" no I there are other ways to get thrown, I will not abandon him I won't" she said tear in her eyes.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ashanti's eyes narrowed, "you know what I say is true. I saved you on Raxus Prime, and I saved you on the ship, and now I can save Quinn." Her hatred glowing her eyes, "but you don't love him enough to do what you have to. You are weak, pathetic. Quinn's father was right about you, you don't deserve him!"

(give me a second please I will tell you each what you both heard)
Ashanti's twisted lips curled in to a sinister grin. "You never deserved Quinn, and you never deserved Sol. You refused to save Sol and now you will let Quinn die. Because you are a coward!"
((OOC: @Tesara Anerin you hear what you first suspected were two separate voices holding a passionate low tone conversation. After your next post, you will realize that its only Astra's voice you hear.
@Durro Thel-Tanis you hear Astra's voice in all the dialog posts. Though the two voices hold different pitches and tone (same vocal cords). ))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
Astra screams she isgnights the lightsaber her master let her barrow and started to try cuting into the wall. " I am not week. I will save him" she yelled as tears streaked her face.

(OOC: @Durro Thel-Tanis @Tesara Anerin you guys are free game to post)
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara is so confused. "Who else is there with her?"
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
"Only her friends." Durro says. "Go, we should try to help her."
@Tesara Anerin
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara's eyes go wide when she realizes what that means, and she bolts the rest of the way up the stairs. "Astra?!"
@Durro Thel-Tanis @(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
Astra blinks confused at the sound of Tesara's voice. " Tesara Quinn is in danger" she burst into tears dropping the lightsaber. " I won't abandon him I can im not weak," She said starting at Tesara.
@Tesara Anerin @Durro Thel-Tanis
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Shocked, Tesara quickly sets the injector on a flat surface and runs over to her friend, pulling her into a hug. "Astra it's okay...it's okay...just breathe...whatever is happening, I'm right here. You're not weak."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
Durro looks around the room, trying to ascertain the target of Astra's lightsaber.
"Astra, what were you trying to do?" He asks.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
" Quinn's message it's there" She said pointing at the wall. She took several deep breaths. " Ashanti she called me week. It was my falt Sol is dead. It's my falt im to week they never should have loved me. It's my falt sol's gone and im not strong enough to save Quinn" she whispered.

Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara pulls away and looks directly at Astra. "What a bunch of crap." She says calmly but evenly. "You're not going to actually listen to that drivel, are you?" She said with a little smile.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
" But she is right" Astra muttered between sobs. " I need to find Quinns message the Lightsabers I think there his I think I heard them because he was calling for help" she muttered.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
"Astra, please look at me." She says calmly.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
Astra blinks and looks at Tesara. Tries to wipe the tears away.
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara hugs her again. "You're giving those words power by listening to them. Astra, you don't have to do everything alone. If you need help saving Quinn, we'll do it together. Whatever Ashanti is saying, stop listening. She can hurt you because you listen. She could take over because you might let her. Imagine her....I don't know, as a little mouse, squeaking angrily. Does the mouse have the power over a Jedi? NO. She doesn't. Now. What are you talking about with Quinn's message?" She asks gently. "Stop focusing on Ashanti and focus on telling me what you need help with."
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
Astra takes a deep breath she smiled at the thought of a sith mouse. " I believe I heard the crystals in the lightsabers because they are Quinn's we need to get to them they may be a clue as to where he is. There there in the wall" Astra said pointing again to the spot she had cut into.
@Tesara Anerin
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan runs in to the Jupiter One with Mishka right behind him. His long legs reaching out as far as he can stretch. "Stop destroying my ship," Ryan yelled.
Through the slashes that Astra made, the soft white glow of a Ray-Shield and what appears to be another box like item under the safe. The slashes are spaced out enough to see the armored box but not what is inside it or give access to them.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
(((can we have that happening while Tesara comforts Astra?)))
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
(((there in the wall Durro can see them))
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
((OOC: Refer to my description of the slashes on the wall. Further lightsaber strikes will free the armored box from both the wall and the Ray-Shield))

