"That is no excuse, Apprentice. You know the rules. A younger student would be understandable, but I would have expected more disipline from you." She rested her hands on her hips, still glaring at him sternly.
"You will be punished accordingly, rest assured. But right now... I am more concerned with that ship. Or whatever it was... did either of you get a good look at it?"

*She braced herself as the ship still continued it's descent. The repulsors whirred as they desperately tried to slow the ship. Raising the nose just a hair, she looked for a soft place to land the ship and aid in it's descent. There was a field just ahead...it was this that she aimed for. The shipped began to slow as the stalks of the grain slapped against it. The fields were caught on flame as the engines blazed a trail across the grasses. The ship bumped once or twice as she refused to put the landing pads down just yet. Flipping another switch the engines were gunned to their max as the ship lurched and slowed down drastically. It was going to be a rather soft landing afterall. Blazing lights and a trail of smoke rose into the night sky as a beacon to a ship in danger. Jedi couldn't refuse such a signal. Her body jolted forward as the ship finally landed and smoke rose off of it's hull. Inside, Rajani looked at the console and saw everything was still in one piece. Her gloved hand brushed her hair back as she calmly unbuckled her harness and climbed out of the cockpit. The distraction was made.*

Snake shook her head. Then she saw the ship crash and gasped.
"I think we should go over there and search for survivors. I'm sure if anyone could have lived through that!"

*Devlen's anger and frustration rose at the lack of understanding, of the feeling of being strangled, but he hid it. One of the greatest gifts his father had given to him was the ability to veil his emotions well, even to Jedi. He didn't really understand how he did it, but he did it, and it worked.*
"I didn't really get a good look...I'm sorry."
*It was then the huge plume of smoke rose up, and Devlen noticed it.*
"Whatever it was, i think it's crashed. Maybe we should go check it out."

Snake then began conferring with her thoughts.
It's a trap, you know you shouldn't go there... Well then, if it's a trap, I'll just have to spring it!

Lirra turned to stare at the rising smoke in alarm. Something about it didn't feel quite right... but if there was a chance someone had survived, it was their duty to help them.
"We will go... no doubt they will need help. Come on," She paused, giving Devlen an uncertain glance. He was willful, and untrained. If it turned out to be something more serious... 'I'll just have to trust him. "Both of you. Quickly."
She turned and trotted off, heading in the direction of the smoke.

Snake rushed off after Lirra, her footsteps making almost no sound as they hit the ground. Meanwhile, her bad idea alarm was going off.
ALERT! ALERT! BAD IDEA! ALERT! ALERT! BA- SHUT THE HELL UP!

ooc: bad idea alarm?  "Right behind you." *Devlen was actually kind of glad he swiped the lightsaber before he left...all he needed to do was fit the crystal and he'd have a weapon...his katana was back in his dorm on Coruscant...* |

*Quickly, she jumped to the ground and looked around. She was glad she took that extra time to plant the body of some poor soul from Nar Shaddaa in the back of the ship. With the crushed chest cavity and body being found in the pilot's seat, they would think the pilot had died or at least be stumped for a while....if she was lucky that is. The farmhouse was just ahead. If anyone was home....well, they wouldn't be home for too much longer. She ran hard trying to keep away from the glow of the flames and remain in the darkness. Gathering the Force around her, she tried to hide even her presence here on this planet. Once she had gotten away from the Jedi, she could unleash hell upon the land.*

As they got closer to the crash site, Lirra felt... something. But before she could quite put her finger on what it was it was gone again and quickly forgotten with the flames of the reckage so close.
"Be cautious." She said softly, looking back at the others.
"We still don't know exactly what we're dealing with..."

*Devlen nodded, his hand touching the cold metal of the lightsaber, it's missing crystal a worry to him. Where was he going to get one...? He pushed his worries aside and followed the Knight, looking around for clues of what had happened...but coming up blank.*

As they reached the spot where the ship had crashed Lirra stopped, reaching out to probe it with the Force, searching... searching...
She could feel something faint... but whatever it was, it was long dead.
"There is no life in that ship." She said after several long moments. "We are too late."

"Something doesn't feel right. I'm going to check the ship out."
*Devlen immediately made for the open hatch.*

*She found the back door to the house left open. It brought a soft chuckle to her lips as she couldn't believe even in this day and age that persons on Dantooine felt so secure that they left their doors unlocked. Slipping into the building, she quietly moved through it. Voices could be heard upstairs though they seemed oblivious to the intruder below. Rajani could see out the window as there were now figures standing by the ship. They had made better time than she had expected. Her head turned quickly as footsteps were heard running down the stairs. Rajani pressed herself against the wall as the man rushed out the door still pulling his cloak on. Waiting until he was gone, she raised her eyes towards the stairs again. No sound came from up there, but she knew the woman was probably watching out the window. Softly and quietly, she made her way up the stairs.*

"Apprentice, wait!"
Lirra hurried after him, grabbing him roughly by the shoulder. "We know virtually nothing about what happened here, beyond the fact that whoever was piloting this ship is now dead. Do not be brash. We will explore, but we will do so together and with caution. I don't like this any more than you do."
