If this were an episode of "Angel," it would be the one whereLorne holds the eight ball upside down and asks "HasCordy been a bad girl?" To which the response from theeight ball: "Definately."

Replace Cordy with Tathra and you aren't far off from thediscussion Team Angel would have had, beforeconfronting Cordy:

t "well then i'm half way jedi" he said with a slight

smirk "i dinnae like kickin someones arse til they needtheir bloody arse kicked.. tho' my definition o' needin an'arse kicked tis upsetin' me family er tryin tae hurtsomeone... never do like doin 't "

Jedi_Master_Sage rises from the lake, his robe of naturally

water resistant silk-fibres drying as it touches the air.with his dark robe worn loosely around him, he headstowards the palace terrace

Talera well your defination may need to be modified a bit.Or rather your means of dealing with it." she chucklessoftly.

t trips sage over as he comes out the lake, and pops acup on tals head)

t "tis why Islish would be th' wors' place tae git jedi

from... yeer do wrong by us... tis our righ' tae kick yeerbutt... also tis how one survives in th' burbs... " heshrugged softly "we're a rough lot... nae wonder webloody killin each other over >

t stupid tings... tho, in a way, tis kinda gud t'nigh'happened... woke me up fer i fell intae th' blind fray,throwin away all i fought fer... outta pain..."

Jedi_Master_Sage grabs a herbal tea in a biodegradabletake away cup and gets two coffees in a disposable trayand carries all three back to the lakeshore where he

passed by Tal and Boto "Good evening" Talera looks up seeing Sage and smiles gently. Her hand

is gently rubbing her son Amatae's back as he sleeps inthe carrier that is strapped to her front. He sucks on hismiddle fingers as he dreams. " Hello Sage. Have a seatif you like."

t glnaced up to Sage, and offered a slight smile "hey..."

Jedi_Master_Sage nods and sits down near them, holding atray out "I thought you might like some ooban, if not, my

aiwha will have it" t :glanced^) Talera holds up her hand gently" thank you for the thought

but I don't like coffee. " it was true she much preferredtea.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Paul? t : er nae tankye, kenna stand th' stuff Jedi_Master_Sage nods "no matter" he sounds a shirll

whistle sound, which results in his aiwha's heademerging from the lake surface, as he TK-floats both

cups toward's creature's mouth and tips both coffees in,the aiwha likes coffee

Talera chuckles at the spectacle. " that poor creature. "she grins.

Jedi_Master_Sage summons both cups back and placesthem in the tray "Ooban has been adding Peequod'svitamin supplements to their mixture, the aiwha'smetabolism is such that it soaks up the properties ofcaffiene and uses it in the same way we metabolise

vitamin C" t winced at the shrill whistle he had sensative ears"bloody hell, well 't ken have all th' ooban on naboothen"

Talera shakes her head. Sage could spout the benefits allhe liked but she doubted very much the animal neededOoban. It wasnt natural for them. Changing the subjectshe asked" how are you Sage?" She was not sure how tobroach the subject she wished to speak

Talera to him about. She surmised it would be a sensativeone at best.

t had fallen quiet, listening, and also thinking aboutthings... tonight had been a serious life lesson, he had tolearn from it, incase he ever came across something likeit again, he didn't want to mess up again, Tally was right,with his ability, he had>


3/39

Jedi_Master_Sage pauses before answering ".. vulnerable" Talera looks at Sage carefully . She surmised he referred

to the struggles he has internally about this Bernieperson. She wished so much she could help him. She

wanted to be a good friend to him . " do you wish to talkabout it?" Jedi_Master_Sage : If you wish to hear of it. Talera : Of course...I would be happy to listen. t had no idea what was going on... he hadn't seen

Bernie to hear the gossip, but then, it also wasn'tunusual for him to be a little out the loop... though, hedid ask "yeer wan' me tae go? so yeer ken talk?"

Jedi_Master_Sage : I've recieved and given trust. Its anunsettling feeling.

Jedi_Master_Sage shakes his head "its alright, I believe youknow this person"

Talera : trust is important. What unsettles you is that you havegiven this person leverage over you in some way?

Jedi_Master_Sage : I'm not sure, it may be that but more so,that she was so willing to show me the same trust.

t raised an eyebrow listening... and wondered, butdidn't ask "I were sayin tae tally befer... when yeer beenhidin who ye are fer a while, tis hard tae open up.. tis th'

same sharin trus'" Talera shakes her head slightly" I don't know why that isso odd. You are mightily trustworthy" It made her smilebecause he didnt see that others placed trust in himreadily every day. She had trusted him with her mind afew months ago.

Talera nods in agreement with Pauls words. Jedi_Master_Sage : Only to those who think they know and

understand me. Bernie does not even presume such and stilltrusts.

t "Bernie? wow... I were righ'..." he said with a softsmirk "Bernie trus's her heart... sumtimes tae a fault...always has... always will"

Talera : you really think that? Sage I dont presume to know orunderstand you. In fact you have rarely let me in except of late.

