Kunlun

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu was working with it before she pushed the force energies outwards. They had arrived at the edge of the storm after a day at maximum speed. As Matsu arrived on the bridge she could feel it wash over her with all of the force energies. Swirling clouds of force empowered funnels casting off bursts of energy in space and it was making a hyperspace anomaly that they were not able to travel through when she held out her hand with a bow of her head reaching out with the force for the time being.

"Alright, run the scanners and search for any openings you can find. I will need to meditate if we can find a way through to try and hold back the storm." She wasn't certain if she could... well okay she was certain she could but it was a question of how long could they hold it back if needed to... That was the real danger when she was moving with most of the force energies gathering around herself at the small area in the center of the bridge. The captain was directing them while they traveled and matsu sat down.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Her eyes were half closed with the lids lightly fluttering, breathing even as gently her tongue pushed against the roof of her mouth. Legs crossed as she didn't feel any discomfort from it allowing the force to flow freely throughout her body with the added benefit of focus and control. Slowly Matsu moved her hands to her knees lightly resting them on top of the end with the back of her wrists and her thumb and index finger touched rubbing together lightly before she focused the force and projected it outwards through the ship.

Her own barrier mingled with the shield until they found it, a small break in the anomaly that was able to be passed through the a second relay was dropped for later when they were going through. The force storm reacting to their presence as it crashed like a massive tidal wave against the shields of the ship spilling over and making the barrier glow with a purple then golden light. Matsu could feel it in her body while she was letting the storm enclose around the ship and it felt like it went on forever through the depths of space.

 

[Matsu Ike]

She continued to feel the force within the storm all around her while she was pushing the force energies back away from the hull of the ship when there was a breakthrough. They had cracked through as the sensors flared up detecting different things. Klaxons blaring when the storm broke away and Matsu could feel it after several hours of going through the force storm they had arrived inside. Energies receding before she felt it on the edge of her senses and reached out. Tens of millions of minds within the system.

"Master Ike we are detecting lifesigns on the long range sensors and a small handful of planets and...." he trailed off when her eyes opened to see it. The system wasn't massive but at the same time it was as five planets were contained within and the ship was navigating through an asteroid field. Records and notes were being made for navigational information to the rest when they returned as Matsu could see the bigger thing. A trinary system with the suns on the sensors in the center surrounded by a second smaller but larger asteroid field.

 

[Matsu Ike]

It was an impressive system before she reached out with her senses to allow the force energies to expand outwards letting the feeling of millions of lives coming to her when they were navigating through the asteroid belt until they arrived. The worlds seemed to be within the zone for each one to be saved. She was letting the force energies push through the haze to watch and feel the worlds. The lightside of the force was like a beacon here that she could feel warming her core until the jedi master looked out.

"The atmosphere shows signs of terraforming on the planets and the moons. Each one has been made for habitation and the life readings are off the charts with more signatures then we can count right now." The captin was speaking and they were sending out relays and mapping probes to get the system before she pushed it all into the back of her mind. She was feeling each moon as the scans showed that the moons and planet had been converted. They were massive cities like Nar Shadda or Denon or Coruscant.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"The scans show that the worlds are massive cities, the moons look much the same. They have been building themselves quite the society in here." THe captain said it bringing it up as there were ships mobilizing and scans showed an old configuration with the designs that looked like ancient jedi and republic ships. "Hold us steady, they are not bringing up shields or arming weapons. We will talk with them as best we can." She gave a nod of her head to the man standing there when the ships stopped approaching them.

"We are being hailed master Ike." Matsu stood there with a nod of her head as she spoke. "Answer them, lets say hello." Matsu waited for a moment and then brushed her outfit to ensure she looked prime and proper as the screen came on. The view of jedi robes on the crew of the ship and officers standing there while the man spoke with a nod of her head. "Greetings, I am Matsu Ike a master of the jedi order and explorer." There seemed to be a pause when she was listening to them and contemplation for a moment.

 

[Matsu Ike]

The looks on the faces of the other crew as Matsu said it seemed to be ones of surprise and realization. Slowly they bowed their head offering a small look of understanding and planning before they spoke. "Welcome then master jedi to our home. We have been waiting for contact from the other jedi if they were still alive in the galaxy for a very long time." He had her interest while they were bring over some of the things. matsu clasped her hands behind her back with a small look when she started speaking.

"Well we welcome you and are glad to meet you. The jedi orders under grandmaster [member="Shmi Labooda"] and Mako Aku would love to meet you." Matsu said it while she stood there and the ship was coming in closer towards the docking ports. They would be able to meet in person as scans of the rest of the system came back and there were more ships coming to join them from the other planets. The moons of the worlds developed much the same way and Matsu could see it on her datapad for her wrist and palm.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"Is this entire system system one large fortress world?" She was wondering it now, each moon, each planet seemed to have been built like Denon a massive city but it was more then that. A massive temple like at Korman Loa's temple only it wasn't a space station this was a massive planet wide temple. "This is very possible master." Harmony was walking with her while Quiet and the La Rasa were walking for them all to meet these jedi looking being who seemed to pulse with the lightside of the force.

