*Kali looks back at Lee*
Umm... no idea. But hell, they sure will come in handy now. Last thing I remember is... umm... something about singing twisted rancors and buying wookiees on Korriban... and...
*she intentionally leaves out the part about kissing Atton*
And, yeah. That's it. Nothing more. Nope. That's everything I remember.

*Lee looks down at his uniform.*
Yeah, they will. Figures I'd be drunk and stumble into the best cover.
*Lee makes a face as Kali mentions some of the things she remembers.*
I remember being with you. But I don't remember a thing we did.
*Lee rubs his head.*
I must have been hitting it pretty hard. Been awhile since I've been this hungover.
*Lee looks back out the viewport to Dantooine. He pauses for a few moments before speaking.*
Been awhile.
*Lee gives another pause, then something seems to pop into his head.*
Well, let's see who's home.
*Lee walks into the back of the Hawk and makes his way to the workbench again to do some more saber modification before he has to leave the Hawk.*

*Atton looks over to Kali and gives her a nod. He then turns around to face forward in the chair.*
As you wish.
*He takes the controls and the Ebon Hawk, now dubbed the Ninja Pidgeon, makes it's way to the surface.*
*He listens to Lee and Kali's conversation.*
Right, all you can remember. Guess Lee wasn't the only one hitting it hard then.
*Atton wasn't usually subtle, but he did his best to dance around his words focusing on a particular event that occured between Kali and himself and made it more of a general statement.*
*When Lee walks out, Atton shakes his head.*
My money's on him modifying his saber for the umpteenth time.

*Atton lands the Ebon Hawk, now dubbed the Ninja Pidgeon, at the Khoonda Docking Port.*
Great. Yet another planet I don't have fond memories of. That makes three in a row.
*Atton shuts off the engines and turns around to look at Kali.*
Well. We're here. Let's get this show on the road.
*Atton stands up, gives Kali another glance, then makes his way to the back of the Hawk towards the ramp. As he does, he notices Lee working on his sabers. Atton grins and shouts so that the crew can hear him.*
By the way, somebody owes me money!

*Kali follows after Atton. He walks toward the exit, and Kali stops in the main hold*
Hold up, flyboy. We've gotta get a few things straight.
*Everyone was more or less in the main hold. Kali, Atton, Mira, Lee, Shim, Ze, T3, and HK*
Okay, so here's the deal everyone! We're a Czerka Corporation crew here to pick up a shipment of stem-bolts. I'm not sure what stem-bolts are, hopefully it won't matter. Anyways, I'm your captain, Captain Shadee. Lee will be the other officer, the rest of you are either techs or hired hands. Whichever works better for you. Keep the lightsabers hidden and usage to a minimum. We don't want to attract any attention. Lee and I will handle the 'problem' with the shipping orders. Ze and T3 should probably stay on the ship. They're the best to deal with anything if something goes wrong. HK, Mira. You're with Lee and I. Shim and Atton can head over to the Cantina and start mingling. See if you can pick up any leads on any survivors from the Enclave. Anything that might give us a footing here in case something goes bad. Once we've got our bases covered, then we go after the Holocrons. Questions?

*Atton stops in his tracks and follows behind Kali to the main hold.* He listens intently to what she has to say and nods in agreement.*
Cantina sounds like the best place to go. Lots of mingling and stuff to do.
*Atton smirked. Now it was *his* turn to go drinking at the cantina and have all the fun while Lee did all the serious work.*

*Lee had been spending most of the descent and landing working on his sabers. When Atton yelled something about someone owing him money, Lee looked over at him with suspicion. He then glanced back down at his sabers. He was almost done. All that was left was to connect them. With a twist and a click, his two sabers were now one. As Atton walked away, Lee activated the double blade, two silver blades springing to life on either end with a sharp humm. Lee spun the blades about as he twisted with the motion, then deactivated it. Satisfied of his work, he walked into the main hold where Kali had just started talking.*
Sounds like I get a pretty important part to play.
*Lee looks at his saber hilt then conceals it on him.*
Just your regular every day czerka officer!
*When Lee heard mention of a cantina, a thought came to his mind, as well as a smirk.*
Nope, no questions at all.

