Chaos, Yet Harmony
Dice Roll - 48 Hour Posting Limit​

Oren and his company of students had survived their trials within the confines of the cave, each struggled and fought with their own demons. Some succeeded while others faltered. It seemed that the force had lead them into the confines of a dark lava valley, one that was filled with twisting canyons, and lava streams. Throughout bodies were stranded encased in obsidian rock.

This devastation and reminder of the peril of the planet had been the cause of the wound that they felt, the lingering darkness. All around the valley were the remnants of the old Imperial Mining operations. The trail seemed sparse and quite deadly, but off in the distance the temple could be seen. The Jedi knight in their presence would be able to feel the disturbance and pain of his fellow teacher and his students, but they were still alive. Together the three of them would have to travel through the valley, using the force to guide them, and to recognize the puzzle through the chaos.

The ground rumbled beneath their feet as they entered the valley of what appeared to be utter hell. Molten cracked and oozed from the orifice of the mountains, as if the planet was slowly bleeding away. Ashen storms filled the sky, and crackles of thunder boomed and shuttered, matching the seismic rumbling under their feet. To see the world in such decay was devastating to the near human Jedi.

The pain that he felt clinging to the surface of the planet still lingered in the air and as the group walked they would slowly begin to realize why. Bodies had morphed into the rock, frozen in place from the volcanic activity. He could feel their cries and fear, each one of them a near ghost that suffocated and filled the Jedi with dread. Calm yourself, these students need you.

He could see the remnants of the Praxeum off in the distance, whatever they had been searching for had not been in vain. He could feel Maxims and the others presence somewhere on the opposite end of the valley. He could sense a tiredness and even a twinge of pain, something had to have happened.

He would peer towards his students, giving them both a smile, but deep down he was just as nervous as they were. "This looks interesting." He'd respond as they came up to what appeared to be the remnants of an old imperial walking platform, that fell. The gap was too big to jump across on their own.

Oren's eyes scanned over the scene of the crime, noting what appeared to be a damaged Imperial Walker that had crashed through the bridge in an attempt to escape. Something had tripped it up, and caused it to fall, but he could see a few wiring and cables hanging from it.

Hmm, he'd contemplate what the logistics of a fall would mean, his eyes peering down into the darkness. Picking up a small piece of rubble, he would toss it into the dark depths. It seemed to fall for a good few seconds before the sound of it crashing against the floor below. "At least it's not lava," he'd say with a soft nervous laugh, It'd still hurt.

"Wait here, and if I fall, don't come for me." He'd smile. As he peered out towards the cable that dangled from the walker. It didn't seem strong, but he had no choice really. Calling out with the force, he would bring the cable to him. Sparing no time, he would take a running start, his breath squeezing tight as he flung himself across the ledge. Don't snap, don't snap, don't snap. His insides screamed as he arced through the air, gaining just enough momentum to jump towards the other side.

He would roll to a gentle stop, taking a deep breath as he pulled himself up. "Well...that was easy," he'd smile as he waved across to the students, "But, don't try that." He would quickly take a look around the area for something that would allow them to cross. Boom, there we go.

Off to the side sat an old DLC-13 Mining Droid, which had been powered off, with several crates in hand. "Well, this may work," he'd say as he made his way over towards the droid. If he had learned anything from Nara, it was about turning on useless drunk.

His hands would fumble against the large droid, his hand reaching towards a power coupling and snapping it into place. With a groan the droid would awaken. and come alive and slowly began to hover. With a gentle guidance through the force, Oren would help ease the droid over the walkway. It's large flat head would provide enough space for the two of them to quickly hop on and across. Before, it moved off with its own protocol.

With the two of them quickly across the platform they could begin again. But, it seemed that things would not be so simple and the three of them would eventually be split for the time being. As they began to descend on the other side of the valley, it seemed the old mining operation would quickly come back to life. "Did someone turn on the power?"

He would yell as the large cutters began to shake and crush across the mountain side, causing it to tumble and vibrate. Rocks would begin to fall and the three of them would have to dive and separate themselves. Both Xander and Oren fell and tumbled down the canyon side. While Izel remained above. The path before her was now gone, but before her a new path would be torn into an old Imperial substation. Who knew what electrical components were still active, but maybe she could find a way to climb and squeeze through to the other side of the valley. Xander would find himself within a valley of old homes that seemed to be built into the side of the mountains. All around him the dead sat like dormant statues. He would have to find a way through the catacombs and old village, using the force to get back to his friends.

