Inqusitions (Open/Seph)

[Eaon's admin account]

Ra'Kasha looked out from the bridge of the Imperial Star Destroyer he was stationed on as it pulled out of Light Speed. He'd obtained a prisoner, a valuable prisoner at that. It was soon time to deliver him into the hands of the Grand Inquisitor and that meant there was either going to be a big pay out, or a promotion. Normally when someone was in this situation, they'd be happy or at ease, but not Ra'Kasha. He was well aware now was as good a time as any for any traitors to strike, they could release a Jedi Master on The Grand Inquisitor and under mind the entire Empire.

Ra'Kasha was a man of action, and he didn't enjoy not being able to take action which is why the biggest part of his anxiety at the moment was the waiting around. An hour ago they'd pulled out of Light Speed and into the Gravity Well of Coruscant. The lights glow through the atmosphere and the entire Imperial Star Destroyer was stuck in waiting. Turns out even the Imperial Military needed clearance in order to get into the Imperial Capital these days. This made Ra'Kasha uneasy, because when he'd arrived he'd ordered two LAAT and four Tie Interceptor escorts preped for launch and of course the clones were ready to go in minutes.

Ra'Kasha closed his eyes and focused, he felt the force burning away at the ship like a fire that consumed everything. To Ra'Kasha that's all the force was, that's all life was, just a fire that consumed everything and burnt away at them till they died, then they became fuel to the fire.

"M'lord, we've just got word in from Coruscant. You're clear to land." One of the ships Admirals spoke from behind Ra'Kasha. His eyes opened up and Ra'Kasha turned around looking the Clone in the eyes before walking past him.

"Thank you for the update Admiral." Ra'Kasha said as he past the man just before exiting the room. Ra'Kasha continued to walk, and walk he did until he came to the hanger. The prisoner they'd identified as Taisho Techimaru, a Jedi Master, was already on board one of the LAAT Transports surrounded by armed men. Ra'Kasha was going to ride in the Second LAAT behind Taisho's in case somehow Taisho gained control of the ship, they could shoot him down easily. The Tie Interceptors served as back up for this, just in case somehow Ra'Kasha's men failed to do their jobs.

Ra'Kasha made his way to the hanger just in time for Taisho's ship to take off. Taisho had been kept in seclusion, but that didn't mean he wasn't dangerous. When Ra'Kasha got to his LAAT from where he was it was already ready to leave the Hanger and was floating several feet off the ground. As Ra'Kasha prepared to climb in a clone offered him a hand that Ra'Kasha accepted before they shut the doors tight for air travel and launched, quickly catching up to Taisho's LAAT. The four Interceptors cleared the ship after that and took both lead and tail having two in the front and two in the back as they made their way down to the planet.

Once they'd arrived at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Ra'Kasha disembarked first and made his way down the ramp towards the Jedi Temple. Taisho was brought up behind him, in restrainers shortly behind with multiple clones both ahead and behind him. It was a common set up, even if he did smuggle a lightsaber in, with clones both ahead and behind him he would have no way to defend them all, and he now only had to wait for The Grand Inquisitor to make his first appearance.

[Sephiroth The One Winged]

All during this time Taisho sat waiting in the Transport, his eyes where closed, he could of easily taken over this ship if he really wished but he didn't have a blade to defend him self. and he all ready new there was a ship following this one so it would all be none sense to do so. He would give up his life so easy for this trash who back stabbed all of the jedi. Once the ship lands he was forced to his feet, they had guns he would ague with guns.

He calms him self and walks out of the ship with probably around 20 clones all around him, he didn't count he just guessed he would have over 15 men on him. He was a master and all. He then sensed something, a small smirk comes over Taisho's face but then fades away in a emotionless look. He had felt this presence before, just as the Sith appeared at his home. This could be a good thing.

"oh isn't this interesting..oh indeed. Wouldn't think someone of his class would be here."

[Grahm]

The news that one of his subordinates had successfully captured a Jedi Master that had a 250,000 credit bounty upon his head had Grahm in good spirits, and he was sure that after he was finished his subordinate would be in good spirits as well, and maybe in the course of a few months this "Taisho" would see the folly of attempting to fight against the empire and he would join the inquisition, but he doubted that the master would be happy anytime soon. Soon enough, the message was sent that the Inquisitor and the Jedi Master were landing outside of the temple, and Grahm clasped the red cloak of the inquisition upon his shoulders as he walked out of his office to go meet his new guest and informant.

