Disturbing news

[Qui Sun Sin]

Qui Sun Sin landed her ship carefully and with ease into a large hanger bay on the planet Yavin Four. Though it wasnt as grand or splendid as the mythical temple on Corescant it was still a magnificent building.

The Academy and other training buildings stretched out around the temple, dorms, private quarters, small shops and of course the hanger bay demanded a large part of the landscape but the planet was still lush and green.

With a whine and hiss the landing strusts of the 'Shinning phoenix' took the load of the large ship and with another whine and almost exhuasted sigh the ships engines disengaged and slowly whirred to a stop.

Sun stood up from the pilots seat and flicked a few switches before turning and with a flick of her robes leaving the cock pit and headed towards the exit ramp.

A buzzing and beeping noise soon began to follow her and she smiled, "Yes R7, we're home." she nodded and smiled at the small unit as it trailed behind her.

More beeps and excited blips followed this statement and Sun smiled as the ramp lowered and she exited her ship, walked down the ramp and smiled at the young mechanic and academy student who stood waiting for her.

"Good trip Master Sun?" asked the young woman, rubbing a cloth over her hands.

"Nothing too taxing." Sun smiled, she was only a Knight and not on the council but since she was indeed more capable then the young student and she had passed her recent trails she was granted a certain respect.

"Anything needing repairs or looking over?" the young woman asked as R7 rolled down the ramp after the young jedi.

"The Hyperdrive engine could use a once over and R7 has a few scapes and burns." Sun said looking up at her ship as the area continued to be a hive of activity.

R7 beeped and whistled as the Padawan looked him over and nodded, "Shouldn't be too much trouble." she smiled and Sun smiled back brightly.

"Good, I must speak with the council, are the masters in session?" Sun asked looking around as the sun broke through the clouds above and for a moment blasted blessed yellow light down on them.

"I believe master Trayger is in the temple." She turned and pointed and Sun bowed her head in thanks.

"Many thanks Padawan, I wont keep you from your work any longer." she smiled and went to make her way towards the path that would lead her to the temple.

R7 beeped and Sun turned to see the small droid trying to follow her.

"Stay here R7 you need a good clean up. I'll be back for you soon." Sun smiled and headed towards the temple.

She smiled at the students and others that passed her by as she made her way towards the towering Temple of the Jedi, a massive tower of stone that comemorated those that came before and the wisdom they passed on.

Sun took a deep breath as she fell into the shade of the building and made her way through the arch door to the center chamber searching out Master Trayger.

The light from outside flooded the room through large windows and Sun smiled, the temple had a peace and serenity about it that she rarely felt outside of its walls.

"Master Trayger." Sun said as she entered the room and saw the master speaking with a young Padawan.

*Tag Maxel*

Sun bowed her head to the young student and smiled then quickly returned her gaze to the Jedi master.

*Tag Maxel*

"It's nice to be back."

*Tag Maxel*

Sun watched the young learner leave the room and fell into step with the older man.

*Tag Maxel*

"Our intelligence was right, the Imperials landed a small force on Burkara." she nodded.

*Tag Maxel*

"They're becoming more emboldend. I had to fight through several ranks of them before I could complete my mission."

*Tag Maxel*

"The intelligence report master skywalker asked for is downloaded into my R7." she nodded and clasped her hands behind her back.

*Tag Maxel*

"Thank you master."



*Tag Maxel*

[Maxel Trayger]

"Master Trayger." Sun said as she entered the room and saw the master speaking with a young Padawan.

Max turned to see a familiar face. He allowed a smile to cross his face. He glanced at his padawan and said, "I will catch up to you later."

Sun bowed her head to the young student and smiled then quickly returned her gaze to the Jedi master.

"Welcome back," he said warmly.

"It's nice to be back."

Max waited until the padawan was out of earshot before continuing. As he walked down the corridor he confided, "You've been gone a long time. I was starting to get worried when I found out you hadn't returned. A lot of Jedi are going missing."

Sun watched the young learner leave the room and fell into step with the older man.

"Was your mission fruitful?" he asked at last.

"Our intelligence was right, the Imperials landed a small force on Burkara." she nodded.

