Mako drew her lips back into a snarl.
"I ain't going back there until I find out how I got out here in the first place!" She lifted her foot to pace but thought better of it and put it back down, the systematic boots making a slight crunching sound as they readjusted the pressure around the foot inside. "First I was in there, then I wake up here! I ain't used to this telllllie stuff you know!"

Rieg jumped slightly when he heard his com ring and buzz slightly beneath his robe. Straightening up, he looked to Alexa. "Ambassador, if you'll excuse me, I believe things are under control at the moment. I have a message I must recieve. I will return shortly." He bowed to Alexa and found his way out of the room and headed towards the hangar where his star fighter awaited him.
((I have posted a farewell message in the OOC forum, to clear up any confusion.))

Jaden had finished reading about Rieg, feeling like she had betrayed alittle of his trust in a way. Though now she knew positively she could trust him

Reaching his small aircraft, Rieg once again asked his R-2 unit to transmit the message. "Master Rieg," came the voice before the hologram of the leader of the Jedi Council appeared. "We have received your message and are glad to hear that things are going according to plan. We should inform you, though, that we have received word that several ships have entered the atmosphere of Teran Four not but a few hours ago. We do not know what ships they were, as they were unidentified, but one seemed to be a large freighter followed by some small star fighters. We do not know if they are involved with the negotiations, but please be advised that there may be more company than you expect.
"As for this Jaden Usalarye you speak of, we are currently researching the archives for information on her or her family. It is quite odd- and possibly dangerous, I might add- to have someone trained in the Force but not a Jedi. Do not take this girl lightly. We await her arrival with you to Coruscant when you return. May the Force be with you."
The hologram flipped off and Rieg placed the comm back into his belt. Stroking his beard, his mind wandered on Jaden for a moment. Yes, he never thought about the danger she could be. The Sith had been long gone for years, but it had been rumored that perhaps they were waiting their chance, taking children blessed by the Force before the Jedi found them. Very curious indeed. Rieg decided to visit his sleeping quarters on deck and meditate. Perhaps the Force could give him answers on who this Jaden was and why and how she knew the Force. Surely she was no threat. It's possible that even if she was trained by a Sith, she wouldn't know it until she were older and in more control with her emotions. Heading to his room, Rieg already had begun his breathing exercises.

Jaden wandered the halls, she had been right that Rieg was good. And he had earned his master title without a doubt. "I can finally get to Coruscant! And maybe find some answers," Jaden's hand went to her lightsaber almost unnoticed by Jaden herself. She stopped, going over what she knew in her head. Busy ordering the thoughts in her head she didn't notice Rieg coming down the hallway only taking note of his presence when he got closer. "Oh... Hello Master Rieg. Is everyhting alright?"

Seeing Jaden before him, Rieg stopped his walk to his room. He smiled at the girl and put his hand up in the air. "Yes, everything is alright, young one. I've just recieved a message from the council. They are looking forward to your visit to Coruscant with me when I return. They wish very much to speak with you." He moved a bit forward and then turned back to her. "If I may ask again, who trained you?" He figured the information might give the Force a little more leverage in helping him figuring out the mystery. He didn't expect her to tell him at all, though, but had hoped she trusted him enough to share the information.

((Wow, he's straight forward xd ))
"My dad, he said I was gifted with it... very gifted as I helped build his lightsaber. I built mine by myself. As for who trained me," Jaden shrugged, "Dad showed me somethings but everything felt farmiliar." She looked at Rieg curiously. "Why do you ask?"

((Really? I didn't expect him to be. xD ))
Rieg nodded at her response. Her father. Someone close to her, who also had possessed the Force. His mind eased a little, as this new information confirmed that she wasn't kidnapped to be trained by anyone possibly dangerous. He needed to know who her father was, though, but decided not to ask any more information. "Well, you see, it's rare for one to be trained in the Force by someone other than a Jedi. Especially one who has the knowledge and skills to construct a lightsaber- a known Jedi tradition." He paused, and then smiled back at her. "I was just curious, as this is a rare occurence. If you'll excuse me, I have some things to catch up on," he said with his benevolent smile, shifting slightly towards the direction he was headed.

Jaden nodded good enough answer, "Alrighty then." She wanted to ask 'Where do I stay?' but he looked like he was busy and she was a stowaway after all. Asking that might earn the reply 'In the brig ofcoarse!' with a side order of a kind Jedi smile. Besides, Jadne still didn't feel right wandering about the Aurora like a payed passenger. "I'll see you later then, Master Rieg."

