This new story will keep mostly to the game but will dark side male exile like originally planned. No idea what the pairing will be. I really don't have a plan for this so I'm going to wing it.

I don't own anything in this story.

Act 1: Discoveries pt. 1

Peragus: Mining Tunnel

Tiberius had just walked through the door of the emergency hatch.

Before he could move any farther, he heard Atton's voice.

"Can you read me?"

"What do you want?"

"What did you say? Your signal's crammed with static. There's a lot of interference down there, probably caused the explosion. Still it looks like there's a route down to the Peragus fuel Depot, if the passages haven't collapsed. That explosion knocked out most of the sensors."

"Any thing else I need to know"

"Yeah, there should be an emergency crate in the next room. Watch yourself. There's a lot of droid broadcast in that area but I can't pin them down."

"Got it, keep me posted on anything else you find out"

"Will do and be careful down there."

Tiberius continued to walk down the hall. In the next room, he saw a broken droid and the emergency crate. He went to the droid and found some parts and components. He then went to the crate and found some clothes, a safety harness, a mining shield, survey gear and a medpac.

" Find the emergency supplies"

"Yeah, found some survey gear, a safety harness and a uniform"

"About time, the whole half naked Jedi thing was wearing a little thin. The survey gear allows you to spot and protect against the sonic mines. The safety harness is good if you want to disarm them"

"Anything else"

"Uh, just one more thing. I've narrowed down some of the signals, and if the numbers are right, your sharing the tunnels with a battalion of mining droids."

"I can handle them, just find me the way out of there"

"There's got to be some central controller down there. See if you can find a terminal by the main access shaft: that'd be governing intelligence."

Tiberius put on the mining gear and continued through the doors.

He walked into a circular room with an orange fuel pump and noticed the mines to his right

"Watch where you step. I'm picking up a lot of sonic mines down there. Don't run unless you have to, it makes them harder to spot."

"No worries, I'm good with demolitions"

"All right, but the survey gear and safety harness should help you out"

"Understood, Tiberius out"

Tiberius picked up the mines in the hallway. He also noticed a broken droid and picked out its parts and components. He left the room and went to the right. He noticed another room with a dead end. It had a broken droid and he took its parts and components. When he left the room, he noticed a third room. It led to what he thought was the mining tunnels.

When he walked down the hall to the tunnels, he noticed a damaged droid. He went to repair the droid using the parts he found. The mining droid looked like it was damaged in whatever explosions took place in the tunnel. He reactivated the droid. He optimized the droids weaponry and targeting systems. He put the droid on patrol mode so it could scout the tunnels. When the droid got to the start of the tunnels, it opened fire on some targets. Tiberius ran to the droid to support it in the fight. He equipped his vibroblade in his right hand. However, the fight was already over when he got there. He noticed the remains of the destroyed droids. He found a few sonic and ion grenades along with a few components.

Tiberius walked ahead of the patrol droid. He activated Energy Resistance just in case some droids snuck up on him. While walking down the tunnels, He noticed another fuel pump similar to the one in the circular room. He saw a body near the machine. He found some credits, chemicals, an energy shield, and an advance-mining laser. He continued to walk down the tunnel. He was shot by 3 droids. The shots hit him in the chest but did nothing. Tiberius rushed toward the droid 1. He jumped and stabbed it in the head. He jumped off droid 1. While in the air he used Stun Droid on droid 2. . Tiberius landed behind droid 3 and unleashed a power attack. He then rushed toward droid 2 and hit it with a critical strike aimed at it legs. The droid was crippled and Tiberius finished it off with SHOCK.

He felt his powers growing after the fight. He turned around and noticed colored steam coming from the walls. Atton's voice was heard over the communicator.

"Hey, watch out. That explosion has super-heated the tunnels ahead. That steam'll cook the skin off your bones. If you can find a mining energy shield, switch it on. It should protect you against the heat if you move quickly enough."

