear governor. Especially when tied to something to gain, Mythos Owing you a favor. Was Something to like indeed. Knowing from a little digging that the Good Governor was more than a little corrupt having him put in a good word was not out of the question, anything else he might provide... well.. let's just say it would be met with more than just passing enthusiasm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aluphim was succeptible to compliments and the Joke was not lost on him as he laughed and threw his head back slowly and gracefully. "Oh yes of course we are a bit... Popular for our privacy and although it comes off as being Xenophobic mind you Mr. Zebron it is all done for the good of Muunilist. " Once reaching the estate the Muun showed the Young man over the Massive beautiful steps and into the main hallways.
"This was to my Office please, it is where i keep my most... Important work..." The Muun said with more than passing interest as he headed [member="Darth Erebos"] through the walkways and the beautiful estate down to an equally beautiful office desk that was made of only the most perfect craftsmanship. The place was small, but tall with a huge roof that seemed to be typical of the Muuns. "I am glad you think of Me as the Best Option and you will soon see why your guess was more than correct" the Muun narrowed his eyes and shot the Young man a Hellish grin he had hid from his demeanor until now.

From the bottom of the Desk the Muun pulled over more than a fine share of Datapads that collected the massive Information and Slice Codes for many of the Sagious Stocks. "You must know we are not as rich or well funded to actually buy off the Sagious Stocks" The Muun said motioning the guards to leave the place and left them both alone in the Office room ans suddenly the whole estate seemed calm. Aluphim prized privacy and the Waring eyes so much he demanded total secrecy. "We are currently in league with many other, companies that wish to keep themselves off the earshot... if you catch my drift. I have here all their transactions and proof of them" the Muun said shooting a sly smile. "What was your idea Mr. Zebron How do you fit in to all this?" The Muun asked with no fear or concern whatsoever, as far as he knew this Miralukan, if he was here in Muunilist, would never be dangerous with their tight security of the entire planet.

T'zanith followed the man and laughed were he was supposed to laugh, part of him glad his father had made him memorize the mannerisms of the highest stations in the galaxy when he was young. Once they were inside the room he began searching out with the force, for any cameras or recording devices that could potentially be used as evidence. When the muun began to drone on T'zanith listened with one ear as he used his force senses in his task.
The question though made him smile a little. "Well given what my company might be bringing in, in revenue given the galaxies endless need for star ships I believe it is an easy choice. As well as getting one over on the Sagious." He said flashing a small smile, he was prodding gently against Aluphim's mind with the force to try and make it easier to really convince him, figuratively eating out of T'zanith's hand so to speak. The documents would be a very nice bonus to give to Galicus as T'zanith could instantly tell they'd be worth a lot to the old Muun but why stop there?
"Tell how... severe is your rivalry with them?" T'zanith then asked the force causing his already silvery voice to become silver tongued as well.

"This is boring! why does Erebos get all the fun and im stuck here in the... oh my" Mythos said so himself while watching a holofeed of a famous intergalactic pit fighting championship. The Holo feed was much like watching any other entertainment network and luckily the Blade was outfitted with all such doodads.
The Fight was of The Condor Vs. Black Talon, two famous fighters than not only killed their opponents but made huge bucks off the broadcasting and pay per feed events which Mythos was addicted to. "Smite him Condor!! Flying Drop!!" Mythos was a bit on the drunken side by now but still very much cool and calm as the match continued, he had a bet with a friend in Endor of 5 thousand credits over the Win of the Condor Vs Black Talon, more over... Mythos knew a bit more about the fight than he lead on, due to his more than elaborate connection he was able to determine the outcome of this Fixed and Fake match that was just a ploy to get a re-match with even more income from it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aluphim nodded hearing the words of Mr. Zebron, untill now he had no idea he was actually dealing with a man who wanted to end his life. The Room was now the plane of a more than delicate encounter where Aluphium now brought up a Datapad and handed it to the Young Man. "Those are our investment fees Mr. Zebron, we would be happy to fund any major transactions on a later date and.." Aluphim sighed in a nostalgic way, he though back to many decades ago when he and Sagious were little more than Colleagues before Galicus was proclaimed patriarch and given full command of his house and Clan. "Our Families were little more than co-workers before Galicus became patriarch of the Sagious, he and i studied together in the College, we almost were friends to a point... that was before he became Partiarch and decided to devour everything and anything in his way..." Aluphim looked at Erebos with concern, only now coming to terms that this man could be a spy or something else to dig for information. The thought left his mind as he thought of the plus side of this encounter. The Muun shook his head with finality and simply stated. "Decades Mr. Zebron, we have been at each others throats for Decades sadly..." His voice trailing off in a reluctant way... truly Aluphim did not want it to be this way, but Sagious had forced his hand, he had come for his livelihood and Aluphium was going to fight back!

