*Lee does not stir as the HK unit approaches him. However, as Kali yells, Lee's eyes quickly dart open and look up at the droid hovering over him. Before his instincts kick in, however, common sense quickly takes over this time to let him realize Kali has the situation under control. As HK leaves Lee sighs a breath of relief, doubting he'd survive the encounter otherwise. As Kali leaves him in T3's care, Lee's mind eases a bit and relaxes. He shifts back to a more comfortable position on his cot and looks over to T3 as eyes grow heavy.*
Appreciate it..sorry about earlier...with the chair.
*With the words once again barely uttered from his mouth, Lee lets exhaustion take him as he sleeps his way towards Coruscant.*

Biiizip!
*T3 turns around so his back is towards Lee. After Lee has falllen back asleep, T3 slowly rotates his head backwards to look at him*
Beep?
*When there is no answer, T3 turns back around and resumes his post*

*A private transmission is sent to the Ebon Hawk. When activated, it is a recorded message sent by Lee Smith to Kali Black. With it is a small holo image of Lee covered by his black Jedi cloak. Recording as follows.*
Hey Kali, I don't remember if I properly thanked you for saving my frozen carcass back there on Ilum. I do appreciate what you've done. Bringing me back into civilization and updating me the best you could on things that I missed out on, and there's so many things I have missed out on. I must also apologize for my actions, as I'm sure you've well noted. I'm still...recovering from my...disappearance. At any rate. You won't be seeing me around the Temple hardly at all, if any. Which I guess is good really, I always despised Coruscant for my own reasons and staying there for any amount of time is uncomfortable. But I also don't want you or anyone else to worry. I'm not dropping off the map again, but I am going to help some friends who need me. I've let too much happen in my absence and I've let too many people down because of it. I'm not repeating that mistake again. I'm going to help where ever I'm needed and maybe the galaxy can turn right side up again. Besides, I'm sure you've got a handle on how I am. I can't stay still for long, not while I can still fight and need to fight. And trust me, I'll be fine. This will be nothing compared to what I've been through.
*The image of Lee bows and fades soon after.*

*T3 wanders through the ship searching for Kali* Boop? Boop woooooop? *He enters the cockpit and finds Kali passed out over the controls. There are multiple bottles of Corellian Ale strewn around the cockpit. T3 nudges Kali several times* Boop? Beep beoop?
*Kali groans and picks her head up looking at T3* What? What time is it? Have we reached Coruscant yet?
Dwooooo.... beep boop beepweep.
*Kali shakes her head and looks outside the viewport window to see that the Ebon Hawk is parked in the Jedi Temple hangar bay* What! How the hell did..... who set us down?
Beep
Me!? Oh kark..... *looks around at the multiple bottles of Corellian Ale* Yeah... definitely don't remember that.
Bweoop?
What? No, I was not singing!
Beep boop.
Was not!
Beep boop.
I was not!
Dwooo....
Oh fine, whatever. Where's Lee?
Dweep.
He left the ship? Why? Did HK scare the kid away or something?
Boop beep. Translation: Maybe you did.
Oh be quiet! I wasn't that drunk!
Dwooo woooo....
Don't 'okay, whatever' me! Maybe I should drop you back off at Peragus?
Boop!
(*Sarcastically*) Oh that's right, Darth Ugly blew it up!
Bweep dwoop boop beep.
You won't tell me about what message?
Beep.
He left me a message? Oh, you little twerp.
*Kali spins around and types in the code to play the message from Lee. She listens to it and sits back in her chair thinking*
Sounds like me, back in the day. Rushing off to fight the next villain. When will these kids learn to just sit back and relax a bit? *Kali picks up one of the bottles and tries to drink what is left in it, but it's dry* Dammit.

Christopher comes aboard the Ebon Hawk, cautiously, not wishing to interrupt anything. He starts the central-briefing section, and calls out, "Master Black? Is everything alright?" He then begins to walk around the ship, getting weird looks from some of her party members. The cockpit would be last in his search.

