Another terrible Soren mission finished

by Syrian

I honestly didn't expect it to be so easy. We landed with little fuss. We walked into the "temple" with no trouble. Soren broke the code and we won the prize. Just like that. No fights, no traps, nothing. Then we left. If only it hadn't taken so very much trouble to get here. Of course that was only the first step. Now that the mission is accomplished we have to deal with the slaves because Kid will never let it go.
 
We traveled, once more, to the eighth moon, a deformed asteroid that's just moon sized. Thanks to our efforts in the command center the doors were accessible and we were able to fly right in. The place was a disaster, but then after thousands of years without new resources it makes sense they would have had to salvage anything they could for maintenance. Shortly after entering we came to realize this place is a maze of warrens. I was able to guide us to the central slaves chamber, following the air currents in the facility.
 
After a pointless side trip Silhara managed to acquire a poorly maintained energy whip. It has potential, but not much. Shortly after, while trying to navigate this maze, we ran into our first group of slaves. There were dozens of them, and also a dozen and a half droid guards. After the things we had been set upon by up until this point I was expecting to be in serious trouble. The truth couldn't have been further from that situation. They were little better than walking piles of junk. Just before we finished off the last of them, the moon experiences one of the gravitational anomalies that plagues this system. Soren tried to take credit for it, of course, but he isn't fooling anyone with his stupid hand waving.
 
Regardless of how easy they were we had no intention of fighting wave after wave of them, and tried a different path. This brought us to the real meat of the facility. It seems that one of the Jedi from a thousand years ago had managed to upload his mind into a droid, or a console, or something, and then went a little insane. He built himself a giant conglomerate body, making use of the unusual merging properties of the crystals here. Unfortunately, before we put him down he was able to destroy the transports and all the crystals they contained. This is actually a good thing, and it will make it more likely we'll be able to hide the crystals from outsiders for when we try to sell this place.
 
The the confusion Silhara also managed to resurrect and apparently tame a giant crystal beast. It died when the construct died, but somehow left behind an egg that she's gone completely gah gah over. It's a disconcerting. I'm not looking forward to the moment she forgets there is a creature inside it and decides it would make a huge, and therefore great, breakfast. It also turns out that Silhara sent a message to her Xexto Jedi friend Urope, inviting him to come save the slaves. While this is good, I don't like her using her initiative if it means not telling us about it. Now it's a race. We need to get as many crystals as we can and block up the entrance so the Jedi don't find it. We use the crystals as proof of product and sell access and rights to the mine for a massive payday.
