Lightning in a Bottle (Pilgrims of Knowledge Part 1)

[Rasu Gan]

Dorin Orbit


Light dulled as the Jedi exploratory vessel exited hyperspace, drawing closer to the planet atmosphere. The orange sun, cast deep shadows on the various instruments that lined the craft's control panel, as Rasu piloted the ship forward, driving it closer to the blue and green planet looming in front of them. Dorin. The first planet on the two Jedi's journey. Home to the Baran Do sages, the helium-rich world had only recently rejoined the Republic, after the disbandment of the Sith Empire. Seeing that the world was now in Republic hands, Rasu and Sochi had deemed it the best place to start on their journey, learning more about the Force and the different views that others have of it. As the craft drove further towards the massive orb, the Shi'ido soon felt the pull of gravity as it passed into the planet atmosphere. A loud beep drew her attention to the communications panel, a bright light flashed on the console indicating the hailing of the planetary air control.

"This is Dorin Air Control hailing unidentified craft, Rising Dawn. Please provide some identification." came a deep voice from the intercom, echoing throughout the entire ship. Finding herself alone in the spacious cockpit, Rasu drew her hands over the various buttons and switches that lined the console, inputting the requested identification and broadcasting a returning message down to the planet.

"Not a problem air control. Sending the requested information now. We'll be happy to wait until you have checked everything over." she said, leaning back in the chair as she looked over the instruments, making sure that their home for the next few months was still stable and functioning properly. Her thoughts began to pass over what exactly might transpire on the surface. What would they face? What might they learn? Rasu's main priority was to learn new techniques that she could then pass over to the students at the Academy and those of the Order, gaining new insight on the Force was only a bonus. With her mind turning back to her fellow instructor, Rasu spoke into the mic, broadcasting her voice throughout the ship. "Sochi, we're here. If you want to come join me in the cockpit, we can go over the next stage of the journey before we land." Hoping to see Sochi soon, Rasu adjusted herself in her seat, getting comfortable while she waited for either the arrival of her friend or the returning message from the planet surface.

COCKPIT OF RISING DAWN

Sochi looked up when she heard the intercom cut on, it was obviously air control from the information relayed. This is how she knew they must've been close. She began making her way towards the cockpit. As she walked through the metallic machinery she heard the intercom cut on once more, this time Rasu summoning her to discuss their journey. Sochi had been on pilgrimages before, first to Shili to trace her roots, and then to Felucia where she became a Chieftain. These type of trips were always fruitful if gone to the right place. This particular trip..would prove to be the longest, but the most knowledgeable. She was more than happy to oblige when her good friend brought the idea to her. As Sochi always said, mostly to her students, there are things out there that one just can't simply learn in the confines of the temple. This was an philosophy she held close to, only because she knew it was true from experience.

She approached the entrance door of the cockpit, and it slid open upon sensing her presence. She entered the room, with her robes trailing behind her. She sat beside Rasu in the other seat, looking out at the orange planet before them. She adjusted herself in her seat, and began to speak,

"Alright, were here. It wasn't a bad trip at all. I must say I'm pretty excited that were partaking in this pilgrimage of sorts. I've been thinking that I've needed more time away from the order. To just expand on things further." She said in her familiar soft spoken tone of voice.

Cockpit of the 'Rising Dawn'


It wasn't long before the Shi'ido felt the familiar presence of her friend enter the room, the Togruta taking a seat in the co-pilot's chair opposite Rasu. This was the Headmistress's first ever pilgrimage, although she knew that Sochi had been on multiple trips just like this one. Rasu just hoped that she could prove to her that they could still have lot's of fun together than when the instructor journeyed off on her own. The Shi'ido hadn't seen much of her friend recently since both had attained their positions in the Academy, Rasu missed when they were Padawans, having the chance to go on missions, and training together. In the most recent months, the pair had only seen each other during planetary battle; invasions on the worlds of Dac and O'reen, situations that weren't really suited to friends catching up. So Rasu had planned this trip for two reasons, one; so that she could bring new techniques back into the fold of the Jedi Order, and two; to spend more time and bond more with her dear best friend.

Turning in the chair to face her fellow Jedi Knight, Rasu smiled at her friend as she spoke, "Well I'm glad then that my piloting is still up to scratch after having been stuck at the Academy for so long." Her mind whizzed back to her beloved Academy, filled with bright-eyed students and halls of data and study tools. One of the many jewels of the Jedi Order. In a way, Rasu longed to be back within the walls, although knew that this would be good for her, and already she was starting to enjoy herself.

