Investigations (Ask)

[Ols]

Corina made sure she arrived early to greet the two padawans. She was sending them off on a dangerous mission, with very little information. She waited in the hanger of the Jedi Temple for them to arrive.

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

Colm walked in his jedi robes flowing behind him. "Hello Corina. Where is...the other one?"

 

[Joker]

Pan strolled into the hangar, adjusting his lightsaber on his belt as he walked. Glancing around he spotted the others and hastily joined them.

"Greetings Master." Pan bowed respectfully. "And you must be Colm."

 

[Ols]

"Well," she said, "I take it you are both ready to go. May the Force be with you."

((I'm out of this thread now...just you two. Enjoy.))

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

He looked the cathar up and down. He was bigger than Colm and seemed like a nice kid. "Nice to meet you Pan." He held out a hand to shake.

 

[Joker]

Pan took the offered hand and shook it, giving his new companion a sharp toothed smile. "Nice to meet you as well."

The Cathar released the handshake and slipped the datapad Corina had given him earlier out of his pocket. "Abregado-rae. It has quite the reputation. Are you ready?"

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

"I haven't a clue what to expect. I am unaware of what our mission is could you fill me in?" He dropped his hand and reached into his cloak, pulling out his lightsaber he slipped it into his sleeve and placed it in an easily accessible pocket. It pulled the sleeve down with its weight and shrouded Colms arm. He smiled,"I like to keep it there, in case I need to get to it quickly."

 

[Joker]

Pan watched Colm switch his lightsaber around with great interest. That was certainly one way to do it.

"Weeeellllllllll..... We're investigating some murders and disappearances. Abregado-rae is a big manufacturing planet in the Abregado system. I did some reading and apparently this sort of thing isn't all that uncommon there." he said awkwardly. "Honestly I am not altogether sure what is going on myself but I guess we should start by heading there and doing some investigating."

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

Colm bowed in a joke, "Yuo first ma lord!" He made a sweeping motion with his arms to tell Pan to move. "Are you a pilot or shall the droid do it?"

 

[Joker]

"I am thinking it would be best to let the droid do it. Unless you're interested in crashing before we even take off." Pan grinned, approaching the ship they were to take. "Piloting is not one of my skills."

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

He fell in step with him Pan and they entered the ship. Telling the droid, "Start 'er up bot." He patted the droid and walked over to a large chair, obviously this ship was made for comfort. "So tell me about yourself Pan. What is your fighting style? Mine is Ataru, the same as Corina's."

 

[Joker]

Pan seated himself, watching the droid work. "Hmmm? Oh. I, uh, I practice Djem So." He wasn't used to talking about himself- wasn't used to talking much about anything, actually- and it showed. "I tried Ataru but it isn't exactly designed for one of my, ah, stature."

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

"Form V? A good style. And yes I guess Ataru isn't meant for your stature. " He felt the ship lift off from the ground. "We will be thee eventually. I will meditate, If you wish to join me you may." He stood and went into a medium sized room near the back of the ship. He sat down on a small circular cushion and meditated his lightsaber floating in front of him. It was his main focus as he studied it through the force.

 

[Joker]

"I think I will."

Pan stood and stretched briefly before following Colm to the back of the ship. He settled down in a cross legged position, hands on knees, and closed his eyes. After a few minutes he was able to quite his mind and tune out the sounds of the ship and lose himself in the Force, meditating in preparation for the mission ahead...

((I have drill this weekend so after tonight I won't be able to pose again till monday.))

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

The ship lifted off and took them millions of miles away. Neither of them felt the jump into hyperspace, it had been smooth and easy. Colm felt them near the planet, Pan may have felt it too, some great evil. It was a distubance, as everything unwelcome in the force was. a dark presence, but it didn't seem as threatening as anything XOlm had ever come across. Coruscant felt worse than this, His brother had been worse than this...Until he died.

 

[Joker]

Pan came out of his meditation as they neared the planet, unpleasant ripples in the Force drawing him to alertness. He had lived a rather sheltered life; To Pan, this sort of evil was unfamiliar and he didn't like it.

"Huh." He stood, wanting to watch their descent through the view port. It was a pretty planet, he supposed. Not that he had much to base that judgement on. Capital City was its largest space port, and a good place to start. "Well we're here."

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

"Yes we are, and I hope it doesn't stay that way."

Colm sttod and went to the cockpit. Watching the decent, he stood hands clapsed behind his back. They landed soflty, he noticed that some flocked to see a jedi ship. Maybe coming here in a jedi ship wasn't such a smart idea.

"Maybe we should ask around? find out what the locals think about this. They might know a thing or two."

 

[Joker]

"I think that would be a good idea." Pan spoke in an undertone as they left the ship, watching the small crowd that had gathered out of the corner of his eye. Well, everyone would certainly know that they were here.

"Stealth is clearly something we aren't going to have on our side. We should question some people, maybe hit a local cantina and see if there are any rumors floating around. If nothing else perhaps we will attract the attention of who ever is behind it all." Which might or might not be a good thing.

 

[Ru the Boatswain]

"Good then, I think we might find something right up here."

They turned a corner where few street signs hung. One that caught Colms eye was titled simply, Hutt. Obviously the owner must be a Hutt and a lazy Hutt.

"In there what do you think?"

He stopped in front of it as patrons entered and left. It looked well kept from out here, and smooth music played inside. Most of those entering and leaving were of the lower class of the planet. A good place to start, at least for they might find something here.

 

[Joker]

"Hutt. How very... Charming." Pan's ears twitched, half amused and half disgusted. He tried not to judge on species, he really did. But when it came to hutts it was hard. "This is as good a place to start as any." At least it was clean.

He strolled into the cantina with a confident beat in his step, taking a moment to absorb the scene before him. It was nice, as such places went. His entrance caused a few eyes to turn, as so often happened in places not accustomed to rather large Cathar stomping about, and he fought off a feeling of unease. "I'll take the bar." He told Colm. "See if I can find anyone chatty."
