The Huntress is nothing without the Hunt (Lord Ajihad)

[Minna]

A week later...

Minna sat by the hospital computer terminal after spending a considerable amount of time ensuring she could get an encrypted connection. Once she could, her robotic hand extended to the keyboard. She looked at it for a moment, letting out a small sigh. Soon she'd have something much better, and not just for one arm. Until then though, there was work to do. She had to lay the foundations for the future, which started with planting a seed.

On her encrypted connection, Minna dug up her old contacts. With some searching she found a way to get a message directly to Ajihad, secure and safe.
Dear Ajihad,
Tell your master the Red Jewel is sharper than ever, and it's coming.
-Six


Signing the fake name she had told him would ensure he knew who she was, and the Red Jewel would make sure Ferus knew who he was talking about. It wasn't a common nickname for her, only really herself and Ferus acknowledged it. She never rose high enough to be commonly known by a title.
After double checking that only Ferus knew it was truly her, and that the connection was as secure as it could be, she sent the message.

Leaning back on her chair, she stared at her shoddy cybernetic hand. Soon she would be sharper than ever...
Technology would make her strong again...

As the ship headed towards Coruscant, Vi'kas got the message on his datapad. He gritted his teeth, more than a little mad his quarry had escaped him. At least he had left some good scars. The part about the Red Jewel piqued his interest, though. What business "Six" had to do with his fromer master, he did not know. But it was time to figure it out.

Several Hours Later

The ship landed on a private docking bay on Coruscant, right next to the Sith academy. Vi'kas exited the ship, datapad in hand. He was escorted by two Marines, who were dragging the prisoner between them. They navigated the winding halls, finally coming to a stop outside of the training room that [member="Darth Ferus"] usually instructed his pupils in. The Demon's Fist swung open the doors, instructing his men to wait outside. He entered the room, finding the Red Assassin just where he expected him to be. He saw the man training an acolyte in what looked to be Djem-So, and walked up to him. "Sorry to interrupt your training session, but I have a message for you."

[Darth Ferus]

"Mmnnyes..?" Blue eyes impatiently looked over to [member="Lord Ajihad"] , a frown on his lips. He hated being interrupted as he was training others.

Ignoring the obvious pleasure on the Red Assassin's face, he wordlessly handed him the datapad. He watched Ferus carefully, looking for a reaction of some kind. Maybe then he'd know this was about.

As the datapad came to life Ferus read the note. There was a small frown formed before he handed it back to [member="Lord Ajihad"] . "Seems we're going to have more enemies. I'd suggest going to prepare yourself, and leave me to return to this." Slowly he motioned to the student in the room with him, then promptly turned his back on the man.

[Lord Ajihad]

The olive-skinned man raised an eyebrow at the statement. Clearly, Ferus didn't trust Ajihad enough to tell him what was going on. He shrugged, and walked out of the training room. He looked at his two men, and spoke. "Drag him down to the dungeons. I'll interrogate him later."

"Yes, sir!"

With that, he walked to his personal quarters to think about the day's occurances.
