Raithe scoffs, "Oh, please. Clearly you're new to business. I could get two of those Needlers in the lower levels of Corouscant for the lousy price you're offering. No wonder this dump is on the 'Need-to-Know' list. You only need to know about it, if you wanna get ripped off. Later, chumps."

Walden would park the captured shuttle into friendly territory, making sure that it would be easy for medical personnel to reach Gaze.
He would get out of the shuttle, calling out, "Medics, we need assistance. We got someone injured on the shuttle, please assist!"
Hopefully, they would be able to hear him and get to Gaze.
Raithes words would clearly not sit well with the Aqualish a his hand would snap to the pistol on his belt, but would pause with a shout from the woman. 'Let them go! A child and a carpet is hardly clientele lost'. They clearly did not know of the true origin of the pair, but it seemed fair that they would make the connection after their arrest. The pair would be able to leave the site unmolested, and when they return to the speeder they would find the com unit beeping with someone waiting on the other end. When activated the voice would belong to master Kavar, and he sounded worried. 'Padawans, I am glad I was able to reach you. All jedi on the planet are being recalled to the temple. I need you to get back here as soon as possible'.
At the Foerost station, though the enemy had left, the chaos continued as wounded were treated and fires put out as best as the beleaguered workers could do. In the triage centre, Fraistor would look up at the Chiss with a wince. 'Wait' he would say slowly as he struggles to his feet. 'You had information on the people who, who did this? And you're only now just telling us?' There is disbelief mixed with anger in his voice as he struggles to say upright. 'Did you only just come across this information?'
As the pair talk, one of the medics would stop to glance over Kataddik for a moment before crouching beside him. It seems to be a young woman attending to him dressed in a republic soldiers uniform. She would tut as she turns his head from side to side. 'Looks like you were a little zealous with taking on the attackers' she would say mostly to herself as she continues to poke and prod and the injuries. 'You could have gotten yourself killed'. After a little bit o time she would pull a medi-kit across the floor to rest at her feet. She would hastily set to work, putting salve on his burns and patching up the worst of the injuries before someone calls her across to another patient. As she stands she would wag a finger in his direction. 'Stay there, rest. You are in no state to do much else', and with that she jogs to the next person.
In the hanger that Walden lands, his shout for a medic is echoed, and a minute later a pair of staff wearing white uniforms run into the hanger. One carries a medi-kit and another carries a stretcher, unsure of what they will be dealing with. As they make their way into the shuttle one would curse before looking up at Walden. 'What happened to him?' he would say as the pair crouch by Gaze. Without waiting for an answer they would load him onto the rapidly unfolded stretcher.
'He's going to need a bacta-tank to stabilize' one would say to the other as they hoist him up. 'You two!' he would say to the other passengers. 'Can you walk? If so you need to head for the triage centre where they will be able to help you. The guards outside the hanger can show you the way'. With that the pair would whisk Gaze away at an impressive pace, presumable to the already packed medi-centre. When he reached the centre he was given a quick injection from a stim pack before being stripped and placed carefully into a bacta tank for recuperation. It would take several hours for him to reach full health, but he would live, for now.
Meanwhile, somewhere lost in hyperspace, Oola and Kai-Wan make their way out of the way out of the hanger along with a number of ships personnel and soldiers. They need to find a terminal and a place to hide fast. They're already getting a few glances here and there from the Sith. There were a few terminals here and there along the corridors, but they were in the open and not particularly inconspicuous. Places such as the barracks or engineering levels were out of the question if they wanted to avoid capture, they would stand out too much there. Perhaps their stealth could help in this case if they tried there? Perhaps the personnel quarters had access to the terminals, if they found one unlocked. But what if they were spotted in someone's room? It was a difficult decision to make.
Kataddik Medical Check : 2eP+1eA+2eD 2 successes, 2 advantage, 1 Triumph
Removes critical injury from Kataddik, triumph spent to remove 1 wound as well.
Kataddik Medical Check

That leaves Kataddik with 7 Wounds of damage left to heal.
Walden answers the medic, "Not sure, I just picked him up. But thanks all the same. I can take myself to the triage center. And you, Muu?"
Walking towards the guards, Walden took a look at the shuttle. The techs can pour through that one and hopefully find out who our enemy was. Wonder what happened to the others...

