Sounds of silience

[argutator]

Murray is lying in a chair within his apartment. Bottles of liquor litter the floor of the dark damp room. There Murray sat staring into the nothingness of his room. The Cigarette smoke filled the room with small whips of grey. He pulled on the cig inhaling deeply letting the smoke fill his lungs. Exhaling he felt his body calm a little.
Hello darkness my old friend....
He started to feel chills down his body; from what who knows. Slowly Murray stared to feel his eyes relax. His breathing began slowing down greatly. Voices began filling his brain. Voices from people of the past; people whom he's purposely removed from himself both physically and mentally. "mmmmMMUrray Llllleettts goo" He began to hear echos of the voice of his ex best friend. Visions began flowing his senses He began to see the things he has tried so hard to cover up. Murray jumps to his feet screaming and flailing for the visions to stop as the world around him became flooded in the blackness of nothingness and he fell face first into the floor completely passed out.

"Hey, Murray? Wake up!" Kip shook his comrade as the ship was descending. "We are here! mmmmMMUrray Llllleettts goo!!!" Kip began to shake him vigorously.

The ship ascended into the planets atmosphere. Kip was a little nervous, it was his first mission as a jedi knight and was still a little weary of his Sith past.

He knew what the dark evil of the sith was capable, he knew first hand....as a death dealer he called himself as he roamed with his prior sith brethren. Now redeemed as a full fledged jedi and taking a turn for better. But he none the less was hoping none had or will make a presence here on this day.

Hey is there gonna be a free lunch after this? Kip jokingly mentioned trying to lighten the mood. Hey murray go over the plan once again so we can make sure we are doing it right?

 

[Siah]

Siah had been away from Ilum only a few months. He had been on a few missions for the Jedi Council, and had enjoyed the responsibility. Being a monastic knight, he had had very little dealings with the outside world. His skill at negotiations and diplomacy was weak, he had been specifically sent on missions that required the more martial aspects of the Jedi Order.

The young knight slowly opened his eyes. His trance had been fulfilling, his meditation, sustaining. He was one with the force and felt exhilarated by its essence. He stood up, clipped his utility belt around his white robes and placed his lightsabers one by one into their clips on his belt. Rising to his full height, he breathed out slowly and settled himself for the mission ahead.

The ship began its descent to the planet and Siah could feel the structure shaking slightly as the energy from entry met the outer hull. As he walked down the corridor, he heard voices. He could make out the voice of Kip, a fellow knight. He'd read in the briefing that this was Kip's first mission as a knight. Siah was pleased that the Order was growing stronger and increasing its capabilities. The Sith presence had increased dramatically on the edges of Republic space, the Order needed all the Knights they could get.

Siah entered the radio room, he saw Kip was standing over Murray. Kip was trying to wake him. Aa he did so, Murray's arms flailed in the air and he jumped up to his feet. Murray was silently screaming at someone in his dreams. His contorted face spoke of extreme anguish. Then, Murray collapsed to the floor face-first. Siah was kneeling beside him in an instant. The Jedi placed his hand inches from Murray's temple and negotiated the energies of the force. Closing his eyes behind his mask, Siah focussed on the waves of energy around the ship. The force was strong here, in the presence of three Jedi. Siah pulled delicately at first, loosening a few strands of the force and directing them to Murray's temple. He then urged more and more energy into the unconscious Jedi. A moment later a steady stream of healing Force was flowing from the surrounding air into Murray's temple. Siah smiled as he felt normality assert itself within Murray's head.

Siah stood up and walked to the plasteel window to watch the rest of the descent.

 

[Murray Mitchel]

The turbulance from entering the atmosphere had caused Murray to fall from his seat landing hard on his head. Siah quickly came over to assist Murray from his injuries. "Ha! You never seem to focus on the important things do you Kip?" Murray said jokingly while rubbing his head "The mission is simple. We were called in to assist with a weather disaster on Trogan. Nothing some freshies can't handle!" Silly people why would you even live on a planet that's known for bad weather? he thought.
He looked over to Kip to see an expression of discomfort. "Don't worry everything will be fine man. We'll be done and ready to go home before ya know it mate." Murray couldn't really tell if his words had encouraged his friend or not. In the end, it didn't matter Murray was excited to out on the field even if it was a boring assignment.
Murray was the first to leave the transport as it landed. He looked over to his left to see another shuttle with a man waving in his direction to head towards him. "Let's go Kip! Lets go Siah!" he ran over to the other transport.

 

[Siah]

Siah shook his head slowly, amused. He'd be tending to this mission with two very lively companions. He was sure he was going to enjoy this mission.

They landed at a small space port, in a picturesque valley. The valley was large, forested hills and mountains surrounded them in the far distance. It looked tranquil, even the populace were moving about slowly, going about their daily lives. This section of the valley had been ravaged by some very powerful weather anomalies in the past few weeks. Siah could sense some of the environment still reeling. While the damage to structures was purely superficial, there was extensive damage to crops and some infrastructure. Republic Techs were working on power lines and water sanitising systems. Independent contractors were providing medical aid in makeshift tents. There weren't many injured, but possible disease was a concern considering the lack of flowing water.

Siah followed an excited Murray off of the transport. They walked over to the old man waving at them. He was old, sinewy and weathered. Yet, he had a young smile and bright eyes. His accent was crisp, and he extended a large hand to Murray in greeting. "How goes it young 'un? Ma' name's Gerb Shirley." The wrinkles covered the old man's face, "I has ya' transport all ready for ya'. This way." He beckoned for them to follow and lead them off to a large repulsorlift transport craft. The old man jumped nimbly onto the craft.

After a few false starts, the large machine was underway. "It's not ta' far to the struc'ur. Its pretty darn large, an' we doesn't know wha' ta' make o' it. Afore we tear i' down we tho' i' would be good fo' ya' ta' takes a look at it. Might be 'portant." Gerb chuckled to himself as they moved through the peaceful valley.

Slowly kip followed his companions, living in the moment, the now as he spectated at the area around him. Kip loved being outdoors and on missions. It made him feel....well at home. Chuckling at the gentlemans accent he followed suit of his fellow knights.

"Wonder if its like this all year round?"

Kip didnt know much of this place. He had only been there once....or twice..... Either way It was like it all was new to him.

Running through his mind of all the possible types of buildings it could be. Maybe a temple, maybe an ancient schooling of sort? Maybe a giant mansion from the ancient times.....ooooooo maybe a enormous castle that belonged to some great king? Clueless it was to him but none the less sketchy.

A giant pressure hit kip like a ton of bricks....he suddenly sensed extreme violence. A presence? Maybe an aura? Or possibly his paranoia kicking in, the farther they explored into this valley. None the less kip was begining to become uncomfortable.
