				It had been nearly an entire month since The Jedi Council had tasked Markus with finding that forgotten crystal, and only now was he truly beginning the journey. He still didn't understand why they wouldn't want him to go alone, or perhaps with another knight. No, they wanted him to choose an apprentice instead; a padawan to take on this dangerous task alongside him. It hadn't been what he wanted, he didn't feel he was old enough for the duty. While extremely potent in both the force and saber skills, he had little to no experience as a mentor. He wouldn't refuse a task from his master though, and the man had crossed over from the other side just to give it to him. <br><br>It was with these thoughts in mind that Markus let ship descend down to Almasor, the planet where his new apprentice would be found. He guided the ship straight toward the Academy she was stationed in, willing the communicator to link with theirs. <strong>"I am Jedi Knight Markus Xorian. The Council should have already explained my arrival."</strong> He announced, before drifting into the bay that was already opening for him. <strong>"Welcome Knight Xorian. Your charge is already being prepared for the meeting."</strong> He nodded at those words, and simply glided into the dock where the securing prongs latched on to hold his ship in place. <br><br>Markus popped the cockpit then, and stepped nimbly from it's confines as a beep resounded behind him. <strong>"I'll be back soon, RW. Help perform matience, then you'll get to meet the padawan."</strong> He told the astromech, who's response came in a series of faster beeps. <strong>"Stubborn droid."</strong> He laughed, continuing inside as another knight greeted him. <strong>"Welcome. Your prospective apprentice should be ready. This way."</strong> The woman said, and he couldn't help but drift his eyes over her for a brief second. <strong>"Lead on."</strong><br><br>Markus didn't like the thought he had for his response, after all he leading gave him quite the view. Still he pushed it from his mind, following her along as she guided him through the spanning halls. Inside various rooms he could seen the younglings being prepared for the inevitable, a situation he was sorry to say he had reported. The march of the sith had taken it's toll on him already; their first encounter is where he lost his master. Truthfully the old man was just one of many friends he lost in that skirmish; surviving it was probably chief among the reasons he was being sent on this crusade. <br><br>Markus kept moving with the Lady Jedi, though; and soon they arrived at a room. <strong>"Head in, she should be inside shortly. It's good to speak with them at length first."</strong> She assured him, and he just gave her a soft nod. <strong>"I'll keep it in mind."</strong> He finally responded, then walked forward as he willed the doors open for him. It was a modest chamber, like most in the order. A couple chairs and a table, along with bare floors and plain looking walls meant to promote peace and tranquility. He had never found them that appealing to meditate around, however. <br><br>With nothing else to do, Markus just took a seat to wait. He was surprised at how tense he felt, like something was pulling at him. Indeed he could feel the force directing him, and that pull had to be her. She was getting closer, and the closer she got, the more his slight tension rose. He just tried to calm it, however; relaxing as he took wonder to what path she followed thus far. It was kinda pathetic that he hadn't done his homework on the girl first; but then again he was in a hurry. Trying to relax, he ran his fingers through his medium length brown locks, and stared toward the mirror for a moment.<br><br>Markus's chiseled face was still handsome despite the ware from travel and battle. Having just reached age twenty four, he was still young among the order. His blue eyes held both the spark of youth, and the seasonings of a veteran from the rift. His body toned from saber practice. A well built, muscular frame; though lacking the bulk some knight's went for. Speed and power as one, just as his master had taught. As a Jedi Councilor it wasn't hard to balance the two, but he had his good looks to thank for most of his diplomatic work. Perhaps the chief reason the council dealt with his small quirks.

				Alainia was looking out over the academy from atop the high spire, finding the sky above to be far more relaxing than any sterilized sitting room the masters conjured up to make it easier for the initiates to meditate in. In the field none of them would have that kind of quiet, the distractions would vary, and this view was full of distractions. The city not far away was noisy, and the smells that drifted on the wind allowed her to prepare herself for the wars ahead. The news of the Sith rising was spreading fast, even she had been skeptical at first, but the council had sent word now.<br><br>Apparently they had also sent word that she had been chosen to be a newly knighted Jedi's Padawan, though she was fairly certain she had only ever seen the man once or twice, and was absolutely certain she'd never spoken with him. It was then she heard a voice behind her, and she had to turn around to hear the youngling over the wind. She looked at him for a moment, but right before he repeated himself she went to reply. <strong>"Understood!"</strong> The youngling jumped, she was well known for her ability to see into others minds as well as seeing into the future, but to see the real thing could sometimes make the others jumpy. <br><br>She stood from her cross-legged stance, and jumped from the roof, catching herself halfway down on her window she'd left open for this. She had figured he'd be coming today, and she also knew if he rejected her she probably wouldn't get another chance to become a Padawan. Alainia had already ostracized most of the masters at the academy here, and they in turn spread the word of her "attitude" to other knights and masters that came looking to take on apprentices.<br><br>She grabbed her things, and then looked at herself in the mirror. She hadn't bothered keeping her hair like the other initiates kept theirs in some time now, and even after repeated punishments for not maintaining her appearance she didn't care. Some called her apathetic, others called her narcissistic, but Alainia knew it didn't matter, well not at least until this Markus had taken an interest in her. Her slightly curly blond locks were always hard to tame, and they were barely contained in a ponytail that stretched down her back. Her pale skin seemed to accentuate her delicate features, which she had already learned to use to her advantage, they at least worked on most of the other students. <br><br>After a few moments she went to grab her small pack, but then turned sharply and loosened her robe a little to show her cleavage a little better. With a seductive smirk she bit her lip before turning for the door, which seemed to open without even a thought from her. It was only moments later that she arrived at the door, and down the hallway she seen a woman glaring at her. <em>One of the Mistresses; disproving of my behavior once again! Like she has any room to talk, as a little girl I could wield the force better than she can on her best days.</em> The bitter thought came to her, before she paused to clear her mind, however her unique gifts with the force betrayed her this time as the door went flying open with a somewhat forced shriek, her lose of control obviously not the best way to make a good impression.<br><br>Alainia's cheeks flushed pink as her eyes drifted up to look over the veteran before her, and a somewhat mischievous smile crossed her lips. She held her thoughts in check, making sure to keep them clear so he'd have more difficultly getting a read on her, and her smile only got wider. This kind of behavior was of course among the reasons she wasn't recommended by the masters at the academy, but this Knight seemed to think she was worth a shot, and she knew she wouldn't disappoint. <br><br><strong>"My name is Alainia Telloch, and it's my pleasure to meet you; <em>Master</em>!"</strong> Almost all her words were coated with honey, at this point she'd do almost anything to get out of the academy, but the word master was all but a purr flying from her lips. It was only after she said it that she realized that her over sensitivity to the force had brought with that word power, power to bend men's mind to her will. She was sure he would resist, but she knew it wasn't subtle enough for him to not notice. <br><br><em>Concentrate Alainia, you know you can control it. Don't let frustration cloud your mind!</em> She thought to herself, the echoed words of her first teacher who'd passed away many years ago. Perhaps it was due to his death, and the fact that none of the "masters" here had even close to her innate talents, but he had been able to relate with her. The problems her family had before she came here, they had all been her fault because she couldn't control her abilities. Those thoughts caused Alainia to stiffen slightly, and so she focused to see if Markus had replied to her....

				Markus was in his own thoughts as he still stared into the mirror. He wasn't looking at himself anymore, though; just drifting in the reflection. Even in these times they were said to give glimpses of the soul, yet he wasn't seeing anything. That moment of concentration was broken when he felt a surge in the air around him, and his eyes immediately drew up. He watched her as she walked in, his eyes starting at her booted ankles and running up till they were caught at her openly displayed cleavage. They lingered there for a mere moment, before he pulled his eyes upwards to look into hers. <br><br>Those eyes caught Markus equally, purple gems that just made sure he could feel the latent power within. The force was strong in her, strongest in her age group that he'd ever felt. Though her words caught him off guard. She seemed overly eager to see him, and the purr that almost made him smile wide caused him to take a double take of her. The word didn't even break through his mind, but it was strong; and he didn't know if she even realized she'd used it. <strong>"The pleasure's all mine, Alainia. You've grown so much since we last seen each other."</strong> He said, though his mind wasn't on how much she'd grown in height.<br><br>Markus still remained composed, though. Phrases like that were just part of who he was, polite words that conveyed the message of how he really felt. Important in diplomacy, hell even useful in times of war. <strong>"Let me have a look at you. Seems your use of the force has come a long way."</strong> He said, standing from the chair as he looked her over. This time he wasn't undressing her with eyes, well maybe there was a bit of that, but more just taking a gauge of her overall training. It didn't seem she had taken to any one path yet; instead her talents were mixed, like she'd had just had bits of training to keep discipline and the rest she'd just picked up from those who tried. <br><br>To Markus it was remarkable she'd come so far like that, but disturbing that her mentors didn't take more interest in such a promising learner. Perhaps there was something more to it, something keeping other masters from taking her on. After all, he hadn't asked around any to really know. <strong>"Top form. Very good, and still with more spirit then you can really handle."</strong> He remarked with a smirk. So much like him at that age; well before he was sent with Master Zexarious to the outer rim anyhow. A place he had spent nearly half of his life in. He tried to push that out though; they needed to talk after all.<br><br><strong>"Well you came highly recommended. Good things I've heard about you; even if others haven't."</strong> Markus assured her with a charming smile. His eyes still drifted a bit, but he mainly kept to those odd purple eyes of hers. It was strange to him; almost as if he had seen them before somewhere. A different life perhaps, but then again they had seen each other before. Just never really met, or introduced themselves. <strong>"I'm sure you have some questions and want to speak before we leave though. So?"</strong> He questioned; keeping a lighthearted half smile on his lips.

				Alainia was still in her own thoughts even as he smiled at her, and her purple eyes met with his deep blues. It was only for a second, and then she noticed him looking her over more thoroughly. Alainia hadn't noticed him undress her, she had been too busy in her own thoughts and slight embarrassing over the loss of control over her abilities, but she could be certain that her well displayed cleavage had gotten at least some of his attention.<br><br>She smirked even more, and the blush left her cheeks when he mentioned how much she had grown. She knew damn well that he didn't mean her height or girth, but he was slick. As he told her to let him have a look at her, she did a slow spin as if she was some sort of model on display, and then faced him once more to place a hand upon her hip and then tilted her head at him. She did her best not to roll her eyes at the comment about her spirit, she guessed it was a compliment, but she was ready to get going.<br><br>She was about to open her mouth about that, still glad he hadn't rebuked her for the mind trick she had inadvertently played upon him, and wondering if it had somehow worked on one such as him. Before she had a chance to request that they leave as soon as they were ready, he made a comment that had her reeling. <em>Who would recommend me?!</em> She thought, not with sarcasm, but she'd like to know so she could thank them. <br><br>As he finished trying to prolong the conversation she didn't want to have until his comment of her being highly recommended, she blinked in confusion. <strong>"You like hearing your own voice."</strong> It wasn't a question, even if it had been phrased like one, but her smile never left her features. She walked up to him, far to close for most peoples comfort; she was sure. Looking up into his eyes, she once again titled her head, and thought about just reaching up and kissing the young knight, but her curiosity had been piqued. <br><br><strong>"Just one question, then we can go."</strong> She said more calmly than before, but her words were still laced with a husk. <strong>"Who: in this entire galaxy; would recommend ME?"</strong> The husk was still there, but now sarcasm dripped over that pretty lacing like a venom that could destroy the greatest beauty. Her face wasn't far from his own, and the way she had herself positioned pressed her breast against his lower chest. Her fingers moved uneasily as if she wanted to do something with them, but wasn't sure if that would be crossing the line with this man.

