Better Silver Than Nothing [Iella + Any Silver Jedi]

[Zion Krayt]

He didn't know what the Silver Jedi stood for, all he knew was that many of them had been members of the Jedi Order that was linked with the Galactic Republic, and they had left. Left for what? To hunt down Sith, it wasn't the Jedi Way, but it was necessary in his opinion to hunt down the Sith, but to leave the Order as a whole and to form your own?

Foolish.

It was too late to change their minds now obviously, perhaps when he shared this information with them then he would be able to get an idea of what the Silver Jedi stood for. Until then, all he needed to do was land this ship upon the planet of Voss, and he only had a few more minutes until that was done.

He was walking away from the cockpit of his shuttle, having already activated the autopilot that was guiding him towards the Temple upon Voss. His sensors told him where they were, there were some life forms upon the planet mostly in a general area.

So he headed there first, hopefully they were who he was looking for.

[Maya Carrick]

On the very end of the forest was where Maya had choose to put herself into a bush, letting the force flow over to her companion. "Hunter, easy boy, wait." as she stroke its thick scales upon all his body. Seeing that his big saucer eyes that was upon the now ship landing down upon the ground. Strand as it was, knowing that no one was to be landing there. This was either a very foolish one, or one that had been given information to where the Silver Jedi had hidden themselves upon Voss.

Waiting she did only to find herself taking the first step out of the forest that she had spend the last couple days by herself. Having a lot to think about also to once again train hard with in the heart of the forest. In her set of skills this was the best way to train but at the same time provide for the Orders Kitchen. In her full AKK amor Dog Scales. All the weapons was knifes, small pistol if need but most of the time it was by her warrior skills.

Letting the small gust of wind whip around her bring her flowing purple hair, her skin showing under piece of armor, also with the tattoos that was tribe of Haruun Kal. Leaving the kills that was now being drag behind the AKK dog on a make shift sled of sorts. Bring herself up to a point before she stopped and waited. Putting her hand upon her AKK dog to smooth him. Reaching out in the force upon this one to make sure he wasn't here to cause trouble.

Waiting upon he got up to her before she would speak first, "Greetings, I"m am Knight Healer Whitelight", trying to give off a friendly warmth from her that always flowed out.

[Zion Krayt]

Through the Force he felt another presence nearby, it was the presence of [member="Maya Whitelight"] but he didn't know her. All he knew was that it was a neutral presence to him, and she meant no harm when she approached him. He may have seemed imposing however, with his phrik armour covering himself and an assortment of lightsabers upon his belt, although the belt was concealed, as were the other weapons that were within hidden places upon his armour.

"My name is Bishop, Knight Healer Whitelight." He replied in kind, unsure as to whether he was meant to just name her by Knight, or both Knight and Healer, and finishing with surname, it seemed a bit of a mouthful. His helmet was over his head, so the only thing that she heard was a voice that was changed due to the armour's speakers. The whole point of the armour was to hide his identity and to provide him with protection.

"Where is your temple?" He asked without hesitation and quite neutrally. He may have seemed rude and blunt, but he had a mission and there was a Galaxy to be protecting. "Gather the rest of your Jedi Order." He said, purposely leaving out the Silver part. A Jedi was a Jedi.

 

[Maya Carrick]

It wasn't a distrusting person, in the order she was the less one to worry about. There was the smiling also a bit of playfulness to her own voice. Feeling almost with out words about how she introduced herself. Been away out in the forest that long. "Just call me, Maya, Bishop." as then let the force flow to her AKK dog to come out where he was hiding.

"Hunter, and I are heading that way, if you care to leave your ship there as no one will bother it. If you want to I can leave Hunter to guard he does a good job, is very trained to obey.", smiling upon her lips with a wink. Even those the Council had told her to try and act right, it was hard to, it was after all in her personality. Finding herself putting her hand on his should for an answer."

If you choice to fellow. "The temple is only down this path about quarter of a mile."

After speaking she let herself reach into one of the leather bags, on her hips to pull out a commlink. Letting the others know at the temple would be bringing a guest back with her, by the name of [member="Zaren Bouqi"]. Putting it down as she made her way to the path then downwards until they go to where the trees had been cleared way to show the grand temple. "If you want to, if you care to visit again some times, there is a landing pad out back of the temple and there is a small one on the top of the temple.", giving a bow.

An Wookie came out of the temple, speaking to her in a few growls and grunts before taking the meat of the skinned creatures she had taken care to kill with her bare hands. "I"m sure some Masters will be out soon.", giving another smile upon her lips.