Bringing herself to reply again to the Togruta, she was interrupted by the return call of the Kel Dor air traffic controller, bringing with him their clearance codes and coordinates for their hangar bay. Putting a halt to their conversation, Rasu brought her hands over the controls, bringing the craft further towards the planet, and their destination, Dor'shan.

COCKPIT OF RISING DAWN
Dor'shan

Sochi smiled, and a soft chuckle escaped her lips. It has been a really long time since the two of them went on any type of assignments or missions, or just plan sparred with one another. They were two of the best knights in the order, and they were constantly busy. Rasu was the headmistress of the Jedi Academy, and Sochi taught there. Whenever they werent doing that, they were on the front lines in multiple battles across the galaxy. Now they had come across the time to jus get away from it all. She was sure it would be fun, and they had plenty of time to catch up with one another. Sochi turned her head slightly to face Rasu who had turned in her seat as well.

"For that I'm also glad, you stood a better chance at flying than I would have. If I had, who knows if we would have made it here in one piece." She said trying her hand at some humor, it wasn't her strongest quality but she felt comfortable enough to try and bring it out. She saw the Shi'ido begin to open her mouth for a response, but it was countered by the call from the air control. Ru turned her head to face the planet once more, it would seem the wait had ended.

As they got closer to Dor'shan, her face lit up due to planets colors glaring through the window. Before hand, she had prepared the gas masks for when they unboarded the ship. It was good to have them just in case. Cruising towards their destination, which was the hangar, they floated above the city. From above one could see the scattered buildings and homes. They all had unusual shapes, some in the form of trapezoids. There was even dome and ziggurat structures as well. It was an interesting site, but it was the lights that made the city even more appealing. Sochi sat and waited for them to approach the dome shaped docks just ahead.

[Rasu Gan]

With the city now in sight, Rasu let herself relax slightly, knowing that the hard part was over, allowing herself to even smile as Sochi joked about her own piloting skills. The Shi'ido knew that piloting wasn't exactly her friends strong suit, so was pleased to find an excuse to get behind the controls and soar through space again, it really had been too long.

"You know Sochi, during this trip I might finally have the time to teach you how to pilot. There's nothing stopping you now." she said, coming up with the thought, as she lowered their craft into the circular opening to their personal hangar bay. Bringing the ship to a halt, she flicked a switch on the board, she felt a shudder through the hull as the landing struts extended and rested on the scratched but glossy ground. Unstrapping herself from the chair, she rose, scanning the control board to make sure everything had shut down correctly before leaving the tight room behind Sochi, taking a left down the hallway into her cabin.

A considerably wide bunk was placed in the center of the room, with a small desk adorned to the side, papers and datapads rested atop the table. A holo of the pair's master also was located on this desk, Marek S'hadar who had only recently been promoted to the rank of Jedi Master and someone Rasu had been seeing a lately out of Jedi business. The Shi'ido took her two weapons which rested on the bed and strapped them to her belt, before throwing a large tanned brown cloak over herself, bringing the hood over her head. Taking one last look in the mirror, she decided that a change of face would be appropriate, and watched as her features bubbled like boiling water. Soon the emerald green Mirialan was replaced with a rather angelic-looking Twilek. Curling her blue lekku around her neck like a scarf, Rasu left the cabin, meeting Sochi at their ship's exit. Pulling the respirator mask over her nose and mouth, Rasu waited before opening the ramp, making sure Sochi's was securely fastened. With nothing us stopping their journey, Rasu hit the button, allowing the artificial air of the ship intermix with the helium rich air if the alien planet. This was where the fun would begin.

[Mother Askani]

She widened her eyes in response to Rasu's statement. Flying just wasn't something Sochi liked. She was already a little nervous being a passenger, but that she learned to deal with. Learning to fly might sound good, but she just wasn't sure. She slowly stood up once she felt the ship physically land, and proceeded with replying to her friends comment. "Well, I'm not so sure about that Rasu, I'm just not so sure its something I'll come to enjoy the way you do." She said responding as she slowly, walked out of the Cockpit of the ship.

Ru heard the steps behind here, and then they disappeared slowly, and faintly. She turned around, but figured she had made at stop somewhere else on the ship. She nevertheless continued on making her way towards the ramp of the ship. She took the time to make sure she had everything, then she grabbed a respirator masks, placing it over her mouth and nose. When she turned she saw Rasu approaching. She adorned a new form, a Twi'lek. She hadn't seen this form in quite a while, not since they were padawans. Ru nodded at her friend, and they proceeded down the ramp. The noise of the intermix of Helium and artificial air produced a stem like sound. She walked down the ramp slowly, looking around. There were droids, and immigrated aliens walking around plenty. Now their journey began.

