I stand a moment and just look at what had happened along with the holes in the hotel. "I...uh...alright, well, I don't know what just happened, but let's go see who's in the shuttle."

Blocking strikes from two separate droids, I push them back and counter attack, but find about as much success as Becca did, though the fact that we could cut into meant this was a derivative plating, like many of the others. Pulling back, I block and counter attack a third droid before grabbing the first two with the Force and slamming them together, the weakened chest plates shattering on impact and leaving their inner workings exposed. "Becca, blunt force!" Pulling them towards me, I spin and slash through their chests, destroying the droids.

I grimace as she says she had them go begin wiping the data. "This is the last group here, the Republic's in tactical retreat outside. We just need to finish off this last major offensive and hopefully their ranks will fully break." The droids began to pick themselves up and turn towards us and I bring my sabers to bear. "On the upside, their handlers are dead, made sure of that."

Coming around a corner, I back pedal just in time to avoid a violent vibroblade slash from one of the droids in the hall, which chases me around the corner and attacks again. Blocking the slash with my silver blade, I pull a plasma grenade from my belt with the Force and jam it into the neck socket after priming it as I'd lifted it. Jetting backwards, the high-heat explosive almost instantly turns the droid into slag as I jet around the corner and spot three more droids between Becca and I along with the ones she was engaging. "Never simple." Deactivating both lightsabers, I focus a powerful Force Push between the palms of my hand before unleashing it, knocking the three droids into their fellows to buy Becca some breathing room as I run over to her.

"So, I'm about done with these Sith Hunter droids."

Running into the hall, I head for the stairwell, passing the makeshift medical bay with both sabers in hand. I was on level six and had three levels to get down. Meeting with Becca in the stairwell would allow us strength of three sabers, but if I went down the elevator shaft..."Bingo." Reaching the doors, I level my wrist and fire a rocket, blasting them open with a dull thud to those below. The elevator chassis itself was down a level, but that offered an excellent distraction. Or lure.

"Becca, I'm coming to you right." I level the orange bladed saber with the wire holding the contraption itself. "And, uh, be ready to push into the droids." A flick of my wrist sends the thing careening down towards the bottom of the shaft and after a count of three, I jet after it. Meanwhile, the droid handlers, as the position had been called in the official records, heard the sounds coming from the shaft and frowned.

"Wanna check that, Harold?" The one nearest the shaft sighs and nods, going over and prying it open. The effort takes a moment, but once it's done, he leans over to look up towards the noise, just in time for the falling hunk of metal to remove his upper body. The other handler, Transon, jumps back. "HOLY SHI-" The word is cut off as a blaster bolt lances from my pistol. Landing and looking around, I frown. Why hadn't they been with their droids?

"Sonova-" Sprinting, I head for the stairwell I could hear pounding echoing down the hall from. "Almost there Becca."

Another bolt pings off my shoulder plate as I close with the pair of troopers and cut them down, my sabers singing as they cut through the armor and the men underneath it. Another Mandalorian, Geralt Fett, fought with me, his twin Beskad matching my twin sabers in pace. "You're needed at the command center." I grunt, deflecting another shot back at it's owner.

"And I'm needed here to help hold of-" The man cuts me off as he dodges another shot from a nother trooper, cooking him in his armor with his flamethrower.

"This battle is won, the Republic is just taking it's time. Go and aid in the defense inside. If you don't, I'll cook you next." I start to argue and then realize he's right. The gunships were flying in support now, trying to take out positions that we had secured without giving the anti-air a solid target for too long. Overall, I really was just wasting time and if we broke the attack by those droids...

"Fine, but if any of you die, I'll kill you." Jetting back towards the hotel, I opt to bash in through one of the windows instead of going through the doors, knowing that opening them would unintentionally present the gunships an opening to really do damage, plus it would get me closer to where I needed to be. Setting down, I shake my head to get the glass off me. "Becca, I'm coming to you, what floor are you on?"

I duck behind cover again as the two droids unleash another volley of fire with support from the Republic troops behind it. "It's hard to say. The Republic's trying to hold until their droids in the hotel take the command center, but they're running out of troops to spare on this attack. I can't get away though."

Jerius "Mando" Wren-Tomb of Freedan Nadd, Dxun

The clone's response wasn't immediate as he remained where the Sith had thrown him, his breathing labored. After a moment, however, he managed to both respond and struggle to his feet. "No, Eri'Moram, he was not. Dar'jetii is the Mandalorian term for the Jedi's most prominant enemy, the Sith." He began limping towards the Tarantetek, his beskad in hand. "They are powerful wielders of the Dark Side of the Force, as well as skilled duelists." Passing one of the Unggoy, he rests his other hand on the alien's shoulder. "Your team is wasting their time searching for him, he used a cloaking technique common to both Sith Assassins and Jedi Shadows."

Setting down to the task of removing the beast's head. After a couple of moments, he gasped sharply and set down the blade, leaning against a nearby wall. "Haar'chak, but that toss did more damage than I thought it did..." He looks to Eri and gestures to the dead abomination. "I've done half the job, mind finishing?"

