Jas yawned "Well isn't it getting crowded in here?" He said as if talking to no one in particular. Jas simply watch Mr.Dark abhered appearance followed shortly by a sith who seemed to be for Ashley. "It seems you are very busy Lady Iscariot. I hope Ashley and I aren't in the way. If so then we shall leave." Jas said taking a quick glance from Ashley to Malum.

(OOC: I'm with you DH I say we blow this thread lol. Wait on second thought we might as well just stay because *thanks to Elifain logically but yet reasonable explaination* if we were to leave this thread we have to get past Gamov's two Sith characters and I rather have my character eat nails than get killed.)
BIC: Ashley listened to all the chit-chat and looked at Jas and said, "I think it is getting too crowded, but we can't leave unless we want to face the Sith that's out there. We may be able to help them in case they need it."
Ashley reached out to Kayla in the Force and said, "Let us have our weapons. In case things turn out ugly. We'll keep watch in case hell breaks loose."
"I had anticipated that you would be here.... And yet I am unsurprised that I was correct." Malum said, approaching Ashley. "What would bring you out here? I sincerely hope it is not to arrange for a plot against the Emperor with these.... People." He added, shooting a silent glance filled with mild distrust towards Alexander, Dark and the one who he assumed was this "Mistress" that others had referred to.
Ashley looked at Malum. "You have guessed right, my dear," she said sweetly. "However I haven't arranged a plot with anyone against the Empire as of yet. I'm still loyal with the Empire. I'm just away on vacation."

Ashley's response caught Lord Malum off guard. "A vacation?" He growled. "You would pick now to remove yourself from the galaxy? Now when the enemies of the Empire have made their moves are and growing in power by the day?"
The Dark Lord formed a contemptuous sneer beneath the lifeless facade of his helm as he tried to contemplate the best possible way to handle this scenario. Momentarily choking the life from her would get his point across, as would a cursory lapse into dementia or insanity.
"Your claims of loyalty are put in question when you abandon the Empire in its hour of need on a mere whim. If I were you, I would not linger away from the Emperor's attention much longer." The Dark Lord was becoming slightly bored with Ashley. He had met her only once during his training on Coruscant, and even then she appeared to be an impulsive girl who was willing to swap sides at will to save herself.... Not that doing as much now would actually help her when Cain's Empire conquers the galaxy.
Turning away from Ashley, Malum shifted his focus to the one named Jas. Through a quick visual assessment, aided by a brief impulse through the Force, the Sith Lord gleaned a working profile on the man's psyche.
"And what of you? You have.... Anger. But it seems uncontrolled." He mused, speaking somewhat to himself as equally as Jas. "What is your purpose here? Should I consider you an ally to the Empire? Or should I just save myself the trouble and end your existence here?"

Ashley glared at Malum only half listening to his ramble about the Empire and whatnot. "Well I wouldn't call it a vacation," she muttered under her breath. "Don't question me about what I do," she snapped. "For if someone kills me I will always have someone who always wants to get their revenge on the Empire one way or another."

