TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCRYPTION BEGINS HOLO BEGINS (Raven sits in a sunny bedroom wearing a loose white shirt, vest, pants and brown boots) "Darana, Zoron is VERY nice this time of year. I've moved my Jedi to Mathem-Steele Manor and acquired another one. McGnoll or some such. I have not met him yet. I would like for Katherine to visit for a few days please, if it will not interfere with her training." "How is Jerrid? Must go, the supper bell is ringing...." Raven stands and the image fades. HOLO ENDS ENCRYPTION ENDS TRANSMISSION ENDS TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCYPTION BEGINS HOLO BEGINS (Darana, Human body, sits on the floor of a room in obvious construction, Blue, Black, and Silver yards of silk hanging and scattered about her.) I am glad you find Zoron pleasing. I recall from my time there that it is indeed nice weather. It sounds as if you have quite a few Jedi on your hands now. Jerrid is doing well. He has been working with Shade recently and I will send Katherine out tomorrow to meet you if that fits with your schedule. Oh Deveron has returned. I have given him part of the tenth level...we're redecorating. HOLO ENDS ENCRYPTION ENDS TRANSMISSION ENDS TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCYPTION BEGINS HOLO BEGINS (later that evening) The holo platform remains empty but Raven's voice emerges. "Shade, interesting. Shade is so physical and Jerrid is not. I hadn't thought of that. Jedi are really...(deep sigh) really annoying. I do not think I am ever going to find peace again in this lifetime. I wish to leave Jerrid with you on a permanent basis, with your permission.... Psylocke and father are on their way to you however...." Raven steps into view wearing an old shirt that reaches mid thigh, barefoot. She sits down crosslegged with a hairbrush and starts on her haiir. "Psylocke is arrogant, contentious, and does not apply herself. Does not give respect whatsoever. You know I am not able to bring that out in students yet, but she..." Raven winces at a knot and combs more carefully. "I miss you Darana. And the children and the servitors. I am glad your husband has returned. I hope that you are happy again, and that your stress has decreased." "Be well." HOLO ENDS ENCRYPTION ENDS TRANSMISSION ENDS TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCYPTION BEGINS HOLO BEGINS Darana appears, still emmeshed in Silk. "Yes I thought thought that Shade would be good for him. I have also paired him up with Shan. I forsee no problem with him remaining here. He has been here before long term." Darana laughs, "Why are these Jedi annoying to you? I wish I could join you even briefly. How is Klaw? I am most curious to see his development through this. Also if I could obtain any of your files on Psylocke. They should be arriving tommorrow I believe." "I have no experience with Psylocke really. I will find it interesting to see how she reacts to life here. Stress is a normal part of life, but the house is certainly becoming closer in many ways. Deveron's return has been quite good for Michael. He is getting to know Janin. Talia is even beginning to settle down. It seems that she is Deveron's daughter by Kyra. I am not sure what will happen between Deveron and I....we are legally divorced in the Empire, but....well we shall see.." Darana holds up her hand, "Di Catenas, Serris will speak to him. My poor Kanar is taking it quite well. He is very supportive." She reaches for a glass and drinks, "How long for THE project Raven? Will you be returning shortly?" HOLO ENDS ENCRYPTION ENDS TRANSMISSION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCRYPTION BEGINS Raven finishes braiding her hair as the holo begins, and leans forward unhappily on her elbows, crosslegged. "I wish you could too... If you pass near Zoron, please do stop if only for an hour..." The entreaty on her face is clear. "As for the Jedi, I took Cassandra's advice and brought them out of the Sims. Klaw romped with them through the gardens and jungles of... wherever Cassadra's hunting lodge is. For the most part Klaw has been watching. The Jedi are not impressing anyone, but I have not monitored his thoughts to know how he feels... He was once a jedi was he not?" "I will of course send you Psylocke's holos though there is little to see. I taught her mind link and such things." The worried look returns. "The project has met with some success, and some delays. My ambassador took the papers with her when she departed, and an emissary has been selected to arrive but no schedule made out. There is some sort of problem, I am not certain what but I hope it is not what I think." "These Jedi... I was so certain of myself Darana. But they make me wonder if I should continue at all. Some days in the middle of conversation I feel like slipping away into the void to be with him, I miss him SO much..." Tears start to appear and glisten on her lashes. "I dont, of course, but there is a hole there and I cannot... cannot fill it with darkness. Or with Purges or... I will let you know when I am to return. Sleep well." ENCRYPTION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCRYPTION BEGINS "Oh Bredha I know you miss him, it is never easy, you remember how I was...I will meet with you as soon as I am able. I wish circumstances were better....Perhaps if you could take some time to return here....you could talk to Deveron....It is just a thought." Darana ENCRYPTION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCRYPTION BEGINS Raven appears, huddled on the floor, her face dried now but eyes puffy. Barefoot in the old shirt. "I would like that. I want to go HOME... I am sorry, I'm a mess." ENCRYPTION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION BEGINS ENCRYPTION BEGINS "You are allowed to be a mess. It's our strength in many ways..Your quarters here are ready when you are." ENCRYPTION ENDS HOLO TRANSMISSION ENDS
