Coruscant-Senate district

[Aeon Kensho™]

On Coruscant the Jedi have traced some leads to some treachery right here on Coruscant. Kublai Aeton a senator from Corellia is in danger and our leads have revealed intentions to assassinate the senator. Mystery keeps calling the Jedi council's attention to Corellia. Soon the Jedi would step in to help the Restoration project of Corellia. Hailing from the Jedi temple two young apprentices will be dispatched to the senate district protect the senator and investigate this plot.

This mission could likely lead in different directions so both Jedi will be working in unison at a joint mission objective. Uriel and Vax Kote have been assigned to protect the Senator and to look into our leads to the Works district. The largest industrial zone adjacent to the senate district.

The Jedi council believes Bounty hunters might be involved. Perhaps even a crime syndicate such as the Black Sun. This is speculation of course investigation will hopefully shed more light on this growing situation. Both Jedi will be dispatched shortly as time is of the essence.

Information attained at the Civil war of Dathomir by Republic spies have sliced information from the attained files that implement the Works district and the Under city or lower levels. Contracts have likely been accepted to take the senator's life. Kublai Aeton is an ally to the Jedi and will be a key player in helping the Republic restore Corellia to it's former glory.

From high in the Jedi council spire the orders have been issued. Now is the time for action. We must not let the senator to be harmed. We must also ensure that he will make the next session of the senate and be able to leave Coruscant to lead the Restoration project of Corellia. Both Jedi would dispatched to the Senator's apartment building first. From there they would decide which course of action they would take.

[Uriel]

*After obtaining some new clothing from the Temple's tailors, identical to my typical dress, in the style of Counts of Seracco, I head to Senate District apartment buildings to Senator Kublai Aetons' apartment. That location is about as secure as possible, but not impossible to infiltrate for a skilled person.*

*There were Senate Guards on duty due to recent threats, guarding all the main entrance points, double checking all I.D.'s and comparing them to lists of known criminals. Vax Kote is to meet me here, and then we decide how to go about this mission.*

*The guard at the entrance to the building see's me coming from a distance.*

"May I see your identification master Jedi?"

*I produce the small datachip of my I.D. and he scans it.*

"Your clear. Senator Aeton is awaiting you. I'll send a message up when the other Jedi arrives."

*I nod in appreciation*
"Thank you officer."

*Proceeding through the doors I get onto the turbolift and go up to the Senators Apartment, number 50-37, one of the better suites in this building.*

*A few moments later, the turbolift stops and I get off on the 50th floor. The senators apartment was at the end of a long hallway, it stood out due to the heavily armed bodyguard droids standing on either side of the door.*

*Neither one appeared to have looked at me, the door simply opened and I walked inside. My authorization having already been transmitted up.*

*Senator Aeton*
"Jedi Uriel I presume? I was told that you would stand out even among the citizens of Coruscant and I was not sure how that was possible, but I must say, you strike quite an impression."

*I bow towards the Senator*
"Jedi Uriel Set at your service Senator. I would like to ask that we wait until Jedi Kote arrives. Then you only have to brief us once."

*Senator Aeton*
"Very well, it is your choice."

*I quietly move and take a seat in the living space and wait.*

[Vax Kote™]

ooc- to avoid confusion the guards words will be in blue text and mine will be in glowing purple text.

-Vax made quick leave of the jedi temple to the senators appartment. This mission was not going to be a simple one but with another apprentice alongside on the mission it would turn out to be somewhat decsent. Coming close to the apartment senate guards where all around checking and varyfying identification cards. Within a large city-planet such as Coruscant anything could happen....even to a senator.-

-From a good distance of view the senate guard sees Vax coming up and preps himself. Vax's robes are tucked neatly around him only showing various parts of his red jedi turnic. His saber hidden neatly away for this mission in case he needed it.-

"May I see your identification card master jedi?"

-Vax nodes pulling out a small datachip that represents his I.D. and shos it to the guard. The guard makes a quick scan of it and hands it back to Vax.-

"You are clear. Senator Aeton has been expecting two master jedi. I will send word up of your arrival. As well as another master jedi that has arrived here. He as well will be awaiting for your arrival."

