Bakura Knights

He could only pat Sargon on the back for his words, they were exactly what the Jedi Master wanted to hear. "The Force talks to me every second of every day, it's the only reason I'm still here honestly my friend. It's our greatest ally, not a weapon, or a tool. If you use it, or attempt it, you are violating the very force of life itself." Wraith was getting into a lecture, he knew it. Looking over at those who were still slightly delirious, he kept on due to the Zabrak's insatiable thirst to learn. It wasn't often he found someone of a like mind who had an open heart and open ears, most were too attached to their rigid structures to simply let the Force flow through them and direct them towards the proper path. "If you allow yourself to just empty out Sargon, it will be there at all times. Trust me, I wasn't always this calm. I struggled with my immense potential, my actualizing power, and the hubris that came with it, along with the tragedies that happened while i was maturing into the man I am today."

Darron didn't mention the deaths of his parents at the hands of his older brother, the year of slavery after that, or struggling upon entering formal Jedi training after being instructed by both his parents. There was no mention of how his Master had been killed on their first mission, or how he had lost his arm at the hands of a Sith Master that day. Or the brotherhood he had formed with Rolf Sergeo and Je'gan Olra'en. The former went through the ranks with him, the latter was a mentor. Rolf's death, and Darron killing his older brotehr weren't mentioned. The sacrifices he made to get to where he was, the loss of his unborn child and the woman he loved weren't mentioned. Not because they didn't matter, but because through it all he was something few could say.

A true Jedi.

"With this in mind, I want us to go back over there. Their minds are weak, just suggest what you want to know while letting the Force work through you. You won't hurt them, just simply make your suggestions have more weight and they will feel the need to tell you things. If you mess up, I'll get the information and we can work on that lesson later. Lead the way?"

Darron started off over there, they needed the information.

Suggest what you want to know while letting the Force work through you. Was it so simple to effect the mind that he could just ask through the Force? With a respectful nod Sargon walked over to the first alien a Bothan, still barely conscious as he weakly flexed his fingers. Squatting down to stare at her Sargon let his awareness flow with the force around the mind of Bothan seeking to comfort the still reeling mind of the woman. Her mind felt odd, not drugged but literally less aware then the normal sentient mind. He felt compassion for the nearly lost confusion the woman suffered as he eyes slowly found him.

Breathing out he smiled at her, and let his serenity flow through the force and around the Bothan's mind. Letting his mind seep further into the Force he asked her. "Tell me, why are you here? What were you sent to do?"

Slowly her hazy eyes seemed to form an answer, "We were sent to crash the ship into the shipyards, and then trigger the bombs. We were sent here by.... I don't know who sent us."

Wraith followed Sargon over towards the prisoners, and he watched as the Zabrak went to work. In the field of responsibility that emanated from the Jedi Master, he could feel Sargon's intent work with the Force on the female Bothan's mind. Then an answer was formed and Wraith could feel only half of the available truth coming from the Bothan who's mind was still holding on. Impressive, given how mentally broken she is at the moment. Darron's respect for the mental fortitude of the prisoner was growing by the second, as Sargon's mind trick had been quite potent. Seems we've got a natural over here, he thought to himself as he walked up next to the Zabrak to help with the situation. "If you don't mind?"

Darron stepped a little further ahead, before asking a question of them all. His thoughts, suggestions all were laced with the will of the Force as he let his cup fill with the energy of life. "You're lying, so will you all please save us time and give us a straight answer on this?" All of their eyes turned glossy, and then they all replied with the same monotone voice. "Yes, we know. His name is unknown to us, but he is simply called the man with the red hood. He gave us our orders, and we followed him blindly, he says he is a prophet of the deceased Sith Lord Velok." Then all of their heads sank, exhausted from what had just taken place.

"Seems we have our target, now lets inspect that ship again." They would dock soon.

 

[Sargon Vynea]

As much as Sargon paid attention with his mind his true attention was on letting his force sense feel out what @[member="Darron Wraith"] was doing. The response though was unexpected, Velok had sent them here to hit the shipyards. That meant only one thing, they were after the prototype shipyard. It had been modified to build a massive Star Destroyer Class the Fringe's first Interdictor ship, and it was a beast. As to why Velok would aim to destroy the shipyards he wasn't sure, but either way this was a very large problem for the Fringe.

::Lieutenant, divert our course to Bakura. I want the prototype shipyard cleared of personal, and sweeper teams moving through itt.::

Sargon trusted the Force with his life, and his sense of what was right. In this case though he simply felt that there was one thing that was being missed. Moving back towards the prisoners he let the force flow through him, and settle on the Bothan's mind again. Instead of just being a calming influence he also let his question like a worm crawl through her through the force leaving only one honest answer. "These bombs, are they already on the shipyard?"

"The bomb is the shipyard, with the building materials already on board all that is needed is one bomb to set it all off. The transport was to that bomb, and it still is." Her answer put Sargon to silence as he moved his eyes to the Master Jedi hoping he understood what that meant. There was no one left on that transport, how could it still act as the bomb?

"The bomb is the shipyard, with the building materials already on board all that is needed is one bomb to set it all off. The transport was to that bomb, and it still is."

"How can that be?" He asked, a bit of worry showing in his eyes as he looked at the Zabrak standing next to him. "If they intend to blow the entire ship yard, we need to not only check that transport out, there is more to do." Dots were connecting in Wraith's mind, and he motioned with a nod of his head for @[member="Sargon Vynea"] to follow him. It didn't take long in the cramped shuttle to reach the cockpit, and Darron used a simple wave of his hand to open the door instead of pressing it. Ducking down to fit his nearly two meters of height in the rather short bulkhead, he fixed his eyes squarely on the read outs on the display before him. "We need to make haste to that shuttle, if there is any way possible."

He then turned, and kept his voice hushed. "You might want to see if there are any other transports in the system like this one. My worry is that the shipyard is the powderkeg, and they are shooting at it." His tone took an even graver quality,"and you never shoot once at a target you wish to hit."

With a nod Sargon considered the possibility, "It is possible, the power core structures for the new ships have already arrived. Let me have the Defender met us there." Nodding to the pilot to do as the Jedi Master had suggested, the Zabrak watched the lights of hyperspace fade as the ship realigned itself. Opening a secure channel the Governor gave his new orders to his ship. ::Defender, this is Governor Vynea. I need you to immediately reroute to Bakura, and have them initiate a system wide scan. I'd also need planetary based fighters launched, any freighters, or transports are to wait for a full scanning before landing. Let me know immediately if any ships do not comply::

Turning back to the Jedi the Zabrak knew it wouldn't take long for word to get back to him if the terrorists were moving towards Bakura still, the question was how to stop them if they were already there. Ion cannons would disable the transports but they'd still be drifting towards the shipyards with the aid of gravity. It would only take them a few minute to enter the Bakuran gravity well from their position, and hopefully they were both wrong, on what was about to happen.

Waiting in silence Sargon watched the lights of hyperspace vanish as Bakura came up in sudden clarity before the cockpit window. A dozen wings of fighters were circling the planet, and shipyards, and Sargon's heart drop as a ship dropped out of hyperspace next to the shuttle. It was another refugee transport, and he didn't have to ask or wait to here the warning come across the comms to know deep down inside they weren't stopping. ::All fighter's disable that ship with ion cannons, and get me anything with a tractor beam.::

"Well Master Jedi, ready to board another transport?"
