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've got healers who use magic. [He rolls his eyes and waves his hands, clearly skeptical of the idea.]

Could even replace her arm better than any robotics.

[cuivre]

[Miles is suddenly REALLY UNSURE because learning things about the force from someone who may or may not be lying about redeeming themselves seems like a bad idea, but he...keeps his mouth shut.

He'll just let...Wynn talk to her first and go from there.]

[flyingsolo]

It has to be better to have truth and lies to sort through than to have nothing.

[newgenwraith]

And hey, maybe this will help?

[totally pulling that cube out of his jacket pocket and holding it out in Jaina's general direction]

[forcevisions]

[ doo doo doo calling Wynn. ]

[wynn]

[ it won't exactly be a long conversation. wynn agrees that they need to know more and is glad that they didn't have to act as executioner - he agrees quickly that she should be brought in, and contained for now ]

[forcevisions]

[ Eventually, Rey hangs up the phone and returns to the group. She looks at the other knights first, then steps in front of Darth Vane. ]

You want a chance to redeem yourself? This is it. Come with us.

[ Better to invite her to make the choice herself (inasmuch as she has a choice in her position) than to simply drag her off. ]

[throughvictory]

To where? What is it you offer me?

[forcevisions]

You will be brought to our base, prevented from harming anyone else while you find your peace, and together we will make sense of what this cube contains to see if your hope is indeed inside.

[throughvictory]

Together. [ she looks between jaina and rey, focusing on them both very intently ] The three of us.

[newgenwraith]

[from where he is leaning against the wall now, one hand on top of BB-8 to keep him upright.] Can we continue this discussion on the way back? Adrenaline really starting to cut out on me.

[cuivre]

[TERRIBLE FEELINGS INCREASING STOP STARING AT HIS GIRLFRIEND LIKE THAT

/ahem anyway]

Yeah, come on, buddy. You need a shoulder to lean on?

[parsecs]

Here, this'll help. [Han holds out a flask that... does not contain a potion but honestly he's found brandy works just as well most of the time. Sort of.]

[forcevisions]

[ Numb, as if with impending bad decision, Rey nods. ]

Yes. [ But Poe's struggle helps her out of that haze, and she looks back at him, then at Darth Vane. ] Please. We should get you both to the castle's healers.

[flyingsolo]

[ with a worried glance at poe, jaina nods ] Let's not waste anymore time.

[ without arguing, darth vane rises to her feet, and falls silently but with rather regal bearing for someone who's been defeated and very literally disarmed, into step behind them.

jaina mutters quietly where only rey can hear: ] I hope we're making the right call.

[forcevisions]

It can't be worse than executing her.

[ And what else could they do? She steels her resolve, trying to ignore the prodding voice of doubt in her mind that expresses all the same fears Jaina has. ]

[throughvictory]

[ and vane trails behind, lifting her chin slightly... unclear whether she's heard any of that or not.

it's going to be a fun flight home. ]
