When all else fails...

[eb]

Eb had lost it all...
Her life, her son, her reason for existence, her perspective, her sanity (At least for now) but mainly and most importantly... She had just lost it.

Eb had lived a life of discipline, reason, rules and justice. And when that wasn't possible after becoming pregnant - She still had her sanity, perspective and reason for existing.

Now it was all gone... No reason for anything anymore... Life wasn't fair. If anything she had that to live by now... And she was going to get back with the jedi for all they had done to her...

-----

Eb snapped back to the cockpit of the stolen ship. She hadn't cared who the owners were... They had been stupid enough to let her steal the ship without even knowing it. If they were smart, they would be finding out about now..

Ahead was her destination: Jandoon.

"Tower this is (she couldn't see her ship name anywhere, so what was an angry former jedi to do?) 'Felix One-nine Sierra Class..(Did this ship have any class at all?)..ification of civilian vessel, requesting permission to land..."

All she had said was something she had learned about docking procedures, only made up the vesselindication. But did that really matter? It was only on public vessels those were visible to authorities. And the slug she had stolen this ship from, probably didn't even know what authority was...

Now she just hoped at least someone would answer - she had searched a long time for this place

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"Requesting WHAT?" A voice answers her

"Where on Korriban do you think you are?!?" The man sounds annoying, and angry

[eb]

Eb doesn't seem to understand what it is this person doesn't understand...

"... Permission to land. Repeat, civilian ship requesting permission to land"

She feels like adding 'or are you just stupid?' but says nothing.

"I am looking for a certain location on this planet"

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"Lady, I am the special location. There is nothing on this planet BUT the special location!!" The man sounds even more annoyed now

"Now, give me one good reason why I shouldn't blast you into oblivion?"

[eb]

Eb isn't much for the pleasantries so skips them:

"Because you need me to wipe out the jedi... They pushed my life way over the edge (The words are like stones in her heart... She didn't even realize what she said before they were spoken), and now I'm here to help you kill them off..."

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"And with a whole castle full of people to wipe out the jedi with, why would we need you?" Duncan sounds sceptical

[eb]

Scepticism... Not anything Eb has never experienced before. But with all the rage boiling inside her, it isn't something she feels like meeting with patience.

"I was one of them, and I have felt them take away everything anyone ever gave to me. I want something to fight for and someone to fight along-side with. Not even considering me for to join your cause would be plain stupid..."

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

Duncan sighs deeply

"Like I haven't heard all that before...."

[eb]

"You be suprised how much meaning those words can hold to a person. And don't think i'll take no for an answer"

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

Duncan is beginning to sound not only annoyed, but really tired too

"Oh, you wont?"

[eb]

Eb decides not to answer something that sounded rhetorical... Instead made an approach for landing...

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"well well well...you'll have to prove yourself on the way down here, then" And suddenly, the tower starts shooting at Eb

[eb]

Eb didn't know if she had seen the attack coming... She probably wouldn't have reacted much different were the tables changed.

She force wasn't much help in this situation, but she was a skilled pilot, and with the anger still raging in her body, she dances with the small vessel inbetween the shots.

"Wasn't going to let me pass easily I take it? At least I have your attention now!"

The ship was rather large, but the shieldgenerator was still working... Although... She hadn't taken any direct shots yet and wasn't planning on it...

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"If you're still in one peace when you land, I'll let Carro have a look at you..." the voice says, while the tower keeps firing at her

[eb]

Eb smiles at the comment which almost sounded like it wasn't meant to be an insult.

The navigationing becomes harder as she got closer to one of the landing-ramps.

But as she slowes down to make the approach, she takes a shot to one of the engines and the systems go critical and the landing becomes rough... how bad the engines are she doesn't know yet...

Eb, turns off the engines and exits the ship as fast as her feet will carry her down the ramp...

