STARLIGHT Echoes of the Jedi Academy (Episode 6) PART 1

"You," She yells at Fyria. "let me handle this. I will not have more bloodshed if I can avoid it. I follow my superiors like any normal soldier in the army. If someone higher in rank makes a decision, you follow it. You may not agree to it, but that's life. But I also do it as a repayment. I will only tell you this, my upbringing wasn't the best and the Jedi saved me from it. For that I am eternally grateful. I fight for a better Galaxy and while I sometimes don't agree with certain choices, in the end we have to make due with that decision. Did you agree with everything your surperiors told you when you started as a simple initiate?"

Racial Influence to NPC reaction:

Tari rises her sabers in defensive position against Fyria and her beast. She then looks at Barracudas questioning his loyalty: "This is who you follow? If the Sith were the ones who saved you, would you follow them despite of their wrongness, just as you follow jedi order now? To me it seems you are still a slave with little more freedom of speech and opinion. I figured that freedom is what your kind desires the most. Only wookies are best known to give their life debts and trap themselves into servitude they crate themselves, why would a twi'el follow such example?"

"I was raised as a slave, I know the difference. The chance of that happening would be a real possiblity, because the sith wouldn't give me a choice. They would force me into their bidding. The difference is that I was saved by the Republic, if it wasn't for them I would be collared somewhere, probably be owned by a hutt, pirate or a sith. The sad part is that I was only saved because of my force potential. I fight because their ideals of a free galaxy are closest to mine and in turn I hope to do what the Jedi did for me. Saving and upholding what we Jedi fight for. I may not agree to everything, but I do to most. But you ignored my question. Did you agree to everything your superiors told you?"

"Me standing here while my people are shooting them in space is your answer." Tari responds.

Barracudas smirks. "Yes, I can see that. But what is your plan? Creating a third party then? The Jedi vs. The sith vs. The revanites? You don't follow the rules of either... We would be able to help each other so much. But my way of thinking is not the mainstream I'm afraid. You say you have found balance. But how can you be so sure, that in the end, you won't fall to the dark side like Revan did? He returned but, we can agree that his case was the exception, not the rule." She questions her. "You can follow all of his teachings and ways and live as much as you can as him. But in the end no-one will be Revan incarnate. Everyone is unique. Revan was an legendary figure who acted when he saw something wrong. There have been many 'Gray' Sith/Jedi but almost all of them failed. How can you proove to me that you have found THE ultimate balanced path of the force?" 

"Please don't!" She pleads. "If you do this you will have no chance of getting any acception of the Jedi or the Republic. You will be hunted by both sides. You will find no relieve. You haven't done anything to harm us in anyway. If you make your case like you did to me you will get help. Fyria, my companion next to me, is not the best example. Like I said. Every individual is different. You will doom any and all help we could provide to each other." She desperately tells Tari.

Barracudas wrote:

"Fyria, my companion next to me, is not the best example." She desperately tells Tari.

"This is out of yourrr line padawan, you werrre not given perrrmission to negotiate, norrr to gossip yourrr superrriorrrs in frrront of them. Yourrr converrrsation with the enemy ends now. Step aside I will finish this, or betrrray the jedi and accept her offerrr, it does not matterrr to me anymorrre. She rrrefused to surrrenderrr, that is good enough forrr me." Fyria attacks Tari with her staff saber and with her beast.

Will Captain Ceviran arive on time to lend aid? What will happen with unconscious cultist that is now easy target to disturbed animals?
