Nightseer (PM for Invite)

[Matsu Ike]

The sounds came to her ears first as she felt the wind die down, Matsu was in the sky with her Del-Ya crew member as the blue horse with rainbow colored hair was knicking and racing her. They had been at the temples on the world, deep in the ruins of the swamp and as the Go nagai who had come here to reintegrate to the society, the ones who had come to live on their homeworld found purpose they had shown the jedi a vision. She had seen where she needed to go and since securing the bulls holocron she had been careful with some things. It wasn't safe out there to be sharing some information and Matsu touched down onto the ground as the flying horse came next to her and stood tall. The shrieks and rage coming from the glowing red As-Aski as she caught up was kind of funny and Matsu looked at her with a small smile on her lips. "So Satele it is then." She held a small smirk back.

They were heading into the map room of the temple and Matsu stopped for a moment as her nieces now eighteen appeared out the corner of her eyes. Her half sister there in the private section of the temple they had recovered and fortified. The Ike's sections build in and under the large Silver Jedi temple that kept her cousins and daughters safe. Hanna as well with her child since it provided something many other things did not. A sense of protection and family with a large living area filled with lounge chairs and couches. The holonet connection an viewscreen taking up a wall as she had spent much of her time recovering the force hunting down some of the most dangerous creatures in the galaxy for credits. That had afforded them some nice luxuries she could use while going through the living area that opened into the larger kitchen with an island of carved stone.

Matsu was looking over all of it and their amenities had been secured, installed and carved out by some of the best with the temple at her own expense, then hidden away near the bottom of the temple behind a secured door that no one else opened except her family. Being the closest thing to a treasure hunter within the Silver Jedi and one of the only if not the only who was searching to recover all she could for the order to gain knowledge and protect from dangerous artifacts... She felt lonely. Her nieces there giving her a hug while she saw her daughters and her half sisters. The different cousins and a few other things that brought all of them around often. Matsu set her bag down in the eating area and took a bite of some of the food laid out for them by the serving droids. She saw the rooms at the bottom of the stairs and started heading for those while she stripped down.

The mass of scars and tattoo's across her body were covered in grime and dirt same as her robe and then air dried gunk from dealing with some of the more strange creatures on the planet. The jedi master raised her arms while she let the droid follow behind her and grab the clothing to try and clean while she shrugged out of everything and cleaned herself. Scrubbing until she was almost raw in some places and then allowing the large mass of her hair that cascaded past her ankles to the floor to be untied and look even larger. Her top knots and tight braids to make it look smaller then it was laid out all around her while she slowly put herself into a steam box to relax and let it sooth her. Matsu raised an eyebrow though at the insistence it be used to better comfort her but stopped protecting when the tension was released and she realized how much she had been holding in.

Matsu remained there for some time while she was letting her mind make sense of the vision she had been given. It wasn't like it was some go here thing, she had seen the dangers of them and was using what information she knew to interpret the visions..... As that would be the best one could do. Slowly as her body released its tension and she relaxed she was able to go back into the dream and relive it. Seeing herself standing on a world covered in rock and blue crystals, strange beings moving about that were like inky black shadows against black in the night. She could taste it in her mouth and smell it. Rain, jasmine and beneath that... something old. This wasn't a fresh rain it was old, from a time long ago and it was a memory. Not hers, no it was the woman who she was seeking ever since finding that mysterious holocron with Vulpesen. Matsu breathed in the scent deeply.

"Come little jedi." The voice was smooth, sultry and someone low all at the same time resonating like it was several voices speaking at once but from the same mouth. Matsu was looking at some of the beings there in her dream before she came out of it and was gasping, her body out of the box and standing there as the steam escaped in the room. She grabbed the ladle and poured more water over the fires letting the steam billow and the embers smoulder before she was leaving and wrapping a white robe around herself. Her hair clinging to her shoulders and face before she was back in her room looking at the wall of equipment beside the large vault. Her clothing laid out by the droid while Matsu slowly let the droid brush her hair and dry it so it wasn't everywhere. A tight braid in several places and then bound together into a larger one before she emerged.