It was to be expected that the Jedi would sense his presence, so the comments Grahm heard emanating from under the master's breath were of no surprise. When Grahm appeared in the archway at the entrance of the temple, the clone troopers at the front of the procession snapped to attention, and wry smirk twisted its way onto his toned face. For a human in his forties, Grahm Lowtide was in excellent physical condition, with well-toned muscles and an unusually healthy skin tone for an Sith, and his hair was only just beginning to show signs of age. First, Grahm strode up to his successful subordinate inquisitor and looked him in the eyes while he conjured up the inquisitor's name from both the report and from his own memory of the inquisitor's initiation and acceptance. "I read the report, and I am pleased to say that you have performed admirably, Ra'Kasha. You have just received a pay raise, and you are well upon your way to becoming a High Inquisitor. The Empire is proud of your accomplishments." Grahm then continued along the temple path towards the hobbled Jedi Scum, and when he stopped three feet away from the man he spoke. "Taisho Techimaru, correct? I believe that we both participated in the battles of Geonosis. We were both Knights back then, it's a pity that we are now on separate sides of this conflict. It is common knowledge that I am a Master Teras Kasi artist in addition to being an excellent interrogator, so don't waste your life in an attempt to escape me, I could crush you with my bare hands if necessary. Do you have anything that you wish to tell me now before you are taken in for questioning? The more you tell me now, the less trouble you will have to endure later when we 'convince you' to tell us anyways."

[Eaon's admin account]

Ra'Kasha nodded at his master and continued off the platform back to his LAAT where his men took off. Taisho was in the hands of the Imperial Inquisition now, and they would have to handle things. Ra'Kasha was eager to get back to Space and return to his duties, though. The meager funding and the citation of ability didn't mean much.

(exit Ra'Kasha)

[Sephiroth The One Winged]

Taisho slowly looks up his eyes scaning over the man, he couldnt really remember him, ah yes ok now he did. A small smile comes over his face showing slight' emotion but it was just slight, he moves him self back a little and some what looks at the man before answering anything.

"AH yes i remember you now, the one who had bad fashion and couldn't keep up with anyone around him. Ah yes. What kind of questions would you like answered? How old i am..How tall..that kind of thing. I could answer them right now if you wished?"

Taisho some what moves back and tilts his head, he was begin cocky and he new his place but this trash gave up his place and became a disbelieving in the light side of the force this man really sicked him.

[Grahm]

Bad Fashion? Inability to keep up with the others?! Such an indignant thing to say. This Taisho is quite the rude little fuck now isn't he? Oh well, he can suffer for it later. For now, we can use him. If nothing else, he could be used as bait for any rebel resistance we wish to lure out. Grahm just continued to stare into Taisho's eyes as he finished off his little burst of taunting. "Trying to rile me up, are you Taisho? My my, such an Sith-like thing for you to do, you may have a future with us after all of this is finished. At any rate, It is time for you to answer some questions for us. Remember, the more you cooperate the less time you have to spend with us in the debriefing room. Guards, escort this man to questioning chamber three. I believe I will attend to him personally." The captain of the guard replied with a "Yes sir. Alright men, you heard the Inquisitor, blindfold the prisoner and move him to questioning room three." One guard pulled a blindfold over Taisho's eyes at this order while the rest leveled their blasters at the man, ready to shoot the Jedi on a moment's notice. If Taisho made any sudden movements or if anybody attempted to attack the group, their immediate first action would be to fire upon Taisho, who in his unarmed state would most likely die. If Taisho didn't do anything rash, he was quickly blindfolded and brought into the bowels of the temple toward the interrogation room, with Grahm leading the procession. Somewhere along the way, Grahm purposefully steered them in a different direction, leading the group into interrogation chamber five instead.

Once Taisho was sat down in the restraint chair in the interrogation chamber Grahm removed the blindfold from his eyes. The room was empty of any furniture besides the single chair that Taisho was seated and bound into to prevent any focusing movements for Force Powers, and their were four people in the room in total, being Grahm, Taisho, and two guards armed with stun-pellet pistols and blaster carbines. Grahm then started the questioning. "In case this is your first time undergoing questioning, let me tell you how this is going to work. I am going to ask you some questions, which you will answer truthfully. If you refuse to answer, or you lie to me, you will be subjected to a penalty and we will ask again. Every time you refuse to ask a question, the penalties get worse. Now let us begin; Who was your Jedi Master and what is his current status?

[Sephiroth The One Winged]

Taisho just some what chuckled and didn't fight he just listened and was on his way to where ever he was going, Once he got seated and the blind fold was removed he seen the sith infront of him, then he heard the question the man, what a silly question he some what moves back a little he couldnt move that great but none the less he could move.

