Shadows of Bankor

This was the place, the cave at the bottom of the falls. The *perfect* spot to try her hand at meditating again. She *really* had let that part of her training and upbringing atrophy, as shown by the last time she tried it. But here, where the Force was strong... here she would recommit herself to that peace and serenity, and let the Force speak to her again.

So she sat down in a meditative position, closed her eyes, and once more emptied her mind of all thoughts. Something that was unsurprisingly pretty easy for her...


Discipline + Force, Hard, to meditate. Vergence.: 2eP+1eA+3eD+1eF 1 threat, 1 Triumph, 1 Dark Side


Triumph to ??? Lightside vergence pip to turn it into a success, if that works? If neccesary flip a destiny?

She feels her surroundings shift as she feels the Force flow through her. She is elsewhere in time, and she can see the Inquisitor, the male holding a young pantoran woman, the adopted daughter of Oraka. Oraka stands before him and there is fire everywhere.

She can see on a lower platform others engaged with the 13th Sister in battle.

She tried to peer deeper into the vision, to get a sense of where it's taking place; to take note of any details that might help change the future... if this is indeed a vision of the future.

The Inquisitor casually tossed the girl aside and she started to fall and Oraka reached out with the Force to save her and move her to safety but the Inquisitor took this moment of distraction to strike…

It looks like the Hypermatter Foundry before the vision fades.

Well that wasn't good. That wasn't good at all. She would have to bring it up to the others, that much was clear. If only she knew what the events leading up to it had been...

"I do not think I have seen you frowning like that before."

Qareme was sat nearby, her staff in front of her as she worked on her crystal. Sitting out in the open like this was calming and that seemed to help.

D4 modding crystal for +1 damage. Own saber so -2 dif (average). Boost from previous roll: 2eA+1eB+1eF+2eD 1 success, 1 advantage, 1 Dark Side

Vergence light side to give adv/cancel dark side

"I..." wait, why was Qareme here?

Oh, right, she'd offered to let her use her toolkit before she'd want to use it herself later.

"...I uh... I need to process this. But it wasn't good."

"Not good visions are becoming more commonplace than I would like. I do not know how my master could stand her visions if they were anything like what we are seeing, and we are able to move around after these ones."

Qareme carefully inserted the crystal back into her saber.

"If you would prefer to wait until others arrive to speak of it I understand, however I can listen if you wish to voice your thoughts."

"Uhm, it's about the future, and Master Hin's family. I hope we can change that future," she said, staring at one of the cave's walls. "At the very least maybe we can avoid going to the Hypermatter Foundry for... ever."

"I see. That should wait for the others then" Qareme nodded, a concerned look on her face "I have never visited the Hypermatter Foundry, and I already considered it one of the least likely places to visit. However, if it came up in your vision, I would doubt that we can avoid it."

"It's where we did our distraction action, during the prison break. It's not a very nice place, and I may have broken some of the scenery."

"Then you have an advantage. Consider what you saw about the place in your vision, and combined with having been there you may be able to shift the situation to your advantage. Although if the vision included Master Hin and his family, then we will at least stand with him" Qareme closed her eyes , lowering her head.

"Hmmm," Verse seemed a little uncertain that it would be that simple... which of course was an interesting reversal of roles. "We will see what Master Hin says of all this, I suppose."

"We will keep preparing. As Master Hin is preparing also I am sure. As are the others and the young one. I would hope we can keep her out of any conflict with the Inquisitors though" Qareme said thoughtfully as she checked over her staff again.

"I... yes, I hope so too."

The uncertainty in her voice wasn't hard to pick up on.

"Ah, uh, I feel like I should work so much more on my saber than I have the parts for," she said, changing the subject.

There was a nod at that.

"I have been here four years. At no point during that did I consider that I would need more credits than the basic amount to survive on. I am uncertain as to how to acquire more, and it feels wrong also to try. One should not get too attached to material things after all."

"We could try robbing a bank," she said, in her usual innocently oblivious voice.

While many jokes went over Qaremes head, that one she got.

"Your flips would give you away on camera and the security system would confuse you. I suspect you might fare better asking the Inquisitors to fund you."

"Do you think they would?" It seemed like a serious question.

"Yes. In return for your servitude, a turn to the Dark Side and a betrayal of all your friends" Qareme replied, looking directly at Verse as she spoke.

"But then I could gold-plate my lightsaber hilt, right? It's a tough choice..."

"That sounds like a very awkward saber to use. Gold does not make for a good material" Qaeme shook her head "clearly you have not thought this through."

"Sometimes being stylish requires sacrifices," she said, "Like, think about it, why do these inquisitors all seem to wear those masks? Can't really do any favors for their peripheral vision."

"To strip them of their identity. Much the same as any military force, from what little I understand. The sister would only go by the name Sister 13, as it was given to her, from what I was able to get from her during my imprisonment" Qareme frowned slightly "I believe I may be incorrect on my previous comment. You are too individual to suit them."
