The First Step Homewards... (Bespin Mining/Steal)

Veino nodded and hurried off ahead,winding his way through the tunnels, following the ever weakening presence of the woman, he picked up the pace, dashing ahead and sliding around corners. There was no point in stealth any longer. She was dying. That much was evident. And he had no training in healing. That was something he would have to remedy at one point or another. Nowmhismgoal was to find her alive to get information.

He slowed,focusing on controlling his breathing, slowing it down so it would be quieter. She was close now. Very close. He stopped, and listened. To his right. Small moans and hisses of agony from beneath a set of pipes. He walked over towards them, and dove to the side as a blaster bolt screamed out st him, ricocheting off the pipes and disappearing into the darkness. He reached out with the a Force and yanked on the pistol. It skittered along the ground into the shadows on the far side and disappeared.

He knelt down beside the pipes, bending down to peer underneath it. He could just barely make out the woman's shape propped up against wall, though he could feel her anger and despair and pain.

"Please, let me help you." His orders were for no survivors, but he could not in good conscience commit a murder. He had not committed anything that could possibly be murder while in the Fel Imperium, and he wasn't going to start now.

"I don't want your help!" She snapped and pushed herself farther against the wall, clutching her torso and arms, where blood trickled downwards. "You already killed me."

"I didn't fire those shots!"

"No, you idiot. By failing to complete he contract....I signed.... my death warrant." Her voice grew weaker, and Veino leaned forward to hear her better as it dropped to a whisper. She met his gaze and held it. "Something...is....coming....darkness...." Her presence vanishes, and Veino's shoulders slumped. He was tired. So incredibly tired. No matter what he did or how hard he tried, people died. Innocents, guilty, a combination of both. Each one felt like a piece of himself was torn out and erased from existence. He wasn't sure how much more he could take.

He slowly reached forward and pulled her body out from beneath the pipe and set her out on the floor. He closed her eyes, murmuring softly, and then sat there, exhausted, the previous day or so taking its toll on him. He wanted to rest.

Shargon'Ta smiled to himself. Filar-Nitzans could change color at will, but this was not the situation. Shargon'Ta seeing the scenario now focus's on his body turning transparent again. And moving in a fast jog of a speed silently hovers past the cyborg leaving a blur as he moved toward the Jedi. Shargons hover in the sewer was dead silent, once 9ft away from the Cyborg Shargon turned back to normal. Black smoke suddenly filled the area and wisped from his central body and Red eyes were shown again. " Doesn't your order love Death,Jedi? Why be sad.. She is now one with the force." Shargon said in a mocking way. He had exposed himself as planned and the ceiling had multiple pipe openings most of which led to the surface eventually. " You have Questions or Emotions to settle come Embrace me..." Shargon's voice was medium tuned and his body now turned tints of grey to help them see him. Shargon'Ta was faceing the Jedi and standing facing the jedi and having the Cyborg behind him 9ft away Shargon'Ta was ready or the Next move but expected Questions.

Nyos was getting upset, the creature seemed to be able to change it's composition to avoid his shots. So he decided to use something he could not avoid. Holstering the Ripper, Nyos ten unslung the bolter. Using High Velocity, High Explosive , time deployed rounds, Nyos was about to incinerate the creature. Lining up a shot, using infrared tracking, Nyos called to the Jedi.

"Get to cover. Firing!"

The bolt left the chamber of the gun, and sped towards it's intended target. Usually bolters like this one were used as bunker busters, but today it was a stalker striker. The round would explode in the center of the heat sig, destroying an area of four meters in diameter.

Shargon'Ta expected something like this to happen, was typical of people to shoot him often. Apon the firing of the weapon Shargon said " Cyborg, Please think before you act...." Shargon'Ta sighed as he said it too. Shargon'Ta stood his ground knowing his body isnt composed of flammable gas and standing 9ft away from both Cyborg and Jedi, both on opposite ends they would both take part of the blast. A Explosive like that in the sewers was not smart at all. Medium sized tunnels ranged all over the place the fire would spread slightly.

Upon contact with his body the round passed through his gasous chest and detonated. Explosive round making a medium sized hole in the sewers having the force of the explosion go in both directions with fire at the Cyborg and Jedi. Parts of Shargon's body wisped and morphed but his central area remained. Smoke from the explosion masked his body slighty.

Shargon'Ta let out a laugh. " Explosive round shot at a Cloud Demon interesting, But never the less It has been done before."

Veino stood on reflex to the shout from [member="Nyos Val"] and used the Force to enhance his speed, shooting down the tunnel and behind Nyos. He threw himself to ground and rolled to break the impact as the round exploded behind him. Hear and cinders rushed past him, but he was far enough away to avoid being injured. He slowly stood and turned to face back down the tunnel.

