Invasion Aftermath Intermission[/center][/b]

She was humming a pleasant tune to herself as the elevator descended into the depths of her alchemical laboratories, as the doors opened and she stepped out, wrinkling her nose when she caught the scent of blood and various... fluids released from bodies upon death or extreme cases of stress. She coughed and cursed, becoming a sith Pureblood came with all sorts of new discoveries, some of her senses were improved, her sense of smell for certain as she grabbed a piece of cloth and pressed it over her mouth and nose as she walked ahead.

A pair of Sun Guard saw her approach and at first seemed intent to block her, they seemed to recognize her body language however and stepped aside, saluting as their mistress strode past them. More sun guard were present, but these were otherwise occupied, dragging corpses and tossing them in a surface that was present, specifically meant to incinerate large amounts of bodies. She paused and watched as she saw a pile of corpses in the uniforms of the captured ship's crew went up in flames. She chuckled, shaking her head as she resumed her journey, "Khanna has been busy..." She murmured to herself, trailing off when she came to the cell area and saw that only a few were filled still, in the middle of the chamber where she normally had one or several test subjects strapped to the medical tables was Khanna with a number of droids and sun guard around some of the prisoners.

At her approach, being notified by one of the guards who was approaching her disciple, Darth Khanna turned and bowed, "Mistress, you received my message, my apologies if I interrupted anything between you and lady Azazel."

She let out a snort and removed the piece of cloth and decided to just bear the stench now, "Nothing at the moment, we both are occupied with our own matters at the moment, though if you have learned anything useful then we shall let her know of course." Turning to Khanna she raised her eyebrow ridge, "Assuming you did learn something useful."

Khanna cleaned her hands, which Andrea noted were stained with blood, once they were clean she answered Andrea, "Most of the prisoners, simple deck ratings or maintenance staff, no information of note." She gestured to one of the tables, where a clearly dead prisoner was secured on, clearly dead because from the way a pair of Tuk'ata were gnawing and tearing at it's flesh would clearly have triggered some vocal responses. "That one was a officer and gave us some security codes and clearances to make sure that ship we obtained remained ours, again, nothing stellar. But..." She trailed off and gestured for Andrea to follow, one of the tables was set apart from the others, on it was a Falleen female, the servant uniform was shredded but it was once of high grade quality.

She was also still alive and was whimpering, her eyes shut, trembling. "Teams found her after the ship was deemed lifeless actually, the quarters of that one force adept you killed on the bridge. A personal servant so I imagined she might have some interesting information, it took me some time, Falleens are quite stubborn and have impressive willpower but her mind broke after my repeated attempts to break through her barriers with force fear and horror and she revealed some very interesting information.

Unfortunately nothing about the whereabouts of this Traiserus person, or what his total forces are but..." She snapped her fingers and a nearby droid, that seemed to have been present to record anything trivial the prisoners shouted during interrogation sessions, produced a datapad and handed it to Andrea. While she began to read Khanna simply said out loud what was said on the screen. "Traiserus has three children, Marcus is his commander, his general. A second son named Tobus, who is apparently a steward or... groundskeeper? The words of the Falleen servant not mine, not sure what she meant by that. The third, the youngest daughter is called Calypso... and all she said about that one was that she was the 'Hidden One'. If I have to guess, the firstborn is his heir and general, the second son is his steward of whatever holdings or home base he has while the third child is his token assassin and secret agent."

"Well." Andrea started and then smiled, "We have learned that Traiserus has no talent for naming things." She chuckled and stored the datapad in a pocket, "I jest, this is some good information Khanna, you have done well, I will let Azazel know about what you have uncovered, knowing that Traiserus has two more brats hiding in the shadows is good to know about, if you kill a powerful individual, always kill all extended family, or in twenty years some sniveling brat comes along, shouting you killed their father, mother or both parents and has since that time been on a righteous quest to hones his or her skills to take you down. I mean I like theatrics and drama but some things are just a bit too much, when I want enemies killed, I want to make sure they will not come back to haunt me in some way by way of their relatives."

"I suppose that makes sense mistress." Khanna said slowly and then glanced back at her remaining prisoners. "I doubt any of the others have any relevant information remaining, what is to be done with them?"

She followed her disciple's gaze, looking over the wretched faces of misery gathered in the filled cells that remained. "Send them to the surface, have the sun guard use them for target practice." Came Andrea's simple command before she turned around, "I have some lessons to attend."

