| Illiandra and Fenrir had left Prakith as quickly as possible, for more reasons than just the orders that Rath Deschain had handed down to her. Obviously, her superior hadn't found out about her time with Kal Thanatos, in his haste to depart. Of course now there were more important things to do. She settled herself into a seat on the shuttle and flipped through the report she had been given. Fenrir laid contently at her feet, purring like a madman before he rolled onto his back and stretched out his leg to touch her knee with his paw.
"It is alright, my pet. You will be coming with me, but you musn't eat anyone. Promise mummy." She smiled and reached down, scratching the beasts chin idly as she put the report down. It didn't take long for the ship to get off world and dock with the Dark Words, the High Inquisitors ship. She would pull herself up and smooth the black sheath dress that she was wearing.
"Come along, precious. We have new friends to meet." She murmured, and the Nexxu followed obediently.

| The Dark Words was a Vindicator-class heavy cruiser. Keeping in Imperial tradition, its six-hundred meter shape was fashioned in the traditional wedge and the underside landing bay would allow Illiandra to see the efficiency with which it was run as soon as she stepped out. There was no major greeting party that met her Lambda-class shuttle. Instead, a single red-armored man with his helmet removed, revealing a face that was badly burn-scarred on the left side and missing his left eye, which was replaced by an ocular implant.
"Inquisitor Kalogridis? I am Senior Commander Harden of the 1st Purifiers. Welcome to the Dark Words. Please make yourself comfortable and I will brief you on whatever you need."

| Illiandra hardly cared who or what came to greet her. If she didn't like it, however, it would likely not survive the encounter, despite Deschain's warning and instruction. Her cobalt blue gaze met the monocular gaze of the Purifier and she tilted her head some as she assessed him. Only a moment later, Fenrir traipsed down the ramp behind her, his nails clicking on the metallic runway before he skidded to a halt and growled at the man. "Fenrir...." She warned quietly, snapping her fingers and pointing at the creature once before he settled and just sat next to her.
"Yes, I am she. A pleasure to meet you, Commander Harden." Her gaze was still on the man and she narrowed her eyes some. His deformities hardly bothered her. "You're very pretty." Illiandra finally said before she looked off across the landing bay. "I like this ship. Show me the rest of it and where Fenrir can rest and you can fill me in on the details. I found the reading materials quite dull." She would hand him the file she had in her hands before she walked past him, with the Nexxu hot on her heels.

| Haden's face twisted into what passed for a grin at her comment. "Too kind." He motioned for her to follow alongside him as he maneuvered towards the nearest turbolift. "I will see you to your quarters. There has been a change of destination, though." Even as he spoke, there was the faintest of lurches as the Dark Words jumped to hyperspace. "We will be going to Nar Shaddaa, to destroy a Libs refugee camp there that acted as a recruitment center for them. We can expect minimal armed resistance, as well as a goodly number of civilians. I trust this won't be an issue, Inquisitor?" He gave her a partial look out of one of his eyes, almost judging her. He'd been warned by Deschain not to underestimate this one, but he'd never met a female Inquisitor before; much less one who dressed in this style or had a pet along with her.

| Illiandra watched Fenrir scamper ahead and skid across the metal floor as he stopped to make sure his Mistress was still nearby. She was hardly paying attention to him, however, and had stopped and had her gaze locked on Harden again. "Do you have doubt in my abilities, Commander? I am sure the High Inquisitor informed you otherwise." She would start walking again, only pausing near Fenrir to scratch his right ear briefly. "And you will not doubt for long. But do not be concerned, everyone on this ship is quite safe." She nearly cooed.
"Tell me about Nar Shadda then. What is known? And how many will be coming with me? I see no need to be subtle with this type of assignment, Commander. I do not plan on there being any survivors."

| "I have no doubts," Harden said smoothly. "Simply that I have not had the pleasure of working with you before. Until this time, the 1st Purifiers have made their name solely under the command of High Inquisitor Deschain. Nonetheless, the changes in orders and the information you require are as follows.
"The Dark Words will be meeting at the edge of the Y'Toub System to rendezvous with Line Captain Nelia and her command of two vessels. From there, we will proceed inwards towards Nar Shaddaa and utilize shuttle craft to make a landing with the 1st Purifiers, yourself and any forces you wish to bring as support from Captain Nelia's vessels. Once we have secured the site of the refugee camp and the Libs' operation there, we will proceed to sweep and clear the area with extreme prejudice. The situation between the Empire and the Hutt Cartel make it so that extensive collateral damage will not be tolerated, though, so a keen blade, so to speak, is the best approach. Nonetheless, as you say, no survivors is the matter of order so we shall follow that, and your commands, to the letter,"

| "Well, aren't you just the sweetest little puppy ever." She commented as her gaze wandered down the corridor. "Is there any intelligence as to approximately how many rebels will be in this location? You said minimal arms, but....." She looked almost contemplative for a moment. "We shouldn't need any support from Captain Nelia. Although.....mmm perhaps. We shall see."
"I promise you, Commander, that this will be much, much more fun than anything you have....made you name with....under the High Inquisitors command. Unique, perhaps, moreso than fun. But who am I kidding? Wiping out a rebellion will be better than a tea party, my love. And Fenrir is anxious to taste rebel blood"

| "A dozen? No more than a hundred?" Harden shrugged slightly. "The intelligence for our particular mission was rather spotty and incomplete. We were just told to hit the refugee camp near Job Traders Inc. It's perfectly alright, though. We're used to missions with very few parameters." For a long moment, Harden reflected back to the mission that had gained him his rank, when Major Proul had gone down under the blasters of a child-army and a Jedi had been slain, unknown to all, in the Underlevels of Imperial Center.
"Never can tell though," Harden continued almost cheerfully. "If nothing else, we will arrive before too long and be in place to contact Captain Nelia before proceeding in-system with the mission."

