Faction Victoriam [Empire of the Lost / Order of the Sith Lords]

[Maldor Mecetti]

​

Maldor felt his blood run cold in his veins as the voice spoke.

He glanced towards the Assistant Warden beside him, and then looked up the hall, where the sounds of active combat were intensifying.

"We are locked in," he struggled to keep fear out of his voice, "I can satisfy your first requirement, but not your second."

He looked to the Assistant Warden again, who was shouting at the cameras by the exit to this block.

An exit now secured against escape until the threat was dealt with.

"Maybe if your mind was as keen as your reach, you'd have had a better plan for whatever is happening in there." In his fear and frustration, he'd turned to the haughty insults of a Mecetti Lordling. Barking at a blackmailer might not be the wisest thing to do, however.

The Assistant Warden stopped shouting at the door, and turned to Maldor. He'd heard an odd snippet on Maldor's end of the conversation, and gears were beginning to turn behind his eyes. That would not do.

Maldor frowned, frustrated and afraid. What the hell had he gotten himself into? Was this the NISB? If so, and they wanted a prisoner out of this prison, why not simply order it? If they didn't want the prisoner out, why stop Maldor from confronting them? What was going on, here?

Well, he couldn't wait any longer. He had to handle the man beside him before he figured out Maldor was involved in some sort of conspiracy regarding this escape attempt. A conspiracy that even Maldor himself did not understand.

He spoke to the Assistant Warden loudly enough for the monitoring camera microphones to pick it up, "You are a pathetic excuse of an administrator for this prison. I am terminating your employment."

There was a flash of red. A look of astonishment. And the Assistant Warden slipped to the floor, one final rattle emanating from his throat before he found his final stillness. The smell of cooked flesh filled the air.

Maldor looked up at the camera beside the exit. "This is Lord Moff Mecetti speaking to whoever is monitoring these events in the surveillance booth." He was still only an aspiring Moff, but that was a detail he would not emphasize at this time, "I am taking Command of this facility immediately, under the orders of the Unseen Emperor

Open this door, Now, or I will open it myself."

He recalled what the dead man had said just before this unfortunate series of events: There was a phrik alloy in the structure of this wing. It would take a good long while for him to cut through anything here, even with the glowing red light-foil he held in his right hand.

"If I have to open the door myself," he warned, "I will be terminating additional employees of this facility."

What would they think of his claims? Of his foil? Of the dead Assistant Warden? He had no idea. He was walking off of the edge of a cliff, and hoping that gravity would hold itself in abeyance.

Ignoring Maldor's insults Alicia turned her attention to saving the recording of the Assistant Warden's murder. Another avenue of blackmail and coercion of the Mecetti had now found it's way into her hands. But there was no time to be satisfied with this for the prison escape was well under way, and although Maldor did not understand what was going on yet, he had now presented him as a means for Cain Sevu's escape. Working her hands eloquently across the keyboard in front of her Alicia sliced into the colonies control systems and intervened with the emergency transmission that someone had just tried to send out.

Next, Alicia sliced the control doors that prevented Maldor from taking control of the facility. As the doors opened the same distorted voice spoke from the commlink: "Good, Maldor, good. You have chosen your side well. The path to the control centre of this facility is now open. Use them to redirect the colonies forces away from the escapee and, of course, leave no witnesses alive."

Unexpectedly to both of them Alicia had secured a powerful ally in the escape attempt but everything still rested on Uriel's shoulders. Turning her attention away from Maldor Alicia laid her eyes back onto the security feeds where Rykard had engaged Agent Nera'kas. As Sevu joined in on the fight Alicia truly wondered if the man had it in him to pull this off...

In the surveillance room, the Stormtroopers overheard and paid attention to the communique from Moff Maldor Mecetti. Two Troopers at the control panels, while the Commander of the watch stood against the wall. "This is SP-020," he grinned underneath the helmet, "command acknowledged, the command room is under your authority at this time, Moff Mecetti. Opening doors now..." The Troopers reported someone was messing with the controls, so the Commander played off the next action as a malfunction. "Please hold, we're having internal alarms going off. Someones hacking into our system!" The Commander wanted to laugh, this was all far too convenient for him, he hasn't even really lifted a finger this whole time. Whoever was messing with the doors absolutely got through, the Commander and the two Troopers were unconcerned about it. But what was to happen next.... would be a riot.

By now the doors had already completely opened, but the Commander played it off like he was still in control, "Doors should be open now, Moff Mecetti," The doors would absolutely be opened..... now. Every cell door in the entire prison opened up, and most command-locked shackles that could be disabled from the command room were also disabled. The Prison Colony on Stygeon Prime just became an anarchy, as prisoners ranging from petty criminals to absolute Sith Spawn were released, with all secure doors being simply opened or unlocked. By the time the Commander told the Moff the doors would be opened, he had left the command room. The two troopers that remained had sealed the Command Room due to the 'malfunction,' and started reporting to all personnel.

Attention all Personnel! Attention all personnel! The Prison Colony's systems have been spliced into, please seek shelter immediately! Riot Troopers report to ALL cell blocks! I repeat, all cell blocks!​

 

[Cain Sevu]

Cain was met with searing heat the moment she made contact with her would-be victim. Her hands snaked away with a silent growl, raw electrical burns spanning the length of her palms. The pain proved a futile deterrent, only managing to stoke her anger further. The knife to the throat however was much much more effective in its aim.

The girl reeled back at the last moment, the blade crucially missing her jugular and leaving a non-fatal cut in jagged lines down her collar bone. Crimson blossomed from the wound and Cain found herself reflexively bringing a hand up to stem the flow, silent and unreactive. Her eyes blinked up at woman a moment later as if verifying the source.

Before she could decide on a determinedly violent response, a chorus of whirring doors interrupted the brawl. Inmates from all levels added to a rising voice of confusion and sudden hysteria. Cain canted her head over at Uriel as inquiring if this was somehow his doing, or by extension Alicia's.

Either way, staying put seemed ill-advised. Cain decidedly wanted out. She could grab a meal to go.