@Durro Thel-Tanis
Mishka Winlat — 11/23/2021
Mishka flinched at Ryan’s yell, her ears sensitive to such sounds. “Yelling won’t fix anything…” She murmured in a whisper with concern on her face.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan ran across the main deck of the Jupiter One as he heard Mishka's statement. In a move that surprised even his own sense of self, he skidded to a halt as he spun around to face Mishka.
The move was quick and sudden but Mishka was able to stop before slamming to him.
Looking her to her eyes with sorrow, "I am so sorry...." He reached up and kissed her ears hoping that it would make it better.
He turned to start running once more, but didn't yell. The ladder came in to sight.
Mishka Winlat — 11/23/2021
Mishka did her best to keep up as he ran. Being so short obviously had its disadvantages and she even stumbled a few times to keep up with Ryan. "It's okay," She said, slightly out of breath.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
((Tesara rolls listen for 26, she hears Ryan yelling and Mishka responding.))
Tesara turns to Astra, knowing Durro is going to do something but not sure what yet. "Ryan is here and he's upset. Just...take a deep breath, ok?" She warns her and takes her hand tightly. Whatever is about to happen, she will take responsibility if needs be.
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
@Durro Thel-Tanis

Astra nodded and stairs at Tesara.

((Pausing Tesara & Astra until Durro has a chance to respond and Ryan arrive)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
(((OK, due to phone limitations, I did not see the post before mine appear. It was already hidden by my text. Durro would NOT have reached out with the Force if he could see the box and shield.)))
As Tesara kneels to comfort Astra, Durro assesses the damage Astra had done. He shakes his head at the animalistic slashes; the frustration of the clumsy effort still echoing in the Force. Summoning the discarded lightsaber to his hand, Durro makes two precise cuts; minimal damage. He uses the Force to pull aside the freed wall panel, and again to levitate the case from behind the wall.
As he kneels to open it, he hears Ryan's voice from down below.
"Stop destroying my ship!"
Knowing he has moments, Durro attempts to open the case while 'scanning' it with the Force...
@TheTraveler
@(Princess) Astra Korraay
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara inhales sharply as Durro does this, knowing Ryan is going to be angry. In fact, Ava might be as well, but she keeps her mouth shut and her hand tightly in Astra's.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
As Durro opens the case, the mystery is revealed. The case is filled with twenty long glass cylinders with a milky white liquid within it. Each glass cylinder was protected by a formed foam packing and held in place with small wooden straps. At the top and bottom of the now opened case, two parts of a broken security seal.

Durro reaches out and lightly touches the vials. He wraps the Force around him, lets it flow through him, trying he hear what Astra heard.
Image
(((I am home now. lol)))
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
((we are on voice chat if you can join us that would be cool, understand if you cannot))
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
While Tesara and Astra don't feel anything through the Force, Durro can feel that they have a connection. Not crystals, but something else. Clearly something Force related.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
"Saba says she feels A life that once was. I don't understand" She said confused.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
Durro's eyes are still closed, he is still immersed in the Force. Hearing Astra as if from far away, he also hears Master Gast: "You have a rare gift."
He opens himself up to feel the Force flow though this room, through him, through the vials, searching for an echo of the 'life that once was.'
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
"What the hell are you doing," Ryan snapped drawing his pistol. The anger on his face was clear, as was his intent. "Put it down or else..." he need not say anything else. His eyes and steady grip on the pistol spoke of his intentions.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara sees Ryan pointing his pistol at Durro and shouts; "Ryan! No!"
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
" Stop Ryan it's my falt, don't hurt Master Thel-Tanis. Please" Astra said.
Mishka Winlat — 11/23/2021
Mishka tries to grab at Ryan's wrist, panic on her face. "Ryan!" She yelped.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
Durro raises his hands, letting the lightsaber deactivate in his hand. He slowly gets to his feet and says;
"Go ahead Ryan, fire. Show Mishka what a hero you are and kill the evil, lightning throwing Jedi. You might even survive long enough to escape the Jupiter 1."

