"You are lucky with the backing you can receive!, although I can't complain about the resources the Jedi Temple provides us."

"It is the crystal my previous teacher, A Jedi Knight, provided me on the temple I studied for a few years after my accident. He never told me how he obtained this crystal and kept quiet about it. Although I am certain he had more, since he also used one for his droid to teach me."

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: @Jaicen: Purely informational: the Holonet as Jaicen knows it does not actually extend beyond the Union­ — and even in the Union it only works when on "civilized" worlds. As such, giving his holonet address to Lady Vitress does not actually allow her to contact him easily. The lack of actual Holonet infrastructure also prevents him from calling her later; though local radio worked out so far. Of course, the fact that the Holonet does not work here in no way prevents Jaicen from taking this action ^_^))

Lady Vitress quickly jotted down Jaicen's holomail address. It wasn't exactly clear how she would use it, but she double-checked to make sure she made no mistakes. "Bye Jedi Jaicen, don't forget me", she said as she practically ran off towards the gaurds.


While talking, the Jedi walked to the ship.

Ariana pilotted the ship back to the sattellite without any problems. Now they would only have to finish constructing replacement parts and power cells adapters from the low-tech parts they bought, which should probably be done in paralel to the delicate work of repairing the damaged subsystems around the impact site. Then, at the end of the day the replacement parts can be installed. This will probably take them a fair amount of time.

Then, tomorrow they can wire the ship's system-to-system bus to the satellite's connector port — if successfulthis will bring the sattellite's basic diagnostics up and running. With those, the pair can work on diagnosing and recalibrating the undamaged subsystems.

((OOC: It's work time again! Checks and description for building replacement parts and repairing the sattellite please. (Again, feel free to discuss plans and strategy. I'll continue once checks have been made!)))

[Ariana Danacia]

While in orbit of the satellite again Ariana was ready to suit up again.

"I will continue the repairs outside while you prepare the new parts."

Ariana moved to the cargo hold of their ship , preparing the supplies that she needed for the repairing of the impact site. Ariana suited up and went outside to continue her work on the satellite.

((Check: 22 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 2 Mechanical Engineer + 3 Telekinesis -- Ariana continues to repair the sattelite. Ariana carefully handles the satellite with a gentle touch, she pulls several tools and replacement parts in her direction using telekinesis))

[Jaicen Hedoss]

((OOC: also here, excuse for not responding, I was in norway and forgot my password)).

"Allright then! I can do that. It is kinda low-tech though, but I think I can manage." Jaicen responded to Ariana. "I will send TG-100 to help you again!"

Jaicen then brought the bought parts to a room in which he could work properly and assisted by his astromech he grabbed his toolkit and the other components and started to work.

((Check: 13 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 3 Mechanical Engineer -- Preparing the parts for Ariana))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: Checks: Approved; though Jaicen's only barely;))

While Ariana is working on preparing the satellite for the new parts, Jaicen is building the new parts. He has to do so basically from scratch, as the components they bought are low-tech and not of the best quality for this work. With work, however, he is able to construct a new power cell from the components they bought and several he retrieves from the destroyed powercell. The replacement isn't pretty, nor efficient, but it should work a few months at least — easily enough time to get actual replacement parts.

TG-100 hands the replacement parts to Ariana, mostly by picking them up and sticking them outside the force field where Ariana takes over. After about seven hours of work, the pair of Jedi has completed the task of repairing the hardware damage to the satellite.

Now all that remains is attaching the necessary communications cables to the satellite, and power cycling the whole satellite so they can enter diagnostics mode. With basic diagnostics up and running, the pair can work on diagnosing and recalibrating the undamaged subsystems.

The power cycle will take about nine hours due to having repaired the complete power subsystem which includes the power cells. So while the satellite cycles, the Jedi can catch some much-needed sleep. Tomorrow they can work on diagnostics, calibration and data retrieval.



With a good night's rest, the Jedi wake up refreshed in the morning. The satellite seems to have completed it's power cycle in full, and the ships diagnostics display shows a neat notification that a Geoanalyser Satellite MkI is connected to the system-to-system bus port.

