"Sounds like a good plan" said Havec, "you two can narrow down the coordinates to a few sectors, based on the Jedi information, and Aven here can fly to Tarovant and help my friend figure out the exact coordinates with his visions."

"Yeah, I have to admit, you look much better. Not as good before...but still, you look fine.", he said, in the least offensive tone he could muster.

He then saw Raziel and Rahab coming in, and judging by the look of them, they were realted, which made him said.

"I wonder how my family is doing....I hope they're alright....after what I was accused of, who knows what's going to happen to them..."

"Fine?" Asked Avenger, "honestly I think I look closer to ferocious! Anyway will anyone accompany me to Tavorent? Is there anyone else here who knows this person or will you be coming with me, Havec?"

"I've got a few things I need to do here, I'll send a droid pilot and you can go alone, Aven. My friend there has a comlink to this base, one of the few set up to work despite the asteroid- I'll radio ahead and explain you're coming." A mischievous sort of glint in her eyes suggested there was something Havec wasn't saying about the planet, or the friend.

((Edit: I've been doodling while roleplaying here, and I just got around to scanning what I'd drawn.
Aven
Steelven
I think I'll try Raziel next, if I feel like doodling again.))

(( Great pics! You're an awesome artist, Gryph. By the way perhaps you should tell me a little about this planet, if there's anything special, just so I don't stuff it up ))

Avenger sighed and stood up, "take care of yourself, Havec," he said and walked towards the door. He nodded to Raziel and Riven as he exited and headed for the docking bay.

When he arrived a small droid came up to him and said, "Good day, master Aven," Avenger smiled at how Havec's nickname for him had even reached the droids, "I will be piloting your ship for you today. The trip to Talvorent should take about 14 hours, 6 minutes, and 38 seconds." Perhaps I can get some rest, thought Avenger it's been a long day...

((It's a pretty baren planet- half rocks, half desert, with a few small oceans in between. It's rich in minerals, so many mining communities consisting of all sorts of different people with no where else to go have sprung up.))

(( Okay thanks! ))

The droid woke Avenger up as soon as they arrived on the planet. He was surprised that he had absolutely no visions during his sleep. As he stepped out he looked around at the barren landscape, and it seemed familiar somehow. He looked down and saw a short Taurill looking up at him. He was surprised, for he had heard that there were very few Taurill, and most of them went in packs because of their controlling hivemind. "Hello sir! I've been told to expect you by Ms. Havec!" said the kind Taurill as he helped Avenger out of the craft. Aven was still getting used to his new leg, and was having some trouble walking. "Come," said the Taurill, "let us go to my cottage!"

(( By the way if you're wondering the Taurill are an actual species from the Star Wars books and comics and you can probably find what they, along with many other creatures, are at starwars.com ))

((Actually, I was sort of going to use Havec's friend to introduce a new character of mine- playing the Perpetually Enlightened One all the time is taking its toll on my nerves.))

(( would you like me to change it? ))

((The character I had in mind would probably be working in a group- I'll introduce her at the cottage.))

Havec, meanwhile, took the opportunity to head back to her quarters. The night half of the Temple's day cycle was beginning, and Steelven probably needed a little time to sort matters out on his own before she talked to him. "Turn off all communications to my room unless a code five emergency or above is taking place" she told her room's computer, settling down for a quick night's rest.

(( Okay... by the way can I use your drawing of Aven in my sig or a cropped version in my av? ))

"You can meet my friends!" The Taurill said brightly as they approached the tiny hut. The Taurill opened the tiny door and walked inside. Avenger ducked his head and came inside behind him.

(( Will you be controlling this new character or will you describe them to me and I'll use them as an NPC? ))

((I'll control 'em for now, but some might revert to NPCs later. I'll introduce a few, and then stick with whichever I find most interesting. And sure you can use the drawing, just please reduce it to less than 400X400, for the sake of loading time.))

A rather mismatched sort of group inhabited the hut, all working on various parts of a rather ancient looking shuttlecraft. A six-handed birdlike creature worked near the back, using all six arms with various tools to hold up and weld on a control panel to the side, while a furry, froglike creature covered a wing that seemed to be made from scrap metal with a thick coat of paint. A third member of the group slid out from under the craft as the pair entered- a female Drakellyn, which probably explained the glint in Havec's eyes earlier. "Yer the 'un Havec sent o'er here with the visions, then?" she asked, "'thought y'd be a bit older, and less scaly, but I really can't complain there now can I?"

((when aven and havec left raziel and rahab went out to his ship and started to look through the records))

14 hours after havec and aven left...........

Raziel and rahab had been searching through the records for 14 hours and not come across the ship, rahabs been awfully quiet for the last hour raziel thought to himself, he then turned around and looked at rahabs console, he was asleep, "lets get you to bed" he said as he walked over to the console, rahab shuffled his hand and pressed a button, suddenly a large blockade ship and its records came up on screen, including it's location, some text then appeared on screen: crashed on tatooine, was never found, a grin found its way to raziels face, "clever boy rahab" he whispered, he then picked rahab up and took him inside the temple.

**************************************

raziel walked down to the dormitries and put rahab to bed, he then ran to havecs quarters. he knocked on the door, no answer, he knocked louder, "come on havec, answer the door" he said impatiently as he tapped his foot.

"Well this is a problem..", said RIven. "Havec's already sound asleep, Avenger is on another planet, I have no idea where Steelven and Raziel are...and I have no idea which part of the buliding I'm in."

A pause. "Havec was supposed to show me my temporary quarters, until she figures out a way to solve my situation...which I still have no idea how she's going to do that...so..yeah...I'm in a giant pickle..."

