Private Those Left Behind

[Kain Aldore]

Kain was on the verge of going insane. The Hidden Path and by association, Kain himself, had been on Odessen for longer than he ever cared to sit still. Leaving now was a moot argument for the former Jedi. Da'Razel had turned him into a flash roasted womp-rat. He'd been healing, though it was slow going. He kept going on and on about not wanting to submerge himself in a bacta tank. Using excuses, saying he'd rather be aware if they were attacked, rather be able to fight quickly if the need arose. It was Bantha-poodoo. After his nearly twenty year stint in a stasis-bacta chamber, even looking at one felt like he was staring at his coffin from the other side.

Thinking back to earlier, Kain remembered Jane 's offer to do the evac run with everyone. He'd been more than willing to commit to the job. Hell it seemed like most of the Path members were going one direction or another after the council, or maybe it had been more of a gathering, held by Valery Noble. Kain though would like to know who he was working with. So he'd sent a holo to most of the people he'd met yesterday.

"Hey, Kain here. We all spoke briefly yesterday I know, but I figured I'd send an update anyways. Got ahold of an old friend who owed me a favor. We have supplies waiting on a station above Mon Cala. I'm taking a trip to see our aquatic neighbors here soon and figured I'd send an invitation. If you're trying to tag along, just meet me at the Runner. I'm leaving Odessen midday tomorrow. If you can't make if for the trip. Don't sweat. I have a feeling were going to be pack in some ship or another for quite some time. So yeah... see you if I see you."

It would be a good way to know the new members of the Path he'd be working with on missions of this caliber. As an added bonus, he could give them some basic knowledge on how to finesse some of the major players within the galaxy, then they could go over a game plan too.

Small leather boots dashed through the soil and grass of Odessen just as midday arrived. Jane had managed to gather a backpack full of food and water ever since the holo reached her. It wouldn't be enough to cover the entire trip, but it was the least she could do to lessen the burden of being there without any credits to help out. With that trusty backpack firmly over her shoulders, the landing platform that stored Kain's ship came into view.

It was her first real mission. And it was her first time traveling with a larger group. In fact, it was her first time for many things. And, as fearless as ever, she was prepared to face it head on and learn what it was like to be a rebel and a Jedi, not in the safe classroom of Coruscant, but out in the galaxy, with a mission.

Or, perhaps it was her lack of fear or any emotion that could have warned her made her feel prepared to face this mission with no prior experience.

Nonetheless, wearing her elegant white floral armor given by the kind old man, her adjusted Jedi robes, and the huge yet sleeveless purple cloak, the short doll-like girl approached the Runner while her black cybernetic eyes scanned the area for a moment before she noticed Kain lingering nearby, as he had stated.

Jane's pace slowed from a run to a normal walk, until she came to a stop in front of Kain, a little too close for comfort. "Hello, Kain. I received your hologram. I didn't know how to reply. But I am here." Her lavender hand reached up and patted one of the two leather straps. "I also managed to gather some food and water, for the journey."

Ace was out training in the forest yet again when he received the ping. Batting away two little blaster bolts before stopping, he then extinguished his blade and pulled out his personal holoprojector. A blue, static-y, miniaturized version of Kain Aldore displayed in front of him. Listening to Kain's message, Ace raised a reluctant brow.

"Mon Cala? That was the other end of the galaxy..." he muttered to himself, almost sounding defeated.

Then there was also the prospect of travelling on another ship that wasn't the Flickerfox. In their short time together, Ace had grown attached to his ship. Hated the idea of travelling anywhere without her, or leaving her alone. Sighing to himself, he took a step back and scanned the forest around him. It wasn't like he had anything better to do right now though.

Without thinking, he was already making his way to the Flickerfox to grab supplies and other things. He'd made his decision.

After that, Ace with his pack strapped on his back exited his freighter but turned back to give her a last look "I'll be back soon..."

He then proceeded to make his way toward the Runner. There, he could already see Jane and Kain. Ace was able to get a better look of Kain's ship... it was no Flickerfox but... it was definitely bigger and held more room for a crew. So, begrudgingly, it made sense they'd take Kain's ship.

As he drew near, he offered the pair a faint smile and a nod. Slowing his pace to a stop, he was silent for a moment before glancing to the side - avoiding their gaze.

"I had nothing better to do, so..." he said, scratching his left nostril.

"I mean, I'm sure there was plenty of better things to do. Eat. Sleep. Drink."

Lestra's tuft of blue hair popped out of nowhere as he made his arrival at the ship, his arms resting behind his head as he took in the sight of those who had arrived. A goofy and fangy grin spread across his face at the same time. Sure, there was a chance the journey was going to take a while but for all intents and purposes, Lestra didn't seem to have a single care in the Galaxy.

"Now, do you have something more important to do? Well. That's somethin' you'd have to figure out for yerself."

For Lestra, there wasn't really anything more important for him to do. The main reason he was heading out on this was because...well, he was bored. He didn't have some Master to put him through boring lessons, or strenuous tasks that would cause him to slowly lose his sanity. So instead he had to find challenges for himself. Experiences that could act as a lesson for him.

It...still didn't come to Lestra's mind that he had properly introduced himself to...anyone here. It didn't matter in his eyes though. Everyone already had a name here in his mind. There was Doll-Metal-Face, in the form of Jane . Jumpsuit, in the form of Acier Moonbound and then Kain, in the form of Kain Aldore . Okay. Maybe it was a bit unfair that Kain was the only one who got his actual name memorised, but it helped that he had used it on the holo.

