He stands at the front of the Temple....after many Milena the Order is abandoning this edifice and moving the temple from Coruscant. The Jedi Council felt the need to move away from galactic politics and get back to basics. So he was called upon the order to transport all the items from the temple to it's new home on Yavin IV. As the last of the shuttles take off for Mjolnir he hangs a sign on the door....it reads Closed for remodeling....Coming soon .....Starbucks He climbs into the last shuttle and heads up to Mjolnir.

*Cate along with Nick and Colin get an air-taxi in front of the Spire to go to the old Temple.
It drops them off close to the Jedi Temple grounds.
Cate pays the fare and walks toward the Temple.
She watches carefully making sure no one is looking and teleports herself, Colin and Nick to the Meditation garden.*
Well, here we are.
Let's get this done so we can go home.

*He looks around and nods his head.*
Yeah, let's deal with the stone and then I'll get Kaden's crystal casket.
*He sighs quietly and walks in the direction of the Gol'eau stone.*

*Cate walks up next to Nick, followed by Colin.
Cate puts her hand on Nick's arm and looks up into his face.*
If you want to find her crystal first this can wait until we are done with the other things.
It's going to take some time to bulid up enough energy to teleport the G'oleu.
*She turns to Colin.*
We will need a way to transport Kaden's body do you have something we could use for that?
*Colin nods*
Let me contact the ship.
* Colin To Nick*
Do you want to take her on your ship?
Or shall we do it?

*He looks at Cate and nods his head.*
Alright. We'll retrieve Kaden first and then the stone.
*He looks at Colin.*
We can use your ship. That's fine Colin. I'll just program the Redemption to head back to Yavin.
*He taps a few keys on his wrist computer and nods his head.*
Now, let's retrieve that casket.
*He walks around the garden until he arrives near the tree that he had planted. He closes his eyes and concentrates slightly.*
I found her. She's buried near the tree I planted.
*He sighs softly.*

Alright Nick.
Kaden, crystal, G'oleu.
*She gives him a hug in sympathy knowing that is hard for him to do.*
*Colin to Nick*
Sure Nick. I will let the Ithilnaur know.
*He then contacts his ship to tell them what he needs.*
They are ready whenever we are.
*Cate watches while Nick locates Kaden's casket with a solemn expression.
When he says he found it, she walks over to him and puts her arms around him to comfort him.*
Are you up to this?
Colin and I can do if you want.
*She puts a hand on the tree and smiles.*
I remember when you planted this.
Do you want to take it with us?
We can if you want.
*Colin walks up and stands on the other side of Nick.
He stands quietly waiting.*

*He smiles softly and hugs her back.*
I can take care of it Cate.
*He grins slightly when she mentions the tree.*
Yeah, we can take it with us. I'd like that. I used to climb into its branches to think. It was relaxing.
*He sighs softly and closes his eyes and taps into the Force. He extends his hands in front of him, palms up. He begins to use the Force and locks onto the casket containing Kaden's body. He lifts using the Force and the casket begins to rise out of the ground. After several minutes the casket is on the surface. Nick quietly opens his eyes and then walks over to the casket. He begins to wipe away the mud and dirt away from the casket. Tears begin to slowly fall down his face.*

As you wish, Cousin.
*She start to step to one side to give him room.
When he says he wants to take the tree with them, she stops and smiles.*
Good, it is a great tree.
It should have a good home.
*She gives the tree a tender pat before she steps back.
She watches as Nick brings the casket to the surface with sad, solemn expression that is echoed on Colin's face.
She follows Nick and puts a hand on his back when he starts to cry.
There are tears streaming down her face as she looks down at Kaden.*
She hasn't changed.
She still as beautiful.
Let's take her home.
We can teleport her directly onto the ship.
*To Colin*
Where on the ship do you want her Col?
*Colin to Cate*
I thought the gardens would be appropriate.
*Cate smiles through her tears.*
Good choice Col.
She would have liked that.
*To Nick*
Are you ready?
Or do you want a moment?
*She pats his back in a comforting gesture.*

*He stops crying and looks down at Kaden's still beautiful face.*
I'll always love you ad'ika. Ni kar'tayli gar darasuum. Always. Be at peace my love.
*He quietly whispers and then clears his throat and looks at Cate and Colin.*
I'm okay. Let's get her on board and then finish up here.
*He smiles sadly and nods his head.*

*Cate nods and Colin looks away trying to keep the tears from showing on his face.
He wipes his eyes and turns back.*
We need to join hands and feed our energy to Colin.
He will do the actual teleportation because he knows where he wants to put the casket on the ship.
It will be good practice for when we teleport the G'oleu.
*She takes Colin's right hand and Nick's left hand.
She closes her eyes and concentrates.
She allows the Force to flow through her to Colin.
Colin's eyes are closed as well as he concentrates and visualizes the gardens on the Ithilnaur.
The casket begins to glow.*

*Nick nods his head and feels Cate take his left hand and Colin take his right hand. He closes his eyes and begins to concentrate into the Force and then transfers it to Colin. After a few minutes, Colin focuses and then teleports the casket safely aboard the Ithilnaur. Colin looks at Cate and Nick and nods his head.*
Teleportation complete. Now, let's get Nick's tree and stone transported as well and then get off this rock.
*He grins slightly. Nick chuckles and shakes his head.*
Thanks Colin. Let's wrap this stuff up.

