Ascar will take it, and clicks out a Geonosian goodbye.
"We never lose the ability to make mistakes, Xeth- even in age and so called wisdom.
"And believe it or not, I wish you all well. I didn't do this just because of my probation. These people clearly need to be stopped. Aside from anything else, they are doing irreparable damage to galactic treasures.
It's time to go. The Atrii give you a warm goodbye, but they don't seem to care you are leaving, as such. For them, existence just goes on.
"In a way I am envious of them," says Ascar. "They are happy enough, and no matter how sophisticated we become, we very often lose that. Still... I don't think it is enough just to exist, do you? Best that I can tell, they are like this because... they wanted to be. They threw away their civilisation to be like this forever. Some instinctive link with the Force makes certain aspects of it possible, perhaps. I theorised at the time they actually get reborn as themselves... anyway. I talked with the chief. He says his grandfather would talk about the events of the mosaic with the visiting women. Now, it's hard to draw much from that- it might be that his grandfather saw it, OR that he knew someone who saw it. His own grandfather, for example. It's all the same to them. The Atrii live about 100 years so I would guess that that mosaic is from... anything between 50 to 250 years ago. Still. You'll find your answers, I am sure.
"May the Force be with you."
