Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
Cee is simply sitting in her room and meditating... Suddenly, her eyes open and she jumps to her feet with surprising agility for an old woman who normally can barely move unassisted...
I should have known. Who swore never to get touched again?
With a mocking smile she limps towards the door and out into the corridor, in search of Carth Onasi...Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
Carth is not initially easy to find, but if you ask around it won't take too long for someone in the know to point you in the right direction. You find the erstwhile Lieutenant Onasi where he can usually be found whenever anyone brings up memories of Telos, sitting in a secluded corner of the main hangar of the Quicksure with a flask in his hand.

Pity. No cheerfully drowned sorrows for him today... The old woman walks up to him and clears her throat.
"Lieutenant? I fear something has happened to Lady Bastila and Atris. They are no longer on Dxun, or anywhere in the vicinity. I can feel it. I'm sure something is very wrong."Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
He is jarred from his semi-drunken stupor by your voice.
"Wha? But they haven't come back from Dxun... so... wait... are you saying... Huh... they have been gone a long time... Are you saying they've been kidnapped?
Carth puts his head in his hands, "Oh I knew we shouldn't trust the Mandalorians to keep their word... I'll take you down there immediately. We'll ask some pointed questions."
He rises, swaying on his feet.
"Or maybe... not quite so immediately."Last edited by Ascension; 2008-11-10 at 08:10 PM.

"I'm not sure if they have been kidnapped. But if there had been any voluntary change of plans I'm sure they would have informed the fleet, or at least Master Atris' girls choir."

He laughs.
"Girls' choir. That's a good one. You're right, though. Maybe we should ask them about this."
You aren't out of the hangar before you meet Brianna coming towards you. The other handmaidens are not with her.
"I must speak with you at once," she says.
Carth grins.
"I'm all ears, beautiful."
She glares daggers at your companion.
"Not with you."Current Games:

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
Cee sighs, measuring the pale woman up.
"If you want to tell him that something went wrong down there and your Master and Bastila are no longer on Dxun, you were too slow. If you know something more, then speak, because we were just looking for one of you to ask her exactly that."
Though she never had expected to ever be moved by another's plight, she finds herself caring for the missing Bastila... And it makes her quite forward and direct.Winter is coming.

"Well. What is your plan of action? To carry a drunkard around on your shoulder?"
"I'd call myself more buzzed than drunk," Carth clarifies.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
SpoilerYou'd be "nice" too if you had to put up with Atris 24/7. And it's easier to stomach than her comparing anything and everything to battle in the games. Dance? Like fighting. Love? Like fighting. Pretty much anything else? It's just like fighting. Need to know anything about a person? Watch them fight.
The wise martial artist schtick gets tedious.
Her face, which has been seemingly set in stone since you first saw her, breaks its held expression for the first time. Something like shock seems to pass through her, the shock of realizing that without Atris around, she has no higher authority to rely on. She is in command, for the first time ever, and it terrifies her.
"I-I suppose it is," she says. There is a somewhat long pause while she thinks things over. Luckily, and perhaps surprisingly, Carth says nothing inappropriate during this break in the conversation.
"I will summon the handmaidens. You will find a pilot who's sober. We will go ask Mandalore if he has anything to do with this."
SpoilerI know it looks like I'm being hard on poor Carth here, but he'll get his moment to shine. Just you wait.Current Games:

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
SpoilerWell, Carth was begging for it. And, since I only ever played female characters in KOTOR, I don't know Brianna at all. I know who she is, but that's it. I never had her in my party or anything.
With a smile, Cee nods. Then, she looks up to Carth. "Well, flyboy, are you up to it? Or do I have to find another one?"Winter is coming.

"Buzzed, not drunk. I can handle this," Carth assures you.
"I will not go anywhere in anything flown by that one."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence."
"If you feel like bringing him along you may, but he will not fly the ship."
"I'll get on the guns, then."
"On second thought, let him fly. He'd be less likely to blow us up that way. And the trip to the moon is a short one."
"I knew you had faith in me."
Brianna just sighs and walks away, off to fetch the handmaidens. As soon as she's out of earshot Carth looks over at you. You can smell the alcohol on his breath.
"She's got a lot of spirit. Whaddaya think? You think a padawan and a guy like me..."Current Games:

"Stimcaf. This is a plan I can agree with."
With some effort you get Carth into some semblance of sobriety. It's not a perfect facsimile, but is enough 'twill serve.
He warms up the shuttle's engines again as you wait for the handmaidens to arrive. It is not a long wait.
"Let us be off."
"You got it!"
The shuttle lurches out of the hangar non-lethally and continues towards Dxun non-lethally. It turns out Carth isn't drunk enough to kill you all.
What a comforting thought.Current Games:

Somewhere, somebody must be laughing at the irony of this, Cee thinks as she straps herself into a seat and clenches the armrests while Carth takes off. As soon as the ship has stabilized enough, she tries to reach out through the Force towards Bastila...

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
SpoilerYes, farseeing would be handy...
You faintly feel something like Bastila's mind, but there seems to be some sort of interference... you are hardly surprised when she does not respond.
Shortly afterward you land on Dxun. You are not allowed to land in Mandalore's compound itself, but there is a clearing by the entrance where you can set down your shuttle.