				The first words that came from her mouth almost caught Markus off guard, and that was saying something considering he had spoke with diplomats from countless worlds. Still it didn't compare to how she brazenly walked forward to him, and he very much felt that barely restrained bosom press into his lower chest. He kept his calm, though, and looked down into her eyes wandering what she'd do next. <em>One question, eh?</em> He thought, wondering what it'd be as he took his eyes completely from hers to glance down her top. Since she was being so open about it and all. <br><br>That's when the kicker came, and the words did stick in his mind. <em>Well it seems you already slipped up!</em> He mentally chastised himself, but knew it was to be expected. He really should have looked into her more, but he had already delayed far too much for that. <strong>"Ahem."</strong> He cleared his throat before starting, making it quite obvious what had just happened. <strong>"Honestly, I haven't really looked into you at all before coming here."</strong> He explained, being truthful, a fact that was accentuated by the fade of his trademark smile. <br><br><strong>"You were recommended though. In fact I was told you were needed by a very great man; one that is no longer with the council. He's returned to the force."</strong> The pain that statement held was clear on Markus's face. It was hard to rejoice that return when he was sent there by a score of sith after all, despite how many times the council told him to. <strong>"I don't believe you ever knew him really, but he certainly knew you. He was my Master, Zexarious Morranus."</strong> He finished with a soft sigh, thinking he finally understood why she was so eager. She wanted out of this place, and he was perhaps her last ticket. It was disappointing that he had not noticed sooner.<br><br><strong>"Your answer, now come along. We have a great deal of work to do, and I'll explain on the trip."</strong> Markus said, then turned with just a wave of his hand. After all she should have gathered what things she had prior to meeting him, and he did have some supplies already purchased for her. So he walked in silence, not responding anything she may say along the way. It wasn't safe for them to talk here; not now anyhow. He already said too much, and their mission was to be taken in secrecy. Need to know basis only. <br><br>Markus and the girl didn't have to walk long, though. The meeting room was close to the dock, it was just a couple minutes away. He could see the ship readying ahead, and gave a subtle signal for RW to ready things for departure. He seen the others looking at him, and he just stared grimly. <strong>"Any further formalities will take place on my ship. Council orders."</strong> He explained to the masters, then glanced back her way. <strong>"Get in; I have a lot to tell you."</strong> The grim expression stated that he was far past the point of hiding things.

				Alainia hadn't expected this kind of reaction to her words, his demeanor was a complete one eighty, and truthfully she was impressed by how well he had pretended thus far. Though she had known he hadn't looked into her much even before he arrived, she figured he was one of those eccentric Jedi who just picked randomly from a list on some database, or even had a droid pick for him. Those types were rare, and she had just figured she was lucky if he had actually been one.<br><br>However as he started to inform her more truthfully she could see the pain on his features, and her smile dropped. She nodded to his first words, but paused as he began into his next statement. She listened intently, her thumbnail plucking up under her forefinger nail just to give her something else to do. Alaiania was use to multitasking, so just doing one thing at a time always made her fidget a little, though that plucking stopped as he mentioned who had actually recommended her.<br><br>His master was quite famous, and sadly news of his death hadn't reached this far. The fact that the man had recommended her from the force was quite an honor, but she wanted to ask another question. Why? She kept it to herself though, his master probably hadn't explained anyway, master jedi were like that after all. <em>Well he's certainly not in the galaxy anymore."</em> She thought sorrowfully, before sighing deeply. She looked up to him once more, but she could tell she had already turned him off with her comments.<br><br>That caused her to wonder if he was only aroused when he was lying and pretending, she supposed it did happen a lot if someone was tasked with infiltrating social structures too much, though that was just speculation. Her minds track was lodged of course when he said that she had her answer, and told her to come along. Another sigh escaped her lips as she followed right behind him, and then looked through her things quickly to make sure they were all there. Not like this small satchel had much in it anyway. As small as the satchel was, it was still only half full, and most of those items were just things she wanted to keep, not things that would actually be useful.<br><br>Alainia sure hoped she hadn't set the precedent of their future conversations, but alas she couldn't take it back now, and it was futile to regret it. That's what every master she had ever spoken to would say, she was pretty damned sure of that. Though as they approached his ship she noticed the droid, it was exotic even for an astromech, which were rare enough in their own right. Though she didn't have much time to think on it as the eyes and thoughts of the masters in the loading dock filled her mind, and she bit her lip at some of the things they thought but never said.<br><br><em>Cowards, they teach because they can't do!</em> The hurt thought came into her mind, and she was just glad to be away from this place. She had stopped caring what they thought of her a long time ago, but was that the truth? If she didn't care why'd she feel this way every time she heard what they really thought of her, and what they told others that came this way. It was of course all off the reports, but she knew they spread the words by mouth that might have gotten them looked into more heavily if they had been put in any reports.<br><br>That feeling of hurt was replaced by purpose when he told her to get in, and she went to follow his order. <strong>"Yes, Master."</strong> The words were swift even as she walked into the ship, and looked around. It had been a long time since she'd been allowed on any vessel, though that was her own fault. A rivalry a few years back had caused her to shoot down one of their own in a training exercise, he hadn't died but he had required a new arm. Due to that little issue she was a little rusty on piloting, but she knew she'd pick it up in no time. She found herself a seat until he was ready to get in, and admired the ship. <br><br>After just a second, she looked back him, and bit her lip once more. <strong>"Did the council commission this ship for you, or did you buy it separably?"</strong> She actually wasn't aware if jedi were allowed to buy items separably, or if all their gear had to come from the order, only one person over the rank of padawan had ever spoke to her for anything other than training, and he rarely talked about a jedi's personal life. Her leg crossed over the other as she folded her hands in her lap and kicked her foot lightly.

				Markus nodded at her response, then his gaze went back to the masters of he academy. He couldn't help thinking they seemed almost glad to be rid of her. How things had changed since his time in the academy. A point where the masters of the order trained their students in the old ways. Stringent times, sure; but the lessons they gave were invaluable. Now look at them; perhaps it was being so far out that made them this way. After all, positions like this were sometimes a punishment. A place no one wanted to be in.<br><br>Markus decided it best not to linger, so with a curt nod to the others he stepped back inside the ship. RW was a step ahead of him, though; a few beeps from the droid and he felt the cockpit slide shut before the engines roared to life. He set things up in front, and then glanced to her beside him. He gave her a dim smile, perhaps the first genuine one he'd shown since they met. <strong>"RW, set a course for the tangia belt; we need to get closer to the outer rim, but stay within republic space. If word of our quarry exists, we should find it out there."</strong> The droid beeped in response, and the controls were buzzing as it charted their course.<br><br>Markus leaned back then, letting the droid take over for now so the two could have their talk. <strong>"The ship was actually my master's, left to me."</strong> He said, before his expression softened. <strong>That aside, I want you to know my reaction at the academy was not in any way caused by you. I should have been more honest from the start."</strong> He explained as the security latches popped from the side of the ship, and they began their ascent to the stars above. <strong>"Our mission is one great importance. Something they would have sent my master on, if he was still alive. It's to be kept secret though; only those we need to tell should know."</strong> He looked toward her then with a calmer expression, feeling that tension ebb away the moment they were outside the field around the academy. <br><br>It was hard to say if Alainia's feelings about the place were the prime reasons for the tension. Markus knew those with a strong potential could often imprint their emotions in those around them, especially ones with a close bond. He knew they had never bonded before, but somehow he already felt close to her. Why he didn't know, but Zex obviously had an inkling. <strong>"Near the beginning of the council, the Jedi order housed a particularly rare and powerful crystal. It was too big to be made into a saber, and it's said they could not break it down for smaller uses because it was simply too dense."</strong> He began, telling the story as it had been told to him. <br><br><strong>"Regardless, the crystal had power. Some of the masters believed it was a relic from the beginning of the universe, something that had an impression of everything that would ever happen. The council used it to chart their course in the early years; until the first great sith lord battled the head of the council. The council had a singular elder back then, and his battle with the sith turned tragic. While he defeated the lord, a huge imbalance was caused. No one knew why, but in the aftermath we lost the crystal. The council believes a key to victory may lie in finding it again."</strong> He explained the rest, then looked into her eyes with a smile crossing his lips. <strong>"Think your up to chasing the fable?"</strong><br><br>Markus was indeed challenging the girl with those words. After all, this was a momentous task; and while he may not have wanted to undertake it at first, now he was certainly excited by it. He waited though, just leaning back as he let RW pilot the vessel. That's when he remembered something very important he'd left out, and if he didn't correct it, Rw was going to be very cross with him. <strong>"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This bucked of bolts behind me is RW, the astromech that my master himself created. He's one of a kind."</strong> He explained, and smirked at how the droid beeped it's greeting to her in a near erratic series of lights.

