Astra calls Quinn 7/23/21
After seeing the message Quinn left she opted to call him rather then text him back. " Quinn im out of the Candy district and im fine" she said.

TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
There was a noticeable sigh of relief and the strange sound of wind wiping by, "that's good. Are you heading back to the Palace now," he asked in to the comlink.
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" Yes Quinn I am why does it sound like a wind storm" she asked.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
"My meeting ending a bit ago so I am, um heading back to the Palace,"
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" I see so how angry are you right now" astra asked trying to sound innocent.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
Hr laughed, "Astra I am a fully trained Jedi Hunter, I don't get mad." There was truthful intention in his words but his voice betrayed his true feelings.
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" Quinn that's not the full truth. We are emotional people you may control yours better but you still have emotions in seen plenty even in your text you just left. so how angry are you " she asked.
((Just saw that typo lol))
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He laughed, "fair enough," he then added, "still it was foolish. We were warned how dangerous that area is."
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" we have been warned try again. You were warned. And we had to in order to find cricket" she said.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He sounded surprised, "find who?"
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" she's a 13-year-old child who went missing about three days about. Tesara and I ran into her mother when we're were out getting lunch. We agreed to go looking for her. We started at the market and found out she hung around the space port from there we found out she hung out with a gang in the candy district she was last see there we found out from on of the girls who know her that the man in White I told you about this morning was seen their asking questions about her a day before the secret police picked her up. Ether why we need to speaker to the man in white to find out why she was picked up and where she is" Astra said.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
The frustration in his voice was clear, "Astra, you need to be careful. The political landscape of Baklid is becoming very dangerous. I have been in meetings all day with Masters and advisors. There is a revolution that is exploding on Baklid 2 that threatens to destabilize the moon colony. There are reports of this revolt spreading to Baklid 7. That is the Prime Minister is desperate to bring the Jedi in on his side. He is claiming that those on Baklid 2 and 7 are linked to the Europian Liberation Front here on Baklid 6."
He paused a bit then picked up, "your man in white is Stefan Grósz, he is a registered Force Advisor hired by the Prime Minister to well, help him with dealing with the political situation that has become Baklid. He holds the position of Minister of Spiritual Affairs. We had a nice long talk about his role here. I will be doing some more research on him once I get back to the Temple. But on a first pass, I would agree with you, he is dangerous. But I sense no darkness within him. I can't put my finger on it, but I am sure there is more to him then meets the eyes."
There was urgency in his voice, "Astra, you should not speak with him. And don't go running off and putting your nose in the affairs of the local police. If this girl hangs around the Candy District, than she is most likely involved in some criminal activities."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" quinn please listion to me yes she is involved in some criminal activity but gave all the money she earned to the orphanages. She is as little none force-sensitive child how much threat could she really to the prime minister " she said. She was definitely frustrated. They needed to move up there time table. But the sereno family was taking there time.
" ok so you can't help with the girl can you help me with the kiber crystal or did you not get the chance to ask your master about it?" She asked. She would let go of crickets case for now. They needed to get ready for a war.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
There was frustration in his voice, "Astra, there are limits to what we are allowed to get involved in." He paused for a long while. He couldn't tell her that comlink traffic in the city were being monitor. He cursed himself for not suspecting that before he learned off it today. But then something dawned on him. "Astra you need to remember, you are a member of the Order. Your actions reflect on us all." Once more there was a pause, "you can't just run around interfering with the actions of a sovereign state. You risk getting yourself in to a freighter's load of trouble."
He paused at the change of subject, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I got a message from my Master. He referred me to some research material at the Temple. One thing I know, it that to bond with the Crystal, you need to have spend time in deep mediation. Then it will take you, and two other Jedi, those close to you. There is a special place in the Temple, that is designed for this purpose. But I need to do some more research on it."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" can I join you and help you reshirch" she asked calmly
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
The sound of the speeder changed as if he was changing directions, "Sure, I will pick you up at the Palace. Just be warned, I am on a Speeder bike."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" oh fun" she said a hit of anxiety in her voice.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He laughed, "I will be there in about ten minutes. Might want to let your Nanny know. I am sure this will be a late night in the library."
