Pack 'em tight. We gonna have a Snowball fight!

[Jericho]

Jericho continued to stand crossed armed and listen as the masters spoke and asked the needed questions that needed to be asked for this mission. His eyes focusing intently upon the small girl that stood so innocently yet in a hyper stated of mind as she bounced around to get ready. Was all the youth in the new Jedi order like this? Doubtful. He could see her pasty eyes scanning around at the masters, eager to go on this mission. He analyzed her and the other quickly to ensure he knew how to act in a hostile situation, if it were to occur. The warrior closed this eyes allowing all the information given and suggestions to sink in, he could tell how one moved and acted through the kinetic communication and words spoke by each individual. A skill developed from his own race with that of a zeltron's training in emotional empathy.

Though the room they all gathered in was bustling with chatter of the members speaking to one and other. Jericho merely stood quietly as he did and faced outside watching the darkness that was space. Most of the chatter went muffled as he began to think about everything. He pressed an arm on the window and rested his head lightly on his arm; waiting patiently for this thing to start. He had always been the type to go into a mission and finish it was swiftly as possible to avoid any bad outcomes. Thinking that he looked back to the members of the mission and than back out to the abyss. "Let's hope nothing goes wrong then..." He thought to himself. He did not question the competence of the other masters they all seemed capable, even more so than himself but one could never truly knows what can happen. The warrior clenched his fist.

"Emily...." The warrior, let out a sigh. The death of one of his padawans was hitting him harder than expected. "Lets get to this mission, Already...." He thought.

Nellja nodded, a tad bit nervous she would be unable to keep a promise of silence to one of the masters. However, she would try to... be quiet...

She glanced at the Jedi who had questioned her presence in the group. If she had the moment, she would be giving him a little chat. She was young, yes. Crazy, absolutely! Insane, maybe a little. But unprepared? The Silver Jedi had saved her from a youth of abuse and despair. She was putting her one-hundred percent passion into this mission. She owed everyone around her her life...

She was going to reply the Jedi Master's request in eager words, but she shut up and nodded instead. She lightly moved her legs as she thought, Man, being still is gunna be hard...

 

[Coci Heavenshield]

"Good", she simply said to the young girl, before rolling her eyes as she heard both Connor and Xander address her, giving them both a look that only woman can. She has seen men try to imulate it, and fail only to be comical in the attempt. "If we all wish to arrive to your destination, then for the love of the force, do not allow Connor to pilot", she shot over her shoulder and she boarded the craft.

Coci had made a lot of progress to rid herself of her fear of flying, only to be completely undone on their mission to save Serena. However, none of this would ever show on her face, she is Shadow mode and all emotions internally and externally removed.

"Padawan Nellja, tell me .. do you have a master?", she asked, as Coci liked the girl. She is full of spirit and lacked nothing for courage and spunk. However, Coci turned to Master Jericho a member of the Sanctum, a place most dear to her because of Thurion and their home in their territory, more then anything. "Master Jericho, it is a pleasure to meet you finally", she said only now showing any hint of emotion with a small smile.

The Silver Jedi Padawan shook her head 'no.' Man, I can only stay silent for so long... She remained quite as [member="Coci Sinopi"] turned away, crossing her arms in attempts to look cool. The way her legs shook in energy though, it was easy to tell she was faking the calm. THROW ME AT THE ATTACKERS LIKE A SPEAR, DANG IT!! On the outside, she was calm and steady.

[Jericho]

To many of his enemies, Jericho seemed to possess fearless and unparalleled might, truly a warrior if ever been called one capable of almost anything with his knowledge, but he knew better, with any and all success that he had or did. There had come much more failure that he kept silent to himself. He knew that and pointed out to himself, 'in mobilizing any and all enemies, attacking opportunely in the confrontation of armies and contesting victory with any and all, you are not equal to me'. It was by the words of a former teacher; who stressed to 'know your enemy, know yourself', both strengths and weaknesses.

