Vetera's POV
I was travelling to investigate a signal with Obi-Wan and Adi, I had my flesh arm and prosthetic arm crossed. I had shut my eyes to meditate and calm my nerves for this mission, because if it's Maul and Savage like I think it is, I can't be afraid or angry, they'll use that to their advantage. I feel the ship come out of hyperspace.
"The distress signal is coming from here, the Miridian Sector." Obi-Wan says.
"The Cyborg System?" I ask curiously.
"It is close enough to the earlier attack." Adi says and I sigh, shaking my head.
"Why do I have a bad feeling that it's them?" I ask as I look at the two, one hand on my head, the other crossed over my chest.
"Because it most likely is." Obi-Wan says before we land and follow the officer inside.
"They oughta be flush, chips were all unlocked. No way to trace 'em. All done by the two crabbiest Zabraks this side of the Hydeon." the officer says as he stops and we look around at the destruction and I sniff, letting my sharper sense of smell get the scents. It was definitely Maul and Savage. We turn to face the officer.
"My sense of smell says they were alone, but we need to be sure. Were they?" I ask the officer.
"Yep, yep. What were they? *runs his hand through his hair* Couple of Jedi gone rough or something?" he asks, Adi, Obi-Wan and I look at each other. This makes me glad I left Ralim at the Temple to study.
"They're not Jedi." Obi-Wan says as Adi puts her hands on her hips and I shake my head no as we take a step forward. The officer rubs his chin in thought.
"Do me a favor. Spark up those lightsabers, would ya?" He asks, I take one of mine off my belt and Obi-Wan grabs his before we activate them, revealing his blue blade and my silver one.
"Uh-huh. Well, the droids that got attacked said that theirs were red." the officer says, making Obi-Wan, Adi and I look at each other as Obi-Wan and I shut off our lightsabers. We attach them back to our belts.
"They are Sith." I say to the officer as we approach.
"And we need to find them before they strike again." Obi-Wan agrees.
"Well, they took my cargo ship. *walks pasts us* The droid survivors said that they heard something about the Surtar Sector." the officer says to us, making us three Jedi exchange looks and begin walking away. I had my arms crossed over my chest plate in thought and Obi-Wan has a hand on his chin in thought.
"What is in the Surtar Sector?" Adi asks as we keep walking.
"That's where Florrum is." Obi-Wan says as we stop to face each other.
"You've been there?" she asks.
"We both have." I confirm.
"What can we expect?" She asks us.
"Pirates." Obi-Wan replies, before we head to our ship. Florrum means dealing with Hondo and his mean men...again! Hopefully they don't drug us and hold us for ransom again. We get going to Florrum, on the way, I clean my armor and weapons again, re-check my ammo and vambraces and everything is in order.
***********************************************************************
We had arrived and I still don't like that we have to come here. I pull my helmet back on as I re-enter the cockpit.
"We have a match on the cargo ship." Adi says and I nod in understanding.
"It seems Maul and Savage have picked up a pirate escort." Obi-Wan says as we see the pirate ships surrounding the cargo ship.
