A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....



It is a time of peace within the galaxy. The evil Sith Empire has been defeated, ending a long, brutal war. The brave Jedi, guardians of peace throughout the galaxy are victorious. The Republic prospers, expanding across the galaxy.

Unbeknownst to many, a dark cult, Okussus, has slowly amassed power in the far reaches of space. The group is lead by a powerful former Jedi master, turned Dark Jedi and has launched several raids on neighboring worlds. Fearing a panic across its systems, the Republic quietly implements a task force filled with chosen Jedi and handpicked Republic soldiers.

The evil cult has gathered its own forces, skilled mercenaries, bounty hunters and slavers alike have pledged their loyalty to Okussus. Several Dark Jedi that have left behind their former order have also taken up arms in the faction. The threat of this new group must be ended or the Republic risks entering into another destructive war....

Discord

The Rise of Okussus is a Star Wars RP taking place in the year 1028 BBY. The Sith have been defeated, and gone into hiding, the rule of two enacted. The Empire has fallen, and the Galactic Republic is an idea slowly being built, but that has not ended the threats to the peace of the Galaxy. Darkness can rise anywhere, at any time, and this time has taken the form of a Dark Jedi Cult on the planet Ashal deep in Wild Space. Players will be taking on the roles of either Jedi, and the Republic military seeking to thwart the Dark Jedi cult, or Dark Jedi, and the mercenaries/bounty hunters/Slavers working with the cult of Okussus.

Being that this RP is taking place in the Old Republic setting, there may be points that uses the Old EU (Legends) while at other points things stick to the New EU (Canon). Ultimately this Rp is created by myself, and @Heat and is a labor of love, we take a lot of stock in the Star Wars Universe considering ourselves true fans, and hope to share this with you as players to interact in one of the greatest Sci-fi settings ever devised. We welcome you to join us in Star Wars: Rise of Okussus!

The Planet Ashal

Ashal is an old World, having been inhabited by multiple force users of many walks of life before due to its strong presence in the force. Though any thoughts of civilization have long left this planet, leaving it with only a select few ports, and small trading outposts, the planet is thick with jungles, and animals, and ancient temple ruins dating back to a time no one can tell of. The Dark Jedi have taken refuge in some of these temples, as they seem to be searching, and working towards something, while the Republic has set up base in a port called The Husk, due to the fact that the port is built inside the bones of a long dead giant creature.

Factions:

Jedi Task Force

Jedi Task Force

Jedi tasked with bringing in, or eliminating the threat of the Okussus Dark Jedi Cult, these Jedi are Padawans, and Knights that have shown repeatedly their ability to fight the darkside, and succeed. The knights are likely to be holdovers from the Jedi - Sith war, which only ended four years prior. Unfortunately due to a lacking number of Masters, none were able to attend the Task force, but the Council feels that the mission is in good hands.

The Republic

The Republic

The Republic is in shambles and rebuilding, expanding, after the wars that ravaged it in the decades past, though it was still strong enough to muster men, and women willing to combat the threats that endanger the relative peace the Galaxy is currently in. The mission is considered top secret, and each of the soldiers have been handpicked for it. The Jedi leading the force these commandos consider themselves to be doing the work of the Lightside, and remember the brave way the Jedi fought for everyone against the Sith. This is a Sub-faction of the Jedi Task Force, and reports directly to the Jedi leading them.

Okussus

Okussus

This newly founded group sprung up within the last year, lead by Ideon Donnall, a former Jedi master who mysteriously fell to the dark side. Holding no affiliation with the fallen Sith order, Okussus is partly comprised of several Dark Jedi who have pledged themselves to the cult. These fallen Jedi are ones that left the Jedi Order through differing circumstances, no matter how they left that Order, they are all united under the Okussus banner. These Dark Jedi have fully embraced the Force, not binding themselves to the rules of the Jedi Order.

Alongside these dark Jedi are the talented foot soldiers that have also joined the group. These consist of mercenaries, bounty hunters and slavers, many of these individuals having joined due to the amount of credits Okussus has acquired in their existence. There are also other soldiers who joined for non monetary reasons. The resources of the faction are quite deep considering the short period they have existed, they are said to have acquired war droids, vehicles, starfighters, tanks and armored walkers which aide in their mysterious goals. In Republic space the group is not known by their name to the public, only reports of raids and assaults on nearby sectors have reached Republic space. Many citizens simply brush it off as new of raider or slaver attacks.

