Thi cocks his head. Then whistles in binary.

Binary:

R7C4, follow, Analyze Sound Pause. R2C2, follow, Analyze Sound and R7C4.

Thi will move slowly toward the sound, feeling out the situation on multiple levels.


As Taska wanders into the area of the room. The area transforms to her home town/village. She can see Stormtroopers and some others with red light sabers killing those around area.
Taska help ... A voice cries out. You recognize it as your mother a leader in your tribe/family. As she moves to you she is cut down by a tall thing in dressed in black armor. There is breathing machine attached to the creature. That regulates the breathing. As the it moves towards you. Another person moves up to intercept but the being in black raises a gloved fist and the person grabs their throat. Taska help... The cry of your sister is barely a whisper..
What do you do ?


Helrun can see creature of pure crystalline move in the air. There is a young woman who does not see the creature moving towards it. What do you do?


The droid that Thi sees comes to life. As it sensors come on it starts to move. It is a huge creature about 9 feet tall. The arms rotate into weapons and it lumbers to you. Your call to your droids does nothing.
What do you do?


Reeb is not able to access anything. Cade comes back to you and says Where is everyone at?

"Mother! Dora!" Taska raises her blaster and fires at the creature in black.

Just edited a bit because she grew up in space, not on a planet.


That's cool not sure about your background. I must of missed it.
The creature in black parries the bolts. He then moves closer towards you. As another family member moves to protect you. The creature in black swings his crimson blade.
Losing your family is painful is not ? He asks as he readies is blade.

Thi looks around, sees no one around, and begins to whistle override programming commands in Binary at the droid, while reaching out to push any arms that come his way away from him. He doesn't try to move the entire droid, just any arms moving in toward him, be they melee or ranged limbs. The entire time, he is trying to override it's programming via binary commands.

The scene seems to slow down in time as Helrun recalls some of the hallucinagenics the tribes used in order to better comprehend the universe, the beings moving into contact could be anything who can say which is the aggressor or even if a scene of aggression is happening.

"Hello! It seems that some contact or initial contact is about to happen, can we check and ensure that happens in a safe way?"

Also moves closer to both entities.

DM how far am I from the two and how far are they from each other?also how fast is the entity moving?

"I'll teach you about pain." Taska dashes forward, stowing her blaster as she closes the gap and pulling out her stun baton, which she turns up to its highest setting. She calls on the Force to speed up her body and tune her mind to the flow of battle.

Since this is a Force hallucination, I'm assuming, I don't know if actual mechanics apply or if it's all just exposition. If we're using mechanics, she'll do Battlemind and Enhance Ability checks before closing to melee. And she'll put her stun baton on the damage + stun setting.


Helrun you are approx. half your 30 feet from the girl. and the creature moves in the air slowly and is 50 feet from the girl. The creature is huge. The girl turns to Helrun What are you doing here? The girl asks you. As you get closer you see she is preteen, with a single braid in hair and a cylinder at waist.


exposition
Taska runs forward and engages the creature in black armor. He counters all of your attacks. Yet as you attack you anger is rising with in you.
Good I can feel your hatred. It may make you stronger The creature says to you. He then extends a hand and you are shoved down on to the ground. What do you do?


The droid keeps lumbering towards Thi. Master.. It says to you. Thi continues to speak binary. DC 30 required to get it under control.

Thi takes out his tools, and begins using his wireless transmitters to supplement his binary access attempts. He also calls on the force to help gain control of the droid.

"No call Master, Call Sir. Thi no slave owner." The alien says, it's feathers beginning to lay back down as it seems to get the droid under control. "Please state designation and purpose."


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

"I am not certain, but a huge creature that you can not see is in the air there....floating towards you. Can you run home and warn your parents?"

Helrun points at the thing while explaining.....


Male Human Scroundrel 1/Tech Specialist 2; WP-10; VP-17; Defense-17

Reeb shakes his head.
"I have no idea. They were here on minute then gone the next. What's happening? I can get no readings from this place at all...but there must be some power source somewhere...right?"


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska fights against the force pushing her down with all her might, summoning all her chi to break the hold the man in black had on her. "I'll kill you!"


Helrun points to the creature and the young girl look at him.
The Force constructs what it wants to us to see.
The girl says to Helrun.
No if you will excuse me I must find my Master. He is here somewhere. By any chance have you seen Jedi Master Cade Lucas?
She continues to look around and then creature fades from your view. As the creature fades you notice the girl is gone as well. The cave room leads on.


As Taska swings with all of her might to break free from the grip. As your able to stand the figure in black seems a bit amused.
Impressive most impressive.
The room then goes black and the cave is ahead of you. The scene of your ship is now gone. What do you do?


