Another bout of very solid writing from both of you. The biggest thing here is to remember to pay attention to the ending format as the scores would have been even closer with both closing posts complete.

The ocean world of Ahch-To looks to be nothing but blue seas from the distance of space. Dotting the oceans, however, are chains of rocky island that jut upwards to form shallow, sloping mountain ranges with small, flattened plateaus. Rich green trees and other small flora grow along the sedimentary stone, untouched by anything more than small avian creatures looking for a place to nest. Carved into the stones of the various islands are sets of winding, ascending and man-made pathways.

The crisp, clean air that wisps off the ocean helps maintain a fairly mild temperature during the day, with a healthy chill at sunset. Storms have been reported to flare up from time to time, leaving only the highest points of the islands safe from a rising tide. Porgs litter the islands, the oceans teem with a wide variety of fish, and large, docile Thala-sirens loiter on the rocky shores.

Although better known as the legendary home of the Jedi Order, a species of small-statured amphibious natives live simple lives as caretakers of the Jedi ruins. The ruins themselves are primarily small collections of stone huts, although numerous hidden caves dot the islands. Some contain evidence of previous habitation; many more house strong Force auras with mysterious effects on sentient beings, particularly Force-sensitives.

Brotherhood investigators believe that Ahch-To may still be home to a number of relics hidden away by the ancient Jedi Order. Recently they have uncovered the location of what they believe to be a large cache of artifacts, hidden in a cave on one of Ahch-To's remote islands. This information is a closely guarded secret, and you have been handed the task of uncovering and retrieving these relics. Other members of the Brotherhood, however, have also learned of the artifacts location. Another agent has been sent to follow you and retrieve the artifacts for their own purposes.

Nora Olen stood at the edge of the shuttle, her eyes fixed on the blue expanse of the Ahch-To planet. From this distance, it looked like an endless ocean, but she knew better. Dotting the water were rocky islands, some of them chain-like and others standing alone. She could see greenery along the rocky surfaces, and the occasional avian creature flitting about in search of a nesting spot.

Nora's eyes narrowed as she took in the sight before her. Ahch-To was known as the legendary home of the Jedi Order, and as a Sith, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. But she had a mission to complete, and she would not let her emotions get in the way.

She turned to her companion, Teebu Nyrrire, a male Ewok Loyalist. He was a skilled tracker and had been tasked with assisting Nora in her mission. "Are you ready?" she asked, her voice low.

Teebu nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "I'm ready," he said. "Let's find those relics."

Nora led the way as they made their way down to the planet's surface. The air was crisp and clean, and she could feel the chill in the air as the sun began to set. The temperature was mild, but she knew that storms could flare up at any time, leaving only the highest points of the islands safe from a rising tide.

As they made their way across the rocky terrain, Nora couldn't help but notice the porgs that littered the islands. They were small, round creatures with wide eyes and wings, and they seemed to be everywhere. The ocean was teeming with a wide variety of fish, and she could see large, docile Thala-sirens loitering on the rocky shores.

Despite the beauty of the planet, Nora remained focused on her mission. She knew that the ancient Jedi Order had left relics hidden on Ahch-To, and she had been tasked with finding them. The Brotherhood investigators had uncovered the location of what they believed to be a large cache of artifacts, hidden in a cave on one of Ahch-To's remote islands. Nora had been given the task of uncovering and retrieving these relics.

But she was not alone in her mission. She knew that other members of the Brotherhood had also learned of the artifacts' location, and she had been warned that another agent had been sent to follow her and retrieve the artifacts for their own purposes.

Nora and Teebu made their way up a winding, ascending path that had been carved into the stones of one of the islands. As they climbed, Nora couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She knew that the Force auras on Ahch-To had mysterious effects on sentient beings, particularly Force-sensitives. She could feel the power of the Force all around her, and she knew that they needed to be careful.

They reached the top of the plateau and stopped to catch their breath. Nora looked out at the view before her and felt a sense of awe. From this vantage point, she could see the entire planet, the chain-like islands stretching out in all directions. It was a beautiful sight, but she knew that danger lurked around every corner.

As they made their way towards the cave, Nora and Teebu encountered a group of the amphibious natives who lived on Ahch-To. They were small-statured and seemed to live simple lives as caretakers of the Jedi ruins. Nora knew that they posed no threat, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as they watched her and Teebu pass by.

Finally, they reached the cave, and Nora felt a sense of relief wash over her. They had made it to their destination without any incidents, and now it was time to retrieve the artifacts.

Nora approached the entrance of the cave, her hand hovering over the hilt of her lightsaber. She knew that danger could be lurking inside, and she needed to be prepared for anything. As they stepped inside, the darkness swallowed them whole, and the only light came from the faint glow of Teebu's torch.

The cave was narrow, and they had to walk single file. The walls were damp, and Nora could feel the chill in the air growing stronger. They had been warned that the cave could be booby-trapped, but so far, they had encountered nothing.

As they continued deeper into the cave, they began to see signs of previous habitation. There were ancient stone huts and mysterious carvings on the walls. Nora knew that they were getting close to the artifacts.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps echoing in the darkness. Nora's hand went to her lightsaber, and she motioned for Teebu to be ready for anything. They crept forward, their eyes scanning the darkness for any signs of danger.

Nora watched the front where the sound had come from, hearing the footsteps continuing to approach. She pulled her lightsaber but held off on igniting it so as not to give away their exact location. She felt malice...hatred...the desire to kill...and the wanting of a kill.

With a deep breath, she sensed the individual was almost directly on top of them. She ignited her lightsaber, and there stood...a Porg? Nora stood straight up now, slightly confused as she still felt those feelings towards her. It was only at that moment that it dawned upon her, she suddenly realized where it was coming from. A light blue blade shot towards her side as she narrowly managed to move out of the way, but the edge of it still managed to cut into her.

