(3.22) In to the Abyss
In to the Abyss
Deep within wild space
ISA Ka-riss-ah
Daz woke up to a start as the emergency lights flashed red in his quarters. He leaped to his feet as he saw the light above his door flashing 'Alert' in red as sirens filled the air with their sounds of alarm. He grabbed his clothes while dawning his breather mask and goggles. As he rushed for the door he reached out with the force and snapped his lightsaber in to his waiting hand. The door hissed open just in time for Daz to see a creature right before him. The creature turned and struck out at Daz without warning or reason. Daz leaped back in to his room and activated his lightsaber to increase his defense. The creature appeared if not as tall as Daz maybe just a bit shorter. It had two arms and two legs and a twisted humanoid body. Right above its two large yellowish eyes were long horns like on a Twi'lek. However these horns were rigid and hung outward and behind the creature.
The creature pursed Daz in to the room lunging at the attack once more. Daz side stepped the razor sharp claws narrowly. He spun on one foot as the claws passed once more by him harmlessly. In a fluid motion, Daz brought his lightsaber up through the creature and cut it in half. As it laid on the floor dead, Daz watched it blind in to the shadows till it was gone. A nose brought his attention back to his room as three more creatures were now stepping forth from the shadows of his room. He backed carefully from the room, and while he entered the hallway he saw it filled with more of those creatures. Beyond the creatures he saw a helpless Atril being led away in to the shadows by a few of the creatures. He could see a number of the crew attempting to fight the creatures but they too were being pulled and dragged in to the shadows.
As he looked around more, he could see think smoke along the ceiling of the corridor and it was getting thicker. He turned to attack the nearest creature as it moved closer to him. With a mighty swing of his blade he killed the creature and just like before it vanished in to the shadows. He turned to face the other creatures, summoning up the force and thrust his hand outward at them. They all flew back the entire length of the corridor. Checking the corridor once more and seeing that it was clear for the moment he turned and rushed for the bridge. As he ran down the corridor, a creature leaped out from a room at him. He slipped in to a slide and dodged the attack that now swung harmlessly over his head. As he slid next to the creature, he ran his lightsaber along the creature's side killing it. Once he slid past the creature, he leaped back up to his feet and continued to run for the bridge.
He turned down another corridor and heard a woman screaming from somewhere down the corridor. It was in the direction of the bridge so he rushed down that way. He knew his goal and knew he had to reach it at all cost. The answers to all of his questions was on the bridge. He ran up to a large room over looking the Hanger Bay. He could see from the other side, Lysire holding on to one of the launch gantries for dear life. There were creatures all around her and a smaller one was even crawling up her back. As he looked around he saw that he could reach her by climbing up on to the gantries or trusting in the force to fly him there. He took a step forward to help her but a creature leaped out at him to attack him. He spun and dodged the attack once more as he killed the creature. Another sound distracted him as he heard blaster fire coming from further down the hall. He knew who ever it could be, they could help him reach his goal. He turn and ran off in the direction of the blaster fire, leaving Lysire to her own fate.
He ran down the corridor killing creatures left and right with the greatest of ease. But there were just so many of the creatures. For every one he killed another more took its place. He knew that he had to keep moving for the bridge, he had to reach his goal. He reached the sound of blaster fire and saw Valkyrie laying waste to the creatures in droves. She turned to him and smiled as he rushed up to her. He saw her mouth moving by didn't hear any words that she said. Daz knew that she was keeping them at bay and helping keeping this corridor open for him. He nodded to her and waved his hand at her, “You will remain here and continue killing them till you are out of ammo.”
Valkyrie face went blank as she replied. He couldn't hear her speaking but knew she was saying, “I will remain here and continue killing them till I am out of ammo.” Her eyes were blank as she turned and continued to fire at the creatures.
Daz looked down and saw she was already low on ammo. He knew this was a death sentence for her but his goal of reaching the bridge was more important than her life. He had to get to the bridge and find out what was going on. He simply had no other choice. His goal was before him and he had to reach it at all costs. He ran on as she continued firing at the creatures and kept them from coming up behind him. He could hear her twin blaster pistols firing as he continued to run through the smoke filled corridors. He finally reached a ladder that would take him up one level and closer to his goal. He heard a scream and Valkyrie's weapons fell silent. He lowered his head and sadness as he gave her memory a moment in his thoughts. Once that moment passed he leaped up the ladder as fast as he could.
