The Botany Bay exited hyperspace over the planet Bespin. Goose pulled the throttles down to one quarter sublight power and put them on a gentle entry vector. "Hyperspace jump complete. Arrival at Bespin." Goose spoke into his log and put the ship on autopilot. He unbuckled from his crash webbing and stretched out.
John got up from his command chair. “Rita?”
The holographic woman appeared over the com projector. “Here Sir.”
“Send a signal down to our friendly Senator and notify him of our arrival. Once we’re secured from reentry, activate the stealth systems and cloak for practical tests.” John ordered the ships AI.
Rita’s hologram nodded once. “Aye aye sir.” She said and winked out of existence.
“Captain, request permission to shower.” Goose said from his pilot seat.
John smiled. “I insist on it. Grab yourself a shower and some Z’s. We’ll wake you if we need you. Hefty can handle the landing and whatnot before the mission begins.”
Goose swung his chair around and hopped up, rushing out of the cockpit. John watched him go and hit the intercom. “Hefty, your needed in the cockpit for pilot duty.” He said into the intercom. He checked his datapad to make sure they were still on schedule. “Almost time to get Drake killed.” He muttered to himself.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Down in the cargo bay, Hefty and Tank were busy going through running inventory on the weapons locker and cleaning all the tools of death that were held within. Hefty heard the call and passed his cleaning kit over to Senior. Without a word being said, Hefty got up to head to the cockpit and Senior replaced him next to the weapons locker to finish cleaning its contents.
“Think the captain will let us in on this one?” Tank asked.
Senior shrugged. “If it’s an escort they’ll want all the eyes they can get but both the skipper and the XO are strange when it comes to this Vincent guy.”
“If they had sent us after him he’d be in jail right now.” Runt said from where he sat on top of some food containers. “This feud the Captain has with Vincent is personal.”
Tank shrugged this time. “The Captain isn’t here. He’s off on Mandalore playing nice with the Brutes.”
Senior shot him a glance. “That’s your Captain you’re talking about. Regardless of whether you like the Mandalorians or not you will respect him.”
“I’m not disrespecting the Captain. It must take guts to talk to the Mandalorians with just a sword in your hand.” Tank said.
“He took his pistols.” Runt chimed in. “If he remembers what I taught him about aiming he shouldn’t have any problem with the bucket heads.” The sniper finished.
“Captain here or not, we will follow orders as they are given to us. The XO makes a good acting captain. “ Senior said, the authority clear in his voice. “We’ll stand ready if they give the word. Since this is more or less a sting operation, they’ll probably want your rifle at some point Runt.”
“They’ll have it.” He said. “Cleaned her myself 15 minutes ago. She’s ready to kill some cultists and so am I.”

Drake was still sleep, Kamille walked in and nudged him "Master we're here" he said. Drake opened his eyes slightly and yawned "Good, we can get this party on the way" He said standing up. "Head down to the hanger to get ready to depart, I'm gonna check things in the cockpit." Drake said to Kamille, he nodded and headed off in the opposite direction as Drake made his way to the cockpit.
Once there he looked around "How we doing?" he asked to, he was wondering if they had made contact with the senator or not yet.
___
Bespin: the Senator office "NAIIIIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!!" yelled someone as a security guard walked in. "Yes Senator Guru?" the man questioned "I have a bitch of an itch! Scratch it" the senator said. Nail looked at him. "Sir shouldn't we be more concerned about the Jedi coming here, we just received word that" before he could finish talking the senator yelled again "NAAAAIILLLL!!!" he said "Prepare for the jedi arrival" he finished saying. Nail sighed "Yes sir" he said leaving out.

“Rita is contacting the Senator’s security team and letting them know of our arrival ETA.” John informed Master Hellion.
Hefty was a fair pilot but he was no Goose. It took him a good 45 minutes to get them down. He put the Botany Bay down on one of the floating mining cities. By the time they were touching down Goose had returned after a shower, a quick bite to eat and a 20 minute nap. John made a mental note to give their ace pilot some more down time.
“Hefty, log our arrival then get with your team and tell them to suit up. We might need you guys on this one.” John said. Hefty nodded once in his quiet way and logged their landing in the ships log before getting up and jogging out of the cockpit. Goose took his place and began checking systems.
“Well Master Hellion, looks like we’ve landed.” John said. “I suppose we should go meet this senator you’ve found.”

Drake watched as Hefty started to land the ship "Well now I wonder how long until our line catches something" he said referring to Vincent. When the ship landed Drake started to leave out the cockpit. "Good, I'll head down the to the hanger then, once we meet with the senator then we can figure out where to position you guys so that we can get this show on the road" Drake said to John as he headed to the hanger.
Kamille sat in there waiting for Drake to show up, he still had his doubts about this mission, but Drake seemed confident and that was enough for him. He looked up seeing his master "Are we ready to head out?" He asked him. Drake looked over "Yeah when John gets down here we'll head out to go meet the senator" He replied as he leaned against the wall next to Kamille.
___
"NAAAAAIILLLL!!!" Guru called, Nail sighed heavily and went back into the room "Sir?" he asked "I saw a pretty bird...kick its ass" Guru yelled, Nail sighed again "I will be so happy when the Jedi get here, maybe then something exciting will happen" he said under his breath.

Watching the ship land was unsettling to say the least. Lyte was more used to smooth sailing, but for some reason the sailing was...too smooth, as if the pilot wasn't exactly experienced in the area of flying ships, and just as a precaution, had to spend five minutes to move the hunk of metal 5 meters to the left, just for reestablishing himself in the atmosphere or something. Inside the bathroom, Lyte spoke, "By Kalimay, get me to land. This is making my guts churn like the sandstorms of Tatooine."
Finally, when the whole ship was at rest, Lyte mopped his face up, walked outside, and smelled the fresh air. Looking around at the puffy white atmosphere and the elegance of floating among clouds, Lyte thought a most unsettling thought. As he walked towards Drake and Kamille in the hanger, the kumorii asked, "So, if this is a gas planet, what restores oxygen to the atmosphere?"

