While driving towards the safehouse he had in mind, Harbyx contacted the person in charge. Or at least he tried to. Over the secure chanels or over the normal ones using code, every attempt got a null-response. This was bad. This safehouse was the best suited for his purpose in the district. Every other one was either outside the district or suboptimal.
So Harbyx contacted the district head over a secure line. Whereas less densely populated planets may harbour only one or very few pockets of rebels, Megalopolis Planets such as Lyra Sec. had many, subdivided into districts.
"This is K67-BT4, reporting a 00-B gone dark. Investigating."
"Loud & Clear."
Harbyx broke contact again. Secure or not, communication was best kept brief and in code.

When Harbyx pulled up in the garage, he shut his car off and opened the secret compartement. As much as enthousiasts would call it heresy, Harbyx had his V8 modified and this secret compartement was one of them. He put his dagger in it and replaced it with a Khukuri Knife. Harbyx favored this ancient design for it's utility in almost every situation. Then he took out a Monocular HMD and powered it up and waited a moment for the thing to sync up. Then Harbyx decided he would take a gun with him as well. As much as he preferred a stealthy approach and solution, sometimes you needed a backup. He opted for the 41-Vector. As usefull and efficient as the microparticle guns were nowadays, Harbyx preferred the brutal stopping power and secondary damage of actual bullets. And this was also the main reason why old slugthrowers as bulletweapons were mockingly called weren't obsolete yet. He screwed the supressor on, just in case. With a few small pieces of armour, Harbyx deemed himself ready and went in.

meanwhile, at the rebel meeting...
A holographic image of Senator Virennak, and a few other high ranking imperial officials and nobles listened to the ongoing events. Maros Virennak did most of the talking from the holographic attendants of the meeting.
- So he just shot the smuggler, right? And you wanted to shoot him? The only emissary that the Akhari sent to us?
- But Senator...
- But nothing! If we don't gain the support of the Akhari fleets, then we're as good as done for! and if you did killed them, then they would also mark us as kill on sight, don't you get it, you near blind fools?!
- He's unstable and...
- Read my lips Wolfe, I DO NOT CARE! lick his boots if you have to, but we must keep him. He's too valuable to lose! I'll contact my daughter to see if she can persuade him or keep him in check.
- What about her partner? we don't need another lunatic.
- Hawken isn't a lunatic. he just has some unsorted problems. And he ALWAYS GETS THE JOB DONE. If he joins, he'll be invaluable ally and emissary to Migla. now tell me, did the Borellians attended the meeting?
- No. The Commonwealth has been silent since the incident a few months ago. We sent people to negotiate with them, However we had no word from them since. We do have some good news however. e received the blueprints for the Nova class. our experts had begun to analyze them.
- Very good. This will give us the edge, untill a new line is launched.- The senator paused for a minute- Our goals remain the same. As always we need to rally as much support as much as possible. to do this first we need to do someone to break in the Marasus mining colony and free several important people from there.
- It'll be quite hard to do so for our normal operatives...
- Then find someone who will accomplish this feat. we need those dissidents freed!
- As you command senator. Until we meet again. this conclave is concluded.

On another side of the galaxy, in the Grendelis sector...
- Chief, Do you think this is wise?- asked one of the legionnaires.
- We do not think sarge. all we need to do is to protect the professor if that experiment of his goes awry. that is all.
- I have a bad feeling about this...
- You always have a bad feeling sarge.
- And I'm usually right, ain't I?
Awkward silence followed as the two legionnaires followed a middleaged human pushing a hovercart with equipment. the tech was used to wake up beings from stasis sleep.

