Chapter 44: The Corellian Conference Episode II

[Hyperspace, En Route To Corellia]

Sitting in the cockpit of the T-6 shuttle Marcellus, Sifo-Dyas, and I were using for this mission I held a datapad in my hand.

Reviewing all the information and details for our upcoming mission on Corellia.

Which the three of us would arrive at in the next few hours.

After Marcellus came to my room in the temple and gave me the cliffnotes version of the mission we split apart, and then I quickly packed some gear. Meeting him and Sifo-Dyas after I did.

Now here we are.

Reaching the list of representatives that would be at attendance at this conference I almost dropped the datapad in my hands when I saw the names of two inviduals.

Walex and Lira Blissex.

The father and daughter pair who are likely the greatest starship designers and engineers of this era.

I may have designed the Milano but I have nothing on these two.

What makes Walex even more impressive in my eyes is that the man doesn't even know how to use a computer, yet corporations will stomp over each other to get the man to work for them.

That's real talent right there.

I can't wait to meet him in person.

The same for his daughter.

I also can't wait to meet the Green Jedi we are assigned to partner on this mission with.

For the line of thinking of that sect of Jedi is more in line with the new order I wish to create in the future.

The Green Jedi are actually allowed to have families and form attachments.

Which is one of the things I admire about them.

Which is why it irritates me to no end how the Republic and the main order regulate the Green Jedi's only operational area to Corellia and the Corellia Sector.

It's such a waste.

Continuing to review the mission details on the datapad I finished up in no time.

Once I did I leaned back in my seat and decided to get in a quick nap.

That way I could be refreshed and ready when we arrived on Corellia for the mission.

[Corellia System, Corellia, Coronet City]

Feeling a gentle shake of my left shoudler I opened my eyes.

Seeing it was Marcellus who was shaking me.

"We've arrived." He said.

"Understood." I replied.

I then stood up and stretched.

Once I did so I moved to exit the shuttle.

The moment I did I couldn't help but star marveling at the capital city of Corellia all around me.

It was breathtaking.

I had always heard it was.

But hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are two very different things.

Maybe after the mission is over ai can do a bit of sightseeing?

"Beautiful isn't it?" A female voice with a Corellian accent suddenly asked me.

Turning in its direction I saw two people.

The first was a man I recognized.

Nejaa Halcyon.

[Insert Image of Nejaa Halcyon Here]

A member of the famous Halcyon Jedi family and the grandfather of Corran Horn.

Another Jedi Master from Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order.

The second with Nejaa is a female.

She is 1.80 meters tall and looks to be about a year or two older than me. Her attire consists of Jedi robes. She has lustrous jet-black hair with purple highlights, secured in a single high ponytail and dark blue eyes. Then the lightsaber on her left tip tells me just like Nejaa she is also a Jedi.

"Yes, it is." I replied.

Just as I did Sifo-Dyas and Marcellus disembarked from the ship.

As soon as they did Sifo-Dyas stepped forward. "Greetings I am Sifo-Dyas and these two young men with me are my Padawab Marcellus Antilles and Jedi Knight Van Sunrider." He spoke.

"Hello to you all. I am Nejaa Halycon, and the young women with me is Jedi Knight Nova Halcyon." Nejaa spoke.

"Oh, so you two are related?" I asked.

"We're cousins." Nova explained.

"I see." I mused.

"Well now that introductions are out of the way please follow us." Nejaa spoke.

He then turned and started walking.

The rest of us following behind me.

But as we did I noticed Marcellus was staring pretty hard at Nova.

"Hey Marcellus, are you alright?" I asked him.

However he ignored me.

"Hey, anyone home? Marcellus." I spoke. Nudging him with my arm this time.

Which snapped him out of whatever daze he was in.

"What. Oh sorry." He said.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"Nothing. It was nothing." He said.

Trying and failing to not get a blush on his face.

When he did I looked at Marcellus and then looked where his gaze was poihted.

It was still lingering on Nova.

Upon seeing this and his other actions I finally understood what was happening to my friend.

He was awakening to the horny.

The Corellian Jedi Nova having finally sparked it with it him.

Realizing this I couldn't stop a knowing smirk from forming on my face.

"Hey Van. Stop smiling like that. It's not what you think okay. I just think that Nova girl is pretty and nothing more. Van. Seriously, stop smirking." Marcellus begged and pleaded.

But I ignored him.

Instead I began thinking of ways to help him and Nova get a bit of alone time together so he could work on getting closer to her.

For as his best friend it is my job to be his wingman.

A job I take seriously.
