Jedi Special Investigation Unit

[Damocles]

OOC: Gonna skip ahead to being on Ilum with Vincent captured.

Vincent sat at the Odan Thas air field as per John's orders not to take him to the temple. He wasn't talking nor was he moving, it seemed that he wasn't even awake, though the truth was he was meditating.

Drake stared at him for a moment before turning to leave out the room. "Keep an eye on him, he tries anything alert us immediately" He told security before leaving out of the room. Kamille was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "So, our friend talking in there?" He asked Drake. Drake turned to Kamille "Not saying a word, honestly I think he's shocked he was captured" Drake replied.

Kamille looked at the door of the room "Maybe, or maybe he just don't want to talk to any of us" he said. Drake looked at Kamille "Figured as much, he probably wants to talk to the man who made him a Templar to begin with. Speakin of where the hell has Jor been this entire time?" Drake questioned scratching his head about it. They hadn't seen Jor since he went on that mission with the Mandos it was almost as if he was stuck cause no one was posting or something. Then again that was just crazy, Drake thought shaking his head.

"What's our play Master?" Kamille asked "We find out where his little cult is, find Jayne and get those orbs from her before, well shit really hits the fan" Drake told him "Before that though I could use some coffee" Kamille said walking away from Drake.

A small Jedi fighter landed in Odan Thos Airfield. A newly confident Sable stepped out a few moments later, and she looked around. She'd just gotten back from Panatha, and played a major role in shifting the government from one of Sith control, to one of republic control. She was still trying to digest what Alric had told her. He had recommended her for a promotion from Padawan to Knight.

She checked her datapad, and realized the date. It was her birthday tomorrow. Aura's birthday. She frowned at the thought of it. This would be their first birthday since the incident on Byss that left her in a coma, and him with a sith master. She heard the comment from Kamille about coffee, coming up on the two Jedi just as he said it.

"I think I could use a beer..." She joked. "... they want to knight me... I'm just a grease monkey."

She watched Kamille leave, and turned up to Drake. "Did I miss anything exciting?"

[Damocles]

Drake looked at Sable when she asked if she missed anything exciting. "Well besides the possible end of the galaxy as we know it starting, nothing much" he said to her about the situation. Drake was still waiting for John and Lyte, he was more concerned about what exactly was taking Jor so long. Having the task of interrogating that nut case in the next room was not on the top of Drake's things to do list. Kamille walked back over to the two and handed Drake a mug. He took a sip from his own coffee, he looked over at Sable when she mentioned becoming a knight. "Congrates" he said to her.

"So, any word from anyone yet Master, or should we start without John?" He asked Drake. Drake put his mug down and sighed. "We'll wait a few more minutes, besides I think Vincent is still out from Lyte and your attacks" he said.

[Roku]

Sable raised an eyebrow at Drake's comment, and felt like she had just done the same actually. Having Danzala remain the king of that planet would have been quite bad. She turned and grinned sheepishly at Kamille, and brushed her hair out of her face. "Thanks." She told him.

"So what's going on?" She asked. "Vincent, he's that guy who cut Master Viper's face with a sword, isn't he? I've heard he's a couple baskets short of a basket case... maybe you need a female approach?" She suggested. "...Savard wanted me to join the templars in his footsteps I think. Well he never said it, but I kinda got that vibe..."

[Damocles]

Kamille drank his coffee he nodded to Sable when she said thank you not actually saying you're welcome because of the coffee. When she asked who Vincent was asking if it was the same guy that beat on Viper, Drake shrugged "I guess that would be him, the guy has cut a lot of people and killed even more, we were lucky to capture him this time" Drake said.

Kamille sat his cup down "Too lucky" he added, Drake had been thinking the same thing for a while, that it was way too easy to bring Vincent down this time. He had to be up to something Drake just couldn't figure out what at the moment. When Sable asked if they needed more of a female approach Drake turned to her "I think its best if the only ones that go in there be Masters at this moment or experienced Knights" Drake said to her.

"Sir" One of the guards called out Drake went over to the intercom "What is it?" he asked "The guy's waking up" the guard replied.

Jor’s jedi starfighter touched down on the landing field just outside Odan Thos Airfield and Jor climbed out of the cockpit carrying a large sack. His trip to Mandalore had been productive. He’d maintained some relations with the Mandalorians, he’d identified a possible new enemy or ally, he’d killed an abnormally humongous Mythosaur and he acquired one of the orbs that they had been searching for.

