Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
A mud ball of a world, Toydaria was once a vassal of the Hutts, serving as a backwater world to stash cargo one wouldn’t want others to steal. The world is a hotbed of grab-worms, poison and infection. Toydarians have not been heard of within the galaxy for years, their business needs retreated when the Hutts Cartels began to grow. Small villages once dotted the muddy landscape, but there is little evidence that they survived.
Then, a distress signal came within range… Ancient, and on a channel that hadn't been seen for nearly twenty thousand years. Jedi investigators were dispatched, and reported a crash landing. Medical relief for the injured from debris has been requested. However, opposed to standard transports, more exotic means to get down to the planet as opposed to transports is required courtesy of jedi artisans, is necessary to get down to the planet.
Resources on the world, such as food and farms, are sparse. With an isolationist view, the Toydarians are doing what they can to feed their people while also protecting their dwindling resources. With a crash from an unknown ship, injuries have become widespread, damaging one of their cities and the surrounding farmlands. Putting aside their pride, the King called for aid, an act which makes quite clear just how bad their current situation truly is. There is not much in terms of space for treating patients, and movement is restricted to smaller land based transports, which may evacuate the overflow of injured and sick via the orbital tether elevator to medical ships in orbit.
Wrath of Delcarde: An ancient, twisted ship -- The Delcarde -- crashed and released things... Malformed and without actual shape compared to what they might have been. The cathedral ship, left over from the Crusades, emptied the creatures into a swamp and the local Toydarians found themselves unfortunately infected by them. Jedi investigators and guardians are recommended to investigate with environmental protection suits. Early reports indicate that the ship didn't enter the system from hyperspace, but had been traveling between systems at sub-light speed. Scans indicate a heavy Force presence within, and biological scans reveal mutated humans.
But… The Delcarde was not alone, there was another that had been mostly cannibalized to keep the one ship running. Fleet actions and engagements are welcomed in case some of the older point defense weapons might be working.
Goal: Jedi investigators and guardians investigate the Delcarde, determine threat level, and if needed, request sterilization of the wreckage to prevent Rozzum infection.
Goal 2: Debris and wreckage: Sections of a second cathedral ship - cannibalized to keep the Delcarde running - are in a decaying orbit. Fleeters have two options/tasks in mind: A chance to investigate and possibly find treasures from a time before the fall of the Jedi Order and the Republic. Also, to prevent larger pieces that might not burn up in atmosphere from reaching the planet. Be careful, though - its point-defense weapons might activate if a ship comes too close.
Triage X: Fungal infections, flesh eating sicknesses, bone rotting, and insects have spread some of the more dangerous and infectious illnesses on the world. However, the Toydarians and Hutts never tried to stop it, and made sure it continued in areas of importance to protect them and their storehouses of resources. Wars have been waged in the past between the Toydarians, which inevitably spells casualties even on a small scale such as this. The oxygen and moisture-rich swamps mean rust for droids. Biot medical officers and Triage Class Medical Super Carriers from Sakura, under direction from medical SSD Kiyomi have been dispatched into deep orbit with a docking tether and orbital elevator to descend to the planet. Transportation across the planet is limited to some land-based vehicles as opposed to flying medvac to move patients. We have the resources and supplies, but the capabilities to house and set up long term treatment is limited.
Goal: To move injured and sick from the medical camp to orbital elevator for extraction. Moving through the swamp areas is difficult, good communication and working together is the key to success.
Units: Ranger Combat Medics, The SIlent
A Throne of Glass: Building bridges and stronger ties with the Toydarian king would be beneficial. Indeed, they did ask for help, but they are also a crafty species and will certainly not fawn over the Jedi. Their natural resistance to Jedi mind tricks and persuasion can also make them more difficult to read in certain situations. Ambassador Robes are recommended to aid with the meeting. Information about King Calatu has been made available -- he is a popular figure, loved by many for being willing to put his pride aside in order to protect his people. Respect is highly valued, and political games would be viewed negatively, as preventing a war for resources between the cities is more important.
Goal: Meet with the King and offer food reserves, medical aid, and construction supplies in order to prevent a possible resource war. It may also be a good chance to negotiate terms of recovery for historical artifacts pulled from debris.
