Lyra had stepped into the temple with a look of wonder and a bleeding heart. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own two eyes. It was not just the Jedi temple which had struck her, nor the pockets of robed strangers, much like her, walking around its ancient halls. Something else had rocked her to her core.

The greenery.

Blankets of moss climbing walls, flowers hatching out from cracks in the pavement. Birds in the rafters and trees which stretched and loomed above her. Blue skies and white clouds and real, warm sunlight. Lyra opened a hand to feel it. Closed her eyes to savor it, like it was the first time in a lifetime.

Coruscant had nothing for her. Just neon lights and recycled air. Here, on Ajan Kloss, it was different and better in every way. An unbelievable fantasy.

Lyra wandered onto the grass of a courtyard, smiling like a child. Almost laughing, half-dancing, across the field of green. What an incredible experience it was, that she failed to remember the girl she had been assigned to meet. Since Oren was on a busy schedule, he left touring her to a Padawan of his.

Nara, was it? She couldn’t recall.

Though she would, very soon, the second she unwittingly slammed into her side while cruising her way through the temple.

Nara had been waiting in the gardens outside the Jedi Temple, taking in the air a little. Yes, it was kinda thick and full of life, but it was starting to feel just a little bit more home-like. Say what you would about the nostalgic quality of the air on Nar Shaddaa, the cleaner and fresher atmosphere on Ajan Kloss was definitely better for your mood. And your lifespan.

She was waiting for a new padawan to show up. Oren, in his infinite and eternal wisdom, had decided to 'encourage' Nara to show this new one around. Said her name was Lyra and that she was a little older than her. She tried not to pout at being made a glorified babysitter but stowing her emotions and reactions away wasn't something that came naturally to her.

She headed inside, wondering if she'd missed her. Or her shuttle had been late getting her to the planet. Or... whatever could have delayed her. As much as Nara would've liked to spend all day waiting for new padawans to show up, she had studying sessions and assignments to research, designs to look over for some mission Oren wanted, plans for his ship and her droid...

All those things were running through her head when the woman smacked into her. Nara hadn't been paying much attention either and slipped with the push, falling backwards onto the rug-covered stone.

"You wanna watch where you're..." Nara started, her voice edged with aggression as she dusted herself off, before she saw who'd walked into her. Matched the description she'd been given. Typical. It'd have to be her. The force does have a sense of humour.

She stood back up, looking at the young woman in front of her. "You must be Lyra. I'm Nara. I'm meant to be showing you around? I guess you're busy doing that yourself."

Lyra heard the voice, but by then, it was too late. As she spun around to meet its source, her shoulder met another, and the girl was sent tumbling onto the patterned floor. Lyra gasped, though she instantly regained her footing, she felt a pang of regret. She’d been so caught up in the moment, so focused on the now, she hadn’t seen what was right in front of her.

Shit,” said Lyra, a touch of her city accent slipping through. “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there!

She extended a hand out to the girl but as she was already rising off the ground, Lyra drew it back and, in a sad attempt to play it off, rubbed the back of her head instead. Cheeks flushed, embarrassment threaded through her, enhanced at the realization the girl was Nara, Oren’s Padawan and her new guide.

The Force worked in mysterious, and rather humbling, ways.

Trying to laugh off the embarrassing situation, Lyra said, “Yeah, you found me! Or I found you?” God, she was an idiot. “But yeah, I’m sorry for running into you there, I got a little carried away.” She gestured to her surroundings: drooping vines and fruit-riddled branches, rising blossoms and trees she could cozy under for days. “It’s just nothing like… Coruscant.

She stopped herself from saying “home” instead, because this, Ajan Kloss, was her home now. And the Jedi? Her new family.

If they would have her, of course, and by the looks Nara was giving her, that was up for debate.

Please, though,” said Lyra. “If you could show me around, that would be amazing.

Nara huffed as stood back up, giving the new woman a little bit of a glare. That was before she remembered that hey... Lyra was new and probably in awe of the place. She'd been... well, not just like that, her first few days had been spent regarding every little bit of green and freshness sceptically, like they were hiding poison.

So she took a deep breath and rubbed the bridge of her nose, giving herself a couple of seconds.

"Yeah, I know how you feel. Everyone goes through it, believe me. I came from Nar Shaddaa, you wanna feel what kind of a whiplash that change was." She smiled softly at Lyra and nodded. "Yeah, that's what Oren asked me, so that's what I'll do." She waved her hand to get her to follow, turning on her heel.

