Kitt

Kitt guided Saberforce and Garrick towards the hangar, dodging away from spice dealers, prostitutes, and other beings dealing in illegal activities onboard the space station. Every so often, he would glance at Garrick and Saberforce, wondering what he must have been like upon their last journey together. Things were different then and they would no sooner turn towards that way again. The galaxy was changing, and that was becoming far more apparent by the minute. Looking at the Mandalorian as they entered the hangar bay and Kit indicated the shuttle they would be using, he spoke rather point of fact. "Bodgen won't give us much past another heading. But I have a strong feeling that we will find a clue there that will lead us directly towards the greatest danger any of us have ever seen. Let us board and leave this station behind. The sooner we find our clues, the better." Kitt didn't waste his time. He waked up the ramp and began to prep the shuttle for the trip. He quickly got codes to leave and then took off for Bodgen. ((You guys can post in Space first.))

(I think we may have lost my padawan, but I'm gonna keep posting him as beside us in case he does pop back up.) Kitt turned his head ever so slightly more towards Saberforce, whom now put his helmet back on and leaned into the light. Giving the Mandalorian a glance that may have hinted that he was completely without trust for him, Kitt slowly nodded his head. He wasn't quite sure how to make out the character of the bounty hunter yet, but somehow there was a slight comfort in knowing that he did travel with him before, even if he had no memory of it. "Well then, I think we should make our way to the hangar bay. Bodgen is our heading." Kitt didn't wait for either Garrick or Saberforce and stood up and began to walk out of the cantina and towards the hangar bay. His mind was already racing for sort of danger could lay before them if he sent a Mandalorian away...

Kitt took in every word for a good long minute before he responded. His face seemed distant, and his eyes were intense. The events that transpired on the hunt appeared to be pointing him back towards Bodgen, a location that he would indeed have to visit again. Although know it seemed even clearer to him that danger was written all over the hunt, and he couldn't well send back Garrick if what he was feeling in the Force at large was at all true. Dangerous times lay ahead, and the Force was becoming less of a thing that he could rely upon. Looking directly into the shadows to where Saberforce sat, he narrowed his eyes trying to see the Mandalorain's own. "Well then, I want to thank you for your time in answering my questions. It would seem like me and my padawan must depart for Bodgen then. I am sorry to have burdened you…" Kitt then took a swig of the Jawa Juice that Garrick had gotten for them both, and turned towards his apprentice with an apologetic face.

Kitt closed his eyes for a moment and tried to recall what he could over the words spoken to see if anything would ring a bell for him. As he opened his eyes, he felt like he already knew the answer to his next question, so instead, he glanced over at Garrick and then back at Saberforce. "He's my apprentice. Garrick Sage. He's new, post memory loss." Kitt looked down and stared for a moment at the table before speaking up… "… So what exactly happened on Corellia?…"

Kitt kept his gaze upon Garrick more so than the Mandalorian, as he could still feel Garrick's slight turmoil. Kitt offered up a careful question within his eyes towards Garrick as he drew his own Force presence in on itself. The question was a simple one. Are you able? Maybe a bit too vague, but it was all he could muster with the toxic nature the Outer Heaven was creating in the Force. Not wanting to draw anymore attention, Kitt turned towards the Mandalorian. "Clearly you know me. I must admit to you, it is not mutual. I was given your name by Zalis, the Black Sun Vigo on Coruscant." Kitt turned himself to watch both the Mandalorian and Garrick both. Garrick had just gone through something that Kitt couldn't quite figure out, due to not being able to fully be connected to the Force. He wanted to make sure that his apprentice was alright, as well as making sure that he could trust this bounty hunter.

((So sorry for the long wait you two.)) Kitt could feel a stir, even without being active in the Force, the sense still ran strong. Even as the former Grandmaster began to stand up, he could make out Garrick's back, somewhat frozen, with a Mandalorian behind him, blaster pistol drawn, but wasn't showing much intent through the Force. A quick glance over sent Kitt into protection mode quick, but not in the way his apprentice might think so. Garrick was coming close to endangering the mission, but didn't know it. Without moving, Kitt reached into the Force, allowing for his presence to become very clear and strong. For Garrick, it would act as a beacon of light. As he did, the taint that Calmin Ayion had placed throughout the space station immediately began to touch at Kitt, although found him unresponsive. Kitt ignored the leeching taint and instead focused upon his apprentice, of which Kitt was now extending the Force his way, providing an overwhelming sense of calm to both Garrick and the Mandalorian he was sure was this Saberforce they needed to find. Knowing that the Bounty Hunter would feel something off and look his way, he made sure to show himself unarmed. For Garrick, he spoke through the Force to his mind. "Garrick… Listen to my voice… Embrace the calm and peace… You're not in trouble yet… Remember the Jedi Code…"

