SWTOR- The Serna Chronicles: Trouble finds Katt

Chapter 6

"Location: Yavin IV. Katt's flies YT-2400 below the safety zone to avoid radar detection. Her ship travels over beautiful blue waters of Yavin to reach its destination. Instead of landing the ship Katt gets inspired to fly directly to the island."

"KIBIT? I want you to plug in over here by the captain's chair. Now you'll be able to fly the ship as well."

"Mistress Katt? I should be by your side."

"No KIBIT. I'll need you on the ship to safely fly around while I'm on the ground. I could need air support or quick transportation at a moment's notice."

"I see. That is very good thinking Mistress Katt."

The ship arrives at the island; it hovers about 20 meters above ground level as Katt jumps through the lower hatch. Katt gracefully lands on the ground and hails KIBIT on her wristband, "I'm safely on the ground; you may close the lower hatch."

"Closing the hatch now, Mistress Katt. Please use your communication wristband if you need me."

"I will," Katt promised.

The ship flies away and Katt is left alone on the deserted island.

She walked along the beach and came to a spot in the shade where she knelt down to meditate. Katt cleared her mind and used the Force to refresh her body and to see if she could sense anything. She could see an older man with long white hair; he was clean shaven and wearing a light jedi robe. He looked very strong and built big like her dad. Katt found that odd because old men are usually overweight and balding. Suddenly the vision vanished. Katt started to see Master Paladyn. He had his lightsaber drawn and battling an unknown foe. It was the future, but a very puzzling vision.

"Why would he be here on Yavin?" Katt thought to herself.

The Jedi fighter ships moved closer to Yavin 4 to begin their approach. The destination island was located on the other side of the planet. Master Theon looked over to Master Alkic, "Did you contact Master Paladyn with an update?"

"Yes," said Alkic. "The Dark Lord should finally reveal himself today."

"Perhaps you should inform Master Serna of your suspicions."

"Damn," Alkic whispered. "Our thoughts have been revealed. She senses what we are discussing.

Over in the cockpit in Jakk's ship, Serna almost jumps out of her seat.

"Katt is in danger!  She's on the island!"

"How did she get there already?" asked Jakk.

"I would guess that she has that new droid hooked up to pilot her ship," said Serna.

"Is she really in danger?"
"I am sensing the presence of a higher Force; much too dangerous for Katt. At first I thought she would only be facing the Dark Apprentice, but now I fear the Dark Lord is on this planet too. Master Paladyn is the Dark Lord. Our daughter is in over her head and I'm very concerned for her safety. Mr Jakk, we need to get there quickly before it's too late."

Jakk wasn't listening to Serna. He had pulled out a little cheat sheet with charts and graphs. He worked out some calculations on a tablet. Then he began to enter coordinates into the navigational computer.

"Mr Jakk? Do you hear me?"

"Yes Serna. We need to get to that island now. Prepare for Hyperspace."

"What?!"

"Time to get crazy," Jakk said to himself.

It was too late; the dangerous act was set in place. Jakk's ship started the countdown and launched into hyperspace well within the planet's atmosphere.
