The warship reverted to realspace and moved into a low orbital and dispersed transports carrying supplies to finish the repairs on the walls, and to build a landing pad near the city center. The ship then turned and jumped o lightspeed again for Lorrd.

The warship returned again along with the two transport ships bringing the shield generator, power generator and an installation crew. The transport ships began landing and were joined by Vicious' shuttle. The crews began to unload the generators and equipment from the transports while repair work continued on around the city. Vicious was dressed in her black robes again and approached, watching the foreman issuing orders to the crews. He turned to her. "Ma'am, where are we installing the shield generator?" She took her datapad from her pouch and projected an image of the city. Then she highlighted several areas on the map. "There are several areas where the generator can be placed. I'm not an expert in this area, so I want you to examine these designated regions and select for yourself" The foreman nodded and said he would, then returned to work.

While Sith crews worked on repairing the buildings in the city and the crew from Lorrd built the shield generator structure, Vicious sat in the chamber in the city hall, reimaging the building as shown to her by the spirit. Then she sketched the ideas down into her datapad and began to create the tapestries and beautiful objects that once inhabited this building. She was concentrating heavily on the Force for her creativity.

Vicious made many tapestries out of fabrics she bought on Lorrd and hung them though out the great chamber of the city center building of Kressia. She was working on restoring a golden statue when her commlink beeped. She pulled it from her pouch. "What?" It was one of the foremen of the repair crew. "My liege, we've come across some sort of temple, but it's killed anyone who approaches it." Vicious thought for a quick moment and realized this was a temple to one of the deceased Sith. "Transmit me your location, I'm on my way." The foreman got a treat; he heard the Sith Master, known to kill in an instant, actually excited as she rushed out of the building toward the temple.

Vicious arrived at the temple and met up with the the foreman and the work crew. She nodded to him and started to approach the temple, with her hands on her blades. Suddenly, she heard a voice in her head and felt extremely pain. Almost as suddenly as it began, it stopped, and the voice spoke again, apologizing for attacking the defender of the city. The door to the temple opened and a rush of air over seven thousand years old escaped the temple. Vicious turned to the crew. "Move your work to somewhere else; I'm going into the temple." She entered the gapping maw of the temple and began the descent into the temple.

As she moved through the temple, she felt the spirit of the temple around her, probing her intentions and following her as she walked. She passed several chambers that had treasures in them. She poked around in them, taking any holocrons she found, but disturbing nothing else. She was following the path to the center of the temple, where she assumed the spirit's body resided and anything he considered the most dear, and that was what she wanted.

She entered the main chamber and finally found what she was hoping in the Sith's burial chamber; a holocron resting on the tomb. She approached the center and used her power of the ancients to detect any traps around it and detected several. Noting these, she moved around them and snatched the 'cron. Nothing happened and she locked around the tomb for more stuff. She saw the Sith's lightsaber and left it, uninterested in taking it. She had her own and wasn't interested in parts from the other. She searched around the chamber a little more than then left, avoiding the traps. Should anyone else attempt this tomb, they would trigger these traps.

She exited the temple with three holocrons in her possession and a new fascination on her mind. She contacted a foreman and told him to build a small wall around the temple and set up defensive turrets. Then she returned to the palace where the technical crews were at work restoring the systems inside. They were replacing the generators, light panels, defensive positions, communication systems, projection systems, doors, etc. She grabbed one of the workers. "How long until long range communications are up and running?" The technician looked at the datapad in his hand and tapped it. "About two hours maximum, Mistress. Shall I contact you when we have them running?" Vicious nodded and turned to start walking away. "Yes, that would be excellent." She began walking and removed the first holocron she recovered. She began to fumble with it, probing its contents with the Force.

