Aria blinked, dumbfounded, at the Miraluka woman for a moment before Jungze’s prompting seemed to register and she fumbled to remember the things she had read that pertained to that name. “Renso Kator, apparently the first of the True Sith to show any real ability to manipulate the Force properly, he formed the very first of their Councils and began to document all the archives in the rest of the library.” she recounted, frowning with some effort, “He had quite a substantial following though not everyone agreed with his ideals and eventually opposing Masters began to challenge his teachings. Didn’t seem all that important to me.” she shrugged again, though apparently Jungze disagreed. “I mean, it’s just like everything else right? Ideologies come and go. Renso’s ideas died out eventually and got replaced with new ones.”
Roan turned his head to glance back at them again.
“Or DID they?”
“....Of course they did!” Aria protested, “His name’s never mentioned again! If he was THAT important don’t you think they’d have remembered to pen his name in?!”

Her protests were met with an amused chuckle from the Sith Lord, who shook his head slowly as he gestured in Yerbol’s direction. “Not necessarily. Perhaps his name had been forgotten by then, but a cult following of that magnitude wouldn’t just vanish completely from existence. There may have been a few of his disciples that continued to try and spread his beliefs, the conflict between them could have led to the start of the genealogies the boy found. Either side could have begun a project like that as an attempt to invalidate the other.”
Aria blinked again, shifting her weight uneasily as she looked between the older Masters, arms crossed over her chest.
“You...you’ve lost me.” she admitted. Roan snorted again and waved a hand dismissively, directing their attention back towards the list on the screen. “Don’t you see that it’s all linked?”
“No...no, I really don’t…” Aria mumbled, exchanging a dumbfounded glance with Yerbol.
“We could probably look back through the lineage records and see if any of the names on the list trace back to this Renso and the original Sith Council. I highly doubt anyone else would have listened to their nonsensical babbling enough to ACTUALLY form a movement like this in order to reinstate their control of the galaxy.”
So Force users Bracknell and Soto, had been picked out in order to carry on the original founder’s teachings about the Force.
Even without eyes, Aria could feel Jungze’s gaze burning into her as she spoke again.
“So...so the voice that spoke in our visions about reshaping the Force, doesn’t want to REMOVE Force users entirely, they just want to...bring Renso’s ideas back?”
“Exactly. But to do that, they have to make sure there aren’t any old Jedi or Sith Masters left that could quash their movement again before it started.” Roan finished, eyes back on the screen again. “Very damn clever, if you ask me.”

They concluded that they should take the list back to their newly arranged base of operations and let Neta and the other operatives see it. They had contacts within the Senate and known galaxy, they had to track these people down and put an end to this before it could take off.

Bracknell let out a breath as the small shuttle descended towards the homeworld. They had been orbiting the planet in the hopes that the two youngsters may return to look for more information, and had been presented with more than they bargained for when they had trooped down with several of the escaped Masters in tow. But The Master’s instructions had been clear. They were to watch and wait, see what the bright little birds uncovered for themselves.

The line had been drawn when they still seemed set on putting an end to their plans rather than seeing the reason in them. Now he had to do only one thing, ensure they didn’t leave the planet with that list.

Oh man it's great hahaha, I actually have to keep double-checking the stuff I write for Ari after writing for Roan and the other Masters to make sure I haven't forgotten that she's still a wee little fledgeling at the moment XD

If I'm remembering correctly we said they were going to find the list of Sith operatives in the library first, and their finding of the list would trigger a trap of some kind that would tip Renso/Bracknell off to them being there and their little brush up with him would ensue from there? O.O feel free to have somebody stumble upon said list in your next post :P

Feel free to take any artistic liberties with the reason for the skittish hounds, maybe they can sense another power watching them somehow or it is just the fact that they don't like the place xD

Arriving back on the True Sith homeworld, they were greeted with an entirely different weather system, which caused some measure of confusion. “It was warmer, before.” Aria mumbled, taking in the coating of frost as the pair tried to find the path they had followed to the tower beforehand. It took some time (and a lot of metaphorically scratching their heads) for them to gain their bearings again but soon after they were back on track and the tower was in sight. The blizzard that had swept through since their last visit had chilled the atmosphere made it a bit harder to anticipate the approach of the tower’s guardians until their piercing cries filled the air.
The older Force users didn’t seem too perturbed by the creature’s despite Yerbol’s cautioning.
“What, them?” Roan snorted. “They don’t look so bad.” Jungze quickly dispatched one of them with a flick of her wrist, a second falling victim to the bolts of energy flung from Roan’s own hand while Voldon dispatched the other two.
“We should be careful.” Aria mumbled as they stepped over the threshold. “Last time we were here, the place was full of illusion traps. Just watch your step, who knows what could happen if we set one of them off.” Of course she felt uncomfortable about giving instructions out to people who had been throwing Force energy around since before she was born, but the last thing they needed was for any of them to be injured or worse, killed.

The place seemed just as quiet and deserted as it had been the first time, which meant their only obstacle to getting to the archive chamber was to pick out the notched staircases they had used beforehand, and to fight off any more of the ice beasts that decided they wanted to come back for another go. After a few more encounters, even the tower guardians seemed to concede that the group’s power was too much even for them.
“That’s right, you’d better run!” Aria crowed after the skinny figures as they retreated. Maybe now they could progress uninterrupted. The group reached the final staircase up to the top of the tower, whereby the Tuk’ata suddenly balked and refused to go any further onwards despite any commands barked at them from Roan. The hounds growled softly and curled back their lips, tails twitching as they crouched in place and refused to move another inch. Frustrated, the Sith Lord instructed them to wait there ‘if it so pleased them’ and keep watch for more of the ice beasts while the Force users progressed onwards. They had thought nothing of the gesture, Roan chalking it up to the difference in the energies on this planet making them uneasy.

