The Package (Closed)

[Triune]

*He gets back to his feet and smiles at her before turning to the door across from the lift, pulling off his glove again he places his hand against the pannel beside it, the door beeps and slides open.*

"Well Inque considering you are Adesia's best friend I suppose I should defer to you instead of treating you like a recuit." He bows allowing her to enter the now open door first should she wish.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She laughs and walks into the room ahead of him. Her body is relaxed and focused. She is alert to whatever might happen.*

[Triune]

*Lights come on automatically, within the room are smaller vats, some no bigger then a hand, others about the size of a coffin. No one is in here but the vats all bubble constantly, Terminals and consoles are visible here and there but there are also larger bio-organic units that pulsate like large hearts.*

"Here is one of many places that the Ebonclaw Technists create bio-suits... some for battle armor lining, others for... well I'm sure you realize what the other uses are for... What does seeing this room tell you?"

*He walks past her into the heart of the room leaving her relatively alone by the vats albeit he is not far off.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She walks through the room looking at the various vats amazed at what has already been created. She starts thinking of a plan....but wonders how to carry it out. She turns back to Rav but keeps her distance.*

"What is your purpose in showing me this? Is it to strike fear? I don't fear any of you. Is it to show how powerful you are? Even the strongest have a weakness. No, you've shown me for another reason."

*She walks up to him standing right before him looking him in the eyes menacingly.*

"You wouldn't betray your own kind....

[Triune]

*Raviel doesn't back up from her even though there is an almost instinctual urge to defer to a Danthiri Female. He meets her menace with serenity, proving one more time that he's an odd Danthiri*

"You still aren't thinking things through. What this room represents is knowledge. The Danthiri have eyes and ears in every part of the Republic, nay the Known Galaxy. Innocuous agents wearing the forms that no one even looks twice at. Think young Jalil, how many faceless functionaries mill around the court of Onderon? How many pages fill the halls of the Galactic Senate? How many guards on how many bases throughout the Trade Alliance? Here is evidence that far more then Tiera and myself haunt the halls of your civilizations watching, learning, listening... V'timus Omnia We see All. Knowledge is power..." He smiles at her words.

"What the Second Rule?" He asks her abruptly.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Knowledge is nothing unless you use it. Power is using that knowledge, jaluk."

*She walks away from him pointing at the vats. She speaks to him in her normal voice her temper rising.* "You can fool the common person, but it is not so easy to fool one in the Force. The cards are stacked against you. Your kind will fall or be forced to retreat back to where you came from."

[Triune]

"Force users can be fooled as easily as common folk. The force provides them with extra senses but not flawless interpretation. As for Decks, they are always stacked against us but still we find victory. You see my dear Inque we have one thing as a people that all others lack... time." He sighs and walks from her, to the bio-core console, he types in something almost too quick to see as he examines the data displayed on the small screen.

*The vats bubble and froth, the segments of bio-creations float in the soupy liquid before her. faces and torsos almost become visible before fading into the obscuring foam*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She watches his movements carefully and tries to learn the code but is unable to. She watches with sick fascination at the hands, torsos and faces. She looks at him again questioningly.*

[Triune]

*He continues to imput information and checking data. Though he doesn't turn around he smiles slightly*

"What questions have you dear Inque?"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"What else is here? Where is Arael?"

[Triune]

*He turns in the chair to look at her that smug smile on his face.*

"There are a variety of training levels above and below us, several data cores, the Habitat level of course... You must keep in mind this is a small facility comparitively. As for Arael she is safe. Despite your anger for her the Matron is an excellent mother. Considering the anger your daughter feels towards you it would be best for her that you dont' meet. At least not yet."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*While he talks she looks at the faces one more time. She gasps and turns to him pulling out her saber from her boot and igniting it.*

"Why is Selae's face there? You are treading through very very thin water, Raviel"

[Triune]

*He stands walking to the vat, he removes the fleshly hood with chestnut brown hair plastered against it. He holds it out for her to see, slack-jawed, empty eye sockets.*

"Do you begin to see now, Inque? Do things become clearer?"

*He drops it back into the vat.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

"Why you little...."

*She charges at him swinging her blade powerfully towards his midsection.*

[Triune]

*Raviel proves to be in a very bad spot for this, his instincts kick in too quickly before his mind remembers his location, He goes to move back and slams against the vat not a foot behind him, the tip of her blade slices across his mid-section, his armor though light is stronger then most and blunts the majority of damage but still his ebon midriff is scored by her blade, he lunges away to the side crashing into the chair sprawling on the floor half-dazed. Ultimately looking unlike the lithe panther he normally can be.*
