Nomi Sunrider gathered the Jedi Council together, inviting the Jedi Padawans and Jedi Initiates to participate in this most urgent discussion as well.
"You all know why we are here. It seems that the Sith were not all destroyed when Sith Lord Kyp Durron was blown out into the vacuum of space, as I originally thought. Somehow, somewhere in the galaxy, there still must have been at least one Sith still standing. But we know from the security recordings that there are at least two now, a Master and an Apprentice. These Sith killed Masters Vrook and Vandar while they were viewing the Sith Holocron. That Holocron has now been stolen as well. With the communications disruption, and other attacks on the defense systems of Coruscant, we know that they are planning to invade. While we are out of communication with nearby Star Systems and sensor grids, the corridors between Star Systems are now dangerous to travel. There could be rogue comets or asteroids, pockets of metreon gas, or other bits of space debris which are no longer being identified by the sensor network. If our ships travel through Hyperspace and end up colliding with any of these pockets of matter, there won't be anything left of our ships.
As such, we are alone. The Republic has been at peace for so long, and the Senate has not approved the use of Galactic funds for a garrison defending Coruscant, that we are the only capable Star Destroyer within range of the Capitol. That means it's up to us to defend Coruscant with our lives. There are several hundred Jedi Fighters in the Hangar Bays, and this ship is equipped with the most powerful shields the Republic has ever built. Even by ourselves, we are a formidable defense. But we suspect that the Sith have somehow sneaked aboard, and that presents a grave danger to us all, and a grave danger to the Republic. This is an emergency situation. We believe the Sith are actually some of our own... though it pains me to say it, I witnessed the power of the Dark Side firsthand in my last encounter with the Sith. In the end, the Jedi had turned against themselves. The Dark Side will turn our friends and allies against each other, and it must be stopped, whatever the cost.
I have communed with Grandmaster Yoda, who spoke to me from the Netherworld of the Force. He told me that for lack of better options, we must keep our faith in the Light Side of the Force. He reminded me of what I said the last time this happened... 'a Jedi's life is sacrifice'. These words will have new meaning for you today. We must search our feelings, and trust them to guide us down the path. If we sense that one of us has turned to the Dark Side, then we must act immediately. The survival of the Republic is at stake. We must take the most drastic measures to rid ourselves of the Sith. If it has been determined by a plurality of the Jedi Council, including the Padawans and Initiates, that one of us is a Sith Lord, then they are to be captured and dragged to the nearest air lock, and cast into space. I seem to remember that last time, this did not always kill our Sith foes, and we needed to repeat the exercise until they were finally put to rest. But if necessary, some of us are currently armed with lightsabers. If we must resort to violence to bring the Force back into balance, then we must. Some of the more rigid rules of the Jedi Code are going to be relaxed for the duration of this mission. If we do not stop the Sith, there will be no more Jedi to obey the Code anyway.
Begin making your accusations. I must retire to my quarters and meditate on this some more. Tonight, I will ask some of you to come train with me in a secluded location of the ship, and I will teach you more from the Jedi Holocron. May the Force be with us all."
With that, she turned and walked to the turbolift, accompanied by two Jedi Masters. The other Jedi began to discuss who among them might be guilty.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, next to one of the unused hangar bays. Through the airlock, it opened up into a huge contained space, where larger shuttles would dock. In that chamber, the only thing separating the pressurized environment from the vacuum of space was a vast force field, and the massive hangar bay doors. Nomi entered her security password, and the hangar bay doors began to open.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they were undecided, having narrowed it down to two potential candidates. Neither candidate managed to garner very many votes, either. Many Jedi abstained from voting altogether, seemingly unconvinced that this path was the correct way to solve the mystery of the Sith.
"No we have not, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.
"Who are the leading candidates?" Nomi said.
"Mas Amdu Kof, and Jacin Sky, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the two suspects to plead their case.
Jacin Sky: "This Reptilian scoundrel is no true Jedi. He seems to fear death. Fear leads to anger, and he has shown himself to be very angry with this entire proceeding!"
Mas Amdu Kof: (puffing his cheeks) "This is an outrage! The Hyoo-mon is provoking me! The only reason why he's even accusing me is because a bunch of others accused him. It is not I, Grandmaster, who fears death, but him! I am ready to give my life for the Jedi Order." (Mas Amdu snaked his tongue out at Jacin Sky, and flicked it up and down)
Nomi Sunrider shook her head. "Is this any way for Jedi to behave? Control yourselves, gentlemen. How do we resolve this situation? I wanted a clear decision, and I'd rather not leave the life of a Jedi up to a matter of chance."
Mas Amdu Kof: "I've been preparing for this moment since I began growing this beard. Allow me to settle this with a lightsaber, Grandmaster Nomi. May the better Jedi prevail." (puffing his cheeks)
Jacin Sky: "Grandmaster, I do not agree with this course of action. This is barbarism, pure and simple."
Nomi Sunrider nodded. "I do not like resolving things this way, Master Sky. That is why I asked for a clear plurality, so that we could perform this necessary act in the most civil and non-violent way possible. Instead, you have forced my hand, and because I do not gamble with the lives of fellow Jedi, this matter can only be resolved in a contest of skill with the lightsaber and knowledge of the Force. May the Force be with you, Master Sky."
Nomi turned and addressed Kof. "I will grant your request, Master Kof. You may borrow my lightsaber for this contest; may the Force be with you as well. Here are the ground rules: You must both enter the hangar bay from opposite ends, taking with you only your lightsabers and your knowledge of the Force. You will not tear this ship apart in your duel, focus only on each other. When your opponent yields, I encourage you to follow the Jedi Code and spare his life. However, if you feel your opponent will stop at nothing to kill you, you may defend your life with necessary action. You will not prolong his suffering, but make a clean cut which brings instant and painless death. Is that fully understood, gentlemen?"
Both combatants nodded grimly. Nomi handed Mas Amdu Kof her green Lightsaber. Jacin Sky flew down the corridor to the opposite end of the hangar bay, to approach from that end.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...enance-001.png
Lightsaber Battle: Raskolnikov versus pevergreen
Jacin Sky entered from the port side of the hangar bay, and Mas Amdu Kof entered from the starboard side. The hum of the force field several hundred feet away, and the roar of the life support systems overhead were the only sounds to be heard. Mas Amdu Kof bowed respectfully to Jacin Sky, and then ignited Nomi Sunrider's green lightsaber, and curled up into a meditative stance, focusing mind and body for battle.
Jacin Sky stood in a standard Form III defensive pose, saber above his head, and waited for the reptilian creature to get on with it. Without warning, the snake-like creature uncoiled, and rushed in a zig-zag pattern across the empty hangar bay with blinding speed. Jacin had no way of knowing if the creature would attack from the left or the right. Reacting quickly, Jacin Sky performed a backward force-assisted leap, braced himself against the port side of the hangar bay, and launched himself over the head of the twin-tailed Kof. Mas Amdu swung the brilliant green saber, missing Jacin Sky by mere inches.
Mas Amdu turned around, easily rotating his limber body 180 degrees without a moment's hesitation, and located his opponent in the middle of the hangar bay, still in the Form III defensive pose, this time seemingly ready for his attack. The two combatants rushed one another, and the green sabers met each other with the familiar clashing noise. Mas Amdu Kof was clearly the aggressor, pressing Jacin Sky backward. Jacin, for his part, deflected the reptilian's attacks with ease, giving ground but matching him swing for swing with a minimum of extra movement.
Jacin suddenly looked left, with surprise and alarm, sensing danger. Mas Amdu felt it too, and twisted his body around suddenly to meet the new threat, lightsaber at the ready.... but nothing was there. Taken by surprise, Mas Amdu felt the searing heat of a lightsaber slicing clean through one of his tails. Mas Amdu roared with contempt, and twisted around before Jacin Sky could do any further damage, meeting his lightsaber before it made the killing blow.
"That will grow back, you know. I can't say the same for your appendages when I am finished with you, Sky." growled Kof.
"Yield now. There's nothing left to prove here."
"This is only the beginning!" shouted Kof, who tapped even deeper into the force.... summoning Force Valor. He continued the assault on Sky, but the balance of power had shifted. Mas Amdu was moving faster and more aggressively than before, and his movements were more precise, more deadly, and more difficult to deflect. Jacin Sky tapped into his more advanced training, and dodged ever more swiftly and performed more agile maneuvers to duck the wild, powerful swings of his opponent. One such swing grazed his hair, burning off a few inches of it. That one could have been lethal.
"You've become very strong, Kof.... but your training is incomplete. You must yield! Now!" demanded Sky.
"You're one of them, Sky! You're one of the Sith, and I will prove it to them. You cannot deceive me, hyoo-mon! You're going to pay for the Jedi you've killed!" roared Kof.
"That's enough!! I order you to stand down!" barked Sky.
"Never! I will not be commanded by Sith SCUM!!!!" replied the reptilian, forcing Jacin Sky into a corner of the hangar bay, and raising up on his long, muscular tail, towering over Jacin Sky, reaching several meters in height, blocking all escape routes. There was no way out but through. Kof swung Nomi Sunrider's green saber as hard as he could, and Jacin Sky closed his eyes.
The lightsaber deflected off of Jacin Sky's shoulder, causing a deep wound, but not cutting clean through. The sudden impact jerked the green saber backward in Mas Amdu Kof's hand, causing him to lose his grip. His reptilian claws could not grip the unfamiliar blade properly. Jacin Sky wasted no time, bringing his own saber through the wrist of Mas Amdu, then twisting his body and delivering a horizontal cut which separated the huge reptilian from the lower half of his body. Nomi's lightsaber went clattering to the ground, as the reptilian man tried to slither out of range of Jacin Sky's attack. The reptile reached out with the Force, and pulled the lightsaber back to him with his remaining hand, igniting it as it reached his grip. He rolled over to see Jacin Sky flying through the air, landing directly over his prone body, delivering another clean cut, removing the reptile's other hand. Mas Amdu Kof spat furiously at his Jedi opponent, and vowed that it wasn't over.
"I am not finished with you, Sky! In just a few moments, I'll have all my limbs back, and then I will have my revenge."
"When did you lose your way, Kof?" demanded Sky.
"It's not me who has lost his way, hyoo-mon! Do it, you coward.... you found your way to escape death, but you cannot fool me. Now show the Jedi your true nature.... finish me!"
"It's not the Jedi way. It's not my way." said Sky.
"Liar." hissed Kof, just as his tail began to regenerate, and summon his lightsaber again. The weapon landed tightly in the coiled grip of the bearded reptilian, who looked at Jacin Sky with victorious eyes.
The sound of a lightsaber cutting through flesh, and another clattering to the ground, echoed throughout the hangar bay. The Jedi had been slain.
_________
Jacin rolled back to his feet, and looked back at his fallen opponent. He had delivered the killing blow just in time, and removed the reptile's head cleanly. His shoulder was a little worse for wear, but it was nothing that the medical droids couldn't fix. He bowed to his fallen opponent, and switched his saber emitter off, and collected Nomi Sunrider's lightsaber from the hangar deck, and walked back to her to return it.

NOTE: All genders will be referred to as "he" for the purposes of maintaining both a readable story and keeping true identities hidden. If gender becomes apparent, it will be reflected in the writeup, but unless otherwise stated, "he" could mean male or female. Blame the English language for having very few gender-neutral pronouns to choose from. Further, Sith are not above using male or female identities as cover roles. Gender means nothing in this game.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Wednesday, October 27th, Eastern Time USA
Kerren Kae was heading back to his quarters after training under the tutelage of Nomi Sunrider. There was just enough time left before the morning shift to get some sleep. It had been a long and stressful day. He felt as if he was being watched, so he began to hurry. When he turned the corner and started down the next corridor, he looked up and he saw that the corridor lights had been disabled, and a cloaked figure blocking the hall. The being ignited its lightsaber, and a brilliant red glow illuminated the corridor.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/h2mO4ZHWK-U?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/h2mO4ZHWK-U?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Kerren Cae was not armed with a saber, and turned around to retreat the way he came, down the side corridor, but the blast doors slammed shut as if commanded by an unseen power. The dark figure approached, holding his blade in a classic Form I pose. Kerren Cae bolted down the main corridor in the opposite direction, but the blast doors on the far side were shut as well. "What's wrong, Jedi? Forget your lightsaber?" laughed the dark figure. Kerren Cae dropped to the floor and began to meditate. "Not even going to fight back? What a joke. Very well, if the little bantha wants to be slaughtered, that's fine with me." The dark figure cackled as he advanced, swinging the crimson blade, gouging holes in the duranium deck plating with ease, showering the meditating Jedi with sparks. The creature raised his blade, and prepared to impale it straight through Kerren Cae's chest, when suddenly Kerren's eyes opened and he rolled to the side, missing certain death by the tiniest fraction of a second. Kae kicked the lightsaber out of the hands of his attacker, and rolled backwards and into a standing position, fists raised.
The Sith was upon him in an instant, powered by a burst of force energy that made him move faster than the eye could see, especially in the darkness. A palm outstretched, the blow landed in the center of the Jedi's chest, knocking him backward and into the blast door, almost knocking him out cold. The Sith reached for his lightsaber and pulled it toward him with the Force, only to be tackled from behind by the unarmed Jedi. The two force-sensitives grappled as they rolled on the deck, the crimson blade slamming repeatedly into the deck, melting the metal and burning the robes of the two combatants. Kerren grasped the Sith's blade and tried to force it back and away from his face, but the Sith shifted positions and slammed the Jedi back down onto the deck, and pushed down with his full weight, trying to decapitate Cae.
Cae lifted his legs and threw the Sith off of him and over his head, both of them still gripping the saber. They rolled laterally into an upright position and tried to pry each other's hands off of the weapon. The Sith looked at Cae, eyes burning with hatred. Cae merely concentrated on tearing the weapon away from the Sith. The Sith grinned, baring its inhuman fangs, and rose up off of the ground, still clinging to its weapon, but releasing the grip ever so slightly. The Jedi braced himself and tore the weapon away from the Sith as hard as he could, just as the Sith released it voluntarily, causing the Jedi to roll backwards and out of range, and the crimson emitter to shut off automatically. The Sith laughed. "What are you going to do now, Jedi? Surely you don't know how to use such a weapon? Why don't you give it back to me, before you hurt yourself?"
Kerren didn't listen to the taunting of the Sith, and retained his focus. He switched the crimson blade back on, and began moving clumsily toward the dark figure, blade raised. The creature simply laughed and gathered dark Force energy, and unleashed it in the direction of the Jedi hopeful. Kerren reacted quickly, artfully dodging the attack and running up the side of the corridor wall, to avoid being hit by the close-quarters blast. The Jedi was only a dozen feet away from the Sith now, charging as fast as he could. The dark figure released another volley, which knocked the crimson blade out of Kerren's hands. The Sith reached out and grabbed the Jedi, and used his own momentum to hurl him down the corridor, slamming his head against the blast door control panel. The blast doors slid open, giving Kerren the opportunity to escape. He pulled himself out of a daze and tried to escape, just as a third blast of dark energy hit him in the back, ripping his body apart and shattering bone. Kerren Cae was killed instantly.
The Sith called his lightsaber back to him, and walked calmly back into the darkness, slightly displeased that his robes had gotten singed.
______________________
Si-At Unesh was elsewhere on the Star Destroyer, silently meditating by himself, watching the stars from an observation room. He heard the sound of the door sliding open, and heard a figure enter the room with him. Si-At said nothing, and did not even turn around.
"You will look me in the eye, Jedi, so I can remember your face long after you've met your death." commanded the dark figure. The elderly man ignored the command. The dark figure ignited its red lightsaber, and repeated the order. "Turn around and meet your destiny." Si-At continued to say nothing, and silently meditated. "Very well, if you will not turn around, then you will meet your destiny like a coward." The dark figure lifted a hand, and all the chairs and tables in the room flew against the starboard bulkhead, with a loud crashing noise, leaving only the meditating Jedi and the Sith, and empty deck space. The figure held his saber in a Form III stance, and grinned as he prepared to destroy the Jedi.
Si-At rose at last, and turned to face his attacker, unleashing a stream of positively-charged particles, attempting to stun the dark figure, but they were easily dispersed with no ill effect. "What? Is that all you've got, you foolish old man? Don't worry, I'll put you out of your misery, just hold still...." Si-At rolled to dodge the swing of the blade, and attempted to run out of the observation room, but the door slid shut before he could escape. He turned and unleashed another stream of positively-charged particles, again with no effect. The Sith just cackled and cut the old man down, severing him from the middle of his chest to the opposite shoulder, killing him instantly.