Standing at the end of the ramp, they were greeted by the soaceports personnel, which happened to be a droid. Its programmed salutation screeched through its makeshift mouth. Sochi bowed slightly, and the droid went on about its business, greeting all the other spacers. She turned to Rasu,

"So, are we ready to find the Baran Do. The temple shouldn't be that far, as its located within this city." She asked.

[Rasu Gan]

Leaving the sanctuary of the ship, Rasu could feel a slight tingle in her body as it transitioned to the new helium enriched air, using the Force to dull some of the aches that originated from her muscles. Leaving their hangar the two Jedi entered the main atrium of the spaceport, catching the notice of several pedestrians due to their long,draping cloaks. Nodding her head in acknowledgement, she turned to the face the droid that greeted them before facing her friend as she too addressed the Shi'ido.

"Sounds like a plan, their Temple is in the center of the city, so it shouldn't be too hard to find." she said, already facing the exit, preparing to leave the busy building. And with that they were off, joining the bustling crowd into the city streets of Dor'shan. Looking up Rasu could make out a large temple-like structure resting on the top of a hill, obviously the city center. Pointing up at her discovery, she made sure Sochi had spotted it also before the continued on their walk, blending into the crowd of Kel Dor and other visiting species. Every now and again a small hiss would escape from her air filter, releasing the stale air inside and filtering the Dorin air so that it extracted most of the helium. This is what it must feel like for the Kel Dor when they leave their home planet, she thought, thinking back to the respirator masks that the species wore when out in the galaxy, what a hassle that must be.

Her thoughts were dashed however when the pair come to the base of the incline. Looking up, Rasu already was beginning to feel light headed after only their short walk. The lighter atmosphere was definitely having an effect on her, but she wasn't exactly sure if it was the same for Sochi. Talking a moment to catch her breath and refocus herself, Rasu began to climb the artistically carved stairs that led up to the entrance of the sage's temple.

After a long few minutes the Shi'ido made it to the top, resting her hand on a nearby pillar as she felt that she might fall over at any moment. Leaning against her support, she waited for the arrival of Sochi, who had either gone on ahead or was still lagging behind, she wasn't quite sure as she had been focusing fully on the task of ascending to the temple. Either way though they were here, and the teaching could now begin, hopefully.

[Mother Askani]

Being introduced to a new environment had its affects on Sochi yes, but that were of a subtle nature, or maybe she just failed to acknowledge them, she was feeling a little light head, but she shook it off, and said nothing to avoid attention being brought upon her, she followed behind Rasu as they made their way to the exit of the hangar. She was looking around the massive spaceport. If no place was diverse, this one certainly was. There were even those who couldn't take their gaze off of them, it seemed they knew the two women's allegiance.

It definetly shouldn't be that hard to find a temple in the center of the city, but they'll see how things turn out. She maneuvered herself around groups, and crowds of people. Walking just next to her friend, as they searched for their destination. Ru's attention was drawn to Rasu when she made out their destination. Her head tilted upwards slightly following the directions from Rasu. It seemed they would have to transverse a hill to reach the temple itself. They began to move again, at a normal pace, walking amongst the crowds of people, citizens and spacers alike.

They arrived at the base of the temple, and Rasu approached the incline first, Ru following closely behind her. She noticed that something just wasn't quite right, Rasu wasn't acting normal, she squinted her eyes, when she saw the Shi'ido stop and refocus. It sounded like she was trying to catch her breath or something of the sorts. She hadn't said anything, she figured maybe she was just a little tired, and kept following up the carved out staircase.

Rasu made it to the top before Sochi, she was only acouple of steps behind. She saw from below that once again Rasu wasn't acting quite right, she quickly ascended and caught up with her. She placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Rasu, are you feeling okay? You don't look that good, maybe we need to get you some medial attention?" She said.

@[member="Rasu Gan"]

 

[Rasu Gan]

"No, no I'm fine. Just lightheaded. Give me a sec' to catch my breath and I'll be ready." she said after Sochi had shown her concern for the Shi'ido. Already her brief rest, was taking effect, the fogginess of her thoughts were lifted, replaced with a more sharper mind. Using the Force, she attempted to speed up the process, slowly taking her weight off the stone pillar and standing upright in her legs, although still slightly shaky, she remained firm.

