Sarissa took a moment to regard the new arrival as he asked after his former Master, a man he soon described to her and named Master Tokare, causing her to pause a moment in thought as she remembered meeting such a man in the Halls of Remembrance not all that long ago. Although, that said, she wasn't really certain of Master Tokare's current whereabouts, so she doubted she could be of much assitance to the man I know of such a man, in fact, I met him in the Halls of Remembrance here, not all that long ago. He is a good man. But I'm afraid he isn't currently at the temple, I believe he had some matters to attend to in Nystao. However, there is one person who might know his where abouts a bit more accurately than me, and that would be Ice Matango, since I imagine he would have visited her, considering their past connections...

Ice Matango. He'd heard the name a time or two during his day but had no correlation as to who it fell upon. Or maybe it was just the name Matango; he wasn't sure, but according to this woman, she might have leads as to Master Tokare's whereabouts. But . . . past connections? The Master had been around a great many years and had many connections, but he was certain that the name "Matango" had never been mentioned from his lips. At least not that he had heard from the tiny green man's lips. However, if this Ice Matango would have information on him, then he had to go see her. There was so much he felt he had to inquire with his old Master. So much still left to learn. So much to share and catch up on in the six or seven years that he'd been on his own now after being Knighted.
He shook his excitement from his mind and returned to a more serious manner before responding to the woman who had assisted him more than she would be aware of. "Thank you," he said as he bowed to her. "I will go see Mrs. Matango now. Thank you, again, and may the Force be with you."
He turned around now, and headed back up the ramp of his YV-666 light freighter, eventually returning to the cockpit area. He seated himself and ran a pre-flight so as to verify the ship would be mechanically sound and fit for flight. After everything checked out good to go, the engines rumbled to life and the vessel, gracefully as could be done with a freighter of its design, exited the Temple hanger and headed for the city of Nystao.

Sarissa had given a bow in return to the Jedi Knight before he took his leave of the Temple, no doubt in a rush to seek out his former Master as soon as possible. With that attended to, Sarissa headed out of the Hangar to resume her duties around the Temple

The Quiver continued its descent down through the atmosphere towards the Honoghr Temple. When they entered Temple airspace, Kiel and Cairne followed the instructions given to them carefully, guiding the YV-929 armed freighter into the hangar bay and down into the assigned spot. The pair of brothers proceeded to power the ship down, before Kiel lead the way the way through the ship to the boarding ramp, with Cairne and Kanika following close behind. They then waited at the base of the ramp, Kiel and Cairne dressed in their usual civilian gear, whilst Kanika was still clad in naught but her cat ears and bikini. She had never been one to feel the cold, no matter where they went. Kiel had tried to get her to wear proper clothes more than once, but had failed in his attempts. She seemed happy enough as she was, so he was not going to press the point with her any further

With Zion still away on his mission, Sarissa was still the acting Head of the Honoghr Conclave. As such, it fell to her to greet any visitors to the Temple. But as she made her way to the hangar bay, reading the information on here datapad, she could tell these were no ordinary guests. Not that anyone visiting the Honoghr Conclave could ever be strictly defined as normal. But these people were more special than usual. It seemed that Zion was not the only one left in his family. These visitors were relatives of his. Very good looking relatives if she was honest, based off of the photos included with the information she had.
She stopped on one photo, that had Zion with Kiel, Cairne, and Kanika. It was so odd seeing photos of Zion, since she was so used to his slightly more aged look. And yet, the date stamp on the photo she was looking at was barely 5 years ago, and yet he looked so much younger. Not to say that he looked really old now. But he definitely did not look as young as he once had. If she was entirely honest, she didn't mind either look on him. She suddenly closed the photo then as she felt a flush of colour go to her cheeks. Before scolding herself for having such scandalous thoughts about the Grandmaster or even his cousins.
Pocketing the datapad, she hurriedly made her way to the hangar bay. The ship had landed and its occupants disembarking by the time she arrived. Prime had also elected to join Sarissa, stating that it was his job as head of security to greet the newcomers as well. She had offered no objections, knowing it was safer to have the droid by her side. After all, he'd be able to biometrically confirm their identities and offer her some back up. She stopped just short of the group and gave a bow to the two casually dressed men and the scantily clad woman "Greetings, I am Knight Mentor Sarissa Emberbreeze, acting headmaster of the Honoghr Conclave..."

