Vasari didn't even turn when Luxeria spoke - her eyes were focused on the control tower as if she was considering her options. Few things were actually run by people these days, a computer system ran most of the day to day functions, and unfortunately any breach in the systems protocols would no doubt alert Viox' AI - Rampant. Seeing as to how she did not want to piss off the system she decided not to do things that way. She wasn't competent enough in her own skills as a hacker to do what needed to be done without alerting the A.I. Yet every system had a manual back up - in this case the docking override in the control tower. The override controlled the mag locks for every ship in the hanger and could be released en masse or per ship. The alternative of course was an override from each ship which in turn could be over ridden by the security protocols and would alert Rampant. Vasari exhaled slowly and patted the side of the Lambda-Class shuttle beside her and pointed up towards the control booth.
"I'm going to go see about the docking clamps... If you could prep her for launch and be ready to go by the time I get us clearance we should be set."
Vasari smirked and laid a gentle hand on Luxeria's shoulder, a look on her face somewhere between nervousness and relief before she moved off at a slight jog towards the ramp leading up to the tower stairway. The door to the control booth opened and she entered without a sound - though not necessarily attempting to mask her presence. There was an officer on duty that seemed to have just awoken and was still groggy but his eyes were sharp as he turned them to her. He must not have recognized her right away - which wasn't exactly a surprise, she didn't do much to put herself out there. She smiled and at once extended her will upon the officer. The crushing weight of her conscious mind slipping easily over the second current of the force and crushed against the officers meager mental defenses. Even had the man been trained in the arts of Force Manipulation her influence would have been difficult to resist.
"Sleep"
She commanded simply - and the man's eyes closed and his breathing evened out as he slipped deeper into a restful sleep.
"Dream..."
She whispered this time resting a hand on the forehead of the officer slowly implanting dreams into the mans unconscious mind. He would enjoy his sleep, the brief glimpse he had seen of her would fuel his dreams and his nightmares for days to come and the art of it was, he wouldn't know way. For each of his dreams would always begin this way - with her walking into his control room. She smiled and turned her attention towards the control panel looking over it for a short moment before thumbing the release switch on the shuttle she had chosen and then moved towards the computer. She looked at it for a moment... erasing the existence of it would draw too much attention, and so she checked the flight manifest and saw it was already schedules for departure in a few days. With a quick few key strokes she changed the depart date for tonight but didn't give reason. It would appear as if the ship simply left early and the man responsible simply got lazy in recording it. She half considered clearing the security feeds as well, but didn't know enough about the system to mask her presence. She lifted her shoulders slightly - by the time they discovered the error in a few days they would already be on Dothamir, and it wouldn't matter. She cast one more look at the sleeping officer - a smile had worked onto his face as she shifted in his seat, then she left the control booth, moving down into the hanger to join Luxeria aboard their newly acquired shuttle.

Luxeria gave a nod as she gave the basis of a plan for them to follow with. As Vasari made her way over to the control booth, Luxeria boarded. With it not being set to depart for a few days, it was empty, devoid of crew and cargo. That was good. While it wouldn't be long before they were found out, they wouldn't have to worry about missing cargo or crew. A minor set back that would just involve the use of another shuttle or ship. Of all things, she was certain they could manage that.
Setting her bag off to the side at the door of the cockpit, she entered and took a seat at the controls. Quickly her fingers moved across the console, pushing buttons and flipping switches as she worked to power the ship up. It was only a few moments before the startup sequence began. Looking out the cockpit, she could already see Vasari finishing her work and heading back. She heard the clamps disengage just before hearing the engine come to life. A few more buttons were pressed as the systems were green and ready for launch. All that was left was waiting for Vasari to board.
Once she saw that the boarding ramp was closed, she lifted the shuttle off the ground and began to turn it and push it out of the hangar. She could have waited for Vasari to enter the cockpit but figured it was better not to waste any time. Exiting the hangar, she pulled up as the flanking wings lowered. Taking a moment to circle the Obelisk, she waited for Vasari to enter before she'd take it into orbit.

