Star Wars: The Expansion

Part 3 – Nexus Under Fire

Morgan was a curious little girl. She had been left alone for a time. She ate all the cookies, drank her tea and took a small nap. She woke up after a while and, for some inexplicable reason, she felt compelled to wander around and leave the apartment

Keely returned to the apartment after she dropped Rango off at the Engineering level. She was hoping to get to the little T’wilek a little more. However, the little girl had disappeared from the apartment. So she sat down and meditated. She was hoping that the Voice was not too preoccupied with Raavik Yaan to lend her a hand.

She had a small vision through the eyes of the small girl. She got bored and started to wander the labyrinth of corridors that ran throughout the library. Twisting and turning, sometimes going in circles, sometimes going up ramps and down stairs. All around an outstandingly confusing journey. 

Keely came out of the vision and started to retrace Morgan’s steps. She was as confused as her vision and felt that she may have had a misstep or two. Gotten turned around once or twice but she found her way again.

When she finally did catch up to Morgan, the poor girl was somewhat delirious and sputtering incoherently. Keely cradled her to comfort. The child pointed to a once forgotten door. The metallic door was encrusted with rust. A strange sensation passed through her mind when she looked away from the door, She had completely forgotten it. She looked toward Morgan again, she was still pointing at the door as if she was afraid to lose sight of it.

Keely looked back to the door, set Morgan aside and approached the door. The door would not open upon approach. 

Locked.

“There has to be a way in.” Keely said aloud to herself. She saw the seam, and with a twitch of her wrist, her lightsaber vambrace switched on, and she cut open the door. With some struggle of using the Force, she opened the door. Using the Force was a struggle, as whatever the Nexus was hiding made using its Force impossible.

Inside of the door was a singular room that was coated in dust. Twelve obsidian pillars with bizzare writing upon them lead up to an altar in the midst of darkness. Upon the altar sat three Jedi holocrons, one blue, one green, and one yellow. Their voices seemed to be drowned out by a single red one that was hoisted high above and gave the chamber its color. 

Keely did not take but a few steps in before she was terrified at what she saw. She retreated back to the hall, picked up Morgan and left that evil chamber alone.

In her terror and haste to leave, she did not shut the door. An evil aura began to make its way back out into the Nexus once again.
