"If you think you have regained your strength and your physical constituion completely, I wont stop you from leaving, but since your last encounter with these, ... darksiders, you don't seem prepared enough, and if there's one thing better than one Jedi, it's two Jedi, but if you insist on leaving alone, still wounded somewhat, you can go, I will still try to save the Jedi I sensed on my descent, because that Jedi was in peril, more so than you..."

--------------------

I gave a weak smile.

"Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going into a healing trance."

I closed my eyes and calmed myself

--------------------

Knowing the healing trance takes quite while to complete, the Major stood up and sat of the floor, feeling the cold plasteel-covered ferrocrete floor through his cloak and pants, he sat with his ankles over his thighs, and closed his eyes, he calmed his thoughts, releasing his senses, he began to levitate.

The Levitated Meditation was the trickiest sort of Meditation for the Major, it took large amounts of concentration, and with the sound dampeners barely working by the window, the sounds of Mos Espa came through easily, but the Major prevailed over the sounds, and stayed about 1.5 meters above the floor, weightless, and free...

--------------------

"Come on. Let's get something to eat. They'll be here when we get back."

Ruhatt and Capt. Obvious left the medbay and went to a nearby cantina.

They ordered their food and waited for it to come out, listening to the band play.

--------------------

Yavin had led him to no answers, and he felt a familiar pull to this planet. Perhaps it was but mere coincidence, but there was definately something about the planet that had drawn his attention.

And - Quaintly - it happened that he noticed Ruhatt, and offered one of the gracious nods towards the man. Anyone would do for information at the moment, and that was something he needed.

"Is this seat taken?"

--------------------

"Of course not. Sit down. I can tell you're new here. Let me by you a drink. But just the first, the rest you pay for."

Ruhatt ordered a drink for the man and then saw Capt. Obvious sit on the other side of the newcomer.

"So what brings you to Tatooine?" Ruhatt asked.

--------------------

"It seemed the ideal place to come for a man in my circumstances. Afterall, where else could you come to learn information except on a smugglers paradise yes?"

--------------------

"Smuggler's paridise? Listen buddy, you need to get out more. Tatoonie is anything but pardise. But if it's information you want I'll tell you what I know...for a price." Ruhatt smiled and nodded as Capt. Obvious left his seat and went back to his seat i a booth.

"what do you want to know?" Ruhatt asked to where only the man heard him.

--------------------

"No information comes cheap, but information is always freely given yes?"

It was then that he used the Jedi Mind trick. Softly persuading the mind of the man that he wanted to tell the Jedi the information he sought. Of course, even if it didn't work, he still had credits from which to barter with. Either way, a little bit of the force now and then wouldn't hurt. So long as he didn't push too hard and damage the mans mind.

--------------------

Then Ruhatt smiled as if figuaring something out.

"You want info on the jedi and you hoped you I'd give information for free and I bet you waved your hand under the table. I bet you are a Jedi. Why else would you be so interested? But I don't know anything about the Jedi though. But for some credits I could point you to someone who might."

--------------------

"Or perhaps I'm a bounty hunter who's here to collect the Imperial bounty for Jedi's? Or perhaps I'm a Hutt agent come to seek out the JEdi? Or in the pay of the dreaded Dark Jedi's? These so called Sith? There are a thousand possibilities, and you've clung to one over a false pretense that I might waylay information that I am indeed a Jedi. You may decipher it as your own, but the fact is that I need to find a Jedi... And you can help. How many credits are we talking about?"

--------------------

"What do you say?" Ruhatt asked the man.

--------------------

Echuu readied the credit chip, then handed it to the Barmaid, He hoped the information was worth it. What happened on Yavin was of importance to the Jedi, as was the wereabouts of other Jedi.

--------------------

"by the way. the name is Ruhatt." Ruhatt said as they rounded the corner and headed inside the medbay.

"What might yours be?"

--------------------

He of course had followed, and was keen to see these other Jedi's. Despite the fact that he had intended to "use" Ruhatt for information, he found himself increasing interested in a friendship. Though a Jedi would never push the issue. Mostly, he wanted to know about this Mr.Obvious and his relationship to Ruhatt...

[[OOC: I'm gone for the night, hopefully I can find this tomorrow to be able to get back to replying.]]

