A huge ship comes out of hyperspace, as Vice Admiral Thorne comes on the bridge.
Nav Officer “Sir we just arrived at Yavin 4 sir.”
Vice Admiral Thorne looks over and nods
“Make sure the weapons are offline and the shields are down. Open a comlink to security. I don’t want they to think that they are under attack, all I need at this moment. A missing Kage and four Star Destroyers.”
Com Officer “Channel open sir.”
Thorne “This is Vice Admiral Thorne on board the Flagship SSD God’s Hand. We come in peace, we are looking to see if the Kage of the Grey Jedi Order was here. Please reply, we are now a full stop with weapons and shields off line.”
Vice Admiral Thorne place his arms behind his back, he hated the fact the he was looking for the one he was suppose to be protecting. He looks out at the view screen as he waits for a reply.

As the huge ship comes out of hyperspace the planetary alarm sounds. Security officers scramble to their posts on alert, they are unusually tense after having to deal with the Imperial fleet just a short time ago.
When the ship opens a channel and the officer in charge, Lt.Tania Skayanova, a dark auburn haired career military woman from a prominent military family on Bakura is on duty. She is a slightly hard nosed officer but is an honest and fair one. She served with Master Nick Cousland and is completely loyal to him. She switched to work in Temple security when Nick became a Jedi to continue serving with him. She listens to the following.
“This is Vice Admiral Thorne on board the Flagship SSD God’s Hand. We come in peace, we are looking to see if the Kage of the Grey Jedi Order was here. Please reply, we are now a full stop with weapons and shields off line.”
She answers with the following.
Vice Admiral Thorne I'm glad to hear your attentions are peaceful, sir. But I'm afraid we can't help you. We haven't seen or heard from the Kage since he visited with Master Windancer here a couple of months ago.
Unless Master Windancer has heard from him privately since then we have no news of him, I'm sorry sir.
But I can give you Master Windancer's comm number so you can contact her to see if he has talked with her if you wish, sir. She is not here at the present time or I would put you in touch with her directly. I know she would wish to help you find him.

Thorne looks at the image as he slowly places his hand on his chin, thinking.
"Couple months ago, that could mean he is in trouble. He would never go this long without contact to the Order."
He looks back up and nods
"Lt. Skayanova, thank you for answering our call. Sorry but this is the only ship that was available to us. Jedi Master Windancer you say, hmm I heard Kage Dooku speak of her often. Please send her comlink to my secureline."
He hit a couple buttons then send the line information to LT Skayanova.
"Once again thank you. We will leave once I get word from Master Windancer, we will continue to leave shields and weapons off line until we depart."
Thorne sits down and starts going over the information

After dinner Cait helps clean up and then excuses herself so she can contact Nick on Yavin IV and let him know her change of plans.
She tells Takeda, "Yes but I need to let my cousin know first, give me a few minutes to contact Nick then we can do that."
When she does she gets a surprise. Someone was about to contact her looking for Corey Dooku.
Security? This Master Cait Windancer may speak to Master Nick Cousland please?
A relieved Lt. Skayanova to Cait. Master Windancer? I'm glad you called ma'am. There is someone here who wishes to speak to you urgently. I was just going to give them your comm number so they could contact you.
Tania? Whenever you call me Master Windancer I know something major has happened. I suppose if they want to talk to me urgently you better patch me through to them.
Yes, ma'am right away. A very relieved Tania says.
Tania to the Vice Admiral on his secureline.
Sir, Master Windancer has just called to check in and I have told her you wish to speak with her. I have her on the line I'm patching her through to you now.
Tania to Cait. Master Windancer , Vice Admiral Thorne of the Grey Jedi. Go ahead Ma'am. Then Lt Skayanova gets off the line.
Vice Admiral Thorne how may I help you? Lt. Skayanova said you want to talk to me and it was urgent?

Thorne gets up after hearing Master Windancer over the comlink, he ran his hand down his uniform making sure it was straight.
"Master Windancer, its an honor to speak with you. Kage Dooku spoke highly of you, but the reason I am here is that the Kage and his living ship are missing. (paused) He told me that he was first going to see if he could find any more Grey Jedis and to see if Jedi Order and the Grey were still allies. The last word I got was when Admiral Lee took for ships to see about repairs but she did not say where they were going. I found that very odd, but Kage Dooku does things differently than most. But never mind that issue, but for the Admiral to leave without saying where is very odd. I am quite sure Kage Dooku was behind it."
Then he places one hand on his chin as he looks at the image of Master Windancer
"So that is why we are here now wondering if you had any ideal on where me could have went."
Thorne lower his arms placing them to his side as he was waiting and hoping Master Windancer could give them a good lead.

