Part Two

They then split up, some going straight into town to look around, the others going to search for info. Those in going back to the Space port for info, found Treasure Ship row, a market street, vibrant with all senses. They then found the information they were looking for, with some hesitation, they then returned to the city centre, to meet up in time for the meeting with the Jedi Knight to ask for work. The Jedi saw them, and told them that he knew more than they thought he would, as well as asking them pertinent questions. He then gave them some very favorable deals, in light of their mission and the Academy. He helped them sell their ship, and gave them good short jobs. Lastly he gave them all some much needed training. Then just as they were finishing their training, a messanger came in and it turned out that Spira wanted to see them again. She told them that her master had told her to get them to go to him, as soon as possible.
They decided to wait until after they had finished their jobs. (?) (2 days work at 500c per day). When they did go they saw that Spira didn’t fly her own ship, something unusual for those owning their own ship. The master was a dark skinned human, named Asda Noven, small but quite young (for a jedi master). He explained that whilst he couldn’t quite explain he mentioned that he had called them there, because the force asked it of him, and he saw that the were destined, all apart from Simeon, whos path he saw as parting from the rest, and staying with him. Strangely neither Simeon nor the rest of the party found this objectionable or unexpected, such was the force. Asda then trained them all some more, more importantly he taught some of them how to teach force skills to the others. They were taken back to Corellia. Once they had returned the Jedi Knight had good news for them, he had found them a good ship.

They then took a look at their new craft, tried to come up with a name for it, and named it "The Last Chance". They then decided that it needed upgrading and so upgraded the shields, maneuverability, and guns of their ship.
After this was complete they left for coruscant, a 2 day journey, during which time, they did some knowledge sharing. When they arrived, they found coruscant to be busy, and very complicated. However, once Elana saw that John was struggling with the paperwork, she decided to help him out, suddenly she was struck by a flash back, she had been on Coruscant before, and she had dealt with this paperwork before, since she had been a clerk in the space authority only 4 years previous to her memory loss, when she found herself on the jedi academy. Rolling up her sleeves she was soon crossing out sections and referring other sections to previous documents. Within minutes the form was completed, and they had a bargain port payment for 4 weeks, refundable up until the beginning of the third week, up to the value used. With that over with, they all left to check out the city and what was happening in the capital of the galaxy. John and Ged went off to find out information in a cybercafe and the library respectively. Jarad and Galen went amongst the people to see what they thought of the current government, and its future. Elana went straight to the Administration building.
John had much success, almost tapping straight into some of the most prudent areas, seeking out the best information. Ged however did not have as much luck, it took him a good long while to figure out the many antiqated systems involved, especially when he wasn’t computer minded, when he did he couldn’t configure his search to give him any really useful information. Jarad and Galen found out that the populous wanted change, and action, and were ready for it, and there was much discontent with the republic ways. Elana requested a meeting with Senator Palpatine, but was stopped by an insistant receptionist, who sent Elana’s message up to his own receptionist. She also tried to send a telepathic message to the Senator, but did not receive a reply.

As soon as they remembered that they had comlinks that they could use to contact each other, they quickly used them to get themselves coordinated. John joined Ged at the library, and searched for infomation about the jedi knight, which had apparently gone missing. Elana returned to the ship to await her reply by comlink. Jarad and Galen returned to the ship to find out what the others had found out. John and Ged, returned to the ship after finding out their information. Elana did get a response, it was to meet a Councillor Jailon Saimorr, at 4:00pm at the Administration Center, the next day. The others however decided that to get what they needed: some information, was to go into the administration building and get it. So Eland, Jarad, John and Galen went off back towards the city centre. Ged decided to stay behind and guard the ship, or wash his hair, or watch a holovid, anything but go on some damn fool idealistic crusade, which was going to get them all killed. Besides they needed him to stay behind to free the others when they got captured.
As soon as they arrived at the underground station Galen decided that he was sick of coughing up cash for transport costs, he was going to walk in as it was a nice night.
Once Elana, Jarad, and John had arrived at the administration square, the decided that since it was still quite busy, they didn’t need to sneak about just yet. They did however decide on taking a different approach to the front door, so they scoped out a side entrance, which turned out to be a cargo warehouse, and delivery entrance. Creeping up to the entrance they hid behind some crates to scope out the entrance. Jarad, spotted that the boxes might be big enough to hide in (although it wasn’t his idea). They all jump inside the boxes and wait. Meanwhile Galen walks calmly and cooly right up to the front door, to the reception, waving his rolled up piece of paper. (paper: being a thin organic material used for writing, a very good substitute for a datapad, when such technology is unavailable, also because it is unaffected by any radiation, of levels which would usually affect modern technology, although recognised by most people, it is not commonly used today), Galen asks to see Bail Organa, and has to wait twenty minutes since he is in a meeting, as is his receptionist, rendering Organas office unavailable (except for a useless droid programmed with a message). Once he did get up to the office, the receptionist, briefly questioned him, and found out his needs, and made him an appointment with one Senator Organa’s councillors, (no name was mentioned since they all had appointments for which the duration was unknown, so whomever turned out to be free would see him) at 5:30pm the following day. After 2 hours the others still waiting in their boxes, got moved, and then put down again. It was Jarad that moved first, once he found out that the coast was clear, he quickly got the others out. They then proceded to seach around the crates, and quickly spotted some security cameras, Jarad being ultra paranoid, instantly thought of ways to disable the cameras without anyone noticing, all of them failed of course, and eventually Elana got bored and did a commando roll across the cameras line of site. Having not been completely blasted to pieces, she stood up and beamed, the others followed across shortly afterwards. Jarad leading the way promptly got them all lost, and found the exit, at which point, John being thoroughly bored of the failure of it all, walked right out and started questioning the workers, which they had so carefully tried to avoid, 2 hours ago. Jarad, tried to save John from having a punch up with one of the workers, by claiming the whole thing a security operation. He failed to mention this to Elana, sat and watched this from her hiding place. She did however leave shortly. Later they all returned to the ship, and went to bed since the evening had been a lack of success for all concerned.
