Which in turn will see many star systems join the Seperatists, in a tidal motion. This was to be an example by the Republic for other systems right? Well we were the single Jedi that caused the problems in episode 2 in the first place. Just watched CLONE WARS.
Well, this is only one sector. The bigger decision on Republican aid will be taken elsewhere.
However, you were doing what was right. Sometimes it is best not to defend your cause on the matetrs of the mission but on moral grounds; the Council will accept that. Frankly, they are more likely to accept a mission gone wrong on moral grounds than they are for a mission gone right that sacrificed morality, though the latter probably becomes more necssary as the Clone Wars begin.
In the end the Council are good guys, you are good guys and they will accept most decisions taken on the grounds you did here. I am well satisifed.
But, talking of thst decision about aid... as you guys prepare to return tp your ships at the starport, you come by Dooku's unusual solar sailing vessel, currently packed up so it looks like a sleek skimmer.
Dooku stands just outside it, looking through the dusty wind up to the stars.
"Senator Gern was foolish," he says, as you go by. "He thought that as Jedi you would back anything he wanted. He forgot that you serve a higher cause than his own advancment, no matter how much he dressed it in humanitarian clothing. If only all the corruption in the Senate was so easily seen; als, many are more wily than he. If this were not so, I may have yet stayed within the Order."
