The alien took Karrus' hand firmly and shook. "Nice to meet you," it said in a watery basic. "I'm Wyt, Jedi from Glee Anselm."
Karrus smiled and was about to open his mouth to speak to Picas when what he could only describe as a 'ping' bounced off his senses. The others seemed to sense it, too, as their gazes grew distant. Karrus felt Picas reaching out with the Force. "We're not alone," Picas whispered.
Karrus did not sense any threat from the new comer, and his senses were more attuned to danger than Picas'. He reached out with his own senses and invited whoever it was to the archive room by sending a general welcoming feeling into the Force. Picas withdrew himself from the Force, that much Karrus could tell, as a precaution, though the historian did have a smile on his face. "Today is just getting more and more exciting!"

Athos felt the invitation come from within the temple, before making his way in. He just hoped his unexpected arrival had not interrupted anything too important as he made his way towards the source, finding himself drawn ever more to the Archives. Such places were quickly becoming like homes away from home for the young Jedi Knight, but then, when your Master was on the Council of First Knowledge, it was to be expected that you would visit them often. Upon entering the room, Athos gave a bow
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
Sorry fer droppin' in on ya' like this, wasn't sure if anyone'd be home... Tha name's Athos Nathis, Jedi Knight of the Council of First Knowledge...

The three Jedi stood in the centre of the archive room - it was small, with a few access terminals dotted about. It was mostly dominated by workstations to create lightsabers. It was Picas who spoke first. The Jedi Historian had become the Dantooine Jedi de facto leader, although there still wasn't a council, and up until now there had only been Picas and Karrus. Now Wyt would join them too.
"Nothing to apologise for!" Picas replied, offering a hand to the hulking Jedi Knight before him. "My name is Picas Dixon, and I'm the Jedi Historian here on Dantooine. Apologies about the state of the place, but we haven't been here long. Wyt here has just arrived moments before yourself." He said, nodded towards the Nautolan. "The other dashing Jedi is Karrus. I know it seems like a sorry state, but you're looking at what's left of the Dantooine Jedi."
Picas had heard of the Council of First Knowledge, mainly through one of his archive sessions. As chronicler of the Enclave, it was up to him to keep the archives up to date. "How can we help you?"

Having been to a couple of Temple's, Athos could genuinely say that compared to some, Dantooine actually looked like an improvement. Sure, the place looked like it could benefit for a little bit of a good proper cleaning, but otherwise, everything looked intact, which was a bonus. At the very least, the place was actually being used by some Jedi, and had not been turned into some crime lords base of operations, or anything else similarly sinister. It was then that Athos extended on of his hands and shook Picas' in greeting=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=Better you three be usin' it than a Sith, for sure... Perhaps, if yer willin', we can get yer access to the main archive network, eh? But as to tha help I need... I don' spose any of yer number encounter'd this group in Garang? Athos then produced his datapad and brought up the images of the people from the bar incident, using one of his free hands to swipe through the images, finishing on the one of former Master Matango=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=I know about tha cantina, but after tha'... Well I figured I'd ask ye' first...

Karrus' eyebrows raised at the mention of Sith. For all Picas had helped him to see the Light side, a Jedi should always be careful of prejudging. Picas seemed to notice the shift in Karrus' thoughts, for he quickly moved on. "You are more than welcome to use whatever resources we have here. I hope it won't be too much of a disappointment, but unfortunately the archives here are isolated and out of date. I'm busy updating them."
The three Dantooine Jedi eyed the image closely. It was pointless for Wyt to do so, as he had just arrived, but he was interested anyway. Picas shook his head in admittance that he didn't recognise any being in the picture. Karrus, on the other hand, stroked his bearded chin in thought. "I don't recognise them fully," he began, reaching out with the Force and allowing it to guide his answer. "However, I think I was in Garang when this happened - looking for other Jedi to join us. I think they might be offworld now, though. Our archives do allow security footage to be reviewed. Perhaps you would like to sift through the spaceport ones? See which berth, if any, they left in and get the flight records?"

