@The Laurent , bolded should be either "Fair" or "+1".


Now, about the vote...it's complicated. Each one has a lot of potential.
Politics are a crucial tool of social anything, so if we want a new class, a new anything, we must talk to Hannah, to refine our ideas and hammer them into something more practical.
Charity work will allow Nima to see more outside world and do some real good, and she sorely, sorely wants to do real good in the outside world.
Clones have their rules and their ideas would help with potential of AARs and more active self-reflection and reformation, maybe. They know how to handle the war without breaking down.
Master Bell has probably forgotten about idea of reforming Galaxy and about politically active Jedi than we have ever known, so consulting with him is always going to be productive. And he would love to see this progress from us, it will lighten him up to know we are not broken down by war.


This is one of the cases each option is so good I cannot choose any one of them.

Ehh.
At the end of the day, politics are a mandatory tool of social relationship, and so it's either Hannah or Master Bell (who must know more than he ever wanted to about politics, Jedi, slavery and reforms).
OTOH, both are just talking, and we must do something practical and refine our ideas with reality.

So....Bell, Hannah or charity.

Fundamentally, Nima wants to know she does some good and to create more harmony? And charity is bound to have frictions, bigotry and misunderstanding, because desperate people and all. She needs to see it first-hand to know better what to do, I think.

[X] Go with Jayne and Katarina, if she can, to the charity work in Coruscant, see what she can do and see, and whether she can keep Jayne out of trouble. Though it was probably a lost cause.

[X] See Hannah. She knows a lot about the politics side of things, which could help for Nima's burgeoning ideas about peace and understanding, and if she's really being something like polite with Cho, maybe she's turned over a new leaf.

Honestly I can't chose between these two.

The one thing that makes me really sad is that it seems like we weren't able to help Bariss at all and now Ayguin might get pulled down with her.

At the door, she leaned over and said, "Please. Don't ever try to destroy Bariss' life ever again, or… or. I can't lose her, I can't lose my friend like that. If you'd actually…"

"Actually?" Nima asked, quietly, her lekku as still as death.

"If you actually succeeded--"

"I was giving her the option."

"I'd never be your friend again."

I feel like we botched a roll here or we didn't interact with Ayguin enough. I hope we can resolve this plotline without Bariss going psycho or losing Ayguin's friendship.

Something had changed, this past week. Suddenly she could see that Katarina's whirl right there was preparation for a backhanded strike, that she was going to push forward then, that after that she would--

I see our lightsaber combat is coming along nicely, good to see our focus on that is paying dividends.

"I know. You are a very insightful and intelligent initiate," Katarina complimented. "Your friendship is valuable, and you are kind. If all Jedi had your kindness, this would not have happened."

Looks like Nima's crush might not be so one sided after all. I really like these two together, not nessecarily as a couple but as a pair they sort of click. The way their skills and personalities line up is great.

"The Jedi need a code. Rules of war. Specific, exact. Ethical rules. But how would one do that? How would they learn to listen? How would…"

This probably would have been super helpful earlier in the war and would have prevented several Jedi from falling. Having a firm moral line rather than a more mystical approach when the jedi were first starting out would have done a lot of good. It was too easy for Jedi who hadn't seen violence before to become distraught from sensing all of it in the Force, having actual guidelines instead of asking the empath to search their feelings in the middle of a warzone would have been a stabilizing factor. Hell I'm sure something like this existed before during one of the Jedi's wars.


For the vote I'm inclined to go with Hannah. We already have a trip out of the temple planned for Mind Healing, so I don't think that charity work is the best call. The clones might be helpful but I'm kinda leaning against them really giving us more insight.

While we've already decided that the source of conflict was ignorance and a lack of understanding, and Hannah embodied that in the Jedi with her vaguely human-centric opinions. She's also someone who has come around and appears to be more understanding than she used to be. Talking with her is both a great way to see how to accomplish our goals and to develop the right contacts to actually achieve them.

[X] See Hannah. She knows a lot about the politics side of things, which could help for Nima's burgeoning ideas about peace and understanding, and if she's really being something like polite with Cho, maybe she's turned over a new leaf.

Ethics shpuld be rooted in practice. Putting aid into practice is a great place start.

Updated the character sheet.

That was a wonderfully cinematic fight/discussion scene.

Experience is the best teacher.

I think we might have helped Barriss a little. Maybe not enough, but it's possible we'll get another chance. Certainly, if Barriss feels the need to talk, she's more likely to go to Nima, who at least was supportive of her not-quite-decision.

Any last minute votes? Thoughts? Commentary on the update (we love that most of all)?

Otherwise, it closes Jun 22, 2018 at 9:00 PM

Part of me is wondering if Grevious lost a saber getting out of that factory...
Beyond that?
[X] Hannah
Going let's help! Without a real plan seems to me the sort of thinking that got the Jedi into their current mess. Doing that some more seems like a solid way to get palpy setting us up for an unfortunate accident that blindsides everyone, as oppose to him actively targeting our efforts long enough to be outed as the Sith he is.

Inserted tally

[x] Send messages and try to talk to Master Bell about her vague, but somewhat in formation ideas of what to do. Of what could be done to make a better galaxy. It was unlikely the Order was going to change so rapidly, and yet she could always ask.

I miss Master Bell, he's so nice.

This quest is so very delightful.

I'd like to see more Hannah as well. They may not like each other but they improve themselves. Covering weaknesses. I would like to see Nima admit to herself that she's ignorant in the ways of politics, that Hannah is the expert. That her word carries more metaphorical weight. That in other areas, that are not politics, Nimas words carry more value. No thing is made equal.

I'm not truly interested in seeing her delve into politics or going to the charity work. Rather I'd like her to spend time with her father figure. Learn the ways of the force from the troopers. Bond with Hannah.

And than there is that mysterious force wound. It's such an interesting mystery.
