Chapter 77 -- What do you mean she's missing? --

For what little time you had available too you, everyone quickly sprung into action to find Omega. You had just left Lothal's atmosphere when you had called Veraxsis and Tech started narrowing down bounties.

Initially Veraxsis was surprised to hear from you since he had been the only one to initiate contact with you over the comm channel. At the time you had called he was in his central base on Cantonica and had just finished a meeting. As he had strode down the hall in his professional military attire he felt his personal communicator vibrate causing him to stop in his tracks. His escort officers noticed their leader had stopped, and they immediately haulted waiting for his cue.

Veraxsis brought the communicator up to his ear, but on your end it gave you a projection of his torso as he answered your call.

"Y/N" His answered in his velvety voice "I had not expected to hear from you".

"We've got a problem Veraxsis" you had cut to the chase "Someone has taken Omega".

"What?" Veraxsis asked, his face going from its sly smile, to a cold neutral expression.

"We were on Lothal, and someone has taken her. They're already off world and we're trying to narrow them down" you explain and Veraxsis breathes out slowly before turning to face someone "Tsolgo, sun my lulani. Toeo tern lit Pakuuni immediately".

"What?" you ask but you know Veraxsis must be speaking to one of his men.

"Do you have any details on the ship or person who may have taken her?"

"Tech is looking into it. We've got the list down to 20 people" you continue and Veraxsis cuts you off "What about Henchald? Is he on that list?"

"Henchald?" you clarfiy, "I'll ask".

"Let me know. He's gotten bold recently" Veraxsis continues before turning to his men "Send baker a ping, small berkin, blonde kuho, noru eyes syhi lo feet tall".

"an sir" the henchmen nodded, turning away from Veraxsis and heading towards a doorway.

Veraxsis started to stride forward again, his escort joining him and more men coming from other rooms.

"Oe lulani mon prepared, sir" One of Veraxsis' men comes running up "Bihe many will ban ki oe?"

"Veraxsis?" you ask "Where are you going?"

"I'll head to Pakuuni. Its a known flesh-trader spot. One of you should head to Byss, its another likely place, or Toola" He responded to you before replying to his guard "toeo are going lit an sanili. Violation ro trade treaty. Sun bina needed, toeo are looking lit a girl."

"an sir" The guard nodded, before speaking into his own comm and gathering his men together.

"I'll let the others know" you reply "Please keep us updated". You end the call with Veraxsis and head out of the Remora's computer room back into the Galley. Rex evidently was still speaking with someone else over an intergalactic frequency, so you headed into the cockpit to join Nemec, Fireball and Echo.

"Welcome back" Nemec nods towards you.

"Any progress?" You ask and Echo smiles your way even though you can see the concern in his eyes. These clones are used to high stress situations, so to you it appears that they are simply calm and collected.

"Tech says he's got it down to ten people now, possibly getting a list of locations shortly" Echo replied "what about you?"

"I called Veraxsis" you said, walking over to where Echo was sitting and looking at the text communication stream between him and Tech "He's got his ships out searching as well. They are starting from Cantonica".
