[hider=Coruscant Orbit, The Excalibur] [h2][color=aba000][i][b]Coruscant Orbit, The Excalibur[/b][/i][/color][/h2] [i]After a few hours of rest, Rolin was up bright and early, waiting on the bridge as the Excalibur emerged from hyperspace above Coruscant. He gazed at the planet, scanning the skylines that made up the gigantic city planet. Admiral Millon was awake as well, and had made sure that my ship was prepared.[/i] [color=aba000][b]Admiral Millon[/b][/color]: "Your fighter is fueled and ready for launch, Masters Windu and Yoda are ready and waiting for you on the surface." [color=aba000][b]"Thank you Admiral, make sure everything we brought back is in working order, and let Bronze and the boys have some downtime on Coruscant until I return."[/b][/color] [i]Millon simply nodded, and Rolin made his way down to the hanger bay. Mechanics were making one last once-over of my fighter, making sure everything was in working order. I jumped in and hooked my visor into the main computer console, getting all the specs for it and status for everything. It felt good to be back in his fighter, as he got the green light to depart from the Excalibur. He made his way down through the Coruscant traffic until he finally caught sight of the Jedi Temple, his home.[/i] [i]He pointed his ship in the direction of the Temple Hanger Bay, where, as Millon had told him, Master Windu and Master Yoda were waiting for him. He set it down in one of the many hanger slots for the Jedi Fighters, locked her in place, and departed, bowing to his masters as he approached.[/i] [color=aba000][b]"Master Windu, Master Yoda, you sent for me? I hope this is of the utmost importance to drag me from my campaign in the Solus System."[/b][/color] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "Of grave importance, this is. Follow, you shall, to my chambers Rolin, as you Windu." [i]The old green Grand Master led the way to his private quarters near the center of the temple. The doors opened, and Yoda pointed to the chairs before sitting himself. I followed his lead, as did Windu.[/i] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "Summoned you here, I did. Grave disturbances, I sense within the force. Dragged on too long, this war has. Diminished, the Jedi Order has become. Stop the bloodshed at the source, we must." [color=aba000][b]"What are you getting at, Master?"[/b][/color] [color=92278f][b]Master Windu[/b][/color]: "We are putting together a task force to hunt down the keys to ending this conflict once and for all." [color=aba000][b]"The keys... Grievous, Dooku, and Sidious, we're finally going after them huh?"[/b][/color] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "Find them first, we must. Head of this task force, you and your legion shall be. Up to you, it is, to assemble the task force." [i]Rolin's heart skipped a beat for a moment. Out of all the Masters, Knights, and Jedi in the galaxy, they had chosen him to head up the most Important operation in the war... He was speechless. A light knock at the door drew his attention back into reality. At the door was a small youngling, about twelve years old. A female twilek.[/i] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "Ah, yes, called you here as well, I did, young Kamara. Rolin, another thing I called you for today, before you she is." [i]Rolin looked at the youngling carefully. She was nervous here, seeming quite timid. Then he looked into the force, and saw the spirit inside her.[/i] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "Yes, sensed it too, I did. Powerful, is this one, in the force." [color=aba000][b]"I already know where this is leading, Master. Is it really the best idea, in this time of war?"[/b][/color] [color=39b54a][b]Master Yoda[/b][/color]: "To learn, is a padawan's job. To teach, is their master and the galaxy around them. Dictated, this was, by the force." [color=aba000][b]"I guess I have no choice then, if the force says it's going to happen... I'll take her on as my Padawan, if that is the will of the force."[/b][/color] [i]The youngling was surprised. She had been called by Master Yoda to be down here at this exact time today. She thought he was going to help her with some trouble she was having with a new force power she had been training with. Instead, she had just been taken on as an apprentice, this was the happiest day in her life! She wouldn't show it, however, as she was still very nervous.[/i] [color=aba000][b]"So, if we are going to be Master and Padawan, It would make sense to introduce each other. I am Kelen Rolin, what is your name?"[/b][/color] [color=aba000][b]Teela Kamara[/b][/color]: "My... name is Teela, Teela Kamara." [color=aba000][b]"Well then, let's go get acquainted while I work on my new assignment. Come on, Teela."[/b][/color] [i]Rolin walked out of the room, the youngling, now Padawan, followed right behind him.[/i] [/hider] [hider=Coruscant, Jedi Temple] [h2][color=aba000][i][b]Coruscant, Jedi Temple[/b][/i][/color][/h2] [i]After leaving Yoda's quarters, Rolin learned a bit from Teela about her backstory. She was born on Ryloth a year before the Clone Wars broke out, and brought to the temple not long afterward. She was skilled for her age, and very studious, but also very shy and timid. Rolin talked a little about his past, and then they arrived at the command center in the temple.[/i] [color=aba000][b]Teela Kamara[/b][/color]: "What are we doing here?" [color=aba000][b]"You see, I've been assigned to put together a task force to hunt down the key separatist leaders behind this whole war. I need to find some other Jedi and legions that will help."[/b][/color] [i]He pulled up a detailed list of active deployments and troop locations across the Inner and Outer Rim Territories. He was looking for Jedi and Clones he knew had a good rep and were close to completing their missions.[/i] [color=aba000][b]"Hmm, Skywalker appears to have ridden Salucemi of the remaining droid presence there, he'll be good to have. Master Va'aan appears to be close to finishing off the droids on Hypori... Hmm, Master Je'and and Master Kenobi both appear to be assaulting Sarrish, wonder if I could snag one of them... I wish I could grab Master Plo or Master Tinn, but both are in mid assault on Bespin. Master Hoch hasn't been heard from since he landed on Sluiss Van... and most other units are entrenched on Outer Rim worlds..."[/b][/color] [i]He looked through to make sure he had looked at any who sparked his interest, and then he saw one name he hadn't heard in a long time...[/i] [color=f6989d][b]514th Defense Legion - General Amon Rictor[/b][/color] [b]Deployment[/b]: Rhen Var [b]Current Activities[/b]: Sent to aid the 21st Nova Corps against an ensuing Droid Assault on the Planet, successfully repelled enemy forces. [i]So his old master seems to be available... He'll be one of the Jedi to call in later. He'd made his list, and was ready to begin transmitting his messages. Most were still busy on the battlefield, so he left holomessages with their naval commanders to transmit to them later. Now that that was done, Rolin decided to take Teela down to the sparing hall to see what her skills were.[/i] [/hider]
