Snippet #5174

Star Forge #2, Unknown Space
Xalyrion stares out the windows of the Star Forge, hands clasped behind his back. First Revan betrays the republic...then Malak suddenly comes back. Revan is dead. And Malak now threatens to conquer the entire Galaxy. Just need to either find an apprentice or find a way to kill Malak by myself. I don't know if I can kill him...he has more knowledge of the Star Forges than I do. He might even know where the last one is.

Mos Eisley, Tatooine.
HK-49 checks his Heavy Repeating Rifle, then stealthily sneaks around the corner. His mechanics have silencers installed so he can move silently. The Zabrak has no idea. As the Zabrak walks down the path, he hunches over and pulls the hood of his brown cloak up over his head. It doesn't matter to HK-49 though. The Droid looks around, then locates the perfect assassination spot. Going through every possibility, he determines the best way to assassinate the Zabrak is to shoot him in the back of the head where no one is around. This IS Mos Eisley after all. He looks around again to make sure no one is looking, then the Zabrak makes a mistake: He walks down an alley.

HK-49 quickly follows, unseen. Just as the Zabrak thinks he is safe, HK-49 swiftly runs up behind him and kicks him in the back. The Zabrak hits the ground and HK-49 swiftly shoots him in the back of the head. And HK-49 then walks out of the alley like nothing happened. His mission complete, he sets out for the Docks, where Z4-M9 is waiting.