"What a odd silly first starter. I thought you would ask what my title was. and what my full name, birth date, and what my home planet was. But besides that point. My Master. Was Jeska, she was only a Knight rank. and she died the same day this war started she was guned down my a droids, After that day i was made a jedi Master by the head master....And just to double check. She was a female not a he."

A smirk comes of Taisho face he wasn't acting much as a jedi as he should, damn he was told not to tap into his dark side.oh well.

[Grahm]

He was cooperating. Very good. If he kept this up, then this entire process would be quick and painless. "Very well then. Next up; Give me the names and locations of every surviving Jedi that you know of, along with the name of the Ewok tribe you were seen with on Endor." If he wouldn't answer this one, then the punishments would begin, but since he had been a good boy so far, He hoped that he would continue to act intelligently. Otherwise, things could become very ugly for Taisho. And ugly Sith aren't usually happy Sith.

(OOC: Yeah, it's short, but Q&A's usually are.)

Eaon watched from aboard his Freighter as they descended through the clouds of Coruscant. It was the first time in Three Years he'd seen the view he was seeing now, the tops of the city, the bright sunshine and the Jedi Temple. It was exactly how Eaon had remembered it, not the way it was during Order Sixty Six, only it felt of darkness. This place had been sullied when the Sith Inquisition had moved in and though they'd repaired it, they'd cursed it. Eaon had a plan to strike fear into the heart of the Empire and scare the Empress herself, Palpatine's mistakes would become known as the Jedi made a move.

The Freighter looked like a typical Cargo Freighter, it wasn't though, their crate that they'd smuggled through security had a very large weapon inside of it. It was only a matter of time, there would be an incredibly bloody, vicious battle ahead of them and chances are there would be a lot of bad losses on both sides, but it would prove a point, not even the Inquisition was invincible.

By the Time Eaon got to where he could see the Temple the fight was already starting, hordes of Rebels were charging into the temple and fighting. However it was time to scare them, from the flanks of the men on the ground two AT-RT's moved around the Rebels and started firing killing probably ten people each before Eaon lost sight of them. Then Eaon's freighter got brought around and opened fire destroying the support colomns of the Balcony on the reverse side of the Temple. Then the ship dropped the cargo off, and it opened up revealing a manned AT-TE before the Cargo ship dropped off slightly above the Tank which started moving inside the temple.

Eaon jumped out onto the AT-TE and drew his blue lightsaber knowing ten or so men came right behind him. Eaon dashed forward and quickly slashed down an Inquisitor who looked rather stunned. It was only a matter of time before the fight got going good. "You know the drill boys either they give us what we want or we kill them all!"

((Minus 20 Planetary Resistance, until we know what troops are deployed all shots will go directly towards Imperial Planetary Resistance.))

[Oege]

Oege was sprinting, now constantly using Force Seeing. He navigated his way through the busy streets with ease, dashing past everyone that was going about their normal day. He finally got to the battlefront. He saw the men charging the front gate and saw the two AT-RTs mowing down the Inquisition soldiers. Oege also watched as the cargo freighter zoomed overhead and fired down some siege shots, destroying key columns. He watched as the freighter then dropped off an AT-TE. He also saw Eaon and a few other men fly out of the Tank and go towards the temple. Oege got close enough to the battlefront and met with one of the squad leaders.

"Tell your men not to fire one the Jedi with the yellow lightsaber and giant sword, he is an ally."

Oege sprinted off before the squad leader could even respond. Oege ejected his yellow shoto going up the stairs. He was using this and leaving the large sword on his back to quickly dispose of these lowly soldiers. Oege was in his Form IV: Ataru and used his Force Speed for another boost. These soldiers saw a blur of yellow as Oege jumped from one enemy to another, severing limbs and stabbing hearts. In between soldiers Oege twirled his lightsaber in his hand from being anxious.

Oege decided it was good to not fight to far into the temple so he pauses and held his position in Form III: Soresu. He reached in his pocket quickly as he deflected a few stray blaster bolts.

"Eaon, this is Oege, we have broken through the first wave of defense on our side with minimal casualties. I am holding my current position and waiting for further orders."

[Sephiroth The One Winged]

Taisho looked up at the sith and smirked he some what turns his head to look at the walls his blue eyes some what looked sad but then got a little calmer look to them he sensed something but then he removed it from his look and turned back to look at the sith a small smirk comes over his face.

