"A astonishing exploration! While searching for the right power source to help focus the energy level for the experimental portal to take them back home. Quackers, the scientist duck on the Wild Force accompanied by Sionver Boll to investigate a planet with the right substance to channel the energy of their experiment. Taronite, a vast world not occupied by that Republic or Separatist forces, but hides unwelcome company which the two intellectual visitors will soon meet face to face. Not knowing what plans they have with the crystals as well different types of materials on this world."

Making their destination to the surface of the planet, the small republic ship soon made a safe landing where it was able to withstand. Quackers along with Sionver looked at the area around them seeing that of the diamond plain, it looked magnificent as well each crystal above the area shined off the reflection of the sun right above them. Boll, looking at the atmosphere of the planet showed that it was breathable, to which the two got up as well walked to the back of the ship and walked outside.

Quackers: "Amazing, a whole planet that has grown crystals. No scientific enhancements, fully grown from the ground under."

Looking around as he saw some small crystals on the ground by his feet, picking up a small fracture of a crystal near him. Quackers took out a small device and quickly scans it getting a small like energy signature from it, this could possibly help with getting the machine functional along with increasing it's average power so it wouldn't malfunction then the last one. Hearing footsteps, the duck happened to see that of Sionver Boll wearing that of a uniform which was light purple along with being that of a exploration suit and science.

Sionver Boll: "I was able to scan for any seismic activity when I was getting ready, so far there are no sights of anything happening. We should be safe from anything from happening."

Giving a full detail analysis of the environment, however the fowl was right now looking at Sionver's look as she was quite. Extraordinary, it's not often he could team up with someone as smart along with intelligent as him, along that. He's had a tendency to try and not fluster himself when he's near women who are smart, makes him feel nervous. He merely nodes to what she applied trying to not lose his focus as he hands her the crystal.

Quackers: "The structure of this crystal is giving off a strong like energy, but for the portal to work functionally. We, might need a bigger crystal."

Speaking in a worried like tone as for most types of experiments which involved that something as powerful as this, they needed a bigger crystal. Which he wanted to avoid, the chances of bringing a massive size crystal that could hold as well withstand the energy that the portal will need. Can often draw the attention of several people being interested in the energy or experiments that would be happening, they would want for their own. Handing the piece to her, she scans it as they were getting a strong connection to where they could be more.

Sionver Boll: "We should take precaution, and go left."

Looking up where they needed to head first, the two make their way not knowing of a small droid from that of headcase monitoring their movement. As they walked more, there was some silence in the atmosphere seeing how they haven't talk during their walk. This continued more till they reached that of a large like entrance in the planet, it went to the center of the planet where this had to be caused by a home range attack.

Quackers: "Looks like a long way down, ready?"

Asking her seeing how this was much more then like she had dealt with, nodding to him the two soon looked for way down. Looking at the edges of the wall they saw some rock like edges for them to safely climb downwards, taking it slow as well not trying to slip or lose their grip. The two continued to make their way downwards as they saw something shining downwards, the crystals below them brighten up much more seeing that there was more below. They continued to climb downwards where they found somewhere they could step on, taking a moment to catch their breath they looked around seeing there were much more crystals around them much larger then the ones on the surface.

Sionver Boll: "Amazing, how a planet like this could exist and no one would know about it."

Quackers: "Maybe, because it's better that it remains a secret."

Thinking about it as he looks ahead, that answer she got from him sounded like that of disbelief seeing how he must have had experience this type of manner. They continued to follow the trail of smaller crystals growing from the depths as Sionver was checking from her scanner which one would be necessary for the portal.

Sionver Boll: "I have come to terms with that no technology from your world would be used here due to the crisis of started a pandemic or another galaxy issues. But this planet is here, along that it's properties used right could be beneficial to the republic along with other worlds that could wield these energy source."

Explaining in a manner of this being used for something good, though from Quackers perspective. That's what most people say, at first when they find that of a new resource or something ancient, they think they could share it as well use it for the good of others. However, that was still into question seeing that those few others, could include people that would want to use these types of crystals for something that could hurt others.

Quackers: "And the people that want to use it as weapons? Will you stand by when they suggest that act?"

Looking to her if she would have a decision on that matter, such as her being the first among many scientists to be involved in this important matter. The conundrum went to her head thinking that these crystals shouldn't be used for tactics such as warfare, the more that this happened the more that she thinks of it she remained silent to this. The two made it to a cavern where there were some decent amount of crystals for them to choose, she walked over to a medium size one where she looked at it closer. The way it shined, as well it cleansed looked amazing since it was untouched by anyone in ages, but the two needed to find one.