Now the Jedi only have to run diagnostics and recalibrate the satellite to get it back to normal operations!

[Jaicen Hedoss]

((OOC: But I specialized in it :())

Jaicen reviewed his work and saw that he basically hacked the components together, he was sure it worked, but it was not that great. He made a mental note not to forget to obtain a decent replacement part in time. Since his experience said that usually never happens. Less technical people would say: "It works now, why change it, there are more important things now!".

After a while Jaicen was relieved it apparently worked. And during the power cycling Jaicen thanked Ariana for her work and went to bed quickly. Jaicen stood up on time and was very enthusiastic to see the diagnostics display. He immediately started to run diagnostics to recalibrate the satellite.

((Check: 14 = 5 Force Level + 4 Programming + 5 Reason -- Running Diagnostics))

[Ariana Danacia]

"We had to work with the materials at hand. Good job Jaicen."

Ariana followed the diagnostic on the main console.

She started to tweak the settings while the diagnostic ran. After the diagnostic had finished she started to recalibrate the satellite.

((Check: 21 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 4 Programming -- Tweaking the settings of the satellite and recalibrating it.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: @Jaicen: You just succeeded at something absurdly difficult: convert broken and low-quality second-hand parts from some backwater planet into a working replacement for a high-end Union satellite. If you would not have specialised, you would have failed.

For this post: checks Approved))

Working together, the two computer-savvy Jedi make quick work of the diagnositics. After low-level diagnostics, they are able to bring the satellite into full-diagnostics mode, where they were greeted with a much more usable diagnostics interface:

SatOS Diagnostics Terminal v3.5
Local system: Geoanalyser Satellite MkI
Remote system: Unknown Authorized Vessel
Connection: connected over system-to-system bus

Type 'help' to get started.

> _

With some work, and by reading the very nice manual they had, the pair of Jedi recalibrate the satellite for this solar system. After the satellite's subsystems have been recalibrated it took about an hour for the satellite to get its bearings, process its current situation and determine that it is in orbit around Kons, the fourth moon.

Now, with the complete diagnostic and recalibration complete, they could use the system-to-system bus for high-level communication. The satellite reports that it has:

• about two weeks of recorded seismic data,
• a preliminary analysis of seismic patterns, and
• two weeks worth of communications logs with errors about a missing receiver for the daily reports it wanted to send down.

Looking at the seismic data, the Jedi realized that the satellite was very good in recording the seismic activity of the planet and determining the most obvious epicenters through pattern analysis, but that it did not do any in-depth analysis or interpretation. That, they would have to do themselves.

The preliminary analysis of the satellite clearly agrees with the scientists in the camp, the satellite indicates five epicenters: one at each pole, and three on the equator spaced evenly around the moon.

Now that the Jedi repaired the satellite, they will have access to the satellite's capabilities from anywhere in the system, given that their ship does have a transceiver that works with the satellite's systems.

[Ariana Danacia]

((OOC: I believe we are now at day 4 into our schedule of 7 days. (1 day of fixing, 1 day of shopping, another day of 1 fixing and this day the diagnostics) Can you confirm this?))

"Lets download all the data, since that is what we came here for. The fact that we can now control the satellite is an added bonus for later.

Since we have two days left I propose we head back to the scientists and analyse the data together with them after we recovered all the data."

Ariana downloads the seismic data and preliminary analysis onto the ships computer system. Afterwards she hooks up her datapad to the ships system and sends the analysis and the data in a compressed form to her datapad.

((Check: 21 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 4 Programming -- Downloading the seismic data. Compressing the seismic data with an effective algoritm and putting it on her datapad.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: Confirmed, you are now in day 4 of schedule of 7.))

[Jaicen Hedoss]

"Weird interface, type help to get started. Normally you type help for help and start to start." Jaicen murmured to himself. "I am thinking that I should've talked to the Jedi who was making this satellite more, would've saved some trouble."

"Yeah, let us download all the data. Could I get a copy?." Jaicens TG-100 continues in a more audible sound: "While you download data is the system able to control the satellite? Since then I will try to control the satellite and type help to start. Then at least we will have up-to-date information."

"Let's head back afterwards. Those scientists know more about their country than we do."