The airlock whooshed as the doors opened and Matsu looked at the man and woman who came through. Lightsabers on their hips, brown and white robes with utility belt that were giving them a look and she could feel it. The lightside of the force was radiating off of them while they were taller then her. The small atrisian jedi master offering a hand to them when they finally arrived in front of her. The grip was solid, there was warmth to it and a look in his eyes that said they were prepared for things but were welcome to this idea.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"We have been long awaiting the arrival of the jedi order here in the system. When our ancestors arrived they were following an ancient mandate of exploration and progress within the jedi order." She was offering a nod of her head in understanding, the star maps and plans that she and Corvus had discovered were clear about some of the ideas. She and Corvus had been guessing they were doing different things to try and expand the order in case of problems that might arise.

"Well when we found the information in the star maps myself and the grandmaster were surprised. There have been dangerous times and the information has been lost so we were not certain what we might find or when we were supposed to find this system. To find you, there was just a few clues we could find and it required us looking at other locations along the maps. We found more information and eventually still needed to create a stronger and superior level of star mapping technology to find you."

 

[Matsu Ike]

The man seemed to be thinking about it and certain things took place across his face in the span of a small handful of moments. From the surprise and despair that was there to the realization of what was happening now. It had been thousands of years for them to be here and the jedi master who had come to the ship seemed to think about it for a moment. "That is a disheartening tale to hear, we have been waiting and hoping for the day to rejoin the order but the storm is difficult to navigate and we are unable to find a way past it."

Ah the force storm and the hyperspace breakwater would be dangerous coming from this direction if you didn't know what to do, she had been glad they set beacons and were able to plot a course through it with some of the beacons designed using the mesh so it could resist the force and stay still within the storm to guide them through it. Matsu was remaining there before she turned over with some of her attention to the bigger things now seeing the other jedi with him looking at the droids and her.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"Your companion, is a jedi as well I take it." She had a look on her face watching some of them when he spoke giving her a few more ideas. "No, she is of the first response diplomatic corp within the jedi acolytes." That was a mouthful while the jedi master was watching her. "That is a long title." Matsu said it as the woman came forward speaking and standing at attention. "The jedi acolytes are the non force using children of the jedi. Trained in as many of the skills as can be taught without the force and sent on diplomatic missions to ships that might make it through."

"THis is our first one." There was a look on her face and while sh that Matsu could feel. So that was one thing and well if they had thousands of years of children being born then ye they would have to work on things. Non force using children would be born on the worlds if they had created a terraformed temple spanning planet. The children would need to do something and why not teach them all of the information as well as the knowledge that would allow them to preserve the jedi order.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu was listening to them as for the next three hours they were discussing things. While the other ships arrived and docked bringing different jedi to come and see her as well as the team of explorers. Matsu was very much liking the ones here who turned over with a lot of the attention on the larger things. She was giving them tea for all of the stuff they had when she finally spoke seeing they had a full crowd in the ship. "Hmm so there is a lot of interest in this from all sides but to keep from overcrowding is there any way to go tot he planet?"

The one man she had met looked at her and gave a nod of his head to her question as he spoke. "We can do that, there are many others who would want to see you and the other worlds will want to be informed themselves. We can do that from the audience chamber." There was a look on her face while she moved with them and went to the bridge to set the course. She was learning about what improvements they had made to the jedi order in some terms. There were the different ranks and over time they terraformed moons to teach and refine those skills.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu was getting the low down of it and what history had formed from the world. The jedi had arrived here with a sleeper ship for colonizing efforts, terraforming the worlds themselves after they had managed to get through and sleeping for the several decades that had been required. Once that was done they started construction efforts with the other jedi to make a new home and a temple that over the years started expanding until it spanned the entire continent and then the entire surface.

From there with the entire surface covered they built upwards installing and creating technology for themselves that was to make them self sustaining. Over the time they expanded even more going to the moons, then to the other worlds in the system as they built up the cities while other worlds were being terraformed. Several thousands of years passed allowing the construction efforts and the growing population that was refining the teachings of the lightside and the jedi. They were not certain if there was ever a chance they would be able to return home.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Matsu had some images they were giving her while she saw the world, it was large and had five moons along with the stations in orbit of it. What ships they had were looking over a very of the bigger things while she breathed in the scent of the jedi all around. Each one seemed different, different worlds, different ranks and different trains of thought on what to do as it seemed the three largest worlds were formed into the core of the order. The original ranks and classifications with the other two for the high councilors and the acolytes.

All of it seemed like a big things and from those planets the moons were used for the specializations of the classifications. From a moon where diplomats train and prepare to a world steeped in shadows to train the sith hunters of the jedi order. Each one led by their own council that then reports and works with the high council of the jedi under the grandmaster who serves to try and lead the order and they were going to go and meet this man who had been leading the order for the last two hundred years.

 

[Matsu Ike]

The other thing that was bringing interest to her was what they wore... all were jedi but over the centuries the different worlds had developed their own style, their own looks to the robes. Not largely different but more colors, some placement of sashes and of course the most important thtere was their sabers. The varied hilts were used to identify their ranks within the whole of the order. To create the sense of uniformity and at the same time showed they were within a different branch. All was useful to her senses.

