She surmised the door he used went to the alley in the back, so she curled around the outside of the Inn to meet him there. Holding a gun aimed at her about 15 meters away. She would stop, and listen to what he had to say.
"I'm not compromised. I'm not a traitor. I needed the virus injections to survive, because mine were destroyed on Etti IV, along with my ship. I had too-"
She cut him off there, speaking her first words to him in 8 months. "Dominion, you left the classified site with a group of Jedi and a Sith turning to the Light Side, along with other individuals. You fail to report back after failing to complete your mission and instead turn to killing the Keeper of the Safehouse here in Theed and steal the injections. You can't believe that what you've done and failed to do cast any sort of redeeming light on you." Agent Anaglesia would take steps toward Agent Dominion, carefully watching his eyes to tell when he would fire.

As much as he was telling the truth, she was as well. He had failed his missiom, failing to leave no one alive. He was sure that some scientists were able to escape, due to the ripped open hanger and the large amount of time they were given. Not to mention the Seer that powered the AI computer he was sent to destroy was still alive, along with powerful enemies of theirs also were alive and knew of the facility. No matter how it could even possibly aid them in the future, he had still failed. And then everything else, from an outsiders point of view... she was right. Didn't help him at all.
As she stepped closer to him, he would take a step back, placing his left foot back and instantly in position to fire, both hands on his weapon. He knew that a bullet anywhere else on her body wouldn't stop her. Only a shot to the head would do anything. "Look, Ashlyn," he knew he would pay for that. Calling her by her real name out here in the open. But he needed to appeal to her in some way. "I didn't-" he stopped himself. He was going to say that it wasn't him that killed the Keeper, that it was someone from the group he was taking refuge with for the time being, but that would only make things worse. Dominic swallowed, then took a different approach.
"The Keeper being dead is a consequence of nobody's. She was following protocol, but I had to protect myself, the same reason I went for those injections. I was completely out of time, I felt my body dying long before I arrived in Theed. I had to-" She moved. Dominion pulled the trigger.

As he repositioned himself, she stopped once more. He was a twitch away from firing. She kept staring at his eyes, waiting for his tell when he would fire.
Then he called her by her real name. That made her eyes widen and breath in deeply, first in shock, then anger. Shock that he would do something as stupid as using her real name outside of the HQ building. Maybe he was a traitor, being that reckless. Then rage. If someone knew her real name, even her first name, along her description? Could put the whole Program in jeopardy! Including her and the rest of her team. Her friends. A group that Dominion... no. Dominic, just left.
He had to be taken out. It was her orders from on high, mixed the rage she just felt and her own personal vendetta against the one who stole her favor. It was only Just that he fell this way.
She moved to take a step forward, and saw his eyes squint, saw that motion of re-aiming. THAT was his tell that he was about to fire. She angled her head out of the way, aware of the fact that he would aim there. He knew that anywhere else wouldn't even slow her down, so he would go for the brain.
The thing that surprised her was the fact it wasnt energy based, but a slugthrower. The bullet grazed her cheekbone, taking out the skin there and just barely rocketing past the bone, the explosive sound echoeing out into the city.
With her left foor placed forward, she used it's power to throw herself up to the wall like some sort of spider, pulling a weapon of her own out from the back of her pants, quickly pointing and firing at Dominic while sticking to the wall, the magnetic device in her foot keeping her to the well.

Kark, she could tell when he would fire, and as such he only got a graze on her. That wouldn't do anything. Dominion followed her path with his weapon, firing once at her on the wall before being forced to duck and roll back, Ashlyn having a weapon of her own. One energy blast singed his clothes, but the other just missed him.
On his knees, he raised he weapon he and fired again, calling out, "I'm the better marksman!"

One of her shots grazed him, the other missed. While his reactionary shot pierced through the top of her shoulder. This wasn't going well. He was right, he was the better markesman. Better get rid of the guns then.
She saw him get ready for another shot, so she pushed off the wall towards the floor, dodging his next shot. With a fluid and practiced maneuver with her other leg, she would stop moving diagonally, and jump into the air, twisting then bringing down her first leg like an axe towards the Ex-Agent.

