Bantha Chitsu Cantina

[Sacrifice]

*Sam is taken aback from this new information now he is really confused and in a situation he doesn't like one bit.* My father unfortanatly is hard to track these days.... For good reason too. I don't even know where my father is. Last I saw him was on a ship heading to Bespin. I serve Darth Ire because he is my commander and cheif. You would have to make me....

Lily: Sam hush for now. You want my son to let a few of you jedi into the Imperial Palace uh? Why not just walk right in. After all your Shadows. As for my Husband he isn't Jedi anymore not after joining the RGE and retiring. What is your name?

[Lord Zairon]

"My name doesn't matter." Zairon said. "And he's a Sith Lord. Look at Palpatine, Dooku, and the others. Look at the evil's they did. All it takes for evil to prevail is good men to do nothing. We are Shadows, but we can't sneak enough in attack a Sith Lord in his main base. We'd be slaughtered."

Zairon glanced down at a datapad tracking a signal. They had placed trackers outside the cantina before they had entered. Had Sam accepted the Black Sun offer they would have tracked any messages he sent in case he knew any other traitors, however they had served a different purpose now as the signal they tracked was the one that Sam had sent to talk to his father. "Well if your father is hard to track want me to ask some of us to hold him? He is after all near our Temple last we tracked him. Yavin IV. Guess how many of us Jedi could be on top of him in a second."

Zairon tapped the table. "So you aren't willing to do a good dead to help the Jedi out? Not even for old time's sake? I know your father isn't a Jedi anymore, but he used to be. He believed in justice and stopping evil."

[Sacrifice]

*Sam wonders why Sac would be on Yavin after all the Jedi base is on Coruscant or something like that. Sam sits back in his chair fighting with the decision he has to make he had a duty to do and this man was demanding him to through all that out the window. For God's sake he made an oath when he joined the empire.*

My father also did things the jedi would not like. *Sam points out. Sam senses something and he starts looking around.*

[Lord Zairon]

"I know. Why do you think we have no problem threatening him and trying to get to you. There are plenty of other RGE agents we could talk to. We picked you because worse case we get to deal with a former Sith, best case we deal with a current sith." Zairon said. "Still, if you not interested, I can leave."

[Sacrifice]

I'm not interested. I have too much to deal with at the moment And if you been threatening my Dad he'll be all over you like a horde of wolves.

*An assassin walks in thoughts about drinking. with out thinking he pulls out his blaster and fires 5 blaster bolts into Lily's back. She is dead before her head touches the table The Assassin runs away and gets in a speeder heading away from the scene.

*Sam stares at his mothers dead body unable to register any emotions do to shock and quickness of the moment*

[Lord Zairon]

"Son of a bitch!" Zairon swears grabbing his lightsaber and jumping over the table. As Zairon quickly lifts himself, his brown robes lift a little, an RGE symbol is seen on some red armor underneath him.

"Abort test. Athena, let's go." Zairon says, "Get the assassin, we'll send the report later." He says as he draws on the force and jumps towards the door. Seeing the speeder he quickly reaches out with the force and attempts to hold it in place. However a blaster pokes out and fires at Zairon and while his armor under his robes stops the blast from killing him, the shot causes him to stumble back from the force losing grip on the speeder. It quickly races off.

Zairon gets up holding his chest where the blaster hit. The force of the blast indicated it was a heavy blaster pistol, his armor blocked it, but the sheer power still hurt. He swore as he got up. "Great, just great." He said punching the wall of the outside of the bar. "Someone has got guts to try and attack RGE agents. Let's try and get info from Sam and send a report to High Command to try and find out who. If they think they can just attack the Empire they are REALLY going to learn a lesson."

Zairon turned and walked back into the bar. Athena and Zairon reached into their robes as they approached the table and tossed two badges down on the table showing them as agents of Imperial High Command.

[Sacrifice]

*Sam looks at them* Why am I not surprised......*his eyes are red from greif.* I have know Idea why somebody is out to kill my family.

[Lord Zairon]

"I'm sure you heard about Captain Cook and Admiral Vanstone's betrayal. As such we've been testing various officers to see about corruption. You passed." Zairon said sitting down. "However, it's now become a matter of someone is attacking RGE member's family. When they messed with us, they messed with the whole empire. The RGE is there to help and protect you, just like you serve and help the RGE."

Zairon held out a hand, "I'm Sir Zairon, Imperial Knight of High Command. Until this matter is cleared up, you have our help in avenging your mother and bringing these assassin's to justice."

Zairon looked at Sam. He hated trying to press for info so soon while the man was grieving, but he knew the longer they waited the colder the trail. "Was what you mentioned over the comlink true? Do you think Black Sun really is out to get you? Could that agent have been Black Sun?"

[Leia Organa Solo]

Leia keeps herself very quiet in the Force. She recognizes Zaron and Athena as Force users and as Imperial agents and that they cannot be the Shadows they stated they were. She is not terribly surprised they are playing some pretty dangerous shadow games with the Force. The Empire was not known for it's subtleties. She'd have to tell Luke they are masquerading as Jedi when in fact, they technically are not. Frustrated with her inability to act without blowing her cover she senses the assassin and can do nothing but watch the boy's mother die in front of him. She's too far away to use any inconspicuous measures to prevent the matter.

Shaking her head and looking away she decides if the terrible twosome leaves she'll do what she can to confort the young man. As she thinks this they take off after the assasin. One most likely hired by them in the first place.

[Sacrifice]

*Sam shakes his hand* Yeah I know about it. I brief many under me not to follow Cook's lead.

Every thing I told my father was true. But the man I killed that could have been just a buddy or something. I don't know for sure. *Sam takes a deep breath trying to control his emotions*

[Lord Zairon]

"The man you killed was a grunt paid off by us." Zairon said waving his hand in dismissal. "A little mind trick mixed with money will get idiots to do most anything." Zairon nods at the mother, "However, the agent was informed not to kill you or anyone close to you. That agent wasn't ours." Zairon sighs, "We have a small outpost where we are doing our work here. It's more secure. Why not come with us and we can try and get information using our vast resources."

[Leia Organa Solo]

She pretends shock at the commotion and then careful disinterest of one not interested in drawing attention to herself lest she become part of the situation. A normal response from a socialite slumming it a bit. She pretends disinterest in the proceedings as she listens to Zaron and Athina explain themselves. Filing what she learns away mentally she wonders if the issue here is not a slavery ring but a government shake down.

[Sacrifice]

*Sam feels extremely guilty for that Athena's style interrogation* oh shit i'm going to hell..... I will show up later I need to collect myself. After all I'm an officer.....

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon shrugs, "We didn't expect you to be nice to him. Don't worry he was slum trash and a goon. A worthless piece of society." Zairon said standing up and sliding him a comlink. "Call us with that. The activation code to get to our channel will be your RGE personnel number. We'll meet you somewhere and take you back to where we are currently set up when you ready."

[Lord Ire]

Stumbling back in after hurling up the nachos he had an hour ago, the drunken officer makes his way back towards Leia with the mind to show he who's boss for making him puke. He wipes a little collection of vomit from the corner of his mouth as he gets closer to the aging diplomat and goes to grab her to spin her around to face him, his drunken demeanor obviously hasn't diminished in the slightest from puking and he sounds just as belligerent as ever.

"Hey! You make me puke up my Nachos, you'll pay for that!"