Nodding to the Togruta Jedi, she and her friend entered through the massive entrance way into a elegant hall. A large stained glass dome spewed light onto the polished stone floor, painting colours of red, orange and yellow on the creamy stone. Kel Dor of all ages travelled between the various corridors leading off from the main hall, garbed in dark brown cloaks, similar to what the Jedi wore as well, allowing the Jedi to blend in and not stand out as outsiders.

Turning to Sochi, she asked to determine their next move. "So do we ask one of the sages here, or do we wait for someone to notice us. I'm not so sure now, maybe we should have discussed this with them before we just showed up on their door step?"


@[member="Sochi Ru"]

 

[Mother Askani]

Sochi relaxed her facial expressions, Rasu said she was fine, and Sochi was still slightly concerned. She figured it was just her body adjusting to the new atmosphere. She slowly took her gaze off of the Shi'ido, turning to the exterior of the temple. They both entered the temple together, taking a step over a protruding step at the base of the entrance. The hall was very elegant, its per acreage floors stretched across the ground, filled with brown tones in color. Taking a couple of steps she stopped, and remained stationary. Her head slowly tilted upwards, towards the ceiling, that had a sparkling effect to it. It was a very extravagant site.

She came to see various Kel Dor traveling the halls, in robes similar to theirs. They didn't stand out too much other than the fact that they were of two different species. Rasu came to stand next to her, and presented a question. In reality, it would've made more sense to just inform the sages of their arrival, but it wasn't a must. It was Ru's preference to ask one familiar with this place. It would save them time.

"I think that we she ask someone, it will save us some time. We don't wanna just wonder their temple." She said talking towards her friend. Looking at her for a brief moment, she walked towards on of the passing sages.

"Excuse me, bu.." Before she could ask a couple of sages approached her. They seemed to be of an older age, possibly seniors in this practice. One stepped up and began to speak,

"Greetings Jedi, we were expecting you two." The Kel Dor said addressing them both at the same time,

[Rasu Gan]

Shocked at the sudden arrival of the pair of Kel Dor sages, Rasu controlled the surprise on her face, closing her mouth and busying herself as she straightened her robe. Sochi too seemed in a state of surprise, her mouth quickly shutting as she was interrupted by the two monks. Rasu pondered over what the pair might have meant. How could they have known of their arrival when the two Jedi had never announced it? The Shi'ido wasn't familiar with the culture of the sages, so perhaps a vision may have informed the sages, or even, though highly unlikely, a prophecy had been brought down depicting of the Jedi's arrival. It could not be certain, all that mattered now was that they knew that the pair were here, and would now act upon this.

Moving over to Sochi, she murmured in her ear as she walked towards the tow Kel Dor, "Well that was a lot easier than I thought." Holding back a small chuckle, she bowed her head slightly in respect for the robed figures, hoping that she was showing the pair's gratitude. "Thank you for the welcome. I am Jedi Knight Rasu Gan, and this is my friend, Jedi Knight Sochi Ru." she said, gesturing to the Togruta beside her. "If it isn't rude to ask, just how did you know we would be arriving at this present point in time?" she asked, hoping Sochi was also wondering the same thing. Rasu didn't want to the one person out of the loop.

@[member="Sochi Ru"]

 

[Mother Askani]

It was very surprising. Sochi was quite familiar with the traditions or culture of the Baran Do either. She squinted her eyes as she began to ponder the situation within her head. She turned her head slowly to the side at the arrival of Rasu. She couldn't nhelp but also draw a smile when she chuckled. They both took a bow simultaneously at the sages before them. The Shi'ido introduced them both, and proceeded to present them with a question, that both women were thinking about at the time. Sochi turned her head slightly, and slightly widened one of her eyes, she was just waiting for the answer they would give.

The Baran Do bowed in response, and proceeded with answering the questions the female Jedi presented. They knew they would know their culture or their traditions; at least not yet. They looked to one another and turned to face the Jedi once more,

"We have an affinity for seeing into the future when we meditate on the nature of the force. Our last vision was one that informed us of your arrival. We know what it is that you seek, and our temple is open." One of the Kel Dors spoke.

Sochi's eyes went back to their normal state. Now it all made sense, they were able to predict the future in certain instances. It was surprising, and she wondered how Rasu would take this information. Ru long to know more of the mysteries surrounding this vision.