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" yes. I will be sure to let her know I'll see you at the Palace " astra said
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
After about ten minutes, Quinn arrived to pick Astra. The speeder bike was no different than the dozens Astra had seen before.
Quinn helped her on to the back of the speeder bike. "Hold on," he said over his shoulder.
Once she was secured, he triggered the speeder and they took off in to the darkening sky.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" ahh" she said. It was not that bad just scarry at first. " O-ok this is not to bad I can't believe you drive one of these." She called over the wind as she held on tight to Quinn.
@Astra Korraay
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He laughs, "well the auto pilot does most of the work. I just point and it goes."
He turned towards the massive Jedi Temple of Baklid VI.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
"Yah I bet" she called over the wind.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He laughs as they speed high above the city with only the speeder between their legs.
They rocketed across the sky and closing on the Temple.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" what's so funny" she called.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He only smiled and pressed a few buttons on the control pad. Within a second the speeder accelerated and started to pull up.
Within seconds the speeder was in a steep climb. It then pulled as Quinn grabbed Astra's hands around his waist while holding on with his other.
The speeder bike continued to pulled upward till it moved over to its back and shifted its nose down towards the city below.
As the speeder bike continued its large loop, it picked up speed before rocketing towards the ground.
Then pulled back up and settled back for a course towards the temple.
The entire time, Quinn was laughing his head off.
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
For a moment astra feels like she will be sick. But eventually starts to laugh as well. " If Tesara saw that she would so kick your butt" astra called.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He leaned back, "as I said. The auto pilot does all the work. I just hit the buttons."
"Watch," he said the pressed a series of buttons that put the Speeder in to a barrel roll.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
Astra giggled " don't you ever with roza on your bike" she said. But she was still happy. " I think I understand a bit of what you feal quinn. When we went looking for cricket the people they thought we were hunters they were so afraid of us. That must hurt a lot" she said
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He fell silent, and did a sound job of hiding his frown. He didn't really want to talk about it. The speeder continued on its course.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" I'm sorry quinn the pain you must feal every day I never should have judged you like that. I'm so sorry. I have a question if I wanted to inform the Jedi here of the vision I had the one where I saw the order destroyed who would I talk to. " she asked. As she looks around at the city beneath them.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
Quinn let out a deep sigh of unease as the Speeder Bike start to circle around the temple. He heard her speaking to him, but really wasn't sure if he wanted to have this conversation with her. He tossed her a life line with her question. "You are a member of the Order. If you choose to divulge your vision to them, that is your choice to make. No one can make it for you," he said softly.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" I know I just wanted to know who I talk to about it. Let's drop it and just get the research done. I'm sorry if I upset or affected you" she said fealing sumthing was definitely wrong given his silences and the last response.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He shook his as the Speeder started to land, "Its just something I try not to talk about. I just don't give it much thought," he said thoughtfully.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
Astra stayed quiet. Once the speaker landed she got off it. She looked anywhere but at quinn. She had made a mistake with him again. She had crossed the line and he was shouting down again. " What resich material did your master digest you look at make sense that I should look through that will you looking up the man in white." She said quietly.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
A Jedi Padawan walked up to take the Speeder from Quinn. He nodded as he handed the access Card to the Padawan and motioned Astra to follow him. "There are many references we will have to search through. Each Legacy Crystal difference is based on the Tradition it was first created in. It doesn't matter what Tradition it belongs to today. We have to find out about the very First Jedi who created it. Who they were, and how they created the Crystal."
He looked confused to her, "Astra, you need to leave the man in white alone."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" I know Quinn but you said you were going to do more research on him that's why I said I should look throw the stuff on the kiber crystals. " she said she still was not looking at him and trying to stay quiet hoping that he would prefer that. She was not sure what else to do.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He motioned for the lift and stepped in when it arrived, "I just want to make sure that you are not following after him. These RFA are no joke and I don't want to see you get in over your head."