"Cloud demon, you say? Not sure I believe in demons. Why were you following us?"

[member="Shargon'Ta"]
 
Nyos faced the brunt of the explosion, his cybernetic body didn't feel pain. He stood, looking through the smoke at the creature. He resorted to brute force, dropping his bolter, he drew his Lazy Eye pistol and Ripper smg and began to unload on the creature. No way it could survive it all.


I will need your help Jedi, this is taking us away from finding the kids. Get the officers to come to our aid.


Nyos figured with the increased rate of fire would force the creature to succum to the cyborg.

Shargon'Ta shaped his body to a one of its limits while under fire, shaping to 0.3m in height and 0.3m length. Shargon was now a condensed ball of gas about the size of a football. This was kept most shots avoided but Shargon was in a pain from being hit by a bolt, Rest of the shots that hit Shargon had been able to diffuse. This process numbed the pain and made it less than lethal. " I grow tired of savages attacking what they cannot comprehend. " Shargon said as the fire continued, As for the shots that hit him they had passed through like normal but Shargon felt the pain, but could not express it. His face was gone and compressed in the ball. The ball tinted with Red strains from blaster diffusion.

Shargon'Ta knew it was time. " Jedi I was answer you later, We must meet again!" At this said Shargon turned transparent as small as he was and flew up the pipe above him to the Surface to find his robe.

Veino let out a breath and rubbed his temples pulling the trigger from his pocket. "I have he detonator, or whatever it is here. A tech crew should be able to reverse engineer it and locate where the signals would be sent, correct?" He headed back towards the opening of the tunnel, limping from where a piece of shrapnel had embedded itself in his leg. He used the Frce to dull the pain. "I think shooting at the thing that followed us may have been counter productive,"

He was tired. So tired, of everything. Life, especially. The galaxy specifically.

Nyos turned to the Jedi and unclasped his medical bag. He bent down to the wound on the Jedi's leg and began to administer his field physician experience on removal, bandagin and synth-skinning the area. The wound should heal quickly being a Jedi and having a senior medical officer work on his wound. He checked the area for signs of the stalker.

"I got the desired results. We no longer are being followed. You're leg will sting for a few more minutes until the medicine kicks in. If you need, I can hold you up so we may find the children. Come." Holding out a metal hand, a polite grin on his face betrayed his previous actions of ruthlessness against the stalker.

Veino paused, wincing slightly as the lieutenant removed the shrapnel and cleaned up the wound. It started to sting, and he settled into the Force, letting the pain diffuse to barely noticeable. He stretched out with the Force. They were the only two living sentients in the area.

"I am not sure the stalker was hostile though," He waved off the hand, but returned the smile, "Thanks. I appreciate your cleaning my leg. I should be fine though. It isn't that severe of an injury." He started walking out again and contacted Officer Gemini, "Can you reverse engineer the detonator to find the signal receivers?"

"We should be able to, although we should be able to change the signal to deactivate as well."

"Roger that, returning to to your location now."
 
Nyos shrugged and followed the Jedi out of the tunnel. He received a PM from his ship that Bespin officials rounded up the hideout that Nyos raided and the one that was left alive gave a location beneath the market district that was in frequent use by the gang when extorting someone.

Master Jedi, I have been given the location of a known operations center for the gang. It is located under the Market District in sector Ten. I believe that is the best lead so far. Would you like to investigate further?

Nyos had all of his weapons stowed and was dusting off his duster jacket as he spoke. This Jedi was one of the most, if not the most respectable Jedi Nyos had ever come across. Nyos wanted nothing more than to see this mission through and to a 100% survival rate of the hostages. He had an unwritten contract to the Jedi to prove the Protectorate was truly a force for Justice and Peace.

Veino considered the news, and then nodded. "Yes. We should follow all leads that we can at the moment. How long would it take to compile all missing person's cases within the last...three weeks or so?" He headed for a lift, and then stopped, calculating. "We may find a pattern that can be traced to a central location."

He relayed that information to Officer Gemini, and he waited for several moments as she thought about that.

"Beginning analysis," Came the reply, and he could hear her talking urgently through the comm to other officers. Veino slipped his comlink back into his pocket.

"We'll go investigate this room beneath the market district." He smiled slowly. "Maybe even crack the syndicate wide enough to bring it down here on Cloud City."
 
Nyos nodded to the Jedi. He turned and made for a lift to get them to the Market District.

"Once we find the room, we must be cautious. I do not know how many more are here or what they've done if they found out we killed their Lt."

Nyos checked his power cells and assured they'd be ready to go if the 'fit hit the shan'.

