[X] Ask Ferus for help.

We're gonna Stress Break. We are so going to Stress Break, but it has to be done. If the it will make our generation even the slightest fragment more prepared, it is worth any amount of Anakin's remaining nerves.
 
A full play by play will have to wait for when I have more time (Also @Kirook how did you find a way for me to like Garm MORE!)

For now, a couple quick hits:

1. This isn't a Jedi Politics question. This is a Jedi Warfare question. If we asked Aayla whether the ideological divide was not reform vs tradition but pacifism vs "sometimes justice comes delivered care of a carefully used lightsaber" and if the masters seemed more divided based on those lines, how would she respond?
2. Darra as Jedi Valedictorian before her trauma and Jedi Broken Ace after it sounds like exactly what drew me to her, on account of my having a similar story. Great writing by oblique mention.
3. If C-Span was this compelling about politics my parents wouldn't have used it as a punishment for staying up past my bedtime back in the day. A compelling narrative that weaves different pieces into a whole greater than its parts. Brilliant.
 
[X] You don't need him.

Well, we do, but I don't trust us to pull ourselves back from the Dark Side brink again if we have to deal with him, not on the edge of a stress break threshold and especially not one that's so high. Shame our choices have led us to this juncture.

We were just warned about winning at any cost. And most of the people we talked to in this update were already trying to help.

We shouldn't break our mental health by trying to make good with Ferus because we feel we have to!

We aren't the only people who are trying to make this work. We can afford to be selfish this once. Trying to always go all the way is just going to break things. Including Anakin and many others

I have turned back around on this. We have Siri Tachi his master what do we need him for? Take a breather and remember we're not the only ones fighting this. Besides, if Tachi doesn't mention us coming and collecting votes politely and diplomatically the next time the stuffed shirt grumps about us, I'll eat my cape.

Interesting theory! Let's see how it plays out.

We just had it pounded into our heads that the Jedi need to be a united front, not divided by factions and petty grievances.

However much Anakin personally dislikes him, Ferus is still a Jedi. This is not "victory at any cost." This is "I'm acknowledging that I need help."

Not at all what I would prefer, but not the worst place to take a blue check.

More importantly, the next box on the stress ticker is a Red one, which implies that even if this technically works, it's still going to have a bad effect and possibly make this a pyhrric victory.

It should also be noted, that the colors only indicate whether Anakin thinks it'd be stressful. Remember asking the Council for help was thought to be stressful, only to turn around with "Well, that was easy."