Kitt walked into the main hallway of the space station, almost to be immediately greeted by two Zeltrons approaching him and Garrick, quickly offering up themselves up for the service to the two Jedi. Kitt quick lifted his hand and waved them off and kept moving past them. The hall was filled with drug dealers and prostitutes offering themselves up for services, clogging at times the side entrances to all of the bars and shops along the way. Kitt finally turned into the main large cantina room and stood still for a brief second. He looked around and then found the bar he wanted to sit at. "We'll sit there. Go and get us drinks. You may want to inquire with the locals here if they know anything of this Saberforce bounty hunter…" Kitt started to slowly move forward towards the booth and make himself comfortable, yes alert enough to watch the cantina…

Kitt carefully guided the shuttle and and landed it, carefully taking in Garrick's words and his emotions through the Force. As he put the shuttle down and cooled the engines down, Kitt smiled and turned his head towards Garrick. "Afraid? No… She was worried. The owner, Calmin Ayion is an aggravated Miraluka whom hates the Force. This place thrives on the dregs of life. Smugglers, Gamblers, Spice Dealers, Whores, and Bounty Hunters come here to gain rest and advantages on their targets. Killing isn't encouraged, but no one will stop someone from doing so. The Force here is toxic… Calmin Ayion's own doing. The Dark Side… The Light Side… it doesn't matter. Using it here will begin a slow decline in feeling it. Zalis knew this, as an agent of Black Sun, she cold have helped provide the toxins that Calmin was looking for. So we must be cautious as to not use the Force here, yet still find this Saberforce…" Kitt now stood up, lifting his hood over his head, showing no sign of fear of exposing himself as a Jedi.

The shuttle carrying Garrick and Kitt was thrown like a dart out of hyperspace before the space station known as Outer Heaven. Sending docking information to the station, Kitt turned and looked at Garrick. "Do you remember the words that Zalis spoke to us over this place?" It was a test for Garrick, as Kitt knew all too well about this space station and the thousands of dangers it holds for anyone, even more so a Force user.

Kitt slowly nodded his head at Garrick. He sat in his chair giving a far off stare for a good two minutes, which must have been super uncomfortable for the Jedi Padawan. Finally Kitt let out a noise which must have been a sigh, but sounded more like compressed air being released. "...It's different for every Jedi…" Kitt looked now directly at Garrick with a face full of empathy. Even though Kitt held a mastery of the Force and was apart of so many negotiations and diplomatic meetings, his face use have been easy to read by Garrick that there was something upon Kitt's mind. "Never forget that emotions will always be present. Hold steadfast to the Jedi Code as much as you can. While difficult, and sometimes very confusing… It will be a great aid for you…" Kitt now looked up and out the viewport… The stars seemed to flicker for a quick short moment… "But we've traveled far. We're approaching our coordinates. Now for your next lesson. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. You will get a full dose of that upon the space station…"

Kitt sat quietly, and what would sam like to an outsider, that he was intently staring at Garrick. But what Kitt was really doing was holding onto Garrick with the Force, providing a very subtle aid to him, guiding him where his thoughts needed to go without giving any restraint. As Garrick's thoughts became more aroused through turmoil that the young man was feeling, Kitt allowed of this own mind to speak up in Garrick's mind, but only as a backdrop. Garrick… Breath… There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge…. There is no death… There is the Force…

Kitt slowly nodded his head, acknowledging the words out of Garrick's mouth. After a short pause, the Jedi spoke. "Feelings and emotions are not something to turn away from. They provide you with clues, hints, and insights into what another person is thinking or doing. And I think that such feelings and emotions would always be felt. It comes down to focus. A wise Jedi once said that your focus determines your reality, and it is in fact a wise saying. What you choose to focus on will determine what you feel." Kitt now bent his head towards his left ever so slightly. "Sometimes the noise and chaos can be a comfort in the Force. In time and with practice, you will find a way to not let such feelings consume you. For as much as you are a conduit for the Force, you must also protect yourself from becoming overwhelmed. With more time and training, you will learn how to properly handle such things." Kitt now lowered his head in a bowing motion and then proceeded to nod his head very softly as he closed his own eyes. "Reach out now… Reach out and strip away the distractions…"

Rather quietly and silently the shuttle moved p and away from Coruscant, despite to turmoil on the surface below. Turning as Kitt launched the shuttle into hyperspace towards the Outer Heaven, he finally broke the silence. "You felt much. In fact, I took notice that you could not control what you felt and what you did not. Tell me, what did you feel the most? What did you feel that felt awkward? ANd what did you feel that you simply could not understand?" Kitt continued to sit in his chair. His posture was something of relaxed, calmed, almost translucent.

