The heart of Coruscant's civilian tranportation. Millions flow in and out of this station at all hours of the day and night. |

Sitting onboard an overly crowded transport ship awaiting clearance to dock at the Coruscant Hub annoyed J'oven.
Pathetic lifeforms. Look at them. Twiddling away with their lives. No purpose. Like wild animals, they barely know they exist. Driven by their instinct to eat, breathe and breed. Pathetic, indeed.
Just as he completed his thought, he heard the voice of his father, Jansen Staburner.
J'ovey, remember son, compassion is the true essence of the force. Though it is easy to condemn ordinary beings, you must understand that the destiny of an ordinary man raising a family ican be as profound as any destiny that calls upon a Jedi.
J'oven closed his eyes and felt a slight grief. If only he could speak to his father now. He would have the answers to so many of his questions. But it has been over six years since his father passed. However, his father's words remain very much alive in J'oven's mind, and it times like these, continue to guide the man when he is lost.
To his right, J'oven caught a glimpse of the Jedi Temple, his destination. A sinking feeling fell upon him.
Am I doing the right thing? How will they perceive me? Will the fools listen?

The Bes'uliik dropped out of hyperapace above Coruscant, it's pilot taking a moment to silently appreciate the beauty of the planet from space before comming down to the planet to let them know he was peaceful. "this is Raziel Langor of the Langor clan of Mandalore. I have come to seek an audience with the Jedi council, you can scan my ship my weapons are not powered up and I have nothing illegal on board". Raziel continued to wait in orbit his sensor board blipped notifying him that he was being scanned he smiled to himself that they hadn't even spoken to him yet. When the light stopped blinking a gruff voice came over the com speaker "Mister Langor you have been approved to enter Coruscant a docking platform has been allocated to you in sector 5 outside federation square good luck with you meeting Coruscant Control out"
And with that Raziel began his descent to the planet already searching for the comm to the temple.

Sar'ack made it to the Hanger just in time to see Ellis packing aboard The Deep Dark, still in his armor. She hopped off her bike, and exclaimed;
"What are you doing?? You were supposed to take the interceptor!"
Ellis turned around, holding a box of weaponry and stared her down.
"I'll need to be fully prepared for anything once there. I know this ship inside and out, and we've been through everything together. It's saved my life more than once. You'll still have the interceptor and the cargo and prisoner transport. That is all you need, yes?"
Her voice wavered as she thought
"Yes.... I suppose. And your armor?"
"I'll be going into battle at some point, I presume. I might need it."
"So now you really have no reason to come back, do you..."
Ellis noticed the sad sarcasm in her voice, and stooped down to place the box on the ground.
"Verd ori'shya beskar'gam, bal Verd'ad draar digur. (A warrior is more than (his) armor, and A warrior never forgets)
Just because I'm going away, doesn't mean I will forget you. It will be hard, but....
Jorso'ran kando a tome; bal Re'turcye mhi. A Ret'lini... (We shall bear its weight together; and maybe we'll meet again. But just in case...)
He took her hand and placed it on his chest.
"Mhi solus tome." (We are one together.)
She sighed, looking down at the ground, before returning her eye contact.
"Mhi solus dhar'tome." (We are one when parted.)
At that, he turned around and picked the box back up, entering the ship. He came out a few more times to load the rest of the supplies and cut the fuel lines, before saying one final goodbye.
As he was walking into the ship to depart, she called out.
"Wait...!"
He turned to face her; she looked scared. She stood frozen for a second before taking his father's lightsaber and tossing it through the air to him. He directed it to him with the force and caught it, placing it on his belt. He disappeared into the ship and the doors closed, shortly followed by the engines priming, and the craft lifting off.
She muttered one last wish, as the ship flew from sight.
"Re'turcye mhi, ner Cyar'ika" (Goodbye, my Beloved.)

As the ship docked, a frenzy of security droids flooded the hub. Starburner looked at a News Holo which were playing scenes of the Academy explosion.
J'oven sensed an unusual disturbance in the force. He took his bag and moved towards the exit.

A 208 year old female Wookiee peered out from the shadows of a stone pillar at the edge of the landing hub. She had sensed a great disturbance in the force as of late and it was disturbing to her. Her brother, Wa'jacca had left the order years ago, since he had almost lost hope in the Jedi and believed they were simply political ambassadors now. A symbol of hope and courage but not able to truly fight if things came down to it.
Wajessh-aka, Jess did not share her brother's ideas. She had been trained in the force by their mother Kashyyyk and no matter the darkness that seemed to lurk around every corner, she forced herself to push on and try to uphold the values the Jedi were taught.
She saw Starbuner, and stepped forwards towards the disturbance. She used her walking staff and moved towards him confidently. <" You should not be here."> She told him in Shyriiwook.

