This thread is for Kor-Sha-Di (Nephill Killer) and myself. If you would like to do a mission, please PM me and we'll work something out.

Settled into the pilot's seat of one of the Order's Class 720 Freighters, sat Jedi Weapon Master Juno Armstrong, gingerly piloting the vessel through hyperspace. Having been assigned a myriad of missions back-to-back, in addition to all her classes and having been assigned a troubled Padawan to alleviate the strain upon a Councillor, Juno couldn't recall the last day she'd been able to properly sit and meditate. Even whilst sitting in the pilot's chair aboard this unnamed 720 freighter, Juno found herself meditating for moments at a time, giving herself the clarity that was needed in front of her. While she possessed the skill to fall into a deeper, more insightful meditation, she simply did not have the time.
A friend of hers, Asalla Laoni, another Knight within the Order had recently been appointed to a mission which required her to go on alone. In lieu of leaving her Padawan, Kor-Sha-Di, alone and unmotivated, Asalla asked Juno if she were able to take her place on another mission, taking the reptilian Padawan along with her. Naturally, Juno would not refuse.
The mission itself, was remarkably simple; take a freighter from Coruscant, fly it to Bespin, collect some resources and supplies, and deliver them to Ison, along the Corellian Trade Spine. A mission, which was destined to fail...

Having collected their goods from Bespin, currently in hyperspace, Juno and Kor-Sha-Di had exchanged greetings and introductions much earlier in their flight. Juno had instructed Kor to refer to one another using their first names, and they shared idle gossip that floated around the four various Jedi Temples. Once they had left Bespin, Juno instructed the Tiss'shar to return to one of the sleeping quarters and collect some sleep, as there was little to do in the cockpit but be rendered into a vegetative state with boredom.
Several hours on, Juno finally managed to find the time to fall into a decent state of meditation.
It was abruptly halted by the sound of an alarm and light flashing upon the consoles that lined the cockpit. The Jedi Weapon Master's eyes darted open and honed in upon the alarm. Sighing with exasperation Juno swore as she calmly, yet with lightning efficiency, clasped the flight harness over her body. Forcefully kicking some panels and switches, Juno then reached for a ship-wide PA broadcaster and shouted into it, "Kor! Get up here, now!"
Upon the Padawan's arrival to the cockpit, Juno merely turned around and smiled, "You might want to take a seat and strap in," she flinched as a console sparked. Turning to the Padawan, she merely asked, "Have you ever crash-landed before?"
