Nico

Nico sat in his chair and waited, his foot tapping in anticipation waiting for the order to jump. His foot stopping as a com link was established with his helmet. Nico listened and then turned to the Admiral encharge of the ship.

"Once i clear the hanger with my ship, Jump to ATD's flag."

Nico jumped out of his seat and ran towards the turbo lift as the doors shut a broad grin crossed his face. The time for blood shed had come at last. As the doors slid open to the hanger Nico bolted out with a new found speed and boarded his ship.

" Start the engines and lets get out of here. Prepare to jump once clear of the ship Cid. Its time to work and show these Duro pieces of hutt trash what it means to mess with the IF."

Cid did as he was told without a word. and cleared the hanger quickly.

:: "This is your commander speaking, Men I have only known you a short time and wished i had more time to get to know you all, But once the fighting is done we will drink and relax, But for now lets spill a little blood and destroy some ships. Don't let me down and lets show ATD that we are fit to wave the IF flag. NOW PUNCH IT" ::

Nico closed his eyes knowing full well that some of the men he commanded would never get the chance to met him. But it was a sacrifice Nico was willing to make to prove to his Commander/Father that he meant everything he had told him.

Before any more words could be said the ships jumped into hyper space.

*Ships move at a steady rate from the surface and make the jump to hyperspace*

*The shuttle enters orbit to intercept the message. Su'uko makes a note then sets a course for Manaan. He feels as though, it's at long last time to go home. Avidus, it would seem was still passed out from the shock of all that happened. And if Avidus was anything like Lord Mortus was, then Su'uko knew Avidus would want to immediately turn around for war.*

=Su'uko=

:: Avidus is in bad shape. I shall return to Manaan at once. Perhaps there, Avidus will be able to regroup and find his path. The Iron Fists have vanished almost without a trace. We barely left alive. That is all Dark Tide Control. Relay that to Lord Iniquitous, I am sure he will be interested to know of it all. We have the destruction recorded. ::

*With that the shuttle's cams pan over the IF HQ one last time the secondary explosions even greater than the primary can be seen from orbit. As the last explosion goes off, Su'uko kills the cams and sets his course before completing the jump to hyperspace.*

Admiral Gran stood aboard the Abyss watch out the view screen as the stars flew by in blurrs. There arrival in Bassadro space would be soon, and he had orders to get a load out of the planet and see what remained behind from the Iron fist. He was fine with this mission for the time being, it beat sitting over Gydine doing nothing by growing old watching the scanners. Finally the ship came out of hyperspace far from Bassadro's Orbit. The fleet moved towards the planet, each ship spreading out in V formation with The Abyss and Ronin leading. Admrial Gran turned his attention to the Comm officer, the officer knowing Gran wanted a comm opened to the Planet. If there was anything left behind Gran would find out soon. While the comm was brought online, he requested transmition be set to all ships to releasee fighters, so they could do a low sweep of the planet if no one replyed to his hailing

:: This is Admrial Gran Second to Master Tiro Saul. I would like to speak to the controllers of this planet. ::

He turned his attention to his crew as he switch his end off waiting for a reply.

=Gran=
I want all ships to scan the planet, I want to know whats on it and where its located. No supprises boys.

=Bassadro Control=

In Orbit of the planet Bassadro, a small freighter lingered with it's engine cut, just floating through the vaccum of space. Inside, the lone crew member sat, punching in a series of commands, seemingly desparate.

Oh, come on now... you've got to work, you kriffing rustbucket, I paid too much for you to break down now...

Slamming his hand repeatedly down on the transmitter, the young man hoped that he could at least manage a small range distress signal... because if he couldn't, he would be stuck for a very long time. Longer, in fact, than his oxygen supply.

Brix, if I get out of this... I'll call my brother and apologize... aw, kriff, even I know that's a lie- I'd rather die alone out here than go back to that awful place... there's nothing for a kid like me there.

He leaned down, bending down skillfully, and he began to manhandle a wire, forcibly disconnecting it from it's place proper before switching it with another, shaking his head.

Now how did that happen...?

Standing up straight, the red light blipped on for the console and he engaged the talk command.

:: Anyone out there? My name is Ark Exerum- I'm the brother of the Peace Bureau comittee of Coruscant, Markis Exerum... he's paying handsomely for my safe return. Help would be much appreciated- I've gone and lost all power and all of my engines have failed... anyone? ::

From hyperspace, a Nubula Cruiser bearing Dark Tide Symbols exits hyperspace. Avidus calmly reached through the force. His eyes closing in concentration. And then he had it! Without saying a word he left the ship's bridge walking rather forcefully to his shuttle. The old shuttle with the IF markings still visible was waiting and he boarded immediately heading down to the surface following the faint tingle in the back of his head. . .Things were going to get interesting.

The old Iron Fist shuttle returns to Hangar 18 on the Nebula Cruiser Iron Tits. no sooner had the shuttle docked then Vic Rattlehead walked up to the shuttle. "Sir! Where shall I plot our course of Action? I can sense that you were successful on your mission." Avidus spoke. "Admiral set course for Kuat. We shall arrive there and await Randall Flagg's Appearance." He walked to the bridge with Vic next to him. "What are we looking for on Kuat Sir?" Avidus gave Vic a sideways look. " The less you know right now Admiral, the better for now." "Yes sir." They reached the turbo lift and entered it. As it closed behind them, the elevator version of The Imperial March playing. A few minutes later, the lift opened to the spacious bridge. Avidus walked to the far end where the Jacuzzi was located and slipped out of his robes settling down into the scalding water with a sigh. A server brought him a drink and he closed his eyes and focused slightly. In the background, the Megadeth song Killing is My Buisness. . .And Buisness is Good! started playing. "Excellent choice, Sir." Jeeves said as he removed Avidus's empty glass. "Thank you Jeeves." He then spoke through the private comm link that linked directly to Vic Rattlehead's Brain. :: What is the hold up Vic? We need to get going now! ::He killed the comm then a moment later the response. :: One of the primary hyperdrive engines was malfunctioning. It would seem that Iniquitous didn't bother to repair this vessel before he gave it to you Sir. :: Avidus sighed then had a thought. :: Dissconnect it then and switch to the secondary generator. It should give us enough power to at least make one jump to Kuat. Then we can dock and repair it properly. :: Vic thought for a minute, his partial cyborg brain working the odds of that working. :: Very good then Sir. We'll be able to do that right away. :: Avidus laid back weary from his long ordeal and promptly fell asleep as the Nebula jumped to Hyperspace.

*The Corellian HWK-290 light freighter streamed from Bassadro's terrain and headed to the waypoint to make a jump to hyperspace. Kais marvelled at the battered Cruiser that dwarfed her own ship, before it preceded her own craft in making the jump. Snorting with a derisive smirk, she turned to her Master and raised her eyebrows.*

Here we go....

*Punching the controls, the ship seemed to hang in space, pausing briefly before accelerating to hyperspace, and winking out on its journey to Kuat.*