As Harbyx entered the safehouse, the first thing he noticed was the smell in the air. Or rather of the air, it smelled.....ionized. Which was a reasonable indicator of recent discharge of energy weapons.
The lights were off, but his monocular quickly adapted itself to the level of the light.
This was bad. So Harbyx turned the light emenating from his monocular to a minimum and clawed his way unto the reasonably high ceiling. Only the seperate sleeping compartements of this safehouse had doors to them, the rest of the space was open. Which suited Harbyx' prefered style of ceiling stealth especially well.
Silently he crawled to the main area. From what he could make out, the place was thrashed. Or very voilently searched.
".....room clear...." a static voice sounded from one of the sleeping compartements. "Clear." "Clear." Two more voices. Harbyx quickly crawled to a corner of wall and ceiling hoping to get a good vantage point.
It paid off. As soon as Harbyx had positioned himself, the three came out of seperate compartements. They were lawenforcers, Humans by the looks of it and two were carrying lasercarbines, the last, presumably the leader was equiped with a shock-truncheon and a shield. This was good, these were the kind of people Harbyx could deal with alone.
"...y sign of the drugs?" The leader's voice was muffled.
The others shook their heads.
"..earch those two rooms,...en we're done." The leader indicated two more compartements. One moved immediately, the other hesitated a bit and appeared more jumpy. That one was almost certainly the weak link in the team.
Leader first. His HMD synced up with the targetting in his gun, Harbyx took the time to line up the shot exactly on one of the weak spots in the armour. Just where the helmet met the shoulder armour.
The shot, with the flash/sound-supressor on, made no discernable noise. The thud the body made on the ground did. Luckily the two other enforcers were loudly tearing up the two rooms and did not notice.
"Clear." "This one's clear to..............Chief come in....Chief?" The two came out the rooms nearly simultaniously. Harbyx had by now moved on to another vantage point.
"F$^%, they got the Chief. There must be one still around."
"I said, no way just one Kharon is here. Where is he..eh...it...F$%&, whatever!" This one was swinging his carbine left and right, succumbing to panic. The other was much calmer.
The calmer one had to be taken out first. No pistol this time though, they'd notice the flash, even with the surpressor on. Knife time then. Harbyx shifted a bit, draw the Khukuri and leapt.
Swinging his tail, Harbyx shifted his weight midair. He came diagonally through the air, jabbed the knife through the eyeslot of the helmet, using his momentum swung round the humans neck and landed behind him. The other Human loosed a few shots of his carbine, but Harbyx was behind the other and used the dying man as a Human Shield for the blasts. Harbyx whipped out his pistol again in cover and shot the other human thrice in his legs. The human buckeled.
Harbyx dropped the dying human and let his khukuri in the eye for the time being. He stalked over to the weak link, who was shuddering on the ground with pain. Harbyx kicked ripped the helmet off and shoved his pistol underneath the Humans chin. It was a young male, almost still a juvenile.
"What's with the show of arms, Human?" Harbyx demanded.
"F($@ you, lizard filth!"
"Is that how you want to play it?" Harbyx jabbed a claw of his free hand into one of the eyes of the Human juvi. The human screamed in pain.
"Now I can do this all day long, pinky. I know enough weak spots in your anatomy to have you pray for the relief of death. Or you can talk and I'll give you a quick end." Harbyx said.
"You and your damned drugs. You filth think you own this planet by filling the streets with your garbage and getting good people hooked. But we will bust you down. I don't matter, there's a whole army of Enforcers left."
"You think this is about drugs?" Harbyx asked, in ever so slight disbelief, but with the outward display of a whole lot more.
"What?" the Humans eyes spoke volumes.
"Good enough answer." Harbyx said and pulled the trigger. The humans skull and brains now decorated the floor and wall behind it.
Harbyx pulled his knife out of the body and wiped it clean. Then spent several minutes making sure the men were dead and there were no others still waiting. There weren't. Apparantly there were just the three.
Harbyx had his HMD link up with his car and made a call to the district head over a secure line.
"This is K67-BT4. 00-B has been breached. Send clean-up."

About half an hour later the clean-up crew was there, headed by the district head herself, a female Malari of middle age or thereabout. Harbyx explained what went down and how the Enforcers thought this was a drugden.
"Good to hear, we'll make it look like a bust gone wrong. Though we've to vacate this safehouse now. Good job, K67-BT4."
Harbyx dismissed the compliment. "Most operatives would've gotten this mess sorted. What's more important is how they think to know this is a drugden." He said, waving a hand at the bodies.
"We'll sort that out." The head replied. "Anything else"
"What's the nearest safehouse with the specifications of this one."
The head checked her wristcomputer, "04-K."
"Thanks. And I'm keeping one of these." Harbyx said while pulling one of the carbines out of the body's grip.
"Suit yourself." the head replied.
Harbyx left.

