The inside of the ship was pretty neat and nice, the colors were a mixture of beige and gray there were some plants which he assumed to be from his Master's homeworld.
There were 4 rooms and all of them were spacious and relaxing, there was also a cargo hold were somethings could be stored. For now, it only had ammo, for the guns and two fighters that he didn't recognize the model.
As Garrod explored the spaceship a new notification appeared on his system.
[Find and secure Darth Revan Holocron before it falls in the wrong hands! Time limit: 124:00:00]
After reading the content of the mission he couldn't help but frow, 'what the ***!? Where I'm supposed to find this? Don't tell me it's inside the ship and master didn't know!?'
Garrod started cursing this damn system that kept giving him weird missions, but he soon stopped when he saw his master coming towards him with an R2 unit behind her.
"He is the one I told you about R2-D3." She smiled while pointing at Garrod.
"Beepoobp! Beep beep?" if R2-D3 had a functional face it would be making an angry look right now.
When Garrod heard the little piece of scraps, he almost tried Mechu-deru on it! Heavens, such a dirty mouth! Back in his homeworld people would clean his mouth with soap!
"Yeah, love you too R2-D3." Garrod tried to smile but his lips twitched every time he did it.
"Pfft! Don't worry, before you know you two will become good friends. Now come with me to the cabin, I'll tell you about the mission.
Nodding, Garrod tried to forget R2-D3 toxic comments while following his master. But seriously, how dare that bastard compares him to shit on the street! With his looks, he was pretty sure he could woo any girl without much effort!
In the cabin, Shaak Ti touched the wall and it projected a holographic map of the galaxy, it was a simplified version with only a few dozen locations marked in it.
"Our mission is to investigate possible remnants of Jedi ruins on the planet of Yavin 4, one of our sources said that a few months ago someone crash-landed on the surface of the planet and the place they fell made them hallucinating with visions of people using lightsabers to fight."
"Our primary objective is to try and bring back any Holocron we find and clean any area that could be corrupted with Dark Side energy if possible."
"Do you have any questions?"
Garrod shook his head and said. "How much time till we actually get there master?"
"One day in order for us to rest and prepare," she replied while deactivating the holographic map.
"I shall go and rest then, see you later master."
She nodded and went off to do something.
While Garrod went to his quarters he started to think about his future and possible courses of action.
When he arrived he lay down on his bed and covered himself with a blanket, after he closed his eyes he proceeded to think of what he should do about the future.
His main concern right now is to stop depending on the system like Revan Said the System gives him a better connection with the force and knowledge of various abilities but does not increase his comprehension of it, even if it increases his power to the same level of Yoda and Palpatine they would still be stronger than him with any technic they knew.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
He also had to consider how he should accomplish his promise with Revan, right now he could only think of allowing order 66 of happening, while trying to save a few good candidates to serve as the new Jedi, such as Ahsoka Tano, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Plo Koon, and a few others that only appeared in rebels and other materials, even Luke Skywalker and his wife are good candidates to lead the new Jedi.
But in order to accomplish all of this he would also have to find a way to increase his longevity, although he already had a few clues on how to achieve immortality this would take more than a decade to be accomplished without side effects.
He also had to consider the threat that came from outside of the galaxy and a few ones that came from inside, like Galen Marek and Abeloth. If Anakin ends up becoming Vader he would have to save Galen from death like what happened in force unleashed 1. But Abeloth? He couldn't think of any way to truly face such a monster, he even doubted she was truly defeated in the legends, right now his best guess on how to face her is to actually use sith alchemy or something more destructive, but that would require immense power in a level that no one in the 9 movies managed to achieve.
Garrod wondered if Force Storm would be capable of destroying her.
Sighing he decided to sleep and think more about the matter another time, right now he didn't have the resources to plan so far ahead in the future.
...
A few hours later, Garrod was awakened by a pious vision, everything was blurred, but he could see the outline of a woman's naked body while concentrating a little more, he noticed a strong resemblance to someone he knew very well, the only woman that he actually had a crush on the entire Star Wars universe, it was Ahsoka in her mature version, smiling, he held out his hands and said a little groggy.
"Ahsoka ..." his face was blushing.
But then he heard a cough and someone hit him on the head.
This time, his vision was replaced by the scene of his master, who was looking at him with a smile on her face.
Realizing what happened, he stood up and bowed, his face red as a tomato and too ashamed to look directly at her.
"I know the girl, but she should be a little too young for you now, wait 10 years, at that moment it wouldn't be a problem." she laughed as she looked at him.
"Master, I-I swear I wasn't ..." this time he didn't know what to say.
"Hehehe, don't worry, the woman of my race has always had this effect on man of your race. Besides, it's not like things like that don't happen when someone is out of order. I approve of your tastes! Hahaha!"
This time, he wanted to dig a hole to hide his face for the rest of his life, how would Garrod know that Master Shaak Ti had a different opinion on this matter when compared to the rest of the order?
At least he was starting to think she was a lot more interesting than Canon and Legends made her look like. He was eager to learn more about his master.
"Come on, I prepared breakfast."
She then took him to what looked like a dining room. This time, he remembered his first impression of her, she really looked like a mother. Maybe she always treated her padawans like that, which could explain why she took them to her homeworld.
"Master, can you talk more about yourself?" Garrod asked expectantly.
She raised an eyebrow at his question. "Me? What do you want to know about me?"
"Well ... I don't know, tell me about your life."
"Hm ... I was born on the planet Shili, I spent part of my childhood there until I was noticed as a force-sensitive child, after that, I was sent to Coruscant, where I finally became Jedi Master Illumid Torgan's padawan, it is a pity that she died a year after my graduation as a Jedi Knight ... "she sighed.
"At some point during this period, I had a relationship with an interesting bounty hunter, he is a generous and kind man of the same race as you, but because of my work and his, we couldn't be together, however, we promised to meet again 15 years from now, at that moment, I will leave the order and live with him ". She had a wide smile on her face as she talked about him.
Garrod, however, couldn't help but sigh at her fate, he knew exactly how things would end for her. Such a tragic life, losing all her apprentices, master, and probably even the men she loved, and yet she never fell to the dark side. Her willpower is probably the strongest of all the characters in the 9 films ...
After hearing her words, Garrod decided that he would do everything in his power to protect his master in the future.
"Well, there are a few more things, but I don't feel comfortable talking about them."
When she said that, a sound echoed and she got up, a few seconds later, she was back carrying some snacks she made and coffee.
"I hope you like it, I forgot to ask what you prefer ..." Shaak Ti was a little embarrassed as she spoke.
Garrod tasted the snack and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, master, your cooking skills are at the grandmaster level!"
She laughed and said, "Glad we like it! We still have a few hours before we reach our destination, if you want some guidance on the force or one of the lightsaber forms that I excel at, just ask and I will try my best to teach you. "
Garrod nodded and said, "So can you help me deepen my understanding of the force?"
"Okay, find me in the meditation chamber in 30 minutes."