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska turns to see if the others were still around, realizing now the entire scene had been a hallucination. If not, she taps on her wrist com. "Anyone there? I just suffered a very strong hallucination. We should regroup and get some environmental scans before proceeding."


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

"Like a Jedi training room, then I must want to see?....Master Lucas? Jedi Master Cade Lucas?"

Helrun calls out to the Jedi master whom the force seems to have him seeking....

No response?


Sorry guys Army stuff is kinda taking over


Sorry for being gone so long. I will move the game along again.
The crew sits on their ship, as it leaves Tatooine orbit. Thi is working on the new droid that he has found. Reeb manages to get the computer footage he needed to upload the nearest ISB agent about the Moff. The Outpost was destroyed by Cade as it broke his heart to do so. Helrun, Taska, and Thi also look over the stones they received from Cade. These are Kyber crystals used to make Light Sabers . He hand them the stones and then remained in silence as the Ship moves in hyper space.

Note to GM, wife having surgery later today, will be kind of spotty this week

Thi looks over the crystal. "Interesting..." And then goes back to working on his droid, slipping the crystal into one of the internal slots on his engineering kit.


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

Helrun can tell that the crystal can atune to the force and that is part of the construction process, he selects a crystal and begins attuning the energies....


Elsewhere in the Galaxy
A huge figure moves around the Human restrained in the Chair.
I see Moff that you have taken it on yourself to make a profit. A tall Utapulon says to the Human.
mmm ...mmm The Moff says.
I will need to know who invaded the Outpost was it one your contacts? Maybe it was... The Man says to the Moff. A droid with needles comes forward.
This would of been so much easier for you had you just been happy with your profits.
The door closes.
Cade looks ups from his mediation and then moves to common room of the ship. We need to talk can everyone come down


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska had been quiet since returning from the planet. She had clearly been unsettled by whatever visions she had received in the caves. The dark skinned woman nodded at Cade as she took the crystal but as she had no lightsaber and no knowledge of the makings of one she simply kept the crystal to meditate on.


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

Helrun came to the meeting, he knew, knew in exacting detail what it took to craft a lightsaber, though confessing the knowledge seemed a risky proposition, it was buried so deep in his early memories, yet focusing on the crystals brought it forth in exacting detail.

All he says is
"The crystals seem fine aids in meditation."


Male Human Scroundrel 1/Tech Specialist 2; WP-10; VP-17; Defense-17

Reeb has been working on upgrading the computer systems on the ship, as well as creating new and wonderful "surprises" for anyone attempting to tamper with the ship's systems. When he gets the call from Cade, he sets his tools down and heads over to the common's area.


As Thi joins the group. Cade settles in a chair and then speaks.
My name in my old life was Master Cade a member of the Jedi Order before the Empire took over. I was on scouting mission with my Clones on Plant in the Endor system. A forest moon with strange creatures on it. My Clones turned on me but I befriended the these tiny creatures who came to my aid. I was severally injured and it took months to get well again. After I realized what happen I took my ship to the nearest planet and left it. I left my old life behind because of a message from the Temple. I then fell in with the Black Sun to hide from the Empire. Do you have any questions before I continue?


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska had nodded in agreement with Helrun's comment about the crystal. She shakes her head in response to Cade's question. "That clears up why the Empire is hunting you, at least."

"How much is bounty on head worth?" Thi asks thoughtfully.


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

Helrun nudges Thi'wik slightly....
"Such questions tempt mammalian brains into thinking one intends to turn them in, as you would say innate suspiciousness and xenophobia."

"Please continue, Cade, I am certain that others escaped the strangle-hold of the Empire."

Helrun muses to himself that all he did was drop jedi master from his name and the Empire did not find him.... ; )


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

"75,000 credits." Taska answered automatically, as if the information was already at the forefront of her mind. "Not enough to offset the funds at his disposal." She nodded slightly to Cade, a slight smile on her lips. "No offense."


None taken. Cade smiles back and then reaches into his pocket. Pulls forth a holocron. He sits down on the table in front of the group. Let me begin with this..I believe you all here for reason with me. The Force sometimes guides us to where we need to be. It up to us to chose what to with it at that point. He clears his throat then continues.
It is my intention to use the Black Sun to find other Jedi. I know they are out there. I have been hearing a rumor of a Jedi sighting in the Lothal system. It is my plan to make my way there. Are you with me?
Everyone gains a level

Thi looks at the human. "Observation. Not a Jedi am I. No Jedi have there ever been from my race. Continued Observation. The Emperor has not looked hard at my race for those who are force users. Conclusion. Becoming a Jedi against thousands of years of tradition would be stupid." Thi enters his lecture mode, his voice becoming very precise with his words to ensure the meaning is conveyed only via the words. "History Lesson. My species have never allowed Jedi to search their people for candidates. My species have never trusted Jedi, for we find their training methods and beliefs to be... bizarre. The idea of severing ties to ones family and friends is to divorce oneself from what one is. This, to us, makes it much easier to fall into madness. Thus the Jedi intentionally build weakness into themselves, making it easier to fall. And the higher one goes, the farther one falls. The Jedi went very high, and fell very hard. Observation. The Jedi need to cease, as they were. A new Jedi must arise. A Jedi who reject the teachings of the old Jedi, and embrace that which they rejected, friends, family, love. Observation. Non-Droids have emotions, suppressing emotions leads to explosions of emotion, not to lack of emotions."

