Forming Bonds within a New Order

[Rev]

Aÿisha had finally arrived on Sriluur, the location of the mighty Imperial class Star Destroyer known as the Sith's Folly. On board she knelt at the center of a sparring room; docile, but aware of her surroundings. Chills shot up her spine as reverberations of past Force-Users filled the dormant room. It was at that instant she felt most at peace; but her true goal sat in the back of her mind. She had to reach the Jedi, but to get there she had to first go through the Imperial Knights.. She would start by befriending one of the first members she had come across; Knight. Waiting in meditation the former Jedi Knight reached outward to the Force Sensitive; hoping she would hear her own call.

"Knight.. Would you meet with me?"

 

[Syn]

Knight heard Remy and she moved from the bay with the hardsuits. She was working with a few techs for upgrades to the suit. Slowly she moved and came to the room as she looked at the former jedi turned sith turned prospect and spoke. "You called? If everything okay?" Knight stood in her armor and had her standard stuff the lightsaber and pistols but she had several of her blades on her belt in the compartments. THe simplicity of the weapons allowed her to carry a large number cause they were lightweight and designed for stealth.

 

[Rev]

Upon not only sensing Knight, but hearing her, Remy would rise to her feet and turn on her heels. The result would have them facing each other once Knight entered. As she did so, Aÿisha would offer her best at a welcoming smile.

"I-I'm.. sorry, didn't mean to alarm you.. Everything is, fine."

She again tried to offer that warm smile she had once carried as a Jedi. Though her subject matter quickly changed; trying to get back on point.

"I."

She truly wasn't too sure where to start; but the idea she had formulated within herself would shine through.. At least she hoped.

"I dont know how to put this; but.. I don't exactly.."

She fought to find the words then decided to be blunt would be best for such circumstances.

"Fit in too much here.. Not many trust me. I was curious if you would... perhaps hang out? Show me what it is the Imperial Knights do.. In return I could show you how to use a blade better.. or whatever else you wish!?"

 

[Syn]

Knight looked at Remy and gave a nod as she spoke. "I can, and do not worry about the others they will come to trust you. It is like a family to which I am not accustomed either. I would gladly learn with you more force techniques while we hang out."

 

[Rev]

She smiled; happy to see the welcoming attitude of Knight. It was a part of someone even Aÿisha never could understand. Some simply had it, while others did not. She was sadly in the ladder portion and was glad to see the stranger embrace her with welcomed arms.

"I've only just arrived here.. I fear I do not know my way around it quite well.. Would you care to show me around this place? Perhaps take me to the important areas?"

Her stomach ached for some food, but she could hold off on it. Perhaps it would be best to save that for before sparring, but any time for a meal worked within her mind.

 

[Syn]

Knight looked at Remy and apoke. "I could show you around yes." Knight moved as she motioned for Remy to follow and spoke. "The main hangers and cargo bays have been converted into training rooms. The mess hall is down the hall. All sensitive material has been moved to Commander Rouges personal ship. The rest of us have our personal ships and transports that take us to other bases and offworld. Everyhting is layered to keep us safe and our fleet is always on the move. Here is the tech lab where we have the Mark I Hardsuits and our armory."

 

[Rev]

As they walked through the what seemed like limitless ship, Aÿisha couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. It was a lot of information to take it and processing it all is what would be the hardest part. Hearing about the training halls didn't effect her much, it was the mention of the mess hall that drew her attention at long last.

"Shall we grab something to eat then.. Feels like it's been ages since I've ate.."

It was at Knight's direction that they'd find their way to the cafeteria where a quick meal would be prepared. The food that was displayed out before the former Marauder was more than appealing, and the smell only made her stomach long for more. Taking her seat she awaited Knight to do the same before speaking.

"Are we required to wear armor? I feel much more agile in what I wear now.."

She looked down at her rather dark robes, the white had dulled to a grey. They were rather tattered and beyond any easy repair. Smirking at the thought of what she had just said she had almost expected the answer to be for her to change. Then another idea found its way into her mind.

"Sensitive materials? I didn't think the Imperial Knights had so much to hide.."

She laughed as she plopped some food into her mouth, getting rather anxious to use her lightsaber.

 

[Syn]

Knight gave a grin she was hungry as well and as they entered the mess hall to get some food she sat down with Remy and spoke about the armor. "Normally yes we all wear armor, but not everyone has a full suit. I am possibly the only one who has extra armor because of my size. We allow you to wear whatever you want now unless it is a formal occasion." Knight took a bite of her food and grinned. "We have very few things to hide but the names of people in the Empire who are still loyal to the true Emperor must be protected. You can understand that if it got out many more people would die for nothing."

