Corey bows to Master Windancer and to Colin, for the first time in a long time Corey was able to bring a smile to his face. He looks up at Cait
"I am sorry for bothering you Master Windancer, but I am in need of some assistance. If you have not heard already that KDY was attacked by one of my former Admirals. She lost my whole fleet and for some unknow reason I and my student was attacked on KDY. Man, I really made a mess of things there."
Corey places one hand on the back of his neck showing how serious things had gotten out of hand on KDY.

Cait returns his smile. Colin nods in acknowledgement to Corey's bow.
It is always a pleasure to see you Corey. And you are never a bother. How can I help you? Yes, I have heard something of this. The reports were rather vague from there. One of my friends came through there recently and gave me a little more updated information. Something about the array being attacked and you were arrested?
Cait says as she sits down. Colin hovers behind her chair protectively.
What can I do to help you Corey? And Selena what happened to her? I heard that your ship was confiscated. Is that correct?

Corey eyes follow Cait as she sits, Corey gets down to one knee and lower his head.
"Yes its true, they have her and I cannot sense her. So there is no telling what or where they have her. Well to be honest, I am the last of my kind. The Grey Jedi Order is Dead, no word from none of the Old Masters and I have failed as Kage."
Corey then place one hand on his knee and the other on top of it. This was the first time he see the truth for himself.
"I went to KDY to repair my beat up fleet to start over and continue to look for the Masters and bring them home. I have fail not only them but my troops as well. I am surprise that Admiral Thorne is still by my side after all this. The reason I am here Master Windancer is that the Darkness is trying to take over me. "
Corey takes a deep breath as he finish his statement
"Like I said I went to repair my fleet but ended up loosing control to the Dark Side and almost destoryed the KDY from within. I only was trying to assist my student and now I have no ideal if he is alive or not. From the look of it, Master I did not sense him when I was with the Emperor. So that too makes me a failure. If I cannot help the weak what good am I?"
Corey places both hands to the floor and drops to both his knees as a tear comes to his eyes from his pain, the pain that had hunted him since the death of his family, the death of the Grey Jedi Order and the death of his student.

Caitl listens intently to Corey as he explains what happened to him, her eyes never leaving his. When he finishes she looks thoughtful for a moment before she answers him.
I see. There may be many reasons you can't sense her. They might be using something that blocks her from being able to communicate with you.
I think if they had tried to move her from Kuat you may have heard something. She is not exactly a ship you could easily hide. She is rather unique if someone saw her they would have remembered her. And no one mentioned anything about her to my friend. Also there is that Kuat is still in lock down. Not only from what happened with the Array but because there has been an outbreak of plague in GA on Courscant. So the traffic in and out of the system is being strictly monitored right now.
Just because you haven't found anyone yet doesn't mean that they are not there. The galaxy is a big place with many places to hide. Especially if they don't want to be found. She shakes her head. You have only failed if you give up Corey. You have made mistakes and some misjudgements but if you have learned from them then in my estimation you haven't failed. What you need to do is correct them as far as you are able to do so. And above all do not give up. The quality of a leader is not judged by how many mistakes he makes but in how he handles them.
Your student? This is the first time you mentioned him. The RGE imprisoned you both, is that correct? Hmmm.... if they didn't harm you I would say he is still alive. And I know something of the RGE's methods when dealing with Force sensitive prisoners. They would cut you off from the Force and made sure you couldn't use the Force against them. I may be wrong but I would assume they would have done the same to your student. If that was so then that may be why you couldn't sense him. He was probably blocked so you couldn't sense him through the Force. She shakes her head. What because you were outnumbered? I don't see it that way at all. Did the Emperor say anything about him?
She smiles at the thought of Admiral Thorne's loyalty. Yes, the Admiral was here looking for you I'm told. He left before I got a chance to talk to him. I'm glad he finally found you. I'm not surprised that he is with you. You have good people around you Corey.
At the mention of the darkness trying to take over him. Corey, it can only do that if you give into it. I know you have been taught about being in balance. You are telling me you have lost that balance?
When he goes down on his hand and knees Cait gets up and places a hand on his shoulder and looks at him with a concerned expression on her face. Corey? Are you okay? Cait's concern and light flows from her through Aine to Corey. Aine stares in awe at her hand as she feels the strength of the Force from Cait flow through her into Corey. How does she do that from so far with such strength? She thinks to herself in awe.

