STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Runaway

Let's a see a possible distraction, maybe.

How about something that forces him to take his mind somewhere else.

And I'm drawing a blank on that.

The issue is more that he will sense you fooling around.

There is also your own issue of navigating the vents. There are lots of vents...

Xavier sits and ponders.

You know for someone who is supposed to be logical you are not planning this escape very well.

"Be quiet, I'm working on this now and I need silence to concentrate."

That maybe kinda hard since I'm not actually "talking" to you to begin with.

Xavier breathes in deeply, "Very well that is a Valid point"

The problem Xavier knows is that he sensing everything going on in this room. He needs to find something that will either mask him or force the Knight to leave and go somewhere else.

Rex is there some kind of fire alarm thing in the Jedi temple or something similar?

I am not sure if the Temple has a fire alarm, but they have a security alarm. That only comes into use when there is an attack on the Jedi Temple, though. Last time you heard it used was the Yinchorri Uprising four years ago, when soldiers of the Yinchorri tried to infiltrate the Jedi Temple. The effort failed horribly as Master Yoda dealt with the invaders...

Masking, hmm? Do you have Inner Calm/Iron Will?

Nope

Then it will be impossible to sneak past the Jedi Knight.

Then how else can I get out of this situation.

Not by sneaking. Were you still planning on visiting Trax in the hangars?

Yes Xavier was, or perhaps Trax can come and visit me?

It would be easier to visit, you think. What you do from there is up to you.

The New Beginning just barely fits into the hangar. Around are several Jedi starships, all much smaller and of many varieties. Your stolen freighter is immense in comparison.

Trax is repairing some fried wiring underneath it. He ducks his head and walks out from its belly as you show up.

"What can I do for you?" he asks. His pruned face crinkles in a slight smile.

Looking over at the Jedi Knight following him he turns and responds to Trax.

"Nothing just stopping by to see how the repairs are going, friend."

Trax eyes the Knight.

"Who's your friend?"

"Stathos," the Knight offers his name.

Stathos wears Jedi robes of all rustic red-brown, with no outer cloak. His lightsaber hangs from his belt, slightly enlongated as it is a dual-edged weapon. He looks like Jason Statham.

(Darn it he has been named and pictured, I'll have to kill him then hmm)

Xavier looks over the New Beginning , "So then how are the repairs coming?"

Oh snap.

"Almost done," Trax says. "The only problem is the armor plating. The Jedi don't have much they're willing to spare, so it is going to be a rough patch job..."

"Jedi have little use for artificial protection," Stathos says. "Skill is all that's necessary."

"Right," Trax says, skeptical.

"Is there any you can get from outside the Jedi Temple?" Xavier asks.

"Got any credits?" Trax asks.

"Probably not enough to cover the cost. so how soon do you think you can have it ready for travel?"

"Oh, it's ready now... why?" Trax asks.

Stathos frowns. "Yes, why?"

"I just want to know the status of my vessel. You never know when you may need it," Xavier says looking at Trax trying to give a small hint.

Then turns to Stathos, "Always be ready and alert isn't that the Jedi way?"

"It doesn't hurt to be ready for the unexpected," Stathos says. "But may I remind you that you will be confined to the Jedi Temple for an unspecified length of time, young one."
