Zett stood in front of his main computer in the room he had designated as his computer room. It had been nearly 2 years now sense Zett Rem had gone out on his own, and ever sense that day he had been looking for Marcas' hiding spots scattered accross the Galaxy. He had almost all the information on the computers in this room, he had the anti virus for Ryver/Taym, and then the actuall virus it self locked away into a lock box that cut off all Wi-Fi conections to the chip the virus was stored on, on top of that he had the intire thing carbon frozen just to be on the safe side.

He had almost fallen alseep once again looking at clues for the location of the hide out. When he got an Exited "Whurp Whurp" from T6 who was monitoring the mainframe. What?! Zett had nearly jumped out of the seat from suprise, the Droids dome spun out of exitment, You found it? Zett popped out of the chair and ran to the main computer; ever sense he joined spearpoint his main goal now that he had more time was to find Marcus' stash of goods, where Zett would find his Journal, truthfuly he didn't know what he would find there but he was hopeing to find proof of Marcus' surviving the bombing.

He looked at the screen that had a pinpointed "X" on the galaxy map, Felucia was now marked as the next place Zett would visit.

---The hanger---

---

It was the next day toward the evening hours, he had informed Ethan of his departure for Felucia and then made sure Je'baru knew of the hour he would be leaving, all that was left was to wait for Je'baru to show himself and leave.

[Foxfire]

Je'Baru had been thinking about his former teacher. The lessons learned, the endless quotes, the extreme harsh punishments for failure yet he smiled. Not because at the time it hurt him but how he was feeling now how he was dealing with ...... every thing. Sighing he got word again about Zett looking for one of the many foot lockers, as Marcus called them.

These foot lockers were a storage hold of goods money but more than anything else, knowledge. The secret secret plans and archived blue prints of every building and shadow bank in this twisted verse. Je'Baru knew of only two. Those two held his fortunes too Reina knew of just one of them for the other she never went to nor could go to. It was a death trap made by the darkside of the force it's self. One on Kashyyyk lower jungle floor near to some carnavoric plants the other the dark hot spot was on Felucia. In that one Je'Baru had hints of another on the planet but warned him of going to it till the time was right. Which meant to Je'Baru when he had emptied the other two lockers of their wealth.

He walked slowly to the hanger to meet Zett, is fellow faction partner and second student of Marcus. The foot locker's locations were not given to Zett on the main concern that Marcus had always said he felt darkness with in him. Now Je'Baru could see it too expecially when the subject of Heba came up. Yet Marcus had asked the noghri to watch over Zett and guide him to his own foot locker. This is where he was headed.

Arriving wearing a glow wolf pelt Je'Baru rounded the corner of the hanger doors toward the front of the ship.

into comsZett this is Nargruk, let's lift off before I change my mind.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

Zett this is Nargruk, let's lift off before I change my mind.
Zett heard this comming from this tool bag that was laying on the floor, he was sitting atop of on of the massive engines working on it sprucing it up a bit. Within months his ship would truely be his thanks to all his modifications.

Zett removed his goggles and hopped down from the engine and pulled the com link out of the bag, Alright come aboard and we'll be off. And for the record, you coming or going wont stop me from going, i just thought you might want to come along. He muted it knowing that Je'baru wasn't going to say much more.

He sat himself down in the cockpit passing on of his droids on the way. He heard the loading ramp close and lock before he started the ship up and began to navigate out of the hanger almost without any trouble and he had gotten the ship out of the hanger in time for another shuttle to land.

Within minutes the ship was in space and he had the corse plotted for Felucia and jumped to hyperspace as the stars became fast moving dots, then starlines, and eventually a swirl.

---Hyperspace---

---

Zett left T6 flying the ship and he moved back to the main general room where he drank a glass of Alderaanian ale. He also wanted to tell Je'baru something about Ryver/Taym that he had assumed Je'baru didn't know, Zett figured it out because of his computer knowledge, Je'baru may have known from other devices, but in either case Je'baru needed the Anti Virus for his own ship, which literally had Taym flying it half the time, that is assuming Je'baru still had the dark-matter.

