Storm clouds loomed livid over the ziggurat. Small things, weeds and bits of paper flitting by, picnic trash racing in the wind. Somebody’s lightsaber rolled across the pavement like an empty soda can. A great deluge was imminent. The whole sky was bruised and bulging with rain about to fall and the residents of the temple had vacated the grounds for the shelter of the temple's interior. On a normal day this little campus carved out of the jungle would be bristling with Jedi. Knights, padawans, masters, maybe even the Grand Master herself could potentially be found out here: coming or going, eating lunch, meditating, or following along on some kind of first-timer’s orientation led by one of those elderly Jedi librarian types. What you would almost never see in this place, other than as a name at the bottom of some decrepit roster buried in whatever depressing office housed such records, was the Jedi Knight Thayd Karkoza.
Between all of his “sabbaticals” and “leaves of absence” interrupted by sporadic bursts of contact and ephemeral flurries of involvement in Jedi initiatives out in the wider galaxy, it was possible this individual had never even been to Yavin IV since the Order had set up shop there in secret, just a shade under a decade ago.
And yet there he was now, in the flesh, suddenly pried loose from obscurity to take an apprentice, of all things. From the temple's high chambers, one could see zipping up the long, main driveway, a little electric golf cart with Thayd Karkoza behind the wheel. With its tiny tires and thin plastic roof and total lack of siding it appeared as if it were inviting any strong gust to just yank them up and feed them to the yavin thunder god for their insolence. Nevertheless the cart proceeded along its course until it came into the open parking garage / hangar bay / multi-purpose area of the temple's ground floor.
Some of the oil-smudged Jedi tinkering around with a starfighter gave him puzzled looks as he rolled in but Thayd paid them no mind and set the parking brake. He took out a little comms device, smacked it a few times to give it signal and dashed off a message to Torruye Almuth, telling her to come downstairs with her boots on.
