Matsu gave a nod of her head to that, she ate constantly to keep her energy up, she used the skills she had learned from other force sects like the Matukai who had near infinite stamina while still being able to purge and make their bodies immune to poisons. Her eyes flicked to Rianna while she walked more speaking. "It is not an easy thing to sense, no one looks to closely nowadays. It was one of the things I disagreed with in the jedi themselves, they had lost a great deal of comradely instead looks for ways to undermine and degrade each other." She was looking while getting another bite. "Which is why when I was told to leave I was happy strange as it is, I much prefer this. A small journey with a friend somewhere that is begging to be explored. From records this place hasn't been seen much since the times of the Empire and rebellion."

"The Empire" Rianna repeated, "oh my family has a history with the old Empire, as you are probably aware" She shook her head, Rianna had left the Republic out of fear of war with the Mandalorians, and the growing hatred of them. She had given up everything and gained more when she did. Yes many things had changed Jedi were always changing, and often Rianna was not sure how to react to them.

She had become slightly isolated. Except for meeting the unique that were able to remember they were all Jedi.

"I have always loved exploring, it is calming to the mind and spirit" She smiled, it would seem Matsu was lonely. Rianna understood.

"so, what did you say is our first stop?"

"We are going to a place where certain elements exist but they always have the rare and valuable stuff. Not many in the galaxy know where the meeting places of the invisible market are they are busy looking at the black market. Much richer clients, much more dangerous and exciting." The trip to the world was easier then the talking about it, hard to explain the most expensive stuff within the galaxy was being sold at a private marketplace you didn't actually ask the price of something. You only got in if you could pay or trade for something and Matsu was ensuring her body was ready for it while she ate and now looking at Rianna she spoke some more. "I recommend when we are there to make sure your valuables are secured and be ready for anything... usually just them to try and have a party but more things can happen."

"An invisible market, very interesting. Dangerous, Exciting, sounds like the kind of place one goes to get their adrenaline pumping, not so sure about the rareness of the items." She smiled, "But it would be quite intriguing to see what they do have, to see, and if allowed touch for a moment" She backed up slightly thinking of security, "I will secure all that I consider of value" There was not much that she considered of value.

Rianna at times only needed a moment to pick up a vibe off of an item to see where it had been, who had it, and at times the emotions of the person at the time. All were overwhelming, and too much could be draining.

"Are you looking for something particular for yourself?"

Matsu looked at her while she secured her equipment pack. THe invisible market was every bit of that but it was dangerous. SHe withdrew her get through the door. The blue runed cube was in her hand warm and prepared for entry but she highly doubted there would be someone who had anything of value that could be traded for this... She protected her lightside artifacts as the ship touched down and Harmony approached. "We have arrived." Matsu gave a nod of her head as she moved off towards the ramp doors opening them and motioning for Rianna to follow. "Just remember these are people and beings more dangerous, others might kill you for your valuables but these are the ones who if they want something will break a planet to pay for it. It isn't your life, your safety it is others they can use without a second thought." Matsu started walking and secured her cube in her pack under her arm while she walked letting hair fall over it.

"I will remember" Rianna had more than once traveled among those that would take a life as easily as breath, this was most likely just as dangerous. She followed Matsu to find the invisible market. Her thoughts drifted for a moment to a day on The Wheel, when she had met up with [member="Ordo"] and they had spent a grand day looking over crystals, and a night that had left them warm and tired wrapped around each other. She had listened to him breathing that night his barrel chest rising and falling. Back when things were easier.

She looked ahead trying to clear her mind, "Do they call it invisible because it is so hard to find?" She needed to think of what they were doing not on the things that were haunting her memories.

Matsu laughed at that more because she had wondered the same things. "To believe the idea of it, the invisible market is the one that really controls the galaxy. Moving in the shadows but still better then the black market or normal people." She thought about it and there were other things, the people she had seen were... far more deadly then some... They didn't react, they didn't give up anything without a price or spend credits when they didn't have to. "The invisible market, the invisible economy... words few realize but if you want to find something special or unique you can do that with this." She kept walking and found her way, taking the cube out as a man approached her. She didn't have to speak her just stood nearly twice her size in height and build.... Matsu looked past him at the lift before he was stepping aside. "Stay close and remember these people are more dangerous then a sith lord... At least they'll show you their intent. These ones would be willing to cut your hands off and then ask you to clap louder."

Rianna had met a Sith Lord or two in her time and many were very deceptive she could not imagine someone more deceptive than a Sith. Rianna reached out for the force for it to become her eyes, ears and senses inside this place. If it were as dangerous as Matsu said a heightened sense was warranted.

Once inside the lift Rianna could feel her nerves slightly tingle.

I wonder if Jedi should be in such places, her gaze looked over to Matsu.