The moment the ships dropped from hyperspace, Orbital Control began tracking their movements, whilst automated systems scanned their IFs and matched them against the databases. A half dozen Clawcraft moved into flank positions and followed the group as the system ran its checks. With their IFs checking out, they were transferred then to an Orbital Control WorkerBishop One, this is Honoghr OTC. Clearance to land has been granted, proceed on the given course...A datapacket was then sent to Bishop One, detailing the flight path they should take to the surface Bishop Convoy proceeded on the prescribed course, with Mason, Staple and Cadence flights in escort. The escort fighters kept in visual tracking of the claw craft and the freighters, since their signatures were no more in size than an average human fist, and it was as much a tradition of just about every pilot galaxy wide. Just like putting one's hands on the negotiating table, in sight and no foul moves. The entire formation took only a few moments to reach the threshold between space and appreciable atmosphere, with the Ysannan flight crews calling out traffic and obstacles with their own for of brevity codes.Approach, Staple One Actual*. Contact Honoghr Actual, let her know she has an old friend coming to see her. Diplomatic credentials following.Riddick sent a small packet of information detailing his diplomatic/statesman's credentials using an encryption scheme and frequency reserved for communications of that sort.
*Actual = brevity code for leader or commander of a particular unit. The entire flight was now about an hour and a half away from the temple. Riddick sent his credential package, and layout of the entire convoy to the temple's communications team, prior to speaking. He wasn't too thrilled about not getting a response the first time he requested a message be sent through, and it showed when he did speak.Temple Approach, Staple One Actual. I requested a message sent to your leadership, no joy on response. We're an hour and a half out, make sure they get it, and we get an answer. How copy?

Kiel had assumed Zion would be on Honoghr, since this was where his cousin had said he would be, and no one had said any differently so far. So, he had expected to be greeted by Zion. Instead though, a young woman entered the hangar bay, accompanied by a strange droid. It was unlike anything he or the other two had seen before. Though, the woman was garbed rather oddly too. Armour plates, chainmail, and likely armourweave cloth. And protruding from above her shoulder, the hilt of a sword. It was not often you met a force user not equipped with a lightsaber, more so in a Temple like this. Although he carried none of his usual weapons, Kiel and his brother Cairne were not wholly unarmed. Both were quite well trained with the Force, thanks to Zion's guidance in the past. Not wanting to be caught off guard, Kiel reached out with the Force. After all, this could be a trap. But it didn't take him long to sense it was alright. There was some apprehension, but that was to be expected. As he withdrew his focus from the Force, he studied the young woman as she stopped just short of them. He gave a slight nod, before he bowed in return. Cairne and Kanika followed suit It's a pleasure to meet you Knight Mentor Emberbreeze... My name's Kiel Morviael, and this is my brother Cairne, and my sister Kanika... I assume my cousin is not here, since you are the acting Headmaster, right? I must say, he chose a very gifted replacement.

Sarissa had felt the man's earlier probing through the force as she had approached. It seemed both sides at this meeting were curious about one another. But at the very least, it seemed his mild probing was all he intended to do. Like her, Kiel was being careful not to have walked into a trap, if indeed he was Kiel Morviael. Prime scanned each face as the introductions were done, whilst also matching the voice samples. When positive matches were given, he gave a slight nod to Sarissa. Allowing her to be a little more at ease in the company of the trio that had just landed.
At the very least, they looked and sounded like the people they claimed to be. Though, it wouldn't be the first time clones had been sent to attack Zion. However, she was fairly certain the Cinn Ion were not dumb enough to try the same trick twice. For now, she would observe them, and keep an eye on them until Zion returned. She was pretty certain he would be able to tell then, if they were the real deal or not. She couldn't help but smile at his praise. He was certainly a charmer, that was for sure"You would be correct. Master Morviael is currently attending to other business. But I would be more than happy to show you around, or find you a place to stay until he returns? I can't say I know his expected return, but I don't imagine he will be gone too long..." The entire flight was now about an hour and a half away from the temple. Riddick sent his credential package, and layout of the entire convoy to the temple's communications team, prior to speaking. He wasn't too thrilled about not getting a response the first time he requested a message be sent through, and it showed when he did speak.Temple Approach, Staple One Actual. I requested a message sent to your leadership, no joy on response. We're an hour and a half out, make sure they get it, and we get an answer. How copy? As the flight came down towards the Temple, the flight controller for the Temple airspace was a little surprised. He had been pretty certain the convoy was headed for the RDMC, since that was where most supplies went, and Princess Matango was found more often than not. Not that it really mattered, as he opened a comm line backStaple One Actual, this is Temple ATC. Approach confirmed, hangar bay 3 is clear for landing. Negative on message to the Princess, she is currently off world at this time, As is Master Morviael. Lady Elios is currently available, if your need is urgent?

