Bishop Of Battle

OOC: Works for me, that way my ship won't be destroyed this time. -----Comm Open----- No Searcy, I think we'll be allright. Talon has his three lightsabers and I've got mine plus two blasters and Tarrian has her lightsaber. If at all possible I want to keep you two out of direct line of fire for the most part so I think we'll be ok. Not to be rude but you're still an apprentice, and she... well I want to keep her back with you. -----Comm Closed----- *Bishop was glad Tarrian had allready gone to bed. He reached out slightly with the force and he could feel her asleep in her room. He sighed and unclipped his lightaber from his belt and toyed with it in his hands.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

OOC: Well I say we wait till tommorrow for actually doing it hopefully when we'll all be around and can post together for the most part. So we could all switch to one ship then before hand. -----Comm----- Allright, if we can get in that way then that sounds great. The lest straight forward the better. I suggest you get some sleep too Searcy. It's going to be a long day. -----Comm Closed----- "Well Tarrian, we should get some sleep. I'm going to make a few last checks here, why don't you go to sleep." *Bishop squeezes her hand reassuringly as she wanders off to her quarters to get some rest. He turns back towards the vastness of space and sits in his chair for a long time lost in thought about the coming venture.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

OOC: Oh, ok. Checked it out. You might know what you're doing... -----Comm----- Allright, good, so do you two think you can get us there? -----Comm Open----- ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop smiles back at her and sighs. She'd read his mind to the letter.* "Well I guess with that kind of attitude there's not really a way I can stop you, now can I. Just be careful. I don't want anything to happen to anyone, especially you." ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

-----Comm to Talon and Searcy----- Talon and Searcy, when we do get there we need to dampen our force aura. Which means Talon that we may have to help Searcy with that, I don't know that he will be ready. I'm kind of hesitent about putting him in too much danger as it is. Searcy, how are you with a blaster? -----Comm Open----- *Bishop readied the ship and checked all of it's stats, making sure everything was functioning.* "I figure if we come in and land near the temple we'll be able to make our way without being detected. I don't know how we'll get in without going through the front gates. Perhaps we'll have to use the force to disguise our appearance. After that we'll have to find BLUEDUST and then figure out a way to get him out of there. I don't know how long we'll be able to go without being discovered." ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site [This message has been edited by Bishop Of Battle (edited August 20, 2002).]

OOC: Sorry for double post. -----Comm to Cpt. Legit----- This is Bishop again. We've just gotten yet another contact from BLUEDUST, he's still at the Sith Temple. We need to go rescue him, we don't know how much more time he has. Talon and Searcy have both been there before so hopefully they can get us back again, or at least close enough that we can sense BLUEDUST and pinpoint his location from there. If you or any of your ships are able to help, then we would appreciate them. If not then we will have to go in stealthily I guess. -----Comm out----- *Bishop's ship disengaged from the Fleet Yards and proceeded out away to a safe distance with Talon and Searcy's ships to prepare for their jump.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop nodded at her in agreement.* "We should. Talon, I hope you and Searcy can get us there since you guys are the only ones that have been there before. If we can get close then we can probably sense BLUEDUST without too much trouble, but we have to get nearby. Why don't you guys go back to your ships and we'll head there as soon as you give us a target to head towards." *Bishop nodded towards them as they got up to leave and headed towards the cockpit with Tarrian and began preparing the ship for whatever coordinates Talon and Searcy gave them.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop smiled as he watched her go.* "Good job Searcy, keep practicing the leviatation and eventually it will get easier and easier. I suggest you practice what you've learned when you have the spare time, even if we don't tell you to, it's the fastest way to get stronger." *Bishop gave Talon a slight shove as he moved past him and sent him a message through the force.* Nice timing there Talon. Couldn't have been better. *Despite the interruption Bishop felt better than he had in a long time, and he could tell that Tarrian did too.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Talons brief interuption went mostly unnoticed by the couple and Searcy was quickly pulled back by Talon. After a moment that seemed like forever they parted and looked into eachother's eyes. They leaned in again briefly and then regarded eachother with soft eyes.* "I think Talon and Searcy are done in there..." *Bishop smiled slightly, feeling very light and cheery he took her hand and pulled it to his lips for a brief kiss and looked back in the direction the other two had come from.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop looked her in the eyes. Her arms moved automatically around him in response. His smile drooped halfway not out of declining happiness, but from being lost in the depths of her lush blue eyes. Gently he ran a hand through her chesnut hair. His hand rested on her shoulder for a moment, playing with the cloth of her shirt between his fingers before sliding his hand to her chin and lifting it up slightly...* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

"It's allright, really. Like I said, my best cheap dishes. Things have been hard, but I'm sure they'll get better soon. If not we'll sure as heck be working to make them better." *He smiled and squeezed her arm reassuringly as he stood and dumped the broken pieces into the trash. As they both finished they stood there for a while, not going anywhere and not saying anything. Through the force they touched almost automatically, sharing eachother's feelings and emotions. Finally Bishop shifted position and indicated that they should rejoin the others. As Tarrian walked ahead of him he got a mischevious look in his eyes and reached forward and tickled her suprising her and causing her to squirm. He smiled roughishly before she returned the favor which developed into a tickling fight.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop gave her a look of mock suspicion.* "You better not. These are my finest cheap dishes I have." *Laughing slightly he handed them to her and waited for her to wash the plates and hand them to him.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop smiles in return and walks towards the gally and returns with some more for Talon to eat, who has meanwhile eaten all of his own food plus everyone elses that hadn't finished their meals besides Searcy. And even that plate he was eyeing slightly. He set down the food and picked up the various plates no longer in use and walked back to wash them. Tarrian got up automatically to help.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

OOC: I posted my other messages on the Tatooine thread. *Bishop looks up from eating and expands on the instructions Tarrian suggested.* "Yes, that seems like a good idea. You have to go into the meditative like frame of mind that you were doing to feel the force, but this time let yourself reach out and change it's flow. Manipulate it." *Bishop sits back as he watchs Searcy begin the task. Then glances over at Talon, who is immersed in the task of putting food into his mouth as quickly as he can chew it. Then her turns towards Tarrian and watches her eat for awhile. Without hardly concentrating he can tell she's feeling better about the situation.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site [This message has been edited by Bishop Of Battle (edited August 20, 2002).] [This message has been edited by Bishop Of Battle (edited August 20, 2002).]

