Vonta had been gone for a while now. She walked about and was assualted by members of the varies force sects that she had met.
A group of 5 young Teepo Palidins come up to her thanking the force that she was well and that they were still in her dept and that they were staying on with her at the new academy until she stated other wise.
Jensaarai Defenders come up to her garbed in the Animal Cortosis armor to tell her how glad that they are that she has returned safely.
Students from the original class of Alderaanian Guards from the Guard training academy welcome her home.
Several of her old guard students come from all around her when she inquires how they knew that she was in the vicinity they state that they are trained in the Teras Kasi now. They actually sensed her coming near.
So much was happening around her. She now had a large number of Force users supporting her cuase, the Alderaanian Guard was being trained in the art of the Teras Kasi, and there was an academy down on Almania that was not there before she dissappeared.
From around a corner there was a loud beeping and the a sound of motors straining.
An R5 unit come reving around a corner nearly falling on it's side becuae it is simply traveling too fast.
"Weee-Bo-dee!!!" The R5 unit whins out loud. Many in the immediate vicinity cover their ears becuase the excited pitch is so high that it is actually painful to hear.
"Cyper?!!!" Vonta reconizing her age old companion.
The droid skids to a screeching halt. A muffled cry comes from inside the droids casing.
"shes here?" comes a barely auditable voice.
Cypher answers with a beep of 'Of course she is here!"
The droid brings its third wheel in and rocks back and forth excitedly. The muffled voice continues from within the droids caseing.
"Well let me out of her you Frilling astro-unit!" R5 rattles of a series of beeping responses, "I do not care if you do not like my language you out dated piece of rubbish I am not sitting in here while you get to speak with her, you blimy..."
Vonta places her hand on R5's head and the red and white R5 droid calms in an instant, though the protests continue from inside his casing. She gives the droid one look of reprimand and with a small whin the droid relents and opens a door on his outer frame.
The voice becomes clearly audit able now with out metal standing between it and open air.
"And further more..." The voice stops mid sentence, "Oh..."
The voice stops ranting and sounds a bit foolish when he sees that the door was open while he was still ranting.
Out of the door floats a small box. No more then 4 by 4 inches in size. The positronic Droid A1's visual recepter focused in and out on vonta's face as if confirming a fact that she was in fact here before him.
"Commander it is you!" the little droid said aloud. He started floating from side to side, "Sir the odds of you actually being found were astronomical, Perhaps 123,020,232 to one. And the odds of you just appearing on the Drewwa Homebase well..."
Cypher beeps in another interuption, "Yes I know that you never gave up on her. But you are not a very logical unit are you."
R5 was about to retort when vonta steps in between them, "It is good to see the two of you as well. The pair of you seem to be getting along as grandly as ever."
She sometimes looked at the pairing as a very odd couple. A1 had an advanced artificial inteligence that made him so inteligent that he is virtually his own being. Positronic droids are great hacker droids but prone to boughts of independence that takes them off of the missions that they are on. To solve the problem she raised them as induviduals so that they knew of their importance on a mission. They were performing their jobs and did not mess around becuase they had a sense of importance to their work.
"A1 I need an intelligence report on the Guard activities. Can you help me?" She smiles at the droid. Although the pair fought their affection for her made them a good team most of the time.
"Of course sir. Director Sabreen has Maintained your security clearance. If you go to the Lowwer levels you can access the entirety of the Guard networks." He answers.
"Good. Shall we get going then?" She asks.
"Of course sir." He floats back into his compartment he was silent for but a moment.
Vonta turns back to him, "OK you can ride with me for a time."
The droid floats out, "Why thank you sir."
Vonta plucks him from out of mid air and places him next to her belt buckle the droid locks him self inplace with several clamps in the rear of his unit. The droid was her personel unit. That made hacking a breeze.
The three head down to the guards under ground elevator.
* * *
The elevator takes them down several levels but stops short of the level that vonta expected to go. The panel asks for additional Identifition. Vonta enters her command codes and gives a DNA scan. The doors except her and she exits. Two armed gaurds great her. Both are adorned in White royal guard uniforms. The only strange thing was the size. The pair were not human so the Uniforms were specially designed to fit each of them. One was tall and broad shouldered. The other was an Insectoid. The first was a wookie the second a Givin.
