As the shuttle dipped down through the Vjunian atmosphere it became obviously apparent why your average person would have no interest in a planet like this. The sky was splotchy, an unappealing mix of green and brown only broken up by looming clouds. Not white clouds, though, dirty ones. Grays and blacks, like the color of the sky before a nasty storm.
And that's essentially all Vjun was, one nasty storm. The precipitation that fell wasn't water though, at least not the kind you'd think about when it came to rain. Vjun's rain was acidic, the primary reason that its surface could scarcely support any vegetation or life. Aadya was familiar with one particular flower that was able to grow on Vjun, a rose. It was sad to be so deep and so darkly red that it appeared almost black. Few had seen one in person and Aadya hoped that maybe she would be able to.
Of course, that wasn't the main reason she was coming to Vjun in the first place. She had been reading some of the older books in the Korribani library and had come across a few chapters that talked about Vjun and the potential presence of a dark side nexus. Of course, she could find little other corroborating evidence to support that, but it seemed like a wasted opportunity to not go and give it a look herself.
Aadya had enlisted the help of a fellow acolyte named Malice who would accompany her on this strange exhibition. She didn't know him, in fact the first time they had even met was when they were both boarding the shuttle, but he had caught her eye once when she saw him engaging in one of the common practice duels the Sith seemed so fond of. She figured that if anyone would be good to bring along on a potentially dangerous field trip, it was someone like Malice.
As the shuttle landed and they disembarked, Aadya spoke to the pilot. "May as well take the shuttle back up and wait for us there. No telling how long we might be gone, and I doubt sitting outside in the acid rain will do you very much good. Wouldn't want to get stranded down here."
They had landed near an area known as the Bay of Tears. In the book Aadya had read, it insinuated that the vergence of the nexus would likely be found somewhere in the labyrinthine tunnel and cave system - which was almost entirely useless information, but better than nothing.
"Not sure what we may find in the tunnels and caves," Aadya said, turning to Malice as she began heading towards what she hoped was the right direction. "There may be stuff down there that can't survive up here, which probably means its gross subtterenan mole people or something." Aada remembered back to a few weeks ago when she and her friend Zandrali had cleared out an old temple on Boz Pity. She shivered at the thought of the gross things they found in there.
As they approached the mouth of one of the larger caves, Aadya gestured forward. "After you."