				Alainia watched as Markus looked out over the masters of the academy in this back woods world, and wondered if he had trained in a similar place. He seemed almost nostalgic, but really that wasn't any of her business. As he came on into the ship and the droid began preparing for takeoff, she noticed a slight change in him. He gave what she thought was possibly an honest smile to her as he took his seat in the cockpit, and had the astromech begin setting a course.<br><br>She knew the droid was a rare piece of equipment, astromechs were very valuable, and while they were always building more, the supply never met the demand. One as unique as RW, as Markus had called it, was even more valuable. Alainia's normal curiosity wasn't really ebbing at her, she didn't care if this mission was a suicide mission, getting away from the academy was all that mattered to her. Though as he explained where he'd gotten the ship, Alainia's expression softened, and another sigh escaped her lips.<br><br><em>He's not coping well.</em> It wasn't a sarcastic thought, but he was obviously having trouble with the death of his master, and she could not only see it but now that his defenses were down she could feel it as well. At least he felt comfortable on this ship, otherwise he'd still be on guard against any kind of empathy. Alaiania nodded as he explained that his reaction wasn't caused by her. <strong>"I figured that's how you are with anyone new you meet."</strong> She said, trying to keep her voice neutral, before she took a look at the controls and sighed as she seen the stars above the planet. She wasn't fond of this world, or most of it's denizens for that matter.<br><br>Alainia was about to start a little small talk, when he began to explain their mission. She could tell he was being long winded about it, but as he told the story of how the jedi lost the crystal she could see why. Her eyes were still scanning over the controls, getting a good idea how this ship worked so she'd be more useful as a co pilot, but as she let the story sink in she sighed and leaned back to close her eyes for a moment. <em>Well, it's certainly better than a suicide mission, though not by much...</em> The thought flowed through her as she resolved herself to the task at hand, and looked up at him with a near cocky smirk, ready to answer.<br><br>That was when he introduced her to the droid, and while she understood that droids did feel emotions, it had thrown her off none the less. A giggle escaped her lips, and her smile turned to one of amusement as the droid beeped and it's head spun, if an astromech had a head anyway. <strong>"It's my pleasure, RW; I'm sure we'll get along just fine."</strong> Alainia managed not to crack her voice with the laughter that tried to break through, but a few giggles did escape as she spoke back to the droid. <br><br>It only took a second for her to compose herself once more, and she turned to look at Markus. <strong>"Yes, I think I'm up to the task at hand, Master."</strong> She said, confident in her abilities, and obviously relieved the mission and his selection of her wasn't what she had originally though it to be. For her even a suicide mission was better than staying there, there was always a chance of survival even on the most grim missions, but they had already been preparing her to enter the jedi corps before he had sent word to Almasor. She wouldn't have gotten another chance to be a Padawan, and despite her attitude she wanted to be one. Not for glory, or to rise in the jedi order, but just to advance her own skills and see the galaxy. <br><br>Alainia leaned back once again, her mind just now thinking of where they might find some information about a crystal of that size, and something clicked in her mind. She could never be sure if it was her ability to see things as a seer did, she couldn't really control that power very well, or if it was just something she had read at one point or another. <strong>"Actually; there is a planet in the Alta cluster just at the edge of Republic space that's somewhat close to a dwarf star. A lot of debris and and things lost in the first sith war fall on that planet, this also brings a lot of scavengers and "treasure hunters". If you don't have any better leads it's worth a look."</strong> She explained, her eyes somewhat distant, but her voice calm and melodic. <br><br>Alainaia blinked, her eyes coming back into focus, and she realized that they were already quite far from the world that had been her home for twelve years now. Although it had't felt like a home in over seven years, and she was quite pleased to be leaving it. She looked over to him, and smiled seductively. <strong>"Even if the crystal isn't there, one of the scavengers might know something useful to our search?"</strong> She wasn't really certain, and so she asked Markus. He was older than her and had a lot more experience, and truthfully she didn't even know how she knew of that planet and it's proximity to a dwarf and battles of the first sith war. It's not as if many master would allow a youngling to study that brutal war in depth.

				The eccentric Droid took the field for a moment, and Markus was glad to let it in all truth. He kept his smile, and chuckled a bit as she made her somewhat odd introduction to the astromech. It had taken him quite a bit of time to get used to thinking of RW as a person and not a thing. Actually, he still had some trouble thinking like that sometimes; that was until RW told him off about it. It was hard to deny it's sapience when the thing could argue about it all day long. It'd take some time, but soon she wouldn't even need to translate those beeps. The force would simply guide her into understanding the message the droid tried to convey. <br><br>Markus took his mind from that when she began to explain some of the ideas she had. He was glad to see she wasn't intimidated by the mission they had before them. Perhaps it was because she couldn't wait to get off the rock she'd been living on, or just a wanderlust and curiosity about what would come. He figured a mixture of both in fact, but that was another story altogether. One he'd have plenty to time to uncover as well. Though when he heard her mention the Alta cluster, his smile grew much wider. He didn't know how she'd heard of that place, but the girl was sharp to be sure. <br><br><em>Now isn't she quite a gem.</em> Markus thought, listening to her warn what might be out there, and then question if it was a good idea to venture out that way. Test one passed; the girl had skills! <strong>"A great idea actually! RW set our course further out. Reroute it around the belt, and loop us to the Alta cluster. We'll descend to the planet afterward. Ignore most troubles, but if something too bad rears it's head then bring us in."</strong> He ordered the droid, whom beeped a response he did not at all appreciate. <em>Yes, I am the boss of you. Council orders.</em> He thought with a frown, but that frown was gone when he seen that RW was indeed taking them that way. That caused him to relax, so he turned his attention back to the lovely apprentice he had at his side. <br><br><strong>"Another thing I should mention. I noticed you tend to learn more intuitively then most. I trust you know that can be dangerous, and doubly so for us. We're not likely to run into them soon, but there is a chance we'll have to battle sith on this mission. You must keep it in check around them at all costs."</strong> Markus warned, but lightened the mood immediately afterward with a smile. He reached into his bag then, pulling a data pad from inside and tossing it to her with a tilt of his head. <strong>"Yours. No one exploring the outer rim should be without one. It's useful as a multitool, communicator, and multiple other things the force could do but draw too much attention."</strong> He explained simply.<br><br>Markus knew she'd likely not had much in the way of possessions, and truthfully it was uncustomary to give her any while she still remained a padawan. His master had taught him that such things could be useful for a young one to grab onto, though; and he was gonna be damn sure that favor was passed on. Other things took his mind then, like how her robe was still loose in the front. The cleavage was displayed nicely, and he admired it while he thought on the odds of him getting such an attractive apprentice. It definitely wasn't how he expected to spend his time as a mentor; doting on the young thing he was supposed to be teaching. <em>By the stars, you can still think of that at a time like this.</em> He mentally joked, and just enjoyed the view while they soared past the atmosphere and began their fast paced course through space.

				Alainia was surprised by his reaction to her input, even as she was questioning the thought of heading to someplace she was now certain she'd never heard of, he was giving orders to the droid to take them there. Sadly for her the look of astonishment was evident upon her delicate features, and her eyes lit up as the droid beeped at Markus. <em>Are they arguing?</em> She thought to herself as she looked around the ship and things began moving while RW's beeping continued.<br><br>She gave a shrug, and helped with the planning, bringing up a holo of the planet they were heading to, and looking up more detailed information about it. Halfway through however, she heard Markus's warning about one of her abilities. Alainia knew she learned much faster than most young force users, even one time of seeing a technique was enough to get the rudiments even when dealing with abilities that usually took years to even understand. Her fingers halted at the controls as she thought on his warning of being careful if they met up with a sith. <br><br><strong>"Yes, Master..."</strong> The words came out a second later, but Alainia's voice was almost hesitant as she wondered if she'd even be able to control that little gift that had lent her so much during her youth. <em>Huh! So what made me the best at the academy could make me a liability in the field...</em> The thought shook her for a second, she'd never thought that gift would be a detriment, or could pull her to the path darkness. Her thoughts were broken up as Markus flippantly tossed a datapad to her, and her hands came up reflexively to catch the small device. <br><br>Alainia knew what it was, but she nodded her head as he gave her the explanation. Slipping it on she finished bringing up the data on the planet they were heading to, and blinked at the gravity the planet had. It was slightly larger than most life sustaining worlds, and it's gravity was twice that of Alsamor. It wasn't an issue for them, but most people would require a balance device or suit to walk over the surface. That likely meant most people were using some sort of transport to move about.<br><br>Alainai looked over to Markus, and smiled, this smile softer, and less aggressive. <strong>"Thank you, Master."</strong> Her words were calm and soft as she looked over to him, that smile still gracing her lips. That was when she noticed he'd gone to looking at her breast, and her smile once again turned seductive. <strong>"So Master, anything you can teach me while RW brings us to the Alta cluster, or would you prefer to go over the data on the planet?"</strong> Her words were laced with lust, even as she removed the sash from her robe, the cloths now just barely covering her breast.

				Markus's mind was still drifting over her body when she thanked him, and those words did draw his mind back to light for a moment. It was in that moment he began to think on how she had answered his first statement. It was almost as if she didn't know how to control that little talent of her's in the least. If that was the case it was something they really needed to work on. You didn't simply mimic the capabilities of a sith. Their powers stemmed from an entirely different course. The path of discipline compared to the path of passion. They were ruled by their emotions in nearly every sense of the word. <br><br>Markus was taken from that thought with her next words, though; and his eyes shot back up to her's with more then a bit of surprise. That's when he noticed the other motion she had made, and his eyes wandered back down to see the sash of her robe completely removed. He could see her navel now, just peaking from the cloth, cloth barely held in place by the swell of her breast. <em>By the stars, what is she doing?</em> He asked himself, though that's when he noticed something disturbing; his breath was short. It wasn't like he had never seen bare flesh before, so why in the galaxy was he acting like this!?<br><br>Markus didn't know what to do, so he did what he always did in those situations; he let his instincts guide him. <strong>"I think I have a lesson or two that would be appropriate for the situation."</strong> He said softly, a charming husk to his voice as he unstrapped the safety harness to lean over the seat. His hand stroked her leg at first, letting his fingers drift and tickle her flesh beneath the fabric while sending little tinges of energy along it to tickle the skin beneath. Before long at all, his face was before her's; and he let the fingers of his other hand come up to stroke her lip, trailing down from it across her cheek.<br><br>Markus just let his hands continue their journey for a bit, fingers slowly rising high up along her leg as the small jolts of pleasurable energy still pulsed from their tips. Though the digits of his other hand were drifting lower, stroking along her neck and down to the beautiful mounds of flesh that rested beneath it. He stroked them over the tops of her breast at first, and then cupped one in his hand as the other gripped her hip gently. He stared into her eyes at that point, searching them for a brief moment before he leaned in to plant a kiss on her soft lips.<br><br>Markus just let them press against the flesh at first, then his tongue brushed out across them; beckoning her to let it in. Meanwhile his hand was still cupping her breast, now kneading into it lightly as he caressed the full mound. He didn't have to wonder about what he was doing here, he knew full well; and there was indeed a good lesson to teach. That thought stirred his other hand back to life, and it kneaded into her hip as his fore fingers pressed into the tight flesh of her clothed bottom. He stroked the digits across it lightly, feeling his manhood rising to life as his arousal grew.

