Jedi Re synchronizing 8/29/21
Durro sits in his quarters aboard the Jupiter 1, a pot of tea before him, meditating on what he has heard over the last few days. One common anchor point in all of the branching threads... Tesara. He reaches out through the Force, without breaking meditation, and connects with her.
"Tesara. Come to my quarters. Join my meditation."
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/29/2021
Tesara had been expecting this.  If he had not reached out to her within the next hour she was going to request a meditation meeting with him herself.
I am on my way.
She arrives a moment later, her own room only just down the hall from his.  She enters his room quietly.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/29/2021
"Sit down. Have some tea." The smile was apparent with the tone of voice.

"It's been a while since we've compared notes. I know I've not been your only teacher lately, nor have I asked you what you've learned. It showed when we were planning with Sinya."
After a moment of quiet, he continues.
"You had very strong opinions about Astra's involvement and about the soundness of the plan in general. What do you know that I'm unaware of?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/29/2021
Tesara makes herself a cup of tea then sits down across from him, closing her eyes and focusing her thoughts. She takes a few moments to center herself in the Force, then opens her eyes and drinks the tea.
“It’s true that I have learned a number of things while staying at the Summer Palace with Ava and Astra and yes, Quinn Vos.  Astra herself invited him to come live at the palace. It was only the matter of about a week before the two of them fell head over heels in love with each other. I learned a great deal of information about how the hunters operate, what their mandate is, and what their philosophy is on the dark side. Since we did not have hunters in our universe, it was eye-opening indeed.”  She sips her tea then sets it down.  “Lord Hoth announced a mandate at his victory that the hunters would search, find, and rehabilitate or eradicate any dark siders. For them, there is absolutely no gray area. Either you are light or you are dark.  They work closely with the church of the force which was also founded by Lord Hoth, I believe.  The intensity with which they operate is unparalleled in our universe.”  She pauses for a moment considering her own words. “ actually my knowledge of our world off of Lanus is limited, so it is a possibility that what I just said is not true.  However, these people are trained practically from birth to learn how to observe and hunt dark siders.  They created Starlight prison as a way to….rehabilitate anyone who has been accused of dark side acts.  They are singularly focused upon eradicating the Darkside of the force.  Thousands of years of this training being passed down through generations and generations has caused it to be an impossible task to make them believe otherwise.”  She pauses again. “There is more, but I will wait to see if you have any questions about what I have said.”
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/29/2021
Durro's face does not change, he did not break meditation when Tesara entered, nor when she made tea, nor when she spoke. In her head, she hears;
"What of the vaults of carbonite slabs? Did Quinn tell you about that? How do they decide who to help, and who to freeze in a living hell?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/29/2021
She sips her tea again, thinking.  “While he himself did not speak to me of the carbonite slabs, it’s common knowledge because of the holonet shows that feature of these hunters. There have also been hundreds of those shows throughout the years and they are very popular in the core. These people are deemed heroes, and anyone they hunt is automatically evil. While I myself have never seen any of these holonet shows, the idea that darksiders are encased in Carbonite is well known.  As to how they decide my only understanding of what I have been told by Quinn as well as master Wynium at the Jedi academy on Baklid, is that anyone who does not accept their teachings/rehabilitation is deemed unsavable and encased in Carbonite.”
@Durro Thel-Tanis
(((OOC I just realized that I didn’t use your formatting of speaking in meditative state. All of that would have been in his mind!))))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/29/2021
"So the Jedi Hunters are set in their ways; generations of tradition and indocrination making it nigh impossible to help them see another way. To learn, to grow, to adapt to a changing galaxy." I can see then why Quinn would never help us on Starlight. What else have you learned? What makes my plans dangerous? What am I missing?"
@Tesara Anerin
(((OOC: I am going to bed now. I had a hard time focusing enough to type that post, and I have work in the morning. I want to have this conversation, but I need to be awake/alert. lol)))
Tesara Anerin — 08/29/2021
Not only would Quinn not have helped us but neither he or Astra would keep silent about your plan. They would have immediately reported it to the hunters and then you would be deemed dark siders.
(((OK! Will continue tomorrow)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/29/2021
"Astra knows of the plan though; she sent me a message from Ava's comm. Are you telling me that the Hunters may already know? That we shouldn't go now, because we'd be walking into a trap?"
"...That's gratitude for you. I wanted to help her bond with her crystal, help her to continue her Jedi training, and this is the thanks I get? Betrayed to the Jedi Hunters?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/29/2021
(((LOL go to bed we’ll continue tomorrow)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
@Tesara Anerin
(((I am free and ready to continue.)))
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Tesara breathes in tandem with the push and pull of the Force.  Inhaling and exhaling slowly, bringing herself back to center once more.
Yes I very much wanted to avoid you all walking into a trap.  I didn't want you going to StarLight to try and break anyone out and end up a prisoner there yourselves.  Sinya has already escaped once and even though she hates me right now, I would never want her to be sent back there again.
Durro can sense the pain inside Tesara at her betrayal of Sinya.  She had had to do it, but it had killed her.  There were rarely people she desired respect from and Sinya had been one of them.  That was a hope now gone.  She bit her lip as she felt the pain, acknowledged it and let it fade back down into a place where she would deal with it later. Then once more she brought herself back to alignment within the Force.
I understand your frustration with Astra, but you did not know any of the circumstances before agreeing to Sinya's plan nor any idea how deeply entrenched she had become with the hunters in such a short amount of time.  I was so astonished at your willingness to do this, though.  I know you want to free Queen Lenora, and that is a noble cause.  it is not one that will get you thrown into StarLight for even daring to go against the hunters.  But trying to break anyone out of StarLight... is extremely dangerous and  bordering on folly.  StarLight is a power they wield.  Even if you succeed you would be hunted to the ends of the earth and if caught, might mean carbonite, and I cannot allow that to happen to anyone, not you, not Nova or Sinya or any of her crew.
She shifted slightly.
Are you really planning on freeing Lysire's mother, Durro?
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
"...Remember what I taught you about negotiations and agreements Tesara, especially between people who disagree. A good deal between misaligned parties means nobody walks away happy. You have to give a little to get a little. You get some of what you want, and they get some of what they want. That was my mindset when making the deal with Sinya; she helps me free the Queen, I help her free their mothers. Even if I thought that freeing Lysire's mother was a bad idea, and I did think that. After what I heard a few hours ago; I am not sure that should be on the table. I would still like Sinya's help, but freeing Lysire's mother is a bad idea, as I suspected."
The Force swirls, as if Durro is gathering himself.
"Though I don't think she would be much help to them. A person frozen in carbonite is still conscience, their mind still active and awake, though they are in complete sensory deprivation. Lysire's mother has been in this state for decades; I am willing to bet her mind snapped a long time ago. As have the minds of most of the prisoners. Sinya's mother is in the general population; her rescue should be simple and I am willing to help with that. Lysire's mother..."

