Caoimhe rolled her eyes at the pair of men as both of them argued over why not to take the remote, especially after all the work she'd gone through to get it out and give it a clean. When the men left, she walked over to the waste disposal unit in the wall and threw it in along side the other items that had been used for the operation, before closing the door and activating the incinerator. She then walked back over to a seat and watched Scott, checking the monitors as they slowly returned to normal after they had dropped slightly from the formerly lodged remote. She then began filling out the file as she waited around for a couple of minutes before she was happy that Scott was stable enough to release, so the droids removed the drip and placed a bandaide over it before helping the man to his feet as Caoimhe looked at him from over the top of the file =Caoimhe Morviael= You seem fine, so off you go. Remote's are not for eating, keep that in mind next time. Off you go. She sat and continued writing notes in the file as she watched Scott leave while the medical droids went about clearing the monitors away in preparation for what ever emergency may come in and need to use the room next. Caoimhe wanted to make sure Scott had left the room before she left herself, since she didn't trust the man or his fellows, especially not in a room full of medical equipment

As soon as the Mando laid Meony on the table, the girl begin to whimper in pain. Lyssa took up a syringe full of pain medication and injected it directly into the girls vein while the Mando spoke to Meony softly in Mando'a. Lyssa and the droids worked quickly, but efficiently, to get the girl medicated and begin treating her wounds. Glancing up at the holoscreen above the bed, Lyssa eyed the newly taken scans of Meony's injuries. She didn't like what she saw. There seemed to be more going on inside Meony's body than she first thought, not to mention there seemed to be more injuries this time around than the last. The young woman had suffered from multiple broken bones, burns, lacerations, bruises, and a possible head injury from a fractured skull. Her left elbow had also been dislocated and her left hand had numerous fractures in it. Lyssa also noticed that Meony's pinky finger, also on the left hand, was missing.
"Shit."
Lyssa muttered as she studied the scans on the holoscreen for a moment longer then set to work. The med droids, also familiar with the young womans healing abilities, were quickly working on reopening, properly repairing then stitching up the deeper lacerations, while a third droid was brought in to help Lyssa re-break the broken bones and properly set them in their correct positions. They bypassed the skull fracture for the time being since the scans showed little swelling of the brain. Of course this would be monitored as she and the droids worked to patch the girl up before her healing abilities took hold again.
Carefully, Lyssa popped the dislocated elbow back into place and took another scan of it. It had settled back into it's position nicely according to the readings the doctor was seeing on the screen. Satisfied with that, she moved on to the bones in the hand and painstakingly re-broke, repaired, and reset each one, while the first two droids were beginning to finish up their work on the newly open wounds and burns. Sighing, Lyssa looked to the holoscreen again and deducted that the lungs had only been bruised and not punctured, although the bruising had since healed. She proceeded to run her hands gently down the girls sides, using the Force, she felt out each fractured rib, which totaled seven in all, four on the left side, three on the right. Luckily, the ribs had healed fairly well with Meony's healing ability so Lyssa decided it was best to not aggravate them any further.
The droids had Meony's wounds stitched and bandaged by the time Lyssa was done with her assessment of the girls ribcage. Carefully, gently, and using her fingertips, Lyssa inspected Meony's skull. Narrowing her eyes, she chewed on the inside of her lip as she ran her fingers over the top of the young woman's head. She felt an abnormality in the bone where it hadn't healed properly. This worried her because it could mean that it was possibly putting pressure on Meony's brain. Looking up, she knew Cammy was somewhere nearby because she had sensed her presence earlier and could still sense the other doctor. Taking one hand off of Meony's head, she used it to pull her com link out of the pocket of her scrub pants.
"Dr. Morviael....could you please come to hangar room three, ASAP? I have a patient that I need a consultation on. Thank you."
Sliding the comlink back into her pocket, she eyed the big Mando, who had been silently altering his gaze between Meony and a strange looking group that had brought in someone with another injury. Raising an eyebrow, she gazed back down to the girl and continued to examine her skull while she spoke softly to the Mando.
"We've repaired the broken bones and patched up the wounds. Now we need to keep her healing ability subdued so the wounds can heal properly. Dr. Morviael can tell us more about what's going on inside of her head. It may be nothing serious, but I don't like the looks of the skull fracture and Cammy is admittedly more of an expert in that field than I am. We'll also have to keep her sedated for a while so she won't re-injure herself.
You seem to be Meony's friend. What happened to her? Any details you can give will be helpful."
She removed her hands from Meony's skull and folded her arms across her chest. Tilting her head slightly to the side, she Studied the Mando with interest....

