Once again Mal was returning back to Montitla. The first time was very uneventful and the locals to whom he was going to see this time they were deeply in trouble. Rakghoul was back and it had taken a firmer grip upon the valley than last time. A single creature had escaped his notice and had started to spread the contagion once more. Infecting different creatures from mole rats to carrion birds.
This time Mal knew how to go about the hunting and quelling of the plague. Caribs, a flesh eating beetle, would be released with a tracker and it would hunt down the infected. Mal had also reworked some gas grenades to spray a antidote of the Rakghoul infection. Once more he had hired the bot Ryver/Taym to assist. They were very helpful and insightful as well. The others of the Dark Matter Crew stayed in orbit for back up just on the off chance that thing went wrong, so often as they did.
The trip on the interstellar sloop was calming up until the hour before landing Reina was so nervous that the Computer Co-pilot had to take over so the struts of the landing gear would not buckle. Je'Baru the leader of the crew had just shook his head and lowered the ramp. Mal along with Ryver/Taym dragged out their supplies for the incursion. Another Jedi had joined them as well. Mal had seen the Jedi around but had not the pleasure of talking with the Jedi.
The sloop lifted back into orbit and Ryver/Taym geared up the sled for transport Mal slithered over to the Jedi to try to break the tension that hung in the air.
So how long has it been since you were on a mission like this?

Xue Aodh had been asigned to assiste a fellow Jedi, deal with a not so regular plague that had striken the planet for a second time. From what Xue knew it was a variation of the regular Rakghoul plague and the Jedi who Xue was now helping had dealt with it before, although it seemed one Rakghoul scaped the Hutt eyes. Yes he had been teamed up with a Jedi Knight who was Hutt and a healer of the order, of course Mal species mattered very little for the un-Jedi looking human, who looked more like a pirate or some nefarious person than a all wise Jedi knight.
For the duration of the trip Xue kept mostly to himself, he was despite his outgoing and happy personality slightly withdrawn when it came to talking to his fellow brothers and sisters, mainly due to Xue natural proficiency with forming bonds through the force far faster than almost any force user, the other reason why Xue was mostly on his own in the temple was that some Jedi where causios around him due to this Jedi belief in the potentium, being a Jedi that used so called darker aspect of the force it was so that Xue while in the Jedi Temple rarely approached or was approached by other Jedi.
The blond Jedi knight helped the peculiar mercenary droid unload the equipment for this mission, Xue walked away and took a moment to enjoy his sorroundings sniffing the air and wathching the agriworld enviorment. He heard the Jedi healer approached him Xue turned to meet his Jedi brother.
So how long has it been since you were on a mission like this?
"Actually it's my first time doing something like this, not sure what to expect" Xue said giving a smirk to the hutt "I've never dealt with a infestation before, hehe any advice for a fellow brother?" The human spoke with his natural friendlyness
"But I can say I'm not looking forward to killing a whole population, even if they are a threat for this planet at large"

Mal gave a slight ho ho ho, in his deep baron tone voice. He knew that this mission was not going to be like the last one. Here was open space room to move and breath, but also attacks would come from every direction.
This is good your force sense will be heightened for what lays ahead. This new plague is not like most most the virus is very small and the victims lay motionless. These though will try to kill you by ripping your head off and eat it.
Slithering closer to the human Jedi with Hypo spray in hand Mal asked for the humes arm.
This will stop initial spreading of the virus but I do suggest not getting bit or scratched to much.
Hitting him with the Hypo Mal continued on.
The infected... once they turn they are no longer living beings they become a virus. A massive virus with what ever ability that person had......Remembering Taris and shivering at the thought...Hopefully for us there may not be any force powered victims here to deal with like what was at Taris. That situation went from bad to Hell. Our friend here spent the next week in a deep exo-wash just to remove the debris with in themselves. If you keep your focus and listen to the force and learn to watch for the putrid feel in the force you'll be fine.
Turning back to the sledge as it moved on toward the valley of Serenity Mal had wondered himself how bad things were going to get. He did not want to go to plan B unless no other choice was available. Plan be was to lay waste to the whole valley. Scorching it to the sub soil, so that nothing was living. If though the corporation who he had made a deal with came through with the mass production of the anti-viral, then they would give the valley a washing it would soon not forget.
The Med-back packs are loaded with gas grenades with the anti-viral. A cleanser is also in our arsenal. It will track the virals down to the last one. Those Caribs are veracious little beetles. Plus I have a few back up plans. Not to mention the infamous Plan B.
Mal laughed at that not letting it on how bad Plan B really was. So on they went to Serenity Valley.

