Nar Shaddaa

"And this is our garden." She gestured to the... garden. "It's all fairly basic... not much to show, sadly. The Temple on Coruscant is a completely different." She gestured wildly. She felt sheepish. "I am boring you, aren't I?" She asked Durasay.

Satele is nearby working through a morning exercise of stretches and meditation.

"No, not at all." He smiled at her, walking with Alysele through the tour. His hands were folded behind his back, his eyes focused on her.

"It's rather nice, and very different from the rest of the moon. Kind of tranquil, really."

"Well... I can see that." She smiled. "Oh, hello Master Shan." She gestured towards the blue man. "This is Durasay Mixo. He is a Force Sensitive who has been helping me with the investigation into the Red God Nikto cult."

"A pleasure." He gave the noted Jedi a respectful bow. There was that lingering darkness deep within him from the night before, tempered by the relief of Huttball.

The war hero. Some had said the greatest Jedi who lived. He stood, respectfully watching.

Baesal walked around to find the Jedi Master about her new 'problem' when she noticed her, Alysele and the...new blue guy? Huh, well...no matter

She carefully approached the Jedi Master

Satele greets the newcomer and says, “It is a pleasure to meet you Durasay, the Jedi are thankful for your diligence and your dedication to aiding the citizens of Nar Shaddaa. I am honored to meet you.”

She adds to Baesal, “Morning Baesal.”

''Good morning Master Shan...'' she hesitated ''May I have a word with you?''

Baesal Zyn wrote:''Good morning Master Shan...'' she hesitated ''May I have a word with you?''

Satele nods and turns to Baesal, “What is it, is everything okay Baesal?”

She got closer to the master and whispered

''One of my possessions...that I had brought back from Korriban....apparently contained an ancient A.I programmed to destroy the Rakatan Infinite Empire. It uploaded itself into the web without my knowledge and now may seek to kill all life in the Galaxy''

She made quite a face

''Of course, it might have been joking...but you know...''

Satele frowns and says, "Well... that is not how I wanted to start the morning, do you have any other toys from Korriban that may be of interest to the Jedi Council?"

It is obvious she isn't pleased by the news.

She looked supremely apologetic

''Well...that was a rakatan database...I did not know it was in there when I brought it here.''

"Understandable, is there anything else that could hold surprises? Your master speaks highly of you and your talents and I am inclined to agree but there are concerns on the Council that you are far too close to the Sith," she replies.

"Your emotions are... strong. I believe in you Baesal but you have to do better, we all do."

She bit her lip and looked down

''Perfection is never attained, always pursued...but I don't think there is anything else right now.''

Was there something else? She did not think about it in the moment.

Satele sighs and says, "I am not going to press you on your connections but you are walking a dangerous path. I know connections for young Jedi are important, relationships are... difficult to maintain but I am concerned. Attachments, deep ones can cloud judgment. I know from experience."

''I know...but nothing worthwhile is ever easy or without risks'' she scratched her nose

''I...I'll leave you to your exercises Master Shan''

"But is it worthwhile," she counters.

"It isn't just your your life, it is the life of others I worry about as well. She may not harm you, but if she harms others due to your connection to her... I just hope that does not come to pass. Friendship is not an easy thing to carry when you are on opposites of the war."

''I...I know...'' she breathed deeply

''But on a purely logical basis all of what I do for her can be done through somebidy else. Cutting myself from her won't change what she does...it will only mean that I won't speak to her anymore''

“I only offer guidance; you decide what is best for you Baesal. I hope you choose wisely,” she offers with comfort.

Baesal nods and looks back up

''I am sorry to have disturbed you so early on''

"It's fine, we will deal with the... AI," she says not even sure where to start on that.

''I'll study the rakatan device, she tried to delete something when she left.''

she frowns

''Maybe there is something in there she did not want us to find''

“Alright, may the Force be with you,” she says before turning her attention to Alysele and her guest.

Well, that was interesting. Or scary. Or either. Or both.

"I hope it is not an issue that I invited him along, but I believed Dursay would enjoy such a tour." She glanced at him.

Rogue AI free through the holonet? Sounded like something off a big budget holovid. Or a low budget knockoff one. He remained quiet as he listened.

Closeness to the Sith? Curious about this Togruta.

"I only do what anyone would who sees the downtrodden and justice being undone. I act." He smiled at the Jedi master, keeping his stance at parade rest. "Lady Cortess has been extremely helpful with that duty, I've been lucky the Force had our paths cross."
