SECOND STORY- Light Side Play Area (JediOasis, RC, Gundark, Phinney)
Coruscant
It has been three months since the Battle of Naboo and the death of the famous Solitaire Qui-Gon Jinn. His apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, has returned to the Temple, in some controversy, with a young boy who Qui-Gon wished trained.
The Order is uneasy. Such a move is unprecedented. And Qui-Gon had built up a reputation of invincibility. No-one can understand his death. The Council is staying silent on the subject. Master Yoda is reported to be in 'deep meditation' on the matter. No-one one is sure exactly what happened on Naboo, only that good apparently prevailed.
The good news has been the recent election of ex-Naboo Senator Palpatine to the Supreme Chancellorship. Unlike his likeable but weak-minded predecessor, Palpatine is beginning to get things done. First on his agenda has been to get to grip with issues that threatened to tear the Republic apart, just like the crisis at Naboo had. He has requested the help of the Jedi Council in this endeavour, and this is where you come in.
Another small problem is quickly turning into a crisis. An outlying association of planets known as the Damagran Confederacy has threatened to decalre independance from the Republic, siting the breakdown of Government in the outer systems and the inability of the Republic to maintain control as it's reason. The central planet, Damagran, will set the lead of the others- they followed Damagran into the Repulic 1000 years ago, and they will follow it out now if the crisis continues.
Pirate attacks have been plaguing the outer systems for some time. Palpatine has decided to make a positive example out of Damagran. If the pirates can be stopped by the Republic, then perhaps Damagran can be persuaded to stay.
Resources are limited, but a two-fold plan has been devised. The Republican Navy has sent out a battlecruiser to the Confederacy to enable it to fight the pirates better. And The Council has agreed to send a small band of Jedi Knights, both to deal with the problem on a more personal level.
If you work for the Council, then you are one of those Knights. If you don not (i.e. you are a Renegade), then you are visiting the Temple for one reason or another, and perhaps have agreed to help..
None of you yet know how much worse the situation is than it looks. Yet for some reason... that you can't quite put your finger on... you all feel uneasy about this deceptively simple mission...
The Dark Side players will be making the first major move in this game. You people won't be leaving Coruscant until they have acted (as their actions will speed the urgency of your mission).
Before that point, feel free to socialise, introduce yourselves, make plans, talk to the Council about your fears (more recommended for Masters than Knights), or anything else relevant you can think of.
The major action should start in a few days once Dim is back and we can kick off the plot.

Phinney is standing outside the council chambers. Waiting for is promotion to jedi knight, He fears thought that if he is promoted to knight that he will be chosen to go to Damagran. He does not want to go there instead he wants to be sent on a different mission, one much less dangerous. He thinks that the knights should not be sent there.

'Phinney?' says Trorn, a disciple who acts as the liasion to the Council.
'The Council will see you now'
He beckons for you to enter.
(Phinney- you selected a Ronin as your template, right? Do you want to change your mind? A Ronin wouldn't be worried about being a Knight, yuo see... he doens't follow the code...)

....as the Jedi known as Oasis exits the Jedi Council he see's the young, soon to be Knight Phinney and bows his head. The door closes behind him, and Oasis realizes that Phinney is about to receive the same news that he heard just a few moments ago, that he is to go to the planet Damagran to settle the conflict that has arisen. Oasis had reasoned he would be one of the few Jedi Knights selected to go, and despite the strange feelings he couldn't help but antipate leaving the Temple for Damagran, where surely adventure awaited. As he was walking down the corridor, he heard Master Windu from inside the Council Chamber, "Welcome Phinney..."