Kitt looked out at the surface of Coruscant. The turmoil below with many pings of agony followed quickly by sadness and a flicker of life before disappearing allowed for Kitt to sense to greatness of the situation. And while he was emotionally being overwhelmed in the Force, Kitt cold not yet reveal himself fully to the galaxy that he was back. The Jedi were one thing. To have multiple others, not the best. Even as he sat and piloted the shuttle towards the surface, Kitt turned his head towards Garrick, whose face was obvious being touched through the Force with the turmoil on the surface. "You can feel it… All of the chaos and turmoil below… As I told you earlier, while there is turmoil on the surface of where we are going, I will not endanger you. We will be landing on the far side away from the fighting, as this is where I was last at with some memory…" Kitt then piloted the shuttle down towards the surface near Black Sun's bar...

"Not quite. The purpose of this trip is to uncover what I can not remember. But the second purpose will be to teach and train you in a more practical way. You will get a chance to learn the Jedi Code and see ways to apply it to your daily life." Kitt turned his head towards the console as the shuttle beeped at him that they were approaching Coruscant and hyperspace would be done soon. "A Force Wrap is a technique in the Force which is a combination of three. One being a Hibernation Trances, which allow for a Jedi to go into a deep hibernation state. Sometimes and most always used to heal oneself. Drain Knowledge, which is normally frowned upon by the Jedi Order due to it's more evil nature of removing knowledge, memories, and other things from one's mind without consent. And the final aspect is a technique known as Cleanse mind, which is a passive technique used to negate effects on the mind. Being so deep in Force knowledge, I combined all three upon myself. But why, I can not find an answer yet. Which i what we are going to track down…" The consoles on the shuttle buzzed and beeped, warning Kitt to pull out of hyperspace. "Which is seems that we have arrived at Coruscant, so your training can continue more…" (I'll allow for you to post here before I post us on the planet.)

Kitt leaned back in his own seat and let out a breath of air. "You'll be able to read of such beliefs throughout all of the archives in the Jedi Temple, but you'll only truly discover what your own stance through travels and experience. But anyways, back to my experience…" Kit now turned his seat around to face the controls of the shuttle. "At CoreSec, I found an interesting thing… A drug was being sold and supplied to the lowlife's on Coruscant. It was a powerful one that blocked Force Users from sensing them, as well as expanding their own senses. It intrigued me enough to seek out these drugs and find out what they were made of and where they came from. Through my start, I found that most of the typical drug dealers or those just involved with the lowlife's were not involved. But from there is where it get's hazy. I have a ton of memory gaps that leave things unexplained. Fuzzy images is al that remain. Part of it keeps me from connecting the right dots together. But you have nothing to worry about. I know for a fact that I did it to myself. It shows all of the signs of a Force Wrap…"

Kitt thought for a second as he leaned back in his chair. It was a difficult question with far too many easy answers. "That is a far difficult question. In this galaxy, there are far too many answers. The common belief is that the Force has two sides to it. A light side, which is what the Jedi use. It focuses upon Knowledge, defense, and doesn't inflict harm. The dark side is the other side, which has anger, aggression, and things that harm. But a little more research on your end could bring up some more theories, and I could aid in giving you a more broader view of the Force through our travels."

Kitt set the course for Coruscant above Lehon and then let the shuttle blast off into hyperspace. Once that was done, He turned towards Garrick with a knowing smile. Carefully, he adjusted his own robe before speaking. "The question you asked earlier is a complicated one. To start things off, it was a choice that lead to me not being the Grandmaster and not someone else's. The Empire and Republic had recently made their treaty, forming the Galactic Alliance. I had recently found through the Force this night sister witch. She intrigued me, as she was broken in spirit beyond repair. Something told me that she would bring forth to me at the time that Dark Lord of the Sith. I was wrong. Instead, she came with two other with who claimed to be greater than the Dark Lord, as well as another shooter or two. This move intrigued me as well. After surrendering myself to the will of the Force, I choose not to return to knowledge of the Jedi Order and instead went under cover. I went by my middle name, and changed my appearance. In fact, my brown hair and brown eyes? They were blonde and blue, without a beard. It was apart of my choose to learn more of what could drive people to make the choices that they did. But then something happened during my time with CoreSec…"

Kitt nodded to Garrick and then escorted him into a Jedi shuttle. After a quick warmup, the shuttle was off towards Coruscant...