Yet I trust you. And sometimes people can just trust without


4/39

pretense.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I don't, but thats changing. Change canbe peturbing..

t nae joke... " he said softly...

Talera chuckles at both men. One on either side of her andboth resistant to change. She felt like the butter in abrick sandwich. " it isnt only perturbing though..is it?"she hopes he has some positives to report. Lest she hithim with his half of the brick

Talera sandwich. Jedi_Master_Sage : I haven't allowed such feelings to grow

in decades, long before either of you were born.. I hadforgotton the chaos within the harmony

t everytime someone tells him long before you were

born... he remembers, really just how young he was, hedidn't feel it sometimes, and other times, he did actmuch younger

Talera that sounded at least like the beginning of apositive." so what makes you feel so vulnerable? Whatdo you feel vulnerable to?"

Jedi_Master_Sage : I had come to believe that such thingsexisted in a world I had exiled myself from. Now I have re-entered to find it has not changed but I have. I'm like a

stranger to my own feelings. t was still listening, kinda understanding, even a littlebit more after tonight... and seeing why emotions couldsuck a lot for a force user... but, what he didn'tunderstand is why a jedi master was so worried about itall... or why he had held them back>

t couldn't he control the emotions better? Talera : I can see how that might make you feel off kilter. Jedi_Master_Sage : She's so different and yet we share so

much in common.. paradoxes at every turn

Jedi_Master_Sage : lake shore aka my front yard] Talera : its the old adage opposites attract. Believe me I know that

first hand

Talera she chuckles softly, It was more than true. Jedi_Master_Sage : Wouldn't my true opposite be a

seductive dark jedi who comes from a desert world?


5/39

t yeer a git..." he said simply to sage and shook hishead... "'onestly..."

Elie walks up on sage, Talera and boto and hearing thelast comment she ads "I'd say I know the opposites

attract first hand as well" She smiled to all Jedi_Master_Sage nods to Elianne "Welcome" Jedi_Master_Sage : What is a "git"? Talera : Hello Elianne and Sage he means you are being too literal Elie chuckles, "Hello all" t smiled softly to Elianne as she arrived "ello" and he

smirked as Tally explained "aye... much tae literal... asper bloody usual... an' tae analytical... does 't matterwhy yeer like her, jus' tha' ye do? love an' attractiondinnae have set rules"

Jedi_Master_Sage : I live by set rules, that is what makesthis so difficult

alexander_starraider heads to the sparing ring to practice Elie : "Love isn't locgial, it can be downright

dangerous, and in my opinion it is the most difficultemotion to control, at least for me

t realised, he was the only non jedi here... and he laidon his back in the sand again listening...

Jedi_Master_Sage : And a jedi does not walk into danger

when it is not needed. Talera : Love isnt dangerous. What is dangerous is losing control of

our emotions. You can love and be in control of yourself.

Talera shakes her head. She wasnt going to get into someinvolved debate about the merits of love. If someonewanted to think it dangerous. So be it.

Elie : of course...I wasn't saying it was in everycase...only that it could be

Jedi_Master_Sage : Not without exceptional strength. And

all emotions and their effect, are amplified in measureaccording to their connection to the force, in a way, beingstronger in the force makes one more vulnerable to it unlessextreme care is taken

t rubbed his forehead... "well yeer wanna knaesumting I found, I may nae be a Jedi... bu' love, true love,tis th' mos' pure an' beautiful ting ever... tis


6/39

unconditional, non judgemental... fergiven... i'd ratherhave 't in me life... " he sat up, and >

Talera : Sage I disagree that it takes exceptional strength. It takes adecision. It takes understanding and knowledge about yourself and

your limits. It takes acceptance that things are going to happenthat are uncomfortable. Painful. And you have to know in

Talera : your heart that you will not in the end let it change who youwant to be.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Hearts Talera : ..... t went to get to his feet.... "than nae... " the discussion

was giving his already full mind too much to thinkabout...

Jedi_Master_Sage : I have two.. actually, we consider ourliver in the same context of that saying.. Gaian poetry isunique in that way

Talera again with the literal,...." she chuckles softly. t "hes a git.. i tell ye" he remained nearby, still half

listening, just pacing some too much energy, trying tothink on too much... gah... and he decided to try calminga little, letting his mind settle that way... so even if hedidn't understand fully >

t he could kinda listen...