Fenix sighed as she sat behind her counter, going over the recording of the rebel communication she had been monitoring. More plots and half-baked ideas, nothing she could really make definite plans around or sink her teeth into. Yet. If they kept using this channel, which they should as long as they believed it to be secure. They shouldn't have any reason to do so, since she was using a different signal or five to tap into theirs, and a database or five. The Evolon had done this before.

"Hmmm... let's see if someone could use my help..." She pondered out loud, typing out a message as customers began coming into her ship, buying her legitimate merchandise. Most of the customers were children, and had no idea that they were standing above a small arsenal, large enough to outfit a small platoon. They were more concerned about the candy. Very delicious candy it was too, imported directly from Earth. She also had a mechanic or two come in, but that was about it. Otherwise, Fenix was left time to write this.

"Why hello sweetheart~ I was in the neighborhood and was wondering if we could meet up, smell some roses, play a little game or two in the park? I'll be waiting in my ship if you accept my offer~
-FA"

Short, simple, sweet and sent directly to the mailboxes of the directors of covert operations, arms distribution and intelligence in the Rebel hierarchy, men she had contacted before. They should know the routine by now. The messages were sent separately, from different servers after being routed through custom built ghost servers. And then it was back to sighing and waiting for something to happen.

And then it happened. And that was something alright. A sleek starship docked itself outside Fenix's shop. It was very strange as in unique. The reason it was unique is because no one has ever seen an Akhari ship, especially not of the small kind piloted by only one person. And that person came int the shop wearing full yellow-fiery armor, full helm included. Beside him floated a human-sized crate.

Two boys who just bought their candies stood there with their mouths wide open. The armored man patted one of them lightly on the head and said in a pleasant, although peculiar, tone of voice.

"It's not polite to stare, kiddo. Now go on, don't waste your time standing here gawking."

The kids left reluctantly, all the while watching the man. When they were finally out of hearing range the man turned to the Evolon trader.

"Those things the children bought, they look interesting. I want to buy some. And I want you to have a look at what I got here."

There was no change of tone in his voice as he said that, as if the contents of the crate were of no more importance than the candy in the shop.

at almost the same time, in the Grendelis Sector...

- If we manage to awake and control these brutes, just imagine the armies that the Empire will gain!- The professor talked to his guards.
- I don't like this idea- The sergeant said.
- Relax sarge, I'm sure that'll all go as the prof expects it.
The Chief had no idea how wrong he was.

Koba shrugged, not really caring much about the death of those men. He retrieved his Smith & Wesson semiautomatic revolver and pulled the trigger, the bullet blowing a hole the size of a basketball through two men. "Rest in pieces." he growled as he walked past the bodies.
He walked toward a door and heard locks secure it from the other side, a small smile formed on his lips and he raised his revolver, readying for whoever was at the other side, then used his psychic powers to rip the door and half the wall it was attached to straight off.
Machine guns and laser guns fired toward him and the other two, but all the shots seemed to hit an invisible wall. Koba turned toward Sage. "This is why guns are useless, face someone with psychic powers and they could just as well have have tried killing us with sponges." Then he fired three quick shots and three men fell dead, the better part of their upper bodies scattered across the floor.

- Right you are motherf£$%er!- Dorian said at Koba's regards about guns used against psychics. He threw several other knives at the thugs that were sent to dispose of them. each knife landed a kill.
- If they are very adept in using their gift- Sage noted.- most of the times they put their skill in developing their offensive capabilities and...
- We can chat later, we've got motherf$%^ers to kill!- Dorian said as his blade decapitated another thug.
Fighting their way through the guards and automated defenses, the trio made it's way to a dining room, whereas they found the don, his family and the families of his closest liutenants attending a dinner. they were terrified by the sight of the Hunter insignias that Dorian and Sage wore. they were frozen from terror.
Dorian grinned. He noticed a printed Bible in one of the cases, a rare and ancient artifact from the pre imperic Earth.
- Ah crap.- Sage said.- Listen,- She said to Koba- Just keep your cool and let Dorian kill the don. Oh, and enjoy the show- She smiled.

