While he couldn't keep the troopers off him as his entire body ached, he had sensed the panic as his Padawan approached, then as she pushed her way past the troopers and then started to heal him. She pushed him off him before letting out a grunt, barely comprehensible as Shyrii'wook. [Stop the fires in the datacore...] He clutched his side as he took a breathe. [An investigator is on his way, use my commlink and tell him to hurry up...] He took another pained breathe. [I fear we may not have much time before the building is destroyed...] This time there was a longer pause, as he drew breathe more slowly, taking the time to concentrate on the force and his body, numbing the pain at least temporarily until it could be healed.

If it could all be healed.

[We must not let the Sith get away with this. Go, quickly young padawan. Or all that have been lost today will have been lost in vain.]

[b]Crusade[/b]

Crusade stood before a hologram off one of the other Sith within his Empire. While there were many fallen Jedi from the time of Revan and Malak he regarded very few of them as actual Sith. There were a couple of those he would consider Sith on the planet, though Sith had to truly prove themselves to the dark side and not just use it. To be a Sith you had to [i]control[/i] it. In a way such as him, and his hunt for knowledge. Some of it fabled, though he was very close to uncovering the Truth off its existence. For now he had to destroy the Jedi, though to destroy one fully first you had to destroy their reputation. Make them outcasts, and then. Then he would kill them. "Are the preparations complete?""Almost My Lord. The fleet is assembled and prepared, the secret weapons are fully operational and we have sent scouts along the hyperspace route you provided us with.""And?""As you predicted my Lord. They set off no alarms and met no opposition until they arrived and with the credentials forged for them they managed to get away without incident. The long range scanning unit indicates they have been attempting to trace the hyperspace lane or set up a security network however at this time it is inefficient and won't be able to detect our approach."

"Very well. Have the fleet head to the rendezvous, the Hásk shall arrive shortly with her escorts." The man in the hologram bowed as it cut off. He turned around heading back onto the bridge. "Captain Roland.""My lord?""Have the dropships return with due haste. If anyone is not capable of returning to a dropship then they will be left behind. Have their escorts target any escape pods in decaying orbit as they return as well, we don't have time to take prisoners and the fewer witnesses the less reliable reports there are, and bring us into firing range of the megalaser.""Yes sir."