Maxel sighed, "I'd hoped that that little piece of intelligence was somebody's bad dream. I didn't think the Empire capable of such a move. Their resources must be dwindling and they must know that such an act could possibly reunite the New Republic Senate against them. To risk it..."

"They're becoming more emboldend. I had to fight through several ranks of them before I could complete my mission."

"This news must be delivered to Master Skywalker at once."

"The intelligence report master skywalker asked for is downloaded into my R7." she nodded and clasped her hands behind her back.

"Go see him at once," ordered Maxel, "I'm leaving in the morning to return to Outer Rim. A couple of Jedi have gone missing on Tatooine investigating a report of possible pirate activity." He sighed, "Tatooine has always been a hive of scum and villany, but reports indicate that these particular pirates have Imperial 'connections'." He looked at her and shook his head, "I've taken to rambling on in my old age. Now off you go, and good work out there."

"Thank you master."

He looked at Sun and said, "If Master Skywalker releases you, I could use some help. Let me know before morning."

*Tag Sun*

Maxel nodded and turned to head for his quarters. Things were going from bad to worse for the New Republic. The Jedi would have their work cut out for them defending it.

*Tag Anyone still alive out there?*

[Qui Sun Sin]

He looked at Sun and said, "If Master Skywalker releases you, I could use some help. Let me know before morning."

"Yes master, I will see him immediately." she bowed her head and allowed herself a small smile. The young master was younger then Qui Sun and he worried about rambling.

Maxel nodded and turned to head for his quarters. Things were going from bad to worse for the New Republic. The Jedi would have their work cut out for them defending it.

Sun watched the master leave the corridor and turned to look out a window over an obstacle training course. If Master Skywalker wasn't in the council chamber he was most likely conducting training.

With a swish of her robes she turned and headed down another corridor and towards a door leading to a series of path ways over looking the training run.

It was at one of these stations she saw Master Skywalker, watching over a few new initiates as he put them through their paces.

"Master Skywalker." Qui Sun said loudly enough to be heard over the sounds of lightsabers and the phsyical exertions of the students.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"Yes master, thank you, Master Trayger said I should see you immediately, I have the intelligence report you asked for." she said watching the young learners from above.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"Your information was correct, the Imperials set down a small number of troops on Bukara. Not a large force but enough to have the local population worried. They took control of a power facility." Sun clasped her hands behind her back as she gave the master Jedi the details.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"They werent in very large numbers, they were attempting to set charges around the facility."

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"Your informant was most helpfull after I cleared the facility of the troopers." Sun smiled and followed her master along the walkway as the students progressed through the training.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"The full report is downloaded into my R7 unit, he's having maintenance done as we speak but I can bring it to you after that's completed." Sun nodded.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"Thank you master." Sun smiled, "Master Trayger asked me to accompany him on his mission to Tatooine but if you have another assignment for me I'm sure he can find a Padawan more then willing to go." Sun said following the man down to where the learners gathered once they had finished the excercise.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"I'll collect my R7 and meet you there." Sun nodded and turned to head back towards the hanger and collect the sometimes mischievious little droid. They weren't supposed to have personalities but she liked the fact he was a trouble maker.

"How is my little guy looking?" Sun asked the young maintenance worker as she strolled into the repairs and refit area of the hanger bay.

"He's holding up very well, tough little units are the R7's." the young man smiled as he gave the small blue unit one last wipe down.

"Thats good to hear, come on R7 we've got a meeting with Master Skywalker." Sun waved the little unit over and it beeped and whistled happily as he scooted along.

"No, you haven't gotten me into trouble." she laughed and patted the little droid, turning they headed back inside the main building, down the twisting halls back to the central chamber.

"I have the report Master." Qui Sun announced as she walked into the room with R7 trailing behind.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"He's a sturdy little guy, seen me through some tough missions." Sun smiled and retrieved a small disk from the unit's memory and handed it to the Jedi master.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"I think I'll meditate and perhaps take a run at the training course before seeing Master Trayger." Sun bowed her head.

