Republic Secrets?

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

109K bounced out of his hiding place as the ship landed upon flat ground. He had been sleeping and he rubbed his head slightly for he had slammed it rather hard against the wall. The blunt of the impact had been on his horns however it hadn't fully stopped his inertia. "Looks like we've finally arived at.... well where ever we are."

The hatch to the cargo bay began opening as republic officers and soldiers came pooring through grabbing the supplies which 109K hadn't bothered to rummage through in his time here. There was no use in trying to sneak out the old fashion way he saw so he decided might as well try and fake his way out as a manual worker. Picking up a crate next to him that was unmarked except by a dragon insignia on the top, he marched through the building traffic as arrived upon the planet. If the previous planet had an evil twin brother this planet was it. The last planet he had been on had been covered in almost all water, from his current view it looked like this planet was nothing but barren wasteland. A large cliff off to the side of the ship he had gotten off gave way to a facility down below and an ascending staircase all the way up to the top. As he looked down it seemed hangers and landing pads scattered as far as the eye could see, most filled with the same three types of fighters.

"What the bloody hell is this...?" said 109K as he stared down into the valley before him. Something told him the construction of this place had been recent, and it appeared that there were some domelike buildings in the distance. Whatever this place was he was sure he wasn't welcome here if he was found.

"Hey, you!" came a voice from behind him and he turned for a moment to see a woman behind him with particular gaunlets. "This isn't a viewing gallery you know."

109K shrugged for a moment before responding. "Just thought I'd take a moment to look and see where I was going is all." said 109K trying to sound convincing and motioned to the box he was carrying which the woman looked down and saw the insignia.

"Your not with the republic are you, and I don't think we have a place for little lost boys." said the woman. 109K scowled for a second, it couldn't be more obvious he wasn't with them however he had still hopped to maintain that he was indeed part of them a while longer however he had failed miserably. "What brings you here to this said shithole?"

"Well, I came from a planet with a big sea, that's all I know. Had some trouble I had to get away from." said 109K vaguely trailing off in his sentance.

"I like dangerous men, especially when they are worth a bit of money." said the woman.

OOC to continue later.

He felt a chill down his spine with her last line, Something was definately off with her. Some how he got the feeling that she wouldn't be above killing him in a second. As if some Sixth sense had kicked in he was more careful about his movements, if worse came to worse his special 'ability' might be his only way to survive this encounter.

"I get the feeling that I won't be leaving this place with what I've seen so my only other option is to join this operation and whatever it is." said 109K setting down the box finally before facing her once again.

"I'm afraid we can't let even a cute one such as you run around here. You'll have to disappear." said the Woman as four commando's came up behind her, but it wasn't them that made the attack. Her actions were so swift that he barely registered the motion of her lifting her gauntlet and firing spikes from them and implanting flat into his chest.

Staggering back he fell backwards unable to keep his balance from the impact. Dust swept up from his impact and he lay there unmoving. The woman turned and started to walk away until a voice sounded behind her.

"That hurt you know, I sure hope your kisses aren't as lethal as your flirting." said 109K as he struggled back up pulling the spikes from his chest and throwing them down to the ground. His shirt was torn and beneath it you could see the wounds heal up at a visible rate.

"Impressive. You get more and more interesting by the second." said the Woman. "I never kiss on a first date. Especially when I do not know his name."

109k couldn't remember his name but it seemed he would have to make up a name for himself. It was no time to be picky so he just said the first thing that came into his head.

"The names Bones." said 109K with a slight smirk, they wouldn't have a clue what his name meant at the moment but eventually it would become relavent he thought.

"Well then..... Bones. Since you seem uncontent to stay dead, we may just have a job for you..... interested? I can assure you.... the Republic pays well." said the woman, as she brushed her reddish brown hair from her face.

Bones seemed to give it thought for a second and then shrugged. "Why not? When do I start and what am I to do?" asked Bones.

"All in due time my dear." said the woman smirking as she turned motioning for him to follow her. "You can keep the create, it was specially ordered for someone who never showed up. Has gear for killing just about anything."

"And what might your name be since I've yet to receive it." said Bones as he kneeled down to the box opening it. Within it was a cloak made of curious material, bottles of what Bones could only believe was posion, knives. A guantlet similar to the womans two sets of nine inch long daggers both with a different hue of metal which he found curious. Finally two sleek blasters, a vibroblade, and light armor.

"The names Raiku Vhenn, Fleet Admiral of the Fourth Fleet of the galactic Republic. Best remember that name Bonehead." said Raiku as they started to walk away. Bones quickly strapped everthing into place and began after them. He put on a mask that held a similiar resemblance to mandalorain masks and as the display turned on he smirked. He could get used to this. His cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, the Taozin skin unmistakeale to anyone who had seen the likes before.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

Raiku led their way through facilities that were finishing up manufacturing fighters, and it seemed almost endless but they soon reached a dome structure and with an Iris scan they where let past. Bones looked back for a moment as the door close behind them and then continued forward. Something felt bad with this place.

"So what's the republic doing here.... besides building ships in the middle of no where...?" asked Bones as they began to go through a hallway of automatic doors which by the fiftith door he was starting to question if they were making any progress down this hallway. As they reached the last door the scenery changed dramatically into that of an old looking tomb.

"Lord Nanashi is interested in the files that a old sith lord left here, and we've been gathering his files from numerous locked datapads, destroyed labratories, and analysis of the vials within the rooms. We've found what Lord Nanashi wanted." said Raiku as they entered a vast room with a figure tied to the wall, he was large with a metal hand and wrist. A huge claw for an arm on the other side of him. He looked scarred and grotesk.

"What the hell is that....?" asked Bones as they slowly made their approach. The thing turned t them and started rashing on it's chains. It tried futily against them as they where just outside it's grasp.

"Don't worry, it's held in place by Phrik Chains. Someone didn't want this thing leaving here. Perhaps it was Darth Akunin's back up should he lose all the others." said Raiku then turned to Bones with a smile. "Isn't he cute?!?"

"Cute... yeah." muttered Bones to himself as he started at the thing before him. He felt something between them, as if he was connected to this Darth Akunin somehow. Was it possible?

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

"What exactly is it you want me to do with this thing..." asked Bones as the figure continued to ravege it's chains not more then two feet away from him. Raiku turned to Bones once more with a slight smirk on her face.

"Oh it's a rather simple job. Even a criminal trained in the penis system should be able to do it. We want you to take Mr. Grouchy here to a planet for study. You'll be paid very well.... say..... 100,000 credits?" said Raiku off handily like the credit amount was nothing. Bones himself remained quite thinking this over. 'If I don't they might just kill me anyways, and I could use the money....'

"Done, but I'm using one of your ships." said Bones as he turned to face the thing once more. 'If you had any intelligence you'd stop fighting those chains....'

"Good, I'll arrange the transport, escort, and hyperspace route." said Raiku as she started to walk off.

"Escort? No body said anything about anyone coming with...." said Bones already not liking the additions she 'failed' to mention.

"Just think of them as body guards, their only there for your protection." said Raiku as she disappeared armor and all around the corner. Bones looked back one last time towards the figure ravenging the chains.

"I have a baaad feeling about this..." said Bones.

***

Later Bones strapped up in the ship they had assigned him, it was ragity but it seemed to hold together well enough. They had set to armored soldiers to accompany him and he couldn't help but think that they were here for the thing's protection and not his.

"Stop worrying, if things turn bad I'll just stick around long enough to get the money and bail." muttered Bones to himself as he set a hyperspace route and shot into hyperspace towing his luggage......
