Coruscant-The Works district

[Aeon Kensho™]

The Works was a large industrial area of Coruscant. The area lay fairly close to the Senate District and next to the Fobosi District. It was an immense manufacturing center for many companies, who would later abandon the planet for cheap labor and off-world facilities.

Information from our sliced files are littered with links to the Works district. More information must be gather to ascertain the true threat and to locate the base of operations. More importantly to see if there are indeed links between the happenings on Corellia and here on Coruscant. The Jedi Council has assigned two apprentices. The strange occurrences seem to originate from the Works district adjacent to the Senate district.

This area seemed to hold a great mysteries that could be connected to the treachery that nearly consumed Dathomir in the oppression of the Sith. The Works was an area to be avoided by most of the population, due to its usual inhabitants of smugglers, squatters, death stick runners, malfunctioning droids, gangsters, undocumented refugees, and Cthons.

[Uriel]

*The alley behind the bar was dark and dank like a thousand alleys in a thousand bad neighborhoods on thousands of other worlds, but for the moment, this must have been the darkest of them all. Drain pipes were dripping the waste water from nearby buildings, including the bar I had just left. The woman I am following took off out the back door, heading down this alley. It felt horribly like a trap, but I didn't have time to think about what my other options were, if I had let her go, I very well could have lost a lead on the threat to Senator Aetons life.*

*The woman was still heading down the alley, I was doing my best to stay hidden, sticking to the shadows from overhead pipe racks, or piles of garbage left to rot. Puddles of muck nearly covered the entire floor, it really was a floor because we were likely several hundred meters or more above the actual surface of the planet. One of the oddities of being on Corsucant. The muck made it far more difficult to silently tail someone, if I moved too quickly I would make more noise and give myself away, but if I moved too slowly, I could lose her.*

*I reached out with the Force, looking for her odd signature in the Force. Something about her wasn't right, but I couldn't quite place it. She seemed...slippery, like she could change the way she felt at will. But if she could really do that, then wouldn't she have by now? By this time the alley has come to a dead end. I could still feel her nearby, but that slippery feeling prevented me from pinpointing exactly where she was. Whoever she is, she's had some kind of mental conditioning or training to allow her this ability.*

*I speak loudly enough to be heard, but not above a normal tone*
"I merely have some questions for you, I would appreciate it if you would come out so we may talk."

*She responds*
"Why should I? For all I know your just going to kill me, or bring me into custody."

*Uriel*
"I am not going to kill you unless I have no other choice, and I have yet to find a reason to bring you into custody."

*Woman*
"I still don't trust you."

*Uriel*
"I could say the same about you."

*Woman*
"You have a point bird man."

*She steps out from corner where she was hidden, her blaster aimed for the center of my chest. She was wearing a low grade combat suit, like you would find on a poor worlds security forces. Hers was a size or two too small, and showed her form rather well.*

*Woman*
"My name is Brinaa. Who are you?"

*Uriel*
"My name is Uriel Set. I am a Jedi."

*Brinaa*
"What kind of questions do you have for me Jedi?"

*Uriel*
"First off, who do you work for?"

*Brinaa*
"Thats none of your business really. But I will tell you that he's one of the more respected of the lower city gangsters. He's even got a few Senators on his payroll."

*Uriel*
"Where is he from?"

*Brinaa*
"I don't really know. But based on his attitude and those of many of his guests, I'd say he was Corellian. You know how cocky they can be, especially when it comes to flying. He's got a standing wager among his men, if anyone can beat him in a swoop bike race, he'll hand over the gang to them."

*Uriel*
"Where might I go to meet with him? I'd like to talk to him."

*Brinaa*
"You don't go talk to him. He comes to talk to you. Now if you'll excuse me Jedi, I have places to go, people to see."

*She reached behind her and hit a button that I had taken for granted as some kind of maintenance console, but a hidden door slid open and shut the moment she passed through it.*

*I start walking back to the main street in order to flag down a taxi. I needed to get to the works district and start looking for this Corellian Gangster. On my way to the street, I compose a voice message to and send it to Aeon.*

"Master Aeon. I have questioned the one I suspected might have been scouting for an assassin, she has given me information leading to a Corellian gangster based in the lower levels of the Works District. This matches up with our previous intel that the base was in the Works. There is still no definite proof that any of these people have anything to do with it, but I would suspect that a gangster would have much to lose if Corellia were properly restored. I would like to ask exactly what happened to Corellia
however. I have been out of galactic events for some time. I shall continue to investigate and await your advice, Uriel out."

*The main street was in sight as I was finishing the message. I made sure to properly encrypt the comm before sending it.*

*I pretended to be shopping while I was waiting for a cab that seemed random enough to avoid it being a trap. Just in case Brinaa decided to tip her boss, they could very easily have sent someone to pick me up. But that was not the route I wished to take, however much easier it might be to get directly to the man I wanted to speak with.*

*I flagged down the 15th cab that passed by, Sullustan was driving.*

"Take me to the central hub in the Works District please."

