Light in the Darkness pt. 2 (Closed)

[Michael Scott]

Kunda quickly found his way from the quarters of Mast Axgar and found the quarters of Ebberla Daw with his translation droid behind, one of the other Jedi who would be taking part in the mission. He knocked on the door and announced himself with a growl, the droid didn't bother to translate, and waited for her to open up.

 

[GABA]

Ebberla had known the Knight, Kunda, was on his way and he didn't need to wait long having opened the door to a well known growl of a Wookie. Ebberla greeted him.

"I had been expecting you." she replied inviting him inside.

 

[Michael Scott]

Kunda had grabbed a chair and took a piece of flimsi and pen from the droid's inner compartment. Kunda began speaking while writing down the action plan. So many things racing through his mind, he had to write them down before he lost them.

"Ebberla," the droid translated, "how nice to see you again. I spoke with the Prime Envoy and we are authorized to carry out the mission. Are you and your Padawan prepared for this?"

 

[GABA]

The Knight took a seat across from the Wookie. She could feel and almost hear Kunda's racing thoughts, it was nearly giving her a headache, "Slow down Kunda," she said waving her hand, "Lets sit in my head and chat, then your plans can be easily interrupted when reading straight from the mind. No paper or droids required." she explained, opening a channel into her mind for Kunda to enter.

 

[Michael Scott]

Kunda took a deep breath and closed his mind, he focused on the goal and he became calm, he was back to normal. Kunda began organizing and distributing his thoughts. From the order of silence, Kunda had promised the team would keep away from the Alliance during the mission, to the order of reconnaissance; the mission was fairly simple, but the dangers were apparent and the entire Alliance was being held in his hands, it mustn't go wrong. Kunda started with the words of the Prime Envoy:
"Remain under secrecy" and continued using his thoughts, "this is just a surveillance mission to see what the Imperials are capable of. No killing or engagements are allowed. I think we should disguise ourselves as farmers looking for geospatial and agricultural data, what about you?

(((No time to rush, I'm going to sleep. GN)))

 

[GABA]

Ebberla confirmed the vow of secrecy and the importance of not having anything go wrong. She agreed to surveillance only, believing even with a larger team of Jedi, they would be in over their heads.

"We would be in over our heads if the rumors are true if were to engage. I also agree disguises are in order, however, Muunilinst is known for their mining, agricultural farming may raise a few eyebrows if were happened to be questioned. Perhaps we could stick with geospatial analysis of their volcanoes." Ebberla suggested.

 

[Michael Scott]

"That's a good idea Ebberla," Kunda took another deep breath, "if we are able to measure any activity throughout the surface, then we'd be able to find whatever it is we're looking for. We'll need to study up on the data and research, so we'll give it about one week time. Do you have any ideas for inserting and extracting?"

(maybe 1 thread of planning and then the week is over idk)

 

[GABA]

"I know people." she replied, "A week is plenty of time. I can find us a ship and the appropriate papers needed. If needed, I can find someone who can pick us up and drop us off to avoid any unwanted inspections of the ship." she replied, thinking about her contacts. "Any ideas you have?" she asked.

OOC: That works for me. :]

 

[GABA]

A week's time had passed and everything was ready. The plan was set and Ebberla invited her padawan and Kunda to her temporary quarters on Coruscant to finish out the final details.

Before her on the table sat an envelope for each Kunda and Serg. Inside contained papers and IDs for when they enter the Empire's territory. She was carefully reading over her ID cards and papers as she waited.

 

[Zach]

Serg made his way through the halls of Coruscant as he approached Ebberla's quarters. Slowing as he approached the doors, he reached out with the Force and knocked three times, stepping up to it as he finished. Hesitating for a short moment, he opened the door and looked inside. His Jedi master, Ebberla, stood behind a table with two envelopes placed on it.

He looked to her and smiled. "Master," he greeted brightly, inclining his head in respect. "Finished the details of the documents you gave me before," he said, stepping inside and looking to the slips on the table. "Are these the IDs and documents for the 'excavation'?" he asked with an amused smile.

 

[GABA]

"Hello Serg," she returned the greeting, "Please sit, we are only waiting on Kunda now. You can go ahead and start looking through you papers while we wait, everything should be there: papers, your ID, background on our research." she explained.