"I can't reach Bastila, something is interfering, it's like she is drugged, or unconscious or something."
She gets up from her seat and stretches her creaking back... These seats were never built with any thought on what havoc they wreak on people's spines. Then she looks at Brianna with an expectant look on her face.Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
"Abort the landing!" Brianna shouts, "It's... Mandalore must be involved in this. There are other ways to learn where Masters Atris and Shan have been taken."
"Umm, okay, but I'm not sure if they'll like this..."
Carth slips on a com headset.
"Uhh, Dxun control, we seem to be having some minor problems here... Oh, no, nothing we need you to repair. No, I think we'll go back up to the fleet. No, you really can't get this kind of a replacement part just anywhere. Oh, no, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to... GAH!"
Carth goes from bluffing to screaming as the anti-aircraft batteries around Mandalore's camp open fire. In a stunning display of semi-drunken aerobatics he narrowly avoids being shot down. As soon as he is clear he streaks towards the stratosphere.
"I hope one of you ladies has a real good plan that involves getting out of here fast."
"I believe they're after the Jedi. They must have a Sith with them who could feel that there were Force sensitives aboard this shuttle. If we had landed as planned we would have been walking into a trap. There is, however, an alternative. Lady Atris has a holocron, one that holds the secrets of the WatchCircles. It can teach us how to see things."
"Can you learn on the way?"
"The way to where? We don't know where the Masters are yet."
"The way to places without people trying to kill us!"
"The holocrons are still aboard the Quicksure."
"Damn."
"But they should not follow us there. Even they are not powerful enough to casually anger the fleet. They must have thought they could deal with us without provoking the others."
SpoilerI originally wrote it as "Something about this doesn't feel right" before I realized that it was essentially just another way of saying "I've got a bad feeling about this."Current Games:

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
As the shuttle lurches to escape being fired at, Cee is thrown across the seat and starts to fluently curse in Sith. It's so handy for that... When she has steadied herself, she agrees:
"Seeing would be a good idea. Maybe the fleet should relocate, just in case? If the Mandalore has doublecrossed you, then I doubt Vaklu can be trusted."Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
For a second her thoughts stray to the other prisoners, on their way to Malachor V into what is probably a trap. Then they stray away again. They are all grown up and responsible for themselves.
"Good call."
SpoilerI'm trying not to be too... prescient, but two Jedi disappearing while someone wants to make a treaty with the Sith, that isn't too much of a logic leap, or is it?Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
SpoilerNo, that's fine. Especially since you didn't actually warn them.
Once you land on the Quicksure Carth heads straight for the bridge. One of the handmaidens goes with him to confirm his story, make sure it doesn't sound like the ravings of a drunken lunatic.
Brianna heads towards Atris's quarters.
"Come this way."Current Games:

SpoilerWhy should I? I'm not the Salvation Army^^. And I'm not responsible for them. But, what I meant was, if it would be prescient to make the connection between Bastila and Atris disappearing and a meeting going on on Malachor V.
Standing back and smiling slightly under the hood of her cloak while Brianna explains things, she then follows the Handmaiden to Atris' vault of forbidden knowledge man was never meant to meddle in. Of course, that doesn't concern women in the slightest...Winter is coming.

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
"Master Atris would not like having anyone see her private chambers... but, well, these are strange circumstances..."
Atris's cabin... or, more accurately, her full suite of cabins... is far more spacious and elegantly furnished than anything else you've seen on board the ship. It must have been intended as quarters for an admiral or a senator, someone of great renown.
Though even the vestibule is decorated with historical texts, the holocrons are buried deep within the suite, densely packed into a small storeroom. There are dozens of them, all calling to you in the Force. Voices dark, light, grey, all across the spectrum. It is no wonder Atris has gone a little mad.
Brianna picks one of them out, a square holocron like that of the Jedi, but one with a bit of a flavor of darkness hanging around it.
"As the pilot suggested, we will study on the way. Come, let us go."
You wonder how much of this is drive to be gone is born from expediency and how much of it is merely a desire to get away from the rest of her master's holocrons. Especially the more sinister ones... Brianna has not looked comfortable since the moment she entered the suite.Current Games:

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
She stays away from touching the collection. Greed is a terrible vice, and a pathetic one. Still, she remembers very well how Brianna accessed them. Just in case... Then follows her out. Holocrons are such a fantastic medium to make others think your thoughts even years and years after you are gone... What else is immortality?
So Cee does not comment on Brianna's unease or anything, just keeps a bland face.Winter is coming.

Carth greets you as you emerge from Atris's quarters.
"The boys were able to plot a good course to Kashyyyk. It'll only take two days in hyperspace. I hope you ladies can learn whatever you need to learn in that time... whoever we're chasing after will have a pretty significant lead on us."
He turns to leave.
"You won't see me again until we hit Wookieeland. I've got a shuttle to strap a hyperdrive to."
"Where shall we go to access the holocron? It would not feel... proper... to use my Master's meditation chamber in her absence."Current Games:

Re: The Tyranny of the Jedi (Alt KotOR Saga): Cee's Story
"...That works."
You return to your cabin... Brianna seems slightly surprised by its size relative to Atris's suite, but she does not actually say anything about it...
She kneels on the floor and holds the holocron out in her hands. You can feel its power filling the room, the knowledge locked within... but it feels confused somehow...
Brianna focuses, and a small, flickering image of Krynda Draay rises from the cube. Her words come slowly, and her right eye looks... odd. Different. You can't quite place what is wrong about it, though.
"You wish to learn to see, do you? To see as I did? Well, I'm sorry. You must be born with such gifts. I can however, teach you to see beyond your worthless eyes... Forget them. Discard them, if you may... The Force shall serve as your eyes, as it does for the Miraluka. Let your eyes move through the Force, let your vision flow away from your body... Yes..."Current Games:
