183. Sith Saga: Proving Grounds - Raezyr

"Where is everyone right now? I'm sure our cover is blown." Raezyr stated into the comm.

"Fellow Jedi, this is Tyr. Do you copy?" Tyr broke in.

"Go ahead," Raezyr said quizzically.

"I have explained to the crew that our mission was a success. That we Jedi had information that the LMP was going to try and steal the ship, so we snuck aboard to foil the plot," said Tyr's voice over the comm.

"I apoligized that we hadn't informed them and explained that we needed them to act naturally. The Captain has expressed his gratitude for our assistance and his crew will take care of the cleanup. He's also sending their engineer back to assist in repairs, if you can show him what you did, Raezyr," Tyr further explained.

Raezyr reached out to the others through the Force, Meet me in the starboard cargo hold.

When the other three had arrived, Raezyr spoke, "Excellent job. We're truely becoming tuned to one another. I could almost feel what each of you were doing. Trych, excellent work uploading Iago's program on LMP's ship. Anya, the trick with the lights was brilliant. Tyr, excellent job coming up with a cover story. Now on to our next move.

"Clearly the plan has changed. I suggest that we split up again. As soon as this crew gets us going again, they need to be eliminated. We'll take the ship to Iago ourselves.

"That's not part of the plan," Anya interjected. "The Chiefs were clear on what we needed to do. If we take out this crew, the Raiders are going to be pissed."

"Fuck the Raiders. And fuck the Chiefs," Raezyr said vehemently. "We're Sith and we don't answer to them. If they don't like it, they can go to hell. The attack by LMP wasn't part of their plan either."

"I've only got one more thing before we split up. Please explain how this is now, 'your ship,' Trych," Raezyr queried and they all turned to look at him.

"Here's the deal: I got a good look at the computer systems on this ship. It's pretty advanced. It has a set of slave circuits buried deep in the OS," Trych said, as if that explained everything.

"What I just heard was, 'Blah Blah Blah Blah.' Can you please explain what that means in Basic so the rest of us can understand?" Tyr said sarcastically.

Trychon rolled his eyes, "What that means is that with the codes I downloaded, I can access the ships systems remotely. And fly it remotely. I can also pre-program the ship to fly by itself.

"Think about it. We know the final destination for this ship is Nar Shaddaa. When we get done on Courscant, all we have to do is swing by Nar Shaddaa and I can access this ship, and fly it out without us ever having to step on board. Hell, if I have enough time, I might be able to have it waiting in orbit around Korriban when we get back," Trych said with a sly grin.

"Awesome!" Anya said, giving Trych a big smile as she touched Trych lightly on the arm.

Trych hoped the guys didn't notice, but if they did, neither gave any indication of it.

"Good. Unless there are any questions, then let's go. Use the Force to signal when you're ready to go ahead. I'll go to the engine room. Tyr, you go to the bridge. Anya and Trych, stick with the cleanup crews," Raezyr said, and with that they exited the cargo bay.

It didn't take long for the repairs and clean up crews to finish, and shortly after that, the Captain had them underway again.

The main lights were still off, but it didin't matter. Lightsabers do their work just as well in the dark.

In the distance, Trychon thought he could hear Raezyr whistling a vaguely familiar tune as they worked.
