Private A request among Jedi

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms
He let out a hum as she explained why meeting such a being was so risky. It was a fair statement. Such a creature may simply have no consideration for the likes of Gnoll or the younger races. Even if he met such a being, they may not provide anything at all. If he'd even know who they were.

Krass also elaborated further on the Forge. The way it worked and the variation between who could or couldn't use the creations of this place. It was an interesting matter. He knew of weapons that could only be used through the darkside. He knew holocrons were often reliant on a specific use of the force to open it. And some jedi artifacts. But this was slightly more...common. That was not the right word. It was more familiar. The weapons, the holocrons, the artifacts. They each had a very specific uniqueness to them and were easily recognized generally.

This was a ship. It was something much less often assumed to be such a thing. "Does that mean that there will not be any concern, or reduced concern, about these things being hijacked?" he inquired, "It certainly would be a pleasant thought. The dark side has a great many servants as it is."

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

That question got a grin from her... "Let them try." Nothing was ever perectly safe but she could make it much much harder and the lightside could do plenty to protect people.. the other advantage was where the darkside ripped and tore at the fabric of the universe.. the lightside could slide and enter between it. As shown by this ship which was able to enter a pocket of dimmensional space that normally required violent miscalculations to enter or stumble into. She was looking at many of the other thigns though... where they could go and she had the forge itself with a model for what would hopefully become a much greater project. "this ship though is just a prototype.. a personal one. The real goal here is with enough experimentation to creaate a true forge. A dyson sphere around a sun here in the well that can draw in the power." She motioned to the side where he could go and check out some of the other pieces. "But that is my plans, compared to some of the other jedi I am here a hermit who makes things... I am supposed to try and make the newest and best."

 

[Gnoll]

Gnoll chuckled at her remark. He did imagine it wouldn't be too easy to take it, at least intact. From what he'd seen and been told already the ship and her were capable of incredible things. While he could not determine if that translated over immediately into defending itself, it might have other tricks available.

She said this ship was a prototype. Which made sense. It was doing something he'd never actually heard of being managed, certainly not in such a controlled situation. Though, her explanation of what she really wanted was a but of a long way away. At least, it felt that way. He could only imagine just how much someone would need to put something like that together. He let out a hum in thought.

As she finished, he thought over it for a long time, "That is quite a goal. I can only imagine how much time and work must go into such a thing, and protecting it." He looked at the seed as he spoke, "Such a venture, it could be remembered for a long time. Like creations such as the Star Forge. But this time, perhaps it could be properly created, and properly used. A forge of the dark-side compared to a forge of the light. I suppose someday we may see that."

"We shall see." She was working on it and bringing up what they could she saw more parts of the forge holding the blade at the ready before they were heading off. She looked at the materials and was trying to see what they could use for the hilt when she brought it over to the whetstone and was working on sharpening it. The force going from her hands into the blade itself and she could focus the force into it. "Everything though will have to be seen and the star forge was fashioned to draw power from the force... this creates with the force but I am not siphoning it to feed and empower it. I draw from the suns around the well where it can be used." She said it with a look though while indicating the screen and the design for the exterior of his ship was being set up. "For you thogh, the exterior framework and systems will be easy enough to make it will be the interior you need to grow into it. I can get plenty of synthetic lightning that will work for plants."

 

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms
She explained that the Star Forge drew power from the force, while this was using the force, but not pulling it's power from it. It's power did come from the star. Which, really, was probably the only way something like this could be made. Star's had so much power behind them that such a thing could go on for a very long time and never have a power issue.

Then came the matter of his ship. She'd prepare most of it. Including lights for plants, that made him smile again...well, being a plant, that was kind of necessary. And one of the biggest necessities. He however, would also have his part to play. The seed must be grown for the ship. He looked at it trying to think on the matter, "Hmmm. Growing the seed is one thing. But I do not know how to grow it to fit a ship? Is there a specific technique? Or will I wait for the ship to be made and just, let it grow as it chooses?"

