[SW-TOR] Meanwhile, back at the spaceport... [Finished]

[Auric]

When Catri pulled the pazaak deck from her pocket, Levant was fixed on it. While shuffling the deck he saw something, a figure standing behind Catri. A father or a brother maybe, it had to have something to do with the cards he saw earlier. Things were slowly taking shape in Levants mind. A game of pazaak, a ship, and a male figure. Levant wasn't sure how to go about getting the answers he needed. The Wildcat crew was supposed to be his secondary assignment, but until he caught a glimpse of Raven, Jen, and Cy in a different setting he was stuck on that front. Plus getting information off of non force users was a lot easier then finding anything on Jedi.

He could feel one of this Jedi 'companions' staring him down through the force. Levant was well read in on the histories of Raven and Jen, but Cyrian was still a little unknown to him. Besides knowing that Cy and the council didn't have the greatest history with one another, he knew little about him. Not that it mattered, he was instructed not to trust any of them. Cy being anonymus made him dangerous to Levant. It was much harder to predict the movements of someone you don't know, there would be no piece of mind for him while he was on this ship.

Snapping back he realized Catri had asked a question and he should answer before she assumed they were travelling with a complete moron. "I have no issue in securing slicing gear, grenades, recon equipment, even a permacrete detonator or two but I feel I need to put this out there. He sounds like a careful man. Is it possible he already knows we're coming? There won't be enough Jedi trickery in the force to save us from walking straight into a trap."

[Catri]

Catri slipped the pazaak deck back into her pocket. She smiled as her hand brushed against the homing device Bowdaar had slipped under her belt when he hugged her.

"I 'm pretty sure he doesn't know we're coming. " Catri said

"I'm not so sure about that." Corrin said, his brow wrinkled with concern.

"Do you honestly think he would expect us to be stupid enough to walk right into his compound? Last he heard of us we were high tailing it to parts unknown, and with my family gone we'd have no reason to return to Nar Shadaa for a long time." Catri replied.

"You're probably right, but I've got ...I don't know...a bad feeling about all of this." Corrin saw the puzzled look on Catri's face "I know, I know, I said Raven's plan was a good idea, and I still think it's better than hiding. But things have been strange lately. Growing up I always thought my uncle was a crazy thug who ran a small- time crime syndicate, but I'm not sure if he's as small time as I thought he was. He gets strange calls from highly encrypted sources, and he sometimes disappears for weeks on end without telling anyone where he's going. I'm not so sure what he knows anymore."

[RavenMiles]

Raven looked at Corrin. "That is why you and I will check things out first. We are all most their. So, you better get ready." Raven turned to head for the cockpit. "Master i do not like this. I feel something dark coming." Jen looked at her Master. Raven turned back to her and smiled. "That is why we must go. We are Jedi, It is what we do." Just remember the seven Thing to being a good Jedi, and you will be fine." She smiled at him, as he turned and walked away.

[Auric]

The ship dropped out of hyperdrive. Everyone stopped and moved up into the cockpit. The smuggler's moon was glowing in full view of the star ship. The moon was lit up from pole to pole. It was hard to believe a planet could be so filled with people. Levant had seen Coruscant before, but this seemed different. Levant could feel it in the force, it was somehow desperate like it was caught in a constant struggle. Cy moved back into the pilots chair and began descent into the atmoshpere of the moon.

There were speeders flying in all directions. Cyrian was careful not to get too close to draw attention to the ship. Levant was studying the landmarks and the layout of the sector as they came in for landing. He was a little nervous, it was his first time on a city planet.

The landing pad was filthy and covered in dust and trash. They were fortunate to find a landing pad somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of the sector. Levant walked to the edge and leaned over slightly. It seemed to go on forever. "So, what's on the bottom?" Levant asked. He was only half serious about it, but it was still curious to him. Did all the poeple on this moon just forget there was a ground here at some point.

