Mission Jedi Mission: Hell's Belle's

[Matsu Ike]

THe information and request had come through older channels. Matsu had her silver jedi expanding.. they were reaching places in the universe and beyond Matsu had been more surprised as last information had the world embroiled in its own wars among each other. THey had even pulled out of the Republic senate at the time. It was... different compared to others and initial reports were something very different So she had sent out a request for some jedi to be able to come and dispatched the new model Blockade Runner. It would be able to pick them up quickly enough and bring them. The jedi master there on the bridge as the mission table was glowing softly.... the displays showing hardlight setups to show them the world. Matsu was going over it as the purple haired biot remained by her offering a small look but was relaying the information that the drones they had sent were bringing in.

"Are you certain?" The petite master said it while she stood there in the silver robes, black hair gleaming as it was pulled back. Her hand coming out as she moved the hardlight around and checked over it. "Yes master Ike, we have checked the information twice. There are two forces stationed in the location and it seems to alternate between them fighting or they are sullen and avoiding each other." SHe gave a nod of her head and it matched with what they had been told... the two forces wanted their help. "Have we been able to get any information about the ones we are supposed to meet?" The biot stood there as she seemed to be accessing information. "A little, it seems most of the planetary forces are divided as explained but the military is in a fractured state. The walkers, ships and vehicles are with on whom controls this region."

Her hand came out indicating it. "It seems to be one of the larger sources for fuel and is protected... While another has fighters whom are considered some of the strongest able to hold their own and led by the planets older general. The last seems to have numbers that swell their ranks and a larger amount of force users. The generals of the previous ruler before he was dethroned have flocked to the youngest of the children... all in the information they sent but we are not seeing an initial place to start. Resources on the world are strained as they fight each other. THis alliance from what we can tell will mostly be less a victor then maybe keep them from killing everyone." She said it as Matsu was checking on it so that they could try and have the most recent intel for the jedi who would be here.

I don’t have time for this.

Connel was ridiculously busy, not to mention a bit unstable right now. He was absolutely no danger to those around him, but Vanagor was experiencing a life issue he wanted nothing of. This was not the place for that and thus he had to practice self control. So this was not the best place to be.

However

It was Master Ike. He had known the woman all of his life, and owed much of who he was (literally) to her. She was one of a handful of sentients not related to him who just had to call and he would come, without question. What was the mission? Didn’t know, didn’t care, he was here, and was going nowhere until it was finished.

He couldn’t be on Kashyykk.

He would[/B be here.

NPCs free to use. Taresa Kae in full Echani mode as usual

A sleek silver shuttle had dropped Taiden and Taresa Kae , each with two honor guards. The Keth and Kae houses were still working toward the common good of restoring their people since the Mandalorians glassed Eshan. His work had kept him overly busy, but that was nothing new! It was a welcome break to be assigned a different sort of mission.

The half-dozen white and silver-clad Echani Jedi were pristine and spotless as ever, with sabers, swords, and other weapons fit for the Echani fighting styles and disciplines. Taiden's visor was clipped to his belt, with a thin line of barely noticeable armor beneath their flowing robes. All had a small shield generator device attached. Nothing looked out of place; each of them perfectly represented a traditional Echani, down to the smallest detail in the Force. Noble, you might call it—perhaps part of what was required to speak to nobility.

Proceeding down the ship's hallways, the six pairs of footsteps kept precise time in sync. Taiden and those with him greeted people with half-measured bows to anyone they met, Connel Vanagor and others, his posture alert, his body language observant. He asked where Master Ike was located and headed straight there. It wouldn't be long before she saw his familiar face arrive nearby, almost smiling, walking to the table with purpose. His body language, though, was very happy—a huge amount of respect, reverence, for the Master and her work—often displayed on their travels together.

"Master Ike." He gave a deep bow, eyes closed, holding for longer than normal. "It is an honor to see you again."

She might recognize Taresa Kae as well, as they had worked together very briefly, her silver eyes and long white hair the same as before. The Kethborn had received a datapad en route and was reading it over. Nobles, generals, "strained resources always make peace fragile, but it is perhaps a possible angle to pursue," a double-edged sword in any negotiation, but then, many things often were.

 

[Garric Wrennar]

Garric had just been dropped off on the ship by a shuttle. He was in his standard kimono, but wore his jedi robe over it. Tucked to his belt and slightly hidden by his robe was his scabbard and lightsaber hilt. When he arrived, he noted the man in all black and offered him a bow with a small smile on his face. He noted that he seemed to be the one called Connel Vanagor , from the image he was given so he would know who to look out for.

