Chapitre 24: Next Steps

Sitting in my captain's chair, I tapped my armrest. Dooku and Qui-Gon Jin had entered the Hutt base without me knowing. They got around my bio-helmet force sense, my energy field sense, and my force sense. All abilities I had added to my repertoire.

Kaljaren and Marka re-materialize beside me. I say to them, "The Jedi got around my senses. The only way for them to do that is if know how to conceal themselves within the Force. An ability, as I understand, is virtually non-existent in the current Jedi Order. As have not been challenged since the defeat of the Sith a thousand years ago."

Kaljaren asnwers, "Well, you are right. Master Dooku had indeed learned such an ability. As for why, I could not tell you."

Marka adds, "That Jedi is careful. He had taught his apprentice how to conceal himself too. A curious Jedi."

I muse, "I knew Dooku was a reputed Master and talented duelist. I did not expect this ability of his though. At least not so early."

Another thought enters my mind, "Mmm, Aayla Secura should be born this year too, 49 BBY. The time will soon be upon us."

I then criticize myself, "I have been to dependent on my new abilities. I must not forget my roots. Had I placed micro-cameras or even motion sensors, I would have been snuck up on by the Jedi. My oversight will not be repeated. First and foremost, I am Yautja."

I enter the Myrkr system and descend to the planet.

Walking into my base, I overview the production of the androids. I have hundreds of units ready to go. These initial androids were built meticulously, as they are meant to be indiscernible form living beings. They can eat, piss, shit, talk, feign emotion at the highest possible level. They even emit normal body heat levels and can feign sickness. They can even simulate the aging process to make it appear that they age. They can even restructure their looks so they can fake death and start with another identity. They are the ultimate infiltrator models. Not all of them look human either. I will spread them across the galaxy to insert themselves into governments, the Trade Federation, Mandalore, and the future Separatist planets.

It's time to truly take over Hyllyard City. I activate 25 androids. I select a human looking one programmed for leadership. This is the android that will take over the city once the current Mayor is disposed of. The other androids will kill and replace the operators for the communication stations. Information about their lives have been uploaded to their memory. The wives, husbands, and kids will not know the difference. They might even like the replacements better than the originals, hehe.

I give the order, "Infiltrate the city and take control of your assigned positions."

The 25 then begin to head to the city. Once they're done, I'll use the spaceport to spread the other androids to the stars. Now to address another problem. The Jedi shadows. The Jedi shadow is a Jedi dedicated to hunting down dark Jedi, and previously, Sith. They are the hand that eliminates threats to the Order and the peace of the Republic while operating underground. In this era of peace, they are few. I expect that they are Jedi greatly skilled in combat and more uncommon abilities.

The sentinels are another problem. They are on every planet with the Republic. The more populated the planet, the more sentinels are present on it. This makes doing bounties within Republic borders, a little complicated. If my presence on any of these planets is discovered, the sentinels will all come to attack me together. I am no longer just some dangerous bounty hunter. Now I am a rogue Force user that's killed a Jedi. The Zealous Jedi will eliminate me just to make sure I have no chance of going dark.

I growl out, "They will fail..."

Another, not so threatening problem, is Jabba has issued a bounty. Hutt elite bounty hunters are now trying to track me down. They will never find Mrykr or think of it. Although, leading them to a decoy planet to turn the hunt against them may be fun. The planet that should be used as a decoy is up in the air for now.

Marka speaks from my side, "I think it is time for us to improve your understanding of the force."

Kaljaren agrees, "Yes, you are diligent, but lack deeper understandings. Understandings that require you to experience things beyond your current lifestyle."

Marka speaks again, "Your inability to use Force Lightning is from lack of hate, and understanding of hate. You do not understand deep hatred, or unimaginable suffering. You have seen it or felt it. You must find those that hate to their core, feel fury down to the soul, and suffer so bad they relish a second of reprieve. This way, you can understand the Dark Side."

Kaljaren speaks, "You know no love Bido. You view people as trophies, and life as tools to harvest. You have no one to protect, to save, to fight for. You can heal, restore stamina even. Electric Judgement, Force Protection, Plant Surge even, Force Stasis are all out of reach. You must find those that love deeply, protect fiercely, and respect life greatly. Those that can show compassion to anyone and everyone. This way, you can understand the Light Side."

I sigh, "Troublesome, but I know you are both right. My understanding is lacking, and meditation will not help too good with this. Witnessing, interacting with such people will instead work well. Finding such people will be a chore though. I'll manage. Once the androids are deployed, they can assist if need be too."

Speaking of the androids, they should be done replacing people by morning. I don't really have much to do until then. Might as well meditate while doing katas with my light-glaive. Aslo, it is time to name it. I have used it, and know its qualities.

I say aloud as I hold my weapon ignited, "You shall be named,...Destined Death."

A homage to a story I experienced in the past. I think it quite fitting.
