Jek stood at the back of where all the recruits were mediating, taking deep breaths to keep calm and not resist reaching out through the Force to feel where Aeris was. “We’re fine. Doing very well despite things.” He told him, folding his hands behind his back as he continued to walk around to keep an eye on the large number of recruits learning to meditate. He wondered, how it was going to work with their continued gathering of Force Sensitives and these different classes that they were doing, they would all end up in varying levels of skill. They needed a way to match them up and have others advance so they didn’t end up so unmatched when they got to wherever it was that they were going. For now, he would focus on building their connections with the Force and what they could do from there.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>Jek had his eyes closed as they were in the shuttle heading down to one of the various planets. The battlecruiser was getting very full, they needed to stop soon or risk running out of space in the cruiser. He was trying to meditate to find out what they were meant to do from the Force, but everything was so vague. He let out a heavy breath as they arrived on the planet and set out to find possibly their last recruits. The soldiers were getting used to him and Jax giving orders so the first thing he did as they stepped onto the landing platform was to order one to go and get them a speeder as he stepped off to the side to wait for the others.<br/><br/>Jek turned to see that the girls were off to the side on their own talking. He could feel how nervous and scared An-Lok was from the moment they woke that morning, but she was unusually quiet. He turned towards Jax and walked over to him as he folded his arms. “So, what’s going on? Did something happen between you two?” he decided to ask, watching the girls. “It’s hard not to feel her nervousness, and that underlying fear.” He added, tilting his head and watching as he waited to know if he was needed.<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>An-Lok hesitated as they arrived on the floor for their quarters. After she had been told that there was a safe area to meditate in on Aeris ship, it was the better option. She hit the button to close the door and pushed the button to take them down to the hanger. “I think your ship sounds better.” She told her, going with her back down to hanger and heading towards the locked bay that held the ship. If she could mediate that deeply again, she was going to take the best option available to her and not harming herself sounded far too appealing to pass up.<br/><br/>*<br/><br/>An-Lok was on edge as they boarded the shuttle and went down to the planet. Some time that morning, she had come to the realization that she was late. They had gone to several planets, had gotten several Force Sensitives and were well above the board. She and Jax had not been shy about sharing affections, especially if they were in their quarters alone. When she came to the conclusion that she was late, she had tried to recall if she took her pill every day like she was supposed to, but couldn’t even remember bringing it with her in her haste to get off of Korriban. She wanted to talk to Aeris, to find out if the other woman was in the same situation. She tried to hide her nerves but knew it was would be difficult.<br/><br/>As soon as they were planet side and leaving the shuttle, her hand darted out to grasp Aeris’ arm. “I need to talk to you.” She told her, dragging her along and leading her off to the side away from Jek and Jax. She led her way off to the side away from potentially prying ears. Taking a deep breath, she called up any left-over courage and looked into her eyes. “I um, I was wondering if you were late? You know, womanly time… I just noticed I was late and then I started to realize that I’ve been a little more exhausted lately and for last few days I can’t got into the mess hall because the smells are starting to become too much… I’m scared.” She told her in a rush of words after asking her question. Hints of tears shone in her eyes though none spilled over.<br/><br/>An-Lok was scared if she was alone, she wasn’t prepared and didn’t believe that she was at all ready for such a thing. She wasn’t even sure how Jax would react if she told him. Were they supposed to keep it? What were they supposed to do when they lived such an active life style? What if it didn’t make it? She stared back at the other woman, close to hyperventilating.
