Exploring

[Junko Ike]

Junko was looking at many of the things they had here, she knew the dangers but she had hired someone she knew quite well. From her more recent jobs and the one who had helped her get her ship back with a smile on her face. Presenting the challenge here as they were searching for what they were working on. She was looking at the small section of the planet that they were searching for. There wasn't much but the Ho'Din had created it here on the planet and through a little research as well as the dangers of the forest she had managedd to find well news of what it was. A small place that wasn't easy to find somewhere on the world where the families of jedi, their children, their loved ones were hidden away. On some planets this had been done and on some areas this had been a case but Junko knew that a superweapon had been made with the direct purpose of slagging a planet just to get the location on another world. IF you can't find it or if they could it was made to capture and brainwash them. So she sent out the message and her ship was awaiting the arrival of [member="Kat'Lariah Syphex"]

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat'lariah had been mildly surprised to receive a message from her old employer. However, it was a pleasant surprise. Unlike most of her clients, she trusted [member="Junko Ike"]. The woman had proved that she was a woman of her word and had the Bounty Hunter's back if she needed it. Not much more could ever be asked. So, when the message had been received, the flame-haired woman set off to meet the Princess at their designated meeting point.

The Howling Dark dropped out of hyperspace near the designated co-ordinates. The massive Bone-Shatter Frigate drifted quietly as the Bounty Hunter surveyed what was around her and whether or not Ike had arrived yet.

She was glad when she was arriving. Junko had her ship and it was a sight to behold but beyond that as she was prepared to show more for all of them she wanted to look at it. Wanted to really get a chance to search the planet when she was wearing her new princess robes with the ornate solari crystal make up, the hair pece with jewels she had for herself. "welcome." junko said it as she was indicating where they could go and meet. What was well one of her places, a massive palace and the landing pad before she smiled. "It is good to see that you are well Kat'lariah." A small smile on her face and her ship was coming in proper to positon itself like a smaller temple higher on an area of the mountain itself.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Same to you Princess." the woman said, speaking into the holocommunicator as she left the ship to her first mate, making her way to a smaller shuttle. "I'll planetside soon. Where do you want me to meet you?" she asked, the turbolift opening to the brightly lit hanger, a few small ships sitting silently, awaiting the day they'll be needed.

"At the palace." Junko was looking at it and she made sure she looked well, that she looked proper. Last time they had spent a good amount of time in close quarters and she had worked on things. Making food and showing that while she was spoiled, a brat, self centered but she also understood the need to be self aware of it. She was leaving many of the places so that the woman could come and meet her before they began to go off and search for this lost village that the jedi had created long ago. Seeing the dangerous parts of it all.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Copy that, see you soon Princess." and with that the blue, translucent image of [member="Junko Ike"] blinked out of existence. Kat piloted the shuttle carefully out of the hanger of the Dark and gunned the thrusters, pivoting the ship on to a course with the planet below her.

Soon enough, the Bounty Hunter found herself being guided into a landing pad by two smaller fighters. Not that they were any cause for concern. They'd simply requested the woman follow them to a pad, and so she did. The shuttle's hydraulic landing gear hissed as she touched down on the planet, the alien world no different than any other she'd visited before.

The royal palace was large, built into the side of a mountain and the landing pad that were for private use the people used and were able to be guided into.... Were off to the side near the large palace ship. Junko's ship that Kat had helped her retrieve and defend the planet with were were gleaming and cleaned by the droids so that it was always shiny.. The pathway leading to the palace itself had a waterfall and small pool of fish that was above it. Warmed in the winter so it didn't ice over with the water cascading down and the palace servants milling around in the finest outfits they could have. Leading the way into the large open throne room where Junko was sitting for display purposes on the throne that was three times her size and she looked presentable the time before speaking. "YOu look well, I hope everything has been treating you well."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

Kat looked around in amazement as she was guided to the throne room of the palace. She remembered the Princess had a flare for opulence, but this was just awe-inducing!

"You seem to be doing better than well!" the Bounty hunter exclaimed, spinning on her heels to take in everything around herself. Her usual hard self dropped away in this instance. She'd never seen this kind of wealth before, not even on Junko's ship.

