Peace of mind

Brem has headed out to ensure Kimbrya is safe. I will meditate in the temple and get my head better sorted out. There are things I need to do. I think I will take another day. It took me 2 days just to journal the last two entries...

I pray no harm has come to Kimbry, that Brem is taking good care of her. I know he will.

And so the pendulum swing the other way... Oy... :)

I was a bit confused by the face that looked up at me from under the sun hat.... Brem. Brem? Yes... Brem. I wanted so badly to go home... to go to the temple... to its safety and comfort. Brem led me back to his ship. I was in MosEisley. I recognized my surroundings. He hyperjumped directly to Dantooine. My emailer was annoying me on my datapad. Oh yea... i had an order waiting for me in Eden. So we went there to pick it up. I was feeling considerably better. My head cleared. Though memories still a bit fresh. Brem was... strange. I could see and sense his want to get close to me... and his caution and concern. I wasn't sure what to feel myself.

At the Temple, he was a bit startled at the changes... He had been away from it for a long time. It eased me and helped me get comfortable in the Temple to give him a tour of all the changes. It does look good and much more like a temple. He liked it. When we staopped at the room a set up for Kimbrya, I asked him about her. She was safe... in Theed's Library. I wonder how safe that is... won't hunters come looking for her in the places she is already most comfortable with? I mentioned to brem that I found and linked to her journal... but she is not the journalling writer that I am. We then went up to the meditation rooms. I had forgotten that I put painting in them. They looked good. As I entered the Blue Room with Brem coming in behind... I froze. He stood there in the doorway, my only escape.

In such a small voice so full of emotion, sadness, pain... he whispered: "I will never do that to you. I would never, could never hurt you like that."

He reached for me as tears threatened to humiliate me. I turned from him to hide the embarrassing tears. Zabrak should be strong... why am I not? He truned me to him and wrapped his arms aroud me. My tears spilled forth uncontrollably. I wanted to struggle from his touch... but he held me firm... comforting. I think he almost cried himslef. Why? His strength was so unshaking. I clung to it ... to him. We sat for a long time. Quietly speaking of the things that happened to us over the passing days.

Our bond was so stong... he was like a beacon of light for me... chasing away the nightmares... bringing laughter. He soon learned that tickling me is not wise. I hope i did not crack his jaw. All was well. As the pendulum swung wildly in another direction. His touch and curiosity... something blissful tugged at this bond. We touched... we... explored.... we made each other nervous. What were we doing? We didn't know. It was all noew to us. Well not to me... but like this... gentle, sweet and full of... a caring the burned and cleanses the horrors away... was this love? We kissed. And it was ok... Too nervous to continue, we just curled on the blue carpet together in each others arms. No Dark Jedi will distort this. Never. Our bond is too strong... it filled me completely and set me at peace. Yes... i think this is love. I told Brem how much I cared for him. I wanted him to know... in case something ever did happen... like it almost did this week... I wanted him to know. We may not have done anything more that kiss, but that was more than enough.

Honour is the law. Love is the Bond.

Now I understand this... this vow that Fyrshka lived by... that Dolch knew in the depths of his being. I understand... And I too vow to live by it. So mote it be.

And so the pendulum swings... violently

When darkness cleared... reality crashed in. I don't know if I ever left Theed... I must have. I have Lokian Badges from Nym. The Dark Jedi that took me out in the Battle for Theed... I was... was he? Did I? I must have escaped for a bit... or he just let me go? I don't know. But when the dark hazyness cleared some, I was badly wounded. He has me manacled to the wall as Maulers (a terribly dangerous Nabooian gang) kept guard.

He... I wish I knew his name to place a karking bounty on him... he was very powerful, more so than any Dark Jedi I have heard about. He was searching through me... in my head... distorting experience and feelings... what was he after?!? He told me Brem joined the Dark Jedi. NOOOOooooOOoooo!!!!!! I could not believe that. The pain he inflicted on me... trying to learn... i don't know what.... I didn't have the imformation he was looking for. Did I? Kimbrya. My thoughts betrayed me. He ensured my comm was on... I heard Brem' voice at one point. At least I think I did. This Dark Jedi was revelling in the pain he caused me... I didn't want Brem near him. I was just about ready to give my spirit up to the Force (like Fyrshka had). But then I could feel Brem... and the memories of the wonderful times we spent together rose to the surface of my thoughts:

- laughing together on the Temple floor at the Dancing Bantha
- hunting piket together when i couldn't really fight them
- making carpet angels on the plush orange carpet up in the orange meditation room
- racing with our dewback and bol on the Temple roof (good thing the building structure is really realy strong!)
- curling in his lap like a kitten on the blue rug waiting for the blue light to come on for the first time...

The Dark Jedi was furious with my thoughts and feelings. He sunk himself deep into my mind and the images i saw... felt... seemed so real... were they? He grabbed the last memory of me curled in Brem's lap. Then Brem shoved me to the ground and... ravaged me fiercely, violently. I struggled to purge the new memory. The Dark Jedi told me that Brem knows Darkness already (i know that to be true) and that Brem thinks of this act with pleasure... I saw/felt it again. I creamed and struggled. NOOOoOOoo!!! Brem would never!!! But ... Darkenss had touched him... And what I know of my cultural research... this could very well be what a Darkened Zabrak would do. Doubt crept into my thoughts and heart. Does Brem think these things? Does he want to just take me by Force and is only restraining himself? And what if the Dark Side had claimed him.... The pain I felt inside me was terrible. Worse than any physical experience I had ever felt. I blacked out.

Water! Water jolted me to consciousness. They threw me into a murky swamp. The water coming over my head. I was too weak.. too wounded to struggle. I inhaled water. I paniced. I grabbed for the near rock. The Imperials watching for me to drown noticed me. I felt Brem close. Some woman's voice... was stong in my mind: LIVE! I struggled out of the water, up the rock. The Imperials shot at me. the Exterminator didn't miss. I fell into the water. He grabbed me and dragged me out. Brem..... Blimey..... I managed to reach my homing beacon before the Darkness from my wound took me.

I remembered little else until I crawled from a cloning facility. Someone was there with me. Blimey? Brem. BREM! He took me in his arms. The images and feeling of him ravaging me in the Temple overpowered my thoughts. I paniced. He let me go. I could not really move. I could not see clearly. I was hurt so terribly. I needed a doctor. Despite my discomfort, Brem pulled me up and supported me all the way to a starport... and onto an unfamiliar ship. NOOooo!! Not a ship. Not that! I will be FREE!!! I could not move... The stars shifted... bile rose in my throat. I collapsed onto the floor, fetal. Shivering uncontrollable.

We landed and my stomach emptied into the dusty dirt floor of a starport. A gentle hand wiped my mouth and helped me up. Stumbling ... we reached a cantina. There we sat while he got me a drink to ease my nausia. He contacted a medic in the med centre and then helped me there. As I lay on the bed, still shivering, while the medics treated my wounds, I lokked over to see who brought me. Blimey? He looked so like Blimey. The sun hat, the two-toned skirt. I smiled and called his name. But it wasn't Blimey.

Reality?

I woke in Nym's... on Lok... or did I? I can no longer tell real from unreal. Why am I here? I must be dreaming. I would never come to Lok without Brem or Blimey.

No... I really must be dreaming. I was working for Nym. And I met some Imperial guy, Haan. He is bold, and annoyed me much at first, but persistant. Yet, he never invaded my space or my privacy. He seemed a bit lonely and just wanted a new friend. Why me? I am seriously Rebel... and he seriously Imperial? Then again, so was Blimey... So I guess I will give him a fair chance at friendship. It was a dream after all... wasn't it?

Things are so fuzzy. I have been lone-wolfing, trying to find Kimbrya. Brem has not been around and I fear for her safety. Will she know danger when she sees it? What is someone uses honey on her? She might not know death is the next swat.

Brem...

Darkness. It is constantly with me... whispering in my ear. The nightmares are and terrible memories haunt me sleeping or awake. The old one... and the new ones... like the Dark Jedi who hospitalized me. Theed? Aren't I in the hospital there?

Darkness.... The pains come and go... the faces change....

*darkness*

Brem? ~~~ Where are you? ~~~

Darkness and blood

I was struck by someone... something. I woke. I was battered and bruised and being dragged through the sand and stones of a dry plain to a tent. Blood was the trail i left. Disoriented. Weak. I could no longer struggle after what they had done to me. Darkness claimed me repeatedly. A man in a black imperial pilot suit stood over me with a lightsaber. "I hit your mind. you should have been better prepared for me." I don't know that voice. The cobblestones beneath me were cool... how? Darkeness claimed me again.

Something hit me hard in the chest. No... hit my very spirit. BREM!!!

I tried to cry out. But I could not. The nightmare had me firm. Or was this real?

A doctor kneeled over me. "You are in Theed. Rest."

I struggled. I need to get out! I need to escape! I need my freedom! BREM!!!!

*darkness*

Killing two birds with one stone... or trying to.

I went to Naboo to see if I can dig up anything more on Kimbrya. Lone-wolfing my hunting for a bit. I am just feeling very sociable or comfortable around people at the moment. Not after the past couple days. I figure this is best.... for now. I have check all the high end med centres and hospitals on Naboo... nothing.

I hope something turns up tomorrow.

I got a hot tip while I was here. BONUS! Avian meat on naboo just ranked OQ (overall quality) of 932/1000... that is 93% useful! Excellent. I will hunt avain meat for the next while as I search for Kimbrya. meats lately have been of terrible quality all over the galaxy. I bet the docs are going to be thrilled!

Called... to defeat...

I woke in my temple... to the sound of my comm beeping incessantly. How did I get here? Wasn't I on... Lok? Yavin? OY!!! I was on Yavin... wasn't I? Thrakazog was tagging my comm. I didn't recognize his voice at first. I didn't recognize my temple surroundings! I had forgotten that i had rearranged things the other day without loggin the act... He came over immediately to see how I was. I was not really hurt... but I was/am very dazed. Not ready to get too close to anyone. Memories are a bit over-fresh and confusing. We talked and I showed him around the temple. It helped me calm down and reacquaint myself with the changes I ahd made.

As he left... I got a strong call that pulled me from... within. I was needed in Theed to defend it against Imperials Dark Jedi. I tried to get help, tryied to gather others of the revel Alliance to be there. But there were only a handful of us there. Even with some rebel soldiers... We were badly outnumbered and inexperienced. The defeat was terrible. Very terrible. The doc and I were the first down. Was it because the Force surges within me and the Dark Jedi can sense it? Probably.

