Stre-don Rett was on his way back to his quarters, when he felt as though he were being followed. Ducking into one of the unoccupied rooms, he attempted to shield his presence from the minds of others. He could sense a figure moving down the hallway, searching for something.

The figure lifted a hand and reached out with the force, attempting to do.... something. But Stre-don Rett's trick mis-directed him.

The figure lifted his other hand and reached deeper into the Force, trying to do something else, but the trick worked again, and nothing happened.

The figure searched several rooms, but finally gave up and left. Stre-don chuckled at this, and exited the room he was in.

Elsewhere on the ship, in the morgue near the medical bay, a cloaked figure began searching for something... or someone.

Unknown: "Hmmm.... remarkably well-preserved. You'll do, for now."

The figure laid hands on the body of the fallen Jax Revus, and reached deep.... deep into the Netherworld of the Force. A tremor was felt by everyone on the ship, indicating a massive disturbance.

The mortal wounds on the corpse were healed immediately, and the body was brought back up to normal temperature.

Then, the cloaked being grabbed the body by the throat, and by the chest, and began concentrating. Energy poured from the being, and soon, Jax Revus' heart began to beat, and electrical activity was restored to the nervous system. The trauma of death was reversed in the brain as well, and Revus began choking and coughing, and tried to sit up, but could not move, as the powerful being gripped him by the throat, and looked into his eyes.

The figure said nothing to Jax Revus, and Jax couldn't quite see who was staring down at him, due to temporary blindness. But he could sense a powerful Force presence. The figure walked out of the morgue and disappeared into the night.

Jax Revus, disoriented, stumbled out of the morgue and tried to make his way down the hall by feeling with his hands. He was cold, and needed clothing... and food. He was incredibly hungry... and he felt weak. But, he was alive.

Ker'ral Fisid was in his quarters, when the door slid open without warning. Standing before him was a cloaked figure, with a neutral expression on their face.

Ker'ral was not expecting any visitors, and was unprepared for a fight. However, he still had one trick up his sleeve.... with a quick motion of his hands, the overhead lighting blew out and his quarters became pitch dark. He quickly ducked behind some of his furniture and masked his force presence.

The cloaked figure, undeterred, stepped into the darkness.

Unknown: "I do not need to see you.... I can still kill you, Ker'ral."

Ker'ral hoped this wasn't so, but remained still and continued to mask his presence.

The cloaked figure summoned powerful energy from the Force, and channeled it through his being. The figure turned and faced Ker'ral's last known location and began screaming.... in a way that would shatter bulkheads. The decibel level was well beyond deafening, it was life-threatening. The impact of the scream caused the furniture in the room to shatter and blow against the wall, taking Ker'ral with it. His body was broken by the sound vibration, and he died before he knew what hit him. There was never any chance of survival.

The cloaked figure examined the body to make sure he was dead, and then left his quarters before anyone could see.

And yet, someone did see a figure leaving, and heard the powerful scream. This person examined the body of Ker'ral, but left the scene in a hurry.

Mace Wyyrlar returned to his quarters, when he was approached by a cloaked figure wielding a purple lightsaber.






"What are you doing here?" asked Wyyrlar, but the cloaked figure didn't respond. The attacker advanced in a standard Djem So stance, preparing to turn Wyyrlar's moves against him. But Wyyrlar did not ignite his lightsaber, if he had one. Instead, Wyyrlar reached deep into the Force, and lifted his hands toward his attacker.

In an instant, the cloaked figure was swept up in a wave of the Force, and went flying down the hallway, landing with a thud against the opposite wall a thousand meters away. He did not get back to his feet for some time.

Mace Wyyrlar simply continued to his quarters.

"Confer on you, the Rank of Jedi Knight, this council does." Nomi Sunrider said, to the figure kneeling before her. "You may be seated."


The next figure approached, and knelt before Nomi Sunrider. "Confer on you, the Rank of...."


Nomi paused.


"We're all in danger. Everyone, leave this room immediately."


Sure enough, the doors of the shuttle bay opened, and a cloaked figure stood facing the newly-promoted Jedi Knights.





Unknown figure: "All that work, for nothing...."


The figure began cackling, and tossed a thermal detonator into the middle of the crowd of Jedi, but Nomi was there to draw it into her hands with the Force. The Jedi Knights had no time to escape, as the doors to the shuttle bay were sealed just as quickly as they had been opened. The thermal detonator had a timer, and there was only three seconds remaining.

Nomi reached deep into the Force for the answer.... she felt the device with the Force, and immediately understood everything about it. She felt the experiences of the Jedi Masters of old flowing through her, and knew precisely how to disarm the device.

One second remained, and Nomi reached out with her mind and disabled the detonator, while keeping the security device from tripping and causing the explosion anyway. She continued the circuit with her mind, and the device was stable for as long as she held it. Then she grasped the explosive casing, and concentrated. In a few seconds, she tore the explosive casing off and removed the volatile materials, and handed them to one of her students. She relaxed her mind, and the circuit became incomplete, and the security device triggered, and tried to detonate the explosive. But nothing happened.

She looked at her students.

"Go. That was not the attack I saw in my vision. You are all still in very grave danger. Disperse, young Jedi."

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order










Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.


"We were very fortunate last night. Several of our Jedi Knights, and myself, were nearly killed in an attempt on my life. But as I told them, that was not the attack I have foreseen. That is yet to come. I tried to sleep, but the vision came again. My fate truly is unavoidable, as we have failed to stop the Sith in time. They will attack me tonight."

Nomi paused, as the Jedi began to try to think of ways to prevent it from happening.

"Don't. If I do not intervene in the next attack, many of you will die. That is why it cannot be stopped." Nomi stated.

One of the Jedi spoke up anyway.

"What if we all scatter? Won't that stop it?"

Nomi shook her head. "I have duties to perform which are too important and cannot be delayed any longer. Lives depend on it. Regardless of the circumstances, I must go ahead with the ceremony."

"Don't we know for sure that those attending the Knighting ceremony weren't Sith, now?" said another.

Nomi shook her head again. "It could have been an assassin droid made to look like a Sith. Or there could be other explanations; the Dark Side has a way of tricking you into thinking a certain way, do not be fooled. No one here has been made more or less of a suspect than before by that attack. It is best to put it out of your mind entirely, lest the dark side corrupt you."


Then she turned toward the now-clothed Jax Revus.


"Back from the dead, I see. What are your intentions?" asked Nomi Sunrider.

The other Jedi turned and noticed Jax, and were horrified. Wasn't he the Sith Apprentice who died on the first night of their journey?

Jax Revus just grinned. Several of the Jedi ignited their lightsabers, but Jax just stood there, motionless, still grinning, as if he was unafraid.

Jax Revus: "Don't you at least have to vote on something like that?"

Nomi stared at Jax, uncertain of what to do. She also knew she couldn't advise the Jedi one way or the other on this matter. Something in the Force told her to stay her tongue. This was the Council's decision, not hers.


Still, she did not return to her quarters as she usually did. She stood, watching Jax Revus, hand on her lightsaber, prepared for what might happen next.


"It's time to discuss and vote on our next action, my friends. Do as you will." Nomi said, betraying none of her emotions, but keeping her focus directly on Revus.
