Welcome to Gaia! ::

This was it....this was the end. Of that, Sherasti was certain. Regardless of the fact that she had done it to save his life, her master was planning to see to it that she have her connection with the Force stripped upon return to the Council. All for Force Choking a sith that would have otherwise killed her master. What had she ever done to deserve such emnity from him? The only possibility she could think of was that he was jealous....jealous at how much more quickly she had progressed in the Force than he had....but that couldn't be it, could it? She sighed and silently exited her sleeping quarters in their ship....focusing on using her echolocation capabilities her race was capable of to see him coming.

Sure....she was a fast learner when it came to the Force. She always had been. She could almost instinctively copy a Force ability just from witnessing someone use it a few times. Sometimes a couple dozen, if it was a more tricky ability. What was apparantly "bad" to her master though, was the fact her innate curiosity lead her to study some into the dark side....while she disagreed with quite a few of their viewpoints, she found the capabilities that the Force could have when tapped into by one of the dark side to be fascinating. That's why she had studied into it in secret...though it wasn't until her master saw her Force Choke someone that this was revealed.

She was a Knight.....was. Now....now she didn't know what she was going to be, as she headed for the escape shuttle on her master's ship. Tears welled up as she punched in the code to prepare the shuttle for takeoff....she was leaving everything she had ever known behind with this one action. It was, however, better than the alternative...she loved being able to use the Force, to learn and to grow her own capabilities within it. To be severed with it...that was a fate she could not face.

As the door opened, she bid a silent farewell to the Jedi order, and set the course for the closest inhabitable planet. It did not appear to be populated very much at all...just a few settlements here and there. Environment seemed arid, and it was fairly rocky in terms of landscape. If she was lucky, she might land near one of the settlements. As the shuttle launched, she wondered how long it would be before her master realized she was gone...hopefully it would take a while. Hopefully, she'd figure out a way to avoid the jedi and the sith both...

After a while of floating through space, she entered the planet's atmosphere....she strapped herself in to brace for the impact. She had no idea how to land this thing...the best she could hope for was to survive a crash landing. As she saw the ground coming up, she braced herself for the upcoming impact....then all went black.

When she woke up next, she was severely disoriented....and hurting. Greatly in pain. She gasped from the pain in her leg...looking down, she saw that her left leg had ended up broken at the shin. She supposed she was lucky it was even still attatched, as it was pinned between what looked to be solid rock and the cold steel of the ship. That would help prevent blood loss, on the plus side...her right eye appeared to be coated in dried up blood, presumably from a cut on her forehead....but other than those two things, she appeared relatively unharmed. She would live...provided she got help. The shuttle wouldn't fly anymore that was for sure...but it seemed that she was able to access the computer just enough to activate a distress signal. All she could do from here was wait and see who would come, if anyone even did....it's not like she had much capability of going anywhere.

(OOC: This planet she landed on IS near the Outcast's planet, just as an FYI)

Tetroneaque was up even at this late hour. He was still getting adjusted to the day/night cycle of this new planet, along with the eating habits of the humans. Apparently they preferred to eat three meals a day, while he preferred five or six. As such he had taken to getting himself a meal each night after most of the others had taken to bed. He was just finishing up his little meal when his ears perked up at the sound of someone in the halls. He popped out of the eating area just in time to catch sight of Janlu turning a corner toward the control room. The Kit'aru's ears stood up at attention and his eyes widened slightly in a show of happiness.

Tetroneaque trotted after Janlu, wondering if she'd be willing to chat with him some before she went back to bed. While he may know the local language, he still had a lot to learn and Janlu seemed the only one that could spare the time to teach him. He was still having trouble with the whole 'smiling' thing, as it still made him look awkward whenever he tried it.

It seemed whatever Janlu was up to though was something a bit more important as she checked some items in the control room. Tetroneaque hadn't been given the chance to study anything in there yet, what with him still being rather new to his hosts. He understood fully and waited patiently outside the room until Janlu emerged a few minutes later. He fell into step beside her, being so quiet that he saw her twitch just a hair from surprise when he suddenly spoke.

