Coruscant Security Force Academy
Indoor assault course
The indoor assault course didn't change too much over the decade that Nykoria had spent on Ajan Kloss. Sure, the paint and colors were different; but thanks to her gift, the Zeltron Jedi could recognize some of those damned obstacles. There were the tires where she got her first sprain; the rope which she used to climb faster than anyone else in class; even the climbing wall where she and Liam... Relax. It was in another lifetime. For a moment, a dreamy mood hit Kori; a part of her was glad that the people assembled couldn't see her expression and a wide smile under the enclosed helmet.
It felt weird concealing her face at the place where she used to study. But Kori had more reasons than one for that: scarred face, concern for the safety of her parents, and the presence of some people who could recognize the rather famous dropout. Some of the reasons she had shared with the Commandant; luckily, the old man agreed. For that reason, he wouldn't even share the Zeltron's name with the public.
"You all know about the recent attacks," the old officer addressed the line of cadets. They tried to remained professional, but every once in a while a cadet or another glanced curiously at the armor-clad woman by the Commandant's side. Even without seeing the glances, Kori could feel the questions and concerns of the people assembled. "You might also have heard that they were led by Sith. An ancient and dangerous cult bent on world domination." It didn't take a Zeltron to notice a shift in the audience, and an occasional whisper. Having the practical and to-the-point Commandant speculate about stuff of legends was unheard of.
"The worst part is that it's true. And they do have those superhuman powers you'd hear about," the whispers among the younger cadets became louder, and even the Commandant didn't try to stop them. Instead, he continued with his speech: "That's why the Jedi approached me to use our academy as a training facility against the Sith, both for you and other law-enforcement branches." The Commandant took a glance at the masked woman, before finishing: "For now, it's all voluntary. But it's wise of you to come. Even if you just learn a thing or two from the Jedi and the Sector Rangers who come here, it might make the difference between life or death in the field. Carry on, Master Jedi." With that, the Commandant gave the armored woman one last nod—one could swear that he accompanied it with a brief encouraging smile—before leaving the course.
Relax, it's just like teaching Padawans... And whatever Masters... I mean, Sector Rangers who decided to attend. The Jedi took a step forward and spoke for the first time. The mask made her voice rasp; hopefully, nobody who trained here a dozen years ago would recognize the Zeltron by her voice alone. "Well, the... Commandant nailed it," Kori barely avoided calling him "the old man", like back during her academy years. "The goal of this extra course is to try and show you how to take on dangerous enemies. Particularly, Force-users such as the Sith. So, any questions before we get started?"
