*As soon as the doctor removed the restraining bolt, Sarina woke up. In some distant part of her inner hearing, she heard voices. She couldn't make them out, but she was certain they were in her mind and not in her ears. She lifted an arm to block out the sharp medical light over her head but saw that her hand wasn't her hand. It was covered in some kind of plating and she could feel her muscles sliding around solid objects within her arm. She also felt strange, like her body was under high pressure.*
[Doctor] "Stay calm, i'm trying to help you. we think we accidentally injured you on your ship and we brought you back here to see if we could help."
*Sarina looked down at the rest of her body. Her once beautiful figure was now covered in the same plating her arm was and mechanical implants jutted from her in places. Sarina screamed and thrashed about on the table.*

*Sarina awoke a few hours later. She felt drugged and all numbed up but her head cleared enough for her to think strait. Still, she could here the voices in her mind. a far away group of voices that she couldn't quite make out. The doctor was back in her vision, shining a light in her eyes.*
[Doctor] "I'm sorry about before i didn't mean to scare you. The shock of waking up must have frightened you quite a bit."
*Sarina tried to speak and her voices came out in a raspy, but strangely digital tone.*
"i'm not from that ship."
[Doctor] "Your not?"
"Silver Streamer. I am... was a slave on board the Silver Streamer. Was attacked by something. attacked by something, they looked... like me."
[Doctor] "I'm sorry. When we found you on the cube the party put a restraining bolt on you. It disabled some of your systems. The mechanical parts of you weren't made for restraining bolts and some of them got fried."
"My neural transceiver and Cortical implant have been disabled by a foreign energy pulse."
*The words shocked Sarina as much as they did the Doctor. He was about to ask her about it, but the surprise on her face told him all he needed to know. She didn't know any more about it then she did.*
[Doctor] "Let me do some more scans and tests. We'll figure this out, i promise you."

Oron followed the injured Jor and Drake. He turned around once again and he could sense more friends present but they kept their ground.

The Dark Troopers ran at their top speed, which was it's usual impressive mechanical speed. "Evacuating injured personnel! recommend all organic units fall back to secure area! 3 hostile units detected to the north, 2 more hostile units detected to the south, 4 more hostile units detected to the northwest." The droid looked down at Jor in his arms. "Opening battlefield network link... one moment... link established. Captain, request permission to activated program obliteration."
Captain Walton was surprised when the Dark trooper left at base came turned to him and began reporting the situation it's companions were in. He could never get used to the instant communications battle droids shared. "Once Jor and that marine are safe and sound back here at base camp, all of you can activate PO. But get them back safely."
All 8 dark troopers responded at once. "Permission granted upon completion of objective. retrieve wounded and secure, understood." The dark troopers pushed the limits of their servos, running at a good 20 kilometers an hour back to base camp. They got there in no time and deposited Jor and the marine with the Doctor.
"Activating program obliteration, all personnel, clear battle zone. Repeat all personnel, clear battle zone." all 8 droids ran up and formed an arch of fire to cover Drake and the marines retreat. Their assault cannons tore through trees, bushes and small rocks like nothing. when a bolt made contact with an alien, it either died instantly or lost most of it's limbs making it immobile.

Drake get going as the droids showed up. "Okay this is a lot better reinforcements.." he said as he got to the ship the other marine not far behind him. Drake turned around watching the creatures being killed by the blaster. Drake closed his eyes and started to concentrate on healing his minor wounds and recovery. "So, now that that plan blew up in our faces what do we do." Drake asked hoping Jor could hear him and that hopefully he could talk enough to respond.

Oron was with the two men as the droids provided covering fire. He then looked at Drake."Either we destroy the nest of those things, capture them, or maybe just bombard the planet. Who knows how far those things spread across the planet."

"Obliteration eminent, please stand clear." The droids switched firing modes on their assault cannons and started firing missiles. Dozens of missiles. The missiles streaked and spiraled out, hitting trees rocks and aliens, bathing a good 400 meters in front of the droids in explosive fire and concussive blasts. 160 missiles later, the area fell silent.
"14 confirmed hostile kills. No hostiles on sensors, area secure. Permission to go into patrol mode?" The droids all said in unison.
"Permission granted" Captain Walton said. After witnessing that, he was glad to get the droids out of his sight. They just creeped him out. "Doctor, whats the status of out downed men?"
"The marine will be fine, he has minor cuts and abrasions and he's lost some blood but he'll pull through just fine. But Jor is critical. I don't know what anti toxin to give him because i don't know what poison was administered." The doctor looked glum. "I'll need the body, or the poisonous limb in question, of one of those things in order to get a sample of the poison."
Walton just shook his head, this was turning into a bad day. "Ok Marines, pull it together and fall in."
The 7 remaining marines picked themselves up and stood before the captain.
"Reload yourselves and put some extra body armor on and load up with explosives. your going back out there to get me a body." Walton turned to Drake. "i can't order you to go, but my men would feel a lot more confident if a Jedi were to go with them. I won't blame you if you want to stay behind though. After that, i probably would."

