[We're actually still in hyperspace. :p]

Roc moves over to one of the terminals used for encrypted broadcasts, and calls up his master, Sora Bulq. In a few minutes, he answers, looking a little sleepy. "Roc. What happened? You look distressed..." He mumbles. Behind him, Roc can see, is darkness. It must be night on Coruscant.
"Sorry to wake you so late, master, but... I've been having... Strange... Dreams... Lately. Emotions too, now that I think about it." Roc says, his head cast down.
"What? Tell me more, Zar'roc. Start from the beginning." He says, looking a little more alert now.
"In my trials, I... Had to face a Sith Lord. Malgus. He... Promised me power beyond my wildest dreams, and he promised to make me the most powerful Force user the galaxy has ever seen. I told him no, of course, and then we fought. After that, I defeated him, ans he told me to kill him. Again, I said no, because I didn't seem illusions a threat to the galaxy. Then I got my crystal. But tonight... Tonight I had another dream about Malgus. And this time, I.... I blasted him with lightning..." Roc says, unable to meet his master's eyes.
"Roc. Look at me." Master Sora says.
Roc hesitantly casts his eyes upwards.
"Roc, listen to me. This is something we have to discuss in private. Just stay in one piece till you get to Coruscant, alright? I know you can do it." He says, smiling.
Roc blinks and nods, before saying goodbye and reaching forward to disconnect the call. Then, he sits back in the chair with a sigh. This... Was unexpected... He sighs again and gets up, heading to his room once more.

(Welp, nvm then XD)

Tyroc was there, reading a book. He looks up, smiling softly at Roc, before returning to his book. He wouldn't question it. "Are you feeling better?" he asks, still concerned for his friend.

"A little." He mutters, sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. "Master said I should get back to Coruscant first. And then we're going to have a proper talk..." He murmurs.

Tyroc puts the book aside, moving over and placing a comforting hand on his shoulder "I know this seems like a big deal, but you need to remember that you're not alone. Me and Brenna will gladly help you."

"Yeah I know. It's just... It's a pain... But I suppose I shouldn't worry much. Master Bulq didn't seem very worried..." Roc says, placing his hand on Tyroc's.

The Cathar nods, before pulling Roc into a gentle hug, patting his back before letting go "Just do your best to relax, and take it easy. I am sure Shiva will guide you."

"Yeah. Yeah. I hope so..." He mutters, accepting the hug before Tyroc lets go. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, Roc gets up to walk to the door, and opens it. Brenna steps in, rubbing her eyes. "What the heck is going on? You guys are making a lot of noise!" She mumbles irritatedly and sleepily.
"Ah... I was having... Trouble... Sleeping." Roc mutters.
"Trouble? Is something the matter?" She asks.
Roc remains silent, unsure of whether to answer.
"Oookay. Looks like I'm not getting an answer out of mister strong and silent here. Tyroc?" She says, tilting her body to the side and looking at Tyroc with a raised eyebrow.

"He's been having nightmares." Tyroc states, before standing and walking over, stepping between the two "I've been listening to him about it and offering my advice. I will help him try and fall back a sleep, and before you ask, yes he has talked to his Master about it. Now, go back to sleep. I will take care of it." He states firmly, not making a single hiccup before bowing his head politely, closing the door.

"Wait Wha-?" Is all Brenna manages to get out before he shuts the door in her face.

"Wow. Rude much? She just wanted to help!" Roc says, chuckling.

"She also needs to sleep as well. And so do you. The both of you look tired, and I also do not wish to be kept awake for longer than I have to." With that, the Cathar ushers Roc into bed, throwing the covers over him.

"Right. Right. Yeah..." He mutters, letting Tyroc push him into the bed. "Thanks..." He mutters before he falls asleep into a dreamless sleep.

The other male sighs, looking at his friend's form, gently brushing his finger's over the other's brow before he himself goes to sleep, falling into an empty void of darkness.

The next morning, or whatever would be considered morning in hyperspace, Roc wakes up with a yawn. He rolls out of bed and looks back at Tyroc. Poor guy had had his rest disturbed all night...
He stands and stretches, popping a few bones in his back, before rolling his neck. Well... They'd be reaching Coruscant in an hour or so. Least he could do was freshen up. He walks to the bathroom, and shuts the door before washing his face.

Tyroc actually slept in, and was still asleep by the time Roc finished up. He looked so peaceful, and it was hard to try and disturb him... but he needed to be ready. Besides, he was sure to forgive the other; he seemed like the type that would appreciate being ready.

