A cold feeling. A suffocating feeling. The flicker of life being extinguished. Something was wrong. Something was terribly work.
"Wake up Master Drystan." an ghostly voice said closely distant to Master Davijaan Drystan's point of awareness.
Master Drystan opened his eyes. Awoken in a cold sweat he blinked rapidly.
"Blast it. Niner. Commence activation sequence." He said looking over to his Republic Sentinel Droid. Most Jedi do not see droids as anything more then machines. Which if you wipe the droids memory; would be true. But RSD-09 or as Master Drystan calls him 'Niner' has not had a memory wipe. Made it a better lightsaber practice droid. Which proved beneficial. By practicing with Niner Master Drystan was able to keep is skills honed and sharp. Which proved to save his life multiple times. He specialized in the skill set of a Jedi Sentinel. And soon once the rest of the Jedi High Council came back to the temple Master Drystan may replace Master Zallow has the Jedi Battle master. But aside from Drystan's abilities, not wiping Niners memory also made Niner a better friend. At least as far as Master Drystan was concerned.
"Yes hello Master 'Master' Drystan. And good morning." Said the droid in a plane monotone.
"You know addressing me as master twice is redundant."
"Oh really Master Drystan? Between my mastery of thousands of galactic languages I do not believe I ever learned to comprehend the word "Redundant" Master 'Master' Drystan." Niner said coyly in a sarcastic tone. "Besides dosen't calling me 'Niner" violate your Jedi Code involving attachments?"
"If it does I do not care." But enough small talk. Commence radio check on the temple guards. If the results of the radio check bring cause for concern I would like you to scan the temples interior for intruders."
"Disturbance in the force master? Standby... standby...standby...standby..." The droid droned on for a minuet longer before reporting in. "Master Drystan my radio check has resulted in the total of 10 Jedi Security Guards not checking in. They are all posted near the Main Entrance.
"Scan for-" Master Drystan was cut off as the temple shook. Something had just impacted the Jedi Temple. And with it the stench of the Dark Side came with it. "Cancel that order. Initiate live fire combat protocols. Arm yourself and follow me." Master Drystan reached out with his hand and summoned his lightsaber from his desk as he flew through the room through the room in a diagonal flip, he unlocked his door in midair using the force landing in the corridor in a Form 3 defensive stance. He turned his head towards Niner who had now emerged from the room.
"Master. I am always armed. Lead on."
