Grievous shook his head in irritation. "You know, for a bodyguard, you don't seem very keen on stopping them. For all we know, they work for whoever sabotaged the Hyperdrive." Grievous sighed. "It doesn't matter. From this point on until my return, you will be protecting Lissarkh and, until the Malevolence gets back to Trandosha, OOM-6 as well."

"This is...amusing, to say the least." Spectre droned, chuckling for the first time since he met Grievous, which sounded very computerized by the face plate. Soon a number of large, armored GEKKO-like machines marched into the bridge, their massive gatling guns poised and ready, though they were not expecting a fight. "Follow. We will return to the breach to leave the ship." a voice, similar to Spectre's, droned, the familiar crab drone scuttling into view between its larger bodyguards...

Grievous looked between Spectre and the crab drone, then said, "Figures. You can't trust anyone these days." Pushing past Spectre and the drone, he walked out of the bridge, hissing to himself, simultaneously sending a myriad of messages to Trandosha and to nearly every droid on the ship...

"Don't worry, General. No harm will come to your people while you are away." Spectre droned, following after the large machines, which nearly took up the entire hallway at some points. "All will be explained in due time." he added as they neared the entry point, the pod itself blocking the vacuum of space beyond. The machines stepping inside, flanking Grievous, while the crab drone scuttled in as well, Spectre stopped in front of the metallic transport. "I will meet up with you shortly. First, however, I must attend to a few things." Spectre droned, nodding to the General as the pod doors were sealed, plunging them into darkness, hoisted back up into the machine above, while Spectre himself headed toward the Malevolence's hanger...

Grievous sighed. "So, who is the one you're trying to lure out, and why does it involve me?"

Lissarkh, having received a message of Grievous' capture through her comlink, had immediately stopped any searching of Vassek and contacted Vardia, requesting a speech with Serephir or other high-ranking official...

"In due time, General. In due time." the crab drone responded, just as the pod's sides were reopened, allowing its occupants to step out into the interior of the giant machine, a few other pods on either side of their own, an equally massive, yet sealed, hatch below them. "Excuse the...mediocre living conditions. We will arrive at the secure location soon." the crab drone said calmly, scuttling along the hanger-like structure, the machine itself detaching from the Malevolence.

Meanwhile, Spectre soon arrived in the hanger of the flagship, once again navigating its massive body as fast as he could. "OOM-6, open the hanger for my departure, if you will." Spectre messaged the droid as he climbed into his own personal craft...

"Great, I feel like I'm living in luxury already," muttered Grievous irritably, following the drone.

OOM-6 opened the hangar door, though the energy shield was still active, allowing Spectre's ship through, but not anything fired on the hangar, as OOM-6 took no chances...

The drone chuckled dryly, scuttling toward another part of the machine, just as the machine itself floated among its brethren. Spectre's ship soon emerged from the Malevolence's hanger, soaring up to the machine that Grievous was currently held on, before disappearing within a small hanger built into the machine's main body. The tarantula sentry, along with its brethren, entered hyperspace, leaving the crippled Malevolence behind...

After a few minutes, Spectre emerged from a door that led to the pods, spying Grievous and the crab drone. "Ah yes, there you two are. You are free to ask as many questions as you like, General, and I will do my best to answer them." he droned, arms once again folded as he stared at the cyborg...

The Malevolence, its Hyperdrive having been repaired by the combined efforts of the Covenant Engineer, which had apparently stowed away with the Drones, and the Buzz Droids, launched into Hyperspace, not needing engines to do so as it headed back to Trandosha with all speed...

Grievous walked up to Spectre, resisting the urge to throttle his former ally. "Explain yourself! Who are you after that requires my assistance?! Maybe if you had told me about this, I could've gone along without you attacking my ship and threatening the entirety of the TGDA through my kidnapping!"

"Then there would be no chance of our target revealing himself. They have to believe you are a captive, I'm afraid." Spectre explained, unmoving, despite the cyborg's anger. "Revan is who we are truly after. Have been for quite some time...If we simply asked for your assistance, Revan would simply catch wind of our intentions, hiding in the heart of his territory as he does right now." Spectre continued, now pacing in front of Grievous. "With your capture, and your forces' weakened state from the fighting, they will no doubt assist the aid of the Vardians and Empire. Revan, arrogant as he is, will search personally, if we provide a good enough opportunity. Its a shame you have to be taken away by such...barbaric methods." he droned, still pacing...

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:32 am

Grievous, after a moment, nodded. "Shadow Haven. That IS who you work for, isn't?" It would make sense, considering Shadow Haven's vehement dislike for the Empire...

by **TyrannoTitan** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:35 am

"Yes indeed. I don't just work for them. Its much more then that." Spectre droned, shaking his head, having stopped pacing for the moment. "We've met before, you see. We needed an inside man, to manipulate the situation into exposing Revan...as they say, where better to hide from your enemies then right under their nose?" he continued, chuckling once again...

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:38 am

Grievous was confused. "The only member of Shadow Haven I've met was..." He leaned forward, his eyes staring hard at Spectre's helmet. "You're the one I dueled during that battle, isn't it?"

by **TyrannoTitan** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:43 am

"Yes..." Spectre droned, face plate retracting with a sharp hiss, folding down into the armor of his neck. It was the face of the man Grievous had fought so long ago...Grey Fox, as he was called. His face was just as mutilated as the back of his head, one eye completely replaced with a cybernetic one, while various plates ran in and out of his skin. "Any other questions, General?" Fox gasped, having been forced to breath by himself, which was a difficult task, compared to the aid of the suit...

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:44 am

Grievous nodded. "One more: what happened to you? I doubt our fight did anything like that..."

by **TyrannoTitan** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:49 am

"No...our fight was largely pointless where damage was concerned. This was the result of a few...accidents which forced us to retreat from our original home planet." Fox said, breathing evening out slowly. Thinking for a few seconds, Fox looked back at Grievous, somewhat urgently. "Seems we've made a bit of a miscalculation...if your allies discover us as your captors, I can only hope they stay far from the abandoned planet. I will have to lead them in another direction..." he trailed off, thinking, while the crab drone scuttled off deeper into the machine, trying to determine how close they were from their destination...

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:52 am

Grievous crossed his arms. "Why? What happened to your planet?" He didn't like the sound of that. If a race could force Shadow Haven to abandon a planet the TGDA and Empire couldn't take with combined firepower, he would definitely have a tough time against them...

by **TyrannoTitan** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 4:58 am

"Our own fault...after the Empire's invasion, we were caught up in improving our society as a whole...which, as you can see, we did. But we pushed it too far...and we lost so much because of it." Fox explained, shaking his head as he resumed pacing. "We were able to seal it off onto the planet. We made sure it had no means of escape...but if your allies land on the planet's surface..." he once again trailed off, knowing full well that blathering on about it would not help the situation, but had to find a solution, and fast...

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:00 am

"I can send them a message, if necessary," offered Grievous, his antennae swiveling slightly. "I can still contact them."

by **TyrannoTitan** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:06 am

"I'm afraid you can't. You know fully well that you are not a prisoner...but your allies must think so. As such, this makeshift transport, as well as the deemed location, blocks all communications from going out, excluding that directly controlled by the operators. Don't worry, I will be returning to Transhoda to ensure the safety of your niece as well as General Serephir. I will keep them away from the planet as best as I can." Fox explained somewhat quickly, feeling their machine transport drop out of hyperspace. "Ah, we've arrived. I will show you to your quarters before I take my leave. I am still open to questions." Fox continued, heading toward the door he had entered from...