Reaching the next level, he was helped to his feet by Talon and Zey. He smiled as he saw them and felt their friendship on his heart. He knew that under their protection he could reach the bridge. Together the three of them ran down the corridors of the mighty ship. They killed a great number of creatures as they moved toward the bridge. As they ran through the Officer's Lounge, they saw that the door they were heading for started to fill with creatures. They turned to retreat only to see that path behind them was now filling with creatures as well. In moments the battle was joined and the three fought bravely and proudly. Daz cut down a large number of creatures as he flew through the air. He landed killing a creature before him. Just as the creature was falling, he spun around and in one attack cut down both Zey and Talon in that order. The battle was finally over and he was the only being left standing in the room. Finally the smoke was starting to get to him. He started to cough as it grew thicker and thicker.
He started for the door but heard something behind him. He spun to see Mia stepping out from a wall as if she had walked right through it. She was wearing a dark cloak with the top pulled over her head. He could see her black hair in a large pony tail reaching out of the right side of her hood. She motioned her left hand to her ear as she sang, “*Long lost words whisper slowly to me.*” There was something about her appearance that caused Daz to fear. While he could not completely make out her facial characteristics, he could clearly see her left eye had some type of black tears very slowly running just below her eye. She moved closer to him with her back slightly bent forward while continuing to sing to him in Kel Dor. He took a step back from her as she moved her head side to side as if looking for something, “*Still can't find what keeps me here!*”
Daz turned and ran for the door as he could feel her behind him. More creatures attack him as he dodged and killed them. There was no doubt in his heart that he was a great Jedi Master. His mastery over the Force was his greatest power and he understood how to use it. He ran down the corridors but paused when he came up to a large dark room. He slowly walked in to the doorway and saw Angelique kneeling between two bodies. He knew all too well that those bodies were of her mother and father. He looked in to Angelique's eyes as she rose her head up to look in to his own. The tears from her eyes were as black as the night and it caused him great fear as he saw them. He knew that he had led her to aide in bringing about their deaths. Angelique lowered her head once more as she sobbed over the loss of her beloved parents. Behind her, Daz saw a creature looming over her. It was poised and ready to attack its unsuspecting prey. From down the corridor Daz heard it again.
He turned to see Mia stepping out from another wall. She slowly turned to face him just as she was before, her arms slowly bending and pulling in to her chest as she sang in Kel Dor “*When all this time I've been so hollow inside.*” He shook his head as he took a step back away from the door and back in to the corridor. He couldn't take his eyes off of Mia as she slowly moved closer to him. He screamed “LEAVE ME ALONE!” as she continued ever so smoothly gliding across the deck of the corridor, he moved further away from her as her song echoed in his mind. Another scream from Angelique told him that he had once more missed an opportunity to prevent something horrific. Once more darkness had won over his own desires to do good. Mia's right hand moved from her chest as she stretched it out towards Daz while her other hand clinched her cloak. She pointed right at his heart while she sang, “*I know you're still there.*” He turned and ran from Mia once more while screaming, “LEAVE ME ALONE!”
He ran as hard as he could trying to put as much distance between him and Mia. He slid as he turned in to an alcove where a ladder was. He didn't bother to look up as he climbed it as fast as he could. He used the force to kill another creature as he reached the landing. He didn't care that it drew on darker energies. He only wanted to get away from Mia. He looked back down the ladder to see if she was following him. It was then in that moment he noticed his hands. They were covered in blood!The shock of it caused him to rip off his cloves and toss them aside. The blood had soaked through his gloves and covered his dare hands completely. He looked at the ladder and saw it covered in the blood of millions. Taking a step back from the ladder he noticed down the smoke filled corridor that Ubaah had become lost in the smoke.
Daz's goggles allowed him to see that Ubaah was heading in the wrong direction, but he said nothing as Ubaah walked in to a large number of creatures. Daz coughed heavily as the smoke was becoming thicker and making it harder for him to breath. He didn't hear anything from Ubaah but knew that he had become lost. He turned and rushed down the corridor, the opposite direction Ubaah had went. As Daz ran, he saw Visst calling out to him and waving at him from another corridor. Daz paused for a moment to try to hear what Visst was saying. However, as he turned, he saw Mia slowly moving through the smoke. Her form took shape as she moved closer and closer to him. He didn't wait, as he turned and rushed off away from Visst and Mia. He turned a corridor to see Mia ahead of him, he slide a bit as he came to a stop and changed directions. He rushed down a new corridor that took him further away from the bridge and his goal.
