NJO 008

CalebToday at 7:15 PM

So previously you all returned to the Jedi enclave to do a little more digging into what was going on there

[7:16 PM]

You ended up being ambushed by 3 droidekas that you managed to dispatch rather easily by taking them out before they generated shield bubbles(edited)

[7:18 PM]

You then found some things around the room and a lead from a computer terminal somehow whatever is going on seems linked to either a first order resurgence or something to do with the confederacy of independent planets from the clone wars era

[7:19 PM]

You did manage to get two planets out of the computer before it melted on Esren .New Plymoto and Hypori

[7:20 PM]

You all decided  to go back to the Jedi temple on Ashas Ree and check in

[7:20 PM]

On the way back everyone managed to finally make a lightsaber or get an old one working

ZubaidahToday at 7:20 PM

was outvoted.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:21 PM

((Yep))

[7:21 PM]

"So, what's our story?"

ZubaidahToday at 7:23 PM

... story?

CoilToday at 7:23 PM

Why do we need a story?

Esren'NilosToday at 7:24 PM

"...so, we want to tell them that we went into a dangerous Jedi temple turned First Order base...twice?"

CoilToday at 7:24 PM

Why not?

ZubaidahToday at 7:25 PM

Well, we did.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:25 PM

"It just...strikes me as something they'll disapprove of."

ZubaidahToday at 7:25 PM

So?

Esren'NilosToday at 7:25 PM

"I don't want to lose their trust."

[7:25 PM]

"I want them to feel they can count on me."

ZubaidahToday at 7:26 PM

Well then we shouldn't've done it. It's much too late to worry about that now.

[7:26 PM]

Besides, you don't win anybody's trust by fibbing.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:26 PM

"You do if they never find out."

ZubaidahToday at 7:26 PM

They'll definitely find out.

CoilToday at 7:27 PM

That ship launched when we snuck into the Sith temple within a day of showing up.

ZubaidahToday at 7:27 PM

Besides, we didn't do anything wrong.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:27 PM

"...I'll follow your lead on this."

CalebToday at 7:28 PM

You all come out of hyperspace around the somewhat familiar green forestry planet of Ashas Ree

ZubaidahToday at 7:29 PM

((I forget, do we need to pick up those other guys or did we do that already?))

CalebToday at 7:29 PM

((They left on there own))

Esren'NilosToday at 7:29 PM

((I believe they hitched a ride back on their own))

CalebToday at 7:30 PM

Roll me perception

Esren'NilosToday at 7:31 PM

((12))

ZubaidahToday at 7:32 PM

((10!))

CoilToday at 7:33 PM

((7.  And this is supposedly something I should be good at, but I rlled a 1.))

1

CalebToday at 7:34 PM

Esren you think you see something as you enter the system but you blink and next time you look out you just see empty space

[7:35 PM]

You all come in for a landing and there are no other ships visible at the landing area

Esren'NilosToday at 7:35 PM

"...we're being honest at all times now, right?"

CoilToday at 7:35 PM

It's usually easier.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:36 PM

"Even in instances that maybe be strange or imply insanity?"

ZubaidahToday at 7:36 PM

Sure!

Esren'NilosToday at 7:36 PM

"...I think I saw something as we exited hyperspace."

[7:37 PM]

"Not sure what it was and then it was just...gone."

ZubaidahToday at 7:37 PM

Oh. That doesn't sound insane anyway.

[7:37 PM]

Maybe it was a ship that just left.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:39 PM

"...possible."

ZubaidahToday at 7:40 PM

((Or one of those space whales.))

[7:41 PM]

Or something else! I don't know.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:41 PM

"...could also just be a glint, I suppose."

[7:41 PM]

"Just...paranoid, I guess."

ZubaidahToday at 7:43 PM

hops out of the ship and starts looking for the Jedi.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:44 PM

will follow

CalebToday at 7:44 PM

You start heading towards the temple

CoilToday at 7:45 PM

gets the ship parked, then joins the others.

CalebToday at 7:46 PM

You see no evidence of anyone as you walk along the path

ZubaidahToday at 7:47 PM

tries to find them with the Force!

CalebToday at 7:47 PM

Reaching the temple you see Jedi Mindit

Esren'NilosToday at 7:47 PM

"Master Jedi."

[7:47 PM]

bows as he approaches

ZubaidahToday at 7:47 PM

We're back!

CalebToday at 7:48 PM

Jedi mindit: you have returned did you manage to retrieve crystals?