| "A dozen...no more than a hundred. Fine." She let out a low sigh and looked down the hall again, just in time to see Fenrir dragging a random, faceless soldier by his boot. He wasn't dead, yet, but he was pretty freaked out. Her gaze was drawn back to Harden and she simply shrugged. "Baby must be hungry."
Just as he was about to pounce, and the man was fumbling for his blaster, Illiandra snapped. "Fenrir! We only eat people that mummy approves of. Besides...he looks stringy. Let him go." She smiled and the Nexu kitten came wandering over with just the boot in his mouth, leaving the man without one shoe.
"This is Fenrir, Commander. If any one of the men or women aboard this ship pull a blaster on him again, I will kill them. Understood?" She cleared her throat. The nexu had settled and was happily using the boot as a chew toy. "Now, if you will show me to my quarters, it would be appreciated. And I require a file on this Captain Nelia. We will see what use he is to us. If any."

| Avoiding looking at the naval crewman who was in some distress even with his missing boot, Harden continued smoothly onwards towards the quarters he'd promised Illiandra. "I am sure that all of the men under my direct command will keep from harming... Fenrir." And with that statement, he'd smoothly sidestepped having to cover any of the naval personnel who were assigned to the vessel, but whom didn't fall under his direct command.
"Captain Nelia is a she, actually. I know she was assigned to former Line Captain Sevarius Anderson's task force to hunt down the Separatist leader Shiva. Beyond that, I have little knowledge of her actual command experience. Nonetheless, having her and her ships will be a valuable asset in Hutt Space. I don't see the Cartel being so willing to cross the Empire that a trio of ships will come under attack."

| "A woman! Even better. I am sure that she is more than capable." She said, delighted. Illiandra scratched Fenrir's ears as she thought further. "She was unable to capture the Separatist? That makes me wonder." The Inquisitor was distracted momentarily by the animal next to her, but that did not make her less aware of everything around her.
"We will see once we arrive, I imagine. I will want to speak with Captain Nelia upon arrival, I am sure that can be arranged. We wouldn't want to disappoint anyone, would we, lovely?" She addressed the burn scarred Purifier. "Perhaps we can show off Captain Nelia's talents, and make daddy proud of us too." It was obvious that her clarity was starting to wane some, though she was struggling to remain as level headed as she could with this man.

| With a final nod to the Inquisitor as they arrived at her quarters, Harden would depart for a time. Several hours later though, he'd knock at Illiandra's door. "Inquisitor Kalogridis, we've arrived at the rendezvous site. The captain assures me we are early and now we only await Captain Nelia. I'm sure she'll be arriving shortly, so if you wish, I will escort you to the bridge for communications."

| Illiandra had changed into a pair of skin tight leggings, a fitted tunic and knee high, high heeled boots. She slid the door open, narrowing her eyes some as she grabbed her long, hooded coat. "thank you." She said indifferently before Fenrir scampered out of the door in front of her and bolted down the hall.
Her appearance was a stark change from her earlier attire, and she actually had her lightsaber clipped at her belt. She dragged the coat on, leaving it unfastened. "Lead the way, Commander."

| Still quiet, Harden led the way to the bridge, which was run with the same efficiency as the rest of the ship. Unlike most Imperial vessels, the symbol of the Imperial cog was not the only symbol embossed into one of the walls; below it sat the Inquisitorious' symbol, marking the ship for what it was: the personal vessel of a member of the Inquisitorious; a temporary vessel if Deschain had anything to say about it, but at least it worked to serve as the home of the 1st Purifiers.
Once on the bridge, Illiandra would be shown the communications suite to await Captain Nelia's arrival.

| The Impavid, shortly followed by the Endeavor dropped out of hyperspace just inside of the Y'Toub system for their support assignment at Nar Shadda. Bella had taken a few moments to meet with Major Jackson to inform him of the goings on, but advise him not to get his hopes up, because they would likely see little to no action and he probably would not see any time in the cockpit of his beloved star fighter. Not this time. Perhaps she would be wrong and if given the opportunity she knew that Major Jackson and his particular hand picked team would rise to the occasion. They had been stagnant entirely too long.
Once at the rendezvous, a hail was sent from the Impavid to the Dark Worlds, which Bella left on the main screen instead of taking to her office. There was nothing she would hide from her crew, especially Major Jackson (who should have been present). It would take a few moments for the line of communication to come up, and the Naval Captain definitely did not expect to see the woman that was there. None the less, she addressed her anyway, and awaited to receive orders, if any.
