Jordun wandered through Yutan's woods with his head down. He was supposed to be with the other Jedi at the temple, but Jordun realized that he needed time for himself. Temptation was clouding his mind, he need to clear his thoughts. As he walked through the trees mindlessly, he stopped to find a small pond. the pond water was clear and there was a large boulder at the shore. Jordun sat on the boulder and thought to himself, "What is going on with me..?". As he rubbed his eyes and yawned, Jordun thought of life if he wasn't a Jedi in training; he would probably move to Naboo and start a family, maybe be a farmer. Jordun laughed at that thought, there is no way he was going to be a farmer.

Then he thought of things that lead to the dark side: Lust, Fear, Anger, Hate. These things can destroy a person and build them up for evil....

 

[Alyona Volkovna (Алёна)]

Objective D
Post: 1/20

The Jedi kept her pace relaxed; somewhat swift to those lacking her long shanks. Alyona was stepping quietly along the edge of the woods that surrounded the Temple, several kilometers out from the landing zone from whence she'd come. Her boots crunched softly on the leaf-laden ground as she passed through the underbrush that grew more thickly toward the plains. The sunlight was sifting through the canopy, which was less dense than on worlds like Kashyyyk. When they had arrived Alyona's first move had been to separate herself from the group, and she still hadn't figured out why. She did not feel uncomfortable around her fellow Jedi, nor did she feel particularly depressed or unsociable. What Alyona thought she needed was time for reflection; she still had not managed to commit herself to her Master's way of seeing life and death and violence's role in mediation. Jakku had been a turning point of sorts of her, yet it had not successfully swayed her mind. Pacifism was not something Alyona's people, the Echani, were well versed in, as combat played a central role in their culture.
Alyona had therefore chosen to focus her studies on pacifist arts and methods, curious if knowledge and instruction may manifest themselves into practice and finally faith. She had chosen to start where few bothered to go these days: The principles of Form Zero. Alyona wanted something raw to train her mind and expand her thinking. She was very well trained with her lightsaber and to use her body as a weapon. But where her training failed her was in finding ways to avoid having to use a weapon to begin with. Alyona held true to the principle that the Force was for defense, never attack, however she rarely attempted to position herself out of the path of an incoming fight; she was a combatant at heart.
And she wanted to change that.

 

[Commander Lusk]

Objective: E storm bandit stronghold
Location: Inbound Republic Dropships
Allies: Republic
4/20

The first thing Lusk saw when he entered the small office was a knife that tore down the side of his visor leaving a trail of sparks against the metal of the helmet. His attacked showed himself by turning the corner in which he struck from to plunge down on the knife in a stabbing motion towards Lusk's soft spot on the armor.

Catching the man's hand by the wrist the clone's exo suit stopped the bandit in his tracks. With a squeeze of augmented metal and the strength of a wookie the bandit screamed in pain only to have Lusk break the man's arm out of place driving the blade up through the man's chin and through the roof of his mouth, and with his free hand a powered exo suit punch sent the bandit flying across the room and over the service counter.

"You alright Sir?" An Isard clone said to the commander.

"Better than him, eyes on the mission troopers." Lusk said as he picked his rifle up from the sling.

Clearing the office building of any other bandits the clones set up for a brief moment to survey the terrain they would have to soon cross to get to the main stronghold.

 

[Rafeesh]

Post:2/20
Objective: D
Allies: TBD
Location: Yutan Mountain side

Rafeesh had thought about the events that had occurred many times, trying to discerns the meaning of that which he had seen. He sometimes wondered if any of it were real. But the crystal he had was proof that indeed it was. It became a question of if there were things that he had missed, specific words used or if one of those ghosts he had seen had been trying to help. He wondered why his old Sith friend had come to help him. He was a Jedi now, why would she help? She was long dead, was it only a memory of her? Could it be an actual Force Ghost? He did not know, he had yet to meet one in another situation.

She had told him to find a purpose. To find new people to care for and continue living for. He had yet to find more than his intent to repair the damage he had caused as a Sith. He wanted to show the galaxy that he was a Jedi now, no longer the Sith that had been. He was reborn, purified by the light that had been shown to him through forgiveness. He was grateful for it.

Trees overhead blurred by, as the roaring engines of the speeder drew the vehicle forwards. Eyes unfocused, with every branch that passed and the continued whir of the bike, Ella was tormented with every flash. She relived the Black Pyramid every second, her mind unable to process that she was no longer at the bane of Darth Vornskr and his machinations. She moaned, yelled and shrieked. Her training had evaporated. She was no longer aided by the Force. What laid in the lap of Mantic Dorn was no longer a Jedi Knight, but a shadow of one.

