The Hunt Begins (Part 1)

[HK-42]

HK-42 took to the Stars, using his Master's ship, the Emeralde Luna, to go and find other HK units. He was accompanied by another HK unit, HK-57, and an Astromech named C7 on board.

"Query: Will it take any longer HK-42?"

"Statement: I grow tired of looking for others like us."

HK-57 had been with HK-42 in the Cockpit, as C7 worked around the ship doing repairs, while they flew around looking for any source, with no true destination till they find one.

Statement: Soon...Soon...I have yet to find a location for one of us.

Obvious Threat: I will make sure that you don't function again if you keep that up.

The Emeralde Luna jumped out of Hyperspace, slowing down in the Galatic Center Sector, flying by empty space as the ship relaxes in space.

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes, a deadly assassin. An assassin who took pride and pleasure in her work. Unlike many in the same line of business, Kes would enjoy a kill, especially up front and close. However she found as time went by, going at it alone could at times prove extremely dangerous. Even for someone of her calibre. Thus she had an idea. Why not have her own droid. A personal droid programmed to serve her and only her, yet programmed and designed to kill. Kes was flying solo in her rare Sajnen Starfighter R, her ship would shortly exit from hyperspace. She had been given a hunch and was following it. A possible location of some HK droids. It was a bit of a long shot in actually finding one, however Kes had decided to take the chance. Her ship would exit hyperspace and into Galactic Centre Sector. There appeared to be mo one around. Well almost nobody. Her ship's long range sensors did pick up another ship. However after a quick scan of it, she picked up no sentient life onboard. Umm perhaps it's a droid controlled ship, or abandoned. I think I'll go check it out. Kes quietly said to herself as she lay in a course for the unknown ship which in fact was the Emeralde Luna.

[HK-42]

Observation: HK-42, we have a Meatbag Ship flying towards us.

Query: What shall we do?

A ship with an unknown signature to the droids on board and the ship, being detected on the long range scanners, was flying towards them.

Order: Shut the engines down and allow them to board, Alert C7 to hide somewhere if possible, and you store yourself somewhere as well...

Statement: I will deal with the unknown entity.

The engines would power down completely, letting the ship float around. HK-57 would go downstairs and alert C7, and stores himself and the Astromech in different parts of the ship, as HK-42 stays in the cockpit. He'd also shut down all other electronics, except for something powerful enough to keep the Emeralde Luna's signature top be picked up.

[Kes En'jusek]

As Kes got closer to the Emeralde Luna, she rescanned it, and once again got no life readings. Bizarre she thought to herself. Could be droid operated. Exactly what I'm looking for. Perhaps they've shut down?. Kes decided she would board to find out. Her ship was significantly smaller than the Emeralde Luna being a fighter, so boarding it didn't present too much of a problem. Kes was not dressed in her typical assassins clothing, instead in her elegant business attire. This would make her look as stunning as ever, and would conceal the fact on who she really was, a deadly cold blooded assassain.

She exited her starfighter and made sure to have her body force field shield on her. She would keep it deactivated, however activating it would only take a split second to do if need be. Her blasters, or rather blasters, along with a variety of bladed weapons and her favourite strangling cord remained concealed within her clothing. She then would make her way out of the hangar bay, and make her way to the cockpit looking around carefully as she walked in what appeared an abandoned and dormant ship.

[HK-42]

The two other Droids remained active, but silent, as C7 hid in the Cargo Hold, and HK-57 hid in the Security room, with the Door locked. The only door open that had anyone in it was the Cockpit's ladder, leading up to HK-42, sitting still in the chair, waiting and listening for when the Meatbag who boarded the Emeralde Luna came up to the top of it.

[member="Kes En'jusek"]

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes cautiously and slowly made her way to the cockpit area. She kept all her weapons hidden rather than carry her gun in her hand. It was unusual for Kes to do such a thing, however she felt that holding a gun in her hand would be a sign of aggression on her own part. Also the ship appeared to be abandoned. Kes slowly climbed the stairs that lead to the cockpit and entered it. She saw no one in there except a powered down HK droid. Umm that's a suitable type of droid to what I seek.. Kes bent down to touch the inactive or what appeared to be an inactive HK-42. It's metal felt ad cold as her own skin. Now how do I turn you on and program you to my liking droid.

