(Darex, you're Ami right?)

(Will be away for next four days, anyone can post for me. Just don't kill me, ok?)

 

Darsha went around looking for her new master and for the food center. She'd ripped off the ankle bandage a long time ago and she didn't think the sprain (or was it a dislocation?) was that serious after all.

 

Hmmm..... maybe he might be at the food center. So let's just kill two birds with one stone, shall we?

 

Hmph, you know I can't eat. Alderaan said.

 

So I'll torment you with a view of the food. Hmmm. that's three birds with one stone.

(I said I would be away for the weekend!!!)

 

Darsha hurriedly gulped down her Dr Pepper and made her way to her new master's quarters. She didn't want him to think that she'd died.

 

She knocked and pushed open the door. "Uh, hi Master Ryoo, I'm here."

(THis reminds me of those psychological tests)

 

Darsha ignited her practice saber, its satisfying thrum matching Ryoo's in a discordant chord. She watched him warily, waiting for him to make the first move.

 

"Attack." Ryoo said.

 

She began circling him. waiting for an opening.

Force jump... force jump....haven't I learnt that already?

 

Yes you do but you can only jump two metres and your dear master's at four, my dear.

 

Shut up.... She only needed to get closer...

 

She started sprinting towards the wall, her hand still on her lightsaber, testing the balance of it.. she was at the wall now..... and she gathered the force in and jumped. SHe twisted around to wards Ryoo, took quick aim, imagining the saber to be one of her daggers, and threw it, guiding its path with the force.

Darsha grinned at being able to knock her master off.

 

"How much of the force have you learnt?"

 

Darsha thought about it.

 

"Not much really. The force blast. force jump, the thingy you made us do with the blindfold, force sensing, yeah, that's about all. And all sorts of other things they taught in the training facility."

(Erm.. how big is a washer?) (Is kolto still a main export in Manaan?)

 

Darsha gaped at him. "15 pieces? And I don't even know what's needed to make a lightsaber........."

 

Ryoo just smiled faintly back. "Then you'd better hurry. There will be a message on each of these, so you will know they are miine and not somebody else's "

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

15 minutes later, Darsha was wandering through the corridors, muttering something to herself about catching a ship and hunting down HofT to get back her master's original saber.

 

With the force as an ally, they shouldn't be too difficult.

 

She thoughtfully stroked her hamster's head poking out of her pocket.

If you'd like to know, your master was the one who set the hopefuls the thing with the blindfold....

 

That was it. Darsha closed her eyes and concentrated on the force. Immediately, she could sense everything around her. "Wow," she gasped as she could see all the wiring behind the walls of the entire building. Too much though..........there were over 100 items which could be used to make a lightsaber.

 

Then she remembered seeing in the library with Scorp when he was made to reconstruct his training lightsaber by Keiran the following:

 

The core list of items required to construct a Lightsaber is as follows.

 

} A Power Cell

} A Handle

} An Activation Switch

} A Safety

} A Belt Ring (Optional)

} An Emitter Matrix

} A Recharge Socket

} A Lens Assembly

} A Focusing Crystal

} A Power Conduit

 

 

Core list. Add five more, and they hould be:

 

Cell recognition, to alert the owner that the lightsaber is in the grip of an unauthorized person,

 

Pressure grip, to automatically deactivate when the pressure of holding it is decreased, especially in times of emergency.

 

Blade phase control switch, to vary the length of the blade,

 

Waterproof casing, to protect the power cells from water damge,

 

and,

 

a modificatons kit for secondary usage.

 

There, fifteen.

(http://www.rpgoracle.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=58)(See, I even acknowledged the source.)

 

She was sturuck with a bright idea and she raced down to the mechanics'.

 

"Do you have any power cells that can be used in a lightsaber?" she panted at the mechanic.

 

"No idea," the mechanic grunted.

 

She saw a man in Jedi robes walk to a box. When he had gone, she hurried over and peered into tthe box. True enough, they were power cells. She rummaged through them, but to her disappointment they were all the same, no markings by Ryoo. Then she had another brainwave. She focused on the cell, seeing its Force image. Then, she reached out to the building and searched for a similar imprint.

