It was dark in the vents.
That was what the female figure thought to herself a she crawled her way through the ventilation shafts, her form tight black suit and outer robes blending in to the darkness.
It wasn't the dark that had her nervous. Hell, it wasn't the clones on this parasite of a ship either.
It was the Jedi that had her attention. She could feel them, through the force. She could feel them in every fibre of her being.
Damn them, the scum. They just can't stay where they are, could they.
As she continued onward she saw a faint light ahead.
It was an opening into a huge room, where one single metal beam shoots down in the middle of it, the female noticing how both the ceiling and floor were not visible and that there were multiple bridges connecting the sides of the room together.
She soon saw a strange device, bigger and wider than any normal person with multiple blue lights flickering in and out seemingly at random, in the middle of the metal beam where the two main bridges connected themselves onto the beam.
The assassin knew immediately what this device was, smiling under the mask.
The power generator, there you are.
She immediately walked her way towards it at a rapid pace, her body low to do its best at being seemingly invisible, before tapping rapidly at the console in front of the device, determination and purpose showing in her body language.
Almost there... and-
"Freeze!" A voice, stern and aggressive called out behind her, forcing her to turn her head around to see that it was nothing more than a mere clone who had raised his blaster towards her in a threatening posture.
"Turn. Slowly. And with your hands in the air." He beckoned, with the robe wearing female complying as she slowly turned around to face the soldier, arms in the air as she was ordered, her unseen eyes staring into the clone's very soul.
The clone started to speak into his comlink "Sir, I've got a situation here. There's an-" As he started to speak however, the assassin quickly sprang at him, seeing her opportunity, grappling him so as to drop his gun whilst she tensed her arms, putting pressure on the clone's neck so as to stop him breathing, the clone himself furiously trying to get out of the hold with his arms flailing around, trying to gain a grasp on the assassin.
Before he could however, the girl quickly snapped his neck with a very loud Crack, silencing him forever.
Dropping the body onto the ground, she quickly pressed a multitude of buttons on both her comlink and that of the clones, whose superior was attempting to communicate to.
"Trooper! Trooper, answer me! What is it?" The voice on the other end of the line shouted, anger and panic edging into his voice.
"False alarm sir" The assassin quickly replied, only the voice that came out of her helmet was not hers but of the deceased clones "Got spooked, that was all."
"Well don't give me a panic attack when you do, trooper! Understand?" The voice asked angrily.
"Yes sir." She replied before ending the conversation.
Simpletons she thought, before hurling both the recently deceased corpse and his weapon over the bridge and into the seemingly ongoing abyss with ease, moving back towards the field generator.
Once finished with what she had done, the female assassin walked back calmly to where the opening in the ventilation shaft was on the wall, getting into it and crawly an unknown distance away from the power generator, before stopping and pulling out a trigger-like device from her belt within her robes.
Not long now she thought.
Tick Tock.
Tick Tock.
"Are you alright, Ahsoka?" Her friend Barriss asked concern clear in her voice as she leaned on her bed, similar to Ahsoka's own bed that was next to hers with the owner of the bed sitting up straight on it, a frown on her face as she faced her friend.
"I don't know" She replied, confusion evident in her voice "I just have this uneasy feeling, its coming from the force."
"Are you sure? It could just be are nerves Ahsoka." Barriss replied, attempting to clear her close friend's worries.
Before Ahsoka could reply, a thunderous explosion could be heard, distant from the padawans yet close enough for them to feel the floor shake.
The lights suddenly went out after the explosion, with red lights coming on a couple of minutes later, indicating that the ship was on its backup generator, and with sirens sounding off in every room and corridor on ship, including the girls.
Ahsoka, worry and a single thread of fear on her face, replied with her voice shaking:
"I'm sure."
