Rorn stood just inside Saraan's room in the Jedi Temple . He needed to find something that would explain why she was missing . Rorn walked over to a small stand on which sat a small pile of crystal shards . Rorn recognized them as the remains of Dart Heaths's memory crystal , the one that a new student or ward had broken . Some attempt at repair had been tried, he could see, but the crystal was shattered beyond recognition of its former beauty . Rorn straightened up and looked for anything else , suddenly he stiffened and a shiver ran up his spine . On a rack hanging from the wall, were two lightsabers . Saraan's own and the lightsaber of Dart Heaths . Saraan would'nt go anywhere without taking these two weapons, Rorn knew cause she had told him on more than one occasion that she wouldn't ever leave Master Heaths lightsaber if she went somewhere . The only reason she would leave one was if it was in need of repair .Rorn grabbed the two lightsabers and activated them . Seeing the working blades, Rorn ran to tell Don and Luke of his discovery .

Jhon strapped his weapons and armor on, starting with his spider-silk vest and lowering a breastplate on over it . The spider-silk could stop many blasterbolts, but couldn't protect against a vibroblade the way this armor did . Next he strapped a gunbelt around his waist , tying each holster down to his leg the way that was needed for a fast draw .Then on his right wrist, a mini proton torpedo launcher, a new invention that he had commandeered from the ship of STcomm . The weapon was capable of firing four times before reloading was neccassary and had a targeting module that could be worn on the right eye ( Like a contact lense ) . Then in his right holster he placed a large automatic blaster pistol , the most powerful they made . In his left holster was placed a blaster rifle , the bore of which was several times larger than what was legal . Jhon slipped several power-packs into his ammunition belt and buckled it over his gunbelt . A long hunter's blade of the type used by Wookie warriors was strapped to the back of his armor and a dagger buckled to his belt . Both of the blaster pistols formerly belonging to STcomm was also now part of Jhon's arsenal and one was put into a shoulder holster and the other into a boot as a hideaway gun . Jhon put the mini proton weapon's targeting module into his right eye and blinked several times, trying to accustom to it . " Ready," he said dryly into a comm ." Good. Please proceed ."A voice said back . Jhon acknowledged and stepped into his large gunboat . Seconds later he was blasting through Yavin 4's atmoshphere and into space .
******************************************************************
Luke turned away from his comlink and bit his lip un-certainly . Maybe Saraan, Kyp and Jarlath had a good reason for dis-appearing, maybe sending Jhon after them was a bad idea . He motioned for Rorn and Don to come forward ." Thats it for now, I guess . I never knew that running the Jedi Order could be this hard." he confessed . Rorn looked at Don and said ," We'll be in our quarters ."
****************************************************************
Moments later , Don flopped down on Rorn's bed, saying . " I wish Saraan would have at least invited us along with whatever she's doing ." Rorn looked up from opening a large chest and asked ." You don't think she's in trouble ? " Don shook his head as Rorn opened the chest revealing a vast array of gleaming weapons . " Wow, where did you get all of these ? " Don burst out , staring at the shining insturments of death ." Most of them are from my time with the Iridonian Honor Guards . Others, I collected in search of many different types . Like this one." he said pulling out a short metal rod . Don looked puzzled and asked," What is it ?" In answer Rorn pressed a tiny metal stud and twisted his wrist . The rod telescoped out and at maximum length, two short blades popped out, one on each end . Don stared at the long spear , and speechless reached out and took it, marveling at the craftsmanship ." And my favorites ." Rorn said, pulling out a matched pair of long curved swords .( These swords are exactly like Arwen's from Fellowship of the Ring .) Rorn stood and whilred suddenly, striking out at a bowl of fruit , seeming to hit it right in the middle but leaving it un-changed . Rorn picked up the bowl and lifted the top of it off, sliced cleanly by the sword and all of the fruit within likewise ." As I said , my favorites ." Rorn polished his blades in silence for several minutes and then spoke up ." I can't just sit around here and do nothing .You want to try and see if any of your old contacts know anything ? " Don thought for a second and nodded, saying ." It means we'd have to go to Nar Shaddaa, you know . " Rorn cringed mockingly ." I think I can handle it if you can . " Don grinned at the not-so subtle challenge and answered ." You can't go dressed as a Jedi .Smugglers tend to clam up when talking to officials of any sort . " Rorn looked down at his black robes and grimaced ." They just don't recognize true style ." he complained . Don grinned and told him what type of clothes to wear .
" Meet me in the hangar at sunset ." he said , a gleam of excitment in his eyes .
******************************************************************
Don finised loading Rorn's blade-craft into his own ship and then stood back and stared at Rorn who had just walked in . " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . Is that the best you could come up with ." he laughed . Rorn looked down at himself and said ." I don't see whats wrong . " Don gazed at Rorn's black leather pants and vest over a red shirt and spacers boots . A holstered blaster and long knife completed the ensemble . " Wheres your lightsaber ?" Don asked, still fighting back a smile . Rorn reached up over a shoulder and pulled his new dual-blade lightsaber out of a stealth holster . " You look like Lando Calrissian . All you need is a cape ." Don said . Rorn flicked out a silky black and red cape with a flourish . " I thought so and I admire his style ." Rorn said with a bigger grin than Don's .Don waved him into the Asteroid Skipper . " I invited Wik Dalleeso to come along . We might need his help . " Rorn waved through the viewscreen at Wik's large fighter and said to Don ." Your're right . Good thinking ."
Dued, this is like totally cool.
