Nightwraith: Demon Adrift (open)

[Xais'fir]

~An explosion in the starboard engine knocked the Nightwraith out of hyperspace, sending it into an nearly uncontrolable spin as it hurtles through the Nar Shadaa system. This was the closest it had managed to get from Rinn, before it finally succumbed to the wounds it recieved from the Sentinel when it was destroyed. Engine plasma along with what was considered its 'blood' trailed behind the small vessel as it floated adrift, its regenerative ability trying desperately to heal itself but it was a very slow process. Its pilot, Xais'fir, layed unconcious in the cargo hold, still recovering from his encounter with the Jedi Knight on board the Interdictor ship and was unable to help at all.

The comm system was still operational and the ship opens a link on a nearly unknown, coded channel, calling for help, though it would sound like a cry from a wounded animal the person recieving the message would hear who it was from and know that the source and its master were desperately in need of aide. Subsequently the vessel's homing beacon would be activated, alerting any Ebonclaw ships within range that there was a friendly in danger and required assistance.

Having sent its distress signal the Nightwraith merely waited, it's cloaking device was offline and the damage done to the hull was too extensive for it to use its natural Chameleon Cloak, weapon systems were offline as was its deflectors, helpless for the most part as it slowly drifts closer to the world of Nar Shadaa~

*Once the Jedi's Light arrives in the Corscant system Syryy is taken to a shuttle to transport her to the Jedi Temple on the surface on the planet. While the Jedi's Light is waiting for the shuttle to return they recieve a signal that was picked up by a deep space signal boye. Once it is recieved Sergent Marcus begins work on it and trys to translate the strange message.*
"Mr Marcus what does this signal say? Is this another rescue mission?"
"Yes Sir but it doesn't seem for us."
"What do you mean? "
"I think Sir that this is a signal from a Ebonclaw ship that is damaged in the Nar Shadaa system."
*This seems to pick up Adamis's interest.*
"Set a course there for as soon as the shuttle is back aboard. If we can capture a Ebonclaw ship intact and possibly its crew we may gain a big advantage if we ever have to face them in battle!"
*Once the shuttle is aboard the ship, the Jedi's Light sets off towards the system to see if it can get it's hands on a Ebonclaw ship.*

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*Once the Jedi's Light arrives in system, it begins to scan for the damaged Ebonclaw vessal and once it has been found they begin to make their way towards the floating ship.*
"Once we are within range, lock the tractor beam onto it and pull it into the security docking bay. I want a full security team on standby when it is pulled in as well as the team that will investigate the ship. When the all clear has been given and anyone inside is safely under lock and key, I want to see that ship for myself before intergating its crew. Also stay on guard up here as well. We don't know who else recieve that SOS. There is no telling who might turn up!"
*The Jedi's Light begins to bear down on the small ship.*

[Xais'fir]

~The Nightwraith immediately detected the Jedi's Light the moment it left hyperspace and desperately tried moving away. Under normal circumstance the 'wraith would have no problems escaping its pursuer, but given the extent of the damage it's recieved that was a slim chance now. The wounded craft managed to alter its course towards the planet of Nar Shadaa, under the power of one engine and even that at only half strength as another, more urgent cry is sent out across that same coded channel with more focus. This one would arrive almost immediately after the first and would tell the recipient about the vessel chasing it. The vessel had managed to repair a little of itself, having focused on mostly the hyperdrive it now changed that to the cloaking device it recently integrated into its systems.

This however would take far longer than the bio-tech ship would have time for as the Jedi's Light easily overtakes the smaller craft. Cutting power to its operational engine the 'wraith activates its weapons systems, the triple-blasters, fire-linked ion cannons and even the torpedo launcher coming online, though the first two were only at half capacity. Desperate to keep from being taken teh ship opens fire on its pursuer ship, the proton torpedoes likely being the only thing to be a threat though it manages to only fire one when the tractor beam from the Light snags it.

The Nightwraith keeps firing until it's brought into the Jedi Light's security bay, having decided to focus its efforts on sealing itself to keep anyone from entering it. Those trying to enter would find that there were no entry points, it would not be an easy task to get into the 'wraith of that it was sure, a point made evn more potent when several anti-personel repeating blasters lower from the hull to open fire on the awaiting security detail and anyone else who tried to get close. the ship was protective of it's unconioous master who layed within its hold and would do everything it could to keep them out.

