Jedi Master Jessa Haran went where the force took her.

And that meant she'd been brought to Arbra, many times, in fact. It was rare for the wandering jedi to put down roots anywhere, but there was something very special about this place. It had started as an inkling of an idea, an itch just out of reach of scratching. So, Jessa had made a choice: Arbra could be home -- even better, a haven. Once, long ago, this place had been inhabited by the rebels. It was time to revamp and bring the wayward Jedi home to roost. Or, at least give them a place to rest during their journeys through-out the galaxy. Armed with a plan, Jessa restored what she could of the former rebel base.

It was a work in progress, of course.

There was quite a lot to do, and Jessa finally accepted the fact that she couldn't do it alone. It wasn't often that she had contact with other Jedi, let alone the Order, but she had reached out to Master Vodet for assistance. Mostly, she needed an outside opinion... someone else to voice whether or not this was a mad endeavor. Proceed, or abandon this foolishness. Now, she waited at the 'hangar bay,' a cliffside with ample space for a ship to set down. Or she hoped so. Closing her eyes, she focused on the caverns that ran beneath the mountain -- the base was clear to her now, as was the underground city that had once been... and something else. Her wayfinder's sense told her many things about this place: hope, safety, and rest. There were other echos left behind in the force, but those were the most noticeable to her.

It wasn't long before the shape of a ship was visible against the sky. A smile grew on her face. She didn't know Master Vodet... yet, and she was looking forward to meeting him. It would be a nice change of pace to confer with a fellow Jedi. She raised a hand up into the air and offered an enthusiastic wave, as though those inside the ship could see her.

His job within the Order was definitely to help everyone. Wayseekers, enclaves, Jedi who wanted to voice a grievance, people who wanted to make their own training vessel. He enjoyed the work. He liked working with the various Jedi and their ideas. Word came to him from another Master, who was settling on Arbra to make an enclave.

Not a shock, the world or the enclave. More of who it was. Haran was the type of Jedi who kept moving, not unlike Starchaser, but even the most vagrant bird needs a nest. He tried to tell Jared Starchaser that, but his nest seemed to be to bother him on Kattada or take one of the larger Mon Cal Cruisers and do his… whatever.

He had taken his blockade runner, Hawksbill to the world to meet with the Vagrant Master. The ship touched down, Vodet sensing excitement if not seeing it. The lumbering turtle stepped from the ship.

“Master Haran.” He stated in greeting.

"Master Vodet," she said in response. "Welcome to Arbra." Jessa smiled and greeted the master with the warmth one might show an old friend. She did have enough restraint when it came to hugging her fellow Jedi; some folk were not huggers. She herself, well, she was. "Thank you so much for accepting my invitation."

She hadn't truly known how much interest the Order would have in her little project.

"Please, this way," she started, gesturing towards the nearby mouth of a cave. "You know, they used to call this place hole-in-the-ground. But I have come to call it Haven."

It really was much more than a simple hole in the ground, which became quite apparent as they entered the cave. A large chamber waited within, where she had done quite a lot of work to make it look a bit less like a cave. There were lights, small buildings set into the cave's natural shape, and even a table for meetings. Of course, she'd hoped to make it look a bit more home-y ahead of Vodet's visit, but still she felt pleased by what she'd managed to accomplish. For now, she returned her full attention to the Jedi Master at her side.

Jessa was not well connected when it came to other Jedi, most would not have heard her name at all... but she wasn't quite so disconnected enough that she hadn't heard about the events of Thyferra.

"Tell me, Master Vodet, how are things within the Order?"

Leaning forward on the enhanced mangrove cane, the large reptile’s personality and aura defied the size of the being. Large and strong, but his personality was calm and easy, more the plant lined low energy waters of the nearshore than the dark depths of the deeper sea. “Thank you for having me here. I appreciate getting to see the newest Enclave going up.”

His speed reflected the parable of his less sapient cousins against faster furry hares. But while he walked, Vodet observed and took note. Seeing the world, it was very different than his preferred environments. Looking around, he tried to smile, in a way a human could understand.

“Did you do stone shaping in here on your own?” With technology or the Force, it was a feat.

“Things on Naboo are… fluid, as they always are. The battle of Thyferra has shaken some faiths, I believe.”