-Vax nods quickly smiling.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Thank you officer."[/glow]
-Vax proceeds through the doors and enters in turbolift that takes him up to the appropriate floor number. A few moments later the turbolift stops on the 50th floor. Vax exits off seeing a heavily armed droid body guard at the end of the hallway. The room that the guard was by was Senator Aeton's room. Both droids did not pay any attention to Vax as his verification had already been sent up to the senator. The door to senators room slides open allowing Vax to enter in.-

-In the room I approach the two standing before him: Senator Aeon and Jedi Uriel. Vax gives a short bow introducing himself to the two.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Greetings Senator Aeton and Jedi Uriel. I am Jedi Vax Kote. I suppose you where waiting for me. I sudjest we skip the small talk and continue on with the mission at hand."[/glow]

[Uriel]

*An introduction between myself and Vax was not necessary beyond the verification of who we were. We were both brothers within The Order and as such, petty introductions were useless.*

*Uriel*
"Now Senator, please go ahead and tell us in your own words the nature of the threats that have been made against you."

*Senator Aeton*
"There has been information that was recovered from a recent conflict on Dathomir that indicates that someone or something associated with the Works here on Coruscant does not wish for the restoration project on Correllia to proceed and they plan to stop it by assassinating me."

"We do not know who or how many. For all we know it could be a distraction or merely rumor, but this is too important of a project for my people to risk it. I requested the support of the Jedi Order in my protection and to further investigate the information."

"It is up to you two on how we will proceed with this, I will follow whatever plan you set forth, I merely ask that you do your jobs well. Grandmaster Aeon has spoken highly of both of you and has assured me that there are no two better qualified Jedi for this mission."

*I nod in acknowledgement to the Senator and turn to Vax*
"Very well, I shall investigate these reports and reveal who is behind this plot. Vax, if you wouldn't mind, escort the Senator to wherever he needs to go, just ensure that he stays safe until I have informed you that the danger has passed. There may be an attempt on his life at any time, so be prepared."

"And do not think that I am trying to order you around. I just think that it would be easier for a human to escort another human around, I tend to make a few heads turn, even on this planet."

*With a questioning tone I also ask Vax*
"Unless you have some objection or addition to this plan?"

[Vax Kote™]

ooc- forgive me if it is a little sloppy for a post. I had a lot of writing to do at school today and it kind of messed with my writing a response here on this mission. My next post will be better though when I post it.

-Vax listened closely of the Works and what exactly was happening; rumored or not this had to be investigated at all cost and reported back. From the senators words to Uriel's words Vax listened in taking in information. From there he spoke aloud of what he believed to be the best choice.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"I have no problems to this plan Uriel. I actually agree with your plan of attack. It would be best if you came with me Senator Aeton."[/glow]
-Though he would be mostly protecting the senator in this kind of situation; it would also give Vax a more inside dept of how the senators worked and what their thoughts where on the war and what they believed the jedi to be. Mainly peace-keepers and protectors of the galaxy rather then destroyers and conquers.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"I will take the senator to a safe place until you call back. This will be a place where no bounty hunters or assassins will find you Senator Aeton. I advise to wear something that will show yourself as a regular citizen of Coruscant rather then a senator. Even when we leave the body guards will be left behind. We don't want to draw any attention from un-wanted crowds on the streets."[/glow]
-Vax turned to Uriel and nodded.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"I will take the best care of our senator friend here Uriel."[/glow]

[Uriel]

"Very well Vax, take care and may the Force be with you."

