Akira didn't show fright on the outside, but she was unnerved by the droid. She waited to see what would happen. It turned out that the dark side droid was Kit's servant. Akira nodded to the droid, removed her back pack, and took out the baby crab and the cloak, handing them over. Second, she looked in the box, then read the datapad. Finally, noticing that the pack was too heavy, then drew out two lightsaber hilts. But weren't they left back on the Basestar? Akira eyes Yumi.
Don't tell me we were using lightfoils. No, When we got to the room and I had the pack on before the other droid intruded on us, I switched your lightsabers with those lightfoils. I don't wanna know how you got a hold of them. Keep it to yourself. Droid, can you transfer the credits to my bank account, please? First, though, brief me on the next mission Kit has for me.[/b] She had respect for droids, but she didn't know the droids name or number, so she was stuck calling it droid.[/center][/sub]

Ash's Venator-class star destroyer jumped out of hyperspace above Zeltros, looking down over the planet from the bridge Rune was impressed by Ash's ship. Rune could sense something down below, though it looked peaceful and normal. It was the same feeling he got on Coruscant with the others, there were Jedi down there, or something like them. Rune ordered the crew to enter the atmosphere, but just barely, to hold their altitude at 50,000 feet. Rune began strapping a small chrome looking square around his lower back, hooking up around his torso and a strap around his waist."You, I'm leaving you in charge. Your mission, return to Captain Ash back on Coruscant and do not inform him where I've gone. Understood?! Lower the loading hatch."Rune said. He proceeded over to stand beside the hatch, once fully open he let go of the rail he had been holding on to and was sucked out of the ship; now free falling through the atmosphere and the clouds. He twisted and flipped in the air, controlling where he was going by how he moved his body. Once he hit 5,00 feet he activated the chrome looking device he had strapped to his back, it seemingly began to transform outwards, creating a small pair of metal wings with a small booster engine in the center to lessen the impact of falling. Rune glided down toward the estate. Once he was fifty feet above the ground the pair of wings folded up, Rune falling to the ground his combat boots beginning to change into pure metal boots. Landing with a hard thud, dust flew up around him as his boots transformed back into regular issue boots. He unstrapped the chrome device from his back and threw it to the ground, walking toward the building in front of him.

The Spyglass slowly descended into the Zeltros atmosphere. It headed straight for the landing pad near Kitana’s family estate. The ship touched down softly and the two girls walked off towards the building. ”Kit, I am so sorry I was not there. I missed everything because I became too preoccupied with my own life.” She continued to hold Kit’s shoulder.
Kitana only smiled. ”It is in the past. I am just glad I did not loss you also. Come on. I got a bottle of Corellian Whiskey calling out name. How do you handle your licker?” Kitana smiled, she knew the answer. Both of the girls laughed as they walked into the house. Elisa could not hold her licker, when in college she had drunk way too much and spent the next day worshiping the porcine goddess.
Meanwhile in the Omega Group’s Base of Operations the warbot looked at Akari stangely. “My designation is RE-1138 and no I cannot ma’am. As you should know, the Omega Group cannot be officially linked with the Empress so all transactions are done none electronically.” The droid then froze and twitched its head. “The master has returned. You may go get your mission from her. She is in the house itself.” The droid slowly turned and walked towards the turbolift. It would report to its master.
Meanwhile back up in the study Kitana was sitting on a couch with Elisa. Kitana had a cup with the gold whiskey in it while Elisa had a cup of ice water. ”You know how I found you? Kitana stated to Elisa.
Elisa looked at her strangle as she took a drink. ”No, the last thing I remember for waking up in a fish tank was thinking freezing to death was a far better way to by the suffocation.” Elisa smiled half cocked, it was a rather bleak thought, but it was not so bad looking back knowing how it ended.
Kitana smiled, ”Always the finding that silver lining. It was through the Force.” Kitana took a drink and then continued. ”I can feel it flowing through you. We developed a special bond when we were kids. I can show you who to feel it also. With it the possibilities are limitless.” Kitana watched Elisa’s reaction. If her illusion had worked right, she would be a little hesitant to take up on her offer, but could be persuaded.

