"Well, either way, it sounds like we have a plan. I would suggest that whatever our destination, we should have a test run of this ship first before we leave the planet, just so we know it's space worthy." Aruuna then turns to Lucen.

"As for you, you're a member of this crew now. I think watching over us for three hundred years gives you that.. so if your presence on here would put us at risk, we will deal with that. If you want to come with us, you can, no matter the risk. We don't leave crew behind."

"I would just like to point out that if we do leave this system, I find it unlikely we'd find reason or time to come back here.. and we know this creature was here when we came in. Anyway.." She gives a little shrug, turning to Lucen. "Would you come with us, Lucen, wherever we went?"

After making doubly sure that Lucen is fine, Aruuna turns to the rest of the crew and speaks surprisingly calmly.

"I would not object to seeing this 'Dragon'. I don't think we mean anything hostile towards it, and as long as we act.. peacefully, I don't think it'd be hostile towards us. Besides, given the description of the creature, it's likely it was, at the very least, alive around three hundred years ago, so it might have an idea as to how we ended up here.

As for a destination after that, I think I mentioned Dantooine a moment ago.. and now that I've calmed down a little, I find my attitude hasn't changed one bit. I want to go there and kill every single Sith on the planet."

Aruuna looks rather surprised at that, and rushes over to them, kneeling down to touch Lucen's shoulder.

"What happened? Are you all right?"

Danguard repositions his black leather gloves as he looks down and speaks quietly to the Twi'lek.

"Arunna, you are speaking from anger, or revenge. This is not the way of the Jedi. Put your rage aside, and find the peaceful center and then make your decision.

If you leave the door open to the darkside, it will come in whispering in soothing tones and you will not realize until too late it has taken a hold of you."

"There is nothing of the darkside about wanting to end the Sith threat and protect people, or save them from the darkside. So what if I'm angry about them? I'd be amazed if anyone here wasn't angry about the Sith."

"I remember well what the Sith did to my.. did to the planet. I'd be surprised if much of it was left, but.. well, maybe something's still there. Something worth salvaging. Could we get there 42, maybe using the I.D. codes from your ship? I would hate to be blasted out of orbit, after all."

Aruuna looks straight into Ceelell's eyes before speaking. "Violence is all the Sith understand, and violence directed against them is the only way to talk to them. My suggestion still stands, and at the very least, it'd mean we would be doing something. After all, we are still Jedi."

She then turns to 42. "42, a question. How deep is Dantooine in Sith territory, and how many forces does it have? If you know."

Aruuna's face twitches just a little at the news that Dantooine is under the control of the hated Sith, trying hard to control her emotions, talking softly.

"There is no emotion, there is... there is.." Then rather louder "Oh thrice damned Schutta spawn!! I have a new suggestion. We go to Dantooine, kill every Sith there, kill anyone raiding the Enclave, kill anyone in our way.. and save Dantooine."

"Well, sounds like we are rushing back to the Republic. I would have liked to see this Dragon, but no matter." Aruuna shrugs slightly, but doesn't appear too bothered.

"Though, if we want to head into Republic space in a slightly less conspicuous manner, might I suggest we go to a planet of less importance, off the main trade routes? Like Dantooine? Might be smart to get some more information about what's happening in the galaxy before heading to Sector Zero."

"Well, I think the main reason for going and seeing this Dragon would be to find out if it knows why we are here, as in, five hundred years ahead of where we were. I think that knowledge would be worth the risk."

Aruuna strokes her chin a moment, thinking. "Besides, it'd be hard finding a hyperspace route around here. I don't fancy a blind jump either. At the very least, it's an easy trip to the planet, so it'd be a good test of the ship. Either way, I'd be happy for you to come along Lucen." She smiles her way.

"I'd suggest we have a vote on which way to go."

"Don't worry 42. We'll probably need you for star charts and the like, so we can figure out how to hyperspace out of this place without, you know, flying into a sun. Or something.." She shrugs a bit, trying to reassure 42.

"That said.. maybe we could visit this 'Dragon' I think Lucen mentioned before heading out into the universe?"

"I suppose getting more information is not a bad thing.. just as long as we do something with it later." Aruuna sighed a little at the prospect of less violence against the Sith in her future, but she quickly covers her emotions up.

"Still, we need a way off this planet. I think Lucen was mentioning some of the difficulties in that?"

Stepping away from Danguard a moment and striding up to the ship itself, Aruuna runs her fingers over the ships nameplate in an almost sentimental fashion, cleaning it of any dust picked up from the surface, admiring the craft. "She's a good ship. She's torn up plenty, but she'll fly true."

