There is no emotion... (A Jedi Order Quest)

Mission Report 3942 Q1 BBY
Mission Report 3942 Q1 BBY

Mission 1 (The Core, Councilor Mira, 2 Jedi Consularss, 2 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Guardian, 6 Padawans)

-Councilor Mira-

There's a cold case gone hot on Alsakan. Ten years this kid has been missing, thought trafficked by the hutts after a kidnapping. He's been busy, though; three of the men suspected in the kidnapping are dead. And very possibly, not peacefully. Not a sign of blaster fire or dart wound suggesting poison or anything but their hearts look rather like they've popped.

I'm on the case.

Mission 2 (The Inner Rim, Bao-Dur, 3 Jedi Consulars, 4 Jedi Sentinels, 3 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Zez Kyrido-

Master Bao-Dur has uncovered trouble. An old cache of Mandalorian mines and more on Onderon, and not too old to be ineffective either. Sith cultists have also begun searching for them, we suspect, on the general theory that they are very good at causing us trouble. We have deployed to the moon with the permission of Queen Talia. It has been some time since any of the original six returned; I can only hope they find some peace.

Mission 3 (The Mid-Rim, Consular Atris, 3 Jedi Sentinels, 5 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Atris-

I was in the middle of meditation when something struck me.

Literally.

A notebook I had from before Katarr, containing a number of transmitter codes. The only problem, of course, is that I don't remember who most of them are-- the burdens of middle age-- and they seem very secure. If I want to find out, I'm going to have to go in person.

Mission 4 (The Outer Rim, Councilor Atton Rand, 3 Jedi Consulars, 5 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Sentinel Pal-

Well, we've arrived on the Drakion Homeworld. Seems there was a cultural event going on before the pirates decided to attack and with them gone, it can resume.

It's a poetry contest, of no small merit. It's not quite a competition, but it is a good way for those looking to advance to show off their skills. Naturally, Master Rand has voluntold me that I will be participating.

Of course.

Mission 5 (The Colonies, Councilor Visas Marr, 1 Jedi Consular, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-
Councilor Visas Marr-

Echoes. Nihilus left them wherever he went; and now one travels here. There is a dead spot in the Force here, one hidden in the hurricane that was the Dark Wars. But I have to know. No matter what.

I have to.

Mission 6 (The Expansion Region, Councilor Bastila Shan, 2 Jedi Consulars, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 6 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Councilor Bastila Shan-

We believed no Jedi survived the Purge, but those that had already returned to us.

But we have heard rumors, whispers of a healer on the edge of space, returning people to health in a miraculous fashion. Perhaps a Jedi; perhaps not. But either way, we have to know.

Mission 7 (Councilor Juhani, Councilor Mical, 3 Sentinels, 1 Guardian, and 1 Consular)
CLASSIFIED AUREK 10-19-001

We have been recruited by the cults to deliver Yuthura before the Republic Senate so she can beg for help. But the defenses of the enemy are great indeed: a Hutt, of no small power, stands against us on a combat platform, a many legged walker with enough shields to shrug off orbital bombardment.

Naturally, we need to deal with this.

Mission 1 (The Core, Councilor Mira, 2 Jedi Consularss, 2 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Guardian, 6 Padawans)
-Councilor Mira-

"I am so tired of running, and never feeling safe. I'm tired of carrying the memories of those I left behind to try and survive, tired of waking up in the morning and remembering. If I can't be happy ever again, at least I can make sure they never get to do this to anybody else. I can be satisfied with that."

"...That's the Force you're describing."

-BRRT-

Mission 2 (The Inner Rim, Bao-Dur, 3 Jedi Consulars, 4 Jedi Sentinels, 3 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Zez Kyrido-

The rain and thunder are thick on the jungle, but the Cannocks seem to have learned not to attack Master Bao-Dur while he is searching.

On the plus side, we have supper.

Mission 3 (The Mid-Rim, Consular Atris, 3 Jedi Sentinels, 5 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Atris-

...
I REMEMBER.

Mission 4 (The Outer Rim, Councilor Atton Rand, 3 Jedi Consulars, 5 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Sentinel Pal-

The Iron shell breaks
The Summer saber burns bright
Victory is ours

Mission 5 (The Colonies, Councilor Visas Marr, 1 Jedi Consular, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-
Councilor Visas Marr-

It is a valley of ash, an echo screamed out into the void without hope.

Or is it? Nihilus was no god, and I can feel...something. Somewhere, on this world that once teemed with life, with hope.

Mission 6 (The Expansion Region, Councilor Bastila Shan, 2 Jedi Consulars, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 6 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Councilor Bastila Shan-

No Jedi outside of us survived the Purge. If they did, they went native a very long time ago; and now no longer care for the Order.

