the Ghost of Future Vegetable Peeling

by Jedi Knight VN Ysadora

Force willing, Goss will be done with his bandit issue when we get there. And I can separate him from the Fremen fairly quick so we can have a sincere talk.

And then maybe I will have time to go get a baked good or something, because I am tired of eating that stuff in the Kylo's Star pantry.

 
Something's got to balance the scales here, because I hate doing the "authority of the rank of Commander" thing. And all my guys know that. But they still need me to do it on occasion.

There's just got to be a meskouta in it for me, is what I'm saying.

 
Instead of finding a meskouta cart, I find the Mand'alor! I don't have Mr. Cee but I do have the Thingy In A Sack which we have been transporting without touching. I can finish transporting it into the possession of its owner! That's one problem down.

 
Why did we initially request Lady Ventress's presence here? Was it about the Revolving Temple?

Maybe.

That was six weeks ago. I've mostly been on Nar Shaddaa since then. I know the Thingy In A Sack was maybe six or seven days ago. Which means we woke up Mr. Cee that same amount of time ago, because we did those on the same day at the same location.

 
Lady Ventress is ready for me to introduce Mr. Cuylin to her, if I'm not busy. But I am busy: I need to go do the Chaplain thing. Is it acceptable for me to go find Mr. C and bring him to wherever she cares to relax?

It's a great plan right up until an explosion goes off at the nearby government building. What the...?

 
A sliver of the Dark Side slips through that area of New Etmar district. It snuffs out a life.

Vishan Pel?
— Vanya to GM

 
At the same time, a much bigger cluster of the Dark Side builds itself up north. I have an impression like two trapdoor spiders, getting ready to jump from ambush.

 
I don't have time to explain properly to Reese. I describe Vishan Pel in the most minimal terms. I mention sniper math. I ask him to mess up Vishan Pel (or whoever's) ongoing assassination.

Of Cap'n Kolene, I ask does she feel like doing sniper work.

Aerena: What do you need me to do?


Vanya: I need you to get in your X-Wing and come in hot.

— is running to her X-Wing going to take too long for me to be asking it of her?

 
General Alarm:

Distress Call

Beskar Aran channel

 
Jenkins taps in to give me his most urgent concerns.

Jenkins addressed me by name.

Wow. Lots of this going around.

I wish I had time right now.

Jenkins has Doc watching his back -- albeit, Doc stepped away a few minutes ago to check on something.

Jenkins can't connect to Goss or Rico. At all. They were last known to be up to the north.

I tell Jenkins that I want him to literally have his back against one of his brothers, right now.

And then, as I run with the crowd northward, I gather up the Force around me so that I can feed it into Jenkins.

Once he is boosted, I dump a little more Force into the connection between Jenkins and Hicks to get that active.

 
When I arrive at the problem location, it turns out Lady Ventress is to my right.

It's going to be an interesting day!

Five Republic troops are on site, a mix of humans and noghri. They show a lot of anxiety in their body language. They know that something mighty hinky is going on.

Jenkins says he can connect to Goss and Rico but neither get nor give useful signal. He's getting interference.

There is an obelisk here. I think my vode might be underneath it? I move toward it while starting the breathing pattern for Djem-So.

I advise the Republic troops to do an orderly retreat to a position where they can follow the commands of Mand'alor Ventress. She is the galaxy-renowned expert in this kind of situation.

 
I think I'm going to be pulling a "Hey, Aurra Sing!" on this whole canyon....

 
Discussion in the background of the languages carved into the obelisk and the bridge. Eborrean and maybe "Rakata"? on both, ancient Sith also on the obelisk.

 
My guys are unconscious in the whatever. While So'Zen is drawing aggro (because ... Reasons), I'm going to run over there. I need to clear off all the unnatural whatsits immediately here. If I push in for melee combat, that means I have multiple opponents simultaneously, right? Maybe I can get through them in just a few seconds.

I really really need to get the unconscious people out of the space below the sand!