Their true intentions and goals are not known to the Republic. What they seek to achieve is a mystery to anyone who is not in the group.

Faction Leads
Jedi/Republic Task Force Lead

Jedi/Dark Jedi CS

Name – Vasha Taal

Species - Togruta

Sex - Female

Age – 27

Faction- Jedi Task Force

Rank – Jedi Knight (Task Force Lead)

Appearance – Standing about 5’7 Vasha has a fit build from all the typical jedi training, and then some. Her unique skin pigmentations have brought her quite a bit of admiration and curiosity from other Togruta, though other species tend to not notice.

Character Image

Apparel – Vasha tends to wear typical Togruta attire, usually consisting of animal skins, and pelts primitively cut into loin cloths and tops. She also enjoys wearing the occasional jewelry across her montrals, but that is only when she not on mission.

Lightsaber(s) – Vasha carries a single staff saber, green in color.

Equipment – A rebreather, communicator, and a bacta stimpack

Force Powers –
Force Push- Expert
Force Pull- Expert
Force Healing- Intermediate
Force Sense- Master (Combining the force with her natural echolocation makes her all the more skilled at sensing the world around her.
Force Protection bubble- intermediate
Force Inspire-Beginner
Force Light- Beginner

Known Lightsaber Forms –
Shii Cho- Expert
Makashi- Intermediate
Soresu- Beginner
Niman- Master

Skills –
Acrobatics- She is trained extensively in using leaps and bounds to get where she needs to, able to balance herself easily on narrow edges, and to find her way through small passages.
Tracking- Being that Togruta are natural predators it goes without saying that Vasha is capable of tracking her enemies near and far.
Leadership: She has a knack for leading, and manages to inspire those who she does lead.

Flaws –
Naïve- Vasha is naïve in the idea that she believes she can redeem anyone, that no one has ever fallen too far they cannot be saved.
Caring- Vasha is extremely caring of those that she is close to, especially other Jedi, and when she fears for their safety it can cause her to act irrationally.

Personality – Naïve Vasha still seems to have her head in the clouds when it comes to her ideals and belief that there is good in everyone. Though she is fiercely loyal to those she considers her friends and allies, and would do anything for them. Regardless of being a Jedi and suppressing emotions Vasha has a tendency to wear her heart on her sleeve regardless, though she will always act with good intentions, these good intentions are sometimes the wrong path due embracing of her emotions. She is a creature of sociality and enjoys being around others, and disdains being alone, always seeking out the company of a friend.

Backstory – Vasha like most Jedi was brought into the order at a very young age, her ability to learn quickly garnered her several knights and Masters looking to take her under their wing, though only one Master did she truly feel a connection with, Ideon Donnall. As Vashal became his, the Jedi Master’s Padawan she flourished as she hadn’t when she was a youngling, and as her powers, and abilities grew so did her independence. Ideon would frequently send her on missions all her own, and was able to trust in her to be successful in these tasks. Several times during the War with the Sith Vasha saved Ideon, and vice versa, their exploits together quite the achievements when facing the sith forces.

It wasn’t long before she was considered old enough, and trained enough to take her trials, and when she did she passed with flying colors, and gained the rank of Jedi Knight. It was then that she would begin working on her own though she would often seek Ideon’s advice when she was unsure. Vasha would also frequently take trips to her homeworld, aiding her people while there, and embracing the culture of her species. Though there were many times when the Council would call upon her for her combat proficiency to seek out Fallen Jedi who had turned to the dark side, and while she believed she could save them all, at times she did slay them.

When Ideon disappeared Vasha began to search for him far and wide, worried about her Master, but when she found out where he was and what she was doing she couldn’t believe it. For months she begged the council to let her contact Ideon to find out why he was doing this and to let her bring him in. Eventually they conceded to her requests and put together a task force to put down the Cult, placing Vasha in charge to try and bring in Ideon in.

Cult of Okossus Lead

Ideon Donnall, leader of Okussus

Ideon Donnall

Species - Human

Sex - Male

Age - 54

Faction - Okussus leader

Rank - former Jedi Master

Appearance - Ideon is a tall, imposing figure, standing 190.5 cm. He has an athletic frame, constant training has given him with the build of a man half his age. His skin is a darker brown shade, his eyes were a formerly similar brown color but due to his exposure to the Dark Side they have changed into a fiery orange. His black hair is buzzed short and he has grown a light beard on his face. Scars dot his body, a small one notably sits below his left eye.

