Eluia stops walking, frozen. Slowly he whispers, "Just one person, Jedi Knight Sera Lar. She was my mentor on Dxun. I thought she was dead..." The very idea that she could possibly be alive bothered him immensely.

Phram nods thoughtfully.  "More than likely, given what we know.  Jedi Lar was strong in the Force, it is possible that she could have denied herself passage into the Force and instead remained here to continue to assist you."  He stands up.  "Here is what I want you to do:  I want you to act as though you were going into a trance, but don't allow yourself to fall into oblivion.  Instead, at the moment you feel most calm, call for Jedi Lar by her full name.  If I am right, she will appear."  He turns down the lights as he heads for the door.  "If she can provide any information about what we are up against, it would be most helpful.  Good luck."  He exits the room and shuts the door.

Valkin walks in. Korr is sitting there, and while at the level of Valkin's belt, sees a sight he never though he would ever see. It took a second or two to register, but when it did, a rush of emotion hit. He would know that hilt anywhere, as he watched the Jedi it once belong to take it apart a few times during the war. The design was almost unique in itself, but it was the hilt guard that got his attention. Not wanting to make a big deal out of it, Korr says "That's is quite to collection you have there. I see a few of blades on your belt I know of, but there are one interesting hilt I didn't even know existed anymore. Tell me the story behind you having Malak's Jedi lightsaber" Blunt, to the point. Korr hoped for an straight answer

Valkin turns and I'm a grave yet matter of fact voice responds "he killed my wife I then almost killed him if it wasn't for the howl runners he would be dead. He dropped it I took it as a trophy. I plan to return it to him one day preferably in his chest"

Taken aback by the bluntness of Valkin's answer, and the sadness of the story "I served with that monster during the war. He and Revan fooled everyone. I'm sorry about your wife. Ask Blaze sometime about Malak. He too shares your hatred of the man. I'll do everything in my power to help you get to chance to do what you need it too against Malak; not only for you, but for Blaze. "

"I'm surprised, most Jedi lecture me on how revenge leads to the dark side. I welcome any help I can get. Malak has caused so much loss across the galaxy. It's almost a pity that reven fell he at least had some honor. Had he not been a dini'la ulik (mad dog) the twins and I would have followed our vod (brother) happily. But that is nether here nor there. Mandolore is dead, a new one must rise for the mandalorian people to survive. We can speak more of this later if you wish but now I need to meditate" Valkin says calmly the stone on his necklace briefly flashing green at the end

"I could lecture you for days on the Jedi way, but taking down Malak isn't just Revenge; its taking down the biggest threat in the galaxy. even the lightest Jedi can agree with that. I should meditate as well. See you soon"

Korr lets Valkin leave. If the Bloodraven only knew the bloodlust of Blaze concerning Malak Korr thought to himself.  The man just destroyed Taris, he needed to be stopped no matter the cost...

Eluia sits down on the floor gingerly, using the bed to lower himself slowly. He crosses his legs and places his lightsabre in front of him on the floor. Placing his hand palm up on his knee, he opens himself up to the force. Focusing on the gentle hum of the ship, he reaches out to the Force. A twinge of phantom pain from his missing arm distracts him for several minutes as he tries to centre himself.
Slowly, the calm, peaceful feeling of the Force returns. Rather than immersing himself completely in the Force, he allows the calming waves to merely wash over him as he begins to remember Sera Lar...
Memories flash through his mind, many dark with the brilliant flashes of blaster fire and death. Those he pushed aside seeking only for the memories that brought calm to his mind. He focused on the memory of the first time he entered a Force Trance under her guidance. He remembered the long discussions they had about the Force and the need for him to remain centered and calm.
"Sera Lar," he whispered eyes still closed waiting for a response.

Joro didn't bother to engage the other members of the crew. Everyone's nerves appeared to be on edge when he came onto the ship and he'd opted to make himself scarce. There were plenty of spots that needed to be checked for damage after the fight. Blaster damage pocked the corridor of the exit ramp and there seemed to be no lack of rubble and debris that needed to be cleared away. Of course, had anyone opted to assist him, they might have heard a few grumbles about the lack of thanks for making sure no one's life had been lost. The inspection took very little time and it appeared that, beyond the damage they'd already suffered, they had no immediate threat to their health from the ship's systems. Everything seemed to be fine to Joro, or at least until he reached the garage.

When the padawan opened the garage doors the first thing he spotted was the pool of dark brown blood near the back of the room. The tangy smell of it flooded his nostils and it was impossible for him to suppress a gag.

"What is...?" He approached cautiously. In the middle of the bloody mess was an arm. The uniform around the sleeve was singed, contact from a lightsaber. It was easy to identify. It was also easy, upon closer inspection, the insignia belonging to his teammate Lt. Chorost.

"Oh...Force f-forgive me." He covered his eyes as the realization struck him that he hadn't seen Eluia among the others. "It wasn't enough...I couldn't stop them in time."

Joro tasted bile in the back of his throat. He turned away from the severed limb on the floor and took several deep breaths to calm his frantic heartbeat. Without a second thought he produced his droid companion and activated him.

"Listen Looner, I n-need you to clean the garage." He didn't bother to explain further, opting simply to point at the bloody mess behind him. "Please, c-collect the...Grab the...Just take care of it!"

Joro moved swiftly passed the buzzing and chirping droid, exiting the garage without a second glance back. Looner turned back to the mess and began his assigned task. Soon enough he received help and, despite some stubborn spots on the deck plates, the garage was in proper shape once again.

***

Joro sat down and settled onto the bunk. His weight sank into the crummy mattress and made the springs sigh in exhaustion. A wave of disgust rolled through he felt his muscles relax.

"We just need to get to Nar Shadaa. If we end this then the Sith will have one less way to hurt us." He assured himself. It was a sobering thought. However, the image of Eluia's arm flashed through his mind, and his eyes fell to the floor. "I wasn't fast enough..."

A deep sense of shame wormed its way through his insides and the greasy little monster inside him, the one that had been plaguing for countless months, tightened its coils around his stomach. He knew -just knew- that if he'd moved faster then that fight would have been over...and maybe Eluia wouldn't have been so badly injured. Joro knew it wasn't all his fault but, in the end, it simply came down to his own failure. Once again he'd failed and someone else had paid the price for it.
Joro sighed and switched off the lights. For several long minutes he simply sat alone in the darkness, mulling over how he could have done more for the team, or saved them from taking the kind of damage they had. He sat in silence, starting into the deck plating, playing through the fight again and again until, with a long sigh, he simply gave up and laid down.

Meditation required the ability to concentrate; Joro was exhausted. The world fell away and he was asleep in moments.

Joro shot up with his hand outstretched, soaked with sweat and screaming. It caught in his throat and turned into a frantic gurgle instead. His fingers were twisted, grasping again and again at...nothing. There was nothing there. Just darkness and an incredible pain in his left eye. Joro heaved and panted as he moved his feet to the floor just to make sure he was still on the ship and not back in that forest. Then he placed his face in his hands and silently wept, feeling utterly alone in the darkness.

"Y-you weren't f-fast enough...n-not enough, Joro..."

the remaining time is quiet Jolo returns to the twins ship and they disembark when you reach nar shada with this message from Ja'ani
"we need to finish the job we were on before the ambush we will meet you in 2 days at the blackbird cantina"
with that their ship departs leaving you with enough power to land near the refugee district flying through the skies of nar shadaa from the top the world reminds you of Coruscant only glitzier but as you enter the corillian district you can see the decay and the grimy nature of it all your ship lands and you meet in the briefing room

Valkin joins Nabrina in the lounge waiting for the others. He too looks out over nar shaddaa thinking of the last time he was here. A slight smirk forms under his helmet 'that was a good time' he thinks to himself remembering the fun he and the twins had

Joro moved to join the others. He offered a nod but nothing more. He looked tired, somehow even more so despite the time they'd had to rest. His posture had fallen into a slump and his eyes were had sunken, darkening to the point that one had to wonder if he'd managed to sleep at during the time they'd traveled. However, despite his exhaustion, there was a hard look in his eye; Joro was fully alert and intensely observant of his fellow crewmen.

When Master Bosharn walks in Joro moves to offer him a polite greeting and bow. "We've arrived, Master."

Phram nods to Joro.  "Good, now we just need to find our Frostfyre facility and investigate."  He pats the Bothan on the shoulder.  "You did well with those pirates.  The Order may yet find a good diplomatic position for you."  He grins a polite grin full of teeth, then peers closer at the Padawan.  "When was the last time you rested, Joro?  You look like you could use some sleep."

Joro did not return Master Bosharn's smile. "I DID sleep." He responded tightly. There was no chance he was going to speak of the image he'd seen of Master Limuil. Not in front of everyone else...preferably not at all. Joro couldn't afford to be seen as losing his grip on the mission.

Eluia joins the team in the lounge, keeping his hand close to both his sabre and pistol. He glances around, his eyes lingering on each member of the team in turn. He was uncomfortable with the fact that two sources had confirmed a traitor in their midst and he or she was still undiscovered. He moves to the far edge of the room, circling the gathering team until he was near Phram. As he sits, he notices the hard look in Joro's eye and nods in appreciation.

He leans in close to Phram and lowers his voice, "I did as you asked Master Boshar, Sera appeared and warned me that there is one amongst us who is not a friend. She didn't say more than that before she vanished." He looked around the room again, his hand straying to first the pistol then his sabre.

He turns to Joro, "I understand I owe you a great debt, you ended the fight before things got worse and in doing so saved my life." He extends his hand to Joro. "Thank you. Consider my resources and abilities at your service."
