Wreckage

As far as Cara was concerned the rest of the trip went by quickly. By the time they left hyperspace above the nameless planet Cara was more confident in her ability to use the healing trance.

The static sound of a transmission echoed through the ship waking Cara from her trance.

"This is the Raven's Claw asking for permission to land. Sending docking code." Jan spoke back.

"Docking code accepted, please land on the third platform." Came the response.

Jan became to turn the ship towards the planet and began to enter the atmosphere of the planet ahead of the Jade Saber.

As the group exited their ships a Republic official hurried up to them.

"I'm sorry for all the protocol Master Skywalker." He said addressing Luke.

"I understand. We'll take a speeder to the wreckage." Luke said to him.

"Right away? If that's what you wish. Please follow me then." He said and led them to a hanger.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Kyle muttered as he followed the others.

"That's Luke's line…" Cara muttered back.

--

Luke pushed the land speeder quite hard, eager to get to the ship wreckage.

"Hey Luke. What is it your always saying about patience?" Mara teased.

Luke gave her a withering look.

"Don't worry 'Master Jedi' I understand." Mara said to him gently.

"I've never been on a desert planet before." Cara said, "and considering that I've been to any other type of environment I have to wonder why."

"I know why..." Kyle muttered. "Sand gets into uncomfortable places…"

Jan punched him in the arm.

"Hey! What was that for?" Kyle whined at her.

"The 'model' couple…" Mara muttered

"The wreckage isn't much further." Luke interrupted their bickering.

"How did the Republic find it?" Jan asked him.

"Well as you can see the Republic is trying to set up outposts on some of the more remote planets in the Outer Rim. As they where scouting perimeters they located a part of the wreck, they brought in some equipment and uncovered more of it. Once they found the old Jedi insignia they halted the excavation and contacted us." Luke explained to them all. He turned his attention back to the speeder controls and the electronic map.

"How come the only people here then are New Order Jedi?" Mara asked.

"I thought you would be the best people to bring along." Luke replied simply. No one missed how he ignored the 'New Order' comment. It was well known by most Jedi Knights in the Order that there was a definite division between the Old Order Jedi who stood as Masters within the Order and the New Order Jedi who had also attained the rank of Master. Many Old Order Masters believed that the New Order was far too 'relaxed' in it's rules. Luke had often pointed out that the Old Order had fallen and he was simply rebuilding it differently to avoid the same consequences. Many of the handful Old Order Jedi had agreed with him. The others hadn't and they in particular were the kind who opposed Jedi such as Cara, Kyle and Mara, Jedi who had been involved in the Dark Side.

"There it is." Mara pointed out the metallic hull of the damaged ship.

Luke turned the speeder towards it and set it down smoothly.

Kyle and Luke were the first two out of the speeder.

Jan had decided to stay with the speeder 'just in case'.

Kyle had accused her of laziness resulting in his other arm being punched.

Mara took a large carry bag and hurried over to Kyle and Luke.

Cara and Jan gathered together the smaller packing boxes.

"I guess Luke really hopes to find something here." Jan said to Cara.

"No kidding…" Cara muttered and shifted the boxes in her arms.

--

The Republic excavators had tipped the ship slightly so that it rested more firmly on the ground.

"Look at these crates!" Luke exclaimed after easily picking the old lock. "Whoever these Jedi are they fled with a lot of records!"

Kyle opened the door leading to the cockpit.

"Guys? You might want to see this…" Kyle said his voice sounding strained.

Cara glanced through the door.

Five decomposed bodies where in the cockpit. Two of them where the corpses of younglings.

"They didn't make it…" Mara said quietly.

"At least they didn't die in vain." Kyle pointed out to them. "It seems they saved many valuable records for us, even if that wasn't the intent."

"Anyway," Mara said briskly, "lets get this stuff out of here. Kyle you can quit exploring and help me carry these boxes out and repack the smaller things."

"I'll sort through the cockpit." Luke offered, "Cara would you mind checking the crew quarters?"

"Sure." Cara agreed happy to leave the cockpit. She grabbed a few bags and opened the door leading to the crew quarters. A quick check revealed that one side of the ship was badly damaged and it was impossible to enter the rooms. The other side of the ship had survived intact.

Cara entered the room. It was mostly empty except for a personal storage box at the foot of each bed.

The first contained Jedi robes and a small pouch of lightsaber crystals. A damaged data pad was there as well.

The second crate held very similar objects to the first except it had a small box of lightsaber parts and no data-pad. Cara assumed those two crates where of Jedi Masters. If she was right then the other three crates would contain items belonging to a Knight and the two Padawans.

In the next two boxes she found very little. Spare robes in both and a training remote in one.

It was what was in the Knights box she found most interesting. Apart from the robes found in all the boxes there was a data-pad and a lightsaber. Cara checked the data-pad and found it undamaged. She unhooked a small energy cell from her belt and attached it to the pad. It hummed into action in her hands.

It's been more then a week since we fled the temple. Something caught up with us today. A Sith. It struck both the Masters. Master Kryan is very badly injured despite what he says.

The Sith got away but he left his lightsaber. I still have it.

I can't forget that Sith. I cannot explain it, but I am so scared of it. Even in the night it's eyes haunt me, they wont leave my dreams. Nothing in this galaxy should have golden coloured eyes….

Cara turned the data-pad off. Silently she placed the pad in one of the small packing boxes. She turned her attention to the saber. Cara activated it. The blade hummed to life not the expected red colour. The blade was completely white. A static sound came through her com-link.

"This is Jan! Get out of there all of you, the outpost is under attack!"