"So yeah, welcome to the Temple. It looks big but... the stuff you'll need to know is fairly easy. Everything may look old as shit from the outside but it's kinda cosy, in a weird vines on the walls kind of way," she explained, in the best way she could. Not exactly a master of awe, wonder and language.

"So, Jedi dorms are down that way,"
Nara said, pointing towards one wing of the Temple. "You'll get assigned your own quarters and such, no rooming, which is great when you want a little alone time. Also, there's like, a hundred miles of gardens and groves and secluded areas in the grounds for when you wanna meditate and 'get in touch with the force,'" she explained, actually using finger quotes around the last part. "At least, that's what the guy padawans are calling it nowadays," she shrugged.

"Stop me if I'm going too fast for you,"
Nara said to her, looking over her should as she set off at a stride. "Next, the library and archives."

Nara might not have been a master of awe and language in her eyes, but she was in every bit to Lyra. As mundane as it seemed to point out the courtyard and quarters, Lyra was enraptured in a childlike sense of wonder in everything. The walls, the floors, the people.

Jedi with hands full of ancient tomes she imagined predated even the Republic. Trees much older than her, than her Nana, than the Free Worlds. Most of all, it was the fact that the legendary Jedi she had read in stories as a child, Rey Skywalker herself, had walked the same halls that made her jaw slack.

However, at hearing there were miles, hundreds worth, of gardens throughout the temple, Lyra was about ready to faint. She was so used to the cramped spaces in Coruscant, from the crowded city streets to the tight walls and the low ceiling of her bedroom.

What could she possibly do with all this space to herself?

Lyra blinked as she caught Nara glancing back to her, taking a moment to process what she just said, before answering, “Honestly, I lost you at ‘a hundred miles of gardens,’ but please, keep going. I just… I just can’t believe this is all real. I keep pinching myself but I don’t know why I’m not waking up. It’s so…

Finally, she processed what Nara said last, and it was like her words had cracked her head wide open. “Wait, a library?

Oh, God. She could feel her death just around the corner.

"Yeah, overwhelming, right? There's just stuff everywhere, I mean, Jedi aren't the greatest cleaners so..." Nara started to say, as she noticed the starry-eyed look on Lyra's face when she mentioned the library. She frowned, wondering why Lyra had the look on her face that Nara had when people mentioned food, or droid upgrades.

"Yeah, a library. Wanna see?"
she asked her, poking her thumb towards the entrance. It was probably the greatest pride of the Temple, she'd been told. She wouldn't necessarily agree, but eh. "It's through here." Nara lead the way a little further into the large central part of the Temple, through an archway into... the library.

Shelves upon shelves of writings, books (holo- and the rare actual books), as well as terminals for searching the archives and checking out other things. "Yeah, it's very focused on whatever old teachings the Jedi've been able to find, but there's all sorts of stuff in here," Nara told her, hands on her hips. "You wanna find out what Jedi Master Ooog Booloog had for his brunch after a short illness over three thousand years ago, well look no further!"

The lax attitude Nara was giving only passed right over Lyra’s head and she remained half-listening and half-admiring the tremendous scale of the temple. She read stories about old temples, large and small, and even a leaked journal describing the very one she now walked through, but nothing described did the temple any justice.

It was more than she imagined. Much more than she dreamed of.

Then, she saw the library.

The blood drained from her face. It was like a speeder had slammed full force into her side, and her jaw was left gaping wide in awe. It was in that moment her spirit had left her body. She had died and gone to heaven, that was certain.

The Jedi archives were a hundred times greater in size and a wealth of books compared to the library she once worked back on Coruscant. Shelves of ancient tomes and scripts, untouched for what could be centuries, filled with limitless knowledge. Books she could spend the rest of her life reading.

Jedi Master Ooog Booloog?” said Lyra, astonished. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them before, but that sounds incredible!

Nara’s heavy-handed sarcasm had flown right past her.

Everything here’s just… incredible,” she said, like she were about to cry. “Thank you for showing me this, Nara. Thank you so much.

Truly, Lyra was grateful, but to an outsider, she likely came off as more insufferable than endearing.

Oh yeah, she's one of those people. Nara thought back to Izel and Ke Eoto, both padawans who loved learning and practically lived in the library. The ones in her study group who did most of the actual studying, rather than just complaining about the Knights. Lyra was gonna fit in well with them, she could tell that easily.

"I didn't mean... there wasn't actually an Ooog Booloog.." Nara started to say, but then stopped and rolled her eyes. She didn't care, and knowing the twisted, fragmented history of the Jedi Order over the centuries, there probably had been about thirty-sixMaster Ooog Booloogs.

