The Dark Academy on Korriban

Jun-Tsu rapped lightly on Remmington's door. Dressed in her usual garb with a stack of books topped with a datapad held in her arms. She had spent most of the day in the library fulfilling her duties to Lord Savas, but with the hour growing late, she was finally relieved and allowed to go back to the dormitories. A part of her wanted little more than to go to her room to meditate, but a greater part of her wanted to continue to appraise what the two of them had found in the Valley of the Dark Lords.

It had been a slow process, but a rewarding one.

Remmington opens the door and greets Jun-Tsu with a smile. "Hey Jun-Tsu. Thanks for coming. Please make yourself at home."

He makes way for Jun-Tsu to come in and closes the door behind him. His room is clean and looks pretty standard. Though he has some machin/sabere parts set up in the in the corner of the room atop some tarp to prevent the room from getting dirty.

The witch set her books down on the provided desk splaying them out. They were all ancient historical texts, most written a thousand years ago on the history of the Sith on Korriban. "Today, vhile I vorked in zhe library I found zhese. Zhey are zhe best I could find zhat had anyzhing about Nudas Min or any reference to pyramid tombs; zheir layout, zheir purpose, zheir lore."

Remmington nods and starts to skim through the books. "Thanks for your hard work Jun-Tsu. I didn't think there would be much. The digital database hardly had anything about him either."

He looks over her to make sure she is alright. "Good job on cleaning up the library. Did you have any help after I left?"

"After you helped with the cataloguing program it was really a simple procedure. Baesal Zyn was kind enough to give some of her expertise throughout the process. But mostly it was just a long, tedious process. Though it did let me come across some of the books of sorcery that helped me to make this, since I'm so far from home."

She drew the black metallic hilt from beneath her robes, jagged protrusions sprouting around the base and the head.

Remmington nods. "I am glad that I was of some help. Nice of Baesal to help out as well. I guess the other students will be searching through the library for more stuff. It seems like they have been busy."

When she takes the hilt from her robe, he has a look over it. "May I?" He asks to examine it.

/ Is that her saber or the Void Engine? /

She offered her saber hilt to him, "I fashioned it this morning through a combination of rituals. Part those I remembered from the Farro, blended with some old Sith majik I found in the library. I can already tell zhat zhere vas alkhemy at vork. It transmuted zhe metal of zhe hilt at zhe end."

Remmington nods and hands her back her saber. He likewise takes out his hilt and hands it over to her. "I made that one myself. I call it Gram. It is not complete yet. I want to make it the best that it can be. I hope that one of the stuff we found will be helpful in that regard."

"It wery vell may be, zhough do not raise your hopes too much. Zhe time of Nudas Min vas ztill vhen zhey used zhe dueling blades, und if legendz are to be beliewed, practiced an art to make ze blades zhe equval of zhoze of zhe bygone Je'daii order."

She took back the hilt and it disappeared into her robes before she produced a small, apple-sided orb that could fit in the palm of one's hand. It was black as pitch and even in the light it's smooth glossy surface did not reflect light, as though it drank it all in.

"But zhis wery vell might. I have unlocked much of itz current nature. It iz as remarkable az I zaid but beyond zhat ewen now. I have communed deeply vith zhe Void Engine, und met zhe consciousness vithin. It iz like a holocron, of zorts, but beyond it in ewery dimension. It grows, it learns, und yet it ztays zhe zame."

"It reaches forvard und backvard zhroughout time to obserwe all zhat vas, all zhat is, und all zhat vill be. It iz a font of knowledge zhrough itz connection to zhe Dark Side."

Remmington ponders Jun-Tsu's words in thought. "Is it possible for us both to commune with the Void Engine at the same time?"

"Of course. I zuppose you vish to peer into itz infinite depthz," she smirked viciously. "It iz a most enlightening experience. It fillz v'one vith understanding of zhe past und future und zee your vay. Zhousands of paths to valk."

She sat on his bed with enough room for him to easily join her. She cupped the orb in both hands and held it out so that the two of them could gaze into it. "You must open yourzelf und fall into zhe zpace far vithin."

Remmington smiles. "Sounds like it will be an adventure. Alright, let's do this then."

He sits on his bed beside her and places his hands on the orb as well, or at least over her hands. He is not sure if it requires physical contact or not.

"Alright, ready when you are Jun-Tsu." He says before he closes off his senses and opens himself to the Force within the Void Engine.

OOC:Basically just going to use Dapper's rules for when he made me commune deeply with the Void Engine. Discipline or Cool at Hard difficulty for Rem to meditate.

Remmington manages to connect with the Void Engine and dive his consciousness into the artifact.

Not sure if I would get any bonus with Jun-Tsu helping or not.

The room spills away as Remmington falls into the small orb. He can feel his mind peeling from reality, his body falling down into the relic. From a great distance he spies galaxies and star systems. He falls through them past every conceivable form of celestial body as he passes through all that is until it all recedes into an inky blackness that coveres the stars with their distance. He resided in infinite space and there, with him, at his side, was Jun-Tsu and before them a creature he might not truly know.

OOC: Knowledge: Education or Xenobiology at Hard difficulty to identify the creature's species and significance.

Remmington is a little surprised to see another being within the Void Engine. He searches through his knowledge base on what the creature may be. "Hello there. I was not expecting someone else here." He says with a polite smile as he looks around at the wonder of the infinite space within.

The entity responds, “You are Remmington, why have you brought another here?”

"It vas vith him zhat I vas guided by zhe Force to zhe tomb vhere you rested. He is close to me and I would not deny him zuch a zimple reqvest. He has accessed your core zhrough zhe zame trials as I. Und it iz up to him to discover vhat you are, zhe zame as me."

She looked to Rem, "Perhapz he has interest in becoming a servant of zhe Infinite Empire as vell."

"The Infinite Empire is certainly impressive. It's legacy still survives to this day and much of it's marvels and wonders have been lost to us." Remmington comments with a nod.

"It sounds interesting. I certainly wish to hear more if you care to share."

“The Infinite Empire is infinite it can never end,” the device responds. “What is your purpose Remmington?”

Jun-Tsu hears Darth Traya, “You share your secrets too easily.”

Beliewe me zhis iz no risk.

Rem had over years proven loyal to House Farro, especially since the death of his father.

"I vanted to show you zhis," she said, as she drew out a hand and ghostly images filtered from the void. "Inside the woid, the past und future can be rewealed. And vhat you zaid a few veeks ago...." she stopped and gained a pensive air.

"I know you cleave to House Farro, but House Balmung could return. Images of Rem's children, some given by Jun-Tsu, stood stoically in a tableau of Sith strength before Rem on a throne with the old crest. "Zhere are pathz to valk, Rem. Not just zhe v'one you zee."

There are many images of his past and future, many contradictory and each all too real. The Void Engine responds, “Time as you experience is mutable to me. I can see all possibilities, I experience all possibilities. I observe and gather the data.”

"Ve valk vhatewer path ve choose. Und zhere are paths back to powver. I vould rather zee zhe rise of venerable House Balmung zhan v'one of zhese young bloodlines."

To the Void Engine's question Remmington responds. "For the moment I wish to make my lightsaber the best that it can possibly be. After that I shall see."

He listens to Jun-Tsu's and the Void Engine's comments. "I suppose resurrecting House Balmung is an option. Though at this point I think if I am to make something of myself. Rather than bring back an old House, I wish to start something on my own and create my own legacy."

"Zhen perhaps ve can beget House Remmington. I know you've nothing but a childs dewotion to me, but zhere iz another zhat I have zeen vhich might help you forge your own path."