The honor is mine Vice Admiral. That was kind of Corey to say.
Corey and Selena are missing?! That is not good news.
Yes, he came here for a little while and the answer to his question was yes we were still allies. But that was months ago. It was right around the time Markon Starkiller was going on his rampages. Let me think... I... believe.. yes.. now I remember.. he suddenly got a message then left but he didn't say where he was going. I haven't heard from him since then unless he left me message after I left Yavin IV. Just a moment let me check if I have any messages from him. There is silence for a few minutes then she comes back on the line her voice is worried. No...nothing from him. That's odd. He said he would contact me.
Did you say that Admiral Lee went somewhere to get ships repaired? Cait remembers what is happening on Kuat and gets a very bad feeling. I don't know for sure but I think I might know where he went. I have a bad feeling about this but is it possible that he went to Kuat? If he did he might be in big trouble if the news reports from there are any indication. The planet is in total lock-down. No space traffic in or out of the system until further notice. The planet's space array was under attack according to the news reports by unknown ships.
Have you thought of sending a message directly to Selena? She might be able to tell you what is going on.

Throne listens to Master Windancer, and Corey was right to try to contact her first. Then his mind wondered about the attack on Kuat by unknown ships, and their ships might have when there. He places a hand on his chin and still heavy in deep thought. He looks back up to Master Windancer.
"Master Windancer, we have tried to contact Selena but got nothing. I afraid that she is either being jammed or she is unable to. But Kuat was under attack, hmm if I was a beating man. I would say Kage Dooku is in the middle of this. (laughs slightly) You know he still jumps in feet first before he knows what he would getting into. I warned him one day that we would not be able to assist, and I am afraid my statement had come true."
He turns to NAV control Officer
"OK, plot a course to Kuat. Communication Officer contact Kuat Security that we are looking for Kage Dooku and if they need any assistance we cn be there in no time."
Com Officer "Yes Sir."
Thorne turns back to Master Windancer image.
"Thank you Master Windancer, we will contact Kuat to see if they seen him and see if there is anything we could do to help. Once we get word, we will inform you and then we will live orbit. Once again thank you for your assistance."
Thorne looks at the communication officer.

VIce Admiral Thorne sits down after a brief talk with Kuati, he places one hand his armrest and leans back in his chair. He points at the Nav Officer and tells him to plot a new course back home.
"We need moe ships to do this mission, one lone SSD will not be able to cover much space. The rest of the ships are not ready but on the way back home, deploy probes and let them send in reports if they find Selena or Master Dooku. Connect me back to Lt.Tania Skayanova or Master Windancer."
Com Officer "Sir the channel is open, voice only sir."
Thorne "Master Windancer and Lt.Tania Skayanova, thank you for your assistance, but KDY have not seen Master Dooku or Selena. We are headed back home to deploy more ships to help spread our search. Until next time, Master Windancer MTFBWY."
Thorne stand up and straigten his uniform.
"Turn us about, once we break orbit best speed back home."
God's Hand turns and slowly pulls away from Yavin 4, then jumps to hyperpace.

Cait looks concerned when Thorne says they tried to contact Selena and couldn't get her.
That is not good. I agree something must be blocking or jamming her communications. I hope she is not unconscious that would be very bad.
That wouldn't even be a bet Vice Admiral. Corey has a way of being in the middle of Chaos or creating it.
Yes, I know he does. *She shakes her head but smiles* That's Corey for you.
If you don't mind me saying Vice Admiral I hope you are wrong. I would hate for anything bad to happen to him.
You're welcome. I wish had been able to be more helpful. His disappearance has me concerned.
Let me know what you find out please.
**************************************
Later....
From Lt. Skayanova.
You're welcome, Sir. And good luck with your search.
You're welcome Vice Admiral Thorne. They haven't seen him? Are they sure? Cait's voice is worried.
Something is not right.
I might see if I can find out something from Kuat. I will contact you if I find out anything.
Thank you and the same to you. She says as the God's Hand jumps into hyperspace.
I hope they find Corey and Selena.
She says to herself after they leave.
Cait then asks Tania to patch her through to Nick.
Put me through to Nick will you Tania?
Yes, Ma'am right away.
She then patches Cait through to where Nick is in the command center.
Hey Nick I thought I give you an update. We just left Coruscant and are now on our way to Obra-skai. We might go to Kuat next if they are allowing flights in by then. I want to check on something. I'm sure you are aware by now of our visitor in orbit. It was a Grey Order ship looking for Corey. It seems that he is missing.
If you hear anything in regards to Corey or his ship Selena's whereabouts would you please contact Vice Admiral Thorne of the Grays on his ship the God's Hand. Tania has his information.
So how are things going there?