*Not an easy question to answer. Spectre wasn't the type to shy from an answer. Even from such a lovely and brightly dressed female like her. No, it was the answer he gave that would not be easy. It would be hard to understand. Even Spectre had a hard time understanding. But with all she did, he couldn't not tell her. It would be rude.*
"This isn't easy to explain."
*Spectre took off his buy'ce to reveal his pale skin, platinum blonde hair that came down to his chin and amber eyes.*
"I was on Pantora, doing something which I can't remember now, and was ambushed and left for dead. My armor was sabotaged to prevent it from resuscitating me and left for dead. That's when the Moon Goddess came to me and saved me. I had been dead for 5 minutes, then she brought me back."
*Spectre looked at Meony*
"She told me I have to save her in return for saving me. She said she was in Choal and that I had to hurry. When I did find her, there were two Doctors working on her. Both had glasses, one male one female. The male was a typical middle aged human. The female, she was a different story. She made me nervous, tall thin pale with long black hair. And razor sharp toothy grin. What they did, I have no idea. I just got there in time to get her out."

"I need Jedi!" One of the many entranceways of the Red Dawn Casualty Reception and Emergency sector slid open to reveal the short, stout figure of a green-skinned being wearing a dirtied brown robes and tunic, with long, grey-white hair that hung in braids down to his tridactyl feet. His face was lined with age and his teeth yellowed, but his grey eyes remained sharp and piercing. The sharp claws of his hands were long and ragged, as were those of his feet. His chest heaved, scrounging for breath. The creature was a Jedi, by the name of Gunter Andril. He had recently awoken from a meditative state that had lasted for over five years, an awakening prompted by the onset of conflict that had exploded within the energy fields of the Force. Surrounding him, undetectable to most other beings, was the Force itself. It swirled about his presence, creating pools and eddies within his soul and mind, rent with the myriad emotions and memories of countless people, creatures, planets.
Gunter stepped forward, struggling to maintain his footing. His claws marked the duraplast of the door frame with his grip in the effort to remain standing. The emergency area was filled with personnel, Jedi, non-Jedi, physicians, surgeons, nurses, all bustling about conducting checks on patients, updating chart data on their commlinks, transporting patients or preparing for operation. One of these, a Human doctor with shaggy brown hair, glanced Gunter's direction but didn't seem to notice him standing in the door way, the curse of any short-statured species. Gunter felt his knees buckle, his prolonged meditation had left his body weak and awkward. He had struggled for hours from the Jedi Temple after waking to find the place mostly abandoned. "I…neeeeed….J-je…." The green-skinned Jedi sank to the floor, his muscles too exhausted and atrophied to hold him up any longer. Unconsciousness began to creep along the edges of his vision. Gunter outstretched a clawed hand, hoping to grasp the attention of a passerby. He thought suddenly to plant his sense of need into the Force, designing it like a bomb to detonate in the minds of those who were blessed with its overwhelming presence. If there were any Jedi left on Honoghr, if they hadn't already been killed in the war…they should hear him in their hearts. Fear gripped the aged Jedi as his mind began to fray into the nothingness of unconsciousness, fear that the war he sensed had already begun.
Or worse…been ended.

Zion's attention was suddenly grabbed by the small green looking creature that burst into the emergency room, looking around frantically at everyone. He then felt a strange surge of power after the creature began to try say Jedi, causing him to rise to his feet and rush over to the creature before it collapsed, getting down onto one knee as he collected the creature into his arms and stood up, lifting the creature with him =Zion Morviael= You are in safe hands... He then rushed over into one of the empty emergency rooms and placed Gunter down on the bed in the middle of it, before moving back to allow any medical droids to attend to the creatures medical needs. As he stood there he felt a strange aura about the creature, the force swirled about the creature in a way he had rarely seen it react. He had a feeling he should hang around and wait till the creature comes to, to see what he wants from the jedi

The green-skinned being's ears twitched and his lip curled. The medical droids began their work, scanning and assessing, but Gunter knew, even in his muddled state, that his ailments hardly exceeded some inflamed joints and minor dehydration. Long-lasting meditative states were not new to the small Jedi, though five years was excessive even for him. Gunter remembered years he had spent absorbed similarly within the Force, for months at a time. As the man, Zion, stayed close to Gunter's bed, the green-skinned Jedi felt his presence strengthen in the Force. Gunter recognized this man, not for who he was, but for what he represented. He was a Jedi, he must have been. The Jedi remained on Honoghr. This was good. Gunter's heart rate slowed, his breathing began to normalize, his lip relaxed and his ear ceased twitching. All the sensors began reading normally.
Suddenly, and without warning, Gunter shot upright, his eyes wide. He clamped a clawed hand in a binder-like grip over Zion's wrist, looking up at him. "Adiemus. Adiemus Matango. Is he alive? Has the war begun?" The man seemed to hesitate in answering. Gunter shook his arm, "Tell me! Has war begun?" The man seemed confused, even the droids around them paused, unsure of how to handle a resisting patient. Gunter released Zion's arm from his grip, turning his body and letting his legs hang over the edge of the medical bed. He pressed his palms to his face, rubbing his eyes. "Long in meditation, I have been." He grunted, pulling his hands from his face and staring at his claws. "Too long." He looked up at Zion once more. "Gunter Andril, is my name. I am a Jedi of the Order. Arrived here, I did, five years ago. For meditation. For thought. Contemplation. Sorry, I am, if shocked you were." He looked down at the man's arm, ensuring he left no marks on his skin. "I must speak with the Jedi." Gunter insisted.