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Pulling out my com-link off my belt I listen to Uriel's report. Sitting cross legged on my meditation seat, I push on the button and hold the com-link up to my mouth.)

"Very good. Follow the lead and attempt to find the gangsters base of operations. Continue your investigation until you have enough evidence to take your target into custody. You are authorized to take this Corellian gangster in to me for questioning. Trust your feelings, And may the Force be with you Uriel."

[Uriel]

*The cab ride took about an hour or so. The closer we got to the central hub, the more nervous the driver got. Apparently this place deserved its reputation. It used to be the central construction facility in the Republic, but now it was home to gangs and the few remaining companies that have not moved off-world for cheap labor.*

*Driver*
"Here we go"

*We were now stopped in the main plaza of the most central hub in the Works District. This was probably the safest place, all the legitimate companies had offices here and transportation to their work facilities. But once you left the security perimeter, it was as lawless as many Outer Rim planets.*

*Uriel*
"Thank you"

*I tossed the driver a credit-chip to pay for the ride, he scanned it to ensure it contained the appropriate amount of money. And the moment my feet hit the duracrete, he sped away to a more safe area.*

*I walked to the nearest directory, feigning interest in several heavy industry vehicle manufacturing companies. It wouldn't be uncommon for a successful freelance businessman to face some danger in order to secure a deal or supplies for his latest endeveaor.*

*That angle seemed to work for me as well, my taste in clothing seemed to match that station anyway. But I needed to find out what I could of local gangs. Surely someone who was as powerful as Brinaa claimed this Corellian was would have spies in all the major players in this area, so it was merely a matter of dropping the right misinformation to the right people.*

*I uploaded a list of the companies I had been pulling up, all dealing in supplies useful to mining operations on uncivilized worlds. It seemed to be the best decoy for the moment.*

*As I walked down the street, several people turned their heads for a double-take. There couldn't have been many avian based humanoids that dressed like myself and then walked the streets of one of the more dangerous districts on the planet.*

*I streatched out my awareness, looking for anyone who might be paying me the wrong kind of attention. I expected people to be interested in me, and maybe watch as I walked by, but to follow me around and intentionally try to avoid detection, that would be the ones who might know where this man was.*

*I soon came to the first office on the list, the one that builds heavy construction vehicles, and entered the building.*

*Receptionist*
"Hello, welcome to the office of Coruscant Heavy Vehicle Engineering, how may I help you sir?"

*The receptionist was an attractive human woman, with short, straight blonde hair. I walked in with my best, 'I'm an important man with little time' impersonation, which wasn't very hard, especially given the wide variety of cultures and species on this planet.*

"Yes, I'm looking for a company who can provide me with the equipment I need to build a mining outpost. I'm not looking for cheap, I'm looking for quality."

*Receptionist*
"Well sir, you've come to the right place. If you don't mind me asking, where are you from, businessmen don't usually come to this part of town alone if at all."

*Uriel*
"Petty gangs do not bother me. Their nothing but low life scum who can't figure out how the galaxy really works. But alas, I'm afraid I cannot tell you where I'm from, our species does not share our origins so easily."

*Receptionist*
"I'm sorry for asking sir. You do appear like you could take car of yourself."

*She buzzed a door and the turbolift opened.*
"Go up to the 7th floor sir. An escort will be waiting and show you to the Presidents office. He likes to make all the major deals in person."

*I give her a short bow and do as she said, making sure I kept focusing on her in the Force. As soon as she thought I was out of earshot, she opened her comlink.*

*Receptionist*
"Yes sir, he looks tough, but bird people usually aren't that strong. The guard should be able to take care of him. He looks pretty ripe."

*So they are just a front for something else. This might not be what I was looking for, but then again, it could be. I send a text based message to Aeon giving him my coordinates and a quick report on whats happened so far.*

"I'll just have to spring the trap."

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Over looking Uriel's report. Sitting in my usual spot. I sense many tremors in the Force. In times such as this a Jedi's training could save their life. I sense Vax is in danger, Stretching out I can barely feel Uriel. Not only was in the pit of darkness known as the Works district.)

(His wound seems to have left him with a different Force signature. I can feel he is alive, But it is different for me then others. I can feel him through my own connection to the Force. It is as it comes across a great distance. Not as it was before, Different.)

(Sending a holo transmission to Uriel to watch when time allowed. Still sitting on my meditation seat I hit the button on the Holo projector off set in between the two meditation seats in my private chambers at the Jedi temple. Recording a Holo-transmission for Uriel.)

"Do not assume anything. You mind must be clear if you are to discover the true villain behind this plot. Be mindful, And may the Force be with you."

[Uriel]

*Just before the elevator reaches the destined floor, a sharp prickle irritates the back of my throat, that was typically what danger felt like in the Force.*

"And here we go..."

