Lady Loran smiled as Ava put her comlink away. "Good, Lady Forma," her tone shifting back to that of formality. "Now, let me show you why we are really here."

She motioned for the younger noble to follow, "your boy toy can follow. But make sure he understands, that this is just for the ladies."

She led Ava from the dinning room and out in to the night cover garden. In the distance, lights of red, blue and white fill the horizon. "I wonder if they finally cornered the monster Thel-Tanis," she wondered aloud.

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava rose and lean down whispering silently and softly into his ear. " i need you to do me a favor and keep silent from here on out. However if you need to tell me something, just whisper it into my ear please. " being polite. She hated the way Lady Loran viewed men. She wondered if somewhere in Loran's past if something had happened.

As she pulled away from durro and looked at Lady Loran " he understands clearly. " as she offer her arm to durro to take once he taken her arm. She started to follow Lady Loran out into the cover garden. " I do wonder as well, it would be nice to be able to rest peaceful knowing that monster is dealt with once and for all. No longer hearing the name Thel-Tanis mutter though out the planet. "

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Lady Loran nodded, "Thel-Tanis, himself, isn't the problem. He is nothing more than the most recent symptom of a much larger problem."

She paused and pointed to a flight of Jedi Assault Shuttles and transports swooping in to join the capture. Lady Loran just shook her head.

"That is the problem," she said pointing. Her voice took a sarcastic tone, "there they go, to the rescue. Because us mere mortals can't possibly protect ourselves from the big dark monsters."

She turned to Ava, "so Durro Thel-Tanis was at Richie," she mockingly declared. "Do you know why I haven't leveled my entire resources to bringing him to an end?"

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava listened and nodded her head understanding. As she watched flight of Jedi shuttles and transports. Seeing the area they were heading too there was a heavy weight on her chest. She hoped Kaleb and Reine got out of there. Wondering if Tesara understood the message. She couldn't help feel maybe she should been more detailed like tipping her off about the news Loran had told her. ' it was clear.... ' feeling slightly conflicted in her feelings. Hoping no harm came to Reine but also hoped that girl self centered bubble would pop and come onto reality at the same time.

" I believe that is where I was staying at temporarily. " as she took an moment to think about Lady Lorans question and shook her head " no i don't, why haven't you? "

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Lady Loran glanced over at her, "well its a good thing I have decided to keep you here," she said with a laugh.

"And as for Thel-Tanis, I didn't pursue him because not all actions are worthy of my full effort." She motioned to the growing light show, "something they will never understand."

She glanced over, "not too long ago, SunCo, like all good Corporations were in league with the Jedi. What a waste of resources and public relation currency."

She gave a slight laugh, "it was one of the first things I changed once I took over."

She motioned her to follow, "and I will show you why," she added.

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava listened to Loran as she spoken seeing the light show going on in the distance. " definitely looks like they are doing more harm than good. Though I unable to see fully see whats going on but it looks a tad to much just to capture one person if you ask me. I could done it with one person without causing such a scene. " as she followed along. Wanting to see what Lady Loran wanted to show her.

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Lady Loran nodded, "and this is the failure of the Jedi. More harm than good."

She walked on, "growing up, I mentored under a brilliant Muun named Hego Damask." She laughed with a sense of irony, "my father felt it would better tame me if I were to be taken down a step or two."

"Even by my late teen years, my thirst for power and wealth had driven me in to rivalries with my own family."

"My mentor, Magister Damask, taught me to hone these thirsts and focus them," she explained. She glanced over, "I don't think enough young people have access to what they need to truly excel."

She face twisted in anger. "Then again, there are my own sons. I love them to death, but they lack that instinct to go for the death blow nor are they willing to bid their time and way for that moment."

She shook her head again, "they will be terrible when it comes to them taking over when I leave my post."

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava listened to Lady Loran as she told her about her history. Seemed her father was apart of the reason if he pushed her back into her place. " ah yes, I agree this is why I don't desire any of mine own. I don't want to be disappointed when it comes time for them to measure up. " she honestly had no interest in having children.

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
She laughed, "oh it would appear that new wine is a bit stronger than I expected."

"Come," she took Ava by the hand. "When I found out that that fool was going to break this land up and auction it to the highest bidder. I promised SunCo's support in return for the entire property," she explained.

Leaning in closer, "and I got one heck of a bargin." She laughed. She paused and turned to Ava. "Watch this," she said with a wink and a grin.

"I desire more wine," she spoke just loud enough to be over normal speaking tones. "Now count to twenty," she encouraged.

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava raised a brow curiositly and started to count to twenty. " one, two, three.... " looking around careful expecting a servant or someone to come dashing in counting away. " eight, nine, ten. " wondering how exactly Loran was going get her wine. As she looked around very carefully where they were as she continued to count. . " fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen...nineteen....twenty. " as she finished counting. She had heard huffing and puffing and spotted a servant running with a tray. Doing thire ernest to make sure that glass of wine remained on the tray. Composing themselves as the servant reached Lady Loran when she had reached to twenty.

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Lady Loran smiled broadly as she took the glass, "I am in a great mood, so I will pardon your tardiness." The servant didn't say anything, he only bowed with respect. She took a sip of the wine, "Its from this wonderful little world in the MidRim," she said waving the glass before her and Ava. She turned to the Servant, "Go back and fetch two more bottles, and be ready for them. She turned back to Ava with a mischievous smile, "We are going to the Founder's Crypt."

The man bowed again and rushed off with his tray. "Oh Lady Forma, dare we woman of power to ever let our hair down to laugh, sing in the night and fill our glasses with wine from across the Galaxy." She rose her glass to the light show in the distance, "Venture onward ye brave Jedi and lay the beast!" she yelled up to the sky.