Riddick approached the dock superintendent and explained briefly why they were there before proceeding into the temple with company in tow. A trio of rotorcraft known as Sólyom's traversed the airspace between Nystao and the Temple of the Honoghr Conclave, with the lead craft bearing Rebecca, Raven, and Tiffany. The other two craft each contained a squad of Chiss Commando's to act as Lady Rebecca's bodyguards, since she was currently the highest ranking government official. She had hoped to avoid all this fuss over her, after moving to Honoghr. But with Ice and Zion off world, her and Sarissa had to step in for the pair. Rebecca looked out the edge of the Sólyom as they passed over the landing area where the transports from Ossus had landed. It was strange to see some of the gear they were offloading being done here. Nystao's spaceport was more than large enough, and the RDMC had a landing area. Either way, Tiffany had connected into the comm system and was heading up a small group that were coordinating with the crews of the transports. The Sólyom's began their descents a few moments later, wind kicking up in hangar bay 2 as the rotorcraft flew in through the entrance, before landing.

Rebecca remained slightly in the lead, as she led Riddick into Hangar Bay 2, where her security team moved aside from the entrance to allow them passage, and Rebeca motioned Riddick forward as she waited for the craft to arrive Since these are your goods, I trust you shall help me with the inspection? after all, I would not want to open something by accident that could be harmful....

Rebecca smiled at Riddicks comments, unsure if he had mistaken the intent of her words. Either way she lead the way across back to the turbolift, pausing before the lift. She examined the man, leaning forward ever so slightly, and sniffed a little. Due to the rare condition she had, which had manifested itself a couple hundred years ago, she could literally smell the Force. For her, it was like being presented with a dish that had a pleasing aroma. on some, typically those who were nor force sensitive, it was a weaker smell. But it was a stronger smell on all force sensitives equally. She smirked thenI certainly have a taste for the exotic. But not quite in the same way...To most outward appearances, Rebecca was a regular Chiss female, with a force presence to match. However a closer inspection at such a range would have revealed her elongated canines when she smirked, and if the chance was taken, her cybernetic nails. The lift doors opened then, before Rebecca ushered Riddick in and they were taken down through the Temple's many floors With a pointedly direct, but tactful and subtly playful demeanor, Riddick responded. In whatever way it is, you should find it satisfying. To some extent, it is a little disappointing that too much from my world goes unappreciated, or altogether unnoticed by those not of my world. Riddick follows her cue, and proceeds into the lift.Rebecca remained slightly in the lead, as she led Riddick into Hangar Bay 2, where her security team moved aside from the entrance to allow them passage, and Rebeca motioned Riddick forward as she waited for the craft to arriveSince these are your goods, I trust you shall help me with the inspection? after all, I would not want to open something by accident that could be harmful.... The crates had already started coming in at a steady rate from the cargo ship, since the craft was too large to fit in the hangar. Riddick guided Prarr'ebecc'aelios over to where there was already a decent stack of containers.Well, we did make sure that anything that could be considered harmful is only so through action. Sitting there, none of it will do anything. Pick a container to start with and we will go from there.

Rebecca offered a nod in return, before approaching a group of crates that had been offloaded together. She started opening the crates and examining the goods within A small selection of your planets wares, I assume?

She started opening the crates and examining the goods withinA small selection of your planets wares, I assume? For the most part, yes. Riddick stepped over to a couple he had marked personally, opening one of them up and reaching in, pulling out a hand full of beans. You might like this. We call these cacao beans, you all know it as chocolate. Like others who know what it is, we use it in candy, desserts, and other goodies. We, Ysanna, also have been known to to mix it with a plant we call tabak for smoking, and also serve it as a drink mixed with spices. I figured it might be a welcome addition to bring this over, so you can grow it when your terraforming is complete. These crates were provided specifically for the Matango government, the RDMC, and the Jedi.

Rebecca followed Riddick over to the crate of cacao beans. It had been a few decades since she had last laid eyes on the peculiar bean, since it wasn't a plant that thrived in the arctic temperatures of Csilla. But the products that were made using it were still fairly abundant upon Honoghr. She stifled a laugh as Riddick referred to the Honoghr Conclave as Jedi. It was hard for Rebecca to still hear people call Zion a Jedi. He certainly had very differing views to many of the Jedi she had met in the past. Perhaps once he returned, he would enact some changes to better bring the Conclave to his ideology. Rebecca grabbed a handful of the beans, rather impassively looking at them as they ran through her hand Certainly a very multi-purpose plant. I have no doubt the government, the RDMC, and the Conclave will be grateful for such a generous donation to them. No doubt we'll be able to make use of them. I am certain our local botanist will be quite pleased to add a new seed to his collection... She tilted her hand to the side then, the last few beans dropping from it and landing back within the crate. She was quite certain Shedo would be joyous about getting the chance to re-engineer the one plant his people had wiped from so many worlds. There was quite a collection of crates, each with various products that Ossus produced, or so she assumed they did It is a rather large gift basket you have brought. I assume it is all offered to us as a humble gift? If I might be so bold, as to ask if perhaps you can show me the rest?