He turned to her and smile, "it is a pretty head," he added. The lift doors opened on the library level and he stepped out. "The Hunters have a private chamber set up over here. He walked her down the stacks and Astra noticed the eyes once more on Quinn. He paid them no mind as he walked with his head up high.
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
"So you want me to give up on the missing girl, Quinn you know i cant do that right there has to be another way to get the informant I need to find her" she said hoping he would not get agitated. " I will leave the Man in white alone as long as he dose not attack us first" she said calmly. " Whats a pretty head she said confused" as she followed him feeling uncomfortable by the others stare. " Quinn?" she said quietly an reached out and put a hand on his arm as they headed to the private Chamber.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He reached the door and used his implanted Chain Code to open the door, "I am sure you will find her. Though it sounds like to me, she was arrested. I would seek the police and ask if she was in fact arrested."
Stepping through the door, he turned to her, "Yes," he said softly. Though he ignored her question about Pretty head. He only smiled at her and figured she would put it together.
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
"It was the secret police and they took her off the street after killing one of her friends. I dont think its in any kind of record or they would have told her mother about her arrest" Astra said calmly.
She looked at him then the people. "im ok just, unnerved by the staring lets get this done" she said quietly.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
He nodded, "come," he said motioning her to join him at a desk before a computer. "So we need to find out about who made the Crystal," he explained. Using his chain code, he activated the computer. "Let's do some research on Lord Hoth and see if there is a Dooku in his ranks."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" ok" she said she tiped a requst for acses to records of the people who folowed or worked with Lord Hoth.
(do i need to roll anything)
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
(computer check please)
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
Quinn nodded, "okay, here. There was a Dooku," The file brought up a picture of a handsome man in a Jedi Battle Armor, "says here, the man was a Weapon's Master. Known for combat skill and had set on the Grand Council before the war started, but resigned to join Lord Hoth and his army of the light."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
" wow that's amazing" she said. " is there anyway to get more files on him we need to know when and how he created the crystal right" Astra asked.
TheTraveler — 07/23/2021
Quinn nodded, "look, here" he said, "the man trained along side Lord Delpinium....it looks like they were close friends." He brought up an old holo of a wedding picture. "here they are. I think its Lord Delpinium's wedding."
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/23/2021
Astra Blinked "what they were friends?!" she said shocked and amazed. "I wonder what hapend between the two of them becouse now the famlys hate echother well that was untill Lord Sereno and the queen" Astra said.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/24/2021
Quinn shook his head, "from what I can tell, they were pretty close friends. There are several holos of them together beyond their normal duties."
He brought up the traditions within the Force that the two men trained under, "I am sure that they both worked under the same tradition. So that is going to help us." he took his notes.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/24/2021
"What tradition" she asked.
@TheTraveler
TheTraveler — 07/24/2021
He nodded as he took notes, "come on Astra, don't you remember your Jedi Traditions Class," he said with a smile. "Its called Cloud and Breezes," he added with a grin. "Oh wait...pretty head....I bet you were one of those kids who were too busy with the kool kids to pay attention," he laughed at his little Pretty Head joke.
@Astra Korraay
Astra Korraay — 07/24/2021
Astra glared at him " I did pay attention it's just been a while I was never very good at sitting still " she admitted. " I had to work hard keep from getting distracted" she again admitted her face turning red. " so what does the Tradition of Cloud and Breezes teach again" she asked quietly wanting more information.
@TheTraveler
((Is it possible she remembers any of this information))

Astra Korraay — 07/24/2021
Here it is used my phone to roll just now @TheTraveler
Astra Korraay — 07/24/2021
Astra grinns and get really close to quinn like uncomfortably close. " Call me pretty head again and ill kiss you" she threatened with a giggle then backed away before he could touch her. As much fun as kissing him my be she was definitely not ready for that mental shock and they had work to do anyway.
