Bringing the Hutts Around, Part 7

by KitKat the Mentat

The Sith fellow had escaped and gathered an assortment of red troopers. He was headed our way. Danar confronted him with one of the hypergravitic mines and a pistol held to it.
 
Unfortunately, it turned out that that particular hypergravitic mine had not been deactivated yet.
 
"Our lives for a Billion!" Danar Vorpadaran shouted bravely. The rest of us had not been consulted on this plan of course.
 
Noki successfully created a hole in space to warn him in a whisper. It appears to be a special ability of her own. I do need to study the math of that at some point.
 
Danar charged the dark-sider fellow. I assisted his bravery by shooting a stun ball from my wrist launcher through the wormhole so that it appeared to originate by Danar's ear and fly forward to the assisting Sith Troopers. I might also have shouted, "Cloaked bounty hunters!"
 
Danar continued, belittling and taunting the guy, who shot evil force lightning at him. But Jedi Vanya was suddenly there with two lightsaber-baseball-bats, swatting the lightning back to the dark-side-fellow's companions, who did not like it one bit.
 
He triggered a remote detonation to all the hypergravitic missiles. We had disabled the warheads (aside from the one which Danar had removed from its missile), but the detonation system involved a small explosion similar to a small grenade. All of them would redecorate the room if no one stopped them. Instantly, Mentat Almon and I calculated a mental simulation of the damage to each floorboard and screw in the room. We had to quickly adjust our friends' positions just a tad each to have each in the perfect spot to miss each piece of shrapnel. Ears were ringing, but we were otherwise unharmed by the explosions.
 
Captain Koleen asked, "What was that?"
 
I answered, "That's just math."
 
Vanya, Danar, and the dark-sider continued a flamboyant (and perhaps dirty) hand-to-hand fight. One of those hands, a cybernetic one, did get cut off of the dark-sider.
 
The Sith Troopers opened fire many directions. Vanya and Danar defended accordingly.
 
Noki created a different portal in space, one big enough to walk through. Davish stepped through and arrived behind the Sith Troopers.
 
Captain Koleen and Zaye had a remarkable spinning, rolling dance-like maneuver, producing a non-stop suppressing fire between the two of them.
 
They fought the dark-sider to a near standstill. He said, "My master will come for the warheads, but give me the girl, and we will leave."
 
Danar immediately asked him about his income and his family heritage. It was absolutely the most Vor thing he could have said.
 
Vanya asked him about how he felt about his relationship with his "master".
 
He noted that Jedi can be infuriating.
 
She said it was not Jedi training; she was infuriating before she received Jedi training.
 
All of us agreed out loud immediately. We believed that to be a true statement.
 
The dark-sider force-choked Danar.
 
Danar kicked him in the nads ... with perfect martial-arts form.
 
The air filled with the sound of the crunch of a codpiece giving its life for its wearer.
 
He tried a force scream.
 
Danar shouted, "And now you feel the true power of the Foot Side."
 
"What?" was his last word as Vanya lopped his head off with a lightsaber.
 
His red lightsaber shut off and fell to the floor at Vanya's feet.
 
The Sith Troopers tried to run.
 
Blue ionization energy crawled and crackled over all of them, followed by an eerie silence after they all fell to the ground, convulsing.
 
Danar very carefully set down the live warhead he had been holding this whole time and set about disarming it.
 
Between us, we found that there were no Sith Troopers left alive on the base. It was not a signal from the dark-sider we began to call, "Talkie", which triggered the troopers to self-destruct. But Talkie's armor did send out a signal upon his death. After a few seconds for someone to review the information, the signal came from outside the base to destroy the troopers.
 
I eventually figured out that the 16 to 19 second delays from the outsider's commands matched the ionic energy flows from the tunnels in the bedrock of this floating chunk of the planet. This led us to deduce that someone was hiding in the tunnels while watching our battle. They saw all of the hypergravitic mines disabled and their personnel fail to recover Noki, "the girl". They attempted to destroy all witnesses.
 
I did thouroughly erase all hypergravitic mines' and missiles' schematics from the base systems. (I kept a copy for myself on my datapad's information crystal of course.) Hicks needed to borrow my datapad for a moment to check on communications. I didn't hear the tiny crunch of a data crystal crushed under the boot of a trooper, so I assume it is fine.
 
We began to make plans to leave.
 
Then Sargon Xan Duran walked in.
 
Vanya instructed Noki quietly to assist me with her powers. It gave both of us something to concentrate-upon.
 
Sargon spoke to Danar, using the phrase, "Our family," and "My plans have had to change," and "you can take her home before anything bad happens to it," and "There are three worlds and only two ships now," and "Each ship is full ov hypergravitic missiles." "Chalcedon, Coruscant, Procopia." "Bulk Freitghter" "Transition/rotate a world out of orbit." "My advisor says this is a bad idea."
 
"Season 7, Episode 32, the two-part cliff-hanger."
 
Out of the wall walked a white uniformed blue-skinned imperial commander, who whispered to Sargon. He knew that I could
 
They disappeared.
 
"Party supplies." does not match up with the number of missiles, but the weight
 
could this be a lie?
 
could the planet names be a lie?
 
Sargon formerly Alexander Vorpadaran. But the Bene Gessirritts asked him to be replaced by a duplicate to protect a bloodline, Almon D'Joy admitted. The Ministry of Information's Director, Simon Illien, signed the order, but (as Vanya knew) he has lost all his memories of the time period. Almon knows of rumors that he may have offloaded those memories to a storage device.
 
We must make plans.
