Reylan

[Hellcat]

The lightsabers come back on within a few seconds of shutting off. Before the group stands a small humanoid about a meter tall wielding a lightsaber. Cailum strides forward, his katanas lowered but clearly at the ready. The figure suddenly leaps into motion, attacking Cailum.

"The old order must perish to make way for the new, Master!" The figure screams. Cailum brings up his katana to block the blows.

The battle met, the droid moves to aid Cailum but it can't find an opening as the two combatants flow faster than it can anticipate. Finally after a few minutes The figure gets the upper hand, decapitating Cailum.

Shocked at the master's death, the group moves in to avenge the fallen Jedi Master. It is a ferocious fight with the Sith giving them no quarter. In the end they are forced to kill the Sith.

Searching the cave they find an inscription carved in Ancient Yegoglarian. The two droids add it to their databanks and it is taken back to the Raptor. THe KAWD translates the inscription, reveling their next destination to be Alderaan. Saying goodbye to Ali, and leaving Ailyn with her to be dealth with by the local authorities, they set off for Alderaan.

Traveling the planet, which is fully under Republic control, the group splits up with each member going in a different direction. Before setting out they purchased a group of recording devices in case they can't carry back the clue.

After about an hour of searching Reylan comes across a previously unknown village, the inhabitants appearing to be an insectoid species. Raising his translation ability he is able to communicate the strange aliens who welcome this outsider into their village. They explain that the rest of their kind was taken off world long ago but their ancestors manage to escape and remain in hiding. They hope he has heard what has come of their peoples. He tells them he has never before heard of any being alive. They seem sad, but at the same time happy with Reylan's response as it gives them never before recieved news.

A feast is prepared in Reylan's honor. Soon are brought out trays of the main course. Small mammals, fuzy and extremely cute. The aliens set to eating the creatures with great zeal. One turns to Reylan.

"Eat, eat."

These little mammals are clearly innocents being preyed upon by the insectoids. They are feasting on them out of malice and spite. Save them by wiping out these vicious brutes.

Reylan asks "Why are you eating these animals?" clamping down on his emotions to better understand the situation before jumping to conclusions.

"Taste good, let live, eat, eat," the alien insists again. It seems to be hesitantly smiling, unsure why the guest of honor isn't enjoying the meal.

Their poor fluffy creatures being eaten out of spite. Save them.

Reylan hesitates and says "I am sorry, this is just a strange ceremony to me" as he probes the creatures in the Force. These creatures were nice, and seemed kind. He does not want to believe that they have this malice within them, and he would not want to have to stop them, eradicating a species entirely...

ooc: Receptive telepathy. Trying to determine if the malice is from them, or manufactured from myself.

Reylan gets no sense of malice from the aliens.

Reylan smiles outwardly, forcing himself to realize that all cultures are different. While these might look cute and cuddly to him, they probably look gross as insects to them. They are simply throwing a feast in honor of me, I do not get any sense of malice from them. A Jedi's way is to understand strange cultures, not judge them he thinks to himself. He steels himself, and partakes in the feast... but only enough to be polite.

He says "I do not deserve such a feast, as I simply passed on news from my life. I am glad to see you all rejoicing and taking your loss so well."

Partake of the meal seems to please the aliens, they chitter rapidly, in a clearly approving manner. Reylan finds the taste quite vile, but forces himself to swallow each bite. Afterwards a few of them help him to search for the clue, but no sign of it can be found in this area. Hopeful the others are having more luck than he, Reylan begins returning to the Raptor.

As he nears the spaceport he comes across a seen he didn't expect, a group of Republic rocket jumpers. They have a small group of Krath troops lined up against a wall. The troops don't look like combat soldiers, more like techs. Their faces are full of terror at what is about to happen.

The rocket jumper's Lt. turns to his men.

"Present arms!"

The men raise their rifles to a ready position.

The Krath have killed thousands, they must be eradicated to wipe their evil from the face of the galaxy.

Reylan sees the events unfold, and wishes he could let it happen. What they did to the galaxy... But these are not the men who made the decisions. They are simply the techs who were following orders. He sprints toward them drawing his saber, but not igniting it. and shouts "Hold your fire!" and positions himself between the firing squad and the Krath.

He says to the troops alowing the Force to add more power to his words "You do not want to do this. Yes the Krath have harmed us all. You do not want to become them. We must be better then them if we are to defeat them. Killing these men just proves that we ARE them. Allow these men to face trials for their crimes, and not at the hands of a firing squad on the street. I know you are better then this." Reylan keeps his lightsaber visible, but extinguished so they know it is a Jedi who stands in their way.

ooc: Concentration + Persuasion.

"Hold," the Lt. orders. His troops seem anxious about this, looking from one another as if questioning what they should do. "The Krath are the enemy, Jedi. These men were recently involved in an attack on this planet. Why shouldn't they be executed?"

"They are the enemy. But it is how we treat the enemy that defines us. Do you wish to become the monsters the Krath have become? To execute unarmed prisoners is barbaric and evil. They should be taken back to command and put in a cell. There they will face a trial and a sentence passed down by our betters. We must rise above them if we are to defeat them." Reylan replies, hoping he is reaching them.

"Stand down," The Lt. reluctantly tells his men. Reylan sees the techs look quite relieved just before they vanish. In fact everything and everyone vanishes, accept for the rocket jumper Lt.

"You pass the test," he says in a suddenly female voice. "Am I walking the wrong path."

Before Reylan can respond the Lt. vanishes.

Reylan is escorted out of his cell to an interogation room. The female officer in charge of the teams arrest enters the room and slaps a flimsi with the description of the Raptor and some of those aboard on the table. He notes it is missing descriptions of the KAWD, Giric, Ailyn, Ali, Cailum, and himself on it. In fact the only ones described on it are Roth, Syllri, Daevon, and some Sullustan. It also lists them as having been identified with slicing into Possel's computer system on Exis Station. The bulletin lists Roth and Syllri as two lesser Sith and the Sullustan as a Krath agent. And Daevon as some sort of Sith warbeast. Looking at the date on the flimsi it realizes it was issued about the time the team last left Exis Station. But why not mention the war droid, Giric, Cailum, or himself as they were with the team at the time?

"So let me guess, you're another junior Sith. Threw out a lightsaber like the other Sith did, probably one of those fallen Jedi the Republic mentioned joined Exar Kun and Qel-Droma. What do your masters want with Taris?"

Reylan says "I can tell you that I am no Sith. The Jedi Counsel wished us to come here because we heard rumours that there was Sith here, and we are here to find out what they are or were up to."

He continues and says "If you believe that I am simply a fallen jedi, you can take my identification from my right breast pocket of my flight suit and run it, or call it it. It will clear." He pauses for a second before clarifying "Granted our orders did not say to come here directly, mine specifically were to find and aid the crew of the Raptor. Their mission was to track down Sith activities." making sure he is fully and completely honest with the man to give him no reason to suspect him.

ooc: Still tied up?

"Good agents would carry false identification with them," she replies, no hint of emotion. "And this does say your team broke into the computer systems of one Possel aboard Exis Station. Maybe you're a better slicer than they are and have sliced in a false ID into Republic computer databases prior to coming here.

"So tell me, why are you here. What is the Sith's purpose on Taris?"

(OOC: Cuffs off, collar still on)

Reylan smiles and says "Is there anything that will prove my innocence?" as he pulls out his identification and puts it on the table in front of him "We are currently on the planet trying to get just that information. We think they are looking for something, but we dont know what yet" he says truthfully.
