Drake sat in the cafeteria of the Bay, Kamille was across from him. They had been sitting there for nearly an hour neither one of them saying anything. Drake took a drink from his water setting it back down "Okay this is a stupid idea" Kamille said finally looking at his master. "You really can't be serious about you know letting Vin hunt you. The guy's out of his mind and I mean what happens if he actually catches you" Kamille asked.
Drake shrugged "That's why you guys will be there as back up Kamille" Drake smirked at his Padawan "Look trust me, this is the only way to draw them out. They already said they wanted a Master, we can't let Jor do it he has too much of an emotional attachment with this whole Vincent thing, sense the guy was a Templar. He would try to talk him down, Vin would use that to his advantage."
Kamille sighed "What about your emotional attachment, I mean Jayne being Nathan's daughter and all" Kamille asked, Drake stood up "That's neither here nor there, I'm not trying to get her attention, just the sociopath murdering up the Jedi, we get him then we can worry about going after her" Drake said walking out the room.
Kamille looked at his master "Yep this is going to be a terrible plan, and its going to go horrible, you can just tell" he said going back to drinking his water.

“This time I think the kid’s got more going on upstairs than you do Master Hellion.” John said as he poured himself a cup of caf. “Things rarely work out very well for the bait.” He added.
The sound of Goose’s voice came over the ships intercom. “Landing in 5 minutes. Landing in 5 minutes. Weather has turned up out there so we might get some chop on the way down. Nothing to worry about.”
John sipped his caf. “Back into the cold. Sometimes I wish Jor had built his hidden temple on a planet full of beaches and perpetually 70 degrees.”
Runt was crammed up against one of the wall tables, stripping and cleaning his rifle. “We all wish that Sir.”
The ship shuddered a bit. John held his cup of caf steady and sighed. “I better head up to the cockpit for this landing. Caf is still hot if anyone wants some.” He said and left the galley.
As he walked into the cockpit the ship shuddered again as Goose was finishing the landing sequence. A heavy cross wind was pushing on the port side nacelle causing instability in the stabilizer. “Sorry for the shakes, but wind is gusting pretty hard out there.”
“Not enough to spill my caf.” John assured him. “No worries.”
The ship touched down on the ground outside the temple. After landing in the same spot so many times the snow had been compacted enough that the ship didn’t even sink into the snow to much. “Welcome home.” Goose said as the ship started powering down.

Coming back into orbit of Ilum, Brillium watched the sun come back into view before rotating towards the small planet. "Flying a ship...only a day ago and this would have seemed ludicrous...gotta love food though," as Lyte took a wing of whatever meat was located on his lap and stripped it clean from the bone. Munching for a few moments and just letting his ship glide, the Kumorii relaxed and allowed the moment sink in......
"Okay, back to work. Time to get me on ground...no chop please." Patting Brillium's dashboard for reassurance, Lyte coasted her to the atmosphere, then, through the intercom spoke, "This is Brillium, requesting permission to land."

Kamille sighed "Scary day when I'm the one making sense wouldn't you say?" He asked John as he watched the Knight leave out of the cafeteria. Kamille cracked his neck standing up after the ship had touched down. He left out handing to the hanger so he could depart. Beforehand he grabbed a coat putting it on, he was always cold on this planet, and well who could blame him.
Drake waited as the ship landed and started to depart too. He would have to figure out a good way to get Vincent's attention, the problem was Kamille was right. This idea was insane but as far as it stood it was the only one Drake could think of unless he just called Vincent out for a fight. At least this way it was a good chance Vincent would come alone Drake thought.

John slipped into his coat and grabbed up his staff. “once more through the snow.” He said.
Genie was already waiting for him in cargo bay one waiting for him. “At least my Master isn’t here to throw snowballs at me.”
“He wouldn’t do that if you would figure out the damn lesson.” John said.
Genie huffed. “It can’t be done. Snow balls aren’t dense enough to resist impact. No matter what shield I put up, the ball always breaks before hitting the ground.”
“You just need to put some more thought into it.” John said. “Took me a while to figure it out too.”
“Master Halcyon ran you through the same lesson?” Genie asked.
“Two of my Masters did. Iniga taught me how to make a good shield by throwing rocks at me until I figured it out. Jor taught me how to use a good shield with the snowballs.” John replied. “After watching you, I’d say you know how to make a shield already which means he’s trying to teach you how to use a good shield.”
“That doesn’t make any sense.” Genie complained.
John shrugged. “Says the one who hasn’t figured it out yet.”
Genie grumbled in frustration and John smiled.

