Jami opened one eye when he sensed Alyssa moving. He watched her looking over her datapad and remained silent for a few moments. He then spoke to her in a soft voice that was barely above a whisper. "Is something wrong?"

"Hmm...I think wrong might be a bit of an understatement, Jami... Either someone has a sick sense of humor, or my brother is missing," she responded softly to Jami, then began to mull things over in her head. If this man or his lackeys had been following me since Tattooine, they've been in my ship, probably searched my room, somehow compromised the Temple's security...this is bad...it's not just my problem anymore... Alyssa slipped the datapad back into her robes as her head started pounding from stress.

Guilyn Ya, he's somewhere around here. He's still recovering from our little trip to Korriban. I'll help you find him in a moment, just let me take a look at how the ship is coming along. With that kari turned to Isis in her driod body.So Isis, hows the ship coming along? I know I had just started putting on a hyperdrive when you started working on it. If you don't mind me asking? the droid let out what could be a hiss, though it might have just heen the workings of it's body as it turned back to Kari. "Oh, the subroutine I placed within this droid finished the work about 5 hours before we got back from korriban, though I personally took over and put the finishing touches on it. You'll find it's systems are similar to the ones in the jedi fighter aboard the Raptor. Though the i couldn't quite find the caliber of armorments Glacian has collected for his, nor was I able to totally duplicate the cheameleon armor system it has, Glacian's father made that before he made me and I only really understand it enough to repair it and make splinter versions of it. It should clock you from most radar and screw with visiuals." Then the droid turned back to Zeth and said, "And I'm not a droid genius, don't insult my intelligence again or you might find your engine has a few less parts next time you fire up your ship." With that the droid swiveled it's upper body around and walked away. Jessica looked at Zeth and Kari for a minute before saying, "akward.." and then turned and walked away as well, in the direction of the Raptor, probably to retrieve her equipment."

"Well, If you'll follow me, I can talk about some things on the way to the training area," Glacian said as he waved in the direction he began floating.
Once in transit, he said, "Firstly, I want to teach you two something very important to keep in mind from now on when you use the force. My father told me this and It's helped me a great deal thinking of it this way. When you use the force to do something, be it lift and object, push, pull grab, crush, throw something, jump higher, slow your decent, the list goes on an on. But a key to opening your mind to the vast possiblty of what is possible is to realize that it is not your power doing this things. It is the force, even though you are the one commanding it, the one moving the object through your will, it is not through your will alone, like with some of the telekenitics in this verse. It is the force acting on your behave, because as you listen to the force, it also listens to you, the more you listen and become more intune, the more it will heed you. Where as your own body and mind will always have a limit to how much it can take, the force does not, the force is everywhere, if you can get it to, you could eventually move a starship in orbit, but only because you can summon that much of the force to doo your will, you must learn to expand your will over more and more of the force around you, the more you can effectively use, the more you can do, and the more you can sense."
"But you must still strengthen your mind and body, for if your mind is weak, the force will not listen to you, you must be able to control the force or it will stay in it's natural dormant state, and your body wust be able to keep pace with the stress of useing the force on yourself and other things."
Once they reached a large open area, Glacian stopped and asked, "So, does that make sense at all?"

She quickly realized she had forgotten the title. "Uh, Master." she added. "I got that you cant move the things, or to help yourself do things, its the force, not you." She thought for a moment. "But, why would it listen to you, Master? And how do we gain its respect? I heard you say that if we gain more strength mentally, and physically, that it will obey us more. Do we just get more strength for it to listen to us?" She questioned, waiting patiently for a reply.

Kari walked around her ship a few times. A small part of her felt bad that it was finished, and they she had not been the one to do it. So much of her time had gone into its repair and construction, most so before she came to the temple. Kari saw R3 in the corner, shut off. Kari guessed he was low of power sence he had the power cord hooked to his body. Kari was amazed at how well put together it was, Isis had done far better then she had thought would be done. After another moment or two of admiring the ship she turned to Zeth.
Ok, Lets go find Glacian.

"But if its your body that is weak, is there a chance the force will not listen to you? I also understood it. I've read many things from the archives. It really does help when you are a padawan.," he said.

Zeth had been meditating even while Isis had barked at him with the threat of disfuntioning his ship, but he Could trust R4 to keep the ship from getting any bugs in the Furyan. After a few minutes, he heard Kari give the okay to find Glacian. He smiled, then opened his silver lined eyes.
"I have an idea where he is...."
Zeth walked with Kari to where he could sense Glacian. Even though He was a ways away, Zeth could still feel the light burning in Glacian's heart, as the kind of bond friends have with eachother. He occasionally looked to Kari and smiled, remembering back when he was barely an initiate student of the Force and he and Kari were looking for A master, how they met Master Manic, the troubled crisis on another planet, Glacian's abduction, he rememberd it all like it was yesterday.
"Ah...there he is"
Zeth stood yards away from Glacian and his new students with his hands to his hips with a smile on his face
"Always doing more then you're capable of.....eh, Glace?"

"Calm down, Alyssa. Even I can feel the tension eminating from you." Gently, very gently, as if unsure of his ability, Jami let a tendril of the Force flow through her mind, attempting to alleviate some of the pain as he had done to himself when travelling with Leena. "Though I'm not a mind-reader, I can sense there is something that is troubling you deeply. What is it?"

