Lothal grave robbing

[Story Teller (NPC)]

Ciel knew she had the force, She had always used it. But there was only one saber for her, And that was Ezra's original saber. the first saber gun created. It was no secret that she loved her home world and they still feared the force from the decades of torment brought upon those who used it. anyone found with the power was cast out. Some say to the rebuilt taken town other say off world, although Ciel never displayed any form of power because she had never had anyone. She lived alone, ate alone, worked alone and was alone. In ways that's how she liked it away from those who where not the true empire, unlike those with posers who claim to be them even if it was lies. Then again that's what the one with was good at. Still every now and again she had to brake from routine, Ciel had to call someone to help her. The person had been known as the best treasure and artifact hunter in the galaxy, [member="Matsu Ike"]. A transmission had been sent out a couple of weeks ago to meet today at the old imperial base on Lothal. All there was to do now was wait and see.

It had been quite a surprise when she had gotten a call asking for help. She was known as a treasure hunter by some but no one really knew if she had ever found more then old books and a few relics. Still her services were around while she came out in the winter eagle with a small smirk on her face heading down towards the planet. The satchel of equipment and the jedi robes she was wearing hummed with force energy before she was setting it down. The cloak she was wearing covering her up while the twin sabers were n her hip. "Now where is this girl?" She was wondering as she was feeling the jedi outpost that was built on the planet while she went towards one of the settlements.

For a second ciel could feel a shimmer in the force. Although she didn't know it was exacly the force just an instinct. Something told her that she needed to be ready, her speeder was fueled and so was a spare in case. The grate thing of living in an old empire base was no one wanted to go inside and it was full of treasure. Many still think the defence systems worked, well the didn't for a time but they do now to keep intruders out. She made her way over to a large terminal that watched the streets to see an ominous woman walking through the place. She matched the description of her appearance. Only time will tell what this person in like. Ciel turned the defences off in preparation for her arrival, and she made it clear to look for the old empire base.

Matsu continued through the street and she paused for a moment feeling something as her attention was going out towrds the old base and she rose up into he air. Some sounds of surprise as the jedi master let the force roll around her in an invisible wave until she surged forward at the base. Her eyes flicking back and forth with the mass of her hair trailing behind her before stopping at one of the buildings and landing on the roof. Her attentions went further and further towards some of the life she felt on the planet. Slowly holding a hand out while she was moving and vibrating with the force energy while she was moving through the wall towards the life she could sense inside. THe sigil on her neck glowing with the force energy it was infusing her with to get inside and meet whoever was here. Might as well for fun.

Ciel could feel it, the force of another. It was strange and in sense a little uneasy. It had been the first time she'd felt such power in someone, and from someone. It was no mistake that it was the woman she'd requested. She tried to extend her own force out as a beacon. Whether it worked or not she wasn't sure. Ciel only knew what she presumed ad basics. How to lift and move things about. Even with enough focus she could move multiple things at the same time. If anything it came in handy when restoring old imperial tech. Especially the ship she'd just finished restoring. Her next project would probably be a tiefighter then a Gonzanti-class cruiser. It was amazing how much stuff had been left around, and even better how much still worked. But that aside with the woman now on approach Ciel set her mind on something she wanted badly. Ezra's saber and hopefully some other stuff.

As she came through the jedi master paused, her connection to the force strengthening without the use of the force power but it was still something you only used sparingly. Her attention on the sigil glowing on her chest and she was glad for the protection it provided and being a force battery was always good as she slowly started walking and straightening her outfit. "Hello." She said it loud enough without yelling and for it to be able to echo throughout. She didn't want to alert anyone who wasn't the one on the edge of her life sense as she continued forward clasping her hands behind her back.

Ciel tunred around and looked up at the opened up section of the roof. She saw the woman stood there at the edge. Well it was certainly one way to make an entetance. "Matsu Ike I presume?" She said kinda shouting it out. Ciel couldn't really make out an appearance from here but who else could it really be. Force users in this city where rare still. Hell she could be the only force user living here. It wasn't the best thing really, she had power but no one to train her other than some basic text from the old imperial system. Then again all that says is force users tend to have a lightsaber and abilities no normal person has. Maybe while this person helps find the saber she was after she'd at least give some training of how to better use the powers she could have.

