NJO 003 Main

Caleb, 7:27 PM

So previously you all got out of the sith temple apparantly passing some test the Jedi seemed to imply they had set you also met some of the new trainees who landed after your group.

Caleb, 7:29 PM

Two weeks have passed since then and you all have done various things on top of the meditation, philosophy and combat training

Caleb, 7:31 PM

Also about a week In to your stay you notice that the entrances to the sith temple were all sealed up.

Esren'nilos, 7:32 PM

Esren'nilos makes note of that

Zubaidah, 7:32 PM

Zubaidah is very relieved!

Caleb, 7:33 PM

You also notice very few people have lightsabers which the Jedi have said will be addressed

Caleb, 7:33 PM

So it is the start of a new day you wake up from wherever you rested (the ship, the woods, the stone beds of the temple)

Zubaidah, 7:35 PM

Zubaidah washes up and gets dressed!

Coil, 7:36 PM

Coil does as well. He only has like two sets of clothes.

Esren'nilos, 7:36 PM

Esren'nilos readies himself in his bedroom and then heads out to get breakfast.

Esren'nilos, 7:36 PM

"Good morning!"

Zubaidah, 7:37 PM

Are you sure? I'm not sure yet.

Esren'nilos, 7:38 PM

"It's more of a hope than a promise."

Zubaidah, 7:40 PM

Oh, I see.

Esren'nilos, 7:40 PM

Esren'nilos will get a glass of milk for himself.

Zubaidah, 7:42 PM

Zubaidah gets a bunch of food and probably kaf.

Esren'nilos, 7:42 PM

((Is the milk blue?))

Vella, 7:43 PM

Vella appears, wearing her suit, but notably leaving the outer environmental suit on the ship. No use for that on a planet. She appears about as drowsy as ever.

Zubaidah, 7:43 PM

Hi, Vella!

Esren'nilos, 7:43 PM

"Good morning!"

Vella, 7:44 PM

A thumbs-up. This seems to be her go-to greeting or acknowledgement.

Caleb, 7:45 PM

(( there is both blue bantha milk and white Nerf milk))

Zubaidah, 7:46 PM

Zubaidah eats breakfast!

Caleb, 7:46 PM

Most of the others are also eating breakfast mainly keeping to themselves

Caleb, 7:47 PM

It is a little early in the morning

Esren'nilos, 7:47 PM

Esren'nilos eats breakfast as well

Zubaidah, 7:47 PM

Zubaidah waves to anyone who meets her eyes.

Coil, 7:47 PM

Coil waves back, but is mostly quietly nibbling some food and reading a datapad.

Vella, 7:48 PM

Vella will also eat breakfast, although she seems cautious of most foods.

Caleb, 7:51 PM

You get waves back from Voro and Wyen Zubi.

Esren'nilos, 7:52 PM

"Making friends?"

Zubaidah, 7:52 PM

Of course!

Zubaidah, 7:53 PM

There are so many nice people here.

Zubaidah, 7:54 PM

Don't you think?

Esren'nilos, 7:54 PM

"I'm not sure.  I've been a little more focused on my studies."

Zubaidah, 7:54 PM

I can finally meditate now.

Coil, 7:54 PM

What was the problem before?

Zubaidah, 7:55 PM

Zubaidah sticks her tongue out.

Zubaidah, 7:55 PM

I got distracted a lot.

Zubaidah, 7:56 PM

But it was amazing, I could feel everyone.

Coil, 7:56 PM

Impressive. How far out?

Zubaidah, 7:56 PM

… out?

Esren'nilos, 7:56 PM

Esren'nilos raises an eye...ridge? Brow? Whatever twi'leks have.

Coil, 7:57 PM

I mean, were you sensing people from the camp? ON the planet? Throughout the entire universe?

Zubaidah, 7:57 PM

I don't know. Everyone here, all the animals and things.

Zubaidah, 7:57 PM

Oh no, just the temple and the camp and the area around them.

Esren'nilos, 7:58 PM

"What do you feel when you sense them?"

Zubaidah, 7:59 PM

Oh, just... how they're feeling, what they're doing.

Zubaidah, 8:00 PM

There are a lot more animals than you'd think.

Esren'nilos, 8:00 PM

"Interesting.  I can only sense people in the room.  I wonder if I could go out that far."

Zubaidah, 8:01 PM

Probably!

Zubaidah, 8:02 PM

I'm not very good at most of this stuff.