"Got it, Tiberius out"

Tiberius activated Burst Speed and activated the mining energy shield. He rushed through the tunnel. On the other side, he walked into another room and collected the mines along the way. He walked out of the room. He saw 6 droids in his way along with a repair droid. He threw an ion grenade and a sonic grenade. Only a red mining droid survived. It rushed at him. Tiberius lazily stabbed it in the head. He walked into the end of the tunnel. Atton's voice was heard through the comm. link.

"What the hell does he want now" Tiberius thought getting annoyed at all the calls

"You're getting close to something big, I think it's the main ventilation shaft. The central droid controller should be somewhere nearby. Keep an eye out for it. I'm picking up a lot of droids. If you still have a mining energy shield, I'd equip it and switch it on"

"You know what, contact me only if I'm about to die. Tiberius out"

Tiberius walked to the end of the tunnel and saw a huge room. It was circular with 4 containment fields across from each other. In the middle of the room was a platform with two ramps on opposite sides connecting to the rest of the room. The platform had a computer console. Behind the containment fields, were droids. On the left side of the room was a droid in between two fields. It was the same on the other side. Tiberius walked around the room attacking the droids outside of the fields. He went to one of the ramps and walked to the platform He activated the console."

Peragus Central Mining Control

Emergency Lockdown Activated

Explosions Reported in fuel chambers

Call up droid command functions

Access fuel containment functions

Access camera functions

Log out

Tiberius went to the fuel containment functions. He shut down the fields surrounding the droids. He went to droid commands. He noticed that the droids were set to mine organics. He increased the temperature in the room to block the droid sensors and made them stop targeting organics. He then went to the camera functions. He noticed a log. It was labeled Unidentified Holocord camera: Work Claim 12-34. He checked it out. After watching the recording, it made him think. "Hm, At least I know who not to trust, but I don't think these guys trapped me on the administrator level. However, someone has taken care to delete the record of this camera being placed. It isn't listed on any of the work records. Whoever did it definitely wasn't a miner because they wouldn't delete it. There are only two ways out of these tunnels. The way I came in was locked. That means the killer is near the other exit. I'm positive he/she isn't a miner. A miner would have died trying to get through these tunnels. Considering how someone set this computer to mine organics, I'd say it is probably a droid who did it or something else that doesn't have any flesh. If it were a droid, why the hell would it do all this? Maybe the utility droid knows what's going on, I doubt he caused it. I'm wasting time, I got to keep moving"

Tiberius went around the room destroying the droids. When he was finish with the droids, he saw a crossroads near one of the fuel containers. He took the right path and it lead to a High-level security door. He hacked the door and collected all the mines he saw. It was a waste though because it led to a dead end. He went back and took the other path. He took down the few droids in his path. When he made it to a fuel pump, he got a message from Atton.

"This better be important"

"Yeah it is. I'm picking up some strange readings. What are you doing down there"

"Whatever you're detecting, it's probably my fault"

"So you shut down the containment fields. Then you need to get out of there before they vent fuel to the surface of the asteroids through the tunnels"

"Great. How much farther is he exit"

"I may be able to keep it contained until you get the turbo lift to the fuel depot, but not for much longer. I'm locking down the turbo lift to the administrator's level to keep the blast from spreading. If you got anything left to do down there, make it quick, because where you are is going to get real hot, real quick"

Tiberius activated burst speed. He didn't rush to the exit though. He opened recovered the mines around the tunnel and destroyed the droids. He saw the exit but it was being guarded by droids. When he was about to attack, he heard explosions coming from behind him. The explosions were coming closer. Tiberius jumped over the droids sending Stun droid at each of them. The fuel pump near him exploded and sent him through the turbo lift. He landed against the wall. The turbo lift doors shut and it started to move up to the fuel depot. Tiberius got up; the explosion sent a shockwave at the turbo lift. He felt the explosions rising trying to catch the lift. When it stopped, Tiberius jumped through doors when they opened. As he landed on the ground, he saw the explosions destroying the lift. The doors closed and locked sealing away the destruction before it could spread farther. Tiberius sat up from the ground looking at the door. He then started to laugh. The comm. link beeped.

