<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Where have I heard that before...<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> WT nodded, reaching out for his master, slowly. "So, where are we headed?"

OOC: Can someone tell me what is going on? I am a little lost...

"To an old imperial outpost, and a lot of trouble. I was there ealier, and it didn't do too well that time. Perhaps, if there were a few more to accompany Master Solo, and myself, the odds would work more to our favor." Raven told WT, and smiled.

"We need to find out way a previously abandoned building is now worth the high security. Why is it important now, of all times? Isn't a few of us just the teensy bit curious?"

OOC: Oh...you're not the only one that's lost, Wade. Check the council room if you haven't already, that shoulsd help you out some, at least to what is going on.

As Amalia entered the restaurant, she took one quick glance about the place. She found that only a few of her fellow Jedi were inside, but where were all the rest?...

Well, this does slow us down a bit doesn't it? So much for us all meeting in one place, but oh well. Not like I had or wanted to do anything better anyhow. I'm sure we'll eventually get to the real mission at hand by the days end, that is if we're still not searching for everyone by the nights end.

Amalia hadn't really expected everyone to go scattering about, no, actually, she had not expected anyone to get lost. It didn't really appeal to Amalia, having to go off track, looking for the rest of the members, it slowed down their progress. However, it was not as if Amalia had not expected this, not all of the Jedi had been to this planet before. If one had never been here before, it was easy to get lost and not find your way back to where you were supposed to be.

Though she knew one particular Jedi who she was sure had been here before...Kahn. Yet now he was no where to be found, nor was his companion.

uh oh...I hope those two are alright.

She quickly stepped in front of the three exiting Jedi. Glancing at each one for a split second, her eyes falling on WT last, or Tiny, as Amalia liked to call him.

Worried about your Master, were you?..

She smiled thoughtfully down at him.

I'm glad to see that you're not lost.

She slowly looked back up, crossing her arms at the same time. Her gaze swept across all three Jedi very quickly.

Interesting...

Then, as if unexpected, her gaze swept over Raven, looking her over up and down, yet her face was impassive as she did so.

My...even more interesting...

Her gaze was to fall on Leia last, she smiled lightly, knowing that something was gonig on, but knew not of what yet.

No...I don't think you three have been together all this time...No, I don't think so at all.

Amalia frowned with a half smirk.

"So..which one of you Jedi cares to fill me in first?"

Her eyes were centered on Raven once more.

"Perhaps it best that I start with you?..."

Raven said nothing for the moment and so Amalia looked around the restaurant and then back again.

"You all seem to be heading off somewhere, I assume it's to find someone. I came here...thinking I would find all of my fellow Jedi, and well.."

Amalia gestured with her two hands to the three Jedi in front of her.

"I find only three of them, not good, not good at all. I expected no one, and I mean no one, to go wandering off on their own..."

Amalia didn't appear to look too happy, but then again, she didn't know the whole story either.

"...Perhaps I should have made that clear before we left...My own fault. Still, I would have thought, that each and everyone of you Jedi would have had the common sense not to wander off on your own, without a fellow Jedi member to accompany you...."

The expression on her face had been stern, and now it had changed suddenly to a more calm and soft gaze.

"...I see we have some members missing, not just one, nor two, nor three, quite a few..."

"...So I must say, it does not bring me pleasure that I have found you, due to the fact that there are more Jedi missing. Least I not forget to mention that one of you has seemed to have found themselves in some kind of trouble..."

She eyed Raven.

"...I can't help wonder if that is my fault, because I did not make my directions clear before we left...."

"...So again I ask, which one of you cares to explain to me.....just what is going on here?..."

She waited, wondering silently to herself, just how much trouble the group itself was in.

Her words were not really centered at Leia, but more on Raven and WT.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> I didn't mean to disappear liek that without you master, my apologies.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Well...I haven't actually been with anyone...master. I was caught in a crowd of people and I...couldn't get out." He grins nervously. "I tryed to find you, or anyone else of our party. But that didn't actually go very well."

"Okay, so we have a case of mis-communication. Though, I'd imagine that we'll manage to smoothe things over eventually. How often do we go on missions in large groups like this?" Raven asked, shrugging her shoulders, bitting her lip painfully with the movement.

"Not many. Normally, the groups are usually numbering in sets of two or so. And, to answer to your question, I was with another person, it's just that after we returned, he went back, while I was trying to sleep. Of course, not a good idea. The first trip there got the results you now see."

"It appears that it's not just Tec that has disapeared, but a few others as well. Perhaps we can split up, and look for them, and return here. Then, we could perhaps have that mission briefing you were hoping to have in the first place. Hopefully, Master Amalia, we can actually get this mission moving in the proper direction."

OOC: This is what I get for not keeping up with threads...oh boy, here goes nothing. I will now attempt to explain Kahn's absence for so long.

