I mean during this arc we had Ciaran and Asajj call each other sisters so romance ship is cancelled at the docks, sibling ship however is now sailing.

Considering that Ciaran's thoughts toward Nihlus have always been some shade of terror, I think it more likely that she would be able to...I guess "de-weaponize" wounds. Help them to heal. It fits her thematics as self interested but sane, since a wound is kinda a threat to everything, not just her enemies. For all that she wants power, she needs control even more-look at her track record with bioweapons, her choice not to activate the Foundry, how she reacted to the mention of Mnggal-Mnggal, and learning of the Mother. She doesn't look at them as weapons, she looks at them and thinks "Well, I guess I'm destroying all of that stuff; I want there to be something left of the galaxy when I'm done here." I have to assume she'd feel the same way about force wounds.
Of course, that does have the issue of being far too neat and tidy a solution to the Temple Wound, possibly to the point of seeming contrived. Soe perhaps she's just resistant/immune to them? Or she can heal them, but it takes decades to make any noticeable change? Even both of those together might work.
Here's our new trait.
Edit: Apparently I need to get my eyes checked
Edit 2: nevermind, Snark added it in minutes after I checked

I distinctly remember someone in this thread saying that the Temple is built on top of Coruscant's tallest mountain.
I guess the hunger Ciaran mentioned was more than just her greed, ambition and slight hedonism.
I'm sure I remember somewhere that it was mentioned that the only way to learn the Drain ability as Nihilus and the Exile could express it is to experience it's effects, given Ciaran's experience on Malachor V.
Learning about that power might be a means of taking down Palpatine I suppose, turn his own immense power against him, I'm not sure I want to see what that does to Ciaran if dealt with incautiously.

I wanna say we have some mining equipment. Bring it in disassembled through multiple shell companies. That far down in the Undercity, they won't hear the mining anyway.
If high explosives can't solve your problem, you're not using enough. =P

It is there:
Nightsister Techniques: More of an instinctive talent than a skill, Ciaran can draw on her bond with Asajj to use many of the same abilities she can. +2 Lore
Going through to see what else has been updated.
Asajj has gained:
Blazing Chains Style (Basic) for +2 Lore, +1 Martial
New Force bond:
(Asajj gains considerable bonuses to personal combat when fighting alongside Ciaran. Asajj has a 80% chance to automatically learn a random Force technique possessed by Ciaran (barring Shatterpoint) every turn. If Asajj and Ciaran are assigned to the same action the roll has an additional +15 bonus.)
Old Version:
Force Bond (Asajj Ventress): The Force has bound Ciaran to Asajj, tying the two of them together on a fundamental level and strengthening them both. This has grown more powerful since Dathomir. (Ciaran gains considerable bonuses to personal combat when fighting alongside Asajj. Ciaran has a 70% chance to automatically learn a random Force technique possessed by Asajj every turn. If Ciaran and Asajj are assigned to the same action the roll has an additional +10 bonus.)
So 10% higher for force learning and +5 more to action they work on together.
Edit- I kind of want to throw Asajj and Ciaran at a lore or martial action next turn-
Bonuses: +15 Force Bond, +5 Asajj Force Sight, +10 Ciaran Force Sight: +30
Martial: 42 Ciaran, 42 Asajj
Lore: 48 Ciaran, 47 Asajj
I think it is full state for Ciaran and half for Asajj in which case 63 for martial and 71 for lore
Then another +20 for omakes and some more for default bonuses, and oh my are those two terrifying together, which to be fair two higher end force users working in conjunction should be.

At least in the Legends Canon..
The Jedi Temple is not atop the tallest mountain on Coruscant. Maybe it is in Disney, I dunno.

We went to Malachor II. Malachor V is currently a bunch of asteroids.
Monument Plaza is still canon, it was used a few time in Clone Wars.
And we got the perfect agent to call upon to help with our explosive endeavors.

The Jedi Temple isn't built on top of the tallest mountain, but it is built on top of a mountain, specifically the Sacred Spire, which is where the force nexus is located. We might be able to sneak into the force nexus to do something, but I don't think we'll be able to structurally compromise the mountain enough without being noticed to force an evacuation that way.

Oh yeah, she got freaked out by being in the same system as the remains of Malachor V rather than going there directly, thank you for the correction!

Was it a familial sister, or more of a Nightsister type.
If familial: no romance
If Nightsister: assuming that "sister" is what nightsisters call each other, it's safe to assume that a relationship is open between the two, which I hope is true, cause Padme's taken, Obi-wan's taken, Satine is taken... And Ventress-Ciaran is such an interesting ship.
She's biologically related to Ciaran ever since she got genemoded.

First bit is below, next bit is in the following interlude where Ciaran explains why she calls Asajj sister, and keeping in mind Ciaran is not a Nightsister she would not default to using sister in the way that they do.

The debate on how to crack the Temple's foundation is missing one thing. The only building as far above the horizon nearby is the business district around the Republic's government buildings. We just have to buy every building in the Undercity around the Temple, then move in drilling equipment, and drill out the foundation of the Temple. Then put a bomb there, clear the blast radius and watch the Jedi evacuate. Hell, we could spin it to be a CIS attack on the Temple fairly easily.

She'd almost have to step into that vacuum lest the Hutts or worse let it descend into warlordism.
If the Republic falls, then you've got the CNS, the CIS, and the Cartels excluding every potential petty warlord. The CIS's military largely rests in the hands of a amoral plutocratic corporate elite, for all that some of their civilians are pretty reasonable. The Cartels will smell blood in the water, and only some are at all interested in Ciaran's lighter hand style of crime. And the CNS isn't inherently interventionist and is largely Ciaran's Creature to boot.
Do I think she's become the legitimate head of state? Hell no. But I do think she'd be the chief architect of the CNS reuniting the tattered remnants and transitioning into a permanent galactic government. Then she can retire, let things largely run themselves, and proceed to write

Don't worry, it will be a few more interludes and a mini-arc to go, though we are likely to get more achievements out of those. But it took us a bit over a month to get through the interludes so far, so likely another month and a half or so to cover the rest.And so my work list grows
Back on the force wound, if we can get them to have to abandon the temple even if temporarily, is there anywhere on Coruscant we can set them up with a second temple? Also if we go that route I want to bring in the Ithorians to be responsible for setting up a good sized meditation garden for the Jedi. That should help with recovery somewhat and Ithorians are very skilled at integrating biomes into ships so I imagine that would carry over to a garden in a temple.

I have good news and bad news on that front.
Good News: per Dark Apprentice, there are apparently ski resorts at (at least one of) Coruscant's poles which would be easy to buy out and repurpose.
Bad News: probably decanonized in the wake of the prequels (given the book was written in 1994). Also, it's Kevin J Anderson, which, even if you could rely on it being canon, means you're including one of the worst EU authors in this quest's canon.