Jax Revus had almost returned to his quarters after a busy night, but when he tried his door code, he found that it had been changed without his permission. He snarled in frustration. Then, without warning, he sensed danger and looked around, startled.
"Do you need some assistance, Master Revus?" said a voice from behind him. Jax immediately began to smile and regard his fellow Jedi warmly. "Why yes, it seems my door code has been changed. Do you know how to unlock it, Master....?"
"What's wrong, don't you recognize me?" asked the unknown figure.
"....my memory isn't what it used to be. Your species all look alike to me, and I have trouble remembering names. No offense intended, Master."
"None taken." grinned the figure. He ignited his purple lightsaber.
Revus was taken by surprise by this move, and slowly backed away. "Surely it won't be necessary to cut the door open, Master.... I'll just change the code down at the Security station. Thanks again for your help."
"No..... no..... not at all. I insist." grinned the figure, as he walked menacingly toward Revus. At this point Revus frowned and ignited his yellow lightsaber. "Who are you, really, Master Jedi?" asked Revus. "I could ask you the same question, Master Revus."
Revus' eyes began to darken, and he snarled again. "Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?"
"You've demonstrated a mastery of the obvious, Master Revus." remarked the figure.
"Very well. Killing another Jedi tonight won't exactly be a stain on my conscience...." cackled Jax Revus, as he ignited a second lightsaber, in his other hand, a crimson one.
The figure with the purple saber stopped grinning, suddenly realizing that $#!% just got real.
"What's wrong, Master Jedi? Didn't you come to kill a Sith? What makes you hesitate? Could it be that cowardly Jedi fear welling up inside you? Perhaps you feel pained by the news of the death of your fallen comrade? Or perhaps you've got a hangnail? DO YOU MISS YOUR MOMMY???"
"Why don't you shut your mouth, before I remove it from your skull?" sneered the Jedi.
"Oh ho ho ho! I see that unlike some of the other... pathetic... life forms on this ship, you actually have some iron. I like that. It's such a shame I'm going to have to kill you." lamented the Sith, sarcastically.
"I wouldn't count on it, you Pakuunian Pig-rat." spat the figure.
"What language, Master Jedi. Did they teach you that in finishing school? And what does the Jedi code say about murdering people without a trial? Do you really think the Council is going to let you get away with this?" taunted the Sith.
"Why don't you just shut up and die, traitor?"
"Good, Master Jedi. There might be hope for you yet. Use your aggressive feelings, you miserable blood-worm. Let go of your Jedi training.... do what must be done. That is the way of the Sith. Perhaps you should consider a career change?"
"Perhaps you should consider what your LAST WORDS are going to be!" shouted the attacker, as he raised his purple saber in a Form III pose, and began to strike at his target. The Sith raised his lightsabers in a Form I stance, and began to defend himself against the quick, precise swings of his attacker. The Sith countered all of them easily, albeit giving ground in the process, and continued grinning grimly.
"Good.... you have controlled your fear. Now, release your anger. Only your hatred can destroy me, Master Jedi."
"Or perhaps he can." said the figure, smugly, looking behind the Sith.
"What? More pathetic sheep to be slaughtered? Outstanding! My master will be so pleased." said the Sith, as he turned his head, but there was no one there. The sound of a lightsaber cutting through bone startled the Sith, who looked and saw that his yellow lightsaber, and the hand that was holding it, had been removed. "How??? That's impossible! ...YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT, YOU WRITHING MASS OF RANCOR DROPPINGS!!!"
The figure with the purple lightsaber just grinned wickedly. "I don't think so."
The Sith tossed his red saber into the air, and made a violent pushing motion towards his attacker, shoving him down onto the deck with a massive Force Push, and then caught his saber and swung at the prone figure, just as he rolled out of the path of danger. Sparks flew everywhere, as the Sith advanced, preparing to slaughter the impudent wretch. The figure with the purple lightsaber rolled to his feet, and immediately charged the Sith, swinging his saber in a bright purple blur. The evenly-matched foes battled for some time, but the attacker gained the upper hand by wearing down his opponent. There was only so much the Sith could do to defend with his remaining hand. In an instant, a powerful clash of the sabers forced his blade down, and a quick twist of the wrist caused the Sith's arm to be separated at the shoulder. Then his attacker kicked him in the teeth, knocking him down. The Sith simply laughed at the victorious figure looming over him.
"Let your passions control you. Take your Jedi weapon, strike me down with it, and take my place at my Master's side. Soon, your journey toward the Dark Side will be complete."
"I wouldn't count on that either, you Sith scum." grinned the figure, as he lowered the purple saber into the Sith's throat.

Elsewhere, Jacin Sky returned to his quarters, exhausted from a long night of activity. When he entered, he sensed that something was wrong, and sure enough the doors closed and locked by themselves. A blue lightsaber ignited, in the darkness, and the assassin charged toward Jacin Sky, holding his blade in a manner associated with Form II. Jacin Sky ignited his lightsaber as well, and the two combatants began to duel furiously. They were evenly-matched, meeting each other swing for swing, step for step.
In the dark, Jacin could not see his attacker, and his attacker said nothing. Jacin's training wasn't able to force an escape... and so he had to improvise. They fought on, Jacin giving ground and his assailant pursuing. Jacin was backed into his furnishings, and was forced to walk across a giant glass tabletop. The movement was fluid and steady, and the action continued as they fought across its surface. Suddenly Jacin ducked a swing, and impaled the saber through the tabletop, shattering it under the weight of the two combatants. They both fell to the ground, as the figure with the blue lightsaber tried to make his killing blow.... but no one was there. He looked around, trying to locate Sky, and then noticed that the door to Jacin's quarters had been cut open, and Jacin had escaped. His attacker didn't even see him leave.
______________________
Much later on that night, Carnus Daye woke from his rest, feeling an uncomfortable weight on his chest. For an instant, he thought he might be having a heart attack, but the sudden flash of a red lightsaber igniting under his chin caused him to freeze, and realize that an assassin was literally lying right on top of him, staring him coldly in the face.
"I couldn't sleep anyways, could you?" smirked the assassin.
"Actually, I...." began the sleepy Jedi.
"SHUT UP! That was a rhetorical question. Now, something has been on my mind ever since we arrived on this Star Destroyer... and that's you. I just find you so fascinating." The assassin leaned forward, breathing those words into the face of the sleepy Jedi, in a lustful tone. "I want to know everything about you, Master Jedi. Your thoughts.... your feelings.... which of the other Jedi you think are cute.... if you ever want to have children, that sort of thing. Oh, and by the way, ARE YOU SITH???"
Carnus Daye: "Well, actually, I am not. Could you get off of me? Maybe... point that thing someplace else?"
Assassin: "Oh I rather like pointing it at you, Master Jedi. I like it a lot. You see, I've been under a lot of stress lately, and this whole Sith thing is just making it worse. I can't sleep, and if I can't sleep, no one sleeps, and I can't sleep until I find the Sith.... or someone else equally amusing. Now, Master Jedi, if that is your real identity, you'll answer this one question for me, and MAYBE I will let you live...." the assassin lowered the lightsaber until it was directly above the throat of the sleepy one.
Carnus Daye: "Sure, sure, whatever you say... I'll talk!" yelped the would-be victim.
Assassin: "Do you know..... the Muffin man?"
Carnus Daye: ".....What?" :brood:
Assassin: "YOU WILL ANSWER ME OR DIE!!! Do you know the Muffin man?"
Carnus Daye: "The Muffin Man?"
Assassin: "The Muffin Man. DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN!?"
Carnus Daye: "That lives on Drury lane? Oh yes, I know the Muffin man."
Assassin: "The Muffin man!"
Carnus Daye: "The Muffin man. Yes I know the Muffin man... who lives on Drury lane."
Assassin: "Well, 'Jedi', spill it, where is this Muffin man?"
Carnus Daye: "Okay, okay, I was just getting to that. You know Nomi Sunrider?"
Assassin: "Of course I do, what kind of deranged lunatic do you think I am?"
Carnus Daye: "Well, she's..... married to the Muffin man."
Assassin: "The Muffin man???"
Carnus Daye: "The Muffin man. She's married to the Muffin man."

Assassin: "Who lives on Drury lane. Yes, it's all falling into place. Wait, WHAT WAS THAT??? Did you hear something?"
Carnus Daye: "No.... just the sound of your crazed, insane breathing."
Assassin: "It's here... The cute little creature; it has come to suck the life out of me, and give me gray hairs! it's been tormenting me for months!"
Carnus Daye: "Maybe you should get some sleep...."
Assassin: "THERE IS NO SLEEP!! Don't you realize? The cute little monster devours sleep, and swallows dreams! He's the source of all the madness! And I'm powerless to stop him!!!"
Carnus Daye: "Could you let me go, now? I told you where the Muffin man is..."
Assassin: "Yes, yes, you win this round, 'Jedi', but once I deal with the Muffin man and steal his magic bag of muffins, I'll be able to satiate the cute one, and then I'll be back to finish this."
Carnus Daye: "Sounds great."
Assassin: "Oh here, you can have your red florescent lamp back. Sorry I broke the lampshade off of it. I left it hanging somewhere over there."
With that, the dark assassin wearing pajamas sneaked off into the night, attempting to locate the kitchen. The would-be victim just rolled his eyes and attempted to get back to sleep.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms. Everyone witnessed the strange and bizarre events of that night, and looked grimly upon seeing the deaths of their fellow Jedi.
"It seems that my nightly training session wasn't the only thing happening last night. All of these events happened after the training had been completed, so I cannot vouch for the innocence of anyone who attended. The security recordings have been garbled, and there's no way to determine who was behind the attacks. Internal sensors have also been knocked off-line by a mysterious saboteur. I am going to need to start assigning Jedi guards to cover the critical systems of the ship in shifts, but I am worried about the safety issues involved in spreading out all over the ship. There aren't enough of us to go in pairs and still be able to sleep in shifts, so you'll have to go alone.
We will need to accelerate the training regimen of every single Jedi hopeful here, in response to this attack. I don't feel comfortable handing out more lightsabers just now; you must be trained in the ways of the Jedi before I can authorize giving out such weapons. Believe me, it is for the best; while the deaths of our comrades is regrettable and we must do what we can to stop it from happening again, what will make our situation worse is if we give untrained force-sensitives the use of deadly weapons, as they will be easy prey for the Dark Side. We do not need to multiply our woes.
What I would like to address is the death of Jax Revus. It seems as though he was a Sith, an apprentice by what I could guess from the recording, and he was slain by someone holding a purple lightsaber. Now obviously I know everyone on the ship and what color their lightsaber is, but I must warn you Jedi, that is not a means of determining who has done this. Look at the fallen Sith for reasons why.... the Sith had two lightsabers, with a yellow and a red crystal. And, there are other lightsabers stored in a hidden location of this vessel, and crystals are easy enough for a Sith to switch out. Should you use the color of the lightsaber to determine who is responsible, you do so at your own peril and with my explicit warning that it may not always be accurate.
I would like to note that it is not the policy of this council to engage in vigilante killings of the Sith, as it goes against the Jedi code. However, I am unsure if I can really condemn anyone for using deadly force against a known Sith murderer. I do not condone it, but I will not condemn it, at least until there are no more Sith remaining. Several of you have use of new Force and Saber techniques, so use them wisely.
Finally, I have one last announcement, though I was reluctant to share this with you all, my closest advisers have talked me into it. I have been communing with Master Yoda, and during this communion I experienced a vision. I saw the future, because it was the will of the Force that I could see what will happen. One of you will betray me."
The Jedi began to murmur at the shocking announcement.
"Quiet please. This was unlike any other vision I have experienced. It was remarkably clear, clear enough that I could almost see who was responsible, but I could not. Nevertheless, I saw my destiny. Masters of the Order, I will meet my death very soon. I do not know exactly when or how, but I know I meet my end in battle. There will be an explosion, and I will be unable to avoid it, even though I know it is coming. While the future is always in motion, I have foreseen this future and it is inevitable.
As such, I will rank the Jedi Order by seniority, and the most senior Jedi Master will take my place as Grandmaster of the Order upon my death. Do not mourn me before my time, Master Jedi, and do not miss me when I am gone. Remember, fear, anger, jealousy, and attachment lead to the Dark Side. Revenge is not the Jedi way. Bring those responsible to justice, but do not let your passions sway you.... and beware of the Dark Side. It may seem quicker, and easier, but that is merely an illusion. Do not be seduced by the Dark Side.
Before I am gone, I will have found a way to counter its power. I have foreseen that as well. Now, I want you to discuss who these attackers could be. And I am ordering a certain Jedi to get some sleep before I force tranquilizers into his system. Begin discussion, I must retire to my quarters and sleep."
With that, Nomi Sunrider turned and left the chamber, with two Jedi Masters escorting her. They would return later and join in the discussion.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they had reached a conclusion.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.
"Who did your feelings tell you was guilty?" Nomi said.
"Mun Farlander, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the suspect to plead their case.
Mun Farlander: I am not a Sith, your grace, but I accept the council's decision. This is the only way we can find the Sith, so I will bow to your judgment.
Nomi Sunrider: Do you have anything else to say in your defense?
Mun Farlander: Anything I say could be a Sith lie. My defense is unimportant. You must do what you must.
Nomi motioned for her to go into the hangar bay, and then sealed it off. Mun Farlander began to meditate in the middle of the hangar bay, ready for what was about to come. At the last moment, she turned to Nomi Sunrider and smiled, as if reassuring her that it was okay. Nomi switched off the hangar bay force field, and the hangar decompressed, blowing Mun Farlander out into space. She died very quickly and without a fuss.
Nomi needed to make certain, and so she locked onto Mun's body with a tractor beam and brought her back into the hangar bay. Medical droids examined her and found that she was indeed dead. Nomi felt a tremor in the Light Side of the Force, and was greatly displeased. She returned to her quarters to train more Jedi, and ordered everyone else to begin their night watch shifts, or to get to sleep.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Saturday, October 30th, Eastern Time USA
Yogal Sec-barr relieved a Jedi from his watch post. He had slept for 6 hours, which was plenty for his species. He took up a position overlooking one of the main reactors of the Star Destroyer, deep in the Engineering section. It seemed strangely quiet in there, even with the low hum of the reactor filling the air with white noise. Yogal could almost hear someone approaching, but he looked around and decided it must have been his imagination.
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/0GRWSHfyYlc?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/0GRWSHfyYlc?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
From the shadows behind him, a figure slowly stepped into the light. The figure raised its hands and they started to glow. Sec-barr heard the sound of soft footfalls behind him, and turned around just in time to see a bright flash of light. The force of the blow knocked his body into the guard railing and caused him to drop his walking stick. The electric current ripped through his body, filling him with terrible, horrible pain. Reacting instinctively, Yogal reached out with the force and shielded his body from the pain, and moved out of the way just in time to avoid a second blast of lightning.
However, the current ran through the metal scaffolding and ricocheted off of the structural supports and bulkheads, blowing out computer consoles and blowing out the overhead lighting. Energy poured through the fingertips of Yogal's attacker, and the lightning began to chain through several conducting objects, and re-direct back into the body of Yogal. The sentient's flesh began to burn and his outer shell began to melt, and he threw himself over the railing to prevent death. His attacker jumped over the railing and landed right next to him, as he lay on the floor gasping for breath. The attacker lifted him up and threw him against the wall, and Yogal got a good look at his attacker.
Yogal: "You.... but why? Why would you do this to me?"
His attacker said nothing, only looked at Yogal with a determined scowl, and began to fire lightning at Yogal again, penetrating the creature's force defenses. Yogal could take no more of this, and screamed in pain, rushing at his attacker, trying to tackle the figure. But the figure just stepped aside and fired another blast, ricocheting it off of the walls, the floor, and even the reactor itself. Yogal's body slammed into the reactor and burst into flames as he let out one final scream for mercy. But none was forthcoming. The body of Yogal lay smoldering next to the reactor, and the automatic fire suppressant system switched on, surrounding Yogal's body with an energy field, and the oxygen inside the field was quickly consumed and the fire went out by itself.
The figure walked away, back toward the darkness.
Jacin Sky returned from his business elsewhere on the ship, and took up a position guarding the entrance to one of the shuttle bays. He centered himself and reached out with the Force, and could sense danger approaching. He knew he was about to be attacked, so he drew his lightsaber and prepared for battle. He checked left, down one corridor, and checked right, down the other, and down the center corridor. He even looked up, thinking the attack might come from above, then he sensed danger behind him.
The shuttle bay doors slid open, and a figure was standing behind him with both hands raised, and made a motion as if choking Sky from a distance. His senses and his lightsaber were not enough to help him, and he dropped his weapon and staggered forward, unable to even turn around and face his attacker. He struggled to breathe, or even move, and could only crawl down the corridor as his face began to turn blue.
The figure groaned and clenched its hands even tighter together, and Jacin Sky felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a garbage smasher. He could feel the bones in his chest begin to weaken, as his esophagus closed up and his lungs started to collapse. With his last bit of consciousness, Jacin Sky struggled to concentrate and reach out with the Force, to protect his body from the wounds. The figure in the shuttle bay roared with contempt and continued crushing Jacin Sky, teeth clenched, trying desperately to end Jacin's life. With the Force releasing Jacin from the immediate pain, and supporting his chest just enough to allow him to breathe, Jacin Sky grabbed his lightsaber and ran down the hall, to the turbolift, to escape from the powerful attacker.
The figure in the shuttlebay roared with frustration, and motioned with its hands toward the ceiling, and the shuttles in the bay were lifted up as one and crashed against the the top of the bay, crushing them under the stress. Then the figure slammed its hands down to the deck, denting the duranium plating. The shuttles flew towards the front of the shuttlebay, and the entire star destroyer rocked from the resulting chain reaction of explosions, as their engine reactors were crushed. In the nightmarish inferno, the being that attacked Jacin Sky walked slowly toward the opposite turbolift, unharmed and unhindered by the burning atmosphere and swirling wreckage.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.
"As you can see, there were more attacks on us last night. We do not know the identities of these two mysterious attackers, but one of our shuttle bays has been utterly destroyed and an entire deck has been flooded with radiation and burning fuel. The ship's safety systems have contained the damage, but it is clear that whatever is on board this ship could destroy us all at any moment, but is choosing to target us individually. It would be rather simple for any reasonably skilled Jedi to simply cause the ship's reactors to explode, and I am sure the Sith have that capability. I had actually been expecting such an attack, and that is why I hold my training sessions near the Engineering section so that I can monitor the integrity of the reactor cores and shield them with my thoughts. But our saboteurs and murderers aboard have not chosen that tactic. Unfortunately I was not able to intervene in the attack on Yogal Sec-barr in time, as the attacker had already left. There's nothing that can be done, his body is burned from the inside. It is beyond my healing abilities.
Last night, as with the night before, Jacin Sky was the target of an attack, and this time he just barely managed to escape with his life. We are glad to have you with us again, Sky."
Jacin Sky nodded at Sunrider. She continued.
"I sense a disturbance in the Force. There is something wrong here, terribly wrong. My powers only allow me to see so much, but I fear that in spite of our progress in removing one of the Sith, the Dark Side is only growing more powerful, much more rapidly than our defenses will be able to compensate for. We must continue our training, and keep our faith in the Light Side of the Force.
I had the same vision as before, clearer than before. There will be an attack on many of our Jedi Initiates, and I will do what I must to stop them from dying. That is why I will not be able to avoid my death, because it is better for me to die than for half of us to die. That is the path I walk, and there are no turns."
The Jedi murmur at this news.
"It is the will of the Force. But know this.... it is not a defeat. It is a triumph of the Light Side of the Force, that the Sith cannot face me directly, and must resort to this kind of attack. It proves that we are still much stronger than they are. When I am dead, more will take my place. You must not lose your faith. You must feel the Force around you.... even on the sterile conditions of this ship, we are many dozen sentient life-forms, possessing a powerful connection to the Force and each other. The planet we are orbiting is filled with many billion sentient life-forms and trillions upon trillions of other life-forms. This is one of the brightest places in the galaxy, teeming with life. For the Dark Side to defeat us here, much more powerful they must become. Cause fear, pain, and anger to flow within us, they must. To turn against each other, that is what they wish for us.
Do not waver. Find the remaining Sith, and bring them before me."