 

[Zion Krayt]

He paid the Zeltron no heed when she placed her hand upon his shoulder. The only acknowledgement she got for doing that, was a quick but gentle hand rising and pushing her arm back down to her own side. He didn't even know the woman, and he didn't expect to stay for long enough to become 'friends.'

"What is the point of the Silver Jedi? Why leave the Jedi Order to form your own?" He said as they made their way along the path, there was a Wookiee that emerged and took the meat from [member="Maya Whitelight"], it was sudden, but he had sensed the furry beast as he approached them. He figured he would return before them and describe what he looked like to the other Silver Jedi before they came and see what he wanted.

"I don't plan on returning to Voss anytime soon, Knight Healer Whitelight." He replied drily and only had eyes for what was going on in front of him, and let his force senses focus on what was going on around him. There was nothing else to worry about, he may have seemed like the biggest cock, but he decided there was something wrong with the Silver Jedi before he had even met them.

Weird Jedi.

"I hope there are Masters out soon, the Galaxy is in danger at this moment."

 

[Lord Gaius]

There was a distant chant that rose from a crest of a hill. The roar of thudding boots accompanied by group of soldiers. The Sixth Battalion were performing their daily exercises. At their head was a heavily armoured man, but the soldiers were likewise in heavy armour. It was better to train in what you wore to battle, than what you wore when at HQ. Their armour was state of the art, and likewise were the foreign blasters slung over their shoulders. The Jedi General at their lead was a Nautolan who had been present during the Siege of Coruscant. He was now forced to live in a life support system, it's outer hull was of durasteel. A variety of weapons adorned his belt. The exotic lightwhip, the rare San-Ni staff, an AB-1 heavy blaster pistol, saberstaff, double-bladed lightsaber pike and lastly the traditional lightsaber - single bladed. He was not only the Jedi General of the Sixth Battalion, but an Exotic Weapons Master and former Naval Commander of the Republic Navy. The cadence echoed deep in the air;

When I die please bury me deep!
Place an AB-1 down by my feet!
Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear!
Just pack my box with PT gear!
Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five!
The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky!
Don't you worry, don't come undone
It's just my ghost on a PT run!​

Hasjo Hallu motioned for Commander may to take the lead. He had spotted the vessel, and his communication officers had alerted him to it's presence in the star system. He had broken a sweat, and his troopers behind him were drenched in their own within their suits. Most were humans and near-humans. The Nautolans were blessed with great endurance, agility and strength. It was a natural result of their species being an amphibious one. It required endurance and strength to swim all day long, every day. He slowed to a fast walking pace before finally halting beside [member="Maya Whitelight"], clasping a welcoming armoured hand on her shoulder in greeting. He glanced to the other, [member="Zaren Bouqi"], "New here?" Hasjo asked. Unlike Maya, Hasjo's voice was synthesised. It wasn't organic or even natural.

 

[Zion Krayt]

It looked as if the being in front of him had suffered quite a bit. He was an obvious warrior with all of the weapons dangling off of him, or a hoarder. He doubted he even went through all of those weapons while he was in a fight, having so many was kind of unnecessary in his opinion, but nevertheless he shook his head in reply to the Nautolan's question.

"I am new to this part of the planet, yes, but I am not joining your Order." He said, the voice from his armour being neutral, giving no emotion to his words.

"I came to speak to your Council, and your Order has a whole, it is for the betterment of the Galaxy."

[member="Hasjo Hallu"] - [member="Maya Whitelight"]

 

[Lord Gaius]

The metalloid Nautolan crossed his powerful arms against his barrel chest. He paid heed to the man as he spoke, "I came to speak to your Council, and your Order has a whole, it is for the betterment of the Galaxy." Hasjo offered a waving of his hand to the direction of the temple. "I'm confident Maya is taking you to the Temple." The Jedi Knight draped his hands over the hilts of two weapons, the baton of the San-Ni staff and the other being a Lightwhip. He marched alongside them towards his home, and the home of many Jedi. It seemed every Jedi here had their own reasons for joining the Republic, and just as every reason was unique, so was Hasjos. He glanced to the man, asking in his monotone voice, "Is there anything I could help you with in the meantime, and how may the Galaxy achieve betterment from this visit?"

​

It was time to take a break, many hours spent over dispatches from many parts of the Galaxy needed her attention. Some from Silver Jedi stationed in other parts of the Galaxy, sent on mission of recon and scouting especially since the fall of Coruscant in which some of the finest Jedi in the Order went to aid the Jedi Order. They had lost that day much to Iella's discomfort as many of her friend are still in the Order. She had been in constant contact with Kiskla ever since.

