Massassi Temple

[Caitlin Windancer]

I'm sure it will and who knows he might find out something more important than what he is looking for.

Yeah, I know. It does always seem to find us doesn't it?

Yes, Phedra is here uninvited I might add. She was very stubborn about coming along. You know how she is. She is doing fine.

*chuckles* At least it isn't Eleyn. If she was here I wouldn't get to do anything fun or the least bit dangerous.

No, I don't. *sighs* I never seem to find time to look they keep handing me more paperwork.

*laughs* This is the first time I have traveled in months as you well know. The last time I left Yavin IV was when Markon was causing havoc and I was trying to find his wife and then his son.
If I stayed in any longer on Yavin IV I probably have grown roots.

You want to do me a favor and scout some locations for me?

*She looks surprised at the question.* No, I don't think so. Checked the ship? Foreign device?

*When she hears his next statement she stares at her cousin.* That was Shadow? The one who tried to kill Kaden and you?
*She looks appalled*

If I had known that I would put a foreign device on him. Interesting is right. *Her face is grim* If he is working for RGE then it will be more than interesting. More like tricky and dangerous.

What are you going to do about him Nick? At least you have a place to start looking for him.

[Nick Cousland]

He nods his head. "Well, that's good to hear. I hope everything works out okay for him then."

He chuckles quietly. "What she do, sneak onboard? That sounds about like her." He grins. "That's the truth. If Eleyn was there, you wouldn't be able to do anything you wanted."

He sighs and nods his head. "Yeah, I remember that. I was at there at Mustafar too remember. We all rescued Mara."

He raises an eyebrow. "Sure, I guess I can do that for you. I've got nothing else better to do right now. Where exactly would you like me to look?"

He crosses his arms. "Yeah, check the ship. Foreign device as in a homing beacon. So he could track you guys. If you didn't find anything then that's good."

His eyes darken slightly. "Yeah, that's him. The mir'osik that tried to kill me and Kaden alright."

He sighs and shrugs his shoulders. "I have no idea Cait. If he is working with the RGE, he's going to be nigh untouchable, just like Camulus is now. We'll just have to see how things play out I guess."

[Caitlin Windancer]

I'm sure it will. The Force is strong with Takeda and he certainly knows his own mind which is refreshing to say the least.

*laughs* Yes, I remember you were on Mustafar. Yes, we did and I remember that poor little boy. I still can hear him crying for his mother. That was so sad.
I hope Glow and the child are alright. I haven't heard anything from her but I guess that isn't too surprising if she is still with Markon.

She sighs. That is just a disaster waiting to happen. Sooner or later he is going to get caught. Heaven help him when does because too many people want him dead. The ones I feel sorry for are his wife and child. They are the innocent ones in this.

She starts to tell Nick where she would like him to look when she is interrupted by Phedra. Who comes in and signals that she has something she wishes to say to Cait.

Speaking of Phedra, she just came in and wants to say something to me Nick, hold on a moment while I find out what she wants. It must be important or she wouldn't interrupt me.

In the background is heard the murmur of their voices an occasional word is clear enough to be understood. The names Kuat and Lehon are clearly heard as well as ship and shipyard. After a few moments Cait comes back on the comm-line.

Sorry about that. It seems we have a change of destination. Takeda decided to go straight to Kuat without stopping on Obra-skai. He then wants to go to Lehon to see if he can find some information about his ancestors and the disappearance of most of the Kwa as a race. Phedra tells me they are working out some sort of cover for us to go in under.

Now where were we? Oh yeah.

Location for a home. Somewhere near water, a lake or a stream. Not too far from the temple if you can. I trust your judgment Nick. You will know a good spot when you see it. Now I know that isn't true. You are always busy. But I would appreciate you looking. You could always bring Kaden and the kids with you and make it a family outing or picnic.


I told Phedra to tell Takeda about what you said about checking the ship. I will let him know about Shadow too. The last thing we want is him tracking us. Though all the hopping around we seem to be doing we would probably confuse him.

Just you be careful too. I would like to come home with both you and Kaden in one piece.

She makes a face at the mention Camulus. Don't remind me. We are definitely going have to do something about him soon to protect ourselves if nothing else.