A lone figure walked slowly up the Processional staircase of the old abandoned Temple. He was a tall man, 6'2, but very lean. He face was shrouded by a Jedi cloak, pale gray to the point where it was almost white. The rest of his body was hidden beneath it, except for his long lens, encased in black armor plates with elaborate trace-work that shone bright silver when it caught the light. He stopped when he reached the massive door, now sealed and covered with a fine layer of gray dust from the cities pollution. one of his arms came up, this too sheathed in armor, and pulled the hood back so he could get a closer look.
He was a young man, mid 20's, but his eyes looked so much older. His hair was deep black, shaved close to his head on the sides but worn very long on top, pulled back in to a single, thick braid that ran from the crown of his head down his neck and hung down almost to his shoulders. The left side of his face looked strange, a spider web of very thin metal implants circling around his eye and flowing almost at random back down the side towards his neck.
He just stood there for a long moment, his face expressionless, then turned on his heel and started back the way he came. It would appear much has changed in the Order since his departure from Coruscant.

You're Welcome, Nick.
*Colin gives him friendly slap on the shoulder.*
*To Cate*
So how do you want to transport the tree?
*Cate doesn't answer him right away looking at the tree, thinking.*
We will need a container to put it in.
What do we have on the ship that could hold it?
We need something big enough to hold the roots and the soil without restricting it too much.
*Colin to Cate*
Hmmmmmmmm. Good question.
*He thinks a moment then snaps his fingers.*
Got it!
*He concentrates and moments later a very large flat container filled with dirt appears in a empty space on the grass.*
How about this?
Perfect, Colin.
*Cate smiles in approval.*
My turn now, I guess.
*Cate takes out the small G'oleu crystal from under her tunic.
She holds it in her hand and concentrates until it starts to glow then pulsate with light.
She then starts humming then singing.
She walks to the tree and lays her left hand on the tree while cupping the crystal in her right.
A glow of light surrounds her then the tree.
Her tone of voice becomes commanding and the tree shimmers with light and begins to rise out of the earth with the ground around the tree coming with it.
It floats up and moves toward the container, leaving a large hole where it had been in the garden.
It drifts slowly down into the container and settles softly inside.
The earth in the container settles around the tree and its roots.
Cate ceases singing and the light around her and the tree goes out.*
There step one done.
Now we need to teleport this onto the ship.
The same procedure as before?
*She looks at Colin, then Nick.
Colin says.*
Yep, I had them clear a space in the gardens.
*Colin walks over and takes Cate's left hand in his right.*
*Colin To Nick*
Coming Cousin?
*He holds out his left hand to Nick.*

*He watches quietly as the tree rises out of the ground.*
Woah. Now that was awesome.
*He grins and takes Colin's hand.*
Let's do this.
*He concentrates into the Force, joining with Cate and Colin. Several minutes later, the tree vanishes from its current location, as it teleports aboard the Ithilnaur.*
Well, now time for the stone and then homeward bound.

*Cate smiles at Nick.*
That was the hard part.
Now comes a hard part but not so hard as this.
*She pats the tree affectionately then takes Colin's hand again.*
It is happy to be going with you Cousin.
It likes you.
*She chuckles*
It told me it like when you sit in its branches to meditate.
I think it likes the Force that flows from you when you do.
Now let's do this indeed.
Everytime we do this it should get easier and the bond between us gets stronger.
*She closes her eyes and concentrates the Force flows from her into Colin.
The container and the tree begin to glow as the Force flows from the three of them to it in preparation for the teleport.
Colin concentrates and gathers in the incoming energy and visualizes the spot where he took the container from and moving it back to the ship with the tree in it.
The tree and container shimmers and disappears.
Colin says when he senses the tree is aboard the ship.*
Teleportation complete.
Now what?
*They drop hands. Cate says.*
Like Nick said now the stone then homeward bound.
We need to contact someone in law enforcement about what happened at the Spire.
And assign someone to look into the matter unless you want to do it ourselves Cousin?
*Cate looks at Nick.
She doesn't particularly want to do it.
But will do so if no one else will.
Though that type of investigation is not her strongpoint.*
