The Zyla Bram exited Hyperspace over the planet of Ilum and the Aquitaine was not far behind. The Zyla Bram headed down to the surface while the larger ship took up station in orbit. Jor had given her crew orders to begin making modifications to the interior of the ship. He hoped to have one of the ships recreational gym area's converted into a Jedi Training area by the time they returned to the ship.
Genie had been moved from the Bacta tank and to a bed in sickbay. she was sleeping most of the time now, at Mirror Jor's insistance. the more she was asleep the more her body could heal the damage done to it. He'd begun gene therapy session to fix her incomplete DNA issue and had high hopes that she'd be able to get out of bed at least in a few hours.

Elisa was sitting at the table in the mess hall. She was eating a Bantha stack sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cheese. She also had a small pile of chips next to the sandwich and a glass of tea off to the side. It was just a plain meal that any person in the galaxy would eat, but she liked it. Elisa ate her food, put her tray away, and walked out of the galley. She headed straight to the medical bay. She wanted to check on Genie, the other Jor was giving her Gene therapy. She practiced general medicine or she had the memories of practicing general medicine. This was above her skill levels, but she could at least be around giving her positive energy.

Drake's eyes shot up and he popped up he had been asleep most of the trip, he had found a nice little place in the hanger to crash out. Though in retrospect it probably wasn't the best place to sleep, Drake started to stand up his back sore from the hard floor of the vessel he popped his back and cracked his neck as he stretched and yawned to fully wak himself up "Urgh...are we there yet?" Drake asked no one in particular Drake walked out the hanger and took a turbo lift up to the bridge just to see what was going on once there he stood at the door "So I guess we are here" he said still yawning.

"yep" Jor said to drake as they started their decent. "Better put on a jacket, it's cold down there."
Jor told the ships captain to let them down near one of the crystal caves. The Cutter came down and landed inside one of the small, ancient Jedi outposts on the planet that was a good 2 mile hike to the nearest crystal cave formation. the Journey there would give Jor plenty of time to teach.

Elisa arrived in the medical bay and walked over to Genie. She was looking a lot better; however she still had the horrible smile of bacta on her. Elisa grabbed the chart from the end of the bed and flipped through it. It appeared the retrovirus that the other Jor had created was really starting to take hold. Her white blood count was leveling off, her body was breaking down specific proteins, and most importantly her heart internal organs were functioning in the high nineties again. She placed her hand on Genies leg and put the chart away before looking at the other Jor. "Thank you for everything." Elisa said softly and turned walked out of the room.
Elisa headed up to the bridge; she could feel Jor and Drake up there. She walked onto the bridge and looked out over the icy planet. "Isn't that just beautiful, it is just like home. I can't wait to get out there and get a big breath of that cold air." She did not care at this point about the fact her memories were false. She simple was going to act as though they were real, because the emotions attached to them were real.
Elisa looked at Jor and Drake. "So what are we doing on this snowball world?" Elisa took a quick glance at the nav computer and it said Ilum. She thought for a second and realized this was planet rich with crystal deposits. It lacked the mining operations of Polus; mostly due to the fact the planet did not have a native population to build operations off of. She still had no clue what they were doing on the planet, but she figured all would be explained in time.

Drake looked at the planet, it wasn't his first time being there and he didn't mind the cold though he would get a jacket just to carry with him. He smirked at Jor "Well this seems like it could be some fun" he said as he turned to see Elisa come in, he smiled at her reaction to seeing the planet Drake laughed some. "Well seems like you'll be right at home" he joked with her, he scratched his head he looked at Elisa "Training" he said to her "Crystals, sabers you know...make you a nice saber..." he looked her up and down "I bet you get like an orange crystal" he joked with her "Or a purple one..." He stopped realizing he had a purple one "Nevermind" he joked.

