Knights of the Old Republic: The Last of the Sith(Master Kanas' Group)

[Brother Shatterstone]

Skyka Tarkrak: Human/Female (Force Adept 1/ Jedi Guardian 6)

Skyka speaks softly as she lightly brushes and traces the outline of his lips with a one of her fingers, “Your far more of an expert for curing what ails me than you give yourself credit for,” her tracing stops as she drops her hand, “but you miss understand me… Lysa is a hero in your eyes. You don’t just love her cause she’s your sibling, you admire her cause of what she has done, the good she has brought to the galaxy.”

“I would like to stir those types of feelings in you, I would like to be admired, not because of the feelings we shared, but the good that I’ve done and brought to the galaxy…” She stops in mid thought as small bothersome frown forums on her delicate features.

OOC: Good point/catch: fixed.

"I believe that as long as you keep trying your hardest to do the right thing, you won't just have my admiration. The entire Jedi order will be proud to call you one of us." Aerek said.

“True. That would be nice,” Skyka nods thoughtful but doesn’t say anything else.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Following Skyka's nondescript departure, Bud'd waited until only she and Master Kanas remained in the conference room. Noting her mentor's curious gaze, she moved to sit next to him and spoke in soft quiet tones. Master Kanas, I am not sure it would be wise that I go along on this mission. I was sorely wounded from our last meeting with the Lost and I feel no-where near at full strength. She touched a charcoal coloured hand to her throat and winced a little. I am uncertain about my usefullness in such a state. The group as a whole needs focused and strong members and I.... She trailed off, turning to look over her shoulder. I would not be the reason they fall because I cannot perform to the best of my abilites. Lekku coiling and uncoiling, agitated, the Twi'lek did not turn back.

Master Kanas rested a hand on Bud'd's shoulder and said quietly, "You hold no one but yourself back. You are strong, and will remain strong as long as you trust in the Force. I would not have you stay behind when they may very well require your help. Together, you will all be able to overcome individual weaknesses, be the physical or mental. Now get some rest, and I'll do what I can for the rest of your wounds.

((We all ready to move on?))

*Wryy'ethh does his best to focus his mind, but he is undeniably excited about the upcoming trials. A chance to strike back at those that attacked his master....*

*Cai is more reserved, simply checking her supplies, and reflecting upon the path that brought her here, and will, hopefully, take her further....*

OOC: Ready!

((Aalun is sleeping, so unless he has some dream/vision that needs to be discussed, yep, I'm ready to get going ))

Master Kanas rested a hand on Bud'd's shoulder and said quietly, "You hold no one but yourself back. You are strong, and will remain strong as long as you trust in the Force. I would not have you stay behind when they may very well require your help. Together, you will all be able to overcome individual weaknesses, be the physical or mental. Now get some rest, and I'll do what I can for the rest of your wounds.

((We all ready to move on?))

Still looking away from Master Kanas, Bud'd closed her eyes tightly and allowed the Force to sooth her fears and form her thoughts into a more useful tool for the coming mission. She turned to her Master, Thankyou Master Kanas. Should this all fail, and we do not return, know you have been the guiding light in my journey along the path of the Force. You saved me from a fate of slavery and misery. And ultimately untimely death. I love you in ways that confuse me. A tear rolled down her cheek and she got up to leave, a hand wiping it clear. Let me know when you are ready to offer your healing touch to mine and the others' wounds, I will summon them for you. The Twi'lek went to her quarters and rested, at first in a healing trance, then asleep - sleeping better than she had done in months.

((Ahem! Ready!))

“True. That would be nice,” Skyka nods thoughtful but doesn’t say anything else.

Aerek puts an arm around her, but is a bit at a loss for words.

(assuming nothing important to the rest of the group happens afterward, I'm ready to move on; eventually Aerek will return to his own room and try to get some rest)

Skyka settles with happy content into Aerek’s arms while a small smile graces her features but eventually, after twenty minutes or so, she stands and “pulls” Aerek up and to her side without saying a word and only offering a kiss. Leading him to her new quarters Skyka doesn’t bother to hide their destination, if would be impossible to hide it from Master Kanas much longer, if he didn’t know already.

OOC: I’m happy to move on also… Though Skyka would rather have Aerek stay/sleep in her quarters she won’t fight him if he chooses to leave.

Master Kanas gathered you all together in Cai's smaller ship a short time after night fell. While the small transport wasn't anywhere near the size of the Talon or the Gemstar, there was enough room for all of you and it was small enough that it had more of a chance to go unnoticed.

Truthfully, there wasn't much to be said, and so Master Kanas was mostly quiet as he sat in the pilot's chair and started the ship up. As the drives warmed up, he turned to look back in the cabin where most of you were and said, "Now I only got a cursory view of the area, so I can't say how the defenses are or if there are any. Either way, I'm going to set down a good distance out if you all can survive a walk. I'll keep the sublight engines warmed and the comm channel open, so if you need to get out like yesterday, I shouldn't be nearly as long."

A minute later and the ship was flying over the forests. The cabin itself had no viewports, so your only way to see where you were was through the main viewport in the cockpit. The forests didn't end as the ship got closer to the pole(which was still covered in trees, though it was a bit colder than the rest of the planet...but not by much), but they did thin out somewhat. Instead of the endless tracks of trees making the ground look a lush and bright green, here you could see the dirt and undergrowth without too much trouble, and so there was more variety in the colours below.

And then, in a large plain of noticeably lower elovation that was off near the horizon line, you saw what was definitely not natural. Even in the darkness of night, you could see bright floodlights scattered across an area mulitple kilometers wide. And from the lights, you could see the reflections of metal 'structures' of various shapes and sizes. It was too far away and too dark to make out any kind of detail, though, so they could have been anything from buildings to starships to some kind of gigantic metallic monster straight out of a holodrama.

Master Kanas brought the small ship in fairly close, to the point where you could see what had to be a large wall, before bringing the ship down in a section of slightly denser trees. You couldn't see the wall from there, but that was likely only because of the darkness. However, before setting down, you all got a fairly good view of the area. The metal things were lined up in perfect rows, though height and general size was still very random throughout. There didn't seem to be an end in sight, though, and from the looks of it, the walled in area stretched for kilometer upon kilometer across the pole.

If it was something that was trying to be hid, whoever had decided how to hide it should have their head examined.