*Ze follows Atton and Kali out of the cockpit. He listens silently to Kali taking command of the situation. He agrees with staying behind, he didn't know anything about this planet and he'd probably just get in the way of their mission. He shakes his head when she asks if he has any questions*

*I walk with the others to the Main Hold, and then wait as Kali explains the situation and everything. While she's talking, I conceal my saber on me, so that I have it on me though out of plain sight. After she's finished, I nod, and say to Atton,*
"I'm ready when you are, Atton."
*I smiled, and waited for Atton to be ready, standing up in the mean time*

*Mira emerges from the Ebon Hawk, having intentionally avoided all of the awkwardness that she knew would ensue once the two drunkards woke up, wearing a different outfit from her usual bounty hunter regalia, though with no less leather. For all intents and purposes, she looked like some merc that Czerka hired off the street to guard a valuable shipment, which, considering Czerka's mercenary hiring practices, wasn't unlikely. She also has some pretty conspicuous explosives on her. And some not so conspicuous ones as well, in case port security ended up being too much of a pain to blow up in the first place.*
*She gives HK-47 the evil eye.*
"Do I really have to go with that psychopath droid?"

*Kali shrugs*
Well... I was thinking you've probably already had your fair share of fun-time with Atton in the recent months. But if you want to hang out with him and all his lovely lady friends at the cantina, Mira, go right ahead.

*Atton rolls his eyes and responds to Kali's remark of lady friends at the cantina.*
Still on that, are we? Well good, nice to know you stay consistant. Drunk, sober, or otherwise.
*Atton looks over to Master Shim.*
Yeah, sure thing. I'm more than ready for a round of drinks at the cantina, lady friend.
*Atton turns from Master Shim and starts making his way towards the ramp.*

"Well, at least this planet is less conductive to bar crawls. But if I have to carry your sorry asses back to the ship again, I'll make sure that alcoholism is the least of your worries."
*She shrugs in defeat.*
"Whatever. As long as these things get blown up right, I'll deal with it."
*She heads off to the ramp, grumbling incoherently.*

*Lee turns to Mira as she makes her way in and smirks when she mentions something about HK-47. He then turns to Kali.*
Yeah, are we sure we want to bring him? It's bad enough having a planet full of sithies. Having to watch my back as well? HK's already tried to do me in once.
*Lee rubs his eyes after he finishes speaking to Kali, the hangover still present. He could only hope it'd go away soon before business really picked up. He squints with one eye, while rubbing the other as he looks over to Atton. He then watches him leave.*
Man, who needs soaps when you're hanging around here?
*Lee gives his eye one last rub before looking around at everyone.*
Well, I'm going to ignore the awkward tension and say we should go ahead and get this show on the road. The sith aren't getting any older and they don't die anyway. Apparently.
*Lee watches as Mira walks off.*
I'll just...follow her.
*Lee exits the ship behind Mira.*

*Kali starts to open her mouth to respond to Atton. She hadn't meant it like that... she didn't know exactly what she meant actually, but apparently it had pissed Atton off. Great... another thing she probably screwed up last night*
*Atton leaves, then Mira, then Lee. Kali shakes her head slightly in disbelief but then brushes it off. Tension between party members was not what they needed right now when heading out on a dangerous mission like this. Oh well, she'd deal with it. She did during the Purge*
Come on HK. Lets see if we can't find some 'meatbags' for you to shoot at.
"Exclamation: Oh I do hope so, Master! My assassination protocols have gone largely unused for far too long, I am eager to calibrate them."
Uh-huh. Let's go.
*She looks back at Ze and T3*
You two, try not to blow the ship up while we're gone.
*HK and Kali exit the Ebon Hawk after Atton, Mira, and Lee*

"We will strive not to cause any catastrophic failures in any primary systems during your absence."

