27 Sold. (2/2)
Sabine putting down the glass, agreed, as Ahsoka nodded and turned towards the leaving the exit of the auction house, making their way out and towards the starport. They moved together as a unit, keeping their eyes out incase there were any more traps set for them.
The fact that Dark Jedi were able to make it planetside, let alone sneak up on them like this, meant that there were people who could bypass planetary security. Then again despite there now being more Royal Security Forces, they were still far from an actual military. All they could do was maintain the peace as long as there wasn't a greater force fighting them.
...
The Corvus launched from the Starport once they got on board. Iden and the rest of Inferno Squad were waiting on the bridge for their leader to arrive.
Coming up the lift, Ahsoka and Sabine stood on either side of the Grand Moff who had his hands clasped together in front of himself. His eyes were closed as he was imagining the elevator music which plagued the elevators on Earth.
Maybe he should add some? Maybe he should create some? A devious thought emanated from his head, which was immediately picked up by Ahsoka.
When the thought crossed her own mind, she raised a brow at him. He wanted to psychologically torture people with elevator waiting music? While that would be amusing and even entertaining for some people, a warship is not the place for that kind of music.
Unless he wanted to destroy other ships to classical music? She couldn't really argue with that as it was psychologically soothing music. It would help people relax, but it would still cause people to raise some brows.
However it was rather normal for Tobias, as when he played video games in his old world, he often listened to classical music as he massacred enemies and NPCs.
...
Entering the Bridge the trio walked onto the command strip. The Grand Moff's eyes immediately trailing over towards the woman who was on her knees, seated in front of the front viewport. her back facing the window as she remained with her helmet's faceplate pulled down.
”I see the Inquisitor's have a good time,” Tobias snickered, both Iden and Del smirking a bit. ”All the cargo will be in the main hangar of the Guardian. We'll be landing next to the transport.” He informed the pilot before turning his attention back to Inferno Squad.
Kraytia was in one of the control pits of the vessel, rested up against a wall with her eyes closed. Her head was bobbing slightly, she was listening to music again. Though this time it looked like she was sleeping.
”Hm..” Tobias gave her a gander before turning towards Sabine and tilted his head to the side slightly. ”Do you think you could get the Mandalorian Sector to join the Imperium? All groups within the Imperium granted Self-Rule as long as they follow our laws.” He asked this question due to the fact that the Mandalore was someone Sabine had chosen. Even though it was quite clear that he believed she would have made a better and longer lived Mandalore, he figured she had a pull on Kryze.
Sabine shrugged, ”Very unlikely. The fact that the Empire mistreated our people so severely, will make it hard to do. They're probably more inclined to be neutral.”
”Like Belgium... It's why they were so screwed over to begin with.” He commented on how they had been neutral during the Clone wars. If they had joined the Republic, then they would've had additional support. Death Watch wouldn't have been able to do what it had done. In addition to that, they'd have more security against separatist plots and Darth Maul's syndicate.
”Belgium?” Sabine asked with a light sneer and scoff, she had no idea what he was talking about.
”A nation state which remained 'neutral' during a World War. Due to their strategic location however, another nation carved a destructive line through their cities to get to the other side.”
Sabine slowly nodded in understanding as she was recalling the history during the Clone Wars, of her people. They had chosen to not take a side in the war, and yet they were brought into civil war with the efforts of the Separatists, Death Watch and in the end Darth Maul.
”They will have to choose a side, a larger banner. A single protectorate isn't enough to keep a planet safe against a massive invasion force.” He added into the argument that he tried to sell to her, and at the same time comparing Naboo and the Trade Federation.
”No kidding...” She muttered to herself as she thought about the last remaining protector she had encountered prior to the Liberation of Lothal. ”So are we going to visit the Mandalorian System, or are you sending me off on a chore?” Sabine laughed a bit, she didn't mind going to Mandalorian Space. She'd be able to visit family, and talk with Bo-Katan Kryze, the Mandalore.
