Cutting it close

[Black Knight of Keno]

It did not go as planned. The Clone Wars ravaged, a Sector Army under direct rule of Jedi Master and Senior Jedi General Ordo Wells and his Padawan had disappeared seemingly into thin air. Also the Supreme Chancellor had been killed in an attempt to rescue him when a hit to the ship caused the roof to collapse on the Sith Lord, taking him out for good. Since then the wars have been going to the wrong direction. What started out as a succesfull campaign to the GAR has now turned as the factories of the CIA are pushing out battle droid after battle droid and are highly outgunning the clones, even if the clones were how well equipped or trained. It seems the Galaxy is going to get a new Galactic government soon if something is not done. So the Jedi council and the Senate Emergency Council(SEC) have decided to send a group of two jedi and the whole crew and passengers of the Acclamator I given to them to seek the missing Sector Army. Now they have found themselves a lead. Businessman Alar Dif-Salah of Cerea, the owner of a large transportation company that has close ties with the InterGalactic Banking Clan and the GAR has come forth to the team and has set up a meeting on a lone mining station in the Hoth asteroid field.

 

We start with the escorting of the jedi, the Clone Marshal Commander Tirlby(CC-1917) and two squads of clones into the conference room of the mining station. The ship they have arrived in is an Acclamator I-class Star Destroyer hidden in one of the larger asteroids to wait for the return of the team. The vessel they had come to the mining base is a Kappa-class shuttle with three ARC-170 strafighters escorting it.

[Black Knight of Keno]

((Oh, come on. We need some jedi too. Where are the jedi when you need them?))

[Curt-Man]

((I'm sure WJ will ablige))

[Writer]

((Curt, the word is 'oblige'... o, not a... and say no more... a Jedi is here ))

 

 

Name: Alexa Kitan

 

Age: 29

 

Gender: Female

 

Race: Human

 

Equipment: single green lightsaber, traditional Jedi robes

 

Rank: Jedi Knight

 

Appearance:

 

Other: Alexa Kitan was identified as Force sensitive when still in her mother's womb. Her parents were on a tour of the Jedi Temple and were approached by an elderly Jedi Master.

 

"The Force is strong with your child," he said slowly. "Would you consider Jedi training for her when she is born?"

 

The Kitans did not give the man an answer at that time, but the request caused some serious discussion between husband and wife. Just after Alexa was born, they made their decision. They were young parents and, though they knew they could provide an adequate life for their daughter, they also knew the Jedi could do so much more.

 

So, Alexa Kitan was given to the Jedi at six months. Since then, she has proven herself to be a worthy Jedi and, thanks to the Clone Wars, she has also proven her ability to lead.

[Black Knight of Keno]

((Yeah, well. We can't really start without the jedi, so I can reduce the number of jedi to two just to get going faster. I can take the other jedi if WJ wont take two, but I hope I won't have to take a jedi as my character. To be up front, I'm sick of playing jedi and just want to be a blaster-swinging Clone in this one until we get to the near end of the plot where we find the Sector Army))

[Writer]

((Be a blaster-swinging clone, Tepe. Alexa will have a padawan.))

 

Name: Annika

 

Age: 17

 

Gender: Female

 

Race: Human

 

Equipment: twin sabers; one cyan, one violet

 

Rank: Jedi Padawan

 

Appearance: Annika

 

Other: Initially, the Jedi were going to release Annika from training. She was too rebellious and extremely resistant to anything they tried to teach her. Five years ago, Alexa Kitan stepped in and prevented Annika's release. She requested permission to train Annika and permission was given. The first month of training, Annika refused to do everything Alexa asked. Alexa acted as if she didn't care. Her lack of care is what really got to Annika.

 

In any previous training, if Annika refused to do something, her master would scold her. Alexa would not do that. She never ordered; she suggested. Gradually, Annika made a connection with Alexa and her training surged forward.

 

Five years later, Alexa is still training Annika. They are more than master and apprentice; they are friends and their friendship is one of the main things that helps them in training and on the missions they are given.

[Black Knight of Keno]

((Yay! Now we can start))

 

Trilby walked next to the jedi, the squads and their commanding sergeants walking behind them and two of the mine guards walking infront of them. The Clone Marshal Commander turned as the guards opened the doors to a large room with a long table, a man sitting at the very end of the table, a window behind him showing the space and busy mining ships going around, diggind into various asteroids nearby. There were also shown some more militaristic vessels like larger, modified fighters and shuttles going about, guarding from outside threaths as much as from the creatures inhabiting the asteroids and planetoids.