"...Lysire's mother is far too dangerous. Insane plan even before; now she is likely insane. Driven mad by decades of carbonite hibernation."

"Tell me more about the Hunters. What would I be in for if they pinned this jail break on me?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Tesara thinks for a moment before answering.
Before I say more on the hunters, I was considering doing a farseeing meditation that would focus solely on the Family.  The Father, The Son and The Daughter.  Ask the Force to reveal to me if what the Shaman said tonight is true or Nashik from the desert people that is right.  They are in opposition to one another.  It is possible there are truths and falsehoods on both sides.  I am relieved to hear that you agree that freeing Lysire's mother is a terrible idea.  It is also one that you will earn emnity from Sinya for.  Yes, her own mother deserves to leave with her daughter if she so chooses.  I am not altogether certain that the general population hasn't been brainwashed into believing that they are safe and protected there from the...evils? of the outer world.  So I also fear that going to Sinya's mother may result in the woman not being willing to leave.  That would break Sinya's heart.  I pray I am wrong on that.  She deserves happiness...her life has been nothing but pain and hardship.  And along those same lines, I am also not sure if the Queen will be of sound mind and body either.  It was rumored that the Sorreno Jedi tortured her mind to find the Sorreno Legacy Crystal.  There is no way of knowing if she survived with her mind intact.
Once again he can feel sorrow from her, but once again it is felt, acknowledged and set aside.
As for the hunters, if they pinned any attempt at a jail break, failed or no, if you left StarLight with or without those you intended to free, they would see it as a malicious attack upon the Light Side and immediately deem you a darksider, which makes you free game to them.  And remember, there are several clans of hunters throughout the galaxy.  A vital piece of information I have not yet revealed is that they have immense mental powers.  Quinn Vos has the ability to see inside one's mind and find the truth.  Or at least, what he sees and believes is the truth.
There are many other clans with other striking abilities in the Force.  You might never know what it is until you're caught in the net of it.
She sighs, hesitant to say this but knowing it is vital information.
Durro, they are taught DarkSide skills in order to combat those who wield them.  And I fear that the drive to hunt actually brings them so close to the Dark Side that the line becomes blurred.  Daz Murl is a perfect example of this.  He went too far by torturing Nova, was sent to StarLight and escaped.  I do not know how, but I suspect Sha Koon was involved.  Sha Koon's hunter clan has wavered to the dark side.  They would never admit it, but it's true.  I had to spend time with him in her office when she stormed out.  I kept my cool and didn't allow him to think I was anyone but a core corporate employee.  He told me a little of what had happened to him on StarLight.  They have the ability to remove the Force from someone, Durro.  Perfectly remove it as if it were never there.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
Durro is quiet for a long moment; so long that one might wonder if the connection had been severed. Finally,
"We need more information, in order to make a sound decision and form a solid plan. I still believe Lysire will be safe on Olivan, and for now Sinya seems to agree. We head there next, and I will speak with Master Palpatine and hopefully have many pressing questions answered."
After another long silence, Durro says:
"We should pool our resources. Meditate together on The Family. Would you care to join me?"
(((OOC, I believe when one is helping another, the person "doing" makes the roll, and the second person's roll determines how much of a boost the first roll gets. I believe Durro has more ranks in Farseeing, so he should make the main role. Let me long onto Roll20.)))
@Tesara Anerin
@TheTraveler

Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
(((OOC I agree, two people at once may boost our ability to learn more.  I have six ranks in farseeing for a total of 9.)))

((WOOT now we wait for Mike)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
(((Dang, you rolled high. I only rolled 12, +12 as bonus.)))
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Tesara is pleased with the idea of doing this with Durro.  Together they may find out far more information than just her alone.
Yes, I would like that.  But you know that the Olavan Jedi are those who allied with the Outer Rim Alliance and are responsible for the attacks on Baklid that began the Brushfire War?
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
"Do we know this for certain? Or was Olavan (((OOC: Is it Olivan, or Olavan?))) simply used as a staging ground? Has the Olavan Order officially sided with the ORA?"
..."I should keep up with the new more. So long as I do not believe everything I read or hear." The smile in his voice is evident.
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Whether or not they allied with the ORA or not is only rumor.  And you saw those ships arrive just as we escaped the venator?  I think those might have been from the ORA, though I cannot be sure.  I do think it would be a good idea to go to Olavan first.  Information is vital to making decisions.  I wish I could go with you, but I am fairly certain Sinya will not allow it.
Again there is sadness, and she knows he feels it.
I have a talisman I bought at the market here that I plan to imbue with the Force.  I wish I could create one for her as a peace offering, though I am not certain it would work for her as it might have to be imbued with her own life force and not mine.
She sighs heavily.
I have many emotions to deal with.  I need to spend some time processing them and allowing them to become less sharp without forcing it.
She smiles at the terrible pun she has just made.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
"You need not dull your emotions, simply acknowledge them and process them, without letting them control you. It's not always easy, and often it takes time. I'm still dealing with the emotions from being forsaken on Lanus, and discovering what the Empire did to the Jedi. Emotions are like the Force itself; beyond understanding. The best we can do is work within what we know; and what I know is that processing emotions in a healthy manner often takes time."

"Lanus is not the right place to do so, though. This planet is steeped in the Dark Side. Perhaps you could come with us to Olivan. If Sinya doesn't want to travel with you, we did just acquire a Nu- class shuttle. Class 1 hyperdrive. We could fly to Olivan separately from the Angel's Blessing. Perhaps being around other Jedi will do you good."
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Tesara nods.  Yes, I will heed your advice on the emotions.  And I'll wait to imbue the talisman until we have left.  The Jupiter One is Ava's ship and must go where she says to go.  If I can, I would very much like to go to Olavan. If I cannot do so on the Angel's Blessings, I will see about going on the shuttle.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
Durro's satisfaction can be felt through the connection.
"Alright then. On to our question. What do we want to know about the family?"
"How about... 'What is the truth about The Family; their goals and ambitions? Which Family Member is trapped in Lysire?"
"If you have a better, more concise question; please share."
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
From experience, asking more than one question muddies the waters.  We must ask ONE question that encompases our needs.  If further questions are still needed, we would have to try again another time.  Perhaps asking if the coming of the Family will bring the destruction that has been foretold?
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
"I would rather know which Family Member is inside Lysire. The Mother or The Daughter; there is a stark difference between the two."

"Though I would also like to know if they bring destruction..."