*I bow and take my leave of the pair and head to the local tapcaf to see what I can find out. Deciding which one was my best bet was not a difficult thing. There were dozens of seedy establishments even in this relatively clean part of the city, but one in particular stood out. The Spacesick Rodian was a bar frequented by many of the people loosely associated with the underworld activities on this planet. None could be directly linked but served as the middle men, making the arrangements between your average person and those who broke the law for money. This bar was a sort of 'no mans land' for the various organizations and their representatives would offer unscrupulous services like a Jawa at a swap meet.*

*I walked into the bar, few people even taking notice at first. Many well dressed men came here looking to buy services. I picked an empty booth along the left wall and sat down. I ordered a plain water and began searching the place with the Force. I started with opening up to everything around me and locating the hot spots to focus in on. Looking mostly for the men who were more ruthless than others. Some here were only involved in petty crimes, minor smuggling and the like, others were here ready to offer assassinations.*

*There were 3 who seemed as if they'd kill you just as fast as buy you a drink. One was a human, slightly older than his prime but not by far, the second was a Twi'lek who seemed to be trying too hard to get the attentions of the waitress. But the third seemed more focused than the other two. She appeared to be a human, but something wasn't right with the way she felt in the Force.*

*I pull out my datapad and send a message to Vax. If I kept him informed of my actions, it would be easier to call for backup should the need arise. The message reads as follows:
------Have found someone warranting further investigation, will tail and inform you if anything else develops. Note, there are also two people possibly soliciting assassination or mercenary services, suggest informing Coruscant Security and getting someone undercover here to keep an eye on them.--------*

[Vax Kote™]

-Once after Jedi Uriel had left Vax remained calm and quiet. The appartment as well was calm with no distractions. There was no meens of drawing a lightsaber out just yet or being alerted to assassination attempts. A small peak of the sun of Coruscant came through the window shinning in on various furniture of the appartment.-

-Within his robes Vax pulled out the datapad that Master Aeon had given to him. A message from Jedi Uriel had shown that there was indeed at least two assassins that may be looking to assassinate the senator to make a few couple thousand credits in their product. With a nod Vax quickly sent a message back to Uriel agreeing in that he will forward the message to the Coruscant Security. Through that message Vax turned through a message to the Coruscant Security to get an undercover guard to watch over the assassins:

-----Attention Coruscant Security; Jedi Uriel has suspected two assassins that may be coming through with assassinating Senator Aeton. There is no real explination of weather these assassins will be here or not. Requesting an undercover security officer to keep an eye on the assassins located in the Spacesick Rodian bar. Report when the assassins are on the move....Vax out.-----

-Vax lowered the datapad hiding it in his robes. He looked up at Senator Aeton who looked to have a nervous look on his face. Many senators appeared to be this way; showing fear of a possible assassin waiting for one to make the wrong move making it easier on the assassin to kill that particular person. With a calm, soothing, and modist voice Vax spoke softly to the senator trying to calm him down.-

ooc- To avoid confusion between my character and Senator Aeton the colors will be used are:

Vax: glow purple
Senator Aeton: glow green

BIC:

[glow=purple,4,000]"By the way your expression is on your face I am believing that you are feared for assassins Senator Aeton."[/glow]
-The senator glanced over at Vax and nodded.-

[glow=green,4,000]"I've seen only but a few senators of the republic assassinated with dealings that would aid the republic. With all these rumors around and all the assassins that could be attempting or finding a way to kill me....I don't know what to do."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Fear is what modifates an assassin, a bounty hunter, and a sith Senator. Fear is what will get you killed by them. They draw their weapons for attack; we jedi use our weapons for protection and defense. The council of the jedi sent me and Jedi Uriel here to investigate of the occuring situation and keep you safe.....don't worry Senator you will be fine."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Thank you master jedi; I am just hoping that Jedi Uriel will be able to find the truth to this problem."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Without a doubt he will senator; now get some rest. If something dangerous comes will make our leave....but now is not the time."[/glow]
-The senator calmed himself slowly but still showed a sign of fear that Vax could sense little by little. Senator Aeton walked over to a small couch and took a seat. Vax walked over beside another small couch that was in front of the senator not to far away and also took a seat. He brought his legs up in a cross-legged motion, placed his hands on his bent knees, closed his eyes, and began to meditate. He concentrated on the force around him allowing it to flow around him and through him centering him. No disturbing memories came into mind; the only thing he could sense was the security guards around the building and the droids out by the door. Everything was at peace....for this moment in time.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(From within my chamber atop one of the Jedi temple's spire I sit in my meditation sitting stance. Hands open on my thighs my robes fold and crumple. Opening my eyes I sense a disturbance in the Force. Pushing a button on the table next to my seat on the right of the meditation seat.)