				Alainia didn't have to wait long as her breast began to rise and fall, her breath growing more shallow as their eyes met. She still had that seductive smile, that seemed to just spread to the rest of her features. This wasn't just about lust, or even trying to make him feel like she'd be useful on the journey. He'd been kind to her, more kind than anyone had in a long time, and while she tried not to care about those who treated her like some sort of problem, she certainly wanted to repay the favor to those who treated her well.<br><br>That reason she knew wasn't the full truth, he was handsome, and she'd always had a little trouble keeping her hands to herself, especially when given the opportunity. This was a prime opportunity, and they would be here in space with little else to do for a while yet. She kissed at his fingers as they traced over her lips, and she made a soft gasp as the fingers trailed from her lips to her cheeks and then lower still. Alainia could feel his fingers over her thigh then, the little pulses of energy he was creating almost shocking her skin beneath her pants. <br><br>Pants; those were something she had never been fond of, it was hard for a girl to feel pretty when the jedi wore what they wore. She knew the outfit was for utility, and it had it's perks, but sometimes a girl just wanted to wear a dress. As Markus's hand made it to her hip, her own hands came up to loosen his belt, and she spread his robe so that she could run her her finger tips over his tones stomach. <br><br>Alainia felt her gasps flowing from her lips more than heard them, her own instincts leading them farther into this impassioned, and some would say forbidden indiscretion. She moaned out softly as his hand cupped her breast, and her back arched to press her chest further against his hand. It had been a while since she'd enjoyed this kind of pleasure, and the feeling of wetness between her legs was a testament to how much she was enjoying it. <br><br>She pressed her fingernails into his skin, and began to run them up slowly over his stomach and chest, letting the backside of her nails scratch lightly over his skin. Aliania felt his fingers knead into her hips and bottom and she hissed out a gasp, feeling his tongue dance at her lips. She kept her teeth gritted as she smiled for a few seconds, before parting them and sucking his tongue into her mouth.<br><br>Aliania moaned into the kiss, before bringing her hands up to his neck to curl her fingers into his hair. She giggled into the kiss as she stood up and straddled her legs over his lap. She pulled his head back by his hair, and broke off the kiss with a nip at his lip before leaning over to kiss at his neck. She made little bites into the flesh of his neck, even as she gasped out into his ear. Alainia ground herself down into him, before releasing his hair so that she could let her robe fall from her shoulders, and she pulled back to gaze into his eyes.<br><br>She rocked her hips over him, feeling his cock through his pants as she bit at her bottom lip. <strong>"Is this the lesson you had in mind?"</strong> She asked, her voice laced with lust and passion, and she quirked an eyebrow at him. <strong>"I'm sure this ship has a bed or two, and I'd hate to end up throwing us off course..."</strong> Those words were more wistful, and she titled her head wondering if he'd still go through with this little lesson...

				Markus gasped when he felt her accept the kiss, and he let himself fall into just a little too much. The feeling of her sucking his tongue was something he just now realized he hadn't felt in a while, and so he lost himself in it. So lost he was that he didn't feel her moving closer, he just kept his hands caressing her form. He had his palm caressing the full of her firm bottom now, fingers kneading lightly into the flesh through the cloth while the other hand massaged her breast with a passion. Then something else came, and he felt his mind drifting back to him with excitement. <br><br>Markus's head was now pulled back by his hair, and he moaned into the kiss as he felt her straddle over his lap. His right hand dropped from her breast at that point, moving to join his other at her rear. He cupped her cheeks tight, gasping more as he felt her grinding her thighs down into his. Then she broke free, leaving his lip with a soft sting he was sure had broke the skin. He forgot the string quickly though, and his mind moved back to her passion as she leaned down to kiss his neck and he found himself returning the favor in kind. He kissed the flesh, sucking on it with soft nips as she gasped out and released his hair. <br><br>Markus gazed up into her eyes at that point, his hips rolling up a bit to press his now fully erect manhood into her sex through her pants. He was gasping hard, and the way she bit her lip just caused his breath, and the hands on her bottom, to work even harder. <strong>"Not quite, but this one is good too; and it's getting us there."</strong> He responded with a sly grin, squeezing her backside as she finished the coy question that came next. <strong>"It has three, two of which can form to make one rather large bed quite easily."</strong> He said with a suggestive husk, and then stood up bringing her form with him as he rose. <br><br>Markus held her tightly then, keeping her balanced and in the air by her bottom as he started to walk toward the only passage. He used his innate capabilities to activate the door, and carried her through them as they slid open to make way for the two. From there it was only a short travel through another, already open door. <strong>"Join"</strong> He whispered the command word, and the sound of metal shifting filled the air as he watched the two lone beds at either side of the room shift to the middle, forming a lovers sized cushioned surface. He smiled into her eyes at that, and walked forward before he laid her across it's surface with him following over top of her. <br><br>Considering how Alainia had acted in the cockpit, Markus wasn't sure how long their current position would last; but he was eager to find out. With that thought in mind, he brushed his fingers across her bare breast, kissing lightly at her neck as he tested to see how long she'd wait before trying to take control. It was an important part of the lesson, and would give him insight into what he could expect of her in the field. While he waited, however, he didn't let his hands go idle. His fingers went from teasing to caressing her breast full on, while the other drifted down her side to toy with the cloth of her pants; snaking his fingers under the hem as he started to lower them

				Alainia smiled almost mischievously as he responded to her first question, and truthfully it wasn't a surprise to her that this wasn't quite what he had in mind when they began this lesson, but then she still didn't know if this would a be real lesson or not. She pressed herself down into his groin, feeling his erect girth beneath her wetness, only the cloths they wore keeping them from the passion that lay in wait for them. She moaned out lightly as she felt his hands kneading into her rear, and when he responded to her second question she almost giggled. <br><br>As he lifted her up, her hands came back up to wrap around his neck for stability, and her legs crossed around his waist. She could still feel his length being held from her by their cloths, and it was driving her crazy. She felt the resonance of energy as he used the force to part the doors that led them into the sleeping chamber, and when he said join, she couldn't help but think. [/i]With you? Gladly![/i] The thought was wistful, but it passed as he laid her down upon the newly joined beds.<br><br>Alainia kicked her boots off as he kneaded into her breast, causing her to arch her back with a gasp of pleasure, and her hips rolled up to him with glee. She looked up into his eyes, enjoying this greatly, but when his fingering dipped into her pants she bit her lip with another gasp muffled, giggled. His hand upon her breast were insistent, and finally her back fell to the bed as she released a breath she hadn't even been aware she was holding. Alainia raised her hips up in invitation for him to remove them, her hands kneading into the back of his neck as she looked down into his eyes. <strong>"Haven't we waited long enough?"</strong> Those words were spoken in between her shallow breaths, and her raised hips pressed into him slightly before she slipped back and out of her pants.<br><br>Alainia brought her knees under her, the bed cloths being creased and pressed out of place by the motion as her hands came up to press against Markus's chest. Now completely nude, she gave him that same seductive smile even as her lips were parted for breath. She pressed him back, before nuzzling her face against his groin through the pants he wore. She looked up into his eyes, the feeling of his cock against her face, the clothe the only thing separating his erect length from her and their combined passion.<br><br>Her fingers hooked under the hem of his breaches, and one of her hands drifted down under them to grasp over his cock. She pressed it up against his stomach before pulling down his pants, the entire time she looked up into his eyes, hoping to see the reaction. She wasn't looking for the fake one he put up for most people, she could already tell from what she'd seen, that he didn't really know what to do around people, and so he did what he'd been trained to do.<br><br>Alainia danced her tongue over her lips for a second, before putting that tongue to use over the underside of his cock. She could feel his pulse through that hardened length, the veins pumping blood through it as his heart raced, and her tongue just danced up it farther with every pulse of his heart. Finally she reached the top, and with one final look into his eyes, she took his tip into her mouth. Her tongue did most of the work for her, but the taste of his pre cum filling her mouth caused her moan over his cock, and she tickled her tongue right under his head to tease more of it from him. <br><br>Her eyes closed as she took more of him between her lips, her tongue still working over him even as his hot tip reached the back of her mouth, and she made a slight gag over him. Pulling back from him slightly she took in a breath through her nostrils, and disciplined her mind to take the rest of his length down her throat. Her eyes opened for just a second, before closing as she pressed her self back over his cock. This time there was no gag, just the soft sound of her swallowing his cock, but even as her tonsils worked over his length she knew she wouldn't be able to keep it up long.

				Markus gasped at the very words she spoke. <em>Long enough? Maybe...</em> He thought absently, his fingers still hooked beneath the hem of her pants. That's when she raised them in a subtle, but incredibly enticing invitation. It was one he couldn't refuse, so he began to slip them from her form with a quick motion. The swift pull wasn't needed, however, as she pressed into him before pulling her legs from the pants in a jolt of movement quicker then he believed she could make. Now she raised up onto her knees completely bare, and the sight itself made him sigh out a gasp. <br><br>Markus felt her fingers grip into his chest then, and he released her abandoned cloth from his hands so they could take their rightful place on her skin. He stroked her sides endearingly, but yet again the young lady managed to surprise him. She pressed forward, and he went with it, letting himself fall back before she leaned forward to nuzzle his groin through the breeches. He gasped at the feeling, and his hands came up as he stroked them through her curly blond locks. He was ready when her fingers slipped beneath the hem of his pants, and his hips raised in welcome for her to pull them off. <br><br>As she pulled the last remaining garment from Markus, his cock sprang out to it's full glory. It was already pulsing with life, and he couldn't help but wonder where his delicious apprentice would take this next. He didn't have to wonder long though, as she leaned forward again to take his cock into her mouth. He gasped as the moist warmth of her tongue caressed him, and let his fingers drift through her tresses as he slowly tickled the top of her scalp. It'd been a long while since he'd felt a jolt of passion this strong, and despite the fact that he knew this path wasn't so good for his lesson, he was loathed to let it stop. <br><br>So Markus did the only thing he could do; he gave in to it. His fingers kneaded deeper into her hair then, and he gasped with a chuckle when she had to pull back. He studied her eyes as she meditated, and was pleased to see that she ruled her body rather then going into a frenzy of rampant emotion. His cock was even more pleased, however, for the when she took him into her mouth next, he felt his full length slide all the way in. A gasp louder then before resounded from his lips at that point, and he caressed her head more vigorously, letting one hand drop down to cup at her breast in his palm. <br><br>Markus knew all his girth was in her now, but he also realized the blond beauty would not be able to keep it there for long. He decided to take over then, kneading into her breast just a little tighter as his other hand caressed through her hair. He gave his cock a few pumps into her throat before he made his move, and with a quick motion he pulled from within her mouth. He knew she wouldn't be happy about it, but he did plan to make up for the indiscretion. So he pushed his fingers forward, reaching beneath them before he cupped her sex. His fingers played with her delicate flower then, brushing her lips before he slid a single digit into her depths. <br><br>Markus made sure that finger did it's work, and he guided her up from her knees and back on top of him. While he wanted to lavish her with his tongue, he thought the positioning too awkward for it. Besides, this angle gave him more the view he wanted. So he pulled her up to straddle him, placing his cock right against her dripping sex before leaning forward to those delicious breast that waited just before his eyes. He sucked one into his mouth immediately, his tongue flicking out over the sweet bud while he worked to massage the areola with his lips.<br><br>Markus knew the heat was rising now, so he positioned his cock right against her sweet hole. Sucking harder on her breast,&nbsp; he rocked his hips just enough that the tip began to push inside. Her hole was tight, and he hissed around her nipple as the warm depths began to consume him. He flexed his muscle a bit to make room, then just let it glide on in as his hands reached down to once again caress her bottom. He squeezed it tightly, then began to massage her cheeks as his finger tips dipped softly against her star, teasing the little rose but as his thick length worked it's way to a comfortable resting place within her sex.

