Log:
[16:25] K (kendrith.twine) was heading out of the base when he sees Knox in the 'lobby' area... Tilting his head a bit he approaches the sith and offers a nod and a salute.. "Greetings Knox..." having caught his name in the street the other day. He knew shit got a bit out of hand but was not going to mention it... "I hear progress on your lord's star destroyer is being made. I am glad to hear that we are not just focusing on ancient religions..." knew the importance of the sith practice but to K star destroyers and troopers won wars in his eyes... "I fly a VT-49 Decimator myself. Please reach out if you need any expertise on ships. I was a pilot for the imperial navy in my young years..."

[16:26] Eliza Pierce (crow.lefevre) would have fistbumped K over 'star destroyers and troopers' had he said it out loud.

[16:28] Knox stood in his normal solitude within the central chamber of the facility as he pondered the day to day operations he undertook. The Star Destroyer had nearly been fully repaired and but needed several places crewed. Looking over a datapad he had in hand of sensitive data regarding its schematics. Since Communications were still down it was difficult to get up-to-date reports so much of it was brought in secret by a courier from the ship. Perhaps there would be enough personnel today to volunteer for the finishing touches? In any case Knox stood there looking ominous for but a moment. As when K arrived and made his presence known the head of Knox would lift up as the crimson glow of his visors seemed to lock onto him. His cold monotone voice greeting him in usual fashion. "I am at a disadvantage, I have not met you yet. Are you one of the Officers manned in this facility?" Making inquiries before going into detail about the Star Destroyer. All while putting the datapad away for the moment.

[16:41] K (kendrith.twine) had a militaristic stance to him. However he seemed to hold his head a bit higher then the average guard or military officer. Especially addressing the dark council and their apprentices so casually. As the man inquires about his identity he chuckles a bit and blows a cloud of smoke out of the right side of his mouth before introducing himself "I am known as 'K'... Officer? sure, you can say that. However it seems that the One Sith still has not built a military I do not quite sure what I would be an officer of..." he trails off for a moment before gesturing to himself "I am just an old veteran of the wars between the Empire and Republic. Now that most of the galaxy seems to be under independent systems I came here and found you lot. I am offering my assistance in rebuilding the Empire as the dark council here still holds blood ties to the old Emperor Darth Indal. " He explains his sort of mission statement to the man. "The Remnant Empire became weak and slowly collapsed... It would be treachery to

[16:41] K (kendrith.twine):  support such a weak organization..." The sith could sense a bit of tiresome doubt in the 'dirt general's' voice but if anyone knew K he did not mind fighting an uphill battle and was extremely loyal. Still, the doubt could still be sensed...

[16:50] Knox shifted the weight between his legs as he'd await the introductions to be made. Knox taking an almost familiar stance out of habit that one did when at-ease. However it was far more lax than he was in the past long ago. After learning his name being K it was clear this was the man whose name had been brought up before. Stating in a soft tone yet keeping to his usual cold demeanor. "Ah, an Imperial Veteran I see. Your name came across my reports from the field. The Black Sun even wanting to hire you has been brought to my attention." Whether or not this was private or public knowledge mattered not. Figuring K would be tipped off to the resourcefulness of Knox. Continuing onward as he'd state, "There will be many changes to come. While I would no doubt bore you with details it is better to just show you. Would you perhaps wish to accompany me as I Oversee the repairs to the Bridge?" This would be both an offer and perhaps an order if one considered how vital this task was.

