Log:Jedi Order: What Was Lost Part 2
A portion of the Jedi break off to being searching the Praxeum and its many winding ways. Danger comes in many forms.
OOC Date: February 9, 2022
Location: Ossus
Participants: Vhe Tenara herself and GM, Chani Tahn, Zandra naMuriel, Yuun, Rey Skywalker, Ax
The group at large has split in order to explore the Praxeum that remains mostly a mystery to those gathered. There is little to no information on the details of the structure but hundreds if not thousands of years have seen it buried beneath collected soil and dust and many of its branching hallways lead to dead ends where the path is simply - non existent anymore. Perhaps with time they can be unearthed but there is no real focus for the moment on extensive excavation. There is hope they will find what they have come for in the intact portions of the Praxeum.
As the group turns into a larger room with a domed ceiling partially caved in there is that odd sense of being watched again. Several pillars take up positions and disappear into the shadowed expanses, barely illuminated as very little illumination filters down through the paned ceiling.
Vhe pauses at the beginning of the room and as the group as a hole enters fully into the room there is a grating sound and a shudder beneath their feet. As walls rise up around them in various directions the way behind them is closed off as well. The pillars disappear as walls of stone connect them and before them, only one way in.
A maze.
Vhe looks to the others before she cautiously steps forward.
What starts as an exploratory study of the inside of the Praxeum turns into Chani's dark hair snap-flicking against one shoulder and then the next. Her dark eyes go to Vhe, to Yuun, to Rey, and the deep creases between her brows stands out as wrinkles in her otherwise smooth skin. "Did one of you say something?" Her voice peaks up near the end, painting inquisition with marks of hope when she questions her fellow Jedi. The next snap-flick of that ponytail sees Chani's gaze moving to a spot where no one is standing, and the young Naboo native exhales at the same time that the arms resting at her sides ease farther apart from her robe. Her hands angle up until her palms are angled at the ground, and a shift in her center of gravity sets Chani in a pose that is, at the very least, defensive in nature.
"I'm..," Chani trails off, head tilting to the side and gaze squinting shut behind naturally curled lashes that are sunk together against one another. She frowns again. Concentration. "I'm hearing things. A test. Skill. A test of skill." She speaks in broken pacing, clearly trying to piece the words together as they come at her. "A path? Walk the path to test your skill? A skill?" Her frown doesn't alleviate. Her eyes open and her head rights itself. "There's something ahead. Something in the Force, but nothing I can see. It sounded like the voices were all around me."
Zan walks along with the group, keeping her senses alert and paying attention as much as she can. It's still creepy here, no denying that. As they arrive near the maze, her steps slow, and her eyes widen. She shakes her head, and then a second time. One hand rises to rub at her temple and then she says, her voice not much more than a whisper, "Do you all hear that? It's like there are people here whispering." She takes a breath, still really listening. "I think this is - was? - is a test. I'm not sure what it's testing, but walking the path is a test and there's something ahead echoing in the Force. It seems like it might be central to the room."
Zan adds, "And I think we're being watched again."
Yuun moves along with the group, his eyes wander through the praxeum as they move through it. The dark skinned jedi moved with quiet steps, not going for stealth but cautious in nature. Yuun studies the area, including the dark recesses they move past, he notices Chani look towards him, "I don't hear anything but I sense something." he says to her.
Yuun senses something calling to him, he takes a breath, and he closes his eyes to focus. Hearing Chani he nods his head, "Calm." he says in a soft tone. Glancing to Zan, he feels that her and Chani and Zan are right, "We will walk it together, be prepared." he says.
Rey is of course turning to watch them all get sealed in to this new series of corridors. She raises up a hand, but its too late, whats done is done.
Tentatively she drops her hand back down to her side, and then reaches up to adjust her satchel on her shoulder. "Wonderful." She quietly says, before like the others, she turns to listen to the sound, and feel the tingling presence of a Force beyond their impacts upon the energy around them.
"I hear it too." She softly say, before nodding to them all. "Lets keep going, we'll have to find another way out, hopefully... but, lets try and make sure to remember our way back here, just in case..."
A soft exhale leaves Vhe. "It was the home of Jedi and if you consider how we train. If you are hearing correctly, to get whatever is within we are going to need to ...follow the path..." it is nearly a question and as Vhe steps forward she demonstrates just how not easy it is! The walls turn as soon as she does and she disappears from view as another entrance opens up to allow the others in. The surprised sound she makes is cut off and the Ysanna is now alone in what appears to be an every changing maze.
