Five looked the woman over, since that what women do when they just WERE the only women in a conversation and then an other joins it. Critical assesment. But, she had no idea who this woman was, so she simply rolled the paper up and put it on her lap under the table.
-5- "Drawing project."
She didnt know who was who in this place, and while this new woman seemed to know Isra, 5 herself had no idea who she was. The least people knew that she was not exactly fitting here, the better. Plus, she slowly started to udnerstand why The Mistress felt it fun to play with the jedi. So much cunning and wisdom and force in one building, and playing with them is just... exiting.
-5- "Hello, I am Nincs Név. Nev for shorts. I am the new art teacher."
She boldly told, not caring if they actually HAD an art department or someone allready teaching art.

==Isra Bel==
Looking to the newly arrived Correllia. Not knowing what else to do, perhaps this prominent member of the academy would know. "Greetings, Kay'li. This is . . .Number 5. She is here on behalf of her Master to ascertain any assistance they might be able to give the Jedi Order and the Republic in our current conflicts with the Mandalorians. Perhaps you can speak to her. I really must be moving on with my administrative obligations."
Isra looks to Number 5. "This is Kay'li Raganella, Jedi Knight and Watchmen of the Order. She might be able to serve you on a more direct level as she reports directly to Council or Council members." With a polite smile and a bow, the beautiful Hapan takes her leave. . .

"Thank you, Isra."
Kay'li glanced from the self-proclaimed art instructor, to Isra, and back to the stranger, a muted look of confusion on her face. She perceived that the stranger's story did not match with the introduction given by her fellow Knight. It seemed odd to attempt a deception, when it could so quickly and easily be refuted, so she attributed it to misguided caution, rather than intentional ill will. But why had the visitor felt the need to hide her true purposes? Smiling as disarmingly as she could, she addressed the one who had called herself Nev.
"It's true. If you have a problem that need solving, or an offer to make to the Jedi Order, it's my job to listen and help you as best I can. So, how can I help you? Are you looking for more art students perhaps?" There was a twinkle in her eye. Kay'li was more than half-teasing. She was pretty sure something more important was going on than art lessons. Besides, she'd caught a quick glance at the drawing project. The main area Nev seemed prepared to teach was drawing faces, by using examples of how not to draw them.

-5- "Hello Jedi Master Kay'li, I am Five."
Five introduced herself, and it was about that time she was feeling something... she didnt know yet what it was, but it felt fammiliar somehow. As Kay'li was talking, she would start to feel a disturbence in the Force. First, it felt like faintly as if an other entity was radiating from Five, then it became clear. One dominant entity, and about a dozen faint ones. And the taint of the darkside was clear in this disturbence, but not pure darkside. The light was clear too.
For Five, the experience was close to insanity. She suddenly felt someone speak to her in her mind, and she froze.
Five, I am your mistress, Fa. Do not speak, do not act if I dont tell you to. Blink once if you understand, blink twice if you are not.
Five blinked once.
Is that a jedi?
Five blinked once.
Now, you will activate the voice distortion device, and roll your eyes backward. Speak what I say.
Suddenly, Fives head darted downwards, her chin toutched the voice distortion device on the slaves collar and activated it. Her eyes rolled back in their sockets, a painfull act, but she held them there, and finally she looked strait in the direction of Kay'lis face. The Twilek slave woman spoke in a low but deamonic voice, it felt like she had several voices even, speaking as one. She seemed posessed.
The Ironclad are moving. One Harbringer of Death, and a fleet of destruction. Destination unknown. Be ready. -Five- -The Ironclad are moving. One Harbringer of Death, and a fleet of destruction. Destination unknown. Be ready."
And with that, the "posession" was over. Five didnt feel the other in her thoughts, and her voice (after stealthily deactivating the voice distortion device) was normal, her eyes clear. SHe did what she was last instructed, just before the connection ended.
-Five- "What... what happened?"
She acted surprised and afraid, as any oscar winning actress would.

"Nice to meet you, Five."
Five. So this one had a number, not a name -- unless Five was a nickname, but the way the stranger had said it made her doubt that. Kay'li wondered whether the woman had a name as well, and what the significance of the number five was. Nincs Név was unlikely to be a real name, since the Academy didn't have an active art program. Artistic pursuits for the Academy students were usually confined to recorded training sessions kept in the Jedi library, or exchange programs with the local university. But she filed the name away. There might be some significance to it later.
And then something strange happened, diverting her attention rather suddenly. Through the Force, she sensed a great disturbance radiating from Five. Inside the stranger, and all around her, Kay caught 'glimpses' of a shadowy darkness. The shadows cleared, and she could feel one dominant, presence, surrounded by a cloud of a dozen or so much weaker ones. And all around them, the presence of the darkside hung heavily and darkly. But there was light, too, and good, struggling to be heard and felt among all the darkness and shadow.
Five tensed almost as if convulsing, and her eyelids fluttered. Then her chin drooped rather suddenly, and her eyes rolled uncontrolled, before fixing on Kay'li's face. The young Jedi Knight gasped, staring in surprise but unable to look away. A cold chill ran down her neck and back as she felt the full presence of the darkside, and an entirely unnatural voice (or was it a chorus of voices?) spoke.
And then, quite suddenly, it was over.
It took the Jedi Knight a moment to speak after the assault on her senses. She couldn't shake the eerie feeling that the message was intended for her personally, or at least for the Jedi Order. "It seems you have ... a condition. A possession, perhaps." She pressed her lips together, betraying the concern and confusion she felt. Who was this dark presence, and why had it appeared? "Does this happen to you often?"
Kay replayed the message in her head. The Ironclad are moving. One Harbringer of Death, and a fleet of destruction. The Ironclad are moving. One Harbringer of Death, and a fleet of destruction. Destination unknown. Be ready. It was a warning. But beyond that, she was at a loss.