Levant walked back to the group. "Well from what I saw on the way down, I'm likely to get lost at some point." Walking back towards the the street he turned around. "Raven, I would appreciate if you allowed Jen to accompany us. I would like to observe her in a setting where I can say you had no influence over her decisions. It is your choice however." Levant was baiting him slightly. He wanted to test their bond somewhat. To see how willing they were to be away from one another. 

[Catri]

Catri looked around at  the chaos that was Nar Shadaa and smiled. Many lifeforms said it was filthy,crime ridden,  and dangerous, and in all fairness they were right. Regardless, it was home. At least here most of the dangers were familiar dangers. She knew which streets to avoid unless she brought her brothers, and she knew which of the many criminals who inhabited the moon to avoid as well. Unfortunately, she had ticked off one of the craziest.

"Good to be home." Corrin said

"I wish the circumstances were different." Catri replied. Corrin placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry. Everything's gonna be ok." Then Corrin turned to Raven. "Alright, what's the plan from here?"

[RavenMiles]

Raven smiled at Corrin. "We go and check out your uncle's place. The rest go for the equipment we will need to get in." With that said he raised his hood up. Turning to Jen he said. " You go with Levant." She bowed. " As you wish Master. May the Force be with you." Raven smiled. "May the Force be with us all." He turned and started on his way. Corrin would point or nod, to show witch way to go. It was almost night time when they got to the compound. It was surrounded by a force wall. The front had Ten men guarding it. There where men also walking the wall. Raven and Corrin moved to the back. Their was a gate with only three men. "Come on." Raven told Corrin. "What? Are you crazy." "I just want a closer look. Trust me." With this said. They moved in closer. Raven used the force to make the men think they heard some thing. They moved away form the gate and them. Raven garbed Corrin and with Force speed they where inside. They where just in the court yard when Corrin stepped on a pressure plate. Alarms went off. Red lights where flashing. Raven could hear foot step of many men coming at them. " Tell the others, It is a trap. They knew we where coming." Then Raven used the Force to throw Corrin over the wall. He turned and ignited his lightsabers. Then the court yard filled with men. At lest a hundred men had guns on him. Then Raven saw him Soryn Vel. He was walking through the men clapping his hands. "Good work Jedi Miles. You walked right into my trap." He smiled real big. "Now lay down your weapons and come with me." Raven looked around. He could not win this fight. "In the name of the Republic, Soryn Vel you are under arrest." "Ha ha ha, you are a bold one. This is your last chance." Then Soryn raised his hand. Raven could feel it in the Force. They wanted him alive. He shut down his lightsabers and placed them on the ground. Three men moved up to him. They placed shock binders on him. One of them picked up the lightsabers and took the to Soryn. He cliped them to his belt. "Bring him." They went inside the complex. As they moved in deeper, It hit Raven like a wall. He could no longer feel the force. Soryn stopped and turned to Raven. He hit him right in the face. "That is what pain is without your Force. My partner let me know you where coming. He also let me know How to deal with you." He pulled out a small Holo projector and hit play. A image of Master Housemen appeared on it. " The Jedi are coming for you i will send you some data to help you. But i want Padawan Jen Sim alive. You can kill the rest." The image disappeared and Soryn put the projector back into his belt. "So now i have some new pets." He pointed to the walls. On the walls was a pipe line that looked like it ran through the whole complex. Inside the pipes where a lizards like animals. The Ysalamiri. They could make voids in the Force, and if this place was filled with them. Then no Jedi could use the Force here. "So now we see what a Jedi is with out the Force." They started back down the hall. After a few minutes, the came to a room with chains on the wall. The smell of blood and decay, was stronger here. The me chained Raven up. He was at the center of the room. He could move his arms for now, but it looked like the chains could left him off the ground. "Where are your friends?" Raven said nothing. Soryn pulled out small box with a rd button on it. "where?" Raven said nothing. Soryn pushed the button. Blue light surrounded Raven. Raven felt the shock, and could smell his skin burning. He fell to his knees screaming in pain. Then it was over. Raven climbed up to his feet. "Where?" Raven would not let him win. "In the name of the Republic. Soryn Vell you are under arrest." Then Raven was shocked again. As raven got to his feet, Soryn smiled. "You will be fun to test. How much can you take Jedi. Tintin!" Then a human man came into the room. He was three time the size of Raven. "Tintin make him undersand. Tintin walked up to Raven and hit him in the gut. Rave felt ribs break as he hit the ground. "Polite courtesy." Raven said as he got to his feet. Tintin hit him again. "Compassion" Tintin hit him again. "Complete sincerity" He was hit again. "Honesty and justice." He was hit again. "duty and loyalty." He was hit again. "Courage." He was hit again. "Honor." He was hit again. All Raven could do way lay there. "This is what i live by. You will not break me." Soryn hit a button on the wall and Raven was raised into the air. "Is that so?" Soryn waled up to Raven. He walked around behind him. He then turned on Raven's lightsaber. He held it close to Raven's back. Raven screamed out in pain as the skin on his back began to burn. "Have you ever cut some ones arm or leg off, with this lightsaber?" With that said he brought the lightsaber down across Raven's forarm. Cutting right through it. Raven screamed as he hit the floor. "Give the Jedi a hand. Ha ha ha ha. Take him to the Med bay. Get him a new arm. Buy no drugs. I want to see how much more he can take." Tintin grabbed Raven by the neck and dragged him out of the room. Soryn followed. Raven was placed in a chair as a Med Droid began putting on a new arm. As raven was screaming. Soryn was laughing. He liked to see Raven in pain. At last the pain was to much and Raven passed out.

