Elven's Interest Check (Fandom and Non-fandom)

@YourHeart I'm probably at my limit for number of RPs which I can handle right now, I'm afraid! ^^;

Elven's Interest Check (Fandom and Non-fandom)

@CorsettDoll Definitely! Did you have a specific plot in mind (if not, I have a few ideas!)

It's kinda late over here but I can shoot you a PM tomorrow and we can brainstorm? (:

Slightly shorter this time, but it seemed appropriate for this one XD

Aria chewed her lip silently as Neta recounted her story, the Champion finding herself at a loss for words. She couldn’t imagine the strength of will that the pilot possessed to keep herself going after losing yet another loved one in much the similar way as her first husband. “I’m sorry, Neta….But for what it’s worth, it sounds like your kids take after you too, they’ll be fine.” she offered a reassuring smile. “And I promise we’ll do everything in our power to make sure that you get back to them.”

As the topic at hand turned to how they would get down to the surface of Malachor V, however, the Champion fell momentarily silent as Yerbol asked for her opinion on Neta’s suggestion. In her mind’s eye, she saw brief flashes of memory: blaring alarm sirens, the scream of warped metal, sour kolto burning her lungs and eyes as she breathed it in, quickly pushing it away to keep her thoughts objective rather than overridden by her own fears. Still, the Champion faced Neta with a slight grimace to her features.
“No offence, Neta, but the callsign of this maneuver alone doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in its success.” she sighed, running a hand through her hair. “But I suppose it DOES have some merit to it, steering a little shuttle between the four of us would be close enough to the size of the ship we navigated before...so it WOULD be possible.” her frown turned back to Neta then. “But then what about YOU, Neta? How long can you dodge debris up here in this ship? Not to mention comms-wise we’d probably be radio silent, I doubt we could get ANY kind of signal through those electro fields, from the surface at least….Not that I doubt your abilities in any way Neta, but this isn’t Quensu, it’s a literal graveyard for hundreds of ships and planets. It’s not safe to hang around in, and who knows what we’ll find down there.” a pause, then: “I don’t like it. At all. But I don’t suppose we have much of a choice at all if we want to find out what happened to Revan and Bastila. This is our best shot at getting down there to check it out.”
Clearing her throat, the Champion shuffled her feet. “But if you don’t mind, I think I might take up Kytra’s suggestion myself, I’ve got to clear my head before we drop out of hyperspace, if we’re REALLY going to pull this off.”

_________________________________

The shuttle that Neta’s ship was equipped with was far more high-tech and sturdy than the rickety old thing which the Qyaari had first boarded on their journey to Zinuthra in the company of Roan and the others, and that in itself was reassuring.
“So...how does this work again?” Kytra mumbled as she strapped herself into her seat. The interior was somewhat cramped, with two full grown men, two Sith hounds about the size of a grown man apiece and a slightly smaller human and Selonian cramped into the smaller corners (by their own suggestions, since they could fit more comfortably than either of the men).
“When Neta drops the shuttle after we come out of hyperspace, we should be able to clear the worst of the debris field so that we can use the Force to push and pull the shuttle through the eddy currents of the stratosphere.” Aria explained as she settled into her own seat, both hounds close by. She turned towards her husband, asking:
“Do you think you’d be able to throw a shield around the shuttle, like we did last time? Then the rest of us could help you maintain it. That would mean we’d have a bit more leeway for stray debris bumping into us, we don’t want to damage this thing if we can help it, we might need it to get back up again.”
“Are you sure we’ll make it all the way to the ground?” Kytra squeaked, her whiskers quivering in anxiety.
“Ninety nine percent confident.” the Champion nodded her head, “We managed it before. Of course, there’s no way to GUARANTEE it but the calmer your thoughts while you’re trying to work, Kytra, the easier it will be.”
“That’s easy for you to say, YOU’RE not afraid of anything!” Aria wanted to scoff at the rife inaccuracy of that comment, but felt that doing so would be rather unhelpful, the last thing they needed was to be making the youngsters any more nervous than they already were. Instead, she simply chuckled and shook her head.
“I know it’s easy to say and difficult to do, but just try to keep your head on straight, okay? If it helps, try not to think of this as the “life or death” situation and try to think of it as just another classroom meditation drill.”
“With chunks of asteroid and space debris bumping into the windows every few seconds?!”
“Close your eyes and plug your ears, then.” Aria retorted calmly. “Trust me, you don’t NEED to see anything to be able to do this, you only need to feel the currents within the Force, and you can do that without concentrating so much on what it IS that you’re moving.”
Kytra fell quiet, the contemplative frown on her face a telltale sign that she was considering her Master’s instructions and logically trying to analyse their likelihood of success. The Selonian finally lifted her head again and glanced across at Ethan.
“Do you think we can do it?”

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Yeah I get what you mean, plus it means we get to see her again finally! I did miss her being around to bail them out of trouble ;) ahaha

Oh for sure, I'm super excited about this arc, not gonna lie. I'm gonna have to do some researching/refreshing of the Malachor part of KOTOR II to double check things but if my train of thought is correct there could be a LOT of trouble waiting down there for them XDDD

You never see it coming[Freedomliveson/The Elvenqueen]

Nah don't worry, it's great! I can totally work with that. Poor Neta, too ;w; she's been through the ringer hasn't she?