*As Christopher searches the ship, HK-47, steps out around a corner with his heavy blaster leveled at Christopher's chest*
Rhetorical Query: Why would an organic meatbag, such as yourself, ignore common entry procedure in an attempt to locate my Master? Supposition: Perhaps it is an assassination attempt on my Master's life. Although your tactics in such an attempt are riddled with flaws. However that does not surprise me given that you are a meatbag and not an assassination droid of unrivaled sophistication, such as myself. Conclusion: I conclude that the best course of action would be to terminate the intruder so as to remove all possibilities of hostile intentions the meatbag may hold.
*In the cockpit, Kali hears Christopher's shouts. She throws the empty bottle aside and stands up....perhaps a little bit too quickly*
Oooh.... my head. Ugg, that's a bad one. Definitely need to cut back on the Ale.
*She stumbles down the corridor into the main hold of the Ebon Hawk*
Hello?
*She hears HK down the side corridor musing to himself*
Oh no... not again.
*She stumbles into the corridor where HK is holding Christopher at blaster-point, she leans up against the wall, trying not to let her hangover bug her too much*
HK. Seriously, you need to pick up some new hobbies. Let the kid go.
Disgruntled Submission: Very well master, I shall return to my post. Oh how I long for the days of wanton slaughter and unadulterated violence.
*HK lowers the blaster and returns to the main hold*
*Kali squints at Christopher*
Gotta watch out for that one. T3 isn't as bad. What can I do for you kiddo?

Christopher comes around a corner, and then finds that HK-47 has a blaster pointed at his chest. He listens, and says, "I'm not here to assassinate your Master." After a standstill between he and HK-47, Master Black comes over and calls HK-47 off.
Christopher replies to Master Black, "he seems like Mr. Sunshine." He chuckles. "I felt the arrival of a new Force user when I was in the Archives, though by the time I got down here, I think the Force user (Lee) had left the ship. I didn't see you leave yet, and so wanted to make sure that everything was alright, even though I'm not nearly as experienced as you, of course," said Christopher with a smile on his face.

Mission? What mission?
*T3 rolls into the corridor from the cockpit* Dweoop woo!
*looks over at T3* Oh! Manaan! Right. Umm, yeah, it went well. Showed up just in the knick of time, chased off the bad guys, saved the planet, yadda yadda yadda, same old stuff. Oh, and you can call me Kali, by the way. "Officially" I'm still not part of the Order...well... I guess it depends on who you ask, actually. Heh, if Atris heard you refer to me as "Master" I think she'd have both our heads. Either that or have a heart attack. Haha.

*A screen on the comm console lights up with the ID of a Republic shuttle belonging to Master Zhar's fleet. The message is sent as Classified and does not automatically play. Upon playing, the following message will be heard:*
::General Black, this is Master Zhar. I need some information regarding the Polar Academy on Telos IV. I've just come back from a meeting with Lt. Grenn and he tells me you've put codes on the Academy. I will need them quite urgently Kali.::

*Christopher doesn't say anything right away... Kali fears that she might have made him feel uncomfortable talking about one of his Masters in way that could possibly be viewed as disrespectful. She then hears a beeping from the main room, indicating a message*
Oop, gotta get that. Be right back.
*Kali walks down the hallway into the main room and presses a button on the circular main console, it plays Zhar's message*
*Kali frowns and opens up the channel again*
I'm sorry Master Zhar but what is all this about? I put those codes on that Academy for a very specific purpose; that place is not safe. And I'm not just talking about the dreadful lack of hand rails along those giant chasms, either. I lost three students to the Dark Side there, one of them a very close friend. Atris was holed up in there for a long time with all those Sith Holocrons, they've tainted the place. They even affected me at one point... ugg you should have seen me, I was all darksidey and blabbering on about death and destruction. That Academy is a very dangerous place.

*After a short transmission delay a full holo transmission appears in real-time.*
::I have heard of such things with regard to the Academy but we must. We cannot stay on Coruscant, the Sith are pressurising us in the Inner Rim and Coruscant couldn't be a worse place for us to train in safety. I realise that the public may think we are running away so I sent Master Shim to talk with the Chancellor about this.
*I pause for a moment.*
We don't know what it may be like, it may be better, it may be worse. That is why I'm on Telos now, to survey the Academy and check that we really can move there and if it really is safe for the students to go there. To do that I will need the codes Kali.::

