"I wish to tell you that, as much as you don't want to believe, and as much as I wish it wasn't true, she's right." Cade said simply, once they were out of earshot of the Jedi and Linora, "I witnessed it myself. I did my best to apprehend the Jedi and organise some kind of rescue for the civillians, but there are still lives on my conscience because of what he did."
Cade paused a second to allow the gravity of his words to sink in as he contemplated how to continue. After exhaling deeply he decided to be as upfront as he could, "Master, I am not here to prove Katu's guilt. In fact, I'm not here to accuse him. I'm here to assure you that I have operated entirely for the good of the Jedi and the Force. And Katu was convinced what he was doing was right. He looked like a man possessed. I might suggest that there was more at work than just a twist in his philosophy. Sometimes events like this need to happen, you know that better than most, master. The Jedi and the Ospion cannot coexist, not in our time. This event, I believe, was a necessary catalyst."