ZubaidahToday at 7:48 PM

Yes! And we all made lightsabers. Well I made a little tiny one.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:49 PM

"We were very excited.  And, it turns out that Zubi's quite adept at construction."

ZubaidahToday at 7:49 PM

I'm really not, I just tried to hear it without listening to it.

[7:49 PM]

And we found a creepy old temple with creepy old First Order stuff in it.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:50 PM

"And also Confederacy stuff."

CoilToday at 7:50 PM

Someone was cloning.

CalebToday at 7:50 PM

Mindit : intriguing, worrying ,but intriguing

Esren'NilosToday at 7:51 PM

"...and um...someone seemed to know we were there."

CalebToday at 7:51 PM

Jedi Ugris shows up at this point with a pot of tea

ZubaidahToday at 7:51 PM

They were cloning Knights of Ren.

[7:52 PM]

looks at Esren. "Right?"

Esren'NilosToday at 7:52 PM

nods.

CalebToday at 7:53 PM

Ugris: not good clones  though if your survival is anything to go by.

ZubaidahToday at 7:53 PM

Well, no.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:53 PM

"The clones seemed incomplete.  And the place seemed largely abandoned."

[7:54 PM]

"...largely."

CalebToday at 7:54 PM

Ugris: you all went to ... Dantooine right?

ZubaidahToday at 7:54 PM

nodnodnods.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:54 PM

"We did."

CalebToday at 7:56 PM

Mindit: if we could get access to the old Jedi records on Coruscant we might be able to see if there is any information there.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:57 PM

"...you can't?"

ZubaidahToday at 7:57 PM

We could go!

CoilToday at 7:58 PM

Makes sense, we're the ones that uncovered all this.

Esren'NilosToday at 7:59 PM

"What would we need to do to access these records?"

ZubaidahToday at 8:01 PM

We got two goats. And a speeder. Coil fixed it twice.

CoilToday at 8:02 PM

I still have to fix it a third.

CalebToday at 8:02 PM

Ugris : First  you have to get onto Coruscant and they are rather strict about who can get in nowadays.

CoilToday at 8:02 PM

I might be able to get us in.

ZubaidahToday at 8:03 PM

I'm sure they'll let us in.

CalebToday at 8:03 PM

Ugris : once there as far as I know they haven’t resolved the temple down but they may have, the record banks are on a lower level if it has to do with the confederacy you should find some information there

Esren'NilosToday at 8:04 PM

"I see.  Sounds like a piece of cake."

ZubaidahToday at 8:05 PM

... that reminds me, we should bake a cake.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:06 PM

".........you have an odd sense of focus."

CalebToday at 8:07 PM

Mindit: anything else happen?

ZubaidahToday at 8:07 PM

Didn't you say you didn't know what your favorite kind of cake is?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:08 PM

"...someone vandalized the temple after we left the first time.  They left a message for us to find...after we returned."

ZubaidahToday at 8:08 PM

Um, we beat up two cloned Knights of Ren, we found something about two planets New Plympto and Hypori in the consoles, then we were attacked by droids and we destroyed them but there was a scary voice that threatened us.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:08 PM

"Yes, that."

ZubaidahToday at 8:10 PM

And to get the crystals we distracted the bugs and Coil went in and got the crystals so we didn't even have to hurt any of them.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:10 PM

"Well...one."

ZubaidahToday at 8:11 PM

Oh, right, I forgot about that one.

[8:11 PM]

But not most of them.

CalebToday at 8:11 PM

Both the Jedi look at each other

[8:12 PM]

Mindit: let us know if you are heading out we will stay here for the others to return

ZubaidahToday at 8:13 PM

Okay!

CoilToday at 8:13 PM

looks oddly at the Jedi, then shrugs. "We're not going anywhere until I get the speeder actually fixed.

ZubaidahToday at 8:14 PM

We need to find some goat feed.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:14 PM

"...why are you diverting the choice to go to us?"

[8:14 PM]

"...as our teachers should it not be your choice what assignments we do or don't receive?"

ZubaidahToday at 8:14 PM

eyes Esren.

[8:15 PM]

... you had crappy teachers.

CoilToday at 8:15 PM

He's not wrong. This is generally how teaching goes, the mentor sets the lessons and schedules.

ZubaidahToday at 8:16 PM

... huh. Mine didn't.

CalebToday at 8:16 PM

Mindit: the force doesn’t work like that  think of what you have found we show paths and options to aid. The choice is yours

[8:16 PM]

The Jedi head off deeper into the temple

CoilToday at 8:17 PM

They're not very good teachers.

