Chereads / Star Wars : Last Order / Chapter 14 - To Mandalore

Chapter 14 - To Mandalore

At another planet in the outer rim on a ship Kyle kneels and hands the holocron to Victor and then what Victor expected to happen really happen.

[ Holocron obtained ]

[ Holocrons are wonders of this universe containing extraordinary knowledge, get 4 Holocrons and you will obtain 1 resource point ]

'What are resource points?'

[ Resource points are used for many of different things mainly the upgrade of the system ]

[ Here are the cost host ]

[ Weapons ] - 8

[ Stealth ] - brought

[ Quantum network ] - Locked

[ Research ] - 10

[ Random ] - 1

[ Experimental ] - Locked

[ Unknown ] - Locked

'Why don't the locked ones have a cost' he asked

[ You must figure out how to unlock them your self host. ]

'Fine'

But this did confirm one of Victor's theory about how this systems missions are generated and he has a theory on how to get quantum network but it will be hard as it might have something to do with the unknown region. Victor thinks he should bump up the unknown regions on his priority list.

'But I also need to focus on getting those resource points hmmm'

Back on the planet in the outer rim

In a cave rocks are rubbling and seen being moved until.

Boom

Centam Jakar POV

Rocks go flying everywhere and Centam Jakar can be seen coming out of the rubble he looks around and for his light saber but doesn't find it. 'Damn I wonder if it was destroyed under the rubble or that person took it.' He thinks to him self

Centam Jakar looks some more but doesn't find any trace of it or it's pieces.

'What a strong force welder he is, who is he' he thinks to him self

As he exits the cave he sees the unconscious locals and starts to wake them up, when this is done they go search for his padwan.

Finding her last known location he sees a battle happened here and scorch marks, he tries to hail her on the comm channel but nothing came through.

He asked the locals to help out in finding her a few minutes later they found the tracks leading to the forest as they head threw the forest the locals tell him that there's only one set of tracks, a few minutes later they find her on the ground unconscious, Centam Jakar looks around and find more battle marks and still confused about the enemy she faced to do this to her.

As they wake her up Centam Jakar also comes over and asked what happened, did she meet the one he faced and then went on to say how Victor looked as best he could as his foe was wearing a hood

She shakes her head and tells about the mysterious enemy she faced and his wired abilities witch shocked her and his weapons.

Centam Jakar found this strange also, they finished patching her up and leave the planet.

Normal POV

'I have to collect more Holocrons, really I should have waited until the war but I wanted to test out my theory first.' Victor thinks to himself

'I have to lay low for a while'

"We will begin again hunting Holocrons when the war starts but this task will mainly be yours to handle, I don't want you to die so I'll get some more standard troopers probably to help you retrieve them, that reminds me i need to change out my troops will look from the clones."

"Hmm plans need to be altered again." Said Victor

"We will try to plan this out a year before the start of the war, chaos is essential when doing this even if it's controlled chaos" said Victor while squinting his eyes out the window of the ship.

"We will be an unpredictable factor, and I'll see if it's beneficial to carve a spot in this galaxy for my empire during the war or not, as there are Pros and Cons to doing so, hmmmm." Said Victor as he thinks out loud

Victor looks at Kyle and sees the battle scar on the helmet "tell me about the injury to your eye." He asked

Kyle went on to tell him about the fight when done there was some silence.

"Be careful next time, I'm not going to tell you anymore advice for now but I do hope you learn from your mistakes.

"I'm going in seclusion" said Victor as he walk away

"Yes sir I'll be sure no one disturbs you." Replied Kyle

"Continue your training of the troops, i expect them to help in the retrieval of the Holocrons." Said Victor in the distant

A month later

On a transport to Mandalore

Maree Brimarch and a few Officials are with her as a security team for her, before leaving for Mandalore she use HT (high table) coins to learn information about the place since she grew up on tatooine she knew nothing.

One of the benefits Managers gets are Dynasty Coins witch can be used to hire Officials from Hydra's High Table.

It's not unlimited coins but 1 every 6 cycles and they also get a limited amount of HT coins, they can be used in a variety of different ranges from cargo transport to hired assassins, information and so on but the catch is that it's only hired external members only the Dynasty coins can be used to hire Internal members witch are brought by the system and trained to experienced.

They are to complete the mission and then leave and do nothing outside the main mission assignment.

