Doc Flow — 12/15/2020
After the attractive mechanic left, Ryan turns to @Durro Skywalker “The big goal is that we shouldn’t linger on this planet long. It gives me the creeps. As for us, let’s get back to others and tell them the news.”

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
"Agreed. We are going to need credits; 2000 is a large sum."

Doc Flow — 12/15/2020
“Our cook is actually a mean chemist. I think if we can convince her to do that and sell her goods. That’s how we’ve Been running a side hustle for a few months since I joined up.”

Ava Forma — 12/15/2020
She knew that was a large sum indeed and only had a limited amount of funds. She needed away to find to help raised the money as well. " maybe sell some of that spice garlic sauce from alderan as well " giving Ryan a smile. " am also going try find away to make a quick sorce of income as well changed our registry on our ship. Where its more up to date. "

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
"I presume there are games of chance in the spaceport. It's risky, but quick if our luck holds."
"I'm not saying it's a great idea; simply laying all our options out."

Ava Forma — 12/15/2020
She thought for an moment. " if you want to do these games in the spaceport than go do them. Just be careful to cause trouble that follows you from the spaceport to the ship  " she advised

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
-Durro bows politely-
"Any trouble will remain in the spaceport, you have my word."

Doc Flow — 12/15/2020
ryan goes to his very small bunk in the smuggling compartment and fished out his blaster and power packs. Making sure his weapon is loaded and safety off. If we run into trouble, he won’t have time to ready up.

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
-Durro motions Tesara to the side, away from the ship's crew. He speaks in a low tone-
"We need to decide how we're going to proceed once the ship is repaired. I have a few ideas for where we go and what we might do. Have you given it any thought?"

Tesara Anerin — 12/15/2020
Tesara looks around, then back at Durro.  “No.  Everything seems off.  But I trust you to do as you see fit.  I will do as you ask.”

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
"Tesara, as a Jedi you'll need to be decisive, to trust the will of the Force and to act. I ask for your input because I want it."

Tesara Anerin — 12/15/2020
Tesara smiles at him.  “Once we leave here I think we should seek a way to return to our own time and place.  It feels as if every step is unbalanced here.  Things are unstable and I don’t like it.  If we can find a way to return, I think we should.”  She pauses, looking out over the land.  “If there is no way to return to our own time and place, then we must make our own.  But not here.  Somewhere that we may find like minds and hearts.”

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
"I agree. The way I see it, we have a few options. We can go to Lanus, and see what's become of our people in this timeline. We can travel to where I know ancient Jedi Temples to be in our timeline; see if they're in the same place in this timeline and search for more Jedi knowledge. We could also simply settle down on some quiet world and continue your Jedi training in relative seclusion. Until we know more about galactic events in this timeline, I am hesitant to get involved in their struggles."

Tesara Anerin — 12/15/2020
Tesara nods

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
"No matter what we decide, we'll need to find some 'Jedi equiptment.' Lightsaber parts so that we can each build our own weapon when the time comes. Holocrons and other sources of knowledge that I don't posses. And our own ship, unless we decide to stick with this crew."

Tesara Anerin — 12/15/2020
Tesara’s fingers wrap protectively around the Kyber crystal strung on a leather thong around her neck.  “ I would greatly appreciate the ability to create a light saber for myself.  I’ve had my bow and arrow all of my life, but to have one such as yours would be a dream.”  She sighs. “As for them,  our lives are intertwined with theirs unless we can find our own ship.”

Durro Skywalker — 12/15/2020
-Durro closes his eyes and breaths deeply for a moment-
"Nothing can be decided until we have looked around. Patience, my young apprentice." He says with a smile.
-Durro walks back to the group and addresses everyone (@Players of New Horizons)-
"Pardon me, if I may?"

Doc Flow — 12/15/2020
ryan, fixing his hair with some hair gel, and brushing his teeth, gets beckoned to the front of the ship, spits out the paste, and makes his way to the front

Nova — 12/15/2020
Nova hears the announcement as she was working on mapping the stars so they knew where they were. "So annoying." She muttered to herself before joining the others.

Ava Forma — 12/15/2020
Ava was getting the registration from the ship putting it down on a note pad. Wondering if she could just use what they had. It came up as fake but if she registered it than under the information it should fixed that issue. Than after getting all the information she needed. She headed out of the ship joining the others.

[rythmicjea]

Durro Skywalker — 12/16/2020
-Once everyone (@Players of New Horizons) arrives-
"I know a lot has happened and we're all still processing. However, we can't freeze up and stop moving. Something is not right here and my instincts tell me we should leave this planet as quickly as possible. We have two pressing concerns: First, we need to either repair the ship and get new registration, or we need to acquire a new vessel; either option will cost money, so we will need credits. Second, we need to understand the political landscape we are in. If we fly into any more situations blind, we will end up dead. I'd like to know what is different about this Republic than our Empire, and how the Jedi and the military are different."

"To that end, I am thinking we split up for a bit. Ava, this is your ship; take Nova and see what you can do about transport, either repairs or a new ship. If the spaceport doesn't have what you need, head for the capital; though don't stay too long. Tesara will accompany you; her skills should prove useful."
"Ryan and I will see what we can do about our money problem, and get ourselves caught up on galactic events. Any questions? Comments, concerns, criticisms?"

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
Ava listened she had thought of a solid idea of a plan to cover there bases about the ship and gathering information. She would have to lean on Ryan and nova for the resources to gather money to repair the ship. " my intention is to repair the ship and get a new registration for it. However Ryan, nova, and you desire to achieve that goal i will support. If we end up short i will cover it with the limited amount of money I have. " deciding to chip in if it became the only option or nessarary. " I will love all the help I can get and have no intentions for us staying here on this planet for long. " assuring Durro she agreed with his plan.

Nova — 12/16/2020
Nova listened to Durro and then heard Ava so she shrugged, "Seems a reasonable plan. If I get access to a computer, I can look up the information you need. However I think Ava and Tesara will be fine on their own while I set up things so we know where we currently are and which planets are missing from our timeline." She then looked back at Ava before talking again. "Plus there is the issue with our paint job, we will need to alter that and see if they have planted anything like a tracker on us. So if possible, we should keep a person on the ship at all times. And I can do that so I can set up my best selling items." Then looking at Ryan. "You can sell the items and we can forgo our deal contract for the time being until we are off this planet."

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
That made her look at the ship wondering what was wrong with it. Than realized what was wrong with it. No one mentioned anything about imperial or the the empire outside the group. She frowned for an moment trying to think what to do " I guess just paint over the imperial parts. Don't replace it with anything til we learn more about this republic. We don't need to make more enemies if we don't have to. When we get back ill search for anything out of the ordinary on the ship and Ryan can do a scan for anything that might been recently added to the ship data wise. To see if we have a tracking device or not "

Doc Flow — 12/16/2020
ryan looks at the rest of the group and nods silently.

Tesara Anerin — 12/16/2020
Tesara stands beside Durro, and only nods in silent agreement.

