I will find my Angel

Relina went in with her Sqaudron and found that lockdown procedures were beginning to be liffted. The damage sustained would be a bit pricy to repair, but the ship was still spaceworthy and operational. Suffice it to say, she wasn't happy with the outcome, despite it being a tactical victory. It had been thought that the pirate were to board the ship for some reason, but many off the ship's officers weren't so sure anymore that it was that simple.

Relina went down to C-Deck to borrow the conference room, using her comm to call Josh. "Joshua, you DID get on this ship safely, yes?" she asked of him. "I am heading down to the C-Deck conference room. I will need you there. It seems we have scared off our unwelcome guests." She'd open the accessway once the squad guarding it affirmed who she and the rest of the remaining Angels were. She'd need everyone flying with her to file the Squadron's report, even a guest.

Upon entering the room, however, she froze. Her eyes immediately went to Holland. Relina looked as if she had seen a ghost. In her own mind, she might as well have, considering she believed Angel Two to have been shot down with no ejection report being received. "Holland! You're alive! Thank Hera!" She said in accented Basic. "But how? I saw your fighter tumbling out of control. I received no report you had ejected."

"Thank her, Ducha Zhan." he replied, motioning to Quinn. "I ejected and tried to get back to this ship, but my comm system was damaged and so was my pod's engine. Were it not for her, I'd never have made it. She's being held here pending investigation into her presence... questioning, likely, as the boarding party found nothing to charge her with."

Relina nodded. She'd approach to hug him tightly. "I'm just glad you're alive." she said. When she let go of him, her gaze turned to Quinn. "And thank you for your part in saving him, Miss. Major Relina Zhan, Ducha of Gallinore." she said, extending her hand to her in greeting.

The rest of the events that had happened had been a blur, but Josh would return to his senses when he heard [member="Relina Zhan"] on the communicator. He would turn on his communicator again and speak. "I made it, Ducha. It's been a long ride" He remarked with a light chuckle. "I'll meet you there when I can. DragonsFlame, out."

He would make his way to the conference room to see the apparently dead Holland alive and well, despite his ship being shot down. He chuckled a little bit as he would let them have their celebration, before walking over. He would look curiously over at the newcomer, but smirked a bit eventually as he relaxed and looked over at Relina.

"Our enemies have flown the coop then?" He would inquire.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Quinn Colson nice to meet you." She says extending her hand and shaking Relina's. She looked at the lady with interest. "So what has happened?" She asks as she meets the gaze of Relina. "Are all of your men ok?" She asks worried about the men she had met. The young padawan felt small next to Relina.

"It would appear so." Relina replied, after activating the holocam at the centre of the conference room table. She would use it to log her verbal report. "I have never seen pirates so brave... or perhaps so stupid. They brazenly attacked an armed Military frigate despite support making the attempt suicidal. They blew off a docking hatch, apparently in the interest of boarding the ship for some unknown reason, but there are whispers that their actions afterward do not add up to such a goal. Rather, it looks more like an act of terrorism than an attempt at grand larceny." She began, looking to Quinn.

"In the process of defending the ship and our borders from these foreign aggressors, Commander Holland Roc of the 7th Division, 77th Tactical Fighter Wing, was shot down by a rather skilled enemy fighter pilot. He was rescued by another foreigner, one Miss Quinn Colson." she said further to the recording holocam, gesturing gently toward the young lady. "Miss Colson is present pending an investigation as to the reason for her presence. I recommend a token of our gratitude, however, for bravely rescuing one of our's. As for the enemy fighter in question, I pursued and fought him. I was unable to confirm the termination of the pilot, however, and his ultimate fate is unknown. The aggressors have withdrawn form our space upon the arrival of reinforcements from the Ouroboros. Finally, the origin, affiliations, and ultimate goal of these aggressors have yet to be ascertained."

She then looked to Josh. Perhaps the vocalisation of her report had answered Quinn's inquiry.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"So will I still be detained madam?" She asked though she would not mind if she had to stay. She felt like she could use the time to clear her mind. She looked over at Relina still nervous about what she would do about her ship.

Relina paused the holocam, since the rest of those involved would need to add to it later in turn. The report would go to Naval command later and forwarded to the Queen Mother. It would likely be filed away with countless other pirate patrol reports like it, but filed it must be.

"It is standard procedure. We tend to guard our borders fiercely. Outsiders, sans a formal invitation, tend to be treated with suspicion. That is the reason why you are so detained, Miss Colson. It boils down to national security." She answered. Relina's accent was subtly posher than Hollands was. She also carried herself in a distinctly dignified way.

"Tell me, if you would, why you appeared during a battle. Surely, you weren't flying a warship nor are you a Hapan subject, are you?" she asked.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"I was on a mission from the jedi council. To find a long lost academy and my hyperdrive malfunctioned leaving me in the middle of a battle field madam." She says looking Relina in the face but kind of backing down because of her small size and her somewhat fragile body

Relina herself wasn't that big. She was rather dainty and of about average size for a Human woman. Josh, on the other hand, was much larger by comparison. Seeing that she appeared nervous, Relina nodded in understanding but took a seat in the hopes that she might be found less intimidating. So far, Quinn has been co-operative with both the boarding party that brought her to the room and with Relina herself. She'd be civil in response.