((Check: 16 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 4 Programming + 2 Control Machine -- Control the satellite to check and record the current status of the Moon.

((OOC: I don't know whether the control machine is applicable, since Jaicen did not inter the satellite it with a DEM crystal. However Jaicen tries it to test the limitations of his skill.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: Ariana's check: Approved, partially. This is the Star Wars universe, so there's some things that can only be done with massive mainframes in cool science bases :P

Jaicen's first check: Approved. Jaicen's second check: Denied. Control Machine only works on the one attuned machine.))

Ariana initiates the data download, and the satellite happily starts sending 2 weeks worth of data through the system-to-system bus. Unfortunately her datapad is in now way capable of storing this amount of data. Knowing that you can't really "compress data", Ariana simply redirects the data stream and writes it to a data crystal she plugged into the vessels computer system. After a few minutes of transfer, the crystal starts glowing in a calming orange light for the rest of the transfer. The system indicates that the download will only take another two hours.

Jaicen quickly discovers that the satellite can be controlled while the download is running, albeit that the interface replies somewhat slower than before. After typing help and reading the on-line manual, Jaicen can discovers that he can retask the satellite to perform detail scans of areas of the planet, or to adjust it's orbital patterns. He can also get detailed status overviews of all subsystems, including the power cell he himself just built. It seems that the satellite can only perform one actual command at a time, but other commands are queued to be performed immediately after the running command. The only exception seems to be the data transfer.

Jaicen tasks the satellite with monitoring Kons again, allowing them to get up-to-date information whenever they want. After the data buffer has been dumped in about two hours, they can get up-to-date information via the transceiver aboard.


After the whole data download has been completed, the Jedi disconnect the system-to-system bus and head back down to the camp. While they are flying back, Jaicen can easily make a copy of the data crystal, the system happily copying the data from the first crystal to the second — copying is much faster than the system-to-system bus can transfer the data, only 15 minutes. Just before landing, the copy is complete.

The lead scientist quickly called every expert together and after having gathered everyone in the big "command" tent, gave the floor to the Jedi.

((OOC: It's up to you to determine what to do next, you have the full expertise of the scientists here at your disposal, giving a +4 to any analysis you want to perform! Take note that an analysis will take roughly half a day, so you have time for at most 4 analysis cycles.))

[Jaicen Hedoss]

Jaicen had brought a projector from their ship to display their data and his astromech droid set it up in the command tent while the scientists arrived in the tent. After everyone arrived TG-100 started by showing a picture of the moon with the place of the satellite in orbit and with a metallic voice he started:

"Thanks for arriving here, as you know, Ariana and I were busy the last few days with repairing the satellite provided by the Union. Apparently a small asteroid hit the satellite and incapacitated a crucial component. Luckily we were able to buy some basic components which, after some adjustments, we used to compensate for the impact. The improvised apparatus will hold for a few weeks, but a replacement should be obtained as soon as possible. We will provide you this new apparatus after this mission."

If anybody was surprised that a robot was talking Jaicen confirmed that it was his voice. Then the astromech adjusted the overlay of the planet with the current status of the moon, as measured by the satellite. Different sections of the moon were coloured with their basic status as indicated by the last scan of the sattelite.

"Here we can see a live feed from the satellite combined with the last measurement of the specific place. More specific and historic information can be obtained from this data crystal." As TG-100 pointed at the data crystal. "I suggest to start researching the two epicenters which are in a triangle around the equator, and not yet the one Trigiel and Darones are currently going to."

"Do you have any suggestions Master Ariana Daciana?"

[Ariana Danacia]

"I would actually look into the one that Trigiel and Darones are heading to first. Since the storm is there and the rumours about radiation this actually sounds like the most interesting spot to me. To be honest I hope that Trigiel and Darones can find out what is happening, however I believe it would help if we can give them some perspective."

"What do you expect to find there? To be honest I am still looking for either an unnatural or supernatural cause."

Ariana paused for a moment and looked at the scientists."What do you guys think?"

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: @Jaicen: nobody brought a holoprojector in their equipment. But worry not, there was one present in the scientists' camp.))

