[ Stories ]

Contact lost, a group of Force Sensitives, that maintains regular contact with the Jedi Order, outside the Union sent a signal on an emergency channel a few days ago and there hasn't been any contact with them since.

A group of with Jareth Lightfang , Nalan Passik and T'sal set of with a ship to [ sector 16 1 ]. Only T'sal finished the mission.

Master Leithor welcomes the 4 padawans is the meeting room. As this mission is for 3 Jedi he sends Shebi Ajava away as talents are better suited for more important things. He tells Jareth Lightfang, Nalan Passik and T'Sal more details about the planet. The group of people are primitive and no technologically advanced things are allowed like blasters and other devices. The group of force sensitive people consists of 42 members and are pacifist. The need to find out what happened and reestablish contact.

The padawans are send away to the planet. They land a few kilometer from the monastery. They arrive at a big temple complex and they feel a disturbance in the Force. As Jareth is too big to go inside, he looks around outside while Nalan en T'sal go check indoors. The inside is a mesh and has been turned upside down. The disturbance is coming from a room with a pedestal, but it is empty. The disturbance seems to be gone and it is fading away. Jareth walks around and does not find anything except a red piece of cloth in a three at the backside of the temple. Nalan en T'sal follow a faith Force trails which leads them outside on the same spot. Suddenly Jareth is called back and leaves. (Is written out of mission as he does not reply)

T'sal uses her telekinetic power to get the red cloth out of the tree. The cloths seems to be pulled towards the forest by the force. Nalan and T'sal follow the cloth. After hours of walking they find a blood trail. The cloth is pulling towards into another direction then the trails goes. As the blood seems to be quite fresh the padawans decide to go in that direction as the bleeding person might need help. They follow the blood trail as fast as they can. T'sal makes high jumps to see and look ahead. But suddenly she jumps into something. A man is hanging on a noose in the tree with deep cuts on his limbs. On the bark of the three is written “return the stone”. As strange wind blows and whispers the same message. The two Jedi get the man down and bury him. The blood trail goes further but the cloth pulls back from where they came. They decide to follow the cloth again.

The padawans go deeper in the forest. They then stumble on a pile of cloths looking similar to Jedi ropes and around it are various objects like a scroll and a medallion. The Force feels strange yet peaceful and the cloth is directly pointing towards the middle. T'sal inspects the objects and the feeling they emit is similar to the one in the monastery. It seems like a ritual. Nalan picks up something and is overwhelmed by a force wave. Suddenly they feel a presence and a cloaked figure appears from behind a tree. He helps them. It seems this is the grave of the head monk. A totem was tainted and the monks wanted to purify is but one of them fell to the allure. T'sal used the Force to investigate the cloaked man, heseemed to be there and not be there. He shows them the way but does not like to answer questions while walking. Then he suddenly runs into thick foliage with unnatural speed. Nalan and T'sal follow but when they come through the man has disappeared.

T'sal jumps into a three to look around while Nalan searches on ground. Nalan spots someone jumping behind the tree. Nalan approaches him and talks to him. T'sal stays in the tree and sneaks closer from above. The man does not want to come out and he seems to be holding something, a carved stone. Suddenly he jumps out of his hiding place and pushes the totem against Nalan. She drops down unconscious. T'sal jumps down and cuts him down. (Nalan is kicked out of this mission for not replying)

T'sal tries to wake Nalan up but she could not. Using her telekinetic power T'sal puts the totem in her bag. A big group of people (mainly human) came calling for someone. They a looking for the man she had cut down who was named Jason. The group wants to purify the totem and her help would be welcome. They go back to the temple and they carry Jason and Nalan on a stretcher back. They go to an area at the edge of the temple complex where stone pillars are standing in a circle. In the center is an altar and the monks are sitting down at it in a meditation position. T'sal uses her telekinetic power to place the totem at the altar. The monks start chanting in a strange languages and the Force starts shifting. T'sal carefully ads her power to the ritual. Slowly the darkness leaves the totem and it is purified. In a cloth with runes they put the tome and go return it to the grave. T'sal places it back. The hooded man comes back and answers the question T'sal has asked the old monk about this grave. It was from the former head monk. A group of angry violent people had come and desecrated the grave, The totem had been tainted and they had taken it back to the temple to purify is but then Jason got corrupted and went wild. He destroyed the communicator and stolen the token.

When they arrive back at the temple, they see that a shuttle has landed. Nalan was already inside and the monks assured T'sal that she will wake up on their way back. T'sal says her goodbye and goes back to Unity.
