What if you woke up and could use the Force? RR (JA)

Whoo. That was a good sectipon to respond to. It's forthcoming.

 

Andi & Elon


Mynn asked how heÆd know what drug had been used, and the reply didnt help Andi's feel any less nervious. "I know what they hit you with because they originally asked me to do it," Vask replied. "But I know a couple of Jedi who recognise the value of having friends in low places so I had no real incentive to take on the job. And a really good incentive not to."

Yoda was saying something about him, but really, Andi wasnt paying attention. She was trying her best, not do let her emotions slip, and Elon pick up on them.

Elon was simply listening, as he mused over that bit of information. It looked over at Andi for a moment, before he turned back, as Yoda spoke up. "Help you this young man wanted to. Even if the tactic was misunderstood". He paused. "Discount your suggestion we won't. Apologise I do, if tense we seem. Are you hurt?"

The stranger made a small seated bow towards the Jedi Master, "I probably could have been more open in my desire to help out Master Yoda, and I apologise for the mistake. But by the time I realised that these two could probably use some help I wouldÆve just looked like a set up anyhow." The stranger turned to Mynn & Andi, "IÆm Vask by the way. Professional merc and occasional bounty hunter."

Andi stayed silent, as she stared out a window she was sitting near. She felt as if wind was rushing in her ears, as she was doing her best to concentrate. But her focus came into crystal clear focus, when she heard the mans next words. "The guy who tried to hire me told me that the drug wouldnÆt have any unusual side effects on your Terran physiology, but I understand your desire to await proper medical treatment. If your Shadow used a different drug then there might be complications." He paused a moment. "Who was that guy anyway? Does one of the students at the academy have a grudge on you or something?"

Elon turned at looked at the young man. "And, who exactally was this 'guy' you keep mentioning. He seems to have taken an unusual interest." Elon asked softly.

Andi almost blinked off the shuttle, when she heard those words. TERRAN PHYSIOLOGY?! How in the fract did this guy know ANYTHING about them. It was a well guarded council secret. Andi moved to the back of the shuttle, as she quietly began to get the hickups as she curled up on the seat. Oh, this bit of news just made it worse. And as far as the other person who might be chasing them, she was totally unsure of that subject. She gently touched the necklace on her neck, as she tried to concentrate. But lately she was not having any luck in that matter. Her head hurt. Badly. She barely noticed when Elon came over to sit next to her. He placed a cool hand to her forehead, and her headache fadded somewhat. But it was still there. She gave a small smirk in response.

//You need to rest.// Elon stated simply. Andi wanted to argue the fact, but the look from Elon stopped any comments she might have uttered. In fact, she really DID want to do nothing more, than fall over and sleep. But not while this guy was around. And hearing him utter the words Terran did not sell well with her one bit. Elon simply placed a hand on her shoulder.

Andi was trying to think of what had happened, when all of this started, when suddenly she felt very tired. She gave a small frown, and she suddenly knew what was happening. Elon.

Warmth and sleeplyness, and Andi curled over on her seat. She was NOT going to sleep...not just yet. But she could close her eyes for just a moment....

Master Plo Kloon was quiet as he piloted the craft. There was something about their new visitor that did not quite seem correct. He waited to hear WHO had tried to hire this merc.

TAG: Mynn, Vask, hehehe..anyone





Shadow

He was furious! Plo Kloon had nearly gotten to him. And the other idiot, had warned his prey. Now, it would be even harder to get close. He climbed aboard his speeder bike, and took off from the fairgrounds, letting off some steam.