"Hey you alright"

"Of course. I haven't had a rush like that since the wars."

"You were cutting it pretty close. If you had been any slower the explosion would have taken the turbo lift and you down with it."

"Please, if I was worried about that explosion I would have ran to the exit."

"For a Jedi you sure don't act like it"

The smile on Tiberius face fell. " I stopped being a Jedi they decided to exile me. Don't compare me to those hypocrites, got it"

"Someone has a few issues"

"You better hope I find this killer or I'm going kill you"

"What"

Tiberius cut the Comm. link and walked down the halls of the fuel depot. In one of the rooms there was a body lying on the floor. A closer inspection showed it was a miner from one of the logs he saw. Tiberius examined the body trying to find some kind of information

"Greetings: It is a pleasure to see you alive Master, provided my receptors are not off-focus. How may I be of assistance?"

After examining the speaker, Tiberius guessed that it was the protocol droid mentioned in the logs. The Master statement did make him a little suspicious.

" Who are you? I'm not you master. "

"Answer: I am a survivor of the Harbinger, just as you were, Master. With the unexpected termination of my previous master, you are the only organic which I may now serve."

"Who was your previous master"
Answer: The captain of the Harbinger, master. I was in transit to Telosto facilitate communications and terminate hostilities... However, we did not arrive at our intended destination"

"Understandable, tell me what happen between the Harbinger and now.

"Irritated Answer: oh master, it is such a long, dull story. And not terribly relevant to our current situation"

"Last time I checked protocol droids are supposed to follow orders unquestioned."

"Hesitant Explanation: That has been the subject of considerable since our arrival here, master. Many have attempted to claim and this unit as salvage. I was crudely interrogated concerning our brief history together on board the Harbinger... before its communications, weapons, and engines, suffered the cascade failure that disabled the ship"

"And where was I when this was taking place"

"Speculation: It is possible you were incapacitated and locked in the well shielded cargo compartment as the Harbinger was being systematically crippled, master"

"Incapacitated"

"Clarification: Yes master. No doubt the flurry of destruction on board the Harbinger somehow drugged you into a stupor from which you could not awaken. Most curious"

"Wrong choice of words" Tiberius said with a hand reaching for his blade

"Placation: Merely a turn of phrase, Master. The implication that your state was due to the result of ingesting large juma juice was unintentional. I meant to communicate only that you were somehow rendered unconscious before you were locked securely in the cargo hold."

"So someone trapped me in the cargo hold"

"Clarification: By locked I mean "sealed" Master. My vocabulator seems to be malfunctions"

"Un huh, what happened next?

"Recitation: Following the unusual set of coincidences that led to the cascade failure in the Harbinger's system, we were boarded by a small freighter with unknown ID codes. It appeared that this freighter was attacked and the captain wanted to study it. The freighter appeared to still be space worthy. Your cargo compartment was breached, and you were taken aboard the freighter shortly before the Harbinger's system began to go critical. I, too, managed to board the freighter before the harbinger's destruction. We were most fortunate to have survived, master"

"What attacked the freighter"?

"Evaluation: Master, I do not know. Judging from the damage, it had been attacked by a much larger vessel. And when it attempted to escape the Harbinger with you on board, it was fired on again. Addendum: it does seem odd that such a small vessel has a high probability of attracting the attention of much larger vessels. Not a welcome trait in a freighter, to be sure"

"What was the freighter that the Harbinger brought on board?"

"Explanation: I believe it was a smuggler's vessel by the name of the 'Ebon Hawk'. Speculation: As for it's purpose, I do not know. Perhaps, it was always its intention to play dead, then kidnap you off the harbinger and rob me of my bounty"

This sent warning signals through Tiberius head. He decided to play dumb and se if the droid tried to correct its wording

"Bounty?"

