She wa slooking at it and here as she stood around prepared for any of it with a moment on her face now. The probes and everything that they had going on were relaying information to her about the problems and the potential threats for now. "Be careful." She said it while looking at the ones they could find and concentrating on the force energies around them so that they could head down and be prepared to fight. She didn't want to just pick a fight but she could handle the situation before they were going through it now. Leading the way and moving in carefully until the threats revealed themselves and came after them. She wasn't looking to cause an incident in case of the rare chance... they were just there doing nothing wrong and playing dress up or something.... rare but she knew that things like that could happen.

 

[Selena Drayven]

I had the feeling of being watched as my Master warned about being careful. Having pulled my helmet on before we'd entered the ruins I'd also enabled my HUD to track threats. Anything that wasn't friendly would be tagged and put up on the HUD in my helmet. Just then I got a notification of four different threats, drones and they weren't friendly. Electro shockers, stun darts and more. The arrow I'd had nocked I drew back, held, and fired clean through the first drone. Smoothly I drew another arrow and fired it through the second drone before drawing my Force imbued blade and brought it in a smooth arc up through the third. I moved into a turn and bisected the last drone before cutting up through it slicing it into four different pieces.

Turning towards my Master I said "Master we're not alone here and whoever is down there doesn't seem particularly interested in being peaceful. I suggest we make haste to get what information we can here."

Looking at them with a nod of her head to her padawan while she was movin now. Allowing the force to guide her when the saber slipped towards her hands now until she was moving towards one fothe drones that were in coming to them. The jedi knight allowed her body to react, her lessons with the saber until she slashed to get one fo the drones then moved up towards the rest. She was allowing many of the force energies to go around herself and reach out with them for her padawan so that they would be able to move and meld together more to try and duel and work as a unit. She knew how to do it, her former master had done it with her and they should be able to do it now with minimal effort.

I felt the currents of The Force emanating from my Master and as I finished up with the probes I melded into the currents of The Force alongside her. Then I felt the micro-tremors of the ground and rolled into the entrance of the ruins just as several micro-turrets began popping out of the ground. Looking towards my Master I yelled "Master, turrets!" Nocking another arrow I pulled the drawstring back and loosed the arrow towards the turrets coming up by my Master. I watched as the arrow I'd fired sailed through the air cleanly into the barrel of turret before detonating an ion charge disabling it and another close by.

It occurred to me that the probe droids were sent out to herd us towards the turrets, and now the turrets were forcing us to move into the underground sections of the ruins. We were being guided into the ruins and likely towards the labs. As I finished that thought another volley of blasterfire hit the walls near where I was taking cover throwing sharp bits of rock into my cheek. We were definitely be guided to head into the underground sections of the ruins and I had a bad feeling about why...

She was moving quicklu allowing the force to guide her as the saber came out from her belt with the sound of the turrets. The snap hiss of the blade activating before she adjusted the small stud knob as the intensity of the blade went up from the low sitting to slice through and the blade ot become a little larger. She was moving and deflecting the shots here while her eyes were flicking around. She was following with her attention here so that they would be able to move around here. She was being herded but they were also being able to move around as she deflected a shot up into one fo the drones to knock it down. "Keep moving and allowing yourself to get caught." She was letting the force to guide her before she kicked off a wall to slash a turret looking over at her.

 

[Selena Drayven]

Taking heed of what my Master said I began moving again and nocked another arrow before channeling The Force and leaping into the air. Turning in the air I fired another arrow clean through a turret before nocking another arrow and firing it off into one of the last turrets. Holstering my bow midair I drew my Force imbued sword and as I landed I went into a roll slashing through the base of the second to last turret. Glancing up I saw the last turret priming to fire at me and just as it began to I dashed forward cutting through the base of the final turret and rolled off into cover as it exploded.

Looking at my Master I said "Master, I think maybe we should move into the ruins and get whatever info we can before more security measures go into effect..."

She was looking at everything around them and there was a lot more then they would be able to handle out in the open. As dangerous as it was they needed the cover and would be able to move better in it then out of it. So she gave a quick nod of her head to start heading in. "It is dangerous and could be a trap but sticking around out here we don't have the cover that we are going to need to move around. Just be careful padawan." She was looking at it and rotated the saber in her hands to deflect a shot back before going towards the entryway into the ruins putting one of the small hardlight projectors there to turn it on and make a small wall that could function as a barricade.

 

[Selena Drayven]

Nodding I said "aye Master no safer or more dangerous place to be than in the nest itself." Looking down at my right hand I triggered the lights in my suit that helped illuminate the darkness of the ruins. Keeping my Force-imbued blade ready I began walking the halls towards the sound of machinery. I had a feeling that I'd be making my way towards labs soon and I hoped that we'd be able to gather information from these ruins before we ended up being blasted at....