				Alainia could feel his fingers curling through her hair as her head bobbed over his cock, and the feeling of his pulse in her throat and mouth caused elicit excitement to course through her entire body. She could feel him pumping his hips to meet with her mouth, a motion which hastened her loss of breath, and began to trigger her gag reflex. Markus didn't let it go that far however, and with a tug of her hair she felt herself being pulled up. He had been playing with her breast for a while, but only when he finally squeezed tighter did she notice again.<br><br>A little whimper left her lips, but it stopped mid track as she looked up and felt his hand between her legs. His fingers teased her sex, and she could feel her juices flow before he had even slid his thick digit into her depths. A louder moan escaped her lips then, and her head threw back for a moment, tossing her hair over her shoulders and causing her breast to bounce on her chest. Alainia looked over to him as he pulled her closer, and her legs moved to straddle him once again as she felt herself being pulled into that position.<br><br>Alainia gasped as she felt his hot tip brush against her sex, and her breast heaved as she realized he had probably gotten off track from his lesson. That was fine with her at the moment, she was rather enjoying this more anyway, perhaps they'd get to it later. Though as his head leaned over to suck on her breast, her eyes shut for a second, even as she teased her sex over his cock, letting her wetness drip over him as her hips shifted. Her back arched at the way he was sucking and nipping at her nipple, and she could feel her hair tickling at her back sending jolts of pleasure down her spin. <br><br>It was then she felt him pressing his large cock up into her, and her breath left her lungs as she felt him penetrate her. She could feel his every inch slipping into her, and she pressed down over him sliding him even deeper. The sucking at her breast was an after thought, at least at the moment, as she felt his girth stretching her out to make room. As she found herself resting against his thighs, she rocked her hips finding the angle that was most comfortable, before she clenched over his cock. That was when his sucking at her breast came back to mind, and the feeling of his hands teasing at her bottom caused her to moan out loudly. <br><br>Alainia could feel her breath coming back to her, and her hips began their work as she rocked herself up, sliding his cock from her sex until it almost left her little hole. That lasted less than a second before she rocked back over him and her back arched again, causing her to throw her hair once more as a moan ripped the air from her lungs again. She continued rocking over him in that same motion, her hands kneading and her nails scratching at his back, while her sex milked and clenched over his cock, massaging that length of flesh that she kept burying deep into her body. <br><br>She pressed him back to lay on his back, even as she milked over his stiff member, and her rocking continued to bring her up and down over that hard length. Her moans were intensifying, and she could feel little beads of sweat begin to drip down her back, even as her body arched back to get more leverage. The smell of her sex had filled the air, and at this point she just wanted more. Alainia continued to bounce over her masters cock, her finger nails raking over his back and sides, and the muscles of her sex massaged over his stiff member. Alainia was in paradise, but she was certain her master could make it even better...

				Markus felt his thick shaft pulsing in her depths with that moment of pause, but it was nothing compared to the rush that came when she pulled herself up. His fingers kneaded deeper into her flesh at the motion, and he moaned around her breast as he pushed his cock back up to meet her descent. That began a rhythmic pace for the two, and it was one he was all too ready to welcome. His hands grew more persistent with her bottom then, stroking the cheeks as he pressed his fingers tight into the flesh. His teeth were nipping the bud of her breast now, teasing it with a passion as his hips rolled faster beneath hers. <br><br>That's when the scratches across Markus's back registered, and he moaned even deeper across her breast before he had to pull back from them for air. She didn't even seem close to out breath though, and he learned how true that was when she pressed him back into the bed. He let himself go with her, his hands still caressing her backside as he pushed his cock into her welcoming passage with a greater intensity. She was milking him hard now, and the blinding pleasure of it was starting to take it's toll on his disciplined mind.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>Markus felt that slipping, and he leaned up to kiss her neck as she rode him. His fingers spread her cheeks then, and one of the digits snaked out to stroke the juices that were pouring from her sex across her little star. He gasped at the feeling, and just continued to rub those juices into her tight rose bud, even through the pleasure filled scratches that were now tracing his chest and back. His body was stinging with excitement now, and he planned to repay her in full for that. So without further delay, he slipped his finger into the quivering entrance of her forbidden hole, snaking it inside before he began to rotate it in small circles around her restrictive ring. <br><br>Marklus continued with that as he sucked on the flesh of her neck, gripping her cheek with other hand as he massaged it to spread her backdoor even wider. He pushed up into her now tighter entrance then, and gasped bringing hot air across her ear in a whisper. <strong>"Beautiful!"</strong> Was all he said before gripping her cheek tighter, and using that leverage to roll over on top of her. His hand brushed down from her bottom to just under her thigh, and he lifted it up so he could press even deeper into her passage. He felt the tip of his cock press into her cervix with that thrust, and going so deep caused him to moan out even louder. <br><br>Markus was growing close now, and the lesson had yet to be started. He knew once they finished it wouldn't matter, that lesson would take on a life of it's own. So now he just needed to make sure it went that far. Looking down into her eyes, he pressed his finger into her quivering rose bud deeper, beginning to rock his hips in a harder motion as he pumped. He kept up that stare though, looking down into her soul as they lost themselves in the pleasure, feeling his girth thickening all the while. His arousal was building to orgasm quickly, but he wanted them both to come together....

				Alainia could feel his fingers exploring her rear end more thoroughly, and she continued to moan as she kept her hips rolling over his cock, even as she milked and massaged him tighter in her depths. Her sweat continued to bead across her skin, even as her back arched sending the beads trailing down her form all the quicker. She had grown very comfortable with this position, his kisses at her ear, her fingers kneading and scratching over his shoulders and back, but that was when he surprised her.<br><br>The fingers he placed over her sex, his cock spreading her wide causing her juices to flow all the more freely, caused her bite down on his neck. That was nothing compared to what happened next, that same finger came back to her bottom, and the star he'd explored lightly was now wet with her sex. She'd rarely had anyone play with that hole, much less rub her own juices upon the rose bud, but she could tell he wasn't done yet.<br><br>Alainia's suspicions were confirmed a second later as his finger pressed into her, the sudden jolt of it almost caused her pull back from him, but she felt her fingers dig deeper into his skin than before. A hiss fell off her lips as she felt completely filled, but his finger rotating inside her rear end had her re-positioning herself for comfort. That proved useless as she heard him whisper that she was beautiful into her ear, before rolling over on top of her. She sighed out a moan as she shifted beneath him, and then he brought her leg up to press deeper into her. <br><br>She dug her fingers into the bedding and then twisted as she squealed in pleasure, the sudden shock of his finger snaking into her star now pass, and the added pleasure it could bring beginning to fill her. Her toes curled as her back arched, and she felt him pound his cock deep into her. She rolled her hips up to him as her eyes came up to focus on his, but she didn't maintain the focus for long as he pressed into her again causing her hips to roll in rhythm, and her back to arch which threw her head back. <br><br>Alainia shut her eyes for a few seconds, even as his cock began to thicken inside of her, and now she couldn't tell whose pulse was whose. <em>Not exactly what I had thought of, when thinking of joining, but this will do. In fact it might even be better!</em> The husky thought rolled through her, and her hips rolled with it before she once again opened her eyes to look into his. She could feel her breast bouncing on her chest every time she arched, and the sheets were now slipping from her grasp, the sweat having built up over her palms. <br><br>She was growing close now, and truthfully had been for a while now, but the finger in her bottom was driving her quicker than before. She was so close, but she'd make him wait just a little longer now. She milked over him harder now, clenching her walls over his length almost as if trying to make it deflate, but this caused her body to shake as she squealed out much louder than before. She could hear the echo's off the walls, and her hips began to buck. <br><br>The energy that had been building for a while now wouldn't be dammed in, and she could feel it washing over her. With a few last bucks of her hips, Alainia felt her juices wash over his cock as she milked him tightly. Her body ached, and she could feel the leg he had held up cramp lightly, but it didn't matter as her orgasm washed over her again and again.

				Markus felt her gripping his shaft even harder the more he pushed his hips, and the feeling was growing incredibly enticing. The roll of her hips became all that was on his mind, until his eyes looked away from her's that is. That's when he seen how hard her breast were bouncing on her chest, and that sent a shock of pleasure running straight up his spine. He shuddered at the thought, and his finger began to drive more insistently into her quivering star. He circled it in those same motions, tickling her insides while his cock continued it's exploration of her depths. <br><br>It was becoming too much for him to hold off though, and when he felt her body began to shake and shiver, he knew the time was there. He pushed inside her deeply at that point, pounding her three more times, each time feeling the head of his cock bounce against her cervix. Her screams of pleasure filled his ears, and that's when he let himself go. His cock jerked hard inside of her, and he felt the seed rush through his tip to begin saturating her insides. He moaned in pleasure at the feeling, and ground his hips against hers as he rode the rush. <br><br>Markus realized then how tightly his hand was clenching her thigh, and he released it to stroke soothingly over her flesh as he rolled his hips softly against hers. The throbbing of his organ hadn't stopped, but the pulsing through his body was more evident then that now. As it began to calm, his eyes came back up to her's. He slipped his finger from her backdoor at that point, and leaned up to nuzzle softly against her cheek. <strong>"You're amazing."</strong> He gasped, sex addled for perhaps the first time in his life. <br><br>Markus didn't notice it though, nor did he care at the moment. His hand continued stroking along her leg, and he pressed his finger tips into her flesh lightly. Looking back up into her eyes, he made a soft sigh. <strong>"Though your empathy is more- rampant then I thought."</strong> He said absently, then shook his head of the notion with a sigh. <em>Only you would speak of your original intent after that kind of experience.</em> He thought, and then just laid his head down against her breast with his cock&nbsp; still inside her. <strong>"Never mind that. Let's just lay here for a bit."</strong> He said, his face nuzzling her breasts as he shifted to a more comfortable position over top of her.

				Alainia moaned out all the louder as she felt his cock jerk inside her, and then his cum filling her sent her over yet another edge she hadn't seen coming. Her hips rolled as she milked his seed, and as his hips slowed she felt her back hit the bed once more. Her eyes closed for a second as she panted to catch her breath, her hips still rolling in rhythm with his, before he pulled his finger from her sphincter. She let out a sigh, and purred up at him as he told her she was amazing. A slight blush came to her cheeks, but she was already so flush most wouldn't even notice it.<br><br>Her breathing was still shallow, but her face went into puzzlement as he whispered about her empathy. She was still blinking when he told her they should just lay there, and another sigh escaped her lips then. <strong>"Yes, Master..."</strong> Alainia said, less vigorously than before, and just laid back for some rest. Her mind swirling with the lesson he had originally had in mind. In her head for sure he had been thinking the same thing she had been, a lesson being just an excuse to let go and have a little fun, but he had taken it very seriously. She still wouldn't have seen the real him if it hadn't been for the uncontrolled use of her powers.<br><br><em>Being wound up too tight isn't any better for you, than just letting go in an occasional bought of emotions. In fact, I think it's worse!</em> Those were the thoughts that ran rampant in her mind, but she kept it to herself. <strong>"Goodnight, Master..."</strong> She said as she pulled back from him, feeling his cock slip from her sex causing to her let out yet another slight gasp, before turning over to get some rest. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep, but in those last waking hours she did what she could to rein in her emotions. Those weren't the type of emotions that allowed her to let go, those were the kind she did what she could to avoid. So her final waking hours of the night were spent in mediation, and once she was too tired to continue she let herself fall to sleep. <br><br>Partly due to the meditation Alainia didn't dream, or at least didn't remember the dreams she did have, but the morning still came all too soon. The sound of RW beeping like a mad astromech woke her with a slight start. She looked around, and made a soft sigh as she remembered the night before, and all that had happened. After a few seconds she looked up remembering their course, and so with some reluctance she got up to get dress. She looked about to see where Markus had gone off too, was he still in the room, or somewhere else?