That opening lays ahead, staring at them all if waiting for them to dare to try.
The stone walls are old, pitted but their function is mechanical and its somewhere deep beneath the very room's flooring. They are down one member.
"I hate it," Chani mutters the moment Vhe disappears. Sucking in a deep breath through her nose, Chani exhales it through parted lips. Exhaling comes with a subtle noise, both in her head and to those around her. "Trust in the Force.." Opening herself up to the symbiotic relationship she has with the universe, Chani turns her inner ear towards its influence. Its whispers. Her midi-chlorians reach out to commune with all others and Chani steps forward, moving cautious with soft scuffs from her bootfalls carrying out louder in the open room because of their reverberating echo. She doesn't reach for her lightsaber, but instead moves forward at a steady pace. She's tempering her nervousness and her fear and walks not hunched donw, but with her head high. Even if she is on alert.
"Vhe!" Zan calls, startled as the Ysanna is cut off. "Be careful," she says a little tightly, but whether she's speaking to herself or to Vhe or - well, it's hard to say. "Together as much as we can. We are a team." She tucks her worry for Vhe away, nodding to Chani's words. "Right. Trust in the Force," she agrees. She lets one hand rest on her lightsaber hilt, but doesn't draw it. Instead she moves forward, staying close to Chani if she can. "Right, so this is worse than Rey's tree top obstacle courses on Rori?" she puts in, trying to lighten the mood just a bit. "We can do this." So, forward she goes, step by step. The mechanical movements vibrate the floor when they happen, and Zan finds herself a bit amused. "I can't believe this is still working though. How do they build something to last how many thousands of years?"
Yuun is able to move quick enough to keep from being split from the others, but he sees Vhe disappears, "We will find her." he says to the others. His breath quickens, he looks in the direction that Vhe disappeared from them. He looks to the rest of them, his eyes taking them all in, he isn't good with words but with action and he turns to look ahead. "I'm one with the Force, the Force is with me." he says remembering hearing that phrase from Bizz and Syrus before he turned. Letting out a breath, "We can do this, we trust in the force and we trust in one another and Vhe, she will make it." he says to them. "Let's go." he says also steps forward. "I don't know, but this is amazing."
Rey calls out Vhe's name, but their companion is swallowed up by this place before they can do anything about it. This vexxes Rey quite alot as she reaches for her satchel, and fishes out a chem-light stick. Its activated and tossed on the floor beside the entrance to which Vhe was swallowed up behind.
Rey watches where the others are going and hurries to catch up with them. "Just in case." She mutters as she does so, her eyes scanning over them quickly before she regards where they're headed next.
"Places like this were built by the best architects they had at their fingertips. We might be worried, though, if parts of this are not functioning, any longer..." Whatever that implies!
Ax's first trip to Ossus was at least interesting. He'd mostly just kept his eyes open and his mouth shut for once, taking in the sights and scenery of the planet which was so important to Jedi history. It was a miracle that he wasn't cut off from the majority of the group as things went into chaos. A maze? Who uses mazes these days? Oh yeah, this is aeons old.
"The force will help us get through this," Ax says, just trying to enforce the belief. He didn't doubt it, especially given the present company of adept wielders of the force, the only question was how this setup was done, the only thing he knew of the Jedi of this time period is what little bit is left in some dusty old texts.
The way before them remains the same but there is a shuddering grating sound further inside this maze of stone walls. The path turns sharply at ninety degress to the left, urging them curther into the mess of moving walls and unknown obstacles. Its a blinde turn that then takes another sharp turn in a one eighty, the path wide enough for them all. The five remain together and Vhe is somewhere finding her own path - hopefully.
There is the whir of something in the dark depths of the ceiling overhead, faint movement in the air above them. Whatever it is there is a sudden tingle down some of their spines. But for what reason is unknown.
The maze is doing its best to make them guess, make them uncertain, force them to try to control their instincts and mreasure them against the calm of the Force.

There is a grating sound suddenly to their right and what used to be a solid wall is no more. It shoves its way towards them along their sides, threatening to crush them against the opposite wall. Pieces crumble and fall away, the age of the place having worn away at once used to be a stalwart testing room. It slams into the opposite wall with a loud thunder clap and more chunks falling off. This in turn changes their path and it moves them to the right, another turn ahead.
