On the journey back to Atollon, Jaral refused her mother's repeated insistence to rest, since she, like Ezra and the rest of the Ghost crew, really wanted to take a look at the Constantinople. Not before her brother had given her back her lightsaber, promising that, starting the next day, they would train together.

The quick tour of the decks from 4 to 2 had left them speechless. Hera, given her passion for ships, was dumbstruck in studying the central core and the engines. The core in particular was a marvel of the Milky Way. It used Reapers' technology and thus was a source of infinite energy, allowing the frigate to completely ignore the necessity for fuel.

Sabine was allowed to take a closer look not only at the armory, but to the primary Thanix battery too. Ezra was pretty much forced to follow her for a while, until he and Kanan were asked to have a private conversation with Thabo, who wanted to study the Force on account of the Ordo Quaeris.

The Legionnaire in white armor accompanied the two Jedi on Deck two, where on the port side behind the Galaxy Map was a small space that had been left unused, so Jordan had assigned him to Thabo, as a personal space to meditate and as his private lodgings.

The room only hosted a regular bed, a pretty big carpet that Thabo used to sit on the floor, a small desk primarily used to work on the weapons, a holo-terminal, a small library with actual books and a small closet.

Thabo deactivated his armor, revealing his ordinance uniform.

"First of all, gentlemen, let me thank you for granting me some of your time." the Legionnaire said while sitting cross-legged on the carpet, motioning the Jedi to get comfortable as well, which they did.

"No big deal, Sergeant." Kanan said. "I was actually curious to verify your identity since I first sensed your presence."

"Please, just call me Thabo. And I wanted to talk to both of you as well. Jordan has always spoken highly about the abilities of the Jedi."

Kanan chuckled. "And about his son, I guess." he nodded toward Ezra, who couldn't hold back a lopsided grin.

Thabo smirked as well. "Oh, he would never shut up about his kids." he joked. "Anyway, I think I should introduce myself a little more than just 'Gunnery Sergeant'. My other title is 'Seeker of the Ordo Quaeris.'

"What does that name mean?" Ezra asked with curiosity.

"It roughly translates as 'Order of the Searchers'. It's a monastic-like organization where psionics can train their abilities with the Flux. When Jordan talked to me about this Jedi Order of yours, I was fascinated. So I asked to come along for this...field trip."

"I'm afraid there is not much about the Order left in this galaxy." Kanan said grimly.

"Why don't you give me a small summary, first?" Thabo politely asked.
