On Corouscant the official would give the odd pair before him a skeptical look. 'You serious? Aren't you a little young to be asking about that kind of thing? And what's with the fur ball? Your version of muscle little gangster?' It seems that even with the bribe the man will take some convincing this is legitimate.

"Yeah, I'm serious. And that 'fur ball' may not be a Wookiee, but I'm sure he'll still have no problem ripping arms out of peoples' sockets. So do we have a problem, officer ?" Raithe says to the official.

Ryff steps up thinking, "I really hope this works." He then starts to crack his knuckles trying to be menacing.

Preparing to move Gaze through through the service hatchet as the interdictor violently shook, Muu replies back “ Time may be of the essence, friends ”. The rumbling of the ship was not his ideal turbolift music on standby.

Kai-wan busies himself with the copilot's cluster, intent upon helping. While he is nearly certain he has piloting experience.. his memory cannot quite recall the last time he found himself at the helm of a spacefaring vessel. Oh, wait. It was just now in the hangar.. does that count..?

An alarm shrieks from his console, in response to the last toggle he flipped. "Ahem." The droid flips it back, triggering an additional klaxon. "Master Walden? You have the deck and the conn." The security droid folds his long digits in his lap, awaiting further directives.

(Tried to downgrade the difficulty for you, but just generated Threat; Kai-wan means well, he really does...

Zoroku would take a pensive stance, he had failed to save the Admiral, ' Her death is a great setback to my efforts of strengthening the republic, unless... The chain of command certainly has many vacancies within it at the moment, if I could find several Candidates who were likely to be promoted to her position I could possibly have an easier time with pushing through improvements.' He would look out to the rest of the station at the destruction the surprise attack had caused, if the mission to this station had taken just a day earlier maybe Zoroku would have had plenty of time to warn them. ' I should begin my search for her replacement now, this I feel is just the first battle in a longer and more deadly conflict.'

The shuttle rocketed off the hangar and into space, the battle raging ahead.

"Alright, K-1. Just press those buttons here, here, and here. That should turn on the shuttle lights and switch IFF to friendly A-Wings for now."

Two A-Wings followed its trail, but seemed to back off shortly after. The shuttle went towards the location Oola was at and picked her up.

"Now, here we go. K-1, switch IFF back to the default and turn off the landing lights for now."

As they headed towards the Interdictor, the other shuttles didn't seem to care as Walden headed towards the service hatch where Gaze and Muu were. The shuttle linked up with the Interdictor through the service hatch.

"Gaze, Muu, you better get going, we're right outside." Walden said.

The officer on Coruscant would visibly gulp as he skin grows pale. He would step back a few steps as he watches the hulking white figure with a look of genuine fear. 'Alright alright!' He'd say in a rushed tone. 'Just keep that thing away from me'. With that he would turn and walk hurriedly away from the pair, not looking back to check if they were following. He would lead them towards one of the central warehouses, but rather than heading for the main entrance he leads them around the side of the building. He would pause by a small door set into the concrete, and would wrap his knuckles against it loudly. He would turn to the pair and nod them silently towards the door. 'You really want to get some gear, your guy is in there'.

At the Foerost station, the sith shuttle would be unaccosted as it hovers outside of the rapidly disintegrating interdictor. As it hangs suspended in space, shrapnel would bounce of the hull, the noise echoing around the interior as if someone was throwing rocks at them. They most certainly did not ant to be here when the ship broke apart, especially if they wanted to catch the fleeing cruisers. They were rapidly moving to a safe hyperspace distance and only a few ships remained to board them.

Both of the republic ships that had come to the stations aid were falling back as well, one in tatters and flames, barely being held together. They had really taken a beating in the fight, outnumbered and outgunned by the larger and superiour vessels.

To escape the burning ship, Muu simply had to pull the lever next to the hatch, and the hatch to open. Normally this would open to allow access to piping, but in this case it would vent them and everything in the room that wasn't secure into space. After that it was simply a case of getting himself and the unconscious Gaze aboard the shuttle. A task that on reflection may not be so simple.

Back on the station, Zoroku is able to navigate from the recording of the admirals death to other feeds from the station. He is able to observe segments of the battle, and more importantly to his goal, locate surviving officers from the republic military. The first he located is a lieutenant Fraistor. Comparing the feeds tot he personnel logs he is able to confirm him to be a young officer from one of the hammerhead vessels that had been docked to the station.

The second was a captain Medwim. This actually was revealed by the computer to be the guard captain they had met during their initial landing on the station. Although she was not a republic officer, she was the current ranking officer of the stations security, and was a veteran of the mandalorian wars. Other than these two, there did not seem to be many other officer he was able to locate. Perhaps they were injured, or worse dead. It may be that the camera feeds had been unable to locate them, in the chaos of the battle, all of these were possible. The attack had been truly catastrophic, with many soldiers and officers losing their lives in the defence of the station.

