STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

"Agreed Master Starkiller," Xavier says.

"Rianna you've been getting the same feelings of deja vu? What about you Galder?"

"Yes. But I can't imagine why..." Rianna says, pointedly avoiding the pile of ash that was formerly Dak.

Galder shakes his head.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Galder says.

"It's...odd," Rianna says. She pauses to place her hand on Nuvar's shoulder.

"We'll get to the bottom of this..."

Nuvar is still distraught and says little.

Apparently your soldiers retreated into the Temple's interior at Captain Trad's orders. They are setting up a defensive line in the corridors, with sentry guns and barriers. Commander Forb is instructing the men into covered positions to maximize their efforts to repel the enemy.

Which is odd... aside from the weirdness of your fight with Rallo, you don't think the Sith even got close to the Temple.

"Do you want to go stay with the Hopefuls for now?" Rianna asks Nuvar. "Or would you rather stay with the rest of us?"

Rianna's kind of decided that she's going to watch after him for now, along with Brath.

Nuvar kind of just pathetically tugs on your cloak to indicate he'll stay with you.

...how old are our Padawans, anyway?

"What do you think of all of this?" she asks Brath.

She's also mildly confused at the defensive lines being set up inside the temple...

Each Padawan is about 15.

"Brath no like this," Brath says. "That Sith too powerful, his army too crazy. Could not defeat them by smashing. What do we do now?"

"I don't know...we have to hold them back somehow; we can't let them get this Temple. But how...there is something seriously wrong and unnatural about all of this, and I'm just not sure how we should - or can - handle it."

"It's not like anything we've seen from the Sith before," Tilith says. "Their powers are bizarre anyway, but this is something else entirely."

Galder is eyeing Nuvar suspiciously.

"Yes this is...and what?" Rianna asks Galder.

Galder just shakes his head and walks off to inspect the preparations the troops are making.

"Stay with Brath for now," Rianna tells Nuvar, before following after Galder.

"No, really. What is it? Obviously you think something here is very wrong."

"I don't trust our Padawans," Galder says.

"Why? They haven't acted out of the ordinary in any way. Brath likely saved my life out there."

Galder flinches suddenly and grabs his side. He then shakes his head and returns to the conversation.

"Yeah, but the way Rallo brought Nuvar back. It was just like one of his soldiers, springing out of nowhere," Galder says. "It's uncanny."

"What's wrong?" Rianna asks. "And...yes, that was incredibly odd, but...I don't think it's fair to hold Rallo's insanity against the Padawans."

When that happened, btw, did we sense Nuvar die?

Oh, very much so.

Galder frowns.

"What if they aren't really our Padawans?" Galder asks.

"I...suppose that could be possible...but don't you think that's something one of us would have sensed by now?" Rianna replies.