A single Stealth-X starfighter jumped out of hyperspace and into the Ilum System, not too far away from the planet itself, actually. The pilot made a quick adjustment before he took control of the fighter again and forced himself awake.
Ash slept nearly the entire trip. It was a relatively easy trip, but his number two engine nearly failed. Once he was back with his flotilla, then he would have everything worked out with the fighter. Otherwise, he would need to be careful and trust in the force and his own piloting skills to get him ground-side and back in one piece.
As luck would have it, that didn't work out so well. As soon as the fighter hit atmosphere, the #2 engine completely shut down. Thinking quickly, Ash shut down the other 3 engines, and glided down until he was a couple miles above the planets surface, where he tried to turn everything back on.
He didn't know exactly what happened next, but he heard a large explosion go off, his visor tint, as well as the fighters blast-shielding, and his armor's shields flared and went out instantly. The blast made his head hit the inside of his helmet, nearly causing him to black out, but he was able to keep what was left of the fighter from falling apart, if you could call it that.
He used the force to hold what was left of the fighter together until it fell to about a mile from the ground, where he ejected his seat finally. The chute didn't deploy, which was bad. The ground was rushing up at him fast now that he looked at it, and it looked like he was heading right for a pillar on a building of some sort. He used the force to make himself faster, and to make everything seem slower, and ripped the chair out from under him.
500 feet from impact: Ash reset his shields and locked up his armor, and hoped to dear god that he wouldn't die today. Hell may be warmer, but it wasn't where he wanted to go. He closed his eyes, felt his body crash into something hard and solid, and was knocked out cold before his body could rocket into the ground outside the building, his head and half his torso sticking out of the snow. The force was good to him, as he was alive, though he was hurt to a degree. About a mile away, what was left of his fighter crashed into the side of a mountain and rolled down it most of the way.

The Zyla Bram touched down on a flat stretch of ice near the Jedi outpost and it's embarkation ramp descended Jor grabbed his helmet and slid his lightsaber into it's wrist compartment. "Well, lets get going. It's a long hike and i'd like to get to the caves before nightfall."
The Captain turned. "Sir, the Aquitaine observed a starfighter entering Ilums atmosphere near here. It wasn't detected until it began it's reentry sequence so we believe it was a stealth vessel."
Jor slammed a metal gauntlet to his forehead. "Great. I'll take care of it. Where did it land?"
"Thats just the thing sir, it didn't. Sensors showed it started breaking up on reentry. We believe the pilot managed to eject though. We've extrapolated the most likely landing zone but i doubt he's alive." The captain said. "We detected no repulsorpack deployment."
"still" Jor said. "we should make sure. Transmit me the data and i'll do a quick search. Drake, when Genie wakes up, start the hike up the mountain to the cave."
Mirror Jor came to the bridge taking his gloves off. "She'll be fine. The gene therapy isn't finished yet but it's taking hold. Her normal healing and immune response has been restored. She'll be completely back to normal in a few days."

Elisa followed Jor down the loading ramp. She was wearing a set of cold weather gear that was on Zyla Bram. It even had the old Union of the Force Golden Lion’s Head patch on the left arm and the League of Non-Aligned Systems flag on the right. On her belt was a blaster pistol along with the lightsaber that Kitana had given her, a comm unit and datapad. She was not good with either weapon she carried, but she could manage with either.
Elisa stopped by Jor when he got the message. She giggled when the metal made a clank sound. “You always assume the worst don’t you.” Elisa said between giggles, “Why not for a change you think, this was a pilot that got off course and will just appreciate the Army of the Light help.” Elisa smiled and stepped off the loading ramp into the snow. She did not seem to be bothered by the cold, it was the advantage of ‘growing up’ on a snowball world.

Drake followed Jor and Elisa to the exit ramp of the ship. He walked off it and looked around before putting his jacket on, he was sort of chilly but not really freezing cold. He looked around and over at the hills they would have to trek accross to get to the caves for training. He heard the message Jor got and turned to him he seemed angry and Elisa commented, Drake couldn't help but make a joke at this. "Yeah he did that trusting people a few times before, the first time he woke up as the Tin man and the second he woke up with a daughter..." Drake laughed "I don't blame him for wanting to shoot first and ask questions later..." Drake sat on the ground and leaned against a rock he waved Jor off "No problem I'll get her to the cave" he said to him, he looked over at the other Jor afterwards, "Well I guess she won't be up before night fall" Drake said.

"I just want to check for survivors. Ilum isn't the most hospitable planet. I just find it amazingly frustrating that someone would pick now to smash their plane into the surface of the planet i'm trying to train Jedi on." Jor said.
He walked off the bridge and headed down the ramp. "Old man you better stick around. if i find someone they might need a doctor."
Jor looked around at the sky. It was fairly clear, only a couple clouds here and there. At least he got the chance to see what his suit could do. "I'll be back in a bit."
The ion engines in his heels and backpack started and his armor started to whine. The engines flared and he shot up into the sky. He wished Rita were in the suit, but she was probably out somewhere recruiting new members.