It was clear Jericho had some development to do, after spending so many years studying and involving himself in everything that is known, though now he had much work to do - 'Remember the hardships all that came before you and I have suffered, so you made not suffer as much'. The words never left him, nor the moment when he received the seal, weeping at the loss of his padawan. However, just as he remained strong as one of his former masters. It was however difficult, but he kept it all in memory and reflected even though it was painful, one had to push through and continue the task at hand. It was then that an unfamiliar but soft and calm voice was heard, "Master Jericho, it is a pleasure to meet you finally", the voice of @Coco Sinopi.

The woman he, in truth, knew very little about aside from her being member of the Silver Jedi and the lover of his fellow disciple of Asha Seren. Pondering for a moment he realized he knew more about his enemy than his allies, at least in terms of the individuals. Putting his thoughts aside of his fallen padawan, he turned and face the woman any expression he had, though he rarely showed any, was hidden behind his mask. "Master Sinopi", he replied to her with a humble bow of his head, afterall she was to be considered family even though he hadn't spoken to Thurion directly for many years now. "The pleasure is all mine", he said.

Being more of a man of action than a man of words, a silence kept for a moment as he knew only to greet others politely. Holding an actual conversation was a different matter. The only time he spoke with allies was to get down to business and assist with some sort of raid on sith or a political situation. And the last time he interacted with an "ally" she turned into a sith lord, stabbed him and left a scar on his neck. The silence stayed for a moment longer before a few more words were able to be released from his lips. "Are you ready for this mission?"

(Sorry if this post seems odd in any way, it's been a long day.)

As everyone was getting on the ship and grabbing their bearings, I closed up the ramp with the wine of the hydraulics pulling it back up. I walked towards the cockpit and moved myself into the pilots chair. I knew that Coci could fly, and well, I had to admit that while Connor was not really the person who was best for the piloting job, I think he would be fine in the Navigator seat. Walking over to the group of three masters who were talking, I nodded my welcome to Jericho.

"Welcome aboard Jericho. Glad to have you with us."

Facing the other two Jedi Masters, I indicated to move towards the cockpit where everybody could sit,

"Master Coci, I hope you don't mind being my Co-pilot? Connor, because you so badly want to fly this thing, and I don't want you to wreck it, I can give you the navigator chair. If not, I can find someone else who would just LOVE to help fly this thing."

I smiled brightly at the last sentence, knowing that even before I said it that Connor would probably be saying okay and trying to rush towards the chair before anyone else can take it from him. After a pause to hear their words, I walked over to Nellja. The Jedi padawan seemed almost jumpy. I lowered myself from my height being almost 2 meters tall, down so I could see her at eye level.

"Keep it up. and I might show you what I have in the back."

I winked at her to make sure she kept it up for now. Surprisingly I knew she would like it. Not because she was jumpy, but because of her being a female. And well, all girls liked animals right? *winky face to the camera*

"Come on, lets get the show on the road!"

She only nodded her head in understanding as Nellja informed her she had no Master as yet. Coci, reluctant to take on apprentices much preferring to work along, even though she has trained others, they are to her a hindrance, however, she would keep an eye on the girl and see how she performs in the field. Coci is always on the lookout for recruit to the Shadows, a small group of secretive Jedi close knitted but whether she is cut out for that remains to be seen and the Shadows have to be cautious who they recruit as the need for security very paramount.

Immedately she went to the cockpit, Xander requesting her as co-pilot which Coci is grateful for, not so much because of Connor, although that is part of it, but more to keep her mind occupied over the journey. She sat in the seat without a word, mind focused on engaging the engines to warm for preparation for take off. Her fingers lightly danced over over the controls, running a check on all systems, she would leave the navicomp to Xander.

"All systems check Xander, lets go", she finally said looking back to see if the others are seated and strapped in. Assured they are, she buckled in herself and waited for that gut wrenching feeling of take off.

 

[Connor Harrison]

Connor waited as everyone came on board – one who was referred to as Jericho, along with the amusingly eager Padawan Nellja, were both new faces to him and it seemed more and more new faces were trickling into the Order. It seemed most people had links to others – Connor had his links outside the Order, true, but they never came within their walls.

Chewing on his cheek slightly, he tapped his hands on the rafter above and nodded graciously at Xander who gave him the nav chair in the cockpit.

”Navigation – got it. Let’s see what this ship can do.”