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

How did she make it grow? Krass turned her head away to make it look like she was thinking about it and she was but it was less a secret technique and more... she might have sang to it... and danced with it and..... Nope nope nope she wasn't going to think about it again lest he feel her thoughts as she turned. "Ahh well it is sort of personal.. you could talk with it, try to bond with it but it does come down to what you are thinking about with it." Yep that was the best way to explain it and no one would ever know that she sang to her tree to make it grow... no no one would ever know. Though she was awesome.

 

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms

He let out a hum again as she gave her answer. So it was simply going to grow with how it grew. "I can grow myself on my own. Or other plants. The force grants that gift easy enough to me. But I want to take care with this one." he said letting there be a pause again "I believe I shall meditate with it. And we shall simply be together for a time."

The Neti sat down holding the plant, close to him creaking coming to a stop as he became almost perfectly still, eyes open, but otherwise unmoving. Before he realized something and looked up, "Perhaps I should wait until the craft itself is made? I imagine you do not want me to do this right where I am."

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

She looked over at him and shrugged. "You would not be the first to meditate in a forge.. I do it as well there is just something about the heat and smell of metal that is... ahhh how best to explain it.... home." She said it and that might have been the best idea of how to say it. She knew there was a lot to be done and she was thinking about the ways to work on new metals as well as replenish the stocks of what she had here in the storage compartments of the vaults. The jedi master stretched out before she went back to working and one of her smaller droids brought her some of the flavored meads that were derived from the jedi temple gardens.

 

[Gnoll]

She said this was like home to her. That was interesting. While the heat and metal were very much not like that for him, he didn't fully see how it was that way for a more animal based creature either. Still, perhaps it was the familiarity. He was used to being on a planet. To him, home was as simple as being somewhere with life, and with the sun. Simple requirements that could be met on numerous places in the universe.

He nodded appreciatively, so he could meditate. Very well. He sat, quietly, almost perfectly still. Simply feeling the similarities between himself and the seed. Feeling the bond and remembering the way a seed grows, the way it sprouts and expands its limbs, stretching to reach the world around it like he had. Some jedi had a connection to animals, it was a lot like that for Gnoll except it was for plants. Yes, they were simpler with exceptions of beings like the Neti. But they were alive nonetheless.

Krass let him meditate and she was working within the forge itself.. going to another section where she could meditate and it opened to the dreamscape as she was working on the energies here... building it from her mental processes when she could. A new metal that was more an experiment to see what could be mad and brought back from this pocket dimension to the boundaries of realspace. She would have to be able to see a couple more things though and opened one of the bottles as she was drinking it and the honeyed liquid slid down her throat with the aftertaste of berries from around the galaxy. She breathed in and then outwards as what wwould become tetherite formed from it in front of her for experimenting and testing purposes.

 

[Gnoll]

Gnoll stayed with the seed, meditating. It was growing as he sat there. Silently sitting with the planter in his hands. His eyes were shut and he wasn't paying much attention to anything else, just focusing on the simple aspect of growth and life itself. He could still sense Krass Wyms doing work. He could sense the ship itself and its tree. And he let those things fill his attention as well. Not so much specifics, but their very existence. He didn't understand Krass's ways and how she could utilize the force and the forge, as incredibly as he found it, Gnoll's experience with such aspects of the force were more limited. He was used to the simplicities, things involving exclusively the living things. But it didn't mean he couldn't be impressed or appreciate that which was beyond him at the time.

She cold sense him as he worked with his seed and Krass allowed herself a moments rest as the smaller jedi went to other sections of the forge itself. Namely the living area and she dind't just spend allof her time there... no she grew food and had the equipment that was needed to ensure the ship was self sustaining. They had more equipment around the ship for other things as well when she fabricated some clothing that she would be able to use and change into. The different style robes for different purposes that had been created as she pulled up what would be a second generation series of saber components. The crystal assembly one of the most important parts as it was a larger assembly for a lightsaber and made it much easier to align the crystalsas well as add more. The triangular lens design with a duel system allowed it to resist cortosis overload and the ignition pulse was for underwater.