Sionver Boll: "With the amount of energy the portal requires, it will take about two hours for use to find the right crystal to make the machine work."

Seeing how the collection of them around them would take a whole day to find one they needed, to which Quackers merely rubbed his feathers not going to let this stop him. He went to check out one of them to which he noticed something, one of them was cracked along with it being used. Taking out a monocle like device, he scans it seeing that this certain crystal had been excavated along that it was possibly used.

Quackers: "Were not alone."

Showing her the used like shard to her as quickly enough, they heard some footsteps coming to them. Looking to the side of the holes, they quickly went behind some rocks where to their eyes they saw that of some battle droids. They were pushing carts along with them having several more pieces of crystals, there were either crushed into dust or that of it being cracked into pieces. The two watched in silence of how they were mining the diamond shaped rocks as well keeping them safe and well guarded, exiting out through the other part of the cavern the two slowly walked to see the droids were gone.

Sionver Boll: "The separatists are here already? But I saw no ships, no tanks or even.."

Continuing to list the facts of there sightings, however Quacker's eyes soon look in the shadows seeing that of the droid spying on them when they came. Stopping the flying machine right in the middle of it preparing for a stealth attack of Boll, he gripped his fist slowly crushing it as Sion could see him taking it in a instant as well not seeing it right behind her. The two rushed over to see if they could stop the sparking before it could get any attention.

Quackers: "We have to assume that Headcase knows where here, stay low and remain in the shadows."

Thinking of a strategy which made her unable to cooperate seeing how she wasn't a soldier or that of a skilled person, but still she could use her brains to avoid being caught undetected. Quackers, merely went up as well looked at the tracks of where the droids were rolling the cart. Sionver, looking at her waist having several items with her, she equipped her self with that of a experimental cloaking device which she was able to take from the shadow matrix mask that Quackers took in to examine. She was able to reverse the technology to that of making herself blend into the background, it was time to see what this cyborg was doing on a planet like this.

Later

Within one of the large like area's of the planet was a small group of the battle droids, who had drills attached to them along with them being that of mining droids. Drills were sparking against the diamonds and droids hitting the small one with that of pitchforks, as every machine was continuing to do this. Headcase, was right now looking at a medium size crystal as he placed it near his forearm. His eyes expanded to which he looks at the structure of it, seeing how the reflection came off he walked over and hits it against the rocky wall.

Headcase: "Perfect, take this one to my personal set. The rest that are like these go to the techno union."

Informing a tactician droid to take this diamond to his personal collection while the rest like this would go to Dooku's allies. With this used on the battlefield, their efforts to win this war would come swiftly if used correctly. While for himself, able to construct a new harden based structure body to withstand even the explosion of a ship. His red eyes shifting to the side, he looked over to see if there were any more diamonds that would be able to be of usage to him. As he continued to his operation, Quackers made it in silently using some of his cunning to avoid detection as well of how that he watched where he stepped. The cracks in the wall along with that of how much excavation that has happen here along on the ground, he would get caught if made a misstep.

"Sir, we have confirmation that we have only twenty percent left of collecting the crystals for transportation."

One of the droids informing Headcase the cyborg nodded to machine, looking over to the side to another part of the droids crates. He saw several pieces of explosives attached to it, taking his chance he flicker his wrist bringing over a small explosive to him.

Quackers: "Crystals like these shouldn't be used for war."

Telling himself seeing that in the hands of these machines, nothing good would come them. He would rather preserve them to the ground then let them be share by warmongers. Setting the timer for ten minutes, he focuses on floating it to that of one of the large drill engines. Luckily he made sure it wasn't visible in sight, looking over at how many droids there are he had to go right for Headcase. However he noticed from the side of the place was Sionver, still cloaked as well blinking to him gesturing she was near the crystals.

"Got to give her credit, she is brave."

Thinking to himself as she checked out from the shadows of which diamonds they were going after, Quackers kept out of sight going to follow where Headcase was heading off to while for Sionver. Saw another cart full of crystals, she decided to check them out while staying close out of sight as well quickly takes a piece. Heading over to a nearby rock that was able to keep her hidden, she pulled out a small scanner as Boll looked at the crystal.

Sionver Boll: "Not strong enough, I need to find.."

Looking over to where the drill was cracking to the diamond, raising up to the large like rock she could see that of a large like energy resource for the portal. The only issue was it was to big, she only hope there was a way to get one piece of it so they could use it as well get out of here before they get caught.

In the deeper caverns

Walking towards the possible droid made access tunnel where whatever it was leading, must have been special for Headcase to be heading towards. Straighten his brown jacket as well continuing his walk, he felt his throat quenching along with that whatever was going on he felt it was off. Cracking his hands he looked more to feel something was off, he began hearing that of a clicking like sound as well saw a shadow near the floor. Walking to it more, he happen to see that of a darken like crystal which was a type of green with a mixture of blue. Looking at how the crystal showed it's reflection, he could tell this had to be the one he needed to get the portal operational.

