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.

Announcement:
I am going to accept votes that do not have a preceding unvote. Winston voted WE:D first but then voted ATPG later without unvoting.
It will be too time consuming should I have to search all posts in between to see if he perhaps did a unvote without placing a new vote.

Round 3

Night

The door to the auditorium opened and the expedition leader entered. He looked briefly up on the time counter and noticed the 00:01 minute overtime. Perfect again, he thought. They have probably been sitting there since the timer went out and stared at the door with anticipation. Let them sweat a little.
He went over to the center floor and looked up at the gathered Jedi members. “Well?” he continued. “Do you have a candidate for me?” The gathered Jedi looked a little nervous at each other but finally one spoke up: “Yes we have, master. We have chosen Hoth.”
Everybody turned and looked at Hoth who looked a bit confused. “Wha… I thought we were going to go for Count Dooku again?”
The expedition leader replied: “Give me the tally young one.” The one who had first spoken, stepped up to the expedition leader and handed him the tally. He took a long look at it and continued: “No… they are correct, you are the one chosen.” The one called Hoth a big and powerful man with an equally big temper, blew a few fuses and got to his feet puffing smoke out of his nostrils. “I am not going to sit here and let you do this.” Hoth got to his feet and went for the expedition leader. Just as he was about to pick up the small man, he was elevated off the floor and slammed into the nearest wall which knocked the wind out of him. The expedition leader turned and saw one of the Jedi Masters standing behind him with a raised hand. “Thank you Master”, the expedition leader said. “Your welcome, Master”, answered the Jedi Master and slightly bowed his head in reverence.

Well, let’s get on with it. Three Jedi Knights took care of the winded Hoth and dragged him out the door with the entire Jedi group following.
The ceremony was short and to the point. Hoth were thrown towards the space barrier which he floated through. It took only a short moment for Hoth to die in vacuum space. His body was later recovered and put in a casket and stored in the morgue.

“Shall we see if this ship is ready to be powered up?” The Jedi group of 35 was a little startled about the execution, but complied and went to do their assigned tasks.

Round 3

Day

The search of the Star Destroyer had been down-prioritized. They had to get the power plant up and running. If they could get this monstrosity moving, They could continue the search while in flight. The expedition leader stood behind a couple of Jedi Knights who worked at the power plant operator’s board. The mini sun grew in strength as it fed on the stored hypermatter.
The expedition leader leaned forward and said: “Let’s power up some of the top decks and see how the mini sun reacts to being used as a power source.” The Jedi knights at the operator’s board pressed a few of the buttons and pulled one of the levers slowly upwards. “Careful, Knight… these are old circuits you are giving life.” The rector hummed as it responded by drawing more fuel from the fuel tanks. A few of the power generators started to whine as turbines turned and gained speed. The turbine sound intensified and the generators were soon nearing full output. It looked as if they were Ok…. Then suddenly one of them started to make an awful racket. The expedition leader cried: “Stop them, before they destroy something.” The Jedi Knight pressed the emergency stop buttons on all of the generators and the generators stopped.
“We’ll have to do some heavy maintenance on the power system before we can power the generators up again, and we need power to be able to steer this monster through space.”
The expedition leader walked back and forward behind the knights. “I don’t like this at all. We need to power up the bridge and we need better fuel to get this back to Coruscant. And we have someone killing off the crew while we sit here dead in space. I will look the fool at the Jedi Council if I can’t handle this without getting reinforcements.”

Before the expedition leader left the power plant operator room, he announced: “Get to it Knights, all of those generators need overhaul – and you need to check the power grid all the way up to the bridge. I want this ship on the move as soon as possible.”

The expedition party worked their backs off to get the generators up and running, but they were so ancient and full of structural damage that it would take many days to replace the bad parts with not too bad parts from the storage areas.

The entire day went and the Jedi was exhausted and returned to their cabins for some R&R.

The Padawan known as Barriss Offee had trouble finding the peace to rest this night. Thoughts of the recent murders troubled her greatly, and meditation only helped so far. To clear her head she decided to leave her cabin and take a walk through the corridors surrounding the living quarters. The thought of potentially seeing or even intervening with another murder was only semi-consciously formed in the back of her head, but her stride carried the confidence of one who knows her strength. She turned a corner into a dimly lit corridor and saw a cloaked figure quickly disappearing through a doorway up ahead. Barriss Offee was first startled and her heart beat fast, but she overcame the initial fright and walked carefully up to the door and, wary of a trap, slowly peered into the small storage area beyond. The person wrapped in the long dark cloak stood in the center of the room, just a few short paces away, waiting in silence, amber eyes glowing fiercly. Barriss Offee tried to call out for help , yet as she tried she could only manage a weak "Whhhhhh-h-h-h...". She felt her world spinning, centered around the arm stretched towards her, falling rapidly into the infinite black hole within those baleful glowing eyes. Her mind never registered when her knees hit the floor as her legs gave beneath her. By the time her forehead connected with the cold metal floor tiles she was already dead and gone, her very essence drained completely.