OOC: Alright guys, let's have some fun. Go with the flow and try to climb and maneuver through things for the next 3 to 4 posts. Look up footage of fallen order's platforming to get inspiration on the type of fun that should be had here. If you roll bad, take some damage, if you roll critically bad, break an ankle, an arm or something of the likes. Just try and let the dice guide you, and we'll meet back up for the last half of the thread. If you get seriously hurt, I'll think of a creative way to carry you on to the last thread.

This thread will end in a failure if for some reason we all critically break our bones.

Izel was still reserved and distant from her trial in the cave, her thoughts dwelling on the nightmare made of her own ambitions. She followed the other Jedi with her head down, deep in rumination. She felt the emotions of the dead closing on her but shut them out of her mind, not even paying attention to the bodies encased in stone. It was unusual for her to cut herself off so completely, but it was clear she was having trouble coping with what she had experienced. She was so wrapped up in self-pity that she nearly bumped into Oren when he stopped before the canyon.

Finally forced to look up the Vratix scanned over the scene before them coolly, still not bothering to speak up. She knew she could jump farther than most species, and even farther still when assisted by the Force, but there was no way she could see herself getting across such a massive gap. When Oren suggested he might fall she became nervous, and wanted to speak up, but ended up keeping her reservations to herself. She watched with great fear and concern as the Knight swung across the gap, letting out a relieved sigh as she reached the other side. Waiting patiently she jumped on the mining droid with Xander as it came to take them across, then fell back into her dazed state as she continued following Oren.

The sudden screeching and whirring of machinery coming back to life demanded her attention, and the Vratix looked around with shock and confusion as the unmanned mining equipment began to continue it's work. Her senses alerted her to the falling rubble above them and she managed to hop away in time, scrabbling up onto a ledge as her companions tumbled deeper into the valley.

"Master Zapan!" She cried as she peered over the ledge, but the dust and ash from the chaotic machinery obscured her vision. "Xander?" She shouted next, but still received no answer. She reached out with the Force, and felt that they were both still alive and relatively unhurt. With a sigh of relief the Padawan stood up and surveyed her new surroundings. There was no way down from where she was now. She would have to find another path to reunite with her comrades. Fortunately the machinery had plowed open a passageway into an abandoned substation. It would be a tight fit, but she could make it. "I'll find you at the Praxeum!" She shouted over the ledge, hoping the others would hear her, then turned and entered the building.

Although there were no evil spirits here the substation had dangers of it's own. Electric wiring had been exposed from years of neglect and hung everywhere, and the now operational station had brought power back into those wires. Sparks flew as the black cords swayed in the wind, making the path forward very unappealing. "This planet is just... The worst..." Izel clicked miserably before beginning to carefully analyze the path before her. Thankfully her insectoid anatomy and experience jumping through the jungles of Thyferra had prepared her surprisingly well for such a scenario as this. Slowly but surely the young Vratix began jumping this way and that, avoiding the wires by climbing around or over them on the non-electrified walls. "I should see if there's any way to turn off this equipment..." She thought aloud as she carefully maneuvered deeper and deeper into the station.

Well this day keeps getting better, Xander said to himself as he fell down the canyon side. Or at least that's the version he would admit to in polite society.

As he got to his feet at the bottom of the fall, a potent mix of mining dust and volcanic ash began to fill the air and attacked his lungs and eyes.

He was aware of the grotesque statues which were ahead of him but were now disappearing into the thickening cloud.

As he coughed and spluttered, he realised he could not stay still to catch his bearings as rocks dislodged above were now following him down the hillside.

He made a start forward, doing his best to remember where the trip hazards were, feeling with the force.

His powers were weak, however, following his emotional ordeal in the cave. He darted left, left, right then right again and then...oof

That last one was a misstep. He was caught by a calcified arm right on the ankle sending him spiralling forwards.

To add insult to injury, one of the falling boulders bounced up at the foot of the hill, landing square on his now exposed legs, pinning him down.

Xander could do little but scream.

He did not know what damage had been done, but he certainly could not move the rock from his legs to free himself alone.