However, a few moments of reprieve was in order and so Iella walked out of the Silver Temper and into the sun light of the growing day. Before she started down the steps however, she sensed the presence of a new comer to Voss, a presence that told her Jedi but one she had yet to meet. Her head turned to the right, and only moments later figures came into view. One she knew immediately .. Knight Whitelight and with her Knight Hallu and another.

She walked the steps to meet them, curious as to who had visited and how they would know of the Silver Jedi Order location, as only one in the Jedi Orders knows of this. Her brow knitted at this thought. However, she approached them and bow her greetings to the two Knights. "A fine day this is .. and a fine day to meet someone new", she allowed a smile. "I am Master Iella E'ron, how can I help you".

 

[Zion Krayt]

He continued to walk with his two Knights as escort. The one who seemed to be clad in metals was curious. He liked that. "You will see." Giving nothing away with his answer, he continued until they were greeted by a blonde woman, one that introduced herself as a Master.

Subtle.

"I am Jedi Knight..." For a moment he wasn't sure if he should give his real name or alias. Only for a moment. "Bishop." He concluded. It was clear that Zaren Bouqi has trust issues. "You can help me [member="Iella E'ron"] by bringing the whole of your Order before me, so that I can make them aware...Aware of the growing Sith presence."

[member="Maya Whitelight"]
[member="Hasjo Hallu"]

 

[Lord Gaius]

Hasjo took the mans answer and nodded his head. Coming upon the Temple, [member="Iella E'ron"] greeted them. "Master E'ron, I am blessed to be in your presence" he greeted her as he did with many of the Masters here. The voice was so lifeless, devoid of any emotion. He sounded like a programmed droid, but within the suit was a trapped being. He craned his neck to [member="Zaren Bouqi"] "You can help me Iella E'ron by bringing the whole of your Order before me, so that I can make them aware...Aware of the growing Sith presence."
"If I may" Hasjo interrupted, glancing to Iella briefly. The General was known to respect protocol quite often - but he was also stubborn. And those last few words the man had spoken had triggered that certain stubbornness within the Nautolan. "I consider it a deep matter of security to bring the entire Order together for a stranger of whom we do not know. I'm sure such a presence is not necessary, and whatever information that is to be shared can be broadcasted to the others," he said to Iella, giving her his advice. It was just that, advice, he didn't expect her to take it, but he hoped she would. In times such as these, it paid to be wary. He tossed a look towards the Knight, commenting "The Silver Order is well aware of the largely growing Sith presence. We participated in aiding the defence and evacuation of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant - and the Sixth Battalion of the Antarian Rangers, and myself personally, have been holding back the New Order in the Outer Territories."
Hasjo's posture was stiffer than usual. He was top-class military brass, he was always rigid in posture, but this was altogether a different kind. Hasjo was uncomfortable and unsettled by the words of the man. He had suffered much from the Sith, and in the way the man spoke was as though Hasjo was clueless about the followers of Bogan, or so he interpreted such words. The General had lost a lot to the Sith, so much of him was gone. His very nature as a Nautolan had all but been eviscerated. He nodded to Iella, stepping back "I beg your forgiveness for my interruption, Master."

[Mother Askani]

As an instructor, she was usually teaching the young and helping the older brush up on things they may not have known. It was her job, and she enjoyed assisting the younger generations. Though these were tasks she had to handle when she returned some days ago from aiding in a diplomatic mission with fellow Master Aika Kawakami. When the re-emerging sith came to, there had to be forces that were able to keep the peace in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, especially with the Republic quite busy holding them off, it was the least they could do.

She finally ended her lessons of the day, and would retire to some meditation before going back to the Gardens to look over the plant growth. Walking through the Silver Temple Halls, it was brought to her attention that there was a visitor seeking the Council. Ru proceeded with her duties, and attempted to relocate herself to the area of this meeting, she was sure Iella was already there. She knew the other members were quite busy and handling other business, which is why it was vital she attend.

From down the massive hall she could see the group gathered, she proceeded down the elaborate steps slowly, and when she came to the last step she would gracefully walk herself over. It would seem [member="Hasjo Hallu"] [member="Maya Whitelight"] and as she assumed [member="Iella E'ron"] were already here to make acquaintances. She would enter the conversation to introduce herself, standing near her fellow Jedi.

"Greetings, Im Master Sochi Ru, it was brought to my attention the Council was being sought after?"