Ashley's comments drew the Dark Lord's attention back to her as she snapped at him.
"Insolent girl!" He spat, "I have command over powers that you cannot even fathom. Were it not for the contemptuous use of these Ysalmiri, I have half a mind to eradicate you...." The Sith's ire was quickly growing as it was becoming steadily apparent that he had ventured unwittingly into enemy territory.
Giving Ashley one more look, twisting his expression into a cringe of disgust and loathing, Lord Malum offered her only one more chance to repent from her transgressions.
"Choose your path carefully in this galaxy, Ashely. For the Empire will not be so forgiving to those that betray it."
With his final words, the Sith Lord left Jas's question unanswered and turned sharply away from the meeting, dismissing himself from the ship and back to the streets of the settlement, where he was quickly joined by Sasha, who had been patiently awaiting his return as she had been ordered to do.
As she stood from the ground, her eyes tracking her Master's every movement, she could tell he had become highly irritated by something. Perhaps his meeting did not go as he had planned. Whatever the case, he was silent as he brushed by her on his way back to the Crusader. Giving the mercenaries at the front gate one more glance, Sasha turned away from the site and followed in her Master's footsteps.
CIC, Normandy-class Star Yacht, Crusader
"Captain!" Malum's voice bellowed over the command deck as he stepped up to the holographic display panel in the center of the room, several crew members startled into silence and pause by the Sith Lord's entrance.
"Yes, my Lord?" The Captain replied, rushing to the Sith's aid with a shaky salute.
"Prepare for our departure and secure an open channel with Captain Shelvey's fleet."
"At once, my Lord."
Sasha watched as the terrified Captain bowed to her Master's every command. Up to this point she had played the role of a silent observer, watching her Master unleash his fury on everyone around him without so much as wondering what he might be thinking or feeling. For some reason though, his actions now fostered a desire in her to speak.
Stepping forward slightly, she questioned her Master for the first time. "Is there something wrong? You seem.... Tense."
Malum's nerves eased slightly at the calm, even tone of Sasha breaking through the rage that was consuming his perceptions. Looking over his shoulder at first, the Dark Lord slowly turned to meet her gaze. He studied her for a moment, so confident and calm, yet stern and truly concerned at the same time.
"There are some things in this galaxy that should not be left to chance, my young Apprentice." Was his simple reply, his tone more soothed now than it had been.
"And this is one of those things?"
"Precisely. The Empire cannot afford to allow the existence of such traitors.... For the good of the galaxy, we must never relent until they are destroyed."
Sasha offered her Master a thoughtful bow of her head in response. "I understand, my Master. What would you have me do?"
The Dark Lord formed an endearing smile beneath his face mask. "Nothing for now. I have an old friend who I think will be more than adequate for this task."
"My Lord, the transmission uplink has been established." The Captain nervously interrupted on the periphery of the discussion.
"Very good, Captain. Take us into orbit and await my instructions."
"Understood, my Lord."

Mr. Dark's attention never left the scene and once Malum stalked off past him once again. Malum's threats left Mr. Dark chuckling to himself, it had almost been proof that his previous statements about the current Sith Lords were correct.
"No Discipline! If only he would develop the patience," stated Mr. Dark and he turned to Iscariot, and held up his two hands, the red gems showing on his Sith gauntlets and his amulet shining for the briefest of moments on his chest. "You'll have to forgive me, My curiosity often gets the better of me my dear... I will have to find you again."
Mr. Dark began a dark incantation summoning some of the darkest forces in the galaxy to cloak his presence. Not only was he not able to be seen with the eyes but his presence had all but disappeared. He walked out of Kayla's ship and followed Malum back to his ship having to jog to catch up, but as he did he passed by the guards easily enough.
He just silently continued to walk through the hallways, and even he was often amazed at how the spell of concealment masked even the sounds made by his footsteps. They finally came to what Mr. Dark recognized as the bridge of a ship. Malum barked orders and he bide his time watching it unfold. He could see clearly the Sith lord was more then a little flustered by whatever the woman down below had said to him. He talked about finishing something up and he could only assume he meant the woman down below. He figured it was a good enough time to release the spell he stood no further then two steps back behind Malum as the spell ceased. He allowed his hands to remain at his sides as he spoke.
"You wear your emotions on your sleeve, Sith. I would advise belaying your communications for the moment," said Mr. Dark who held an emotionless face, and not any worry in the world of his current situation. "What is your purpose, child of the Sith?"

OOC: Don't you need the force to do Sith spells and summonings Ziler? Not a big deal but curious.
BIC: Jas stood quitetly as Darth Malum left the ship without caring for Jas's response. And what of you? You have.... Anger. But it seems uncontrolled.
"Why control chaos?" He mutter siliently to himself as if in a trance. Then Mr.Dark gave a comment about the sith's impatience. "We all have a weakness, Ashley's impulsive, My uncontrollable anger, and the Sith's impatience. And what's yours Mr.Da-"
Before Jas could finish Mr. Dark had vanish without a trace. "Well after my comment of this place being crowded, everybody left?" Jas then turned to Lady Iscariot "Are we done as well?"

