I stop where I am and lower my hands. "No. The Manda'lor I served was above this and used her head, not her anger. Snap out of it, Manda'lor." I remain where I am. "You are better than this."

"This is no longer leadership. This is the paranoid power abuse of a child who's scared. The Revolution got what they wanted, Jorg Sucal outed and exposed. They were reluctant to even follow the Gressh twins in the first place." I approach Ava slowly, my hands up to show I wasn't going to reach for my weapons. "You need to rest, Manda'lor. You need to step back and take time to recover. The Saxon's attack was suspicious and is being investigated. Let your chiefs and their clans do their job."

I don't respond to either of them as I stand and approach the Saxon on the other side of the table. "Last chance."

Talion Wren

"It's possible. She's never much liked her father, but I would never have thought she was capable of this..."

Temari Ordo

I walk in shortly after HJ and point at the two commandos. "Out now." The Commandos don't argue with me and they close the door behind them, leaving just the four of us. "Is this what you want your legacy to become, Manda'lor? From Risen to Enslaver?"

"You're right about that. Her youth makes her prone to poor prioritization, despite her skill in battle. I will meet you at the Chancellor's office." Cutting the signal, I retrieve my helmet and head for the lift. Manda'lor had to let this idea that she could control everything go before it got her killed. Stepping onto it, I begin wiping my brow of the oil from our war machines. Didn't do me any good to have grease running into my eyes.

"You seem to misunderstand. I won't simply shatter your mind, I will tear the information I want from it while simultaneously turning your mind into mush. You will spend every single last day of the remainder of your life laying in a bed in an unending coma, in a dreamless sleep that won't even allow you to pretend you died a glorious death in combat like your brothers and sisters. There will be no remorse for it on my part, and there will be no one in this room who mourns you. So, will you tell us willingly or am I going to be leaving you a vegetable?"

Temari Ordo

There is no immediate response, however after a minute there is a loud bang followed by the sound of a string of Mandalorian curses. A moment later, Temari's image appears. "Ah, HJ Twilight. I have had a few discussions with Manda'lor, but she will not step away readily. Nor will she step down, if that is your next suggestion. I can try and convince her to rest, or we both could talk to her about it, but she would have to loose in single combat to be forced down."

Aboard the Assimilator

As the three Kull Troopers vanished due to the Daedalus's beaming technology, Meteor and Rawwk pushed more aggressively on the shielded troopers, the former tossing a flashbang between them and the latter a droid popper. One caused the pair to go blind and deaf briefly and the other shorted out their shields, allowing the focused fire of the two Guardsmen to bring them down, Ahri'ahab's bowcaster bolts sending their crumbled forms crashing into the walls behind them as Yrel put accurate shots into their helmet visors, making sure they were down for the count. On the bridge proper, while resistance had been more than they'd anticipated, within moments the only meaningful resistance remaining was a handful of heavily armored Clone Marines taking cover behind a bulwark. Wrench was already hacking into the ship's controls and had turned the majority of the ship's defenses on the crew down below and had just moved to lock down the lifts when sounds of them coming up reached Rawwk and Ahri'ahab, who'd swapped to his warblade to deal with any survivors.

The pair dove for cover as they reached the top and the sniper took aim as Meteor prepped his grenade launcher and Yrel aimed her dual pistols. After a moment, the doors opened and three soldiers walked out, long swords on their left hip and a blaster pistol of strange design on their right. "This ship belongs to our lord Anubis. You get one chance to leave of your own volition." Meteor answered in his signature fashion, a HE grenade to the speaker's face, except there was never an explosion. He seemed to twitch and the munition fell to the floor sliced in two. "Very well. You will all make fine sacrifices." Moving faster than someone without the Force should have been able to, they rush the group as the other lift opens and five more file out, rushing those on the bridge. Erin growled as she tried to get a clear shot with her rifle as they moved to engage everyone at close range.

Eighty clashed with one, only to get flung across the bridge into the group of marines who'd been taking cover, who all scattered from the force of the landing. Scorch Guard and Guardian blasted them, taking them out of the fight before they added to the problem. Groaning as he picked himself up, the familiar sense of a cyborg limb sending flying having knocked the wind out of him, he prepped to get back into the fight. "They're advanced cyborgs of some kind! Not all that tech is ours though, so stay sharp!" Yrel had already traded her blasters for her lightsaber, the lavender blade clashing with the vibrosword of the cyborg soldier.

When I speak, there's no uncertainty in my voice. "You're lying. Your speech is hesitant and your words are false. Continuing to lie will do you no good, because if you don't give me the information we want, then I will tear it from your mind and you will become a vegetable. Quite the dishonor, is it no Kamari?"

Talion Je'and

I shudder at Zar'kun's threat, trying to imagine doing nothing more than breathing for the rest of my natural life and being unable to. I knew Kamari had nearly been reduced to that and that had to be terrifying.

I walk with Talion and Kamari as they lead the Saxon to one of the lower levels for his interrogation, but I pick up anyways. "Xanthippe is on her way to you and Korrè. I feel our previous conversation may have her be less willing to talk to me, but perhaps you three can get more details. That's going to be the most important. I'll contact you with what I get from this Saxon when we're done interrogating him."

Star Wars(AU) - After Knightfall

So one Sep brought this interesting looking SW AU to my attention and I thought I'd make ya aware of my interest. Gonna take my time off this week to work on a sheet.

"You just insulted the Clan Chiefs, Xanthippe. Pardon them if it's an unappreciated gesture. And you seem to forget that one of those chief's is her own father and loyal to Mandalorian beliefs possibly more so than any other Mandalorians I've ever met." I sigh before I hear the approach of one of the transports and remember that one had been bringing Kamari, Talion Wren and a Saxon prisoner to the hotel and I deactivate my lightsabers before beckoning to a nearby pair of Mandalorians. "There are still more pieces to this puzzle that need solved. Until they are, you'll be kept in containment." The first Mandalorian to reach her put stuncuffs on her wrists, preventing use of any Force powers and much movement. "A younger me, Xan, wouldn't have hesitated and wouldn't have cared what you had to say. He would have separated your head from your body and been done with this. But age brings perspective, and with perspective brings deeper thought. I was once a Jedi Sentinel, I sought out the Dark Side to destroy it. While this may not be a Dark Side manipulation, those skills can still be of use. If you will, take her to sit with Korrè. I'll be along after the interrogation of the Saxon to speak with her."
