Stev looks at the holocron and tries to manipulate it to open. It does not seem to have a way to open it on the outside. He knows that Que probably knows more about holocrons. The helmet sits on his bunk it's faceplate almost blank except forthe visor.
Ooc Stev could try to sense how to open the holocron. Most require some force power to activate.

Stev turns the holocron around in one hand while holding the visor with the other. Since they were stored together, it's possible that they could be related. Maybe it's some sort of contact key? If he doesn't find any button, he'll see if placing the holocron on the visor or in the helmet gets it going.

The battle scored helmet does not seem to activate the holocron and Stev spins it in his hands he sees a reflection of himself in the visor. In the reflection he can see an aura of the force around him.
OOC Kyquell PM me about using a sense power on the holocron.
He reaches out with the force and the holocron begins to shift, spin, and parts retract. It floats out of his hand and hovers in the air. The holocron sends a projection below it and Stev sees a man and woman standing before him.
The man is thin with long black hair that curtains his face. He looks weathered and beaten like the prisoners you saved from Sarne's concentration camps on Kal Shebbol. Even so there is a confidence in his stance and a power in his eyes.
Beside him stands a woman in her mid forties. She looks tired and her eyes have a haunted look to them. As the man does she stands in jedi robes.
The man speaks,"My name is Revan. I have been many things in life but today I stand a Jedi with my companion Meetra. We have found a threat beyond any the Republic has faced. We have found a Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions. It is hundreds of worlds and thousands of Sith warriors. The empire is lead by an undying Emperor for the last thousand years. He has used a connection to a void beyond light and dark, beyond Jedi and Sith, or even good and evil. This void is what gives him his power. For all of his abilities he is just a puppet to this void. I touched his mind and saw this creature of emptiness. It does not crave power or to dominate the force. It wants to consume the force and the universe with it. If allowed it will send it spiderlike minions to consume everything. We traveled to a world that the Emperor released these darkstyders onto and they consumed the force leaving the world empty. We go to destroy the emperor as our first step in destroying this void. If we fail I hope T3 and the Ebon Hawk find someone who can stand against the void. Whomever the force leads to find this know one thing, it is a threat to light and dark and both will be needed to destroy it."
He places the mask you now hold on his head. His stance changes to one of power and arrogance. "We go now to see if an undying emperor can be killed."
Stev hears a whistle at the doorway and looking up sees Brophar and T3 standing there. "Okay T3, Ebon Hawk is a slightly better name than Muvon." the ship's owner states.
T3 rolls in and begins to play a smaller holograph. It shows a battle between an old Sith Lord Stev just knows is the Emperor, Revan, Meera, and another powerful looking Sith warrior. The battle is an amazing display of force powers. Revan shifts from light to dark disciplines easily. As it looks to be shifting toward the three warriors the Sith thrusts his light saber through Meera killing the jedi. You only see a few seconds more as the driod is lifted in the air and then gone. The holograph shifts quickly to a scene inside the engineering bay of the Ebon Hawk. The droid T3 begins to roll out of it's recharge dock.
"So you are a backup of the original droid," Brophar states. "Your programming was downloaded into the ship itself in case anything happens."
T3 whistles that his programming is one with the ship. In a way he is the ship.

((Still waiting on a response from the Jarrel as well as Aren making the downtime post (only one active consistently) before bothering with debrief.))

One Jarrel come forward. In his hand he hold a small earpiece as he kneels and grovels before Vandal.
(I will assume you place it on your ear.)
The grunts and humming sounds of the small tentacles that cover the Jarrel's breathing orifice are translated into a monotone basic by the earpiece. "General Sevrine the right hand of General Kobal the true Mandolore we stand in service to you. Your return brings us to great joy. Anything we can do to assist in the coming of the savior we will do. Our lives are yours."
He turns to the company of Jarrels and begins a chant they all join.
"The void which leads to nothing will be destroyed. The prophet will be returned. The end of all will be avenged. Stand for Kobal, stand for the prophet, stand against the great nothing."

"...So you didn't understand a word that I said outside, is that correct?" She asked the Jarrels, her lips contorting into a grimace. She held up a finger as though to tell the Jarrels to wait as she popped in her other earpiece and started speaking into her comms in Huttese. Talk about committing to an act. "Sir, we need to get Red and have a nice long chat before debriefing to explain the Jarrel situation I have a translator with their language on it, and can probably have it adapted into our systems given enough time. We also need Gorak kept under until we return to the FarStar. I suggest alternating blunt force 'therapy' with drug induced comas to stretch the supplies and keep morale up." Once she was done, she popped the first earpiece in. "...You all need to give me your names or get assigned one. I can't just keep calling you all 'you.' I don't even do that to my actual subordinates. It's disgusting."

