With Jonyna Si Wild Space Rebellion continuing spread, Jax decided to take extra step and create a rebel cell to help out. He chose the name: Dead Cell mainly because it sounded cool and Jax died once. He had problem coming up with a more hopeful name not that a rebel cell needed one in the first place. Since he was now settling in on Naboo, Jax saw it as the perfect to set up a base of operations. On one hand, Naboo was a safe place deep in the Expansion Region and they had access to the High Republic's mass resources. On the other hand, It'll be hard to coordinate with the other cells scattered across the Galaxy with many concentrated in the Outer Rim but it was important to have allies who can support the cause.

The hardest part was finding recruits. Jax decided to see if there's any Jedi who were join first, then he could work his way down to soldiers, engineers and what not. The Jedi Master sent out an invitation to any Jedi willing to go. Might as well wait.

This is not my normal kind of task. In my classes it tended to be whispered that I was far too humble; and the person most expected to help others to succeed before myself.

I don't exactly disagree with that statement. I'm quiet, soft spoken, and not very assertive. That was probably why I was picked to focus on the healing arts instead of a position of prestige.

Recruits were being requested, yet I knew not exactly what it was for. There are various Jedi Orders all over the Galaxy. Some had different branches and sects, while others did not. Regardless I was here to learn about what this sect was hoping to become.

Jax sensed someone approaching the meeting room, he immediately stood up bolt straight adjusted his robes. He wasn't sure if the High Republic would be so accepting of a rebel cell in their capital. In fact, Jax was certain that if their enemies found out the location of Dead Cell, the people of the High Republic would disavow Jax. It was a possibility that he was prepared to accept, while Jax was determined to fight against the Sith, the Syndicate and Imperials who now control the majority of the Galaxy.

A young woman entered the room looking nervous and jumpy. She was strong in the Force, but she looked to be untrained. Was she looking for a Master? "Welcome!" Jax smiled. "You're the first person to arrive this morning!"

 

[Lumiya Dara]

The man was right. Upon entering the room I soon came to realize that I was indeed the only other person there. That might not be a good thing. Or it could be that everyone else had developed a habit of being tardy.

"Hello. How many others are you expecting?" I didn't want to rush into anything, nor to have him begin the meeting and have to start all over again once others began to arrive.

"I...." Jax heart dropped realizing that maybe informing the Jedi Order about the creation of a rebel wasn't the best Idea. He trusted that the Jedi kept their secrets to themselves. Yet after the many mistakes that the NJO did with the Alliance, this Jedi Order was under more scrutiny with the High Republic. "Realistically," Jax said. "You're probably going to be the only one who answered the call."

The Jedi Master sighed, building a rebel cell wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows and he knew it. "But all you need is a single seed to grow into a massive tree." Jax said. "Welcome to Dead Cell. We're part of a group of rebels trying to help out people who were displaced by the Sith and Imperials."

 

[Lumiya Dara]

I couldn't help but furrow my brows in utter surprise and confusion. Surprise at being the only one expected to attend this meeting, while also confused as to why that would be.

Hmmm.

I folded my hands together within the sleeves of my robe. "I see. The name could use a bit of work, if I may say so. Unless you are trying to be cryptic and covert with it?" I may have overstepped my bounds already. But who am I to be a judge within the field of some Jedi Orders that I have never been a part of? I have never come across battle or of war. One might count me as being fortunate in that regard. Or at least I do. But it also leaves me to be the least prepared too..

Jax eyes grew wide when the woman said that the name of the group needed work. Hey that name sounded cool! At least in Jax's head. Sad that she thought it was lame. "Still sticking with the title," Jax muttered to the woman. "It's a badass name for badass Jedi."

Boy howdy has things gone off to an awkward start. "And I just said boy howdy unironically," Jax muttered. "Frack me."

"But in any event," Jax coughed trying to ease the tension. "Yes, as Dead Cell, our job is to help Alliance refugees that are scattered throughout the edges of the Galaxy. The Empire..... The Galactic Empire that is are hunting them down for sport and it's up to us to defend them."

 

[Lumiya Dara]

I lifted up both of my hands in submission as he defended his name choice. To me Dead Cell means exactly that; a cell that's dead. And with only myself arriving here, then it is clear that I may not of been the only one that thought so.

And I am no badass anything.

He goes on about the purpose of the group, and while I lowered one hand; I kept another one raised as I had a question that needed an answer. "Only Alliance refugess? Or are others viable for help as well?" I have never been a part of the Alliance. Or anythimg, really. And to limit help to only one type of people wasn't fair. It'd require I.D. checks before deciding if help could be provided, which doesn't seem right to me.

"Of course we're going to save others!" Jax said feeling his ears redden. "But right now, the Galactic Empire has been rounding up Alliance refugees and we're ordered to help them out."

He was happy that Lumiya was asking the hard questions. A Jedi must be perceptive and not afraid to go against the grain especially if they need to protect the people. "So Lumiya," Jax asked placing his hands behind his back. "What are your skills? Do you have a Master? What can you bring to Dead Cell that can be valuable?"

 

[Lumiya Dara]

I lowered my hand as his temper flared up. And the fact that he was being ordered by someone or someones to only be of service to one group of people. From what I know, evil has no limits, especially when it comes to citizenship.

I dropped my gaze and interlocked my fingers within the sleeves of my robe; if only to keep me from fidgeting with them before responding to his questions. "My skills are in healing. I do not seek a Master at this time. And I'm unsure of what valuables are needed? I don't have a ship of my own, nor the means to fly it. And I don't enjoy confrontation like most do." There are plenty that I know of that relish in duels and wielding their lightsabers, but I'm not like them. I rarely use mine, outside of practice.

"We definitely need healers for sure," Jax replied placing his hands on the edges of his belt. "I won't lie to you, there will be a lot of combat but it'll be more subdued since we'll be behind enemy lines."

The Jedi Maser placed his hands behind his back slowly pacing back and forth. "But I'm willing to adapt," Jax continued. "And there are a couple of refugee camps placed around the mid rim. We can provide people with food and supplies while keeping a look out for Sith."

 

[Lumiya Dara]

I do not like the idea of there being a lot of combat for me. I am a healer; not a fighter. The thought of being behind enemy lines as opposed to in front of it is more appealing though.

I watch him as he paces back and forth; the movements reminding me of what some kind of General might do. I listen to his words, which bring about a question that quickly comes to mind. "Do the Sith always announce themselves? Or are they more subtle?" I haven't encountered one before. So of course my outlook would be quite naive. Afterall, I'm not the type to go looking for trouble. I just clean up after it.