*Tag Master Skywalker*

"Its been a while since I was here, but I think I still remember where my quarters are, thank you master." She smiled brightly and turned to leave the chamber and navigate the halls untill she came to her own room.

Sighing and running a hand over her tightly braided hair she pulled off her outer robe and the layer beneath it. With a heavy moan she walked over to her bed and flopped onto it while R7 rolled into the room and backed himself into a corner to keep a silent watch.




*Tag Anyone.... anyone out there?*

[Qui Sun Sin]

After a few hours of sleep and meditation Sun felt distinctly refreshed. Her mind was clear and focused.

"Why dont you go back to the Phoenix R7, I'm going to go on a training run." Sun smiled as she packed away her outer robe and a few other items of clothing into a small bag and handed it to the small droid. He clasped it in a claw like tool and beeped as he zoomed from the room.

"Just dont touch any controls!" she called after him semi seriously, the last time she had told him to wait in the ship he had nearly blown up the navigation array.

With a shake of her long dark braid she headed out to the training run just as the sun began to sink taking the last rays of deep orange light with it. Inside the training area it was as if night had already fallen. Dark shadows crawled along the walls and some areas were already in darkness.

Sun walked over to the control settings and programed in her perfered level, with a satisfied nod she stepped into the area as the heavy blast doors slammed shut behind her.

Pulling her two Lightsaber hilts from the belt at her waist she stood for a moment without moving, small insects clicked nearby and the evening breeze sweept through the open aired corridor but still she didnt move.

Carefully she took three paces forward and stopped. A sound to her left made her raise one lightsaber and turn the blue bladed weapon on.

With a sudden eruption a door, disguised as a solid rock wall flew open and a programmed battle droid wielding a yellow lightsaber slashed at her.

Flicking her body backwards Sun flipped and slashed her blade at the same time, severing the arm of the droid.

As she landed she turned on the second blade and the purple light erupted into life right in the droids chest.

Another slashing movement saw her blade tear through the droid and rip it cleaning in half. The Droid whirred and hissed and fell forward.

With a self satisfied smile and nod Sun turned off the blades and made her careful way down the rest of the corridor.

Leaping over a large chasm she used the force to push open a door at the end and threw a droid that was waiting behind it onto the steps below without so much as touching it.

Jumping forward and rolling into a flip she landed on the stone floor and looked up and around herself, the only way out was up, but the stairs led down not up. The other exit was locked.

"Hmm." Sun looked around the room and decided she could made the jump onto the over head passage but why waist the effort and energy jumping all that way.

Looking around her area she noticed fallen stones and smiled to herself, closing her eyes and raising her hand she lifted the fallen stones untill they made a half hearted set of steps.

Smiling to herself she leaped on top of the highest one then jumped straight up to catch the lip of the walk way and pull herself up.

Another battle droid was waiting for her at the end of the hall and she dispatched it in a few minutes, slightly longer then it took to fight the first one, but this setting was designed to get slightly harder as you progressed.

Next came a room with collapsing doors that she had to sprint and slide under before continuing on to a room with collapsing floors she had to leap over and use all her lightening fast reflexes to keep herself from falling.

The last area was a large open area containing ruins and rumble as well as two superior battle droids.

With a inclination of her head to the droids she turned on her sabers and fell into a battle stance.

This time it was like a deadly dance between her and the droids, all four lightsabers flashing and hissing as they slammed into one another over and over again. Using all her training and skills Sun managed to get the upper hand over the droids and sliced into their metalic shells severing servos and controls.

Sweat had beaded on her forehead by this point and she was breathing fairly hard, her heart was hammering in her chest and her muscles ached a little but she was very satisfied with her training.

Switching off her sabers she bowed her head to the fallen droids and made her way to the exit, the door slid open to reveal a small group of younglings and padawans.

Sun looked around at the faces and smiled, "Shouldn't you all be inside?"

With much babbling of voices the group sprung into action and disappeared in several directions to return to their rooms and the mess hall.

With a soft chuckle and smile Sun headed inside passing a fountain on the way she splashed water on her face and over her hair before making her way to the area of the Temple that housed the personal Quarters of the Masters and council members.

