Shikkar's Log

We find a stall selling the crystals, the stall holder ran at the sight of Rekha and Vazar. It pursued.

He was caught quickly. He bought the crystals from a woman, who said she had found a way to get the crystals off Arai. It was previously only three or four a time, this time it was a whole pack of them. She has no schedule to her visits; anything from a tenday to half a year. She was last seen five to seven days ago. He ran because the woman told him that if any Jedi saw him with the crystals, they would kill him. Vazar and Rekha assure him this is untrue, and buy the lightsaber quality crystals from the man.

We travel to Arai. The planet is a blasted void. There is, however, a fighter and a cleared cave entrance that leads to a natural crystal cavern. It is the woman from the vision. She could sense it, even through its cloaking of itself. She mentioned the Master.

It attacks. The others decide to join in. They will die. She will kill them.

JayThree joins the battle with his heavy blaster. -a crystal is shattered and it holds so much pain-

She chooses to leave. It pursues.

She escaped.

There are multiple issues. Supplies are being stolen. Then Republic rebuilding blueprints are inaccessible to the native Paaerduag. The Republic believe the Paaerduag are stealing to delay the construction. The Paaerduag want to try and find a missing architect who has made accessible plans.

Racial tensions are high. A riot almost started because of an incident between a human worker and a Paaerduag, but it helped defuse the situation.

Rekha and Vazar return to the ship to research the architect.

It has laid a trap for the thieves. Supplies have been sent to an empty building, to be installed tomorrow. Only the security forces know that they are there. It will wait.

Four thieves, wearing stealth field generators. Three humans and one Chandra-Fan. Two are captured (one of the humans and the Chandra-Fan). Non-lethal force was used, the prisoners were given to the local authorities.

It returned to the ship to pass what remained of the night.

We started the day intending to go to the architect's apartment, where they were kidnapped from. Only to discover that Tekli - the Chandra-Fan- has had a release order put in for him.

It politely questions Tekli. He tells it that he works for The Exchange, his boss is El'siphonen'kael, and the identity of the mole in the security force.

We then tracked Tekli once he was released, he led us to The Exchange headquarters. We entered via the roof, finding a large server bank. Vazar managed to gain access and gets a datadump, disables the building's turrents, and found the architect: Jo'vishanan'kael.

Heading through the building, we pass Tekli getting tortured, find the architect; and start to leave. There is a brief engagement on the ground floor, it takes some small blaster burns, but is still functional.

We return to the military base, alert them to the remaining Exchange members and their base. The architect can provide The Republic with accessible plans for the starport. Mission Success.

We return to Coruscant.

They asked questions. It answers. They ask how long it has been in stasis. It does not know. They ask if it has heard of the Mandalorian Wars. It has not. They ask what it is. It is a weapon.

They show it items retrieved from the base. The vibroblade its Master had given it for tasks before is there. Rusted, corrosion on the powerpack. It has been some time.

This is a test.

The Jedi have seemingly no issues with wielding a a weapon. But lack the skill to do so effectively.

It is taken to a training room and introduced to the two others it shall be working with. Rekha Kithra and Vazar Brooklet.

It was told to spar with them. They are not completely defenceless, but greatly lacking.
