Yerbol had stayed with Manso to monitor the young Twi’lek’s progress with the old training droids, Aria occasionally glancing towards the doorway they had disappeared through, though the stronger emotional link between herself and Yerbol would let her know fairly promptly if anything untoward happened. There was so much else to organise, that she didn’t really have the time to be concerned about whether they would have the chance to interact again for many hours. Their current topic of discussion was Takree’s beacon idea, Aria turning her attention back to Neta as the pilot asked her a question. 
“Crystals...of course!” she smacked her forehead with her palm, glancing over her shoulder at her father. “We could do that...right? They’d reflect light?” 
Roan’s eyebrows pulled together in a thoughtful frown as he seemed to consider their chances with the idea, before he nodded slowly.
“...Yes, I think so. There’s a chance we could get them to absorb enough Force energy to make them reflective. We’d need enough crystals to cover a large enough area, though.”
Aria nodded slightly, waving Vano and Takree over. “Alright, take Vano and Takree with you and see what kinds of crystals you can pull up. The bigger the better, I would assume.” she looked to Roan again, “Though daddy knows what he’s doing so...if he says you should be looking for something, then just look for it.” the trio were dismissed with their ‘marching orders’, leaving just Aria, Janika and Neta in the main foyer. “Janika and I can head out and scope out the best area to put the beacons while they’re gone….think you can show us the kind of formations we’d need to use?” 
It was probably a stupid question to ask. Of course Neta knew how to arrange a beacon formation. The former spec ops was all too eager to put her knowledge to good use, drawing some (overly detailed) diagrams to illustrate her explanations and yet Aria and Janika still struggled with confusing one placement area from the other, much to Neta’s frustration. They were still trying to lay out indents for the crystals to rest in when the others returned with a suitable supply of crystals to find Neta gently scolding the two young girls for getting her directions wrong AGAIN. 
“Hey, if you think you can do a better job than us why don’t YOU lay them out?” Aria snapped, then quickly placated the harsh statement with. “I’m sorry Neta, but this is REALLY confusing, could you just slow down and take it one rock at a time?” 
“Well, we could all help now that we’re back with the crystals.” Takree shrugged, sidestepping past Aria and Janika to crouch down and plop one of the rocks he had been carrying into the small dip in the ground. 

It did make the task somewhat easier. Roan and Vano, being the two oldest of the group and thus most experienced with Force manipulation, could manipulate the facets to enhance their reflective properties, while the four younger ones planted them in the correct formation under Neta’s directions. Once she was satisfied with their work, the redhead excused herself and returned to the communal area to monitor communication channels (and the weather systems); which was just as well  because at that precise moment a call came through on the comlink which she had to attend to. 

Not fancying being outside in the mud and sleet while they waited to see if the crystals would do as they expected, Aria had been hovering closer to the complex’s main entranceway when she felt a sudden surge of surprise from Yerbol and heard the Knight and Manso shouting from one of the training rooms. Frowning, she whipped her head around to glance back inside, hoping that wasn’t spelling more trouble for them...
