"Nothing's changed." Slick mumbled as he strode into his office.

  The squad leader of Wraith had been gone for month's.  Most of the Empire didn't know that he had been tracking down his former wife.  The Empire had nearly counted him absent without proper leave, but he didn't care.  He almost wished now that they would have.  The trip was a waste, and nearly ended in his own death.  He took a deep breath, and pushed open the door to his office.

  Striding into the room in his garrison uniform, he surveyed his surroundings.  His weapons were in the same place he had always left them... the DL-54 was sitting on his desk, and the E-11/L was mounted on the wall.  Seeing a strange shape in his chair, the special operations squad leader reached behind his belt for his vibro-bayonet.  Slowly the chair turned around.

Slick slowly relaxed his grip. "Why Colonel Rizzit... to what do I owe the pleasure?"

Rizzit clasped his hands in front of him. "Your troops have gotten lazy since you left without a word.  I thought you might like a mission.... Sergeant."

Remembering his protocol, Slick snapped to attention. "That would be appreciated sir."

"Good." said the colonel. "Here's what I have for you."

Sergeant Slick
-=Wraith Squad=--=SL=-
SL/SGT Slick/4SQD/1PLT/1COM/1RGT/1BAT/VEA/VE/Tadath[LoR][CoR][CoH]

Slick strode down the hall briskly, cursing slightly under his breath as he looked for hiding Wraiths, he wasn't finding any, all he knew was that there were no where near enough of them in the briefing room. Unfortunately he had also searched most of the grounds, and found exactly none of them. With his own disappearance and the earlier flight of his ASL the entire squad had unofficially dispersed. This was not pleasing. However, weather he was pleased or not (and he wasn't) there were still *some* members waiting in the briefing room, he knew he had better get back there soon if he was to salvage anyone.

The squad leader stood in front of the briefing room door and regained his composure, then he hit the button, the door slid up, and. . .

". . .and then they made me their chief. . ."

Slicks jaw dropped, he recognized the voice first then the man, although Snipes had definitely grown much more eccentric. He still wore a billowing white shirt, but the flight jacket that had usually kept it in check had vanished, his hair now held more odd ornaments and strange symbols than ever before, although most of the rule-breakingly long hair was tied into a pony tail with a piece of cloth. Around his waist was a red sash, something that had never been there before, on his right leg was the old shotgun he always used, the belt seemed to be somewhere under the sash, on the other side a cutlass was thrust under the sash, it was simple, and well worn, Slick wondered at the concept of Snipes actually using one. Snipes nice blue pants were faded now, something a person wouldn't have seen very often before, and on his feet, which were crossed on the briefing room table, were a worn pair of black military boots, the standard issue kind with no laces or much tread, Snipes boots didn't seem to have any of the latter.

Of course as Slick was standing there looking stunned Snipes bolted out of his chair and gripped Slick in some bear hug of untimely death before inquiring adamantly as to how he had been, where he had been, where he was going, how he was getting there and why he was going there in the first place. Slick sighed, it was nice to have the sneaky bastard back.

Hard work has a future payoff, laziness pays off now.

Snipes drew a disk out of one of his pockets and tossed it at Slick.

"Whatever you had planned, I have one better" Snipes said with a smirk, "You don't think I was gone for months for nothing do you?"

Slick pushed the disk into the table, a projection flashed up, masterfully manipulating the image, Slick examined the blueprints while surveying his friends face threw the projection. He was smiling, but he was usually doing that, as an expert Snipes observer Slick determined Snipes was insanely proud of himself.

"You know you're crazy, right?"

"Crazy RAIDER for life."

Slick sighed, it was no good, the plan was insanely clever, but also insanely difficult.

"I don't think our squad is experienced enough for this, nope, no way, this is crazy."

"I'll fly, we'll take the Pride, it's small enough and quick enough."

"You have to tell the squad"

"Deal"

Slick groaned, "We're going to be in so much trouble."

*  *  *

Snipes looked around at the squad, his smile broadened. Such a band of buccaneers had never been seen before, and would never be seen again.