And razor sharp toothy grin. What they did, I have no idea. I just got there in time to get her out." Lyssa watched and listened as the Mando took off his helmet and being to speak. His explanation of how he came to find Meony didn't really help Lyssa deduct what had happened to the girl other than the fact that it sounded like she may have been tortured and/or experimented on. Which would explain the severe degree of the wounds. He spoke of the "Moon Goddess" guiding him to Meony and Lyssa wasn't quite sure what to make of that. It could've been the Force at work, since he seemed to be Force sensitive, or this goddess could've just been part of his own mind. Glancing back to the girl, Lyssa was contemplative for a moment before she heard one of the droids chattering about the missing pinky finger on Meony's left hand. Casting a quick look at the Mando, she turned and inspected the hand again, noting that there was the tiniest of growths right in the middle of the stub of where the finger once was. The growth was no bigger than a tiny wart at the moment but it definitely wasn't there when they first examined the girl. Lyssa chewed the inside of her lip as she looked more closely at the stub and gently ran her fingertip over it. Straightening up again, she smiled before speaking to the Mando and the droid."It looks like the finger may be growing back again. With her healing abilities it's quite possible for it to do so. If that's the case, then it should be fully regrown in about a standard week, I'd say. I would like to keep her here at the med center during that time to monitor the progress of her other injuries also. We'll slowly take her off the immuno-suppression drugs over the next twenty four to forty eight hours to let her natural abilities take over and finish the healing process, though we'll keep the basic I.V. solution for a little while so she gets the nutrition her body needs until she can eat on her own again."She met the Mandos amber gaze with her own hazel one and thought he looked a little weary. She knew she should probably feel threatened by a full beskar'gammed Mando standing in front of her given the fact that the Mando's were at war with nearly the whole damn galaxy, namely Forcelings, but oddly enough she wasn't....but then again not much actually scared her anymore after centuries of seeing war after war and the death and destruction left behind in their wake. Though, if she was correct about him being a Forceling himself, then that might explain why he didn't seem to be involved in the war at the moment and wasn't trying to kill every other Forceling in the hangar. Raising an eyebrow, she titled her head to the side a little and spoke again."I just realized I never introduced myself. I'm Dr. Lyssa Ramaela. And while I know Meony from her past visit, and that you're obviously Mandalorian, I don't know your name." She held his gaze, with a thoughtful look on her face, while the med droids prepped Meony for a move to a private room.

Zion barely flinched as the creature known as Gunter grabbed at his left wrist, gripping the bracer that covered it instead. Zion waited as Gunter calmed down a little, after he had suddenly returned to consciousness and started rambling on about Adiemus Matango, whom he could only venture a guess was related to Ice somehow, before he started rambling on about a war. He placed his hand on Gunter's shoulder as he insisted on talking to a Jedi =Zion Morviael= Be calm my friend, you do speak with a Jedi. My name is Zion Morviael, recently appointed to the Honoghr Temple. I do not know who Adiemus Matango is, but I am afraid to inform you that the Mandalorians have already started their war against the Force Users. I fear that what ever news you may have had about this war, it is now too late... Blood had already been spilled and swords had already started to clash, All they could do now was hope that the Jedi Order could actually do their jobs and contain the war, or that the Mandalorians would grow tired of what ever disillusioned idea was urging them to call war against force users. If he was honest, he felt the latter was more likely, mostly since he lacked any real faith in the new joint Jedi Order, which was made up of several smaller academies working as an alliance

Gunter listened to the news Zion shared with him regarding the onset of the Mandalorian invasion taking place. His ears drooped slightly and a great weight solidified in his heart. Adiemus Mantago had led the Jedi of Honoghr in the years before Gunter had entered his meditative state. Before leaving for the Jedi Temple, Gunter had made Adi aware of his plans. Conflict throughout the galaxy had been lessening at the time, and he had wanted to be ready for the Jedi should war come again. The news that conflict had once against exploded onto the galactic scene saddened him greatly, though Gunter knew his years in solitude had produced much benefit. His connection with the Force was stronger than it had ever been, and in unlocking the secrets to the Cerean crystal and the power that it held, Gunter was capable of aiding the Jedi more readily than he had been five years ago.
Awake and clear-minded, Gunter drew his cloak around him and slipped off the edge of the medical bed and onto the cold floor. His clawed feet dug slightly into the material as his frustration mounted. His meditation had lasted so long his muscles had atrophied, just slightly, giving him an awkward sense of balance for the first several minutes until he collected his thoughts. "Jedi Zion," he spoke, tilting his head towards the entrance of the bay as he stepped out of the room and into the main hall of the emergency ward. "If you will join me, there is knowledge I must share that goes beyond the depth of the brewing war." He turned and waited for the other man to join him. "I need to be made aware of the events of the passed several years. And speak, I must, to the Master in charge of the Jedi here." Gunter watched the other Jedi with his grey eyes. He seemed young, and capable, Gunter could sense the Force strongly within him. He had washed his soul in the minds of the Jedi of the galaxy during his meditations, and come to know the great strength and conviction that ran deeply within the Order in the present age. Pride swelled within him, and his worries seemed to lessen in their weight. The Order was prepared, Gunter knew, to face the coming obstacles on the path to peace. Already he had gleaned knowledge of the restructuring of the Order, and the great might that such unity had brought them.