Unfortunately, Jaicen could not find a separate holoprojector on their cargo vessel. It had one in the navigation console, but that was an old one that was built into the console itself. However, he remembers that the scientists actually have a small projector in the "command tent" that they had used to show their readings to the Jedi before they set of to repair the satellite — so there is a projector present!

Jaicen's astromech quickly interfaces with the holoprojector present, and although it was a rather outdated model it did work well.

Some of the scientists are slightly surprised at the metallic voice of TG-100, but none of them question the identity of the droid or why it speaks for Jaicen. They seem very ready to simply accept such things at face value, not being fazed by things they cannot readily explain seems to come naturally to them.

The scientists respectfully wait until the Jedi were done talking, even as they discussed their plans. After Arian's question, the lead scientists answers: "A very cursory view on this data suggests that a series of shocks, with somewhat even delays between them. I would suggest first looking at the whole situation and the time series before researching anything in specific."

[Jaicen Hedoss]

((OOC: You are right, but every astromech droid in the star wars universe has one, and I also assumed the ship would have a holoprojector to communicate.)).

"I didn't notice the even delays between the shocks. Let's first find out when and where the earthquakes started and how they progressed. If Master Ariana Agrees with this method I say: Let's go."

Then Jaicen started providing everyone with data and looking into the start and progression of the earthquakes.
Jaicen then created a quick program to analyse any statistical deviancies in the measurement data. Following that he applied the pattern recognition software from TG-100 with his machine learning software on the deviancies.

((Check: 16 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 4 Programming + 2 Control Machine -- ))

[Ariana Danacia]

"A wise plan to start at the beginning and start with the bigger picture. We had not studied the data yet as a whole.

I believe it is easier to study it and talk about it if you can see it. I will write a simulation on the data to display the progression we have."

Ariana started to write a simple visualization of the moon and plotted the data they had on it with the time passing as a feature. She could manipulate the speed of time passing with a simple control and reset the visualization with another one.

((Check: 21 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 4 Programming -- Writing a simple simulation and displaying the activity over time.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: I have shifted my dedicated posting time for this Mission to Tuesday and Saturdays. Hopefully this will help me stay on schedule and keep things going.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: @Jaicen: The Star Wars universe, and therefore the FWURG universe, is a bit peculiar with computers: they need to be specialized to work, and even then they are crap (no targettting systems for example). I know this does not make sense with what we know about computers and how they can be used in the real world, but it's how the FWURG universe works. As such, you cannot use TG-100's rather advanced pattern processing chips to analyse the data so your base check is 14. However, as stated in an earlier post, you do get a +4 bonus from the scientists, bringing your check to a higher total of 18. Check Approved!

@Ariana: Since you are writing a tool to assist the analysis, you do not receive the +4 bonus. However, Ariana is basically already a master-class data visualiser without the scientist's help: Check approved.))

Ariana quickly whips up an ad-hoc program to visualise the data, and spends some time getting her gear to actually work with the basic holoprojector they have here — which seems strange, as Jaicen's astromech had no problem interfacing with the equipment at all.

While Ariana is busy getting the holoprojector working with her pad, Jaicen digs into the data itself. Together with the scientists, he creates an algorithm to analyse the patterns in the data and to detect deviances from these patterns. His attempt to get TG-100 to analyse the patter through his pattern recognition banks fails, with the droid simply looking at the data blankly. Back on Unity, in the droid lab, he would probably be able to rig something up — but out here, Jaicen has to work with what he has available, in this case, the scientists' intuition and his own reason.

After a while, Ariana spots the problem: her gear is advanced top-of-the-line hardware, and the holoprojector simply isn't fast enough to keep up. The droid automatically compensates, since it has to work with a wide variety of arbitrary systems, wherease Ariana's pad does not auto-adjust. She quickly adjusts the pad's output frequency and gets her program to work.

