Neb was reflecting as the small ship drifted through space. The events of the last 24 hours flashed by his eyes as he meditated, or tried to, in the compact ship.
He had left the small restaurant and had headed to the Jedi Council Headquarters. Though he destested his job of playing "bodyguard" to senators, he would find a new regret. Instead of the semi-indulging lifestyle, he would be transferred to research and excavation work on the one planet that was only famous for spawning Luke Skywalker: Tatooine.
"UI-930! You still there?" The com radio blared, as Neb was jolted. He responded, as the little fighter flew onto the frigate for the next jump. This was the last jump that he would have to make.
The bay opened, as he watched teh stars wizz by through hyperspace. He would arrive about the time the Senator's inauguration began.
"You sure these are the coordinates? I mean that is right next to..."
"Yes, Neb. They are correct. Sit back and relax. Now..."

Senator Phoenix Feron of New Alderaan examined the spelnderous Grand Hall of the New Republic capitol building. It seemed as though the entire population of a planet was in the room, the people ranging from Rebellion Heroes Leia Organa Solo and her Husband Han, as well as their three children, Jaina Jacen and Anakin, to General Crix madine and Admiral Ackbar, to Chief of State Mon Mothma. The room was various shades of white, and the black carpet on the ground was ankle deep. He walked over to the Marble Podium where he would be innaugurated, and spotted Angel in the back, as well as Luke Skywalker and other Various Jedi.

Vin watched the cerimony from the holospace reciever on his ship.
He twitched as soon as he saw the senator who was to be inaugrated. He looked so familiar. But why?
It was then he remembered the events of the past few months or so. When he had come back to Corescant from a mission.
"Oh no." said Vin.
How could he have gotten into a position of such power? And why does nobody else recognize him?
For the first time in Vin's life he had no idea what he should do.

Angel found herself watching the Dark Lord being inaugurated as she finds herself surrounded by various people, some possibly Jedi. Feeling uncomfortable being so close to a number of Jedi, Angel tries to ease her mind by getting lost in thought of other things. Though she tried to get her mind off it for the time being, she couldn't help but wonder why the Dark Lord named her " Darth Terra ". The title was no mystery to her, but the name was odd. Did it mean something? Or was it just to hide her real identity? Then she began to wonder what the Dark Lord had in store for her. Would he train her in the Force? Would he make her the 2nd-in-command of his forces? Perhaps she would be his personal bodyguard. Or perhaps, a mix of any or all 3. She had no clue as to predicting what the Dark Lord would want with his new apprentice. She waited there, until the Dark Lord was finished with any speeches and such, to accompany him once again.

A few hours later, Ryunosuke stepped into a large, white hall for the inauguration of the new senator of New Alderaan. As he surveyed the crowd, he spotted many officials, including Leia Organa Solo and her husband Han Solo; their children, Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo; Admiral Ackbar; and Mon Mothma.
Ryo walked further into the room, and decided to take the vacant spot next to Luke Skywalker. As he sat down, their eyes met and Luke nodded a greeting.
"Good evening, Master Skywalker," Ryo said.
"Same to you, Ryunosuke," Luke replied.
He and Luke turned forward and began to watch the ceremony.

Tssirk stared blankly at the dimly lit console before him. The small ship ran quiet, barely the faintest humming of the engines sounding through the dull steely corridors. Usually, this silence was regularly interrupted by random inquiries from Zorro, but for now the droid was in standby mode, running inner diagnostics on his new parts.
At least they had a destination again. While the Dosh had been onboard their tiny transport repairing the droid, a transmission had come in, offering a very hefty sum on a seemingly shady deal. The employer was annonymous, voice artificially altered and the transmission heavily encrypted. Normally, Zorro may have been able to trace it, but he was not in the shape for it, and with a bounty this big, it probably wasn't wise to poke around too much anyway.
So now they were outbound from Coruscant, which did not disappoint Tssirk one iota. It was a nasty planet; busy and full of self-absorbed senators and impovershed galaxy scum. At least their destination was only full of the latter...

"Damn, I thought we'd never be out of there," Phoenix said, glancing over to Angel.
After a long, legnthy (and rather boring) ceremony, he had finally gotten out of the innaurguration.
"Well, the Chief of State Mon Mothma is sending me to the Outer Rim, to the Tattoo system. Seems, I have to close a fund transfer after Governor Noradla and his wife, Edaj were injured by the Tusken Raiders when the binary suns eclipsed, and the Raiders sacked and looted Mos Espa...so, we will take that time to teach you basic exercises and for you to build your lightsaber."
"Which reminds me," he added, "you will not be needing the one you carry now. Please hand it to me"

After the the long ceremony, everyone began to get up. Luke Skywalker stood and stretched his legs for a second and then strode over to Leia Organa Solo and Han Solo to say hello and to see how things were going. Ryunosuke thought it polite to step back out of hearing range, so he decided to step over to the main entrance/exit. When they were done, Luke walked toward Ryo. Ryo turned to walk next to Luke.
"Master Skywalker, I have been meaning to speak with you," said Ryo.
"Yes?" Luke asked.
"Well, I've found some important Old Republic documents I think you should take a look at."
"Sounds interesting. In fact, you can show me them right now."
Ryo and Luke continued down the large hallway.