*From the bowels of Hyprespace erupts an Ebonclaw battle group of four En'kiira-class heavy cruisers and 5 vorcia-class light cruisers. Leading them and the last out of Hyperspace is another En'kiira Heavy Cruiser but this one unlike the other four is jet black moving like a ripple across the sable backdrop of space. They all begin powering up weapons systems, the spinal mounted Vorcias taking the lead as they all thrust towards the Jedi Light and the captured Ebonclaw vessel to cut off hyperspace vectors. A clip, stern female voice trills through the an open comm channel.*

******COMM LINK******

"Attention Jedi Light. You have aboard your vessel an Ebonclaw ship. Kindly release it so we can take it aboard for repair. Failure to do this will be seen as a hostile action and we will open fire. Attempt to flee and we will fire. I know well the reputation of the Light and have taken it into consideration when putting together this Group. Don't turn this into a battle."

******COMM LINK******

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*As the Nightwraith is being pulled into the docking bay Adamis watches its attempt to evade capture.*
"Looks like someone is still alive and kicking in that thing. Have the security detail be on there toes for anything. There is no telling who or what could be inside!"
*When the Nightwraith is docked the security had taken up defensive positions but that did not stop half of them from being cut to ribbons by the repeating blasters that lower out of the craft. After a short fire fight and 6 dead security personal, the team manages to destroy the blasters and are able to search the outside of the ship for a entry. When they do not find one they com the bridge to ask what to do next.*
"Ummm Captain Adamis, we can't find a door. We have searched the whole ship and can find no entry what-so-ever. How are we suppose to get in without a door."
"What do you mean there is no door!?! There has to be! Someone just fired those guns didn't they, and the lifeform scan idenified two beings inside! How did they get in without a door!?!"
"I don't know sure but we have several men who are experts at finding secret doors go over the entire ship and they can't find a thing."
"Well then cut into the hull to get into the ship! Listen I'm on my way down there now. Try to get through before I get there. I want to see the inside of this thing first hand."
*As Adamis goes to storms out of the bridge and towards the docking bay he sees the attack group come out of hyperspace and then listens to the com message.*
"Mr Marcus get me a line to the lead ship. I need to talk to them now!"
"Yes Sir"

******COMM LINK******
"Ebonclaw vessals this is Captain Adamis of the Jedi's Light. I'm afraid I cannot do what you ask. For all I know you could have been the attack group to damage this ship and it somehow got away from you. How can I possibly sentence the two people inside to their deaths by you. I'm afraid if you want a battle then that is what you are going to get. This ship is my responsiblity now! Adamis out!"
******COMM LINK******

[Triune]

******COMM LINK******

Attention Jedi Light, You lack the facilities to heal the ship in question it is alive, repeat Alive. Any attempt to enter it by standard means will cause it to attack, further damage to the vessel will result in its death and the death of its pilot. You are a Jedi Captain Adamis, you can certainly feel its lifeforce. Only Ebonclaw technists can repair the injuries. If it dies its deathcry through the force will at this range kill you and half the crew aboard your ship, at the very least let I an a group of technists board your vessel, we are willing to come unarmed if we have your assurance that we have safe passage to and from your vessel. I can determine from here the vessel is in agony. It hasn't much time left Captain. Will you sit by and let a living thing die or will you let us do what we are trained to do.

******COMM LINK******

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*Adamis thinks for a moment before replying, considering the thought of Ebonclaw personal getting a good look at the inner workings of his ship. He can sense that most of what she says is true but can sense a dangerous gam being played out, one where the prize for losing could be death!*

******COMM LINK******
"Ebonclaw vessal. I will allow one shuttle craft to come aboard with only mechanics or whatever you call them and one pilot. You will be under strict guard the entire time you are onboard, you will allow some of my mechanics to assist you and observe and I will personally over-see your work. If you make one slip up, by attacking one of my men your people's lives will be forfet. The ships in your fleet will remain at there current positions. If they make any attempt to advance your people on my ship will be arrested and taken as prisoners. Once this is all over the owner or pilot of this ship will decide what he wants to do, and if that means coming with myself and the Jedi's Light then you must allow him or her to do so. Understood!"
******COMM LINK******

[Triune]

******COMM LINK******

"Those terms are acceptable, though there will be nothing your mechanics can do but watch. Captain we will be there as soon as the shuttle can leave. Shroud out."

