Sunrise Meditation 2/4/2022
Durro Thel-Tanis — 02/04/2022
Durro sits cross-legged on top of the black-painted hull of his shuttle; above the words Sugaan Essena painted in red aurebesh letters on the sides of the head-like cockpit. The first light of the sun gently lightens the morning sky, promising a beautiful sunrise. Durro's eyes are closed, his face focused, processing the overwhelming flood of information he had received last night. Some of Ashanti's last words still echo in his mind;
"I won't share what isn't mine to share. But the man who attacked her, he hated her like no other. I saw flashes of death in his eyes and heart."
He focuses on Hadaza, picturing the Dathomirian Zabrak in his mind. He has already peered down the river, to what she brings to the crew. Now, he wants to know what her 'Ancestor' might bring them; good or bad.
"Who was Hadaza?" he wonders. "What was she before The Crusade, and what led her to them?"
(((Durro is using Farseeing, taking 10 for a total of 24. He is looking into the Past, which I believe sets the DC at 20. See, I have been reading up on my skills. ? )))

"Seeing another place is DC 15, seeing events of the past is DC 20, and seeing events of a possible future is DC 25."
(((That is what my book says, anyway.)))

Searching the past, Durro can see echoes of worlds and events that make no sense to him. This past was alien to him, was nothing what he had felt the other times he had searched the past.
Durro saw a village hidden deep in a forest. There was children at play, a handful of female Dathomirian girls playing games between the huts while older women moved about.
In the distance, Durro saw a dozen or so starfighters. They make was as vast as their markings. And worse yet, Durro struggled to identify their designs. Though he did recognize the three heavily modified and repaired Aurek fighters under a nearby tree. Among the craft were shuttles that had been modified in to combat landing craft.
Just between the parking area and the village, a group of Dathomirian women were training a group girls. Their ages were that of older mid-agers. The girls were learning basic fighting styles. The group consisted of about twenty girls and five adult women training them. Through the village there had to been at least five to seven dozen other females.
On the far side of the village, Durro saw a large cage with males gathered. There must have been about ten of them. searching the village, he saw another twenty males. Those outside the cage seemed to move from task to task like mindless zombies. Those in the cage appeared to be more in the process of breaking.
That was when something caught Durro's eyes. There was a young man dressed in traditional Jedi Robes. Well, not traditional Knight's robes, but that of the Argo Corps. A Jedi nonetheless.
That was when he saw Hadaza walking across the village. She was as old as she is now, and carried the confidence of a seasoned warrior. She pulled another member of the Jedi Service corps behind her. This one was a female, a member of the Argo Corps as well.
"You don't know who you just pissed off, Witch" the female spat. "You think Lord Farfalla will allow this attack to go unanswered! He will burn this village to the ground, WITCH!"
Hadaza turned and backhanded the younger woman knocking her to the ground. Hadaza used the chain and collar to pull the woman to her knees, "know this, when the slavers come, you will fetch and high price. Deny me that price with your mouth, I will ensure you are used to please the males.....all of them!"
It was then that the landing area exploded in a ball of flames. Durro looked up just in time to see a second pair of Jedi Stealth fighters passing over the landing area and more explosions ripping the craft to shreads.
Three shuttles made their pass over the village as dozens of Jedi Hunters descended upon the village. Durro knew that the Hunters had a reputation for what they did, now he saw first hand how that reputation was earned. These Jedi Hunters cut down the witches before they could even mount a defense. The Stealth fighters made precision attacks to keep them from forming up defensive lines. Within fifteen minutes the brutality of the attack was over.
Every witch older than midager had been slaughtered. While the children were gathered up and taken aboard the shuttles. The males were processed the two Jedi Agro Corps members liberated.
Long after the slaughter, and after the Jedi had left, Durro saw a single shuttle land. A group of men exited the shuttle, one wore a dated suite. They moved through the bodies doing something rather interesting. They were testing the bodies for Midi-chlorians.
The man in the suite was waved over to Hadaza's body and shown the results, "this one will also do nicely. Freeze her and the others." He turned to the rest, "we have what we came for. Its time to leave."

As the vision fade but before he exits his meditation, Durro hears a male voice (INT Check DC 20), "Follow the Force, I am waiting."