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

He'd rise up from the chair, and turns around as he inspects her body, looking at what he had heard come up the stairs. He'd have the audio of a Hutts chuckle play, referring to the comment she made to have him programed to her own liking.

Response: oh Meatbag, you cannot program me to your will...I already have a Master.

Clarification: A Meatbag of a Master who has gone AWOL to find some random merc, and has left me with the ship, another HK unit, and an Astromech on board.

Identification: I am HK-42, the other two droids on board are HK-57, and C7, Meatbag.

Query: But what right thought in your fleshy brain had you think that I would bend over for you, Female Meatbag?

[member="Kes En'jusek"]

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes would literally jump on her feet as HK-42 sprung to life. A little shocked, Kes would place her right hand over her heart area.

"I'm so sorry sir. Really I am. I thought you belonged to nobody. Really I did."

Kes would play the all innocent role, dressed in her elegant business attire, she most certainly didn't look like the assassin that she really was.

"I mean you no harm sir droid. Sorry what is your name? I'm Kes. I'm looking for a droid just like you who had no master already, so that I can become its master. Can you help me?"

Kes would continue speaking with an innocent girlish like voice, pretending to be totally clueless.

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

Observation: the innocence act will get you nowhere Meatbag.

Query: Maybe if you learn to keep your motives to yourself, perhaps?

HK-42 was the least bit changed from anything, especially this. He would of attacked, had it been that he had a weapon to attack with, other than his hands. So he turned around and reactivated all the systems he shut down before, including letting C7 and HK-57 roam around again.

Greeting: I am HK-42, A quite strange pleasure to meet you, Kes the Meatbag.

It didn't take long for HK-57 to come up the stairs and to see [member="Kes En'jusek"] standing there.

Query: HK-42, who is this?

Clarification: is this the Unknown Entity that was flying that ship from earlier?

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes was an expert assassin and combatant, she could tell that the droid would have tried to attack her had he had a weapon. Luckily for him that he didn't. If he even tried it, Kes wouldn't have hesitated to turn him into a trash pile. Instead she played it down. Really she hadn't come to make trouble, and in the end she didn't find it fun destroying droids. She only took pleasure in killing living and breathing beings.

"But really Mr HK-42, I'm just a young woman seeking a droid, a rather strong droid who can fight. As you can see apart from the fact that I'm just a girl who is weak and can't fight, I'm a business woman. I need someone to protect me."

Just as Kes had finished talking, another droid that looked like HK-42, HK-57 entered the cockpit.

"Oh!" Kes exclaimed still acting like she was surprised and a little afraid.

"Yes, yes it was me, the what you call an unknown entity. I'm no threat to any of you. I'm just looking for a droid that has no master at the moment. That's all really. If you cannot help me, I am happy to leave you all be and can happily be on my way."

Kes would then say, making it seem like she was feeling awkward and scared and was in a hurry to leave.

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

Statement: If you are looking for a droid, then look no further.

Continuation: though you not being a threat is untrue, due to your several blades under your Business Outfit, Ma'am.

He watched as she reacted to HK-57, and also noticed her sense of urgency to leave as well.

Statement:If you wish to leave, then go ahead.

HK-57 moved out from the ladder, and kept clear of the doorway, as HK-42 sat down and saved the data on the Ship she was flying onto the Ship's computer.

[member="Kes En'jusek"]

 

[Kes En'jusek]

"Oh no, no, no. I'm just a girl who can't fight. Really and truly. The blades under my attire are to defend myself with, but in all honesty I have no idea how to fight with them, thus the reason why I want my own personal warrior droid."

HK-42 then would advise her that he could indeed help with what she was looking for. In the end despite their menacing looks, they didn't appear to be a threat to her, as long as she remained calm and didn't do anything rash or stupid which she had absolute no intention of doing.