“Nothing.” John answered as he walked down the cargo bay ramp sheathing Nobis onto his belt. “It’s a gas giant. down lower is all the Tibanna Gas that gets mined. This far up in the atmosphere it’s just oxygen, helium, hydrogen and nitrogen. There’s plenty to go around.”
“Goose is keeping the engines warm so he can take off at a moment’s notice. Should be pretty easy to hide in the clouds with the cloak on. We can keep tabs on most any part of the city from the outside.” John continued. “Botany Bay stands ready to assist.”

Drake started to walk off of the ship when John showed up. "You heard em Lyte we'll be good to go" Drake said to him as he looked around Kamille following not far behind. Once off the ship Drake looked around several guys walked up to them. They had blasters one of them stepped forward "I am Nail, head of security for Senator Guru" he said addressing the Jedi. "Drake Hellion, Jedi master" Drake said he pointed back "This is my Padawan Kamille, Jedi Knight and Templar John, and Jedi Knight Lyte" Drake said to Nail.
"Very good, the Senator have been looking forward to meeting you" he said to the four of them. "This way please, oh and a word of advice the Senator can be a little, eccentric so just bare with it" Nail warned. Drake started to follow Kamille leaned over to him "What do you think he meant by eccentric?" Kamille asked, Drake looked at him. "Don't know figured you did you were the one who picked this senator" Drake replied.
"NAAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLL" Senator Guru called out "Yes Senator" Nail said going in the room with Drake not far behind, Guru stared at Drake "Ah Nail a ghost! Kill it like the rest!" He yelled Nail sighed "No sir he is a Jedi..." he replied. Guru stared at Drake then turned to Nail "Kill it like the rest" Guru said, Nail sighed again.
Drake looked at Kamille "Guess we know what he meant by eccentric" Drake said.

Standing next to Drake and Hellion, "Hey, at least he makes his commands known," whispered Lyte to the only other two force users in the vicinity. "I remember working with a lieutenant whose only means of communication was writing things on a white board." Looking back at the head of security, the nautolan said, "He must like you a lot. How'd you gain the position?"
Another thought occurred to Lyte while he was standing next to his associates. "I'm a jedi knight, now? When did that happen? I thought I was a kumorii," said Lyte to Drake with wide eyes the width of miniature footballs.

“No one knows what that is.” John said aside to Lyte. “It’s easier just to introduce you as a Jedi. Lets them know you’re a Force user as well and avoids any weird trust issues that come with brining a person from a strange order of force users. This man is putting his life at risk, trust is important.”
When Guru started talking about killing things John’s first reaction was to tighten his grip on his staff. It was a snap reaction to get ready for a fight but when nothing happened he relaxed and shook his head. “How did this guy get to be a senator” he whispered to himself.

Nail looked at John "No one ran against him unfortunately" he said about how Guru ended up being Senator. Drake sighed as well "Guru" Drake started to say "THATS SENATOR KAMI GURU!" Guru replied, "Can't I just call you Guru for short?" Drake asked. Guru stared at him for a moment "Senator Kami Guru will allow this" he said.
Drake looked at Nail who merely shrugged turning back to Guru "We're here because we want the same thing I believe. We both want to put an end to this force cult" Drake said "Yes yes, the people who are worshiping the force god. When I am the only god they should worship!" Guru said, Drake turned to Kamille this time who shrugged. "Okay, we'll come back to that later" Drake said.
"Look I was thinking the plan would be me and Nail here escort you out to the transports, we do this in the broad middle of the day where anybody can kill you" he said "Please god let someone kill him" Nail mumbled to himself. "There our assassin should well try to assassinate you which then the rest of my fellow Jedi here will jump in and arrest the guy." Drake said.
"I like the sound of that plan!" Guru said "Good thing I thought of it...NAAAAAIIIIL" Guru said "I'm right here sir" Nail replied "Gooooood once this is done we shall gather the force orbs, and wish for a hi definition TV!" He yelled Drake looked at Kamille "Seriously this was the only Senator you could find?" Drake asked him. Kamille laughed about this.

Nudging Kamille in the shoulder, Lyte said, "Hey, at least if he dies, the world will be a better place." I may be righteous and what not, but I'm not willing to watch this moron continue his gyrations of induced insanity at his very men.
Yet another thought occurred to the kumorii as he rolled the situation through his head. Nudging Kamille again in the side, Lyte said, "Wait wait wait, who told the guy about the orbs? I thought that was supposed to be on the down low?"

"Of course I know of them!" Guru yelled "It is all that the cult has been trying to get this entire time!" He continued to yell. Drake sighed and looked at everyone "We should scout out the area, make sure Vincent isn't already here" Drake said to the group. Kamille looked at his master "And if he is here, won't he just rabbit if we spot him" he asked.
"Not this time" Drake said as he started to leave the room "We capture the bastard this time, understood. I don't care if we have to break both his legs and cut off both of his arms, we're bringing him in" Drake said as he walked out the room. Kamille looked at everyone in the room "He seems tense about something, but he makes a point. We need to get Vincent out the game, then we can focus on Kassender..." he said as he followed behind Drake.
Drake walked out the building and looked around he didn't see anything weird as of just yet. Kamille walked out and looked around "I think we should have you guys situated on those near by buildings" Drake said pointing to one of the ones across the way. Drake wasn't too fond of this planet last time he was here he had a slight altercation with his last padawan that didn't end well.