The Jedi Knight known as Eeth Koth did not return to his quarters right away. He was on the outlook for the intruders. He would catch them and be promoted to Master. Yes, that was the least the expedition leader could do. As a representative of the Jedi council he had the authority to appoint new Jedi Masters. Now, if he only could be so lucky to stumble over …
At the end of this hallway stood a cloaked figure with a red glowing lightsaber in hand. The hallway was fractionally damp and the plasma blade were sizzling. Eeth Koth drew his own lightsaber and an amber colored blade sprang to life with a roar.
“Let’s do this murderer!!” he called out to the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure never replied, but sprang into action with twirls and parade signatures that showed that he was indeed a Master wielder. This was the chance. If he could beat this Master, he would be promoted for sure.

Eeth Koth took his Knight stance and waited. The figure leaped at him with an overhand slash. Eeth blocked the initial swing and continued blocking the fast follow up combinations of the cloaked figure. They continued like this, back and forth, attacks and blocks. Eeth Koth felt his strength draining. He needed to end this before he would make mistakes because of fatigue. He attacked with new fury and the cloaked figure went on the defense for a while. The cloaked figure blocked everything Eeth Koth could throw at him. The cloaked figure finally cackled: “ha ha ha… you think you can best me Knight? I thank you for giving me a little exercise.” And by that he made a combination that Eeth Koth had never seen before. It resulted in the crimson blade piercing his heart. Darkness came fast and there was no strength in him as he slumped to the floor.

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.

When the crew again met at the auditorium the next morning, there were only 33 present. The expedition leader sighed: “We have apparently not been successful in finding out who these intruders are. I assume those we are missing are lost to us.” He sent out a couple of Knights to check their cabins and when they returned, they just shook their heads.

“Very well, let’s proceed with the interrogations people… oh and before I go, we lost a Padawan and a Knigh last night.
I have decided to award the rank of Padawan to Den Siva. Congratulations!!
The rank of Knight will be awarded Kyp Durron. Congratulations to you too!!”

And then he went out brooding.

Round 4

Night

The auditorium doors opened with a bang and in strode the expedition leader.
Before anyone could announce the results of today’s voting, he announced:
“I have an announcement… I have been meditating on what is haunting this ship. There is only one answer that comes to me.”
The expedition leader paused and took a deep breath. “We are dealing with the Sith.”
Some of the older and more experienced Jedi shifted uncomfortably on their chairs, the Knights coughed hiding mirth and the Padawans and Initiates had a question mark written all over their face.

One Jedi Master replied: “Excuse me, Master … but the Sith is only ancient myth. Surely there must be another explanation.”
The other Masters nodded approvingly. The expedition leader looked into the eyes of each of his audience and continued: “I can’t explain all that has happened to me, to us, in the days spent onboard, but I have rediscovered profound truths about our heritage; The Jedi religion.
Many watched with disbelief at the little man standing there at the center of the floor in front of the seated auditorium. A very few however looked thoughtful and nodded, but just enough to not be noticed.
He was spouting heresies towards the scientific ways of the Jedi. The Jedi was beyond religion.
The expedition leader continued: ”I believe the Sith are here among us, in this very room. You need to find them before they destroy all of us. If I hadn’t thought this ship was very important for the Jedi and the universe, we would already be on our way back to Coruscant on the boarding craft. I believe if we returned now – the Sith would come with us and there would be another Empire ruling our Republic in a not too distant future.
We need to stay put and root out this evil that has befallen us. And we need to find them fast. They are gaining in strength every day they get to roam free.”

“Ok… what have you got for me?”
The Jedi member with the tally stepped hesitantly forward with today’s voting tally.
The expedition leader took one look at it and continued: “It seems you have picked a clear candidate. Will someone please apprehend Dhidal Nyz?”
A couple of Knights encircled Dhidal who looked resigned. I guess it doesn’t help to say that I am innocent? The expedition leader looked at Dhidal with stern eyes: “Not really. We have to do this democratically. If you couldn’t convince these that you were innocent during the interrogation, they will not listen to you now.

The execution went as it did yesterday. Dhidal went peacefully and the recovered body was laid in a casket and put in the morgue.

We have a new prioritized task people, in addition to getting this ship powered up and ready to go, we need to root out the Sith infestation of this ship. Watch each other for signs of unfriendliness and unpleasantries. The Sith feed on hate and strife, the Jedi for compassion and peace. The distinction should be easy to notice.

It is night people. Remember that I should get more than one pro-town order this round.
The Sith's missing orders have not and will not be announced publicly.
Deadline 00:00 GMT+1 Monday 19th of April (roughly 24 hours from now).

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.

Round 5

Night

It had been a long day and when the expedition leader finally arrived, the decision had been made a long time ago. Galen Marek the newly appointed Padawan had received the most votes.
The expedition leader sighed: “Is this truly your candidate, you had no other? I have just promoted this young man to become a Padawan, and this is how you reward him. I am utterly speechless.” I have given you quite the room to move in and have lain down nearly no rules. Maybe it is time for you to agree on your own rules, show that you are truly Jedi who work systematically and scientifically.”
“Come Galen, I am sorry, but the power of democracy is none the less absolute.”

They all followed the expedition leader to the hangar area, where Galen Marek walked out into space by his own accord. No one forced him. The body was recovered later and placed in a casket in the morgue.

The expedition leader walked with troubled thoughts about the events last night. He had received troubling information.

Night time people…
This will be a short night as announced earlier. It shouldn't be too difficult to send in orders within that timespan. I need to do this at night instead of at work. Night ends 00:00 Central Euopean time (GMT+1) 21st of April (13 hours from now)
