"No, you came at the right time Master, we need someone that can lighten the mood around here and bring people together. I think that you should bring back some of your old friends, you all could get the jedi livened up a little." A smile crossed her face, "Why not, it could be fun."

"Unless we get attacked the jedi do nothing as a group now. We are unfriendly, uncommunicative, and basically unhelpful to each other. Sure, to the outside world we help everyone, I was here for a week almost, and had to fiend for myself with no one to even show me a room. The jedi go on with there own lives and concerns, the council doesn't pay any attention to anyone that isn't on the need to know list." Eli looked at her Master, "Well, that's what I've gathered so far."

Elil looked at her Master, "Lets go find this Talus Kyeian, who ever he is, or better yet, lets ask the council. So it can be offical." She laughed at the thought of her Master doing anything offical. "No, really Master how is everyone in the big wide galaxy, you know the other crazy ones like yourself." She smiled and sat lazly on her bed.

Eli laughed at her Master and said, "You are just what the jedi need Master, we are so large now, there is no family anymore. We are all off doing our own thing, and to tell you the truth," she sighed and flopped on her bed, "I don't even know how to get a session with the council anymore. Heck I don't even know who is on the council." Eli looked at her Master with questioning eyes.

Eli looked at her Master, "You forget to realize you're the one who is supposed to make things happen." She smiled kindly and looked around, "Well, it seems like there really isn't anyone here I know. I'm not exactly open to people, and most of the ones I do meet are always young ones who don't know better." She smiled again, this time a little sadly, "Well, lets go to my quarters, and maybe we can see if you have a room." She turned right and walked down the hallway toward her room.

As Eli and Niltiac step of the boarding ramp of the Second Chance they are laughing and enter the rain with smiles on their faces. As they proceed into the Acadamy they stop. Eli looks right then left, as the smile slowly fades from her face. "Uh, Master Nilt," she looks at her Master with perplexity on her face, "where exactly do you want to go?"

Eli appears at a hyperspace checkpoint in space and sets the coordinates for Manaan in her NaviComputer. "I was really expecting to find you in a sticky situation when I found you Master," she looks to her right and smiles at Nilt, "you do have a way with people." She laughed at her own joke and hits the controls for hyperspace.

As Eli's ship left the Gateway she put in the coordinates for her Master's location and the Second Chance went into hyperspace.

Eli smiled at Drake as he left and made a circulation of the ship. No matter how nice the guy is I've got to keep my guard up. Not seeing any tracking devices on the outside haul, Eli punched in a sequence to open the ramp and headed into the ships interior. Drake had been right it had everything she could imagine. She walked through the rooms and then headed to the cockpit. With one last glance Eli looked out around the Gateway and headed toward her old Master. She shoot into the unknown and wasn't seen for a while.

Eli smiled, "I figured as much when you told me she was a prototype. Um," she paused thinking of a name, "how about....oh wow, I can't even think of a name." She looked at the ship and said "How many weapons does she have? I know she's a yachet but she can't be unarmed." Eli paused, the multitude of people in the Gateway had just become apparent to her. Empire, sithscum, smugglers, and bounty hunters, the were all there. She hadn't even felt them when she came into the Gateway and now she realized that she had delayed for to long. "Drake, I'm sorry, I have to be going shortly and I would like to stay for a long time and investigate your wonderful Gateway." She smiled, "I think I'll call her, Second Chance." Eli looked at the ship loveingly and then reached out her hand to Drake, "I hope to see you again one day, when you can explain more about your ships, and station."

She smiled at him, "I've heard of Tares, but I don't know him. I've been gone from the jedi for a while, and don't know a lot of people." She sighed, and looked at him. "Well," she said and smiled at him, "You still haven't told me the name of this most remarkable ship." She started walking along the side of the ship that they were currently on.

Eli smiled at him and ran her hand along the side of the ship. "So, she must have a name," she continued too smile, "it's no where on the side of the ship." She looked up and down at the ship and wondered if it would be okay to keep it. "I'm also curious about you Drake, I'm not quite sure if your the type of sentient I should take a ship from." Eli looked at him seriously and then broke into a large smile. "Jedi or not, I'm not one to pass up a free ship."

Eli's mouth dropped open, "Just lying around, this thing is gorgeous! It's huge!" She turned to Drake and looked at him with new wonder. "You have too be one of the richest men in the galaxy to be able to just let anyone borrow these." Eli walked toward the ship and placed her hand lovingly on it's side. This is really one heck of a ship, she thought. "Whats her model?" Eli asked, turning back to Drake.

Eli woke with a beep and a jolt. She had come out of hyperspace to find the large Gateway filling her viewscreen. She took control of the ship and steered it into the station. As she approached the voice of a customs officer went through her cabin. "Please state your name and reason for visiting." The officer asked politely, "Eillen Tharen, I'm here to see Drake. Tell him Calen sent me." With that she shut off the message and waited for permisson to land. Permisson being granted Eli steered her ship onto the platform and crawled out of the hatch. Dusting herself off she thought, Well, I hope Drake meets me here, I've never been on this particular station before.

As Eli cleared the atmosphere of the Jedi Dojo her hyper drive engaged and the stars streaked. She sat down for a good nap, and happened to find a blaster stuck into the wedge of the seat. Looks like I lucked out, she checked the charge to find that it was full, bet somebody is missing this, she thought. Eli stuck the blaster in her empty holster and took a nap on her way to the Gateway.
