*Ze drops out of his Makashi stance and deactivates his yellow lightsaber after Belaya throws her hand up to stop the test. Ze's initial thought is that he had injured her, and takes a step forward to make sure she is alright, but fortunately she appears to be fine as she dusts herself off. It seemed that the Sullustan pilot, Bob, needed to mop his cargo hold more often to prevent such severe dust accumulation*
*Ze thinks about her question for a moment, replaying the scenario through his mind*
"By using primarily gross motor skills combined with full strength attacks you managed to counter my manipulation of your blade simply through brutal force. And while such a form is unrefined and bold, you were able to overcome my defense and force me into a retreat. However, with your attack and focus being singular in purpose, you exposed yourself to alternative attacks which I ultimately was able to exploit. I assume that there are lightsaber forms better suited to combat such a furious assault than Makashi, and that in the future I would be able to draw upon such forms in order to gain an quicker advantage and not sacrifice as much footing."

*Belaya nods.*
Makashi is the second form and it is particularly ineffective against the form I was using. The form I was using was Djem So, a variation of form V. It relies on brute strength, to continue pressing the attack, knock your opponent off balance and cause them to lose ground.
However the form doesn't leave room for much mobility. I want you to note that it only takes a brief moment to change the flow of battle from one sentient to another. It took a moment's distraction to put me on the ground like that.
I think you will do fine if we find ourselves in a rough spot. Just remember everything that I've said and taught. For now, we will say this training session was successful. I want you to study over the form V. The Shien and Djem So varients. Remember, same as before, only form V. For now, I'm going to go check on our designated pilot.
*Belaya walks off to the cockpit.*

*Ze absorbs the information his master relays to him regarding this Djem So. Ze cannot envision himself using such a seemingly crude form, but he will study it none-the-less if for no other purpose but to learn how better to counter it. He bows to his Master as she takes her leave*
"As you wish, master."
*Ze eagerly sits down with the datapad but then realizes that he should probably repair the main hold's holoprojector. He places the datapad securely in his new Jedi-issued belt, then picks up the hydrospanner from earlier and sets back to work putting the projector back together*

*Belaya sits down in the co-pilot's seat, deciding to let Bob continue piloting the ship in peace. She had given him enough grief lately. She'd lay off. For now atleast. Instead she sat quietly enjoying the view of hyperspace. After sometime the ship comes out of hyperspace in Tatooine orbit and heads towards the surface.*

*After finishing reassembling the holoprojector in the main hold Ze takes out the datapad given to him by his master and begins reading up on the Fifth Lightsaber form. As with Makashi he takes his time and goes over the information several times. He also views the holovids of the form and the many stances. Overall, Ze finds learning about the Fifth form extremely difficult without having a base in the other forms - notable Form Three, which the data on Shien and Djem So referenced more than any other form. Stances and strikes from Form Three were used and expaned upon in Form Five, making it very difficult for Ze to learn. But he stays true to his Master's instruction and even though he finds is difficult to mimic the forms and movements of Shien without a basis in Soresu he does his best without referencing the other parts of the datapad. Perhaps this was another test from his Master? He would not fail.* *After some time, Ze feels the ships shudder as it exits hyperspace. No doubt they had arrived at Tatooine. He places the datapad securely in his Jedi sash and walks to the cockpit where Bob and his master are. Before them is a golden yellow planet with twin suns off in the distance.* "I believe you will be pleased to hear that I was able finish repairs to the main hold's holoprojector."=Bob= *The sullustan looks back in shock* <Repairs? But it wasn't broken!> "It may have been functioning, but it was not operating at peak efficiency. Thus I corrected this. Had I more time I would do similar repairs to your hyperdrive motivator, nav computer, port stabilizer and secondary weapons array."=Bob= *Bob is completely infuriated that this Verpine was messing with his ship. HIS ship!* <What the Force? I don't even have a secondary weapons array! This is a cargo ship!> *Ze looks over at the console to his right, next to Belaya and tips his head in interest* "Ah. Well that would explain the massive power drain when I attempted to re-route power from conduit Seven-B."=Bob= <Massive WHAT!?> "Power drain. I was attempting to re-route excess power from primary systems in order to compensate for the secondary weapons array's faulty wiring."=Bob= *Bob is literally shaking in anger that Ze would dare touch primary systems, let alone while in hyperspace* <BUT THERE IS NO SECONDARY WEAPONS ARRAY!> *Ze nods his head, clearly not processing the Sullistan's emotions* "Yes. I am now aware of this."=Bob= *Bob has his fists clenched and his mouth is hanging open* <I... just... don't touch anything else. Got it?> *Ze looks confused by the command. Bob did not wish for his ship to be more efficient? That seemed quite illogical, but Ze acknowledges that ultimately this was his ship. If he wanted to turn a blind eye to advancements that could greatly improve the ship, that was his decision to make. Ze however is a little hurt that Bob did not want his help - afterall he was just trying to make the ship better for Bob* "As you wish...."*Ze leans up against a bulkhead as Bob pilots the ship down to the surface of Tatooine* (Continued here)