As Rune walked toward the estate he saw someones ship fly over his head and land nearby, more then likely on the landing bay. He deems it safe to keep approaching the house not sensing any danger right away, he walks up to the doorstep, expecting a blaster in his face as soon as he knocks. He raises his fists and gives three good solid knocks to the door and takes a step back from it, waiting for somebody to answer. Not even sure of what he is going to say.

An older Zeltron male open the door. "I am sorry, but the Empress Kitana does not want to be disturbed unless it is necessary government business." The man looked Rune up and down before continuing. "What business do you have with her Majasty?" The old man waited to hear if the man was here looking for a job with the Omega Group. If he was, Omega Group protocols dictated he had been in contacted with an Omega Group associate and knew what to say. The old man expected it he was just a bagger looking for a handout by the way he was dress.

Hehe, of course, how could I have forgotten?
Akira laughed weakly, slightly ashamed of herself for letting her mind slip over that little variable. She rubbed the back of her head, a habit she picked up years ago, until the droid told her its designation and that Kit was back. Akira couldn't help the smile.
Thanks. See ya later, 11.
Akira shortened the droids name as she and Yumi ran to one of the turbolifts. She was interested in getting her next mission, so she hurried. The turbolift ride didn't last long, and she was at the estates ground floor. She and Yumi walked slowly to Kits study, and opened the doors. Because she didn't see Elisa, Akira was being obnoxious when she walked in.
Hey you royal pain-in-the-assness, good to see you...... back......
Akira's face turned a bright red when she took notice of the other person, and she slowly started walking out the door's again. Yumi giggled at Akira, and pulled her back in. As they got closer, Akira became brighter.
I don't think she noticed your friend, Mam. Hello, I am Yumi. [/color][/center][/sub]

"I believe the Empress Kitana can help me find the answers I seek, answers to the Force,I can join your Omega Organization in exchange for such aid from your Empress. If I might simply be granted a moment of her time, to explain why I have come here,"Rune explained to the Zeltros. He hoped what he just said would be enough to get through the door, he really didn't feel like fighting his way in right now.

The old man looked at the man. "I am sorry; the Empress is not associated with the Criminal Organization known as the Omega Group. To insinuate that is treasonous." The old man slammed the door in the face of Rune. He knew he was not to announce to anyone that Kitana was in charge of the group. For all he knew, this man could have been a reporter.
Meanwhile back in the lounge Kitana laughed. "Akari, this is Elisa. She is a freind back when I was a child." Kitana took another drink.
Elisa got up and extended her hand. "Elisa Sedna. It is nice to meet you Akari. How do you know Kit?" Elisa smiled. She was always interested in meeting someone knew. A stranger was a friend you do not know.
Kitana looked at Akari, ”What can I do for you Akari?’ Kitana downed the rest of her drink and walked back over to her desk to pour her another one.

Um..... Um...... Sorry, Kit. I think she cant think clearly due to her embarrassing herself.
Yumi elbowed Akira in the ribs, not too hard, but enough to knock her out of her stupor. After a dark glare to Yumi, Akira shook Elisa's hand. She was still a bright red, but this time, when she tried to speak, she succeeded, but was quiet with it. Yumi had to repeat a couple of words more clearly.
Nice to meet you. I known sense I started my new life away from the jedi. Uh... Kit, we just got back from our mission and we are ready for our next one.
When Akira started talking to Kit, her voice became stronger, but her eyes kept wandering to Elisa, keeping her face red. Yumi sat down on the couch, relaxing and keeping up a human appearance.
Sometimes I wish I was organic so that I can enjoy what you do. Oh well, at least I can go for much longer than Organics. One up for me. Hehe. That was mainly to get Akira to smile, and she did bring out a small one at Yumi being a wise-ass. [/center][/sub]

After getting the door slammed in his face Rune steps back for a second and looks up the clouds, throwing his hands in the air. Can't anyone ever just cut me a break,gaw"He says to himself. He brings his right leg up and slams it into the door, with all of his weight behind it, kicking the door down. He begins to walk into the estate, just noticing a hallway as soon as he enters. He shouts through the estate, "Sorry about the lousy doorman! I haven't come here looking for a fight! I need to learn to control the Force!"Rune shouts.

