Zed perked up at the Jedi mantra. He was not going to go into it now but they, the Jensaarai had their own tenants very similar to their own. Through truth, We gain true power, Through this power, We gain peace. They were very similar to the Jedi and their beliefs but distinct enouh.
There is nothing formal about the process right now. Once we find a temple and get ourselves settled. Lets assume anyone that is here right now, unless otherwise stated is interested in seeing this through. Is everyone amicable to that?

Wyt's feet shuffled in excitement. He finally felt right about something. He wasn't sure what it was, but he was very excited about joining the Jensaarai. He felt he had found his place in the universe, and he wanted to get straight to furthering the Jensaarai cause. He finished his burger in a hurry.
"So, where do we start? If a temple is what is needed then let's find a temple! Do the Jensaarai have any enemies? Who will be most dangerous, so we can best defend ourselves?"

Viktor walked through the city, taking in the sights as he walked past them. He could feel the presence he felt earlier becoming more clear as he grew closer to where it was originating from. Viktor hoped that he would reach them soon, as he seemed like he had been walking for a while, even though in reality it was more like an hour at most. Viktor now hurried up his pace so that he could meet the others who like him wished to become a Jensaarai. After a bit more walking Viktor was now outside of what he could only image was a hotel, or perhaps it was a motel, it was had to tell given the design of the buildings in this city. He walked up to a door which as far as he could tell was where the grouping of force presences were located, Viktor proceeded to knock on the door. It was loud enough for anyone inside to hear, but not loud enough to wake anyone who might happen to be resting at this establishment.
"My name is Viktor Tau-Xesh, and i'm here to join the Jensaarai."
Viktor proceeded to wait until the occupants in the room answered the door. Viktor wondered what type of people he would meet once the door opened.
Back at The Redeemer
Captain Dalton and the rest of the Redeemer's crew had just gotten back to ship with supplies that they would need for they next trip, however long it would be. Once the supplies were loaded Dalton sat in his seat in the cockpit waiting to receive word from Viktor. Kurr and Karr wandered throughout the ship making sure everything was in its place.

Full of questions aren't you? I guess you will fit right in. After a bit more walking Viktor was now outside of what he could only image was a hotel, or perhaps it was a motel, it was had to tell given the design of the buildings in this city. He walked up to a door which as far as he could tell was where the grouping of force presences were located, Viktor proceeded to knock on the door. It was loud enough for anyone inside to hear, but not loud enough to wake anyone who might happen to be resting at this establishment."My name is Viktor Tau-Xesh, and i'm here to join the Jensaarai."Viktor proceeded to wait until the occupants in the room answered the door. Viktor wondered what type of people he would meet once the door opened. Not so good at timelines are you Mr. Tau-Xesh? Don't worry about it come on in all you have missed so far was a brief history lesson. Sitting back down Zed went back to the questions asked by the Nautilin. Indeed we will find a temple Wyt. Our previous temple was a temple made by a Sith a long time ago and it would not do to tread over where we were before. We should find our own temple, hopefully something within the growing reach of the G-C-O-R. We should study the history of nearby worlds and we will hopefully find something of use. I doubt there are any left who would call us enemies, we have always been prosecuted since our creation years ago. Right now none no we still exist but once we announce ourselves to the galaxy at large someone will oppose us. They always do. His voice sounded resigned at this. Altough he had only been present for one of the prosecutions the Jedi, the Empire, the Vong every power eventually took a swing at the Jensaarai and left the bloodied but still alive. Im afraid the First Order will be the most dangerous. Maybe not its inhabitants individually but as a whole their practices are not great. They will hurt us. Although Viktor was a human many of the people present were not, they were aliens of some sort and the Xenophobia of the Empires of past and present were well known. The mistake of the previous Saarai-Kaar was to isolate us and not have us involved in the affairs of a galactic power. It was no mistake I have chosen to do this here on Geonosis. |

Wyt watched Zed move to the door and come back with someone new. He wasn't being impolite by not acknowledging them immediately, but Zed had begun talking again and the young Nautolan was hungry for any information about the organisation he now belonged to. He also felt a tinge of excitement at having an adversary, and wanted the action to commence. He was still young and the Jedi had not yet hammered out his idealistic view of war; only time could do that. "So, our pursuit and mastery of all knowledge as pertains to the Force will be our guiding principle; will we actively try and bring balance to the Force? It is something that Picas has wanted to achieve for decades, and this sounds like the right organisation to take up that mantle of responsibility."
He stood and bowed at Viktor, the newcomer, and extended a hand. "My name's Wyt. Are you a Jensaarai too?"