"How do I look?" There was a look on the face of her half sister and there was a look as she stood there in the glistasilk jedi kimono and slid one of the armorweave robes over her shoulders. Matsu looked at the small ornate box she had with the two force crystals the eye of the sun and heart of the universe. Recovered by her and secured under a jedi temple with only one or two knowing where they were. She didn't want anyone to break in and steal them like had happened on Tython... twice. The second time she had heard was literally the jedi grandmaster stealing from her own jedi and hiding the holocrons so only she and one or two others could find them. Talk about trust.... it was almost funny if it wasn't so sad. Her friends had served her well and her ability to use several forms compared to some. Matsu closed her robe over the kimono and secured it with a utility belt.

"Well what do you know." There was a look between them as they both laughed and Matsu slowly walked out carrying her equipment pack. Cleaned and loaded with notes, her wrist computer and supplies but also some of the jedi journals she had managed to rewrite from memory. Why take when she could memorize and review later with her skills at memory enhancement. She had composed them into a single tome that dominated her pack but it was worth it as she used the belts many many compartments to carry the things she needed like ammo, spikes and she had a wrist comlink. She also had her information from the holocrons for map locations and points in the galaxy to try and find a route to that world. The E'ron class would do as she entered the map room of the jedi temple and turned it on. The link up to the Will of the Force as the AI on board brought up a map of the galaxy.

"Alright now overlay the information from the sky temple." There was an orange outline of the galaxy as the coordinates it had given her appeared along with a path from the temple. "Now add in the ones we found in the celestials temple in the Maw." She was looking at the blue lines and had a smirk on her face as they intersected at several points but it wasn't enough. She needed just a little more while speaking. "Now the ones from Farlax and Mimban." A red line appeared as all three went over one section of space and Matsu spoke. "Enhance it." The computer zoomed in looking at her while a series of pulsars obscured a planet. Matsu grasped the hologram of it and held it there for a moment cradling the world in her hands while she searched the image of the surface but wasn't seeing much. A small smile on her face though while she tossed it back up and the holomap of the galaxy went away.

"We have a heading." She said it to no one but came out of the academy into the large hanger they had while her ship was being prepped. Larger at least but with a purpose as the E'ron class was taking her up to the Harlequin in orbit that was being set up. She had invited her padawans or students to come with her as a valuable experience and because they had been doing well. They deserved to see what some jedi did aside from just fighting the sith all the time. Sometimes they got their hands dirty while high above in orbit the sight of the Harlequin sat at least able to run on minimal systems. The lab of the ship and the barracks for the explorers corp were not in use and it had minimal crew right now but it could still be built up and function for her purposes. Mostly meeting the padawans at the drydock constructing it and getting them onto her ship. The docking was done quickly and she shuffled them aboard.

"Alright listen up." She didn't know who would show up and there were others she had invited to make this trip. Ones she trusted or at least ones she knew could be trusted with some of the secrets. She wasn't a great jedi but she was at least going to have a group that could come and help her out. "I have most of you here because I am old and cranky, I have been for the most part the jedi artifact acquisitions department for many years and well it gets tiring. Under appreciated, under staffed and under everything else. So I made this trip for some to go searching at some old coordinates. I don't know what we are going to find but with some of the artifacts there were a partial set of coordinates that when combined led to a small planet just outside the galactic disc and we have a window to get there. So stow your stuff and be ready cause we're going to go on a little adventure."

She let it hang in the hand while allowing them the time they needed to get prepared. A look on her face while she was moving and had hoped to get someone from Armatech either [member="Draco Vereen"] or one of his associates. Lady Kay and Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha were both skilled and could provide some tactical support in case there were dangerous thing son the planet as she was looking onto it all. There was also the one from the corporate Alliance Taeli Raaf who she had remembered offered protection at the time and was wondering if such an offer still held. She didn't want to promise treasures but the crystals that were in the ground of the planet could be valuable more then some and it was a resource that could be used of some weapons not just their lightsabers. Matsu moved towards the briefing table and there was plenty of space for everyone if they came in the quarters and hangers.

OOC NOTE: Well Padawans of Matsu ho for good quality posts and have some fun with it as there is a small prize want to get at the end. Also feel free to make into a dev thread for some material if you need it. Silver Jedi will be taking the holocron at the end as they have done the bulk of work.