It gives him a sense of accomplishment as he lets out a sigh of relief. He thinks to himself, "you did it you fool. You came through." But it is short lived. As friendly as she is, she drops a bombshell on Spectre. What is my name? His eyebrows furl as he thinks very hard about this. He let out a drawn out um as he strains to figure it out as well. He looks back up at her, as vibrant and beautiful as she was, he could not answer her. He wanted to but couldn't. Finally he answers because he can sense she didn't want to confuse him and felt a little embarrassed for posing such a simple and innocuous question so innocently.*
"Ummm.....I don;t know."
*He looks down and then back up at her with concern on his face as to why he didn't know.*
" I know what I am. A Mandalorian Executioner. An assassin. I can remember my training by my father, but I can't remember who that is. I can't remember anyone from my family. I know lots of things but I just don't know who I am."
*For the sake of ending the awkwardness he comes up with something to be called.*
"I died and came back by the mercy of the Moon Goddess. A ghost of a man. So call me.......Spectre. My name is Spectre, Dr. Lyssa Ramaela and it's very nice to meet you. I just wish it hadn't been under such weird circumstances."
*His amber gaze locks with hers. He has the look of both predator and prey. his platinum eyebrow locked in a quizzical yet discerning arc. It wasn't easy not knowing. He didn't want to cause any harm to her, especially since she helped the Moon Goddess. But something about her set him more at ease. Like she had an inner glow, almost like the Goddess herself. Spectre wasn't the type to drop his guard and he didn't, but he felt like he could trust her on some level to help protect the Goddess. In her own way of course.*

Zion watched as Gunter got off the bed before making his way out of the room and into the main hangar, he then followed close behind as the yoda like creature spoke of sharing knowledge that went beyond the depths of the brewing war and stated he needed to be brought up to date with current events. Zion then chuckled as Gunter asked to meet with the Master of the Jedi here, which just only two hours past had become him =Zion Morviael= Well my friend, I'm afraid that I am once again the answer to your question. I have been appointed as Master of the Jedi Temple here just a couple hours ago. Perhaps it would be wise of us to retire to the temple to discuss these matters further, would you not agree? I am just about to head there myself... He then motioned towards his Barloz class Heavy Freighter which was sitting halfway along the far wall of the hangar from where they were currently standing. He really did need to name the ship, but had so far not owned her long enough to come up with something that suited her, but he had a couple names kicking around already that may prove themselves worthy of it

