Steps 4 through 22... just kidding. Crystalsong times. (Order of the Grey/ Crystalsong Inhabitants)

[Alexandra Feanor]

Alexandra smiled as she and the members of the Order of the Grey made their way down to the surface of the planet, using manufacturing ships and droids from Krayt that Alexandra had hired from @Taeli Rae to aid in the construction of yet another temple, this one would be better defended though. Due to no overbaring government the Order would be able to create a temple with decent defenses and a place for them to be able to be alone and in neutral space. Alexandra was here for another reason, one that transcended their simply needing another home.

Recently the peoples on Crystalsong had been growing more aggressive and she had heard rumors of war starting to break out. With the Jedi occupied she found it was the order's time to prove they are here for the defense of the galaxy as well as the betterment and furthering of the force, that is why Alex had brought the issue to the council and now the Order traveled to the Planet to establish another temple.

ALL MEMBERS OF THE ORDER OF THE GREY. Welcome to the first of five threads for our faction event that me and your two council members [member="Minna"] and [member="Krest"] discussed over skype. This thread is pretty simple, first we will all touch down and Alex will explain why the order is here. All ranks are obviously open to joining from the newest apprentice to the highest master. I will also be in close contact with [member="Maria Natalja"] or even at times she will be playing the natives of the planet. Obviously i suck at IC intros as above is seen so be free to post your own badass intro on how you got out of your bed and ate breakfast on the ship that was bringing us to the planet or what ever. This as i said above will be a five thread Event that is made to prove we can function just as well as any other faction, and prove we have something that people can have fun with. With that said, i am going to keep alot of what will occur in thsi thread secret, because its more fun that way for things to just happen to you all... now the annoyingly long mention list.

[Minna]

[member="Alexandra Lianne Feanor"]

Adventure. Minna loved it, especially when it involved a strange yet beautiful planet like Crystalsong. The small Hornet-Class Interceptor touched down on the outskirt of where the base was to be built, and from it Minna emerged with wandering eyes, taking in the scenery and the air. Her walk to the main site was slow, as she wanted to experience the planet properly before getting to work. Once she eventually reached the site, she began helping to unload some of the construction materials, using the force to lift the heavy stuff. With a quick look up to the sky she saw Alex, to which she smiled. She felt slightly guilty for her behavior during the mandalorian's visit to Yavin to inspect the Grey, and so Minna worked as hard as she could to make things right now.

Arriving shortly after Minna came William Tarin, who also began aiding the construction. He seemed to keep to himself, nothing odd for him though, since he had been busy recently.

 

[William Seraven]

Strange surface covered in foliage. War torn planet with hostiles everywhere? Oh, it was just like home. I rested back in my seat of the ship, just waiting for us to touch down on the ground. Since joining the grey, I'd found things to be a bit more exciting that I originally thought it'd be. Mandos, sith, and new planets, oh my.

 

[Popo]

(EXTRA OOC NOTE. THOSE THAT LIVE ON CRYSTALSONG CAN JOIN IN)

I don't live on Crystalsong, but I have quite a few investments there including two submitted outposts. I'll assume that counts.

Another visit, another tour, another inspection. Such was the life of Popo on Crystalsong. Thankfully he wasn't here too, too often, but with Tenloss interests slowly growing on the planet, it required more and more attention at times.

Fortunately, most of the time he could regulate the Tenloss facilities on the planet from the Wheel or wherever he was operating from. Unfortunately, he did need to head out to the backwater planet on occasion. As he wrapped up another tour of the Tenloss Trading Post, one of the comm officers ran out of the comm building and towards Popo's group.

As he drew near, he handed Popo's security detail a small datapad and ran back. The Tenloss Security officer glanced through the information and frowned. The Hutt simply held out a hand silently for the datapad and the officer handed it to Popo. Sure, this was probably something that the local garrisons here could handle, if it was something major, but if it pulled the Hutt away from another boring inspection, it was worth looking into.

And it was, indeed, worth it. Scanners picked up ships approaching and landing on the planet, even going so far as to give rough estimates on where the landing zones could have been. There were six and each was in a different terrain location, but at the very least they knew a general region. It was too far away for foot troops or even a mechanized patrol or speeder bike patrol to get to, but even so, the area needed to be watched.

