Spinnaker Trail,Vandor-1, Mid Rim

A diagonal screen wipe takes the scene from The Lodge to the snowy slopes of the Spinnaker Trail!

Up the Spinnaker Trail our adventurers go, riding inside of a boxed-in landspeeder that is zipping up the trail. They've been driving for about three hours now, and they're only going further and higher. Its been snowing the whole way, with a heavy dusting of the white powder just constantly flowing across the front viewscreen of the industrial landsepeeder.

"How far up this mountain are we headed?" Rey asks the droid driver, still in her masked attire, hood and all, though now she's got a heavy jacket over top of it all.

"Not much further, girl." The Droid says back to her. "We have already made it around Mount Vastadon. We are moving up the Big Rock now. Mount Redolava... you are likely feeling a little light headed due to thinner oxygen. Do not worry, there will be enough oxygen to breath." It tries to reassure all of the passengers inside of the vehicle.

The viewing windows on the sides of the vehicle give a look out upon a tundra of snow, ice and rock. To the right is the steep incline of rocky mountainside and to the left is a steep drop off into a river canyon, the river is wide, but entirely covered over in a thick sheet of ice.

Rey gives a look back to the others, its cold inside the speeder truck, but there is a gust of heater-supplied-air shooting through the interior from vents along the sides.

Elrych is sitting up as close to the droid as possible, eyeing the controls and the road ahead. He's got his dark and thick shades on but took the time to reinforce his winter attire underneith his robes. A proper face mask, scarf, thicker tunic and insulated gloves and pants. "Hey... watch that..." Says the young Corellian Initiate, being the annoying backseat driver for THE WHOLE THREE HOURS. Poor droid, poor companions. "Are we almost there? I really gota drekin' pee..."

Yuun's hood covers his face, his scarf covers his face and goggles keeps his eyes clear of the snow. Sitting in the back, he looks ahead and out along the sides, just watching the scenery as it goes by. He doesn't have much to say, but he is sensing out around them with the Force, wanting to keep them from being surprised.

Aryn sits in the back of the speeder, leaning to one side to peering out the view port, she sighs. Aryn has made use of a scout armor, comprised of a temperature regulated body suit that is reinforced by the presence of armor plating. A custom helmet was deployed, its design expanding along the back of her neck before clamping in place over her head. When the helmet seals, her face is hidden from view and the ports for her eyes glaze over before lighting up in a dark purple. She wears a fur cape which is thick on her small shoulders and white like her armor. The fur is from an animal that had gray, black, and white blotched fur; maybe a Nexu. She doesn't add to the banter, just watches and thinks of home, during its winter season.

Zan too has improved her winter weather gear, with a pilot suit that is made for a vaccuum, mostly in place. It might not be quite the scout armour, and she doesn't have the helmet on currently, but certainly the sealing suit will provide pilot reflexes room to maneouver, and provide a nice solid vision, even in the midst of the snow. If the ship is in range, the suit is connected, allowing for her sensors to be read by whoever might be back there, and giving her a little bit more range here on the ground. If it's not in range, well, it's still a flight suit that will keep her from freezing. She's quiet, meditating for a bit as they traverse the horrid terrain, helmet in her lap until its time to disembark.

The droid doesn't seem to mind Elrych's backseat driving, it either outright ignores his commentary or just gives snide remarks back to him. Though occasionally when Elrych's advice is sound enough, the droid does heed it and do as instructed. In this case? It slams right through the edge of that embankment of snow, sending it up and over the whole vehicle. "That wasn't here last time." The droid says in a dry robotic tone of voice.

Rey's eyes glance over the others with her, she's often looking back at them to make sure everyone is okay. She has a set of goggles with her, but they're pushed up over her forehead at the moment.

"And we're almost there." The droid says. "Sort of. We have to take a climber's road down toward the river, underneath the old train car tracks. Look there, you can see them ahead." He raises one robotic arm and points out the view screen.

Across the gap between mountains--above the river about 400 feet--are the remains of the railway bridge. Parts of it look gnarled and damaged now, one section is completely bent and broken down the middle of the bridge.