==We Come in Pieces RP==
<<107 PP, R16 Sector, Geonosis>>
The two GR75s flew gracefully down to the planet in a coordination that was born of completely drone controlled spacecraft. Settling down on the same extra large landing pad, each hinged open at the front. Each had been equipped with cargo modules, & loaded down with a wide selection of trade goods of nearly any type imaginable. Within moments of setting down, M1 drones where quickly assembly tents, canopies, & stalls for the locals to browse through. At this was done in full view of any locals that might happen to be nearby.
The main draws that were being displayed at the moment were jewellery & other ornamentation, food stuffs of wide ranges that had their origins in the far flung reaches of the galaxy (before being added to the Imperium's collection). Of course, there was the normal selection of technical gear, raw materials, & other devices. If anything did particularly well in the selling, more could easily be sent down from the ship above. & for very big orders, well that was when you started calling in friends. A happy customer is a paying customer after all.

Viktor walked in the room after a man who appeared a Stennes Shifter, a species that Viktor had read about but never met on his travels. Not wanting to be rude, Viktor stood and listened to the one who answered the door. Viktor would have to at some point apologize for his tardiness. As he listened to the Stennes Shifter, he nodded in approval at the notion of studying nearby worlds to find something of use. The advantage of no one knowing about the Jensaarai was something that could prove useful, Viktor was already thinking of ways to use the advantage. After the Stennes Shifter had finished speaking a Nautolan began to speak in response, Viktor could tell that the Nautolan was still young by the way he spoke. After the young Nautolan finished he turned to Viktor and introduced himself. Viktor gave a half grin as he introduced himself to Wyt.
"Good to meet you Wyt, my name is Viktor." After introducing himself he extends his hand to met Wyt's hand, then began to answer the question."Not yet, but I do intend to join the order."
After introducing himself and answering the question that Wyt had asked, he turned to face the Stennis Shifter.
"I would like to apologize for being late, the city is so fascinating and I couldn't help but to take in the sights, before arriving. Is there a particular place we should began to look at for a temple? "
As he waited for answer, Viktor began to think of nearby worlds that could work.

I guess it all has to do with how you want to look at the force. You can seek to balance it within yourself by learning all you can. You can't bring balance if you only learn one side of it. Did Zed sound like a politician? Yes. Was it the best answer he could come up with? Yes. He did not personally care about bringing balance to the force, so long as there were those who wanted to only blindly learn what they were given, not questioning anything it could not be achieved. It would be many many generations before their order would be able to attempt to bring any semblance of order to the force. After introducing himself and answering the question that Wyt had asked, he turned to face the Stennis Shifter."I would like to apologize for being late, the city is so fascinating and I couldn't help but to take in the sights, before arriving. Is there a particular place we should began to look at for a temple? "As he waited for answer, Viktor began to think of nearby worlds that could work. It is fine, I've spent months here and have yet to see everything. Far to many droids for my liking though. We should look for areas here in the Outer Rim, something within the borders of this emerging galactic power would be better. If we are to rise up in strength again we could form some sort of relationship between us and them. |

Wyt nodded enthusiastically. This was what he had been thinking when he had been discussing the Jensaarai with Zed, and it is also what Picas had been preaching for so long. One cannot bring balance to the Force while favouring one side, because that was not how balance worked. Balance required Light and Dark; a mixture of the two. Wyt felt queasy at the idea of being described as even remotely aligned to the Dark Side of the Force, but perhaps that was part of the problem.
The Jedi needed to evolve. Perhaps the Jensaarai were the evolution they needed?
"So, who is our Grand Master? Erh, sorry - the funny name. I forget what it is. Who is our leader?"

That question was the closest that Zed had come to laughing the whole meeting. A deep smile formed on his face which only furthered his skeletal features of his face. This was an interesting question none the less. In truth he had only been halfway through his official training to become a Taralsaarai- Jedi Knight when the temple had been attacked. Although when the order was founded by the previous Saarai-kaar he had granted Zed the title of Saarai'ari or the "Lord of Truth" in common. Effectivly this was the rank of Master he had never felt it was earned and had sought out the finish all the trails. Well Wyt maybe I should briefly go over the different ranks we use. Although the original Jensaarai only had a few titles over time those have evolved and resemble those of the Jedi. The first rank is Tyrosaarai; it means Initiate of the Truth in the old Sith Language, its akin to a Jedi youngling and its given to those who do not have a formal Master yet. Once you have a Master you progress to the title of Massisaarai or Warrior of the Truth. In order to progress to Taralsaarai a Defender of the Truth you need to pass several milestones including creating a lightsaber, crafting your armour and four specific trails. He did not want to get into the specifics of each trail, but much like the Jedi there were four to be taken and each can be done multiple ways are can be interpreted by their Master and the others in the Order. After you do this you can reach the rank of Saarai'ari which is where most Jensaarai will hopefully reach for and attain. It means Lord of Truth, and is similar to the Jedi master rank. As you so eloquently put it the Grandmaster or the Saarai-kaar in the Sith language means Keeper of the Truth. At this Zed sent a data packet to Wyt which would contain much more information on the ranks and everything else he may ask regarding them. Hopefully. He was happy to answer any and all. That is a great question though. I feel that the leader of our Order should be the one who both knows the most about it and is willing to shoulder the responsibility. Regrettably I fit both those categories. If anyone has any other ideas please share them.