Yes... I surge with the Force now. I can't explain the feeling... but it is disorienting and yet... ... ... it is like when i was so open to people around me. Now i feel the very galaxy! The meditation techniques I had learned are helping much. But I know I must face some serious issues that have been ... burried for a few months. I do not want that to tempt me to do the wrong thing. I do not want to be a danger to anyone.

OH! That damnable cage! Brem brought it home. Now I remember! I know what it is now... It really needs purifying or destroying. I wish I knew the proper ritual for that! I need to find Kimbrya. I hope she is safe.

I have not seen brem for a long time. I hope he is safe too. Strange things are going on. maybe it is just me. I just can't seem to completely shake what happened. I will go meditate in the temple some more and then start looking for Kimbrya again.

The Force... of a Nightmare

When I got back... it was like a walked into a wall as i entered the lower area of the temple. I took a meditation pose for a moment to get a grip and when I opening my eyes...

*FLASH* Metal walls? *shook my head* Temple stone basement. Skywalker asked if I was alright. I lied... and said yes. But I knew something was wrong....

Skywalker asked me to hunt a critter that swallowed a part of his ship... *smirk* he should have parked it better or but of stuff to keep critters back. So off I went into the jungle tracking a big critter. Good thing I AM a ranger... I tracked it easily. But I was also getting tired. Fatigue must be effecting me somehow. I willed myself to work through it. It was like something dark and heavy was wrapping around me... sapping my energy. I fought the big ugly turtle/bird cross critter and retrieved the part from its belly... wow... undamaged. It swallowed it whole. Good thing for Skywalker. I got up and ... saw a flash of stars? walked into a metal wall... cold gripped me a second ... the Jungle came back into view.

Disoriented... I returned the part to Skywalker. The corridors were whispering unintelligibly... unpleasantly. Excuse any spelling errorts... i am trying to get this all down in the datapad as i go. I got lost twice in the corridors... grrr. *whispering... shakes head to clear*

There archaeoligists around this temple. They were there before the Rebels arrive and decided to work in tandem. Now they need to be evacuated too. I was asked by Skywalker to head out and find their superior to get their team evacuated. That was an easy escort.

Then I arrived to be asked to go get some strange box Skywalker felt he needed to see. I felt dizzy and took some deep breaths. Why does this seem familiar? I can see he hears the whispering too. I hope whatever guides him is strong... i wish I had some guide, too. I went out to get the box. I fell off my swoop in the jungle! Dizzy... pain... dark... NO! What is going on? I fought another critter for the damnable box. Sand swept into my eyes... sand? AK!! Kimogilas! PERLEKS!!! I got hit hard. I hit the ground. The turtle-bird hit me again and ran with the box. A chill swept over me... through me... it was so dark... I fought to get rid of the confusion and disorientation. I got up ... and fell immediately as I was chained to the flat ship floor by throat slave collar... Coughing I opened my eyes to a jungle... What was i doing? Oh yeah... getting a box for Skywalker from a critter now running with it in its mouth. I took off after the critter and killed it. The box looked like the one Brem brought back. A cage... empty cage...Dark... unpleasnat. I didn't want to touch it. But i had to carry it back to Skywalker. CAGED! Ak.. no... I am FREE!!! With shaking hands I gave it too Skywalker.

I sat shivering.... He studied it. He didn't like the feel of it either. He said it belonged to someone name Kyp or maybe Exar Kun himself... I barely heard Skywalker over the noise in my head. He touched my shoulder and everything came clear and quiet again. He asked me if I could take the cage out to a tribesman who wanted it. He didn't want it near him anymore. I didn't want to touch it again. But this will get it far away from him and me. So I agreed.

Carrying it on my swoop... I made a miscalculation and crashed. I don't know how long I was out.

I woke... I was on a ship... cold and dark... behind bars in a small metal cage. I could feel it against my bare skin. Nothing with me but the collar on my neck and the chain holding me in place. Voices. I was stuck again and shove to the cold metal floor. I hate cages... I want to get out. NO.. Don't touch me!!! OFF! *SHRIEKING!! struggling... Darkness*

A tribesman took the cage from me... in a jungle. Where am I? That evil cage was something sacred to his people. Great... all for them! Oh yeah... deliver the box to the tribesmen... Skywalker... Yavin IV. I suddenly felt compelled to kill the tribeman with the box and it took all my will to walk away.

The box was gone. Far from me. But why did I still feel strange... it was hard to breathe. Exhausted I delivered the news to Skywalker and headed back to the starport to sit an write more in this journal... disjointed as it feels. I will read it over later maybe...

The darkness was trying to swallow me again... it was harder and harder to breathe... I can't breathe... too much sand... and blood... My comm won't work.... Why? Brem?

Blimey? Blimey?

Make them stop.... please... i don't want them touching me anymore.... please...

Blimey?

*darkness*

Gong adhesive

AHA! I then got a comm message from someone that he had a gong adhesive for me. Met up with him quickly to pick it up and then back to help Skywalker some more...

Eseefa

Oh my gods! Eseefa! He came on my comm and I nearly fell over with surprise! I haven't seen him since before Blimey and I left to come to this galaxy! He is doing well but will likely not stay in this galaxy. He has business elsewhere. He asked if I could say hello to Blimey for him and to say that he misses us both. He also wants to pass me his armor as he won't need it here anymore. Then... he was just gone! I will have to tell Blimey! I bet he really misses Eseefa. they were good friends.

Rebel Ground Missions: General Dadonna

Unsure what to do this evening...(early morning?) I headed to Yavin IV all buffed and ready for a fight. Lone-wolfing it again. Guess I will go meet General Dadonna and see what he needs of me. I traveled to the Temple of Exar Kun. The feelings there were very strange, a strong mix of light and dark energies. It made my head spin a bit. Exar Kun was a Dark Jedi... I wonder why he has a temple erected in his name... and why the Rebels were running a base of operations out of it. Maybe beacuse the Imperials already claimed the ancient Massassi Temple for themselves to strike a blow against Light Jedi? I was sure I had been here before... but I guess not. As I entered, I was awarded an exploration badge. I took a photo of the interior architecture. The place must be an archaeologist dream come true.

I met Gen. Dadonna. He is older than I thought... but wise and battle experienced. He informed me that since the destruction of the DeathStar, this base has been comprimised and that it is frequently being bombed and underseige by the Imperials. They are trying to evacuate all personel. He got word that some stormtroopers were attacking one of the evac ships and asked me to take care of it. I wiped out 3 troopers and the ship took off safely.

Upon return, an urgent message came that an informant team needed an escort throught the jungle. I hurries out to find only one man left. The Imperials had killed the others and he was wounded. I got him to base quickly. The information he carried were possible new location where the Rebels can set up another base. Gen. Dadonna analyzed the info and found a good planet. I won't say where here... just that its climate is OPPOSITE to Tattooine's. Way opposite. I asked me to run this to info disk to a pilot to get it to MonMothma. I raced out. Delivery successful. She took off as quick as possible... As I arrived to tell Gen. Dadonna... news came in that she got shot out of the sky. KARK!!! Stress was high in this place. Tensions taught. He made another disk and called in another pilot, asking me to deliver it again. This time a spoke a few words of blessing and protection over the disk before delivering it.

"May this information remain hidden from Imperial knowledge,

may its carrier be safe and invisible from Imperial scopes and fire,

may it and its carrier reach their destination as quick as the universe can allow.

May the Force be with them! So mote it be."

Success!! Delivered the disk and watched the pilot take off. Then returned to Gen. Dadonna. News there was that the pilot made a hyperjump safely! YAY! There was a great cheer around the folks dashing about preparing for evacuation. I felt like I was running with Neutron pixies in my system! It was almost dizzying. It was hard to keep my personal mental shields up to block everyone out. Their excitement, their fear... i was beginning to feel it all... like something was tearing down my defences! Gen. Dadonna asked me to go give Luke Skywalker a hand.

He is very young and inexperienced... but I can sense he has a strong guiding force with him. And yet this place almost swallows him up in the mix of Light and Dark Forces. Down in the basement of this temple were two huge... i mean HUGE crystals, one purple and one red... glowing and levitating on their own. The energy around them was both so powerful and so wrapped and enclosed in themselves... that i just could not get a sense of them properly. It made me nautious to be too close... like a physical blow to the head. SO I kept my distance and spoke with Skywalker.

Lone-wolfing with the nightmare

I dreamed of Lok.

I dreamed of when I fought for my freedom.

I dreamed of when I was so alone I knew not who was a friend and who was a foe.

I woke... shaking... the images still flashing in my mind. Oh how I hate that planet. The things they did to me... I ... I still cannot really speak of it. I thought it had passed. But ... ~sigh~

Now I am alone again.

Blimey is busy, and hopefully not still upset with me. Thoguh it was my fault for reacting without thinking and thus insulting a friend of his , though unintentionally.

And Brem is just not around when I am. Claimed by the Light or the Dark I do not know.

Whay have the nightmares returned?

Other surprises

Boy am I confused...

Well... A few days ago, Brem surprised me with e green crystal on the office desk. It looked good there so i left it there for the moment. Today, I went in to collect it and place it in the container of things that need to be cleansed before placing in the Ritual space. ANd in the office I discovered a black skirt. A nice simple one. Who left it? I have several people on admin... who left it and why?

I also prepared a room for Kimbrya in the hopes that somehow she will find her way to the temple some day.

Oh and that nagging starnge feeling... dual feeling. I get this intense negative feeling... Oh ueah... the cage. Brem acquired a cage full of really dark energy... like the Dark Side of the Force lives in its every fiber... It will need cleansing very very soon. I also got this feeling of a great shift... in Brem. I wasn't quite sure what... then I read his journal. He has been invited to the secret city for Force training. WOW! I am so proud of him! SO many doors are opening for him... so many possible paths... which will he walk?

Moving ...

I was moving stuff around the small storage house and decided to destroy the second yacht and take down the little house to see if I could build a small generic house near the temple. Kark... i did not have permission for anything larger that the little Nabooian hut. KARK!

So I went into the Temple to see what i was going to do... to calm and figure out what next. And ... I had the strangest feeling. This intense feeling of... something... and yet at the same time... something missing. AK! Brem moved out!