Things were not looking well it seemed. One moment he was standing beside the students, the next he was tumbling down the side of the soot canyon, rolling and twisting a few times as his body braced for impact at the base as he crashing to a halt. His robes were slightly torn and caked in black ash. His body ached and groaned as he pulled himself up. "This is going to hurt in the morning." He'd mumble to himself as he wiped a bit off of his shoulders.

Izel would call out from above, "Go on and find another way around," he'd yell out, but through the commotion of the large cutters tearing through the mountain, it seemed that she would have unlikely heard him. With a soft sigh he would take a look around all of the commotion and various objects falling from the side of the mountain. There was so much stress here, it was enough to stress even the oldest of masters.

Across a small in the canyon, the path towards what appeared to be a village chiseled into the mountainside could be seen trembling. Rocks slowly fell along the path, crashing into the lava and causing goops of fire to bubble and burst in the air, the heat nearly melting across his exposed skin. Seeing no other choice he would pick up his pace, his feet dashing along the soot trail. His eyes would trail over the large boulders that were falling.

If Nara was here, she would have surely called him crazy. This is the only way I can get across. He'd take a deep breath, channeling the force to his feet as he jumped towards one of the falling boulders, his feet gracefully hitting it as he ran across the side of it, hopping when he reached the end to an adjacent falling rock. He would take a deep breath as he leapt from the rock towards the trail, though something caught his attention, a disturbance in the force--Did someone get hurt?

He couldn't prepare in time and as he came crashing down into the dirt, his impact was too hard and his left foot twisted slightly, causing a surging pain to run through it; it was a sprain. He'd hold his leg for a moment, grimacing, but knew that the lives of his students outlived any pain he may have been feeling. Hobbling slightly as he did so, he would begin down the path, slowly and in pain.

OOC: Rolled a 33, I'll have one more round before I can reach Xander.

Izel crawled through a busted doorway into the end of the substation, finding herself before a mechanical console. Immediately the Padawan scurried over, looking at the terminal closely to see if there was any way to shut down the facility. The interface was foreign to her, and the young Vratix quickly resorted to pressing random buttons in the hopes it would give her the result she wanted. Unfortunately all she got was more sparks before the console went dark.

"Really?" The Padawan blurted out in frustration. "This is the one thing that isn't working? Ugh!" Throwing up her arms in defeat she turned away from the console, instead moving over to a viewing window. Outside she could see more of the mining facility, with conveyor belts moving piles of ground minerals from one end of the massive chamber to the other. Looking for a way into this area Izel found a pair of metal blast doors. Reaching out with the Force she was able to pry them open and approached the ledge. It was a long way down, likely enough to kill her. But this seemed the fastest way up. Taking a deep breath Izel targeted the next platform above her and crouched down low before leaping up to it.

As she landed safely the Vratix let out a heavy sigh of relief before glancing over the edge again. It was a very long way down. Looking up again she saw the network of conveyor belts crisscrossing across the chamber. And in the distance high above another observation platform and a doorway leading into another part of the facility. Readying herself once more she leapt up again, and again, and again, moving from one platform to the next with surprising ease. She was getting into a rhythm now, feeling more and more like she was at home surprisingly. Her senses were on high alert, her antennae twitching as they sensed everything around her. Were she not worried for her life and those of her companions she might have actually been enjoying herself.

"Master Zapan, Xander," She whispered to herself as she got closer to the observation platform, privately aware that she was getting further away from them and could sense them less and less in the chaos. "Oh please be alright..."

Xander fought back tears - both from physical pain and the realisation that once again he was a burden on the master he was so desperate to impress.

In this agitated state, he was not able to muster the concentration even to attempt to lift the boulder in the force. In his frustration he fumbled for his lightsaber at his belt - to no avail.

As time wore on with no assistance - for what seemed like an age, but may have been only seconds - he suddenly realised he could no longer feel his legs.

Despair crept up on him as a single tear rolled uncontrollably down his helpless cheek.

They were so close, he could feel the temple calling to them, but it seemed with each step the planet was testing them more. There flesh and body was being wounded, beaten and broken. The spirits strained as they made their great pilgrimage of strife and pain. Maybe this was the way it was supposed to be all along, to experience the pain that the Order, the Galaxy, and its people have felt, from the governments, from the wars, and even from the Jedi themselves.

