Orientation (D1MM, MANDATORY)

[Corvin Zell]

Corvin scowled thoughtfully. "You'll have non-emergency shelter. Speaking for myself, I'm making sure to bring a thermal cloak that can double as a sleeping bag. Always plan for the worst; you could get caught out in a storm, or have a speeder accident, or anything."

The scowl softened. "Don't worry too much. We'll step in if we need to. The worst that'll happen is that you learn a hard lesson."

[Zizzy Roosh]

Zizzy nodded thoughtfully at Corvin. She already had a thermal cloak, and she was reasonably good at dealing with the wilderness. She just hoped they weren't going to a desert. Sand got everywhere, and scrubbing it out of her tendrils felt all kinds of weird.

"Are we allowed to know how long we are going for? Oh, and will we go straight to Ilum from the mystery planet, or do we come back to the temple first?"

[Jaric Kaedan]

"Straight to Ilum. We'll be travelling on the ship Dantooine's Last Hope - it's one of the few freighters in service to the Order. Feel free to stop by the spaceport to check it out before travelling, the crew have been made aware of all of you." Jaric on the other hand spoke with a clear tone, but equally serious as Corvin.

[O'vala Aeser]

O'vala leaned over to Silas. "Hey smarty, do you have any idea where we might be going?" she whispered.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

"One of the other temple's I'd think." He whispered in return. "One on the way to Ilum? I'd have to check star charts to be sure."

"Should we purchase food too?" He asked, turning his attention back to the master. "Or will that be provided?"

[Farissa Kho]

Farissa had a clever smile as she overheard some of the speculation.

"Food will be provided, but I'm sure Corvin here would suggest it's always good to bring a emergency ration-bar or two... though he could live off the land easily."

[Ares Pax]

"How much hostility and danger should we expect? Not much, I suspect, but in general?" Ares, the warrior, was of course thinking of combat. Again.

[Jaric Kaedan]

Jaric frowned slightly. "Always be prepared for possible dangers, younglings. Even here on Coruscant. We are not bringing you into warzones, but there are more dangers in the galaxy than just potential fights. Ilum alone is dangerous for completely different reasons than Coruscant is."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

Silas nodded. "You've already mentioned it was cold, so we can probably expect Ice or snow." He mused thoughtfully. "There is probably a low amount of fuels for fires as well. So we'll probably be eating a lot of cold meals unless we make preparations for it. Which means finding a way of keeping water from freezing too." The longer he thought about it the longer the list of things he might need became.

"Are there any dangerous flora or fauna we need to keep an eye open for?" This seemed like it was some sort of force world from their explanation after all.

[Corvin Zell]

Corvin smirked. "Yep." He said, folding his arms across his chest.

[Mir]

Oh great... Mir though to himself.

[Taime Jorel]

He snuck a quick glance at Eir and resolved to pack a little extra food if he could manage it.

[Silas Myles Pearson]

Well, that was a lot less explanation then Silas was hoping for, but the way Knight Corvin crossed his arms over his chest he suspected he wasn't going to get much more of an answer then that. Mentally he started to tick off a list of things he might need, other then a thermal cloak.

"Master Kaedan mentioned a small stipend." He offered after a few more moments though. "When will we be receiving it? I'd like to know how much time I have, and what I should buy versus what I should try and make." Making a thermal cloak had sounded neat after all, but it might take a while.

"Oh, and can I ask if there is a work bench on the ship, as well as the approximate travel time we have?" He continued, beaming the master's a bright smile.

[Jaric Kaedan]

"Once the paperwork is through, you'll be given your stipend. Should be tomorrow," Jaric said with a nod. Breathing down the neck of the paper-pushers of the order was an ordeal he didn't feel like going through. "As for a work-bench, I believe there is one, yes. Travel time should be about a week."

[Silas Myles Pearson]

That brought a nod from Silas, now he just needed to stop by the Dantooine's Last Hope and check into the type of hyperdrive they had, then he could look into charting a course to Ilum and see how long it would take. That would give him an idea about how far out of their way they could go for the 'surprise' stop.Maybe he should of studied astrogation more though.

His immediate questions answered, he turned towards the other initiates, maybe they had thought of questions he had not?

[Taime Jorel]

Taime tucked all that knowledge away as Silas asked questions. The young crafter seemed to have a good head on his shoulders. "Will we be alone on this mission or working in teams?"

[Chriala Hulis]

Master Chriala smiled. "As Jedi, are you ever truly alone?" She answered the question without quite looking at the speaker.

[Orgus Din]

"Both." Master Orgus cleared his throat. "As appropriate. The trials are no simple test, no single mission with clear parameters. Expect to be tested on every aspect of the Jedi Code, one way or another."

[Byron Mik]

Byron chuckled and just nodded at the Master.

[Taime Jorel]

Taime nodded, a little embarrassed at the mild reprimand in Chriala's voice. He had a great deal to learn.