[Nagate Hei]

A request had been sent to Nagate from his master for an artifice mission. The planet was unknown to him, even unknown to the holonet when he checked it for information. In the end, Nagate packed light and made for the docks to intercept the Harlequin to board with a few other students of Master Ike. It had been some time since his last mission. The one before him was clouded in mystery and intrigue which slightly enticed the curiosity of the youthful Jedi.

In transit to the master's ship, he spent the time meditating on the mission, focusing on the Force to prepare his mind for what may come. He'd faced a sea monster on Mon Cal and survived to save a young Nautolan. He was confident in his abilities and his training to see him through any hardship he faced. The Force was very active today, maybe in anticipation of the coming expedition the Silver Jedi's were attempting.

Once at the ship, Master Ike was there to usher them inside and he stored his bag on a bunk and reported to the Briefing room where he would meet the other Jedi and get the low down from Master Ike. He wasn't nervous, but his mind was trying all possibilities that could be forthcoming. Nagate took a seat and awaited the initiation of the mission. His mask was stored inside his jacket as well as his saber and vibroknife. That was the combat gear he'd be bringing with him on this trip.

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu had left plenty of room for the padawans and security teams to move about the ship. It might not be the grandest compared to some but she had one of the most trusted crews in the order and as she moved through the ship could take them all in. Several more of her cousins were there while she allowed her hands to glide over the cockpit of the ship, bridge controls and a hand with her pilot. "Take us out." She wasn't one to question fate or chances they could have, with the information they had been working towards and found through hard work she had the chance to get something done instead of sitting and demanding. She watched from the viewports as they were closing the ship jump to hyperspace and stood at the ready for anything. They were going into unknown territories and looking for a planet that was hard to access. Any number of things could end up going wrong and she didn't want to endanger the lives of her padawans or crew while she walked from the bridge into the private rooms. Below were the large crew dorms for the teams of soldiers or researchers they had brought along.

She moved to check the cargo hold of the ship and was looking at the Liran engineer who was overseeing the equipment as she spoke. "Please tell me we have more then enough to make is Saeko?" There was a look that ran across the blue woman's cheeks as she spoke placing a hand on her bosses shoulder. "We'll have more then enough, just going to have to rev up those converters from Mrrew he got for us. You paid him well and I am not inclined to let anythign happen to our ship boss lady." There was no smile, no emotion, she was just herself depressing but honest and to the point while the rest of the crew was going about. The doctor with them doing all she could with her medical assistant were loading up their supply room. She could see their science officer and even her niece and daughters old guardian/babysitter there. He had stayed as a soldier with his experience and was just as valued as the sirens who had their weapons in their bunk. The entire crew was there even some of her pets that had come to join her while she was going off towards the lift to head back up to her room.

She wasn't in a hurry to change as her nieces were there, they had come along to help and the twins with their white hair and black eyes sat with their mother who was going over some of the maps for her. Their bunks across the hall with space for Reiko and Orihime as well as their little sister. A nicely fashioned six person room that somehow gave great space but that was beside the point as they spoke. "We have the maps ready and from the information in the records we have been able to that... taxmen really like hearing themselves write and this was really boring. Ledgers are not interesting aunt Matsu." As they said it she had to sit there and agree with their assessment on it. She hated pouring over ledgers and trying to find that one detail that could break a search wide opened. It was why she had a team of her family who could do it as she was moving off into the area of her bed to change from her thicker robes into one of the bodysuits. Regulated and made for travel like this so she could be comfortable and could wear some of the armor with it. She changed quickly heading off to looking things over in the holoroom.

The massive place was filled with what she needed and looking at the padawan Nagate she gave a nod of her head while their course showed in the display. They were rounding and going through a section of space you could see from several places until it even cleared the galactic plane. She held herself up tall and ready for anything while moving towards the greater idea of what they might be able to find before heading down to the world and towards the area that seemed the most likely. She would have to meditate and search to see what they could find on the world or if this was the right place but that feeling deep down in her gut was telling her something was there. The last time had been a bust for her learning and finding but all the notations and evidence pointed that way. She let out a small chuckle and spoke. "You should be ready and make sure you have the equipment. We have a full armory and equipment room so don't worry about that." She let the thought play out across her face while going about things and pushing it all towards the searching of the planet with her mind at first. They would need someone skilled possibly later.

