Part Seven: Four of Spades
I wanna know what's out there. I wanna experience it. It's more than looking through a telescope. I never appreciated Alderaan's beauty until I experienced it. I've got to board one of those shuttles.
"Having fun?" The youngling wraps up his thoughts as Rika strides up to him almost effortlessly. "Trying to get away from us again? You know it's dangerous up here. If you fall, well, let's not think about that.
"What can I say? I like being places. Anyways, you just got here. Sit down."
"We're about to get debriefed. You know we all get penalized if one of us doesn't show up. Plus, I hate being up here, especially crossing those ropelines," Rika says as she looks down below at the 210 foot drop to crashing waves. "Fine."
The Jedi Knights cross the 3-inch wide electro-current cables back to the main debriefing room.
"Jedi Knight Tempest, reporting."
"Jedi Knight Luna, reporting."
"Jedi Knight Rika, reporting."
"Jedi Knight Cyan, reporting."
"Excellent. Now, in exactly two hours you will be boarding a shuttle en route to the terra-formed planet of Kuat. You shall lay low and you will be further informed when you land," Jedi Master Klo states with a glint in his eye. Little did they know, these new Jedi Knights would soon be tested beyond their imaginations.