*Kali sighs, thinks it over, and then finally responds*
I want you to know, Master Zhar that I oppose this with every fiber of my being. That place is wicked, I should have destroyed it when I left two years ago.
*she pauses*
The security code was put in randomly by my T3 unit. He has the codes stored safely in his memory core. I'll have to travel to Telos so he can open the doors himself manually. We'll pick you up before heading to the polar region. Black out.
*she ends the transmission, and T3 rolls into the main hold*
Bweoop boop beep.
*Kali sighs*
Yeah, I've got a very bad feeling about this too.
Dwooo....
*Kali leaves the main hold and walks back to Christopher*
You want to go for a ride? If so, make yourself comfortable, otherwise you better skedaddle before we lift off. Makes no difference to me.
(OOC: Christopher, feel free to post that you either stay or exit after my post, I'm gonna go ahead and keep the plotline going to save some time.)
*Kali walks to the cockpit with T3 rolling behind her and sits down, running through the pre-flight check*
Alright, let's get to Telos.
*The Ebon Hawk lifts off and heads out of the Jedi Temple's hangar, then head up into Coruscant's orbit. Once it gets there, T3 programs in the coordinates for a hyperspace jump, and the Ebon Hawk flashes into hyperspace a few seconds later bound for Telos*

*After an extended journey in Hyperspace the Ebon Hawk arrives in the Telos system*
We're coming out of hyperspace.
Bweoop?
*Kali turns to T3*
What do you mean who am I talking to? I'm talking to... oh... right, I guess you're the only one here.
Beep.
Nevermind then.
*The ship jumps out of hyperspace into Telos IV's orbit and is met by a large Republic Fleet who immediately jumps down the Hawk's throat*
=Republic Fleet= ::Unscheduled freighter, we have you on our screens. Please identify yourselves and report your cargo and destination.::
*Kali turns back around to T3*
Well, at least their efficient. I guess it takes an battle like Manaan to whip these guys into shape. T3, send these guys our clearance codes.
*T3 does so she returns the comm*
This is the Ebon Hawk, Jedi General Kali Black commanding. Requesting docking at Citadel Station. I'm here at the bequest of General Zhar Lestin. We're transmitting our codes now.
=Republic Fleet= ::We are receiving them. Stand by::
*Kali waits for several minutes, she looks at her chrono, then sits back in her chair*
Holy karking Force, what the hell is taking them so long.
=Republic Fleet= ::Ebon Hawk, your clearance codes check out. But just barely. I'd recommend updating them soon. You're cleared to dock.::
Understood. Ebon Hawk out.
*she looks over at T3*
The codes are almost expired? I thought you said you updated them?
Dwooo.... Beep boop boopboop bizzip.
Oh don't give me that. What could be so distracting that -
Boop! Beep bebeep!
Oh come on! I don't want to hear about that! Do what you want with that new T4 unit, just don't fill me in on the graphic details... holy Force..... Of all the droids in the galaxy I have to get stuck with the one with no concept of TMI.
*The Ebon Hawk flys down to Citadel Station, skimming along the hundreds of modules and eventually lands in one of the Docking Modules. It sets down on it's landing skids softly and the board ramp extends*
Okay, well let's go find Master Zhar and ferry him over to Atris' little hell hold.
Dwooo.... beoop dwoooo....
Yes, I know. You're not the only one that got blown into scrap the last time we were there.
Beep bo!
Okay, fine, you were the only one that that happened to. But I wasn't much better off. And neither was Mical, Garrett, Bao, or even Isaac. I lost a lot of friends there... I lost a part of myself. I'm no more eager then you to return. You still have the codes though, right?
Beep.
Good. We'll need them.
*stands up*
Okay, let's go get Master Zhar.
*Kali and T3 head out of the Ebon Hawk to find Zhar*

*When Kali returns, I nod and say:
I'll come too, if that's alright. Not sure how helpful I'll be.
*I then sit in one of the rooms, as Kali and T3 determine what needs to be done before launching.*