 

[Nico Ike Qarmast]

[member="Corvus Raaf"] [member="Dune Rhur"] [member="Ben Corscifine"]

Nico looked at the grandmaster and the others who joined in while she nodded in agreement with a smile. "Then we'll be getting on it and scanning." She gave a look though seeing some of the others while preparing it with her datapad just looking over her things. "Have any requests? We might stumble upon some ancient lightside artifact lost since the beginning of the jedi or something and it would be all stuck in some bow with a designation instead of being put to use." The joke and smile while there were two other padawans there with them as she moved checking the saber gauntlets upgrades. "Also was so hoping to get to try the upgrades to the systems on these."

[member="Lady Kay"]

The padawan was moving and grooving now while she ran through the jungle to meet with traders. She just had a big dopey grin on her face while she looked at all the people and was walking. Spying a woman in the distance as the short padawan moved with her large bushy tail swished and she had some of the nuts offering them to her. "Food senator?" Saying it with a large smile and cracking a nut shell with her front teeth while looking around letting some of the smaller animals run around between her feet as she walked. "At least I think you are a senator though I might be wrong I am like that sometimes and he masters at the temple say I need to learn to stop and pay attention instead of just talking and talking really fast without catching my breath but I tell them that how else am I supposed to learn anything about anybody without working with them." She was saying it while walking and smiling more as she finally caught her breath.

 

[Kay-Larr]

Objective: B

As Kay stepped inside of the Fortress, [member="Raya-Tat"] caught up to her and offered her some nuts. She took a couple of them. "Thank you." Raya soon let out a river of words, which gave Kay some time to eat. After the Padawan finished, Kay answered her. "I am a Senator, yes. Of Commenor. My name is Kay. What's yours?"

The supplies continued to be brought in while Kay and Raya were off to the side. Work was already under way and she was thankful that so many knew what they were doing and could fit right in with the local engineers.

 

[Mantic Dorn]

Jedi gathering
Post 6/20

Mantic felt pain, sorrow, confusion from the woman. He braced himself to not let his mind wander around what possibly could have wrecked her into this state.
Keeping a soothing hand on her back he tried his best to give her some comfort during the journey toward the jedi enclave. No doubt the grand master and others would sense that something was coming.

Mantic came to a halt outside the main entrance of the newly discovered temple and lifted [member="Ella Nova"] in his arms, taking the steps as carefully as he could.
Not sure what was going on in the meting he placed [member="Ella Nova"] on the floor and wrapped the blanket around her.

He leaned in over her and as he stroked her fore head he tried to get some contact.

"Can you hear me? You are safe. You are within a jedi enclave. We want to help you."

Ella was limp. Her eyes unfocused, breathing shallow. All she saw was him. Darth Vornskr. She was tormented by what he had done. He had broken her. The countless days he had left her in the bottomless hell in the Black Pyramid, starving, thirsty and alone to her thoughts, misery and pain. Words had no affect on him. He would not end the war. He had turned her Jedi Master to the dark side, after plucking her from deaths door.

Unresponsive to Mantic, Ella was lost and gone.

 

[Commander Lusk]

Objective: E storm bandit stronghold
Location: Inbound Republic Dropships
Allies: Republic
5/20

With his helmet's visor zooming in on the main stronghold of the bandit encampment the clone commander began to soak in every little detail. The stronghold itself really wasn't much of a fortress, it was a mill or some type of foundry by the looks of it converted and repurposed with a few barricades placed in strategic choke points. The doors themselves remained civilian grade which meant they could be blasted open with some detention cord or charges, overall it looked to be an easy assault, breach, and clear.

"Hugo, Razz, you see those two gunners on the cat walk pinning down bravo squad?" Red Lusk said quietly as he kept looking through his visor.

"Affirmative, eyes on targets." The mantis clone known as Hugo responded.

"You two are gonna pop up and waste those bastards, while the rest of us push the barricade with bravo and take it. Fall in behind us once they are removed." Lusk said giving his commands to the men.

"Roger that sir." The two clones said in unison with the other.

"Bravo, this is Lusk. We're gonna take care of those gunners, when we do rush the barricade with us and we'll envelop and swarm." The clone said in a commanding voice.

"You got it sir, we'll move when the gunners go down." an Isard squad leader responded back.

"Now!" Lusk yelled.

The two clones popped up from their cover and began to fire on the two gunners on the cat walks, killing them both in a flash of bullets and blasters. After they had been killed Lusk and his two squads were now rushing the main barricade to take out the enemy.