"They don't sound all that nice, to tell the truth" Xue spoke with a mix of shock and humor, he had heard of the Rhakghoul plague and it's probable origin from the ancient Sith mages, but he hadn't study that subject fully.
"Well to tell the truth I'm quick with my feet and quicker to avoid being bitten, so I'll manage, having two legs help a lot" he said smiling at the hutt beside him, looking at it's tail "Not trying to sound rude, but how will you deal with those creepers if they get too close, are you well versed with fighting, or do you want me to stick around ya?" he said not looking down at his companion and brother, it was just concern Hutts tended to not move very fast... well there where cases of them doing amazing physical traits, but still most where not that agile or well built into combat.
Takumi followed the Hutt into the valley and laughed at the mention of a Plan B "Ah the infamuse Plan B, weell I hope is better than plan C" he said in a sarcastic manner, lightly tapping the slug shoulder.

A inbound ship flew in hovering close to the ground just fifty yards away from the two Jedi. The thrusters burning the ground and it's repulsers mashing what's left, this too gave Mal flash backs to Taris and the destruction that was rot there.
This must be the second I've been waiting for. He's just a bounty hunter, but on this mission the more the guns the better.
Mal stretched out in the force toward Serenity valley it's self and he could already feel the dying hunger of the out break. They were growing by countless numbers the more time they had to grow the harder it would be for them to quell this problem.
Speaking to Zett...Welcome to Montita and Serenity valley. The plan is to quell this plague with an antidote to snuff the disease out proper but if that fails it's to plan B. A plan I don't want to use for it involves the destruction of every living thing in the valley. So lets hope for Plan A.
And plan a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 etc, but not plan B for even the hutt it's self saw that that way was one of darkness.
Turning to Xue Aodh... Oh and be mind full of your self this work treads on the very edge of the dark side. So have in your mind that you are a antidote yourself and your mission is to cleanse the valley, even when they give you no other choice but to end their life. It is for their better well being than to exist in the state of twisted life.

"Ah looks like we have another guest" Xue cheerfully added as he saw the bounty hunter come closer. He looked eager and able enough for someone so young, The unjedi looking Xue hoped that today's event wouldn't scar to much the boy.
Xue nodded at his hutt friend words, agreeing in a sense. Xue was always mindful of the darkside but not in like most Jedi did, for this particular Jedi did not actually believed in the dark side as an entety that curropted the heart's of man, just as he did not share the same view of the light side of the force like most of his camarades. To Xue the force was just life, the dark side was the evil in people hearts just as the light side was the good in people, one could as much as they like blame de dark side for people actions. The "evil" in peoples heart was just their weakness, through the teachings of the Jedi Xue had faced his demons and defeated them for now at least. Xue was one of the few Jedi that believed fallowed the potemtium way of thinking, the force was not as simple as being the light side and dark side, the force was so much more it in every sense of the word was life, the life of the galaxy.
"I understand Mal, some times things like this are need" The human spoke as he walked next to the Hutt "I'll make sure every single living being in the valley is treated, I'm pretty good at sensing the life force of well things. This time the planet should be properly treated" he said soberly while unhooking his lightsaber from his belt and allowing it to rest in his palm.