There are ways to get more Dynasty coins but the exchange is for items and resources that most don't want to give up, and most things require just one but some may require more than one depending on the requester mission or information . This is another form to make managers compete with each other, because at the end of every 6th cycle the top managers get a special prize

Maree Brimarch used her Dynasty coin one because it's her first time out and second she left her trusted aids to do other missions to accumulate HT coins also as they can be sent on missions assigned to her by the High Table or side objectives, it should be noted that there are rules at Hydra.

One of them is, No action can be taken on The Continental Hotel grounds or consequences will be handed out.

So she is safe when in the hotel but outside it's free game for her to be killed and replaced. Third is she read how battle harden some people are on Mandalore but that place she is visiting is the main planet witch is quite peaceful but if she can't get the mission item she will talk with….. others that don't view the new ruler way, and those individuals are more war like.

The Officials Leader is quite tall 6.5 feet wearing the same armor as the rest of the team but he has a arm cape that goes just down to his waist.

"Are we almost there Ghost?" Maree Brimarch asked

Ghost is the leaders name "Yes we are, you are scheduled to meet her the next day so you can site see when we arrive." He said

"That's good but I would like to get this done sooner than later." She replied

She then looks at him and asked "are all team leaders as tall as you."

Ghost looks at her then says "No, this is a special case."

"What do you mean? Like babysit" she said with a voice raised

"No, I'm here to evaluate you on this mission and you may receive more like it depending on how well you do, and get special missions also rewards. " Ghost said

"Oh ok," she said

They land and get out of the ship, then head to a transport waiting for them and head to where they will be staying.

As they visit the city and look at the scenery they find it's quite beautiful in its own way. Once settled in they go out to find the men still waiting there one of them says "The queen would like to meet you if your ready."

"Oh yes we are ready." She says as she looks at Ghost wondering to her self if this was the right decision

Once in the palace and then in the throne room they see the beautiful Satine Kryze and some of her council members.

The meeting begin and discussion of trade and resources unique from far away worlds. The talks are mostly about food and bounty hunting or security transport, mainly for the ones who don't want to stop fighting and looking for hire.

After the meeting is over Maree Brimarch requested a private meeting with Satine Kryze witch was granted, Maree Brimarch's security team of 15 only one was left, Ghost, the rest waited outside.

In the throne room was the Dutches and her guards as well as Maree Brimarch and Ghost.

"What would you like to talk about" asked Satine

Maree Brimarch is silent for a while trying to find her words "Hydra would like to trade for one specific item that you have in your care."

Intrigued with raised eye brows Satine asked "what might that be"

"The mobile prison you hold." Maree Brimarch replied

"Oh, I can't believe people still remember that old thing." She said with narrowed eyes and serious face "And what do you want to trade with it."

"A Dynasty coin, you can request the Officials of hydra anything except joining wars for you, and depending on how big the request is it may require more than one coin, but most require just one but the benefit you are getting out of using the coin is the level of professionalism to do the job with out being brought off unless that person has more than one Dynasty coin, witch mind you they do not give this out often only when they deem it's worthy." Maree Brimarch says

With one raised eye brow Satine asked "I can even request my planet to be brought back from a desert one to habitable?"

Maree Brimarch looks at Ghost, Ghost nods and Maree Brimarch looks back at Satine and says "yes it can, but it may require more than one since it's a world."

Satine noticed when Maree Brimarch looked at Ghost and then at her, Satine looks at both of them then compares them and find the tall guy to have a different looking symbol than her and remembered Maree Brimarch talking about hydra Officials and interpreting the meaning that she guessed that Maree Brimarch is not an official and maybe this tall guy is, but then the question is why isn't he talking instead of her, Satine thinks she knows why but won't dwell on it.

Satine raise her hand to rub her chin and thinks to herself for a while then says "I'm sorry we can not give it away, it is part of Mandalorians."

"I understand but isn't the part that was at war with a lot of people in the universe, now you are peaceful and can gain benefit from it being traded off." Maree Brimarch replied

Satine frowns a little then eases up and shakes her head while saying "I know but we can't give it up."

"I understand, that's all we came here for we will take our leave, the officials would like you to keep this out of there good will, maybe one day you will need it." Maree Brimarch shows a friendly smile and says while leaving the Dynasty coin to Satine and leaving the room

Satine looks at the coin and find it's made out of a material she has not seen before and finds it interesting, she also noticed on one side of the coin there is a symbol the same as the tall guys symbol witch also confirms her theory that he's an official.

As Maree Brimarch and her team leaves Mandalor they take a detour to one of its moons to meet another figure called Pre Vizsla.