 SSD God's Hand comes out of hyperspace. Thorne orders the ship keep shields and weapons off line. "Open a channel, Comm Officer." THe Comm Officer opens a channel for Vice Admiral Thorne. "Sir channel open, the Jedi Order will be able to hear your request sir." Thorne stands, placing his arms to his side. "This is Vice Admiral Thorne again of the Grey Jedi Order. I would like to request to see Jedi Master Windancer if possible." He stands looking out at the planet as he waits. |

Aboard the Executor Class SSD Normandy, Admiral Elissa Cousland looks up from her console in time to see the SSD appear out of hyperspace.  Curious she stands up and looks at her Lieutenant. "Lieutenant, run a scan of that ship, and raise shields. Have weapons on standby and open a comm to them." The Lieutenant nods his head. "Aye ma'am." He looks down at his console and then back up at her. "Ma'am, that appears to be the same ship that was here a while ago. The one looking for that Grey Jedi Kage." He pushes a button. "Shields are up and weapons at standby. And also, they're hailing us."Elissa nods her head. "The God's Hand. I thought as much. Very well Lieutenant. Open the channel." The Lieutenant nods his head indicating the channel open. She hears the Vice Admiral's request and clears her throat before talking. "Vice Admiral, this is Admiral Elissa Cousland of the Jedi Order Defense Fleet. I welcome you to Yavin IV but regret to inform you the Master Windancer has still not returned to Yavin as of yet. Our records indicate that she is enroute to Kuat as we speak." |

Vice Admiral Thorne looks at the view screen an see Admiral Coursland, he salutes giving respect to her title and position.
"Admiral Coursland, our shields and weapons are off line. Hmm, she on her way to Kuat. That might be a small problem for us. We contacted Kuat and was told to mind our own business. Then I contacted Grand Admiral Tuulk of the RGE and he has Kage Dooku. "
Thorne places on hand on his chin thinking and then lowering it.
"Admiral Coursland, would you mind contacting Jedi Master Windancer and ask her to let the Kauti officals know that God's Hand is coming there to pick her up?"
Thorne turns towards the view screen to see her reaction to his request.

She raises an eyebrow. "Hold on a second. The Reconstructed Galactic Empire has your Kage. Why in the Force would they have him for." She sighs. "This is going to be difficult to retrieve him. Surely you must understand this."
She nods her head when he mentions their shields and weapons. "Understood Vice Admiral. I'm just following orders from the Council. Don't worry, we won't show agression to you."
She crosses her arms over her chest and looks at the Vice Admiral. "Well, I can try to raise her on comms. Give me a few minutes if you would."
She walks over to her command chair and sits down. She activates a personal comm and tries to contact Cait, but for some reason can't get through. Curious, she tries contacting her brother and manages to get him on the line.
"Elissa, what is it? What's going on?" Nick's voice is heard through the comm.
"Nick, the Grey Order SSD is here in orbit again, and they're Vice Admiral needs to get hold of Cait. They need her to help them get their Kage back."
The sound of amusement is heard in Nick's voice. "I figured as much. Inform their Vice Admiral that Cait and Takeda are currently in the process of locating and recovering the Kage as we speak." He sighs. "Also, I'll let Cait know that she needs to contact Kuati officials and let them know about them."
Elissa nods her head. "Understood. Thanks brother. Over and out."
She turns off her personal comm and stands up. She walks back over to the viewer. "Vice Admiral. I have spoken with Master Cousland and he told me to inform you that Master Windancer and the one known as Takeda are currently trying to locate and recover your Kage. Also that he would remind Cait to contact the Kuati to your request."

After taking off and flying low over the jungles of the planet he makes his way around the far side and dives the ship into a canyon that has a river running through it. Slowing and making a turn he enters a cavern and settles down. After a few minutes he starts back up but has engaged the ion suppressors and paramagnetic paint. He slowly backs out of the cavern as to not disturb anything and then slowly makes his way into orbit. As he comes around the planet he sees for the second time in as many weeks capitol ships in orbit around Yavin IV. The Mjolnir is cloaked and awaiting the alarm should they need to evacuate.
He brings the Stalker past the ships and listens to the com chatter between them and the ground. as the head of security he is frustrated that all of the visitors feel the need to bring capitol ships to visit the Jedi. As he flies by the ships he makes a mental note to talk to Luke and see if the Hapan's will allow us to use the transitory mist facility again. At least this way it would be easier to remain safe from an attack.
He turns the ship away from the visitors and heads back around the planet and enters the atmosphere on the far side and arrives back at the cavern. he immediately turns off the ion suppressors and paramagnetic paint and heads back to the Temple.

Thorne turns to as he hears that Master Windancer is on her way to help assist with getting Kage Dooku. His thoughts are wondering if it was wise to head that way with what he remembered what Grand Admiral Tuulk said about the allegations. Kage Dooku tried to destroy KDY, he assumed that was what the Tuulk wanted to say.
“Admiral, I think its best for us to wait from Jedi Master Windancer before we even head to Kuat space. I fear the Kage, might has gotten the Grey Order a bad rep until we can prove he done no wrong. If you don’t mind I would like to request that we head to another section of Yavin 4 to finish up repairs to God’s Hand before we have to head out to pick up either the Kage or Jedi Master Windancer.”
He sits down and picks up a datapad looking at the repairs stil needed to bring the ship to 100 percent.