ZubaidahToday at 8:17 PM

Well, maybe we can learn things on our own anyway.

CoilToday at 8:18 PM

Teachers teach you things. They don't just nod sagely and spout platitudes as you  gain experience naturally.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:18 PM

((...can I sense their emotions?))

CalebToday at 8:19 PM

Roll me wisdom check with advantage

ZubaidahToday at 8:19 PM

Maybe they haven't taught people before?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:20 PM

((Natural 20))

[8:20 PM]

((22 total))

[8:20 PM]

((I think you can PM me by clicking on my name))

CalebToday at 8:24 PM

Esren for the first time you do sense something other than calmness from the jedi but it feels faint like you can barely sense it  Mindit and Ugris you get a sense that something really shook them you also sense a low level amount of fear from Mindit and anger from Ugris.

1

[8:25 PM]

((trying the Spoiler thing for now))

Esren'NilosToday at 8:25 PM

((I think it worked!))

[8:25 PM]

((So, gentleperson's agreement, we only click spoilers our character would know.))(edited)

1

[8:28 PM]

furrows his brow. "Something's...we should get that speeder fixed."

ZubaidahToday at 8:28 PM

... what's wrong? Are you okay?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:29 PM

"...they're not ok.  They're...every time I have felt them before, they were still, calm, reserved.  Very...Jedi.  But now...anger...fear."

[8:29 PM]

"...I worry they know something."

ZubaidahToday at 8:29 PM

Like what?

CoilToday at 8:29 PM

Didn't the Knights of Ren wipe out the last Jedi Academy?

[8:30 PM]

They probably have some baggage.

ZubaidahToday at 8:30 PM

Well, yes. But they didn't yell or anything. I'm sure it'll be fine?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:31 PM

nods...but doesn't seem very certain.

ZubaidahToday at 8:32 PM

Look, if they get really mad at you we'll just tell them you're better now and you know you were wrong and you need help to learn.

CoilToday at 8:32 PM

Do you think it was directed at you?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:32 PM

"No...but I think it means...something more."

[8:33 PM]

"...I can't place it, but I've felt odd ever since we got back to this system.  First there's that blip, now they're being weird...I feel something's not right."

ZubaidahToday at 8:34 PM

... maybe we should go after them.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:34 PM

"If they'd needed us to know, they would've told us."

ZubaidahToday at 8:34 PM

Yes, but maybe we need us to know.

CoilToday at 8:35 PM

They barely talk to us. They're not going to let anything 'slip'.

ZubaidahToday at 8:35 PM

Do you think they're doing something bad?

Esren'NilosToday at 8:36 PM

"No...but I think they know more than they're saying."

[8:37 PM]

"...I don't think it was nefarious.  But I sense pain there."

ZubaidahToday at 8:37 PM

Oh. Well, they might've known people who were killed.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:38 PM

"Possible.  More reason not to share my history."

[8:38 PM]

"Anyway, I think it's abundantly clear they do want us to go to Coruscant."

ZubaidahToday at 8:39 PM

It might be fun!

Esren'NilosToday at 8:39 PM

"And dangerous."

[8:40 PM]

"Coil, you said you believe you have an in?"

CoilToday at 8:40 PM

I'd better get to work on the speeder.

[8:40 PM]

Yeah. I can get us fake IDs.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:40 PM

"Oh, that'd be handy."

ZubaidahToday at 8:40 PM

Couldn't we just ask?

CoilToday at 8:41 PM

Not if they're screening.

ZubaidahToday at 8:42 PM

I don't know, people usually let me go places. But I haven't been there before, so.

CoilToday at 8:42 PM

Well, we can let you try and ask, and if that doesn't work, we'll have fake IDs.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:42 PM

"Fake IDs could at least be a backup plan."

[8:43 PM]

"Exactly."

ZubaidahToday at 8:43 PM

Okay!

Esren'NilosToday at 8:44 PM

activates his lightsaber.

[8:44 PM]

"Oh...it does feel good to not have it burning me anymore."

CalebToday at 8:45 PM

Esrens lightsaber ignites with a snap and a hiss

ZubaidahToday at 8:45 PM

It's a pretty color, too.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:48 PM

"It wasn't quite what I was trying for.  I was told that yellow was the color of a proper sentinel back in the day.  ...guess I didn't get all the red out."

ZubaidahToday at 8:48 PM

Well, being proper is boring anyway.