The Diversity of the Guard never failed to amaze her.
She stoped dead in her tracks not believing what she was seeing.
Cypher inquired in beeps and tweets as to what was the matter.
"A hyper portal?" She questioned out loud.
A1 chimes in, "Yes ma'am the guard had developed the Hyper Portal Tech since the fall of the Alliance. But this is not your original Hyper portal. I do not know the specifics but this is the Mark II version. Some how it is supposed to be better then the original"
Vonta slowly approchs with R5 in tow. The operator asks for her command codes for comfirmation. Upon confirmation the Portal Operator activates the gate.
"The portal well take you to the lowwer levels 4 miles down sir." The opperator was a female bothan.
"Yes thank you." Vonta made a salute that was returned immediatly. She passes through the 3 meter portal with R5 at her side. One the other side she enters a small room. From there she exits through several more armored doors. On the other side she enters the cavernous expanses of the under ground base. The cieliing was high above and She could barely make out the walls. they were so far away. A transport unit came to meet her. He asks her for a destination she give him a general location for a command terminal.
* * *
She enters into a breifing room. The guard was just as good as ever. Using the Hyper portal for transport below was ingenious. It made it all the more difficult for the base to be penitrated by a would-be spy.
She finds a terminal and enters in her old codes. She had the highest clearance next to Trespe or Sabreen.
She Poured over the data base for the next several hours.
The guard had expanded all of their operations they founded several new colleges on Almania along with programs to allow for the people to live peacefully on Almania. The guard were following the codes of old Alderaan by making a peaceful haven here. The populace was ingrained within the guard itself. Most of the guard came from on planet. Going through rigorous training. The back round checks were even more thorough. Already the Guard had trapped mutiple induviduals from other governments trying to gain intrance and infiltrate the guard.
It took years of confirmation to gain intrance to the academy. There were several thousand assigned to the task of looking over all of the applicants. There was virtually no way for an insurgent to enter the guard.
Several files were on spy missions at the home worlds of many of the races that made up the guard. Data came in from all venues in the universe. She glimpsed through some files on the VC that followed their smuggling activitys as well as their legit bussiness. The Almanian system was regularly trading with Coorperate sector planets. Allowing the Guard and Order to avoid concerns in the core. Further reading came on the activities of the New Order, the Hapans, and the GC. There was alot to be found here since her dissappearance.
A small file caught her attention. It was a news file on a Gungan. One Sorra Bing.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that she had released evidence that showed the genicide that vonta had been trying to prevent before her obduction. She reviewed the Holo-vids. They had been released to the general public. Proven and tested that they were genuine.
::At least they did not die with out acknowledgment. :: She thinks sadly too herself.
MOving on she finds further reading in classified projects.

The Horn Files
Of all things.
Glancing through them she was in for another shock. these were files on ship designs. Designs that she herself had made but these were taken much farther than she had gotten.
She read on further.
These craft were made for her new order. Designed specifically to complement for user abilities.
First file contained a carrier support cruiser.
The ship was fast and carried her Modular fighters.
The original fighter was not that strong but it could be changed with a module based on the mission perameters. The variation was invaluble to Jedi when they were facing ever changing missions. They needed all kinds of different craft for varied occasions.
She looked at the modules-
1)Bomber enhancment
2)Shield and aquatic unit
3) cloak unit
The cloak unit was the one that she looks into in detail.
It uses the imperial force cloak. The file stating that the ship using the Tie phantoms cloak shield to become indetectable. All cruisers in the Horn files have cloak capability.
She is intriqued. Further on she looks on.
The cloak module, Support cruiser, and Training frigate are all included with the cloak tech.
She looks into the training vessel.
"It is completed?" She states in disbelief.
The Training frigate is a ship that is strictly a training and exploration craft. When she dreamed it up she was looking into a ship that could be a place to further the training students yet allow for the possibility to explore the galactic spanses for more lost force sects. The elegant ship fufilled her requirments.
Currently there were 2 of the frigates and four support units along with numerous modular units.
She found another file that worried her more then any of the others. The Krath had been continuing to wage a terrorist compain successfully in all corners of the universe.
The threat was still far to real there.
She winces remembering her encounters with the force entities.
There was much more to do in the universe.
