Operative X/Holonet Message &
"The Mysterious Falleen" The Mysterious Falleen can been seen pacing the Azure Towers luxury suite. As you approach it is clear he is unsettlled'The Mysterious Falleen': Malandril, where are Agents Trell, Fell, and Caryington?
He looks towards the door as the first of his Agents arrive'The Mysterious Falleen':Ah Miss Fel maybe you'd like to explain why you're so late?
Aleina Fel enters the room wearing a long silken purple cloak, a hood covering her face and the entire ensamble sweeping about the floor as she moved. Beneath it was her usual red-and-black combat outfit. Taking two steps into the room she bows her head to the Falleen and goes down on one knee.Aleina Fel: Apologies, My Master. No excuses would be fitting.
she stands, her head still bowed as if awaiting judgement.
The Mysterious Falleen grins unervingly'The Mysterious Falleen': Maybe you'd like to also explain to me why oh why I've been waiting for the others whilst you're at it my dear?
Caryington walks in next, dressed in her nicest black and golden cocktail dress.Errdan Caryington:My apologizes for my lateness, sir.
'The Mysterious Falleen':ah and who do we have here?
Errdan Caryington I presume no less?
Hearing Caryington's footsteps behind her, Aleina does not reply, nor raise her head....merely smiles.Errdan Caryington:"The only one!"
Jylan enters wearing the suit provided to him by the Agency, looking crumpled and out of his element Jylan walks up beside his companions.....'The Mysterious Falleen':Let me tell you something about me "Miss" when I suggest a time, I demand you arrive as requested is that clear?
Errdan Caryington: "That mistake I won't do again, sir!"
The Mysterious Falleen looks suspiciously as all 3 enter almost similtaneouslyErrdan makes a note of updating a thing or two in T0-D0's programming.'The Mysterious Falleen': I asuure you if this is some kind of a joke, I am not amused.
'The Mysterious Falleen': Nor do I have the power to be.
The Mysterious Falleen grins
Aleina straigtens up but does not raise her head. Though she does so out of respect, she appreciates the Falleen is as much a predator as she, and only the most perceptive of them would realise she is still looking at him, via the reflection on the floor.'The Mysterious Falleen': Jylan Trell, you have served for me before have you not?
Jylan straightens up and looks him in the eye Jylan Trell: "Yes on a number of occasions, I assume thats why I've been promoted..."
'The Mysterious Falleen': Well Aleina speaks highly of your talents
'The Mysterious Falleen': Clearly one of them is not time keeping
Being not a predator but rather used to men and woman of power, Errdan puts a sorry mask to redirect the Falleen's wrath to somebody else. Like Fel's training wasn't enough hazing...Jylan Trell: "I'm sure thats not why you hired me though...."
'The Mysterious Falleen': Anyway, I am a "forgiving" being so we must get onto business
'The Mysterious Falleen': After all thats why you're here is it not?
Errdan Caryington: "Indeed!"
'The Mysterious Falleen': I have recently come across a puzzling transmission received via the Agencies holonet
'The Mysterious Falleen': Not only had our mainframe been sliced but there's some form of coding that I cannot detect by normal means. This is where I shall request the help of one of you
'The Mysterious Falleen': Do I have any offers?
Errdan keeps a nice face as she hears of the mainframe'The Mysterious Falleen': Errdan......You shall assist me.
Caryington politely nods in the affirmativeErrdan Caryington:"Yes, sir!"
The Mysterious Falleen brings Caryington closer to the Holonets console.'The Mysterious Falleen': please begin
Aleina Fel: I do not place too much stock in technology, Master. It is too easily.....manipulated.
Errdan follows him as she tries to imagine what could have happenedErrdan Caryington: "If it has been manipulated, there will be proof of this."
'The Mysterious Falleen': Now now Caryington, I heard you're the best. Please begin decoding
Errdan Tries to remember not to think of Fel as a stupid one as she could read her mind.
