U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"

"I must say, you definitely have a rapport with these aliens, Master Sar."

Aeryn stepped off of the slanted interrogation slab and extended her feelings outward to her surroundings, finally able to feel the Force again. Unfortunately, she was revolted by what she felt. Many people had died in this chamber, and she was glad not to become the latest addition to that list.

The young Jedi walked over to a storage compartment on the far wall, and pulled the small, locked door off of it's hinge with a light Force pull. Inside were two long, cylindrical objects, the lightsabers taken from Covell and herself.

She retrieved her own, and tossed Odona's to him. Aeryn took a moment to ignite the lightsaber, inspecting the brilliant green blade, before returning it to her belt.

"I am ready to proceed, Master."

Aeryn bolted out of the cockpit, through the bent walkway into the main chamber, and jumped onto the gunnery ladder. She clambered up the ladder and flew into the seat, throwing a few switches to arm the quads.

Aeryn had only manned Corellian-style turbolaser batteries once before, so it took her a moment to re-acclimate to the idea of a flight yoke that controlled the attitude of the guns. After a moment to hone in on one of the Heraani fighters that were threatening the Starfleet shuttlecraft, she let fly a barrage of tibanna-fueled hell that stripped the shields from the fighter almost instantly.

The smell of sweat and blood was unmistakeable in the cramped chamber in which Aeryn awoke. The alien guard on the far end of the room had not yet noticed her awakening, and she was not about to provoke him. She tried to move, but found that her arms and legs were bound to the interrogation slab. Instinctually, she tried to reach out with the Force and remove her bindings, but she could not.

For that matter, Aeryn realized, she could not feel the Force at all. It was there, but it was as if it were behind a large door, just out of reach. The cumbersome collar attached to her neck, she assumed, was the cause of this, as it emitted a faint blue glow, denoting that it was a device of some sort.

Across the room, on an identical slab, lay the young Padawan, Odona Covell. He appeared to still be unconscious, and wore the same Force-dampening collar that Aeryn did.

Knowing that there was nothing, for the time being, that she could do, Aeryn decided to survey her surroundings while she had the chance.

Aeryn gasped as she felt the message from Master Sar. She longed so much to respond, but despite her effort, she could not force her thoughts to leave the confines of her own skull, and was certain Master Sar would not be able to hear her.

The alien guard heard her gasp, and made his way over to her. "Quiet!" it shouted into her mind, and hit her with a plasma baton, causing Aeryn to scream in pain. She could tell that this species was telepathic, due to their lack of a oral cavity and their obvious ability to put thought right into one's mind. It seemed that they were unable to actually enter one's mind, however, as their telepathic speech seemed to affect anyone in range as opposed to being simply two-way, as evidenced by the fact that Aeryn had picked up on several telepathic conversations between guards.

She surmised that they simply broadcast their speech outward, unable to control who received it. Aeryn had, however, also heard them mention some of their superiors, and by the sounds of it, they were quite a bit more powerful than these guards. In any case, she hoped very much that none of those superiors came down here.

Aeryn stepped into the cockpit behind Chaya. "Master Sar, we're not going to just sit here, are we? Shepherd crew away while their ship is destroyed and the slow ones get picked off? These people have helped us so much, and it feels like we're doing nothing."

Aeryn walked down the ramp of the Harvest and gazed at the majesty of the main hangar. It wasn't the size of the fighter bay on the Imperator-class Star Destroyers, but it was definitely grand. Not to mention, the vessels stored within were absolutely beautiful, a stark contrast to the rough-and-tumble designs coming from the Incom Corporation recently, like the T-65 X-Wing and the Z-95 Headhunter.

Aeryn was always a pilot herself, and was only on the Blue Harvest because her own ship was under repair after a skirmish with several Imperial Tau-class gunboats. So to see these amazing vessels, these works of art, was breathtaking. And to add to that, she was fairly sure that these people took such ships for granted.

The confused young Jedi walked over to the only one of these people she knew, this T'lana, and sheepishly acquired her attention. "Excuse me, ma'am," she said, "but as you can imagine, I feel a little out of place here. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do."

There was a loud commotion that seemed to come from outside... wherever they were. Several of the guards ran out of the detention chambers, brandishing their weapons and projecting loudly about some attack.

"Covell," she called, unafraid now that the guards were gone or not paying attention. "There's a racket going on outside, these aliens must be under attack. Do you think Master Sar could pull off something like this?"

Aeryn struggled to decipher what Master Sar had said to her through the Force, but it was so faint and almost completely unintelligible, thanks to the Force-restricting collar.

Aeryn found her way through the sterile corridors to what seemed to be a lift. "Um... computer?" she asked.

The LCARS vocal interface chimed in response. Confident it was listening, Aeryn continued. "Where is the commander of this vessel?"

"Captain Taurik is on the main bridge," it replied.

"Take me there." With that, the lift began to move. Aeryn noticed another interesting amenity, in that the lift was obviously moving but provided no inertial feeling. This ship was one of the most luxurious she had ever seen, and the most fascinating part was that it was as if it was on accident. All of the luxury ships she had seen before were intentionally spacious and luxurious. But the Rivendell had a clean, scientific feel to it, while providing comfort at the same time.

The doors slid open and revealed a circular, white bridge, bathed in red bars of light from above. It appeared the ship was on high alert. Being careful not to interfere, she moved as close to the forward viewport as she could without stepping into the view of the captain in the central seat.

She found it odd that, while in her galaxy, starship commanders stood at an observation window issuing commands to their officers behind them, the commanders in this galaxy, or at least this particular group, sat in the center of their bridges, with their subordinates controlling panels along the walls.

Not an important observation, she realized, but vastly different all the same. It appeared to Aeryn that she really had some learning to do about these people. Despite the fact that she had certainly missed the conference on Naboo, she was hopeful that the Jedi Council would be equally pleased to hear of these new people.

(OFF: Aeryn doesn't yet know that return to her galaxy is all but impossible.)

Aeryn was surprised to hear Odona's voice in her mind, and as if on cue, the alien guard came and adjusted a setting on Odona's collar, and the blue glow from the Force-dampener increased.

"Do not provoke him," she whispered. "These aliens are quite brutal, and I do not doubt their willingness to kill unruly prisoners. I would not wish to inform your master of your death by their hand."