In retrospect, that should have been their first warning that something wasn’t quite right. Regardless, they had paid it no mind and stuck stubbornly to their mission objective.

As they reached the library, Aria began to wander off ahead to the shelves she and Yerbol had found the other holodisks on originally, while Roan and the others seemed more interested in examining the room as a whole beforehand.
“Well, this explains where the oaf gets his pompous dress sense from.” Roan snorted as he took in the extravagant decor. “It’s no less overbearing here.”
While Aria agreed that Bracknell’s fashion choices did make him look rather ridiculous, she shook her head at her father and quickly steered him back to their search for documents which could provide them with tactics or other plans they could turn against the True Sith movement and use in their favour. There were enough of them now that they could split off and search several rows and sections at once, which made the search a lot less daunting, but no less tedious. Aria wasn’t sure how long they had been up there, but it had been long enough for her to be bored stiff already.
Found anything useful yet? she muttered to Yerbol, who she could sense was nearby though she couldn’t see him despite her attempts to stand on her toes and peer through gaps in the shelves to try and locate him. None of the older Force users had shouted anything out yet either, presumably absorbed in whatever texts they had come across.
I’ve got some stuff on their old government structure, which is about as interesting as the history of the Galactic Senate, she chuckled sarcastically, but was forced to admit I guess it COULD come in handy, might tell us how they arrange their chain of command, right?

Stehrr

---

Location: The Raven --> The Raven, cockpit

Stehrr was still standing awkwardly as he watched the scene unfolding with the strange prisoner female and the two medics, when he heard Luke’s voice summoning him to the ship’s controls over the PA system. At first reluctant to leave Denali and Kayala in the company of two of their supposed enemies, the Wookiee complied after some firm reassurance from the Echani medic that Morgbra and his patient wouldn’t be inclined to try and harm his friends. Shuffling back through the compartments until he made his way back to the cockpit, Stehrr arrived just in time to catch Sutton’s question to the captain.

"Where are we running to, Captain?"
”《Yes, what we do now, Luke?》” Stehrr grumbled in agreement as he settled into the pilot’s seat and took the controls, fully prepared to carry out evasive maneuvers once they broke the planet’s atmosphere. Now that the Imperials knew they were here, the chances of them slipping away unnoticed were very very slim. ”《Must go somewhere they not follow us. At least place they not find us quickly.》” their current situation was far from ideal, and with Morgbra and Jaina on board the Empire would come looking for them, but they could hope to lose them in the time being at least.

Denali Keesda

Location:

The Raven, medbay --> The Raven, hallway/common area

---

Stehrr disappeared off back to the bridge as the Raven’s engines hummed to life once again and Luke prepared to get them out of this sticky situation they had managed to find themselves in. The ship’s current course would be the least of Denali’s concern, instead he would have to focus on Morgbra and the young woman in front of him. He wanted to protest to the other doctor’s insistence that they keep her away from the medbay, after all how were they going to help her if they didn’t have access to the proper equipment and medicines? But taking in her….strange choice of attire, he didn’t have to do an awful lot of putting two and two together to conclude that she likely wasn’t in complete control of all her mental faculties.

Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he could see Kayala smirking.
“Well, that sounds familiar.” he shot the Face a teasing smirk of his own before the Echani man stepped back as Jaina began to stir and mumbled something to Morgbra. Kayala suggested moving her to her own quarters, and Denali nodded his agreement. If there was anywhere on the ship that was likely to look least like a medbay it would be Kayala's personal space. He kept his distance and let Morgbra talk to Jaina, hopefully he could encourage her along in the right direction with a few words; or failing that if she was too weak to walk still they could always carry her there. Denali thought it would be safer for him to keep his distance and just watch for now unless Morgbra actually asked him to do anything, the woman was his patient and he knew her better than Denali could have hoped to just by looking her over once.

It is isn't it! *shakes head at BioWare* I would've thought it was easier to manage a couple worldwide servers than to separate them entirely into America/EU, too, but I guess not O.O that's a bummer about your laptop charger though! D: well, let me know whenever you can check and I shall see about hopping on over there so I can actually add ya haha

Gosh, if I could train them to make me soup I could make a fortune tutoring other people's ferrets to do the same haha! XD I can stand up and walk around now which is a vast improvement on a few days ago so we're getting there slowly! XD

A New Dawn - A Star Wars RP

haha thanks y'all, slowly recovering and feeling much better! Got most of a post done, will have it up shortly with any luck! :D

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Slowly resurfacing, but I'm not dead thank God! Will be trying to get something out in the next few hours!

I also spent ages scratching my head because I couldn't understand why it kept telling me I couldn't add you on SWTOR because the character didn't exist, but I think I've figured it out: I don't think it works across the separate servers? So if you're on one of the America ones I won't be able to add you or anything if I'm on a Europe one haha XD

Which of the servers are you on? I shall try and create a copy of Ari over there later tonight and see if the theory proves correct haha

Apologies everyone, I'm trying to work on a post atm but I'm REALLY ill right now and my brain has slightly turned to pudding (I can't even get out of bed or walk right now without passing out)

Profuse apologies for holding everybody up and I will try to get something out by the end of the weekend D:

Sum up your week in roleplaying in just 3 words