 

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms

Gnoll would sit, almost utterly still, with the seed as time passed. He was in no rush to be anywhere. He was in no rush to do anything. And so he sat. Communing in a way with fellow plantlife. Perhaps only one of them was truly sentient. But that didn't mean there wasn't a connection there. It was like a human having a pet. Growing closer and closer.

Time would pass until finally he truly believed their connection was complete. Gnoll stood up, finally opening his eyes again, and moving to find the forgemaster. His voice was deep and he tried to speak loud enough that it would be heard easily without actually shouting, "Master, the process is complete." simple enough words.

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

The time it had taken was beneficial to the both fo them.. his ship was constructed.. the design using an atrisian model which was in the database and the construction droids she had able to rapidly build as they had built in fabricators and molecular furnaces. She was using the time to work o different craftiing projects as some needed to set within their molds and others needed to cool down as the jedi master tinkered with other designs. The toolkit which was just a wrist vambrace on steroids compared to many others, some fo the designs for vehicles and ships that would be beneficial including the shima class for the atrisian jedi. It was built open enough but could match some starfighters and swoop bikes in terms of speed to a scary degrees. Then she heard him and looked up." Ah wonderful and just in time, our ship should have most of the initial exterior done at least to be sealed."

 

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms

Well that was fortunate. She was done. He let out a hum as he smiled hearing that and they went and he could view the creation. It was incredibly that she could make something this massive this fast. But he'd used words so many times in his awe that they weren't usably again. "Must never under-estimate a craftsperson." he said aloud. "They make the gears that help galactic society move."

The ability to produce was an extremely powerful one and one he would respect. He lacked the technical or scientific knowledge to expand to such a degree as this. She did say she wasn't quite finished, but still, having any large portion of a ship done without it being a pre-established craft was generally a far longer period.

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

She was looking at him as they were moving and the forge had returned at some time to realspace... the well with its stars and pulsars that glowed all around them and the rapid constructors could do quick work when they were opening up the ship itself. It was largely gutted but that was where the organic components would grow from the tree itself. The basic parts of it were there but the amnoid was still and not working like a lifeblood yet. She motioned for him to come and spoke heading towards the bridge of the ship. "Now it will once planted be permanent so make sure you are ready for it and as it grows stronger in the frame you will be able to grow your own seedlings if you need them."

 

[Gnoll]

Gnoll looked at the otherwise rather empty yet, it was prepared still. He followed as she motioned and. She explained how important being ready for it was, and that in time more seeds would be prepared as well. He hummed in response, holding the seed thoughtfully. "So, as soon as I and the seed are ready?" he asked to be sure. Best not to make mistakes.

He stepped forwards to look at the location. Holding the seed and looking at it, feeling the connection. Ready. Yes he believed they were ready if it was indeed time.

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

"Yes when you are ready, it will need to take root and the connections are important. Then it will have the amniod fluid which serve as nutrition throughout the ship flowing through it. It is just like anything that can be living but will get stronger with its connect coming in when it is properly in place." She said it and was looking at many of the things here as she touched it and looked up towards where it wouldgrow to. The planter for it in the center actually was several that were partitioned and would root t and spread out as it grew to allow one to go into the central area of it for seeds and to commune with the tree as it were... best way to control the ship and reach the others.

 

[Gnoll]

Krass Wyms
He listened intently as she explained the connections and how the fluid would sustain it. He nodded grateful for her response, and began to step closer to the planter. Setting the seed in its place carefully and then stepping back and looking at all where the plant would end up growing. It was so much more than a mere ship this way. He could feel like he was at home even in space and that made this even greater. He could only imagine how many other great things the forge-master had made having done this with aid only of other creations and the force.

 

[Krass Wyms]

Gnoll

She lkooked at him and there wa s asmall look of pride as she leaned against one of the metal partitions looking at him. The amniod was sluggiish at first but it would adapt as it was feeling the energy coming now and she spoke when her hand brought out a mons eye. "If you want to see we have force scouters... it can detect the faintest amounts of force energy or the largest depending on what you want. We created them tofind artifacts if it was needed but well there weren't enough being used so only a handful of them have survived." She said it and smirked though placing it on her ear with a look over at parts of it and she could see it bringing up the interface with the readings.