"Hey, it's no problem. It's just the library. You were gonna find it sooner or later. You want to look around some? I don't know where everything is but I know some stuff," Nara explained to her, setting off on a slow walk, flanked by high shelves stuffed full of ancient texts.

"A lot of the stuff here is focused on Jedi teachings and the Force, but there's still other stuff too, a little ways down." She pointed off into the distance, down the vast library. "There's some gaps in things too, apparently we're not that great at discovering our own past here, so there's like, fragments of most things."

They came to a break in the shelves, showing some terminals between them. "There's some records to search there, and translation programming. Lots of the texts are written in different languages. Ancient and modern. I wouldn't wanna decode that by hand," she admitted, shrugging. "They work pretty fast. The library staff can help you but I'd ask real nicely, you don't wanna get on their bad side."

Lyra was too wide-eyed and dumbstruck to actually listen to half of what Nara was telling her. The shelves around her were twice her height, fitted with ladders and steps, but what fascinated her the most was how rarely they were used, because roaming Jedi instead called upon the Force to grab whatever books they needed. One simply floated by her, the pages splayed open, and she watched it go by.

She was caught in a spell, the whole library like an enchanted maze. A maze she didn’t think she would ever leave, and only because she’d never want to.

Books about the Force? Jedi teachings?” Lyra echoed after Nara, though her voice rang with much more interest. “Incredible.

Her eyes continued to wander, never fixed onto one spot until the endless rows of shelves ended, momentarily replaced by several terminals. Archive databases. She was familiar with them, and descended onto one like a starved hawk, immediately scrolling through.

Wait,” she said, and as she retreated back from the terminal, her mindset instantly switched back to the same Coruscant girl she always was. “There’s people who work here? Where are they? Oh god, are they hiring?

She paused to take a breath, reminding herself to stay in control. She was a Jedi now, not a city rat. Still, she couldn’t believe this was really happening.

Man,” said Lyra, laughing, before adding unironically, “If there really is a library staff, I think they’re going to hate me.

"Oh yeah, there's always people here. Jedi are super keen on making sure everyone can access the old teachings and stuff." Nara shrugged like it was only natural. She was kinda enjoying being the knowledgeable one for once, acting like everything here was completely accepted and worked well... even though she hadn't been there all that long herself. Long enough to settle, to train some and get used to life there.

"I think they only really accept people from in the Order. I don't doubt they'd be happy for your help though." Nara showed off a little by stopping, closing her eyes slightly and feeling that tingle in her fingers. They twitched and a book slipped from a shelf above them, floating down. She grabbed it and pulled a face. "Eugh, Master Kevilka on Intricacies in the Force and Life on Ajan Kloss. Pass." Her fingers flicked in the air and the book lifted up back to the shelf.

"Yeah so uh... moving on? You can come back whenever and look in more detail. Library's open whenever anyone needs it... though honestly, you're gonna be busier than you ever thought possible." Nara certainly was these days. "And make sure you tell whoever you end up with as a master that you're into this stuff, they'll get you working on this sorta stuff. Probably plenty of Jedi who need good organisers around them. Oren is no exception either."

"Anything else you wanna ask? Or should we go up to the dorms?"

Lyra watched awestruck as Nara effortlessly pulled a book off the shelf and into her hands through the Force.

She herself had only tapped into the Force once, back on Coruscant, when Oren found her. The experience was a violent one, unleashed in a desperate attempt to protect herself, but to see the Force used in other ways, as a tool and aid, it relieved her. Perhaps, there was nothing to be afraid about, especially under the care of the Jedi.

Nodding as Nara went on, Lyra said, “I sure will. I don’t know who exactly my Master will be, but Oren did mention someone named… Yoddle? Funny name, but I’m excited to see what they might have in store for me.

She smiled, relaxed around the other Padawan, stuffing her hands in her pockets. Before she could ask her to continue further, onto the dorms, that was when she felt it.

The data chip. The drive she stole from the thugs on Coruscant.

Carefully, she slipped the file out of her pocket. Such a tiny thing worth so much, enough to kill for, at least according to the man who tried. Whatever was stored inside, Lyra hadn’t a clue, but she hoped to find out soon enough.

Nara,” she said, holding up the drive in-between two fingers. “Do you know where I might be able to access this? I think.. it’s encrypted, or something.

"Oh, Yoddle? Yeah, he's a knight... I don't really know him but I've seen him around. You kinda can't miss him... well, no, you can, he's the small, green guy. He's a... wait, what do they call them?" Nara wondered aloud, a confused look on her face before she shook her head. "Doesn't matter. He'd be a cool master and he'd be lucky to have you."

