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

You are fairly sure your vision was not allegorical. However, as I mentioned before, it's probably too late to do anything with it now so I wouldn't dwell too much. It related to Gallagher and whilst you have been eceptionally obedient in not looking into past events, (one of the mysteries of the episode is exactly WHY he is going along with Sienar, related in turn to what actually happened to him in times past), I was actually assuming you would pry (especially Andro). Your vision gave various clues as to his storyline but there's really no time to suss that out now.

Meanwhile- no planets have blown up and Roan's not THAT good for a generic sense. No, these beings are right here.

Curses.

So they are on Mandragos then? How come he is not seeing them then? We only have the Senators here and those who have come to view Sienar's speech...

Because your eyes can deceive you! Or perhaps you are not thinking with truly open eyes and mind.

If you DO want to put the Gallagher thing together, do please keep trying; you probably should have been on Ithrorn's back to get info from Zaland (who you have not asked about in a while).

Now I can think of a whole list of things we can do if we try piecing together Gallagher's reasons for going with Sienar and looking to past events. What was Sienar's original goals when he was involved with Gallagher's family? And so on.

But I'm sure all of our characters want to be present for Sienar's speech.

Gallagher steps into Kathya's room, using the Force to call one of the papers that Tavers is collecting from it to his hand.

"Hello, Tavers," Gallagher greets. "Where is Kathya?"

Well Scovione told you that he thought he was consolidating power from his old master, including in the drugs trade, which certainly seems to have been born out by recent events.

(Discerning the exact operation of the drugs trade from Spiridos is another angle that could hjave been taken, which would have meant looking into Varm... another angle I expected perhaps Andro to take.)

Yes, but to what end? Perhaps consolidating power is what he is seeking to do now, bringing Mandragos into greater importance as his sovereign world by proposing some sort of reason that Mandragos could aid the food crisis that Twain has worsened.

So Gallagher's involvement, Sienar's past (which Roan was checking on sort of), and the drugs trade... things we need to get cracking on after the speech. Big time.

(Wow. Andro really missed the boat, lots of boats actually, in this episode. Obviously way too focused on Seinar. Sometimes it really hard to tell when to push and when to give up on a path.
And the millions of beings? If they're right here, but we can't see them, than I cna think of three reasons: They're either, invisible, very tiny, or underground. Or maybe some combination. THere don't happen to be massive catacombs here that we know of? I can't really think of anything significant to go with that thought though. Maybe someone else?)

Just to clarify, Roan can sense that they are phyiscally here?

Andro's possibilities are spoken truly!

Yes, he can sense they are physically there.

-

"Oh, I think it is about time for Kathya to move on, don't you?" says Tavers.

I think the most likely possibilities are that they are invisible or underground... I think Roan should try to move towards the closet person he can sense that he can't actually see.

I like it.
Can I get a directional focus on one person/thing?

Well, you can try looking around.

Ok Sure.

Ok, Roan is trying to follow his senses, off searching through the crowd... got skills to help you do that?

And finally, walking somewhat ubnsetadily onto the raised podium, Sienar emerges almost out of nowhere, to a wave of applause.

Jelena watches curiously as Roan begins wandering the crowd, but her attention is drawn to the sudden appearance of Sienar on the podium. She does not applaud with the audience, instead folding her hands in her lap and watching with great focus.

"There he is," Jelena says to Andro. "The great savior..."

Sienar at first says absolutely nothing at all- he just waits, standing at the podium doing nothing.

Jelena watches with anticipation, interested in knowing what the Abbot has to say. Does she notice anything else about the scene?

"What have you sent her off to do?" Gallagher asks, frustrated. He had wanted to discuss with her the reason she joined Sienar.

"Not really kept up with events, have you?"

-

Not as such, Jelena. But even in silence, you can feel the effect Sienar is having on the minds of all around him. His subtle insinuation into all is preparing the way, and the crowd starts to fall silent.