[8:48 PM]

smiles at him.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:48 PM

smiles back

CoilToday at 8:49 PM

goes to fix the speeder.

ZubaidahToday at 8:50 PM

That's why hardly anybody does it.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:50 PM

"...you will still not tell the Jedi about my teacher, will you?  I...still feel it is better for people to not know."

ZubaidahToday at 8:50 PM

Well, I won't if they don't ask, but I think you should tell them yourself. Otherwise they might find out at the worst possible moment and get really mad.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:51 PM

"And if they find out now, they likely won't give me the chance."

CalebToday at 8:51 PM

((Roll me technology with advantage Coil))(edited)

ZubaidahToday at 8:52 PM

Sure they will. They're not mean.

CoilToday at 8:52 PM

(19))

Esren'NilosToday at 8:52 PM

"You don't have to be mean to act mean, sometimes."

ZubaidahToday at 8:53 PM

Well, no. I mean they might yell a little, but you're not that afraid of them, are you?

CalebToday at 8:53 PM

You manage to in about 20 minutes or so to fix the speeder back from scrap heap to operational P.O.S.(edited)

ZubaidahToday at 8:53 PM

meanwhile goes out to collect some good vegetation for the goats.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:54 PM

does not respond to Zubi.

CalebToday at 8:54 PM

Roll me investigation Zubi

ZubaidahToday at 8:54 PM

I mean, we'd be there with you, I'm sure they wouldn't hurt all of us.

[8:55 PM]

((4, unless I somehow had advantage, maybe from living here and having wandered around a lot previously?))

CalebToday at 8:56 PM

Zubi you pick up quite A collection of vegetation you think will be good for the space goats.

ZubaidahToday at 8:57 PM

makes sure to check the computer to see if they're poisonous.

[8:57 PM]

has raised animals before.

CalebToday at 8:58 PM

About half of what you picked seems like it might not be good for the space goats but half of it you think will be fine

ZubaidahToday at 8:58 PM

drags Esren with her to help with the goat food search, too. Would drag Coil if he weren't busy.

[8:59 PM]

tosses the bad stuff.

Esren'NilosToday at 8:59 PM

"GAH!"

[8:59 PM]

"Ok, fine.  Goat food.  On it."

[9:00 PM]

helps

ZubaidahToday at 9:00 PM

Unless you had something better to do or wanted to help Coil!

Esren'NilosToday at 9:01 PM

((Esren is not good at mechanics. He was considering investigating around the temple, but 20 minutes isn't really enough time for that.))

ZubaidahToday at 9:02 PM

feeds the goats and puts some of the goatfood away for later. :)

CalebToday at 9:03 PM

(( so after about 30 minutes goat feeding and repairing is done you all are on the ship))

ZubaidahToday at 9:03 PM

Okay! To Coruscant?

Esren'NilosToday at 9:04 PM

"Unless you still want to follow that signal to Hypori."

ZubaidahToday at 9:04 PM

We should do both! But Coruscant first.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:04 PM

"I feel like Coruscant is a better choice until we know who or what we're dealing with."

ZubaidahToday at 9:06 PM

Right! ... thanks for fixing the speeder again, Coil, did it go okay?

CoilToday at 9:07 PM

As long as we don't crash it again, we should be fine.

ZubaidahToday at 9:07 PM

smiles.

[9:08 PM]

Well, I don't know how to drive one, so that will help.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:08 PM

"Yes, lesson learned."

ZubaidahToday at 9:09 PM

Have you been to Coruscant before?

Esren'NilosToday at 9:09 PM

"I don't believe I have."

CoilToday at 9:09 PM

HOpefully. I'm the one that had to fix it.

[9:10 PM]

I have.

ZubaidahToday at 9:10 PM

I don't know how to fix speeders. I can fix people, though.

CoilToday at 9:10 PM

Once we're en route I"ll see if I can get a hold of someone who can get us IDs.

ZubaidahToday at 9:12 PM

I mean, if you get hurt.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:13 PM

"Shame.  Fixing a person's mind could be very useful."

ZubaidahToday at 9:14 PM

... I'm not sure I know how to heal that.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:14 PM

"I wouldn't worry about it."

CalebToday at 9:17 PM

So you all take off and set into space flying away from the planet  as Coil starts making preparations for the jump journey to Coruscant

Esren'NilosToday at 9:18 PM

keeps an eye on the spot where he saw the thing before as we leave.

