Faction Please Stand Still (SJC, Force Stasis training)

[Jend-Ro Quill]

A stray thought wormed its way into Quill's head - that it would be funny and ENTIRELY inappropriate and IRREVOCABLY rude to try to slow down Master Sakadi's sentence. He could see it now: "...something a bit...more...cha...l...enj...innnnngggg."

He did not, of course, do it. Apparently, part of him was still about twelve.

He nodded. "Ready."

 

[Aveline Cuiléin]

Aveline kept at it, foucising only on herself and her own little pebbles. She lost count of how many attempts she had made, but however marginal, she did feel she was making progress. Though she had hardly moved from her spot, her only motions being bending down and reaching for the fallen pebbles and rising to throw them up again, she could feel sweat dripping down the side of her face.

Aveline allowed herself a break as Sakadi spoke, taking a deep breath. This temple must have been beautiful once, she thought. Though much of it had been reduced to rubble and ruin, slowly reclaimed by nature, it managed to give it a serene appearance. The temple was merging with nature, and the air about them felt fresh and even young, if air could really take on such a quality.

Something more challenging. Aveline was barely managing the pebbles. It might have been more prudent to hold back, but curiosity got the better of her. "I would, Master Sinvala" Bring it on. She wanted to see what this next test would be, and she wanted to test herself against it and in the process prove herself worthy.

The silver haired girl paused mid thought upon hearing the teachers voice and lost the focus on the rocks. Frowning, she pondered for a moment on practicing it more outside the classroom as she shot a smile to Sakadi Marathi Sinvala , while making a downward flexing motion and altering her voice into an utterly ridiculous tone.

"Let's do it!" She made the motion twice more before chuckling to herself before tossing the few pebbles in her hand up and attempting to catch them before they fell. She caught most of them before they touched her hand, the remaining resting in her palm.

 

[Sakadi Marathi Sinvala]

Sakadi nodded in accordance. If they believe they were ready for a challenge, then it was up to her to provide. She had prepared for this, using what few cover spots and storage locations were left in the old ruins of the Voss temple to store the equipment she needed. Among them, some training droid models from a bygone age.

She brought her fingers to her mouth and let out a high-pitched whistle. Metallic footsteps echoed in the distance, becoming louder and louder until the droids made their appearance. They were simplistic in design, having a build similar to protocol droids and spotting only one large photoreceptor. All of them were unarmed, for they wouldn't need weapons in this particular training.

"The exercise is quite simple." Sakadi began. "These droids will challenge you to a game of tag. One versus one. The droids will start as the taggers." She explained. "Once your droid manages to tag you, the roles will be reversed. Try to use Force Stasis on the droids to slow them down, and strive to be tagged as few times as possible." She waited for a moment. If there were any questions, now was the time to ask them. If there were none, the Jedi Master would continue.

"Alright. Pick a droid and ready yourselves." Perhaps this exercise was a bit too difficult. But the harder the challenge, the more could be learnt from it. If they were given the chance to test their skills now, under pressure, real application of the technique would be a lot less intense. "Begin."

Sorry for the heavy delay on this thread. If everyone's still up for it, we can continue.

Des immediately considered her options. She could have made her way to a high perch where none of the droids could likely get to her. But that wasn't the goal. She could easily lift the droids off the ground where they were ineffective. Again, not the goal. Crushing or deactivating them were also avenues to deal with them. But again, not the goal. Speed was also an option, and the idea of dancing merrily around the droids just out of reach was a thought that made her smile, but again, not the goal.

Begin.

Shifting backward she rolled, and popped up into a one-handed handstand with the grace of a gymnast and then brought herself down to her feet easily. How best to apply the technique. She could freeze the droid's body into place. That would take a lot. She could lock down the wiring, but that was a lot of lines to trace, and even harder. There were two main points on any droid that she should concern herself with. Their power supply and their processor. Stop the power output or stop the command signals or processor and you had an instantly neutralized droid.

Already her tag partner was closing the gap. It didn't have the shuffling gait of a protocol droid but had the speed and flexibility of a droid meant for training Jedi. Shifting to her right she evaded a grab, then another as she spun away. Focusing on the Force, she felt for the patterns of energy oscillations within the droid. Her original training had taken place aboard a shuttle. She'd spent weeks learning to map out every circuit and conduit in this fashion, in addition to knowing where her companions were at all times, and being able to detect the thin biofilm on everything that wasn't sanitized. She had a mechanical aptitude, evidenced by her long history of fixing her swoop, fiddling with her inherited lightsaber, building micro-droids all the time, repairing hover trucks, working on her personal ship, and keeping it up and running.

Very quickly she found the droid's power supply. Suspending it though would be much harder. But at least for the moment, she was out of reach as she took a few running steps, then evaded another set of grabs. An unconscious grin was spread across her face as she moved.