"What are you doing!?" Nora exclaimed with an expression of surprise and anger, placing her saber in her left hand as she reached over with her right to grasp the wound he had just inflicted. "Have you lost your mind?"

"Sorry Nora, but...it's just business," Teebu responded, both of his lightsabers in hand and ignited. "Taldryan has an interest in the artifact."

Before she could try and do anything else, he had already disappeared further inside. Teebu turned off his sabers and returned them to his belt as he proceeded deeper. He entered a chamber that had two paths, he glanced both directions before having a brilliant idea. He reignited one saber and struck some of the walls headed towards the left path, before turning it off and proceeding down it.

His thought was that when Nora saw the damaged path, she would think he did that intentionally to make her think that he went down that path...but actually went down the other. Would it work? He wasn't sure, but it had to. In direct combat, he would be unable to win against her given her strength with the force and his smaller demeanor; but with dirty tactics and plans...he could probably best her. It would be difficult to do.

As he continued down the left path, there was a smaller chamber that had a golden idol sitting upon a pedestal. Teebu stared at it, turning his head sideways a bit. He was a little confused by why it was there by itself, and moved to investigate it.

However as he stepped, one of the floor panels lowered down with a hiss. He glanced around, barely noticing and moving out of the way of a spiked trap that flew down at him. His acrobatics gave him that narrow window to avoid it, with the spikes swinging back and resetting in the ceiling again. He looked up at the spot, a little surprised.

"A trap that resets itself...this could be useful." he muttered to himself.

Teebu couldn't believe his luck. Not only had he managed to evade Nora, but he had also stumbled upon a trap that he could potentially use against her. He had always been fascinated by ancient technology and had spent many years studying traps like these. The fact that he had found one that reset itself was a stroke of luck that he could not ignore.

As he continued down the left path, Teebu's mind was racing with ideas of how he could use the trap against Nora. He knew he needed to be careful though, as she was no pushover. He had seen her fight before and knew that she was one of the most skilled Sith he had ever encountered.

As he approached the end of the path, he came to a large circular room with several doorways leading off in different directions. Teebu couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as he looked around the room. It was clear that this place had once been of great importance to someone, but now it lay in ruins.

As he walked around the room, Teebu noticed a faint humming noise coming from one of the doorways. Intrigued, he moved closer to investigate. As he got closer, he realized that the noise was coming from a control panel on the wall. The panel was covered in strange symbols and glyphs that he didn't recognize, but he could sense that it was some kind of security system.

Teebu knew that he needed to be careful, as he had no idea what the security system was protecting. He approached the panel cautiously, studying it carefully. As he looked closer, he realized that the panel was designed to detect force users. It was meant to prevent anyone with force abilities from accessing the room beyond.

Teebu grinned to himself. He knew that he could use this to his advantage. He had enough training in the force to be able to fool the security system. He closed his eyes and focused, drawing on his connection to the force. He concentrated all his energy into projecting a false signal that would fool the security system into thinking that he was not a force user.

After a few moments, the panel beeped and the door slid open. Teebu stepped through the doorway and found himself in a large chamber filled with strange artifacts and ancient technology. He walked around the room, examining the various artifacts and trying to determine their purpose.

As he was studying a particularly intricate device, Teebu heard a noise behind him. He turned around to see Nora standing in the doorway, her lightsaber ignited and a fierce look in her eyes.

"Teebu, what are you doing here?" she demanded, her voice laced with anger.

Teebu stood up slowly, trying to appear nonchalant. "I could ask you the same thing, Nora," he replied, his voice calm and collected.

Nora took a step forward, her lightsaber held at the ready. "I came to stop you from taking that artifact," she said, nodding towards the device Teebu had been examining.

Teebu chuckled. "And I suppose you think you can stop me?" he asked, a hint of arrogance creeping into his voice.

Nora didn't reply. Instead, she lunged forward, her lightsaber flashing through the air. Teebu barely managed to dodge in time, his lightsabers humming as he parried her blows.

The two combatants circled each other warily, each searching for an opening. Teebu knew that he couldn't win a straight fight against Nora. She was simply too skilled with a lightsaber. He needed to find a way to even the odds.

Teebu kept himself held back behind one of the pillars at the entrance of the room, patiently waiting for Nora to come. If she had gone down the right path, it would be fairly quick to notice that he himself had not done so if there are multiple traps ahead that were not sprung.

Numerous plans and scenarios ran through his head, before he finally settled on a particular one. He knew exactly how he was going to end this, and it was going to be grand. It was maybe five minutes before he heard footsteps coming down the hallway, the familiar sound of Nora's boots. Both lightsabers in hand, he held himself there until the footsteps were directly at the entrance of the room. As soon as he spotted the familiar figure of Nora and her foot about to step on the ground panel, he made his move.

As her foot came down onto the panel and the trap was now active, he activated both of his lightsabers to mask the sound of the trap being activated. Nora turned and looked at him, quickly picking him up with the force. "Such a little ball of death and hatred. Why are you so intent on killing m-"

She was unable to finish her sentence. His focus on his negative thoughts and extreme thoughts of nothing but killing her, striking her from above with his lightsaber that she had completely overlooked the true threat that was coming to strike her from above. He slowly began dropping to the floor at first, before suddenly finding himself back on his feet. Her arm that was extended and holding him up, down at her side now.

Blood ran down the front of her body, spikes protruding out of various parts of her. One spike was straight through the left side of her head, out of her left eye. There was no further reaction, or counter, nothing. It was at that point Teebu knew she was gone. He slowly bowed his head forward in respect, before turning to carefully proceed further into the cave. He would collect the artifacts now, and Plagueis would be none the wiser.