As Jen was walking with the other she felt it. She fell to her knees. "No. Raven.... Master Raven is dead.He was their in the force and now he is gone." About that time Corrin Joined the group. "We got a big problem."

[Catri]

Catri knelt beside Jen when she sunk to the ground and wrapped an arm her shoulders. Then she heard Corrin's voice behind her.

"We got a big problem."

"A dead Jedi-sized problem, Corrin? 'Cause according to Jen Raven can't be felt in the Force anymore." Catri said.

"Frack, I didn't think they'd kill him this quickly." Corrin said. "Soryn knew we were coming...I don't know how...but he knew. I tripped an alarm when we walked into the compound's courtyard. Raven threw me over the wall and told me to come find you."

[Auric]

Levant was carrying some thermal charges he had picked up from a shady Chagrian across the way. He saw Jen drop to her knees and could feel her distress. Quickly he ran back to the group to hear what was going on. She was em-pathing sorrow, Levant could feel like and he was sure Cyrian could to. Corrin explained the situation of what happened.

It was strange to see a Jedi, even a padawan, fall apart like that. Levant knew he was supposed to be here watching for signs like this. But right now he couldn't bring himself to be the stern voice of the council. He knew what it was like to be a padawan, to be lost without guidance. Kneeling down in front of Jen he tried to bring her back. "Padawan control your emotions. This is why the council sent me here, they worry your bond could distract you at a key moment. Prove them wrong. Prove you can maintain yourself." His voice was stern but engaged. She needed to pull out of this if they were going to find answers. Slowly Jen looked up at Levant and nodded. "Good. Now we need to know if Raven is truly dead. Just because you lost his voice in the force doesn't mean his presence is gone." Levant stood and looked around at the mobs of sentients that were all over this moon. "Nar'shadaa is too populated for me or Cyrian to get a clear view. You know Raven, you are close to him. Use your bond and search for him. Over here." Levant said motioning the group to go into a near by alley way.

Everyone stepped out of the street and into the alley. At least they would be less exposed. Jen knelt down and dropped into a meditative stance. Any Jedi could see she was struggling a little, but for a padawan she was doing fine. The echo of life on a city planet was hard for any force sensitive to deal with. While she was searching for Raven in the force the others were looking at the gear they had gathered so far. Suddenly she woke with a gasp. "I felt him! He's in pain, but I know it's him." She was very excited. Mostly because she managed to find her master, but in part because she grew a little as a Jedi.

Levant looked out of the alley through the crowd of people. "Well then, we need a plan. If Soryn set a trap for us, I say we return the favor. This all seems to go higher then just smuggling, which means as far as the people behind this are concerned we're all better off dead." Pulling out a permacrete detonator Levant looked down at it and sighed. He knew this was going to take a lot of quick acting on everyones part.

