A New Beginning (closed)

[Master Yoghurt]

***Streaks of light became shorter.. turning to twinkling dots as the Corellian Freighter YT-1300 Silver Falcon disengaged the hyperdrive. In the middle of the viewscreen, there it was; the hemisphere of a green bead illuminating the dark ominous void of space. A precious jewel.. a marble with gracious cloth of clouds scattered, over its body. So peaceful.. so beautiful.***

-----------

In the cabin, a small figure sat behind the controls, gently adjusting the throttle for the subspace engines with his tiny green hands. The modified T4 Incom Mark II fusal propulsion system hummed happily as he increased the speed toward its target.

He had the most worried and concerned look on his face as he emerged his minds in a train of thoughts. It was a terrible day for the Jedi Master. Something horrible had happened. He could still remember it clearly. Through the highly customized Chedak Frequency Agile subspace tranceiver, he had received a Class Red encrypted message from JK Leia Solo:

<font color=red>"Urgent... zzzzrrt... The Sith Empire are destroying our Headqu... zt.. ers! We... zzrt... forced to evacuate. Your mission... zzzzrrt... highest priority. The Jedi zzzzzrrrtt.. with you at jumpoint B. We hope... zzzzzzrrt. See you there. May the Force... zzzrt.. you!"</font>

The bad transmission could not hide how desperate she sounded. Neither could he deny cry in the Force he had felt. His friends were in trouble, no doubt. It was a dark, dark time for the Jedi. However, in the Darkness there was a small beacon of light. There was a hope. It was time for a new beginning. What the Council had decided upon many months ago, and which he and DT had been assigned to do, seemed even more important now. It was simply no longer a convenience - it was a necessity. No word had been received of how the <a href=http://pub2.ezboard.com/fswvstitanicstarwarsroleplayingarchive.showMessage ?topicID=3024.topic>rest of the mission</a> had been going, but nevertheless, he was determined to finish what was started.


The pilot could not decide what distracted him most from thinking on the <a href=http://pub2.ezboard.com/fswvstitanicstarwarsroleplayingarchive.showMessage ?topicID=3027.topic>latest events</a>; the magnificent mirror image of the sun reflecting on the planet's ocean or the flashing warning lights on the control panels that screamed as the stellar object pulled the ship toward herself with the arms of gravity. The hull of the freighter made whistling sound as the metal hit the outer layer of atmosphere; "Fffffffhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeee...". The vector trust system burst out jets streams in the opposite direction of movement, slowing down the descent. As the surface closed in, the entire viewscreen was filled with life.. forest as far as the eye could see. This was not a dark desolate place with swamps and thick clouds. This was a place of great beauty.


The flight computer searched frantically for potential landing sites. There.. perfect spot for landing ships and unloading cargo. A large field of grass. No trees or rocks to obstruct in the entire area. There would be plenty of room for the others. With a whirring sound, the landing gear unfolded, ready to touch the ground. Subspace engine switched off as the repulsor lift system kicked into action. The pilot made some last adjustments while the ship glided in for landing. A quick jet burst of steam shoot out to gentle the contact as the metallic feet stepped on the surface.

The landing platform lowered, revealing the small green creature. The air was fresh. It was good to get out into the free of nature after sitting in that metal can. Good to feel the ground under the feet again. Much like how a sea travelers who traveled those ancient vessels propelled by the wind a long time ago, would feel when he reached a harbor. But it was not time for admiring nature. The time schedule was tight.

Out of the cargo hold, he was pulling what seemed like some sort of a parabola dish. It was a radio communication antenna. Setting it up some distance from the ship would enable him to combine the broadcast with the subspace tranceiver on board the Silver Falcon, thus he would increase the range. Not a good time for miscommunications due to bad connection. He connected a wire to the antenna, and pulled it toward an outlet on the side of the ship.. then walked in to the tranceiver itself.


An encryption logarithm run in the background as he talked into the microphone: "Master Yoghurt speaking.. the Falcon has landed. Building of nest to start. Help is needed."

[Jedi Rebel X]

::As Rebel streaks through the endless stars he wonders what will await the jedi as they begin rebuilding. A time of starting over, after TSE's attack on Dagobah. He thought of how strange it was going to be to get used to a new area, a new place to live and operate from. Rebel already missed the smell of the dew around the old temple as he walked around in the early morning. For a second he drifted into a daydream, smelling the sweetness of some nearby flowers, and sitting against a tree as night became dawn. Suddenly he was jarred back to reality from his dream by his ship coming out of hyperspace. Rebel looks at his ship's computer::

Approaching jumppoint B_
Coming out of hyperspace_
Commensing landing program 2.3ka.6 at area delta b_

::Looking at his nav computer he sighed and prepared to land as the rendeavous point came into view on his mainscreen, ever so slowly. It became larger and larger, as Rebel continued to look on. Stormchaser entered the atmosphere of the jedi's new home, stopping the thrusters periodically, going through it's programmed landing. Rebel got up from his seat and put on his gear as his ship reached the designated area::

*Blip* *Blip*
*Rebel's nav computer picked up another ship's presence*

"Ah, so Yog has already arrived, good."

::Stormchaser's thrusters disengaged as it landed ever so gracefully on the large grassy meadow, coming to a stop near the Silver Falcon. As his ship's gangplank extended down onto the ground Rebel walked out and took in the beauty of the area. He felt a slight wind blowing, sending scents of the surrounding meadow through the air. Coming back to what he was there for, Rebel looked over towards where the 3 foot tall figure of Yog was standing, looking over the land, and walked over::

"Glad to see you Rebel. Now we must begin building."

"Yes, we must hurry and build a new base. Where do you think we should start?"

[Figrin D an]

*** Bleep Bleep ***

The Jedi was awakened by the sound of the navigation proximity alarm. After slowly sitting up and stretching his arms above his head, Figrin stood up and walked out of his sleeping quarters. The hyperspace flight from Dagobah had been long, but uneventful... a welcome change from the status quo. The past few days had been a strain on everyone... it seemed that the Jedi Order always had to deal with bad situations in bunches, sometimes overwhelming them to the point of retreat. Unfortunately, that was exactly the case now... the Jedi had been forced from their home once again, the fate of many still in question after the devistating attack on the remote planet...

Figrin slumped into the pilot's chair of his ship, the Azure Starfire. After tapping a few controls, the nav computer showed the ships approach to his new destination. 'A few more seconds,' he thought to himself...

With a quick hand, the Jedi pulled back on the hyperspace toggle. The star steaks quickly reduced back to millions of singular dots as the ship slowed. Off to the port side, a large planet came streaking into view...

'Right about.... now.'

The Jedi fired the ships thrusters and banked slightly port, towards the orange covered world, then leveled off. Figrin dropped the engines back to 75%, then sat back in his chair. He had flown this route countless times and knew all the tricks... hold in hyperspace an extra moment, then drop out hard, flank port and catch the planet's gravity field. Then, use it like a sling shot to clear the planet quicker.

Figrin checked the count... about 2 minutes...