He gave a smirk. Well, he had gott

 

IC: Vask
?And, who exactly was this 'guy' you keep mentioning. He seems to have taken an unusual interest." Elon asked softly.
?Which guy? I?ve mentioned two so far. One was the shadow who shot at your young Jedi here, seemed a nasty sort of person too. I followed him into one of the buildings after I was given the slip by these two,? he indicated Mynn and Andi. ?He set the building on fire with some type of incendiary bomb and took a swing at me on the way out,? Vask said, motioning to the lightsaber burn on his shoulder. ?Fortunately he was in too much of a hurry to do more than that. I was sorta hoping you might be able to tell me about that guy,
He paused for a moment before continuing, ?the other ?guy?, the one who tried to hire me. Well, may or may not be a ?guy?. For all I know, ?he? is infact a super intelligent female mynock with a grudge against Jedi. Ya? see, I?ve never actually meet the person. Never seen, spoke with or anything. I just received an anonymous message on my datapad detailing who I would be hunting and a few ideas for how to incapacitate these two young ladies. I figured someone would take up the job so I looked into ways to re-capacitate them.?


OOC: I really need to get to work on a Micheal post some time soon. He's hard to write sometimes.

 

OOC: Oh man, I had written and posted a segment. It never amde it?? :'( Aww crud.Rewrite time.

Andi & Elon

?And, who exactly was this 'guy' you keep mentioning. He seems to have taken an unusual interest." Elon asked softly.

?Which guy? I?ve mentioned two so far. One was the shadow who shot at your young Jedi here, seemed a nasty sort of person too. I followed him into one of the buildings after I was given the slip by these two,? he indicated Mynn and Andi. Andi didnt reply, but something still didnt feel right. She just stayed curled up on the seat.

?He set the building on fire with some type of incendiary bomb and took a swing at me on the way out,? Vask said, motioning to the lightsaber burn on his shoulder. ?Fortunately he was in too much of a hurry to do more than that. I was sorta hoping you might be able to tell me about that guy."

He paused for a moment before continuing, ?The other ?guy?, the one who tried to hire me. Well, may or may not be a ?guy?. For all I know, ?he? is infact a super intelligent female mynock with a grudge against Jedi. Ya? see, I?ve never actually meet the person. Never seen, spoke with or anything. I just received an anonymous message on my datapad detailing who I would be hunting and a few ideas for how to incapacitate these two young ladies. I figured someone would take up the job so I looked into ways to re-capacitate them.?

Elon mused over the newcommers words, as he continued to check him out. A quick conference with Master Plo seemed to agree with the latter half of what he had said. He paused, when Andi suddenly spoke up.

"So..how come I could hear you trying to talk to us?" she asked him. Her voice sounded fuzzy, even to her, but she decided to ask anyway. She felt the shuttle shake softly. They should be back at the temple soon. GOOD. Then she could fall asleep proper. She would worry about the other guy later. She was simply too tired right now.

Elon looked over for a moment, before turning back to Vask. A bounty hmmm? Who would place a price to grab them? And he had mentioned the term TERRAN eariler. No one should even be familiar with the term. That he used it specifically towards Andi and Mynn was most disterbing inded. He added his own question.

"What where you supposed to do, after you caught them?" he asked softly.

OOC: Also while waiting for mynn's post...

IC: Vask
"So... how come I could hear you trying to talk to us?" Vask turned towards the young lady, she looks about ready to collapse, sounds pretty shook up too, I hope the temple isn?t too far away.
?I wasn?t sure you?d be able to. I learned how to shield my thoughts from Jedi perceptions years ago. I was just reversing the technique, lowering the barriers and amplifying my thoughts instead of dampening them. Sorta - thinking out loud.?
"What where you supposed to do, after you caught them?" Elon asked, his voice soft.
?I was supposed to get them off Coruscant, then I?d be contacted. No idea how the contractor was supposed to know if I?d gotten them or not. I wasn?t given any way to contact him or her or whatever. I don?t even know how I'd be contacted even if I did capture these two ladies. But I reckon there?ll be plenty of hunters who?ll try." He motioned towards Andi and Mynn, "one hundred thousand credits. Each. Someone really wants to get their hand on your Terran Jedi. And there are a lot of people out there who don?t have my incentives to not pick a fight with the Jedi Order.?

TAG: Jedi

 

One hundren thousand credits? Great, a freakin' bounty on our heads, becasue some noob knows we'er Terrans.