Jylan looks Aleina up and down then turns his head towards Errdan in quiet bemusement
Caryington starts working her way through the Falleen safety and admin accounts, then taps on the computer with one hand and lights herself a cigarette with the second one.
Aleina remains silent despite wishing to question her need to be there.Errdan Caryington:"This is where I say Hon hon... and you say..."
'The Mysterious Falleen':Well? What have you found?
Jylan Trell:"Is that part of the dress code Aleina, I thought this was a professional business his dancing girls are downstairs"
Errdan Caryington: "Well there are security flaws here, here, here and there... Whoever set that up for you... Well... he screwed you!"
The Mysterious Falleen grimaces thinking of how foolish Creed must've been to let this happenAleina snaps her head toward the ZabrakErrdan Caryington: "Now if I breach here and here and I start that debug with another lovely program I made long ago..."
Aleina Fel: Be quiet, Jylan! Do not exacabate things!
Errdan Caryington:"Here comes the magic trick... Honhon..."
Caryington lights herself another cigarette while loading another programJylan Trell:"I'm just wondering if I need to wear something more fitting?"
Jylan Trell:"Maybe I should adorn my horns...."
The Mysterious Falleen's patience grows thin
Jylan grins Errdan Caryington: "Bingo! Ladies and gentleman, I give you... an unidentified Imperial code..."
Caryington strokes her chin
Aleina's eyes widen and flare red at Jylan, silently telling him to watch his words around The Falleen 'The Mysterious Falleen': Imperial? But how did it get through our mainframe?
Errdan Caryington: "Wait wait wait! Can't be true!"
Caryington looks over her shoulder to the Falleen.'The Mysterious Falleen': What?!
Errdan Caryington: "Do you really need me to point again those nasty flaws I showed you, sir? Any imp' tech would see those and breach in like I did!"
Jylan mutters 'Thats what you get for working for the Sith...'Errdan Caryington: "Now the Imperial encoding here is more subbtle and I'm gonna run another couple diagnostic if you don't mind."
'The Mysterious Falleen':You may continue, but make it quick.
Errdan Caryington:"I'll make it as quick as genius like me could do."
The Mysterious Falleen is quickly reminded as to why he has a distaste for the human sense of humour.
Caryington turns her attention back to the holoscreen and after cracking her knuckles Jylan Trell: "Imperials don't hire people they trust or have allies only people they can manipulate"
Jylan Trell: "I'm sure this is some attempt to gain leverage over us"
'The Mysterious Falleen': The Sith? But why?
Suddenly the screen emits a faint whistle
CaryingtonTurns back to follow the debate and back again as the holocomputer notifies her of somethingJylan Trell:"You would have more experience with Sith Aleina."
Aleina Fel: Imperials, this may well be; but I doubt the Sith themselves would bother with such technological trappings. No, if anything this looks like Imperial Intelligence or, possibly; a freelancer. A rival Agency perhaps?
From the corner of the screen a fuzzy almost unidentifeiable image appears of an elderly gentkmen in uniform
Caryington pauses her diagnostic softwares to launch another soft supposed to make the image as good as possible.
The voice relay, still not entirely decoded starts to speakErrdan Caryington: "Probably as good as the image can get, sir!"
Holo-Message:....."Agents of the E.P.O.C.H I am pleased to finally make your acquiantance. We have been watching you with valued interest for sometime now""
Holo-Message: "For now you may know me simply as Operative X and I representf the Ministry of Intelligence"
Holo-Message:"It is with greatest regret that I must contact you this way but the normal channels are considered unsafe due to Republican onlookers"
The picture begins to get grainier and the voice is even more muffled
Aleina Fel looks to CaryingtonAleina Fel:How about applying some of your 'Genius' technique with the communication there, Errdan?
Caryington tries to adjust parameters and options but the data itself is corrupted and she won't be able to make it any better
Caryington smirks at the commentHolo-Message: "We request your assistance on the planet of Dromund Kaas. The Co-ordinates of our meeting have been deeply embedded into the code of this transmission."