Mal nodded his huge head with what Xue had to say. Though the Jedi did remove his saber Mal was not worried just yet. Mal started to move again toward Serenity valley. The full trip would take two hours with the slowed pace that Mal took because of the contamination. They had not yet gotten to the contamination zone when Mal could start to feel the force effect of the disease upon the ground. As they walked further into the valley Mal started to see patches of dying grasses and grasses that were being altered by the changing disease.
Slowing to examine the grasses.....It must have hit the ground water. This not good at all I'll have to stop here for a bit and drop a nano lab into the local water table. .... Hhmmmm.. that well should be near here.
Mal used his massive eyes to search out the low walled water well. Two hundred yards away to the left of where they stood. Mal told Zett and Ryver....
Watch our backs this will take about ten minutes. The Rakghoul might be around if their influence is this far out. They'll be small you remember them right Taym the squishy ones that tried to eat you from the inside out.
None would have thought that a robot could feel revulsion but Ryver/Taym visibly shook. Ryver taking over the body primed the weapons systems and checked their M-61s. As for Mal he moved the barge of equipment to the well. He maneuvered to the wells side and looked in. With unHutt like speed Mal flooded his being with force and snapped his head back and flip-rolled away from the well.
Brace yourselves one is in the well.
Mal was right for the reason why he jerked his head back laid on the rim of the well. A Six inch tongue of a rakghoul frog it flopped about, as it rose from the well. The frog was a local known frog known as a groundling with out the mutation it would normally be two to three feet long but the mutation made it grow to five to six feet. It's skin was black and purple with abnormal growths to it. It's skinalso oozed a putrid clear green slime more so than it did normally. It sat there clinging to the well's inner wall and tried to retrieve it's massively long tongue with out success.
Mal with one hand gestured to a chrome case and it floated to him soundlessly and slowly. Mal kept his senses on the frog. It seemed disorientated that is when he remembered they're night feeders. Just as he did the sun bounced off the chrome case and into the eyes of the frog. Though it's tongue still hung out of it's head the frog lashed out with it and hit the case with deadly force. A small thump could be heard from with-in the case and Mal smiled.
Mal used the force to open the case to let ten bio grenades drop from the case. One of which had been detonated and now the contents of the grenade was in the mutated frog's system.
slowly moving to the barge.....You three keep him from getting away and make sure the nanos do their job. It will take just minute or two to take affect. I'll try to get a nano lab ready to get it past it.

"Ah, lovely" Xue said as the large and slimmy toung threw it's self Xue's Hutt friend. Poor thing, the mutated frog looked more scared and stunt than anything. Xue allowed his mind to travel into the conciuss of the creature, but all he got was a twisted and pained mental response, poor things.
The Jedi knight, nodded at Mal instructions and quietly watched the giant frog, that began running and jumping inside the well, that biogranade must be taking effect. For a couple of seconds Xue watched in silence, his focus was in divided in two the rogueish looking knight eyes and insticts watched the frog while Xue "super natural" senses or the ability he had developed to some extent allowed him, Xue had a particulary developed the ability to sense the life force of the things around him, a useful trick to track down "darksiders" in large areas although it was hard to pin point the exact location unless they where really close, through Xue "Life sense" as the ability was called he could get a rough stimate of how many residents the valley had.
Xue chuckled at the number of life forces he could sense "Boy are we gonna have a long day" The human knight said as much to himself as to his Hutt friend.
Just as Mal finished his task, the giant mutated frog jumped out of the well in a desperate attempt to do something, unfortunatly for the frog Xue was ready and just as the mutated thing was flying next to Xue, the jedi knight slammed the plommel of his lightsaber between the eyes of the creature. The frog fell stunned by both the light of the sun and Xue's quick attack. Not leaving a chance for the mutant Xue boot kick the creature again in the side of the face and it tilted around and with another kick the frog was upside down with the field boot of the Jedi knight firmly pressing it in the belly and keeping it there. The frog was too helpless to do anything.

Mal looked at the bounty hunter not with his eyes alone but with the force as well, what he saw was years of hurt and anger built up toward a certain hutt. It was probably one who had held his parents or him as a slave. This was the most common thread of tales Mal had heard over the years.
You will have nothing to fear or regret when working with me. I have given up that world and way of being. The Jedi way is all that I'll .... hopefully ever know.
Mal turned back and finished off the nano lab system, but as he was going to move to the well Ryver stopped him with one arm held out in front of the hutt. Mal didn't know the droid to do this in such a calm environment. Ryver Taym slowly moved over to the ghoul toad and then back to the barge. They then opened a box and started mounting hardware to themselves. Mal could not understand way the droid was a queer thing. That is until Mal's danger sense started to ring out. He looked back at the toad the nanos were doing their job but it was to late for the toad the plague was breaking through to it's alpha form, the ghoul virus globules. Mal moved back and shouted.......
On guard! The virus is going to attack!!! Watch the globules.
With a snap hiss Mal readied his saber and then doubled the blade to it's six foot length.
As his did the belly of the toad burst open and fifteen virus globules came forth blobbing up and down like jelly fish on land. This made Mal a bit worried for to have the virus in this stage so early it was a good sign that the battle to quarantine would not go to well.
Ten of the globs headed toward them but five made for the border zone which led behind the barge. Mal hoped Ryver/Taym were ready for them. Then he heard a frroowwssshh and smelled burning grass and felt the death of the five virus. Ryver/Taym walked stoically around the barge with a modified napalm thrower on their back an the nozzle on their right hand.
Taym speaking........We are not going to spend the next three weeks in a cleaning solution because of these things.
Mal was surprised that it was the peace loving one that was using the thrower and not Ryver, that is until he saw the left arm move to their back and remove a M-61 and then shot the ghouled toad in the head. It was obvious to Mal which was doing what Ryver was moving the left arm and Taym the right.
Mal speaking......If this is not Taris all over again.