Mynn was enough that she wanted to hunt down the bounty setter herself and collect. Last time she was that angry was nearly fifteen years ago, and it nearly hzad desaterous results on the target. It felt empowering and sickening at the same time. The fist sized void in her stomach nearly made her want to vomit. For once Jauhzmynn was very glad none of the Jedi could sense her emotions in the force. She hated going through conflicting emotions like that.

Time for Brian to cook up one of his plans.


The barely percetpable landing was Plo Koon's handiwork. Mynn waited for the door to open before she bolted with some difficultly out of the craft. She staggered out of the bay heading for anyplace but there.


<Tag anyoone>

 

Andi and Elon


Andi vaguely listened to the mans response, but mentally, she had turned her thoughts inward. She searched until she found the person that she was looking for.

Mynns brother.

Once she found Brian, she quickly sent him a message.

//Better move. Mynn got hit with tranq. No touch force. Ship hanger numer...// Andi looked around the front quickly, passed Master Plo Kloon. //...23.// She stopped her message then, as she rubbed her temples. She wanted nothing more than to dissapear. Hearing the comments about about some type of bounty however, didnt help.

It also didnt help, that as soon as Plo Kloon had expertly touched down the shuttle, Mynn was lurching her way out of the doorway, trying to make a great escape. And Andi knew just how well Mynn could manage, if she got to put some distance between herself, and whatever she was running from.

A mental warning cry went up, and Master Plo was already out of the shuttle, using the doorway closest to him. He moved with Force speed, as he moved, catching up with Mynn.

Elon meanwhile, was speaking with Vask.

"Well, while I have no idea, what you mean by Terran Jedi, I do think the first thing I should do, is check this so called 'antidote' with what is already circulating within Mynn's system. That way, I can see what this little conconction is." Elon gave Andi a brief look, and she nodded, as he then pulled out his com device. He would need the other healers, and especially the head healer's help on this problem. They might even have to pull in a specialist, if it was as devious a drug, as he felt it might have been. The effects on Mynn were definately startling enough. And the price of the bounty would tempt many.

If other Jedi were also being targeted, it could be rather nasty. But one thing did confuse him. Why would they hand the folks they hired to hunt them down, an antidote? That didnt make sense to him. Elon frowned a moment, before he spoke to Master Yoda.

"We need to get her to the other healers. I will leave the problem of our 'guest' with you, Master Yoda."

//Do you wish to go to the healers? Or perhaps...//

Andi stopped him in mid thought. //Our Quarters!!...I want..no..need to sleep.//

Elon nodded. "Since Elon is with Mynn, we shall stop by our quarters first.

Andi was so glad that he did not argue the point, she simply nodded, as she stood up. She wanted to do nothing more, than to crawl into her covers, and sleep. Perhaps for a week.

Andi was already walking for their quarters, trying her best to keep her eyes open as she walked.

?Of course, what in the Force does ?Terran? mean anyway,? Vask replied, ?I don?t know what I was thinking.?
Vask passed the Jedi healer a datacard. ?Everything I could find about the drug and it?s effects, plus known antidotes is on this. I hope it helps.? He bowed as the Jedi left the shuttle, Terran Padawan in tow, then turned to tiny green master still sitting in the passenger compartment. ?Well Master Yoda, it seems I?m your problem now.

IC: Micheal

?Rogue Alpha to Master Halcyon, you ready for the hard part Nejaa??
?Not really no. But I suppose I have no choice do I??
?No choice at all,? I laughed. ?It?s tough being a well respected, well known Jedi Master, that?s one of the reasons I like the shadows. I don?t get stuck with all the reporters after the brilliantly successful operation.?
?And the politicians, don?t forget the politicians. Remind me again why I have to be the one to do this??
?Oh come on, it?s not that bad. You just have to give a little speech about how ?you were only doing your duty? and shake hands with some slimly politician all the while knowing me and Aren are enjoying ourselves down the cantina nursing a couple of Corellian ales. Shouldn?t take more than an hour or so.?
?Gee, thanks, you?re so reassuring. Go have fun Alpha, I?ll catch up with you afterwards.?
?Will do. See ya soon.?
I cut the channel and headed down toward the CorSec landing pad while the Jedi Master turned towards the government landing area. ?Poor bugger.?