[16:59] K (kendrith.twine) starred at the sith and watched his mannerisms. The cloaked man seemed to have a militaristic demeanor as well. Something he appreciated in the sith as most like to pull the edge lord card. He perks an ear as he knows about his interaction with the Black Suns and raises a brow... K nods "Indeed that is true, they seem to run a spice den on the other side of town. Me, like most soldiers have formed an addition to the stuff unfortunately. One recognized me as she was part of that fight with the jedi and the acolyte that deserted her post. Once one of the Vigo's caught wind he offered me a job. I have a past with most criminal organizations. However my loyalty lies with the Empire or in this case the future Emperor..." K was a bit at a loss. He has been promised great things from members of the Dark Council. However being that there is no Emperor to be loyal to now he must support an heir apparent. Though it would not be the first time he has partaken in a coup.... When the sith asks about seeing the

[16:59] K (kendrith.twine):  destroyer he nods "Sure, I will join you. Lead away"

[17:00] Askar returned from the spaceport where he'd made a rather shady deal, it had cost him a lot but he was sure that the papers he had now in the inner pocket of his cloak were worth it. He planned to head back to the room of many things or the library to check those papers and see in what way they could help him. Upon entering the base he noticed two characters he didn't know and thus would not spend any attention to them just yet, yet a third one he did remember. He halted while looking at the Dark Councilor that had kinda forced him to join the sith all because she sensed he was a force sensitive. And remembering the lesson he got the day before from lady Chaos it seemed she was right. Askar wondered if he had to tell her but assumed rather quickly she'd probably already know and thus he greeted her with a simple nod. Then he'd continue his way towards the library if he wouldn't be stopped.

[17:06] Eliza Pierce (crow.lefevre) nodded to Askar lazily as he wandered by.

[17:07] Knox after having his invitation accepted, Knox would lead K to the landing platform on the roof. Taking the lift up and then walking up the ramp of a Lambda Shuttle with two pilots who had made the frequent trips back and forth. At this time they knew the drill and if K would board the ramp would be lifted. Knox took his seat close to the cockpit as he'd look to where K would be seating. The ship taking off and leaving Corellia as they'd make the Jump to Hyperspace on their way to the Kessel Sector. Along the way striking up a conversation as he'd state, "Upon arrival you'll of course be expected to be silent about what you see, as these things are of a sensitive nature." After all their repairs to the ISD was something to be kept secret in case of attacks while it wasn't ready. Coming out of Hyperspace the pilots would use a flight plan that allowed them to bypass the hazards in this region of space as they made their way to The Maw. Near its location would be the sight of the Star Destroyer as it sat in the

[17:07] Knox  darkness of space. Soon they would be making their landing as the pilots would be inputing the approach vector.

[17:12] K (kendrith.twine) follows the dark lord onto the shuttle and sits next to him. He looks back at the crew of engineers but does not pay no mind to them other then observation... "I understand... and I am guessing that the Corellian fleet knows nothing of this? I know they have some larger capital ships themselves but nothing as powerful as a super star destroyer..." coming out of hyperspace he looks out the window with interest as they are near the Maw. Blinking a bit the man was impressed, much doubt he had before from the One Sith was lifted at this sight... As they landed K would stand up and follow the Sith to what looked like the bridge. Glancing around he saw engineers working away and various navy crewmen... "This is a good first step Knox..." he says in his usual stoic tone....

[17:25] Knox shook his head as the question was asked stating in a firm tone of confidence. "They know nothing of this. As well as other plans that have been set in motion. This is but a part of it all." Yes, there was much even beyond his scope that his Master knew of. All that mattered was keeping the pace. Never knowing when their enemies will make the first move. Bringing life to this thought as he'd state, "The quicker operations are carried out, the sooner we will be able to make the first move. As our enemies no doubt will not rest till they have destroyed us before we can." The Engineers were from the Kuay Drive Yards company directly hired by them. They knew the penalty for their livelihood if they spoke of anything and so to protect themselves they knew to keep their mouths shut and heads low. The shuttle having made its landing at the hangar bay which was one of the first few sections repaired. Crates had filled most of the empty space where fighters used. Much work would be needed to full crew and arm the

[17:25] Knox  Star Destroyer for a coming war. After escorting them to the Bridge he'd make a motion to the workers, "You know what must be done. Repair the consoles and power junctions, get these respective work stations to operational capacity. Replace what is damaged with the parts provided, but none of you must leave and nothing will be taken from this room unless you brought it with you. Now begin." Standing guard by the door the Sith would put his gloved hands to his hips. Watching as they all scurried about and began their work. Panels would be opened and the sounds of their tools fusing damaged wires or replacing circuits could be heard. They wanted to get done earlier today than they did last time when Knox had been around. Looking to K, Knox would begin to speak, "This is not the first step, this is but prep work for what will be the first step."