Bring Your Own Objective: The world is strange compared to some. Technology for farming is important, but speeders have been mostly outlawed, given the flying nature of the Toydarians. Upper atmosphere ships are rarely allowed, and most Silver Jedi ships are currently in deep orbit.
Goals:
- There are other points of interest: On the surface in the mountains, there is an old relay for communications that can be investigated.
- Investigations: There may be remnants of droids and debris from ships left behind on the moon of Toydaria, with its coral canyons and dried lake beds. Investigate a small signal that was detected, possibly from a defunct smugglers den.
- Do your own thing: Have fun, but respect the local laws and culture! Toydarians fly around their world, and thus flying craft are quite rare, except in restricted places such as the capital city. The swamps are full of spores and parasites for the unwary, and resource farms are valuable at pretty much all times. Endangering them could lead to a war for resources.
Toydaria was not an easy world to land on... if anything it may have been proving one of the more challenging in terms of what the Silver Jedi had face. An orbital elevator could help but it was mostly being set up to receive from the surface patients and to get down tot he surface well something special had been called in. A more exotic means as the jedi master stood on the bridge of the Kiyomi. Sleek and massive a civilian super star defender class designated for medical services. With tens of thousands of medical staff, jedi healers, gamorrian nuns who valued helping, the silent who walked the halls and their strange effect was benefited to aid in healing. To the more advanced jedi healers that served with the likes of Sakura developing new medical tech.
She stood taller and ready given her small size and held out a hand mostly for show. In truth the chevron pad on her wrist didn't need much fanfare. Sleek, thinsuited so it was near impossible to get in the way and with a holographic hardlight display that showed the gate. On the planet they had given the Toydarians the dispersal pods that acted as a second gate and no planetary shields to get in the way or massive interference. So when the rumble came to the ship that was quickly stopped and the sound of displacement while the technology reversed engineered from the mystical loops and understanding of Kwa technology activated. It did with most of the engineered who had been working on it thanks to the recovery efforts of [member="Maple Harte"] and Matsu at an old clone wars CIS lab.
The connection was made and the first group heading down to the surface itself where the wreckage and initial attacks with a point of contact had happened. Jedi investigators had gone down and gathered as much information for guardians, brutes, force warriors and sentinels to have a lay of the land. Information from the scans about the wreckage was revealing of what it was from the ground and from space. Roughly fifteen thousand years old, cannibalized cathedral ships from the Pius Dea crusades. Somewhat of a mystery as they didn't have some records from that time but the few jedi who studied history beyond the cool stuff knew that meant the Order of the Terrible glare a corrupted branch of the jedi who tortured their padawans into serving.
They were also know for their archaic rituals that tampered with the force and brought forth creatures of dimensions that didn't operate within the bounds of their normal space and time. THings that the mind tried to give form to that was considered at times madness inducing and dark. Ancient powers that if they were still around... though from reports they had gotten several hundred survived thousands upon thousands of years eating the minds and bodies of those they had been called forth with until Skywalker and his jedi found them and ended the legacy of them on a world... it showed these things could have a realy long life and the reports of inhuman shaped things... that seemed mutated could meant that they had been on the ship and breeding the humancentric crusaders like cattle to survive being in the void with now navigational computer.
The jedi master continued to look upon it all, to see what they could do from here while she was bringing up the displays. Hardlight of the planet with vivid colors, the muck lakes, where the cities were located and the food stores. Their farmlands were small... much of it was unsettled with different areas disnated for different cities or clans and there were sections that had been getting hit with storms and grabworms that killed attempts to expand agricultural efforts on the planet. One of the reasons why they had retreated was to try and preserve what areas they could and not have war or sabotage between the cities ravage the planet. They had brought some supplies but the world itself was not set to be a vast farmland so the teams on the ground would get a chance to improvise as the jedi master was laying out a few more things.
She continued to bring up xome of the information not just about the planet but where exactly they were headed to. The medics, the healers, the Silent had been sent to one of the damaged cities. It was smaller then the main capitol and out of the way deeper in the swamps but they had chosen it for a reason. Less around them, fewer chances of the food being poisoned or destroyed normally. That also meant access into it had been harder to do with waypoint beacons in the swamps. It would make for something difficult to fight if they had to... thankfully there were some converted transports. Heavy respulsor lifters that could move through slowly when loaded with patients and some of the osmatic field projectors. The highly oxygenated swamps and spores would clog and damage the filters and projectors in time but it should be able to work if they kept a decent pace.
