The Light Within the Darkness

His mission seemed to be rather complex in nature, and perhaps dangerous as well. He liked it, to sum up how he felt. A challenging mission off-world would provide him with ample opportunity to train his own abilities the old-fashioned way, as well as leaving the planet to satiate that wanderlust pent up inside of his boy.

Vrak intended to turn Athiss into a military power once he was in charge of things. Such a plan was quite the obvious for any despot worth their salt. No war was won off of intellect alone, no matter how smart the minds. And having the ability to modify ships with an advanced stealth technology would indeed come in handy, especially if he could benefit by retrofitting his own starfighter with such technology as well.

Offering a bit a of a soft smile, mostly out of excitement of the smile, it was a rare occasion to see him showing even that much positive emotion on his face other than a smirk. "Good. I shall have it completed once i've reviewed all the intel." He reviewed the holo-device for a few moments before removing a datapad from his pocket and linking a cable between the two.

A few buttons pressed and the information regarding their mission would begin to transfer into his own device. "Am I taking this mission alone?" He'd ask, curious as to whether or not Vrak had tasked him with a solo mission of that much importance. Perhaps the Sith had no other choice if that was the case, but he wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't taking it alone.

While he was curious as to whether or not he could succeed on such a harrowing task, he was nonetheless willing to try without hesitation. The plans to the stealth fighter were crucial to Vrak's overall goal, and that one factor could potentially cause everything from that point forwards to either succeed or fail.

With a chime, the datapad would signal it had finished the data transfer, and soon the pad and cord found its way back onto Kel's utility belt. It would take no more than a good hour or two of planning before he'd be ready to take on the mission with confidence.

”No.” Vrak said simply, turning away from the datapad and Kel to look at one of the windows.

Just outside one could see the starport, or what passed for it here on Athiss. The building was a crumbling ruin really, much like many of the old tombs that dotted the world. This was half done on purpose though. Most of Athiss had been designed to simply look...dead. If a passing observer moved through the system they would find only ruins, or that was the idea.

Vrak would soon change this.

”You'll be going with one of my servants.” He had plenty. ”I don't doubt your abilities, but he will ensure your success.”

Of course, what he did mention was that this particular servant was...well himself.

Vrak didn't often travel off world, or rather he tried not to, but when he did it was most often in the guise of one of the acolytes much like Kel. This was mostly done for his own amusement, though there was another aspect to it. The Council did not approve of Purebloods wandering off Athiss all too often, lest they trigger some sort of alarm the Jedi have in place.

It made sense in an odd sort of way, hence the disguise.

Perhaps he would tell Kel the truth in time, though for now the mask and armor he wore would be enough to disguise him from the man when the time came.

"Ah." He said, the look on his face softening a bit as their meeting slowly began to draw to a close. He wouldn't be going alone on this task as predicted, but such was of little issue as far as he was concerned. He might've been Sith now, but he'd never not unlearned the values of teamwork and having another to watch his back from his days working for the Hutts.

Yet he couldn't shake the surreal feeling of what he was getting involved with himself. He'd come to Athiss simply to reach his own limits to his power, but now he was drawn deep into a conspiracy to completely topple the hierarchy of the planet itself.

Whether or not their little group would be successful was yet to be seen, but he'd do everything in his power to further their goal. "If that'll be all, i'll be taking my leave back to my quarters." With a final nod, he'd begin making the trek back towards the initial doors which led into the room.

Turning back towards Vrak, he'd opened his mouth to speak once more. "Oh, by the way-- Try not to get yourself killed before I get back, yeah?"[He let out a bit of a chuckle, the edge of his lips curling into a smirk before he pressed the panel which caused the doors to open. The two Sith outside would take notice of this development, and soon he was being escorted back to those dreaded Acolyte quarters that were barely livable.