CalebToday at 9:18 PM

((Roll me perception Esren))

Esren'NilosToday at 9:18 PM

((10))

ZubaidahToday at 9:19 PM

I'll work on it. Maybe some day I'll be able to heal scars. Though I think scars just make people more interesting. Like an accidental tattoo.

CalebToday at 9:19 PM

All you see is empty space Esren as space starts to speed up and you are in hyperspace

Esren'NilosToday at 9:19 PM

kind of pulls his head scarf thing a bit more to hide his scars as Zubi says that. Esren is uncomfortable.

CoilToday at 9:21 PM

(I'll brb)

ZubaidahToday at 9:21 PM

... sorry, I shouldn't've said that, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:21 PM

"I'm fine."

ZubaidahToday at 9:21 PM

Do your lekku tattoos mean anything?

Esren'NilosToday at 9:25 PM

"I don't think they have a thematic significance.  They hold a family connection, though.  ...also, they're very sensitive and hard to touch or work with so they're something of a sign of pride."

ZubaidahToday at 9:26 PM

Oh, I see. Did you choose the designs yourself? They're pretty.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:27 PM

"Thank you.  I didn't make the design, but I gave some direction."

ZubaidahToday at 9:27 PM

I thought about getting tattoos but I could never decide.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:28 PM

"It's difficult.  Whatever you get's always there."

[9:29 PM]

"...but I think you look good without them.  You use clothes as a means to stand out."

ZubaidahToday at 9:29 PM

And clothes are a lot easier to change. Thanks!

[9:30 PM]

What about yours, Coil?

CoilToday at 9:30 PM

Cultural. We get them at certain milestones.

ZubaidahToday at 9:31 PM

What milestones?

CoilToday at 9:37 PM

indicates the tattoo on his chin.

[9:38 PM]

This is when I was ten and I killed my first mark.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:38 PM

"........hm."

ZubaidahToday at 9:39 PM

Are you going to get one now that you've started Jedi training?

CoilToday at 9:39 PM

indicates his cheek tattoos.

[9:39 PM]

This was my 50th job.

[9:40 PM]

Maybe when I’m done.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:40 PM

"...are they all about killing?"

ZubaidahToday at 9:40 PM

... but you are done with your old job. ... I don't know how it works though. They do look nice.

CoilToday at 9:41 PM

If I was a doctor they would be about lives saved or diseases cured.

ZubaidahToday at 9:41 PM

But you did start a new path.

[9:42 PM]

I think that's an accomplishment. Some people never do.

CoilToday at 9:42 PM

So far it’s not that different.

ZubaidahToday at 9:42 PM

Well, apart from the killing people part, I suppose!

CoilToday at 9:43 PM

I suppose.

ZubaidahToday at 9:44 PM

Hopefully we won't have to.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:44 PM

"Yes...but we might.  So...useful skill to have."(edited)

CalebToday at 9:45 PM

(( does anyone want to do anything on the hyperspace journey?))

CoilToday at 9:45 PM

tries to finagle four fake IDs.

ZubaidahToday at 9:45 PM

makes a face.

[9:46 PM]

hangs out with the boys and probably drives them nuts.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:46 PM

will just hang around

CalebToday at 9:49 PM

Coil  about halfway through the journey you manage to get fake ids and a fake ship I dthat should get you a landing area close to the Jedi Temple

ZubaidahToday at 9:50 PM

chats with them and maybe looks up some stuff on the care and feeding of spacegoats.

CalebToday at 9:51 PM

You all drop out of hyperspace you see a planet further away than usual when you jump, quite a few ships patrolling and a constant stream of ships leaving and coming in

ZubaidahToday at 9:53 PM

Oh wow, lots of people.

CalebToday at 9:55 PM

Coruscant most of you would known w as a former capital planet during the empire and old republic the planet wide city it has over the past decades some of it has degraded into just criminal trade but a lot of the more historical places have been preserved and there is a lot of legitimize trading posts and some dealings politically that go on there. It may not be the center of the government anymore but definitely still an important planet

ZubaidahToday at 9:55 PM

I wonder what they do for parties!

Esren'NilosToday at 9:55 PM

"We need to find a way in."

ZubaidahToday at 9:56 PM

We need to find a party, because neither of you understands fun. But yes, we do.

CoilToday at 9:56 PM

I got us some credentials that will get us a landing spot near the old Jedi Temple.

[9:56 PM]

WE'll probably have to go down into the undercity a ways.