The Jedi reached towards a side panel and grabbed the data pad lying there. He loaded the files containing the history of the infamous place to which he was now headed. Quickly scanning over the document, he marked a few key points that he would look into later after he arrived. The construction of a new base would provide some opportunity for exploration, and Figrin wanted to have the latest knowledge at his disposal...

The count ticked down to under 10 seconds. Figrin grabbed the controls and, as the time ticked to zero, fired the thrusters up to 100%... coming into view in the distance, he could see his destination. The lush green jungles of __________ made the place a pleasent sight to behold from space. The surface was just as intriguing visually, yet just as the jungles often obscured many of the key locations, the whole of it was a shadowed bastion of past evil... evil that Figrin hoped they would not have to confront...

The ship's sensors scanned it, searching for life signs and starship power grids. The results printed out on the screen, and Figrin browsed them intently... a few humanoid lifesigns, a couple ships, one of them a YT-1300 Correllian...

'Hmm.. looks like Yog is here already.'

The signals originated from a large clearing not far from one of larger structures. Figrin turned back to the controls, switched off the auto pilot and guided his ship into the atmosphere. The white clouds whipped past his view, finally clearing as the Azure Starfire emerged into the lower atmosphere. The Jedi banked his ship starboard and slowed as he approached the clearing. With the landing gear engaged and locked, Figrin eased the landing jets back. The ship contacted the ground and stabilized. Figrin shut down the engines, threw on his cloak, grabbed his data pad and headed toward the already lowered ramp...

Emerging from the ship, Figrin shielded his eyes slightly as they adjusted to the bright sunlight. A small green figure stood near a taller human outside of the YT-1300 Correllian. The Jedi strode towards his two friends, ready to begin the next chapter in Jedi history...

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash wakes up with a start. Looking round, he sees he is in the cockpit of the Lambda class shuttle. He realises soon that he has fell asleep. He gets up, and smiles at the irony of the music coming out of the computer- I'm only sleeping.

Stepping out of the cockpit, he looks in a seperate room to see Leeloo lying on a bed, sleeping peacefully. With a cruel smile, Ash reaches to his side, and punches the alarm switch...


AWOOGA! AWOOGA!


Leeloo leaps up with a start, and looks round to see Ash laughing.


"Wakey wakey" he says
"Wha..?"
"Time to get up, we are here"

Ash walks into the cockpit, happy with his revenge for the nose, and sits down as the HS klaxon sound. Pulling the Hyperspace toggle, the lines turn back to stars...::

[Fewdman]

With a sudden burst of imagined motion, the YT 2400 White Rhino Tea dropped out of hyperspace.

A beep sounded.

Another beep sounded, follwed by a groan.

Yet another beep. "I GET THE IDEA CAD!"

Morgan Evanar groaned something about droids and their deficient audio sensors as he got up out of his seat. They were approaching _________ with a good deal of celerity. Soon, there was a hum of atmos engines. He approached the landing area, and he noted a few assorted starfighters and Yog's ship as he buzzed the feild, pulled up in a graceful loop and landed.

Fewd walked off the ramp and jumped for joy. "No muck! YAY!"

[Warren Azalin]

:: Silently Warren's ship came out of hyperspace, it had been only a few hours since he had left Dagobah and he was still getting used to all that had happened. He had gone back to the planet against all orders to get his ship and try to save his home, instead he was shot at and his house was blown up. This had already been a long day for the Jedi and he was looking forward to a new beginning and a new home, he watched in silence as his control panel started to blink. After pressing a few buttons he laid back in his seat letting the ship go on it's predestined course, he was getting a little more turbulence than he had expected entering the planets atmosphere but it was nothing he couldn't handle. As he got closer to the ground he saw a few ships appearing on his radar, guessing that he hadn't been the first one here and rushed to their location. As he neared the location he saw a couple ships and a few people outside talking, landing not to far away from everyone he stepped out of his ship and onto his new home. He looked around taking in the new scenery as he made his way over to the group of people, the first person he noticed among the group was Leeloo. He was glad she had made it out alive, he had feared her for dead when he hadn't found her before on Dagobah. He sighed as he thought of Dagobah but that was all in the past now and he was here to help rebuild, he walked closer to the Jedi now noticing Rebel and Master Yoghurt as he went. After walking up to them he turned around to speak ::

"It's good to see a few friendly faces, ever since I left Dagobah I've been fearing the worst for a couple people. Like Leeloo over here, I thought she was a dead but it's good to see I was wrong. Well since a few of us are hear already when do we begin construction ?"

[Liam Jinn]

:: The Nebulon drops out of hyperspace near _________ and Liam is awakened with an alarm from his computer::

Ah, figures...I cant get a peaceful rest anywhere anymore...

:: The Nebulon glides through space on autopilot as Liam walks out of the medical bay, almost as good as new but still has a few minor injuries. When The Nebulon hits the atmosphere of _________ and the turbulance sets in Liam walks through the halls of his ship and into the control room, looking out the viewport. A few minutes later his ship lands softly near Rebels ship, Storm Chaser.

The ramp decends and Liam slowly walks out of his ship letting the fresh air engulf him. It as now the time for rebuilding. So much had happened in the last moments Liam was on Dagobah. The escape pod which he was in was crushed moments after he crawled out of it. Damn his luck, ggetting shot out of the sky like that Liam thought. Ah well at least he got his ship.::

Hey people, when do we start dancing?

OOC: LOL! Nice editing Nup!! I like it..

[Nupraptor]

OOC - I was asked to edit Figrin's and Liam's posts, since they stated a location which was supposed to be kept secret. I had to do some more heavy editing to Figrin's, since he also mentioned key locations there. I tried my best to keep the integrity of the posts, but feel free to re-edit them yourselves and fix them up the way you'd like. I'm really sorry about this, but I was asked to do it at the behest of several GJO members.

~Edit - Add Fewd's post to the list.

[Jedi Rebel X]

::Rebel walks across the meadow and lays down some yards away from the others. He enjoys the slight breeze moving around as the nearby grass sways slightly. He concentrates, and dives deeply within the force. It calms him from the anxiety of the past events, and sets his mind at ease::

[Master Yoghurt]

The group of Jedi gathered around Yog. Fewd casually wielded his trout around..

Liam spoke first:

<font color=red>"Yo man, it is a bit quiet, dont you think?"</font>

Jedi Rebel X nodded and Warren looked at Yog with a questioning look at his face. Figrin raised an eyebrow as he analysed the situation in his mind.

They seemed a bit lost. No defenses. No building materials. And how could they do all this alone?

Yog sensed what Figrin was thinking

"Fear not. Help soon to come.. visit we will have. The Jedi.. and friends from NR"

<font color=cyan>RebelX: But what do we do now?</font>

"Come.. come and help. Heavy.."

All the Jedi joined in pulling the strange looking device out of the cargo hold of the Silver Falcon.

<font color=cyan>Rebel Jedi X: What is that?</font>

Figrin did not take long to figure it out.

<font color=yellow>Figrin: That would be a transponder beacon. It will allow the rest of Jedi to find our landing spot more easily.</font>

<font color=lime>Leeloo: Why not just use a standard homing beacon?</font>

"Less precise it is.. now, we wait.."

[AdmiralAckbar247]

With a flash, a squadron of C-wings exited hyperspace at jumpoint B. Then another squadron.. and another. Finally, the first transports appeared.