[Mara Jade]

Eb better be very quick on her feet, because the ship's been severely damaged. In fact, the engines are soon covered in flames, and not long after, the ship simply explodes. Hopefully Eb was far enough away to not get hurt

[eb]

Feeling the blow coming, Eb takes a forcejump over a bulding and lands almost perfectly... Not keeping in shape will not dull the senses, but it sure will affect the skills...

Not sure if she should take out her lightsaber or not. Not wearing her old jedi robe anymore, in fact a rather plain dress that's been quite tainted and torn over the last days of struggle. She finds herself looking rather common. she avoids the lightsaber for now..

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

A tall, dark skinned man suddenly approaches her - seemingly from out of nowhere

"my my...looks like you survived after all"

[eb]

"Yes, it seems that I did.. Will you keep your promise to me?"

Eb tries to stand as regal as she can in her current outfit to make it seem less plain. Although covered in all kinds of dirt, nothing would help her more than a shower...

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

Duncan raises an eyebrow

"You might not like it - the promise" He grins

"Meeting Varuun Carro is not necessarily the best fate one can wish for"

[eb]

"I have heard several rumors about him and Drashk Raah by now. And from what I hear, he's one to almost have my respect on that rumor alone... And both are certainly men to be feared."

Eb felt ready, as ready as could be anyway... Maybe not presentable, but from what she had heard in the outskirts of society - Varuum Carro wasn't one to be considered caught up with appearance.

"I expect we should be going?"

(Permission to move Eb to random places and meet certain people, granted! )

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"You should show him respect - and maybe fear him a bit" Ducan turns around

"Follow me" And he starts walking without further notice

[eb]

"You might be suprised" Eb just said without leaving any hint if she was going to take the advice or not...

The silence fills the halls and eventhough Eb hasn't found an old sith location she feels the force much more... chaoticly was probably the most discribing word, than normally.

She follows Duncan while trying to figure out who he actually is. She wouldn't dare use the force in here. That would be like trying to sneak a piece of candy away from a Gungan... They would notice in a second.

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"Surprised? Now, tell me, young lady. Why on Korriban would I be surprised?" He leads her towards the towering, dark castle

[eb]

"Well - Having a position generates talk, and at least half of it is never true, but then you have to decide if you believe the bad half or the worse half. So you're saying you weren't suprised to get me on your radar, me avoiding you untill I was point blanc or that I managed to survive? Didn't take you for a person who enjoys stangers like?"

Eb felt for her lightsaber - just to make sure... This weapon was her life and it was her first and only sirect line of defense incase things became mynocked...

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"You'll be terribly disappointed if you think half of what you heard of Varuun Carro isn't true. In fact, you've probably only heard about half of the things he's done" Duncan looks over his broad shoulder, eyeing her

"And no. I wasn't surprised. They do say there's a thing called fool's luck. You just proved it"

[eb]

Eb , truth said only knew few things about the people on jandoon, but she knew her goals and wasn't going to let rumors get in the way of her goals - getting even with the Jedi who had given her her life and taken all in it away from her. Nothing was going to stop her.

"I just want to get even with the Jedi. Others performances aren't my first and primary concern... I hope you don't consider me a fool for that..."

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

Duncan laughs. A dark, deep laughter

"Whether or not I take you for a fool really doesn't matter. My oppinion isn't important here. No one's oppinion is important, really."

He opens the doors, letting her inside

[eb]

Eb had guessed that the place she had interest in joining was a somewhat a dictatorship. But she refused to think that it was run solely on fear and everyone being treated like slaves.

Eb dislikes suppression in all its colors but refuses to believe that this place was like that. She would just have to wait and see.

"Well... How about we talk about that later, then?"

Not waiting for a reply, Eb enters the room where she was led to.

[Mara Jade]

((Duncan))

"How about we don't?" Duncan answers dryly, as he leads her into a room in the castle.

"Wait in here" And he looks the door after him as he leaves

((Feel free to make another thread inside the headquarters. Someone will join you there ))