He knew that he was heading away from the bridge but he knew he could find his way once he got clear of the smoke. He reached a set of stairs and started to climb them, taking them two and three at a time. He didn't think about the care he should take as he climbed higher and higher. He just knew he had to reach the next level. He reached the top deck and looked behind him, he shifted backwards as he saw Mia once more at the foot of the stairs. Her right hand was pointing at him with her two fingers spread, as if pointing in his very eyes, “*Watching me*” He shook his head as he heard her eerie song play out in his mind, “*wanting me*” She drew her arms in once more looking with pain in her eyes. He knew the bridge was just down the corridor. He moved back further as she started to climb the stairs towards him. “LEAVE ME ALONE!” he yelled at her once more while turning to flee.
He turned and ran for the bridge as fast as he could. He could see the large doors that protected it from blast damage. He knew that he had to make it to his goal, but still from behind him he could hear her calling out to him “*I can feel you pull me down.*” He didn't look back as he ran forward towards the bridge. He reached out with the force and activated the controls to open the large blast doors. He watched them open as he closed on them. He knew that she was right behind him still, he could hear her back there somewhere. “*Fearing you, loving you*” Her words continued to echo in his mind. He could feel her breath on his neck as he tried to run even harder for the large doors that led him to the bridge.
Daz ran as he watched the doors cycle and start to close. There was panic in his eyes as he tried to plan it just right. He leaped through the blast doors with just enough time before they closed. He landed on the other side of the doors and hit the deck hard. He tucked and rolled to lessen the damage from the jump. He slowly rolled and then stood up to see the bridge was completely filled with smoke. It was so hard for him to see and he was coughing and choking from the smoke. He could taste the smoke as he reached up and ripped off his goggles and breather. He tossed them to the side while he looked around the bridge. He could make out some things, but it appeared that his goal was empty. The smoke continued to fill the bridge making near impossible for him to see clearly. Something drew his attention to his hands. He could barely make them out the smoke as he gazed at them. He saw there were small little flacks drifting in to his hand. He looked closer and noticed that the flacks were of ash. He looked around and just barely through the smoke he could make out large ruined building beyond the control stations of the bridge.
He tried to walk forward but there wasn't any way for him to see through the smoke. In that moment, the lights on the bridge failed leaving the bridge completely dark. Through the smoke he saw hundreds of millions of eyes looking back at him through the smoke and ash. He could hear their whispers as they talked to themselves. He spun around and all around him were the eyes of millions looking at him in sadness. They were speaking to him but he couldn't understand what they were saying. He turned and turned while moving through the smoke hoping to find a body that belonged to the eyes. However each time he moved, the eyes moved with him just staying out of his reach. “Who are? Where is Captain Ogon!? How did you get here” Daz called out loudly. He looked around and in that moment the floor beneath him gave way and he fell. He was able to catch himself with a hand as his body dangled over the abyss. He struggled hard to get his other hand back up and hold on to something.
He looked up to see Mia above him. She was standing their at the edge of the abyss looking at him with her hand pointed once more at this heart, “*I won't let you pull me down.*” There was passion and pain in her voice as she continued to sing to him.
“Help! Mia!” he called out to her. He struggled to pull himself up but he couldn't get a strong enough grip alone. He needed her to help save him. He looked down to see black tentacles rapping around his leg and pulling on him. “MIA PLEASE!” he screamed as more tentacles started to reach around his legs and pull on him.
Mia dropped to her knees and reached out for him. Daz took hold of her small hand she continued to sing while never taking her eyes off of his, “*Hunting you, I can smell you – alive*” She tried with all her might to pull him up. The tentacles were fighting her efforts to save him. As Daz pulled on her hand, she was pulled closer to the edge of the Abyss.
Daz looked down in fear of what he knew was at the bottom of the abyss that he was now facing. He could see darkness before him as more tentacles grabbed him and held on tight to his legs. “*Your heart pounding in my head*” still her words echoed deep in his mind as he knew this was the end for him. She was just too weak to pull him up for the abyss. She failed him and now he had to face his own abyss alone.
