RGE Imperial Palace

[shadow]

The Valkyrie comes in for a landing at the north landing platform of the Palace. Shadow shuts down the ship's engines and quietly exits down the landing ramp. He makes his way into the Palace and through the hallways until he finally arrives at the Throne Room. He opens the doors and steps inside in time to see a holo of a Mandalorian appear. Curious, he silently makes his way inside and looks at Lord Ire.

"If you need someone to deal with this SK, my lord, I can take care of it for you." He says quietly.

[Lord Zairon]

Executor Zairon walks in behind Shadow having returned from Yavin IV. "I have returned, though it seems the mandalore has already offered to help." Zairon tosses a comlink to Ire. "Jedi Master Pappy Kenobi said he would also like to speak with you regarding Starkiller and a possible deal with the whole Jedi under arrest thing." Zairon says as he bows. "It's supposed to be a one time use thing, my lord."

[Grainne Fett]

"Lord, Ire, I would think Shadow and Sir Zairon would enjoy this little coup." Her expression never changes, as she watches them. (Guys, Bubba took his Dad to the ER again, he said allow this to run)

[shadow]

He looks over his shoulder as Zairon enters the Throne Room. "Jedi under arrest? How'd that go?" He watches as Zairon tosses Ire the commlink. He then looks back at the Mandalorian. "Hmm, you know. I think she's right. Sounds like fun. What do you say Executor?"

[Lord Ire]

Looking at the comlink, listening to the Executor, the Mandalore Pro-tem and Agent Shadow, Ire only hears the important words. The Jedi want to deal and Starkiller is located, it was going as Ire had foreseen. Inwardly he gives a laugh at the memory he has of his last meeting with Starkiller; where Ire played the weaker of the two to send Starkiller on the path of violence and death, even the little minion on Tatooine were parts of Ire's plan to shape Starkiller into the instrument of the dark side. Where the journey to find his beloved Glow took Starkiller, Ire would only imagine while the true tale is far more horrific. If only they knew what Ire was planning... that's when he looks down at the group at the base of his thrown and stands.

"Let's all go... it'll be fun." Ire says aloud rather coldly and slightly laced with an almost tangible evil intent. His gaze falls on the holo of the Mandalore and Ire decides to address her first. "Mandalore, I will accept your offer. Where do we meet you?"

[Grainne Fett]

Grainne gives a lopsided grin and looks at Lord Ire, "Starkiller, has not landed as of yet. I have a squad of fighters around him. My troops, Commanders, my personal team, as well as my self are at Tipoca City. Lord Ire, remember, this is a snatch and grab not a shooting gallery. My troops have their sites set on Starkillers ship, no one else. You are more then welcome to come here and send your team to pick of the floating garbage trawler Markon calls his ship, and himself." Sitting down never breaking eye contact with Ire, she thinks some more, "I would act quickly Lord Ire, you know how fast bantha poodoo can run in out there." Popping her thumb to the window at Starkiller's ship. "I look forward to seeing you, I will make tea and cakes. Fett out" The holo closes.

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon turns and glances at Ire. "You are going to leave Carratos, my lord?" He ask surprised. "Shadow and I can definitely handle this. It's one delusional man."

[Lord Ire]

One delusional man yes but I have plans for him none the less." Ire says to Zairon as he watches the image of Grainne Fett fade, Ire then begins to task the Executor and Shadow with orders. "Executor, ready the remainder of Shadow Fleet and have them relieve Tuulk at Kuat, have the Atrocity meet us in Kamino orbit. Shadow, ready your ship, you will transport the Executor and myself to Kamino."

Ire stands and walks down the steps to his throne, past Zairon and Shadow, and heads out the doors of the Throne Room. The Caratosian Royal Guards look at each other as Lord Ire walks by before following behind him. This is an odd move for Ire, the Emperor rarely leaves the Palace much these days, maybe he just wants to get out for once.

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon nods and turns and leaves as well. He boards a shuttle and heads up to the Shadow fleet. Upon arrival he gives them their orders and departs back to the planet while the Shadow fleet heads to pick up Admiral Tuulk.

Then Zairon heads back towards the docking bay to meet up with Shadow and the Emperor to head to Kamino.

[shadow]

Shadow nods his head and quietly makes his way out of the Palace and to his ship. He boards it and gets everything ready for the trip to Kamino. He starts to do a pre-flight check and waits for the Emperor and the Executor to arrive.

[Lord Ire]

Ire gets on board the Valkyrie and takes a seat behind the Captain's chair and waits for lift off. While he waits, Ire begins to meditate on the dark side as he sits silently, he realizes that the impending capture of Starkiller isn't going to be a walk in the park and knows he must ready himself for the coming confrontation. Ire can sense a fight coming and will not lose to the underling Starkiller is, he will prove to the former Jedi how truly little he knows of the dark side... Ire will take his prize and continue on as planned.

[shadow]

Shadow watches as Ire and Zairon and the Carratosian guards board the ship. He finishes his pre-flight check and closes the loading ramp and hatch. He engages the engines and the ship lifts up off the landing platform. Shadow flies the ship up towards the Carratos Orbit.

[shadow]

The Valkyrie zooms across the surface of Carratos and makes its way towards the Palace. Shadow lands on the northern platform and shuts down the engines. He exits the ship and makes his way into the Palace and into the Throne Room where he awaits the arrival of Emperor Ire.

[Lord Ire]

As Ire's personal ship lands on his private landing pad at the top of the palace, the Empeor and Grand Admiral are met by a procession of Carratosian Royal Guards and Cilla Shane, head of the Palace aides and one of Ire's students. Stepping off the ramp to the ship, Cilla approaches the Emperor with a graceful bow, Ire begins to find out what happened with Sam.

"Welcome back, my Emperor." Cilla says with a cold voice.

"Skip the pleasantries, Cilla." Ire replies bluntly, "What happened on Yavin IV?"

"I'm unsure, milord." Cilla responds, "The Executor was the one who brought him in and he was insistant on putting him into custody."

"Contact Zairon and have him bring Sam to the throne room, I want to get to the bottom of this." Ire says as he, Tuulk and Cilla make their way to the private turbolift that leads to the throne room and enters it. The trip to the throne room is quiet, Ire thinks about what transpired on Yavin IV and is anxious to here what did in fact happen. He would discover the truth behind this even if it meant torturing, killing, and cloning Sam over and over again until he gets what he wants.

As the doors open on the throne room, Ire sees Shadow waiting there and nods to him as he walks by and takes his seat on the throne. He says nothing, choosing instead to wait to speak until both Sam and Kage Dooku were brought to him.

[Lord Zairon]

Upon hearing from Ire, Zairon goes to get the sedated Sam from the detention area. He throws the man over his shoulder in a fireman carry and heads towards the Imperial Throne room with the unconscious man dangling over his shoulder.

As he enters the room he drops Sam to the ground and bows. "Welcome back, my lord. I have returned your padawan as requested." He says. "Apparently he decided to attack his father and pick a fight with the Jedi. Mainly I'd say the big charges are assault and attempted murder on a retired Moff of the RGE."