"One thing I should tell you though." The droid starts to say. "There are oth---" His robotic voice is cut off by their vehicle suddenly being fired upon. A blaster bolt slaps into the side window between two of the passengeres and sends glass shards everywhere, as well as the cold harsh winds blowing into the vehicle!

"There are other people interested in this crash site too!" The droid finishes speaking as he veers the landspeeder off the main mountain road and now down over the smaller road headed down toward the river.

Behind them, three vehicles can be seen, men crawling up around on top of them, all pulling out blaster weapons, all decked out in heavy snow-guard gear!

Elrych is flung back and onto his back, or into his seat, as they hit the embankment of snow. "I call poodoo! You did that on purpose!" He's only half serious as he sits back and streightens out his heavy clothing. "Well, let's hope we don't have to take any detours." As the droid announces company, the Correlian Jedi frowns. "Really? Really?" He sighs and moves up front again. "Those arn't friends." He looks back.

Yuun must've missed them as they were on their way, a slight frown forms on his face and he brings up his arms to keep the glass from hitting him in the face and anyone else behind him he moves so that the glass hits him. He sighs a little bit, "Yeah I agree with Elrych, they aren't friends at all, and we have three more vehicles behind us." he calls to the others as his hand begins moving to his lightsaber. "EXPD-D0IX, can you get us out of here?" He calls to the droid.

Aryn flinches away from the sudden broken glass and cowers from the blaster fire that hits their speeder. <"Why is it everywhere I go, everyone wants to kill me?"> Aryn pulls out her lightsaber as well, content to hold it in her gloved hand while waiting for their chance to get out and take cover. She wasn't sure what the plan was now, and she didn't want to chance a look and get shot in the face. She'd been shot before, and it did not improve her morale.

Zan is listening of course, and she frowns just as the blaster bolt slaps in and sends glass shards everywhere, her body rocking with the movement of the vehicle they are in. Her eyes close briefly and she mutters something under her breath, as she prepares mentally for more incoming shots. "It's not just you, Aryn," she replies as she puts her helmet on grimly. And as it fastens, there's a moment of discombobulation as she gets used to the view, and things seal up, as they're supposed to. Next step - a weapon.

"You can't prove that!" Their droid driver and navigator states loudly back to Elrych before it reaches forward and presses a few buttons on the dash controls of the vehicle. "I am in the process of working on that very thing, Mister Yuun!" The Droid states as it glances over to Rey beside him.

"Everyone keep your heads as low as you can, don't give them a target!" Rey shouts over the sounds of the landsepeeder and chaos around it now.

The droid speaks up again. "If you have a blaster, now is a good time to return fire!" The vehicle lunges up over a snowy embankment causing everyone inside to get thrust up into the air, which is the opposite of staying low. "My apologies! This is not a road meant for this kind of activity!"

Rey's hand goes down to her blaster and she pulls it out of its holster. She turns to her window and keys it open, then sticks the blaster outside to try to fire in the snow toward one of the vehicles!

"Stang!" Elrych says as he turns around, "I havn't got a blaster. You know, trying to be all traditional... ah..." He thinks a moment and reaches to his belt to pluch his black and gold lightsaber from it. He doesn't turn it on. "You guys ah... shoot back. I'll think of something."

With the situation as it is, Yuun looks to the three vehicles coming up behind them, "I got the guys behind us." he says as he holds out his hand and exerts himself through force and seeing the rider he sends a force blast towards him and as he does he sends the rider flying behind the bike. With all that's going on, they wouldn't notice how he fell nor would he possibly.

Aryn can't see well enough to hone her focus. Relying blindly upon the force is not something she's accustomed to. It came easier when she could see them. Perhaps she needed more training. Whatever attempt she made went unseen and unnoticed. It was pathetic, but it was all she could manage for now.

Zan doesn't have her blaster pistol drawn though she does have one with her, she does. She concentrates, and tries to actually see if she can't turn one of the vehicles so that it flips over or falls off the path onto the side. It doesn't work as well as could be wished, perhaps partly because she's also scrambling to draw her blaster pistol at the same time.

Yuun's attack does manage to unsettle the driver of the center vehicle. He sees one of his two companions get sent flying off of the back of the vehicle but didn't see a blaster weapon... "They're using sonic blasters!" He grumbles over their group comms. "Watch out, they have a wide code, difficult to dodge." His right hand jams forward the throttle and he drives up along side the speeder truck with the Jedi inside it!

