A Wandering Path {Kamino}

[Vax Kote™]

The Planet of Storms; that seemed to be what everyone called Kamino. It was on this watery world that the Clone Army of the Galactic Republic was created along with the Kamino Home Fleet. The inhabitants were a race of tall, elegant beings known as the Kaminoans. They kept to themselves and were well known for their cloning technology. This watery world was at the most a place were clones would call home seeing as this was their creation world.

However, recently the Republic lost contact with the cloning facilities of this world. Because of this they requested the assistance of the jedi order to discover the lack of communication of this watery world. Only a few jedi knew a lot about Kamino and how it functioned. The Jedi Battlemaster Vax Kote was one of the many surviving clones from this planet. The order's grandmaster - Aeon Kensho - placed it upon Vax and a jedi padawan named Cadeus Krayt to explore on what actually happened on this world.

Aeon held some connections to the Kaminoans of the planet. Even Vax held in some memories of how the cloning facilities worked. This lead to a question of who he was actually cloned from to become a force sensitive clone.

The only question that seemed to remain was to get in contact with the Kaminoan; Bhaal (a character used when I first started my training) and seek out these answers. The mission still remained as such as the discovery of why the Republic had lost contact to the cloning facilities of this world. It left worry into the Republic, Aeon, and even Vax. A perfect reason to specifically come to this world in the first place.....

The worst seemed to always happen when going on these recon style missions. Either having a low number of troops and being out numbered in the worst case scenario or having no troops at all to back one up. The jedi battlemaster knew that this was not going to be an easy assignment. His best troops; a team of Jedi Commandos called the Wolf Fighter's were the only troops he saw fit for any kind of assignment even if it was recon. His team leader was a man named Richard Skar took orders extremely well and always thought highly of the mission and his jedi commander.

Captain Skar

The commanding officer of all the Wolf Fighter's team and any other team of troops that is assigned to him. Don't let his Captain rank fool you. He always strives to complete his mission even if it means himself bleeding to death from an open wound.

--------------------------------

-Was this supposed to be a simple mission? No. Was it a mission to simply land, look around, and then leave? No. Nothing came easy no matter what way one would look at it. Just like training to become a jedi for the jedi order was difficult; so was the missions to go on. They were always dangerous? Suicide seemed like the best bet? However, there was many words such as peacekeepers, defenders of peace, etc. etc. etc. The words were all heard through many wandering eyes and ears. Spoken over and over and over again. It seemed like the same for any other jedi? A simple task of figuring something out and then having troops go in to solve the problem. Nothing came easy; it was never meant that way. One always had to work to achieve something in life.-

-Well, to say the least that was what Vax hoped for anyway? The time of being a clone for the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars was enough to put anyone on edge. The jedi battlemaster saw much in that time. However, one question remained with him through the visions he saw through meditation. Who was he cloned from anyway? The time arose when he was tasked with coming to his birth planet and get those questions answered. Accompanied by a young jedi padawan..... Cadeus Krayt. Here to face a trial to see if he really earned the title of being called a Jedi Knight in the order.-

-With Vax's own personal ship? A Nebula-class Star Destroyer that he called The Defender en-route to the watery planet. It was good enough to have some time to prepare and relax for the moment. Vax hadn't seen Kamino since leaving with Master Aeon to train to become a jedi. He had not seen Bhaal or any of the kaminoans who saw him as a special kind of clone. It had been years since the last sighting.-

-This was the perfect timing to return. But it was not one of those vacation spots to see. This was much different. Discovering why the lost in contact was so sudden with the Republic. Vax kept this into thought of what really happened. It seemed to obvious? The Kaminoan's would of contacted the Republic or the Jedi Order if something went wrong? It seemed like a trap that they were walking into, but what choice did they have. They had to find out what was going on and this seemed to be the only way possible.-

-He secured his black robes to himself; a few peaces of armor for protection, and his two lightsabers. Everything was set for this jedi. Keeping the hood on the upper portion of his neck; he closed his eyes for a mere moment before leaving his personal quarters of the Defender and entered into the hallway. Thinking it through more he knew this would be Cadeus' first assignment with the jedi. And a good feeling came through that he would perform well to reach the next step of a jedi.-

