[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles when he mentions her cooking. She nods. Ayu'lesh thought that we might be able to salvage a good table from one of the Republic ships.

You're Welcome Takeda. What else are friends for? She smiles up at him as he passes her. She then follows him out of the room. She then walks to the table to check if she missed anything.

Okay, it looks like everything is ready. We can eat whenever you all are ready.

Phedra sits down as close as she can to the fish. And with a hungry look at it she sits down.I'm ready. Let's eat.

[Takeda]

Takeda takes a seat, he does not eat with his usual gusto, but does sample everything... including a bit of the fish.
"Excellent as always, I will go speak with Dweezel after dinner and get those upgrades."

After a little bit, but before Phedra can scarf it all, he inquires for a small second taste of it.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait notices Takeda lack of appetite but doesn't say anything. She realizes that it is normal under the cirucumstances. She sympathizes with his feelings. She smiles at him when he compliements her cooking.

Thank you Takeda. I'm glad you are enjoying it. It is nice to cook for those who appreciate it.

She nods. Alright, though I think he is working on some of them already.

Phedra is happily scarfing fish. Deliiiiccccccccccious. She makes a purring sound.

Cait chuckles. Someone is happy. There is still dessert so leave some room for it. She says as she takes some fruit.

[Takeda]

As dinner concludes Takeda talks with Ayu'lesh about her idea for the table and gets the information from her. As he leaves Ayu'lesh to see to the dishes, he exits the ship and seeks out Dweezel in the control room.

[Caitlin Windancer]

After dinner Cait goes into her quarters to change out of her bio-suit she then takes a shower and changes into some comfortable clothes. She sits down on the bed just as she feels a surge in the darkside of the Force. An unusual swelling of fear that is not natural. She falls back on the bed when she is gripped by a strong vision in the Force.

She sees first Coruscant being covered by a blanket of darkness and fear.

She then hears a voice singing.

"As I was going to Santaf

I met a man with seven Craft

Each Craft carried seven Agents

Each Agent held seven Banes

Each Bane carried certain Doom

Craft, Banes, Agents, Doom

How many are going to die?

LOTS!"

Though she doesn't know it she sings the song with his voice as she sees the darkness and fear spreading. She then faints.

Phedra rushes into the room when she hears the strange voice coming from Cait's room in time to hear the last part of the song and to see Cait's collapse.

Cait! At least she fainted on the bed this time. Phedra mutters worried. Cait can you hear me?

[Takeda]

Takeda comes back a little while later, a small throng of droids following on his heels. Several push small hover carts with various galley units on them. Ayu'lesh comes running down the ramp as she hears the clamor of the approaching "army" of workmen. However these are not the cowled and robed ones like those in the control room were. These are worker droids, newly minted by the forge.



"Oh good... please tell me they also have one of those automatic dish sterilizers, my hands are going dry washing them all by hand. Phedra as usual had something important come up after we cleared the table.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait is unconscious and doesn't answer. Phedra gently taps her cheek at a loss. She is a warrior not a healer. Cait usually takes care of things like this.

Phedra has seen Cait have visions before but they didn't usually last long and she usually woke up right away. Except the last time she had a major vision and she was unconscious for months.

Cait? Phedra says again in a worried tone. Come on Cait. Wake up! Don't do this. Her voice is almost a wail. She at a loss on what to do next. In frustration she yells.

TAKEDA!

[Takeda]

Takeda looks down to Ayu'lesh as he comes up the ramp.

"You have been doing the dishes by hand? I thought..."

He is interrupted by Phedra's yell, he heads to the tube Cait uses as her room and opens the door before sticking his head in.

"What is it?"

[Caitlin Windancer]

It is obvious from Phedra's expression and tone of voice she is both upset and worried.

It's Cait she fainted and I can't get her to wake up.
I think she had some sort of Force vision.
She was singing but it wasn't her voice. Then she fainted.

She then repeats what she heard Cait sing.

"As I was going to Santaf

I met a man with seven Craft

Each Craft carried seven Agents

Each Agent held seven Banes

Each Bane carried certain Doom

Craft, Banes, Agents, Doom

How many are going to die?

LOTS!"

Phedra is looking at Takeda so she doesn't see Cait's eyes flutter open.

You don't need to repeat it Phada hearing it once was enough. Cait says in a faint voice as she struggles to sit up.
Cait! You're awake. Don't scare me like that again. Phedra says in a relieved voice.

She pushes Cait back down.
Don't try to get up.

I need to contact Nick on Courscant right away. What ever caused that plague isn't natural and he needs to know. And it is only the beginning it is only going to get worse. I saw the spread of darkness and fear. Whatever this is, it is like it feeds on the fear. Cait says allowing Phedra to push her back down not having the strength to fight her.

I'm fine. I just overdid it. A good night's sleep and I'll be back to normal.