Vasari boarded and felt the ship lift off only moments later, She smiled looking out at the relatively empty hanger and then once more to the control booth half able to see the slumbering officer. She blew him a kiss and dropped her pack next to Luxeria's before making her way into the cockpit. It wouldn't take them long to reach orbit and to her knowledge they wouldn't be stopped but regardless as soon as she reached the cockpit she found herself speaking.
"Prime the hyperdrive, i'll input the coordinates and plot the course, as soon as we hit upper orbit, jump... It might be against protocols but it will get us out of the system before the station will have a chance to scan us or verify cargo."
She sat down in the chair next to Luxeria and began punching coordinates into the navi-computer. Imperial systems were hardly new to her and so it didn't take long to familiarize herself with the slight variations in the controls and plot the course they would be taking - jumping a few systems outside of their course just in case they were tracked. Once the coordinates were input the computer peeped letting them know the system was ready to jump and in bold green letters MANDALORE appeared on the screen.
"Ready when you are my dear."

Having finished their work out in the Crystal Flats, Gavin’s YT-1930 made its way into the hangar bay. Powering down the systems, he motioned for Krokaa to follow. He knew the best place for him to finish the lightsaber and tune the crystal properly to the Dark-Side. Departing the ship, he lead the Zabrak to the Meditation chamber

As the Scimitar-II settled down in the hangar bay, the Zabrak Sith Lord disembarked the vessel and made his way into the Obelisk proper, heading to where he could feel the Sith'ari's presence, which surprisingly wasn't emanating from the Throne room like it usually was...

Exterior Landing Pad.Lord Wraak stood on the platform with Geralt Klassen and the rest of his Sith Knights, ready to load up onto an Archon-Class Escort Gunship, that served as the Knights' personal vessel. Even though it was hot, dry and ashy, the Sith Lord stood tall and addressed the Knights. "Our Sith'ari has appointed us with the task of sacking Fortress Inquisitorious on the watery moon of Nur. It was formerly the abode of Vallius Savage, the Sith'ari's own son. However, he chose to usurp his father's rule over a handful of worlds and assert himself as their ruler. He is a false idol and a traitor to the Emperor. He has contributed to the fracturing of our beloved Imperium. We have been tasked with showing the rest of the Imperium, and the galaxy, what happens when you betray the Sith'ari! When you betray the very foundations upon which our Empire was built! None will stand in our way!"Raising a fist to the sky, the last works echoed around them. The Knights themselves, brought their left fist up to their chest and bowed their heads in acknowledgement. It was time to purge Vallius' hideout. And it was time to show the rest of the Imperium that betrayal and desertion was not tolerated.

Exterior Landing Pad
Valafar's shuttle landed on one of the landing pads and he exited with a few Knights of the Blood oath behind him, they remained at the shuttle while he walked onward, cape flowing behind him with his clan's sigil on it. It seemed quiet out on the landing pad with the exception of another shuttle coming in and one leaving, the dock workers could hear the sound of Valafar's cybernetic feet as he stepped heavily towards the entrance of the Obelisk, they also could hear the sound of his breathing through his respirator that some may have compared to that of the Great Darth Vader as both sounded very similar. As Valafar approached the entrance he turned and looked at the ship coming in and thought that it must be the other one that Darth Znalost had summoned here. Valafar turned and faced a guard and asked a question.
:: Where is Darth Znalost? I am to meet him and get my new assignment. ::
The Jen'ari is in his chambers, m'lord.
Jen'ari? Valafar thought, so the rumors about Malvus were true. Valafar looked once more back the ship that had just landed and then and walked into the Obelisk.

Landing Pad, Exterior.
As the Falling Star landed, Uhtred walked down the ramp donning his full Sith Knight attire, he could sense the fear that his appearance had on the dock workers as well as the fear that they felt from the Sith that Landed moments before he did. Uhtred could sense the bloodlust of a very powerful sith, which he guess must be Darth Verenhimo. He looked up at the vessel that was leaving, Uhtred could feel a similar presence to that of Darth Verenhimo, but it was different in the sense of the amount of bloodlust and hatred was far less than that of Verenhimo and Uhtred could conclude that it must be Darth Wraak or perhaps even Veldora. Uhtred continued on his way to the entrance of the Obelisk and bowed his head at the guards, he had no reason to ask where he was to meet his uncle as he could sense his presences the moment he reach the entryway. He was eager to hear what mission his uncle had for and even more eager to get the mission underway, he wasted no time and continued to make his way to the Chamber's of the Jen'ari.