"Rey had a tree top obstacle course on Rori? You guys willingly spent time on Rori? Doing exercise?" Chani keeps her voice low. Attempts to, anyway. The echoing nature of the chamber they're in tends to carry it along farther than she wants it to. Chani was not yet with the Jedi Order during such a time. "By using the Force, I think. If I guessed. I've heard there are Jedi that can touch things and destroy them. It sounds completely unbelievable, but..," Chani shrugs. "I came across it while reading in the library. Just a reference. Probably poorly translated. A Jedi made a whole stone wall crumble by touching it in the right place. I'm sure there was more to it than that. Sometimes it's hard to separate what's anecdotal and what's fiction in there." Chani trails off and Rey fills in the silence that comes after with something that sounds as ominous as Chani looks at the moment. Almost as soon as the words have left the Paragon's mouth, a loud grinding of stone grinding on stone makes Chani half-turn to the right. "Watch out!" She calls to the others while already rushing to get out of the way of the two walls trying to crush themselves together. There's little chance to consciously pick an option. She moves on instinct, diverging from the path she'd been heading on and finding herself veering to the right. "Rey? Zandra?" She doesn't want to look behind her when something could come at her from the front at the moment.
"Right," Zan starts to reply to Chani. There's that tingle at the back of her neck. "'Ware!" is all she has time to say. She's not the first to figure it out, but she does get there. "Oh, here we go," she murmurs, as the wall comes flying at them! She about parkours up the one, and then summersaults in midair, landing on her feet, not far from Chani. She looks to make sure that everyone is okay - or not - but evenly says, "We've not been on Rori in quite some time, but we were there with Black Squadron and Rogue." Just to answer the question, as she keeps her balance, hands outstretched in a fashion that most will recognize. "I'm here. Yuun, Ax, Rey?" She's with Chani, she knows that much. "Are they really trying to kill their students?" she asks, sounding incredulous.
Yuun doesn't sense any further danger, but then again one also need to rely on their natural senses and well as he moves he listens to Chani as she speak, "Really?" he asks. "I've been a little laxed in my reading, I may have to spend more time in the library like I did when I was on Devaron for a while." he says to her. Yuun glances back to Rey and Ax to check on them, he smiles a little bit and he turns to look where he is going.
The grating sound catches Yuun's attention but he didn't sense the danger and as the wall pushes, Yuun goes with it disappearing from sight. He is able to roll and adjust as he lands where ever he lands. He looks around for a moment taking stock of his position as best he can.
[ Rey Skywalker (Ry)]
"Rori was the first test bed of the obstacle course. I refined it much better on Ajan Kloss..." Rey quietly says as she keeps her senses pealed to try and track Vhe's presence through the Force, to keep tabs on her. But when that rushing sound of stone against stone occurs, she starts to run like the others. "Go, go, go!" She says, being beside Yuun, she is running up the wall just as she sees him get carried away by it, having to shout his name out too as she drops back down on the safe side, before stumbling backward a few steps.
She breathes heavily now, looking to the others. "This is madness.... but if its meant for training, I don't think its trying to ..." She leaves her words at that, her eyes closing to sense Yuun and Vhe now.
Rey shakes her head and opens her eyes again. "Surely this will have us all meet up at... at an end point, of some kind..."
"I'm here," Ax says, still amazed at how this stuff works. "I gotta say, this is pretty damned awesome. Creepy but cool. I'm sure everyone is alright, we'll make it through this." With another getting seperated from the pack, he sure hoped he was right.
Yuun now stares at a dimly lit corridor himself and at the end, just as he is picking himself up there is a roar. A roar that echoes as suddenly a wall of water rushes towards him and in front of it is Vhe. She heads right for him, trying to beat the sudden oncoming onslaught. As she reaches him she turns and faces what is to come as they are both at a dead end. "Together..." she pants out and holds up her hands to use the Force and with it pushes back against the water, creating an opposite press of unseen opposition.
The other group, now but four are met with a long hall with a strange glitterng floor. It is the only way they can go and the maze will not change unless they move. Forward or no where else. The glittering on the floor is shifting, spreading in their direction and as it connects with dust and bits of rock alike it sizzles and snaps.