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
' don't think we are going be able to stick around long enough for that date. However I have a surprise for you. When we get back as well.' she sign to nova. Than looks to Tesara " are we ready to head out? "

Nova — 12/16/2020
Nova tilts her head at the secret message Ava sent her before giving a nod. "Stay safe." She turned to head back inside to finish the mapping of the stars and get things out for stuff to sell.

Doc Flow — 12/16/2020
ryan speaks with @Nova "Let me know on the commlink when you are ready for me to try to sell some of your wares. You can use the ship commlink at the front. Just press the red button on the left and select my name."

Nova — 12/16/2020
Nova thinks for a moment. "Rather not mess with things so I will just make a bunch of things and when you get back from recon, you can sell them. Besides, I will probably need all that time to map the stars."

Doc Flow — 12/16/2020
"That is the one thing I want to get done while i'm in town. We need to have our star charts updated, since i'm not even sure if astrological drift is the same as it was in our time line."

Durro Skywalker — 12/16/2020
"Well then, we all have our missions. May the Force be with us all."

Nova — 12/16/2020
Nova gives a nod. "Understood. I will prep things for sell when you get back. It will be packaged and ready to go." Informing Ryan before going to her kitchen to sort everything back to where it belonged and to fetch her stash of stuff that sells well.

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
Ava brain was ticking off all the things they needed to do. Earn money for repairs. Figuring out the new stars system. Register the ship. She needed to buy more time. She pounded over how exactly to do that " may I ask why the rush? Is there something going happen to the planet like alderan? " a sadness was in her eyes. It wasn't her home world but it felt like it. Even in this place it was gone.

Doc Flow — 12/16/2020
“The longer we are stranded here, the slower we will be to return to our home boss lady.”

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
" by rushing out of here into unknown space could land us into more trouble than we are now. We need to make sure we get as much information as possible so we don't end up at another planet we don't belong "

Nova — 12/16/2020
Nova comes back over to join the conversation. "Plus we arent sure if the jedi hunters above us will let us leave until after the whole celebration is done down here."

Tesara Anerin — 12/16/2020
Tesara observes the language with hand gestures between Nova and Ava and is quietly fascinated. Perhaps she can ask Ava for lessons while they are out together.

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
Ava nodded in agreement with nova. She did had a point they did allow them entry into the planet but didn't say anything about a good time to depart. " I think it be wise to wait til they left. Unless we know for sure they won't shot us out of the sky. Unfortunately I have no ties here to even try to get us off if we are in dangerous waters. Something I should fix as well. "

Ava Forma — 12/16/2020
Taking out her note pad putting down a to do list in order. " let's see step one credentials, step two registration of the ship, step three build a few allies here incase we ever have to come back. And step four stop by the market place for somethings i need to aquire. Anything am leaving out? "

[rythmicjea]

Doc Flow — 12/17/2020
*Ryan leaves to get ready to leave, knowing he might not be returning to the ship for a while.

Nova — 12/20/2020
signs to Ava 'Wow blame my kitchen skills.'

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava signs back ' no am just saying we could say it was one from the kitchen sometimes your amazing cooking skills get a little flammy '

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava looks at nova as they walked out ' i hope we gave it to the correct person. Or we might have another problem ' she sign

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova signs back. 'Not my problem... It's the registration guy's problem for not giving us a name.'

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova starts to clean up her new mess from her temper, cleaning angrily.

Kaleb Wren — 12/20/2020
Alright I’m going to start getting ready for work. Will listen for as long as I can. Kaleb does give back the food he took, except for the sandwich he was eating when he was found.

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava will take the food back to the kitchen lol cause if Kaleb goes he might end up getting hit by a. Frying pan

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova sat in her locked room sorting stuff around so she can get her supplies ready to craft her speciality. She slips on her new necklace and hides it under her darkened cloak, as well as pulling out her new fancy weapon to feel the weight of it before putting it on her bed in plain view. But her door was locked which she rarely does.

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava had left the ship momentarily and returned with a bag ten minutes later. Heading off to novas room after stopping by the kitchen and grabbing two glasses. She went to novas door and noticed it was locked. As she took an moment to adjust the bag and glasses into one hand carefully. Than did the secert knock on novas door.

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova heard a secret knock on her door which made her smile before going over and unlocking it. "A lovely surprise. Come on in before the two new ones notice." Was going to pull Ava in but noticed her hands were a bit full. And once Ava was inside, she locked the door.

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava smiled and quickly went inside the room. So nova could locked the door back up. " I got you a present. " looking around the room. The back of her mind wanted to organize this room so badly. Used to neat and orderly but just like nova's kitchen she knew she shouldn't. As she walked over to a crate that didn't had anything on it and set the bag down on it. " I also have good news "

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova followed Ava and cleaned off two chairs as she sets them near the crate. "Oh I have gotten so many presents today. Also I have okay-ish news also."

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
" oh? " raising a brow curiously. As her eyes drifted over to the bed taking around look around the room. Noticing the new weapon nova had. " Mines short. I got back the stolen food and put it back where you had it. The person whom acquired it was scared we may turn him in so he was hidding. I assumed him we had no attentions of turning him in. "

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova perked up, seemingly that still had her a bit on edge as she began to pour them a drink. "Interesting. Anything else, love? You said you have a present. I want to see so badly." Smiling happily wanting to see it.

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava chuckled " am surprised you didn't see it when you took out the bottle of wine. " as she reached into the bag and brought out the bundle of nova lilies. " these are for you "

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova tilted her head, seemingly had only gone for the wine acting a bit like Ryan is to spice and deathsticks. "Guess I missed it." Little sheepish before seeing the Nova Lilies. "They are so lovely, thank you." Taking them before looking a little upset about something. "I guess it's time for my news, huh?"

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava takes a sip of her wine noticing the look on nova's face " am listening "

Nova — 12/20/2020
"I... um snuck out a while ago..... To see Arvid." Getting up and putting the flowers in a vase. "Because we... I am wanted, he pitched the private airport again. So I informed him that Ryan probably is going to move us fairly soon and then...." Carefully walking over with the new weapon. "He gave me this because Durro, our lovely jedi friend, had followed me. And as good faith, gave me a new ID.... But." She then trails off into the brand new language she was beginning to know.

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava listened as she lean back in her chair thinking it over. Wondering how they could do both jobs. Knowing Ryan had found work. They needed the ship fix but money from this time wouldn't be a bad thing as well. " interesting, sorry love I didn't catch what your saying after he gave you a new id. You started speaking in another language "

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova blushed deeply before clearing her throat. "Right... I kinda pitched my skills to get us the hyperdrive so we can leave the planet.. so I am tasked to make my bombs and wait until the security dies down before blowing something up for him." She set the gun down and then sat down also as she takes her glass and quickly drinks it before pouring herself another glass. "I know it's sketchy work and might put me on the radar more but I got our repairs for free and now can get our hyperdrive as well.... Plus I have a new ID that I can show some people on this planet without worry."