Roc walks out of the bathroom and glances at Tyroc. Hmm... Let the poor guy sleep. He walks out of the room and towards the bridge, where he sees Master Kalidor, who turns his head to greet him. "Roc. Good morning." He says, and Roc detects an undercurrent of slight uneasiness in his voice. "Good morning." He mutters. "Sleep well?" He asks. ".... More or less." Roc says after a while. "I see. We'll be at Coruscant in an hour." He says. Roc nods. "Alright... I guess I'll go grab some breakfast..." He mutters, walking out to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

Eventually, the Cathar walks out, softly yawning and rubbing his eyes "Good morning..." He states quietly, heading over to get some food. He looks both awake and asleep at the same time, yawning constantly as he grabbed himself a plate of panna cakes and carbosyrup. He sits down at a table, eating and slowly waking up properly, beginning to look more revitalised the more he ate.

"Morning." Roc mutters, meeting his eyes.
He's eating bantha bacon and a stack of omelets. Wow. It looked like there were about five omelettes in there...

Soon, Tyroc finishes and sighs in content, licking his lips before returning his plate to be washed, stretching and popping his back with a soft grunt.

Roc's eyes follow him around, for lack of anything else to focus on. "Sooo... Where do you think-?"
"Morning!" Brenna says loudly as she walks in, grinning.
"Why the hell are you so chipper in the bloody morning...?" Roc groans.
"Because I love mornings! They're awesome!" She says, twirling in a circle.
Roc groans again and facepalms.

"Well, Titania seems to represent you well enough. But could you please keep it down? I'm still a little tired." He states, politely begging her to stop, managing to pull off an adorable begging kitty face.

"Jeez. You guys are buzzkills!" She says, huffing.
"Oh shut it. Morning is a time to be sleepy. Not the happiest person in... Hyperspace. We'll be reaching Coruscant in an hour, by the way." Roc says.
"Oh great! I can't wait to meet Barriss!" She says, clapping.
"Who's Barriss?" Roc asks.
"Oh, one of my seniors. She's so nice!" She says.
"Uh huh..." Roc says, not really paying attention.

Tyroc sighs, before walking towards the door "I will be in the bedroom meditating." He states, sighing once he was out of sight. He was not in the right mindset to deal with this right now. He sits on the bed once he enters the room, crossing his legs and relaxing, letting his mind wander.

Roc watches him go, then looks at Brenna. "I think I might have disturbed the poor guy all night..." He mutters.
"Speaking of which... What was all that ruckus last night?" She asks, sitting in a chair across him, and leaning closer. A part of his mind notices that she's rather cute, with wavy brown hair and bright, lively green eyes. She has a slightly upturned nose, and full, kissable lips.
"I.... Had a dream. Malgus." He mutters.
Brenna's eyes widen. "Oh crap."
"Oh crap indeed..." Roc says, folding his arms.
"Look, Roc. If you ever need us, we'll be here for you, okay?" She says kindly, reaching out to touch his shoulder. His brain sends an electric tingle through his body, and he puts his hand up to her soft one. "Thanks..." He murmurs.

As his mind slips into the meditative trance, Tyroc has a vision. It's a zabrak, that much he can tell, with a lightsaber staff, fighting him and Brenna. He couldn't see his face properly, as the image was quite blurry, but he did see the Zabrak twist amazingly fast and stab Brenna through the stomach when she raises her blade to block a feint.

Tyroc gasped, but he couldn't get out of the trance. He watched Brenna fall to the floor, as the Zabrak turned to him, approaching. He fought, and fought hard, but it wasn't enough, falling to his knees. The saber's about to strike, when Hanuman suddenly tears him free from the vision, making him gasp and open his eyes, panting and clutching at his chest.

'V-Vision... I saw... I saw Brenna being killed... some sort of Zabrak...'
"I have to tell my master..." He mumbles to himself, getting off the bed and heading to the communications room. Hour to their destination be damned, he had to recall every single detail. Soon, he patches through, still shaking lightly.
"Master? Are you there?"

"Wait. Calm down and think first. That vision... It was blurry. Is is possible that this isn't a definite vision yet? That there are some events in the future that may change it?" Hanuman asks.

That makes Tyroc pause. That was true... but still...
'It is a possibility. We cannot rule out anything just yet.' He states seriously, continuing to try and patch through to his Master, who didn't seem to be picking up. He then smacks his own forehead. No doubt he was helping out with getting everything ready for their return.

As if on cue, Plo Koon answers his hail. "Tyroc! How are you?" He asks, before frowning. "I sense something is wrong..." He says.

"Gah!" Tyroc jumps, stumbling back "Master, please do not scare me like that! I had just given up on calling you!" He relaxes, wiping his brow before returning to his serious expression "But as for what is wrong... I believe I've experienced my first vision. Not a definite one, it was blurry, but..."