"What do you have in mind?" Jen asked anxious to get to rescuing her master.

"Well it may be suicidal on my part but with this many explosives, I think I can distract them. Not sure for how long but hopefully long enough for you to get inside and get Raven out. I'll place the permacrete detonator on the wall, after the bang that thing will make they'll pour out of there like I kicked a mynock's nest. Once they're after me, you should be able to slip inside and handle what ever or who ever is still left in there." Levant turned back to the group and shrugged a little. "I may need a favor though. While you're in there I would appreciate someone taking the time to download Soryn's files onto this" He said tossing Catri an empty datapad. "I need that data for the council, If something happens I'll need you to make sure it gets to the council Cyrian. I know you're not a huge fan but there are still members of the council who can be trusted." Levant said grabbing the back sack full of explosives and grenades. "If anyone would like to volunteer to help me lead Soryn's guards around I would welcome it, but I do not expect it. Either way, the Jedi look after their own and we're not leaving until we go in there and get Raven back."

Levant knew the risks. He knew he probably wouldn't be able to keep the chase going long. But he knew they had few options. Raven may not have much time left.

[Catri]

"I think I can give you a hand with that, Jedi."

Catri and Corrin turned to look at the newcomer. A blue male Duros had slipped into the entrance of the alley while the group was talking. He had a blaster at each side and a bag of medical supplies slung over his shoulder.

"Monty! I thought you left the planet with Dad and the boys." Catri said as she stood up to hug the Duros.

"Good to see you're still keeping up with a regular breathing schedule, Kitten." Monty said "I promised your brother Andros I would wait here to warn you in case Corrin couldn't find you in time. Bowdaar called me as soon as you left the ship and gave me access to the readouts of the tracking devices he planted on you and Corrin. Don't look so shocked, Corrin. He would never have let either of you come here without knowing he could do something to protect you. "

Catri pulled away from Monty and turned to introduce him to the rest of the group.

"This is Levant, Cyrian, and Jen. They came to help us take Soryn down." Catri pointed to each Jedi as she said their names. "Everyone, this is Monty. He runs a clinic near my dad's shop. He gave me my first job and taught me everything I know about patching people up."

"Okay, Cat, enough with the introductions." Corrin said " We need to move fast. My uncle is up to no good."

"What else is new?" Monty snorted

"I mean something worse than usual." Corrin replied

[Cyrian]

Cy also felt Raven drop out of the Force, but as Levant said, he had no chance of finding anything with all these people around so he moved out a few feet and began to wander is circles around their remaining party.  Ashla flowed around him as he tried to see the teeth of the trap springing but he could not find anything at all, not a single threat.

Once Levant began to speak to Jen, Cy snapped his head back and watched the Jedi challenge her to regain control, smiling slightly at the wisdom of his words,perhaps there was hope yet. When Levant was done vocalizing his plan, Cy tilted his head in acknowledgement and spoke quietly. "The files will get to the Council, for that is the will of Ashla, trust in men is not needed." 

He slid his hands into the sleeves of his robes and gave a sharp nod to Monty as he was introduced, he then tilted his head back is if he were smelling something.. something other then a back alley on Nar Shaddaa that is. 

[Auric]

The group was getting ready to move when Levant noticed Cyrian was standing still. Growing up with Jedi, it was a look he knew well. He caught a disturbance in the force, they were being hunted. It wasn't long until Levant could feel it to. A pair of bounty hunters armed to the teeth. Looking around the alley Levant realised they were in a very vunrable position. If they returned to the street the civilians would be in danger, if they stayed in the alley they were in a bottle neck. Luckily he wasn't the only one who was thinking about how to proceede as the group started to move deeper into the alley ways.

It wasn't long until the bounty hunters were in hot pursuit. At least the group had the advantage of the alley's being a maze on Nar shaddaa. They were all well trained, in different ways but enough that even if they got seperated they could manage on their own for a while. Blaster bolts scattering through the alley were deflected by Cyrian as the others ran ahead before returning fire to cover. They needed to turn the tables before the bounty hunters landed a hit.

