Open Ajan Kloss Like Light to the Flies

How would he have seen the jetpack when she has always been facing him, this was the first time Artorigas had seen her back and he arse. Ahh the wonders if tight fitting durasteel he thought. Looking over at the flowing water he nodded. "Yes, whatever we are looking for seems to be in that direction." He confirmed as they walked closer, the mud became wetter as they approached, it was slippery and a wrong step could send either of them arse over tit.

The pool beneath seemed deep, was what he sought down their? He tried to peer into the dark depths, flicking the modes of his helmet showed him the same thing as his plain eyesight, nothing. The beating rhythm within The Force was around here though, looking around the small area around the waterfall, the only option was within. "Wanna use that fancy jetpack and see if there is anything behind the waterfall?"

O but if Wessex only knew that Cas’ stepping in front of him was precisely the reason why she had elected to mention her jetpack—as much so that he could see the shake of her ass that was nigh undeniable in a woman’s walk. Hell, it wasn’t every day that a Mandalorian had an opportunity to flirt with a Sith, in whatever shape or form that came with.

Whatever ‘we’ are looking for, Cas did not overlook. The Sith was clearly heading somewhere less than aimless. That was far from unusual for a Forcie in a place like this but it did confirm the awareness of one Mandalorian who had since discovered that she wasn’t as foreign to the Force as others of her kind.

Dismissing the musings, Cas followed along. Wessex was surely searching for something but she would not presume that he knew where so much as what. That was enough...for now. Through him, had she sensed something? Do I feel anything? Or just the urge to take his armor and leave his naked ass in the mud?

“Fine,” Cas confirmed at the offer. “But if you try to ‘Force Push’ me or whatever you Forcies call it, well, I’m warning you now…” Her tone was half in jest and half in not so much. With that, her jets gave way and she headed for the waterfall. What would she find?

"As tempting as it is to get you all wet, It would be rather counter productive and as we discussed I don't think you would float well." He joked as she jetted off towards the waterfall. The rumble of the jets however seemed to have a negative effect. A cry went out across the small clearing around the waterfall, then from the waterfall a pair of Ruping's shot through the water and went after the Mandalorian.

Artorigas took a step back as they splashed through, he reached to his lightsaber to help the Mandalorian however the flying Reptavian's well they were flying. It would be up to her to deal with them, but he would watch with obvious concern until it was over with.

Wessex had a fantastic point as far as falling into the pool went. Sure, Cas could keep herself above the water well enough with her jetpack, could obviously deactivate it to cross the fall itself and reach the rock behind it, but falling into the water itself?

Well, beskar was lightweight enough but she did not fancy her chances in any kind of pool, whether local or foreign. Going into water with armor on was a general no-no no matter where you were from or what armor you had on.

Unfortunately for this Mandalorian, she would have more than free will to contend with when it came to drowning. Just then, the water gave way as two flying creatures erupted from beneath the surface with a cry of hunger.

It could just as well have been a scream against those who might transgress upon a nest, but Cas had little room to ascertain. She instead reacted on instinct, withdrawing her Wester-35 pistols from her person and training them on both beasts.

A volley of bolts soared their way as the warrior’s jetpack burst, its owner climbing through the air ahead of her pursuers. Her bolts plowed into the first creature, pummeling it with punishment until it collapsed back beneath the depths with a screech.

The other Ruping was left unchecked, enough to swipe a claw toward its target. Cas darted aside just in time, dodging the swipe while airborne, before whipping herself around in the air to plug her pistols into the back of her remaining assailant. Then it fell to join the watery grave of its sibling.

“Orange,” Cas conveyed to her contemporary after that little skirmish. “Just like my beskar’gam. Good thing you didn’t attack and mistake one for the other.” If Wessex could see behind a visor then he would see a smirk, but that was unlikely.

Artorigas held his lightsaber in one hand and waved it back and forth. "I was tempted but you looked a bit to similar for me to try." He replied in jest before scanning back over to the waterfall. Ruping's only nested in pairs so he doubted that there would be any more of the creatures back their to deal with. Comfortable that any simple threat was dealt with already by the Mandalorian Artorigas decided to head over himself.

Pulling The Force into his body he channelled the mythical power throughout his body and then leapt across the chasm. The high arc moved him through the wall of water about ten foot from the ground, the weight of falls slowed his movement down so he came to a soft landing on the other side.

He had landed in a cave about twenty meters across similar in height but double that in length, it was hodgepodge of natural and manmade things, though the former seemed to actually be the newer of the two. This had been a hanger of some point, tools lined the back of the cave, a power charger to the right and a number of spare parts to the left. To the front and middle of the area however was the more recently constructed nest. Well this was unexpected.

Like Jakku the thump and rhythm of The Force had lead him to what felt like a dead end. As he wondered through the dirt and mud which had collected around the tools and parts, it did feel all to similar to that little corner back on Jakku. Artorigas had guessed that The Force was pulling him through some sort of hunt, quest as some would call it. He knew what he was personally looking for, but was unsure how this trek around the galaxy to these random places would lead him to his destination and goal.

The Mandalorian popped into the cave for a moment but quickly left, something about her bounty 'going ripe' he bade her a good day and she quickly jetted off leaving him alone amongst the discarded junk. Hoping to get a similar vision to before he began picking up some of the tools he found around the hanger. Though none seemed to give him that vision he was looking for, it had been around thirty minutes and he had pretty much touched everything in the hanger that was left.

With a sigh he pulled out the stool by the workbench and took a seat, that's where it happened. The rush and sensation of The Force flowing through his body, grabbing hold of his mind and pulling it free from its mortal shell. He flew through the darkness of space, soon the darkness was replaced by water, oceans, cliffs, small birds? He felt an even greater pull of the light side from this place. This would be dangerous...