				Markus noticed she seemed upset, but he was too tired to try and calm her down about the situation right now. They'd have plenty of time to work through it come the morning. He guessed this was why a union between master and padawan was forbidden. Too many emotions to cloud one's mind, though he couldn't have guessed that before now. Just another example of how he wasn't ready for this yet. Which got him to thinking about why his master would have asked him to do such a thing. Did Zex think he was more capable then he was?<br><br>Markus glanced to Alainia with that thought, looking over her form as he wondered. That's when it hit him; the way the masters at the academy acted, and then how well he had done with her in such a short amount of time. His master knew someone like him, inexperienced and unafraid of what the council thought, would be needed. Otherwise what she would become would be monstrous. He could tell that already by just how much emotion she poured into the force when she called upon it. <em>I see now; but why would you care?</em> He questioned, not that it would be heard. <br><br>Markus just decided to let it go for now. He wouldn't deny a dead man's wish either way, and she needed him. For that matter, he may have needed her. <em>Don't think about things like that.</em> He chastised himself, then turned over and shut his eyes. Sleep found him all too quickly, and he arose in his normal time. Raising from the bed, he brushed a hand through his hair with a sigh. He had practiced through many hard nights to regulate his sleeping schedule, waking up at the same time very morning no matter what time he went to bed. It was a pain when he needed to change it for some reason, but usually it served him quite well. <br><br>Markus rolled from the bed then, catching himself nimbly as he walked nude into the small corridor. He drifted down the hall, and stepped inside the refresher. He looked at himself in the mirror for a brief moment, smirking at the scratches she'd left on his skin. <strong>"Those won't last long unfortunately."</strong> He said aloud, to no one really. Afterwards he activated the sonic, and let it's purifying vibrations run over him. The grime and sex from last night vanished before long at all, and he felt somewhat refreshed with the sudden rush of oxygen that came to his skin. <br><br>Chuckling lightly, Markus opened the cabinet at the side and dressed in another of his near identical outfits before he walked back into the corridor. From there he ventured back into the cockpit, and took a seat in one of the chairs. He looked at their course briefly before RW made a condescending beep. <strong>"Not now, RW! I know it was a bad idea, but you weren't in my shoes. You can't even wear shoes for that matter!"</strong> He called back to the droid, whom beeped in a somewhat defeated sequence.<br><br>Markus just nodded his head at that, then turned back to the control panel to find something very strange coming up on the radar. It looked like a swirling mass of energy; a black hole. <strong>"RW, that hole isn't supposed to be there! There isn't a single indication of such an anomaly on any of the maps! What's it doing there!?"</strong> He questioned the droid excitedly, whom answered with another series of beeps. <strong>"Cause you're the astromech and are supposed to know these things!"</strong> He answered, then realized he was arguing with a droid again. <br><br><strong>"Prepare evasive actions. See if we can't maneuver the ship around it!"</strong> He called to the droid, whom began an incoherent sequence of beeps as it frantically tried to follow a near impossible order. He knew the order was a hard one, too; but it's not like they had much of a choice at this point. So he did the only thing he could, he began to set up their enhanced systems for a possible black hole warf. If they were going to get out of this with their lives intact, they may have to end up using the black hole as a transport point.

				Alainia looked about for a few seconds until she finally heard Markus, his tone seemed stressed, but she just sighed before rubbing her eyes and heading to the refresher. She didn't exactly want to remember the night before all day long, and so she made her way into the chamber. It took her a few more seconds to find it, and she shook her head when she finally did. So eager she'd been to get to bed he never had the chance to give her a proper tour of the ship, but she pushed that from her mind, trying her best to not think the masters at the academy might have been right about her being a problem for any jedi who took her under their wing.<br><br>After it was activated she hissed out, feeling her form being cleansed, and shuddering lightly.She looked at herself in the mirror, noticing the bruised over her hips and thighs, and even one small thumb mark over the side of her breast. She couldn't help but smile at these, but then felt the turbulence. Her smile was gone in a an instant, now knowing for sure something was wrong. She headed back into the main room, and realized her cloths on the floor were all she had brought with her. Alainia hoped he hadn't been so lost in meeting someone he didn't know that he forgot to bring her cloths, and it hit her then. <em>How would have he brought me cloths, he didn't even know anything about me?</em> She bit her lip, before just getting back into the same cloths as the night before.<br><br>Alainia walked back into the cock pit her robe still open as the sash with her equipment was still laying in the cockpit floor, and there she just picked it up and began to tie it. As she fastened the belt, she looked up at the sensors, and her eyes widened with a little bit of shock. <strong>"I'm guessing this is what all the beeping is about?"</strong> She asked RW, calmer than Markus had been about it, and the responding beeps told her enough. She didn't understand RW as well as Markus did, but she did recognize that the astromech was trying to do something that was impossible. <br><br>She had a seat in the co pilot seat, and actually buckled the safety harness for once. She clicked at a few places, and no matter what she put in, the computer stated the same thing. Even if they were somehow thrown a line from a destroyer, they'd still be sucked in, the gravity was too strong. <strong>"Master, do you think we could trick gravity?"</strong> She knew the question was too vague for him to understand the moment it had left her mouth, and she shook her head as she tried to think of a way to explain it better.<br><br><strong>"I meant trick the empty spot in space, make it think we're-or even become anti matter. In theory we'd fly right through it, as if we were part of the same gap in space."</strong> Her word were flying from her mouth quickly, and she certainly wished she had paid more attention to the dynamics of anti gravity while at the academy. That was such a boring class, but right now it seemed all too important. Biting her bottom lip she looked over to Markus. <strong>"Is that a stupid idea?"</strong> She asked, hoping for an honest response, even as she tried to stabilize the engines through the controls, hoping to at least take some of the strain off RW.

				Markus didn't so much as glance back when he heard Alainia come into the cockpit, he just kept trying to prepare them for the worst if it came to that. The gravity meters were buzzing hard now, and it was becoming evident they would not be able to escape it's pull. So he began to work harder, adjusting the system ratios to absorb the brunt of the loose energy and hopefully trigger a wayward exit. Black holes were strange things, but they were not impossible to deal with. Though his master would have done far better this, after all he had ran into far more of these situations just traveling the outer rim he met the man. <br><br>Though Alainia's suggestion brought a thought into his mind. His fingers stopped typing, and he glanced up to her with a small smirk. <strong>"Brains and beauty; even if you don't realize it."</strong> He chuckled softly, then turned a small switch on the control panel. <strong>"Rw, drop evasive actions. Help me convert our energy to the gravity core in the ship. If we can manage it, we might be able to put up a field capable of simply passing right through the hole unharmed."</strong> He said, calmer now as he took the controls.<br><br>Markus looked back to Alainia again at that point, and pointed toward her side of the panel. <strong>"Start reversing the thrusters. If this is gonna work we'll need to ourselves some time. We might end up slightly off course, but we'll be intact and with the ship still moving. Which is better then the alternative."</strong> He explained, and began to set things in motion as he hoped she would follow through with her part. The ship rocked as the turbulence became worse, but the worst of it would be over soon. If their plan worked anyhow. <br><br>Markus felt their descent slowing, and then seen the sync light appear at the control panel. This would revert their course field to anti-gravity, effectively nullifying most outward dangers for a short time; but leaving them stuck riding the current of the black hole. It should just swallow them up, and force them out the other side with a burst of energy they could ride while getting the thrusters and field back in order. A rough ride, but better then their other options. So without further thought, he pressed the sync button; feeling their course speed up almost immediately as nothing was left to slow their path.

				Alainia blushed as he complimented her, though the comment about her not knowing it herself had her chagrined, by her thoughts she knew both of those were true. The only reason she was second guessing the idea that came from her lips is she had barely paid attention to the class on astrophysics, and it wasn't like pilot training came with a one way solution for dealing with black holes. <em>Well, there was this one part; it said to avoid them!</em> She thought as he continued speaking to RW, and Alainia made sure her side of the panel was being readied. <br><br>By the time Markus had given her instructions she was already doing what she could to slow the ship down until he and RW finished the field conversion, and the ship was protesting as the shaking and rocking threw her around in her seat. Once she was done with her work, she looked up at the beast it's self, seeing clouds of particles being swirled into it's depths to just disappear in that blackness. Alainia couldn't help but swallow slightly, before she tried to focus on it.<br><br>Her mind felt like it was sucked from her body, flying through an infinite void in the very fabric of reality, but she found multiple paths through this empty spot in space. As her mind came to her, she blinked having never expected to see anything like that, her face flushed with astonishment. <em>I never thought there could be more than just a one way path...</em> Her thoughts just kind of trailed through her as her breast heaved, and only then did she realize she had lost control of her abilities again. Nothing was damaged so she couldn't feel too bad, but more importantly she needed shut down the thrusters to conserve energy now that the field had been converted. <br><br>With a few clicks they were set, their nose moving forward like a little bolt looking to strike right through this monster. <strong>"Master, have you ever heard of a black hole having multiple pathways through it?"</strong> She asked him as she placed down in the computer the general layout of the black hole they were already headed into, and then turned the screen to show him the little snaking paths through this nothingness. She set a course from what she could tell through her insight into this black hole, and realized that it might have been alive somehow if she'd been able to see through it.<br><br>Nothingness were what black holes had been described as to her, but if that was true there wouldn't have been any force for her to see the path. <strong>"Master! I seen through this thing, the force is pulsing through this black hole. How is that possible?!"</strong> In what studies she had followed it wasn't, that was why black holes weren't that interesting to her. Though, if this one was brimming with the force, perhaps they could manipulate it to take them where they wanted to go. She'd hate to make it through a black hole to just end up burning up in a star the hole dragged in...

