Asri nodded and grabbed his arm. When he pulled she jumped, resulting in both of them tumbling down the side of the hull and landing roughly on the grass beside the ship, with Maskis on top of her.
"Get off!" Asri hissed, finding the situation very embarrassing and knocked him off. She stood up and brushed herself off a moment before looking at him. "Let's get out of range before that generator blows." Without waiting for a response she took off in the direction they had hidden the speeder. "Looks like you got a lot of reading and thinking to do tonight eh?" She said as she got into the speeder and watched as Maskis did the same.

He nodded as the speeder took off back toward theed. A sudden thump was heard as the pod found itself back in it's retainer no doubt breaking something in the process. "Lets just hope this reading isn't something that's bad..." he said as they flew across the ground and toward theed
Maskis heard another thump as the generator aboard the prowler finally surcome to the damage it had sustained, and exploded, although it was sightly muffled thanks to the way it was loagged into the crevise, it no doubt caused an earthquake that spread for several miles, possibly even going to theed, in the distance he could see black smoke rising from where the prowler had once been. "Thats one problem we don't need to worry about now." he said as he flipped through one of the datapad's information pages. Most of this information relate's to the events that occured four years ago.... he said as his gut began to twist and an odd feeling came to him, he always got that feeling when something happened to Lavality. "Get us back to Theed... fast...."

"Well you're the one that's driving, so put the petal to the metal." Asri quipped as she leaned back into her set.
I hope we aren't questioned by the local police about that explosion. She thought as Theed loomed larger and larger in front of them. It would be 'awkward', at the very least, trying to explain what they were doing, though she supposed they could just out right lie as long as no Jedi are part of the investigation. What was on that data pad also worried her, going by the concerned expression on Maskis' face. It was likely, however, that she was preve to whatever it is he was concerned about, meaning if he asked for her help again she'll be going in about as blind as she did this time.
Fortunately they reached the Academy with no hassling from the local police and Asri felt like taking a well deserved shower....

Maskis rode the speeder toward a deserted alley way after letting Asri off, he then stashed it and made it seem like a near by criminal had actually taken it. He then made off toward the academy and went straight for the cafeteria
There he got himself something to eat and began to review the paid

[font=Lucida Console]The following is classfied information, security staff eyes only.[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]The following is information related to Lavality Serendives. [/font]
[font=Lucida Console][/font]
[font=Lucida Console]Age: 12[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]Occupation: Rear Admiral[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]current family: Deceased[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]Current Location: Theed, Jedi Academy[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]Important information:[/font]
[font=Lucida Console][/font]
[font=Lucida Console]Lavality, despite her military training, is still a kid and thus shouldn't be treated harshly. While she has the aura of authority around her, treating like a kid isn't recommended. Two months ago a recon team found an abandoned bio lab located several kilometers under Dantooine's surface. There the team found file's and reports related to human genetic research. Among the people listed was Lavality[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]We are unsure what this means, but the files clearly state that she was grown four year's ago and was to be breed as an assassin, her mission was to assassinate the leaders of the Trandoshan and Wookiee governments, but also to go after the Coalition and Jedi Order, however as we already see, this has not happened[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]What puzzled me is this: She was grown four years ago, yet she looks like a twelve year old girl... what does this mean?[/font]

[font=Lucida Console][/font]
[font=Lucida Console]New Report:[/font]
[font=Lucida Console]We've been picking up trace signals coming from seven different worlds, each signal seems to corralate to a point in space where Lavality has been. We feel something much be done to figure out WHO is doing this.[/font]
There's another disturbing thing. Lavality's name has appeared on the bounty hunter list as a one billion bounty. This is a concern to me for if we intend to investigate this we'll need to do something about them if we intend to investigate these strange occurances

Maskis clasped his hands and put the pad down. "Interesting...." he said and took a sip of his drink.

