Chapter one:
Corellia: Streets
~Two years later ~
The Vong were growing more and more powerful, six systems had already fallen under their control and they continued capturing and destroying, no one had been able to stop them. Marian walked down the sparsely populated narrow streets of Corellia, unnoticed by all that dare to travel them. She wore a scarlet jumpsuit hidden under her black trench coat. She carried no baggage and had no visible weapons for her metallic belt held every thing she needed. Her green visor covered her eyes, she had never fancied being recognized. Her path began to weave deeper and deeper in to the under belly of the planet, were even fewer dared to roam. The buildings began to grow darker in color and the walls seemed to swallow all that came too close. Graffiti covered the walls stating gangs to be known by all others, and threatening destruction to the rest. But Marian paid no attention, no one around here did.
Corellia: Maskers Club
Soon she reached her destination, a place that lay so deep in the shadows no one would suspect it was there unless they were looking for it, and even then. The club had only one entrance and only one mark of identification and only members would know where to look. Marian had made sure the place looked as run down as possible, so naturally she hadn't touched it, on the outside anyway. She walked around to the side of the building and carefully scanned the blank wall. The mark was even hard for her to find, but that was the point wasn't it. She at last found it, a miniature white mark on the wall. She carefully pressed her index finger again the tiny mask, identical to the one on the cuff of her trench coat, and the invisible door swung open. She stepped inside to survey her handy work yet again. The hallway that opened at the entryway had many hallways branching off and then off of them. Most of them lead to empty rooms and living quarters, but some lead to locked doors, security offices, and stairways. Marian didn't hesitated at which passageway to choose. The black, metallic, water like walls curved outward making the hallways feel like dark never ending cylinders. And yet the amount of light from the wall and ceiling panels left no visible shadows in any of the hallways or rooms. She followed the twisted corridors until she at last entered a giant office. There were two exits leading from the room, one lead to her living quarters and the other to the security office, where the cameras in the building could be viewed. She sat at the huge but cozy black desk and switched on her holographic computer. She hacked in to her own security computer and checked the cameras. The unique interior had been designed and created by some of the galaxies best craftsmen. Who had 'mysteriously' disappeared and reappeared months later millions of light years away with thousands of credits and no memory of where they had been or how they had become so rich. Not that they were complaining. The during this time period The Bank of Corellia and banks in other star systems suddenly lost millions of credits, with no explanation and no trace of a thief. She checked the time on the view screen. Two minutes early, she quickly hacked in to The Bank of Corellia's security system then found the 'private' counsel room to witness a 'secret' meeting. Finally the counsel members filed in to the room and solemnly took their seats around the table. At last the president sat down. Marian waited, turned up the sound really loud and waited some more. Now they were just talking about advertisements, funding, and other boring things, but you could tell they had something else on their minds. The moment was coming, any second now. " Do you realize ten million dollars disappeared from our vaults in one day and we have no explanation for this crime!", a board member erupted. Marian smiled Bingo! " That much money doesn't just 'disappear' and there are only five suspects for this crime, three of which can be found in this room!", he went on. Marian leaded forward in her chair, this could get interesting. " Mr. Haler please read the suspects!" Mr. Haler turned out to be a fairly tall, skinny man, who kept fiddling with his glasses. He quickly stood up and flipped on the data sheet. " Yes, Suspect number one: Description: A human female illiterate teenager on Corellia. Name: Unknown, Location: Saint Marthyui's home for Advanced and Well Behaved Girls, Reason to Suspect: She was seen at the bank around the time of robbery. " Marian snickered, it had been so fun messing with her Bio, and even more fun to hear it being taken seriously. " What?!", A counsel member exploded, " Millions of people were at the bank at the time of the robbery! Did you just randomly pick people to consider?! This is an outrage!" Others were standing up in shock of the mistake. Some where even shouting insults and threats, all we on edge. It just couldn't get any better for the viewer on the other side. Finally every one took their seats, and the president stood. " Mr. Haler please delete that...mishap from the list and resume the reading", the president said gently but firmly. To the others he said, " With these attacks we can not afford to let one credit slip through our fingers. The investigation will continue." Then he sat again and the slightly shaken Mr. Haler read off the other suspects. After a while of protest and debates over the suspects, the meeting was finally postponed. Marian switched off the frequency and made a mental note to watch the next meeting. She then sent a preprepared message to 'Silver-eyed-hackers'. She sighed and sat back in her chair. The waiting was over.
