Dead Jedi, What To Do? (Osman, Thunger, COuncil)

[Trakon]

Osman led Thunger to the Council Chambers, where he knocked it loudly. He waited till the doors opened revealing the Council. Osman entered, and took the center of the Chambers.

"My former padawan Joshua Bailo has been killed. This was left with his body." Osman telekinetically lifted the holorecorder and stuck it into the Council's holoprojector, so all could see.

Joshua was standing before a firing guard, and someone was giving a speech. It was evidently someone of high rank, because every sentence ended with applause. Then the word 'Fire' was heard, and shots rang out. Shouts of happiness at this horrific death were heard and many people began jumping for joy.

"The Hutts have began giving money for the lives of Jedi. Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves from this?"

 

[Rev]

Sitting in the first seat to the left of the Grandmaster's seat, Jedi Master Rev Ultor sat, listening and watching. Rev's eyes focused on the young man in the center of the holovid as the shots opened up and there was nothing he could do to prevent the onslaught that followed. Looking around the room slowly, the Jedi Master could easily see the shock and pain on each of his fellow Council member's faces.

"We as Jedi know our duties Osman.. It saddens me to see such a young Knight fall at such an age and for the given reasons.. Though we as Jedi also know we are not respected in every sector of the Galaxy. We are hated by much of the universe, my young friend."

Taking in a slow breath, Rev looked at the floor that lay in the center of the chamber. Letting out his lungs he spoke once more.

"There is little we can do, until the Hutt mercenaries and followers step into Republic space we can only caution the exploration and travel to the outer rim."

Rev looked around at his fellow council members, waiting to see if any of them had input.

 

[Iorthunger]

Oviously disturbed by the situation, Thunger stood in the door way next to Osman. Thunger was clearly not in his 'right' or normal state of mind. He has experienced situations similar to this multiple times, however,it was not his apprentice in the previous events, therefore he did not feel it was his duty to protect his fellow jedi before. Now was a different time. Thunger is much more experienced and stronger with the force. At this time Thunger feels he should be protecting the Jedi, therefore taking all of the blame and guilt for Joshua's death. In Thunger's mind it was his fault this happened for he was not there to protect his apprentice.

I was not there to protect the young knight.... master... Ii,i.. have failed.....

...... We must all watch out for eachother, dark times are apporaching... I am sure of it.

Thunger words are jumbled and again he spoke in a voice foreign to his ownself.

 

[Rev]

Rev sat in his seat staring at Thunger, this man was very distraught from the situation, he needed guidance, it was more than obvious. Though he had not listened to the Jedi Master, perhaps he needed reassurance.

"Thunger, you are a great Jedi, and a Knight, just as Joshua Bailo had been. You both knew what is expected of the Jedi, we are the defenders of the universe, and at times we must sacrifice our lives, to save others. In this case Knight Bailo has given his life, so we know what is possible in Hutt Space."

Taking in a breath the Jedi Master stood from his seat and walked over to the two men who stood side by side.

"Osman, I wish I could tell you more, but there is little we can do in Hutt Space, when venturing to the outer-rim we must be cautious. Those are far from being Republic Controlled... we are the guests and in some cases the enemies out there."

Resting his hand on Thunger's shoulder the Jedi Master offered a reassuring smile.

"Live your life to it's potential my young friend. You are still a Jedi, and you can still make a great difference in this Galaxy, in this Universe... Remember that, live for Joshua Bailo as he has sacrificed his own life to lengthen ours. Should either of you need anything, do not hesitate to ask myself or a fellow council member for guidance."

Flashing that friendly smile once more, the Jedi Master turned and headed back towards the view ports which looked out over Coruscant. He was simply waiting for a question to be poised, or for the two men to exit.

 

[Will]

((I think i knighted you, didn't i?))

Huang Karasu moved out from the darkness, into his seat from the secret entrance.

''Knight Thunger, i did not train you to act in this way. Emotion, yet peace.''

He repeated the first line of the code to the recently resurfaced knight, hoping to knock him from this pointless spiral of self pity he was locked in.

 

[Trakon]

Osman, as it seems, is just now noticing thunger's condition.

"I suggest he see the healers as well. Maybe they can help him overcome this small stepping stone."