"Give us the padawan, and maybe we'll let the rest of you live." The male bounty hunter shouted down the alley.

As they ran Levant saw it. A small nook in the alley on his right. While Catri and Corrin returned a few shots with thier blasters, Levant jumped into it. Cyrian nodded and ran forward with the group. If they could get someone behind them the momentum would shift. They had a better chance boxing them in and neutralizing the threat.

Levant lay crouching in wait waiting for the perfect time. The bounty hunters didn't see Levant until it was too late. With a push of the force they both hit the wall. Stunned for a moment they looked up to see the group charging at them weapons drawn, Levant walking out to block their retreat. The fight was on. The bounty hunters were well equipped, but they had lost the bottleneck and were out numbered.

OOC- Someone else can finish this fight if they'd like. Just know Levant isn't that good with a lightsaber, other than that 6vs2 the odds are in our favour :p

[Catri]

Monty hit one of the bounty hunters with a volley of stun blasts from his blasters. Catri grazed the other bounty hunter's arm. She didn't knock him out, but she distracted him long enough for Corrin to hit him on the back of the head with his blaster.

"Well that was interesting." Monty said "I see you've had time to make friends, Catri. Want to tell me what that was all about?"

"I'm not entirely certain. They seemed to want Jen. We should find somewhere to keep them until we get Raven out of Soryn's compound. Then we can ask them to join us for a game of truth or dare." Catri said

"We could stow them in the clinic if all of you can help me get them there. I brought Fluffy over from your Dad's shop. He can keep an eye one them while we're gone." Monty said.

"You want to leave them with Fluffy?" Corrin said "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"It's a great idea, Corrin. I'll make sure his orders about death and dismemberment are specific enough. He listens to me." Catri said

[Cyrian]

Cyrian's twin lightsabers whipped around in mad arcs as he deflected the incoming blaster bolts, he dropped himself fully into the Force, easily predicting the speed and angle of every shot fired their way. He was far too busy playing defense to worry about stopping the shooting, so he was quite glad when Catri and Corrin finished off the fight in prompt fashion. He gave a quick salute to Levant for the good planning and those lightsabers were powered down and tucked safely into his robes.  "Well played..."   He turned back to Catri and Corrin "Is this.. Fluffy to be trusted? These men must live to be interrogated.. "

[Catri]

"Fluffy's a might eccentric...."

"Fluffy's out of his karking mind, that's what he is" Corrin said cutting Catri off. He winced when Catri lightly smacked the back of his head.

"As I was saying, Fluffy's a might eccentric, but I trust him with my life. He's a gun droid my dad picked up from a trader when I was a kid. Dad and Andros fixed him up, and he's been part of the family ever since. Now, he can be a bit impulsive sometimes, but he's nothing if not loyal. He'll keep these two alive if I tell him to." Catri said.

[Auric]

With the Bounty hunters incapacitated, Levant deactivated his lightsaber and latched it back onto his belt. Looking down he saw a questionable stain on his cloak he must've picked up when he crouched in the alley. He scrubbed it with his knuckles a little and scoffed. "My first assignment isn't quite as glamorous as I'd hoped." He walked over to the Bounty hunter closest to him. "While I am less than comforted about brining these two to 'Fluffy' we don't seem to have any other choice at the moment. Plus I'll do anything to get out of this alley, the stench is unbearable. Jen grab his legs." Levant said lifting the man from his shoulders.

With Levant and Jen carrying one, and Cyrian and Corrin carrying the other, Catri and Monty lead the way through the alley as long as possible. Eventually they were out of alley and had to cross out into the street. Levant was nervous. "Is there no other way? Someone's bound to notice us dragging two bodies across the street."

Monty let out a short chuckle. "On Nar Shaddaa people won't even give it a second thought. We're close to the clinic anyways." Monty was right. No one seemed to care about what they were seeing. A group of aliens standing and laughing stopped for maybe half a second before returning to their conversation, the rest just walked right past. They were just trying to survive here, but Levant couldn't help but feel it was somewhat cold for anyone to just ignore possible injustice.