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and after some debate, many votes were changed, and the final vote tally came up with a surprise candidate.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said the ranking Jedi Master.
"Who did your feelings tell you was guilty?" Nomi said.
"Yala Edak, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Nomi said, and motioned for the suspect to plead their case.
Yala Edak: "I am not a Sith, your grace, and I was only trying to find the Sith among us. I do not think I should be put to death."
Nomi Sunrider: "Do you have anything else to say in your defense?"
Yala Edak: "I do not agree with this system of deciding guilt. Why do we not launch an investigation, or seal off certain people in some parts of the ship, and try to logically narrow down who the Sith are? None of this seems very sensible to me."
Nomi Sunrider: "The Sith have a way of avoiding being caught by what is logical. They are very capable of tricking the senses, and clouding the mind. A firm resolve is needed, uncompromising. Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good."
Nomi motioned for him to go into the hangar bay, and then sealed it off. Yala Edak stood in the hangar bay, asking to be let back in, and asking them not to go through with it. With some hesitation, Nomi Sunrider switched off the hangar bay force field, and the hangar decompressed, blowing Yala Edak out into space. He died very quickly after a short struggle. Nomi needed to make certain, and so she locked onto Edak's body with a tractor beam and brought him back into the hangar bay. Medical droids examined him and found that he was indeed dead.
Nomi was displeased, and did not sense the Dark Side present in him.
Nomi Sunrider: "We have lost another of our own. I would ask you to meditate and clear your thoughts, it seems that your senses are not as attuned as they should be. Please report for night watch duty, those of you on Alpha shift. Beta shift, use your down time to purge your mind of this failure, and get needed rest. Remember to lock your doors and change your security codes on a shift-by-shift basis. Those of you who are scheduled for more training, please join me at the Holocron.
Tonight I would like to double the watch for the weapons, engines, and life support systems. It is less important that other ship systems are covered. Good night, and may the Force be with us all."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Tuesday, November 2nd, Eastern Time USA
Sec-Sar Jor stood silently, in the shadows, keeping his eye on one of the weapons lockers. It had been an uneventful shift. He was actually getting tired, hoping that someone would come to relieve him. Right at the proper time, the turbolift opened, and a lone being stepped onto the deck.
Jor recognized the figure, but it wasn't the person who was supposed to replace him, so he waited in the shadows to see what would happen. The figure walked calmly down the corridor, and stood in front of the weapons locker. The figure looked around, and checked the control pad to see if the room had been entered. As soon as the figure did this, Sec-Sar Jor stepped out of the shadows and calmly asked what the cloaked figure was doing.
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/Ng-QLo2hHn0?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Ng-QLo2hHn0?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Sec-Sar Jor: Pardon me, Master Jedi, but you do not seem to be the person who was meant to relieve me. May I ask why you are here?
The cloaked figure turned, and immediately focused all attention on Sec-Sar Jor. After a few uncomfortable moments of silence, the cloaked figure spoke.
Cloaked figure: I was looking for you, actually.
Sec-Sar Jor: You seem to have found me. Why aren't you at your post?
Cloaked figure: Do not presume to ask me questions, Jor.
Sec-Sar Jor: Very well. In the name of the Galactic Republic, with authorization by the Jedi Council, I am placing you under arrest, Master Jedi.
Cloaked figure: Quite the contrary, you are the one that is under arrest.
The cloaked figure raised its hands and they began to glow. Sec-Sar Jor realized he was in danger, and reached out to the Force to give himself strength, but he was cornered. He raised his hands to defend himself, but it was no use. The cloaked figure unleashed a torrent of electricity from its hands, and the sheer force of the impact threw Sec-Sar Jor against the bulkhead and to the ground. With his connection to the Force, he managed to roll out of the immediate path of the lightning, and attempted to get to his feet, but a second arc of energy hit him in the chest and caused him to stumble. A third arc ricocheted off of the walls of the corridor and shocked Jor in the face. The young Jedi screamed in agony, and tried to crawl to the turbolift. The cloaked figure continued to advance, eyes burning with determination, ignoring the screams of pain. A more powerful wave of lightning burst forth from its hands, and Sec-Sar Jor bellowed one final scream before it all went blank. The figure continued firing, ensuring that Sec-Sar Jor was dead, cooked from the inside, filling the corridor with smoke and ash.
The deed done, the cloaked figure grimly returned to the turbolift, and said nothing more.
Another figure stepped out of the shadows and examined Sec-Sar Jor, but quickly fled the scene.
Ker-oth Ex kept watch over the Life Support systems. Being able to survive in an oxygen-free environment made him perfectly suited for the task of repairing that system should it be damaged. When Alpha Shift had ended, Ker-oth wondered where the person who was to relieve him was. A half-hour went by, and still no one came to relieve him. Finally he had enough of it, and went over to the comm panel and contacted Nomi Sunrider.
Ker-oth: Your grace, it is past time for me to be relieved, but my Beta Shift counterpart has yet to show. I request assistance.
Nomi Sunrider: I'll be on my way. Keep watch until I get there, Ker-oth.
Satisfied, the armored Jedi returned to his post, only to find a cloaked figure standing in front of him.
Ker-oth: What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here. Where is Beta Shift?
Unknown: Resting comfortably.
Ker-oth: What do you mean? Are you supposed to be my replacement?
Unknown: I'm here to relieve you....
Ker-oth: That won't be necessary, Grandmaster Sunrider is coming to replace me.
Unknown: Good. I will relieve her as well.
Ker-oth: What are you talking about? I don't need to be relieved!
Unknown: Oh yes, you do.... you're tired. You're exhausted even.
The dark figure stepped forward, smirking.
Unknown: You can barely keep your eyes open. You find it difficult to concentrate.... difficult to stand..... difficult to breathe.... difficult to ponder your short, meaningless existence.
Ker-oth: Don't come any closer! Or I'll.....
Unknown: You'll what? Wave your little gaffi stick at me? You're too tired, master Jedi. You need rest. I'm here to make sure you rest comfortably.
The figure drew a red lightsaber.
Ker-oth: I'm warning you....
Unknown: You need rest.... I'm here to relieve you.... of your miserable life.
The figure drew a second red lightsaber, and flashed an evil grin.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png
Ker-oth Ex saw the twin red lightsabers, and froze in place. There was nowhere to go. The only exit in the life support room was covered by the cloaked figure. Ker-oth raised his walking stick in defiance of the cloaked figure, but it was knocked out of his hands in a fraction of a second, along with one of his hands. The other one was cut down just a half a second later, in a blur of shimmering red. The cloaked figure moved faster than the eye could see, hacking the armored crustacean creature into tiny bits, a piece at a time, savoring every moment, relishing in the carnage, laughing as the Jedi screamed in terror. The cloaked figure spun around and leaped forward, following the Ataru form, severing the Jedi's lower limbs and impaling him in the lower thorax.
Ker-oth fell to the ground and could only look up at his attacker in pain and confusion.... what prompted such cruel, sadistic behavior? Was it not enough to simply behead the Jedi, did his attacker really have to prolong and enjoy the process? The battle could have been over in a split second, but it wouldn't have been this much fun.
The cloaked figure stood over him, and swung his lightsabers at the chest of the fallen foe, cleaving the Jedi into pieces, and again. Then, eyes shimmering, the cloaked figure impaled Ker-oth through the skull with both blades, spilling what was left of his cranial cavity all over the deck. The smell of burning flesh was gag-inducing. The figure simply grinned, looking down at the remains of the Jedi, and fled the scene, just before Nomi Sunrider arrived.
The Grandmaster of the Order looked at what was done to the fallen Jedi, and fell to the ground in pain. She nearly wept for him, losing her control.
Nomi Sunrider: No more pain, master Ker-oth. Your death will not have been in vain.
Through the corridors, the sound of dark, sinister laughter permeated everywhere. The nightmare had only just begun.
Nomi ran over to the computer console and quickly checked the security recordings, to find out what had happened to Ker-oth's relieving watchman, Kaz'an Neimoidia. This is what she saw.....
Security recording....... ACTIVE.
Playback from time index 103124.55, enable.
Kaz'an Neimoidia woke from his brief, uncomfortable sleep. A loud tone alerted him that it was time. Another long night watch, another long day of arguing and bickering, and then, another 6 hours of restless tossing and turning.
He switched on the overhead lighting to see a cloaked figure standing in his quarters. Immediately, Neimoidia knew that his life was in danger, and rolled out of bed and sprinted into the other room. He didn't even look back to see that his bed suddenly burst into flames, and the fire suppression system had been disabled. The cloaked figure followed Kaz'an into the other room, where Kaz'an made his stand.
Neimoidia focused his mind on the Force, and summoned much Force energy to his command. He stood in a defensive pose and raised his hands, ready for his attacker. But his attacker just stood there, staring at him. Staring at him with dark, evil eyes.
Kaz'an started feeling intense pain... he found it difficult to concentrate, and hold on to his vast reserves of Force power. But still he remained motionless, prepared for the coming attack. But then.... a splitting headache. A sharp pain in the abdomen. Kaz'an's skin began to blister and boil.... and the dark figure continued to stare at him.
Kaz'an began to scream.... he screamed before he even knew he was screaming. He was experiencing agony he had never felt before... never even conceived of before. He fell to his knees, as his blood began to literally boil and his skin began to melt off of his body. His eyeballs exploded, and his Jedi robes burst into flames. The staring continued.
The screams of agony, nightmarish in pitch and volume, began to whimper and fade, as roaring flames engulfed Master Neimoidia. His charred, burning husk collapsed against the duranium deck plating, and continued to burn long after the cloaked figure left his quarters. The other furniture was also engulfed in flames, and the security sensors overloaded.
Security playback....... COMPLETE.
Recording ended at time index 103128.96. No more data available.
______________________
Elsewhere on the ship, a console overloaded and Jedi Initiate Pla-den Krul was instantly and unceremoniously killed.
Azurine Kadu stood near the doors to one of the Engine reactors, keeping careful watch over the area. At the proper time, the turbolift carrying Beta Shift arrived. Kadu welcomed the relief. The doors opened and a dark figure stepped out onto the deck, not at all who Azurine was expecting.
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/ekzslGuSQC8?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/ekzslGuSQC8?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Azurine Kadu: Halt! In the name of the Jedi Order, I command you to identify yourself.
Dark figure: I am your executioner.
Azurine Kadu: You..... who are you? What do you want?
Dark figure: Are you deaf, Jedi? I said I want your charred corpse lifeless on the floor plating before me. I want the bodies of all your friends lined up right beside you. I want your precious little Jedi Temple to burn to the ground, and I want everyone who would think of questioning my rule to be put to a slow, painful death. I want to personally slaughter all my enemies, and conquer the planet below us, and all the other planets worthy of my name. I want every single living creature in the galaxy to bow before me. But for now, all I want is for you to be a good little girl and die......
Azurine Kadu: Do you enjoy hearing yourself talk?
Dark figure: Yes.... but I also like watching myself slaughter the weak. I truly hope this is being captured on camera.
The dark figure ignited its lightsaber, which burned crimson red.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png
Azurine Kadu centered herself, and waited for the cloaked figure to attack. The cloaked figure stood in a classic Djem So pose, and began to advance and demonstrate its mastery of Form V. Kadu reached out with the Force, at let it trickle through her body. Then she sprang into action, deftly dodging the strikes of the red lightsaber and rolling out of danger.
The cloaked figure, upon seeing this, too reached out with the Force and redoubled his efforts, moving faster, delivering more accurate and deadly strikes, and increasing his strength by a factor of ten. It was all Azurine could do to avoid being cleaved in half, but her agility allowed her to perform a flying somersault over the head of the her attacker, and dodge several more strikes with uncanny timing, moving out of range in a blur of speed.
The cloaked figure became enraged, and rushed forward to cut her down, but the nimble and quick Kadu sprinted down the corridor faster than the cloaked one thought possible. He was close behind her, and prepared one final thrust to finish it. Kadu closed the turbolift doors, just as the red lightsaber punched through and began to melt the doors. Kadu quickly keyed in an emergency override command, and got the turbolift to rise. The blade of the shimmering red saber cut cleanly through the floor of the turbolift as it rose, causing the lift to stall momentarily with a shudder. One of the drive mechanisms was damaged. The lift stalled halfway between the two floors, and Kadu forced open the upper level doors and wriggled free of the turbolift, just as the cloaked attacker below severed the emergency stop mechanism and caused the turbolift to plummet 30 stories to the bottom of the shaft.
Azurine Kadu escaped. A terrifying roar of frustration was heard, and a few moments later, one of the bulkheads was pulled from the superstructure and blown out one of the starboard corridors, and out into space, causing the entire deck to decompress. Someone had turned the emergency structural containment force-fields off.