(A hologram of an deck officer pops up in front of myself. Casting a blue glow into the dark room. It was the dead of night and this Rodian's image moves slightly, Flickers and a line go through the holgram.)

{Deck officer}-"What is it you wish Grandmaster Kensho?"

[glow=orange,2,300]"Make contact with the senator's office. Inform Vax that I want a report of the situation immediately."[/glow]

(I sense that Uriel might have moved on the Works district in pursuit of a lead. I do hope he is ok, But I also am aware that he is more than capable of a task such as this. There was no real way to track the bounty hunters as many may have already taken the contract.)

{OOC-Ok Vax move on. Uriel move to the Works thread. Remember to watch each others threads. Uriel will return when he can. he is being deployed to Iraq so his posts will vary I am sure. Utilize the separate threads. So far everything is ok. Remember be tastefully descriptive. Just remember not to fly over things. But over all you both are doing very well of course! }

[Vax Kote™]

-For the next two hours Vax remained calm and focused; he had taken it upon himself to meditate. Allowing the force to flow around him and through him. The only beings he could sense around him was the guards around the building and Senator Aeton himself. The senator appeared to still show some nervousness of the current situation at hand. Who wouldn't either; assassins and bounty hunters are hidden in crowds. Many had to watch their backs including the jedi to make sure that the ones they where protecting where safe. That ment senators too.-

-His eyes remained shut; his hands on his knees; his thoughts focused in on what he was doing. Allowing nothing bad about the past to enter into his mind. The clone wars, the galactic civil war, and his time as a mercenary himself was a distant memory in the past. Because bounty hunters and assassins where out to get Senator Aeton; Vax had to think like one and sense when a hunter or an assassin would be coming. He knew good and well that a mear body guard would not stop a hunter from reaching his ultimate goal. Through the few more minutes of meditation a beaping was heard from his holo-pad.-

-Vax opened his eyes and reached into his robes grasping onto his holo-pad which also served as his datapad for the mission. He brought it out in front of him and flipped the device on. In a blue circular motion a light blue figure appeared. It was a deck officer. The officer wore a semi-formal uniform almost like the imperial officers back during the Imperial Days. This officer spoke in a clear yet modst tone of voice that mostly all officers would speak in; including Vax himself. How could he forget reporting to Lord Vader or Master Plo Koon of a current situation that involved a mission of protection or battle.-

ooc- the deck officer will be yellow glow and my character will be purple glow.

[glow=yellow,4,000]"Greetings Jedi Vax; Master Aeon wanted me to contact you to tell you that he wants a report of the situation so far."[/glow]
-Vax nodded to the officer and spoke to the officer quickly.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Tell Master Aeon that I will send him a report of what has happened so far via datapad."[/glow]
[glow=yellow,4,000]"Yes sir."[/glow]
-The deck officer bowed in a respectful manner. The holo image blinked off. From there Vax looked up at Senator Aeton who sat on the couch not far away from him moving his fingers around in his lap. Seeing that was a sign of nervousness and fear. Looking down at his datapad Vax sent the report of what had happened thus far.-

----Transmission Report: Greetings Master Aeon. The report that I have so far is not much happening. Senator Aeton seems a little nervous so far. Jedi Uriel has already left on the investigation of the situation of the Works. So far he has told me of two assassins probally working into attacking Senator Aeton. My eyes and ears are peeled for these assassins. If something does occur Master I will be sure to report it to you. Vax out.----

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Hitting the button I patch a holo-transmission for Vax. Still sitting on my meditation seat I lift my head. My hood hangs over my head.)

[glow=orange,2,300]"Do not assume anything. A quick assessment is just that. Remain clear and open. Trust your feelings and step up your guard. Keep perimeter checks. If something should happen to Senator Aeton while in your care You will be held responsible. This is very important, The Senator's presence is crucial to the Restoration of Corellia."[/glow]

(My hand points to Vax during the end of the transmission. My sleeve hangs onto my leg. The purple glow to the sky is sprinkled with the flicker white light of the stars. As the shades open casting the glow of Coruscant moons.)