Turning back to the rest of the party to speak to them. "I guess we just have to decide where to go. I think it's safe to say our original mission is over.. but there are still Sith out there whom I wouldn't mind introducing to my Master's saber. Anyone else here want to go Sith hunting?"

Smiling Defensively: "You wound me, I'm more than just a few well placed muscles. I got more than a hidden sheath up my sleeve, there are a few tricks...somewhere, but they're up there."

Danguard looks to HK-22.

"I wouldn't say Twenty Two is half bad with a saber, a little bit or training and he might be a force to be reckoned with."

Directing his attention back to Arruna.

"But, your right, I would like to spar with someone that knows how to use a lightsaber already. I might pick up a few tricks from them...you."

"HK's learning how to use a lightsaber is he? Well, best bring him along for sparring practice too. Could do with a challenge, after all.."

She ponders a moment, thinking to herself before replying.

"Well, I suppose we could train a bit. Mock duel and the like. It'd be nice to fight an opponent that can think better then a droid.. You can do that, right Danguard?"

Danguard looks over the ship as he speaks.

"I'm a trained fighter pilot, I'm sure I can assist you in the cockpit. I'd like the opportunity to see what you got - the ship that is."

"Sounds like a plan. Though.. I think we can wait till dawn before doing anything. We've got a night to rest, or do whatever."

Woohoo! 600xp! Level 2 for all!. Also, Aruuna would pick option 4

Aruuna stands looking at the ship along with everyone else.. "Well, firstly, I'd make sure the ship is spaceworthy. Just a few flights around the place to check everything's working, then climb up through the atmosphere. I wouldn't want to know about a leak when we hit vacuum, after all. Anyone want to help me pilot?"

They might just pull a Bindo

Aruuna would join the work team, though the heavy physical work seems to be just a bit too difficult for her at the moment. Strength Check (7+1+1=9)

Sexy Twi'lek exploring the Sith Ship yet again. Along with having a few glances at Danguard working hard...

Intelligence Roll (15+1=16)

Assisting the Exploration of the Sith Ship again. (Intelligence Roll [16+1=17])

Once the exploration of the Sith Ship has finished for the day, Aruuna would head up to the cockpit and take each of the crews remains and wrap them up, taking them down to storage.

"Probably best to bury them in space. Would be fitting."

After that, she'd take a turn on watch inside the cockpit (it being the highest spot on the ship), then get six hours meditation.

Now I demand to hear the joke!

Searching the Ship, seeing what interesting tech she might find. Intelligence Roll (9+1=10)

Not having any knowledge of machines, beyond the blatantly obvious, Aruuna would stick to exploring the Sith ship to discover what's onboard, aiding whoever is best with the technology.

Other then that, she'd spend her days training and offering to spar with any of the other Jedi to get back up to spec.

"Don't feel bad 42. At least I never lied to you.. now come on, we need to get some things, like uh.. a new hyperdrive, right? Maybe you can lead us to the one on this ship."

"Good idea Groodar. Reprogram him to serve Jedi, rather then Sith. But don't mess around too much with his programming, we could do with that information after all."

"42 does seem to have one rather useful feature, in the shape of all the galactic knowledge he possesses. We should at the very least get that out of him. Besides, we could do with a protocol droid type thing.. right?"

"Of course 42. You may shut down so he can work on you. See you on the other side!"

Aruuna turns and begins responding to Danguard

"Well, I'm sure we could find some alone time for me to beat.."

But she is quickly interrupted by the song of the Diathim, causing her head and lekku to thrum a little, though she shakes off the effects quickly enough. After recovering, she turns back to the droid.

"Ah.. no 42. We are.." She hesitates a moment "We are Sith, and not bowed at all by these feeble mental attacks. We won't attack until we want to."

Aruuna bristles considerably at being described as a Sith, looking quite a bit annoyed, though the knowledge that Danguard thinks she has pleasing curves certainly adds a little to her annoyance. She does, however, have the good sense to eventually cover her quite visible emotion for the sake of the droid, responding out loud.

"Yeah.. I suppose 'Lord' Troy isn't as good a combatant as I am. But he's my equal in the rest."

Aruuna listens patiently to 42's words, stifling a roll of the eyes when he mentions 'Sith Scholars', finding such a concept to be patently ridiculous. After he finishes, she responds in a calm voice.

'Well, 42, this may be an alien concept to you, though that is of course your creators fault and not yours, but we do not have to tame, enslave or subjugate others to do our bidding. We simply.. co-operate. Gets things done a lot better, and without bloodshed.

