".... be with.... dying.... I hope.... last wish.... my treasures...."
Krownest. Was. Too. Cold.
Nara shivered in her thick coat as she trudged through the snow, heading deeper into the forest. A better idea would have been to stay on the ship and send out a scout droid or something... but her droid wasn't exactly designed for snow. Or rain. Or direct sunlight, really. So here she was, forced to trudge her way into the tangled forests as her datapad searched for the signal.
It'd appeared on a Jedi-specific channel. It was strong enough to get a couple of sectors out, so that suggested there was some kind of transmitter there. Jedi boasting about treasure was strange, though. Nara'd certainly heard enough rumours about 'treasure' that it peaked her interest, though Jedi treasure was more likely to be books and knowledge rather than gold and jewels.
Everyone's going a little bit insane about this treasure stuff. It was the same every Boonta's Eve on Nar Shaddaa. Always some Hutt's lost gold, or the vault of some long lost raider gang, just hidden somewhere dangerous. Falree Siz was convinced that he'd found it that year and we only ever found his head...
Nara shivered as her datapad pinged with a result. Somewhere deeper in the forest, but the signal was getting stronger. The message repeated, the words a little louder but the interference was still there. Even stranger. Could be something there that was messing with the transmission at the source, or just someone who was really poor at cobbling together a range booster.
So, what are these treasures? Obviously, something this person wanted the Jedi to have. And just who was it? Former knight? Lost padawan? Sneaky master leading a double-life? Nara didn't recognise the voice... but they could have been before her time. Or just someone who wasn't at the temple much. She picked up the pace a little. It wasn't like the transmission was hard to pick up and she might already be too late.
I'm sure some of you can guess exactly what 'treasures' will be found.
Hopefully this can be a little light-hearted, but the gist is that this garbled transmission is being broadcast across a couple of sectors, talking about someone's 'treasures.' The transmission originates somewhere in a densely forested region of Krownest.
I'm hoping we can keep this thread somewhat light-hearted!
