Obi-Wan Continues Across the Veranda

STAR WARS EPISODE II: Attack of the Clones 00:36:06 - 00:36:07

Theory on where we may see Hondo Ohnaka in the live action universe...

Kenobi took place 9BBY, which is before Star Wars: Rebels. Rebels is set somewhere between 5BBY and 1BBY. Tala was quoted in Kenobi as saying:

"They're on Florrum. The network runs out of the Sertar Sector. They use a salvage business to launder goods, render new identities… And fly the Jedi out."

I do not think she was lying here, at least not entirely. Here's why:

That was not him bullshitting the Spectres. He was telling the truth. My first thought was oh, sure, yeah, and you and Kenobi are besssssst friends, but this line in Kenobi makes me think that the line from Hondo in Rebels is connected. This is before he set up his smuggling business on Batuu, and we know even after General Grievous attacked, Hondo still tried to repair his base of operations. It was the Jedi who rescued him from Maul and Savage. It was the Jedi who helped him escape from Dooku.

"While on his own, Ohnaka became an ally of the fugitive Jedi Ezra Bridger and the Spectres, an insurgent cell rebelling against the Empire. Ohnaka frequently aided Bridger and the Spectres in their fight against the Empire, culminating in his participation in the liberation of Bridger's homeworld, the planet Lothal. By the time of the war between the Resistance and the Neo-Imperial First Order, Ohnaka had rebuilt his reputation and formed Ohnaka Transport Solutions, a shipping company based in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu that was used as a front for a successful smuggling racket. When the Resistance briefly established a base on Batuu, Ohnaka provided them aid as they recuperated following the Battle of Crait." - Wookieepedia (Hondo's time in Star Wars: Rebels)"

You know, Ezra. The Jedi that disappeared along with Thrawn. The Jedi that Ahsoka is desperately searching for. If Hera is supposed to make an appearance, and Sabine is supposed to be there too, why not Hondo Ohnaka?!?!

He cared about Ezra! He said so himself!

Him and Ahsoka also go way, way back! Well, maybe they didn't always have the best relationship, though people can change!

My prediction is Hondo Ohnaka makes an appearance in Ahsoka - 100%!!!

I am such a damn nerd.

[a-big-hat]

I ain’t stressed.

*Bane says it in the least relaxed way possible, and somehow @one-desperate-duros is even more surly than he is. Maybe the medic has a point about interactive pheromone responses, or whatever, but that doesn’t mean he needs a damn shot of nothing.

But Suurgav’s mood isn’t improving, and that wouldn’t be good for bacta immersion, Bane knows that much. And Bane has plenty of his buried demons that might choose to resurface while he’s in the tank. He doesn’t want his own reactions to make things worse for Suurgav, especially with them both in there together.

The other Duros tightening his arms around Bane, and the small tremble in them, has Bane making his decision*

Fine. Do yer thing to me first.

*If it is some last trick meant to incapacitate them, Bane plans to fight to stay conscious long enough to eliminate the threat, and Suurgav can get away. Find @man-with-a-big-cape wherever he’s gone.

Bane watches the @staycalmandhugaclone, unblinking, and he reaches over to one of his gauntlets set to the side. He picks it up and taps a button, opening the channel directly to his droid*

Todo, I want ye to start up the Justifier and follow after Calrissian’s ship. If ye don’ hear from me in two days, go to our rendezvous point for the Sertar sector. Ye know what to do from there.

*He doesn’t wait for a response from @techno-service-droid before disconnecting, assured that if things went sideways, he’d taken the proper steps to ensure the medic regrets every laying eyes on them.

Bane returns his attention to Suurgav, noting the way he’s almost hiding against him*

I’m gonna be right here the whole time. Not goin’ anywhere, all right? Yer stuck with me a while longer. Prob’ly gonna get sick of me real soon.

*He says it almost fondly, his hands now on Suurgav’s back as he tries to comfort the best way he knows how*

[techno-service-droid]

*Todo considers @crazytookalady for a moment. It wouldn’t be very nice to leave her stranded, though Bane wouldn’t be happy letting a stranger onboard.

Ah, but she isn’t a stranger! She knows Mr. Bane! Or at least, she’s spoken to him*

“I would offer to give you a look over as payment, but your owner doesn't seem the type to allow that without his say so.”

*Todo scoffs*

Mr. Bane and I are partners. I am his trusted confidant. His most dependable--

*He cuts off as a private message transmits into Todo’s communication receiver, directly from Bane himself.

Todo, I want ye to start up the Justifier and follow after Calrissian’s ship. If ye don’ hear from me in two days, go to our rendezvous point for the Sertar sector. Ye know what to do from there.