His next shot rang out theough the air, missing and sinking into the building, right where Ashlyn's head was but a moment before. He moved his gun with her once more, firing at her as she landed right infrint of him, but she flee into the air to quickly. He knew this move, and that metal leg of hers could turn his head to paste.
He pushed up and back quickly, pushing from his leg that was onfront. Her leg whizzed right past his face, slamming into the ground with a mechanical whir, the ground cracking and splitting a little at the impact. His recovery to get his footing back disallowed him to get a good shot off, but as he got his footing Dominion pointed at her once more with his weapon.

Missed. Damn.
Using the same leg that hit the ground, Agent Anaglesia rose up and twisted with her other leg, swinging around to kick Dominic with a horizontal arc.
This also made her smalled target for the bullet to hit.
"You may be, but I'm a better fighter!"

Dominion was able to pull the trigger to his weapon just after Ashlyn's foot connected to the barrel of his weapon, sending it just off course behind her. The power from the kick also sent the gun flying from Dominion's grip, knocking against the wall then skidding to the ground behind Ashlyn.
Dominion backed up, still concious of the steak knife he kept in his sleeve this whole time. Now would be a time if any...
Flicking his wrist, the knife appeared in his hand, held tight in a defensive position, his eyes focused on Ashlyn, knowing he could definitely die today. There was no way he was getting to her head, but maybe her throat... but she knew that's what he would try. Stabbing her in the chest or arms wouldn't do anything unless he pierced something special...
She was definitely better than him at martial arts, but he was close to matching her when he had a short weapon. Close. He had to get himself out of this...
"Kizen would see my circumstances! See that I'm still with you, not a traitor!"
It was just crazy enough... She would either want to kill him more for saying that, or it would be enough to snap her out of this, and stand down.

Zalor most likely knew that as Negue's granddaughter trotted up him. "Tanara, Ajhan..." Loki said nodded to her as he stood, noticing her remark about him being silly. "Your grandfather was much taller than me." He said simply. "Speaking of the devil, where is he?" Loki asked expectantly |

The nature of the kick meant that she had to spin all the way around, planting her foot behind her and stopping herself. In a flash, Dominic had a knife in his hands. She smirked, but inwardly she was frowning. Dominion wasn't the best martial artist, but long range weapons and improvised short-range weapons were his specialty. Whether it was a bar stool, a stick, or an actual weapon, like the knife he was holding.
The nature of her legs made them impervious to a simple knife, but she knew that all it took was a second, and he'd drive it into a part of her that wasn't metal. What might be worse, was how loud that slugthrower was, and the fact that they were in the middle of Theed. Authorities had to be on their way, including any of his new friends from inside the Inn. Staying here to finish him off was becoming less and less of an option. No. She wouldn't fail like he had. She never failed. She wouldn't be the proof that he was better than her, that he deserved the top rank.
Then he spoke a name that damned him. Kizen. The fact that Dominic was saying his name, as if Kizen would be on his side! Her eyes widened and her jaw opened in a cry of fury as she delivered her next two strikes. She pivoted on her front right foot, striking out with her left, instantly planting that left whether it hit or not, following up with the same move, another pivot and another strike.
"YOU DON'T GET TO SPEAK HIS NAME!" Not after what he did... Not after what he didn't do to save him...

Well, that backfired.
Just the sight of her face changing, the eyes widening and her mouth opening due to anger was enough to make him take a step back. The fact that robotic legs were coming for him just made it easier to do so.
"But he would! You know it!"
A quick dodge and moving his head left, just out of the way of one kick, then falling back another step to move his head to the right to avoid another. His free hand came up and grabbed her extended right leg, pushing it against the nearby wall of the alley, then slicing at her with his knife. First down and to the left, then down and to the right, making a big X. With his right arm moving back to his right side, while flicking the knife in his right into the air and to the left. His left arm would shoot out and grab the knife backhanded and proceed to stab twice to Ashlyn's left side, first higher chest area, second her waist or hips.
With his left hand low enough, a straight jab with his right fist to her face should be able to connect.