OOC: Regarding Vask, he'll go with pretty much whatever, I only envisioned him as a temporary character anyway. But if Yoda can think of anything useful for him he'll be happy to help the Jedi out (for a small fee). Either trying to track down the person who put the bounty out or descretely guarding Mynn and Andi.

 

A post is coming soon. Tied up with work, college. Akk FInals.

 

OOC: Wow, that was one hell of a marathon. I just read the whole thing, beginning to end. So many people joined and dropped, even the originals aren't here anymore. Do you think my little incontinuity with Nejaa Halcyon will matter? (can't even remember who claimed him now)
Working on my next Micheal post now. I'll wait on Yoda for my next Vask.

 

OCC: It IS one heck of a marathon read isn't it?
It's ok Fanfic. That's what the story is here for. TO have a bit o' fun and a challenge. A few of us have tweeked GL's story to make it fit better.Like giving the jedi a LOT more depth, personality and <gasp> real reactions.:-D.

IC:

Brian and his mentor Farrin were busy working on sparring, grappling and weapon disarming techquices ranging from small blasters to ball bat sized items. More than once Farrin was a little surprised at his padawan's proess. The movements weren't like anything the Jedi master had seen.

"It's strange looking but effective."

"These forms have millenia old roots from tribes protecting themselves from neighboring invaders with better weapons." Brian shrugs, "If done with enough skill and speed, I could disarm you of your lightsaber." The eboney haired man added.

"I'm not that fast yet.."


A wide grin spread over the elder's features while he practiced a few forms and their accompaning footwork.

"One never stops learning even as a Master."

"That's true. I..what the?"

he stopped as a most unusual message came to him through the force from Andi.

//Better move. Mynn got hit with tranq. No touch force. Ship hanger numer....23.//

AN eyebrow quirked upwards.

"Master we have to get the landing bay 23. Andi sent a squirt saying Mynnie got tranqed and can't touch the force."



The other Jedi was picking up his things. "That's not good. Force inhibitiors are hard to get a hold of. Can feel her at all?" THe lankey jedi inquired while they'd left the training room. Brian mentally searched for Jauhzmynn in the hanger Andi mentioned.

"No, there's others, no Mynn.. It's not the same when she cloaks."


Farrin gave a quick nod, while they entered a repulser lift.

"Andi doesn't mentally raise a ruckuss like that unless it's VERY bad. I'll com Master Elon."

The trip itself was only moments but to a concerned 'sibling' it seemed to stretch into a lifetime.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile in hanger twenty-three, thins were getting interesting. Already a thrid of the way across the hanger, with the exit portal in sight, jauhzmynn made her escape. Or tried too, if it hadn't been preempted. She heard some movement behind her, and there was the Dorian Jedi master, Plo Koon. He WAS in the shutle cotpit.

Wow, this bloak's fast. The thought ran through her mind at the same time as alternaite means of escape. She tried getting around the Kel-Dor, he was a little faster and wasn't going to let her get past him.. She put up a sturggle until the Kel-Dor made her sleep. Brianand farrin came bursting into the hanger in time to see Mynn almsot ooze into Koon's arms.

Brian's concern and shockwas evident.

"Is she?"

"She'll be alright, jsut asleep at the moment."

Plo carefully picked her up.

"We have to get to the ward."

-----In the shuttle----

Elon meanwhile, was speaking with Vask.

"Well, while I have no idea, what you mean by Terran Jedi, I do think the first thing I should do, is check this so called 'antidote' with what is already circulating within Mynn's system. That way, I can see what this little conconction is."

Elon frowned a moment, before he spoke to Master Yoda.

"We need to get her to the other healers. I will leave the problem of our 'guest' with you, Master Yoda."


With a nod the small Jedi responded.

"Master Koon has her. Alerted Master An Paj I have, he will meet them on the way to the healer's ward."

Elon nodded. "Since Plo is with Mynn, we shall stop by our quarters first.

Vask had turned to Master Yoda.
?Well Master Yoda, it seems I?m your problem now. What would you have me do??