"Well, while I was out carousing I happened upon a nifty tale. It goes something like so:
There was once a Pirate in the outer rim called Bloody Gale Baxter. Chances are you've heard tales about his brutality, his crew and, of course, his wealth, now Bloody Gale navigated the stars for thirty years before he was finally caught by a Jedi and tied to the front of his own ship, pretty thoroughly killing him," they chuckled, "now legend says that then the Jedi tried to find Baxter's treasure to 'redistribute' it." Another chuckle," Now this Jedi was never heard from again, ever. He disappeared, since then many, many, many treasure hunters and adventurers have hunted for his treasure and disappeared and many con men have sold many phony maps; kind  of like the Katana fleet, it exists anymore only as legend.

" Well, no more, I've found it, his hide away, stashed in an asteroid field near the unknown region, the odd gravity anomalies around that area make detecting it with instruments almost impossible and the pilot must be exceptionally skilled to navigate between both the asteroids and the gravitational fluctuations. I believe I can do this, however once inside I don't know what kind of terrors we'll come upon, pack heavy and meet up in the Bachelors Pride, incase you forgot that's the YT-2400, not the citadel, which I've had to change the registration for once again. "

[OOC:  The music that D'har is listening to is real, 'Tis some good stuff.  http://www.emi.se/artists/theark/oouigdy/index.htm]

After getting his weapons and other equipment together, D'har Leth finally left the room, C3POD in hand.  Though his choice of music was extremely odd sounding.  He had it wired to the comlink on his wrist, causing it to play out loud.  The particular song was apparently called "One of Us is Gonna Die Young."  It was quite catchy, despite sounding a lot like outdated music of yesteryear.

And so the trooper ventured off to "The Bachelor's Pride."  The YT-2400 that belonged to their adventurous, albeit quixotic Assistant Squad Leader.  The ship temporarily served as Wraith Squad's transport.  Upon arriving at the 'Bachelor,' D'har found no one there, save several teenagers dressed in the popular clothing of today's youth.  Based on their normalcy, D'har snuck up behind them and jumped out.  His tall, pale, emaciated form scared the half to death.  He realized that they were frozen with fear, so he snapped them out of it by firing a few shots at the ground near their feet.

He decided to wait for the rest of the squad to show up, so he turned his comlink to full volume, then the C3POD to full volume and had a seat.

    Yoder looks around his room,picks out his katarn armor,shadow suit,tracking device,two fragmentation gernades,DC-15,DC-17,two flashbangs,one EMP gernade,enforcer heavy slugthrower,FC-1 fletchette launcher,hieb &stiech knife, and a 3-mal personal comlink.
    After gettting this altogether Yoder walks down to the ship 'The Bachelor's Pride' seeing that Arnaut and D'har were already there he just stood next to the ship waiting and watching patiently, as if something would happen,but it never came whatever it was.
    The squad arived little by little minutes after each other, all having differnt gear usually.They talked among themselves quietly.
    After awhile D'har woke Arnaut up.Yoder thinking to himself, said quietly to himself," Finnally were going on another mission."

Slick did not look too enthusiastic about the mission, as Arnaut could plainly see, but nevertheless he walked to the center of the room and procured his holopad. A large display  of an asteroid field popped out and shimmered blue in the dark interior of the ship. The ship's occupants watched eagerly as small, blue asteroids gently rolled in front and around them.

"This is our target asteroid field," Slick began. "This is only a simple hologram of what scientists believe the asteroid field to look like. Since not many ships have ever gone in and come out in one piece, the imperial scientists have only incomplete maps of the interior of the field. Snipes managed to make us this map, and the relative location of where the treasure is located."

Toward the center of the field, at least fifteen asteroids that were floating around in a lazy circle lit up red.

"These are the interior-most asteroids, and the ones likely to hold the treasure we're looking for. Like Snipes already said, we don't know what we're going to face in here, so we must be prepared. Snipes is confident he can take us through the asteroids to get to the center of the field where the treasure is located. So, if the mission works perfectly as planned we will go in grab the treasure and come out."

The map of the field zoomed out until it was no more than a blue dot residing at the edge of the a map of the galaxy.