Ava Forma — 12/20/2020
Ava give a smiled " maybe i can also make your appearance different as well so you can't be made as easily. Maybe there's away you can do your job and Ryan can do his. I would like to be of assistance with your job if I can. "

Doc Flow — 12/20/2020
ryan is going to get into his bunk. He looks up at his twileik pin-up on his wall. “I’m a fraud. A failure. But I gotta be strong. One day I’ll get back home. The empire has to end, and I’ll step on every toe and finger to get there.” He will restlessly try to sleep.

Durro Skywalker — 12/20/2020
Durro sits meditating in his quarters. The goal remains the same as ever, escape this world and find a way back home. If that is even possible. That becomes the question he focuses on; should I be trying to return home? Or is my place, our place here? This is not our reality, our Republic, or our problem. Do we have a right to interfere? Or do we not only have the right, but the duty to help where we can? Durro looks to the Force for guidance.

Nova — 12/20/2020
Nova gave a sigh. "My job is going to take patience. We might be stuck on this planet for a month." She then pulled out the new necklace she had. "He gave me this because I informed him about our friends in the sky... Basically gave information so that we can have the stuff I managed to get... Plus we need allies and this group seems to be the best for us right now." Letting Ava to see her new necklace. "I think that religion is called Angel. Or something like that, and if our jedi join their side. We might not be targeted like that military ship that was blown up or they won't use those weapons on us." Pointing at the new gun she had.

[rythmicjea]

Ava Forma — 12/21/2020
" nova we don't have a month unfortunately. We have a new guest who is wanted the sooner we leave the better. So if I can help you with this job to speed it up I need to know all of the details of the job. " she looked and oowed at the new necklace it was pretty. As she listened to nova mention the religion " are you able to access the holonet on the ship? "

Nova — 12/21/2020
Nova sighed before informing Ava about the communication towers. "But it will be heavily guarded due to that other bombing." She then heard about the holonet. "I am pretty sure we have one."

Ava Forma — 12/24/2020
Ava listened to the information she was given and nodded her head when she method they may have one. That would help in the future. As she took a sip of her wine. " you know you can always come to me if you ever need anything. I know before we had to hide away cause of my family. " she softly spoke " however that's changed the ava here doesn't exist yet cause her parents are children. " she softly spoke " who knows where my parents faith will go. " meaning they may not even meet or have children.

Nova — 12/24/2020
Nova looked into her glass of wine as she listened to Ava. "Okay, then I will tell you my plan for tomorrow and I'll wake you up in a few hours." Then Nova informed Ava her plan in a few hours after a bit of sleep. "I am mostly going to get information for my job and learn more of this native language. If you wanna help me with my disguise and other things as well." She then reached over and took Ava's hand. "I love you. If there was a chance to return to our time, I wouldn't wish to take it. I think I will rather enjoy this time because I don't have to hide my feelings."

Ava Forma — 12/25/2020
Ava listened to nova's plan and nodded her head understanding. " I can definitely assist you with your disguise. " She blushed slightly hearing Nova's words. " I love you too nova. As for going back i do miss my family and its a slight set back. However I wouldn't want to go back either. Its nice to actually not have to hide apart of myself simply because of my family and thire ways. "

Nova — 12/25/2020
Nova softly smiles. "That is understandable. But even if we did go back, how would the world be? How far into the future did we lose or do we come back right as that planet explodes and have to fight off all those ships?.... What if we end back and we are classed as dead, your family won't believe that, would they? We have seen here that you can be killed easily for personating someone even though you are them." Trying to fathom their situation, finally having a small mental break down of their situation. As if she was trying so hard to keep cool and accepting of their situation but still, it seems it finally hit her that nothing is the same and they are stuck here for a while. "....I should probably get to crafting and you should get to sleep so you have gotten enough sleep before I wake you." Trying to find something to distract her from her thoughts.

Ava Forma — 12/25/2020
Ava lean back thinking about it going over the tactics and strategies of the possibilities. " well if we do managed to go back and actually make it back. One of three things could happen they either belive i was cloned, they belive me and I have to keep silent or as soon as I accounce myself as alive they will accused me for being a traitor to keep me quiet. Meaning they could kill me if they worried about me saying something. After all those where imperial ships that kept anyone from leaving the planet. As for that larger one am guessing it was imperial as well. I prefer being stuck here than going back any having to live as a ghost on the run to keep from being discovered. " she softly spoke. " what's on your mind? " giving a curious look

Nova — 12/25/2020
"I have no connections back where we were from except for my mentor, but he is also on this time period. I am not sure yet if I am here either since I don't know my name." She looks at her glass of wine. "If I do exist in this time period then my mentor will come to this port because I was on the news.... I want to know my real name so badly."

Ava Forma — 12/27/2020
Ava understood that " it probably been more simpler to locate him by habit. Checking places her may have gone and walking up and saying hello or walking past him to see if he would say something. Unfortunately since your all over the news. We don't know your relationship with him. Now the best thing we can hope for is reaching out cause engaging could mean him alerting security if he doesn't know you. However I know how important this is to you maybe we can still figure away to engage him to find out. Or maybe I can I could disguise myself as security to see if he's seen you. " she shrugged not really knowing if it would work. " hopefully he will come to the port. " she softly spoke

Nova — 12/27/2020
Nova gives a nod. "I know it was reckless and dumb but we don't have a bunch of time plus our jedi really wanna get off this planet." She leans back. "If he shows his face tomorrow, I will know before you. I will avoid engaging until you are around."

Ava Forma — 12/27/2020
" well til our ship is fully repaired i dont think they have much choice but to stay and wait. " she softly spoke. Something told her they wouldn't leave and find another way of transportation seeing how all the other ships were locked down. " alright sounds like we have a plan. "

Nova — 12/27/2020
She nods. "We should get some sleep." Carefully getting up and getting closer to Ava. "Sleep with me tonight, that way we aren't wasting time in the morning." Carefully running her hand down Ava's cheek with a small smile.

Durro Skywalker — 12/27/2020
Durro rises from his meditation as the sun's first rays begin to peek over the horizon. He sheds his brakka-wool Jedi robes and dons instead a more contemporary smuggler's attire. Dark pants, a lighter-colored shirt, and a vest with many useful pockets. He still wears his cloak, but more for its utility and to conceal his lightsaber; the cloak, bag, and boots are all that remain of his original Jedi outfit. Once dressed, Durro taps quietly but firmly on @Tesara Anerin's door.

Ava Forma — 12/27/2020
Ava thought for an smiled as she lean in and kissed nova on the lips softly. " ofcourse my sweet. " as she finished her glass of wine and went to lay down in novas bed to get some sleep before she had to wake up.

[rythmicjea]

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
Aria headed to her room and calls nova using her comlink. Wanting to update her on everything that has happened.

Nova — 01/02/2021
Nova answers after making sure she could spend the night with Ayy but before she goes to see Arvid. "I miss you so much."