Xue jumped back with Mal warning, removing his foot from the frog belly which just in a split of a second exploded and released strange jelly slimmy balls of virus that began to bounce and roll about around the well. The Blond Jedi knight jumped back once more and drew a blaster he carried around in his black coat, he aimed and shot twice at one ball he was not a good shot but he managed somehow to get one of the infected things.
"I did not know this could happen" Xue complained, not out of distress but more of curiosity and meaby a hint of Cynicism was mixed in his voice, he truly did not the rhak goul virus to be this unpredictable. "Do they always do that?" Xue said again shooting several times at one of the balls that got a bit to close.

Zett new how the hutt figured out Zett's past. but did not have time to think about that as the hutt shouted. he jumped back as he saw the two jedi handling themselves one of the globs jumped on Zett's helmet. oh great.he tossed it off and sent two shot's into the glob but the shot did nothing. at that point he looked up to Ryver or taym as the droid started a fire and it burnt thru he glob's no problem. he looked back at his helmet grabbed it shook it Intel the glob's fell off he put the helmet back on and burnt the globs which gave him a thout... he turned on his jet pack and hoverd close to the ground and burnt the glob's that surrounded him.

The few minor globs were quelled in no time by Taym and Zett alone with Xue and Mal. Mal had started to wonder how long of a incubation time this virus had. It was obvious to Mal that things might go plan-b before he wanted them too.
These are just the starting fringe of the outbreak. There will be more and they will become more aggressive as we get closer to the first host.
Mal gathered the case he was working on and moved to the well and lowered it via the force when at the bottom he activated the internal switches and the lab came to life. Slowly at first then with greater speed the lab produced the antigen that would combat the virus.
This is point Alpha when in doubt return here. I know the weapons might take care of most of the infected but just in case this well will be the strongest place to defend from for a while till we establish other labs. If you have water flasks fill them...... here in about five minutes. This well water will be your secondary weapon of choice. So take what you can and ready yourselves.
Mal moved away from the well and removed a few sentry drones around the well that were equipped with pure antigen and sent them on patrol of a quarter mile radius. Sighing deep Mal looked toward the central area of the valley and wondered what awaited them there.

After the fight Zett removed the helmet and wiped it off. and then he went to the weapons point to get a cure rockit for his jet pack and some dart's for his wrist shooter and told the hutt of a bounty hunter by the name of Je'Baru Nagruk that also was under Marcus Foxworth. then he remembered a invite to a small mirc oporation put two and two together.they want to harvest the disease as a weapon we should keep a eye out for something to that extent.(OCC will wate for next post for rancore)

Xue closed his eyes and allowed his senses to scan the sorrounding area, he began feeling the life force all around him the immediat place was somewhat clear less than a dozen was roughly what Xue could feel. But his senses were not that acurate to give a true stimate of the number of being around him.
"Well this area is not clear yet, we should clear this section before moving on... if this is going to be our base of operantions" The blond un jedi looking Xue said crossing his arms while he dragged his foot around the grass to clear the goo and sticky smelly renmants of one of the orbs.
The Jedi knight filled a couple of bottles of water and attached them to his utility belt. and turned around a slightly serious face, the news that Zett told Mal were disburbing indeed "That is most troubling, we should try and persuade the mercenaries to leave... we dont want the infection to spread off world" he turned around to meet his fellow Jedi big hutt eyes "This should be our first priority... but I fear the virus will spread even more whil e we deal with the mercs. How do you think we should proceed? he asked his senior companion, they needed to act fast