For now though while she sat there going over the information so many more things were coming to her mind, most of which were where they were in hyperspace. She had wished they had brought Ikki along with her talents in navigation or gotten someone independent but that was questionable. She wanted to keep the information and what they were doing as close to the vest as possible and not have it leak out or fall to other people. Last thing she needed were more witch hunts searching for things without actually asking. She had some food brought out and made ready for the crew as all sat at the large table and left plenty of room for the others to join them. Their rooms able to stow their stuff before she was breathing in and out and leaning back in the chair just a little. The ticking of the engine and there while they went through hyperspace towards the first set of coordinates that she had managed to get from the holocron at the sky temple. Vulpesen sharing that as they had searched for another set and another clue in their travels. "I hope you are all enjoying your food, we have plenty and bays to grow more as needed it will just take some time."

ooc note: there is no rush, you can already be on the ship in one of the quarters. Just trying to keep the pace and momentum

 

[Katagiri Ike]

The sights and sounds were the first thing that came to her. The harshness of Hoth while the woman let her hair fall free from the confines of the wrap and mask. Here in the hanger there was some of the harder to find grass and warmer areas. The places where the tauntauns gathered leading in the wampa but that was fine. She had her blades while moving and didn't need to focus to much on the details. In truth Katagiri after all this time was just glad she was going to get to have the chance to... relax and enjoy herself rather then cart around all that extra weight that hadn't went anywhere. She was mostly looking at the equipment from the protectorate and left it behind taking what was hers and packing it into her equipment pack as she walked out to her shuttle to get taken to the ship up above. A small and sad tight lipped smile on her face as she stepped into the confines of it and with a full curtain of white hair all around her head she looked at some of the men with her. Nothing special just bodyguards to make sure she got to her ship in orbit and was safe enough. The trip up there allowing her to watch the frozen world for a little while longer as she headed home.

A look upon her face as she walked down the hall of the ship and raised her hands to her hair. The snow white curtain of her hair around her shoulders as she entered the room and stripped off the layers of white kimono and armor. She was looking at the large view screen that was showing the course home to Atrisia and she sat down. Her hand coming out to pull a brush to herself as she started brushing and listening to the music that played low while she was focused on her small enjoyments. The humming of the engine while they were in hyperspace and the sounds of the crew being happy. it kept her interested and she was washing and then dressing in the large room for herself as she straightened her hair and went to the bridge as she looked up at the crew while she stood there at her full height before going to the seat in the middle of the bridge. She sat in the chair as she was positioning herself and placed a hand on her knee looking over the screen they had made. "Captain." The man turned to look at her as he stood there stroking the mustache on his face. "Take us home." There was a look on his face as they dropped out of hyperspace with new coordinates and jumped.

The trip to the world took its time but she sat there in the captains chair looking upon the crew as they walked across the bridge with a grin upon her face. She stood in the house looking out upon the courtyard. Junko's family was rich compared to some and well smart to make their credits in something that could be sustained as needed, the mountain estate itself was overlooking the valley with the large Imperial citadel and she was standing there overlooking some of the ones in the open area. Excitement showing on her face while she was getting some things packed for them to use and have at the ready while she was standing with some of them. "See that is is all packed away and ready for transport." There were some nods of approval and she was walking around one of the small ponds they had with small fish while in the distance the ship was being loaded up. Her child was there walking around and she looked at the little girl with her raven black hair while wrapping an arm around her before they were heading inside the ship and to the lounge area with her seat. "Now stay here and we are going to go and see your auntie Matsu." There were smiles as they were heading off.

The trip from Atrisia to Shri-Tal though... that was easier. Using the back ways and relaxing as she laid there on the ship watching the other people was all she could do to enjoy herself and find a sense of inner peace. Katagiri wanted to enjoy her time and playing with the little baby girl as she was going through hyperspace was worth it. They had some old designs and plans appearing as well with what could be used that she was sharing and giving to her half sister. The more lovable one despite some of the bizarre things she had seen happen of late. The white haired woman didn't want to waste this chance to see family, didn't want to waste this chance to get stronger in the force and she didn't want to waste this time where she could carve out her own section of the vast underground labyrinth on the world to live and reside in. Get some of the talented stone workers who could make her home into a work of art and design with function. The many creatures there and what she had discovered about the Go Nagai and their worlds... no better yet their politics and function. She could make a small name for herself on that world while she saw the planet and ship being built in orbit.