Exterior, Landing pad.
Valafar arrived back to the exterior landing pad having finished meeting with the new Jen'ari and receiving his new mission. Utapau was to be taken for the Blackguard Imperium. While he did hope that there would be a battle in it's orbit, he doubt that there would be much in terms of resistance for them to crush. However he wasn't completely ruling it out, that would be a mistake. For all of his Failures over his life, he has learned from all of them and they have made him stronger. Valafar approached his shuttle with the young sith knight behind him, it wouldn't be long before they reached Utapau. Once both were onboard his shuttle Valafar gave the signal for it to leave the Obelisk and head back to the Eternal Night.

Uhtred was following behind the towering Zabrak since leaving his Uncle's Chambers. He could tell that the Dark Lord was eager to engage the enemy as was he. This was going to be the first time that he lead troops into battle, sure he had been in combat before with other Imperial Knight trainees and then with failed sith acolytes that his uncle had acquired. He knew that he was skilled at several different lightsaber combat styles and various force techniques but leading troops into battle was a different kind of skill altogether. Uhtred knew that his Uncle was preparing him for something, but he couldn't see the big picture not yet at least. Once Uhtred was aboard Darth Verenhimo's shuttle it took off and headed towards Darth Verenhimo's Flagship.

Exterior Landing Pad.
The armored Sith had departed High Command and made his way back to the exterior landing platforms where a shuttle was parked, ready to take him back up to his Victory II-Class Star Destroyer, Necrosis, that was currently orbiting the planet. From there, he would jump to Anzat and join up with the raiding fleet that had been built specifically for the task he had been given. Boarding the shuttle, the Sith seated himself and waited to arrive at his ship. The shuttle, in turn, lifted off the pad and streaked skyward, heading for orbit.

Dark Obelisk - Hangar Bay Four.The Imperial Assault Shuttle that carried Knight-Commander Klassen and his team of Sith Knights, as well as Darth Wraak of Clan Starkiller, landed in a hangar bay at the Obelisk. Behind them, two more shuttles landed and a detachment of Sentinel War Droids led by a Sith Trooper greeted them. Prisoner transfer from the Starkiller. Ignoring the prisoners and their escorts, Venom waved for Geralt to follow him to the Throne Room...

Dark Obelisk of the Blackguard - Exterior Landing Platform 41The Imperial Shuttle, carrying General Xethuys, former Overseer Aden Vykus, four crimson armored Sith Commandos and eight Sentinel War Droids, touched down on platform forty-one. As the ramp lowered, allowing the searing air of Mustafar to rush up and greet them, the droids disembarked first, forming up as sentries at either side of the base of the ramp. Following them was the four Commandos, with Aden Vykus in the middle. Bound by chains, he marched with the Commandos, head hung low with dread. The armored figure of Xethuys followed them.Escort our prisoner to the throne room. Our Empress awaits his arrival.Barked the General as he strode down the ramp. The commandos and their prisoner never broke stride and they moved, heading into the Obelisk. Xethuys, however, turned to look over the fiery hellscape that was Mustafar's surface. With the reshaping of the Imperium's borders, and several worlds being abandoned by the Imperium, Xethuys would be calling Mustafar home for the foreseeable future. Originally stationed on Ord Radama, that world had been abandoned by the Imperium months before Operation: FRACTURE had been initiated. Spending most of his time on either his flagship or on Eriadu, Xethuys made the decision to relocate to the Obelisk, as it was the capital of the Imperium and managing the Imperium's ground forces would require his full attention. Taking in the landscape a few moments longer, Xethuys spun on his heel and strode off after the commandos and his prisoner. He was certain that the Empress would be thrilled with his latest capture.

