Round 4
Day
Mace Windu the Jedi Master returned to his cabin after a meeting with the expedition leader. The tale the member of the Jedi council told was disturbing to say the least, but Mace knew the truth of it. The Force had been introduced to him as well and the feeling of its embrace had been nearly overwhelming. It was the Sith part which had disturbed him the most. If it was true that the force could not work without both sides, then the revelation of the force could only mean that the Sith had likewise had the force revealed to them.
He … Mace stopped and listened. He could clearly sense someone close, a disturbance, for the lack of a better word. He eased around a corner and saw someone standing there blocking the hallway. It was a personage shrouded in a dark cloak. In the dim to none lighting, it was as if this person’s eyes were glowing with an amber color.
The personage croaked: “Greetings Jedi Master Windu, I hoped it was you… I’ve got something to show you.” And by those words – the cloaked figure raised a hand. Mace Windu felt a overwhelming sensation of being dragged towards the cloaked figure and he sensed that his strength left him rapidly. He reacted without thought and drew what he could muster of the force, and it was hard as if it was leaking out of his very soul.
He released the little he could draw and the cloaked figure was thrown back and slammed as a sack against the far wall. It took only seconds for Mace Windu to recover from the nausea that followed the release of his… soul… for the lack of a better description. Mace looked up at the bundle of cloth that was the cloaked figure and ignited his purple lightsaber. He moved carefully towards the figure and was closing in when the figure with lightening speed jumped up. The cloak had shifted and the face was revealed. Mace looked perplexed: “What, you? How could this be…” That was all he managed before blue lightening streamed out of the fingers of this … Jedi expedition member. Amber eyes of hatred watched behind an electro storm of energy drawn from the very air surrounding them. Mace couldn’t counter the pure electric energy which coursed through his body – destroying organs and cells. He soon lost consciousness and fell to the floor. The killer sent a few extra bursts of electric energy for good measure before he left the crime scene. This didn’t go exactly how he’d planned. But a dead Jedi was a dead Jedi, and by those thoughts a smile returned to his face.
Aayla Secura the initiate had just finished eating her evening supper and was returning to her quarters. She had unsuccessfully flirted with the other young Jedi initates – giving them a good stare of her rather well formed attributes.
They were probably too scared of her to seem interested. She had that predatory way over her that just frightened men. What were they afraid of? That she would use them for her own pleasure? Well… they were probably right. She chuckled to herself as she continued down the dark hallway. Up ahead, someone was blocking the hallway and that someone was cloaked. She was always happy when people stared at her, but this … creature, had her skin crawling. The eyes were glowing amber and pierced her very being. The creature moved his arm and a glowing crimson plasma blade sprang to life in his hand.
Aayla Secura screamed and ran away from the creature in the direction she had come from. The creature cursed and started running after her. She was an agile runner and would probably outdistance him soon. She had to reach help… she had barely voiced those thoughts inside her head before she felt a rush behind her. Something hit her from behind and she was knocked unconscious in mid air before her lifeless body was crushed to pulp against the far wall. The cloaked creature walked the good distance up to her remains and chuckled: “Not so much to look at now, are you?” A rusty laugh could be heard in this part of the living quarters as the cloaked figure retreated back down the hall in the opposite direction.
Count Dooku returned from a previous engagement and was met by a familiar person outside his quarters. “Dooku, we need to talk, let’s enter the privacy of your quarters.” Count Dooku opened the door to his cabin and gestured for the person to enter”.
The person went in and walked over to the living room of this formerly officer’s cabin. He stood there in the middle of the room waiting. Dooku entered: “What was it you wanted to talk to me about?” The person turned around with an accusing stare. “I am sorry, but I have to do this.” And by those words Dooku felt a terrible pain in his mind. He fell to the floor in agony and everything went dark.
Dooku later woke up in his bed with a dried up nose bleed. What had happened to him? And why couldn’t he remember how he got to his cabin?
Somewhere else 2 other members of the Jedi expedition force were meditating.
They had started their usual routine, but were suddenly overcome with peace and elevation as a presence surged into their very being. They heard a call from somewhere and followed the directions they received. The directions led to a special storage area.
When the crew again met at the auditorium the next morning, there were only 30 present. The expedition leader sighed: “We have apparently not been successful in finding the Sith. It was worrying that they were missing one of the Jedi Masters.
He sent out a couple of Knights to check their cabins and when they returned, they just shook their heads. The expedition leader bowed his head a moment before continuing: “Very well, let’s proceed with the interrogations people, We lost a dear member of our team, Master Windu last night. We are short of a Jedi Master. There is one Knight which stands out and should have received the honor already. Kenth Hamner, you have been awarded the rank of Jedi Master.
The former knight bowed slightly and the expedition returned the favour before leaving the auditorium. As he went through the door, let’s hurry up with this people, we are all ready behind schedule, but I’ll give you 24 hours anyway.
------------------------------------------------
Vote away people. I have to rectify the unplanned extended time somehow. I hope we can do a shorter night in the next round. If we all make an effort to send in orders early I think we can have a 12 hour night in round 5.
Voting ends around this time tomorrow 20th of April.