Errdan Caryington: "As I already said it's probably as good as it can be. Now you're free to try any hand gesture!"
Jylan chuckles Holo-Message: "We do realise that you will be probably be deep into Sith Space, but we promise a handsome rewards for your troubles"
The transmission becomes almost unreadable and it fades with a final half finished sentence Errdan hears Aleina's voice in her head say 'mind your manners, youngling.'Holo-Message:"We ask that you do not spea............."
The Transmission endsAleina Fel: A journey to Dromund Kaas should be undertaken with caution.
Caryington hardly thinks of doing a hand gesture to the screen.
The Mysterious Falleensits down on his chair silently in thought'The Mysterious Falleen': Well my 'friends' what do you make of this?
Aleina Fel:There is a heavy presence of the Sith Order on that planet and while we could easily blend in, if we were discovered we would not be able to call in reinfrocements. It depends on whether you think it is worth the risk.
Errdan Caryington: "And this is as much as I can get, rest of the data is corrupted and genius or not you wouldn't heve get anymore. Now if you'll excuse I'll start looking for these coordinates."
'The Mysterious Falleen': A risk I do not have to undertake my dear
'The Mysterious Falleen':This is the very core of the Sith Empire, Jylan do you feel you could transport a team there safely?
Jylan Trell: "Would the Imperials be against the notion of killing us merely for being a neutral organisation? I can't see them having any qualms about it myself."
Caryington is glad to have something to work on and stop hearing that witch Aleina Fel: I doubt I need to remind you that this is most certainly a trap.
The Mysterious Falleen falsely pretends to care about his agents'The Mysterious Falleen': I agree with Mr. Trell as much as it pains me
Jylan Trell: "Well I'm sure we would arrive in their Space safely enough, depending on how well they know our protocols they may blast us on sight, but I could get you there"
'The Mysterious Falleen':Very well
Caryington hopes her role will stop at decyphering holotransmission, she's just not fit for an undercover mission there 'The Mysterious Falleen': I warn you though Agents, this is no ordinary meeting. This is the Ministry of Intelligence. Considered by many to be the greatest minds in the galaxy, apart from my own of course
The Mysterious Falleen smiles trying to appear like he too has a sense of humour Aleina Fel: We will abide by your decision as always, Master. Any Agents who disagree or show reservation will be eliminated.
Caryington thinks something like 'cool, I'm gonna become a human shield' 'The Mysterious Falleen': Ah Miss Fel, you certainly know how to put a smile on my face
'The Mysterious Falleen': Very well then, the deal is done. You shall report to Dromund Kaas in the next couple of days. Understood?
Caryington keeps on working on the dataJylan Trell: "Understood"
Jylan looks reluctantly at Aleina'The Mysterious Falleen': There is another matter that needs your attention
Aleina Fel: Are we to assemble a team? or are we three the only Agents going?
'The Mysterious Falleen': As i was saying miss FEL......
'The Mysterious Falleen': I have another matter that needs your attention
Aleina Fel: Yes, My Master.
'The Mysterious Falleen': It involves Agent Dekkar
'The Mysterious Falleen': Malandril informs me that he has been missing for 2 days. Normally I'd say good riddance to bad rubbish but in this case something isnt right. Not once has he not called in after a mission and his last co-ordinates suggest he was last on Nar Shadaa
Aleina Fel: I see. There have been no reports of his death? I am sure more than one Bounty Hunter would like that man's head for a trophy.
'The Mysterious Falleen':You may say what you like but he's worth a lot to me.....in....a... business sense of course.
Caryington sees something on the computer that grabs her interest and as she bends toward the screen she bagins to fiddle with the best scenarios on how not to go on Dromund Kaas.Aleina Fel: Of course.
'The Mysterious Falleen':As Jylan has so "kindly" offfered to pilt the ship to Dromand Kaas I need a team assembled to retrieve Agent Dekkar I would liek you to arrange a retrieval team
'The Mysterious Falleen': Possibly a mission for the unruly Bounty Hunters wouldn't you agree?