*I open myself up to the Force, allowing pure instinct and guidance to take over, my mind shifts to the back as if it were the audience to a ballet as the Force takes control of my actions.*

*I raised a barrier of energy directly in front of the turbolift door to absorb the blaster bolts that were almost guaranteed, and jump up, clinging to the ceiling with my razor sharp talons.*

*Before the doors even had a chance to open, blaster burns began appearing on the door and half a moment later, punching completely through. The Force Barrier held up and the firing slowed to a halt as the assailants realized they weren't hitting anything.*

*Thug*
"Sith Spit. Where the heck did he go?"

*The thugs lower their weapons to investigate the turbolift but before they approached any closer, I drop down behind my barrier.*

*Thug*
"There he is, blast him."

*I raise a hand and teh barrier begins to advance out from the turbolift. I trail behind it, continually adding a little more power to it to make up for the absorption of the blasters energy. The thugs begin backing up and soon find themselves in a corner.*

*The one who appears to be in charge grabs his commlink*
"Sir, I think its a Jedi, we can't hold him off."

*Commlink*
"You have served your purpose. You may die now."

*Suddenly a pair of Droidekka's roll into the Turbolift lobby, one facing me, the other facing the henchmen. The henchmen were vaporized before I could react. Droids were much harder to read than organics.*

*My Tonfa's flew to my hands of their own accord. Both front blades and my right back blade were active, the forward blades were weaving an image of death in front of me and the back right was there to cover my flank. The hallway only went one direction on this floor.*

*Both droids were now facing me, readying their blaster cannons, with shields up. There wasn't much I could do at this point.*

*Uriel*
"Who are you?"

*A voice came from one of the droids, it was the same one that was on the thugs commlink.*
"I was hoping you were just some dumb businessman here to hand over your fortune to me. Obviously I was wrong, but now I can't let you get out and tell anyone of this place. So you are just going to have to die."

*Uriel*
"Your welcome to try, but it would be unfortunate for you to have to die just because you think I'm going to get your little operation shut down."

*Voice*
"Don't try any of those Jedi mind tricks on me, I'm NOT going to let you leave here alive and there's nothing you can say or do that is going to change that."

*The droids stance took on a more aggressive posture.*

*Uriel*
"You had your chance."

*With a thunderous boom, a wave of Force energy collides with the two droids, knocking them into the corner. The shear kinectic force of the impact stunned their processors for a few precious moments. I run up to the tangle of rolling death and surgically remove the central processing units from each one with my lightsaber. There could be some information on here that we could use to track down this crime lord. I highly doubt the one present here is the man in charge, he doesn't think strategically enough based on this poor show of force.*

*I walk down the hallway looking for where this voice over the commlink might be hiding. There were several presences withing the Force, but most had the fear of slavery written all over their minds.*

*The final door was the one with the haughty aire of false leadership behind it.*

*Uriel*.
"Why do they always pick the LAST door? Does walking down long hallways intimidate most species or something?"

*The door proved to be weaker than something an intergalactic crime lord would probably use. It was a matter of seconds before a hold large enough for me to walk through at full height was cut.*

*A blaster bolt came from behind the desk off to the left side of the room. My left front tonfa blade effortlessly moved to deflect it safely away. I reach over with the Force and pull the desk away from the man hiding behind it, two more blaster bolts fire off before he see's that its getting him nowhere.*

*Uriel*
"I wish to ask you a few questions."

*Using the Force, I pin him to the chair behind him, squeezing his hand until he drops the hold-out blaster it was clutching.*

*Uriel*
"I would have been more civil about this but your attempt at prematurely ending my life ruined that for your my friend. Now I would like to know who it is your working for. Your not exactly a smart man from what I can see."

*Underboss*
"You'll never know, even if you threaten to kill me, I'll never tell you."

*Uriel*
"I don't have to threaten to kill you. You'll just have to go through an interrogation process. We'll get what we need out of you one way or another."

*Underboss*
"I don't believe you. Prove it you Jedi FREAK!"

*My eyes change from their peaceful blue to and agitated yellow.*

*Uriel*
"The only freak that I see in this room is the one who thinks that he can get away with trafficking slaves, now if you would like for me to release them all and leave you alone with them, I'll be more than happy to oblige. Otherwise, you better start talking."

*He mutters to himself something unintelligible.*
"Just copy my computer files and leave me alone. At least then I can tell him that I didn't tell you anything."

*Uriel*
"Deal."

*I walk up to the mainframe that was tucked between two bookcases and begin downloading the information contained therein. It wasn't a whole lot, but it could prove to be enough in getting one step closer to finding this man who seems to be promoting the destabilization of Correllia.*

*On my way down I copy the information and send it to Aeon for him to review, I am in need of rest and will be returning to the Temple for the night. I needed to recenter myself and meditate.*

*Message as follows*

--Master Aeon, here is some information I pulled from a front company of one of the local gangs, I believe that they work for this Correllian gang leader that we are looking for and clues to his whereabouts may be contained in this data. I would like for you to review it yourself. I am in need of some rest and will be returning to the temple for meditation and sleep within the hour. Thank you Master and MTFBWY--

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Over looking Uriel's report the files come through. Hitting the button on my Holo projector disc. Opening a channel between Uriel and myself.)