Apparel - Ideon is most often clad in a dark grey Jedi robe, with finely made leather boots and gloves. Hard leather armored pads are on the shoulders of his outer robe, and the inner tunic is made of hardened fibers. His signature lightsaber typically sits holstered on his belt when not in use. The Dark Jedi has been known to switch to a set of Jedi armor when in more serious combat situations, it is a holdover from his days fighting in the Jedi–Sith war.

Lightsaber(s) - Ideon wields a single lightsaber, one he handbuilt himself decades ago. The blade was formerly a blue color, but has been switched to a red one.

Equipment - Ideon also carries several thermal detonators, a commlink and a grappling hook.

Force Powers - An extremely talented user of the Force, Ideon knows and is trained in several powers. Most of his powers are at a master level.

• The basic Jedi powers such as telekinesis and jump.
• Chain Lightning
• Force Choke
• Tutaminis
• Telekinetic Whirlwind
• Comprehend Speech
• Force Rage

Known Lightsaber Forms - As a highly talented Jedi Master he made it a goal to be at least knowledgeable with all seven forms of lightsaber combat. While Ideon is not at master level with all forms, he does have knowledge of every one, knowing ways to properly counter each of them.

• Shii-Cho - The first form he learned, is at master level with it.
• Makashi - at an advanced level.
• Soresu - at a proficent level.
• Ataru - at an advanced level.
• Shien/Djem So - He has mastered Djem So, preferring it but has knowledge of Shien.
• Niman - He almost never uses the form in combat, and its probably his weakest but he has knowledge of the form and how to counter it.
• Juyo - He has mastered this form, its the one he most often uses and is absolutly deadly with.

Skills -

• Ideon is a charismatic leader who knows how to inspire and rally people behind him.
• He has decades of experience as a Jedi master, possessing an in-depth knowledge and prospective of the Force. In general he is quite knowledge of things a Jedi Master would know of.
• He is a great tactician due to years of fighting in the Sith - Jedi war as a respected general. He knows quite well how to lead troops into battle, able to properly execute ambushes, flanking maneuvers and identify traps. He is also overall an incredibly fierce combatant.
• Ideon was taught several martial arts decades ago as customary of a Jedi's training. He is still capable even without a weapon.
• He's a solid starfighter pilot, using his force in tune with his other senses while flying.

Flaws -

• Ideon knows how to use a blaster but he is absolutely terrible with them. Unless an opponent is at point blank range he’ll more than likely miss.
• Having left the Jedi Order for years now, Ideon has become in tune with his natural emotions. He is bound to bouts of intense anger when things do not go the way he wants, during these bouts he tends to destroy things around him.
• He is quite bold and honest when he wants to be. While often hiding his true intentions, when speaking truly he does not mince his words.
• Ultimately his goal is to survive and for his cult to survive. If in a life or death situation he’ll adopt a cowardly stance in an attempt to save himself.

Personality - Ideon is a complex figure, an enigmatic leader that's true motivations are unknown to even the highest ranking people in Okussus. He has earned the respect, and sometimes fear of others in his command. On one side is a face of kindness and charisma, a charming person that can make friends with ease. On the other is a hardened, ruthless leader that will do anything to succeed. He is not one to accept failure, those under his command that do so will find themselves berated harshly. Those that seek to leave Okussus are met with total resistance, in extreme cases these deserters are executed, only rarely personally by Ideon though.

Backstory -
Ideon was born on Dantooine, the son of two poor farmers. He was taken from his parents by a wandering Jedi Knight at a young age, having been discovered to be Force sensitive. He showed strong potential as a youngling, and was handpicked to be a padawan to the respected Wata Creena, an Ithorian Jedi. The young Ideon learned much under his wise Master Creena. The Ihtorian was a peaceful, philosophical man, one that only raised his weapon when it was absolutely necessary. As the Sith - Jedi war raged on the two were called into battle.

Master Creena was hesitant about joining the conflict, having a strong distaste for war. He did anyway, realizing that all help was needed for the Republic and that Ideon was far along enough in his training to be able to properly fight in battles across the galaxy. The aspiring Jedi saw all sorts of sights in battle, so much death and destruction but also heroics by brave Republic soldiers. It made him respect the troopers that he was put in command of. Ideon’s master and him managed to survive their time in war with only minor injuries. He would go on to accomplish his Jedi trials and become a full fledged Jedi Knight.