Aside from all that, Jor had acquired some resources from the Mythosaur that he wanted to try out with the Jedi Forge in Ilums basement. He slung the sack over his shoulder and grabbed a large duraplast case out of the fighters storage bays and began carrying them inside. It felt like forever since he’d been here.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

John came into the room where everyone else had chosen to get caff and rapped his knuckles on the doorjamb. “Jor’s back. I felt him enter the system about half an hour ago and the Rita just informed me her sensors picked up his landing a minute ago.” He announced. “if my feeling is right, I’d say he’s got one of them balls with him..”

[Damocles]

Drake looked over at John when he bought in the news that Jor would be coming towards them soon enough. "Great" Drake said to him "We can finally get this investigation under way" He said. Kamille drank more of his coffee "I'd say the first thing we ask him is what exactly made him join up with these nuts to begin with" he said putting his now empty mug down.

Drake looked at Kamille "One thing at a time, we get the info from him, then we can put him in jail or get him help or shoot him out he nearest air lock or whatever the hell Jor wants to do with him" Drake said.

Vincent coughed some from within his cell "Could I have a glass of water?" he asked calmly.

[Roku]

Sable headed over to the water cooler, and filled a paper cup for Vincent before heading over and handing it to Drake, heading his warning about going in there. She still thought trying a good cop approach but be prudent in this situation. Sable's eyes were bothering her again, and she let out a little groan.

"Excuse me..." She said, rubbing them and heading for the nearest rest room. She was going to stay nearby because Jor was the only one who could really Knight her in Savard's absense. But right now, she needed to take care of her eyes. Her birthday was approaching soon, and she knew that Aura would encounter her.

[MikDaTv]

Jor walked into the airbase reading his datapad. He had deposited all the stuff he’d brought back from Mandalore on one of the trams to the temple and instructed one of the younglings to deposit it at the Jedi Forge.

Being gone for so long he had a lot of unread E-mails. On in particular that caught his eye was from John stating that they had finally captured Vincent and that they had him in custody. Jor was on his way to see it first had right now. Others included some administrative duties for the Temple and one from Savard saying Sable was ready to be knighted but that he wasn’t available for the ceremony.

Jor made his way to the holding cells and down the hall to the interrogation room where he saw Drake, John and Kamille standing. “Good morning.” He greeted. “long time no see fellas. Heard you’ve been busy.”

John leaned on his staff and gave his former master a weary smile. “got the bad guy boss, but he hasn’t said a word since we brought him here. Unusual for him. Usually he can’t shut up having conversations with himself.”

Jor nodded. “I’ll see what I can get out of him. John, I need you to go find Sable if she’s on planet and talk to her about a knighthood ceremony. Savard says she passed her trials. Talk to her and organize something.”

John stood up and nodded. “Who’s available for it?”

Jor thought for a second. “I’ll be indisposed with Vincent for a while. Drake and you are the only other Templar here I think.”

“I’ll take care of it. Sable was just here, I’ll go find her and let you know when we’re going to do it.” John said and walked off.

Jor then turned his attention to Drake. “Feel like being bad cop for a while?”

[Damocles]

Drake took the cup of water that Sable had given him for Vincent. "Thanks" he said to her starring at the cup of water. Kamille laughed some as she walked away "Whats so funny?" Drake questioned, Kamille shook his head "Nothing at all master" he replied as he sat down.

They both turned to see Jor walk up to the group "Not us, Kamille was busy" Drake said "He's the one that managed to bring down Vincent, think he may be ready for a promotion" he said, Kamille looked away "Dumb luck and the fact that I'm fairly sure he wanted to be captured" he retorted to Drake about bringing down Vincent. "Whatever the case, you've been proving yourself quite capable as a Jedi Kamille" Drake told him.

Turning back to Jor Drake nodded "Sure, lets see what we can get out of him. Kamille you watch the interrogation, anything looks off you lock this place down" he said going to the room "Right" Kamille said standing back up so he could pay attention.

Once in the room Drake looked at Vincent he put he cup down "Here's your water murderer" Drake said to him "Thank you very much" Vincent replied in a very polite voice, he took the water and began to drink it.

