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.

HK-49 walks into the docking port station and looks around, then finds his landing spot and walks over to it. The black Z4-M9 is finishing repairs on a spot where the ship got blasted. HK-49 walks over to the dock master and informs him that he is departing. And then without waiting for a response, walks back to the ship and walks inside. He lifts himself up onto the seat, placing his rifle in the holster between the seats, placed there specifically for him. HK-49 presses a blue button and it waits to connect, then a hologram of Master Xalyrion appears in front of the droid.
Xalyrion says, "Is the deed done? Did you kill the Sith recruiter?"
HK-49 nods and says "The scum bag has been killed, Master. No one will suspect it was me."
Xalyrion folds his arms over his chest, then says "Good. I sensed another person who might be of interest. He is on the planet of Naboo. This man might also be a recruiter, or a senator. Either way, I sense he means harm to everyone on the planet. Take care of him."
HK-49 nods and says "Yes, Master."
The Hologram flickers slightly, then turns off. Z4-M9 rolls into the ship and says up to HK-49 "Beep beep woop bzzzt beep."
HK-49 says "We have a new target Z4. This one is on Naboo. We depart now."
Z4-M9 rolls into it's holding station, designed so it wouldn't go flying all over the place during flight, and locks itself in.
The Ship, The Sharp Talon, floats upwards slowly, then after minor adjustments from the cockpit, takes off. It flies swiftly out of the atmosphere and enters space. HK-49 inputs the coordinates for the Naboo system, then presses the Hyperspace button.
3...2...1...
The Sharp Talon leaps into hyperspace, vanishing from the Tatooine System in a flash...

Selene sighs, curled up in a ball, in her tiny hiding space. It is a storage compartment inside the ship she found, hidden in the floor. These dumb droids will never know I am here. I just need to get off at Naboo...and get another ship somehow.
Selene sighs again when there is the sound of the HK model droid walking around above. She stiffens. The HK droid stops on top of the piece of flooring that covers the secret compartment, then takes a couple steps away. Selene silently lets out a sigh of relief...then the cover is removed. Selene gasps and looks up quickly in fear as the HK droid reaches down with it's right hand and grabs her collar, lifting her out of the compartment.
Selene grabs it's arm and starts kicking her legs, yelling "Let me go!"
The HK Droid says "You are a fleshling, hiding within my Master's ship. I do not take kindly to stowaways."
Selene's eyes widen and she keeps kicking as the HK droid carries her into the cockpit and drops her down into the passenger seat. Selene stops kicking and looks at the droid confused. The HK droid sits down in the pilot's seat and presses a button. In a couple seconds, a hologram of a robed man appears.
The HK droid says "Master, we have a stowaway. Shall I dispose of her?"
The man looks at Selene. Selene looks away, covering her face. The man looks back at the droid and says "No, you will not dispose of her, HK-49. She is just an innocent girl."
HK-49 says grudgingly "Yes, Master..." He cuts off the hologram and looks at Selene, then says "You will not do anything unless I say you can. Or else." He places a hand on his repeating blaster between the seats and Selene squeaks, then nods quickly. Selene sits forward in the seat, trying to inch as far away as she can from the droid without falling out of the seat.
Great...now what? The thought repeats itself in her head over and over, for her life is over if that man suddenly decides she might do something to hinder or hurt whatever the droid is doing...
Star Forge #2, Unknown Space.
Master Xalyrion frowns as the hologram cuts off. Someone managed to get aboard my ship without HK-49 noticing? Who is she? With that kind of skill...she could be very useful. But I don't want to force anything on her...but then she'll have to die unless she joins me. Sith's blood...I feel like a Dark Jedi with the way things are deciding to turn out, not a Gray Jedi...