Mal had thought for a while of what would be needed but kept coming back to the more hostile Plan B. Just as he was going to speak up Mal's coms twittered it was the Dark Matter.
Reina speaking.....Mal this is Reina hon. We've been listening to the conversation and think we have an alternative to help yous out. We could convert some drop message containers to your tinging micbobs and fly over water hot spots and give air recon, at least I will. Je'B is coming planet side and help with cutting the number down. Just tinking about those slimy tings gives me the willies. What do you tink?
Mal considered the impromptu help and found it worthy. Mal did not fully understand why Je'Baru was coming to join them but he never could get a good read on the noghri anyway. Responding Mal said....
This is fine you can set down near our position and I'll help with the conversion.
Almost before Mal could finish the interstellar sloop was swooping down at them from high orbit and ending in a whipping thrust burn. Mal was impressed by the piloting of the ship and thought that Reina was getting better. When though the door dropped open Reina was the first to leave and then was followed by the noghri Je'Baru. Mal was in wonderment as to who was truly flying the ship. The noghri with his combat armor on and armed to the teeth saw Mal's expression.
Looking back at the ship.....That was the AI of Taym's copy. He has a bit better flying skill than most programs of his level. Now where are the slimy little blighters.
Reina shivered and her skin shimmered with colors of the Emoting tattoos that covered her from head to toe. The colors rippled chartreuse pink to neon orange with a purple color at the fringe showing revulsion.
Stop reminding me about those tings we just saw. I never got over the blob races and I'll never will be in that situation ever again.
Shivering once again her black skin shimmered of the same color and patterns. Reina wore only a twi'lek style top with a dancers training bottom that gentle blew in the cooling evening breeze. Mal looked upon the two a strange pair but in the force none could have been better suited to be pair with each other. He also noticed that Reina had a minor healing factor in the force and that might come in handy in the later events here in Serenity Valley.

Sam had long been abandoned on the lonely planet of Montitia... or rather, abandoned well since the outbreak of the Rakgoul's, which, to Sam's memory, were simply a terrible form a monkey-lizard-frog-animal type of thing that the young man had only heard stories of -- though, even at that, the stories he had heard were nothing short of scary tales and nightmares... some of which were from survivors from Taris... razed as if it was no issue, the population was reduced to zero in the city, and just that of the lowercity, as well. Indeed, Sam had heard the stories, but not even the thought of people could comfort the young Jedi know.
His once intense ice-blue eyes had paled to an off-white from water deprivation, and his being was weak with fatigue; indeed, Sam had not eaten or had anything to drink in a good 6 days, and the only thing keeping him living was sheer will and using the Force to conserve the little water left in his body. Since his "abandonment" (or more accurately, destruction of his commlink) he had wandered the fields and valleys of the planets, running from Rakgouls and odd and about shady mercs alike. The Jedi was tired to no extend; The Force, unexpectedly, seemed to fading from him, and moreover, it seemed as though Sam was nearing the end of his life. He relied solely on what was left of his being to survive, and maybe find someone to help him...
And then, almost as if on cue, Sam saw, very wearily, ships in the distance, as well as a recede into a valley. Using the last of his energy, Sam dashed with Force-augmented speed towards to edge of the valley and saw a well, people leaving that well, and ships amiss throughout the sky. With a sigh of relief, Sam called down with the loudest voice he could produce. "Are you Jedi?"
A dumb question, and Sam knew it all too well; however, it was worth asking, as he felt death gripping closer to him by the minute. Instead of waiting for a response (or to see if they had even heard him), Sam let himself fall from the edge of the cliff, allowed his heavy cloak to be shed from him, revealing the two lightsabers at his belt. He landed with a clumsy stumble and took a knee, and eventually, pulled himself up in time to get a decent look at the people ahead of him. His dark brown Jedi tunic was only slightly darker than the lifeless rock around him, and he approached the people with a slow walk of caution.
Feeling a bit apprehensive, Sam drew his hilts into his hands, but merely kept them there, neglecting to ignite either one, for the off chance that these people before him were even slightly amiable.

Mal felt the young one before he heard him. At first Mal thought him to be and echo of the Rahkghoul's mutation, but the closer the young one got the clearer it got. He turned as Zett Rem spoke Mal moved over to the young one with a quick warble of hutt movement and received his med-kit from Zett. He slowed as he saw the saber. The ghouls must have been hard on him for he looked ragged and near lifeless.
Please over here to the well. .... ....with a mind trick .....You have no worries here young Jedi you are among brothers. Come and sit and I will tend to your injuries.
Mal Lowered himself a few feet from the well and readied his kit. The boy would need some rest and rejuvenation, not to mention some food and clean water. Mal turned to Reina.
Reina if you will please come, help me and sing him to rest. For you face may be of more a comfort to him than mine.
Reina blushed at those words and it showed upon her skin with tiny pale pink swirls. She move to the left side of the young Jedi taking his hand she led him to the well. So thusly Mal laid a hand upon the young Jedi taking his pain upon himself and giving refreshing force healing energy back. With water and food upon the young one lap Reina feed and bandaged the new young Jedi.
