Cyrion holds up Kheldar, and turns to Ame. "I think we've had a bit of luck. My records indicate these are Jedi knights Tares Vortex and Airleas Lianahan."

 

"We are in trouble. I'm Cyrion, a C 3 droid, that is Ame Mizuyama, and this is Kheldar vos Correlli. To make it brief we found out who CORE's leader is and where they've been supplying their ships. They are after us. CORE's leader took off to their base, but his forces have been on Corellia for some time and are now occupying the planet in force. We need to get ahold of Brell and tell them CORE has a seizable fleet here capible of leveling occupied worlds. We need to hide in the mean time."

Airleas looked at the three and she sensed no malice from them. She looked to Tares and then back at Keldar.

 

"We are going to my family's home. You are welcome to come...uh, my family can hide you pretty well. We have been doing that sort of thing for quite sometime."

 

Airleas got out of the jeep slowly, holding her hand on the wound on her stomach. She let the three into the jeep and climbed back into her seat. Wincing from the pain of moving. Tares reached out his hand and placed it on her shoulder. You should not have left the hospital this soon you were not ready to travel.

 

Airleas glared at Tares for a moment, then softened. "Tares, just get me home. I can rest when I get home. And please stop worrying about me.'

 

She looked at the others, "We should be at my parents home on less then 10 min. I am pretty sure that my father still has an extremely sophisticated communications system there. We can use that."

 

--------

 

Just over 10 minutes later, they arrived at the Lianahan house. Tares got out as did Airleas and let the others out of the jeep.

Cyrion leads Ame inside, still carrying Kheldar. He lays the merchant on a couch and looks over his wounds.

 

"He needs medical attention badly and I don't have the programming for that. He has a blaster shot through his leg, his chest appears to have been cut open. I'm seeing burns there. His right shoulder is dislocated, three ribs appear broken, blood loss, and cuts to the face and arms. He gut roughed up pretty well."

CORE Sub-Director Psi reviewed the CORE battle plans in the heart of the CEC shipyards.

 

"I need those ships moving. CorSec is defeated, though they are moving in on the main base. With our current supply of ships we can route any forces that are gathered at the Maw and set up base here. If that happens, then CORE will not be dislogable. Now," he orders in deadly quiet voice. "I need you to find the Director's guests and eliminate them. I want Agents on every street corner and searching houses. If someone is suspect- kill them."

I'm trying to start a war here. It's a prestigious line of work with a long and glorious tradition.

OOC: AGain...

 

IC: Ame shifted in her seat. She wasn't exactly sure who these people were. Cyrion had spoken the names quickly, and the only part she had really heard was "Jedi." Summoning up her courage, she spoke.

 

"Um, pardon me...um, two things, if you don't mind. One, is Kheldar going to be okay?" She turned her head away from the injured Kheldar. "Two, what exactly is going on? Kheldar...fainted before he could quit explain things..."

"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

As Tares attended Keldar wounds, Airleas made her way into the house. She leaned against the wall and turned to the girl talking.

 

"Keldar will be fine, he'll need a few days to rest most likely and a bacta tank if we can find one but he should be fine. And as for what is going on, I assume that everything that is going on has something if not everything to do with CORE."

 

At that moment Airleas' mother came into the room and went to her daughter. After a few minutes of fussing, Airleas stopped her mother.."I'm fine mom, really. Um, I need to speak with Adrian and Taylor though. And can you help Tares out with Mr. Correlli? He was wounded and needs to hide out. I thought that we could stash him in one of the sub-basements here at the house."

 

Her mother nodded and went to assist Tares in tended to keldar's wounds. Glancing towards a movement in the kitchen, Airleas saw her father standing in the doorway staring at her. Looking down, she knew that he could see her pain but he said nothing.

 

"Dad, this is Keldar vos Correlli, he is going to need a communtications system...We still have it here at the house right?" Her Father nodded and told her to use whatever she needed and they would talk later, and he walked away.

 

"Well Keldar, when your ready, we can set you up with that comm system you wanted."

 

Tares just looked at her knowing that bringing in Adrian and Taylor was not a good idea, she didn't care though, Sly was her husband and she was damn well going to find him. And they were two of the best hunters in the galaxy.

As The Room fell silent, Dex... the manager of the moon, stood inside the doorway with tears in his eyes... he had heard of the news through his parents, and word traveled fast...

 

Dex stood with arms wide open as he hugged Airleas... squizing her... he said he was sorry, as he looked around...

 

"Where is Sly..?"

