Adverts, lots of adverts... Automated, docking procedures, but that is about it.

Piss off! I asked but ain't like being called no cad.

Look I ain't taken and shizz from that brat, if he ain't helpful I'll b give him right back to mr screamy madness nutcase and he can see how well he deals with that attitude.

(he was calling palpatine a cad not you......)

his monocle drops into his tea.... " I say Sir! "

he glares at you... " humility from some Scallywag... Ha i'd sooner be that creature again.... You also asked, you rather Scruffy..... urmm alien fellow thing... yes indeed.! " he walks off..

Sar Agorn says" you know hes the director of XenoVirology, of the Royal Nabooian University right?, he might be useful.. "

Lord Crumbleberry. Please excuse our Omwati friend. He has been quite distracted with optimizing our gear, and misheard you.

As Director of Xenovirology, I am sure you understand the need to keep you under quarantine, confined to the ship, pending further investigation of recent events.

This will give you time to utilize your unique skill set, to aid us in a more complete understanding of the Rakghoul strain we encountered. As a respected scholar in my own field, it would mean a lot to me if you could help us with this. Your cooperation is crucial. Astrid places a hand on his arm, imploringly. If we are to overcome this threat, we need to better comprehend its nature- which, thankfully, you are well-qualified to determine. Thank you. (removing her hand and turning to Zyi)

Zyi, Please arrange for Lord Crumbleberry's access to shipboard resources pertinent to this line of research, without the distractions of other systems interfering.

( you pass, he's quite gruff but a sucker for a compliment )

"Yes well.... that is quite reasonable... one will do some basic investigations.... one would not want a relapse "

So... Durrak. You have means of contacting this True Sith ? I believe the consensus is to hear her out, at least?

I would also like to go over the fencing and snares with you, prior to our engagement; it's been ages since I've trapped an alchemically enhanced Rancor, and I fear I may be a bit rusty.

"Yes he gave me a comm frequency to contact him. Shall I call him? I suppose he will send his representative."

Zyi rolls his eyes at Astrid's comment and chuckles.

( shard would you like to roll a basic mechanics/ hacking check on the code? )

You see it contains an auto dial code which activates if enterd into a com device will activate, however you can remove it quite easily

Woah, woah hold on folks...

He scratches his head puzzled, noticing an auto dial code which will activate if entered into a com device.

Ok, better... Well they were trying to make another com call without us knowing, I found an auto dial code embedded inside what they gave us.

Good catch, Zyi! Is there a way to figure out where the auto dial code was being forwarded, without alerting anyone?

Imagine that. Sith treachery, before we're even introduced.

Now, let's see if the call will still reach the intended recipient.

Durrak makes the call. He asks for the help that was promised.

I'll try and trace code and find the intended recipient.

(The autodial code is the same person. It's to guarantee you call the person )

You hear something answer the sound is a mix of buzzes and cricket chirps.. which becomes electronically translated the clicks are at times quicker then high pitched " Greetings...Heroic individuals...The one disconnected from the swarm sends salutations.. and benevolent emotions towards you.... This is sent with Sincerity as we can work towards a common goal ...to destroy the self proclaimed Lord Insanire..." it stops then restarts

"You show great wisdom, yes truly you are not blind as many within the Republic are .. May this one know who she is talking too?"

You may. We are Yorik Vonn of Dantooine, Shard, Durrak, and Dr. Astrid Anduin.

And to whom do we have the honor of speaking?

The clicks seem quite rapid " This one is known as Xirixx in your tongue... Lady of the True Sith, Apprentice to Lord Venirus..... Defender of The Eastern Fringe... " Several more self important titles are spouted " but the most noticeable is " Hand of the True Sith Council "

" This one asks you to come together as both sides of the force one did and finally do what those in the past could not... There will be no betrayal on behalf of the Sith, thus we swear under blood oath on the Soil of Korriban.. Agreeable ... Positive "

"Agreed. There will be no betrayal on our part either."

Greetings, Xirixx. We appreciate the spirit of cooperation you are bringing to the table.

Hopefully it will be enough to eliminate this Lord Insanire, once and for all.

Durrak only says hello when he makes the call. He nods in agreement with his comrades. After the call he excuses himself and goes to his quarters.

We all had to introduce ourselves...? He whispers...

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

I know, I know... Only a sith deals in absolutes...

Good for you, you got a Sith buddy, me I'd prefer to not be on a first name basis with a crazy evil person's side kick...