Oren couldn't be exact, but this is what he came to believe. He could feel Xander's pain through the force, echoing and screaming out. With each limping step he would pick up pace, nearly breaking out into a hobbled sprint. The cutters would roar from the old Mining station above them, causing the earth to buckle and break underneath the Jedi and slowly it would begin to slope forward into a landfall.

Oren would pull his lighstaber, igniting it as he slid forward on two feet, striking a large boulder that was in his way and surely would have crushed him. With all his force he swung, but with the hectic motion as the rock began to crumble before him his saber would fly from his hand into the depths of the ashes. Kriff... He wasn't sure how he'd explain that one, but there wasn't much time to worry about that now.

He would shift his feet to the side, his hands stretching out before him as he surfed along the soot and ash, his body leaning into the turns and grades. It was quite fun, but scary at the same time. He would quickly find himself descending upon a ledge--he would jump out and land on the ground with a gentle roll.

As the dust began to settle he would find Xander pinned under a pile of rubble. He could see the tears pouring from the ash covered face, and Oren could only feel sadness for the boy. "Hold on, we're going to get you out of there."

He would center himself, his hands reaching out with the force. As if tiny threads reached out, they would slowly wrap around the large statue that pinned the boy down. His fingers slowly twitched and moved as he applied a grip through the force. His eyes closed and his face winced as he drew upon all the power he had, pulling the stone into the air. As his arm moved so would the heavy object. He could feel the energy seeping from him and slowly he would bring the stone down, as he gasped for air.

He would limp towards the boy, his eyes shifting away from the boy's lower half. "This may hurt," he'd say with a soft tone, though his voice betrayed the concern he had for him. His hands would wrap around the boy's shoulder's dragging him away from the rubble. He would bend down onto his knees, his face turning away as he took the crushed legs and wrapped them around his own waist, "I'm sorry," he'd say as the boy would latch onto him. "I'm going to get you out of here." The student was heavy and all the energy he had was slowly fading himself. Hopefully Izel was okay.
OOC: Well things are going to get much more interesting, but we're onto the full stretch, we're close guys!

Izel could see the observation platform just above her. One more jump and she would finally be out of here! In her eagerness to escape the mining facility however she didn't take a good look at her destination. If she had she would have noticed the observation deck had rusted through and was barely being supported under the weight of a large number of crates and boxes that had been left on it.

The Padawan crouched down low once more and leapt, making a smooth landing on the platform. With a satisfied click she brushed herself off and took two steps before the entire platform groaned and shifted beneath her feet. The young Vratix stood dead in her tracks, antennae twitching with unease. "Oh no..." She muttered. Before she could make a break for the door the platform gave way, falling out from right beneath her feet. She fell down on the surface with a grunt and rolled along the platform as it pitched downwards, getting tangled in a mess of unused electrical cords that had been scattered about the platform with the other materials.

She was sent flying into the air, and would have fallen to certain death, had she not had the instinct to reach out desperately with the Force. A hanging cable same to her palm and she grabbed onto it immediately. What she didn't notice was that her legs were still tangled in the electrical cords, which had been caught up with a pair of heavy crates as well. The cable she was holding snapped taut, and Izel let out a terrible scream as her arm was nearly torn from it's socket with the weight. The pain that shot through her body she nearly past out right then and there, but she managed to fight on through this dazed state. Looking down she could see the crates that were tangled with her, dragging her down. Her grip was slipping on the cable, she had only moments to act. Wearily she lifted her free arm, and with immense effort managed to use the Force to untangle the cords around her legs and let the crates drop to the ground far below.

Immediately she grabbed onto the cable with both hands, panting from fatigue and cringing through the still throbbing pain in her dominant arm. She didn't know how badly it was injured, but she knew it would be of little use to her for the time being. The Padawan just hung there in the air for a few moments, trying to catch her breath. Eventually she mustered the strength to start swinging herself, back and forth, back and forth, slowly gaining momentum. She kept her focus on the doorway where the platform had used to be, getting closer and closer until she finally let go of the cable, flinging herself onto the bottom of the doorway. She managed to grab on with her good arm and scrabble with her legs up onto the doorway, immediately collapsing in the next room.