"Understood," Veino replied, following along, stretching out with the a Force for any clue that could help them. Unfortunately, there were too many beings on Cloud City to gain anything useful. It was overwhelming, actually. Like standing in the midst of a river that raged and crashed around one in all directions. He stumbled slightly as it started to crush him, making him unaware of his own existence and identity, completely consumed by the life of the galaxy that created the Force for which he leaned on for strength. He brought his mental walls back up again, and retreated inside himself, shaking his head to clear it. That was far too dangerous for the moment, or even when alone for that matter.

"I think we can assume they won't be pleased about what we've done," Veino said to cover his stumble, "And we can likely expect more aggressive hostilities."
 
If aggressive actions are taken, I will respond in kind. Our first goal, is to secure the captured children, second is to wipe the Syndicate off the map. The Protectorate cannot allow them to continue to exist. I am the bringer of their demise, you shall be the Children's Hero.

Nyos turned and put a hand on the back of the Jedi. He was a Force User, they had many weights on their shoulders, and even a strong man like this was pressed by that weight. Nyos understood.

By the power given to me from the Lord Protector, I am naming you an Ally of the Protectorate. You and all of your kind are forever welcome in our territories. We will be friends to you if you ever need a hand. Nyos walked away towards the Market. His security officer contacts gave him the location of the last known location of the Syndicate Hideout.

[member="Veino Garn"]
 
[member="Nyos Val"]

"Affirmative," Veino replied, almost mechanically. He understood that reasoning and would do the same. It was necessary in this galaxy, although painful. Though what was necessary was often painful. "Although I'm not sure I qualify as a hero. This was all a ploy set up to trap me in the first place. It's my fault."

He stiffened in surprise at the unexpected hand, but relaxed. It was comforting, actually, to have such a camaraderie. It had been a long time since he had felt like a part of something larger than himself on such a scale. The early days of the Fel Imperium to be precise, before their actions began to take a sickening toll on his well being and put his ideals at odds with his loyalty. Ally of the Protectorate. There was a ring to it, and his jaw went up imperceptibly and a new glint came to his eyes.

"I will do what I can to live up to that honor. And I shall be a friend to you and the Protectorate should I ever be able to assist in any way possible."

He hurried after resettling himself in the Force to recenter himself to prepare for what could lay ahead.
 
The door to the service entrance was locked, and Nyos didn't want to destroy any more property. Turning to the Jedi, he would ask for his help in the matter.

Jedi, might you be able to open this for us? I do not wish any more property damage to come out of my pay.

Stepping back, Nyos leveled his Ripper on the door, in case anything came out after the Jedi opened it.

[member="Veino Garn"]
 
[member="Nyos Val"]

Veino nodded and stepped up to the door, examining it. It wasn't too complicated. He was out of practice though, so he waited several moments, focusing on his breathing to regain his center, and then he stretched out with the Force, nudging the locking mechanism until it released and the door slid open with a hiss. Two thugs stepped forward to stop him, raising rifles to their shoulders, and he shoved out with the Force, slamming them against the wall. They slid to the floor and Veino stepped into the chamber, lightsaber crackling to life.

He raised his voice, projecting it out so all could hear, and adding a touch of the Force to his words. "Drop your weapons and kneel on the ground in the center here with your hands on your heads."
 
Nyos had to admire the drive of this Jedi. He knew what needed to be done, and he did it well. Nyos followed in behind the Jedi, Ripper raised in case someone didn't listen to the Jedi's demand. His comm chirped with news from his crew.

"Sir, we have reports of Syndicate thugs and associates being rounded up all over the city. They are saying they're bugging out because of a crazed Cyborg and a Jedi."

In a silent transmition, Nyos replied to keep up the good work and alert him if there were any changes.

Veino nodded in acknowledgement to the update from his comrade. That was good news. Even better than he expected. Things were working out surprisingly well now. Unfortunately though, that was when things usually went downhill very quickly. He stood, watching the crowds ahead of them. One of them stepped forward and threw down his weapon, and then knelt on the floor. Others quickly followed suit until they were all there. Veino nodded to Nyos and added softly,

"Might want to call in some extra security teams."

He stepped forward to one who seemed to be of he highest rank and got down to one knee in front of him, lightsaber still ignited and studied the man's face, lit yellow by the blade.

"I'm looking for hostages your organization seems to be holding in an attempt to control me." Veino placed special emphasis on the word attempt. Like it was pathetic. It was, really. Especially with how things turned out. "I suggest you give me all of their locations and how you were threatening them." His voice was soft, but in a terrifying way, as if he was speaking to someone far below him in intelligence. "And I suggest you do it quickly."

The man swallowed nervously, sweat dripping down his face and reflecting the blade of plasma at crackled not far from him. He gestured to a side door.

"Command center. Has all the data we have access to and information inside." Veino nodded slowly and then stood. He stepped back, and the man sagged in relief.

"Can you handle this lot?" He called to Nyos, still watching the prisoner.