On the bridge of the MC-90 Hurricane, Darth Turbogeek monitored the taskforce, Jedi ships and cargo entering from hyperspace. The coordinates for the landing which were bradcasted by the transponder beacon on an encrypted channel had been plotted into the navigation computers.


<font color=cyan>"All transports, engage landing procedure at these coordinates. Fighters, patrol the perimeter of the system. Start deploying proximity mines"</font>



-----------

***A few minutes later.. at "Falcon's Nest". The group of Jedi gazed up as the clear blue sky was suddenly dotted with with transports, gliding into landing patterns***


The first personel transports lovered the landing platforms. Soon the area bustled with movements. NR personel as well as Jedi. NR Engineers scouted the areas for suitable building foundations spots. Crew were running around in hective activity.

Then the cargo transports opened their holds. Out emerged cargo droids and repulsor lift transporters moving crates and structures around in a symphony of mechanic movements.

Yog and the other Jedi observed the proceedings and gave orders for where equipment and personal belongings should be placed until further notice. The logistics progressed smooth and by the numbers.

Meanwhile, Atgar 1.4 FD P-Towers and CoMar G-003 Tri-Trackers were placed at high altitude steep terrain unaccessable by repulsor crafts or ST-walkers. Golan Arms Twin SP.9 Anti-Infantery Battery were placed at strategic spots. The first few Taim & Bak XX-9 heavy turbolasers and anti starfighter laser cannons were later pulled into place by gigantic repulsor lift systems.

700 meters away, there was a vast area with rocky and highly unacessable terrain. In the middle of this there was appeared to be a meteor crater, hidden by the vegetation. This is where the sections of the highly modified kuatt Drive Yards DSS-02 Shield Generator were to be assembled. The foundation structure fit perfectly into the deep of the crater. Further hidden by the rim of the surrounding forest, from ground level, the upper edge of the structure would only be visible at 75 meter or less from the edge of the crater. The actual projection arrays were positioned such, the walls of the crater obstructed clear line of fire at a 60 degree angle or lower from the horizon.

[Jace Darklighter]

A Jedi Padawan's worst fears had come to pass. Jace Darklighter sat upright in his chair, his blood-shot eyes wide and unbelieving. He had received an encrypted message from the GJO, which made his stomach turn. Not only had his attack on <a href=http://pub2.ezboard.com/fswvstitanicstarwarsroleplayingarchive.showMessage Range?topicID=3024.topic&start=21&stop=26>Bespin </a>been inutile, but he no longer had a home to return to. The Sith Empire had launched an attack against the Jedi and now Dagobah was lost.

A coiling muster of light encircled his crumpled X-Wing. Jace's hands drifted across his navigational controls as he prepared to leave the cognate world of light and emerge himself in the despondency reality, which lay ahead. The message had included coordinates for a new home. That home held new promises of peace and prosperity. A domain to begin anew and leave the suffering and ruin behind.

The Jedi's hand gripped the ship's lever to freedom. He eased it back and quickly saw the display of surrounding light vanish to distant plots of shimmering stars. Jace fixed his gaze on the planet below. He forced a smile.

The planet was beautiful, filled with greenery and oceans. His thoughts encompassed the future. The Jedi closed his eyes and reached out with his mind. The Corellian tried to vision what lay ahead but he received no such condolence. Placing his hands on the ship's control, once more, he throttled the ship forward into the planet's atmosphere. His navigational screen sought out any nearing ships or familiar identification marks. The ship beeped a categorical reply as he spotted a cluster of ships, identified from the GJO. He flew the X-Wing to a clearing and lowered it into place. A hiss erupted as the opening to the ship rose to allow passage for Jace. The Corellian removed his helmet and stepped out to greet his fellow Jedi.

A comfort was felt in seeing familiar faces. He sighed a relief that he didn't know he was holding. Direction was once again placed before him, as the Jedi Master's supervised and helped in construction. The forests around him were fresh with life. The Padawan was ready to begin and head into a future of uncertainty. Yet, somehow that future seemed bright filled with happiness.

[Master Yoghurt]

Several hours pass..

Yog and the rest of the Jedi helped the technicians and workers on unloading the cargo. After a few hours of work, the Jedi once again assembled. Fewd found another trout to casually twirl around in the air. It was starting to smell rather fishy..

Yog: Well, the defenses might not be much, but it is a start. No time to waste. Let us delegate some tasks..

Figrin, I want you to go explore those nearby ruins. Report if finding anything unusual.

Rebel, would you do a reconnassaince of the nearby jungle, make notes of the local plant life and the fauna.

Liam, please find me those blueprints for the constructions we could not find earlier. It is one of those cargo containers over there. Be carefull of not breaking those jars of frozen root stew...

Warren and Leeloo. I want you to look for possible spots for construction of a 500X500 meter building in the near vicinity. Make sure the ground is stabile and a good foundation.

Jace, find me some maps of this place.. they are found in that crate marked X-79 in the cargo hold of the Silver Falcon.

<font color=yellow>Figrin: What about you and..?</font>

Fewd and me will have a bowl of root stew to think of what to do..

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash steps out of the shuttle, shielding his eyes from the harsh sun. He walks towards a group of people talking. Seeing Leeloo, he calls out.

"Yo, dopey"

She looks round, a mixed look of humour and annoyance on her face. Ash pulls something out of his pocket, and throws it at her, which she catches.

"It's yours" Ash says
"What?"
"The shuttle. All yours"
"What you going to get back in?"
"That"

As he says it, Ash points upwards to an X-Wing landing

"My R2 droid is advanced. Piloting a ship is childs play. Few other gadgets too" He says, before heading off to the ship::

[JediBoricua]

:: Four sleepless days, 96 hours without rest. Boricua's eyes were as long as a giraffe's neck and as purple as an eggplant. The jedi master had been unable to sleep, guiltness filled his body and soul. The Temple Avalon destroyed, and Degobah gone. When the message had reached him he was stranded on an outpost in the brink of the galaxy, the last stop before the unknown regions. He was stuck with technical problems and he knew that if he had been able to reach the green planet on time the outcome of the battle would have been very different. He had design the planet defenses and had helped to build the fleet, he knew how everything worked and how to repell such an attack but he had never taken the time to explain anybody. Damn him and his lazyness, he thought. A valiant job did those who organized the evacuation with so little to work with. Boricua knew this thought was going to hunt him for the rest of his life, but none the less life goes on and so must the jedi, the jedi MUST GO ON!

With the message came in some coordinates. And four days later he was there, finnally. As the ship emerge from that other dimension called hyperspace, Boricua was lost in the beautiful sight in front of him. He had been there many times before, but this time he thought of the system as home and something just felt right. A tear escaped his eyelid, maybe this is some twisted plan of the force to make the jedi rethink and be reborn as the true fighters of light they once were. Maybe this is the beggining of a new golden age in jedi history.

Life had taught him that changes brought pain, but most of the time it was for the best, and this change was going to be for the best, not only of the jedi, but of the galaxy.