*Ze boards the Ebon Hawk not more than a minute or two after he exited, this time with specific instructions - to create a computer virus that would disrupt and/or shut down the Khoonda's computer core, making it impossible to check up on the Czerka order form files that the Hawk's crew claimed to have. He heads to the Security Room just off of the Cockpit and sits down at one of the stations, and begins constructing a virus from scratch*
*T3-M4 enters the Secuirty Room and whistles a question*
Dweoo woop?
"Your master instructed me to construct a computer virus to insert into the Khoonda mainframe. She thinks it may buy them more time so that they can complete their mission."
Dwoop wooo...?
"No, don't worry. I have it contained on a secure data card. It won't get into any of the Hawk's systems."
Be beep?
*Ze smiles and turns around to face the droid*
"Of course. I'd love to have your help. You can start by programming a transfer matrix encryption code. We need to make sure they can't stop it from spreading."
*Ze spins back around and continues working*
*T3 plugs into another workspace and begins working as well*
"I'm working on the transfer matrix itself right now. I want it to target data files, records, basic command codes and functions, override control, and any lockout procedures. Hardwired circuitry only, I don't want this affecting any droids. That would just be cruel."
Dweoop dweep beep bizzip boop bedeet?
"Yes, I've worked a lot with droids actually. Most of my time at RaMADaCAfTWNtHM I was in the Department of Android Development and Never Before Seen Designs for Artificial Lifeform Components. I personally have conceived of, designed, built, modified, repaired, and-unfortunately-disassembled exactly three hundred and seventy-two individual droids. I have also designed twenty-seven different droid upgradable components. My entire life's work thus far has been for the betterment of droids. It's amazing how some individuals see droids as second class citizens or sub-sentient. It was that biased and self-centric attitude of many of my people that drove me to leave, in fact. Maybe that was selfish... when I could have been helping droids earn their rights back in the hive, but I ... I just knew that there was something out there, out here, that I had to do. Maybe it was the Force that guided me, like Master Shim said. I'm not sure."
Dwoooo.... Be deet boop.
*Ze laughs*
"Yeah, maybe it is my inner droid. Well, let's see what we can get accomplished."
*Ze and T3 continue to work on the computer virus together for several hours*

Post by Ar'kikze S'ss'nixztoo on Sept 28, 2009 0:58:45 GMT -5
*After several hours of hard work, Ze and T3 have created a near-unstoppable computer virus capable of targeting all data files, records, basic command codes and functions, override control, and lockout procedures in the Khoonda system... or any system for that matter. In the wrong hands this virus could devastate a planetary defense grid or a capital ship. Though Ze had put hundreds of safeguards in place making it so only he could activate and copy the virus. And of course it had to be done manually. Finally after finishing Ze sits back in his chair and looks over at T3*
"Well... congratulations little friend, we did it. And in a quarter of the time I had calculated."
Dweoop beep beeop wooo.
"Yes, we do make a pretty good team don't we? Well we better let your Master know that it's ready."
*Ze pulls out his commlink and then looks up Kali's comm frequency on the Hawk's main computer then types it in. He opens up a comm to her*
"Master Black? This is Ar'kikze S'ss'nixztoo. Do you copy?"
*There is no response*
"Master Black? Master Black, come in."

*All Ze gets in response is a whole lot of static. The cave system that Kali and her crew are in have cut off all reception in and out. As long as they are in the caves, they cannot be communicated with*