She wa slooking and nodding with her padawan in agreement for the work that they were going to have to do. With the force around her as she was heading off towards the sections of it. Saber at the ready and running around until she moved reaching out with the force energie through them, she could sense much more around them before her attention went to her padawan and there was the sound of machinery. With interest, with danger, with some parts that would be set up until she prepared herself with a smaller grin for now. "We should be able to do this, we just need to get through and be careful. Keep your senses opened and your eyes peeled."

 

[Selena Drayven]

Taking her words into mind I began feeling the presence of something with a strong Force signature. It was off in the direction of the humming machinery but I could feel that it was crudely hidden. Holding my Force-imbued blade in a loose attack guard I began heading towards the sounds of the machinery. As I turned a corner I began hearing a hissing sound in my mind, looking towards the machinery I heard it again. "Ssssselena, Ssssselena...Come closssser." I knew it wasn't my Master speaking, this voice was cold, wet, and sinister. But for some reason I couldn't stop my feet from moving.

As I headed up towards the machinery from what I now saw was a lab of some type. As I approached a desk by some running machinery I heard a latch unlock and a small pedestal rose from the ground holding a book. A journal of some type no doubt, as my fingers closed around it and lifted it free from the pedestal the pedastal opened up revealing what looked to be a set of very old jewelry that seemed to glow with a pulsing light. Shifting from pink, to, orange, then a fiery red hue. "Ssssselena, you know you find her attractive. Your Masssster, Ssshe is quite Sssssstunning. Itssss unfortunate that you're ssssimply not much to ssspeak of as pupilsss go." It was the jewelry, it had to be. The voice while unsettling wasn't wrong about how I saw her, my Master was quite beautiful and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in her on more than a Master and Apprentice level. It also wasn't wrong in how I thought of myself, nothing too spectacular. I did question why she'd chosen me...

I turned to look for her but the lab seemed to be black as pitch. "Sssselena! Don't ignore usssss! Take ussssss with you....." I knew that was a horrible idea but I couldn't move my feet away from the pedestal. I began looking around wildly for her. "Master?! Help me, I can't move!" I realized that this was probably part of a trap and I was calling her towards it. I hated myself for that, but I couldn't move....

Focusing and allowing the force itself to channel throughout her body when she was following. Her padawan was going towards something and she could feel it om the foprce. before she was following with the saber in her hand, the sigil on her neck attached to the smokestone showing everything that she needed to work with and protect her mind from the dangerous influences of the others here. Before she followed through though she could sense comething up ahead with the force. Her eyes flicking back then forward, then up and she found it here. Where she needed to look for her padawan who was in trouble when she moved her cloak to the sides revealing the bodysuit and the synthweave that glowed with the lightside of the force. Her own mental defenses to protect from it until she moved forward pushing the force from her hand towards the being and she sent a burst of force energy to disrupt her so that Selena could get free and move around.

 

[Selena Drayven]

Jerking back to my senses I looked around and just as I came to my senses I heard that awful voice again. "Foolssss!!! You will regret denying usssss!!!!" I had enough time to look around and see my Master before there was a sharp pinch against my neck. Reaching up to my neck I felt the end of a small dart, pulling it free I began to have my vision start blurring. "Master, I....I can't see." Then there was agonizing pain as I began being able to see again but there were dark figures around me. I knew on some level I'd been poisoned now but with everything going on I also knew I wasn't in any shape to help myself. Hopefully my Master would be able to help me out of this situation I'd gotten myself into...

She was listenign and allowing the force energies there to come out... something was going on and she could feel it in the force for a brief moment herself until she dodged with the force. Letting the small sense of danger and alertness coming to her mind a moment later. There was a small look though as she could feel something from her padawan akin o panic but she wasn't certain about all of it. She was moving now as her padawan was speaking with the jedi knight allowing herself to go and work to find her. "Stay there and be careful with it. Let the force flow through you and clear your head."

 

[Selena Drayven]

I heard my Masters voice and began breathing in and then out once again. Flicking my eyes back open I still couldn't see and rising back to my feet I looked towards my Master and seeing her through The Force I doubled back over in sheer agony. The poison had affected me worse than I'd thought and now I collapsed. Even seeing my Master through The Force now caused me agony and my vision was darkening. Calling out again I said "Master....poisoned... using The Force hurts Master." Listening I began crawling towards where my Master had been. Then I curled in agonizing pain after trying to use The Force to clear the poison from my system... Gasping in pain I reached out with my hand towards my Master.

Poison that caused pain when you tried to use the force... well she was thinking of different sith poisons. There were a couple like that but they were not used nowadays by many. you needed to be careful with it as it also amplified the darksides influence within you and the jediu knight was overthinking this in some cases as she moved striding faster and with more purpose putting the force into her limbs. To get in there and find her padawan so that she would be able to really find and help her. Hand going to the medical kit that she had within her small field kit. Getting crackens kit out and ready from her hip under the cloak was easy enough and it came with everything a jedi needed in the field. THey would just have to get some of the other things for themselves. "I'll be there soon, focus as much as you cana nd try to purge the poison from your body."

