SIX

[Mustafar]

A detachment ship entered the atmosphere of the volcanic planet of Mustafar. Inside the ship held Director Krennic patiently awaiting for the ship to land.

He looked outside a window to see the castle like structure, surrounded by Lava. He could already tell he was going to be burning up when arrived there, pulling on his collar slightly to give himself some space to breathe.

This meeting with the Sith were never easy ones. Instead they were terrifying. Mainly because he never knew if he was leaving with his life or if he would die where he stood like many others that arrived here as well, never seeing the light of day again.

He simply needed to speak to the Sith about his progress on the Death Star and hoped that a positive message would be given to the Emperor for his success. But it didn't matter if the Sith didn't think positively.

He mentally prepared himself, trying to figure out what to say when he would be standing in front of the Sith. He knew he would never truly be prepared for what would happen when he saw them and just figured the best thing to do would be to hope for the best.

He soon heard his people on the detachment ship let him know that he had safely landed. Standing up slowly, he then prepared himself again, beginning to take slow steps towards the hatch door.

When the door opened, the heat of the planet, blew into the ship causing the Director to begin sweating instantly. He then began making way towards the inside of the castle hoping it would be a little colder inside.

Looking up, he watched as he made his way past the giant entrance, looking inside to soon see the red glow of the inside of the wide open area of the castle.

He made his way towards the center the entrance room, looking up to see the ledges of other floors that were connected to the castle.

When he first arrived, Krennic was alone, but that didn't last long, with Krennic feeling the presence of someone appearing behind him.

Soon a man in a cape appeared before Director Krennic frightening him slightly. The man's face was barely seen as he hunched over taking a detailed look at Krennic, waiting for him to speak.

"What is your business here." The unknown man at first glance spoke towards Krennic.

"I have arrived to see Lord Vader." Krennic looked straight ahead not wanting to see who was hidden underneath the cape.

"He will be right with you, Director Krennic." The man known as Vaneé spoke before walking away going to go retrieve the Sith Lord. Krennic stayed there patiently as the man took his leave.

"As will the second Sith." Vaneé finished about to disappear down the hall. Just as he finished his sentence, he swore he could see Krennic visibly shift uncomfortably.

She was here.

Vaneé smirked slightly, leaving to go retrieve who was needed. He took few twists and turns of the castle before looking up towards a door. The door was closed but not locked as he was able to push upon it entering. The man stepped inside quickly bending down to one knee, acknowledging his presence.

Inside the room, the floors and walls were all black, and the middle stood a large tube with bacta liquid that was connected from the wall to the floor.

There were a few steps that connected to the tube and then steam that flowed freely, surrounding the floors. This steam covered the area.

Two imperial guards dressed in red stood on either side of the tube, looking towards Vaneé as he made his way inside the room.
