Leaving Tatooine

Qui-Gon Jinn had watched the last few moments of the fight between Wolfe and the Zabrack man, he could see them talking but it seemed Wolfe had made a bubble of some sort with the force and so he could only speculate on their conversation. When Wolfe had helped the man up and used what seemed to be a more effective form of force healing to heal the mans broken ribs and to scar over the man's stub of a right hand. Walking over to the two men, Jinn addressed the elephant in the desert, "So what do you plan to do with the Darksider?" Maul gave a threatening glance to the man, it seemed he didn't know that Maul was a Sith, interesting. Maul was also curious about what his new master had planned.

"Well my Jedi friend, first let's get this ship ready, then I'll tell you," Wolfe said cryptically as he walked into the open entrance of the Scimitar and after arriving at the cockpit, kneeled down and started working.

He was using Mechu-Deru to outline the ship's structure and machinery in his mind and to imprint his force signature onto it. All whilst also using a variant of Electronic Manipulation to interface and assert his control over the ship's technology directly rather than just through his will.

He had completely cut the ship off from external remote control and wiped its transponder. If scanned by a Bureau of Ships and Services vessel, the Scimitar would be considered unregistered or even nonexistent due to the stealth technologies used within it.

Qui Gon Jinn and the former 'Darth' Maul were standing behind him. Jin and Maul were amazed at the prowess over the force that Wolfe displayed, but another thing that they took note of, while he was using controversial powers, he wasn't using his emotions as fuel. Powers like Mechu-Deru were considered a gateway to the Darkside by the Jedi, and Maul, as a former Sith, was shocked he didn't use his emotions at all, Wolfe's force signature was completely still, and almost gray. Not light and not Dark. Wolfe, Instead of bending the force to his will, it seemed the force was working alongside him.

Standing back up as if he hadn't just done anything amazing, Wolfe looked to Maul and Jinn before elaborating, "Master Jinn, as of now Maul is my apprentice, I believe he is capable of redemption and his untapped potential is worthy of being brought out. Once we get back to the Gravestone, I will have some construction droids and the maintenance crane to lift the Nubian inside the Gravestone, and you will borrow this ship until you manage to get a replacement Hyperdrive"

Jinn frowned slightly, he assumed that the Gray Jedi was going to hand over Maul to the Jedi Council, he would have to report this to the Council. Jinn did respect the man however and decided to at least inform him. "Mister Wolfe, surely you know I would have to inform the council of you taking a Darksider as an apprentice, they may even try to imprison you both.

Wolfe just chuckled while Maul stifled a growl, waiting to see what his master would say. "Well Master Jedi, I don't give a kriff really. In the future, your order will want my help and maybe even want to join me. I respect you Jinn, but you must surely know that the Jedi Order is corrupt and a mere pawn of the Senate, I'll leave you with this, myself and my order don't want to harm the Jedi and don't believe what they do, if you or anyone you know decide to leave the order, come find us, you'll hear more of us soon."

Jinn was stunned, to say the least, not only was this man a member of an unknown order, but possibly the leader, but he also understood where he was coming from, the Jedi council usually endlessly debated and never truly agreed, and he also didn't like how they were technically the senates enforcers. But he also wanted to reform it, not abandon it. So he just gave a nod of acknowledgment, he would have to meditate on many things once returning to the temple.

After a short ride back to the Gravestone and Royal Naboo cruiser, Wolfe and the two other force users were greeted by an interesting sight. It seemed that Anakin had managed to convince Naomi to let him and his mother go talk to the members of the Naboo entourage, and through unknown circumstances, there was a free for all going on with water guns, he even saw Obi-Wan use the force to make Anakin shoot himself. Everyone on the ground finally noticed the Scimitar once it had landed and the ground shook and they went on alert, except Kenobi, who noticed his master's signature. When the ramp lowered from the Scimitar, the three occupants were assaulted by extremely loud electronic music originating from the Gravestones hanger.

Wolfe removed his helmet as he walked towards Naomi who had a smile that seemed to put a big "I got caught!" sign on her face. "So...What did we miss?" Naomi proceeded to tell how she felt that everyone could use a break from the heat and boredom and used the Gravestones 3D printer to make some water guns and used the water supply from the ship and played some music to let everyone play and relax. Wolfe just agreed and told everyone to continue and then filled the 'Queen' in on the current plan, he also noticed that Obi-Wan and Jinn were missing, probably discussing his new apprentice. A few hours later and a makeshift duraplast 'road' was made connecting the Nubian and Gravestone, the maintenance crane was used as an improvised wench to pull the Nubian over to the Gravestone and then lift it into the hanger.

Now, the Nubian's former crew and passengers were on board the Scimitar and Wolfe's posse on the Gravestone, heading through hyperspace to Coruscant. Wolfe had made sure to tell Panaka to use the cloaking device as the ship was unregistered and to land at the Jedi temple, not the Senate building. While they didn't really understand it, he asked them to trust him on this once more, and even offered to give a show of force with his Frigate to scare off the trade federation, after they told him what he already knew. The 'Queen' had told him he would have to think on it.