This is SO not my day so far. I completely freaked! First I managed to stick my foot in my mouth and piss off two people yesterday... including Blimey... and now Brem moved out. What have I done!?! What did I do this time?!?

With my packs overloaded... I decided to walk down the road a bit and plunk down the hut again and dump my stuff back in. LO! Lo and behold... there was Brem's house. I never new! Well I rebuilt the small house just past his... and filled it again. This all kinda feel surreal... especially after the fricken nightmare I had last night.

Yachts

Yes... you read that correctly. I have 2... TWO... yachts. The deed generator i was awarded with allowed me to create two for some reason. ANd I still have the deed generator and suspect I can get more yachts. But I do not have permissions to give either the yach or the deed generator to anyone.

I met up with Blimey early yesterday to test one out. He was almost as excited as I. As we arrived in Dantooine's Mining Outpost from his workshop in Wanders End, We ran right into a fight against a Dark Jedi... a powerful well-trained Dark Jedi. I had never seen one before and was compelled to help with the fight. I forgot to even put on my armour! I woke in the cloning facility and thought wounded, still hearing the fight outside, I pulled on my armour and my hammer and bolted out again... Blimey grabbed me aside before i could jump in and healed and buffed me while I struggled. He released me like a wild cat and I pounced in on the Dark Jedi again... there were like 10 or so of us trying to take him down. Blimey was doing his best to keep everyone healed and buffed and resurrected if need be. The Dark Jedi hit me with I don't know what and found Blimey over me... rez-ing me and healing me. By the time I was up again... the Dark Jedi had been taken down. Blimey healed and buffed folks as the rested now and destressed. Whew! That was exciting. Painful... but kinda fun and exciting.

We then went up in one of my yachts. WOW! It was way cool! It was just like Thrakazog's... only empty. Blimey took over piloting ... and moved the ship before I was ready... I nearly fell over. It was funny. He took it to a safe spot and we both explored the ship. It has a few rooms and deck and a bar! I dropped a few items in it for storage and will have to think about what to do with this mobile home I now have.

Then we landed and he ran off to work.

A Day of Discoveries!

First of all, yesterday I was awarded with a sorosuub yacht! But to have it I must first free up system lots. That means I need to have fewer housing. Me! Owning too much houseing! It is almost a ludicrous thought. I have the PA Hall for the Temple. I have a small 1-lot storage house temporarily set up near the Temple. And the Vendor house on Tattooine. Well, now I have HUGE insentive to really clear out that karking vendor. SO I went on massive waves of household destruction. There is something very satisfying about truly breaking things. Must be a woman thing.

A couple days ago, I had spotted Kimbrya in MosEisley with a man named Gethspara, according to my research. Brem was on the trail and assured me she was safe and learning a fighting skill. But then I was attacked and could not get back to her... I lost her trail. I entered his name on my contact list and made not to speak with him at a later time. Yesterday, I contacted him and arranged to meet him. He is Zabrak and from a guild called Dark Puppet Alliance (DPA). He is a Rebel, and a "businessman" like Dolch and Kaiyn. I wanted to find out if he was a potential danger to Kimbrya. The feeling I got off him was trustworthy... in the same way as Dolch and Kaiyn. He is deeply honourable and greatly compassionate deep down inside beyond the cold smuggler exterior armour. He is a city-boy, born and bred for sophisticated society. No wonder she connected with him... they speak the same language! Something about Kimbrya tugged a chord in him to want to protect her. Like Blimey and I in the beginning of my freedom. So now she has a few guardian angels. Good. She will be safe. And kark! He is teaching her to use a carbine! Big guns. Well, at least she will learn to defend herself a bit.

What I Learned at the Library

Kimbrya.

That is her name. Kimbrya Earthmoore. She is from a family of some wealth and has spent most of her life delving into books, datadisks and library archives. The Librarian had said that Kimbrya was apprenticed under her for the last 7 years or so. She also said that Kimbrya had a strong interest in Medicine and had just left a few days ago to apprentice under someone in Kadaara.

I hope Brem has more information or manages to reach/protect her.

More on the Discovery

Brem found her! Well sort of. He learned her name. She had heard it whispered to her... but is much skittish. I have an appointment with the Librarian in Theed, I will ask aboutthis girl there too.

Brem will try to hunt her up. You can see his journal titled Bizarre Turn of Events for how that went!

Krayts & Pahoo

Pahoo had never hunted krayt dragons before. I couldn't believe it! I hunted them three times already! This hunt will be my fourth as he invited me along. I am going to apply Brem's advice and try to track the krayts for Pahoo and his hunting party. Some of them I had met before on my first krayt hunt with Jakob.

I had some success... but mostly they found the krayts without me.

I got caught alone, tracking a krayt when two other lept over the jagged rock face and cornered me between them, giant sand beetles, squill and mad hermits! I sensed death at my heals! Brem arrived and so did the others to my rescue. Unfortuantely, later on I was trampked by a Canyon Krayt and found myself in the cloning centre.

Guess I take a break and heal. Maybe I will luck out and find that girl?

Discovery!

*This was supposed to posted a couple days ago... but I could not log in and upload since my last post.*

I went to Naboo in search of some info about the Temple and clerical order that my benefactor came from. Into Kaadara, the best I got from some locals was that most of the clergy left for a woodland enclave to escape Imperial persecution during the hunt for the jedi. The few who stayed were either killed or "vanished". The only survivor then was Fyrshka, my benefactor.

So, I went out in search of the temple in the woods. I found ruins... old abandoned ruins with whispering ghosts. But! But, there were fresh treacks! Analyzing these tracks I determined that is was likely a girl, lithe, fast, flexible, delicate... like an aritocrat by her gate and foot spacing... but obvuiosly not hunter or she would have seriously been more careful where and how she stepped. But nothing else... till I heard a whisper:

"Find her, protect her, she holds our knowledge."

WELL!! Now that was a discovery!!! And obviously she was in danger. Crap. Poodoo of the smelliest kind. Ok... so I tracked her as far as I could. She was being followed. Tracked into Kaadara and then out to Theed. All I found were a few bandages and a used stim. She must have some medic skills. and no sense of how to protect herself. Miraculous luck must be on her side. I lost her in Theed. I found her follower, though. Stupid spy. He thought he could make a buck by catching her instead of letting the bounty hunters get her. He said she was being hunter for the Empire... to be interrogated and then killed. That she knew something important. He lost her inTheed to when she boarded a shuttle. She was last seen wearing a novice medic uniform.

Damn. That describes ALOT of people. I asked Brem to help me fing her. I hope Brem is having better success than I at finding her.

Pendulum

The feelings of yesterday felt they were on a pendulum....

Pendulum Swing #1: Frustrated
Wow... started out heading for Coronet looking for a Doc, hoping for a buff to go hunting and train in sword. NO DOCS! There were absolutely no buff doctors in Coronet. NONE! AT one of the busiest times! Coronet was instead full of peoples clones barking advertizements for their ship vendors. So I headed back to Dantooine's Mining Outpost. None there either. I got a mind buff in the cantine there. I returned to Coronet for the medcentre to get the rest of my wound healed then decided to go to Peace Buff House... the free place Rhamses suggested to me. Anothy guy trying to find a buffer tagged along with me. But Pease Buff House was closed. No doc! OY!!! I sent Dr-Moreau in Trade Goods a ping... at least he was in! He is a bit more expensive (15k creds) but his buffs are incredible at 27oo+ for 3 hours.

Pendulum Swing #2: Guilty
Before leaving Trade Goods... i did a bit of shopping. Most things here are WAY overpriced... but sometimes you can luck out. I got a case of melee accuracy power-ups for my hammer. Picked up some furniture for the Temple (an office chair, 2 more ottomans for the crafting area, a blue streetlamp for the Blue Rugged Meditation Room). Then, *feeling a bit guilty*, I bought some clothes for me. I was in a real blue mood.... I bought a set of blue bangles to replace the metal ones that just recently fell apart on me and a blue striped bracelt that matches my nechlace. Then I got a few new vests... i really felt like i needed some style variety. I got a long simple vest (in a dark ish blue that is all layered and pleated... but not fancy), a medium blue belted vest (very simple and plain... I like it best) and a decorative blue vest with front white shoulder sashes and a wide belt... I really need either blue or white pants/skirt to wear this. The price was 5000 total for all 3 pieces! So this was a good deal.

Pendulum Swing #3-4: Mid-Life Crisis & Bored and Lonely
Off to Yavin I went to hunt critters on the beach. While I hunted I thought about my professions. I feel like I am having a midlife crisis! I want to drop fencing. I want to take up sword... but polearms is looking real interesting at the moment. I am discovering how absolutely useless Ranger is and so might drop some/all of that... Now that I have handled a few pets... I am discovering I really kinda like them... and so maybe might take up creature handling. I don't know. I was then growing very bored ( and lonely) with the beach critters.... (but I didn't feel like going out to meet new people).

Pendulum Swing #5: Um... Intimate?
BREM! Yay... Brem came on the comm.
I met him at the Temple. OY! He needed healing. I healed him... that took a LONG time as I my skills are very limited. I placed the furniture, ncluding the blue streetlamp. But the lamp was out. Perturbed... I thought, well, maybe it is on a timer and goes on only at night. Ok. Not going to sleep now matter how tired till night comes and I see if the light goes on! Finished healing Brem and gave him my gift. I had gotten him a lovely ruddy red female dewback. She is very pretty. I had kept her so secret while she grew and the Creature Handler I bought her from trained her. I had her trained to the name Ceandana, which means willful. Because she was! When I first bought her, she bolted off across Cornet fast and far after some guy and refused to come back. SHe is a very willful creature. She was trained as a mount the day before and is a bit more reliable... though still willful. Hehe. Now Brem and I can go riding together! And we did! ALL AROUND THE TEMPLE ROOF!!! Weehee! That was lots of fun! I am glad the Temple structure is VERY sturdy!!! This occupied the time nicely till nightfall.

