STAR WARS THE JEDI RESISTANCE(IC)

[Pantorrum]

Dy'lan spoke over the intercom-
''Attention all Jedi, please report to the main auditorrium for a breifing on the current situation."

Dy'lan spoke over the intercom-
''Attention all Jedi, please report to the main auditorrium for a breifing on the current situation."

Master Cosmos after hearing the announcement stood up an proceeded to walk to the main auditorium.

[Pantorrum]

Dy'lan appeared on the stage and spoke loudly to the 21 padawans seated before him.
''Soon, when my fellow masters arrive, i plan on giving certain rewards, and informing you of the situation. You will remain 100% respectful, and any rude smirks or comments will result in corporal punishment."

Dy'lan appeared on the stage and spoke loudly to the 21 padawans seated before him.
''Soon, when my fellow masters arrive, i plan on giving certain rewards, and informing you of the situation. You will remain 100% respectful, and any rude smirks or comments will result in corporal punishment."

Master Cosmos after a few minutes of traveling through the temple eventually reached the main auditorium. He walked up to the assembled group and seated himself. He smiled at the two dozen Padawans in the room with him and then waited for the debriefing.

[Pantorrum]

Dy'lan spoke to the group.
"My fellow jedi, today we have made a great step towards reconstructing the order. Master Cosmos, who has attended, has been responsible, not solely but did play a mjor role, in bringing us a holocron to recreate a knowledge of the force and bring skills to all of you. He has done agreat service to the republic, along with his partners. With this, more jedi can be recruited. Please remember, they put their lives on the line for all of us. We owe them our gratitude. In light of this, I would like to award each of the jedi with a Medal of Valor and Honor. Each of these men diserves our greatest respects." He waited for master cosmos to approach and the other jedi to arrive.

''Soon, when my fellow masters arrive, i plan on giving certain rewards, and informing you of the situation. You will remain 100% respectful, and any rude smirks or comments will result in corporal punishment."

Krass, Celeste and Maris sat next to Cosmos after traveling from the shuttle to the auditorium. Krass had just received the current status of the shipyard at Zhar and Aidan didn't have anything to say other than his disgust of Rylar's attitude and the use of slaves. The three Jedi sat patiently, listening to what Dy'lan had to say.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Dy'lan spoke to the group.
"My fellow jedi, today we have made a great step towards reconstructing the order. Master Cosmos, who has attended, has been responsible, not solely but did play a mjor role, in bringing us a holocron to recreate a knowledge of the force and bring skills to all of you.

In light of this, I would like to award each of the jedi with a Medal of Valor and Honor. Each of these men diserves our greatest respects." He waited for master cosmos to approach and the other jedi to arrive.

Master Cosmos as well as his Jedi counterparts began to approach Master Dy'lan. Though he has only known them for a short time he considers them loyal allies and even treasured friends. A short time later they were on the stage facing Master Dy'lan and the Padawans.

OOC: Is it ok that I brought you up with me?

[New Emphillon]

OOC: It's fine. I don't mind.
IC: The three Jedi stood next to Master Cosmos as they waited for Dy'lan to pass out the awards. Krass was greatful for having met Master Cosmos. He may only have met him a few weeks ago, but Krass felt like he and Cosmos were great friends and would remain that way for a long time into the future. Krass stood still and eyed the padawans below the stage, awaiting whatever prize Dy'lar was passing out. Krass was surprised not to see Master Deno amongst the crowd.

[Pantorrum]

Dy'lan passed out 4 Gold Medals incrested with the symbol of the jedi order. With it, a Durasteel plaque incrested with their service. Dy'lan proceeded with a speech.
"I was asked to convey a message from Master Deno. He says he is with us in spirit, but he is currently away on a desperate seacrh for a lost jedi knight. He said he will try to be here at the banquet. I also invite all 4 of these jedi to join my newly formed Jedi Council, and lead us into the future."
Dy'lan smiled at the 4 jedi peacekeepers and was reminded of one thing.
"Padawans, these jedi acted in honor for us, and made a great sacrifice. Remember, what we must do is in the name of peace. In order to restore honor and the republic, we must fight. But never lose sight of what we are, peacekeepers. All are invited to the banquet in the great hall. Perhaps Master Deno is waiting for us there."
The padawans clapped in honor of the 4 jedi that stood before them.

