Center for Planetary Defence and Security.

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon's face wasn't visible from under his helmet, but had they been able to see his face they would have seen a condescending look. "Why am I not surprised?" He says simply before turning. "So I take it we will be going slow since you two have to use grappling hooks for each of our jumps." He says heading to the end of that building and force jumping across to a roof of a nearby building. He jumps a few more buildings to get closer to the Defense Towever before stopping and turning to see how they were keeping up.

"Hope you two aren't tired. The Defense building is pretty damaged inside so there will be lots more climbing around and crawling once we are in there."

[Emanon]

Looking at Zairon Volk frowns.

"You say something, Sir Knight?"

Looks over at Jael to make sure she was ok and ready as she could be, then follows after the Imperial. Using their grappling hooks they used the surrounding towers to swing across to the other buildings. Slowly but surely they were catching up to Zairon, as he swung Volk had to wonder if the knight was compensating for a lack of something missing. Why else use the Force so drastically if it was not needed, they weren't in a race.....

Finally arriving next to Zairon, he was only slightly winded, and nods to his question.

"We are good to go, aren't we Grasshopper?"

[K'litch Vang]

K'litch Vang and his group make their way to the Promenade of the Seven Guilds to begin their sweep of the once proud and bustling epicenter on Utapau. The cries of those who survived the initial attack intensified as the Yuuzhan Vong warriors brought praise to the Slayer by killing every infidel they found. No exception was to be made this day, every man, woman and child found were sent as offerings to the Yun-O.

Vang along with his field commander discover a small dead life shop building containing four Pau'an warriors who managed to secure it well and even send Vashis Hul to meet the Gods via monofilament screen. Quickly, Yuuzhan Vong warriors surround the building and begin to move closer. Vang's field commander exchange glances with him before the commander signals Vang to take these infidels himself. He holds up his amphistaff and looks it in the eyes like he looks at a friend.

"Come my friend; let's send these infidels to their judgement." Vang says before he coaxes his amphistaff to become like a solid rod, before he approaches the door to the shop. Peering in through the missing door, Vang keeps a clear eye out for any infidel devices that may lay in wait for him. Sure enough, Vang's eyes spot a monofilament charge right inside the doorway, between the stairs that ascend to the next floor and the shop itself. Old native antiques fill the walls and shelves, along with a few modern trinkets here and there. Vang reaches for a thud bug from the dead Yuuzhan Vong warrior on the ground beside him and tosses the creature in at the charge on the wall, destroying the charge and damaging most of the items on the walls too. There's no doubt to K'litch Vang, the infidels heard that.

Vang scans the stairway passage to begin walking up but then comes a sudden movement within his field of view near the back of the ground floor. Vang immediately bites and finds a Pau'an with a blaster rifle who quickly aims and fires at Vang. Its clear that the Pau'an is remembering basic training as he shots for center mass at Vang's torso. The crystalline properties of the Vonduun Skerr Kyrric that Vang wears, easily deflecting the blaster bolts away easily as Vang sprints towards the warrior and drives the pointy end of his amphistaff through the Pau'an's eye socket.

Letting out a gurgling yell, Vang takes notice that the infidel has fallen to the will of the Slayer, but there was more cleansing that needed to be done. Vang yanks the amphistaff from the dead infidel and turns to go up the stairs, he manages to get to the top of the flight in three leaps as he bounds up them. Scanning the hallway, Vang sees four doors, two on each side of the hall, and decides to check each one. He readies a blas bug in his hand and gives an evil grin. He keeps his senses about him and listens carefully for any sound of movement.

Vang kicks the first door open and finds nothing, but he was expecting that. He was hoping that the loud noise would startle on of the warriors enough to make a sound, but nothing. Vang kicks in the next door, same outcome. Now there is only two doors left, which means that the infidels are hiding in one or both. Its the moment of truth and Vang moves in to kick the next door open. That is when Vang's senses tell him that someone is behind him. Vang turns quickly and kicks the door behind him open to find the other three warriors behind an overturned desk. Vang smiles at the Pau'ans wickedly as he drops backwards while throwing the blast bug at the desk to avoid any significant blaster fire from the warriors; the proceeding explosion blasts the three warriors out the large window behind them and out onto the streets below.

Vang stands up and heads over to the blown out window and can tell by the infidel’s screams that his Yuuzhan Vong brethren are wasting no time in having said fun. As he stands at the window he sees he field commander using a Pau'an's own severed limb to beat him to death with. Vang gives a smile at this sight, it was amusing and fulfilling all at the same time.

[jaelxaden]

Jael enjoyed stretching her muscles so using grappling hooks was a favorite in her books. "I'm good Volk." She took in a few deep breaths.

