Akira listened as Kit told them at how useful telekinesis could be, rather in a fight, or doing something pointless like bringing a drink to them. She bowed slightly as she made her exit to meet the one who was here, and walked away from Rune as he called after her. Akira walked to where Elisa was and knelt down by her.
Hey, don't worry about not getting it right off the bat. It was really hard for me to get it at first, so just don't give up and push yourself. Rune, I can feel he will mess up with something here soon. Call it precognition if you want.
She smiled and giggled a little before standing up and started for Rune. She wanted to clear some things with him before he decided to learn it the hard way. She stopped a few paces from him, almost looking through him.
Listen up, Rune. It doesn't matter if you are ready or not. You are posted under me, who is only under Kit. I have second most power in this little organization. Now, while on duty, you will refer to me properly. I am not your good friend, yet, so no child names, either. Maybe once we are en-route can you use my name. Now, get your stuff ready. We leave in half an standard hour.
Ash turned away from Rune bringing up a comlink to her lips. She had it tuned to Kit's droid so that she wouldn't disturbed her while she met with the new one here.
11, What ships do we have at our disposal, and please give me a quick rundown at what Kit wants us to do. I will have Rune give me the better details once we are away, and have my droids transferred to the flagship.
Akira's aura changed from that of a young, playful woman to someone who wouldn't take crap from anyone on a mission. It was too much like someone both she and Rune knew. [/sub]

In all honesty Rune found this woman hilarious, he had simply asked her if she was coming and she felt the need to explain her position above himself. It wasn't like he really cared though, for now it may be true he was at the bottom of the totem pole, but he knew it wouldn't be that way forever. He grabbed his vibro-sword and placed it at his waist underneath the cloak he was wearing. "Whatever you say boss,"Rune said with a smile, almost letting the word babe slip out instead of boss. He knew it would upset her, and thus it was the reason he did it. Rune turned away from Akira, noticing the star fighter he planned on taking, the disk he had would probably change the transponder codes on the fighter anyway to match that of the Black Sun. The cockpit was already open as Rune walked toward it, though he wanted to test his new abilities, he used Force Jump. Leaping up into the air toward the fighter, landing inside the cockpit, quickly sitting down he activated the engines and flipped a few switches before looking back over his shoulder to Akira. "Don't wait up Akira."He said with a grin. The hatch on the cockpit coming down over him. Rune brought the ship off its landing gear and flew it out of the hanger-bay. >>To Nar Shaddaa>>

Hutch felt a little rushed as he was brought inside to the study. He looked around at the ornate desk and the computer terminal and the fancy data sticks around the walls. He didn't know if he liked reading or not. He'd have to give it a try some time.
When Kitana answered he gave her a once over before snapping back to reality. "I wasn't actually looking for a job. The smoking man just told me to come here. I figured it was for a job but nobody mentioned any kind of payment."
Hutch pulled the cigarette out again and put it in his mouth. "is it alright if i smoke in here?"

Elisa looked up at Akari and just shook her head. ”I am not concern with not getting it. I did not just get general medicine right of the bat, I went to college first. It was just being connected to Kitana. Something about her at that most basic level bothered me and I don’t know if I can tell her. She is still my best friend and I worry about her.” Elisa put the crystal back in her pocket and pulled out the lightsaber again, tossing it from one hand to the other. ”Don’t worry about me; I am just rambling to myself. I have always been able to figure out problems. I just need time to recover from the experience. Good luck on your mission Akari.” Elisa looked at the saber as she tossed it from hand to hand. Elisa thought about what she had felt while connected to each person, wondering if she could help guide them through such a connection. Maybe she could help Kitana through her loss and fix what was wrong with her through such a connection. She would spend a good deal of time on the floor thinking to herself.
RE-1138 looked at Akari and handed the datapad which he was originally going to give her before Kitana trained her. "Masters orders are the same. Your mission is the other halve of Clerk Forerunners mission. You are going to break into Black Sun Vigo Mepos Zil’s Estate and plant evidence supporting that the Black Sun arranged the hit on Kappa the Hutt. You and should you require; your holodroid, while infulatrate the Vigo’s estate, hack into his computer system, plant the data on the pad and steal ten thousand credits from his safe. Then you are to break into the security room of his place and alter the security feeds to make it appear you were never there.” The droid then retrieved a second pad and handed it to Akari. “This is the biographical data on Mepos Zil along with blue prints of his estate. You may use any ship you wise from the Espinoge Fleet for this mission, but may I suggest a Spyglass corvette for its hacking systems. Good luck.” RE waited to see if Akari had any questions he may be able to answer before heading back to normal base operation duties.
Meanwhile back in the study, Kitana smiled. “Smoke away. I smoke Cigars in her all the time. Anyways, back to the heart of matters. I can sense the great skill, so I am giving you the rank of Navigator in the Smuggling Group which has a starting salary of a thousand credits a week. Aside from the salary, should you perform beyond expectations on a difficult or extremely long mission I also give bonus. These vary from a few hundred credits to several thousand credits.” Kitana reached around her desk and pulled out a bottle of Corellian Whiskey and two glasses. “Then of course you have access to the Omega Groups facilities, including the hanger, armory and machine shop to fuel, arm, maintain and upgrade your vessels. So should we drink to you being the newest member of the Omega Group.” Kitana had already poured two glasses and smiled. She was not sure if Hutch drank, but she figured she would offer to him. She had a good feeling about him and felt her would be one of the best smugglers that the Omega Group would have.

