Star Wars RP: Dark Council of Resurgence Sith Empire

“Yes, I heard as much from some of the people that were watching your... punishment. A defeated officer that served the previous queen.” Crystal noted. “Which is why I went through the trouble of getting you out of there – I was hoping you could shed some light on what is really happening on this planet. Was the previous queen's death really an accident? And are her children fighting for the throne because of their own ambitions? Or is someone... encouraging them to fight? That's the kind of stuff I am trying to figure out – but in order to do so I need information, and I was hoping you have some that you are willing to share...”

The woman hesitated a little, then sighted, resigned as Crystal's words resonated with her.

"Yes... I did serve under the previous queen... and her death was certainly not an accident." She paused. "Our shuttle was shot down, and we crash landed. I was stuck in pilot compartment, unable to leave - I could only hear as they came and executed survivors with blasters. They could not enter the cockpit, so they assumed that I was dead. I managed to leave the cockpit... but when I found the queen, she was already dead."

Crystal frowned as she mulled over the woman's words. “So definitely not an accident, and it seems too well organized for a mere bandit attack. An intentional assassination attempt seems the most likely explanation. Do you have any idea who could be behind it? One of the queen's daughters? Some noble? Or someone else entirely?” The person behind the former queen's death was a potential threat – one she had to find and deal with.

"If I had to guess, her children. There were rumours about the queen planning to pass throne to her younger sister." The woman sighted. "But I don't know if one of them or all of them were involved."

“Let's see if I got this right. The queen was going to give the throne not to one of her children, but to her younger sister? “Curious...” That certainly gave the queen's children a motive to kill their own mother. “And? What happened after the queen's death?”

"Chaos. Pure chaos. The prime minister was arrested. Army's marshal died in bomb attack. the council fell apart as the Queen's and kings declared themselves rightful rulers." She sighted. "It pretty much stayed that way."

“So a lot of important people died in a short amount of time. I can't help but wonder if it was all deliberate...” Crystal noted. “So, what about you? What happened to you after the queen's death, and how did you end up in that situation?”

The woman shrugged.

"I made my way to the Queen's... dead Queen's sister, wanting to present my services to her. I was made a leader of a fighter wing. But one of the pretenders attacked before we could lift from the ground and I was captured alon with other pilots... and here we are."

“I see... what can you tell me about the dead queen's sister and about the other people vying fro the throne?”

"I don't know what happened with her after my capture. The major parties are Old Queen's children. There are numerous less developed parties ready to pounce..." She sighted. "Her son is ambitious, eldest daughter skilled, while younger one charming and popular...." She said, then shook her head. "Will that be enough?"

“I see...” Crystal nodded as she thought about what to do next. “Suppose I wanted to sneak inside and take a look at each of the two sisters that seem to be the main contenders for the throne... Would you happen to have any advice how to approach such a task?”

The woman looked at Crystal, her eyes narrowed.

"I would start with that, you wouldn't be able to see both of them at once."

As the weapons flew of their hands, the humans hesitated.

"Jedi!" One of them exclaimed.

The Thardoshan exclaimed with thunder and threw himself at Isis.

The large alien tackled Isis, the two rolled on the ground.

"Fool!" Isis hisses, before casting another illusion. The Trandoshan sees monstrous parasites crawling up his body, looking to latch on. One moves to the soft flesh of the alien's throat, maw opening as it plans to bite.

“Obviously not. It's not like I can just snap my fingers and magically bring them together.” Crystal retorted flatly. “Still, I would like to take a look at each sister, preferably without them knowing about it. I've noticed that people tend to be a lot more honest when they don't know they are being watched... Which brings me back to my question: Would you happen to have any advice how to approach such a task?”

The Trandoshan hissed as he tried to remove the illusory monsters, ripping his clothes off. The other two looked at their fellow with growing worry.

"I know how to get to the palace... but only one of them is in the city." The woman said as she cocked her head. "I don't know how to approach the other one..."

Isis gets to her feet, staring down the pirates. "I'm no Jedi. Meaning that if you make me angry, you'll end up like him." She glares at the trandoshan. "Is he your friend?"

Before they could answer the creature snapped, ignoring the illusions and turned to Isis. Before she could react, the alien lizard was upon her punching her in the stomach and throwing her against the wall.

20+ 16
vs
20+ 3

Isis managed to doge the punch that was directed at her face, and jump over the lizard, striking it's back - the two disengaged, and looked at each other... ready for the next round.

"Stupid lizard. You could have lived." She closes her hand into a fist, using the force to crush the trandoshan's windpipe, enraged by his defiance.

With a snap, the neck of the Thardoshan broke.

Force screamed at her, so Isis dodged to the side - just as the two males started blasting at her, and missing her....

“Getting to see one of them is a good start. I will worry about the other one afterwards.” Crystal replied with a shrug. “So, how can I get inside the palace?”