Elisa smiled as she watched Jor take off. She did not understand why someone would put so much energy into making armor which was more of a small walker then protection. It was her opinion that one a light armor was needed and then you use your agility to fight strength. Elisa did not know it, but this feeling towards armor was picked up from Kitana’s own feeling about the necessity of armor.
Elisa walked back onto the ship and headed back up to the bridge. She walked over to sensors station and looked over the operators shoulder. She watched as Jor traveled across the icy landscape towards the remains of the fighter. She hopped he found a survivor, it would be a shame if the person had just plummeted to his death.

Jor always like flying. Be it in a suit or a fighter he liked the feeling of having his feet off the ground, suspended in the air. He didn't let the feeling get to him though, he was too busy searching for someone to rescue.
The crash site hadn't been hard to find. The smoke could be seen for miles. It looked like the remains of an X-wing, but the Captain had said it was a stealth craft so Jor assumed it was a Stealth X. The new poster boy aircraft of the Empire. That of coarse wasn't enough to condemn the pilot to death, but Jor didn't like the possibility of an Imperial craft chilling out next to his fledgling Jedi.
With a thought, his com system was open and signaling the Aquitaine. "Aquitaine, his is Jor. Keep an eye on the wreck, make sure it's electromagnetic signature is totally dead."
"Roger that sir." the Comm officer said. Jor was put on hold as the officer relayed the orders. Jor circled around the wreck one more time at a little lower altitude. He couldn't see the cockpit with the wreck so he decided that the pilot probably did eject like the captain said. "Sir electronics on the crash are dead, but we're picking up something faint west of you, about a klick and a half. Too weak to be any kind of signal. Probably some still active electronic lines from the fighter that landed away from the body of the ship."
"Thanks Aquitaine, get a salvage crew down here. Maybe we can get something useful from the wreck." Jor hung up the com line and stopped. he hovered for a little over the wreck looking west. he couldn't see anything with his naked eye so he magnified the view which gave him a magnified view of more snow.
He triggered the boosters again and started in that direction.
Back at the Zyla Bram, Mirror Jor was busy putting all of his equipment back in his bag. "She's sleeping on her own right now. She'll probably wake up in an hour or so. I leave it to you when to start hiking. I'm not a huge fan of nature walks."

Drake kept sitting there as Jor left and Elisa went back on the ship. He sighed and let out a yawn then looked at Mirror Jor "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of her" he smirked "She'll be fine, I'll make sure it" Drake stood up for some reason he felt the need to watch out for Genie like an older brother, maybe cause he never had any syblings. He walked back onto the ship and over to his favorite table in the cafeteria and sat down, he started to drink from his bottle of whiskey.

Ash stirred and finally awakened, but he couldn't check his chrono. His helmet was tossed off when he flew straight into the ground, but he should be lucky he wasn't dead. His face was as cold as hell, though.
His armor was no longer locked up, thanks to it unlocking when his helmet flew off, but that didn't mean that he was in a half-ton trash heap: It was still just as strong as it always was. Once out of the snow heap, he picked it up off the ground, and restarted all his systems. His chrono showed he was only out for about a half hour. Not too bad considering how hard he fell. It it was from orbit, then he may have been out for a couple of days if he even survived that fall.
Ash took a few steps toowards the smoke of his wrecked starfighter before he felt a massive pain on his insides. He ripped his helmet off and hurled blood all over the snow, the steamy red burning through the whiteness of the snow. He whipped his mouth with the back of his armord hand, and fell on his back.
Despite his masive headache and the ringing in his ears, he heard the sound of an ion engine, but it didn't sound very large. Perhaps if he was lucky, they would not see him, but it was hard to miss a set of nearly glowing green armor. He just closed his eyes and nearly drifted off again, though he was just bairly here enough to feel what was going on again. Still, because of his change, his face had yet to go around on the net, so he was just some lost stranger with a face nearly like what he had when he joined the Repiblic instead of that of the one he had now in the Empire.
Ash drifted off into dream land, and heard many things being said. He only caught some things being said.
The force can change people. If someone dark teaches it to them, they they are drawn to the dark side, but if they learn the light side of it, then they shall stay with it, nut never underestimate the power of the dark side: It can draw anyone to it. It can bring your inner demon to life, but it is up to you to see how much influence it weaves. [/color] Ash's gray eyes slowly drew open, but nothing was in focus. He breathed in, as if he haden't took a breath for a while. His head was swimming, but finally, things started to focus.[/center][/sub] |