[Foxfire]

Being back in space and heading to Felucia was the same old same, but the one thing that had changed was the mission or rightly the reason why they were heading there. The foot locker of Marcus Foxworth a store house of information and tech goods. Well not so much on the tech Marcus from what Je'Baru could remember held little asteem toward tech. He had said, 'you are better than the tech that is ruling your life'.

Je'Baru also knew that if they were heading to Felucia then Zett found one of two footlockers on planet. Which meant that they were going to have very big trouble. Not to mention Marcus' traps and event triggers the location was going to be very hostle and not a place to be taken lightly. The Dark Veil, the main reason to stay home and drink the rest of the day away till you for get about why your there. The area was a hot spot of dark force activity. Twisted and torchered by pain and hate the plants and animals were beyond agro, they were truly evil like the sith of old.

Thankfully a rogue bull rancor had fallen to the haired sluglets and their toxic powers and birth gases. The dark rancor had eaten every thing and one who had went in that direction. Dark twisted rancor was the least of the problems the carnavoric veg was a nother unholy matter. He had watched one entrap and consume a pair of rancor while they were hunting him. Still even if one knew all the ins and outs of the Dark Veil it still would have new horrors to throw at you.

With all the horrors of the Dark Veil Marcus was the one who first entered and left at his own will. So Je'Baru was remembering his teachers lessons and getting back to that place he once was at. With complete silence and stealth he moved in the shadows of the ship with a sound suit Marcus had him to wear when ever he had slacked. Any and all movements that were made was converted into sound. So movement at normal speeds sounded as alarms and utterly slow gentle movements the statuary would have know was all one could do. Yet Nargruk moved through the ship via letting timing, effect and cause.

Entering the general room Je'Baru sounded like one of Zett's droids working and toodling to it's self. Touching both cuffs the suit sung off and for the first time Je'Baru moved faster than dust it's self.

So you have some thing to say. You've been twitchy since a month ago and your droids are more on edge that anything.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

So you have some thing to say. You've been twitchy since a month ago and your droids are more on edge that anything.

Zett nodded, normally a person would have been spooked by Je'baru's stealth, yet Zett was so used to it now that he would actually be worried if Je'baru didn't sneak around. He had gotten used to Je'baru popping up behind him enough he could almost tell when it was going to happen.

I'm not no twitchy! But yes. Zett flicked a few switches absent minded as if it was second nature, which it was, he had flow his baby so many times in the last few weeks he knew where everything was.

Do you still have the dark matter?
Zett said as he spun the chair facing Je'baru now, Lemme explain. Ryver/Taym turned on me, well all humans really. Zett started, Been uploading themselves into computers, and what's worse the Dark Matter it literally run by a Taym program. I managed to create a Anti Virus that doesn't kill the virus, but at least stops it. Zett opened a small case and handed Je'baru a chip, That's the anti, I've been plugging it into computers that i've run into, i've tested it and it works. Now i know you dislike tech, but i'd hate to have you killed by your own ship so start plugging that into computers as you run, and don't argue. I've seen Taym's darker side, it's not pretty. Zett stood and went off to check the engeins.

The landing...

---

A few hours later the Zett was back on the bridge and pulled on the hyperspace levers coming out of hyperspace. He quickly brought the ship down and found a landing zone, or what settled as one.

Once the ship was landed and Zett was in his armor he began down the ramp only to be stopped by T6. A worried beep came from the droid and Zett only waved the droid away, Sorry T6, as much as i'd like you to come along, you can't for two reasons, one that was if you're caught you'll never be able to tell anyone where it is, two you can't get around on this terrain, stay with the ship. Zett said firmle as he made his way down the ramp Je'baru in tow. He knew he would have to be quick around this area.

[Foxfire]

Where Zett had landed them was Je'Baru's home pad. From this landing LZ it was clear as to where they were going and he would need more thermos. Walking to the shack of a home Je'Baru did not even look back as to if Zett was following. This place for Nargruk was the safest place in the verse. The locals only knew the direction of his home and they were beyond the fringe that even the bravest of the Felucians would wander out in. Simpling pushing the unlocked door open he went in grabbing a plasticzine case filled with thermos and shock grenades. Going deeper into the house he dragged out from under his bed a case of level 10 frag grenades. Sitting down on a fungus stump he removed his pack and started to shuffle and stuff the new collection of grenades into it.

