There had been a lot happening, more work for the jedi, more chances to advance in your areas of learning and most importantly there were changes underfoot. The jedi were getting a chance to change and expand as one of the main groups who made for the jedi their equipment and was run by jedi had begun making them more streamlined ships. That would allow them some more chances on how best to use and work among the jedi. The Saotome freighter, made to resemble the ancient jedi ship the ebon hawk.... kind of. In truth this ship was a little larger, a little better armed and bulky but it also meant there was a lot of work they had the better systems set up. "We have plenty set up here in the ship and it is made for the jedi to be able to use. Even the personal speeders are here and we are able to use it for going around. Some of the new speeders that have been set up are heavily armed." Morse stood around as the machine shop of the ship. Equipment laid out and ready where it can be used. "We also got a lot of space for equipment."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade casually inspected the ship as she paced around sections of it. Bending over to inspect some of the space equipment, she looked up at her padawan [member="Morse Sunrider"] half smiling. "I'm impressed," she stated as she got back up fully on to her feet. "This Saotome freighter looks quite the ship." Jade then faced her padawan again and eagerly asked as if she herself were the padawan and the padawan the master. "So how shall we put all this equipment to use and put the ship through its paces?"

Morse gave her a look and well saotome freighter sounded so impersonal but ah well.. she was uncertain about it in terms of the name to give it. Seemed like it should have something to do with their family but you needed to be careful about it. "Thank you, I know the jedi have been working to make things for all of us and this ship is just one of the them." She knew a few other things and opening up one of the floor panels that normally would have been considered a smugglers compartment here in the ship it was just part of what they had. The extra gear laid out and the racks modular ascending up so she could look at some of the bodysuits for protection they would be abl to use when she had a grin on her face. "We have protective gear as well for ourselves. So do you know where we should go of want to consult the holocron?"

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"The ship looks impressive," said Jade with her trademark cocky grin on her face. "As for the smuggler like floor panel openings, no dramas there, I'm a Jedi however I don't mind those little sneaky things - besides you never know when that sort of stuff can come in handy. You never know, we could find ourselves smuggling ourselves in them one time." Jade said humourously.

"Now as for what to name the ship, yes I agree, something to do with the Sunriders would be a good fit. Um........ I'm not probably one for choosing great names though. How about the 'Soul of Sunrider' or something?" Jade shrugged not really able to come up with something better. "I dunno, but I'm very open to suggestions."

"As for where we should go, I haven't the faintest clue........ So the holocron we consult it is." Jade said raising both arms in the air and very energetically.

Hahaha that was a good attitude to have, the smuggling compartments served several purposes and one which was they could hide in them nd let the ship auto pilot itself. A smirk on her face when she was going looking at the ship name itself. The Soul of Sunrider was a very good name she could see while marking it down as a name int he computer. The Sunrider's would be able to use it for themselves, she would have a chance to work with her own body armor and have protection here. "There will be something I am sure of it in the holocron it is one of the biggest artifacts." Staying there while she went towards the cockpit seeing along the small droids that were working. The course was set to get them up into space as she set the autopilot. "There is a small area." She led the way to the lift and going up to the second level of the ship, more rooms and rooms that were being customized for them with a small jedi training room lined with Duraplast for protection from the lightsaber strikes if they came. The central thing she made here for the holocron as she could see it. The Sunrider holocron was ready for use.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade followed [member="Morse Sunrider"] to the ship's cockpit first, subtly checking it out as the padawan set a course to send them up into space in a geosynchronous orbit around the planet, and then followed her back out and up a lift to a serious of rooms and finally to a small Jedi room. Morse pointed Jade over to a rather larger then normal holocron.

Jade stood there a moment, staring down at the artefact, rubbing the palm of her hand across her mouth thinking. Finally she turned gazing at her padawan, before stepping towards the holocron to sit in seiza position. Jade invited her padawan forward and to sit also in seiza, but opposite her. "We will do this together, as master and apprentice, but before we begin our meditation, is there anything specific you seek my padawan?"