" Clearly Lieutenant you did not listen to word I said, I was in the middle of debriefing Admiral Haghaw when the ship arrived. When I advised caution and told her to arm all relevant personnel she took it as me being overly cautious..." Zoroku let the last statement sink in but he didn't let Fraistor speak, continuing in his Calm, monotone yet slightly annoyed tone " I was in the middle of negotiating a meeting between myself and the Admiralty boards to discuss the nature of the Sith Empire. However I do believe this was not simply an attack by the Empire. In an Interrogation of the Elite troopers we faced, I used the Trade language common in the Unknown regions where the Empire is located, however the trooper I interrogated wasn't able to understand a word I said." He paused again bringing his hand to his chin in a pensive stance, " From what I know of the revanchist's last known trajectory he was heading into Sith Space, it is very likely that defectors of the republic are those who attacked us this day. Especially since they knew exactly how to strike to render us defenseless and they came in a type of cruiser known to be a large part of Revan's fleet." He looks Fraistor up and down after he lets the last bit of information sink in Zoroku wasn't impressed by his attitude but he let it slide for now due to the attack being fresh in his mind.
The Iktotchi thought for a moment as the event mentally reoccurs when asked about Gaze. Unwilling to take the time to explain the force nor the antagonist, Muu simply replies " He suffers from an multiple stories concussion ". Once the medic mentions Gaze requiring a bacta-tank to stabilize, he turns to Walden saying " I will stay with Gaze; I'm in no need of triage thanks to our friend here ", assisting the medic whisk Gaze to the medi-centre.
The jedi would just stand replaying the rotation events as his peer was recuperating in bacta. " So many unexplain events and tragedy" he thought, in an wakeful meditation of reflection. The padawans three week hyperspace preparations for the Republic fleet had receded from view before they could even endeavor in action. Yet, while waiting for Gaze's recovery an undertone of hope and recourse grew past the feeling of defeat. A call for retribution grew.

Whatever this is, it must be very important. Raithe thought to herself.
"We're on our way, Master," she replied through the comm. Raithe jumped into the speeder with Ryff and sped back to the Jedi Temple.
Kai-wan continues to stride along, making an unlikely duo with his Twi-lek companion. Steering clear of the larger berthing areas, they locate what they believe to be smaller staterooms.
"For what it is worth, we have already succeeded far beyond my wildest calculations." When they have a stretch of passageway to themselves, the security droid gives the nearest door a try. Good as any..?
Gaze slowly felt the darkness recede from his awareness, though his senses were muffled. Everything sounded like he was under water, and after a few seconds, he felt the fact that his body was indeed, submerged. Still fuzzy, his brain tried to catch up with his memories, and his current situation. He suddenly opened his eyes quickly, looking around, a momentary panic assailing him as he tried to figure out how he went from falling and a sudden stop, to being in a....oh...a bacta tank. He took a few moments to consider that, knowing full well the level of injury usually inflicted to warrant using a bacta tank. His medical knowledge began to catalog his condition, and the likely results. Long fall, hitting metal framework, sudden loss of consciousness. Likely a concussion and several other injuries piled up.
Gaze took a quick stock of himself, ok, no limbs lost, and these diapers are every bit as uncomfortable as everyone has told me, ugh. He looked out of the window, trying to make the outside of the tank come into focus, and try and get his bearings.
The officer would wince again as he holds a hand to his head while listening to Zoroku. 'Don't, don't start passing blame jedi. It's too early'. He would listen as Zoroku speaks, shaking his head slightly as he rubs his head. 'You!' he would say to a passing trooper. 'Find me some painkillers'. The trooper would salute the officer as he goes of in search of drugs. Turning back to the jedi he would speak. 'I heard what you said Jedi, you seem to know a lot about this attack, how did you come across this information?'
In the medi-bay, Gaze would be able to make out figures dressed in white moving back and forth throughout the room as they attend to the other patients in the room. It is packed with heavily injured personnel, some even on the floor for the lack of space. He would also be able to make out the faint silhouette of Muu near by.
Muu would be able to see Gaze clearly in the tank, floating i the centre as the liquid slowly sets to work on healing his damage body. Most of the injuries received were blunt force trauma from the fall, as well as a few injuries from the combat before. He will survive though, and the stimpack he had received has helped greatly.
On Corouscant, the two padawans would reach the temple before too long. The sight was not what they had seen this morning. The perimeter of the temple was surrounded by the temple guard. They stood motionless like statues, completely unmoving. As they enter the temple there is a feeling of unease. The jedi talk in hushed voices and most look quite nervous. After a few moments Master Kavar would stride throughout he temples entrance hall to meet the jedi.
'Welcome back you two, I wish it was under better circumstances'. He would sigh as he glances behind him. 'We have received a broadcast from the Foerost ship yards near by, it seems that there has been an attack. The broadcast suggests it is the Sith so we have had to recall the jedi on the planet for their own safety'.