The young twilek looked lost, and shook her head.
-5- "Never, but the masters told me it would feel wierd. They sent me to be their voice, and that is what I am, Jedi Master Kay'li. It is my purpous here. What... what happened? I was in a dark place, I dont know how long. Just blackness and silence."
She had rehursed her words well, as the Mistresses had tought her. She was in no dark place, and this was no true posession. The Nightsisters lacked that true darkness to take controll of someones body.
-5- "At least, I hope it was helpfull."
That, was not a lie. She knew how serious her mission was. Dathomir might be lost if she fails.

"Oh, it only lasted a few seconds." The Jedi Knight replied quickly, in a reassuring tone. This was all very strange, and definitely fuel for some deep meditations.
"I don't fully understand what happened, but you recited a message -- or more of a warning, really." She continued to study the Twi'lek closely, both with her eyes and through the Force, looking especially for any signs of dishonesty or deception. She had no justification to forcefully push into Five's mind, and so she held back, but she 'listened' every way she knew how. "I think it will useful, although I really can't say just yet. I need time to think, and I need more information."
She had a lot of questions, but asking them would be meaningless unless she knew the answer to the most important one. This was a very elaborate way to send a message. There had to be something more going on, but what? And why? And if this was really some form of darkside possession, why didn't she sense the dark presence all of the time?
"So who are your masters?"

Kay'li didnt have to dig deep to find deception. It was there, udner the surface. She was badly or none trained against prodding with the force, she didnt even notice in any ways. Question is, what is she deceptive about? There was a clean stench of fear and thoughts of care on the surface too. Whatever had happened, it changed the twilek slave from her calm.
-5- "Not for me to tell. They are a bit childish like that. Not sith, if that is what you fear. They hunt sith, maybe better then you. Just a few month back we destroyed a slaver camp that was held up by a sith. Good times."
She smiled a creepy, cold smile. No deception there.
"What... what did I say? Do?"
She would be a bad posessed if she were not curious to what message she had told. Even if she knew it allready.

Suiting their actions to their words, the two of them headed off to the mess hall.
Jade figured that this would initially be a better platform for the two of them to talk. She was aware that her attempt at explaining Serrin's behaviour fell vastly short of what her padawan considered to be acceptable; however, it was all she had to offer on that front at this time.
Even though she and Terra had not caught up yet, she could tell that the girl was feeling a bit more comfortable with herself, more assured. It was a definite improvement. Meeting Ralph had pushed her comfort zone in a familiar environment, not like throwing her up against a Sith lord. Terra followed Jade into the dining hall, and quickly grabbed a tray and put food on it and waited for Jade to do the same before she found an empty table and sat down. There was a lot to talk about, especially since she had been so busy these last few weeks and had experienced so much. Her mind was still mostly on the camping trip with Ralph, and she suddenly found herself staring off into the distance as her thoughts lingered on Ralph...

Jade quickly collected her own food, relatively tame fare this time but still nutritious. It would serve. She levitated her tray over to the open seat across from Terra and turned back to acquire a beverage. She almost filled a tall crystal glass with Corellian Ale, but decided to go for water instead. Glass in hand, she headed back to where Terra was sitting and seated herself opposite. She took a bite, then glanced up and realized that Terra appeared to be lost in thought, or, her eyes narrowed contemplatively, lost in memory---reliving some moment or experience that was peculiarly relevant to herself. For a few minutes there was silence as Jade ate her food, punctuated by sips of water, as she was not currently willing break in on the young woman's reverie. If it lasted much longer, she would speak up.

Terra suddenly realized that she had spaced out and came to with a start, seeing that she still had food to eat and she blushed a little."Oh! Sorry...I...um...spaced out there..."Still blushing a little, she quickly started to eat what was left of her meal, hoping that Jade hadn't been waiting on her to start the conversation.

"Don't worry about it, it happens to everyone at some point, Terra." She smiled warmly across the table and around a bite of...salad. She did not often eat the lettucey dish: it was green and tasted a bit too much like plants to be completely enjoyable. Still, for now it was an abrupt change that she was hoping would keep her from daydreaming about other things. If she had not been on her guard, she could have quickly slipped off into reliving recent memories having to do with a certain Mandalorian. "However, it is best to keep that to safe environments. Lack of focus can get you killed...and unfortunately, that is generally a permanent state of being." Unless one happened to become a Force Ghost, or choose several other options that were usually cost-prohibitive or had nasty side effects.

