JasraLantill Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Jasra went in search of Kira. She found her in the med bay, with the Disciple tending over her. “Is Kira… alright?” Jasra asked him. She eyed Kira with suspicion, wondering how she would react. She sure had been furious when Jasra had attempted to get at the tracer button set in Kira’s hairband. If it hadn’t been for Togo’s stunning blasts, Jasra felt Kira might even have killed her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Kira sat up when Jasra entered the med bay, brushing Disciple away softly. "I'll be fine." she said. Her eyes, which had now fully returned to their normal color, reflected the shame she felt. "He...he took the shard, didn't he?" she asked. When Jasra answered with a warry nod, Kira sighed. "Look...I'm sorry for what happened back there." the Exile refused to meet Jasra's eyes, and instead chose to stare at the med bay wall, "The shard...I just...it took over me. I couldn't control what I was doing. The only thought on my mind was keeping that shard. The power..." her voice drifted off to nothing, her mind rerunning the scene of her attacking Jasra, and her eyes dropped to the floor, her cheeks tinging slightly red.

The Doctor Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 The Doctor jumped, then backed away from her. *Tegan, Nyssa. Would you give us a moment?* They looked at each other curiously, then left the TARDIS. THe Doctor looked at Crystal. *Crystal, I am going to ask you a question, I need you to on hundred percent honest with me.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 *Are you,* he began. *Or are you not... a enforcment officer sent by the Time Lords. You changed your appearence when your body was in danger. That's a trick of Gallifreyan's only. My TARDIS has been diabled. This cannot be a coincidence.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 "It is an unintentional similarity," Crystal told him after a long silence. "I...

Writer Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Crystal smiled. "No, I'm not. Just a slightly different telepath... and it rather feels like there might be other things I can do now, but I couldn't be sure unless I tried and I don't exactly want to experiment in any enclosed places for fear of destroying them."

The Doctor Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 The Doctor looked at her warily for another moment, then seemed to relax. *I'm sorry, Crystal. But one can never be to careful when the Time Lords are concerned,* he said. *Now, where is Jasra? Is she alright?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 "She's fine," Crystal reassured. "I found her just in time. We had a brief tussle with our former stowaway, but managed to get away alright. Jasra's back with us now." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 *Alright, we need to get of Taris before it attacks again,* he said, heading for the door. *I'm not in the mood to go through another regeneration at the moment.* He left the TARDIS, heading for the medical bay to check on Kira - and to find out what Jasr'a employer wanted with her. He saw Jasra standing outside the medical bay, and walked up to her. *What happened?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasraLantill Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ”What happened?” asked the Doctor. “Well…” Jasra paused, looking nervously at the door to the med bay. “First of all, Togo, my employer,” she added with obvious embarrassment, “is a droid. And he’s tasked Kira to find these crystal shards.” She frowned. “Gayat crystal shards,” she continued. “Part of something he called the ‘Key to the Galaxy’. He had one of them there. Kind of a pale gold colour? Very weird. He wants her to find the other four shards and bring them to him to destroy. Then he gave the shard he had to her to hold. Said that she was the only one who could sense where the other shards were and that she needed to ‘tune’ herself to it. But…” she shifted uncomfortably, and lowered her voice. “The shard…it did something to her. Changed her. Made her…well, selfish, power hungry, and dominating. It was sort of scary.” Jasra bit her inner lip. “And he said that now that she had felt the power of the crystal, her desire to possess the other shards would be irresistible. And then he….” She suddenly forgot what she was going to say next. She knew it was important, but for the life of her, she couldn’t think what it was. “Nevermind. You get the picture, right?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 "I hope everyone's here now," Atton's voice shouted through the inter-hold comm., "Because we're leaving. Now." Sure enough, before Kira had time to brace herself, the Hawk rocked as the engines whinned and the landing gears groaned. They were airborne, and Atton gunned it a moment after, causing the Exile to flip off the table. Well, she would have, if Disciple hadn't been right there. "Oof!" The two Jedi landed in an undignified heap on the ground, Kira laying atop the Disciple. "Sorry." she muttered, standing. "Uh, no problem." Disciple said, standing as well. He rubbed the back of his neck. He didn't know that bulkheads were so...hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3yks Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Brax caught them just in time, he'd gotten into his ship at jsut the right moment, and saw the Hawk lifting off. He quickly caught up tot hem. He wouldn't be able to get close enought o ride their hyperspace window this time, but he prepeed a tracker for right before they entere hyperspace.

Writer Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Seconds after the rapid takeoff knocked everyone about, Crystal went floating (yes, floating... as in, like there's no gravity) into the cockpit and sat down next to Atton. "I understand the desire for a quick takeoff," she told him wryly, "but I doubt most of the others were able to adapt to it as I have." ((Remember, she looks and sounds differently now. )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 "Would the weird thing that happened to you be related in anyway to what happened to Kira?" the pilot asked, still a bit wary. She didn't look a thing like Crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 "We touched the same crystal, if that's what you mean," Crystal answered thoughtfully. "Though it seems to have had a worse effect on her than on me... true, the effect it had on me is far more... visible... but I think I'm more or less the same mentally, and mentally is how it seems to have changed Kira."

JasraLantill Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Inside the inner sanctum of Sig’s cantina (or had it always been really Togo’s cantina) Togo extended a long metal arm and retrieved the golden crystal shard from the floor. He had calculated the probablity that he might have to disable the Exile to get the crystal shard back, but he had not calculated that there would be another that wanted it as badly. He had successfully repelled the female intruder, stunning her with his shock arm before ejecting her from the room, however, her appearance added new factors to the equation. The small flap opened up in his chassis and the mechanised arm deposited the crystal securely inside. Next, Togo rose through the hole in the ceiling to the upper level of the cantina, then eventually the cantina’s roof. The small transceiver tilted towards the salvager’s sector and the landing bays. Linking into the primitive flight control tower’s computers, he scanned the upper atmosphere. And he found what he was looking for. He adjusted his transmitter to the correct frequency, then spoke. “I am most disappointed at the state of my facility, Brax. Particularly since you were unsuccessful in obtaining your quarry. However, I believe I still might be able to offer you some assistance in your task in exchange for your services. According to my calculations, the probability that Revan will remain close to the Exile is extremely high. I have given Jasra Lantill one of my ‘special’ implants and instructed her to keep close to the Exile. The implant would allow you to hear and see what Jasra Lantill does, giving you unlimited access to the inner workings of the Ebon Hawk without being seen. I will give you the frequency, if you agree to track the Exile and report her progress to me.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 "I don't know," Crystal admitted. "Last time I saw her, she was unconscious. Before that, I sensed incredible amounts of greed and anger being projected from her... not at all the woman I met when I first came aboard."

ForceFightWMe12 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 That didn't rest well with Atton. "So you're saying something happened to her when she touched this...crystal?" At that moment, a proximity alarm went off. "What the--?" He switched the viewscreen to each the starboard, bow, hull, and port cameras. "Oh not him again." he mummured as he spotted a ship behind him, "Don't tell me that's our stowaway again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He set coordinates into the grid, firing up the hyperdrive. "Time for some random jumping." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