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
Ava smiled " I missed you too. We finally finished off loading all that cargo. Would you like the normal news or the bad news frist. " since she already shared the good news.

Nova — 01/02/2021
"Ah that is good.... I think I can guess the bad news but there might be more so go ahead with the bad news. I am just glad you weren't killed by the jedi hunter ship."

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
" well who ever was working the gun on it was a bad as shooter as I was but I did manage to finally hit thire ship. The bad news cause Ryan overloaded the ship its grounded agian where it can't take off. The normal news is that on my way to the gunnery I tripped on one of the crates opening it up. Inside of it was a forest camouflage military grade droidekas. The crate was from manufacturer company called yami. Along with most of the cargo. "

Nova — 01/02/2021
"Well then. That is interesting news and well I guess it was a lucky shot but you ended up making me go and fix it. Oh well, my mechanic friend that I was shadowing today fiddled with the engine on that particular ship so it will break down again if it goes out again." She then sighs. "Though I didn't get paid in credits, I did get paid in information..... I guess I will go down the list I managed to obtain and then send a text of it all afterwards."

Nova — 01/02/2021
She then continues, "I think the most dire news you should be known of is the arrival of General Vari Concorkill. Known to be the commander of all republic of this time period. They are a Vurk in ornamental looking clothing. They looked very important upon arriving so expect a lot of trouble heading for the private port."

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
Ava listened to nova as she inform her and made a metal note. " I was already strongly suggesting to Ryan we should head there since it would be foolish to return to the civilization spaceport. They would shoot us down the moment they spot the ship. "

Nova — 01/02/2021
"Yes probably very wise since the patrol has picked up a bunch, had to cover for my mechanic friend.... The next bit of information is why the jedi isn't liked." Giving a sigh before continuing. "Apparently if the jedi deem you a criminal or something like that, you are taken to a place called 'Daragon Trail'. Seems a minister, named Shantii, was going to be taken but due to lack of jurisdiction they backed off... However something suspicious is happening. He died of a heart attack and 13 other people died in the same year as well, 1 every month except for 1 month where it was 2. Also the King Nygal Delphinium died of a heart attack which brought the new Queen to come."

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
Ava listened " did the thirteen die from an heart attack as well? " making sure she was understanding what she was hearing from nova.

Nova — 01/02/2021
"Yes which is why it's suspicious." She informs Ava before continuing. "I also found out about the religion behind the necklace I got but it seems mine is newer and often seen in the market place."

Ava Forma — 01/02/2021
Ava listened " you should treed lightly with that knowledge. Am sure the reason behind those deaths wants it to remain ignored. "

Nova — 01/02/2021
"Understood which is why I looked it up on a ship where I wasn't seen." Ava can tell Nova was smiling. "Now about this religion... It's fairly interesting because this Angel person is a Jedi or that is what I think I was told. Will have to check again. However the difference between her and the others is that she doesn't do violence or death. Also apparently she saved Baklid from destruction and apparently there is a rumor of her being at the war on this planet but no one can back it up." She then chuckled. "The rest of my information is about the civil war and maybe about the war going on right now but I will just text those to you."

Nova — 01/02/2021
Nova then sighs before continuing. "Though this next thing I am to tell you is something I hope you don't get mad at me about..... I taught my mechanic friend some of our coded sign language. Sorry for not talking about this before hand."

Ava Forma — 01/03/2021
Ava thought for an moment looking at the comlink in her hand for an moment before respondin. " am going have to get internal sensors when we are able to get them. To prevent anyone from sneaking on in the mean time I guess I'll take a sweep of the ship before take off. To make sure we don't have anyone extra. As for flying around thats not happening at the moment so I think we're safe. "

Nova — 01/03/2021
"Wise decision but also might want to bring some plant life over the ship so it doesn't reflect off the moon and a spot light as much while repairs are being made." Concerned since she wasn't sure where in the world they were. "I have a meeting to attend so we can talk again later. I love you my love and next time I see you, we are going to have a lot of fun."

Ava Forma — 01/03/2021
" love you too nova take care of yourself and I look forward to your safe return. " she softly spoke before ending the call.

Nova — 01/03/2021
After the call, Nova sent all her information over text to Ava and the picture of the Ayy's necklace with a message after it. 'Forgot about this, can you see if anyone on the ship can translate the text on the wings.'

Durro Skywalker — 01/09/2021
"The crystal is the heart of the blade."
"The heart is the crystal of the Jedi."
"The Jedi is the crystal of the Force."
"The Force is the blade of the heart. All are intertwined: The crystal,The blade,The Jedi."
"You are one."
- Durro while Tesara is swapping out the Kyber crystals.
Durro would also encourage Tesara to "test" the lightsaber, power it on and see its color.

Nova — 01/14/2021
Nova quickly get Durro's attention before he goes off with Tesara. "It will be a quick conversation. I think you should know this information."
Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
Durro ducks into... wherever Nova is
"What is it?"

Nova — 01/14/2021
"I managed to figure out that chemical drop as well as some information about what happened to the 501st after the attack on Lanos. Then also what was used on the Cathedral." Working in the kitchen for dinner. "The chemical is so basic that it's laughable however its lethality is increased. But it's what happened after that you should be informed of."

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
"What happened?"

Nova — 01/14/2021
"Apparently after 12 or so hours, someone applied tiny droids into the environment. These tiny droids were used to erase the lethality and evidence of when the attack was. Since this chemical can last for days or even weeks." Shaking her head with a sigh. "Someone had to come by because they only last the length of removing the lethality before dissolving. I have never seen droids this small."

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
"Curious. Any idea who did this?"

Nova — 01/14/2021
"I have no idea but there is that Yami company. It's name translates to 'Darkness'. When the civil war happened 8 or so years ago, their name popped up for some blasters. Then it was this year with the droid Ava found." Looking back at Durro.

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
"What do we know about Yami?"

Nova — 01/14/2021
"That was all I could find for now. I could do more research but my time was used on history of the 501st."

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
"Really? Good call. What did you find?"

Nova — 01/14/2021
She smiles and gives a nod. "I focused mostly on the planet Tesara is from. After that fight, a protocol was announced, which is Alpha 7 Omega 3 that asks for all ships to be grounded then they bombard the planet to glass. Master Urias Chun used this after the fight that if the mother ship didn't hear from him within 48 hours, they were to glass the planet." She then frowns.

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
Durro looks thoughtful before answering
"That almost sounds similar to what was happening before coronation day."

Nova — 01/14/2021
"501st didn't bring any ship that could carry out that protocol but General Vari Concorkill arrived two days ago with enough fire power." She stretched slightly before talking again. "After that the 501st had 20% of their troopers had ptsd and 10% became suicidal 2 years after the event." Then points to the news. "Now to quickly tell you about what happened to the Cathedral. The bomb consisted of Rhydonium, I will have to study the sight to figure out if it just was that."

