"The Northstream isn't scrap metal!" Sara hissed back, "Even if your ship's in better condition, I at least have the brain capacity to pilot and repair it and not need some AI computer to do it for me!"

 

She steered the ship out of the hangar, up above the trees, and into orbit before grudingly opening a comm. channel for him. "You have to hold down the comm. button to speak. Oh, it's the one labeled 'comm.', in case you weren't sure."

Amol glared at the back of her head, longing to reach out and cuff her across the head, but he resisted. He opened the channel, and spoke. "Amol Kotay to Stephanas."

 

The computer's voice responded immidiately. "Stephanas receiving."

 

"Computer, I want you to activate stealth mode, and match the Northstream's speed and course. Stay within hailing range at all times."

 

"Acknowledged."

 

"Good luck, Computer. Amol Kotay out."

 

He closed the channel, and nodded. "Your consideration is appreciated, Captain," he said.

"These are our trolly's, they're for moving quickly around the ship. These will be for the tour" Ex-Zar said motioning to the two seated craft. Ex-Zar walked a ways forward, and got on a third trolly farther up, Blink and Sarfis mounted theirs likewise. "Well come on, you want the tour so bad, maybe you can give me the co-ordinate to this 'The Wheel' while we're on the tour" he said smiling at Va'ala.
Va’ala, along with Krell, gladly took seats aboard their trolley, leaving Bob to stand behind them like a gondola oarsman. “Co-ordinates to The Wheel? Sure,” said Va’ala. “I’ll have Wabacca transfer them to your bridge. When we get there.” She gave Krell a knowing look. “That is where we are going first, right?” she asked Ex-Zar.

 

“I like bridges, don’t you, Krell?” She put her hands behind her head and leaned back in the seat in a relaxed manner. “They always got such great views.”

"I think I'm alright for now," he said. He turned to move from the cockpit, but stopped and turned to her on the threshold. "I would, however, like to be present when the Jedi brief you on the mission - I'm sure there's something they know that Skywalker wouldn't tell me. I want to know what it is."

He narrowed his eyes. "Look lady, I don't want to be here any more than you want me here. But Skywalker said he needed me here. That's good enough for me, and it sure as hell better be good enough for you. So you might as well drop off the high ronto now, princess, because I'm not going to let a rotten little wench talk to me like that. Do I make myself clear?"

Several moments later, Kat reached Skywalker's quarters and saw someone else waiting there. She grinned and leaned against the opposite wall.

 

"I take it there's a line to see him," she said to Jakyl. Then, she crossed the hall and offered her hand. "Kathryn... Gray. People call me Kat."

 

 

((Dark_Lady, I want to remind you that Kat is carrying a lightsaber on her belt. It might make you mistake her for a Jedi, which could open up an interesting discussion while we wait for Luke :) ))

 

((Good idea.))

 

"Nice to meet you," responded Jakyl, shaking her hand. "I'm Jakyl, by the way. I noticed you're carrying a lightsaber, so I suppose you're a Jedi?"

 

Jaykl hadn't met many, if not most, of the other Jedi at the Academy, so this seemed to be a logical assumption. Though there was definitely something different about this one.

"A princess" Jethro interfered. He was really getting annoyed by the two of them arguing."Now could the two of you finally knock it off?"

 

"First of all, I have no idea why Master Skywalker sent you with us Amol, but whatever is on this disk.." he held up the casing holding it "must be very important and it is imperative that it reaches the fleet's outpost on Naboo."

Zhane and Kyle got out and noticed Jakyl and another woman waiting.

 

"Now's your turn," Kyle told them, "Man, there must be a really good line to speak to Luke."

 

They made their way to the hangar and entered the Raven's Claw.

 

"Well, today sure is busy. Let's go to Tatooine," Zhane smiled. Kyle got on the pilot's seat and Zhane in the co-pilot's.

 

"What's the holdup Kyle?" Zhane asked.

 

"Nothing, just thinking about someting. Let's roll," He smiled, firing up the engines as the Raven's Claw flew to space.