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.
"There is no other way to say this. Last night.... we were shown the true power of the Dark Side. So many Jedi lost their lives, that we can only take small comfort in knowing that Azurine Kadu survived. The manner in which these murders were carried out.... is more horrible than I've seen before. The disturbance in the force that I felt before... it has returned. It is also obvious to me that we do not face a single foe... the time indexes from the security holograms indicate that there were at least two cloaked persons attacking us simultaneously. There may be others... I do not know. The Dark Side clouds everything. We still have a lot of work to do if we are to eliminate the Sith.
One of our own was also killed in a tragic accident. I can only suggest, in my sadness, that it was the will of the Force that this youngling was taken from us. No one regrets his departure more than I, because I knew him very well. I knew his family. I knew what kind of Jedi he was destined to become. But that is not to be.
The vision.... has come to me again. I can feel my own death approaching. I must hurry if I am to complete your training.
Clearer our minds must be if we are to find the true villains behind this plot. If a majority of you vote in the allotted time, I will accept your decision. If a majority of you do not vote in the allotted time, I will slow the ship's orbit and give you another 24 hours. Remember that you will be exhausted by the time the discussion is over, if I have to do this. Try to reach a decision before then.
Today, it is only natural that you would be feeling sadness for your fallen comrades. But you must not let your passions cloud your judgment. If there are any emotions you must feel, then remember that your friends have transformed into the Force.... they are not gone from us completely. If you listen carefully, you can still hear them. You must feel the Force.... through it, things you will see, other places. The future, the past, old friends long gone.
Do not despair.... that is also a path to the Dark Side.
Jedi, look at me.....
Look at me."
Nomi smiled.
"The Force is with us. Be of good cheer, for our triumph over the Sith is at hand. We are not beaten, not yet, not by a long shot. At any moment, we could put a stop to the Sith. All we need is for the Force to guide us to the true culprits. And then victory will be inevitable.
Even when I am gone, I will be looking out for you. But before I leave, I have one last request....
Bring me a Sith."
Nomi bowed gracefully before the other Jedi, and returned to her quarters alone, to meditate in solitude.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and the voting was surprisingly enthusiastic and near-unanimous. One Jedi even claimed that they knew who one of the Sith were, for a fact.
"I sense the Dark Side in that one, your grace! He's the Sith we've been looking for!" The Jedi shouted.
"Are you certain?" asked Nomi Sunrider.
"Yes, I know it is him, the Dark Side is there, I have felt it."
"Strange that I have not. But perhaps this training is making me lose my sight. Bring the Sith Lord before me. Who is it?"
"Lo'son Galeb, your grace!"
The other Jedi ignited their lightsabers in a show of force, and formed a circle around Lo'son.
"Allow him to speak!" commanded Nomi Sunrider.
Lo'son Galeb: "What are you talking about, fool? I am no Sith Lord. Your senses must not be very attuned at all!"
Nomi Sunrider: "You have been charged by your peers of conspiring to commit murder, sabotaging the ship, conspiring to disrupt the Coruscant communications network, conspiring to invade Coruscant, and several counts of murder in the first degree. How do you answer those charges?"
Lo'son Galeb: "I respond by pointing out how ridiculously wrong they all are. Not even close, not by a long shot. I don't even have a lightsaber!"
Nomi Sunrider: "That doesn't really mean anything. You could have left them in your quarters, or hidden them."
Lo'son Galeb: "Search my quarters then! What madness is this??? You have some problem with surveillance and random searches, but no problem outright killing a suspected Sith Lord? Without so much as a real and fair trial, evidence, or things of that nature. This is preposterous, the height of stupidity."
Nomi Sunrider noted the flash of anger in the young Jedi.
Nomi Sunrider: "You're very angry, young Galeb. Anger is a path to the Dark Side."
Lo'son Galeb: "Your grace, anger is perfectly natural and every Jedi here has experienced it before. This is turning into a.... a.... a wild Rancor hunt. Am I to be burned at the stake, next?"
Nomi Sunrider: "You didn't have a problem with these proceedings before now..."
Lo'son Galeb: "It's quite a different story when your life is on the line. You didn't give us much of a choice either, your grace."
Nomi Sunrider: "Your anger is directed at me, I can feel it. Do you bear malice toward the other Jedi as well?"
Lo'son Galeb: "Well I sure feel some now. Come and fight me, you cowards! I challenge you! I will prove that I am a Jedi!"
Nomi Sunrider: "That's not how we do things here. You're to be cast into space, the non-violent way."
Lo'son Galeb: *spits on the floor* "I am not a child. I may be a Jedi, but I am also a man. I demand to go out fighting, your grace!"
Nomi Sunrider: "Are you threatening us, young one?"
Lo'son Galeb: "No.... no, not even now, when you all want me to die. I'm not saying I wish to murder anyone. I just.... want to hold a lightsaber one more time. I want to die on my feet, in battle. Not even the teachings of the Jedi have purged from me that desire. It is common among my people."
Nomi Sunrider: "Frankly, young one, I am worried you are a Sith Lord and this is just your way of trying to murder one of us before you expire."
Lo'son Galeb: "Is there nothing you can do to grant my final request, miss Sunrider?"
Lo'son looked at Nomi Sunrider with the eyes of a beaten, saddened man. She could feel the anger in him subside, and the sadness begin to well. And she felt a touch of fear as well.
Nomi Sunrider: You will follow me into the hangar bay, and follow my instructions exactly. Understood?
Lo'son nodded. Nomi Sunrider motioned for one of the other Masters to toss her a lightsaber.

Lightsaber Battle: Tincow versus Askthepizzaguy
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/O3iFgYbaN40?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/O3iFgYbaN40?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi stood in the center of the hangar bay, and tossed Lo'son a blue lightsaber. Galeb wasted no time igniting the weapon, and prepared to defend himself.
Nomi Sunrider: "I will not kill you, Lo'son. But I will give you the battle you desire, as your final request. If any Jedi is to risk her life, it should be mine. Now, Master Galeb, attack me."
Galeb bowed gracefully and moved toward Nomi Sunrider, the sadness gone from his eyes. Instead of sadness, there was anger. He swung the blade ferociously, and Nomi gracefully deflected his blows, as expected. Still, the young Jedi pressed on.
Lo'son Galeb: "I am not a Sith Lord, Sunrider. You have been deceived by a lie.... they all were. You would cast me aside based on the word of that other pathetic life form? I looked up to you... saw you as some kind of leader!"
Galeb's swings became stronger, and more determined. He continued.
Lo'son Galeb: "But you are no leader! You cannot protect us! You cannot even sense the Sith right in front of your own eyes! You are the weakest Grandmaster of the Order I have ever seen! If Yoda were here, the Sith would be expired already."
Nomi could feel his rage building. Still she kept her defenses strong, deflecting all of the blows with ease. Lo'son reached out with the force, and began to move faster, and with more agility. His muscles became reinforced, stronger. His eyes had a look of profound passion on them.
Lo'son Galeb: "You should have trained them better.... you should have trained me more.... was I not worthy, in your eyes, your grace? That you would not even grant me a lightsaber? I could have been the greatest Jedi Knight in the galaxy! I could have personally defeated all the Sith! I could have been a thousand times the Grandmaster of the Order you turned out to be!"
Nomi deflected all of Lo'son's attacks without breaking a sweat or changing facial expressions. The young Jedi was beyond outmatched by the Grandmaster.
Lo'son Galeb: "Perhaps your refusal to simply attack me is your weakness. You won't kill me. I don't need to bother defending myself, I could simply walk toward you and strike you down!"
Suddenly, Lo'son challenged his fear, and charged toward Nomi, his lightsaber raised high above his head, angled down for a deadly strike. The move took the Grandmaster by surprise, and he nearly got past her defenses, but at the last moment, she used the force and augmented her speed, and sidestepped the blow just in time. Furious at this trick, Lo'son attacked her again, this time vocalizing loudly each blow. He tried to wear her down, simply overpower her, but the Grandmaster continued to fight. For a time, it looked as though Lo'son was actually succeeding, the Grandmaster's movements became weaker. She was not as young as she used to be, and she was stubbornly refusing to finish off Galeb with an attack. The prolonged battle was one she was not accustomed to. Lo'son tried another move, and attempted to Force Push her to the ground, and deliver the killing blow, but he was not powerful enough.
Nomi raised her hands and Pushed Galeb back, knocking him to the deck plating. Still undeterred, Galeb rose and charged at Nomi, lightsaber raised, in a Quixotic charge that even he knew was not going to defeat Nomi Sunrider. But he charged like a warrior.
Nomi met him head-on, clashed sabers with Galeb, and quickly disarmed the young Jedi, slicing off his hand, and Pushing him to the deck once more, defeated.
Nomi Sunrider: "That's enough, Galeb. If you are a Sith, you're holding back. I've had enough of this."
Nomi turned and walked to the starboard corridor, switching off her lightsaber and leaving Lo'son behind. She was displeased by the turn of events.
Galeb, on the other hand, saw his chance. Nomi had disarmed herself, and left him lying next to a perfectly good lightsaber. He took it in his other hand, and charged toward Nomi.
Nomi sensed this from the young Jedi, and turned around; reaching out with the Force, she switched off the Hangar Bay Containment Field. The bay decompressed in a matter of seconds, blowing Lo'son and the blue lightsaber out into space. Nomi herself shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, and held on to the airlock door panel so she would not get blown out as well. When the bay was fully decompressed, she switched the containment field on and entered the airlock, disappointed at herself for her failure. She actually suggested that the young man attack her.... that was her failure as well.
Lo'son may have lacked the Jedi discipline that comes with training, and purging one's thoughts of the Dark Side, but he was no Sith. He was simply a man. And he died a man's death.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Friday, November 5th, Eastern Time USA
That night, Nomi Sunrider ordered the Jedi to cover the Engines, Structural Integrity Field Generators, and the Turbolifts. Everyone was split up into Alpha and Beta shifts, and they went their separate ways. Some went to sleep, some trained with Nomi Sunrider, and some began their watches. It was all very orderly and predictable.
_____________
In the residential section of the Star Destroyer, Ushan Nihlek returned to his quarters. After witnessing the death of Galeb, he had much on his mind. Not surprisingly at all, someone was there waiting for him. They ignited a purple lightsaber.
Cloaked Figure: Going somewhere?
Ushan Nihlek: What do you want?
The cloaked figure sneered.
Cloaked Figure: Oh, I just want to talk. Isn't that why we carry these lightsabers? To talk things out?
Ushan Nihlek: Forgive me, but I do not understand your sense of humor. Now if you'll excuse me...
Cloaked Figure: Oh I don't think so. You're not going anywhere!
Ushan Nihlek: I disagree.
With that, Ushan Nihlek rasied a hand, and the Cloaked Figure lifted up off the ground, caught in the grip of a Force hold of some kind. The cloaked figure struggled, but could not break free. He watched helplessly as Ushan walked calmly down the corridor and out of sight.
Azurine Kadu began her duties guarding one of the many structural integrity field generators, in the lower decks, near the Engineering section, but closer to the Outer Hull.
Not even a half of an hour into her shift, she was approached by a cloaked figure.
Azurine Kadu: You.... what are you doing here again?
Dark Figure: Isn't it obvious?
The cloaked figure ignited his lightsaber, which burned crimson red.
Azurine immediately turned to flee, but the blast doors behind her were closed by an unseen force. She turned back and saw that the only escape route was behind the one who was threatening her. She turned to her training, and reached out with the Force and let it trickle through her body. With a burst of speed, she attempted to run past her attacker and avoid the lightsaber at the same time.
The dark figure reached out with the Force, and a field of Dark Energy enveloped Azurine. Her connection to the Force was canceled, and she felt weak. She stumbled as she tried to run past the cloaked figure, who flashed an evil grin. After the cloaked figure stood in a standard Djem So stance, he swung his lightsaber and cut down the afflicted Jedi.
Azurine screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, lifeless.

Jacin Sky stood watch over the main Turbolift Shaft. After the attack the night prior which destroyed one of the Turbolifts, it was vitally important that the main transport shaft of the Star Destroyer remained undamaged. From the Observation Platform at the top of the shaft, Sky could see and sense anything that would happen. Before his watch was over, too early to be his relief, his control panel alerted him that someone had entered the Main Turbolift and was heading for the Observation Platform.
Jacin could not forget how his senses failed him yesterday, and immediately took cover, in the shadows. He used his knowledge of the Force to conceal his presence as best he possibly could, and waited.
The Turbolift came to a halt, and the doors opened. A cloaked figure stepped out onto the Observation Platform and looked around, as if searching for someone in particular. The sound of mechanical breathing permeated the deck, and Jacin heard the unmistakable sound of a lightsaber being ignited. The sight of the cloaked figure was absolutely chilling.
The figure calmly walked from one side of the Platform to the other, not giving up on his search so easily.
Unknown: "You cannot hide forever, Sky... Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends."
Jacin Sky: ........
Unknown: "Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for..... Sunrider...."
Jacin Sky: ........
Unknown: "So... you have feelings for Miss Sunrider. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Now your failure is complete."
Jacin Sky: ........
Unknown: "If you will not give yourself to the Dark Side, then perhaps she will. But Sunrider is weak... killing her will satisfy me in ways you could only begin to comprehend. Even if I cannot find you, I will find her. It is unavoidable.... it is our destiny. Even she knows this by now. She will die by my hands.... and you will be forced to watch."
Jacin Sky: "Never!"
The cloaked figure looked, and heard where the sound was coming from. Immediately, the Dark One switched off his lightsaber and reached out with the Force and tried to crush the elusive Jacin Sky with all of his hatred. A console exploded, and the walls were warped, and the security railing was crushed by the power of the Dark Side. Jacin Sky was able to re-direct the Dark One's thoughts away from him, and he moved quickly out of the path of danger.
Unknown: "Impressive."
Again, the Dark Figure tried to crush Master Sky, and several structural support beams were twisted and destroyed by his power. Some of the overhead support structure collapsed onto the deck, and sparks flew everywhere. But Sky managed to elude him again.
Unknown: "Most Impressive. That power comes from the Dark Side of the Force. Perhaps you would make a powerful ally.... if you would only give yourself to me."
Jacin Sky: "I'll never join you!"
For a third time, the Dark Figure reached out with the Force, and sent a powerful wave of Dark Side power in the direction of Jacin's voice. The superstructure of the Star Destroyer shuddered, as the entire deck above the Observation Platform bent downwards. Power relays blew out, and the entire deck went dark. Gasses began leaking from life support systems and air pressurizers. At this rate, the Dark One could destroy the entire ship within a matter of hours. The Dark Figure cackled with triumphant laughter.
Unknown: "If you will not be turned... THEN YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!"
The Dark One lifted a hand and unleashed Force Lightning into the darkness of the Observation Deck. The brilliant lightning cut through the darkness, and revealed that Jacin Sky was not standing there. He reached out with his other hand, and fired in the opposite direction, channeling dark side energy and casting it blindly at his target. Again, there was no one to be found. But the Dark One continued firing, and several more arcs of lightning began to chain off of the deck plating, the support structure, and even the ceiling itself. The energy blew out power converters and magnetized the deck itself. All the computers in the area overloaded and exploded. There was nowhere for Jacin Sky to hide. In the darkness, the Jedi Master stood, and one of the beams of Chain Lightning ripped through his body, and he bore the full brunt of the blast. He reached out with the Force and shielded himself from the pain, and gritted his teeth. Another blast hit him, but still he kept his place in the dark....
Unknown: "I sense great fear in you, Jacin Sky..... I can feel your anger. I can feel your pain.... I know you're here. Show yourself. Do not tremble in the dark. Come and FACE ME!!! COME, AND MEET YOUR DESTINY!!!"
Jacin Sky ignited his green lightsaber, and attempted to ward off some of the dark side energy that was hitting his body.... his skin was being burned, as was his clothing. He needed to keep the arcs of electricity off of him. The sound of the saber being ignited alerted the Dark One to his presence, and he focused both of his beams of Chain Lightning at Jacin Sky, from where he was standing behind one of the support beams. The power of the Dark Side ripped through Sky's body, and as powerful as he was, he could not prevent himself from being damaged by the Chain Lightning. He staggered forward, near death, saber blade burning brightly, with a grim look of determination on his face.
Jacin Sky: "This isn't over... if you strike me down I will only become more powerful."
The Dark One simply laughed and began firing Chain Lightning at the Jedi Master. While Sky was able to deflect most of it with his blade, a torrent of lightning hit him from the side, as it ricocheted off of the support structure. There was no escape. Jacin Sky advanced through the lightning, fighting through the pain, to attack the Dark One. But it was too much, and he dropped to one knee. The Dark One cackled again at the sight of this.
Unknown: "Only now, at the end, do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side."
The Chain Lightning continued, and Sky began to scream in pain. He clutched the lightsaber in his hands, fighting onward, trying desperately to reach the Dark One. He stopped just a few meters short of his target, and finally collapsed, feigning defeat. The Chain Lightning stopped.
Unknown: "And now, Master Jacin Sky.... you will die."
Jacin rose quickly, and prepared to strike the Dark One down, and at the last moment, the Dark One raised his hands and fired again, blowing the lightsaber out of Jacin's hands, the dark side energy pulsating completely through his defenseless body. The Jedi staggered forward, as the Dark One moved out of his path, and he fell against the security railing, at the edge of the Observation platform.
Unknown: "Nomi Sunrider will be the next to fall...."
The Dark One continued firing, pushing Jacin's mortally wounded body over the edge of the railing, and he fell 50 decks to the bottom of the transport shaft to his death. His eyes burned with triumph, as he watched the Jedi's death.
Unknown: "And your Jedi Order will soon follow."

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.
"We lost a great friend and mentor last night, as well as another beloved member of our family, cut down before her prime." began Sunrider.
"I would like to speak more about these honored dead, but we must remain focused. There are still Sith out there and we must bring them to justice. The vision happened again, and it was very clear. I don't wish to say what I learned. My time is short, and I must prepare myself for tonight's proceedings. I am sorry I cannot say any more at this time. But despair not, for many of our young disciples will soon be promoted to full Jedi. We could use the help.
Look on today with a fresh perspective, and let go of the failures of the past. Dwelling on failure focuses the mind on negativity, and that is a path to the Dark Side. Stay strong, and may the Force be with us all."