Jason Erthos-Organa Spaceport, Alderaan

There was no immediate response to the group's claims, the guards barely moved and the Star Barrier warriors only movement was to brace themselves more securely. The tension hung in the air for several minutes as the Scorch Guard and the nearby Clone Marines slowly drew their weapons in case a firefight broke out and the group needed to be evacuated quickly. Fortunately, Bail didn't give that a chance to happen. "So then Master Yoda's intuition was correct." Jason narrows his eyes.

"Master Yoda? Just Master Yoda?" The leader of house Organa nods before signalling the guards to stand down, though they only relaxed, no one's weapons moved too far from a ready to fight position.

"He was unsure of the exact source of impending aid, but he sensed that we would soon have new allies of our own against Palpatine and his new ally." Despite his experience working with Jedi during the Clone Wars, he was still...skeptical of what he was hearing. "Though we had naturally assumed that this aid would come from Wild Space, or maybe even the Unknown Regions." Jason's frown only deepens as Bail continues speaking.

"Reasonable ideas, all things considered, but...what about Obi-Wan? Was Master Kenobi not with him?" The Senator's solemn face says it all, but he speaks anyways.

"Master Kenobi fell fighting against the traitor Sheev Palpatine while Master Yoda went to speak reason to Anakin. His loss is...strongly felt."

Jerus Je'and-Prancing Nexu, Nar Shaddaa

"No, no, not the person we just did a job for, the person who the job was targeted at. The Exchange boss is already calling for someone to hit against Godda's own lieutenants, but there aren't many bounty hunters with sense crazy enough to go after the Cartel in their own turf, and we're not about to take a job against the guy who's about to give us our payouts. We'll keep an eye on this feud though, the main Exchange bosses are going to make sure Mardna learns a lesson about overstepping her authority if she doesn't slow down. That'll be a good payout." He turns as a Weequay walks in a makes his way to the table, looking around before taking a seat with the trio.

"Word travels fast and the word is that you three took out Mardna's lieutenants without any issue and so close together, she thinks it was one of the Assassin's guilds. So, in appreciation, Godda doubled the pay and offers the services of this droid for your future endeavors." A clearly refurbished, updated and customized BX series Commando droid walked out.

"Greetings, I am D-05E, refurbished BX Commando Droid. You are Jerus Je'and, correct?" The man nods. "You have been registered as my new master, though I was informed to tell you to enter these other two as masters as well when we're able. My primary functions as an espionage and assassination unit, however, I was given access to a numerous number of Protocol Droid languages without their prohibited translation routines."

"So in other words, we find it, you know it, you'll translate it for us." The droid nods. "Well, that's helpful." I think.

XO Kol'Zife-Engaging Imperial Ships in Unknown Sector of Space

The Resurgence, as Falul did what he knew how to do, did what it did best and had it's fighters fly interception as the bombers made runs on the Venators. Being of an outdated model and with outdated parts compared to the newer versions of ships hitting it, they could do little against them. Kol'Zife opened a channel to the rest of the fleet. "We've got boarding pods and L/AATs full of troops ready to board and capture, but before we try it, we need to cripple an Assimilator if we can."

Mayhem Squad-Walkways of Coruscant, Heart of the Republic

Mayhem wasted no time, Meteor launching another grenade to scatter a group of upcoming reinforcements before leaping aboard with the rest of the squad. Once they were all on board, and the shuttle had made for the Glasgow's bay, Erin counted down on her fingers from five before nodding to the team's resident Zabrak explosive maniac. Pulling out a detonator, he spins it twice before slamming down on the trigger.

At first, nothing happens, leaving the N7 soldiers to wonder what that was about, but then the L/AATs chasing them begin falling out of the sky and the Mayhem Squad captain grins. "Keyed EMP weapons, similar to droid poppers and Ion grenades. Fortunately, the tech era being behind us, making sure anything our groups had went unaffected was easy. Plus, there's now 72 hours for the siphon programs that we left behind to continue working before it's noticed they're there."

As soon as Hayden is clear of the landing pad, I put significant space between myself and it, watching as the cat that had been hanging by it's tail finally pulled itself up. Unable to get me or Hayden, the droid lets out a howl that is echoed all across the Senate building and my blood runs cold. I speed towards the front of the Senate building, even as the droids stalked back inside. This might not be the safe location we thought it was.

Hayden would find her strikes were mostly ineffective against its armor plating, but that wouldn't matter as it was soon yanked out of the ramp as I did a flying tackle into it. I carried it off the edge of the platform, far enough away it couldn't use it's tail to save itself, and then stop, letting it fall into the depths of the city-planet. "You're clear, get out of here, quickly!" I zip around to blast the one still hanging off the edge with my concussive blaster again, trying to keep it off balance. I hadn't seen any others try and come through the doorway we'd come out here through, but I wasn't about to try and get through there when Hayden left.
