[SWd6][IC] It is time, younglings.

Just as you ago begin to exit, Gilly comes by, taking lead in place of Gunny. "Right, then. All fixed up. Pleasure meetin' ya and all, fly safe. You never saw us. Nobody saw us. We were never here. This was a fuel cargo run for the station, strictly off the books on the way to your next contact." Gilly quickly urges everyone off, shushing any noise immediately. Gilly stands up straight and barks out, "Thanks for the fuel, now shove off! Got work needs doin'!", and closes the air lock hatch. "Not a word until we're off the next ship. Not. A. Word."

You all are ushered quickly to a small shuttle, crammed in like sardines in a room little larger than an escape pod, and quickly enter hyperspace.

Anything done while on your way through the station or on the shuttle?

Sharana very quickly, as they pass the stores on the station,buys herself 1 datapad at 100 credits and one customized medical backpack at 600 credits. If she has the time, a spare blaster clip for 25 and a personal comlink for 25. otherwise she follows gilly's word and says nothing.

Khosah followed quietly as his master had instructed. He silently wondered if something had gone wrong. Master Gilly seems a little grumpier than usual.

He knew it was dangerous for Force sensitives to move openly and that the Inquisitorius was always on the hunt. After he had won the Junior Swoop Championship on Coruscant the Inquisitorius wanted him tested for the Force. He and his parents fled before that could happen and barely managed to escape. With help from friends on the racing circuit they were smuggled around the galaxy. The Inquisitors hounded them at every turn. They nearly had Khosah and his family on Tatooine. If it had not been for the mysterious old man's help they probably would've been caught.

After they escaped, the old man had directed them to a meeting with Gilly. At first Master Gilly did not want to train him, something about Khosah being 'Too old'. But after reading a message from the old man he reluctantly agreed. Khosah said goodbye to his parents and hoped that once he was away the Inquisitors would not find them. Since the Inquisitors would be looking for a child Lafrarian, two adults travelling alone should've been able to slip away.

A large lump began to form in his throat as the thought of his parents being captured entered his mind. He swallowed hard and fought back the tears that started to well up. You must control your emotions!

He resolved to try and follow his Master's instructions as best he could.

Once everyone is safely aboard the new ship in a room little more than an escape pod, you are quickly shuttled off the station and enter hyperspace.

It isn't more than minutes before everyone is herded off, switching ships through a docking collar, to a much larger frigate.

Once aboard, Gilly finally breaks the silence.

"Sharana, why did you buy stuff on that station? Did any of you notice the people following us?"

He won't hold much conversation, and the days drift by, blending one into the next. After another eight ships, you ago start to feel a pull. Like a guiding hand driving you forward.

You're here.

It's a large, rocky planet covered in what seems to be jungle islands and snaky seas. As you enter the atmosphere, you see your approach brings you towards a larger island that formed around the base of a still active volcano. Deep, thick black smoke is belching from the blown top, warning everything around that it may erupt any day.

You soon land near a downed escape pod. After assuring the captain that they don't need to stay, Old Gilly looks upon you all.

"Here we are. One of the planets that are still safe. On this island is the access to your crystal. You will find it either in the jungle or on the volcano itself. Be wary. We are not alone; even if we were, the natural dangers could still end you. We will use this pod as our base and camp. I will remain here. I will do some basic hunting and cooking for us, so that is one less thing to cloud your minds. Meditate. Be at peace. Find your center. Your crystal will find you."

You are now up to your own devices. What happens next is your story. Gilly will remain at the camp for the entirety of the duration.

“Are we supposed to do this alone? Or are we allowed to help each other?” Khosah asked Master Gilly while looking with hope at his fellow students.

Khosah changed from his street clothes and into his Jedi robe. He strapped his blaster and knife to his belt then clipped his comlink to an easily accessible location. I wish I had Dad’s old hunting rifle but I guess this will do.

He folded up his street clothes and pulled his old racing suit and helmet out of his bag. The suit no longer fit correctly and the helmet was much tighter on his head but he had kept them for sentimental reasons. As he ran his fingers over them he thought back to the days where the only thing he had to worry about was racing. A Jedi is supposed to let go of attachments. He tried to shake off the memories but he often found it difficult to let go of the past. He supposed that is why Master Gilly had said he was too old. He had formed too many strong attachments to his previous life. Khosah sighed inwardly and stashed the spare clothing aboard the pod.

He strapped the spacer’s bag with his remaining gear to his back. “I’m going to gather some firewood and check out the surrounding area.” He closed his eyes for a brief moment as he reached out with the force to detect the nearby lifeforms. He continued to let the force flow and sense the presence of life as he searched a 100m radius from the escape pod.

Sharana, upon seeing the escape pod, moves inside. She immediately starts looking for: rations, med pacs, tents, backpacks, a tool kit, canteens, other survival gear, blaster packs, blaster pack rechargers. Unloading what she finds outside the pod, she takes what tools she has and starts dismantling the pod to build a proper emergency shelter, as the pods were designed for.

"That is entirely up to you. You can help or go it alone. Wear something comfortable. There are many things here, large and small that will kill you and eat you. If you're lucky, it'll be in that order."

Gilly will help break the pod down, that being finished in about three hours. If anyone else assists, it takes a half hour less for everyone who helps.