She had planned for several things to happen on the world... mostly using the force to see and her own estimation of the skills of most of the silver jedi... she didn't have the exact details but an idea of how things could proceed in the first two major areas... investigation of the ship had jedi shadows on stand by. It would require authorization for them to properly go down and fight, these were not silver shadows... they respected the chain of command and answered to a councilor or someone on the assembly if needed. It was smarter and safer to have a group with the wisdom and ability to see how they could best be used then leaving it to them..black and white morality with little subtle looks at the difference was a dangerous thing... whoever gave silver shadows capabilities like the ancient covenant was.... strange and foolish. THese shadows had become corrupted because they answered to no one but themselves and they always agreed with each others decisions.
So where did that leave the jedi master herself.. here on board the Kiyomi in one of the meditation chambers as information flowed into the ship. The medical staff on the planet was working to try and handle the overflow.... resources and supplies they could make here on the ship it was only a matter of getting them here.... so ranger combat medics were sent to become escorts along with the silent in the caravan among jedi healers and doctors who had come to work with Sakura. She sent a message down tot he planet as the shuttle to get them to the orbital elevator was prepared to leave. A few of the nurses stood there as ranger combat medics were geared up with projectile slig throwers tpo prevent igniting some of the methane and high oxygen sections. They were trying to keep it safe as the requisition agent they were meting from the planet.
"Welcome welcome." The petite by most standards hutt was one of the ones who had been exiled here for birth defects with their clan. A birthmark on his... her face marred them as defective in some cases but their progenitor didn't want to get rid of them... so exiled to a vassal world and they were young still. A few hundred compared to most hutts and without the massive bulk so they were still able to move around under their own power. They had the manifest for the shuttle with the different ones. From there heading to the orbital elevator and down with the first transports bringing medical transportation beds and some of their doctors. "Master Jedi, I am glad to see such an impressive ship. If you ever want to sell it... I am sure we can work something out."
She gave the hutt a look standing there and motioned them back towards the shuttle where they could all be standing around. She closed the door and let the part of the operation continue. There was still a good deal of things that needed to be done... specifically she had to... hopefully get some decent diplomats. Walking along the length of the shuttle bay as the hoop was set up for them to make it to the capitol and meet with the king and his court. The toydarian ruler wasn't exactly the most... well he wasn't fawning over them. If anything this seemed to be something he hadn't wanted to do preferring isolation. He asked for their help because it was in the best interest as opposed to actually wanting them there... A matter of putting aside his own pride to do what is right and she didn't want to give insult to it.
SHe had set up diplomatic dossiers for the jedi ambassadors who were being assigned. All information about local customs that could be given and history, art, points of interest to bring up conversation. A small ranger escort of guardians were being assigned, THeir armor gleaming with black, silver and the Antarian rangers emblem on their chest. THe armor was more compacted and sleek then Katarn armor which made it more ideal for moving around with a species that would be flying around. SMall respulsors and built in equipment for defenses measures in case of problems with dissidents that might not like them coming in and providing supplies. The mentality of warring over resources and a new king or queen taking over cause the previous perished from lack of food could be tempting.
The king himself though was going to be tricky but the jedi master had a small smirk on her face. THe information he gave so a few of the jedi could go off and investigate the moon. A site of fighting between the clones and CIS long ago in case anyone wanted to try and find something. She found herself going up to the secondary meditation chamber and she sat down. The team going towards the capitol itself had their pathway and could head off as they needed to. She would remain up here with the Kiyomi and monitor activity where it was needed. The work all of them were going for though on the surface would hopefully give some lessons to the padawans that went as well as the masters.
