"Have a seat, jedi... we have a lot to talk about" Tutek waved to the sofas in the sterile, white room, it reminded a bit of the kamino architecture, but was a lot more comfortable for the normal humanoids....
"I will just start off immidiatly. First, I want to update you on Master Shan, or swex as you call him, his situation.... besides the fractures told before, he has several broken ribs and skin is ripped off all over the body.. we will get him in one piece again, but he might loom way different...
We have to use technologies from his datapad, systems last used on the one called darth vader, but improved... he'll be semi-robotic when our men are done with him... but he'll be healed in days, rather than months or not at all
Now, what happened here, and on Talus...
First, we are members of the TA, or Teiravan Alliance.. we're outside of the republic, and unknown to it. Thousands of years ago we were members of the republic... but during the sith wars of naga sadow, and later Exar kun, fleeing dark jedi used the 7 systems of the TA for shelter...they killed our people, and the republi refused to help... Eventually we drove the dark ones away, and managed to remove ourself from republic databanks. The fact they never found us back, shows how little they cared.
We were broken, angered, from that moment on, we always prepared to get back on the republic..to bring them down. They couldn't help their member planets, without the republic, and with independent governments for all systems, conflicts like the sith back then, and the imps now, could be prevented... Three years ago, your master found us, he was looking for allies for his goal...neutral jedi, independent from the republic, the imps, from anyone. Independent from dark or light, ment to discover the true background of the force. To seek wisom only, and no more. But the republic would never allow them, he knew that. He approached us, and convinced us to try a diplomatic solution with the republic.. we agreed, and he built a new unbound force user order on our planets. He'll tell you about that when he's healed..."

Adonis leaned forward in his chair.
"What do you mean Neutral Jedi? How can a Jedi be between Good and Evil? It goes against our teachings."

"But our first attempts for diplomacy, weeks ago, failed... Our ships were heading for the core planet coruscant, but before they reached it, an apperantly imperial, according to Master Shan his descriptions, interdicted the ships, disabled them, and stole them. An unexperienced commander from our side could not prevent this, even the mighty condemnation itself was stolen... These imperials were led by a jedi...master
Black, semi-long hair, 2 sabers...magnificent force skills... that, along with some minor details, was what we got told before the commander was killed along with the rest of the crew. We checked the data we got from Master Shan, the description matched the jedi Alron Quilan... the one that if I understand my troopers report correctly, gave Master Shan this terrible damage. They also destroyed all security records, and used the voice recordings of Master Shan on board to imitate his voice on the radio, giving him the blame. We found the ships back days later, abanoned and emptied... why they left them is unknown, but they knew we wuld be blamed. Perhaps they chose not to take them to join the imperials to put the republic on a fake track.
Anyway, we decided to go for a new diplomatic discussion, but Coruscant was impossible to come for us now. We went for Reytha, relativly undefeded and pretty important...we expected them not to attack us, but before we knew what happened and could establish contact, the first laser shots hit us, planes were around, and an interdiction device on the planet made it impossible to hyperjump. One of our ships managed to jump at the moment the republic reinforcements came, the interdictor was disabled for a short while to prevent accidents... we tried to leave, but they were enabled before we could go, again...
We had no choise, if we wanted to survive, we had to invade the planet and destroy the interdictor..else they'd just send new waves time and time again, or hunger us out, or who knows what... We had to..no matter how we regret it...we had no other way out. I'm sorry..."

"Kid, you'll have to speak to Master Shan for that, but from what I understand from his speeched, the force is universal...it's all about your point of view to it if you see it light or dark... but I know no more
Other kid... Master Shan will hopefull be with us again tomorrow, when all systems are in place. He will explain his part of the story of what happened back there, and the UFU, to you. Once that is done, we hope you remember our story well, we don't want the republic to be misinformed with our objectives and will present aid to rebuild reytha and talus... if they accept diplomatic solutions from their side as well, and we won't be interdicted or attacked on sight anymore. Master Shan will talk about your faith afterwards with you, but I expect you can just go. For now, we will leave to a piece of deep space...before more republics come"
The Condemnation would be the first into hyperspace, the TA 1 would follow 5 minutes afterward, alongside with the TA2. The trenchant would await the troops to leave reytha, or would flee upon serious treat.
"Do not forget the coffee, Trenchant.." one of the officers said on the dataweb connection
"Roger that, we'll bring it while it's hot"

"So what, we just wait around here until tomorrow?"
Adonis asked, preturbed by the comment "Kid". He's 19 years old already, but still treated like he's 13!