Now, right up beside it, he's able to look over at them, and he even grins. Most of his face is covered by goggles and a headwrap though. His last associate on his speeder jumps into view and aims a blaster rifle inside the Truck, and fires!

Inside, Doddix calls out. "I have explosions loaded, I can drop them, but it might cause an avalanche in our wake!" He offers as a solution to the Jedi.

Rey is on the other side of the truck from which the speeder is beside them on, thusly she's taking aim back behind them at the other two still tailing them!

Rey's blaster aim is sound, she takes out one of the gunmen on one of the two speeders behind them! The bolt lands solidly sending him flying off behind his speeder. She ducks down and narrowly avoids another blaster bolt that sizzles just over her head. Looking back inside, her hood pushed back off of her head and her hair unraveling around her face, she shouts. "Got one!"

Elrych looks towards the Droid, "I swear... don't even consider it." Then again as the Sonic blasts come and rock the speeder, it's not like that's any better. Griting his teeth. He pokes his head out the window and spots a tree down up ahead. He reaches out a hand and lifts the long trunk up and tosses it like a sack of fresh Kashyyykian fruits at the goons following them. "Should watch where you're going instead of SHOOTING AT US!"

"No don't use them, we don't want to cause any more damage to where we are going, we can handle this." he calls to EXPD-D0IX. He looks at the three speeders and seeing two close together, he makes a gesture at the handle bars to swerve the bike on the right into the one on the left to knock them off and send them tumbling.

Aryn manages to duck down as a blue sonic blast splashes against the exterior of their craft just near where she's concealed herself with cover. Popping back up, Aryn narrows her eyes on one of the others on the speeder that poses a threat. When her focus has honed in, she draws upon her influence over the force to exact a very particular motion she deploys by extending one hand. One of the riders upon the speeder which chased them was suddenly appended from their seat and cast overboard to land firmly into the snow. Aryn follows through with her manipulation to peer a bit longer to ensure they are no longer a threat. Satisfied, she dips back down.

It's possible that Zan's shots, which don't do any damage at all, will at least keep the goons firing at them thinking that they are being hit with multiple types of blasters. Certainly, they can see some definite blaster fire of the regular sort screaming by them. It misses, but not by too much. Zan's at least aiming in the right general direction. Though she may perhaps be flinching, anticipating getting shot, like last time. Worry and fretting does a lot to tense one up, and help one miss. Or well, in this case, it does for Zan.

With only one driver left in control of his pursuing vehicle he kills the throttle and lets the speeder truck zip on ahead, then he stands up in the open cab and raises his hands up to lift his goggles up. His four eyes look over at the remains of his comrades and he raises his hands up in the air and starts to curse in whatever language was native to his strange orange-skinned species!

He lets the Jedi leave though, not about to fight that beastly truck with no support!

Rey watches from her spot at the front of the truck. She peers out into the snowy chaos and watches the speeder vanishing behind them. Her silvery blaster pistol is held up and she leans back inside, seals the window shut and with her hair all wildly frazzled about her face she nods back to the others. "Everyone okay?" She asks, lowering her blaster again and exhaling.

Dobbix speaks up. "Onto the ice we go!" He kicks the throttle on their Truck up as fast as it can go and the vehicle rockets out across the iced over river, sending waves of snow and ice up into the air in their wake!

--

Another 45 minutes go by, there's no more sign of attackers. Their droid drive chimes in. "We are arriving!" Their vehicle is rolling through the snow up a slight incline at the base of one of the mountains in this region. "Its there." He points with one long droid arm.

Outside, there's the partially uncovered remains of an old Imperial-era cargo train.

Rey spies it, she sighs and moves to raise her goggles up over her head, as well as her jacket's hood. "I guess we're walking..." She starts to climb out of the Truck then.

"I will wait here." The droid says, almost excitedly.