"The field is located near the northern edge of the universe...near the unknown regions. We must be wary at all times. Remember, no one who has gone searching has come back, so this is a great risk. We're jumping into hyperspace now. We have four hours until we reach the asteroids. Catch some sleep, it might be the last you get in days."

Slick shut down the holopad and strolled out of the room, leaving in his wake a nervous silence. Slowly, one by one, the members of the squad stood up and made for their rooms.

"Take care of your equipment, and your equipment will take care of you"

While sitting against a wall after being thrown against a duracrete wall, or atleast what felt like it Jin thought of mainly revenge. After a long while he started thinking about how much to hurt D'har, while fingering blackness where his snow white fur used to be.

  Standing up slowly to bring his equilibrium back to normal he crashed through the door to his former room. Looking at the three men resting quite comfortably he wondered if they knew angering a Bothan was not a great idea.

Tilting his head to the side as he contemplated just how much pain to inflict, he walked calmly to a locked locker and quickly opened it. Pulling out what looked to be a DC-15, though heavily modified, he slung it on his back. Then pulled out a  E-11, DT-57 and there corrisponding holsters he placed both in a bag then grabbed the last item in his locker a small box, no markings were on it but it did make him grin just alittle bit. Closing the locker he walked to the door then turned around and pulled out the E-11, set it for stun and looked at the three men in turn, grinned and pulled the trigger.


Now, shooting a squad mate is normally frowned upon, and while it would of brought revenge, shooting the holotransceiver worked just as well. Inflicting that much energy in a electronic device should of shorted it out, though somehow this one began playing. Grinning to himself as six words played over and over again he made his way out. Shutting the door to his new room he heard three grown men scream in pure terror. The words "I love you, you love me." playing over and over.

After briefing Yoder went to his bunk and organized all his weapons and explosives,
Then laid down on the bed and went to sleep.
     
    He dreamed about himself on a small freighter laid under siege by a couple of Coreillian frigates, then it centered on him.
Yoder was running to the entry way to help block the attack of the enemy, suddenly.
There was large explosion, and he blacked out. After what seemed hours he got up and saw around him all his allies' dead, except him but he saw many rebels dead too but his allies' were not stormtroopers but some backwater planet militia. So he got up and gathered what he could and set off to find out what happened.

    After awhile of searching he found a couple of the militia still alive he talked with them briefly and they told him that his enemy left and he and them were stuck in space nowhere to go with everything but life-support and the basics to live, offline they went to the cockpit and saw outside the window a small fleet of ships, not rebel, nor imperial, but something different the people around Yoder sent a missile out and it hit one of the warships and after a few minutes they sent some weird looking fighters and bombers out and started to bomb and destroy the frigate. After that Yoder woke up and didn't know what happened next.

    So he started to walk around the halls, patrolling with a DC-15 in his hands he started walking down the halls staying with the shadows in no armor.

Kanderin was tired. He had only arrived back at the army Barracks this morning and the original plan was for him to stay at barracks and brush up on his training until the Wraith's return, but Rizzit had radioed up to Slick that Kanderin was coming on board.He'd just caught the ship before it left the port, and from then had been waiting in Slick's room for him to show up and brief him.

Slicks voice suddenly shook Kanderin out of his daydream.
"So got everything?"
"Yeah more or less, the mission, the new members of Wraith, where I'm staying on the ship, anything else?"
Slick chuckled.
"Thats all Kanderin, now head off to your bunk and get some sleep"

Kanderin lifted his bag from the chair it had been lying on, and slouched over to the door.
"Oh and one more thing" Kanderin turned round to face Slick again.
"Glad to have you back" Slick smiled.
"I'm glad to be back sir" Grinned Kanderin back, before disappearing down the hallway.

Kanderin paused for a second to collect his thoughts. He knew he would be bunking in with Striker and Jin, but he couldn't resist the temptation of re-introducing himself to the others. Then again, it was pretty late, would he be rudely awakening his squad's beauty sleep? He played over both sides of this story in his head, a kind of pros/cons list, before somebody made his mind up for him.