Elie smirked.. she always knew there was somethingodd about Sage. I'm going to disagree with you thoughTalera. Love can sometimes change a person for thebetter. I think it did me. All my life I'd only thought aboutmyself and my own problems. Love taught >

Elie me to care about others" t "wha' gits me..." he said softly, still pacing.. "tis how

many jedi ken take love an' make 't a really complicatedting... I dinnae git 't... i mean fer a guy like me... whoain't got lil tae none understandin' o' th' force, fine, 'tken be dangerous, >

Talera I didnt say if couldnt change you for the betterElianne. In fact all I said was that one should not let itchange who they WANT to be. " she emphasised whatshe had actually said.

t th' need tae protect em... bu'... when yeer knight's


7/39

an' masters dinnae yeer knae how tae keep under checka lil better? so why worry on 't? snap 't up... live... an' 'fth' day th' tings go bad happens...then yeer deal wit' th'emotions.."

Elie smiled at Boto and his simple wisdom. "It didchange who I wanted to be and I think that was good" Jedi_Master_Sage : Its not that simple Paul, dealing with

emotions is easier when they are not so augmented in theirintensity

t looked to Sage, his jaw setting a little, then to Tally...half tempted to say something, and he just shook hishead "fine.. I ain't a jedi, so I dinnae knae a bloody ting"he shrugged... and kept pacing

t than to Tally, as if searching for an answer^)

Talera rubs Amatae's back as she lets the others talk. Shewasnt going to make any points here tonight. She would

just listen. She frowned at Pauls reaction. Sage wasntbeing condescending. Merely pointing out his thoughts.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I didn't say that, I will admit I do notknow how this works from your viewpoint but as a jedi, itsnot as simple as simply facing the pains that come. I'm notactually afraid of being hurt, I'm used to it.

t heard sage then sighed and shook his head, closing

his eyes, searching for the heartbeats... just listening forthem... he was getting bugged again... the entireconversation about emotions... it was hard, he only knewfrom his perspective... and well, >8Elie has left the conversation.

t from his perspective.. it would be easier for trainedjedi to cope with emotions... and harder for them to wigout...8Elie has joined the conversation.8Elie is away.

Elie : ty))

t : repost for eli)alexander_starraider : wb sexy ))armenZta Wb ))

Elie : ty ty)) Elie smiled as she focused on Talera's child. There was

a bond of love that controlling the emotions that wentwith being a parent would be difficult.

alexander_starraider licks boto then runs away giggling)) t : thats wrong)) Elie you are scaring me alex))

alexander_starraider knows boto enjoyed it relly)) Jedi_Master_Sage : On the other side of things, I am

actually... liking what has begun.alexander_starraider practises with his light saber in the

sparing grounds t : as much as i enjoy sticking a fist in your face) t : not^) Talera looks out at the water enjoying the peaceful feel

she received from it as she kissed the top of Amatae's

sleeping head. She readjusted the carrier so it didnt digso much into her hip bone and she pulled her robesaround him to ward off the morning chill

Talera Amatae could still be seen but his body waswrapped in his mothers warm robes. He continued tosuch his two middle fingers with gusto as she slept.

t sighed softly and rolled his neck, clearing his mind...this was getting rediculous... but this time, the breathingexercise did help him...it was just a rough patch... he told

himself, it'd be fine... he then smiled softly to Sageswords "well tha's > t sumting better tae hear" Jedi_Master_Sage : Paul, what can you tell me about

Bernie?

Elie : "indeed" there was hope for sage afer Jedi_Master_Sage knew much already, but wanted to see


9/39

another's perspective Elie darn enter key)) Elie "indeed" there was hope for sage after all .She

continued to focus on the sleeping child now lost in her

own thoughts.8Elie has left the conversation. t : she's more emotional then she lets on, has a heart o' gold...

would be th' first tae help in a tragedy... shes had her problems... an'

a lot o' broken relationships... bu' always looks forward... dreams out

loud... lives loud, like theres nae taemorra

t : oh, an she has wings an' red hair Talera grins at that but still remains silent. Jedi_Master_Sage : Lives loud? t : she does wha' she wan's.. when she wan's tae... she'll kick life

in th' nads, 'f life kicks her in th' leg... Jedi_Master_Sage : I take it she's not one to back down

from a threat then t Bernie? back down... ? her hair tis nae dyed sage, she

tis a real read head... yeer knae wha' they say bout redheads" he glanced to tally, wondering what reactionshe'd give

Talera blinks at that. She can feel her face color but shekeeps her face passive . She wondered if she really

came across like that. t she didn't really come across like that... Tally was thecalmest red head he knew... "tis always one acceptiontae th' rule tho..." he said softly, for Tally's benifit..."same as jedi tae... tis always..." he shook his head, hehad promised himself he >

t wasnt going to get bitter about Tathra's serious...issue..

Jedi_Master_Sage : What do you mean? What do they sayof red haired women other than their resemblance to fire?

t they ken have a temper... " his smirk seemed to havefaded... and he rubbed his temples, it seemed right noweverything diverted back to that.. maybe the force wastrying to something, or he just felt that way because hefelt bad for beating on Tathra...