As i double checked the chair in the office, Bremm hollered that the light was on! I bolted upstairs to the Blue Room. WOW! It was awesome! Flopped on the rug, equally as soft as the orange one.... and the blue hues int he room were ... so peaceful, inducing such calm. We sat in silence for so long. Feeling very comfortable and... wanting somewhat to get closer to Brem... I... I did. I layed my head on his shoulder. I was not exactly nervouse. I know he would never hurt me or do as has been done to me. I think I was feeling very... shy. I leaned into his shoulder a bit more and put one arm around his back... he held my other hand. It was so comfortable. Closing me eyes, I curled into his lap. "Was I too bold?" I thought. Just as I was about to move, he every so gently wraped his arms around me. I almost cried. I did not know how badly i needed to be held... to feel the ... comforting touch of another. It hit me hard and drove me into silence. If I cried, Brem would think he did something wrong.. when... really, he did something so very very ... right. We sat there just ... holding each other for a time. I thought of a ... haiku?

We two

Of fire and ice

Rendered like water

At peace

In a blue room

I almost wish we could have satyed there forever.

Pendulum Swing #6: Surpirsed Annoyance

Unfortunately we couldn't. We had a visiter tot he Temple. A guy I had agreed to seel an armor attachment I had found in the Aa'kuan caves. Mood broken, We went to greet him. Had I known in advance he was an overt Imperial... I would not have agreed to sell anything to him. But, I did... and i am true to my word. Also, this Temple is open to all who might have the need for peace of mind. I earned 225k creds for the attachment.

He pressured Brem into a duel... I forbade them to duel in the Temple... in fact forbade them to duel within 500m of the Temple. Brem didn't want to... but finally gave in. This guys loss! Brem wasted him very quickly! But honourably did not deal a deathblow.

Now tired and annoyed... i went back to flop and sleep on the blue carpet. Danw broke... and the light went out. I slept... brem was still busy talking with this guy...

Hunting with Pahoo

Well this was different... alomost a treat! I went hunting with Pahoo yesterday. As I have mentioned before... he is a Force Sensitive Bounty Hunter. He tends to shoot first and ask questions later. He, according to both Blimey and Fyrshka can be a sensitive and caring guy... who knows. He doesn't talk much... actions seem to speak more for him. He shields himself carefully so no one really knows what is going on inside in mind nor his heart. Hmmm... interesting fello.

Anyways, we went hunting. First we hunted critters and Mokks on Dantooine. He is very... trigger-happy! When I got overwhelmed but huurtons, Mokks and voritors, he pounced in to save me from death. Good thing... because that almost was the next hit! He claimed I needed to be "more proactive". What is THAT supposed to mean?!?! Geez and just 10min before hooking up with him Kaiyn said something similar.

After some hunting like that... he asked if I would like to join him on a bounty hunt. SURE! I wanted to see what it was like from his point of view.... what it is to do that job, especially since Brem is a Bounty Hunter. First it starts with a planetary hunt with a droid who gets a DNA signature to help the seeker droids track down the bounty. I was hoping my tracking skills would come in handy. We went from Karen, Naboo, to Kaadara, Naboo... for info and the planet searching droid. Then off to Dantooine for more clues. This was really interesting... like a game of clue, mystery and cat & mouse all rolled into one! We tracked his bounty from the Mining outpost up through Iberia City, where we almost lost him. Then to Agro Pirate Outpost and south to an un-named village where he was trying to hide. Pahoo's seeker droids track fast! My skills... were utterly useless. In the end , there was a fight... and we got the bounty. So, cat & mouse with a punch and a good payout! I can see why Brem likes his job... it is fun, challenging, interesting!

Then we took to the stars to hunt in space. Pahoo took me up in his Y-wing as his gunner. I have never been in this spot before. WOW! the view from there is absolutle incredible! The shot range allows me to shoot things coming from behind! However, enemis above or below certain points are safe from the gunnery shots. It was hard to be in this spot because I could not control where we flew and often lost the aim or a potentially good shot. I also suffered from vertigo fast! And had a terrible case of motion sickness. I was hard-pressed not to puke in his gunnery! As we pulled into the landing station, he had to show off a bit by "parallel parking" the ship ... hehe... got some great pictures... but was REALLY glad to land! So glad that I kissed the gound. Pahoo crumpled to the floor in laughter. he has no idea about my discomfort in space! I guess it was funny, though.

He invited me up to fly wingman. I had to decline... still too nautious. I prefer all four paws planet-side thanks! So we parted ways.

Fever... Fight... and the Cuteness of Being

I know, I know... odd title.

Well the wee hours of the morning went as follows...

I searched for ritual info in Theed with no success. I will have to really scour Fyrshka's belongings for insight. I got buffed and considered going to Yavin then thought, HEY, Janta have crystals and need to be cleaned out of a cave anyways... so Off to Dantooine!

Pahoo came on my comm all excited. The contageous fever of space flight actually caught him! I thought he had escaped. ah well... I am sure he will enjoy space fighting. I shared my knowledge (minimal as it was) about Rebel starships with him as I traveled to Dantooine.

I poked into the Temple to discover Brem curled up on the orange carpet with the Dancing Bantha. At first I smiled at how peaceful he looked... then noticed his wounds! IKES! What happened! I dashed out to get Pips, my little med-mouse droid and healed him with all my minimal skills. He must have been so tired... he never woke... poor guy. I could not help afterwards to caress his brow and touch my lips to his cheek, hoping he would not notice nor mind.

Then I dashed off to hunt Janta. I wondered if it was a good idea... I had never hunted them before. Well... NOPE. It was a BAD bad idea. That fight was veru shortlived. I actaully never made it into the cave. I was jumped by six Janta at the entrance. I killed 2 before I fell. I woke in the cloning centre... ug... hurt... tired... ug... Yavin IS where I should have gone...

Back to the Temple... I found Brem still asleep on the carpet. *smile* I curled up next to him....
As I drifted, I gently slip my hand into his...

Brem & the Bantha

*SMILE*

Guess what I woke to on the Orange carpet? Brem had gotten the Dancing Bantha Nightmare Ward from my bedroom and set it by me while I slept. I woke to it and his wishes of a good sleep.

*feeling kinda emotional today*

Did a bit of running to my vendor... but returned to sit with the bantha on the carpet. Oh, I so need a carpet in my bedroom for me and the kittens.

My research has been both helpful and not. I wanted to find a suitable ritual of dedication for from the temple I studied in or the Order that Fyrshka and I are part of... but it seems that all records have been lost or destroyed. I have been trying to go through the scraps of notes I have from Fyrshka and the bits of memories I have of my past. I have lots of pieces... but they just don't fit together.
:-(
*sigh* All my meditations have revealed to me is to meat other goals till the time is right for me to be able to ~listen~ more clearly to the guidance at hand. *sigh* And I remind myself that patience was never a good Zabrak quality. We Zabrak are passionate and very impatient people. This takes more self-discipline.

Fine. I will go practice swords on Yavin again then return to meditate with the Bantha on the rug. Brem is so sweet. Have I said this before? *Wants to cuddle him like I cuddle the kittens... but ... that may be closer than either of us are prepared for....*

Oh... i need crystals for the ritual room. Hmm... ok. Maybe I will go hunt in the Janta caves or the Crystal caves...

Day of Quiet Meditation

The past few days have been very very busy. Today... today I will meditate in the Temple and do some research. Time for a quiet day. I have a private counselling session at 2pm via vid-link... but that should take only an hour or so. I plan on getting to bed early this evening, too. I think i need a few days of just relax time.

Wingman Kaiyn

I decided to drop into MosEisley on Tattooine. I kinda miss it sometimes. I needed healing of mind and body after all those karking bats. As I passed the starport, I overheard someone barking out that he offers his services as a wingman. Hmmm... Usually Brem or Blimey are my wingmen... or Dolch. But sometimes they are not around. I am not fond of space fighting either. Well... to keep in mind.

I sat in the Cantina to rid myself of my battle fatigue. Sipping tea and tipping the entertainers. Kaiyn came in. He is quite the shameless flirt. I poked into his bio. He is a smuggler. His flirtatious charms however do not work on me... even though he tried. He ought to read my bio my thoroughly. I went to the med centre to heal my scrapes and consider my evenings plans. Hunt for more Sword experience of Yavin? Do my ground missions on Yavin? Ug... need a break from Yavin.

Fine... I will do some of my space missions. So I contacted this wingman-for-hire. Time to see how good this stranger is... and if he is as good as he boasts he is. He agreed to work for a cut of the loot. So off to Lok *shiver*... still hate the planet. I got a mission from Lady Viopa. Kaiyn was surprised I was a rebel pilot. He is a neutral pilot regardless of personal faction choice.... a smuggler at heart. We cut apart the mission and I got the info off the disabled shuttle. Hm... is is good as a wingman. I on the otherhand SUCK as a pilot. My reactions are slow, inaccurate and i get frustrated with all the damned controls. When we landed for me to give the findings to Lady Viopa, he crafted a couple ship components to help me survive better. So he is a shipwrite too. He spoke shop to me to explain the parts he was giving me. Foreign untranslatable language as far as I was concerned. Oh well... but the psrt fit in my ship. I had to trust that they were better. Lady Viopa gave me a serial mission to help Nym steal ships from the Imperials. Afetr and hour or 2 of that... I had it with space fighting. I was so fed up, I forgot to report to Lady Viopa! DOH!

Well, I offered to show Kaiyn the Temple. We arrived and I gave him a tour. I introduced Brem and Kaiyn to each other. I think Kaiyn's shamelss behavior set Brem into caution mode.... not for his own safety but for mine. Brem went back to his room to sort his things. I continured the tour. At one moment, Kaiyn made a comment, that was easily misinterpretable... or a few... I wasn't paying attention to his flirtations or anything of that sort. But Brem was right at my door in case he needed to protect me from Kaiyn's potential "advances". Nothing of the sort thankfully. But it was nice to know Brem was ready to protect me. *smile* My knight in matt black armor. (can't me in shining armor... cuz he wears matt black armor) Kaiyn stayed a bit to watch the sunset and see the stars. I went to chat with Brem.

After Kaiyn left... (excited that the stars move and needed to see if they did on Tattooine too), Brem and I flopped on the orange plush carpet. I wrapped myself in my soft hooded cloak that Blimey got me. Brem made "carpet angels"... hehe... it is funny to see him actine the kid. We giggled and rolled on the carpet! But the day had been so very long for me... I was too tired to keep chatting. I curled up like a kitten in a blanket on the carpet... and Brem wished me sweet dreams... and nightmares kept at bay. He is so very sweet to me.

BodyGuard for Blimey

Blimey then tagged me on the comm asking if I could be his bodyguard for checking harvesters and surveying. I met up with him. He was not very talkative as he focused on surveying and sampling. At first it was LONG... and TEDIOUS... but better protection than not having it and being attacked.

