Looking at Ceelel and Klonsa when they ask about being preserved for 300 years, Lucen replies to them.
"Nothing can die on these moons or the world below, at least not from aging or from starvation. The storms, accidents, meteors, or the bright lances from the raiders . . . these things bring death, but a lack of food, or the passage of time, death is not in these things."
Klonsa turns to stare at the Khil in disbelief. How can the Khil just accept something so impossible while he, a Force User, could not. Panic began to give way to fear, the Sith training he originally received began to surface, crush fear with anger. A dark cloud began to cross his face then a point of light appeared within his mind. The memory of Revan sparing Shasa, himself and the others comes to his mind. His newer Jedi training takes hold he closes his eyes and he begins to mutter.
"Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet the Force."
Slowly he feels peace return to him, even the pain of his dry skin begins to ache less. Opening his eyes he looks to his companions and the angel.
"Does anyone have any water please?"
For Ceelell:
;)

"What you sssay about the propertiesss of thisss plassse isss fasssinating. I would relishh the opportunity to ssstudy them...sssee if they can be contained." Remar says this all off-handedly, not caring whether anyone is actually listening. The primary focus of his attention is HK-22, as he tries to verify the droid is operational.
Following on from the revelation in her mind that Lucen doesn't know what a Twilek is, Aruuna thinks a moment before speaking.
'Have you ever heard of Coruscant? The Republic? Jedi? Do you perhaps have a Star Map of some sort?'
"Jedi? That is what the One Who Disappeared is, correct? Jedi are like us? They feel things without their bodies? Is this correct?"
"I have not heard of Coruscant, or this Republic . . . some of the wrecks may have star maps of some sort. My people do not use them. We can defy gravity for periods of time, and the vacuum does not harm us, so we travel freely from the moons to the surface without ships. We have no desire to leave the moons, and we avoid the planet."
'Where are we? I mean.. what is outside? Vacuum, or an atmosphere we can breath? Are we on a planet?'
"I believe the survivors call this place Iego. You are on one of Iego's moons, which is where my people live. Most of the shipwrecks fall all the way to the planet, but a few, those that aren't battered to pieces by the debris, come to rest on the moons."
"You should be able to breathe on this moon. Oh, that reminds me of why I was hoping you would wake up . . . the other shipwreck."

"Other shipwreck? Could you show us? And please tell me there is water on this moon."
"Other shipwreck? Could you show us? And please tell me there is water on this moon."
"The storms are dangerous right now, but I think I could bring you some water. My people can feel the storm and avoid the worst of it. The other shipwreck was strange. It crashed, but not for the reason the ships normally crash. It seemed to try to crash, and then things like him came out,"
Lucen points at HK-22.
"Except not with all of the brown and orange stuff on them. These are shinny, with silver, red, and black on them, like the colors that the raiders wear when they have found this place."
"And please tell me there is water on this moon."
For Klonsa

"Wrecksss...plural?" Remar pauses in his examination of the droid (Mechanics = d20+9=21) to look up, seeming rather like an addict in a spice mine.

"Please tell us about these Raiders. You mentioned before that they bring death right."
Klonsa's eyes wander towards HK-22 wondering who these droids from the other wreck serve.
"Wrecksss...plural?" Remar pauses in his examination of the droid (Mechanics = d20+9=21) to look up, seeming rather like an addict in a spice mine.
For Remar:
"Ships have been crashing here . . . well, for as long as I can remember. I don't recall many leaving, however, especially if the poor travelers reach the surface of the planet."
For Klonsa:
"Please tell us about these Raiders. You mentioned before that they bring death right."Klonsa's eyes wander towards HK-22 wondering who these droids from the other wreck serve.
"Most of those that crash here surprised, or bewildered. Some of them are cruel or scared, but the ones that have wrecked here more recently have said that they claim this system as their own. They wreck just like everyone else.
They grow angry when they cannot escape, and they try to control us or kill us. They feel things with their minds, like we do, and like the Jedi, but they are cruel, like the Demons below are.
When they attack, they create storms, like the ones that occur naturally on the moons, and they attack with bright, angry, red lances of light.
These metal things from the last ship that just crashed aren't living things, but they have the same colors and symbols that the cruel, Demon-like ones wear."
I'm going to skill: Use Force to 'Sense the Force' and detect force users by spending a full round action per the skill desc.[/ooc]
Roll: 15+7=
For Christy:
A flash of realization crosses Klonsa's face. He suddenly strides to the Cargo Hold and begins sifting through the wreckage.
"Please be there, please be there..."
For GM:
After his speech with the master Jedi, Groodar turns to look at the droid who has opened the door. Groodar is not skilled in the technology aspect of knowledge but he is well-versed in droids and realizes this droid needs much maintenance and possibly upgrading with his skills.
As the large sound is heard from the rear of the ship Groodar lends an ear to try and identify the cause of the sound.
Mechanics roll to identify sound form rear of ship. (1d20+7=27)
Rodese: "qaStaHvIS wa' ram loS SaD Hugh SIjlaH qetbogh loD"
"I've got a bad feeling about this."
Groodar grabs the nearest thing to hold onto and looks for a saftey chair or netting.

As you look through the supplies, you find the water tanks are in good repair and are fully usable.

