Revan was awakened from her sleep by D-5cn. "Morning mistress Revan." D-5cn said before leaving quickly after making sure she was awake.
She slowly dragged herself out of bed and made her way to the refresher and took a shower. When she got out, she did her hair in a simple ponytail and wore a new change of clothes. As she was preparing to leave her room, a knock on her door startled her.
Ignoring it she said "come in.". The door flew open revealing Sigil at the door way. "Morning Sigil." She greeted him happily. "Morning Revan." He replied with a smile on his face. "I need to speak to you about something." He continued. She sighed knowing it was her dream. "Your dream or more so nightmare was indeed a vision but according to Ahsoka these visions are warnings. She told me to avoid attempting to act upon them else they might manifest so the best course of action is continuing on as normal." He explained. "So as if nothing happened?" She asked. "Precisely. Well barring the new addition to our crew for 59 rotations." He said.
She simply nodded in understanding. "After you are done eating, meet us outside. She has an important matter she wants to discuss." He said heading outside of her room. The entire time during breakfast, all Revan could think about was the discussion they were going to hold; she knew it would be about the force or jedi or something related.
When she got outside, she saw them both sitting on the grass waiting patiently for her. She walked over to them, greeting Ahsoka in the process. "So what is the discussion about?" She asked curiously. "About your potential for training as a jedi." Ahsoka said. "Me? A jedi?" Revan asked, trying to contain her excitement. "The order however won't accept you for being too old. My own former master, was barely allowed for the same reason." Ahsoka started off. "I am confused." Revan stated. "Although the order might not, distant and hermit like jedi, might offer you an apprenticeship." She explained further.
"So you?" She asked. "What! Me?" Ahsoka pointed to herself, shocked. "Yes you are a jedi." The younger girl pointed out. "I am no longer a jedi." Ahsoka corrected. "I was exiled under false pretext but was offered the position of a knight upon my return." She explained further. "So why didn't you join back?" Revan asked. "Umm Revan i don't think it is appropriate to-" Sigil was cut off mid sentence by Ahsoka "No it's okay. Because i felt betrayed by the people i dedicated my entire life to. As such, recovery was not fast and forgiveness even less so." She explained.
"But in theory, you are a knight." Revan pointed out optimistically. "In theory." Ahsoka repeated. "So you can take on an apprentice. Like me." Revan pointed out further. "You really are stubborn." Ahsoka mentioned. "Guess so." Revan replied. "So what will be your final decision?" Revan asked in the end. "I need more time to familiarize myself with you, as for your training it is manageable but as for your brother i am not quite sure." She said at last.
"I'll pass." Sigil said. "It is not as easy as you think ignoring it will be." She replied. "Ignorance hasn't helped anyone." Revan said. "I am not being ignorant i am seeing it as necessary." He said. "She does have point. At Least learn the basics." Ahsoka said agreeing with Revan. "Fine, i will give the basics a try." Sigil said relenting. "So when do we start?" Revan asked. "We could start right now." Ahsoka replied. "Let's get this over with." Sigil said, seemingly uninterested.
"So to start, i am going to tell you what the force is and what it isn't. The force is the life force that resides in all living beings and binds us together along with the rest of the galaxy. The force is not some space magic you may have heard of in underground circles. The force is generated by all living beings and indeed the force is where they will end up upon death." She explained. They both just nodded in understanding.
"As for your first lesson, I guess we'll start with meditation." Ahsoka said. "Seeing as you are already seated, just close your eyes. Feel all the living things around you from the grass and tiny insects to larger fish under the cliffside. Feel them around you and how they move. push all your thoughts away. Cast your feelings aside. Focus on the force." Ahsoka kept saying from time to time as the hours passed. The sun began to set before Ahsoka decided to end their first lesson. "Okay that is enough for today." She said.
"See you tomorrow." Revan said going back to the ship. "See you." Sigil said but he headed towards the city of Taleucema. Wearing his helmet under a cloak. D-5cn right on his tail. Which alarmed her but remembered that he was a bounty hunter after all. Looking in the distance she saw Taleucema in the distance and realized she was taken to Saleucami and very far away from the deep core.
Once in the outer parts of Taleucema, Sigil took out his data pad and started looking on his data pad for the location of his meeting with other bounty hunters in order to discuss and upcoming job. Finding the face of clone cadet, he knew he has found the right table. Making his way over to the table, he sat down and said "Ah if this ain't my favorite bunch." Sarcasm obvious in his voice.