 

There! Third level, dear me, in the MALE TOILET???

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Darsha could be seen emerging pink-faced from the male toilet some 15 minutes later. THank goodness it had been empty. She stared down at the power cell, which had a piece of paper with well done scrawled on it in pink attached.

 

She then concentrated on the piece of paper, taking in its force imprint, and then concentrating on its force imprint for similar ones. And one was stuck under the table in the dining hall. Grinning from ear to ear, she made her way there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Darsha sipped Muja juice happily as she sauntered over to the table. SHe happily plucked the belt ring from where it had been taped to the underside.

 

Tow down, Thirteen more to go!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lens lens..... now where would be a good place to hide lens?

 

The belt ring and power cell were the only two with the paper and well done in pink. She wondered whether how the 'recognition' signal would be like this time.

 

She stared at the vast ocean and sunlight glinted from the roof. Now she was back to square one, with no idea how to proceed.

 

She walked past two men in animated conversation.

 

"This place is really safe, you know. Has a cloaking device, and the roof doesn't reflect light at all, making it black even when they've shone some beacon on it............"

 

Darsha stopped dead in her tracks. How did sunlight glint on the roof?

 

She ran back to the window and looked out. Yes. sunlight was still glinting on the roof. She grinned.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Gathering the force in, Darsha leapt onto the roof top. There was the lens, propped upright between to pebbes. 'Well, was written on one. and 'done' on the other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(Thanks Obsidian!)

 

Darsha had received the message from her master. At least I'm on the right track, she thought happily.

 

She was now sitting in her room crossing out hte things which she had found. She looked at what remained to be found:

 

 

} A Handle

} An Activation Switch

} A Safety

} An Emitter Matrix

} A Recharge Socket

} A Focusing Crystal

} A Power Conduit

} Cell recognition device

} Pressure grip

} Blade phase control switch

} Waterproof casing

} Modificatons kit

 

She decided to tackle the handle, activation switch, and the safety first.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

She remembered when she was in the training facility, Ryoo had said something about liking heights. He probably put more things nearer the top than at the bottom.

 

She climbed up to the topmost level, where there were a couple of store rooms. One had a collection of antique chamber pots and another of antique swoops. The swoops were well preserved, with their coats still shiny and their handles gleaming...

 

Handles.

 

She went into the room for a closer look. She closed her eyes to sense anything that could have been for a lightsaber. There it was! Her master had cleverly inserted it inside a real handle.

 

Taking out her dagger, she prised open the old handle. it came off easily, but to her horror she found that the lightsaber handle wa cemented inside.

 

Gritting her teeth, she force blasted the cement out, and unwrapped her prize which was wrapped in a cloth with 'well done' painted on." Staring around at the layer of grey that now covered the room, she hoped that everyone else would think it was just dust.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

She was washing her hands in the female toilet, when something in the mirror cought her eye. It was a probe droid. What on earth is a probe droid doing here? She thought.

 

 

She went out to have a look.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The droid was giving little funny jerks, like it was trying to shake off something. And it was a little pink clow in the dark star on it's underside.

 

GOtcha! Darsha thought.

 

The droid was all but immune to her calling it to come down. On the contrary, it floated even higher.

 

Darsha swore. Then using the force, she pulled the droid down. Next to its activation switch was another activation switch. SHe pulled the newer looking one off, and it came out, not being wired to the droid and the pink star sticker fell off too, predictably, on it's surface, were two words.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Safety..... safety.........safety.......

 

Darsha was seating in the Arbetoreum (sp?) contemplating her next item.

 

safety safety safety......

 

safety safety...

 

safety..

 

She hit the tree beside her in frustration and something hit her hard on the head.

 

"ouch!" SHe cried, but was soon grinning as she held the safety in her hand.

List of things Left

 

Darsha looked hard at the uncrossed ones.

 

} An Emitter Matrix

} A Recharge Socket

} A Focusing Crystal

} A Power Conduit

} Cell recognition device

} Pressure grip

} Blade phase control switch

} Waterproof casing

} Modificatons kit

 

Better leave the focusing crystal for the last,she thought.

