    Default Episode I: A Lit Beacon (SWSE)

    The Crawl.

    The Variseel Starliner drops out of Hyperspace, altering her course for the next leg of her cruise across the Outer Rim. Several passengers came aboard for the annual Sabacc Championship.



    A news blast downloads itself from the Holonet, and plays itself on displays across the ship.

    On Naboo today, terrorists bombed the Sith Sector office, killing thirty and wounding several hundred others. The terrorists, calling themselves the True Way organization, have claimed responsibility for the attack. Sith officials have places bounties on the members of the organization, including the suspected leader, Scaza Meroth. All citizens of the Empire are reminded that their duty is to report any activity against the Empire or your fellow citizen. Remember, your life is in your neighbor's hand.

    As had become the usual procedure over his last few months aboard the ship, Shevan had stationed himself in the commons area and left orders to be paged on his comlink or the ship's system if his services were needed in the medical bay. At the news blast, he shook his head and pulled out his datapad, checking the ship's itinerary to see if they'd be near Naboo anytime soon.

    Mace, sitting in the lounge and listened to the news Brief and cringed, but mostly at the mention of his home world. It had been little over 3 years since he'd been cashiered out of Royal Naboo Security Forces and the memory's still hart.

    In the Warp Star Casino, there was a small stage against the back wall. A few musicians next to it played a jazzy tune. On the stage, a statuesque blond with a heart shaped face swayed to the music. Her tight silk gown of sapphire silk, patterned in white, fit snugly over her chest, and the skirt was slit high on both sides.

    Light blue eyes closed and the girl's hands stretched over her head.

    When Dani had made this identity, she'd amused herself by crafting the most beautiful human form she could, from wavy blond locks to the small of her back, to trim waist, flared hips, and round bosom. She hadn't realized that a side affect of her work would be that she could pay for her travels by simply dancing for other passengers. Growing up with a frantic schedule of lessons, chores, and combat training, she'd learned to dance like this as a way of letting her mind roam free and relax. Even the faster songs, where she'd twirl energeticly about the stage, were not half so physically taxing as combat training. No, this job was the most relaxing she'd ever had.

    As a screen over the bar switched on and the music stuttered to a halt, the blond's eyes opened and turned to the hollo net feed. Though the report implicated murder, her brow narrowed as she regarded the screen. She knew full well that the Sith ruled with an iron gauntlet in one hand and dark sorcery in the other. What had really happened? Where they really terrorists? Or was that a military target? Where they motivated by ideals or just undirected resentment?

    "Hmmm..."
    A woman with deep crimson hair and bright, mesmerizingly blue eyes watched the news broadcast with both curiosity and excitement. It wasn't that she enjoyed this oligarchy the Sith had, but rather, the money offered for the bounties. After her last target's death being a bit more messy than she had wanted, she had decided to take a break from the life of slaughter.

    Perhaps she wasn't a perfect little princess but she had a reason for this life choice. To get stronger and get her vengeance.

    Running a finger delicately along her lower visage, along the scars running down her full lips, she sighed. What happened to that little girl who always smiled... It was often a thought she pushed to the back of her mind. She had grown up. She was young, and naturally beautiful just like her mother. Those looks were but a ploy. In reality, she was a killer by trade. Fiex Raeth, once the daughter of a diplomat father and Echani mother.

    "Stuck on a Luxury Liner with a Casino. Could be worse..."

    Kaz'Myn was making her rounds in the Warp Star Casino greeting it's many patrons. Her mouth hurt from all the forced smiling she had to do. She danced a little to the music that the band had been playing. She just didn't get it.

    She looked over to the stage and saw Dani dancing without a care in the galaxy. She made it look easy. Dani had mentored Kaz when she arrived on the Variseel Starliner. Kaz felt that she was going to need at least three sonic showers just to get the dirtiness off of her. Many of the casinos male patrons were drunk and they felt the need to place their hands on various parts of her body. Her neck hurt from the many pulls her Lekku received.

    But that was all part of the ruse. She was here to meet with a rebel informant, then see him or her back to Nar Shadda. She knew that the harder she worked, the sooner she'd find out what happened to Kord.

    The music stopping snapped her out of her reverie. She frowned at the news. What ever Kord had gotten himself into, she knew in her heart that he'd never be apart of something like that.

    A small chime dings overhead, the signal for a shipwide announcement.

    This is your captain speaking. We are preparing to drop out of Hyperspace in the Naboo system. We have received travel advisories and therefore will be skipping the usual surface tour, however, we do have several facilities to aid in an orbital view of some of the ancient Naboo city ruins. All crew please assist the passengers with returning to seating facilities. We will be returning to realspace in five minutes.

    With a soft whump the hyperdrive cut out, replaced by powerful sublight engines.

