For the past few days, Darth Nox had been settling into the alias of Hannah, a lost and confused traveler, just like the rest of those stranded on this strange place. Nox, however, had another task - seek out the Jedi and learn as much as she could about them. She had already learned how they communicated, their daily routines, who favored which nightly watch, and who was more likely to fall asleep in the nighttime hours. Late on the second day after the Jedi's arrival, Nox had gathered enough information to report back to Darth Colberius. As most of the other travelers were settling down for the night, she rose and proceeded to a dark corner of the facility and opened her holotransmitter.
The Jedi were not oblivious to their surveillant. Master Tau was convinced she was just a curious traveler - you don't often see Jedi stuck in a predicament like this, and they had several pleasant conversations with strangers. Sapphiron, however, was more suspicious. He shared these thoughts with his master that night. "You know, Padawan," Master Tau began to lecture, "I've become very impressed in your skills of observation. I think you may be right about this Hannah individual. Such a skill is essential for a Jedi Knight..."
Sapph stopped listening after "Padawan." Tau only used that word when he was about to delve into a lengthy discourse about his training, or their mission, or history, or politics, or... Saphh saw movement out of the corner of his eye, and turned around to catch a brief glimpse of Hannah descending a stairwell in the corner of the room. Sapph took a quick glance at his master, and saw that he was immersed in the camera footage of their landing. He recognized this as a golden opportunity, and took it.
"If there was one area of your training I'm afraid you've been lacking, it's your..."
Tau turned to discover his apprentice was gone.
"...discipline." Tau followed his Padawan down the stairs.
The two Jedi reached the bottom of the stairwell and crept through the darkened lower levels. As they approached the end of the main hallway, Sapphiron observed a faint blue glow coming from one of the opened doorways. Inside, they could hear two voices, speaking in hushed tones.
"By my calculations, the CH-4NK0 droid will have recharged its fuel cells and will reactivate sometime tonight. It will still be hunting us." the first voice said, with caution.
A second voice, somewhat electronic, spoke next, "You must be very careful, Darth Nox. We saw what damage it can do when that toxic fog wa- BEHIND YOU!"
The hologram terminated, and Nox whirled around, red lightsaber instantly cutting through the dark. The two Jedi burst into the room. Tau ran straight for the Sith, attacking head on. Sapph strafed to the left, hoping to outflank their opponent. Nox was no novice fighter and saw the maneuver coming. She deflected Tau's attacks and delivered a powerful kick to his chest, sending him into the wall. She whirled and struck high and fast at the Padawan, quickly getting the better of him.
"Master Tau!" he called out, and his master delivered a strong force push in response, sending the Sith flying. Sapph rolled out of the way, and heard a sickening crunch as Nox crashed through the crumbling wall behind him and into a twisted piece of rebar, impaling her through the chest.
"Are you alright, Padawan?" Tau called out.
Sapph took one look at the mangled corpse, and saw there was no opportunity for interrogation. "Yes master, I'm fine. Thank you."
"We should get back upstairs before we're discovered down here. We don't know how many more there are."
"Did you hear what they said about that droid?"
"I did. We're going to have to be extra vigilant tonight..."
Darth Nox, who was hiding among the villagers as Hannah, a.k.a. Chanku, has been lynched.
Also, Gibraltarica has been lynched for inactivity, failing to vote in two consecutive day phases.
The second night phase has begun. Power roles, please PM the hosts with your actions. This night phase will last 24 hours.