About ten feet ahead of him, Yoder had just wandered out of the bunk, and headed the opposite way down the hallway to where Kanderin was watching. He noticed he was clutching his rifle, even though he seemed to have left his storm trooper Armour behind. So was he on guard duty? If he was, he'd forgotten the basic rule: Always look down both sides of a hallway. Although it was a reasonable error to make, considering it was on a spaceship in hyperspace, it would be very uncommon to find a rogue visitor on board. But still, Kanderin was going to remind Yoder why you should always stay on your toes.

Walking on the tips of his feet, he slowly advanced towards Yoder. At the same time reaching silently to his belt for his brand new Blaster Pistol. Once used by General Greivous, it was a weapon to be feared. A group of men with rifles would tremble in fear at the sight of one man holding this. Then again, he wasn't planning on firing it. Quick as a cheetah, Kanderin pounced up from his crouched position and grabbed Yoder around the neck with his left arm. He then pointed the pistol to his neck with the other arm, and momentarily paused.

Its funny how long a few seconds of silence seems to be, especially with company. After what seemed like an age, Kanderin laughed and lifted the pistol from his neck, instead smacking the handle of Yoders head. Kanderin released his grip and Yoder leaped forward, spinning around with rifle ready to engage his attacker.

"Woah there man, only a bit of fun" Kanderin smiled
Yoder's mouth dropped wide open at his eyes meeting Kanderin once again. He seemed a lot older than when he had left. Although it was only six months ago, Kanderin seemed to age years.

"Kanderin? But how...Why....What?" Yoder babbled.
"Calm down and speak to me properly"
Yoder took a deep breath.
"How did you get on board? I didn't see you in the lounge and we've been in hyperspace for the last hour or so"
"I've been here all along man, waiting in Slicks room. Didn't he tell you?"
Yoder tripped over his words in response, then paused for a second looking at the ground. He then looked back up and spoke.
"You've got to come and say hi to the rest of the guys!"
Kanderin turned away from Yoder and walked back down the hallway.
"Im too tired, ill do it in the morning"
Kanderin marched about five paces before spinning on his heels and grinning.
"Just kidding, lead the way"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnaut was still awake. He kept falling asleep, only to be awoken by his dreams only seconds later. He groaned and reached up for his alarm. Only half an hour had passed. Still, one good thing had arisen from his awakening. He noticed D'har sat up in his bed, his rifle pointed at the doorway.

"Whats wrong D'Har?" Arnaut mumbled, the kind of speech you use when your drunk.
"Theres talking going on out there, and what sounded like a bit of a scuffle earlier. I think its the rookies tyring to get their room back again."
Just as D'Har finsihed that last syllable, the door sprung open and Yoder walked in, followed by a familiar face.
D'Har was the first one to recognise it and leap out of the bed towards him, closely followed by Arnaut.
After airing their welcomes, D'Har was the first oen to air the quesiton Kanderin was waiting for.
"So where the hell did you go man? You just took your bag and left why we were all out training"

"I dont want to talk about it if you dont mind D'Har"
Kanderin turned away for a moment, and D'Har caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a huge bite on his neck.
"Anyway guys, im tired and need to get some rest, ill see y'all in the morning"
"Night Kanderin" Arnaut smiled, before turning away back to his own bed.
D'Har also turned to head back to his bed, but turned back when his voice was called out.
"D'Har i almost forgot, some girl back at the base told me to give you this"
Kanderin pulled a holodisk from his pocket and threw it over to D'Har, who caught it as if it was priceless.

"Anyway, ill be seeing you guys" And Kanderin disappeared back into the hallway, the doors whirrng sound following him.

How long is this going to take?

Kanderin kicked at the one of the ship walls, a long groaning sound its response.
As far as he knew he was the only one left awake on the ship, and god was he bored. He'd tried going to sleep but never got very far, haunting dreams of what had happened over the last few weeks flashing in his head. So instead he decided to grab a drink out of the ships kitchen, and wait it out.

He hadn't expected this much waiting around upon his return. Both his campaigns with the Wraiths had always been action-packed, always on the move, never stopping. He dreamed for some action, something to put his mind off his past.