Post by Krystal "Meony" Tancredi on Aug 16, 2013 4:44:48 GMT -8
“Awaken, young Tancredi.”
There are many things I do not remember. But this...this stayed with me. This dream, this memory; it was the only thing that ever happened to me that I distinctly remember with such great clarity. And I know why it was so important. No matter what else had happened or what I was in my past before the Great Amnesia...not that I had a lot of memories or lived a long time, but this was what will define me from there on. I heard an aged, withered voice that called out to me. As I slowly opened my eyes, I knew one thing: I’m not on Honoghr anymore, or at least, not where I was initially brought to. I was in a foggy clearing, in a swampy area. While it held a surreal, dreamlike quality, I didn’t think it was a dream at all. It was too clear in my mind and eyes, and I could feel everything. The dampness of the air, the smells, the sounds. There was something big growling hungrily not too far away. But nearer to me, seated on a fallen log, just at my foot, was a wrinkled and green creature.
It was dressed in light brown cloth, and even though seated, it leaned heavily on the small walking stick in its hand. “Wh-where...am I? Who are you?” I ask.
“Where?” It replied, almost coughing out, “Where you ask...when within you, the answer to that is.” It pointed at me with the end of its stick.
Okay? So, the answer was within me. Well, that didn’t really tell me much. Well, what about my other question? “And what about who are you?”
“Whispers in the Force I am...” it’s long pointed ears curled animatedly as it replied, with a hint of sadness in its tone. “Yoda, some call me. Long have I lived, much have I seen. But never, one like you have I seen.”
Was that a good thing? “Is that a good thing?”
Yoda wearily looked up at me as I sort of shifted from lying on my back to kneeling close to him. I’m guessing it’s a he, because honestly, I’ve never seen a species like him. “On your choice, that depends, young Tancredi.”
“You can call me Meony,” I said, “Tancredi sounds kind of too formal.”
I didn’t know why I was so comfortable talking with him. Normally I’m wary of people I’ve newly met. But maybe it’s the grandfatherly nature he gave off, either way, he chuckled at me, and shook his head lightly, “Meony. Much have we to discuss. Come.”
He easily hopped off the log he was sitting on and slowly walked towards the imposing mist surrounding the small clearing like a wall, and for some unearthly reason, I followed after him, easily keeping pace beside him. When we left clearing, we were now at the mouth of a cave. He turned around and pointed at me, “Into the cave you must go.”
Why was I not surprised that it was going to say that? Oh, that’s right, because the cave looked creepy, huge, dark and scary. And I was getting these ominous feelings from it, the kind that tells you that large hideous monsters are waiting inside the shadows for you to go in, so they can jump you, and tear your entrails out and eat you alive. Mmm-mm, yummy. For the monsters. “What’s in there? I can feel...danger...from within.”
“Only what you take with you.” He sat down on another log – there seemed to be a lot of them in this swamp – and lowered his head, no longer paying any attention to me. I got the feeling that I wasn’t going to get anything else out of him, and while my every instinct told me to run the other way, I foolishly emboldened myself, and walked into the darkness.
To my relief, there was light further in, and I could hear a voice. I rounded a corner, and I saw figure in a hooded black robe, seated before a campfire. It was chuckling, and slowly turned its entire body, eventually revealing to me a very shriveled, disfigured old man. He was smiling at me, showing me yellowed teeth, but those eyes...age and rot wouldn’t do that to his eyes! “Don’t worry, child. Don’t let my scars frighten you. I am just a weak old man.”
I stood there for a while, unsure about taking the risk of getting closer. Men in general intimidate me. But he is old, so even if he is dangerous, I should be able to make a quick getaway if necessary, right? I weighed out the pros and cons of taking a chance, and he beckoned me closer with a hand, “Come...come child, old Palpatine won’t hurt you. I just want to see you better in the light.”
I shrugged slightly, and walked over to the campfire, sitting across from him, with the fire burning between us. My movements felt dreamlike just then. What was that? It was almost like I was moving in slow motion, and I saw a glint in the old man’s eyes. He watched me in a way that made me nervous, yet at the same time, it put me at ease. I know that doesn’t make sense, but that’s how I felt at that point in time. I sat down cross-legged, and then I noticed that there was some meat roasting on the spit above the fire. Small animal and the smells were good. He gestures towards it with a pasty-white hand. “Come, have something to eat.”
I hold up a hand in refusal, “Thanks, but I’m not hungry right now.” I declined.
He nodded, “Yes, yes, of course. Such a sweet child.”
He was sitting on a chair made from the ground itself, so he was above me in height at the moment, with me sitting on the ground. He let his hands rest on his lap. “DO you know why you are here?”
I shook my head. “I was hoping someone would be able to tell me.”
“There is a great wisdom.” He said, “Only a chosen few can even begin to comprehend the depths of it. It is knowledge, my dear child.”
Knowledge. Knowledge is good, right?
“It is the key to unparalleled power. And the means to rule the weak.”
That didn’t sound too good.

Obadiah came walking back into the hangar bay area a few minutes after having left the ER, starting to get a hang of using the cane to walk with. He paused a moment as he saw a scantily clad woman perusing his ship, before he scanned the area and spotted Zion with a rather short, green looking fellow. He had a strong suspicion that the girl looking at his ship was with Zion, since squat, green looking, old men were most definitely not Zion's type, where as the woman wearing jean shorts and a tank top was. He then walked over to the starfighter as the young woman continued to study it, doing his best not to startle her when he spoke =Obadiah Traevis= She really is something else, isn't she? Designed and built her myself. Ain't another like her anywhere in the whole galaxy. The name's Obadiah, and you are?

