Yet even as he worked on it Plagueis couldn't stop from wondering about this new Light anomaly, about what it could mean and where it had come from. Even as its presence began to diffuse so he couldn't pinpoint it again he wondered, and a part of him worried. But he never shared those worries with his apprentice, not now not ever. Sharing worries after all was not the Sith way.
OOOOOOO
"They wished to take the children and inculcate them into their death-worshiping cult." said Tholme disgustedly, throwing down the data pad he had used during his Force assisted interrogation of the few survivors of the attack. Sliding into their minds while they were asleep was easy, and almost painless to the individual, so was thus allowed in extreme circumstances like this one. "We just wiped out three entire chapters of their cult, but the order came from on high, and there are more out there, who knows what they might try in the future?"
"Lost Jedi we already have, in trying to shut them down." Yoda said frowning. "But shut them down we will, root and branch, burn them out we must."
"I will see to hunting them down," Tholme said coldly. "My padawan and I are now free to take up missions once more with you, Master Fay, T'Ra and Micah here. Though I would prefer some aid as well if there are any Guardians or Sentinels to spare?"
"Three teams assigned to this will be. A mistake we made, hrhrhrm, underestimating the Bando Gora before, do so again we will not." Yoda mused. "A team of five assigned to finding the Bando Gora, under your command they will be. Other two teams, called in on targets they will be."
"Very good master Yoda," said Tholme rubbing at one eyebrow. It'd been a very long day even for a Jedi. "However, we now need to talk about Harry and our plans for him and Lily here going forward."
"It's been obvious from the beginning that you are just as interested in tying my son to you and learning from us as helping us Master Tholme," Lily said tartly, leaning back where she was hovering over a chair, glaring now at the older man.
She didn't like being away from Harry in his current state, but since she could always find him, and he was in no shape to get into further trouble she was alright with leaving him in the medical bay. Besides that, Lily had felt she needed to listen in on this conversation, and it turned out to have been an excellent idea. "I've not said anything yet because you did actually help us. Moreover Harry's made a lot of friends here, and I think he and I have done some good teaching the rest of your younglings."
Her emerald gaze hardened noticeably as she went on, and there actually seemed to be a bit of a chill in the air too. "But there is a lot about the Jedi Order that I don't like, I've seen a lot I do like admittedly, but that is outweighed by the several giant elephants in the room when I think of my son's future within the Order, the oaths you all take, the lack of emotions you seem to force upon your people more and more as their training goes on. I have a lot of questions I need the answer to right now, if my son and I are to continue to interact with the Jedi Order."
Yoda frowned thoughtfully as he stared at the tall and, according to the human Masters, beautiful Force Ghost. It was strange to think that she was the mother of one of the youngsters, and also apparently the one who had apparently made that magnificent Light side apparition he had seen when he arrived to aid the younglings. Moreover, she represented an entirely new and strange faction of Force users, whose abilities were beyond anything he had ever heard of.
As old as he was, Yoda had become unused to thinking about there being so much he didn't know, yet he was honest enough to acknowledge that was the case here. And, judging by how the younglings had acted around her, she wasn't exactly a bad influence either, certainly they had all become attached to her at any rate. That, and the help she had given them all during that moment of crisis when the pirate ships had begun to detonate had won his respect.
So Yoda did not respond in like kind to Lily's confrontational manner realizing that came from worry for her son, and perhaps a lingering sense of loss from the younglings that she had taught who were no longer among the living. Yoda could all too easily understand that feeling.
"Ask your questions," he said, closing his eyes as he took up a position that Lily recognized as sitting Indian style. "Questions, ask our own we will. Take turns we should, hrhrhrm."
Lily nodded, looking down at the diminutive alien with more respect than before. When she spoke, her confrontational tone was gone, making her listeners realize that might have been a sort of test for them, or perhaps not so much a test on her part as accidental like Yoda had supposed.
"Thank you. I suppose from my perspective, the Order is a very odd and not quite even dichotomy." Tholme made a noise, and Lily chuckled quietly, her eye, flicking over to him. "I've been looking up words to use in this conversation for a while now trust me. To'neen was a help there."
Her smile faded as she remembered that To'neen had died during the attack, but she pushed that aside concentrating on the here and now. "I like most of the Jedi I've met. I know that that whole there is 'no emotion there is only the Force' crap is just that. You Jedi can feel emotions, you even act on them, but you refuse to acknowledge them as an institution, and your whole stance on attachment and family bothers me a lot. I'm just wondering why your Order is the way it is."