Johun's first stop after his long flight was the Dining hall. He had missed the comfort of his favorite Corellian foods. Plus, many of the Academy's residents spent time here when the weren't teaching and/or learning. Hopefully he could catch up on the current events of the Academy since his absence. Johun grabbed some water and a nerf steak, choosing to sit in a fairly centralized location of the dining hall, so that he could be both visible, and in good position to listen for any interesting news...

A Corellian shuttle pilot walked into the dining hall, his presence there wasn't uncommon. He would occasionally come in and talk to the knights and listen to their stories, but he had a story that he wished to tell instead. Walking over to one of the nearby knights he sat down, he himself was little tipsy but he was sure they would not make a big deal of it. He always made sure that he was polite and followed the rules. Turning to one of the knights and grabbing a cup of wine he began to tell the knight about what he had to hear from one of his pilot friends.
Listen, now I know I ask about stories from you guys but you have to listen to this story my friend told me. He runs shuttles in the outer rim, and we get together every now and then but he told me about this kid, right who wanted to get a flight to Felucia. I thought to myself big deal right, everybody travels to some place weird every now and then right. Well here's the strange thing, my buddy does a lot of travel to Korriban. Actually I think he's one of the only shuttles that will actually take people to Korriban, and he told me he's never seen that kid before. He has this strange crazy idea that this kid is from Korriban. I mean come on, who would choose to live on that rock. An a kid no doubt, so IThe pilot stops and takes a swig of the wine and then ends up finishing it. Placing the cup down looks back at the knight and continues his story.anyway like I was saying, I ask my buddy if he had any proof right. An all that bastard says was the kid looked scary and that he made such a big deal about this creepy sword that he wanted to bring on. Not to mention he tried to pay my buddy in Terentatek teeth, like that would be enough payment. Well the kid finally coughed up enough money to get him to at least Felucia, he could have gone anywhere else but said he wanted to go to felucia. Said he never seen a plant, anyway thats my story. I know nothing compared to your tales but still I thought it was weird, to think someone might have lived on Korriban could be so young.
The pilot got up and walked over to another table to retell the same story....

Johun noticed the pilot walk in the hall. They weren't an uncommon thing. Johun barely noticed them anymore. Most were friendly enough, starry-eyed at whatever stories the Jedi would divulge. This one however, seemed to want to tell one, or at least the wine he grabbed did. Johun watched as he went from Jedi to Jedi, excitedly retelling his story. Most here seemed uninterested, very likely assuming the man was nothing more than a embellishing drunkard. But Johun knew hat with every drunken story, there was some truth to be told. He waved the man over, interested to hear what he had to say.

The pilot looked up from his empty glass of wine and looked into the vase that held the wine and saw that it was empty. Looking up from the table he saw that most of those he was talking to had left, what did catch his eye was when a man sitting at a table nearby was waving him down. An this man seemed to have wine at his table, the Jedi always had the best wine. Standing to his feet he carefully walked over to the Jedi and plumbed his rear into the seat. Looking at the man before him and pouring himself a healthy glass of wine he smiled at the man, he was not as drunk as he looked nor smelt. He was used to drinking large quantities of wine and swapping stories, the life of a shuttle pilot was an interesting one at that.
What can I do for you sir, would you care to hear about my story. I have been telling the whole hall about, I figured you Jedi folk would love to hear about stories involving Korriban. I hear its full of dark magic and the birth place of nightmares. But thats just what I tell my son...the pilot takes a swig of his wine and smiles at the man before him.

Johun nodded to the man.
Korriban is of special interest to certain Jedi.
Johun was referencing the Jedi Watchmen, of which he was, but this pilot should know nothing of them.
I happen to be a certain Jedi with that special interest. I understand, based on what I heard, that a friend of yours picked a boy up on Korriban and left him on Felucia, correct?
Johun encouraged the man to drink his wine, as Johun didn't touch the stuff. Johun also knew of the effects of alcohol on the limbic systems of the brain, lowering inhibitions, and loosening the tongue.

Terra nodded, though she was sure that she would be able to keep her focus if she was actually in a dangerous place. Well Jade had said that she should keep her daydreaming to safe environments and that's what she was doing. She smiled a little."I know." She sighed softly, wondering if now was a good time to ask about her Trials, as Jade had mentioned them in her message the other day. She cleared her throat."Um...so...I got your message about my Trials."

the pilot smiled at the man and took another swig from his wine, he could feel his eyelids getting heavy and the feeling he could talk for hours. Pouring himself another glass he stared at the man and only stared off, then he smacked his glass into the table splashing the wine on the table.
Right, so what would you like to hear. The story I have telling is quite good, doesn't make sense but nonetheless it is still an interesting one. Don't get many like this one, anyway would you care to hear it.

Johun smiled and nodded.
I would thoroughly enjoy hearing a good story. It has been some time since I heard one. Please continue.
Johun waved toward a droid who was a server in the dining hall, and pointed at the decanter, signaling he would need more wine.