"What is that?!" Chani tries to backpedal, but she underestimates the speed with which the sparking, glittering substance on the floor is moving. When it touches her, the effect seems to be instantaneous. She doesn't just lock up in place, she screams, as if suddenly in unimaginable pain. That shrieking, piercing cry lasts as long as it takes for the labryinth's moving walls to smack against her and send her plummeting to somewhere different entirely. She lands in a heap, hard exhaling in a grunt and not even bothering to get up at first. The pain is gone as immediately as it existed, but the memormy of it lingers on in her head, and it's almost as if she's afraid to move. She tentatively moves a foot, and then a hand. She moves as if she's afraid anything sudden will suddenly bring that sensation back. She's breathing hard and a cold sweat has broken out on her skin from that moment. "That wasn't pleasant." In the span of a few seconds, she seems to have been separated from everyone but Zandra. "Did the pain get you, too?"
Such success at the moving wall only to be met by a glittering floor. Zan stares at it uncomprehendingly for a moment. And then the heat starts to sizzle at her feet and she concentrates, trying to not freak out at the pain slicing at her. She hears Chani's scream and it gets a baleful look from the violet haired jedi at the room in general. A scowl even. "Okay, this is crazy," she comments, loudly. "Also, owowowowowow." There's a moment as she realizes that Chani is not moving, and though Zan is able to move through the pain through sheer force of will, she moves with Chani, to her side and then when the walls change, the floor moves - or was it the other way around? She is there with the other woman, pausing to feel the relief of her feet no longer burning. "You okay?" she asks, softly. The question about the pain gets a rueful nod from Zan. She actually plops down momentarily to check the bottom of her feet. Still in one piece. Okay then. A deep sigh. "You and me now, and I guess we keep following the path until we meet back up with the others."
Seeing Vhe rush towards him as he gets up, Yuun doesn't hesitate as he throws out his right hand and he exterts himself through the force. Using the Force to help provide that opposite press against the water. He doesn't think on this, they had to focus on this and as he pushes against the water, "Are you ok!?" he asks as he focuses most of his attention on the pressing water. He couldn't take his attention off the water and Vhe for anything else at the moment, he waits to hear from her and he tries to move forward a step to aid in pushing the water back.
Rey feels a twinge of the pain from the strange dust before she realizes whats going on. "This madness. Run. Again!" She shouts before she looks over her shoulder to see Chani and Zandra now being threatened to get swept away! She shouts again and rushes toward them this time, intending to go with them, but she's not fast enough, and the pair are gone.
Rey stands amongst the strange painful dust, just accepting it, as she looks frazzled by all of this. Her hand goes down to her hip to pick up her saber from under her satchel...
Ax might have to reign her in a bit, as she's just standing there, letting the 'pain glitter' hit her bare arms and face, and her exposed ankles from her stylish capri pants.
"Ooooh... Hot hot!" Ax exclaims before instincts kick in and he's moving at preternatural speed through the overcharged heat wave, all the while his mind is pushing the pain aside. Of course, it looked like he and Rey were the last of the group to get to this point.
Looking to Rey, Ax raises an eyebrow. "I know this is some kind of twisted challenge, and I'm all for the games and such, but it's also really damned old and likely in pretty bad shape in some places. Can you sense the others through the force and feel if they're ok? I've got a pretty healthy competitive streak, but not when it comes to leaving allies in a dangerous situation. This might be a bit of an advanced test for some of our rank." Maybe pushing a bit of compassion will rattle the Paragon out of her... whatever it was she was experiencing. They all had their demons to bear, after all. "And get the hell out of the ancient torture dust."
Vhe falters in the Force and it is Yuun that manges to command it enough to hold off the sudden rush of water that meets it. "Well enough, few surprises but I am moving still. Yuun's use of the Force pushes the water back it rushes up the sides of the walls and then begins to settle, sloshing back and forth before finally starting to drain out some unseen location till it becomes nothing but a damp memory, making the ground beneath them slick and treacherous. But the moment the water leaves they are slid forward by the press of another wall, urging them back the way Vhe had come but with a sudden left turn that leads them into darkness. Plunging them into an inkiness for which they can not easily find their way.
Chani and Zandra have a moment to breathe before there is a snarling from the opposite end of their own corridor. Around the far corner - the way they must go stands a creature with fangs bared. It does not rush them immediately but watches with wariness as it lowers itself into a pouncing position, tail up and ears back. The only direction is to go forward and whether this was an intended portion or not is hard to tell. The poor creature just could have gotten caught in the age old maze.