"Still, I thinking knowing who is in Lysire is vital. What do you think? Where should our priority be?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 08/30/2021
Yes, I agree that finding out the truth of what...rather who is inside Lysire is vital.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/30/2021
"Agreed, then."
Durro focuses, and Tesara with him. The Force swirls around them, like an old familiar cloak. They peer into its depths, trying to see past the swirling currents into other times, other places. One question or their shared mind; "Which member of The Family is inside Lysire?"
(((OOC: That is the official question. See above for our Farseeing rolls. (Both 24).)))
@Tesara Anerin
@TheTraveler
Durro Thel-Tanis — 08/31/2021
(((This inbetween is waiting on @TheTraveler's input. Just posting a reminder, since Movie Night distracted everyone.)))
TheTraveler — 08/31/2021
(OCC: @Durro Thel-Tanis @Tesara Anerin

Yes I know, I am working on that post.)
TheTraveler — 08/31/2021
The Force swirls around as the chanting of a few grows into many voices, a thunderous chant echoes in the mind, “Faithful Always, they shall remain.”

There were cheers that washed down from the flight deck, “Praise the Angel,” cried Jazz, “Its rain!”

“Lysire,” Sinya called back, “you’re doing it!”

The Jawas, even the Rodian were celebrating the miracle. On the canopy of the Flight deck, rain washing down with the world scape of Lanus in the background. It was raining on Lanus!

For Lysire, she sat at her station her hands gripping the edges with white knuckles. Her face strained with effort. Her eyes, her eyes were sunken and black, with tiny star like orbs somewhere in the middle of them.

There was a loud thunderclap and flash of lighting as the rainstorm grew. The cheers continued as com-traffic confirmed what the crew was seeing. It was in fact raining on Lanus, and not just here, but other cities were also reporting the miracle.

As Lysire focused beyond the moment, one of the Jawas came up to her and looked at her. The alert could be heard in its tone. Sinya replied swiftly, “give her, her medicine now!” As the Jawa set a patch on Lysire’s exposed arm, Jazz followed up, “she did her part, let her sleep.”

The echo of the broadcast fills the mind as the vision fades, “I can’t believe it, hundreds dead. The destruction is complete!
@Tesara Anerin @Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro opens his eyes as the vision fades.
"Well, that answered nothing." he says calmly, though Tesara knows him well enough to detect the faintest hint of frustration. "Who is trapped inside Lysire? A part of the Daughter, or part of the Mother?"
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara feels a surge of alarm up her spine as the vision fades away.  She hears him speak, but blinks at him.  “Did you not see the last part?”  She asks, a little astonished.  “Hundreds dead, the destruction complete? And Lysire’s eyes… did you see her eyes?”  Tesara closes her own, recalling the pinpoints of light in the blackness.  “Durro, I’m not so sure it matters anymore. Whatever or whoever it is will bring death and destruction if Lysire creates rain on Lanus.  I believe that rain may not be water, but something far more deadly.”  She says quietly.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
"I did see." Durro says softly. "I still think we need to head to Olavan, and speak with the Jedi there."
He rises to his feet, and helps Tesara stand as well.
"Perhaps there, we will find more... direct answers. First, I need to speak to Sinya."
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara takes his hand and rises.  She wipes a hand over her face, tucking her braids over her shoulder.  "Yes, Olavan is our next stop.  I know Sinya will not accept my apology, but I did what I did because of what I knew that she did not and if it keeps her and Lysire out of StarLight, I would do it again."  She sighs and steps back.  "And now I am going to go deal with all of those emotions so they don't cloud my senses later.  Let me know what the plan is so I am ready.
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro summons his lightsaber from his bag and levitates it over his open palm. The saber comes apart in mid air, and the blue kyber crystal extracts itself and levitates softly towards Tesara. The lightsaber reassembles itself and floats down onto the small table opposite the bunk.
"Here. This crystal is mine, imbued by me here on Lanus. You can feel an echo of my presence when you connect to it. Use it as a grounding presence as you meditate and work through your emotions. Know the I will always be here to guide you, in some form or another. As will the Force."
@Tesara Anerin
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara is honored by the gesture. “Thank you, master.”  She says picking it up.  It’s quiet hum in her mind is comforting.  “Just don’t go Sinya without an active weapon.”  She smiles, but there is sadness there.  “Good luck.”
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro smiles and reminds her;
"There's no such thing as 'luck.' May the Force be with you."
He gestures for the door.
"You should get some rest. Your emotions can be meditated on in the morning."
As Tesara leaves, Durro takes out his comm and sends Sinya a text message for her to see in the morning:
[Sinya, I'd like to update you on some things. Is there somewhere we can meet? -Durro.]
TheTraveler — 09/01/2021
(OOC:  @Durro Thel-Tanis @Lady Ryne Roke  I will allow you two to complete your conversion first then move to a scene with Sinya. The time of day is 4:30am)

(((00C, I think this conversation between Durro and Tesara is finished, will Nova be able to meet with us before he meets with Sinya?)))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
(((It is. So Nova catches you as you are leaving Durro's quarters. I am going to update Durro's action in light of the time of day.)))
(((@TheTraveler, I updated Durro's action. @Lady Ryne Roke can start her meeting whenever she likes. Or, it can be its own thread. Whichever is easier.)))
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova legit just got off the phone with Ava because she saw Tesara coming out of Durro's room. "Tesara~" Nova says as she catches up to her. "I didn't know you two were together and up right now. Can I have a moment of your time, both of you?" She asked as she saw Durro inside his room also awake.