Kitt took a long moment to observe Garrick from the Force. He was quiet, yet currents moved rather rapidly. There was something upon his mind, or the anticipation of an answer that ebbed off of him like a flare from a star. It was present enough on him, yet he did not speak of it. With a slight outwards acknowledgement of it, Kitt kept walking towards the hangar bay. "We are going to travel to Coruscant together. It was there that the journey that brought me back here started. I'll fill you in on the way, as we will have time during the travel to talk of such things. Although I will warn you, there is turmoil on the planet. While I do not believe that we will be in danger, the Force most certainly can move unexpectedly. And on top of that, I am almost fully certain our travels will continue on past Coruscant. But that is where your training will serve you best. In the field…" Kitt walked them both into the hangar bay, allowing a slower pace for Garrick to express his concerns, if he had any… (You can post a simple acknowledge if you want, or a detailed thing. I can post us taking off.)

"Yes, let it flow. Remember that a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. It's a powerful ally to have, one that flows through all living things!" Kitt held up his hand, immediately having all three remotes cease fire and returned to his hand as the Jedi Master stepped out into more of the middle of the room. Giving Garrick time to catch his breath, Kitt put back the remotes and indicated for Garrick to follow him. "Keep the training lightsaber. You're going to need it later on until you create your own. But for now, we can now begin the journey that answers your other question… So long as you're ready…"

Kitt watched Garrick move and feel the blade out. After a long time, when Garrick seemed to have a good feel for the blade and had worked up a sweat, Kitt stepped forward. "Now seems like a good time to train with the remotes. This requires the skill set you used earlier in feeling the Force move. You'll have to sense the remotes and anticipate where the remote will fire it's stun shots at you. I'll start it off easy with just one, and then as you get more comfortable, I'll add the other two until I can sense that you get the idea… Remember to trust your feelings. Stretch them out, feel the remote always…" Kitt activated one and stepped back away from the main area.

Kitt watched as Garrick picked hi blade out and felt it out before speaking. "The blade is weightless, making it harder to find balance. Each swing you take could end up taking off your own limb without proper training. Luckily, you are using a practice lightsaber, which is far safer for yourself, but it could still prove effective out in the field until you build your own. For now, swing the blade around a bit, then I will provide more training…" Kitt moved to collect three to five training remotes to help Garrick once he got control over the blade...

Kitt raised an eyebrow at the questions asked of him. He was expecting both of them, and he would answer both. But for the time being, Garrick would only receive one answer to his two questions. "Good questions. And the answers to both are far less entertaining then maybe you would like. I'll answer both, but not at the moment. For now, you get one. The other will be given at a later time." Kitt walked around a corner and headed for another training room. "Your sword, which is an ancient Sith sword, is one that is infused with the Dark Side of the Force. They feed off of anger and aggression. But they just don't feed off of it, they also enhance it, giving those emotions more strength. Since being a Jedi means to subdue your emotions… such a sword could prove hindering to your own progress. Plus, it could affect others in the Temple. So, I took it from you to protect you and the other padawans within the Temple." Kitt now walked into a large training room. It looked much like the other one they were just in, but almost completely bare of anything. The lone thing within the room was a cabinet looking thing which held a bunch of training lightsabers. "But as a Jedi, you will need to defend yourself as you travel the galaxy. Therefore our next lesson will be with a lightsaber. That cabinet has a few training lightsabers. Choose one and I will begin to do some training with you."

"The Force flows through everything. It's currents run deep, even when everything seems still. You must learn to feel it around you. Feel it within yourself, within me, within the obstacles, and even in the air that you breath. When things run out, like your physical stamina, your own senses, that is where the Force can take over. And it can do so because of it's nature. It's created by all living things. And therefore; it binds the galaxy together. Remember this always." Kitt then nodded his head towards the door and began to walk through it, knowing all too well that Garrick would follow him. "Now comes your turn. What is on your mind, or rather, what is in your heart?"