Nara looked at the drive as Lyra raised it up. Her eyes narrowed as she took it in. It was kinda... super small. Smaller than the ones she was used to. Lyra seemed a little worried about it, which made Nara curious. Wary too, but mostly curious.

"Depends how encrypted it is. I mean, I'm sure some of the Masters have contacts to some really good slicers but uh... maybe not. We could try it on one of the terminals here." She waved over towards them before stepped back, slipping into the seat in front of one. She took her own datapad out of her bag and laid it on the table in front of it, tapping her fingers on it.

"Gimme a sec..." she muttered, logging into the Temple's systems under her own username. "'Kay, slot it into the datapad and the archives'll match it with any common encryption decoders we've got saved." She looked around quickly for a second, checking nobody else was nearby. "And yeah, if something bad happens this is under my name so uh... this better not be something dirty."

Small and green, the thought piqued her interest, her mind falling back to another old legend, a former Grandmaster of the preceding Jedi Order, before the Skywalkers. Historian accounts had given him the same descriptions: wrinkled, wise, two feet tall, green. Lyra wondered if that meant she’d be under the wings of someone similar. Someone who could best understand her.

But that didn’t matter right now. What mattered was the data drive, and what secrets laid inside.

She was led back to the very terminals she had just left, but this time, Nara accessed the temple systems, bringing up a new page. Lyra held tight onto the data file, before slotting it into the data pad at Nara’s request.

Got it,” she said, and the chip clicked into place.

Though as Nara looked around, so did Lyra. Nobody was watching them, nobody bothered to notice, but she was paranoid. What might be in the drive, she couldn’t say. Syndicate secrets, drug routes, stolen Alliance files? Or even worse: something lewd.

Um,” she said nervously, with a sharp intake of breath. “Yeah, about that…

I actually have no idea what’s in it, but I found, or really took, it from a shady-looking thug. He tried to kill me to get it back, but Oren saved me. I guess that little drive is the whole reason why I’m even here, but I’m hoping to find out what it was that man was trying to hide.

Nara watched in plug in and saw the screen light up on the pad. She tapped a couple of times on it and then turned back to the terminal, getting everything connected together. Easy enough. Then she heard the story of where it came from and stopped, looking over her shoulder.

"Uh... you sure we should be looking this up? I mean, if it's gonna be that dangerous? Could be some guy's secret accounts or his stash locations. Could just be private vids of... well, y'know," she said, rolling her eyes and shrugging. "Though that's not likely if he wanted to kill you. Unless they were really good vids."

Relenting a little, she tapped the keyboard of the terminal and watched the decryption program work. Scattered Arabesh flicked by as it tried various different commercial standards and decoder algorithms.

"Now we just gotta hope that it fi..." she started to say, before she was interrupted by a beep and a new screen. It'd found the right avenue.

DECODING INPUT DEVICE.... 89%... 94%.... 97%.... COMPLETE.

"Uh well... bullseye, I guess. You wanna do the honours?" she asked, pushing the stool out of the way.

Lyra watched the terminal screen with great interest, and deep anxiety, not knowing what secrets was about to be laid right at their feet. Two Padawans, who hadn’t a clue, with little experience dealing in that kind of situation. They ought to have given the drive to a Knight, or even the Council, for inspection.

Nara and Lyra were in over their heads.

Still, it didn’t stop her from continuing the decryption. Didn’t stop her nodding at Nara’s request, or from sliding into her open seat. Didn’t stop her from wandering her hand over to the keyboard and pressing her finger into the confirmation key. Lyra had to get to the bottom of this whole conspiracy. She had to finish what she started back on Coruscant.

The screen shifted. Pieces of the puzzle were scattered across it.

Folders. Hundreds of digital folders. Almost all of them were marked with names, human or alien, in a dozen other languages. Lyra blinked, unsure at what it was she was looking at, before she opened one of the files to see the face of a young woman, with watery eyes and a bruise on her temple. What really caught Lyra’s attention was the slave collar she wore around her neck.

Below the image was information. Name, physical descriptions, planet of origin, a general profile, and in bold: a price.

Her heart sank into her stomach, knotted and churned, like she were going to vomit. Quickly, Lyra closed out the file and began to scroll through the folders. There were dozens, over a hundred, of them. So many names. Too many.

No,” said Lyra, a lump in her throat. “No. This is… this isn’t right. What is this?

But she already knew the answer. What she was looking at was a database of illegal trafficking. People being sold at the highest bidding like cattle. This was slavery.

Nara raised an eyebrow at what she saw. Folders that didn't make sense. When clicked, she saw the picture and her eyes went wide. The bruise and the slave collar. Holy shit.