Then came Yavin IV...Bats... and rain. And more bats... and more bats... AND MORE BATS! We enlisted the help of a passerby named Chuck. There were so many bats!!! And they just kept coming! It was close... real close for all of us. But in the end, the bats were eradicated and Blimey was able to drop down a few harvesters. Karking bats!

New Arrival

Dolch contacted me and asked me to help out a new arrival to the galaxy. Dolch's Basic was not doing well today.... The new guy wasn't understanding. His name is Mageri. I directed him to do the missions from his helper droid ... once he figured out how to use the comm-link. He was still having comm difficulties... but seemed ok. I told him he can contact me anytime.

Neighbors: Buff-Daddy & Dietired

While sitting in the Coronet starport, I spotted someone who caught my interest. I was catching names and poking into bios... since there was more advertizing than news going on once folks woke up. ANd this guy's bio identified him as one on my neighbors.

His name is Buff-Daddy. He is a member of Wander End... a city near the Temple. His guild is Wnaders End Brigade. NEWS! Wanders End used to have 3 guilds (Hope, AFK: Adventurers For Kash, Watchmen). Now they have only one: WEB: Wanders End Brigade. Buff-Daddy and I chatted about the space fever and how major hunting grounds that used to be packed went empty and unhunted , but are now slowly starting to find hunters in them again. So perhaps the fever is breaking. He called in a friend of his who wanted to go hunting for some practice and agreed to buff us to go.

That friend was Dietired. Dietired is a battlemaster and a member of WEB. We got buffed by Buff-Daddy (who was going to stay in Coronet to buff others) and we headed out to Talus to hunt Aa'kuan Warriors. Dietired showed me how to access my ship for starport shuttling to save money and time. WOW! That IS handy! On Talus, the Aa'kuans were supposed to be tougher than Dantooine Mokks... but they weren't. We cleared out the cave rather quickly. Dietired then showed me how to make some macros to help with my fighting and taught me some new techniques. No more Aa'kuans were going to show up anytime soon. So, I took him to Yavin and showed him how I earn experience hunting the beach critters. Hunting buddies! We had a blast! I so miss hunting like this with Blimey.

Up Too Early

I was WAY too early yesterday morning. No one and I mean NO ONE was around ... the towns were like ghost towns... even Coronet and Theed! I took to the Temple for a bit to place a couple plants and move some heavy furniture . Then dropped a bunch of components off at Blimey's.

I decided after an hour to head to Coronet and listen to the news and advertizing in the starport. I meditated... and listened. There was a guy there selling ships and components cheaper than anyone else. Like stupid cheap! I think they fell off the back of a transport freighter. His prices are impossible low.

With the space lanes now open, it seems like a fever has gripped people and they are all taking to the stars. So few stay planetside anymore. It is getting harder and harder to find crafters, bio-engineers, tailors, artisans and docs. What is a hunter/ranger lik me to do. I have a starship... but most of my life is planetside. The fever has not gripped me.

Dream?

I had a dream last night / early this morning? I dreamed that Blimey had come to visit the Temple. He was standing on the roof under the stars. I stood close beside him. I reached over to take his hand and lace my fingers with his... and he just ... faded away... like a ghost.

What does that mean?

Busy Busy Day Yesterday

I really need to revise my goals. I attempted to do so in the early part of the day... but then completed them by the end of the day....

I got a second invite from Telion to join Midnight Mauraders. I extended my gratitude... but turned them down. I am now fairly established on Dantooine near Azrith.

I went to Yavin to practice sword fighting against critters on the beach like Blimey had taught me. And gains much experience... enough to earn some training. Brem came out to help me a bit as I ran into a "stranded Imperial camp" with several confused officers and a squad of stormtroopers. Brem and I made short work of them! I don't normally just attack Imperials without provokation... but I was in a mood... which was much eased by eliminating them.

We hyperjumped to Dantooine. As I landed, Brem's ship was attacked! He and his ship took some damage! I stressed... he told me not to worry, that he would meet me in Strongbadia after he healed his mind some. So I went and trained 2 new skills in Sword by the Swordman Trainer in Wanders End.

Drakka's call was getting strong and urgent now. The dark Force wileder must be near her. I met Brem in Strongbadia and we quickly made our way to the Jedi Temple Ruins to see Drakka. She was still safe. She told me how Luthik (the guy at the edge of the temple grounds was tempting and training people in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force and managed to train several Dantari warriors and hook them up with a Dark Force Crystal Hunter to guide them as a task force for the Imperials. Low. Dirty. She ask me to deal with this. She warned me to bring help that they are very dangerous. Well, so is Brem and his gun and me and my sword.

It grew dark outside as we approached. We parked our bike 150m from target location... AND WERE SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY THEM!!! They were fast! A troop of Rebels were there to help. But the warriors were too fast. And the Crystla Hunter threw form Force thing that was electric and mind numbing and painful! We both woke in the cloning facility in Strongbadia. Mission incomplete. We were decimated. Brem was too exhausted to continue. I called in for help.

I called Dolch. I rode all the way to Mining Outpost to heal mind and body... and Saladrim buffed me and a few other members of WIKAN. We were 4 heading back to the Jedi Temple Ruins. Inwe, she was not as skilled as Dolch or Saladrim in battle... but more skilled than I was. I was now concerned that even 4 would not be enough. It almost wasn't... but we were successful! THANK YOU DOLCH AND WIKAN!!! They then went off to hunt. I returned to Drakka with the news.

She awarded me honours from the Rebel Alliance and an artifact she said may one day help me. A holocron. Just like Fyrshka's. It also hummed at me. I returned to my Temple to place Fyrshka's in her honorarium. The humming and whispering of mine... doesn't bother me now... I am not so scared of what it means.

I met with the guy who had a Blue Rug Adhesive. Paid him 500k creds for it. Ouch. But at least I have it. I autoloomed the Blue Rug and placed it in one of the meditation rooms. YAY! Hmmm... time to go get some more furnishings to try to finish some of the decor in the Temple. As I approached the city of Eden, I spooted an odd sight. There was the wreckage of an ATAT in the water! Wow... odd. Neat... but odd. Oh... and DAMN it is amazing how much people can pack into a small vending tent!!!!! I picked up a few things andheaded back to decorate. I then made a quick run to Coronet on Corellia to get the Orange Rug Loom and back to autoloom the Orange Rug and place it (with a warm torch) in the other meditation room. WooHoo! the Temple is almost done!

So I sat to meditate and revise my goals:

• Get Gong Adhesive
• Get 2-3 more rugs (lounge, bedroom)
• Master Sword
• Rebel Ground Missions on Yavin
• Get 1 blue and 3 green crystals
• Research the dedication ritual for clergy in my path and perform the rite
• Plan a Temple Event
• Tier 2 Piloting skills

Nightmare... and cleanup

I woke late yesterday at the Rebel Base Ruins on Dantooine. I was befuddled and confused by my chaotic surroundings. I woke from a nightmare of being on Lok in the Imperial prison again... waiting for my ex-slavemaster to come and interrogate me. *shiver* From now on... I sleep in the Temple... an no where else!

No one I know was around... so I guess I was to lonewolf for the evening. I decided to head out to my vendor and do a clean-up. I sent Brem 100k creds to help him out to get a new ship as I know he has just joined the Privateers for pilot training. I have Blimey to trade goods for ships with... Blimey takes good care of me even if he isn't around much. Brem doesn't have anyone but me. So I try to help him out when I can... and he helps me with ground stuff (which would normally get me killed without a partner).

Someone contacted me today who has a Blue Rug Adhesive! YAY! I am just waiting now to make arrangements for buy it.

At my vendor, I grabbed a bunch of stuff that was not selling and the rest of the drugs that sell well elsewhere. I decided to try to sell the stuff on the Tattooine Bazarre and take the drugs to Mining Outpost of Dantooine. I also dropped a few ship comonents onto Blimey's vendor and bought from him a couple better ones for my ship. The old Vendor house is slowly getting cleaned up. Some things I dumped into the little storage house near the Temple. I finally changed my banking over to this planet from Tattooine. At the Temple, I placed my Rebel flag that I earned in my Bedroom. The kittens immediately climbed it! *grin*

I flopped on my new small bed and looked over to the kittens to smile. There, with the kittens bouncing around it, was the Bantha Nightmare Ward that Brem left me. This will be a better sleep. Thank you Brem!

Dantooine Rebel Ground Missions

I updated my Bio while I waited to meet up with Brem. Yay... I get company again!

I reported for duty to Mon Mothma, beffed this time. The missions were mostly delivery and retrieval with a couple... "get this by whatever means"... which meant kill the Imperials that have it, claim it from their cooling corpse and bring it back to us. Brem enjoyed these ones. I wonder if he will ever do the ground missions?

On our way back from one mission, we discoverd a row (path?) of stome arches. I followed through them... but the ledt to nothing. Hm! Bizarre. Dantooine always has bit of interesting left behind archaeological finds.

When I was done my ground missions, I earned a promotion. I am now a Sergeant!

I was also completely exhaused. It took me 15min to roam the messy semi-abandoned base to find a bed.

I look forward to some quality time spent sitting on the roof of the Temple with Brem.

Rebel Ground Missions

Princess Leia had sent me to Lok to help out Han Solo.Brem was still not well enough to be released from the cloning at the poor quality Imperial Base. So... I lone-wolfed these... as quickly as I could to get my ass off this horrid planet as fast as possible. First I did some errands for Nien Nunb... who was watching over Han Solo's Millenium Falcon. Then I helped Solo establish relations with the Lokian Pirate Nym. He is protecting Lady Viopa now for the Rebel Piloting missions. I almost died in my last mission as the delivery I was making was attacked by raiders and my buffs were running out! IKES! Thankfully... I survived. Met Brem at Nym's Stronghold on my rutern.

He looked not too bad. An acquainyance, Telion, Took him to the cantina for some social recoup and mind healing while I dealt with a comm message and counselling. (wow... haven't even done the ritual to dedicate myself as priestess... and already I have to fill that roll.

I managed to reach Saladrim. He agreed to heal Brem. He is a trusted doc (who is more available at the moment that Blimey). We met him in Mos Eisley where I traded him the Herb Meat I had. Unfortunately, the quality had changed last night and the meats are very poor all over the galaxy at the moment.