Neither of her kicks landed, and her right leg got shoved to the side, opening her up for the strikes that Dominic was moving to make. Kark, her anger got her in a bad spot, she acted carelessly! A spike jutted out from her left leg, driving into the ground to stabilize her as she leaned back and to the side to avoid the first slash, and pull back her right leg to stand on. The stabilizing spike retreated now back into her leg, letting her take another step back to lean the other way to avoid the next slash. Each time, the blade passing a centimeter or so away from her.
"But he would! You know it!" Dominic said.
Her hands turned to fists to counterattack, but a flash of light reflected off of the flying knife caught her, and then there was a stab coming to her side. She stopped the first strike by angling her elbow at a 90 degree angle, Dominic moving too fast for her to grab his wrist and control the knife. Her left arm moved down to block the next stab, seeing the punch coming for her just too late. His fist connected with her mouth, jogging her head back, but her right hand was there in less than a heartbeat, grabbing his wrist and pulling it more to her right.
She was try to flip her left hand around to grip his left hand that held the knife, and lift that up to shoulder height and hold it more to her left. Doing this would effectively cross Dominic's arms, leaving his chest exposed. She would lift her right foot, and deliver a powerful kick to his stomach.
"It doesn't matter! He's dead, and you killed him!"

His attacks got close, but not close enough. His fist did connect with her face, but then both of his hands were being pulled in different directions, and a robotic leg sent him practically flying back, legs stumbling to keep himself upright. He was about to fall, but his back slammed into the back wall of the alley, keeping him up on his feet, but also cornering him. In a last ditch effort, he passed the blade from his left hand to his right, holding on by the blade. One step forward, then brought his right hand up and back, then sent the knife flying towards Ashlyn.
"You know it was his choice! If Kizen didn't die, we would all be dead!"

The move was instant- but far more gentle than the previous time Lavi had startled the Polydroxol. With a fluid motion, Farris turned on his heel and his two hands gently took hold of the Ski'try's shoulders, as he looked down at her with disapproving eyes.
Lavinia...You could get very hurt out here.
He said, almost breathlessly. After a few seconds he sighed, and relented. Suddenly he pulled the woman into an embrace- not like one a lover would give his mate, but one of protection. His voice was a little less strained, but a little more emotional as he continued.
but I'm very glad you didn't listen to me. You just helped me a lot. Right now though- I really need you to do what I say. Either go inside... or stay on the roof tops and out of sight.
He pulled away from her and then turned to sprint off in the direction she had indicated. His sudden embrace wasn't really unwarranted. He felt so many people distrusted him, for good reason. The woman he had tried to rescue now wouldn't speak to him- others who had realized his true intentions also were turned away from him. Lavinia now knew that Dr Kelvin was not really Dr. Kelvin- rather this silver being, and she still risked her safety simply to give him helpful information. She was someone he could count on, not to turn her back on him, and that made her special, at least, to Farris.
Approaching the corner- Farris slowed his pace to a walk, and came into plain view of the two agents. He saw the tail end of the fight- Dominic missing the savage kicks from the woman, their brief exchange of angry words- the woman's narrow miss of the knife attacks and failure to dodge the punch- and then Dominic's throwing of the blade.
Farris was careful to let the agent's attack follow through before speaking- because he did not wish to throw off Dominic's attack anymore than he wanted Lavinina getting mixed up in all this.
The Polydroxol spoke without fear tempering his voice- and with a measure of sculpted shock.
It's not nice to throw knives Dr Mitchel... and you, young lady- It's rude to attack doctors ...and dangerous. We doctors stick together.
He looked narrowly at Dominic. Don't we?
He did not hesitate to approach the two- opting to position himself in Anaglesia's way should she try another assault on Dominic. The short answer was- Farris owed Dominic a debt, even if the man didn't realize it- and this woman...didn't.

