Back At It Again

He raised his head from the table without even knowing what he was doing, vision dark and blurry despite the bright lights of the room he was in. The faint humming of an engine somewhere indicated he was on a ship, but the handcuffs on his hands, which were stuck to the table, indicated this was not a friendly ship. Levi looked around the room, which was metallic—pure durasteel, from the chair he was sitting on to the walls. There was nothing else in the room, though there was what looked to be a one way window on the wall behind him.

"Where the fek am I?" he mumbled, frowning as the headache set in. He had been stripped of all possessions, it seemed, and was now just wearing plain black pants and a black shirt, an Imperial insignia on it along with the words "PRISONER" in bold red text. "Oh."

No one came into the room, so he supposed they didn't know he was awake. Levi glanced around again, this time more intently. The door was a classic sliding durasteel door. There was, fortunately, a panel on the inside, but it was activated by fingerprint. The window seemed to be difficult if not impossible to break, but there was no telling until he actually tried. The Force worked in mysterious ways, and he knew he might be capable of breaking through if he really focused.

But the first order of business was getting out of the handcuffs. The Jedi looked down at his hands, closing his eyes and slowing his breath. He stayed like that for a few minutes, aware that time was on his side. He meditated softly in that time, surrendering himself to the Force and just letting his aura float amongst its ocean. His mind blank, he channeled the space around him, drawing from the power of the great big sea. He wrapped the Force around the chain that held the cuffs together and pinned to the table. Then, he tore it open.

His hands now free, Levi stood from the chair and turned toward the mirror, his reflection staring back. His hair was matted and his eyes looked tired, but there was still hope burning within. The Padawan sat down on the cold floor, legs crossed. Then, he got to gathering the Force once more, this time within his palms, like a ball he was holding with both hands.

OOC: You didn't post for 48 hours so I'm just gonna treat it as a time out so we can keep the thread going.

It gathered within, swirling and pulsing as Levi channeled it, his touch welcoming and warm, unlike a dark sider's. The Force welcomed those who knew how to treat it, and rewarded them; hopefully it would do so now. Levi opened his eyes, his reflection staring back at him, hands holding an invisible ball of energy. Then, it snapped out of his hands and zoomed forward, the Force slamming into the the window.

It exploded, sending shards of glass flying into the room in front of him. Some embedded themselves into the guard that was in there, sleeping on a chair, killing him instantly. Levi knew because he could feel his spirit leaving his body to join the Force, a small mark of darkness bearing down on him for taking a life. Still, he had no other option. If the Force willed it, this was the path he would take.

The window now gone, he peered into the chamber in front of him, a dark room with several monitors and other technical stuff littering a durasteel table. Other than the dead guard, no one else was in there, and the Jedi vaulted over and into the room. A locked door was up against the far wall, with a keycard scanner that would open it. Levi grabbed the card off the guard's lanyard and scanned it, finding himself out on the hall of the ship only moments later, the man's stun blaster now in Levi's hands. He needed something to defend himself with, though he had a sneaking suspicion that there would be no defending if he actually was found out.

The Jedi broke into a light but quiet sprint, heading for what he assumed was the side of the craft—where the escape pods were located.

OOC: Timed out again.

There was a sudden jerk, gravitational forces yanking things to the side as the ship came to a sudden halt. For those accustomed to space travel, it only meant that the ship had docked into Korriban's spaceport. Levi's escape pods would still be a viable option, after all, he could still sneak away through the masses of Korriban's military garrison. Who would see a single prisoner rummaging around waste and litter, only if he was clever enough to pull a stunt like that. However, it would inevitably be unnecessary...

As Levi ran, he would notice a cold and unwelcoming plight through the hallways and corridors, almost as if someone had purposely turned down the heating drastically and left the ship in a frigid tundra. Lights momentarily flickered, canisters fuzzing in and out as the wretched wail of tortured souls emanated through the ship's hull. The young Jedi, strong in his force potential would feel a nefarious presence, one tainted with sinister evil but incredibly powerful. It was saturating but simultaneously alluring as it drew him inwards and provided a darkened, tantalizing touch.

"Why are you leaving me?" The voice said, striking telepathically in the mind of the rebel...it was almost childish but laced with a darkened agenda.

The ship jerked, throwing him into the wall to his right, but Levi recovered quickly, continuing his advance to the escape pods. He turned a corner and felt his heart drop as an insidious presence suddenly permeated the vicinity. It was of utmost evil, sending waves of dark energy out from within its source. Levi didn't know what exactly was the source, but he definitely didn't want to find out. The Jedi started running faster.

And then he heard a woman's voice inside his head, and Levi stopped. He was right in front of the escape pod. The Padawan pressed the button to open its door and prepared to step in—but the pod closed before he could. He tried again, with the same result. Levi turned around, gripping the pistol in hand, fully prepared to defend himself. Then again, he had a sneaking suspicion the gun would do nothing.
