(BEFORE LOOKING AT THIS, LOOK AT THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS, TRANCE ROOM AND SHIPPING DOCK) I land on the mechanized city port, water surrounding me everywhere. I need to speak with one of the Selkath heads in order to get below the surface, where I will find my crystal.

I see one selkath, and approach him.
"Do you know where I can get down below the surface?"
the selkath looks at me, then walks away. I stare with a confused look on my face. What did I do? Well, I need to find a place with many people, and that place is a cantina. I keep walking.

And I end up in a bustling refuge of activity, shouting and swift barfights. I tug on one man's pantleg.
"Do you know how I can get below the surface?"
the man looks at me, then gives me an evil smile.
"Sure, I'll tell ya." He hoists me up by the robe, and pulls out a knife.
"Damn jedi, think you can meddle with us. Well guess what? You don't send a kid to get rid of the yakuza!"
He is about to slit my throat, when a fist comes out of nowhere and knocks the man to the ground. I land on the man's chest, evicting a cry of pain. I look up, and another man is looking at me.
"You allright, kid?"
"Thanks to you. Thanks mister."
The man is goodlooking, in a ruggedly handsome sense. He has a republic army uniform on. I am shocked, the man must be a clone, even though he has blonde hair and green eyes. He laughs, then says,
"Well, what did you ask him?"
"I told him that I need to get under the surface. Can you help me?"
the clone furrows his bow, then says, "Come with me."
I follow, as asked.

I follow the clone to a door, and he opens it saying a special passcode.
When the door opens, two blaster rifles are pointing at me.The first clone that I met quickly says, "No! He's on our side, no problem." The clones quickly lower their rifles, the first must be the commander.
The men all look different, I am doubting that they are clones. But, they are all weaing uniforms of the Grand Army of the Republic, so they must be. They all stand up, and introduce themselves.
The first says his name is Kerrson, SARC-01. I tell him that is my name too. He laughs, and rubs my head. I like this guy, he reminds me of my father. The second, a gruff, huge man, says his name is Ordo, SARC-02, and then sits back down. Then the third comes up to me, gives me a weak smile, and introduces himself as Hettar, SARC-03. Kerrson seems open, but the others all seem to be more brotherlike, and to not adapt well to strangers. Maybe they will open up later.
(If you remeber, these are the names of my squad back on the clindenaar site.)
"So, when did the council send you?" kerrson asks me.
"About a day ago. I am supposed to be looking for my lightsaber crystal."
The clones look shocked, and stare at me.
"You're not even a padawan?"
"No sir. What was that man talking about?"
"The yakuza are a criminal element, one that has a mining colony on the bottom of the ocean. They have found the basic elements for glitterstim, and now have a mine there. We have been sent to take it out."
"I'm sorry, I will help with that, but I will not be much help until I get my lightsaber crystal."
Kerrson smiles, then says,"Well, we'll have to get that pretty soon then, huh?"
I smile back at the man, then we go to the submarine in the back of the warehouse.

The men load up all their gear, and it seems to make the tiny submarine even smaller. Kerrson takes me aside, and hands me his blaster.
"Do you know how to use one of these?"
I look at the gun, not even knowing which way is the bad end.
"No sir. I never learned about blasters...."
He smiles again, and says, "Here. Let me show you."
He puts the pistol in my hand, and then shows me all of the components, from the charge to the muzzle, and gives me some rudimentry knowledge in firing it. He gives me the blaster pistol, saying he will have to find another one, and winks.
We mount up in the submarine, and we go off. The SARCs will be fine in their armor, but I need a suit. One was brought onboard for the occasion, and sits right behind me in the cargo bay. It is gunmetal gray, like the SARC's armor beside me, and has a two sonic ttachments to kill Firaxin sharks that get near. The men all have their wrist mounted vibroblades, along with smaller, pistol-like sonic attachments.
I sit at the sonar console, and the screen is suddenly bathed in contacts.
"We've got contacts everwhere!"
Hettar laughs, then says, from right next o me in the pilot's console, "Don't worry. I said the same thing. Those are jewelfish, they're attracted to the ship."
I look out of the viewport, and I see all different, shining colors. Jewelfish. Now I know where they get the name from.

"Here we are. Oean floor."
the men and I hop out of the consoles, and I don the armor. Into the airlock we go, then out of it.
"So, where are we headed?"
we acivate the jets on our backs, no enemies in sight.
"Well, I need to kill a giant Firaxin shark. Or get by him."
"WHAT? Those haven't been seen in ages!"
"Well, that is the only way I can get the crystal I am looking for. Let's go."
"You're crazy."
We head off in the direction of a cave, hoping and praying for the best.

(I'm gettin tired of writing, I'm gonna skip some)
I come back out of the cave, a silver diamond in my hand.
"got it. The giant firaxin wasn't home..."
all of the sudden, a black shadow passes over me.
kerrson curses, then tells us to stay still. I can feel the huge beast's gaze pass over me, then leave. We wait for what seems to be a year, but was about three minutes, then head back to the submarine. Crystal goes into hilt, and I stare at the now deadly weapon. My lightsaber. I press the activator switch, and out of the pure black hilt comes a pure silver white blade.
"In darkness, I am light."

"Alright, so now we're ready to take out the base?"
kerrson and the others pause for a moment, not moving. I wonder what the are doing...I cannot read any emotion through the faceless helmets. They must be talking throught the com system. Finally kerrson looks at me, and speaks.
"We don't know where it is."
