STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

Xavier looks for him in the field opening up his senses to find him.

You sense his anger smoldering off in the distance somewhere...

Rianna will ask Trad how close the Sith had gotten to the Temple during that first attack...she was a bit distracted to notice what else had been going on around her at the time.

Trad frowns at you.

"They reached the last defense line on the Temple steps," Trad says, matter-of-factly. "It was only due to your distraction with Rallo that they retreated to regroup their attack.

"Don't you remember?"

"No..." Rianna says, frowning and shaking her head. "I don't remember that at all...refresh me on what exactly happened."

"They overwhelmed us with their numbers," Trad explains. "A direct suicide charge on the Temple. There were enough of them that it was an effective strategy. They care little for their soldiers, obviously."

"I don't recall any of that happening at all," Rianna says, confused. If Galder or Xavier have followed her, she'll ask if they remember that.

Galder doesn't.

And Galder was closer to the Temple during the fighting than Rianna was, so if anyone would have noticed it going on it would have been him.

Yay, another thing that's definitely wrong about this!

"We need to plan out what we're going to do next," Rianna says to Galder.

Galder is distracted with his thoughts, but he agrees to plan with you.

"Any suggestions?" he asks.

"I was hoping you had some," Rianna replies. "I'm beginning to worry that this is all completely out of our control."

"Its not completely out of our control. We just have to figure out what is happening."

"I agree, there's likely something we can do here," Galder says. "I've never encountered anything like this before, as I'm sure we've well established. I suppose the best we can do right now is just let Trad and the men do their thing... and you know my stance on the Padawans."

"Agreed perhaps it is best for the Padawans to stay with the Hopefuls. Until we figure out how Rallos does what he does and can stop him."

"And I don't necessarily agree with you about the Padawans," Rianna replies. "And if you are suspicious of them, don't you think it would be better to keep them close so we can keep a close eye on them?"

"Not if they're going to suddenly be turned against us and stab us in the back when we are least capable of dealing with it," Galder says.

"Still. I would prefer to keep them close, so that if you are right...we can actually deal with it."

"But what if it happens when we can't deal with it?" Galder asks. "What then, Master Xi?"

"I don't know! I can hardly believe what has happened. But even if you are right...I would like to believe that the three of us can handle a handful of Padawans...even ones being trained by us," Rianna replies, frustrated.

"Fine, we'll vote on it," Galder says. "I vote the Padawans stay with the Hopefuls. Master Xi obviously wants to keep them with us... Master Kolarn, where do you stand?"

Galder looks expectantly at Xavier for an answer.