Corey feels the strength of the light from Cait, but then something was not right. He closed his eyes as used the force and then he realized what she was saying was right. He kept his eyes closed as the quiet his mind and he welcomed the peace. It was a warm feeling the flowed through him as he continue to take it in, he felt another presence as he opened his and looked up at Cait.
Corey stood up and looked around at the group, he continues to stare at the Cait then a warm smile comes over his face.
“Yes, it would be hard to move her from there without someone seeing her. But Lord Ire did not say a word about having Rajnish there. He was in bad shape after our fight on KDY, mainly most of it came from me when I had lost control.”
Corey turns around placing his back to Cait, and slowly walks a few steps away. His thoughts went on the feeling of someone else when he felt through the force. He turns and looks back at the group.
“Yes Admiral Thorne is a great friend and so he was looking for me. He never said a word about it, I will make sure I thank him for it. I must say that you are right Master Windancer, but may I ask to be alone with you for a moment?”
Corey waits to see if they would agree to leave him alone with Master Windancer.

If he was that badly hurt maybe they were still fixing him up. Maybe he will be released when he recovers. But it is odd that Ire didn't say anything about his condition to you. She shakes her head. Perhaps he had other things in mind for your student he didn't want to share. Lord Ire doesn't like to show his complete hand in anything, you never quite know where you stand with him.
What were the conditions of your release Corey? I'm sure Ire imposed some on you.
Yes, he is a good friend. You are lucky to have him. I'm sure he would appreciate the thanks.
When he asks to speak to Cait alone Aine blinks in surprise not expecting that sudden request. She looks at the Commander and he frowns. She looks back at Colin and he is scowling. Aine is at a momentary lost on what to say. She hears Cait's whisper in her mind. I think he knows Aine that you are not me. He must have felt your presence when you touched him. It's alright agree to talk to him alone. And tell Colin to stop scowling she says with a chuckle in Aine's mind Corey is not going to eat you. Then Cait speaks through Aine to Corey. Of course Corey if you wish to speak me to privately you may do so.
Colin makes a sound of protest. Aine takes a deep breath and looks at him and says. Colin its alright and quit scowling he is not going to eat me. She turns to the Commander and Cait says through Aine. Commander, if you would please take my brother and wait outside. I will call if I need you.
The Commander frowns not quite liking to leave the Grandmaster alone with Corey but salutes he knows and order when he hears it. Yes, Grandmaster. He gets up and leaves the room.
Colin scowling follows him out. I don't like it Tia Jhyli (My Love). He says to Aine. He then says to Corey as he leaves the room.You better not do anything to cause her harm or this galaxy won't be big enough to hide you from me.
Alright Corey we are alone. What is it you wanted to say to me that couldn't be said in front of the Commander or Colin?

Corey looks as they leave an nods to them. He then places a smile at Colin and turns back to Master Windancer. Once they were alone he spoke.
“I am sorry but I did not wish to say anything in front of the others. You were good, but you are not Master Windancer, I mean GrandMaster Windancer. (rubs his neck) She have become very powerful in the Force. You had me fooled until your thoughts gave it away, you too was impressed by her power as I was.”
Corey bows once more to show Grandmaster Windancer
“I see all your training has paid off, Grandmaster and thank you for the light. Lord Ire did give me a warning not to go near Kuat or he would come wipe me off the face of Planet Roon himself. (laughs slightly) Maybe so, that he could have him but once I was free I felt nothing there.”
Corey stands up, and looks at Aine
“It seems that Grandmaster must be on a important mission to make it seems that she was still here on Yavin 4. I was not sure if it was wise to say anything in front of the others. That was why I wanted to speak to you alone. So who are you really?”
Corey crosses his arms and keeps a smile on his face.

Cait to Aine. I told you so. He knows my touch. Go ahead Aine tell him. Aine to Corey out loud. Thank you but I couldn't have done it without Colin's or Cait's help. That she has I think she keeps getting stronger. This journey of hers as caused her to grow even stronger. So that is how you knew. Aine's expression is rueful. She told me that you knew.
Cait through Aine. You're welcome Corey. I'm glad it helped. Now that sounds like Ire alright. You wouldn't have if Ire had him isolated from the Force.
Aine to Corey. She is. One of the things she went to do was find out what happened to you. The Commander doesn't know but it would have been alright to say something in front of Colin he knows. In fact if it weren't for him it wouldn't have been possible for her to leave. He made this... Aine lightly touches the circlet she is wearing then continues...so she could speak through me to others who needed to talk to her. I don't know how it works I only know it does.I didn't know she could send the Force through it to others as well.
My name is Aine Calimehtar. I'm the Captain of High Queen Aisling's royal guard and a good friend of Cait and Colin. She entrusted me to take care of things here until she could get back. She gave me strict orders before she left and I am only following her instructions. I do nothing on my own in regards to the Order or her work without clearing it with her first. I keep her fully informed on what is going on.I hope you will keep this to yourself it could endanger her as well as the Order if it were known.
Cait to Aine. Aine if he would like to join us where we are he may do so. We are on Lehon at the moment but we will be leaving shortly Takeda has picked up a distress call and I believe we are going to investigate as soon as we can determine where it is coming from and our repairs are finished.
Cait said to tell you.... Aine then repeats to Corey what Cait just told her.

