Jolee's Journal (Session Summary 10/12)

O ABA, 12th month, Day 12.

The Gentle Sunlight is scheduled to reach Yavin today. Thank the force. I couldn't take being on here much longer. My only sources of entertainment were the Omwati children Taryn introduced me to, and talking to the spacers. The spacers all disembarked a few days ago, though.

Things are going better though. I suppose the boringness of the ship has given me time to think about what happened. It was dumb and stupid and unnecessary, but it happened and I should get over it. I don't like it when I mope, although it's hard to stop sometimes. Right after I came to that conclusion, Taryn asked me to check to see if any of the Omwati children were force sensitive. They weren't, but they were adorable. They liked playing with my hair, since it's different than their feathery hair. Theirs was all downy and poofy and cute.

Zach and Tallia both wanted to talk to all of us. Tallia was wondering about the feasibility of putting the academy on the herd ship. The new Ithorian force sensitive we met told us that the Ithorians wouldn't like that much--we're too obviously fighting against the Empire. Then Zach said we should start up a large colony around the academy at Yavin IV. He implied we were monks. I can't believe he thinks he can wake up 1000 years in the future and presume to know what's best. Yes, Jedi would do best surrounded by other people, but we're dangerous right now. A large colony would be dangerous for everyone involved.

I don't want there to be another Volik. I mean, if we just let people settle on Yavin that we don't know, how can we be sure that they won't betray us, and put not only the Academy, but the rest of the colony in danger. I said as much to Zach. Tallia agreed with me. I actually felt a little proud about that. I think she's starting to respect me. And I think the stick up her ass has shrunk considerably. I might have lost my temper a bit and implied that Zach would rather hurt innocent people than live a quiet life for a few years. But he was being ridiculous. The Force knows I prefer being around lots of people. But that's what going off world is for. We go places like Cloud City and Mon Calamari. I do think we should let the other students get off planet more. Luke comes with us quite a bit, but the rest are pretty stuck on Yavin.

We did agree with Taryn that the Omwati should have a place to settle down. There's about a dozen kids, maybe some more, and two adults. One of the adults is a teacher, so that will be nice for the students at the academy.

Tallia just commed to get on the Wayfarer to head planetside. Will right more later.

So, we landed on Yavin with a bunch of Ithorians (who immediately began planting stuff) and the Omwati. Zane and Dory lead the Omwati around, showing them the place, while we talked with Kenobi and the herd leader. Kenobi agreed that having an academic teacher around would be beneficial. We saw Zane and Dory helping the kids run the obstacle course, using the Force to help them over the climbing parts. Everyone looked like they were having a good time.

Odak pulled me aside and told me that having so many people here was a bad idea. I told him that this wasn't bad compared to Zach's original plan. He made some disparaging comments. Odak is a jerk, but I rather like him.

Stupid Zabrak. 50 points my ass.

Am now worth 75 points, feel better about life.


0 ABA, 12th month, day 19.

We're leaving on a mission today. Blowing up some "Super" star destroyer. Hitching a ride with some Rodians. Quan has actually been to where we're going, so he's coming along. Luke's coming too. Will either be really fun or really awkward.

0 ABA, 12th month, day 22.

It was really awkward, though not for the reasons I expected. Zach is a douche. He killed an insane Jedi we were there to redeem. The Jedi had even fled the area. Zach had to go out of his way to kill him. We were all in a bit of shock. Luke didn't handle it well. I had to go run after him while everyone else dealt with Zach. Luke believes in the inherent goodness in people, and that if we can save them, we should. I like that about him, it's how I feel about things too. Quan agreed with what Zach did. It made me a little sad.

Anyhow, we took the Jedi's body and his robot friends with us (Kenobi was a redhead, who knew?) and headed to destroy the "super" star destroyer. Ackbar was right when he said they were trying to Jedi proof their Stormtroopers. Zach was a douche once again by being an asshole to Luke about "why don't we redeem the Stormtroopers." Idiot. Big difference between killing a poor insane guy who had retreated, and killing people who are activily shooting at you. To think I thought we'd get along.

Well, we destroyed the "super" star destroyer with a glob of superheated metal. Turns out the wacky little guy wasn't dead--he had a built in life-support system. Zach mildy redeemed himself by infusing the guy with his life force. I still don't trust him.