But what of Sith? What of they? They, who brought fire and death? We did not purge them; they fled us, but we had hoped only for occupation, not the brutality of a victor's justice. So who, then, is this Morgiana?

Mission 7 (Councilor Juhani, Councilor Mical, 3 Sentinels, 1 Guardian, and 1 Consular)
CLASSIFIED AUREK 10-19-001

The hutt is dead.

We have free passage to Republic space.

(+10 PP)

Mission 1 (The Core, Councilor Mira, 2 Jedi Consularss, 2 Jedi Sentinel, 1 Jedi Guardian, 6 Padawans)
-Councilor Mira-

My ribs feel like they took a vibrohammer, but the kid decided to surrender after I showed him the Force. He is currently en route to be judged by a tribunal; likely as not they'll find him Not Guilty, or at least toss him a pardon.
(+20 PP)

Mission 2 (The Inner Rim, Bao-Dur, 3 Jedi Consulars, 4 Jedi Sentinels, 3 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Zez Kyrido-

We've cracked the code. The Mandalorian shields were no use against Master Bao-Dur, though he has considered integrating the design in the Enclave on Tojora.
(+20 Tojora)

Mission 3 (The Mid-Rim, Consular Atris, 3 Jedi Sentinels, 5 Jedi Guardians, 8 Padawans)
-Consular Atris-

We've been having trouble figuring out who is just statistically lucky and who is truly Force Sensitive, yes?

Well what if I told you I had determined a method to figure out who was and was not? How did you think I made sure the Handmaidens were all non-Force Sensitive? False negatives are possible, clearly, but it works well enough to be a lead.
(+2 Recruitment dice, Mid-Rim)

Mission 4 (The Outer Rim, Councilor Atton Rand, 3 Jedi Consulars, 5 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Sentinel Pal-
I have won myself a little shred of acclaim, and set ourselves on a positive and productive path with the Drakion. They have allowed Republic ships to begin docking and trading in limited quantities, which is good because the usual sources for many of the resources they offer, among them durasteel components, were starting to stretch a little thin.
(+25 PP)

Mission 5 (The Colonies, Councilor Visas Marr, 1 Jedi Consular, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 2 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-
Councilor Visas Marr-

Something yet lives:

Hope.

The humans on this world were slain to a last, and the surface was blasted clear of life.

The surface.

Down, down far below there was a massive complex established by the government, which contained seed banks, genetic data, cloning facilities and more. The unique fauna and flora, catalogued to a T after so many years, were held within.

This world will live again, if I have to do it by myself. This echo deserves to propagate.
(+25 PP)

Mission 6 (The Expansion Region, Councilor Bastila Shan, 2 Jedi Consulars, 6 Jedi Sentinels, 6 Jedi Guardians, 6 Padawans)
-Councilor Bastila Shan-

A man grows tired of war. Of death. Of bloodshed.

A man leaves it behind, and becomes a simple farmer. He decides to have a family. And the gift of Force Sensitivity travels through it through the ages, learning their own methods of drawing on the Force. And so his decision echoes throughout the ages.
(+25 Knowledge, may deploy a Jedi Liason to the Valley of Healing)

That was a really good turn, and this valley of healing sounds like a good place to train our own healers.

Ineffective.

I guess Force is trying to tell you something.

I have to.
Nihilus was a real force of destruction. And FTFY.
We believed no Jedi survived the Purge, but had already returned to us.
This is a really weirdly worded.

Ah, haiku fan.

This is useful.

No Force presence or even alive, so wouldn't be devoured by Nihilus' Force Drain. Lucky.
Is the Valley of Healing a canon thing or something created for the purposes of this quest?
There may be one in canon, but this is not that one if there is.
There is no such thing in canon. You're probably reminded of the Valley of the Jedi, which doesn't exist yet.

Jedi Recruitment 3942 BBY Q1
Jedi Recruitment 3942 BBY

Recruits have poured in from throughout the galaxy.

(+25 Initiates)

And of the Initiates who have already joined you, plenty join you as Padawans, taking their first steps into a wider universe than they could ever have imagined.

(+42 Jedi Padawans, -42 Jedi Initiates)

And of those, a great number step into the life of a true Jedi Knight of the Republic.

Some step up as Guardians, protecting the innocent and bringing justice to the Galaxy... (+16 Jedi Guardians, -16 Jedi Padawans)

Others as Sentinels, lighting the way... (+13 Jedi Sentinels, -13 Jedi Padawans)

And some as Consulars, advising and sewing peace where they walk. (+7 Jedi Consulars, -7 Jedi Padawans)

But most of all, you can feel it. Breda, Kador, Zez...they are all nearly ready. But then.