"The Harlequin." She said it as she walked the length of the dry dock and saw the ship itself being built. It wasn't a grand flagship but it was a grand exploration craft designed to provide those who wanted to learn with a better experience then some. After her work on the Nirvana she could see the benefit of having ships that were something other then just another massive war ship. She had been happy to provide what she could insight wise for the exploration and deep space ship that would pave the way for the Outrigger Project. Soemthing grand and on par with the Leviathan or Acerbatis. She entered the E'ron class with her daughter in one arm and equipment in the other while being led to her room on the ship and putting her daughter crib that was there waiting for her. The woman walked seeing her nieces, her half sister Saia and there was Matsu sitting down as the ship was being made ready to take off and head into hyperspace. There was more then enough room for her at the table as she arrived and got some food giving her hugs and seeing the padawan who was there. Seeing any who were there before the adventure really began and she was prepared for whatever might be coming.

 

[Nagate Hei]

Talk of an armory and equipment room peaked Nagate's need for gear. He moved to the room and began to gather a small bag of supplies. He packed a grappling hook and cable dispenser, specs and he found a set of expeditionary armor. He donned the armor and slid his coat over the top. His mask was nestled under his arm. He felt like it was part of what helped him stay calm and attuned to the Force.

He returned with the bag on his shoulder as the ship traveled through hyperspace. The crew was bustling about at their respective tasks and paid no mind to the black clad Padawan. His black hair fell in front of his eyes, it needed a trim.

Nagate didn't know where they were going, what the planet was like nor the conditions the planet held.

Matsu was looking at the ones there for dinner, her thoughts on the purpose and danger of this trip overshadowed as she looked upon the map that appeared. Pulsars and the path taking them as she directed the crew around different sections of the journey. They had a goal and soon the ship came out of hyperspace, looking out over the galaxy as it rotated and in the far distance was the sight of the others. The companion galaxies that were bringing her some thoughts about the journey's there and plan to create project outrigger. A way for them to go to the companion galaxies and possibly with enough power and construction efforts seek out other galaxies across the infinite blackness of the void. The vong had come to them across it without hyperdrive or measures in place and she was looking to try and rectify that. The silentium and other beings had come from other galaxies, journey's had been paid for to explore outside their galaxy. She had bigger plans then that though and knew eventually she might have to bring in outs who were like minded in the idea.... This journey though as she looked on would be a lot easier as they jumped again.

Towards the well from above the galactic plane where they could bypass several and get through easier. Slowly Matsu rose seeing her one student had found some he needed and she spoke to address everyone on the ship. "For those not able to join us in the mess hall do not worry this message is for everyone. We are completing the next leg of the journey, vertical jumps are much easier and getting to where we want to go will require a lot of skill. That is why each of you are here because of your skills and you dedication to progress forward. We are seeking out the secrets of the past to preserve and build up the future. You have all been with me for most of the journey and now you know I need to ask you to go just a little further, keep the ship flying and get us back home." She had a smirk on her face though while standing there and looking. "So thank you all for trusting me enough to go on a crazy adventure and I will as always try not to disappoint or endanger you. We'll get through it all." The smile faded while she was looking through the viewport towards the bridge of the ship her pilots were working on and the hyperspace lines were fading behind the large viewport.

 

[Abbi Odell]

Abbi walked along the narrow corridors of the ship not fully paying attention to what lie ahead. Her eyes scanned the document before her which detailed the type of ship they were on and its systems. [member="Matsu Ike"] had asked the young Jedi in training to come along on this mission and Abbi had reluctantly agreed. They weren't even close to completing just her lightsaber training let alone doing whatever it is that her master wanted her to do.

Nevertheless, she was here and ready to do what was required of her. Her pack was already full and she still had the training saber that Matsu had given her.

Finding the way into the mess hall in time for instructions, Abbi found that her master's speech wasn't that up lifting. This would be fund.

[Kha'ro Ottosuki]

Kha'ro was walking around, trying to find the mess hall, he was terrible at directions. "Where the heck is it?" he was mumbling. After a while of being lost he sighed and delved into the force. He sensed other apprentice level force powers, looks like this would be better than expected. It wasn't hard to sense the force power of [member="Matsu Ike"], it stood out from the rest, it was more powerful.