Wyt took out his aging data pad and scanned the data he had just been sent. Wyt had studied some languages back on his home world of Glee Anselm, before he became a Jedi, and the fact that the titles came from an old Sith language interested him to no end. He would have to look at their origins more closely when he had some time to study. "So, I'd be an Initiate of the Truth? A Tyrosaarai? And then when I'm assigned a Master I'll be a Massisaarai?" Wyt cocked his head to the side for a moment as he sounded out the word a few more times. "That sounds similar to Massassi Warriors I've read about; Sith creations."
Wyt also wondered what trials Picas would have to sit to get the rank of Defender or Lord of the Truth. It was easy for the Nautolan; he would just start at the bottom and work his way up. Picas was far too old, powerful and knowledgeable to begin as a Tyrosaarai.

He was a fast study that was for sure. Some day Wyt would make a great Jenssarai.
Indeed the word is reminiscent of them because they are a part of the original Sith species. Warriors of great skill but not brutes. You are quite well versed in many different types of knowledge. Your master has done well and I look forward to meeting him.
Thinking for a few seconds he chuckled.
Something I had not considered until just now. People of great skill and training would not want to become a learner again. I wouldn't. Anyone who joins should be granted an equivlant rank of their current status with the more qualifying parts completed as soon as we can.
By this he was thinking of an individuals armour and new lightsaber.

Wyt beamed at the praise of Picas. He was indeed a great master, and he was exited for him to arrive. He tried to shrug the compliment off but his smiling face betrayed his true feelings. "I tend to read a lot. It's one of my favourite pastimes, Picas would say so too."
The Nautolan nodded as Zed continued. "I was just thinking that; my Master has spent decades with the Jedi and studied... other views of the Force. I'm sure he won't be long..."
The Jedi Historian had not told his pupil about the time spent under the guise of the Sith nor of his time possessed by the redeemed Sith Lord Karrus Opin, so Wyt did not realise how accurate his description was.
Just then his commlink on his belt began beeping. Wyt frowned and took it out, keying it to accept the link. His heart skipped a beat when Picas' voice sounded through the device slightly distorted from the distance.
"Wyt? Wyt, can you hear me? It's Picas. I'm heading down from orbit; where are you?"
Wyt excitedly began talking into the device but it crackled and whined in his hands. The connection had been lost.

The spherical Skyblind cruised into the atmosphere, running nearly entirely on powerful repulsorlifts which were quiet for their size, as would befit a spy craft. Picas Dixon was aboard, showing the pilot and former admiral Jensen Lorgo the dirction in which to fly by locking on to the feeling of hope he felt from the Force, as well as sensing Wyt's familiar presence.
They received no queries from any traffic control - ground or air - and proceeded to dock in one of the public berths at the entrance to the hive. Picas was fully expecting the climate to be almost unbearably warm and close, but he was pleasantly surprised as he stepped out into the hive superstructure and felt cool air. He marvelled at the design; the hive itself must have been millennia old.
He drew quite a few looks, draped as he was in the brilliant white historian robes of his profession. A lightsaber hilt dangled from his hip but that did not draw as many frowns as he expected it to - he deduced from this that the creatures within the capital had seen some other lasersword-wielding beings recently. Using his intuition buoyed by the Force, he arrived at a cantina and entered.
Wyt was waiting for him, surrounded by a few friends. Picas waved and Jensen followed sheepishly. "Hello, Wyt. Long time no see. How has your journey been?"
He looked to the others gathered and inclined his head. "Pleasure to meet you all. My name is Picas Dixon, Jedi Historian from Dantooine. I must thank you for taking care of Wyt for me. I've been especially worried. To whom do I owe the pleasure?"