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon sighs, "Look, you Jedi know how to use the force right? I'll admit I've not seen you before and only heard stories but I assumed you were capable of at least using it." He finally asked.

"I'd like to know how much of the stories are true before we go into a potential battle zone so I know what I can expect from you two." Zairon said not jumping any more. "I prefer to know the potential and abilities of my allies before I have to rely on them." He glances at the grappling hooks. "If you are capable of using the Force, its quicker and lets be honest, swinging around like monkies is a lot more noticable then a small jump from building to building. I'd prefer Vong not see ropes getting fired around and bodies swinging. Now then WHAT are you Jedi actually capable of?"

[jaelxaden]

Jael stopped and stared at the Knight curiously. "You haven't seen Jedi before?" Great just great. He has never met a Jedi and I have to be the first he runs into? Wonderful!
Suddenly Jael stiffened as she sensed her sister in orbit.

[lotvashai]

The commotion outside of her hiding place had dulled down to a distant roar. No longer did the Yorik-et stream overhead, raining down superheated plasma and molten rock upon the disgustingly linear built-things that littered the cliff-side city. Some time ago she had heard ships in the distance, clearly of infidel origin, they made too much noise to be Yuuzhan Vong.

The warriors would contain the situation as best they could, their numbers easily outnumbered by infidels, were just enough that those civillians caught up in the fray would be easy to subdue...or kill.

So she contented herself with putting the finishing touches upon her work, placing the sensislugs and blast bugs into the orifficies - eaten away by the winglings - into the carefully mapped out parts of her small structure. If anyone opened that door, they weren't going to come back out again in any sort of hurry.

A smile gracing her lips, she recovered the gnullith she carried with her as a precaution, and pushed it against her face, covering just her nose and mouth. The star-fish like creature latched on in an instant, locking it's arms around her face and preventing the air from entering or escaping as it extended it's life-breathing tube down her throat and into her lungs, breathing for her. She gagged reflexively for a moment or two, adjusting to the creatures hold on her, but once it had settled, she would be just fine.

K'litch Vang had not reported in in some time, but this was neither here nor there, he could be up to his ears in infidel carcasses for all she knew, and that wasn't a bad thing, she would not have deigned to interrupt his work. Still...it was concerning that all had gone so quiet so sudden. Perhaps the Priestess had been right in her interpretations of Vang's visions?

She had to find out.

Reaching for the villip she had close to hand, she stroked it to life once again, when it had fully everted, she spoke up - voice somewhat gurgled by the gnullith stuck to her face.

"Report."

[K'litch Vang]

Vang stands in the opening of the exploded window and watches the Pau'ans doing their best to fend off the Yuuzhan Vong below with little success. A almost joyous grin graces the corners of his mouth as he sees the Pau'ans dispatched. Its then that his villip begins to pulse with an incoming message. He removes his villip and coaxes it open, its Lotva Shai.

"The cleansing continues, honorable Intendant. We are still sweeping up the remaining infidels along the Promenade." K'litch Vang begins to report but then sees something swinging against the rocky backdrop of the high cave ceiling reports. "Wait..."

Vang scans the area of the roof tops looking for movement, after a few moment and not spotting anything Vang goes back to the villip and his report to Lotva Shai. "We have taken a few losses along the way but we have sent many more infidels to the Gods than they have."

[lotvashai]

A smile crept across the Intendant's features as she heard the good news, the portents had been correct, this bode well for them all.

"Splendid, those who's lives were sacrificed for the greater glory of the gods, will be welcomed by Yun-Yammka upon their arrival." She mused, though unlike many of her caste, she believed it tenfold.

"Have you encountered resistance in the form of infidels arriving off world? The message was sent, they will have it by now, though I have had no correspondance to assume otherwise...my guess is they know well about the old abomination that it was sent from."

She hated to have to use these things, and would require more than the average cleansing to atone for her actions here, but there was little choice, and she had used the device via means of ogzil, therefore her contact with the abominations was minimal. She wondered just how long it would take the infidels to track the signal here, it had been broadcast but for a second or so, leaving them just enough time to trace it, and if they did she would be waiting.
She could hardly wait for that...particularly if the interlopers were Jeedai.

"Prepare yourselves, this world must be taken at all costs, the gods will not stand for further failure, see to it, that this does not happen, and the rewards for your domain will be extensive."

She did not really need to provide extra encouragement in the notion of materialistic things, but it sometimes helped to sway the more practical of warriors, plus the ambiguous nature of her little speech left a lot to the imagination, she could easily rescind that in light of it's ambiguity later.

[K'litch Vang]

"We have only encountered Pau'an infidel resistance." Vang reported. "We have teams sweeping the dead built things for any pockets of resistance."