She took a breath before she pressed the door alert alarm on the door to Master Trayger's quarters and waited for him to admit her.

*Tag Trayger*

"Master Skywalker has released me into your service Master Trayger." Qui Sun announced as she walked into the room and found the Jedi master at a small table.

*Tag Trayger*

"Will your Padawan be accompaning us Master?"

*Tag Trayger*

"If two jedi have gone missing already, perhaps a larger presence is called for, show them we do not ignore the loss of our Knights." Sun said taking the offered chair across from Maxel.

*Tag Trayger*

"My ship is in good condition to make the trip and if we happen to find our missing brethren there are medical bays aboard." Sun nodded.

*Tag Trayger*

"Who on Tatooine would have the nerve to attack jedi?" Sun asked curiously.

*Tag Trayger*

"Yes Master, I'll be mindfull." she nodded with an uneasy smile, the idea what some one was brave enough strong enough or stupid enough to injure capture or kill two jedi knights was unsettling to say the least.

*Tag Trayger*

"Dinner is being served in the main hall if your hungry master?" Sun stood up and headed to the door.

*Tag Trayger*

"At dawn then, Good night master." Sun bowed her head and left the room as quietly as she had entered.

Without a second thought she made her way to the main hall to have her meal before returning to her quarters for a night of sleep and meditation.




*Tag Trayger/Anyone*

[Maxel Trayger]

She took a breath before she pressed the door alert alarm on the door to Master Trayger's quarters and waited for him to admit her.

Maxel looked up from his meditations and used the force to open the door. He could sense the familiar presence and said, "Come in, Sun. What news do you have for me?"

"Master Skywalker has released me into your service Master Trayger." Qui Sun announced as she walked into the room and found the Jedi master at a small table.

"Excellent," replied Max, "Your aid will be much welcomed."

"Will your Padawan be accompaning us Master?"

He smiled and looked at her, "Yes, she's very green, but I have high hopes for her."

"If two jedi have gone missing already, perhaps a larger presence is called for, show them we do not ignore the loss of our Knights." Sun said taking the offered chair across from Maxel.

"I understand your logic," said Max with a sigh, "But it is not possible. The Jedi are spread across the galaxy and we're stretched to the limit already." He grinned suddenly, "Are you still flying around in that rust bucket?"

"My ship is in good condition to make the trip and if we happen to find our missing brethren there are medical bays aboard." Sun nodded.

"Good," said Maxel with smile, "Lets hope we find them in good condition, but if they haven't contacted us yet, we must assume they're captured, incapacitated or worse."

"Who on Tatooine would have the nerve to attack jedi?" Sun asked curiously.

"Whoever they are," warned Maxel, "They're not to be treated lightly. If they got the drop on two experienced Jedi, they are very dangerous."

"Yes Master, I'll be mindfull." she nodded with an uneasy smile, the idea what some one was brave enough strong enough or stupid enough to injure capture or kill two jedi knights was unsettling to say the least.

"Good," said Maxel and closed his eyes, returning to his meditation, "Now get some rest. We leave at dawn."

"Dinner is being served in the main hall if your hungry master?" Sun stood up and headed to the door.

"I'll keep that in mind," replied Max, "Goodnight, Jedi Sun."

"At dawn then, Good night master." Sun bowed her head and left the room as quietly as she had entered.

Maxel couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with the force. Something, maybe the dark side, was concealing it from them. Not even master Skywalker could see past the now to give some guidance.

Something was coming. it was all he knew for certain. Something was coming, and when it arrived, the galaxy would be changed forever.

*Tag Anyone/Arianna/Sun*

[Qui Sun Sin]

Sun stood at the bottom of the ramp leading up into the belly of her ship with her eyes closed as the sun slowly crept over Yavin and grey morning turned to a dazzling pink and orange sun rise.

Breathing in and out slowly she stood in a meditation stance as the sky line changed to bright blue with shots of pink.

Beeps and blips behind her told her R7 was rolling down the ramp.

"Dont worry, we'll be on our way soon." Sun smiled as she continued her morning meditation awaiting Master Trayger and his Padawan.

*Tag Trayger and Arianna*

"Good morning Master, Padawan." Sun smiled bright and inclined her head to them both.


