*The Ghost, much like any other piece of Ebonclaw tech (Bio or otherwise) is almost addictive to use over any length of time. An adept and deft people, that which they produce follows their ethics, speed over strength, focused power and layers upon layers. Selae cruised through space in the sleek and lethal ship almost for the sheer joy of it. A flick of fingers, a twitch of an arm sent the ship into acrobatic maneuvers befitting a the smallest and fleetest of fighters. Amidst her loops the beep of the encrypted comm-link shakes her from her reverie*
Attention Commander Raviel, by order of the Matron set course to Ankus System.

*She intercepts the message after parting from her flag ship to go off and do her own business. She hopes Raviel did his job the right way as she opens the comm.*
Of course, Jabress, I am changing course now.
*She waves her hand and changes course for the Ankus System.*

*With the Ankus system well away from her current location it will take Selae time to cross the reaches of space safely to get there. The Ghost soars like a shooting star through hyperspace.*

*She looks around the ship while looking back occassionally to make sure she is still on course wondering if Rav left some clothes in here. If she was lucky he did...if not, then there would be some problems. She pulls off the helmet and goes back to the back as the ship continues to careen on course. She starts opening compartments finally finding a flight suit of his. She smiles.*
"Good ol' Raviel. Smart man. Very smart."
*She pulls out the satchel containing the suits and puts on the biosuit of Rav. She then quickly works to pull on his flight suit and stuffs the satchel back into the secret compartment she had hidden in earlier. She goes back to the pilot seat only to see the helmet there. She wonders if she should keep it out or not.*
"No, better make this look as realistic as possible."
*She takes the helmet storing it in the compartment with the rest of Lirr's suit and then finally sits back down at the controls. She curses as she remembers now why she enjoyed Lirr's suit so much.*

******Time Passes****** * Eventually Selae arrives in the distant Ankus System. Well away from trade routes and even other systems, Ankus is little more then a frontier world. Here ne'er-do-wells and other that if it the 'scum and villany' catagory congragate and make their way. Upon enter the system Selae receives a coded transmission giving coordinates. One of the larger moons in orbit around the outer-most Gas Giant. It includes landing coordinates as well.*

*She manuevers the ship towards the moon and scans the surface entering the coordinates given to her. She sets them and The Ghost descends to the surface of the moon.*
*After landing, she turns off the engines and takes a deep breath before changing her posture and stature to that of Raviel. She then opens the ramp and steps out on the surface looking around.*

*The corrdinates leads her to a camp that's half archelogical dig and half defensive emplacement. Amidst old ruins Ebonclaw guards and troopers patrol outside walls both old and new. Picket guns watch the surrounding jungle while no less the four 'rancor-mounted' guards can be seen ripping down the near by trees to afford a clear field of fire. As the Ghost lands and Selae in her Raviel suit exits she can see at the center of the encampment someone that perhaps startles her... Lirreka herself.*

*"Raviel" makes his way towards Lirreka and stops near her putting his bow hand to his chest bowing his head.*
"Good Eventide, Illharess."

*Lirreka looks at Raviel nodding perfunctorily as she looks back to the Danthiri female dressed in scientific garb.*
"Check the north west corner of the ruins once more. The debris that the diggers have found there is promising." The scientist nods and departs as Lirreka, garbbed in one of her form-fitting pantsuits seems taller then 'Raviel' but that isn't unusual. "You made excellent time. I have need of your talents. My own grasp of the force is alas limited and Tiera is busy training Arael. Come with me." She walks off along the ruins heading towards an 'almost intact' structure that looks like an old weathered tomb. Leading 'him' in she pauses and points to a massive skeleton that has been reassembled. The beast all but dominates the chamber, its wingbones spreading wide it's fang filled maw gaping towards the entrance. "What do you 'feel' from that?"

*She walks closer to the skeleton looking it over carefully and puts a hand to her jaw. Her biosuit clad hand reaches out to lightly touch the bones and her eyes close reaching through the Force. The eyebrows furrow as the hand pulls back. "Rav's" head shakes.*
"That can't be right. How can a Krayt dragon fully developed be here? Unless, the owner or caretaker of this tomb sought to protect something here."
*She turns to face Lirreka again.*

"Indeed. When my survey crew did a sweep of this system, these ruins were discovered. A probe-droid was sent down as standard proceedure and it found this. The Dragons of this galaxy as you know are of interest to me and this out of place behemoth was a mystery that called to me." She removes from her pocket small bones and pieces of bones Dxun dragon, Arkanis, and this a species thought long extinct from the desert planet of Tatooine. What could bring such diverse beasts together? A conundrum in a riddle wrapped in an enigma." She looks to Raviel again as if waiting a response.

*She turns away and paces back and forth a little putting her hand to her jaw again.* "Such dragons are often drawn by a strong presence of force....yet dragon eggs were long sought after by those willing to pay the highest amounts...."

*She smiles like a fox who has just seen the rabbit it wants to pounce on.*
"Speaking of dragon eggs..." She purrs and reaches out to use a bit of wind to gust off a cloth from a box at the side of the table beneath the skeleton. Within the box are not one four dragon eggs each in some odd contraption that seems as old as some of the pieces of metal 'Raviel' saw being looked over by the technicians. "Living, viable dragon eggs... Kept in some kind of stasis by a technology I do not recognize which brings me to why I called you here. These eggs are more valuable then anything else I've come across here so far. They need to be taken to the Compound on Myrkr as carefully as possible. With your ships bio-core should the stasis devices turn out to be fed energy from some local source you can supply the energy to protect them until you reach Myrkr."

*"Raviel" walks over to the contraption wide eyed looking at the eggs.*
"Illharess, do you know how long these eggs have been kept in stasis?
*He reaches out a hand to touch one when he stops suddenly and turns back to Lirreka. He puts one hand to his chest and bows to her.*
"As you wish, Illharess. I am your humble servant."

*She smiles slightly*
"If I am reading things correctly since before the schism of the First Order. Yes that old. I know not if they are viable still but I will not risk testing them here int he field. Get them to Myrkr with all haste, tell no one of what you carry. Fail me in this and I will become most...cross with you, Raviel." She furrows her brow as she looks at him to 'drive home' her point.
