| Returning to his craft that was grounded on Tatooine, Havoc did a quick spot check around it to ensure that there was no tampering with. After that was complete, the Jedi entered the canopy of his fighter and would power it up. The docking fee had been paid and the Jedi was free to leave, so he did just that. Glows from his engines would emit as it came to life. Slowly but surely, the fighter would hover from the ground. Gripping the controls and throwing more power into the engines, the Jedi would point his craft towards the sky, where he would blast off at modest speed to exit the planet quickly, but in a fashionable manner. From the viewports, the skies of Tatooine would rush past Havoc's head and eventually disappear into a black and white scenery that was space. With Tatooine getting more and more behind him, Havoc would then program the coordinates provided by Shiva to meet him. Positioning the fighter into a certain part, the hyperdrive system would give Havoc a read-out of his route and he would then pull down on the lever, sending him into the speed of light towards the destination.

| The Providence-class carrier Shield of Justice was mobile out past the Outer Rim. It was apparently not escorted, but the Sword of Justice, Shiva's Munificent, was only a few light minutes jump away. The coordinates given to Havoc had been left with a small relay satellite; one that would alert Shiva to ships dropping out into a little-traveled area, as well as a scanner to identify the vessel type and relay it back to Shiva's vessel. For now, the Separatist commander was content to wait in his own quarters. The meeting with the Jedi was likely to be interesting. Always wary for tricks, Shiva had prepared ahead of time. No less than sixteen B2 battle droids would be on station, as well as four of the infamous MagnaGuards.

| The Jedi sat motionless as his fighter roared towards the destination in Hyperspace. His mind would however, be in full force, just thinking about what happened in his life thus far. It wasn't exactly pretty from going from the life of a Jedi, to that of a fugitive. And the thing that bothered Havoc the most, was the fact that his land was seized by the government, or the fact that he like the other Jedi had bounties on their head, was the fact that everything ran on one big lie. The night everything happened, Havoc had been fighting a fierce battle with Seperatist forces to retake a Communications Bunker, and those metal heads sure as hell weren;t ready to give it up anytime soon. Havoc always assumed that because of the heavy loses was what helped him out the most, because as soon as he took the bunker, was when the order had been given. Clones were claimed to be perfect, but the Jedi was one step ahead of all his forces... Several moments passed and it was time exit hyperspace. WIth the flip of a switch, the engines would re-direct the power back to the ship and assume normal speeds. As Havoc pulled out of hyperspace, there in front of him was a satellite. Grinning some, Havoc begun to get angry. "When this is all over... I'm going to shove my boot so far up his..." However he was interupted from a strange disturbance in his controls, which signaled to the Jedi that his vessel was in fact being scanned. This was when Havoc begun to get a little cautious. To by some time, he would just fly in circles. Whatever was being sent, probably was going to go to Shiva, but if not... Havoc would make sure he got out of there... ASAP.

| Moments after the squat little Jedi interceptor emerged from hyperspace, another ship followed, its signature masked and its signal jammer active. Anyone perceptive enough would notice the unusual ship, for the barest of seconds that it remained, before once more jumping away. Tracking Havoc had seemed daunting, for a short time, especially considering how blatantly he'd been ignored on Dantooine. It wasn't a matter he felt the need to pursue further; no doubt the Empire already had its hands digging deep into the policies and infrastructure of Dantooine's governing body. Luckily for Fett, there weren't a great deal of Eta-2 Actis-class starfighters running the space lanes these days, not since most of their pilots had been put on their funeral pyres. And with the network of contacts he'd built on rim worlds like Tatooine, it had only been a matter of time before the report came in that a Jedi was probably hiding on the run-down desert world. And so, he'd waited, with patience bred of learning from and out-growing the best bounty hunters the galaxy had to offer. He'd shut down all but the most essential of Slave I's systems, running her on silent mode with little more than her shields, sensor suite and sensor mask active. Once the small Jedi ship had been detected leaving the planet, he was on course to follow, keeping himself hidden and performing a subtle scan to determine trajectory and destination. After jumping back out of the system, Fett collated data that he'd been able to collect, then plotted a course to take him back into the system with his exit point located within the sattelite's sensor shadow, masking him from detection while he waited to make his move...

| When the verification had finally been received by Shiva, a broadcast via hypercomm was sent to the satellite to be in turn broadcast to Havoc. Within it were the next set of jump coordinates which would take the Jedi out past the Outer Rim, where a shuttle awaited. If he made the jump, Havoc would be cordially greeted and instructed to slave his craft's navigation system to that of the shuttle in preperation to be taken to Shiva without further issues.

| Getting the coordinates, Havoc would plot another jump. However a disturbance would alert the Jedi; he was not alone. As he swirled around a little, going at top speed, he would pull the lever as soon as the coordinates were ready and jump to Shiva's location.

| The shuttle that was to meet Havoc was where it was meant to be. Once the Jedi arrived, a few calculations were made and a data message was sent to Havoc's fighter, requesting remote access to the navigation systems. If allowed, they would be slaved together and then, make the jump to the spot where Shiva had requested the meeting, beyond the Outer Rim.