With Ariana's visualisation, and Jaicen's analysis of the patterns of shocks, the group can quickly draw some conclusions over the timeframe that the satellite monitored the moon:

• There seem to be two intensities of shocks, quickly deemed 'major' and 'minor' shocks by the scientists, even though by now, the 'major' shocks are not as devastating as the original quakes,
• The epicenter of the major shocks seems to follow a pattern: the north and south pole together, followed by each of the epicenters on the equator in turn, and then repeating with the north and the south pole together again, followed by the equator epicenters in turn, etc.
• Jaicen's inital analysis shows that the minor shocks are less predictable, but seem to be coming mostly from the two epicenters that last produced major shocks,
• Jaicen's pattern analysis also shows that the time between major shocks is roughly 2 days

Based on these findings, some of the scientists become rather vocal about the fact that this is to structured to be a natural occurence, and that the will of the gods is most clear in these events. Several other scientists seem to acknowledge the uncanny coincidence of the pattern, but are more grounded in their search for an explanation.

One hypothesis that quickly gains traction is the idea that the coincidence of the pattern is due to equator plates realigning, causing vault lines at both poles to effectively "echo" the shocks, leading to the seemingly coincidental pole shocks.

It is clear that the Jedi will have to direct this work, as all the scientists are eager, but not necessarily all to keen on following sound scientific principles.

((OOC: This was the first of at most four analyses. It's up to you what to focus on next. Don't forget that you get a +4 to actual analysis work. Also, it helps a lot if you describe what your character hopes to get out of the analysis!))

[Jaicen Hedoss]

"Allright, Ladies and gentlemen, we got some conclusions about the pattern. I agree that is seems too structured to be a natural occurrence. The will of the gods might play a part in this, but we need to exclude other factors. For example: It could also be a human with explosions influencing the tectonic plates". Jaicen concludes as he gathers the scientists after the first round of research. "Nice visualization Ariana, it really helps understanding this problem."

"Like Klere Kahn here suggest the pattern might be due to changing vault lines. It might be worthwhile to research where and how deep under the ground the pattern actually starts, the hypocenter, and also combine this place with the ground layers present. This can be combined with a visualization of the shock pattern along the vault lines. Could we do this by examining the changes in the magnetic field around the planet?"

"I will start to program a program which calculates the S and P-waves and the magnetic field to find the hypocenters and the starting place."


((OOC: I invented a random name for a random scientist, if that is allowed, it would be weird otherwise to talk about the people as 'like this random scientist next to me says'.))

((Check: 18 = 5 Force Level + 5 Reason + 4 Programming+4 Help scientists -- Programming the S and P waves to find the hypocenters, the starting place of each pattern and combine it with the ground layer.

[Ariana Danacia]

"I agree that we should look into vault lines. We have to look into the timing of the events and the locations. I propose to focus on two of the locations for example the two on the equator and study them with the information we have about the equator plates."

((Check: 25 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 4 Programming + 4 Help Scientists -- Combining the satellite data with the information about the plate lines for the epicenters on the equator.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

Inventing a random name is no problem; as long as you try to keep them "in theme". This one is perfect.))

Not completely surprising, several of the scientists here were geologists. They quickly agreed with Jaicen and Ariana's separate approaches, and helped out by dividing the problems and the analysis into sub-problems that roughly fit the areas of expertise of all present scientists.

Jaicen's work made progress fast, until the discovery that the satellite only provides the most basic measurements of the magnetic field. The satellite's magnetic sensors were low-resolution sensors, and the more accurate seismic data was recorded through a gravitational field metric. This did not really pose a big problem, but it required a different set of equations. So Jaicen and his team went back to the figurative drawing board.

Jaicen also discovered that the scientists did not actually have detailed information on the ground types of the moon. They did know where the fault lines are due to records and measurements, but it never occurred to them to start mapping out the ground layers of the moon. Besides, they simply do not have the equipment or the manpower to do so.

Ariana's team quickly mapped out the fault lines surrounding the three locations on the equator. Correlating that with the timing results from the earlier round of analysis, they came up with some preliminary results to help focus the actual tedious work of mapping out the locations relative to the detailed fault line map.

Jaicen's team found a new set of equations to plug into his analysis program. The fine-tuning of the equations to correctly function in the three-dimensional space of the moon's volume took up most of the time, since many of the equations were actually built for use on the surface only. Leaving little time to animate and analyse the shock travel over the fault lines.