Once she had regained her breath she slowly got up and shambled forward, finding herself in what seemed to be a control room with a window looking out over the valley. Unfortunately these controls also seemed to be inoperable. "Blast..." She said with a sigh, rubbing her injured arm. "There's nothing I can do..." She looked up through the window. Not too far away was the Praxeum. No matter what else happened she had to get there, or all of this was for nothing. With a determined expression Izel turned and left the room, ready to face whatever came next.

There were times in life, where one would be tested beyond a doubt. Their spirit would be pushed to the fires, their code of morality challenged, their resolution wavering. It was through these small windows that one could catch a passing glance of who they truly were as a person. It seemed today was one of those days, nothing had gone correct, he had failed his students by bringing them here and now one of them was lost, the other's legs completely crushed and the other students just completely vanished. You'll deal with the consequences when you get out of this..for now focus on the task at hand and get to the students and everything else will sort itself out.

He peered back towards the rumbling and the heat waves pouring from the cracks with the obsidian. I am one with the force, and the force is with me. I am its ally and it will guide me through these darktimes. He would take a deep breath as he held on tightly to the boy who seemed to be unconscious from the ordeal. "Don't worry, I'm going to get you out of here," he would say in a gentle tone, his eyes full of determination. "I don't leave comrades behind."

He would peer up the mountain of tumbling ruins, knowing that it was the only way up. He'd only get one chance, and one mistake would most likely lead to the boy and his own death, but there was no time to worry about that now. He would limp towards the base of the mountainside, his hands clasping against the scorching rock--his face wincing as he felt a hissss against the skin. He would slowly move his hand up the mountainside, pulling it into a crack as he pulled his feet onto the mountain--slowly climbing one horrid attempt at a time.

The weight from the boy, who latched onto his back made his movement slow and dangerous, with little energy left for the force, he knew that it was going to take everything it could to make it out of this. Just keep going... His mind would force him to focus as he inched up the mountain with each little step. He could feel rocks tumbling and falling, nearly clipping the two of them, but he would continue on. His muscles screamed and ached, and it felt like the skin on the palm of his hand had been charred away. But, he was nearly there. Come on now...Come on...

And that was when he felt the light, his hands gripped against the top of the ledge, he would grunt in pain as he used all the upper body strength he could to pull himself up onto the ledge, crawling slowly through the soot and ash. "Gah..." He'd pant as he felt his body drenched in sweat, safely on top of the mountain ledge, away from the rumbling and destruction of the old mine--and to make things even sweeter, the doors to the Praxeum awaited him only a few short feet away. On both of his knees, Oren would let out an exhausted laugh. Things were going to be okay. He would peer down towards his charred black hands, it would take months for the skin to recover, and most likely be scarred for the remainder--though in the coming months he would only have one hand that bore such scars.

Izel exited the observation room to find herself at the edge of the canyon. Across the valley she could make out the ruins of the Praxeum, and two figures making their way towards it. Immediately the Padawan lit up, filling with hope. "Master Zapan!" She shouted excitedly, waving her good arm in the air to try and get his attention. She could see he was carrying Xander, so he must have been injured. But at least they were all alive...

She stepped forward, nothing now but an old metal bridge separating her and her companions. But she quickly stopped as the structure creaked beneath her. She could tell immediately that it was unstable, already she could see sections of it had broken free and fallen into the canyon below. The Padawan hesitated, fearful to endanger herself again after just having injured herself, but she was so close! "I'm coming over!" She shouted to the Knight from where she stood on the edge of the bridge.

She couldn't be dissuaded. This was her last obstacle. She had come this far and she wouldn't turn back now. Slowly, cautiously, the young Vratix began inching across the bridge. It creaked and groaned with each step, and the powerful winds whipped at her mercilessly, nearly blowing her off and making the whole structure sway uneasily.

"Emotion, yet peace..." Izel whispered, and took long deep breaths. Despite her fears she managed to remain calm as she traversed the bridge, finally the lessons of Ifrane were taking root with her. She let go of all the reservations holding her back and just let the Force guide her across the gap. Unfortunately the Force had no intentions of making things easy for her.

Getting about halfway way across Izel stepped on a section of the bridge before jumping back with a gasp as it broke free and fell into the canyon far below. The sections attached to it were dragged down too, creating a domino effect that left a large hole between her and the end of the bride. The only option now was to jump. But even with her legs, and even with the aid of the Force, it was a great distance, and extremely risky. Izel looked up across the bridge, seeing Oren and the Praxeum on the other side. "Death, yet the Force." She took a deep breath, backed up a few steps, then took a running start and leapt.

