Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Thank you all for being patient.)

Hoshi had walked the halls for a good hour or so before requesting the other that were to be on the mission with her to meet up. She had decided that she was to make sure she had herself mentally together before calling them. She stood outside of the hanger going over what she had read about Korriban. She had remained quiet for the whole day so far not even word had passed her lips.

Malice rose from his meditation in the private contemplation chamber within his quarters. Hoshi had sent the call to arms only a short while ago, and Malice reached through the force toward the newly appointed Jedi Knight. 'I sensed your apprehension Pada---...Knight Hoshi, are you well?' Malice had nearly slipped, it was difficult to break the habit of referring to both Hoshi and Janlu as Padawan and Apprentice. They had both gone through much in the years since they had chosen the life of an Outcast, Malice was both pleased and proud of their many accomplishments within the order under his tutelage. Malice smiled, his heart awash with conflicting emotions regarding them both, as he donned his Mandalorian Mask and settled his cloak back upon his shoulders. Moving with purpose through the halls of the Temple, Malice paused for a brief moment outside Janlu's quarters, his head turning ever so slightly to regard the closed door. He felt her absence from his side with an acuteness he did not believe possible. Knowing she was elsewhere in the galaxy, Malice continued on his way toward the hangar. Sensing the two ahead Malice slowed his pace, turning the corner with no more sound then Death's Whisper, cloaking himself in the force, but was surprised when he realized that though Hoshi had not moved, she had sensed him. "You have come far indeed Jedi Knight, not many would have been able to sense my presence after I had deliberately hidden it." Turning to take in the sight of Yom Nole in full raiment, Malice's hidden smile grew larger. "Well met Commander. I trust your Squad is on their way here now? I am eager to meet them. Individuals with such Decorated service records are hard to come by, even among we Mando'a. I took the liberty to have some friends redesign this for you, a gift for your promotion." Malice unslung the rifle that had been hidden behind him, bringing the barrel up to point past Commander Nole. "This DXR6 Heavy Carbine Rifle has been upgraded with current top of the line firing chamber, Power Pack, and barrel. It's output is on par with any Mandalorian Heavy Blaster Rifle, yet with a quicker fire rate, and slightly hire Accuracy rate with less recoil. Using a specialized Tibanna Gas, the Bolts fired from the Barrel are invisible to the naked eye, and it comes complete with a modular armament system uplink that can integrate with your armor. This software suite will add a automatic screen to your visor that won't interfere with your vision but will allow you to see the bolt that is fired from the weapon. On top of that, it will integrate with the gun when the rifle is brought up against the shoulder, placing a reticule on your visors hud, and allowing you to cyle through none, 2.5, 6, and 12x zoom. And for you Hoshi, I took the liberty of speaking to your sister, who sends her love along with this crystal and letter." Malice turned the rifle over to Nole, reached into his cloak and drew out a small lumped envelope, which he handed to the young Jedi Knight. "The crystal is unique, I have not yet had a chance to properly study it yet, but it can be used as a focusing crystal, and is steeped in the lightside of the force. Your sister said she found it near a old Krayt cave in the Tatooine Dune Sea. I hope it serves you well"

Yom blinked several times behind his helmet before smiling behind his faceplate taking the weapon offered to him by Malice, nodding his thanks before turning his full attention to the new piece of equipment, working it in his hands to get a feel for the weapon. making sure the power pack was removed he brought the weapon up to his shoulder feeling it fall right in to place and feeling his grin take on a slightly evil shade as the targeting reticule appeared on his HUD. finishing his quick inspection, Yom slapped the power pack back in place before lowering the weapon in to a relaxed carry stance and returned his attention to Malice " Well Met Indeed Lord Malice. I would offer to introduce you to the men personally some have already been deployed. I will be sure to inform you upon there return. and whomever you had craft this fine weapon" he gestured with his new Rifle." Is to be commended. it is a magnificent tool of war."

Hoshi thought for a moment on which ship to take. "May I ask a question" she asked Yom Nole " Do you have a preference when it comes to piloting or just a passenger?"

Yom turned to face the newcomer, eyeing the force user with some curiosity before saying "What matters is trust you made it, welcome to our little operation." Nodding slightly to Sion he turned and addressed the group, " Is that everyone?"

Sion nods to Yom, True. He looks at the one who arrived after him, So the five of us then. This should be fairly easy if things go as planned. He turns to face Hoshi, as she is the leader of this mission, and awaits further instructions.

Hoshi greeted Sion and Dremora. "I am glad you all could make it. I figure you all would like to know what we are setting out to do on this mission. We are firstly trying to get more information on where M..Master Kurosaki is being held and secondly we are to assist him in returning back here to us." She was trying to use as much of her manners as possible. Hoshi had been waiting for this mission for a while thinking of as many ways as possible to get Naku back.

Sion listens closely to what Hoshi said, Kurosaki went missing? That can't be good. He turns to look at Dremora, If there's anyone I know that can withstand the pull of the dark side it's Hoshi. I've met a lot of people in my life. I've never said that about anyone. Ever. they never earned it. Not even my Master, or Master Shaak Ti for that matter. He smiles slightly under his hood to show that he meant no disrespect to Dremora's cautions.
