****FLASHBACK**** Mission to Coruscant

*Asha stood leaning against the wall of the dining hall, deep in thought, her face set into almost a scowl. She had been thinking of her home back on Coruscant. It had been years since she'd been back, and now she had been instructed to retrieve some of her family's research on the history of different planets and people. She had yet to tell her Padawans, and was debating asking Taral if he would like to accompany her as well, since it was his homeworld, too.*


*~*Leaders will be Taral and Asha, posting order: conversation: Asha, Boudreaux, Kodo, Taral, Cran....combat: Cran, Kodo, Boudreaux, Taral, Asha*~*

*Boudreax stands up from his seat and notices the Counselor*

Everything ok Counselor Rhak-Qo? You seem troubled.

* I jump a bit, surprised by being addressed before smiling warmly at Boudreaux.*

I am, my friend. There is just a new mission that I have been assigned that I am....concerned about.

*Taral thought*
Hmmmm Coruscant?
I barely know the place... I left when I was very young and haven't been back, I don't see why not.

* She grins at Taral*
Eves dropping again, old friend?

Kodo walks in, looking at her with his covered eyes, "seeing" her aura. "Master, the force flows around you as a tempest. I look around at Boudreaux, and Consular Taral. "What's going on my friends" he says wiping the perspiration of a hard days training from his face

* Asha sighs before smiling at Kodo.*

I can hide nothing from you, my Padawan. Your sight is too.... extensive.

* She stands from the wall, stretching a bit.*

My mission is to retrieve my family's research. I can bring anyone along with me that I feel would help the mission. It's just that I have some...history with the place.

Getting ready for a trip Padawan Kodo, I see you've been training hard. Keep up the good work

*I grin and touch his shoulder*

*still catching his breath he grins* "Those blaster droids really aren't merciful" *as he ruefully rubs a group of red little burns. Looking back at his master "Tell me what's wrong Master, I've been here a year, I'd say that's long enough to know something's up"

Let's just say.. Counselor Rhak-Qo and I have a history with Coruscant.

*I grin a Kodo*
we both hail from there yet we never knew one another till we came here. Strange how the force binds us.

*Looking over at Consular Taral* Indeed isn't it strange. Just last year I was living in the streets, and hardly knew about the force. Now I'm a jedi *I chuckle* "the force is strange indeed

* I nod, frowning slightly again.*

Neither of us have the best histories with Coruscant, but the Grand Master has assigned this mission. Perhaps the three of you would like to join me? I'll be departing soon.

* Boudreaux nods*

Didn't have much to do anyway. Sounds like a welcome change of pace.

* Kodo smiles*

Of course, Master.

then let us be off

*I grin and proceed to walk out*

~~~***Meanwhile on Coruscant***~~~

Filthy shops line the alleyways, signs glowing dully against the dark gray walls. The scent of cheap alcohol and the sound of a terrible band blast from the open doors of the bar ahead. This was where he's been told he could find someone to help him with his problem.

(back on Yavin)

* Asha watched as everyone finished packing their supplies onto her ship.*

Welcome aboard my baby *she grinned proudly before glancing at Taral* except you. I'm still trying to wash off the blaster burns from the last time I let you pilot her. *She cracked a huge grin, unable to hide it*

* Boudreaux nods, parking away the remainder of his supplies before stretching and stifling a yawn.*

* Kodo grins, shaking his head playfully*

Here we go again

Well, maybe next time you should keep your attitude in check and not piss off the Kamalan sky pirates yeah?

*I grin and shake my head then shrug and board the vessel*

* Once everyone was on the ship, Asha could feel herself becoming more and more tense. She could sense that they would be meeting someone on this mission, yet friend or foe she couldn't tell.*

* She sat in the cockpit, breathing deeply to calm her nerves before hitting the thrusters. The ship began to lift and she called out to everyone to get ready. Once they were out of the atmosphere, she set the coordinates for Coruscant.*

*Boudreaux gets up from his seat and looks at Kodo*

Kodo, maybe we can take this time to finally do that sparing match we talked about when I first arrived at the temple. If you feel up to it that is. *I grim at the Miraluka*

I won't turn you down for that, Boudreaux

* A mischievous grin spreads across his face.*

Careful now Padawans *I grin* Id hate to have to take you back to Yavin for a broken arm or leg