"By bounty, I refer to your life. Master, it would pain me to see you damaged in any way. That is why the arrival of this 'Ebon hawk' caused me considerable distress"

"Why did the ship take me off the harbinger"

"Apology my memory core cannot provide a clear answer on that point. Master, suffice to say that once we arrived at this floating rock, our situation became much clearer"

"What happen when the ship arrived?"

"Explanation: Despite my marketing value, master, the miners were far more interested in you. It did not take long for me to ascertain the reason for this. While an HKprotocol droid is a valuable piece of property. Jedi are worth much more in certain... exclusivemarkets across the galaxy. Painful Admission: I must confess to feelings of inferiority at the speculated difference between my value and the price for your capture. I was forced to remind myself that it was not due to a failing of my model, but because you were a Jedi."

"How did a bunch of miners find out that I was a Jedi?"

"Surprised Answer: Why I told them, master. You are the exiled Jedi who served with Revan in the Mandalorian Wars, are you not? I hope all that has happened, has not been the result of a misconception. If so, the problem lies with the coreward database, which are notoriously spotty"

"That information wouldn't have been in coreward databases... only in Jedi archives"

"Indignant Exclamation: Master, I am only a protocol droid! But it is part of my function to know such information and relay it to any interested parties in the interest of terminating any potential hostilities"

"This isn't an ordinary protocol droid. He says there's something wrong with his systems, but something tells me he's lying about that and telling half truths on a few things" "So what happened to the rest of the miners?"

Answer: All that has happened has been because they believe you to be a Jedi, master. They debated what to do with you, as you lay unconscious in the medical bay. One group seemed intent on selling as property. The other group opposed to this.

"What happened after?"

" Three standard hours after the division between the miners became apparent accidents began to occur throughout the facility. A result of improper maintenance; I believe. These accidents coincide with the degradation of the mining droid behavioral cores... crude methods are prone to such failure, as resulting in murderous rampages. The morality rate of organics in the facility rose quickly.

"So what happened to the rest of the miners?"

" Many miners began to join you in the medical bay as a cascade of flawlessly timed detonations in isolated gas pockets in the lower levels of the facility. The explosions herded the miners into emergency sections of the station quickly and efficiently cutting them of from communications and facility control... but sadly enough, not he ventilation systems."

"Sadly enough? What do you mean?"

"You see, the explosions had damaged specific sections of this facility's ventilation systems, causing slow, lethal build up of toxic fumes in the dormitory level"

"The explosions were timed. The miners were led into a trap by the explosion so they couldn't raise an alarm or ask for help. . The vents were used to kill them quietly and quickly. This droid sounds like he sat back and watched what happen to them. I need to find the computer terminal that caused this. Though I'm pretty sure who did killed the miners. There is no telling how this 'Protocol' droid will react by questioning him. Besides he'll probably just deny it any way"

"Are there any miners left that weren't met with accidents"

"Answer: I do not know, Master. Ironically enough, any miner that fled to the dormitory levels to protect themselves from the droids and the explosions would find themselves in a gas filled death trap."

"What are the chances that the miners survived?"

"None master. It is unlikely that any of the miners survived. As I said, the dormitory has been cut off from the rest of the facility... as has the hanger bay. There is no escape"

"Even if they were still alive they would be dead weight. I'd probably finish them myself. Is there a way to reach them?"

"Theory: You could walk across the surface of the asteroid to the dormitory airlock, but such a route would be extremely hazardous, and I do not wish to see you damaged"

" The miners have the codes that I need to get of this death trap. And if I don't get those codes then nobody leaves and the first thing I going to do is turn you into scrap metal"

"Warning: Master, continued exploration may place you in unnecessary danger. I encourage you to return to the medical bay and wait for your retrieval from a vessel that is no doubt on the way even as we continue this pointless conversation."

"Your warning is noted. This conversation isn't pointless. It tells me exactly how annoying and worthless you really are. What I need to do is get to the hangar bay. Which means, I have to go to through the dormitories. And for the record, any ship coming here at this point, isn't going to help us. In fact, their probably going to lock me up or kill me. Either way it doesn't help us out. If you don't want to see me damaged, help yourself by telling me how to get to the dormitories. I can get to the hangar bay by myself."