Dark Obelisk of the Blackguard - Hangar Bay 04The Sith'ari's Sith Infiltrator touched down inside one of the Obelisk's many hangar bays. This bay, in particular, was where the Sith'ari's personal vessels were stored. His Sith Fighter, the stolen TIE/vn from his days as the High Admiral of the First Order and his Sith Infiltrator were stored here. Important visitors were also directed to this hangar bay, as it was the closest one to the Throne Room, which meant meetings and audiences could get underway quickly without delays. Useful, given that the Sith'ari's mood varied depending on who was coming to see him. As the Zabrak disembarked his ship, via the rear ramp, he noticed a shuttle was docked in the bay and Darth Akrak was exiting the shuttle. Even from here, the armored Sith looked like he was in rough shape. Not surprising, since he had been sent on a raid months ago and hadn't been heard from since. Akrak wasn't one to disobey orders, nor was he one to just run off and not report back in. Something had happened to him. And now was as good a time as any to find out. Waving the maintenance workers away, they got to work checking over his ship, while he made his way over to the armored Sith.

Having been directed to Hangar Bay 04, Akrak's shuttle had touched down in its designated spot. It was odd to be assigned this hangar, as it was usually reserved specifically for the Sith'ari, though during times of high traffic or important meeting with the Sith'ari, this bay was used. Akrak himself, had never had the privilege to land here, so it was an interesting change of pace. As he disembarked the shuttle, the Sith'ari's personal Sith Infiltrator arrived. Moments later, the Black Emperor himself was disembarking. An interesting twist of fate, considering the reason for his visit here. Obviously the Zabrak noticed him as well, because he was making his way over to him. In the months since he had last spoken to the Zabrak, he noticed something different about it. He looked...healthy. Physically fit and in incredible shape. His presence within the Force seemed more...stable too. Clearly lots had transpired. The last time he had seen the Zabrak, he appeared much more frail and sickly. And his presence within the Force waxed and waned, as if he was in constant struggle with himself. Inclining his head as the Zabrak approached, he spoke first.
"Sith'ari. I regret to inform you that the raid on Lianna was unsuccessful..."
That was the worst of it. Might as well have gotten that out of the way first. He expected the Zabrak to lose his temper any second...

The armored Sith wasted no time in cutting straight to the point. Clenching his jaw in frustration and annoyance at a plan of his falling to the wayside, given the length of time that had elapsed since he had given Akrak the task up until now, he had suspected something has come up. Failure was not tolerated among the Sith, though Akrak had served him loyally, despite his personal discrepancies with the Zabrak's policies at the time. Thus, he would allow the hulking Sith an opportunity to explain himself. If the reports that had already reached FLEETCOM matched what Akrak was about to say, he would not be punished for the failure of his assignment. At least not as significantly as it would have been had the failure been a direct cause of Akrak's ineptitude. Holding up a hand to silence the Sith, Viox motioned for the armored being to follow him.
"Indeed. This comes as no surprise...failure such as this is punishable by death, Akrak. Such is the way of the Sith. You know this...and yet...yet you return to report your failure. I owe you nothing and yet I feel compelled to let you explain the reasons behind a failure of this magnitude. Explain to me what happened. Spare no details."
The armored Sith had returned to Mustafar to report his failure. To man up and face the consequences of his actions, regardless of what those may be. Were Viox the man he was when Malvus was still his Jen'ari, he would have overlooked the matter entirely, sparing the Sith's life. Now, however, having recommitted to his true roots as a Sith and adhering more closely to the Sith Code, he was of half a mind to simply strike the armored Sith down right here and now. And yet, something stayed his hand. If Znalost were to successfully lead the Imperium once he and Natalia vacated the throne, he would need loyal and capable members assisting him. Killing off the few capable and loyal members they had left wouldn't solve anything. Aside from Akrak and the Sith Knights, there were very few actual Sith that could be counted on to support the Imperium. The Starkillers were a wild card. They'd either support the Imperium or look to their own self interests first. Znalost had amassed a fair following during his time with the Imperium. Provided they stayed loyal to him, he'd have a significant amount of help in keeping the Imperium together. And then there was Xethuys, the general of the Blackguard's Armed Forces. He would support whomever was placed in charge, as would the remaining Overseers. But aside from that, there wasn't a significant following. And as much as he'd never openly admit it, inwardly it was his fault for not doing something about his condition sooner and being more active in his role of Sith'ari. That was on him. And he would pay for that mistake. For now, he could hear out what Akrak had to say.

