Meeting on dreadful news 8/11/21

[Anatketani]

((Early evening 11.13 @Governor Ava Forma @Tesara Anerin @Durro Thel-Tanis ))

At the conference room, Nova walked in where Durro was waiting and she did the final preps on the recording device that Ava had delivered. "For Astra since she won't be able to be here and we should do this before Tesara leaves." She informs everyone as she then does the final preps with making sure no one was around that wasn't invited. Once everyone was seated and ready, she turned on the recording device. "And recording, go ahead Durro."

Ryan walks in and eyes Durro with a frown. He moves to the farthest seat possible and then pulls it from the table and drags it to the wall.

He nervously stretched his neck before flopping down in the chair. His eyes not leaving Durro. In the Force, the man radiated fear and worry.
Tesara Anerin — 08/11/2021
Confused still, Tesara looked at Ryan, then at Durro with a questioning look.
TheTraveler — 08/11/2021
Ryan catches Tesara’s eyes and takes a finger. He slowly points at the side of his head then made multiple little circles, indicating crazy. Then pointed at Durro.
Tesara Anerin — 08/11/2021
Tesara cannot help but giggle a little bit, then does her best to smooth her expression as if she hadn't seen it.
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/11/2021
Nova sighed softly, she wasn't expecting Ryan nor him to be outrageous.
Governor Ava Forma — 08/11/2021
Ava watched Ryan's behavior closely and saw Ryan's behavior towards durro. It was strange and she had to wonder what was causing him to act this way. ' what happened between you an durro?' all she gotten from him was him saying he was dangerous. She also knew from durros own words that durro had a conversation with ryan about the hope station. Gathering what she knew and Ryan's reactions was leading Ava to belive durro did just more than have a chat with Ryan.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/11/2021
Durro listens to the goings-on as people enter; his own eyes closed and his mind in a state of quiet serenity as he prepares for this meeting. He smiles inwardly as he recalls the few times everyone has met like this. He is amused at the fear he senses from Ryan and the amusement from Tesara. He senses Ava's curious confusion and Nova's focus on the task at hand. When Nova tells him all is prepared, he opens his eyes and stands before the group.

"Thank you all for coming. Astra, I'm sorry you couldn't be here but this recording is for you. Watch it alone, be mindful, and pay careful attention. Once the recording has finished, it will delete itself."
He turns to Nova and confirms:
"You can have it do that, right?"
Noting her response, he continues.
"Right then. I've been asked to relay my experiences in the mountains, and while the events that happened were personal and difficult to explain, there were some visions I had that I believe we should all be aware of."
He takes a deep breath and continues.
"You all know my stance on visions and Jedi predicting the future. The future is always in motion, and the choices we make and actions we take will shape the future's ebb and flow. Any vision or clue to the future we may glimpse is just one possibility out of countless."
He raises a hand towards the recording devise, as if it were a person present.
"I can hear your protests now, Astra; I'm aware of and understand Jedi seers and their abilities. However your skills are, by your own admission, undeveloped and un-honed. Though it may not have been entirely incorrect. Though, like Lysire's vision while we were at the resort, I am hoping that even if it comes true; the worst of it can be avoided."

With that, Durro talks the party through his journey; starting with his arrival to the villages of Heere and Heere and meeting the speaker. He mentions studying the Underverse, but shares scant details, and nothing about his missing memories.
(((Out of space, to be continued.)))
He talks about the spirit school, describes the students and a bit about their culture; and shares two of their performances from the holocron. Finally, he talks about the conversation he had about the nature of the Force, about how it strains before disaster then snaps back once the destruction is done. He talks about seeing his home universe's thread during the Clone Wars, then how it snapped back after the fall of the Jedi. He describes how he saw the thread of the universe they are in now, the thread as it is now; how it is strained nearly to the breaking point. That, combined with Astra's vision and some of the spirits' warnings, leads him to believe that the Jedi's days are numbered. Something massive is coming for the Jedi Order, something that promises their destruction.

"So the question remains" Durro concludes. "Can this be stopped? If so, should it be? Is that our place? Nova mentioned that the deaths foretold in Lysire's vision were avoided because we were warned. Which is why I am warning you all now."
Turning to the recording device he adds.
"We are going to discuss this now, Astra. Meditate on this, and someone here will catch you up on what we discussed. May the Force be with you."
He gestures for Nova to end the recording.
@Players of New Horizons
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/11/2021
Nova kept quiet as Durro asked her a question which she shrugged to. She listened and made sure everything was recorded before seeing the gesture to stop, "It is fine to keep recording since we might ask questions that she would of asked." She informed Durro before looking at the party.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/11/2021
Durro nods.
"Very well. If you can, set the recording to delete itself once concluded."
He takes a seat, yielding 'the floor' to whomever wishes to speak.
Tesara Anerin — 08/11/2021
Tesara is frowning.  "It is possible, although I am afraid to even speak it aloud, that the thing within Lysire is what will bring this about.  If it escapes, she dies and it is possible that the Jedi die with her trying to fight something they cannot stop."  She bites her lip, it's a habit she has GOT to stop doing.  "This future you speak of will affect all Jedi across the known universe?  This one as well as the others?"
@Durro Thel-Tanis
TheTraveler — 08/11/2021