[glow=orange,2,300]"Very good Uriel. Do not return until you have this slave trader in custody. Free all the slaves in his compound. Vax Kote will be heading to the Works to find Senator Aeton. These files will be over looked and sent to him, They could aid him in his mission."[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"Use the Force, Let it flow through and empower you. Remember compassion is central to a Jedi. If you see you can help, Then help. The Force guided you there, You never know what you might find. Perhaps some more information that could aid in this mission or more leads. I sensed your anger Uriel. Control, You must remember to control your emotions."[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"Be wary of who you make deals with. Also remember you represent the Jedi Order, You are expected to act accordingly. You are a Jedi. Shut down this slave trading operation and bring in this ring leader. Once you have done this. Return to the academy and your training will resume. Trust in the Force, Let is guide you. May the Force be with you."[/glow]

[Uriel]

*I listen quietly as Aeon speaks, once he is finished I reply*

"Yes master. The years of fighting still show their scars in my attitude towards others. This is something I must work on. This slavetrader will be brought in and the slaves released."

*I shut off the comm and walk back down the hallway to the end office. The slavetrader was slowly struggling to get out of the chair I had him pinned to earlier.*

*Uriel*
"By the way, your coming with me, and all these slaves are being released."

*Slaver*
"But you said we had a deal!"

*Uriel*
"I said that we had a deal that I would not force you into an interogation process once you gave up your files. I never said that I would allow you to continue operating. Slavery is illegal in the Republic and even if it were legal, it is an immoral thing which should not be allowed to continue. Now..."

*I throw him a pair of stun-cuffs.*

"...put those on after you've unlocked the doors to the holding cells for the slaves."

*Slaver*
"Your going to regret this Jedi. When Kael finds out who's behind this loss...."

*Uriel*
"And Kael would be your boss? This Correllian gangster we've been looking for?"

*Slaver*
"Kael? I didn't say Kael. I said that when my boss finds out he'll kill you."

*Uriel*
"Of course."

*He puts his hands into the stun cuffs and they lock into place.*

*Slaver*
"By the way, the locks are voiceprinted to open only when my boss or one of his trustee's comes to get them, so you'll never get them open anyway."

*I grab him by his right arm and begin walking down the hallway to the turbolift. In my right arm I hold out one tonfa, front blade on and slicing through the walls to seperate the locking mechanisms in the cells. The safety kicks in and each time we pass one, the door slides into the open position. The left wall was an exterior one, so there were no cells on that side.*

*Once we reach the turbolift I look back to see slaves of dozens of species peaking out their cells to see what was going on. I speak loudly but clearly so that they can hear me on the far side.*

*Uriel*
"Your all free to go. I would suggest you check in with CSF so that they may keep a record of what happened here so that they can prevent this from happening to anyone else. I will not force you to go, you all have the freedom to make your own decisions again. But if any of you do decide to follow my suggestions, my name is Uriel Set of the Jedi Order, they will probably want to know at least that much."

*I step into the turbolift with my prisoner in tow and head down to the lobby, which was now empty. The attractive receptionist had left, probably as soon as she heard the blasterfire.*

*I comm for a Jedi Security vehicle to come pick us up.*

"This is Jedi Uriel Set calling for a pickup, I have a slavetrader in custody. Also request a CSF unit be dispatched to pick up freed slaves and assist them in processing back into society and getting them home."

*Dispatcher*
"Jedi Uriel, vehicle is en route, ETA- 1 hour. CSF has been alerted and will arrive shortly."

*Uriel*
"Thank you, Uriel out."

*CSF arrives several minutes later, some of the slaves slipped out the back door but most decided to get what assistance they can and waited. By the time they were loaded up and being take to temporary lodging the Jedi Security Vehicle arrived and took us back to the temple where I turned him in to a holding cell.*

*I was tired and in need of sleep. I still slipped towards anger on occassion and needed to better control it. I head to my quarters for a rest and afterwards will go and speak with Master Aeon.*

[Vax Kote™]

-From the senate district to the works district it seemed to be a long days and nights of travel. On the edge of the city there were few small buildings followed by many large buildings. By what the bartender said to Vax it was the largest building out there. Concentrating in more and freeing his mind Vax utilized the force to try and sense Senator Aeton. It did not reach far out to where the senator was taken by the mandalorian bounty hunter. The sensation gave Vax a small head ache which allowed him to open his eyes quickly.-

