Belsavis
The GrandMaster noted the extreme temperature as he exited the Jedi Starfighter and made his way into the research post where he had been summoned to. He quickly jumped out of the cockpit, poorly dressed for the conditions as he was still in his standard armament for missions. The astromech on board the ship tweeted and whistled a goodbye as he made haste through the wind and snow towards the compound. The sparse buildings seemed to form a sort of structure, yet there was nothing around that seemed to dictate the need for such an outpost. Especially on a world such as this one, I don't hate anything...but cold weather is pushing it. Making his way up the ramp, his mind was a whirl of thoughts as he considered exactly the circumstances that had led him to this planet after all.
Why would the leader of the Jedi, leave all those he was over after the events of the Kuat summit and come to an outpost on Belsavis?
Ashin, that one word was the crux of it all. That one woman, the very woman who had freed him and allowed him a month alone on Kamino after two decades of being frozen. That one woman who had tested him, fought him as soon as she had met him. She was the one who had sent him the message, through heavily encrypted backchannels. He had known it was her, after all they had a handshake agreement to watch out for each other and stay out of each other's way after that duel/test on Kamino. Yet things had changed since then, he had become GrandMaster of the Jedi. Ashin had become the Sith Empress, as well as taken on of the Order's brightest pupils. Though that was rather trivial in light of the recent events surrounding the artificial intelligence hellbent on making all races "ascend".
Omni.
Those thoughts were shelved, because this crisis required his full attention. It was why the GrandMaster of the Jedi Order had come alone on a mission with the Sith Empress. Whatever we are doing here, it better not be for some petty differences. The though crossed his mind and left him just as quickly as he formed it, after all Ashin had principles. That's why he still drew breath, whatever was between the Empress and Velok had lead to his revival. There was a joke in there somewhere about two Sith Masters bringing back the new Jedi GrandMaster, but Darron was in no mood to think about it. This was a business trip, a mission to save the galaxy, despite the company he would be keeping.
Walking into the room, he saw Ashin unloading supplies and another masked woman. Even her signature is hidden...curious?
Crossing the room in a few strides Darron stopped just before her, and looked down at her armored frame. His exposed, powerful arms went across his chest as he looked down at her. "Empress, why am I here?"