[member="Zaren Bouqi"]

 

[Zion Krayt]

The Jedi Knight that was [member="Hasjo Hallu"] was someone that he could respect. But in the current situation they were in, Zaren Bouqi wasn't exactly sure what to think of him. He seemed more soldier than Jedi, but when Zaren had mentioned Sith he had felt something through the Force from his presence. Behind his phrik helmet, he blinked a few times, silent, unsure as to how to reply. He had utterly been stumped for a brief few seconds, and he soon replied with, "I am here for certain reasons, and figuring out the numbers of your Order, or sacrificing myself to wipe out your entire Order is not something that I had planned on doing today." The emotionless voice responded through the Protector of Tython's armour.

He thought his answer was even and fair, but that was only part of it.

"I thank you for your effort in facing off against the New Order in the Tingel Arm. But that is only a general location. Do you know where every single planet underneath their influence is?" He felt as if he were the antagonist in this situation, but whatever he had to do to get his point across. "I also have done my part to fight the Sith in the Arm, but they have taken two planets that I had decided to defend. Telos IV, and Mirial." He paused for the next few moments when [member="Sochi Ru"] introduced herself.

The only acknowledgement of her presence was his head rotating upon his neck and looking at her through his helmet's default optics, with a nod.

"I came here to learn a few things Master [member="Iella E'ron"], and Master [member="Sochi Ru"]. What is the purpose of the Silver Jedi Order, especially when there already is a Jedi Order. I know that a few of your members have taken part in attacks upon Republic planets, and I respect that, however, out of all of those who take part in the invasions, only a select few actually take part in the fighting." His head rotated and looked over Jedi General, Hasjo Hallu. "I want to know why the Silver Jedi wish to be hidden upon the fringes of Republic Space, aid the Republic in defending her planets, but do not go upon the offensive against the New Order and the One Sith?"

[member="Maya Whitelight"]

 

[Bellalika]

I am here for certain reasons, and figuring out the numbers of your Order, or sacrificing myself to wipe out your entire Order is not something that I had planned on doing today."

Bellalika raised an eyebrow while she listened, the auditory receptors of this body were wonderful while she sat there and looked to the ones who had shown up to meet the jedi. Well strangely since she had been sure not many were supposed to have known about this location. Though hearing him saying he'd wipe them out was something she hadn't expected while slipping down and landing on the ground made an impact crater from the new found weight of having a cybernetic body. Rising up she moved not brandishing the saber but letting herself move near Maya to protect her if need be while Sochi and Iella were here.... THen she thought about the one who had come with Iella and threats would make the former councilors not happy. "Wiping out an entire order seems such a waste and oh how I do love this. First the jedi are warmongers for fighting and now threats for not wanting to go to battle. It is like a five year changing the rules in dajarek when they start to lose."

 

[Lord Gaius]

Hasjo turned to another Jedi who had made an appearance. She spoke, "Wiping out an entire order seems such a waste and oh how I do love this. First the jedi are warmongers for fighting and now threats for not wanting to go to battle. It is like a five year changing the rules in dajarek when they start to lose." Hasjo contained himself rather than speaking out to her. He did not know her, but had seen her around once or twice. It was not his place to put others in their place. He commanded the Sixth Battalion, and nothing more. He looked to 'Bishop,' nodding in his direction, "Then if I may. I will be detailing an escort for our own protection. The Galaxy is dark and strangers cannot always be trusted." He brought his wrist to his faceplate, speaking into the transceiver. The message would reach the Sixth Battalion Communication Centre, ten kilometres out from the temple. He had requested the presence of Fireteam Pool for guard duty. When the man turned to him, asking why they were not on the offensive, Hasjo informally answered before the Masters could, "Never settle a score until you're certain you can finish the job." Hasjo once more crossed his arms along his chest, "I wish to know, for whom do you represent and how did you find us?"

He turned his gaze to look upon [member="Bellalika"], and he wondered if they had truly heard the words he had spoken. But when she had accused him of threatening the Silver Order, he just ignored everything else she had to say. Obviously, whatever he had seen had passed right over her head and he wouldn't be the one to explain it to her.

"As you wish." He replied to [member="Hasjo Hallu"]'s first reply. But then when it came to his second, and third, Zaren Bouqi had responses prepared at the exact instant. "So you plan on finding out every single piece of information upon the Silver Jedi before striking?" That's how Zaren interpreted what the Nautolan was saying, but he didn't second guess himself and continued with his third reply, "I represent myself, and I came here upon my own accord. Also, how long did you think you were going to stay hidden upon the edge of Republic Space?" It was a rhetorical question, but an answer would be amusing.

[member="Sochi Ru"] - [member="Iella E'ron"]

 

[Mother Askani]

"Forgive the suspicion of my brothers and sisters, but we've never met with you before, and only a select few have knowledge of our location." she would say in her soft, exotic speech. She allowed the others to say there words and statements, and it seemed that everyone in this moment were just a little too cautious and suspicious of one another, there isn't much to gain from such. Though in most cases, these things are justifiable. No one here meant harm upon one another, this she sensed. She looked to [member="Iella E'ron"] maybe there was something she knew that Sochi didn't concerning this visitor.