Kes would then give him a cheeky grin. "Okay HK-42, I'll stay since you say you know where I can find a droid."

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

Observation: Since my Master has gone AWOL, I don't think that It'd be bad if I took a new one in temporarily.

Agreement: I agree, it would be good to have a temporary Master.

They'd both nod to this, as C7 starts to roll up, making beeps and noises in reaction to [member="Kes En'jusek"] being in the cockpit

Clarification: C7, this is Kes, she will be a temporary Master for us until [member="Matthew (Rogue) Drevur"] returns to the Emeralde Luna.

C7 beeped and whistled in an aggravated response, as he rolled away back to the engine room.

 

[Kes En'jusek]

Kes was surprised that HK-42 would accept her as a temporary master. Splendid indeed she thought, but would nonetheless remain alert.

"Okay then HK-42, I accept to be your temporary master. But please I'm just a girl so don't hurt me."

Kes would put both her hands out in a backaway gesture just to make it look that she was still a little afraid of him.

"Now, my first request for you HK-42 is to go find me a droid just like you or similar. If you already have an idea of where to go, by all means go ahead."

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

Clarification: You cannot order me to do something I was already doing, Les.

Agreement: Indeed, Ma'am.

Statement: Me and HK-42 were looking for other HK Units, with no leads whatsoever.

HK-57 sat down next to HK-42 in the copilot's chair, not knowing when [member="Kes En'jusek"] would leave the Emeralde Luna's cockpit

 

[Kes En'jusek]

"Oh I was not aware that that was already your objective."

Kes said surprised to both HK droids.

"Well if you have no leads, then perhaps I can help. Maybe?"

Kes then retrieved a small data-pad from one of her pockets.

"There, the Alactaar system. It has nine moons in its orbital system. Go to the fifth moon. I believe there may be something there sir."

Kes would finally point out to HK-42. She herself wasn't too certain on how accurate the source of this information was, but she needed that droid and would go to all ends to get it. Not knowing what dangers lurked around, despite her deadly skills, she felt a lot safer to bring in 2 already fight capable HK droids with her, just incase things got a lithe too rough for her liking. And besides, the HK droids she was with were very much seeking the same thing, so in the end she would be doing them a favour too.

[member="HK-42"]

 

[HK-42]

Clarification: If we go to this Location, Meatbag,and find this HK unit, I will keep him onboard as a Part of the Crew.

Continuation: Any attempt to take the Unit will result in your immediate Termination.

Statement: If you have anything you wish to grab for this trip, do so now, for we will be leaving for these coordinates in Five Minutes and counting

[member="Kes En'jusek"].

 

[Kes En'jusek]

"Sure you can keep the HK unit if one is there. However any other useful type of droid that we may happen to stumble upon is mine."

Kes simply would reply unphased by HK-42's threats. In the end she knew who she really was, she would take the HK unit that they found, if indeed they did find one, and any resistance met my HK-42 or his companions would be attended to by deadly force. There was no way that Kes would bow down to the demands of a droid, infact she rarely bowed down to anyone. Kes simply smiled at HK-42 and continued with her charade.

"I don't need anything. All I need is either on me or on my ship that's parked in your hangar bay. So go whenever you're ready. And I would really appreciate it if you stop calling me a meatbag, after all I'm just a weak, helpless girl."

Kes would simply put both her arms up to each side in a not knowing anything / lost gesture and make a facial expression to follow.

"Anyway if it's okay with you, I'm gonna walk over to my ship. I'm just gonna rest in it for a bit. Please notify me when we get there."

With that Kes left the cockpit and went back to her ship. Obviously not to rest, but to prepare herself for certain battle. Now that she knew that she would be facing droids, she dumped all her bladed weapons in her ship, and instead grabbed hold of a small EMP pulse weapon. Her business attire was sort of tight, so she had no way to carry all her weapons. She decided to take only the ones that would best suit the situation. She grabbed some slicing equipment too while she was there, this she didn't need to hide from HK-42 and then was very much done. She then decided that she would walk around the lower levels of the ship a little while they were en-route to their destination.
