The Apogee
Hyperspace Enroute to Nar Shaddaa
Vu’thari had given his two padawans time for themselves following Utapau and their time with Ezekial. It was important to the Jedi that they spend that time to digest what was learned. When tapping into the depths of the Dark Side, it was not a journey that one could move along without processing. Vu’thari took no chances when dealing with this subject matter. It was important that he gave his apprentices the time they needed and they could speak to him when they were ready. But he felt they needed to move to the next step…
The science lab onboard of the Apogee had taken on a new purpose for this voyage. Small parts were neatly arranged all over the ship space. It was a vast collection of power cells, hand grips, activation plates, belt rings, blade length adjusters, emitter matrixes, recharge sockets, lens assemblies, and power conduits. They were divided by part and splayed throughout the space. Small floor rugs were spread out on the floor. Usually, the science room was sterile and brightly lit, but now the room took on a different personality, complete with candles and a mild incense burning that brought out a subtle, yet pleasant aroma.
Vu’thari came to both of his padawan’s quarters on the ship and rapped on the door, saying from outside, “Come join me in the science lab…bring your crystals.”
The door to the science lab was open when the pair arrived. The incense touched their sense of smell and though not as bright as usual, the illumination was plenty enough to clearly see within. As they entered, Vu’thari explained, “It is time for you to take the next step to becoming a Jedi Knight…you will construct your lightsaber.”
Pause.
“On Kashyyyk, some of us were gifted with a limb of Brylark. I cut down the limb into individual housings for those that attended that pilgrimage.”
Looking over at the Galtean, Vu’thari said quietly, “Yours is over with the hand grips, if you wish to use that as your base…”
Looking back at Prax and then to Ayasha, he continued, “You may build this with your hands or you may use the Force to construct it. I thought it would be easier with my hands, but when I tried it with my mind—it was easier to me. Maybe you will find the same experience. There is a chart on the wall for your reference in building the weapon, but I assure you…if you let go? The Force will guide you every step of the way…”
He stepped out of the padawans way, intent on letting them meditate on the mats once they gathered their parts. He added, “May the Force be with you…”
