It would be coming soon\u2026any second now\u2026darkness gave way to a vision, muddled and wavering, it would come from\u2026there! Klux brought his saber in a downward arc to the left, the blue blade slicing through the air with a hiss. Pain exploded in his left shoulder and he staggered back, tripping over a rise in the landing pad and dropping with a thud onto his rear. His saber dropped to the ground beside him, shutting down before it touched the duracrete. Laughter echoed through the bay and he snatched the blindfold from his eyes. Vic stood about 5 meters away picking another Galdda fruit from the bag. Behind him A\u2019sok howled in amusement and Baal sat cross-legged on the ground watching intently. \u201CYeah, that was real funny, you about dislocated my shoulder that time Vic\u2026\u201D Klux said, rubbing the whelp that was rising under his skin. Vic looked up and took a bite of the ripe red fruit. \u201CMaybe I\u2019m the one that should be wearing the blindfold,\u201D he said smiling. Klux shook his head and bent to pick up his saber. It had sustained no damage when it hit the unyielding bay floor, which was a relief\u2026he didn\u2019t like having to fix his saber all the time. As he approached the group, A\u2019sok was just wrapping up his latest anecdote. \u201CSo I had to bunk with these guys in this old cave for like, a few MONTHS\u2026and this is the type of stuff they did\u2026day and night\u2026\u2019Klux you aren\u2019t in tune with the Force, Klux open your mind to the future but keep it on the present\u2019\u2026I thought I was going to go out of my mind!\u201D A\u2019sok finished, and turned a lopsided grin towards Klux. Klux was grinning as well. \u201CRight, and we got to listen to you go on and on about how bored you were too, and let me tell you, THAT wasn\u2019t irritating. Noooo\u201D he said, dropping onto the boarding ramp of the Skullduggery and taking his tunic off. He placed it at his feet and began to inspect the damage. A red whelp had come up on his shoulder and in two other spots on his chest. Klux ran a light finger over them, slowly letting the Force make its way through his body and relieving the slight discomfort. \u201CHit three times but you took down at least twice that many,\u201D Baal said from next to him. The large cat had turned now and was watching Klux with large green eyes. Klux shrugged. \u201CYeah, but if they were blaster bolts I would still be Bantha Poodo.\u201D \u201CI can guarantee that the stormies on De\u2019Jer Prime won\u2019t be throwing fruit my friends,\u201D Jax said, emerging from the side of the Skullduggery and leading a tech crew. He was dressed in a more traditional military uniform now, a pair of jungle khakis and long sleeved tan shirt. The rebel cell leader struck an imposing figure while at the same time appearing slight, and relatively unthreatening. Klux didn\u2019t need the Force to know there was more to Jax Sheba\u2019 than what he allowed to show on the surface. Vic, still facing towards the entrance of the cavern, tossed the red fruit out of the bay and watched it disappear over the edge, falling somewhere into the dense jungle below. Tierfon Station was located in a small mountain that jutted up from the jungle canopy like an island amidst a green ocean of leaves. The entire planet, which, to Klux\u2019s knowledge, had no real name, was primarily forests and mountain ranges\u2026a prefect place for rebels to hide. \u201CIs this the team that\u2019s gonna check the sensor mask?\u201D Vic asked. Klux watched him lick fruit juice from his thumb and casually drop his hand to his sidearm. The sensor mask, as Vic had described it, was a unique piece of technology that would hide the presence of a ship from other ships. Invaluable, Klux thought, but insignificant compared to the power of the Force. \u201CThat\u2019s correct\u2026.we have had some trouble in the past with the mask\u2019s calibrations\u2026our techs should fix that problem,\u201D Jax said as the team made their way to the boarding ramp. \u201CYa wanna move so we can get by chief?\u201D one of the techs asked. A sense of irritation washed over Klux and he pulled his attention from Vic and saw that the man was addressing him. \u201DUh, yeah, sorry\u201D Klux said standing and grabbing his tunic. \u201CHang on!\u201D Vic called to the crew. They stopped and threw a bored look back at him. \u201CTen spot! Get out here!\u201D Vic yelled towards the open hatch. A moment later Vic\u2019s new armorer droid, Ten Spot, shouldered past Klux and hovered out into the bay. \u201CYes?\u201D his metallic voice crackled and Klux could almost swear the droid cocked his domed head as he spoke. Vic walked up to him and motioned towards the tech team. \u201CThese guys are just going to do some work inside and I didn\u2019t want you getting in their way.\u201D The droid hovered Klux realized, just above eye level with Vic said nothing for a moment. \u201COh; really?\u201D Ten Spot replied. A\u2019sok let out a snort of laughter and played it off as a cough. Baal eyed the droid suspiciously and Klux waited for the explosion of obscenities most sentients would spit at a mouthy droid. Vic smiled that, \u201CI\u2019m amused but you are two seconds away from getting shot\u201D smile and put his hand on the droid\u2019s shoulder. The droid looked at the hand and slowly back to Vic. \u201CYeah\u2026.really\u201D Vic said, continuing to smile. The droid looked around at the others, at Klux, who just shrugged, and back to Vic. \u201CI could always do some uh\u2026checks\u2026on the \u2026ship\u2019s hull plating...\u201D the droid stammered. Vic smiled and brightened a bit, allowing just a bit of the smile to reach his eyes this time. \u201CGreat idea!\u201D he said and gently pushed the droid off towards the rear of the ship. Jax suppressed a smile of his own and gestured towards the interior of the base. \u201CIf that\u2019s all taken care of we do have a mission briefing gentlemen\u2026and beings.\u201D A\u2019sok fell in next to Vic and began going on about De\u2019jer Prime and where it might be. As Klux pulled his tunic back on Baal stepped in next to him the pain was gone now and some of the swelling had even receded. \u201CI do not trust droids,\u201D Baal said in a low voice, which came out almost like a growl. His eyes were still following Ten-Spot who had hovered around the back of the ship. Klux looked up at the 7-foot tall cat and smiled. \u201CThey aren\u2019t so bad; Two-E has never given me any trouble.\u201D Baal pulled his eyes from the droid and looked down at Klux smiling. \u201CYet,\u201D he said with a toothy grin."@en .
