Dimensional Traveler (Open)

[The Dark Stranger]

Somewhere in the Outer Rim Territories, a mysterious flash of light emits from the fabric of space itself. Once the light dies down, a black whirling sphere surrounded by small electrical storms appears where the light originated from - probably sending out slight tremors in The Force.

Only a few seconds later an unfamilur starship drifts out, with a continuous momentum as is drifts forward in the Zero-G confines of space. Probably traveling only at a speed of a meter or two every 10 seconds. Once the foreign ship has completely emerged, the black sphere collapses out of existence, and the ship leaves a small tail of some sort of gas or smoke from it's burnt-out engines.

The hull of the ship appears to have been seriously damaged in a prior battle, but any sensor readings that the ship is picked up on will indicate that there is a faint sign of life, a sentient being on board; and a peculiurly high energy reading also on board...

* * * *

In the cockpit of the foreign ship, a dark figure with no real defining characteristics. He/she, or it, has some kind of device around the top of their shoulders which seems to be creating some kind of veil of darkness over their head, hiding their face - like some kind of silhouette. It speaks wearily in a raspy voice.

Dammit... w-what... happened?

*Slowly punches in a few keys using a nav computer - the words 'Analyzing astrological location...' appear on screen, then the words 'Error - insufficent data' soon follow*

...W-where the hell... am I?

[The Dark Stranger]

The foreign ship looks to be a modified archaic medium freightor, the design appears to almost be that of mechanized arachnid, with a double-pronged stinger arched on it's back; resembles the figure of a spor crawler, native to Nar Bo Sholla. The stingers appear more like two laser cannons, most likely fire-linked. There are two large ionized engine drives mounted on the back of the ship, which are both currently non-functional. There are also two concussion missle launchers on both sides of the ship, the on on it's port-side is damaged beyond repair.

* * * *

The dark figure, still dazed and confused about his current location, attempts to make contact with any other vessel - using a subspace transceiver to send out an emergency signal and puts it on a loop to repeat every 5 minutes - audio message only, there is a coded a homing beacon signal in the message as well.

"Silver Scorpion requesting assistance... *coughs weakly* desperate need of repairs and fuel... any help appreciated, repayment for assistance can be arranged..."

[The Dark Stranger]

Approximately thirty-minutes later... Still no contact of anykind, the dark figure grows weaker and the ship's enternal powersource is fading. If no contact was made soon, it will be the end of the dark figure's life.

* * * *
"No... use... to far--"

* The lights flicker, along with the ship's computer systems - life support systems are nearly depleted. The dark figure weakly looks over it's shoulder, down the primary access corridor - obviously worried about something, perhaps the cargo.*

"This.. is not.. good... Not at.. all."

* * * *

OOC: In case anyone was wondering, this is an open thread - as long as you are aboard a ship, any ship, even shipjackers and pirates are welcome to post. If the poster falls under the category of a Jedi, or the like, he/she can feel slight tremors in The Force from within the ship; and possibly another presence on board, a powerful presence at that - wiether it is evil or good is not determinable right now though.

[Remy LeBeau]

:::A speeding ship enter de area. A man is alone inside. He has his grib on de wheels. Odd Music blasting as he listen as he navigate de ship in dis territory. Remy sees a ship off da distance, it's seems in trouble.:::

"..hmmm..better check it jus' incase..."

:::Remy approches de mysterious ship. He scan dat ship an' sense two beings. One of them's life is fading. He attach his ship closely t'dat ship....:::

continue..

[Remy LeBeau]

:::...Put's on a space suit wit comes wit oxygen mask . Exit his ship an' approches de ship. Using his expert knowlegde to unsealed the entrance to the ship. Finally entered de ship's exterior, then closes the vessel's door way. Check out de environment t'see if it's suitable..:::

"..hmm low in oxygen.. Better find de people on board..."

:::checks out de area..:::

[Remy LeBeau]

:::Turns on the light from his suit as he checks out the ship. He sense a something strong with the force with in the ship.:::

"I have a bad feel 'bout dis..."

:::He approches the bridge. He blasted the door open. He sees a stranger in the dark part of the bridge. ..:::


"..'ello?...Hi...are you okay?...you need help I'll get you out of 'ere..."

:::He walks towards de stranger wit great caution :::


continues...

[The Dark Stranger]

The Stranger weakly manages to nod and reply to Remy

"We must... refuel the ship... power shields... cough cough fading..."

The Stranger continues on, not making any real sense as he begins to speak in a different tounge. Remy feels the other being's power slowly begin to grow higher, emanating from the back of the ship.

"..Haygé ehlt massü, zhar kruno..."

* * * *

In the back of the ship, a misty smoke slowly spreads across the steel floor. It appears to be coming from the within the cargohold. Electric pulses and some kind of whirring machinery can be heard just outside of the cargohold's blast door.

[Exar Kun]

"Argh... that backstabing bastard... does he really think these energy shields can hold me?"

Exar Kun, still a little weakened from openning the dimensional rift, attempts to use the Force to bust out of the universal energy cage that was built within the ship. His attempt fails, but he grows closer to escaping each time, because the ship is running low on power. The Stranger has already focused all of the ship's enternal energy to power the energy field holding Exar.