"All things are green across the board master Ike." The voice came as she found a seat. The meditation chamber gleaming and it was designed with the stones for meditation and mental capabilities. She reached out feeling the ship with the nnth metal and the agena.... warmth from force crystals that seeped into every piece of metal making it stronger. To the healing units that were preparing, nurses, staff, their biots. Since Sasori did well it made sense that their staff would do such. Jedi healers that glowed brightly with the force as their robes had been designed to make them walking healing crystals of fire. Great for scenarios like this were they could augment jedi healers and keep the doctors calm when they were up to their ankles in blood or bodies from the field.
She could feel the labs that were working on slightly modified strains of crops the toydarians grew but they would be more resistant to some of the parasites and fungus on the world able to grow without being fully destroyed. Wouldn't beat a massive agricultural station but this wasn't about hand waving and coming in to take over their world it was about helping the people because they asked and not demanding compensation in return. THe jedi master pushed herself, opened her mind to the world itself and wrapped around it. THe abundance of life on the smaller scale was important and she could feel a great deal more.. THe swamps, the forests teemed with it while the muck lakes with some of the cities were filled with struggle and wanting. She reached out to add a soothing sensation to the other jedi, to bolster them, to transfer the force and calmness to them. Her necklace glowed rightly with the lightside as the crystal channeled the force into her body and she outwards.
Objective One:
Participants: [member="Sor-Jan Xantha"] [member="Syd Celsius"] [member="Kiran Arlos"] [member="Syn"] [member="Sera Inkari"]
THe world was thick and oppressive. A swamp wasn't always great as the jedi master stood there looking out. The way down to the planet wasn't exactly... natural but the jedi artisans and tech division well... they had done it. A means to move around without ships so having went through it the jedi master was instantly assaulted with the heat even through his protective circlet on his wrist. Exposed chest, short hair and sash but his boots sunk slightly into the mud when the scents came.
Rotted vegetation, methane, corpses, burnts and twisted metal, the arid scent of flesh and ozone from where the fires had ignited with the high oxygen and heated the air. The humid swamp had become oppressively thick and soupy with heat like walking through a furnace in a jawa's sandcrawler. The jedi master though crouched and was waiting for the others while he focused on his protective shielding,
To keep the spores out of his lungs one of the osmatic field rebreathers were used. SMall and compact but it could fit over the face and was based off of technology adapted from the silent. Sadly large scale portable versions were harder to do then one for a single persons breathing. He remained where he was allowing for the others to come through and join him. He could expand his senses and the debris from the ship was spread across a massive area as the jedi master stood back up.
He was uncertain about some of the others who might have come down, they weren't exactly a battle tested unit... still he was certain of one thing. Sera would know and be able to handle herself. The others he could change the tactics as needed with how much skill they had and what he could see or feel. Walking through the swamp itself though he moved finding places were it was more sturdy and he wasn't sinking into the muck. "Be careful where you step.
Objective Two:
Participants: [member="Josh DragonsFlame"] [member="Kat Decoria"] [member="Asaraa Vaashe"] [member="Veiere Arenais"] [member="Mariya Fleischer"] [member="Nida Perl"] [member="Cathbodua"]
"Pressor." The words came out as Cathbodua moved. The lights of the osmatic field were illuminating the area they were in as spores showed in yellow, green, red, purple swirls around them. The anti-sepsis field as her hands were moving along the length of the toydarians body. The spores in the swamp were flesh eating and had infiltrated the air sacs an lungs making the necrotized tissue across most of his body. ""We have more bleeders." ONe of the nurses called out as the jedi healer looked up. Her eyes under the face mask of her uniform gleaming and expressionless.
The arkannes robes though and her bodysuit gleamed in the force as she was using it to revitalize herself and the staff working here. twenty seven hours since they had managed to get down to the planet, moved across on a forced march with converted repulsor lifts that were used by some of the hutts who were on the world. The higher then average oxygen and moisture caused as many issues as sad and the spores were thick in the air and in the engines loved getting them gunked up. The jedi master though was keeping as many on their toes as she could with the force and feeding it to them to augment them.
"Increase the pressor fields and bring in more clamps." Her nurse nodded and started relaying it as one of the droids brought out a trey and the synthetic muscle and flesh. Her laser scalpel sliced into the dead and rotting tissue shearing it off as the droid took it into a tray for disposal in one of the molecular furnaces. Medical waste was being disposed of as quickly as they could and she had gotten all of it as far as she could see. The medical AI in her facemask that scanned and gave feedback where the bioscanners came up. She started patching the toydarian up over the course of another two hours.
