When the ship Hoshi was in landed she hurried out to where Janlu found the person that sent the distress call. Hoshi stayed near the injured woman "We're here. We will get you out of there and warm." Seeing the woman still shivering "You can use one of my robes to get warmer if you like." Hoshi took off her outer most robe and offered it to the woman. After that she looked around the site to see if there was something there that could be of immediate help.

When Thanatos walked out of the ship, he got a closer look at the damage to the Togruta's body. Oh how intriguing the humanoid was none too damaged. Though the leg would perhaps give discomfort for the rest of her life, it was not bad at all. Though it was annoying for Hoshi to be in the way. He grew a crooked grin, the jedi was still conscious and her Light-saber was like a snake waiting to strike Hoshi. Thanatos would have loved to have waited and seen if Hoshi would be attacked, but that would mean Thanatos would have two patients.
He walked to the both of them and said, "Get out of my way." At this point he raised his hand near the fallen Jedi and connected himself to her mind. She was weak, too weak to fight back. He raised her endorphins in her mind, causing comfort. He also confused her nerves by replicating the feeling of a warm bed. He did this until he found her link with her brain that indicated that she was concious and severed it. When she woke up, she would have a mild headache, but for now she would feel like sleeping in a big luxurious bed. When he verified that she was no longer conscious he set to work first removing the rock and set her leg for when he replicated her body's structure, the process would take maybe 5-10minutes. He first started boosting her bone's calcium, letting the cells connect naturally to the other bone, then set her muscles, ligaments, joints, etc. Repairing the leg.
He got up from his concentrated trance. He spoke to Janlu, "For now make sure she stays off the leg for a while. Any strenuous activity could undo my hard work. I would be very displeased to waste my time again repeating the process." He used the force to raise her body in the air and had her follow him to Janlu's ship into the med-bay. He strapped her securely, so that she would not fall. He sat in a chair and connected himself with her talking to her subconscious.
He initiated conversation, "My name is Thanatos, do not be afraid. Your body is mended."

Tetroneaque didn't seem to mind Janlu basically using him as a pillow during the flight, though he did find it just a little bit odd. Still he was rather comfortable himself and dozed off as well. While he slept though he felt a great many things. It was like he could feel everyone's emotions...well everyone that he'd spoken to telepathically on that first day. The mix of emotions coming from everyone was a little disorienting even in his sleep, yet he felt an immense calm coming from nearby...but it wasn't on the ship he was on. No, it was coming from behind the ship... from the one that Janlu called Ash.
Tetroneaque vaguely recalled the thoughts he'd picked up from that one on the first day Tetro had come to the Temple. The thoughts radiating from him now were much calmer than on that first day, almost like they were coming from an entirely different person. He had no idea what any of this meant, as it was like he was watching these thoughts through a window instead of experiencing them himself. Before he could do anything else but observe and wonder why he felt these little connections to everyone, he woke up when Janlu got up. It seemed that they'd arrived!
Tetroneaque still wondered what all those thoughts were. He'd never experienced anything like that with his own kind. It was odd... yet strangely fascinating. Tetroneaque clung to Janlu's back, hanging like a fuzzy backpack as she seemed to forget him for the moment. He peeked over her shoulder as she got off the ship and ran to check on the crash site, continuing to let her carry him about. When they saw the person they'd come to rescue, Tetro dropped down from Janlu's back as she ran back to the ship to get some medical supplies.
It seemed that Janlu's action would be unnecessary, as Hoshi draped one of her robes over the shivering figure and then Thanatos set about miraculously healing the injured person. Tetroneaque crept closer to get a better look, never having seen anyone healed in such a manner. He couldn't help but tap into that little mental link he'd created with Thanatos earlier, and luckily he didn't seem to be noticed by Thanatos who was too bust healing the stranger. Tetroneaque could see the energy being manipulated, felt like he could reach out and touch it himself if he tried but he didn't dare for fear of ruining whatever it was that Thanatos was doing.
Next he watched as Thanatos lifted the unconscious figure, levitating her back to the ship. Tetroneaque padded after them all, following everyone back to the ship's medical area. Once the unknown being was strapped down, presumably so she wouldn't fall off during transit, Tetroneaque noticed she was still shivering. While her mind might be at ease, her body was still at a lower than normal temperature. Tetroneaque decided he could at least help with that by keeping her warm.
As Thanatos brought a chair to sit next to the patient, Tetroneaque hopped up onto the table and curled up on her lap to share his body heat and help her stay warm. He made sure to avoid touching her leg at all, not wanting to hurt her. Tetro closed his little mental link with Thanatos then, for fear that the fellow might finally notice the subtle spying he'd been doing. "You're an excellent healer, I've never seen someone do what you did without the aide of nano-machines." he had a sense of respect in his voice as he spoke, keeping his tone low so as not to disturb the stranger that had been rescued. "And before you ask, no I'm not going anywhere. She's still very cold and needs to warm up, and I think I'm about the most warm natured one on this ship. I can at least do that much." Tetroneaque made himself comfortable, curled up like an oversized cat on the alien's lap.

