Tags: Darth Malice, Mirshko Betna, Ra'hal LexorThe Sith Dreadnaught Dissolution exited hyperspace and slowly approached Dxun, besides it’s shields and engines, nothing else was really powered up. It wasn’t here to cause trouble, it was here on other matters. It slowed and stopped in orbit as it approached the Mandalorian fleet. “This is Darth Malice of the Sith Empire. I wish to speak to one of the clan leaders that resides within this system. I come on peaceful terms and wish to discuss a matter regarding a single mandalorian and their blatant disrespect to myself and the Sith Empire whilst within our borders and the slaughter of innocents that were only doing their duty. I have security surveillance of the incident and no doubt your mandalorian in question also has footage from his helmet camera. I would like safe passage to deliver my evidence in person and answer any questions that you may have.” Darth Malice and the Dissolution awaited a reply from Dxun to see if she would be given passage or if the fleet would open fire on her.

Darth Malice | Ra'hal LexorDxun - Kyr'am Spaceport - outlying The rains misted across the ground, leaving the grass sparkling in the dim light. It seemed to Mirshko, that rain was all the Dxun atmosphere ever produced. She sighed, and wiped in vain at the water that beaded on her visor. For a moment, she contemplated installing some sort of system that would turn the water to steam and evaporate it... but she wasn't all that sure if such a thing would work in Dxun's perpetually humid climate. It was an exercize in futility as far as she could tell. Her train of thought was cut off as her comm chirped. ANNE helpfully flassed an identifier tag across her HUD. She frowned and activated it with a simple eye movement. Such was the perks of her helmet's HUD system. She certainly hadn't expected someone to ask for her directly. But then.... she hadn't exactly been subtle at the meeting. Shaking her head slightly, Mirshko turned and retraced her steps slightly, heading towards the spaceport. The walk was mercifully short, and she was grateful for that. As she walked, she used practiced eye movements to draft a short reply, appending her approval codes. [[Allow the shuttle to land. As they have not assumed an agressive posture, I will meet with them, under the terms of the non-agression pact - RM Betna]]. She blinked twice, forwarding the message to the spaceport defense authority. She might not be as high-level as say.... A'den Kyr'am, but she was still trusted among the Mandalorians. Her own past not withstanding. She'd worked very hard to achieve her current post, and would gladly duel anyone who chose to challenge her on the matter. Shaking her head at the thought, she continued oon to the spaceport, arriving just ass she saw the shuttle descending through the perpetual mists.

Tags: Darth Malice, Mirshko Betna, Ra'hal LexorDarth Malice soon received a message from the planet granting her permission for safe passage to the planet surface. She sent a quick message to confirm her departure and left the bridge of the Dissolution to board a shuttle down to the planet. Malice soon exited the shuttle, she was wearing her old armor just minus the mask. She had chosen this because the scans from the Dissolution had shown the humid atmosphere. She was thankful she was greeted by a familiar looking armor "Wonderful weather here isn't it?" she joked "Mirshko isn't it?"

Darth Malice | Ra'hal LexorAt the question, Mirshko nodded. She remembered the woman from the meeting a couple weeks ago. And honestly, considering how that had played out, she was a bit surprised to see her here. She knew that whatever had occured to bring the Sith from her own spehere of influence had to be important. She took a moment to scan the hangar, as was her habit. And finding nothing out of the ordinary, she gestured for Malice to follow. She might not know terribly much about her, but rumors floated. Especially in times such as this. Sith of her status and skill were not to be trifled with. That much had been made clear at the meeting itself. She wondered for a moment how the other woman might know her name, but she realized the the Sith Empire likely had extensive intelligence on most of the higher-ranking Mandalorians. Not that Mirshko really considered herself to be such... but others seemed to think so, so she rolled with it. As with most things with the Mandalorians, they were a ppragmatic and practical people. And they honored each others skills and accomplishments. As the old saying whent... No one cared who your father was, but what kind of Mandalorian you yourself would be. Shaking her head after a moment, she turned to look sideling at Malice. "It is... unusual for those who are not Mandalorian to visit our worlds. Especially one such as youself." She kept her tone even. "How can I be of assistance?"

Darth Malice looked at Mirshko and sighed as she pulled out a datapad with the security footage loaded onto it. “I had an incident with a mandalorian who both disrespected me and the Sith on korriban before proceeding to kill innocents who were only doing their duty. I will admit I did crush his helmet slightly whilst it was still on his head. The footage will show things in order of events. I have come to settle this matter in an honourable matter and under the jurisdiction of one who was at the meeting. One who understands that right now we do not need tension between our people or to cause a dispute between our people.”

As the video played, it would show that though perhaps his words were in the wrong. The initial contact of violence procured from Darth Malice. When it was defended, no assault returned on her or the Sith. However; the video then shows He fell upon his knee, and then that is when the demeanor changes. His eyes as he raised his head specifically a different color which insinuates the darkside being present. The fit of rage occurs after, directed by the darkside which amplified his emotions. He attacked the closest people, the Acolytes and any Guards which sought to intervene. Soon enough he stopped though, and the two supposedly made an agreement, then he left.