Talera smiles at Pauls qualification. She did used to have


10/39

a temper. And she lived lustily and for every moment. Itwas tiresome and lonely at times. She was glad to havecontrolled that aspect of her personality.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Jaraes, Siren and Tathra all had red

hair, well Tathra did until her hair went white. I imagine theyall contained something of a temper t he seemed to look a little pissed off when he heard

Tathras name... ok more than a little "nae wonderTathra's bloody hair went white... stress o' tryin tae

pretend shes sumtin..." he trailed off and ran his toungeover his teeth... thinking 'heartbeats'

Talera loosk over at Sage at the mention of Tathra. Againshe felt trepidation at bring up the sensative subject.She herself still couldnt quite believe what had

happened. For the moment she remianed quiet about it.She wondered if Paul would broach the

Talera subject. Talera closes her eyes at Pauls comment and rubbed her

forhead. Yea this was going to be tricky.alexander_starraider head tot he terrace and sits with is

feet up on a table smoling a death stick8alexander_starraider has returned.

t he had trusted Tathra... she had betrayed his trust...

thus, he was not a happy camper Jedi_Master_Sage : Did I say something wrong? Talera : no Sage...its just something happened tonight.... Jedi_Master_Sage : Not to Jaraes or Siren.. Tathra? t clenched his jaw a little at Tathra's name... before

focusing on his heartbeats again letting his breaths slow,and his anger disapate a little... he was really going tolearn to do this much better... he was doing it a lottonight

Talera nods gently. She looked to Paul and saw that hewas using her techniques to calm himself and thoughtshe had better begin. For Sages sake." I got a commfrom her tonight saying Paul was in trouble. When I gothere she fled with a parting comment about

Talera how she would leave him to me and she had failed."She pauses a moment to collect her thoughts so she


11/39

gives the most accurate information she can. ThoughPaul would have to give first hand accounts.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I don't understand.. failed in what? Talera : I wasnt sure at first either and I arrived to see Paul extremly

upset. And Paul began to tell me what happened. Aparrently hewas upset and she picked up on it. He asked her to let him be and

he could feel his anger rising at her persistance to let her

8alexander_starraider has left the conversation. Talera help him. She encouraged him to let his anger out

and use it on her. She invited him to attack her andwhen he wouldnt she used an illusion....." she leaves ehrwords hanging as they sounded even worse that theyhad in her mind.

t an illusion o' one o' them tha' had tortured me, an'

hurt me Dinay... " he said softly, having actually foundsome calm "she told me tae let me anger go... intaeher... i were so pissed, i did, even when she begged ferme tae stop... i were ready tae>

t kill..." he frowned, it was terrible... his actions hadbeen so wrong, but she had fed his anger and pain untilit was a rage that blinded him

Jedi_Master_Sage frowns "That is madness, I know ofnothing that would prompt such a use of the darkside

from her" t : she said twas tae help me...8Krayus_Korianis has joined the conversation.8Krayus_Korianis is away.8armenZta has left the conversation.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Krayus]Krayus_Korianis : sup Sage, haven't seen you around

for a long time))8armenZta has joined the conversation.8armenZta is away.

Talera : I know Sage. I was just as shocked. But she fled so fast Icould not question her. And it was clear that Paul was very upset. I

believe him.

Jedi_Master_Sage : She is misguided, for you to channelyour anger into her only causes her to be tainted with yourstruggle with the darkside, one that you are meant to bear


12/39

yourself Jedi_Master_Sage : It only feeds darkness within her which

is impossible unless.. no.. not again.. t frowned softly rubbing one of his scarred wrists...

falling silent... and he swallowed softly... he felt terriblefor this, when the illusion had dropped and he saw it washer... he had stumbled back, in shock and fear at whathe had done "nae again?" he>

t asked softly Talera : It is a very serious breach of the Jedi path Paul. She was

once a darksider.

t so.. ye tink she mebbe again? I mean.. t'would be th'only reason" he sat down, feeling flat suddenly... whenhe did go home, he was just going to find Dinay and

steal a hug from her, this was a lot to take in... he ofcourse would tell her too...

Jedi_Master_Sage : When her body was poisoned and allthat made her enosian died, I thought she was fully human..she may be enduring the Sarem Kray or a human version ofit. Her actions do not seem motivated by malice butconfusion

Talera : we cant truly know what motivates a dark act like that. Itmay seem innocent on the surface but no dark act is truly innocent.

8alexander_starraider has joined the conversation.Krayus_Korianis : im gonna leave for now... im gonnacheck up on that trailer for BFII))

t "confusion???" he asked astounded at that... "shecoulda sent me on a bloody path..." he paused andreminded himself... 'heartbeats' he would keepreminding himself this, until it became second nature8Krayus_Korianis has left the conversation.

Jedi_Master_Sage :You said she failed.. maybe serecognised her "method" was wrong and felt shame whenthe realisation came upon her?

Talera shakes her head. " and if she had used this methodon a padawan? Would you be so eager to defend heractions? " she was through with searching for possiblereasons for her behavior. This was the last straw. Shehad proven in her mind that she was a


13/39

Jedi_Master_Sage : I'm not defending her actions, I'm tryingto make sense of it. Of course she has done a terrible thing.