Esren'NilosToday at 9:57 PM

"We can stop by a party afterwards."

ZubaidahToday at 9:57 PM

Okay!

CalebToday at 10:01 PM

Coil gets you in line and using your acquired credentials manages to get you through the atmosphere  from the angle you enter you see how deep and built up Coruscant is also how rundown the area you entered at is as you follow the prescribed flight pattern you eventually do see the old capitol setup the senate building and the Jedi temple as coil takes the ship and goes down and out a fair amount to a much more rundown space dock than the ones you saw on the surface.

ZubaidahToday at 10:01 PM

This isn't a nice part of town, is it?

CoilToday at 10:02 PM

It was at one point.

[10:02 PM]

Pretty much the center of the galaxy once.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:03 PM

"Lucky us, the temple's likely abandoned.  Once the Empire was done, no real interest, I'd assume."

CoilToday at 10:03 PM

That seems very likely, doesn't it.(edited)

ZubaidahToday at 10:03 PM

Wouldn't looters have stripped it?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:04 PM

"Assuming they could get to it without the Force."

CoilToday at 10:04 PM

I think after the Clone Wars, the Empire fortified the place.

ZubaidahToday at 10:05 PM

Oh, I see.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:07 PM

"So, still probably a security to get through."

CoilToday at 10:07 PM

Most likely.

ZubaidahToday at 10:07 PM

Right. We should be prepared for a good fight.

CoilToday at 10:08 PM

Plus Jedi ghosts, I should expect.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:08 PM

"Please.  No way that's actually real."

ZubaidahToday at 10:08 PM

... Jedi ghosts?

CoilToday at 10:09 PM

Seems right, doesn't it?

ZubaidahToday at 10:10 PM

I bet they're real. They sound scary.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:10 PM

"There are no ghosts."

CoilToday at 10:11 PM

We'll see, won't we?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:11 PM

"I guess so."

[10:11 PM]

starts for the temple

ZubaidahToday at 10:11 PM

follows him.

CalebToday at 10:12 PM

You all start walking out of the Star Dock and heading up I assume(edited)

Esren'NilosToday at 10:12 PM

((.............wait, what?))

CalebToday at 10:12 PM

You pass quite a few people you see speeder traffic and other vehicles flying around

Esren'NilosToday at 10:13 PM

((Oh! Better.))

CalebToday at 10:13 PM

((Dock is a word phone))

1

CoilToday at 10:13 PM

We can take the speeder if we need to.

ZubaidahToday at 10:13 PM

((That would be a DIFFERENT kind of game. >.> ))

Esren'NilosToday at 10:13 PM

"We just need to be careful where we stash it."

ZubaidahToday at 10:13 PM

Do you think we should?

CoilToday at 10:14 PM

(how far does it seem?)

CalebToday at 10:15 PM

(( probably couple hours to half day walking if you don’t run into any trouble))

Esren'NilosToday at 10:16 PM

"Seems like it'd be worth it."

ZubaidahToday at 10:17 PM

Okay.

CoilToday at 10:17 PM

nods.

ZubaidahToday at 10:18 PM

I've never been here before, have you?

CoilToday at 10:18 PM

A few times.

CalebToday at 10:19 PM

You all get in the speeder and head up. Your vehicle is not the worst looking or sounding one in this area but as you get higher and closer to your destination you do notice more looks as your vehicle seems increasingly out of place.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:20 PM

"We may want to stash this thing a little further aways.  Somewhere very secure."

ZubaidahToday at 10:22 PM

Why?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:22 PM

"Because someone will probably try to steal it."

CoilToday at 10:23 PM

Or vandalize it.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:23 PM

"Or strip it."

[10:23 PM]

"Basically just...so many things could happen to it."

CalebToday at 10:23 PM

You eventually rise to the surface layer seems seem much nicer up here if antiquated

[10:24 PM]

You do see some what look like security watching your speeder as you go by

ZubaidahToday at 10:24 PM

waves cheerfully at them.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:25 PM

smiles and seems unassuming

CalebToday at 10:28 PM

Roll me just straight charisma checks

CoilToday at 10:28 PM

(uh oh.)

Esren'NilosToday at 10:28 PM

((Natural 20))

ZubaidahToday at 10:28 PM

((14.))

CoilToday at 10:29 PM

(14!  Rolled good on tha tone.)

CalebToday at 10:30 PM

Security is watching you but not giving your group or speeder that much notice

Esren'NilosToday at 10:30 PM

"If they come close, let me do the talking, please."