After that Ideon spent time split between the war and other missions elsewhere. He earned the respect of soldiers that fought behind him for his dedication to the cause and his willingness to fight right alongside them on the frontlines. He would also personally fight against multiple Sith warriors during his time on the battlefield. They were never an easy opponent to defeat.

Then came another big stage in his life, as he took on a young padawan. He chose a Togruta, Vasha Taal. Ideon made his goal to turn her into a strong, well rounded Jedi Knight and he tried his very best to do it. Through their years together he put her through any difficult tasks, but none that were impossible. She succeeded over and over, but the times she failed he would treat as a teaching moment. Reiterating how driven and smart she was, that she could overcome anything if she really put her full mind behind it. He would send her out on solo missions frequently as she grew older, trusting her judgement and abilities. Once he felt she was old enough, and fully ready he would take her into war with him.

There she would also show talent, taking after him in many regards. Vasha would become his closest friend and someone he grew to fully trust. The aging Ideon continued to impress, being granted the rank of Master as he reached his forties. Around that time he heard of the death of his old master Creena, a man he greatly respected. This was one of the sadder moments in his life, but something that would only push him further to become the greatest he could become. Meanwhile, Vasha continued to excel, she was ready to take her Jedi Trials and accomplished them with ease. A genuine happiness was inside Ideon as she become her own Knight, a true Jedi.

He was briefly saddened to watch her go on her own, but they continued to stay in touch over the years. Ideon had become a greatly respected Jedi Master, serving on the council as he become a powerful voice within the Order. He would take another another padawan, a young Twi’lek male named Do'seca. The boy was brilliant and reminded him of Vasha in many ways. Ideon taught him much the same way, making adjustments where it was needed. All things seemed to be going well, as the boy reached his teen years and grew into a strong young man.

Ideon would make a decision he’d go on to regret for years after as he took the boy into war with him. The Jedi - Sith War was in its final years, the Republic had the advantage and the Empire was close to defeat. In one of the closing battles of the war Do'seca perished in combat, defeated by a wicked Sith warrior. Ideon was hit with a wave of emotions, something the Jedi preached strongly against. He would cut down the Sith, then kneeled down over his fallen padawan. Tears fell from his eyes as he scooped the young apprentice’s body up, then gave him a ceremonial burial on the Twi’lek’s homeworld. That event drastically affected Ideon, pulling the highly respected Jedi Master off the battlefield.

He disappeared several months after that. Not speaking a word to anyone else. All sorts of theories came about to explain where he had gone. Some thought he had been taken prisoner, or simply perished in a starship crash. No one knew what really happened. The Jedi Master went silent, and was eventually considered dead by many of his peers.

Then rumors arose of a dark cult growing in the edges of known space, rumored to be lead by a powerful former Jedi. Only through covert intelligence reports was it discovered what had become of Ideon. He was now the leader of Okussus, and had slowly began to gather a strong following. No one knew of his true motives, why he had abandoned the order and become a Dark Jedi. It was only recently that a Task Force was assembled, in order to find out what really happened.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

Paradise station, a place that leads could always be found in, there was never a lack of scum to garner information from about slave routes, or even slavers to hinder or thwart. Unfortunately due to a lack of fund Uushaya was stuck on the station currently as she was unable to refuel her ship. However her skills came in handy here, and one of the local clubs was allowing her to dance on stage for the needed currency. In this case they had placed a small cage hovering near the bar, her hands sliding up and down the bars as she swayed her hips back and forth for the patrons to look at when they could. These places made her sick, the rotten people trading lives, and making a living off death and sorrow. Something though was throwing her off, she kept sensing something, but she wasn't sure what it was.

Meanwhile, in a higher level, Tez's lightsaber clashed with the crackling staff of the IG-100. It was nice to have some actual combat training, even if it was with a droid. Tez spun about on his heels, flourishing the humming blade of light as he did so. It certainly was a far cry from blocking blaster fire. However, something kept bugging him. Something wasn't right on the ship. Well, it might not be? Tez could feel the force converging onto a point below him, but he couldn't tell whether whoever had this was a wielder of the light or the dark side of the force. This distraction caused him to lose his attention, and suddenly he felt a sickening blow into his stomach. He collapsed to the floor, but held his hand out. "That's enough, droid. Thank you." He managed to say. The droid went stiff and seemed to enter a stand-by mode. With that, he clambered to his feet. The blow wouldn't effect him that long. Besides, there were more pressing matters at hand. With that, he set off from the room and looked for the route that would allow him to descend further into Paradise.

