Unexplored System



At first, Koi was relieved when Master Akoda responded. It was hard to argue with AG. He held the Jedi responsible for so much -- too much. At times he seemed to hold them to standards of moral perfection, insight and ability that no mortal person, no matter how good, could ever meet -- while at the same time decrying their universal corruption.

One of the revelations that Bastilla Shan gave her is that even Jedi are limited by the information and resources they had at the time.  The Force can give you great insight, but even a great hero doesn't know everything and makes mistakes. Being a Jedi means you try to help, but you are still only one person. A person that gets tired, or frightened, or hurt -- just like anyone else.

She winces at his accusations towards Master Akoda, who Koi generously assumed was trying to draw the Clone fighters away from his apprentices to protect them. Even though he failed, he tried.

But something about the tension in the air kept her from speaking up. Master Akoda was a soldier, and maybe he can reach AG in a way that she can't.

She was not expecting Master Akoda to know so much about AG's past. Koi can feel her sweat go cold at the news that the Order made AG an orphan before he was made a stormtrooper. But his anger and feelings of betrayal makes so much more sense. I knew that the Order raised soldiers from a young age..but I didn't realize..

Koi tries to give AG a minute to come back to himself.

"I'm sorry AG, there is a lot I can't answer, and a lot of bad that I can't reach to try to change it." Koi says quietly, a fringer drawl creeping into her voice as she surreptitiously wipes away a tear. "But these people are right in front of me, and I can try to help them. I hope you'll help me. Even if you're mad at me for being a jedi."

AG looked at the alien ground for a moment, breathing in deep before making a sudden shift to looking straight into your eyes "You saved my life when nearly anyone else in the rebellion would have killed me. You trust me when nobody else would, or should. That's very much the Jedi way, I suppose. And, I can't really blame you for the mistakes of the past, much as I might want to."

He looks at Akoda for a moment "I don't know if I'm really ready to trust in the Knights of the Jedi Order. What the ghost says about what happened, that the Galactic Civil War was a trick from the start to gain power would be hard to believe, but it fills in the holes. Regardless of the past and who said what, I know I can trust Koi Sundar, Jedi or not." He extended his hand forward as a sign of good faith.

Meeting AG's gaze is like walking into a gale, or a brick wall. All that certainty and passion -- even if it's more for an idea than Koi herself -- it's a power to be reckoned with.

Some people feel that they can read something of a person's soul in their eyes, and if there is anything there that can give AG peace..how can she mind?  He's known so little. And showing his anger, arguing with her is a kind of trust.  He's showing her his real thoughts -- one's he'd be punished for in the past.

She takes his hand, her smile blooms tentatively like the very edge of dawn. "Thank you AG. I..your trust means a lot to me. I don't know if I'll be a great Jedi, but I hope that I am good person -- and a good friend."

"Best I've ever had." He replied. He looked down at your legs, where Wix was loitering defensively.

"Don't worry, I'm okay with you being a Jedi too, you little womp rat."

The diminuitive would be Jedi was unusually silent as he watched, seeing the other two comrades approach.

"Well, know that we've gotten that all out on the table, it looks like we're all set to leave. Fair?"

The group nodded in agreement.

"Good. AG, I'd like to borrow you for a second, some last second preparation." As the two walked away, Oro-Qiebra, the most quiet of the bunch, leans in to speak quietly. Her hushed volume struggles to contain her excitement.

"My sister can go eat krill. Whatever spec ops stuff she's doing doesn't compare to this. I got to meet a dead Jedi! And I'm helping two other Jedi! And who knew that tall dumb and handsome had that kind of history? The little boy inside would probably worship you, from the sound of it."

Koi sighs as AG walks away, "I appreciate your patience Wix -- and being ready to poke him in the shin." A lot of Wix's adversaries were going to die surprised. Which made for an effective warrior, but it must be annoying to be called names and underestimated.

"We should ask Master Akoda if he knows the name his parents gave him. I don't think he'll want it yet. But some day he might."

Koi smiles at Oro's glee: her sister is terrifying. She heard a story that Oro's sister once ripped a guy's arm off while arm wrestling. Supposedly by accident.

At least Oro isn't trying to surreptitiously shoot AG and push him off a cliff. Koi chuckles,  "Tall and Handsome, eh? I'll be happy with at least 50% less angry arguing...with me at least. I'd bet a cake to a credit that he'll argue up one side of any New Republic ship and down the other. I think keeping him out of fights is beyond a reasonable expectation, but I hope you'll keep him from being shoved out an airlock."

