Kiineq is headed for the Room of Thousand Fountains.
It feels good to be back in the Temple again. It has been a quite long and trying mission.
Now he just has to catch up on what has been going on while he has been away.
Entering the room, he moves for his favourite spot on a bench under a large, very green tree.

Unfortunately, his favourite spot is already taken by another Master. One, he may know as Ichys Jade. Her long, red hair is hanging lose down her back, and as she's leaned slightly forwards to read a datapad, it covers most of her face also.

The tall man stops anyway, politely greeting the other Jedi.
"Master Jade." he says, inclining his head ever so slightly.

Ichys looks up from her datapad, nodding politely to Kiineq, and rests the datapad in her lap.
"Master Tiran"

"May I join you?" Kiineq ask, indicating the bench.
It has been quite a while since he has last spoken to her, and he usually makes a point of keeping in touch with as many Jedi as he can.

Ichys nods once, moving slightly to the side of the bench, making room for the bigger man. She turns off the datapad before turning her attention fully to Kiineq.
"of course you may. I always welcome the company of another Master" Her voice is polite.

"Thank you" He says, smiling at her.
Kiineq sits down.
"It seems that a lot has happened while I've been gone..." he says thoughtfully, staring at the nearest fountain.

Ichys nods slowly, her slim fingers putting the long hair behind her ears.
"Indeed, to say otherwise would be to lie..." She looks at Kiineq.
"Things are not looking good, Master Tiran. I am afraid that if things continue this way, the Galaxy will no longer trust the Jedi"

Turning his head to look at her, Kiineq sighs.
"No, you're right. And that is a thing we cannot afford" he says.
The Master pauses for a moment. "Perhaps you can tell me more of what exactly has been going on?"

Ichys gives him a short laugh.
"The more appropriate question would be what hasn't been going on..." Her expression becomes serious again.
"Well, Master Kian and his padawan returned from Jandoon. Master Kian was badly wounded and without legs, and the padawan naturally pretty shaking. Padawan Sinn'da has lost her Master. Padawan Sarré escaped from the infirmary, and youngling A'Lyra has been kidnapped..."

Kiineq cocks an eyebrow at the mention of all that.
"Yes, I had heard the news about Padawan Sinn'da's Master" he says, bowing his head in a gesture of respect for the dead Jedi. Despite what he has just been teaching his own Padawan about death, loosing good Jedi is never easy.
"And I was informed of Master Kian's situation as well. But that Padawan Sarré had escaped and that the Youngling A'Lyra had been kidnapped is news to me. Have they been located yet?" he asks, a sligthly worried frown starting to form on his face.

"Padawan Sarré was found the same night she escaped, luckily" Ichys nods slowly.
"My own padawan, and Padawan Tianara found her and managed to calm her down enough to bring her back to the temple..."

"I am glad to hear that" Kiineq says, relief almost showing in his face. "I take it she was quite distressed?"
As if he dreads the answer, or perhaps already has guessed, he waits a moment before asking: "And Youngling A'Lyra?"
|

Post by Ichys Jade on May 10, 2009 22:44:59 GMT 1
Ichys shakes her head.
"Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate her yet..." She leans back on the back, looking around on.
"She was kidnapped in the lower levels..."
|

|
Post by Kiineq Tiran on May 10, 2009 22:53:18 GMT 1
Surprise evident on his face, Kiineq stares at Ichys.
"The lower levels?!" he exclaims "How did a Youngling end up in the lower levels?"

"You tell me...she's not even living at the temple, but the Chu'Unthor. A Wookiee kitchen boy accompanied her outside...apparently they were...exploring" Ichys has a stern look on her face. She doesn't like jedi breaking the rules...

Something akin to disbelief is now showing on the tall Master's face.
"Exploring the lower levels with a kitchen boy?" It's clear that this is unsettling to normally very calm man.
Kiineq sighs deeply. "Seems it will be no wonder if the galaxy no longer trust the Jedi."
"And I assume there is no sign of who or what might have taken her?" he asks.

Ichys shakes her head slowly.
"So far we have not been contacted by the kidnappers, and there were no indications as to where they might have taken her..."

"So it's like finding a needle in a nest of gundarks"
Kiineq takes a deep breath.
"What about the kitchen boy?"

Post by Ichys Jade on May 11, 2009 20:27:46 GMT 1
"He's the one who alarmed the temple. Apparently he got away. Now he's just blaming himself for what happened. He's a very...unWookiee Wookiee if you ask me"
|
|
|
Post by Kiineq Tiran on May 11, 2009 20:46:01 GMT 1
"And I don't suppose he has been able to give any valuable information at all?"
|
|
|
Post by Ichys Jade on May 11, 2009 21:07:15 GMT 1
"Not much...he didn't see he took her. They stunned A'Lyra and a local girl from one of the nearby buildings. The Wookiee only saw the shots, and managed to run before he was hit too..." She sighs, heavily.

Post by Kiineq Tiran on May 11, 2009 21:24:03 GMT 1
"So for all we know, A'Lyra and the other girl could be on the other side of the galaxy by now." It's more of a statement, than an actual question.
"That local girl, who was she?"
|
|
|
Post by Ichys Jade on May 11, 2009 21:48:40 GMT 1
Ichys shakes her head
"I do not know. According to the Wookiee, it was someone he and Padawan A'Lyra met when they went to the lower levels. Apparently A'Lyra found her fascinating and they decided to go on adventures together...."
|

Post by Kiineq Tiran on May 11, 2009 22:14:52 GMT 1
It seems that Kiineq is lost in thought for a moment.
"Could it be possible that it was the local girl the kidnappers were after?" he finally thoughtfully asks "... and that they only got the Youngling as an added 'bonus', so to speak"
|

Post by Ichys Jade on Jun 11, 2009 19:21:50 GMT 1
Ichys shakes her head
"According to the Wookiee, the local girl was very poor, and seemed to have no real idea of life above the lower levels. I doubt they were after her..."

Post by Kiineq Tiran on Jun 11, 2009 20:06:47 GMT 1
Kiineq suppresses a sigh. This is not good at all.
"What has been done to try and locate them so far?" he finally asks.
