Yavin

[extras]

=Kam Solusar=

How he had wanted to go in her place but she was needed. He stepped up onto the landing pad of the ship. His mind was filled with worry. It was not that he did not trust Master Katarn's abilities, far from that. He could still not shake the feeling that they were walking right into a trap. He peered up to the image of his wife through the duraglass (?) of the ship as she prepared for take off.

May the force be with you all my love. He spoke to her through the force as he remained standing there. May the force be with them all in the days to come. It was then that he felt a 4th presence aboard the ship as it was all but on it's way. Kam's first thought was that one of the students had snuck themself on board. No one on that ship would have been so reckless as to bring a padawan on this mission would they?

He turned away to return back into the temple where the students were collected. He needed to find out which one of them had gone with the other three masters and inform them. Another thought came to mind. Maybe it wasn't any of his students?! No he could still feel Drevin's presence on this planet...Thank the force. He would be sure to have his every move watched while he was upon this planet. His wife wanted to see the good in this lost to their order to try and bring him around to see the light. His initial instinct was to believe that to be wishful thinking..especially after all the riling up of the other students he seemed to encourage...but it had happened before hadn't it. He would have to meditate on this later..right now there was a missing student to identify.

This was it, they had tried everything. If the ship didnt start this time, there was nothing else to be done about it.

Drevin sat in the pilots seat, running over the start up procedure, V3 kept a safe distance behind him. Drevin took a deep breath and fired the thrusters.

Nothing happened.

He tried them again and again... and again. Nothing. His hands curled into fists. They had tried everything. He felt his anger begin to boil over into rage as he slowly rose from the seat, staring out at the jungle through the transparisteel window.

V3 made the mistake of informing Drevin that the ship was beyond repair. It was all he could take.

Drevin turned on the droid in an instant, his fingers stretched out in front of him as force lightening erupted from the tips. The droid rolled away just in time, sending the deadly arcs of lightening crashing into the still open systems panel instead. Drevin continued the onslaught, causing the lightening to travel all about the cockpit, he no longer cared about what he hit or the damage to the ship.

And then all of a sudden the ships engines sprang to life, knocking him off his feet.

*** Posting as Drevin ***

Drevin looked completely confused as he pulled himself up off the floor. He hopped into the pilots seat and began working the controls with astounding speed, lights sprang to life and alarms began to sound. Yes! He gently lifted the throttle, the ship groaned and bucked slightly but with a whine it began to rise from ground. His grease covered face grinned widely.

"Get yourself ready V3, we're out of here!" He shouted to the droid who was still trying to recover from the lightening blasts. As soon as he was in position Drevin began issuing orders to the droid, the ship would need both of them to fly it. It was still heavily damaged and barely holding together, but it was flying.

The Kath Hound rose above the treetops with a roar, like a giant winged predator rising from its cover. Drevin pushed the throttle forward, the ship rocketed away from the jungle and into the blue sky above. He needed to test its capabilities and limits before he attempted the short hyperspace jump.

Drevin turned the ship around in a wide loop and headed for the jedi temple.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes later he was soaring past the ancient temple in a tight arc, coming very close to clipping one of the giant stone walls. The masters would be furious with the stunt, the students would love it. He made one final pass before blasting off into orbit.

It felt good to be back behind the controls.

-Posting as Tionne-

Lightsaber firmly clipped to her utility belt, Tionne unstrapped herself from her seat, and headed back towards the cockpit door. Gingerly she stretched out through the force, but felt little or nothing save for the others around her that were meant to be there.
She offered Kyle a small shrug and a shake of her silver-tressed head indicating that she felt no danger. Had Drevin decided to come along after all? She sent the thought to both Masters Ikrit and Katarn.

From Ikrit she felt a negative, he too was curious as to who or what had boarded without their knowing. The silence would soon become suspicious she feared.

"I sense nothing but peace...weariness."

*** Posting as Kyle ***

"I sense nothing but peace...weariness."

"Then it certainly isnt our Dark Jedi." The last thing he'd felt from Drevin were excitement and elation. He would probably be off Yavin by now unless Kam had decided to help out with the repairs.

Kyle stood from his seat and made his way down to the cargo hold, probing with his mind. It didnt take long. He unclipped his lightsaber from his belt as a precaution and gestured at the ceiling panel above him, with the use of the force he lifted the panel away and stepped back.

Tahiri Veihla lay cramped into the small hold. Kyle raised his eyebrows, the girl certainly liked to push the boundaries.

"I hope you've enjoyed your flight?"

-Posting as Tionne Solusar-

It seemed Kyle had managed to get to the bottom of their little stowaway problem, and she'd sensed his relief and irritation through the force even before the pannel he had dislodged had hit the decking.
Tahiri?

Stepping gingerly into the hold, just to be sure she had gotten it right, Tionne was confronted with the sight of the now slightly dazed looking student. The girl had clearly been disturbed from a force-aided sleep, and was looking back at them with sleep blurred glances, light streaming into her hiding place.

"How?...." no, she didn't even want to know how, " ...Tahiri, you of all people should know better." she took to chiding the girl rather than asking pointless questions that could not change the situation.

Disappointment laced her words and expression, and Tionne found herself wondering how she'd missed this...how any of them had missed this. Ikrit too had now made an appearance and looked less than impressed by what he'd seen.
"We don't have time to go back." Tionne stressed, as if sensing master Ikrits thought before it had left his white-whiskered mouth.
She then turned to Tahiri, a look of exasperation upon her gentle features, "This is no place for a Jedi student."

(oh, using the extras account was a bit of a bummer)

Tahiri's heart lurched when the trap door unlatched and Kyle Katarn's face appeared. It was inevitable but still rather unpleasant.

"I...had this feeling" she didn't really have an explanation. She had a very bad feeling. The Jedi masters wouldn't accept any excuses. Tahiri didn't know whether to get up or not, it was a funny feeling too.
