[OOM] Ilum, Jedi Enclave.

[stuck_mynock]

They have all of an hour to get up, shower, have breakfast and get ready before Atton is rushing off, yelling back at Will and Guppy about how they should start making tracks.

Five minutes later, they arrive in the hangar bay, and Atton starts looking around for their snowspeeders. He's a little miffed when he sees what they have instead.

Furry animals, about halfway between mammal and flightless bird, with reins and harnesses.

"I thought we were getting snowspeeders, not tauntauns," he protests.

The Jedi he's talking to shakes their head, sadly. "Snowspeeders are all broken."

"Aye, Atton, wasna ye."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Flatly: "We need to move on."

Not that he's actually moving. He seems rooted in place.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy offers him some water.

"Yes, we can do this."

His logic is telling him that if what he saw with Alexander is in his future, then that probably means they're going to survive. It may be flawed logic but he's sticking with it.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, ye're na that man any more. Water will be o'some aid."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton takes a quick sip of the water, then starts striding along.

If they're still holding onto him, he has no qualms about dragging them along.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy has let go by this point. It's hard to hug someone whilst offering them water.

He follows, trying to keep up.

[will_scarlett]

Will's just staying close by and following those he's quite wary at this point.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton doesn't look at either of them.

"Why did nobody think of installing a map here," he murmurs.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Because we're in a big hole?" Guppy suggests.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye an probably no one's lived 'ere for a while."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"It wasn't originally in a big hole. Also, even if nobody's lived here for a while, the people who did live here long ago might still've needed a map."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Well if we take every left turn, we shouldn't get lost." Guppy says. "And you could follow our scent to get back out?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, might work."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Blink.

"Why would we take every left turn? Surely that would just lead us steadily around in a circle?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Only if the route is a circle. If there are dead ends then you turn around and go down the next one."

[will_scarlett]

"Tis there aught that might be used as a map?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Like what, Will?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"Could we carve marks in the ice to show which way we've been?"

[will_scarlett]

"Na sure, some sort o'sign or all."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton pinches the bridge of his nose.

"The following our scent idea was a good one. Let's just keep walking for now."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy nods and keeps going, looking edgily around for any more weird vision stuff.

[will_scarlett]

As does Will, he's just not sure, this place is confusing.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Eventually, they reach a large, circular room, dominated by a control panel.

"Watch the door," Atton says, heading over to it.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy does so, getting his stun gun and blaster ready.

[will_scarlett]

Will moves to the other side of the door so that all angles are seen.