A noble ideal to be sure when making things... Rebecca spent the next several minutes, examining each crate and looking over the goods within. For the most part, she recognised a number of items that had been brought as gifts. For those that she did not, Riddick was able to provide a quick explanation to her of them. There were some goods that she was certain a number of local businesses might be interested in purchasing. So she made a note on her datapad for Tiffany to ensure samples of them were shown to local businesses. Once the inspection was presumably done, she turned to Riddick It is quite the showing of goods. I am sure some of these materials and products would hold an interest for local businesses. Though obviously such decisions would be made by them. However, I am certain a trade agreement can be sorted out down the road to encourage interaction between the businesses of our two worlds.

However, I am certain a trade agreement can be sorted out down the road to encourage interaction between the businesses of our two worlds. Much of it would, I am sure, be well received by local merchants. Just remember, the trial weapons and ammunition I have brought are for security purposes, though I am sure that there would be at least a modicum of interest weapons of these types, especially given the relative niche they would fit amid blasters, and the weapons you have provided from the Ascendancy. If there is a market for those, I would think it better to have our weapon manufacturers deal directly with customers, and set up shop on worlds that show a reasonable interest in them. The remainder is as much for your enjoyment as a potential sampling of our goods. Though the local mercantile would be responsible for selling it, Honoghrs leadership would have the yes-or-no vote on trading with other worlds, as much as I would prefer a more laissez-faire approach to the markets. What better way than to sway it favorably with a showing of what can be produced? As a trade-route world, Riddick did make it a priority to have Ossus establish itself well in terms of imports and exports, especially considering the tremendous strides the world and it's populace had made in the last few centuries. As such, Riddick promoted a hands off policy concerning business and the markets of Ossus. With only a handful of base rules from the Siridar (the tribal council), businesses would be free to pursue a path that was best for the business, and for the population. Anything that went against that would be dealt with appropriately, possibly leading to the closure of a company if it were that severe an offense. With things booming as they were, Riddick himself could only help but sing the praises of the things his people made, and the people who made them, and would simply need to pass them on and let the rest of it all speak for itself. He was fairly sure that what he brought would find an audience.

Although Rebecca had been dubious of the weapons, but the moment he called them trial weapons, she was only more apprehensive about them. There was more than a dozen varieties of proven and trusted slugthrowers on the market. It was a wonder anyone still made such inhumane weapons. True enough, it was difficult for a force user to block their ammunition with a lightsaber. But rogue force users were a rarity, and even then, that was what the Honoghr Conclave was for. Slugthrowers were messy weapons of violence, meant to torture those they were used against with wounds that were more gruesome than the slug itself. At least with a blaster or a charric, you had the knowledge that the weapon had a stun function as a first resort, with live ammunition as a back up. Even then, blaster wounds at least gave a doctor or medic a chance to patch up the average offender and allow proper justice be served As the head of Honoghr's defence force, I can say in all honesty that such... test weapons will not find themselves in the hands of anyone. Security or otherwise. Keeping the peace is a delicate job, without the potential mishap from a weapon that has not be properly tried and tested, like the small few makes of slugthrowers that we do already have. Not to say that the Honoghr Conclave, or even the Princess Matango herself, might wish to use them... As for weapons provided by the Ascendancy, such a statement is incorrect. Me and my people merely represent the noble House Elios. We only represent our own people, and not that of the wider Chiss. Whilst it seems a nonsensical distinction, it is an important one, and one that I would appreciate that you understood. After all, misunderstandings could lead to an unprovoked attack against our former homeworld. Whether we still call it home or not, does not diminish our responsibility to ensure its safety... Rebecca paused a moment, glancing across the crates of gear assembled there before her. It was a very touchy topic for her, and thus when it was broached, so did find herself getting carried away. Taking a breath, she turned back to Riddick As for how our market works, the only yes-or-no say the government has, comes with trading with worlds we are at war with, or with whom have ties to tyrannical governments. After all, no matter how free of a market you wish to have, I would be correct to say that Ossus would not allow merchants to supply known hostile elements with weapons that could be used against yourself or innocent civilians, no? The only real hand a trade agreement would serve, would be to provide incentives for businesses to purchase goods and materials from allied worlds. Whilst I will not profess a deep understanding of economics, I do believe that lower import and export taxes are nice incentives for businesses to prefer a business from Ossus over a competitor business from another world... There was a reason she had left politics behind when she had come here. She had little tolerance for nonsense and delicate political talk. It was the reason that Ice had appointed her the head of the Honoghr Defence Force. Within a matter of months, she had reorganised the entire thing into an efficient working unit. So, to be back in such a position as this. Suffice to say, Rebecca was keen to see this business dealt with as quick as possible for the time being
