Dubrillion

[Duo]

Duo walked about the halls thinking to himself. It didn't take long for his mind to come to rest on the topic of money. He had not been paid yet so he decided to see what the hold up was. He made his way threw the halls looking for Piccolo's office

 

It only took him a little while to find it, he saw the one named shadowfett leaving it. He made his way to the door and knocked on it.

 

"It's Duo, got a few questions for ya." His voice carried threw the hallway. It was an abnormal voice for a man of his looks. It was just a bit higher then it should be and always had a hint of laughter in it like he was on the verge of bursting out laughing.

[handofthrawn]

ShadowFett boarded his modified YT-2000 and headed to the cockpit. "We're going back to Kashyyyk," he told his droid copilot, 2277, who began punching in coordinates immediately. The droid was unique and perfect for its job, the perfect assistant to a bounty hunter like Fett.

 

Soon the Mandalorian lifted his ship off the ground and made for black space, reaching it in only seconds. It was not often that one marvelled at the technology at the disposal of almost everyone in the galaxy. It was simply amazing to be able to break the atmosphere and gravity of a planet in simple seconds. Fett, at the moment, did not marvel at this technology, however, simply following routine with his mind focused on the mission ahead.

 

As soon as he cleared Dubrillion's gravity well, Fett pulled back a pair of levers that started the hyperdrive, pulling him and his ship through a interdimensional wall employing the wrinkles in the fabric of space, causing the ship to disappear, moving at speeds unimaginable to all but a few.

[Luthis Vandren]

Luthis nodded, and spoke.

 

"I'll be in shortly, I'm going to do research on our weapons. So, you know where I'll be."

 

Luthis walked off to the armory, many computers were inside, and it was time to get to work.

[Ki Vastor]

Ki couldn't stand it, he wasn't here and everywhere reminded her of him. She'd wandered into his office, into their bedroom. It was a form of mental torture for her and she was really having trouble dealing with it.

 

Leaving a note for Captain Piccolo, she re-entered the Lady Indiscretion and left for a destination unknown. If she was wanted for anything, they knew the frequency in which to catch her on.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo felt like his office was a revolving door. What he wouldn't give to have Kabal or Smash back. Piccolo told Duo to enter and then motioned for him to sit.

 

"Ask your questions."

[Bad karma]

((><, just shoot me I guess))

 

Duo moved in quickly and too his seat. He shifted around a bit to get comfortable.

 

"Now, I work for you guys to get paid. So my question is simple. When do I get paid?" He spoke quickly as if he had something else to do but in all realty he had nothing else.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo normally addressed such things as wages when the operative first joined. But with all the excitement on Kashyyk, he'd forgot to mention it to Duo.

 

"You have a salary that is sent to an account set up right here on Dubrillion weekly. Every member of the Black Sun has such an account. Normally you'd also have unlimited access to the Black Sun funds for the purchase of weapons, starships, or anything else that would help improve your ability to work as an operative. But unfortunately, with us being short on credits, that has been temporarily suspended. You still can access your regular salary any time though."

[Pinckz]

Will finished the final touches on his neutralization ammo, and he grabbed a gun from the armory in the Black Sun compound, and took it out to the arena to test it.

 

"I hope this works" will said in his head.

 

Will walked out into the center of the arena and grabbed a pill shaped capsul from his pocket and threw it on the floor. In an instant a mobile target dummy apeared. he stood back and shot with the newly installed neutralization ammo from the gun.

 

At the first couple of tries the expiriments were a complete failure (even raising the doses a couple of notches didn't work), but then (after a little remedial tweaking) just as Will was about to give up. (he was all out of target dummies) his ammo finally worked. As he shot the gun he saw the silvery capsule dart out and when it hit the target, the target was no longer mobile.

 

Pleased at his success Will went off to produce more of his newly created ammo.

[Luthis Vandren]

Luthis moved quickly out of the Armory and into the office of Piccolo.

 

"If we are going to execute this plan, we need weapons, but, those are easy to obtain. I think we need allies... more than one."

 

Luthis put his hand on to the back of one of the chairs.

 

"I feel that the Sith aren't going to be as eager to help us as they were in their older days, they seem more... distant, more single-minded then ever. It would be wise to... decieve, if you are getting where I am going."

 

Luthis nodded, he knew Piccolo would want more info, and in due time Piccolo would have it, but for now, Luthis needed to think more of how to go through with this.