Matsu looked at Rianna as she clasped her hands behind her back and didn't have to say it... at least she didn't hope she would have to. The look from Rianna seemed more of disbelief at the thought someone could be more dangerous then a sith or how they could find such a place. "These markets are a prime location for information as well." She smiled though. "It is where I learned and found some contacts the jedi order would love to have supplying information." Matsu continued to look as the lift foors opened and there was the sound of a scanner, heavy wardroids thunking while they moved until the jedi stepped off the lift taking in the sights, the scents and the sounds of the place. It was just like a normal market but there were holo's for the wares, people trading datachips with information and when credits were transferred they were in high value chits in large plasteel containers to give an idea for how much they were selling. Vine silk something that one bolt of could be 30% of Coruscants economy were being traded by the dozen. "Welcome now remember to keep your hands to yourself... and don't buy anything unless you have something of value to trade for it."

Rianna nodded listening to Matsu since she had never been here she would need to rely upon her for information. This place it felt odd to her though it was more than the cold that the walls and metal gave off. It was the emotions of all those in there, the way their eyes moved over them as they doors opened.

The stances that filled with tension as if they had seen right through them and knew they were Jedi, and that they did not belong here in this place of information and black market goods. Rianna did not smile she merely half closed her eyes as if she were on some drug, even as her steps followed Matsu through the pathways of the invisible market.

Matsu continued walking and made a small face at Rianna in curiosity while she weaved through an area. Some of the people stopping to stare at her but a quick look had them looking back in a moment. She didn't make much of a face but kept herself moving until she was in position and had gotten to a stall. There was a man standing there for a moment and then his image shifted like waves along the skin into a woman with black ebony skin. "Arya you look the same as ever." There was a chuckle as Matsu turned and looked around for a moment speaking. "So what news is there?" She paused for a moment as the women looked towards Rianna but spoke. "There is a shipment of life crystals going out, the guild is involved but given what they do it isn't surprising. What has been surprising is that they are being open about it. They are letting the information be known because they found things more valuable at the location." Now that had the jedi's interest raised while she motioned Rianna closer and spoke.

"And what Arya did they find?" She waited for a moment while the woman shifted her image again, taking a pale woman with a dress and shawl over her face. "They found ruins, as expected given the system and they found something else that they are calling more valuable given what has been helping them. One of those three eyed being you sent to the Jailhouse was seen with them directing them. Not in force but they are still pulling some strings." That was what she needed while standing there and listening, the location to find the healer some crystals but some ruins as well and older beings. She'd have to explain them surely but for now her head turned to look at Rianna. "Well finding your crystals will be easy and given what else might be there we'll find some good healing supplies. The Nagai have some of the strongest techniques for healing I have seen and if they are getting life crystals then it is going to be quite fun."

Rianna listened at Matsu spoke with the woman she called Arya her attention was more focused once they mentioned life crystals, how could anyone think that life crystals were not of value.

Yes ruins offered many things but often the best of anything found ended up on black markets, or in the private collections of those financing the excavation. Rianna wondered who had funded a dig that found life crystals.

Rianna nodded, "healing items would help many and to have a life crystal that would be amazing" At least to her it would perhaps not to others but most certainly to a Jedi Healer. She smiled at the woman Arya wishing that for a moment there was trust between them but for now Rianna was alright with following along and taking in details.

Matsu was smirking at her as well and she agreed the healing crystals would help out many. Private collectors would be the best to look at as she bowed to the woman and spoke. "Thank you, we'll follow the credits and see what we can discover. Who knows we might get lucky and something will appear." Matsu was looking at her and what small amount of information they had on the one funding the site. "It looks like they are based on an asteroid... No hahaha." She laughed a little, her eyes lighting up just a little more as she thought about it and was checking. Digging into her own datapad as she started searching and her closed lipped smile became wider reaching her eyes. "Oh that is clever, their boss took over an ancient fortress and fixed it up. More then likely kept the treasures Croym created." She was looking at Rianna and grinning more. "Oh master Rianna I could kiss you, the search for these life crystals has brought to light something that will make the jedi very happy." She was going over it and rubbed her hands together. "We might be getting lucky and find The Heard of the Universe, Croym made it and it was something long lost."

Rianna knew of this gem, Heart of the Universe what Jedi did not know. But it was the rumor of the power that often troubled the Jedi and any Council that heard of a member looking for it. It was said to be of great power, the concern, would such power corrupt.

Rianna nodded, "you think that it could be in the ancient fortress?" Many things were found in ruins and buildings of old. Many things were hidden hoping never to see the light of any day.

if it was their fate to find it, it would have to be regarded with great care.

Matsu looked at Rianna as she spoke. "I don't know, if we found it such a thing it would be amazing... but even if we don't find it. Or it is destroyed or just a rumor, a legend to make one seem powerful. That is the excitement of chasing things, finding history instead of waiting around and letting it pass you by. I don't know about you but a chance like this doesn't come around often and there is bound to be other things there, things you might be able to use. Or that the jedi might be able to use." She shrugged and well something like the heart was a temptation true but what if someone found it that would misuse it, they should ensure it isn't there just in case as a way of public safety.