(( @Tesara Anerin @Durro Thel-Tanis ))
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara is surprised to see Nova awake at this time of night, but she nods and looks back at Durro
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro walks to the door of his quarters and stands in the frame.
"What is it, Nova?"
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
"Well in light of everything, I was curious of your plans. Also Ava said she doesn't need nor want the shuttle so she said you can have it, Durro." Nova softly smiled as she slightly bounced on her feet excited.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
"How very generous." Durro says dryly. He gestures towards the common area, and begins walking for the table.
"As for our plans, they remain unchanged. We're going to Olavan. Sinya is not likely going to want passengers, so Tesara and I will take the shuttle."
He sits at the table and looks at Nova.
"Speaking of which; I'd like you to help me go over its systems, if you're willing. Help me change the security codes, disable the tracking systems from the mothership, and ensure the navicomputer is in working order. I love flying, but I'm not a career pilot, and I doubt Sinya or Ryan will help me. You are good with computers, so I thought I'd ask you."
@Tesara Anerin
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
After hearing where Durro planned to go, Nova stopped being excited. "Oh..." She then looked at Durro and Tesara. "Um well yeah I could fix the shuttle for you." She glanced at Tesara, "Ava wanted to talk to you Tesara but in light of everything, it might be better to just call her back now."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Seeing and sensing the change of energy in the room, Durro asks;
"Did you have other ideas, Nova?"
@Lady Ryne Roke

@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova sighed, "Well I guess if we all are heading in the same direction." She finally sat down. "Ava plans to go to Olavan after she is voted into the parliament. She is going there for peace talks to get them to stop attacking Baklid. She has requested the Jupiter One in a few days. So until that day comes, we are on stand-by, getting supplies and anything we can think of until she is ready."
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara frowned.  "Ava going to Olavan is dangerous, as she would have to get past the attacking ships through the shield.  And she would need highly trained security with her at all times."  She turns to Durro.  "It looks like the Angel's Blessings and your new ship will be going to Olavan and Ryan will be taking the Jupiter One back to Baklid."  She turned back to Nova.  "Is the time on Baklid such that Ava would be awake if I called her?  I would hate to wake her in the middle of the night."
@Lady Ryne Roke  @Durro Thel-Tanis
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova listened as Tesara spoke so she smiled when asked, "Yeah she is up. I didn't ask the time since it was not relevant." She then smiled softly, "Ava knows of the risks wanting to go for peace talks but she wants to and I will help her do it. I can get to work on the shuttle and make sure it is good before you leave."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro nods.
"I'll leave you to your call, then." Looking to Nova he asks,
"Do you want to go now, or wait until morning?"
He raises the hood on his cloak and makes for the door.
"Either way, I think I'll go check on the shuttle. Make sure everything is good for tomorrow."
The ramp lowers on the Jupiter 1.
@Tesara Anerin
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
"But breakfast... -sigh- I guess I should get it over with." Nova got up and stretched, "Not sure if you wanted to talk to Lysire but lucky for you, Sinya was awake. She wanted to just check up with me and verify that I was going to be neutral again." Nova got her bag of repair-working tools and computer tools then her cloak as her room was right next to the ramp.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara watched them go and returned to her room.  She closed the door behind her and looked around.  The room was small, but it had been the first place she had called home when she had left her own Lanus.  She had a room for herself at the Summer Palace of course, but this room would always hold good memories. She didn’t know how long it would be before she saw it again. She laid down on her bed and pulled up Ava‘s information on her commlink and pressed call.
@Governor Ava Forma
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava was relaxing with Astra in the room just idie chit-chat. Since Astra came in with Roza both were unable to sleep. When her comlink went off and she answer her comlink. " Hello Tesara. "
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
“Hello, Ava. “ She said quietly, not sure if she had woken Ava or not.  “How are you? I know it’s hard to be away from Nova for so long.”