Zett about Ryver/Taym and the Dark Matter that ship was loaned to Reina and she gave it back to them. As for their... cloning themselves....that I could care less. They were already twitchy when Reina and I meet them long ago. What is more how would know of the suffering of the countless thousands that go to their death or are scrapped for having a program error such as independance from the users. On a mission like this you need to get you head on and your mind right because Marcus did not set his possition with droids. He always said, 'if you can't do it yourself don't make a droid do it.'

Je'Baru sighed as he checked the status of one of the class 10 frags.

So let them be, because if you don't they will come and kill you, this I know of them. So you had better watch every single thing that has a chip from now on if you don't let it go. Oh and where exactly is this location? You have a single point on a map or some thing, because if it's where I'm thinking your heading then you did not bring enough fire power to even get close to it much less enter the hear of the Veil.

Zett made a hurt face, Hey they weren't my droids, and besides, I just thought it best if you at least knew, that way you don't get ya'know? Shot. Besides i'm'a big boy. I can take care of myself.

Zett said watching Je'baru run through a few things in his box,
So let them be, because if you don't they will come and kill you, this I know of them. So you had better watch every single thing that has a chip from now on if you don't let it go.

Zett smiled at Je'baru's words, Now it's you forgetting what Marcus taught us, always be ready, and if it's important, make sure it's always in arms reach. Zett said forgetting the exact riddle Marcus had used, but he came away with the lesson at least. Zett still had Missiles, flame throwers, thermo dets, and his own razors droids, which was enough for Zett, and Zett knew that Marcus wouldn't have brought more then that himself, he knew that wits where most important.

Any way... Zett started pulling out a paper map. As a backup he also had a copy in his H.U.D. Zett showed Je'baru and pointed to a 'X' on it.

It's a bunker as far as i can tell, it's secluded, but it's the only one i care to find. Zett said, all he wanted was Marcus' journal, not to steal it, but to read it, to find Marcus.

So...shall we start?

[Foxfire]

The Dark Veil was the exact place where the great X was marked. Lowering his head he waved his hand and slid the rest of the dets into his bag and swung it onto his back and headed for the edge of the platou. There was a covered slide that he had made for quick escapes waving at Zett he said....See you at the bottom. The lower region was starting to fog in which would help them but for what good it did it also hindered their view too.

The jungle like sounds of the deeper terrian of the Felucian wildes would set most on edge but Je'Baru lived here and it was normal and reasuring to hear the noise. It was the silence that had him twitchy and nervous. Moving slowly he walked toward the direction of the Veil. Looking left and right he noted spider plants already stalking him. Taking a flare grenade the tossed it well away from him and their direction. It bounced and banged off the surroundings.

Punching a button on his wrist gauntlet comp the flare went up and white hot noise and light erupted. The noise and heat drew the spider plants away from there location. Sighing again the trip was already starting off all wrong and what will Marcus leave might be worse.

Speaking half to himself and out loud he said.........Hurry up Zett get your butt down here.

[Adobi-Wan Kenobi]

See you at the bottom. Je'baru said just before jumping down some sort of escape hatch. Zett chuckled before mumbling, I always thought he had some sort of plot to kill me... Then he fallowed down the hole and came out just before he heard an explosion that matched the sound of a thermal detonator. Zett approached Je'baru noticing what ever creature that had been killed by the explosion.

He made sure he hadn't lost anything from the slide, and they began the slow hike to the location. It was long before they even made it to the area that was supposedly in-cased in the dark side. Zett knew things could get really bad really soon, but comforted himself by saying, The force guides things for it's own will, i don't think me finding this book is against the forces will. He said knowing the dark side and the force in general didn't work that way.

It was then he hears the howls of a near by Ackley, Oh, this ought to be fun. He said sarcastically.