"No doubt due to the obstructions of the Transitory Mists. The nebulosity that surrounds our territory and marks our borders is something we have used to our advantage for millennia. The Mists choke hyperspace, making the few known safe routes winding, narrow, and precarious. Navigating this part of space is dangerous and difficult and it's a miracle you're alive to tell about it." she said evenly. "We Hapans tend to keep to ourselves. We used to be much more isolationist once upon a time. Hell, there is a historical record of large ships belonging to the Galactic Empire about eight centuries ago that tried to invade our territory. Suffice it to say, while their ships outclassed ours at the time, they lost because they couldn't handle the Transitory Mists, nor did they know how to deal with us. By the time they got reinforcements in, few by few, the previous wave had either been torn to shreds or captured. We ended up with several new capital ships with interesting foreign technology, as a result."

Relina then paused a moment. "Forgive me, I did not mean to brag. I was simply wanting to highlight the danger you faced." she said. "And so, you come seeking an academy in the interests of the Jedi? I trust you mean the one on Shedu Maad?"

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes madam that is the one. And you were fine I did not mind" Quinn says noting that the woman isn't that much taller than her maybe 3 inches. But Quinn is used to people being bigger than her so she knows that being small can either be a blessing or a curse.

"Finding a long lost academy assigned to a Padawan? That's rather.... Odd" The Jedi would remark as he would walk forward, looking [member="Quinncolson"] over. The 6'3 Jedi Master was definitely a lot taller then Relina, but his curiousity meant he probably wasn't sitting anytime soon. "Tell me, which Jedi Order are you a part of, and who is your Master?" Josh would inquire, tilting his head.

"Because I've never seen, nor heard of a Quinncolson before. But forgive my manners. My name is Joshua DragonsFlame, Jedi Master. Just call me Josh, it's easier" He would remark. But it was clear he would prefer if his questions were answered. It was quite odd to find a Padawan out here...

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Just the jedi order and my master is [member="Nico Minuro Ike"]" She says barely budging her gaze

Relina was usually a little more formal with names. She tended to use honourifics until she got to know someone better. She also tended to use the full given name, if known. It was force of habit for her, but... she'd give it a try upon hearing Josh preferring the shortened version.

"Do you refer to the Jedi Order typically known as the one loyal to the Republic?" she asked of Quinn. "And forgive me, I don't know very much about the Jedi's internal politics or procedures, but do you have a Master here with you?"

She looked over to Josh with a hint of curiosity. This was more his arena, thus it was that she deferred to him on this matter. Incidentally, the two of them were meant to go the Shedu Maad themselves at some point. To her, this was an interesting coincidence.

 

[Josh Dragovalor]

The Jedi couldn't help but laugh a little. Another one associated with the Ikes... How did he know? There was something about her that conveyed that, he just.... Knew. Long before she had said it, he knew that the word "Ike" would come out of her mouth.

"I see, so she's a member of the Republic's Order as well, most likely" He spoke toward Relina. "Though I -am- curious as to why she would be sent here alone, without her Master here..."

[member="Relina Zhan"]

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes but my master is not here they say she is too well known as it would risk the security of the mission." She says

Relina blinked in response to this "Ike" person being too well known. "I have never heard of her. I have been in the Royal Navy since I graduated from Clavelle Academy of Military Science about 13 years ago." she commented with a slight shrug. "If she were an enemy of the state or something, I would think I should know, if not immediately, then after a time. We are fairly isolated out here, even with our borders not formally closed anymore."

She again glanced to Josh, a brow lofted. "Perhaps this Master Ike she refers to ought to be brought here, no? Perhaps it is best this one not be deported off on her own, despite her relatively safe arrival. I shall see what I can do in this regard."

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"She is pretty isolated and I meant to the sith in this part of the galaxy." She says as she looks towards Relina. She can see that Relina is at least partially believing her but as for her companion Quinn couldn't tell "So what exactly will happen to me?

[Josh Dragovalor]

Too well known in terms of the Sith? Yeesh, if that was a problem, he'd have Sith on his ass the moment that he set foot here. He had been a thorn in their side for years, even if he had been off the grid for a good while. But he could sense the light side in the Padawan, it was hard to think she might be lying, as unlikely as her story may be. He was pretty sure she was on their side, anyway.

"Well, as her Master doesn't seem to be coming, what we do with her defers to you, Relina" Josh would remark. "We can take her with us... Or we can send her back to the Temple for her safety. You're the Ducha here, I'm leaving it to you" He would add.

Relina sighed and thought about it for a moment. "very well... I will volunteer to take care of her on Gallinore until her Master comes, but I will need to sign off on this matter and obtain clearance." she said and then looked to Quinn. "You'd become my responsibility if my request clears. So, I will ask that you learn as much of our culture and ways as you can and stay out of trouble. Anything you say or do will reflect upon me and my House." she said evenly.

It seemed she was becoming a magnet for Jedi lately. She would silently size the girl up a bit, thinking of what to do with her during that time. She then looked to the holocam and pursed her lips. "And we have held the rest of my team up long enough, I think. They have their own reports to file and the compiled entries need to be forwarded to Command and Hapes Prime." she said.

 

[Eli-Mae Forrest]

"Yes ma'am. What will become of my ship?" She asks extremely happy about getting to stay and hoping for a chance to be Relina's handmaiden. She looks up and takes off her beanie.

It looked like she'd be going with them then. He would nod in return. If that were her decision, then he would accept it. He just hoped that the Padawan wouldn't cause any trouble. He'd caused enough as is, though he had repaid his fare by being the reason Relina was still alive today. Though his memory of the last battle was a little bit... Fuzzy, he would admit.

"What next then? Do we head to Gallinore, or do you have another deal in mind?" He would inquire toward the Ducha.
