Twilight Ghost

[Robbie]

Jarx watched the jedi master Fidella as he stood up and put in a data disk, "I managed to retrieve data files from a command terminal in the command center."

The room darkened as a hologram appeared, "While we retreated, I was able to manage looking more closely at its contents, and by all mean surprised at what I found."

A bunch of letters appeared on the hologram, "From the looks of this writing, the maker of that installation, is very much alive. And he has no love for either the sith or the Jedi. But he makes no mention of his name in any of his journal entries. Not one. But he does hint at other operations across the galaxy."

Jarx leaned back, "How does this concern me? I already helped you find the source of the energy signature."

"As much as I want to get away from you as you want to get away from jedi, I must point out we have a Dark Lord following the same bread crumbs we are. He was looking for something, and I think I found it."

He pressed several buttons, and a map of the galaxy appeared. There were all sorts of blinking dots, "From what I read, these are the locations of several more installations."

Jarx was looking at one in particular, and remembered something. He got up and pointed to a certain planet, "I fought on that planet when I was fighting the Republic. We combed the whole planet and never saw any installation."

Fidella just stared at Jarx, "It might be because you were more blood thirsty then curious."

Jarx sat back down, lost in his own thoughts. Fidella continued, "Right now, I believe it is our mission to find these installations, and find whatever this sith is looking for."

(Just ask questions, such as who you think the sith is, ect.)

[Sarahi Leor Qui]

Sarahi sighed. "Caution is a must. I have encounter sith many times, but he was much more powerful." She folded her hands. "What is the closest planet to our current position?"

[Ketreelawa Ochor]

Ketreelawa listened intently. This was where she might actually figure out what the group's mission was. After all, she had never known in the first place.

[Robbie]

Fidella examined the map, "We may not want to go to the closest planet, as from the looks of this chart, it is an unknown planet. And we should report to the council our findings on coruscant, where, incedently, a blinking dot is located."

Jarx spoke, "If it is true as you said about this person having no love of the jedi, I believe it would be safe to assume it is a spy installation of some sort."

[Sarahi Leor Qui]

"I don't know anyone who has a love of jedi in these times." Sarahi mumbled. "Even jedi hate jedi, which is somewhat of a paradox."

[Aurra Lunelle]

Aurra had tuned out the conversation around her, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes. She thought back to when she had first met the group; when an enemy of her father’s had planted an explosive on The Talon and her ship had exploded. She missed the familiar feel of her own ship. She missed its speed, its endurance, its power, and most of all she missed it because it was one of the only things she owned that had belonged to her father, Neil Lunelle. The name, Neil Lunelle, brought back a flood of memories to Aurra; memories from the distant past, memories of Aurra's childhood. Some of the memories brought a slight smile to Aurra’s face, and others haunted her incessantly.

Aurra knew she would not be able to hide in her past. She had to move on. As much as she missed her father and her ship, she knew she would never see them again.

Aurra stretched her arms in front of her and tried to focus on the current situation. Aurra overheard Jarx and some of the Jedi discussing their next destination. A holo-map appeared in the middle of the war room and the lights dimmed. There were several locations illuminated throughout the map. Aurra leaned closer to get a better look. None of the surrounding planets looked too familiar to Aurra.

Jarx and the Jedi seemed to be having a hard time coming to a decision. Eventually, Aurra couldn’t take the indecisivenesss any longer.

Aurra stood up and walked closer to the holo-map, pointing to a blinking location on the map, “How about we head here?” Aurra glanced around at everyone in the room, hoping no one would notice that she had picked a random location.

[Jenina Fenwyn]

Jenina blinked, looking around. She hadn't remembered coming on board...then again, she had been too distracted.

Lisa looked at the location Aurra pointed to. "I'm game to try it, if anyone else is." she said, grinning.

[Brendak Shiel]

Brendak rolled his eyes and leaned back against the wall. "I personally think that we should put a bit more thought into our next location. We need to perceive the sith's next move, through which we can discern our own." He frowned. "A random play at this point could mark our final mistake."

He shifted and glanced over at the end of the room. Sarahi Qui stood against the back wall, in a deceptively relaxed pose. Her dark glare bored into the floor and the ship's wall supported most of her weight. She looked like a predetor ready to strike the moment her prey came within sight.