Almost on cue Picas entered the cafe, what a coincidence. The others around the table all acknowledged him, the majority of whom where non humans.
Well Picas its a pleasure, young Wyt here has alluded to you a few times. My name is Zed Demici. Im the one who called everyone here regarding the rebirth of my old order. How is Dantooine this time of year

"Pleasure to meet you, Zed." Picas bowed slightly in the normal Jedi greeting, but he eyed Wyt suspiciously. Eager though he was to become a full-fledged Jedi, his naivety often got the better of him. What was this 'New Order' that Zed had mentioned? Picas used his exceptional patience and soft tone of voice to guide him into the right line of conversation.
"It's not very good, if I'm honest. The First Order has destroyed the old Enclave there. I was at the ruins, searching for survivors or clues as to what had transpired when Wyt contacted me. The wound left in the Force was strong; the memories and pain of those who had perished there linger still. I temporarily drew away from the Force so my spirit could remain intact while I searched. It is much better here, where I can open my senses again freely. I tell you something; it's like losing a limb, not being able to draw on the Force."
He paused before continuing. How to broach the subject? He had an idea. "I have learned many things in my time as a Jedi Historian, and more besides. For example, I have learned a very unique skill from the Fallanassi. Have you heard of them? They're an Order of Force Users, too. What is this New Order you are talking about? Are they related?"

Listening to the ranks of Jensaarai Viktor began to wonder what rank he might have that was equivalent to his previous rank of Jedi Knight. Then an older looking human entered the room and Viktor not wanting to disturb the flow of how things were unfolding decided to remain silent as Wyt's master entered the room and introduced himself. He had also learned the name of the one who was trying to rebuild the Jensaarai. His mind quickly returned to a previous thought of where their temple could be located, as he knew that it needed to be somewhere that those who sought out ways to balance the force and those who don't agree with either sith or Jedi could find and that could remain hidden from any potential threats. Several planets did pop out at him, but he decided to wait and see what the Saarai-kaar decided.

Zed better than anyone in the room knew how much Pica was enjoying having himself connected to the Force again. He had often described the hunger he felt for the force like one felt for their favourite food. Once you smelt even the slightest hint of it you wanted it. Suppressing his hunger he focused on the question posed for him.
I know a little of them, an all female force sect that don't share their secrets very often especially with men. No we are not like them, they are very orthodox with the whole no killing, no violence and everything. They even focused mainly illusions if I understand. No we, me, I am a part of the Jensaarai. We seek the truth. Everyone only wants to share their one sided view of things. The Jedi, Sith, Imperial Knights, Knights of Ren. Everyone is biased. We seek out the knowledge that the others would call forbidden to better understand things. When you dont seek these things you end up with things like the First Order where they force THEIR truth on people. At blaster point if need be.
This was a nice change of pace after speaking to the youthful Wyt. However something made Zed believe that Picas was not sure what was happening here.
I take it your apprentice did not fill you in one what was happening here today?

Picas' interest was raised. He had read about the little-known sect of the Jensaarai but had never had the opportunity to speak to one of their order. Picas had not known much about the Fallanassi when he was visited, so to know that they did not normally deal with men was new information to him. Zed knew much, and Picas could learn from him. That was exciting too.
He nodded his agreement to Zed's description of the two warring sides of the Force. "Indeed, the extremes - Light or Dark - tend to leave death and destruction, or stagnation, in their wake. I may be a Jedi, but I am not part of the current Jedi Order and only want to bring balance to the Force. I believe that the Jedi and Sith must be dismantled to do so. One may be reformed, the other would not go quietly. Such is the task I've set myself."
Picas did notice that Zed's description of the Jensaarai purpose was aligned to his own way of thinking. He would spend time amongst the Jensaarai and form his opinion from experience. Perhaps he was in the wrong stream. He already knew that the Jedi were part of the problem, perhaps the Jensaarai were part of the solution.
"Wyt's message was a little vague - he seemed very excited, and he seems much more at peace here than he normally would be on his Jedi duties. The connection between Dantooine and Geonosis was not one of quality, but I understood the general meaning of his message. He had found someone who needed help, and as a Jedi I am obliged to see if I could do so. Hopefully my knowledge as a Jedi Historian will come in useful. So, tell me, what do you need?"

He is right I do need help of sorts. The order was decimated and anyone who managed to survive drifted into the wind, and we need a place to call our own. It would not do well to retread old grounds. For the first time Zed actually looked at the Jedi Master before him. Originally he had only looked at the mans face. Instead he looked the older man up and down. He was dressed regally and perhaps he would be the salvation that the group had needed. You are a Jedi Historian or am I not remembering the significance of the robes you choose to wear? We need a place to rebuild, somewhere where the First Order cant do to us what they did to the people of Dantooine. A temple. Glancing over at the other late comer he noticed the younger human was in deep thought and had not spoken much. Clearing his throat he tried to get the attention of @tauxeshYou seem deep in thought, care to share any ideas with us? As he spoke a few more late comers entered the cafe. A S'Kytri dressed in a fine red outfit, a mid aged human female and a droid with a crystal set in the center of its chest. All of them gave off some amount of force energy, the most surprising of which was the droid. Unlike the others whom he had chastised for being late he simply nodded in their direction. If people were going to trickle in so be it. |