"A problem you aren't. Take care of that injury we must. Come with me to the Healer's Ward will you?"

He nodded towards vask's injury compluiments of the "Shadow's' light saber.

"Thank you for offering help. Not many would do what you did

OOC: So how would you guys like a hidden bodyguard on your trip? someone with a rifle sitting a couple of klicks away keeping his scope on you?
Hope you don't mind my little Yoda steal, I just couldn't resist the call of the gimmer stick. WHACK!


IC: Vask and Yoda

"A problem you aren't. Take care of that injury we must. Come with me to the Healer's Ward will you?"
He nodded towards vask's injury compluiments of the "Shadow's' light saber.
"Thank you for offering help. Not many would do what you did

For a moment, only a short moment saber wounds sting, Vask was going to protest. He cut himself off before he could start though, little gizka knows I wont refuse. I wanna? ?Ouch!? Vask leapt back as Yoda?s gimmer stick struck out at his shins, ?little I may be. But gizka, I am not.?
Vask hurridly threw his shields back up as he fended off a third whack, ?my apologies Master Yoda. I meant no disrespect, and isn?t there something the Jedi code about reading people?s minds??
?Hmmf. Reading I was not. Projecting you were,? he retorted, emphasising his point with a painful stab from that wicked gimmer stick. ?Learn to control your thoughts, you must. Now come, time is short. Due in the healers ward we are.?
?Of course Master Yoda, Can I offer you a lift??
The grizzled bounty hunter grinned as the venerable, green Jedi Master scaled up his arm and perched on his shoulder. Yep, Gizka.
WHACK!
?OW! Okay, we?re going.?


TAG: Healers ward, probably Yoda too if you guys decide that you want Vask hanging around.

 

OOC: Sure no problem fanfic. Andi and I alternaitly move him eventhough he's Mynn's Master and such. Called 'em a giza.ROTFLMBO!!!

IC: Brain, Master Farin, walked with Master Koon who carried an out cold bundle in his arms.

"I wish I'd've gotten there quicker."


Brian wasn't surprised his 'sister' could move eyeblink fast without the force.

She hasn't tried to use it to speed her reflexes yet. The two moved to keep pace with Plo's long quick stride..

//Brian, did I see what I thought I did? She actually advanced towards where Plo would be.//

Farin queried his padawan, trying to keep the shock off his face.

//Uh huh. Total instinct, I doubt she was aware she even moved. It's a tactical movement used in the martial we both practed back home. Whatever is in her system, it's altering her preceptions and might not be aware that she was perceiving Master Koon as a threat. It's a good thing one of us managed to get her with a heavy sleep suggestion.//

//She can't touch the force if Andi's right. Neither of us feels her.//

//She doesn't need it, there's other senses she has that are very acute. She trains to not rely on it incase it ever happens to disappear.//

Brian sighed rubbing his head.

//I didn't think she'd be using it this soon.//

Jedi training to not use the force. Padawans weren't taught the tecquices until later phases in their training by their perspective Masters.


Quartet reached the healer's ward in good time, just as Yoda showed up on a man's shoulder Brian didn't recognise. He too, looked as if he'd sprinted around Couruscant itself.

What on earth is a 'gizer'? Brain thought to himself while Plo deposited his sleeping charge on the bio-bed. The sibling walked over to her taking a small device off her belt.

"This might give us some clues." Handing the item to An-Paj.

The healer knew Brian,and Mynn had arrived with technology uniquice to their homeworld and with farin's tinkering, had improved on it. The devices would track and store the wearer's bio-data. and anything else the Gloal link was programed.

Paj activaited the small plasma screen, a few touches later a full length full colour hologram suspended itself over his patient's prone form.

"You've upgraded it. If you keep this up, itll but me out of business."

The grinned.

Brian shrugged at An-Paj's compliment. It was amazing how such a small seemingly insignificant device could be transformed into this. It was far beyound it's creator's orginal vision back home.



An Paj greeted Master Yoda and the young man with him. His trained eyes immediatly went to the wound on vask's shoulder.


