| Stark's lapses in self-control were few and far between; he'd already suffered one and refused to be goaded further into making more mistakes. Retrieving his blade, he wiped it clean, then, having examined her blaster briefly, appropriated it and stowed his remaining blade. "So you have some interest in Representative Vanden. You obviously know something of both of them," Stark mused aloud. "I doubt you're working for yourself. You must have a last name of sorts. No matter. I feel you will be far more forthcoming with answers in the near future." Flicking the blaster setting to stun, he paused a moment. "It would have gone far more easy for you if you had left Ana out of this. Perhaps, if you are lucky, we can talk more calmly in the near future." He raised the weapon and squeezed once.

| Cassi backed away from him again. She knew she wouldn't get far if she ran, but it was worth a shot. "It's Darcy. And I no one sent me. And no, can't leave her out of it. She's probably his weakness, like I know she is yours." She said as she glanced to her side some to see what was there. Since it was the second level, there was a bit of a cliff, a stream, some water falling, and a pool below. It had to have been too shallow, so that plan was out.
Then she heard the subtle sound of the blaster hum, and the flick of the toggle on its side and without a second thought she did the next best thing she knew to do. She ran, not very well, but enough to get her away from the stun of her own blaster.

| She would have been better off jumping for the pool, but Stark had to give her credit. The woman had spunk, but she was not, it struck him, used to being in situations where she had no control. As she turned and ran, Stark used the opportunity to run after her, his own speed quite good from his calisthenics and workouts. As he sped after her, the blaster in his fist pumped out a steady stream of stun blasts; all he needed was one good hit and she'd be out. Unfortunately for her, she had to know that there was no real escape, after all.

| Cassi darted into a line of trees, thankful for them to be able to deflect blasts and keep her moving enough to avoid them. It would be inevitable though, she was sure, but stunning was not a way to go out. That much she knew. She also knew that she couldn't keep this up for long. Her entire leg throbbed and her hand was still bleeding rather profusely. It wasn't at all that she was out of shape, quite the opposite.
Eventually though, Cassi got clumsy and one of Stark's blaster bolts caught her, in the back. She crashed to the mossy ground, absolutely out cold.

| It wasn't hard for Stark to restrain, even temporarily, the woman who'd come for him. It wasn't too hard to find his guard and rouse her. Stifling her apologies, he arranged for transport for her unconscious form, which was hastily covered and wrapped within the duster he was using, coupled with the jacket worn by Mosset. Overall, the transfer to an unmarked, nondescript hovertruck was rather easy and quickly taken care of. Secure in the knowledge they'd not been spotted, Stark and Mosset departed shortly afterwards, making their way to a private repulsorlimo and speeding off. Castle Stark was the objective, where the restrained prisoner would be taken inside quietly with a minimum of fuss. When Cassia did awake, she'd find herself in a rather barren room, strapped to a bed and machinery to monitor her vitals. Stark was there, looking relaxed, as was the female she'd knocked out, Larna Mosset, who still looked very annoyed, in addition to a handful of others she'd not met.

| "Oh what the hell....?" Cassi murmured as she woke to find her hands tethered down. She had expected it, sort of, but was annoyed none the less. Futilely, she pulled against the restraints before she finally noticed others in the room.
Well this was just peachy. "so.....". She started hesitantly, " Where am I?"

| "Where you are, Miss Darcy, is not quite important." She was, of course, deep in the bowels of Castle Stark. "What is important is what we know about you, and what we don't know. See, I know from public record, that you were born on Naboo. Other than that, I know precious little. That's what I'd like to know." Off to the side, Larna Mosset was mixing a few concoctions in beakers, changing some of this and that. Stark paid her no mind; she was preparing some truth serums for the woman who was likely to be resistant. Within the room's solitary light, which was focused upon Cassia, another shape moved in from the shadows. Rukk'khrik, the Noghri, looked down at the bound woman and leered; a very distressing look from one built like a Noghri. Malinara and Gadrid, both equally imposing with their frowns, were nearby as well.
"Why don't we start off politely, at least?"

