STAR WARS: RETROSPECTION- Holocron

"Are you really willing to intentionally endanger the Hopefuls, if you are correct?" Rianna asks Galder.

"Extend my logic to the Hopefuls and that takes care of that..." Galder mutters.

"I think you're being needlessly paranoid..." Rianna snaps in response.

Galder shrugs. "I keep my vote."

"All I know is its going to take all of our combined powers to take down Rallos. If we have to divide our attention we are doomed. Plus we don't know the level of control he has over them, perhaps if they are out of sight he won't take them over or be able to. Plus even if he doesn't take them over I think Rallos is beyond them and they are a liability. So I vote for them to go."

Says Master Kolarn

Well, with that, Rianna is going to stalk off into the Temple by herself, very displeased by being outvoted. She thinks they're making a huge mistake.

Watching Rianna go into the temple he looks to Galder.

"I think she is upset over the loss of Master Kaliero," Xavier says before going off after her.

"Master Xi, I'm sorry for going against you, how are you doing with all this?"

"My life was likely saved out there by Brath. Nuvar lost his Master. I sense absolutely nothing wrong with them, or the other Padawans. And yet you want to send them away," Rianna says, walking quickly.

"Why don't you go tell them that you want them to join the Hopefuls. I would like to be by myself for a while. I'll be in the spire if anyone needs me."

She is going to head there, hoping that neither of them follow her, and will try to meditate - to calm her temper, to try and get a glimpse from the Force of what is going on here, and to see if she can figure out why she keeps feeling deja vu.

Xavier stops walking with her letting out a sigh. Looking over the hallways of the temple. A temple he has helped watch over for many years alongside his friends and comrades, and it could reduced to rubble in the next few hours along with everyone in it.

He goes to find the Padawans, "Padawans..." He trails off thinking about Rianna's words. Then decides if this is the end then they will meet it together.

"We have decided you should stay with us at the front lines. Prepare yourself and let the force guide you."

Xavier then goes back to the front to see if anything has changed.

Galder humbly accepts your decision to support Rianna.

"Just remember what I said," Galder reminds you. "Watch them."

The Padawans, of course, are overjoyed to fight alongside their Masters! Nuvar becomes a little less glum, though you sense a spark of anger in him.

Nothing has changed at the front, though Trad believes they are as ready as they'll ever be.

Rianna... it is hard to divine anything from the Force. Rallo makes no effort to conceal himself and broadcasts his emotions across the world, yet the Dark Side still blocks your ability to look ahead and even sense clearly.

It is almost as if the Dark Side permeates everything now, even the Temple.

Rianna will try a bit longer - even if she can't pick up anything from the Force, she doesn't like her temper controlling her, and she at least would like to calm herself before she goes to rejoin the others.

Consider yourself calmed! If not still somewhat nervous. It troubles you that the Dark Side is shrouding everything from you but that Rallo is not... normally, that's not how the Dark Side works.

Rianna will rejoin the others, then, and check to see how Nuvar is doing; she's kinda worried about the kid.

Nuvar is ready to bring the fight back to Rallo. He says little else; he is normally very reserved anyway.

"Do not let yourself become controlled by emotions," Rianna says, standing between him and Brath.

"I know," Nuvar says. "I will keep my calm, even when facing my Master's murderer. It's what he would have wanted."

"Yes it is," Xavier turns to his own Padawan to see how they are fairing.

Tilith is ready for anything!

"Good Tilith," Xavier now tries to focus on the Force much the same way Rianna did.

Rianna nods at Nuvar, kind of proud of the kid, even if he isn't her Padawan.

"And what do you think?" she asks Brath.