[17:36] K (kendrith.twine) walking onto the bridge the old imperial could not help but crack a slight grin from his usual stoic face... Changing into his uniform on the way battle gear had no place on such a magnificent ship. He left his blaster rifle behind however still had a heavy blaster pistol on his belt. Mostly to show the engineers he was still armed and who they were working for... He let Knox make the commands.. it was his lord's ship... Walking onto the bridge he listens to the sith and gives a low nod. "Understood.. Once this is fully constructed it would be hard for the Corellian fleet to take it on. I take it we have a decent number of support ships?" he asks before walking all the way down the bridge and back to face the sith. "With the new republic in a shadow state.. who can challenge a new galactic power rising? Perhaps a union of independent systems? Something I could see happening quite quickly if word gets out that we are amassing such power..." He nods tot he Sith's final words.. perhaps the old emperor is

[17:36] K (kendrith.twine):  coming back.. or someone as powerful with the direct blood line... The doubt that was sensed earlier lowers....

[17:45] Letum Would have arrived a bit later than K and Knox, but the three of them seemed to have the same thought process. A few Engineers would enter behind Letum, and he would direct them to assist the Engineers already in progress only if Knox allowed it of course. This being his master's ship and all. Letum's reason for being here was his own business, but it was more less to see the inner workings of this new regime. "I have brought some assistance. If you wish, they will do as you ask." He'd say to Knox, and then both men would be greeted. K(If its ISB Grand Moff) would be recognized, but the man only knew Letum as former ISB agent White.

[17:51] Knox nods his head as he'd put his hands behind his back and listen to K. Going on to explain, "There are more than this one, scattered for the purpose of disguising our numbers. When the time comes all will be revealed to everyone as needed. For now this ship in particular is in need of dire repairs. My Master had designated this a science vessel but had lost contact with it. When a strike team was sent the Scientist responsible was killed but his experiments drew power and overloaded much of the ships internal power couplings and circuits. Hence why *gestures to Engineers* they are repairing those components." It was fortunate that was the extent of the damage. The Engineers at work would be seen opening the Consoles and leaning inside. Taking wires and ensuring they were connected to each terminal. Reconnecting power couplings that were removed or ripping them out to replace them entirely. It was a lot of electrician work and computer repair. Though there was no doubt all of it would be done on schedule.
[17:51] Knox  Glancing back now as the arrival of Letum. Turning in his direction as some additional Engineers were brought in. It was unexpected but nonetheless would boost repair speed. Gesturing with a gloved hand as he'd state, "Speak to the Chief Engineer and receive your assignments. I'll repeat my rules, no one is authorized to leave till the work is finished and no one is to leave with any materials that were not brought with you." As the Engineers made their way to be briefed Knox turned to Letum, "Greetings, welcome aboard the 'Shadow'. I cannot recall if we have met. I am Knox, Apprentice to Darth Talon."

[17:59] K (kendrith.twine) as the other sith enters K would offer him a deep nod and watch the other engineers go to work. He recognizes his mask vaguely however the sith often looked a like with their black cloaks... "Is that? " is all he asks him letting the sith finish the statement if it is indeed him. Glancing to Knox he rubs his chin with his gloved hand and nods "Interesting... So there are even more capital ships in the shadows of deep space. With the fall of the Remnant brings space for another Empire, a stronger one..." gesturing a bit as he watches all the engineers working away. Perking his brow he asks "Sabotage?? or a miscalculation from the scientist? Either way such a mistake should be met with extreme consequences...." he then looks around a bit more before asking "And if this is repaired will we be at full strength? or is there more that must be prepared and developed?" wondering what the status on the One Sith's progress was. Perhaps they were much further ahead and powerful then he had originally thought...

