Veino glanced back and bit back a curse. Time was of the essence. He took several quick breaths to calm himself completely, and then he lowered his shields, and tried to will that serenity towards Voroll. He had no idea if it worked. "Voroll! Got to move!"

 

[Voroll]

Maybe it did not, or maybe it did. What did happen was that Voroll moved. Suddenly energised, with probably adrenaline, he pushed his feet against the falling pipe, propelling himself through the air towards the very end of the first section of the course. He knew what to do and when to do it, as if the idea had been placed into his mind by another being. And when he did land, he rolled forwards, substantially reducing the pain from the fall and stopping him from breaking a leg, or two.

Veino let out a sigh of relief. He'd made it. So far, so good. They'd pull through in this one, definitely. Maybe not win, but there'd be a chance. Hopefully. He glanced back towards @[member="Jared Starchaser"]. "Almost there!" Adrenaline was surging through him at this point and the world was intensely surreal and it made him almost giddy.

They really needed to do something to get rid of those Force bugs that were running about. They were Imperial Knights, not some side show circus act. Jared really didn’t approve of a wasteful use of the Force, the body needed to be tested just as much as the Force. Sure, stopping them was a good use of the Force, but getting through the course? The body needed to be used. Gaining his balance and calling the Force to him as the pipe was lifted, Jared was doing his best to hold his position and not lose his cool.

Looking for the next step, Jared nodded. He made a move at the right time to jump to the next pipe. They weren’t far off. “Hold it together, guys.” Right, he was in charge, or something. They could make this. Almost done with challenge one, thankfully.

“Way to keep it together. What was step two?” Simple, adapt and overcome.

[Voroll]

“Oh great, more pipes!” Voroll moaned as he started onto the next area: The Gateway to Vengeance. An ominous name that filled the 20 year old with little hope. Yet he had to continue onwards to beat the “Force bugs” his team had so affectionately named some comrades more prone to using the Force.
The name stuck despite his understanding of their reasons; the Force was a tool to be used to achieve ones goals. In this case winning this course was a goal, as was moving a pipe to slow down another team. They had the means to gain an advantage, so they used it. There were no honourable or noble actions where the Force was concerned. Only ones that gained advantages.

He pressed onwards, towards a horizontal pipe surrounded on each side by narrow, close-fitted metal tubes, like walls. It was a squeeze, and those with a claustrophobic disposition would have difficulty passing through it. But he pushed himself through, stepping carefully to avoid his foot slipping through the occasional gap in the wall of pipes.
This walled-walkway eventually came to an end, so he had to get inventive. Despite not being able to use the Force to aid him, or any knowledge on doing so, he pushed himself up the pipes using his back and feet. He slid up them and eventually swapped his left foot to the other side so that each foot held him against adjacent walls. His gloved hands pulled and feet alternated until he reached the top of them. From there he could see @[member="Jared Starchaser"] making his way to the end of the Carcass Crossfire and he assumed @[member="Veino Garn "] was somewhere close-by, but obscured by pipes in other directions.