-For now their main objective was to reach the Planet of Storms first before anything else occurred.-

[Cadeus]

:If someone was to look at him, Cadeus would appear calm and in control. The young jedi had learned very quickly that being able to hide what he was feeling was extremely useful. It kept him from bothering anyone else and it also kept those who would seek to get an emotional reaction out of him from trying in the first place.:

:But in reality, Cadeus was very worried about what he would find on Kamino. If the Sith that had ordered him to attack Master Aeon's ship was there, what would he be able to do? The idea of dealing with the Sith bothered him. He did his best to calm himself and then walked out of his own quarters. The walk, he hoped, would help him to calm down.:

:The ship was like nothing Cadeus had ever seen. He had been on Master Aeon's ship once before but he had seen very little of it. The men who worked in the ship payed him no mind, which Cadeus found better than the alternative of being recognized.:

:Cadeus eventually walked into the hangar to get a good look around. He stayed up against the walls in order to stay out of the workers way. The ships, in his opinion, were quite impressive to look at.:

:Eventually Cadeus decided to try to find Master Vax's force signature and walk in that direction. Every step he took towards Master Vax's position seemed to raise Cadeus's level of worry. He assumed that Master Vax knew what he used to be.:

[Vax Kote™]

((ooc- Pretty sure everyone has been having some trouble with real life issues. I know I have. Anyway, here is my post.))

-Vax had taken the time to meditate on the happenings so far. The force had told him to return to Kamino for some reason. It seemed like he was being called back to his birth planet to settle something. Not only that, but the Republic had lost contact with the cloning facilities of this world; this only lead to the conclusion of the possibility of the sith wanting the Kamino cloning facilities for their own use. Vax had not seen Kamino in quiet some time; so this would be like a reunion of a return home. To see those who were like his parents. Friendly faces? But that did not seem like what they were hopping for.-

-Midway into his meditation; the jedi battlemaster heard something. It sounded like a scream. Soon several more screams entered into his head. Cries in the force all calling out to him. His eyes soon shot open. His breathing was heavy, but not to the point to where he was gasping for air. His eyes shifted around the room he sat in.-

"A vision?"

-A strong disturbance in the force it was, but Vax could not figure out where it was coming from? It didn't sound like Kamino at all. If it wasn't then what planet was it. Exhaling a breath of air; the jedi battlemaster rose to his feet. After sensing that they would be arriving soon to Kamino; he figured it would be best to meet up with Cadeus. Walking out of his personal quarters; Vax's head shifted over to the approaching Cadeus. Well that sure didn't take long to find him. Offering a smile the jedi battlemaster greeted Cadeus.-

"Young Cadeus. It's good to see you keeping on the move? Observing your surroundings. I hope you are taking my flagship to your liking. Her name is The Defender. Well equipped and well armed."

Although, I really don't see a reason in bringing her this far to figure out why the Republic lost contact with the Cloning Facilities of Kamino? -Thought the Jedi Battlemaster.-

"In any circumstances; I hope you are prepared for the tasked assignments that will be coming up to you. Already I sense we are drawing near the planet. If prepared and ready you are; shall we make our way to the hanger?"

[Cadeus]

OOC: Now that my schooling is not a problem I hope to get back into the swing of things. I apologize for not posting in some time.

"Yes, Master Vax. I only wonder what could cause us to lose contact with Kamino. This is where the clones come from and it stands to reason that if there was anything attacking they could put up a fight long enough to call for help."

:Cadeus, constantly feeling the smallest urge to employ the dark side of the force, breathes fast for a moment before he can gain control of himself. It embarasses him that he is in this state of existence but he thinks that if he can carry on long enough the urge will leave him. The urge drives him to study the force and figure out how to finally remove all of the damage that the dark side of the force has done to him.:

:As he walks Cadeus does his best to remember the path that he is using so that he does not get lost in the future. Though he feels that there is not much of a chance that the Sith from Korriban is on Kamino, it still bothers him. Between his constant urge to use the dark side of the force and the fact that the battle against the Sith might force him to do so, he becomes very worried.:
