Jedi Academy

It had took some doing to find Knight Farissa, lots of bright cheerful smiles and questions had finally led him to the Spaceport though, and the entrance to Dantooine's Last Hope. Apparently the knight had made her way here to do a few preparations of her own, and it was here that Silas believed he would find her.

Walking up to the vessel he waved towards one of the crew. "Um, is Knight Farissa here?"

The ship looked old.

Like, really old. Even by ship-standards. The crew didn't look too young either.

"Hey, someone here for you, miss Blue," an elderly man with a toothy grin called for the knight as Silas asked for her, and it didn't take long before Farissa herself came walking down the ramp from the ship.

"Silas?" Farissa gave him a questioning look as she approached. "What brings you to the ship today?"

"You, Beautiful." He offered with a grin, when a lady gave you the chance for a cheesy line you took it. Right?

"I had some things I wanted to ask you about." He explained a few moments later.

She had a slightly amused smile at his cheesy line. "Now where have you been hearing such bad lines..." the Pantoran chuckled. "Sure thing. Ask away?"

"Old holos." He explained with a grin. "I think it was one I saw Master Bakash wayching?" Or was it Master Jaric? He couldn't remember.

"And you left yourself open, so I couldn't resist." He finished with a form nod. "But, yeah. I had a bit of a conundrum, and I really wasnt sure what to do."

"You see, some younglings came to us with a problem." How was the best way to do this. "One of them is missing, they think he went into black sun territory to teach them a lesson. They were a bit wary about telling us though, as they didnt want to get in trouble for keeping it a secret."

"That's only part of it though. You see, the boy Reg saw Byron punishing one of the members of the Black Sun out in the Markets yesterday. So we're thinking it's a bit our fault, because we didnt stop Byron or teach the younglings well enough not to do that sort of thing. Not to mention Meli had a vision about a Dark Sun and a seedy cantinas. So she is thinking the force is telling her it's something we should solve."

He took a deep breath, that was a lot of solving. "So we were wondering what's the right thing to do?"

Perhaps it was because she was a Knight and had good discipline, but Farissa recieved the report with a surprising stoicism. "Hmm... I see... that is quite the trouble there."

She placed her hand to her chin in a thinking-pose. Byron was a good guy with good intentions, and she suspected it would hit the big guy's morale pretty hard if he heard about this. "Alright, make sure you and the others... Meli? Anyway, don't tell Byron about this. I think it would rough him pretty hard if he did, and before we know how Reg is, he might do something as crazy as storming the Black Sun territory on his own."

The Knight took a deep breath. "You guys might be able to go into Black Sun more easily than I can though. Not that I can't but I've poked that particular hornet's nest many times over, they would probably get very suspicious and possibly aggressive if I were to show up. We'd prefer to avoid that until we know more about Reg's current situation - to avoid a hostage-situation. Those never end well."

"Who knows about this?"

"Um, Napz, Meli, Di, and I." There was a short pause. "That's Zizzy, Mir, and Zanja. We haven'ttold anyone else yet." He explained a moment later. "We aren't sure exactly what happened, but I figured out the last signal from his communicator was from the market district at about 0300 today."

"I'll try and make sure no one tells Byron, though I already told him yesterday that I didn't think his actions were the wisest."

Farissa did give him a questioning glance at those nicknames, but hey, who was she to challenge him on the nicknames he gave his friends.

"Yeah, that sounds about right," she huffed a little, "he's a bit of a hot-head sometimes that one. All smiles and peaceful one moment, and cold fury the next."

She crossed her arms to give some feeling of authority, but her pose was overall relaxed. "Question from me to you now is; do you think you guys are ready for this?"

That was a good description of Cap if he ever heard one. It was nice to see that Farissa knew at least some of them pretty well. Then again, it made him wonder what she thought of him.

"I suppose that depends on the task. If the goal is a infiltration and rescue, it might be too much. A few of us are trained in Combat, but we only carry non lethal means to protect ourselves and the Black Sun won't pull punches if things go south. If we go to gather information, and see if Reg is even there, as well as what steps we need to take. I'm a bit more confident."

"Alright," she nodded after some brief thoughts. "I think we have a first mission at hand for you guys then. I'll be with you to step in if nescessary, but consider this your first mission from now on."

Farissa adjusted the saber-handle in her belt slightly. Time to be on duty for reals now. "Do you guys have some plan to gather up for this?

"Okay!" He replied a hint of excitement in his town. Being on a mission sounded super cool.

"Yeah, we planned to get together after this mornings classes." His eyes shifted to the side. "I decided to skip them to come talk to you. I figured we might have to reschedule though. I mean, the Silent Sun might not even be open, and if we're going to infiltrate we'll need street clothes too."

"Though I suppose I could pick something up for everyone on the way back." Mir and Di didnt seem to have much fashion sense. "But I need to find out what kind of hyper drive the Last hope has first!" He'd almost forgot about that.

"We'll have to arrange for some less conspicious garments, yes," she nodded, and made a mental note for a few other things as well.

When he spoke of the hyperdrive, Farissa leaned an arm against the bulk of the ship and fixed him with a clever smile. "Oh? And why would you possibly want to poke your head into that, little one?"

"Litte one!?" Silas stuck out his tongue at the older woman. "Master Reikiss said I still probably have some growing to do, so soon enough I may be taller then you!"

The mention of the hyper drive earned another look to the side. "Surprises are fun, but figuring out surprises before they happen is even funner."

"Since I know roughly how long we'll be traveling, if I figure out the speed of the hyperdrive I can do some calculations and narrow down the numbers of places we can make our first stop." The young redhead explained, no reason to lie right?

"Sure you will be," she chuckled, then gave a wave to the interior of the ship. "I won't stop you, though I'd say you have more important things to do, yes?"

"Yeah, but I'll only check now and then do the calculations later. It will save me a trip." He offered with a nod. "Then I can pick up some stuff for the others to wear on the way back."

"I'd like to make them outfits, but I dont have the time for that, and I'm not super hip either. Core world trends are not my expertise." He paused thoughtfully. "I'll study those later though."

"Maybe some other time for those mission-outfits," she smirked. It would've been amusing to what he would think up for some group mission outfits.

"Let me worry about those clothes. Go have fun with your puzzle."

"Yeah, I'd need their measurements first if I was going to make something anyways." He pulled out the measuring tape he kept in his pocket. "I'll have to ambush them sometime."

When she suggested taking care of the outfits he nodded, as he walked towards the interior of the ship. "I suppose that works too. I have a busy day, after this I have to work on my entry for the Forushyyyk contest, and spend some time on my armor."

He turned to flash gmhe a smile. "So thanks, for the help and the advice."

"Hey, that's what we're here for," she assured him with a friendly smile. "Help and advice."

Straightening up, she tossed her hair nonchalantly. "See you soon then? Stay out of trouble in the meantime."

"You know me, Babe. I always stay out of trouble." He replied with a grin before breaking into a fit of giggles.

"See you soon." He offered with a wave as he headed deeper into the ship to plunder its secrets.