ZubaidahToday at 10:31 PM

That guard was flirting with you, did you notice?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:31 PM

"...what?"

ZubaidahToday at 10:31 PM

((You rolled a 20! They definitely are LOOKING.))

Esren'NilosToday at 10:32 PM

"...which one?"

ZubaidahToday at 10:32 PM

The good looking one!

[10:32 PM]

points.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:32 PM

"...oh...he is good looking."

ZubaidahToday at 10:33 PM

Told you.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:34 PM

"Guess he's got a thing for scars.  Anyway, we should see what we can find."

ZubaidahToday at 10:34 PM

Or just good-looking people.

[10:34 PM]

Right.

CoilToday at 10:36 PM

looks for a place to park.

[10:36 PM]

We can find a secure parking lot and then walk from here.

CalebToday at 10:36 PM

You find one fairly close to the temple

ZubaidahToday at 10:38 PM

will head straight for the temple.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:38 PM

follows

CalebToday at 10:40 PM

As you get closer to the temple you see less and less guards until you arrive at the door and you are alone just your group

CoilToday at 10:40 PM

Weird.

CalebToday at 10:40 PM

Give me wisdom saves with advantage

Esren'NilosToday at 10:41 PM

((........6.....  ))

CoilToday at 10:41 PM

((9.))

ZubaidahToday at 10:41 PM

((26.))

Esren'NilosToday at 10:42 PM

((That is disgustingly appropriate. ))

ZubaidahToday at 10:42 PM

((I rolled a 20. And yes, it is!))

CalebToday at 10:43 PM

So esren and coil you both start thinking of other places to be or things to do

[10:43 PM]

Zubi you walk right up and the door opens

ZubaidahToday at 10:43 PM

Thanks!

[10:43 PM]

heads in.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:44 PM

"...Coil, where's Zubi?"

ZubaidahToday at 10:45 PM

peeks back out. "Are you guys coming?"

CalebToday at 10:46 PM

That’s enough for you both to see the open door and overcome whatever was distracting you

CoilToday at 10:46 PM

Hmm. Apparently thats why the temple is untouched, I guess.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:46 PM

".............it's really irritating how she keeps doing that."

[10:46 PM]

follows

CoilToday at 10:46 PM

Doing what?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:47 PM

"Just...like...being good at all of it."

ZubaidahToday at 10:47 PM

What is? Well I'm not good at all of it.

[10:47 PM]

I can't drive a speeder or pilot a ship.

CoilToday at 10:47 PM

You don't think you should be good at it. I think too much about it.

[10:47 PM]

She's got less baggage.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:48 PM

"I left my baggage behind.  I'm all fine now.  Just like...some frayed edges to buff out."

CoilToday at 10:48 PM

She also seems to have the closest thing of all of us to a well adjusted upbringing.

ZubaidahToday at 10:48 PM

If you want to talk about it that's okay.

CoilToday at 10:49 PM

Not particularly.

ZubaidahToday at 10:49 PM

That's okay too.

[10:50 PM]

The important thing is, we're all good at different things, that's why we're a good team.

CalebToday at 10:50 PM

Entering the temple it is dark some light coming in from the windows but a lot more closed in in the main hall than you would expect

[10:50 PM]

It feels oppressive and silent

Esren'NilosToday at 10:51 PM

"...huh...feels...homier than I was expecting."

ZubaidahToday at 10:51 PM

tries reaching out with the Force a little bit.

CalebToday at 10:51 PM

Roll me a wisdom save Zubi

ZubaidahToday at 10:52 PM

((10, unless advantage!))

CalebToday at 10:54 PM

Zubi collapses

CoilToday at 10:55 PM

tries to catch her.

ZubaidahToday at 10:55 PM

starts to cry suddenly for no apparent reason, too.

Esren'NilosToday at 10:55 PM

"...something bad happened here, didn't it?"

CalebToday at 10:55 PM

Coil you grab her easily as she falls

ZubaidahToday at 10:56 PM

Yes.

CoilToday at 10:56 PM

Of course it did. This place was full of Jedi, then suddenly it wasn't.

ZubaidahToday at 10:56 PM

How could they! How could they!

Esren'NilosToday at 10:58 PM

"...I will look around."

ZubaidahToday at 10:58 PM

tries to stop but can't quite yet.

CoilToday at 10:58 PM

Don't wander too far, we should stick together.

ZubaidahToday at 10:58 PM

Can't you feel it? It's awful.