-Turning his head and glancing around the outer city and the works section Vax caught sight ofa few criminals on the streets waiting to start trouble. Deep in the distance about three miles away Vax caught sight of a fairly large building. If it was the building the bartender spoke of then no doubt that Senator Aeton would be in there.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Head towards that building driver."[/glow]
-The driver awcknowledged Vax's words and quickly turned the taxi cab to the left heading towards the building. As they grew more and more close to the building Vax closed his eyes trying once more if he could further his search in finding the senator or the bounty hunter. The sensation still gave him a small head ache but like what Master Aeon had told him to free his mind he could hear the will of the force and sense where this bounty hunter was. Allowing the force to flow around him and through him all thoughts on the here and now escaped his mind. Everything was clear there; from there he picked up a strong sensation of both the bounty hunter and the senator in the building. Not only that but Vax could sense a few guards and the head boss that the bartender spoke of.-

-The taxi cab slowly approached the side of the building near the walk way and slowly came to a stop. Vax pulled a few credits from his pocket and handed them to the taxi driver. He opened the door up and stepped out onto the walkway. The entire area was filled with thick muggy air that would kill a person from lack of pure air.-

-Approaching the building Vax brought his black hood over his face. There where rodian guards patrolling the known area and kaleesh guards guarding the front entrance to the building. By the number of patrols and guardsman out Vax figured that this was none other then Corran Darnus; the crime lord that he had gotten reports from. Taking a kneeling position Vax glanced witaround the area. There where many rodians patrolling around with blaster carbines and door guards wielding electro-staffs that IG-100 magnaguards held to protect General Grievous back during the clone wars.-

-Turning his back away Vax pulled out his holopad and clicked it a few times sending a report to Master Aeon of what he had come across.-

-----Transmission: Master Aeon, I am reporting in to tell that I am believed to find a building that the slaver that Uriel brought to justice was hired by. From recsent information gathered up by a bartender the crime lord goes by the name of Corran Darnus. From the reports that Uriel had gathered from the slaver Corran is the crime lord that ordered the bounty on Senator Aeton and is urging to stop the up-rising of Corellia. I am tending to enter the building.....save the senator.....and bring the crime lord and bounty hunter in for questioning. Vax out.-----

[Vax Kote™]

-Shortly after he had sent the report transmission to Master Aeon; Vax took the data pad and hid it within his robes. Taking his kneeling position Vax looked over at the patrol men that walked around. There had to be a way to get to the entrance without drawing any attention. However, before any thought came to mind of what he was going to do; Vax felt a sudden stun surge through his body. It was a strong stun; enough to knock him down to the ground.-

------

*Two Hours Later*

-No sounds where made; within a small prison-like cell Vax slowly began to come to. He could feel the cold ground beneath his red jedi turnic. That was all he could feel; somehow his black turnic had been removed along with his lightsabe r hilt and the holopad used to contact Master Aeon at the jedi temple. It felt like he had awaken from the hybernation on Kamino at the start of his training.-

-From that moment Vax brought his arms around his chest and pushed himself up to a sitting position; then open his eyes up. The entire area had a prison cell look. It looked to be semi-dark....semi-light area. He would take a quick glance around the area taking in the surroundings trying to figure out where he had been taken.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Last thing I remember was being stun by a carbine blaster then falling un-concious. But where am I......"[/glow]
-Vax closed his eyes and calmed himself. Taking in the surroundings he tried to sense where he was but could not pin-point his location. All he could see was the entrance of the building he was about to enter.....then darkness. Opening his eyes Vax heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Slowly he stood up feeling a slight pain in his lower leg then fall to one knee with not so much as a yell escaping his throat.-

-The footsteps continued forward until they stopped in front of the cell door. Vax glanced up seeing a dark shadow standing with a brown and grey like weapon in his hand. His wear was a torn tan turnic with brown shoulder pads, a black belt, and black boots. His facial appearance; Vax could not entirly but could tell that he was of the quarren race.-

-It took about a good minute before the quarren spoke out in galactic basic to Vax. His voice seemed deep and had somewhat of an acsent where Vax could not fully understand.-

ooc- here is the color for the characters.

vax- glow purple
quarren commander- glow orange
net'ra starkiller- glow red
corran darus- glow green
senator aeton- glow blue

ic-

[glow=orange,4,000]"So the jedi master is finally awake. I knew it would be so when Lord Corran Darus asked me to bring you to him."[/glow]
-Vax glared at the quarren. Corran Darus was the crime lord that Vax had recieved info and reports of. Ignoring the fact of this Vax came out and spoke to the quarren in a low calm voice.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Who are you? Where am I?"[/glow]
-The quarren let out a small laugh.-

[glow=orange,4,000]"Your jedi powers wont work on me master jedi. All of your questions will be answered once I escort you to Lord Corran Darus."[/glow]
-He approached the cell and opened it up walking in aiming his weapon at Vax.-

[glow=orange,4,000]"On your feet.....jedi."[/glow]
-Without any fuss Vax slowly stood to his feet despite the pain in his leg. The quarren commander pushed his weapon into Vax's back as a sign to move forward. Vax followed slowly limping on his injured leg ignoring the pain as much as he could. If he could find out where his lightsaber was and here Senator Aeton was being kept then it would be simple for him to arrest Corran Darus and Net'ra Starkiller and have the jedi interrogate him. But for now he was going to meet this crime lord.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(Sitting in my chamber I wave over the black control panel built into the small table aside my meditation seat. The shades open on one side of my personal chambers. Looking to the orange red glow over the Works district. A transmission comes through, Over looking it. I sense a disturbance in the Force.)