The final touch were biodegradable staples that would be absorbed by the body when the synthetic muscle and skin would hold. Connected and sealed with artificial bacta when the droids were finished cleaning up him and the bed. The transferred to another bed in the overflowing recovery area. Normally they might have to many injured, no resources or staff.... but that wasn't the case. Thanks to things like the Kiyomi, crucible medical stations that could develop the supplies and even staff that they needed. If anything the dangerous part was aftercare. THey didn't have the means to fully transport all of them off world to recover without the risk of the spores and sicknesses getting to them again in one of the cities.
She stepped back though removing her hands and front section of her robes from the field. A tingling sensation as it stopped glowing actively cleaning and keeping anything from transferring to the patient. She slid the secondary gloves off of her bodysuits gloves and disposed of them in one of the waste areas. More jedi were supposed to be coming and the ranger medics who were here in the swamps with engineers patching and trying to convert as many of the repulsor sleds together with osmatic fields. She could see the danger though and knew that the fields were heavy, meant to be stationary as opposed to mobile sleds which would strain how it was operating. It would also expose it to more spores, the humid heat outside one of the force domes that cooled the temperature.... so it only felt like is was in the one hundred tens with enough moisture int he air to be soupy.. outside there was exhaustion, heat stroke and people passing out cause they just couldn't stay hydrated.
She stood there though and for a rare moment of reprieve the jedi removed her facial mask. Short black hair, pale skin and dark eyes were looking at one of the nurses who had joined her for a breather. "Here boss some water." Well not completely water, the vital enhancers to it made sure their bodies got back electrolytes, vitamins and just about everything you needed to preform and be up for.. she looked at the chrono since they had started. twenty nine hours working on patients, sometimes elbow deep in rotted flesh that had become puss while you tried to clear it away and remove infections. Other injuries that had come in were from well debris and shrapnel.... ankles deep in blood for the operating theater they had set up.
"Uli had to amputate a wing from one of them and another in triage died. The initial scans didn't show a piece of metal had lodged behind his eye." She drank the water with a look. "Send two more to triage and get some of the portable scanners. What about some of the red tags?" The nearly dead ones they had piled up and waiting to be seen first. Wasn't easy but they needed to make space for some of the yellow tags who were waiting just as long and being added to as green tags got worse from being cramped in such a small area. "We had three die while waiting and two while getting them to the operating theater. Also four greens died and six yellows. The spores here are harder then normal to pick up on the portable scanners."
SHe looked at her. "It is some of the best we have, the larger scanners are in danger of the spores and there is a lot of damage still in areas of the city. The hospital they had isn't exactly standing... nor is their filtration system to purify the water and air." It also was for climate control allowing the toydarians to well not die from the heat. Outside it was worse and oppressive... inside the fields they had set up it was maybe half as bad but still not ideal while fires were raging in certain areas from the methane and oxygen. "but I do have some good news." An eyebrow was perked up looking at the woman. A Hapan who had joined from the medical school in the consortium.
"Alright, don't keep me in suspense now." She looked at her and the woman smirked. Then spoke. "Të ka t Kures C Ai Sniaate Sanil." The got a look but a small tight lipped smile. Few spoke the native tongue among the jedi... one or two hapan's but it was always something nice to see and hear as she rolled her eyes at the words but wasn't going to take something like it as a good thing in all of the bad that they were going through here. The jedi master rose up and the sounds of more patients came back to her. A few minutes break, ten at best sure but she had a moment to breathe and slid her mask back on as she headed back towards the operating theater. "TIme to get back into it."
translation: You are also here with us Snow Beauty"
THe jedi master started heading back in and one of the silent came. Sanding there and she couldn't tell if it was a man or woman... no one realy ever saw them outside of their robes, no one realy knew what they did but it was not entirely the force or a placebo effect as those who might be unconscious and healing but never see or come into contact could get better same as those who knew they were there. The one though held out a datapad with information on it and they had been working in triage with the white and green marks to try and reduce who was no critical to free up some space. Easiert o have someone put a bandaid while the others are cutting down patients.