T'zanith smiled at the muun when he took the datapad into his hand and looked it all over. "An Interesting and surely the better deal for sure Miser Aluphim, with deals like this against Galicus's targets it's no wonder he wants you dead." T'zanith said with a wide smirk as he brought the full weight of his power down upon Aluphim's mind and into his own voice to give it the power he'd need. "Now could be be so kind as to transfer all the information you hold inside your estate regarding your dealings, your company and your account numbers as well as any dirt you have on anyone." He said with a smile as he pulled out a datapad and placed it on the table in front of him. If he had to kill the man, he'd have something out of it.
Dirt on competitors and such information would be highly good to have in the future after all, and business is businesses.

[Mythos]

It had been Hours since the last encounter between Erebos and Mythos and Animus was beginning to get more than a little worried about the whole thing. Mythos was now sobered up thanks to some more than gentle calcimined water and meditation. The Hard Drinks he had had threw him off but the fact that he was right now on a Mission put him back in a position where he needed to be alert and Sober for the entire thing. Took him a full hour to get Sobered up and the Alcohol out of his Bloodstream using the Very SIM as a blood coagulant to strip the Toxin out of the Grease centimes of his veins. After he was ready and Sober Mythos made it his duty to get the Ship prepped up for departure. Erebos would have to return soon, if not Mythos would have to give him a Simple call on his Com.
For now Mythos reared the Blade and Scanned the Holofeeds of the Planets security via a Slicing Datapad.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aluphim, was a goner. As Soon as the Weight and power of Erebos came into his mind the Muun was totally under his control, the subtle suggestions and the intrusion on his mind was something so foreign to the Muun he had no defense against it. Without hesitation and with eyes unblinking as a dead organic he passed all the information and Bank accounts of Millions of Credits to Erebos without thought. The Subconscious of Aluphiums mind was still awake but his conscious self was under the subtle yet powerful Grip of [member="Darth Erebos"].
"Why... Of Course Mr. Zebron..." His eyes unblinkingly stated all the codes and what Erebos asked for and even more that he did not know about, information about Innocent Bank numbers that Aluphim sometimes made thousands of Credits vanish and turn up in his bank account. Drooling and mindless Aluphim began passing all the information to the Miralukan without even realizing it, under a trance Aluphim was defenseless.

However it was during this time that the Guard duty became anxious and returned to the Estate, still not daring to come to the office of Aluphim but they would soon...
​

 

[Shaddi]

Once T'zanith had the information he desired he took the Datapad and placed it into a pocket inside his robes and stood up. He had, had his senses on full alert as he kept the Muun under his grip and gotten what he wished from the man. Once that was done he motioned for the Muun to show him out only to shake his hand as they were in the guards visibility. "Thank you for being such a gracious host Mister Aluphim. I look forward to our business arrangements coming to fruition." He said with the smile of someone who had just made a great bargain, all to sell the Illusion. He sent a strong pulse through his own hand into the Muun's and into his heart, this would effectively cause the Muun's heart to go into arrest and be unable to be started again.
T'zanith played his part of concerned man as the Muun collapsed, calling the guards in to help the poor old Muun man as the man was slowly dying yet unable to voice anything thanks to T'zanith also blocking his vocal cords from moving with the force. And then it was done, the Muun lay dead and the guards would be none the wiser as it looked like a normal heart attack, the trick had been to get both of the Muun's hearts at the same time but it was only rare not unheard of.
Once he had gone through the droning questions from the guards and then having to stay and watch as the Muun was transported to a hospital he was finaly let go. "Mythos could you please pick me up on Aluphim's estate." He then said into his com as he walked to the landing platform of the estate and made sure the guards would simply see a transport come and pick him up, instead of the Cortan blade.

[Mythos]

Just when things were sounding a bit suspicious over the Open Frequencies and Guards were moving about the area Erebos gave him the call of pick up, Aluphim estate? Where the hell was that? While prepping the Blade for take off he input the name of the Database and got the coordinates of the Place. "On my way, prep for pick up"
Mythos was Sober now and fully alert, when making his Fly by with the Cortan through all Muunilinst and arriving at the Aluphim estate where it seemed his friend had actually caused quite the ruckus.