One of them decides to prove it. To everyone.
--
All the scum of the galaxy, gathered in one place. The line starts at "slaver" and grows worse from there, ending at "glorified serial killer." Quite a collection they've found.

Kador puts his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Remember. We do this for justice. Not for vengeance."

Iolete nods. "I understand."

The two step out into the converted auditorium, both with their lightsabers: Iolete's shoto and main wrapped in his belt, simple if comfortable robes that have refilled to a harder edge. The lowlifes look at them both, questioning. "What, did your old man call us? Wait, ain't you supposed to be bumming around?"

"Bumming around? If that's what you want to call the worst six years of my life," Iolete says with a hard edge, eyes cold in their fury-- but calm. Calm, calm, calm, think about the Code. There is no Emotion...

"As you have taken all from us, so would we seek to take all from you."

"Two against two-hundred. Not good odds, Jedi."

"Two can fight two-hundred," Kador says simply as he raises a hand, followed by his brother, "if they can't move."

The questioning look grows more serious...and then freezes entirely as the Force reaches out and touches them. Everything stops...their eyes, their mouths, their limbs dangle, uselessly. It would be so easy, so very easy, to spread it to the heart. Certainly, most of them have earned it; and give it a year, and the rest will have too.

But, Iolete acknowledges as he lends his strength, whatever it is, to the stasis field that even now arrests the foe, that would be revenge. A certain satisfaction in beating a foe may not be a quick and easy path to the Dark Side; but slaughtering them when there are alternatives and it would only get him off, let him make them feel a little of what those six years were like, would be.

And then he would not be a Jedi.

Besides, the Security officers are on their way.

"As you damned him, damned me, to servitude for nothing: we damn you to prison. Enjoy yourselves."
--
Kador and Iolete Shirot have destroyed a massive segment of the Mid Rim Slaver's network, the very same which their father led and which, even more worryingly, sold Iolete all those years ago.

On the one hand, not a soul of that scum died. In an impressive display of connection to the Force, the two managed to keep an entire building in stasis, surrounded by incriminating evidence of the most unimpeachable kind. This is very impressive.

On the other hand, Kador has admitted both that he broke into the most classified portions of your archive to study at the feet of Kreia's holocron; and directly usurped Atris' authority in the matter of Iolete's education, something she is very unhappy about.

What do you do?

[] Praise him. Kador saved the innocent, and did not slay a single soul in the deed. Yes, there are matters to quibble about but you are not the Council of the Mandalorians Wars-- you will not die if your authority is questioned.
[] Chastise Kador, but still make him a Master. Though his deeds were meritorious and certainly not worth complaint, there are parts of his methodology you must question.
[] Chastise Kador, and do not make him a Master. Breaking into the Archives? Usurping authority? Seeking vengeance, even for the sake of another? A Jedi does not do these things.

Either way, in effect:
(-1 Jedi Sentinel, +1 Jedi Master Watchman)
--
Moratorium for call it two hours.

I say we chastise him for what he did but still make him a master. We honestly need more Jedi masters and he'll be the first of a new generation but that doesn't mean he should get away from this without a slap on the wrist.

He did the right thing. And he did it the right way. But he abused the trust of his fellow Jedi.

For the record, "Praise Him" will end up with Kador on the Council since he'll be a full-fledged master and there are open seats and, apparently, no conflicts between he and you.

On the one hand, we do need more Masters - for leadership if nothing else. On the other hand, this feels like a perverse incentive. Masters need to be the best of the Jedi, not just in capability but in spirit, and furthermore we can't just have Jedi undermining one another like this.

And colour me alarmist but I don't like that he was learning from Kreia's holocron unsupervised.

The holocron was made before she fell, so there's that, at least. Still worth checking out to be safe, though.

I agree with but we need more masters the only ones we have are the ones on the council and even then the council isn't full because of the lack of masters. So I think the best bet here is to chastise him but still let him become a master, but perhaps with the added punishment that he won't be joining the council for a long while like not until there's at least six other Jedi masters to show that while we promoted him we are not pleased with the breach of trust.

In fact @Voikirium is it possible to add-on to the chastise option when the voting opens? Like making a stipulation that he isn't welcomed on the council until there's six other knights that become masters. to make it clear that while the council understands what was done is not pleased with the breach in trust.

We're growing nicely.

Indeed.

I like the sound of that.
 
Added in some of the missing Initiates from your recruitment dice I almost forgot to roll.
 
[X] Chastise Kador, but still make him a Master. Though his deeds were meritorious and certainly not worth complaint, there are parts of his methodology you must question.
-[X] He is additionally forbidden from joining the Jedi Council until six other Jedi rise to the rank of master as punishment for this breach in trust.

Is the last one to much?
