The rebuild of the Shadow Temple was underway, it was slow going but that was necessary due to the nature of the place. Connel was here, and overseeing quite a bit of the work, but this was not going to be his responsibility much longer. Desbre Gensan was going to be overseeing the place, it would have been his father’s choice (even if he didn’t understand it) so he could not let that pass. Connel would honor Caltin’s wishes without question or issue.

Omega Squad was working out in one of the simulators, putting it through its paces. Truth be told, he would normally want to be there too, but today was different. Today he was watching all of the new tech being installed, and almost on cue, he saw someone he was not expecting to, at least not today. Then again, was that not one of her joys out of life? Showing up when no one is expecting? Surprising people?

She wasn’t here yet, but Connel knew Master Ike was going to be here. After all, her “biots” were being brought in, and one of those crazy “Gonkis”. Connel couldn’t help but smile at the thought of her unpredictability. Ike’s presence always brought an air of excitement and curiosity, especially with her unconventional creations. He wondered what surprises she had in store this time, and how they would impact the ongoing work.

The restoration of the shadow temple was rather interesting when she worked on it. From the island temple they had been moving in supply crates of equipment. Rossi leading the team as she was one of the few who could coordinate among all of them. The jedi master was there hovering as the younger padawans played push feather to train. With the jedi master as the feather while she was almost lighter then air just drifting down slowly for one of the wookie's to push her back up and towards another. A practical method if there was one given their own strength. Herr mind expanding as she looked towards the mainland.

"Wonderful." She said it and opened her eyes while she looked throughout with the force but hovered in the air. She looked down at the padawans. "You did well. Master Rossi will take over." She said it and the large wookie looked at her speaking as the sounds resonated and Matsu looked at her. "I understand you aren't able to be the feather but you can still look after them." She smiled though going over and sitting on the wookie's shoulder with a small look at the crates that were stacked and ready. "I'll take those and we have some of the newest equipment as well." She said it as one hand came up and lifted the crates, the other waving when she started flying towards the mainland.

The temples floating movement had aligned just right for her to let her go into the ocean while hovering around her was the cargo crates the workers would be able to use. She could accelerate as her body and the crates practically vibrated their molecules to be the air... there was no resistance to the movement. The mainland in sight and she knew the path while they phased through the trees, branches and roots going towards the shadowlands floor. The crates moving into a clearing as the dimunitive jedi master sat on top of one cargo crate as it landed soundlessly on the floor of the shadowlands.

"Hello." She waved as some of the other workers took in the sight of it... some were surprised, some were wondering where they had come from... and some a few snickered at the others. Quickly suppressing their laughter and humor at it. The jedi master slipping off the top of the cargo container as it opened and two of the gonki's came out. She moved to sit on one of them as it was walking towards the workers. "GONK." She pointed pulling from one of the containers a small case and then a second case as a small group of Security Biots came out. Assigned to protect the temple and its area.

She rode on the gonk droid as she went to find Connel as it spoke. "GONK" She gave the droid a nod of her head in understanding, astounded by its insight of the temple area itself and the work that was going on. They would be able to serve as extra power sources as well as defenders. "I'll see they get you some extra oil the good kind." There was another excited movement of the droid and exclamation. "GONK" When she approached Connel offered a look before drifting over towards him and standing there in her silvery robes with long black hair in a braided design. SMall kyber crystal bells weaved through it as the braids fanned out to the backs of her knees.

"I brought snacks." She said it and opened the smaller case she had brought with a wide smile. The casing opening to the scent of freshly made Vondiranach Bites that Hanna had made and Hanna's Gifts which were various chocolate covered fruits from around the galaxy. Her smile wide when she offered them. "Hanna say hello."

He had been expecting crates. Supplies. Maybe another shuttle skimming over the treetops, or a lift team grumbling about the weight of phrik bracing. What he wasn’t expecting was Master Matsu Ike, drifting into the Temple as if the entire jungle had conspired to part for her.

She rode in on a gonk droid. A gonk droid. Flanked by security biots and floating cargo like it was the most natural thing in the galaxy. The workers stopped mid-haul, padawans craned their necks, and a few couldn’t quite smother their laughter. I couldn’t blame them. It was like watching a holodrama and a legend collide.

Then came the scent. Sweet, spiced, almost out of place in the damp air of Kashyyyk’s undercanopy. Snacks. Of course.

Master Ike, he said, managing to keep my tone level though he could feel the corner of his mouth pulling upward, only you could call a supply drop and a gonk parade ‘bringing snacks.’

When she opened her case, the clearing all but leaned toward it. Vondiranach Bites, Hanna’s chocolate-covered fruit… Maker help me, he thought, even the battle-hardened Wookiees looked tempted. He couldn’t help it, he had to chuckle.

You’ve already done more for morale in five minutes than I’ve managed all morning, I admitted. Desbre will inherit a Temple in good spirits, thanks to you.

Connel took one of the treats she offered, letting the chocolate melt against the salt of Kashyyyk’s air, and for a heartbeat he wasn’t a coordinator or overseer, but just another Jedi among friends.

My father used to say she had a way of making the impossible look easy. I never understood it as a Padawan. Watching her today, though — crates settled without a sound, padawans inspired, workers laughing — I think I finally do.

He bowed his head, half in thanks, half in acknowledgment. I’ll make sure the gonk gets its oil. The good kind.

The droid answered with a triumphant GONK, and for once, He felt like the Shadow Temple wasn’t just being rebuilt. It was alive again.

She gave a nod looking at him as some of the padawans were around. Her hands moving to take one of the cookie's with a nod. "What else would I bring?" She said it more with a small smile, amusement in her mind as she moved along the ground... maintaining her hover those few mico measurements from the ground. She didn't have to make a large showing but she was also able to move around without sound or her robes moving. Distribution of the snacks to all of the people. "And half od a temple is the morale. If everyone is overly serious and on edge for anything it will translate down towards the padawans eventually."

She spoke while finishing up and coming over to him as the Gonk droid moved off to go with the others who were finding a place to help. The jedi master looking at Connel as she stayed there. "Now I have brought a lot of things we can set up and even more that could be cool and interesting." She said it while moving towards the crates and her other case. "Now just hear me out, jedi music night. We helped develop an auditory acoustic converter. it takes a persons voice and converts it to extra energy. The Atrisians are using it to have their battlemaidens sing furing fights to provide their ships with extra power."

There was the case that she opened as well. "We have also developed this." She pointed towards it as there was a lightsaber and it was standard sized, polished to a mirror finish like look as she held it. "We developed new components for a lightsaber and it was recommended we try and advance what is already well refined... so we have developed the hybrid system which allows for interchangeable components to any saber... but when combined it each creates the BATTLEMASTER AI, which aids in combat by recommending and adjusting the blade itself." She said it while looking at it and provided a lot for herself to see it.
