What’s wrong with the supplies we have?

Deciding on discretion being the better part of valor, Caltin decided not to voice his immediate thought. He always kept his ships stocked with gear and provisions for extended amounts of time if necessary, this was no different. Oh well. Walking along a familiar path, the big man could not help but remember the spirited debates with Maz Kanata about how Dok-Ondar was either a “swindler” or a “good guy”.

Speaking of…

I’ll catch up… unless you want to watch. The big guy made a beeline for a center stall. It was the biggest one there, and anyone who had ever been there before knew why. It was Ondar’s.

There was a relatively young (for their age) Ithorian who was intimidating the buyers who were perusing his wares.Almost constantly patting a VERY familiar (to Caltin) shiny cylinder clipped to his belt. He was threatening anyone from trying to scam him, he was “Trained in the Jedi Arts”(The actual Jedi here knew the truth) and he would cut them down with the greatest of ease.

Dok was your father, wasn’t he? Grandfather maybe? The look of shock on the Ithorian’s face as he was now face to face with the big guy.

[Grandfather… what business is it of yours.]

Did he give your Master Mundi’s lightsaber, or did the apple not fall far from the tree and you steal it?

[How dare you, I am a Jedi. I was trained and made this lightsaber on my own.]

Really? What type of emitter? One crystal or two? What kind? Where’s the activation button?

[I… I will not have my honor questioned.]

If you can prove me wrong and the blade is any color other than permafrost blue, I will publicly apologize and give you my ship.

[I don’t have to acknowledge this…]

The crowd that was forming was saying otherwise. Ondar held the weapon awkwardly (backwards) and soon had it pulled out of his hands and into Caltin’s.

That’s enough. If there was a button, you would have killed yourself as you were holding the weapon backwards. Igniting the weapon, it was a sense of pride in Caltin that he looked at the blue blade before disengaging it. This is not a complete loss for you as I will transfer twenty thousand credits to your account. Much more than the cost of it.

[Ondar wanted to argue but could see there was no point as he watched Caltin clip the saber to his belt.)

As Master Caltin headed into the Den of Antiquities, Master Malcolm walked down the path into the Savi and Son Salvage yard. "I'm looking to acquire some scrap metal," he said to the Twi'lek at the transactor counter under the ragged awning. "Is the proprietor available today?"

The Twi'lek smiled. "I'm Kembe Arda," she said, "and yes, she's in the office, but she's rather busy at the moment. Is there something I can assist you with, Master Jedi?"

Malcolm smirked. "Very astute observation, Kembe," he replied. "I was hoping to get her insight, though your keen eye indicates that you may in fact be able to assist me as well. I am Master Malcolm Aramis Ironmaster, of the Silver Jedi Concord. My colleagues and I have traveled to Batuu to locate and reopen the ancient Jedi Temple outside of Black Spire Outpost. One of my colleagues has gone to speak with the antiquarian next door in the hopes that he'll have Dok-Ondar's notes and maps, but I suspect that the traditions that you and the Gatherers have maintained for all these centuries might hold some insight as well."

Kembe Arda nodded. "I'll go get Mistress Mari," she said. "I suspect she'll want to talk with you as well." The Twi'lek scholar and scrapper ducked through the office door as Malcolm waited.

 

[Jairdain]

When they arrived, the next event surprised Jairdain. The Grandmaster pulled her to the side and asked her what she saw through the Force. She had always seen and felt with the Force, so this wasn't anything new. Being asked to display it was, though.

"There is a sense of something ancient here. Something I can't quite put my finger on exactly."

As she spoke to Matsu, she started walking and allowed the Force to guide them. It took them to the left of where they were and around a few buildings.

Kembe Arda returned after a few minutes and beckoned to Malcolm. "Right this way, Master Jedi," she said, guiding him towards the office door. "Mistress Mari will see you now."

Malcolm entered the office, full of ancient banners and yellowed duraplast armor dating back to the days of the Old Republic and the Galactic Empire which had succeeded it. A middle-aged woman turned from the desk against the wall. "You must be Master Malcolm Ironmaster," she said. "I've been waiting to finally meet you after your correspondence over the last year. My distant ancestor, Savi, believed so strongly in the Force and in the purpose and mission of the Jedi that he started the Gatherers to preserve the ancient knowledge and traditions. He never got the chance to meet a Jedi in person, though, even while the Resistance maintained a secret base here on Batuu. I think he'd have liked to have met you." She stood up from her chair. "So how can I assist the Jedi?"

