STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Broken

"I will go contact him, then," Vera-Kin says. She will get to the nearest comm unit and send a message to Kashyyyk, in order to get a hold of Barker, her Wookiee Ally.

And while Vera-Kin does that, Rianna will go and quickly pack up anything she may need while away and meet her back there.

Vera-Kin sends her message to Kashyyyk for Barker to join them on Ord Coridari. Her Wookiee friend is confused at first why she would want him to be there, but when she explains the situation, he readily agrees to meet her there.

Rianna, in the meantime, gets a brief lecture from Myraline.

"I do not want him to end up like Quinn," Myraline states. "Rand is a dangerous individual; keep Colby out of harm's way, this isn't his fight. And I know you will take good care of my lightsaber. What happened to yours was a freak accident."

"Do you think I want a repeat of anything remotely like that disaster of an assignment?" Rianna replies, shuddering a bit, though also mildly annoyed that Myraline still lectures her. "I'll have him stay off-planet but easily contactable, or something. I've no intentions of risking anyone else. And I hope to retrieve my own lightsaber if at all possible."

"I cannot imagine what Rand would want with your weapon, if not just to humiliate you," Myraline says. "He knows how talented you are with a saber and what pride you retain for it, after all. Don't give in to his efforts, Rianna... I really cannot stress that enough. The Dark Side is something that can creep up on you; I have seen Knights who thought themselves invulnerable to its charms, only to realize that they are not. I love you as a daughter, Rianna. I would be devastated to hear that you are listening to the lectures of a senile sociopath instead of mine."

"I will be completely honest. Rand frightens me and I do not want to come face to face with him if I don't need to. But I also can't give into my fears," Rianna says, sighing. "I know I'm going to be in danger, and I know that everyone thinks I don't have the right temperament for a Jedi. But I should be safe enough with Master Vera-Kin, else the Council wouldn't have agreed to send me."

Myraline nods, but you still see the worry plainly in her face.

"Alright then," Myraline says. "I have said my piece. Now, let's get you and the Jedi Master back to Colby and you can be on your way..."

The transit by airspeeder back to where Colby is docked is a silent one; Myraline pilots but says nothing during the entire ride. When you have arrived, Colby already has the Viloc prepped for take-off.

"Ready, ladies?" Colby asks when Rianna and Vera-Kin approach.

"I believe we are?" Rianna replies, again looking to Vera-Kin to see if the other Jedi had any objections.

Vera-Kin just gives a simple nod in response to Rianna.

"Then let's get to it!" Colby says, hopping up the ramp of the Gozanti cruiser as quickly as he can. With the Viloc already humming in anticipation of the journey ahead, it is a simple thing for Colby to start the engines. Steam spouts from the underside as Rianna and Vera-Kin, both determined to stop Rand's madness, march up the ramp and into the ship. Myraline watches you go quietly, merely waving.

It lifts off quietly and then rockets away from its docking bay, leaving Coruscant behind at a humble pace before Colby throws the cruiser lurching into lightspeed.

And then it drops out of lightspeed and slows to a leisurely pace once it has reached Coridarian space. Before you floats Ord Coridari, dusty and brown. Even from space you immediately notice the horrendous blight that marks its surface; the Great Coridarian Rift, a scar left on its face by the Sith.

"Here we are," Colby says. "Should be getting a buzz from the military base any second. Never been here before, but some of the other Ords are like that."

Rianna just nods, looking out at the giant rift in the planet and thinking about her vision.

"When they do, I will speak with them," Vera-Kin says. "You go ahead and give them the information they need about your ship, of course, but I'll make sure they don't give us problems."

Rianna is fine with letting Vera-Kin talk, something she dislikes doing herself anyway.

Shortly after, the Viloc is indeed hailed by the military base on the surface. They request your identity and your business on Ord Coridari, as well as statistical information about the ship. Colby handles the last part, but Vera-Kin is up!

Before we do that, I want to see what Rianna thinks, since it is still kind of her mission.

Lana, do we want to march straight in and be all official or are we laying low?

Hmmm, perhaps we should sort of do both? Like, state that we're Jedi and are here on a mission, but it's sensitive enough that we don't want to talk about it in the open or something.

Alright. If we are being official I think we need to go to the military base then, is more what I meant. Go get friend with this General Hirget fellow that runs Ord Coridari.

Oh, yeah, that might be a good idea. See what info we can find out and if they know if Rand is actually on the planet...

"I am Jedi Master Vera-Kin," Vera-Kin says. "I am accompanied by my pilot and another Knight. We wish to land in Ine and visit the regional depot here on Ord Coridari and speak with General Hirget. It is a sensitive matter that Coruscant has sent us to handle."

"Our base was not informed ahead of time that you would be arriving," the comms operator reports. "I will have to report to General Hirget before I can confirm your landing. Please remain in orbit until I receive his express permission or there will be consequences."

Vera-Kin is met with radio silence as she awaits the General's answer.