“Yes...you suspect now, don’t you?”
Suspect what? That you’re a grade A lunatic? Yes. Anything else? Well...not quite yet. So I watched the old man in silence, trying my best to keep my feelings of anxiety to myself.
“You are one of the few, who can learn the secrets of the great wisdom.” His lips spread apart in a wide grin. “I can sense the great power within you.”
Wait, what? Back up there. He said that I have great power? Me? A stick of a girl? Well who am I to question it? I don’t even remember my real name or anything of myself. But still, I’m not sure that I like where this was going....
“I can teach you, child.”
Blink, blink.
“Under me, you will become a powerful new master of the Sith, and together, we will rule the galaxy!”
Gulp!
I don’t know what a Sith is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not pleasant, and ruling the galaxy? Puh-lease! I just want to get my memories back, find out who and/or what I am, and go home, if I have any home to go to. I started shifting uncomfortably in my position, and he noticed.
“Do you accept my offer?” He extended a shriveled hand towards me. “Accept your destiny, and take your place as my apprentice, child, and we will begin immediately, your journey to the Dark Side. You will root out the weak, and face the strong, and by defeating them, you make yourself stronger.”
Uh...no. “Uh...no.”
His smile dropped, and suddenly I felt a strong sense of foreboding. He looked three times scarier if that’s possible. “A shame...”
“I-I don’t know anything about ruling the galaxy, and...and I don’t like fighting, at all. Isn’t there a way to gain knowledge without violence?”
“There is no place for the weak. The strong overcomes the weak, and so, only the strong prevails, and gains power.”
In the waking world, tears poured out from my closed eyes.
The old man who called himself Palpatine rose from his seat in a menacing way. “Consider this offer carefully, child. Because I am only able to ask this once. Accept your destiny, embrace the power of the Dark Side, and fulfill your legacy.”
I arch an eyebrow, does he know who I am? Does he know my family? He said legacy...that means he knows something about it? Dare I take the chance? What if he’s just trying to get me to say yes? What if that is worse and there is really no turning back? I shook my head fervently after a long time.
“Yes...yes, I can help you find your family. Help you realize what you are. It is your destiny. This is your one and only chance, do not make the mistake like so many others.”
I’ve decided, it’s not worth the risk. I’d rather stay an amnesiac than head to the edge of no return. “I’m sorry. I can’t say yes to you.”
He dropped his hand and looked upon me in disgust, and I shrank back a little. “How disappointing.”
Slowly, both of his hands rose up once more, the fingertips pointing at me, “If you will not be turned to the Dark Side, then you are not a Sith, and if you are not a Sith, you are therefore, a Jedi. And if you are a Jedi, an enemy of the Sith, then, like all Jedi who meet me, you...will...die.”
Before I knew it, lightning burst out from his fingers, faster than the eye can see. I saw it coming, but I wasn’t fast enough to do anything about it. Why’d it have to be lightning?!? I hate lightning! Nothing frightens me more than that!
“ AAAIIIGH!” My scream echoed around myself, and I realized that this was indeed a nightmare, but one that affected me even in the real world. Because I screamed in both my dream and in real life, and as I remembered it, lightning and electricity arced over my body in real life like I was being short-circuited by something. I writhed in agony, screaming, and struggling in vain to escape the pain that burnt me from the inside out and from the outside in. I saw him through the haze of my vision, he was grinning in fiendish delight at my suffering, and his hands kept unleashing more and more bolts of lightning in unending supply.
My real body stops abruptly when the lightning in my nightmare does. Palpatine stopped, but why? I gazed up once more, smoke rose from my own charred body. “Foolish little girl...” he said in a pitying voice, “Only now you realize the full power of the Dark Side.”
His hands jerked, and I sensed him about to hit me with lightning again, only this time, I bolted. I fled the cave faster than I thought any human could run...am I human??? I can see the blue light arcing through the air and struck the spot where I was lying just moments ago. His eyes followed me, and I don’t wait to see if he turned his hands on me, and instead I fled back out through the mouth of the cave like I should have done from the moment I met that old man. I see Yoda, still seated on the log like when I’d left him, and I ran screaming towards him, “Help! He’sgonnakillmehe’sgonnakillmehe’sgonnakillme!”
Yoda looked up at me, and gave me the barest hints of a smile. “Passed the test you have, young Meony.”
“Test?!?” I cried, as in literally cried, like a little girl. I’m good at that. “We gotta get out of here! That psycho shoots lightning from his hands! Come on!”
“At ease be, young Meony. Hurt you anymore he will not.” Yoda raised his hands like he was trying to get me to pipe down. But I can already see something moving in the shadows. He was coming!
“Safe you will be, and powerful you will become, as you learn the ways of the Jedi.”
I froze, and looked down at him. This was sounding familiar. “Wh-what...?”
Yoda nodded his head, and somehow, I found myself kneeling down in front of him, even as the shadows at the mouth of the cave formed the appearance of Palpatine, who stepped out, and slowly moved to the side from the log. I shivered at the proximity of him with myself and Yoda, but Yoda seemed to be oblivious to his presence, and he continued to speak to me, Yoda, that is. “Resisted the Dark Side, you did, and resisted the Sith, you have. The path of the Jedi it is, to protect the weak, and learn the ways of the Light. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. Never, to attack.”
I waved away some of the smoke still rising from my body and paid helpless attention to Yoda, it was like talking to two sides of a mirror. “A path you have chosen, it seems, young Meony. To the Jedi, I welcome you.”

