[center][b]Siths and Shenanigans at the Mountain Resort Part II[/b] Azazel & Co. at Pavia in the Tepani Sector[/center] --- Azazel meanwhile still lies in wait and then after a moment Xen comes in again. "Well... we engaged them, Kitt... almost twisted one's head off... while we shot some others... and then... Hakkri.. .well... the remaining ones... started killing each other..." Azazel still tries to lei in wait for Traiserus but senses nothing... now however she hears voices from up ahead. "Team three stopped reporting in, near the vehicle bay." "Can't raise the guards there." "Ferglutz, thats where they have gone, round up everyone! Now!" Followed by hurried footsteps and shouting, the first guards rounding the corner, four of them, running towards the vehicle bay. Pride swells in her for a moment before she hears the guards. Without further ado, she takes off in a dead sprint after her followers. Grimacing at her burning, now growing leaden legs, she reports into her commlink, “All guards are coming in on your location. Go.” As Azazel arrives, she sees a particularly fancy speeder waiting with the ramp down for her. As she glances around she would not only notice this speeder was far more luxurious... but that the others all had their hoods up and apparent blaster shots riddled through them. She blinks and smiles, still feeling more of that pride that her followers were doing so well thinking ahead and planning for themselves. She turns about, concealment falling as she closes her eyes, wishing for silent forgiveness that she would be unable to end this now. “Go, now... This is a lost call...” As they make it back to the OS-80, Azazel simply falls back, flopping into a chair and buries her face in her hands. The hair Hakkri had spent so long setting up neatly had fallen and was now loose and in frays. Her dress was in shambles and looked more like rags. Kitt nestles beside her in a similar state. Azazel looks, and also notices a large chest on the ship with them, and Janii. She sighs and catches her breath as Xen moves forward, “I've contacted Bezol to rendezvous with us... Oh, and this Janii wishes a word,” he gestures at the trunk, “Don't know what that's about, but she insisted on taking it with us.” Azazel grimaces, brushing her hair back and just not noticing the burn marks along her hands and forearms. She grimaces and stands, trying to wipe the soot from her face as she moves to address Janii “A word, huh? Must be a pretty big one.” She glances sidelong at the cyborg, “Or did you wish one from me?” Janii silently studies Azazel, "First question, are you a noble of this sector?" Her words were in a neutral tone of voice. Azazel pauses for a moment before shaking her head, “No, lowborn. On a gas-mine world a ways off.” Janii frowns and nods, "I see, but what I was told, that you were investigating the murder, no assassination, of a friend of yours, is true?" Azazel rubs her cheek before taking a spot across from Janii. “Attempted assassination. I discovered recently, just before coming here actually, that someone, likely tied to her nephew, Jehemath the Fifth, tried to have her killed... And was quite near successful. A 'skiing' accident at a resort was the cover-up.” She glances at her hands, closing her eyes as it dawned on her just where they had been, “Now that I stop to think of it, it may have been obvious that this may have been the place...” Janii blinked, "Lady Braghda?" Azazel's lips curl into a slight smile, “Lady Braghda Hejaran, the Dragon Lady, indeed.” Janii cocked her head, "I am unfamiliar with the title 'Dragon Lady' but I do recall one strange accident that reportedly ended in her death, strange because we made no investigation of how it was caused. It makes sense now." She nods slowly. "I fear that my former master, as well as several other nobles, have been assassinated, by the same person or group your friend was targetted by. Today proved that lord Traiserus is involved and he is a personal friend of my former master's wife, who owns the resort. Which implicates the two of them together." Her eyes bore into Azazel's, "To that end... you asked my why I served, well now I have enough reason to suspect my... 'mistress' has in fact had a hand in the murder of my master. Since you seem eager to uncover this plot... and hunt down those responsible, I wish to join you, if you allow me." Azazel raises her brows in surprise before nodding slowly, “As much as I would appreciate your assistance, you are... quite skillful. To that end, you have after all seen through Xen and Rei'Ki's concealment... And assisted them greatly.” Her eyes narrow on Xen and Rei'Ki and they both grimace and try to make themselves look small, knowing this meant more training. “However, there are incredible risks involved challenging one such as him...” She sighs and rubs over her face, “The room we were in and the next three or so over were all destroyed. People were disintegrated by this man. I believe the only reasons Kitt is with us now is her Echani training giving her enough of an edge to avoid the strikes. Myself...” She looks at her hands, “I was saved by all of you time and time again, and I am supposed to be his equal... But, I am... afraid my performance has suffered... I... I don't know if I could knowingly enter a conflict with Traiserus again unless I know the odds are in my favor.” Janii was silent for a moment. "I do not care, all I wish, is to be part of the mission that sees those responsible for killing my master, the one who raised me from the streets and gave me purpose, slain, either through the courts of justice, but if that is not possible, simply killing them suffices as well. I was almost blown up myself when my master died, hence my enhancements and cybernetics. But if that is not enough." She reached down and opened the trunk. "I took this as my severance package, these are credit bonds, they were supposed to be brought to the bank today, but due to your arrival, that clearly did not happen, they are yours. Four million credits total." Azazel laughs slightly and lays back, “Very well... Do come with me... I will destroy him yet...” She sighs and tries to get comfortable as she watches Xen trying to see to a whimpering Hakkri's wounds. She furrows her brow and rubs over her face, “Bezol, the Red Sanctuary... I need the hypercomms.” She looks at Janii before rubbing over her cheek, “After this, I have to ask... What will you do? I... Am always looking for skilled individuals, but I cannot always say my hands are clean... And I would rather you not... Informing any government organization of the abilities of me and mine... It is something we have avoided.” Janii frowned and sighed, "I was instructed, when serving my master, Tapani nobility, to accept and keep my master's secrets. I will be fine, as long as any lawkeepers do not ask me direct question, I will not lie then. Strangely people treat bodyguards as furniture so nothing to worry." SHe glared, "But I will not be part of murder or slavery." Azazel tenses before sighing, “I try to avoid bloodshed unless one raises arms against me first... And I am opposed to slavery. Quite a deal, in fact.” She runs her hand back, looking to Rei'Ki and Xen. “We kill people... Sometimes we have little option. I tried to enter the resort without starting a disaster. I attempted to get past the guards without bloodshed. Things... Did not fair well. I would not ask you to kill anyone without being under duress. I will respect that of you.” She bows her head. Hakkri grimaces and lets out a soft cry as Xen dabs at the gunshot on his arm. “It huuuuuurts!” Xen frowns, “You need to see the medic, you may be out for a little while.” Hakkri frowns, shuddering at the thought, “I just got out, though...” Kitt sniffs, “Get over it, you baby. Azazel is all scorched up and I'm a little singed here and there too, but you don't see us bawling.” Hakkri levels his eyes on her, “Oh yeah? How about I shoot you in the arm and see how you like it!” Xen takes that moment to take away Hakkri's blasters. Azazel smiles embarrassedly at Janii, “And, I wish this was not so common... I have... an interesting family.” She watches the trio fondly as Rei'Ki flicks her commlink on and off, looking at the picture upon it with a deep frown. Janii looks around and seems to mentally shrug from the look on her face. "I never worked for a force user before, as I said, thought your kind were just legends. I will adapt."