Ava listened as she lean back thinking. This wasn't a frist time they been apart. " I miss her and hope she stays safe but I am doing alright. Things are finally turning out very well for me. In a couple of days I will be voted into parlament. How are you doing Tesara? "
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
Astra grinned" Tesara tell her Roza and I said Hi. Oh have her tell Durro I said hi to" she wispered. Not wanting to talk over the call and not wanting to wake the baby who was finally asleep.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara smiled.  “Hello, Ava and Roza!”  She said, loud enough for them to hear.  “I’m all right.”  She sighed. “ well, not really, but I’m coping. I told Sinya about the phone call with you and Nova. She’s furious with me. I don’t blame her, really. I did betray her. But just to try and save her from going to starlight. But still, it hurts. I really wanted her to like me. I know that sounds silly.” She sighed.  “but enough of my moping. Nova said you know wanted to speak to me about something?
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava listened to Tesara knowing how important Sinya was to Tesara. How she saw her as her friend. " nova had fill me in on that. Am so sorry to hear that. Am sure there will be a time you can redeem yourself in her eyes. " she softly spoke " yes I am planning on going to Olavon to try to stop this war in a couple days from now as a government representative. " wondering if she should include Astra or not than remember Astra was in the room and may tell her anyway. " I was planning on taking Astra with me and plan to this where we both will be safe. "
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" We should be safe as long as Master Palpaten remembered me" astra added.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara could feel tension tightening her muscles.  “Ava, I swore to protect Astra’s life with my own if need be. If you take her off world without me, and anything happens I will be….”  She cut off that thought.  “Durro and I will be flying to Olavan soon.  Can you promise me that you and Astra will be guarded every second until I can join you?”
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava opened her mouth to say Astra had been working with a lot of inner demons lately with the vision she had seen. Than closed it that discussion was for Astra to share. " wait if we are all going to end up at the same location. Why don't we just regroup and do it that way? Also I would never put  Astra in danger. I also promised the same thing to Astra. " finding herself almost calling Astra out.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara took a moment, considering all possibilities.  “Why does she want to go to Olavan when leaving Baklid might mean her death?  And why does she want to go if she knows Sinya might try to enact her plan despite all of my warnings and information?  Bringing a baby into space where a war is happening is bad enough.  The risks are so high, Ava.”
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
" does it? And all Sinya knows possibly is that Astra is on Baklid. If Astra isn't on Baklid and stays away from certain things. Than she will be fine. Leaving Roza behind wouldn't be wise which is why I would bring Fihn or have Ryan watch her or both " now thinking soloy Ryan watching roza wasn't the best idea. " Alot of things have happened here, and Astra needs time away. I know I can get us safely there and make sure the ship remains safe as well as us. However maybe with  regrouping it will ensure Astra and her baby will remain safe "
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" Tesara we need to need to speak to them some one need to try an negotiate peace and im not staying on the planet by myself. Quinn and his other left for aldaron" She said.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara set bolt upright. “What?!”
“Quinn is gone?!  He left you and Roza there!!?”
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" He had to his pack need him on aldaron. " she said. A hint of sad ness and anxiety in her voice. " I was also kinda Hoping You and Durro could help me work through some stuff. Quinn also had a vision and with his mine and Durro's combined is well hard to explain" Astra said quietly.
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
" an due to thire vision. Astra has been going though alot of things that I been helping with but could use some assistance from you Tesara. " touching lightly on it. " look we regroup, Ryan will get us safely to and off Olavon in one piece. Since he is very talented at what he does. If anyone can get us all there safely to and off Olavon it's Ryan. "
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara was up and pacing.  She heard the anxiety in Astra’s voice.  “Can you put her on the phone, Ava?”  She whispered.  “I’d like to talk to her if I may.”
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava passed the comlink carefully over to Astra. Hoping Astra would be able to convince Tesara this was a good idea. Along with other issues Astra has been facing emotionally.
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
"Hi Tesara, take a deep breath im fine. I'm no fragile princess" She said with a slight grin.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
“Astra.”  Tesara sighed.  “ you do realize I am going to kill Quinn myself for leaving you? There are enough hunters to fill a stadium and he leaves you to go to freaking Alderaan? I’m gonna give that boy a piece of my mind!  What’s this about visions?  What is going on?  Tell me everything.”  She ordered firmly.
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" He did not have a choice Tesara! You hurt him you will go through me to do it" she worked then took a deep breath. " Quinn saw his own death. He saw me raising and teaching roza. He tried to share it with me but I was able to get one clear image roza and I at his grave and there some kind of figer showed in mist..." She poused taking a deep breath. Connecting her thoughts and forcing herself to be calm. " With the information from my vision and Durro's I know that what ever is coming will end with either him dead or me. " she said finaly.
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava sip her wine as she quietly listened to the conversation. She was a little amused cause Astra had been beside her. When Tesara asked for Astra to get on the comlink. Maybe to hear Astra's voice more clearly. Ava remained silent as she just listened and enjoyed her wine. Deciding not to involve herself in this matter.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara stopped pacing.  “We’ll thats easy enough to avoid.”  She said.  “Ava?”  She called through the line. “Will you lock her up so I can handle this and NO ONE dies?  I mean, I might smack Quinn around a little bit but he’d agree he deserved it.”  She muttered.  “Astra listen to me. No one is going to die until we’re all old and senile after Roza’s 4th child is born, ok?  Don’t argue.”
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" No Tesara! No one is locking me up im done hiding im done feeling like im locked in a cage. Tesara please let's talk more about this when we meet up please. I need to get off this planet and what better thing to do the speak to the olavon order in the interest of peace. It's what iv been trains for" she said practically pleading with Tesara.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Tesara exhaled hard through her nose.  “Fine, no cages. I’ll request Colonel Pacey return to accompany you to Olavan. I’ll feel better if he’s with you.”
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
"No! Colonel Pacey stays with you if he is coming back then so are you Tesara" Astra said as calmly as possible.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
“I’m going to Olavan with Durro in the shuttle we got from Sha Koon’s ship.  I’ll meet you there. But Pacey goes where Ava directs, therefore it’s her decision, not mine.  When we meet on Olavan, we’ll discuss these visions and find the path between them. I promise.”
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
Ava smirked at Tesara's idea of locking Astra up. She had been saving that as a last resort. As she remained silent since Astra seemed to be on top of her game currently. As she listened silently she suppose they could regroup once on Olavon she had hoped sooner. However Tesara had her mind made up. " I shall inform Pacey to go with you. " since she didnt trust Durro. " if your still on Olavon, we shall see you in " trying think how long it take. Knowing she had to wait a couple of days and it may take a couple of days " several days from now. Can you please inform Ryan to return to the summer palace? "
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
“Yes of course.”  Tesara said.  “Do you have a way for him to get through the planetary shield?”
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" it should be down by then right" Astra asked.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
(((OOC I have no idea how many people would fit in that shuttle, Pacey has several men with him)))
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
" I can get him though. " ava assured Tesara.
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
“All right.  Astra, promise me you won’t do anything rash?”
Astra  Korraay — 09/01/2021
" I promise I will see you on Olivon" Astra said happy to be reuniting with tesara
Governor Ava Forma — 09/01/2021
/end?
Tesara Anerin — 09/01/2021
Yes end
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
(((End for the holocall, maybe. lol)))