"Oh. Oh crap," she said quietly. Her eyes just took it all in, horrorstruck. Too overwhelmed to even make a smart comment. How could you with all that staring you in the face? It was awful. It was vile. It was... immense.

"This... this is... oh fu... we gotta take this to someone. The Knights, the council, someone who can deal with this," Nara said quickly, looking over her shoulder at Lyra. "This is insane. We can't keep this to ourselves. No way we can." Though it was tempting to do something about it, Nara had just enough sense about her to know that running into something like this head-first, with no thought, as padawans? Yeah, not happening.

"We take this to Oren. Or someone else. Anyone else." Her face was stony and serious. "You took this off someone on Coruscant?"

What was contained in the drive was much more than she anticipated. A slave trafficking ring, based in the underground heart of Coruscant. She had known and even witnessed many terrible crimes on the city-plastered world, but this… it was too much. Quickly, she ripped the data file out from its plug and the screen reverted to its original state. She turned off the terminal too, though, for safe measure.

I didn’t know,” said Lyra, trying to explain, feeling like she had been caught doing something wrong in spite of her good intentions. “I didn’t think what I took meant this…

Her words trailed away, pulled out of her mouth and into the earth, the gravity of the situation too great to bear. Lyra wished she hadn’t seen what was on the drive, to just have given it to Oren back on Coruscant. In fact, she wished she hadn’t taken it in the first place. It might have brought her to the Jedi, but she wasn’t prepared to deal with something this big.

No, there was a reason to it. The Force had to have known. They had to do something.

But you’re right,” Lyra said, holding the drive tightly. “We have to show this to the Council. Someone in charge. Do you know where Oren is? Or, how can we get an audience with the Council?

However, little did either of them know the Jedi had already left. Gone, for some mission to Utapau. As for the Council? That would be a whole other story.

Everything she'd seen on there shocked her to her very core. And she'd grown up on Nar Shaddaa, for goodness sake. Lyra looked down at her as she sat there, running her fingers through her hair. That was the play, right? Master Oren, the council, anyone that could help. Because they were just two padawans, right?

"How do we get ahold of the Council? Uh... I have absolutely no idea. We... ask? Send them a message through the HoloNet? Knock on the council chamber door really loudly?" she suggested, slowly heading into the realm of the absurd.

"Look, I'll... see if I can get ahold of anyone, okay? And if we can't..." What could they do, if they can't? Obviously not let it die. They couldn't just leave it. That'd be awful. Awful and wrong.

"Look, we can get a shuttle out there. We could always tell the Sector Rangers or something?"

Lyra shared the same level of uncertainty as Nara, unsure of what laid ahead for them and the drive in their possession. What the information contained would be more than enough for the Jedi to pursue and put an end to the slave trafficking ring, but did they even have the time, or the effort? The Sith investigation, the current political landscape in the Free Worlds.

Lyra had only been with the Order for no more than a day, but even she knew, at least from what Oren told her, how rare the Council made an appearance. Would they really hear out a thieving Padawan and a sixteen year-old girl about a slave ring likely outside their jurisdiction? The chances were low.

I stole this drive on Coruscant,” said Lyra. “But from what we saw, this ring extends across the Outer-Rim. They could be anywhere.

Her thoughts fell back to the Sector Rangers. She too had heard about the Jedi’s relationship with them, and nothing good. Day by day, it continued to worsen, especially after recent news of an attack.

“I don’t know if the Rangers will help us either. Honestly, I don’t know if anyone will.” Lyra was dejected, afraid, but she and Nara knew they couldn’t sit around and wait for Oren’s return, or the approval of the bureaucratic Council. “But we have to do something.

She glanced over to Nara. “Right?

"All across the Outer-Rim..." she muttered, thinking about it. A plan was forming in her head. Coruscant might be a little out of their league, she didn't want to wrangle with Sector Rangers. A couple of padawans turning up, running around with their evidence, would do nothing but antagonise them even more. Nara didn't much fancy being shoved in a cell by them for getting in the way.

"We can send what we know to the Rangers and then... I don't know, the Rangers don't really operate much on the Outer Rim..." Nara thought aloud, drumming her fingers as she chewed her lip. "So... we can go and try and do something. Stop part of it. Try and get more evidence. Do something." It wasn't like her to acknowledge the limits of her own ability, or someone elses, but they were dealing with criminals, slave rings and human trafficking. Not floating rocks and fighting with laser swords.

"We'll take down part of it. We can do that much," Nara suggested, looking up at Lyra. We have to. We really have to.


Maybe one post and we end it? We can start something up on another planet and run through them shutting down that part of it there.