Rey have one more corner to turn and before them is a rise, a set of stairs that draw them upwards and towards a pedastal. It is a small overseeing room that can see the entire maze and a set of controls before them. Its archaic, confusing and not at all intuitive. But the buttosn are worn by age and some show signs of being used over others. From here they can see Vhe and Yuun thrown into darkness while Chani and Zan face down a beast. From a distance through transparisteel glass ceilings.
"Thoughts?" Chani asks aside to Zandra, body tensed up not from the animal, but from the shock she'd experienced a few moments before. The very passage of air across her skin, in that brief moment, is enough to make her muscles tense up. She's distracted. She's expecting the pain again at any second and trying to brace against it and the subconscious, unintelligent part of her instinctive mind refuses to let go of the idea that it'll happen any second. She breathes through her nose in quick, sharp inhales and exhales. She notices, then, that the beast seems focused soley on Zandra and that Zandra is focused intently on it, too. Without saying another word, Chani moves slowly forward. She makes no sudden moves. She does no sudden things. She simply starts to slip by the creature, ensuring not to expose herself vulnerably. The only way to go forward is through a turn, though Chani casts a quick glance back when grating stone rises behind them and blocks off whatever beast had been there. Eyes forward, she gazes on a completely new room. "Good job back there. I've not yet tried to communicate with animals through the Force."
Out of the frying pan into the - "What is that thing?" Zan asks, a little bit alarmed. She looks to Chani briefly, but then holds a hand out to the beast. At Chani's question, Zan smiles. "The Force is with us," she murmurs. "Hold one moment." She reaches out with the Force, towards the animal with soothing thoughts, and it hesitates, ears lifting just a bit. That bring s a grin to Zan. "Quickly now, run past it like the wind," she says softly to Chani. Zan moves slowly towards the beast, intently focused, and waits for Chani to slip past, before she too does, sending a parting friendly 'good critter' to the beast behind as the wall slams shut between them. "Thank you. It's an interesting skill to learn as we progress. I'm glad I've spent some time on this one, and will perhaps work on it some more, after this." She looks back at the wall, hoping it's still solid, and then she looks at the new room. "Is that a holoprojector?"
The darkness is all consuming but he knew that with darkness there is light as well. Attuning himself to the Force, Yuun is able to shift his sight to infra red, as he does he notices the gaps on the ground and when he does notice this, he sees that Vhe is about to step on one. He quickly moves and stops her, "If you don't want a long fall, maybe not that way." he says to her. "Follow me." he says as he then guides them across the room they are in.
Rey was concerned for the other JEdi, but Ax manages to shake her out of it. She shakes her head. "I can't tell." She says back to him then as they progress onward out of the sands of burny.
When they reached that raised platform that overlooks the maze, her suspicions are confirmed. "It's like a child's game... but... bigger." She mutters before she glances to Ax, and walks over to the control switches. "I..." Rey starts to speak as she tries to read what is etched in to the board. "These two." She says, motioning to her non saber holding hand, as she spares a look up, able to see glimpses of their companions off in the maze, in trouble. She looks to Ax then. "I think these two. But I'm not sure."
Making their way to the observation room, Ax pauses to reach out with the force, feeling the adrenaline-fueled thoughts of the others. "I think it would be a good idea to hurry," he says to Rey, rushing up the remaining stairs and into what looks like a control room. This causes the Echani to pause. "What the...."
Taking a second to collect his thoughts, but only a second as the others were definitely in peril, he moves to the controls. He doesn't press any buttons, just resting a hand upon them and opening himself up to view the past. This had proven to be an amazing skill at determining which of his two children were responsible for the mess, or figuring out what his pet tailring did with whatever shiny thing went missing around the house or his wife's shop, a skill he'd gotten rather adept at.
"Rey," he says, gesturing towards a pair of worn buttons. "There's a pattern," he continues, his eyes still closed. We can power up the holoprojector with one, shut down the maze with the other..."
Ax then, with eyes still closed, mimics the gestures used by an ancient Jedi or testing officer, of the proper pattern, as if he were reliving an act done countless times. Not pushing the buttons himself, but showing Rey the order in which he witnessed, letting her decide the protocol to initiate.
Vhe feels air beneath her foot just in time for Yuun to stop her perilous step into nothingness. She knows the direction to go but just not what is beneath her. Thankfully her counterpart has a clear vision of what is going on beneath her feet. "Understood, lead the way." She does not hesitate in taking the offer of being led through the troubling portion and as they leave the abnormal inky blackness that had blinded them, Vhe blinks at the sudden adjustment and stares at Chani and Zan. "Good, you are here as well but...where are Ax and Rey?" Vhe looks troubled as she turns about, trying to see if they are going to pop out somewhere.
