Which is why Obi-Wan will one day be heard to say:
RECAP [for Session # 3, September 30th, 2009]
RECAP (for events of Wednesday, September 30, 2009, Session # 3)
PREVIOUSLY...
The Jedi, along with Clone Sergeant REAPER, faced off against clones intent on carrying out their ORDER 66 mandate. Reaper had unsuccessfully attempted to reason with them and await confirmation of the order. As RENN finally burned through a set of blast doors to the chamber beyond, the group quickly dispatched the remaining squad of troopers, although SILUS received a glancing blaster wound and one trooper was able to give his location and request reinforcements. Another lift was disabled, this time as a result of Reaper's killing shot to the last remaining clone of that squad.
Renn was greeted by a murder scene as he entered the security suite. The bodies of NEIMODEANS and one TRANDOSHAN were discovered, including the commander Renn had glimpsed in his psychometry attempt at the turbolifts. Apparently none of the victims had time to draw a weapon against their killer. The wounds and sabotage to nearby terminals suggested a LIGHTSABER as the murder weapon. The dark presence sensed earlier was no longer evident.
As the group tended to wounds and explored the area, the absent Jedi were contacted. Major DEN REINAR could not be hailed on any frequency, and attempting to sense him in the Force only revealed a blasted corpse surrounded by Clone Troopers and strangely inactive BATTLE DROIDS. ZERU STRILATH was contacted aboard the WINTER WIND. He related the deaths of his two wingmen and informed the group of his desperate struggle to evade their former allies. He also indicated that the DROID STARFIGHTERS had suddenly ceased all activity. Zeru agreed to rendesvous with the group for extraction if no other transport could be found. Additional troops arriving could be sensed from without the central corridors and from the levels above.
DENIMIR discoverd a false wall had been built to disguise or prevent access to the service tunnel beyond. Many of the computer terminals had swiveling bases as well.
SILUS found a long datapad indicating the passage beyond was used for moving freight and persons to a hangar located along a vast cliffside. Freight lifts along the corridor had somehow been disabled and required maintenance. A MESSAGE was found stored in the pad, indicating contact between a SITH LORD and the Neimodean commander. Renn confirmed that the symbol and sigil used within were associated with the leader of a Sith cult or dynasty. The message indicated that the Sith's agent had been sent to "reward" the Seperatists for their service and "take care of" any Jedi involvement. Records of starship traffic revealed that one ship, identified only by a numerical transponder code, had arrived a short time ago and no records of any ships departing afterward can be found. Renn also found a HANDPRINT somehow burned into one of the monitors, which was now streaming nonsensical characters and data.
As the group prepares to embark on a repulsorsled carrying freight in the hopes of reaching the hangar bay, a massive explosion rocks the corridor. Clone reinforcements have arrived and are attempting to clear the chambers. The heroes, burdened by a slow mode of transport, must now somehow escape the three SPEEDER BIKES bearing clone troopers. SILUS must successfully disable the limiter mechanism on the sled to increase its speed if the group intends to outrun their pursuers...

RECAP (for Wednesday, September 30, 2009 Session)
PREVIOUSLY...
The Jedi were dispatched along with the Grand Army of the Republic to retake Gyrkana. The latest offensive saw the group split amongst four fronts. Major DEN REINAR, commanding GAR ground assault troopers, lead a direct assault on the palace, which would hopefully keep the surrounding droid forces at bay and distract them from the efforts of his Jedi comrades. DENEMIR ANTRERES, RENN SOLARIS and SILUS KHEL descended in gunships, gaining access to the upper parapet balconies with their clone contingents. Their mission was to seek out the insurgent commanders, gather any additional intel, communiques and records pertaining to troop movements and strategies, and possibly rescue any of the royal family or parliamentary officials held captive. JORGEN REOS was dispatched with an attachment of Clone Commandos operating in night-ops armor. His directive was to infiltrate the network of tunnels and sub-levels beneath the palatial fortess, undermine and sabotage the enemy's efforts, and if possible, locate the High Command or rescue any captives held below. Both intrusion groups were provided with detonite, should the situation warrant the use of explosives. ZERU STRILATH, piloting the WINTER WIND freighter and accompanied by Jedi wingmen aboard starfighters, was to assist in sub-orbital strikes and troop transport support. If necessary he was to provide extraction for Jedi personnel.
RENN and SILUS, swinging from droplines, battled their way in with the clone troops. DENEMIR succeeded also, arriving with his own squad in a seperate gunship. During the initial fighting, SILUS encountered a maintenance droid and used FORCE PSYCHOMETRY to probe its thought programs. He discovered that it was recording the Jedi and transmitting to an unknown source. Unfortunately, Silus rashly destroyed it before he could use it to unlock the blast doors that had been sealed. During a skirmish with IG-100 MAGNAGUARDS, RENN was unable to contact DENEMIR or DEN due to communication jamming. The CLONE SERGEANT with the squad neatly dispatched one of them with one skillfully fired burst from his repeating blaster. Massive explosions both within the adjoining corridors and from the ground below made the situation seem dire. DENEMIR would later rejoin the other Jedi, but not before sustaining moderate casualties among the clones. Just as the outer balcony gave away after a starship hit the outer wall, SILUS was able to hack into the security substation and unlock the main doors leading to a central hall, although every door along their intended route seemed to open as well. The group was later attacked by gun emplacements hidden in statuary and behind secret panels. RENN and DENEMIR sensed a dark presence watching their every move from concealed cameras, which were discovered and destroyed whenever possible. Upon reaching the turbolifts, RENN was able to use his PSYCHOMETRY to deduce where a NEIMODEAN COMMANDER had regularly taken the lift. After descending to what was believed to be the command level, the heroes and their troops dispatched battle droids, droidekas and a crab droid. RENN distantly sensed great turmoil, far removed from his present location. He felt a profound sadness, but could not understand why. As the group was about to storm COMMAND HQ, the clones were issued EXECUTIVE ORDER 66 from their Clone Commander, a contingency order from SUPREME CHANCELLOR PALPATINE to destroy with impunity all Jedi in the vacinity of those receiving it in the case of a Jedi insurrection against the Republic. Clone Sergeant REAPER distinguished himself by questioning this new directive, and began aiding the Jedi in fighting off the other clones.
The battle against once-loyal Clones rages on. RENN is almost done burning his way through the blast doors to the COMMAND SUITE with his lightsaber...

It is a dark time for the Jedi. Countless battles rage across the galaxy pitting the Jedi Knights and the Clone Troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic against the relentless Seperatist droid legions. The Jedi Council has become suspicious of Chancellor Palpatine's ambitions and his growing influence over the gifted Jedi, Anakin Skywalker. Distracted by military conflicts, the Council is unable to investigate a Sith plot and uncover elusive agents of the Dark Side. Meanwhile, on the once neutral world of Gyrkana, now part of the ongoing Outer Rim Sieges, Seperatist invaders have gained control of the system. A handful of Jedi, along with their clone forces risk a desperate gambit. Facing superior numbers, they are to launch an assault on the capital building housing members of the Seperatist High Command...