Nomi Sunrider returned from her quarters and found that the Jedi were finished discussing for today.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided that one of them was likely to be a Sith.
"Yes we have, your grace." said a Master Jedi.
"Who is the chosen one?" Nomi asked.
"Drafo Tylum, your grace."
The other Jedi stepped away from Drafo Tylum, making a path between Drafo and Nomi.
"Allow him to give his defense." commanded Nomi Sunrider.
Drafo Tylum: "I'm innocent, of course. I told you so, but you wouldn't listen to me. After the past several days, could I really expect anything else?"
Nomi Sunrider: "The Council has judged you to be guilty. Disarm yourself, if you have a weapon."
Drafo Tylum: "Wrong again. I don't have a lightsaber. Can't you tell?"
Nomi Sunrider: "I must admit, our ability to use the Force seems to have diminished. The Dark Side clouds everything."
Drafo Tylum: "Are you sure it is the Dark Side which is responsible for this debacle? You could always just search me. You can't really blame the force for your own mistakes."
Nomi Sunrider: "You seem rather hostile, young one."
Drafo Tylum: "I'm sorry. Am I supposed to take my impending death with gentle good humor? I'm beginning to lose my faith in your leadership, miss Sunrider. Perhaps a change of Grandmaster would be ideal. Maybe then we will actually get somewhere."
Many of the other Jedi gasped at the disrespect shown to the Grandmaster.
Nomi Sunrider: "Worry about that, I would not. Another will very soon have the opportunity to lead the Jedi in a new direction. But for now, we are doing things the way I have instructed you all to do. The wisdom of the Jedi of old, I have.... a close connection to them, I feel. Patience and sacrifice are required to prevail here, but we will prevail. I sense fear spreading among many of you... your faith in the Light Side has been shaken. Living proof, I am; it is not over until it is over. Keep your faith in the Light Side of the Force, and prevail over the Dark Side, you will."
Drafo Tylum: "Not me, your grace. You can speak with soaring rhetoric about hope and change, and your failures will still be apparent. And not one optimistic word you have spoken means anything to me, as my death approaches. You've been fooled by hope, and that foolish optimism will be our undoing."
Nomi Sunrider: "So certain are you, in our defeat? When a man is convinced he is going to fail, then fail he will. Pessimism yields no reward, and is a path to the Dark Side. Now, young one, move into the hangar bay and prepare to rejoin the Force."
Drafo Tylum: "You'll have to drag me there. I'm not going!"
Nomi Sunrider: "So be it, young one. Bring him to the hangar."
Several of the larger and stronger Jedi grabbed Drafo Tylum, and many others ignited their lightsabers. Drafo struggled to break free, but it was no use. He was hauled off and tossed through the airlock, and the hangar bay was sealed. He looked back at the Jedi with a mix of sadness and anger on his face.
Drafo shouted "I told you so" just as Nomi Sunrider threw the switch and dropped the force field. He was blown out into space where he quickly suffocated and died. His body was tractored back in to be examined. The medical droids pronounced him dead, and Nomi reached out with the force and looked for any signs of life. She felt nothing.
Nomi Sunrider: "This one was a Jedi. A troubled, undisciplined Jedi, but he was no Sith. His death was a mistake, and he was right."
Shaking her head, she turned toward the Jedi. "Those of you who are scheduled for the Knighting ceremony, come with me please. Those who are scheduled for training, please come with me. Those of you on Alpha Shift, begin first watch. Beta Shift, it is time for sleep. Tonight I want you to cover the engineering section, the weapons locker, the computer core, and the turbolifts. I will assign some who are trusted to perform security checks elsewhere in the ship. I sense that tonight, some of us will be in great danger. Watch yourselves."
With that, she and many of the other Jedi went to her quarters, and everyone else began their security rounds or turned in for the night.

Stre-don Rett was on his way back to his quarters, when he felt as though he were being followed. Ducking into one of the unoccupied rooms, he attempted to shield his presence from the minds of others. He could sense a figure moving down the hallway, searching for something.
The figure lifted a hand and reached out with the force, attempting to do.... something. But Stre-don Rett's trick mis-directed him.
The figure lifted his other hand and reached deeper into the Force, trying to do something else, but the trick worked again, and nothing happened.
The figure searched several rooms, but finally gave up and left. Stre-don chuckled at this, and exited the room he was in.
Elsewhere on the ship, in the morgue near the medical bay, a cloaked figure began searching for something... or someone.
Unknown: "Hmmm.... remarkably well-preserved. You'll do, for now."
The figure laid hands on the body of the fallen Jax Revus, and reached deep.... deep into the Netherworld of the Force. A tremor was felt by everyone on the ship, indicating a massive disturbance.
The mortal wounds on the corpse were healed immediately, and the body was brought back up to normal temperature.
Then, the cloaked being grabbed the body by the throat, and by the chest, and began concentrating. Energy poured from the being, and soon, Jax Revus' heart began to beat, and electrical activity was restored to the nervous system. The trauma of death was reversed in the brain as well, and Revus began choking and coughing, and tried to sit up, but could not move, as the powerful being gripped him by the throat, and looked into his eyes.
The figure said nothing to Jax Revus, and Jax couldn't quite see who was staring down at him, due to temporary blindness. But he could sense a powerful Force presence. The figure walked out of the morgue and disappeared into the night.
Jax Revus, disoriented, stumbled out of the morgue and tried to make his way down the hall by feeling with his hands. He was cold, and needed clothing... and food. He was incredibly hungry... and he felt weak. But, he was alive.
Ker'ral Fisid was in his quarters, when the door slid open without warning. Standing before him was a cloaked figure, with a neutral expression on their face.
Ker'ral was not expecting any visitors, and was unprepared for a fight. However, he still had one trick up his sleeve.... with a quick motion of his hands, the overhead lighting blew out and his quarters became pitch dark. He quickly ducked behind some of his furniture and masked his force presence.
The cloaked figure, undeterred, stepped into the darkness.
Unknown: "I do not need to see you.... I can still kill you, Ker'ral."
Ker'ral hoped this wasn't so, but remained still and continued to mask his presence.
The cloaked figure summoned powerful energy from the Force, and channeled it through his being. The figure turned and faced Ker'ral's last known location and began screaming.... in a way that would shatter bulkheads. The decibel level was well beyond deafening, it was life-threatening. The impact of the scream caused the furniture in the room to shatter and blow against the wall, taking Ker'ral with it. His body was broken by the sound vibration, and he died before he knew what hit him. There was never any chance of survival.
The cloaked figure examined the body to make sure he was dead, and then left his quarters before anyone could see.
And yet, someone did see a figure leaving, and heard the powerful scream. This person examined the body of Ker'ral, but left the scene in a hurry.
________________
Mace Wyyrlar returned to his quarters, when he was approached by a cloaked figure wielding a purple lightsaber.
"What are you doing here?" asked Wyyrlar, but the cloaked figure didn't respond. The attacker advanced in a standard Djem So stance, preparing to turn Wyyrlar's moves against him. But Wyyrlar did not ignite his lightsaber, if he had one. Instead, Wyyrlar reached deep into the Force, and lifted his hands toward his attacker.
In an instant, the cloaked figure was swept up in a wave of the Force, and went flying down the hallway, landing with a thud against the opposite wall a thousand meters away. He did not get back to his feet for some time.
Mace Wyyrlar simply continued to his quarters.
"Confer on you, the Rank of Jedi Knight, this council does." Nomi Sunrider said, to the figure kneeling before her. "You may be seated."
The next figure approached, and knelt before Nomi Sunrider. "Confer on you, the Rank of...."
Nomi paused.
"We're all in danger. Everyone, leave this room immediately."
Sure enough, the doors of the shuttle bay opened, and a cloaked figure stood facing the newly-promoted Jedi Knights.
Unknown figure: "All that work, for nothing...."
The figure began cackling, and tossed a thermal detonator into the middle of the crowd of Jedi, but Nomi was there to draw it into her hands with the Force. The Jedi Knights had no time to escape, as the doors to the shuttle bay were sealed just as quickly as they had been opened. The thermal detonator had a timer, and there was only three seconds remaining.
Nomi reached deep into the Force for the answer.... she felt the device with the Force, and immediately understood everything about it. She felt the experiences of the Jedi Masters of old flowing through her, and knew precisely how to disarm the device.
One second remained, and Nomi reached out with her mind and disabled the detonator, while keeping the security device from tripping and causing the explosion anyway. She continued the circuit with her mind, and the device was stable for as long as she held it. Then she grasped the explosive casing, and concentrated. In a few seconds, she tore the explosive casing off and removed the volatile materials, and handed them to one of her students. She relaxed her mind, and the circuit became incomplete, and the security device triggered, and tried to detonate the explosive. But nothing happened.
She looked at her students.
"Go. That was not the attack I saw in my vision. You are all still in very grave danger. Disperse, young Jedi."

Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.
"We were very fortunate last night. Several of our Jedi Knights, and myself, were nearly killed in an attempt on my life. But as I told them, that was not the attack I have foreseen. That is yet to come. I tried to sleep, but the vision came again. My fate truly is unavoidable, as we have failed to stop the Sith in time. They will attack me tonight."
Nomi paused, as the Jedi began to try to think of ways to prevent it from happening.
"Don't. If I do not intervene in the next attack, many of you will die. That is why it cannot be stopped." Nomi stated.
One of the Jedi spoke up anyway.
"What if we all scatter? Won't that stop it?"
Nomi shook her head. "I have duties to perform which are too important and cannot be delayed any longer. Lives depend on it. Regardless of the circumstances, I must go ahead with the ceremony."
"Don't we know for sure that those attending the Knighting ceremony weren't Sith, now?" said another.
Nomi shook her head again. "It could have been an assassin droid made to look like a Sith. Or there could be other explanations; the Dark Side has a way of tricking you into thinking a certain way, do not be fooled. No one here has been made more or less of a suspect than before by that attack. It is best to put it out of your mind entirely, lest the dark side corrupt you."
Then she turned toward the now-clothed Jax Revus.
"Back from the dead, I see. What are your intentions?" asked Nomi Sunrider.
The other Jedi turned and noticed Jax, and were horrified. Wasn't he the Sith Apprentice who died on the first night of their journey?
Jax Revus just grinned. Several of the Jedi ignited their lightsabers, but Jax just stood there, motionless, still grinning, as if he was unafraid.
Jax Revus: "Don't you at least have to vote on something like that?"
Nomi stared at Jax, uncertain of what to do. She also knew she couldn't advise the Jedi one way or the other on this matter. Something in the Force told her to stay her tongue. This was the Council's decision, not hers.
Still, she did not return to her quarters as she usually did. She stood, watching Jax Revus, hand on her lightsaber, prepared for what might happen next.
"It's time to discuss and vote on our next action, my friends. Do as you will." Nomi said, betraying none of her emotions, but keeping her focus directly on Revus.

Nomi Sunrider was tired, after a long day of discussion. Noting that it was almost time to begin Night Watch, she asked for the results.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided that one of them was likely to be a Sith.
"Yes we have, your grace." said a Master Jedi.
"Who is the chosen one?" Nomi asked.
"Cah Andwal, your grace."
"Allow him to present his defense." Nomi said, keeping a watchful eye on everyone.
Cah Andwal: "I am a Sith Lord?"
The ghost of Jacin Sky: "Yes, that is what you told me."
Cah Andwal: "I did? Why would I say such a silly thing?"
Jacin Sky: "You tell me."
Nomi Sunrider: "Wait.... do you deny being a Sith Lord, Cah Andwal?"
Cah Andwal: "Yes.... Master Sky says I am, and that is most peculiar indeed. I am pretty sure I am not one."
Nomi Sunrider: "I would be quite interested to know what sort of strange conversations have been happening privately. I sincerely doubt a Sith Lord would just tell you he is a Sith Lord."
Jacin Sky: "I.... guess that's true, your grace."
Nomi Sunrider: "Where did you hear this nonsense from?"
Several fingers were pointed. Some at Jax Revus, some at Jacin Sky, and some at Cah Andwal. Clearly unimpressed with the Council's decision, she led the elderly Initiate to the hangar bay, where the old man sat and grinned at the other Jedi.
Cah Andwal: "There's no reason to fear. I am not a Sith Lord. And, I accept your decision."
Nomi Sunrider reassured the elderly gentleman that it would all be over soon, and that he wouldn't feel a thing.
Cah Andwal: "I know, young Sunrider. We will meet again soon."
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/Ev359hW6LAM?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/Ev359hW6LAM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nomi Sunrider nodded sadly, and closed the air lock, and threw the switch. Cah Andwal was blown out into space where he promptly died. His body was tractored back into the bay where it was examined by medical droids, and Nomi re-established the pressurized atmosphere and entered the bay. She laid a hand on Cah Andwal's body, and knew he was dead. She could feel that the Light Side of the Force was with this departed Jedi.
Nomi frowned, as this confirmed her expectations and added to a long line of pointless failures. A waste of life, so terrible, that it moved Nomi. A single tear dropped from her face as she recounted all the horrible experiences of the past six days in her mind. Perhaps the strain was getting to her. Still, she had duties to perform. And she would continue along this path until it ended.
Nomi Sunrider: "We lost another of our own. Shake off this failure, and think about our next moves. Report to me for training, those I have selected, and those who are attending the Apprenticeship ceremony, please follow me. Those who are on Alpha and Beta shift who are not attending, begin your rounds or return to your quarters. Station guards near the Engines and Life-support systems, we're going to be low on staff tonight for obvious reasons.
One last thing my friends....
The Dark Side clouds everything. Clear your thoughts must be, if you are to find the Sith. Purge from your mind false information, and strong emotion which can cloud your judgment, and reach out and feel the Force. It will speak to you.... but it takes a quiet mind to hear. Your instincts will serve you well, if they are free of distracting influences. There is so much more I wished to teach you. But the Order will go on, and you will discover the secrets of the Force. I will be watching.
We will hold the ceremony in a cargo hold I have selected at random. May the Force continue to watch over and protect us."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Thursday, November 11th, Eastern Time USA