He shifted the vessel on autopilot and readied for landing. Once the spacecraft hit ground, Boricua emerged to meet the all to familiar figure of Yoghurt sipping on some of his stew ::

"Care to give and old friend a sip?"

[Kat Kariena]

Kat's ship came out of hyperspace near the beacon that had been put out. She sighed and turned on the com, "Have a seat guys, we're about to land."

Turning the com back off she started to prep her ship to land. The Kat's Escape started to slide through the atmosphere.

Landing the ship near the beacon Kat extended the exit ramp and sat in the piolit seat for a few minuits before she got up and walked out of the ship.

[Callista Riley]

Callista stood up once she noticed the ramp had been extended. She looked at Daniel before heading towards it. Her hand moved up to shade her eyes from the brightness of the sun. After she blinked a few times Callista moved down the ramp. She scanned the area quite taken by the landscape.

It wasn't extrodinary but it was beautiful nevertheless. There was a slight breeze and it felt good against her skin. It was refreshing to say the least. Off in the distance Callista could see some rocks that looked like temples or mountians of some sort. She wasn't sure which it was. Callista looked at Kat who seemed occupied with something turned to looked at Daniel, "Well? Are you going to just stand there and stare or are you going to come out and help the others?"

[Jedi Daniel Jade]

Daniel smiled at Callie as he walked down the ramp, "I'm coming." He stopped in front of her and grinned, "I was just admiring the view that's all."

He took a quick look around and turned to Kat, "So what do we do now? Need any help with anything?"

[Dragon dlayer]

*dragon exits kat's ship yawns then stretches*
the flight over so soon? *looks around and sighs* so this is it.. not a bad place my ship shoud be comeing soon *with that a mini battle cruser comes out of hyper space and lands by kat's ship* ahhh so the auto pilot did work. ok now who needs help?

[Liam Jinn]

::Liam nods as Yog gives the orders. A few minutes or so later, after searching through the cargo with the help of the force, he finds the blueprints.::

Yog, here you go. Now, I think I would like to help Figrin out...Those ruins intrest me, so what do you say Yog? Or do you need my help elsewhere?

[Jedi Rebel X]

Sure Yog.

::Rebel walked away from the meadow, and eventually reached the jungle. Sensing life all around, he ventured deeper into the jungle. The sounds of different creatures engulfed the area, and green vines and fauna were abundant. Taking out a datapad Rebel entered in information about the surroundings. Suddenly a strange looking bird snatched his datapad::

"HEY! That's not very nice."

::Using the force Rebel communicated to the bird. It soon came back and dropped the datapad into his hands, also landing on his shoulder. Rebel entered in the information about his newfound friend, and some other animals that appeared. He sat against a nearby tree and listened to the sounds of the jungle::

[Hart Kenobi]

"Leave hyperspace on my mark, captain."
"Yes Princess."
"Now."

::The streaks of white lines gradually turned into separate stars.::

*Hart Kenobi looks over Jedi Knight Leia Solo's shoulder.*
"There's the planet."
*Leia nods.* "Captain, open a transmission and tell them we wish to land at once."
"Yes Princess."

*pilot switches on comm.* "Rendezous, this is the transport ship Survivor."
*static* "Copy Survivor. Await identification verification................... Indentification approved. Welcome Princess, we didn't know whether you made it or not. We'll escort you to platform 27."
"Thank you officer."

* * *

::The Survivor lands and the hatches open as the two Jedi and the ship's other occupants exit.::.

*Hart turns to Leia.* "Need any medical attention?"
*Leia smiles* "No thanks. We should probably get out there to help build our new base."
"I'll see you later. I'll check us in at the command center. Some people were probably worried about us."

[obiwan2]

*Obiwan2's ship slowly decsends on the planet. He stands, stretching a bit from the long travel. The ship's hatch opens as the Jedi Master steps out onto the planet, looking around a bit*

Hmmm...definitely different from Dagobah.

*He slowly walks further from his ship, trying to find a few of his Jedi friends*

[Jedi Rebel X]

::Deciding it's time to go back to the base, Rebel gets up from the tree he was leaning against and walks away. His friend flies off towards some nearby trees as Rebel writes any further information down. He soon leaves the peaceful jungle to venture back to help the others. Some distance away, he can see ships arriving::

"Good, more people to help out."

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**As Hart departed to find the others. Leia continued to walk through the crowd trying to find a familiar face. Everyone was bustling about trying to regroup. Unfortunately...Leia was not quite sure where the new command center was. The Jedi Master was hoping to find either a familiar face in the crowd or an officer that might be able to direct her**

**Leia thought to herself**

Now where is a New Republic Command Officer when you need one! *sigh* Or for that matter...a fellow Jedi

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Leia hears a call behind her, and turns round to see a man in a flight suit saluting.

"Good to see you back Ma'am. You may not know me, Lt. Ash Longbaugh, New Republic. I believe there are some masters over in that direction. WOuld you like me to escort you?"::

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia smiled at the friendly Lieutenant**

"Thank you, Lt. Ash Longbaugh. I would greatly appreciate you escorting me to the others. Please do."

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash salutes again, and leads Leia to a group of people

[obiwan2]

*Obiwan2 looks up, seeing his beautiful fiancee moving towards the group of Masters he is in. As she gets closer, Obi smiles at her and winks*

So, this planet does have beauty on it, after all

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**As Leia first walks over and see's Obi amongst the group, a smile crosses her face and a *sigh* of relief could be heard. She was very happy to see her handsome fiance safe and here**

Obi, I am so glad to see you my love. Thanks for the kind words, sweetheart.

**Leia smiles then goes to give Obi a hug and then a gentle kiss**

I am so glad you are safe.

*turns to Ash*

Thank you for escorting me to my fiance and the rest of the Jedi.

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash nods, and turns round to look for any others to help::

[Hart Kenobi]

::Hart walks towards Ash.::
"Excuse me Officer........"
"Lt. Ash Longbaugh."
"Hello Ash. May I ask who is in command at the moment?"

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash looks at Hart.

"Unsure. Only seen these two of the hierarchy, I would speak to them"::

[Hart Kenobi]

"They arrived recently as have I. It is of no matter anyway. May I inquire where the Jedi are unloading their supplies?"
*Ash points* "Past those tree over there. Around the hill."
"Thank you Lt. Longbaugh. Good day." *Hart bows and turns to leave.*

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash looks at Hart

"Want me to try and find out?"::

[Hart Kenobi]

"Sure. Thank you."
::Begins walking with Ash towards the unloading area where the others were working.::

[Ash Longbaugh]

::As he walks, Ash turns to Hart.

"This is wierd. I don't recognise a person. Did all the Jedi get out?"::

[Hart Kenobi]

"I'm sure most of us did. There were only minor casualties within the Jedi. The fleet and soldiers protecting us, unfortunately suffered the most. But I see what you are talking about. Perhaps the masters are preoccupied with our relocation."

[Ash Longbaugh]

::"I hope so. We're screwed otherwise"::

[Figrin D an]

The sun was dipping lower into the sky as Figrin approached the last major structure. The last 5 hours had been somewhat tiring, but productive, as he had been able to map out a significant area. He even found some good spots to place turbolaser batteries for the new bases defense grid. The ruins themselves were well preserved, surprising considering their age. This particular site was small and remote enough that most previous vistors to the world likely have likely ignored it. That undoubtedly help the preservation process as well. The Jedi browsed the list on his data pad, and checked of the last few locations he had visited... only one more to go.