Thanks, 11. Could you have a spyglass prepped for me in 15 minutes with two fighters and a dragoon?
Akira didn't wait for 11's conformation and just left. She headed up to the main estate building to where she would find Yumi, who was perhaps screwing around with one of the guards. Akira signed and grabbed the droid's shirt, dragging her backwards.
Time to go, Yumi. Ow, no need to pull so hard. What are you talking about, you cant feel pain. Now, shut up and lets get this over with. I'll tell you whats going on on the trip.
Akira went back to the hanger, loaded up in one of the spyglass's, and headed off for Nar-Shaddaa. [/sub]

Paige returned to Zeltros with Kayen though she was taking the lead coming down in a overly flashy and stylish way-Having a Raptor fly down to the planet and while in the air she drove off in a FC-20 speeder bike, Though the landing was a Little difficult doe to not having enough open space she did however manage to find a place to land in one of the open streets-and the reason for all this was she didn't want to wait-from there she headed to the Omega Group Base of Operations where she would report the happenings at Terra and get ready for her next assignment.
Once at the compound Paige left the bike out front and move to the primary part of the house, Where after a brief conversion with the guard who was kind enough to tell her where to find the empress, Inside Paige walk to the study to find Omega or more well known as Kitana talking with another man clearly in a meeting-Something the guard neglected to mention-Paige stayed back waiting for Kitana to finish talking with the man.
(OOC: just so you know i had to move on without Kayen not sure when he'll be back.)

Hutch lit the cigarette and started taking short puffs as he listened to her talk. He was surprised that she was just giving him a salary. Smugglers usually got paid by the job, not by the hour. But if she wanted to pay him 1000 a week for what was primarily a sitting job, he wouldn't complain.
"Ok." He simply said accepting the glass from her and downing it. he might have tried to hold out for more. given his gift for disguises he figured he was probably worth a lot more, but he was happy with the arrangement.
"When do i start?"

<<From The Dagobah System<<
The rescue of Akira, Yumi, and Rune had been successful though cut close. The Intrepid jumped out of hyperspace above Zeltros, and Rune walked to the bridge overlooking the planet below. He clipped the lightsaber to his waist, opposite the vibro-sword, in the back of his pants was still the disruptor. Once he fixed the saber he would throw the vibro-sword away, but possibly keep the disruptor. Once the ship entered the atmosphere Rune went to a single person air lock and pressed a button on his belt, a chrome looking backpack morphed out from his belt. He pressed a button on the wall, and the hatch slid up sucking him out into the clouds. Falling, he enjoyed the feeling very much, being able to let go of everything for a moment. Rune flew through the clouds, changing his trajectory by altering his body in the air. He flew head first through the clouds. Upon seeing the estate down below Rune tapped on his chest, the chrome square on his back transforming into a small set of wings and a single thruster in the middle. Rune slowed his descent, choosing now to land in the hangerbay, once twenty feet away he deactivated everything and it all drew back into his belt. Rune was almost falling horizontally through the open doors of the hangerbay, using the Force to cushion his fall he rolled forward just as the Intrepid was requesting access to enter. "Spose I should go see Kitana."Rune said to himself. He walked off in the direction of her office. As Rune was making his way to Kitana's office his eyes were caught by a workbench on the way there. He stopped beside it, looking all the equipment over. He took the vibro-sword off his waist and sat it down by the table. He then unclipped his lightsaber from his belt and placed it on the table, cracking the outside of it he began piecing it back together. Slowly at first until he began understanding the inner-workings of the weapon, it was somewhat complex yet simple in its own way. Rune put the outer shell back together and held it in his hand, he then flipped the switch and saber sprung to life. A vibrant jade colored blade showed itself, lightly humming as Rune waved it around. The lightsaber felt so familiar to Rune yet so distant, after a few moments he deactivated it and clipped it to his belt. Leaving his vibro-sword for the next person who would need it, he walked down the hall to Kitana's office, tapping on her door. Though he didn't waste his time waiting for her, he walked in the room even though she appeared busy. "Its done Kitana."Rune said.