When Karrus had raised his eyebrow, Athos wondered if perhaps his unusual accent had perhaps caused some confusion about what he meant by his comment, but that was neither here nor there now as the conversation progressed. He hadn't expected the group to still be on Dantooine, but at the very least, his trip here wasn't wasted, since the Temple's archives could grant him access to the spaceport security systems, which was a bonus since he wouldn't have to try explain his situation again to spaceport security
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
Knowin' what ship they 'ave would be quite helpful... Where shall I set up?
Since this was their home, Athos waited for one of them to show him to a terminal and grant him the access he required

It was Picas who pointed to the terminal to Athos' left, in the corner of the room. "We're the only Jedi here, so you may use any that are currently unoccupied!" Which, of course, meant any. "But I'll log you onto this one."
The historian was quick in entering his details, and presented the recordings from Garang on the screen. "Take as much time as you need. If your stay is longer than you originally thought it would be, you're also welcome to use the Jedi quarters. You can find those by heading out of here, through the audience chamber, straight on by the courtyard tree, and turning left. The quarters are on your right."
The Dantooine Jedi remained in the archives, for they had some things to discuss, and would not be very good hosts if they abandoned their guest. Karrus remained close to Athos. "Why are you looking for them?" He asked, gesturing towards his datapad.

Athos nodded in thanks, before taking a seat once Picas had logged in, before he connected his datapad in. Since he already knew the time and date of the bar attack, he used that information to narrow down the rough time frame in which he would need to look at the starport feeds. With that sorted, he entered the facial scans from the group at the bar and started the software off on scanning through the hours of footage that it would need to. He then turned half way around in his seat to face Karrus
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
It's a bit complicated, but this man 'ere, he killed a few people... And not just any normal killings either... From wha' I've seen, man's a force user like us. Seem's simple 'nough, but that is where ye' be wrong. Not sure if any of you've heard of Adieumus Matango, but he was a Master on the High Council, before his death... But this man, bears a strikin' resemblence to him... Meanin' we might have a rouge Jedi running about... or well, another one anyway...

None of the Jedi had heard of the name, but did not want to go into their deaths either. Wyt shrugged. "I've been on Glee Anselm too long," he shouted over. "Stayed out of galactic affairs."
Picas and Karrus looked at each other. "We've been... away," Karrus offered. Picas nodded in agreement. "However, this might just be the kind of opportunity we've been looking for!"
Even Picas frowned, not following his fellow Jedi's thought trail. "How do you mean?"
"The whole point of recreating the Dantooine Jedi was to help bring balance to the Force. We don't know what that balance might look like, yet, but surely stopping this Force-wielding murderer would help?"
Wyt did not comment. He had not been there long enough to do so. Picas mulled this idea over in his head. "I'm cautious, Karrus. Using our abilities for violence, even if it is to stop more violence, might make balance even more elusive. Our guest must be looking for this man - " Picas turned to Athos, "are you planning on killing him?"

It wasn't overly surprising that they had not heard of a lot of things that had transpired, but Athos knew it was his Master's hope that with the new archive interconnection, all Jedi would have access to what ever information that they required. Knowledge was a fundamental concept of the Jedi Code, and to deny one's fellow Jedi of any knowledge based on unfounded fears was staggering. Regardless, once this was over, the Dantooine Jedi would soon have access to all the knowledge they could ever hope for
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
It is no' my place ta decide if a man should live or die. Tha' is entirely up to him, when he is found. My job is merely ta investigate and find out wha' I can....
Athos then turned to his datapad as it pinged, noting that it had tracked the group from the bar to a hangar bay at the Garang spaceport. He noted down the information of the ship's make based on it's looks, as well as the information the spaceport records had on it, before turning back to Picas and his fellow Jedi
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
If ya hunt him, try ta learn all that ya can. Kill him only if ya have ta... Right, well, I have all I need, so I best be off. Farewell...

Picas smiled. "Spoken like a true Jedi. I think it's best if we let the Force guide us on this one, Karrus, before we act." Picas approached Athos and held out his hand. "It's been a pleasure meeting you. Please, spread the word. The Dantooine Jedi Enclave is once again in use."
Karrus looked disappointed. He was a man of action, not contemplation. It was something he'd have to get used to, if their vision for the Jedi was to come to pass. He also offered a hand to Athos. "Good luck, friend."
Wyt silently did the same, with a large grin on his face.

Athos gave a nod and shook each of the Jedi's hands in turn, offering them all a grin once it was over
=Jedi Knight Athos Nathis=
I'll be sure to spread tha word. I imagine Master Rawkill will be eager to meet ya all...
Athos then took his leave of the fledgling Dantooine Jedi Order and headed outside, before mounting the speederbike again and heading back to Garang

Picas and Karrus looked at eachother, each seeing in the other's eyes the hope that the large, four-armed Jedi Knight had said. "We might be getting more Jedi after all," Karrus said. Picas extended a hand to Wyt, who looked as if he were daydreaming.
"Indeed."

