KMC Forums - USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (JEDI)- Purity

"Oh, like mass murder?" Gallagher says. "Not that he initiated that. Those orders were given by you. Regardless of who they were, it was wrong."

Well, two prices really. One for him and one for the Council.

For the Council it was a promise that Yoda feels bound by now- that they would never tell anyone the truth of what actually happened to Gallagher's emotional state at that time. Yoda does not want you to make presumptions based off of that secrecy, but he hopes you understand how he feels bound not to tell., Revealing to others, aside form being unfair on Gallagher, would cause issues.

Secondly. Gallagher responded to the incident as many in shock would- hazy and jumbled recollections of a highly emotional nature. His treatment... encouraged that imprecise memory. Gallagher has been trained to reject any attempt to remember how he felt at that time. This repression of memory is of course dangerous, but it was the only alterantive- Gallagher was not ready to truly come to terms with what happened.

Now, the Council did not intend this state of affairs to last forever. They felt Gallagher needed to mature and gain experience first- which is why he was eventually allowed on a mission under heavy supervision.

They considered bringing him in to talk of these issues after Droben, but felt such an adrenaline rush of a combat mission was not enough, especially as Gallagher was already comign to terms with having killed his first man. So they thought if he did one more rather more thoughtful misison, after that would have been the time for him to truly come to emotional terms with his past. That mission was Spiridos, and you may remember how 'suggestive' the Council was that Gallagher had a capable bodyguard of a Jedi to look after him.

"So... our problem, I hope you see," says Yoda. That plan has been intercepted in the most unfortunate way- a coincidence if you like, a plan if you are paranoid; Yoda feels it is simply destiny, and a grace challenge. Gallagher, at his most vuilnerable point, has been taken by this 'Sienar'- and now his coming to terms of those events will not be dictated by the Jedi Temple, but by this Sienar.

If Sienar can convince Gallagher that at that time Gallagher did actually fall prey to his emotions and let them dominate him... then Gallagher will be in grave danger.

"There is an important difference between crimes that will be aid at his door and those at mine."

Gallagher sighs, knowing that arguing the point with Sienar will get him nowhere. He merely admires the inside of the Basilica as they move through it.

He actually has a very simple riposte to that point, Gallagher.

Gallagher will hear it.

"They can prove the accusations against Mirani..."

"But?" Gallagher asks.

"I think you can work out what I mean."

Gallagher nods. "You feel that you have covered your tracks well enough that nothing will connect with you, then."

"I know it for certain. Your Jedi friends aren't going to come here looking for me. Well, not officially."

"Well let us put enough faith in Gallagher and the Force, that he has not done anything drastic or harmful yet. But I feel we should not delay any longer. We must reach him and get to the bottom of this. Dark Jedi are not something to be left without engagement."

You still need to rest after Cassilis, Roan. Leaving for a difficult misison like this so hastily wou,d be unwise.

In any case- you may want to hear the info that has been put together on the matter of who Sienar may be.

"I cannot imagine what it would take to turn Gallagher."

Like any Jedi, Gallagher is vulnerable to the call of the Dark Side if he is not the master of his emotions.

"Much hatred could Gallagher feel, if directed," says Yoda. "Memories of his past... much emotion there."

Ah, sounds like a good idea.
What kinda info do we have on Sienar...

Literally speaking nothing- and certainly nothing that would ever convince a court.

But Yoda says there is someone whose story he wants you to hear.

"So long as I am with you, the Order will investigate your actions, no matter how covert they must be," Gallagher says, confidently. "But only time will tell."

"They won't find anything in time," says Sienar, as you head into his lavish apartments. "Besids, there is nothing to investigate with you. You are here by choice."

Gallagher looks around the apartments as he enters.

"What other choice did I have?" Gallagher says, gesturing helplessly. "Fate would have it that you and I should meet."