He ended up dropping his lightsaber and when going to pick it up it rolled next to the mess hall, "So there it is," he sighed. He had walked past it at least 2 times without noticing the way in. All of a sudden, seeing the food, Kha'ro remembered how hungry he was, he walked in and grabbed something to eat.

Looking over at Matsu, he smiled. He had finally found the right place and grabbed some food as well as finding Matsu. This would be good, a time for him to be with his master, it would be a great learning experience.

[Matsu Ike]

[member="Kha'ro"] [member="Abbi Odell"] [member="Nagate Hei"]

Matsu stood there as she looked on and there was a sight to behold, as the moments ticked away the ship dropped out of hyperspace finding itself outside the well. Matsu looked out the one viewport as they looked on at the well. Different colors and the ship was moving as the jedi looked to her two other students. Turning to see as in the distance there was the grey-blue color of the planet as she spoke. "It is good you have both come, get to see first hand the glorious life of jedi acquisitions and research." She said it with a smile but was looking upon Abbi as her eye went from the girl who she had seen with a thirst for knowledge and Kha'ro was here who she understood a little more while they were heading in. "The last time were were here on this world we found a series of tunnels and tombs created to protect and full of booby traps." She thought about the rest they had dealt with while the ship moved weaving and coming into orbit of the world as the ship turned around showing the blackness of the void on one side and the way into the well on the other as she smiled. "There was also some rozzum that were brought by cultists which was why my team had to retreat."

She looked at the padawans and was certain the extra-dimensional beings were gone... Mostly. They weren't things to stay on dead worlds when they could go back to their own dimension. That was the hope but she was taking no chances while she was moved her hands to speak. "Be mindful of what you do and stay in comlink range. The world can be a little strange at first with all the crystals created by the well. They aren't good for sabers but jewelers may buy them. There is also the hazards of dust that can be kicked up and inhaled, so use your masks." She was looking at each of them while pulling her hair back into a tight braid while the ship was heading down to the planet. Breaking the atmosphere while they passed over a mountain range and were coming down into a small open valley. Matsu's eyes looking upon the holoimage of the area around them as the ship touched down. Sinking a little into the ground as the pilot confirmed they had a safe zone and the ramp opened. Equipment being deployed as the siren's were leading the team to make a perimeter to protect the ship and Matsu was walking down he ramp looking towards the mountains as she walked. "Come along and keep your eyes opened."

 

[Riggs]

During the trip he meditated. It helped to get his emotions in line. He and his brother shared that in common at least. Both were emotional, angry men. But while Ellion seemed to have found peace, and perhaps love, he had lost both.

So too did they each meditate. But while Ellion enjoyed meditating quietly Bjork did not. His meditation cane through rigorous physical action. And so he had stepped to his boxers practiced his martial arts. Then his sword play with the beskad. Then with his two lightsaber.

And therein he found his peace.

After the speech in the mess hall that he had heard he returned to his borrowed quarters and got the fresher. Then on his clothes followed by his Mandalorian armor, inherited from his buir, followed by his weapons.

His buy'ce hung from his belt as he made his way to where the ramp would lower. [member="Matsu Ike"] was speaking while two others listened to her words as closely as he did. Dark, shaggy hair and stubble framed dark, blue eyes which squinted at the description. The possibility of danger was there. And that was why Bjork had come.

The ramp lowered and they began to step off the ship, so he fell in with [member="Kha'ro"] and [member="Abbi Odell"] who he gave slight nods to. The force flowed through the knight as he did to the site and looked at the leader of the expedition, giving her a slight bow of acknowledgement.

 

[Nagate Hei]

Nagate affixed his breathing mask over his face and stowed his mask for now. Shouldering his bag he followed the others onto the surface of the planet. They had come so far from home and to find a relic of some kind.

He shifted in the armor as it grabbed to his form snug and yet maintained flexibility. He followed the Master and the other Padawans were they would begin their search. Nagate knew Master Ike knew where to go and that was good enough for him.

When suffering from amnesia, it's not hard to clear ones mind and delve into the Force and allow its power to envelope you. Nagate was clear and observant, he began searching for anything that would give him a sign of life, hostile or otherwise.

[Kha'ro Ottosuki]

Kha'ro put on his breathing mask and followed [member="Matsu Ike"], being sure that she would know where she was going. He sensed [member="Nagate Hei"] delving into the force and gave a nod. Kha'ro also began sensing for life.