Fenix watched the ship dock with an expression of confusion and mild interest. Well now, that can't be what it looks like. None of those vessels have been seen for centuries! They're even purged from the database known by the general public... hell, if that's what I think it is then it's not even part of the secret archives...

When her customer had shooed the kids out, she calls after them, "I'll see you tomorrow at the same time, alright you guys?" They were some of Fenix's most consistent customers, and as always they said entirely too many words on their way out and invited her to dinner, before leaving once again.

Then it was to this business with the man.

"Those things the children bought, they look interesting. I want to buy some. And I want you to have a look at what I got here."

"Well..." The evolon said breezily, leaning down and taking out her box of candy. "The first is easy enough, just pick what you want. And you can choose from any of my wares that you see here." Somehow, she doubted that her 'guest' was her for some candy and a backup FTL drive (newly imported, only lightly used *Wink wink* *Nudge nudge*). "Are you looking for anything in particular?" She asked helpfully.

He raised a hand to protect them from whatever splatter might be flying their way. "So, how did a lady like you end up in a business like this?"

"Not really. I don't know these sweets. Which one would you recommend?" Jak said from within his armor and tossed a remote on the counter, "You'd best move my crate out back. If the kids come back and see what's inside they probably won't leave you alone for as long as they live."

- You're a man of faith are you mr Molleone?- Dorian began.- You believe that the almighty lord shall bless you and your humble family?- Dorian was being quite sarcastic and rethoric. He lit a cigar.
- I am a man of faith myself. I read the bible sometimes, and think on the verses, what do they mean exactly.- He approached one woman and slit her throat.- I believe in the concept "an eye for an eye".- A throwing knife landed in the head of another man, most likely the don's  consigliere.
- This wouldn't had happened, if you and your monkeys with guns would had stayed away from Georg Razmanov and his orphanage. Now you, one of the most powerfull entities of organised crime in Lyra Secundus, tremble with my every word.- Dorian blew out a huge smoke cloud.
- Let's get back to our previuos topic. religion. You know, there's this passage I've got memorised. Sort of fits this occasion. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset, on all sides, by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is trully his brother's keeper, and finder of lost children.- Dorian raised his voice, with anger coming straight from his heart- BUT I'LL SMITE DOWN UPON THE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE AND FURIOUS ANGER THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO POISON, AND DESTROY MY BROTHERS!- Dorian aimed his gun at the don.- AND YOU WILL KNOW, MY NAME IS THE LORD, WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEE!- Dorian released more than a dozen shots at the don.
Sage and Koba witnessed this act.
- Well... I don't know what to say- Sage said while aiming her rifle at the rest of the people sitting there- Oh, and I've got into this by my choice. Too hotheaded to be a military officer, so the hunters accepted my with their arms wide open. Let's finish them off.- She said while pulling the trigger.

Koba watched as the two killed the unarmed people. He didn't flinch or care when they died, but he did not draw his gun or sword to participate in the act. He looked at the bodies as they lay slumped in their chairs, the dead bodies leaking all over the floor.

"I don't shoot unarmed people, no matter what they have done." he walked toward a man who tried crawling away, a gunshot wound from his gut leaving a trail of blood. He bent one knee and placed the other on the mans neck, then twisted. "I do not shy away from killing them in other manners, of course."

Koba looked over at Dorian. "Satisfied?"