"These moons, these temples they are all a lot to take in. I must ask was this what you were expecting when you came here or has it evolved into this since finding a way out when you have no beacons to guide you?" She asked it and the man there was looking at her with a small look. "At first it was something done to preserve the order. Have all the ranks, all the schools of thought assemble and have their own sections of the planet but then it has slowly evolved into this. Into a planet and a groups within the system."

 

[Matsu Ike]

Ah alright she could work with that and needing to meet with this jedi master as well all of this building had peaked her interest as well as where they were. it was a place far out yet at the same time was close to Silver Sanctums space and yet they had not been able to sense all of it. Likely for the best in her opinion when she was pushing some of the force energies outward to feel the other minds there. She didn't want to invade them but being around this many servants of the lightside of the force was something rare.

At least in her opinion, she loved the Sanctumm but it was slowly moving from hunting the darkside to getting in bed with it and after Ruusan where one of the sanctum members who had come with them tore open reality and endangered all of them in the valley well it wasn't an easy thing. It was why she was working on new ways to hopefully lead some of them back to the path of the light and to calm them down or save them with the mesh they were working on. Perhaps here with all of these jedi the light would solidify the power of it.

 

[Matsu Ike]

She was working with them and as the different jedi showed what ranks they were and where in the system they had a moon she got a few better ideas for it. Not all of the worlds were perfect but they were able to construct a better idea when she learned about the thing close to her heart. The tech division and artisan's temples. Where the jedi were working on making new innovations with the force as well as some of the bigger things to improve upon their lives. With techniques much like that had developed over the centuries.

"This all sounds amazing." She was meeting with some of the artisan's who were working on them when she met with the small group from the artian's and tech division sharing with them new information as well as some of her designs she could push forward with a small smile on her face when they saw and felt the synthweaved mesh of the new equipment they were making. She provided some more information as well on the bigger ideals of the order with how much it had changed as well as all of the crystals and holocrons.

 

[Matsu Ike]

She had gleamed a lot from different holocrons before they were taken from her by unknown forces as the jedi master brought up what information she had from them and several artifacts. She longed to recover them herself but from the things that were being done then she needed to handle it. others had been taking and finding them in strange places across the galaxy as Matsu walked with them loading up a small case of different things as well as equipment. The mesh she was working with came over to her.

"Alright I am ready to work with your people after meeting with the grandmaster." There was a small look on her face while the ship was heading down to the expansive courtyard and making ground in a cradle designed to hold the ship of their sizes. Matsu walked with all of them to the doors while she straightened the meshed kimono that was radiating the jedi masters connection tot he lightside of the force she could work with. "Never thougth I would be this nervous." Matsu said it with a small look on her face walking down.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"Welcome." The booming voice came to her as the man in white robes stood there and looked at her offering a larger grin on his face. Two lightsabers were at his hips and they were made from more ornate materials that she could work with. it looked more like bone or compressed ash which she was guessing some something that might become. Compressed and hardened ash that had been made into it but radiated with the force as it was the remains of the jedi from old. She was guessing there was more to it though.

"Thank you for seeing me grandmaster." The massive world itself was beautiful to see with the tall spires that reminded her of Coruscant or the massive stairs with statues leading up to them of jedi that she didn't really recognize. There was a face on the man with a beard that was braided with silka beads in it, twirled into a look to the bigger things. "It is good to see you master jedi, we have been working on some of the things since you arrived. Wanting to learn and prep more in case others are following you.

 

[Matsu Ike]

"There might be others coming eventually to see you, to come here but for now it is just me. I prefer my exploration and for a way to see around the galaxy where the jedi can protect. The face of the galaxy has changed since the colonization ships went out and a there is a whole lot of things to tell you but also so many new wonders that you will be able to see in the galaxy that we have brought." She held up the case as well as her own ideas to the bigger things. "We have more then enough information here for now."

"Then come we shall have some tea and crackers to go over all of the things you have brought and we can learn what has happened." Matsu followed him and there were the massive statues that looked ornate as she was standing here on the world and could feel it flowing throughout the world. The stonework, the presence of the lightside of the force but it wasn't the planet itself. Over the centuries with the presence of the jedi the temple itself seemed to resonate and she was guessing the force energies they had felt was why the high council and grandmaster were here.

 

[Matsu Ike]

There was even more as she could see it going forward, massive doors with script across them from a slightly evolved old basic. They had changed over the years but it still sounded the same when she was entering and walking through all of it. Silent and respectful of the presences there as more jedi seemed to have assembled to look at her. Each one of them here wearing white robes to match the grandmasters glowing silver robes. The high council when she entered the room wasn't traditional but one from each moon and planet.

They had made it more like a senate viewing, pushing the amounts of the different jedi into groups that all had different robes and she could see some of the real variety now that hadn't been on the ship. From how they dressed to how they presented themselves with some like the brawlers who specialized in force enhancement and body like the matukai fighters or the ones who used ornate disc sabers for throwing like snipers and Zeison sha. The jedi had evolved with some different traditons same as the script covered librarians.
