Holt stared into the bubble for many long moments, partially to think of where they should go to, and partially because he couldn't very well understand the device. But it was simple enough. Blue was where they could go. the bright spot was the core, and coruscant and the rest of the Core worlds were near that.
[glow=teal,2,300]"The only terminals we'd be able to use would have to be in some kind of Imperial stronghold, or a command ship. Since we can;t get onto a command ship without downloading from the Archives, we'd have to find a terminal planet-side. Either way, we'd need a master Slicer to make the download. The only place we'd be able to find one is on a world outside the Empire. Hopefully one far from the Core worlds. I think we should keep out of the Network's space. Needless to say, we all have bounties on our heads..."[/glow]
Holt looked back to the star map, searching for a world outside of both hostile territories. He pointed to one, at the farthest edge of the blue sphere.
[glow=teal,2,300]"There. Where is there?"[/glow]

Arili squinted her eyes. And looked at the spot for a second before a name came to mind.
Thats Rhen Var. I think. No, wait, I'm sure, its Rhen Var.
She said. It had been awhile since she had done any real difficult stellar navigation , but she was starting to remember things again. The system was just inside the ships range, Arili wasn't comfortable with ending up out of fuel upon arrival, but that planet fit the bill, so she could deal with it.
I can set the navi-computer from here, is that where you think we should go?
She asked.

Holt looked from the sphere to the group gathered around it.
[glow=teal,2,300]"Yes. That is where we must go. I... feel it."[/glow]
Holt said, a bit perplexed at this new feeling. He had never actually been led by what he assumed was the Force before. It felt..curious.

Daeron's ship glided up beside them, the red and gold markings on the black paint showing that he came from the Southern Temple...the temple of fire. After a moment, he sent a communication to Arili's ship.
[glow=blue,2,300]This is Daeron Firians....I'm here for the journey, but I'm only going if I know just what planet to set course for...care to give a hint?[/glow]

Arili looked up from the holographic display as the comms beeped. She pressed a few buttons and the navi computer started calculating the jump.
I hope your right, Holt. There isn't much there other than ice...and rocks...and you know me and the cold.
She looked back at the cockpit, then out the window, and saw what looked to be a Rillian ship. She shook her head. Having a purpose built stealth ship was one thing, but that Rilian ship was going to leave a hyperspace signature that would stand out like a sore thumb. She headed up to the cockpit and put the headset on, then clicked the comm system on.
We're going to Rhen Var. Your going to need to find a way to mask your hyperdrive signature, or make it look like something else. Cause I can guarantee you that anyone who is looking for a bounty is going to pick up on that very unique sig your ship will have.
Arili explained.

Dak once again caught in the middle due to his lack of training. Caught between wanting help and not wanting help. Still having trouble trusting the force completely he couldn't help but feel as if they were going into a trap. This feeling didn't come from his senses, but rather his thoughts muddled with emotion. Doubt mixed with fear created the strange feeling Dak was having.
Dak had only been in space a couple times, but now Rhen Var would be the third planet he's ever been on, if you count the couple hours he spent on Rilia.
In truth as Dak sat in the chair he was getting a little frustrated. He was by far the most inexperienced of the group no doubt because his complete lack of training. If Jedi could cancel or cut their ability to be sought out through the force for periods of time...why was Dak there? If Jedi had those weapons of light...why was Dak there? If Jedi were supposed to be wielders of the force...why was Dak there? All of his experience with the force had been blundering around looking for people and observing small details.
The young boy just realized what a detriment he was to the mission. Everyone else could hide themselves at least temporarily from their pursuers, "The Executioners" as Dak had heard it, but the young boy himself could only feel people through the force. Cutting himself from it, shielding his presence from other's eyes...it wasn't something the young boy knew how to do.
It didn't take long, but Dak began to shudder slightly at the thought of his being on the mission dooming it to utter failure. He should have stayed with the Feanturi and learned the ways of the force regardless of their logic and methods. Dak wiped his forehead as he realized that anyone good or bad, light or dark, could simply pluck his identity out of the force with percision and instantly know the location of the remainder of Jedi. The sheer thought made Dak wince in pain. Not knowing a better action though the young boy kept silent and looked on twitching and shuddering ever so slightly.

Holt looked up. Ice and rocks? Reminded him of home.
[glow=teal,2,300]"Yes. Let's go."[/glow]
He said, noting the Rilan fighter near them. He sighed. The Force knew he appreciated the help, but it would have been nicer had the Jedi just agreed in the first place, instead of agreeing so long afterwards that they'd send a risky second ship.

Daeron chuckled slightly and flipped a switch, his thrusters engaging for a moment before a different set of engines...the more obvious, and bulky of the two sets, he thought.
[glow=blue,2,300]Better Hiril Arili?[/glow]
He retorted, feeling slightly annoyed, yet ammused that she would think him so foolish.
[glow=blue,2,300]I happen to know better...this is my personal ship and she's built to go scouting away from rilia without being detected.[/glow]

Arili watched the sensors as the ship went from an unknown contact to a CEC YT series vessel. with that sig he'd have to work to get noticed.
Much better, Daeron. Just making sure, never can be to careful these days.
She said, as the navi computers console lit up , telling her that it was done calculating.
I'm sending you the calculations for the jump set. We can get going whenever your ready.
She said, sending the Jump Coordinates.