Quackers: "This is the one."

Looking rather excited, he just needed one piece as well had to figure out a way to get it out. However, before he could try and take a moment of the thoughts of how he could use it to get his friends home. He heard the thrusting sound of metallic like arms heading right at him, ducking towards the side he saw that of the cyborg looking downwards at the duck. Red eyes gleaming along with having that of some attachments to him, on his right arm he saw a prototype of his diamond like right arm.

Headcase: "Apologies for the dramatic entrée, but with witnessing something this marvelous. It be right for the moment, especially showing my new arm."

Explaining how he wasn't like a assassin, taking a better look at the diamond he saw small droids trying to drill the sides of the diamond to extract it.

Quackers: "Making it another piece of your part, trying to protect that brain. No matter what parts you attach your body, it'll fall."

Doubting how that the more he would want to put more parts on his body to survive, they would crumble seeing how his intentions with them as well aiding Evil would lead to destruction. Standing on his two feet, he looked to the side of the droids as he quickly gets a hold of them as well throws about three of them at him. Headcase, back hands the small drill droids as they were destroyed by the new arm he had. Flexing his fingers, he chuckled as he shoots out some metallic tendrils from the side of his left side. The duck rushed away from it as they came at him like snakes, stopping them using most of his psionic strength. He saw how Headcase gripped his new right hand, it suddenly changed to that of a diamond based ball and chain.

Headcase: "Unless you make the right adjustments, it will last. You? Will not."

Stating the obvious as he swings it right at the duck scientist, moving across the area he quickly kept avoiding the flying ball. Checking out a nearby rock, he levitates it and hurls it at Headcase seeing how he was putting most of his attention on him. The glowing green rock flying straight towards Headcase, he ducks from the side as he saw how it crumbled. Making the several rocks fly right at Quackers, he used them like if they were fists as he punches him left to right making the cyborg move back.

Quackers: "You should try out that test, when this place is buried."

Which The cyborg was able to figure out that someone as dull as the duck would stop this project, however he was able to see a bit of something more then stopping him. Stopping the assault of flying rocks, he does a powerful fist slam to the ground causing Quackers to lose his balance for Headcase to hurl his tendrils at him sending the duck upwards as well hitting him across the wall.

Headcase: "I thought, someone as smart as you would bring your animal friends. Apparently, that's not the.."

Before he could continue to gloat, the cyborg could hear a explosion going off from the side. He looks up seeing that of the droids trying to shoot at someone as well the droids trying to avoid getting crushed. He groaned upset as Quackers pulled out a small EMP like device, placing it on him he could feel how it was wounding his body. To which he goes on his knees, Quackers quickly tried to grab a piece but the rocks were coming down on him unable for him to focus. Looking at Headcase, the cyborg was making his escape to a exit where he couldn't be taken. Quackers was going to purse him but couldn't seeing how all of this was going down on him, running back to the other part he saw Sionver on that of a hovering type of transportation.

Sionver Boll: "This place won't hold for to long."

Warning him as the duck rushed right into the ride as they quickly rode out of the area, the diamonds around them were crushing battle droids as well destroying the drills. Driving out of the entrée, the two flew right out where they could see a lot of fire coming right out as it sent them right onto the surface of the planet. Looking shocked at how they escaped that death trap, they looked to the side where they saw that of Headcase's ship making it's escape. Looking downwards they saw most of the rocks covering the crack in the ground along with it unable to be entered again, the two felt a bit tired from it as they felt like this was troublesome.

Quackers: "I'm starting to get that annoying feeling, of letting my mind get distracted by mad men. It's blinding me, quite a bit."

Sionver Boll: "I could understand that, which is why. I got this."

Answering him as well pulling out a medium size crystal chunk for them, the duck looked shocked at how it was almost the right size he was looking for. Pulling out a scanner, he looked over the crystal as he smiled at this was the right one for the portal. He smiled as he quickly enough hugs her, this sudden action made Sionver merely gasp a bit at this sudden attraction as she could feel his feathers close to her. His eyes widening to what he was doing, he let's go seeing how that was out of the ordinary.

Quackers: "Sorry, not exactly appropriate."

Quickly apologizing seeing that he wasn't exactly like this, but Sionver boll accepted it while trying to not blush as well. Seeing how that she never got a hug like that before, taking a moment to enjoy the small victory they quickly head to their ship where they would head back to Coruscant as well continue on the portal for the wild force to head back home.