OOC: Hm, I intended to dock with the ships that came to Tatooine for us. So I've posted that at least my ship has docked with their's in the other thread... "Yes, we're heading towards the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. That's where the fleet invited us to follow them." *Bishop sits with Tarrian and watches her for a time and smiles briefly before standing and heading towards the food stores.* "I'm hungry. You want anything?" *He quickly begins preparing something for them to eat.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

OOC: Thanks. *Bishop heads towards the giant Fleet Yards and docks with one of it's many hangers. There he waits to find out if he is to stay on his ship or if someone will come for him and lead them elsewhere.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

-----Begin Transmission----- This is Bishop, I'm requesting permission to dock with either the ship. Please let me know which one I should go to that way I can hitch a ride with you to our next destination. Thank you. -----Transmission Open----- OOC: Where exactly (which thread) are we going now? ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop stands and taps Searcy on the shoulder slightly to get his attention as he approaches the comm of his ship.* -----Comm open----- We'd be more than happy to accompany you Captain Legit. We'll be up to join the fleet in a few moments. Also, one of our friends BLUEDUST has been captured by the Sith and I believe he is at the Sith temple. If there is any way we could rescue him I'm sure he would be much abliged. -----Comm out----- "Well, if you guys are ready, let's go." *He climbs aboard his ship with the others and then rejoins the fleet in orbit.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site [This message has been edited by Bishop Of Battle (edited August 19, 2002).]

*As Bishop meditates a part of him remains aware of what is going on around him. He can feel Tarrian and Talon going about their business and Searcy learning. The rest of him is open to the force and the images it brings him. At first things are calm, a few brief images of Coruscant pass then are replaced by some unknown location. He sees BLUEDUST ignite his lightsaber, facing against another person. Clips of the ensuing battle flash past him at an inconcievable rate, though he remembers each vividly thanks to the force. BLUEDUST being battered by his opponent and shocked by force lighting. Him fighting back and forcing his opponent away. The last image he sees is BLUEDUST slam his opponent into a wall and disarm him. He comes out of his meditation and gives Searcy and confident smile, encouraging him to continue as he sends a message through the force to Talon and Tarrian.* I've sensed BLUEDUST. I believe he is still at the Sith temple. He seems to be ok for the time being, but we never know how long that will last. Talon, do you remember how you were brought to the Sith? Do you remember it's location? ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop smiled back at Tarrian then turned towards Searcy.* "Well, then I guess all three of us are your masters for now. I guess I can begin your training if no one else minds. We'll go over meditation. You need to understand that before you can access the force with any great control. Come, I need to meditate on things myself." *Bishop walks slightly away with Searcy and then settles himself on the ground.* "Concentrate and you will begin to feel the force. It flows around us all, and through us all. When you get efficient at this you will easily be able to slip into this state of conciousness to effectivly harness the force for your actions. Try it with me now." *Bishop lets himself slip into his meditative state with ease, creating a template for Searcy to follow along with.* ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop and Tarrian stood there for awhile longer then he gently turned her back towards where they had landed and walked back down towards Talon as he asked them about training Searcy.* "I'm ok with that. He did do his best to help us. What about yourself Tarrian? What do you think?" ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Searcy approaching Talon with his question gives Bishop a chance to focus on Tarrian. He can see her walking up a dune and touches briefly with her through the force, asking her to stop, then starts walking towards her. When he gets there he places an arm around her shoulders and looks off across the deserted desert expanses. Although she is trying to dampen it, her emotions are still easily felt due to their close connection.* "As we left, I could see the orbital platforms driving off the attackers Tarrian. I'm sure they took care of most of the missles as well as the ships. A few of them were even retreating as we left. But it is good that we are away for now. We can either return and see what we can do, or we can try and investigate this matter. Perhaps find BLUEDUST or at least get some answers as to what's going on. I don't think this can be a solely Sith attack, there were so many of them that it seems hard to believe." ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

"Yes, we're all ok here I guess. Where could the Sith have come up with an army like that?" ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop lands his ship near the other two and gets off with Tarrian and any other Jedi that had stowed aboard during the fight on Coruscant.* "Well, that was depressing to say the least. Are all of you fairing allright?" ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site

*Bishop stands and places his hand on her shoulder, smiling as reassuringly as he can, then moves back to see how everyone is. After a quick check and helping everyone get situated he moves back to the cockpit and sits with Tarrian.* "Don't blame yourself Tarrian. It's not any of our fault. We'll regroup on Tattooine and we'll see what we can do from there." *He continues on through hyperspace, staring out at the streaking stars with her. Finally they arrive at Tattoine.* OOC: Continue at Tattoine thread. ------------------ Geocities Site Angelfire Site [This message has been edited by Bishop Of Battle (edited August 19, 2002).]