Ryan listens carefully unsure what to make of all of what is going on. He tilts his head to the side, "you are not being completely forthcoming, Master Jedi" He didn't move in his chair, "what are you not telling us this coming disaster?"
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/11/2021
Nova listened and then heard Ryan so she frowned, "I think he is being more forthcoming than the past, Ryan." She then looked at Tesara, "I think Lysire needs rescued from Lanus, then she and Sinya need to hunker down somewhere."
Tesara Anerin — 08/11/2021
Tesara nods. “I’m leaving after this meeting.”
Governor Ava Forma — 08/11/2021
Ava set there in her chair quietly listening to the conversations going back and forth. Her eyes dance across the table as her lips tasted the sweet wine she was enjoying.

"Anywhere other than Baklid, I would suggest," she offered. Responding to Nova's comment.
TheTraveler — 08/11/2021
Ryan's head shot up, "wait leaving after this meeting!?" there was rushed panic in his voice. "I thought we were leaving tomorrow morning," he stated.
Tesara Anerin — 08/11/2021
Without thinking, Tesara exhaled calming energy through the Force towards Ryan.  It was as instinctual as breathing.  “It’s all right, we can leave first thing in the morning.”  Tesara said quietly, then glanced at Ava for confirmation, a questioning look on her face.
TheTraveler — 08/11/2021
Ryan nodded, "okay, first thing in the morning." He stretched his neck again nervously as his eyes shifted back to Durro. Then he forced his eyes to look at the table and finally settled on Nova's recording device.
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/11/2021
Nova gave a nod, "Now let's talk about the other issue that is coming. Queen Vala, she is still after Lysire. She might even know that Lysire is on Lanus. Hopefully Pacey and your guards are aware of that threat coming." She said as she looked at Tesara.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/12/2021
"All the more reason to recover Lysire sooner rather than later. You should leave shortly after the meeting, as planned."
Durro glances at Ava and asks;
"Is there room for me to accompany Tesara? I would like to touch base with Sinya, as she never responded to my message."

(((Discord ate part of my reply. lol)))
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara glances at Ryan, then at Ava.  “While I agree that we should leave as soon as we are able,, Ryan said tomorrow morning he would be able to take us. I’d like to honor his request as long as Lady Forma….Ava that is…” She smiled. “I get so used to calling you that in public circles! As long as you are in agreement?”  Then she turned to Nova.  “Yes, Vala is a serious concern. I will make sure that I brief Colonel Pasey tonight so he’s aware.”
TheTraveler — 08/12/2021
Ryan shook his head, "no, it was agreed. Tomorrow morning!"

He pointed at Durro, "and no he shouldn't go with us."

Despite his outburst, it was the schedule which bothered Ryan more than Durro’s presence.
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara once again sent a calming burst of force energy at Ryan, then turned to Durro.  “ if you feel as if your presence is required of course you can come. But they also may need you here. Also, if I’m not mistaken, I believe that the hunters wish to speak with you. You were involved in the rescue of Quinn Vos, but if you leave the planet without first speaking with them and answering all of their ridiculous questions, it may look bad for you.”  She said quietly.
@Governor Ava Forma @Durro Thel-Tanis
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/12/2021
"The problem, I see is I am not sure Sinya is aware nor present near Lysire. So even if you went, Durro, I doubt you will be able to speak with Sinya." Nova said as she looked at Durro and Tesara, "I believe staying on planet will help us prepare in the incoming mess and also clear your name from these lies."
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara nods at Nova in acknowledgment and agreement.
Governor Ava Forma — 08/12/2021
" I belive you should contact the Jedi durro. Since you're interested in going than make sure the jedi don't delay you. Time is of the essence Durro getting Lysire, sinya and the shadow off lanus and somewhere far from the Balkid system is urgent. "  looking st both Durro and Tesara.


With a sympathetic gaze, Ava addresses Ryan. "You need not fear Master Thel-Tanis. Our friend Tesara will keep him at bay."