Darth Malice , Ra'hal Lexor She took the datapad in her gloved fingers with a nod. She had to admit some amount of curiousity, but also concern. After a moment, she pressed her thumb on the datapad's activation key as and watched closely as the recording began to play. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the interplay between them, noting the audio as well. Everything seemed fine... until.... she paused the playback and zoomed in on his face, studying it closely. She knew those eyes, and had seen them before on many. She saw them staring back at her from Malice's face, as a matter of fact. And yet, here she was speaking calmly and coherently with Mirshko; not in some blind fit of rage like the recording showed Canderous having fallen into. She sighed heavily and lifted a hand to rub at where the bridge of her nose might be, were she not wearing a helmet. "Thank you for bringinng this to my attention." she told Malice firmly. "It... concerns me that he would allow such to... overtake him so completely. He was essentially a guest on your world, and should have conducted himself accordingly." She stared down at the frozen image on the screen. "While I cannot comment on his apparent Force ability... as I have not experienced it myself, it does appear that he has some degree of connection." She gestured towards the image once more. "And that he's letting his more... primitive emotions take control in such instances, rather than thinking things hrough."
She shook her head once more. "I cannot deny that there are many among the mandalorians who have some degree of senssitivity to the Force. It is only natural, given how the Force permeates all things." She held up a finger then. "Hoewever, it is the Mandalorian viewpoint, that such things should not be used in place of those abilities and skills which we possess as Mandalorians first and foremost. To do so would be a dishonor to our entire way of life." She sighed once more. "And he should know better than to go around insulting those whom are acting as his hosts while in territory not his own."
Taking a deep breath, she looked at Malice once more. "I do not know what the Sith customs would be in such an instance, but I get the impression they would be far harsher in some ways than our own. What I propose, is this. That the two of you face each other in our Battle Circle and duel it out to settle the mater. No Force. Blades or hand to hand. Is that acceptable?" She paused, and typed out a short message, sending it to Canderous' comm. [[PLease meet me at the training circle in the Kyr'am compound on Dxun. Immediately. - RM Betna]]

Tags: Darth Malice, Mirshko Betna, Ra'hal Lexor, Darth Malice listened intently to Mirshko's words, thinking back to the days when she served beside a Mandolorian or two back in the days of the Old Republic. "That is true, his show of disrespect to one of my positioning would of had him killed or if he was lucky he would have been stripped of his things and left to the wildlife to finish him off. The second option is a highly rare occurrence though." She rested her hand on her stomach as she thought about things and the child that she carried. She looked back up at Mirshko "I accept the terms. I will meet him in the battle circle. I came here to deal with matters amicably so I will adhere to your customs."

Canderous received the comlink request by Betna. He laid in his ship recovering from Miss. Teriyaki nearly killing him. Bruises laid upon his body in almost every spot.. His eyes flickered over what was said. Knowing the events which had transpired prior, Fett narrowed his eyes. Standing up to his feet, he limped toward the holoprojector, and began a recorded message with hands behind his back. "Greetings Rally Master. Not often would I call you, however; given the current circumstances. It is necessary and needed. For quite some time I have stood by our way of life, raised as a Fett. Honor, Courage, Commitment. Several qualities which create a Mandalorian. Make them what they are. In the days of old, a foreigner would not walk upon our planets demanding something, or asking of us what is unfair. It is safe to assume, Darth Malice has came to whatever planet you're on. That is not a concern of mine, I do not harbor emotions against her. TRUE Mandalorians keep their heads high, and their chest out. Not bending the knee to anyone, Sith included. The deterioration of the Mandalorian way of life has sickened me to my core. The Battle Circle was meant for Mandalorians who have things to settle with their own people, or by a foreigner who seeks the title of Mand'alor. Honorable Combat to dissolve differences within the people. If you have called me to combat Darth Malice. It is refused, it is not considered Dar'manda because it is not between two Mandalorians. If you seek to pursue the matter, I advise against it. "His eyes briefly lowered to the ground in thought, hands remaining behind his back. He knew there may be repercussions to his actions and he was more than capable of handling them. "To you, Darth Malice. Governess of Korriban, Slayer of those who oppose your will. My words were wrong, your actions upon Korriban made that clear. Consumed by the rage I acted out because of the pull of the Darkside. I have no folly with you, and you shall soon see this through action, not words alone. If you seek more punishment on my behalf. I am in no position to tell you what to do. But I can request that you simply give a window of opportunity. If my abilities disappoint you, Miss. Teriyaki may be the one who dispatches my life. But if they are enough by YOUR standards of judgement. I ask you allow me to pledge my services officially to Miss. Teriyaki."Eyes once more reverted high, staring off into the hull of his ship. The final words from Canderous, now known as Melkor was heard. "I never thought I would see the day with the Mandalorians held so much cowardice that they refused to respect themselves. It is bitter to taste, to see, to feel. When our people once rule the galaxy, burning all that came their way. Now, they kneel at the first sign of a superior force against them. The Mandalorians have fought wars where it was a five to one opposition and still come out victorious. I only hope my brothers and sisters can get their heads out of the sand, and remind themselves who they are. Before the way of life is lost, bled dry of it's honor. Have a good day, Rally Master Betna. As well as you, Darth Malice, Governess of Korriban." Mirshko Betna, Darth Malice,

