I know, it kills me too. So, onto the next stage, Shall we?


Stage Two: Anticipation

Randy's P.O.V

We landed on Ossuso about a mile away from the Academy, flying over the ruins. It gave me a headache, just on the fly over. I have some good memory's of this place, and a lot of bad ones. I still remember evacuating the planet, during the Academy's destruction, as my brothers died around me. It was one of the hardest days of my long life. And now, fast forward all these years later, Satele and I are here to search for the records on... me, although she doesn't know that yet.

"This is as close as we can get." Satele states.

I nod my head. "This will do. Let's get going."

Every time I see this place, combined with what they did to me, I realize why we stand against the Sith, and why we have done so for so many millennia. All that death and destruction, on both the academy, and the planet itself, was all so devastating, and looking back now, unnecessary. In many ways, these acts were similar to that of Malak's actions, during the Jedi Civil War. It was one of a variety of reasons why I had so much more respect for Revan, than Malak.

Satele seemed to notice how I was lost in my train of thought. "Randy, are you okay?"

"I just... I can never figure out what type of bastards could do something like this."

"Only the Sith would do something like this."

"Yeah. Come, let's get in, and get out as quickly as possible. I never have an easy time in this place."

The biggest danger in the Ossus Academy, is the structural integrity of the room, which is very poor, to say the least. The last time I came here, which was pretty recently, there were no beasts in the ruins, at all. We should be safe, as long as we are ready to use the Force to keep the roofs from coming down, and crushing us. We go to the level of the records. Some time ago, I came here, and found the records tampered with. As an added measure, I installed a security system to the door. Although that was probably a hundred or so years ago. I go to enter the code.

"Fuck." I said.

"What's wrong?" Satele asked me.

"I forgot the damn codes."

"Use your Lightsaber."

"No, I have my own way." Sometime ago, I learned how to use the Force to guide my fingers, in entering a code into a security system. I quickly remember the code, using this technique. I have to get a droid, to help me remember this type of thing.

"How did you do that?" Satele asked me.

"I'll tell you later. Let's get in there, and find those records."

We split up. I knew exactly where to go. I let her look around, and waited until she either called to see if I found something, or until she started looking where I was.

"Randy, did you find anything?" She finally called out.

"Yes I did."

She followed the sound of my voice, and by the time that she got to my location, I already had all of the data the Council wanted, on a datapad.

"I've got what we came for. Let's get out of here. We can look at the data on the ship."

We left the archives, and proceeded to the exit. Right at the exit, Some of the roof started to crumble down. I managed to keep it from crushing us, but one of it managed to hit Satele on the head.

"Dammit!" I shouted. She was still conscious, but was rubbing the back of her head, and looked dazed and confused. I rushed to her side. "You okay?" She nodded her head. I slung her arm over my shoulder. "Let's get out of here before it starts to come down more!" We quickly got back to the ship, and left Ossus.
