Aalun stands. (Which doesn't change his apparent height much) "When first we parted ways, Master Essenu gave us four profiles for whom we would be looking. Adresnia Galant, Ulic Qel-Droma, Oran Ithsada, Arach Tuorr, and Seros Nedana. We first went to Rhen Var, an Icy Tomb of a world upon which we found Ulic Qel-Drom. To Aalun, he appeared a ghost and told us of his fate. He had been stripped of the Force and trapped upon the world. This seemed accurate to us as we could not sense him in the Force. He begged us to leave him and we did. But he gave us his crashed ship from which we recovered star charts. It was a deal that he made with us that we leave him there for the charts. His derelict ship also carried a data pad with the image of Nomi Sunrider. Aalun thinks Ulic met some foul end, perhaps over Nomi who Aalun wonders might be his love. She held a baby in her arms." At this, Aalun produces the data pad that he pulled out of the ship.
"We were not to say anything of him or that place, save that Shombay chose to stay upon this dead, icey world. Master gave him survival gear and a com relay and we left. These star charts gave us knowledge of where Korriban, the Sith Homeworld, was. We left for Korriban.
"Before arriving, we got a distress signal that seemed to be from you. Aalun wished to go to you, but Master Essenu and Jedi Urcala believed we should continue on. We landed on Korriban where we found a tomb. Aalun downloaded some data, though fears much of it is corrupted." The gand produces his own data pad this time and lays it on the table.
"It was here that we found Master Tuorr. He believed the Jedi were come to kill him but we requested only information on finding Master Essenu's brother. Master Tuorr told us her brother had been there and left a holocron for her but Tuorr destroyed it. It was in the shape of a pyramid and many trapped souls came forth upon its destruction. Both Master Essenu and Jedi Urcala were struck by shards from the Sith holocron, and Master Tuorr attacked. Aalun was no match for the Master, but Aalun tried to lure him away from Master Essenu and Jedi Urcala so they could recover. Master Tuorr followed Aalun, wearing Aalun down for he was no match for the Master's lightsaber. But then, Jedi Urcala struck out and cut from Tuorr his arm. Aalun was happy for a moment that he was able to destract the master in such a way, but suddenly, Master Essenu ordered Urcala to attack Aalun and something came over her and she did. Aalun could not fight Aalun's friend and Aalun fled. Neither Master Essenu nor Jedi Urcala were themselves.
"Aalun thought that perhaps a shard had caused this horror to befall them and used the force to remove it from Jedi Urcala but it did nothing. Aalun fled the planet and came looking for you, for Aalun did not think he could survive alone upon Korriban nor did he know how to save Master Essenu or Jedi Urcala." The gand bows and sits.
