Meet & Move !!

We all started showing up a couple here and there, a few late. Five of us made it to Ebe's in Eden's Grief. But there was an SSS operative lurking about. So I ordered a move to a more remote location: The Mall roof of New Aldera. I contacted Kayon to head there immediately and secure the location. Kaiyn and then Brem arrived there, then Jakob and Avios and 'Janet' ... Janet is the new recruit that Maxell had just taken on. I hope she fares well. He had been working things out with her for some of his last minute affairs.... She remined me... *remember... trust*. Things Maxell had told her to remind me of. Those things and few other small words... I knew he valued her role and work. So She was in. Cym couldn't make it, stuck on a mission. Ebe was the last to arrive so she could lock up.

Kayon brought two more friends. A doctor. That was so needed!

Cauil was already pressuring Ebe to show. Saying that Maxell was in surgery and she needed to see him before he... expired. Avios was almost panicked. But I knew. There was no surgery. Electric torture on increasing levels each hour. But no surgery. I reassured them.

Ok. the plan. Ebe meets Cauil. We ambush them. We secure a trade. Maxell for Cauil.
Ebe left right away to meet him so as not to lose our window of opportunity.

Kayon's doctor buffed us all except Ebe. We had no actual plan. I... was running on... I don't know what. Dantooine. Ebe met Cauil on Dantooine. So Kayon and Brem and the main fighters all headed out to secure the Agro Pirate port and Janet and Avios and I arrived to a whispered comm from Ebe. They then moved to Azrith to secure the shuttle there.

~~ I've been arrested ~~

WHAT!?! KARK!!!! My initial locator, thanks to Kaiyn, indicated that Ebe was now at the Mining Outpost of Dantooine.

~~ We are going to Corellia ~~

KARK! I ordered a quick move to Corellia. But I knew they were ultimately heading for Talus. For Emperium. Half of us arrived on Corellia. The others were only just getting to the Agro port from Azrith. When I then ordered the ambush jump to Talus... Imperial Starport Base.

Brem, Janet, Avios, Me... all there first. Stormtroopers and officers everywhere. We quickly marshed ourselves, as though with purpose to the buildings and out of sight. I ordered a hide. Hide till Cauil and Ebe arrive. They did. And as he marched her across the grounds, in came the rest of our team. We charged forward. Ebe bolted back. Cauil was surrounded. Jakob, Kayon, Kaiyn andf the other two (whose names I still don't know) cleared the base of Imperials troops. Brem and I focused on Cauil. Avios... and Janet too. And Ebe, once her binds were sliced by Kaiyn and a rifle placed in ther hand. He was buffed and his skill phenominal. Ebe was smart and kept her distance. Brem and I focuses up close. Janet... she was taken out first. Then... then Avios. DAMN. STUPID HEADSTRONG BOY. I could not protect him. Ebe ensured he he was taken to the cloning facility for immediate treatment. Brem went down. It was me and Cauil. I would not let up on him. He was not going to get away. I did not give him a second to even reach his comm for help. His shots fired. I never felt them. My blade flashed. But there was no feral. There was... focus. I ordered no one to deathblow him. He was my fight. I wanted him. In custody.

He went down under my blade. I did not mean for the blow to be so hard... my skill did not yet grant me the ability to gudge. Damn. I did not want to wound him so. But I did. And I was sorry for it. I ordered Ebe and Avios to wait in the cloning facility and not let him out when he wakes. It was there I met him. There... we talked. There I took a risk. There... I secured a deal.