Vicious had opened two of the three holocrons and documented what was contained inside of them, leaving only the third, most important 'cron. She knew it would be harder than the others to open, but by using the ancient power, she would have much less trouble. She touched the top of the 'cron and ran some dark side energies through it, causing ancient Sith to appear along the side. She began to read the incantation and then recited it again, urging the holocron to open. It did and displayed the long dead Sith, as he was displayed via statue in the tomb. He began by introducing himself and congratulating the Sith lucky enough to be able to open it. He went on to explain his teachings and whatnot, not saying many interesting things, except a mention of Kinetite, which Vicious would return to. Finally, he mentioned something the peaked her interest. They are the Aing-Tii Monks of the Kathol Sector. He also mentioned something about them having extremely strong powers in prediction and detection. Vicious turned on her datapad and called up information on the Kathol Sector and the Rift. She designated that as her next destination of travel.

Vicious was studying the star charts around the Kathol Rift when her commlink began to beep and when she looked at it, it was the technician she spoke to before. "Lady Vicious, long range communications are online and at your disposal, Mistress." Vicious smiled and nodded. "Thank you Lieutenant. Consider yourself promoted to Corporal." The man sounded excited. "Thank you Lady Vicious." She nodded again. "Don't disappoint me, Corporal." She rose from the throne and crossed to the activation panel. She set in the communicator code for Empara and Darth Rezak, then sent him a message. "Greetings Darth Rezak, this is Darth Vicious. I would like to extend a courteous invitation to my stronghold at Thule to you and your apprentice. You may come by whenever you like, but I would like a message sent ahead of time to prepare for your arrival." She closed the transmission and sent it via tight-wave.

The city of Kressia had grown from a ruin into a functioning city. The shield generator housing was almost complete, the power generator housing on the other side of the city was close to completion, the new landing platform was already completed and the walls around the city were repaired. Buildings around the city were being repaired, a new medical facility was being constructed, houses were being rebuilt, and defenses were being set up.

Vicious walked through the city, admiring the work done by the crews provided by Darth Rezak and his Emparan crews. But few of the could be trusted to side with her should things turn hairy. There were a few people she knew she could trust to remain on her side. Some here weren't even working for the Emparans. There was the crew building the shield generator and power generator were from Lorrd. They'd receive a mind rub after they left, but still. She was approaching the shield generator now. The foreman was out directing construction and turned when she approached. "Ah, Lady Vicious. The shield generator is almost complete." She nodded and clasped her hands behind her back. "Excellent, however, that's not why I'm here. I've come to attempt to convince you to quit your work for Lorrd and sign on with me."

Vicious discussed terms with the foreman, and even revealed her true identity to him, however, he told her he somehow knew. She smiled and nodded, informing him about his destiny to serve a Sith commander. He agreed to cast off the bonds after the job here was completed. Then she left for the city center again, to finish her work in restoring the building.

Repairs had been finished and upgrades, such as the shield generator, were nearing completion. Vicious requested a shuttle and crew to meet her on the landing pad inside the city walls to scout the surrounding countryside. Several minutes later, she met them on the pad and they took off on their scouting mission. Landing about one hundred meters away from the city, Vicious got out to investigate the quality of the soil. After taking a sample and analyzing in on her datapad, Vicious determined that with the right amount of Force power, she could begin to shape the soil using Sith Alchemy to once again be farm worthy. She would need to import colonists and she was thinking about that, until an idea hit her. She returned hurriedly to the transport and demanded to be returned to Kressia.

The Republic-Class Star Destroyer New Faith came out of lightspeed close to the last planet in the system and began to assume an orbital. Captain al'Chor was on the deck of the warship and turned to his Executive Officer. "Commander, have the observation crew set up and begin to scan for ion trails or any other types of starship displacement." His XO, a Kel Dor male named Felk Toon, turned and left the bridge to go to the Observation Salon and have the crew begin to scan for ship displacement. Meanwhile, back on the bridge, Jarrin felt an odd sensation in the back of his neck, that he had only felt once before, during the war with the Sith. He couldn't tell where it was originating from, but he ignroed it....for now