Qui Ul'pat was on her way to the Apprenticeship ceremony, when she sensed great danger approaching. She looked around for cover, but there wasn't any in this barren corridor. Then she saw the figure approaching from the far side of the corridor, right in the direction she was supposed to be heading. She turned and ran for cover, but the blast doors behind her closed.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...enance-008.png
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/7rfekvwfQRw?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/7rfekvwfQRw?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Unknown: "Leaving so soon? Don't you have to report to Miss Sunrider for your promotion, Jedi?"
Qui Ul'pat: "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just wise enough to avoid it when possible. Don't bother trying to intimidate me."
Unknown: "Oh, you will know fear, Jedi. I promise you that much before you die: you will feel fear, and anger, and all those other feelings that you foolishly deny yourself."
Qui Ul'pat: "Quit stalling and get this over with."
Unknown: "Good, I am glad to hear you're so ready to die. But here, pitiful one, why don't you at least try to give me a challenge?"
The dark figure tossed Qui Ul'pat a lightsaber, which she quickly ignited. It burned brilliant white.
Qui Ul'pat: "What is this for?"
Unknown: "You were to be promoted to Padawan, and this is the saber you were going to be granted. Why don't you prove that you were indeed ready to wield it, Jedi?"
Qui Ul'pat: "Very well, it seems I have no choice."
Unknown: "With that kind of attitude, you'll never defeat me. Why not tap into your feelings, and let the Force flow through you?"
Qui Ul'pat: "I've been trained to resist the Dark Side."
Unknown: "Why resist what you cannot defeat? Give yourself to your emotions, let your passion give you strength. It is your only chance of survival."
Qui Ul'pat: "There are more important things in this life than simply surviving. Everyone dies.... you cannot run from it forever."
Unknown: "...Don't presume to lecture me, 'Jedi'.... I am a hundred thousand times more powerful than you could ever be. Maybe you should shut up and learn something."
Qui Ul'pat: "Power is not the same as wisdom. It is a shame that a being as powerful as you would be so naive as to think that they know so much, that they cannot learn something new from everyone they meet. You would be wise to cast aside your faith in the Dark Side of the Force, and let go of your ambition and hatred. All they do is blind you."
Unknown: *sneering* "What does a Jedi Initiate know about wisdom that I do not?"
Qui Ul'pat: "At least you have the courage to ask the question. Now you're learning."
Unknown: "I hate Jedi. I hate the smug condescension, I hate the moral superiority complex, I hate the lectures, and I hate how pathetic and weak you all are. Killing you will prove which of us is right."
Qui Ul'pat: "If you kill me, all you will have proven is that you can kill me. I will still be right."
With that, the dark figure roared with frustration, and ignited the crimson lightsaber....
Unknown: "Here's a lesson they didn't teach you at the academy.... how not to die like a mewling infant."
Then the being ignited the other end of it.... revealing that it was in fact a double-bladed lightsaber.
Qui Ul'pat: "I am honored that you think it will require two killing strokes with a lightsaber to defeat me. You must find me very impressive."
Unknown: "There's that smugness again. I will hear more of your jokes after I've removed my saber from your cold, dead body."
Qui Ul'pat: "Happy to oblige."
Annoyed by this, the cloaked being roared again, and the entire deck began to shudder and buckle from the stress. A ripple of the Force was felt, and it tore rivets clean out of the bulkheads. The young Initiate grinned slightly, seeing how her words were affecting this being.
Unknown: "You're really starting to make me furious. Are you prepared for the kind of death you've earned, little lady?"
Qui Ul'pat: "If you're so powerful and wise, how is it that merely my words can cause you to lose control? An automated assembler droid has many powerful tools, but they are useless and dangerous when the droid's control unit is removed. Often the unit simply.... self-destructs."
Unknown: "Then perhaps one day I will self-destruct! But before that happens, I will make sure every last one of you Jedi are dead. That is enough for me!"
Qui Ul'pat: "And what will that have accomplished for you? You won't even be able to enjoy your victory. What will you have gained?"
Unknown: "Glory.... victory over my enemies.... unimaginable power.... and deep satisfaction. My name will be echoed throughout the ages, and no one will forget who it was that took down the Jedi Order. And no one will remember who you are, you simple insect!"
Qui Ul'pat: "If my words are lost on you, and all I have done is delay you from harming others, then I will still have prevailed over you in my own way. You have failed to truly defeat me, and your premature gloating has failed to impress me."
The cloaked being simply grinned. This time, all the anger vanished from the being.
Unknown: "Did you really think this was about impressing you, or defeating you, in your mind, on your terms? All I need to win is to see you lying dead before me, and I can already see that in my mind. It is your destiny to die by my hand. That is when I will have beaten you."
Qui Ul'pat: "You will have beaten me when all the Jedi on this vessel, and all across the galaxy, and all sentient life forms with the desire for freedom, have been wiped from existence, and not before. And when you die.... and you will die.... all your accomplishments will be for naught."
Unknown: "Dying? On the contrary, I plan to live forever. I don't intend on being some powerless Force Ghost like your friend Jacin Sky. I will become so powerful that death cannot touch me. And the Jedi will be the ones who face death.... no matter what happens, I still win. If I have to be the last one standing in the entire Universe, I will still be victorious!!!"
Qui Ul'pat: "That sounds rather lonely. Who will you gloat towards?"
Unknown: "Your lifeless bodies, and your pathetic force ghosts, if need be."
Qui Ul'pat: "In order to enjoy your victory, you still need us around? Perhaps you seek our approval after all? Maybe all this really IS about impressing us, even though you deny it."
Unknown: ".....WHAT??? What are you blathering on about now, you idiot?"
Qui Ul'pat: "It just seems like you're expending your entire existence and all of your power attempting to prove something to the Jedi, and all who oppose you.... which that you can wipe us all out. And, even if you theoretically succeed, there will be no one left who is capable of being impressed by this. And your goal of living forever in a universe entirely populated by you and everyone who bows down before you.... it seems rather boring and pointless to me. Perhaps one day, you will be forced to end your own life, just to experience something different."
Unknown: "Hahahaha.... I do believe that removing your head from your frail little body will be the most enjoyable thing I have ever experienced. Let's shut that annoying little mouth forever, shall we?"
Qui Ul'pat switched off the white lightsaber that the cloaked being had given her, and tossed it at the creature's feet.
Qui Ul'pat: "Seems I didn't need this after all. If you must silence me in order to win, then you have not truly defeated me. So certain are you, that I have nothing to teach you?"
Unknown: "Quite certain."
The cloaked being stood in a Form VII stance, and quickly closed the space between them, and sliced clean through the unarmed Jedi's neck, killing her instantly. When the cloaked being looked his victim in the eyes, just before her death, he saw no fear. An instant later, her expression was blank. Something about this was unsatisfying to the creature, but he quickly shook it off and savored the look of the fallen Jedi. Then the being disappeared into the night.
Stre-don Rett was almost to the cargo bay, when he sensed danger approaching. He quickly masked his presence and hurried down one of the side corridors, and turned the corner. Then he waited. Sure enough, a cloaked figure was coming down the main corridor.
Dark Figure: "Come out, come out, wherever you are....."
Stre-don said nothing, and remained perfectly still and out of sight, re-directing the thoughts of others away from his body.
Dark Figure: "This little Jedi was going to the Apprenticeship ceremony.... but this little Jedi stayed home. This little Jedi was going to have a lightsaber.... but this little Jedi had none. And this little Jedi squealed for his life and BEGGED FOR MERCY, AND THIS LITTLE JEDI GOT NONE!!!"
Stre-don concentrated on masking his presence, and blocked out the taunting from his mind.
Dark Figure: "Cute creature had a little dad, little dad, little dad, Cute creature had a little dad, whose saber was white as snow. And everywhere that daddy went, daddy went, daddy went, and everywhere that daddy went, his doom was sure to follow."
Stre-don heard a clattering noise at the hallway intersection. The cloaked being had tossed Rett a lightsaber.
Dark Figure: "Tag.... you're dead, Jedi."
Stre-don couldn't believe it. Somehow, his mind trick wasn't working. The being had found him, and began speaking in a mock Yoda voice.
Dark Figure: "See through you, I can. Sense great fear in you, yes.... and soon, the satisfaction of watching life drain from your body, I will feel. Yes.... hehehehehee."
Stre-don came out from hiding, and kicked the saber back towards the dark figure.
Stre-don Rett: "Do what you came here to do. I won't give you the satisfaction of being your plaything."
The cloaked figure summoned the lightsaber back up from the deck plating, and began speaking to it in a mock child's voice.
Dark Figure: "Did you hear that, mister whitesaber? Daddy doesn't want to play with us. He's a big meanie! What are we going to do? Whatever are we going to do? What do we do with big, grumpy meanies who don't want to play with us? Maybe we should cheer him up....."
Stre-don Rett was puzzled by what he was hearing.
Dark Figure: "I know what mister grumpy-pants needs in order to cheer up. So let's give it to him! Let's give him a..... big.... HUG!!!"
The Dark Figure ignited the white lightsaber and threw it directly at Stre-don's head, causing him to duck. When he stood back up, the cloaked figure had both hands outstretched, as if compressing something durable with all his strength. Stre-don felt his windpipe begin to close up, and he felt as though he had been kicked in the stomach. All the air left his lungs, and his ribcage collapsed. Blood shot out of his nose, and he went limp.... but remained upright, as if suspended by an invisible force. His body continued to compress and crush, until the wounds he sustained were lethal. The lifeless Jedi was tossed against the end of the corridor and crumpled as it came to rest.
Dark Figure: "Hush little Jedi, don't say a word.
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
I'll blow its lifeless body out the nearest airlock."
With that, the dark figure cackled hysterically, and hurried to the turbolift, leaving behind the lightsaber that would have belonged to Rett, if only he had made it to the apprenticeship ceremony alive.

Ushan Nihlek was not attending the Apprenticeship ceremony, and was busy guarding another part of the ship, down in the Engineering section. Armed with a brand-new double-bladed lightsaber, Nihlek felt ready to face any challenge posed by the Sith. Sure enough, he heard a tapping on one of the nearby blast doors. After a few tense moments, the door slid open, revealing a cloaked figure. Strangely, the cloaked figure began to sing and dance.
Cloaked figure: "I got a plan for you and I
Let's journey across the Venetian skies
Can I have some of your cookies? Can I have some of your pie?
May I cut the first slice? So won't you
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right"
Ushan Nihlek: "I don't understand your sense of humor. Am I supposed to find this amusing?"
The cloaked figure just shrugged, and unleashed a scream unlike anything Ushan Nihlek had ever heard. To be precise, Ushan didn't hear this one either, as it rendered him instantly deaf. His body, his lightsaber, and half of the corridor, was torn apart by the violent vibration and force of the scream. Ushan's bones shattered into a thousand pieces, and what was left of his body splattered against the far wall.
Cloaked figure: "Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right....
Scream at the top of your lungs if your body's feeling right...."
The cloaked figure continued singing and dancing, as the blast doors closed once more.
Taun Jan was heading somewhere, when Jan sensed danger approaching. Using the force, Jan managed to avoid detection, and duck into a nearby room.
The cloaked figure turned the corner, expecting to see Taun, but found nothing. Reaching out with the force, the figure sensed nothing. The figure raised his hands and tried to do something..... but nothing happened. Disappointed, the cloaked figure walked away.

Jax Revus returned from his disappointing outing, and considered going to the Apprenticeship ceremony after all. But really, would Nomi Sunrider give him a lightsaber? Would the other Jedi accept him as one of their own after everything that happened? Besides, wasn't tonight the night that.....
A cloaked figure turned the corner, interrupting Revus' thoughts. A familiar presence.... Jax was already enraged just by the sight of this one. He quickly ignited his red lightsaber.
Unknown: "So, Jax Revus, we meet again for the first time for the last time! And I see your lightsaber is as big as mine! Let's see how well you.... handle it."
Revus simply growled at his cocky foe, and took a standard Shii-Cho defensive stance. The anonymous attacker ignited his purple lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu form. Wasting no time, the two powerful beings advanced on each other, clashing sabers and meeting each other blow for blow.
Jax Revus: "You don't really think you'll win, do you?"
Unknown: "Oh I don't know, Jax, while you've been rotting in the morgue, I've been training. And I did kick your :daisy: all over the ship the last time we met. Who do YOU think will win this contest?"
Revus simply scoffed.
Jax Revus: "Whatever. I cheated death the last time, I'll just do it again. But who will save you, fool? What will you do when I climb back out of the morgue and shove my lightsabers through your pointy little head?"
Unknown: "I don't think you've got that kind of skill, Darth. Now be a good little boy and stay dead this time."
Using a mind trick, the cloaked attacker misdirected Jax into thinking he was going to sidestep to the right, but he went left instead, and impaled Jax through the chest, and then kicked his red lightsaber out of his hands. The figure grinned victoriously.
Unknown: "Hope it's not too cold for you in the body storage freezer."
The cloaked figure withdrew the purple lightsaber and watched Revus crumple back against the deck, and fade into lifelessness, then the figure disappeared into the night.
Another figure appeared, and raised its hands in the direction of the fallen Revus, but nothing happened. The stranger left the scene.

Nomi Sunrider stood in the cargo bay, which was filled to capacity with Jedi Initiates seeking to become apprentices, as well as mountains of cargo containers. She called each of the Initiates up to her one by one, and congratulated them on their accomplishments, and handed each of them a lightsaber, and gave them a warm hug.
Nomi Sunrider: "Well done, congratulations. You've all taken the first steps into a much larger world. You've come much farther than most other Force-sensitives ever do, along a path that will bring you wisdom, strength, and perseverance even in the darkest of times."
The newly-minted Padawans looked around the cargo bay nervously.
Nomi Sunrider: "Yes, you have every reason to be afraid. My visions never stopped, and I've been unable to sleep for some time. I recorded all my thoughts in the Jedi Holocron, as my time with you is coming to an end. The cargo bay is not safe, but then again, none of the rooms on this ship are safe. You see, the Dark One can see the future as well as I can. No matter where I held this ceremony, you would have been in the same kind of danger. The setting of the attack was the only thing I could control, and that is why I chose this cargo bay. You are all very brave, coming here after what I told you. To face your fears is to conquer them. You must conquer your fears if you are to defeat the Dark Side. Do not let the fear of loss deter you, or cause you to stray from the path."
Nomi smiled.
"I have foreseen a great victory for the Jedi Order. The future, always in motion, is very difficult to predict that far out. But I know it is possible, and if you continue to fight on and stay true, you will not be defeated. Even when it seems hopeless.... even when it seems unfair. The Dark Side will trick you into thinking that you cannot win. They do have powers that are well beyond anything I can counter alone. That is why you must be trained.... you must learn the ways of the Force, and become full Jedi. You must become STRONG with the Light Side of the Force.... only then, will you be powerful enough to defeat the Sith.
But it is not impossible. Never for one second allow yourself to think that this is so. The Sith have been defeated before, under far graver circumstances, with impossible odds. Through the Force, nothing is impossible. Although we may not be able to change our fates, at times.... we still control our collective destiny. And we will live on, through the Force. And we will shine brightly, through the darkness. And we will not be defeated, even in death.
Always remember.... and may the Force be with you."
As Nomi finished speaking, a cloaked figure opened the interior airlock, held up a device, pressed the trigger, and fled the scene, laughing maniacally.
No less than 20 of the cargo containers inside the hold blew open, revealing giant thermal detonators strapped to cylinders of matter and anti-matter. Each of the detonators was on a timer, and there were only five seconds left remaining on the timer.... just enough for the Sith to escape the scene.
Reacting quickly, Nomi Sunrider reached deep into the Force, and lifted each of the Jedi Padawans off of the deck, and unleashed a massive Force Wave which knocked them through the interior airlock, back into the main corridor, where they collapsed onto the ground, unharmed. Then, Nomi reached out with the force, and slammed the airlock shut.
Two seconds remained on the timer, and there was enough explosive contained in the cargo bay to blow up half the ship, and take most of the Jedi with it. Nomi turned toward the exterior cargo bay door, and unleashed a massive Force Whirlwind, blowing the metal hatch and overloading the outer force field. The pressurized atmosphere inside the cargo bay blew Nomi and the cargo containers out into space, where they passed through the ship's powerful deflector shields.
The containers exploded harmlessly in space, with the ship's deflector shields blocking almost all of the impact. The ship shuddered, and some power relays blew out, but the shields held.

The only casualty from the attack was..... the one who spared the rest.

The next morning, Jedi Master Sol Jade found the Jedi Holocron had been left inside his quarters. The Holocron immediately began playing the last thing that was recorded on it.
Nomi Sunrider: "Congratulations, Master Jade. As the eldest and most experienced Jedi Master, you are the most qualified to lead the Jedi Order into a new era. Contained within this Holocron are all my logs, notes, and observations.... everything I know about the Sith and their ways. And some of the things I've discovered about the Light Side of the force as well. It is my hope that you use this knowledge to aid the Jedi in their struggle against the Sith. But be careful... some of the knowledge contained within is dangerous in the wrong hands, because it tells you about the Dark Side. One must be prepared before viewing this information, because it is corrupting.
Lead them to victory. May the Force be with you as well, my friend."
Grandmaster Sol Jade approached the mourning Jedi, and reviewed the security recordings from the night prior. He was a bit overwhelmed by all this, and needed to take some time to study the information kept in Nomi's log.
Sol Jade: "Please continue with the voting as normal. We will have time to mourn our losses later. For now, let us do the fallen Jedi, and Nomi Sunrider, a service and honor their memory the best way we can... which is bringing their murderers to justice."
With that, the long, horrible night was over. And a new hope began.

A Close Second:
Ignoramus: (2) dcmort93, Sasaki Kojiro
Sol Jade put a stop to the discussion at the appropriate time.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out they had decided almost unanimously that one among them was guilty.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster." said a Jedi.
"'Master' will do just fine... I'm not used to being called Grandmaster yet. Who is the chosen one?" Jade asked.
"Mace Wyyrlar, Master."
"Allow him to present his defense." Jade said.
Mace Wyyrlar: "I told you already, I am innocent of this crime, and you won't be killing me this way! I told you I have the power to survive this, but you wouldn't listen!"
Sol Jade: "Survive it or not, your peers think you are guilty of this crime. Why do you suppose that is?"
Mace Wyyrlar: "Their senses haven't been properly attuned? I don't know. Obviously they seem to think I am guilty based on trying to read my thoughts. Maybe they haven't been reading them properly."
Sol Jade: "I sincerely doubt that. What are the use of senses if they can't be trusted? The Jedi have been using their senses to guide them for many thousands of years."
Mace Wyyrlar: "Didn't you guys say that Lo'son Galeb was guilty of being a Sith? and Cah Andwal too?"
Sol Jade: "Cah Andwal was an elderly man who was confused into admitting guilt when none was there. As for Galeb, I cannot explain that."
Mace Wyyrlar: "Maybe you should try to explain it, Master Jedi. I may not know who the Sith are, but I know I am not one of them. You'll see...."
Mace Wyyrlar turned to all the other Jedi, and began screaming.
Mace Wyyrlar: "You'll all see!!! WHEN IT IS TOO LATE, YOU WILL SEE!!! YOUR ARROGANCE BLINDS YOU, MASTER JEDI!!!"
Sol Jade: "I've seen enough. Control yourself, Master Wyyrlar. The judgment has already been rendered."
Mace Wyyrlar: "Then what's the :daisy: point of asking me for my defense after rendering judgment? This whole process is idiotic beyond belief. It will be your undoing!"
Sol Jade: "Take him away. Put him in the airlock, I'm tired of listening to this."
Several large, burly Jedi ignited their sabers and pushed Mace into the airlock, and closed it behind him. They watched as he stood fuming in the center of the hangar bay, waiting for the execution to commence. Suddenly, Mace went calm..... and was at peace. He grinned back at the Jedi, and the force field was released. He was blown out into space, where he lay motionless for a while. They left him outside for a long while, just to be sure. Then Sol Jade tractored his body back into the bay and restored pressure. They all gathered around his body, and Sol Jade lay hands on him to determine if he was still alive or n......
"Surprise! I told you I would survive this whole ordeal, and I was telling the truth! Now do you believe me?" Mace Wyyrlar said suddenly, startling Grandmaster Sol Jade. "The ability to survive out in space doesn't mean you're innocent." replied Jade. Mace Wyyrlar got up, and pushed the medical droids away from him. "I'm fine, get off of me. Now look, gentlemen, ladies, I'm going to begin my night watch rounds. If you want to find Sith, you'd better look someplace else!"
Some of the Jedi murmured. "This proves nothing either way. The Sith are known to have that power, but so are the Jedi." Sol Jade reminded them. "If so certain you are that this one is guilty, then we must remain vigilant."
Mace Wyyrlar sneered back at them "Yeah good luck with that. While you're wasting your time I'm going to go find the actual Sith."
Mace left the hangar bay, while the other Jedi remained behind and listened to Jade's instructions.
"I want you to report to the areas of the ship I assign you, in secret. While I respect Nomi's defense strategy, I don't feel that announcing it publicly was a good idea. Perhaps we will have better luck if your plans remain hidden from each other. Alpha shift, meet with me to find out where your watch begins, Beta shift, I will contact you privately and tell you where to go when the time is right. Those of you attending the promotion ceremony tonight, meet with me after the others leave, I want your ceremony's location to be secret until it is almost time. Everyone, be on your guard... we've seen the Sith attacks increasing and we failed to stop the Sith today. I expect more dead bodies in the morning if we are not careful. You're all dismissed."