I shook my head, “J-just hold it...hold it, okay?”
I shot to my feet, and Palpatine and Yoda’s gaze followed me. Palpatine’s hood shadowed most of his face, but his eyes, they glowed an eerie yellow color which pierced even the shadows that hid most of his face. Yoda merely watched with great interest at my reaction, “I didn’t accept anything. I’m...I’m not accepting anything! I didn’t ask to be Jedi, or Sith. And both of you...you...you’re just dropping all this on me for...whatever reason. But I don’t know anything about being Jedi or Sith.”
Yoda chuckled and Palpatine cackled in a scary manner. Are they both working together?
“Protectors of the galaxy, the Jedi are.” Yoda said.
“The Sith rule the galaxy.” Palpatine explained.
“Serve the Light, we do...”
“...while we rule in the Dark. You can only be one...”
“...or the other. But never...”
“…neither, or both. If you are not in the Dark Side, then you are the Light.”
I look between the two of them, tears pouring out of my eyes again. “B-but…the Jedi...y-you fight, just like the Sith.”
“In defense,” Yoda agreed, “Never to attack.”
“It’s still fighting.” I knelt down before Yoda again, “If you’re fighting back, then you’re still escalating the situation.”
“Far great evil it is, to do nothing.” Yoda justifies.
“I can’t be a Jedi. And I’m not a Sith.” I got up and backed away as Yoda and Palpatine moved to either side of me.
“One or the other, you must be.”
“Rule in the Dark!”
“Serve in the Light.”
They both urged me to choose one, and their voices began to echo and reverberate in my head. In the waking world, I began to shift and struggle uncomfortably, tears pouring out through clenched eyes. “No...no…” I whimpered.
color=#FF0000]“I have foreseen it. Join the Dark Side!”[/color]
“Wars not make one great.”
“Use your hate! Strike down your foe!”
“ Control, control, you must learn control!”
“Power! Unlimited power!”
“A jedi you will be...”
I gripped both sides of my head with my hands, “Please! Enough! STOOOOOOOP!!!”
The last part that I shouted was shouted (very loudly, more than naturally possible) in the waking world. And then, at last, peaceful silence. I looked up, and I noticed that Yoda and Palpatine were still there, but they stood still, and silent now. I slowly rose to my feet. They were on either side of me, not looking at me but through me, and they were so unmoving. It’s like someone had stopped time itself here. Nothing moved, except for me...and something else. I saw the light, it was a glowing white that slowly built up in intensity, behind me. When I turned around, I was met with an almost blinding white brightness. But within, I caught a glimpse of a being. I think it was a woman, pure white in color, with almost no actual form, but she took on decidedly feminine characteristics. “Hello Meony.”
I didn’t answer back. After Yoda and Palpatine, I wasn’t sure I could handle a third person insisting I pick a side. I’ll pick the side that doesn’t fight. “It is curious. I’ve never met someone like you.”
Heard that before.
“You’re the opposite of a Wound in the Force.”
Hmm, never heard that one yet.
“That is why they could not understand you, nor could they sway your decision. They both sensed power, but they failed to understand your true purpose perhaps.”
“Let me guess...” I said then, dryly, “...you know my true purpose where they do not?”
“No, I don’t.”
Well that was unexpected!
“I can only offer to theorize what you are, but it is up to you to decide for yourself what you want to be. And you can choose to be neither Jedi nor Sith. There are such people.”
This was way better than what those two were offering. They were pretty much coercing me to choosing a side, and both of them are fighters. “So...uhm...what’s your theory?”
“You’re a Mend in the Force.” She said, “The opposite of a Wound. You heal and restore what once was, and have been sufficiently equipped for such a task. But you are neither light nor dark, you are both, and yet you are not grey. This may seem complex and difficult to comprehend, yet, it is simplicity in itself. You are a part of the Life Equation from Death.”
That’s...a LOT to take in. She moves closer to me, and I felt her taking my hands in hers, “You do have to make a choice. No being can be without purpose for even a moment. But you have been without one for some time now, as you have lost part of yourself. In so doing, you gained something new, and it must be directed. If you would choose a path that forsakes violence, to be neither Jedi nor Sith, to neither attack nor defend, then you embrace a third path, the Way of the Leaf.” She lifts one hand and extends it to me, holding in her bright white hand a five pronged leaf.
“The leaf does not fight wind, water, fire nor earth, it simply moves as it is directed, taking all, and giving all to everything. It is life, it is living, it is understanding, and it does not resist. In this simplicity of principle, it offers the greatest gifts to all sentient life: Life. You, as an adherent, will not be forced into the way, as a leaf would not do, you merely need to accept it into your heart as it does you.”
I listened to her, and all the while, I thought, that at last, I finally found something that does not force itself upon me or people. It’s exactly what she said, and what I respect. I look at the leaf in her hand, and without hesitation, like I had with Yoda or Palpatine, I picked up the leaf, and I pressed it to my heart. I felt a warmth building up within me, and I could see the woman’s face, she was smiling at me, she gently placed both hands on my cheeks and kissed me on the forehead, “Go forth and live your life, daughter. Remember the songs of the Spirit, and bring light to all who see you.”
In the waking world, a blazing golden light in the shape of a leaf appeared right on my skin where my heart is, burning through fabric and shining in bright heat and energy. I stopped crying then, and I uttered one word before I fell into a dreamless rest: “Mama.”

