USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (JEDI)- Purity

Roan, we are very much waiting on you.

Sienar will come to speak to Gallagher shortly aftwrwards...

... but when I carry on that scene, it will not be in the public thread. Instead, Gallagher will carry on via PM... from now until the conclusion iof the story...

Dramatic! May the Force be with you guys in your investigation. I hope it goes well...

Gallagher will back away from the door when he hears Sienar coming out of it, attempting to hide the fact that he is eavesdropping.

"We no longer have time to spare, if we ever did. Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry because I can't wait to go hacking apart the Basillica. If Kathya isn't dead yet, she soon will be, and we need her alive. If there's any chance I can get to her I've got to take it. There's no time. Trust me, I'm not going to rush blindly into a confrontation with Seinar or Gallagher."

Jelena thinks.

"Let me know if my assistance is needed," Jelena says. "I really should contact Ithrorn. It sounded urgent. Just remember that we have been slow to gather the information we need to unravel Sienar's scheme. We should not neglect what we now have. Are you sure you will be safe?"

Roan, I think you should address the bug-canister-being.

"Slow is indeed our problem. I don't want the information your contact sent you neglected. We also don't want to lose Kathya, if we can get her. ANd Roan has a task for himself. We are working as a team here. I promise, my intentions are only on Kathya right now. I will contact you both if I feel a confrontation with Seinar or Gallagher is imminent. Trust me."
As a measure of trying to prove his stability, Andro stands very still and waits for Jelena's confirmation, instead of making his words a demand. Although inside, his every muscle is itching to react. Time is running out, if it hasn't already.

Jelena gives him an affirming nod.

"I will keep you updated on the situation and join you once I have discussed things with Ithrorn and Zaland," Jelena says.

Well I will still wait on Roan; that is too significant a plot point he is at to miss out on.

-

Andro rushes off alone, and in the background we can hear the collective noise of the audience slapping their foreheads...

(You let Andro run off in there by himself Jelena!!! Even if he was not extremely suspect... NEVER split the group before the big confrontation!)

And I should have gone with my gut instinct on that one... too late to recall Andro?

Yup.

I guess we will have to ride out our storm of dumb mistakes, then...

Jelena will get in touch with Ithrorn.

I will greet the being, and introduce myself.

It talks via a voice synthisiser, but it often seems unsure about correct inflection and use of pauses.

Greetings. Master Jedi.

"I have not seen you before, did you just arrive? I must admit, your presence surprised me."

(Does this being agree with what my senses told me? Or did I miss something?"

ANdro intends to behave himself. And if it comes to it, he can hold off Gallagher or Seinar for a while.

In what sense 'agree', Roan?

Does it conform to what I sensed? Or am I still sensing other beings that I don't see.

Yes it does, it is what you were sensing.

No. I have. Been here for some while. Like. The others.

"I must apologize, for I do not recognize you, from what planet do you originate?"

I am. A Colony. From Kio.

Oh, a Kio colony... yes, a group intelligence, always confusing for a Jedi to sense (like one of those optical illusions that changes what it is from the angle you look at it at, so these seem to be lots of minds one moment, one mind the next).

Kio insects are very small indeed and are industrious workers. The Kio are well known for their technological prowess, in that the individual insects can work on building technology at a micro level, which is a handy perspective.

In fact, as far as you know, the entire Kio race is pretty much part of the Techno Union.
