Fatal Deception/Story

Meila’s comlink beeped. Meila was meditating in her room in the Sith Academy on the Sith homeworld, Korriban. The beeping intensified; Meila groaned and grabbed the small device and spoke into the transmitter. “What is it, Venn?” She asked, sternly. “Overseer Kissai wants to talk to you.” Caleb Venn said. “I’ll be there.” Meila stood and headed out the room door. Outside, Meila walked down the hallway, after several minutes, she approached shielded door; she looked around and behind her, then punched in a four digit code on the panel next to the door. One-one-three-eight. She thought, as she punched it in. The shields deactivated and the door slid open, Meila quickly walked inside. Darth Kissai, Twi’lek Sith Overseer and Inquisitor was meditating facing a large stone statue of the Sith Emperor in center of the room, Caleb Venn was standing beside her facing Meila; his pale blue eyes staring directly into Meila’s gray eyes, he turned around and picked up something off the table behind him. He handed the datapad to her. “You will take a squad of Imperial soldiers and two acolytes and go to Nar Shaddaa and show that pompous slug, Arvona, he doesn’t go back on our deal. Do it quietly, we don’t need a army of hired mercenaries kicking down our door.” Kissai said, still facing the statue. “It will be done.” Meila turned and headed out the door. She made a left once outside; she pulled out her holoprojector and punched in a number, moments later a Human female and male appeared. “Jannis’, it’s been awhile. Meet me in hangar three-two-seven.” The two nodded in agreement and the miniature image faded back into the projector, and Meila placed it back in her pocket. Once she made it to the hangar, Meila called upon a squad of Imperial soldiers conversing by her shuttle. The leader of the squad, a male dark-skinned Human with black hair and dark brown eyes turned and bowed. “No need for the formalities, Sergeant Kalim. Come on, Delta Squad, line up.” Meila said. “Understood, my lord.” He said, stepping to side. The troops lined up in front of the shuttle door. Meila walked back and forth, studying them, she then stopped in front of a young Human male with fair skin and stared into his blue eyes, and he stared back, Meila then backed away and nodded to Kalim who stepped in her place. “Commandos of Delta Squad,” Kalim called out. “We are about to embark on a mission for Overseer Kissai, we will not fail, we will not retreat or surrender, and why is that I ask you?” “Because we are Sith troopers!” The squad yelled. “That’s correct, now mount up.” The members of Delta Squad all put their helmets on, grabbed their weapons and boarded the shuttle. Meila turned when she heard a two pairs of boots coming her way. Sith acolytes Shasa and Ferren Jannis made their way to the hangar and up to the shuttle. Kalim bowed and turned to board the shuttle. “We do this fast and contained, got it?” “Got it.” Ferren confirmed. “Good, now let’s go, I want to end our business with these slugs as soon as possible.” The three Sith boarded the ship, Meila sat in the pilot seat and Shasa sat in the co-pilot seat. Meila punched in a code and the hangar door opened, the shuttle left and Meila retracted the landing gear. Shasa took the controls and flew the shuttle out of the hangar and through the atmosphere. Once free of the atmosphere Meila punched in the coordinates for Nar Shaddaa and pulled a lever, moments later they were surrounded by white glimmering streams of light. Meial stood up and walked out of the cockpit, followed by Shasa. Kalim was conversing with the squad members “Deltas, acolytes, we are on a mission for Overseer Kissai, but I failed to explain exactly what we’re doing.”
