Imperial Press Corp Field Report......
Suspected Anti-Republic Group Activity: R-90 and Roger, Jedi Talia, L, Padawan Wrabbler, Tizzit and Bob, Xol Dul, J-04N (Human Scout).
Not Sighted: Khorrahg'ga, PK-17 (Scout Labor Droid)
Everyone was shaken over the failed attempt at rescuing Khorrahg'ga. Instead they located an Imperial Detention Center on the norther hemisphere of Kashyyyk. They had hoped perhaps he was being held there, they really had no idea. Wrabbler had discover that L was found in a cell with about 12 dead Wookies. He didn't say anything about it to anyone. Talia and th others managed to sneak in an assault the guards, but within minutes of their attack once the power and communication went offline, and Imperial Cruiser began to bombard the Detention Center. It was best to leave no trace, just in case as riots had already broken out at several Wookie Processing facilities world-wide. Meanwhile they have been outside the system figuring out another plan.
While checking the ship, L and Talia went to get some much need treatment in the medical bay. The EMD (Emergency Medical Droid) was more than happy to assist. He would take them one at a time, Talia first, then anyone else who need a treatment. Roger and R-90 were assessing the damage to their systems, and R-90 had Roger asist him in removing the tracker he had found from Eshka. The other members of the crew relaxed and just thought on what to do next. "Bob" was awakened by a feint whisper from the ventilation shaft, "Oy! BoB! Wake up! Why are you asleep when there is so many fun stuff to do". Bob was curious that the voice was her own and asked who it was. The voice responded that it was her from the future, and that she wanted her to let her know she was going to be a powerful JEDI! Bob wa excited, as she thought perhaps that path was closed ever sent she was introduced to her new bestest friend Tizzit. The other Bob told her that she would be a great Jedi, and the first few steps were to get a hold of a lightsaber and the crystalline heart that Talia had. The heart could help teach her some amazing powers. Bob remembered hearing about Aryn, and how he had a special "crystal" too. Perhaps this was her chance. The voice told her the only thing she had to do was simple borrow the crystal from Talia. Right now she was asleep, if she asked the EMD nicely....perhaps she could keep it safe. She walked over to the medical bay and saw that the EMD was administer a Bacta treatment and setting some of the wounds. Bob walked up and asked about the "Crystalline Heart", the EMD was very helpful and let her know that she did have such a piece. Bob asked nicely if she could take care of it for her. The EMD saw nothing wrong as this was a former padawan and gave her the object. A small jolt emanated from the crystal as soon as Bob took it. This jolt that was unnoticed and wiped out the last few seconds of the EMD memory.
When Talia got up she checked herself and found that the crystal was missing! She inquired the EMD, and he had no recollection of such an object being removed. He only stated that the small child, Bob, came in to say hi and then quickly left. Talia headed to the common room, L had just gone in for a quick treatment and she was aware that Xul Dul was piloting the ship. Wrabbler, J-04N, Bob/Tizzit, and the droids were there. She let them know something was wrong as the Crystalline Heart was missing. Given the nature of the crystal, there were a few who would be suspect. Everyone here had a reason or two to take the crystal for themselves; 1) R-90 could be under the influence of Eschka, 2) L was falling to the darkside and its corruption could have influenced him to take it, 3) J-04N did just easily desert from the Imperial forces and could be a spy, 4) Xul Dul was only in it for the money and the crystal was definitely worth something, and even 5) Wrabbler was suspect as he seeming had acquired his own special crystal as well. A few moments later everyone was bickering on where or who the crystal could be with. Even Bob was suspect and was made to turn out her pockets, just junk and other knick knacks were found such as a red balloon. Soon it came to a consensus that the only one with any motivation was L. L did not take kindly to such accusations, and already feeling the pull of the darkside one of his fears was coming true...his friends were turning on him. Feeling that things were going south he quickly pulled out his lightsaber. Soon everyone had a weapon out and Bob hid behind Tizzit. As the tension grew soon a conflict erupted out and weapons were discharged. L defended himself from attacks as Talia and Wrabbler attempted to disarm him. Instead L propelled the lightsaber into Talia's shoulder. He used the force push power to knock them all down and ran to the cargo hold. R-90 quickly locked him in and it was decided that since he had gone rogue they were going to vent him out into space. L had moments to figure something out and remember that Khorrahg'ga had a one man escape vehicle secured just in case. It had just enough power to make a jump once to a predetermined planet in case aid was needed. The problem though it was never reset. As the warning that the pressure was decrease and soon the cargo doors opened, L managed to strap himself in and prep the device for a quick jump. Once he and the ship was dragged out of the airlock he could safely make the jump to lightspeed and hope he ended up somewhere better than here. R-90 and the rest of the crew ran to the bridge to see if there was any sign of L. They soon saw that he was in a small vehicle and was powering it up. Talia and Xul Dul began to shoot at the small ship hoping to take L prisoner. They managed to hit it, but L managed to get away.
Talia and Wrabbler reached out again, and there was no sign of the Crystalline Hearts presence. From what Talia could gather, L had ended up in on a planet with three suns. She really had no idea where he was and seemed lost in the galaxy. R-90 though made a suggestion to route that info and find such a world through the Hyperdrive Index of Inhabited Trinary Stars Systems. It would take some time, but at least they would have a lead. In the meantime Talia went to receive medical attention. Bob again heard a familiar whisper from the vents "Congratulations! You managed to defeat a very bad guy who was a Sith Lord! I knew we could do it!", and Bob was happy with the encouragement her "futureself" was giving. "Now, Bob, I mean me... since we are a proper Jedi now, we needs ourself a lightsaber. Since we defeated L we should take his don't you think?". Bob was a little hesitant, but the voice was sooo compelling. As it said, this was her path to becoming a great Jedi. She walked into the med bay again and while Talia was undergoing treatment, borrowed the lightsaber and went to the cargo hold to practice. Once again Talia was wondering what was going on when she couldn't find the lightsaber. This time she reached out with the force and saw Bob playing with it. She scolded Bob, saying that it was not a toy and tried to take it away.
Tizzit came in as her connection with Bob alerted her of something gone awry and saw Talia over her charge. They had a discussion about Bob and how she should not be playing with a lightsaber. Tizzit convinced by Bob's thought pointed out she was in training to be a jedi as a padawan, and that was her natural calling. After all she was instructed in the fundamentals of its use. Bob also pointed out that she is often endanger without a way to protect herself, and if Talia cared for her she would teach her. Bob gave Talia her big kitty kat eyes, and Talia agreed that she could use the lightsaber and she would teach her or have Wrabbler do it. Fortunately R-90's computation had finished. The bad part was that the three planets indicated were past Coruscant in the core. It would be a long trip and they needed to refuel, Xul Dul suggested perhaps a stop on Trandosha would be a could place to refuel and check upon Khorrahg'ga.