Still she tried to pull him back from the abyss while she sang to him, “*Watching me, wanting me*”
Daz looked up at her and saw that the metal decking around her was giving way as well. She tried once more to pull him up against the tentacles. Still they held on tight to him and he knew that he was doomed. He looked down in to the abyss and accepted the fate which placed him here. He forgave her for failing him. It wasn't her fault, she was just too weak to save him. He heard her song continue, “*I can feel you pull me down*” He looked up in to her eyes and let go!
Daz fell deep in to the abyss for a life time. As he fell he saw windows falling around him. They were the windows of his life. Every action he had taken through out his life. He fell and still he heard her voice around him, “*Saving me, raping me, watching me*” He fell through the abyss and landed on his feet at the bottom. He turned around slowly to see that he was standing right before his own self. This dark creature was just like him, however it wasn't him. The soul of this Daz was evil and dark to the core. Daz activated his lightsaber only to have it ripped from him. The dark Daz moved forward and swung at him. Daz dodged it easily and landed his own attacks on the dark Daz. The dark Daz spun at the attacks and landed a side kick in to Daz's side and sending him flying.
Daz rolled up to his knees and saw Mia standing between them. In her arms she carried the SWORD! dark Daz smiled as he saw it, “The Sword must be mine!” he said and lunged at her. Daz leaped up at the dark creature and caught him in a spear tackle. Both Daz's rolled on the ground as Mia continued to sing, “*Watching me, wanting me*” Daz fought hard against himself as the dark Daz fought to get the sword from Mia. Nothing Daz could do was able to stop his darker side from reaching the sword and in that moment he knew it. Temptation was simply too great for him to fight against it, “*I can feel you pull me down*”
“Give me the SWORD Mia!” dark Daz demanded as she took a step away from him.
She still sang out in Kel Dor, “*Fearing you... loving you*” She continued to move only steps away from both Daz's as they fought.
Daz yelled out, “Get out of here, Mia!” he waved his free hand away then grabbed the dark Daz once more. He knew that he was losing this battle over temptation. There was nothing he could do to stop his temptation to possess the sword.
As Daz lost the battle with temptation, she moved a bit further while taking the sword by the hilt and lifting it above her head with the tip pointed at the ground. Still she sang, “*I won't let you pull me DOWN*” and in that moment She closed her eyes and Daz could see those black tears from her left eye. She drove the sword in to the ground of the abyss. She drove it will all her might and it slid deeply in to the abyss, a energy wave leaped out from that point sending a ripple across the galaxies.
Daz leaped up from his pillow in a state of shock, breathing hard and reaching for his chest. He took a moment and closed his eyes. His heart was pounding in his head as he tried to clear his thoughts. He slowly opened his eyes to see his room was back to normal. He took a deep breath once more as he turned and dropped his feet over the side of the bed. Checking the clock on his desk, he saw that it was still very early in the morning. He noted that his breather mask and goggles laid on the desk next to the clock. He sighed very deeply once more, the vision was more intense this time than it had been before. Much more intense than then the other nights. He had been having the same vision now for the past four nights. At first he had dismissed it as a mere nightmare. However the second and third nights, he knew it was a force vision but it was all to vague from him to even remember details of the dream. It was a warning of some kind and at the same time something else. He needed to meditate on it with hope that he would learn what the Force is trying to tell him.
He got up from his bed and walked over to the corner where a number of large tanks set. It was Oktra and Carissa that together came up with an answer to his request about creating a Kel Dor Friendly room. It took Oktra nearly two days of welding and working nearly around the clock to completely seal the room. She then took his door and replaced it with an airlock door. That took her another day of work, but she got it done. By the end of the third day, Oktra had completed her task and Daz had a room that he could fill with Dorin gas and feel a bit more at home. As a safety measure, Oktra set up a sensor to alert Daz if the level of Dorin reached a dangerous levels. For him to turn off the sensor, he had to enter his own personal code.
Also, another safety was added by her, so that only he could activate the pumps which would pump out the normal atmosphere of the room. Once there was a complete vacuum, and a sensor detected the vacuum, it started to fill the room with Dorin to the normal levels to allow Daz to breath normally and allowed him to be able to take off his breather. Daz was pretty impressed with the system and the safeties that Oktra put in to it. From start to finish, she worked sixty hours on the three day project. He looked at the controls on the system that Oktra had built and smiled to see that it was functioning normally. “I need to thank her later for this” he said as he sighed looking around the room.