Sherasti tensed as one of the jedi got closer...despite what she was saying, Sherasti was still somewhat suspicious. Through slightly chattering teeth, she finally spoke.
"K-k-keep away from m-me...."
She then ignited her saber at about the same time she heard a voice telling the jedi to get out of the way...this one looked more like a sith. This was bad, as she knew she wouldn't be able to fight a sith in her condition. This fact was reinforced by the fact that he rather quickly began doing something to her mind....she felt an overwhelming sense of...comfort? That's not what she expected...it felt really nice. She instinctively wanted to give in...but she tried to fight it as best she could. This didn't amount to much of a struggle in her weakened state however. It was about this time that he did something that caused everything to start fading to black...had he knocked her out? He must have...as she quickly ended up passing out, the saber dropping from her hand and falling to the ground.
The next thing she knew, she heard a voice speaking to her subconscious...it wounded like the sith from earlier. He had...healed her? Why would a sith heal her, a jedi? Almost against her will, she felt her curiosity come into play a bit more than her suspicions. She supposed this would be the best way to get answers, is to converse with this....Thanatos.
"Thanatos...? I am Sherasti...why would you heal me? This...isn't really making sense, I figured I'd either be dead or get taken back to the Council to have my connection of the Force stripped from me...."

Janlu returned from the ship with a brace for the patient's leg, it would help to keep it stable should she move for any reason. Searching through the wreckage for anything she may have left behind, Janlu found the girl's saber, taking it with her, but she didn't go back to the ship just yet. Remembering her friend in the dead ship, Janlu went over to Asher to see if he was alright. His ship seemed to be out of power for whatever reason and he seemed to be meditating inside. Knocking on the cockpit window, she called out to him, hoping they wouldn't have another patient on their hands and thinking it would be best for him to come aboard with them. The ship could be towed as it had been on they way here, but a ship without power was risky for life support.

He did not answer back to Tetroneaque. He had no need for praise, nor did he care about his position. He was not the caring type to look after his patients. He left the Jedi to that task.
Then he focused on Sherasti:
Yes he had figured that she would have questions. Fine he would placate and reassure.
He cackled at what she said about the Council, "Yes they would. Wouldn't they. The council has a heavy hand with such things, of course its nothing compared to what they do with captured Sith. They use the force to rearrange the victims mind making you into a vegetable under constant supervision, complete with a false tooth that had the capability of a frag grenade. Yes, they aren't so pacifist when they have the chance. Do not worry I am sure we would not take you back to them, if you wished. The order I am apart of does not uphold their rules of indoctrination. Though I am curious as to why you would run from them in the first place..."
He pondered her other question of why they would heal her. Truthfully he had not thought of why he would do such a thing in the first place himself. He shrugged and said, "As for why, I healed you... it was a experiment for me. I have not much practice with healing someone, it was best to practice on someone else before I would have need of it. Though it was a success. You would just need to stay off of your leg for a few days."

Hoshi wanted to explain she had no reason to want to harm her, but Thantos arrived. She kept quiet as she moved away still watching her not wanting to be too far away. She would continue to watch till they returned to the temple.

Janlu gave a confused scowl as Ash just exited his ship and entered the other without a word. At least he was fine, meaning only one person needed attention. She walked back to the ship, saber in hand, "I think this belongs to her," she mentioned as she neared. Seeing Tetro helping to warm the patient, she smiled, patting him on the head before finding a seat. The voyage home wouldn't be such a problem seeing as Thanatos seemed to be taking extra care to make sure the patient was fine. Hopefully she would be a little more open to comunication after she wakes. Her fear back on the planet was certainly understandable, but knowing she's safe might help her to calm down some.

Sherasti was actually fairly shocked at what he said they did with captured sith. She had no idea the council was that brutal. She remained silent as she took in this information, as well as his explanation as to why he healed her, before asking her next question.
"...you guys wouldn't? That is a relief to hear...though I am very curious to know what this order is that you are speaking of."
Then she remembered he had kind of asked why she had run away...or at least implied that he was curious. He was being nice enough to answer her questions....she supposed it would only be courteous to return the favor.
"If you really want to know...my master and I never really got along. I think he was jealous at the fact I was progressing faster than he had in the Force...though that is speculation. Clearly though he had some issue with me due to the fact he was going to take me to the council to make sure I had my connection to the Force severed, despite the fact I had saved his life....well rather, it was what I had used to save his life that was an issue, as I admittedly Force Choked the sith we were fighting. The thing is I love being connected to the Force, and really was horrified at the thought of never having that connection again. So, I took the escape shuttle in the ship we were in on the way back to the council, and now here I am."
She then waited to see how he would react, and what he would say next.