"I'm AN-Paj, thank you for your help, if you'd sit over here, we can get to that wound." He moved his head around to address a Mon-calamari dressed in healer's gaarb.

"Bant. I need over here. Lightsabersaber wound."

"Is it Obi Wan again."

She burbled.

An Paj chuckled moving to the side.

"No, but someone did try to take his arm off. GOod thing it's not extrmely deep.. I'll leave you in her capable hands. "

Paj made quick introductions, then continued

"Let her know of any medcinal allergies you may have."

Elon had commed ahead stating info on the drug and it's antidote, he transfered from his datapadd to Paj's.
While he waited for Elon to arrive, An-Paj turned to Plo.
gesturing towards Mynn.

"Is that the result of the drug?"

The dorian shook his head.

"Sleep suggestion, the drug itself had some odd...affects on her. Changing the personality to something else."


"Hallucianitions?" Paj's eyebrows whent up.

Plo Koon gave his species varient of a shrug.

"No way to varify it, she can't be felt, or scanned in the force."

"Hhmm. could be the chemistry. Drugs react differantly with each being's biological chemistry. She seems to have stabilized, but I'm keeping an eye on her."

<Tag Elon, Andi Vask ALL>

 

IC: Vask
Vask lifted Yoda off his shoulder and placed him on the floor as they were greeted by a Jedi in the robes of a healer.
"I'm An-Paj, thank you for your help, if you'd sit over here, we can get to that wound." He moved his head around to address a Mon-calamari dressed in healer's garb. "Bant. I need over here. Lightsaber wound."
"Is it Obi Wan again?" She burbled.
An Paj chuckled moving to the side, "no, but someone did try to take his arm off. Good thing it's not extremely deep.. I'll leave you in her capable hands. "
?Thankyou Master Healer,? Vask bowed slightly before he turned to the Mon Calamarian Jedi. ?Whatever you have the time for on the shoulder would be much appreciated. I don?t expect you to have the time to fix it properly and a few painkillers would be more than enough for a non Jedi.?
The young healer gave her species equivalent of a smile before gently reaching out and placed a hand on the cut. Vask flinched away, expecting to feel pain from the touch. Instead, what pain was there began to diminish, ?we don?t usually use traditional painkillers here.? She explained to the bewildered bounty hunter, ?not unless our patient is in considerable pain. And we always have time to treat an injury, great or small. Whether you are a Jedi or not doesn?t matter. Come, we?ll get some bacta onto it, then I?ll show you what the Force can really do.?

You made a good charactor even if he was orginally intended to be a one time. Sometimes the charactors seem to emote themselves. If you want Vask to keep around, good, if you don't good. It depends on what your writting 'muse' is wanting.:-D

I tend to think the jedi would've been far differant than what george intended. Like they'er compassionate people, not elitst or arrogant as a whole. THESE Jedi, their main purpose is to serve and help all beings force sensitives or not. All beings are equals and precious to them. I'm wanting to improve the Jedi's public relations if aor when the purge starts, the Galaxy's people are behind them and stop it. ;-)ERvents won't go the same way as the movies. :-D

 

Micheal
Slowly, very slowly, I came back to consciousness. What the hell hit me? Almost at that moment a piercing alarm started ringing. ?Ow! Damn it that hurts,? I muttered, trying to locate the source of the infernal ringing. Finally I located a comm link. I clicked the answer button and held it up, ?hello??
?Good morning Micheal,? Nejaa?s voice boomed out, ?did you enjoy your first night on Corellia??
?Hopefully more than I?m enjoying my first morning," I groaned. "What exactly did I do last night??
?About half a bottle of Whyrens Reserve and a dozen or so Corellian Ales. I believe some of the pilots thought you to be dead at one point.?
?I wouldn?t discount the possibility. I feel like someone put a metal bucket on my head and spent the night hammering on it with a wrench.?
?Well I can believe that. Get showered and dressed, casual not Jedi or Sith or whatever. Corellians have some of the strongest alcohol in the galaxy, by way of compensation we also have one of the best hangover cures. I?ll pick you up in 30 minutes.?
?Ok, I?ll see you then.?
I clicked of the comm and stumbled towards the fresher, cursing Corellians and their alcohol all the way.