- Not yet.- Said Dorian as he blew out a cloud of smoke.- Sage, contact the head of the PDF of this rock. I want this place burned to the ground.
- Sure.- Sage established a link between her and the PDF HQ. A hologram of a middleaged human in imperial officer's uniform appeared on Sage's wrist computer.
- Hunters Hawken, Virennak, what can I do for you?
- Cut the chatter colonel. Molleone manor between spires 58 and 59. I want that place leveled.
- May I inquire why?
- They've been branded traitors of the empire for stealing and selling to our enemies.- Dorian was actually happy this being an official mission. without the HQ approving, he could not requisition something like this.
- I see. Well, a squadron is en route, ETA 5 minutes.
- Good day colonel- Sage smiled and terminated the connection.
Dorian drank from his flask.
- Now I'm statisfied. We'll watch a nice show, we killed the "masterminds"- The word had a mocking feeling to it- behind Georg's death, and you get your cash uh... everyone's happy. come to think of it, I've never heard your name. so, what is it?- Dorian asked.

Harbyx had secures Safehouse 04-K for his purpose and was now driving his car home. For his liking he was driving too slow, as for a change he was not speeding or flagrantly disobeying the rules of the road. Reason for that was that this area was riddled with police checkpoints. There was a reason for them being there, something about a high profile human being murdered nearby. But Harbyx had payed little attention to the news lately.
Trafic was slowing down, it looked like we needed to pass this checkpoint. Inwardly Harbyx cursed, outwardly he remained calm. If he took the upperway now, or if he altered his way in any other manner, would make him look suspicious. So slowly he moved toward the checkpoint and eventually he got there.
The policeman, Human, knocked on his window, Harbyx rolled it down. Inwardly he was glad it was a simple police officer and not an Enforcer(the paramilitary arm of the law).
"License and registration please." the human said monotone. Harbyx handed them over.
The policeman looked them over and then his hovercar.
"My that's an awefull fancy set of repulsors you got there. And that on a securityman's salary." The cop said more interested.
"I live frugally, that helps me save a nice sum of credits at the end of the month. Occasionally I can indulge on things like this car." Harbyx said, with a ingenuine apologetic undertone.
"It would be an awefull shame if something happened to a beauty like this."
Damn, it's one of those, Harbyx thought to himself, a crooked cop looking to enhance his patcheck underhandedly. He debated himself on how to deal with the situation. Taking him out was not an option with this many others around, and speeding off was a bad idea now they had his registration and license on file.
"Say, is that a busted taillight I spy?"
Then again, Harbyx would be damned to let this ape get away with this intolerable behaviour.
"Impossible officer, I can see them glow in the reflection off the car behind me." Harbyx replied.
"Is that so. The lizard's got a set of brains to accompany his ugly mug."
"Yes, and he would like his license and registration back."
"Oh, well there seems to be something wrong with them. I may have to take you back to the station and question you about that. Your ride would, of course, be all the safer in impound. Yes, there is definitely something wrong with them."
"I see where this is going. Perhaps there is something that would persuade the kind officer to look the other way."
"Now we're talking." The officer grinned widely.
Harbyx would have to think fast, he had some convincing fake notes in his glove departement, the rebels supplied him for emergencies. But just passing him off with fake currency was too good for the likes of this human. But everything Harbyx could think of would only cause more trouble. Damn, it would have to do. So he fished some bad notes out and handed them to the officer.
"This will do nicely, have a good day now." the officer gloated as he handed Harbyx his documents back.
"Thank you," Harbyx said docily, making a mental note to set the timer on the notes and set it shortly indeed. Such timers were standard in these kinds of fakes and would make the notes unusable when they expired.
Harbyx drove off, took the upperway and led his lead foot take over. Meanwhile he contacted Yed over a secure enough channel.
"Can you give me a sitrep?"

"They have just finished up on the orphanage events.", Yed answered to his helmet. "In Molleone manor between spires 58 and 59. They also took a bounty hunter with them. Seemed as he was tasked with the same job as the hunters. They went in at 19:28 and have yet to vacate the premises. The shooting just stopped a while ago. All three are trained psychics and armed with guns and blades. The criminals offered no mentionable resistance.".
Yed took a look outside from the side window. "Seems like a purification squadron was just detached from the PDF. They'll probably be here in three to four minutes."

"Antone Molleone." a dark figure said to the middle aged man on the balcony of the Arclight tower.

