(oohh, milky moonlight...I like that a lot! Mind if I steal that phrase? xD)

"No, and nothing will make sense until we have our minds cleared, which means getting off this cursed rock." 

[i]Cursed it is![/i]

He shook his head, waiting for Ria to board the shuttle before he clambered into it, slamming the hatch control on the left of the entrance with the side of his fist. As the door closed, he threw his robe on the back of the co-pilot's chair, his large frame collapsing into the seat. His right hand moved to massage his temple, eyes shutting for a few moments. That last whisper that had flitted through his mind would hopefully be the end of whatever had infected him in the tomb. And if it wasn't...well, the Masters were two days away. He needed to hold on. For both their sakes.

He had told Leoria upon the jump to hyperspace that he would be "shutting his eyes for a bit" and to wake him at the first sign of trouble. Trouble never arrived, which prompted the Knight to fall into a deep slumber, hours flying by. His muscles would twitch every so often, a soft mumble here or there, but nothing out of the ordinary that would be cause for alarm. What stirred him from his now twelve hour slumber was a pinging sound coming from the comm unit directly in front of him. He groaned, rubbing his eyes as he fumbled for the comm channel switch. Once he activated the frequency receptor, the projections of their Masters appeared. Mansuto's face looked drained of it's normal dark green hue, his forehead creased with worry. 
"We have been trying to reach you both. This is urgent."
"Master, I thought-"
"We know, we mentioned radio silence, but this is of the utmost importance. You must NOT go back to Coruscant. Do not ask why. We must meet  at Felucia. Sending you the coordinates now. Bring whatever you recovered from the tomb and we will see you there."
"But-" The transmission ended. 
"He needs to make sure that's not a habit." He grumbled, looking to the pilot's chair to find that his companion was not occupying it.
"Hey, Ria? You hear that? We're headed to Felucia. I'll input the coordinates." As he did so, he realized he hadn't had a chance to check in with his friend. 
"Hey, so...there a reason you're not sitting next to your dashing co-pilot? Do I reek?"