"Yes" There was a small bow of her head as she moved down towards the girl and looked around. "Well it isn't the worst place to be or stay and it does have its charms." She was sayign it to be nice but had stayed in worse... really worse while she was clasping her hands behind her back. "So do you have an idea of where we should go and start looking for whatever you are searching for?"

Ciel smiled even though the woman was obvious judging her home of sorts. "ehh I like it and I find it comfy. I like to be shrouded by tech and especially that of the imperial kind. I hope to find them soon and join their cause." Everything she'd learnt so far was from imperial records, maybe in ways she brainwashed herself with that knowledge and when someone offended that she was very narrow minded at how grate they was. Sure not everything was perfect and a lot of corruption in the ranks. But they achieved a lot and after the fall of the last true emperor things picked up and actually became better slowly, and it's what they became is what she is fascinated about the most. Still most of that was just story's now lost in history and forgotten by most. Looking at the woman she nodded at her. "I have some idea, the records show a temple here on lothal and Ezra brigers and his acosiates used this place more in the later years, so I have belief a lot of his personal belongings may be there from when he passed away. Amongst those items I hope there is his saber and a few other trinkets of my linking. Obviously since you are helping me we can work out how to pay you of course." Walking over to her bag she picked up her bag and gun placing it on the hinges she put on her speeder for easy access when she hunted. "I took the liberties of preparing a second speeder for you to use. Any equipment to heavy for your shoulders place it in the box behind." Already in the box was rope, clips and other essentials like food and water. It was a good feature about these speeder been able to tow hover crates behind.

"I know a couple of Imperials, well the latest ones sadly seems everytime it gets started someone goes for making it into an empire and draws the ire of the galaxy." She had seen Atrisia fall into that trap and Bastion when Ronin Fel tried to lead them and now there was Crina and its people as going outside and hearing about the plan of where they were going she had a nod on her head for that. "You have put thought into that, that is good it means we won't have to search for a starting place. Just be prepared and know you might not find everything or you might find more then you thought you would." She climbed onto he speeder and looked at the girl. "Lead the way."

Ciel nodded and started up the speeder and slowly driving it to the front gate. A lot of the systems she'd worked on her self upgrading to suit her, like facial recognition, retnes scans and even hand prints. A lot of this was tied into the doors to access different parts of the facility and even activate or deactivate things. The main gate been one of these that was on the security systems. As she pulled up ciel placed her hand on the pannle, it was blue for a moment while a white bar went from the top to bottom before it flashed green. A loud bang was let out as the locks disengaged followed by the motors in the door as it lowered into the floor. People on the other side tried to have a nosey inside, but all they would see was the defended all pointing at the door and around the complex. "Come on." She said setting her speeder in motion. Soon as matsu was clear of the door it would automatically behind her. "This place is quite far out, I've been there before but it's sealed off quite good. Since I don't have any experience with the force related stuff I'm in the blue."

Traveling and watching the woman leading the way to the facility. There was a great many things that could happen before her attention was on some of the areas around the world and she looked at it. Upgrades and improvements had been made which added to her interest about the woman... She was doing a few things different and making a home while Matsu followed after her. "Well when it comes to the force there is some that can be taught, my company makes self training kits if you wish for you. You can practice the basics so you don't have to run and try to find training with some of the different groups in the galaxy."

As they made their way out of the city on the highway, buildings got smaller in size and soon not at all to be surrounded by a sea of tall grass. She had spent a small time thinking about the self training kits. They would offer useful but training here on lothal would be risky even in the facility she made her home. Besides what if she made a mistake and seriously injured herself, how would she be able to explain that. Then again no one would even be able to get to her anyway so really what's she got to lose. Ciel know she can use the force so why not utilize the abilities, the knoelage and the chance to make a difference. "I will take you up on that offer, it would probably bring less suspicion to me here. Although I wish I knew more than levitate stuff. At first it was kinda cool but noe I kinda thirst for more." She said keeping her eyes focused to her surroundings. In the distance she could see the grass collapse making a lines of where something was running. She slowed her speed cautious to not frighten what it was. The had an idea what the animals where. They where probably loth cats. Quite often the critters would come out this far to play and find food to take back.