The stone steps of the last building stood before Figrin. The structure had survived the test of time quite well, the Jedi thought to himself. It was much smaller than some of the other structures, but it was best to leave nothing to chance. Knowledge would be the Jedi Order's best friend in this new home, and learning about those that lived here before would undoubtedly help them later on...

Figrin reached the top of the steps and carefully examined his surroundings. The steps of the structure led to a flat area covered by a massive sculptured roof, supported by circular stone pillars that were at least 15 meters high. Figrin estimated that pillars were close to 2 meters in diameter. They were spaced about 2.5 meters apart and covered the entire outer edge of the square platform. Located centrally on the platform was a circular wall, encapsulating a large area of the platform. Figrin approached the wall, walking completely around it, searching for any possible opening. The Jedi ran his hands along the surface of the stone, finding some small cracks in the stone that indicated the presence of a doorway. Yet, no means to open the door were evident. The structure appeared to have been undisturbed for an untold number of centuries. No marking or writing could be found anywhere on the structure... no evidence of what the purpose of the structure was used for.

Figrin feared that he might damage the structure if he used the Force to move the immense stone door, but his intuition told him that whatever was inside was important. Clearing his mind, the Jedi reached out with the Force and focused on the sealed door before him. The stone slowly began to shudder and shift...

'This door must must be weigh at least 5 tons!' the Jedi Master thought as he stuggled to lift the door with his mind. Concentrating even more, the Jedi focused his power into one quick burst and push the door inward, toppling it over in the process. Like a loud clap of thunder, the stone block smashed into the floor. The sturdy rock did not fracture, though, demonstrating the quality of the material used to create the structure.

Figrin entered the circular room and was amazed at what he saw. Lining the outer edge of the room were massive statues of warriors, each one unique. It appeared that different races were represented by each statue, most of them unfamilar to Figrin... only a few were recognizable to the Jedi, both races that had been long since extinct...

All except one...

On the wall furthest from the entrance was statue of a figure wearing a long flowing robe... and holding what was unmistakably a lightsabre. Being the most prominant figure in the room, it was clear that the structure was either a Jedi or a Sith monument... but the presence of the other statues confused the Jedi Master... what was their significance?

A small stone alter sat beneath the large looming statue of the cloaked figure. Figrin moved closer and examined the alter. It's smooth surface of the alter's top was covered in thick dust, which the Jedi gently brushed away to reveal several rows of carved script. Figrin recognized the script as writing form created by the early-era Jedi monks. The script had been passed down through the Jedi as a traditional form to be used to record important historical events... or to mark locations of great significance... unfortunately, the knowledge to translate the script was lost during the great Jedi Purge carried out by Emperor Palpatine, as the knowledge was passed on verbally through lineage of the Jedi scribes...

Figrin layed his hands on the alter and felt the top shift slightly. Upon closer inspection, the Jedi discovered that the top of the alter could be removed. Figrin adjusted his hands to get a good grip on the stone covering and slowly lifted... The cover was heavy, but managable without the use of the Force for assistance. He gently set the covering on the floor next to the alter and peered inside the opening. The opening was rather shallow, but deep enough to hold the two distinct cloth-covered items that Figrin could now see. The Jedi carefully unwrapped the objects... and discovered the unimaginable.

"By the Force..."

Figrin grabbed the comm unit from his belt and switched it on.

"Yog, this is Figrin, requesting a secure channel."

The small green Jedi responded within moments.

"Yes, Master Figrin, how goes your exploration?"

Figrin paused a few seconds before responding. "I'll be returning to the camp in about an hour... I have something to show you that you are not going to believe..."

[Callista Riley]

Callista looked around and began to wander off. She was the curious type that wanted to explore new places. The forested area held some interest for her, but she made it a point not to wander too far. A slight rustle in the bushes made Callista become fully alert. She felt something nearby and reached for her lightsaber.

I know it is a human, but whom I'm not too sure....but I must be careful. You never know what is around here.

[Jedi Daniel Jade]

Daniel stepped out of the brush and smiled at her.
"Surprised?" He looked at her, "I'm sorry...did I scare you love?" He looks at the saber in her hand.

[Jedi Rebel X]

::After a couple hours of backtracking through the jungle, Rebel finally made it back to a clearing. Still about an hour's trip from the other jedi, he began walking. As he was walking in an area of trees, he felt something strange. The leaves on the trees seemed to sway strangely. For some reason they just didn't look right. Nudging it off, Rebel continued his track towards the other jedi::

[Callista Riley]

Callista looked at Daniel and smiled slighty before she felt it again. She gestured for him to be quiet and closed her eyes as she began to try and feel what it was. There was too much interference and Callista didn't have enough training to completely tune it out. She sighed and looked at Daniel, "It wasn't you...it was something else."

She put her saber away and shrugged her shoulders, "I guess it was nothing."

[Jedi Daniel Jade]

Daniel smiled but didn't let it go. He began to probe the area with the force more as he took her hand. "Where were you off to?" He smiles at her.

[Kat Kariena]

Kat walked out of her ship and started to wander off into the forest looking for other Jedi. She knew she was in the right place, although there was a good chance she was on the wrong side of the planet.

"Someone please," she muttered reaching out with the force, trying to sence anyone who hadden't been on her ship for the past several weeks.

[Hart Kenobi]

::Hart, walking alongside Ash, suddenly stops in his tracks and closes his eyes, surprising the Lt.. Hart had heard something, hadn't he?::

"Someone please."

::There it was again. Someone was trying to reach out to the Jedi.::

*Hart concentrates and whispers.* "Hello, this is Hart Kenobi. Who is this?"
"It's Kat."
*Hart took a sigh of relief. "It's good to hear from you. What's the problem?"
"It appears I'm lost."
*Hart smiles* "I see. Can you center in on my location using the Force? Just follow it. You don't seem to be THAT far away."

[Jedi Rebel X]

::After wandering for about a half an hour Rebel sits against a tree. He pulls out a drink and replenishes himself, resting his head back. He closes his eyes for a second and drifts off into a sleep::

*Walking through the forest, Rebel had been trying to find where he was. He had been lost for about 4 hours now, and it was drawing dark. A sudden rustling behind him made him jerk, but nothing was there. As he started walking again fog rolled in, completely blanketing the area. Not being able to see anything, Rebel stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, something came up from behind him and.....*

"AHH!"

::Rebel jolted from a deep sleep. He wiped off sweat from his forehead and got up. The dream had been so real, too real for his liking. Dreams should be the least of my worries, Rebel thought. He started walking towards the jedi base, as a ray of sunlight breached the tree canopy::

[Kat Kariena]

Kat smirked, "Verrry funny Hart."

She concentrated on Hart's presence, working her way through the woods untill she came apon him.

"Finally," she sighed as she exited the brush. "Out of my ship and among other people."