| "So....you want to know about me, huh?". She said,albeit a bit sarcastically. "Everything?" Cassi asked. "Alright. Take a seat....it's a long story. ". she smirked. "Acutally, no its not. There is nothing in public record because technically, I don't really exist. Seems that way,anyway. Mother was a whore, so I don't know who my father was, etc. such a sob story,huh?"
Her gaze trailed across he room a moment to everyone there. "And I don't date, but if this handsome lug wants to go a few rounds, I'd be happy to." she said, referring to the big guy next to the bed. She almost seemed amused by it all. Truth was, she didn't care, and she wouldn't tell him anything.

| Rukk'khrik chuckled and spoke something in the harsh Honoghran language. Stark, who understood but could not speak it, simply sighed and shook his head. "No, no I'm afraid she does not have the claws to keep up with you. You've heard of Bavo Six and OV600, I assume? People in our field always tend to know about truth serums. Miss Mosset, here, is mixing up something that's similar to both, yet quite unpleasant on its own. You see, the more the adrenaline produced by the victim, the better the drug works. Therefore..." Stark glanced at Gadrid, who stepped forwards to deliver a light brush with one of his collapsible force pikes against Cassia's skin. The resulting shock would be greatly unpleasant.

| "Hey....I told you what you asked....I don't see any need for any drugging here. ". She said as she looked between them. Cassi narrowed her eyes some and glared at Stark. "Shouldn't have expected you to be an honest man. Can't blame you, really. Just not sure your whore is worth it.
Yes, the force pikes were unpleasant, but Cassi refused to give them the satisfaction of knowing it did sting and hurt.

| It wasn't the sting and hurt Stark wanted. It was the fact that her body would now be pumping adrenaline, which would assist the course of the drug she was about to be given. Stark, meanwhile, took a seat by her bed, his smile humorless. "We're all killers here, Miss Darcy. No need to be crude about things. I'll try once more. Who sent you? On whose behalf did you come? What was your purpose here and to what end does Ana Riley aid you?" Larna Mosset came over to the bedside with a rather small syringe, waiting for her to speak.

| "I told you that no one sent me." Cassi retorted. It was true, Rall hadn't sent her. He didn't even know where she was after she had left AMA from his facility a month or so before. "Therefore, I am not here on anyone's behalf." She said, gritting her teeth some and balling her hands into fists.
"Did you know we are the same age? Your fiancée and I, I mean. She doesn't have folks either. Not many orphanages on Naboo, folks know each other. "

| "So she knows you? A pleasant connection. Nonetheless, I don't believe you're acting on your own accord. You mentioned Miss Riley being a weakness to both Representative Vanden and myself. Are you trying to influence myself or him on a personal level? Are you attempting to influence intra-world politics? Where have you been since your time on Naboo, Miss Darcy? You have a unique skillset that some would pay highly for. Where did you gain this skill?" Stark kept the questions coming, holding Mosset back with the wave of a hand for now. At least the woman was giving some answers.

| "Damned if I know if she knew me, little snob that she was. She was gone long before I left, some aunt or something." She shrugged best she could and listened to the questions he fired at her.
"how many times am I going to have to tell you, Stark? NO ONE SENT ME." Cassi dropped we head back against the pillow and she sighed. "I've been everywhere. Everywhere you can imagine. I didn't keep a list or nothing, alright?". "And I definitely don't want anything to do with you, just a means to an end, alright?"

| "You know something, Miss Darcy?" Stark smiled again faintly and leaned forwards. "I believe you. Almost." Dropping his hand, he allowed Mosset to move forwards where she would, unless prevented somehow, inject the strapped-down woman with the concoction she'd created. A combination mental-persuasion coupled with a physical reactor that would cause her skin to break out in hives should she lie, it would begin working before long, helped along by a quick prod by Gadrid's force pike.
"A means to an end, Miss Darcy? What end would that be? Where did you come from prior to arriving at Lorrd? Do you work for the Empire, either as freelance or a direct agent?"