Gall Rado was returning to his quarters, wondering what would become of this Mace Wyyrlar. As soon as he rounded the corner, he saw that there was a cloaked figure waiting for him in front of his doorway. He turned around and fled the scene, but the cloaked figure spotted him. Gall managed to make it halfway down the corridor when the figure appeared at the end of it, prepared to give chase. Thinking quickly, Gall stopped and summoned a burst of energy from the Force, and turned around. He unleashed the energy in a bright flash, enough to blind or stun most sentient life-forms. The attacker was fazed for a moment, but shrugged it off and unleashed a massive force scream.
The scream ripped through Gall Rado's body, and left the remains in a mess all over the deck plating. The attacker checked to make sure their victim was dead, and fled the scene.
Taun Jan was off patrolling the lower decks, on guard in case of an attack. Through her connection to the Force, she sensed danger, and tried to mask her force signature. She projected a false echo of herself several corridors over, and hoped for the best. She closed her eyes and concentrated.
Unknown: "Do you really think I'd fall for such a feeble trick?"
The cloaked figure standing in front of her grasped her by the throat, and lifted her up off of the ground.
Unknown: "So young.... so pretty.... I like you, Jedi. Your features please me. Perhaps you would be willing to become my mate?"
The cloaked figure bared its jagged fangs. Taun Jan struggled helplessly against the powerful grip, and could not breathe.
Unknown: "No need to play hard to get, now. If you desire me, just say so."
Taun Jan was getting just as furious as she was frightened. She tried to grab her lightsaber, but the cloaked figure gripped her by her wrist, and prevented her from swinging it.
Unknown: "I'm going to take that as a no."
The cloaked figure began tightening the grip around Taun Jan, crushing her windpipe and her wrist simultaneously. The young Jedi struggled furiously, but couldn't move.
Unknown: "I want you to know that I truly enjoyed our time together. Now, why don't we spend some time apart?"
The cloaked figure released the grip, and threw the body of Taun Jan against the bulkhead so viciously, that the impact crushed her ribcage. She died from these wounds.
Mace Wyyrlar was still furious from the treatment he received earlier. Instead of reporting for his assigned shift, he began pacing the halls, searching for something. When he reached the cargo bays, he began to patrol there. The spacious corridors down here were less claustrophobic.
Sensing he had been followed, Mace looked behind him, and saw that there was a cloaked figure on the far end of the corridor. He turned around to escape, and saw another cloaked figure on the near end of the corridor.
Mace Wyyrlar: "This just hasn't been my day...."
First Cloaked Figure: "No, Wyyrlar, the day is MINE!"
The figure on the near side of the corridor ignited a purple lightsaber and charged toward Mace, and would reach him first. The attacker used a standard Form III stance.
Mace responded by igniting his own emerald lightsaber, and took up a Form II stance.
The two powerful figures battled it out, and Wyyrlar was surprised to see his opponent suddenly switch in combat to a Form VI- Niman stance. This did not deter Wyyrlar, and he continued battling until he sensed the second cloaked figure approaching from behind. Now was his chance. He reached deeply into the Force, and unleashed a powerful wave that sent both figures flying in opposing directions. The first figure crumpled against the near wall, and was knocked unconscious. The second figure rolled to a stop, and quickly got back to their feet.
Second Cloaked Figure: "It is useless to resist. Don't make me destroy you."
Mace Wyyrlar held up his emerald lightsaber and began to advance in the Makashi stance. The second cloaked figure took a Soresu stance, but before the lightsaber battle could begin, the cloaked figure unleashed a Force Push of his own, knocking Wyyrlar to his backside, lowering his defenses. The cloaked figure raised his hands and they began to glow and crackle. Before Wyyrlar could recover, a bolt of lightning was sent through his body, causing him to drop his lightsaber. Mace Wyyrlar screamed helplessly, and tried to beg for mercy, but the anonymous attacker simply increased the amount of force lightning. The power of this attack caused Wyyrlar's skin to melt, and his body to begin to cook. He died painfully, and slowly.
The second cloaked figure looked up, and the first one was gone. The second one also retreated without saying another word.
An-Wan Dyas was patrolling the upper decks, monitoring the shields and weapons systems. The nights just seemed to be getting longer. She needed rest. She heard the sound of the turbolift at the end of the deck coming to a halt, and watched as a cloaked figure stepped off of the platform, blue lightsaber ignited.
Unknown: Your sword, please. I don't want to make a mess of things, An-Wan Dyas.
An-Wan said nothing, but ignited her blue lightsaber as well.
The cloaked figure advanced, in a Form II- Makashi stance, as did An-Wan Dyas. The two figures almost seemed to mirror each other's movements exactly. The style was perfect against a single opponent, as the two combatants matched each other thrust for parry, and counter-thrust. Each elegant swing was matched by an equally refined deflection. An-Wan attempted to use her senses to predict the movements of her opponent, but they could not.
Finally, the cloaked figure deflected a swing from An-Wan, and unleashed a massive blast of Light. The sudden blast of energy caused An-Wan to pause momentarily, but she was otherwise unaffected. The momentary hesitation allowed the cloaked figure to move in under her guard, and slice the blue lightsaber out of her hand, and then the cloaked figure twisted around and delivered a forceful kick to An-Wan's shoulders, and she went down. The blue lightsaber was pulled back into the cloaked figure's hand, and An-Wan watched helplessly as the mysterious attacker advanced, and held the two lightsabers on either side of her neck, ready to deliver the final cut.
She knelt before the victor, and prepared for her death.
Unknown: .........
The cloaked figure turned around and walked away, sparing An-Wan Dyas' life. She hurried off to the Medical Bay to get her hand reattached, wondering what the :daisy: just happened.
Mar-ial Nih Pho was busy repairing some of the starboard deflector shield generators, and didn't even notice the powerful presence that had just exited the turbolift and was now walking the corridors behind him.
The dark figure summoned energy as it walked towards Nih Pho, concentrating.... becoming one with the Force. Mar-ial finished with his repairs, but sensed danger approaching. He grabbed his purple lightsaber, and turned around quickly to face his foe. The dark figure raised its hands, and its eyes began to glow.
Sensing he was in extreme danger, Mar-ial Nih Pho abandoned the idea of standing and fighting, and just as the creature unleashed its power, Nih Pho used the power of the Force to Jump out of the path of whatever was coming his way.
There was no sound.
It all happened so fast.... there was not much that could have been seen.
In an instant, a Wound in the Force was created, and it ripped a hole clean through the Star Destroyer's hull, breaching several decks and annihilating the deck plating itself. A torrent of force energy so massive that the shockwave was felt by all force-sensitive beings all across the universe, erupted from the dark figure. There was nothing left in its wake.... Mar-ial Nih Pho was obliterated instantly, and time seemed to stand still. The compressed atmosphere on the deck failed to decompress into space. The ship rocked from the sudden explosion, and the emergency force fields failed to switch on automatically, to restore structural integrity.
Space and time had been ripped apart, and the Wound in the Force caused a pocket of Nothingness to appear. Everything that had been in the path of that blast, for several kilometers, was now vanished.... destroyed.... sent into oblivion.
The moment seemed to last for a full minute. The cloaked figure returned to the shadows from whence it came.
The ship continued along in its orbit of Coruscant, and moved away from the Wound in the Force that had been created, and space-time began to exist normally again. Power relays blew out all over the ship, and the deck began to decompress. After a sluggish hesitation, the ship finally erected a stable structural containment field around the gaping hole that had been created in the side of the Star Destroyer.

Sol Jade called a meeting of the Jedi Council in the morning. It seemed his prediction was right, there had been more attacks last night. More attacks indeed.
"After reviewing the security holograms, it seems clear that this ship is not even remotely safe. As Nomi Sunrider observed, the only reason why this ship is still mostly in one piece is because our foes wish it to be so. It seems beyond my current abilities to stop them from turning this Star Destroyer into nothing more than a scattering of radiation across half the galaxy. But I will study and try to find the source of this power, and hopefully, counter it."
The Jedi in attendance did not seem too enthusiastic about this grim assessment.
"If they wanted us all destroyed, we would be all destroyed. There is another purpose here. Remain vigilant, and put it out of your minds."
The Jedi nodded.
"It seems we were indeed wrong about Mace Wyyrlar, he was a Jedi. As was everyone else who died last night. We have failed to bring down the Sith, so we must start over, once again. Begin discussion, and make certain the ones you accuse are guilty this time! I grow weary of seeing our brothers and sisters slain for no reason!" Sol Jade bellowed.
"I will be back in a few hours. I must meditate and study. Continue with the proceedings."
With that, Sol Jade left for his quarters alone.

I want more activity, so it will take 30 people voting in order to cause a lynch this time. Otherwise it will be extended through Sunday.
Thread opens early. I have NOT prepared your updates in advance, so that will take several hours. I will send you quick results first, so you know what's up.

Sol Jade ended the discussion at the appropriate time and asked for a vote tally.
"Who have you determined is guilty?"
"An-Wan Dyas, Master."
"Very well, let the accused step forward and give their defense."
An-Wan Dyas: "I ask you to reconsider this course of action. I am not the one you're looking for. This is just a waste of time."
Sol Jade: "Perhaps, perhaps not. Why is it that you're innocent, Master Dyas?"
An-Wan Dyas: "A better question might be, why is it that I am guilty? I have been puzzling and puzzling over this, and frankly, I am at a loss. I've shown enthusiasm for finding the Sith, and that is the sole reason I've been accused it seems. And, the accusation never goes away; it merely feeds upon itself, and others confirm it, and it spreads to another person. Today I've been forced to endure the ridiculous reason that I should be put to death because I haven't already been put to death, and it nearly happened before."
Sol Jade: "I see.... "
An-Wan Dyas: "I am not questioning the loyalties of those accusing me, I am merely suggesting that they lack any reason whatsoever behind what they are doing. And, it doesn't seem to be all that different from previous days and nights. The same bad accusation gets recycled every day, and merely because it has been suggested before and it has not been resolved. What kind of mental loop is this? Are the Sith playing tricks with your minds?"
Sol Jade: "An-Wan, the only way we are going to stop the Sith hiding among us is to collectively think, and collectively find one of us guilty. This is the process we've chosen. Are you suggesting..."
An-Wan Dyas: "The process is fine. But look to how things have gone... people are supposed to be collectively thinking, but instead, they are allowing the group to think for them. Recent deaths have all been wrong, and all enjoyed massive, almost frightening popularity. Where is the debate? Where is the discussion? Where is the chance for a defense to really be given? I don't think the process is wrong, I think that inertia is leading us to our own doom."
Sol Jade: "A fine speech. I remember a Sith by the same of Darth Sidious, in the archives of the Jedi Order, once gave such impassioned speeches that he swallowed the entire Republic into an Empire of his own design. Are we to be persuaded by these pretty words? They sound quite reasonable, but anything can be twisted enough to sound reasonable. I don't trust you, Master Dyas. The council does not trust you. We must know what you are."
An-Wan Dyas: "Not today, you won't. I apologize, but I cannot allow myself to be destroyed in this manner."
Sol Jade: "Guardians, take An-Wan...."
An-Wan Dyas: "That's not what I mean. I'll go in the hangar bay and accept sentence, but I won't allow myself to die, that is all."
Sol Jade: "Your stubborn refusal to accept your fate is something I find curious."
An-Wan Dyas: "No less curious than Mace Wyyrlar's refusal to die, I am sure. But he was a Jedi, and so am I."
Master Dyas entered the hangar bay, and waited quietly for Sol Jade to give the order. She was blown out into space, where she held her breath and kept her body protected from the harsh void. Eventually she floated back into the hangar bay on her own, and pressure was restored. An-Wan Dyas had survived.
"Satisfied?" asked An-Wan Dyas.
"Not entirely.... but you're dismissed for now, Master Dyas." said Sol Jade. "Another wasted day. We must be on guard, as tonight there will be more attacks, this I am certain of. Everyone report to their assigned shifts after your training session is complete, or return to your quarters and get some rest. May the Force be with us."

Datian Guus kept careful watch over the damaged section. He was wary of the exposed decks below him, and the gaping hole leading out into space, protected only by a force field. It was his task to sound the alarm if someone attempted to bring down the shields in that section, as it could expose other Jedi to the vacuum of space.
He heard a sound in the distance, and sensing danger, he ducked into one of the nearby collapsed rooms. There was a lot of wreckage inside, and he was able to mask his force signature and remain silent.
After several heart-pounding minutes, he thought about looking up.... to see if someone had found him, but he remained perfectly silent. He concentrated and created an echo of himself a few decks away, hoping to distract whoever was searching for him.
A half-hour passed, and Datian made the echo disappear. He heard a loud roar of frustration, far away, and it was then that he decided to flee the scene altogether. He made it out alive.
_____________________________
Jenn Gon Rui was looking for someone. After shadowing their movements for a couple hours, they turned a corner and Jenn lost track.
Sensing danger, Jenn Gon Rui ignited her Gold Lightsaber.
"Who is there?" Jenn asked. Then, a cloaked figure came around the corner. Jenn stood in a classic Ataru stance, ready for anything. The cloaked figure said nothing.
Reacting instinctively, Jenn Gon Rui reached out with the force and gripped the cloaked figure and lifted the stranger up off of the ground, preventing escape.
Jenn Gon Rui: "I asked you a question. Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The figure struggled to escape, but it didn't work.
Jenn Gon Rui: "You're not going anywhere! You will answer, or I will call for reinforcements!"
The figure did not respond, but reached out with both hands, and began choking Jenn Gon Rui using the Force. This attack worked, as Jenn could not concentrate on keeping her opponent elevated and also prevent the attack. The hands tightened their grip, and Jenn's windpipe and lungs began to collapse. She struggled to breathe, but went down on her knees, trying to keep her opponent away. She couldn't continue the hold, and released the unidentified stranger, who landed softly on the deck plating, and continued to wound Jenn Gon Rui. The figure lifted her up, and sent her flying towards the blast doors on the far end of the corridor. Her body went completely through the solid duranium, but what remained was not all in one piece, or very recognizable. She was killed instantly.
_____________________________
Ushi Makoth was also near the damaged section of the ship, busy with repairs, when she heard a noise. She got up and began to investigate, her lightsaber at the ready. When she turned the corner, and saw the torn apart section, where three decks were exposed and the deck plating had been torn apart above where she was standing, she also noticed a cloaked figure on the far side of the corridor. She ignited her green lightsaber, and stood in a Makashi stance.
She assessed the situation and thought quickly what the most likely threats were. The figure did not have a lightsaber ignited, or visible, and was standing on the far side of the corridor. She quickly realized that there was going to be an attack from a distance, and she had just the remedy.
Without waiting for her opponent to move, she used the Force to leap high above the deck plating, performing a backward somersault in midair, and landing on the exposed deck three floors up. She sprinted down the corridor and used the Force to close the blast door behind her.
Her opponent wasn't quick enough to follow her, but she heard an awful noise, sounding almost like a scream, but this time it was more like a sonic boom. The deck plates underneath her feet shuddered from the vibration. She didn't look back. Somehow, she had survived the encounter.