*Tag Trayger/ Arianna*

"The Shinning Phoenix is ready and waiting." Sun stood aside and allowed the other two to enter the ship first with little R7 bringing up the rear.

*Tag Arianna*

"The phoenix is one of the fastest ships the Jedi have at their disposal." Sun smiled as she lead the way to the main area and then headed to the cock pit.

*Tag Trayger*

"I won it fair and square in a game of chance." Sun said with slight indignation, she knew the master was teasing.

*Tag Arianna*

"It'll take a few hours in hyper space to get to Tatooine. You can take the time to rest and meditate before our mission if you like. Or you can chat to R7." Sun shot a look to Master Trayger before getting comfortable in the pilots chair and beginning the take off sequence.

*Tag Trayger/ Arianna*

"You've never been to Tatooine before have you Padawan?" Sun asked without taking her eyes of the controls in front of her as the atmosphere engines of the Phoenix started up with high pitched whine.

*Tag Arianna*

Sun spun the seat to face the navigation chart and plotted a course from Yavin to Tatooine then spun back to the controls and leaned back to flick a few stitches above her head.

"Your in for a few surprises, maybe you can spend the time reading up on Tatooine's history." Sun said shooting a look to Master Trayger in the co-pilots seat before lifting the Phoenix off the ground and making a break for the ever brightening sky.

*Tag Master Trayger/ Arianna*

"Once we get into Hyperspace its all automatic, we just have to leave the atmosphere." Sun assured him with a smile as they broke through the clouds and headed towards the inky black sky.

*Tag Trayger/ Arianna*

Sun heard Arianna leave the cockpit and pulled the controls a little as she righted their flight path.

"You were right, very green."

*Tag Trayger*

"They all learn in time." Sun smiled as she made sure they were all set for Hyperspace and pushed the lever up slightly to warm the engines up.

*Tag Trayger*

"There's a training remote on board if you want to give her something to do." Sun smiled as the engine status showed green and she pushed them into Hyper space.

*Tag Trayger*

"So long as she doesnt slice R7 in two." Sun chuckled softly.

*Tag Trayger*

Qui Sun looked over her shoulder as the young Jedi master left the cockpit and headed back to the main area of the ship.

"This is going to be an interesting mission." Sun said to herself as she checked over the controls one last time and then made her own way to the center room.

Sun stood at the bottom of the ramp leading up into the belly of her ship with her eyes closed as the sun slowly crept over Yavin and grey morning turned to a dazzling pink and orange sun rise.

Breathing in and out slowly she stood in a meditation stance as the sky line changed to bright blue with shots of pink.

Beeps and blips behind her told her R7 was rolling down the ramp.

"Dont worry, we'll be on our way soon." Sun smiled as she continued her morning meditation awaiting Master Trayger and his Padawan.

Maxel caught her last comment as they approached and nodded as he looked up, "Indeed we will, and a lovely morning for it too."

*Tag Arianna*

"Good morning Master, Padawan." Sun smiled bright and inclined her head to them both.


*Tag Arianna*

"The Shinning Phoenix is ready and waiting." Sun stood aside and allowed the other two to enter the ship first with little R7 bringing up the rear.

*Tag Arianna*

"The phoenix is one of the fastest ships the Jedi have at their disposal." Sun smiled as she lead the way to the main area and then headed to the cock pit.

"Yeah," admitted Trayger as he went around and made sure his own fighter was secured to the Shining Phoenix's docking port, "She stol it from this smuggler on Darus IV."

"I won it fair and square in a game of chance." Sun said with slight indignation, she knew the master was teasing.

*Tag Arianna*

"It'll take a few hours in hyper space to get to Tatooine. You can take the time to rest and meditate before our mission if you like. Or you can chat to R7." Sun shot a look to Master Trayger before getting comfortable in the pilots chair and beginning the take off sequence.

"Chat to R7?" said Maxel with amusement and glanced at his own astromech droid who was twittering and whistling away at R7, "I think R7 and Three-bee have some catching up of their own to do."