				Markus growled as the turbulence began, and he clutched his seat to void getting disheveled in the initial shock. The Field would do it's job, he was sure of that. They just needed to ride this out a little longer. Though when Alainia asked her question, he got a very bad feeling. He actually had heard of that; his master had encountered some of those on his travels. A grim expression crossed his features as he thought on what his master had told him about those things. Usually only the largest had multiple paths, and it was actually a force ripple in space. <br><br>If Markus remembered right, they were more like wormholes; and you could actually manipulate a normal sized hole to be one. Things that went in weren't so much destroyed as they were pushed out into another location, though the stress of the transit often did destroy the objects. Planets and the like had too great a pull for example, and grated as they were sucked in. Those types were always complacent though; they didn't move, systems were just pulled to them as they moved. No record showed one here; so that must have meant someone created, or moved it this direction. <br><br>That thought had Markus worried, and even as Alainia asked how it was possible, he gritted his teeth. <strong>"It's because that thing IS alive. It's not a normal black hole; it's a wormhole. Usually when a blackhole absorbs enough energy, it starts to spark more. Stays still, just circulating that energy into different areas of space; breathing so to speak. One shouldn't be here, which means someone is trying to block our path. And they are doing a good job of it!"</strong> He explained, his worry turning to frustration at how their plan needed to be altered. <br><br>Markus didn't have too much time to think on it, though; they were beginning to cut it close. <strong>"Send RW the details of what you saw inside. If I remember right, the original path it takes would be right through it. The middle. The others will try to suck us in, though; so we'll need to try and lock right on to the central wave and ride it out to the other side. It's the only thing I can think of that won't have us pulled into some other place."</strong> He explained, though winced when he realized he didn't tell her what he imagined someone was hoping to do with the hole. <br><br>If it acted as a circulatory passage to different parts of the Galaxy, then Markus knew someone must have been wanting them someplace else. Otherwise they would have just tried to destroy the ship outright. Though he didn't know where they were trying to take them, and that he wouldn't stand for. So the only option was to not fall into the trap. <strong>"Prepare, we'll enter it soon. Concentrate your energy on the center. This thing can be manipulated through use of the force. So we try to force it to take us where we want to go."</strong> He told her, and then began to focus; forcing the energy from his mind to try and lock on to the central link.

				Alainia was struggling to figure it out when Markus began explaining it, and she widened her eyes somewhat. <em>They never taught us that at the academy, if they had I think I would have paid more attention."</em> She thought, even as her mind swirled to other curiosities she now held about black holes. She had to push that from her mind though, they were being brought in by the massive pull of the black hole, and the ship despite the field they had created was shaking violently. Her teeth began to grind lightly, before Markus gave her instructions to send her information to RW.<br><br>She began to send it, and the astromech swirled it's head and began a long sequence of beeps that had her completely lost. Alainia looked back and blinked at the droid, wondering what the droid had said to her, at least she thought it was directed at her. However she soon had her next set of instruction from Marksu, and so she did what she could. To a lesser extent she had some training with this, though never on such a massive scale, they had done exercises at the academy with manipulating various elements using the force. <br><br>She focused her mind and power, placing all her attention to it, after all it wasn't like they were flying this ship right now anyway. Alainia could feel the energy converting even as she felt the ship moving faster, she guessed it was working, and sure enough the thing turned into a true wormhole. This thing must have been ancient, and she couldn't help but notice all the debris flying through this wormhole that was now headed in the same direction they were. It was something they'd have to worry about after they got through this though, it wasn't like it was likely to collide with their ship while the anti gravity field was around them.<br><br>Time and space just seemed to whiz by as they were jaunted through this thing, and everything about it seemed forced. She could feel them leaving the wormhole, and it felt like they were just sent flying out of it like some kind of refuse that needed to be expelled. They were sent far away from it, and as they returned to normal space a lot of their sensors began going off. It was as if the world was on fire out there, but she didn't see anything in the immediate vicinity. Not even the sensors could pinpoint an exact location, and RW seemed to still be trying to figure out where they were.<br><br>Alainia let out a sigh of relief even as she tried to pinpoint the reason the sensors were going crazy, and she looked over to Markus briefly. <strong>"Well we're off course, but we're still alive."</strong> She said to him with a slight giggle, before turning back with no luck to figure out what the sensors were going crazy for. <strong>"Either the sensors were damaged in the wormhole, or whatever's out their is hidden: very well."</strong> She said, not being able to figure out what was wrong, but she kept trying none the less. Normally she'd have just used her abilities, but she was already feeling pretty drained after what they had just done.

				Markus had never lead an endeavor quite like this. It was tough, he had to both focus his energy and try to guide hers as well so that they connected to the central link. The strain on his mind showed as well, and he began to sweat as he pulled the energy. That's when the collision happened, and the turbulence increased despite the field around them. <strong>"Arghh"</strong> He growled as his seat rocked, and he was nearly thrown from it a couple times; still he kept his mind pressed, and onto that link. He willed it, and soon enough he felt the turbulence come to a violent end. <br><br>Markus noticed something else at that point; the sensors were flaring up. He looked to RW first, and heard the beeping as his astromech swirled it's head in disbelief. <em>He can't find it...</em> Markus thought, and hoped that the sensors were merely damaged at this point. <strong>"RW, run a diagnosis on the sensors. Make sure we know what was and was not damaged in the wormhole."</strong> He said, then glanced back to Alainia, noticing how drained she seemed from what just happened. He couldn't blame her though, even he had felt the strain of the action. <br><br>RW beeped then, and Markus closed his eyes with a sigh. <strong>"So the sensors aren't damaged; like I thought."</strong> He said, tapping his chin thoughtfully. He then looked over to Alainia again, and a soft smile crossed his features. <strong>"Well whatever it is, it hasn't shown itself yet. We can try to move past it, while at the same time trying to contact it. Whatever it is might stall if it's aware we know it's here; and that might be all we need to get ourselves back on course."</strong> He explained with a smile, but winked afterwards as a mischievous thought came to his mind.<br><br><strong>"Or we could, you know, just look for them and possibly board their ship just to see what's going on. This far out they could have some valuable information."</strong> Markus hinted, and turned toward the controls as he put the communications into her hands. <strong>"I'll let you decide for once. Good to test your abilities every once in a while."</strong> Markus as to said as he glanced back her way with a grin. He was curious what she would do in this situation. Would she pick the logical choice and try to evade them, or would she attempt to make contact; or even try to find them. It was just so interesting...

				Alainia was once again astonished that Markus and RW were able to figure out that someone was out there so quickly, and then when he explained their course of action she bit her lip. <em>I'm not even sure if I'm really needed here, and I'm probably not.</em> She thought, but closed her eyes to rein her emotions in. She wasn't going to be much use to anyone if she wasn't in control, and so she took a breath before she heard the beep on the controls before her. He'd given her the decision, and Alainia couldn't stop her curiosity.<br><br>She began entering the the commands for various channels, and found one encrypted one that was active. <strong>"Found it!"</strong> She said, a little excited about doing this, and a&nbsp; smirk crossed her features. She looked back to RW, a seductive grin once more upon her features. <strong>"Rw, do you think you could patch me through on this channel?"</strong> Her voice was even seductive with the droid, and she turned back as RW began beeping something she still couldn't understand. <em>Maybe in a few weeks I'll be able to understand you, and know whether I should take that as a compliment or an insult."</em> She thought of the Astromech somewhat wistfully, before she looked down and noticed she was ready to send her message. <br><br><strong>"Wish me luck&gt;"</strong> She stated to markus almost girlishly, before she opened the channel and began their communications. She could already hear voices on the other side, and it seemed like they hadn't even noticed that RW had gotten past their encryption. That left a smirk on her features, and she winked back at her introverted master. <strong>"This is the Republic ship: Andromeda, we're on special assignment from the Jedi Council. We request that you identify yourself, and explain your reasons for staying cloaked."</strong> Her voice stayed firm, but she could tell she was having to use her communicator to understand the people on the other side. It was coming out awkwardly as if they both barely spoke the others language, and this caused her to look over to Markus with shrug.<br><br>Alainia could hear someone on the other side chastising what was likely a science officer about their encrypted signal being discovered, and the argument was getting pretty intense. She looked over to Markus somewhat awkwardly, and quirked her eyebrow while trying not to giggle. <strong>"This is the star ship Valeria, and both our assignment and jurisdiction is none of the Council's business. We're not after you, so go on, there won't be any hostilities if you stay out of our way."</strong> The man on the other side came out clearer, but did his voice ever sound old. She looked over to Markus as if asking what they should do now.

				Markus smiled when Alainia chose to pursue the cloaked vessel, and leaned back to examine her work. He nodded with approval as she asked RW to patch in, and even the Astromech was applauding her decision. <em>Lovely; Rw seems more fond of her then me...</em> He thought with amusement, and tilted his head as she seemed to get a girlish enthusiasm about being allowed to uncover her curiosity. He thought on that, and the other things she'd been so eager to uncover. He knew that it wouldn't be a very wise decision to stop, nor did he actually want to.<br><br>The relationship between master and padawan was intimate already; and what they did solidified the type of intimacy they could expect. That closeness, and he just hoped that it wouldn't prove to be a detriment to their cause. Though when she got through to the vessel, he leaned forward to listen. She approached it in what he would consider the correct manner, though the arguing from the other side was quite amusing. He had a good lesson for this one, and he figured he knew about what the response would be. Sure enough he was right, and that caused a wiry grin to cross his lips. <br><br>Markus pulled from the force at that point, and directed his mind to her's to put through a message they wouldn't hear. <strong><em>"Tell them to carry on and we'll do the same. Most likely their a rival vessel to the republic collecting similar information. However, now that we have their signal we can track them; pinpoint your farsight to the vessel and uncover it only our eyes. I'll aid you in this, and we monitor them for suspicion as we make our way. Gently now..."</em></strong> He conveyed while cupping his own chin in a pensive pose. He wondered what they would do, if they would notice; that would tell him if what he worried was aboard actually was. <br><br>While he thought on that, Markus began to conjure his energies; projecting them outward to help her bring light to the situation. He felt their presence, and locked on the pinch in time. He started to focus his mind then, collecting himself so he could unmask their field. It was a delicate process; not as straining as others since they were doing it in a closed area. Just changing their perception not that around them; and unified use of the force would also help his young padawan gain more discipline over hers. <em>Come on now; focus, you can do it.</em> He thought while waiting for his charge to finish her part of the plan.

				Alainia was pondering what their next move should be when Markus sent his thoughts to hers, and she closed her eyes as he imparted his instructions. She looked over to him with a curious look, and then just blinked before she turned back to the controls. <strong>"Very well, Valeria. We'll move along, It's none of our business, and we wish you safe travels."</strong> She replied before closing the communications, while keeping up the link. <br><br>Taking a breath she closed her eyes to focus on the ship, she felt her mind all but leaving her body to see into it. In this way she was able to see right past the cloaking, and she could feel Markus keeping their sensors from picking her up, while at the same time guiding her to their goal. Her form moved farther out, the force moving her ethereal form towards the ship. She felt contact, and her senses spiraled for a brief moment.&nbsp; <br><br><strong><em>"Master, there's a force use on board that ship, be careful."</em></strong> She informed him at the presence, but continued onward. She could tell the force user was trying to keep them at bay, but she could also tell it was more focused on Markus&nbsp; than it was her. She wasn't sure if whoever it was just didn't notice her, or if it didn't consider her a threat. She moved on past the barrier, and soon had a lock on the ship. She was seeing through much of it now, and could tell they were carrying something very large on-board. It was also protected somehow, and she couldn't make out anymore than an outline which was disconcerting in it's own right. <br><br>Alainia felt that presence focus on her for a second, and she withdrew before he got a lock on her. She felt her own presence whiz back to her form, and her eyes opened with a gasp. <em>That's always hard to maintain; I came back way too quickly.</em> She thought before looking over to Markus. <strong>"I got a fix on them, but did you feel the force user?"</strong> She informed and asked him, before she looked at the sensors. <strong>"There was also something very large on board, something I couldn't see..."</strong> She explained as she shook her head at the dizziness that came over her, before sighing.

