Sargan is coming

by Aerena 'Relentless' Kolene

After the dust settles, the refugees come out of the cave. One is toting a globe that appears to have a representation of a solar system. Suddenly So'Zen is no longer himself - AGAIN. While we are trying to understand his enthusiastic response to the device as Dr. Zack the planetary communications system goes down. I can fly, but landing near a settlement might be an issue. I turn to Spook and ask her to see if she can find us a backdoor in the comm net. She says there is a smuggler band as well as an old Vor chat that might be usable. Spook finds that one smuggler band is flooded, but she thinks she can piggyback onto it if we need to. She does say that the Vor channel is just as flooded as the main channels which is weird as most don't remember that channel is there. I ask if she can tell who or what is flooding the channel and all she can tell is that it appears to be some sort of massive calculations. We will keep the backdoor in the smuggler channel to ourselves for now.
 
Then from where Dr. Zack is, light explodes and then we can see a ruin from somewhere else with equipment that we can see and almost like we can touch it. As I look closer, I am confused about what the things actually are even though I can tell that it is a work room with tools. In the distance behind the workroom, we can see an ocean and waves and then lightning flashes across the sky - from the ground up! Once the lightning strike flies up, the sand falls away from an obelisk and we can see the entire clear crystalline structure though there is a touch of a milky glow as the blue white lightning goes off several times. Then inside the workroom we can see Almon D'Joy and he appears to be frantically looking for something in the workroom. He is using a sensor glove like Kit Kat has and we can see that it is registering as unknown tech. Then it all disappears back into the device.
 
We are flummoxed and then Dr. Zack says that we need to go north as this is where he was trying to go the last time he was our guest. So'Zen steps in and pulls up a holomap to show us where he thinks we need to head. Dr. Zac agrees that is correct. We start heading that way when we have eight more of those droid creatures drop from the sky and head for Dr. Zack. He squeals and heads for the interior of the ship. Davish uses the Night Sparrow as a bludgeon and knocks some of the droids around and throws a cover of sand over the one in front of me. I take that opportunity to shoot my plasma blaster and encase him in glass. Since it is super-heated, the glass seeps into the interior of the droid. It is not deactivated yet, but I feel that there is a good potential for it to die still. I hear Spook get into the X-wing and begin to prep for flight. Then I hear a slight uptick in the engine noise and I turn to see the droid behind the X-wing get an ion blast and crackle until it shuts down. I turn back around to see the droid in front of me explode in a shower of glass, sparks, and components.
 
I take this opportunity to jump into the x-wing and hover to shoot the droid closest to me and while it looks like the shield might hold, it collapses, and the droid explodes. I see the rest of the team get onto the Night Sparrow and then it flies to the southwest and everyone can see four figures covered in sand who were probably the spotters for the droids. I turn to shoot the next closest droid and manage to take down shields and explode it as well. I then move to be between the last two droids and the Night Sparrow and get ready to fire on the next one, when they suddenly fly off again. Spoiled brats who can't take losing the fight! I turn to follow the Night Sparrow as we head to the coordinates that Dr. Zack gave us. No drama on the way, but that means all the drama will be for when we arrive.
 
We head west from the estate and as we are heading across the ocean, we see an island. This has to be the same one from the vision? hologram? whatever that device showed us earlier. We can even see the obelisk and an occasional flash of lightning from it. Davish contacts me via comms and suggests we go in low behind the mesas and land out of sight. We manage to fly in and land on the shore with the mesas between us and the ruin. We power down and lock the landing gear so it should be safe until we return. We carefully navigate to the temple and apparently So'Zen finds us a hidden way in. Vanya says he is hanging around and helping us - which is unusual.
 
We enter the top of the temple and see that is was probably a landing platform in the past. We enter and start going down some stairs and come to a large room. There is signs of a major battle far in the past which caused the ceiling to fall down in various areas. There are also several troopers and pit droids in the room that are searching for something. Dr. Zack points out a symbol on the floor where we are standing which matches a symbol across the room as well as a device that makes up a third triangle point. Vance reports that there is a circuit that needs to be closed to power up everything so he modifies his cloaking device and heads over to the other crystal. I stand on this one to get ready for when something might happen. Suddenly the crystal feels warm and I can feel energy flowing and there are glowing lines. The energy zaps the pedestal and then there are crowds of holograms of hundreds of beings. As the various members of the party enter the room, holograms to match their race appear. I step off the crystal and Vanya and I head out to assist Dr. Zack as he is trying to find a hidden compartment. The holograms do not instantly disappear, but I get a strong sense of a timer at work and we need to hurry to get downstairs before we are noticed by the bad guys in red.
 
We are about to head down the stairs when Dr. Zack starts babbling about he found it and no one else could and then we hear a voice from below. It is Almon D'Joy. I am torn between taking the loot and taking care of the problem once and for all. I vote we go up as we are not ready for a final battle. Then Vanya asks one of the holograms if there is anything down below that shouldn't fall into the hands of evil. He responds with only the 'mind's eye". I sigh in defeat. We have to go down. Dr. Zack is sent off with the loot and Bishop who can fly the ship for him. Before he leaves he hands Vanya a jedi communication device and tells us that Sargon is an eborrean title. I hear a shuttle landing and then the turbolift opens and a giant of a man walks out and tells his group to find Vance Kerplocken.