*Ze taps the commlink several times until it becomes apparent that the problem was not mechanical, but rather that something was blocking the signal*
"Something is blocking the signal, Teethree."
Dweeoop woo? Beep?
"But how could they be jamming us if... if they didn't know that we were coming!? No... no, if we had been discovered they would have stormed the ship already. Didn't they say they were headed to some kind of cave system?"
Dweep.
"Right. So it's probably just interference from being too deep underground."
Bweoop dwoooo beep beep?
"You're right, Master Black wanted this taken care of immediately. But she didn't realize we'd be done so soon. If we could get this virus into the Sith mainframe sooner it'd give them more time, and they'd have a better chance at finding whatever it was that they were looking for."
Dweep.... boop?
"I guess I'll have to do it."
WOOP!?
Yes. Me. Is that a problem?
Dweep!? Weeoop wooo dwoop beep boop. Bizzip brrrrwooo, bibeep boop boop beedeet. Breet bizzzzit bweeooo.... Dweeep boop boop bedeet beep biiizzz dedeet. Dweep dedeet dweep bweeee.... Weeoop wooo dwoop boop. Bizzip bibeep boop beedeet. Breet bweeooo....
"Okay, okay, okay. I get it. It won't be easy. But your masters need all the time they can get, and this will give them a lot of time. I can do this."
Bedeet?
"I don't know how. But I'll find a way."
*Ze looks around the room and nods his head, trying to reassure himself that what he says is true and swallows loudly*
"I'll find a way."

*After a few hours of preparation, Ze feels that he is ready. He places his small tech service droid, PK-1, on the floor and presses the droid's photoreceptor. The photoreceptor begins to glow bright red and then the tiny droid unfolds, revealing its spindly legs. He beeps a happy hello*
"It is agreeable to see you as well, Pekay. Teethree and I have been very busy working on a very important program. And we are going to need your help."
*The tiny droid looks around and beeps an agreeable response*
"I was certain that we could count on you. Now. Here's the plan....
*Ze explains the plan in full to PK-1, with T3-M4 chiming in occasionally to offer his opinion or advice. After a few minutes. PK beeps that he is ready*
"Okay. Good. We will be using the stealth belt I found in the back until we get close enough. Then it's up to you. Lets go. T3, you'll be monitoring the outside activity. I've already given you standard radio-wave frequency in which all communication takes place within the Verpine hive mind on the world from which I originate from. Just contact me that way if you need to."
Dweep.
*Ze nods to the little astromech droid and then picks up PK-1. He swipes the datacard containing the virus and then heads to the Ebon Hawk's exit*
"Well... here goes nothing."
*Ze reaches down and activates the stealth belt. The portable stealth field generator activates and he and PK-1 disappear from view. He presses the release button on the boarding ramp, and then exits the Ebon Hawk*

*Having destroyed the external ramp controls, Bandon reaches out through the Force but senses no one aboard. He nevertheless keeps his lightsaber at the ready as he walks up the ramp. Being overconfident had cost him dearly before, and he wasn't about to make that mistake again.*
*Turning to his right at the top of the ramp, Bandon enters the main area and finds it empty. He decides to search the cockpit and see if he can learn anything about where the ship has been recently, and heads down the cooridor while keeping his senses alert for any nasty suprises. After all, he had installed booby traps on HIS personal ship, so maybe the Exile had installed some on her ship, too.*

*In the cockpit of the Ebon Hawk T3-M4 waits patiently for word from either Kali's group or from Ze. Suddenly the indicator light flips on that the hatch has been opened. T3, already plugged into the Hawk's systems flips on the viewscreen to see who it is. Seeing no one immediately he cycles through the different video feeds. Expecting one of the crew he is quite surprised when he sees none of them and instead a menacing looking bald man wielding a lightsaber stalking toward cockpit*
Bweep!
*T3 acts quickly and closes the blast door to the cockpit, the engine room, and the communications room - sealing off all the critical systems from Bandon. Knowing the only people on the ship to be the Sith, HK-47, and himself T3 begins venting toxic fumes from the engine coolant system through the life support system in an attempt to subdue the invader*
*Elsewhere on the ship, HK-47's auditory processors pick up a short series of sounds. First a lightsaber hum, then the slamming of several blast doors, followed by the hissing noise of noxious fumes being pumped into the Ebon Hawk. He opens up his internal comlink to T3*
Query: Have you once again inadvertently crippled the life support systems, or is there an unwanted visitor aboard the vessel?
::Dweeoop wooo! Beezzip bedeet!?::
Reassurance: My short rotund little friend, Sith Lords are my specialty.
*HK exits the port dormitory and then waits in the corridor just to the left side of the main room, with his blaster at the ready*
