Jeraldi smiled as Kvotha came from inside the ship. "At a girl." He thought to himself as he knew exactly what she was about to do. It was almost impossible to gain the information they needed from looking at every single compartment of the ship, but reading the entire ship could have devastating effects on her mind. "Relax Kvotha, let your mind breath with your lungs, nice and slow. Let your mind be like an expandable tunnel, moving with the influx of information coming through it. Darius, we need to allow her to use some of our force." He said looking towards Darius with a concerned look.

"Agreed," Darius said, nodding and opening himself completely to those around him. He had been keeping himself contained, keeping his true limits in the Force safely shielded within his mind. Until now. Now, he could feel the pulse of life from those outside the hanger, those flying overhead, those plotting and scheming, those saving and healing. It hurt to open himself so completely, but it also felt good to finally be free.

Matthias gasped as he felt a sudden explosion in the Force. Ten, no only three, Force users were combining their power. It was more beautiful than anything Matthias had ever felt. The sheer power of it, blooming and still expanding, washed over him, enticing in its flavor. "Oh, I must meet them," he said, closing his eyes and stretching his arms towards Onderon.

Jeraldi opened his mind and his body to allow his full force to flow through. It felt so beautiful, so powerful and amazing. "So much for being subtle." he said aloud laughing as they helped Kvotha. Suddenly Jeraldi felt something evil, and powerful, as if it was staring down on them in a lust for power. His heart raced as he knew something bad was going to happen to then once they reached Dxun, and they needed to be prepared.

Feeling a sudden wash of power encircling her and aiding her, Kvotha finally let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. It was hard to keep concentrated on just the ship when the rest of the world was there, in perfect reach of her mind. But she held herself in check, keeping her mind flexible yet focused as the memories channeled themselves into her brain. Image after image flew through her in quick succession: the creation of each individual part of the ship, every touch they'd received since. And then there was the assembly of the entire ship as each part was brought together into a whole.
At first Kvotha's mind was ready for the memories, flying high on the aide her friends had brought. The power was incredible, exhilarating. It was almost hard to breathe. But as the images kept coming she felt the edges of her mind beginning to give. Trying to hold on, to stay focused, she gave herself a mental slap and watched as the memories began to tell her the places the ship had gone, the people who had been in it or around it. Yet still she was slipping, the edges of her thoughts began to burn and she panicked, almost letting go of the ship.
No, she told herself severely, gritting her teeth. I need to do this. She steadied her body and kept her hands planted firmly on the front of the ship. Her power combined with that of Darius' and Jeraldi's should be enough. It was more than she'd ever felt in her life. She could, she would ignore the pain. So Kvotha kept holding on, keeping her mind flexible yet holding it against the push of the memories. Finally they began to slow, and she began to see the silver-haired man, scouting out the ship. And then themselves - her, Jeraldi, and Darius. There had been no tampering with the ship. It was in perfect condition.
Kvotha let out a sigh of relief and collapsed. Never again, she thought as the world spiraled.

Jeraldi kneeled beside Kvotha as she collapsed. "I know how hard that was for you. I could feel it. Let's get you back to the ship. You need some rest, as we all do."

Darius was numb in awe of the sheer power the three of them had managed to produce. The strength and skill with which Kvotha had read the ship's past was humbling. Darius himself was powerful, but what Kvotha managed went far beyond anything Darius could imagine.
Darius nodded at Jeraldi's words, instinctively reaching out to help Kvotha back to the ship. "Thank you," he finally managed to say, slowly closing his power back behind his wall in his mind. It would be a strange night, and he knew the future, what awaited them on Dxun, would be forever changed because of this single act.

Kvotha let Jeraldi and Darius help her back to the ship, too exhausted to say or think anything.

Darius and Jeraldi helped each other carry Kvotha back to Kali's ship, then Darius quickly went to bed, exhausted and contemplating their next move.

Jeraldi and Darius carried Kvotha back to the ship, where Darius quickly retired to bed. Jeraldi followed suit not too long after, getting in his normal sitting style and closing his eyes, as his body levitated above the ground.

Kvotha crawled into her bed, exhaustion permeating her body and mind. She lie there, waiting for sleep to slip over her, but it would not come. She sighed, restless. Why couldn't she fall asleep? Her mind was barely able to function, her thoughts floating slightly in and out of consciousness.

"As of this moment, neither," said Kali. "I do believe that you would kill us if you wanted to." Kali took a sip. "But that doesn't mean I wouldn't put up a hell of a fight."
She paused for a moment. Then her eyes popped out of her head. "Wait, you did what?" she asked. Kindness was still something she had a little trouble with.

Zane smiled, "Yea, as a gift of good faith, I bought you another ship, an even better ship, and I promise you will love it. I know that it's not yours, but with the modifications that are able to be made to it, you will have a field day with it."

Kali tried to say something but all that came out was a squeak. She hoped her eyes said "thank you" enough.
When she finally found her voice, it still didn't sound right. "Are you going to come with us then?"

"I may show up around there, but I won't be part of your expedition, I have my own goals to accomplish." Zane said, smiling that Kali was trusting him. He couldn't fall for this one, he refused to let himself. He used a Jedi calming technique to clear his mind so that he didn't give anything about his mission away.

Kali nodded. He sounded suspicious, but she was sure at the moment that at the very least he meant them no harm. It was enough for her. "I'll respect that you don't want to tell me," she said. "I understand, believe me. I just hope to see you again sometime."
Kali remained flirtatious, but she kept herself guarded. She couldn't risk falling for this man; she had a commitment to follow through with. But under any other circumstances...no. She refused to allow herself to think about it.
"So, what do you say we check on the others?" she asked.