[Callista Riley]

Callista looked at Daniel, "You know me always wandering around." She smiled a bit and began to walk towards the direction she felt a pull towards. In her mind she really couldn't shake what she felt back there. It wasn't natural to her.

Whatever that was it not a very pleasant thing. I just hope the others feel it too and I'm not crazy

She looked up at through the canopy and sighed before looking ahead again. Callista noticed Kat and quickly made her way to her. She looked back at Daniel, "Come on slow poke."

[Rebel Trooper]

::Garrisons of New Republic Ground Troop arrive to help the Jedi construct their new base.::

[Dragon dlayer]

*dragon took out his pistol and started to look around he never was on this planet before and dident know what to expect on here yet he glanced around then it he slowly followed kat*

[Jedi Daniel Jade]

Daniel smiled and followed her, "Slow poke?" he grinned and began took her hand. "I would race you, but I rather have a quiet walk with you."

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash sees the NR move into position, and laughs

"Those foot sloggers always come late"

Ash then looks at Hart, and sees him concentrating. He goes to knock him, but decides not to, in case it is something important::

[obiwan2]

*Holding Leia in his arms, Obi smiles as he gazes into her beautiful eyes*

Everything's going to be just fine.

For now, I believe we need to see what we can do to help rebuild here. There is much to do.

[Jace Darklighter]

Jace acknowledged Master Yoghurt's request with a single nod. Once direction was given to each Jedi, they separated to their various assignments. He made his way to the Silver Falcon, walking up its ramp way as his lightsaber swayed from his waist, knocking gently against his thigh. The Jedi scanned the area of the ship, clearing his visual perception for a distinct designated number - a crate marked X-79.

His hand lifted, causing crates to move away, allowing him to see farther within the cargo area. It reminded him when Master Boricua first instructed him how to use the Force to lift such objects as these. Back then, it had been a difficult task, but now it was as simple as brushing aside a fly.

Such thoughts and memories left once he spotted the specific crate in which he sought. A smile of triumph leapt across his lips as he tugged and pulled the crate to his position, by way of the Force. It fell into his arms easily enough. He turned sharply on his boot and made his way back to Master Yoghurt. The maps would provide helpful to the terrain of their newest home.

[Kat Kariena]

Kat sighed and looked at Ash, "Where is everyone else?"

[Hart Kenobi]

*Sees Kat.*
*smiles.* "Ah, I see you've made it. Ash and I are making our way to the meeting site right now where most of the others are unloading or seeking medical treatment. The construction of the base should be underway soon. We're awaiting the exact plans."

[Kat Kariena]

Kat motioned in the direction that Hart seemed to be heading, "Lead the way."

[Jedi Knight Katarn]

Communications Channel Open

This is Kyle Katarn to Base control Requesting Permission to land, Please Advise Master Solo that I have a "package" for her.

Kyle sits and awaits a response from Base Control

Kyle orders the duty officer to stay with the ship and to take her into hiding while he and his guest joins the others on the planets surface.

Kyle and his companion fly down to the planet in a shuttle and Kyle gently Lands her in a quiet area.

Kyle opens the hatch and the platform lowers onto the soft ground, as he steps out he sees lots of hustle and bustle, Kyle turns and yells back into the ship. "Hey!, You comming or you gonna stay in there all day?"

a robed figure steps out into the light, his hood covering his face, as he walks down the gangplank all that can be seen under the robe is a silver handled lightsaber tapping against his leg as he walks.

The figure reaches the planets suface with Kyle following after, Kyle turns and touches a remote, the ship seals itself.

The man looks around but does not seem to see what he is looking for, he closes his eyes and sends out a force message to a certain Jedi Master. There were only 3 words sent in the message

[JediMaster Skywalker]

<font size=.5 color=ALICEBLUEK> LEIA...HEAR...ME..</FONT>

[Jedi Rebel X]

::Finally making it back to the base, Rebel presents his findings and waits to receive new orders::

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

Leia smiled at Obi and took his hand, while looking into his eyes

Yes, you are right Obi. Things are going to be just fine. I think maybe we should talk to Lt. Longbaugh over there once more. Seems he is escorting some of our friends right now. Apparently, Kat and Hart are with him.

Obi: So I see. Leia, lets go and see if he can direct us to the Command Center.

Leia: That's a good idea Obi. Let's...

But before Leia could say another word...she fell silent. A serious look crossed over Leia's face. Obi looked at Leia slightly puzzled.

Obi: What is it Leia?!

Leia: Obi..It's Luke. He's here!

Obi: He is?!

Leia: Yes. I think we should go and send a trooper to escort him to the command center. This way, Luke can meet up with us.

Obi nodded in agreement. The two Jedi Masters went off to find a rebel trooper and gave him the orders. The rebel trooper quickly ran off with their instructions. Leia and Obi proceeded to meet up with Lt. Longbaugh. Ash quickly escorted all four jedi to the new command center

Leia: Thank you once again, Lt.

Ash: **saluted** Just doing my duty, maam!

Quite a bit of commotion was going on in the command center. Everyone was quickly making sure all systems were up and operational. As the Jedi scanned the room, Leia's eyes fell on a small green cloaked figured. Slowly, the figure turned around to notice he was being looked upon.

<font color=green>Master Yoghurt, you seek?! Hmmmm....
Found him, you did!</font>

The group of Jedi smiled at their Master's words

Leia: It is so good to see you again, Master Yoghurt.

Yoghurt: Indeed. Good to see you.
Much to do here..now!

**Yoghurt pulled out some plans and showed them to the Jedi. Leia looked on and nodded**

Leia: So I see. I will go ahead and give the initial orders. The rest of the orders should be given out to the other Jedi to administer.

**Leia quickly got on a commlink and spoke to a commanding officer of the Garrisons**

Leia: Commander, I need you to give out the following commands to your troops immediately.

Commanding Officer: Yes maam! I will. Tell me the orders and they will be carried out at once.

Leia: Very well. We need the Garrisons setting up a tow cable network as a trip wire system against AT-AT Walkers. Have them install the system at once! We will also need a team to dig some trenches, another group to strategically place gun turrets, turbolasers and ion cannons. Also..I would like you to have yet another team to set up a mine field immediately. The sooner we have our defenses up and running the better.

Commanding Officer: Yes maam! Consider it done! We are right on it! Over and Out!

With that the Commanding Officer called to several New Republic Troopers and broke them up into teams. The teams immediately went to work and proceeded to carry out the orders. This first phase of the planet/base defenses were shortly completed and operational.

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash, deciding that the ground forces wouldn't like a fly boy helping out that much, decides to stay in the command centre::

[Jedi Rebel X]

::Having talked to the others for awhile Rebel takes a group of NR troopers out around the base area. He gets them started on setting up natural traps, using the wilderness to aid them. They set up trenches, holes, and other natural obstacles. After helping them do this Rebel instructs them to install sensors around that can track movements. They place them everywhere around the base, on trees, underground, and on other things::

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren nodded to Yog and the others as he and Leeloo left the group to find a suitable place to begin construction, after a few minutes of walking through the nearby wilderness they came upon the first clearing since they left the group. Warren looked upon the clearing taking in all his new surroundings, for him this was his new home now and he had to make sure not to choose a bad place for construction. He noticed soon enough that his mind was getting away from the reason he was here, he looked around and noticed Leeloo already checking the area for stability. Slowly he stood closing his eyes and letting the force flow freely into him, using the force he scanned the area for any danger making sure that if this spot was to be chosen he wouldn't be getting the Jedi into trouble by choosing a dangerous area. Warren let out a sigh of relief as he sensed no danger around him, knowing that the area was ok he walked over to Leeloo to see if this area was stable enough for a building ::

Warren: "So Leeloo, is this area stable enough ?"