"Captain Walton, permission to go with your Marines."

Drake turned to Walton. "Yea...okay I'll go..." He started to stand up. "not that that tree hurted or anything" Drake hoped out the vehicle and looked up at Oron. "If your comin then lets get movin" he said he started to walk off following the Marines. He kept his lightsaber in his hand ready for anything.

"Still need permission from the Captain first. Unless he wants me to go to the nest and fuck with the new friends."

"Permission granted. We need all the help we can get on this one." Walton said. The Marines put on some heavier armor and upgraded to T-21 repeaters instead of E-11 rifles. The 7 man Marine team saluted Walton and the jedi, then moved out, back into the forest, looking for a body they could drag back.

*Several days after Sarina was brought back from the cube and several operations later, she was starting to look more like a Twi'lek and less like a cyborg.*
"There are a few components in the base of your left Lekku which i'm afraid to remove because of their sensitive location. Based on the scans i'd say they're either disabled or completely fried." the doctor explained.
Sarina responded, her voice sounded normal once again. "That must be the neural uplink." Somehow she had managed to retain memories of her short time in the collective. Unfortunately she couldn't actively recall anything. Things just came to her in fits and spats. "they might be the reason for the voices in my head."
"That would mean the device is still active." The doctor said. "i'll see what i can do about EMPing it to finish it off for you. what i really am worried about is the nanobots in your system."
"what about them?" Sarina said.
"Well, so far they seem to have a positive impact on your body. We've reversed most of the genetic changes they made to your body but there's nothing stopping them from doing it again." The doctor explained. "but until that happens, they seem to be perfectly happy repairing damaged cells."
"What's powering them? When i was with the Borg. i had to go into an alcove to recharge the implants and nanoprobes. Without that they should deactivate."
The doctor puzzled on this for a while. "i'll have to do a little more research on that. But for now, you should be ok to walk about. Don't push it though, you've been laying on this table for a few days now, your legs are going to be more then just a little stiff."
"Thank you Doctor, for all you've done." Sarina stood up and her legs were a little shaky, but she was stable enough to walk. The voices in her head were a constant presence, but they were getting quieter and quieter. The implant was most likely running out of power.

A ship flew into Mos Eisley, but none saw it. When the cloak deactivated, it landed down. The Scimitar opened, and Diablo walked down. The odd thing was, no one came to greet him or tell him he had to pay. He walked out of the Docking bay, and noted the lack of people.
The streets were empty. Completely.
Diablo had come here to see if he could possibly get a hutt or two to help fund his little army. His mother had stayed in the Anubis, allowing him a small break from her training. He did not expect to find no one around. Tatooine was not the most lively planet, but you would be able to at least find one person. Not even Jawas were around. Diablo could sense life, but he also sensed their fear.
But he could not sense anything to be afraid of. Not even a Tuskin Raider was anywhere near the place. He looked around. He used the Force in his eyes to see more then just what an eye can see on it's own. There were a few people hiding in their homes, and alot of people hiding in groups that seemed to be more like a group of mercenaries then family or friends, and they hid in what he recognised as the cantina.
Something was wrong here and Diablo could tell, but he could not sense exactly what was wrong. It was odd. Perhaps some droids had gotten out of control? That be the best exlanation of why he could not sense the threat.

Though Chris saw the cowering people of Mos Eisly through the aid of the force, he couldn't see the small crab/spider like creature creeping behind him. It stayed under lose objects in the street like crates and old droid parts, but it was there, watching and waiting for the right moment to strike. |

Diablo was watching the people. He decided to stop, and got out his blaster. Whatever was out there, he didn't want to be completely unprepared for it. He looked around, and walked down the street, noting the emptiness of everywhere he walked. It was a rather creepy feeling to be the only sole seen on the Streets of Mos Eisley.