Murmansk orbital shipyard picked up the request for landing and shunted the CAP around to escort the ship down. While the fighters got into escort position, Murmansk forwarded the call down to Odan Thos airfield ATC who took the call.
“Brillium, this is Odan Those Airfield ATC. Your cleared for landing on pad 5. Please approach from the west, keep your altitude under three thousand feet and do not exceed port speed. Welcome to Ilum.” came the response over the radio.

"In the pipe, five by five."
Voice precedures, what a wonderful language to learn, but hey, better learn now than never.
Lyte executed the flight maneuvers as best he could while making sure Ilum's weather wouldn't ruin his vision. Decent into the proper altitude wasn't the issue. It was making sure he was coming in from the right angle that was the problem. Once he had made sure Brillium was secure, he opened the backdoor, leaped out, and remembered why he didn't like being cold. Going back inside, Lyte grabbed his gray cloak which was thankfully thick and warm, then, marched back out into the frosty landscape.
Oh, how I'd love the mercy of winter right about now.

Drake walked in the library and over to one of the computers. He sat down and started to type on it, Kamille followed behind him. Drake seemed to be making up some type of fake body guard mission that would draw Vincent's attention.
"Alright if you're really gonna go through with this, at least wait until Master Jor gets back" Kamille said, Drake sighed "Well that may take a while, you heard Genie he's stuck in a thread somewhere, besides I'm perfectly capable of handling this mission all on my own, I am a master after all" Drake said.
Kamille crossed his arms "Yes, but a master this isn't well know for his tactics, or planning, normally you just run in light sabers swinging you know" he finished saying.
Drake stared at his padawan for a few moments before going back to the computer. "Are you gonna help or what?" Drake asked him. Kamille sighed and sat down "Yeah" He said with hesitation.

John and Genie made their way to the temple. John went to go look up Master Halcyon to see how he was fairing. Genie went to the workshop to continue on her little project. Jors knack for technical hobbies carried over well to his apprentice. When she wasn't working on the engines of the Bay she was fooling around with some tinker toy project or another.
John got a reply back from Jors fighter saying that master halcyon was still on his mission and refuse all calls at the moment to prevent the communication being mistaken for a spy report back to the republic. John didnt know what to do, so he went to the training hall to practice with his lightsaber. He wasn't very good with it, but if he didn't practice regularly he became absolutely atrocious with it.

Drake and Kamille both walked out of the library "Alright so the plan is settled" Drake said to Kamille "I'll be heading off on my guard assignment" he said putting the guard and assignment part into air quotations. Kamille sighed heavily about this "I still say its a bad idea, you should at least wait for Jor to get back before you go off on this half ass half baked mission Drake" Kamille said "I will back you up you know that, but we're gonna need much more than that to bring in that psycho Vincent" Kamille finished up saying.
Drake shook his head "I know" he said to Kamille as they continued on down the hall. They got to the training room Drake saw that John was in there training. "Hey" Drake said to him "I go this whole thing worked out if you want to help out" Drake said to John "I'm gonna need back up if we're gonna bring Vincent in"
Kamille leaned against the wall crossing his arms "Yeah its a stupid idea, but he refuses to wait for Jor to get back to try it, so we could use the help" Kamille told John.

Letting the Jedi sort out the next step was about the only thing Lyte could do. Might as well check out this planet a bit. Sticking close to cliff sides and making sure his cloak didn't build up too much snow to way him down, the Kumorii set out for a brisk walk to see how far he'd get before the frost grabbed a hold on his clothing.
Five minutes passed and he felt like his arms were going to die, so Lyte figured the best thing to do would be to save them. Jogging at a brisk pace, he brought himself back to the temple. After a few moments of wandering around, Lyte found Drake and the others in one of the training rooms. "What's with the gathering?" Looking at Kamille's flustered face, he added, "What are you guys planning now?" before raising his right eyebrow.

