[Intentional Audio Message:]

Attention Luceti.

Assistance is needed immediately at the farms to the northwest of the village. We have hostiles and--

[The oddly cool, clipped tone that the message was given suddenly breaks off into a heated bark.] Putain de merde!

[There's a rustle of pages and the sound of bodies colliding, followed more swearing in French.

The feed cuts out.

Hurry, Luceti.]

Comments

[neversurrender]

[That's one way to do it. And way faster than what he had been planning.]

Good work. [He jumps into the sudden onslaught, taking down the Hydra agents closest to him.]

[thefinaljedi]

[And then Luke is upon the Hydra troopers, his lightsaber removing limbs. Between the Captain, the Jedi, and the Stormtroopers, they're quickly neutralized.]

You too.

[neversurrender]

[Finally the last of the agents get taken down and Steve slides his shield up his forearm. He's breathing a bit harder than usual but is otherwise unaffected by the fight.]

That was...eventful. [He spares a glance over at the stormtroopers.] Do we need to start worrying about them again?

[thefinaljedi]

Lieutenant, I think you and your men should leave.

[The Imperial trooper gives a nod.]

I'll tend to the wounded, General Skywalker. I'm...sorry, I don't know what came over us. We just...felt compelled to fight. Like our minds weren't our own

[neversurrender]

Like their minds weren't their own...[He gives Luke a long look.]

You think maybe there's more behind this than they're telling us?

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke points to the fallen Hydra agents]

You think they could've?

[neversurrender]

[His gaze follows Luke's finger to the body of the agents.]

I don't think it was them. They research some pretty crazy things, but they're no mind controllers.

[thefinaljedi]

Well, that isn't good. Seen anyone else that might fit the bill?

[neversurrender]

No. But I've had other things taking up all my attention.

[thefinaljedi]

Great, so there could be some mysterious puppeteer. Are these guys usually so crazy? [Again pointing to Hydra]

[neversurrender]

Yes. [His response is immediate. You kind of have to be crazy to work for the Red Skull.]

But I was talking about the Malnosso. They could be behind this, couldn't they?

[thefinaljedi]

No, I don't think so. They've got no reason to pit us against the other. Maybe its someone else in the enclosure...

[neversurrender]

There's a lot of things they have no reason to do. When has that ever stopped them? [Despite his protest, his eyes scan their surroundings for a possible mastermind.]

[thefinaljedi]

[There isn't anyone else, unfortunately. A mystery indeed]

Maybe its someone in town. A sorcerer or something.

[neversurrender]

A sorcerer. [He gives Luke a look.]

Exactly how are we supposed to find someone like that?

[thefinaljedi]

I don't know, hopefully we won't have to.

[Luke shrugs.]

The Lieutenant seemed a bit more reasonable though. So it was some outside influence.