"Surely the Gatherers have managed to locate the ancient High Republic-era Jedi temple that once stood beyond the borders of Black Spire Outpost?" Malcolm asked. "If you could guide me and my colleagues there, we would be most grateful. We hope to reestablish the Temple, restoring it to its prior state and establishing a Jedi presence on Batuu once more."

Caltin Vanagor Malcolm Ironmaster Jairdain

THe two were heading out into the outpost and the jedi grandmaster was there as Jairdain who joined her as she was moving. Hands clasped in front of herself and she was allowing the force to flow throughout her as she generated it from the world. "It is a strangeness... a different taste compared to some that we have encountered." She said it when she was looking around. "The world itself is peaceful enough, I can see why the jedi came here in the past." She said it and was looking around more. "We'll have to see... the temples condition we should be able to improve with the solarite stone and force trees. Another nod on the network itself can only expand the intelligence of the choushin and it would allow it to improve what it teaches or retains for the jedi."

The Ithorian antiquities dealer was still a bit intimidated by what was going on. Of course he was not going to be standing there getting aggressive. It’s just that the sentient didn’t want a Jedi there, he wanted to conduct “business” and having a goody two shoes wasn’t going to help.

[May I ask why you are still here?]

You know why I am still here. Ondar kept notes, information, and more importantly, maps on the area, including no doubt the old Temple. Caltin was not expecting anything to be there, but there no doubt was more detailed entryways to be mapped out. Sure, it was all coming back to him, being here, but they could not rely on his memory. A record was important.

[I’m sure that I don’t know. So, if you don’t mind…]

Oh, I don’t mind waiting until you figure it out, after all, you have people to swi…SELL… knocko…ITEMS too… More and more of the purveyors seemed to be gaining interest in what he was saying, another crowd was forming,

[Fine, how can I help you.]

I need his maps and notes on the area. I know he made them and that you have them. If you are anything like him, you have them.

[... and just what do you mean “Like him?”]

Someone who kept records and appreciated the antiquity of them.

Letting out an annoyed exhale, the Ithorian nodded.

[Give me one moment.]

After a few moments of rustling in the back, Ondar came out with several rolled up scrolls and some data crystals.

[This is everything.] Caltin nodded, he didn’t buy a word of it, but was willing to let it go, depending on how good this information was. [A detailed layout of your former Temple, notes on the flora and fauna and the location of your hidden vault.] The vault, yes… he had forgotten about that.

How much? The look of shock on the Ithorian’s face as he had the opportunity to gouge the big guy. Or was it another verbal trap?

[Just take them and go.]

Don’t mind if I do. Gathering the items and handing Ondar a datacrystal he would soon find 25k credits on, he headed out. Making his way out of the shop and headed to Savi and Son’s. That was the most logical place that Master Ironmaster would have gone to.

There wasn’t much to the place, but that was to be expected, it was “salvage” after all, but looked to be well run and an honest operation. Something he could appreciate.

Kembe Arda returned to the transactor counter at the back of the salvage yard just as Master Caltin came down the stairs from the direction of the Den of Antiquities. Waving, she smiled. "Bright suns, Master Jedi," she said. "I trust you're Master Ironmaster's colleague?"

Inside the office, Mistress Mari nodded. "I know of where you're asking about, but I'm afraid nearly anything of historical value was stripped from the Temple centuries ago, back when Dok-Ondar was still operating the Den of Antiquities," she said. "That said, it would be nice to have a Jedi presence on Batuu once again. I'll have a few of my Gatherers join us in the expedition."

 

[Jairdain]

"This will likely be the first time I've been asked to rebuild an ancient temple. The ones I have worked on before were all modern and just needed a few repairs and clean up."

After saying this, Jairdain let out a huff through her nose and sneezed. Something had set off her allergies, and she didn't know what.

"What happened here, Master Ike?"

There had not been much time given to her to study where they were going. To say Jairdain was going in blind was way too accurate. She did not know anything about Batuu.

She was walking through it and could see more... her eyes searching while the rest reached out for it. In the temple and within their grasp she was checking on it as Jairdain asked the important question.... "I am not sure, the empire and the first order overtook it at various points in history. The plague would have come here but I am not certain of anything that might have happened... if we are lucky there is a chance everything is fine... likely we will face some form of opposition depending on the disposition of the locals which Caltin and Malcolm are working to gauge." SHe said it and stayed there for a moment allowing the force to strentch out with her senses. "And restoring temples is one of the cornerstones of being a jedi... at least if you want to be able to use it. Leaving them a hazard for people."