Aleina Fel: As much as it pains me to work with them, yes. Their....'talents' are ideally suited to the job.
'The Mysterious Falleen': You may work with whomever you wish, I'm not one to step in the way of progress. All I ask that I have two teams. One to retrieve Special Agent Dekkar and the other to visit Dromund Kaas. Thats not too much to ask is it?
Aleina Fel: It shall be done.
'The Mysterious Falleen': Goooooood.
The Mysterious Falleen rubs his hands together'The Mysterious Falleen':Any luck decoding that message Miss Caryington?
Jylan whispers to Aleina:Jylan Trell: "I'd much prefer to be going with you"
Caryington looks at the Falleen and then at his pet Witch. Thinking there's no way she could go with these info for herself only
Aleina looks to Jylan quisicallyJylan Trell: "I doubt he'd risk your life as much as he would mine....."
Errdan Caryington: "As far as I can tell that's a legit Ministry of Defense message. No doubt 'bout that! The codes to evades any Republic investigation are pretty clear 'bout that."
'The Mysterious Falleen':Continue....
Jylan Trell: "Being closer to you is I presume much safer then being further apart"
Aleina Fel: speaks softly:"do not be so sure, Trell."
Errdan Caryington: "Fact is the message is heavily encoding against... Republic Intelligence and even more heavily against Imperial Intelligence, sir!"
The Mysterious Falleen looks on in amazement at Caryington's findings'The Mysterious Falleen': But, why?
Errdan Caryington: "Would I dare to make an assumption, I'd say it's a trap and we forget it... or to be smarter we plot to have a discuss with a choosen Imperial offcier under our own condition."
'The Mysterious Falleen': What coudl the MI have against their own kind?
Caryington implies they should try to kidnap him and coerce him into speaking
'The Mysterious Falleen': Very good Caryington. I know of the very person.....
Jylan smiles at Aleina
The Mysterious Falleen grins menacingly Jylan Trell: "I do have an ability to rub off on people"
Caryington has got the 'of course, I'm very good' look all over her face.'The Mysterious Falleen': There's no need for that. I have my ways or have you not realised this yet?
Caryington lights herself another cigarette'The Mysterious Falleen':Very well. It is done. You shall arrange your teams as you see fit. Aleina with your command I assure you will bring me success. Or else, well there's no need to be unpleasant. We're all 'friends' here after all.
Errdan Caryington:"I don't think I could make out more info from that transmission. As for the security of your mainframe, I should definately look into it"
'The Mysterious Falleen':My thanks Errdan, I forsee your relationship with EPOCH going a long way.
Aleina nods to the Falleen but does not reply. If she is intimidated, she does not show it, rather it is more likely she simply understands he means what he says and that failure means death.
Caryington gives him a polite nod
The Mysterious Falleen turns his back on the Agents and slowly vanishes into the dark of Azure Towers'The Mysterious Falleen': I wish you well......'freinds'
Caryington quickly logs off the terminal and carefully delete all traces of her presence hereAleina pulls back her hood and her face is seen for the first time
Jylan sigh's slowlyJylan Trell: "Well at least its not aother rescue mission
Aleina Fel:Well then, we have our orders. I give you both leave to assemble your team for Dromund Kaas as you see fit, but check in with me before you leave.
Aleina Fel:How you handle this is up to you but remember: The Falleen is evaluating your performance in the field. Failure is not an option.
Jylan Trell: "And more then likely Failure would mean death in my case anyway, so I guess I have noting to worry about"
Caryington was definately hoping to fight on her battlefield that is the mainframe, as she's quite sure another battlefield would mean her death. Aleina Fel:That is the risk we all face, Special Agent Trell. My team will be leaving in the morning. I will contact you both then.
Caryington nods politely
Raising her hood again and turning away from the two Agents Aleina walks toward the door, stopping only to speak without turning to face them: Aleina Fel: Good Hunting.
Jylan stays silent
Caryington silently lights another cigarette while thinking she's screwed
