MU-SO 1 activated the sensor package that was afixed to Mulk's chest. "Master Mulk will now be able to hear everything you say, as well as communicate with you. I'll next hook him to the ship's computer. That will allow him to take part in what is happening on the bridge. I really think you should reconsider this trip to Leelos IV. The sooner Master Mulk gets put into a proper Bacta tank in a hospital, the quicker his recovery will be." "We know Muso," Kinna said. "But we need to find this lab now. The New Republic has ships on their way to Leelos now, but we'll get there faster. We can scout things out and report what we find to them. In case the Imperials have a large presence there." "I'm not in any hurry," Mulk mechanical voice said over the ships intercom. "I'll just hang out here and soak. Besides, I can always have some Mazuran porn flashed into my brain while I'm hooked up to the computer." "Now we all know that's there's no such thing as Mazuran porn Mulk," Seesha said laughing. At that moment the door slid open and Joshua stood in the hatchway. "Pink says we'll arrive in the Leelos system in one hour. We need to get the Stubby prepped for it's scouting run to the planet's moon. Hey, Mulk. How's it hanging? Oh, that's right," Joshua says mockingly. "Your equipment don't hang." With a grin he walks back to the bridge. "I like that kid more everyday," Kerish said. "I think I'll adopt him." Kirk pops his head back in. "Melee, have you been using the replicator to make hats?" "Yep." Well that thing you have on your head is hideous. I love it." With a laugh, everyone gets up and heads to either the bridge or the hanger bay. "Kinna," Mulk says. "Hold up a minute. I have something to ask you." "Sure what is it? If it's that, I'll get #3 son in here." Kinna jokes. "This is serious Mistress Kinna." "Mulk, I haven't been a Mistress in years. I'm just your average loose cannon Jedi." "Yeah, right! That's why you have those long talks with Skywalker, Katarn and the others. That's why you took Onyhee as a padawan. You know that the Order needs to be rebuilt. So that's why I need to ask you something." "What's that?" Kinna say's cautiously. "Will you take me on as a Padawan?" "What? But you were my master. You were on the High Council for forty years." "But I also have not trained as a Jedi in 353 years. What happened yestaerday has shown me that I need to train again. I came very close to the darkside. Too close." Mulk curls his leg up. "I'm afraid this is as close as I can come to getting down on one knee," he said. Mistress Banka, will you take me as a Padawan Learner?" Kinna puts her hand on the tank. "I will take this responsibility my old friend. I will help you find your way back." "Thank you. I'm afraid I'll need to find new focus crystals for a new lightsaber. My saber was destroyed." "I know. But Seesha found what was left of it. And your crystals are undamaged." "That's good. Now you need to get to the hanger, and get ready. Mistress Kinna."
