There are two small thuds, a whimper, and then, “...Ri?”

Permalink

"Yes, it's Ri. I'm fine. We won."

Permalink

“...hurts.”

There’s a flicker of blue, huddled up against a wall.

Permalink

"I can help," she repeats, pushing away her own uncertainty.

Permalink

“Fried my generator...can’t...turn it off.”

There is some attempt to Force pull Ri over. 

Permalink

She lets herself be pulled, coming over to Thekla.

She listens in the Force - for a way to turn off the generator, or - she doesn't need her sight to use the Force, and she knows somehow that using the Force to heal people is possible so it must be something she can do -

Permalink

She can feel the outline of Thekla’s body, the pain mostly coming from her hip.

The blaster bolt hit the generator...and burned part of the circuitry into Thekla. 

Permalink

Not good.

She needs to cut off the generator's power, first, without hurting Thekla. Can she tell how?

Permalink

If she’s quick and careful, she can send the flow of power back on itself, rather than running through the part embedded in Thekla, creating a feedback loop that will shut down the cloak. 

Permalink

She focuses, taking a deep breath -

And tries.

Permalink

The cloak whines once, and then flickers away. Thekla yelps softly, but there's not spike of pain from her, so it seems more in surprise.

Now that Ri has a better look, she can see how badly the shot burned into Thekla's hip, and that she managed to hang onto all the parts she stole, despite that.

Permalink

"You're tough," she says. "I'm going to see if I can do anything for this, okay?"

Best way to get Thekla healed? Either 'with the Force' or by taking her to a clinic...

Permalink

Ri!?

Bastila's voice is terrified through the Bond. 

Permalink

I'm okay. With someone with a bad injury, she needs help.

She pushes her location.

Permalink

I told you to stay put- hang on. I’m coming with help.

It doesn’t take Bastila long to find them, and she looks terrified and relieved as she runs up to Ri. 

Permalink

A man follows behind her, and Ri can feel he is a Jedi. 

Permalink

"She's injured," Ri says. "Mostly burns from a blaster. I'm unhurt."

Permalink

Bastila wants to wrap Ri up in a hug, and probably scold her to near death, but instead she crouches next to Thekla, frowning at the wound. “Master?” She calls. 

Permalink

“Difficult, not impossible,” the man says, inspecting it. 

Permalink

Thekla whimpers, and tries weakly to move away. 

Permalink

“It’s all right. I’m not going to hurt you.”

He turns to Bastila. “We need to move her somewhere secluded, so that we can help.”

Permalink

"I can help."

"Thekla, is it okay if we move you?"

Permalink

"He- here. Here." 

She pushes an image into Ri's mind, of a small apartment. The directions where to go. It comes with a strong feeling of home

Permalink

She gently scoops Thekla up, using the Force to make it a bit easier on them both.

"I know where we're going," she says, mostly to Bastilla. "Somewhere safe and private." She pushes what Thekla sent her along their bond.

Permalink

Bastila nods. "Lead the way."