A surge of warmth washed through him at the sight of her. Shivering at his own feeling, he swept it away as quickly as possible and made his way over to her.

Sarahi snapped to a standing position the moment that he laid a hand on her shoulder, her body as tense as a bow string. Crossing his arms, he managed a small smirk and rested himself against the wall beside her.

"You know," He murmured. "By any drunken's reckonings, I should be dead right now.

Brendak focused his midnight blue eyes on her's, his small smile was replaced with a look of intensity.

"Sarahi," He said softly. "You gave your life in ransome for mine. For that, and more. I honor you. And I thank you."

[Sarahi Leor Qui]

Sarahi relaxed once she heard Brendak's voice. She looked at him through the corner of her eye. "You know," He murmured. "By any drunk's reckonings, I should be dead right now.

Brendak's steady gaze intensified. "Sarahi," He said softly. "You gave your life in ransom for mine. For that, and more. I honor you. And I thank you."

She flinched. "You're honor is wasted with me, but your thanks I appreciate. Not many jedi are willing to admit when they needed help."

[Robbie]

Fidella looked at the Hologram, laying the plans out in his mind. He had to think, just like Brendak said. He finally made a decisive choice, "We will go to Coruscant, report what we found to the council, and investigate the beacon there."

Jarx listened to the Jedi master, then he looked at Kara. He almost forgot that she came along for the journey, "Sounds like a plan to me."

Fidella followed Jarx's look, and decided to ask Kara a question that had been bugging him since he first saw her demonstrate her force abilities, "Kara, if you don't mind, I have a few questions for you."

"Okay, shoot." She said.

"How long have you been living in that installation?"

"For a very long time." She answered.

"My next question is how? From this record, this master didn't like jedi or sith at all, and only let one in-"

Jarx sat up, "What?"

"Please don't interrupt me, Mandalorian. You can look at it later." Jarx leaned back, his helmet masking any emotion, "Anyways, So, how were you in?"

"I guess because I am not a jedi, and no one knew I had force powers. My father taught me them a very long time ago."

[Ketreelawa Ochor]

Ketreelawa looked down to the floor. Coruscant. . . The jedi temple doesn't even know I exsist. If we go there, what will they think I am? Who will they think I am? According to them, I died a year ago. then a serge of hope worked it's way to her mind, Talla and Master Kuuno! They will know. . . but that hope was quickly shoved away as a new thought entered her mind, if they are even alive.

[Brendak Shiel]

Brendak paused, listening to Fidella's choice. Coruscant. An interesting choice, safe, concerning that they would be out of reach of the sith, yet risky considering that they would be retreating from the enemy's position. A potentially dangerous decision, they might never have the opportunity to find the sith again.

But, at least he would get to check up on his padawan. A momentary, good-hunored scowl crossed his mouth when every worst case scenario passed through his thoughts about all of the trouble that Keline had gotten herself into while he was gone. She had better not have not let another wamp-rat into the temple gardens again..........

Shrugging off his worries, he turned to Sarahi again. "What you consider honorable and what I deem worthy are obviously two very different views," He said quietly. "But I will tell you one thing, Sarahi. The honor that is due to you is far beyond what you think."

[Sarahi Leor Qui]

"No..." Sarahi turned away. "Not since Lonn..." she stood up and walked slightly towards the group. "Coruscant; sounds like a plan to me. Let's just hope, the Force willing, that we get there safely."

[Jenina Fenwyn]

Lisa grinned. "Coruscant? Excellent."
Jenina sat down, and looked around at the others, reading their emotions.

[Saint Dane]

(Sorry I haven't written in a while, guys. Keep up the good posts everyone! )

Shaa listened to the group for a while. She had almost become one with the force by the time they decided to fly to Coruscant, and was more then happy to input the coordinates into the ship's console.
Turning back to the group, she realized how far they had come. When the group had first met, they were all a jumble of emotions and opinions, who were to tense to even sit down next to one another. Now, they all were sitting or standing peacefully among each other, controlled and ready for the next step in the mission. Tensions where still tight, but the whole group now seemed to be at least a little thawed.
Shaa smiled slightly.