"First, might I suggest everyone we all give one another a chance and stop being so guarded. That's no state to be in and communicate well." she said taking a step forward and interjecting her soft voice over that if the others when she found her an opportunity. She then reverted her attention back to this...Jedi Knight. "Firstly, your name? I address everyone in honorifics, Iella and myself have shared with you our names, now may we ask the same in return as a sign of mutual respect?" she said softly, and motioning with her hands slowly as she spoke. She gave enough time before she continued. None of them present were complete strangers, they were all brothers and sisters in the force, Jedi, where the group and individual were one and the same.

"Remain Hidden? And not take up arms against the re-emerging Sith? Is this truly what you see? In truth we have been at the Republics side since the emergence of this old threat. We chose to aid in our own ways, and may not have participated in every campaign, but some of our members fought on the front lines and others chose to aid in others ways. When certain individuals became those that sought out conflict, who were willing to throw their lives away to rush into combat and give no thoughts to the safety of the individuals they are sworn to protect, there were rifts created. The jedi have been called warmongers for going into combat, but now you presume to not see the point of our existence because we choose to not go to war directly. In some ways this isn't our battle to fight, and isn't our responsibility, though for the sake of the greater good, and for the ties we share as Jedi, we have aided and still do. In truth you wouldn't be able to find every reason you need today, as every member who has came from one organization to the next have reasons that span many. We are not the enemy, and i know you may not see us in that light. If anything were one of your biggest supporters."

Thought there was much she wanted to say, as ever since she left the Jedi order, and chose to not fight for the Republic under that banner, many have grown to see the Silver a jedi as pointless or maybe even a threat. Their values and ideals were similar to the Jedi Order. Why can't the two just coexist without issue. She turned to Iella as she may have had more words, and could have possibly answered the questions in the area where Sochi may not have touched in.

((Location changed to Cholganna. Forget any questions about how Zaren found them upon Voss, etc. Cholganna is directly above Voss on the galactic map.))

His head inclined in acknowledgement of [member="Sochi Ru"]'s words, and when she asked for his name, he realized that she hadn't been there when he had given it. "My name is Bishop." And that was it, he wasn't going to be giving anyone in the Silver Jedi anymore than that. Not because they were apart of the Silver Jedi, he had even given Sarge Potteiger his name as 'Bishop.' He just thought it was a better idea than giving his birth name. Besides, Bishop was a nickname that he had been accustomed to hearing for the last four years of his life.

He frowned within his helmet at her words explaining at least part of the reason her Order existed. It was clear the Togruta was passionate about her order, he would be too if they were speaking of the Jedi Order, at least he thought so, and he took a few moments to gather his thoughts. "I came here to understand, I have made no presumptions about your Silver Order. However, you'd claim that you'd help in your own ways, but they have been upon only a small scale, although your sacrifices have been large. You'd call yourself a Jedi, and then say this isn't your war to fight? Jedi protect civilians and citizens of any world from the Dark Side, or any with sinister intents. I did come to learn however, and I seek to understand the main reason why this Order was created. Not you listing what you are and not doing." There were some points that he had left out, but he'd touch upon them later if need be. Rifts were created because of Jedi who charged into combat? That's the role of a Jedi Guardian, to be the first into battle, but even so, he wouldn't believe that there were those who would throw themselves into battle without thinking of the consequences for those around them. He was certain they only did it, because they would be cutting to the chase and saving time, and doing something that you would actually excel at, rather than other things to protect the public.

Like evacuations.

Even those it wasn't Maya place there was those that was far wiser then her. Knowing why she followed some of the Master if it wasn't for them she wouldn't be well on her way in the order that she was now. Not having to change her personality but they had chosen in-brace her. Giving her the training she was seeking, to understand her loving and open personality. At time her own flirty does get a little will wild. It wasn't like they wasn't use to it. If anything it gave the order a fresh breath of air. In her training she had learn a lot. At the same time she has learn a lot. On the missions that [member="Xander Carrick"] to gather more information, also to aid in the fight of darkness. There was a lot of things that one could do to understand what one was up against. It don't do well if one don't know their foe.

Knowing that what every anyone spoke to him, would not matter he came here for his personal reason not to understand them. "I think we all do our part in darkness there is so much out there, where do we start head on, no its better to know your enemy inside out, and train those to stand firmly against it then to be turn at drop of the hat."
