Leaving Omar behind the Light of Reason heads towards Rigelia, which is the closest civilized Republic system from Omar. Still damaged, but now more or less functional, the ship still has a defective primary hyperdrive and the subspace communicator array is also offline. Reaching Rigelia is key if word of the Separatist plans and Sith involvement is to be sent back to the Jedi Order and the Republic Senate.

While underway Padawan Janna Deshler has several Force visions of Oona Dio. The Master is alive, but in captivity. With the Force as her guide Janna is able to point out the world of Consovor as the place where the Master is held. Consovor is a surveyed world, but no records exist of it ever having been settled. Not of any official settlements anyway.

As the Light lands on Consovor E’tan embarks on a little adventure of his own – taking the Oracle with him he departs with one of the utility speeders. He finds the perfect spot to settle down and hide – unfortunately the Separatists have also found this the perfect spot for their hidden base. The speeder is shot to pieces with the Oracle still aboard and E’tan is captured and taken down into the mountain…

Leaving a skeleton force to defend the Light (with orders to flee if things go badly) the remaining Jedi and Clone Troopers follow Janna’s lead and infiltrate the Separatist base. E Leet encounters the Oracle. She got of the speeder before it blew up. She conveniently points out a hidden entrance. E Leet leads a team into the mountain base and manages to free both Master Dio and E’tan – and the missing Force-Sensitive children. Together they make good their escape – only to find that Darth Tempos has counterattacked and driven away the rest of the Republican forces!

Fearing the worst Master Dio and her team race back to the Light. Fortunately the ship is safe – either the Sith does not know its location or she doesn’t have the resources to mount an attack. Taking stock of the situation it becomes clear that things are grim – another all-out attack on the base is out of the question. With only a platoon of Troopers there is no way such an attack can succeed. And more importantly – word must be brought back to the Republic, and the children and the Orcale must be taken to Coruscant.

Dio can sense that her Padawan is alive and in pain; realizing full well that it is likely a trap she nevertheless decides to try and save her. Acting on sage advice from E’tan Master Dio dispatches the ship to go to Rigelian – while she and her two apprentices, E’tan and E Leet, remain behind. Perhaps sending the ship away will even distract Darth Tempos from their true intent…or maybe not.

Heading back towards the Separatist base they find signs of battle. Several dead clones – and the dead body of Navik Nix. From now on E’tan will carry his lightsaber (his own now being in the possession of Darth Tempos). They also find Tito Jax, badly injured but alive. After resting the night and receiving such Force healing as can be mustered they small group continues the next day.

After ascending the mountain Tito reveals himself to draw the defenders out. The rest of the Jedi quickly deal with the gun turrets and the droids sent up to face them. Then they quickly take the turbolift down to the main hall and stage a surprise assault on disorganized droid forces. Now they must find Darth Tempos and free Janna!

The Jedi now (more or less involuntary) pursue a different path – the wounded Jax guards the exit, E’tan goes looking for the droid control center, E Leet searches for Janna, while Oona heads towards a disturbance in the force – Darth Tempos. With the Sith out of the equation Oona figures her apprentices will be capable of both dealing with droids and freeing Janna.

E Leet’s rescue goes rather poorly; he isn’t able to locate Janna. E’tan has no luck either, getting entangled in a mass of droids, including one very big and nasty spider droid. But he is determined if nothing else, eventually forcing his way into the control center. Unfortunately disabling the droids isn’t quite that easy and E’tan is forced to go look for another solution to the problem. He descends by turbolift down to the magma lake that provides the base with power, then proceeds to sabotage the shielding protecting the power generating equipment.

Oona finally manages to confront Darth Tempos; in cavern with a view to the lave lake far below. She is given a choice – see her apprentice fall to a fiery death, or give herself up. Oona need not make up her mind; her other apprentices – E leet, E’tan and Jax – snatch Janna away. Next is an epic clash of sabers. The apprentices are way out of their league, but working with their master they finally overwhelm Tempos – SHE is the one that eventually fall into the fiery lake below.

Getting out quickly now has top priority. E’tan’s sabotage has overloaded the base generators and it’s about ready to blow. They get out in the nick of time – the Light of Reason is waiting for them and they blast away just as the hidden base goes up in flames behind them. With their cargo of force-sensitive children and an Oracle they continue towards Rigelia.