As the music continued so did the dance, her lithe form continuing the fluid movements as she moved to the floor of the cage bouncing slightly and down before moving to stand back straight. There was no humiliation in this to Uushaya, it suited her needs and provided a perfect cover. No one would suspect a Twi'lek dancer of being a Jedi, and further sometimes slavers would seek her out making her job all the easier. Though soon the music stopped and so did her time dancing in the cage, she would exit, and as usual turning down offers as she went from multiple patrons of the club. Stepping lightly behind the bar she would pick up a gray jacket and quickly pull it on hiding a majority of her toros and the dancing attire before stepping out of the nightclub a satchel bag in hand containing almost all her possessions. Stopping she would turn her head slightly, that sensation of a force user coming closer. "Hmm." She would move and go down a maitenance corridor that seemed to be mostly abandoned, and slip around a corner into the shadows. Uushaya would retrieve her lightsaber from her bag and moving into a hidden position and wait to see if that presence came any closer.

Following his senses, Tez found himself coming up to the entrance to some sort of club. It certainly wasn't a place you'd see him of his own accord. However, it did seem that his quarry was close by. He kept his lightsaber holstered, as not to try and make the patrons of Paradise uneasy, but also because it would not be a good look when he met this person. Closer and closer he got, the presence getting stronger with each step. He turned a corner, feeling the force resonating strongly around here. More importantly, it seemed to be emnating from a specific corridor. Checking his surroundings before going inside, he knocked on the metal wall. "Hello?" He called out into the darkness. "I know you're here. Let's make this easy for both of us." He tried to persuade calmly.

Hearing the voice she would grab hold of a lekku and slowly pull it over her shoulder and slowly give it a stroke. Taking a deep breath she would slide her lightsaber into the inside of her jacket and move around the corner slowly, a sultry expression on her features as she leaned against the wall. "Make it easy? Love I'm not on the clock right now maybe later alright?" To make a part convincing you had to continuously play it regardless of what others would say, or think. Staring at the boy for a long moment she never dropped the facade, but she did start preparing herself for combat if it came, her body loose and ready to move at a moment's notice.

Tez gulped at the female's response. Had he actually got the wrong person? As the Twi'Lek girl began to turn the corner, he could begin to make out the distinct features. Judging by her immediate mannerisms, she could be a dancer of some kind? No doubt being the kind that the club probably employs. He slowly raised both of his hands, as a sign to show that he truly meant no harm. "Forgive me, ma'am. My name is Tez. I... felt something here." He tried to explain. He didn't want to quite let on he was a Jedi in case she really wasn't who Tez was looking for.

A smirk came across her lips as she didn't move any closer. "That's okay a lot of guys feel things when they see me, but you're gonna have to go feel it somewhere else." She would start to turn away from him, and leaned over to pick up her back once more, though when she did so her jacket would open slightly and a glimpse of her lightsaber could be viewed.

Tez winced at her response. "No, wait, that's not what I-" he began to protest. He was about to walk up as he could see she was about to leave until he spotted the flash of metal which is all he needed to know. He reached onto his belt and drew his own lightsaber hilt, presenting it to the, admittedly beautiful, Twi'Lek. "I don't think it's the kind of feeling you're talking about."

She looked to the hilt in the man's hand and stood up straight tossing her jacket back and off her lightsaber hilt floating to her hand before it hit the ground. Narrowing her eyes she would extend a hand towards Tez, as if preparing to use the force against him. "I figured, but you know I was trying to avoid fighting another inquisitor. I guess it can't be helped though... I won't show you mercy Imperial..."

His eyes widened at her words, and Tez immediately shot his hands out in protest. "Wait, wait, no-no-no-no-no-no-no." He stammered. He quickly put his lightsaber on the ground. "I'm not here to fight you! I'm no Inquisitor either!" He explained as quickly as possible. "Inquistors don't look like this, do they?" He asked as reasoning, gesturing to his clothing.