Elrych rubs his elbow and hisses a bit. It got a little banged up. Once they arrive he stumbles out of the speeder and rushes over towards a rock where he can releave himself. "Ahhhhh..." He exclaims in relief. Other's can probably see the steam and hear the stream hitting and melting the snow. The Initiate gives a shake and studies his handy work. "Eh... not my best name in the snow." He shrugs and makes his war back to the gathering. Hands on hips he studies the mountain. "Well then. Looks like we are." His brows knit a moment and he looks around. "Huh..." His brows narrow in confusion. "De Je Vu."

Yuun gets out of the speeder and he yawns and stretches out, he check his clothing and coat making sure he is secured with his clothing and coat. He adjust his goggles and everything, "Wel we are here, let's just hope we can find what we are looking for and getting back out. EXPD-D0IX, if you can find a hiding place just in case those guys come back with reinforcements." he states.

Aryn has to climb out of the window, her door is too damaged to open. In doing so, she ends up on the ground. She isn't damaged or anything, but it doesn't feel good after four hours in a seat. She gets back up and stretches a moment, then realizes that the droid sounded.. excited.. to be staying behind. <"I have a really bad feeling about this. Someone should stay with the speeder. Just in case."> Aryn steps ahead then, moving toward the train. Her gaze flicks up to the surrounding high ground, where at any moment, something could trigger an avalanche.

Zan gets off the vehicle and follows the other, holstering her blaster, and putting it on safety. She keeps her hands free, and keeps going, pausing to roll her eyes as they wait for Elrych.

Rey moves to help Aryn after seeing her friend spill out of the truck like that. With a glance over her she then looks up toward the train, then to the droid. "I don't think he'll leave behind." She quietly says. "Maybe if he gets ambushed out here though...." She sighs then. "Come on, lets get to it."

A glance is given to the others as she passes around the truck, not noticing Elrych she just looks forward and adjusts her goggles over her eyes, then starts to do the fun snow-walking motion as its going up to just beneath her knees, leaving a trail in her wake of where her legs were swishing back and forth through the powdery snow.

The train appears to have jumped the tracks high above their heads, and careened down into the side of the mountain where it likely rolled down to the base of it here many years ago... a recently shifting in the snows uncovered it, and another may yet recover it in the near future.

As they draw closer to the train they'll find some research equipment near to its side. Flood Lights aimed at it that can be turned on via a console at their base. Rey walks up to them and glances to them, then up to the train.

She points.

"There. A hatch. Its partially open." She glances around. "Anyone want to try to force it open the rest of the way?"

Elrych take a looks around, stepping towards the half way opened hatch. "Yeah... herm. What you got here is a Type 27 blast door from val-tech molding and casting. Real tough suckers." He snort/inhails and stretches his back a bit. "No biggie though you know." He steps back and raises both his hands. The door creeks and haws, metal sounds like it bends. Elrych concentrates as he pushes the thing open with his connection to the force. Once it's done, he takes a moment to breath before inspecing the car. "Seems like theres some old Imperial Uniforms in here..."

Yuun keeps a watch out just in case they are being watched, so far he doesn't sense anything he thinks. He moves over to Rey and Aren to help Aryn. Once she is up, he moves to the train and once Elrych gets the train open, he quirks a brow, "Good job." he smiles. "Alright everyone head in, I will be the last to go in." he says too them.

Aryn remains outside the train car, not entirely sure she wants to dig through frozen old Imperial uniforms, even if there's a chance it might look good on her. She walks around the train car exploring it a bit. An uneasy feeling sets its roots upon her conscience though, and she just feels like something is off here. She draws her lightsaber by freeing it from her belt and holding it in her right hand. If something is going to happen, she must be ready to defend herself from it! <"Something is not right here."> Her voice is projected over the voice emitter from her helmet.

"I agree that there's some sort of danger here," Zan says. "But I don't know what it is. She takes as good a look around as she can, curious to see what she might notice. Of course, she's not able to tell anything about danger, so she heads to the door of the train, ready to step inside, hand on her blaster, just in case. "Do you think we can get to the next car from the inside?" she asks, now thinking entirely on how to get through and investigate the cars that have come down. Oblivious, she steps inside, and only then hear's Aryn's comment, pausing to look back out. "What do you mean? It's a bunch of uniforms?" she asks, quite definitely missing something.

