"Correct. I'm also to show you to your quarters." na'Tatha began leading the way, walking through the halls beside the Jedi Master, with her hands held behind her back. "Quite simply, the situation is this: one week ago, the Maedan launched a shaped nuclear warhead at Jeraan, our most populous city. Needless to say, the destruction was incredible, but fortunately contained to the city due to the nature of the device. The Associate demanded a reason for this strike, but only received a terse response stating that a state of war now existed between the Maedan and the Taarin." She drew a breath, never breaking her militaristic stride. "That is as much as we know. We're not yet involved in an outright war, but are amassing our troops and materiel. Our reconnaissance satellites indicate that the Maedan are doing the same. You are here because the Associate believes that your diplomatic neutrality might induce the Maedan to be more communicative. Escalation of this conflict into violence is not desirable."

We just left a docking bay, Luinnar, and now we're walking to our rooms. It's easier if you're just with us right now, since it can get confusing if we have lots of ships in the RPG. If you really want to have a ship, then that's fine, though.

Sahrai nodded. "I understand. If you could provide us with information on the Maedan leaders, it could prove useful. If it's on a datapad, it'll be that much easier."

"Do they have any more nuclear weapons at their disposal right now?" Kyane asked. If the Maedan had any more, only a miracle could save the people from devastating their world with warfare.

Viree13 homes in on the docking bay, her slim ship landing smoothly, the hatch opening as she leaps out. Her jet black, reptilian eyes survey the now-empty docking bay as the hatch to her ship closes. Sensing voices down the hall, her form melts into nothing and heads towards the voices.....

A moment later, the form of a slender female with dark red hair and pale skin, with completely black eyes appears in front of the small company, dressed in black flying leathers. "So, what's the plan?....." A smirk rests on her lips and her black eyes glitter.....

na'Tatha threw herself into a quick roll, coming up in a marksman's kneeling crouch with her sidearm drawn and steadied with both hands. She eyed the surprise arrival cooly, never turning away.
"Master Faradej, is this one of your delegation?"

What sort of species would it be that could turn invisible, Luinnar?

Sahrai sighed. "Yes, she is one of my delegation. This is Viree13, Jedi of the New Order." He turned to Viree.
"We haven't formulated one. I assume you've been listening in, so I shouldn't have to introduce you, right?"

The Subcommander relaxed and stood up, holstering her weapon. "Sir, I think it would be helpful if you would introduce all of your team to me."

na'Tatha sat at the desk in her assigned quarters, which were not too far from those assigned to the Jedi. After filing her preliminary report, she began downloading data from the central intelligence node. Nuclear capabilities, geographical data, the Maedan leadership ... she put it all on a datapad, ready to take to the next briefing, then sat back and sighed. The Associate believed that the Jedi were necessary. She didn't.
But she was first and foremost a soldier, and so would do her duty.

(Name: Viree13

Species: Shapeshifter

Occupation: Jedi-turned-bounty-hunter

Description: Wears supple black flying leathers, has pale skin, completely black, reptilian eyes with no whites or pupils, and long, dark red hair. She caries a blaster rifle and a rapid-fire gun, along with her twin blue lightsabers that are of a darker blue than normal.

She would be of the Old Order, actually, since being a Shapeshifter grants her kind extended long life.... She looks twenty but is actually around 60-75 human/Jedi years old.... Viree13 was there when Anakin turned and they found out who the Sith lord was...... )

Viree13 laughs. "Yes, I am in his delegation, if you could call it that, since I am the senior officer here....." Her grin is maliciously kind. "We have noplan yet?...." A frown turns down the corners of her lips. "Ahh well..." Viree13 shrugs and walks off to the room assigned her, wondering how she can speak to the leader alone.....

Kyane fixed himself a mug of Torina Ale and sat in an chair, leaning back into the plush material. Sipping from his mug, he thought about their mission. It could very easily turn into a disaster, interfering with two warring nations. But then, if it did turn into a disaster, they were there to make sure they could save as much as possible.

Yeah, I understand what you mean, Luinnar.

Sahrai sat on the ground in his room, crossing his legs and placing his lightsabers on the ground in front of him. Resting his arms on his legs, he closed his eyes, drifting off, away from his conscious self. Away from the clutter of his everyday mind. If he was to formulate a good plan, he must not be distracted by everything else.

After some time, he became aware of a malicious presence, somewhere on the planet. Somewhere, something or someone hated them with a vengeance. It was so strong, he could almost feel it, choking, blinding, suffocating. He snapped out of his meditation trance, drenched with sweat. Whatever was on the planet, he was sure it was behind the Maedan attacking.