Meanwhile, with the cool kids at the shuttle.
Durro lowers the boarding ramp of the shuttle and boards the craft.
"You may start what you need to in the cockpit." Durro says to Nova, as he lowers his hood. "I'll stay out of your way."
He smiles and heads to the cockpit.
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova looked at Durro, "Yeah I got it. Don't worry about me." Going to the cockpit, "So why Olavan?" She asked as she set her stuff to the side and sat in the chair for where she was going to be working.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro thinks for a moment before answering.
"Because from what I've been told Master Palpatine, who leads the order there, is a wise and reasonable Jedi Master. A lover of lore and knowledge. I'm hoping he can help us identify what is inside Lysire and how to remove it."
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
"I see, but wasn't also the Hutt from the resort, a good source of information? Wasn't he like the godfather of information or something?" Nova asked or more so mentioned in question as she began to work on changing things per Durro's request.
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro gives a wry smile.
"Non-Jedi often find Jedi matters difficult to understand at best. 'The Family,' as they are known, are mysterious even to the Jedi. I can't imagine a non-Jedi knowing much about them."
He sighs and continues.
"Besides; if you can't feel the Force, you can't exactly help us determine what is inside Lysire."
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
"Well I do know one thing, 'The Family'. Extinction level events that reduced the culture to near ruin. These events have always been attributed to this group." She said as she kept typing away, "Across several cultures in the Outer Rim, there are poems, children tales or myths of a group of destoryers who come and lay waste to the galaxy. Each culture has a different name for this group." She then looked at Durro, "Or so says the holonet."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
"Interesting." Durro muses. "My master taught me about the Family, or tried to at least. According to the Jedi of our universe they were aloof, keeping the balance of the Force from afar. Always observing, never interfering."
"I wonder if the Family exists outside of the multiverse; one family for all of the universes, or of they are duplicated here as well. If they are duplicated, are this universe's Family more involved, and more violent than the Family from our universe?"
Silence falls in the cockpit as Durro strokes his chin thoughtfully.
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova's typing was the constant in the cockpit as she typed away before breaking the silence, "Even if you and Tesara went to Olavan, I am not sure if you would be even able to see Emperor Palpatine... Jedi Master Palpatine sorry. Sure Olavan is taking skilled people right now and willing to pay them for their skills but would he even dare to show himself in front of a crowd like that? Knowing full well that spies are a thing."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
Durro gives Nova a look before answering.
"I'd not be seeing him in public, I'd ask to meet him one on one. Or with just himself and the Jedi in our group."
He watches Nova work for a moment before continuing:
"Perhaps I've not done enough research on Olavan and current events there. What have you seen? What's happening on Olavan right now?"
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova softly giggled  at his look before working some more. Being quiet again before hearing him ask about Olavan, "Only what Sinya told me after you two were kicked out of her ship. Olavan is and has been at war with the other jedi because back when Kaleb rescued Sinya from starlight, apparently Olavan was being blockaded and they wanted General Graff back or something to that extent. I could do more research however you wanted your new shuttle done." She explained as she continued with her work for a few more moments with silence before speaking again. "However I can say one thing, even showing up at Olavan's doorstep is dangerous for you right now. As the hunters think you are already in leagues with them and going there and being seen on the planet, will only confirm their suspicions."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
"I'll keep that in mind." Durro says softly. "Any research you can do after the shuttle is done would be appreciated. I'm not demanding, just asking for a favor. You're free to say no."
He looks over her shoulder at the display.
"How much do you have left, anyway? These tasks shouldn't have been too difficult."
(((Do you remember what he asked her to do? OOC, I did not think it would take long.)))
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova gave a hum and a shrug, "Nothing else to research truly." She then looked at him from the screen, "Well I was doing what you asked but also decided to see if there was any repairs required that we aren't aware of due to being sucked into space violently. Don't need another Daz coming for me to torture me to death because of a bad repair job." ((Ooc i remember but she is being thorough to make sure of no mistakes..... And i was waiting for a traveler input but he might be asleep))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/01/2021
(((Fair enough. We can call it done and see if wants any rolls/retcons tomorrow. lol I need to get to bed anyway.)))
"Smart." Durro says with a smile. "This is why I ask the expert to help. What's the damage?"
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/01/2021
Nova sighed, "Give me a moment and I will tell you what it reads."