"Have scanners keep an eye on the area. Watch for more ships and send a quiet note to the Republic. The scans say these are Krayt ship designs, or at least look similar enough. I highly doubt the One Sith are this far out here, but if they're selling to pirates..." the Hutt trailed off.

The officer nodded once and turned away, giving terse orders on his commlink as he did so. With that taken care of, Popo then pulled his mind back to the inspection once more. With luck, either the inspection would be over soon or perhaps something else would happen. Either way, it would mean the tour was done for the time being.

 

[rain21199]

Cain was sitting in his ripped up black leather chair. The flying carcass that surrounded him used to be a pristine ship for the Sith, but now was falling apart and breaking down. He was having a hard time maneuvering the ship to get to the landing zone due to the sorry state of the ship. The ships engine gave out, and it plummeted to the ground below. It was no surprise to Cain that the engine was going to give out soon, but he was almost sure that it would've taken him back to Nul Hutta. Cain stood up and began doing everything in his power to try to get it to start up again, which meant that he smashed a bunch of buttons. He repeatably jabbed the on button while scream "Work you schutta!" His attempts to get it to work had failed, which meant that he had to try to slow the descent. He gripped the ship with the force, and began to slow it down. Obviously, the ship was still going to hit the ground full force, and probably make the ship explode, so with some quick thinking, Cain barely maneuvered the ship close enough to a lake where he could jump out to safety. The sound of Cain's body splashing in the water was drowned out by the noise of the ship exploding. He now had no idea where he was. Hopefully the smoke of his "ship" would get someones attention. If not, he might be there awhile.

 

[Saran Drast]

Saran wasn't too pleased with returning to Crystalsong. She had been here once before, and it had been with Jacobs. She didn't want to think about him. One could say she was still grieving him. Rolling her saber in her palm, the Miraluka simply stood as flares started to show in her vision. The Force Crystals, while rarer than others, were there, and they shone to her. Annoying though they were, they were something interesting. Perhaps they could boost a Force user's powers?

Pushing the thought from her mind, She stood as the droid in the cockpit spoke. "Ma'am, we have a possible crash landing. Sector 3412."

"Check for survivors." The knight said, knowing full well that such things could be hard to live through. First-hand experience taught her that.

As the ship circled the lake, the pilot droid spoke up again. "One life form showing up on scanners. In the water. Currently fine." Attempting to extend her sight, the Miraluka looked for [member="Cain Laatl"]. With any luck, she could sill make the rendezvous with the others after getting him out.

As Noctis walked across the ship he was on, as ordered by his older cousin, and king, he sighed, unsure of what to do with himself here. The ship was massive, and a bit too big for him. He sighed in response to this too, and decided it was just too much. He was lost. "I dont know where I am!" He yelled in Vahla, and sulked down to the floor. His big white coat with the furriness keeping him warm from the space cold.
He looked around, and opened his pocket, pulling out his comlink, his hand shook with fear closing in around him. -Why did Romeo send me with the Greys..- He turned in on, and spoke into it, not sure whom it would connect to. "Hel...Hello?"

Alexandra smiled as she watched the droids get to work on the basics of the building and the temple, waiting for the rest to arrive at this point too though she was not so sure what was happening now. Appearently she had heard over the radio someone flying a rust bucket crashed which did make her a bit worried for who ever it was but she was sure as hell going to make sure that it didn't stop things from progressing for now.

Instead she stood and waited, outside of the main construction zone and looking out over the trees. Somewhere on this planet there were five different races, and they held a tension that was long simmering. If there was a chance to stop all out war and genocide she was sure that her order had the ability to do just that.

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino tapped his fingers on the controls of his freighter while Tyria made mock terrified gestures behind him. That's what happened when someone put a pilot away from the control seat and let someone with less experience settle down. For a landing, especially. But nothing terrible happened, and the ship settled gently down onto the ground at the construction site. Tyria sighed dramatically and gave him a punch on the shoulder.

"Not bad, hotshot," She slung a bag over her shoulder, and headed towards the ramp, "Don't forget to turn on the parking brake." She sauntered out into the construction zone, adjusting her leather jacket and flipping her hair away from her eyes.

