Knights of the Old Republic - IC

[Maeglin]

"I'm not particularly worried Nico, Arro is more then capable of providing back-up, he was our combat instructor after-all, besides which, we will shortly be Jedi Knights, none of us are defenseless." she says, reminding him pointedly that he was only a fraction better with a blade then she was.

"I would reconsider what I said earlier since Serana is the one best able to pilot a speeder. I'll take Elan and Arro with me for the extra languages he speaks and Talesa and Serana can see what they can find out in the outlying areas."

"We seem to be in consensus, then, no?" Elan said. "Jade's only change to Arro's recommendations is that Jarec join the Landing Point North group."
"Would that be agreeable to all?" Elan asked.

"Shall we be traveling incognito then, Jade? I have an all-temperature cloak that should disguise my jedi robes. Or perhaps I could borrow or purchase some civilian clothes from one of the crewmen in the ship."

ooc: [sblock] Elan has 50 credits left. He'll probably purchase some clothes. With Jade's extensive wardrobe, I doubt she would be happy with a poorly disguised jedi a la Qui-gon Jinn in Tatooine [/sblock]

"The beings that have done this obviously think that they can take on anything the Republic can throw at them, including jedi, but they may not be prepared specifically for Jedi, or 6 Jedi and a battledroid. I'd rather not give them the forewarning to correct that deficit. However, your point is well taken Arro, you should be with whichever group goes to speak to the Hiss'igoths. Since we cannot all blend in, I suggest that Talessa and Serana as well as perhaps Nico go to the Hiss'igoths as Republic diplomats to get a sense of the natives, and to see if any of them know who is behind the attack. That group can also investigate the capital a bit as well since they aren't likely to blend in well enough in Casino city."

"I'll take Elan and Jarec to Casino City, and we'll gather information from the seedier sources. I know Jarec and I can fit in, and all Elan will have to do is what Jarec does. Then both groups can meet up in the Republic city to compare information and come up with a plan."

"The captain has agreed to give us access to the ships funds to cover any expenses that we have. Mostly anticipatng pay offs to informants. We'll split the funds between the two groups so we have money on hand to cover anything."

"So long as we make a brief stop to speak with both the republic and Czerka representitives in Landing Point north before we head to find the natives proper I think this is a good plan Jade." He nods a little, sweeping hair briefly from his eyes to look over the remaining Jedi. "Ideally our combat prowess will never come up at all, but if you are sending Arro with us to the natives as a translator I have no fear, nor do I imagine that any gang member or thug will give the three of you anything more than passing trouble." He paused "Are we settled then?"

"I believe this plan weighs most factors and plans for them accordingly."

 

[Brother Allard]

Jarec merely nods his assent.

OOC: Jarec's going to need to pick up a heavy blaster pistol in addition to some civilian clothes. If you want to look like scum in a place like Casino City, it's best to carry the right accessories. If what's available on the ship is obviously government issue, then he'll want to stop in Casino City as soon as they land.

The ones on the Glory do probably look like Army/Navy issue...

He paused "Are we settled then?"

"Works for me." Serrana said.

Having made their plans, the Jedi retire to their rooms and then out to see the different parts of the Glory.

Serrana and ARRO are shown to a droid maintenance shop where the spend most of the first days journey installing a translator socket into ARRO’s chest plating. It will only store one language but could also include a number of local dialects. The Glory’s database has the official Republic version of the Hiss’agoth’s language which the two are easily able to upload when they are finished.

Those curious about the flight deck find a number of crews and pilots working on some of the Raptors class starfighters and Corellia class fighter/bomber gunship.

Anyone whom might inquire about it to an excitable tech specialist will tell them that these fighters are some of the most advanced in the Republic, based on models from the Koros Spaceworks shipyard models. These ships where used during the Kraith Holy Wars some 41 years ago just before the Sith Wars. Koros yards produced ship far superior to anything the Republic had at the time and so after the wars they used a great deal of these specs to update the fleet.

OCC [please note I messed up a bit calling the fighter/bombers Hammerhead as the Glory of the Republic is a Hammerhead class Carrier-Frigate. I will go back and edit the above post also as they are now a Corellia class. Sorry about the confusion.]


Two days after boarding the Glory the ship exits hyperspace near the Bogden’s Hyperspace Beacon. Out the main bridges view port display, any Jedi on the bridge can also see a large Hyperspace Terminal (basically big space terminals that often grow up around hyperspace beacons) and two Republic capital ships – the Alderaan’s Sons and another Hammerhead cruiser, the Celestial Warden very near the JumpBeacon.

Captain Dul-Quinn says to no one in particular “They are here to protect the JumpBeacon, in case we fail…”

It takes about two hours to plot a course to Histogoth from Bogden (and will take 9 hours in Hyperspace), and any Jedi interested learns that the Republic is sending a replacement Beacon for the Histogoth system by tug, and it will arrive in two weeks but that they don’t want to move it into the system unless they know it is safe…

OCC [just as an FYI, the minor JumpBeacons can be replace fairly easily but the major ones like the ones here at Bogden are extremely expensive and quite rare… and as such the Republic is taking the thread extremely seriously and is very worried about what might happen]

 

[Karl Green]

Very quickly then, the Glory jumps into Hyperspace again heading into the Histogoth system and a few hours later appears at the very edge of the system.

Captain Dul-Quinn meets the young Jedi at the docking bay as they board the Star Jewel wishing them good luck.

“If you require our assistance Captain Dul-Quinn says “just call and we will be there as soon as possible. But as we are so far out, it will take us most of a day to get to you on Histogoth. Good luck then.”

With that and a final systems check the Star Jewel is launched and the Jedi head in system at maximum velocity, which will mean about 16 hours for planet-fall. These last hours are uneventful and the ship is hailed in orbit by the Republic Port Authority.


OCC –just want to make sure where you wish to drop the airspeeder off and where the Star Jewel is landing… When you do split up, I will try and seperate the posts with Group 1 and 2 in the Title area]

Landing the Star Jewel at the Republic capital to let out the speeder, and then flying the ship to Casino City.