I learned some new words from Saladrim in Spanish:

Buenas tardes = good afternoon
Buesas noches = good evening/night
Buenos dias = good day

My hunting for Blue Rug Adhesive is still not going well. Brem and Telion parted from me then... to run some of their own errands.

Later last night, I got a message from Solo that I was to report to Ackbar on Dantooine. Guess I will be lone-wolfing it again... except... Rhamses tagged my comm and reminded me he had something for me. I told him I was heading to the Rebel Base Ruins on Dantooine. I landed in Brethren City and set up my waypoint. Off I went... for miles... and miles... and miles... passing 2 cities... CRAP! I went the wrong way!!! Ug... Shuttled BACK to Brethren City where I met up with Rhamses who was wondering where I was. Ug....

Rhamses gave me two little white kittens... named after my daughters. THAT made my day and then some!!! They are SOOOOooOOOoo cute! THANK YOU!!!!! They will go into my bedroom in the Temple.

At the Rebel Base... it really did look like ruins. Rhamses came to keep me company. So... I didn't have to lone-wolf after all! And good thing too! There werer a few unpleasant surprises! I was glad to have the extra help. As we returned from one mission, we came across an armorsmith specialist in a hermit hut. He teaches armorsmiths about RIS armor smithing. He was very rude to me. But then I am not an armorsmith. Ackbar then asked me to see MonMothma. But my buffs expired. She told me to return in a couple days.

So... I took the kittens to Temple and curled up with them. *smile* Anya and Kitahn... what better way to honour you, my beloved daughters, then with lives of creatures you adored!

Disorganized AND Stupid

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The Imperial Base on Lok was so disorganized. They didn't know what to do with me. So, they shipped me to their Imperial / CorSec Operative for questioning in Coronet. Here is where is gets good... Remember when I did those missions for Borvo the Hutt to get Huff Darklighter's gun back? For Borvo I had to impersonate an undercover CorSec operative. And the CorSec who was supposed to interrogate me remembered me as that agent and told off the Imperial officer for wasting his time by apprehending a CoSec undercover agent!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

So I am free again and unscathed.

*chorlte... snicker*

Lok 2: catastrophe

We went to see Brem's old town... but never made it. We were attacked and outnumbered. Brem took a bad blow to the head! It was all I could do to grab him and run! The nearest cloning facility was the Imperial Base... no choice. Brem was near dead and I could not resurrect with my level one First Aid. I know there is a secret Rebel spy among the docs there... I saw her when we left.

Wounded, exhausted... She was thankfully there. She took Brem in and right into surgery. She explained that they do not have full facilities here and that as soon as he can move on his own, he will need to go to a proper hospital. I was only allowed to stay with him for a bit. I left him a message in his email. was then escorted to a place to sleep.

Brem will be safe.

I... was not. As I passed an officer, he spotted my Rebel Alliance ring. DAMN... an observant officer! The stormtroopers jumped me and dragged me off. Now I sit in a barbed electric prison. I have no ide which planet... Lok likely. They took a picture of me in their prison... and another...

I don't know what will befall me. They have not noticed my small datapad journal... nor realized I can uplink with it. The micro comm from the Rebels I have also went unnoticed... but on Lok that connection is terrible...

I pray I can be heard.

Lok 1 : POIs

We arrived on Lok. I shivered... despite the intense heat of the day. Thank Gods Brem was with me. I would have gotten back on my ship and left otherwise. I wanted to be brave. The past cannot hurt me. *the bad feeling still lingered in the back of my mind... but with no idea as to what*

We grabbed a shuttle to Sentinal City and biked toward the Great Kimogila Skeleton. Across empty parched earth... in a desolate area... before our destination... we came across a giant stone maze! Curiosity overcame fear and we explored it! I love mazes. At the centre was a clear fountain and sitting benches. It was ... peaceful here. The nasty feelings about the planet seemed to not exist here by this beautiful fountain. Before testing the water... Brem dipped his hand in and tasted it! But both he and the water was fine after I did a diagnosis. We filled out canteens here and headed out to the skeleton. Before leaving, or rather weaving our way through the maze to get our, I checked my datapad map... this was a POI, not one with a badge... but a POI just the same.

The skeleton was impressive. Not as much so as the Krayt skeleton... but still impressive. I got some pictures and obtained my badge for exploring it. As I was noticing that this kimogils died on its back with its legs up... my datapad beeped at me. I was awarded another badge! One for being a Skilled Explorere with 30 exploration badges. These badges always catch me by surprise! I don't count how many I have! I just explore for the interest of it!

Next POI: Mount Chaolt... The plains near this POI were while like snow and shimmered in the darkening sky. I stopped to test and taste the dirt... salt and calcium... explains why it was so white. I encountered a deep crater with smooth green water in it. I take it back... acid of some sort. Brem dipped his hand in for proof and watched the liquid bubble over his gloved finger. Sometimes he stresses me! We camped on the while sand. He was shocked by the size of my field base. *grin* The night was icy... ner freezing... but the fieldbase kept us both safe and warm. The days and nights are short on Lok compared to other planets.

Mount Chaolt turned out to be a volcano with lava bubbling, cooling, hissing steam... We grabben our badges along the rim of the greatest volcanic crater. And noticed that creature lived in the crater! AND that there were Imperials in special suits collecting samples.

As the noon heat fried us in our armor, we were chased by a blistering sandstorm almost all the way to the last badge-giving POI... The Imperial Outpost. It left us at the edge of a great sea. The Outpost was on the other side of the sea. Hesitant... but determined... (we were not overt anyways... and just being explorers) we headed out to the Outpost. It was no Outpost! It was a huge Base! Though not huge enough to have a shuttle port. MAany folks there were researched and non-military. Only a few officers and stormtroopers milled about. It is an explorers POI after all. And what a way to entice people to their cause by offering a safe place and good care!

Hunting Prep

I figured I was going to be Lone-Wolfinf all last night. Rhamses gave me a waypoit to a free buff house, since no doctors were anywhere to be found. I thought it was inside the city walls. Silly me. I walked all through the HUGE matropolis of Coronet and out the other side to realize that is was not. I had to dodge CorSec too. I do not trust them.

When I first entered... i questioned my sanity on this... it was full of Imperials. But the Doctor and entertainer were neutral and open to buffing anyone who was not overt. As I watched the woman entertaining us (Law'Charmer, a Twi'lek), more people arrived... Alliance folks. ("pain sees no faction, so neither shoul healing it"). We all stood together respectfully. I tipped both the doctor (Law'Keeper, a Wookie) and the entertainer.

Feeling a bit brave... I decided I wanted to face Lok... not for too long... just to POI hunt. Loading my new Y-Wing proved a bit difficult... so I named it the Insolent Minx. It has two active weapons and two sets of missiles. Except I could only load in one set as my reactor could not handle the overload. I bought two missile launchers to go with the packs of missiled that Blimey also gave to me.

Then met up with Brem who was feeling MUCH better. I was still a bit worried about him. I did not want this trip to be too taxing on him. He assured me he was fine. We were only going POI Hunting. *I still had a bad feeling about this for him*

Temple Visit

My hunt for Blue Rug Adhesive is becoming frustrating. And I was having technical difficulties so flying about was way out of the question. Thinking that the day would be like this, I was pleasantly surprised to be contacted by Dolch who asked to come visit the Temple.

Usually he acts all tough... he is my superior officer, my hunt leader, the "don't get too friendly, I am a criminal"... I remember the great interest he showed when I told him part of my story, so he could understand why I have such difficulty being on Lok. Today he was... still somewhat stand-off-ish... but more friendly than usual. He wears his masks like a protective shield... as if knowing him will hurt us. Furshka knew him... knew him well ("too well" he would say). I have noted in her journal scraps that she regarded him as sensitive, loving, gentle. I know him to be caring and compassionate... concerned with everyone he encounters. Yesterday he had to run off to help someone. He is always doing this. Helping others. Today he had a bit of a break, so he visited the Temple.

He came in and before I could give him a tour... he went right for the area I had dedicated to Fyrshka. Will his heart ever heal? They loved each other well. I think he shields himself because of her loss too. He tells me to socialize... to open up and live a little... I think he needs to hear his own words. And I do not mean that in any rough way... just that I am concerned for him.

After the tour, we sat on the roof and I told him the rest of my story. As it started to rain, I sat close to him and wrapped my cloak about us both. He smiled and thanked me. he wanted to stay out and see the stars. I think he needed compassionate contact. He is so used to being needed that no one seems to notice... that sometimes he is in need.

Dolch, I am here. If you ever want someone to talk to.... By the way, I told you my story, Now it is your turn. I want to hear yours. (especially since I cannot read Spanish and that is what your bio is written in).

Afterwards, he parted to do some work in space.

Blimey was "playing" in space. That is the best way to descrbe it. He just has WAY too much fun up there... even when he is blown to pieces and has to eject! When the technical difficulties subside, I hope to go flying with him. He gave me a gift of a new Y-Wing LongProbe , the upgrade to the ship classes I can fly.

Brem Released from Hospital!

The Rebel Doctors released Brem from Hospital last night in the city of Tyrena on Corellia where his ship was being repaired. I bombarded his comm! I was so happy to see him! He looked tired but in good spirits. The doctors recommended released... but down-time. Nothing too stressful or overactive.... while his head and chest continue to heal. They warn that he is like to have relapses and that the infections will likely recur if he is not careful. So...

I met him in Tyrena and took him up in my ship for a pleasure ride! He went and saw the Corellian space and then the Dantooine space. Unpon landing... he complimented my "new look". Dolch had given me some lighter Ubese armor (pants and boots and gloves) and some awesome swords (his old ones). I was wearing the pants and boots with my black tank-top and the new dusty blue cargo vest I bought. The skirt was in dire need of repair... grumble. But he thought I looked like:

"I kick ass and I know it"

*Smile* I don't really kick ass... not yet... But it definately feels good to know someone thinks I look great. *blush*

I got my training in Sword in Wanders End on Dantooine and took Brem over to the Temple. This was fun! I had him explore the whole Temple to find all the changes I did! It was like opening presents! Weehee.

He also passed me his stock of Herb meat to give to Saladrim. Oh good. I still have to hunt more. And now that I have training in Sword... I might be able to hunt better. I also have to poke into resource vendor and see if I spot and HQ (High Quality) Lookian Wild Wheat. Poor Saladrim can't make buffs without these 2 things.