She looked at the senator and dummy she had totally forgotten to say her name while looking her over and at the supplies with interest on her face. "I am Raya from the jedi order." She didn't know if she had said that either but why not they had a whole lot of things to do here and could easily get distracted while she was moving around almost skipping and happy to do anything. "THis place is awesome, nothing like the artificial forests we have back home, and the food there is so much of it." She had large eyes taking in some more of it before moving around the senator and swishing her tail like a pet with excitement.

 

[Nico Ike Qarmast]

6/20

Nico looked at the ones there as Corvus needed to handle something and the jedi knight raised an eyebrow. She was technically the highest ranked one in the room for the moment while her attention was going to [member="Dune Rhur"] and [member="Ben Corscifine"]. "Alright, while she is gone I guess I'll do stuff with you. I don't know the lesson plan but there is some things in them hills and we can train the rare skills jedi neglect like how to move and groove." Alright so she could teach her padawans but ah well she wasn't so great on the fly... still seeing the two of them work to keep up with her in the jungle and trees leaping and bounding over things could be very funny. "So ready to go?"

 

[Dune Rhur]

[member="Nico Minuro Ike"]

The Bith nodded.

"Yes, ready to go."

He really wasn't because he had little idea what would happen. At least Yutan was beautiful, he thought to himself. Maybe he'd ask to be assigned here when he was promoted. If he was promoted, he reminded himself. No garuntee of that happening.

At the very least, it would be a nice change of scenery. Lothal was becoming more like home but it lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. Perhaps Yutan had it. But that was for future consideration.

 

[Ben Corscifine]

[member="Dune Rhur"] [member="Nico Minuro Ike"]
Objective A
Post 2/20

Duty always calls, I guess.

Ben felt a little selfish at his upset as Corvus left the padawans to attend to something else. He had hoped to have more time with his master. He watched her disappear into the jungle with a sigh, hoping he would see her again soon.

He wasn't really sure what the knight with whom they had been left was talking about..."how to move and groove" seemed like a fairly useless skill for a Jedi to use for practical purposes. Ben rarely ever found himself in a pickle he needed to dance his way out of. He never imagined having to foxtrot a Sith to death.

Still, he was here, and he could use the cheering up.

Plus, if Dune had agreed to dancing, of all people, Ben could go along with it. He bowed deferentially to the small Jedi before them.

​"Yes, ma'am. Ready to go. Lead the way."

Kay couldn't help but laugh a little as [member="Raya-Tat"] spoke of the natural forests. "Yes. It is a lovely place. Pleased to meet your acquaintance Raya. Lots of food and supplies are needed for this Fortress here. It will help protect everyone in case there's an invading army. People can hide in it while others can fight from it. I just hope that that never happens..."

She hated war, hated battles and fighting. In her mind there was no better waste of lives, credits and resources. The only ones that came out on top were the weapons manufacturers.

Nico looked at them with a nod of her head before she clapped a little and bounced on her feet. "Alright then lets get going, make sure you have your underwear clean and dry cause there is a good chance we might end up getting very very wet." She said it while motioning and heading out with her saber gauntlets on her wrists as she set them and held the sasori gloves. The reactive material gleaming with the crystal shine as well as the phrik within it. They were like jedi crushgaunts designed to break crab armor while she was walking into the jungle turning around with her path directed by the force to keep from tripping with her mass of bracelets and earrings. "So come on, tell me about yourself so I am not the only one. I am Nico."

Raya looked at her and nodded that that was good, lots of food and lots of stuff to do while she was moving around helping some of the people before she stopped and sat on a crate looking at the men and the droids. "A fort is always fun, we used to have a tree house on the ship in the garden to jump out and practice flying. It was so much fun but everything here smells like something I don't know what. There is no filters and scrubbers, no machines or metal." She moved her tail and wrapped it around to be in front of herself while looking at a lot of the things with the senator. "So do you expect the war to come here?"

 

[Dune Rhur]

[member="Nico Minuro Ike"] [member="Ben Corscifine"]

Dune followed along, observing the mass of jewellery. That it didn't snag truly was the work of the define. The gauntlets looked like some sort of Mandalorian crush gauntlets to him. Interesting, he supposed, to those so inclined.

Ducking a brach, he made his reply.

"I'm Dune, I've been with the Order since I was four. There's not much more to tell, honestly."

[member="Raya-Tat"] was indeed a curious one. And quite energetic. It was as though she had gallons of caf. Some teas had that effect too if drunk in large quantities.

"Do I expect war to come here? Probably. Though I'd rather it didn't. Unfortunately we can't be too naive about such things. So we all have to be prepared. Even in the Senate we have guards protecting us, even during times of peace."