(A blueish glow meets and orange glow in the center of my personal chambers. The glow from each room enter each from a different window. The center of the room is where the orange and blue light meet one another meshing into a luminescent glow to my chambers.)

{OOC- Open the SL up. Two bounty hunters is lame and not exciting at all. It takes away the surpise the readers get! That was a bad move to state that would be the base of operations for Bounty hunters. There would be a little more discrete then just hanging in a bar openly excepting contracts to kill senators. So remember this SL is yours and I want to see you own it more Vax. Right now you are slacking, Get it together and get this SL going.

Uriel you too had some vague writing at the beginning rushing over lots of events like leaving the temple and such. You were just there, Then Vax did the same. So please be on your writing more than that. I know you can do much better. No half posts, I know you are busy just take your time. heading to the other thread will give you the freedom to post when you can. And as I said the bar was a bad move, You wrote that not Vax. So take your SL you are working on to the Works. But do try harder to make a more believable experience. If you play a Mando character you must know more than what you wrote. It seemed liek a cop out to me.

Leave things open so you can have creative fun and write it as you go. This way you can leave some things open and expand on your SL as you move on. Right now I am not liking what has been done. Show me your true RP colors! I want to see what you are going to write so own up and get the ball rolling on your first SL. Last time I checked you seemed to be dying to write Vax-Well? }

[Vax Kote™]

ooc- with a bunch of school stuff happening I have barley enough time to work online with all my homework. This week will be the busiest week of them all along with next week. Until I can get stuff done my posts will be shortened but I will modify then when time goes on.

Vax: glow purple
Senator: glow green

This is for when the two talk.

-Vax sat quietly on the hard ground in a meditative stance. He did not bother going to someplace more confortable. Only on a smooth surface would he be able to get through with most of his meditation on what he had to focus on the most: that was protecting the senator. Regardless of any out-come Vax knew that Senator Aeton was left in his hands and was his responsibility. Even if he got injured Vax would be held responisble for the senator's injuries. There was no sound to be heard in the room: only the sound of breathing, the mechanical droids outside the room, and the vehicles zooming by outside. From the silence the sound of the senator was heard. He had spoken out to him in a question like manor. He barley caught the question but managed to pin-point out what it was he was asking.-

[glow=green,4,000]"Why don't you take a seat on the couch Vax?"[/glow]
-Vax slowly took a breath of fresh air into his lungs; this fresh air allowed him to remain more focus and centered in on what his missions was.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"I rather not Senator; confortable situations will cause me to lose focus on what I am currently doing through a meditative stance. Loosing focus on my objective is something I rather not do."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Well you could at least show som curtiousy and tell me a little about yourself."[/glow]
-Vax now knew why he did not like senators of the republic. Though it was an obligation of the jedi to protect the senators; Vax always felt like killing one of these senators. They cared to much for their own home-worlds and always believed that they where the up-most important in the galaxy. Vax canceled these thoughts away from him and looked at the senator.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"My past will only bring me destressing memories of what happened a long time ago."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"You can't be that old."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"I served the clone wars and the galactic civil war."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Shouldn't you be dead then."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"I should be but I was placed away in hybernation on Kamino after Vader's death. My training in the force is with Master Aeon. He has told me to forget the past and only focus on my current situation. He wants me to unlearn what I have learned."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"But clones should not be...."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"I was a different type of clone in my batch; only but a few survived the genetic tampering the kaminoans gave to us."[/glow]
-Everything seemed to quiet down after Vax spoke. The senator remained quiet thinking of things that had to deal with what was happening now. As far as Vax could tell; this senator was all talk of ones past and cared only for his saftey. A conversation such as this was always steered in the wrong direction; espically when it came to Vax's past. There had always been a number one reason why many hated senators. But for now Tal was protecting one; one who had an important operation to the rebirth of his home-world.-