 

[Selena Drayven]

As my Master spoke and told me to try and focus as much as I could I felt slightly reassured. I may have been mistaken but I could've sworn I heard concern in her voice. Smiling gently at the thought of that I tried relaxing to purge the poison from my body as my Master had instructed. As I focused and relaxed thinking about her and her concern for my safety I began to feel cold. "Noooooooo!!!!!! You cannot have her Jedi witch!!!!! Your padawan isssss oursssss now!!!!!" Then immense pain wracked my body as if I'd been set ablaze.

Screaming in pain I began writhing on the floor in agony while remembering something my sister had said long ago. "I must not fear, fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear, it will pass over and through me." As I mentally recited I felt a moment of relief then once more agony. "When my fear is gone there will be nothing, only I will be here." Sighing with relief I felt the poison begin to wane and my connection to The Force begin to be restored. I felt exhausted and tried moving my legs. Nothing, but that was....I couldn't be paralyzed could I? Looking inward through The Force I realized that I was paralyzed from the waist down but that it wouldn't be permanent. Sighing in relief, I looked around for my Master.

I wouldn't be paralyzed permanently, but there was no way in hell I'd be walking out of here on my own either. Whether I wanted her to or not my Master would be forced to carry me out in her arms. Sighing I accepted this and realized that while I didn't want to be a burden to her I'd have to rely on her to even get back to the ship. She'd likely have to strap me to the bike or her and she'd have to drive us back. Osik, first mission and I'd royally screwed up. As I couldn't move anything below the waist for now I simply drew my bow and nocking an arrow I endeavored to give my Master cover fire if need be while she extracted me from the mess I'd gotten myself into...

She was moving and hearing it, feeling it in the force before she moved off a little ways and provided a couple of the things before her hand was moving. The glove she was wearing covered with metal bands she had brought out from her thigh pack and equipment. The Nameless one wasn't without the tricks that a jedi needed, something that could function and provide a whole new level of control for the jedi before she was letting the solari and synthweave of the bands be powered by the lightside of the force and project a force barrier in a small dome around them. She could feel an see her padawan while staying there, letting more of the force even out within herself when she felt the calmness of the pontite in the synthweave that made it so they wouldn't get riled up if used correctly. She was holding another ready to be used in her free hand instead of her saber where they could show it off. The warmth of the healing crystal.

 

[Selena Drayven]

​I watched as my Master made her way into the chamber. She looked...beautiful but in a predatory animal kind of way. Shaking my head I did my best to crawl towards her on my elbows but finally I just laid there as she approached. Suddenly I felt warm....Mmmmm it felt nice. Looking up I saw my Master holding what looked to be a healing crystal near me and I blushed bright pink. I thought about what that horrid jewelry had said that I found her stunning...most everything else it'd said was complete nonsense but that...that was true I did find her attractive.

Hell I'd even flirted with her on the way here, going out of my way to be as unrestrained as I could. Sighing I looked at her and continued to have my cheeks flushed bright pink. I kept my thoughts to myself but I knew the odds were that she'd be playing doctor with me until we reached Voss again. I wasn't used to being helpless but I had to say that it'd be nice to have someone care for me for awhile. I hoped we'd be getting out of this wretched temple soon I'd already had far too much of this place and I longed for my bed.

She moved, fdoing her best and being as careful as possible for the moment. Before standing there looking over at her padawan when she brought her eyes up with a focus and determination. It wasn't anger or hatred it was resolve. The fastest way to lose control was to give into emotion and that wasn't the issue but you couldn't be distracted before she was moving and channeling the force throughout her body. To let more of the energies, to let more of the calmness and power escape throughout her body and reach her padawan once she crouched down enough to be over her with a bow of her head. "Here we go." She was focusing the energies through the crystal so that she could bring it within a hairsbreadth of her padawan to not let any of the energies escape. "We'll figure out how to get out of here but first need to get you feeling better." She focused the force energies and her other hand was makig the barrier with a nod of her head.

 

[Selena Drayven]

Embracing the warm feel of the healing crystal my Master placed a hand of my midsection. Flushing a furious shade of pink to match her gorgeous skin I breathed in and watched as she made what appeared to be a bubble of Force energy protecting us both. Leaning into her hand I felt her hand more firmly against my toned tummy then I felt....energized, or at least able to move. Rolling I reached out my hand for her to grab and pull me up. I'd be able to drive us back to the ship but once there I'd likely pass out. "Master.....I'm good to go at least until the hangar bay of the ship. I can drive but outside of that I can't focus much on defending you, let alone myself....I'm sorry Master. Can we please get out of here? Around those cursed objects I'm not going to be any help."

I tried sheathing my sword and ended up dropping it twice before I finally slid it home in its sheathe, Grabbing my bow I locked the arrows in the quiver and the bow on my right hip after again dropping it twice. I began hobbling back down the halls with my Master behind me and hoped my having stumbled into a trap wouldn't endanger her any further than I already had...
