Void Widows come in 3s

Episode3.10 - Knife in the Shadows


Plot

Atunda,
16 Yelona,
12731

 
We're probably going to be going to Dantooine to spring a trap.

 
It is the most direct way to find out what the point is of this elaborate year-in-the-laying twice=forged record of the mass murder in the Crimson Knights Hall on Coruscant, followed by the forged record of the investigating Judges' murder.

 
I wonder what passengers will be aboard the Night Sparrow by the time we launch?

  • Davish and I , obviously.

  • Probably New Guy Zam Ello.

  • Maybe Minsa Sol -- but I think he may have been absorbed into the wake of Ambassador Countess Vorkosigan.

    • (It's almost always safe to assume that someone has gotten absorbed into a nearby Vorkosigan's wake. This is one of the reasons I try to keep a polite distance.)

  • Hicks might dock his X-Wing with us so he can move about during travel.
    Or he might fly escort for the Starrise Falcon.
    Or he might nope on out to go find his own, less bumpy path.

  • Danar, almost certainly.

  • If we have Danar aboard, it's sensible to expect KitKat , which makes it statistically an absolute that we will have "Heath Toffee" a.k.a. Almon D'Joy

 
My question then becomes: Do we have Roughnecks? Or an assignment of other Beskar Aran? That would be a hint at some sort of political self-determinism happening away from me.

Do we have additional Crimson Knights? Might be just because they want a brother knight to not have to feel alone. Might be because they do not want to feel left out of this matter either.

Or do we lift with no bonus passengers?

 
Master Yoda left me a return voicemail about "Holocron 2".

Ancient holocron you are looking for

Lost it is

Second one, I have.

First holocron: importance carried in name. Predate the Jedi, it does.

Second holocron carries notes suggesting first holocron carries information, it does, on core of the foundation of what we all believe.

First holocron said to be created by the first teacher. Not a Jedi; but the first teacher of the Force.

Second holocron has details on what is called The Way of Five Gates. Much discussion this has been among masters through the centuries of what are the Five Gates. Some of us believe gates can be principles, ways of meditation upon ways of the Force that have been forgotten. Others believe gates are branches of the Force such as what are seen today: Jedi. Mentat. Crimson Knight. And so on.

 
It is suggested, the materials I have studied on second holocron explain ways to move across the stars more easily. It suggests the first holocron contains a key, a way to open a door. A door built by the first teacher.

 
As you know, Vanya: Holocrons contain a teacher. But only can they be opened by certain people...

 
He goes on to list indices contained within the second holocron for contents of 1st holocron, which can be opened by almost anyone. Be careful with the 1st holocron; it may actually be listening.

 


 
While preparing for departure, we each headed to relevant parts of Port Etmar.

A faction of our enemy attack, sending Void Widows.

Perhaps their expectation was that we would each be vulnerable when we are all distanced to the point that we cannot cover each other.

Danar, KitKat, and Almon are at work within the Night Sparrow: they gather in the corridor as soon as the ship's power goes out. They can work together to deal with the sudden assassin darts.

Aerena and Zaye Kolene leave the children with Corporal Babysitter Goss inside the Starrise Falcon. The Kolenes race toward the Chancellor's Building, where Noki Sunfell is in combat.

Davish, inside Dirtside Cantina, knows that additional danger is coming for Goss and the Kolene children. He is the closest member of "the family" that I can get on a holocall; he heads that way.

Since I'm at the Revolving Temple, I need to travel across half the city to get to the attack on Beskar Local HQ. I yell for Boba Fett, then run to him. He is all out of time for wrapping his mind gently around his position as Eldest Mandalorian Sibling in this family. I tell the Crimson Knights in conversation with him to go back up Davish right away; I instruct Boba to get me to the family members in danger. Now.

 
Aerena races into the capital building. Zaye, Fett, and I stay outside to fight the concealed snipers/whatever.

 
Someone hit me with Force Lightning.

 
I am Jedi Knight Vanya Ysadora. Student of Anakin Skywalker, student of Qui-Gon Jinn, student of Count Dooku.

Did you really expect that I would not know how to withstand your hatred throttled down into a bit of lightning?

You got woefully inadequate research.

 
I have rescued the kyber crystal from her lightsaber.

(I think Boba Fett may have disintegrated her.)

I reassured it that I know exactly what to do to give this crystal proper care.

(Crimson Knights are ideal for this!)

 
Gathered intel is that this whole widespread attack had a major focus to attack the Crimson Knights and also BoSS.

A signal went to Spacers' Tears and a signal went to the Spaceship Graveyard.

Davish Tam and Zaye Grakkus Kolene are top targets numbers 1 and 2.
