Skeang touched down on Fondor, finding the ships that the neo-jedi sent here had used was not hard. When Skeang landed they were neatly parked outside a large decrepit warehouse, fully operational, barely scratched even. Whoever had stopped his men clearly was not interested in them. Which ruled out bandits, though Skeang would have been sorely disappointed if mere bandits could get the better of people he had trained. It took him several minutes to find an entrance to the complex. He pressed himself against an outside wall near the door and listened inside. The sounds he heard were mechanical in nature, but with several heartbeats mixed in. Skeang looked in all directions for signs of life but it seems like the whole area around the complex had been cleared out. Something felt wrong but he knew that the only way he was going to find out what exactly was going on was to enter, trap or not. And with that thought he pushed open the rusted door into the complex.

Hurrikane stood still and patient as only a droid- or perhaps a rock- could; surrounded by a small horde of grotesque beasts that were once men and other normally proportioned sentient beings. Their breath was ragged. Their faces downcast in a gloom of self-disgust, shame, and defeat. They all knew what they would soon have to do. They had no choice.
Hurrikane understood their feelings all too well. For the last two years he had lived under the control of a cruel and remorseless being, with no way to stop it himself. He tried and tried to break free- at first with The Force(since only his droid body programming was being controlled), but in time and with fell Sith sorcery even that power was taken out of his control. He could not even destroy himself. He- who had devoted himself to becoming a Jedi- to learning the ways of balance in order to do good for the people of the galaxy- was forced to commit acts of evil every day.
When the door flew open the four beasts around him huffed and roared in a fit of rage and fear and despair. They twitched and shook, one even wept, as they tried to fight their orders and break free of the parasites that controlled them. But Hurrikane knew it was all for naught. He knew that soon they would succumb to the rage and bloodlust and attack the one they once called teacher, boss, leader.
Friend...
"Skeang," his hollow, metallic voice rang through the building, "You should not have come."

Skeang's mind went blank as the familiar voice registered to him, within seconds Skeang had dashed forward toward the sound. Seeing a somewhat familiar figure. Hurrikaine his short lived comrade who had eluded him in the last few years. Skeang's men had searched for any word of him or the sith Skeang knew had control of him but with little luck, and now he stood before him. Albeit very different, as whoever was using him as a puppet frequently changed his droid shell. Skeang readied himself to liberate his friend from the oppressive force that held him, but he stopped short when the haggard, disgusting forms of his men appeared. Skeang thought himself a being of strong constitution but to see the horrid sight of his friend now with the broken forms of Skeang's comrades was enough to halt him in his tracks.
"It.. it.. has been a while. Can I assume your master has taken more of those I care about?"

"I'm so sorry Skeang. I truly am..." The beast-men riled more at seeing Skeang. "I felt you reach out a moment ago. If you attempt to free me the thermal detonator planted in my body will destroy me, your subordinates, and probably take a sizable chunk out of you as well. Personally... if you were willing to risk it I would not hold it against you. They are doomed whatever happens and I will only continue to be used for ill...It may be easier that way. A mercy."
The mutated beings could hold back no longer. The one on the left, who may have once been a Twi-lek (judging by a green tentacle-like appendage that writhed from the side of his head), charged at Skeang. His right hand, which was now more of a mangled nub with a hole it it, ignited into a fiercely sized, red lightsaber blade.

Skeang grit his teeth, he suspected the neo-jedi were beyond saving. But he knew if he could get the actual Hurrikaine he could be saved. Waves of dark force energy surged into him, Skeang was furious that someone would treat his friends like mere puppets. Using a bit of the force Skeang dodged the strikes of the twi-lek.
"You know I'm not gonna give up on saving you. In fact I can promise you that one of these days I'll save you and we together will make your master regret making monsters like this."
Skeang continued dodging the clumsy strikes of the twi-lek, finally knocking it aside with a light punch.
"I have to guess you were sent here for a reason. Are you able to tell that reason to me?"

A second beast fell on him. This one igniting two blades, the third began charging some sort of energy weapon. And the fourth, which had been rendered armless) opened its jaw to release a gout of flame.
"Only to tell you that this mad man wants something with you Skeang. I don't know why, but he'll continue to hurt you and those around you until he has you....that much I know.." He began slowly walking backwards into the shadows as the beasts occupied Skeang. "I'm leaving now apparently. But I can tell you this one thing my friend. He doesn't want you to find him. And because of my programming I can't tell you where he is. You fought a Firrerreo before on Coruscant. He is currently in the company of Rayn, I saw them by chance some time ago. Find out how to get in contact Rayn. Maybe you'll find the Firrereo. He has knowledge that may lead you to where The Shaper dwells..." He had soon disappeared from sight. The sound of his leg hydraulics fading into the night.

"The Firrerreo, got it. Thanks for the information I guess.."
Skeang wasn't sure if the shard was still able to hear him as he finished his sentence. It was then that the blade of a lightsaber pierced into his side, part of his body was on fire but Skeang was calm. He really didn't want to have to do this to them but it needed to be done.
"I regret having to do this to you. So if any of you can hear me, be sure, the creature that did this to you. Will endure more pain than any of you have felt."
Skeang took a deep breath, rage filling his every fiber in his massive body. Reaching for his sith sword, he knew to aim for the head. To make it quick and painless. With one swing the one with the double bladed saber was gone, he deflected the energy weapon and removed its head with a mighty swing. Next turning to the flame spewing one was next to have its head removed, still belching flames nearly five seconds after it hit the ground. Leaving only the twi-lek who Skeang with much regret finished. Wiping the blood from his body Skeang sprinted through the factory, toward his ship. Blowing the door off its hinges he rushed to his headhunter as quickly as he could. Fueled with a nearly all consuming rage toward the Shaper, and still incredibly shaken he sent a message:
Lents, I need to find Rayn. Get a hold of him and get me a location, time is a factor

A short time later, a message flew through the holonet to ping on Skeang's commlink.
