Private Off we go...

"I have and you are doing a great job, this is just an example f what could happen if the jedi had the chance to not be inturrupted... both for the good and the bad. Ther good that they didn't have the risk of being wiped out.. the bad is a lot of them are very closeminded." She said it and Belit gave a slow nod of her head. "You are not wrong, after several thousand years of being alone many while willing to protect don't want to leave the nebula and interact with the galaxy at large." She said it and the pathway went into a larger training room with more students at tables as tey were grouped and solving different situations. The simulations being there as they bombarded scenarios at each team and the force was speeding up their mental processes Natsu was looking at it and squinted a little as Belit spoke. "Scenario simulations, focusing under pressure and what can be done across various scenarios. Using historical records we recreate battle, encounters and a number of various tests seeking the optimal solution."

The recreation simulators are nice but it was there that he saw the differences between these facilities. They were tremendous and very deserving of his respect, but Caltin knew that no amount of simulators could take the place of things as they happen. No shame against anyone here, but he gained a newfound gratitude for his experience.

This place is great. Nodding as he looked around. I have some holocrons to retrieve and bring back.

Matsu gave a nod of her head as Belit was leading them through into another chamber with different gates. Additional ones that they had set up for accessing the temples thanks to Matsu and the silver jedi. "Which can help." The jedi master said it as she was walking over and setting the coordinates for Caltin... a smile on her face and Matsu spoke as the gateway opened with a shimmering of purple. "Be safe." She said it and remained there as Belit bowed her head and a few others followed suit. Padawans and jedi with others all mixed in. "We look forward to your return."

I won’t be long. Running off, Caltin finally made his way to and found the portal which took him back to the Shadow Temple. That is one trippy ride judging by the big man’s reaction. Luckily at this point, Caltin knew exactly where to go, the vault.

From there he went to, and grabbed a loading cart and put down the Connection Holocron, Holocron of Knowledge Holocron of Combat, a newly minted holocron documenting The trial of spirit, The Way of the Saber, and The Way of the Guardian and then he made his way back.

Stopped a couple of times to answer questions, Caltin assured that what he was taking with him would be coming back, that this was just an educational and cultural exchange, he went on.

Getting back through the portal with the skiff he grinned.

Told you I wouldn’t be long. Nodding as he looked around. He looked for a place to bring these too, maybe Arona, Belit or Matsu were around.

Caltin leaving quickly had Matsu and Belit there for the moment at least as the two of them waited checking with some of the others. Jedi from the planets creche on their daily exercises with medical droids as Matsu checked on some of the children with them. "Beatiful children." SHe said it and most of them were too young to staart training yet... but they were getting up there as they walked in their robes. The mothers nodding and heading off when other jedi came through. Caltin returning and the jedi master found a place to stand mostly and clasp hands behind her back with a smile on her face. "Wonderful, welcome back."

A man of his word, Caltin brought the holocrons off to the side so as not to be in everyone’s way. This was not the place to access them, but it was good manners to keep them there for some level of decorum and symmetry between Temples.

Standing back with a grin. He nodded. Thank you. This is a good way to begin the flow of information back and forth. My next trip will have something bigger that I am working on right now. He did not want to expand on that as it was not complete. Or completely known whether or not successful.

Belit looked at him and the offerings as she gave a nod of her head. "Thank you, we shall cherish and return it along with as much of ours as we can share." She said it and walking as other joined them, she was looking over at some of the others who were there. "This is Ikuri our beastmaster." She said it and looked at the woman as a miraluka stood holding with a few others. Hair tied back in a ponytail, sash over her eyes and a wrap around her chest... skin showing a mixture of muscle and scrs over lightly bronzed skin and thigh high rider boots. A skull at her hips as the horns curved and locked around with a skirt on the back of it. She was checking on some of the younger riders who were there looking excited. More jedi were around and matsu took in a few of their robes. "Impressive so bring anything good to read?"

Caltin nodded at Belit’s call. Then when everyone else had shown up he was a little surprised. It was almost some level of “celebrity” here as he chuckled. Matsu seemed to be “checking out the ladies” which just made Caltin look back to Belit

He nodded. I would say “protect them” here, but I do not think that you have that problem. He smirked at his own “Dad joke”. Beware though, “page turners, they are not.” It was a bad impression.

Caltin Vanagor

"Pageturners can be boring... lessons and undersstanding take careful examination... and besides everything builds upon something else. in a decade, a century, longer someone might see these and be inspired to change the galaxy. Thaat is the benefit of recording all of the needed information." The jedi master said it as she was walking and Belit led the way into their libraary as it was three massive levels. The lowest filled with students and smaller looking like the coruscant archives with long tables and banks of computers. Physical books and tomes linging the walls. The second level large as an oval that gleamed with racks of datapads, holocrons, datacrons and other physical tools... before finally going up to the third and largest that opened up and ringed with more shelves of older scrolls and tapestries, murals and statues. In the center of it all hovering was a large hologram of the world that could be looked at.

Impressive.