The droid listens to it on his internal comm, then swivels his head around to look at the Lady Luck as it begins to power up its engines*

Oh, dear! I must depart!

*He starts up his boosters and starts for the Justifier, but then he pauses and half-turns toward the mystery woman*

I do not know if Mr. Bane would like you on his ship, but he has taught me on the benefits of good deals. And I do believe your offer is beneficial to us both.

Yes, I will provide transportation to you in exchange for a routine maintenance inspection of myself. I think that will suffice.

*Todo flies toward the ramp, calling over his shoulder*

You should hurry! We are leaving, immediately!

*Todo neglects to say where exactly they are going, or why, but he has no time to delay as he rushes up the ramp and to the cockpit. With some difficulty he moves the stool that Bane had purchased for him so he could reach the Justifier’s controls, and once he is situated at the helm, he makes sure his guest is aboard before sealing all hatches.

As he lifts the ship from the ground, he waits for his new companion to approach before speaking again*

Oh, my, I nearly forgot. Since we are going to be traveling together, I should ask-- What is your name?

[padawanprotege]

Hi everyone. After stumbling upon a beautifully chaotic Jedi Oc I became inspired to write a fic about my own Oc making a new friend. After many early morning and late night discussions, I finally came up with a little something on how Jedi Knight Ayelet Ebele and Master Tiin Orat first met.

Tiin Orat belongs solely to the lovely @queenofbeskar​, and this fic is dedicated to them for inspiring me.

Into the Forests of Arorua

Arorua was an inconsequential planet in the Sertar Sector. Being a back-water world in the Outer Rim regions, meant that the Galactic republic often overlooked the lone planet. However recent reports of regular separatist movement on the forest-covered world had sparked immediate action. Upon investigation, a small stealth team confirmed the presence of separatist battle droids, along with the location of a new droid factory still under construction.

Once the news had reached the Jedi council, the members of the High Council wasted no time and immediately summoned the 822nd Battalion General, Jedi Master Tiin Orat along with the Young Jedi Knight Ayelet Ebele.

“Scouts have confirmed the presence of a separatist base on Arorua. We can waste no time in dealing with this threat. If the separatists are given the chance to complete the construction of their new droid factory, they could easily seize control of the surrounding systems.” Mace Windu announced, comfortably slouched back in his chair as he addressed the two Jedi standing before him. Around him sat many empty chairs, some filled with the blue projection of a hologram but most lay dormant. A telling sign of the growing demands of the war.

“Suit you well this mission will, Master Orat.” Master Yoda chimed in, pointing to the Zabrak hybrid with the end of his gimer stick before turning it back down towards the floor and returning to silence. His cryptic words revealing no clear answer for Tiin to decipher.

Returning the conversation back to himself, Mace continued “Master Tiin, your battalion will be deployed immediately to Arorua to regain control of the system. Knight Ebele, you are to accompany the 822nd with your own battalion and aid them in any way. The destruction of this factory is vital for our successful occupation in the outer rim.”

Turning his attention away from the tall Jedi Master that stood in the centre of the high council chambers to the smaller figure standing slight behind Tiin's right shoulder, Mace's gaze focused on Ayelet. “This is your first mission since being knighted Ebele, we will be watching your performance closely.”

“Watch and listen you must, learn much from Master Orat you will, young one.” Yoda chimed in once again, his eyes also focusing on the young knight, however, the hint of a smile on the old masters face reassured Ayelet that although she was young and less experienced than the Jedi that surrounded her, she was prepared to face whatever this battle would bring.

At the conclusion of the debriefing, both Tiin and Ayelet bowed deeply to few Jedi Masters present in the council chambers before walking out into one of the adjoined hallways. “Arorua. I haven’t had the chance to visit it yet. It’s quiet far out in the outer-rim regions. Very beautiful from what I’ve researched. Do you know anything of it Knight Ebele?” Master Orat asked as they walked in sync past the large windows of the corridor, her distinct man’doa accent lacing her words in a tone that Ayelet was so used to hearing from the clones that she was slightly taken aback by the sound of it in Tiin’s voice.

Ayelet took a moment to consider her answer, as a padawan she'd spent much of her time studying lost languages and forgotten civilisations with her Master so knew much about the ancient planet. She decided to keep her answer short and not allow her excitement about travelling to the remote forest world turn into a history lesson.

“It’s a world covered in a dense forest. Centuries ago, there were cities and temples scattered across the planet, but over time the woodlands consumed them in their roots and drove most of the population to neighbouring systems.” Ayelet couldn't help the small smile that grew on her face as she spoke of the forest-covered world. Nature had always been her biggest strength in the force. As a youngling, she would often venture away from her crèche mates to spend time in the temple gardens, and once she was taken on as a padawan and encouraged by her master to pursue her interest in botany, she found her true passion.