He decided to stop and do it later. He looked over the other padawans and he saw how one of them seemed more powerful, he must be a knight, or just a better trained padawan.

Seeing how there was nothing more to do but follow Matsu, Kha'ro looked around the planet for a second. He had never seen it before. He then decided to resume sensing for life.

[Abbi Odell]

For now Abbi didn't know what to do. The ship had landed and the young Jedi had paid close attention to the instructions that [member="Matsu Ike"] had given. Having only been training with Matsu for a couple months she was still unsure of what she could and could not due.

Walking down the ramp and onto the planet surface, Abbi looked around. The other Jedi were filing down onto the surface as well. Picking up her pace, she trailed behind Matsu.

Matsu felt them coming as she walked along the surface of the planet, letting her senses flare out and there was more things here that could be used. She stopped crouching down while she ran a hand through the dirt on the surface as she came up with some of the crystals and hardened slime. "First lesson on this planet, tune out your senses, they can betray you. You must learn how to shift them, how to make them show you other things you normally couldn't perceive." She was holding it up while letting the dust shift while looking towards the mountains. "Things will try to trick you, try to make you doubt and talk with them. They will try and enter your mouth and overtake your mind as they did the jedi thousands of years ago." She was letting them have a moment. "That is assuming they are still alive, the creatures found by the jedi back then was because of their pursuit of power for the Pias Dia." She stood up and was looking through the air while her eyes were shifting with a faint glow just in the black of the iris before she was moving slowly and sniffed the air finding the decaying scent of rot. She started walking towards the mountain while leaving some room for them to maneuver while her crew came out.

The Sirens ran catching up to her with a parasol and some of her other equipment. Matsu took it while the two silent sisters were bringing some of the other weapons to scout ahead. They ran off towards the mountain while she was holding the parasol and slid it with her saber disc on her belt. The massive mountain was a dull grey as she was looking up it. Larger crystals near the top and the atmosphere with her sight were flicking with beautiful lights while she motioned them inside. The hardened and molted carapaces of creatures there as some were smashed, others ground into dust but then slowly it gave way to sections of carved stone with script on them leading deeper down. The breeze echoed going through it before Matsu stopped to touch the walls. "What do you know about the Jedi Order when it broke away and transformed into the Order of the Terrible Gaze?" She kept going forward and looking upon some of the stone illuminating it with a glow rod. "They did terrible things to their padawans and fell when the government was toppled but there were ships the Pias Dia sent out with their servants on them. Some have recently been found but others."

She showed the hull of the cathedral ship that had been used. "They crashed on some of the worlds few have visited."

 

[Nagate Hei]

Nagate kept pace with the group, Master Ike had warned them to not trust their senses, there were falsehoods here that could betray the mind. That cause Nagate to delve deeper into the Force. His natural senses were blinded by the dust and grit and the glow of the crystals in the light gave a strange hue to the land. Ahead the grey mountain stood like a resolute renegade against the wind.

When Master Ike pointed out the insectoid carcasses, he inspected one as they walked by; noted it's age and apparent cause of death by something larger placing a large amount of weight onto its back. The cave was full and dreary, devoid of color unlike the crystals. With the Force as his guide, the tendrils he'd sent out were picking up very faint traces of some energy signature. Impossible for him to make out at his current ability level, but he sent a Telepathic message to Master Ike of what he sensed. He knew it may be a trick, but better safe than sorry.

[Kha'ro Ottosuki]

Kha'ro was able to mostly block out all senses but hearing. He had to delve deeper into the force, to sense not only living forms. It was blurry but he was able to see with the force. He had to leave his regular senses unused as much as possible.

Suddenly, he sensed some sort of energy signature, what is that? He would send two messages, short ones. One to [member="Nagate Hei"], saying, "Sense is too?" and another to [member="Matsu Ike"] saying, "Energy signature."

He would try to make out what it was but fail. I hope Matsu can find out. That's strange, I wonder what the hell that is? I'll leave it to Matsu.

[Riggs]

He had slipped his helmet on and sealed his suit, breathing from the site reservoir while his suits filters checked to see if the air was truly safe to breathe through the filtration.

Opening his belt he took an air sample before starting and collecting a sample from the earth. He slid the specimens back into his belt with a part of his armored hand.