Talera threat to the order. And even if Sage wouldnt seeit. She could. This was a dark act no matter how he

might like to search for an explanation. To lead abudding fore user astray to horribly there was littlesense to be had.

Talera : I wasnt finished with my post) t looked to Sage "dinnae soun' tha' way sounds like

yeer gunna sit here an' defend her actions... why, cozshes a jedi?" he stood... that pissed him off too... Leonhad knowingly drawn him into engaging her... knowinghe was angry... he had told her he was>

t angry... "I gotta go Tally, I'm sorry er knae ammount

o' heartbeats tis gunna calm me down..." t : nae^) Talera get some rest Paul...." what else could she say? It

had to be frusterating. Paul had trusted Leon and shehad abused that trust. She had nearly led him down a

path to darkness in one act. Jedi_Master_Sage sighs deeply "Talera, we both know what

she once was, disciplinary action cannot be avoided, butthere may be time to prevent her become Leongatha

once again. With all she knows.. Do you know where shewas heading?" Talera : I have no idea. And you cannot prevent someone from

falling. Only they can prevent that. Sage you know this .

t nodded to Tally, but didn't even spare Sage a glance,too hurt right now... Tathra and Sage were supposed tobe friends, Tathra had just about sent him to turning intoa bloody darkie, and Sage was, in Pauls mind, defendingher because she was a jedi... >

t what was he.. a piece of bantha dung... he had noidea before coming here about the force, Tathra knew hehad little idea in the force, and still enocouraged him...he really could have killed her... he could slightly seenow, why his people were so down>

t on the force... he tried though, as he moved off, tocalm himself, he did not want to go home to Dinay in a


14/39

savage mood, especially not after tonight. He wanted togo home, tell her what was going on, and seek the calm,and peace he knew her love to >

Jedi_Master_Sage "Yes, but if she will listen, she can be

helped.. Talera, I always hoped this would never comebut I knew what it would mean if it did. If she doesrevert.. she will not come back. Most likely she will die"

t bring... he didn't want to dump more on her... but healso knew... she would want him to tell her..

t I do learn) Talera : Sage in the end this is her path and her decision. You cannot

prevent what she insists on becoming. We have to think about what

this means not just to her but to everyone.

t : k brb/afk)

Jedi_Master_Sage : k k] t : by the way sage, you aren't my friend anymore) Jedi_Master_Sage : I can do for her what I hope you would

do for me if it were I heading down the same slope Jedi_Master_Sage : [eat me] t : ok, lemme get the beer batter) t : anyway brb) Talera : I do not begrudge you trying to help her. However I think

there has to come a time when we say a person should know better.

Not for common sense but for the teaching they have been soreadily given. And at some point we have to revisit wether they are

Talera : truly on the path or in name only. Jedi_Master_Sage : I agree, but I must at least hope for the

possibility that she is being influenced by something otherthan folly or malice.

Jedi_Master_Sage : If it she is indeed acting withoutexternal pressure of immense magnitude, then I will do asyou say.

t : ty)alexander_starraider : wb ))

Talera : your looking for justification of a dark act Sage. That isdangerous. One must ask themselves if this person should have

been taught at all. She has immense wisdom and teachers at her

disposal but she cannot see merit in anothers wisdom. You have

seen

t made his way home, having taken a while to do so,so he could calm himself... and had succeded mostly, no

he was just feeling flat and drawn... he summerized Sagecouldn't help being a git... at least Talera believed him,at least one of his best friends>

Talera : this over and over. To reson with a person like this, to getthem to not only listen but retain what you have said is next to

impossible. How then would their excuse be valid? For how

would we ever know if it was true or merely in the mind of the

Talera : person? t did not cast him aside because he wasn't a jedi... he

could deal with Sage doing so... it wasn't like Paul wasn't

used to being abandoned at the drop of a hat... hemoved around the house, searching for Dinay, beforemaking his way up to the top level...>

t and moved for his bedroom... he needed a showeranyway, then he might either lay down curling up to her,if she was still in bed, if not he would play his guitar, thatwas always soothing too

Jedi_Master_Sage : I accept and understand all you say. Ionly ask that you let me at least ensure that she has not

somehow been poisoned in mind. There is no ignorance,there is knowledge. Let us know with certainty why she hasdone this and then cast our judgement.

Talera sighs softly" there is not need to quote the code asif I were some struggling padawan. " She had thoughttheir friendship had transcended that. That point wherehe condescends to her as his lesser or his pupil. Itdisappointed her. " I am not all

Jedi_Master_Sage : I didn't say it for your benefit, I said itfor mine.

