Mission Report 3946 BBY Q1
The cantina is dark, full of smoke and thunder. The smell of cheap tobacco and cheaper whiskey stains the floors, the ceilings, the tables and the chairs. There are only a few seats, but enough for the clientele.
Humans, most of them with military regulation haircuts, dominate the place. Sith military haircuts.
Not, historically, a great sign for an alien.
Say... a chiss.
With no visible weapon. Or armor.
And a big Republic starbird sewn onto the right shoulder of his blue jacket.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" A huge man, meat and muscle, gets up from the bar as Kazon enters and glares him down.
Kazon walks towards him.
"You Trada Blue-blast?"
"Yeah. Who wants to know?"
"A Jedi." A moment later, a green lightsaber bursts to life; and pandemonium ensues.
Mission 1 (Knight Kador Shirot, Padawan Sorda, The Core)
-Padawan Sorda-
My first test! Master Kador wants me to help clean out some local cantinas with local law enforcement while he is busy with some sort of droid mumbo-jumbo.
Our first target is the Blaster Dragon Cantina on the lowest level of Coruscant. A worse hive of scum and villainy I've never seen; but it will be done.

Mission 2 (Knight Breda Sunguard, Padawan Atris, Master Juhani, 1 Padawan)
-Knight Breda-
You'd really think hiding a goddamn warship would be harder, right? Like, they aren't exactly the smallest, subtlest things, especially not the Sith ones. But surprise, surprise, this jumped up assassin can pull some kind of bullshit.
Don't get me wrong, I think we can take her in a straight fight; she's strong, but not that strong.
No, the bigger issue is her constant running like a child.
But she has soldiers, who she needs to feed; and a ship she needs to fuel. And it just so happens, I know exactly where the Sith do that.

Mission 3 (Bao-Dur, Bastila, 3 Padawans)
-Grandmaster Bao-Dur-
We've received an anonymous report detailing a supposed Czerka meeting site.
I realize it's probably a trap, but in my experience, the best ways to deal with those are to set them off.
Besides, I'd really hope five Jedi could take a few dozen mercenaries.

Mission 4 (Brianna and Ossin, Colonies)
-Padawan Ossin-
After I knocked him out, Mandalore has proven more amenable to helping me.
And I do mean me. Since I was the one to knock him out, I am the one he is working with. Seems sort of bass ackwards to me but then, I'm no Mandalorian.
The mission, in any case, is simple. We're trying to get an at-least neutral relationship with the Mandalorians; but they are proving less than amenable, even after I broke the ice.
After all, they are a fractured bunch; impressing one is far from impressing all of them.

Mission 1 (Knight Kador Shirot, Padawan Sorda, The Core)
For such a supposedly high-and-mighty species, they were sort of paper Wampas.
Yeah, it was about as easy-
[Blaster Bolt whizzes by reporter]
-GAH! What the hell?
[LEO 1] "Kid, we got company! Get out here with that glowstick, wouldja?"
Uh, yeah I'll be back...
For the Republic!

Mission 2 (Knight Breda Sunguard, Padawan Atris, Master Juhani, 1 Padawan)
So. Good news bad news time.
Good news: I beat the Sith here!
Bad news: A crimelord, a Zeltron called Lorelai, has set up shop on the remnants of the base. She's bad news, with the death mark in a dozen stems and enough goons to kill all of us.
A stealthier approach is required, I think. And I might just have the answer. See, she was attached once upon a time...

Mission 3 (Bao-Dur, Bastila, 3 Padawans)
-Padawan Zez-
We were better than the mercenaries.
We were less than better than the resurrected spirit of King Adas. In point of fact, he beat the shit out of us. Bastila and the others are currently stuck in the brig while Adas, possessing Master Bao-Dur's body, has set to work claiming this system; and, calling that Sith witch here.
Meanwhile, I'm stuck with a supply closet.
But...I think I can come up with something.
It is a mining supply closet, after all.

Mission 4 (Brianna and Ossin, Colonies)
-Padawan Ossin-
Will no one rid me of this turbulent princeling?
Canderous' chosen successor has proven obnoxious at best in dealing with me, constantly interrupting my meditations, asking to spar. He is...beautiful; but arrogant at the best of times, ever-wrathful always; a pleasant exterior belies a bellicose interior.
Further, Master Brianna implies...improper things.
I think he wants to strangle me, not romance me.
--
Mission 1 (Knight Kador Shirot, Padawan Sorda, The Core)
Teach me to run my mouth, I took a blaster bolt to the eye!
But we won.
As I right this, they are fitting me for the sensor patch.
Ah well, scars are dashing anyway, aren't they?
(-5% Czerka, +10 PP)

Mission 2 (Knight Breda Sunguard, Padawan Atris, Master Juhani, 1 Padawan)
We delivered to Lorelai her missing Beau, all wrapped up in bows and everything. I think they will be quite happy together; at least, once he is done with all the therapy after years serving as a Czerka slave.
We took great delight in burning this stockpile to the ground; but only after we stole back quite a few texts they had looted from various undefended Jedi temples and enclaves.
(+10 Knowledge, Damage Sith logistics, help pin down her location)

Mission 3 (Bao-Dur, Bastila, 3 Padawans)
My master knows all of my moves with a lightsaber.
So King Adas does, as well.
So I went with something unorthodox: I changed my saber. The power now channels through three ports, the main blade being longer and hotter.
It has been like relearning my velocities; but, it worked. It changed my style enough that, combined with the unfamiliarity of the Old Sith in using a Zabrak's body, he quite simply lost.
But he managed to ruin my favorite jacket before he did.
Jackass.
Bao-Dur is sleeping it off, while the Padawans are helping keep guard over the prisoners, who were less than thrilled to fight after they saw me toss around an ancient Sith with the Force. Criminals are a supersticious and cowardly lot, I suppose...
(+10 PP, -10% Czerka, Zez-Kyrido is now a Jedi Consular)

Mission 4 (Brianna and Ossin, Colonies)
-Padawan Ossin-
[Rustle of sheets, quiet voice]
I have been wrong before.
Well I wasn't wrong, I suppose; he did want to spar.
It just wasn't all he wanted.
We should have no problems securing the aid of the Mandalorians.
(+10 PP, bonus to Mandalorian relations)

Sorry I disappeared, things have been bad for the past month.