Durro Skywalker — 01/14/2021
"Curious."
After hearing about the bombing
"Keep me updated on what you find. Good work, Nova."
Durro moves to find Tesara

[rythmicjea]

TheTraveler — 01/15/2021
@Tesara Anerin there is a knock at your door. Durro is seeking you

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
@Durro Skywalker
Tesara opens her door and steps aside. She has a plate of bread and cheese from Nova's kitchen and two cups of hot tea - a kind that she knows he enjoys. She's taken a bath and dressed in clean clothing, her hair braided and her face calm, but he knows her well now, and she is unsettled. "I made tea for us, and some food." She says, pointing to a chair for him.

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro's face is hard set and he says sternly
"It was foolish of you to sneak away from the ship and to go explore an environment you know nothing about. It was needlessly risky, you could've been hurt."
Durro sits in the offered chair and his face softens
"What's done is done; we can't change the past. You're safe, that's what matters."
He smiles at her and sips his tea
"So, how was your first experience in the big city?"

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
Tesara pauses before sitting, looking at him with a curious expression that then fades. She considers whether or not to explain why she had decided to sneak away on her own, but realizes it would just be foolish and unnecessary. Her reasons were her own, and he's right, she is safe.
"It was interesting." She sits, picking up her own tea and looking thoughtful. "I've never seen anything so vast and teeming with life. Much of it was..." she pauses, thinking. "Unpleasant. Loud and dirty. There was a lot of misery and anger. I wore the cloak Ryan gave us when we first boarded this ship to hide my identity. I did not take my bow nor my new light saber, knowing if I had been detained it would not be good to have such weapons. I simply took a steak knife from the kitchen and tucked it in my belt in case I needed something that would come in handy as a weapon of sorts." She sets her mug on the table and looks at him. "I followed the force to a warehouse."

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
"What did you find there?"

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
"Shipping containers. Hundreds and hundreds of them, stacked two high. Empty, but with these strange metal arms and rows and rows that once contained..." she frowns. "Something I couldn't quite understand. Too small for a human. There was a bluish light I thought to stay away from while I searched, but after a while I braved going closer. And when I got close enough, I could see that it was her. The girl who looks like me, with the marks on her face. The one who was going to take me to her mother that day. She was looking at a vast blue shimmering light above her that looked like a spider web, but...different. I couldn't figure out what it was, but of course, she felt me there. She asked me if I would come out from the shadows or not. So I did." Tesara pauses, takes a bite to eat and glances at Durro's expression, curious as to what he may be thinking but not yet saying.

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro simply sips his tea and listens

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021

She takes a moment to finish eating and then sits back. "It was more of the same, and not. I think she may finally believe me that I am not from this timeline. She didn't actually SAY it, but I got a feeling she didn't want to come right out and admit it. She told me her name is Orchid. I told her mine as well. I figured that whatever this thing is between us, we might as well be honest with each other." Once again she sips her tea. "She continues to tell me that you are lying to me. I continue to tell her I do not believe that is true. I told her you had no reason to lie to me. That what you had taught me of the force felt right, and that whatever Jedi there are here in this timeline, this...place...it's not right."

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro also finishes and sits back
"Then what happened?"

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
Tesara sighs and continues. "She told me that I could have ultimate power. That there was so much more to the force than you were telling or showing me. These are my words, please understand. What happened afterwards shook me a great deal and I am doing my best to remember it all." She brushes her braid over her shoulder and looks at him. "She told me that her mother is at the heart of what is happening. That it has all been planned out. She told me that she never wanted to fail her mother, and that when she did fail, there was pain for it. I could feel it from her. I cannot imagine that kind of hurt that comes from ones own mother inflicting pain from failure. I told her we were human and therefore make mistakes. But she said she won't make mistakes again, that she would make her mother proud. I told her that I understood why she was so filled with rage and pain. After what I saw in our shared vision, it makes sense that she would be swallowed up by the need for revenge. I told her that although I could feel compassion and sympathy for what happened to her, that I have never felt that kind of pain or anger. To claim the kind of power she continues to offer doesn't make sense for me. I have only ever come from a life of love and kindness. Of community and peace. What wars or battles I have seen are muted, at a distance. She said that I had not felt them....YET. " She sighs and looks away., then speaks again. "She told me to leave the city at once. The blue light vanished, and she was gone. "

"I left the warehouse only to open the door and hear the explosion and see the debris. I was afraid it might be the same kind of chemical that was used to kill the ones at the medical camp. As I ran for cover I realized in that second what the blue lights had been. The spider web...it was a map of the sewers! I ran to the nearest cover and used the force to open it, then jumped inside before I could inhale anything that might kill me. It was a very long fall. When I landed, it hurt. I could hear panic and screams and voices above me. I climbed the ladder to see if there was anyone close by who might be saved by coming down with me, but everyone was too far away. There were people that had already died, there was fighting and chaos everywhere. I knew I had to get back to the ship. I left the cover open a little in case anyone else needed to escape from what was happening, and I began to run. I followed the parallel of the street above until Ava contacted me on the commlink. From there Ryan was able to send a signal for me to follow, and that is how I returned here."

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro looks thoughtful for a moment
"Are you hurt? Were you treated once you returned to the ship?"

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
Tesara nods. "Yes, I am fine now, thanks to Nova."

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
"Well, that is good. I'm glad that you're safe. While I encourage you to reach out if you feel led to, always be mindful of your surroundings. I don't want you getting in over your head until you can defend yourself properly."
Durro reaches into his bag
"Which reminds me; I found something."
He withdraws a grey metal sphere with nodes all over it. It is very worn, clearly beat to hell and then repaired. Probably multiple times.
"A training remote; like I told you about. It will hover around when activated and fire non-lethal training blasts. You can use it to practice your lightsaber skills, primarily blast deflection."

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
Tesara's face betrays her surprise that Durro doesn't have more to say about her interaction with Orchid., but she quickly recovers and takes it. "Thank you! I look forward to using it. But outside, I would imagine. And once we're away from the city." She puts it on the table near the light saber and turns back to him. "So you managed to return also unscathed from being with the Queen. Are you willing to share what happened?"

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro notes Tesara's surprise
"I find it easier to focus on what's likely true if you approach each event with an open mind. It does little good to speculate about what might be; rather our focus should be on the here and now. As more information is learned, we will gain a clearer picture of what is happening."
Durro leans back with a smile
"As for the Crown Princess, well; that is an interesting story. While searching for the remote, I kept hearing rumors and stories about the attack on the medical center. The stories claimed the attack happened as far back as three weeks ago. The stories also blamed the Crown Princess and the Government Forces. I also saw a... memory? From master Luminara's kyber crystal. She had met with the Crown Princess in her office. So I went to the palace for answers, assuming it would be lightly guarded due to the coronation. I sneaked inside and found the office, but while I was there the Crown Princess entered. The guards had detected my actions and alerted her, and she wanted to deal with it herself, even though it meant being late to her own coronation. I regret nothing, I saved her life."
Durro grins at the thought before continuing
She was hospitable, we talked and I got some good information. When the attack came I shielded her from the blast and then her guards took us both the command center. We saw the battle droids in the streets; the Crown Princess wanted to take her royal guards to help hold the street; I convinced her to keep me by her side since she did not trust me. I defended her from blaster fire and we held the street. I seem to have convinced her that I mean her no harm, for she had her guards bring me back here."
Durro stands and stretches
"It's been a long day and I think we're all tired. We should get some rest; the next few days are going to be chaotic."