    Attention. Attention. The Sabacc tournament will begin in one hour. All who wish to play should proceed to the WarpStar Casino immediately. Any passengers who wish to view the ancient ruins on Naboo, please proceed to the observation lounge on deck eleven. Have a pleasant day.

    The Sabacc tournament gets underway, and all of you eventually find yourselves there.

    Players and regular patrons alike each are coming and going, and the mood in the room is mostly cheerful. Sabacc spectators are making bets on some of the tables hoping that they can come up lucky tonight. An hour passes, then two. As the third hour starts to settle in, the sunlight engines begin to wind down. As they whined to a sputtering halt, the doors to the casino burst open and several blaster bolts shot out.

    "Nobody move! I am Lieutenant Stardin, with the Imperial Navy. We are searching for a fugitive. Have your identifications out and prepare for processing!"

    Kaz'Myn started feeling nervous, very nervous. This was supposed to be a simple meet and greet. Her contact was supposed to come up to her and give the password, then they were supposed to get off at Naboo. Now the Sith were here. Now she understood the looks she got at the rebel HQ on Nar Shadda when she told them that she would use her own name, not something they made up. Solo was a common name, wasn't it? Did they know something she didn't? "Oh no, Kaz. What have you gotten yourself into now?" She whispered to herself.

    As the doors ripped open and blaster shots cut through, Fiex instinctively went for her blaster rifle. Upon hearing who it was outside the door, she let the blaster hand on her shoulder, knowing to shoot would be a fools' job, and she had no reason to. She was no rebel. She was a Mandalorian and Echani by blood and a warrior through heritage.

    Standing tall, she watched others with worry and terror on their face, and smirked. She has had worse situations, and one quick sweep for a rebel spy should be simple. If she had to fight, she would. The heavy blaster she owned was always hidden in her shirt and her fists were even adequate right now. She highly doubted she'd be in any problem though. The only person who will die was the one who crossed the empire.

    Shevan had been drinking Corellian tea and talking to a relatively friendly Mon Calamari noble for the past two hours. Sabacc bored him, even if it was the only source of reliable injury onboard the ship that he had to treat (mostly bruises and minor abrasions). As the Imperial Agents stepped aboard, Shevan put on the most calm and neutral face he could muster, knowing Kaminoans were not popular.

    Shevan stood, medical pack on his shoulders and weapons not drawn, and prepared to be searched. He hoped this was all over soon...his tea would get cold. "There's no need for alarm, fellow guests. If everyone remains calm and orderly, this search should be done in no time. The Empire is known for their efficiency", Shevan said in his best doctorly reassuring voice to the nearby passengers.

    Mace had spent most of his time since there arrival at Naboo at the Warp Star Casino in joying the Sabacc tournament he had even joined one of the games but was knocked out of his game with in the first hour, when Mace first heard the blaster fire his hand went to his holstered blaster pistol but when he heard who had fired the shot, Mace let his hand dropped from his holster and instead with drew his identification Card.

    War droids stomp down the carpeting between the various tables and aisles. Occasionally they pull a being aside and shove them into a line queuing by the door.

    A droid stops in front of each of you. The large hulking frame whirs slightly as it takes your identification. You each see this happening to dozens of people. For most of them, the identification card is handed back. A few people are taken aside for interrogation.

    As the droids process your IDs, another blaster shot rings out. A man stumbles down the main aisle and collapses, the smoking hole in his back sizzling the fabrics of his clothing. The droid that shot him places it's blaster back into the holster in its leg which folds itself neatly back into the droids leg.

    The other droids carry on as though nothing has happened, and the Sith officer looks bored. Without warning, each of the droids grabs you by the arm.

    ~Being. You are under arrest. You will not resist.~

    The droids march you, along with another twenty or so people, down corridors and into a turbolift. From there, you are taken onto a shuttle and separated into various cells. You all end up in the same cell block, and you note your things sitting atop a nearby table. Placing you into holding fields, the droids then leave, the door slamming shut with a loud clang.

    If being arrested wasn't enough.... "By the damn teeth of the Rancor.."

    She said this through tight lips. She hated being trapped, hated it to the core of her being. She could feel her blood boiling and if she had the chance, she'd kill all of the imperial scrum that dared treat her like an animal. Swallowing her pride and anger she opened her mouth to speak. "Why, pray tell, am I being caged up with all these civilians? Last time I checked, I wasn't a rebel spy."

    Kaz'Myn watched as the droid left. She could a hear a woman say something nearby. Kaz didn't like enclosed spaces, or at least this enclosed. Her mind was busy trying to come up with any ideas, whenever she had one it quickly faded away.

    "Blaster bolts. Blaster bolts. " she started saying quietly, until she yelled it one more time. "Blaster Bolts!" She then kicked the field with her foot.