Add they walked he listened to the master speak while watching out for threats. Then his attention was taken by the remains of the ship. "Has anyone ever downloaded the flight recorder?“ The information would be useful, or at the least informative.

Matsu looked at them as they were walking and stopped at a section of hull plating leading down into a small section of cave. "I was never able to get into the sections of the ship with that information." She was standing there and looking at the room beyond as she withdrew a glow rod and cracked it tossing several around while they painted the room in green while there was the sound of skittering on the floor and she was crouching down. "When we came here we got down several levels, fought through their orders remnants and were blocked by something large. A doorway far older, I spent a few years looking for the key and thanks to another jedi master we found a way through the door on another world." She said it with a small beam of pride while she was thinking about it she had to admit to some of this. Fighting through the golden city in the netherworld with Alexandra before she died at the jedi's hands. Then into that celestial temple in otherspace after the Black Lagoon lost contact with her and Vulpesen. She rose up and looked at Bjork as she spoke. "Based on what I had to go through with several jedi to find a way past there I am afraid of what could be behind that door and if they ever found a way through it could be dangerous."

She continued there of a few moments giving them the time while she touched the parasol and slid it to a better position on her back as she was breathing in and out before jumping down and hovering there while she fired one end of a wire into the area above them and the other down lower while she went down to the floor. "Move quickly and quietly." She looked to her padawans and the other knight while she was moving quickly down to the ground while letting another group of glow rods illuminate the area that went down deeper with torch sconces showing signs of recent use and older signs of a battle with broken sections. Matsu was looking at the ground while she slowly moved around and listened letting the force wrap around her body and expand outwards into her senses. She was listening to the ground through the vibrations of the earth, through the movement in the air and for the sound the body of the creatures created. Something strange since it wasn't a single heart but a multichamber organ that ran along the length of their bodies. She compensated in her head for the padawans and jedi knight while her saber slid along her arm out of her sleeve and the snap hiss came. The solari crystal pulsing with the lightside of the force.

"Move as fast as you can." She slid her hand along the hilt of her blade until she was gripping it lightly. Her lessons with Nagate were in Makashi but he knew Shii-cho while she moves, Kha'ro knew how to wield his blade and she trusted in the jedi knight Bjork while she looked slowly turning her head. The rozzum well one of them dropped down and it was every bit the nightmare fuel with pincers and its body was covered in slime but the parts were not pretty. The thing to Matsu looked every bit as disturbing before she was moving off towards the center of the area while she slash. The spongy body it had popping from the heat of the saber while it passed through into the cave floor. She shifted it, her senses searching for life senses of the signature of the rozzum. The wrongness it created in the force where they had ripped it through a dimension from having no form to something disturbing, she pushed the pieces to the different sides of the room while she was feeling them now and it was as strange as she had felt it before. "Quickly." She was making the way for them to get through and fight as the disc saber she had slid from her hip and she threw it into the tunnel as the blades split activating as they slid into different creatures illuminating humans with cracked and desiccated skin moving towards them hlding crude tool. "Abbi, stay close and use the force. Map our course."

 

[Nagate Hei]

Nagate moved quick to his Master's side, following her over the edge and down the hole. Aided by the Force, the landing was smooth enough for Nagate to land in a light crouch, his trench coat fluttering in the descent.

He turned in time to see his Master dispatch a creature straight out of a child's nightmares. Nagate had his saber up in a flash, Adegan Crystal shining a vibrant pale blue. The power of the crystal instantly cooled Nagate and tempered his mind. He moved in to counter the advancing creatures that had been illuminated by Master Ike's saber throw. Speed being his ally, he quickly disarmed and beheaded the first few targets. Winding up as much of the Force as he could, he released a torrential Force Push to give his allies time to arrive.

"I'm here master, what are these things?"

[Abbi Odell]

The creatures was disgusting. They were something that Abbi had no knowledge of which was unusual. [member="Matsu Ike"] and [member="Nagate Hei"] were fighting them off in the front.

Closing her eyes, letting the force work through her small body, images began to cross through her mind. The cave and its tunnels were winding and intricate. It took only a few seconds to pinpoint where the were supposed to go. "We need to take the curve to the right then down into the lower passage." she called holding one of the glow sticks.