Uushay stared at him for a long moment before finally relaxing somewhat and looked past Tez to the walkway behind him where different residents of the station were moving back and forth. "I see, I never figured an inquisitor would have a dress code, I have only faced one after all So who are you? What do you want?" She was still cautious and still gripped the hilt of her saber for just in case.

Tez exhaled and relaxed slightly, putting his arms down. "I'm Tez Novacore. I'm a Jedi who's master was slain. I go about trying to stop those that would do the innocent and the defenceless harm. I sensed your presence on Paradise. I... never thought I'd see another Jedi." He explained. Tez would be lying if he didn't abandon the prospect of seeing another Jedi at some point. "It's... nice to meet someone I could trust straight away." He admitted.

Chewing the inside of her lip for a moment Uushaya gave a nod, and took a few steps towards Tez before once more using the force to put her lightsaber back into jacket. "You're right I suppose, though my Master was not slain, at least I haven't felt him return to the force yet." She gave a sigh. "I am on my own though, and I find it hard to trust even those who claim to be a Jedi. What are you doing out here, on Paradise station?"

Tez considered how it would be best to answer this question. "I was... invited to Paradise by the owner. He gave me an offer that any rogue or gunslinger would probably accept in a heartbeat. Something didn't seem right though." He revealed. It didn't surprise him that the Twi'Lek was also without a master. Why else would she be in Paradise if her master was present? "He's basically given me resources to continue what I've been doing." Tez added. "May I ask why you are also here?" He inquired curiously. Judging by the outfit, he could make some guesses as to the cover story, but still, it would be nice to know.

A look came over Uushaya's features, who's to say if it was anger, disappointment, or something else, all that could be told was that it was an expression disapleased with some of his words. "So you are freelancing for a man that enables slavery, and other kinds of criminals? I haven't met many jedi, but I thought that was the opposite of what they were supposed to be doing." Uushaya began to gather up her belongings once more pulling her jack back on and shouldering her bag. "Me? I'm working, always working on getting rid of slavers in the Galaxy, but sometimes it requires me to play up the act of a dancer, which earns me the necessities to survive in this galaxy."

The male Jedi could immediately see the anguish on the Twi'Lek's face, and she raised some good points. "It didn't go down like that. He stated curtly. "Believe me, I raised all those points with Koren, and I hold as much disdain for the people he harbors on here as you do. Unfortunately, the time of the Jedi Order is over, so each of us must do what is necessary to complete our missions." He reasoned, his voice having a hint of determination. He picked up his lightsaber from the ground and holstered it. "It seems we both have the same intentions." Tez pointed out. "You may not like the decision I made, but I would like to suggest that it might be in our best interests to stick together for now. Times are tough with Jedi isolated, we could help each other." The Jedi offered.

"I don't much believe in excuses... There's no excuse for supporting slavery." She gave a sigh and turned towards Tez, Uushaya's body tense as she considered the other Jedi's words. "We can stick together for now, but only for now. I will see what you are up to, and if I do not like it I will leave. Do we have a deal?"

Tez nodded and offered his hand out. "Deal." He replied, actually breaking a slight smile, which was rare. Regardless, he had to convince the Twi'Lek that who and what he supports was not what she thought it would be. "I never got your name, by the way."

Uushaya would stand there for a moment considering and then take a deep breath. "Uushaya, Payano." Was her simple reply, moving closer to Tez once more she would loop her arm in his. "I guess if we are going to go anywhere together we will need a cover so no one gets suspicious.." She stared at him for a moment. "I'm a slave, you won me in a game of Pazaak. Alright?"

The Jedi nodded in acknowledgement. "Very well, Uushaya." He said before they set off. Before they actually left the corridor, he turned his head to the Twi'Lek. "Where shall we go for now?" He asked quickly.

She would stop and blink a few times. "I have no idea, i have no leads or anything right now. You were working for a fellow I figured you'd be taking me along..." She would lean in close. "So I guess... Just bring me with you wherever you were going."

Tez nodded. "Let's head back to my quar-" He stopped himself immediately. "That came across as creepy." He muttered embarrased. He looked at the Twi'Lek. "At least, it would be a private place to discuss things further. Tez tried to explain.

Continuing the walked Uushaya gave him a bit of a laugh. "It's fine I understood what you meant. Sure we can go to where you're staying..." She watched the passerbys and closed her eyes for a moment. "You are the Master after all."
