Jacen nodded; perhaps this would clear things up with Cy lending a hand. "We might just have two mechanics, then. You'll be spaceworthy in half the time."

"I suppose that sounds ok then... The damage from the landing shouldnt be too bad, just the normal dents andscratches I beleive. The were some wires that popped loose somewhere within the ship though, I think thats what caused the problem. I haven't gone in and looked around yet though, so there could be more or less problems then anticipated. But hopefully with your help things'll get back on track, and I'll be off Yavin very soon." Silvrae thougt that she had done enough talking at this point, she didn't like talking that much. Now she had aid, and wasn't in danger of being killed. She could be off the plantet soon and back on her way. "THe ships back this way," she said quietly and jerked her head in the desirable direction. Deciding they could follow at their own paces she turned and started to walk back to the ship to get started. She half turned an walking backwards a few steps said, "I'm gonna go look at the ship, y'all can come when your ready or whatever." Then she turned back around and began her long strided walk back to the ship.

((Okay, you guys said to just jump in!! I know I'm taking some liberties with the structure of the Temple, so if I need to change anything just let me know.))
Jahke broke into a short trot, his footsteps loud and clattery in the echoing corridor. The halls in the outer circle of the Temple dormitories were narrow and winding, but he could have walked through them blindfelded. Both boys had been here almost since infancy. The crumbling structure only and dearest home they had ever known.
Curving around a bend, Jahke found himself blinking in the sunlight of a small courtyard on the East side of the domitories. Most people were sleeping through this hottest part of the day, or doing quiet indoor things, but not far off Jahke spotted a few of his groupmates knotted in the shade of the Temple.
"Hey!" he called out in greeting, jogging the short distance across the browning grass. His friend Yuri was there, and the pretty Twi'lek girl Achren, and a kid he didn't know so well named Dui-Bep.
"Hey," said Yuri warmly, "What's going on?"
Jahke shrugged. "What are you talking about?"
Achren responded, shaking her long fiery headtails, "Nothing, probably. Yuri's overreacting. Duri was out near the jungle..." Durin bobbed his head in affirmation. "...and he heard some noises. Things crashing, like maybe something big. And a few minutes later, Yuri saw Master Cy run out of the building. And now they think something exciting's happening." She glared at Yuri.
"She was going pretty fast!" he said defensively. "Anyway, what do you make of it, Jahke?"
Jahke squinted out across the courtyard, thinking. "Something crashing, right? Your heard that, Durin?" Once again the boy's head bobbed frantically. "And then... I dunno, guys. Guess it could be something interesting." He pondered for a moment more. What do you say..." he began slowly.
"Yeah, what?" prompted Yuri, rocking forward on his heels eagerly.
"Let's check this out, okay? I mean, without anyone seeings us, maybe."
"You mean spying?" snorted Achren.
Jahke ignored her, knowing he had them hooked. "Why shouldn't we? We could slip around there, through that bit of jungle, and around the side of domitories. Then, if we shadow the walls good enough, we can get across the front courtyard without anybody seeing. They should be out front, by the steps, right? We can see them from the edge of the courtyard. It won't be spying, exactly," he gave Achren a hard glance, and she pretended not to notice.
Yuri jumped in with enthusiasm. "It's more like watching, you know, like they're always telling us to do! Observe your surroundings, isn't that what they always say?" Durin's head bobbed vigerously.
"Let's go then. Stay behind me," he ordered, feeling the excitement growing inside of him as first Yuri, then Durin-bep, and finally, dragging and rolling her eyes, Achren fell in step behind him. This was the sort of thing, however childish and ridiculous he knew it to be, that should be done on summer days in the jungle...

"Everyone is welcome here," Luke finally said. "And you're welcome to fix your ship here."

Anger at the threat narrowed Cy's eyes, but then the Chiss's voice grew calmer, and with Jacen's direction she turned toward the apprentice. "I'm sorry, what's your name?" The Chiss was headed back into the jungle. It'd be kinda nice to know hers too...she's not so bad when she's threatening you. Popped wires sounded like something resulting from a strained hyperspace emersion... Cy gestured to the other Jedi. "Better follow her then. Thanks Jacen." and moved into the jungle after the Chiss.

Silvrae didn't turn around or stop even though she knew that the others were cominng... She didn't feel like it... Even though she heard the girl ask for her name she didn't want to disclose that yet. She was still to tense, still too unfamiliar with all the surroundings, still nervous about why her ship had suddenly gone haywire. But she shrugged all this thought off, and kept walking untill her ship could be seen ahead, and in her impatience she began to jog trot up to it.

Jacen left them to their work and started heading back towards the Temple. He wasn't sure yet where it was coming from, but he was beginning to receive the sensation that came when his senses told him he was being watched. Not from the jungle, he decided. Maybe we've got some mischief afoot.

Rin saw that she was being left behind, so she called to Kira. "Come on Kira, you can help too." she jogged until she was next to Knight Skywalker. "My name's Rin. Do you think she knows?"