Veino let out a long sigh and shut down his freighter, a Tachyon class, and grabbed his travelsack, slinging it over his shoulder and pausing beside a piece of reflective metal to check his new look. Half his hair was shaved off and the rest tied back in a ponytail, and a intricate blue tattoos wove their way through the hair stubble that remained. He was preparing and practicing for deep cover operations for somebody or another.

[Minna]

After moving a heavy load of material with the force, Minna took a few moments to look around. She noticed the people who had gathered, new and old, to help build the temple. Alex had landed it seemed, and so the Yodaling decided to approach her, her hands linked behind her back. With a smile and a nod, she greeted her former master. "Going well, construction is already." Her eyes followed Alex's gaze at the droids doing the building. "But much work to do ahead of us, there is." She too knew the general situation of the planet, but she hadn't taken the time to look into it deeply. However one thing was for sure; Minna couldn't wait to meet the other species.

Noctis wasnt answered, so he slumped over and sighed. He got up, and started to randomly walk more till he finally stumbled upon the exit, getting outside though made things worse. "Its huge!" He said to himself, and kept walking. His eyes came upon the one known as Alex, and the noise of construction was too loud for him. When he got to her, he poked her, holding his ears from the loudness. "What do you want me to do?" He yelled out.

 

[Abygail Ericson]

Yawning, Abygail emerged from the room she had been given on the ship for the move to Crystalsong. Distantly, she could hear the sounds of heavy construction and paled as she realized she had overslept.

"Whoops," she muttered to herself, quickly running back into her room to grab her bag and rushed out of the ship into the Crystalsong environment. Sheepishly moving up to where Alex was standing, she knew she had made a slight mistake, but maybe it would be forgiven and she wouldn't be pranked or anything.

"Sorry I overslept Alex," she mumbled, bowing her head in apology. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

She might not have much training in the Force yet, but she could still try an help.

[Tricia Kalamack]

Tricia had arrived... not really, she wasn't sure what was happening just that as she hovered there she had very little happening. Her duster over the iron skin for defense and protection as well as the cool factor it gave her she supposed. Made people trying to use the force against her while her duster and sigil were on kind of cute in their efforts. Made her better able to sleep with the collar able to hide a neck pillow in the air. SHe found an area shaded and hovered there letting her hair float and obscure her face.

Another temple, he was beginning to feel like a nomad. Maybe the Greys were nomads. The ship he was occupying wasn't so pretty as his freighter but work comes first, and play later. Alask didn't wear a cloak or hood this time, only his robe because the other things would limit the amount of work he could do. As he touched down on Crystalsong, he signaled droids to get to work on unloading and aiding the others. He was clueless on what to do now. He wasn't of the Grey Order, not any order, when the last temples were built. So, he did what anybody else would do. Find the boss, which Alex was the leader so he began walking over to her. As he walked, the sounds of construction and life would be shut out as he had other thoughts on his mind. He thought about the planet, his master [member="Krest"], and he thought about his future. If he became of master rank, what responsibilities would he have. Maybe a bit random but if you had visions as often as him, it made you wonder. By the time he made it over to Master Alex, he heard the construction and life again but really loud. Telepathy would be useful at the moment but he could raise his voice probably. He kept a calm but raised voice when he asked, "Master Alex, what can I do?"

 

[Boggo Flib]

It was hard on the Large Ithorian to move around so frequently, His anger for the Mandalorians had settled in for not accepting the Order of the Grey. Arrogant and Ignorant faction of people thats what he thought about them now. Again he was forced to move and rebuild. His shuttle landed and walking out into the outside Environment Krafurk smirked and looked around, His anger was dimmed and he instantly fell in love with the nature of the Planet Crystalsong... A habit the Ithorian race kept in good hands. Searching for his Family Krafurk looked around for [member="Javik Quar-Kai"] and Master [member="Alexandra Lianne Feanor"]. Taking a slight Journey the Ithorian smiled as he examined the planet and began to tune into it all. Reaching the end of hi steady stroll he smiled and nodded at [member="Minna"] and [member="Veino Garn"]. With a wave of his hand he greeted them and walked into the group of Grey Jedi joining them.

The Droids had started to build the Temple, the Process was loud.... and seeing the Nature of the planet get suppressed bothered him.

" Must we pain Crystalsong with our building?" he shouted mildly, Ithorians spoke loudly naturally.