He proceeded through the ship, being directed towards where the others of the group he was told about would be located. Eventually he came across a group of individuals who certainly stood out to him. He recognised two of them, those being Taiden Keth and Matsu Ike .

He approached the two and offered a bow to the both of them but remained quiet. He only offered a bow to show his arrival, but didn't wish to interrupt their conversation.

[Jasper Candos]

He sat cross-legged in deep meditation near the shuttle, hoping that the force could guide him into deciding on the dilemma plaguing his mind. Jasper wondered what would have happened if he had gotten involved, taking into all the possible outcomes from him partaking in this situation. He didn't know if his training in the force would be enough for him to survive if he were to engage in combat but he knew he wasn't going to be able to find out just by staying at the temple. The breathing techniques that he learned helped him channel the force through him and his eyes twitched showing those around him signs of life. His hands gripped his knees while in different time intervals and it stayed that way until his eyes opened up instantly.

Getting up from his position, an idea formed in his mind that would help him make a decision. Walking into the shuttle he looked for Matsu Ike to talk to her. The force assisted him in locating her quickly and took notice of the conversation she was in. He felt a sense of unease as he looked over to the other people inside the area that he was in. He decided to wait until he found the opportunity to speak with her presented itself.

The group that had come was welcomed... she took a moment to see if anyone else was going to come and bowed in greeting. "Welcome." She said it while standing there for the moment. The ship able to hold their shuttles. "About fourteen hours ago the jedi received a message on an old Republic channel. It was marked priority intervention and so initial contact scout drones were sent to the planet. Using the information we were givenall we know is there is one of the older republioc worlds that has been embroiled in civil war for the better part of thirty years." She said it and let them be around and look at some of the scarce information they had.

"We can't be entirely certain how much of the world itself has changed... initial scout reports confirm much of the information and we are being asked to help make a treaty between two of the three major groups there... likely to be united against the third which is the dangerous part. We'd be helping with the outcome and deaths... but not intervening means the fighting will continue and all of them could perish instead of a third." She was looking at some of them and it. "Not the ideal jedi negotiations and not ideal for other parts. All of the armies could be a powder keg and primed to fight at any time... but we need to recon and learn what we can about this third faction they are uniting against."

Geez, more and more fighting.

He offered more of a “head bob” than actual “bows” to anyone as Connel was busy keeping limber in a corner. He was not trying to be anti-social or anything, but he had his gear on, and that usually meant that it was time to “work”. When the talk of the planetary issues and the civil war was afoot, Connel was really not in the mood to commit, but there was something about this story that just kept him from doing so.

There was a need for “recon” and from the looks of everyone here, Connel was probably best suited for that, no disrespect to the others, but it was his capabilities that would be put to the best use here.

I’ll handle, or at least be involved with that.

Garric Wrenna and Jasper Candos were greeted with the same measured respect—polite bows and observant gazes reading body language. Jasper carried a surface unease, while Garric held a quiet reserve. Kei would have engaged them all in conversation, Glade might have told a story, and Sera would have offered almost ethereal, prophetic wisdom. But Taiden preferred… questions.

Thirty or forty years. "We could search more on the individuals or groups involved. Motivations beyond the obvious—things, people that might be reasoned with or negotiated?" Did a hidden tragedy spark the war or just the obvious? Such wounds might leave room to heal, thirty-year-old grudges could have softened with time or hardened further, and be a point to raise.

Stepping lightly toward the mission table, the Echani accessed one of the hardlight consoles with a graceful sweep of his hand. "Are there other voices of reason among them we might appeal to—popular figures, or those who carry weight?" Beyond those bent on fighting, with their resources running low.

A quiet offer of recon cut through the discussion. Taiden half-bowed his head in acknowledgment to Connel Vanagor "It would be good to know if there are still those that see what they are doing to themselves." Where they were or their condition, information from planetside might offer better insight.

It was often the powerful who were quick to war, but those who did the fighting rarely had the same taste for dying in it. Only zealots and the broken sought such ends.