OOC Negative, according to Elifain's post when i let him control me to get into the ship I was on the edge of the room, and Elifain told me Lady Iscariot on the opposite of the room of Jas, and Ashley could use the force which would mean if I was standing in the doorway. I'd most likely be out of the Ysalamiri field, and i assume so because Eli didn't post Mr. Dark's skeleton showing again.

"You wear your emotions on your sleeve, Sith. I would advise belaying your communications for the moment. What is your purpose, child of the Sith?"
The mysterious voice caught the attention of the entire crew in the CIC at the time, Mr. Dark's words met with a startled shuffling of crew members as the Captain of the ship looked up from his post at one of the navigator's stations, drawing his side arm and taking aim at the robed figure as several other crew members did the same, moving from their posts at control terminals and logistics centers to form a defensive ring around the Sith Lord who was situated conveniently in the center of the room at the time.
Sasha, who had been positioned closest to the uninvited guest, was more than a bit shocked that she had been caught off guard by his presence, and reacted quickly to the perceived threat by drawing her saber and swiftly stepping between her Master and Mr. Dark, her silver eyes staring the man down as she played the role of bodyguard as she had been created to do.
"Brave, but foolish." Lord Malum calmly spoke over the commotion as he himself turned to face Mr. Dark.
Placing a hand on Sasha's shoulder as he stepped down from his position at the holographic command deck, the Sith Lord gently moved his Apprentice off to the side as he moved forward to meet Mr. Dark on equal ground.
"And why should I answer to you as to my intent? Would you willingly surrender such information yourself in order to appease someone you have no reason to trust?"

"It is not brave for me coming here. Do not underestimate this situation," said Mr. Dark calmly as the whole crew sprung into action. "You are in far greater peril then I."
Malum then proceeded to ask if Mr. Dark would give up his intention to a stranger he didn't trust. "I would indeed to one who could possibly become an ally or a tool." said Mr. Dark who was still not bothered by the ring of guns pointing at him. It was almost like he didn't think those around him besides Malum and him existed. It wasn't far from the truth either, for he considered them nothing more than fodder. "You of all people should know better than to ever trust anyone. It is this understanding between master and apprentice, that one day they will have to kill another."
Mr. Dark looked over the the woman who had stepped in between them for a moment to protect her master. He suspected that the thought had never crossed her mind to kill her master and take his place, she looked premature for that, however he wondered if she had ever considered that her master might replace her. Thoughts for another time, he reasoned as he brought his attention back to the matter at hand.
"I come here with good faith that you will listen to what I have to say." said Mr. Dark enticing his audience with a lower voice then he had been using before. Forcing anyone who wanted to hear to listen even closer. "Everything is always changing and everything comes to an end or a new beginning if you will. The Empire is ruled by the Emperor and he will eventually be replaced or destroyed. With these facts in mind I propose an alliance between you and me to mutual benefit."
Mr. Dark let the idea sit for a second before proceeding. "You could call upon me to aid against the Mandalorians or perhaps even the Jedi. In return I would have an informant within the Empire and from this you now hold something you didn't five minutes ago." said Mr. Dark knowing very well what he was getting himself into, if Malum didn't take the bait things would get interesting really quick, but if Malum did he reasoned that the partnership would be quite beneficial. "You now hold this information over my head and can do one of two things. You can go back to the emperor and tell him, or you can strike up the deal. Its open to negotiations of course..."