*Kali, T3, Master Zhar, and Christopher all board the Ebon Hawk from the Hangar in the Citadel Station's docking module. Kali and T3 head straight to the cockpit*
=HK-47= *HK's red photo receptors glow as the Twi'lek organic nods at him upon entering. He considers opening fire on the intruder, but decides not to after seeing he is accompanied by the Master. The shortest of the organics to enter the vessel then speaks to HK*
Incredulous Statement: The miniature meatbag has threatened me! Sarcastic Mockery: Oh dear, I do hope that this conflict between us does not escalate to violence of the most pleasurable kind. Threat: Watch your back meatbag, because I certainly will be through the scope of my blaster rifle.
*Kali and T3 reach the cockpit and she sits down in the pilots seat. She looks back at Zhar to answer his previous question about who flew the Orbital Shuttles during the 'bad experiences' as she does the pre-flight checks with T3*
Actually Atton was piloting both times. And both times we got shot down. Atton wasn't the worst pilot of course, he got us out of some tight spots several times - Including Peragus, which was a miracle if I ever saw one. I'd like to see someone else try to fly a ship through a field of exploding asteroids, turbolaser fire, Sith Interceptors, and avoid a massive planet-engulfing explosion that followed. Yeah.... That wasn't a good day.
*The engines whur to life*
Okay, well brace yourselves gents, let's see if we can make it there in one piece this time.
*The Ebon Hawk lifts off its landing skids and they retract as the Hawk spins around and exits the docking module. It flys gently over the many modules of Citadel Station and heads towards the polar region of the planet*
It's gonna get a little bumpy when we hit that atmosphere, and the wind in this area isn't all that fun either.
*The Ebon Hawk descends into the polar region area of the planet*
T3, you picking it up on sensors? The Hawk should still have the coordinates stored.
Beep booop? Dwoo?
Try the subfile directory then. It's been a couple years. And I don't think Astefan wiped the memory core when he was refitting the ol' girl.
Beep. Bizzip boop dweep beep.
Excellent. Taking us in. We'll have to land on the mesa being that the hangar is locked up along with the rest of it.
*The Ebon Hawk flys through the thick turbulence of the polar region atmosphere, hitting clouds and snow flurries. The ship rocks back and forth quite a bit, jostling everyone inside. Eventually it breaks through the clouds and a white mesa can be seen. The Hawk comes in close then circles back around as she fires the thrusters as the landing skids extend*
*The Ebon Hawk lands and the landing skids sink into the snow several feet*
*The board ramp outside lowers, but stops short being unable to dig itself further into the snow*
*Kali looks over to T3, making a reference to her recent visit to Ilum* Deja voo eh? I wonder if we'll pick up a long lost self-imposed exiled padawan this time too.
Dwooo....
Oh, I'm sure they don't all throw chairs at droids.

*Kali claps her hands and stands up, facing Zhar and Christopher* Well! Let's throw on some jackets boys and girls and get cracking. *She heads back towards the boarding ramp, stopping by HK's storage compartment on the way* 'Scuse me HK. *She reaches in and pulls out three winter jackets, and tosses one to Zhar and the other to Christopher. She slips the third one over her shoulders and pulls her arms through, causing her robes to bunch up* Ugg, I hate it when that happens. *She zips the coat up and pulls the hood up over her head the points to T3 who has just rolled into the main room* Hey, we're gonna need those codes. You'll have to come with us. Bweep!Oh shush, you made it just fine last time. Bweoop dwoop beep bizzip!I said I was sorry about that! How was I supposed to know you were rolling out of the shuttle at the same exact moment I covered the mesa with an electric static field!? Bweoop!Oh be quiet. *HK steps out of the compartment and glances at Christopher before speaking* Query: Will I be accompanying you, Master?*Kali turns around to face HK, and then to Christopher. She knows HK isn't fond of the Padawan* Errr.... Sorry, looks like all the party slots are filled up... plus one. Come on, let's go. *Kali leads Zhar, Christopher, and T3 down the boarding ramp and onto the Telos Polar Mesa*

*Kali, T3, and Christopher all board the Hawk again. Kali walks back to the storage compartment off of the main hold and strips off the cold-weather gear, putting it back in the compartment. She clips her lightaber hilt back to the belt of her robes and shakes her hair out, to get the snow off*
Oh, that's much better.
*T3 follows Kali's example and shakes his head off, sending snow flying all over a large chunk flying up and hitting HK in the face*
*Kali laughs and pats the small droid on the head then heads to the cockpit*
Observation: The master's sense of humor is most disturbing.
*T3 chirps something unhelpful, turns to Christopher and beeps happily, and then follows Kali to the cockpit*