-For the next few hours everything was quiet and calm. Vax remained in the same meditative stance taking slow calm breaths. He kept his eyes closed allowing the force to flow around him and through him. He could sense Senator Aeton and the many guards that were around the building just as before. However, another sensitivity caught him. It was not a jedi, not a sith, but an assassin. Quickly he opened his eyes up standing up.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Senator get behind me."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Why whats wrong Master Vax."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Just get behind me senator before....."[/glow]
-A loud explosion occured through the glass of the window. Senator Aeton turned falling to the ground. The shattered remains of the glass scattered around him into small bits and peaces. Through the smoke a man emerged. By the sounds of his footsteps he had a lot of hunting equipment on him. The very sound of what he wore allowed Vax to know what kind of person this was. When the smoke finally cleared the assassin's armor finally showed through. The armor was a pitch black and grey mandalorian class armor. Vax lowered his hand down to his side by his lightsaber hilt readying to grasp it.-

-The mandalorian looked over at the senator. He turned to him pointing down at him with his right hand. In his other hand was a mandalorian diruptor pistol. He stepped forward to the senator bringing his pistol out at him. Stumbling across the broken glass Senator Aeton hurried to get back to Vax for saftey.-

[Vax Kote™]

-Vax trembled a bit watching the mandalorian bounty hunter point his disruptor pistol at Senator Aeton. His very own breath began to get heavy; a memory of the past came to where he was in this very situation; pinned down by General Grievous when he was on Raxus Prime fighting against the seps for freedom. Everything that was happening in the here and now was fadding past him. The bounty hunter walked over grabbing the senator by his formal attire bringing him up and grabbing him by his neck.-

[glow=green,4,000]"Vax....Vax.....VAX!!"[/glow]
-From the yelling of the Senator it snapped Vax out of the transe. He quickly shake his head a few times turning to the bounty hunter. He lowered his hand down to the saber hilt grasping onto the hilt and un-clipping it from the clasp. The hilt was held in the reverse Shien stance but was not ignited. Vax stepped forward to the hunter.-

ooc- the hunter will be glow red.

[glow=red,4,000]"I would not take a step closer jedi or the senator here will meet the wrong end of a blaster barrel."[/glow]
-The hunter bent down grabbing the senator by the robes he was wearing and hoisted him up into his arms by his neck. Senator Aeton struggled to break free from the grasp the bounty hunter held on him but the strength he had was un-relistic. Vax came to a motion stop watching the bounty hunter. The senator's life was left in his hands; he would have to take responsibility for what happened to him if he was killed or injured by the hunter. Vax took a small breath of smoke air and exhaled. The hunter smiled and chuckled slightly.-

[glow=red,4,000]"I knew you would never do it jedi; no wonder you are always weak. I have the senator and there is nothing you can do to stop me."[/glow]
-Vax gripped his saber harder; the insult that the hunter made angered him a little to a point where he would ignite his saber and kill the hunter; but that would probally result in Senator Aeton in being killed. That was not a decision is was willing to risk; so he just calmed himself.-

[glow=red,4,000]"Now that I have the senator I will claim my bounty from the one who hired me....good bye jedi scum."[/glow]
-Reaching down the hunter pulled out a thermal detonator activating it. He threw it at Vax and jumped out of the windor with the senator in his arms. The detonator went off destroying everything in the apartment. Vax ducked down and covered himself from the building, debree, smoke, and small fires that engulfed the room.-

-When everything cleared Vax stood up dusting himself off; he let out a few short coughs. His robes and his jedi turnic completely dirty with a few burn marks on it with torn parts where seen. The graffed skin on his right arm burned a little showing the cybernetics in the arm. He looked around seeing nothing but destruction in the apartment. He closed his eyes and exhaled a sigh of breath.-

"Why didn't the senator listen to me? The council will be most dis-pleased with my actions now. I must find and rescue Senator Aeton before it's to late."[/i]

-He turned to the window and walked towards it till he was looking over the side seeing passing by speeders and other buildings and apartments. Not only was Aeton's life on the line but so was the re-birth of his homeworld. Vax had to no matter the cases to find the Senator before the un-thinkable happened. And that was now!-

[Vax Kote™]

-Vax cursed himself; mainly the senator for not listening to him. But that was the problem with all senators; they never listened and they always asked questions for stupid reasons that pertained to the jedi. Ever since protecting Palpatine during the clone wars he always felt the need to put a blaster to a senator's head and pull the trigger. But this time was different now; this time he was a jedi padawan going out of his way to save the senator. It was his responsibility to keep him safe; the jedi council would never approve for his carlessness of him bringing back a body of a dead senator. Bringing back a living senator was his job now.-