Zion watched as Gunter got off the bed before making his way out of the room and into the main hangar, he then followed close behind as the yoda like creature spoke of sharing knowledge that went beyond the depths of the brewing war and stated he needed to be brought up to date with current events. Zion then chuckled as Gunter asked to meet with the Master of the Jedi here, which just only two hours past had become him=Zion Morviael=Well my friend, I'm afraid that I am once again the answer to your question. I have been appointed as Master of the Jedi Temple here just a couple hours ago. Perhaps it would be wise of us to retire to the temple to discuss these matters further, would you not agree? I am just about to head there myself... He then motioned towards his Barloz class Heavy Freighter which was sitting halfway along the far wall of the hangar from where they were currently standing. He really did need to name the ship, but had so far not owned her long enough to come up with something that suited her, but he had a couple names kicking around already that may prove themselves worthy of it "Hrmmm…" Gunter growled, considering the magnitude of Zion's words. "You are young, to be a master," the green-skinned Jedi stated bluntly. "But not too young, I can sense," he completed his thought. Gunter continued on towards the Barloz-class freighter Zion had addressed that was resting within the hangar attached to the emergency ward. The young Jedi Master had suggested returning to the Temple."The Temple…it is decided," Gunter replied, crossing his weary arms within the sleeves of his tunic. He ached all over, though he would not allow any comfort for his body until he had absorbed all that this new Jedi had to say. Five years was a long time to be lost in the currents of the Force and Gunter needed to discover how best he would fit into the Jedi of the modern day. Gunter furrowed his brow in thought before speaking once more on their approach to Zion's vessel. "Where did they strike first? The Mandalorian Clans, that is…

Amber barely flinched a muscle as Obadiah approached from behind her and introduced himself, she was quite glad Obadiah had arrived when he had as she briefly glanced over towards Zion who seemed to have found a new friend to bring along with them to the Academy. She then turned her attention back to Obadiah =Amber Caird= She is, I'd love to have a good look at her with my bare hands... But I think it will have to wait, as Zion is ready to head to the Academy. The name is Amber by the way, Amber Caird. I think we should get this on board the Barloz, since Zion appears busy with Academy needs. Amber then offered any help that Obadiah would require to move the starfighter on to the Barloz class Light Freighter without having to bother Zion until they had gotten to the Academy. For now she would play host to Obadiah, not that she minded since it gave her more of a chance to check out this ship of his

Zion smirked as Gunter grunted and remarked that he was rather young to be a Master, but then looks could be deceiving, a fact which stopped him from being even remotely offended. Besides, Gunter had been in meditation for some time and so it was expected that he would be slightly grumpy and unsettled, especially considering the news the man had brought. He then walked alongside Gunter as they headed over towards the Barloz, he nodded briefly towards Obadiah to acknowledge the man as he stood talking with Amber. He would take care of Obadiah later, for now he had to take care of Gunter, since the man seemed quite troubled and could potentially share vital information for the Jedi. He then returned his attention to Gunter as they walked towards the ship =Zion Morviael= They hit Yavin IV first. Thankfully Ice managed to get the younglings and padawans off planet before the Mandalorians arrived for battle. There hasn't been much word other then that I'm afraid. People have been avoiding travel, since there is a blood thirsty horde of Mandalorians floating around out there, looking to kill any and all force users. For what reason is anybody's guess. There is rumours, but no one really believes half of them....

"Well this day just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. Just how far down is the rabbit hole? " Lyssa was about to comment on what Spectre had told her when all of a sudden Meony cried out. Lyssq quickly turned back to the bed, taking up the girls wrist in her hand and felt a rapid pulse, Looking up to the monitors, there was a definite spike in the girls vital signs as she thrashed about. As Spectre tried to hold Meony down, because she was shaking violently, Lyssa was about to inject her with some more of the sedative when the thrashing stopped and the girl spoke one word: "Mama." On the girls chest, where Spectres hand had been, burned a five point golden leaf and it was seemingly transferring to Spectres body also as he grabbed his wrist and fell to his knees. After a moment or so, Spectre looked around confused, removing the crushgaunt on his arm and sure enough the same five point leaf was burned into his left palm.
Lyssa simply raised a curious eyebrow before glancing to the monitors again, seeing that Meony vital signs had and her vitals returned to normal. She looked back over to Spectre when he started talking to some unseen force, but didn't judge the man. She'd seen stranger things in her lifetime and one man talking to himself wasn't even in the top ten of the list. When he jumped to his feet and tried to explain, Lyssa simply chuckled and held up her hand for him to stop as she took up a datapad with the other hand.No need to explain, Spectre. I have a feeling that something more is at work here than meets the eye. The Force works in mysterious ways and it seems to be working overtime today."She motioned to the med droids who swiftly ,but gently, moved Meony to a hovergurney and prepared to move her to a private room. Looking over to Spectre once again, Lyssa smiled."Let's just get her to a private room and then we can sit down and try to figure this all out. There will be accommodations for you in the room also, so you can be near Meony and continue to watch over her. We'll get you something for those burns, too. Hers will heal up nicely once her healing ability kicks in, and will probably leave the design intact. Yours will most likely do the same but since you don't seem to have the same healing factor, I don't want yours getting infected." With a nod of her head, the droids began moving Meony out of the exam room in the hangar bay and to the turbo life that would take them to the patients room inside the hospital....