Crossing the street the group arrived at the clinic, with Monty opening the doors he then directed them to some steel tables with restraint cuffs. As the others took off the bounty hunters armor and weapons and strapped them down, they noticed the metal clank of foot steps approaching from a back room. Levant looked up at Catri. "I take it that's Fluffy? You should know that I'd prefer we didn't torture these two. Intimidation is one thing, but torture, I won't take part in anything like that."

[RavenMiles]

Jen could no longer hear the conversation. All she could focus on was the rush of pain and emotion. It was her Master. She could feel him in the Force. It was not gentail. It was like a explosion. One second he was not their and the next he was.

Raven woke in the med bay. It took him a moment to realize he could feel the Force. He also realized that he was letting Jen feel his pain. He calmed him self. He had to worn them. He focus and let her hear one word. "Ysalamiri"  "Ok Time to get out of here." Then Raven turned to the door. He filled himself with the Force. The with a huge force push the doors crashed out into the hall. Alarms went offand red lights flashed. Raven ran out into the hall to see two guards with Blasters at the ready. Raven forced pulled one to him. The other down the hall. Then he took aim and fired two times. The guards dropped to the ground with holes in their heads. Raven was half way down the hall. When the Force left him again. Then his body was filled with blue light. He fell to the ground in pain. he was wearing a shock colare. Soryn came walking down the hall. "That was a bit dark for a Jedi." said as he was laughing. " Eat Bantha podo" Raven replied.
Jen looked back at the group. She could no longer fell her master. But now she knew why. She looked at Catri. " Soryn is getting Jedi help. He has Ysalamiri. That is why i can fell Master Miles some times. He has taken the force away from him. This is bad. I fell that Master Houseman is helping Soryn."

[Catri]

" Who are the Ysalmari? Is that a new street gang?" Catri asked The clanking noise had been getting louder. Just then a door in the back of the room burst open to reveal an assassin droid. His sleek humanoid form had a shiny green hue, and the eyepieces on his somewhat triangular faceplate glowed silver. He was pointing a rather large blaster rifle at the group.

"Warning: Intruders will leave immediately or face consequences including but not limited to disintegration and slow dismemberment." the droids metallic voice boomed "Warning: This is your final chance to surrender...." Catri darted out from the middle of the group so that Fluffy could see her clearly.

"Easy, Fluffy, it's us, see?" Catri said pointing out Corrin and Monty " The others are some friends."

"Query: Mistress Catri, do the life forms on the tables require medical attention? Shall I call Zippy to assist with the medical treatment?"

"No, Fluff, they're not hurt. They attacked us in an alley..."

"Gorramit, Cat!" Corrin exclaimed

Before Catri could finish her sentence Fluffy had bolted to the tables and raised his blaster.

" Exclamation: You lifeforms have attacked my family! I will blast you into a charred heap of carbon!"

Catri jumped in front of Fluffy and grabbed his arms.

"We need them alive, Fluffy. No death, no disintegration, no dismemberment. Just make sure they don't escape." Catri said

"Query: Are you certain, Mistress? These lifeforms may be dangerous. Are you hurt? Are Master Corrin and Master Monty hurt? Zippy! We require your assistance!" The sound of a medical droid approaching from one of the back rooms could be heard.

"Everything's fine here, Zippy, go back to sleep." Monty called out. The droid turned around and returned to her previous location. "Take it easy, Fluffy, before you blow a circuit board. In all the years you've know me do you think I'd let Cat and Corrin walk in here injured without treating them first thing?"

"Statement: No, You would not. Forgive me. Now, if you will all follow me, you will be safer in the back room." Fluffy began to walk toward the door.

"We're not staying, Fluffy. We just came to drop these two off before we go to Soryn's compound." Catri said

"Astonished query: Mistress, why are you going to Soryn Vel's compound? It is quite dangerous. He wishes to kill you and the rest of our family."

"Soryn captured a friend of ours. We need to get him out of there."

