A single shuttle carrying two Sith lanced through the unyielding rains of Kamino towards the ruined shell of Tipoca City. On board was Vex, a Sith Master for many weeks now, and her apprentice, Caer. A couple of weeks had passed since his first lessons were completed. Vex had fully accepted him as her apprentice, which meant they needed to go on a mission together. The only way he would get real experience was in the real galaxy, and Kamino was relatively safe enough for him to practice his novice skills without harming himself or jeopardizing the mission.
Vex had stayed silent for most of the flight. The news that the Empress Darth Andruil was resigning was only days old and the idea that she was no longer running the Empire was settling in Vex's mind. Just a fortnight ago, they had been in the gardens together on Serenno. It seemed surreal to think they were under a new Empress now. What did that mean? For the war effort... For everything... Vex didn't have answers. So, she would do what she always did. Bury herself in work.
The shuttle landed on a rain-slicked platform on the edge of the city. Vex was wearing her armor to shield from the weather and had advised her apprentice to wear suitable attire to their mission. Once they were outside, rain lashing at them like needle darts slung from an unforgiving sky, Vex turned and spoke loudly over the roar of the miles-high waves roiling below. "This is an official mission," she reminded him. "We will be limiting your training here to practicality because I will be needed to perform certain tasks." Under her helmet, she raised her brow at him, challenging. "But you can start us off. You've been reading those grimoires I gave you, yes? Then you should know the basic probing spell used by Sith sorcerers to search for danger."
It would be easy to perform on Kamino. With the rain as a sound Caer could focus on to enter the trance state, he would then just need to let the Force ripple out from him like a sonar, then command it to return, just as they had practiced on Korriban. "Do it and tell me which of these buildings we're going to first." @LouJoVi