Esren'nilos, 8:02 PM

((Are we in the temple?))

Zubaidah, 8:02 PM

And then the Sith Temple came up and knocked me over.

Coil, 8:02 PM

SEems rude.

Esren'nilos, 8:03 PM

"What does?"

Zubaidah, 8:03 PM

It hurt, but  I fixed it.

Coil, 8:03 PM

You fixed the Sith Temple?

Caleb, 8:03 PM

((Yes in the temple in a side room that has been turned into a kind of cafeteria))

Zubaidah, 8:03 PM

I wish I could. No, I fixed me. The bruises and scrapes and all that.

Coil, 8:03 PM

Oh. Healing. Very useful.

Zubaidah, 8:05 PM

Anybody can do that.

Esren'nilos, 8:05 PM

Esren'nilos closes his eyes and seems to be concentrating.

Coil, 8:05 PM

I can't. Not without, you know. Bandages and medpacs.

Zubaidah, 8:06 PM

Oh. … well, if you ever get hurt, let me know, I can show you how.

Zubaidah, 8:08 PM

I don't know if I could do it to someone else.

Zubaidah, 8:10 PM

... but maybe.

Esren'nilos, 8:12 PM

Esren'nilos looks over at Li-Geba.

Caleb, 8:13 PM

You see Li-geba looking over a couple datapads and grumbling under his breath

Esren'nilos, 8:13 PM

"...interesting."

Zubaidah, 8:14 PM

What is?

Coil, 8:14 PM

Coil raises an eyebrow.

Esren'nilos, 8:15 PM

"Li seems frustrated.  ...I feel I should check in."

Esren'nilos, 8:16 PM

Esren'nilos goes over to Li-Geba.

Zubaidah, 8:16 PM

It's always good to help!

Caleb, 8:18 PM

Voro catches you as you approach “sometimes best just to let him work through it”

Zubaidah, 8:18 PM

I wonder if you can send people good vibes through the Force.

Esren'nilos, 8:18 PM

"I just thought thought he might like someone to bounce ideas off of."

Coil, 8:19 PM

I don't see why not, as long as its not unwelcome.

Caleb, 8:20 PM

Voro: you can try.

Zubaidah, 8:21 PM

Zubaidah does try!

Esren'nilos, 8:21 PM

Esren'nilos goes over. "Something wrong?"

Esren'nilos, 8:26 PM

"...Li?  You ok?"

Caleb, 8:26 PM

Li-geba keeps looking at different datapads finally looking up at you

Caleb, 8:27 PM

Li-geba: oh hello Esren didn’t see you.

Esren'nilos, 8:27 PM

"Not an issue.  You seemed frustrated.  New logs?  ...or...new to you, at least?

Caleb, 8:29 PM

Li-geba: logs that seem to be coded in some code that I don’t have a key too

Caleb, 8:30 PM

He passes a datapad to you while it is written in basic it appears to just be gibberish.

Zubaidah, 8:30 PM

((Can Coil and I hear this stuff or no?))

Esren'nilos, 8:31 PM

((I thought you came over with me.))

Caleb, 8:31 PM

(( yeah it’s just at the table next to you ))

Esren'nilos, 8:31 PM

Esren'nilos looks it over. "Where'd you get ahold of these ones?"

Zubaidah, 8:32 PM

Zubaidah peers at it too, in that case!

Caleb, 8:36 PM

li-geba: T he data is part of what was recovered from that wreck

Zubaidah, 8:37 PM

I don't know what any of that means.

Esren'nilos, 8:38 PM

((Can I find any patterns in the symbols?))

Esren'nilos, 8:38 PM

"Perhaps intentionally scrambled.  An old code no one uses anymore."

Caleb, 8:39 PM

((Roll me intelligence))

Esren'nilos, 8:39 PM

((Natural 1!))

Zubaidah, 8:39 PM

((4! We are both SUPER SMART.))

Zubaidah, 8:39 PM

((Coil, save us!))

Coil, 8:40 PM

(I refuse.)

Coil, 8:40 PM

(6)

Caleb, 8:41 PM

You all look over the datapad and can’t make any patterns out it looks like complete nonsense.

Esren'nilos, 8:41 PM

"Your frustration makes sense.  And that's about all the sense I can make of it."

Zubaidah, 8:41 PM

I don't know. Are you sure you're looking at it the right why up?