(( @TheTraveler nova worked on changing the security codes to one for Durro, disable the tracking systems from the mothership so it can't track durro or the ship, made sure the navicomputer works fine, and did diagnosis for any repairs required elsewhere due to being sucked into space violently))
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/02/2021
Nova then read the layout she got and smiled, "Alright, everything is set up and there is no issues."
@Durro Thel-Tanis
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/02/2021
Durro smiles at Nova then looks attentive, as if a thought has just occurred to him.
"Are you capable of forging a registration? This may be a Republic shuttle, but if the registry shows it as privately owned, acquired as surplus perhaps, then we will raise fewer eyebrows on Olavan."
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/02/2021
Nova looked up at Durro, "I know how to forge stuff but I haven't had much practice. I could try but you will also need to change the colors so it is a different ship."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/02/2021
"Good point. I wonder if Sinya's friends could do so? I'll ask when I see her."
"I'll also ask about a forged registry, but if you could attempt one I would appreciate it."
(((OOC: Is that everything you want? We can end it whenever.)))
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/02/2021
Nova gave a nod, "I will make an attempt and see if it holds up, but maybe you can get one better done by someone else. It is your credits for someone else to make it." She explained as she began work on the attempt.

((We good))
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/02/2021
"Of course." Durro says with a smile. The smile becomes a conspiratorial grin. "That does mean I'll have to earn some credits. Maybe I can do some smuggling, like when we first arrived."
(((Giving you a chance to respond, before I mark this ended.)))
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/02/2021
"You could always do an inventory sweep of the shuttle and sell what you know that you won't need. Like um 10 blasters, you only need three total. One on you, one spare and another spare to replace the spare." Nova said with a cheeky smile, "Other than that, I guess you can try smuggling with this ship. It is afterall your ship now."
Durro Thel-Tanis — 09/02/2021
"I'll see what I can do." Durro says with a smile. "Thank you for your help, Nova."
(((You can reply and mark it ended.)))
@Lady Ryne Roke
Lady Ryne Roke — 09/02/2021
"Mhm, though you owe me a favor in the future." Nova said with a giggle as she worked on finishing the attempt in silence.