Koi has noticed that AG is handsome (and funny and brave) - as much as she's trying to ignore it. AG has been through a lot, and well..he probably needs a friend more than someone to kiss. At least from her.

"After dealing with sibling rivalry like mine, dealing with him should be easy. I'll take his idealism over moaning about regs and procedures any day." She took a moment to walk away, looking over the vast landscape below.

The Jedi overheard your question and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Koi, but much of his identity is clouded to me. Especially powerful moments or events can pierce through the veil of time and distance, but little else is there. I would be cautious trying to uncover his past. He is taking his first steps away from serving the Dark Side, and the answers you both seek may only lead him back towards it. Revenge is never a substitute for justice, but that could be his path, unless sheparded by calmer voices."

"Caution, and discretion, young Jedi, in all things. In the past, we were lambasted for being too reticent, too unwilling to take action until we were sure of the consequences. In the Galactiv Civil War, we rushed in to save the Republic, and to lead the Clone Army, to the ruin and detriment of all that we cared about. If nothing else, learn from our mistakes."

"Yeah..It's hard to have so much taken from you and no way to get it back. I have to trust that AG's idealism will come on top. But I had to ask, cause if I found I had a family like that, I'd want to know." Koi sighs running a hand through her hair. In some ways the First Order is almost like the fire that killed her father -- a destructive force that you can't reason with. But worse, because people chose to make it that way.  A forest fire is at least impersonal. "I'm going to do my best, but..I'm not smarter than a hundred Jedi. I'm lucky to have Oro and AG to keep me humble and Wix to be cleverer than I am. But how do I know the right thing?" The last is more of a rhetorical question, and an unhappy one.  Not even a Jedi can control the reaction of others.

Koi stands and dusts herself off. "Alright, let's see how I can get this database out of your ship. Even if things don't go as planned, hopefully this will help a lot of people. And I'm all ears to any advice.."

"I don't know you didn't ask for it, but my advice would be to leave it to the professionals" Mel piped in, having swooped the Jawa up in his arms as he made his way to the ship.

"Alright friend. This is delicate work that my hands can't work. I need you to listen very carefully and follow my precise instructions in order to get the necessary components out without destroying them. Can you do that?"


"Utinni!"

Mel looked over to you "I'm guessing that means yes. You should and the other tadpoles should start heading back. We'll be right behind you, have the captain come pick us up on the way."

"There aren't any professional that want this job.." Koi grumbles good naturedly. She tries to hide a pang of dismay, and even jealousy, as Mel brings Wix over to help him get the data from the Jedi ship. Once Mel would be asking me to do such a pleasant and interesting job..  She turns away with shame, I can't do everything. And I volunteered for this. even if I would rather be investigating a cool ship. It's childish to have such selfish thoughts..Wix deserves a turn too." she rebukes herself silently.

"Back to the village, everyone?" She suggests with a cheer that she doesn't really feel.

Your old friends nod in agreement and rise to their feet. Seeing this, Tsareevah and Musa Khund inherently follow suit.

"May the Force be with you, Jedi" With these final words, the ghost of Jedi Master Akoda fades away.

The descent down moves quickly, as it is far easier on the elder.

"Glory of days is this!" Musa proclaims loudly "I feel years younger than I did but a few hours ago"

"That's because you're going downhill grandfather. The journey home is always easier than the expedition from it."

The old native laughs "There is some wisdom in these words, but you still do not understand. A burden that has been on my shoulders for most of my life has been finally lifed. There were times where I doubted if what I saw was real, if there really could be such a thing as beings from beyond our land."

He turned to you, having taken a moment to pause at the corner of the impromptu path "I should very much like to leave the ground, as you do. This will likely be my last chance to see with my own eyes, what is beyond."

Listens to Musa with a quiet smile. Maybe she won't have as much time to spend fixing ships and mechanical things.  But there are other problems worth fixing, and it's good in a different way.

Koi considers thoughtfully before responding warmly in his language

After a moment, she adds.  she gestures to her friend,  She adds the last ruefully, clearly directed at herself. Koi adds more seriously, almost wistfully.

