Kalin walks away to the landing platform. There he sees the ship which is provided by Darth Vader himself. The Thranta, a massive ship which design is inspired by the creature itself. Kalin steps on the ramp and looks inside the ship, there he finds 6 probe droids. The ship reminds him to the old ship used by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Maul, the Sith Infiltrator.

A speederbike is also stalled in the back to move on land. Kalin is disssapointed though, that it has no cloaking device like Maul's Sith Infiltrator. Cloaking Devices are expensive though...he knows that. This ship should serve well enough to get the job done. He steps forward to the cockpit and takes the control in his hands. The ships' engine start to run and soon it flies out of the dark skies of Korriban.

After some hours of travelling, the Thranta finally pierced through the thick clouds of Korriban. Once the ship finally lowered and landed securely, both left the ship behind, walking towards the Sith Academy.

Ayanna seemed nervous and was unusually silent for her.

They made their way to the gates of the Academy. There stood two guards who surprisingly welcomed Kalin.

"Welcome Back Kalin..... Didn't think I'd ever see you again..... You built yourself a well known reputation here...... You'll have to brief me on what happened when I'm off duty....."

Kalin replied, "Sure Oghar...."

Chris had walked up to the ship with Ayanna following. He waited for their teacher to arrive, his face passive and cold. He kept quiet and to himself as they waited for Kalin.

Kalin finally arrived at the hanger bays and saw both Chris and Ayanna waiting for him.

"Good, you're right on time..... So let's leave this place..... And we will continue with the mission..... Should not take long until we arrive....."

With these words, the three entered the ship and Kalin took place at the cockpit. Ayanna and Chris stayed in the Common Area of the ship.

Shortly after leaving her chamber, Ayanna arrived at the Thranta, looking around for either Kalin or Chris to appear.

"That was fast" Kalin spoke. He didn't seem bothered anymore about there desert adventure. It was only a temporary thing because his quest went into failure, but now he forgot all about it...who knows maybe the woman is dead, but he wasn't sure. That is why he searched for a new goal. A new destination...

"So do you know where Chris is? We'll be leaving soon..."

Kalin continued to prepare his ship, leaving the other instructors unknown about this investigation. Acolytes weren't alllowed to leave Korriban, they only could leave the planet for rare occasions, or missions.

Chris jumped in, suddenly and apparently out of nowhere behind Kalin. "Hello, hello!" he said loudly. "We ready, we ready?" Compared to the two, he was energetic, happy, and generally in a good mood altogether.

Ayanna looked at both of them, the crossing her arms.

"Well I guess we're all ready to go..... Where are you taking us now?"

"Okaaaay, you seem to be in an exceptional good mood...happy to leave this rock behind? I guess so"

Kalin made his last preperations on the ship, the ramp lowered.

"Ok, get in, You'll find rest in one of the quarter rooms. I will see you later once I've set our destination. We are going to the Outer Rim territories...It will be a long flight, so we'll have some training before we reach our destination."

All three stepped aboard. The ship took off and left the atmospere. Kalin waited to go into hyperspace and went back to one of the quarter room where chris and ayanna were talking

Ayanna sat in the commune area of the Thranta, with her feet up on one of the chairs and wondering what was waiting for them.

"Watch this.... He'll probably just take us to the other side of Korriban as a mean joke..." She laughed a little

"No we're going to the other side of the Outer Rim. It's pretty far from here...we're going to Boz Pity..."

Kalin left the quarters to enter hyperspace.

"If you have more questions, you can meet me in the cockpit..."

Chris sat there as well, and seemed to be anxious. He developed a slight twitch, and seemed eager to move around. "I should learn hopw to dance," he said, rather randomly.

Ayanna raised her eyebrows a little,

"What did I do....?" She said as she lay backwards and threw her cloak over her face to cover herself.

"Boz Pity huh? Should be..... Fun...."

The ship entered hyperspace, but they knew that this journey would be long. Kalin prepared the remotes to fight with in the centre of the ship where the Acolytes could fight each other, or the remotes.

After a fast run to the hangers, Ayanna quickly boarded the Thranta and ran into the cockpit where Kalin was already sitting. She sat on the chair next to him and then put her feet up on the dashboard in a relaxed manner.

"Well, my bed broke so I have to sleep somewhere don't I..... Besides, I don't want to be stuck with Chris as a shadow while you're gone....." She said in a dismissing and joking fashion.

"Sure...you can sleep in one of the quarters...but yeah where do you want me to take you?!"

Kalin pressed the ignition and the Thranta took off leaving the Sith planet behind once again.

"We'll soon enter hyperspace...I haven't set in the coördinates yet...depends on where you want to go....Here's a map, you can check it out if you want...."

Kalin pointed to the galaxy map wich was installed in one of the walls of the ship. It showed all known regions of the galaxy.

She glanced a little at the map, although to be sure, she didn't have an urge to go anywhere.

