The bounty hunter pauses mid sentence as he rounds the chair. Dian's lifeless eyes stare up at him, a lightsaber gash across his chest. He slides off the chair and falls to the floor with a thud. At that moment a figure seems to materialise out of the air behind them, slashing at Sora with a force pike. The figure wears tight fitting black robes, with a mask and hood. Another figure materialises beside the cloaked figure, slashing at him also.

Bane quickly raises his blaster rifle, firing at the cloaked figure's attacker. The attacker dodges beneath the shot, albeit narrowly.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 9 points of vitality damage to Dark Side Assassin.

Sora, unarmed as he is, quickly leaps over one of the terminals to avoid his attacker. The cloaked figure, meanwhile, fires at his attacker. His shot is timed perfectly, just as his attacker's arms are raised to swipe at him, and the shot strikes the attacker squarely in the chest. With a gasp he collapsed back against one of the terminals, dead.

OOC: Zirak Derasir has dealt 15 points of wound damage to Dark Side Assassin.

The remaining attacker has swiftly turned to face the cloaked figure, who he clearly views as the most dangerous threat. He swings, but the cloaked figure is able to duck beneath the blow, which passes centimeters above his head.

OOC: Dark Side Assassin dealt 10 points of vitality damage to Zirak Derasir.

A blast from Bane grazes the attacker's arm, singing his jumpsuit.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 9 points of vitality damage to Dark Side Assassin.
Bane Malar dealt 9 points of wound damage to Dark Side Assassin.

Drawing instinctively on the Force, the cloaked figure reaches out, hurling the attacker back into a computer terminal beside Bane.

OOC: Zirak Derasir used Force Strike on Dark Side Assassin.
Zirak Derasir dealt 5 points of wound damage to Dark Side Assassin.

The attacker rolls up, scratched and bleeding, and slams his weapon at Bane's legs. The bounty hunter leaps just in time, scrambling away from the attacker.

OOC: Dark Side Assassin dealt 16 points of vitality damage to Bane Malar.

Even as the attacker leaps up, rising above the bounty hunter, Bane fires striking the attacker who lands, unconscious, sprawled across the bounty hunter.

"This assassin needs to lay off a few kilograms," Bane's muffled voice comes from beneath the attacker as he heaves the body off.

OOC: Bane Malar dealt 14 points of wound damage to Dark Side Assassin.

The cloaked figure wastes no time in searching the two bodies of the assassins, withdrawing two medpacs, a comlink, a grappling hook, a glowrod and a hold out blaster.

"And where were you in that skirmish, my metallic friend?" he directs at R5.

"Beepity-beep-boop-beep-boop-beep," R5 replies smugly.

"He was apparently just making sure that Dian Vevor was 'all' dead," Bane translates, glancing down at the body of the former mining administrator. His corpse contains several fresh blaster marks, in addition to the earlier gash.

Searching Dian's corpse results in the discovery of another comlink, a credit chip with two thousand credits, and the turbolift access codes to the Commercial District.

At that moment a female voice comes across one of the assassin's comlinks.

"I'm almost at the control room, do you still have their location pinpointed?"

The cloaked figure exchanges a look with Bane.

"Run!"

"Sarin, do you copy?" comes the female voice once more. There is brief silence in which party hurry out of the control room and in the direction of the central turbolift. Then the voice curses in Zabraki.

Bane and the cloaked figure tear down the corridor, Sora limping behind, and R5 bringing up the rear. They turn one final corner and the turbolift comes into view at the far end. They are halfway along the corridor when they hear the sound of rapid footsteps approaching, and moment later a dark blur speeds into view behind them.

Bane fires a shot at the blur, which is easily avoided.

But suddenly the blur comes to an abrupt halt. The blur is revealed to be a female zabrak dressed in a dark cloak. Her skin is white and her eyes are yellow. And at present, those eyes stare with interest at the cloaked figure.

"Zirak?" she says softly, "Zirak Derasir, is that you?"

The cloaked figure, or Zirak as he appears to be, also halts, glancing back with interest.

"...You know me?"

"You don't know me?" the zabrak asks, smiling cruelly.

Zirak simply looks at her blankly.

The zabrak's smile widens, as she reaches into her cloak, withdraws and ignites two red lightsabers. She begins to advance once more.

"So, you truly remember nothing? Well, I assume you no longer remember how to defend yourself either."

R5, who has also halted, a few meters away from the turbolift, begins to unleash a fire extinguisher it pinched while in the control room, sending a mist down the corridor.

"Come on!" calls Bane, who has finished typing in the access codes, stepping into the now open turbolift.

Zirak sprints after them. Sora staggers after Bane, R5 rolls in a second later, and Zirak dives headlong just as the door closes. Bane hits the button for the Commercial District, and the turbolift ascends. The party think they detect a scream of rage echoing up from below as they go.

OOC: Bane Malar has advanced to level 5.
Sora Bulq has advanced to level 5.
Zirak Derasir has advanced to level 5.