The sky was Dark and it had been Noon when this mission had started, now it was late night and the Muun house Lights blazed through the streets in what Mythos found quite the impressive sight to behold. The alleyways and the street corners all alight it what seemed like a perfect high class society. He saw no homeless anywhere, and every Muun he saw wore quite the expensive garments, the back alleyways were clean, even the less wealthy Muuns walked about with an aura of importance.
Parking up the Cortan in the Docking Area and popping open the Ramp the Cloaking device was still activated. Mythos awaited patiently so his friend could arrive but while he waited he made a series of Mental Notes of the place taking into account the Number of Guards, the Stairways, what looked to be a medical facility.

T'zanith walked into the ship and gave the guards a dismissive wave, making them walk back into the estate. As he arrived at the cockpit T'zanith had a big smile on his face as he moved to sit down next to [member="Darth Mythos"] and leaned back into his seat as he took out the datapad and then began to go through the data he had obtained from Aluphim. "I guess this mission is a success, Aluphim had a very unfortunate heart attack." He said with a joking motion of his hand against his chest.
He then copied all the dirt Aluphim had gathered relating to Galicus and his operations to a data chip. "Here I'm sure this will come in handy for Galicus." He said with a wide smile.

 

[Mythos]

Mythos just had one look at his Friend and smiled back equally, Laughing his ass off when Erebos made the dramatic gesture but his face got serious when he took a look at the datapad but it did not last, the good mood was quickly back when he realized what he held in his hand. "Well..well... How did you manage this? " His voice not hiding his enthusiasm. He turned on SIM and prepped for a command. "SIM, pull up a Transaction Portal." Mythos began tinkering with the Datapad and Uploading a data link that fed the information to SIM's mainframe.

Within a few minutes there was a prompt that lead to a Simple Bank Account Slicer program that was actually commonplace even at businesses, using the information and accounts from a large detail of various companies Mythos made a simple transfer of Funds that took about 25 minutes all while speeding off in the general direction of Csilla Jumping to Hyperspace once out of Atmosphere. Once done he laughed lighting His Cigar once again, this time with a bit more deliverance. "Well i just transferred the assets of credits from all the associates to Aluphims' bank account, the good fellows were nice enough to provide him the Access codes for transactions" Mythos paused laughing in a low tone, "They trusted him with the transaction logs and now his account has a full transaction to one of my Offshore accounts. All we have to do now is order a clean-out of the offshore account and we just have ourselves about..." Mythos held the word while he checked up on the prompt screen and did a small numbers estimate that he knew for a fact was minimum. "Ten to Fifty Million Credits"

He shrugged, such numbers were not uncommon to his budget now a days, with his last order of 300 freighters alone he made that amount and a bit extra but he was saving the lot for a new project he had in mind. "This is probably the right time to tell you of a project and contract i have in mind." Mythos spun on him, "Of course this was your job, that is your money but i want you to take a listen to what i have got planned. As i know, Time is more valuable than credits."

Mythos offered him one of the Premium Endorian Cigars, brand new and the smell was heavenly. "Me and an Associate are in need of a steady supply of this" Mythos spoke in a business tone, the trip would be a long one, so he took this opportunity. Upon his hand was a small datapad which he gave to T'zanith. "A steady Supply of computer chips and advanced electronic materials..." His tone was somber, this was top secret and not even the One Sith had clearance to this negotiation. "If your company can set up a production of this, I as Will of Atrisia will Allow you to build and Operate on the planet, as well as help you out with whatever you need." Mythos Smiled very content with how he would handle everything. "Signing a contract that will offer Your company an insane profit, as well as extra deals along the way. A chance to mass produce to an interested buyer in mass quantities." He of course was talking about [member="Ultimatum"], but for now he would leave the important details as customers and other information until after a proper contract was ensured.

T'zanith took the Cigar and ran it under his nose, he enjoyed their smell but he wasn't that big of a smoker to begin with. Placing the Cigar into the chest pocket of his robe he listened to [member="Darth Mythos"] as he spoke to T'zanith. "Well It would be possible with the droid factories inside the Zuguruk stations but that would most likely take up that part of the section entirely, to mass produce these chips in this quantity. I must ask though what planet is Atrisia, I can't place it or can't say I've heard of it at all. Which quadrant is it in?" He then said as he looked through the data pad, the offer was solid and he was hoping to build another station anyway as he felt like he could make a small trade route that would connect the stations together.