OOC: Just my first encounter with Corellian drinking. Was one hell of a good time.
My muse is suggesting holding on the Vask, although he distracts me from Micheal (which is good and bad). If he's not a crimp in your style it'd be cool to have him with the Jedi, if only so I can interact with you ladies. But if it upsets your style that's cool, there's other places I can go with him.

?Why will the Jedi Order die??
I paused with my third cup of caf halfway to my mouth, startled by Nejaa?s bluntness. I slowly put my cup back down while I thought my response through, ?to satisfy a Sith Lord?s thirst for power. And to eliminate any threat to that power.?
?And how is it possible? How can one Sith Lord destroy the entire Jedi Order??
?He doesn?t, that?s the thing. He makes it impossible for the Jedi to not be destroyed, one way or the other. He sets up a war, so the Jedi either fight and die.?
?Or don?t fight and destroy their reputation as Guardians of the Republic,? Nejaa finished.
?Exactly, both options are fatal to the Order.?
?So how can we prevent that? How can one Jedi and an invisible Shadow prevent a war??
?By changing the Jedi. The Jedi Order has become arrogant, they believe that the Sith are dead and gone, that there is no threat to their power. And all the while the Sith are infiltrating the Republic Senate.?
?How is that even possible? The Jedi would know if a Sith were in the government.?
?Really? I doubt that somehow. The Sith have changed since the Jedi last encountered them, they are subtle, sneaky. Invisible. Just waiting for the right moment, the right political factors, the right mood across the galaxy. And they?re setting up events that will cause the right mood, the right politics. The Sith have evolved while the Jedi have stagnated.?
?So what do you suggest? How can the Jedi fight back against a threat they can?t see??
?How many Corellian Jedi are there??
It took Nejaa a moment to recover from my sudden tangent, ?uh, about 30. Why, what do you have in mind??
?Would they follow you??
?Follow me where? Why does it matter how many Corellian Jedi there are??
?It matters because I?m willing to bet that you Corellians have an ?unofficial? hierarchy within the Order. And that as a Master, you?d probably be pretty near the top of that hierarchy.?
?Fair assumptions. And fairly accurate ones. But why does it matter? Are you going to tell me what you?re planning??
?You already know what I?m planning. You?ve spent enough time with Rostek Horn that some of his deductive powers must have rubbed off on you. Tell me what you think I?m planning.?
?A revolt. A Jedi revolt, designed to through the Sith off balance.?
?Exactly,? I smiled. ?And something else too, I mentioned it when we were planning the pirate operation. Something about Corellia and the Republic.?
Realisation dawned across his face, ?you?ve planning a revolt? That?s what you want to do, throw the galaxy upside down on itself??
?The galaxy upside down, the Jedi Order split. It?ll confuse the Sith and give them more enemies to target. And two of those enemies have an idea of what they?re planning.?
?Do you understand what you?re asking of the Corellian people? Of the Corellian Jedi??
?I know exactly what I?m asking of them. I?m asking the Corellians to lead a revolt, to form a government apart from the Republic, to build up their own armed forces. And I?m asking the Corellian Jedi to support them.?

