The shuttles sailed through the skies of Tython, a welcoming sight for all to be hold. As the shuttles entered the atmosphere the came in to just over the mountain tops of the gorgeous landscapes of the Jedi Homeworld. The pilots had a complete control on each of the shuttles and each of them paths they'd taken to come into the planet. The weather was bright and shining, the winds calm causing no turbulence - it was just simply smooth sailing.
Onboard the shuttle however stood the Jedi Master Guleya, as he rubbed shoulders with the passengers. Unfortunately the shuttles were a bit crowded but it couldn't be helped. It made the travel through hyperspace rather awkward, but there was no dry eyes on the shuttle even now - hours later. Bruce had a heavy heart as well, though a Jedi who was frequently calm and seemed to be less troubled then others, he to was feeling a bit upset; the mission he had just done wasn't completely successful. Dozens had died, in part due to the Jedi Master himself - not acting fast enough or by his own hand. Bruce didn't excel at killing, he was a healer by nature; and the death of children seemed to hang on him as well... all because Bruce had been there once. It was a heavy burden to bare, but he would bare it all the same.
Before him was a young Jedi Knight he had met on this mission. The Jedi Knight had sustained a sever injury to his arm, but Bruce was a gifted healer and was tending to Jedi Knight Gûry Sündr Gantz (@Ero). The Force flowed through the Master's body and into his hand where it wrapped the Knight's injuries tightly and stimulated the natural healing of the body as the Master purged all signs of infection or bacteria from the Kath Hound's vicious bite. As he tended to the wound, he had given the young Jedi Knight a bit of a tongue lashing because of the mission on Vandor-1 but it was a mild case. Bruce had felt the Knight embrace the thrill of combat near the start of it all, he also sensed the apprehension he had suffered before the battle was in full swing; but nonetheless the Master smiled and complimented the Knight for his abilities and thanked him for coming.
"Master Bruce, you need to stop blaming yourself for that incident. It wasn't your fault, it wasn't the Order's fault. Jyk was a bit of a loose cannon and stuck in the old ways. In hindsight I should have seen it." Bruce's Kaleesh friend Nim spoke to the Master as he tended to the wounds.
"I understand you Nim, truly I do friend. But it was still my fault to have set him off - and it 'tis my fault for burying your village."
"Well..." Nim paused, "... that's true, you did bury our home in snow, but it was necessary." The village leader chuckled.
Bruce looked over the knight he was tending to and smiled, healing had been successful. Satisfied Bruce got to his feet and made his way through the crowds toward the cockpit, he took in the familiar sights of Tython's woods before being greeted by the Academy off in the distance. The shuttle gently banked to the left as it made the final approach. "Landing authorization confirmed, welcome home lads. You'll be next to land - tell Master Guleya that the supply shuttles have arrived and we just started unloading the second one. You'll be landing on the pad once it's clear. Welcome home again." The docking officer's voice came over the comm. Bruce could see the supply craft taking off and clearing the pad that they were heading for.
Jedi Master Guleya's shuttle soon touched the ground and the entire shuttle rocked with a loud thud. Overhead the pilot confirmed the landing and the ramp dropped down letting in the fresh air of Tython fill the cabin. Bruce had emerged from the cockpit and made his way through the crowd again toward the back and down the ramp.
"Everyone, it's okay. Come on down." Bruce called to the shuttle, soon the crowds began to funnel out slowly. Nim approached his bardottan friend, "I'm still sorry for it. But the Jedi would be happy to provide you a place to stay - there's a clearing not far away from the academy. Some of our technicians have already started getting the area clear for a new village. We'll be able to protect you here and be able to help you in whatever way we possibly can."
The Kaleesh would have smiled, but it was impossible to be seen. "Bruce, don't be so hard on yourself. Seriously. We're happy to have had you and we were happy to give you and your friend a place to stay, I'm sorry she wasn't here to see this. She was quite the girl! Firey spirit! I really liked her." Nim pat the master on the back, "But I will say - we can help you in some way. We're very skilled and like we had discussed previously, we can probably get this Academy a safer place!" Nim turned his back, "Lucas, get your friends together and help the Jedi better prepare to defend this place - it was a beacon to these fine folks once, and we'll make sure it stays that way going forward!"
Bruce smiled, "Thank you, Nim. Please feel free to ask for help or anything going forward - the Jedi will be happy to help; I would be happy to help as always. You're a good friend." Bruce pat his friend on the shoulder, "Lucas! Can you also speak with our team? Have them change all of the command codes here - you'll need to if you're adding a new wing." Bruce shouted to the technician, who nodded in acknowledgement; and with that Nim left with his people to help build a new settlement.
Bruce entered the archives of the Jedi Academy, crews were unloading the metallic crates that were recently delivered. They were stocking and cataloguing all the details they had received. The saurian like Master stood in the entryway with a smile on his face. It had been a tough battle, and although much had been lost - these metal crates full of Jedi Knowledge and Teachings he had liberated from The Ossus Great Library before it's destruction at the hands of the Sith Empire, they were a large victory even though they it seemed like a tiny thing, its symbolize was the greatest achievement. These books and teachings, they signaled - at least to Bruce that the Sith hadn't won and that Ossus was still alive.
Bruce walked into the room, running his left three fingers along the shelves, taking it all in. He picked up a single book now, a book that still remained somewhat charred. He held it in his hands, he ran his free fingers along the cover, although the attack was sometime ago, it was like it was yesterday to the bardottan. He could feel the tears in his eyes as he relived the moment to himself, as he realized that this could have all been lost - and had they not taken steps, would have been lost. He knew he needed to take sometime to himself after all had transpired, but his job wasn't done. He'd need to talk to the council and update them of the situations.
For now, it was time to celebrate. They were restoring much of the achieves! They had saved some many priceless pieces and many would come to enjoy these moments. It was critical and it made the statement that not all was lost! They deserved the peace that had been wrought, if only for awhile. Bruce would return that charred book and make his way to help unloading the crates.

These is an OPEN Thread for all Jedis. This is a social thread or a reaction thread (or both) depending on what you want to take away from it. Feel free to hop in and contribute to this.
Perhaps you're at the Academy and you see the shuttles landing? The large group of people (of all species) departing and making for the hills? Unloading the crates of Knowledge? Truly the choice is yours.
I'll leave it up for about 24 hours (upwards to the completion of my last thread - which is underway) before I close it off; it's free plot credits hehe.
Tagging those who were in the previous threads as well. Doesn't mean you're here but it's an FYI.