"Ah your testing me if i would become a warrior under you, that could be a option if you could trust a Jedi master. OH right the answer. The ewok clan was just called the leader of the clan who your trash of a warrior killed with lightning, that name begin Kahl, And any jedi i now of..I now of none. I was on my home planet when it happened then was transported to Endor by my parents for safe keeping and to try to live peacefully. I dont like fighting"

That was a lie but he only liked fighting for peace not war.

[Draque]

As word reached Draque's ears of an attack on the Temple he quickly amassed all the forces he could muster and went to work on a plan. "Someone get in contact with the Grand inquisitor!" Rounding up all the generals he could, he finally came up with a strategy and with approval to proceed from the Empress herself, he went to work with the troops. A large army made there way to the temple with Draque and a team of Commandos leading the way. Upon arrival they scattered. 90 Commandos quietly made there way around the Temples perimeter while the 1,200 Storm Troopers and other Commandos and Vets waited for the order to strike.

"Team Red, break off." Draque ordered through his communicator and 30 of the Commandos broke off and made their way to the East of the Temple while the rest continued ahead around the Temple. Red team waited patiently for the order to attack. Reaching the south side of the Temple team Blue broke off as well and waited patiently on the south side of the Temple. "Captain Drask, begin Phase 1!" Draque ordered the Captain in charge of the assault on the temple entrance. First trotted off two AT-ST's on both sides of the Temple with 600 Storm Troopers leading the charge in between them. The AT-ST's opened fire on the infantry before them, easily taking out 10 each while the 600 Storm Troopers fired upon the group of Rebels. Within the amassed force of troopers were 200 Clone Veterans and 40 Commandos. The 20 on the left flank opted to take out the first tank. Ten opened fire with their rocket's while the other 10 used suppressive fire to cover them. the ones on the right flank did the same.

"Sir, Phase 1 is complete!" the voice of Captain Drask sounded from Draque's communicator. He turned to his 30 Clone Commandos while pressing a button on his communicator. The other two Commando teams received green lights on their helmet's heads up display. All three teams unhooked their grappling hooks and climbed the Temple walls until they reached the top floor and broke through the windows. East, West, and South. They moved in unison. "Everyone stay sharp and move out! Sweep the corridors and move down behind to our main units on ground level!" Draque gave his last orders and started clearing corridor after corridor with his 30-man team of Commandos. Who knows what await them around the next corner?

[Astren Rosalba Chevalier III]

So much for a quiet day. It'd started out still, but with Draque's confessed information about the rebels in the temple and the permission she'd given to carry out his plan, it was guaranteed to be anything but. Atren donned her weapons, the only two she really liked- the purple light sabers, identical to one another. She hastened down the corridors, making her way to a vantage point form which she might watch what was going on.

It took but moments of the near-complete silence in the building, heeled boots breaking the stillness in rhythm as she resisted the urge to run to the temple where Draque had, no doubt, started to carry out his plans. He was an excellent strategist. She'd give him that, if nothing else. In fact, if she didn't believe that showing her hubris would bring about failure, she would have said that she was entirely confident that they could crush the rebels with half the men they had.

There it was. Down a flight of stairs and far down another corridor, she happened upon a doorway that made for decent observation. From here, she could watch what was going on, if only by leaving a great deal up to her imagination, and involve herself if she felt the need- no, the desire. She wouldn't be needed. Of that, the Empress was certain.

She tucked the two hilts of her sabers, yet to be turned on, into her sleeve and kept her hands folded in her lap as she waited with just enough of a view to see what went in and what went out from the side that was visible to her now. It would have been suspicious, she thought, for anyone to see the Empress who was seldom seen outside her quarters unless she needed to give a speech of some sort, not only watching a building intently but with weapons ready at hand. If not suspicious, it wasn't the image of herself that she wanted portrayed.

As the infantrymen entered, she barely picked up the buzzing of radios, various voices coming through and giving orders. She wondered... From this distance, if she thought practically, she could have handled these pests on her own. A price would be paid for a swift and flawless victory, sure, but she still was nearly certain that it wouldn't be too hard. Oh, but if that were the case, then there would be none of them to take prisoner. Or...? Well, in the end it wouldn't be hard to pick out their leaders.

The thoughts flew from her mind as she continued to listen and watch as the shots fired echoed just loud enough to hear from a building that, from the outside and from her position relative to it, remained unchanging.

No, a quiet day it would not be, would it?