Slowly, Vask returned to consciousness. It was a marked improvement over he last time. His lungs didn?t hurt, his heart wasn?t running on overdrive, and his head didn?t feel like there was a marching band running around in it. He pushed himself up onto his elbows and found the Mon Calamari Healer, Bant, looking at him.
?Welcome back, how does your shoulder feel??
My shoulder? Why would me should... Oh yeah. That?s right.
?Much better actually, thankyou.? Vask sat up circled his arms a few times, it barely even twinged. ?How long was I out for to get this kind of healing? A day??
?Nope. You?ve been out just over an hour,? she giggled at Vask?s shock, ?I told you I?d show you what the Force could really do. Just go easy on it for the next day or so and you?ll be good as new.?
?Thankyou, how can I repay you??
Another grin, ?you don?t. Instead of paying us you get to spend time with Master Yoda, which may be a payment or a bonus, depends on your perspective. He?s been waiting for you to wake up. As soon as you?re ready I?ll take you too him.?
It only took Vask a moment to pull on a fresh tunic the Jedi had provided for him, nice of them. then Bant led him out into a waiting area where Yoda awaited them, gimmer stick at the ready.
?A payment for your services I am not, Bant.?
Vask fought to keep a grin of his face as the Mon Calamari went very, very pale. Yoda twitched his stick and she fled from the room. For a few seconds the little Jedi master maintained his stern mask, then he let it drop and began chuckling.
?You really like to stick it to them don?t you? It?s not becoming of a Jedi Master to indulge in teasing his students. Besides, you?ve got a lot more years experience than they do.?
?Preparing them for the outside world I am. When see through my pranks they do, ready they will be.?
?Why do I have the impression that most Jedi die before they are ready?? Vask regretted the words almost as soon as he said them, someone as old as Yoda would surely have lost many friends to time. But it didn?t seem to bother him, ?indeed they do. Rare is the Jedi who left this temple ready for what he would face. But come here to torment young Jedi I did not. A proposal I have for you.?
?A proposal? What can career merc possibly offer the Jedi Order??
?Protection you can offer.?
?Protection?? Vask blurted, then started laughing. ?You?re crazy, even if you are a Jedi Master. How can I protect Jedi??
?New to ?civilized space? they are. From a distant planet they have come. Beyond the Out Rim. Not familiar with all the beings of the Galaxy are they, or all the dangers.?
?So you want me to hang around a couple of wet behind the ears Jedi and baby sit them??
?Use the term I would not. And neither would you, when near them you are. Regret it you will.?
?You?re serious about this aren?t you??
?Thought I was joking did you??
?To an extent, yes. I can?t image Jedi, even inexperienced Jedi, needing help in a fight.?
?Humph. Nothing about fighting did I say. To help them avoid combat, your task will be.?
?So that?s the price is it? You fixed up my shoulder, I look out for a couple of inexperienced Jedi on a mission??
?No! Payment this is not. To stop you walking away, nothing there is. Your choice it is. But live with the choice, you must.?
?What will happen if I do walk out??
For a few moments Yoda said nothing, he just stood with his eyes closed. Vask was just about to ask if he was ok when his eyes snapped open.
?If walk out you do, diverge your paths will. Whether meet again you will, is unknown to me. If walk away you do, less protection they will have from those wishing to harm them, use your help they could.?
?Why me? There must be dozens of Jedi masters here, even discounting yourself, who could look after two young Jedi far better than myself.?
?Protect them a Master could. But obvious they would be. Unexpected you would be in the presence of

 

Just a little bump to get this off of page 2. It seems that Jauhzmynn and Ktala have forgotten about this poor little thread

 

Darth Real life has been put in jail.

I have HARDLY forgotten this favorite little place of mine...

ANd YES..I will post THIS NIGHT..with any luck!






EEK!!

PS.

Yoda would NOT TELL VASK ANYTHING ABOUT US to him. We are the best kept secret within the temple. NO EVEN THE OTHER JEDI KNOW!!

So, no way in heck, he is going to tell Vask such a thing, in so short a time.

NO NO NO

 

OOC: Ok then, I'll edit. 'Tis no problem.

 

OOC:
I didn't forget. I was in the midst of moving and waiting PATIENTLY for the cable company to hook everything up. Then i had to trouble shoot THEIR equipment. <sigh> O=they need to pay ME for it.:-D

I agree with Andi. Yoda wouldn't tell anyone about Terrans. Only he and mace WIndu know. As far as the rest of the Jedi are concerned we'er from an outter rim world's sun went nova. We'er Jedi but from a radically differant training tradition that's native to our "world".(I'll come up with a name and backstory.:-D/) basically our orginal masters got all the people off the planet and their adawans(us) but they(masters) didn't escape in time. hence why we'er all master-less and in various stages of training.
