Thread: Lessons in the Dark  [ Jagd & Bear ]

Unfortunately it is. He agreed with her leaving. But yes, please consider making it easy for me to find you again, Lina. I am curious to learn how often you hide your true self to be a good Jedi. Given that he called her a terrible Jedi who knows what he means by this. Turning to the side he punched in a sequence into a keypad. Given there was no signal to abandon ship the escape pods were locked down. So once he was done the door opened allowing the Padawan inside. Until next we meet. Intones the Sith before hitting a button and the door whooshing shut quickly. A second and a half later the escape pod launched out of the Sith ship and out of hyperjump and back into normal speed. What an interesting young woman she was. Sunage reflected on their conversation wondering what he could have done differently so she was more attentive earlier on. There were certain obvious physical notes she responded to. When he stopped pacing and when he removed his helmet. Using elements that kept the pressure up on her, in a state of stress was him holding to certain Sith training techniques. In the end though the conversation proved useful for him and it seemed for her as well. Lina asking him about the potential of staying continued to amuse the Sith. He retired to his quarters to consider the implications of. After all his revenge would not be fully realized if she converted too quickly. Either she was miserable as a Jedi or he had been more convincing that expected. No it had to be the former. Which in a way was unfortunate, not only was it making his plan more difficult but it also must affect the poor young woman terribly. He would have to consider his plan carefully but also figure out how to assist Lina even if she was still the enemy for now. This had been a fruitful first meeting. Lina was in a spacious escape pod designed to carry six or seven. Tumbling in space no longer in a hyperjump. There was no chance to see what the ship was that she had been in as it continued going many times the speed of light. So it was she had a good few minutes of quiet alone time there within the pod. It was well outfitted for survival. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then three Republic ships zipped into view, almost appearing out of nowhere but for a trail of light that quickly dissipated behind them. We have received your signal and are here to render assistance. Came a bland comms officer voice over the communications system. One of the ships peeled off to come over to collect the escape pod. This tedious and meticulous process takes much longer than anyone wants but when you wish to get it right time is the price you pay. When the door finally whooshed back open there were two Republic soldiers and the placid but tense with annoyance face of her Master Rultan. The soldiers quickly scanned the insides with their eyes to confirm what he already know, that his Padawan was the only person in the pod. Padawan. The Jedi Master greeted with lack of affect. Please join me in our rooms and explain what just transpired. While he was typical Rultan there was a tension, an edge that he did his best to hide but here it was on display, as muted as it was because his Padawan was just returned to him by the vile Sith. There were motivations and plans going on that he did not know and it was pissing Rultan off.