The first Jarrel walks forward,"I am Halan the first of us. This is Butki the crusher, Obram the mighty (who is mighty large even for a Jarrel but a little rounder than the others), Dbuffon the follower, Fenkic the last defense (he is a little taller and thinner), Mad Macon the dreamer, Patyon the quick (he is smaller but looks harder and tougher than the others), Url the bold, and the brothers Cutter, Marsi, Alsha, and Forte. They have not been bloodied enough to have earned titles." Stev recieves a call on his comm from Vandal who stands outside the ship before departure with the dozen Jarrels.  |

"Noted. But did you actually understand anything I said before your warriors proved... more rational than I?" Vandal asked, raising her brow. "Much blood has been senselessly shed due to a failure to communicate, and I need to know what you know so that I can guarantee mercy. First mandate is the word, if unheeded the second mandate is the blade. That... basically means there's a certain chain of command I have to follow before I go around swinging the damned Mandate. Union regulations. All that." She tapped the lightsaber hanging from her cloak.

"Our language is a complex one only through the translator can I understand you or you I General." she notes he has the same earpiece sticking out of what she believes to be an ear. "The small one promised us a chance to return to the passage and free you from the void. We did not realize these creatures where also working to free you as well. The small one must have misunderstood their intentions. He said things that have been found to not be true."

"...I understand." She nodded. "I apologize on behalf of that green traitor Gorak for his intentions to deceive you. I also apologize on behalf of my men for the violence against your people. Gorak, the 'small one' may have misled you as to my true nature, as well. The truth will come in time, however, I need to clear your names and have you absolved from any guilt by association with that slaving waste of space. Come with me, please." She motioned, leading them into the ship.
"...I need a status update on my armor's repairs. I'll also need to have communication passed on to command that we need to rotate Gammer and Sasha off of active combat for the next week. Tell them I'll detail it in my report. That bastard sticking me with the damn paperwork. Couldn't Gorak wait until after the operation was done to pull this crap?!" Vandal said into her comms, disconnecting her arm from the mount and placing it on a nearby table. It was a bit heavy to wear outside of combat, and she didn't anticipate needing both arms, not when she wore a Lightsaber. The brief moment her arm peeked out revealed a long black glove and heavy black breeches and boots. She sported a black bodyglove with reinforcements evocative of a bustier that preserved modesty and ridded people of the illusion that the Republic Trooper present was a male.

"No apologies are needed for the battle with my brothers. They died in battle and the foe was a valiant one. It is the best way to die." As Halen explains the others grunt approvial,'May we all die as well as they.'

At the former Gas Giants. (fast forward)
Invictus could feel. It had been an age since he felt anything. The feeling was a cold crawling over his fingers, toes, and ears. Eyes flickering he saw nothing but darkness, but was seeing. Tubes down nose and throat he pushed air from his lungs and heard the slow wheeze around the tubes. He was pinned in a tomb made by Sarne cast into a storm and used as a tool to control and direction the storm's fury. The crystal embedded in the base of his skull feeding from his powers. The crystal, He could not feel the crystal's spyder spirit crawling over him anymore. He was himself.
Invictus is naked and pinned in a space barely large enough for him. He has no sensors or sense of where he is but remembers being enclosed in a control pod by Sarne's Mon Cal doctor.
The Muvon and the Ghitroc see the two pods floating in space. Sivu notes life signs from only one of the pods. Stev can feel someone reaching out in the force. Someone confused and angry.

Stev can only sit in wide-eyed silence as the holo plays out. That was THE Revan and THE Exile. He was sitting in THE Ebon Hawk with THE T3-M4 watching over him. The lightsabers, while clearly not belonging to either of the Jedi, had to be about as old. And the warning...well, he has a pretty good idea what Sarne's plan is now, judging by the name. Sarne was going to use this Force-destroying tech as a weapon, and could end up eradicating the universe in the process. Definitely bad news.
At the whistle, Stev is suddenly pulled out of his thoughts, almost as if awakening from a daze. "I'm, uh, I'm going to keep this to show the rest of the crew. T3, I...thank you. You've already spent a thousand lifetimes defending the Republic, and I'm honored that you're helping us do it again." He gives the droid a bow as he gets Vandal's comm.
He arrives as Vandal leads them to the ship, which he understands is a gesture of trust. "I'll talk to Brophar about setting up accommodations for them. This is going to be a very tight fit, but I think we can shift around the gear in the cargo bays and give them some space. By the way, we'll need to move the meeting time forward. That holocron had more important info than I could've imagined."
He'll then go back to Brophar and inform him of the additional passengers, all the while sneaking glances at T3. Once he has a moment, he's going to see if T3 can compile some of the info it gained over the years. Considering T3 was an observer during Revan's retraining in the Force and Surik's initiation of several crewmembers into Jedi ranks, the droid could be hiding enough info to start a Jedi Library in its memory banks.
----
OOC: This jumps to the fast-forward portion.
Stev gasps as he feels a presence. "There's somebody alive in one of those. We've got to see if we can recover the lifeform. Sivu, scan the giants as planned, we've got to take a detour."

OOC: Corrections made!
PD13 maneuvers the Gthroc he has renamed Slacker's Dream to the pod showing no life signs hoping to add another droid to his droid liberation army and comedy improv troupe. He finds the pod does not have the traditional airlock and moves it to under the ships main ramp. With Sivu sealed in the cockpit he vents the ramp and halls and has his PD brothers pull the pod aboard. The ramp is raised and atmo is returned quickly to the area.