Tesara Anerin — 01/15/2021
Tesara nods and stands. Bowing respectfully to her teacher, she opens the door and watches him leave. When he’s gone, she does lie down in her bunk. But it is many many hours before she falls asleep.
/end

[rythmicjea]

Durro Skywalker — 01/15/2021
Durro sits in his room, meditating on the day's events. He reaches out with the Force, trying to pierce the veil of the Dark Side and to see this "mother" that keeps getting mentioned, the one he and Tesara have both received glimpses of. He clears his mind and empties his thoughts; the river of the Force flows through him, and he is a leaf caught in the current, helpless but to go wherever the flow takes him. He can hear Master Yoda's voice in his head;
"Through the Force, things you will see, other places. The future, the past, old friends long gone."
He quiets his mind, drifting in the current of the Force. And he listens.

Nova — 01/15/2021
After making dinner and feeding those who were still awake, Nova decided to sit in front of the holonet to research more on the attack of the Cathedral for a few hours.

Durro Skywalker — 01/16/2021
After meditating for a couple of hours, once the streets were calm and the ship quiet, Durro rises to go get some tea. As he gathers what he needs, he sees the holo-feed Nova is watching and he feels a tug at his spirit.
Stopping just short of boiling water, he instead goes to Tesara's quarters and knocks softly. When the door hisses open he does not enter but says;
"I'm going to the Cathedral to see if I can of any help. This would be a good lesson about what it truly means to be a Jedi. Would you like to come?"

Tesara Anerin — 01/16/2021
Tesara doesn’t hesitate. She’s been pacing for hours, feeling unsettled and useless. Helping those in need is exactly what she needs. “Yes!” She says quickly.

Durro Skywalker — 01/16/2021
The two Jedi take the speeder from the yacht, unsure if public transit will be running where they need it to. The trip is solemn, hardly a word exchanged. When they arrive, Durro leads the two of them to whoever looks to be in charge and says:
"We're here to volunteer, how can we help?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021

The night had passed without event as the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital was slowly packed up. Very few stirred as the party enjoyed a relaxing moment of rest.

A lone shadow moved through the darkened corridors of the Jupiter One. The shadow reached out a small hand and gently touched a closed door.

Then without warning the hand pulled back and knocked softly on the door of Durro's cabin.

A hooded Lysire waited silently for Durro to open the door.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro, meditating, bids her enter.

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
Lysire softly opens the door and slips inside.

Her hooded head hung low as she stopped just within the door way.

"Master," she said after clearing her throat and clearly trying to work up the courage to speak freely.

"About our conversation before," she said as her nerves slipper in to her words. "I ask a favor of you. My Mentor always taught be to be honest. But even she understood the difficulties I faced."

She frowned deeply, "I was never accepted by those children in the Villages. Often the target of abuse and ridicule."

She paused to drew in a deep breath. "It is after such an unfortunate encounter when my Mentor pulled the necessary strings to allow me to have access to the Library."

She laughed slightly, "I ended up spending nearly all my time there. Sometimes, the librarians would find me sleeping in one of the study alcoves."

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro motions for her to come in, and make herself comfortable fully inside the quarters. He smiles at her and asks.
"I understand you have had an interesting past. What is the favor you ask?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
Her short lived smile faded, "yeah,"

She fidgeting with her hands slightly as she fell silent for a moment. "Please Master," she finally.

"Kaleb believes me to be a Jedi," she said softly. "And I have trained and studied very hard," the concern and pleas echoed in her voice.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
"But you were never formally inducted into the Order."

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She drew in a deep breath once more. Her tears became clearly visible.

"It's worse than that Master," she said softly. "As you have to know, its far worse than that."

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro gives her a smile of encouragement and tries to project a sense of peace and confidence in the Force.
"Go on, you can tell me. You'll get no judgement here."

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She reached up with her right hand and pulled up her left sleeve. "Master, please don't tell Kaleb."

She sniffles slightly, "he doesn't know," she said coiling her hand over her left forearm. "He doesn't know, I was an inmate."

As she squeezed her arm, a sixteen alpha numeric code light up and became visible on the underside of her forearm.

"Please Master," she pleaded.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro nods
"Of course, this is between you and Kaleb."
He gestures for her to have a seat.
"Why don't you tell me everything? I'm here to help."
He offers her some tea, waiting for when he is done meditating.

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
As she removes her hand from her left forearm the illuminated code vanishes from sight. She moves and takes her seat as directed.

She blinks softly at him then brushes off her tears, "I didn't withhold anything from you Master."

She nods to the tea, "thank you."

"But what do you think I withheld from you," she asked. A sudden sense of panic edging in to her voice.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro sips his own tea.
"Assuming what you told me of your parents is true, why were you an inmate? What did you do?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She frowned deeply as her head tilted slightly to the right, "Master," her voice now in a panic. Her heart started to race at the thoughts of such an accusation. "I have been honest with you," she said softly.

She closed her eyes and fought back the fears that threatened to overwhelm her.

"You have to know my crime, Master," she said softly.

"I," she drew in a deep breath then continued with renewed confidence. "Being born to Star Light Prison, and touched as I have been. I was given eighteen years, with a chance of petitioning the Order to have my freedom restored when I turn eighteen," she explained.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
"So you were imprisoned for the heinous crime of... being born to prisoners in a prison?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She nodded, "as you have to be aware of."

"Any and all children born within the Villages of Star Light Prison are tested." She sighed heavily, "those like me. Are issued a sentence. No sentence is greater then the moment any child reaches adulthood. Each child has a chance to petition the Order for their freedom."

She suddenly felt foolish explaining all if this to a Master of the Order.

"Master, I mean no disrespect," she suddenly foolish that she felt necessary in explaining that.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro smiles reassuringly at her.
"How long until you turn 18? Or have you already?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She frowns, "before all this," she said softly, "I was putting my paperwork together. With the recommendation of my Mentor I was able to submit my petition two years early."

She sighed softly, "I had a year to get my paperwork together."

"But now," she sighed heavily. "I fear I will be seen as an escaped prisoner."

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
"So you are what, sixteen?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She shook her head, "fifteen," she said softly.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
"I see."
Durro finishes his tea and sets down his cup.
"So, what do you want from me? What favor are you asking?"
"I understand you have trained and studied hard, but what is it you need from me?"

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She nearly whimpered before she spoke her next words, "please Master, don't tell the others....most of all Kaleb." Her lower lip quivered slightly, "I don't want him to know me like that. He thinks me a Jedi as your Padawan is. They all do."