Tares walked to the jeep and lifted a catch. In it was a pile of weapons, sentry guns, remotes, sensors, and other covert equipment. He moved to the side and hit a button. From the side of the jeep a YVH wardroid unfolded and walked up, "YVH-757 reporting Master Jedi. Perimeter secure and clear, all lifeforms with in a diameter of 1000 meters are being tracked by my sensors."

 

Tares nodded then walked back to the main group, "It should be alittle safer here, just incase CORE shows up, which I hope they dont...."

Reagan brought the ship down on the landing field behind the Lianahan house and lowered the ramp. Both her and Adi exited the ship and headed into the house through the back.

 

Hearing the different voices coming from the livingroom, the two head in to join the family. She heard Dex's booming voice and cringed. Damn, he got here fast, that can't be good. She thought to herself.

 

As they entered the room, Reagan saw the wounded man laying on the couch, and the girl and droid standing near. Mrs. Lianahan was tending him. She knew who he was..Keldar Vos Correlli.

"Am I alive?"

 

Kheldar felt horribly dizzy and a tearing ache ripped across his chest. Taking shallow breaths, he took in his surroundings. He breaths a sigh of relief seeing Ame and Cyrion there.

 

"This would be the Lainahan residence," he inquires, noting the unknown persons resemblence to Airleas, who his commercial contacts informed him of being recently married to Jedi Master Sly.

 

"I own you all one." He stands up and limps over to Ame, wincing slightly at the blaster shot that went into his leg. "I need to confir with Cyrion quickly." Kheldar whips out his organizer and plugs it into Cyrion, downloading the conversations the droid recorded from when he passed out as well as some additional info.

 

"Groovy. I could use a bacta tank, but supplies are scarce. If I could have your attention," he states lying down again, "I think I can give you a complete history of CORE based on the information I found out at the CEC.

 

CORE was ironically a smuggling front about six years ago for a company known as the Corellian Outer-Rim Exports. It worked in skimming a living off trade between the outer rim and central worlds, usually picking at the pieces the Hutts and the Black Sun would throw at them. They were tightly controlled and efficient. Then Jabba and Xizor died and the problems began. Their leader got ambitious and used his network to try and expand to fill their niches. His name was Rinwald Adolphus Dahlmiester.

 

Anyhow that expansion period came to a crashing end. I got personally involved in that after my first wife was killed by an assassin of his- probably also because she was married to him first, but that's not relivant. Anyhow a few smugglers and other entrepanuers ganged up to stop him. To make a long story short, it came down to a high stakes sabbaac game for control of illicit activity in the galaxy. Rinwald was playing one hand, and I was representing everyone else. We played and I drew a loosing hand. It looked like the end, but..."

 

Kheldar pauses to take a deep breath and clear some of the blood out of his throat, "I bluffed. I said I had a winning hand and that he lost. I ordered Rinwald's men to remove him from the room. He lost his temper and drew his blaster. I ordered his men to shoot him." Kheldar pauses, a small smile drawing onto his weary face as if treasuring an long held memory most precious to him.

 

"And they shot him. That should have been the end of it, but here's what I think happened in the next six years. Rinwald's body was stored here on Corellia. He still had men loyal to him and the go through great lengths to find the best scientists in the galaxy to revive him. They found and financed a nanotech specialist to revive him and rebuild his body. That would have been at least 4-6 months after his death. He then makes an offer to these scientists, promising a new order in the galaxy- their technology for power.

 

"They accept. The present CORE is born and Rinwald uses his old channels to spread his network. They dominate the CEC to gain ships, use the nanotech to create their elite agents, and slowly spread out developing their technology. They begin poking around for about say, six months or so, and watch the Commonwealth oust the Sith. It's a rather extreme change of power. They give it a bit, then move suddenly to strike a complacent and secure galaxy and knock it off balance. I can't go into details, but that about sums it up.

 

"Now, they have their shipyards here even though they are headquartered elsewhere. They can do serious damage with those ships. They're probably centered at the CEC shipyards. I can give security details and passes to get in, eliminate their leader here and hopefully stop CORE from moving out before they do a counterstrike while everyone is occupied assualting their headquarters. If I had to guess, Sly's probably found out where they are and gone after Rinwald in person."

 

Tiredly, Kheldar asks Cyrion to repeat that verbatim and send it to the Commonwealth, then falls back asleep, breathing shallowly.

Tares half listened to Kheldar while he dressed up. After he fell asleep he approched Reagan, "Ive brought supplies along, mostly electronic equipment. Some of it is in the jeep outside, the rest is in a pod that looks like a giant rock a few miles to the east. Im going to go out and see what i can find out."

 

With that he walked out of the house and made his way by foot for the closest city....