 

Luthis wanted to speak alone, with no one listening.

[Piccolo]

"The Sith never were eager to help us. They've left us out in the cold before, and as of now, the Black Sun holds no alliance with them. Any idea you have on deceiving the Sith would not be discouraged from me. But you surely also realize how difficult it is to full anyone with Force abilities."

 

Piccolo was surprised but not angry about this disturbance. Luthis obviously had an important idea forming in his mind, and the truth was, Piccolo was pleased by Luthis's new found enthusiasm. It seemed Luthis was back to his old self.

 

"I did assign you and Jaster to research and purchase the necessary equipment we'd need for an assault on the Jedi Temple. I've already given you permission to purchase anything you think we'll need, within reason. The beauty of this plan is that we wouldn't need help. It will be completely covert."

 

Piccolo suddenly saw a flaw in this concept though. The Republic would be all over them even if they escaped Coruscant. It was all the more reason to hear more from Luthis first.

 

"Sit down, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this further."

[Luthis Vandren]

Luthis took the seat, clearing out his thoughts, and then he began to spill.

 

"With no allies, I still believe we are... well, screwed. I mean, even if we do get past the Jedi Temple, and the Casino, they will know who did it, and they will be breathing down our backs. I think we need to lead them elsewhere. Say... to the Sith."

 

Now Luthis was talking, if they could frame the Sith on 2 seperate attacks, the Jedi would want to attack them, or flee. Either way, the Black Sun would come out on top.

 

"If we did this, the Jedi would follow the Sith, and thereby start attacking. This, could hold to an advantage, we could let the Jedi attack them alone, or we could join them. I believe they could use all the help they can get."

 

If this worked, this would blow a lot of things wacko for the Sith, and anyone involved.

 

"Oh, and don't worry about the weapons, we have those under contol. Trust me."

[Jastah]

*Jaster put a few finishing touches on the list of weapons, formatting it so it looked nice. He brought up the window of his proposed battle plan for the assault on the Jedi temple, and watched the three demensional walkthrough of his plan. He quickly loaded it into another holocube, which he would later make into the training holos. He brought up his Worst Case Scenarios, and loaded them into the holo cube as well. He then took the final sip from his intoxicant and checked his chronometer... it had been 3 and a half standard days since he had slept last. He had not really noticed, the room he was in had artificial lighting that gave no hint whatsoever of the time of day. Not to mention the revolutions of Dubrillion were a bit slower, so the concept of 'day' was a bit off. He grabbed his holocubes and commed Pic's office.*

 

-=Comm: Sir, I need to speak with you as soon as you able. You can reach me on my commfreq. Out.=-

 

*Jaster went back to the waiterdroid and ordered a stim. He downed it quickly, and headed back to his chair. He reclined a bit. He palmed his face with his hands, giving a slow minute to take the stress and mental exhaustion relieve itself before sliding the holocube into place and formatting the training holo sims. Maybe if we make really good training sims before we actually knock the place off, run through every scenario, then we might do our jobs more efficiently. Less loss of ammo, weapons, agents, time, energy, and anything else. He formatted the simulations, playing through the 'game' multiple times to make it better, and tweak out any of the discrepancies. If his plan would be heard out, and taken into consideration, then Black Sun may be able to 'make a name' for themselves... literally.*

[Piccolo]

Piccolo made a mental note of Jaster's comm, he would get to that as soon as possible. For the moment, he returned to his conversation with Luthis.

 

"The Empire will make a deal with us, I'm certain of that. That's one ally. But your proposal for tricking the Jedi like that is very appealing."

 

Piccolo did remember the Sith had repeatedly ignored Black Sun requests for aid when Raynuk was in charge. Ar-Pharazon had been a strong ally, but his leadership of the Sith was gone according to Luthis.

 

Kakuto Ryu has never been friendly since that incident he had with Smash. And the chance of destroying Raynuk are enticing.

 

"The Jedi are not fools, they will know who is attacking them. In fact, I plan to give them some false information ahead of time. They'll no we're coming, but hopefully it will throw them off the trail. However, after the attack is complete there is room to spin it in our favor."

 

Piccolo was forming the beginnings of a plan.

