Good. I will have the Light's Hope[/i] prepped and ready for you in Hanger Bay B within the hour. Let me know what equipment you want added to what's there.
She calls up the inventory for the ship on her datapad and hands it to Nick.
I will have it sent to the ship.
She then comms the hanger and asks the flight crew to prep the ship for a medical mission.
There that is done.
Cait to Claire. I'm looking to you to use your head on this mission. I know you can do this. Keep yourself and the others safe.
Take every pre-caution and keep your eyes and ears open.
Cait to Kiimi. Listen to your Master and Master Cousland. Follow their orders explictedly. Do you understand me Kiimi?
Kiimi first to Claire then Cait.
Yes, ma'am. Right away. Yes, Master Windancer. I will do that. She then leaves to go pack.
To Nick. May the Force be with you all.

Just then as Nick is about to head out of the office, he receives a special call on his commlink from Bakura. He answers it and then pauses to look at Cait and Claire. "Cait, its mom and dad, seems like they're requesting one of us to head home to aid in setting up a quarantine there. What should we do?" He says, a worried look in his eyes.

Claire pauses, a worried look in her eyes as well. "You don't think the virus has reached Bakura do you?" She says walking over to Nick and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Then one of you should go. You need to go to Courscant. So I would have Claire go to Bakura. That might work out better anyways. Your parents would probably kill me if you both were exposed to this plague.
That reminds me make sure you coordinate with Jade what you find out and any information she has regarding what it could be. Start with known diseases. This might be a mutation of something we seen before if this has natural cause if not then we be dealing with something completely new.
I want daily updates while you are away and sooner if you find out something significant.

Claire looks at Nick and nods her head. "She's right Nick. You've got more experience in combat and dealing with this medical stuff. You go. I'll head to Bakura and take care of our people there." She gives him a gentle hug. "You take care of yourself brother. Please, come back to us safe."
She then looks at Cait. "Cait, should I take Kiimi with me, or would it be best to leave her here at the Temple?"

Nick looks at Cait and nods his head. "Very well. I'll head immediately to Coruscant then and begin my investigation. I'll report anything that I find and give you and Jade periodic updates."
He grimaces slightly. "Ugh, that would be bad if both of us would catch the plague and die from it. You'd never hear the end of it from mom and dad."
He looks at Claire when she places her hand on his shoulder and nods his head. "Don't worry dear sister. I'll be okay. You just head to Bakura and take care of our parents and our people. Implement a lock-down of the system if you can."

To Nick. And in dealing with officials on Courscant.
To Claire.
She is your padawan you can't teach her if she is here. Besides she needs to learn how to handle things like this if she is going to be Jedi.
To Nick. Good. She grimaces at his second statement. I don't even want to think about it. They would have my ears at the very least. Just you be careful. I don't want to lose you.
To Claire.
Give my greetings to your parents.
To both of them.
Now go and the Force be with you, both.

Claire nods her head listening to Cait just as Kiimi walks back into the office, carrying her travel bag. "Change of plans Kiimi, you and I are heading to Bakura to help them there. Master Cousland is heading to Coruscant on his own. We'll take my personal ship, I've got a YV-100 light freighter that was given to me. Well, let's go."
Kiimi looks at her and nods her head. "As you wish Master Cousland." She looks at Cait. "Goodbye Grand Master. We'll report in once we arrive."
Claire looks at Nick and then at Cait. "Well, we're heading out. Take care, both of you." With that, she and Kiimi head out of the office and head towards the hangar bay.

Nick nods his head and watches as Claire and Kiimi both head out of the office. "Be safe you two." He quietly whispers. He then walks over and gives his cousin a hug. "Well, I better go. I'll send a report once I arrive. Be safe and May the Force be with you as well Cait." He turns and walks out of her office and heads into his office.
He packs a bag of several days worth of clothes and packs his weapons. He then lugs the bag over his shoulder and quietly heads out of the office, closing the door. He then heads down the hall and through the Temple, heading to the hangar bay.

Goodbye Kiimi. You too Claire.
Cait returns Nick's hug. Okay, I will wait for your report. I should be still be here.
When he leaves she goes back to her paperwork determined to reduce the pile.
A couple of hours later Cait finally clears the paperwork from her desk. She leaves her office and walks to her temporary quarters in the dorms.