IC:

After the group of Jedi had dispersed once the shuttle landed, Kahn had felt a strange need to go off on his own for once. It wasn't that he disliked any of the other Jedi; he simply wanted a chance to explore on his own. And so, with his backpack on and lightsaber clipped to his belt, Kahn had started off on his own through the crowded Coruscant streets. After a bit of sightseeing, as well as making a mental map in case he were ever lost in the vast city, the Jedi Knight decided to stop at a local cafe for some nourishment. Ordering a non-alchoholic drink and a small meal, Kahn quietly observed his surroundings and the other customers.

Unfortunately for the Jedi, his prescense did not go unnoticed. Although Kahn was in no danger from Sith or the like, there were always other minor distractions to be reckoned with. After all, not all beings supported the Jedi's quest for peace. Some believed they had no business meddling in the affairs of others. Such were the beliefs of three drunk humans, who approached Kahn after he had left the cafe. Sensing that they were following him, the Jedi knew better than to continue. Rather, he turned and faced the three.

"Something I can help you with, gentlemen?"

Although he knew perfectly well that the three did not want to chat about the weather, Kahn felt that he should at least give them the benefit of a doubt. The humans leered at Kahn and exchanged looks with one another. One of them spoke in speech that was slurred by alchohol.

Drunk#1: "Yeah, yous can help us, Jedi. Help us rid the city of your scumbag hide!

Without warning, all three produced blasters. However, Kahn had suspected something like this and, in a flash, had his saber out and ignited. A barrage of blaster fire assaulted the young Knight, but he had already tapped into the living Force and was able to deflect the bolts back at his attackers. A crowd was growing around the battle, and the Force warned Kahn of approaching danger. It seemed the three humans had buddies who wanted to crash the party. Knowing that more opponents would mean he would have to kill some of them to avoid being injured himself, Kahn decided instead to escape. Using Force Push, he sent the orignal three flying backwards. Then, the Jedi quickly used the Light Side to turn the crowd's attention to the oncoming attackers. He stepped into a small warehouse nearby. From there, Kahn made his way out the back door, onto a completely different street. By now, he was regretting his decision to go out on his own. Reaching out with the Force, Kahn found a strong signal coming from where Amalia and the others were gathered. Following that signal, he journeyed to that place, and approached the other Jedi silently, aware that something was going on.

OOC: I kinda just skimmed the posts, so if I've got something wrong in here that doesn't flow with the RP, then just tell me and I'll edit.

OOC: Done


Leia raised an eyebrow and spoke up, having been uncharacteristically silent the entire time. She was standing behind Raven and WT, and had gone mostly overlooked until now.

"Perhaps, Raven, this mission is already going in the right direction, and we just fail to see it? The Force works in various and odd ways, indeed."

Her gaze landed on Amalia and did not move.

"I believe it would be best to collect as many Jedi as can be found currently, and have you go with Raven to find Tec. There must be a very good reason as to why he is risking himself in such a manner. I suggest he should be aided in discovering it.

I can stay here, pick up the stragglers, and hunt down the other errant Jedi. This I am capable of doing successfully on my own, allowing all of you to devote your attention to whatever lies ahead. I can catch up as I may, or offer support later."

Wade sighed as he listened to Deefour rattle on and on about absolutely nothing.

"...and I'm sure Rocky would agree when I say that this part of the city is <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> not[<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the part we want to be in."

"And I think Rocky is braver than you"

"How rude Master Wade!.That rusty junk heap is afraid of his own shadow!"

"Look at it this way,when we get back to Naboo you can tell Rocky that you went into the darker parts of Courascant and didn't complain"

"Didn't complain indeed"

Wade just rolled his eyes.

"Sir...just what are we looking for"?

"I don't know.The old Jedi Temple maybe?"

"But sir,if my data banks are correct the old Jedi Temple is on the other side of the planet"

"No kidding"

"So what are we really looking for"?

"The other jedi"

"You mean....we are....lost"?

"Yeah Deefour,we're lost"

"Oh my!"

Wade quickly found a Hovertaxi and got inside,along with his droid companion.Once inside he reached out to the Force and tried locating some other Jedi.He felt a sense of danger nearby and found,to his surprise,that it was Kahn.The Jedi was moving away and toward another place.Wade mentally tracke his movement and finally found the other Jedi.

He ordered the hovertaxi to that place and once it had landed he got out and joined the rest of the jedi.

Tec jumped at the sound of a boot landing behind him, but when he turned, he didn't see anything. He ignited his lightsaber and then walked off down the hall.

After he reached the end of the hall a few minutes later, he walked down the staircase that he found, and gasped when he reached the bottom. The smell of dead bodies went through his nose, and he had to work hard not to vomit. He looked around and found three bodies on seats like what he had found Raven on earlier that day.

Oh, God, Raven. I'm glad we got you out of here when we did. These bodies don't look more than....A week old.

Spinning around, he swung his lightsaber up and forced it into the man that had sneaked up behind him. The shock of the man was clear, but Tec knew he was not a good guy, and from the coat he was wearing, he could tell that he had just lowered the number of torture doctors by one. He took the man's id card and coat, put them on, and put on a disguise with the Force to match that of the man. A moment later he moved the body into a closet with nothing in it.

Walking down another hall, he turned the a corner, and froze....