(Concern was well placed. After Uriel's mission and the connections to the crime lord Vax's mission could have been compromised before he showed up. Uriel did not use the most discretion in handling the slaver traders. I was concerned this might have meant Vax was walking into a trap. The entire mission could be compromised.)

(If we lose these lead our connection's to the Sith treachery could be cast into darkness yet again. More importantly Vax could be injured or lose his life. Jedi value all life, Our brethren are no exception. Rubbing my chin I look off to the works district. Resume my meditation I gaze into the Force listening to the will speak.)

[Vax Kote™]

ooc- just so i am not confused and those of you who read it are not confused.

vax- glow purple
quarren commander- glow orange
net'ra starkiller- glow red
corran darus- glow green
senator aeton- glow blue

-Vax walked soundly with the quarren commander. For some reason Vax felt as though as he could sense Senator Aeton nearby; like he was aproaching him. Glancing up he saw a large door with rodian guards on both sides. The rodians formal wear with electro-staffs in the opposite of their hands. Approaching the door the quarren commander gave a small nod. The two rodian guards gave a slight nod of approval back. The doors slid open revealing a fairly large office; almost like the office of the supreme chancellor of the republic.-

-The two entered into the office only to hear the doors quickly slid shut. Not far ahead of them the mandalorian bounty hunter Net'ra Starkiller stood in the same black mandalorian armor while Senator Aeton stood beside him in a torn senator outfit. Apparently, the hunter or Corran's guards had done some interrogation to him; but at least he was okay. Vax would come to a stop not far away from the desk while the quarren commander walked passed him to the chair that stood facing away from everyone. Only the bounty hunter and Senator Aeton could see his face. The quarren approached the crime lord and spoke silently to him. After hearing these words the crime lord that was Corran Darus spun around in his chair facing Vax. From the vague appearance Vax could only see him off as a falleen.-

-Corran Darus looked to have an exact appearance of Prince Xizor; another crime lord back during the time the Black Sun was around. Corran would lean forward looking over Vax carefully. He would give a slight laugh.-

[glow=green,4,000]"He is the jedi master you spoke of commander?"[/glow]
-The quarrent commander would look at Corran Darus and gave a small nod.-

[glow=orange,4,000]"Yes m'lord. He is the one that the rodian soldiers brought in not more then three hours ago."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"You have to be kidding me."[/glow]
[glow=orange,4,000]"No m'lord; he is the one."[/glow]
-Corran let out a small sigh then looked back at Vax giving him a wierd look.-

[glow=green,4,000]"So you are the pathetic jedi that was ordered to protect this senator?"[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"And there is a problem with that."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Apparently there was no problem; considering the fact that my bounty hunter had no troubles in bringing the Senator of Corellia to me."[/glow]
-From behind the quarren commander reached into his nap sack grasping onto a weapon of some kind. When his hand showed Vax could realize that it was none other then his lightsaber. The commander approached Corran holding out the lightsaber to him in an open pawm.-

[glow=orange,4,000]"M'lord this was the weapon that the jedi had on him; nothing else."[/glow]
-Corran turned to the quarren commander and looked down at the gold and black lightsaber hilt. He took the hilt in his hands and examined it laughing.-

[glow=green,4,000]"So this is the weapon of a jedi; a lightsaber. Pitty how you did not use it against my bounty hunter."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"You should know by now that a jedi only uses his weapon for defense; never for attack."[/glow]
-The crime lord looked up at Vax. He gripped the saber tightly placing it down on his desk. Slowly Vax followed his hand movements waiting for the right time to force pull his hilt back into his grasp. The right amount of time was needed to save the senator and bring this crime lord in for questioning and detainment.-

[glow=green,4,000]"And that is what makes you jedi so weak. You only care for those around you."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"That may be true but it's for the saftey of the galaxy to ensure peace. Only sith cares for themselves never people around them. Why else do you think many turned to the darkside....."[/glow]
[glow=green,4,000]"Pathetic jedi.....you are a fool to come here and try to save the senator. Now that I have him in my grasp the uprising of Corellia will now come to an end."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Oh I don't think so."[/glow]
-In that instant Vax threw out his hand. The saber that sat on the crime lords desk flew off into Vax's grasp. He gripped the hilt tightly bringing it into the reverse shien stance and ignited the blade in an ellegant purple glow. The kaleesh body guards at the door ran forward to Vax to stop him. But in using the force to guid him he held his other hand out grabbing the guards and threw them backward; both of them slamming into a door.-