Talera together unsure that you are too close to her. Thisis something the council should discuss and ensureindependantly as a collective wether or not her mind hasbeen poisoned by anyone but herself"

Jedi_Master_Sage : I agree, which will mean someone willhave to find her and bring the truth from her. She is too

dangerous to be left alone. t moved into the bedroom and threw his shirt off,

letting it land on the floor, he really didn't feel likekeeping the room tidy, his pants followed, and soon he

had slipped ito the shower, turning the water on as hotas he could take it, and he sighed and> Jedi_Master_Sage : I just want so much to believe that she

can be saved. t leant back against the wall, closing his eyes... making

sure he remained in that calm, if not somewhat...pained.. state. The anger, the rage Tathra's actions hadpulled him into, so scarily blinding, he wanted to avoidit... for all costs. If that >

Talera I know you do Sage. I know..." she admired his

belief but she felt it was misguided. She felt he was ondangerous ground being so close to Leon to have

perspective. She knew if it were anyone else he wouldbe the first to say the actions constituted

Talera darkness and needed to be dealt with swiftly andseverely. She was not a mere struggling padawan. That

phase was over. She was a Jedi Knigt and therefor heldto a higher standard. This was very very serious.

t meant having to listen to his heartbeats, each day,

everyday until he could do it without having to think tohard... he would... Jedi_Master_Sage : Talera.. do you know if she has learned

of my relationship with Bernie?8Algren Dalrynn has joined the conversation.8Algren Dalrynn is away.

loved me. I'm considering all possibilities for now.. I hadthought she may have not handled that issue as well as she

t Algren)

Talera : It is possible but if that is the case....what she felt could nothave been true love. If a person loves you truly they wish your own

happiness above their own. It is selfless.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I told her something along that line too,maybe she has been building towards this for some timeand I didn't see it.. maybe I didn't want to see it.

Talera : Maybe it wasnt yours to see. Sage you run a large risk here.You tend to internalize other peoples failings as your own. If it as

we fear with Leon. This is not your failing but hers. You cannot

own her decisions.8t has left the conversation.8t has joined the conversation.

what she thought. This was a lesson learned over tenyears ago .8Algren Dalrynn has left the conversation.

Jedi_Master_Sage : I intend to find out both. Talera : I think it prudent that the council suspend the padawan

relationship. For Aurlees safety.

Jedi_Master_Sage : That is certain. Aurlee is a former darkjedi who Tathra helped walk away from the darkside

Talera : oh yes there is not doubt the relationship needs to besevered. At least until everything regarding her is decided.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Talera.. your family may also become atarget

Talera nods slightly" I know. " she began to think about

something Sil showed her in the old Jedi annals. Aboutthe council severing a force user from the force for thegood of all. " I know Sage. It has long been her familysdesire to harm my family."

What are your thoughts? Jedi_Master_Sage : Now I have to be sure I keep myfeelings for Bernie, secret from the public

"Do you need some help there or shall we conduct thisvia holo-comm link conference?

Elie sighed. "Oh well...not like you are goinganywhere" she mused. She cleaned up and stored the

samples before exchanging her lab coat for her robesand heading to the council chambers. Talera looks up seeing Sage had stopped for her." No Im

fine I am just trying not to wake him." She snugs herarms under his rump as she carries him within thecarrier and moves beside Sage. " are you thinkingcouncil chambers?"

Talera steeples her hands on Amataes back as Sage

speaks. Her face is calm but grave. Lendorian sits back in his chair, staying silent for the

time being, but listening...apparently her isolation wasnot so successful

8mperorThunderraft has joined the conversation.8mperorThunderraft is away.Elie : I thought she had gone into isolation? She is still

on Naboo then? Jedi_Master_Sage : She attempted to coerce this man into

allowing her to essentially, siphon his anger into her. In theprocess, she awakened focal points of anger within him, byuse of deceptive illusions that added to his rage which wasconsiderable.

Talera : Tathra created an illusion tonight in incite Paul to attackher. To let his anger out on her. Some of you may not know thatPaul is a budding force user. His understanding of the force is

remedial at best. However as you know Tathras is extensive.

KssdB lays in David's bedroom, asleep,screaming at the top of her lungs tossing and turningunable to wake up from the nightmare

raised an eyebrow at that, Boto was thatsinger guy, she had met in passing, and she frowneddeeply hearing both Sage and Tally... "she had him

attack her? is she aware of his force abilities?" Talera : nods at Sages account. " Paul as you can imagine feelsbetrayed by Leon as he trusted her to guide him in that moment.

But it should also be known that he had refused her attempts . He

told her no and that he didnt wish her help in the matter. She

Talera : persisted and then to achieve her goal she created anillusion of a person that harmed his family and he did indulge in

his anger at that point.

Jedi_Master_Sage : We don't know what has possessed her todo this, her action seems to be more of madness thanmalice.

alexander_starraider pokes sage back into his cup)) Jedi_Master_Sage : I have considered the bleak possibility

that this is simply a matter of mental illness, somepsychiatric condition or even the result of some poisoningattack against her mind, causing her to lose the ability to


27/39

discern reason8Jedi_Master_Sage has returned.8Jedi_Master_Sage is away.