Starburner was taken off guard by the wookie. He had been drowning in the sense of fear that had been created by the passengers and citizens that surrounded him.
He could sense the Wookie was strong with the force and clearly she could sense likewise.
"Jedi. This is convenient. Take me to your masters. I have an urgent message."
He looked sternly upwards at the large creature, unwavered in his determination, unintimitated by its size.

<"The Council is quite busy. How do I know I can trust you? I sense much darkness."> She eyed him suspiciously and noted that he was not fearful of her and strode over confidently. <"You can trust in me to deliver whatever message you need to relay.">

Starburner turned his eyes to his right and chuckled slightly.
"Interesting, Jedi are now message couriers? My Great-Grandfather told me once that the Jedi Order was falling apart, but never would I suspect this outcome."
He was rather pleased with himself for his attempt to humiliate the Wookie Jedi.
"Master Jedi, the message I bring to your council demands their attention and only their attention. I know you sense it..."
J'oven waved his arm to display the chaos that was unfolding.
"Look around you. Better yet, close your eyes and feel around you. Do you think this is coincidence. Surely, with your skills, you can detect the fear and anger that permeates all that surrounds us. However, tell me, are you capable of sensing that disturbance that lurks behind the obvious?"
Starburner put his hand on hers and slowly grasps it.
"Try harder. Open yourself Jedi. Open yourself to senses your order has forbidden you to explore. Only then can you lift the veil of distraction. It still remains very elusive. But you can feel it if you allow yourself."
He closes his eyes briefly then opens them to stare at the Wookie.
"It is this disturbance for which I NEED to discuss with your council. You must take me to them. There is no time for pleasantries."

The Wookiee narrowed her eyes at the man and snarled slightly, feeling a wave of powerful force energy emnate from him. She tried to control her anger and irritation. Once she managed to push aside her natural Wookiee rage, she inhaled and attempted to push down the barriers she had surrounded herself to protect herself from the dark ripples in the force that had recently arisen. They had been causing such disturbing proportions which she assumed was created by the recent terrorist bombings.
As she closed her mind, she allowed herself to open to the living force itself and realized this galaxy wide problem had been caused by something far worse than terrorist organizations. She thought she saw something in her minds eye but then was blinded with a flash of light and catapulted back into reality. She shook and shivered with shock, gazing at the mysterious man before her. She had to tell the Council of this...
<"You tell the truth.."> She murmered softly. She pressed a com button on her wrist cuff that called an air taxi that would take them to the Jedi Temple.
The droid driven taxi which was large enough for four passengers pulled up and the Wookiee climbed in, expecting the man to follow her.

J'oven followed the huge beastly jedi onto the taxi. This was indeed his first trip to Coruscant and while he had feelings of excitement and curiousity at the wonderous new sites before him, the feelings were tempered with guilt. He swore a pledge to his father and grandfather to uphold his Great Grandfather's oath to never use his abilities beyond the realm of Myrial. It was too late to turn back now.
Starburner surveyed the wookie, attempting to identify its age.
"How many years have you been a Jedi? Wookies typically live long lives. Are you old enough to remember Jedi Master Jonn Starburner? He was one of the council members to reform the Jedi Order shortly before the second coming of the Vong."
As the Taxi progressed, Starburner heard a loud male voice scream the word, "RHEEETTTT!" He had been hearing more and more of these voices as of late. He just now realized what these voices were.

Jess gazed thoughtfully at the intriguing man setting in the taxi next to her. <"It's been a long time. Perhaps one hundred standard galactic years that I've been a Jedi. My life has gone on longer than that though."> She was slightly cautious as to what she could disclose to this man, especially after the intense force vision she had witnessed after opening herself up more fully to the events and living force of the galaxy.
<"Starburner.. he sounds familiar. My mother may have known him. I am not familiar with some of the older Jedi, save for the files I have read on them in the Archives. She told me great things about the Jedi of that time. Starburner, Starkiller, Sykes, Scott, Chryss..."> She reeled off various last names of some Jedi. <"It would have been an honor to serve with them.">
The taxi continued to navigate through various traffic lanes, weeving through the never sleeping capital.
The Wookiee turned, hearing a voice, and her hand moved towards her walking staff instictively.
((I'm assuming the voice can be heard outloud?))

((It was actually through the force, but it's good. Perhaps Jess and Starburner have connected and she is tapping into what he senses as well))
"My Great-Grand father was Jonn Starburner. He was on the council with Obi Parcon, Tedan and Kariha, Vade... these are names he spoke of, sometimes with a sense of bitterness, as he left them because they could not agree, but always out of respect."
The taxi sped nearer to the Jedi Temple, closer than any Starburner had ever been in centuries.
It was glorious. Even though much if it was new in construction, the sheer magnitude of its presence was awe inspiring.
He muttered to myself, "my stars, it is beautiful..."
((continue to the Jedi Hangars))