On the Interdictor, it seemed that the pair had found themselves in the crew quarters of the ship. They found themselves in a corridor that was lined with doors that most likely lead to living quarters. Perhaps these would have a terminal inside? They would have to check to find out, and hope they find one uninhabited. For now the corridor is empty with most of the crew working in different parts of the ship. They haven't had time to return to rooms yet.
"Unlocked and unoccupied? Let's see what we can discover, shall we, Mistress?" Kai-wan scans the room for a terminal to access, eager to learn more of the interdictor's crew and mission.
Oola was very unusually quiet. She was afraid in an unknown place surrounded by enemies. She looked to K-1 and tried to give her best smile, but it was fooling no one, least of all herself.
The Sith. Raithe thought grimly, instantly putting aside all contemplations about the assignment she had just returned from. There is no greater cause than the eradication of such vile monstrosities.
"How can I help?" she asked Master Kavar.
" Lieutenant, you like many others must have assumed I was a red eyed Pantoran, thus I should have no Knowledge of such matters..." Zoroku looked at Fraistor as he nodded his head, " I Am not Pantoran, I am Chiss and my people hail from what you call the Unknown Regions, where the Sith happen to be neighbors to the Chiss Ascendancy, I exiled myself in order to prove that the Republic and the Jedi are a better ally for my people than the Sith, thus winning this war is very important to my efforts." Zoroku pauses and now faces the Lieutenant, "Now is there any way you can bring Captain Medwim to us so I may debrief the both of you, due to how many casualties there were in republic Brass, both of you are likely to receive the rank of Admiral and I would like to give both of you this information incase one or both of you do become Admirals."
Edited by ShlambateA grin would sweep Muu's face as Gaze returns to consciousness within the tank. " He must be thunderstuck or extremely disoriented to awake in such conditions " the padawan contemplated. In attempt to ease any of his perplexity, Muu says " Friend, you're presently aboard the Foerost Station Medi-Bay. This liquid container is a bacta-tank which is healing all the superficial wounds you suffered from in your concussion. It is good to see you well " through the tank's glass. As one of the white coat medical-techs passby, Muu informs the personnel of Gaze's consciousness regain. " How much longer before the bacta heals all the trauma? ", he questions. Upon receiving the tech's medical assessment, in excitement, Muu quickly gives Gaze the recovery update through the batca-tank again.
Kai-Wan and Oola would find themselves in what could described as an opulent room. It was clad in rich colours of red and gold, with comfortable looking furniture and man expensive looking decorations. All of them looked quite old, a few even being classes as antiques. Whoever this room belonged to, they were important. Against the wall to the right of the door there was a computer terminal. Perhaps this could be used to access the information they needed.
On Corouscant Kavar would take his time to respond to the young Raithe. 'For now, all we can do is wait padawan. We must not do anything rash or we may make the situation worse. A number of jedi were present during the attack, and they will be returning to Corouscant soon. Perhaps then you will be able to help. In the mean time, how was your mission at the docks?'
On the station, the lieutenant would look up at Zoroku again. 'So you did know! You knew these guys were out there and didn't warn us until it was too late! Because of you my men are dead!' The officer would step forward, shoving the jedi roughly away from him. 'If I call Medwim here blue skin, it will be to have to locked in a holding cell, get out of my sight till I decide what to do'.
It seemed that Fraistor had no interest in hearing what Zoroku had to say, at least for now. The injured man seemed to instead have focused on placing the blame on the Chiss's shoulders. His outburst would attract a few stares from those near by, and would have been in earshot of Kataddik. This would occur just as Walden reaches the triage centre, and he would be witness to this occurring as well.
A Devaronian would pause to examine the data in front of the kolto-tank. Through the glass he would look familiar to Gaze, but through the blurred surface it was difficult to say. 'Hm, his immediate wounds would be healed in a day or so, but he has several fractures and broken ribs. Really I'd like for him to remain in here for the week, but I suspect you jedi have other plans'. The Devaronian would turn to smile at Muu. 'It's good you got him here when you did, he could have been much worse off'.
Kataddik stands up, and strides over to the Lieutenant, towering over him.
" H uurh uggguh raaaaaahhgh uuh raaaaaahhgh aaaaahnr uugggh aaaaahnr aarrragghuuhw aguhwwgggghhh awwgggghhh uughghhhgh huuguughghg. U ugggh awwgggghhh aarrragghuuhw huuguughghg huurh aaahnruh uggguh uughguughhhghghghhhgh huuguughghg uughguughhhghghghhhgh raaaaaahhgh aarrragghuuhw hnnnhrrhhh aaaaahnr aarrragghuuhw raaaaaahhgh aguhwwgggghhh uughghhhgh huuguughghg aaaaahnr."
