Chapter 2
Darth Maul was just returning to his ship when a beep sounded from his wrist-pad. He looked down to see what the reason for the beep was. He accelerated his customized swoop-bike to its top speed and was at the location of the ship in seconds. He used a remote to uncloak it and to extend the ramp.
The bike came to a stop just inches from the back wall of the cargo bay, but by this time Maul was nowhere to be seen.
Maul bowed in front of the holo-projector on the bridge of the Scimitar and activated the controls with the Force. A hooded figure appeared.
"I have a new mission for you, my young apprentice."
"Yes Master, what is your bidding?"
"The Neimoidians are transporting some cargo for me; I want you to keep an eye on it."
"It will be done Master."
But before Maul had finished, the holo-image of his Master was gone.
He stood up, about to prepare the ship for departure when a console on the left hand side of the bridge beeped, but he continued to prepare the ship. This only took about ten standard minuets.
When he was finished he set the auto-pilot for take-off, and programmed it to park the ship in geo-synchronous orbit over the north magnetic pole- this would mask the ship from a bounty hunter Maul knew was following, without wasting power with the cloak.
Once the auto pilot was set, he sat down at the console which had beeped. He had received three data files on his new mission.
"Play files zero-zero-nine, zero-one-zero, and zero-one-one, in my quarters. Play speed times five, and repeat," he commanded the voice controlled computer, after a quick scan through the files.
He set the auto-pilot to intercept the Neimoidian ship, then went to his quarters
Maul enjoyed meditating (well, as much as a Sith Lord can enjoy anything). It made him feel closer to the Force. He meditated now, as his ship sped towards Coruscant, and he would meditate for the whole journey, letting the audio files enter his highly developed brain and be analyzed, much quicker and more efficiently than if he were to study them manually. By the time he reached his target he would know everything about them, possibly, even more than they even knew about themselves!