*Tag Arianna*

"You've never been to Tatooine before have you Padawan?" Sun asked without taking her eyes of the controls in front of her as the atmosphere engines of the Phoenix started up with high pitched whine.

*Tag Arianna*

Sun spun the seat to face the navigation chart and plotted a course from Yavin to Tatooine then spun back to the controls and leaned back to flick a few stitches above her head.

*Tag Arianna*

Maxel sunk into the co-pilot's chair and watched Sun work. He leaned back in the chir, "Need a hand?"

"Once we get into Hyperspace its all automatic, we just have to leave the atmosphere." Sun assured him with a smile as they broke through the clouds and headed towards the inky black sky.

Maxel nodded, "Great." He leaned his chair back even further, "I should think about getting me one of thse fancy ships."

*Tag Arianna*

Sun heard Arianna leave the cockpit and pulled the controls a little as she righted their flight path.

"You were right, very green."

Maxel smiled wryly, "We all were. The galaxy is a ood teacher. She'll learn."

"They all learn in time." Sun smiled as she made sure they were all set for Hyperspace and pushed the lever up slightly to warm the engines up.

If they survive, he thought, but didn't say anythin else.

"There's a training remote on board if you want to give her something to do." Sun smiled as the engine status showed green and she pushed them into Hyper space.

Maxel nodded and rose, "Thanks. I'll let her know."

"So long as she doesnt slice R7 in two." Sun chuckled softly.

Maxel smiled, "She's fairly good with a lightsabre already. She just needs to get over the self-doubt and...find self belief."

Qui Sun looked over her shoulder as the young Jedi master left the cockpit and headed back to the main area of the ship.

"This is going to be an interesting mission." Sun said to herself as she checked over the controls one last time and then made her own way to the center room.

Trayger found Arianna in the ship's common area and saw the remote lying on a shelf. He picked it up and tossed it to her.

"Practice with this for an hour or so," he said and flopped down into the couch. He picked up a holo-mag and lay down and put his legs up. "Get started, Padawan."

*Tag Arianna*

[Anakin Skywalker]

"Hello Qui Sun Sin

"Yes master, thank you, Master Trayger said I should see you immediately, I have the intelligence report you asked for." she said watching the young learners from above.

"Very Good." He said calmly and quietly.

"Your information was correct, the Imperials set down a small number of troops on Bukara. Not a large force but enough to have the local population worried. They took control of a power facility." Sun clasped her hands behind her back as she gave the master Jedi the details.

"Very well, anything else?"

"They weren't in very large numbers, they were attempting to set charges around the facility."

"Continue"

"Your informant was most helpful after I cleared the facility of the troopers." Sun smiled and followed her master along the walkway as the students progressed through the training.

"Very Well"

"The full report is downloaded into my R7 unit, he's having maintenance done as we speak but I can bring it to you after that's completed." Sun nodded.

"That would be the correct choicel"

"Thank you master." Sun smiled, "Master Trayger asked me to accompany him on his mission to Tatooine but if you have another assignment for me I'm sure he can find a Padawan more then willing to go." Sun said following the man down to where the learners gathered once they had finished the excercise.

"Get your R7, and meet me at the communication center. This date must be sent to the New Republic. We will lighten a few other topics as well."

"I'll collect my R7 and meet you there." Sun nodded and turned to head back towards the hanger and collect the sometimes mischievious little droid. They weren't supposed to have personalities but she liked the fact he was a trouble maker.

*Out of Practice Sorry*

[Qui Sun Sin]

Sun sat in the pilots chair with ease, she had been flying the Phoenix for years, she knew every sound every inch of her ship. She leaned back and looked at the black curtain of stars as they sped by them and smiled. There was nothing like it, flying through space. Flying in general was a nice feeling.

R7 came buzzing into the bridge with his little friend in tow.

"Hey Three bee how've you been?" Sun smiled at the little droid and patted it gently. It beeped and buzzed and whistled an answer and Sun smiled.

"Sounds like you've been keeping Master Trayger out of trouble."

More whistles and high pitched noises and R7 replied in kind.

"Ok you two chatter boxes out of my cock pit, I need to fly this thing remember." Sun said making a shoing motion with her hands to clear them out. It took a moment but they spun around and zoomed back out of the cockpit.