"Yes. Are you here to kill me?" replied Antone as he smoked a cigarette and blew into the Lyra Secundus air.

"No." The figure stepped out of the shadows. He was clad in a black suit with a small gun in one of his hands. "But I am here to ask why."

"Why? Because Georg was running an underground arms dealership while simultaneously feeding orphans to the rebels." replied Anton with no emotion. "I was told that if I got rid of them that I would not only be paid a large sum, but also granted immunity."

"And with the rest of your family framed for the murders, it leaves you at the very top of the crime syndicate so long as you stayed in the pockets of whoever hired you."

"That's the idea. A step in bridging the gap between the Empire and its underworld. Bringing us to the light. You understand, right?"

"I understand your motive, but not your morals, which is what I asked about."

"Well there no satisfactory answer for that."

"Clearly."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did, but I'll let it slide."

Antone smiled. "Cheeky. How did you get past all of my guards and why are they not here now?"

"Because they are either unconscious or think that absolutely nothing is wrong. Nothing is being recorded except for that chip in your hand right now. That's the only reason you're holding onto it loosely so that it can hear everything when your other hand holds your smoke in a vice. I'm going to have to take that chip."

Antone turned around to face the stranger. "Clever boy." He held up the chip. "Before I give this to you, tell me: how did you find me, why are you sparing me, and what is your name?"

"I began in Lyra Primus in my mother's family estate. I talked to my uncle, the current Governor, about my proposal for civil reform. He obviously didn't agree, but let on about some sort of side project going on here. I inquired further and he resisted, but I got all needed from him. A few hacks and searches on his terminal later got me enough information to find out about a certain noble, Duke Edmund Kayle, who set this project up, with authorization from my uncle. The project aims to systematically integrate the large crime syndicates with his department discreetly to take control of the mafias and simultaneously use them to kill suspected rebel sympathizers or suppliers. Of course, my uncle hadn't passed this along to the Governor over here, so all technically illegal, but not on Lyra Primus. However, Duke Edmund believes that his plan is a success and will likely introduce it now that it already is in motion. You are scared now, but if I spare you then your safety will be guaranteed...unless I get to Duke Kayle. So why should I spare you then? Killing you would save me a great deal of trouble and you do deserve it, but no. I have a better solution in mind." The stranger's mask retracted back into his suit, revealing his face. "As for my name, I am Darius Achaemenid V from Earth."

Antone's eyes widened as he gave Darius the chip."A noble? But why would you tell me all of this?"

Darius shrugged and replied, "Well you asked. It would be rude not to tell you when you've been so cooperative."

Darius lifted his gun up to Antone.

"What are you doing!? I thought you said you wouldn't kill me!"

Darius chuckled. "Oh, I'm not going to kill you, just the memory of this entire conversation. Nighty night."

With that Darius shot Antone in the neck with his dart gun, making sure to catch the mob boss before he collapsed to the ground unconscious. After placing him on a couch, Darius went into the building on his way out.

Harbyx listened to Yed and considered his words.
"Hrrrm. Keep on them and try not to get involved with the PDF if possible. The mission remains the same, try to get them apart or wait for them to split up. I'm starting to have reason to believe that the female is a rebel infiltrant, but I am not yet certain. So stay on your toes."
Harbyx paused a bit to make a sudden maneuver to avoid collision.
"Accursed foot-draggers. Sorry about that.Get the female into a friendly conversation and try to slip in a codified request. Ask her to meet someplace or something like that. It goes without saying that I need to know of what goes or went down as well. I want to get her to a safehouse for questioning. Preferably somewhere without her knowing how or where, in case I am wrong about the infiltrant-thing."
Harbyx had to make another maneuver. And despite all his complaining, he enjoyed dodging traffic while speeding.
"Do you understand the plan?"

"I do. Separating them might be hard though, they are both staying at the same starship and I believe they will return there after leaving here.", a brief silence as Yed considered his options. "Say, how would you feel about a party, tonight, at my place?"

"Hmmm, not my preferred method. But I suppose it would get the job done. Any other details I need to know about?"