This was all enough excitement for one evening for Brem. He needed to get some sleep. So this time I sat with him till he was asleep. Usually he sits with me... this time it was the other way around. While he slept, I also quietly repaired my black skirt.

Temple Dream

I was sitting at the Nook Shrine meditating when I had a dream. The dream took place at a time when the whole Temple was finished. It was an event that the Temple was hosting. A Storytelling event! Hmmm... I wonder.... Would anyone actually WANT to come to an event like that?

Hunting till it hurt

Pahoo was around on the comm... sorta. I tried to hook up and hunt with him, but he first had to do a Force mission. I don't quite know what that means. I know he is a Bounty Hunter. Maybe he had to hunt someone stong in the Force? He had a small team to help with his mission. I could not. I was far from skilled enough to of any help. It did not go well at all. They were decimated to the last man and found themselves all in the cloning facility. It sorely soured him social mood. Pahoo is an intense sort of hunter with a very tough outer set of armor. I wonder how Fyrshka managed to reach beyond?

I went hunting with Dolch instead. No... I did not forget that I was supposed to continue a story for him... but we just did not stop long enough to do so. We met up with a friend of his named Boniato. I will learn some more Spanish as Boniato speaks little Basic. We traveled to Endor and hunted Jinda in a cave. These critters look like crazed and rabid ewoks. The experience was awesome! I am now ready for Novice Sword training! Yay! Another goal reached. Starting to ache a bit though. Yes... that shoulder strain from the ... well it aches. We traveled to Mining Outpost on Dantooine to see Saladrim. I gave him the almost 3000 herb meats I had for free with huge apologies. He is currently out of buff packs now and cannot buff people. Oy. Dolch had an emergency and had to run out and meet a friend in need. Wow... he is busy! I was glad for the time to hunt with him. I got instead to chat with Saladrim. He is a very getle kind of guy. I am also learning that Spanish customs are very "hands-on" (hugs, kisses on hands and cheeks) and was thus taken aback when he kissed my cheek as a thanks for the hunted meats. He was confused my my reaction. I explained that I am not used to such social closeness. He read my bio to get some background and apologized profusely to me. It was ok. He had no ill intentions by the gesture. I told him I feel I can trust him well and that it was allright, that he only startled me.

Having rested some, Blimey met me in Mining Outpost for some more hunting. I first introduced Blimey and Saladrim and they exchanged doctor news and info. Then Blimey practically dragged me up into space before I knew it! He is so excited by his space endeavors... even when he is blown out of the stars and has to eject! Heehee. We flew and hunted in Dantooine space for a bit. When I started to ache too much to continue, I realized I could get some training in Piloting skills. Wow... I am on a roll!

Ikes....

It means I am reaching that point where I will HAVE to face Lok.

I rock! I so rock!!!

Rhamses came to visit the Temple. I had fun touring him around. He gave me some good ideas. The shrine in the nook needs candles. The lounge needs a rug. I need a shrine to my daughters... in my bedroom (that was already in my mind). He has peaceful energy... the kind you find in a good calm leader. Perhaps that is what he will be one day? He gave me an orange rug thread piece I was looking for... almost enough to make that rug! I want to get a couple kittens in the bedroom named after my daughters. They loved cats. He said he would find me a Bio-Engineer who can make a couple. He is very sweet. We parted way for him to meet and train a friend.

Blimey tagged me on the comm to go flying. He was fed up of crafting and needed to change his headspace. We went out to Lok... ug... and I grabbed a mission from Lady Viopa and off we hunted in the stars. We did this till the pain in my shoulder from the stain i got from the CorSec major was too much to bear.

While relaxing, Rhamses tagged my comm with a small crisis. Azrith needs 3-5 people to keep the rights to their shuttlrport. So I went to MosEisley to meet him and help stir some interest in the town. i meditated and allowed the Force to guide me to people that would be interested. I found 4! I found 4! I rock! I oh so rock!! I brought one of them back to Dantooine in my ship to see Azrith and the Temple. His name was Saben. Then I went up on the roof to sleep for a while... or until it rained on me.

Goals & Setbacks

Aha! Another goal accomplished! I hunted on my way to Azrith from the Temple and earned the last of the experience i needed to qualify for tracking training. Now I have my Frontiering and can make Field Bases not camps. And now I can tell the distance of a creature I am tracking! Soon... so very very soon... I will be able to track people.

I am hunting today for rug bits and gong bits. I want to be able to finish my my rugs and place them. I did do a bunch more decorating and sorting. As I placed more things for Brem in his room, I worried some more for him. I really do miss him. I know he is in good hands. I wanted to see him, but the medics won't allow me to disturb him. One more day...

Someone was selling off their belongings. I placed on offer on an Aurilian Banner (400k) and a painting (the painting for Blimey) (200k).

As for setbacks...
I now have great suspicion of both RSF AND CorSec! And for the same f-ing karking reasons. I was caught unawares by a Corsec major... unarmed and unarmored. One powerful and skilled man... grabbed me right off my bike and pulled me into a nook no one sees near the starport of Coronet. The blow was so hard I was dazed. Need a new black melee shirt and tossed the dark blue vest I have. He ruined them. The skirt will need replacing very soon too. I ... Well... no one will notice at least. Blimey can't exactly help. Brem... would go on a hunt. I will be fine. RSF and Corsec side with the Imperials. I felt dirty and violated. I was.

No longer in a social mood, I headed back to the Temple to meditate and bathe. I just can't bear right not to be close to anyone... not even those dear to me. After a good bath and some calming, I chatted with Blimey on the comm. No... I didn't bother telling him of this either. He was exhausted. He has a mixed schedule where he works overnight on some nights and trains during the days on some day... a mixed schedule... so he cannot get a regular sleep pattern established. poor guy. I added a couple more things to the Temple: a basket in the lounge and an offering bowl at the shrine. I think I will sit there for a bit.

Yesterday's Camp and Temple

In Azrith, I crossed paths again with Rhamses. He was the guy who first helped me in Azrith to find a buff doc when I was in a bind. I have crossed paths with him several other times without speaking to him as I raced through Azrith to the Temple. This time... I decided I should truly say hello. So I did. We introduced each ourselves and he asked a great many questions. He is very friendly and curious. He has such a pleasant energy about him. I calmed my mind a little and tried to read his energy a bit more and got the sense that he is the kind of guy who says what he means and means what he says, that he is a little bit shy but really likes social moments... curious and genuinely goodnatured and friendly. I hope I read that all correctly. I trust my instincts more now. Perhaps we will become friends... I see this as a possibility. He is a hunter and a warrior. He agreed that we will hunt sometime and talk over a campfire. He was really interested in the Temple and I told him some of what I have planned for it. I also told him about Blimey's workshop in Wanders End as he was looking for a shipwright, too.

Most of this conversation happened over the comm while I was camping on Tattooine. I went to Tattooine to camp and to pick things up from my vendor for the Temple. After the camping, I had enough experince to be trained in frontiering. Yay! In my joy to at last be able to be training in it... another goal accomplished... I completely forgot to pick up my stuff as I headed back to Azrith to the Ranger Trainer. OOPS!

Oh well... I went and meditated in the Temple instead. That is when all the stuff about Brem hit me and I contacted the Rebel Alliance to ask about his whereabouts. I hope he is well. I hope I get to see him soon. He has been in my thoughts all week. I have sat to meditate next to Dancing Bantha Macro (*inside joke-type thing... nevermind the details*) every night.

Brem!

Oh gods! Brem had a terrible spacefaring accident. I had contacted the Rebel Alliance to let them know my last contact with him was that he was in space flight. While I meditated, they hunted the spacelanes for his signal and found him. He is terribly ill with space sickness and wounds. They will not yet release him. And Blimey is off on a mission and cannot go to help either. His journal made my insides curdle a bit. I almost lost him! Thank gods... thank the Force... i did not.

Brem?

While I can explain easily why I do not see Blimey for days at a time... Brem is another story. I hope all is well with him, but for some reason I get this sneaking and sinking feeling that is is not. I will spend some time in meditation today trying to reach him. I know the life of a Bounty Hunter can be risky. I would know if he were truly dead. Our bond is strong enough for me to know that for sure... I know he lives.

Brem? Where are you?

Flying with Blimey

I took Blimey up in Misneach, my Y-wing, to try out the gunnery. We blasted through pirates and tie fighters. I think he had a ton of fun. We had fun. Yes. I almost lost my rear shields... but it was actually kinda fun. Blimey taught me to roll to protect sensitive spots on my ship. Later we flew up in our own ships and he showed off his new starship, kimogila class, with his new texturing and pain job. He is so proud of it! It is a joy to see him so happy like this. He says I am getting better at my flyingand space fighting! So... maybe I am... Perhaps I will add flight training to my list of goals after all.

Temple Sorting & Special Discoveries

I returned to the Temple and installed the new High Quality Crafting station. I also sorted a few more things and did a bit more decorating... I think I am getting better at this too. I have a vision of what this place needs to look like. Just not entirely sure how to get it that way. It is a work in progress. I will set up a small Naboo house to act as temporary storage across the water and road.

As I sorted... I noticed a few scraps of Frshka's and a little snippit of paper with some words scrawled on it. All her records are kept in the old-fashioned way and not in a datapad. Some are ruined beyond recognition and others I will keep like these. I will one day transcribe them into the safety of my datapad. The scrap of paper read:

Teague : dluthchara
Dolch : mo dathuil bithiunach

I did some research and it is the same ancient dialect I like to use words from. Mo means "my". dluthchara means "close or intimate friend". Hmmm... I wonder why she did not leave me any messages to contact him if s/he was a close friend of hers. Maybe they had parted ways much like Bordesc and I had? And mo dathuil bithiunach means " my handsome scoundrel". Hehe. Well Dolch is certain that! I guess she used these as terms of endearment. I have some terms of my own for those I feel close to:

Bordesc : mo caillte dluthchara (my lost close friend)
Blimey : m'ioniun ( hehe... i will hold this a secret for now... unless he really want to know it)
Brem : mo-ioniun-croi (my dearheart)
Dolch : mo dathuil bithiunach (I hope Fyrshka will not mind me using her term for him)

Corellian Rebel Base & GOALS!