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro places a hand on her shoulder, projecting peace and calm through the Force.
"You have my word, young one. I'm here to help you but I can't do that if I don't know what you need."

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
Her mind raced as he spoke. It was as if he was toying with her at this point.

There was the whisper in the back of her mind tempting her anger. To lash out at him for not listening to her. To not respecting her fears and concerns.

She suddenly felt as if he was making a joke out of her fears.

Then a sense of calm washed over her. He had to be testing her. Testing her control and ability to confront her fears.

She took a deep breath and calmed her mind.

"Master," she tried to hold on to that calm in her mind. "Please keep my past a secret and let them all believe I am a Padawan no different than Tesara."

Her eyes begged him for understanding and his compassion.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro nods
"I see. You did not have to tell me, so I thought your story led into the favor. If all you want is my silence, then I can assure you I will say nothing."
Durro looks thoughtful for a moment before continuing.
"Normally it's forbidden for a Jedi to train multiple students at a time. However, in the ancient times, Jedi were taught in groups; one master training several young students to Knighthood at the same time. These groups of colleagues taught and learned from each other, just as much as from the Master."
"So, along with my silence, I'm willing to begin training you in the Jedi Arts. To help you learn control of your fear, and your anger. To feel compassion for others and above all, to hear the whispers of the Force. To know its will and to selflessly follow it. You will join Tesara in learning all you can from me. If you so desire."
Durro raises his hand before she can answer.
"First, I'll be completely honest with you. I am not a member of the Jedi Order. Tesara and I are from... the best I can figure, another timeline. Where we're from, history is different than it is here. I was a Jedi in our timeline, but I had just left Lanus after 19 years of isolation; in our timeline it was never discovered by the Republic. I truly did not know your situation or your story. However, if you are willing to learn from someone who can never officially give you freedom or a Jedi rank, then I will teach you."
"In my opinion, the knowledge and experience you gain on the journey is far more valuable than what the Jedi say you are or are not."
Durro sits back for her answer.

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She leans back and gazes at him thoughtfully. The weight of the situation becoming even more serious for her.

Sure there was the chance that she might be considered an escapee. But her hopes had relied on the fact that this person was a Master of the Order. His word could wash away such accusations. Her freedom would be assured as her assistance to him and his cause would be considered time served.

Her panic threatening to consume her once more. Instead of letting it take hold, she took a deep breath and held on to it. She closed her eyes and recited the ancient words.

Returning her calm to the foremost of her mind. "I will never find freedom. One day the Hunters will catch up with me."

There was a solemn to her voice that spoke of her acceptance of her fate.

"I will serve loyally, and I will accept what training you wish to offer me," she said lowering her head.

Ahe opened her mouth again to speak but nothing came forth. She simply didn't know what to say. Her choice appeared to have doomed her to a one way ticket back to Star Light. And there was no changing that fate.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro sees the fear in her eyes and guess why it and the hesitation is there.
"Do not give up on yourself, young one. The Force is freedom; whether we are roaming the stars with no responsibility, or whether we are imprisoned with no say in our life. If the Force is with us, then who can stop us? The Force is the ultimate freedom. I'm offering you that freedom, and you must trust that no matter what happens to you, all is as the Force wills it."
"If you wish to train with us, to become a Jedi; or at least as much of one as I can make you, then be at the base of landing ramp at sunrise. Regardless of what you decide, you should get some rest."
Durro rises and begins to put away the tea things.
"Remember, the Force will always be with you."

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
She listened to him and fosuced on his words. There was truth to them. But at the same time she also knew what she wanted.

There was conflict, but she would do her best.

He had promised his silence and that is what she had asked for.

She knew to keep such silence, she would have to make some sacrifices.

She rose from her chair, "thank you, Master." She softly bowed her head.

he will find out what you did the soft voice whispered. he can't and won't protect you from going back.

She shifted uncomfortably as she rose back up. and when they finally find out what you did....

"Thank you Master," she said softly forcing her mind to silence the whispers. "I will be there in the morning," she added as she turned to leave to leave Durro's room.

Durro Skywalker — 01/24/2021
Durro watches her leave. He can feel the conflict in her, but how much of it is truly the Dark Side, and how much is just normal teenage angst? He glances at his chrono; the hour is late. He wonders if she is still awake?

TheTraveler — 01/24/2021
Lysire pulls up hood and then pulls her robe tightly around as she departs the Jupiter One. She crossed the space between the two ships and finds her bunk on the X-175 waiting for her.

they will all find out what you did the voice whispered in her mind. She closed her eyes as the tears slipped down her cheeks.

She reached down and gripped the lightsaber and held it tightly. 'It wasn't my fault,' she desperately reminded herself.

[rythmicjea]

Nova — 01/26/2021
One morning just before they were to do the morning lessons, Nova looked at Lysire. "Can I have a moment of your time? It will be quick but I believe you will benefit from this as well."

TheTraveler — 01/26/2021

Lysire walked across the wide open space between the two ships. To many the morning was beautiful and promising. For Lysire is was something else.

She did her best to hide the uneasiness that being above ground made her. Though, like with so many things, she felt as if she was failing at that as well.

The one called Nova walked up to her. Lysire's surprise wasn't hidden by the unexpected request.

"Of course," she said with a slight head tilt. Her curiosity suddenly perked with interest. She turned to Durro, "I will catch up, Master."

She then turned to Nova, "how can I help you," she said softly.

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova studied her reaction before glancing at Durro. "Well then, first off... I still don't fully trust you just yet... If you cause anything to happen to Ava then you will be in a world of hurt." Slightly glaring at her before relaxing, "To be fair, I don't trust everyone here except Ava but she has placed some trust in you so I must respect her wishes." Crosses her arms staring at Lysire to judge her reaction.

TheTraveler — 01/26/2021
Tilting her head, Lysire blinked almost confused at the sudden appearance of hostility.

"I have not asked for your trust to be given without earning it," she said thoughtfully.

"As for causing problems," she added as if trying to find the right words. "Its not my intention to cause harm or concern."

Finally giving a soft bow, "should you desire, I can limit my activities and remain close to Kaleb."

Nova gave a sigh, "I see.... Now for the beneficial thing for you." She gave a soft smile. "I am the researcher and information gatherer for the crew. If you need anything found out, you can come to me. Since you have agreed to not cause harm to Ava, I will avoid looking up any information on you." She then began to turn to walk away. "For now, just don't raise any major suspicions that will cause trouble to come our way. Any and all trouble stays off the Jupiter 1. If it is to keep Ava safe, be willing to lay down your life. You would of rather died than have me after you." She then smirked at Lysire. "Oh and the kitchen is off limits, it is my domain and I am willing to starve you if you touch it." Nova then joined the others dropping her hostility projection for her calm kind demeanor.

Lysire stood slightly and l listened calmly to the crazied woman before her. She tried not to frown or be disrespectful but her emotions weren't hidden.

'they will all soon know' the voice whispered softly in the back of her mind. 'they will never accept you, especially after what you have done'

Lysire flinched as if she was hit. She quickly recovered quickly with a nod, "you will find I will make no trouble for you or Ava."