[18:09] Letum The men Letum brought with him would do a gesture of respect to both men. They stood ready for instruction, and once that was given along with the blessing to repair they were on their way to join the heard. They would pair up with the men already stationed, and faulty wires would be the first thing they searched for as directed by the chief.

There were few who remained that could actually place a name to Letum, and K was one of them. "It has been a while, director. I should say former director." He wouldn't go into much detail of the past, and a nod would be shown to Knox. "We have indirectly met you could say. I was one of the few who assisted you with acquiring this destroyer. I killed that useless scientist, and weakened the footing of the beast we fought. I am Darth Letum." Introduction of sorts were had, and the masked Sith would continue talking, but observing for any suspicious a activity in the crew.

[18:26] Knox stood by as he listened to K and Darth Letum speak. Responding first to K as he'd state, "It is unknown to even myself the exact amount. They only move upon my Masters command. As for the Doctor in question he got overzealous in his experiments to please my Master. Let's just say it resulted in the crews death." Looking now upon Darth Letum he'd respond with, "Of course, now I remember. It was enjoyable letting him die. If it had not been you it would've been me. At least I got to enjoy his despair as he witnessed me erasing the data." Looking back at K he'd go on to make statements about the overall state. "This is but one part of a whole. We will need to do much more before my Master will be satisfied. Once the ship is back in Order there will be more for us. Especially for soldiers such as yourself." There would be no notice at the moment however of one Engineer in particular who got greedy. Swiping one of the new components and attempting to hide it in his jumpsuit. Figuring he could sell it on the Bl
[18:26] Knox  market as he'd continue his work. |Roll Perception/Spotting/Vigilance|

[18:34] K (kendrith.twine) looking to the new arrival he would smirk a bit. This sith worked with him for some time in the Empire... Giving a salute as he confirms his suspicions he nods "Ah, long time no see..." pauses a bit as he introduces himself to Knox as Darth Letum and uses that name as he did not know if the sith wanted his past identity known to everyone. "Darth Letum..." he greets the man by the name he provided to Knox. Reaching up and placing his hand on his chest "Indeed, former director.. However my existence as just a mere soldier might change if everything Lord Knox says is true..." K was on the verge of creating his own warlord state at the fall of the Empire. Never really supporting Umbra he felt more comfortable with the One Sith even now then he did then. Looking to Knox he nods to his explanation... "I see... Well then, as I told the Dark Council, you have my support here. It seems we are much further then I originally had anticipated upon reuniting with the One Sith. The true question is will there be a true
[18:34] K (kendrith.twine):  heir apparent as Emperor.. or will the Dark Council fight over power... I have seen warlord states form and fall, Sith fighting for power is always trouble in my book.." He too glances around the workers as he converses with the two dark lords...
[18:35]  K rolled (SPOTTING) with: [9] + [3] + bonus[3] + Force[0] = 15

[18:44] Letum A few of them working here, and a few of them over there. The engineers were all over the place removing things, and of course replacing them with the best damn thing this universe could offer. There was a lot of communication going on between them, and the head honcho. Letum was pretty fucking good at spotting weak links, but for the first time ever there wasn't a damn thing he could see that appeared to be off. Perhaps this batch was just well done.

He'd say to Darth Knox. "He needed to die, and that is why I made the choice on spot. Lying is unforgivable especially if you don't have the proper tools to defend yourself with." A double edged sword, but if one wields it they should know how.

A nod shown K's way. "It's been a while, and I am glad to see you helping out this new regime. I already know we are headed in a much better direction, and that is partially why I have returned. I hope to work with you once again."

Letum continued looking, but not a damn thing was out rightly popping up as
[18:44] Letum  suspicious. Perhaps K and Knox would do better. It could just be that all these units were simply straight shooters.

