Putting the data pad away he places glow rods around the area. "According to what Boomer said it's about 3/4's of a click in...As long as we can get a read on the glyphs We can return back here so I can run them through the data base I have. I have a gut feeling if we force our way in we could lose whatever it is that's here." Grabbing his bag and shouldering it he snaps on his glow rod and heads down the passage way.

"I'll take your word for it, Pap. Lead the way."
Mara takes her pack off her shoulders and hands it to Luke. "It's aaaall yours, Luke." She stretches out the muscles in her shoulders a bit.

Luke takes the pack and puts it on his back. "Thanks Red." He stretches forward and back, getting used to the weight. He follows the others deeper into the cave.

He understands why Boomer chose this place. It's relatively hidden from the air. The entrance is easy to defend, and as they go further in there are many switchbacks. There is also a source of water flowing down one of the side branches. Reaching the glyphs he shines the light from the glow rod on them. He drops the bag and pulls out a holo camera and gets detailed pics. Once he is done he replaces the camera. He reaches out and touches the wall and is staggered......A powerful Force vision of someone in Jedi robes is carving them in the stone....he feels a sense of familiarity and then....the figure stops and turns towards him and he loses the vision as he lands on his backside on the ground....shaking he mumbles to himself...."it can't be...."

Mara feels the surge of Force energy as Pap falls to the ground. "Whoa, you okay, Pappy?"

Luke senses the surge, then the surprise and familiarity of Pap through the Force. He goes over to him. "Are you OK?"

Feeling her husband's distress as if it were her own she rushes to his side and puts a gentle hand on his arm. "Pappy? what is it? What did you see?"

Looking up at Mara, he wonders if she ever knew their father....for now though he keeps the thought to himself "Yes...I'm fine...it was a Jedi Master who made these. I think this has ties to the old Jedi Council. Whatever is here dates back to just before Order 66." He stands up and brushes himself off. "I think I have enough to start a translation. Come on we can make camp just inside the entrance for tonight. I'm sure my wife would love to wow you with her grilling skills."
As he walks back he wonders what in the world his father was up to....and what could possibly be hidden here.

Knowing him well enough to know he's not being entirely honest she keeps her own council on what she believes he saw. No ordinary Jedi would give him that reaction. It was someone special.
"I'll grab the camp grill. Nerf sizzlers and mixed veggies good with everyone?" she asks as she gets out the grill pan and a bag of pre-cut assorted vegetables of a rainbow of colors.

Luke is not satisfied with Pappy's answer. He is hiding something. He decides to let it go for now. Obviously Pap had a good reason for doing so. And he will reveal it when the time is right.
He follows Pappy back to the entrance and begins to make camp. Luke breaks out the camp supplies that Mara packed. He gives her the bedroll, using his cloak for himself.
"Thanks Gert," as Luke takes a plate of food from her. "It smells great." Luke hands it to Mara, then takes another for himself.

Frowning, Mara looks at Pappy and stretches out with the Force to get a sense of exactly what he saw. She gets nothing, his barriers are too strong.
She returns to the designated camp area and helps Luke set up their camp. "You can have the bedroll tomorrow night, or we could share, it looks big enough."
Mara follows her nose to the food and grabs a plate. "Thanks for cooking, Gert."

He heads outside to the Stalker...grabbing the bed rolls and portable generator he loads it on the small hover sled. Confident no one followed him he coms VF-84 "Yes master Kenobi?" Pappy sighs...."Get me everything you can find on my father and the last year of mission logs of the Shadows just before Order 66...And deliver it here to me at these co-ordinates" He sends an encrypted signal to the droid. And make sure you use one of the stealth shuttles." He breaks the com signal and heads back to the cave after setting the security on the ship. "Well here we go all the comforts of home." He sets up the generator first then hooks up the portable fridge and the field fresher...complete with waste recyclers and shower. he then strings some lights and sets up Gert and his bed roll.
He starts working on the pictures he took trying to translate them.

"Alright Red, we can try sharing." Luke manages between bites. "This is good Gert. Thanks again."
Once he's cleaned his plate off and returned it to the proper place, he turns to Mara. "Ready for bed Red." Luke grins at the rhyme.

She smiles and shrugs. "No biggie guys, it's just prepackaged thin sliced pressed nerf and some stuff I found in the bottom of the veggie bin at the tap caf." She grins at their green expressions. "Just kidding, I pulled it from the shuttle when it came in to supply us, the rest is from the temple veggie patch." She grins. "We have fresh gornt eggs for breakfast tomorrow."
She looks over the bed roll. One of us is going to be over warm by the morning she bets.

He eats his dinner and pours over the data...he probably won't sleep tonight.
