Almost Alone in the Dark, [Viera]

[Viera]

"A man who knows a great many things..." She said simply, her calm restoring to her even as the anger teemed into her mind. His words fueled it, this planet fueled it, this entire forsaken place fueled it and amplified it beyond what it should have been. She wasn't a Jedi, not anymore, she had long since left that life behind her but she had always teetered just on the line between dark and light.

That was until she lost her balance. She would use whatever methods she deemed necessary to put an end to corrupt Jedi, the murdering traitors and liars. To kill simply because they had known love, when the Jedi were taught to show compassion for all beings. Was it not hypocritical? To deny them emotion and then tell them that they must be compassionate to all? Was that not emotion?

"You are a Sith.." She said rather flatly, though not holding a tone of resentment. What she said was more or less an educated guess, given his knowledge, his power, and the darkness of the place which he had brought her and the way he spoke. He was no doubt the Sith which the Jedi had for years proclaimed to of been gone from the Galaxy, the very same man which would play a pivotal role in her revenge she felt.

"...Aren't you.." She finished cooly, eyes scanning over to the man in the dark robes.

[Senator Palpatine]

"Correct... You're feelings serve you well." The man walked to the second coffin, and stood before it. A moment passed in silence before an arm broke from the robes, and then a finger extended from the robes, pale and wrinkled. It drifted through space until coming into contact finally with the glass casing of the coffin. The cold from the preservation system bit his finger, but he held it there. The voice came tremulously "Now that you know who I am, you know what I want, know what we want." He turned to face her, digit and limb falling back into assimilation with the dark robes. "What do you plan to do?" He began to walk at a diagonal to her, making his way for the door. "You are powerful, yes, but are you powerful enough to destroy the jedi on your own? Not to mention the Republic, though those stuffy fools wouldn't stand a chance, not without an army. Though sometimes an army is as burdening as the lack of one, as we may see in the near future." He grinned, wrapped up in his ego, his plan, in which, he saw the galaxy as a whole spread out before him, and became temporarily blind to the immediate world. He shook himself loose of his fantasy, and turned his robed head to look at the fallen angel before him. "Tell me, do you have a plan? Because attempting to do something as...ambitious as destroying the second oldest order in the history of the galaxy without a plan sounds a little bit...doomed." The grin held intact on the face.

She had to ponder for a moment, arms crossed firmly over her chest her thoughts falling into an interesting bit of calm despite the current situation. It was amusing to her that this Sith seemed to think that she was powerful, though she was not entirely so sure her self given how easily his henchmen had apprehended her and brought her to this place without even so much as a whisper but if he thought she was powerful, well, who was she to argue.

The problem of the Jedi and Republic was one too greater for a lone ex-jedi with a grudge to take on, even if she 'was' now acquainted with a Sith such as this man but alas there were other forces at work in the universe, her breath coming out cooly as she closed her eyes and relaxed. Falling into an almost trance like meditation as she stood there, only to open her eyes a moment later.

"Not all forces in this Galaxy gravitate to the Republic...There are those who, given the right persuasion, might be compelled to...break away...from such an old and decaying system.." She mused out loud, tapping her cheek in deep thought before dropping her one hand back to her side and giving a coherent nod "Perhaps it is possible....Though they would need some kind of insurance, something that opposed the Jedi watch-dogs that the Republic so love....Do you have any suggestions?" Mused the ex-jedi some more, her eyes drifting across the room to the Sith Lord in question.

If she could learn what he knew, then perhaps taking on the Jedi was not such a foold errand. She had heard tales of Sith of old who brought both the Republic and the Jedi Order to it's knees in times long past.
