99 Red Balloons

[Orihime Ike]

The world she and the other padawans had discovered with the navigational charts was something worth exploring. She didn't really know what was out there but there was a small setup area that Sasori had built. A prefab lab and the modules so everything could be brought in pieces, set up and suddenly there was a home for all of them. She could work on things with the others and the different crystals they had discovered under the ocean she was seeing things thanks to the information that Zak had given them about all of the things that had been there. Her full attention went to the largest section in the room she was in where all of the equipment was.

[Orihime Ike]

"We have been working with your mother to develop some of the new things, take a moment to look at them and handle the situation padawan Orihime. Your sisters might be around as well." She didn't know about Lorieth or Willow... or even Reiko but Kala that little baby from Momma Hanna well that little baby went with the family and on trips like this she had her own little room with her mothers. Sasori was here so all of the family was here working on things same as her mothers... it was like a nice long vacation where they got to do a whole lot of things and with the information from the seeder ships they could head back quickly if needed compared to some of the others.

 

[Orihime Ike]

She took her time, getting changed while going around the room.... Mostly grabbing her robes and her saber in her arms before walking to her room where her sisters were. All five of them in a room with two bunk beds, a small fifth bed for the baby and well they had lockers with a fair amount of space along one wall. A vanity set and their own refresher but Joshu converter for anything they might need should it come up. Orihime stood there for a moment setting her things in her locker while letting the sounds of the baby rise up with a small smile on her face. She even had gotten one of the tora'yor gauntlets she could use and practice with down on the planet for protection.

 

[Orihime Ike]

"Hm da hm da hmmm. Hm da hm da hmm." She was singing it a little holding the girl for a moment while she rocked a little. It wasn't often she got to just relax and hang out with her sister... This was a rare moment and she wasn't planning on wasting it while the others with them were busy. Her equipment was being worked on so she could handle this while waiting. The smell of air freshener was there clinging in the air while she pushed the air to the side just enjoying the situation they were in. "Come little sister, I'll take you away into a land of enchantment. Come little sister, the time has come to play. Here in our garden of wonders."

 

[Orihime Ike]

She said it all while walking around and stepping into the fresher for the moment while taking some of the times to get clean and freshen up. Not taking to long as she usually would because the cleansing powder irritated Kala's eyes making her cry with her sniffling and eyes reddening up a little. Orihime stood there drying her with the towel while making some face. "Peek-a-boo.... where is my little sister?...... There she is." Finishing up while she got her changed into a onesie with pale purple flowers on it for everyone to see and all of the other things the padawan get on her socks and the bodyglove for herself. Zipping it up to her neck while she adjusted the collar.

 

[Orihime Ike]

"Do I look good Kala?" There was a bubble between her lips as confirmation.... or maybe she was having gas... either way that was more then enough for what she needed while sliding the robes on herself. The grey-white material quite nice and the outfit was not nearly as heavy for her before she looked back down at her sister standing there. There was a giggle and snort as she looked at the little girl for a moment taking in what was going on in that little mind for the baby. "What are you thinking about? What are you planning?" There was a look between them before she heard it and could smell it calling in for the droids with a frown on her face. "Thanks for that.... really."

 

[Orihime Ike]

The little girl was being taken care of and with the rest of her equipment she was all for the different things while touching the circlet while she set it on her ankle. It was a nice warm sensation within the boot as she let them readjust to her self fitting once again. It was a nice feeling and the mini computer told her they were now fitted before she stood back getting the rest of her gear including the upgraded Tora'Yor glove. The hard work that had gone into making it so it could use a different crystal was worth it before she slide it on letting the bands screw down sliding along the bodygloves plating. The small give of the cushion until it was in her palm with the finger tips in place.