Is there anything else we need to cover? *slaps her forehead* Oh, I almost forgot. Do you remember Gin Xyrin? It seems Takeda has sort of adopted him when we were on Courscant. Or at least given him a temporary place to stay. Gin still is inventing and has some interesting weapons ideas.

[Nick Cousland]

He nods his head listening to her. "I know. I'm sensing Grainne on Kamino currently. Something's big going down over there. It might involve SK, but I'm not too sure. I just hope she knows what she's doing."

He nods his head and leans back in the chair and waits for Cait to finish talking with Phedra. He quietly thinks back on everything that's happened the last few years and smiles softly. In the background, he can hear them speaking but it is faint. He looks up when she comes back online.

He grins and shakes his head. "Its okay Cait. Kuat? Be careful there. I've been hearing reports coming in from the GNN that there's a conflict going on there right now." He crosses his arms. "Lehon? Isn't that where the Star Forge was once at during the Old Republic Jedi Civil War?" He nods his head. "Well, that's good, having some form of cover. Good thinking."

He nods his head. "Sure, no problem. When I get done here at the Command Center, I'll head out and try and find a location. I think I saw something before that looked like a promised location for you." He smirks and then shakes his head. "Heh, seems like I'm always busy. I haven't left planetside since Mustafar and that was what, months ago now?" He grins and nods his head. "Well, of course we'll do that. I'm sure Kaden and the kids would love that."

He nods his head when she mentions Phedra informing Takeda about Shadow. "That's good. If something is going on at Kamino and the Empire, which more than likely is there by now, Shadow will probably be there." He grins. "At least you guys are jumping around everywhere. Makes you hard to track."

He laughs and nods his head. "Well, don't you fear Cousin, we'll be safe and sound here. I just received word that the planetary shields have been fully repaired and are operating at 100% again."

He sighs and takes on a grim look on his face. "I know. We'll deal with him sooner or later. But, it'll be difficult as long as he has ties with the Empire."

He takes a curious look on his face. "Gin? I remember him. I haven't seen him in months. At least not before we relocated the Order here." He nods his head. "I see, that's good. Hmm, still inventing weapons? Maybe we need him to think of something for the Order to use here. Get him to talk to Pappy and Luke whenever you guys get back here."

[Caitlin Windancer]

Grainne is on Kamino? When did she go there? I thought she was on Concord Dawn still. Oh that's just great. I hope she does too.

When she comes back from talking to Phedra.

Yes, we will be careful on Kuat. We don't know yet if they will let us in the system or not. Takeda sent them a message but he hadn't heard from them yet when I was talking to Phedra.

Yes, that has something to do with the Kwa and those that attacked them if I remember right.

As she tries to dredge up the memories of what she read about it.

It has been awhile since I read that particular period of Sidhe history.

*laughs and gives him a mock-curtsy* Thank you, sir. We thought so too.

Yeah, you and me both cousin. Give Kaden and the kids a hug from me when you see them.

I don't know how long I will be gone with this one. The trip seems to be getting longer all the time. But I'm having fun. I haven't had a chance to get away from my paperwork in a while. Though I dread to see my desk when I get back if I can find it. She says with a pretend shudder then a chuckle, only half-joking.

Thank you again Nick. And have a good time looking there is no great rush it is not like I'm going to needing it anytime soon.

I'm glad to hear that. I kind of like the idea of both of you being in one piece.

On hearing the shields are repaired. That's great news at least one worry off my mind.

In regards to Camulus she says.

There is more than one way of "dealing" with him. You might want to have someone contact Coruscant about the theft and murders he did there. Then have them contact Bakura about the murders he did there. See what the status is on the investigation. You might want to have someone drop them a hint where he is? It seems only fair after the fuss the Empire made about you for his so-called murder. Let them deal with that. It might keep him and them out of our hair for awhile.

Yes, Gin. She chuckles. He is still as mischievous as ever. Yes, still inventing. It is the testing he has problems with though he promised not to do that while on Takeda's ship.

Hmmm... that's a good idea I hadn't had thought of having him to talk to Pappy and Luke about his inventions. I'll tell him.

Is there anything else we need to cover? Or shall I say goodbye for now? As she prepares to end the call.

[Nick Cousland]

He nods his head. "At least that's who I thought I sensed on Kamino. Through our bond anyway. Yeah, she's there. Why, I have no idea as of yet."