The stairs were an interesting little tidbit, they were intricate and magnificent, something did not truly “fit” in a junkyard, but that was neither here nor there. Vanagor was never one to truly judge anyway, having been one to be on the receiving end of that so many times on his own. The question was one that brought a moment of contemplation on the big man’s part.

In a manner of speaking Master Vanagor at your service. I remember when this area was owned by the Ondar family… He did not mention “Dok” specifically. Let the speculation happen on its own. It was originally designated to be a Pod racing track.

Looking around in retrospective amusement, he let his thoughts trail.

Shaking his head as if awakening from a trance with a start, the big man looked on.

Apologies… memories… Showing the scrolls and sheets that he had managed to procure, Caltin just nodded.

Looking around, Caltin was actually looking like he was wanting to buy something. He was, a couple of things actually, mementos, and a gift for his wife, as well as his son. Not necessarily some cheap trinket but something cute that Caltin was looking for something meaningful, something that would remind him of his family. He had just found the perfect gift when his eyes caught sight of a beautiful, handmade necklace.

"This salvage yard was owned by Savi, Master Vanagor," Kembe Arda replied. "And it's passed down through the generations, with Mistress Mari as the current owner and the leader of the Gatherers. Mistress Mari is currently meeting with Master Ironmaster; if you'll follow me, you're welcome to join them."

Inside the office, Malcolm smiled. "I sense Master Vanagor has arrived," he said just before the door opened.

SHe moved swiftly... letting Jairdain follow as the jedi master shifted her senses and her hands. Moving aside brush and broken stone. She could get a better view of it and was taking it in. "Oh how this might have looked once upon a time." A smile was on her face though as she looked deeper and deeper into it. Following where the stone work was and mapping it out within her own mind. She could follow it though and pushing aside more debris that would overtake it without care she was directing her hand to the arisen and biots who would work on the temple itself. Sending smaller groups down and in with one of the mapper droids.. the small floating orb that scanned everything around itself. "Master Vanagor, what is the status in town?" She said it and was thereallowing the force to function and shimmer around herself as she was looking at the temple in different stages to see it.. flow walking to discern where they were.

Speak of the Boulder and the Boulder appears.

He didn’t expect anyone to get the reference, after all, he hadn’t been referred to as “a walking Boulder” since he was Knighted. A childish monicker, but one he embraced, of course he didn’t embrace the other moniker “Grumpy”, that an old friend gave him. That was a story for another day though, right now the big man pulled out the scrolls, and datapads that he could hold out.

Walking through the doorway.

I can’t speak on the details of them, but I have notes from Ondar, and scrolls. Pulling the buzzing comm-link out of his pocket and putting it into his ear, it was Master Ike.

Master Ike, yes, I was able to obtain scrolls and datapads of information on the area. I cannot confirm the validity of them yet, but if there is any truth, they should detail a lot of the information we could use.

He spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, but vague enough so that IronMaster would understand and no one else.

 

[Jairdain]

Listening to Matsu's answer, the master nodded and continued to guide their steps. Feeling through the Force, she was no stranger to the marks left by the Imperials and the First Order. While they were both essentially gone from the Galaxy, small splinter groups might still be around and active.

"I hope we don't meet any opposition."

If they did, she could provide support. With the many years she would live, she really should learn more offensive skills. Giving a mental shrug, Jairdain gave a simple nod when the Grandmaster contacted Caltin and Malcolm. She didn't need to be involved in that conversation. Even though she also had a comms device.

As the two arrived at the Temple, the workforce they had brought got busy.

"What can I do to help?"

"Good." She said it listening to Caltin on the comlink with a nod of her head she knew he couldn't see but she was looking at Jairdain who was there with her. "Bring them in and we can cross reference what we are looking at here." She said it while taking a place next to the other master with a nod. "No opposition would be a good thing but when has that ever happened?" She said it with a look but was offering it for some... there was also playing the odds they would get lucky. "Besides, think of it like this. If there is something here that could threaten... we are strong enough to clear it out which would only protect the people down the line." The jedi master said it and remained there for a moment while the ones they had with them were working on the entryway. THey were making some progress to clear it out.
