RE: In character game chat
Durro Skywalker — 02/02/2021
Meanwhile, in another part of the shelter, Durro finds Tesara Anerin meditating and getting ready for sleep.
"Tesara, may I have a moment?"
Once he knows Tesara is paying attention.
"I have a mission for you, of sorts."
He pauses a moment.
"In a moment of self-confidence, I attempted to construct my lightsaber. I failed. While meditating afterward, I saw a vision of my old master; the one who left me stranded on Lanus. It was an enlightening conversation, and I know now what I must do. It starts with rebuilding my lightsaber. As that will take time, I am sending you with the Desert Tribe to find the place where (whatever that dark spirit's name is, I was not able to take notes last session) was imprisoned. Investigate it thoroughly and report back to me what you find. The Tribe can take you and the others, leave me the speeder. Do you understand?"
Once Tesara acknowledges.
"Good. One more thing, be open to the guidance of the Force. Our Kyber crystals are not of this universe; they are relics of our past lives, which are now behind us. A crystal here may choose you, may sing to you. If it does, take it. Most Jedi are only chosen by a single crystal, it is a rare gift to be chosen by multiple crystals."
He pauses thoughtfully before continuing.
"Do you have any questions about the coming few weeks?"
Kaleb Wren — 02/02/2021
"That's good at least." he said to her. "Normally I would have gotten to that a lot sooner, but I don't think we should take our eyes off them." he told @Ava Forma .
Tesara Anerin — 02/02/2021
Tesara listens to Durro inform her of his plans. She agrees easily. The trust he has put in her makes her proud but she knows it’s a big responsibility. “Yes, master.” She bows respectfully. “I will make you proud and protect them.”
Durro Skywalker — 02/02/2021
Durro nods
"No questions? Very good, I'm sure you'll all have a lot to tell me when you return. I'll inform the Lanusians and then retire for the night. May the Force be with you, Tesara."
Tesara Anerin — 02/02/2021
“And you as well. And good luck.” She squeezes his hand with a smile. “I know it’ll be challenging but I know you will succeed.”
Durro Skywalker — 02/02/2021
Durro smiles and heads into the main room.
Ava Forma — 02/04/2021
During the three weeks ava would had idol conversations with nova in sign language. ( couldn't say anything at the time cause David was around me)
Nova — 02/04/2021
Every night, Nova stays up to keep watch, when sunrises, Nova sleeps.
Durro Skywalker — 02/04/2021
Durro sits in meditation, the disassembled parts of his lightsaber levitating in the air around him. All is quiet and still, until he speaks softly.
"The crystal is the heart of the blade."
A blue Kyber crystal levitates before his closed eyes, becoming encased in two of the floating parts.
"The heart is the crystal of the Jedi."
More parts are added, forming the core of the lightsaber.
"The Jedi is the crystal of the Force."
The outer plating snaps into place; the weapon is complete. But does it work?
"The Force is the blade of the heart. All are intertwined: The crystal,The blade,The Jedi."
The lightsaber gently hovers before Durro's face. He reaches out and takes it, and opens his eyes. He stands, and activates the deep blue blade.
"You are one."
Durro cannot contain the grin that crosses his face.
"Durro Thel-Tanis: Jedi Knight."
Nova — 02/04/2021
Nova signs to Ava. 'I bet the Queen wished to repay him for the effort he put into cleaning up the Cathedral.'
Ava Forma — 02/04/2021
Ava signs back ' probably, i think the queen definitely likes durro if she traveled all the way here. '
Nova — 02/04/2021
signs back "We will find out later I suppose."
Nova — 02/08/2021
After doing a huge research session that took over a day and a half, Nova gathered all her information onto her data pad and then rushed to find Durro. "Durro, we might have a problem. I think I have a plan around it but I want your input about it."
Durro Skywalker — 02/08/2021
Nova finds Durro and Tesara meditating and levitating objects in the cargo hold. Durro gently lets his objects come to rest on the deck while Tesara continues her exercises, unmoving. Durro rises and steps to the side with Nova.
"What did you find?"
Tesara Anerin — 02/08/2021
Tesara hears movement and voices but quiets the part of herself that is curious for knowledge. This is why she is a Jedi padawan - to learn control and focus when there are disruptions. With effort, she keeps the objects suspended, knowing that Durro will fill her in later.
Nova — 02/08/2021
"I managed to look into Ossus and what has become of it. But that is where the problem comes from." Opening her data pad to make sure she had her facts correct and straight. "Ossus was never reclaimed by the Jedi, though the Republic had rediscovered it 20 years ago. However by then a Pirate Haven had taken over the planet. The Republic tried to reclaim it a couple of times with failures. Which caused the Republic to place an official travel advisory that no travel is permitted." She then glanced at him before continuing. "I know the pirates that is currently in control of the Haven. The group is called Ravagers, and their leader is named Vala Mal Doran, a half-blood Mandalorian. Their exploits have been on the news about two decades ago for their brutality and villainesses ways. Doran commands about 20 ships ranging between armored freighters, snub fighters, and a few old scavenged warships of various sizes."
