Alderaan - Love and Intrigue

With Baesal accompanying him, Galen requested to see Princess Jameela. He carried a small basket with him

Jameela was in an apartment that had been converted into a laboratory well at least enough equipment to do some science and had direct feeds to a local Panteer University. She was there sitting at a computer terminal going over ecological data for Alderaan.

Baesal was following Galen, wearing her ordinary jedi garb and also carrying a small basket

"Good morning, Princess, I hope we are not interrupting you." Galen said as they arrived.

"Just reading," she said turning to her guests. "I was surprised to find that a Jedi wanted to meet with me."

"Baesal has been looking into a few things that I thought you might offer some insight on." he explained. "It involves the kilik and an old vase."

He set the basket down in front of her.



"Just a little extra energy, before we play in the mud." he explained.

''Galen did speak highly of your intellectual pursuits'' the knight replied uncovering her own basket

Jameela is not listening and sampling the sweet treats.

"Baesal, maybe you could brief us on what you know about the vase?" he asked.

''Yes'' Baesal gets her holopad out and brings up the image of the vase ''This vase was stolen but was returned. A very interesting piece...one of three according to professor Rist. The theory is that they would depict a time where humans and killiks lived in harmony together.''

Jameela ate and listened and thens aid, “Oh yeah the Killiks, that is an eternal shame of Alderaan. Humans and killiks living together peacefully, that seems a hard truth to swallow. Why are you bringing this to me, though?”

She continued eating the sweets.

"I know you've studied history and different cultures. " Galen said. "I was wondering if you had any insight into the kilik or the initial relationship between them and humans. Baesal has been doing research and has spoken with a number of people, but there are still a lot of unknowns."

The Jedi nods following Galen's words

“The study of killiks is not hugely popular other than how to eradicate them or move them from lands others want to utilize. I know that Padawan Yil Kumos had some interesting ideas on human and killik interaction in the early history of Alderaan. Where our species worked together but it’s unclear when that relationship broke down and who was the first to change it.”

“My honest opinion is that humanity probably acted first,” she said sadly.

"Sadly, that's likely true, considering what we've seen." he nodded grimly.

"What about the vase?" he asked "Can you think of any significance these vases might have beyond the value a collector might see?"

“I would have to see them, I am not very familiar with these objects. What is going on?” she asked.

''The vase seems to belong to a set of three'' Baesal begins to answer ''They all date back to the earliest days of the colonisation and have become the center of interest for a number of people. We do not know the range of interest in these vases but some already lost their lives over the most recent object.''

She brings up the images padawan Yumos sent her

She looked them over and then took a seat and start searching through databases and said, “I am not familiar with these and the time frame is not well documented. This is very early Alderaan history, probably some of the first human colonists even before the founding of the Galactic Republic. These images seem to imply cordial relations between humans and killiks and… hrrm.”

She pulled up another image of vases and said, “Killiks are not just found on Alderaan they have traveled to other worlds, and these were found on another world. You said they were a set?”

"Three of them." Galen nodded.

“Some cultures see three as a sacred number, that could mean something. Killiks communicate through sound some audible many subsonic, out of human hearing ranges at least, maybe they resonate with that, it would not be the first time,” she said honestly.
