Starwars: Runaway

[Manic Q]

He didn't like being pushed around, physically or through the force. He wasn't going to let ANYONE do so while he was his ship.

"Listen here you bratty little punk! There are a few things you are going to have to learn about this ship. First: Only I get to boss Jorgo around. Second: When I kill a beetle, it means I am not trying to kill YOU, those things will leave a rash. And Finally, I don't care who your master is or was."

Jorgo wandered back into the area after regaining his thoughts and dealing with something outside.

"Uhm Captain, there are some troopers outside that want to take a look around for any hidden Jedi. Want me to let them in."

"Yes" He looked at the Jedi "There is a secret panel on that wall" He pointed at the spot with a free hand "wait there till I tap the wall three times. Got it?"

Without a response Maiko went to see the troopers. Even though they were nearly identity-less, Maiko liked the clone troopers, but word through the grapevine was that they would eventually be replaced with recruited soldiers. The men outside the ship were clones, he could tell, and patiently awaited his approval on entering the ship.

"Hello Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

Ralek went and hid In the wall but he was having a burning passion in his soul. He wanted to kill those clones. Slaughter them like the obident animals they were. No he couldn't. He would put the Nautolan and others in danger. He was a keeper of the peace. "Dammit Skywalker..." Ralek cursed.

"We have orders to check your ship. We have reason to believe there is a Fugitatice aboard your ship. Most likely a stowaway, but we need to search." The clone commander said. He pushed passed Maiko and Jorgo. "Men check everywhere!" The commander walked onto the ship. He looked through storage rooms everywhere. He pressed his comlink and spoke, "Anything? Reports."

[Manic Q]

"I already caught the stowaway an hour ago, threw him out like the dirty quarren he was, I don't think I would get two in one day." Maiko couldn't stop the clones from going through the ship, but he was sure they wouldn't find the panel as it was well concealed and even with close inspection it was a viable part of the wall... though that wasn't cheap.

Enough time passed as he lounged in the cockpit with the rest of his crew to where he approached the commander.

"Are we done here, Sir?" Maiko asked, standing a good foot taller than the clones. "You have been here for what could be an hour and there have been 2 shuttles that have come and gone without your inspection, and I have a client I have to meet on the other end of this rock." He could tell the commander wanted to find something, but what was not sure as he could only sense motive... "So... may we be off?"

The commander gave in and led his team to the next ship for inspection. The Yacht's hatch way shut behind them while Maiko tapped the panel thrice.

Ralek opened the panel. He got out. "They where here forever." Ralek said. He pushed away his feeling of hate and then asked, "Is there a place where I can meditate?" Ralek had things on his mind he needed to ponder. Something at Korribon was drawing him there. He knew that it once held the sith academy before the Jedi Civil War but what else is there? Was that the place he needed to go?

[Manic Q]

"Before you go anywhere, you need to listen to me. I am not going to that planet, you couldn't pay me enough money to go that way. If you want me to keep you hidden, you are going to stick with me and my crew. That means: You do as I say, you don't twist Jorgo's mind, and you know that no matter my actions I have thought them through. Can you deal with that or do we get to drop you off at the next sarlac pitt?" He really didn't want the Jedi's money, he had a debt to the Jedi he needed to settle a long time ago... then again there were still a few things he needed back s well.

For a moment his mind was in another place, with another person, she had his full attention and he had hers... but in an instant they were seperated and she was gone. He would have been lost without the help of a nearby group of Jedi.

[ice23652365]

"You don't like Korribon. It seems you have a history with it. Anger, fear and loss happened there. It's hell for a Jedi. Barley any have been able to face the temptations to turn to the dark side there. Revan being one of them. Now I will agree to your terms as long as we stay in outer rim plantes or go to Onderon."

[Manic Q]

"I don't want to go to Korriban because I know history and what is there, I haven't been there before, new rule: stay out of my head." Maiko marched off, now trying to protect his thoughts. "Jorgo, make a route to Bolly's as he is expecting us in in the next hour."

"Right, Sir." Jorgo went off to the Cockpit while Maiko continued to his quarters.

He closed the door behind him and went looking for her picture. He couldn't remember the last time he looked at it... where did she go? Was she alive? Was she still there? HE could never know.

[ice23652365]

Ralek found an area where he could meditate. All he heard was pain and suffering. He couldn't bare it. He started to get angry again but he held it in. Anger is not the way of the Jedi. He decied to sleep since it been a long time he been able to. He fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

In his dream he was at the Jedi temple. Dead Jedi rose blaming him. "No I had to. No not my fault" he moaned. The approached him. "You should of
Died here." they said. "No!" He yelled but this time he actually used his voice.

[Manic Q]

Maiko opened the door to the Jedi's new room, he had screamed out something. He looked in, not sure if he was awake or still sleeping. "Hey, Ralek, we have some food in the diner if you are hungry. It's on the second floor, you can find it by following the smell of food."

He had already eaten, having started his rounds after some alone time with an old friend. He would have to drop it all, one day, and go looking for her... but he didn't have that privilege now.

[ice23652365]

Ralek wasn't hungry. He walked up to the dinning area anyways. He looked at the food. It reminded him when he was on board a Republic Warship during the war. His master was teaching him how to be a battle tactician. Ralek didn't like it though. He liked making things up as he went along. He got in trouble with the council for that once.

(Not much to say. Sorry. We need to move a long.)