*Lavi was a bit surprised when Farris had pulled her into an embrace, feeling the beings silver arms fold around her in more of a protective manner, much like she would hold her wings around her most of the time. Though this felt much warmer and not as lonely as her wings. She looks up at him, she was still concerned, not to long ago the Doctor had looked not so good. And after just finding someone she knew, she didn't want anything to happen to him.*
I know... But. Last time I was.... Go. Do what you need to.. I'm watching.
*She was surprised how he seemed to know just how much pressure to apply in his hug, most beings would bump her, or shove by and almost damage her hollow boned body, she wasn't going to break like a glass ornament, but she was more apt to crushing and breaking then most other beings. When she spoke, her eyes were firm, she had decided and nothing he said would change her mind. It would be a side of her that he would not have seen at RDMC. There she was timid, quiet, and reserved. But no one there had ever really asked her about her travels with Daedelus.
She shakes her head, climbing back up enough to get back into flight. Flying up onto the roof. She would follow from there. Watching Farris. She wasn't going to let him out of her sight. She did that once. And she was left alone on a strange world. As far as worlds went, Naboo wasn't terrible, but she didn't like the idea of being surrounded completely by strangers. Having found something familiar was warming to her.*

The throwing of his last weapon caught Anaglesia a smidgen off guard, but not enough to where she couldn't side-step it, watching the blade fly past her, clattering to the ground and... Someone standing there caught her attention, and she turned her head fully to him. Or, it. A polydroxol, if she was correct, standing behind her in it's silvery humanoid form.It's not nice to throw knives Dr Mitchel... and you, young lady- It's rude to attack doctors ...and dangerous. We doctors stick together. He looked narrowly at Dominic. Don't we? He did not hesitate to approach the two- opting to position himself in Anaglesia's way should she try another assault on Dominic.
She kept her body aimed perpendicular so her back was to none. Her mind was racing with 12 different trains of thought, some smashing into eachother and some scraping by and getting more attention. If he lied, then he wasn't turning on them. But it was only a matter of time before the force users learned about who he was and who they worked for.. Was he planning on assassinating them? Was he planning on just spying on them? Then it brings it back to the first problem, only a matter of time... Then there was his failure to a mission, failure to report in and killing a vital contact in an important city.
She needed to talk to HQ about this, before she made any decisions. This didn't stop her from wanting to kill Dominic, but... it changed things. Like for one, he wasn't a liar.
She turned her head to him, frowning, and said "You better know what you're doing. If they deem it fit, you will die by my hands." And then she would run at the wall, placing one foot and using it to push off towards the other wall. With mechanical whirs sounding every time she pushed off, she climbed the alley until she flew onto the building which was not the Inn, vanishing from sight.

Farris watched the woman tightly for a moment, before she spoke a few heated words to Dominic, then.....left? Really? His simple words caused her to break off her assault and leave? Dominic didn't even look like a Doctor now- and neither did Farris. The odds were seriously against him that he was lying or making stuff up. Regardless, the stress of the situation, coupled with the lack of blood and even the full bottle of alcohol made the Polydroxol let out a hardy- but controlled laugh, bending over just slightly and holding his sides- as if literally keeping himself together.
Wow- I cannot believe that actually worked. Farris was very careful not to let his voice or laughter carry to the fleeing woman's ears. The last thing he wanted was her vengeful return. Still, the whole situation was very amusing. Shaking his head, Farris composed himself and leaned against the wall, ending his laugh with a heavy cough.
I wasn't intending that to work...rather. Expecting some punches or kicks, or something. I could have handled it. He coughed again and shook his head. How long do you think it will take her to come back- and does this case have a tracker on it?
He asked, pointing at his chest to make sure Dominic knew what he was talking about. Because if it does- we need to take care of that.

