			            Kokushi rolled his eyes "Aria, the day I kill you is the day I turn to the darkside, you don't have to worry about it." he said, patting her on the shoulder "We're all companions here, we'll help you."

			            "You want to know the truth? Hm? Well here it is." forget it, death would be better than him throwing her into a lump with the others like they'd never- no. "You can't protect me, you can't help me! You, by rights, have to either turn me in or kill me because I killed three senators. There!" She jabbed his chest with her index finger. "Answer that cool and collected, Jedi Knight. How will you handle that? Have you come to a place of indifference enough to do what you have to? To do your duty?" She was weeping as she spoke, desperate, wanting him to be able to save her, but seeing that he probably wouldnt.

			            Kokushi stood there, and he chuckled, then started to laugh softly "Is that all?" he asked, calming down and rubbing his mouth "I'm sorry, but we jedi don't have a direct duty to the senators anymore, besides, it was most likely an accident, you couldn't harm a fly."

			            Kida gave Triskal a look of sympathy before turning back to Cole.  She spoke softly so only would hear.  "Um, let's... get out of here.  They're big kids, they can handle their own squalls.  Besides, I'm more interested in finding out what is happening to the people around here."

"I thought I was indifferent like you are but this is just too hard." She began to cry fully, keeping her hand over her eyes and backing away from him to lean against the ship.

			            Kokushi turned, his arms out a bit as he watched her cry "aw, come on, don't cry, we can't have that,there isn't anything to cry about.." he said, taking a few steps towards her "I'm here and I'm not going to kill you, what did Kida tell you when you told her this?"

Besides, I'm more interested in finding out what is happening to the people around here."Cole took a glance at Kokushi and Triskal before turning to Kida.  "I can't disagree." Cole whispered, nodding slightly.  Cole grabbed his holocom and activated it, then pointing to the same direction Dante had disappeared to.  "This way."

			            "Of course, Master Lookle."
 Bowing his head slightly out of respect, Kai stepped backwards along the tree branch then turned and made a short leap to the next and from there further on. He moved in a circular way instead of taking the direct route, sticking close to the leaves so that anyone who happened to be closeby would have a problem noticing the black-clad Jedi, but always approaching the target zone.
 
 Glad to be away from the arguing and the bickering, at a time when the Jedi can't afford to not unite we splinter...

			            Kida and Cole walked away from the clearing, letting Kokushi and Triskal know that they can be reached via comlink if needed before disappearing into the forest.  Cole walked slightly ahead of Kida, with a distance of a foot between them.  "This is my first time workling with Dante.  Has he always been this.... abrasive?"

The current argument between Triskal and Kokushi seemed a little off to her, but she could only guess it worked the same for them."Ah.  So I suppose he was easier to get along with before." Cole replied as he stepped over protruding tree trunks from the ground.  The crunch of dry leaves under their feet can be heard in the immediate distance, but Cole keeps his senses open for anything unusual.  Other than the occasional glance at the holocom, he keeps his focus forward even when he replies to Kida.  Among the three new council members, Kai was the only person he's had the opportunity to work with so everything that he knows about Kida and Dante were all heresay.  "So you used to be from this planet, I hear?" Cole said, noting his loquaciousness returning since the incident.

 "I don't get it.  People were disappearing here all the time and we haven't found a single thing yet.  Wouldn't you think we'd run into something by now?"

Cole said, noticing a few more clawmarks that are similar to the one they had found near the ship.  Cole stopped abruptly when he noticed a piece of cloth on the ground.  He rushed over to it and knelt down on one knee, picking up the cloth and holding it up for Kida to see.  "Yep... we're close." Cole said, looking around.

			            "Here." came dantes voice through the trees, calling out to Cole and Kida as they neared. he was standing infront of a ship... a huge ship... a huge ship that seemed to be cut in half and left open at the cargo hold. the ship, funnily enough, wasnt the scary thing, the scary thing was the pair of huge cages that had been forced open from the inside.

			            Cole followed Dante's voice, finding the crashed ship and witnessing what Dante's talking about.  "Well, this certainly makes things more interesting." Cole said, walking through the wreckage.
