Infiltrating the Sorcerers

After killing the Kissai, I took the body back to the ship for analysis.

The DNA revealed that this Kissai was...inbred. There was some traces of Sith Sorcery, or a derivative of it, being used on him long ago. Probably while he was just born or in the womb. Not a surprising practice as the Kissai are still apart of the Sith species. It was common practice in the era of the Old Republic wars with the Sith Empire.

Besides the fact that this species of alien as a higher disposition towards the Dark Side. There was nothing else notable. The DNA is more less useless to me.

Unless...

Yes, I can still make some use of this DNA. I would prefer a non-inbred sample though. As the DNA strands are damaged in some area due to inbreeding. Hopefully not all the sorcerers are like this. For I would have to make an effort to repair the DNA myself to make it worth it to use.

I calibrate my bio-helmet scanner so next time I come across a Kissai, I would know if they're DNA is undamaged or not.

All the while my ship was scanning the planet's mountain ranges. For a mountain that is tall and has the deepest caves beneath it.

The mountain was found. Located on the whole other side of the planet, opposite to where the refugees landed.

Now, the plan of action of was simple. Infiltrate the mountain. Kill the Elder Sorcerer. Then secure some genetic material that isn't inbred. As for the rest of the sorcerers, wiping them out will not benefit me. If anything, leaving them alive will only bring opportunities in the future.

I position my ship in orbit over the mountain range the mountain resides.

I cloak myself and Force Cloak myself. Then I jump out of my spaceship in orbit. It is more fun this way. I re-enter the atmosphere and dive to my destination. Once I am close enough to the target mountain, I activate my armor thrusters and slow my descent. The rest of the landing impact force is dissipated with my Force abilities as I land.

I go over to a cave entrance that had shown up in earlier scans. I enter the cave and begin my descent.

I encounter wall markings as I go down. The mountain is around 5000ft(1524m) tall. I entered around 4578ft. I have a long way to go as the caves reach 4000ft down below sea level.

I encounter no one until I am 2399ft above sea level. I encounter a young Kissai, a child. Accompanied by what looks to be a female Kissai.

I scan them both and their DNA is damaged. That is not a good sign.

I go past them and continue down.

I pass by more Kissai, not all of them are actually sorcerers. They live within stone homes underground. Not dissimilar to how the Nightsisters live. I see a group of sorcerers moving together in a line. I see a few groups like this actually and they are all going to the same place.

I follow one. Hopefully some ritual is about to happen. As that means there will be a high chance my target is presiding over it.

I follow one group further underground to a grand chamber. With a giant red kyper crystal naturally hanging from the ceiling.

This kyber crystal is extremely rare, as it was not bled to gain its red color. Makes sense these sorcerers would gather under it for rituals.

I see that a poor Toong is also here, bound and gagged. In the center of the room, a sacrificial table. How cliché of them.

After all the sorcerers arrive, and elderly Kissai goes up to a raised stone podium.

He speaks to them all, "My brother and sisters, we have gathered to once again dive into the secrets of the Force. The comets were successful, and now we have endless fuel to gain insights."

The elderly Kissai looks around and furrows his red brows, "Where is Hernuk? He should be here."

The other sorcerers look around before one speaks up.

"Elder Sorcerer Laanesh, Hernuk went to observe the Toong refugees. He said he would return in time, yet he has not. His wife has also felt a great anger boiling inside her since hours ago."

The now confirmed Laanesh frowns and says, "Them something must have happened to Hernuk."

Now they begin to discuss Hernuk. This distracts them, which is great luck for me. I sneak around and move along the wall where I am in position behind Laanesh.

I then creep up while he still trying to find out what happened to the Kissai I killed. Laanesh gets angry and electrocutes one of the sorcerers that was apparently responsible for keeping tabs on sorcerers that leave this mountain.

This is what it means to be a perfect predator. Being able to strike at your prey, without them even knowing you are there.

Now having creeped up directly behind him. I reach hold with my hands and break his neck by twisting his neck past 180 degrees. I then throw the body over my shoulder, resulting in the body being cloaked along with me. Not before they see my eyes flash green for a moment through my cloak.

The sorcerers in the room are shocked and do not react immediately.

By the time they roar out in outrage, I am already running through the caverns. As I did observe one thing while I was in that sacrificial room.

"They'll all fucking crazy..."