    "Ow! That hurt!" Kaz'Myn exclaimed, then quickly sat down. Nursing her now injured foot and ego.

    Shevan quietly complied, not wanting to create a scene or get shot himself. Now, he stood somewhat hunched in the holding cell. Humans: never considerate of the need for taller and more evolved beings. Sigh.

    "Imperial Officers, I am certain that you have important inqueries for all of us. I am also certain that I am not involved with any Rebellion. I have never been to Naboo, for one thing. I know if we all sit down and talk, we can find that there has been a misunderstanding somewhere."

    Throughout the first few hours of the tournament, Dani danced with sensual energy, sometimes swaying like a feminine serpent with her eyes closed and bliss on her features; others opening them and slowly meeting the eyes of everyone who watched her dance.

    When not on stage, she circulated through the crowd, flirting cheerfully with the contestants—though not in any way that would distract them from their games. Her strategy for earning tips—either directly, or into her jar when dancing—was too flirt with men who were good players, but had just lost a few hands. This way, she didn’t come off too much like a gold digger—not like the waitresses and dancing girls who flitted from winner to winner.

    Then she stuck with the men into their next few games, maybe sitting on their knee or standing behind them, rubbing their shoulders gently. She knew better than to interrupt a heated round of sabac. Inevitably, the men she’d chosen would find a turn of fortune and begin to win. Then she inevitably would collect a few chips down her bodice or pressed into her hand along with excited hugs and the occasional polite kisses.

    Eventually, she’d spot another good player on a loosing streak, or a manager glaring at her for spending too much time with one player, or note it was time to relieve a dancer. Then she would kiss her current friend on the corner of the lips, thank him for a wonderful time, and move on.

    Dani was on the stage again when red blaster bolts sizzled through the door. She gasped and—for just a moment—the textured golden belt around her waist rippled… She forced herself to calm down quickly and lift her purse, fishing out her identification and offering the war droid the same polite smile she’d offer to an organic authority figure.

    It was hard. On some deep primordial level, her people distrusted hard tech, and things made to emulate life most especially! Though she spent much of her childhood integrating hard tech with biotech for cross compatibility—somethng she had a knack for—her first encounter with a droid had been an uncomfortable surpise.

    This promised to be at least as bad.

    Keeping her breath even, she trusted in her craft and skill at disguise to keep them from noticing her ooglith masquer—the false, living skin that made her a vong in human clothing—or her amphistaff—cunningly concealed as a belt. She was more concerned about her identification. No one had realized yet that it was a cunning forgery yet crafted by a skilled mentor. It also had yet to be tested by such intense scrutiny. She let some of her nerves show as the questions continued, and gave an honest shriek when a man was shot before their eyes!

    Dani was no stranger to death—she’d dealt it out herself, to sentients, on at least three occasions. But violence in defense of herself or another had not desensitized her to such casual murder!

    She gave another startled cry when she was hauled away to be maintained. Thanking no one—or perhaps those odd ‘god’ things some in this universe venerated—that she’d left the rest of her biotech firmly locked away in a trunk in her room, she let the droid take her purse and hoped they would consider her ‘belt’ part of her outfit and leave it be.

    Not much later, she found herself in a small holding cell, wondering if she was on the same ship or had been cunningly transferred to another. She looked around carefully, cornflower blue eyes noting her effects sitting on a table. With a firm nod, she started to sit back and relax. Then she noted the others, and among them—having a bit of a panic attack—was Kaz’ Myn.

    The twi’lek was a beautiful shade of scarlet with long, enticing lekku. Almost beautiful enough to make her wish she’d crafted a twi’lek guise instead of human. Kaz’Myn was also a co-worker. Having joined a few months later than she had, Dani had been able to show her the ropes.

    “Kaz’myn,” she called out in a musical voice. [COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]“Relax. Please relax. Breathe the way I taught you when you were having that bout of stage fright. I’m with you. We’ll get through this together.” [/COLOR]

    "I would listen to your friend, Twi'lek." The voice comes from behind you. You see a olive skinned man dressed in an impeccable Sith Uniform step out of the shadows. Upon reaching the central table with your possessions he turns around.

    He moves his head just enough to take each of you in. You get the distinct feeling that he is determining whether or not to cook and eat you. He seems almost bored as he speaks again.

    "You are each being charged with various crimes against the Empire. They range from petty theft, to murder, to piracy, I believe I also saw the word treason among the charges."

    As he speaks the word treason, he lifts his hand up to the light, inspecting it as he continues.

    "However, Darth Coora is not entirely without mercy. She is willing to drop the charges against each of you in return for a small favor. There is a small set of ruins on Naboo. Contained within is a manuscript that my Lady desires. Obtain it, and the charges will mysteriously vanish."