-Finally, turning to the quarren commander he would fire three blasts from his heavy weapon. Utilizing the shien stance Vax would manuver his blade around blocking the green laser bolts aimed at him. As it seemed to be no more Vax grabbed a hold of the commander with the force and thew him aside into a wall. Corran slowly backed away behind the bounty hunter grabbing Senator Aeton in the process.-

[glow=green,4,000]"Net'ra stop him."[/glow]
[glow=red,4,000]"As you wish."[/glow]
-The bounty hunter known as Net'ra Starkiller stepped forward drawing out a small ranged DC-15S blaster rifle aiming it at Vax.-

[glow=red,4,000]"Say your praryers jedi scum."[/glow]

[Vax Kote™]

-The two remained silent; both of them looking at each other waiting for one to make the first move. The glow from Vax's lightsaber shown out in the room against the mandalorians black armor, Vax's torn jedi turnic, Corrans royal cloths, and Senator Aeton's torn senator clothing. Finally, after about a minute of waiting Net'ra coked his weapon at Vax and began a barrage of fire at him. Utilizing Djem So stance Vax manuevered his blade around blocking the blue laser bolts away from him while slowly backing away while the hunter slowly came forward.-

-Vax came to a stop next to the kaleesh bodies continueing to block the blaster bolts. They where wild; some where skimming across his torn turnic while others where just hitting the wall and other objects around him. After a few more rounds spewed by him Vax extended his hand out; utilizing the force around him and thew him he gabbed a hold of Net'ra's blaster and threw it from his hands. THe DC-15 blaster flew across the room and hit the ground with a clank. Realizing that his weapon had escaped his hand Net'ra ran forward at Vax activating his jet pack. The hunter came at him with such speed from the jet pack that it gave Vax very little of time to make his next move.-

-Armor upon flesh collided; the two flew back through the crushing wall and debree until they came out in the main hallway landing on the ground; sliding about ten feet from the opening. Vax hit the ground rolling five feet away from the bounty hunter. The crushing blow left his body in pain more in his leg and some in his chest area. Re-gaining his breath Vax looked up seeing his lightsaber not to far away; utilizing the force around him and gathering his strength Vax slowly stood up ignoring the pain.-

-On the other side about five feet away Net'ra slowly rose to his feet laughing. The jet pack that he had recentally used sparked in small electrical burst. He turned to Vax giving a small smirk beneath his cracked mandalorian helmet.-

[glow=red,4,000]"You are a stronger jedi then I expected."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"I've seen better with you mandalorian bounty hunters."[/glow]
[glow=red,4,000]"To she. But I am afraid that you wont even make it back to the jedi temple with Senator Aeton of Corran Darus."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"We'll see."[/glow]
[glow=red,4,000]"Yes we will."[/glow]
-Again, in a same attack pattern the bounty hunter ran forward at Vax bringing his fist up. When he came close to about three to five feet away from him he launched three hard punches at him. Bringing his arms up in defense Vax blocked and pushed away the first punch then threw his hands out grabbing a hold of the hunters hands in two tight grips. He held his hands in the same position before planting his feet on the hunters chest and kicked him away letting go of his hands. The hunter flew back landing on his back sliding a few feet away.-

-Landing on his feet; Vax turned extending his hand out to his lightsaber. The hilt clanked a few times before it flew from the ground into his left hand. Gathering himself up the bounty hunter reached down into his holster pulling out a mandalorian disruptor pistol and turn aiming it at Vax firing off three rounds. Vax quickly ignited his saber again blocking the first two attacks away inching closer to the hunter then blocking the final attack. When he came close enough to the hunter he swung the blade again only to be taking off Net'ra hand around the wrist. Both hand and blaster flew across the room landing next to a wall. Net'ra yelled in pain dropping to his knees. Slowly Vax brought his saber down to the hunter who stood in pain. Glancing up at Vax his voice seemed to be a little more softer with add amounts of pain to it.-

[glow=red,4,000]"Go ahead jedi.....do it. Finish me off."[/glow]
-Vax glared at the hunter and shook his head deacivating the lightsaber. He brought it down to his side clipping it back onto his belt and walked past the hunter.-

[glow=red,4,000]"What are you doing? Finish me off."[/glow]
-Vax stopped and turned to Net'ra shaking his head.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"It's not the jedi way. I will not strike out in anger just to kill you bounty hunter. My job is simple: to arrest Corran Darus and bring the senator back to the jedi temple saftely. I suppose I could do the jedi a favor and bring you in to for questioning."[/glow]
-Net'ra would gather himself up shaking off the pain. He gave a small snarl holding his arm where his hand used to be while glaring at Vax.-

