Talia Lenora dropped her freighter out of hyperspace and found herself in the place she didn't want to be. Running through the ship, fixing leaking pipes and trying to maintaining control of her ship. It had dropped out close enough to be near the planet if a landing was needed but had began to drift and rotate, now slowly picking up speed and changing it's angle. It would be weeks before it entered atmosphere but without droids or skilled technicians to help her, she was on her own. It was a job which had already taken her a few days and by the time Jon Newt, Caedus Sadow, Sal Kildor and Nema Aldari had came up from the atmosphere, she was in their flight path.
Noticing this bright light moving from the planet out of a viewport she was doing repairs near, she raced to the cockpit of the freighter. Turning on her radio, she began to send out a moderate frequency which would be picked up by the fighter but not far enough to bounce off the atmosphere. "Incoming fighter, this is the Class VI freighter Death's Hand. I am picking you up has a Republic registered vessel. I have connections with the Jedi Order and can arrange payment if you can assist me in repairing my ship and getting my hyperdrive set up for a flight in hyperspace. The reward will be big.". After working for days on the ship and knowing there was weeks of work left to do, she reached out with the force. It would have been difficult to reach the fighter but it was like a beacon in the void of space. She found it in her mind within seconds and found all of the people aboard, very strong and very useful to have that many. She felt that most of them seemed to have the force reach out to them like she rarely experienced, since the Jedi Temple at least. Then it hit her. The velocity sent her spinning around in her chair from the shock which travelled through her body. Three great minds reached out and touched her simultaneously, and she recognised two of those from the Temple. "This is Talia Lenora, are you Jedi Knights?".

Seeing the fighter go into hyperspace, she quickly reached out in the force but found nothing, they had vanished. Filling with anger, she swore that she would find the Jedi, but then she noticed a familiar ship. The Grand Master had arrived with his ship, but why? With enough repairs now done to the reactor, she had chance to fire upon the vessel and it was within range, but she would not. With the ship spinning still, she reached out with the force to steady it once again. Slowly the ship began to halt, met with an invisible fog which halted its speed. Talia was forced to go into a deep medication, if she wanted to approach the ship with this much damage, she would need to move it herself. The ship began to silently move, although slowly, it began to pick up speed and it's vector remained true. It was difficult to remain concentration while performing such a difficult task, but Talia could handle it. The problem was that without making sure that the ship was in a ready scenario for hyperspace, it would break down within a bring her out in the middle of nowhere. By repairing the damaged systems and getting the navigation computer ready for at least one short jump, she could take the ship to a planet where shipyards could repair the ship. Paying for that was a different matter, she would rather get that done and worry later however. Either way, the ship was finally moving, but she knew a descent into atmosphere would be very risky and she knew she would rather make repairs on-board first.

Delona wore her full body armour and helmet sealed. She had used her small ship to swoop up next to the Class VI Freighter and when within a meter away, she extended her docking arm and locked on. Although she was connecting to a far larger ship, she could tell that it looked damaged and the chances were that she wouldn't notice the intrusion. Walking through the air sealed chamber, Delona entered the ship and looked down both sides of the corridor. Tapping the side of her helmet with the armoured hand, her vision changed and flicked through several settings, finding the one most suitable, Moving to her right, Delona began to walk towards where the cockpit would be located. She knew the Dark Jedi was within that room, she could feel her meditating throughout the force, but that meant that Delona Baisk would lay undetected due to the concentration. Not probing further to avoid disruption, Delona continued to walk through several passages, seeing several broken systems and pipes leaking gases. Opening the door to the cockpit, she saw the back of Talia sitting on the chair, silent. Creeping over to Talia, she stretched out her arm and from her wrist came a orange gas. The gas was a weakening agent, which would draw all energy from the ex-Jedi Knight and put her into an armless state. Seeing the ship stop moving from the view of the ship in front of the viewport, Delona knew she had succeeded.

Standing in front of Talia, Delona placed her boot directly in her face. The kick sent Talia's head bouncing off the durasteel wall and forced her awake. Delona grabbed her chin and forced her to look at her, Talia was still in a weakened state but coming around now. "Talia Lenora is it? Wake up you fool". Looking upwards at the armoured figure, Talia knew that someone had captured her. Attempting to focus her eyes further, Talia began to realise that she was immobile, not just having a bad sleepy moment. "Who are you?" she muttered, her words dribbling out of her mouth. "I come to you with an offer. We are both people who hate the Jedi Order and would be wise to take advantage of this war. I can provide you with the means of doing so, if you will join me". With her voice dark and menacing, Delona Baisk gave out an impression that a man lived behind the helmet, but this was something she would use to her advantage. "Why?" was all that Talia could stumble, the effect had been more than expected, but it was still working and would clear up soon enough. "Are you prepared to give up your useless life trying to find a way through this galaxy, and make a real difference? The Jedi and Sith will soon be hunting each other down and so will their allies, but the tides will turn and a gap will be revealed. We can position ourselves to be better equipped to take advantage and form ourselves a position of power to work upon. If you join me, you shall get more glory than ever before". "I don't know..." came the reply. "What would you want me to do?". Delona Baisk smiled from beneath her helmet, now there was a chance that she could have a powerful ally, although she would need to play her cards carefully now. "Assassinate, Murder and Loot are amongst many things. I can show you the path to greatness, a group to be feared. We can lead others into redemption, watch others stumble to their knees". Moments passed with no reply before Talia's head dropped once more. She was knocked out from the gas, but when she awoke she would be ready. Leaving a spare set of armour next to Talia's body, Delona walked away and headed back to her freighter.

Waking slowly, Talia felt still a little weak but now able to move and stand. She did so, straightening herself out and looking around to see nobody. With a crack of her neck, she tried to remembered what had happened to her and recalled the conversation that she had. Looking to her left, the armour provided was on the floor, ready to be worn. Picking up the helmet, she looked at it's unique and rather alien looking design. Talia was curious about this, it seemed to be quite light but strong, and was obviously built by someone highly skilled. Placing the helmet upon her head, she was greeted with the view provided by the visors. Within her vision, a small hologram appeared, of the person who had taken her prisoner. "Place the rest of the armour upon you and let the helmet connect" said the voice. Talia did so, pausing a second for thought, but deciding that she was interested in what this seemingly advanced helmet could do. With all of the armour now in place and sealed together, Talia found a new activity appear in her vision. Text rushed past her eyes, just enough for all to be read and told her of the different systems being activated. This made her smile at some of the things, this would prove to be a very useful collection. "Okay then, where do we start? Talia asked, realising that this helmet had a great communications system. "Soon, for now we should fix your ship". This surprised her, but it was a task that would need to be done anyways. Nodding, she headed out of the cockpit and with her armour now getting used to her body, she found her tools and began to start fixing, seeing Delona Baisk walk out in her armour and begin to do the same.
