Tau and Sapphiron were eating breakfast when Sapph saw something from outside the window.
"A ship!" he cried out. "And it's crashing!"
Tau closed his eyes for a moment, then remarked, "I believe that there are survivors."
"Then the Sith will probably go looking for them, like they attacked us!" exclaimed Sapph.
"Indeed," responded Tau. "We must investigate."
The Brotherhood of Darkness had, of course, detected the crashing ship. A brief meditation session had determined that there were, in fact, survivors. Lords Aragonn and Bodobol went to investigate the crash, with Darth Seroim remaining behind.
As the pair approached the crash site, they heard voices in a nearby clearing. Darth Bodobol grinned to her companion in satisfaction. We have them now, they thought together, a weak telepathic link conveying the brief thought.
Several hundred meters away, Master Tau and his Padawan sensed the Sith's Force signatures. Evidently, they weren't anticipating the need to mask their abilities.
Together, they narrowed the distance toward their enemy.
Dr. Ben Hydra had just finished recording data from his weather sensor.
"It looks like there's going to be a storm incoming, folks," he told the others. "Better get prepared."
"And how do we do that, exactly?" asked Barnes.
Suddenly, two cloaked figures ran into the clearing. They raised there arms, and the scientists were slammed onto the ground, unable to move.
Hydra lay there, helpless, when suddenly the invisible force pinning him down disappeared, and he found himself able to move again.
Sitting up, he recognized the two Jedi that had been sent to Nika, brandishing their lightsabers.
"Sith, you are under arrest," said the older of the two Jedi, and then the pair ran toward the cloaked figures—Sith, as the Jedi called them.
The four Force-users became a blur of motion, and Hydra couldn't see at all what was going on. The moves seemed almost... dancelike, as if the physical fight was merely the surface of a deeper, more complex battle underneath.
And as quickly has the fight had begun, it was over. Hydra saw one of the Jedi cut off the arm, then the head of one of the Sith. The other Sith seemed to realize the futility continuing the fight, and disappeared into the surrounding forest.
The two Jedi began to walk toward the stunned scientists. "Greetings," the older one said. "I am Jedi Master Tau. I apologize for the inconvenience we must have caused you."
xXTheHydraXx, a.k.a. Darth Aragonn, a Sith, has been voted off and killed.
