STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Runaway

Started by Newjak47 pages

"Yes, Master" Xavier says while giving a slight bow.

He waits for Cabas to continue what happens next.

Cabas' demonstration is finished. He bids the guards that the Force be with them and then brings you to the lift. It takes some time for the lift to return, but once it does, Cabas brings it back up to the Jedi Temple and dismisses you to your quarters to contemplate and medidate.

"The sooner this troubled moment is past, the better," Cabas says, with a reassuring smile. But he still looks as if he is feeling his age creeping up on him.

But contemplation and medidation are not on your mind, Xavier, as you sit in this room of yours.

Firstly is the Council's decision NOT to pursue Friste. You have a terrible feeling that it will not be any great length of time before Friste is ready to strike back at Republican civilians. Someone must stop him.

Second... councilling? Already this room feels like one of those cells in the secretive, locked-away dungeon, for you know that rarely will you be allowed to leave it if you are to be considered a potential danger. You could not stand it.

Xavier tries to focus on his Master's words, but the walls feel like they are closing in. He knows they are not, but he can not shake his mind of it.

Logically placing potential threats away is a wise decision, especially when you can not kill them. Yet something continues to nag in his mind.

What is the matter. Is it the fact that you can not grasp why the Counsel would want to free slaves while doing the same to others. Why let Friste go but not them. What gives them the right!.

No that isn't it though is it? You lack the attachment needed to be concerned with what other people decide. No it is the fact you don't know the difference between those people and the ones you "saved". They mean nothing to you. Cabas and other Jedi feel the difference, but you don't. They are all just pieces of meat aren't they, resources for us to use.

That makes you wonder whether we shall get our own cozy little cell soon huh.

Xavier sits down. One face pops over and over into his head. That of the former Jedi Friste Tem.

One thing is for sure, Xavier. Nobody is going to act against Friste, and you are loathe to stay here and let them talk down to you...

Xavier wants to go after Friste but first he needs to get somewhere to go. He needs a destination, but how to do so?

First you need a way out of the Temple... and then you need a way off of Coruscant...

The ship he brought back with him, and Trax would be perfect to get off the planet.

The New Beginning is a perfect choice. It is, in fact, being repaired by Trax in the Jedi Temple hangars.

Xavier will go and try and find Trax then.

Upon leaving your quarters, you are stopped by a Jedi Knight.

"Whoa, there," he says. "Where are you off to?"

As Master Cabas once told him honesty is the best policy.

"I'm going to go talk with a friend.

Although it doesn't hurt to leave some stuff out huh!

"Oh, alright. Do you mind if I accompany you?"

Ah, you see what this is. The Council is keeping watch over you.

"No sir I have no problems."

They are keeping watch over me. They are the counsel after and very wise.

The problem is that you will not be allowed to leave with him keeping up with you...

Xavier isn't very good at being sneakyhmm

Anyways is there anyplace Xavier can go that the Knight can not follow into?

Only your quarters and the lavatory.

Then Xavier will go into the lavatory for now. He will look for anything he can use to get out of their without using the door, vents that kinda of thing.

The lavatory would actually be in your quarters... but yes, there seems to be a vent.

Then Xavier will use it to try and sneak past the Jedi Knights.

Sneaking past a Jedi Knight... got anything that will help that?