: either or Sage, a Jedi should have greater control

of their actions, she is a knight, not a padawan... when i lost my mind,to a madness created by instincts i thought i did not have, I still

succumbed to the darkness...

Elie "What could she hope to gain by such a thing?Why would any Jedi ever encourage anger?" she was

preplexed by this revelation Jedi_Master_Sage : Talera and I have considered the

implications involved if this is a sign that Leongatha isreturning.

Talera : that is the problem. We all must face the possability thatEither we have been misled all this while or that she is as Sage saysreverting to the darkside. This behavior as you know is not that of

a Jedi.

: on the whole, as of late her actions have been farfrom Jedi like

Elie shook her head. "Do you think her expulsion fromthe council may have been more than she could acceptand this has pushed her back to the darkside?"

Jedi_Master_Sage : Perhaps her actions of late were the tip of

an iceberg, in any event, especially after what she has doneto Paul, there must be both investigation and a reckoning. Jedi_Master_Sage : That may have been part of it, she was

also rejected by one she professed to love, she also lost anarm in a battle not too long ago, I don't know much of thebattle except that she actually helped save two of the jedithat were nearly killed there

Talera : personally I think that She was struggling long before hertime on the council. I think this could be a manifestation of the

inevitable . You all know of her bitterness and anger . And Sage

each and everyone of us have suffered loss. That is no excuse

Talera : A Jedi Knight must be held to a higher standard. Thisbehavior is so obviously against everything we stand for.

KssdBorgi was crying under the pile of blankets"i don't have any rest"

question is what to do beyond that. If we expell her werun the risk that she will fall back to darkness withoutguidance. In fact I see that as a certainty if....if she hasnot already. And are were certain that

Elie that she was not dark all along? So to continue toharbor a darksider amoung us is a danger as well. This isindeed a dilema"

mperorThunderraft :You have seen nothing if youractions prove to be taxing on my behalf

Jedi_Master_Sage : There is no ignorance, there isknowledge, investigation is clearly called for, but with strongacceptance of the possibility that she may have alreadyfallen, it is better to be prepared for the worst case scenarioespecially if it is most likely

but complicate it we should not.

could feel it "I probably don't have long anyways David" mperorThunderraft laughs, "You are as dramatic as youare foolish...this child being mine will not kill you, it will

just bring you great suffering"KssdBorgi puts her head into the pillows "it

doesn't feel that way" she says :yes, do investigate it... but also be aware, if she had

indeed fallen again... she will defend her own actions in any manner

possible, to remain within the Jedi ranks... it is not unheard of, and

from my own experiance can say... she will try and hide

Lendorian : I say we send an inqusitive letter to herasking for an explnation not just of these actions, but theactions of speaking against the order and thecouncil...her words could lead us to our decision

as you put it, I am also the most vulnerable to being swayedby compassion. I will not allow her to exploit that. However,if I can do so with the assistance of another.. it can be done

Talera nods gently" I was thinking that as well. Here is myidea. Send her a letter from the council informing her ofour wish to speak with her. But let nothing of why wewish to speak to her be breathed. We handle it withutmost care and confidence. Only

Talera when she is before us do we level the allegations

the truth. I also agree that some immediate action is necessary. I

suggest we sever her padawan relationship for the time being. Until

the investigation is complete. And she cannot plead

Talera : ignorance in this. As a Jedi Knight it is understood that aKnight knows the difference between right and wrong. For me it is

clear that confusion cannot be blamed. So whatever the

investigation reveals....we should be mindfull of that fact.

8Elie is away.8Ivory has made Ivory a Participant. Jedi_Master_Sage : If so, than that matter is already

resolved, we can check that soon. It is settled then, we willsend a letter of query to Tathra, without alerting her to ourconcerns. I believe Talera and Desaray would be best atwording such a letter. Based on her >

Jedi_Master_Sage : response to this letter, I will see if shewill consent to allowing her mind to be probed but only withthe support and supervision of another jedi

Jedi_Master_Sage : If there is nothing else anyone wishesto add, we can consider this meeting adjourned

Talera : I believe she may have. But she should be put on restrictionfrom interacting with any padawans including her own. the letter

to her should be simple saying only that the council wishes a

meeting.

nodded softly listening to this, but addedno more...