A sigh. "I guess I'll have to find it myself. Who knows? Maybe I'll get lucky and find it.", he shrugged, then set off down a corridor.

Havec answered the door, looking rather tired and far less pretty with her feathered hair in knots and plain jedi robes to sleep in. "Yes, Raziel?" she asked, putting on a faint sort of smile and reminding herself that yelling was not the solution.

"i know this probably could've waited till morning but rahab found the ship, it crashed on tatooine and was never found" he said smiling at a very sleepy havec, "oh and also i saw riven wandering around, looking for some quarters no doubt, but i would be happy to invite him to sleep on my ship, as that was where i was going to sleep" he said to havec.

"Tell him to ask one of the droids to find him a room, with authorization 'by the first sandstorm' from me. I'll be out in a few minutes, and I'll contact Aven. We don't want to rush into this, though- going in and finding the ship won't do us much good if we don't know anything about it. I'll find Steelven too, he can come along to interface with any droids we find and see if there's any chance of anyone activating one."

With that, she calmly closed the door, taking a deep breath. She was not a morning person, but her usual morning ritual would surely be enough to prepare her for this…

Avenger was incredibly surprised to see another Drakellyn, but he found it quite comforting. "Hello," said Avenger to the assembled group, while still looking at the Drakellyn, "my name is Avenger, I am one of Havex's friends. SO what is thins you're working on?" he asked as he turned back to the Taurill. His mind was still on the Drakellyn though. She was pretty for a Drakellyn, with a long snout, muscular limbs, and slender tail. Her scales were of the same colour as Avenger's, a deep, almost black, blue. She was wearing the traditional Drakellyn dress: a loincloth and a short leather tunic.

"I'm Tarix" said the lizard being, "and that's Grifeld, Mozzie and The Final Strike" she gestured first to the six armed being, then to the furry frog, then to the ship. "She's a replica of one 'o the ships you dark force types used t'fly back in the Clone War days, accurate right down t'the scratches on 'er control panel, as far as we can figure. If you new Sith are lookin' for information on ships of that time, you've most certainly come t'the right planet."

"Fantastic..." siad Avenger as he stroked the surface of the starship, "is she near completion? Because I'd love a test drive." A slight smirk came across his face as he thought of flying at super high speeds through the sky outside. "Anyway on to business, I would like to know of a Trade Federation Blockade Ship that wasn't destroyed, one with a full quota of droid units." The Taurill looked up at him and said, "the TF! That's my speciality! Well let's see..." he shuffled over to a tiny computer, "there it is! There are two remaining, one on Tatooine and one on Talvorent... wait... this is Talvorent! I can't believe I haven't noticed this before! Well we must go out and search right now! But someone must go with you... alas I can not, for I am afraid of high speeds and this appears to be far away, and some people must stay with the ship to defend it, there are some bad people about. We can only have one person to spare so who would like to volunteer?"

(( A point I'd like to stress: I have a brilliant idea for the hideout for this droid army that ties in well with existing Star Wars history, so please don't decide for it to be a different place. I won't spoil it for you now, though, unless you really want me to ))

Griefeld and Mozzie both looked pointedly at their companion, who got up and tried to rub the worst of the engine oil off her scales. "Yea, yea, I'll be a'taken' the Sith out t'ave a look" she said, glaring back at her companions. "Not that I'm mindin' takin' you around" she added to Aven, "but these three cowards here couldn't drive past t'sound barrier if the whole planet d'pended on it, and this ain't the first time I've been the 'un stuck with more work by process 'o elimination. 'Ope you don't mind a bumpy ride, our hovercraft's 'bout as old as Strike here"

My sun rises to the North, and brings me great light thought Havec, beginning her morning ritual, which she had performed ever since she was a child. It was an odd sort of combination of meditation, exercises and aesthetic rituals, all combined into one swift routine.

She paused for a moment at her closet, picking out something a little more ornamental than her usual quietly practical brown robes- a silver-black top with ribbons where the sleeves should be, which she wrapped in a crisscross pattern down her arms and hid the ends in fingerless talon gloves. She'd been on covert missions for the last several months, and it felt quite freeing to be able to choose for herself what she wanted to look like. Loose pants of the same material that ended at her knees so as not to interfere with her movement completed the outfit, and she smiled to herself as she fumbled with some thin silver chains that she was stringing between the feathers of her ears.

"I could almost be one of those spoiled senators, except they'd have three state of the art, expensive droids to do this, and they'd be paying for it out of the pockets of the oppressed" she muttered, looking herself over as she prepared to face the day.

((My mum's a professional designer, and it's rubbed off on me. Please excuse me when I go off on outfit tangents like this.))

"ok havec, i'll go pull up all the information i can find" raziel said to havec as he rushed off down the corridor and towards his ship.

Avenger was glad to hear that Tarix was coming with him, and he even put on a little smile. "Don't worry," he said, "I've probably been on bumpier rides."

5 minutes later Avenger and Tarix were streaking along the barren landscape in the speeder. "Okay," said Avenger, "maybe I haven't been on bumpier rides." Suddenly another speeder came out of nowhere, with several people on board. They appeared to be Tusken Raiders, more commo nly know as sand people, but their clothes were darker and skin slightly more green. At a shouted command one of them stood up, fitted a rifle into the crook of his shoulder, sighted, and fired.

Tarix swore quite violently, "There's a rifle under the back seat- I'll drive, you use your force magic t'knock off their leader 'er somethin'" she said, speeding up. "'Ope you weren't expecting this to get any less bumpy, 'cus it's 'bout to get worse."