 

"If a strong-willed agent were to be captured by the Jedi, he may be able to convince them the Sith threatened us into doing their bidding. The Jedi are strong in the Force, this agent will have to be very convincing. It would help even more if we could get a Sith to fight on our side. We'll worry about that later, who do you think would be up for such a job as fooling the Jedi? I would say you, I've no doubt of your ability to hold up under questioning, but the Jedi have strong Force methods of detecting lies. Jaster or myself would be the best candidates. We both have cybernetic implants in our brains. It will be difficult for the Jedi to detect whether or not we are lying. What do you think?"

[Luthis Vandren]

"Jaster. You would be perfect, too perfect. If the Jedi caught you, they would know you would be up to something, your too good Pic. And besides, we will need you at the base.

 

Luthis smiled, this would work out nicely, if it worked out.

 

"Now, it would be very easy to be captured, but for his release, this would be the challenging part. Perhaps for getting him out, we would try to form some kind of alliance, this, would then kick into my plan. We would trade... Jaster for the location of the Sith Planet. This, would then let the Jedi attack on free will, and the Sith would not know that their rivals were ready to attack at anytime. Creating a huge rumble throughout the galaxy. Then, the Black Sun would be on top again."

 

Luthis stirred in his seat.

 

"Let's bring Jaster in here, see what he says."

 

Luthis needed to get the spacecorn, this was getting good.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo nodded his agreement, and summoned Jaster to Piccolo's office.

 

"Luthis and I were just discussing a plan to defuse the Jedi's anger after our coming attack and hopefully get long overdo vengeance on the Sith at the same time. Neither of you were here, but while the Jedi were under the command of Raynuk they pledged to help the Black Sun should they need it in exchange for the multiple times we helped them against the Jedi. When the Hutts under Ob Ordeena betrayed us, the Sith were no where to be found, even attacking one of our agents when he sought their aid."

 

Piccolo continued speaking, bringing Jaster up to speed on what they'd already discussed and advising him of his role in this plan.

 

"Should you choose to accept, you would be left behind after we leave Coruscant following our attack. The Jedi will take you as a prisoner, and you will tell them the Sith forced us into perpetrating the attack. You must play the part well, refuse to talk for a reasonable amount of time, you must make it realistic. It is my hope that the implants Smash put into your brain will prevent the Jedi from using too much of their Force influence on you. With luck, they will not be able to tell you are lying. We will bargain for your release in exchange for the location of the Sith homeworld. I think I can convince the Jedi to attack the Sith."

 

Piccolo had another thought as he finished speaking, but he needed to know if Jaster was willing to undertake this mission first.

[Pinckz]

after getting multiple packs made of his newly created ammo Will took them and put them wwith the rest of his equipment. He then went to go and find piccolo just in case he had any jobs for him.

 

So Will set off down the hall after stashing his equipment (and his new ammo packs) in an armory locker.

[Duo]

Duo spoke up after a while of just sitting there quietly thinking. His voice, as always was energitic. "Alright, well do you have any current jobs for me by chance? Its really boring just kind of sitting around doing jack shit."

 

He shifted in his seat adjusting his shirt before looking back up at the man.

[Jastah]

*Jaster stumbled into Piccolo's office, disheveled from the long studying and preparing. He stood there, listening to Piccolo.*

 

"Sir, As you know, I am almost completely resistant to all that Jedi force stuff. My training from my birth was to build up strong mental strength against the force. Then Smash, seeing that it would come in handy had a cybernetic chip, to help me fortify my inner thoughts and will from the Force. And then on top of that, he added another chip to ensure my complete loyalty to Black Sun. If you command me to lie, then it is my order from Black Sun to do so. There is practically no way for the Jedi to break through. And if the chips are ever overridden or destroyed then,"

 

*Jaster tapped his his chest over the place where is multichambered heart resided.*

 

"My heart would breakdown, and my complete body would be destroyed. So if you ask me to do this one thing for you, for us, for Black Sun, then I will be honored and obliged to do so sir. I would be proud to lie to the very people I hate. And hopefully, get the chance to kill a few of the hippies at the same time. So your answer is yes, I would be willing to do this for you."

[Piccolo]

It was exactly as Piccolo had expected. The Jedi would not be expecting someone as resistant as Jaster. Only two other individuals had been made as Jaster had. Piccolo was one, and Artic who had perished many years ago was the other. They would not be expecting this.

 

"It's settled then. I will brief you on what you need to tell them in detail once we're ready to depart."

 

Piccolo was starting to get a bit nervous. Fett should have returned long ago.