 

So now: Emitter Matrix, Recharge socket and power conduit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Emitter Matrix. [OOC](Her first thought was to go to the cinema. )

 

Now...

 

She focused on the pink ink...........

 

........a pen in Ryoo's room............

 

........and in the female toilet she had just come out of.........

 

.......Wait but in the water system so Ryoo wasn't that erm... how could she put it........

 

Carefully, Darsha blasted a small hole in the pipe and used the force to stop the water from spurting. She coaxed the emitter matrix out; it was wrapped in waterproof material. Looking at the hole she had made, Darsha screwed up her face in concentration and gathered the pieces from the blast and used the blue training lightsaber she had to melt it back into shape. Well....... she hoped there were plumbers about in case of further mishap.

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Well done and well done.

 

The emitter matrix and the power conduit.

 

"WHEE!" Darsha yelled.

 

A note from her master was inside.

 

The both are never far apart so it's more sense this way. Anyway, the task was quite tough, so you deserve double the reward.

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sorry Ryoo I'm gonna defy you a bit by having 6 posts... got a bit of a good story for the crystal.

(Hey ObsidianKnight! My Char's from Alderaan too!)

 

List:

} A Recharge Socket

} A Focusing Crystal

} Cell recognition device

} Pressure grip

} Blade phase control switch

} Waterproof casing

} Modificatons kit

 

Recharge socket. The thing that looked like a razor? Well... that left all the female places out instantly.

 

Sinking into the force she concentrated on razors. Well, but there were far too many of them and all looked like razors.

 

Then she smacked hersel on the head. Didn't she carry two training sabers? She took out the blue one, distangled her hamster from it and concentrated on the recharge socket being all alone. A huge response, though, from a box in some storage compartment, and..... well well well, stuck under the table in her room.

-------------------------------------------------

 

Grinning, Darsha tossed her latest find into her bag and checked it on her list. NOw..... Cell recognition device. She had decided to leave the crystal for later.

 

Her first thought was of the dank cell she had spent some time in after some misappropriation, but, well, the cells here was reffering to body cells.

 

And the power houses of the cells were the mitochondria and mitochondria reminded her of crumpled chewing gum. Well that's a start, she thought.

 

A store of chewing gum? I suppose that idea came form you, she thought irritably.

Naturally. You might want to try it though.

 

All right.

 

Taking out a strip of chewing gum from her pocket, she concentrated on it.

 

The main source was a whole box in the food storage.

------------------------------------------

 

Darsha held up the device. Ryoo could have hidden it better in spaghetti.

 

Of course he did.

 

But........

 

He meant to hide the cell recog in the spaghetti and the Blade phase in the chewing gum. Got mixed up though, 'Aldy' said rather smugly.

---------------------------------------------

 

After finding the Blade phase switch, Darsha thought that she would never be welcome in the kitchen again.

Darsha will be away for the next 12 days. Anyone can post for her.------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

One item left.

 

The crystal, the core of the lightsaber's power, the soul of the blade.

 

They were usually kept in a chamber, being precious and all. Now.... what better place to hide a crystal than among other crystals. SHe sighed and shook her head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The crystals were kept in a dimly lit chamber. The glitters from all the crystals gave off a light of their own and made the chamber like a treasure cave. There was a huge pile of Ilum and Adegan crystals, and Darsha was wondering which was her master's.

 

....Jedi usually choose their own crystals..... beffitting their own self...

Darsha tried harder to remember the chapter.

 

...personality... fighting style.......beliefs.......

 

"ARGH!" She was getting a headache.

 

Fake personality, Aldy observed.

 

What?

 

Create a fake personality similar to your masters. Easier than searching all the crystals for pink writing.

 

All right.

She steeled herself. Taking a deep breath, she concentrated on an airy, ethereal feeling associated with heights.

 

Felling a couple of crystals respond, she moved them out from the pile with the force, setting them into a separate pile.

 

His old light saber was orange..... She separated the orange ones from the rest.... and was still left with a sizeable pile.