*********************************************
Captain's Log 01-0003
Deep within wild space
ISA Ka-riss-ah
“Captain's log 01-0003, This week started out on such a high note, but turned south pretty fast and hard. At the beginning of the week, I was able to sit down with Captain Brea Heartman and Lieutenant Commander Furey. I explained to them about the situation with Oktra and her desires to carry a fire arm. I took the time to listen to both of them as they explained the Law and the reason behind it. I have to admit, they have sound reasons behind this it. However, I did manage to win both their support for allowing Oktra to carry her blaster pistol. However, she will have to wear an ISA uniform and start to show some military discipline. They both agree that these two things would go a long way in showing her loyalty to Azgard ways. I already talked to Oktra about the offer, she didn't like it (AT ALL) but she is willing to give it a try for the sake of unity. Walking around the ship and seeing the ISA uniform spreading really seems to bring the crew together. Normal Azgard Uniforms tend to differ slightly between houses. I like the idea that we are becoming one crew, one ship. Ubaah showed me his, and it does look sharp. It is important that the crew feels uniformed, it was something that Brea and I were talking about. For a large scary woman, she is pretty insightful regarding military matters.
“I had a private conversation with Shalla about Angelique becoming a pilot. I needed to know the best way to get Brea Heartman's help in this matter. She gave me an idea and I acted on it. I asked Brea Heartman for lunch and we talked about this bad blood between the Heartman and Mercer Houses. She gave me all the dirty details of this sad state of affairs that was over three centuries old. I asked her if I could trust a Mercer in battle. She answered with no, I couldn't. That they are cowards and would run at the first opportunity. I asked her what I should do. She suggested a number of possible solutions. One such solution was having someone more loyal make sure that he wouldn't run in battle. We both smiled as she realized that I had cornered her. Her words were lovely, 'Your arms might be weak Captain Ogon, yet you will make a fine commander.' Shalla later told me that this was a high complement. Angelique Heartman is now part of CAG Mercer's fighter group.
“In my dealings with Brea Heartman, I found her to be surprisingly understandable to the fact that this is a mixed crew. Though she is extremely hardheaded, she also has the wisdom to know when to yield. I plan to have more luncheons with her in the future. Lieutenant Commander Furey has also become a good source of information about Azgard laws and customs. Though lately he and Oktra have been running the crew raged with drills. Furey has stepped forward to be Oktra's military mentor. I think he was the only one that she respects enough to listen and learn from. So now the bad news, the following events were very painful for me.
“It was brought to my attention a little bit more than three days ago, that Mia was suffering from mild seizures during the night. Carissa notified Spoony and myself as soon as she detected something wrong with Mia. It was hard for us to understand that Mia had suffered from the seizure when we arrived. Mia claimed not remembering anything that had happened and Spoony couldn't find any evidence of it when he examined her. Carissa recorded the event and Spoony was sure it was a seizure, however because it was a mild one he figured that it was probably due to stress. Beyond that he had no other ideas. For the rest of that day, he watched her closely and tested her for everything he could think of. He couldn't understand what was going on with the young girl.
“The second attack came nearly at the same time of the night as the first one had. This time, Carissa was ready for the attack. She recorded Mia's brain wave activity during the attack and Spoony was just in the next room when it occurred. They were able to identify strange brain wave activity. However the attack happened so fast and was over before they were able to complete their observations. What Spoony was able to reach a conclusion on was that Mia's seizures were not linked to any defect that she may have had. Nor was it part of a reaction to stress. This was something completely different than anything else he had dealt with in the past.
“The third attack came once more near to the same time of night as the first two. However, this time it was much more violent and Carissa signaled a medical emergency which filled Mia's room with a number of medical personal. Mia's seizure lasted nearly three times as long as the first two combined and her body had to be physical restrained by medical personal. Her mouth started to foam and there was a point when I saw in Spoony's eyes, that we might loss her. The seizure seemed to last forever then as rapidly as it hit, it was over. To our shock and relief once the seizure was over, she was fine. Everyone was dumbfounded by what was happening.
“Spoony, Carissa and I reviewed the recordings of the attack and Carissa's recording of Mia's brain waves. What we saw was something amazing. The seizure was caused by Mia's brain waves leaping from their normal state to, well something else. Spoony had dealt with seizures before but he never seen anything like this. He explained to me that seizures were caused by misfiring of neural signals. Mia's were not misfiring at all. There was almost some kind of pattern to them. Also, the scope of the changes in activity would suggest that she was in a deep sleep during the seizure. Almost as if she was dreaming of something while the seizure was taking place. I talked to her after the last seizure about what happened. She claimed she didn't have any memory of the attack. Seeing how each of the three attacks happened while she was sleeping, that was understandable. But what happened that morning left us with more questions than answers.