 

"Sergeant, stay with your squad outside and see that nobody disturbs us" he said to the other sergeant while the other sergeant followed the jedi and their commander inside, setting themselves on a line against the wall that also had the door. As the commanding officer of the Acclamator I that had assigned to the jedi use, he sat down with the jedi, removing his helmet with a quiet hiss as the locks opened and the inside air stabilised to meet the one in the room. The commander placed the helmet on the table and put the rifle leaning against the chair but ready for him to grasp in need. The four droid guards next to the window were silent, immobile, but it could be seen that they were ready to act if commanded to.

 

The man on the other end stood up and waved his hand as a sign for them to sit down.

"It is nice to see you, jedi. Please, do sit down like your clone friend. I can finally relieve myself from the information given to me. You seek the 19th Sector Army, which I know where they are. Or... actually, I don't know the exact place, but I know who does" he said before sitting down and smiling kindly at his quests

[Writer]

Alexa Kitan nodded to her Padawan, Annika and they both sat. Then, they turned to the man and Alexa nodded.

 

"Go on, Sir," she said.

[Flamehart]

((Hopefully there's room for one more Jedi - Thanks Tepe.)

 

Name: Victor Ghaleon

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Equipment: Single Light Blue lightsaber, Jedi tunic/robes.

Rank: Jedi Knight

Appearance: Short styled brown hair, green eyes, athletic build.

Other: Victor is a young Jedi, one whom recently gained his Knighthood in the Order. As an apprentice, Victor had several masters during his training - not because his behavior turned them away from him, on the contrary, he was quite quiet and focused, but because he had an awfully bad luck with them dying from a wide variety of different causes.

 

He received Knighthood after the Clone Wars came to begin, perhaps too early for the young Victor. Although he has a firm grasp on tactics, negotiation, and combat, his ability to lead is underdeveloped and is troubled mentally by the traumas he has witnessed in combat.

 

----------------------------

 

 

Up to this point, Victor had been completely quiet on the ride there, and even now, as he took a seat next to Annika and Alexa, he kept quiet. There was little he had to say, and decided to let the who he believed to be more experienced Alexa handle the situation. Although he was a strong negotiator, he was still trying to straighten his thoughts out. He wasn't focused, and he didn't know why. He hid his trouble with a calm, composed expression, but his mind was not at ease. He tried to push these things into the back of his head, to focus on the mission.

[Curt-Man]

((Thanks WJ, spelling was never my strong point ))

 

Holt walked the ship inspecting everything as he always did. "We have ship maintenance crew for that." crew would tell him, but he simply ignored them or told them he need to know first hand everything was just right.

[Sigundr]

((Hey, can there be 3 other commandos to form a squad on the Acclamator, I will control the other three if anyone doesn't want them. I want Niner not to know that there were 3 others assigned to the mission.(Hope there's no tension Tepe.)))

 

Niner, jumped up from his position and fired off 3 rounds into the enemy.

 

"Lieutenant! Take that spider droid out!" Niner ordered.

 

"Yes, sir!" Came the reply.

 

"Sir!" A clone yelled over the comm, "We're taking heavy fire, request orders, sir!"

 

"Fall back! Fall back to my position! Argh!" Yelled Niner, getting hit in the chest with a cannon round.

 

"All right! That's enough, 1309." A voice said, coming from nowhere. The surroundings immediately froze and the sound ceased. Niner stood up and wiped the dirt off his armor. The environment immediately changed into a large holographic room, with a control center above the door. "That'll do for the day Commando."

 

Niner limped out of the room, holding his chest.

 

"Commando, what happened?" Yelled Sarah Vik'rez, Chief Medical Technician, as Niner limped into the sick-bay.

 

"Oh nothing a little bacta won't fix, ma'am. Please, I'm fine," Niner said when Sarah tried to help him.

 

"Well, at least lie down on the table and let me take a look at you." Sarah said, putting on her motherly voice.

 

"Yes, ma'am," Niner said, limping over to the diagnostics table.

 

Lieing down, Vik'rez pulled down the holographic body chart, and scanned Niner's body.

 

"Oh-nine, when are you gonna stop being so hard on yourself?" She asked, staring at the display. "You've got 2 broken ribs and hairline fracture on another."

 

"See, ma'am. It's nothing!" Niner said, swinging his legs over the table and attempting to stand up, but falling to the floor.