Hands on his hips as he stood in the library looking around, Caltin appreciated greatly just how vast this was. Towering well over those on the first floor, he could pretty much see everything. Makes one wonder if some man is playing “Galaga”.

What’s “Galaga”?

Noting just how big the place is, he wondered aloud. Just how extensive is your library? You say you record everything. He genuinely wondered. Like what? Is it chronological? Separated by topic? Category?

 

[Matsu Ike]

Caltin Vanagor

"We docusment it by area of knowledge. Each temple has a library dedicated to its focus aand temples like this which is for the entire order has a small section for each temple. From there it is subjects like ships, battles, planets, further divided by year and groups participating. The furthe back you go the more vague it might become until you just have artifacts that are carbon dated and texts being worked on to try and translate and restore to a visible recognition. The lower vaults of the libraries house even more and the archievists moons has laarger vaults for artifacs that might need to be contained or as leftover vessels."

I get that.

Walking along the lower level, admiring each book he saw, running a hand over the rows in appreciation, he stopped halfway through. He looked up at the ceiling, a feeling of awe washing over him. He took a deep breath and continued to browse. He smiled, feeling a sense of contentment. He lingered for a while, soaking up the atmosphere of the level. Finally, he gathered his courage and chose a book to take a gander.

Thumbing through the pages, he wondered aloud.

What if you run into a situation, academically speaking, that you are not prepared for? Such as a Guardian studying to become a weapons master who might be better suited as a Shadow? Thinking about his son Connel, he went on. Portal? Backup documentation?

 

[Matsu Ike]

Caltin Vanagor

Matsu raised an eyebrow at the question but found a place to sit as she was hovering in the air looking at the jedi masters. Belit turning her head aas she waited a moment. "A guardian who expresses the absolutism of a shadow would be sent to the councilor of first knowledge to be tested. From an academic standpoint shadows are powerful to have at the ready but they are dangerous in many orders. Seeking any infraction as a hint of darkside corruption it is why they are without leaders or ranks among themselves and are only masters of the highest quality. Though from records we have seen how much the name has been changed to mean anyone who wants to be edgy as it were or brooding."

Matsuy’s eyebrow brought out another eyebrow.

I was talking hypotheticals and more about how research and information are handled is all.

The explanation about Shadows made him a little uncomfortable and frankly a little insulted for his son’s sake, but the big man was able to let it go easily enough.

Then he looked off in the distance.

Are those repulsor carpets?

 

[Matsu Ike]

Caltin Vanagor

"They are, master Ike brought us them from frisal. We have found use for them as well as anumber of other pieces that have been made." She moved as there were more around and studying at their tables. She turned her head back and shrugged while continuing the tour as Matsu floated over the tables and was looking at the different research the padawans and some of the knights were doing. "We have no problem giving the stuff you will use and the information from here filled in a few gaps for us as well. Then there was the bloodline citadel on Avalonis with the children of the jedi that we have been able to better see and understand... helped us find some lost and wayward jedi families."

At this point, he did not really know what else to say or do. At this point He took a deep breath and tried to think clearly. He decided to take a step back and reassess the situation. He needed to find a way to defuse the situation. He realized that he needed to stay calm and collected. He thought through possible responses that could calm the other person down. He decided to take action.

Truth be told, the big man felt like he was overstaying his welcome at this point, so the best thing to do was “come back to this”. He sighed, knowing that he had to leave soon, but he couldn't bring himself to say goodbye. Instead, he just stood there, taking in the scene one last time. He wanted to make sure the memories would last forever. Alright then, I guess an exchange is in order.

 

[Matsu Ike]

Caltin Vanagor

Matsu looked at Caltin more curious but she shrugged floating in the air before going off to one of the rails where some of the padawans were and she waas working to have a little fun with them. Belit bringing out a datapad as she held it. "Alright. We have our information for the history fo the world and some of the refinements we have been doing in self sustaining technologies and equipment as well as organizing large scale temples. If you want things that are more specific please just ask."

Nodding as he let them decide what to share and what not to, Caltin looked around and Matsu’s reaction was not lost on him.

Thank you for your hospitality and showing me around. While I normally do not do this, I highly recommend you read up on, or access the holocron “The way of the Guardian” That data was crafted and entered by a Knight who grew up and trained as a Guardian and only shifted over to learn how to be a Shadow quite recently. Relatively speaking. He still has a ways to go and a bit still to learn, but is an exception to the general rule. In fact, I invite you to come to the Shadow Temple and walk around. You might be surprised by what you see. He offered a genuine smile.

Fair?

"It would be interesting, we d not travel outside the system often even with the new gateways so maybe that will change. Master Kae's direction for the order has been on building up our strengths" Belit said it as she was walking among the others and Matsu remained up hovering near the second level railing. The jedi master rolling a little in the air for some laughs but was also reading the datapad that had been presented to her. "It is a good place, you'd like it... maybe.... not as overly designed as here and not as many people but it does have more charm and there are not many things better then having a wookiee give you a hug."
