We're all dying to find out. **Flashback** (Boudreax, Asha, Taral)

"Taral, Asha, and Boudreax learn of a terrifying legand revolving around the dead returning to life to walk amongst the living once more. What shall the band of Jedi uncover? Find out next time on Jedi Ball Z!"

* Asha looks at them seriously, adamant that what she had said was true. Their doubtful expressions frustrate her even more.*

It's true! I've read personal journals talking about it! The dead coming back to life!

* She shakes her head*

I'll prove it, then!

*I sigh*

It sounds like work of a sith to me. Don't you think we should be more cautious? I mean I'm usually one to be a loose cannon but I feel this may be dangerous....

*I give a worried glance towards Asha.*

*Boudreax shaking his head*

The elders from my youth talked of spirits that used to visit young warriors going into battle. But never physical beings from the spirit world.

* Asha shrugs.*

I feel there must be more to it than what was in those journals. Surely those bodies were being manipulated. I've seen many dead bodies, and none of them were trying to kill me....anymore, at least.

* She looks between the two of them seriously*

I don't think we would have much to worry about, considering anyone that could have been manipulating them would be long dead by now. I'd just like to investigate a bit.

*I look to Boudreax*

Alright....what do you say young friend? Shall we?

*Boudreax nods in agreement*

I shall go grab my gear.

Ah!

* Asha reaches out to stop them*

Perhaps we should keep this to ourselves. I'd rather not cause a big stir.

*I wink*

Secrecy is my middle name

* Asha grins*

I'm a bit worried about the skill I've been working with Kodo on.

How so?

*I stop and turn to lend an ear*

It seems he may have been using it to eavesdrop.

*She grins, shaking her head*

Hmmmm, I see. should I deal with it?

*I give a devilish grin*

If we need him silent I can handle it...

* Asha gives a hearty laugh*

No, I do believe it will be alright.

* She cocks an eyebrow*

He knows better than to cross his master, afterall.

* She rubs her forehead absentmindedly*

Although he is a bit hard headed

*Kodo absentmindedly ribs his ears as be easevesdrops 'someone must be talking about me'

*I turn and grin in his direction knowing he can see through the walls*

*Without much else, Kodo turns his back to Consular Taral, his middle finger sticking up for some reason pointed towards Taral

*I grin*

And that's what I like about you Kodo *I say softly*

Keep that fire.

* Asha exaggeratedly sighs*

I'm sorrounded by younglings.

I’ll follow your lead counselors. Where are we heading?

It seems there were two locations where outbreaks occurred. One was on an imperial prison barge, the other a place called the Odacer-Fausten Sith Academy. The only other information that I have is that the last place anyone from the academy traveled to was a planet called Marfa. If we aren't able to find anything at the academy, we will investigate there.

* Asha begins heading to her ship.*

It's a good thing I started keeping the ship stocked, otherwise everyone would know something was up.

* They swiftly board the ship and set their course for the academy.*

*I sit aboard Asha's vessel, quite, contemplating. "A sith academy.....hmmmm" "this does not bode well. I've got a bad feeling"*

*I look around at the other two then back to the vacuum of space*

*As we jump to hyperspace, Boudreax gets up from his seat and starts to walk out of the cockpit*

If you need me I’ll be meditating, Grand Master has made a point of telling me to work to quiet my mind and try to strengthen my connection to the force.

Sounds like a good use of the time young Boudreax, We'll try to keep distraction to a minimum *I grin warmly* I know you'll do great things.