Anyway! If we want to get off this rock, we've got to know how much of this ship is operational, so we might borrow some parts and stick them in ours. Have you done a diagnostic recently, 42?'

'Oh, don't worry 42, she's with us. She won't harm you. Anyway, as I said, there are a few mechanical defects with our ship, so we might have to salvage a few things from this one in order to repair it. That's alright with you 42? I mean, it'll get us to those Sith Embassies quicker.'

'I'm Aruuna, nice to.. uh, surrender to you, AAD-42. And yes, our ship is perfectly serviceable, just a few bumps and scrapes on it, you know? Mechanical issues, but nothing that can't be fixed. Anyway, how exactly do we get out of here?'

Aruuna refrains from commenting at the distressing news, though thinking that it'd be fun to be in such a target rich universe. Instead she talks to the droid. 'So, droid.. or whatever your designation is, should we head back to our ship, so we can blast off this rock?'

Perception Check 1+1=2 Aruuna can tell there's a ceiling, some walls, another ceiling.. no wait, that's the floor.

Seeing that Klonsa is going to take care of Christ, she turns back to the droid, and grins slightly. 'Well, our ship is kinda broken at the moment. We need to salvage some stuff from this ship to get it done. Just so we can get to your ransom quicker, of course.'

'That's exactly what I've been saying! We surrender'

Perception Check 10+1=11

'Not just now, big guy. It does have us at quite the tactical disadvantage. I mean, it was a carefully planned ambush it set out which Danguard here sprung, so I think that for now we should stick to talking, rather then blasting. Just for now..' She winks at HK, turning back to the other droid in the room.

Aruuna grins to herself at Danguard's entrance, thinking he should lose a few pounds. She then turns to the droid, drawing her lightsaber but not activating it.

'Come out here into the light then, so we can.. surrender.'

Seeing no immediate threat, she leaps down into the cargo bay with a little flourish and heads to the cargo lift, pressing the button once she's within.

Dex Check (1+2=3) Yay, Critical Fail. Cue embarrassment as she falls in after Author

After switching on her holo-comlink to pick up the tranmissions, Aruuna goes to open the access port just slightly, enough to let the droid in, closing it behind the droid.

'We should probably save that till it's really desperate then. No sense risking it, although you should probably go down and see Christy to ask her just how badly she is hurt.'

Seeing the access panel, Aruuna then turns from Lucen to the rest of the group and whistles to get their attention.

'Hey, Groodar! Can you send your droid up here? Got some scouting for him to do.'

Aruuna grins to Lucen. 'She's not the only one.. but I'm sure everyone else will be fine. Is there anything you can do to help with their injuries?'

Seeing Danguard try to push the droid away, she moves over to help.

Aruuna spends a moment recovering from the battle, catching her breath, before waving Lucen down. 'Shall we investigate inside then? Find out what this ship's doing?'

Two Swift Actions for Recovery

Aruuna shouts out in pain, and quickly curses, waving her lightsaber in the direction of the droid. 'No good schuuta spawned bag of bolts. You'll pay for that!'

She then moves to climb the side of the ship.

Climb Check (12)

If that's successful, she'll move towards the dish as well.

Swift Action for Recover (So she needs to do 2 more), Move Action for Climbing, then Standard Action to move towards the dish

Aruuna quickly changes course to the ship, just managing to skip through the rubble and wreckage.

Acrobatics Check = (8+7=15)

Aruuna grins with delight at seeing the droid go down, quite enjoying the battle and heading quickly over to the other two droids, eager to stick her saber into them too.

Double Move towards the other droids

Acrobatics Check (with Force Point Spent) [18+3+7=28]

Aruuna quite nimbly and acrobatically dances from spot to spot, navigating through the debris easily.

Aruuna moves slightly closer to the droid, getting onto some stable ground, before crying out 'For the Jedi!' and charging at the machine, lightsaber swinging.

Move action to move a few squares closer, then Charge as a Standard Action. If you rule that there's too much debris around for that, then she'll just double move into melee, so ignore the attack roll

Attack Roll (17+2+2=21)

Damage Roll (1+8+1=10)

Aruuna grins at him, drawing and activating her lightsaber. 'Alright. I'll try to leave you something to kill.. but no promises.'

She then orders Blue Team to go through her comlink, and leaps out of cover. She then charges towards the droid nearest to her, using a double move (as in, move action and standard action) to get as close as possible.

Acrobatics Roll to deal with any difficult terrain. [20+7=27]