She let out the breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "I won't require your culinary services beyond what you provide anyone else."

TheTraveler — 01/26/2021

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova glanced at her. "Need not worry for now. I shall not cause harm to you." She quickly thinks before speaking again. "We all have a past which we wish people to not know. Prove your worth to the group and all that you have done shall be forgiven." She gives a shrug. "Or so said my mentor. One's past shall not cause horror to us. If you deem yourself worthless and prove as such then you will have no worth here. So prove you were worth saving from that hell and I might just care to sacrifice my life for yours." She then softly smiled. "For I have a grudge against those who harm me or my friends.... All that walk the same path as Ava must be tested, even our current Master Jedi and his padawan."

TheTraveler — 01/26/2021
'they will never trust you, always judge you......strike her down' the voice whispered in the back of Lysire's mind.

Lysire coiled her fists in to tight balls within the sleeves of her robes. Her anger growing.....

Then it stopped as a new voice spoke in her mind, 'let calm mind reveal clarity of actions.'

Lysire frowned as she listened to the final words of Nova. She gave a soft nod.

"Do you mind," she said softly as her anger all but vanished. "If I were to point out the flaw in your intentions here."

Lysire gazed thoughtfully and without emotions in to Nova's eyes. Her confidence renewed with a clear sense of the flow of the Force around her.

"You approached me and suggested a benefit to our conversation," Lysire started to speak.

"feel the force around you. Like protective waters, washing away the temptation of the darkness" Lysire's memories continued as her one speech continued uninterrupted.

"Yet, your tone betrays your lack of confidence and fear of loss. You have explained your role and attempted to leverage this new knowledge to command my loyalty."

"You attempt to strike fear in me of what you might learn."

Lysire stepped forward as if to assert herself, "you have no power over me. Your attempt to threaten me, a person of what ten years your junior, of what you might discover "

Her voice calm, clear and emotionless, "I am the daughter of a murderous pirate who was feared across the Republic. I was born in a high security Jedi prison."

Her eyes grew sad and shined as the tears welled up as she continued, "fear and ridicule was my childhood. At the age of five, my mother's original sentence was carried out. From that day forward I had no one. And the bullies, like you, leaped at the new prey."

She drew in a deep breath, "you see, there is nothing you can find on me that I won't share truthfully. Therefore your threats and attempts to control me have failed."
-
She paused for a moment before adding, "I would suggest reflecting on your choices to threaten a teenage girl prior to continuing this conversation."

On that Lysire turned and walked away. Drawing up the last of her will, she walked away while keeping the tears at bay.

(OOC: Lysire will resist any further attempts to stop her departure. She will not return to Durro and the others. Instead she will head in to the jungle alone)

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova studied Lysire as she finally pointed out her choice of words before she left. Nova waited a few more moments so she was out of hearing range before talking to herself. "Silly girl, you are the one that is fooled." She then stretched. "I found out what I needed and have successfully admitted my loyalty to Ava is absolute. But you were from that prison, so you couldn't be trusted near Ava. Your past will always haunt you until you can let it disappear. Those memories will cause harm and if you are truly a Jedi, as people have stated, then you must follow Durro's teaching of calm. If not, I will kill you." She, as well, skips out on training.

Durro Skywalker — 01/26/2021
(Which I suppose brings us to the clearing Durro chose, away from the commotion of the camp, for training.)
Durro looks towards the camp as Tesara and Ava begin breathing exercises.
"Where are Lysire and Nova? Did they tell anyone they weren't coming?"

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
Ava looked around and shook her head " no, if you want i can go find out what's keeping them? " offering to find out why Lysire and nova weren't here yet.

Durro Skywalker — 01/26/2021
"If you could. I would like everyone to be around for training. Nova especially wants to learn how to shield her mind."

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
Ava looked at the bracelet and turned it on deciding to test out her new comlink since she didnt know if nova was in the kitchen or sleeping. She called nova and waited for her to pick up while she looked around the outside of the ship for lysire. Knowing lysire spent a good amount of time reading.

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova, being in her locked room again, looked at her bracelet as it went off. Giving a faint sad smile before answering, "Good morning dear. Sorry about not showing up. Wasn't feeling up to it anymore." Nova frowned knowing what would happen if she explained where Lysire went.

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
Ava listened to Nova not seeing Lysire at her usual reading spot. " its alright my love. Am sorry to hear your not feeling well. Have you been in bed this entire morning? " as she walked towards Kaleb ship. Knowing Lysire slept on that ship.

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova gave a deep sigh. "No I had a little fight with Lysire.... You won't be able to find her around the ships." Heading out her door towards the ramp. "If you are looking for her, you might want to bring back up. She was very very angry with me."

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
Ava stopped in her tracks and turned " what happened? " heading back toward to the camp to inform Durro. So they can have a search party if they need it.

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova sat on the ramp as Ava headed back to Durro so she kept talking via the comlink. "I was talking to her like I do when I want something and I guess she took it wrong before walking off yelling at me." She then looked out the way Lysire went. "I should avoid going with you guys and joining training sessions if she goes into a yelling fit quickly."

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
Ava wondered exactly what had transpired wondering if it happened on the ship. Where and if it was caught on camera if there was audio on those cameras. She would check it out later. What was important was finding Lysire before she got into any trouble. As she approached the camp. " which way did she go? " asking nova on the com.

Nova — 01/26/2021
"I will point the direction that I saw her going once you get the others." Nova then thought to herself, 'You lucky little swine. If Ava didn't require your knowledge of the era we were in, I would of killed you the night you arrived.'. Nova then sighed, "I will wait for you guys here." She then hanged up on Ava.

Durro Skywalker — 01/26/2021
Durro, having heard Ava's last question, looks over at her.
"Where did who go?"
"Lysire? I don't think you have Lysire's comm details."

Ava Forma — 01/26/2021
" be safe my love and take care " hanging up. Looking at Durro. " nova and Lysire had a fight and Lysire ran off into the forest. I have a direction where she went we should go after her. "

Durro Skywalker — 01/26/2021
"Show me, and then join Tesara. She can guide you in breathing exercises. I will retrieve Nova and Lysire."
Durro heads back towards the Jupiter 1.
He sees Nova on the boarding ramp and approaches her. His tone is gentle, not angry at all.
"Which way did Lysire go?"

Nova — 01/26/2021
Nova looks up just enough to see the direction correctly and just points the direction Lysire went. She kept quiet for a few moments just staring at her bracelet with Ava's name on it. "She won't like to see me so I won't be able to join your sessions while she trains nor be able to join you in your search."

Durro Skywalker — 01/26/2021
"I'm sure it's not that bad."
Durro looks in the direction Lysire went.
"First, I have to get her to come back. Then we can work on smoothing things out."
He smiles at Nova.
"One problem at a time, Nova. Go join the others; Tesara will lead you through meditation. I'm going to find Lysire."