Ayelet often thought of what her life would be like when she completed her trials of knighthood and could peruse her passions. She dreamed that she would travel to exotic worlds, studying the different flora that inhabited the far reaches of space and tending to the gardens in the Jedi Temple whenever she wasn't on leave. At no point in her apprenticeship had she expected her knighthood to result in her becoming a soldier in a war she didn't understand.

Ayelet's attention was brought back to the present at the sound of Tiin's naturally loud voice. “A jungle adventure? Sounds like something out of a holo-film." Master Orat jested as she grinned cheerfully down at the young right beside her. Although Ayelet couldn't see her eyes behind the mask the Zabrak wore, she could tell that Tiin was also smiling with her eyes.

'Perhaps this mission won't be so difficult without Master Aziza’s help if I've got Master Tiin to keep me company.' Ayelet silently mused while craning her neck back to match Tiin's eye-line before replying with a humoured smile on her lips, “Yes, I suppose it does sound like that.”

As they continued down the hallway to the nearby hanger bay, the two Jedi continued speaking, the conversation slowly turning into one reminiscent of old friends as they began to grow more comfortable in each other’s company.

'Yes. I think this mission will go quite well.' Ayelet silent thought to herself as she followed Master Orat into a waiting speeder. She couldn't deny that she missed her master's familiar and comforting presence, but Ayelet could sense a similar nurturing presence residing within Tiin, and hoped that during their time spent together on this campaign a new friendship could be formed.

----------

Ayelet would normally delight at the opportunity to immerse herself in the natural world if it weren’t for the suffocating darkness that consumed the forest of Arorua.

After stepping off the gunship and into the forest she felt herself lose one sense while her others heightened in the unfamiliar environment. It was disorientating to be almost blinded but given the ears of a wolf. Even the soft susurration of the branches felt heavy in her ears. The blackness surrounding them nurtured a sense of claustrophobia even though the woodland stretched unbroken for miles.

As her clone troopers unloaded the gunships and prepared themselves for the battle ahead, Ayelet took the moment to stow away amongst the thick woodlands. Wandering a few steps away from the temporary camp they had established, Ayelet found herself staring upon the massive truck of an aphor tree. The young knight could feel the spirit of the old tree and the wisdom that it carried.

Approaching tree, Ayelet reached out a gloved hand and placed it softly upon the trunk. Sparing a glance back towards the now fully lit campsite the clones had constructed, Ayelet convinced herself she’d have enough time to meditate before General Orat arrived to discuss the assault plan.

Gently, Ayelet boosted herself up to one of the high branches on the old aphor tree to stare out into the dark woodlands ahead. The forest was ancient. The trees thick and old. It might once have been filled with bird-song and animals that roamed. But now long centuries had pasted since its former glory.

Ayelet felt her expression soften into a small smile at the familiar sensation of sunlight dancing across her face through the leaves above. Settling herself on the branch, Ayelet crossed her legs and placed both hands on the sturdy limb beneath her. Taking slow and deep breaths Ayelet allowed herself to open up to the natural world around her, letting her own spirit intertwine with the ancient spirit of the forest. Listening closely, Ayelet could hear the spirits of the forest whispering around her, their hushed words of wisdom barely reaching her ears.

A sudden disturbance in the force shock Ayelet from her tranquil state, shaking her physically back to the real world. She felt the force ripple through the tree beneath her. No, that wasn’t the force shaking. It was the tree she was in shaking. She’d become so entwined with ancient trees lifeforce that she had felt the strike to the tree as though it was to her own body.

However, Ayelet came to her senses to slowly, noticing too late that the world around her was slowly slipping upwards as her body sluggishly tipped backwards off the branch. Suddenly aware of her compromised balance, Ayelet tried to quickly pull herself back up onto the strong tree limb, but the reaction came too late. Ayelet felt her fingers lose their loose grip on the branch, causing a sense of panic to flood her as she frantically looking around her.

Perhaps there was another lower branch she could cling to to break her fall or a hanging vine nearby that she could latch onto. All Ayelet achieved as she fell gracelessly out of the tree was flailing her arms around frantically as though she would grow wings to stop her crashing into the rapidly approaching forest floor.

At the last possible moment, Ayelet called upon the force for help, wrapping its loyal embrace around her. Although she hadn’t experienced the full damage of the fall, her body ached as she made contact with the rough terrain. She laid there, completely motionless for a moment, focusing on inhaling serenity and exhaling her discomfort.

