IC- Lord Grievance Vexx
Vassek III - Lair of Grievance
Med Bay
Upon Katagaris Pandemonium’s surrender in the duel, Vexx had called upon the Force to render his apprentice unconscious. There was little Katagaris could do in his defense, considering he was substantially injured and Vexx had not withdrawn his execution of Force Sever. The cyborg Sith Lord had watched with little concern as his apprentice slumped into the arms of unconsciousness like a wilting flower. He will survive, but there is certainly some work to do.
Plopping the smaller Kaleesh into his personal starfighter, the Coup De Grâce, Vexx isn’t the gentlest about it, but he has little doubt that Katagaris didn’t feel his head smack against the floor in his unconscious state as Vexx had tossed him there like a sack of bantha poodoo.
Upon arriving on Vassek III, the cyborg hauls his apprentice’s lifeless form inside his fortress and takes him straight to his personal med bay, where the creepiest of EV model medical droids totters about, sorting supplies and mumbling to himself about his master’s lack of organizational skills.
“Doctor! Front and center,” Vexx orders, “I am in need of your services.”
“Greetings to you too, Master,” EV-A4-D replies with distinct attitude, “What did you break that I need to fix this time?”
“I need you to fix his arm,” Vexx replies, dumping Katagaris on one of the steel tables in the center of the room.
“And who is this?” the droid asks, roughly poking Katagaris in the belly, “Another friend you played too roughly with?”
“No!” Vexx snaps impatiently, “He is my apprentice. Katagaris Pandemonium. A Kaleesh assassin.”
“Master...I know as a Sith it’s a thing to break your apprentice,” EV-A4-D replies awkwardly, “But I am pretty sure you are going about it all wrong.”
“Never mind,” the Krigsbefallaf of House Cruor growls, “His arm is the only thing that is damaged. Can you repair it or not?”
“You are joking, right?” the droid doctor’s voice deadpans, “I am a medical professional. Of course I can repair it.”
“Good. See to it then. We have much work to do and he cannot very well do it with a mangled appendage.”

Some time later, Katagaris is left to recover in the med bay. EV-A4-D remains nearby, monitoring his condition as Vexx lifts the unconsciousness he had placed on his apprentice. His arm has been stitched and bandaged; packed with bacta gel packs and the bone set in a cast. Across the room, Vexx stands shrouded in shadows, his eyes glowing eerily in the dark and giving him the look of a hulking monster stalking in the corner.
“Awaken, Katagaris Pandemonium,” his rumbling cybernetic voice commands, “Now that you have officially surrendered yourself to my teachings, there is much to be done. I must restore your connection to the Force first and foremost, but I prefer you to be awake for that.”
He watches and waits as the Kaleesh assassin begins to stir, his fingers twitching from their place peeking out of the cast on his injured arm. Vexx can also see Katagaris’s eyes rolling and shifting beneath his closed eyelids. Still, the metal monstrosity is patient as he waits for Katagaris to come to, but below the calm exterior, he is eager to begin crafting his apprentice into a fully fledged Sith.
