Thal-ion nodded in agreement with her going to find the codes to the station.  They would need them in order to get aboard without triggering any dangerous defenses which the station might have...or any alarms which might alert Dar'ia of their arrival.  After she left, Thal-ion gave the sleeping officer another glance before going off to the cockpit.  It was clear the man would be out of it for a while, and not likely to cause any trouble.  Once in the co-pilot's chair; Thal-ion began opening up the comm system to begin his transmission to the Solo twins.<br/><br/>"This is Thal-ion Serr of the<span style="font-style: italic">Emerald Dawn</span>transmitting an emergency broadcast:  Code - 75AA1!  Immediate assistance required.  Please respond," he began.<br/><br/>A moment later, there was a crackling from the comm system, and then the voice of Jania Solo came through.  "Thal-ion, this is Jania.  What is your status and situation?"<br/><br/>"We have uncovered evidence of a Dark Force wielder having infiltrated a secret Alliance station based out here on the edge of Wild Space.  It appears she has influenced the personnel aboard the station in order to create a temporal storm," the young Sentinel responded, but then static came from the comm system.  He blinked at it in confusion, and began an attempt to readjust the frequency and carrier output.  "Jania?" he asked.  "You still there?"  Yet, the comm system refused to give anything else other the static.  He wondered what could suddenly be interfering with their ability to communicate.  Not understanding why he couldn't get through to the female Solo twin; Thal-ion began checking the sensors.  The storm was putting out new waves of energy beyond its boundary.  Such energy output was even coming into contact with the asteroid Alethea had hidden them on.  There would be no further transmissions.<br/><br/>They had only themselves now...and the Force.<br/><br/>The young Jedi Sentinel took a deep calming breath.  Time was running out.  Whatever Dar'ia was doing on that station; she had done something to the storm.  The entire area was now affected on some level.  He did not sense any new waves of temporal visions, but he was sure that would change the closer they got to the station.  How Dar'ia was able to hold off the effects was a mystery; for she was closer to the temporal wound she had created.  He could only hope Jania would soon be on her way with her squadron and her twin brother.  Even if they left right then...it would be too late.  He knew it...he suspected Alethea knew it as well.  There wasn't much else to do except get the ship ready.  So, he began checking the ship's systems over, and warming up her engines.  Once Alethea was done...they would have no choice...none at all.  They would have to go back to the station, and stop Dar'ia if they could.  Taking the officer back with them seemed pointless.  There was nothing more he could do to help them.  With Jania and Jacen on the way; he thought about simply leaving the man behind adrift in his small shuttle for them to find...along with the logs of the<span style="font-style: italic">Emerald Dawn</span>.  He would discuss that with Alethea on her return.<br/><br/>He decided now was as good as time as any to meditate on the trials to come, and thus closed his eyes...letting the Force flow through him...waiting for Alethea to return.
