Hangar

The J-5 Shuttle, libero, landed in the hangar, and began its cool down procedures.

Master Starfield, we have landed.

Excellent Lt. Trado.

Johun walked toward his padawans' cabin doors and knocked on them.

We have arrived.

She recognised the box at once. Juvexian artwork. Some talented slave made it. The key was still hanging from the lock, the locks seal unbroken. Five walked up to it and sat down. She seemed only focussed on the box. Exitement screamed from her Lekkus. She looked around, making sure Ral was where he was, and nothing else was dangerous, and unlocked the lock.
Opening the box, there was paper wrapping around something inside, on it a letter and a credit chip. She carefully opened the letter and read it. It was short. Signed with rouged lips.

'With love and care.

A.

PS: Chip to the carrier of this box. Give him our special friend too.'

She put both the letter and the credit chip aside and opened the hard paper wraps. Her face at once shone up. She took out the pair of yellow gloves that covered the new hands, and just watched them.
Two hands, one left, one right. Yellow synthskin, female forms. She loved the new hands, just looking at it, and not even opening the manual underneath. Quickly, she pushed her right hand with the left on three different places and the hand snapped off with a hiss. Cybernetic implant. She put the old hand away and put on the new one with a turn and an other hiss. It didnt seem like there was a difference between the old and the new, but Five seemed mezmerised by the new appandage. She quickly did the same with her left hand, and then took out the manual and started reading.

There was a lot about installing the new software that worked with the new hardware inside the hands, new abilities and techniques, garantee papers and of course a little note from Dr Q on usage and installation in less technical wording.

She didnt take her eyes off the manual as she answered.

"North of the Academy, in the woods. Here, call her with this. will write down the coordinates. She should be there at noon tomorrow."

She took out a whistle from her pocket and threw it to him, then wrote down the coordinates on a piece of paper. She put the credit chip on the table and put her old hands back into the box. Taking the box, the letter and the gloves, leaving only the credit chip, she stood up.

"Chip is yours. Take good care of my new favourite, and dont let the jedi see her. She is a promising student. Take good care of yourself too, you owe me a staff fight."

She grinned at him and walked off the ramp, into the jedi academy.

*aboard the Iibero*

In the left cabin Kulaan had decided to take a quick nap not having realized how soon they would be arriving.  The little sleep she did get was not as relaxing as she had hoped as strange dreams caused her to toss and turn.  The knock on her cabin door came unexpectedly and surprised her from her slumber. She let out a small squeak of shock which would be followed by a soft thump of her rolling off the bed.  Standing quickly, quite glad the cabin door was still closed so no one was able to see what had happened (although Johun probably would of been able to hear it), she called back.

Okay! I will be out in a minute. She glanced around looking for the robes her tail swinging behind her in a lethargic way, not being quite awake yet. She spotted them and began to get into them.  Realizing what was happening her tail tried in vain to stop her from getting the robes on but she had too much of a head start.  She smiled and shook her head as she exited the room with her tail trying to toss off the bottom of the robes relatively frequently. With the robes on much to the annoyance of her tail she tided up the room a little and gathered her pack, heading out of the room to being her training with Johun and Von.

Seeing Johun she smiled and gave a slight bow. Good... er... She hesitated and glanced hopefully out the viewport which unhelpfully only showed a wall. Well I guess I will just hope its morning then master. She finished starting to regret the nap.  It had not helped much anyway.

As the 'Hope' enters the hanger its sublight engines cut and the landing thrusters were used to bring the ship to the floor gently.

Most systems powered down and the doors were opened with a long hisssss.

Talon walked down one of the docking ramps and stood still and just waited patiently for someone to welcome him to the academy.

He noticed the droids having some sort of an argument but could not make out the details. He smirked as he wondered what sort of dilemmas droids had to deal with on a daily basis.

Kulaan watched as Von silently exited the room. He had hidden his face under his hood and walked towards the exit of the ship. Nonplussed she tuned back to Johun. I'm not sure if he so eager to train he doesn't want to talk, or just still tired. She said with a half shrug. She was curious about the new place and wondered how much more crowded it was going to be compared to Felucia. She had not done much traveling having only ever gone from her home on Farrfin to the base on Felucia, so she didn't know exactly what to expect. Felucia didn't get all that many visitors.

As Talon watched with interest at the aforementioned droids as they left the hanger, he also noticed a trio of Jedi exit a ship and start towards doors into the academy proper.

As the 'Freedom's Hope' was situated between the trio and said doors, Talon gave the them a slight bow with a light smile before following the group from a small distance.

It looked as if the leader was a Master followed closely by two students, but knows better then to assume before knowing the facts.

It had been a while since he was last at this academy, escorting a Republic ambassador alongside Several members of this very academy to Roon, and although he was born on this planet, he still felt somewhat an outsider.

Perhaps he would find a way to integrate himself fully into the Jedi Order, not to mention the few Imperial Knights and a score of troopers who have joined him in pledging their lives to serve the greater good.