Leeloo: "Seems to be."

Warren: "Alright lets go tell the others, bet you want to get back to Liam quickly anyway huh."

Leeloo: "Yeah.....I do."

:: Warren tried not to laugh as he saw Leeloo blush at the mention of Liam's name, he was happy for them but thinking of those two brought Warren's mind to thoughts of his wife Saphire an how much he missed her. Warren really had to keep his mind on the situation at hand he thought as him and Leeloo started walking back to the others. As they entered the forest Warren suddenly sensed an odd presence in the force from behind him, he couldn't tell if the presence was Light, Dark, or if it still even existed there, but he didn't want to take any chances."

Warren: "Leeloo I'm going to check out that presence you can either come with me or you can go back to the others it's your choice."

:: Warren walked to the area were he felt the presence strongest and checked the ground, as he had suspected the ground was weaker in this small area than in the rest. Slowly he used the force to enhance his strength as he reached for one of his sabers, in one swift motion he slammed the saber hilt into the ground causing the floor to cave in under the force. Warren stood up and looked at the hole, looking into it he could see what seemed to be the remains of an old temple. Slowly Warren lowered himself into the hole to do some exploring, he ignited his saber as a way to see in the darkness. Before going in any farther he wondered what Leeloo was going to do and if she would be ok alone ::

[Leeloo Mina]

::Leeloo looked off in to the forests.. she really wasnt sure how to get back so she decided to follow Warren::
Hey Warren, wait up!
::She didnt see warren but she seen a small hole in the ground that looks like it was freshly made. She hoped she could find Warren down here it would be horrid to get lost underground. She slid into the hole and started looking around she seen the faint glit of a saber ahead of her and she knew it had to be Warren she called after him and walked quickly over to the jedi:: Heh I decided to come along now as long as you dont get us lost.. I'll be fine ::Warren laughed then continued on toward what looked like some old ruins:: Whoa... whats that..?

Edit: Removed Sig.

[Hart Kenobi]

::Hart Kenobi glided to a wooden stump to review the plans for Avalon. He produced the roll of paper that Master Yoghurt approved of out of his robe and spread it out. Inside, were the blueprints of the majestic future-home of the Jedi in great detail. On the blueprint was a diagram of a mystical-looking pyramid structure via it's top view, side view, and the plans for each level.

Hart began scanning the forest area. Hart lifted his head in curiousity. Something felt strange around him, as if urging him to turn towards it and enter. He stepped towards the flirting urge and brushed aside some heavy vegetation. Behind the brush, well hidden, was a stretch of a tropical-like land around 100*100 that was more beautiful than he ever imagined anything could be. He called to the NR Commander.::

"Clear that area out over there. Check to see if the grounds stable. It looks like a good place set up camp and construct. It's partially hidden by the vegetation and flat enough to build upon."

[JediKnight Skywalker]

Luke stood at the landing site waiting for a sign from his sister. Luke removed his hood, so he could get a better look around.

Luke turned to Kyle "Come on, lets go have a look around"

The Two Jedi marched off towards the working zone, Luke watched as many people were running along, he noticed as several N.R. Personnel were setting up defensive equipment for the new base.

Luke notices a NR Trooper coming towards him. "Sir, Master Solo is very busy at the moment but asked me to escort you to the command center, if you would follow me", the trooper lead the way to the command center. as the trio started out Luke turned to Kyle, he whispered some orders to Kyle and Kyle gave a affirmative nod and headed off in a different direction..leaving only Luke and the trooper.

While on the hike to the command center, Luke asked the trooper about the attack, Luke listened intently to every detail that the trooper was able to tell him.

<font color =red>Trooper: and then when I found I couldn't do anything else for my wife, I knew I had to leave her there to die, as their were others that I could save,</font> the trooper continued
as they approached the command center the trooper finished his tale and received a communications.

the trooper listened and then acknowledged the communication.

<font color=red>Trooper: Sir, I must attend to other duties, if you go through that assortment of crates on the other side you will find the entrance to the command center, Just tell the guard to let you in.</font>

<font color=Purple>LUke: thank you, and thanks for the information.</font>

Luke makes his way to the entrance, the guard notices him about to enter and stops him.

<font color=green>Guard: Halt!, Sir this area is for authorized personnel only, you should return to your duties</font>

<font color=purple>Luke: I need to see Leia Solo right away.</font>

<font color=green>Guard: [i] I am sorry sir, but i cannot let you pass with out the proper authorization.</font>
<font color=white>
Luke asks the guard to contact command center and tell Leia that someone is here to see her.</font>

<font color=green>Guard: [i]Entrance security to command center, I have an um..gentleman here who insists on seeing Master Solo.</font>

[Callista Riley]

Callista stopped and listened. She let the force flow through her as she scanned the area. She had felt something similar earlier and this time it was a bit different. Her eyebrow raised slightly and she felt it coming from the east.

Hmmmm something else is here. It's similar to that feeling I got in a cave not too long ago. I wonder if this place is connected somehow....it's just too....evil

She noticed some of the others looking at her a bit strange. Callista just smiled slightly and stared off.

I can't be the only one....can I? I mean someone else must be sensing this. Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

[Jedi Rebel X]

::The troopers, finishing one area's natural defenses and sensors, move on to another. Rebel looks on towards the trees and nearby landscape, communicating with the force::

[JediBoricua]

:: The jedi Master sat next to his long time green friend. He asked to see the plans and the blueprints of what was going to be their new temple. The impressive structure will take time to construct, but the magnificent result will be worth the time. Next Boricua asked to be briefed on the current status of planetary defenses, both in space and in the surface. Frankly he was impressed, it seems that the attack on Degobah had been thoroughly analyzed and all weaknesses detected. Next time TSE wont have such an easy time, nor would any other attacker. Pondering a bit more on defenses JB suggested additional measures ::

"May I suggest some additional measures. The proximity mine field orbiting space proved good in Degobah, I sugges we use it in __________ also. You know the basics, but this time instead of having one secure path to navigate through the field, let's have multiple path, that change every day or so. Only authorized ships will be given coordinates of the current bomb-free ally so they can enter the atmosphere.

I also once heard Figrin talking about the possibilities of a dual planetary shield, that is something we must look into that as a possibility.

It would be a great asset if we get a technical topografical scan from an orbiting ship to determine key locations on the planet surface to placen air to space weapons.

Just give the orders Yoghurt"

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

BACK AT THE NEW COMMAND CENTER

**After giving the defense orders out, Leia walked off to a control panel to put her commlink down...when...

<font color=green>Guard: Entrance security to command center, I have an um..gentleman here who insists on seeing Master Solo</font>

Leia: Why is my brother being held up at bay, guard? When I gave explicit orders for him to be let into the command center! Can you please answer me, why?