 

[Aris Noble]

"Nothing better, huh?"

Aris glanced down to Acier, offering a bit of a smirk before giving a nod to Kain. This was his ship, and thus, he was the one in charge. Which worked great for Aris, who already really didn't like to pilot. He moved onto the ship, idly shouldering a pack of stuff he might need as he glanced to the others. Jane was a welcome face to see. Lestra was one he didn't know. He tilted his head a bit, seeming to watch the other boy before he'd give a similar nod.

They had this. Probably.

"What kind of supplies are we getting?"

Quite the gathering for a merry band of misfits, huh...
​

With a pack slung over his shoulder with one hand, and his cycler rifle being held in the other, he was taking a few moments to watch from a distance to see who had shown up. He recognizes pretty much everyone from when they had gathered beforehand at the grand meeting for the Path. Or, well, next to everyone. But, as he's staring at everyone, he realizes something...

... asides from Kain Aldore , everyone else here is younger than he is. And not merely just younger, some of them are practically children.

Which means, he's stuck watching over a bunch of kids for who-knows how long.

Ughhh. An internal groan to himself, as he took a moment to facepalm. Why the hell has he been getting involved with so many kids recently? Not to mention he's pretty sure he's the only one here he can't use the Force. And the fact that he's leaving his trusty ship behind, in favor of the Runner. It was much more proficient for this sort of thing than his was, but that doesn't mean he can't be salty about it. This just keeps getting better and better...

Reluctantly, he started making his way over to the gathering. Approaching, as he gave a couple nods in acknowledgement around to the others. "Hey, everyone." Setting his pack down on the floor near the gathering, as he took a moment to adjust his hat.

["What kind of supplies are we getting?"]

Directing his gaze towards Aris Noble . "Medical, if memory serves me right. Also, don't think we've met before. Name's Gavin." Giving a brief flick to his own hat in greeting. Glancing towards Lestra Thairk , afterwards. "Same goes for you. Pretty sure I saw you yesterday, but I ain't certain."

Kain watched the young girl pat the straps of the pack and reassure him that she'd brought along her own snacks and drinks. He gave her a smile, Jane may not know how to reply to a holo, but at the very least she was thoughtful. He was on the verge of telling her he had enough supplies to keep upwards of ten people fed for a month long trip in the blackness of space. Instead he just threw his hand forward and gave her a thumbs up. "Awesome! You can put em in the chiller in the kitchen. The Slate Runner has a pretty streamline design, so you should be able to figure it out pretty easily. Any questions. Just ask!"

Kain looked to Acier and could sense a bit of hesitation, or, maybe he was nervous? He really had no idea. Senses were by far not his strong suit, there was just an off air about him. So the elder didn't pry, he just tilted his head upwards to say welcome. "This will be good, hell you might just have fun."

Next came the boy with the blue hair. Kain wasn't really the mentor type, though it seemed he'd have to fall into that role, the question was whether or not he'd actually be good at it. And he could already tell the answer was no. Looking at Lestra, Kain had a moment of self reflection. He saw himself ten years younger. However the one thing that hadn't changed was his sense of humor. "Oh my bad." He gave Lestra a smirk. "I forgot to ask if the galaxies busiest man was free! I didn't realize this was going to interrupt your extreme training regiment of sitting here and doing nothing." The smile on his face said it all. Yeah sure he was still covered in bacta patches from the burns, his voice was still coarse for the heat. Yet his pride, unbroken.

This group would quickly learn why Knight Aldore had become just Kain Aldore years ago. Now wasn't the time though as someone else approached. Aris Noble. Kain's gaze lingered on the young man. This was by far the strangest interaction he'd have on the ship. His little stent in cryo did wonders on the people around him. Mainly the fact that Kain had known Aris' mother, Valery longer than she'd been with the boys father, coming back and learning she had not one, not two, but three kiddos was more of a shock than learning how much time had passed.

Before Kain had the chance to respond Gavin had shown up. If he'd had to guess Gavin and he were by far the two oldest members of the crew. While Kain was no mentor or even really a good influence, maybe the two men could balance each other out. "Right introductions. Like I said. I'm Kain, use to be a Jedi but that was ages ago. So now this is what I do. Gavin pretty much hit the bulkhead with the spanner there."

He made his was through the cargo hold and quickly moved himself up the rungs of the ladder. Assuming the crew was still following Kain continued. "Yeah meds mainly, though there are some other things we're aiming to snag on the downlow. Mainly some of the Mon Calamari weapons, and a few parts from their ship foundry to outfit some of our own transportation ships with. Particularly their shield generators, some of the highest rated in the galaxy." Ulterior motives had always been in place. They could outfit their rebellion with weapons from the Mon Cala, if anyone was detained, it would point the Galactic Empire to the Imperial Confederacy. Second, the shield generators could not only be outfitted to smaller transpos for added protection, but if they had an engineer with the right knowledge which Kain did, the genneys could be used to shield outposts from orbital fire, and more importantly, if tweaked, used to mask a radio signal.

"Don't worry about the trip either. We're gonna take Hypergate Lao-Mon to Hypergate Chandaar. Should be a three, maybe four day trip there and back if we spend a little time aboard the station." Turning back, once everyone was aboard the ship Kain would hit the controls and seal the cargo ramp. "Questions, comments, concerns?"
