Why do you think that guy had his mind broken pernamently? By what? Having his kicked was more likely to make him pissed off and depressed, most people do not aget insane from this.IC response coming soon...
I don't want him to run loose on Gondekorro, if Gallador wants to bring him to Epireus to keep him as pet, I think he should. He better watch his slave though, if something goes wrong I am sure no ones going to be very forgiving. I think the risk isn't very high though. (especially if we keep him on Epireus, what I'd worry about more is taking one of Ogros men on a mission).
By the way are we discussing this verbatim in game?
Gallador blocks Xavier`s sabre with his own, his face twisted in contempt.
"So you think I cannot handle a mere vermin like this, you fool?! You know nothing about how man` mind works, so better keep to your own devices." -He whispers angrilly, his face twisted. - "It would be a shame if something happened to this pilot of yours, Trax, wouldn`t it?"

This man threatens us and what is ours
"So he does but his threats are idle, and no concern of ours," Xavier talks looking at Gallador but not to him.
Then what do we do
"Perhaps if he sees the error of his logic he would better understand," Xavier finally starts talking to Gallador. "You wish to keep this man but why. He will not be allowed back with us Rianna, Galder, Dak, and Rand will not allow it. We already have Zorin here, while this man has tasted fear. He is as liable to give us away as help you. In fact more so the former than the later. It is best to end this now as he offers no logical advantage in keeping him alive other then to appease your own ego."
He pauses then continues, "You also overestimate our attachment to Trax. But know this either you are helping this group further itself or you are hurting it. Trax is a valuable resource to this group as a pilot. to kill him robs this group of an advantage. so kill Trax, fight to keep this loose end alive, and your own value to this group will be diminished, and know we shall not tolerate such things."
"But know we shall kill this man before we leave. If you wish to put your own neck on the line so be it. We weigh the man's ability to ruin this group far over the aid you give it right now because we can live without you. It will be much harder to live without a base to operate from."
Xavier's eyes are cold, his voice unhesitating in his words.
Gallador steps back, panting slightly, his eyes piercing Xavier.
"Indeed, every men we have working for us is risky. Epireans cannot be trusted, can be anyone? But force and cunning allows some of us to control the fears and greed of all these petty men that fill the galaxy. With your logic we will never rule anything, because we fear having followers and minions...worshippers, even. I controlled a sect for almost two years before Jedi came for me, once. I know how to influence others, among other things."
Which is true Ush, new version of Gallador lost Corruption but my set of skills and force powers( Persuade, Leadership, Charisma) is good for keeping henchmen in line?
"Remember Gallador we are not unfamiliar with how to influence people," Xavier stands allowing his charisma and intimidation to shine out a little bit. "We may not be as good as you are but still there are logical steps we must take to maintain a balance with risk and reward."
"The Eperians we gain an army. Zorin gives us a contact inside the Republic, and also someone watching over a large horde of resources. This man offers us nothing we do not already have. The risk he poses far outweighs any reward he has. Especially as you can not keep him in line if you are not here to guide him, but if by all means you wish to stay to look over this one man so be it. We hope the Bureau is kind enough to give you a quick death."
Xavier hasn't moved an inch.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen," Tanic steps in, "This really isn't something worth arguing over. Especially not here. Wait 'til we're back on Epireaus - I'll take the cripple on my ship, so nobody's losing out.
He looks at Xavier, "If we take him with us, then he's not going to tell the Bureau anything. There's nothing to gain through a confrontation now, and I expect that once we are back the Lady will kill him anyway.