Hmm Thanatos, after a time of deliberation to whether or not he should have told her that, quickly found a solution. If she is deemed a threat later, we'll just eliminate her.
Thanatos replied to Sherasti's first question, "The order itself is called The Jedi Outcast Alliance. As to what it their philosophy is? I could only answer you my findings: 1.All aspects of the force are welcome. 2. They are neutral. 3.Regardless of their past, anyone is welcome to join as long as they follow the rules. If you truly wish to know more about the order and their philosophy, I would direct you to the owner of this ship when you wake up. Or perhaps some of the other masters back at the temple we are currently heading to.
As to her story. It sounded like classic Jedi politics. It was not so uncommon for a apprentice to gain higher power than the master. Thanatos found it funny that some of the jedi masters used the dark side more than they care to let on. Thanatos with amusement said, "It would seem the jedi are getting better at deception, but they are still a very long way from the more proficient use of it in this line of work.
As the conversation continued Thanatos slowly, but surely ran a diagnostics check on Sherasti's brain via the force. To check for any brain damage, such things were not so uncommon during crashes. However she seemed to be fine, both talking so clearly and framing questions of her own.

Tetroneaque continued doing his best to keep the patient warm, which was rather easy when you were as fuzzy as Tetro was. He let out a pleased murring noise when Janlu came over and pet his head, his ears standing straight up. Once Janlu went and found a seat, Tetroneaque spoke up for Thanatos to hear. "So what are you talking about with the patient? Would you mind if I joined in or just listened to the conversation?" He could easily tell that the two were having a mental conversation, but Tetroneaque knew it was rude to eavesdrop on it. All he could tell at the moment was that the two were communicating, unable to know exactly what information they might be sharing with one another unless he decided to join in telepathically.

Sherasti listened closely as he was explaining about this Outcast Alliance group...it really seemed to pull her attention for sure. She wondered if, perhaps, they would accept her where the jedi council would not? Certainly, something to mull over...and it made her feel more relaxed too, knowing she was in better hands than she had initially thought might be the case....she would need to apologize to the woman who has offered her a robe later.
"I....see. Well then, Thanatos...thank you for sharing this information with me. I would certainly like to see about joining the order...whenever I wake up anyway. How long did you knock me out for, anyway?"
She didn't seem upset by his actions in knocking her out. She could actually fairly easily see why he would have. Difficulty in healing her, possible injuries to one or more other people...it made sense to make her take a nap for a bit. She also didn't really have a reply to some of the stuff he said about the jedi masters...it was a lot to take in, and she needed to think on such possibilities before really having a conclusion.

Thanatos mentally shrugged. Then smiled eerily, "Do not thank me just yet. You do not know me." He left her then, severing the connection. Not bothering to answer her question about the length of time. He had wagered that she would be out for a few hours.
Thanatos looked up at the furry creature. Then said, "It was good that you did not enter my mind again creature. I would hate to give you another 'learning' experience. By all means, speak with the Togruta. I would hate to let her rest and gain her strength back by talking with you."
Thanatos left the med-bay then letting the creature ponder his words. But not before taking a small strand of Sherasti's hair. He pocketed it in his robes for later experimenting. Then left the med-bay, returning to the cockpit.

Tetroneaque's ears went flat at Thanatos' words. The man just rubbed the Kit'aru the wrong way... in many different ways. It seemed all attempts to try and mend the gap between them were doomed to fail due to the unfeeling nature of Thanatos, at least that was Tetroneaque's opinion on the matter. He didn't like the fact that the fellow took a hair sample from the unconscious patient either. Sure there might be some medical reason for it, but he doubted it was anything that benign.
After Thanatos left the room, Tetroneaque opened a mental link to the female that he was helping to keep warm. Even if she needed rest she also needed to know that Thanatos might be dangerous. His entrance to her mind wasn't forceful at all, instead it was like he simply knocked politely and entered.
"Hello? Can you hear me alright? I've never really tried talking to someone who was unconscious before... but it seems that I'm able to do so. Sorry for disturbing your rest, but I just felt that I should warn you to watch out for Thanatos. While he did heal you I doubt he did it for any noble reasons. Oh! I'm being rude though aren't I? I haven't even introduced myself yet. My name is Tetroneaque Swiftpaw Tailchaser, but everyone around here has taken to calling me Tetro for short. Pleasure to meet you." His mental voice was filled with genuine concern and kindness for this stranger, as after all he'd been in a very similar position not too long ago.