Darth Malice, Ra'hal LexorMirshko started slightly as her comm went off with a quiet warble. She'd expected him to come in person. And yet, something felt slightly... off. She couldn't put her finger on what it was. She tapped a control on her gauntlet, accepting the comm. After a moment, his hologram flickered into being between them. Her eyes narrowed, and she listened closely to his words. "I am well aware of the qualities which make one a Mandalorian. I would not have earned my current position if I did not." Her voice was pure ice, and she didn't much care.She held her visor level with his own holographic one. "You best tread carefully, vod... You have it wrong. Neither I, nor any other Mandalorian is bowing to the Sith or anyone else. I have no idea where you got that notion into your head." Her gaze bored into his, taking note of the various bruises and other injuries. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm. No one insulted her honor, or that of her family. No one. She continued after a moment. "If you must know, Malice came to me, requesting that the two of you be allowed to settle your differences in a manner which was befitting of our customs. And don't you dare go off about knowing Mandalorian customs better than anyone. I was raised in this culture just as you were. I know our history. I also know that there were instances where one asked to prove themselves or settle disputes, even though they themselves were not Mandalorian. It has been allowed in times past." She found her gaze locked on him as he continued. But, she was inwardly seething. Her gaze flicked towards Malice, calculating as she tried to wrap her mind around everything that Canderous had said. 'Was he right? Ha they truly lost their way...or were his words those of one who himself had drifted so far from their way of life?' She frowned, thinking as her gaze went back to Malice as the transmission finished.

Darth Malice watched the exchange and took notice of the injuries shown on him. They were not caused by him, someone had sought him out and inflicted those upon him. She was respected and was angry at who ever had done this. No order was given to do this to him, most of all now whilst the galaxy was at some level of peace. Malice turned her attention back at Mirshko "It would appear that he has wasted both our time. I do hope that this has not soured our current alliance? What course of action would normally be taken when something like this occurs?" She asked curiously, she had dealt with mandalorians in the past but never been witness to this part of their culture.

Darth MaliceMirshko took a deep breath to attempt to calm herself, but one who was perceptive would be able to sense the shift in her emotions, and the tensing of her shoulders. "He claims that to refuse to resolve the issue between the two of you does not make him Dar'manda -" She paused, and frowned. "Dar'manda is a term we use to describe those who have strayed from the path, and from what makes each of us a Mandalorian." Her frowned deepened. "He is young, from what I understand. And seems to think he knows all. I have seen more than he probably ever has in regards to war, and what it truly means to be a Mandalorian. I have had my own commitment to this way of life tested in ways he could not imagine." She sighed heavily. "Part of me wants to track him down and beat him senseless for the insult to my honor, and to my family. But I wonder if the effort would worth the satisfaction of the action itself."

Darth Malice could sense that Mirshko was troubled by this development and listened to her words "So he has deserted his clans teachings? In the empire he would be taken in for re-evaluation, however if he was part of the sith academy. His punishment would have been more severe. I do not tolerate this kind of thing from my underlings or anyone under my ruling." she cleared her throat "However that is just myself, I believe his punishment is down to you to decide and I will honor your choice." Darth Malice smiled at Mirshko "It's good to see a female mandalorian in charge of things again by the way. Things always seem more controlled and efficient." Mirshko Betna ,

Darth Malice Mirshko chewed at her bottom lip in thought, and once more took a deep breath as she tried to get her emotions under control. It wasn't easy. Something Mom had always given her a hard time about. 'Mom....' Her concentration faltered for a moment before she began again, focusing on her breathing for a moment before starting in on her dissembling. It was a technique her father had taught her when she was little. Not originally intended for Force Users, but instead to defend one's thoughts from prying. And it worked - as long as she could keep her concentration up. It involved taking one thought - or even a song and putting it on a loop in your mind. it worked best on happy memories, not ones fraught with intense emotions. She spoke up after a moment. "I would definitely like to know where he got the notion that we are suddenly bowing to other factions, because that is certainly not the case. There is a difference between that, and what is actually occurring - which is a non-aggression pact." She shook her head slightly. "I would also like to know why - and how he thinks he can best me in combat. As to what I'd actually like to do? Already touched on that. But, it seems as if what I want is a rather moot point, given the developments."

Darth Malice nodded "I would agree with you there. I have never been one to have the mandalorians bow to me. I prefer them as allies rather than subjects personally." She took Mirshko's words to mind and tried to think of a solution. "I will have my imperial agents keep a look out for him. Anything I find on him I will bring to your attention. Consider it a show of good faith between our people. Should we all survive this upcoming war, I would like to help out people. Is that something that would interest you?"
