It was terrible that it had come to this. The sun was just setting, and given what they were dealing with....

Terrible.

Aiden had arrived several hours after the attack had commenced. The Karlini government as well volunteers from Naboo were able to isolate and close off the part of the city that was infected. Rogue sith had release the nightmares upon the people of this city. The Rakghoul plague was nothing something to take lightly, the infection, what happened to you once the infection took hold.

There was no going back.

Aiden was dispatched by his father from Naboo, to help bring the city to order as well as ensure those responsible were brought to justice. Luckily the parties responsible were already ascertained. The only issue was now making sure that the sealed section of the city was restored to its rightful state. Which meant disposing of these creatures, and there was even greater danger. The command center was receiving several reports of innocents still trapped and were surrounded by these sithspawn.

There was so much to be done. Aiden knew he couldn't be everywhere. He chose to get a small team together and retrieve those left behind. Many others were providing medical aid, food, shelter to those that were in emotion shock and distress due to the incident.

Many had lost everything, many had lost their families.

The Jedi Padawan stood at the ready near the ship that would get them into the sealed off section, awaiting he rest of the volunteers to arrive.

 

[Alina Grayson]

Among the few volunteers who had arrived to help, Alina stood a fair distance from the ship, currently kneeling beside a pair of wounded guards. Their injuries weren't severe, but she was mending them with the Force, her focus entirely on the task at hand, blocking out any distractions.

She was a striking figure, her golden hair shining like the sun, and her cool blue eyes focused with calm intensity. Clad in white armor trimmed with gold, a royal blue cloak flowed behind her, its hood drawn back. Though young, Alina exuded a quiet strength, her composure and poise reflecting the rigorous training she had undergone.

As the last wound sealed under her touch, Alina rose gracefully, withdrawing her hands from the guards. She offered them a nod and a warm smile before turning her attention to the waiting ship and Aiden. She had been briefed about the mission—they were sending a team in to extract more civilians, and she fully intended to be on that ship.

Though she lacked practical experience with Rakghouls, she understood enough about the threat to know they would need every possible advantage. With steady determination, Alina made her way toward Aiden, ready for whatever lay ahead. She took a look around, sadly there were not many volunteers for a mission like this, still she looked to Aiden with a respectful nod. "Just us and the guard it looks like. I am Alina by the way" she extended a hand toward him and offered a warm smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Alina, despite these circumstance." Aide said as he offered his hand towards her and showed a smile.

Aiden glanced over to those that were accompanying them, the few volunteer guards. The pilot, but he was just there for the initial drop off. The Padawan reached into his pocket and pulled out the small device that soon showed a holographic schematic of the sealed off portion of the city. "The Pilot will here on the roof of this building." The red indicator showing the location. "That's where the first distress signal came from, near the highest floor of the building. If we can get to them in time they will lucky as they will be the first ride out."

Aiden let out a small sigh, as the various other locations were rather scattered, and some were close on ground level.

"The rest will have to gather along the way and head for the rendezvous point. The darkness will help us, but will also help those creatures too. We must be on guard at all times. If there aren't any questions, we should get moving."

Alina studied the holographic schematic, her eyes scanning it as she made a few mental notes while listening to his explanation. A gentle nod of her head indicated her understanding. As she turned, the azure cape attached to her armor swayed gently, the hood resting neatly behind her shoulders.

"We can talk on the way," she said, affirming his urgency while heading toward the transport with Aiden, her cape flowing behind her as she moved.

Once aboard, she glanced back at him. "Tell me what you know about these creatures. Any weaknesses? Do we know how they hunt?" she didn't want to pepper him with questions but the last thing she wanted to do was get into a dangerous situation with inadequate knowledge.

The lifted off towards their first destination and Aiden turned to Alina. "The are dark side creatures, with a hunger for flesh. They are feral mindless creatures, there have bee reports of previous cases that some have evolved and could even use weapons. However there is nothing to report here, that this is the case. They usually travel in packs of four to eight."

Aiden involuntarily shuddered at the thought of the last time he fought against them. "It's something inhumane, born of the darkside."

Aiden glanced around as he knew he wasn't the most experienced individual here. "We have to stay in constant communication and we cannot get separated no matter what. If we can take them out from a distance, that is the best chance. Close quarters as a last resort."
