Round 2
Day
The Search of this mile long capital class monstrosity was slow business for a reduced 40 member crew.
But great leadership by the visitor from Coruscant got the crew to work methodically and efficient. They discovered that this capital ship had a full armament of Star Destroyer regular weaponry, fighters, bombers, shuttles, transports and other smaller crafts. The Star Destroyer also had the full complement armament with AT-AT walkers, AT-ST walkers and other prefabricated land units and equipment.
It was also stacked with foodstuff that grew in artificial greenhouses, but centuries of neglect had made them wildernesses where the food plants had been overcome by weed. There was however some edible stuff in those gardens.
The expedition leader was however most concerned by getting the massive power plant back online. In the centuries this ship had drifted through space with only a fraction of the power it needed, The main reactor – the I-a2b Solar Ionization reactor or commonly called a “mini sun” had not received sufficient fuel and had nearly died. It was a sick puppy.
When the expedition leader had discovered this, he had ordered the fuel feeders to be slowly re-opened to hinder a great surge of power from the mini sun that would fry the power lines and possibly the reactor itself. The mini sun was now sucking hypermatter from the fuel tanks and grew in strength every day.
They would have to make a hyperspace jump as soon as the power plant was healthy enough. The long years in cold space had made the hypermatter a bad quality grade fuel. In hyperspace the ship will replenish its fuel with top quality grade hypermatter.
After a long day’s work the Jedi members were exhausted and needed rest. The expedition leader was worried about tonight as he was confident that they had been infiltrated by someone. He had a bad feeling about the incidents last night. What this infiltration was all about was not clear to him, but he suspected the culprits to be a part of the team that had arrived with him. There were no lifeforms on this ship before they boarded and the lifeform count was still 38 the last time he checked.
He sat down on the floor of his cabin and found the peace of meditation. He reached out and found the presence which had accompanied him for so many years, but only since last night had been willing to be touched. There was a familiar sense in his very being as if he had waited so long for this presence to be joined with him. But what had triggered this change? Had it to do with something on this ship or this location in space?
Somewhere else 2 other members of the Jedi expedition force were also 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.
The Padawan known as
Daye Azur-Jamin was tired and moved towards his cabin. As he rounded a corner in one of the long, dark and empty hallways of the crew quarters, he saw someone waiting, standing in the middle of the hallway. The features of this person were hidden in a long and hooded cloak and the darkness helped conceal the gender.
Daye asked: “Um.. can I help you with something? Are you lost in this labyrinth of hallways? “
The person had apparently stood there with a bent head, because suddenly, two amber glowing eyes looked up and directly at him.
“Yes.. there is one thing you can help me with.”
Daye felt a surge of panic when he saw the glowing eyes, but answered anyway. *gulp* “W..hat c..can I do for you?” The cloaked person with the glowing eyes reached out with his arm and said: “Die!!!!”
Daye felt the air being forced out of his lungs and he could no longer draw breath. He couldn’t cry out and felt darkness enveloping him.
Elswere the Padawan known as
Galleros Nul were making way to his cabin and was suddenly attacked by a person in a hooded cloak. The cloaked person had hidden in a hallway wall depression and Galleros had just walked by without noticing. Galleros were surprised seeing a red glowing plasma beam sticking out of his chest. It took only a moment and then darkness enveloped him. The last thing he heard was a snickering sound from the cloaked person behind him.
It was time for the rest to end and continue their work on this Star Destroyer.
People emerged from their cabins and gathered at the auditorium as was instructed by the expedition leader. After last night everyone was required to attend a brief meeting here in the auditorium at the start of the day’s work.
There were only 36 of them this morning. The expedition leader sent out a few Jedi Knights to fetch these sleepy heads. They soon returned with worried looks on their faces. The two Padawans had been found dead close to their cabins, One with a lightsabre wound in his back and the other with no apparent injuries.
The expedition leader sniffed. “We have been infiltrated by one or more traitors. We need to repeat the meeting we had yesterday. Find me this traitor and deliver him to me - I will be back soon to collect him or her."
As he left the auditorium, he felt panic. The sudden connection with what could only be what had been known as the force in the ancient Jedi religion and 4 murders among the expedition crew, was unsettling. Could it be…? No… that was just ancient superstitious drivel.
He had just rounded the first corner in the direction of his cabin, when he remembered something that had struck him when learning about the deaths of the two Padawans. He immediatly returned to the auditorium, as he entered he announced: "Oh and for your information, it has been decided that the initiates
Galen Marek and
Barrison Dray will be promoted to Padawans with immediate effect. Congratulations!!"
With those words he turned around and left the auditorium.