When Thi finishes speaking, he shrugs. "Conclusion. I have no objection to helping you find Jedi, or of fighting the Empire. I have no intention of violating my people's tradition by actually becoming a Jedi. Jedi rely on their abilities, and advertise their abilities, as if they were lame and required them to walk." Thi looks around. "All here with the crystals have used their abilities wantonly, save myself. That which Jedi call the Force is a power which is given to certain people in order that they might perform great deeds when it is time for great deeds. It is as if someone gave you an igniter to start a sun so that you could build a new star system, and the Jedi use it to light their fires, their candles, as a flashlight, and to read by." Thi shakes his head in mild disgust. "Jedi have no respect for that which they wield, and thus take it for granted."


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

"I was orphaned at a young age and can agree with Thi'Wek that no hatching should be removed from it's brood to try and be molded into one way of being when no one can determine if that one way is correct or incorrect, the implication that might is right is false."


Thi your words echo Master Yoda's. He stated something like that one time during the Clone Wars. I will think on it. Does anyone else have anything to say?
Cade sits for more conversation while he strokes his beard.


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska frowns at Thi. "I am no Jedi and know nothing of their teachings. My people have a tradition of meditation and martial arts that dates back to the days of the Old Republic. We had a culture that dated back millenia. My own school- the school of my mother, my siblings, and everyone I knew until a few years ago, now all dead- traced its history from teacher to teacher back to its original founding hundreds of years ago, and it was young as those things were measured."

"You know nothing of my people's traditions. I do nothing wantonly and am greatly offended at your condescending, insulting disrespect for my people. I had thought you were the most centered and level headed of this group. Now I see you are just as closed minded and judgmental as any of the Jedi you just condemned."

She glances at Cade. "I have no interest in becoming a Jedi. I follow my own traditions. I am, however, interested in working with you. I would be glad to accompany you in your search."

Thi shakes his head. "Be it Jedi or non-Jedi, those who, especially in this day and time, flaunt their abilities without need, provoke both danger and show disrespect for their abilities. Pride in a job well done is good, self agrandizing pride is something we should all beware of as a stumbling block that leads to madness." The alien says calmly, not angered by the harsh words, apparently. "Let peace rule your heart, not anger. If my words sting, then examine why they sting. See if they prick some nerve you were not aware of that might lead to a downfall. If my words are unfounded, they should fall from you as water from a fowl's back, leaving your inner peace unaffected."


Male Human Scroundrel 1/Tech Specialist 2; WP-10; VP-17; Defense-17

"Well I'm in! I am no jedi, but as a former slave let me tell you the empire will do nothing for my people. The Hutt and others like them will use slaves to build their empire, and that is not right. The old Jedi did nothing to help the slaves, but maybe the new ones will!"


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

"You insult the memory and traditions of hundreds of my dead and then tell me to ignore your words." Taska shakes her head. "I thought you had more insight into the human mind than that, Mrlissi."

"If you cannot contain your rage at my perceived insults, then you should not follow your traditions any further, those who went before you would tell you the same." The bird says sadly. "You court madness..."

Thi simply shakes his head sadly and remains silent.


Cade listens to conversation between Taska and Thi. Reeb I appreciate your help and thank you. Thi is correct in the fact that if the Jedi are to survive this dark time. We must change maybe our flaunting of the Order made us an easier target. The Sith have worked in secret for a thousand years. No more than two of them at a time. The Sith used to be a huge empire but turned on each other constantly till Darth Bane came. Taska I am not just talking about finding just Jedi but any Force sensing being who is out there. Maybe there are other of your kind? He waits for her to answer.


Female Human Urban Adept/Jedi Guardian 2/2 [Vit: 36|36 - Wou: 14|14 - DEF: 17 - For:+7 | Ref:+7 | Wil:+5 - Spot: +4 - Init:+2]

Taska nods. "I don't doubt that there are. Our group was only one of many. There may have been others planet-bound or in other convoys. We never numbered as many as the Jedi, but we kept our traditions more closely. And if there are other survivors of my people, there are probably survivors of other traditions, as well."


M Human Force Adept / Jedi Guardian 1/3

"Knowing a species exists on one world or many, does not speak to whether or not a force tradition is among them....for all we know Wookies have a secret sect of force users."