Connor moved behind the others and seated himself behind the cockpit, getting a feel for the controls and projections on the screens before him. He gave a small whistle and ran his eyes over the readouts.

”Everything seems…normal, ready when you are.”

Nodding my head, I was still standing as the two went to their seats. As they were taking some time to go over the systems, I knew all I would need to do is activate and set the navicomputer and leave the atmosphere and we would be good to go. While standing behind Connor and Coci, I began to speak as though I was on the public transit.

"Welcome to Carrick Airlines! May I have your attention at the front please. Today we will be taking you to Orto Plutonia in the hyper transit system. Please remain in your seat until given the okay. Keep all hands, legs, and other appendages in the seat at all times during take off and landing. Buckle yourself up, and have a nice ride."

I gave a half assed salute as I walked to my chair and sat down. Not even going with my own rules and leaving myself unbuckled and started to mess with the Navi computer. Setting it to the Sector, system, planet, and then to be just outside of the atmoshphere. I smiled and reached out for the controls. Bringing them towards me, the ship started to lift up from the ground. I flipped a switch knowing that the landing gears were being retracted. and continued to pull up. I then tilted it back a little to raise the nose of the ship higher into the air before slowly pushing onto the gas. Pressing harder and harder until I was going max out of the planet.

"Up up up and....."

As I spoke I charged up the hyperdrive. Setting up everything I smiled and let a very dramatic pause come just before I punched it.

"Away."

The familiar sounds and sights of hyperspace came around us, and Poof, we were on our way to the mission.

She pushed back into the co-pilot seat, her arms came up to fold across her chest as she listened to Xander give his ... talk to them. So this is it. so this is Kaadu Clan? we are not going to make this out alive, she jested to herself. Her head turning as Xander took his seat and begin the procedures for the flight. Soon enough they had lift off and headed skyward. Her hand gripped the arm rest of the seat as she watched the ship smoothly ascended, at least it was a smooth ride.

Her brow raised and a turn of her lip the only indication of mirth at his joking around, well at least they could allow some humour before things would get serious mission bound. "ETA?", she simply asked once in hyper and she stood up. "Iam hungry, anyone else hungry?", she asked before making her way toward the back of the ship and to the galley. The ship will fly itself now.

 

[Connor Harrison]

He glanced over his shoulder at the view, and grinned seeing Coci grip the seat.

”Coci,” he said, leaning over and pointing past her, ”ignore the smoke coming from the right wing over there. It’s probably just nothing.”

Smirking, he pulled back to his chair and chuckled. Never gets old. Connor keyed in the coordinates of the planet and tapped his fingers on the control deck as the ship lurched upwards and away in the atmosphere of Voss.

”It’ll be a long trip, but we could hit the Perlemian Trade Route and then cut down the Corellian Run to make it there without hitting Hutt Space?”

Food was tempting, but Connor would hang back for now make sure Xander was happy with things and sort a good route to the planet in the quickest and safest time.

"Well I will say no to the food, height always makes me a little dizzy and I don't want to do something on this clean ship right now." She smiled and moved towards the briefing room of the ship, a big map hologram was at the center and she started to study the environment, so that if stuff went wrong she could find an exit quickly. "Jedi... Pathetic Jedi... Look at them. Always late on the crime scene." She shook her head, what was she talking about? And why did she talk to herself right now... It was not right... Ah... The tattoos, always the tattoos... She didn't want everyone to see her the weakest, so she just sat still and didn't talk, almost become a shadow between the group. Padawan [member="Nellja"] was already talking a lot so there was no time for them to realize she was all silent and unhappy today. "Don't speak... Don't make me look weak in front of others, alright? You will go soon enough so just shut up." She talked... to herself. She already did some research on this subject but nothing important was in the data. "We'll see." she answered. Well if somebody saw her they would think she was going crazy.

Then taking a big breath, she returned to the hall, pretty much everyone was speaking about this. "So... Do we have an escape plan if stuff goes wrong? Because I don't think this mission will be all sunshine and rainbows. And what if the scientist is not cooperative as we think and it just wants to get us into a trap? Less Jedi to worry about. I mean the Sith would think like that if it's a trap." The second time she opened her mouth, she felt like the tattoos got the control for a second so she immediately stopped talking.