"Ships have been crashing here . . . well, for as long as I can remember. I don't recall many leaving, however, especially if the poor travelers reach the surface of the planet."
As he wraps up his triage of the droid, remar verifies HK-22 is powered on and gives him a friendly pat on the shoulder. "Shhip-shhape." He looks around at the battered cargo hold they're in; light streaming through gaps in the hull. "Ssso to ssspeak."
'Could you describe one of these symbols that the cruel demon ones wear, for us, Lucen?'
The symbol that Lucen describes looks like this:

Groodar jolts away, seemingly dreaming of the events of the crash once again. As he jolts awake, Lucen touches him lightly on the shoulder.
"You make noises nearly as funny as the dry skinned Jedi over there."
Lucen pulls her hand back, as she remembers the reaction that she got after touching the lekku.
After that, she turns back to Lucen. 'Please excuse me. I'm going to go check on the rest of the ship, to see how she's holding up.' With that, she heads over to the door, pressing the buttons to open it and hopefully head into the rest of the ship.
When you move to open the door, it slides halfway open, stops, then slides the rest of the way open, making a horrible screeching noise as it slides the rest of the way open.
The symbol that Lucen describes looks like this:
After Lucen describes it, anyone with Galactic Lore can make a check to attempt to discern some information from the symbol.
Basic: "So perhaps some form of the Sith still exists after all this time. We should be very careful in the coming hours, they've had 300 years to perfect their art."
A look of relief comes over Klonsa's face as he sees the water tanks are still usable.
"Thank the Progenitor, this will feel good on my skin."
After properly hydrating himself he heads back to the others. Seeing Aruuna about to explore the rest of the ship.
"Wait for me, I'll help."
Klonsa then follows after Aruuna.
Grimacing at the screeching sound, she pulls her lightsaber out of her sheath as she starts heading through the bowels of the ship up to the bridge.
For Aruuna and Klonsa:
You also see the captain, his co-pilot, and the chief engineer and tactical officer, all long rotted away in their seats. All of them are strapped in, so its likely that the vacuum killed them, but couldn't suck them out into the void.
From the windshield you can see various arching electrical discharges shooting from surface to surface outside the ship, as if massive static electricity builds up and then arcs from place to place.
The ground outside is littered with large, shield like leaves, as well as a ton of debris, including what you would assume is wreckage from older ships that have crashed here.
While you are in the command section, make a perception check and let me know the result.
Klonsa stares in disbelief at the state of decay the bodies have gone through. The truth of the amount of time that has passed begins to dawn on him. With grim determination he strides toward the bodies looking to see if there isn't any way to move them.
"We should at least prepare some graves for those that have fallen once the storm that Lucen mentioned passes."
HK-22's systems seem to take a long time to come online and when they do, he whirs as he conducts a diagnostic to verify the passage of 300 years.
"Statement: internal chronometers indicate a passage of 300 year. Query: how are the fleshpots still alive? Disappointed query: DOes this mean this unit no longer is authorized to engage in mindless violence?"
Groodar goes to where Danguard is to see if he can lend aid. On his way to the other area of the ship he speaks to the droid HK-22.
Basic: "HK-22 are you functionable, do you need repairs?"
He removes his primitive backback and removes two items from the well-worn leather pouches of the back, a tool kit and a round droid about the size of a bowling ball adorn with numerous lenses.
Groodar activates the droid and it hovers above him.
Rodese: "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong."
"Author start follow and auto-record protocols."
The droid responds with a barrage of beeps and crackles.
Binary: "Beep, crackle, beep, blip"
"By your command Groodar."
Groodar checks the hypderdrive to see if it is active or otherwise functionable.
Computer skill check to check Hypderdrive status. (1d20+12=20)
He then checks using his tool kit to see if the Hyperdrive is repairable or otherwise salvagable.

For HK-22:
Groodar speaks to Danguard.
Basic: Master Jedi, Groodar has determined that these hyperdrive engines are far beyond a simple fix. What do you recommend as our next course of action?"
Groodar speaks to Danguard.
Master Jedi, Groodar has determined that these hyperdrive engines are far beyond a simple fix. What do you recommend as our next course of action?"
Basic: "I have not attained the rank of master, if a title you must use Knight will suffice. I suspect it's time to scavenge the other ships for working parts, perhaps with some luck a working hyperdrive.
We'd be remiss however in not looking into these raiders, I think all here heard the descriptions and how they seem to all add up to some kind of Sith presence.
HK-22 completes his self exam. "Statement: this unit is perfectly functional. However this unit is in need of routine physical maintenance due to rusting. This unit is not pleased."
HK-22 moves to a computer terminal and attempts to access the computer.
Use Computer: 1d20+5=20
He'll attempt to use the computer to determine current location and scan for lifesigns besides the Jedi on the shuttle.

For HK-22:
Klonsa looks outside squinting.
"What the..."
He presses the intercom, hoping it still works.
"Everyone, we've got company."
He then looks back at the corpses of the captain and crew one last time before heading back to the others.
Groodar bows to the Knight Danguard and then leaves the area to go where the droid designated as HK-22 is lcoated. The small hovering droid naturally follows him.
Rodese: "bortaS bIr jablu'DI' reH QaQqu' nay'"
"Author, please record close up of HK-22 for documentation and archival purpose."
Groodar removes Shine Gel and an Electron-Buff Pad from his tool kit and asks HK-22.
Basic: "Mind if I take a look?"
Ten minute Mechanics check on the droid designated HK-22. (1d20+7=26)
