Ailyn
I had come to see how Electra and Mike were doing with Tian, I wanted to trust them....but I wasn't sure. Both were incredibly cocky, and.....Electra.....was very naive.
The outside world would think I knew nothing either, but I knew they were just fools. I knew much much more than anyone knew.
I walked in, in my normal hunting clothes, and heard some splashing. I raised an eyebrow, and walked out to see Mike and Electra diving into the pool. And Tian was already inside!
"What the frack?!" I yelled, and then jumped very far to Tian's location, farther than Mike and Electra jumped
They may had the Force, but I had years of experience of jumping. Especially chasing after people on this planet....
I scooped Tian up in my arms, and then climbed out of the pool slowly "Stay here." I said in a firm tone, and looked to Mike and Electra

Mike
I gulped, and found myself gasping for air, spewing water out of my mouth. I then flung an arm over the edge of the pool, and glanced over my shoulder at my sister. Come on, I thought to her through the bond. She's got the twerp.
For an instant, I almost thought I had sensed Electra would rather stay in the pool than come out and face Ailyn. Finally she shrugged, and swam over to my side. Then we both climbed out of the pool together. For some reason, I felt oddly sheepish, but Electra seemed to have a scowl glued on her features.

Ailyn
"What do you two think you are doing?! You don't take a child and a dog for a swim, much less at the JEDI TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted angrily "Andy and I trusted you to handle this right, yet you blow it!"
I rubbed my temples, and said "Haven't both of you learned to not get cocky?"

Tian focused at a point somewhere beyond Ailyn's hip, and, a brilliant plan forming in her mind, she said, "Aunt Lelly made me do it," she said in a high-pitched whine. "She wouldn't tell me what di'kut meant! Really!"
Kairi climbed out of the pool and disappeared into the foliage. The strong smell of dog urine hit the air, and Tian cried out in protest. "Kairi! You ain't s'pposed to do that 'cept in the 'fresher!"

Mike
I stood there, my clothes dripping with water from the pool, just as the dog leaped out of the water. I wrinkled my nose as I sniffed the air. Great, I thought with sarcasm.
Electra was looking at Tian, her features carefully controlled, however I could sense the anger radiating off of her. Stay calm, sis, I thought to her through our bond. There was actually a point where you were just as bad--if not worse--than the little twerp, you know? I winked at her, and she glared at me.
"Ailyn," Electra said after a moment, when she'd finally managed to get her emotions more under control, "for a blind kid, Tian certainly knows how to get into mischief. I'll put it that way."

Tian giggled. "Daddy says so, too." To her, this was obviously a compliment. "Come on, Kairi! I'm gonna show you how to sit on the potty like a lady."
Kairi poked her head out of the dense thicket of plants, and walked over to Tian, chewing an itch on her skin. Tian rubbed her hand on Kairi's soft hair, and said, "Come on, girl. I'll call mommy and ask her to bring a toy for you. You're not allowed to chew your hair."

Calvin
Blast. Come on, we have to go back the way we came.... I thought and sprinted back, but began to hesitate because we couldn't go down the verticle shaft, or this whole thing would blow up right in our faces
Wait, go back to the inside of the tunnel. We can swing over the edge and hang on. I told Ben, and as I did what I just told him, I kept looking around for safety and making sure Ben was behind me
Once I saw he was, I swung over the edge and managed to hang on by just a few measley fingers. Then, suddenly, the footsteps halted.

Ben held his breath. He didn’t dare look over the edge of the Turbolift shaft, even though he was in a good hiding spot. The footsteps had stopped in front of the hatch Jaing had disappeared into, and from the look of things, he guess they weren’t going to leave for a while.
A woman said, “Set up here. Keep your eyes on the entire corridor. The Jedi have a nasty habit of cutting through walls where you don’t want them. Nine-two-Z, position yourself here.” The command was followed by heavy, clanging footsteps.
Ben dared to pull himself up just a fraction to see.
A detachment of armored CorSec guards were set up outside the hatch, accompanied by two YVH battle droids. The two YVH carried backpacks large enough to hold a full-grown man. One of them came to a stop beside the woman. She continued, “All right, troopers. At the first sign of intrusion, draw back to form a firing line and open up the enemy. Nine-two-Zm at the first sighting of a Jedi, approach. When you’ve gotten as close as you think you can get, trigger your load.”
The droid nodded. “Acknowledged.”
The woman continued, speaking to the others, “You hear that? When the droid goes in motion, run. Once its detonated, return and mop up.”
Ben lowered himself back down again.
He nodded to Calvin, and used to Force to press himself up against the wall of the verticle shaft, the friction of his cloak on the metal slowing his descent. He slid almost noiselessly back down the forty meters he’d so recently ascended. As he approached the last five meters, he let himself drop naturally, going into a tuck-and-roll as he hit, rolling away from the shaft. Now he’d had to get out of sight if any CorSec soldiers heard something and came to investigate.
He and Calvin were on their own now. They had to complete the mission by themselves. He’d just abandoned his teacher, his cousin. A sort of numbness tried to creep its way into his thoughts. He shook it off and ran back towards the hatch to the repulser train tunnel with Calvin by his side.

Thracken Sal-Solo
He laughed at the boy standing below him. "Is this somebody's idea of a joke?" he asked, hooting with glee. "Sending you? What, are they scraping the bottom of the bin now for spares? Hahahaha!"

Jaing tightened his hold on his lightsaber, pursing his lips as his mother had usually done when faced with that kind of remark. "We only send the best," he said. "Now would you mind getting out of the way so I can destroy this station. The least I could do would be to give you a warning. Need a head start, old man?"
Thracken Sal-Solo, Uncle Han's own cousin, looked at him with twisted features, and suddenly Jaing felt an undeniable hatred rise up inside of him for what the man had done--for what he was planning to do.
