Lock Down Procedure

"Pleasure to meet you. I am Darth Liden. Grand Inquisitor of The Empire. Who are you?"

With a tilt of his head, Jin'Lor chuckled. "Jin'Lor Venneroe, just a lowly geneticist." He stated with sarcasm in his tone that said he was lying. Lightning snapped out around him from the knives in his hands as he twirled them lightly. "What's a tough lady like you want with a frozen planet like this?"

Narrowing his eyes, he took a cautious step back. Something about this woman told even his crazed mind he would need to be careful around Liden. The troopers around her would be easy to deal with, but her...he had the sense that she would force him to pull out his lightsaber.

Mar watched Quint run off then looked back to the others. "She's right. If Liden's here we can't let her get a hold of the research data." He looked to Ryze. "Tell me there's a way to wipe the memory core... or a self destruct?"

"Does no one listen to a damn thing I say?" Ryze pinched the bridge of his nose. "Core, follow lock down procedure. No one gets any of the information in this place, both physical and digital."

The hologram offered a nod and smiled. "Wiping all system data and functions. You have ten minutes to evacuate the facility before everything becomes nonfunctional. Only life support will stay online. Beginning lock down procedure..."

The hologram disappeared at that moment and lights began to shut off at a rapid rate, followed by the heating and other mechanical noises.

Following Mar and Mira, Ryze cursed under his breathe. "Stupid child thinks she knows everything. Ever heard of listening to your elders?!" He yelled down the hall where he spotted Quint. "Get your ass back here so we can leave!" The anger was building inside, but it was honestly his own for once. It made him sound subdued - human.

Ghost was quiet as she gazed at Keran, that broken look still in her eyes. Both hands gripped her lightsabers as she watched Ryze follow Mar and Mira. "Lets go..." She whispered and followed Rowan and RED-1 toward the landing bay.

VT-L2 clung to Ghost's leg so he would not have to try keeping up, watching everything occurring. "Jin'Lor never kept notes as far as Ripper showed me. Nothing will be here but dust and broken systems." He squealed. "My sensors say a scary lady is waiting for us!"