Corey placed one hand on his chin
"I see, its a pleasure to meet you.(he bows to Aine) There is no need of concern from me saying anything. Grandmaster Windanxer are very good friends. She have helped me a few times, an I owe her my life. Your secret is safe with me."
Corey gives Aine awarm smile as he continue to stare at her face. He was amazed on how she looks like Cait an he did not sebse it. He was not the average force user but it did fool him.
"I have one thing to say, be careful if you have to touch someone. If they a powerful with the force they might find out the truth. Now I have been away for a while I need to get some training in. Being lock up and disconnected from the force took a toll on me."
Corey crosses his arms as he thinks about staying or going to see if he could be any help for Cait.

OOC Corey you need to fix your previous post Aine didn't pause she just repeated what Cait told her I didn't want to retype all that. I had to fix my previous post as well because T said it wasn't clear.  Aine to Corey. Thank you. I know Cait appreciates your silence in this matter as well. Yes, she has been telling me you are friends.
Yes, that is why I have avoided touching anyone up until now. I would haven't done so now if Cait didn't need for me to touch you in order to help you. I'm not a healer but a warrior. I have been lucky so far in avoiding have to heal anyone. Lucky for me there are enough healers here they don't need me to heal. Eleyn Cait's other friend has been helping me with any of the medical matters that come up.Seeing Corey staring at her, Aine smiles with Cait's smile. I don't normally look anything like Cait this is a disguise. One that I drop at night when I'm alone. It takes too much energy to maintain it all the time.Aine nods. I can understand the need for training. |

(OOC: Sorry was busy last night and I fixed my post)
Corey smiles then he thinks for a moment, something that he has not done in years. To rush in knowing nothing is not the right way, he needs more information. Maybe Cait can fill him in on where to meet them.
“Grandmaster, I need the location to meet you. I have a Heavy Corvette “God’s Hand” that can assist you. So for now, I will wait on getting Selena back and hope she will be alright until I can retrieve her.”
Corey bows
“My sabers are, oh wait I don’t have them anymore. They are on KDY, so do you carry any each Sabers around here?”
Corey smiles but it’s a bad thing to lose your Sabers, He knows that he did not wish to kill anyone else, he did the right thing by giving them up.

OOC: Np Corey and Thanks.  Cait to Corey through Aine. One moment Corey, I will check and see if Takeda has the coordinates yet.Aine says with a smile to Corey as they wait for Cait to come back with an answer. I think we can find you a weapon or two before you leave. You might talk to Cait's brother one of his hobbies is weapon making. |

Corey nods to Aine
"Well I think once I get the coordinates, we can have them return and I will ask him then. So, was there any word on where the virus came from? "
Corey turns slightly and looks over at Aine
"Grandmaster, once we are done with this mission. Will you be able to train me in some arts on how to calm myself to keep the balance?"
Corey hopes that Cait would train him or have someone that was strong in the force to assist him with his request.

Aine shakes her head.
I haven't heard anything yet from Master Cousland, Cait put him in charge of the investigation into the virus and what may have caused it. Cait might have talked to him since he left for Courscant and know more about it.
In answer to his question Aine says. I will pass the request on to her, Master Dooku. She is not listening at the moment. I think she is talking to Takeda at least that is the impression I getting from her. But if I was to give you my opinion I would say that is why she asked you to join them.
Cait when she gets the coordinates she gives information to Aine. Cait says to tell Corey.
Aine says to Corey. Cait has given me the coordinates and the marker # THX-1138. And she said to tell you that the closest system to it seems to be Zonama Sekot.