"Good evening Janlu. What are you doing up so late?" He asked in a friendly manner, his tails already wagging happily.

While she normally might have noticed someone beside her as she exited to the hallway, Janlu was too caught up in the current events to pay much attention when Tetro greeted her. Slightly startled, she let out a gasp, noticeable only to herself, and then greeted him in return, "good evening," she grinned softly, patting him on the head. "I...felt something...needed to check and see if everything was alright," she began explaining. "Someone's out there, Tetro, someone's in trouble...could you help me find who else is awake and spread the word? I'd like to inform as many as possible and get a small group to go out for assistance." She continued down the hallway, listening if she could hear anyone else awake at this hour and spotted Thanatos, nodding to his question, "We've recieved a distress signal from an uninhabbited planet not far from here," she informed, a worried look on her face as she though about this person...so far away...so...troubled. Images from her dream crept back into her head, mixed images from past and present, she couldn't discern which was which, but she knew they had to get to this planet before someone else did.

He saw and disregarded the creature, it no longer piqued his interest. However Janlu's request for helping a person a planet away felt promising. Everything around Janlu resonated use of the force. Precognition maybe? It was hard to tell given her aura at this time. He could only confirm her use of the force. If Thanatos had any inclination to what this was, it would be the jedi belief of "The living force". He himself held no such fancies. However it seemed Janlu's subconscious was making aims towards this person whoever they may be. Rescue... again. It seemed everyone was in need of a rescue. He indicated to Janlu to continue on her way, he had Parthenon already on his body and would be allowed to retrieve his Dark saber on the way to the hangar.

Night Angel was heading back to the planet, to the outcast until something caught his attention a disturbance in the force, something he hasn't felt since the days he first met Janlu, and the day he killed ...... He haulted the ship, and then closed his eyes to concentrate in order to locate the source of the disturbance, he opened his eyes punching in coordinance then full speed ahead towards one of the planets near the planet where the outcast temple is located "never again." Night Angel said as he sped the ship faster to the planet.

Tetroneaque almost bumped into Hoshi, as he was in a hurry to put some distance between himself and Thanatos. He stopped in his tracks when she addressed him though, making a short bow of greeting toward her before straightening back up. "Oh, good evening Hoshi. Janlu sent me to see who else might be awake at this time, as she detected a distress signal on a nearby planet that she wishes to investigate. Would you like to accompany us in investigating this distress call?" He had already made the decision to tag along, wanting to do whatever he could to help. After all it wasn't long ago at all that he'd been in distress himself and in need of assistance.

"I'm sure Janlu would appreciate your assistance in this matter, and I know I'd enjoy your company as well." His tails wagged slightly as he spoke.

Thanatos would continue to follow Janlu. He had no inclination of being a messenger boy. In fact he would do this even as she would enter her ship. He had no desire to drive. He had not done so in years. Instead he studied Janlu's aura. It had seemed to be radiating distress. He reassured her, "I'm sure whoever it is that you are worried about is fine. People are tougher than they look. Besides anything short of death I can heal."

Naku was sleeping, feeling at peace for a time. Then, out of no where, his dream became one of concern, sadness, and sudden pain. The pain felt as if it was his own, but it wasn't at the same time. It was the pain that woke him up. He looked around, remembering that he was in his Quarters. He checked himself for any sign of damage, as he realized he was not in any pain anymore. He got up, placing on the simple first layer of his robe. He looked outside his window in the temple and felt something was wrong. A force user was in trouble, and near by.

He left the window and headed out of his quarters when he saw Janlu and Tetro, followed by Thanatos. He approached the group. Janlu had shown her ability to see visions in the force. A useful technique, and show's her connection getting stronger with the force. "Janlu, have you felt it too?" He asked, sensing her desire to alert others of something.