Rey is up to where Elrych is after he opens the door and she steps in behind him with Zandra hot on her heels. Yuun and Aryn are still outside though in the lightly falling snow with the sun mostly blocked behind clouds leaving the sky a deep blueish gray.

Rey's eyes scan the dark interior of the train car and she keys on a hand held light source. Its white beam tracks left and right before she motions ahead. "There's doors leading both ways. That one is open though." She aims the light at the far end of the train car they're inside of now...

Its Aryn that discovers something new though, in the form of the snow suddenly moving beside her. Two mechanical arms burst from the snow drift up alongside the train. More snow falls away from it and suddenly an Imperial-era 11-3K viper probe droid starts beeping, with its red eye coming online. Its two arms ELECTRIFY and try to reach out to zap Aryn!

"Yeah..." Elrych says to Zandra, pulling his own lightsaber from his belt but not ignighting it. "It's... an odd feeling for sure but..." Suddenly the face of a woman appears. It's bruised and covered in blood. She screams at Elrych not to go. This startles the Jedi so much that he flails and falls back into the uniforms. He blinks, his heart beating fast. He breaths rapidly, "What... did anyone else see that?" It was only him. He picks himself back up and looks around expecting to find the wounded woman around there. She's not. Elrych snaps back towards where they came, "Did you hear that?"

Yuun is still outside and when he hears the ignition of a lightsaber and he glances to Aryn, he quickly snaps his weapon into his hand. He quickly ignites his weapon, moving to flank the Probe droid, trying to get in close to help attack the droid.

As if on cue, the droid comes to life and immediately stabs at her. Instinct and practice have Aryn back stepping, but she has to duck! WOOSH! Goes one arm over her head.

Another, intended for her directly has Aryn dancing to one side, sliding across the ice. A practiced motion announced the activation of her lightsaber. Its brightly hued blue blade extends to a length of 1.4m, humming with each slight motion. Taking a mid-guard, Aryn swings the lightsaber in a circular defensive slash, alienating one of the probe droid's arms from its main chassis. The arm clanks harshly to her right, and Aryn brings her lightsaber blade to bear, circling in her chosen mid-guard stance again.

Oblivious to the attacking sounds just outside the train wreck, Zan steps further in, pausing to look at the uniforms, but not really enthused about them. She gives Rey a glance, and then heads towards the open door, curious to see what's through there. She does, as she walks, ready her blaster pistol, holding it in one hand, and ready to shoot, safety thumbed off. "Now then, let's see what's over here?" Rey's little light is surely enough, especially given the flight suit that Zan is wearing. She hopes.

The reaction that Elrych has happens almost directly beside Rey's left shoulder. It makes her reach out to place her hands on his shoulders to steady him. "Woah, woah." She says. "See what?" She didn't see whatever it was that plauged him, she didn't feel anything through the Force either... nothing that would suggest he'd been attacked had triggered any senses inside her. When she is certain he's steady she looks to Zandra moving forward into the train.

"Be carefu--" Rey's words are cut off by the sudden blaster fire from another Viper Probe Droid inside that next train car. Zandra's lucky enough to sense the attack a moment before it comes though!

Outside.

The Viper Droid has lost one of its two arms and it spins around to get its second arm out to try to swipe at Aryn again while its head-mounted blaster twists toward Yuun and fires at him!

"It was that woman, from the Cantina..." Elrych says quietly to Rey, shaking his head. "Maybe I drank too much Whiskey last night or something." He follows Rey along. He doesn't hear outside more so, notices Rey's reaction. He ignights his lightsaber just as the attack comes from the train car ahead. He doesn't lash out with his blade, being a bad idea in closed quarters and the fact others are ahead of him. Instead, he raises his hand and pushes with the force, a shockwave of compressed air forming as the dorid careens towards the other end of the car violently. "Probe droids, huh?"

Yuun sees the training he's been doing with Aryn has been paying off, he smiles inwardly as he quickly deflects blaster fire away from him, he quickly side steps the last shot and brings his bladed up than down, cutting the viper droid in half. "You alright Aaryn?" he asks as he quickly begins looking for more threats.

Aryn prepares to counter only to be caught off-guard by its irregular movements. Rather than defend, she's struck! Hard! The arm that hit her sparks off the face-concealing helmet and sends Aryn twisting off to one side, planting against the train car exterior wall back first. The lightsaber in her grasp deactivates as a result, and she slides down the wall, landing lifelessly into the snow. Yuun receives no response from the unconscious Doctor.