[18:48] Knox listened as K would confirm and reaffirm his support in the Dark Council. Knox keeping his body at a resting position as he'd hear then a follow up question. It was true that one would be concerned about the successor once the False One had been removed. Deciding on adding to that note with a vague answer. "All will be revealed in due time." After all once the work had been done there would be no doubt in his mind there will be a new leader. Knox at this time had noted the thievery of an Engineer who had been working diligently. It was in his body language and the way they looked as they took a component from the stockpile to their designated work area. Knox would not raise a voice nor bring attention to it despite this. Yet his intuition told him that they were planning something. Ignoring it for the moment so as to not disturb work production as even Knox wanted to leave this ship. Looking over to Darth Letum as he'd state, "So long as diligence is maintained I have no doubt all of us will bring about t
[18:48] Knox  change needed." It wouldn't be long now that the Engineers would complete their task. As most of the inner workings had been complete. Now it was just the outer consoles that needed to finish their jobs who arrived late. Those who started to have free hands joining them or standing by whispering amongst themselves.

[18:57] K (kendrith.twine) glanced around himself. He smoked on his cigar as he watches the engineers running around. The old imperial always had a suspicion in contracted labor but held his tongue for now. He did not see anything out of place just yet as he watched. Looking back to Letum he nods "Of course, The Remnant is all but crumbled. It is time for a new regime to shine. I would be foolish not to support it." He glanced over to Knox and his vague response to his question and grins just a bit "I guess we will see won't we. Patience is always something I have worked to have for the lack of it can be your unbecoming..." He would then look to Knox and change the subject a bit from galactic domination to a more local issue... "The Acolyte that the Jedi attempted to take the other night. I took her down hard but I do not think I finished the job. Corsec arrived and dragged her to their base. I am sure medical treatment was done on her and she survived. I look to finish the job however think it might be more satisfying to bring
[18:57] K (kendrith.twine):  her in... I ask, why were you so quick to let her go?" K had no tolerance for deserters. Having been in charge of the agency that flushed them out and brought them in he maybe had a personal bias on the topic...

[19:05] Letum "I do believe together we can bring forth big things. We will grow, and people will learn their place. The place being beneath us." He would say to both men. It seems that this new regime was definitely working together. Under Umbra it was just a complete mess. "It's not needed to be said, but I will also lend my aid where needed. I have ties with Ord Trasi, and I have been handling the routes for years now. Our shipyard is top notch." Of course it was under Darius White, and not Letum who moved things on the planet, but it might prove useful for them to know.

K and Knox would discuss something that happened a few days ago, and Letum took that time to look around. Everything seemed to be working smoothly, and the unit he brought in was now being assisted by those who had finished their respective areas. Within a few minutes it appears that they were near finished, but it would be up to Knox to do the final inspection.

Letum would return to both men. "It appears to things are going smoothly. Perhaps you

[19:05] Letum  should go do the final inspection, Darth Knox?" If all was good, the masked sith would show both men a gesture of respect before moving on to his next appointment.

[19:15] Knox indeed knew the requirement of Patience for such works of masterful planning. There would no doubt be interference and thus much had to be done accordingly. When the event of the Acolyte's departure would be brought up his head would turn to K. His red visors seemingly glowing underneath that dark hood as he'd bring forth the machinations of his mind to explain. "The process of becoming a full fledged Sith is one of weeding out the weak. Acolyte Re'Ya has potential but she lacks the desire for greater power. I have given her a taste of power but she is still naive. By going to the Jedi she seeks to do 'the right thing'. Yet life is not about right or wrong, it is about the strong ruling the weak. I will not be distracted from our goals by chasing after an Acolyte. She will return to us when the Jedi Temple burns. I will break her then, and through her a Jedi Master who dares to bond with her will also feel her fall. I hold the patience of stone and the will of the stars. When the day comes she faces such
[19:15] Knox  force she will either join us or die." After all Knox knew her potential from sparring with her as an Acolyte. Though it was faint there was something that caught his eye that day. Looking to Darth Letum as he'd make note that work was near completion. Giving a nod as he'd follow up with, "Very well, Chief Engineer is the work complete." Turning about and approaching the one who was their representative. The man was nervous but nonetheless eager to please. The Engineering Chief stating "Y-yes, Sir. We are just finishing up." The last piece of the grand puzzle that was the Bridge would be finished. The lights came on across all the consoles as they showed the status of the entire ship and several monitoring stations. The only station with errors now being Communications. Yet that would be solved with a little bit more time. It was time to go and with that time came Knox's patience. Raising a hand as he'd state, "All of you, line up for final inspection before departure." They were all tired but wanted thi
[19:15] Knox  done yet only one would seem different. Frozen in place as they'd be wide eyed for a moment. Yet joining with the others as this particular Engineer tried to hide it. Knox would then look to K and state, "K, if you would go through their line and inspect their persons." No doubt Knox already knew what would happen.