Durro Skywalker — 02/08/2021
Durro looks thoughtfully at Nova and glances back at Tesara.
"I knew in our universe the Jedi never reclaimed Ossus, but when my vision told me to go there I was hoping it was because this universe was different. It's too late to turn back, but we will be extra cautious. Thank you Nova, you were wise to look into this."
There is a brief pause before Durro continues, musing more to himself than to Nova.
"Perhaps Kaleb can give us some advice about dealing with the Mandalorians."
Nova — 02/08/2021
Nova gave a nod before continuing. "Outside of the Ravagers, there is 10 or more different fleets that operate out of there. One of them was a person who was a notorious slaver. This slaver mostly raided Core worlds and kidnapped people. After he kidnapped two girls of a powerful core family, that family was able to mobilize the Jedi against him and killed him, though the girls were never found." She then closed her data pad before looking at Durro. "My plan is to have us try to alter our plan slightly, maybe leave our current route enough distance away so that we can scout what is going on at Ossus. My data might be dated some so we will have to be on high alert once we arrive either way. I was going to inform Ryan of my plan if you agree that it is wise, and have you talk with Kaleb about my plan and maybe how to handle the Mandalorians too."
Durro Skywalker — 02/08/2021
Durro nods
"Prudent suggestions. Go ahead and talk to Ryan; I'll talk to Kaleb."
Nova — 02/08/2021
"Very well. Apologise for interrupting your training." She then turns and heads to where Ryan was to inform him of the plan and to be on high alert.
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
Durro climbs over into the ARC-X175, looking for Kaleb.
"Kaleb? I'd like a word, if you have a moment."
Kaleb Wren — 02/10/2021
Kaleb was just sitting back running checks through the infonet on a few of the glyphs he had found in the scroll. He turned around as he heard his name. "Sure Durro. What can I do for you?" he asked the older man.
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
Durro comes to stand behind him before speaking.
"I'll get right to the point. Nova has researched our destination and found that Ossus has been the location of a busy pirate haven for roughly twenty years. The current Alpha Pirate seems to be a half-blood Mandalorian named Vala Mal Doran. He commands roughly twenty ships ranging in size from small military vessels to reclaimed snub fighters. I thought your knowledge of Mandalorian culture might come in handy for getting us around or past them."
"For example; a half-Mandalorian? As far as I understood it, anybody could be a Mandalorian, if they so chose and were accepted. How does one become a half-Mandalorian?"
Kaleb Wren — 02/10/2021
"You confusing genetics from way of life. By saying half Mandalorian, they're obviously referring to his genetics. However anyone can devote themselves to the Mandalorian Way." he told @Durro Skywalker .
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
Durro shrugs
"I was unaware there was 'Mandalorian' genetics. Considering anyone can pledge themselves."
He shakes his head.
"That's besides the point. We're going to be dealing with Mandalorian pirates; do you have any advice for how to proceed?"
Kaleb Wren — 02/10/2021
"Since this isn't the Mandalorians that I'm familiar with..." Kaleb shook his head. "I'm not sure. From what I've studied, it seems most of the race and the culture have been wiped out. These pirates could even be usurpers to the name. Until we come into contact with them and I can see how they act and react, I'm not going to know for sure."
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
"From my own studies I can assure you that you're people are resilient. There are still clans out there, hoping to restore Mandalore to their former glory."
Kaleb Wren — 02/10/2021
Kaleb nodded as he took in what the Jedi told him. It was hard to believe that his initial quest was to follow this man and his pupil and inform his own mentor of their locations so they could claim their reward. But now that they were in this world that bounty no longer existed. It was something that the 16 year old was still dealing with.
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
"I know we're not in our own universe, but some potentially flawed information is better than none at all. If we were back home, how should we proceed?"
Kaleb Wren — 02/10/2021
"Carefully." he told Durro. "Also don't let them know you are a Jedi. If they are true Mandalorians they may not take that to well. Some may have taken the Chon-kar." Before the Jedi had a chance to ask Kaleb told him what the word meant. "For us that is a blood oath, that all members of the clan are sworn to see through. Others might just want to test themselves against you since no other warriors in history have been know to be able to beat us in far combat."
Durro Skywalker — 02/10/2021
Durro looks thoughtful.
"A fair point. Hopefully we will not gain too much attention. Any advice on a 'cover story' if we are approached?"