Zan jumps as there's suddenly an attack from the car in front of them. Her first shot misses, but perhaps as much because Elrych sends the thing flying backwards at the sametime. Zan aims and fires, and the second shot smashes into the probe droid, which is not at all happy, exploding into a melted blob of metal and stingy arms. "Where did that come from?" she asks, sounding a bit upset, a bit annoyed and somewhat shaken.

As the training of this new Jedi Order displays, both probe droids are destroyed at almost simultaneous moments whilst yet still in different locations! Both droids are left in smoldering ruin, sparks and smoke spewing out of their shattered bodies.

Outside, the light snow continues, the harsh and killer cold winds sweep across the foot of the mountain and over the partially snow-covered train thats rested here for decades.

Rey watches Elrych and Zandra work together to take out the viper droid, then she turns back to the way they'd come. "There was fighting outside. I better check on them." She says, glancing back to Zandra and El. "Keep pushing forward. Be caaareful." She warns them as she turns back to go to the hatch back to the winter wonderland.

Further inside the train, Elrych and Zandra will discover what had likely been the reason that word had eventually lead to them being called here. There's only a dim light inside the train car, its a dark blue hazy hue and in the corner of the car, back near to where the droid had just been destroyed, there lies a robed figured, resting peacefully with its dead and decayed head down. Its a Jedi Knight.

Rey steps up to the exit and hops back outside, she sees Yuun, and then Aryn, she rushes to Aryn's side. "What happened?" She asks, noting the other viper droid on the ground... "Aryn, are you okay?" She can't tell if she's conscious or not yet.

"Right, keep pushing into the creepy dark train car filled with evil probe droids. Gota ya..." Elrych says, keeping his blade ignighted for illumination. As he comes upon the dead body with Zandra there is a shake of his head. He kneels down in front of it, turning off his blade and putting it back on his belt. He searches the Robes for anything useful or informational but when he presses a hand towards the decaying hand, the Corellian Jedi is over taken by a vision. His father... The woman. Giving away a child to his father. The woman standing up and being taken away by bounty hunters. His father and the hild hiding in this train wreckage until they passed. Then a black shadow would leap out at him, screaming in terror. To Zandra, she would see Elrych stare off into space and the collapse onto the ground, "I remember now... Zandra. I remember... it's so horrible."

Yuun quickly rushes over towards where Aryn is, getting there just as Rey does. She was hit by the Probe Droid. I was shot it, I think he hit her with one of its arms." eh gives a report calm and not rushed. He has deactivated his lightsaber and clipped it to his belt. "Let me take her inside, it's cold out here and she will need to be out of this weather." eh says as he looks to Rey for permission.

The voice emitter from Aryn's helmet makes a sound, then it's a cough and low groan, like she's waking up. Both Yuun and Rey may detect the point of impact against Aryn's helm. It is slightly dented inward, suggesting the blunt force trauma could have been the culprit that knocked her unconscious. Aryn draws one of her legs up slowly while her left hand comes up to touch what would be her face, but instead is the helmet. "Ugh.."

A careful touch to the helm sees it begin to fold back until it retreats back within her armor, behind the collar. Its absence reveals Aryn's pale face. Her hair is pinned beneath a beanie cap, but there's the dark distinct presence of blood coming down the right side of her face, where it had struck her.

Zan goes with Elrych, the blaster pistol still in hand, just in case. As they come to the dead jedi knight, she lets out a breath, the helmet of her suit coming off for a moment, in respect. She keeps the blaster in a guard position while Elrych searches, but when he collapses, she goes to her knees, one hand reaching to his shoulder. "Elrych, I'm glad you are remembering, even if it's sad. It's still good to know. But we need you to be strong right now. Just for a little longer - to keep it together. She takes over where he left off, checking to see what killed the poor jedi knight (anything obvious like it was the kriffing probe droid they just faced. Or if there's anything to identify who he is. So they can bring the report back to their academy.

