| abstract | - Coronet City Spaceport -- Corellia This port is busy, like most, but here the hot breath of takeoff and the deep rumble of engines is closer, more of a feature of the port than an annoyance. The landing pads and small maintenance bunkers sprawl across a large open area open to the sky and surrounded by blast walls to protect the farmlands beyond. Pilots, engineers and techs, mostly natives, move among the hardware as if at home in the confusing and fast paced Port. A large complex on the west end of the spaceport houses control functions, transport authority offices, and the CorSec station. To the south, large gates are wide open allowing free access to this section of the spaceport landing area. There's another exit to the east, around the more rundown section of the spaceport. At the north end of the landing area, two monorail tracks emerge from underground in front of a small ticket station. => Solon_Halwinder => Davyd => Huey Davyd is stopped by an Stormtrooper Officer "Sir, the last of the Legion have landed and are being deployed as we speak" Davyd nods "Very well" He turns to one of the officers with him "Initiate Phase II" the officer nods and begins to speak into his comm. The Lambda-class shuttle marked off as COMPNOR 1 is defended by a ring of CompForce troopers. Out from the open ramp walks the Director of COMPNOR's lockdown on CorSec, Korynn Fleming. As if to translate his feelings on the safety of this planet, he's wearing his field armor, rather than his preferred Imperial Whites. He steps off the ramp and looks toward the starport proper with an expectant gaze. Solon Halwinder steps into the spaceport, as nondescript as possible for a man over six feet with a very distinctive set of armor on. Well, who needs nondescript anyway. He stops a passing Stormtrooper, speaking to him, and the Stormtrooper salutes, leading Solon towards COMPNOR-1. It's like a goddamn Imperial orgy out here. Huey takes another drag from his cigarillo, watching all the Stormtroopers and officials move about. His eyebrow remains up, as he watches. Davyd nods as his orders are carried out. he notes the arrival of COMPNOR and makes his way over that direction, checking the ring of Stormtroopers that are in position around the Starport. As Halwinder is led toward COMPNOR 1, Korynn takes a few steps forward, putting him at the edge of the ring of troopers around the shuttle. He clips his head in a swift bow of greeting, before turning and leading the way back into the shuttle, motioning for Solon to follow. He doesn't speak a word of greeting or otherwise give away what might happen inside the shuttle, that just wouldn't be the ISB way. With Davyd approaching, however, none of the CompForce troopers defending the shuttle would make any moves to prevent him from boarding. Anyone else, however, would be hard pressed to make it on board without a fight. Huey Longshot peers up at the sky, his cigarillo hanging out of his mouth as he watches it. He checks his chrono, before going back to waiting. Solon Halwinder nods to Korynn, and without a word, boards. It's not as if he talks that much anyway. He notes Davyd's approach with a raised eyebrow, however, but shrugs again. Davyd nods to Solon then turns to the Director "Sir, when you get a moment I would like to go over plans so we can coordinate our efforts to keep this planet stable. The 501st is fully deployed and will be in positions within the day." Fleming pauses, and nods to Davyd. "As you wish. Give us a few moments." He then turns and disappears with Solon inside the shuttle. Korynn enters in a code and enters STARSHIP: Sienar Lambda Class Shuttle -- COMPNOR 1 Imperial Shuttle -- COMPNOR 1 The interior of the shuttle isn't as roomy as it appears from the outside. The main compartment consists of a number of seats lining the outer bulkhead facing inward. Above them are several equipment bays. To the aft of the compartment is a hyperdrive service door which leads to the engines. Located in the fore part of the ship is a small cockpit with seating for a pilot, co-pilot and two observers. A soft hum emanating from the idling repulsorlifts can be heard coming from below the deck plates. => NavComp Solon_Halwinder has arrived. Solon_Halwinder enters Imperial Shuttle -- COMPNOR 1 Once inside the ship, Fleming heads toward the command computers lining the walls near the cockpit entryway, and turns to face Halwinder with a nod of his head. The coldness he often utilizes to instill fear and submission among civilians dissipates, and he tilts his head just slightly. "Thank you for coming," he says. "You have information regarding CorSec and this criminal organization they are involved with?" Solon Halwinder nods. "Ah, yes. I have concluded, through various sources, that CorSec has been infiltrated in many places, and in most others plain bought off by members of a criminal organization called 'The Maffi', headed by a CSA man called "Tyy'sun". He therefore in effect runs this place, and the Governor Bailey is much too weak to put an end to this. Though I do not believe she is directly involved." Korynn stands very still as he listens, nods his head when the name 'Tyy'sun' is mentioned, and straightens his head when Bailey is brought up. "Well, this seems to seal a few pieces together," he says. "Inquisitor Malign assisted in an interview with Colonel Virda." He pauses, glancing to the crew compartment for a moment, then looks back to Solon. "Apparently he learned something that has implicated Governor Laran. He ordered me to have her questioned as well. You think she's just stuck in the middle here?" His eyebrows arch inward. He trusts every agent's input, as much as he trusts Malign's mystical abilities. He may end up having to make a difficult decision regarding the Governor. High stakes, indeed. Solon Halwinder frowns. "Well, I don't know, truth be told, I was going off my instincts. She is likely, at the very least, complicit in these dealings, because she knows she is too weak to stop it. I do not think she is actively involved. But much of the fault lays at her feet." Fleming nods again. "Well, that may be, and this situation can be used to show her that she is not too weak to stop it unless she chooses to be weak. A planetary governor has power beyond reason, she simply may have neglected to use it. It seems, at this point, that Colonel Virda is our best lead... and I can ensure that the Governor's questioning is respectable, unless something direct comes up. She doesn't like what's going on here, but I have my orders." Solon Halwinder shrugs. "I care little for what she likes, and little sympathy for her. If I made the decision, she would be removed from her position. Since her tenure as Governor there has been much disorder here." "I lean to agree, but I'm certain both interrogations will put everything together." Fleming turns slightly, glancing toward one of the nearby computers. "I'm going to bring them both personally to the Inquisitor, where there are adequate Interrogation facilities. Would you be willing to oversee COMPNOR's efforts here while I am absent, or shall I assign this to someone else and leave you to your current duties?" Solon Halwinder smiles. "These are my current duties, Director. I help collect and prosecute people who threaten the New Order." An almost equal smile, sinister in nature, spreads across Korynn's face. "I will leave a full detail regarding the efforts here with you as soon as I have met with Major Levvis of the 501st. That is all."
