Learning what was not known

[Sara Lee Jones]

After the battle of kaesh

Sara had been troubled lately many things had roamed her head after the battle, she hoped that would go away from her mind but it had only stayed behind and took, now after thinking it over more, she called upon the mysterious ren, to one she knew barely, needed to know what she had felt, what it was....

So she stood in a hangar on Dosuun, she paced back and forth beside her tie waiting on the ren to arruve, nervous, she had a few dealings with them and even knew one of them, but at large they were mostly mysterious to her...maybe she would find out more...

She'd been summoned. Quite why the pilot desired her attention, Samka wasn't sure but she'd answered the call regardless. They'd met a few times previous but the pair weren't close or anything.

Sam strode into the hanger, catching the eye of [member="Sara Lee Jones"], she marched towards the pilot. There was something different about the woman striding beneath the TIE fighter today.

"Captain? I'm not in the habit of answering social calls. Is there something you wanted to discuss?"

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

She looked over to the ren, indeed soemthing was different, she turned to her and nodded


i needed to know something...at the battle of kaeshanna....i felt myself zone out during the dogfight, like as if something took over when I was in the middle of it...felt the world move slower...just...I find it hard to explain

She looked down, she was confused even at why she couldn't describe it at all...she knew the force existed but she didn't know how it felt when the force was used or present

"You're a pilot," Samka frowned at the woman's explanation. "I believed it was in your training to have faster reflexes than the norm, no?"

Sam walked a little closer to [member="Sara Lee Jones"] as she offered some basic explanations, "Your instincts took and guided you to safety. Is that so difficult to believe?"

Even so as she approached, the Ren silently intruding on the captain's body and mind. A lone tendril reaching in and searching for any proof of Force Sensitivity. The Force was a rare gift but one that should never be ruled out.

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

Sara felt cold suddnely and shivered, [member="Samka Derith"] would be able to feel Sara's force sensitivity it moved back away from the tendril as Sara looked up considering her words

fast yes but these...these were faster then my normal...I find it difficult to understand as why suddenly my instincts got so...acute

 

[Samka Derith]

Sam froze for a moment. It was a mere test to cross off an option. She hadn't actually expected the pilot to have the slightest connection to the Force. How had their screens missed this. The woman was connected to the Force. Not strongly, granted, but a connection was there nonetheless.

She continued walking closer to the pilot, leaving no room for personal space until their faces were little more than an inch away from one another. Samka's crimson eyes gazed upwards, as though they bore directly into the woman's soul. She was innocent, Sam could see that much. It wasn't an ability Sara had attempted to hide, the opposite in fact, she'd called in a Ren to investigate something she did not understand. So for that, the Captain would escape punishment, she'd done nothing wrong. But for now, there were basic tests to perform.

Sam took a few steps backwards, never breaking eye contact with the woman while doing so. Someone had left a tool box in the hanger. It lay harmlessly at the side. She'd change that. The box began to levitate outside the vision of [member="Sara Lee Jones"]. "Look out," was all the Ren said flatly as the heavy metal box was sent hurdling at the fighter pilot's head. She had to see the reaction for herself.

Sara watched he'd her approach, she had took look down slightly, she felt that red gaze fall upon her soul, she stayed still unmoving, she took a breath in as she shivered, why was this girl looking at her doe...what was she trying to find...was this a test?!

huh?

Something inside her told her to duck, she looked to the right seeing the box flying towards her...and in that second, time seemed to slow down, she could hear her own heart, she suddenly moved quickly to the right, she lost her balance then and fell on her back but however had barely dodged the box as she blinked panting as she looked around

t..the heck was that?!

She said as she bolted up as she dusted herself off quickly

 

[Samka Derith]

"An experiment," the teenage Ren replied as the toolbox crashed to the ground away from them with a mighty clatter.

It was true. Even though [member="Sara Lee Jones"] felt like any other ordinary man or woman most of the time, there was a small but noticeable spike in the Force.

"Fascinating," she muttered. "Captain, what do they teach people like you about the Force?" Samka asked. Her own education would be wildly different to that of a pilot. Many people apparently denied its very existence. It would be wise to first establish the base knowledge she was dealing with before explaining further.

 

[Sara Lee Jones]

[member="Samka Derith"]

A experiment...was she bloody crazy?! She just threw a probably good...5..maybe 8 pound box straight for her head with her frwakimg...whatever it was!

the force uh..it's what uhh you the ren use and the uhhh Jedi use, some like field or something I don't know, I know in my Academy days some weird guy came and took blood after that some people were taken away...I honestly don't know what it is

 

[Samka Derith]

If [member="Sara Lee Jones"] showed.. discomfort, fear, anything of the sort, Samka didn't acknowledge it. Her eyes just continued to flicker up and down, left to right, scanning every inch of the fighter captain before her.

She resisted the urge to smack the woman for her ignorance. "The Force," she explained, "Cannot be compared to a field. It is what binds all life in the galaxy together. From the highest Jedi master to the lowest rodents. All living things exist with the aid of the Force, some of us are born with a capability to manipulate it to do our biding, as you just saw," Sam gestured to the toolbox on the floor she'd thrown. "This Force sensitivity can manifest itself in different ways," the girl elaborated further, "At it's strongest, one is capable of the most extraordinary, superhuman feats," Sam's fingertips flickered with tiny strands of lightning for the briefest moment as a quick show of power. "In more simple incarnations, it can be something as rudimentary as, say, heightened reflexes."

With that last sentence, Sam met Sara's gaze with a meaningful look in her eye. "Did they take your blood?"

She was shocked say the least, this....the force....it didn't make much sense to her at all, how was everything bonded by this one thing...everything around her...she got a minor headache trying to understand it all so suddenly...in top of that people could use it to their bidding to her was just...well...odd

She looked back up to her as she watched the lightning flicker in her hand, she jumped a little at that but her eyes showed wonder at it, as she went on she mentioned heightened reflexes can be influenced and assisted with the force she started thinking again...if she had it...could it be....

Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts as she looked down at the girl as she nodded

it was mandatory for all students...however...

She squinted her eyes as she tried to remember something finally she remembered and spoke again

I remember there had been a incident where some vials had been dropped and clean up was called after that....just resumed normal studies