Jim sits there, waiting for the answer to Adonis's question, unpreturbed by Tutek calling him a kid.

"Yes, basically, you do. You can train here, you can meditate, and all your wishes in the from of food or drinks will be presented. I will remain here to make sure that all yor questions can be answered, I want no misconceptions about the TA...we have been trough enough already last weeks. We expect Master Shan to join us tomorrow. Meanwhile, make yourself comfortable... oh, no need to try anything nasty...not that I expect you to, but the room can be locked and vacuumed in seconds."
The Condemnation jumped out of hyperspace somewhere in the unknown regions, far from all the fights...
((don't worry about the comment, a teiravan can get up to 300 years old naturally, therefor 19 is very, very young for them
oh, I'm off btw, i shall be back tomorrow...with swex domokun ))

Before Tutek left, Adonis needed one more question semi answered.
"Why do you call Master Swex, Shan? Which is his real identity? And exactly where are we headed?"

Rhiannon calmly looked about her new surroundings, trying to imprint every detail into her mind. Well, that plan of Jim's for escaping was now becoming completely impossible. They didn't even know where they were anymore, and Jim's ship was probably very, very far away right now.
Slowly Rhiannon pulled out her amber pendant from her robes and held it tight. Neutral jedi? How could a jedi be neutral? The force could be used in only two ways, light and dark. It could not be manipulated to be somewhere in the middle, no matter who the person was. But...all of this was interesting. Could someone actually use both light and dark sides of the force, without ever turning to one side? To be able to do so could quell the ever lasting war between light and dark...
'What am I thinking?' Rhiannon wondered and mentally shook herself. The only path was light, no matter what others thought. The light was the only true path.

Neutral Jedi, neutral Jedi, neutral Jedi...where did he hear that before? He knew he heard it somewhere before. Then it came to him. His old masters words. The neutral Jedi employ both sides of the Force without turning drastically to either side. They're quite a force to be reckoned with, young Jim, quite a force. That was when Jim was 10. He's now 13. And R7 was waiting for him outside the door.

"Neutral Jedi....Often reffered to as 'Gray Jedi' by others in the universe. Somone who is able to manipulate both sides of the Force without falling to Light or Dark. Jedi like these are often powerful from the start, but some go insane from the powers given to them and fall into darkness nonetheless"
Zeth spoke from the darkness, his silver eyes illuminating in the shadows. He didn't really care where this ship was going or what was going to happen to them. All paths lead down the path of death to him, No matter what the situation.

So that was the catch. The possiblity of going insane. Wait, someone could go insane because of the force? But the ability to control both sides without falling to either one...it seemed....impossible, yet possible. Yet, it seemed obvious that neutral jedi existed. They were able to understand all parts of the force without falling to one or the other. Why wasn't that taught to all jedi? Would it not benefit everyone as a whole if there were no more fighting between jedi?
The dark side killed while the light healed. Knowing the dark ways would only lead to the pain and suffering of others. The light protected the people and kept them safe and happy. That was the only true way, wasn't it?
((I'm starting to question her loyalties... smile ))

Jim had always been fascinated with Gray Jedi when he was younger. Every day he would ask his master about the Gray Jedi. 'Why are they so powerful? How come they don't go to one side of the Force or the other without going mad?' And every day he would have his questions answered. Except for one. That was the day his master died. Jim had been anticipating the day he would meet a Gray Jedi. Now he has the chance to be one. But why was he so unsatisfied. Because it's not my choice. I'm being forced to become one.