Lessons learned...[/b]
__________________________

Hadzuska had done well from what Andrea observed, the twins had been practicing with training sabers aboard the facilities of the Dagger, but here on Korriban there was certainly more room and means to educate. With the invasion crisis passed training regiments were once again undertaken, a fact which the sith instructor in Andrea's service quickly took advantage of to march her twin students down here and see if they could be ready to build and wield their own blades.

"Teresa, you seem to enjoy the fierce strikes you may deliver with two blades but be wary, while rage can fuel one's strikes, it does leave you vulnerable, I wield two blades as well so do take it from me that-" Hadzuska froze and quickly brought her blades to her hands, igniting as she turned to slash at what her eyes told her was empty space, but clearly her eyes were lying as her blades struck another ignited lightsaber and she looked at the grinning face of Andrea, she shuddered, she still needed to get used to the transformation of her mistress. She did however took a step back and lowered her blades, "Apprentices, meet the lady Andrea, the one who can teach both of you all kinds of knowledge about the force and how to seek your place in life."

The twins looked at Andrea and then at each other, some silent communication passing between them, with Clare looking worried but before she could speak or prevent her sister from speaking Teresa took a bold step forwards, staring at Andrea, pointing at her. "What are you?" She asked, with not hint of respect, reverence. Simply a bold move and question.

At first both Hadzuska and Andrea blinked, the former opened her mouth, narrowing her eyes in irritation but stopped herself when she heard laughter, coming from her mistress.

Andrea calmed down, chocking back another laugh before she merely chuckled and looked at the twin holding a training saber in each hand. "I am many things, but to you it is Mistress Andrea, one of your teachers on the road of what both of you can achieve with your lives. Though if you were asking of race... until a few days ago, human. But now." She rubbed her two red palms together and then spread her hands, smiling still. "A Sith pureblood, the original sith, the origin of the powers I will instruct both of you in."

Hadzuska coughed and a still smiling Andrea turned to her curiously, the Twi'lek instructor grinned, "Teaching them the powers of the sith is all truly fine and well, but I prefer them to have some basic understanding of a actual lightsaber blade before you do that, they both show promise. In fact..." She turned to the two apprentices, "I suspect those two are actually using a twin linked forcebond to help each other, because both of them seem to be equally skilled with the training blades." At that both of them looked at each other and another seemingly silent communication passed between them, a force bond or 'normal' twin communications, it could be both or either.

"Truly? Well then." Andrea said and went to a training mat, using the force to summon a training saber from a niche in the wall to her hand and twirled it in her hand. "Let both of them show their progress by attempting to land a hit on me." She grinned and bowed, entering a combat stance as she glanced from one twin sister to the other.

As one they readied their training sabers... and looked at Hadzuska for permission, the Twi'lek bit back a laugh and gestured, "Go ahead, see if one of you gets lucky." As soon as the last word left her lips both of them leaped in for the strike. Teresa striking with both her blades openly and with a strong swing, clearly trying to keep Andrea's attention so her sister with her single blade could strike from the side.

It was well coordinated but they were still beginners and Andrea saw the feint from Teresa for what it was, jumping back to escape her blades while quickly bringing her training blade to block the true attack coming from Clare. "Nice try." She purred and then with a shout delivered a quick kicks to Clare while using the force to push Teresa, putting her off-balance as she turned a wide arc with her own blade extended.

Teresa should not have seen it coming and yet she did the one thing to escape the stinging shock from the training weapon and that was to just let herself drop and fall to the ground. Glancing back Andrea saw Clare looking at her with a intense gaze, "Smart." She said, admitting they were somewhat capable at least, but she had more tricks up her sleeve, her physical capabilities were not close to Azazel, Gra'tua or Jacoiba, her strength lay with other powers. They continued exchanging blows, feints and attacks but no hits were claimed, thinking it had gone long enough Andrea decided to change tactics.

She dropped her training saber, noticing the surprise on the faces of the twins, they did not seem to know what to make of that, that changed when they saw her make grabbing motions with her hands and both of them were suddenly lifted in the air, held up by the force. She smiled, "Both of you show promise, I will allow Hadzuska to instruct both of you on how to build your own sabers and how to wield them, then later, she and I both will being instructing you in ways of the force, and the true power it will bring you both." 

She let go of her power and the twins fell down with a yelp, Teresa looking irritated while Clare bowed reverently. "Thank you for the practice, my lady, we both learned from it." Teresa huffed but nodded after her sisters words.

Andrea showed a feral smile at that, "And that is just the beginning on the greater road to understanding little ones." She nodded to Hadzuska who bowed and took her leave. THe day had been long and she had information to share with Azazel...
