Competition: Starfall: Hunting for that Bling

Enjoy.

The mining planet was surprisingly devoid of security. Aesirus was a new mining hub for SoroSuub Corporation and had a workforce of ten thousand strong just waiting for new masters. Delak could taste the Kyber Crystals in the air of the mining facility. He had entered the cave looking to gain entry into the main hub for mining operations. SoroSuub would not have moved in this quickly if they hadn’t found something important. The Emperor had commissioned Delak for a stealth mission. The leader of Shadow Guard would not fail his Emperor.

The tunnels to the main building were barely wide enough for two men and a hover sled to pass through. Delak tried his best to maintain his stealth. He passed by a few miners and was able to successfully hide himself through the Force. Even if they did notice him, he would dispatch them before they could get a call out. These miners were weak, he could sense it. They were ripe for the picking. “The Emperor will approve of this intel.” Delak thought to himself. The mining headquarters was one hundred meters up ahead and there were groups of miners all about. He would not be able to keep up his cloak with all of these people. Delak had to think quickly about what to do.

Delak stretched out throughout the entire cavern. It took a lot of concentration to maintain the illusion but he knew he had to clear out these miners. The illusion of a two giant Acklay appeared in the minds of the miners. Delak concentrated on the illusions and could feel the miners running away out of the mines. It wasn’t long before the audible screams of the men and women workers were a distant hum. Delak headed quickly for the control room to locate his mission objective.

In the rush a few miners decided to lock themselves inside the control room. Delak sensed them and unclipped his saber Shiny and Chrome from his belt and ignited it. He sliced the locking mechanism to the door and watched as sparks flew from the damaged panel. The miners in the room screamed out in fear, clearly they were surprised by the Sith Battlemaster. He threw his saber into the back of one of the miners and then pushed the rest into the wall knocking a couple of them out cold. He reached out for his saber and it sprang back into his hand like a bolt of lightning. He sliced the remaining miners down quickly and moved onto his objective. The computer had been installed recently and all of the security protocols had not yet been installed. Delak flew through the memory banks and pulled out the location of the Kyber Crystals.

The crystals were located deep within the mine. There seemed to be a natural cavern which was big enough to hold an AT-AT Walker. The crystals in the cavern were of great size and were very valuable to Scholae. Delak loaded the data onto a datadisk and quickly left the building. He headed back out of the cavern the way he had come being careful to avoid anyone who chose the smaller path to come back to.