Taking Jaden's leave, he made his way towards his quarters. Upon entering the room from the automatic door, he took a look at his surroundings. It was a modest room, with a bed, a sitting area with a small table, and various exotic plants scattered about. A small window looked out into the empty reaches of space beyond. Rieg removed his robe and hung it on the hook provided by the door. Pulling the sleeves down on his tunic, he made his way to the sitting area and sat down on a round red ottoman. Raising his hand towards the dimmer switched, he reached out into the force to lower the lights to a dull glow. He placed his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and let the Force guide him.
He could not see into the future, like he had heard Master Yoda could, but images began to run across his mind. He saw the ambassador, still in the room with Mako, everything still seeming to be alright, to his comfort. He reached farther back, to his first initial meeting of Jaden. Now, with her clear as day in front of her, he scanned her. If she was being trained for any ill will, she was unaware of it, as his impression of her feelings was good. However, the Force wouldn't give him answers as to why she was here and what she was doing on this ship. That, the Force told him, would have to be figured out on his own. In time, the pieces would fit together. Fit together? He asked. Yes, there was something about this Jaden what was familiar. Perhaps not the youngling herself, but someone whom she is related to. He felt a sudden connection to her. The Force nudged him to dig deeply. He took a deep breath and relaxed into a further state of meditation, back to events long ago.
He found himself inside a ship, his hair its original youthful color and short, except for the small padawan braid that had reached just past his shoulders. His old master stood next to him, a Cathar named Utili-ja Hahn. They stood in front of a control panel, sunlight coming in from the hatch, the ship not yet taken off. Utili-ja had taken Rieg to this ship to travel to a world that only these people were familiar with. An older man came to the pair and offered his hand. "Welcome to the ship Oblivion. I am Captain Usalarye. We are welcome to have you aboard this ship." From behind him came a boy who was slightly dirty, obviously having been working on something in the ship. "This is my son," the man continued. "He will help you feel comfortable during the trip." An awkward smile issued from the boy's mouth as he nodded.
Rieg came slowly out of his meditation at that moment, breathing his way out of the trance. He looked around. He was back in his quarters, the lights still dim. Using the Force to brighten them a little, he sat in contemplation.
((Ha, I like to write a lot. Guess I just get carried away. xD I'll save the rest for later.))
((Oh, and if you would rather I make the correlation different than what I'm leading to as to the history between our characters, please let me know. I'm just trying to be creative as I go along. ^.~))

((I love it 4laugh As much as I love Master Yoda lol I'm guessing the boy is her "dad" *cough cough* he raised her but isn't her birth father. As good as any since he's the only dad she has ever known... ninja ))
Jaden had found her way back to the cargo bay with no trouble. Nestling herself in a small hide away, Jaden felt less akward. She had spend entire weeks hiding in similar cargo holds and even sometimes in the smugler's storage undernearth the walkways of ships. Jaden leaned against a collum of boxes with the word "fragile" written in several languages printed on the side. She could sleep here as strange as it might be to some but it was a lifestyle she had grown custom to.

Yes, he remembered the boy. During the long voyage, the boy had come to him at a moment Rieg was alone. The boy went to explain that he felt more comfortable talking to Rieg, someone younger.
His name was Artus, and he had a very important issue he needed to get off his chest. He confided in Rieg that he could do things, sense things, and not know why. Rieg informed him that he probably possessed the Force.
"How did you escape the Jedi who find young children with the Force?" Rieg had wondered, as the temple was the only home he knew. As a youngling, he had been taken to the temple to begin training as early as he could remember. He had never heard of a child escaping the Jedi. It was usually something parents wanted for their children.
"My father has kept me from the Jedi," Artus explained. "We go to a place they can't find us." He paused. "Is it too late to become a Jedi?" he asked.
Rieg nodded slightly. "Yes, training usually begins as early as younglings are able to walk." He stared at Artus. "Is it not your choice to run from the Jedi?"
Artus never answered the question. Rieg saw it in him, though. He wanted to be a part of the temple.
For a while after the conversation, Rieg gave Artus a brief synopsis of Force abilities, per Artus' request. Artus demonstrated his abilities, and even impressed Rieg, though Artus was younger than him.
So was Artus Jaden's father? There was no question about that. But the name... Artus... it sounded so familiar, other than their brief encounter.
Rieg stood up, drank a glass of water, and headed out of his room towards the computers in the main deck.

((I'm BAAACK! ^0^ Sorry I was gone.))
Vios barked happily and chased her tail in circles as Mako sat back against the wall and took in her surroudings. Where was her "Stardust?" Damn, some health hippe musta confiscated it.
"Go ahead, take a piss Vios, explore, whatever," Mako muttered. She had enough on her mind already.

((Yay!! Welcome back))
Jaden gazed iat nothing really, mind blank and unwandering for a brief moment before a flicker of thought crossed it. Reaching inside her back Jaden pulled out a small golden elongated heart. It had designs engraved on it, roses and stars. Moving her hand over it a small par of the top opened up projecting two people possible lovers dansing with each other. As the figures dansed a sweet melody bagan to play the kind of melody that soothed one's soul and at teh same time made one's heart ache for something that was lost in time's flow

((I got so excited I wrote this out ahead of time, so please forgive me in its length. xP ))
Rieg sat in front of the computer terminal, its blank screen awaiting his input. Through some networking, he managed to reach the Temple's archive. Punching in his name and access code, he was ready to begin researching. USALAYRE, JADEN he had typed into the search. Nothing. Not surprising, to say the least. The council would have been able to find that easily. Next he tried USALAYRE, ARTUS. Once again, nothing. He closed his eyes and sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. Taking a deep breath, he tapped the desk with his finger tips.
His eyes still closed, Rieg suddenly had a brief glimpse of a white robe, though no one wore it. The Force had once again sent him a message. He wondered sometimes why the Force couldn't be more specific. But he had always been taught that the Force works in mysterious ways. A white robe... what was its significance? He knew that those in the temple who were not Knights but rather specialized in other fields, such as healing, archiving, or research wore white robes. Would he find help through one of them?
((Alright, I decided to break it up after all.))
