Nei hadn't realised she'd slipped into a meditative state until the images started to appear before her eyes. It took her a moment to focus on her surroundings, before her attention was diverted by a roar to a fight. She turned just in time to see Venrii launch himself at his opponent, only for Sara-Jane to swipe him to the side with the force before he landed on her, and to shoot him as he hit the wall. Just as a figure in dark robes approached, slowly clapping.

Nei jolted awake from her trance in shock, she hadn't been able to hold it long enough to try and get a good look at the robed figure. But she'd seen more than enough, brother and sister fighting, and one killing the other.

She'd wanted something to do, to aim for, now she knew. She needed to swot up on how often Force visions came true, and hope it wasn't often.

Once Nei has the few possessions she cares to retrieve - though mostly her lightsabre - she heads back towards the exit of the compound. She knows that getting out will be trickier than getting in. Last time it had been a spur of the moment when she happened to see the opportunity.

She was within sight of the exit when she's spotted, a Jedi she recognises but doesn't know, and she slows as he approaches her. "Aren't you-"

"Nobody important." She interrupts, focusing all her willpower on the man, as if her gaze alone can change his mind.

She almost breaths a sigh of relief when he nods, and she continues towards her destination. She doesn't stop once she's out, not before she's far enough away to know that she can lose anyone who comes after her again. There she stops, leaning against a dark alley wall whilst she considers what to do next. She doesn't want to leave the girl to a fate she doesn't wish, but she has no intention of returning to the Jedi... yet she needs a direction for her life.

Xam surveys the ship and crew she's managed to hire, with a little coercion from her sponsors, she's not convinced that they're up to it. But they didn't want to enter the unknown she offered, and even with her sponsors she was still an unknown quantity to them.

Her reputation is one of being unkillable, as the ship engages it's hyperdrive, she's convinced it's about to end in a fireball above Junkka.

Nei: Like I said, just shout.

Nei then unhooks the implant allowing her speech and pockets it as she departs towards and into the Jedi complex. When she left the first time she left almost all her possessions behind, including her lightsabre. She had assumed she wouldn't miss it, and had been proven wrong, so since she had had to come back anyway, she figured she might as well try and reclaim it.

It was easy enough to pass off her Force aura as that of any other padawan, she always had found it easy - and sometimes preferable - to be invisible, unassuming. People tended to overlook her. Though she had a feeling that at least one Jedi would be on the lookout for her returning, they didn't necessarily take things like running away lightly.

It doesn't take her long to get to her old room - luckily it's other occupants out during the day time - and to be able to get to her old storage locker to retrieve it.

Xam sighs as she shoves another mercenary off her. Her reputation is barely existent here, correction, was barely existent. Now that she'd killed the first two mercenaries who had laughed at her suggestion of work and decided they wanted to do other 'jobs' for her the rest were simply looking at her in stunned silence.

Xam: Well, now, since you've been taught to have the proper respect for those offering you work, shall we try again?

Nei: *giggles* Bad? I doubt you have my interests in mind, so how would it be bad for the Council? Besides, I have no intention of trying to get in.

As they follow Nitsua off the ship Nei turns to Sara-Jane and presses a couple of fingers of her right hand to Sara-Jane's temple, and allows a flow of the Force to be shared between them.

Nei: *quietly* A way to call for help, I probably won't be allowed into the Council, but I know how I expect it to go. It doesn't hurt to have a back up plan.

She pauses as Sara-Jane and Venrii share a concerned look.

Nei: Don't worry, I can't use it to read your mind. Think of it a bit like a speed dial.

They follow Nitsua through the docks and towards the transit station, as they settle in for the journey to the Council building Nei turns to Nitsua.

Nei: So what do you plan on doing without your ship?

(I'm going to move this on to arriving at Coruscant, because otherwise I think we'll be here a while. If you feel that anything should've happened on the journey, we can always have flashbacks. )

Once the ship was docked Xam stood as she saw Nitsua and Kraven returning to the mess, and with a sweet smile she thanked them for the lift, before stopping Kraven with a hand on his arm and leaning in to his ear.

Xam: *whispers* Shab Kyja was on Junkka when you left.

Then she smiles sweetly before heading out of the ship with her usual swaying walk before taking her bearings and grinning to herself as she sets to finding both her own and her sponsors contacts to make a start on getting their business back to normal.

Nei looked up as the others arrived, and Xam made her exit, she had already awoken Venrii, explained what Nitsua had told her. She wasn't sure she trusted him yet, so she was keeping her options open. She had escaped from the Jedi once, repeating the feat was always possible if required.

Before Nitsua had chance to say anything Nei used the Force to wake Sara-Jane.

Nei doesn't say anything but simply rests her hand back atop Venrii's head, prepared to wake him if necessary. Observing, as most seem to have forgotten her, but knowing that not all will have.

Xam: I can assure you that my sponsors will be more than happy to pay you for each cargo load you are able to get past the Junkka lockdown.

Xam pauses as she considers the scene in front of her. Clearly one has influence with the Jedi Council, even if they're not a Jedi, though as of yet she isn't sure what to make of the fact the two kids she sent to talk to Kraven are unconscious.

Xam: However if you are not interested in such menial tasks, then all I ask is that you drop me off at port when you dock and I'll find someone else at Coruscant. Though there aren't many who can get through a Sith lockdown.
