[Roku]

He was struck with the two bolts from Lenne, and grinned over to her. Soon his sunglasses were blown off. "I don't need my eyes." he said, closing them. Several metal disks flew up out of his many pockets, and started to spin and fly about the room like unpredictable insects, One flew at Suzuka's face, but at the last second turned downward between her legs and came up and hit her in the back of the head. Two disks went after Lenne, swirling around like heat-seeking missiles as they went for her torso. At least six more were just flying around the room tauntingly, ready to strike on a whim. Meanwhile, he side stepped the lightsaber attack like the master he was, and kept his Padawans on their toes.

[Anova]

Lenne saw the disks fly towards her and attempted to dodge them. At first, she sort of just flailed around like a noodle, then, she got her grip and jumped dramatically to the side. With this, she dodged the first disk. She then did the same to dodge the second, but the disk inevitably swung back and smacked her right in the square of her back. She lunged forward, her chest flying outwards, and fell onto the ground. "Oh, God!" she exclaimed, feeling like her organs were just punched out of her. She rolled over and tried to gain her composure, feeling around for the training sabers that weren't being used.

[Sir Lord Ash]

Suzuka kept her eyes half closed as she opened herself to the force. She kept herself twisting and turning to a rhythm only she could hear. She thought she was in sync with the master, until she felt something hard hit her in the back of her head. She tumbled forward, landing on her hands. As she hit the floor, she connected the hilts of her lightsaber, making a staff out of them, which would change up her fighting style. If Miroku was going to keep them on their toes, she would repay the favor.

When Lenne was tossed to the ground, Suzuka called on the force, pulling the blaster to her hand. That in her left hand and her lightsaber in her hand, one side activated, so that it was like a normal lightsaber with a double sized hilt, she circled the master, varying her speed and distance from him, and fired the blaster with the accuracy of a veteran. Flash training was paying off.

You alright Lenne?[/color]

[Roku]

As Miroku heard blaster shots, he realized he might need to reopen his eyes. He lucked out on the first one, it clipped the collar of his armor. The disks came down in front of Miroku, each one deflecting a blaster shot, before sliding toward Suzuka at varying angles - just like frisbees. Miroku was well concentrated, able to keep fighting with Suzuka while he turned his head to Lenne.

"Are you alright? Counter my disks with your own telekinesis. That's your specialty, isn't it? That's why I was assigned to you. Focus, Lenne..." he told her. Being the pervert he was, Miroku was an excellent teacher. He decided to go a bit easier on the struggling padawan, only attempting to hit her with one disk aimed at her belly this time.

The Botany Bay touched down at Odan Thos Airfield. Smoke poured from the starboard engine. The boarding ramp lowered and a very irate Jor Halcyon walked down to look at the damage. "Rita, i thought you said the starboard nacelle was good to go."

"It was." Rita responded through the ships intercom. "This damage is unrelated to the damage sustained earlier."

Jor grabbed one of the maintenance ladders and climbed up to the engine as it spun down. "So what caused it?"

"debris on our landing sequence." Rita said. "Damage occurred right after the nacelle was struck by something when we were slowing our decent."

"My spaceship was brought down by a bird strike?" Jor asked slightly depressed.

"Probably not a bird." She replied. "Most likely a chunk of ice that had formed in the atmosphere. I'm running an analysis now. Repairs should be simple."

"But time consuming." Jor said as he examined it. One of the turbines was shredded. He guessed Rita's ice theory wasn't that far off. "I'll get to it later. For now, lock the engines down and secure power."

"Understood Jor." She replied as Jor climbed back down and headed for the trams to the temple.

[MikDaTv]

Jor opened the door to him room within Corbenic. He'd spent all morning taking apart and rebuilding the turbines on the starboard engine of the Botany Bay and he was tired. His suit was working fast to remove fatigue toxins from his body but he'd been working hard and for a long time which let them build up anyway. He just needed to relax for a bit.

He sat down at his desk and picked up his datapad and began posting a message on the Temple's public bulletin board.

From: Jedi Master Halcyon
Public Request

I'm taking a trip to Ilium to get some parts for my ship. The debris field from the Battle of Ilium is still there and i want to do some salvage work. It's a two man job so if anyone wants to help I could use a hand. Work involves some space walks so you'll be in zero gravity and a space suit. There will also be some metal cutting, heavy lifting and electrical work. No experience needed, I can teach you everything you need to know on the job. Good opportunity for some training.

People interested should contact me via comlink or see if I am in my quarters here at Corbenic.

With that posted, Jor put his datapad down and powered up his desk console. He had some ideas for his Codex he needed to put in writing.

[Sir Lord Ash]

Suzuka, after a while, excused herself from the fight. It wasn't because she was too tired, but rather felt it would be important for the master and apprentice to work together without the wandering learner in their space.

She dropped her pack back off in her room, deciding it would be too late to go head out on some adventure somewhere, and decided to wander the halls of the temple. As she passed one of the bulletin boards, she stopped to view it. One of the digital messages on it was quite recent, and was from Master Jor.