Corellia: The Silver-eyed-hackers hideout
Slayte's silver eyes scanned the holo screen in front of her. " Ok, Jarik...The Central Computer Core of Coruscant." Furious typing sounded from the other side of the room, "Got it!" "Ten-seconds, make it rain." "It's now raining!" "Let me check on that." Slayte checked the weather conditions on the planet millions of light years away. The screen showed a news reporter standing in pouring rain. "-This is the most rainfall in a hundred years, citizens are being told to stay at home! I repeat-" " Jarik, make lighting hit in the Central Plaza!" "Ok." The news reporter continued, "The weather control system on the planet seems to be malfunctioning! We have no idea what could happen next-" Lightning hits about twenty yards away from her. "-Lightning is now striking in the Central Plaza! Evacuated the area! The system has gone haywire! Evacuate-" Tears of laughter were forming in Slayte's eyes, " Ok, cut it Jarik!" "Sure! Start this, Stop that, what are you my-" "Jarik!" "Fine! Fine, Aye, Aye! Captain SilverEyes!" Typing again sounded from the other room. "The sky is raining fire! Hail stones the size of speeders are-", the news reporter screeched. "Jarik! Stop it or-", Slayte listed off a list of threats only to be laughed at by Jarik. "Ok! Ok! Relax I just pushed the wrong key-" "Do you know the penalty for blowing up Coruscant!" "No, it's never been done before." A train of swears sounded from the other side of the room directed at Jarik, the police, and absolutely nothing. Suddenly the traumatic events abruptly ended, no logical explanation was ever found. Slayte stopped swearing and blinked, "Why'd you stop?" When she got no answer, she stood and walked to the other side of the dark room. "Jarik? Hello?" She found him bent over a binary message, concentrating furiously. " I just got this message and I've never seen anything like it! I've worked a whole minute and thirty-two seconds and I can't make heads or tails of it!" He sighed and plopped back in his chair, exasperated. Slayte frowned and pushed Jarik out of the way, she then continued to work on the message. Jarik grumbled a bit and then got up and peered over her shoulder. "I've already run every program I have and I've checked it manually, nothing." She quickly scanned over it and then attempted to backhand him, but Jarik doge with centimeters to spare. "What?!" " Idiot", she mumbled under her breath, she then proceeded to connect certain dots to each other. "Um, what are you doing?" "Connect the dots, what does it look like I'm doing?" Slayte had then complete her odd assortment of lines. The picture suddenly backed up and filled in the empty spaces. " It's a mask!" "No! It's a porcupine! What did you think it was?" Jarik was about to retort but the screen suddenly flashed and a message appeared in its place. They both quickly scanned over it. "What do you think?" Slayte asked without turning around, "Should we go?" "Yep." He left and began packing some things. "What? Just like that?" "Well it's better than staying here and being blown to bits when the Vong come." "What if they don't come? What if they skip us or some one stops them by the time they get here?" Jarik's silver eyes flashed. "What if they don't?" Jarik resumed packing and Slayte eventually followed his example. "Hey Silver! We're leaving." A blue and silver wolf-like animal pattered up. " You coming?" Silver's gold eyes flashed in a similar matter Jarik's had. "Ok! Ok! No need to get testy! We're not coming back for a while so take a good look at everything and... whatever else you do." The wolf gave Jarik a half-mocking smile and bound off. "I'd swear," Jarik muttered, "That wolf is sometimes smarted than I am." Slayte snickered. "What?" "I'm ready, " She said trying not to laugh. "Alright, let me get the equipment," he responded not noticing.
Corellia: Streets
About twenty minutes later after they packed all their things in to two little suitcases, they headed out with the 'equipment' stored in the holo case on Jarik's back. Silver suddenly appeared with something in his mouth. He dropped it in Jarik's free hand and proceeded to tread in his customary spot behind him. Jarik open the wallet, whistled, and quickly stuck in it his pocket. "How much?" Slayte asked suspiciously. "Million, easily." Slayte gasped. Jarik turned his head to Silver, "So where you get it? Counsel member, President, or billionaire?" Silver smiled evilly. " Or do I not want to know?" They continued on and three taxi rides and four hours later they were standing in front of the Maskers Club. "I think we pasted this place five times!" Jarik said of breath, "Now I only have one question." " And what would that be?" Slayte asked impatiently. "Where's the door?" Silver then took this opportunity to sit down and stare innocently at them. Jarik noticed and retorted, "I hate you." Silver smiled.
Corellia: Maskers Club
Marian sat at her desk and watched her visitors roam aimlessly through her halls. The first, Slayte had long deep red hair and was wearing a long black jacket that covered her other clothing. She looked about sixteen, the other a year older. Jarik had brown hair with a silver strip down the middle of it and was wearing a blue jumpsuit with a blaster at his hip. Both had silver eyes which was expected. The wolf, well hadn't been invited but it wouldn't be smart to tell it that. All in all they looked nothing like hackers, though the bags Jarik carried slightly gave them away, which would be perfect for this operation, if they agreed. And if they didn't, they would have to be... disposed of. Which was sad, good help was always so hard to find. They rounded another corner and now stood right outside her door. This would be a test, if they could open the door by hacking in to- The door slid open. Marian smiled as they stepped into her office. She stood. "Welcome to Maskers Club Jarik and Slayte."
Jarik plopped on his bed exhausted. He had just set up the hacking supplies in his and Slayte's rooms. She had gone off with Marian to 'watch an important meeting' and had left him with orders to set everything up. It wouldn't have been so bad if he wouldn't have gotten lost on the way to his room carrying all that stuff. Silver, who was now sitting happily in the corner on some blankets Marian had provided, had eventually come an rescued him from the identical winding corridors. Now he decided to get some sleep, work was supposed to start tomorrow.
In the morning Slayte pounded on his door. "Get up you slug! You can't sleep all day!" What a wonderful morning. Jarik slowly pulled himself up and changed clothes. When he opened his door he was greeted with a flying nutrient bar and, "Nice hair, slug! Hurry up!" Jarik growled and patted down his hair. He was not a morning person. Slayte knew this, which was the reason she did this every morning. Jarik grabbed his holo pad and followed the insulting Slayte to Marian's office, Silver patted behind him.
At Marian's office they pulled up seats around the desk and set to work. For the next few hours they pulled up files of promising candidates for the club. Marian told them to keep some of them and discard others. At last she had one that fitted her qualifications. "Jarik, send this one an invitation and Slayte find out everything you can about her." Marian updated some files on her own computer. At last she said, "I'm going out for a while. Make sure you give Keriana a warm welcome." "Sure, easy for you to say," Jarik muttered as her reread her history. Marian smiled and set off to her destination.