Outside, Rey looks from Yuun after he voices his rundown on what happened and then to Aryn. When Aryn reveals her face to them from inside that damaged helmet, Rey's eyes search over the wound. But after a few seconds she exhales lightly. "I'm glad you had that thing on." She tells her friend then, her own goggles are still on over her eyes, they're similar to the ones she had on Jakku only the have reflective blue lenses. "I think you're okay to move, Yuun is right. Lets get inside. Its out of this wind..."

Rey will move to help Aryn up with Yuun's aide and together the three will make their way inside the train...

Inside the train, Elrych had uncovered a holographic recording and display device on the Jedi's person, but Zandra is the one to be able to reach out for it. She'll also notice that the Jedi Knight has two distinctly nasty burn marks on the chest of his Jedi attire, it would seem the probe droids got him good and likely lead to his end here in this train car...

Rey appears in the door between the two cars, helping Aryn with Yuun. "What did you find?" She asks of the others, noting Elrych's clear discomfort...

Elrych nods towards Rey, "When I put myself in my trance before getting Frozen. I saw this place. My father, my mother. He wasn't my father but he loved my mother. He took me up here to hide. Mom... someone wanted her. They took her away." He takes a deep breath and stands, looking to Rey as she comes back. "Then I flew through the cosmos," He points to the Holo recording Zandra has, "became one with the force. I was ready to let go but then, then there was this darkness. Something more evil than te empire or te First Order. More evil than Kylo Ren... and it was coming for me. For all of us. Feeding, consuming. So I returned to my body and that's when you all found me on Chad." He looks to Rey, something obviously very different with him. "Sorry... Rey." He clears his throat and steadies himself. "I'm good to go."

Yuun is careful as he and Rey help get Aryn on board, once they are inside he closes the door to help with keeping more snow and cold from getting in. He will gestures for Rey to go forward to check on Zan and Elrych. He helps sit Aryn down, "Hey take it easy and rest." he says to her. He thinks of taking her helmet off, but no, she needs the heat. He stands up fully and looks around, "I will stay here with Aryn, and keep a look out for more neighbors."

"..me too." Aryn replied, accepting their help. The world was far too intense for her to stand on her own so she used both Jedi to hold herself up. Her face was paler than usual, and as they moved, small drops of blood trickled down her torso plate and dotted the snow. Making it inside the train was nice, because the cold air was no longer trying to stab cold knives through her cheeks, but her lightheadedness was making it difficult to hold her head up. So she lets her head rest forward, like she's unconscious, and to that, she barely is. Yet somehow, her lightsaber is still held in her right hand and hung over Rey's shoulders.

Zan collects the holographic recording and display device, noting the nasty burn marks, as well. "It looks like the probe droids might have surprised him and killed him," she says softly. Her gaze then goes to Elrych as he speaks, and she tilts her head a bit quietly. She doesn't comment, her gaze going back to the jedi knight here, whose resting place they have disturbed. "I have this," she says, holding it up briefly, and then tucking it safely in a box, so it will be secure. "I don't know if it will work, but we have it, at least." She finally notices that Aryn is injured, and that gets an indrawn breath. "Maybe we should head out?"

Rey steps over to Elrych and she puts a hand on his shoulder. "We're going to need to talk about this, all of this when we get back." She tells him in a calm voice as her other hand reaches up to pull her goggles up onto her forehead. As she turns around then she notes the active bleeding on Aryn's head. "Here, let me." She helps Aryn move to a place to sit down and she starts to reach into her hip satchel to pull out some medical gauze to try to stop that bleeding.

Starting to work on that head wound, Rey looks over to Zandra to see a glimpse of that recording and display dvvice. "Wait, Zandra." She says then. "Set that there, on the center table." She goes back to the medical attention and once she has the bleeding stopped she presses her hand to Aryn's shoulder then turns to that central table in the train car that appears to have been some kind of storage room.

Rey moves to activate that device then. She flips it on, and a blue figure coalesces in the air above the device, about a foot tall. Another Jedi. A male human Jedi.

"This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." The figure says, standing in the traditional garments of the Jedi Order. "I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of a new Empire rising to taking their place. This message is a warning, and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust. In. The Force. Do not return to the temple on Coruscant, as that time has passed and our future is uncertain. In the coming days, weeks, months... perhaps years, we will each be challenged. Our trust. Our faith. Our friendships will be put to the greatest test we have ever faced. But we must persevere and in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you. Always."

