OOC: Open to Mandalorians rallying against the Sith
OOC: Open to Mandalorians rallying against the Sith
Both of Kotii's gloved hands were clasped together. His left cybernetic appendage was balled into a fist with his still organic digits wrapped tightly around the MorataCorp crafted bionic. Things were changing quickly and the important thing was not to be idle. Staying still meant death and if their location was known, move. It was the training his father had drilled into him at a young age.
In the wake of the Sith's arrival to Mandalore, Kotii had taken it as an act of aggression, an invasion and mobilized what defense forces he had at his disposal. The self proclaimed Warden of Mandalore knew the dark siders would have come eventually. Even if Srucayr had not drawn their attention, it would have come sooner or later. They were a force of evil and were not to be trusted under any circumstances. Kotii hated them vehemently. He was disappointed to know that many of his peers were quick to jump ship.
Long hours of silence were followed with contemplation for Alor. These were the times that shined a spot on a leader's capabilities. The man wanted to do what was right for his Clan and people. More than that, he needed to think about Hauron. The Mikkian foundling had lots of questions, the kind that Kotii didn't know how to answer, or even have the answer in the first place.
The House Solus flotilla had arrived over Hypori. The Zann Consortium facility Arthos and Kotii had delved into had since been cleared out. Standing orders were to remain ready to move at a moment's notice. The badger had studied the tactics of the Galactic Empire of old. They had superior numbers and weapons to most of the galaxy with freedom of movement. The Mandalorians that did not abide by the Sith's rules were enemies in their eyes and Kotii wasn't going to enable their chances. Even history had accounts of the division between Mandalorians, extensively. If one said only Jedi and Sith meditated they would be surprised to find Kotii trying to clear his mind in self isolation.
The rendezvous location was picked because it was not meant to be a permanent location. In fact, Kotii had to consider what assets the Sith now knew about. How many of their brothers and sisters were going to hunt down and kill their own people for the Dark Side's agenda. Kotii was too stubborn and too proud to accept a monster as a leader. Kotii had never heard of the Mandalorian who now held the title, but it broke his heart to hear about the division. Now they had to deal with it.
The boxy Lictor class dungeon ship was joined by several other capital ships loyal to House Solus. Taking a deep breath, Kotii would join his friends aboard the bridge. Commlinks and holoprojectors activated for those in their own ships and their appearance showed with the slight blue static that was common place. He took a moment before addressing those present. He wasn't calling a meeting or a moot, or anything of that sort. This was a war council and they were going to make a plan of attack. Otherwise he would make one last trip to Mandalore before giving Fenyang a call and challenge him for his place as Mand'alor if for no other reason than to deny the Sith a puppet.
<"You know I'm not one for speeches..."> he spoke plainly to the variety of helms that looked back at him. <"...so does anyone have anything they want to get off their chest before we kill some not jedi?"> It always pleased Kotii that Sith didn't get their own word in Mando'a. Just like Dar'manda, they were defined by their loss of their way. But many could and would accuse Kotii if given the chance.
The Alor of House Solus had relaxed his hands from fists by now. But the swirling emotions were hard to keep in check for Kotii. It was for this reason he could somewhat see the perspective of his Mandalorians that had sided with the Sith. It was a lot for him to process but one thing was for certain. This was an act of war and Kotii intended to strike back. He wouldn't let this act go unanswered and hoped to rally others.