[Grahm]

Grahm made a mental note to have the man's parents found and executed for treason, then he was about to start with the next volley of questions when He started hearing the sound of Blasters in the distance. An attack? What, do they want the prisoner?Well, we cannot have that, now can we? Grahm then received two messages on his Datapad in quick succession, the first being the Emergency Evacuation plan which he immediately discarded. Second was a burst-transmission sent by a guardsman that stated that they were, in fact, under attack by insurgents. Grahm cleared the message and looked at Taisho, and after a moment's contemplation he came to a decision. "Taisho, I am sorry that it has come to this, but it seems that our temple is under attack, possibly in an attempt to save you. That cannot happen, so I will be holding you hostage under pain of death from this point onward. I will be sending a message to there upstarts in just a moment, and if they do not stop their attack and leave immediately, You shall be executed so that you cannot be put into the hands of our enemies." With that, Grahm deftly pressed five buttons on his datapad to send out the prepared message over the Announcement system surrounding the temple.

In the temple proper, subroutines were initiated that received the signal that Grahm had sent out and set to work with the announcement. As the battle raged both outside and inside the temple, the speakers crackled to life, and Grahm's emergency Pre-recorded message was sent through the air. "Soldiers of the Empire, Hold fast against the aggressors, you must fight with all fo the conviction and fury you can muster if we are to have any chance today. To the aggressive men and women beating down our door, Know that we will not permit you to leave this temple with anything but your ticket to the afterlife, and we ask you to lay down your arms now before we are forced to protect our interests in the most efficient method possible. If you do not cease fighting at once, We will immediately execute every prisoner in this temple so that they will not fall into your hands. If you see your folly and wish to leave, simply flee and you will not be pursued. If not, then prepare yourselves for the afterlife."

Back in the Questioning room, The soldiers had long since leveled their blasters upon Taisho, ready to shoot him at a moment's notice. Grahm had no choice but to make sure that Taisho didn't get into the hands of the insurgents, so his course was set. He looked back at the man, walked over to him and in one swift movement Grahm punched Taisho in the head with the entirety of his considerable might in order to dull his senses and reduce his concentration to nothing. There was no choice for him to make anymore, wither the rebels would continue to advance and Taisho would die, or they would retreat and He would live to see another day. Either way, He knew what had to be done next. Now it was simply a matter of waiting for the ultimatum to be answered.

[Eaon's admin account]

"Driver give our boys some support ya?" Eaon said into his comm link. In a second the turret that he found himself sitting on turned to the right and looked down firing a single shot killing ten commandos who were attempting to damage his walkers. Eaon really liked those and Eaon hated it when people messed with things he really liked. Eaon was definitely focused, he was thinking rather carefully about what to do, the enemy had taken the bait, but would they continue to do so.

Eaon focused and again submerged himself deep in the ocean of the force feeling all threads of the Force. It wasn't hard to locate Taisho from his distance, he was only a few doors down. With him was a powerful aura, probably one of the higher ranking Inquisitors.

"Driver, fire at our Six now, then prepare our frontal Anti-personal weapons and at the third door up ahead turn the heavy canon to our ten." Eaon instructed feeling the Commandos approaching from his sides, this was almost too easy. Without a suitable opponent Eaon could just sit back and read every move as the enemy made it.

Another loud blast and the walls of the temple sealed off the eastern entrance that would have given the Commandos a shot at the rear of the AT-TE. In front of the AT-TE under the Anti-Personal lasers thirty Freedom Fighters walked blasters ready for anything that would lay ahead of them. Eaon focused on the force again, like a current in an ocean leading from his mind to Oege's. "Oege, we'll have Taisho in the next few seconds, pepare an exit strategy."

Eaon then broke off contact with Oege and focused again on a current towards Taisho, making sure to bend around Grahm to keep him from listening in. This Inquisitor was about to have a very humiliating day, however something was off, a feeling of darkness unlike any others shrouded the battlefield, watching it constantly. It was as if a great evil had cast its eyes upon the battlefield waiting to see how evil fought when on the defensive.

"Taisho, in five seconds use Force Repulse, we'll storm the room and take a captive, if not we'll kill the Inquisitor." Eaon said before cutting off the contacts. Eaon had known who the prisoner was, he was a Jedi Master who'd fought during the clone wars, Eaon would recognize his aura any where. Even when he arrived Eaon had noticed it and now it was time to set him free.

"Alright men listen up. In six seconds we're going to storm that room, and in fifteen our buddy here is gonna do his job and make us an exit. Fifteen of you stay behind and guard the Tank, the rest we'll join in with the forces on the ground until we can get out of here." Eaon commanded reaching into his jacket and pulling out his purple lightsaber. Eaon would be giving the blue one to Taisho soon and that would even the odds up quickly, before they even had a chance to figure out what was happening it would be over, a clean win for the Rebellion.