 

[Rev]

She nodded at the explanation for the armor. It did make sense in what she said and only hoped there wouldn't be a reason for needing armor. Finishing up some of the meal in front of her she slid it aside; finding her fill.

"Yes, it would only make sense to hide such things."

Reaching into her cloaks pocket she pulled out her lightsaber. Looking over the metallic object she adjusted the power level on the tool to make it far less deadly. At the very worst it would shock the victim.

"..so what is it you specialize in, Knight?"

 

[Syn]

Knight had to give a grin as she spoke. "I specialize in piloting and using the hardsuits to fight. Nothing better then the wind in your hair which is why we can use the swoop curcuit for moving around. What do you specialize in Ayisha?""

 

[Rev]

She'd always been interested in becoming a better pilot; but never thought she had the skills to become one of the "greats." Smiling at Knight at the thought of her flying into battle gave the former Jedi some chills and memories.

"Lightsaber combat.. Some Force techniques; but mainly I specialize in the blade."

She looked at her lightsaber for a long moment before sliding it back into her pocket.

"Perhaps you will see my skill with it some day."

 

[Syn]

"Perhaps I will, now I do hope you are ready. I think seeing your skill with the force will help. We do not know much but the commander has been working to help you out." Knight stood and went to a room as she stood there and rolled her shoulders with a grin. "So how would you train one of your students?"

 

[Rev]

She smiled at Knight and thought back to some of her Padawans. Trying her best to remember what it was to train them the words would simply flow from her mouth.

"I would speak to them.. learn who they were; what they were good at.. What they were bad at.."

She laughed at the thoughts of some memories that filled her mind. It was almost weird how well all of it was coming together; how out of place some feelings felt while others held true to their nature. It was Knight's blank stare that would snap her back to reality.

"I show them what the Force was.. open up the possibilities to them; then it was on them to wish to learn more.. To show they could learn more."

She closed her thoughts with a smile before leaning against the wall; her stomach grumbling out with some ache. Part of her was wondering if the food she ate was settling well.

 

[Syn]

Knight looked at Remy and gave a nod. "That is a good way to teach. See how far they want to go. Your a lot more relaxed at least then when I first met you, glad to see you have found some measure of peace."

 

[Rev]

She nodded. Wondering what it was that gave her the peace of mind; she still had dark urges within her mind.. But they were far more under control than they had ever been since arriving on the Sith's Folly.

"It is perhaps this place.. It is peaceful.."

Her stomach still rumbled with a grumpiness that caused her to hold it.

"Are the Imperial Knights close with the Jedi..? I wish I could speak with one of my Padawans.. she'd know more about them then I would now.."

 

[Syn]

"Relations witht he jedi are complicated we offer a hand they slap it away. Might not help as much now that several have left the order and joined us. Under a Master Matsu I believe. One was exiled and she left and they all followed."

 

[Rev]

The mention of a former Padawans name brought some alertness to the former Knight. She thought about her time training Matsu and wondered if her being gone had anything to do with this sect from the Order. She was perhaps right to leave the Jedi; but that depended on her reasons.

"I know that Jedi you speak of.. I trained her."

She paused to think about divulging such information before continuing.

"Do you know why she left? The reasoning for the division?"

Remy would come off the wall to take a step towards Knight, wondering just how much info the woman knew.

"I think I may have to return to the Jedi sooner then I thought.."

 

[Syn]

"She left the order when they exiled her padawan. As we understand it padawan Lamia Kressh was fearful for her life in a sparring duel with an overzelous knight and used electric judgement to get him away. He reported she used the darkside to stop his antics and she was exiled by the grandmaster. Matsu heard this and left the order and others followed."

 

[Rev]

Aÿisha couldn't quite believe it; the Order was acting in such odd ways. It was leaving that brought the truth to her eyes; and it was something that angered her. An anger that swelled over her other emotions before being cast aside by what Aÿisha deemed as "control."

"Do you know where they are?"

Her stomach grumbled again as a surge of pain shot through her torso. Dropping to her knee some she felt sick. As if a severe cramp had formed within her gut; only surging with pain.

"I-I'm afraid I dont feel so well.."

She laughed some holding her stomach while curled over; the pain subsiding some. It was a common case of a stomach ache; only the pain seemed to be about double what it would normally be.

"..you wouldn't have a way for me to contact the Jedi.. would you?"

 

[Syn]

Knight moved to get by Remy's side and spoke offering her arm and shoulder. "From here only the commander can contact the jedi but you can't go and see them sick come on we'll get you to medical and I'll see if we can get ahold of Matsu for you." Knight looked at Remy and motioned for her to come on while she would help get her to medical. "Oour food isn't that bad you know?"