				Markus heard her words through his meditation, and knew she was working the right angle as he peered deeper into the perception filter. It was intricate; more stable then most technologies could actually conjure. It's certainly not what the Jedi had expected, but not something that came as a surprise either; more a worry. So he expanded the energy, searching deeper when he felt the perception lifting for his ship, but still swirling around. He seen it then, the feeling of the pulse; a force user. Markus gripped his chair then, and heard his padawan's voice come into his mind. <br><br><em>It's as I feared...</em> Markus thought, though not projecting that thought to Alainia. This situation had just turned from galactic politic's to the business of the Jedi council. If there was a force user aboard, then it was most likely a sith as he had no word of any other jedi in the area. He knew he had been noticed, though he kept his intentions hidden; and tried to make sure what he assumed was a sith didn't realize he'd noticed. While at that, he peered even deeper; not having a chance of seeing anything, but he hoped the sith didn't realize that. He couldn't risk his apprentice being caught with her projection.<br><br>Mrarkus felt the disturbance in the force grow stronger then, and the sith seemed to project something there way; he severed the connection before it got there. When his eyes opened he heard Alainia gasping, and was relieved his young charge knew to back off when she did. He listened as she spoke, and nodded his head grimly as he tapped the side of his chair. <strong>"Yes, I noticed. Unfortunately we can't ignore it now; to my knowledge the force user on board is unauthorized. Why else would the ship have kept it's task hidden from the council."</strong> He responded, the grim expression still on his features as he rose. <br><br><strong>"RW, engage cloaking while sending exhaust from the back thrusters. I want it to seem like we made a jump. Afterwards, try to get us closer to their ship while hiding us from their sensors. I lifted the perception filter, so our vessel can see them fine. We need to find out what their transporting; the sith is not our primary concern."</strong> Markus explained, even glancing to Alainia to make sure she knew the plan as well. Young Jedi often took matters too far, and he wanted to make sure she knew they weren't hunting that sith. It'd be better if they could avoid him altogether. He just hoped she would keep wits about her enough to do it. <br><br>With that Markus grabbed a small satchel from the control box, tossing it to Alainia. He got one for himself too. waved for her to follow as he stepped toward a panel at the side. <strong>"Those are basic supplies from the council. Everything we should need for a task. I'm gonna try to open their docking bay without being noticed. With their sensors jammed, we may be able to get inside. It'll be dangerous though, and we'll have to be careful to hide our presence from the force user. We can sense them, but they can also sense us; keep that in mind."</strong> He explained, then began typing on the panel, locking with their ship through the sensor disruption, and beginning to crack the lock.

				Alainia listened to Markus as he explained that they couldn't ignore it now, and the grim tone had her rising to her feat. Though as his second set of instructions came, she bit her lips, the thought of not going after the sith troubled her, but she supposed they were on a more important task. It wasn't as if she wanted the fight, but the sith would kill many others if it wasn't stopped. She did what she could to push that from her mind, she didn't like killing anyway, unlike some of the other younglings that were selected to become padawans. Despite everything she could still feel the other presence, and while she wasn't certain if it was looking at them or not, she didn't know for sure that it hadn't already felt them. <br><br>Of course it wasn't like that mattered, she had already explained that they were on business for the council, and that was all but putting a sign on you're head that said "Hey i'm a Jedi!". She sighed as she checked her own gear, making sure it was ready for anything that might come up, but then he handed her a satchel with other supplies in it. <em>Well, he's not playing around with this.</em> She thought before equipping what she could to her belt, and then slinging the satchel over her shoulder in a way that it wouldn't hamper her movement. <br><br>Alainia watched as he worked on the hatch as RW brought them closer, and she was actually surprised there wasn't more turbulence. Most droids she'd seen had trouble with docking onto other ships, and that was one aspect of space travel that she had some amount of experience with. Docking ships had been considered an exercise for those preparing to go into the Jedi corpse, and they had usually been boarding smuggler or pirate ships. She guessed this wasn't that much different, she was just dealing with a more dangerous pirate crew.<br><br>She seen the door open, and peered around the corner, while she sent the location of the cargo to his data pad, and hated how long these things took to work. With a thought she could have sent it strait to his mind, but they were trying to be subtle. Alainia took a steadying breath so she didn't lose control of her emotions, she knew if she did the other force user would find them. The coast looked clear, but it seemed there was a little turbulence on this side. It probably wouldn't be long before they noticed that they had been boarded, so they needed to hurry. <br><br>Alainia looked to Markus for a second before she headed on farther on board the ship leading them to the shielded cargo bay. <strong>"Master, what do you think they could be carrying that needed that much shielding?"</strong> She asked him as they traversed farther into the ship, so far without any resistance. She pondered on what it could be, maybe some sort of ancient data cache, or relics from a lost age. It was all very exciting to her, but she kept her excitement from building. She knew she didn't have to realize she was using her abilities, to actually use them, and the more she kept her emotions in line the less likely she was to do something on accident.

				Markus continued his insistent typing, knowing they were on a time limit to get inside the strange vessel. It didn't take him long luckily; it seemed they had put too much money into their cloaking and shields to bother with a better bay code. <em>Skimping in the wrong area...</em> He thought with amusement, though that turned around when RW began to swoop them into the docking bay. Just the sight of it from outside the starshield told him this wasn't going to be easy; it wasn't that they had skimped, it was that they weren't worried about being boarded. <br><br>Markus took the time he needed to chart out the multiple doorways at the docking bay, the very reason he suspected trouble. It could end up like a maze; easy for the enemies to corner them in, but hard to traverse. They would certainly need to be careful. With that thought he let the cockpit doors open, and hopped down below with his apprentice. She seemed excited about the mission; a good thing really. Though it seemed she didn't notice the trouble they might be in for yet, so he'd have to give her a briefing on how corridors like these could pose a problem. <br><br>Before Markus could get to that, Alainia asked a question that made him forget. That caused him to smirk slightly, and he shook his head at her curiosity. <strong>"Could be quite a few things. Beskar steel, or mandalorian steel if you will. That alloy is very rare, and would be closely guarded. Otherwise it could be any number of the rare crystals that are used as the components for weapons."</strong> He explained, but then his features turned a little harsher. <strong>"Could also be war droids; an army."</strong> He mentioned that part with a little more worry, but shook his head. <strong>"The important thing is we find it; and dispose of it if needed."</strong> He finished with a nod, and gave her a soft smile. <br><br>Markus didn't realize how far they had traveled while he had been speaking. They had already passed the docking bay, and were now in the inner corridors. The structure looked qaudanium from his judging; meaning it's integrity would be certain. It was also the favored material of the sith, giving more merit to his assumption. <strong>"Qaudanium steel; someone planned for this ship to see war."</strong> Markus explained as they came to a shut door with barely audible sounds penetrating past it. If sound was coming through it must have been loud, and it sounded like the chime of voices meaning someone was yelling. Though the alarms hadn't sounded, so they obviously hadn't noticed the two yet. <br><br><strong>"People are behind those doors. I doubt we've come upon anyone too important yet, but they might be a decent place to start gathering information."</strong> He said, and began pressing keys on the pad, trying to gain entrance past the door. He had always had a natural gift with technology, something he and his master shared in common. It didn't take but a few moments for him to crack the code on the door, and he pressed the entrance key; making it slide only halfway open. <strong>"Use the force to stop them if they try to sound for help."</strong> He whispered to her, and peered out for the first sign of the ships inhabitants.

				Alainia walked on, making her way through the intricate corridors that seemed to just bend around one another, but she wasn't too worried. She knew where she was going, and while she didn't have a full map in her head, she knew the path to take. Though when Markus explained what he thought was being shielded, she rolled her eyes. <em>It has to be a weapon? Boys and their toys...</em> She thought sarcastically, she was pretty certain that she wasn't the only one who thought of things other than weapons, and she knew for a fact that information could be far more valuable than even the strongest alloys in the world. <br><br>She managed to push that from her mind by the time they reached the door, and he mentioned the qaundanium. She took a second to look at the walls and floor, and blinked at the fact that he was right. <em>Maybe it is a weapon, then...</em> Alainia's disappointed thought spread through her, and another one followed it shortly. <em>The sith must be male, always thinking of the hard way to defeat an adversary.</em> Her thoughts were quite condescending towards the opposite sex, but at this point she was just calling them as she seen them.<br><br>Alainia watched as Markus worked on opening the door, and kept her silence hearing the people on the other side and not wanting that to a be two way street. She listened to Markus's instructions, keeping her mind calm, and spirit focused. She could still feel the presence from her projection, and was beginning to wonder if she hadn't retreated fast enough. Pushing that thought from her mind she prepared herself for her assault on the individuals behind the door, and watched as Markus was almost done opening it. <br><br>The door slid up and she heard the talking stop, before one of the men told one of the others to go check it out. The one giving orders was her first target, and so she stepped from the side of the door, and raised her hand. A ripple through the air appeared before her, and the man that had been giving orders was knock back against a wall. Two of the men standing beside him were thrown from their feet, while the others began to go for their blaster. That same hand stayed raised however, and yet another ripple of energy shot forth, but this time it was aimed at the ceiling causing the lights to go out. Alainia moved in the split second of hesitation they had, and the light from their blasters flared around her.<br><br>She was ready to take them all down by the time the backup lights switched on, but that presence caused her to hesitate. She felt her body tighten, and her mind became blurry. She realized that she was under this siths influence, and while she had fought it off so far, he had just been waiting for her to let her guard down, but he was overextended, or at least she hoped he was. They were half a ship away from one another, and he was managing to press through the defenses she had built around her mind. Jedi were almost immune to force influence over the mind, and even someone as young as her had built defenses around their mind just in case. <br><br>Alainia pooled her energy seeing as she wasn't going to be able to do anything more here, and felt her own presence leave her body. She felt herself being pulled to whoever had been trying to control her, and soon she could see him. <em>Damn he's ugly!</em> She thought, but she could tell he hadn't figured out what was wrong yet. He was still trying to understand what had happened, and a smirk crossed her lips before she extended her will and he went flying across the bridge. She felt her presence zip back to her form, and a slight throbbing on her head had her realizing that she'd fallen and hit her head on a crate. <br><br><strong>"Sorry, Master. He had a hold of me for a second, I'll be more careful in the future."</strong> She explained as she picked herself up from the floor, and shook her head as she looked around at the damage he had caused. <strong>"He was aware of us the entire time, and whatever he did to get in my head was a trap set for me."</strong> She said, still trying to figure out exactly what he had done to take control of her body. That was what it had to be, he wasn't that much better than she was, so he couldn't have possibly taken over her mind.