Yesterday I dumped some drug off at Dantooine's Mining Outpost's Bazaar for all the Hunting groups who like using them... Not my thing. But whatever! At least they sell there. Stopped at the vendors in Eden to get furniture for the Temple. I also bought a warhammar to try out as the deal-damage was good for it. When I got to the Temple, I decorated it as much as I could. The ritual room is still purculating in my mind... but i added some futons, a desk in the office, and picked a room downstairs for myself on the opposite end of the Temple from Brem. We flank the Temple like guardians now. :) Lastly, I made a sigh for the office announcing our services. I need to ask Brem to put some uniquly Bounty Hunter like stuff in the office... add his flavout to it.

Later, I met Blimey and passed him my space looted components and he passed me some missiles to try in my ship. Then I got a buff from him so I could go finish my work at the Rebel Base on Corellia. Saladrim's Piket meat will have to wait... SORRY!!! I need a hunting partner and none I trust are available. I have 3000 unit at the moment... but that is not 10-20k units. Blimey returned to his crafting work... busy day for him. So off I go... lonewolfing it.

By the way, the mountainous forests of Corelli are REALLY dark at night. I have bumped into many things along my route to the base... rocks, trees, critters.... and even Rebel Special Forces Urban Gorilla stalking an Imperial stormtrooper. When I came out of the forest to the snow-capped mountains... wow... They are so beautiful at night. I took a quick photo of the snow-blanketed Rebel base.

I tried out the new warhammar on my first mission... AK. Unwieldy! I am SO not ready for this weapon. Back to my trusty 2-handed curved sword. It was the last of my missions for Wedge. He awarded me with a Rebel Signet Ring. I will wear it with honour. He had been talking with Princess Leia about my activity today... now she wants to meet me.

Wow... Face to face with royalty again. I say again because when I was in the school... we met with all kinds of people. She is so eloquent compared to most of the other Rebels. ANd she will not call this organization Rebel... she call it the Alliance. Hm. Her tasks for me were remarkable simple... escort or deliver. Thankfully, because thunder was crashing and an icy wind picked up outside... I sensed freezing rain... and I was so right. Icy glazed my helm's visor in moments... good thing I did not need to fight! When i had finished my tasks for Her Highness, she Asked me to go see Han Solo... oy... on Lok... of all places! LOK!!! Everyone is sending me to LOK!!!

~~sigh~~

Well I at least accomplished one goal. And soon afterm Gicanes contacted me to say he just stocked quality starship crafting stations in his vendor. YAY! Off to Naboo! He has this incredible house full of well stocked vendors near Theed (wp -4763, 5323). Another (older) goal accomplished!

Blahzeh Morning

I have been having connection trouble with my datapad journal and couldn't upload my journal last night or this morning... but it is fixed now... obviously.

I had to revise my goals too.
- Frontiering training
- Tracking training
- novice in sword (ongoing... and slow)
- hunt 10-20k piket meat for Saladrim
- work on Rebel ground missions

Poor Blimey had been up for 32+ hrs and still working and training. I joined him up in space to keep him company so he would fall asleep on his mission. It was long and boring to just escort freighters... but that was his mission. After that he crashed. *sleep well... see you later mo ionuin*

Guess I will lonewolf it for a while as no one else is around today. I went to Anchorhead and gave the Rebel recruiter there an Imperial Title disk I found. I also was awarded a promotion. I am now a Staff Corporal in the Rebel Alliance. With an hour left on my buffs, the recrutier told me I was needed ASAP at the base on Corellia. Saladrims meat order will have to wait a day. I was asked to retrieve some documents and escort some personel out of danger. Then I met Wedge Antilles. He is one of the heroes of the Rebellion... a pilot stuck at a desk while his ship undergoes much repairs. He is not happy with the situation... I can feel that off him. But he gave me some missions and errands to do. He is not the diplomatic type. If someone among the enemy needs to be assassinated... he says so plainly. "Eliminate this key person... I don't care how." Says what he means and means what he says. When my buffs ran out, he sent me off to recoup. Blimey's armor stood the test against the Imperials intil the shield generator died... then I got a bit hurt! My bike was damaged worse though... thankfully it is repairable.

I traveled back to Coronet and camped out there fr a while... once theRagTag Loons finally gave up attacking me.

Hunting on land and in the stars

Yesterday afternoon, I arrived in the Coronet starport to see if there were any good doctors for buffing. And LO! Saladrim from WIKAN was there! I sat with him a bit while I sorting my things and planned my afternoon. My original goals got revised as he mentioned he needed meats for making more buffs. I said I would hunt him some. So... there is the start of a plan. Back to Dant for Piket hunting. Well at least I will build on my sword skills and my tracking skills. Thrakazog came on the comm! Yay! He is a fine Ranger and I liked him well when we first met. He is more mature that the last group I hunted with. He joined me to hunt for Piket.

He took me to Dantooine in his Space Yacht. WOW! It was awesome. It brought back lots of memories! This was like the school I attended as a child! It was in a space yacht... a much bigger one though. Thrakazog is a wandering ranger... this yacht will be his mobile home.

On Dantooine, I showed him around the Temple and then we hunted Piket out of Wanders End. We make an awesome hunting team. He stations himself 60m from the kills withmy harvest droid and I run in to keep the Piket busy while he shoots them. We did 3 missions in 45min. That was a record for me! And it was much fun! I love hunting with someone. I guess I am becoming a social creature after all. We split ways for dinner and promised to look each other up again for another hunt... another time.

Shortly after dinner Cnl. Dolch Adare (Dolch) tagged my comm and asked if he could fly as my gunner in my Y-Wing. I never had a second shooter. This will be interesting! I warned him that I was nervous and that I was not that great a pilot. My flight officer directed me to see Lady Viopa for my next mission. UG! LOK! I had to go to Lok... of all horrid places.... Dolch did not understand my loathing of Lok. I promised to tell him a story... about a girl who fears and hates Lok for some very good reasons. But first we had to escort some of Nym's smuggler with Rebel pilots aiding to steal some Corsair ships for the Rebellion. We flew 3 escort missions. Hm... 3 seems to be the number of the day. Dolch complimented my piloting. Wow... he must not fly much.... At least I did not freeze up in panic. I must either be getting better, more confident or just feel more secure with someone else up in space with me. Maybe Lok haeld more fear in my soul than spaceflight.

We landed back in MosEisley and had a few victory drinks as he says military folks do. It was good... and a great way to destress. Hmmm... a tradition I will keep up i think. We mounted pets (me on my bol and he on his bantha) and rode out into the cool evening out into the desert sands to a hilly region for a camp. He was much impressed with my camp. :)

Her I told him the story of a girl and the early hardships she face and the reasons she cannot bare to be near Lok. As I mentioned the Imperial who saved her life, he could not inderstand the compassion of an Imperial. That will be a story for another day. Dolch played a huge hand in that girl's and that Imperial Special Forces agent that drastically changed their lives forever.

Crafting Morning with Blimey

Met up with Blimey in his workshop this morning. It was good to see him... and good to see him still happy with his profession choices. He was busy crafting and more crafting. I watched for a bit and we chatted about starships. He was telling me about how reverse engineering gives him insights into Boba Fett's ship. I gave him my foundling ship components to play with *smile*. I, however complained that Boba Fett's ship looked like an iron sitting on an ironing board. Hehe. He warned me that Pahoo would be offended by that... but it is TRUE! That is what it looks like to me.

Well, Blimey showed me his new flight suits, a red one and a black one. They look better than his bright blue one! I still won't wear my orange one. When I find one i like... maybe I will wear buy it to wear.

On our way out to his trainer, we stopped in Eden at an amazing vending tent. I recorded its waypoint in my datapad. I will go back there for Temple furniture and to take a better look at clothes. I bought a new blue vest I likes and a replacement black BE undershirt.

In Coronet, Blimey got his training and made me some missiles for my ship.

Tonight's goals:

• Novice in Sword
• Complete my ground mission at the Rebel Base on Corellia
• Work on my second Tier of Flight training (low on the priority)
• Look into helping Drakka again (I can feel darkenss and danger nearing her)

Flight Mission of Forever

Afraid I might forget my Zabrak tongue... I have begun speaking it again. I think I have managed to learn at least the rudiments of most of the languages out there... Ithorians are still a mystery to me. I have made it a point to learn the language of anyone who had trained me... at least so I can say thank you in their own language. I remember enough to understand them... and enough to speak a bit... but I am most fluent in Zabrak and Basic.

The search for a starship crafting station has not been going well. I did find someone to make a good quality one. His name is Gocanes. I ordered one from him. I hope he can get back to me on cost and ETA.

Blimey is also looking for one. I gave him the same contact so he can order one also. Poor Blimey... he is really pushing himself hard. His goals are a major driving force for him and they are taking him longer that he would like. He is either missioning up in space or running around after his harvesters or locked in his workshop crafting like mad. It will be some time before I get to see him again. But I know I will. He just needs to focus on these things at the moment. I can't push myself the way he does. But then, he also accomplishes his goals very quickly.

Feeling bold, brave... bored? I must have been bored stupid... because I took another space mission. I had to patrol several transport routes and eliminate and trouble in them. This took a LONG time.... LOOoooOOoong time. And I failed this the first time around. I failed because my nav computer lost my next waypoint. Grrrr. So I had to go back to my flight officer and report this failure. I expected to get reprimanded again. Apparently he understood. He gave me a similar mission and sent me out again. I grabbed some food to try to settle my nerves before going up again. Last thing I need is for me to puke in my small cockpit! YUK! My Y-wing is very slow. But I am learning how to handle it. I love that it is well armored though! It works best when I have a wingman. Brem met me and was my wingman for the second round. OMGs this took forever! There were SO many transport routes! So many tie fighters.... I was so glad to have Brem with me. He is really good at flying and is fun to watch as he shows off maneouvers in his Z-95 Headhunter named Ember III.I was tense throughout the mission. I am ok with "clean" flying with no one attacking. And Corellia is quite pretty from way up in space... but when engaged in a fight... I seem to freeze a moment and then... tensely take aim. Brem and Blimey seem to think I am doing alright. I was glad to be back on the ground when it was finally over.

GODs Finally! I kissed the ground! Brem laughed at me. He is really at home in a starship. I think he is a natrual. Well, I ran off to get trained... but turned down taking another mission. I needed to crash... I dashed out of town and made a camp to sleep in. Brem came and joined me. I was so tired out... I hardly talked. I was so sore from being tense during the long lission. I stretched out and was asleep in no time. I didn't even hear him wish me a good sleep...