" I shall not be.... CONTAINED!!!"

Just then, Exar manages to push on all the inner sides of the energy field with incredible power. Overloading the shield's systems, causing them to smoke, spark, and ultimately blow up - causing the shield to deactivate.

Exar laughs menacingly...

"Now, time to-- hmm, another is on board? Interesting..."

Exar walks to the reinforced blast door, sealed shut and the control pannel has been destroyed.

Exar scoffs...

"Like a door is going to get in my way..."

Exar calls his lightsaber to his hand and ignites one of the blades. He begin to cut his way out, as he thinks of how to deal with the traitor and what to do with the other person aboard...

[Jedi Cadet]

::Cadet flys her X-wing into the area. she sees the strange ship and sences the darkside overwleming it.::

"What in the world? how can there be so much darkness around a ship?" Cadet asks herself.

::Cadet stays slightly away from the ship always watching it but never going any closer than a kilometer away.::

[Remy LeBeau]

:::Remy rushes to aid the person. kneeled down on his knees
and reaches for an oxygen mask from his emergeny pack...:::

"Hold on fellow...dunno wat happened 'ere but...
we need t'evacuated dis vessel..."

:::Puts the oxygen mask over the stranger's face. When the
stranger was able to stand up on his own. Remy proceed
toward the control board. Performing some sort of test
t'see if anything functions.:::

"...yes I see wat you mean......"

:::Looks at the person.:::

"...my ship can grasp dis wit it's tracker beam...It
can handle it.....trust me(smirk). We won't be
traveling in it's normal speed...but it can handle it.
Wit de weight of de two ships, it has enough gases to
reach the nearest planet."

:::Checking out de premises. Suddenly they heard something
exploded at the back end of the ship.Can still sense
something with great power, not from this stranger
infront of him...But from somewhere else in the back
end of the ship...:::

"...Wat was dat?!...I've scanned de ship an' it
detected two life signs...where is de other located?"

[The Dark Stranger]

* The Strange gasps, very nervously says*

"Oh no... tis too late... we must bet out of here as quickly as possible... let's go!"


* The Stranger quickly starts limping out of the cockpit, and down the accessway to look for wher Remy made the openning to board*

* * * *

A large clank echoes through the accessway - a huge chunk of the cargohold's blast door lies dormant on the floor. The edges still outlined with red, hot, melted metal. Smoke still filling the accessway, Exar steps out of the cargohold and sarcastically asks.

"Going somewhere, are we? Can I come too?"

[Remy LeBeau]

:::Remy can sense a strong darkside presence from this mysterious man who appears before them.. He sees the man he was with panicing as if it's the end of his life. Remy looks at the strange new person walking towards them..:::

"...look I'm 'ere t'help you guys outta 'ere...dunno wat's going on. I'm sure you can work dis out later.."

:::The Man jus' gives them a smirky look on his face.:::

..continue

[Exar Kun]

Exar looks questioningly at Remy, then quickly turns to see the Stranger try to run off. Exar quickly raises his hand and sends the Stranger flying back, causing him to slam into the wall. The stranger lets out a groan in pain.

Not so fast, none of us are going anywhere quite yet...

Exar looks at Remy

Who are you, exactly?

[Remy LeBeau]

:::See the stranger get slammed hard agaisnt the wall and then looks at Exar. Remy gets goosebumps as he can sense those strong dark energy within Exar..:::

"...Hey mon ami, no trouble 'ere. I'm jus' a passing smuggler...saw your ship in trouble...'ere t'help..you and dat fellow who is now lying on de floor..lol"

:::Looks at the man on ground again, then back to Exar. Exar stares at him with no expression.:::

continues

[Exar Kun]

Exar thinks to himself: "Hmm, a smuggler... he might end up being useful..."

He then looks back at the stranger on the floor, thinking it would be a waste of time him kill right now - oxygen is low, and details can always be worked out later.

Very well, let us go to your ship... for now.

Exar kneels down at the Dark Stranger and waves his had over the stranger's head. And mutters under his breath "these event best be forgoten.." He then used the Force to pick him up move him into Remy's ship, Exar soon follows Remy into his ship.

[Remy LeBeau]

:::They entered Remy's ship. The ship left the territory to a nearest fringe territories. Using the tracker Beam to pull the strange looking ship.:::

[Remy LeBeau]

::: The ship has now entered the planet's atmoshpere. It landed at the outland..in a smuggling village. They exit the ship. Remy watches as Exar Kun carries the man on his shoulder, then drop him hard on the ground..:::

[Exar Kun]

Exar looks around, and turns to Remy.

What planet have you brought us to?

[Jedi Cadet]

::Cadet follows the two ships with her X-Wing. When they land she flys off about 1km away and lands. she makes her way behind a large pile of rocks so that she can watch the three.::

[Remy LeBeau]

"...we are in the planet called Tatoonie..."

Remy can Sense from Exar Kun's fierce glares that he has seen many battles far more than most have. A dark soul that is seems much older then he really is. Remy wanted to ask him for a reward for the rescue...but decide not to, for he knows that could be a fatal mistake..."