*Adi-Wan entered the room, and saw the broken and battered Kheldar vos Correlli ... broken ... but not beaten - and heard his words ... he wanted to thank Mr. Correlli all of this time, for his assistance with the Jedi's attack on the Sith ... but had never been in his presence ... ever ... he never even knew what this man looked like ... until now*

 

"Mr. Correlli - i wanted to introduce myself, and thank you for your assistance rendered to the Jedi in the past ... my name is Adi-Wan Tinova ... High Council member of the Jedi Order ... it's an honor ... "

 

*He bowed at the waist, and lifted his head, and extended his hand - shaking Kheldar's with a strong grip*

 

"Tell me ... what is our next move ... ? Have you had time to ponder it, at all ? What is our situation ... "

"*****, you bettah bring me some muh'******' cone-yack, or i'll keeeeeeeeeeeeell, yoooooo"

Dex just takes in all the information as he thinks to himself... turning around he leaves the room, going out to his ship... he opens the cargo bay of his Republic Gunship fighter... inside, His Fathers Rancor Reaper Gun sits inside under a cover... Dex turns around and goes back into the House...

 

Dex goes and sits at the table... still Silent waiting for his brothers to get home...

"It'd be something along the lines of a sneak in, seize the CEC's shipyards, then blow the living hell out of CORE's men, save the galaxy- the usual." A boyish grin fills his face, and his eyes brighten. He almost rises then coughs out a large gob of blood which he spits into a basin before sinking back down.

 

"Damn... I never knew Rinwald could fight, (of course I didn't even know he was alive for the past six years or so till earlier today), but those nanomachines... I got the Sithspit kicked out of me. Thank you very much for giving me a hand Ms. Lainahan. You know that name sounds familiar. We're any of you by chance involved in the old smuggler's alliance about six years back along with Kardde, Booster and the rest?"

OOC: Ame...

 

IC: Ame looked away as Kheldar coughed up blood, but quickly looked back at everyone with quite the odd look on her face.

 

"So...um, I don't get much of this, but Rinwald...is the bad guy, right?" Ame's eyes stared at the ground thoughtfully. "And we have to fight him or else the galaxy is in big danger..."

 

She glanced at Kheldar. "If someone gives me a vibrokatana, I might be able to help...back at Curst, an old friend taught me how to use it. But..." She was suddenly sheepish. "Its been a while, but I could still help a little bit..."

 

Even if Kas'd yell at me if she knew what I was going to do...

Airleas glanced over to Reagan with a knowing look. The two of them were both only about 15 then and had only started helping with the business about a year earlier. But Airleas remembered her father holding meetings here at the house.

 

Booster and Karade were at the house often back then. She looked over to Kheldar, "Yeah, we might have been around back then. I know both Karade and Booster, but Dex may know better. Both Reagan and I were only 15 then, and Dad had only brought us into the business about a year earlier."

*Adi-Wan smiled as Tares entered the room - he felt his presence here ... he knew he was near - and knew he would return soon. He did. As he walked by - towards Kheldar - Adi-Wan followed suit - and strode to where he was sitting. - He waited for Kheldar's response ... but spoke first*

 

"There's got to be something that we can do ... if Tares and I can get inside of the Maw - we're good to go ... we should be able to handle the threat ... however - getting there is the problem ... they could shoot us down before we got within 5 parsecs of her.

 

Is there any weaknesses - some sort of exhaust port that's unshielded - somewhere where a small vessle could sneak in ... granted there's enough ruckus being caused around?"

"*****, you bettah bring me some muh'******' cone-yack, or i'll keeeeeeeeeeeeell, yoooooo"

Kheldar thinks a minute.

 

There's always supply ships going to the shipyards here. You could sneak on one, and..." he taps on his organizer and downloads some information into a datapad. "...here's the codes you should need to bypass security. I don't think they've changed too many of them, but they should get you inside at the very least. You'll also find maps and security details that should still be fairly recent. These are the transport numbers and everything. I'd go with..." he looks down at his blood covered doublet, "but I'm worried I'd slow you down."

 

Cyrion returns with a small wrapped bundle for Ame. Inside is a well made vibro katana.

 

"That was spoil of war taken from the Imperial Palace after the rebellion ended. It has quite a history behind it, but is one of the finest vibroblades I've ever seen. Needless to say it ended up in rebel hands, and I was able to get it on the black market." Kheldar smiles thinly, remembering the good old days.

OOC: Ame.

 

IC: Ame took the vibrokatana's hilt into her hands and swung it around lightly, looking quite experienced with it. She lets it rest by her side.

 

"I always thought I could try and escape from Curst with one of these, but..." She smiled. "I thought better of it."

 

Ame leaned to look at the maps. "I have a pretty good memory...maybe..." She looked back up at Kheldar, her eyes finally showing maturity. "I can memorize them pretty quickly. In case we lose them during battle."