“During breakfast, Daz dropped a major bomb shell on everyone. He said that for the past few nights, he had been receiving Force Visions. He took his time to explain them in great detail and I couldn't help but find this more than just a chance. I asked him the times that he had the visions. The times he gave for his visions, matched the times that Mia had suffered from her seizures. Somehow, Mia's seizures and Daz's visions were linked. He told us, that in his last vision she played a critical part. The only problem we saw was that Daz had four vision and Mia only had three seizures. It was Visst that came up with a theory on that. Judging by the intensity of the last one and the two before that, Mia might have had a seizure but it was much less intense. It could have gone unnoticed. I don't think Carissa liked Visst's suggestion but she remained silent during the meeting.
“This morning we exited out of hyperspace right where Daz said we would be. I am really proud of the little guy. As we approached Visst had suggested that we exit hyperspace a ways away from the world and use our normal engines to get us closer. We positioned ourselves between the world and the sun. I know that this was risky but I don't think that they would be able to spot us. Their technology appeared to be so much lower than our own. I had Carissa run as many scans of the planet as possible. I wanted to find this temple that Daz saw. Also I had Mercer and his group get a bit closer to the world and see what they could find out. They had some level of very basic space travel from what Mercer's group saw. They also detected a large number of weapon platforms in orbit. All of them armed with Nuclear Weapons. There were also a number of satellites and a couple of space stations. This gave us the ability to place their technology level as leaving the age of Oil and entering the age of silicon.
“Once we had a nice image of the world and were able to identify the region where Daz's temple was, I ordered Carissa to take up station on the dark side of the moon. From what we found out, there were nearly a fifty possible locations that could be Daz's temple. The only problem is, they are located in a region of the world which is nearly a thousand kilometers area. More importantly, the two largest alliances both have laid claim on the region and it was heavily patrolled by both factions. Though either side has deployed troops in to this extremely mountainous region, we were able to identify millions of troops poised to attack each other. Local fighter coverage will make landing dangerous and from what Carissa has been able to intercept, the world is close to a global nuclear war. Every part of my being is demanding that we prevent this war. I truly believe that this state of war is directly linked to the sword.
“Once behind the moon, we found a Jedi Fighter in geostationary orbit on the dark side of the moon. It was hooked up to its hyperspace ring. We were able to retrieve the fighter and ring and bring it aboard Carissa. Angelique has become quite the pilot thanks to her training with Commander Mercer. I am glad that she is where she is now. It is clear to me this was the right choice. Once we got the fighter aboard, the R3 unit activated and asked to speak to a member of the Jedi Council. As if it was waiting for a member of the council to show up. It was Daz who went to speak to it. I am not sure what Daz told it, but it helped us better understand what was going on. This Jedi starfighter and droid belonged to Jedi Master Mar, and she had flown it here without the use of the Navigation Computer or her droid. The droid informed us that it was given orders by Jedi Master Mar, that once he dropped her off on the planet that it was to take the fighter to its current location and wait for a Member of the Jedi Council to arrive. It told us that that was nearly thirty years ago.
“From what we can tell, Mar erased all data regarding her trip out here. Or why she choose this planet. She actually did a very thorough job as whipping the information. We tried to recover something, but there was simply nothing to recover. She only left one piece of information. She left the landing coordinates where she said that she would be waiting. She warned that the situation on the world was very dangerous and that who ever follows should use caution. Her parting words were, 'I shall light the way, trust in the force and follow me.'
“I don't know if it was part of her plans or not. But the droid informed us, that Jedi Master Mar was seen being surrounded by hostile troops as the droid piloted the fighter back in to the air and vanished in to the night's sky. For all we know, she could have ended up as some science project. No, I can't believe that. We didn't come all this way to find out she had died in captivity. There are still a number of issues that we have to address before we can follow Jedi Master Mar. The fact that there are no non-humans on the world. Also they are completely ignorant to space travel. Carissa has picked up a number of radio telescopes searching the space around them. I don't know who should go or who should remain behind. We can not simply search all fifty possible locations. That would take too much time. We need something else to help pinpoint where we have to go. Also we can't trigger a nuclear war down there.
“*Sighs* Captain Ogon, out...”
