Public Call for Operation Team Assembly

*The image of a dark-haired pureblood woman flickers into view over the holo, blue hues doing little to lessen the unwavering stare presented to whomever was looking at the message. Her visage is but a calm face, with little else to be read from it. Her attire is expectedly maintained in dark colors, favoring lighter armoring though the tactical placing of armored plating and thicker armor weaves speaks of considerations. For observant eyes, her belt holds what appears to be anything from a medical kit to vials tucked on the hip opposite her lightsaber.*


"What defines life is set in stone, the laws of the universe defined by set cycles; of life and death, the biology you are born with and the strong surviving. To break these chains lays beyond most, trapped in old tales or hinted to in the old tablets, speaking of creations once performed by the Kissai. Yet the old ways remain, practiced by few and mastered by none - for there is no limits to the dark side, and to ever think oneself in a position of perfection, shall be the sin of inaction. Those who participate in this mission will hold a chance to contribute to the creation of a creature not meant to be - a defiance to the very laws binding everything around you. This shall be the first thread that I shall weave to see my will be done"*.

"Acolytes who participate will be permitted a lesson in the core powers. Those with passed trials shall be permitted to request a lesson in a desired power - or request a reward if they hold the foresight to make use of the gained favor. Should imperials desire to take part, your reward can be discussed upon the conclusion of it.

The secondary planning objective was undertaken by Apprentice Mal and Neophyte Syndathik, with the plan successfully presented to Sith Sarias with additional equipment being granted for the mission - nets able to withstand the Vornskr, motion sensors, and a beacon to summon the shuttle to transport the creatures should we encounter them some distance from our landing point.



MISSION REPORT:

We arrived at our location not long past the planet’s midday, with Apprentice Zotam electing to set up a perimeter around the shuttles with the motion sensors as the rest of the team headed out to look for the Vornskr, dampening our presences to begin with. Apprentice Mal soon caught sight of tracks that we followed, though they were not too fresh.

There was a fork in the path and the Apprentice had us split up, him investigating near a landslip to the left while we ventured some way down a slope to the right, Apprentice Mal noting he expected the creatures to have fled to higher ground from evident recent rain, with the height providing us with a good vantage point to view our surroundings either way. The Apprentice signalled via comms after not long that he’d found the trail again, and so the Acolyte and I backtracked and we took the left route as a group.

We followed the tracks, being led up some rather difficult rocky terrain that took some time to traverse. A landslip stopped us travelling further upwards, and though no creatures lay at the end of that trail, it did allow us a good view into a valley below - from which, as soon as we looked out, a presumed Vornskr, one of a pack, looked right back at us.

Apprentice Mal channelled for a moment to test the theory, and the pack reacted, confirming the suspicion. The Apprentice updated Apprentice Zotam and had Acolyte Sotal channel to keep the creatures interested while we descended the rocks again, heading back for the shuttle.

The Vornskr approached us not far off the shuttle, it being at this point closer to the end of the day, and Apprentice Mal signalled to Apprentice Zotam that we had Vornskr likely close in tow, the latter moving to join us then along with the nets.

Five of the beasts approached us - two adults, three young ones, that tried to flank and separate us to no avail. Apprentice Mal had intended on recovering all of them; Apprentice Zotam dispatched one of the younger beasts, and the other four were recovered in one piece between us, unconscious in the nets.

All objectives were completed successfully apart from confirming the presence of the Vornskr’s main prey, the Ysalamir, on the planet.