| Tracking the small ship was easy for Slave I, its sensor suite constantly in a state of upgrade by its forward-thinking master. The ship, Fett reflected, was probably one of the only things he cared about enough to dote upon, though at the end of the day, it was still another piece of his well-maintained arsenal. Another penetrative scan showed the interceptor's trajectory and plotted jump, and barely had the Jedi disappeared once more into hyperspace than Fett emerged from hiding, keeping his sensor jammer and sensor mask active, on the off-chance that the sattelite was capable of transmitting as well as broadcasting. When he emerged behind the interceptor, Fett was ready; not willing to continue the game of cat and mouse through hyperspace, he flipped a switch on the console before him, bringing online the concealed tracking beacon launcher in the hull of his ship. What he hadn't expected was the presence of another ship, seemingly waiting for the Jedi. So, he thought to himself, you have allies. This might be worth more than I'd anticipated. Firing off a pair of tracking beacons, one at the wing support of the Jedi Interceptor and one at the engine cluster of the shuttle, he pinged the nearest Imperial fleet his location, on the off chance things were about to get hairy. He waited, maintaining a steady distance, though at this stage, detection wasn't an issue. There weren't many places to hide in space with a tracking beacon stuck to your ship, whether aware of it or not.

| Piloting his vessel toward's Shiva's vessel, he opened communications. "This is Havoc, requesting permission to dock. I have a meeting with Shiva." Was all the Jedi would speak. As for the homing beacons Fett had launched at Havoc, it came to the Jedi's attention, but all he though it to be was a hunch at best. Therefore, he would crank up the ship's speed and start to out maneuver the beacons, randomly turning as quick as his reflects would allow him and going as fast as his vessel would allow. Havoc would open up comms again. "And the permission had better come snappy!" He shouted.

| The shuttle, a Theta-class T-2c, was maneuverable enough that when the ship, easily identified by visual markings as Slave I, came out of hyperspace shortly behind the Jedi's starfighter, it was able to rotate and fire a pair of quad laser cannon bursts from each of its forward guns at the craft, all the while accelerating, so it could well be hit or miss whether or not the tracking beacon struck the shuttle. Either way, the secrecy of the meeting was blown. The shuttle's pilot replied quickly enough to Havoc though. "Set a return course for Tatooine. We will rendezvous there and recalculate the jump to Shiva." Taking his own advice, the shuttle pilot oriented the craft in the proper direction and prepared to initiate a hyperjump, barring a return attack.

| Despite his tracking beacons missing their targets, Fett wasn't so easily dissuaded; and as the Theta-class shuttle opened fire, he realised that there definately was something else going on here, and it had been wise not to overlook the other vessel. Putting the ship into a tight roll to starboard and out of the path of the quad turbolasers, he pushed his shields to full, then briefly cut power to his starboard thruster, bringing him in a tight arc which positioned him at an angle where he could see both the Jedi starfighter and the shuttle. Re-engaging the starboard thruster, he sent a spray of cannonfire from his rapid-fire cannons across the bow of the retreating shuttle, as a warning, then followed the Jedi interceptor's course. Interesting as the shuttle's presence was, he was here for a specific target. He fired another homing beacon, and allowed his tractor beam projector to be detected as it came online; hopefully, those two alone would be enough to distract Havoc while Fett performed yet another deep scan of the ship, noticing that the shuttle had peeled away in a different direction, and predicting another hyperjump. "I can keep this up longer than you can, Jedi..." he said into the ship-to-ship comm, on the off-chance anyone was listening.

| Havoc grinned as he spun his fighter around. His fingers randomly entering hyperspace coordinates as he continued to dodge and weave around. Nodding some, the course was ready and there was hardly any way for Fett to track the Jedi this time, not with one more trick up his sleeve. "Try it... bounty hunter..." Was all Havoc would reply as he hit a button that would begin a system's dump, therefore making it impossible for Fett to strongly scan the Jedi's vessel. As the same time, Havoc thrusted down the control and his engines roared to life as he blasted off into hyperspace. The only bad part was that Havoc was now on an interception course for some random destination...

| The shuttle had one more trick up its sleeve that it utilized right before it jumped. The heavy laser cannon mounted in the rear had a clear field of fire on the bounty hunter's vessel, and the gunner opened fire in short bursts, getting off a good nine shots total before the ship disappeared towards Tatooine. It would be up to Havoc to link up with them there.

| With cool calculation, Fett rolled Slave I out of the firing arc of the rear cannon, though his shields did absorb two of the shots fired his way, causing the ship to buck and alarms to ring out through the cockpit, accompanied by flashing red lights. He spared a glance at the uplink icon on his HUD, and saw his shields were holding at a steady 97%; they must have hit him point-blank, to even bring his experimental shielding down by such an increment. "Shoulda taken the hint..." Fett muttered to himself, adjusting course to follow the shuttle; Havoc had jumped away, and while his trajectory was logged, the clever barve had wiped his systems before executing the jump. He'd have to spend a little extra time following up on the Jedi this time, but he still had a few investigative techniques up his sleeve. The shuttle, now the focus of Fett's attention, appeared to be spooling up for a hyperjump of its own. Thinking quickly, he fired his last tracking beacon, aware that the shuttle's pilot would momentarily have to surrender control to the hyperdrive, and that moment would be all the beacon needed to latch itself to the retreating vessel. If Fett couldn't track the Jedi, he'd put his chances on the mysterious contact.

| Indeed, the tracking beacon did fly true just before the shuttle jumped to Tatooine, which would give Fett the ability to track said shuttle. Meanwhile, the Shield of Justice had moved, heading out of its area and into a hyperjump, escorted by its secondary vessel. Shiva's position had possibly been compromised.
