Can we kill him already?

That maintenance worker is still talking to Davish about "information". I overhear So'Zen asking for help from Vance and there is a long conversation that begins to irritate me so I check in with Davish to see if there is anything he could do to help or if I should just go shoot the door and open it. Davish is attempting to talk with the maintenance worker who just turns and attempts to leave the hanger bay. He slams the door and they hold a brief conversation and then he allows the worker to leave. Davish asks me to take his burden and store it on the ship while he goes to help So'Zen. I meet him at the door and take the body and store it safely.
 
I am keeping one ear on the conversation So'Zen is having and encouraging him to leave her alone. Vance suggests showing her an entire holocron of Jedi Quest. So'Zen brings her to the ship and Vance and the lady go away to view the holocron and she puts him into the library system. Vance comes back and I ask the ship whether I need to stay or if she can handle it. She asks for permission to use lethal force and I agree. She immediately opens all of her gun ports, two-thirds face the hanger bay and one third is focused on the hallway where the maintenance tech went. Davish reminds me that we have to take the body with us and I ask if she can leave it behind if she has to leave before we get back. Since all of the priests must go with us to the artifact, she and I agree that leaving Catysus with her who can move the body to a safe location is the best option. He doesn't necessarily agree.
 
We go to So'Zen's door and Vance is able to put his hand on the keypad and it opens. He keeps his hand on the door while we pass him into an airlock type situation. When we are all inside, Vance opens the next door and then we are in a larger room where the head librarian is. He is busy working on a sheet of information and welcomes us. So"zen asks for the sheet that he is working on. He wants to finish researching it first. So'Zen, Vance, and the librarian discuss things for a while and I get bored.
 
I notice on one of the screens a depiction of a creepy transforming droid thing we saw once in the Tapani sector. They were nice to me, but Vanya was not happy with them. The third time the picture pops up, I ask the librarian about them and he says they left this galaxy a long time ago and are somehow tied to the Jedi in this galaxy. The librarian begins to set up stations for us to start "helping and learning" this galaxy since he is positive that we are stuck here. I flatly refuse to sit down and encourage So'Zen to move on. We go out the airlock to the north which gets us closer to the location where the beacon was. Then when Vance puts his hand on the pad to open the next door, it asks a question - that we can't read and gives us a choice of answers - that we also can't read. I suggest popping out a priest to translate and am very firmly taken to task for even mentioning them as apparently, they are a state secret.
 
Suddenly, I glitch. When I come out of it, one of the priests pops up. Apparently, someone prayed and she was sent in answer to the prayer. She translates the door which is asking if we have rebreathers. I say yes and she replicates one for each of us and then tells us to be aware that the next room has the potential for bad air, but not vacuum or high pressures - which would kill us anyway. She then insists that she goes back to Davish who must have been the one who prayed. Vance and she go back into the room and So'Zen does a Jedi thing at the door to keep the librarian uninterested. They walk over to Davish and talk.
 
And now we have a map of this station on our comm pads. I attempt to discuss life with So'Zen, but if I do it much longer I will have to kill him Vance and Davish come in and we get ready to go into the next room. Eventually, Davish and the priest fix each other and she opens the door for me. The green glow of the rift comes through the door and Davish falls asleep quickly since he never put on a rebreather. Vance puts the extra one on him and he slowly wakes. I move on into the room and see the rift - which looks exactly like the rift that had been in the sky over Calcedon.
 
There is also a translucent box that has a yellow goo and what appears to be a doll house. The priests are activated and they begin to look for the artifact. They don't know what they are looking for, but they say that if they recognize the item in the room, it is not the artifact. As they are looking around, suddenly there is a swarm of little bugs flying around and attacking. I activate my shield and move to protect the priests. One of the priests declares that he must save the beacon. So'Zen and Vance are swatting bugs and I grab the priest back. He is covered with bugs and I ask Davish to throw me the beacon. He does and I pass it back towards the priests when I find my hand and arm hugged within the rubbery folds of the priest covered with bugs. I start to feel little shocks as the bugs swarm from him onto my arm. Suddenly, the bugs die and I toss the priest around to remove the bug carcasses and toss him and the beacon back to his buddies and tell them to have a hug orgy with the beacon.
 
