Alice Durana

I glance back and up at the roof where the lightning strikes have been redirected and shake my head. "Xanthippe Naberrie...you crazy woman." I turn to the others as Zar'kun starts to speak. "No, don't dishonor her sacrifice. We need to take this window of opportunity and escape."

Zar'kun Je'and

I turn towards Alice and for the briefest of moments, consider arguing that leaving anyone behind to die was out of the question, even if I did dislike the woman, but I dismiss it. She was right. "May the Force be with you, Xan. Always." I turn to the rest of us gathered. "We need to go, now. Hank, let it be." The HK unit mutters something but does as he's told, heading for HK's ship.

I come running out of the hotel, a couple of cats in my arms to the exasperation of Zar'kun. "Just be glad I didn't grab the whole litter!"

HK-49 "Hank"

"Observation: My turret is running out of energy and we are still on the ground. Suggestion: Perhaps we should depart?"

"We need to evacuate. Chancellor Organa is already getting all the citizens into the bombardment bunkers and shelters, so there really isn't anything we can do."

Admiral Josiah Trenor

The Invictus, the Republic's first in a new line of ships that were armed with railguns instead of turbolaser weaponry, was enroute to Coruscant to help deal with the station attacking it. However, I wasn't sure that we would make it in time and the main weapon, the Planetary Railgun, took time to power up. I still chuckled at the name, since at most, the massive weapon could level a city in a single shot. The R&D department theorized that if we'd had it during the war, Imperial capitol ships wouldn't have been able to draw out the fights for so long and into their favor. I sigh as I turn to the helmsman, as once more I file it away for further thought later. "Helm, ETA to Coruscant?"

The Twi'lek grimaced as she looked back at me. "Too long sir. Unless this weapon takes another cycle to finish its job, it'll be gone by the time we arrive."

Mandalore the Valkyrie

After a couple minutes of sustained fire on the station proved to have no effect, I order the fleet away from the station and to begin simply putting distance between themselves and it.

I grimace as the bolts only lance out in more powerful spurts. "Contact Clan Cadera. Let them know I've got a special mission for them." Several of the Mandalorian and Republic ships had already opened fire on the station as they closed in, and the effects weren't great. "We're going to need a bigger weapon to damage that thing."

Zar'kun Je'and

"I don't think getting away from this is in the cards either, Becca." I use a Force Jump to land in the speeder and get it started. "We'll meet with the others and see what we can do."

I frown and tap my finger against my command chair a moment as one of the officers on my ship's bridge turns towards me. "Your orders, Mand'alor?"

"Have all ships do their best to maneuver into position to fire on that weapon. Let us remind the Sith why the Mandalorian Clans are not to be trifled with."

"All ships, report! Have you found the source of this storm yet?"

Hk-49 "Hank"

I walk over to one of the gun emplacements that the Mandalorians had left and climb in before powering it up and taking aim. I then fire on a larger debris piece and blow it apart. "Statement: I will buy you time."

Mandalore the Valkyrie

I had already sent out orders to the ships that could still get out of the storm's path in time to do so and ordered those not in immediate danger to search for what was powering it.

Zar'kun Je'and

As the pieces of star ships fall from orbit, I can't help but stare and follow their trail back to the sky. "What in the hell?!"

A Galaxy in Twilight[Lord Gressh/Zarkun]

HK-49 "Hank"

"Observation: Most ships are equipped to handle electrical storms. Theory: This could be more than your standard electrical storm however."

"Statement: Kreia's history suggests she will play her hand herself very soon. Eager Statement: I hope it is soon enough I will have little competition for claiming kills."
