Knights of the Old Republic - IC

Nicolas has been even more quiet than usual on the trip. Retiring to his room almost imediately after the briefing, he had emerged with only his lightsabre and robes, quickly tucking himself away on the transport as they proceeded on the short jaunt up to the 'Glory'.

He emerged at last with his fellow padawans to greet the officers, giving a tight bow of his head at the introduction but otherwise remaining quiet stoic, his eyes looking glazed over, distant as the formalities were discussed, snapping back to reality at last as the mention of a strategy meeting.

It wasn't until the group of them were in motion, making their way down the hallways of the ship that he would slip up next to Jade, his voice low, seemingly absent. It was always this way with him, Though he had the charisma to lead, he found that mundane concerns of order and rank drew him away from the will of the force, instead merely whispering his suggestions in the ear of others. Usually it would be master Sunrider, but in her absence he found Jade's noble heritage served her well in the realm of leadership.

"There is something about this mission that... does not feel right. I've sensed no disturbance but... well trust one's feelings yes? Our task is going to require us to cover a large amount of ground, furthermore time seems to be of the essence.

Might I suggest we split our number initially? Send one group to landing point north, the other to Casino City. If we do not get the information we need from either location we can converge on this... "Summer's Lake" After the fact.


He paused briefly, eyes looking further down the hall, distant for a moment before, satisfied with his choices he continued.

"If I were going to suggest... I would suggest sending Myself, Arro, Elan, and you to Casino City. We'll likely be running into most of the natives there, which means we will need the translator. Furthermore... from the sounds of things it is a little rough and tumble. You are one of our best at negotiation and deception, which will be useful there.

That would leave Serrana, Jerec and Telesa. Between the group of them they should easily be capable of finding out what needs to be known there.
He shrugged briefly, seeming to debate over something before adding. "If you were going to interchange any of them, I would suggest Elan and Serrana, Serrana might truthfully be more useful in Casino city, with her... history. Just my suggestion."

With that he dipped back to the end of the line, arms hanging at his side, playing the attentive tourist to the ship, cataloguing the presentation for later reference.

[sblock=Force Use]Nicolas is using a DC 15 force check, taking 10, to attempt to find any other Force Sensitives on the ship. He does this pretty much any time he moves more than 100 Kilometers. ^_^[/sblock]
(OOC: Forgive the brief delay in my posts. I've been running around with personal emergencies the last two days, try to pick it up since I hate holding up pbp =)

"We can discuss our plans later, some place more comfortable. Before that I have some things to discuss with the captain about the aide the Republic will offer to the mission."

"You are right though, I'll be heading to Casino city to gather information on who the major players are in the system, they should know what we need, but I'll only be taking Arro and maybe Serrana. Gathering information without tipping off the target is hard, and its even harder if you stand out. A group of Padawan travelling together looking for someone is going to stand out like a sore thumb and she and I can best fit in."

The captain then adds “My duties are on the bridge, but after you have settled you may join me or take a tour of the ship as you desire. CRO Melan can show you around

"Thank you. I'll have to take you up on that offer." Capital ships were far too big to have any fun with, but they did have impressive firepower. And she needed to find a workshop.

[sblock=OOC]At some point, Serrana pulls everything she can out of her copy of the files Master Sunrider had thought relevant to their mission (take 20 on use computer = 30), and handles the upgrades on Arro (take 20 on mechanics also =30)[/sblock]
 

"Thank you for your hospitality," Talesa said to Captain Dul-Quinn, with a slight bow. "If your medical staff needs assistance in the infirmary, I am well trained at medicine, and am willing to help."

She nodded in agreement with Jade's suggestion. "I would do best looking for information in Landing Point North. I do have my suspicions about Czerka in this affair, but that is all. We should perform at a least cursory investigation at their offices while we are on the planet."
 

Elan Xandar Renn, male human jedi 6, HP 68/68 (no conditions)

"As you wish," Elan replied. "If Jade, Serrana and Arro go to Casino City, then Jarec, Nicolas and I can accompany Talesa to Landing Point North."

"I think visiting Czerka is a crucial first step. We must get them to agree on rescinding their bounty on Hisst'agoats. Later, when we find the natives, we can at least show them that Czerka will cease hunting their herds. It should facilitate negotiations."

"After that, depending on what the other team finds in Casino City, perhaps we can rendez-vous at the foothills of the Yellow-Mountains."

"According to Master Sunrider, the local Republic representatives should be able to furnish us with some means of transportation, perhaps a suborbital craft or a landspeeder, since Jade and Serrana will be taking the Star Jewel to Casino City."

"Once at the mountains, we can make the trek to the Summer Lake enclave."
 

Jarec follows the others, silent for the time being. Feeling no strong disagreement with the plan that appears to be evolving, he consents to be lead. The others know him well enough to interpret his silence as provisional assent.
 

Jade bit back an irritated frown. Having everyone speak up and trying to decide how the group was going to solve the problem simply wasn't very professional. The Padawans needed to be taken seriously by the Captian and the Republic if they were going to complete their mission, and squabbling about that would make the Soldiers treat them like children, it was already a disadvantagethat they were know to be Padawans. They needed whatever authority that they could muster and eroding that would just make the job harder.

"This isn't the place for these discussions. Perhaps the Chief Petty officer could show you to a confrence room so that you can begin deliberating?" Jades asks indicating the CPO, through the force she sends a 'please' to each of the other Padawans.

OOC: by taking 10 she can succeed on a Telapathy check to reach even Talessa, and she only needs to do that if the other Padawans don't want the telepathic contact
 

Serrana continued to hold off voicing any plans until the petty officer had left, and they were alone in one of their staterooms.

"I'm not going too far undercover unless Jarec or Elan is staying close at hand. Too many people jump to conclusions when they see a pretty young Twi'lek girl in a seedy part of town on a backwater planet. Now, if she's got a blaster on her hip, then no one's going to try anything, but that will draw almost as much attention as Jedi robes." She adds once they were alone.

"You are right, of course," Elan acquiesced, recalling Master Arios Vol's words. Patience, Elan. You must learn patience.

Elan thought he had made great progress in this area, but it was still his biggest challenge on the road to becoming a Jedi Knight. He realized now, he still had much to learn.

He would wait for Jade to finish her inspection of the ship. Elan himself knew little of capital ships, and had but only passing acquaintance with the operation of smaller craft. That was another field in which he suspected he might have to apply himself. Soon...

Patience, young padawan. One thing at a time....

"I do have a few questions for you though on this ship and its capabilities, it could be important for the mission if our suspicions are correct. I'll need to now what I...what we have to work with."

Captain Dul-Quinn nodded and replied "Of course. After you have settled in, you and your fellow Jedi whom wish to may meet my on the bridge". She then excuses herself (after all have made their greetings) and departs with about half of the officers.

The remainder of the Glory's officers had stepped back to allow the young Jedi to their discussing in private, while CRO Melan escorts them to a private conference room that is attached to private chambers for each of the Jedi. There is also a small kitchen unit that CRO Melan offers to fix them something.

Ifs I’is cans dos anythings mores fors yous, pleases lets mes knows the Bothan says in a light and high voice. If not, he excuses himself to await anything else outside the conference door.