[Roku]

Sable had a look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were naturally a bright green. Right now though, her iris in her left eye was pink with only traces of green, and her right eye was mostly green with traces of pink blended in. Her eyes were also strained, and she was squinting a lot, and she could feel them being actively damaged. Actively drained. She closed them, focusing hard. Her eyelids lit up a bright healing blue for a second, but then ceased. She couldn't heal them with the force, because it was the force that was causing the problem in the first place. "Damn..." She whispered. "...why is this happening to me? My eyes were perfect... I've never had any issues with them..." She thought it might have something to do with her head injury, but it did not. This was a force defect her mother had suffered as well.

She splashed some water in her eyes, and then headed out of the rest room. She sensed Jor, and started heading his way, wondering what was going to go on with her and this whole knight thing.

[MikDaTv]

Jor walked into the interrogation room and sat down across from Vincent while Drake gave him his water. Very subtlety he opened his mind and began feeling out the room with the Force, pouring out a sense of calm. “You’ve been a bad boy Vincent. We want to help you but you’re making it very difficult. Who are these people you’ve aligned yourself with?”


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


John rounded the corner just as Sable exited the womens room and waved her down. “Hi Sable, Jor says Savard thinks you’re ready to become a knight.” John said in greeting. “Normally as the ranking Templar of Corbenic he would be in charge of your Accolade, but he just got back and he’s pretty busy with Vincent right now so he’s tasked me with it.”

John leaned on his staff and smiled at the girl. “Is there anyone in particular you’d like to conduct the ceremony and is there any particular time you’d like to do it?”

[Roku]

Sable kept her more corrupted eye hidden, and was constantly winking at John, and squinting with her open eye. There was clear dysfunction going on. She smiled at him sheepishly, with that "nothings going on here" look. "Um... yeah... Knighthood. What does it entail exactly? I know they train padawans to become masters...but templar knights are a bit different, right?"

"As for a time frame... I'd like to get it done before it's too late..."

[Damocles]

Kamille watched as Drake and Jor were in the room with Vincent. "Okay bastard" Kamille said "Make a move I know you want to" he mumbled to himself.

Drake looked at Jor when he came in he felt the calm overtake the room knowing it was Jor's way to keep the peace. Which in itself was weird sense he just asked Drake to be bad cop, Drake figured he'd go along with it and not make any moves till Jor gave him the signal.

Vincent finished his water sitting the cup on the table. He looked up at Jor his eyes calm not at all showing any hostilities. "I'm the bad one am I?" he questioned looking over at Drake "What about the murderer there you allow to masquerade as a master? Huh Jor?" he looked around "Your entire ordered is out of whack, all of you Jedi have lost your way. We are merely bringing balance to your force" he said still with a calm demeanor.

Drake walked up to the table and punched it extremely hard "That's not the answer we were looking for" Drake said to Vincent. Vincent laughed "Temper temper Master Hellion, least you become the sith you have sworn to destroy" he said, Drake turned and looked at Jor.

Kamille continued to look on "What the hell he's way too calm, no way Lyte managed to subdue his other personalities this long..."

[MikDaTv]

Jor closed his eyes and eased his presence down. “Vince, you were once a Templar. You once wore the white cloak with pride. Now you murder Jedi in streets. The Force is about life, it always has been. You can’t balance life with murder.”

The Jedi Master opened his eyes and stared into Vincents, unblinking. “Tell me, truthfully, what is this cult to you? You aren’t their leader. We know that. You aren’t their founder. We know that too. So who are these… people? What are they to you?”


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


“Well, your knighthood will make you a Jedi Knight. As Templar we make it our responsibility to conduct the Accolade, the ceremony where a Padawan is recognized as a full Jedi Knight. If you wish to join the Templar Order after that, then you would apply for membership. I’m sure Jor would love to accept a new member.” John explained.

John continued explaining as if he were reading from a book. “The Templar Order is dedicated to preserving the old knowledge and traditions of the Jedi. All of us have studied the first Jedi of Tython and the history of the Jedi and while we may not hold to those ancient ways and traditions, we make it our business to preserve the knowledge of them. Initiates do a lot of studying, reading, memorization, that sort of thing. The only real special training offered is some teaching in ways of identifying and counteracting the Dark Side as well as some resistance to its temptation. Just some general stuff that helps you uphold the three charges. Initiates usually tag along with a member of the order during their studies to get some practical experience in the charges as well.”

John gave sable a confused look. “What’s the matter with your face? Got something in your eye or something?”
