It'll backfire, but if we're lucky, it'll backfire when we're too far too turn back but before things inevitably explode.

Please, people. We are three stress away from just... completely flying off the handle. We have been given an opportunity to burn nine stress in exchange for doing the most Anakin thing in the galaxy, and that thing doesn't even involve violence! And, sure, it's gonna bite us (and Iskat) in the butt, but so will embarking on a mission in this kind of state.

Wait, will picking this reduce our stress? I thought red options increased it.

Fully red options are choices that Anakin thinks will increase stress. He can be wrong. But choices with red brackets and the "You will give in to temptation..." in the description are Temptations, which reset our stress in exchange for doing something foolish and likely to backfire, like blowing up at the Jedi Council (or Ferus), or involving ourself in Obi-Wan and Grievous's bout (I recall us not having a lightsaber at the time, which is how foolish it was), or, well, allowing Iskat to stow away on a dangerous mission.

But you're still trying to push the Force into your movements, to use it to power your attacks."

"Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?" you ask, blinking in incomprehension.

"Not exactly," Obi-Wan says, which is a diplomatic way of saying "no, Anakin, you're wrong". "Think of it as if you're trying to steer an ancient sailing ship. You can't choose the direction of the wind or the currents of the ocean, but you can set a course that lets them move you towards where you want to go."

Your mouth narrows into a thin line. Jedi equanimity has its uses sometimes, but there's a very fine line separating it from just letting yourself get pushed around. And at times like these, when you're being preached to about how it's morally righteous to allow yourself to be buffeted this way and that by the vagaries of an uncaring galaxy, it's hard to even tell that there's a line at all.

Obi-wan is the most Jedi Fighter of Jedi Fighters. His entire special ability is "Jesus Take The Wheel".

"Right," you scoff. "And what other spacer legends did she run into out there? Captain Nova?

Sorry, no Mysterious Stranger equivalent, just the guy who shoots lasers from his hands.

Let's see you laugh when Albert Wesker is gloating about galactic saturation.

"We'll find her," you promise. "But what about the living starships? Can we bring one back?"

It seems that even with minium contact with Palpatine, Anakin is still misinterpreting nearly everyone.
(Also, does he really think Jedi's don't have friends? The code forbids being too attached to something over the Galaxy, not attachments in general)

Also, Also, Annie, buddy, pal, amigo, even if the Jedi took a bioship, how the fuck are they going to study it? Or pay for the equipment without tipping off the Senate? Or even build the new tech?
They're Space Monks, not engineers or scientists, hell, they don't even have a fucking workshop stocked enough for this, how the fuck do you think an Order of Space Wizard Monks are going to study new tech?

God, he is such a passive agressive brat at times, still a good guy most of the time, but a dumbase nonetheless, probably doesn't help that the Order is no longer equipped to handle non-baby new Jedi because of dumb rules that somehow work in reducing falls to the Darkside, or it could just be because of their not being any open Sith around that time, either or.

Wow, the Jedi Order are really not helping in preventing someone from falling, because of their hypocritical polices on fallen or near fallen Jedi.

Fuck it, let's help her out and lower the stress levels in what is definitely a horrible idea, because we're Anakin, and even a good Anakin makes stupid impulsive decisions a lot of time.