Lendorian sits back in his chair, "This decision should

suffice for the time of invesitgation"Elie "I agree with the action on Tathra. However I haveanother matter of importance I wish to inform the councilof when this is concluded" she looked grim

Ivory master sage...with all due respect, i dont think youshould be the one doing a mind probe on her...the factthat you know her best, is speaking for it, but alsostrongely agaisnt it, like it would speak against me doinga mindprobe on sil" she speaks calm and with the wellknown friendlyness

Jedi_Master_Sage : As we have already discussed, I alonehold the strongest rapport with Tathra and while she maywell have anticipated for such a measure, I will have thesupervision of another councilor to ensure I am notmanipulated. My friendship with Tathra, frayed as>

Jedi_Master_Sage : it currently is, is not the same as the

force bond you shared with Epsilon, that seems to havecarried on to Silhouette. I share your concerns, but I ampossibly the only one who can do this and attain a degree ofaccuracy. Don't worry, I'll be kept inline

Jedi_Master_Sage :Now, I believe Elianne has something

she wishes to share? Talera frowns slightly" I disagree with the notion that you

are the only one who can do this but I have no problemswith Sage performing the probe when the time comes.With the precautions of course. Who will you want toassist you?

I could... " she offered softly "I amtelepathic naturally... should there prove to be a problemSage occurs.. I might be able to assist"

Jedi_Master_Sage nods "I was just thinking that" Lendorian wwaits silently for ELianne to speak

Elie "Very well if that matter is settled then I will go onto another. The other day i was called to the room ofKassandra Borgia , the chancellors intended to attendher for complications of a pregnancy. In so doing I tooksamples of blood and fluid which >

Elie can be dna tested. Now that in an of it self seemsof little import but what else makes this curious is that

her condition is not normal. Something is very wrong.When I put hands upon her I found that the child withinher is a malovelent presence. It

Elie poisons her and nearly made me ill to be incontact with it. I know that normally a child not yet bornhas no such force allignamnet. " she paused. "But I haveno doubt this one is of the darkside already."8urdeth has joined the conversation.

urdeth : imma puke...))Elie ok...i was gonna say hi but....))urdeth : .. srry? lol i hate feet and my sister is watching a

speacial on feet)) Jedi_Master_Sage : It is possible for a child to harbour a

dark presence, caused by a darkside spirit either possessingor somehow imprinting an essence of itself upon the child

Talera just listens

Lendorian : bah, I g2g...which is probably for the best,since I be the dark one will bbl. Cya all))

is silent... she has nothing to offer...Elie : later))

8Lendorian has left the conversation.8mperorThunderraft has left the conversation.Elie : I understand that this is not conclusive proof of

anything but yet it is a piece of the puzzle and cause forcaution

Jedi_Master_Sage : I agree, but for now, its onlycircumstantial. There is a precedent for this, a woman whovisited the tomb of Livia claimed something similarhappened to her unborn baby. Did this woman do somethingsimilar? Perhaps she had been met with a powerful darksi

Jedi_Master_Sage : darksider whose presence has..infected her? or has she come into contact with a darksideartifact?

Talera : im gonna go. save the RP for me)Elie : not me...I'm a moofer))

8Talera has left the conversation. sighs... not even a goodbye)Elie shook her head. "i don't know. She would not even

identify the chancellor as the father, but she made it

clear that she wished him to think it so" : sage, wanna get the rest? i cant stay...)

Jedi_Master_Sage : sure, slacker ]Elie : later dee)) : bite me butt head, its my annivesary... i need some

sleep if i plan on going out )

Jedi_Master_Sage : Its possible she simply wants hissupport but has lied about who the real father is

: later eli)

8t has left the conversation.8 has left the conversation.Elie : That is why I tk the samples. To prove the

paternityElie : took

Jedi_Master_Sage : what does it prove so far?Elie i have the dna code. the curious thing is that i can

not find ant record of the chancellors dna. There seem tobe none in the records.

Elie : i have the dna code. the curious thing is that ican not find ant record of the chancellors dna. There

seem to be none in the records. Jedi_Master_Sage : He may have a private physician andfears being cloned.

Jedi_Master_Sage : We will have to work with what wehave, for now, we can only offer to help with cleansing of thechild's spirit, with the parent's consent

Elie : nodded. "or he may not want it to be known thathe is force sensitive. There are many possibilities. As Isaid it is only a piece of the puzzle. If it fits I do not yetknow. I only wished to inform the council of thesituation. The is no ignorance.

Elie nodded. "or he may not want it to be known thathe is force sensitive. There are many possibilities. As Isaid it is only a piece of the puzzle. If it fits I do not yetknow. I only wished to inform the council of the situation.The is no ignorance.

Jedi_Master_Sage : Do you have reason to suspect that heis force sensitive?

Elie : no but it would be ne reason one might not wishto have dna on record

Jedi_Master_Sage : Or he may be like me and simply notget injured often enough to have a record. Also, his medicalhistory is technically confidential by law.. but there are otherways of getting his DNA

Elie : yes...there are Jedi_Master_Sage stands "well have to continue this later, I

have to take this call, thank you for your report Elianne"he farewells as his comm goes off "as for getting his

DNA, I can only 'suggest' you stay within the law but toalso be creative"Elie chuckled... "of course"

Jedi_Master_Sage : Remember, its not theft if he leaves itlying around and refuses to claim it...
