The return of the team’s shuttle, along with what were apparently new arrivals, certainly threw a hydrospanner in all of their carefully-laid plans, but Fa was just as assuredly going to deal with it as best as she could. She had already called back Vebra’s scouting team out of safety concerns, in the event that the shuttle’s arrival happened to draw any Sith attention. When Master Gar emerged from the shuttle, he would find that Fa was not there to immediately greet him. Rather, she was in their camp outside the cave, giving orders and directions to her team. She made sure that her soldiers were covering the shuttle to make sure it was hidden the moment the engines powered down, as well as ordering a scan of all known Sith communication frequencies. It was a task made difficult by the propensity of the planet to seemingly jam sensors, but it was not a part of security protocols that Fa wanted to ignore. 

Fa herself did not wear traditional Jedi robes, nor much of anything else. She did not speak nor carry herself with the kind of calm that was usually expected of Jedi. She seemed more like a military commander than anything else at the moment, making sure that each piece of the machine that was her team was doing everything necessary to ensure their safety. Were it not for the lightsabers on her belt, it would be difficult to identify her as a Jedi at all. 

Once she finally had the time to do so, Fa did approach the old Human who had identified himself as Master Gar. Undeniably, Fa was not happy, but she did not want to let it show, at least not yet. There was no gain from starting out by berating this Jedi Master for his dangerous usage of their shuttle, and his unplanned arrival into enemy territory. Unless his business was exceptionally important, he likely did not realize how dangerous his arrival actually was. Even if it was important, there was still no guarantee that he would be familiar with how to operate behind enemy lines. 

Even so, this was the situation that Fa now had to deal with. As much as she wished they had not shown up in such a manner, she did at least need to figure out why they were actually there before saying anything about it. “Master…Gar, is it? Excuse the lack of pleasantries, but if a team of Jedi is arriving [i]here[/i] of all places, then there must be something important happening. I need to be briefed on what you know.” Fa said directly. Her tone did not display anger nor frustration, but it did convey the severity with which Fa was approaching the situation.