*Quenladose looked around at the map as Holt and Arili talked and plotted the course. The little fey fit the mouth piece over her face and played with the clasps of the sheath at her side*
What's on Rhen Var master Holt?
*the fey looked confused for a moment having never really traveled*

He chuckled slightly, and programmed the coordinates into his console easily. Rhen Var? An odd place to start, but they surely had to have their reasons....at least he hoped they did....he tried to avvoid the cold when he could. Daawn sat moodily beside him, stewing on the argument with her mother, but said nothing.
[glow=blue,2,300]I am always ready Hiril....and my sister is as ready as she can be for being such a stubborn kurth![/glow]
He added, reffering to the cow-like beasts of rilia that were used to bear heavy items it normal transport wouldn't carry it.

Holt turned and sat back as Arili prepared them for the hyperspace Jump. He always found the jumps rather... unsettling.
In response to Quen, Holt's answer was simple. He told he he didn't know.
The Knight turned and faced Dak. He noticed the boy's reactions, sensing his discomfort. It must be difficult for him, thrust into this confusing world. Holt smirked at the boy, remembering his own beginnings with the Jedi. The two of them were rather similar at that point. Perhaps this was why he felt so connected to the youngling. He had, in their travels, sensed the boy's connection to The Force. The boy didn't seem to see things the way the other Jedi could. Neither did Holt. This difference connected the two. Which was why Holt felt he could help Dak more than he could any of the other younglings accompanying them.
[glow=teal,2,300]"You alright... padawan?[/glow]

Wiped the small beads of sweat that slowly appeared as he looked into the eyes of the familiar face. The young boy was comforted to an extent by the familiar face, but the thought of causing his downfall remained etched in his psychological mainframe.
I feel...like I've been selfish.
Dak shook his head, the words didn't come out right. It was funny really, when Dak thought about it. The way he rushed out of the meeting room to the hangar. Even before that when he rushed himself off of his home world. He knew he wanted to do right, but when logic hit him he came to reality and he looked around slowly.
Do you think I should have stayed on Rilia, perhaps for some basic force training?
He had to urge himself to speak further, but to no avail. His mouth was a tad dry, which was rather unusual for him, but Dak did what any person would do. He moistened his mouth and got ready to continue.
I can't help, but feel my inexperience is leading you all into danger. I mean...
He had to stop and reload his mouth as if it were a gun. Now re-moistened the young boy was ready for round two.
I mean you and Ms. Annunaki found be because you felt my presence when... Well if the people you are talking about, The Executioners, can feel things through the force aren't we in danger?
Dak had to shake his head, his feeling of fear had already taken a firm grip on him rather than before when it was a mild thought. Dak shook the fear from his body, but it simply reattached itself to him like a strange creature.
I mean before when I tried to find you as you were leaving Rilia I tried to feel out you and Ms. Annunaki through the force. I wasn't able to find you, but I could find Ms. Annunaki, while that in itself probably isn't a great feat for you...
He exhaled and reloaded once more. It was actually a lot more difficult to get all this off of his chest. It wasn't helping any more that he was around his friends because he slowly was getting the feeling that they were about as safe as he was.
I don't mean to sound arrogant when I say this, but to have Raw, untampered source of Force walking around with you. I mean everyone on this ship at least has the basics of control over themselves, but me? I mean I don't really know what a Jedi is.
The boy just divulged his inner worries to Holt and anyone who could hear. It wasn't meant to be kept secret, but he didn't want to cause a panic. Although it was too late for that as he continued to look into the eyes of Holt.
What should I do?
(didn't think it was this long...but no point in shortening it)

*Quenladose looked at Dak and seemed to smile under the mouth cover as she spoke pulling a sleeve back and letting tiny trails of frost form and melt along the length of her forearm*
Don't talk like that Dak, you have as much a gift as me; and i doubt masters Holt and Annunaki have let us come along if anything really was that wrong.
*the fey looked at him and began to sound like a mother soothing a child who's afraid of the dark more then what her physical body showed. Then a glow struck her eyes like a crack of lightning during a storm*
Plus if any of those executioners come along I'll give them a one-two-three

((It’s not much but I’m feeling pretty uninspired at the moment.))
Verena sat quietly; feeling both nervous and excited. On the one hand she was leaving the place she had called home for years and on the other she was getting the chance to test out her abilities. She was finally going to see if all her training had not been for naught. Best yet, Daeron was coming so she may even be able to continue her training, although she had a little doubt whether he’d pick her up after going against his mother like that.
She wanted to talk to him about it but unfortunately they were separated for the moment. So she resigned herself to waiting until they landed. Otherwise, to pass the time she started to try imagining what may happen during the course of their adventures, of course, considering she wasn’t asked to guard the ship for most of the time since she was still pretty young and inexperienced.

Arili smirked as Daeron spoke. Apparently his sister was coming along also.
Alright, I'll see you on the other side then.
She said, hitting the "engage" button.
*MOVE TO RHEN VAR, FOR GREAT JUSTICE! *
((OOC: If you all wanna continue your convo's then feel free to do so here, I'm just going to go create the thread on Rhen Var so we can get moving. ))