Aine as Cait is in Cait's office doing paperwork and talking to Colin. Then it happens and they feel a huge upsurge from the darkside of the Force then a buzzing of voices that resolves itself to singing in the Ancient language.
They hear the following.
Spoke Malbeth the Seer:
Pent Malbeth i Diriel:
Erin ennor pelia gwathand,
nan annn rovail môr rimmol.
I vinas gîr. Nan serch erain
manadh anglenna. I echui
I Firn. I lû Gwedwerwaith tôl:
Ne Gond Erech adylithar;
Lastathar romru ath emyn.
Man gerel rom? Man estol hain
E thinnu thind, i 'waith ú-rîn?
I chîl pen amman gwestanner.
O Forven telitha. Baur horth'.
Athratha Fen nadh Raid i Firn.
(Over the land there spreads a long shadow, turnward flow wings of darkness.
The Ivory Tower trembles, to the high-hall of the King doom approaches.
It is the awakening of the dead, The Oathbreakers' time doth approach.
At the Stone of Erech they shall stand again, and all will hear the black clarion horn sing across the void.
Who will hold the horn? Who will call them forth? The Bright Man, shining as a silver spear,
the cast off seed of grey in the twilight, forgotten peoples rise.
To the heir of him to whom they swore, from the North shall they be released, black needs driving them.
He shall pass the Door to the Paths of the Dead that do not Die.)
Aine and Colin look at each other. The seal has been broken and the Oathbreakers are free.says Colin. Aine pales and asks. Does Cait know?
Colin nods. If I do she does. She is more in tune to these things than I am. Maybe you should contact to see what she wants us to do? Colin says.

On her way to the hangar bay, Claire suddenly stops and staggers against the wall, her hands going up to hold her head as she feels a tremendous amount of Dark Side energy coming from somewhere. "What the hell was that?" She mutters quietly.
She regains her footing and does an about face and heads up to Cait's office to find out what happened. She knocks on the door and pushes it open to find Cait and Colin both there. "Hey Cait, Colin. Sorry to intrude, but I just felt something really bad. Any idea what that was?" She asks still holding her head slightly.

Aine as Cait looks at Colin before answering Claire.
You felt that darkside surge? Have you ever heard of the Oathbreakers, Claire?

She grimaces slightly from a headache starting and nods her head. "Yes, I did feel that darkside surge. It was a dark and terrible feeling. Something I don't ever want to feel again." She then raises and eyebrow and shakes her head. "No, I've never heard of the Oathbreakers. Who and what are they?" She pauses and then speaks. "Does it have anything to do with our special bloodline?"

Aine/Cait and Colin exchange glances. Then Aine says. If the worst that happens with this we will be very lucky.
The Oathbreakers, the Banished Ones, the Dark Ones. They have many names. They were the Sidhe version of the Sith but a thousand times worse. Think of them as Demons and you wouldn't be far wrong. They make Sith Lords look like grade school kids. They were banished and sealed from this dimension by the Ancients.
What you felt and I'm sure every Force sensitive in the galaxy felt. Was the breaking of that seal. They are coming again. The Force save us from them.
Yes, and no. Your bloodline protects you somewhat from them but not totally. You can resist their illusions and their persausions to a certain extent but not like if you were a full Sidhe.

Claire's face takes on a serious look and she nods her head as she listens to Cait's explanation. "Well, that's just great." She walks over to one of the chairs and sits down in it. "So, these are ancient Sidhe badguys basically." She shakes her head taking in the information.
She then glances at Cait and Colin. "So uh, exactly how do we banish them back again if they have indeed broken their seal?"
She nods her head in understanding. "Well, I just hope we don't run into them any. At least my half Sidhe blood will help some." She then looks up suddenly. "What about Nick? He's on Coruscant and probably doesn't know what's going on. We need to contact him at once."
She sighs and looks at Cait. "Speaking of which, do you need me to still head to Bakura with this situation or stay here?"

Aine nods. In essence, yes. Superbad guys. Aine frowns and looks at Colin.
He grimaces and says. They no longer look or act like Sidhe. They have been corrupted by darkness and are totally evil. Though they do try to hide their true nature from those they try to seduce until it is too late. And oh they hate humans and other mortals.
Aine and Colin exchange glances when she asks about banishing them. Good question. Oh the seal is definitely broken because I can hear their inferenal singing. Colin says as he rubs his ears.
Aine nods and says. Me too. I wish they would sing on key.
I hope we don't run to any of them ever. Aine says. She glances at Colin. He says.
If we felt it then Nick did too. Yes, I think we better to let him know what is going on. I'll take care of that.
Hmmm.... I think that you need to contact your parents and see if they still need you there. We have things in hand here for now. She finally says.

Claire nods her head listening to Cait. "I see. So the ultimate evil doers. That's just great." She mutters quietly.
She listens quietly to Cait and Colin talk and then nods her head. She pulls out her commlink and is about to contact home when she pauses. "I think Nick just left Coruscant and is headed here. Something must be up."

Aine as Cait. Yeah, not exactly the best news, I know.
Colin to Claire. He is? Oh, how do you know that Claire?

Claire raises an eyebrow and grins slightly. "Well, he is my older brother and we are connected through our Blood and the Force right?" She shrugs her shoulders. "Well, maybe its just because he was my Master. Either that, or I'm just becoming more fluent in the Force." She glances out the window and laughs. "He should be landing soon."