******COMM LINK******

*In short order a shuttle craft leaves the bay of the Shroud and flies towards the Jedi Light. Once given premission to dock the vessel does so. Out of it walk five women dressed i sleek ash grey pantsuits, one, the leader stands wears a patch over one eye. After them is the Pilot.*

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*Adamis is at the docking bay to meet the shuttle with a full security team, just in case.*
"Hello ......eh...... ladies. Please come this way. Watch your step but nothing else please. And do remember that you are my guests on this ship and as your host I have the right to kick you out if I think you are up to something that could harm myself, my crew, my ship or the damaged ship you will be working on."
*Adamis begins to lead the women towards the ship itself. 2 security personal fall into step next to each woman and 4 guards take up posts outside the Ebonclaw shuttle.*

[Triune]

*The ladies do not offer bows or other signs of politeness but are not rude either. They follow along behind the one-eyed woman and the Helmeted pilot brings up the rear. They occasionally speak in their own tongue to one another but very little else takes place on the trip to the bay. The closer they get the deeper the furrowed brow becomes on the one-eyed woman.*

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*Once they arrive at the ship there are a number of security personal standing around the ship and five men standing in a row. Adamis stops in front of the row of men and spins on his heels and looks back at the women and waits until they have formed into a group before he speaks.*
"This is the ship that we took in. When we first brought it onboard in dropped two repeater blasters down and tried to kill my men. They had to destroy the blasters to get near the ship. You have free rein on he ship but one of my mechanics will go with each of you and observe and help as best they can. They are there to help and to make sure you do not harm the ship any more. If they believe you are doing so they have been told to stop you, come get me and you can make a case to me as to why you were doing what you were doing. Also if any of the security men feel threatened at anytime, they will ask you to stop what they are finding threatening, if you do not they will warn you again and if you do not stop then you will be shot, if not killed. If one of you attacks my men out-right then you will all be killed or taken prisoner. Understood?"

[Triune]

*The One-eyed woman relays Adamis' words in her native tongue to her companions whom nods and offer something to her which she doesn't translate, she then turns to face Adamis*

"These terms are acceptable along as your men do not endanger the vessel further. It is injured and scared, like any creature it lashes out. We will need to calm it before we can approach otherwise it will produce more offensive weaponry. The Pilot inside is safe as long as the ship does not deteroriate further. If there is nothing else Captain we will now attend to our patient." She looks to her sisters and speaks softly, The four women circle the ship at a distance of no closer then ten paces. Each pause as one then take a seat on the deck. They bow their heads and begin singing. Harmonic sounds rather then words, each one disconcerting but somehow fitting the rest. The One-eyed woman and the Pilot look on.

[Xais'fir]

~The Nightwraith had remained silent during the goings on in the space and the vessel around it, doing its best once the attempts to board it had ceased, to repair itself, reaching out desperately to communicate with its pilot, with Xais'fir to awaken him, so he could at least be able do protect himself should the ship fail in that task but it was for naught. It would likely take some time for him to recover from the strain, and pain of consuming the Jedi on the Sentinel. Eerie crys of pain echoed throughout the Jedi's Light and the Force from the wounds the Nightwraith was trying to heal, a sound that would make all but the strongest of will to at least tremble from it. The injured ship senses the Ebonclaw battle group and the shuttle of technists sent to aide it, bringing with it some relief yet it's unknown and hostile, to it, surroundings kept it on edge, even as the women begin their song.

It took quite some time, but eventually the song serves to soothe and calm the wounded vessel, taming it to let out a cry, mimicing the song to show its complacency. It would allow itself to be approached but it was still cautious and the loading ramp lowers, along with another six repeating blasters that just seem to grow from its hull. It would only allow Ebonclaw to enter, as the technists would know from its cry and would open fire with expert precision on anyone other than an Ebonclaw that tried to go within the Nightwraith, though it would allow them to observe the technists in their healing uncontested. It only wanted to keep them from going inside itself.

Oddly though, which may have gone unnocticed by those present, the 'wraith had slowly been 'eating' away at the deck it rested on, the materials it absorbed helping to keep it alive this whole time though that was about all it did do~

[Kentos Fey’lya / Adamis]

*Adamis watched the women do their little sing-along while he took a chance to take a look at these Danthiri of the Ebonclaws. He had never seen one before and had only heard bits and pieces about them other than that they were a force to be respected if not feared. This living tech that they seem to use was amazing but could flesh ever truely be stronger than steel when it came to things such as space travel and battles? Adamis probed both the women and the vessal with the force trying to get an idea of how the force affected them and how they affect it. After some time Adamis thought the women were wasting their time with the singing until a boarding ramp appeared and lower. How had his crew missed that? Was it possible that the ship had somehow hidden it even from extremely well trained eyes as he had onboard? He knew that he had to learn more and to never under estimate these Ebonclaws again.*