Then ava looks to Tesara, "it is your mission to lead, Tesara. You decide when you leave and who you wish to take. Though I urge Colonel Pacey and a few of his troops."
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
(((OOC i’d like to wait for Durro to respond - I am aware that might be a while which means we might have to table this until game tonight)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/12/2021
"The Jedi will be here when we return."
Durro says simply. He gives Ryan a kind, reassuring smile. "Frankly, I wish to accomplish a few goals with this trip. Including bringing Nova, if she is available and willing."
@Tesara Anerin
@Lady Ryne Roke
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara hesitates.  "Master..."  She begins, then glances apologetically to Nova.  "I believe bringing Nova with us might cause Lysire undue stress.  The last thing she remembers of Nova is..."  she trailed off.  "Well."  She sighs.  "Nova, please don't think I am being rude.  But I think it might be best if you don't come along.  I'm sorry."  She looks truly regretful.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/12/2021
Durro smiles at his apprentice.
"That is one of my goals, though. Ever since the aftermath of the resort, I've realized that things between Lysire and Nova have festered, rather than healed as I had hoped."
He gestures to Nova and Tesara
"I would like to heal these old wounds, and who better than Tesara, who has already proven to be a skillful peacemaker. Even more so than her old fool of a master."
@Tesara Anerin
@Lady Ryne Roke
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara turns to Nova.  "Nova, how do you feel about that proposal by Durro?"  She asks.
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/12/2021
Nova was listening to them as she looked between them and then when Tesara asked how she felt, she glanced Ava's direction, "If I am not needed for anything..." She trailed off as she knew Ava had the information she required but... "Then that leaves Astra, Roza and Ava on Baklid. Will you three be alright?"
Governor Ava Forma — 08/12/2021
" I will make sure Astra and roza remain safe while you three are away. Just becareful my love on your journey with them. " she softly spoke to nova.
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara is silent a moment, then sighs quietly.  "Astra will not be pleased at being left behind." She turns to the recording device.  "I'm sorry Astra, but you will have to remain here with Roza and tend to Quinn.  I'm hoping to see you before we leave."  She said clearly, then looked around the room.  "Please be ready to go at 7am tomorrow."  She glanced at Ryan, one eyebrow raised in question as to whether or not that was acceptable.
@TheTraveler @Lady Ryne Roke @Durro Thel-Tanis
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/12/2021
Nova sighed, "Guess I will have to set up that delete function then." She whispered to herself but Astra would of heard it over the recording. "Right so guess I am going to be on the trip to Lanus as well. Any other matters we would like to discuss?"
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara turns to Ava again.  "I'll inform Colonel Pacey of the increased amount of people coming."  She glanced around the room, hesitantly taking a long breath before speaking again.  "Have we heard anything from Kaleb or Reine?"
Governor Ava Forma — 08/12/2021
Ava shook her head she hadnt heard anything from Reine and Kaleb personally. As she then turned and look over at Ryan "Ryan, I don't think your presence is required any further. Why don't you go and get ready for your special mission," Ava said with a soft and playful wink.


"Oh and Ryan, I will speak with you shortly before you leave. I had an ideal, I want to suggest."
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Ava, I'd like to speak with you as well.  I can find you after you've spoken to Ryan."  She says.  "I do not have any other issues or questions.  Does anyone else?"
Governor Ava Forma — 08/12/2021
Ava finished speaking with Ryan and looked back at Tesara. As she lean back for an moment in her chair taking a sip of her wine.  " actually there is one more thing I would like to address, a matter I needed to bring up with you Tesara. " wondering if this should be private. Perhaps that is where the flaw was. She didn't wanted to possibly have this same conversation with durro. " when we was having our girl talk and I mentioned nova. " she paused gathering her thoughts " it sorta got push aside and it bothered me . Now I dont expect you guys to giggled and talk about girls non stop but I dont want to hide what I am and my relationship from my friends. Nova is my girlfriend, I want to be able to share my stories and my experiences as freely as you talk about boys. "
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/12/2021
Durro glances around in the uncomfortable silence. He clears his throat and says;
"I didn't think there were any issues, to be honest. I can't speak for anyone else, but yours and Nova's relationship was obvious to me and I can see how happy you make each other. It's actually the main reason I made sure to call Ava when Nova was in danger, to make sure she knew and knew we were on our way to help. If you felt ignored, perhaps your comments were buried in a larger conversation. I don't know, I wasn't there. I just know that I've been happy for you both."
TheTraveler — 08/12/2021
Ryan nods, and gets up to leave.
Tesara Anerin — 08/12/2021
Tesara's mouth falls open in astonishment.  She is literally speechless for almost a full 10 seconds before she can collect herself.  She closes her mouth with a click and does her best to swallow against the lump that just surged into her throat.  "I'm sorry, Ava.  I didn't mean to do that.  I would never...I don't....I've never had any issues or negative thoughts about you and Nova at all!  I know you're in love and in fact I just told Nova she should make your relationship public and official!"  Her voice rises in pitch, it is obvious she is upset at the idea that she has offended and hurt Ava, whom she regards as a friend.
Governor Ava Forma — 08/12/2021
/end ( since game has started)
Lady Ryne Roke — 08/12/2021
Nova announced the meeting an end and then shut off the recording device. She then wrote out instructions for how to delete it and let Ava hold onto it.