It had been about two months now since she arrived in the infirmary, and a week since she woke up. The blonde Jedi grease monkey was sitting up on her hospital bed with IVs and monitors all attached to her, the deviced on a wheeled stand. Her head was fuzzy at best. She'd been betrayed by her brother, and thrown away like some kind of trash pile. A lesser person would be depressed right now, but Sable saw the bright side even in pitch darkness. She planted her legs down shakily, and tried to hold up her weight. Her legs wobbled dramatically, her knees buckling, unable to hold herself up. She fell, topping her stand and landing on her hands and knees breathing hard.
Her monitor was going haywire now, beeping, and in the security room there was a red alert to Sable's med dorm. Savard was alerted instantly, and he marched as quickly as he could and bashed the door open.
"Sable!? Sable!!" he called, as he crouched and went to her aid.
"I'm ready master..." She told him softly.
"Take this equipment off of me... I'm ready to come back..." She told him.
"What?" he asked.
"Just do it... I hate depending on this stuff..." She told him. "I'm not one hundred percent, but I sure as hell don't need to pee into a bag..." She told him. "If I faint or fall down, I'll stand back up..." She told him, and she slowly did. And she took a real step forward this time, clearly just drowsy on the first go.
"He nearly killed me... he's going to wish he had..." She told him.
Over the course of the next little while. Sable was unplugged, and allowed to freely travel. Savard let out a long sigh after she left the room, and fell asleep at the desk. He hadn't slept in 50 hours.
--
After a trip to her actual dorm which hadn't seen a resident in nearly two months, she got dressed into some dignified clothing, a Jedi robe. It sure beat the hospital dressed she'd had to wear while under surveillance. She had a glance over at her bed, and shook her head. She'd slept long enough. It was time to reclaim what was left of her life.
As she navigated the corridors of Corbenic, one thing that Sable noticed was that her sense of vision had deteriorated greatly. She walked up to the Library entrance, near where Kamille and John were and she was squinting awkwardly, and staggering at a cripple's pace down the hallway. It was clear she was out of it, but this would be the first time anyone saw her outside a coma save for Savard, who had been giving her food the past week.

John deflected the last two stun bolts from the remote that floated before him. He’d gotten a few good bruises from missed shots but he’d gotten better towards the end there. He was still no lightsaber master but at least he was in practice enough to handle a remote… most of the time.
“I’ll go. Genie can stay here and wait for Master Halcyon to fill him in on current events.” John said after deactivating his lightsaber. “I think she wants some time alone in the workshop after what she saw on Coruscant.”
John clipped his lightsaber to his belt and leaned against one of the training racks. He wasn’t exactly exhausted but training with the remote was no slouch job. “Whats your plan Master?”

"His plan" Kamille started to say in response to John "Is to use himself as bait" he looked at Drake "Which I stand by my statement as being very fucking stupid" he said.
Drake sighed at his padawan "I'm gonna come up with a fake assignment, maybe say I'm a guard for a high profile politician, then when Vincent comes in to claim my life, seeing as how I'm a heretic force user you guys will capture him. Plain and simple" he finished saying to John.
"Except, it won't be that simple, it never is" Kamille said "Who's to say he won't bring back up, who's to say they just won't send suicide bombers like they did last time." he told Drake "Hell we may not even be able to capture him, what happens if we have to kill him?" He asked.
Drake sighed again at Kamille "We'll cross those bridges when we come to them, until then this is the plan, it'll work. Trust me on this" Drake said to him. "Whatever" Kamille said "If you want to go through with this fine, I will back you up, but if something goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you" Kamille said. "Don't worry I won't, cause nothing will go wrong" Drake replied.

Standing on the inside of the doorway into the training room, Lyte said, "That would have to be thee biggest jinx I've ever heard in the entirety of my life. Still, we have four force users, all of which had walked right into enemy territory as if it was another jog in the park. Heck, John tore a hole in the side of the place because he didn't like the looks of the front door. If the equivalent amount of sanity will be used in this mission, I'd be surprised if Vincent didn't piss his pants by the end of it all. Heck, I'm glad I'm on YOUR guys' side since, I don't want a hole in my ship. Besides, looking at that shit-eating grin on Master Drake's face, I'd say he's too pretty to die."
Hearing footsteps back down the hallway, the Nautolan quick took a glance out into the hallway, and turned back around with a puzzled face. "I thought the arts of healing were advanced in this facility, what with it being Jedi and all. Whose the chick with the wobbly knees? She looks like her hair is on permanent bed-head."

"I might be dazed but I can still hear you..." She grumbled to Lyte. Sable was naturally beautiful, and while she did look dinged up, she would still look good in a paper bag dress. "How long was I out for?" She asked, groggily. She didn't understand the sheer magnitude of what had happened to her. On Byss, she had been tossed out of a moving speeder by her older twin, and left to die. After being brought back to the Jedi temple she was on life support in a coma for two months; then she started to show signs of life about a week ago.
Sable's memory was quite excellent, and based primarily on hearing. She'd picked up a few thing Kamille had said concerning Drake's misadventures, and was thinking of an answer on her way over here. Waddling past Lyte, she approached the slighter older male and nodded to him. "The temple medics are very good should anything happen to master Hellion." She reassured him with a strained hand on his shoulder. She knew what it was like to worry about someone she cared about. She was still in a lot of pain and distress, but the resolve on her face when she looked him in the eye was never stronger.
"I'm ready to start repairing shit again if anyone needs it...that includes people... otherwise, I'm pretty hungry..."