<font color=green>Guard: I am sorry Master Solo. But I am the relief guard. I was not instructed to let him in. My sincere apologies he will have access immediately. Over!</font>

Leia: Very well. Please do so immediately. Thank you.

**Leia placed down the commlink and awaited for Luke to join the Jedi in the Command Center**

[JediMaster Skywalker]

Luke rushes to the entrance to the command center.

he stops before reaching the door and takes a breath, then enters.

Luke see's Leia and starts to cross towards her

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia seeing her brother runs over to him quickly. She had not seen him for awhile. Recent <a href=http://pub2.ezboard.com/fswvstitanicfrm13.showMessage?topicID=96.topic>prior events,</a> had led Leia and the Jedi to believe Luke was dead**

LUKE!!!!

**Leia quickly threw her arms around her brother**

So good to see you. I thought you were dead. Thank the force you made it back to us alive.

How are you dear brother?!

[Hart Kenobi]

::Hart lookes up from his plans and senses a troubled presence nearby. He scans the area but his gaze comes to a rest at Callista Riley.::
"What's wrong?"

[obiwan2]

*Obiwan smiles as Leia embraces her brother*

Welcome back, Luke. Glad to have you return to us!

*Obiwan nods as he turns back around, trying to help out wherever possible*

[JediBoricua]

:: Yoghurt heard all of the jedi's different suggestions and ideas, most were approved and were ordered inmedialtly. Two hours later dozens of small ships exited the hangars of the capital ships orbiting the planet. Their task was to lay the proximity minds, a task much easier and faster than that of setting the first planetary shield. Each vessel calculated it's orbit around the planet as small spiked globes were expelled from half a dozens tubes on each side of the ships. Back on the surface in the command center a monitor showed were each mine was set each represented by a yellow dot. It was agreed that the mine setup will be changed every 5 days.

Also on the surface of the planet sensor detectors were installed in trees, mountaing tops, and on small satellites around the planet. This will help the detection of any cloaked ship and unidentified activity.

At ground level hazzards were set to make an invasion very difficult. Iron cables were installed to make Imperial Walkers useless for they will trip and fall on an attemp to reach the new base. This added to the natural hazzards of the surface would obstruct and delay and invading army. ::

[Callista Riley]

Callista looked at Hart and then to the burrow, "I had a similar feeling back at the academy....but this" She narrowed her eyes at the burrow, "It's more intense"

She took a deep breath and walked towards the burrow with curiosity. Callista wondered what she would find there. Most likely things she did in that past that would come back to haunt her or people that had caused her pain throughout her life.

[Kat Kariena]

Kat watched scilently as her apprentice entered the dark area. She knew she could do nothing for her except stand here and wait while she went though this test.

[Callista Riley]

Callista walked into the burrow and felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. The dark side was very present. She opened herself to the force and tried to control her fears.

[JediMaster Skywalker]

Luke gives his sister a big hug, then turns to Obi.

Thanks Obi- It's good to be back.

Luke turns back to Leia.

I am fine sis, I still do not know exactly who abducted me and for what. I can only imagine that it was some remnant of the empire.

I heard about Dagobah, I am glad to see alot of the people got out.

so...whats our current status

[Jedi Knight Leia Solo]

**Leia looked somewhat puzzled about Luke's news of his abduction, but figured she would discuss this with him later, at a better time.**

Yes..thank the force we had very little tragedies back at Dagobah. Our current status is many of the Jedi have been assigning orders to our forces and following through with them for our defense systems and the progression of the construction of our new temple. Much work has to be done here. When you are ready Luke, you may want to look over some of these plans here.

I realized you just got back from a traumatic situation. Take your time please.

**Leia smiled at her brother**

My dear brother, I do have much to talk to you about, when we get a chance.

**Leia quickly glanced over at Obi and gave him a smile. Obi returned the smile back at Leia and nodded**

We have lost a great deal of time. I want to hear about your ordeal and I have a few things I would like to discuss with you too. But, for now, it is not a good time. We must continue with setting up our new home.

[Hart Kenobi]

::Hart stood thoughtfully as he watch Callista enter into the darkness. He nodded towards Kat, knowing this was an important event in her padawan's life as a Jedi.::

*He turned to face the site of Avalon. He motioned a NR architect and commanding officer to approach.*

"Shields up, General?"
"Yes, Jedi Knight."
"Thank you General. We should start the placement of the ion cannons."
"How many do you think you need?"
"At least four. One will face north, one south, one east, and obviously one west. The south, east and west cannons will be located near the base of the temple, but hold off the northern cannon until the temple is constructed. We want it on the top of the pyramid."
"Yes, Jedi Knight. Anything else?"........

[JediBoricua]

Half of the new building completed sir.

[Warren Azalin]

:: Warren walked deeper into the darkness of the tunnel as Leeloo followed closely behind him, it had seemed like they had been walking for hours now. The Jedi walked along the dank tunnel letting only the force guide him to the mysterious presence he felt, after a few more minutes of walking he saw as Leeloo pointed out the ruins ahead. Fearing for the padawans safety he unclipped his second saber from his belt and handed it to her, as she gave him a confused look he explained to her ::

"Leeloo I want you to go back to the others and tell them were I am, since we had an important job they must be wondering where we went. Now I am giving you my saber so you can find your way back to the surface, ok. Remember tell them not to worry I'll be back soon."

:: Warren watched as she ignited the saber and began heading back to the surface, knowing that she was out of the way of any danger he turned his attention back to the ruins she pointed at before and began walking towards them. Slowly he walked through the hole that the ligh had been coming from, Warren let his eye's adjust to the light slowly as he walked in. Warren stared at the massive underground city in amazement, he was in shock as he realized where he was and what he had just found. He remembered this place mentioned in a book a long time ago that he had read while trying to figure out his past, he began walking around aimlessly not knowing were to begin his search ::

:: Soon after awhile of searching the Jedi came upon a large tube that seemed to go to the surface, he walked towards it slowly and noticed the doors of the tube open up for him. Not knowing what else to do he walked into the tube and held on to the small rails on it, suddenly without warning the tube raced towards the surface, the Jedi looked at the luminescent rocks along side the tube as he took the ride up a couple miles to the surface. Slowly the ride came to a stop as he reached the top, getting out of the tube he walked out back into the forest and exited past a small wall, turning around to look what he had just come out of he stared at the seven foot circular marble wall surounding the tube. He took out a small piece of paper as he began to walk away, he would mark the location of this place so he could come back later with the expedition team ::

[Ash Longbaugh]

::Ash sits in the cockpit of his X-Wing, and presses a button. Every few seconds or so, a small ball drops out of one of the launchers, and floats in space. After a while, Ash hears the comm-link come to life

"OK, all sensors deployed. Back to base"

Ash smiled. Undetecable by anone, they only came alive when needed, telling those who needed the info. Overall, a nasty suprise::

[Callista Riley]

Callista stood in the dark and feel a cold chill run down her spine. It wasn't very pleasant. She had been in many uncomfortable situations before, but this was different. none of her training would ever prepare her for this.