"Shut it Trail." Said Fett. "Quiet you two." Bossk intervened. "Enough!" Cad bane said. "D-5cn, pull out the schematics."Sigil said, seemingly ignoring the others. The droid pulled out a holo projector which displayed the schematics of a Gozanti class light cruiser. "Okay so the ship is expected to have an escort of an Arquitens class light cruiser. Flying through an asteroid field it and its escort will be travelling at sub light speed." Sigil began explaining.
"As well as the fighters carried by said Arquitens." He explained further. "So who will occupy them?' Ventress asked finally speaking up. "You as well as IG-88 and 5cn will be the pilots." Cad Bane stated. The rest just nodded in agreement. "Trail you will distract the escort while we take the prize. Money will be distributed by cuts of 16% per each one of us 6." Cad Bane finished.
"6?" 5cn spoke up. "Where is my cut Bane?" 5cn protested further. "Get your droid under control Trail." Bane threatened. "I think i will watch the show he said leaning in his chair. "That's it droid." The Duro said, only for 5cn to shift his plates revealing a much more menacing droid underneath making the bounty hunter relent to avoud causing a scene. "Fine each one get's 14% of the profits." He replied.
"5cn, go with Bane afterwards and get your hands on his spare fighter." He finally said. "Wait why my fighter?" Bane asked furiously. "Because you have a fighter. While we don't.".They spend the night, discussing the smaller details of the job. He simply said before departing the meeting.
After the discussions, Sigil made his way back to the ship but he wasn't alone; he was being stalked from afar. As he left the city and was in the wilderness, he heard a twig snap behind him. Immediately, he ran over and hid behind a tree, drawing out his pistol and activating the night vision on his helmet.
He peaked the corner only for blaster bolts to zoom past his helmet forcing him back in cover again. He changed cover only to trip over a sleeping nexu causing him to drop his blaster.
Awaking the creature and filling it with a vengeance.
The creature quickly recovered from the shock and lunged at him. He rolled avoiding the nexu and putting it between him and the other attacker. The first attacker shot the nexu earning them a nasty whip from the angered creature who sank its claws in Sigil's foot before he could shoot it. Ignoring the pain, he pulled out his vibroblade from under his hood and put it in the creature's skull, killing it.
Dropping to one knee after the nexu was dead, he clutched the claw marks on his calf. "Don't move." He heard a familiar voice say. "Hardeen you motherkriffer! What in the kriff are you doing out here?!." He demanded. "You took my spot Trial!" He yelled back. "Sounds like a you problem." He said sarcastically. "I will shut that mouth of yours once and for all." He stated in anger. "Too bad you won't live up to your promise." He countered. "Wait wa-" Hardeen tried to say before being impaled by a vibro dart he threw.
When the nexu whipped him across the face it broke his night vision goggles. Taking advantage, Sigil slipped a hand under his cloak and took out a vibro dart with which he impaled Hardeen in the skull. "Serves you right. Ugly motherkriffer." he spat before painfully trekking his way back to the void dragon.
Once aboard the ship, he activated the medical droid. "How may i help you?" The droid said. "Can't you see i'm injured?" He pointed out. "Oh my, let me do a scan." The droid said. It proceeded to quickly scan him over before stating "Those are quite deep you will need the bacta tank.". "So be it." He simply said. "Just lock the door." He ordered. The droid did as ordered and continued to take off his outfit and put him in the bacta tank.
Left alone to his thoughts as he floated inside the bacta tank, he eventually drifted to sleep.
In the distance an Arquitens was seen escorting a gozanti class cruiser through an asteroid field. The view shifted and zeroed in on the Arquitens and moved inside the ship.
Inside, he saw a Zabrak female dressed as a jedi. The view followed her through the ship to what must be her quarters. Inside he saw a crate. The view shifted further to reveal the inside of the crate inside of it, it had a skull mask, long silver tube and black cloth and a glowing red pyramid. They all called to him whispering in a seductive voice "Sigil. I know you want me. Come take me." The whisper was followed by a chuckle.
His eyes shot open inside the tank. The ships in his dream looked like the ships they were about to raid in a two days. Having peeked his interest, he decided that who ever the content's of the crate belonged to before; following the heist, will now be his. He needed to know, why that red pyramid, called to him and the secrets that it held within.