Esren'nilos, 8:46 PM

"I am sorry.  I'm not sure where to begin with this.  If it were another language, we could attempt to research dialects...but it appears to be basic."

Caleb, 8:48 PM

Li-geba: that’s fine will keep working on it

Esren'nilos, 8:49 PM

"If I can help let me know.  And if I think of anything, I will get back to you."

Caleb, 8:52 PM

About now the Jedi come and get everyone together

Caleb, 8:55 PM

Jedi mindit: so instead of training today, to address the fact that very few of you have lightsabers we will be letting you go to find crystals to make lightsabers so we can continue the training.

Zubaidah, 8:55 PM

Oh wow, neat!

Coil, 8:55 PM

There are crystals here?

Caleb, 8:55 PM

Jedi Ugris: a list of potential planets and coordinates will be provided any clarification you can always consult us.

Coil, 8:56 PM

Coil nods.

Esren'nilos, 8:57 PM

"So we fly to get the crystals?  Good thing we have a ship."

Zubaidah, 8:58 PM

Good thing Coil can fly us!

Zubaidah, 8:58 PM

Or maybe Vella.

Vella, 9:01 PM

Vella seems a little uncertain, but nods.

Coil, 9:01 PM

We can get us wherever we need to go.

Coil, 9:01 PM

Coil looks at the list of coordinates.

Esren'nilos, 9:02 PM

"Do we need hilts first?  Or should you come back afterwards to make them?"

Zubaidah, 9:02 PM

Coil needs a lightsaber!

Caleb, 9:06 PM

Jedi mindit: find the crystals first and bring them back

Esren'nilos, 9:06 PM

Esren'nilos nods

Esren'nilos, 9:07 PM

"Well, let's get cracking.  Coil, I think it's only fair you get first shot at the crystal."

Zubaidah, 9:08 PM

Are they hard to find?

Zubaidah, 9:08 PM

Well, the rest of us have lightsabers.

Zubaidah, 9:09 PM

So we can bring back crystals for anyone else.

Coil, 9:10 PM

Ossus.

Zubaidah, 9:10 PM

Ossus?

Coil, 9:11 PM

It was once the center of the Jedi Order, thousands of years ago. A Sith Lord named Exar Kun caused the system's sun to go supernova.

Esren'nilos, 9:13 PM

"So, a good place to check?"

Zubaidah, 9:13 PM

... Sith can make suns go supernova???

Zubaidah, 9:13 PM

How are there any Jedi left?

Esren'nilos, 9:14 PM

"I don't believe they can ALL do it."

Coil, 9:14 PM

No. Exar Kun was very powerful.

Zubaidah, 9:14 PM

Oh. Oh, good. If we're all going to be Jedi.

Esren'nilos, 9:16 PM

"Some Jedi can gain enough power to be just as destructive...in their own ways."

Esren'nilos, 9:16 PM

"But only a VERY few."

Zubaidah, 9:18 PM

I don't think I want to explode a sun.

Coil, 9:19 PM

I don't think it's the sort of thing you can do accidentally. All the stories indicate that the ancient Jedi and Sith used to do really insane things.

Esren'nilos, 9:19 PM

"...so...I should probably mention...it might be a good idea if I get one of those crystals as well."

Zubaidah, 9:19 PM

Why?

Esren'nilos, 9:19 PM

"The crystal in mine's not real.  Least, not anymore."

Zubaidah, 9:20 PM

Not real?

Zubaidah, 9:20 PM

How?

Esren'nilos, 9:20 PM

"I managed to get a hold of a synthesized one long before coming here, but I can't be sure of the source and my lightsaber has a certain risk of exploding if I activate it."

Caleb, 9:21 PM

Li-geba : you can manufacture syntehsized crystals but yeah they aren’t the most stable

Zubaidah, 9:21 PM

... and you kept using it?

Esren'nilos, 9:21 PM

"Oh!  Hi, Li.  I did not realize you were still here with us."

Esren'nilos, 9:22 PM

"And no.  You may not have noticed, but I haven't used my lightsaber once since."

Esren'nilos, 9:22 PM

"It's more of an...emergency situations only sort of thing.  And often the threat of it is enough to keep bandits away."

Zubaidah, 9:23 PM

There are bandits here?

Esren'nilos, 9:24 PM

"...not here, probably.  But like...in existence."

Zubaidah, 9:24 PM

How often do you get attacked by bandits?

Esren'nilos, 9:24 PM

"I don't.  I have a lightsaber."