Then again, both of those campaigns had also landed him with a wound, the first making him lose most of his mobility in his left arm. He pulled up his sleeve to look at the wound. All that remained of it was a long red line, about a centimetre thick. It turned out that the spider thing that scratched him was in fact poisinous, and if he wa'snt carted off to the medical ward on their return as fast as he was, his arm would be the least of his worries.

"Draken?"
The sound of his voice almost made him drop his glass, it happens when your in a dark room on your own, and suddenly a voice shouts out at you. The figure that called him stepped out into the light of the windscreen, illuminating his face.

"Oh, its you sir. You frightened me half to death!" Kanderin stuttered, the piercing cold of the ship suddenly hitting him.
"I did'nt exactly expect anyone to be still up either soldier" Virius smiled.

"Cant sleep?" Kanderin asked
"Nah, i've got to keep an eye on the scanners"
"Well, i might as well give you a hand since im up"
"Theres nothing much to do" Virius explained" Apart from sit here and wait.

A click suddenly found its way down the hallway. Its funny how far small sounds travel when its so deadly quiet.
"Ill check it out" Kanderin explained, Virius nodded in response.

Kanderin slowly walked down the hallway, his eyes peeled for any further noise or movement.

A mental block seemed to be stopping D'har from getting back to sleep. The visions of this figure were'nt helping much either. Every twenty secondshe would hear something bang or click, or a figure moving in the corner of his eyesight. Arnaut and Yoder were still fast asleep, obviously no affected by these strange occurences.

D'Har watched Yoder busily snoring away as a decoy for his eyesight to keep away from these visions. But suddenly somehting appeared that he could'nt ignore. The door opened and a black figure walked in, looking directly at D'Har. D'har froze for a moment, then suddenly jumped back into life, pinning himself agaisnt the nearest wall. He gasped for breath as the figure reached out at him...

"Something wrong man?" Kanderin asked, placing his hand on D'Hars shoulder.
"Oh thank god for that, its only you Kanderin"
Kanderin looked confused.
"Who the hell else did you think it is? The Boogeyman?"
D'har smiled nervously
"You have no idea" He shook his head, "But why are you up anyway?"

Kanderin shrugged
"Weird nosies coming from down here. Few clanging noises and clciking, and what sounded like a groan earlier"
D'Har looked shocked.
"You can hear them too?"
"Why, it was'nt you making them?"

D'Har shook his head and Kanderin gulped. Kanderin wandered over to the draw holding D'Hars jacket, picked it up and threw it at him.
"Put it on and follow me"
D'har again looked confused.
"Why?"
"Were going ghost hunting" Kanderin grinned, before walking out the door.

OOC: Thats fine Yoder, just do me a favour and do somehting about your speech. Just putting the speakers name after every line makes it a little hard to follow. new line for every new person speaking please.

The three trekked down the hallway, trying to keep their noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing it or anyone else at that matter. They closed in on a doorway a little to their right, and Kanderin peeked inside, just in time to see a shadow disappear behind a shelf.
Kanderin smiled and whispered.
"Remember, blasters to stun. Whatever it is, i'd like it in alive"
The other two nodded, and Kandeirn signalled for D'Har to head around the room and enter via the second door. He then signaled Yoder to follow him, and crept into the room.

Yoder then broke off to search the shelfs closest to his doorway, while Kanderin crept in further to explore the furthest ones. Looking under the corner of the farthest shelf, he saw a black cloud hovering there, waiting for something. He looked back in time to see D'Har waddle past and look at Kanderin. Kanderin signalled him around the shelf, and quickly both were ready to box this thing in.

Kanderin pleaced three fingers under the shelf, signalling at D'Har. He dropped them in succession slowly, and both popped out from their hiding places, trapping the thing. It saw D'Har and let out an eir-piercing cry, spun around and ran, straight at Kanderin. This took him by surprise so kanderin did the first thing that came to mind: Dive back shooting at it. As he pushed off the ground with his toes, he fired three shots at the thing, of which all of them sunk right through it, bouncing off the light high above.

