RE: Star Crossed Lovers
Trysta’s commlink started to beep causing a look of frustration to wash over her face. Using the Force, she caused her commlink to float in to her hand. She snatched the commlink from the air and scanned it. A surprise washed over her face as she leaned forward and placed her finger over Jaden’s lips again. “It’s Graff” she said and added, “be quiet!”
Before he could react, she activated the commlink in voice only mode. “Oh hey there Graff” she said trying to sound pleasantly.
The bluish hologram of Graff appeared in her hand as the commlink was activated. He appeared in a military uniform with his large double-bladed lightsabers on his back. His uniform was loss fitting but clearly representative of someone of authority. “Good morning Trysta. Yet you sound wide awake. Either a long night or early day,” he asked almost playfully. He then added, “is something wrong with your commlink? Your image is not displayed.”
Trysta glanced at Jaden, as she took in their equally naked forms. She smiled to Jaden as she spoke, “well, let’s just say it’s a bit of both and I am not decent.” There was an equally playful tone in her voice. “What can I do for you?”
Graff nodded, “I have an urgent mission for you. I need you to travel to the Lo’Uran system. The situation there has heated up. Our spies of spotted a Jedi task force of two Venators escorting a pair of Acclamators. Based on our best estimates, this task force will arrive within two days. Frija is on world with a light guard force, negotiating Lo’Uran’s entry in to the OPA. I need you to depart immediately for Lo’Uran to support Frija.”
Trysta broke in as Graff took a breath, “um, that sounds like a heavy force. Am I to evacuate Frija or is this a final stand situation?”
Graff shook his head, “If you would have allowed me to finish, you would have heard that its neither. I have ordered the Second OPA Division to link up with you. The OPA doesn’t have a horse in this race. But should the Lo’Uran government request our support and Frija authorizes it. Led our troops in defense of Lo’Uran. You are not to engage the Jedi Forces unless Frija authorizes it. We are not yet ready for a direct conflict with the Jedi. Make a good show of force, BUT do not provoke them in to conflict. Is that clear!”
Trysta nodded, “it’s clear, Prophet” she said playfully. The title caused a cross look to come over his face. But before he could speak, she asked, “what if the Jedi Assassinate Frija. As you have heard from my report yesterday, they sent a Hunter Squad to murder me.”
He smiled, “don’t worry about the Hunters that the Council had sent. I have given them a target that they can’t resist. They won’t be a factor for long. If the Jedi otherwise succeed in assassinating Frija. Notify me at once. We will deliver a powerful message to the Republic regarding murdering of our leadership. Any questions?”
Trysta glanced at Jaden before she shok her head, “No sir. I will depart as soon as my ship is ready.” She turned the commlink off as she gazed in to Jaden’s eyes. She removed her finger from his lips as she spoke, “I am a loyal soldier, but you will always have my heart.” She tilted her head to the side as she added, “I don’t expect you to betray your brother. But do I have your heart?” As she waited for his answer, she typed a message in to her commlink for the Spaceport Authority to prep her shuttle.