Inside the bridge of the Gravestone Wolfe, Maul, Shmi, and Anakin were all sitting a table with some food and drinks while Wolfe answered questions and introduced Anakin and Maul. Anakin seemed to be intimidated by Maul, and Wolfe couldn't blame him, he was a gnarly dude.

"Maul, Anakin, Shmi, I have some ideas that I think would be of interest to you all." Seeing he had their attention, he stood from the table and began speaking, "There is a man known as Darth Plagueis, he is said to be able to create life, false of course, but he can revive and even alter the DNA and bodies of people by using Midichlorians, the microscopic organism that allows sentients to use the Force. I can also do these things, but better. Seeing as he had the rapt attention of the three and he could feel Maul was becoming heated at the mention of the man, and by association Sidious. "Now, the reason I brought this up, is that I plan to heal Maul's arm and alter his appearance slightly so he can hide from his previous master until ready to act. I will also be giving Shmi a little makeover while giving her a high enough Midichlorian count to use the Force."

To say the three were more than a little surprised was an understatement, however, they both agreed. Maul would take any advantage to kill Sidious, and also requested an increase of Midicholrian count, offering eternal servitude as compensation. While Shmi wanted to be able to relate to and understand her son better and also wouldn't turn down a chance to regain her youthful appearance. So while they had around 6 hours of Hyperspace travel remaining he began the procedure

While sitting in front of each other, Wolfe put his hands on the sides of Maul's head and began funneling the force into his body, Maul could feel his whole body tingling, Anakin and Shmi watched as his hand began growing at a fast rate, bone first then muscle tendons nerves and skin. His red skin was changing from his red to a more natural brown while his black tattoos were changed into some copies of Norse runes, courtesy of Alpha. 30 minutes later, and Maul looked completely different. He just gave a bow and a thank you and went to the side to sit and study Shmi's procedure.

Shmi was nervous it felt like her mind was expanding, she could hear voices speaking a barely audible whisper at first, then she heard words, she heard but couldn't understand them, then she heard three she did, "Mom, where's daddy?'

Shmi suddenly found herself in an ornate room, ornate looking wooden furniture, chairs with silk covers, oil paintings, a bear rug, and a fireplace. She felt a weight in her arms and looked down seeing a small baby, she was confused but held it tighter as not to accidentally drop it. She heard a door opening and looked behind her seeing a young boy of around 5 with blond hair and blue eyes entered the room, he jogged up to her and smiled at the baby before saying "Mom, where's daddy?"

Shmi had seemingly fallen into either a vision or a force trance after her Midichlorian reached the proverbial threshold, Wolfe didn't know when she would wake up so he carried her with the force to the captains quarters. Her appearance had greatly improved in his appearance, the damage caused by UV radiation and age had been reversed, looking to be around 25 now, her brown hair like silk and her light skin looked like it glowed. Wolfe had a few unpure thoughts as he entered the captain's quarters and put her on the refurbished bed and left a protocol droid there to lead her out when she woke up.

-2 hours later-

Wolfe was sitting in the lounge area while Anakin and the recently Awoken Shmi were doing some force exercises lead by Maul who was occasionally failing at the simple telekinetic meditation due to his increase in force strength and subsequent loss of finesse. Meanwhile, Wolfe, was having a conversation with Alpha, "So I noticed that while fighting Maul, even though he was a difficult fight, I was also not tired at all due to the power armor, so I'm going to have you to create me a new suit of armor, not power armor though, I have a few ideas."

"Okayyy, hit me while I fill in the blanks," Alpha responded.

"Alright, so it's going to look like the Jedi Stormguard armor from the Old Republic era, but with a Mandalorian style beskar helmet. the cloak that comes with it needs to be brown while the armor's gonna be black with red accents, Golden Aquilla on the left pauldron, and a white wolf head on the right. I need a body glove to work with it so I can wear it in the vacuum of space and an oxygen supply hooked up to the helmet and a reflector shield." Wolfe listed out his ideas.

"Alrighty, that sounds way better than mine, I mean mine is better but not really fitting with the lore, maybe I went a bit overboard." Wolfe just chuckled as his armor suddenly shifted to his new set, helmet next to him on the loveseat.

-Over Coruscant-

While it was clear that the customs patrols were slightly alarmed at the strange ship, with the correct credentials, courtesy of Alpha, they allowed the Gravestone to dock at an orbital platform. After paying the fee out of Maul's credit supply, Jinn called them and informed that they had been granted permission to land at the temple. So, Wolfe, Anakin, Maul, and Shmi headed to the hanger of the Gravestone and entered the Lambda-class shuttle that Alpha had the on-ship fabricator construct while still on Tatooine, and headed down to the Jedi Temple.
