The Force fills him...he feels like he could move the whole mountain.

Feeling more confident with Gert's boost, Mara attempts to locate the remaining five traps. She closes her eyes and stretches out once again to the Force. She finds the first one easily and sends it to Luke: One about a half meter above the crack.
Finding the other four prove to be more difficult and soon Mara can feel sweat beginning to pour down her face. Finally she finds them: One high and to the right, another high and to the left, one low and to the right, and last one is low and to the left.
Relaxing slightly, she steps back and lets Luke do his thing.

The battle meditation allows Luke to "see" the traps as Mara finds them. Standing back out of Pappy's way, Luke finds a position and begins to seek out the traps one by one. He can see each and every part of each and every one of the traps. Deciding to be better safe than sorry he disassembles them one by one. The Force tell Luke which of the parts to move. He moves the parts away from each other, beginning with the trigger mechanisms, making them jigsaw puzzles. First the one about a half meter above the crack. He renders them useless one after another. One high and to the right, another high and to the left, one low and to the right, and last one is low and to the left. All of them disarmed and in pieces.
"Is that it Red? Just the six?"

Mara searches the wall with the Force to double check, then turns to Luke. "Yeah, that's all of them."

"OK Pappy, all clear. Go ahead."

As he hears Luke and Mara agree that's all he needs to hear and throws everything he has at the wall....and it starts to shift. Drawing deeper on the Force he pushes. Remembering the train from his days in the Stalkers and having to carry a 400 pound log from a wroshyr tree....and pushes harder. It slides further and further back. Time has no meaning and suddenly he hears a click. The wall is locked in place. "Well that was easy" and wipes the sweat from his brow. "Everyone ready to see what's here?"

She opens her eyes almost sleepily. "Are we there yet dad?" She looks at her husband with an amused spark in her eye. You've asked worse of me. At least no one needed limbs reattached."
As she says this she gets up and dusts herself off. She had the forethought to wear leggings under her tunic instead of her usual shorts, but they were black and now covered in dust and grime.

"That's why we came here Pap." Luke reaches into the travel bag and grabs a glow stick. He snaps it and activates it. He looks to the others, then starts toward the entrance, wondering what they will find inside.

He takes a deep breath and falls in step behind Luke "I sure hope it's something useful." and pulls a glow rod out of his back pocket and lights it.

Mara follows Luke inside the cave, a small smile is the only indication to the excitement she's feeling.

She watches he others enter. When none of them lose their heads from a booby trap like and old Face Loran holo she follows suit.

Leading the way, Luke follows the path hewn out of rock. After a short walk they enter a large chamber. It is about the size of a lecture hall at the Temple. Their glow rods not illuminating the entire cavern. Luke motions for them to fan out, hopefully to light more of the chamber.
As they separate, Luke notices all of the walls are lined with shelves. On these shelves were various shaped objects. Luke picks one up and opens himself up to the Force. Images pour forth and he realizes what it is. He shuts it down and excitedly exclaims. "It's Jedi HOLOCRONS, and there must be hundreds of them by the look of things."
"Pappy, this is one of the most important finds in the New Jedi Order history. Congratulations!"

He walks around and shakes his head...He wonders if he will ever know what his father really did....or who he was. He pulls out his saber and ignites it. It's bright yellow glow brightens the place up...and Luke is right there are hundreds. "Luke...the Force and some good old fashioned luck brought us here. I can take no credit for this other than to say thanks to my father...and Master Yoda and Master Windu for their foresight to hide these here."

She looks around in awe, eventually she picks one of the holocrones up and smiles at the jedi master who greets her from it. Jocasta Nu. A legendary librarian and her first thought is of Bron who will love going through the files in this one. She laughs a little because she has the same hair style ad the elderly woman greeting her.

Mara looks around in amazement at the hundreds of holocrons. She walks over to the wall to get a better look at one. "Guess the Emperor wasn't as thorough as he thought," she mutters to herself with a strange sense of satisfaction.