[New Emphillon]

Krass smiled at the applauding crowd. He was grateful for the honors bestowed unto him for helping to preserve the Jedi Order. He also noted that Maris was elated at the honor of being on the Jedi Council. He was going to have to help her get into the thought process of a Jedi council member. Celeste seemed happy about the honor, yet a bit afraid. Krass knew why, thinking of the talisman on Celeste's neck. He would have to see if there was a way to rid her of the thing without being a skilled Jedi Sorcerer.
He pushed the thought aside as he and the others proceeded towards the Grand Hall for the celebratory feast. Krass began to talk to Celeste about the history of the planet Tython and how the Jedi Order was founded here 25,000 years before in response to the Infinite Empire's totalitarian rein on the galaxy. She seemed grateful for the distraction from her thoughts and listened to Krass ramble on (he knew he had a bad habit of doing so about history).

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos felt honored to receive the medal and Plaque. Perhaps one day when he would find a permanent residency he could place it somewhere special where he and others would be able to see it. Master Cosmos would attend the banquet. Since Order 66 he hadn't had anything larger then standard rations. He thanked Master Dy'lan as he left the stage and proceeded with the rest of the group to the Banquet Hall. He listened to Master Krass as he retold the last several thousand years. Very thorough. Master Cosmos thought.

[Pantorrum]

Master Deno appeared in front of the great hall and greeted each padawan as they entered, and gave a special greeting to Master Dy'lan. He then came to his hero's.
"Thank you, and I hope you do join the council. You did do a great sacrifice, as I'm sure you are sick of hearing. I remember, when I gave my life to destroy that prototype weapon far in the beginning, I gave up my usefulness. I died to bring about a great cause which is great. It is even greater to bring about a great cause, and live to tell about it. I am very rpoud to call myseelf a jedi along with all of you.

It is even greater to bring about a great cause, and live to tell about it. I am very rpoud to call myseelf a jedi along with all of you.

"Thank you Master Deno. You didn't give up your usefulness my friend. Your the reason we have the holocron in the first place. If anything you have enhanced your usefulness ten-fold."

[Pantorrum]

Master Deno lead Master Cosmos away from the others. "Deep in this temple's vault is my DNA. A clone can be made, but I do not wish it so. My fate hass been met, but it is there in the case it is needed. Only you and Master Dy'land know of this. It is secret, and must not be revealed. I sense you can be trusted. Master Dy'lan will soon tell you and the others of a mission. A trapped jedi on Raxus Secundus is known to be in need of rescuing. With him, we will have 2 more jedi with his padawan."

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Deno lead Master Cosmos away from the others. "Deep in this temple's vault is my DNA. A clone can be made, but I do not wish it so. My fate hass been met, but it is there in the case it is needed. Only you and Master Dy'land know of this. It is secret, and must not be revealed. I sense you can be trusted. Master Dy'lan will soon tell you and the others of a mission. A trapped jedi on Raxus Secundus is known to be in need of rescuing. With him, we will have 2 more jedi with his padawan."

"I see. I will not divulge this information." He thought of the clone vault where Master Deno's back-up body was hoping it was safe. He also wondered what mission they will be sent on now.
(OOC: Are we talking about Kazdan Paratus? I was wondering because he was with me on Raxus Prime early in the RP.)

[New Emphillon]

OOC: I was thinking the same thing. Raxus Secundus is Raxis Prime and since Paratus was the only known Jedi to have hidden on the planet, I was wondering as to how Cosmos never sensed the other Jedi before.

[New Emphillon]

Krass had noticed Cosmos leave the group, but something told him he shouldn't follow. Besides, he was at the pinnacle of the discussion: the birth of the Sith. There was a lot of speculation surrounding the Sith's creation, but Krass believed that the war with the Infinite Empire had caused some of the early members of the Jedi Order to believe that the only way to combat the Rakatans was to use the alien's power against them. Thus, some Jedi decided there were no limitations to their abilities and used any ability they knew to fight off the oppressors. The Jedi Order saw this as trouble and banished these Dark Jedi from the Order until they could learn to control their powers. It was, of course, only a theory, but there has been evidence that such a thing had occurred.
Celeste didn't seemed too surprised by the theory as she had found similar evidence in some of the Sith artifacts that the Covenant of the Jedi Order searched for. It's good to speak to someone who understands the history of the Order, Krass thought. He knew the Republic's history as well, but it was irrelevant for the topic since the Republic wasn't established until after the destruction of the Infinite Empire 25,000 years ago.
The Jedi took their places at the table and awaited the return of Master Cosmos and Master Deno before they began to feast.