As Kitana finished pouring her glass, she heard the alarm go off. Someone had forcefully opened a door. She used the Force to open the top door of the desk and summoned out Selene's lightsaber. "You two stay here. RE, watch of Elisa." Kitana walked out the door and RE closed it behind her. He stood ready at the door with a vibroblade.
As the door closed Kitana vanished into the Void. Elisa looked shocked as the door closed. "How did she do that?" There was no response from RE and Elisa was wondering what was doing.
Kitana ran through the Void, only popping out for a few seconds in order to collect herself so that she would not be trapped in the Void. As she rounded the corner to the entryway she vanished into the Void. She then maneuver herself down the hall and behind Rune. She then reappeared with the dark core silver lightsaber just centimeters from the back of his neck. "Give me one good reason why I should not cut your head off." Kitana said with a discussed tone. She did not need the saber to kill him, but it was a much more effective intimidation tool the saying she was going to kill him with her bare hands.

Rune recognized the low humming sound that was coming from behind him, though he couldn't explain how the female got the jump on hi, he proceed slowly and picked his words carefully. "I could be of use to you,to whomever can teach me in the ways of the Force, I felt this estate from space, there are other sensitives here, I simply need to be taught how to use the Force, M'Lady, I apologize for the door." Rune said in a polite gesture. He hoped he wouldn't end up in a kolto tank again, he couldn't stand another failure.

Kitana did not lower the blade as kicked Rune in the back of the knees. She made sure she applied enough for that his legs would give out and he would fall to his knees. "We will see. The more you struggle, the more damage that will be done." Kitana reached out in the force and gently started to drain the knowledge from Runes mind. The darkside swirled around the room. As it did the bits of information in Rune's mind were extracted and sent to Kitana. She pulled more and more of the information from his mind, insuring that she did not miss anything that could be important. If he did not resist the probing of him mind or try to conceal anything, there would be no memory loss but the more he resisted the power the more damage it did to the mind.
After about thirty seconds Kitana took a step back and deactivated the lightsaber. She now knew why he came to her. He was unable to cut it as one of Cain's Jedis and had no place left to turn. She also realized that his linage could make him a valuable asset if she could bend him to her will. "I will instruct you in the way of the Force, but what do I get in return. How do I know you will remain loyal?" Kitana was blunt. She knew the way of most these type of failures. They wanted to learn to show the person that rejected them that they were strong enough; but this did not breed the loyalty that she desired. Should the Zeltros Empire ever expand, she would need all the loyal force users she could get.

Rune almost felts her fingers within his mind, touching his brain, it was somewhat painful. Though he didn't fight it much after the first few seconds, after she was done he picked himself up off the ground and turned around to speak to her. "I have no reason to bite the hand that feeds me, M'Lady."Rune said to her bluntly.

Kitana looked at him. "You are naive, how sweet." She looked the man up and down again. She could use someone like him in the Omega Group but how to control him. She searched his memories to find what he desired most. She his life with the Tuskan raider, and could even remember the illusion of control he had felt. This illusion of power is his weakness and she would exploit it just like the others. He may be a Cain's Jedi washout, but with special attention he could be her slave instead.
Kitana finally spoke again. "Come with me, I will show you the way to achieve a measure of control. First I need a drink." Kitana walked pass him back up to the lounge. She held up her hand telling RE to stand down. She walked over to desk and picked up her whiskey. She then tossed the saber then pulled out a crystal from her desk and tossed it and the saber over to Elisa. "These are for you. An old beacon of light used them before her own death. Anyways. This is Rune Forebear and he is joining our little organization as a Clerk. He has said he wants to learn to use the Force and I am going to instruct him. Akari, would you like to join us, your mission can wait until." Kitana stood with her drink waiting for a response.
Elisa looked at the crystal and the saber. She pushed the button down and the blade extended. The soft hum of the silver blade with the black core was relaxing and the silver hilt felt good in her hand. As she looked at the cyrstal, she could feel it inside of her. It felt like it lifted her spirit and there was a little goodness trapped within it. She deactivated the saber and looked at Kit. ”I am in, but you already knew that.” Elisa put the crystal into her jacket pocket so that it was close to her heart. It just made her feel good with it so close.