[glow=red,4,000]"That wont be necessary jedi. I will return to re-claim a bounty; a bounty that will now be on your head but I will claim it for free. We will meet again jedi but I promise you the outcome will be different."[/glow]
-Turning away Net'ra ran off leaving Vax in the middle of the destroyed hall. Turning back towards Corran's office Vax walked slowly back into the office where Corran and Senator Aeton stood.-

[glow=green,4,000]"You are stronger then I expected."[/glow]
-Walking closer to the crime lord Vax would hold out his hand; grabbing onto Corrans blaster he pulled it from his grasp into Vax's hand aiming it at the crime lord.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Let the senator go criminal."[/glow]
-Realizing that he had no weapon in his grasp Corran slowly backed away putting his hands up in a case of surrender. Senator Aeton looked over at the crime lord then back at Vax who motioned him to come over. The senator slowly walked over standing at Vax's side.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"You okay senator."[/glow]
[glow=blue,4,000]"I am now thank you master jedi."[/glow]
-Vax gave a short nod to Senator Aeton then turned back to Corran stepping closer.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Take a seat Corran. I wont be long with patching through to Coruscant security forces and the Jedi Council of your capturing."[/glow]
-Corran gave a short breath of air and walked over to an empty seat and sat down in it. Vax turned to Senator Aeton.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Keep an eye on him while I contact Master Aeon."[/glow]
-Quietly Vax walked over to the crime lords desk and began looking through it for a communications holopad. Searching through a number of thing Vax finally pulled one out and patched through to Master Aeon of his work. It had been a while since he contacted him via holo-communications but it would also be the best to speak of Corran Darus being detained and Senator Aeton safe and sound. Now all he would do is wait for Aeon to answer his call.-

[Aeon Kensho™]

(A sight for sore eyes my glowing red eyes see the flashing red button on my holopad. Curious how Vax made out and to transmit some information of my own. Flickering on with a few flashes I see a battered looking Vax in front of myself. Not wasting any time I raise my sleeve hand out to the hologram of Vax.)

[glow=orange,2,300]"It is good to see you Vax with the break in communications I was concerned. It seems the mission has been compromised. Security forces are en-route to your location. But you will not be returning to the temple just yet."[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"The last of their transports are being hastily loaded on the south loading dock. Make haste and attempt to stow away on one of these transports. It may be our only chance to find the connection between this all. Likely these transports are heading either to Dathomir or Corellia. The Darkside seems to be emanating from both planets."[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"The Darkside clouds everything, making it impossible to see clearly with the Force. There is no assurance any of the captives will talk. If they are working for the Sith, Fear may make it impossible for them to willingly speak. So it will take time to extract the information from their minds willing or not."
[/glow]

[glow=orange,2,300]"You are the only Jedi in range. I will not be able to make it in time. It is imperative you make it on one of those transports. The security and I will handle the clean up and safe travel of the Senator's return to the senate district. The Force has guided you there, Now it is guiding your next steps in your progression. Remember Vax use the Force, And may the Force be with you."[/glow]

(With a slight bow of my head I acknowledge my promising student. He has grown very much even just in his short mission on Coruscant. His future was bright and his mission calling. The Force had a place for him as it does all Jedi.)

[Vax Kote™]

-Vax gave a short nod to Master Aeon in the attempt. Rather then returning to the temple he was to head to a transport that either went ot Corellia or possibly Dathomir. Giving a short nod followed by a bow to his master Vax would speak after his master finished.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Yes master I will make haste. And may the force be with you as well."[/glow]
-Turning off the holopad Vax would hid the thing into his battered; torn jedi turnic. He turned to the senator and give a short nod. Walking over to Corran Darus he pulled him out of the chair and push him forward with the senator walking slowly behind him. Upon reaching darkened sky of Coruscant; Vax could see a small sunrise approaching the peak. Not far off a security gunship lowered down with Coruscant police emerging.-

-Each of the officers wearing a special senate guard blue uniform and holding a DC-15A blaster rifle; some even with force pikes. A senate guard captain walked forward awknowledging the senator and the crime lord.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Captain I am sure you can take it from here. The senator is safe and this crime lord is now in custody. I am sure you can finish up here."[/glow]
-The captain guard gave a short nod.-

[glow=teal,4,000]"Of course sir."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"Good; my mission requires me else where."[/glow]
-Vax turned to the senator and gave a respectful bow.-

[glow=purple,4,000]"Senator I hope you where not spooked out about this whole problem that happened. You are now safe and ready to return to the senate district."[/glow]
[glow=blue,4,000]"Not at all master jedi. I thank you for your time in keeping me safe and bringing this pesky crime lord to justice."[/glow]
[glow=purple,4,000]"No worries; now if you excuse me I have a transport to catch."[/glow]
-Turning away from the officers, the senator, and the crime lord Vax ran off down the street to a suspected docking bay he had seen when coming into the area of the works. Allowing the force to guide him he was hoping without a doubt that this would be the right docking bay where the transports would be leaving. If it was not then the transports would be escaping already.-