She became more and more elated as she red it, and as soon as she finished, she turned and took off at one of her amazingly fast sprints, heading strait for Jor's room. When she reached it, she took a few seconds to smooth her hair and catch her fleeting breath, adjust her skirt, and then, finally, knocked on his door.

[MikDaTv]

"Come in Suzuka. I felt you coming down the hall." Jor yelled through is door. He flipped a hand over his shoulder at the door lock next to the door frame to unlock it. It was a display of telekinesis that even Jor could manage, albeit with a lot more conscious effort than most Jedi would require.

He finished typing the sentence he was working on and turned his desk chair around to face the door. "What can i do for you padawan?"

[Sir Lord Ash]

At his command, Suzuka, opened up the door and stepped inside the room, closing it behind her. She slowly walked up to his desk, and felt shy again, for the first time in... years. This was the first time she had been with this jedi master in about that long, but she overcame it.

I saw your message on the message board, master. Do you still need help with your work?[/color]

[MikDaTv]

"Sure do." Jor confirmed. He turned around in his chair and unplugged his datapad from his desk console and started shutting his desk console down.

"Something tells me you don't have much experience working with outer space salvage though." He said.

[Sir Lord Ash]

Sorry master, but working with outer space salvage wasn't something they flash trained me in. I did get trained in spacewalking and combat, so at least I won't be like a complete fish out of water.

Suzuka wasn't afraid of saying she was a clone any longer: she outgrew that sad habit. She accepted who she was when she outgrew her shyness and most of her childness.

So when do we leave, Master?[/color]

[MikDaTv]

"no worries." Jor said standing up. "Like i said in my bulletin i can give all the training needed on the job. It will just go slower."

Jor grabbed his gun belt off his bed and strapped it around his waist. It had Nejaa, his jedi forged blaster in the holster and a few extra power packs. "We leave as soon as your ready. You might want to grab a change of clothes or two, the trip there will be a good 10 hours and who knows how long the work will be. We might be there a day or two."

Jor opened his comlink and keyed it for his ship. "Rita, get the ship prepped." He closed the link and returned his attention to Suzuka. "I'll meet you at the Botany Bay. Genie will be joining us. She needs to learn how to fly the ship so she can get some practice in doing that while we're salvaging."

[Sir Lord Ash]

Alrighty, Master. I'll grab my pack.

With a big smile, the young woman turned on her heel and left the room, jogging down the hall to where her room was. It took a couple of minutes, but was nice and warm inside compared to how it felt outside.

She went to her bed where her pack was sitting, and hauled it up on her back. As she turned to leave, her eyes swapped across the four massive swords on the wall. Two of the four were almost exactly alike: the same could be said about the other two. Two of the swords, the Feather Blade and Claymore, were from her father in the Mirror universe. The Feather Blade and Claymore were from her father in this universe. As far as she knew, both were dead now: these swords being all she had from them. One more fleeting look, and Suzuka left her room.

She shrugged her shoulders, settling her pack, then began her trek to the tram that would lead her to the airfield. It was a short ride on that: relaxing, and boring, but she grinned again when the door's released her. With quick steps, she made her way to the Botany Bay.

Anyone home?[/color]

[MikDaTv]

Jor trudged up the boarding ramp to the Botany Bay and Genie met him at the top with Bubbles. "So why are we doing this again?"

Jor knocked on the bulkhead of the ship a few times while he continued to the cockpit. "Because the old girl is due for some upgrades."

"But why don't you sell her and buy a new ship." Genie asked. "You have the credits. Why this old bucket?"

"Because i've owned this ship for a while, i'm comfortable with how it flies, it's proven itself and she can take a hell of a lot of punishment. She's a good ship." Jor explained and sat down in the pilots seat.

Genie sat next to him in the co-pilot seat and watched her father as he started plotting a course. "If you say so dad."

Rita piped up from the ships intercom. "Someone is approaching the ship from the flight deck."

Jor pushed his sphere or responsibility out until he felt the person Rita was talking about. "Thats Suzuka. Let her in she's coming with."

* * *

Outside the loudspeaker started speaking with Rita's voice. "Greetings padawan suzuka. Jor is in the cockpit. Please follow the emergency lighting on the floor plates, it will lead you to the cockpit."

[Sir Lord Ash]

Suzuka did as she was told and walked up the ramp, fallowing the emergency floor lights. She knew the floor plans for this model of spacecraft, seeing as she was aboard them when she worked with the Republic, so she had no problems finding her way around. Just outside the cockpit, Suzuka dropped her pack, then walked in.

Master, sorry if I took too long.[/color]

Suzuka let her eyes fall on Genie, and this was perhaps the first time she had a close look upon this woman. The way she held herself, to Suzuka, seemed... off from what she was use to seeing around here, and she took some comfort in the furthest reaches of her mind for some reason.

I don't think I have seen you anywhere in this universe. I'm Suzuka Rumo.[/color]