Zubaidah, 9:25 PM

Oh.

Zubaidah, 9:25 PM

... I suppose that makes sense.

Zubaidah, 9:25 PM

So we're going to Ossus?

Coil, 9:27 PM

We should try Dantooine first. Ossus is further away, but there's been a Jedi Enclave on Dantooine on and off for a long time.

Zubaidah, 9:27 PM

Oh, all right.

Zubaidah, 9:27 PM

Li-Geba, are you coming with us?

Esren'nilos, 9:28 PM

"You and Voro are free to join us if you like."

Coil, 9:28 PM

Coil nods. "Plenty of room on the ship."

Zubaidah, 9:28 PM

We have snacks!

Caleb, 9:29 PM

Li- geba : sure always meant to visit  some of the actual Jedi locations.

Zubaidah, 9:31 PM

Great! Let's go!

Esren'nilos, 9:32 PM

Esren'nilos nods and heads aboard.

Zubaidah, 9:32 PM

Zubaidah follows.

Zubaidah, 9:33 PM

I wonder if I could catch one of the tookas.

Esren'nilos, 9:33 PM

"Tookas?"

Zubaidah, 9:33 PM

The little cats hanging around.

Caleb, 9:34 PM

Li-geba and Voro show up and take a section of one of the cargo bays.

Zubaidah, 9:34 PM

Ships need cats!

Esren'nilos, 9:35 PM

Esren'nilos smiles

Zubaidah, 9:35 PM

Maybe I should just try to feed one for a while.

Esren'nilos, 9:36 PM

"If you're going to catch one, you'd better feed it."

Zubaidah, 9:36 PM

Oh of course I'd feed it if it were here. I doubt there are enough pests to sustain a cat.

Zubaidah, 9:37 PM

... hopefully.

Zubaidah, 9:37 PM

((Smash cut to us killing lizard monsters in the basement.))

Esren'nilos, 9:38 PM

"Slavers are not known for keeping their ships free of vermin."

Zubaidah, 9:39 PM

But we're not slavers. So we need at least one ship's cat.

Coil, 9:39 PM

Coil nods.

Esren'nilos, 9:40 PM

"Welcome aboard, Li.  Voro.  Get ready for non-stop Zubi."

Zubaidah, 9:40 PM

.... non-stop?

Esren'nilos, 9:41 PM

"I mean it in a positive sense."

Zubaidah, 9:42 PM

... do I talk too much? Should I talk less?

Vella, 9:43 PM

Vella types something out.

I suppose your speech makes up for my silence.

Esren'nilos, 9:44 PM

"Everyone should keep talking as much or little as they do."

Zubaidah, 9:44 PM

Well, as long as you're sure. I don't want to bother anyone.

Coil, 9:45 PM

You're not irritating.

Coil, 9:45 PM

And you're very considerate.

Zubaidah, 9:47 PM

Well, all right, but if you change your mind let me know.

Zubaidah, 9:47 PM

Do we need to do anything to help fly the ship?

Coil, 9:48 PM

Not really. We're not navigating any asteroid fields, we're pretty much plugging in the coodiantes and letting the Hyperdrive handle it.

Zubaidah, 9:48 PM

Oh. That's nice. Does anyone want to play holochess?

Esren'nilos, 9:49 PM

"I'm game."

Zubaidah, 9:51 PM

Great!

Zubaidah, 9:51 PM

Zubaidah will do that til they get where they're going. With anyone who'll play.

Esren'nilos, 9:51 PM

Esren'nilos plays

Zubaidah, 9:53 PM

Zubaidah plays it more like it's poker than chess, and relies on her grasp of her opponent's feelings to decide what to do next.

Esren'nilos, 9:54 PM

Esren'nilos uses sense emotions as well to counter!

Esren'nilos, 9:54 PM

((Did we both make empaths?!?))

Caleb, 9:54 PM

So you all board the ship and set course for Dantooine

Zubaidah, 9:55 PM

((Zubs doesn't need to use the Force to do it.))

Zubaidah, 9:58 PM

Zubaidah plays board games, or card games with anybody on the way.

Esren'nilos, 10:02 PM

Esren'nilos will do this intermittently with meditating in his room.

Caleb, 10:03 PM

You all come out of hyperspace and see Dantooine but you also see what looks like a supply convoy being attacked

Caleb, 10:03 PM

And that is where we will end it for tonight