Once Walden confirmed the rescue was in place, Muu flung Gaze's unconscious body securely against his. Prepared to flee the rapidly dissolving ship, he pulls the lever on the hatch to open exterior access. Abruptly, a ferocious pull tugs the duo through the interdictor's fuel piping which vents the pair straight past the shuttle's on-ramp into the cargo-hold. As Muu registers his adventurous arrival within the shuttle, a surprising stray piece of shrapnel came flying by and pierced his suit. Immediately, he thought " Glad this suit held up until now ".

" Walden, we are secure in the cargo-hold " Muu comms, as he stands up to close the ramp for departure.

As they followed Ryff was thinking, "THING!...Wait, there is no emotion only peace. I hope the corruption does not go any further." Remembering the first tenet of the Jedi code was very helpful in not smacking the official up side the head.

"He better be," Raithe says menacingly toward the frightened officer.

As Kataddik makes his way through the corridors towards the triage centre, he could clearly see the damage and destruction of the battle. Small fires burnt here and there, and walls and ceilings had been badly damage by explosives and gunfire. Bodies were strewn about the corridor from both sides of the conflict, the sith had made no attempt to bring the dead back with them. Here and there he would see survivors in various states of health and mental well being. Some stagger about the place as they tried to help others, while some stood aimlessly, seemingly stunned by the events. Others were slumped against walls on on the floor being attended to as best they could by medics and friends, while some seemed to be suffering from mental trauma. Some of these poor souls would most likely not recover.

It was a long walk from the command centre to the triage point, the route being made longer thanks to several corridors being blocked by rubble. When he did reach the large open area the real impact of the battle could be seen here. There must be hundreds of injured soldiers and civilians here being treated. Doctors, nurses and combat medics were practically running between patients as they did what they could to stabilize and treat wounds. The task was overwhelming for so few members of staff. Behind the living were line after line of bodies covered in white sheets. Here lay the dead of the station. There was almost as many as there were injured. It was here that the body of Tiberius and Mat lay, and where Oola's had received her treatment for her own wounds. No one would look up or say anything to the padawan, everyone simply had too much to do, or were in no state to help at this moment. #

On Corouscant the official would back away a few steps from the padawans, nodding his head rapidly. 'He is, he is!' he'd repeat hurriedly before scurrying past the pair, heading back towards the office. He would give Ryff a particularly wide birth as he leaves. As he disappears, the door would swing open, and an aqualish would pear around the door frame. With a meaningless runt he would gesture for the pair to enter with a nod of his head. The room beyond the door frame was small, and looked remarkably similar to the office they had just come from. Other than the aqualish, a young woman dressed in dark greys and blacks with long ginger coloured hair would look up from her chair. She has her feet resting on a plain metal table as she paws over a datapad. 'If you're here, you're buying' she'd state, very matter of fact in her tone. 'Aren't you a little young for this stuff?' Other than the pair, there doesn't seem to be anything else in the room of interest, no stock that would be incriminating at least.

Setting the wounded soldier he managed to carry here among the more urgent patients, Kattaddik sits down with the other less urgent patients.

Zoroku would stand up from the command center desk satisfied with the information he had found, he needed to make a good impression on these two in hopes one of them would become Admiral and help him to make the changes he desired. ' I'll go check on the Lieutenant first, and break to him the news of the Admiral's Passing. Maybe from my talks with him I can see if he is agreeable to myself and my efforts.' Zoroku headed out of the command center and went to where the Lieutenant was overseeing the recovery of soldiers and staff.

After a few minutes of jogging he made it t the make shift medical station, spotting one of the younger doctors not currently busy he introduced himself, " I am Kazz'Oro"Kuruozo however the name is difficult for most so you can call me by my core name Zoroku. I am one of the Jedi who helped defend this station, I have suffered minor injuries and would like to see attention to them, after you have dealt with all the soldiers and staff with more pressing issues." Zoroku would leave without the response from the young doctor and headed to speak with the lieutenant.

The next lucky scumbag who comments about my age is going to get a shoto to the face. Raithe thinks in agitation.

However, Raithe had been at this game long enough to know that getting angry in this situation wasn't going to help. Instead of appearing upset, she manages a smile.

"Yes. Yes, I am," Raithe replied, "Though I don't see how that's relevant. I'm a costumer in need, and I was informed you had the goods I'm looking for."

Raithe made a show of looking around the place with a face of indifference, "On the other hand, I also don't see anything in here that's as impressive as the rumors I've heard. I guess this place was all just a bunch of hype... Very disappointing... But don't worry. I'll set the public straight. I'll make sure there won't be anymore misled costumers to bother you again."

Raithe turns to leave.

For the moment the medics would not be able to get to the jedi as they rushed from soldier to soldier, doing what they can to save their lives or ease their passing. Fortunately, jedi are famously hardy people, and can survive formidable injuries at times.