"Understand human, we only just arrived not long before the attack happened. Zoroku, here immediately set to work trying to warn the Admiral about the potential danger of the Sith. We all did.
Walden went inside the triage center, hoping to get his wounds checked out. Stimpacks had taken care of them immediately, but getting a clean bill of health would be a wise choice. There were stories of pilots that seemed fine, but died when their wounds reopened during combat. Fruit salads tended to be a rather distressing commonality on those stories.
Approaching a medic, he asked for a checkup when he heard someone yell at a familiar face.
Looks like Zoroku has some problems, thought Walden, but I think-
And that's when he saw Kattadik approach the man.
Oh boy, he thought. Well, let's just see what happens.
Walden took a seat while keeping his eyes towards Zoroku, Kattadik, and the man who just yelled at Zoroku.
Edited by satkaz" Thank you Kattadik." Zoroku would say as he wiped the spittle off of his brow and dusted off his armor from where he was shoved, " For your information lieutenant I have been telling the Jedi Council of the threat for years, this was my first chance to speak with Republic Naval Officers, I was never granted an audience during the war due the pressing matter with Mandalorians." Zoroku would spot behind the lieutenant and Kattadik the Foreman of the station rushing to all the commotion that was being created by the Lieutenant, " And now arrives the Foreman, he was in the meeting with the Admiral and I, if you wish to clear things up with anyone it would be a neutral party and one greatly respected on this station wouldn't it?" Zoroku announced loudly so the room could hear.
"Not your typical stateroom, I dare say. What do you make of those antiquities?"
While Oola takes a look a the rare collection, Kai-wan performs a cursory security sweep. Given the eccentric nature of the quarters they have trespassed upon, the droid wants to make certain they have not triggered any surveillance devices. Don't want to be interrupted straightaway...
21 hours ago, Rabobankrider said:On Corouscant Kavar would take his time to respond to the young Raithe. 'For now, all we can do is wait padawan. We must not do anything rash or we may make the situation worse. A number of jedi were present during the attack, and they will be returning to Corouscant soon. Perhaps then you will be able to help. In the mean time, how was your mission at the docks?'
Raithe recounts their mission to Master Kavar.
"Not much, I know, but we did find a couple of weapon dealers involved in the Black Market operation," she says, giving the master the location, "Still haven't found anything about the spice, though."
As the Wookie lumbers towards the officer the mans hand would go to grip the but of his pistol as it sits in his holster. He would look up at Kattadik with gritted teeth, seemingly not understanding what he was saying. As he stands there the troops near by would be more reactive. A number of them would snap their guns out of their holsters and raise them to aim at the padawan. 'Back of Wookie! Back away from the lieutenant now!' one of them would shout as he takes a small forwards.
It was at this point that the foreman would rush towards the disturbance. 'Lieutenant! This is hardly appropriate' the man would gasp as he wipes his brow.
'Appropriate? The blasted jedi have been keeping secrets from us! They knew about this attack and did nothing about it!' the officer would roar in response.
'I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this, we should not jump to conclusions! We should really hear him out'
'Bah' Fraistor would growl as he shoves his way past Kataddik and Zoroku, clutching his head as he does. 'If he wants to talk, let him talk to command, I'm done with him'.
As he heads for the door, he could still be heard. 'Jedi, sith, they're all the same! It's a pity the Mandalorians didn't wipe you all out!' As he reaches the door he would turn to point to two of the soldiers near by. 'Watch them till they leave! They go nowhere without an escort!'
As he leaves the troopers would slowly lower their arms and return them to their belts. The foreman would glance at Zoroku for a moment as he dabs his brow again. 'I am so terribly sorry master jedi. The young officer has had a difficult time with the attack'.
On Corouscant Master Kavar would nod approvingly to the two young padawans. Given more time I am sure you could have found the evidence you needed. Unfortunately, I suspect that your mission will change soon. You have both done well though, and should be pleased with your progress'. With that he leaves the two in the temple entrance as he rushes away.
Kataddik chuckles, " U ugggh huurh uughghhhgh aaaaahnr. Aaahnruh raaaaaahhgh uggguh huuguughghg aaaaahnr."
We're not masters yet. We're still apprentices.
The suddenly cautious droid discovers a code lock that is, indeed, linked to an alarm. Casting his photoreceptors toward Oola, he observes that she has found a datapad.
"I do not suppose there is a password for this terminal, in the pad..?" Not likely, but organics can be surprisingly careless, even when they take the precaution to secure access to such data.