 

Grinning, she concentrated on pink ink, and one crystal floated out from the rest.

 

Then frowning, she looked at the writing on the crystal and it said :

 

Haha, not this one, Darsha.

 

Crap.

 

The rest of the crystals were all identical.

 

He likes drinking..

 

A crystal floated infront of her, and grinning at the Well done in orange this time, she put it in her back and went to find her master.

OOC: (GERMANY ROCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

IC: Darsha was stunned. "I....I get to build my... my own saber???????"

 

Ryoo nodded. "Get everything fixed before we add in the crystal. Well... why are you still standing here like a doofus? Quick now."

 

Darsha laughed. "Yes master." She ran off to the library, the bag of stuff jiggling in her hand.

 

Grabbing a few dusty thick volumes labeled things like: Blarshed bay day Lightsaber, 7 things not to miss in a lightsaber and Manual: Lightsaber. She tossed the ones in Old Basic away; Blarshed bay day Lightsaber neatly levitating back to its space on the shelf. The stuff was quite simple really.

 

She took out the handle ad examined it closely. Hmm”¦. This one's small enough for my hand, examining her stubby fingers. Grabbing the books she made her way down to the workshop.

 

Seating herself down at a vacant bench, she gently poured out all the fourteen items. Grabbing a few spare wires, she hooked the cell recognition device to the handle and put the waterproof casing over it. Then she wrapped the pressure grip around it securing one's wires to the other's.

 

Using a pair of tweezers, she twisted the wires so that they clung onto the insides of the handle, so that there was plenty of space left over. Seeing that there was a hole just right for the activation switch, she welded it on and joined its wires with that of the pressure grip. Taking out the belt ring, she also welded it onto the handle. The safety was some problem until she realized that it wasn't meant to be welded, but just fixed with a tiny hinge. Looking at the extremely unfinished product, she was glad to see that it at least resembled that of a passing Jedi's.

 

While welding in the blade phase control, she thought about her lightsaber. The lightsaber usually resembled the personality of the wielder. A lone fighting blade wasn't her.

 

Start with one then if you are uncomfortable make some more.

 

OK. She shrugged, and imagined herself with a lone blade. A quick activation and deactivation was needed. She adjusted the pressure grip a bit so that there was less pressure needed to ignite the blade if the activation switch didn't work.

 

She levitated a glass of Pepsi from the cooler nearby and rested and pondered.

Chucking away the plastic cup, she stuffed the recharge socket near the bottom of the handle and gently used the force to make it more secure. It had a galacial adapter along with it so there would be no voltage problem. She slotted the emitter matrix into the hollow handle and connected it to the power conduit. She was careful not to break the lens assembly, though. Picking up the biggest object of all, the modifications kit, She opened it.

 

Modifications kit. Wow. There was a thin, yet strong looking rope, and mini blaster, and a goodness-knows what weird device, and a mini auto map and a metal tracker and a ”¦.. it simply made her head swim.

 

 

The rope was definitely useful, and she stowed it into a secret compartment at the bottom of the hilt. The mini auto map went next to the switch, and the little throwing star went into a slit in the handle.

 

There was so much stuff, but somehow she felt that that stick of deodorant wasn't practical.

 

(OOC) (Sorry. Little joke )

 

(BC)

Finally, she slipped the power cell into the bottom of the handle, the spare ones a different compartment. There was a little door on the hilt, where the crystal would go, nestled with all the wires that would wrap around it, and out would spring the blade”¦”¦”¦”¦”¦

 

Darsha got up to look for her master, Ryoo.

Darsha was bewildered. But she knew that her master had a reason for leaving her behind.

 

She left a note on his table. If you need me”¦. I'm at the Dojo. Just to hang out. Not much to do anyway. Will practice Force.

 

Shrugging at the pidgin Basic, she went to borrow a ship to get to the Dojo.

Darsha immediately ran to her quarters. Throwing various pieces of myriad clothes and securing her two training sabers and uncomplete real one at her belt and popping her sleeping hamster into a pocket, she grabbed the bulging duffel bag and made a dash for the ships.

 

(err... where do we go to now??)