She listened to a few things and Taiden asked a question. "We do not know, that is what the recon will be for.. the more information we can get without bias or coloring from any side the better it will be to make a decision." She said it as the ship was coming down towards a massive sight.... a large citadel on a mountain surrounded by barren sands. Tents forming a city as differing flags were on either side. The remnants of a building housing the landing pad as the ship came in and The external camera showed various people standing around. Two clear sides though when Matsu was moving with a small clap of her hands. "Now, present the best appearance and observe everything."

She said it as the doors revealing with a slender, girlish figure, similar in every detail to a human women... Her face was oval and beautiful in the extreme, her every feature was finely chiseled and exquisite, her eyes large and lustrous and her head surmounted by a mass of coal black, waving hair, caught loosely into a strange yet becoming coiffure. Her skin was of a light golden copper color, against which the crimson glow of the sun illuminated her cheeks and the ruby of her beautifully molded lips shone with a strangely enhancing effect. She was as destitute of clothes as the others who accompanied her; indeed, save for her highly wrought ornaments she was entirely naked, with the ornaments covering her up.

Matsu raised an eyebrow but remained quiet as the other who stood opposite had her men step aside. She turned toward the jedi, her chest heaving, her eyes flashing. She was slender, yet formed like a warrior: at once lithe and voluptuous. Her only garment was a broad silken girdle with sheath for a blade. Her white ivory limbs her rich black hair, black as night, fell in rippling burnished clusters down her supple back. The jedi master was looking at them and spoke with a bow as one other came forward. "I think we aare overdressed." She said it and the short man spoke walking there and his face was a patchwork... varying colors, his outfit much the same.

"No... well maybe who knows. It is customary for warriors when meeting in peacefcul talks to appear without armor or weapons... all is bared as it were." He moved more like a jester around them and seemed to draw sneers. "I am haxon, alas messenger to the late emperor, father of the trinity." There was movement and a robed figure caame forward grabbing him. "You insult our lady." Matsu was listening and taking in a few things quickly... well this was certainly something but she moved forward. "I am sure his insult was not meant, we are here to help and one who is neutral in this would help us get information."

Hearing everything about what was going on over the land of this planet that they were approaching, Connel shed the majority of his gear. Only keeping his sabers and the combat shield to cover them. The web gear, the throwing knives, the lightblaster, the gauntlets, they were all left in a storage container. He still had an intimidating appearance, but that was more for “security” than anything.

He didn’t appear so, but he could still be compassionate. Time to try and prove that.

The woman who met with them was admittedly highly distracting, but he could not say or do anything because it was probably a culture for them, besides, he was here to work. (Which is why the mask was hanging like a hood over the back of his neck, he could not put it on right now because it wasn’t that kind of “work”).

The hardest thing to do was, and always is “nothing” when the fool was accosted, but he was not here to act until it was necessary.He focused on the mission, reminding himself that professionalism was paramount. Connel maintained his composure, ready to act swiftly if the situation demanded it. His restraint now would ensure the success of their objective later.

Composure over Compulsion.

Readying himself for anything, he centered himself in the force. It was not physical beauty that drew his eye, but movement—poise, balance, the language of presence.

Around them Taiden observed the unfolding tension, taking in both the customs and the significance of their moment. "Indeed. I shall take your lead and respect your traditions," he offered, ever the traditionalist himself. Without hesitation, he moved with precision, bowing abruptly with a click of his heels—a deliberate interruption meant to shift the focus from each other to the Jedi.

In full view of all, he lowered his lightsaber and the Keth family sword in a slow gesture, ensuring it was seen to be recognized. A sign of trust and respect. At least it offered something else to think about, other than each other.

"Now, I walk as you do. Forgive my ignorance," he said, choosing his words with careful diplomacy, compensating for his natural lack of social intelligence with a usual practised courtesy. "I am certain before this matter is done, we will have been insulted many times, and so we must be wise and generous in our forgiveness."

He unclasped his armor with a methodically practiced grace, removing his belt and any plating until only the white of his Jedi robes remained. Piece by piece, he placed the gear aside, until only the robed essential remained. Kei had been warned many times not to go on missions without his armor! If Taiden recalled correctly, Matsu had even told him herself once! How things came full circle.

With the gesture complete, he let silence settle. Taiden observed everyone present, including the Jedi—always the keen student. He studied the way they moved, the subtle shifts in posture, the unspoken dialogue of tension weaving through the gathering. For now, he mirrored Connel Vanagor's approach, maintaining a measured distance so as not to crowd the guests.. Understanding came not from words, but from watching, the weight each carried in their stance and the force.