Wyt was shown around the enclave, and largely left to his own devices. Picas meditated much, trying to find deeper meaning in the Force and find some direction. They had regular discussions and kept an ear out for trouble.

Activity was beginning on Dantooine, and the ripples in the Force were present to those sensitive enough to feel them. The three Jedi in the Enclave, however, were busy with their own tasks to notice. Picas was updating the archives on his new ability to calm aggressive animals. Wyt was making himself at home and tending to his ship, which Karrus had yet to see. Karrus was trying to practise his illusions which he learned from the Fallanasi Ilana, and sweat was pouring from his brow in effort.

Karrus was sweating. He had yet to find the peace and calm that always followed Picas around, and his previous Sith life still left him prone to fits of anger through frustration. He felt himself approaching that now as his constant application of the methods taught in the netherworld failed to yield results. He was powerful in the Force, he had resurrected himself for kriff's sake. A simple illusion should be easy enough. But no. The ability still illuded him.
He took a deep breath, and found it helped slightly. He thought back to the actual lessions by Ilana. He had to tap into the White Current, which was basically another word for the Force, and 'nudge' it in the direction he needed while not stemming its flow, and use its passing to complete the task he required. It was a different philosophy to his use of the Force, which had always been him bending it to his will. He closed his eyes and used his senses to feel the Force - or the White Current - around him. He instinctively found its flow, and siphoned a tributary to his outstretched hands, while making sure that the tributary rejoined the main 'river'. He the shaped the White Current into the image he saw in his mind, then he opened his eyes.
Floating just above his hands was his old lightsaber, albeit the dimensions were slightly off, but he would correct that with practise. Karrus had a huge smile on his face. He had finally cast an illusion while alive.

Picas was just finishing updating their isolated archives on Ilana, the Fallanasi who had visited he and Karrus in the netherworld. He wished he could see her now. She would make a fine addition to their growing Jedi. Wyt fit in well, though it had taken him a while. Picas opened up a new archive file and began writing about the Nautolan. They had not seen him much, he was a mechanic and had found joy in tinkering with his ship. The ship that Picas used to get back. Picas left him to it, having no mechanical ability of his own.

Picas saw the incoming transmission on his archive terminal, thought it odd that someone would not contact the Garang spaceport directly, and toggled it to play on over his speakers. He had to replay it, twice. Hardly believing his luck - no, there was no such thing as luck. Only the Force - he sent a quick message to Garang informing them that the Enclave would welcome the guest, and then opened a channel. His voice was shaking.

The gray and blue Belbullab-22 starfighter of Jedi Master Rael Starfall descends through the atmosphere and approaches the landing platforms of the Jedi Enclave. Within moments, the fighter touches down on Platform 3. The cockpit hatch slides open, though it first splits in two down the middle as part of the modifications done by Master Starfall; the ship is modified with an astromech mounting socket just forward of the cockpit, so the hatch must split to move around the droid. It wasn't the simplest mod, but it was certainly easier than replacing decapitated droids on the regular.
Master Starfall exits the fighter and takes a moment to breathe in the fresh air of his beloved Dantooine. His famous Nautolan smile spreads across his face as he takes in the scenic beauty of the planet and the ancient Jedi Enclave.
"It's good to be home. Now, where is Picas?"
Starfall reaches out with the Force and immediately senses the familiar presence of his former Padawan Learner. Young Picas is nearby and approaching quickly, his excitement palpable. Starfall can't help but smile again. Picas never was particularly good at hiding his feelings. But, in this case, it's a refreshing trait that Starfall has missed.

Master Starfall patiently inspects the exterior of his ship --which he's dubbed Tranquility-- while he awaits the arrival of his former Padawan. The old fighter has seen quite a bit of action over its nearly decade-long service to Starfall, but it still runs to perfection. It could use a new paint job, though...
"The old girl could use a paintjob, T4."
::beep, boop::
"You could use a few touchups yourself, my little droid companion."
::click, click, beep::
"Ok, ok, calm down. I was merely poking fun. You're right; it makes you look distinguished."
Starfall chuckled to himself as he continued to inspect the hull of his fighter for any signs of wear or damage beyond simple cosmetic ones.