-Quickly Vax turned away from the window and walked out of the burning reckage of the apartment. He walked down the long hallway only to be stopped by one of the guardsman of the main entrance. It was the same guard he passed by when he entered into the complex to meet with senator Aeton and Jedi Uriel.-

[glow=blue,4,000]"Master Jedi we heard an explosion what happened up there."[/glow]
-Vax turned his head slightly to the room that smoke billowed from. He turned back to the guardsman and spoke clearly to him.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"The senator was kidnapped by a bounty hunter. I am going to pursue him."[/glow]
[glow=blue,4,000]"Should I call the jedi council sir."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"No, I will confront Master Aeon and speak to him of what happened. It is my sworn duty to keep Senator Aeton safe and I intend on doing that. It is my assignment; my job as a jedi to make sure he is safe. Now if you excuse me I have a senator to save."[/glow]
-He walked forward pushing the guard aside. Outside the building the roaring sound of speeders above and below where heard. Vax closed his eyes and exhaled a small breath of air. He was performing meditation of where the bounty hunter could of taken a senator. Not many crime lords lived on Coruscant. The only known people where the ones on the lower levels. Images flashed through Vax's mind of potiental hot-spots of where bounty hunters would be expected to travel. Some of these places where cantinas and others where buildings where crime lords would stay awaiting for the hunter to bring the hunted.-

-Through some of the images he had seen Vax opened his eyes; at least three locations would possibly be one where the hunter took Senator Aeton. Walking forward to the edge of the walk-way and waved his hand out for one of the Coruscant Taxi's. Luckily one stopped in front of Vax and allowed him to enter. Vax stepped into the taxi taking a seat while shutting the door at the same time.-

[glow=teal,4,000]"Where to good sir."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Take me to the outlander club."[/glow]
[glow=teal,4,000]"As you wish sir."[/glow]
-With speedy motion the taxi sped off down partially to partial of the lower levels of Coruscant. The Outlander Club was a place where many went to go party and drink their days away. It was a local place that felt like a Mos Eisley Cantina. Vax never really got found of visiting Cantina's to find information out but it was the only way to save the senator before he told the council of jedi.-

-The travel from the senate distract to the lower levels of Coruscant where cantina's and local hangers stood was long; possibly around 30 minutes of a ride which took away from Vax's time to find the senator. Vax knew patience was key into saving the senator so he decided to meditate through the ride. The meditation allowed him to try and sense where the senator could of been taken. The sensation of the bounty hunter was hard to pin point out as there could of been many bounty hunters wearing the same type of armor/cloths.-

-In these moments of despair Vax remained calm and focused on what he was doing. His breathing was slow and percise to where he could hear nearly every heart-beat around him including the taxi driver. His eyes were closed shut the entire time allowing no problem or visions of the past to corrupt him. This remained true the same until he heard the taxi cab come to a stop. The taxi driver turned to Vax.-

[glow=teal,4,000]"We are here sir."[/glow]
-Vax opened his eyes and came out of his meditative stance. He got out of the cab pulling around twenty republic credits from his pocket out and handed them to the driver. The cab driver took the credits, thanked Vax, and drove off. As soon as the driver left Vax turned around to the entrance of the Cantina.-



-All around the front entrance to the night club people walked; these where not just humans they appeared to be rodians, mandalorians, kel'dors, kaleesh's, and any other species that was deemed to be a criminal or hired mercenary for a crime lord. It was from seeing these different species that problems could arise; espically if a jedi walked into the cantina. In a standing still location Vax brought his black robe over his head; hidding his appearance. He needed to be careful not only around a bartender but all the smugglers, assassins, bounty hunters, and mercs that where drinking around him. This was where being a jedi came in handy. Taking small steps Vax finally walked into the cantina.-

(Sitting on my meditation chair crystals float encircling myself. My hands are open except for my thumbs and index fingers touching in a meditation pose. Moving the crystal in a circular spin lowering them down onto their velvet beds. The colors of the crystals glow brighter for a moment as they are lowered.)