Angel felt a faint darkness inside her for a brief moment after hearing the Dark Lord's words. Perhaps his naming her his apprentice made her feel... closer... to him. After he asked for her lightsaber, she pulled it out and handed it to him. " I would glady accept whatever training you will offer, Lord Imperius. " she said, with a certain eagerness.

The desert air stung Neb's face as he stepped off the shuttle into Mos Eisley Spaceport. As usual, it bustled with activity, people cussing, fighting, and rather beating the crap out of one another.
"I don't know why I'm stuck doing this.... What could possibly be found all the way out there?" Neb asked himself.
He walked onto a used speeder lot, as a little blue Toydarian flew out.
"You want to buy a speeder, no?"
"Actually, I only wished to rent one."
"No renting allowed. Only buying."
"How much would it cost to rent it?"
"Listen, Jedi. Mind tricks don't work on me, and neither do imperial credits. You better have something worth while to trade, or some dough before I be letting you drive out of here."
5 minutes later, and 17 dice rolls, Neb was headed out to the Dune Sea, in a fairly new speeder.

Vin sat in his ship thinking about what he should do. Things suddenly got a lot more clear. He suddenly and inexplicitly through his shields on to full. A laser blast hit the newly raised shields less than a second later.
"Sithspit!!! I don't think the Jedi of the Old Republic had to deal with crap like this."
Vin quickly through his ship through a series of evasive manuvers that were completely unpredictable.
Vin's piloting skill was great to begin with but with the force his ability was augmented to a rediculous level.
He managed to destroy his attacker quickly, in about 5 seconds to be exact. He also managed to destroy his attackers 3 friends with 1 torpedo. It was then that Vin knew it was time to leave. No sooner did he tell his astromech to prepare to jump to lightspeed then a Imperial Star Destroyer Mark II popped out of hyperspace directly on his six.
His astromech, Z-9 or Zyp for short, had the course laid out in about 5 seconds more.
Just in time too. Vin through the switch for hyperspeed. A fraction of a second later turbolasers lit up where his ship used to be.
Vin only hoped his droid had the time to plot the way to a friendly area of the galaxy...

"Unless it is a matter of the Sith, please, call me Phoenix."
Angel's lightsaber in hand, Phoenix entered the turbolift, and punched in the access code for Level 526, one of the tallest terraces in Coruscant. With little effort, he stretched his arm out, and threw the lightsaber down the terrace.
"now to test, your skill in the Force, Angel, I propose a race, to Docking Bay 1220, where my ship is docked. You will recognize it as a jet black H-type Nubian Space Yacht. We will use it to make a jump to Fondor, where my main ship is in dry-dock. We will then proceed to Tattooine. Until then, I will meet you at Docking Bay 1220."
With that, Imperius, DLOTS, jumped off the terrace.

" Alright then... Phoenix. It's just a habit from the academy to address one's superior formally. " Angel said. After the Dark Lord proposed a race to the docking bay, Angel watched as he jumped off the terrace. She quickly set her focus to getting to her destination and began to make haste toward the docking bay.

After showing Luke Skywalker the documents, Ryunosuke picked up R7-F3 from Droid Maintenance and the both of them traveled back to the hangar to do a diagnostics check on his X-Wing.
As his eyes darted around the results, he noticed something. Someone had placed a homing beacon on his ship. He quickly removed it, and ran a more theral check than the last. He found another, more hidden one.
"Hm, I wonder whose handywork this was."

About an hour later, Neb stopped at a small dome that had once been home to a hermit. The council had decided that a Jedi of his caliber was so important as to send him out into the middle of the desert to some old fart's home to look for anything that may have been left behind before his death.
Okay, so Ben wasn't a bad old fart, but jeez, a Jedi? What did they expect him to find? A holocron?
Neb had been in and out in 5 minutes, with just the result he expected: nothing. Nothing at all. In fact, nothing really remained, since jawas and tuskin raiders had pillaged the hut, taking anything of "value".
"Yet another 3 days i will waste, and about 60 thousand credits wasted on getting me here for a nice vacation. Why me?"
