It is night time on Coruscant, but the city never truely sleeps, there are things in the background that normal people don't know about, people that don't have strange powers, but control more of the universe then those that do. One such man has set in motion a plan that would change all that. This man wants it all, and the scariest part is, he just might be able to acheive it!

The scene opens inside an enormous office in one of the numerous skyscrapers of Coruscant. Two men sit in this office, one over looking a vid screen displaying numbers, while the other counts credits in his hand.

Louie: Everything in order Mr. Drake?

Drake: Oh es Louie everything is in order. This transcript of this ancient prophecy is just what I was looking for. it was good that you and not one of my enemies found it.

Louie: So we're all even now? I don't owe you nothing and you wont come after me.

Drake: Sure Louie, I wont do anything to you.

The man known as Louie begins to smile. A shadow appears behind him and begins to take the form of a rather large man. The large man grabs Louie by the head and snaps his neck. The credits that were in Louie's hand fall to the ground. The large man picks up the body and throws it over his shoulder. He puts it onto the desk and walks over to Drake. Drake hands him the vid screen and he looks over it. The man is still covered in shadows, but for the first time he speaks.

Shadow: Then it all ture, everything is falling into place?

Drake: Yes, in four days when the moon hits the right elevation, the radiation sent through the Oracle will grant me the ultimate power. Soon it will all be mine, and ther is no one who can stop us!

Coruscant Knight Part 1 : New beginnings


Casey is in bed turning over with a smile on his face. He opens his eye's and wipes the sleep from his eye's.

Casey: Never a bad nights sleep when you dream about Hera and Carmen Electra.

Casey's mood suddenly changes when he see's the alarm clock on his table reading 9:05 am. He jumps out of bed and into the bathroom of his apartment. He began to shower and brush his teeth at the same time before jumping out and drying off quickly with a towel. He puts on a pair of black jeans and a black shirt followed by his leather jacket. He contemplats puttin gel into his hair but decides there is no time. As he is heading out of his apartment, he looks over at the costume he had made and some of the gadgets, he ponders trying them out now, but realizes they are not ready yet. He runs out the door and shuts it as he heads towards the elevator. He jumps in as the door shuts, hoping to get at least one minute to relax, but he soon realizes his is not alone in the elevator, his neighbor Leslie is standing right next to him.

Leslie: Running a little late are we?

Casey: Oh high Leslie, u yeah I guess I am. I over slept and I am supposed to be at Drake Towers at 9:45 for orientation.

Leslie: Drake Towers? How the hell did you get a job there? You need a perfect record. What did you have someone forge a clean sheet for you.

Casey: Maybe. Where you off to today?

Leslie: Over to the fathers casino for a day of high dealing and rubbing elbows with the elite.

Casey: Have fun.

The elevator stops as it reaches the destination. They both exit the elevator and walk out the building together. Leslie hails for a hover taxi and one comes flying down. She opens the door an is about to get in, but stops and looks back at Casey.

Leslie: Would you like to split a cab?

Casey: Sure.

Casey follows Leslie into the cab. The door shuts behind him. They both tell the driver where to go and he begins to speed away. Leslie turns to Casey and places a hand on his shoulder. Ten minutes of silence occurs until Leslie begins to speak.

Leslie: So tell me about yourself Lance. You moved into the building more then six months ago but hardly anyone has seen you until this past week? Inquiring minds want to know.

Casey: I was going through a tough run and fell in with the wrong group and started becoming someone I didn't like and as of a few days ago, my life got turned upside down.

Leslie: Really, What happened?

Casey: I'd rather not talk about it.

Leslie: Fair enough. What about.......

Driver: Drake Towers.

Casey goes to pay the driver, bu Leslie stops him.

Leslie: My treat.

Casey: Thanks.

Casey looks through the window and up at the towers. He opens the door to the cab and gets out. He is finally able to see the top. Casey looks ahead and begins to walk.

Leslie: Two things Lance.

Casey: Yeah.

Leslie: First off you can make me late anytime you want.

Casey gulps and begins to speak.

Casey: What else?

Leslie: Watch yourself. Big buisness is bad thing these days.

Casey turns around and walks up the steps into the building. He walks through security and gets passed over with a metal ditector. Casey begins to think to himself.

Casey: For the days when I could cloud his mind and get right through this.

Casey is passed and he begins his walk to the personel desk. A short man is waiting ther for him.

Stickel: You must be one mister Casey.

Casey: Yeah. Sorry I'm late but...

Stickel: No excues are nessecary, if it happens two more times you will be fired, now let us proceed with the walk through.

Casey thinks to himself: If I wasn't out of the money that I got for selling my fighter there would be no way in hell I would work here.

Stickel: Here at Drake towers we deal in the dispersement of technology to different organizations. We have even dealt with the Jedi on a few occasions. Nice fellow by the name of Jinn dealt with us once.

Casey: Well good for Liam.

Stickel: What was that?

Casey: Good living.

Stickel: Yes well we all live good thanks to the buisness that we do here at Drake Towers.

The two stop at a huge door. Stickel opens the door and walks inside leaving it open.

Stickel: Sir he is here.

Drake: send him in.

Casey is motioned in. He walks through the door and begins to think to himself.

Casey: Why do I think if I was still force sensitive that I would feel a dark presence right now.

The man sitting at the desk stands up and begins to walk towards Casey.

Stickel: Let me introduce to you the owner and founder of Drake Towers, Shooter Drake.

A close up of Drake face the the last thing seen before the scene fades to black.

OOC: Coments would be appreciated.