"es, when we last met this was still under construction and being worked on but now." She stood up in the large seat on the dias and was walking down the steps before she came down and spread her arms out with a look on her face. "Now though it is finished and with my ship the palace is massive." She was liking it and there was a lot more that they were going to be able to work on. "THough come along." She was leading the way towards the garden outside of her room that was filled with trees, places where they could all work. She was looking at many of the things themselves over what they were wanting to work with. Junko looked at some of the statues there. "Though I contacted you to hire you for another job. There is a lost village that the Ho'Din jedi created and we have been looking to find it. I need someone who is better at combat and there is a lot more I can offer you. Credits and supplies."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

The red-headed bounty hunter walked beside [member="Junko Ike"], listening to what she had to say. "You'll be coming along again then?" she asked, not a hint of annoyance in her voice. She knew that the Jedi could handle herself well enough. Unlike some, the Princess could hold her own, and would likely prove to be a help rather than a hinderance. Kat wasn't concerned about payment either. One could tell just by looking around that the woman had enough credits to retire and then some.

"yes that is the plan. If we can find this lost village then I would want to be there to discover them." She was pointing out all of the areas and out here in the garden she had a chance to look at some of the nice things. The different garden statues were a number of people like Joza and Kyra who were there in the posed forms. "There is another thing, it would be lovely if you would pose and add your beautiful to this. I have a great deal of enjoyment for this, I want to get the prettiest women in my garden." it was a request but well it could pay well for anyone who would like to be here. Junko's friends could be immortalized in hijarna stone itself as she got the large stone slab with a map.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"A big giant statue of myself? How could I ever say no?" the Bounty Hunter said. She was flattered. In truth, she tended to find giant statues to be the signs of a tyrannical despot, having grown up in Sith space, where the giant statues were abundant, but in this case, she'd make an exception. Besides, the Princess had called her beautiful.

"well not that big." She looked at it with a look on her face. "Just more your own size and get to pose." She was looking at it while offering the small look that could come with it. The one for Joza where she was posing and Kyra posing. Just there around the trees and small section of pool on the opposite side of the bridge that went over dividing the pond and the pool. Junko was walking and they could get her with a biometric camera and hardlight model that would be able to pose around. The slab of stone through was showing the tunnels and the area as she spoke. "And this though is the map we have to use, it is old... a few thousand years ago and that is the problem. Things change, landmarks can shift, names are lost. Searching through the tunnels here on the world can be dangerous but it is mostly because you risk getting lost."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Any chance of cave ins?" asked the Bounty Hunter, noting the tunnels. Stormtroopers, gangs, even the occasional Forcer, Kat could handle all of those. But forces of nature? A tunnel collapse? That was just a little beyond her abilities to take care of. There'd have to be some sort of contingincies.

"Possibly, these tunnels have been up for nearly three hundred thousand years and barely show signs of age but you can never discount the risk." Just because something could work over and over dind't mean that the one day you need it to work it isn't going to just break to spite you. She was showing some more parts. "We have an easy entrance here at the base of the mountain and these tunnels run across the entire planet itself. The original species who made them created all of their things to last longer then they ever could."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"The entire karking planet?!" the Bounty Hunter exclaimed! The feat that the tunnels had lasted this long, on its own was amazing. But the fact that they spanned the whole planet? This whole trip had amazed Kat, and they hadn't even gotten started yet..."How the hell did they do that?" she wondered aloud. She was a little skeptical of whether or not they really did span the planet. A city or two? That she could believe. But the planet?!

"The specie that inhabited this planet long ago was very advanced, more so then most of the galaxy is now. Their ships might be outdated but their architecture is far superior and they made it so their honeycomb of roads and tunnels that they could travel with allowed them to have a normal looking surface." She was leading the way more for her to look out upon the planet with a nod of her head. "It is a planet of grand adventure that we can work with here."

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Sounds fun to me. Any dangerous artifacts or secrets potentially hidden down there? I don't wanna wake up some crazy Force spirit bent on destroying the galaxy...that'd be bad for my rep." The Bounty Hunter followed the Princess closely, rarely more than a half step behind her. She was beginning to look forward to exploring the planet. It had a lot of promise by way of things to do.

"Not that I know of, we have been looking at it and the real work is on a jedi location. They created it soetime a few thousand years ago to be something big and secret. No spirits but it was made to protect things down there." She didn't know where it was exactly or what there yes but a chance to discover the jedi location was one that they couldn't just pass up on.

 

[Kat'Lariah Syphex]

"Jedi. No spirits. Potential artifacts...sounds like a good deal." Kat nodded to herself as she spoke, mentally imagining their pitential discoveries. She didn't know a great deal about what the Jedi were like before the Dark Times. Only that they'd once been even more powerful than they were now. And certainly more unified. It'd be interesting to see the ancient structures hidden beneath their feet.