[Takeda]

Takeda looks at her skeptically, then over to Phedra.

"Is it something that is critical? You have somewhat explained visions to me, is Master Cousland knowing today going to change it, or ensure it transpires as you saw it? This seeing the future - as you describe it - is as a sword that cuts both ways."

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait sighs. Yes, it is critical. What I saw wasn't so much the future as the present. Nick needs to know so he knows where to look for a cure if there is one. This isn't an ordinary disease if he doesn't know that he will waste valuable time on the wrong thing. He needs to know what he is fighting. It seemed like that it was feeding off the fear. That is not natural. What the vision told me that thing was diliberately made by someone. The voice I heard I think was the voice of the disease's creator.

She pauses for a moment. The only thing I can think of that does something like that is something created with Sith Alchemy.

She sighs again.
Nick needs to know not so much for the future if there is one but for the present.

The future is always in motion Master Yoda said. That is because it depends on our decisions. Visions often show what will happen if things continue as they are. I don't know if this disease stoppable or not. We won't know unitl we try to stop it. The only one who might know how to stop it is its creator. I just don't know, I have knowledge of many things but I don't know everything that is providence of the Valar not me.

She struggles to sit up and pushes Phedra's hand away when she tries to push Cait back down.

I'm fine. I need to do this, now.

[Takeda]

"Well then, lets get you taken care of so you can rest peacefully afterwards"

Despite Phedra's potential protests he leans in and scoops Cait up to carry her to the cockpit to use the long range coms.

"What disease are you taking about?"

As they move forward Takeda has to shoo away a construction droid who was measuring one of the parts to the galley.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Thank you Takeda. Cait says relieved.

Phedra follows after protesting all the way. Cait ignores her.

Cait blushes. Oh, I forgot you don't know. I've been in contact with my friend Aine who has been covering for me by pretending to be me on Yavin with something my brother made for us to communicate with each other. She touches the jeweled circlet she is wearing. It transmits my thoughts from mine to hers so that I can talk through her to the person she is talking to at the time.

There was a plague outbreak on Courscant. It has been killing lots of people. The planet is in lock-down. Nothing in or out of the system with out special clearance. The Chief of State asked for the Jedi for help. I sent Nick there to investigate and see if he could help. And he put Yavin in lock-down until further notice before he left.

[Takeda]

"We really should check in more, or at least watch the news."

As he carries her into the cockpit, he sets her down in one of the oversized chairs and gets her comfprtable before grabbing a headset and a datapad for her when he notices the blinking light on the relay com.

"Hmmm something on the coms, maybe Nick has a message hanging out there for you...

As he checks it, he finds out that is not what it was, but auto-hails on one of the distress channels.

"Well that was not it, someone has a series of distress calls out, I will plot it out while you make your call. The long-range is on and all set up for you, oh and here.
He passes her the headset and the datapad, then goes back over to the panel and sits down and begins plotting the coordinates.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles ruefully. Perhaps we should.
Oh?..A distress call. Now what?

Okay Takeda. Thanks. She takes the headset and the datapad.

She puts in a call to Nick's secure line.

It beeps his comm-link with an incoming call.

Just as she does she gets a nudge from Aine.
Oh great. Now what? She thinks. Yes? Problem? She transmits to Aine.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait talks to Nick telling him of her vision. After speaking with him she talks to Aine.

Aine tells her of Corey being on Yavin and asking to speak with her she gives Aine instructions on what to do. She then talks through Aine when she meets with Corey.

[Takeda]

As Takeda goes about plotting the coordinates of the distress signals, Ayu'lesh watches them install the new galley and directs them with the new table.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Phedra in the background paces back and forth like a caged cat. She is not pleased that Cait is expending this much energy when she hasn't recovered yet from her earlier work releasing the spirits into the Force and having a Force vision. She is grumbling as she paces.

[Takeda]

Takeda watches Phedra, pace back and forth for a few minutes. At first he minds his own business, working on the calculations for a few moments before he notices she has not settled down. He turns in his seat to face her, and crosses his arms; not in a wholly smug manner, but one designed to get her attention.

"If you keep that up your going to wear a hole in the decking. Relax a little, I know she is your charge and your friend, but she is a Jedi master... Your going to work yourself into a state of exhaustion if you keep going on like this. And then what good would you be to her? I should make you sit down and read the Warrior's Path Codex, it might do you some good."

[Caitlin Windancer]

Phedra stops pacing and looks at Takeda with a scowl and says with a worried growl. You don't understand. I've seen her like this before. She will keep this up until she completely exhausts herself. She is the one who needs to relax before she collapses again. She can't seem to help herself when anyone needs her she has to help them whether or not she has the strength to do it or not.

She looks down her nose at Takeda and says with a snort. I have been a Warrior for over 300 years cubling I don't need to read the Warrior's code I live it.