Kat seemed a little surprised at being assumed a Jedi, even with a lightsaber clipped to her belt. She unclipped it and stared at it for a moment before shaking her head.

 

"No," she answered. "No, I'm no Jedi. Neither was the woman who constructed this something like four thousand years ago. Her name was Crystal Gray, a distant ancestor of mine. She had many Jedi-like abilities without being at all Force sensitive. Some of us in her bloodline have some of her... gifts."

 

Smiling slightly, she telekinetically rose off the ground. "Some have telepathy, others telekinesis, still others teleportation." Returning her feet to the ground, she shrugged. "Still, none of us have ever had all of Crystal's powers. But a few of us have carried on her lightsaber, her ship, and her last name. I am the current."

 

Then, the people who'd been in seeing Luke came out and Kat smiled to Jakyl. "You were here before I was. It's your turn."

Jakyl was very interested and surprised by Katherine's talents. Telekinesis without the Force...

 

"Well," she said, "I hope we meet again soon."

 

She walked in by Luke and grinned at him.

 

"Well," she said. "You must be really tired by now. Nice to see you again, Master. It's been a while."

The Master sighed heavily as Kyle and Zhane left. "May the Force be with you." he muttered quietly. The doors opened a moment later, and a woman stepped into the room.

 

"Jakyl." Luke said with a wide grin, crossing over to her and extending a hand, "It really has been too long. And as for being tired...you really have no idea. I'm too old to be pulling these all-nighters."

"Not really," Jakyl responded. "I was just wandering around, and thought I might as well visit an old friend. I just thought I should come here for some reason or another... dang, I'm not making much sense... Anyway, is there something you'd like me to do around here? If not, I'd best be going. There's someone else waiting to speak with you."

''Admiral, the shuttlecraft is leaving the Academy.'' Hall said into the com device with a dose of urgency, ''It has a functioning cloaking generator and its just been activated.''

 

''Hmmm. Interesting.'' Thrawn II said quietly, ''I want that ship tracked. Bridge, all power to sensors. Track the shuttlecraft's exit vector and launch a probe. We may not be able to pursue it, but we are not going to lose sight of it.'' The blue skinned Admiral ordered.

 

As the cloaked ship left Yavin's atmosphere a small, barely visible device was launched from the Origin. It intercepted the cloaked ship and attached a tracking beacon, then it returned to the Origin. Thrawn II smiled with satisfaction.

The captain narrowed her eyes at him, holding back the biting comment that was prepared to spring from her mouth. Instead she turned to Jethro.

 

"So you know nothing else about it?" she asked.

 

"Apart from where to take it, no.." Jethro answered. "If a Jedi Master won't give certain mission details, it's best not to ask about them either. You know how secretive they can be." he said grinning, but the grin dissapeared when someone poked him in the back. He turned around and noticed it was his sister standing behind him. "Yes sis?"

 

"That duel you promised?"Kyla asked kindly.

 

"Alright, just give me a minute." He responded and turned back to Amol and Sara. "So there isn´t much of a mission briefing. All we have to do is get the highly important disk to the fleet´s outpost on Naboo, preferably within 24 hours. Try not to make things more difficult than a simple delivery mission should be and get along with Amol, Sara." he said and looked her in the eyes. He started walking past them, but whispered something to Sara before he left the room. "At least try to."

 

He turned around and started following his sister to the cargo hold. "The two of us will be in the cargo hold if you need us." Jethro shouted back.

((OOC: Here's a question, Igyman, if the ship has been cloaked since even entering the system, then how could you have kept track of it this entire time?))

 

IC:

 

"There really isn't much to be done, honestly." Luke lied smoothly, "Although...I do read some remarkable waves beyond the door. Tell me, who's the one waiting after you?"

 

~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Yeah, I'll get along with Amol. Sara grumbled to herself, We'll get along just as well as a kath hound and a drexl larva. Though...suppose she could at least try...

 

The woman sighed, and moved back to the pilot's seat, taking hold of the controls again as she disengaged auto-pilot.

 

"Hang on guys," she shouted back, "We're jumping!"

 

She punched in a last few keys, and the stars enlongated, announcing the slip into Hyperspace.