Alexandra smiled and slowly took in all those that were here and she had been a bit concerned herself with the droids and their racket, but she had also made it clear as minimal destruction to plant life was needed for the temple. Infact the only thing that was truly being touched to a large extent was the vegetation on the outer area of the all (Think Orthanc from LOTR before it got stripmined). Alot of the Vegetation that was on what would be inside the walls was kept untouched for two reasons, A she did not like to destroy more than was needed for a defense perimeter and landing area... plus the temple of course. And B, she simply knew the vegetation would provide a great aid in the training of the students.

With that her words began to sound as she spoke to each person one by one. First... the weirdo. "Veino... what is with the haircut..." She smiled at him and would wait just long enough for his answer before switching to Minna. "Yes, and i would like to clarify as Krafurk does bring up something i had thought about. The Forest and vegetation that is not directly around the outer side of the walls around our temple's perimeter is being cleared out so something cannot use it as cover if they decide to attack us, im sorry if it seems different but from what i understand the natives of this planet do not take kindly to people that aren't them. As for what i need you guys to do there are several jobs that are going to need to be done. First i need to make sure no life, sentient or non sentient gets trapped in the work or their homes are destroyed, i need two people on this. "

"Next i need someone to scout out the area around us and work on charting out if there are any settlements nearby, one or two people can do this. Past that i need the work done on the communications area and landing areas cleared out, which the rest of you will need to work on until there comes a time when you are needed elsewhere. Voluteers for the two jobs that require you to head towards the current construction areas or out into the forest... and if more than 2 people want to go on these missions very well, but people will need to stay behind to help with clearing out the landing and communication areas."

 

[Veino Garn]

Veino gave a short nod to respond to her question and glanced around. Not that he really needed to. There was no indicator his stalker was in the system. No hair-prickle. No sense of impending danger. It appeared he had shaken him off. For now, anyways. Probably wouldn't take too long for whomever was following him to retrace the trail though.

"I'll need to discuss that with you later," Veino responded quietly to [member="Alexandra Lianne Feanor"]. "Things have taken an unexpected turn and I need to disappear." He checked his datapad. "I'll run reconnaissance."

 

[Sonnie Rain]

Luke was still getting used to the first temple he'd seen on Crystalsong, and already he was left to wonder why the order was making yet another one. Walking around the site, he saw several faces that he didn't recognize, and a few that he did. Watching himself so as not to get in anyone's way, he eventually spotted [member="Alexandra Lianne Feanor"]. He was glad to see her. The two had had quite an emotional moment a while back, where he finally let someone in, let out his problems. He had felt a lot better then, like a huge load was taken from his shoulders. On his way to the master, he eyed a streak of smoke in the sky, landing in a heap some ways away. He would make a mental note to see who that was... Something told him it would be imperative of him, though he didn't know why. "Sorry I'm late", he said when he finally made it to Alexandra. Looking around him, he noticed another next to her, with a rather strange haircut, and from who he'd caught the word 'reconnaissance' thrown out. That sounded interesting. Piping up on that, he addressed [member="Veino Garn"]. "Think I could help you with that?"

Noctis just stood there, unsure what he was being told, and looked around as others began to follow behind him. Alex began to give out orders, letting people decide what they would do for themselves. Again, he knew not what to do here. "Uhhhhhh." He said softly. "I think Ima just poke around I guess?" He said in a very questioning manner.

Count Lorek arrived by his usual mode of transport; the luxury yacht that had come with his noble title. It touched down safely a few hundreds meters from the building site in a clearing of the forest. With a metallic sound, the ramp at the back of the ship came down, allowing him to step out, fully armored, and make his way to the temple. He had spent a long time tracking this order down, which was no easy task considering they moved quite frequently in recent times. Luckily though, Nobility came with contacts, which he could use to trace their member's movements. As he stepped out into the building site, he had just caught the last words of what appeared to be their leader, a rather attractive Echani woman. With a short bow of respect he greeted her. "Count Lorek Gathen, at your service, my lady." The count rose from his bow, giving a quick glance to the many others gathered around. "It seems you have alot to do, so I'll get straight to work. Ensuring the natives and their land is safe seems suitable for me, if you don't mind my help."