Onboard the Devastator, Corellia system, Inner Rim
Vader sat in his meditation chamber, reveling in the freedom of having his helmet off and feeling natural (as natural as it could get on a ship) air on his face. The Devastator had been in system for a few hours by this point, scanning for the transport that was supposed to have arrived here. Vader knew better, though. If the Jedi were in system, then they were very skilled in concealing their imprints in the Force. The other option was that the Jedi had abandoned their previous vessel and found a new one to use, then fled the system before the Devastator had arrived. Vader believed it to be the latter.
Frustrated, he opened his chamber and proceeded back to the bridge to get a report from the captain. Vader knew the search for the Jedi was going to be difficult, but the naïve part of him wished for the Jedi to come out of hiding and attack like the others had. It would have made the process much easier, but it wouldn't happen. Soon, he told himself, the Jedi Order will be finished. And the sooner that problem is finished, the sooner I will be with Padme again.
The thought replaced his fiery anger with cool calm, like summer fading quickly to winter. Soon he would have the love of his life back at his side, as Sidious had promised. Soon.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

"If you wish to talk late I would be happy to." A few minutes later he was with the rest of the group at the table. This was going to be a great celebration. A table of Jedi feasting to an incredible achievement.

[New Emphillon]

The feast was phenomenal. A large selection of platters ranging from nerf steak to exotic fruits from some jungle world or other. It was quite a sight and quite a meal too. Krass couldn't remember eating like that in a long time, not that he cared to, but it was nice every now and then. After everything was eaten and all of the chatter had ended, Krass, Maris and Celeste bid goodnight to their host and left with the padawans and Cosmos to their quarters in the temple. Maris went to her room after bidding goodnight to Krass, who returned the gesture and went to his own room. Celeste went into her room as well, drifting to sleep as soon as she was comfortable in bed.
At first, her dream was of her standing on Tython during its golden days under the rule of the Jedi Order. Everything was peaceful, beautiful. However, it didn't last long. The Force had a habit of warning Jedi and Sith about the future when it was not expected or wanted. Suddenly, Celeste found herself restrained on some medical bed, in a featureless, circular room, surrounded by a forcefield of some kind. She struggled to get free, until she saw the dark figure looming before her. Vader stared blankly at her, standing as still as statue, observing his query. he began to say something, but it was distant and muffled. Celeste couldn't hear the content of the speech, but the tone said enough: obey me or suffer the consequences. Celeste shouted back, but she, too, had no voice. Vader began to approach her, when the door behind the dark lord split open to reveal Krass with his lightsaber out, his body tense and poised for battle. He shouted at Vader and charged. The duel commenced between the two Force-wielders. Celeste could do nothing but watch. As she saw Krass struggle with the Sith Lord, she noticed something about him. His eyes... No, she thought. He can't! He wouldn't! But it was there nevertheless. Krass's eyes gleamed as bright yellow as his lightsaber, the clear indication of a newborn Sith. Celeste heard a cackle next to her ears.
"He's one of us, now," Karness exclaimed with joy and he began to laugh even louder, with Celeste's shouting trying to beat it. The next thing she knew was Krass shaking her awake, an expression of concern and slight puzzlement. Celeste just sat there, starring at Krass for a second, trying to get her thoughts together.
"What happened," she finally heard Krass ask.
"I had a vision," Celeste murmured. She felt exhausted after the whole ordeal, despite having been asleep.
"What was in it," Krass asked with some genuine comfort.
Celeste didn't know whether she should tell Krass the truth or not. If she did, she could easily cause the event to happen. If she didn't, it may just happen anyway. She decided to just tell Krass a lie for now.
"A Jedi falling to the Dark Side," she said. "Before my very eyes."
Krass was taken aback by this information, but it was a vision that was subject to change. Only time can tell what will happen.
Krass patted Celeste's hand. "It was just a vision," he said. "There isn't much we can do about it."
"I know," Celeste said. "I know..."
Krass nodded and began to get up from the bed to return to his room, when Celeste's sudden movement caused him to stop and turn back to her.
"Would you mind... staying here," she asked, a little sheepishly. It wasn't easy for her to ask.
Krass found the request a little odd, but he knew it was just for her to sleep better. He nodded and took his place next to Celeste in the bed, where he laid, starring at the ceiling. He noticed Celeste put her head on his left shoulder and wrap her left arm around his body.
"Thank you," she whispered into his ear, before she drifted back to sleep.
It was odd lying there with Celeste positioned as she was, but it also felt... right. With one last look at the Jedi next to him, Krass closed his eyes and drifted into sleep himself.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

OOC: That was beautiful man.
Master Cosmos enjoyed the great feast. By the time they left for their quarters he was full to the brim. After wishing the Jedi and Padawans good night he retired to his quarters in the temple. As he laid down he began to think of his plans for tomorrow. First he would talk to Admiral Vlad on the flagship and then he would shuttle back down and perhaps watch the Padawans train. His day would be free after that. Soon enough he began to think of his possible mission of located and rescuing the surviving Jedi and hopefully bringing them back to Tython. He knew of a place to start his journey. While on Raxus Prime he began to experience the force nudging him in a particular direction. He sensed two strong force signature emanating from the planet he had departed from during the beginning of Order 66. He wouldn't be leaving right away but very soon he would set off with a ship or two towards the Felucia System.

