Master Vin spoke up, after Maru’s questions.
“Maru… you are correct in your position, in that Sith holocrons can indeed be linked to negative emotions to those who can feel through the Force. The most strongly linked emotions are indeed fear and suffering, however I do not think that it projects those feelings. I think that it merely brings them out in someone who can feel through the Force. So keep in mind that your feelings will more than likely be influenced through this device and you may experience thoughts and try to do things you may not have done before. Again… I do not think it is the object which makes you do or feel so… it is merely the Force speaking to your inner most feelings. Those in which you have chosen to store away… deep within your mind and heart… and it brings those to surface in weird manifestations.”
Master Vin then looked to Malius.
“And what are you thinking of? What does the force say to you?”
After reaching out with the Force, Malius could figure out that there were several ways in and out of the establishment. He could feel the holocron and people towards the back. After focusing a little more he felt that the best thing to do, if indeed they were going to storm the place would be to split up into three groups. The first group head towards the back, the second group enters into the front, while the final group enters in through the storage area.
If indeed they were going to storm the place.

Malius looked up at his Master, chuckled, and gave a smile.
"The Force is always telling me things Master, otherwise I would be a useless blind man."
Letting the smile fade a bit, Malius began talking to the rest of the group.
"All kidding aside, I think that point one should be to listen to Maru's advice and what was said about the holocron while we were still en route. Specifically, I think that the standing order - aside from loyalty to the Empire, of course - needs to be that whatever the holocron might say or communicate to us individually, we need to ignore it. Anything relating to the Sith is bad news banthas... holocrons especially.
"Now, as I see it we have three options. One: we take the diplomatic route, head in there all nice like the Mission would have wanted us to, maybe revealing who we are and maybe not, and try to negotiate a deal with this Hutt and offer a Moff's ransom for the holocron. Of course, that takes us right into what could be a trap and Hutts generally don't fall for mind tricks.
"Option two: Storm the place. I can feel the holocron towards the back of this viper's nest along with some people... I cannot determine how many. So, we essentially surround the place and then hit it. Split into three teams: Master Darklighter, Master Vetter, and the three of us. First one heads to the back, second team through the front door, then the third hits this storage area. We go in, weapons live, hit them hard, take what we need, and then extract ourselves from the moon.
"Option three: some mixture of the previous two plans. Send one team in to try and negotiate and then call on the other two via the Force if things don't work out. Or, hit them with all three teams simultaneously, weapons drawn but not ignited or pointed, then try to negotiate from a position of strength."
Malius took a deep breath and looked around to the others.
"Any thoughts? Anyone besides myself speak Huttese?"

"Sorry, no Huttesse here. But I think going in with a pretense of diplomacy is a good idea. Hopefully, it will at least get us inside before they realize what we've come for."
Looking the place over, Anakin clenched his teeth. "I wish we could get a better idea of where the Holocron is. Just in case we need to grab it and make a break for it..."

Master Kal Vetter looked at the apprentices and then spoke for the first time in a while.
“Diplomacy is good… however… I feel we might just be beyond that. I feel… … a disturbance.”
He then motions upward with his head and you see six stormtroopers and an Imperial Officer exit a nearby warehouse and make their way toward the front door. They seemed to be looking for something.
“And in case you were wondering… no… they aren’t ours.”
Master Kal looks over toward Vin, who speaks up with eyes closed, concentrating.
“The holocron… is in the rear of the building. I can see it… in a box… in the hands of a Quarren.”

Anakin smiled and lit his lightsaber. "Oh well, looks like we'll have to do this the hard way..." (Editing to add Initiative roll) invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2347274/1d20(3)+5 = 8... Well don't I just rule? |

Malius drew his war sword from the sheath on his hip and grinned tightly.
"Here's where the fun begins. Remember to take the officer alive."

Thinking (or rather feeling for a second) Master Vetter responded to Mura’s question. “No. Too dangerous. There are too many… and the Dark Side!” Looking to the others, Master Vin spoke. “Anakin and Master Vetter will go to the side door and take out who they can. The three of us will do the same at the front. We will meet in the middle inside and to the back of those already there. Hopefully they will serve as a friendly buffer between us and those remaining.” [Master Vetter and Master Darklighter rolled a 28 Initiative] invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2349064/ |

Malius quickly nodded in agreement with Master Darklighter and started sprinting with Mura towards the front door, reaching down to his belt while running, retrieving one of his grenades as he muttered to himself about having a bad feeling about this. Seeing his old friend Mura coming up and beginning to pass him, he motioned to her to wait at the corner of the building where the traitors wouldn't see her.

Without warning, both Master Vin and Vetter moved toward their areas, faster than humanly possible. On the way they ignited their already produced lightsabers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Vin: *Surge* 1d20+16 ¨ [6,16] = (22) invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2351530/[Master Vin gains a +30 Force bonus on Jump checks and has his speed increased by 6 squares until the start of his next turn. The Force bonus on Jump checks includes the adjustment for increased speed.] Master Vetter: *Surge* 1d20+10 ¨ [8,10] = (18) invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2351531/[Master Vetter gains a +20 Force bonus on Jump checks and has his speed increased by 4 squares until the start of his next turn. The Force bonus on Jump checks includes the adjustment for increased speed.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Vin headed toward the establishment's entrance and easily leapt over the unaware stormtroopers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Vin: *Jump Check* 1d20+38 ¨ [7,38] = (45) invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2351559/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Blocking their way in, Vin Darklighter looked at the enemies with distain. He then followed up with a light joke at their expense. "Surprised? I know I am." -Meanwhile-Master Vetter made it to his entrance. The men there seemed to be trying to find the appropriate access code to the door, as they stood around slicer gear hooked up to the security pad. Although taking the stormtroopers by complete surprise, the Force user stood waiting for the Imperial Knight. The second the master appeared, the dark side disciple rushed to meet him. |

Malius ran up to Mura holding his grenade in his left hand and the sword in the right.
"Alright, let's see if we can give them a little surprise..." Holding the grenade in his hand, it started to wobble a bit, but stayed in his hand.
"Stang!"