[19:23] K (kendrith.twine) as the engineers seemingly start to finish up this round of repairs he nods to Letum " Of course, when I saw you I had no doubt that you will be assisting this new operation. Glad Corellia has become a beacon for those who were separated at the initial fall of Indal.." He says initial due to the belief that the dark emperor himself will return or at least his blood. He then looks to Knox and listens to his story on the acolyte. Nodding he understands the patience the sith lord has... He wanted to make an example but perhaps Knox's way of handling things was more effective. It seemed the man was focused on much larger things in this new powerhouse... As the chief reports being finished and the men line up K would nod to Knox and pivot on his right boot spinning around to face the line of engineers... He keeps his hands relaxed to his side and walks up the row examining each and every engineer "Line up! Arms out, be ready for Inspection on my arrival..." Having the most of his career in the ISB and
[19:23] K (kendrith.twine):  intelligence agency he was quite skilled at looking for things that may be out of place. He would reach up to press a button on his wrist and his R-5 unit comes rolling out onto the bridge. He would personally inspect each individual however the droid would do an additional scan on each of them...
[19:23]  K rolled (SPOTTING) with: [6] + [5] + bonus[3] + Force[0] = 14

[19:33] Letum Would not leave yet, instead he would stay to overlook what tricks K would do. The man was crafty, and Letum stood correct. A R-5 unit would be summoned, and for the most part the crew looked chill. Very chill for the most part, but there is always that one guy. "How did I miss this." He would say to himself. Without any hesitation the corrupted shaky fella would be force lifted, and his neck would be snapped.

"Let that be a lesson. Stealing is very bad." The crew was then dismissed, and off to the shuttle they all would go for lift off.

[19:38] Knox watched on as Knox would not interfere with the search. As R-5 had come to find the component stolen by one of the Engineers they'd alert everyone. The Engineer would become frantic looking for a way out but then suddenly Darth Letum would snap his neck. Everyone present was extremely terrified of what they had witnessed and some of them cried out in fear. Knox would motion for all of them, "Your work here is done. Your assosciate has been terminated under suspicions of Corporate Espionage. Your Employer will hear of this and an investigation of this would be launched." Though this act was not so tactful and so Knox would have to do some work to convince their Employer to bury this matter. Looking to K he'd state, "Then it is time to leave K, let us all return to the shuttle." Knox turning about as the Engineers shakily followed all while glancing over at the corpse of the Engineer. They'd never see him again as that was a fact. The fear instilled would keep them silent for a time perhaps. Presumably if a
[19:38] Knox  parties were gathered they'd make their way to the shuttle and take-off. Returning to Corellia after a long day of work.

[19:41] K (kendrith.twine) as he moves past the engineers he would look back as he hears his droid beep and the man raise into the air and neck was broken. Interesting tactic... The rest of the crew was clean.. He keeps silent and simply nods as the sith lord summons him to leave... Taking one last look out the large windows of the destroyer he turns around again.. His half cape swishes a bit and he follows the two out stepping over the fallen engineer
