WHAT ||The Knights head to investigate the death of a Jedi Master
WHERE || Kudat, South Asia & Luzon
WHEN || March
HOW || Actionspam

[  Jaina Solo has been searching for more information about the Jedi Order and the Force for years now, certain that she and her family can't be the only ones who fell through from a galaxy far, far away.  It would seem that her search has finally paid off:  a Jedi Master may have been recently seen in Malaysia, taking a boat to the island of Luzon, where she was discovered dead on the slopes of a volcano.

With the fallen Jedi's lightsaber in hand, Jaina has asked her friends and family to help her investigate, and try to recover the lost item that the Jedi was carrying on her person - one that was not left with the body.    They've decided to head to the port first, to see what rumors may be left in her wake.  The beautiful Malaysia port of Kudat looks out over inviting blue waters, a number of ships lined up here of all shapes and sizes.  ]

They're a little disappointing. [ She admits it with a crinkle of her nose, turning fully to look back at Poe. ] Limited maneuverability and altitude, low speeds. But Myrilandel gave me this incredible book with all sorts of different models in it, and I think if we could just get our hands on an acrobatic plane, it'd have more to it. [ She sighs. ] Or get that X-wing of yours repaired.

[flyingsolo]

The Knights have one plane like that - a stealth jet. But one of the Knights basically owns it himself, I think.

He doesn't let other people fly it, usually.

[cuivre]

[Miles tilts his head.]

Whose is it?

[flyingsolo]

Sir La Krail.

[newgenwraith]

Kinda hard when X-Wing parts are almost impossible to find around here. I'm making it up as I go along with help from one of the guys who makes all the gadgets for the knights.


[he was going to have to make himself friendly with this Sir La Krail when he got back. Whoever that was.]

[forcevisions]

I've been looking at the vehicles they do have here. We could probably repurpose some of those parts. But as for fuel ... [ She turns to Jaina. ] Maybe Sir La Krail will have some ideas. He's Katniss' mentor, isn't he? A freelancer.

[parsecs]

[Han snorts.] He's a bastard is what he is. If you're gonna go chat you should probably be aware. He hates everyone.

[cuivre]

Sounds like you might wanna go through this Katniss person, then.

[flyingsolo]

He's not that bad. [ her and miles went on a mission with him that one time, and it went fine, dad ]

[forcevisions]

[ It doesn't escape her notice that if Han had his way, many people would probably say the same about his grumpy old ass. She finds herself smiling despite the conversation. ]

I think I'll take my chances.

[parsecs]

Hrmph. Your funeral.

[........I mean, Rey's not wrong.]

[cuivre]

[Miles just watches all this sass unfold with a grin before he turns back to look out ahead of them and see how far they are from wherever they're going.]

[flyingsolo]

[ the dock is actually up ahead! and they can see the volcano looming in the distance on the isle ] That must be the place.

[parsecs]

Cheery place. [Navigating up to the dock.]

[forcevisions]

Eye of the beholder, I guess.

[ Han you're so cheerful about everything right now that your opinion has stopped counting. Rey doubles back from the bow of the boat and moves to the lip in the low bulwark that opens up for ramps and dock-access, anticipating an even line. She waits until Han steadies it to climb out. ]

[cuivre]

[Miles disembarks as well, taking a quick look around the dock but he's...clearly distracted by the volcano (spot 5).]

[flyingsolo]

We should meet up with the authorities, see what they've got about the crime scene. [ the island is actually pretty busy, tourists and locals alike visible up and down the strip of shops and docks. ]

[newgenwraith]

[Don't mind Poe as he's lifting his baby, I mean BB-8, out of the boat and onto the dock. The droid whistles a few times, his optic sensors scanning the island and then going to roll off and explore just a bit ahead of him]

I can walk around with BeeBee-Ate and see if he can get a match to the face he scanned from that photo Rey showed us.

[forcevisions]

[ rey gives poe the "good idea!!!" nod, then turns her attention to jaina: ]

Would we be better off finding a station or meeting them at the crime scene, do you think?

[swordofthejedi]

Personally, I'd like to see it with my own eyes.

[cuivre]

Agreed. Maybe we'll notice something they missed.

[parsecs]

[The corner of Han's mouth twitches up and he nods.] Sounds like a plan. Whatever authorities looked at it initially wouldn't've known what to look for.

[newgenwraith]

I guess I'll call you guys then if we find anything, and meet you there?

[forcevisions]

I'll keep my phone on. [ She turns her gaze up the side of the volcano. ] For the rest of us ... I think we've got a lot of climbing to do. [ She's gonna set off towards it on that note. Better get started. ]

[flyingsolo]

I'll call and let them know to meet us there. Let's get moving. [ make two branch off threads y/y? poe can have his own top level and i will make one for the other group ]