 

"Yeah, nothing my a$$. Get on the table and let me stitch you up." she said, bringing the bacta administer over to her side.

[Black Knight of Keno]

((Sure. Go ahead and make more commandos. There are still over 1,900 clones to be claimed))

 

"You see, several years ago, before the Clone Wars, an exploration mission was launched, co-ordinated by the Children Of The Green Planet, Trade Federation and Techno Union. I happen to know that they found something. Now, I am not sure of this, but during the last battle the Sector Army you are looking for fought in, they captured a vessel with the map of this exploration mission. Now, as obliged by the Republic, they probably went to investigate. I do not have this map, but I can get you a meeting with Senator Grableips on Brodo Asogi. He might be more than willing to hand over the map" Alar said and smiled at them.

"I trust that Grebleips will be of more use to you than I have been, but I truly appreciate you coming all the way here. However, you will have a long journey ahead of you, as the road you are taking will be long"

[Curt-Man]

Holt walked passed the med bay and saw Niner in there.

"Another training session Niner?"

[Sigundr]

((Woot woot! Thanks Tepe *does a little jig*))

 

"Yes, sir." Niner said, wincing as he looked up. "The holograms keep getting more realistic."

[Flamehart]

Senator huh..? He's a politician.. by more than willing I'm sure he means after doing a few favors that would bolster his political popularity. Victor thought. He was particularly skeptical when it came to politicians, but decided not to voice his opinion.

[Writer]

"He might be willing," Alexa said, stressing the 'might' with a slight smile. "Regardless his inclinations, we will meet with him if he is willing. Thank you for your offer to set up the meeting."

 

Annika glanced over at Victor and grinned slightly. Her words projected into his mind, Politicians... in general, a waste of time, you think?

 

But Alexa caught the thought as well and projected her words into the minds of both Annika and Victor, The man's status matters little. He has information we want. If there's any way we can get it from him, we have to try.

[Flamehart]

Victor looked over, and projected his previous thought directly to both, as well as something else, Despite that, I agree that we should still try, I'm just saying, expect to have to do something once we get there. His left hand was resting lightly on his hilt, no intention of drawing it, but tapped his fingers nervously on it lightly. This was his first time working alongside these two Jedi, he had a hidden worry in his head that while participating with them, they would discover his current inability to focus as well as usual.

[Writer]

Agreed, Alexa projected, nodding almost imperceptably. And as Jedi, we must tread all the more carefully. Though the would-be Emperor did not succeed, we lost some respect for letting him get as far as he did.

[Sigundr]

((Hey, guys. Don't call Niner by his name. Call him Commando, 1309, or 09, oh-nine. Niner's name is for his squadmates, other commandos, and his instructor, Kal Skirata.))

 

Niner walked into the barracks and laid down on his bunk. The place was deserted. It was just him. He was ordered to get some sleep, but was having trouble, so he got out of the bed and got out his survival pack. He took everything out and set his chronometer to time him. He put everything back in 52.33 secs.

 

"D*mn, I'm getting slower," he cursed to himself.

 

Just then the doors slid open and in walked three commandos, each still donned with their armor. They saw Niner and stood stiff, saluting.

 

"At ease commandos. Who are you?" Niner inquiried.

 

"I'm Guillotine. Best sniper, other than Sev, that is," the first commando said, his armor painted with a dark red color.

 

"Hack here. I'm the slicer of us, I'm guessing." Hack said, looking over at the other 2. His armor was scratched, a faint blue color on the chest, arms and legs, and helmet.

 

"I'm Darman, explosives expert," the third commando said, the tell tale signs of charred remains and explosives on his survival pack. His armor was white. Completely, pearl white. He never decided to paint his armor, Niner guessed.

 

"I'm Niner. I'ts a pleasure to be working with you soldiers."

[Curt-Man]

((rightio...ok, if you want 4 jedi you can have one, I'm not to good at being a soldier ))

[Sigundr]

((Who said anything about you being a soldier? Nothing against you. We need about a battallion of shock troopers, among other things. )) Shock Troopers

 

((OKay, maybe you don't, 'cause you got Niner (me), Darman, Guillotine, and Hack. Commandos are here to save the day! WOOT WOOT!))((OKKay, mnaybe not, time for bed. I love this RP. I...... *starts snoring*

[Flamehart]

Alright...well I'll follow your lead. Victor said shortly, looking over at the two. He was still learning in terms of leadership, and thought that maybe he could learn something in this mission from the two that would help him.