    He waves his hand imperiously at the set of controls nearby. "Or there is always the wonderfully delicious option of triggering the torture fields. Your decision."

    Kaz looks over at the doctor. She had seen him a few times around the ship, talking to some of the crew. She was scared, even more scared than the morning Kord left. She still had the jacket he had told her to hold on to. It was to big for her, but whenever she wore it she felt safe. She wanted the jacket.

    The scary Sith had mentioned something about Naboo. Before everything that happened, she had wanted to spend a few days on Naboo. Mostly doing the site seeing stuff that the tourists on the Starliner did. Her mom had wanted to take holovids of everywhere she went. It hurt Kaz to have lied to her mom, but she had to find Kord.

    Somewhere she had found the courage to speak, "Wha....what kind of manuscript?"

    A few thoughts juggled around in her mind for a moment. Perhaps take the manuscript for her own? They were the ones who locked her up. At first it was a sound plan, but the Sith Empire had eyes everywhere. Revenge would come later.

    She eyed the man suspiciously, examining the others through her peripherals. "Yes. What is this manuscript exactly? Sending a doctor and two luxury liner dancers down there? Must not be worth much to you... But you tell me some details and give me my weapons back and I'll see what I can do."

    The blond girl stood tall with the Sith officer entered. He radiated contempt and danger—something she was not unused to among her own people—but also barely contained violence. She arched an eyebrow, instincts telling her to hold her head high and show no weakness.

    And thus, as mysteriously as the charges appeared, they would vanish. But why choose us for their stooges? Do they know what I am? Or perhaps someone told them about that bar brawl on Damascus 3? Those two gamoreans really were a disappointment.

    Exactly how much to the Sith really care about us after all these centuries…

    Shevan's very nearly glared at the officer before remembering his manners. Had to be polite, even if others weren't. Very well. I accept your invitation to work with Darth Coora temporarily in finding a lost manuscript, in exchange for a dismissal of all charges that are leveled at me. In the future, Darth Coora and the Empire should know that I am happy to be of service. I travel the rim to help, after all. The arrests and torture fields are quite unnecessary."

    "Excellent." The man snaps his fingers and the main door opens again, droids marching in precise formation.

    "Take their things down to escape pod 16. The target coordinates will be entered by the bridge crew. The pod may not be large enough for all of them and their things. Make them fit."

    ~Affirmative~

    You never even realized that the ship you were taken to was in flight until you saw it through a viewport. You could the Variseel Starliner in the distance, and it was getting smaller by the second. The droids escort you to an escape pod, and without shame or humility begin cramming you into it.

    You do all fit, fortunately, and soon the acceleration boosters fire, and you are soon on your way. A holo emitter in the pods interior flicks to life and the officer from the cells speaks in his same bored tone of voice.

    "Just so you know where you stand, outside the ruins you are heading for, an entire battalion of war droids is waiting for you. They are under strict orders to shoot on sight unless you have the manuscript. Now. You are heading for the ruins of an ancient Naboo city called Te'asa. The ruins were the home city of a General of some importance from the age of the Ancient Republic. My mistress has obtained the location of these ruins, and believes that his war journals are within those ruins. Every bounty hunter we have sent in to find the manuscript has failed or never returned. You will find the manuscript and return to me in Theed. I am sure that you will be able to succeed where professional soldiers have failed."

    His cold chuckle echoes in the cramped pod as the holo emitter powers down.

    "It seems that working with you is a lot better than the alternatives."

    The redhead eyes glanced at her soon-to-be companions, sizing them up. Hopefully her 'comrades' wouldn't slow her down. The faster she was done here, the better.

    "Fiex Raeth, bounty hunter, at your service. While hunting down living beings is more my forte, I'm not against getting some dusty old papers for the Dark Lady of the Sith. It would be my pleasure, and if she needs my help in the future, a letter or visit works much better. I'm not against helping the Sith."

    The amount of foot-licking made her want to gag, but she wasn't in a position to demand anything. Just get this job completed and move on, she thought.

    Cramped and pressed closely to his fellow prisoners, Shevan tried his best to sound dignified. "Mistress Anmika and Mistress Solo, I believe? It is good to see you again. I am also happy to make your acquaintance, fellow, erm, guests of the Empire. I wish only it was under more open and casual circumstances. I am Doctor Shevan Lau.

    He pauses for several moments.

    "I don't suppose any of you happen to be expert warriors, bounty hunters, gunslingers, or archaeologists?"

    I'll assume that Surgery Kit is lost for now? It's cool if so, my own fault for dumping strength. We have all our other gear though, right?

    Also, Galactic Lore check on anything Doc might know about Naboo, Te'asa, and any generals of note from there: (1d20+7)[24]