 

[Mythos]

"I'm not that great with star charts but i will beam you the coordinates, Its's a planet in the Core worlds region Grid Coordinates i think it's J-12 if i am not mistaken. " Mythos said puffing away at the Cigar, Almost out of hyperspace Mythos shrugged thinking of the possibility of a mass Factory in Atrisia. "I have full authority over the planet just as Cryax has over Csilla. The One Sith has seen fit to give the responsibility to me." Mythos' voice could not hide a sense of Overwhelming pride. Mythos was thinking about many things concerning Atrisia however, this particular project would take precedent over it.

"I can give you all the paperwork you need to legally begin the project in the Planet however" Mythos paused thinking over a few things. "I have an Emperor to Kill in Atrisia, while you make the project i will be a little busy spilling Royal Blood however i will be with you shortly after" Mythos laughed while he pulled Out Pride, his lightsaber and floated it around his hands. "Atrisians respect the old traditions and Emperors must be strong, so i will kill him in a duel in front of the whole planet" Mythos said dropping the Saber back on his lap as the Cortan Blade popped out of Hyperspace and into Chiss space. "When you are ready to begin the Expansion contact me and i will see to it that Atrisia becomes your next stepping stone in growing Zuguruk more powerful" He said while taking man of the blade and shutting off the autopilot. "This won't be the last project i will give to Zuguruk, i assure you" Mythos said blasting the blade to the Space station. "we have a lot of work ahead my friend. "

As they came out of Hyperspace the nearly constructed facility, the command spire was ready and the very base skeleton of the ring as well as the largest and middle space yard facility for the largest ships. "Well any business from a friend is welcomed business." He said with a wide smirk before he stood up to look at the station over. "I'll be overseeing the finishing touches of this station and I shall contact you as soon as it is done. I'm sure we can tweak the station over Atrisia to be able to build what you need." He then said as he crossed his arms a bit and then headed to the back of the ship, getting dressed in his personal Armor, adjusting the armors fitting over his hand as he left the room as well as his new mask. "So once you've dropped me off I'll also make sure that I arrive in a new ship such as you did." He said with a smirk before he placed the mask over his head.
As the mask was fully on, T'zanith's voice changed, deepened and seemed more inline with what would be expected of a sith. "So tell me do I look the part? Now that I'm a Knight I should just as well look the part of a Sith knight." He asked [member="Darth Mythos"] in a tone that would give away a smile under his mask.

 

[Mythos]

Mythos shook his head as he saw the Armor. By the Force was that Phirk?. Mythos Narrowed his eyes as he saw the complex suit of Armor and nodded in approval. "I need to get me one of those... Minus the helmet." Mythos laughed at the end sentence shaking his hand while the other piloted the Ship down to the Station. "It looks rather... In-human." He said it in a somber tone, quickly he realized that was the basic point.

Mythos could not explain why but that armors' helmet gave him the most eerie chill down his spine he had ever felt. Strange considering they faced a massive Tuk'ata and did not even flinch and now this Piece of Technology threw him off in an un-explainable way. The way the Mask changed his voice was noted quickly in Mythos' mind and he suddenly thought of something quite unique which he shrugged off for another time. Taking another puff of the Cigar he stood up as the Station landed in the Spire. Mythos gave Erebos his hand a gesture of brotherhood. "I am certain this won't be that last of our missions... I do hope i can partake in the next one. Galicus will be contacting you soon" Mythos said with a smile, oh, and Galicus would, Erebos still had 2 more missions of the sort, one a bit stranger than this one.

[member="Darth Erebos"]​

 

[Shaddi]

"In-human? I think you are forgetting that I am not human to begin with, though I will admit to looking the part." He said with a light chuckle and he took [member="Darth Mythos"]'s hand, T'zaniht's forehand against Animus's hand while T'zanith gripped his forearm. He was half way, away from Animus when he turned to his friend and moved his hand in a fist bump motion towards him. "We'll have to train together sometime, I'm anxious to try out my saber skills against your own." He said in the same smile giving tone as he then left the ship and entered the command spire, his kama like lower robe bellowed and opened as the air exchange made a sudden draft into the cortan blade.
Now T'zanith was heading to the design deck to make his own ship ready and begin it's construction.