"Well where are you planning on going? I'm still researching the data we.... em... 'borrowed' from Theed Palace..... I'm still trying to find something of interest..... In connection with Anakin Skywalker..... I know it's unusual that I still want to pursue this issue...... But.... I've been raised with the hatred of him and...... I can't deny I am curious......"

She seemed a little nervous,

"What are your plans?"

"Well since Asajj Ventress came into picture, I thought I might research the connection Anakin Skywalker has with her....He battled her on Yavin IV....so I want to do some research there...plus there's another thing that draws me to Yavin IV...I know that this rebel Jin-Ho took a trip to there...It's based on speculation, cause the Empire doesn't know for sure it was her, but witnesses saw her at the Aldera landing platforms so it's worth checking out if she really went there"

He paused...

"So I guess it is decided?! Yavin IV it is!"

Kalin set the coördinates and the ship vanished into lightspeed heading for the fourth moon on Yavin.

After many hours, the Thranta finally arrived back on the barran planet of Korriban. Ayanna was not happy to be back, but she knew it was necessary. Something scared her, worries that Li would already be on Korriban, waiting for her. But she knew this would not be the case. He would wait until she was more experienced and would strike when she least expected it.

Kalin wasn't happy himself to return but at this moment he certainly didn't want to be on Coruscant. He wanted to be out of Vader's reach due to his failure concerning Li. But he knew he couldn't stay out of Vader's grasp forever. The ramp lowered and both headed back to the Academy where they hoped no surprises would pop up. They were pretty sick of it. A long break would be nice. But as Dark Jedi, that was unlikely to happen.

Ayanna followed Kalin back to the Thranta.

"Well boss, I guess this is it....." Ayanna said, standing, waiting to say goodbye to Kalin.

"That's right..." Kalin gave a sad look, no time for mushiness, he simply left up the ramp of the Thranta, unsure what lay ahead of him.

Ayanna waited for a few moments, seeing that he had gone deeper into the ship. She quickly glanced around her, to make sure no one was in sight, and with that, she carefully made her way up the ramp. Her timing was close to perfect as the ramp came up begin her. She knew now she had to keep absolutely silent, and crept into her room, allowing the door to shut behind her. For now, she would have to hide under her bed until they were too far from this place for her to be taken back. She knew without a doubt that she would be punished for this, maybe worse. But there was no way that she was going to let Kalin do her dirty work for her.

Kalin looked at the galaxy map, having no idea where to start. His first guess was Nar Shaddaa where the lowest scum hide. As the greatest criminal world, it was a pretty easy choice to make. But it still stayed a big gamble. Kalin set the coordinates for Nar Shaddaa and soon after, he activated the hyperdrive.

After the long journey back to the planet, the Thranta once again arrived on the red planet of Korriban. Ayanna felt her stomach turn as she watched the planet some into view. Once the ship was safely landed, the duo began to walk down the ramp together. Ayanna breathed a little shallow as she tried to calm herself.

They walked through the port with a lot of angry eyes upon them. Whether it was because of jealousy, which Kalin had to confront others with or other reasons, was not known. Before heading for the Academy, they walked into the cantina, trying to find their courage to get back and face the Masters of the Academy.

Ayanna did not seem at all confident at the frowned faces around them, and also the fact that even Kalin seemed to need courage concerning them going to the Academy.

"Okay, realistically...... What could happen to me...." She said with a serious tone as she began to take a drink.

"I don't know.... Tortured as punishment..... Worse case scenario.... You'd be killed....." He said sarcastically.

She looked to him for a moment, but did not laugh at what he said. She lowered her head and looked to her glass before she drank from it.

"Hey, don't get too scared now.... Nothing will happen to you, I promise.... I think I have a good idea how to talk us out of this...." He smiled to boost her confidence.

"What? Say it was just a joke and I was actually hiding in the Academy the whole time training?" She said as she gulped more.

"No no no, no such thing..... You'll see what happens.... It's a surprise!" He smiled sarcastically and took a gulp himself.

Ayanna raced her way to the Thranta as she sat herself down at the pilot seat for once, now being more cocky than she usually was, she felt like she had more freedom concerning Kalin. And it seemed that all that time of watching Kalin pilot the ship made her a good learner as she began to set in the coordinates.

"We're going to Alderaan." She grinned cheekily and confidently, "We haven't been there since I first became your apprentice. It's beautiful but I never got the chance to see much of it. I don't know, I just get the feeling we should see it now while we have the time. I know we have all the time in the universe like I said, but I just think we should take the opportunity now that it has found us." She smiled, "There we can train, check out the local activity, perhaps even make a visit to the royals on behalf of Vader. They were up to some rather strange dealings once upon a time weren't they? We can mix pleasure with business."

Kalin sat down in the co-pilot seat. He thought going to Alderaan wasn't a bad idea. It was a beautiful planet to explore and an excellent location for them to train. Then he thought back that he had some training to do himself with the Holocron.

"Okay, if you've set the coordinates, let's go then."

Ayanna nodded and took the ship out of the atmosphere, preparing her jump into hyperspace. Not long after the ship disappeared in the light of space heading for the planet of Alderaan.