What goes on overhead between Rey and Ax results in a ruckus below. The walls begin to shake and lower, rumbling as they drop from their position to meld with the floor or the outside walls of the massive room itself. There are damp spots and bits of rock that had crumbled free and one wall does not quite fit back where it went.
The projector comes to life and Togrutan in robes stands before those below. "Well done padawans. We have achieved this trial by your own skill or working as a group. Either way you have come through by making correct choices and performing quickly which is often what we face when we travel through the galaxy. You may continue on to the holocron archive where a librarian will help guide you through our greatest masters' gifts." She lifts her blue ghost like hand to motion towards a door at the far end of where they had entered as it slides open, one side broken as it is caught and tries with a hissing sound to continue to open.
It echoes within the large room. The observation tower connects with the floor still by the stairs that Rey and Ax had taken up. "No wonder Setis did not get very far."
There's no hiding the sense of relief on Chani's face when she and Zandra encounter Vhe, but by the time the holographic image of the Jedi in the robes has vanished, it's sombered into something else. "You think she was unable to find the archives because she couldn't figure out the labryinth? That's a powerful labyrinth if it managed to keep out a trained Sith." Chani changes her attention from the holorprojector to the opening doors. "Well, can't say this was my faovirte outing, but at least it was educational." A positive takeaway with a small smattering of sarcasm sprinkled in at the start. Chani heads for the doors, still cautious, but also intrigued by what intricate mysteries might lay beyond. Jedi holocrons from ages and ages ago? Interesting might not be a strong enough word for anyone to use.
"Vhe! Yuun!" Zan's relief flows through her, through the Force, and then it settles as she returns to a more peaceful hum. "We got separated from Ax and Rey by the sizzling hot floor," she remarks. "Hopefully they're okay - since they're not here. Are you two okay?" She's looking still reasonably together, though her hair may be a little bit loose in it's usual braid, starting to come unravelled. As the holocron starts, Zan turns to regard the speaker, holoprojector though it is, and a brow arches. "Maybe some of it is about what choices are made-not just getting through but whether a choice is made to kill or to bypass for instance, with that beast?" Zan shrugs, not sure. She looks around though, hoping to figure out where Ax and Rey are. Realization that the walls have returned to base more or less has her breathe a little easier. "There are also stairs over there?" she says, since they have a better view now. She heads towards the way that the togrutan pointed them, but not really quickly. Still looking for their missing two team mates.
It takes Yuun a few moments to adjust from darkness to light and he too covers his eyes and takes a few moments to clear his vision. He smiles when he sees Zan and Chani, "Hey." he smiles, his heart relieved in seeing them. He looks around where they are and as he does he looks back to Zan, "Yeah, we're still alive." he chuckles as he looks to his friend, "I'm glad you two are ok." he says to Zan and Chani.
He readies to say something, but when the holoprojector starts up, he listens and turns and looks towards the library, "Honestly, this was good for us, I wonder what we will find here in the library and what holocrons we will find if any." he says as he looks to those near him.
Rey takes Ax's advice and pushes the buttons in the order indicated. She looks over to him with raised eyebrows as a rumbling starts to take place, but then the holo image draws her attention and she pulls her hand back from the switches. It seemed to work.
"Nicely done." She tells the Echani beside her before she moves toward the direction they need to go. She tucks her saber back in to the hiding spot behind her satchel and starts to descend toward the ground where she can run to catch up with the others they got seperated from.
"And I thought my training regiment for all of you was bordering on cruel..." Shejests with them as she appears, "I think we've stumbled across quite the elaborate, and morally questionable training facility. But a holocron library? That sounds promising..."
Ax follows Rey down after the two had powered down the maze and kicked the holoprojector into gear. "This was pretty damned intense, I'd like to see if it has other protocols and tests," he says with a grin. "I mean, we could have something even better than a library, a physical test to push your boundaries and abilities. Nothing works better than training with real applications rather than just book work."
As the two draw nearer the others. "Glad everyone made it out ok. Nice work, all." He reaches under the shawl on his outfit and pulls out a pink sippy cup, raising it in a 'toast' gesture before taking a sip of the amber liquid inside. "Now, I guess we should find this library. Wonder if there are any Echani Jedi masters we could learn from."
