An Evening in Coruscant

Djinn

"Well on a planet like this.. what more could we be looking for, my Master?" Djinn asked with a touch of innocence in his voice, genuinely not knowing the full extent of the answer.

He smiled. "We'll be looking at resources, both natural and man-made. That and cultual, force-related and historical factors."

He looked back at Djinn. "So, where do you think we will start?"

"I'm unsure." Djinn said, growing slightly irritated with the fact that his master would not simply tell him, forcing Djinn to look like a momentary fool before his master.

Aequitas rolled his eyes as he sensed the apprentice's thoughts. So powerful was Aequitas, that Djinn didn't even know. "My dear apprentice, I'm letting you choose. Like I said before, I expect leadership."

He motioned to the clip-board. "Pick anywhere, we'll go there first."

"Then I'd assume simply heading into town would be the best idea? Get a sample of both." Djinn said, almost in a questioning tone, as he looked to the clipboard.

Aequitas laughed. Then the car stopped. Aequitas motioned for Djinn to get out. As he did, Serratus, the High Mage slipped in the other door. The doors closed and the car sped off.

"Now that's done, Serratus, we'll need to split up. I'll take Militarial and Political uses, and you can take flora, fauna and civilisation. We'll discuss the rest later."

High Mage Serratus

"Very well m'lord. I think it would be best if you were dropped off first, seeing as I will no doubt be going rather deep into the Undercity."

In anticipation of the trip, Serratus was armed to the tooth, a flame carbine was linked to a pair of rather large fuel tanks on his back, a bandolier of Vrakolian spin-blades ran from his shoulder to his hip and in his hands he clutched a pair of giant, cleaver-like beskad. His hands themselves were adorned with a pair of crushgaunts and his rancor-tooth lightsaber hung from his belt.

Aequitas nodded. "Good luck and for the love of Shadow, stop antagonising the low-lifes." He smiled as the car pulled to a halt outside the Church of the Dark Side Chapter.

"I haven't been here in a while", he chuckled. "I'll make my own way back to the HQ. I'll see you there"

With that, Aequitas stepped out of the car and walked off, becoming invisible in the crowd.

Serratus shouted at the driver.

"You. Take me to the lowest level of the Undercity that you won't soil yourself from entering. Now."

Aequitas smiled as a car pulled up outside the Church’s Coruscant Chapter. He had just finished viewing it and was now ready to go to one of the main military barracks in the Empire. He himself had been stationed there while a Quartermaster in the Navy. He hoped to visit each Order while on Coruscant and then some other important buildings like towers, palaces and government offices.

He knew that many organisations moved to Kuat when Shadow set it up as capital but Coruscant was still very important. The Military had a strong presence here, the Mages kept their Headquarters of Exploration here, the Inquisitors kept Offices here and the Royal Guard also had troops stationed here too.

He had no doubt to what categorisation the planet would get but custom dictated he still visit the planet anyway; he had no problem doing this of course, but would have preferred if someone else did it.

The Grand Mage often met with the other Order Heads and the Emperor himself too as well as going to Naboo every week. Although the Moff Council had been dissolved, the Naboo still regarded Aequitas as their representative in the Empire and he was proud to speak for them too.

This train of thought carried him through the tour of the, quite large, Military complex as he ticked boxes and passed comments every now and again.

Serratus stepped out of the cab. Here among the lowest parts of the Coruscanti Undercity was the only place on the planet he would be able to find any living flora or fauna. However, in these dark depths, the strangest of creatures existed, explaining his present heavy armament. The ancient streets seemed deserted as he started walking and his terrified driver disappeared upwards. Apparently the triple in price wasn't worth staying. Serratus sighed. This wasn't good.

The glorious sun was sinking beneath the pinpricks that were the towers of Coruscant when Aequitas finally left the Royal Guards complex. He had just finished a tour with the Sergeant-at-Arms of the complex. He was growing weary of the visit as Coruscant was quite large and everything was spread over the the great solid sphere that was the planet.

He decided to visit the largest Sith structure in existence – the Imperial Palace. It was not far from here, a few minutes at most in a speeder. It was a magnificent palace, rich in history. Aequitas himself as an Order Head had an office there. He pulled out his comlink and spoke quickly, yet quietly, into it. A few moments later, a speeder descended from the dusty sky above where a never-ending stream of speeders manoeuvred their way through the course which was the Coruscant transport system.

Serratus began walking. Standing like a sitting duck wasn't going to help. Dim, dying lights flickered here and there but Serratus found himself relying almost entirely on the Force for navigation. Sensing movement nearby, he sheathed his beskad and drew the more powerful flamethrower. Apparently this movement alerted the nearby lifeform and as it started rapidly approaching Serratus, he fired off the flamethrower. Whatever the thing was, it was completely incinerated and fell to the ground screaming in pain. Serratus heard more movement, the sounds of many feet headed his way. This wasn't good.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Grand Mage stepped inside the Palace, the secretary he had there rushed up with a lot of paperwork for him. He groaned. "My dear, I am on official Order business and-", he started however, his Cerean secretary was having none of it. "Yes, Order business and this is business for your Order", she snapped.

Aequitas, grinning slightly, took the paperwork into his office and left it on his desk. Then, leavingby a side door started chuckling as he made his way to his ext destination, putting ticks and comments on his clipboard as he went.

Serratus started walking through the abandoned streets. He slid his knives into their scabbards, they wouldn't be much use now. He drew his flamethrower and used the Force to probe his surroundings. Despite this, his sense of perception was faltering and Serratus stumbled forward, causing a bit of noise. Suddenly he heard the sounds of claws scrambling across the floor. It stopped for a couple of seconds then restarted, even more frantically. Serratus felt the creature coming towards him in the dark and blasted it with his flamethrower. The creature erupted into violent red flame and started roaring and howling in pain. Serratus heard many more claws scratching against the ground.

"Uh-oh."

This wasn't good.