The other side came closer, closer, closer, and then Izel realized just how high she had jumped. Higher than she had ever jumped before. Higher than she believed she could land unscathed. "Oh dear..." She chittered out before slamming into the other side of the bridge, and hearing the sound of one of her legs breaking. Oren wouldn't have heard her scream, only see his side of the bridge screech and collapse as the Padawan landed on it. The structure would swing down and slam against the side of the cliff, leaving Izel hanging on precariously with her one good arm. The Padawan tried to muster the strength to call for help, but the pain was blinding. She could do nothing but hope Oren could reach her in time.

Sometimes the hardest part was simply walking through the door. Oren had lost track of how long they had been on this forsaken planet, everything hurt and he was mentally and physically exhausted. Where's Izel at? He thought to himself as he placed the wounded Xander onto the ground. His eyes would shift towards the mountain side, and that was when he saw her across from the two of them.

The bridge seemed shaky. and he was close to calling out to hold back, but it seemed in her excitement she had forgotten all reason. But, could he truly blame her? He watched as she sprinted against the metal, her feet clanking with each step. He could hear the bridge buckle and slowly crumble towards the depths below.

She had nearly made it, but he saw her hand slowly slipping off the edge and towards the depths of her death. Oren would pull himself up onto his legs, forcing them to move towards her hand. He couldn't fail this now, he had to get her up to safety just like he had with Xander. They were his students and he had failed them by bringing them here, he wasn't going to let them die now.

"Hold on," he would call out, his voice steady as he slid towards the ledge, his brown eyes peering down towards the scared student. He could see her hand swinging up towards him, he'd only get one shot to make this right. One bad grip and things would turn out terribly for her. "Grab my arm," he'd say as he held it out towards her--lowering his body as far as he could.

He sensed the hesitation in her, but she would quickly grab his arm, and he could feel the weight of her body. He slid slightly towards the edge, but he would wrap his other hand around the girl, and with what strength he could muster, he would begin to pull her up, and when she was high enough, he'd practically throw her up and onto the ledge they stood on. He had done it, they were both safe--but he was completely beat.

He would fall back onto the ash, his chest raising slightly as he felt everything slow around him. "I told..you..I..wasn't..going..to..leave..you..two.."

Izel watched as Oren appeared over the side of the cliff and offered his hand to her. The Vratix looked down at her injured arm, knowing this would hurt terribly, but she had little choice. She reached up and grabbed the Knight's hand, and struggled not to cry out as stabbing pain radiated throughout her body. He pulled with all his strength, and with Izel using her uninjured legs to help crawl up the side of the bridge they were able to get back to safety.

They both collapsed on the cliff's ledge from the effort, Izel taking a good minute or two to catch her breath before slowly rising to her feet. She put her broken leg down, testing it before hissing in pain and lifting it off the ground slightly. She looked back to Oren and bowed her head deeply.

"Thank you Master," She said respectfully, and offered him a hand up. "You know, it's time like these I'm very grateful to have an extra pair of limbs..." She said, and once they were both up the two injured and exhausted Jedi would begin shambling towards the Praxeum, stopping where Xander lay unconscious. "What in the world happened to him?" She asked the Knight with great concern, leaning down to check her fellow Padawan's condition.

Even in the darkest of times, Oren couldn't help, but feel a tinge of happiness creep over him. They all looked like kriff, they were wounded and tired, but they were alive and the door to the Praxeum was enough to help channel the light inside of him, and to keep going after so much averseity.

He would pull himself up by his charred hands limping slightly as he smiled towards Izel, "You did an amazing job, you kept your calm and found a way through all the turmoil and adversity. I'm proud of you." He would peer down towards Xander, a small frown forming on his face.

"I think he lost focus, the mining equipment destroyed the ancient village below, crumbling the blocks against his legs crushing them..." He would slowly pull the boy onto his shoulders, "He's been through so much, and it's my fault, I was the one that let you both down...and I'm sorry."

He would peer back towards the distant hectic valley, "But we've come far enough, now it's time to enter." He would slowly limp, with the heavy weight of the student in his arms. They needed to find their other Jedi and get off this rock, unknowing that a legendary master long forgotten to the Jedi was waiting...
