Andro addresses Master Roan, "What's our first step?"

You don't need to 'Master' Roan, Andro!

(D'oh! We talked to and about so many Masters before we left, it just became habit.)

"I guess we shall just have to see what happens," Gallagher says. "But it is not my intention to cause problems. Not now."

We need a base of operations.
Place to sleep and stuff
we should get one.

That's fairly much going to be the ship I am afraid, Roan!

"Very well," says Sienar. "Now. Tell me... what is troubling you."

Gallagher remains quiet for a moment. Despite his mistrust of Sienar and his motives, Gallagher feels he will burst if he does not dissipate his worry by confiding in another the contents of his visions.

"I have dreamed and seen fragmented images," Gallagher says, closing his eyes as if it would help him recall what he has seen. "Very little of it is distinct. Myself in the position to strike down a defenseless foe, atop this Basilica. A woman with white hair of terrible power, inquiring to another girl in black about what she sees of the future. Something about a settlement at a volcano, and a tomb there."

Gallagher frowns as he recalls the stranger part of his vision.

"A group looking for a man in a desert of sharp rocks. Incomprehensible words that alarmed me."

Gallagher's eyes snap open and upward, locking on Sienar's face.

"I saw the past. I saw you! My sister's murderer and now my keeper. Defiler of my family's household and their happiness."

Gallagher slowly shifts his eyes downwards and closes them again, containing his strong feelings on the matter of his sister.

"I saw my friends as assassins, covered in the blood of billions. I cannot allow them to apprehend you or the famine will wipe them out. All of the billions that you, by some twisted fate, intend to save."

"You see much. That is part of your power. I can talk about one of these things before I go to meet the first of the Senators."

"My sister," Gallagher says, firmly, opening his eyes again and staring hard into the disgusting face of his enemy. "Explain what happened that day and why."

"I doubt you are emotionally ready for that one, Gallagher. You need time to think over what happened first."

Gallagher thinks for a moment.

"The woman with white hair. What do you know of her?"

"Ah. Her. Little; she hides herself well. But let's see, perhaps you know more than you think. What do you think you know of her?"

"The Lady seems powerful," Gallagher says, frowning. "My vision portrayed her vaguely as having the ability to kill with a word, turn minds inwards upon themselves in self-destruction. She... she wants to watch the Galaxy burn and has the power to do so. I wouldn't know anything more. It is the first time I have seen her."

"Don't confuse your fears with whay you actually saw. What else did you see?"

"The Lady was with a black-shawled girl who threw white objects on the ground that formed shapes and patterns. The Lady seemed to be inquiring about something to this girl."

Hmm... actually you might have some idea about what that is, Gallagher. In your studies of the Force, as regarding to your own talent, which was a natural one... millions of years ago, you see, the rate of Force sensitives was no different to what it was now, but there was no formal training for it. People had to learn it the hard way, and many beliefs formed around the idea in primitive times.

That seems like one of them. Some Force Sensitivesd would unknowingly integrate their practices with other superstitions. In this case, the rune caster predicts the future or scans the present. She then casts her runes upon the ground andreads them according to the traditions of her people, which need not have any internal logic whatsoever- the point is that the caster subconsciously throws the runes so that they will land in such a way that is in fact accurately predicting the future as revealed to her by the Force. It's basically just a way of channelling your powers.

I am sure if Gallagher cast runes they would end up completely jumbled or maybe just combust...

Any specific cultures that Gallagher may know about in regards to this?

No, as far as you know/remember the process died out long ago; it's just a historical curiousity.

(Players with high Savoir-Faire and Jedi Lore skills may feel frustrated they don't have access to Gallagher's insight now...)

"The women I saw can use the Force," Gallagher says to Sienar.

"Of course, and how do they use it?"

"The girl was using arcane methods to see the future, it seemed."