The Next Morning...

Master Cosmos woke up fairly early the next morning. After eating breakfast he walked to Master Krass's room to tell him that he would be shuttling up to the fleet. He knocked on the door and waited a couple minutes but no one answered. He sensed no one on the other side so he assumed he had already left. He then began to walk to his shuttle.

[New Emphillon]

OOC: Thanks, I try my best.
IC: Krass awoke slowly and was disoriented for a few seconds, trying to remember where he was and what had happened the night before. Then it all came back to him after a few seconds of thinking. He turned his head to find Celeste still asleep, her head still on his shoulder. He decided to not disturb her and stayed where he was, thinking about what to do next in the restoration of the Galactic Republic. Perhaps he would return to Zhar to pick up a few more vessels, hit a few Imperial shipyards, gather more recruits or simply go to retrieve the rest of the Jedi in hiding. The Order needed to be united to fight against the Sith and restore the Republic.
There was also the matter of the bounty hunters that plagued the Jedi. Krass thought about how much it would take to get the bounty hunters to leave the Jedi alone, but he knew that bargaining would not work. These bounty hunters were hell-bent on leading the Empire to the Jedi, all to just get paid and survive until the next bounty.
After some debate, Krass thought it best to stay on Tython for another few days, then proceed to Ossus and gather the forces Krass had sent there a few weeks before. As he came to this conclusion, Celeste woke up. The two Jedi looked at each other for a moment.
"Morning," she murmured.
"Good morning," Krass replied.
Celeste got up from the bed, stretching as she did so. Krass did the same. After that, the two Jedi, meeting Maris in the hallway, went to the Grand Hall for breakfast and meet up with the padawans.

[The United Empire of Exucular]

Master Cosmos finished his visit to the fleet a couple hours later. He learned that all ships were fully-repaired, fully-crewed, and stocked to last many months. This meant they wouldn't have to visit any Imperial planets for basic supplies any time soon. With the fleet checked Master Cosmos went to the Hanger Bay. From there he boarded his shuttle and began his descent back down to the planet Tython.

[Pantorrum]

Master Dy'lan awoke, deeply troubled. He was in a hot panic. He had seen the near future. The planet Naboo under Imperial occupation. Millions would die, but he knew the future was uncertain, emotion is always was. This, Master Yoda had taught him. He immediatly contacted Master Cosmos and Master Krass.
"A disturbance there is in the force. The planet Naboo, and the queen, are in grave danger. We must respond. A council vote will commence. All members need to be in the council room."

[New Emphillon]

Boba had waited long enough. He had all the data he needed, some of which told him that there was a strong planetary shield generator on the moon below that was providing the shipyards with the strong energy fields his scanners detected. Boba, however, had yet to find any evidence that the rouge Jedi fleets had been here. It was quite boring to just sit for pray to return to their nest, but Boba needed to stay focused. He looked at the comm station next to him, tempted to contact the Imperial fleet to, if anything, just send a small corvette to take a look into the system.
Boba shook his head at the thought. It was a half-thought out plan. If he did that, not only would his position be revealed, but it would also startle the shipyards' occupants to skip the system with every ship they had and Boba would lose the chance to get the Jedi. And he would lose more than that when Vader found out. He felt his hand reflexively check to see that his neck was still intact.
Boba decided to wait a while longer, just to be sure that he was in the right spot.

On Tython
Krass heard the message and went to the council room, followed by Celeste and Maris. He turned back to look at Celeste.
You're not the only one to have a vision last night, Krass thought.
I wonder what the Empire could want with the planet of Naboo, Celeste replied, clearly avoiding the subject.
I don't know, but we'll soon find out.
By this point the Jedi had made it to the Council Chambers for the meeting.

[Pantorrum]

OOC: I hope you guys don't mind if I assume Cosmos is here.

IC:Master Dy'lan spoke solemnly to the jedi.
"If we do not act, then the Queen will die along with millions. I invisioned an Imperial army, marching through Theed. I invisioned a dead....jedi. He is not dead in life, but dead in spirit. Not a death, but a fall. A jedi will join the dark side. I forsee, that in time a man named General Veers will lead an assault, and Vader will soon follow. This, I am curious of. Naboo has had contact with us though, and other jedi. If naboo falls, records of our contact from Tython with the queen could fall into Vaders hands. We must not allow this. I submit a vote to defend Naboo."

He looked at the other jedi as they sat in their chairs. He hoped they to could sense the danger.