Kitana pulled out a datapad. "I don't pay a salary because I am stupid. The salary is to guarantee I have a smuggler when I need one. Mr. Hutch, I take it you must have been asleep for a long time, but you are dealing with a former Jedi Master." Kitana figured this would explain a lot about her comment. After a second or two she continued. “You start as soon as you can. I have a package waiting for pickup. Twelve containers; three meters by three meters by one meter on Balosar. They each contain two thousand death sticks. I want them delivered to Coruscant, Corellia, Naboo, Fondor, and Mon Calamari. Here is the list of the drop off points. Try to keep this as low key as possible. We just took over this death stick facility, I would hate for the Republic or Balosar government to raid our supplies before we can turn a profit." Kitana handed him the datapad.
On it was writen: Balosar: Landing Pad 82 Alpha: Loading Droid Beta Beta Charlie Coruscant: Wild Rancor Dinner: Human named Jell Corellia: Joe's Strip club: Human named Joe Naboo: Mathew McNeal’s House in Lake Country: Gungun named Karlin Bakun Fondor: Fondor Shipyards: Human named Steve Ray Mon Calamari: The Swimming Hole: Dac named Askine
It was easy to tell that it was planet, drop off point and contact for the deliveries. Kitana smiled. "Hope it is not too much for you on your first run. Kitana smiled and made sure Hutch was good with the mission.
Once he was, walked out of her study and ran into Rune. "Welcome back. I assume the Mission was successful?" Kitana posed it as a question, even though she could read someone like Rune easily enough. The mission was successful for the most part. She just wanted to see the way he would report it.

"Yes, the mission was successful except for collateral damage. Akira was hurt somewhat badly, in escaping when the hyperdrive exploded near her, which leads to some repairs that need done..But otherwise, THE deed is done..Kitana."Rune explained to her. Thinking about all the stories he had heard about the great jedi, none of this seemed to fit with the stories of the valor and respect. Rune rubbed his hand against his belt, realizing he had a lightsaber there now, he looked to Kitana's eyes to see if she had noticed yet. He took it off his belt and raised his hand, showing Kitana what he had brought back from Dagobah. "I need answers..."Rune said to her in a low voice. "I was given this in a cave, on Dagobah, but there was no one but me there..I heard nightmarish voices crying out in agony, witnessed horrible creatures of the dark side...Then a woman appeared through the darkness, she was bathed in light..She gave me the lightsaber to be slain by the monster, so I could slay the monster myself...Then it was all gone..."Rune explained vividly.

Kitana looked at him. "I could give you the answer to your questions. However, you must first be able to ask them before I can answer them." This was a rather cryptic response, but it was the truth. He would need to be able to articulate the question floating in his mind before he could even make heads or tails of the answer. It was like who the answer to life the universe and everything is forty two, but without the question the answer is meaningless.

"It doesn't matter...Forget I mentioned it."Rune said to Kitana. Rune felt somewhat unsettled now in his new environment, but he didn't let it bother him on the surface. Maybe he would figure it out on his own, maybe he was going crazy. "I just don't understand one thing. Why would this lady die so I could kill the monster, when she could have easily killed it and saved herself and saved me..Instead why did she die so I could kill it?"Rune asked puzzled. Scratching his head with his empty hand, he looked back down to the lightsaber in his other hand. "Think you can teach me to use this thing right?"Rune asked.

Yumi watched as Akira's lifeless body floated in a vat of bacta. It was hard to believe that her master was hurt that badly. She seemed so strong, but all life forms, organic or not, became injured one time or another. She resolved to take over Akira's duties until she was better. Her first course of action was a full report.
She grabbed a blank datapad and started working on the report. Instead of typing on it, she just plugged directly into it and had the report done in minutes. While it was being compiled, Yumi started walking around the estate, and ran into Kitana and Rune talking.
Master Kitana. As rune probably told you, Akira has been wounded, badly, so I took it upon myself to do what I can in her place. Here is the full report of what occured during and after our mission.
Yumi handed the datapad to Kitana. She wasn't acting like her easy-going self, but rather serious. Even though she was a droid, she was still sad that her master was this badly wounded. Her clothing now were just a simple gray, knee length skirt and soft white blouse. Her hair was short, only down to her shoulders, and was a light shade of pink and white. [/sub]

"Ok, toots, i'll take care of it." Hutch said accepting the data pad and putting the glass back down on the minibar. He looked over the data, he knew some of these places. Flashes of memories came to him after reading the names. Especially Joe's strip club. Some particularly pleasant flashes accompanied that line of text.
Hutch pocketed the pad and put his hands in his jacket pockets. He didn't like drugs. running weapons, art, food, and stuff like that got some people mad at you and some jail time. Running drugs though got them all mad at you and you ended up shot on the 8 oclock news. But still, it was a job and he was earning something for it. He should at least get on his feet before he starts being choosy about cargo.

Kitana smiled and just shook her head. "Everyone must face that 'monster'. You can kill it, tame it or let it destroy you. However, you are still not ready to look into the eyes of that monster and make the choice. Once you do, you will see why she had to give her life for you to defeat the monster on your own. As for now, simple remember her." Kitana finished her drink and looked at the saber. "Yes I can. Let’s go down to the hanger. I think I know something that will fit you perfectly." Kitana walked over to the turbo-lift and waited for him to enter. She was going to show him the third lightsaber from, Soresu. She always thought it to be one of the more useful forms to teach students because of its defensive benefits made it possible to attack with the Telekinesis while still maintaining a solid defense.