 

"We can't make our next move until ShadowFett comes back. If either of you have any more ideas, now is the time."

 

Piccolo pressed a button on his console summoning Avion Will and Duo to his office as well.

[Ki Vastor]

Sober for the first time since Kabe's demise, Ki brought their ship back down to the Black Sun base. On the way, Ki had refocused her direction, gone through her memories and written down all she could remember about what she had seen of the Jedi Temple's defenses while she'd been in the Upper Levels in her drunken stupor.

 

With a datapad in hand regarding all she had seen, Ki made her way to Captain Piccolo's office, knocking on the door and requesting admittance.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo pressed the button on his console, opening the door. He was surprised to see Ki standing there. From their last encounter, he'd thought she'd be gone a lot longer.

 

Perhaps she will be available to help us out with all this.

 

Piccolo spoke to Luthis and Fett.

 

"You guys keep thinking on that. I'll be back in a moment."

 

Piccolo asked Ki to follow him into an adjacent room. The door closed behind them.

 

"What do you need?"

[Pinckz]

Will came into the room Piccolo had summoned him into and sat down. He fidgeted with some other gadgerts he had just started on and he had not yet determined what they would be yet ,but he had a ision in his head.

[Duo]

Duo calmly walked into the room, his hair swaying behind him as his eyes took in everything. He looked to the man already inside the room that Piccolo had summoned him too and nodded his head in acknowledgement.

 

He took his seat, knocking his hair over the side so it was out of the way. ”œSo”¦uh”¦Hows it going?”

[Ki Vastor]

((sorry forgot to check this one))

 

Ki followed Pic into the other room, handing him the datapad.

 

"It's more of what I have for you and what you would like me to do Captain. This datapad contains information of a visual reconnaissance of the Jedi Temple. Only from the entrance side of it. I will admit I was... under the influence when I was there, though it's a fairly accurate description of what I could see."

 

She stood waiting for the good Captain's opinion.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo was pleasantly surprised. They had a few secondary observations of the Temple on hand, but nothing like this. It wasn't the ideal basis for an attack, but it was better than what they'd gathered so far. Piccolo had a few new ideas for the attack now, he put them aside for later.

 

"Excellent work, I can only imagine what you would have been able to get if you'd been sober."

 

Ki had asked what she could do. Piccolo had something in mind, but it was quite dangerous.

 

"I sent Fett to the Empire stronghold on Artus, and I've not heard from in far too long. Fett's mission was simple, and it should not have taken him much time. I don't want to send a transmission from here in case the Empire traces it. Perhaps you could go to another planet and send a transmission inquiring to the Empire's forces on Artus as to the whereabouts of ShadowFett? I cannot fathom the Empire turning against us after years of an alliance, but I made the same mistake with the Hutts before. If they've had a change of heart they may decide to attack your location or try to take you prisoner."

[Ki Vastor]

Ki's face lit up, she would actually be doing something that didn't involve memories of Kabe.

 

"I can do that for you Captain. I don't mind the danger."

 

She would choose her location well. Far from the Black Sun base. She nodded to the Captain before heading on her way. Entering the Lady Indiscretion she ran through the checks before lifting off and heading to an unknown location.

[Piccolo]

Piccolo watched Ki leave before returning to his office. He noticed Duo and Will had joined the others.

 

"We are awaiting Fett's return now, so we're kind of at a stagnant point in our plans against the Jedi. I just wanted to know if either of you had any last minute suggestions or questions about this operation. I don't mean questions about the details of the plan, you'll be filled in on all that later."

[Duo]

Duo rubbed his chin as if in deep thought, when in reality he was thinking of that hot piece of tall he met at that one club a few weeks ago”¦He ”œthought”

[Piccolo]

"We have no ysalamiri. We'd have to take a trip to Myrkr to acquire some. The danger is great, the planet is populated with vicious Vornskyr."

 

Piccolo had only been there once. The Vornskyr had proven no problem for him and he knew all of these agents could handle them. But it was necessary to emphasize the danger.

 

"Why don't you head up a unit to Myrkr Duo? Even if this plan falls through, ysalamiri could prove useful at a later date."

[Duo]

He nodded his head in approval, it shouldn't be to hard to get some of the stuff. After all, what could go wrong? ”œSounds fine to me, how many men am I to take, how much of it do you want me to try and get, and anything else I should know about the place before I go?”
