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

That is true, but Gallagher does not feel he is stable enough to handle killing at this time. All Jedi kill in pursuit of completing their missions and to enact justice, but in this situation Gallagher cannot be sure how killing would help. Killing Sienar would destroy everything and initiate the famine, but killing his Jedi companions, assuming they come for Sienar with lightsabers drawn, will only take him towards the Dark Side.

Unfortunately, this may change as Gallagher finds out more about what Sienar is planning and how his existence is connected to the potential famine.

But he certainly doesn't want to kill his Jedi friends, or Sienar.

Such thoughts are in your head as you get back to Sienar's quarters- where you see Kathya in discussion with that lawyer...

Gallagher walks solemnly and quietly down the corridor, so Kathya and the lawyer do not hear him before he hears them. Realizing his opportunity, Gallagher presses himself up against the wall and listens around the corner to their conversation. He uses the Force to dampen his presence so that he remains unnoticed while they talk.

"It's still my name on that documentation, Tavers!" says Kathya.

"It doesn't matter. Honestly it doesn't."

"How can it not matter? The Jedi will make the link eventually."

"It won't matter by then. Sienar just has to keep them running in circles until he makes his speech tomorrow. Then- everything you ever wanted will be yours. Just one day more. Hold fast and don't say anything."

"I should know the full plan."

"Sorry," says Tavers, tapping his black briefcase. "Client confidentiality, you know? But what is in here is going to change the Galaxy. And no-one's going to stop the lawyer whilst all their attention is focussed on the Abbot- that's the point."

Upon indicating that the briefcase holds great importance to what is going on, Gallagher considers storming with his lightsaber and cutting them both down... but finds himself horrified at the thought and places his weapon back on his belt.

I wonder what it is that is in there, Gallagher thinks, and what it is that Kathya wants...

Can Gallagher use Empathy on the pair of them?

If you so wish to spend the point...

I don't think Gallagher has spent any yet, so let's give it a go.

Kathya is submissive to Tavers. He must be very senior in Sienar's organisation.

This Tavers character must handle all the legal aspects of what Sienar does. Maybe even all the financial aspects, too. Was this the same lawyer that Gallagher saw when he first arrived and tried spying on Sienar?

Yup!

Gallagher patiently waits to see what else they say in this conversation.

(Andro wishes he was skulking around instead of defending the Jedi's honor and their mission at the dinner table. Is there anything else to be said to M'lim? And could Andro excuse himself reasonbly or are we still stuck in the hall?)

You've already acted for this time frame I am afraid, Andro! Need to carry on with Roan.

-

"Easy for you to say; you're not on the line," says Kathya.

"This type of thing is my business. But we're all on the line, Kathya. We all have to contribute in our own way. If we fail, we pay the price. Varm learned that. But you did well on Spiridos- you got all that Sienar needed. So just stay quiet and wait it out. One more day. The Jedi cannot succeed- Sienar has foreseen it. I am sure you don't lack faith."

"Of course not," she says. "I am just straightening things in my head."

She's heading out the apartment, Gallagher, which brings her past you.

Would it be strange for Gallagher to act as if he was just walking through?

Frankly you are an awful bluffer- but you sense her mind is very pre-occupied.

And Gallagher has the Force on his side.

Gallagher steps out of his hiding place around the corner and walks as if preoccupied himself, barging directly into Kathya as he walks. Once they collide, he switches his use of Presence, so that he is advertising himself rather than hiding himself.

"Hey!" Gallagher shouts, as if he didn't realize who he was running into. "Watch out where you're... oh, Kathya."

"Oh, get out my way..." she says, irritably, moving on past you.

Tavers is shuffling some papers.

"You must be Gallagher," he says. "Having fun?"

Gallagher subtley uses the Force to trip up Kathya as she walks away while seeming to dust himself off. "You first, Kath."

He then turns to the lawyer.

"Plenty," Gallagher says, irritably. "Sienar has been showing me the sights of Senators gorging themselves and what happens when you touch a lightsaber with your bare hand..."

"Sounds exciting," he says. "The Senate will go where the money is, as they always do. Food is a form of currency, really. Poverty and starvation go hand in hand."

"Unfortunate but true," Gallagher says. "I'm afraid we haven't met, You know who I am, obviously. I simply know that you're a lawyer, from what Sienar has told me. Did not get a name for the face, though."
