The datapad wasnt very specific, then again one couldnt expect very much from the shotty system the small padd provided. He tossed the pad to the side, it hit a small consul table nearby, struck the edge and settled. Four days ago they had lost contact with the Reecee system, reasons unknown, all attempts to restablish had so far failed. Multiple diagnostics of the comm array were made, no fualts detected. Much of the crew had their qualms, they wanted to turn about, to return home.
Alas, thus was not permited, amung them on this trip was a political officer from the higher echelons of Corporate. Word was she was an Empress, the captain really didnt care, she was just another polatician to him. She refused to change course, he had to obey her command, until Communications were restored with Reecee anyways."Sir, ETA to Dameo system is under ten minutes, shouldn't we.."
"Im well aware of what she said Luitenant, I will remind you this is still my ship and I still give the orders around here"
"Aye sir, my appologies sir"

"Nice to know you feel that way, Captain. I will be sure to make note of it in your record once we get back to Reecee."
Shadow Jedi Knight Empress Dark Emerald Jade had once again managed to enter the bridge without a sound, thus having heard the words of the Captain of the ship.
She walks over to the viewport and watches as the approach Dameo.
"Maintain course and speed. Once we land, we should not have to be there long."
Jadey then puts on her trademark ankle length black leather jacket, knowing it will be a bit cold outside. She too had read her datapad on the planet.
"If we run into trouble, I will handle it as I see fit. You take your orders from me.
Is that understood?"
"Yes, Empress." says the Lieutentant.
Jadey glances at the Captain, who was a bit hesitant before responding.
"Yes, Empress." he says through gritted teeth, not likeing that idea, or the idea of taking her orders.
Jadey chuckles at the Captain.
"Cheer up, Captain. One day you will make Grand Admiral for this." then winks at him.

"Grand Admiral huh? yeah right"
He mumbled under his breath. In a real mans navy maybe, this was the IDTech navy, he was no better than a trained Mercenary. Paid for his labors, supplied by his buyers. Not that he would mind, they fed his family, kept them safe, all he could ask for.
Why they had decided to make this... woman, Governess of a planet was beyond him, but they didnt pay him for politics, he was there to captain a vessel and thats what he would do.
"So Empress, what shall we do when we get there?"

Jadey stands up straight and looks out the viewport more, thinking. She had come prepared for trouble, but armed with only less than half her usual arsenal.
Her weapons were only her black onyx double black bladed saber, another black onyx saber with another, single black katana shaped black blade, and her 2 DL-44 blasters, each one holstered to each of her thighs.
For this trip, Jadey was wearing something from her old Sith days. A skin tight black leather catsuit with thigh high black leather boots.
Standing there, Jadey looked very much like a Sith as she used to, even though now she was a Shadow Jedi.
"Well, Captain, I shall cross that bridge when we come to it. Why, you ask. Because we might not even run into trouble, but it never hurts to be prepared for it."

Standing, he walks over to her side and regards the scene out the viewport. An empty starscape, nothing to worry about, not even worth viewing. What she found so interesting out that view was beyond him
"Danger or not, which by the specs of the mission are most likely not, we will still need a plan, EMPRESS, so if youve got one I do so wish youd share it with the crew and I"

Jadey raises her left hand and rubs the bridge of her nose slightly, trying to rid herself of the headache that is making itself known there. Then, as if sensing her pain, her two Corellian Sand Panther females Sumohn and her mother Flavia join her at her other side, Jadey ignoring the Captains scowl of the animals present.
"Well, CAPTAIN, the plan is this.
If we are by some strange reason attacked, Sumohn and Flavia shall be our first line of defense. They can take down 5 enemies by themselves. I have trained them well.
While they are busy with that, we will go about fighting our way around until all our enemies are dead.
Any more questions?"

"Yes, what the hell are you talking about? These two panthers are supposed to neutralize any threat we meet planetside?"
He made to gesture at the animals, but a rather fierce snarl by one of them changed his mind on that matter
"No offense intended mam, but we need a real plan, seeing as were almost.."
"Here captain, Dameo ahead of us"
[i]The screen was filled with images of the new world, Dameo...

Jadey raises one eyebrow at the Captain as the ship lands and they exit from it rather slowly, looking around for any signs of trouble.
She looks down at her panthers and growls softly, giving them an order. They take off in different directions and after a moment come back with a report.
"You were saying about danger Captain? Flavia and Sumohn say its clear up ahead, so shall we advance?"

"yyyeeeeaaaahhhhh, you do that"
Turning back towards the ships he began the long task of cargo hauling, shipment unpacking and preparing the base camp. There wernt very many holds of cargo, but they were massive and it would take quite a while to set up.
"You, Crew section Beta! Get to work on setting up the base camp, when the colonists get here they'll want a place to start! Section Alpha! Get to work on finding a suitable base of resources, well need them later on! Everyone else! Its time to unload!"
[i]Lotsa grumbling, thats what he got for his announcements, he knew it, but as long as the work got done, he could really care less. Happy crew or angry crew, he got paid.

Jadey hears the groaning and grumbling, turning to face the crew.
"You all have your orders. Now follow them."
She then glances at the Captain.
"I guess that leaves me to check out whats up ahead."
Without waiting for a reply, she walks on ahead, Sumohn and Flavia leading the way.
A half hour or so later, they come across a burnt out castle, or at least, thats what it looks like by the ruins. She gets on her comlink and calls the Captain.
"Ive found something. Gather some men and come find me."
