Round 8
Day
The Jedi crew of the Star Destroyer searched the ship from stern to aft looking in every crook and corner for something that would indicate what they were up against. They searched every cabin, storage area, vehicle, space craft, weapon cache and turret. Even the life pods didn’t go unturned. They came up nearly empty handed. At the end of the day a few Padawans had wandered into a secluded storage area where they had found an empty room with a singe dais in the middle. They had pried loose the plaque from the dais and returned to Qui-Gon Jinn with the plaque.
“This is exactly what we were looking for. This is the evidence that reveals to us our true enemies.” Qui-Gon were pacing back and forth with the plaque in hand. Something must have been on that dais, something important enough for two of us to go and remove it and hide it. No doubt they had the item on them during the search but now that we are finished, it is hidden again.” It was very late and they had worked all day and were quite tired.
Atris the beautiful Padawan that every one of the male crew members were drooling over was returning to her quarters. She had a fright this morning finding Corran Horn dead outside her cabin. She wasn’t too confident about her security. When she reached her cabin she looked nervously to either side of the hallway, but saw nothing in the darkness. A dark and raspy laughter boomed through the hallway and she turned, backside to the cabin door. She saw nothing… A crimson beam was suddenly lit in a crook just opposite her cabin and a figure shrouded in a dark cloak stepped out into the hallway. She was about to scream when the cloaked figure with lightening speed speared the lightsaber through her throat and into and through the cabin door, The cloaked figure swiftly withdrew the crimson plasma blade and Atris slumped to the floor dying. The cloaked figure rasped: “I am sorry sweet one, but you were beginning to be a nuisance.”
Micah Giiett returned to his quarters, happy as ever. He was the kind of person that was carefree, never taking in things too serious. He skipped along the hallway whistling on a childhood tune that his mother always sang to him.
He neared his quarters when he felt an odd sensation. It was like the air from his lungs were drained from him and he no longer had the willpower to refill them. He collapsed on the floor, his face going blue. A cloaked being came walking up the hallway, amber glowing eyes under a cowl. With hatred in voice it decleared: “Micah, I do not like that tune particularly well. Please refrain from whistling it again. Well, I’ll make sure you don’t .. Hahhahhahahahah!!!!” And with those words the cloaked figure made a gesture and crushed Micah’s throat.
Belth Allusis returned to his quarters when he met up with a fellow Jedi. They walked together a little while discussing the resent events, when the other fellow Jedi suddenly made a gesture. Belth went blank and sagged to the floor unconscious. His life vitals were reduced to a bare minimum to keep his body alive. The fellow Jedi hurried back the way they had walked.
A person walked along the hallway towards the cabin of Atris. He saw the body that lay slumped under the cabin door and rushed to it. When he saw that it was in fact Atris with a gaping hole in her throat, he made a grimace. Not Atris… that wasn’t fair. He vowed that whoever was responsible would pay dearly for this meaningless slaughter of a young and defenseless youth.
Somewhere a member of the Jedi expedition force was meditating.
He had started his usual routine, but was suddenly overcome with peace and elevation as a presence surged into his very being. He heard a call from somewhere and followed the directions he received. The directions led to a special storage area.
The night finally ended and the Jedi crew was yet again reduced by two members.
Belth Allusis had woke up in the hallway with a pounding headacke but was present at the morning meeting when Qui-Gonn Jinn entered. ”We are dealing with the Sith and they are two in number and they sit here among us. Find them using your craftiness and power of discussion. I am confident that you will find at least one of them today. Oh and before I go,
Keyan Farlander has been promoted to the rank of Padawan. Congratulations!!!"