After this transmission finishes speaking, it flickers and fades away, replaced by one of the Jedi Knight deceased on the ground within the room near to those here. He was a Duros Jedi Knight. He's injured.

"I've come this far." He's clutching his side where he's been shot. "I disabled the train, took it off the tracks. I lost my lightsaber. But I'm here. I've barricaded the door, but those damn droids, they're still out there... They're gonna make it inside, they're cutting their way through. But... I don't think I'm gonna be alive by the time they get in here." He coughs, his recording flickers. "This device has it though. The coordinates to the Adegan System. Jerek, If you catch up to me and find it. Please see to it that it gets to Master Shaak Ti... she'll know what to do with it from there. I'm sorry. I'd hoped this would've been easier than it turned out to be. We've done good here today. May... may the Force be with us all."

The figure shimmers and fades away, leaving just the cold winds outside howling around the train car.

Elrych nods to Rey, "Of course, absolutly." He looks to Aryn and moves to her. "You alright? Do you want some help once we get back with your healing?" Then he turns to watch the recording, clearly intriged by it. "Oh wow... Obi-Wan Kenobi. No way... Adegan System... Master Shaak Ti..." He looks to Rey and the others, "You think maybe she's still alive after all these years?" It seemed to him Luke had not been here in his time looking for Jedi relics.

Yuun is keeping close to Aaryn and he helps Rey with treating her. Though as the holoimage plays, Yuun is astounded, he smiles more to himself. "Thats astral." he says smiling, "Maybe we can go there, hell maybe sneak onto Coruscant as well." eh states. He frowns as he listens to the Jedi Knight, "You did well." he says to the Jedi Knight, looking to his remains, "Now it's time for you to rest and let us take over."

Aryn was easy to manipulate in this fashion. She was not very responsive, but she could hear what was happening around her. For Aryn, it all seemed like a detailed dream, like she were drunk or a quiet passenger along for the holo-flick of this scene. Yuun and Rey's first aid was enough to staunch the bleeding for now, but she didn't answer Elrych. Not for being rude, she just couldn't focus enough to give him an answer to his question. When the messages played, and concluded, Aryn slipped into a quiet rest and favored one side to lean to. Her back slid down the wall she was up against, and she began to fall to her side. The lightsaber she held in her hand finally released and landed in her lap. Aryn knew the moment she slid into a dark place, she was suffering from a concussion.

Zan pauses, and does exactly what Rey asks, setting the cube on the table where Rey can activate it. Zan also watches quite fascinated, her gaze going to Yuun, and then to Rey. "Is there a way to respectfully - I don't know - take care of the remains?" she asks quietly. Because it rather feels like the right thing to do, she just doesn't quite recall what should be done. "And - oh stars we gotta get Aryn to some help!"

After the transmissions ended, Rey was seated with a very somber sense about her. She was lost in thought. Her eyelashes flicker though and her eyes dart up and over to Elrych. She stares at him after his questions were asked as she processes them. She then looks down toward the area between her and the table with the device. "Its unlikely." She responds about Master Shaak Ti. "She was a Jedi during the Clone Wars. I've seen her name in a number of journal entries. If she were alive... I imagine that she would've been apart of Master Skywalkers reborn academy."

Rey then sits up a little higher and glances to the others before reaching out to the device. "Still though. This will require some research. Coruscant is... likely just as the recording said. In the past. At least for now." The device is put into her satchel and she's about to respond to Zan when she notes Aryn's condition. Rey rises up then and turns around.

"Yuun, Elrych, lets get her back to the truck. We have to go now." She says then. Her eyes look over to the Jedi Knight slumped on the ground. After a moment of thought, Rey reaches back into her satchel and pulls out a small metallic object on a wrist band. A cloaked binary beacon...

Rey sets the device down onto the lap of the Jedi Knight and activates it, with a rejuvenating power source, she'll always know where this site is.

"We'll come back for him." Rey says as she stands up again and moves to lower her goggles back down over her eyes. "I'm going to trigger an avalanche and seal this place up... So lets get clear of it and back to the truck."