 

[Michael Scott]

Kunda walked in just as Serg finished his question, he stood behind the Padawan and waited for him to move out of the doorway. Kunda stood patiently while waiting for the young Jedi to move, and ended up telling Ebberla for him to move. Kunda oberseved the room and noticed what his fellow jedi knight had on the table, two envelopes and a set of papers for herself, she was ready. Even though the mission wasn't officially sanctioned by the republic, the three jedi knew they would be representing the order if they were caught, that's why they devised a sensible plan that was sure to be successful. Even so, Kunda had a weird feeling about not carrying either one of his lightsabers.

 

[GABA]

Ebberla waved for them to come in, she took a seat, the door slide shut and locked. "Good day to you also Kunda." she said then closed her eyes inviting them to talk inside her mind for secrecy and to avoid translations problems with the Wookie Knight.

"All right, lets go over final detail before leaving tomorrow. My name is Rubi Artrovina, I am a geologist from the Lorrd University currently researching volcanic activity." Ebberla waved her hand and appeared were the papers she had been reading, "Inside is your IDs, padawan, you have an additional ID for being my research assistant, papers explaining citizenship in the Empire, please read over; an overview about the 'research' we will be doing; Official university grant papers..." Ebberla fingered through the stack, "All you will need is the IDs mostly, I have copies of the University letters already aboard the ship. Kunda, we are taking advantage of the 'life debt', so you owe Rubi a life debt. We will be carrying no weapons, each of us will have a pack with the research equipment, luckily most of it can still be used as surveillance of the area. No weapons at all or armor, we dress as civilians.

"Our ship is a YT-1300, light freighter, its been equipped with research equipment, the ship's hard-drive was wiped clean and overwritten. Its already been programmed with the coordinates from Lorrd to Muunilinst. The ship is waiting in one of Coruscant's busiest ports, there is no record it was here. Um...credits, we have money, Empire credits....What else...Oh, padawan - you're going to help navigate the ship, we will be avoiding hyperspace routes we don't need to draw any unnecessary attention from Imps. Ok anything else guys?" she asked trying to recall everything.

 

[Michael Scott]

"We are not to interfere with anything," Kunda reminded.

 

[GABA]

"We are not to interfere with anything," Kunda reminded.

Ebberla nodded in agreement, "No, nothing at all. We get in, we get out. Any questions and concerns?"

 

[Zach]

((Sorry for the absence of your guys' posts. Today was the last day of consistent 10 hour shifts, so things should lighten up soon :D ))

Serg took a seat in the quarters and looked down at the envelopes, noticing a Wookiee behind him in the doorway that had to be Kunda. He didn't glance over to him, but could sense out around his body, feeling his surroundings through the Force, rather than focusing on them with his eyes. The envelopes were of more interest to him, wanting to get a feel for his to be character for the mission.

He glanced to Ebberla as she began speaking, indicating the forged forms of identification in their envelopes. He lifted the paper from the table to his palm as she added that he had an extra ID, saying that he was to pose as her assistant. It worked for him. All that meant was that he'd have to do less acting on the mission. Serg permitted a small smile as he thought of that, but redirected himself to the task at hand. He listened carefully to his Jedi Master as she further explained the required documents and what was expected, nodding in response.

She went on to describe the model and specification of their ship, quickly taking Serg's attention at the mention that he'd be navigating. It wasn't outside his range of skills, nor was it a surprising task, but it was still an order from a superior and instructions to go about the mission. She asked if there was anything else, and he shook his head, standing to face the three of them. "No questions, Master," he replied, waiting to hear if there was more to the plan before returning to his temporary quarters. Whether the mission started immediately or in a few days, he'd rather have prepared immediately.

 

[GABA]

"Good if there isn't anymore then lets meet at docking bay 851 tomorrow at dusk. Dress as civilians, all of your equipment will be there when you arrive. May the Force be with us." she said dismissing her partners.

 

[Zach]

Serg nodded to Ebberla, replying with a smile, "Yes, Master Artrovina,". He turned to leave in order to study over the documents, familiarizing himself with the information to memorized their every detail. If his equipment would already be delivered to the docking bay, then he wouldn't have to worry about a shortage of time to go over the information. Serg gave a polite nod to Kunda as he left Ebberla's quarters. He looked down to the papers again as he walked through the corridors to his own room.

The first paper was his identification as a citizen. It read 'Boros Rikarrd.' The name sounded grotesquely blunt, but in comparison to his own. He supposed there would always be a difference in perception of a name in comparison to one's self, though. The name was also displayed in the other documents, linking him to the Mining Guild and his certificate as Rubi Artrovina's assistant. They all seemed to be in order, but he would further read the details once arriving in his quarters.