Lord Malum allowed for an amused chuckle at the claim of his peril, but ultimately left the statement unchallenged as Mr. Dark's next offer struck the Sith Lord as highly unexpected. Although his words about eventual betrayal between Master and Apprentice rang true to him, it was the offer of an alliance that truly grabbed his attention.
"Everything is always changing and everything comes to an end or a new beginning if you will. The Empire is ruled by the Emperor and he will eventually be replaced or destroyed. With these facts in mind I propose an alliance between you and me to mutual benefit."
The Dark Lord turned to his crew and waved them back to their assigned duties before he afforded Mr. Dark his full attention.
"You could call upon me to aid against the Mandalorians or perhaps even the Jedi. In return I would have an informant within the Empire and from this you now hold something you didn't five minutes ago."
Each new word from the robed man enticed Lord Malum towards agreeing on this partnership, as he realized that potential allies could indeed be more useful than a pile of dead bodies in a smoldering crater. In some way, the Dark Lord though of thanking Mr. Dark for catching him before he could fulfill what he had set out to do. But his own pride and self-absorbed demeanor prevented such a gesture.
"A most interesting proposal." He finally said after having given Mr. Dark a fair chance to speak. He looked to Sasha and gave her a brief nod of his head to indicate that she need not hold such a defensive posture any longer. The silent gesture was met seconds later a she returned her sword to its rightful place on her person. But she never allowed her gaze to leave the robed figure before her.
"Even as a mere ship Captain in the Empire nearly twenty years ago, I was keenly aware of the benefits that could be provided by making connections with the right people." The Dark Lord said, "in many ways, the Force has made building and maintaining these relationships infinitely easier. It is amazing what people will do for you when you can see into their very hearts and dig out the information that best suits your purposes."
His last words were punctuated by a sadistic smirk beneath his helm as he recounted several instances from his past where such had been the case.
"Very well.... We have an agreement. Our causes shall be joined as one in pursuit of mutual gains." Lord Malum said, agreeing to Mr. Dark's proposal, however unanticipated it had been. "And how shall I contact you when I require your services? Am I to assume that you operate through this Iscariot organization?"

"Oh no, Iscariot is one of my business partners, I am a completely different entity entirely. You may have heard of a company that's sprung big these last few decades. The Darkhand company has become quite a power in the economy, we always seem to land on the planets with the best materials, and we have the fastest shipments. Most do not know where our main residence is or where the company is originally from, in truth it is all my assets." said Mr. Dark as he searched his robes and pulled out a very small datapad the size of a palm and tossed it to Malum's apprentice. "When you wish to contact us, leave a message at that address. We have watchers placed at those locations and will know you if you decide to personally show up." List: - Tattooine Mos Eisly
- Kamino, Ask for Nel, If challenged respond Starship
- Taris Undercity
- Coruscant Sector 656 Ground floor
- Cordinance: Z 3,026 X 2834 Y 800
Mr. Dark's smile looked oddly crooked once again as he gave his own little smirk. The Scar on his right cheek extending from the mouth to the bottom of his right ear gave the smile an oddly twisted appearance. "If you ever wish to know a bit more about the organization then drop on by, I'm sure we'll have a few things to show you. Then perhaps we can get to know our goals better."

Ashley looked at Jas and walked over to him. "How about we blow this this place before we get our asses into something we don't need to be in?" she asked him as she wrapped her arm around Jas's waist. "While we get to know each other maybe I can teach you some of the things I know about the dark side," she said with a smirk. "Oh and by the way..." She lowered Jas's face to her level. "I'm glad I surprised the hell out of you earlier when I kissed you," she said softly. "Although I was kind of expecting you to kiss me back, but that's okay I'll let you get away with that one just this once." She laughed softly. "My TIE fighter is around on this trash heap somewhere."

Sasha caught the datapad in mid air, retaining her hold on the device for only a second or two as she stared Mr. Dark in the eye, taking note of his unusual facial features as he formed a crooked smirk of his own in response to her Master's reply. She kept watch on the grisly expression of Mr. Dark as she handed the datapad over he shoulder to Lord Malum.
"We shall be in touch then." The Dark Lord said, eying the datapad briefly for himself before he deactivated the device and placed it on the console behind him.
"And now, if you will excuse me, I have pressing matters to attend to." Malum said, looking slightly over his shoulder towards Dark as he turned to face the holographic command screen. "I trust you can escort yourself out without any trouble?"