Ryan moved slowly to the side wall making his way towards the case. As Astra and Tesara move away from the case Ryan speaks, "I am not a hero, and you nothing more than a common thief."
He continued to move on the case, "get back Durro, I won't tell you again."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
"I've stolen nothing, and I'm not threatening you. Put the gun down and let's talk about this; something we should've done from the beginning."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
Astra reaches to the force to grab Durro as gently as possible and tries to pull him backwards away from the case.
Image
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan had moved in such a position that ensure that no one would be down range of his weapon, should he decide to fire it at Durro.
Before he can speak again, Durro was pulled back towards Astra and Tesara. It was clear that both men were equally surprised at the sudden change of events. Not being one to hesitate or think through his actions, Ryan leaped for the case and slapped it shut.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara exhales hard when Ryan leaps for the case and doesn't shoot the gun. She glances quickly at Mishka, then back at Ryan.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
As soon as he starts moving, Durro's reaction springs like a released coil. He reaches out with the Force and attempts to yoink Ryan's blaster from his hand and behind Astra and Tesara.
Image
Mishka Winlat — 11/23/2021
Mishka is standing there in shock, glancing between Ryan and the others. She was merely unsure of what to do at this point.
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
" Master Stop please" Astra pleaded clear panic and consurn in her voice.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan stands with the case in hand and makes no further actions towards anyone else. "You want to talk, Durro," his eyes narrowed, "what now, going to force me to listen to you. Now that you have all the advantage with your powers" he said with distain in his voice.
Professor Kenobi — 11/23/2021
commlinks to Tesara.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara stomps in between them. "ENOUGH!" She roars. "Whatever is in the case belongs to Ryan, and Durro and Astra were trying to get at it. WHY?" She turns on them, and it is obvious she is angry. "If you had wanted what was in the case why didn't you WAIT TO ASK RYAN about it?" Then she turns to Ryan. "I know you're angry and I know that damage has been done to Ava's ship. For heavens SAKES will everyone PLEASE CALM DOWN!"
Professor Kenobi — 11/23/2021
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
"It my falt. I thought it was a clue to where quinn was. I heard a kiber crystal, and there would not have been a chance to speak to Ryan he was really eager to get us off the ship" Astra said.
Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
Tesara hears Astra's answer, then looks at Durro and Ryan.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan let out a long heavy sigh as he moved back towards a nearby control panel. He leaned up against the panel with the case safely moved behind him.
"I am calm," Ryan said clearly lying as his breathing and twitching betrayed his state of mind.
Durro knew all too well that the panel Ryan moved to was a secret location of a hidden weapon that could be readied quickly if Ryan wanted to continue this conflict.
Mishka Winlat — 11/23/2021
Far too distressed by the situation, Mishka slipped out of the room while everyone was distracted and made her way to Ava's room to calm herself down.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
"I wanted to ask Ryan." Durro says firmly, standing straight; a hard look on his face unlike any Tesara had ever seen. "Astra thought it was more important to find the Kyber crystals she heard and was certain belonged to Quinn and were being smuggled off-world. I agreed look around, and it got a little out of hand. In fairness, I was not the one who hacked into the wall with a lightsaber. I was also not the one who pointed a weapon at someone else; no matter what he thought was going on up here." He gives Ryan the same hard look, as if daring him to respond. "You act brave when I mean you no harm, but I wonder how brave you'd be if I actually wanted you dead."

Tesara Anerin — 11/23/2021
"Durro, enough." Tesara says sharply. "We're all aware of your abilities." She looks at Ryan. "Whatever is in the case can be discussed later." She glances at Astra and realizes in turning her head that Mishka has bolted. She looks at Ryan again. "Take the case with you and go check on Mishka." She turns to Astra and inhales slowly. "Why did Ryan say he wanted you off the ship?"
Durro Thel-Tanis — 11/23/2021
"My apologies, Master Anerin." Durro says smoothly. He drops the lightsaber to the floor and heads for the ladder. "I'll be in my quarters, if they still are considered mine."
(Princess) Astra Korraay — 11/23/2021
" I'm sorry Ryan I never meant any harm I only wished to investigate find out where Quinn was and hopefully go after him" Astra said.
" He did not he was just pushy about getting us off the ship" she said answering Tesaras question.
TheTraveler — 11/23/2021
Ryan smiled coldly at Durro, "I guess we will have to just wait to see how that turns out." He drew in a deep breath and gave Tesara a nod. He moved along the side walls well away from Durro. Stopping only to pick up his pistol and holster it. He moved for the ladder and ready to leave. He stopped only to give Durro a glance, "I was scared of you once. Now I see what you really are. Just what the legends said the Jedi were."
On that, he slid down the ladder.

Tesara pinches the bridge of her nose. "Of course your room is still yours." She watches Ryan depart first then Durro, then turns to Astra. "The flight deck is not our domain. Let's head downstairs and leave Ryan to assess the damage after he checks on Mishka. She hears the commlink going off again and sighs. "Hang on a moment, please." She answers the commlink. "Professor?"
