The force is clear and shows no signs of any Sith nearby.

All is quiet at the compound.

Each of you receive a message asking you to respond to the Jedi Council when you have a free moment and are alone.

Jax nods to the others, "Let's go see what the Council has to say."

He pulls out a communicator and leads the others to a quiet area in the compound.

Maliq nods and follows Jax, hoping that their rebuke of his actions won't be too severe.

The message came on standard jedi encryption channels:  ++Jedi Nilar, Draji and Maliq. We are sending a representative down to the surface to meet with the locals and discuss the situation with Maliq.  Jedi Nilar and Maliq, you are to continue the investigation until we contact you again.  Jedi Draji, a situation has arisen that needs your attention. One of the jedi from your training class has gone missing and we need your help to locate her. You will return on the shuttle immedietly to assist us in the investigation.++

++"Understood."++

"Should we head back to the compound then?" Maliq

The internal pa system of the base started broadcasting a message as the message ended.

++Unidentified beings located near the west side of the base. Requesting assistance in case they are Sith agents.++

Maliq rushes in that direction, speaking to Jax as he goes. "I'll try and find some high ground and cover you if need be."

I think you might be the only one left. Still interested in continuing?

sure

Any preferences on where you would like to go from here?

Well, depending on how you want to remove jax, I wouldn't be opposed to Maliq finding his way toward a non Jedi practice of the force. Seeing the inefficiencies of this mission pushes him to deem the Jedi ineffective.

That can work.  I have 2 non-Jedi and 1 Sith in other stories. We can wrap this up and move you to one of them.

Sounds good to me

Jax fell back to cover the entrance and make sure no one was able to get into the base.  That left Maliq to move outside and look for anyone who might be hidden outside.  It appeared he was alone, but the darkness could always hide someone who knew what they were doing.

OOC:

Going to continue this to end this chapter.  Feel free to post and I will fill in for whoever is missing.

Maliq searches the area for any signs of the Sith, moving cautiously to avoid any ambush that may await him. Though his last altercation didn't end the way he had hoped, his excitement at the idea of facing the enemy once more...then the fact that his lightsaber is momentarily confiscated is a sobering realization. The rifle will have to suffice...if it comes to that of course.

Ok, so give me either perception or sense force.  3D. 

14:47, Today: Maliq rolled 2 failures, 1 advantage using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire with a dice pool of 1a 1P 3d ((7(A), 8(P), 5(D), 3(D), 3(D))).

You do not detect anything amiss.  All seems quiet and functioning as normal.

Seeing that everything seems normal, Maliq reaches for his comm. ++"Everything seems fine. These You might want to check on your sensory equipment. I haven't seen a thing since I got here."++

There was no response from the comms.  Just the normal static that is always present on encrypted comms.

Maliq begins to get suspicious, remembering the stories of the Sith's treachery and deceit. Trying not to jump to conclusions, he makes his way back to the compound.

Perception checks, same as before. 3D.

Not doin so hot on the perceptions lol.
23:55, Today: Maliq rolled 1 failure, 2 threats using the Star Wars Edge of the Empire

Everything seems normal, just no response from control.

The compound was quiet, and that feeling in the force that felt like danger was near started to perk up in Maliq's mind.