When yuo enter the Council Chamber, Phinney, the most notable thing is Yoda's absence. Still, even when is is not there people seem to treat his seat as something to be revered.
Trorn closes the door behind you, staying outside. He also tries to catch the attention of Oasis, if he wishes to talk to him...
In the Chamber, the Council eyes you carefully, Phinney. They all have the wonderful ability to make you feel small, no matter how good you are.
"Well, then," begins Ki-Adi Mundi, after Windu has welcomed you in. "It's is easy to sense what you are wating for. And we can tell you, young Phinney, that you HAVE passed the tests..."
"The Council grants you the title of Jedi Knight, Phinney," says Windu. "You are a Padawan no longer."
Before you can answer, Mundi speaks again.
"But as you know, the life of the Knight is that of the deepest and most serious commitment. I have to tell you now that you may be called upon to act sooner than you anticipated..."

"One more thing, Phinney," says Mundi as you leave.
"Talk to Oasis. He should be nearby. And he should be able to tell you more."

"Yes Master" As he exits he stops to talk to Oasis for awhile. " Oasis do you have any idea why Yoda is not in his usual place?"

'Aaaahhh.....' says Trorn, walking over to the both of you. 'That's actually something I wnated to talk to you both about... this is just a personal request from me, you understand? Not an order. But I think it would be nice if we kept any discussion on Yoda's absence to a minimum. I mean, there's already enough unfounded rumour running around on this place. It's bad for the young Padawans, you see. Let's keep our anxieties proeprly focussed, eh?'
Trorn is annoying, but it is difficult to doubt his dedication to the cause. Whether you do as he says or not is up to you.

"Good good!" says Trorn, with a patronising smile. He returns to waiting outside the Council Chamber doors.

Meanwhile...
There is a disturbance in the Force.
Chaos is coming to the Galaxy. Elusive threads threaten to tear the Republic apart. You try to reach out and grab these threads, but they slip away from you.
Somewhere in the Galaxy the trouble strikes. You see a harsh rocky planet with a settlement around a dead volcano, with much pain and death coming from it
You zip away from that planet, and soon you see another, a world that is bright white. There is some form of platform nearby, and you see inside that platform. There are... people imprisoned there, and there are people fighting... a LIGHTSABRE fight...?
And for just a moment, you catch sight of a handsome man with pure hatred in his mind...
And then, Master Gundark, you wake up in your chambers, sweating slightly, your vision over.

...Meanwhile, back in Phinney's chamber, he and Oasis begin discussing their newest mission. "I am sure you to have had your misgivings about this mission. Nobody can place a finger on it, but a disturbance in the Force unlike any I have ever felt is coming from the planet to which we are to be sent. I fear the darkside may be growing" Oasis stated, waiting to see Phinney's reaction...

(Just a quick point- because you are all excpetional people, you have this certain feeling that something is very wrong, which is something others have not felt yet. Gundark's vision, especially, gives you good cause to be worried. So talk of the rise of the Dark Side is perfectly valid.
Just in case though... remember, every Jedi knows that the Sith have been extinct for a millennium, and Dark Side Jedi are exceedingly rare. It would take more than few bad feelings to start suspecting such things... you will get cause enough eventually, of course.
Right now, you suspect the Dark Side is rising in the form of greater evil from the people as a whole. When you discover there are indiviudals behind it, you should be considerably surprised.
Thanks for listening, and keep playing!)
Note- just added Trorn to the Profiles thread. That place will be used to keep a record of the important charatcers you meet. Trorn isn't actually THAT important, but I thought I would demonstrate the principle. Please feel free to add descriptions of yuor own characters if you have thought of them.

"Come let us find Master Gundark, the Council made me aware that she would be joining us. I don't have to tell you she is one of the wisest Jedi Masters, perhaps she can shed some light on the darkness in our visions...."

Meanwhile, at the Council chambers, RC has arrived. He has been summoned before the Council once again.
It has been 4-years since his return to the Jedi Order, but he is still hesitant of the Council, knowing how they were unhappy with his decision to leave the Order 14-years earlier.
Master Yoda was particularly scathing in his condemnation and, to this day, RC still finds it hard to talk with the Jedi Master.
“Trorn,” RC greets the Jedi, bowing low. “I have been summoned before the Council."