After Corey listens to Aine he looks down an hits his comlink.
"Admiral Thorne, prepare the ship. We will depart once I return, there is something we must do."
Thorne "Yes, Lord Dooku."
Corey looks at Aine with new life in his eyes. He can only hope that his actions will prove worth to Cait. Corey looks back at Aine.
"All I need now is a couple of lightsabers, do you think he has them to spare? I mean, I dont have time to wait on make them. Time is something I dont have right now. Dont worry about it, I will ask Grandmaster Windancer once I met up with them."
Corey minds drift on his old homeplanet, why there or who is there? Its been too long since he has been there, plus he might get a chance to see if the planet can help him. He places his hand on his chin in deep thought.

Aine to Corey. We can ask him when he comes back in. He might have some lying around he is always experimnenting with new designs for them.
Cait to Corey through Aine. Corey do you have charts of the area? You might want to look at them. If you know any shortcuts there you might want to use them. I think time may be of the essence with this. We are leaving our current location as soon as our repairs are done. It will take us at least eight hours to get there if not longer. Takeda is going to see if he can get his droid to plot a faster route there. Be careful if you go near Zonama Sekot I don't know what the current situation is on the planet. Pray that the Yuuzhan Vong traditionlists aren't in power again or we all might be in trouble.
Don't worry about Selena we will see if we can't do something to get her back for you. So don't do anything rash alright? Take care Corey and I will see you soon I hope. Goodbye for now.
Aine to Corey. Cait has cut the connection. I think she was getting tired. It takes alot of energy to maintain the link for any length of time.
Shall we call Colin and the Commander back in before they have a nervous breakdown wondering what is going on? Is there anything you want to ask me before they come back in?

Corey smiles alittle, his thoughts goes out to Cait knowing him all to well. He nods to Aine or was it Cait, he knows she understand that he will do his best to support them.
"Yes, Grandmaster I will not fail you or your team."
Looks over to Aine
"Its time to call them back in, I have no more time to waste. Thats going to be a long trip, and I need to leave as soon as possible."
Corey thinks on the Vong being on his homeplanet or the Grey Jedi Order. He shakes his head those days are over, he is the last so he has to make the best of it.

Cait says with a smile though Aine to Corey before she cuts the connection. I know, Corey. I know. See you soon.
Aine nods. I wll call them in then. Is there any supplies you need before you leave? Aine says as she gets up and opens the door. The Commander looks up from what he is doing. And Colin practically falls into the room because he was leaning against the door waiting for them to finish talking. Aine suppresses a chuckle as he falls right into her arms.
You alright, Col?
Colin leaning against Aine smiles up at her seeing where he landed. I'm great, Tia Jhyli (My Love). Everything okay? Are you alright?
Yes, everything is fine. Corey will be leaving soon but will need a weapon before he leaves. The RGE took his. Do you have any lightsabers he could have?
Colin to Corey after reluctantly straightening up.
What kind did you have in mind? Regular or dual phase? Any particular blade color?

Post by Corey Dooku on Feb 11, 2011 22:53:20 GMT -5
Corey looks at they entered the room he notice Colin as he started to talk to him.
"I prefer the white or black blade, but they have to be regular. Its been a long time since I had to remake one for myself, but I dont have time to hunt down the black crystal."
Corey notices his hands are crossed as he was standing straight, his one eye with the scar slightly closed making him look like a tough guy. He was able to crack a smile from his hard look on his face.
"Master Colin, it would be a honor to carry any saber that you are willing to part with. I will return them once I return and I will go out an get my own crystals. I heard you were the best in weapons (slightly looking at Aine), maybe one day we can sit an talk about a new lightsaber that I been thinking about."
Corey turns to Aine
"Well I will need to use a Stealth fighter, if I am going out on my mission. My Heavy Corvette will be easily seen, man what I would give to have Selena now. She would be prefect for this mission. Now, if you can spare a Stealh ship. I think that Admiral Thorne would not agress about being left behind on this one, since he just caught up with me."
Corey laughs a little as he uncross his arms.

Does it have to be white? Will silver do in a pinch? I have Durindfire crystal. hmmm.
Colin asks as he checks his datapad. I have a Krayt dragon pearl will that do? If I give you one Corey you can keep it unless you want to return it. I would be happy to design any saber for you, that you want later Corey. I'm always open to new ideas for weapons.
Aine thinks for moment when he requests a stealth fighter and then shakes her head.
No, Corey I think you may need your Heavy Corvette and the Admiral as well. You don't know what the emergency is yet. You might need the firepower on the heavier ship.