Tiberius and Hk-50 stared at each other for a time. Tiberius swore he saw small sparks fly out of the droid's neck.

"Weary resignation: Very well master, but there is little I can do. You see the airlock is locked by a code"

"Something tells me you like to give me bad news. Who's got the damn code" Tiberius was getting agitated with all the bad news surrounding his goals.

"Correction: Oh, I already possess the code, but I'm afraid that will do you no good. Condescending explanation: Master, the console governing the droid maintenance area... and airlock... is voice-printed. Musing: In the last day of his life, the maintenance officer was quite careful about voice protocols, bordering on paranoid obsession. Conjecture: I suspect once he realized something was wrong in the facility, he decided to voice locked the droid bay functions. A prudent measure but in the end the same fate as the rest of the organics"

"You could have just said you have the code. Well, what is it"

"Condescending Explanation: Oh yes. Master, the code is "Maintenance Control: Voiceprint ID: R1-B5," but unless the maintenance officer speaks the code it is useless"

"I am going to forget that I heard the condescending part. How can I bypass the voiceprint?"

Answer: Master, you cannot. You are trapped here, just I am. There is nothing you can do except wait and see what the future has in store for us.

"Then I guess our business is done here." Tiberius walked out the room hoping to find a solution to this new obstacle. He noticed a few broken droids across the hall and decided take some components. When he walked in the room, he started to take some droid components. During his scavenging, he noticed a container and a workbench. He also found some modifications for weapons. He checked out the container and found a data pad and a small device. He read the data pad.

'With the protocol droid's help, I've finished work on the sonic imprint sensors. I've installed them in the mining droids, but I'm locking up the original here to prevent the other miners from using its ability to record and playback voices to override the droids voice print protocols.'

When he finished reading the data pad, Tiberius thought on his discovery. "This was a poor place to hide this device. Anybody could have found it. The maintenance guy must have decided to hide the sensor here. I'm guessing he was in a rush or didn't have a better spot to hide. However, considering his body is right across the hall, I don't think he had time to think of a new place to hide the sensor. If I can convince the droid to say the code again, I can record it, find the airlock and get to the dormitories" Tiberius went back to the droid

" Hey droid, I was wondering why can't you just repeat the code and open up the airlock so I can get out of here"

"Objection: Master! To commit such an act would be in violation of the programming most droids are believed to possess. I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done."

"Yeah most droids possess, but I understand if your limited functionality prevents you from mimicking the maintenance officer's voice accurately. I wonder if there is a better protocol droid around here. You know one with top of the line tech."

"Proud answer: Hold on master. I am a top of the line HVk-50 series droid. My vocabulator is working adequately enough to accommodate your request. I will prove it. Recitation: "Maintenance control: Voiceprint ID: R1-B5". There was that sufficient Master.

"Yes I think that's all I need" "And they say droids don't feel emotions. This one has pride with a side arrogance and sarcasm"

Confused Query: I am sorry, Master. Were you speaking to yourself?"

Tiberius walked away from the droid and walked down the hall and to a door. A vision of the other side of the droid appeared in his head. It showed a walkway with 4 droids one directly in front of a door. Tiberius figured it was the battle precognition and went back to the workbench in the other room. From the components he gathered he made two vibroswords. He then modified both of them with stuff he found around the facility. He gave them both a super ion cell and super ionite edge. One blade he added an adv. Nagaigrip, while the other he gave an adv. Zabrak grip. He equipped both swords and went back to the door. He opened the door and was attacked by blasters. He sidestepped the shots and did a dual strike to the head and legs of the droid. There were 2 droids in front of him and one down the hall behind him. Using the force, he crashed the droids toghether and used disable droid to shut them down. He ducked a blaster shot from behind him and flung an ion grenade down the hall destroying the other doids. He finished of the disabled droids with a slash to the head. He continued down the walkway and stopped a security door.

