A Temporary Tool

The Ebon Hawk​

Lightspeed​

​

The Ebon Hawk drifted peacefully through space at the speed of light. T3J8 sat in the mess hall, glad to be back aboard the ship after being left on Annaj for like two months. The mess hall was much cleaner since [member="Norkio Ike"] had returned, she was always good at keeping things cleaned. Speaking of [member="Noriko Ike"], she was asleep in the cabin shared by herself and the captain, he had made sure of it. He wanted to do this on his own, Noriko had already helped him build one lightsaber, he didn't want to bother her by getting her help on this one.

There were three beings on the ship. T3J8, [member="Noriko Ike"] and Captain Kei Garnik. Kei sat at the table, focusing on the sheets of metal in front of him. His last lightsaber had been given away, it was in the posession of [member="Lady Kay"]. She had fallen to the darkside, the lightsaber was hers to deal with. He'd return to collect it someday, however until that day he knew that he would need a temporary weapon, something to tide him by and something to make sure he wouldn't fall victim to angry people trying to kill him, it wasn't worth it.

He coughed into his hand softly, T3 offering a very light beep. He had very little inspiration, he just planned to hit metal until it become a shape, then use the force to finish creating the weapon, the tool he was planning to use. He shook his head, he didn't even have any crystals. He was foolish and weak, he was out of his depth. He didn't want to admit that, he really didn't want to admit that, but he was. Instead, he shook his head again.

"T3, research what I can use for a lightsaber crystal. Please"

Noriko rolled over while she was reaching in the bed there until she wanted to see what was there. She went with her arm and it was empty space before moving around. To let herself think about it and roll out of bed. "AHHHH" Noriko yawned with her thoughts going back to whatever it was that kei was working on something. The jedi knight had a look on her face though while she stretched her arms out seeing in the ship. There was a danger and a small look on her face though while she was standing around the ship itself. Taking a moment or two though while she was looking around. "Hmmm now where is Kei, Ts tell me where Kei is please and that I am looking for him."

T3 offered a little beep towards Noriko, turning himself to face the mess hall. The little droid had grown to trust Noriko, grown to like her after all the time they spent together. The little droid continued towards the cockpit to do his research, wheels gripping to the floor quite well. The ship was smooth in lightspeed, the stars flying past and looking pretty as always. T3 offered another little beep as he entered the cockpit slowly.

Kei stared at the metal in front of him, using the clamp he'd found to hold it in place as he began to bend it with the force. He'd been practicing after his last meeting with Stardust, he'd managed to hone his skills and refine them. He looked lost, if not a little broken. Noriko didn't know about his adventure to see [member="Lady Kay"], she was on the ship at the time. Lady Kay was his problem, she would always be his problem.

She looked at the droid and was walking there for a moment or two when a few ideas of what the droid was saying came to her. Wanting to express a few thoughts here and there. "Thank you, I agree I am hot." She said it mostly to head around and see Kei while she was standing there with a look on her face and the short bangs. "Hey you, if you think any harder you might start a fire." She had a small grin on her face and while not holding her saber staff could see a few more things. "Just what has you up so early huh? Hopefully not thinking about someone else or another trip where you are going to ditch me for a year or two this time." She said it in jest but was also serious as she now had a ship faster and able to disable this one that looked just like it
