(OOC: I blame Keleth. :P)
Jado followed the others to the cargo hold and watched for a few minutes. He hoped that by watching he could get a clue from what the others were doing. He usually left questions of technology and puzzles to Callis, Hrowlf, and Brent. But Jado figured that if hundreds of Jedi could roam the galaxy with 'sabers ... then building them had to be easier than he thought. Maybe he just needed some time and luck, or guidance from the force.
Since it was probably better to settle for guidance from the force, he started there. The first thing that called to him was a dented piece of conduit which reminded him of the underlevels of Coruscant. It was long and suitable to a saber pike. So he took some time to shape it to a suitable staff-like appearance. Then the pieces of the emitter, power cell, power couplings, and so on started demanding his attention. Once everything looked complete he activated his saber to see if it worked.
Nothing happened.
After a couple of tense moments hoping it wouldn't explode in his hand, suddenly activate and take a hand off, or something suitably hazardous he risked a peek at the emitter. A faint glow came from the emitter, so he used the force to lift it from the end of the saber pike. The molten power cell then proceeded to drip and take half the emitter with it back down inside the body of the pike.
"Wow. At least it didn't take my hand off!" He said, grimacing, "anyone else have better luck?"
He looked around but thought, as well as felt, that everyone had similarly unsuccessful results. Jado felt a little embarrassed for himself and his friends. It wasn't
supposed to go like this, was it?