The thing then caught up to the diving Kanderin, and strangely passed straight through him. Kanderin collapsed in a heap, not breathing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Stay down Markus!"
Kanderin cried, for what felt like the umpteenth time, "Your going to get your head shot clean off!"
Markus looked over at Kanderin, tapping the headphones on his head and shrugging.
Kanderin repeated
"Get your head do-"
Markus got hit right between the eyes with a blaster bolt, dropping him stone dead. Kanderin felt a surge of anger throw itself over him, before placing one hand on the side of the trench and vaulting over it.
"No one kills one of my men and gets away with it!"

He sprinted up a large hill, eventually reahcing the top. But suddenly a huge force kncoked him back, a wave of pure energy. He fell backwards into the mud, looking up at his attacker. There he stood, covered from head to foot in a cloak, wielding two red lightabers in his hands. He sudddenly moved one of his hands, pushing it downwards at Kanderins skull.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Kand! Wake up!"
Yoder was shaking him violently.
"Im good im good!" Kanderin stuttered, pushing Yoder away.
He groaned and massaged his face, looking up at D'Har.
"How long have i been out?"
"About ten minutes" He replied
"Well what are we waiting for guys?" Kanderin asked, limping his way abck to his feet. " Lets get back after that thing!"

Kanderin slouched against one of the control panels, clutching his chest. He coudl'nt breathe, it was as if his whole windpipe had frozen up. He quickly spun aroudn trying to find something to help him, but could'nt find anything. Arnaut had already disappeared into another room looking for the rest of the crew, and no one else was in sight. He collapsed where he was, looking up at the top of the ship.

Then it was gone. As quick as it had come on, it had disappeared.
In typical timing, Slick then wandered into the bridge, flicking through some documents in his hand. He glanced quickly up at Kanderin, nodded and went back to the papers.

"What you got there Slick?" Kanderin asked.
"Virius got me some information on what he beleives this thing is, im checking up on it. You know, what it is, is it able to kill, are we able to kill it"
"Im not sure if its able to kill or not. Myself, Arnaut and Virius have all been attacked so far, but we all woke up fine, after a quick breather. If it is able to kill, its keeping us alive for some reason. And i have the worst suspicion its because of that" Kanderin said, pointing out the widnshield at the approaching asteroid field.

Slick sighed.
"I know what you mean, but the only way home is through it."

Suddenly, Slicks comlink crackled into action. It was muffled but the base of the message was clear.
"Jin and Striker.......Door locked.....Strange noises from inside........Help needed"

SLick looked over at Kanderin, who was already halfway across the bridge, leaping over a control panel on his way to the door. He sprinted down the main hallway, tunnel-visioning himself to the locked room. As hr ran he reached down into his leg pocket, pulling out his blaster pistol. He had hoped he would'nt have to use it this soon.

He arrived at the doorway, screeching to a halt just in front of it. D'Har and Yoder were at the door, trying to force there way in, shoulder barging it in unison.

"Get back and cover your eyes"
Kanderin pointed the gun at the lock, shielded his eyes with his other hand and fired. The whole hallway shook and dust erupted from the walls, choking the three soldiers. Kanderin rubbed it away form his eyes and looked at the doorway. A hole about a foot across now existed where the lock used to be. He smiled grimly and kicked it hard, making it snap out of place and fall down onto the ground.

Inside was Jin and Striker, both unconscious, accompanied by that thing. It was crouched over Jin, doing something. Kanderin did'nt wait to see what it was, he again raised the pistol and fired off a shot. The thing had moved jsut in time to avoid a major wound, and the shot ripped into its arm, tearing a deep wound. It let out that bone-tingling scream again, making eveyrone still conscious drop to their knees, clutching their ears. It lasted for mere seconds,  but when Kanderin raised back to his feet the thing was gone.

Kanderin spun around and just managed to catch a glimpse of what he beleived to be its hair disappearing down the hallway, and gave chase.
He looked over his shoulder back to Yoder and D'Har.
"Get those two to Slick in the control room, then get Arnaut and Virius to meet me somewhere down this hallway!" He shouted, disappearing around a bend.