@[member="Rasu Gan"]

 

[Rasu Gan]

It made sense now once the Baran Do had explained it to the pair of Jedi. Visions are extremely hard to analyse but are most often always accurate. A sense of relief passed over the Shi'ido, they were meant to be here, or what reason she did not know, but at least the two Jedi instructors had been allowed entrance. She knew that many of the other organisations that they would be visiting were not so friendly to strangers. The Baran Do seemed the most civilised out of their list, so it was as good a place as any to start.

"Thank you very much." she said, bowing again, hoping that they could sense the gratitude emanating from her aura. She had no idea what she wanted to do next, not expecting to get this far so easily. Would they journey to their archives or perhaps begin training under the sages immediately. Turning to Sochi, the Shi'ido wondered what her friend wanted to do first, surely she would have some idea. Or perhaps the sages already knew or had set up a program for them already, having foreseen their arrival. It was all so confusing and everything was moving so fast, it was hard for the Headmistress to keep up. "What do you want to do Sochi?" she said, deciding that she would follow her friends actions this time, happy for the Togruta to take the lead.

@[member="Sochi Ru"]

 

[Mother Askani]

Sochi titled her head down slowly, and brought her index finger to her chin. A vision? Of course! It all made sense to her now. From what she knew of vision, they were hard to interpret due to the fact that the future was always in a constant state of change. She wondered more, it would seem the Baran Do were more insightful than anything. In fact they kind of made the two instructors jobs easier. At least they gained entrance, and received a friendly welcome, the latter which isn't always so easy to come by. She looked up finally when Rasu went to thank them. She bowed right after her friend, then she they turned to one another. She was presented with a question,

"Well, I'm sure they..." She said before being cut off once more. One would think after their warm welcome the sages would leave them be to explore and experience on their own, but in fact there was more. Sochi turned her attention to the sages once more. The two Kel Dor looked to one another, it seemed they had some held back information or advice they had to give.

"You both are great friends, this revealed in the vision, and quite obvious now in the present time." One of them spoke out. Exactly after the second one spoke, and Sochi turned her eyes towards him. "There's something you must learn, together that is, and to benefit you both." Sochi squinted her eyes, as she had never heard of such a skill. She also wondered why it was they needed to learn it together. The Baran Do spoke once again, to she'd light on the matter.

"Theres a bond between you. a force bond. With proper understanding you can sense when the other is hurt, or in danger, communicate through thoughts, and bolster the strength of one another." The sage spoke. Then it made sense after all. Sochi turned to Rasu to see what she would think.

@[member="Rasu Gan"]

 

[Rasu Gan]

It truly did astound the Shi'ido that the two Baran Do had seen so much about the pair in their vision, although she believed every word of it. She knew from past experience to always trust a vision, as although the futures is constantly changing, it is most likely that the witnessed scene is most likely to occur no matter the attempts to divert it. Looking over at Sochi, she too seemed to be in a state of disbelief. They had been on their trip no longer than a day and already so much faith and trust was being placed upon them.

Despite the sage's words, Rasu had already guessed at what they were implying a long time ago. It was indeed obvious that their friendship stretched so much further than a physical bond, it went far deeper. However to what extent it could be pushed to, she did not know. She had heard that such a feat could be seen between Force-sensitive twins, so perhaps it could be replicated here as well.

"I'd say we go along with it for now. It does seem likely." she said to Sochi, turning now to face the two Kel Dor again. "It would be an honour to train inder your people. What would you have us do, Masters?" Things were starting to turn out to be quite a bit more exciting then she had first expected, however she wasn't complaining. "I'm ready to learn."

@[member="Sochi Ru"]

 

[Mother Askani]

Rasu seemed to be more than willing, and Sochi wasn't against it. She was just astonished by how much they received from their vision. It did seemed like their friendship was more than it seemed, there was a bond there that Sochi couldn't not feel with anyone else, except her master, Marek. Hmm, she placed her index finger on her chin. After hearing what Rasu had to say, Sochi went along with it, finally agreeing to the training the sages wanted to teach; in truth what could it hurt?

"As am I ready to learn. But I must say this force sec is very intuitive. There was much perceived from your vision. I think its a great feat." She said softly following behind the sages, and walking next to her friend, then a Kel Dor turned to speak to her, answering her question.

"We meditate consistently through out the day, once were untuned with the force, we are prone to visions, as a group that is, with all of us discussing the properties of our visions we can usually uncover most of the information if not all that we require." He said speaking and then turning back around. It was a plausible answer, and one that had much logic behind it, she began to admire the beauty of the temple as they walked. It was quiet, and multiple force signatures could be felt throughout it.