CoilToday at 10:59 PM

hugs Zubi. He's not a hugger, but it's what she seems to need right now.

[10:59 PM]

What do you feel?

Esren'NilosToday at 10:59 PM

"I am choosing not to."

CalebToday at 10:59 PM

Roll investigation Esren

ZubaidahToday at 11:00 PM

Betrayal! And a lot of people died, and it hurt.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:00 PM

((14))

ZubaidahToday at 11:00 PM

And they were so scared.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:00 PM

"...Ap'lek told me it was a traitor within the Jedi who took them down."

[11:01 PM]

"Their own clones turned on them and then rallied behind the dissenter."

[11:01 PM]

"...no one knew what was happening until it was too late."

CoilToday at 11:02 PM

IT was the clone wars. The Jedi that would have been here would have been children, mostly.

[11:02 PM]

Most full Jedi were off fighting.

ZubaidahToday at 11:02 PM

It's awful. Oh, they were so afraid.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:02 PM

".........yes.....they would've been."

ZubaidahToday at 11:02 PM

Why would you kill babies.

[11:04 PM]

sniffles and gives Coil one more squeeze, and then stands up, still crying a little bit.

CalebToday at 11:04 PM

Esren  looking around you find some old empire era clone equipment and a computer terminal at the welcome desk and a control for lights you also find a pile of burned and destroyed lightsabers

ZubaidahToday at 11:05 PM

They were so little.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:05 PM

tries the lights

ZubaidahToday at 11:06 PM

It's not... I can't see them but I can see some of what they saw and... it's all from people who are...

[11:07 PM]

makes a vague gesture indicating someone at waist height.

CalebToday at 11:07 PM

The hall lights up you see old evidence of blaster fire all over the hall and you see a couple different hallways one going up to more ornate doors and then some smaller almost classroom looking areas off another hallway and then others that go down or don’t have any doors in the section you can see

Esren'NilosToday at 11:07 PM

"....Zubi...stay out of the classrooms."

ZubaidahToday at 11:08 PM

Oh, okay.

[11:08 PM]

... and I can't help them because they're in the past.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:08 PM

"We're looking for records.  That's probably down, right?"

[11:09 PM]

"...I have no idea where they'd keep records."

CoilToday at 11:09 PM

nods.

[11:09 PM]

Or the archives.

ZubaidahToday at 11:09 PM

And they're just little and I have cousins that age, and...

CalebToday at 11:11 PM

So you all head for the downward corridor?

Esren'NilosToday at 11:11 PM

does...I guess.

[11:11 PM]

will help Zubi up first though and go with her.

ZubaidahToday at 11:12 PM

holds onto one or preferably both boys, still kinda off in her own little world.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:13 PM

"Coil...you likely know more about this than I do.  Any ideas where to look?

CoilToday at 11:14 PM

shrugs. "Middle of the temple, I think.  I don't really know the floor plans.

ZubaidahToday at 11:15 PM

sniffles, and wipes her face.

[11:15 PM]

It wasn't like that before.

CalebToday at 11:15 PM

You all head down passing more large and small rooms

Esren'NilosToday at 11:16 PM

"This isn't a good place, anymore.  I've been in these spaces.  You eventually learn it's sometimes best to not reach out."

CalebToday at 11:19 PM

You eventually find a room that is filled with terminals and rows of different memory crystals

CoilToday at 11:19 PM

This looks promising.

ZubaidahToday at 11:19 PM

I think I'm all right. Sorry. It was just... it was a lot.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:19 PM

"You don't need to be sorry."

[11:20 PM]

"Coil, this is really more your thing than mine.  Zubi and I will back you up."

CoilToday at 11:20 PM

I'll try. I'm not exactly a slicer.

Esren'NilosToday at 11:22 PM

nods

CalebToday at 11:22 PM

(( Coil roll me investigation or technology))

CoilToday at 11:23 PM

((7.))

CalebToday at 11:26 PM

You don’t quite understand how this system works you eventually find what you think is the section with relevant data to the confederacy and the planets that you know seem to be involved as you pull that information into a data pad you all hear a deep sounding alarm going off.

ZubaidahToday at 11:26 PM

That's OK, they can be kind of weird sometimes.

CalebToday at 11:26 PM

The door you entered through closed quickly

ZubaidahToday at 11:27 PM

They care more about things than pe--what was that?

CalebToday at 11:27 PM

And that is shared we will end tonight

CoilToday at 11:27 PM

That was the alarm I set off.