Matsu would have to grab from her ship one of the boxes of equipment for the girl when they got back but for now while she was moving with her as she was looking for some of the creatures from the speeder before her senses expanded out. Finding the beating of the creatures heart until she motioned. "There are some of he local creatures here." She kept it going slow and was pushing out to avoid and keep them calm so they didn't attack or flee and alter something else that they were on approach. She had her hand out while the other rested on the speeder inching it forward. "You set the pace, but there is something to be said for learning how to control the creatures of the world. If you wish these ones would be perfect for learning the first steps of beast taming."

Ciel brought the speeder to a halt and looked at matsu Ike. "Uhh sure if your willing to show me how it's done. Would this mean I can have pets without having to actually buy them and domesticate them by conventional means?" She asked with a grin. She did like loth cats but they where... well they where difficult, not only to capture but train and brake them from been wild. "I promise it wouldn't be to hurt them just give them a safer home. Besides I have a big place for animals to be safe in and protected against hunters and such." This had definitely gave her a smile and made her happy to learn something new.

 

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Ciel Bridger"]

"Yes that is one thing that is can mean but you will have to be careful. The stronger the creature the harder it is to tame them and even then you can't be lazy with it. The creatures can still attack you if you don't try and train or teach them still in the conventional sense." She had seen some padawans and masters who made it seem like a one time thing, that they only had to wave their hand and instance friend.... but it was more then that as Matsu stopped and hopped off the speeder leading the way towards the cat as she maintained her focus and motioned to stand next to her. "Now stand here and focus your mind, clear away all distraction and seek to have the animals be with you. THeir minds are your mind and your image is their friend."

Ciel cut the engine to the speeder and dismounted. She followed matsu upto the loth cat's. "Erm okay." She said with a confused look on her face. ciel Reached out with her arm and focused her eyes on the creatures as they came closer. Only two of them seemed curious of ciel and matsu as they approached. As she reached out into the mind of one of then she was able to feel it's feeling and making a connection. It was a unique experience for her and she'd never tried this before, but she had a feeling that the animal was under her control per say. Crouching down she reached out her hand towards the loth cat followed by it rubbing it's head on her hand. "Urrrrm did I do it right?" she asked.

[member="Ciel Bridger"]

Matsu was watching her for right now and seeing the sight of it while she went forward. "Hard to say." She saw how the girl was getting the cat to respond and making an indication with her head though that she was doing we;;. At least well enough not to get attacked and aggravate it as the jedi master clasped her hands behind her back letting the force energies dance out just in case. "That is going well." She was impressed looking at the cats now with the girl as she finally reached out taking a moment to look into the tall grass. "You have done well but do not lose the focus."

 

[Story Teller (NPC)]

[member="Matsu Ike"]

Ciel nodded while keeping focus on the loth cat. "Uhu." She muttered while keeping her focus on the small creature. "So errm... hhow long have you been doing this?" The women knew a grate deal about the force, Ciel was also glad she sought this woman out the help her. If it wasn't for this person she'd not have had the opportunity to learn a new skill. it wasn't long till the animal was practically on her lap with ciel's hands petting it making the create make various noises. She'd stand up with it cradled in her arm's and looking at matsu. Something told her the creature was docile and wouldn't attack her. "Yay I think I have a little companion." She said in a quiet and exited tone of voice.

Matsu looked at her and thought about it while she waited there. "I have been trained since I was four years old." She was watching how the girl progressed and found herself a companion. "That will serve you well then as we continue forward." She was looking towards the place they were headed and letting the frce energies guide her while she motioned. "Are you going to be able to hold her while on the speeder?" A look of concern and interest to see what this raw talent could do. There were always ways to work with the force and you could maybe keep it calm on such a trip.