Vang listens to Lotva Shai intently as she orders him to prepare himself, he is already ready for what is to come. The Gods are truly on his side today as seen by the swift and decisive sacking of Pau City and Vang knows this day is far from over. As Lotva Shai speaks of the rewards, Vang smiles.

"Indeed, honorable Consul. We shall continue to sweep through the caverns and onto the next infidel sinkhole."

[Lord Zairon]

Zairon nods, "That would be what I said, yes. Jedi didn't come to my planet much, and I've been working for the RGE and Lord Ire since. I've yet to meet any Jedi in the RGE." He says with a shrug, "I mean I've heard stories about you hardly using your powers and restraining, but this is ridiculous." He says before jumping over to the next building.

[SK]

*SK finally reaches the planet's atmosphere and looks around at the buildings, and rubble on the ground from above on his Infiltraitor. SK did not care for the people being slaughtered, but what he did care to look for were the force users that he had felt while meditating. SK then landed his ship about a click away from the defense platform, with the cloaking de vice still on, it shall continue to mask itself, so that no one would know that he had landed. SK then goes into the cargo bay, and grabs his weapons belt, where he has three lightsabers attached to it, two single hilt, and one double-bladed lightsaber. He then attaches a short lightsaber to his thigh holster. He then grabs his black cloak and wraps it around himself and makes his way off the ship.*

*SK then lowered the ramp and walked onto the planet's surface and noticed that the area seemed to be pretty quiet. Sk then shook his head and continued towards the defense platform, walking as casually as possible, but stretching out with his force sense to alert him of anything coming his way*

[lotvashai]

The defence platforms were not as entirely abandonned as SK might have believed, though windswept and quiescent, a group of warriors of the hunter variety stood watch over the platform with keen eyes. Concealed by their cloaks - which allowed them to blend in almost seamlessly with their surroundings - they observed the infidel disembarking his made-thing vessel, passing hushed words between them about what, precisely, this one was doing here.

They could not see, at this distance, the tell tale signs of a force user, the lightsabers that this one carried with him, and had they been able to tell, their presence might have been revealed sooner. Still, they approached as silently as possible, using the platforms various abominable weapons as cover as they moved.

Amphistaves coiled around their forearms, they knew that the time to strike would be crucial, their cloaks would afford their bodies cover, but not their weapons as well, should they choose to utilize them. They formed up in a north facing arc, attempting to quietly surround the infidel before he managed to move off, though it would be prefferable to prevent him retreating into the safety of his ship again, the desire to make a clean kill was far more overwhelming.

[SK]

*SK then continued towards the defense platform and took a quick look around. His force senses was up, yet he could sense nothing, but still in the back of his mind, he knew that there was danger, but from where? He then continued to march through the defense complex, until he was near the main building. SK then took off one of his single hilted lightsabers and continued in towards the main building.*

*SK then entered the main building, and saw that this place was decimated, bodies lying on the floor, and what looked like bugs scattered on the floor, but he knew that these bugs could not have been the reason why so many were dead. SK then knelt down and looked at one of the bugs, and picked it up in his hand. He looked at the creature, and did not recognize any it as any species that he had ever seen before. SK then dropped the bug on the floor, and then continued through the building, very slowly and cautiously*

[lotvashai]

No word needed to pass between the group as the persued the stranger as he carefully picked his way through the buildings, towards the main defence center at the middle of it all. They moved as silently as they had intended to surround him before, carefuly to pick over the debris that might crunch under foot giving away their position.

Eventually, they were lead into one of the large rooms the infidel had decided to investigate, he was bending down to pick up and examine one of the modified bugs that the Intendant and her agent had loosed here, these were the little beasties that were responsible for wreaking havoc upon the communications center, cutting them off - or so it seemed- from the rest of the galaxy while the ariel and ground forces moved in.
The silencing had been swift, effective, and this would be no exception.

That was when the group lead witnessed the infidel stranger remove two weapons from his belt - they were unmistakable, cylindrical with some embelishment and a hideous glint of metal that bespoke of their true origin...they didn't even need to be ignited, he knew what those were when he saw one.

And he knew what this being was to be able to weild one.

Jeedai.

This was the term they used for all force sensitives, to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, it mattered not what their particular affiliation was, they were all the same, and should all be purged from the face of this galaxy forever.

Calling his amphistaff to hand, as did the three that were with him, the first warrior snapped the weapon to a staff as he broke cover, surging towards the cautious infidel's back, whirling the blade around over head with the intent to bring it crashing down upon the head of infidel, serrated side first.
His counterparts each took up defensive positions, not deigning to interrupt until requested.