Slowly lifting her head to see what had caused the tree to shake, she had expected to see one of the AT-RT’s clumsily crashed into the trunk. To her surprise, all that greeted her was the sight of a tall figure carefully prying their large pink horns from the trunk of the tree, then proceed to gingerly rub the area atop her head. Ayelet tried to convince herself that perhaps she had hit her head harder than she’d originally thought and was simply hallucinating, that would explain the scene before her.

Sealing her eyes shut tightly and shaking her head, Ayelet slowly raising herself to sit on her knees, not fully trusting her legs to support her weight so soon after falling. Ayelet took a moment to steady her thoughts and bridle her emotions before reopening her eyes. To her disbelief, the horned figure was still there and was closing the space between them.

“Ayelet, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.” Tiin’s voice was loud enough to have started the young knight in the quiet of the forest if not for the man’doa accent and the nurturing tone in the voice. Ayelet felt herself begin to smile as she watched the Zabrak hybrid kneel before her. Even when the Master knelt down to match Ayelet’s height, she still had to crane her neck back to view the Jedi Master’s face.

“That was quite a fall, must have hurt like a shabuir.” Tiin continued as she gently placed a hand under Ayelet’s jaw and moved her head around to assess the damage, pausing for a moment when she saw the slit on the knight’s chin. Ayelet didn’t fully understand what Tiin had said but recognised the tone to know she was implying that the fall must have hurt a lot in a very colourful way.

Without warning Tiin wrapping one of her large arms behind Ayelet’s back and helped her to her feet, holding her close to her large frame in a half embrace to help support her. The sudden contact unsettled Ayelet, the feeling of someone, particularly someone that she had only spent a few days with, so close to her made her slightly tense in surprise.

But she never uttered a word in protest as the Zabrak guided her back towards the encampment. Ayelet could sense the nurturing care radiating off Tiin as they walked, like a crèche master tending to one of her charges, and began to relax into the Master's gentle hold around her.

As they slowly crossed the camp, Ayelet could hardly hear the sound of herself moving, Tiin’s loud footsteps drowning out the sound of her own light footsteps beside her. Ayelet recognised the familiar sight of the medic tent, under normal circumstances, Ayelet would be the one guiding one of her troopers into the make-shift hospital.

“Perhaps you should stay with me. Get your head checked out. You hit that tree pretty hard.” Ayelet proposed as they made their way into the shelter of the tent, a playful smile present on her lips as she continued while pointing to the top of her head. “You’ve probably left a few holes in that tree.”

Ayelet hadn’t prepared herself for Tiin’s reply as she listened to the Jedi Master laugh in response to her words. The laugh was loud, like her voice, and quickly drew the eyes of everyone inside the tent onto them, but Ayelet could feel that the laugh was genuine, so simply smiled along as the medics stared across at the two Jedi.

Mecanisme de distribuție a automatelor cu vânzare

(O mașină automată cu monedă în întregime mecanică la un hotel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_vending_machine.jpg)

După ce plata a fost făcută, un produs dintr-un automat cu vânzare poate deveni disponibil prin:

eliberarea sa de către mașină, astfel încât să cadă într-un compartiment deschis în partea de jos sau într-o ceașcă sau pahar, pus acolo de client sau de către mașină, sau

deblocarea unei uși, sertar sau rotirea unui sector.

(O mașină de bilete care funcționează prin rotirea unei manivele, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SCTD_TIM_ticket_machine.jpg)

Unele produse trebuie să fie pregătite pentru a deveni disponibile. De exemplu, biletele sunt tipărite sau magnetizate la fața locului, iar cafeaua este proaspăt preparată. Una dintre cele mai comune forme ale automatului de vânzare, automatul de gustări, utilizează adesea o bobină metalică, care atunci când este comandată se rotește pentru a elibera produsul.

(Mașini de bilete cu buton și ecran tactil din Germania, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bahnautomat.jpg)

Exemplul principal al unui automat care oferă acces la toate mărfurile după ce s-a plătit pentru un produs este un automat de distribuire a ziarelor (denumit și casetă de vânzare) aflat în special în S.U.A. și Canada. Acesta conține un pachet de ziare identice. După o vânzare, ușa revine automat într-o poziție blocată. Un client ar putea să deschidă cutia și să ia toate ziarele sau, în beneficiul altor clienți, să lase ziarele în afara casetei, să întoarcă încet ușa într-o poziție deblocată sau să blocheze ușa să nu se mai închidă complet, dar toate aceste eludări sunt în general descurajate, uneori printr-o clemă de siguranță. Succesul unor astfel de mașini se bazează pe presupunerea că clientul va fi cinstit (de aici și numele de “casetă de onoare”) și are nevoie doar de un singur exemplar.