Thinking to herself was just getting her more agitated, deciding that a fresh idea maaay be useful, just to start a different way of thinking, even though it was nearly absurd to think that one of these people knew exactly what had happened, especially since Silvrae had a very unique ship... Unless they were involved in taking it down, and this new thought angered Silvrae completely. Deciding that she would soon find out this information, and looking for a frresh start she called over her shoulder, "It couldn't have been a strained hyperspace emmersion, I wasn't exiting. I was merely sleeping on my way through space when i heard them. Though like i said there could be more than just popped wires afoot..." As she trailed off she wondered wether someone HAD done something to her ship... But she hadn't been on the groud for a while, if someone had done something, wouldn't there have been a problem earlier on? But Silvrae was no longer complaining about the planet, as much as she disliked it, it could be immensly worse, so she just carried on.

"Knows your name?" Cy said to Rin. "Don't think so...not that she seems keen to." With ease of long practice Cy made her way through the jungle, avoiding most plants. The crashed ship came into her vision as a silver hulk bisecting fields of trees and foliage, though already some creepers had begun to explore it. It was a sleek ship, and torn along the bottom. Cy jogged up beside Silvrae. "Well, you could start by showing me where the wires were if you know them. And I'd really like to know your name...temple security and all."

"I didn't mean my name," Rin muttered under her breath as Cy started talking to the Chiss. I should have explained what I meant more clearly, She silently scolded herself. Rin could plainly sense the Force in the stranger, but did she or Cy know? Maybe Kira did, she turned to ask her.

<<ok cy I'm gonna go with the extravagant nubian idea>>
Silvrae loooked at her own ship. THe wonderful ship that had already taken her pretty far through space. Now in a wreck before her. She let out a deep sigh, and turned to the girl, "Security? No such thing as trust any more? I am lost, alone but for my Krii,and my ship has been half destroyed. And now you want me to start throwing my name around as though it is worth nothing to me?" Silvrae paused slighty, pondering whether or not she should wait for the girl to answer her remark. She decided there was plenty of time in the day, and since she now had some more help, she decided it was ok to wait for a response before continuing with the tour of her ship. Almost teary eyed she looked up at the sky, thinking it's getting away. Every second i stand here on this planet the universe is going on without me. How come it doesn't have to worry about things like strange planets and broken ships! Grrrr

<<<NOOO! MY sig!! *whines*>>
Cy switched her attention between them, slightly catching Rin's words. "What?" She muttered to the other Jedi, not wanting to act as if she didn't care, as she so often did. Then to the Chiss, "It's just that this place must have a certain amout of trust in the people it contains. Tell me what you wish." Just the smallest bit annoyed by this impudence, Cy knelt down beside the ship. "I give you my name freely, and it tells a world more about me than I'm sure yours does you." Wires fell out into the jungle like the remnants of some dead beast. The strange mechanisms on the back of the craft, like abstract gyros and drives, cast strange shadows.

Silvrae mimble some random incoherant words, and then quietly and not polietly mutter, "Fine then, my name is much longer but you can call me Silvrae... and i don't think i know what you mean about your name. I have only vaguly heard of the jedi, and the name Cy Skywalker means nothing to me." She had this feeling that the girl had been questioning the reason for the popped wires and she added "NO, the popped wires were not the result of a strained hyperspace emersion, i was not emerging. I was in space trying to... well, i was just in space and then i heard them popping, so i jumped up, and thought it would be best to land else i might get of corse. I'm nearly sure I have in fact, it'll take these gadgets everything they've got to try and get steady again!" She chuckled slightly to herself, the mechanics of her ship were awesome, she had designed most of them herself too. They generally drew a lot of attention, the only thing that she did'nt like about them... "Well c'mon then all you!" She gestured to the cople of jedi in front of her, "I need to give you a small tour of my ship I suppose, if you're going to try and help fix it. Disregard the krii, she is a tame one... or as tame as something that smart can get... at any rate she is safe so, that's all fine!"

She's from far away. Outer Rim or farther Cy thought, if she didn't know the Skywalkers, but it wasn't gonna be Jedilike to press the point. She looked up at the ship a moment more before following the Chiss, whose name was undoubtably a shortening of something massive and involving to many commas for comfort. Thus was Cy's experiance with Twin Suns. "What's all this stuff for, exactly?" She asked.

[*blink* Wow... All righty... This is getting a little confusing.]
*Kira wasn't sure what to think... After all this time waiting to meet Master Skywalker and his Jedi Knights, she had been brushed aside, as though her arrival here was uneventful and unimportant. Couldn't he see that she had potential? Couldn't he see how hard she had worked to reach him? How hungry she was for knowledge? Her heart sank in her chest as the group began to separate, more interested in repairing a ship than in welcoming another into their ranks and sharing their secrets and powers. Wrapped up in her thoughts, she barely even heard Rin's voice telling her to come along. Even then, she was too stunned and disappointed to move for a moment. Reluctantly, she turned away from the temple and followed the others, although she lagged behind. Akysa soon came to her side upon seeing that she was not entering the temple as planned. Kira remained silent as she others talked, her mind racing.*

((I didn't mean to leave you out, but you haven't posted in a while...)) Forgeting her question and the stranger and her ship, Rin noticed the sad look on Kira's face. "What's wrong, Kira?" She said, worrying for the new girl.

*Kira snapped out of it slightly, looking to Rin. She quickly shook her head, forcing her expression to go blank.* "Nothing. I'm fine. I'm just thinking, that's all."

"You looked pretty sad, though. Do you miss home?" Rin noticed that Kira didn't want her emotions showing.

*Deciding that this was just as good an excuse as any, Kira nodded slowly. Besides, it was true.* "I have never left Haruun Kal before now. Here, things are so... different."