--------------------

The Major brushed off his cloak and decided that Jebbua would be in this trance for quite a while, so he sat in the one chair in the corner of the room. He picked up the room's comlink and requested some Nerf-steaks and some Blue milk from the cafeteria, he couldn't leave the room, becaue Jedi are extremely vulnerable during a trance, like children sleeping.

The Major had an obligation to gain this man's trust, what better way than to watch over him until he wakes...

--------------------

"So, You're just looking for information about the Jedi? My I ask why?"

--------------------

I saw the Major in the room stil, but Ruhatt and Capt. Obvious were gone. But as I reached out with the fore I felt them nearby, with another person who was strong in the force.

What is this? The Jedi Acadmey or something? I thought. Although that wouldn't be a bad idea. This place is the middle of nowhere. I dismissed the thought and swung my legs to the edge of the bed.

"Here goes nothing." I said more to myself than to the Major.

My first foot hit the ground followed by the second. I stood on them and smiled.

Then like a person in a sandstorm I was blown back and on my knees. My hands to my head trying to make the pain go away.

Alexis...

--------------------

The Major shook his head, trying to rid himself of that emotional shockwave. But it wasn't over, because Jebbua seemed to be a conduit for it, and he reacted to it as well, so it reverberated, it hit the Major as well. He fell back into his chair, somewhat spent temporarily. he stood back up and approached Jebbua,

"I felt it too, someone -- bonded to you?"

--------------------

Come on man. You can trust this guy. If he wanted to kill you or betray you he's already had a chance. A voice in my mind said.

"My sister. The dark jedi have her captive and plan to use her and her unborn baby for their plans. For now, I'll trust you. So you can trust me. I need your help. I can feel my sister she's still on planet. But i can't pinpoint her. We should start in the spaceports to look at exiting and leaving ships."

I climbed to my feet agian and this time stood there without trouble. My lightsaber and belt raced to my hand and I put them on.

"I am ready."

--------------------

Once I reached the outskirts of town, I saw a plume of smoke in the distance.
What the heck is that! Oh sweet mother of the force, that about where my ships should be!

I sprited towards the smoke plume and reached it quickly. When I got closer, I saw that it was my ship and it had been destroyed by reapeated laser fire. Then I felt the tip of a gun in my back.

"Don't move, and put the gun on the ground."

I pulled the gun out with my left hand adn tossed it onto the ground.

"Okay, now keep your hands where I can see them, and turn around."

I did so and saw about 6 officers all with pistols leveled at me.
Damn, thats two precarious situations in one day. I need a new line of work.

--------------------

Don't bother to hide from me. I will find you. I am everywhere. There is nowhere you can't be found.

How I long for open seas, or vast grassy planes. I may love technolagy, but I need nature. It is where I am the strongest. Both in the force, and the body. And I need to be as strong as I can in the force, since my potential is so weak.

If I did not need to deliver this message to that smuggler, then I would not come here. I am late and hope the message is not worthless by now. He stressed how important it was a got there as soon as possible. Hopefully the man still is here. Otherwise this trip was for nothing.

I activated the beacon that was atached to his ship and saw that thesignal was weaker than normal, and was outside the city. I flew down and decided to land about 1/4 of a mile away and walk the rest of the way.

--------------------

"Well, if we are to get to the spaceport, we should leave soon, scratch that, we should leave soon-"

The Major and Jebbua both heard and felt the explosion in the distance

"Scratch that, that 'boom' probably came from the spaceport, I think, and we better hurry now, I hope fire doesn't spread..."

The Major and Jebbua hurried to the turbolift and made it to the street, they took to the left, towards the plume of black oily smoke above the buildings, in the direction of the spaceport...

Echuu opened his mouth to answer, but the explosion caught his attention at the same time. There was an odd lingering feeling about the force, and a most definate disturbance about it.

"The Jedi Temple I was at was destroyed, naturally I let the force draw me to a place where I could find answers... Does that happen often?"

Echuu was inquiring as to the explosion, already deviating from the walk in that direction, "we should investigate..."

--------------------

Ruhatt unhooked his blaster from his belt and yanked it out.

Ruhatt, Capt. Obvious, and Echuu left the medbay and headed to the spaceport. They round another corner and almost ran into Jebbua and the Major.

"Jebbua what are you doing out of bed?" Ruhatt asked.

"I'm fine. Let's investigate this matter first then we'll discuss things." Jebbua said.

"Fine." Ruhatt shrugged and everyone headed to the spaceport.
