As the battle against the pyramid ships continues to intensify, Admiral Kardoff glares at the USS Creed as he proceeds to get in contact with it. Concentration towards the white shuttle had nearly ceased to exist, even as it disappears into the warp behind another ship. But it didn't matter about the fate of that ship, it all mattered on their target onboard that cruiser. As soon as they locked onto it's frequency, he cleared his throat and kept his composure.
"This is Admiral Kardoff onboard the Endeavor, calling to the USS Creed. I will only say this once and once only. You are holding hostage a dangerous subject with powers beyond your control! In the name of the Galactic Republic, hell for the galaxy at large, administer him to us and we'll deal with it from there." |

There was a slight delay in between messages when the Admiral's head began to throb violently. He groans in utter discomfort as he clutches his head, with several clone personnel nearby trying to keep him in check. Then he heard a voice, but not the voice of the jedi commander or the sith onboard, rather someone else. A feminine voice. It said that
'they' served something called
'the Unity' and told the admiral to cease ordering her crew around. When the voice ceased, the Admiral coughed twice before returning to the present. General Vell looked on with worry.
"What happened?"The Admiral rubbed his neck, while lifting his neck collar to have air run through his already sticky body.
"R-Received a telepathic message..." he replied softly,
"Thought it was you at first, or that sith lord, but... I have a hunch it came from one of the unknown ships... more precisely one of those who tried to fire upon the shuttle."The jedi reflected on this note for a hot second before the comms picked up a response from the USS Creed, granting them access to pick him up from their ship, while also warning for lots of security. Admiral Kardoff sighed in what was supposed to be in relief, but turned out to be one of worry. His heart was already pumping profusely, knowing that they have only on the jedi to rely on taking him alive. With that, he nods towards Vell, who was still looking out to the battle still taking place.
"Right then." the Admiral said,
"Shall I prepare you a shuttle escort to board that ship?"The jedi was silent. He's still sensing the radiant anger pulsating from their hostage. Now they have to board their ship and make sure to secure him in place... but the raw power of the dark side was so thick, that Vell began to wonder if this was a really good idea. As he considers responding however, he suddenly feels the dark presence disappear for a moment. His face became crunched with confusion as he still looks dazingly above the Admiral. Then suddenly the dark side presence returns, however it felt much MUCH stronger then before. He uses the force to quickly identify where the sith is. And once he did, his heart sinks as he made a terrifying conclusion.
"H... He's onboard." he said in a mere whisper.
In an instant, Vell rushes towards the elevators, gripping the cylindrical handle of his weapon as he pushes aside Admiral Kardoff flabbergasting at his behavior.
"I-I beg your pardon?" he asked fretfully.
The jedi turns to him as he gave a face of absolute panic.
"THE SITH LORD IS ONBOARD THIS SHIP!" he roars violently,
"ALERT EVERYONE INSIDE THIS DAMN SHIP AND CONTAIN HIM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!"The elevators closed shut, leaving the Admiral alone on the command bridge. Frantically he immediately heads to the comms and initiates "Code Red" on the entire ship. With the alert sounded, all Clone Troopers aboard began preparing their weapons and armor as they patrolled the halls of the Endeavor with upmost haste. It's now a dangerous scavenger hunt for a dangerous sith lord, where the first person to find him will most certainly die... amongst tens, or even hundreds more, afterwards.
The Endeavor continues to fire amongst the pyramid ships, now proceeding to use photon torpedos and on-board ion cannons in an attempt to disable the ships. The fighters meanwhile continue to eliminate the other death gliders, but not without suffering more casualties themselves.