She turned in shock and horror, "Oh let the Force forgive my state!" she said bringing her fingers to her lips. "Would you care for a glass," she asked. She giggled, "I almost forgot. My Father used to demand it of me," she curtsy slightly. "Oh he loved watching his little girls run around in our dress curtsying to this noble or that noble. All the while," she moved her glass widely, "the boys were learning business and corporate tactics." She grinned, "but I would hide in the back and take my notes. Then, when the time was right, I blackmailed my father in to letting me attend a proper business school and later the mentor I told you about."

She walked over to Ava and rested her arm over Ava's shoulder, "would you care for more wine," she said trying to hold back the laughter in her voice.

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
" no am quite fine Lady Loran, perhaps I may have a glass later. You know you know my first name yet I have failed to learned yours. Perhaps in time once I can show you I am a worthy friend to have. " she softly spoke. As she let Loran rested her arm against her. A long time ago was a Moff, I followed in his path and was treated.... well I suppose. Very one was watching me to see if I would rise or fail since I was in my fathers shadow for the longest time. Than I finally found my way out from that shadow and made my family proud. " she softly spoke

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
She smiled as she led Ava down the dark path towards the tall tower at the center of the vast garden, "my first name is Mon," she said with a sad tone in her voice. "Nothing fancy, nothing special, just Mon...." She laughed, "it almost sounds like a day of the week." She let go and moved to the side, "Greetings," she said curtsying once more, "I am Lady Day of the Week Loran!" she laughed loudly.

She moved closer once more and held up her glass with an out screeched finger, "I hate it. When I came in to my own, I demanded to be called Lady Loran. Its more dignified, more elegant."

She frowned, "you should never let anyone cast you in to their shadows. Be bold, be proud, and be yourself," she said the last part as she squared her shoulders.

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
" Mon sounds like an interesting name. " than recalled something at the dinner table at the resort. " though at the resort I recall you being called by Lady Sia Loran. Is that you change it to Sai? Cause sounded like the lady of the week and hated it so much? " as give a curious look.

" oh trust me lady Loran, I am in no ones shadows anymore. " she raise her head proudly

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
She smiled, "I had my official name changed in the Republic DataBase to Sai. And it does sound so much better than Mon....." she trailed off as they approached the base of the tower. Six guards stand ever present near the door. As she walked up to the door, "good, cause what I am about to show you is not for those too weak to escape someone else's shadow."

She motioned the guards a side, "this is truly the greatest treasure of this palace, and that fool let it slip through his fingers," she mocked as she walked through the golden doors that were opened for her.

Before them frozen in some kind of pod, a large bearded man in Jedi Robes laid. His eyes closed and his hands cross his chest. The wall decorated with images and artifacts of his life.

"Lady Forma, I would like to introduce you to, Lord Baklid," she said taking a drink from her wine glass. "One of the Founding Fathers," she sneered, "of the modern Jedi Order." Her tone filled with disdain.

At his feet, two black obelisk stood, with the word Duty inscribed in white on one and Sacrifice inscribed on the other. At his left mid body, another obelisk with Compassion and across from it, one that had Honor. At the head, stood a white obelisk with the word Justice in gold.

Durro Skywalker — 06/01/2021
Durro lets out a (not very) exaggerated soft whistle of admiration. With a glance from Lady Loran to Ava, he says nothing; simply studies the room for anything he might recognize and subtlety reaches out with the Force, to see if there is anything for a Jedi (and a Jedi alone) to find.
(OOC: Do I need to roll for anything?)

Ava Forma — 06/01/2021
Ava looked at the frozen large bearded man in Jedi Rodes. As she studied the man closely. Trying to see if she could place him in one of her fathers stories he told her. She looked in awe at it and looked down studying the obelisk and thire words. " its beautiful, a priceless gem indeed. " hearing the whistle from durro next to her. Hoping Loran was still in her cherry mood to let it slide.

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Reaching out to the force, Durro can feel the age of these artifacts. All of them dating back nearly a thousand years. Personal Holocrons, Jedi Battlearmor that still held the marks of many patches. War trophies line the north wall. As well as images from the many battles this Jedi General had led.

Most striking is the Lightsaber staff in the Pod with the Jedi General's body. Tucked neatly beside the man who once carried it.

The space between the Obelisk and the pod allowed for ease of movement around the pod and between the obelisks.
( @Durro Skywalker No roll needed, I gave you the results as listed above. If you need more details on a single item just ask)

Durro Skywalker — 06/01/2021
Durro studies any glyphs, writing, or carvings on both the pod and each of the obelisks in turn. To Loran, he should appear a gawking tourist, perhaps a slack-jawed Jedi fanboy. He is looking for anything put here for the Jedi, intended to be missed by commoners and tourists.

TheTraveler — 06/01/2021
Lady Loran walked around the pod as her fingers glided over the pod. Strangely enough, she never once touched the pod. In her state, she makes no effort to hide her intention not to touch the pod. "Oh it is a rare gem indeed and one that proves that the Jedi nor their founding fathers are gods," she said with anger in her voice. "All that time," she mumbled.

Then turned back to Ava, "I will allow everyone to walk through this room and gaze upon the man in the bottle. Let them see him as he was. Old, frail and broken!"

For Durro, the Obelisk do contain glyphs seen only through the force. Written in a language that Durro had never seen before, though it did bring back feelings. Each of the Obelisk contained this writing on the back side, facing away from the pod.

She walked over to the artifacts on a nearby shelf, "I want the entire galaxy to see the Jedi for who they are."

Durro Skywalker — 06/01/2021
Durro does his best, using his Force-enhanced senses, to commit the obelisks and their glyphs to memory. Perhaps he can find the answer another time. He continues to play the part of Ava's "boy toy" for Lady Loran's benefit. He returns to her side and takes her arm, saying nothing.
