389. Hoth: King's Lair - Raezyr

Raezyr woke up in the morning to pounding on his door. Trychon's excitement was strong enough that it would have awoken him even without the pounding. Raezyr rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes for a minute and pulled on a pair training trousers before using the Force to open the door.

Trychon slid in as the door slid open. "I can tell you were awake. What took you so long?" Raezyr opened his mouth to reply, but Trychon continued. "Nevermind, it doesn't matter. I was contacted again last night," he said quickly.

"Trych, we've both been having those dreams. What's so important about this one?"

"It wasn't just an indistinct voice this time. I could see a figure and could make out what he was saying to me," Trychon explained. He sat down in the chair across from Raezyr and filled him in on the vision he experienced. Trychon went on to explain that the figure hadn't said much in detail, other than they were to come to the man, and that he would help them in their mission.

They discussed this new development, and what exactly it meant, but there were many more questions than could be answered. Who was the man? Where was he? What 'mission' was he talking about, and if he had been referring to a mission that Lord Eiron had given them, how did he know about it? They decided that from now on, instead of just listening passively to the man, they would actively try to contact him.

After a while, they decided to get cleaned up and get some breakfast. While they were eating, Dianna's first mate walked over to the table where they were sitting and sat down.

"I don't like you guys. Haven't liked you since you first set foot here on Hoth, and I don't like you experimenting with your hokey, ancient religion poodoo around here in the King's Lair," Zanz began.

Trychon looked over at Raezyr, Kind of abrupt, isn't he?

Let's just hear him out, Raezyr thought back. "Your boss doesn't seem to mind," Raezyr shot back to the aging ex-Sith commando.

"Speaking of my boss, don't think I haven't noticed what's going on between you and her, and I don't like that either. Know this: If you betray her, or hurt her or this crew in any way, I will make it my mission in life to hunt all of you down. I will dog you and make your lives a living hell. If it were up to me, you'd be off this rock in a heart beat, and never be allowed to set foot on this ice ball again," Zanz said heatedly.

Raezyr shoveled a forkful of breakfast into his mouth and spoke around it. "Well, it's a good thing it's not up to you, isn't it?" He swallowed before continuing. "Di is a big girl, Zanz. She can make up her own mind about what is good for her and for her outfit."

Zanz stood up and glared down at the two Sith. "Just remember what I said," he growled before walking away. He activated the door controls and paused after it opened. "Oh, and the Captain wants to see you two in her office, when ever your finished."