@[member="Rasu Gan"]

 

[Rasu Gan]

Keeping pace with her friend and the two sages guiding them through their temple, Rasu made sure to engulf every piece of information they uttered, thriving off the interesting wisdom that the Kel Dor spoke of. She hadn't heard of any organisation with such prowess in Force visions other than the Voss, which had now weakened since joining the rest of the galaxy after their isolation thousands of years ago. To be able to interpret such visions so precisely was no easy feat, this she knew after having her fair worth of the phenomenon. She knew however that this was not what they had come to learn. The Baran Do's vision interpretation could be learnt at a later date, however it was the sages Anya-seff technique that had peaked the Shi'ido's interest, causing her and Sochi to visit Dorin. This vision business had however changed the pair's course of action.

"Although that does sound highly interesting Masters, does the reason for our visit have anything to do with your vision? Strengthening our bond is indeed important, so why not get to it straight away?" she didn't mean to sound rude, however she wanted to get underway. Sochi was of the more patient type, leaving Rasu to take the other half. Excited and ready to learn, she continued to follow the Baran Do, who had now stopped their chatter. Hoping that she now hadn't insulted or offended them, Rasu tilted her head down as her cheeks flushed a deep blue. What a great start I have made, she thought, mentally hitting herself for her impatience. With the pairs training near approaching, memories of her Padawan days came flooding back, bringing with it a sense of nostalgia. The long journey had begun.

One month later

As she sat in meditation, Rasu could faintly pick up on the soft hiss of her respirator as it filtered the helium rich air of the Dorin. Reaching out she could feel her friends presence only in front of her, her warm aura standing out against the dark blankness about them. Rasu could feel and sense everything that her friend was experiencing, and she knew that the sensation would be the same for Sochi as well. It had been a month since they had arrived, and the Baran Do sages had put them through drill after drill, until their Force awareness had increased tenfold. Opening her eyes, she looked in front of her to where her friends Force presence had been, but found only a stone wall.

A smile grew on her face as she stood up and left the meditation compartment, the thrill of success causing her grin to only widen. The pairs sensory skills had indeed increased just like the vision had foretold, with the two women feeling the emotion and physical strains that the other felt even from great distances now. It had started with a room separation, then they had moved to different areas pf the temple on Dor'shann. Now after a months training, Rasu had been moved to a private temple, much smaller than the one in the capital, to test the bond that had strengthened between the pair. The Shi'ido had even found time to get separate training in with some of the more advanced sages, learning to manipulate electromagnetic waves to tamper with technology and other similar devices. So far their trip to Dorin had been a large success, but she knew that the sages could only teach them so much, soon their would be nothing left to learn and the pair would have to work on it in their own time.

Entering the adjacent chamber, she began to switch on the large holo-communicator stationed in the center of the room, contacting the Dor'shann temple. "Sochi can you hear me?" she asked as a fuzzy image appeared on the display. "We did it Sochi, that time it felt much stronger. Was it the same for you?"

@[member="Sochi Ru"]

 

[Mother Askani]

Plenty of time had passed, and the two had been training and training to develop their bond. It would seem they had a niche for developing such things. She sat in her room cut off from Rasu, yet she could always feel and sense whatever Rasu was experiencing or even sense whenever Rasu was looking for her, the skill they learned over this time had seen their skills in awareness and sense grow extremely and fast. She turned to look, as if Rasu were right behind her, but it was only a wall; one that hadn't really divided them, she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, it forced her to smile subtlety.

Thought there was much focus on developing their bond, Sochi was quite able to learn other techniques. She knew Rasu wanted to specifically learn the technique of Anya-Seff. Sochi took to honing her perception and awareness skills. She was tutored in the ways of Farsight. A skill she wanted to hone for quite some time now, she learned how to gain vague impressions of events happening in other places or times using the Force. These visions focused on strong imagery and emotions. This also saw her skills within her bond with Rasu to expand, her ability to sense her grew even more. This also spread to her other friends.

The trip had been more successful than she would have expected. They learned about themselves and one another; though it wasnt really something they struggled with. Then she got a feeling, and turned to her holocomunicator located within the center of the room. She approached it and was standing there when Rasu contacted her.

"Yes, I felt it that time. This time the connection was the strongest. It even continued after it was severed, I had a feeling you were going to contact me. I knew we would get it down in no time." She said softly, as her blue image faded her and there. Her smile was still visible to her friend though.