"And dont break anything R7." Qui Sun called after the little blue droid. He beeped and went on his way.

"I swear if he wasnt so good at his job." she shook her head with a smile and checked their progress.

"Shouldnt be much longer now." she stood up and made her way back to the common area to speak with Master Trayger.

"It shouldnt be too much longer Master." Qui sun said walking into the room and avoiding the practise droid Arianna was using.

*Tag Trayger*

"Another half an hour at the most." she smiled and took a seat to watch the young Padawan train.

*Tag Trayger*

"You need to keep your shoulders loose Padawan, dont tense up so much, it makes your movements more fluid." Qui Sun suggested as she leaned back in her seat.

*Tag Trayger/ Arianna*

"Tattooine isnt the nicest place. We'll have to try and fit in if we want to find our missing knights." Qui Sun watched the movements of the Padawan with a smile.

*Tag Trayger*

"There are spare clothes on board if you want to change into something." she nodded and stood up to go back to the cockpit.

*Tag Arianna*

"I'm sure I have something in your size Padawan." Sun grinned and pulled off her outer robe and left it on her seat before going back to the cockpit and checking on their progress.

*Tag Trayger*

"Shouldnt be too much longer Master, do you have some kind of plan for fitting in down there? I dont want to be fighting my way out of danger again, remember Corroth?" Sun smiled as she checked the controls and the Navigation.

*Tag Trayger*

"That brawl was all your fault." Sun smiled at the young master before taking control of the hyperdrive and bringing the engines back down to half power. The streaming flow of passing stars began to halt and slowly fall back into ordinary space as they engines died.

*Tag Trayger*

"The hutts have ships that patrol space, smugglers and pirates and the like, it would be best if they dont find us dropping out of hyperspace right over the planet. If we look like just every other smuggler and criminal they might just ignore us." Sun said taking manual flight control and bringing the engines back to ordinary and atmosphere.

*Tag Trayger*

"If they dont? Well this ship does have guns and we have that nice little ship of yours attached to my hull." Sun smiled as she worked the controls and headed for the dusty surface of Tattooine.

*Tag Trayger*

"We'll land in Mos Eisley, its the biggest piece of civilization here and the most likely spot our missing knights would have landed." Sun looked up at him before looking back at the controls.

*Tag Trayger*

"You go make sure your padawan is prepared. I'll land us." She flipped three switches above her shoulder and another three on the right panel before taking the controls again.

*Tag Arianna/ Trayger*

"Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for flying with the shinning phoenix today we hope we've made your trip a pleasant one. Please wait untill the ship has come to a complete stop." Sun said over the Com system and smiled as she took the slightly jerky controls for their descent down to the dusty sand covered surface of tattooine.

*Tag Trayger/ Arianna*

"Alright baby, stay with me." Sun ran her hands over the controls and pulled hard left as they came down through the atmosphere and headed for Mos Eisley.

*Tag Trayger*

"Approching Vessel this is Mos Eisley landing station, what is your business here?" asked a voice over the com.

"Well, we normally dont get a greeting." Sun said to herself before pushing the com button and replying.

"This is the Shinnin Phoenix we're here on business, what that is is our business." she replied.

"Very well, docking pad D is clear for landing." said the voice and Sun smiled.

"Thank you." she replied before steering the ship towards the docking pad and setting it down gently.

"Ladies and gentlemen and droids of course, welcome to Mos Eisley." Sun said as the Phoenix touched down with a groan and shake as the landing struts took her weight.

*Tag Trayger*

Sun turned off all the controls, put the ships engines in cool down mode and locked down the computer incase someone tried to come on board who wasnt invited, in Mos Eisley that was more then likely.

"R7! You stay with the ship, if anyone comes aboard who shouldnt, Zap em." Sun said walking into the common area and smiling at the little droid.

He beeped and twittered and she took that as a very happy yes.

*Tag Trayger*

"We're parked in landing pad D, we should be pretty much left alone here, this is the back part of the landing area." Sun said walking over to a cabinet and pulling out an outfit.