Morse was looking at her family and her master as well this was for them. it was their family so it made sense to do it together before she gave a small nod of her head. "Agreed." She waited for a moment feeling something nervous in the pit of her stomach there before she was touching it and waiting for her master. The holocron humming when it activated with a glow that was soft and appeared wearing green robes with fiery red hair while the lightsaber was there. "Welcome." She said it and was looking at them while Morse looked up seeing what they jedi master and she was a master might present to them. "I am Nomi and based on what i am feeling I am glad to see our family has survived. In this holocron is the collected knowledge fo the Sunrider family throughout the years all have continued to add to it."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade's eyes widened upon seeing the image of Nomi Sunrider speak to them. Jade had heard of the great master, long dead now for thousands of years through the stories her now late husband Qi-Xian Sunrider had told her.

"It is a humble honour to speak to you Master Sunrider," Jade bowed momentarily even though it was clear that the person she was speaking to wasn't really a real person. "I along with my padawan, also a Sunrider consult this holocron for guidance and knowledge."

Jade then extended a hand forward towards her padawan, gesturing for her to put forward what exactly it was they sought, in hope that the wisdom of the legendary Nomi Sunrider would guide them along in the right direction.

She was looking at the hologram and her master was there. With a look on her face so that she would be able to watch with her master. The gatekeeper fo the holocron was providing them information about all of it. A few interesting ideas that she might be able to have. "Welcome then to both of you, I am glad to see that however long it has been our family has continued to serve the jedi order." Morse was curious until information came up in the hologram projection giving them a better view of the galaxy marking locations where the jedi had been heading off to search and see. Morse knew the old strongholds and places the jedi had been or where they had temples. There were other ones scattered across the galaxy when she could see some parts of it and pointed out to their location here. Bringing up the small region. "We are here, near Voss." The gatekeeper was there bringing up some fo the other worlds. "When the jedi were in battle against Exar Kun and the sith we faced them across the entire galaxy. We had a number of temples out of the way that may have been kept a secret."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade focused on the images before her, locations of known temples and the locations of others that were possibly still in existence and scattered across the Galaxy. She then looked back across to her padawan.

"This is all very informative, especially the possibly of exploring any given number of those lost temples. However what is that you wish for us to discover." Jade looked a little skeptical. "I mean what would be secrets would any of these temples contain that we don't already know." Jade continued to stare up at the images before, concentrating which caused several wrinkles to momentarily appear on her forehead, revealling her true age, before they quickly disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.

"If its something in particular you seek, please say it now, as it will help us take the correct steps in the right direction." Jade said spreading out both her hands in a gesture to encourage her padawan.

Hmm Morse was looking at it and at her master when she was wondering about it. A way so that she might be able to decide where they would be going. The holocron seemed to be thinking abot it and leaving them with the time to check it all out. She was looking up at all of it there though when she tapped one of the images on the map. "Well someplace the jedi likely haven't been able to go to because it was lost. We don't have may places but I know a few that are on this map but not one the ones we have or labeled at least. The jedi have been mapping and exploring with relays and stations to have a better understanding." Morse smirked though seeing a temple that could take them before she brought up the School of Hidden Wisdom and the planet with coordinates. "This looks interesting a place the jedi haven't been before.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade listened to the words of her padawan as she watched the images float before. Indeed it was a lot of information to soak in although the mention of the School of Hidden Wisdom did immediately grab her attention. She thought to herself for a while and was still thinking once the holograms from the holocron stopped. Jade quickly brushed her own shoulder with her hands before getting back up on her feat and extended her own hand out to help [member="Morse Sunrider"] back up too.

"Well I don't think we really need to duchess this further," Jade said in a low pitched voice smiling. "We shall depart for the School of Hidden Wisdom," knowing that was precisely where her padawan desired to go. "Let us prepare out things after we set course to the planet's coordinates. Since we are already in space, we only need to break orbit from the planet we are currently orbiting, and then make the jump to light speed.