Meanwhile, Zoroku would soon locate the officer he was searching for. The young man was sat on the floor, propped up against the wall with a blood stained bandage around his head. He was looking up as several soldiers in republic uniform, and seemed to be issuing orders. The soldiers would salute, leaving the officer to rest his head against the wall with a heavy sigh. He looked exhausted, and would close his eyes for a moment.

On Courscant the Aqualish would let out a low grunt as he moves between the jedi and the door frame. 'Woah now, let's calm down' the woman would drawl from her seat. 'You think we leave out gear out in the open for anyone to get they grubby hands on? You tell us what you want, show us some credit and then we go grab it for yah'. She would stand up after a stretch, going to stand in front of Raithe. 'So, what do you want?'

Little notice is taken of them as they arrive, just another returning shuttle.

"Thank you for the lift. Do try not to crash this one. May the Force be with you."

"Mistress?"

Kai-wan exits the shuttle like he belongs there. Walden's departure may have drawn more notice, but the bustling hangar is busy securing from the action, preparing to jump.

Before making his way into the interior, the security droid scans their new setting, noting any untoward responses to their presence.

Ryff would step forward asking, "Do you have a NX-14 Needler?" He starts thinking to himself, "I hope this works."

Walden wasn't sure why K-1SO and Oola would intend to board the Interdictor, but Gaze needed help badly and Walden was the best chance they had to get him back to Republic space.

Oola stood almost hiding behind K-1. This is insane Wan. We get out of this alive I'm putting you through at least 6 faulty wire checks!

Unaware of the arrival of Oola and K-1 to the station, Muu begins to question whether these two were the silhouette individuals in his vision. Upon hearing their plan, the Iktotchi politely declined and sought to return Gaze to refuge. Unequipped to handle the human padawan's medical state, Muu thought the station was his best bet. The arbiter dragged Gaze's unconscious body to the cockpit from the cargo-hold sealing it shut so the brave duo could continue on with their mission. Perhaps, these infiltrators will discover the location and plans of the newfound enemy of the Republic.

" Lieutenant Fraistor, now is no time for rest...." Zoroku would say as he stood before the Wounded Officer waiting for him to open his eyes and acknowledge him, " The Admiral of this Station is dead leaving you and Captain Medwim as the two highest ranking officers on this station." Zoroku would extend his hand to help him up, " I was in the middle of debriefing the admiral of the very enemy that just attacked us, The Sith. Seeing as we are likely at war it is no longer prudent to keep the information known only to the top most of republic brass. Can you Contact the Captain and summon her here, there is much to discuss."

The weapons dealer would let out a whistle at the request for the weapon. 'Refined taste. They're not cheap, but let me see what we can do'. She would not to the Aqualish would grunt in response before disappearing through a second door. As he leaves, the woman would gesture tot he pair. 'He'll find what you need, but I need to see some credit first. These things got smuggled in with a lot of bribes going into this. We're looking at 1,000 credits'.

At the Foerost station, the sith shuttle would take off and leave the shuttle, and fortunately would not be spotted by the soldiers and crew in the interdictor. They are too busy preparing for leaving and dealing with their own wounded. Moments after the shuttle clears the hanger, there is a low whumph as the interdictor and the other captured vessels leave the system. It's time to get Gaze some much needed medical attention before his condition gets any worse.

Aboard the ship, Oola and Kai-Wan would be largely ignored as medics run to the wounded and the uninjured reform into their units to leave the hanger or stow away equipment. There is no sign of black robed figures or lightsaber wielders. In fact the only people of rank seem to be regular humans dressed in grey dress uniforms. The uniforms are eerily similar to republic uniforms, simply with a change of colour from orange to grey. Other than the officers, there are a few soldiers here and there dressed in a red variant of the armour that seem to be superior to the others around them. It will not be long before they are spotted as being outsiders however, they need to figure out their plan soon, and move fast to avoid capture or worse.

No one seems to be particularly interested in us, as yet..

"I would like to access a more.. discreetly located terminal, prior to.. reporting in. If we are challenged, just be your usual charming self."

Kai-wan is striding purposefully toward a hatch, that seems to be receiving less traffic than the others, exiting the hangar.

Ryff thinks for a moment and says, "If you knock the price down to 650 credits, I can tell all the right people you're the guy to buy good quality arms. Ryff also adds, "It's like having the street cred without all the unwanted attention. What do you say?"

The woman's cocky smile would turn to a sour frown as she moves back to the table. 'How about we keep the price the same and things remain civil'. As she finishes she would place a large blaster pistol from her belt onto the table with a dull bang. 'You're new to the crime scene clearly, so I won't take it personally, this time'.

As she finishes, the Aqualish would emerge from the other door, a black case clutched in his hands. He would grunt something unintelligible to the woman who would nod in response. 'Now, let's see those credits'.