[Language unknown: "Wilameyin, oveen lo inelo iousheoun wit pl o beave. Setateiouica, acnce ndic strhas'outast ati di ingar t prusom naprwi."] On this at least, the generations could agree. For now, it is all they would need to agree on. The remainder of the journey was quiet, at least for the sentients. The moon was alive and thriving, with a constant chattering of local wildlife, that was more than enough attention for your shipborne colleagues. Tsareevah and Musa Khund were able to evade predatory animals, making an indirect path to the Gamorrean Rose.

Torin stood outside on the gate, watching and waiting, rubbing his alien hands with a cloth, no doubt cleaning after tending to something on the ship. His breathing mask made an expression impossible to read; an immediate contrast to the gobsmacked look of the the two locals.

"Captain Ploon, this is Leader Tsareevah and Elder Musa.  Leader Tsareevah would like to come with us and represent her planet's interest among the senators of the New Republic." Koi stands as straight as she can, trying to look like the Jedi that Master Akoda believes her to be. "Also, Elder Musa would like to have a ride into orbit so that he can see his planet from above." She adds after a moment, "and Mel would like a ride down the mountain because he doesn't want to walk." She can't help a grin at the last part.

"It not only be my pleasure, but an honor." He replied as he tossed his cloth away, holding his arm out for the Elder. It wasn't taken, but the Captain certainly didn't mind.

"Over here is...never mind" He laughed to himself, recognizing that his narrated tour of the ship would be pointless, on multiple levels. His two guests were looking at every inch of the machine, no doubt with countless questions, being lead to the cockpit.

"Koi, take the co-pilot seat, if you could." With a bit of pantomime, Torin was able to coach the two to strap themselves in on their own, before the ship started to take off, floating low  to the ground.

Koi slides into the co-pilot seat with a thrill of excitement, even if she has co-piloted more than a dozen times. She translates as needed, and hopes her familiarity with the ship will help their guest feel at ease. "Do you want to take a trip around the planet before we pick up Mel and Wix?" She asks playfully.

"I like your thinking, but we'll reverse the order. I believe everyone would approve of a scenic view of this little moon before we deposit our old friend back with his people."

The Gamorrean Rose had an uncomfortable lurch off the ground as the engines hummed and pulled it off the ground, before hovering close to the ground. Torin took no small amount of joy in looking behind him at the faces of the aliens and their excited faces.

"Never get to have kids, but I gotta imagine this feeling must be pretty close" He coyly remarked to you as he slowly gave his ship some juice, gaining some altitude along with speed. While nothing flashy or dramatic, Torin was banking the ship left and right, a bit further than was particularly necessary. It was still enough to show the basics of what a starship could do, and enough to thrill the distinguished guests.

The small show done, he eased the ship down at the base of the mountain, where Mel and Wix were waiting.

It really is a beautiful planet. Koi thinks to herself, smoothly managing the co-pilot controls on the routine flight.

"My thoughts exceed the words to express them" Musa replied. His breathing was a little heavy as he tried to process the immensity of everything. A society that had not even been able to pacify a creature to ride or use a beast of burden was now about to travel the stars.

"This is a truly awesome sight, and yet, it is problematic. It causes me to wonder about how wrong we are about other things. I fear what this may mean for our beliefs."

The Gamorrean Rose dropped carefully, to allow the last two crew members to come aboard, Wix triumphantly carrying the ships storage drive overhead with both hands.

To be fair, no one had been able to ride a Krayt dragon either -- it's not like this planet has many cute, fluffy or cooperative creatures larger than Wix.

Koi can almost feel the despair and doubt chilling Musa Khund's heart, and she's sure that she's supposed to say something.  Something special, and true, and encouraging.

May the Force be with me..  She takes a deep breath and lets her racing thoughts clear.  What would my father say in this situation..?

 Koi begins softly, and her voice caries something of her own heart ache. Finding out she was a jedi. Finding out how vulnerable she and her friends are to bad men. Find her own limitations.

The young lady beams at the encouragement. Without further comment or note, Torin quickly takes off again, now heading to leave the atmosphere of this vibrant moon. Both of the new aliens were grapsing their chairs tightly, even as the ship moved at comparatively slow speed for a ship of this class to depart. Clearing out into space, the day broke to the eternal night of space, the billions of small lights of distant stars gleaming in front.

Torin thoughtfully brought the ship to a parked speed, allowing the guests to depart their chairs and look. Musa Khund and Tsareevah both exited quickly and moved immediately towards the glass, with a look of absolute wonderment