"But if its your body that is weak, is there a chance the force will not listen to you? I also understood it. I've read many things from the archives. It really does help when you are a padawan.," he said. "Well, like I said, the force will always listen, you just have to be able to talk to it, just as the force always talks to everything, you just have to be able to hear it. But their is a large difference between communing with the force and using it. It's not really about respect, at least not from my personal experience, nor from what I was taught. The force does not need to respect you, nor trust you, it is in you as well as around you, you only need to connect what is inside you to what is outside you." "It's really just you exerting your will power over the individual quanities force. Your mind must be strong to be able to stretch your willpower amoungst a larger part of the force and your physical strength is to allow you to do so for longer, because using so much of the force can truely being exhuasting, if your body is not strong, it will wear out. And it wears you out more if you are using your mental will to it's limit. Where as if you only use your a portion of your full power with the force it will not wear your physical body out as much. Most councilers(sp?) focus on expanding their will power and mental strength far more than physical, on the idea that even though they are not a physically powerful as a jedi more focused on combat, that if their capacity for control of the force is so deep and large that they rarely use their full power, and do not tire their physical body as much. Where as those battle oriented jedi must often tap into their vast physical energy to supplment their, in comparison, limited mental power." Glacian smirked at Zeth's comment and said, "Well, if one never pushes oneself, then one never gets better do they?" Glacian turned back to his students and said, "On that note I would like to quote an old Jedi, though the name escapes me at the moment. She said, 'Limits are ment to be overcome, what is beyond them, we call mastery.' Always keep that in mind, no matter how many barriers, no matter how many limits you find yourself facing, you can overcome them, and find a new level you only dreamt of before. Now if you'll work on manipulating these objects," Glacian waved his hand and a group of metal objects from a store room flew out and piled up next to the padawans. "Keep in mind what I told you ok?" Glacian said with a smile, "I have to go talk with a friend." Glacian floated over to Zeth and said, "You have something on your mind?"

Kari who had her hands behind her back made sure she was the first to speak.
How are you feeling? You sure your ready to be taking on more padawans already? Kari said laughing, and leaning a little to one side to look at the new hopefulls

"You know I always do, my friend"
Zeth flung his hair back and smiled at Glacian
"With what has been happening, we need to preserve the force in a way that only the three of us can. Neither of us will fall to the dark side, I know that for A fact. However, you know my beliefs can not be switched back to the light, Glace. I am an Unbound Force user, but I have chosen my role in the Galaxy now.
I will travel the universe, searching for force sensitives that will become Wanderers or Jedi, whatever they choose. I will train them under Master Shan's vision of A unified galaxy that is neither Imperial or Republic."
Zeth then looked back to Kari and then back to Glacian, smiling serenely
"I'm counting on you two to improve your skills so I know the Republic is strong and true with the Jedi behind them. But I want the three of us to promise something to one another"
Zeth put his hand out in the middle of the three, keeping his truthful smile on his face, looking at both Kari and Glacian
"No matter what, I promise never to cross blades with either of you for reasons of greed or hate. Promise that if I were to do an unspeakable act that has any of your disapproval, I want you two to stop me at all costs, even kill me if neccesary. I will not allow myself to die by anyone else, I will only die by your hands......promise me, Glace.....Kari"

A strange feeling of peace began to spread within Alyssa's body. The stress aches dissipated, her grip on her robes lessened, and her mind was once again able to focus.
"Even if they don't have my brother, Jami, this means they've been watching me since I left Tattooine...they might even be in the Temple..." Alyssa pulled out the datapad and showed the schedule part to Jami. "These people know exactly where I was every minute of every day I've been in this Temple. It's almost too scary to comprehend..."

Jami nodded slowly, his solemn brown eyes showing no real emotion.
"This is a problem. However, have you tried feeling them out with the Force? Or asked one of the Masters to do so?"

Glacian awnsered Kari's question before Zeth spoke, saying, "I am recovering Kari. I'm sleeping in a bacta tank as of now, and meditating in my spare time. I'm using the force to heal my body on the inside while the bacta heals the rest of me."
After Zeth's speech, Glacian smiled back and said, "I think we can do that for you Zeth, I just hope you can keep up eh? And if I have to, I will do as you wish, stop you from becoming something vile. As for neutrality, I think you are not the only one who has begun to tred that line. I myself from the begining believe what my father and mother did, that for all the light's good, there is more than just the light, and to full appreciate it, you must realize that the force is not good or evil, just those who use it. I still believe that their is a light and dark side within the whole of the force, just as any entity has within it the capablity for anything, the force in it's whole, still has parts that make that whole, you just have to not give an outlet for the less noble paths it can give to you."
Glacian then reached into robes, pulling out a thin cylinder with a puzzle like end to it. "I want you to have one of these Zeth. I designed this back in my days of running from home to home. It's a universal key, give it a moment and it can find the combination to any lock, electronic, key card, combination, anything. You just put it where a droid would access a port and it will do the rest. I hope it will help you on your journies as it has helped me. Don't worry, i can make another, but this was my first, one of the my first inventions ever actually. It means something to me, and I hope it will to you as well."