"Demand: You will remain here, Mistress. It is too dangerous."

"I'm not a youngling anymore, Fluffy" Catri said.

"Statement: I promised Master Jorel I would protect his younglings, and you have not grown beyond my ability to apply non-lethal corporal punishment, Young Mistress."

"Like your really going to give her a spanking, bolt brain, I'd love to see that" Corrin laughed.

"I don't want to run from him forever, Fluffy. We need to end this now." Catri said.

"Affectionate request: Be careful....both of you." Fluffy said glancing between Catri and Corrin.

"Don't worry Fluff, we'll be fine." Corrin said.

[RavenMiles]

Jen walked up to Catri and haded her her lightsaber. "here hold this." then she started to strap blasters and knifes to her body. "Ysalmari, Make a void in the Force. If you have many of this lizard like things. You can make it where a Jedi can not use the Force. Raven has been cut off from the force and has had to deal with that and who know what . I am going to go and get him. They want me. Ok, they will get me. But they will not like it. I know Cy is coming with me. The Force put him here for that reason. Cat, it is the will of the Force for you to come as well. As for you." She turned on Levant. " I am no ordinary Padawan. In case you have not noticed i am a lot older then you. Too old to still be a Padawn. So, here is the short story. Raven found me and saved me. I have been trained as a Jedi. But not by a Knight that was in the order. So, the Council placed me as Raven's Padawan. So, Stop treating me like a school girl. I know more about the Force then you. You can put that in your report to the Council. If they would spend more time trying to help the people in the republic, and less riding Raven's and my ass. Maybe the people would be better off. Me and Raven's Force bond is strong. That scars the Council. But are bond makes us stronger when we are together. Cat, call Bowdaar. Tell him to start a bombing run on Syron's complex." The she walked for the door.

[Auric]

Levant was a little taken back by Jen's outburst. But he'd also seen enough to know that he couldn't abide her outburst. Reaching through he forced the door to shut before Jen could cross it.

"You wish to stop being treated like a school girl then stop acting like one. Perhaps you do know the force but you have no idea what it is to be Jedi and your actions are reflecting that. Anger, impatience, fear. You wonder why the council hounds you? Because they can't afford to have Jedi running around the galaxy causing more harm than good. Your force bond with your master is as much a weakness as a strength. You want to charge off and start a smuggler war on a planet that we have no control over. Instead of doing anything covertly you'd risk open conflict." He said stepping to the strapped down bounty hunters.

"You're correct, you are no ordinary padawan, you are a flawed padawan. You're already on the path to the darkside." With another wave of his hand the door re-opened. "I will not stop you. Bowdaar can start blasting the complex and bring the whole thing down around Raven's ears. You're risking war with the Hutts. I will have no part of an open bombing run where civilians could be hurt." Levant said crossing his arms.

Jen with an impressive scowl kept walking out of the building. Levant called out to her. "You should know you've crossed a terrible line this day. The council will not forget your zeal." With Jen storming off Levant turned to the others. "You should all probably get going, it seems you have a battle to fight. I'll secure my own way back to Tython with the prisoners. It seems my mission here is complete. The council will have questions about your involvement in what ever happens at Soryn's compound Cyrian. You should prepare yourself for the storm that's going to hit when the Hutt's declare war on the republic because a padawan started an orbital bombardment on Nal Hutta's moon."

[Cyrian]

Cyrian stood by impassively as Jen and Levant had their little spat, but as soon as Levant decided to turn himself on Cy, he turned with a scowl.

"Do not presume to bark at me little one, you have no idea what Ashla has allowed me to see, in you and the world.  You presume to know her motives, what she seeks out of all of us, and that is YOUR flaw.  Perhaps your mission here is complete, perhaps life does not matter to you ... perhaps teaching does not matter to you,  but you have the chance to make a difference."

Those words were spoken with a measure of contempt and disgust, he had thought Levant would see this through and was rather unhappy with his decision.  He gave a sniff and followed Jen out the door, determined to protect her while she found the voice of Ashla, it was his belief that all force users had THAT right.