Dominic didn't take his eyes off of Ashlyn, except for the moment that Farris came into view, claiming that they, Doctors, stayed together. He then switched his eyes to Ashlyn and after a brief stare-down and some words spoken on her part, she left the only way out. Up. She liked to do that. He had pressed himself against the wall like a cornered animal, staying like that until a solid 10 seconds had passed after she left. Then he turned to Farris, who was currently laughing.
Dominic gave out a heavy sight, releasing air he hadn't realized he was keeping in with all the tension. Then he took a deep breath, straightened himself, and walked over to Farris, picking up his weapon on the way. "Farris, you crazy son of a bitch..." He would start. "It only worked because..." He could relate to her way of thinking. They were all hammered to think the same way in training. "...Because you made her think that I was actually undercover here. That nobody knew who I was. Though, if command still thinks that Ashlyn's assessment was wrong, they'll send her and others in a team to take me out. And, probably everyone else as well."
When talking about the case, Dominic rubbed his chin in thought. "Well, I'm not sure. a lot of information is restricted when it comes to things like this. I know it's an armored case, so it might. Taking it apart would be difficult, and it would be easier to dumb it somewhere. If we wanted to be nice we could leave it at the Hotel, but I need those Vials." Dominic would put a hand on Farris' shoulder. "Are you alright? You seem like you are falling apart. If you fought Anaglesia, you would not handle it, trust me." At her mention he looked up, only seeing walls and sky.
"You want to get back inside?" Dominic would voice, putting his gun back into his pants. He really needed to get a holster for that.

*Lavi had watched intently. She knew she was told to stay out of it, but she had been tempted to jump down there anyways. She didn't know what she would do when she was. But she didn't want to just sit and watch as someone disppeared on her again. She watched intently, and from where she watched she couldn't hear them. She did however see the woman disappear. That seemed like it was a good thing. And then when Farris and his friend started talking. She stepped out from the side of the dome on top of the building, extended her wings, and "floated" down to ground level. She used her wings to slow her decent greatly, and land delicately on the ground. Her feathered wings fold back around her body again, hiding her arms and shoulders.
Her green dress made of a feathery material matched the colour of her wings, to see her and not know it would almost look like she just wore a poncho over her dress instead of being winged. She walks gracefully towards Farris, she looked this way and that innocently and then looks up at the two of them again.*
It would seem the dangers have passed on?

Farris shrugged his shoulders, shaking off the last flutters of laughter before shaking his head and waving his hand dismissively
no no, I understand that's what you two were trained for. I get it- but let's face it. Neither of us look like doctors, and you just threw a knife at her. That might blow your doctor cover right there.
The Polydroxol sighed. I suppose I'm not use to things being that easy- and while I know she might be back, with friends, at least our first encounter didn't end up costing lives.
When Dominic mentioned the case, Farris glanced down at his chest and frowned in thought.
We'll remove the vials and ditch the case. While I'm sure I could take it apart- it's best not to mess with things of Sith design. They might kill you. Glancing around, he narrowed his eyes. But not here. I even have a mind to sneak back into that hotel and put the empty case back- to confuse suspicion. I don't know- Let me get a few more gallons of water in me, and see if I feel up for it.
This made him think of Dominic's questioning his health and the Polydroxol frowned, not taking his normal "I'm fine" response- because clearly he wasn't. A few blaster shots to the gut is small compared to the stuff I've put my body through. My people are very... resilient- Just...not immortal.
He hesitated for a moment- which gave Lavina time to land and look at the both of them. Farris liked the girl, but what she said almost gave him another bout of laughter- except he hurt too much, and his response to her would be anything but laughable. Frowning deeply, the silver being looked down at her and closed his eyes.
When you're around me, Lavinia- danger is never far away. Thank you... for listening to me.
He glanced away- stifling a cough and nodding at Dominic.
I believe inside would be a good option. I kind of .... maybe ... need to find a bucket or something... maybe- He finished in an absent minded mutter as he started off toward the back door of the Inn- his stride even, almost delirious. His chemical cocktail had worked for the time, but Dominic was right. If the woman had of put up a good fight, Farris would be in a critical state right now- alive...but hardly.