"Don't suppose you are going to grace us with a surprise that you have a lovely singing voice are you." She looked up which for a Hapan was impressive, six foot and still this thing was taller. 'I thought not... but I like you bob.... you name is bob now for ease since I have no idea what to call you." The silent remained there as she signed the datapad looking at them and they walked off towards the patients. "Thanks for the enlightening conversation as always." She kept walking and knew that some others from the orbital tether and elevator with a few more repulsor sleds to link up and form the caravan so that should be helpful... the real question would be how they manage in the heat and spores.
Objective Three:
Participants: [member="Sko'saht"] [member="Yuroic Xeraic"] [member="Jessica Med-Beq"] [member="Wu Yeoh-Mei"]
Wu had been given a chance to show some skills... well sort of if anything she was going there with the other jedi for them to talk and try to get some ties with the king but this wasn't normal... this wasn't like walking into a place where they were hapy to see them. From the reports that had been given the king had put aside his pride to call for help when they needed it but he was still proud... just not bullheaded... so that meant handling this with a delicate touch.
Also sugar. Wu had been spending most of the trip on the Kiyomi not with the others, she had stayed in the kitchen standing on her little stool to look at and be safer near the stoves and oven. She was wearing the diplomatic robes, deep purple ambassador jedi robes that gleamed and while accuenting her form also projected a calming aura around herself. To better talk with and make possible hostile situations calm. The jedi was also aware of one other thing... this place could get hot.
The world from all information was oppressively hot and then humid on top of it while most of the cities were designed with a form of temperature regulation and climate control. There was still the whole... this is not a good thing for hair or pores approach. Her hands were touching the piping bag as she got the frosting into the bag. THen she was working on the layered object in front of her. Multicolored frosting was already mixed with fruits and berries in the sections between the layers of alternating chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cake. She squeezed and spread it out around before getting a spatula and starting to shape it around like a protective shell.
She finished after awhile and there were small dollops of cherry on top. in a ring. The emblem of the kings house and the emblem of the silver jedi order on the other... together merged and working together as she set a glass dome on it. Transparasteel that could let it been seen before she changed it to conceal it and held it there started to walk towards the main hall of the ship where the other jedi were. Wu held the tray as things were getting explained and looked up and around to see some of the others who were coming with her on this task.
"Hello." The small Jin Jedi spoke and her voice was soft as she used her front to hold up the trey and it might have obscured her face but when dealing with flying creatures you usually did want to look up. She could rely on some of the others though as the sound of the gate came. Opening to them and the jedi master stepped through to a surprise. The domed city above them had gotten something special and she could feel it on her nose. Looking at the white flakes. that she noticed were cold and spoke. "Ahhh."
Something came near her, waddling but smaller then her as she looked. "One of the debris struck out climate control systems, it turned the cooling to full blast and with the moisture in the air." Wu looked back up before she was speaking to the others but also herself. "SNow." THen a crash as one of the roofs caved in from the weight of the snow on it and she noticed that the Toydarians were not flying around. "Oh snow.... ahhhh I made a thank you for having us in your house gift." She looked at the Toydarian who held a sword out for them. They exchanged the gifts and she held the sword while looking at it and... Akari maybe could have liked this at least to make snow angels.
Hmm the sudden thought of her padawan was pressing. She didn't think Akari would be able to well be well on this world and why endanger a five year old if you didn't have to. SHe owed her former padawan Sukai and Kurenai plenty so training the girl and keeping her safe was top priority in most terms. "Cake.... you brought us food." The jin looked at him and nodded her head with her mouth forming a tight lipped smile. "Oh yes, food is essential for diplomatic talks... and drinking.... at least to the Jin... my people. It also works with many other species I am finding but not so much we all regret it in the morning."
That got some snickers but Wu was standing there as two fo the guards took the trey with the cake on it and she straightened her robes out. skylar and synthweave were very nice and comfortable thankfuly. She could feel warm all over thanks to it except her head which was exposed and her nose was like an ice cube but.... she at least had on temperature regulating clothing compared to some that might have come. It retained her bodyheat and she was walking around. Her lightsaber on her hip but she doubted she would need the blade when she looked up at most of the others who might have come down to the capitol with her. "Shall we head in?"