I'll get them into the shuttle and heading for Malachor maybe and then you can do landing/first impressions, how does that sound? (:

“Believe me, it can be a daunting thing to think about. But it's important to remember that's why you have a partner. More often than not, once you're Champions you'll be working together. Looking out for each other.” Aria explained. “There'll be times where it's not easy, but your ability to be resourceful and work things out will get you through it. Hopefully, that's what we can teach you to do.”
“I hope so.” Kytra managed to smile, reassured by the Champions’ words and certainly helped in her own confidence by Ethan’s infectious excitement about their latest mission. The boy had a ridiculous amount of knowledge on ships and space-faring tech for his age which Aria had to admit was startling, though she would not say so out loud. Thankfully, before the conversation could go on for too much longer, Neta had summoned them to the CIC for debriefing.
“Why would anyone want to live in a system full of space junk anyways?” Kytra frowned uncertainly as she studied the projection Neta had called up in front of them. “Even if it WASN’T illegal.”
“People that don’t want to be found, clearly.” Ethan supplied, only backed up by Neta’s assertion that criminal activity was rife within this sector.
“So we’re not going to get through to five without a fight.” Aria sighed heavily. “Even if we’re not flying visible Alliance colours when we approach, I’m pretty sure they’d recognise an Alliance transponder code when they saw it; they’d blast us out of the sky before we got a chance to say ‘don’t shoot’!”
“I don’t know if I like the idea of shooting people first…” Kytra mumbled. “Seems a little, below the belt…”
“Either that or they’ll do the same to us.” Aria shrugged her shoulders. “We don’t have to blast them into chunks, just take out their guns if they start shooting, so we can get through.”
It only took one look at Neta’s dour expression to know that the smugglers, vagabonds and other assortment of miscreants would be the LEAST of their worries when they jumped out of hyperspace. “....Okay, Neta, what are we looking at?” the Champion asked, turning to face the former spec ops soldier. As the redhead zoomed in on the planet and indicated the floating chunks of vastly varying shapes and sizes that orbited the space around Malachor V, Aria grimaced silently. Kytra stood up straighter, her beady eyes fixated on the “debris”.
“...That’s a lot of debris….didn’t think it’d look this bad.” the Selonian admitted. “There’s got to be a way for us to get through it.”
“Not without knowing what the gravitational patterns are, and without surface scans…” Aria shook her head slowly. “The chances of us getting those aren’t looking good.”

In the back of her mind, she became aware of Yerbol’s idea as it came to him, turning her head to face her husband as he verbalised the train of thought.
“I don’t know....” she admitted. “Maybe?”
“Do what?” Kytra looked between the two Champions, her ears flattening against her head.
“When the Qyaari, before we BECAME the Qyaari in truth, first came into the region where Zinuthra and Quensu are found, we used the Force in order to manipulate the air eddys around the ship to get us to ground safely.” Aria explained. “Or else we would’ve never gotten through the electrical storms without ending up part of the planet’s mountain feature.”
“That doesn’t sound so bad.” Kytra’s optimistic smile faded slowly as the Champion before her pinched the bridge of her nose and heaved a sigh, weighing their chances.
“The problem is that this ship is a lot bigger than the old one, and there are only four of us here. The amount of energy it’d take to move a ship this big could kill one of us.”
“Hrrrmm?” Chwuq’s head butted into the Champion’s hand, the tomb beast snuffling loudly as if to remind her of it’s presence on board. “...Okay, six of us.” Aria amended. “But even then, it’s a big risk...”
And their alternative was to be blown into space dust before they even touched the planet’s surface. Just another routine day in the not-so-office, of course.
“If we can’t move the ship, could we move the debris AROUND the ship?” Kytra suggested, her brow knitted together tightly.
“The risk would be much the same, reaching out through the ship’s hull to get a grip on it...either way, we’re not gonna touch the ground if we don’t shift SOMETHING around.” Aria huffed, clasping her hands together as she stared at the hologram and chewed her lip. “It’s just a question of which one is most likely to yield good results. If we focus and work together we should be able to pull it off.”

“In that case, if it’s alright Master I think I should like to retire until we get there. I’d like to meditate, get some practise in and make sure I’m ready.” Kytra requested.
“I can hardly refuse that.” Aria nodded in agreement. “Off you go, both of you. Neta will contact you through comms when the time comes.” when both the apprentices had been dismissed and the Champions were left with their pilot in the CIC, Aria turned to face the redhead once more.
“It really is good to see you again, Neta.” she managed a faint smile, “Although, and don’t take this the wrong way, I REALLY wasn’t expecting to see you out in the field again for, well...ever. Thought you’d be home, with the kids.” a worried frown creased the Champion’s expression. “Neta did...did something happen on Alderaan? I understand if you don’t want to talk about it, but….?”
