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

Lets not do anything too rash guys. Keep it cool, and lets get some good info.

Hmm, Does anything about Sienar's bio seem suspicious to me? In a "Sense" sort of way?

Well, you would think if he was born and raised here people may have noticed if he was being pulled away from his duties to the Synod in order to study the Dark Side under Paluzzi.

That is true. He had to have dissapeared for a time.

You get a bad feeling about all of it, Roan, but he is too strong in the Dark Side for you to be able to find the truth of it from looking at a bio. He's had years to build that cover.

The problem is, this is a poverty-stricken area of the Galaxy, and though the Basilica sayas otherwise, Mandragos is not a wealthy world (hence it being such a low city other than the Basilica). It is the same in many of the worlds in nearby systems; teeming mulititudes of poor peasants and labourers with whom the paperwork is not exact. The vast majority of followers of the Church are only nominally recorded, and even those working for it are often informal. Only once they start to gain seniority and come to the Basilica does it start to come together.

Difficult situation, this... of course, you must remember your limits, Gallagher.

"Gallagher!?" Andro calls out when he sees the young Jedi, ignoring Kathya for the moment. "Are you okay?"

Well even from that it tells me that he was indoctrinated before he entered the church. Which means he must have had a plan from the beginning.
He didn't join the church and then fall to the Dark Side. There is a purpose for him doing what he did. And we need to figure out what that is.

Gallagher stares sadly at Jelena and Andro for a moment as he remembers what Sienar has said about staying out of touch with his Jedi companions. The moment Andro asks if he is okay, he turns tail and shoves his way hurriedly through the crowd, back the way he came.

Jelena is surprised by Gallagher's flight.

"Andro, go after him," Jelena says, keeping close to Kathya.

"Don't let her go!" Andro calls out to Jelena, referring to Kathya, as he bolts into a dead run in Gallagher's wake. "Gallagher! STOP! I have to talk to you! He's EVIL Gallagher, he's using you!" Andro shouts these and other lines in the same vein as he pursues his friend.

(Andro's in full-out chase mode, people either get out of the way or get run over. If Andro has any ability to use the Force to 'nudge' people as he goes, he'll try that. He will try to stay as close as possible behind Gallagher until the guy gives up or gets away. There will be no grabbing or tackling. Although I'm sure the crowd will still think Crazy Andro is trying to Murder the Great Abbot/Archmandrite-to-be Seinar's poor little pet Jedi and will end up massing in Andro's way, but he has to try.)

Gallagher seems headed upwards Andro- to the private quarters.

"I've got nothing to say to you," says Kathya, heading down.

-

Your logic is all good, Roan.

Gallagher runs his hardest, knowing that physically Andro is above him and could catch up to him at any moment. He hopes that Andro will not be rash enough to come charging into the private quarters.

"Don't follow me, Andro!" Gallagher shouts back. "I must do this alone! It is my path to walk!"

"I disagree," Jelena says, following Kathya closely. "You signed off on a series of transactions to and from the Offatory fund. I am having the bank accounts traced as we speak, and I am positive that it will turn up the laundered money from the Spiridos operation. It will have your name on it, and you will be as dispensable to Sienar as Varm and Mirani were."

"Go to hell," she says.

Jelena will try to sense Kathya's mind.

"What, do you not believe me?" Jelena says. "Two of your fellow conspirators are dead, we have possession of the Offatory fund records and the private files from Mirani's office on Spiridos regarding Sienar. I notice your friend the lawyer is not protecting you now. That alone is a sign that Sienar is willing to cast you aside."

So what does the church have that Sienar couldn't get elsewhere.
Its not power, as he could have pulled a palpy and gone political or gone outlaw.
its something the church HAS that he would have access to in the position of extreme power within it.
Is his position like the pope wherein he would have access to some sort of secret? Maybe information of some sort...

(Meta: I'm nearly positive Sienar is after the SnK, and the church is going to help him in that quest.)

(I totally didn't think of that... that's really quite scary.)

She's not disbelieving, Jelena, she is defiant.

(Tpt, I never thought of that, either. Makes a lot of sense, but what about Seinar being seeming willing to die to turn one of us? Is he truly willing, or just taunting?)

Andro will run until Gallagher stops or some principle of physics stops him. "Gallagher, we must speak! Surely you know what's going on here! You don't have to stay with him!"

Gallagher keeps just ahead of Andro while moving through doors and up stairs.

"But I must!" Gallagher says. "I have forseen it, Andro. If you kill Sienar, all is lost. I must unravel this from where I am now. Now, leave me alone!"

Gallagher will use the Force against Andro to slow him, taking advantage of the fact that he is much more finely tuned to the Force than his Jedi friend.

"If he is named Archmandrite all is lost!" Andro counters. "Gallagher, that is why we must speak. We need to know what you know, and you need to know what he has told us! STOP!"
