Catching a Falling Knife - Part 6.0

by Advisor KitKat the Mentat

The next day was the holiday celebrated locally as Chalcedon Valentine's Day, also known as "Wookie Love Day".
 
I noticed
Yoda said this holocron we seek might be The First Holocron ever made and might contain the first ever teacher of the Force, pre-dating the Jedi, "Keeper of the 5 gates". Yoda has studied the Second holocron which contains an index of the first holocron. It says there is a key and a way to travel great distances. Holocrons can only be opened by certain people. The first one can be opened by anyone, but most might not want to do so. W\It includes lost ways to move star systems.
 
Hmmm... (So, I'm going to encrypt that one file so not just anyone can find it and read it.)
 
Captain Koleen arranged a perfect cover for our trip to Dantooine. A trader named Jalum Carr of SerinStar Construction would pay for mining / refinery equipment to be delivered.
 
There was a chime at the airlock to the Night Sparrow. "Permission to come aboard?", said Rex. I made his acquaintance and got his contact information. He and his (clone?) brother. I said I would contact my captain and let him know our price to deliver the two of them.

I contacted, Doc, Vanya, Davish, and Captain Kolleen (in that order) and found that his "brother" must be a fellow named Skywalker. I was well informed by that point and made ready to offer Rex a cost of 8 credits plus the chance of providing help with sweet-talking any hostiles if we should encounter any.
 
Suddenly, the power went out. Almon, Danar, and I found ourselves in the dark and narrowly missed by an assassin's dart. We activated our shield belts, but the cargo bay door was too big for us to block the person in black who was attacking us from inside the cargo bay. At Danar's suggestion, I attempted to power up the cargo door with my datapad.
 
The figure in black tights (female perhaps?) reached through Almon's shield but did not harm him too badly. Danar shot her, but Almon's shield blocked the bolts.
 
She threw more than a dozen killer spider droids at us. I gave my entire datapad battery to get that cargo bay door shut.
 
It shut...
 
... with Danar, Almon, me, and the spiderbots trapped together on the same side of the door with the assassin.
 
Danar shot a crate full of now-blaster-cooked beef stroganoff onto the assassin. She rolled and dodged.
 
I reached out into the Math and found the spider droids were acting as a hive mind, searching for their target to apply their "stingers". I rewrote a bit of their code to change the target to the woman in the black combat suit.
 
They did.
 
At nearly the same time, I handed Almon my droid restraint bolt to weaponize.
 
He did.
 
We ducked behind a crate while the assassin took the brunt of the ionizing discharging gaseous cloud.
 
The second assassin pulled me away and held a needle to my throat big enough to cut through a starship. (It could have been a matter of forced perspective in the moment. It was right in my face.)
 
Danar shouted the number of an episode of Jedi Quest where a Jedi pulled a weapon out of a villain's hand. I prepared to duck out of her reach.
 
Sure enough, Danar used his small tractor beam to attempt to pull away her weapon.
 
Almon tackled Danar out of the reach of a third assassin who shouted the number of another episode of Jedi Quest called, "Assassin's Gambit".
 
Danar looked up at his shapely assassin who obviously had excellent taste in quality entertainment, and said, "Marry me?", which I think was reminiscent of a tremendously emotional moment from another episode of Jedi Quest where two enemies from different factions quit their orders and formed a new life for themselves and had a happy ending.
 
Astonishingly, she shot the assassin holding me instead of Danar or Almon or me. She took off her mask to reveal that she was a Dathomirian.
 
Hmm.
 
Yosha Nolzi, her name was, she said to Danar as Almon and I attempted to give them some privacy and manually turn the tiny cranks which eventually opened the cargo bay door.
 
Outside was a fight going on at Captain Koleen's ship, (the Starrise Falcon) between Crimson Knights and Void Widows.
 
Almon got to work removing the power dampener that had suppressed all the electricity on the Night Sparrow.
 
I reached out into The Math and found three more packages of Spider Droids. I woke them up and gave them a target of the nearest person in a black combat suit.
 
I used the Vorpadaran card to order from Meal Munchie the closest equivalent to Vor chocolates delivered by a golden 3PO droid to the lounge in the Sparrow.
 
The clones found that our finding the truth about the attack on the CK's caused someone to want very badly to kill all of us who knew the truth.
 
 
 
===OUT OF CHARACTER===
STARS:
Way too many to list.
 
GARTERS:
The phrase, "Marry me?" is reminiscent of a tremendously emotional moment from another episode of Jedi Quest where two enemies from different factions quit their orders and formed a new life for themselves and had a happy ending.

GAME STAT CHANGES:
-1 force point to save Danar, Almon, and me with the cargo door.