(Opening my eyes I sense a shift in the Force. A tremor sent out rippling through the endless boundaries of the Force. Sensing Vax might be in danger I feel I should check in on him.)

[glow=orange,2,300]"I do hope nothing has happened to him."[/glow]

(My sleeve swings down touching the floor as I press a red button on the holo-Projector adjacent to my meditation seat. With a quick flicker an image of the Security Captain at Senator Aeton's apartment. His nervousness is apparent as it is written all over his face. He was an older human wearing a standard senate officer outfit.)

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Master Jedi an incident occurred and your Padawan or the Senator are neither present to give you a report of the situation. An assassin has made an attempt on Senator Aeton's life. I regret to inform you that the Assassin in fact kidnapped the Senator. Your Padawan as I said is in pursuit investigating the Senator's where abouts." [/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"Inform me of any changes Captain."[/glow]

(Rubbing my chin I hit the red button once again. The holo image pulls back into the disc and the blue glow of the hologram is extinguished. Darkness fills the room once again. Raising to my feet I leave my meditation chambers and head out on to my private balcony of my personal chambers walking out on to this large catwalk that wraps along this spire of the Jedi temple.)

[Vax Kote™]

-The atmosphere was full of life. Different species, different kinds of hiring mercs, smugglers, and bounty hunters, and different citizens all stood and sat with various drinks in their hands. Smoke could be smelled; some where smoking while others where playing games that involved earning credits. Standard cantina music played while all of these people had a good time going about their things: naimly getting drunk from alcohol. This was just the kind of place that Vax did not like walking into.-

-Keeping his robe over his head and reducing his step Vax approached the bar where a few species stood with cups in their hands. Vax leaned on the table while a local rodian bartender approached him. Because of his long distance in traveling from the clone wars and the galactic civil war Vax had learned to speak certain languages that included the rodian language, the mandalorian language, and huttese. The rodian bartender set a drink down for a human criminal who took it up quickly and gulped it down. The rodian stopped and turned to Vax. His skin a pale green with yellow alien eyes and bartender cloths.-

[glow=yellow,4,000]Translation: "What can I get you sir."[/glow]
-Vax stood silent for a brief moment glancing around the area. He wanted to make sure no one was watching. Once the ghost was clear Vax cleared his throat and leaned forward to the rodian.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Actually I am looking for a bounty hunter; a mandalorian in black and white armor. Did he happen to come by."[/glow]
-The bartender brought his finger up thinking of what Vax asked him over. He knew but decided to lie about it instead.-

[glow=yellow,4,000]Translation: "Bounty hunter, bounty hunter, bounty hunter. I am afraid no bounty hunter came by."[/glow]
-Vax looked around once more; though he did not know the way of using jedi mind trick he figured this would be the perfect time to do so. Leaning in further he gave a slight wave of his hand in front of the rodian followed by speaking.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Who is the bounty hunter and were did he go with Senator Aeton."[/glow]
-Un-able to refuse the power of the jedi mind trick from Vax the bartender spoke out against his will of the bounty hunter and where he went with Senator Aeton.-

[glow=yellow,4,000]Translation: "The bounty hunter goes by the name of Net'ra Starkiller. He came here about an hour ago with the senator then left to the lower levels of the city near the Works. He spoke of going to a crime lord by the name of Corran Darus; Darus is well known near the Works and has a small palace near the place. It's not hard to spot."[/glow]
-From the bartenders words Vax stood up and turned away from the bartender. He knew where he had to go next; it was un-canny but he had to protect the senator.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Thank you for the information."[/glow]
-He walked outside the bar now able to get a breath of fresh Coruscant air into his lungs rather then the smoke and the smell of alcohol from the cantina. He walked to the edge of the platform and waved down another taxi. The taxi came to a stop allowing Vax to enter. He opened the door up and sat down closing the door as he took a seat.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Take me to the Outskirts of Coruscant; near the works if you will."[/glow]
-The driver nodded and they were off to the outskirts of the city near where Uriel had left for....to the Works sector.-