"Well that's good to know. If you guys need anything, contact me at once and I'll head to your location at once."

He raises an eyebrow. "You think the Rakatans had something to do with the Kwa? Interesting. If you guys get stumped on anything let me know and I'll head there to help you guys out."

He smiles and nods his head. "Don't worry, I will. When I see them. Kaden, I think is out training and the kids are in class at the moment."

He smirks and then grins. "Oh don't worry Cousin. I'll make sure you have a mountain of paperwork to work on by the time you get back." He winks at her to indicate he's joking with her.

He inclines his head. "Don't worry, I will have fun. I just realized something. In all the months we've been here, I have yet to explore the Jungles. I think I'll do that while I look for a spot for your home."

He raises an eyebrow. "Uh, yeah. I like the idea of both of us staying in one piece too Cait. Kaden would agree with me." He laughs quietly.

He crosses his arms again. "That's a good idea. I'll contact Coruscant Security sometime soon and have them contact Bakura to get something going about that." He smirks. "Yeah, kind of hard to arrest someone for their murder when the fool is not even dead."

He laughs then. "I don't blame him. Takeda's just being cautious as all. I'd do the same thing. Well, at least you guys are having fun so far."

He nods his head. "Well, that's good. Who knows, maybe Gin can find someway to strengthen the shields and armaments around here for defenses."

He shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. "Mmm, not that I know of. That's about all that I can think of right now. Anyways, contact me at once if anything happens."

He pauses as he receives a call on his personal comm. "Elissa, what is it? What's going on?"

Elissa's voice is heard through the comm. "Nick, the Grey Order SSD is here in orbit again, and their 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."

"Understood. Thanks brother. Over and out."

He turns off the comms. "Well, you heard everything so, what do you want to do?"

[Caitlin Windancer]

Then you probably did sense Grainne. I hope she is okay. If Markon is there that is bad news. I wonder whatever possessed him to go there of all places that is if he is there.

You better believe we will. That's why I told you so you would know where to find us "if" something happened. I like to be prepared before a situation develops how unlikely it is.

Not so much me as the record and something Takeda said about the records of his people. Thanks Nick I know you are interested in that sort of thing.

Oh, ha, ha very funny Nick. Maybe you should bury or burn it instead. No on second thought don't that might cause an environmental disaster.

Well I'm glad someone is. *She winks to show she is teasing him.* Well it is about time you do then. Get out in nature.

Cait shakes her head. No, Nick don't you do it. Have one of the other Security people handle the call to Courscant and Bakura. I don't want you to be officially involved in case the RGE makes inquiries into who gave Courscant and Bakura the information. Have this be an inquiry from the Order not you. If you get my drift. I don't want this to look like it was personal.

Yes, he had already this partially planned out before we left Coruscant.
He bought Phedra and me disguises. *laughs* You should see them Nick. I wouldn't recognize us.

I will ask Gin about that. Knowing him he will find a way.

Okay if that is it I guess I will let you go then. I will do that.

Just as she is about to disconnect the call she hears Nick's sister voice coming over his personal comm. She listens to the conversation with a raised eyebrow. When he ends the call says.

Now that was interesting. Good question. I'm suppose to be undercover I can't very well give myself away like that. But there must be something we can do. Let me talk it over with Takeda and see what he says. I will let you know if I find out anything. Please have Elissa convey to the Vice Admiral not to come looking for me. That might jeopardize any good I could do in finding and getting Corey back. I will call if I have any news.

Bye Nick. Cait out.

She then disconnects the call.

[Nick Cousland]

Nick nods his head listening to Cait. "That's a good idea. I'll contact someone I know that can help out with this."

He laughs then. "Just make sure that when you guys get back, you're not wearing them here. Otherwise, Temple Security won't know who you are."

He nods his head listening to her. "Alright. That sounds good to me then Cait. I'll see you around later then. Take care and may the Force be with you all."

He smiles when she disconnects the comm unit and then he stands up and powers down the galactic holographic map.

He quietly walks out of the command chamber and walks down the hallway. He boards the turbolift and rides down to the main floor. He exits the lift and then walks out of the Massassi Temple and out into the jungle of Yavin IV.