When he was about to tamper with the door to get it opened, another door opened.

"Cool, more toys to play with"

Two walker droids started to attack Tiberius. Tiberius used the force to jumped behind the droids and he unleashed Lightningfrom both hands and made the droids explode. He walked to the door and hot wiredit to open. It did and Tiberius was met with another walker droid. He unleashed a flurry of offense against the droid, Cutting of its arms and legs before destroying it. He encountered a few other droids but destroyed them with ease. After destroying the last droid, he noticed 3 doors. One was a turbo lift and he figured it led to the administrator's level. Another had a console inside of it. He went to the console and used the sonic sensor to gain access to it. He played the device.

"Maintenance control: Voiceprint ID: R1-B5" the voice came from the device. Tiberius accessed the Terminal.

Log out

He opened the air lock first since it was important. Then he checked the system ID. The sedative order to the med bay came from this one.

"This is what I've been looking for." He checked the information given by the computer. "Hm, if I am right and the droid did this. Then I am pretty sure he was planning this since we arrived or maybe when the miners where thinking about selling me. He went through a lot of safety overrides under the guise of "emergency treatment". He did it before the emergency lockdown. Wonder if I can find who did it."

Tiberius found that the two cameras in the medical bay were linked to this console and were locked in place.

"Damn, it doesn't tell me exactly who did it, but it had to have happened after the maintenance officer locked it. Only two people had that code. Either the maintenance officer did it and was killed by the HK unit, which I doubt. The HK unit would have probably told me if it was true and I don't think he would kill his own people and he doesn't have anything to gain from it. The HK unit has all the reason to try and kill the miners if they were going to put me in danger. I'm starting to think that droid isn't a protocol droid; hell, I think it's been lying to me from the start. About what, I can't be certain. I can't confront him now. I got to get to the hangar bay and find a way get off this station"

Tiberius started to think about what's been going on and he started to get pissed. He took his frustrations out on the console and destroyed it with a Force powered punch. He calmed down and thought over his problems.

"You know what, I do remember being on board the harbinger. I was planning to sneak off the ship under the guise of going to the med bay the next day. Then, something attacked me while I was in my room sleeping. I can't remember whom, but I do remember waking up to the ship being attacked. Someone attacked me as soon as I got of the bed. I can't remember much after that, but I think this droid is one of the causes of my recent problems. Ever since I returned to republic space, nothing has gone my way. The republic tracks me down before I even get chance to get a drink, the Harbinger is attacked, I get knocked out by something, I was drugged then trapped on this station. What God did I piss off? The only good thing that happened is that I can feel the force again, though it feels different. If anyone's to blame, it's the Republic, The Jedi counsel, and Revan. Not only did that bastard back me into a corner at Malachor5, he helped the council banished me. I accuse him of being the next dark lord, and not only am I an enemy to the council but now I'm an enemy to the Republic. If it wasn't for Lorna, I might have been executed. She was the only one that stood up for me. And I was right all along about Revan. I didn't even get a fucking apology. I get the Republic hounding at me thinking I'm got to help their latest crisis while aiming blasters at me. It is nice know that the Order is destroyed. I doubt there all dead, but I'm pretty sure they won't try to judge me. The only reason I accepted exile was that I couldn't feel the force and the masters along with Revan would destroy me. From what Atton told me though and from what I heard. Revan went on a crusade against the Jedi. Then she saves their Asses by killing Malak. I bet he wasn't even punished for his crimes. You know what, I am starting to sound like a jealous padawan. We were friends until she came back from her tutelage from Coruscant. If it wasn't for Vima, and Atris, I would have probably attacked Revan that day Atris and I became knights of the order."

I'm going to end the chapter right here. I apologize for the long wait. I almost lost inspiration for writing this. That and I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins for the past couple weeks. A friend of mine made me realize that I was getting addicted to it and she along with my parents decided to take it away from me for a while. Anyway, I might start the next chapter off with a flashback if I can think of a good script for the flashback. Thanks for reading and comment whether you like it or hate it.