Then the remaining bugs start to swarm my shield bracelet. The airlock door to the north opens and the maintenance person from the hanger bay comes in, moves out of So'Zen's way, and starts to clean the room. I ask for him to get them off of my shield which he does and then he notices the priests. In his shock, he tells us there is a mind flayer and then Davish stuns him. We leave the priests behind to search for the artifact while we rush ahead to save So'Zen. I see a hallway back into the hanger bay and run over to check on Muinmos. She has only one gun pointed at the hallway and all others at the hanger bay doors. There appears to be someone attempting repair from the other side. I contact the ship and convince her to pull in her guns and go dark and wait to see if the ships coming in are actually an enemy. I remind her that her goal is to complete her mission. She agrees and I go to meet the guys who are standing in front of double doors that have been blocked up and unblocked numerous times.
 
I hear a voice that offers me the chance to fly everywhere. I ignore it and go meet the guys. I have a long conversation with what is probably the mind flayer and I again ignore its blandishments and promises though it is harder this time. It tells me that it is actually inside a hyperspace ship and I warn the guys just before they break through the door. We see what looks like a vorlonesqe ship with the capability to have writing on the side that changes. They guys discuss how to open it and Davish tosses a bit of the metal from the doors at it and it dings, but it is warped when it falls to the ground I speak up and say, "knock, knock" and the door spirals up. We discuss whether to go in or not and there is the head librarian behind us with a lightsaber that is attached to a power pack. He tells us that we should accept the invitation.
 
So'Zen goes first, Davish and the librarian go next, I follow them, and Vance brings up the rear. When we get to the room where the mind flayer is, there is a sense of dread. He is wearing a pilot's suit with light blue skin. It starts talking and the guys keep talking back. I suggest more than once that we should just kill it.
 
And finally
 
Davish is down in major pain and seems to be experiencing a glitch without the visual aspect. I shoot straight at where he appears to be standing - shooting straight for his face. It is just an image, but I manage to take out a gun emplacement coming out of the wall. Vance scans for the actual mind flayer. Then So'Zen closes his eyes and turns around and is facing the head librarian. The head librarian is in a state of shock and while attempting to get out of the way, he falls on his face beside me. Another person enters the ship and So'Zen parries his blow. Then attacks him and knocks him back. Vance goes next with a straight shot which would have worked if he hadn't stolen the lightsaber from the head librarian. He blocks the shot. I shoot his feet and knock him down.
 
 
Two reavers burst into the room and I shoot the first one coming in the door and irritate him enough to focus on me. I just tell him that he has fresh meat at his feet and to leave me alone. So'Zen takes a lightsaber to the second guy and cuts an arm off. Vance goes next and shoots the reaver and the flayer. Then Davish turns his powers on the flayer to keep him down and out. The two reavers attack Vance and So'Zen but do a very bad job of it. Then the flayer grabs the head librarian for a quick snack to get the energy for the fight. Vance kills the rever attacking him and then So'Zen takes out the one attacking him. So'Zen takes his lightsaber to the mind flayer's tentacles and manages to knock him unconscious.
 
Davish does a quick search, removes his weapons, and ties him up. Vance checks on the head librarian who rushes out the door when he finds out about the reavers. So'Zen follows and then Vance heads back to check on the priests. I head forward to the cockpit to check out the ship. This appears to be some sort of luxury yacht. There are lots of pretties around and I can see out the viewports. There is sunlight coming through the crystal above, but the ship is stuck.
 
Vance reports in that there were more reavers around, but they are dead. He is going to escort the priests back to their ship so they, the artifact, and the beacon home. Vance chimes back in with the information that the priests do not know what the artifact is, but will pray about it. No word comes from So'Zen.
 
I go back to Davish and fill him in on what I discovered about the ship and most of what Vance had reported. Vance checks in again to say that the priests found out that the artifact is a combination life signs monitor and homing beacon. I check to see if Vance had heard or seen So'Zen, but he hadn't. Neither of us could contact him and Vance suggested that Davish looks for him through the force.
 
Then So'Zen chimes in and tell us he has been in the vault. Apparently, he promised some scary women we would leave now.
Vance isn't happy with that so he does down to talk to the scary woman. He reports back that we have permission to kill the flayer which I do immediately since Davish went to get the body of the Crimson Knight. Vance calls in and checks on whether I feel confident in using this ship to get us home. I respond that I can fly it and I know which controls should be used but have no idea how to use them. He tells me to meet in the rift room.
 
We meet So'Zen and Vance carrying the glass box with the dollhouse in it. So'Zen says that is we take the yellow goo to the priests so they can get it home, then it will tell us how to get home. We get it on the ship with the priests and it tells us to dream hard about our home and then take a leap of faith. We go back to the rift room and Vance starts talking about the goddess that owes him a favor. So'Zen declares "I am one with the force and the force is one with me." and jumps into the rift. We discuss how to focus on the place where we want to go. Vance keeps trying to get us to use the ship instead, but I am ready to focus and jump.
 
I concentrate and jump.