But this is where Ariana's idea struck home. Her team had been busy with both electronic and analog maps of the tectonic plates and fault lines around the equator epicenters. And Ariana's programming skill allowed her to update the visualisation with an overlay for the fault lines and tectonic plates.

Combining their work, the Jedi and the scientists discovered several more pieces of information:

• Jaicen's team discovered that the hypocenters are deep beneath the surface, at a depth of about 5 kilometers,
• Ariana's investigation clearly shows that all three epicenters on the equator are aligned on fault lines between major plates,
• Ariana concludes that the epicenters on the equator slowly migrate away from the fault lines over the two weeks of measurement data they move about a kilometer. They remain on the equator, but move counter to the rotation of the planet.
• Combining the fault and tectonic plate overlay with wave analysis makes it seem very likely that the epicenters at the poles are not actual epicenters at all, but rather some kind of tectonic echo. Further analysis is necessary to determine if this is actually the case.
• It seems that the timing of the events on the equator are such that the intensity of the minor tremors never goes below a certain threshold, which of itself seems an unlikely phenomenon.

The scientists are rather enthuisiastic about this work, in part because they now have this dataset which is clearly of higher quality than what they had access to before. And in part due to the Jedi's expertise with programming and visualisation, the scientists can now actually do an analysis that goes beyond careful notes on paper maps.

Instead of bickering about religion or possible hypotheses, they are simply looking at the Jedi now to see what best to analyse next.


((OOC: You just completed analysis cycle 2, and you can do 2 more.

EDIT: Added small paragraph on lack of ground-layer information.))

[Ariana Danacia]

"We clearly have specific patterns now. Unfortunately the earthquakes are around the fault lines of the planet. We should combine the information we now have to make a prediction when the next major quake will occur. I will write a predictive algorithm using the data we currently have. Provide me with any kind of input that could make the prediction more accurate."

Ariana used the programs that she previously created and the information that they processed to write a new algorithm to predict the next major earthquake.

((Check: 25 = 10 Force Level + 7 Reason + 4 Programming + 4 Help Scientists -- Combining the data they have and the patterns that they discovered to write a predictive algorithm to determine the most likely time that the next major quake will occur.))

[Jaicen Hedoss]

Jaicen had the feeling something was entirely wrong with this whole situation, but he could not point the finger on it. Sure they could make a predictive pattern, but would it help in preventing the earthquakes? It would definitely prevent people from dying, since they could take shelter on time, Jaicen was a bit confused, there was a connection here he was missing, maybe with a person, maybe with the temple, maybe with the weird pattern. Then Jaicen reminded himself of the Jedi code: Chaos, yet harmony.

TG-100 said to the scientists: "I think you should all assist Master Ariana in making the predictive patterns. It would definitely help predicting these devastating earthquakes. With your permission Ariana, I'd like to meditate on the analysis and the connections we are missing, I got the feeling something is entirely wrong here. Does that sound like a decent idea?"

If Ariana agreed Jaicen retreated to a specific place in the tent with TG-100 and started to meditate on the connections of the people he had seen, Allowing the force to guide him: The Duke, The bishop, Lady Vitress, the priests of the angry mob. He then turned his mind to the earthquakes, why would the pattern be so repetitive, what are the options of this repetition, could it be natural, could it be man-made? And why specifically the temple, they are usually build on holy sites, or maybe sites with a strong force connection. Could it be that the temple is made near the previous earthquake, or is there a strong force resonance in that place?

((Check: 10 = 5 Force Level + 5 Intuition -- Meditating on the results of the measurement))


((OOC: Jaicen specifically was interested in the ground types at the places. Since all the checks succeeded with additional results, could you give me the answer to that?

Furthermore I realize this is a strange course of action, and it is a bit 'vague', it is by no means a method to get the 'answer' to this story for free, Jaicen just thinks that just by analyzing not enough data will be obtained and he thinks there is a (strong force) connection between everything.))

[Storyteller (Brend)]

((OOC: I gave no information on that since there is little knowledge about it -- the satellite cannot pick that up, and the scientists do not have perfect knowledge of the moon either. As such, it is basically an unknown. I have updated my previous post to clarify this.))