Akrak fell into step with the Zabrak. His reaction was...certainly not what he had been expecting. He half expected to be cut down where he stood. The Sith'ari must have been in a more...charitable mood today. Rather than look this gift in the mouth, he decided it would be best to capitalize on it.
"En route to Lianna, we were intercepted over Centares by a pirate fleet. At first, I paid no mind to the pirates. But they were well organized and well equipped. They laid an ambush for us. They knew we were coming. After a heated engagement, I managed to escape with some of the raiding fleet...had I possessed the firepower, I would have wiped them all out..."
Akrak found himself telling the truth, without omitting any of the important details. It wasn't his fault he never made it to Lianna. He did the best he could with what he had to even manage to escape. And he was speaking the truth. If he had a fully outfitted fleet, rather than a small raiding group, he would have crushed the pirates. Unfortunately, even with the ships he had, it just couldn't be done. Not without some serious help, at any rate. Though he suspected the Sith'ari already knew that. All reports of the engagement would have been submitted to Blackguard FLEETCOM. The more likely scenario right now was the Sith'ari was testing him, to see if he'd speak truthfully or if he'd try to shirk his duties and embellish what really happened. He may not have been the smartest Sith out there, but he did know how the game worked. At this point, he wasn't entirely sure why he was still alive, but he wasn't about to question it.

Walking alongside the hulking armored Sith, hands clasped behind his back, the Sith'ari merely listened. Everything Akrak had said was backed by the reports from FLEETCOM. And, he truly believed Akrak when he claimed he'd have wiped them all out if he had been able. Even he, a tactical mastermind with naval strategies, would have been hard pressed to beat the pirate fleet with what Akrak had in his raiding fleet. No. All the facts pointed to either a leak in his Imperium or some outside source being able to access sensitive materials. Neither option was overly appealing. Pausing, the Zabrak turned to face the armored Sith.
"Rather than punish you for a failure that was mostly beyond your control, I'd rather give you a task. Hopefully one that will redeem my faith in your abilities, Akrak..."
Several options had come to mind, but there were few out in the galaxy that would be willing to speak with a Sith. Though he knew of a few. Procuring a small, handheld holo-projector from a compartment on his belt, the Zabrak activated it. It showed an image of a sizeable asteroid.
"I have a contact out in the Smuggler's Run. He's not fond of Sith, but his information is reliable."
It had been nearly two decades since he had even spoken to Jerrak Vao, let alone ask for a favor. Vao was still sour about what happened with him and his daughter, but he was one of the best informants in the galaxy. Well connected, well respected. Normally not an avenue he would pursue, but bludgeoning his way through this wouldn't give him the results he needed. No, an unorthodox approach was needed here. Either Vao would help, or he'd vaporize half of the Smuggler's Run to kill Akrak as a message to send to him. Either way, he'd either have information, or Akrak would have paid the price for his failure.
"Subtlety will be your ally in this task. While uninterested in galactic politics, the scoundrels and spacers of the Run are not to be underestimated."
Savage thumbed off the holo-projector and handed it to Akrak. Hopefully he'd get to the bottom of this issue.

Surprisingly, no punishment came from the Sith'ari. And what's more, he believed Akrak. Obviously he had done something right, otherwise he'd have been hung by his entrails. Regardless, the Zabrak moved on to a new task. All the way out in the Smuggler's Run too? An interesting turn of events, but at this point, Akrak felt fortunate to be alive. Accepting the holo-projector and bowing his head, he accepted the task.
"Of course, my lord. I shall report back to you once I have learned something."
He still wasn't overly clear on his task, as the Sith'ari had been his usual vague self, but he imagined that the holo-projector would contain the remaining details. Wasting no time, the armored Sith made his way back to the hangar bay. Boarding his shuttle, it quickly rose from the hangar deck and exited the bay, arching upwards through the fiery skies. Hopefully he'd know more once he got to his ship. But so far, this had turned out better than expected. Though there was an inkling in the back of his mind that he wasn't entirely free and clear just yet.