 

[Morse Sunrider]

Morse grinned as well for herself as she thought about it, that was more then perfect it was great. The school of hidden wisdom could have any number of things for the jedi and providing new information to some of the others might go a long way... Or she might just be able to train herself better as there was a lot that they could do. Morse spoke. "Thank you." She said it as the holocron was deactivating for a time and a few moment here or there when they were getting a chance to head trough the ship. A lot of the panels and rooms with equipment for them were giving Morse a chance to set the course for all of them. "We'll set the course and while going we'll be able to do whatever else we want to for passing the time."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

With the holocron now de-activated and the course set for the planet with the School of Hidden Wisdom, it gave master and padawan sometime to relax, gather their thoughts or do whatever. As they walked through the ship's hallways, Jade spoke out, her voice her usual kind and gentle tone. "So Morse, we have half a day's trip at most until we reach our destination. I'll leave it up to you on how you want to pass the time. You could have some timeout to yourself to relax or meditate, we could practice some lightsabre training, or we could just do some recreational stuff like play games. Its up to you, I'm not at all phased in what you want to do and will play it according to you."

[member="Morse Sunrider"]

 

[Morse Sunrider]

[member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]

Hmm thinking aout the best way to pass the time was something that could be important. Morse kew there was a lot that went into everything here. She liked the idea of getting to train and keep training. For the jedi themselvves here she could work on more of it. "I am for training, the more training the better." It wasn't like a jedi could stop learning there was always going to be someone, something stronger then you out there and you wanted to be careful and practical so she would be looking to work on more of it. With a small smirk though she had her gear and they could get it going in here as the construction made these ships to give them the best chance to really go out and learn.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

"Very well padawan, we shall train then." Jade responded. She somewhat felt a little disappointment. Although she agreed that one could never stop learning and that constant mediation and training was imperative, it was also important to get some time out. Perhaps her padawan would in time understand that concept too. She shrugged thinking that her padawan still had much training to undergo anyway and her keenness to want to constantly learn was the right attitude in the end.

Jade ignited her lightsabre and invited her padawan to do the same. "Okay then," Jade said cranking her head a little to the right. "Lets spar, any lightsabre combat form you are competent at will do. Begin."

[member="Morse Sunrider"]

Morse stood there looking at her jedi master with a small look on her face. She was prepared to work with her on the different saber skills. Getting her training blade when she was standing there. in the outfit before she secured her hair ready to be used here. "Alright lets do this." she said it more to herself while looking at the blade her master had activated. Morse let her blade go to both hands, saber at the ready and the snap his of the smoke grey blade as it appeared with a look on her face of being prepared. She knew the benefits of saber combat and also was looking to outside of the training room go for a usual form zero style and think of other ways to help herself before she had to use the blade. "Alright I am ready master."

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade immediately ignited her own lightsabre and acrobatically charged at her padawan. Of course she was mindful to backoff a little since she didn't want to inadvertently hurt her own student. Jade's blade sizzled and cracked as Jade flipped and jumped clearly practicing Form 4 or the Ataru form of lightsabre combat.

"Stop me from constantly moving around. Bring the fight in close to me." Jade spoke the words to her padawan as she moved and [member="Morse Sunrider"] did her best to defend against her aggressively charging master. "Switch to Form 3 or Soresu padawan." Jade called out to her student, giving her a hint to take the fight to a closer quarter style combat and ultimately prevent Jade from continuing with her acrobatic stunts, and forcing her to switch forms too. "C'mon Morse, you can do it, we have trained similar scenarios many times before."

 

[Morse Sunrider]

[member="Cynna Jade Sunrider"]

Morse was looking at her master ad allowing the force energies to come through as she moved. THoughts and actions turning over in her mind as she held the blade and went from djem so to a soresu stance she could use. Watching and tracking her master who was moving around with ateru here. Unable to keep some of the tracks and areas before she was moving with her saber now to defend and catch her master more then stop her. She needed to be abel to keep up as the force flowed through her body where she could allow the force to push outwards from her body with a look on her face of determination here. Unsure about all of it but she was moving to get a blade lock with her master so she can try to hold her in place.

 

[Cynna Jade Sunrider]

Jade felt some uncertainty in her padawan as they sparred. Hesitation, unsureness, those were not good traits, yet [member="Morse Sunrider"] was determined. That was definitely good at least.

"C'mon Morse, you know what to do, don't think, don't hesitate, let the Force guide you through." Jade urged her padawan on as she then decided to back off just a fraction, ease off the intensity of her attack, just enough for her padawan to hopefully seize the opportunity and get the better of her.