For the next few days Asri spent her time mostly relaxing, her lessons with Kohee’ka helping with that. She enjoyed her dancing lessons with the Twi’lek very much and she was sad to see Kohee’ka have to leave with the rest of the Carnival: she hoped she would see her again someday.
In the meantime, when she wasn’t hunting or playing with the kids, she practiced what she was taught by the Twi’lek. Knowing the stigma her people had against fellow Trandoshans that took up the activity, Asri made use of one of the spare classrooms for privacy. She had to purchase a music player and some music disks, but that was well within her budget. What she had to force herself to cut down on though, was buying dancing cloths: she found she couldn’t get enough of them.
Once one of the younglings mistakenly walked in on one of her practices and told her told she ‘danced pretty’. The albino couldn’t help but blush and asked him not to tell anyone. Of course, kids being kids, all the younglings quickly found out and soon after if they weren’t in training, they were looking to see if she was practicing. This meant that a handful of times she had a sizeable audience and she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous about it, especially when Silonik and his friend Mortor were watching. She got used to it quickly enough, as since they were kids they would be more open minded about the idea of a Trandoshan dancer. Asri did wonder how long it would be until one of the older residents started attending her practice sessons. It wasn't long…
She was going through one of her dancing routines, her eyes closed and immersed in the music when she heard someone come in. Assuming it was one of the kids, she continued dancing and didn't let it bother her. After a couple of minutes she opened her eyes to look to see who had come to watch and saw Trazu gaping at her. It was such a shock to her to see him there that she stumbled and tripped over her own feet, spilling to the floor unceremoniously. Her spill must have broken whatever spell she had placed on Trazu, for the next instant he was at her side, helping her untangle herself from her own limbs.
“Are you alright?” He asked.
“I’m fine…” Asri replied sheepishly. “You startled me…that’s all.”
“Sorry…I…should have knocked or something first.” He explained, looking a little embarrassed. “I was wondering why there was music playing in here. New hobby?”
“You…could say that…” Asri didn’t dare to look at his face, fearing his disapproval. This was silly though, why should she care what he thought?
“From what little I got to see, you’re very good at it.” She heard him say softly. “And you have a good eye for attire. It brings out your eyes nicely.”
Finally she looked at him, only to see a smiling, almost loving expression on Trazu’s face. “You don’t disapprove?” She asked.
“Why should I?” He said with a shrug. “You should know by now that my whole family, if not the whole Clan is full of T’Doshok that are more open minded then most. It’s far too rare for a T’Doshok to take up a profession that shows our more…beautiful…side.”
This was starting to go down a road that made her feel uncomfortable, queasy almost, though she couldn’t understand why. So she changed the subject. “I wasn’t expecting you to return so soon Lord Trazu. Did the expedition go well?”
She saw him wince a the term ‘Lord’, remembering too late that he hated being referred to as a noble in any sense. “Yes and no…more on the ‘no’ side.” He said with a sigh. “The only good news is that we now know there is something very wrong with the Force itself, if you can even call that good news.”
“That sounds like bad news to me…” Asri said softly. “Do continue though.”
“I’m not sure if I am at liberty to say.” Trazu said with his arms wide in another shrug. After looking around a moment to ensure no one else was close enough to hear, he went on. “But it looks like the Force is getting torn apart.”
“What?” Asri said, not believing what she just heard. “How?”
“We don’t know.” Trazu said helplessly. “But the Jedi are going to be hard pressed to find out what’s causing it and try to reverse the damage, if it’s not already too late.”
“What will happen if the Force is…destroyed?”
“To be honest I don’t even want to speculate…” Trazu said with a fearful frown. “Nothing good…that’s for sure. There’s something else as well…”
“What’s that?” Asri asked, not sure if she wanted to know.
“Lavality stowed away on our ship and had a nasty encounter with a dark spirit. I was able to drive it off with her help, but she suffered physically for it.”
“What happened to her?”
“She no longer knows who she is…or where she came from…or anything. And…” He let out a deep sigh. “She’s developed this strange fixation on me, refuses to leave my side in fact. She begged me not to leave her room when I put her to bed.”
Oddly enough, besides the amnesia thing, she found that kind of amusing. “She’s sounding like a clingy five year old.”
“It’s already getting on my nerves…” Trazu admitted.
"I'm sure she'll remember everything soon enough and I bet she'll be all apologetic for the embarrassment."
"I can only hope..."

The girl stared at the ceiling for a few before pushing her sheets off and wisping her legs around, she stared at the wall a few more times, wondering where the Trandoshan was who she saw. "Don't leave me...." she said as grabbed hold of the sheets even tighter, fear running through her ever so tently
Maskis had been in the cafeteria when word finally got to him that the exhibition had returned, he hurried down the hall toward Lavality's quarters when he got close a sudden spike went through him, it felt like the person beyond the door wasn't her, but he knew that was impossible
The impossibility soon turned into possibility for when he opened the door he noticed Lavality sitting there and looking toward the ceiling. "A-Admiral!" he said
The girl turned toward her the look on face turning into shear terror and her scream was louder than he could stand, but it wasn't that that caused him to bolt out of the room. It was familier objects that floated in the air; his first instinct was to back away. "Now.. Lavality calm down!"
"Demon!" She yelled as one of the objects flew at him, the object was a knife that was given to her by her father, Fikan. The knife flew try and true and just missed him by a centimeter.
Maskis was already at the doorway when that knife went by him. "Hey! Wait! Don't you reconize me!"
"Demon.... get away!" she yelled as another object, this time the dresser, flew at him. This time he decided staying wasn't the right idea, and instead bolt out of the doorway just in time to have the dresser inbed itself inbetween the door way.
"Geez..." he said as he backed away a few feet. He was about to say something else when a fork flew right out from under him, barely missing the groin, and hitting the wall. Instead of staying, he left to seek Trazu.