"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Kheldar shakes his head.

 

"Don't worry about the Maw. If that's where CORE is located, then the Commonwealth should be moving out to put them in their place. If the CORE forces here get a command to move out, then I'd fear for them. Take back Corellia, and stop CORE here and now before they can send reinforcements."

 

Kheldar gives Ame a longingful look. "That blade is really sharp. They folded the metal on the outer edge when making it, so you could even use it as a non vibro weapon with deadly ability. There's a cortosis lining so you can match lightsabers with it. Just remember, use it defensively, and above all, be careful... please..." A small tear, unnoticed, forms in the chancellor's eye as he looks on Ame.

*Adi-Wan nodded*

 

"Mr. vos Correlli - It is true that CORE here, on Correllia needs to be detained - eliminated ... however ... there is no guarantee that their facilities here hold the antidote ... the antidote for their virus ...

 

... Master Vortex ... what shall we do, i leave the decision to you ... we can either attack the Maw - in an indirect assault - and retrieve the virus' antidote - saving the Jedi, and force-users that've been infected ...

 

 

... or we can attack CORE here ... saving Correllia .... undoubtedly ... they'll try to go down in a blaze of glory ... i fear that if they're attacked here by large numbers ... that they'll do massive damage to the planet's inhabitants in a suicide death offensive ...

 

Again, i leave the decision to you, Master Vortex ... "

 

*The Jedi stood before Vortex, and vos Correlli - he lowered his head, and closed his eyes ... thinking about the future ... "Too dark ... too clouded ..." - he re-openend his eyes as Tares began to speak*

"*****, you bettah bring me some muh'******' cone-yack, or i'll keeeeeeeeeeeeell, yoooooo"

Tares took in a deep breath and though for a moment. "Logically if the Maw has been discovered by the Commonwealth, which I know they have since I relayed the info, they have launched a strike against it, probably along with the jedi. I think that we can do more here than there, i think we should stay...."

Psi listens to a report.

 

"Excellent. While everyone else is distracted at the Maw we can use a couple Corellian Battleships and lay waste to Coruscant, the Commonwealth/Political Center, and maybe even Sullust if we have time." He concludes. "In the mean time, we have a personal order that the director sent out prior to the seige."

 

Psi looks around at the table. "It seems an old family, the Lianahan's are on Corellia. Our leader remembers them being a part of the smuggler's coalition that stopped CORE in the past. We are to find them and kill them. No capturing, interrogation, or dramatics- kill on site and any with them. Clear? Now I want ten Agents to take speeder bikes. You are to torch the residence and gun down any with in."

 

The Agents move out to perform their assigned task.

I'm trying to start a war here. It's a prestigious line of work with a long and glorious tradition.

Airleas stepped over to look at the information on the hand held that Kheldar had. She looked at Reagan and Dex, and then over to Adi and Tares. "We can use this information. You can stay here and rest we'll handle this here on Correllia."

 

She looked around at the others, and then over to Ame. "You'll come with us. We will need a sixth. Lets get started though, cause it just occurred to me that your droid had my name when we picked you up, correct." Kheldar nodded.

 

"Well, that means that we are in Correllia's central computer. And CORE has access to that I am assuming." Again Kheldar nodded to her. "Well, then Rinwald knows we are here. I for one am not going to sit here and wait for him to come here."

 

Airleas gets the agreement of the others and they start to formulate a plan.

*Adi-Wan nodded - he scanned the room - and looked for anything ... something ... any reason why he felt they were in danger - then quickly pushed it to the back of his mind - a dark rain cloud was forming on the horizon ... the future ... like it, was dark, and ominous ... whatever darkness it would bring ... would not hit until the last minute ... when the least expected it*

 

"Master Vortex ... Airleas ... " he said, thinking to himself, "Perhaps - if the location to your house is stored inside of the Correllian central databases - then ... our whereabouts here, will be comprimised?" He was shocked when Airleas suddenly, and abruptly was overcome with fear - this place was in danger.

 

"Perhaps ... this could be a good spot to be in ... if they attack us here - surely we hold the upperhand - a fortification to make a stand against the CORE here - for the time being ... when, or even if, they do strike - perhaps it would be wise to eliminate the opposition swiftly - and without any noises - as soon as they get here, and we begin a fight - they'll comm the CORE headquarters - and Rinwald will know that we know he's onto us ... it's time to play a game, people ... and we have to keep this quite ... Master Vortex?" - he turned towards Tares, "Do you have any suggestions ... ?"

"*****, you bettah bring me some muh'******' cone-yack, or i'll keeeeeeeeeeeeell, yoooooo"
