OOC: Jedi Secure Communication Channels only. This is not a galactic wide address.
The holovid of her galactic address ended. Alex took one deep breath and immediately flipped on another. Suddenly, her voice would reach each member of the Jedi Order. “The Force has sought to test us. We will raise to that challenge just as we have faced every other. We are family and we will not fail.” The gravity in her voice was unmistakable. “But we must accept the reality of our challenges. We serve not because the galaxy cheers us on but because it is our duty. We will never abandon those who need us...but we cannot serve if we are gone.” The Force gave its strongest warriors the most difficult battles. “You must all come home. All Jedi must check in and report to the nearest Temple.” The Shadows would know to seek Ifrane or send word to the First Shadow. They could not afford to pull them out.
“Ossus and Lothal are lost. New Aldreen will be served by a skeleton crew. No Jedi will call it home.” Dantooine would remain the same. The greater protection of the Rebellion made that possible. Ifrane was known only to the Shadows and Brighthome was a Jedi secret. Still, she did not relish these choices. “The Fleet and Yavin will be our homes. The easiest to defend and move.” Again, she stepped towards the camera. “The Republic is closed to us. If you are caught within, there is nothing we can do…but we must continue to serve." Her meaning was quiet clear. Tread carefully if their path took them there. "This war will not end until the Empire is gone. I caution you all when choosing to visit their worlds or help their people.” She did not want Jedi taking risks they could avoid. A small breath.
“But Peace is not possible. I am sorry I ever thought it was. I swore to you, all of you, I would not see our Order become a weapon of war. A tool of a government. An army.” Alex paused as the very weight of her past settled on her shoulders. “I will not ask one of you to join me in this, but I intend to take the fight to them.” Sevrin, Crix, Emilia had risked their lives for freedom. Too often, they carried that burden alone. Alex reformed the Shadows to strike at the Sith. It was time to come at them from the Light. “The Jedi Guardians were reckless and foolish, but their hearts beat on the right path. An Army of the Light to banish the Darkness. No more waiting for the Sith to strike. No more waiting for the next blow. We are the hammer. I ask only for volunteers, only those who wish to serve. May the Force be with us.”