[Exar Kun]

Exar remains silent, thinking of what his next move will be... not really having many choices to choose from. For now, he chooses to remain unknown - he uses his willpower and the Force to mask his presense; making his evil aura significantly decrease, to barely nothing. He turns to Remy and asks:

"You have any contacts here, that would be willing to fix this piece of junk?"

Exar briefly pauses

"...There are some precious metals and minerals on board, if money is an issue... I'm sure you can fetch a good price for them."

[Remy LeBeau]

"....why yess..I know someone who can...a great mechanic he is...he is not dat far off...He can fix anything for a price...I'm sure he will accept dose metals and minerals..."

:::Exar Kun nodded. Remy went off to search for the mechanic while Exar stayed behind. 20 minutes later he have reach the mechanics' shop. The mechanic who is seems to be speaking to one of de hutt's high rank man.:::

"..I'll get the credits...don't worry.." [mechanic]

"..If you don't pay us today..the Hutts want's your head!"..the man angery said.

:::Remy entered as he heard their conversation. He grins at dem as he lit's his cigarette.:::

"Well den I have a great news for you my friend..I have met a strange man wit a odd looking vessel. He want's someone t'fix it soon. He has wit him some Precious metals and minerals..which I t'ink worths quite a lot..."

:::The two men looks at him with interest..:::

"..oddly I seem to sense from him a strong darkside presence..I never been in such present before..Dunno his name though..an' he comes wit a weird looking ship..he needs you t'fix it.."

:::Hutt's man seems to look curious. He quickly exit the shop after leaving this few words to the mechanic..:::

"..We need the it today..or else.."

:::Remy an' the Mechanic left the shop walks towards de ship.:::

[Exar Kun]

While Remy left, Exar kept thinking to himself, ocassionally cursing under his breath about how he lost his entire fleet and army of loyal followers... just because of one act of treachery. The meditation chamber aboard the Silver Scorpion was tampered with, sabatoged. He wasn't able to keep the portal up long enough...

Exar sees Remy come back with the mechanic, and looks at him with a rough expression - posing just as a mere mercenary for now...

[Remy LeBeau]

:::Remy and the mechanic have entered the area. The Mechanic seems to be impress with the Silver Scorpion.:::

"..wow! that's some kind of ship you got there fellow...If you have the means to pay me I'll repair it..and wat's seems to be the problem?.." the mechanic asked.

:::Exar looks at mechanic..:::

"..I have some very rare Precious metals and minerals..I needed for you to fix this as soon as possible." Said Exar Kun.

:::Exar showed the Mechanic the metals and minerals. Mechanic drools at the sight of the stuff. He quickly analyze the ship. After analyzing the ship the mechanic come up with a list of problems.:::

"your problem are both ionized engine drives, various enternal system repairs, and the Quadex power core needs to be re-energized. There are also some damage to the hull of the ship, and alot of the weapon systems ..I'll get get a couple of people to help me...I can fix this by dawn.."[mechanic]

:::Exar nodded.:::

"I just wanting the ship to be able work - the weapon systems arent important right now, and that minor repair to the hull will do" [Exar Kun]

:::The mechanic holographicly called for his people. Soon after the Mechanic's people arrived and both three started working on vessel. The man who was with Exar and Remy wakes up from the ground..started to panic again after he sees Exar. He tries to get away in his weak form.:::

[Exar Kun]

Exar looks at the Stranger slowly moving away, trying to escape. He moves his hand up, and waves his finger side to side; the Stranger finds himself temporarily stunned in his tracks, and he unwillingly turns around and moves toward Exar. The Stranger has become the puppet, and Exar is pulling the strings with his mind..

"Tsk tsk tsk... you're not going anywhere. You are going to help..."

The Stranger slightly gives in, and fearful for his live, he helps in the repairs.

* * * *

While the repairs are being executed, Exar observes the mechanics with a suspicious eye. He briefly turns to Remy and starts trying to gather some information from the smuggler.

"You sensed my dark power on the ship earlier, didn't you?..."

Remy, being force-sensitive, but without proper training replies

"Yup, I did..."

Exar, intrigued, follows up with another question

"Do you know anything about the current standing of the Sith in the galaxy?"

[Remy LeBeau]

"..as a matter a fact yes I do...I'm current making my way to a planet inhabited by a Sith Clan called The Marzullos. Dey are one of de nortorius siths groups out dere.."

:::Exar changes his expression why he heard Remy mention de name Marzullo. The dawn has set, the ship is now fully repaired...:::

[Exar Kun]

Exar, curiously asks Remy before his departure from Tatooine.

"Can you take me to where these Marzullos are?... I wish to meet them..."

Exar, obviously up to something, grins mischieviously...

[Remy LeBeau]

:::Remy is curious to as why he is interested with the Marzullo. He sees Exar grins as he asked the question.:::

"..Hum sure I'll be glad to..."

:::Exar smiled. After paying off the Mechanic. The two ship evacuate the planet and headed to their destination.:::

[Exar Kun]

OOC: Thread will continue in a later thread... both ships enter hyperspace, head towards the given coordinates.