 

[Orihime Ike]

She could work with that touching the earrings that pulsed with the lightside of the force and she slid them on. Small pinch to her earlobes before taking her ribbon to tie her hair into a long ponytail over the earrings.to conceal and protect them from being ripped out of her ears. She didn't want to get them snagged on something while she touched the bracelet, intertwining bands of taozin flesh that her mother had made for the old jedi but they hadn't really used it. Now she had it on her wrist so she could be obscured before the golden chain of the sigil while she secured the clasp on her neck and raised the collar to conceal it.

 

[Orihime Ike]

She could feel the force energy with a sharp inhalation of the air while walking and letting all of it calm her mind and body. The connection to the force something not many others could feel while she walked outside. Letting the nanny droid work with the baby and the other things that were there. They had discovered the cave system under the islands when she came out into the jungle and to access it from the surface they had cut into it with an airlock above it. The submerged entrances were still there and she could let the aquatic jedi like Zak explore those or with the dive suits. For now here and there the remains of a jungle ruins served for a place to set up base camp.

 

[Orihime Ike]

Orihime climbed u the stairs to the top as it over looked the canopy of the jungle stretching out to the mountains were probe droids were operating with samples or with what would become their weapon tests. Setting the targets around the canopy and mountain with sensors as most of the important stuff was on the other side of them. She saw the different targets while standing there and feeling the force as it pulsed throughout her body making it vibrate all over with a small smile appearing on her face. She looked down at the white gemstone in the center of the palm and the ones there with her were explaining it in some small detail.

 

[Orihime Ike]

"The gemstone is based off of the force light and underbarrel beamer crystals, something you can channel the force into but instead of charging it up this one is made smaller. Something to be focused and set it the palm or into the saber for you to focus the energy through. You will be able to direct and channel the force energies within your body to the crystal and project them outwards in a strong beam. Something similar to when a Neti lets loose a beam of light. It will not have the effective range of the larger crystals but it will have the ability to push back and stun those coming at you. Or in this case for practice purposes knock the targets down."

 

[Orihime Ike]

She looked at him and at the gemstone there polishing it a little in her palm before she was looking over at the target and thinking about the distances between her standing there and them. She didn't know what the range was but hey yeah she could work with this while holding up her hand and focusing on it. Just like when you were using the bands to fill the gemstone. She focused until it started glowing and then fired off missing the targets. Orihime chewed her lower lip with a look at all of it while taking aim again and breathing in and out. To relax while she let herself prepare for the really fun fights in all of it. She was almost vibrating with force energy from her connection to it.

 

[Orihime Ike]

Then it was glowing white hot and she fired it off as it struck the target and she saw it flip around and around. The closest one they were testing for beginners until she was moving back with her hand tracking towards the next target and testing them. A good distance away at maybe looking like two wookiee's standing on top of each other before she fired it off and the the target went down with the targeting systems working on the things. It was calculating the force and it impacted the target with a good amount of force to knock most things back. They weren't testing it against shielding units yet but all of the other works and tests in time could come so they would have the best of everything they needed.

 

[Orihime Ike]

"Yes." She cheered a little knocking the target over while moving her arm to take aim while she opened her palm. "Alright target now only one of us can be left standing and it is going to be me in this engagement." She was ready and squaring off with it while her free hand went to her wrist to hold it stable. Jaw tight and ready for it while she breathed in steadying the vibrations of force energy before it released and went wide away from the target to the side impacting another one behind it but it looked like a pop instead of a smack. "Out of range and it dissipated to much to impact the other targets as effectively. We have a range though around fifteen feet should be more then enough for you."

 

[Orihime Ike]

Well that wasn't perfect but she could work with that and besides one of the best things was tweaking and working on things afterwards so you could really get in touch with some of your things. Orihime was standing there and blew her small bang that had come loose from her ponytail with a nod of her head. She looked at the target squinting and nodding her head. "You win this time but next time I shall be back and I will have my vindication and knock you down with my gemstone and ow power." She said it nodding her head ready for anything that could be there while she was sitting with the one researcher and starting to go over the data they had collected on the gemstones.