Rian-ban Fo stood in the Engineering section, keeping watch over one of the Engine Reactors. His keen senses alerted him to the presence of a figure walking down the corridor, heading for his location.
Rian-ban ignited his lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu stance.
The cloaked figure entered the room, and saw Rian-ban with his saber ignited, and followed suit, also in a Soresu stance.
The two combatants stared at each other, wordlessly. They stepped forward, onto the metal scaffolding which was narrow and didn't provide much room for maneuvering except forward or backward. Their sabers met, and they clashed swords for several moments. The match was not even, as the figure holding the purple lightsaber easily deflected all of Rian-ban Fo's swings.
The cunning warrior with the purple blade used a mind trick to distract Rian-ban, and was able to get under his guard and deliver a glancing blow. But Rian was not quite human, and was able to continue fighting. Rian countered with a blast of blinding light, stunning the unknown attacker momentarily and causing the figure to be unable to see. Now was Rian-ban's chance, and he lunged.
The unknown attacker countered this move with a sudden Force Push, knocking Rian-ban to the deck and causing him to lose his grip on his lightsaber. The saber disengaged and clattered onto the deck plating far below. With Rian-ban's defenses gone, the unknown attacker delivered the finishing blow, and ended the young one's life. Deed done, the cloaked figure put away the purple lightsaber and exited the scene.
Ana Riya was guarding one of the security rooms, where the weapons were stored. It was not too long into Beta Shift before she was alerted to the sound of a turbolift stopping on her level. She quickly ignited her orange lightsaber and stood in a Makashi stance.
The cloaked figure stepped off of the turbolift, and began speaking.
Unknown: I thought I'd find you here, Ana. It is good to see that you're manning your post.
Ana Riya: Why are you here?
Unknown: There's no need to point that lightsaber at me, unless you intend to use it. Is that your intention?
Ana Riya: If you don't explain why you're here, I may be forced to.
Unknown: Yes, I see... those aggressive feelings you have, they make you powerful. Why do you hesitate? Why not use this moment where I am unarmed and attack me?
Ana Riya: There's no aggression here. Merely vigilance. What are you implying?
Unknown: What I'm implying is that you would be wise to either strike me down, or kneel before me, young Ana Riya. Learn to use the Dark Side of the Force, and become more than the pathetic shell that you are. Isn't that what you really want?
Ana Riya: *flatly* No. And if what you're saying is what you really want, then you are a Sith Lord.
Unknown: Am I? Not quite, Ana.... But perhaps you're not capable of being persuaded in this fashion. Maybe you'll show your true colors when you are at death's door....
The figure ignited a blue lightsaber.
Unknown: Defend yourself!
Ana Riya advanced on the unknown figure, lightsaber raised. Before their sabers could even meet, the cloaked figure unleashed a force wave which threw Ana across the corridor, causing her to drop her lightsaber. As she quickly rushed to grab it, her attacker charged forward and prepared to deliver the killing stroke. Before the figure was upon her, she used the force to leap over the attacker's head and rush toward the turbolift.
Without a moment's hesitation, the cloaked figure unleashed a torrent of electricity from his fingers, stopping Ana in her tracks. She turned to try to deflect the incoming lightning, but her Makashi training never dealt with this kind of attack. The lightsaber was blown out of her fingers, as she lay writhing on the ground, screaming in pain.
Unknown: It's all over, Riya.... it is useless to resist....
Ana Riya could do nothing but lay there screaming, trying to defend herself but there was nothing she could do. She pleaded with the unknown figure to stop, but the lightning continued. She experienced agony beyond her wildest imagination, and went unconscious.
When it was all over, the unknown figure checked the body. She was dead.
Disappointed, the cloaked figure exited the scene.

Sol Jade called a meeting of the Jedi Council in the morning, and played back the holographic recordings for all to see.
"Our efforts seem to have been in vain. I was almost sure we would have accomplished something useful last night, but I was mistaken. From the look of it, the same murderers are still at large, and we've failed to stop them. However, the good news is that two of us survived attempts on their life, so we must be thankful for these small blessings.
We must also remember the sacrifices made by those who have fallen in battle. Never forget the images you have seen here. Honor their memory by bringing me a Sith Lord today!"
The Jedi seemed discouraged by the losses. Sol Jade could do nothing to comfort them.
"Be of good cheer, fellow Jedi. We have new Masters and Knights ready to take the place of the fallen, ready to defend the Order. Dwell not on our failures, focus only on our future successes. That is the path Nomi would have you follow."

Sol Jade noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.
The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they were undecided, having narrowed it down to two potential candidates. The Jedi were pretty sure that at least one of the two had to be a Sith, as the two candidates together had managed to grab half of all possible votes.
"No we have not, Grandmaster." said Ronen Durdon.
"Who are the leading candidates?" Jade asked.
"Myself, and Master An-Wan Dyas."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Sol Jade said.
Ronen Durdon: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was busy hunting down the Sith last night. It could not possibly have been me. I can prove I am not a Sith! I resent the fact that I am even being accused..."
An-Wan Dyas: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was defeated in lightsaber combat on the eighth night by my attacker. I could have been killed, and yet, I did not show myself to be a Sith. I had no red lightsaber, and I also did not try to kill the one who defeated me! There's no way that I am a Sith. I do not understand why I am even being accused..."
Ronen Durdon: "The evidence proving my innocence is much stronger. I will not allow myself to be destroyed foolishly. This is pointless!"
An-Wan Dyas: "Your evidence doesn't prove that you're innocent, it proves that YOU killed a Jedi! We should go with what we know, which is that you are a killer among us. I'll defeat you in combat and prove that you're a Sith!"
Ronen Durdon: "I am no Sith, and I do not believe that you are either. This decision to force us into a duel is a mistake. I'm not going to accuse you out of spite, Dyas."
An-Wan Dyas: "You can't play innocent with me, you've already admitted to your crimes. Now face me in battle!"
Ronen Durdon: "For the last time, I was trying to remove the Sith myself, nothing different from what you're about to try to do, An-Wan. Moreover, it's nothing different from what we all have done every single day, which is to try, and fail, to remove a Sith from our midst using what is essentially vigilante justice. You all are accusing me of doing what each and every one of you has done, and it makes no sense! We are beings of reason, conscience, and righteousness.... I cannot believe that you would all allow this hunt to cloud your judgment so. Judge me as evil at your own peril, for I have done nothing different from what you have done yourself."
Sol Jade: "Enough! You've both been judged as suspicious by the Council. You are to face each other in battle to determine which of you dies. May the Force forgive us."

Lightsaber Battle: Ignoramus versus Joooray
Ronen Durdon entered the hangar bay from one side, and An-Wan Dyas entered from the other. The two combatants bowed to each other, and nodded in the direction of Sol Jade. Ronen Durdon knelt down and began to meditate, while An-Wan Dyas ignited her blue lightsaber and stood in a standard Makashi-style form. She stood at the ready, and began channeling the Force through her body in preparation for the battle.
Suddenly, Ronen Durdon stood up, his meditation complete, his mind focused. He ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu-style pose, and prepared to defend himself. An-Wan Dyas shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, which could easily deflect any possible projectiles. The two combatants advanced on one another.
Their sabers clashed, and they met each other blow for blow. An-Wan's movements were in the style of a true fencing master, with precise, accurate strikes, timely parries, and forceful, flowing slashes. Ronen's movements were short and less flowing, keeping a tight defense around his body, not allowing anything to get through. He was indeed powerful and strong, and he was undeterred by An-Wan's graceful attacks.
An-Wan stepped up her game, and continued with the Makashi style, utilizing her advanced training to press onward. Ronen, too, reached deep into his most advanced training to deflect all of her attacks. They both gained and gave ground, demonstrating nearly equal mastery of the saber. Ronen, however, seemed to have a slight edge, as he was able to control the course of battle masterfully. Soon it was An-Wan herself who was on the defensive, and began to give ground.
Ronen pressed the attack, and unleashed a powerful burst of Light in an attempt to weaken An-Wan. This tactic did not even faze An-Wan Dyas, and she used the moment of failure to reach deep into the Force herself, unleashing a greater connection. Her speed doubled, and then tripled, and her movements became nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.
Ronen was forced backwards, deflecting all of the powerful, blinding slashes with his short, quick movements. His deep concentration allowed him to keep up with Dyas, who seemed to be glowing with power, her blue blade shimmering. He was powerful enough to hold back the stronger, faster Dyas, by expending as little energy as possible on unnecessary movements. The two combatants fought with incredible valor, neither relenting, neither weakening.
Dyas reached even deeper into the Force, and reached down to the last of her training, and began to deliver acrobatic, graceful strikes from unexpected angles, demonstrating great innovation and creativity, trying to break down Ronen's defenses. She used the Makashi style in a less linear manner than she had been trained to do, and began to sidestep, roll, and jump to get around Soresu's tight frontal defense. Ronen had not seen such moves demonstrated with Makashi before, and was also forced to improvise.
Reaching as deeply into the Force as he could, he unleashed a blast of power; a wave of the force that sent An-Wan Dyas flying across the hangar bay. She landed against the far wall, where she had already turned around and braced herself, and used her powerful leg muscles to springboard off of the surface and land on the deck plating below, unharmed.
Ronen Durdon tried the move again, and reached deep into the Force, unleashing another wave which threw An-Wan across the hangar bay at the opposite wall, where she struck hard and was knocked to the floor, where she rolled to her feet, undeterred. He tried again, knocking An-Wan against the ceiling, and back against the floor, and back against the ceiling, trying to knock his opponent out. An-Wan simply reached deeper into the Force and strengthened her protective shield, which caused her to bounce harmlessly off of both surfaces.
Frustrated, Ronen Durdon released Dyas from his hold, and charged toward An-Wan, determined to strike her down. He unleashed a torrent of powerful Soresu strikes, quick and deliberate, trying to break her. But An-Wan's speed and strength caused her to be able to deflect all of these attacks. Ronen continued to advance, pounding An-Wan with a flurry of precise strikes, as An-Wan parried them. She was backed into the wall, which she propelled herself off of and over the head of Durdon, as he tried to cut her down in midair. She gracefully deflected the swing, and landed on her feet, and tried to break Ronen's defenses again. Her counterattack was enough that Durdon also had to become creative with his movements, and roll out of danger, leap to avoid a downward cut, and lean back to avoid a horizontal cut that could have been fatal.
Ronen unleashed another wave and pushed Dyas out of range, to give himself some space. She rolled to her feet and continued to advance on Durdon. The two combatants clashed sabers again, giving it everything they had, utilizing all of their training and all of their mastery of the saber and the force and of their own minds and bodies. They fought toward the center of the hangar bay, where Durdon managed to swing himself around and deliver a horizontal cut, which Dyas deflected, but he continued the motion and delivered a leg sweep that knocked Dyas to the deck. He stood over her, ready to finish it, but she quickly delivered a swift kick to his knee, and he also fell to the deck plating. As he fell, he grabbed onto Dyas' lightsaber by the hilt, and tried to force her weapon out of the way so he could deliver the finishing blow. He unleashed another blast of Light to try to stun Dyas, again to no effect, and she grabbed his own lightsaber by the hilt and the two combatants grappled, rolling on the deck, each trying to gain some advantage over the other.
Ronen tried to unleash another blast of Force Wave at Dyas, but in such close quarters he found himself surrounded by the protective bubble that encased her body, and the only effect was that both of them went hurtling toward the ceiling, bounced off of it, and collapsed back onto the deck below. They continued rolling on the deck, until Durdon finally had Dyas pinned down, and he began forcing her own lightsaber back at her throat. Dyas, reaching deep, unleashed her speed and strength and reversed Durdon's lightsaber back toward his throat, and held back Durdon's greater strength and leverage, preventing herself from being decapitated. Durdon held back Dyas' counterattack, and forced his own saber forward as well...
Dyas twisted her body around, knocking Durdon off-balance, and then rolled in the opposite direction to avoid the killing blow. She twisted herself free of Durdon's grip, and gracefully did a backflip, avoiding another strike, and deftly dodged sideways to avoid another. She stood toe to toe with Durdon, and they clashed sabers one more time... her connection to the Force weakening, her shield finally began to buckle. Durdon unleashed one last wave of the Force at Dyas. They were standing so close to each other, that the wave blasted both Ronen Durdon and An-Wan Dyas in opposite directions, both of them slamming hard into the duranium on either side of the hangar bay. Durdon was the first to recover and stand up, but he saw that Dyas was also coming to. He disengaged his lightsaber and retreated out the nearby airlock. An-Wan also disengaged her lightsaber, and limped to the opposing airlock. Durdon had been unable to deliver the finishing blow, as Dyas proved to be too elusive. Dyas could not break Durdon's defenses. The contest ended without a death.

Sol Jade and the other Jedi watched it all happen. When it was over, Sol Jade's brow furrowed slightly. "Hmmm......"
He paused.
"It seems that the contest ended in a draw. This is getting us nowhere. We don't have time for this, we need to prepare for tonight's duties. Everyone proceed to your assigned sections, or get some sleep. You have your orders already."

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/CmWzXCTrTXY?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/CmWzXCTrTXY?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Nor Stry-hoth sat in his chair, keeping a watchful eye on the display screen in front of him. His task was to guard one of the many hundred weapons fire control rooms, located near the bow of the ship. Behind him was the large firing chamber itself, a cylindrical device capable of generating a concentrated burst of power so incredible that it could shatter a small moon in a single blast. The room was cramped and didn't leave a lot of room for maneuvering. He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the nearby corridor, and it was not time for him to be relieved of duty yet.
He immediately stood up and prepared to ignite his yellow lightsaber in a basic Form I stance.
Then it appeared. The cloaked figure stepped into view. Nor quickly noted that the being did not have a lightsaber protecting its body, and reached out with the Force to generate the energy he would need.
Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!
Unknown figure: .......
The cloaked figure raised its hands, and Stry-hoth immediately felt as if he was being choked. Reacting quickly, Nor unleashed a beam of concentrated protons at the exposed body of his attacker. Almost immediately, the choking stopped, and the cloaked being roared with a mixture of pain and frustration as the energy tore through its body. Nor Stry-hoth engaged his lightsaber and repeated the command.
Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!
The cloaked being repeated the attack, only this time with more power behind it. Nor Stry-hoth could feel his ribcage being compressed, and bones began to snap. He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He reached out and unleashed another proton beam, which ripped through the body of his attacker. The choking and compression eased slightly, but the cloaked creature continued standing, howling in pain, almost brought to its knees, but it remained focused on the attack. Nor could take no more, and had run out of energy.... the beam discontinued. The cloaked being immediately threw all it had into the attack, finishing Stry-hoth, and Nor's chest collapsed under the pressure. Purple blood shot out of his nose, and all the capillaries in his body burst. Nor's lightsaber clattered to the ground, and disengaged.
The victorious creature slammed Nor's body into the firing chamber, killing him instantly, crushing what remained of his body and incinerating it in the large explosion which followed. Power relays blew out all across the deck, and it took some time for the back-up power generators to activate the fire suppression system.
The cloaked being escaped back into the shadows.
Datian Guus was returning to his quarters after his shift, heading down one of the many long, barely-illuminated corridors in the bowels of the ship. He turned a corner and noticed a cloaked figure standing at the far end of the hall, and immediately ducked back behind the corner, and began to mask his force presence. That's when he looked back and saw another cloaked figure rounding the corner and heading in his direction from the opposite side. Apparently his mind trick wasn't working.
Sensing that death was yonder, he immediately ignited his purple lightsaber and stood in a Form II stance.
Datian Guus: Stand back, whoever you are! I'm really not in the mood for this!
First cloaked figure: That's a real shame....
Second cloaked figure: Well, this is unexpected.
The first cloaked figure noticed the second one approaching, but retained its focus on Datian Guus.
First cloaked figure: It's the end for you, Datian.
Mill Kunaay: Not if I have anything to say about it!
The first cloaked figure looked up, and saw that a panel in the ceiling had been removed, and a robed Jedi landed between them, standing in the way, as if protecting Datian Guus. The jedi ignited her lightsaber.
Second cloaked figure: How amusing. Two for the price of one.
First cloaked figure: Do you really think you can stop me?
Mill Kunaay: I'm willing to die trying.
First cloaked figure: So be it...
The powerful being reached deep into the Force, and tapped its power. It began drawing Force energy from the area where Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay were standing, sapping their connection to the Force and sucking the life out of them. A vortex appeared, swallowing up the energy generated by both Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay.
Mill centered herself, and concentrated hard, shielding her mind from the effects of the attack, and Datian Guus as well. Her mind hardened further, as she had foreseen this attack coming.
Her powerful mind was able to turn back the power of the Dark Side. The first cloaked being seemed utterly in shock that the attack had been repelled by this young woman. The second one began laughing.
Second cloaked figure: Oooh, feisty, I like that.
First cloaked figure: You're going to pay for that, foolish one.
Mill Kunaay tapped deeper into the Force and lifted up the first cloaked being using telekinesis.
First cloaked figure: What?? No, this is impossible!
The first cloaked being was slammed against the wall of the corridor, and then against the other, and then back again. Mill Kunaay tossed its body down the corridor like a rag doll, pummeling it with repeated body slams. As if that weren't enough, she began spinning the cloaked figure around and around, causing the being to lose its concentration.
Datian Guus: Master Kunaay, what about the other one?
Second cloaked figure: *mocking* Yes, Master Kunaay, what about the other one?
Mill tossed the powerful creature down the corridor, where it immediately got to its feet and fled the scene to cut its losses. The two Jedi began advancing on the remaining cloaked figure, lightsabers burning brightly.
Second cloaked figure: I bet you two are just brimming with confidence after your victory.
Datian Guus: You might say that.
Second cloaked figure: Good.... twice the pride, double the fall.
Mill Kunaay's precognition informed her of what was about to happen next.
Mill Kunaay: Oh no.... Datian, get out of here!
Second cloaked figure: Hahahahahahaha!!!
The second cloaked figure reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a powerful sonic wave.... coming from both sides of the corridor. The two Jedi turned quickly to scramble out of the hole in the ceiling tiles, but there just wasn't enough time.
The bodies of both Jedi were crushed from the impact of the double wave of power.... and the remains shattered from the intense vibrations. The entire hallway was destroyed, sending tremors throughout the ship and filling the corridor with gas from the ruptured piping.
The second cloaked figure left the scene, victorious.

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/tIl7-rDOuTM?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/tIl7-rDOuTM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Master Ronen Durdon stood in one of the observation rooms near the command center of the ship. His keen senses told him what was about to happen, and he readied himself for it.
Durdon: I knew you would come for me.
Unknown: I've been watching you.
Durdon: Shadowing my movements?
Unknown: .....
The cloaked figure ignited its purple lightsaber.
Unknown: Your sword, Master Durdon.
Durdon: If I must.
Ronen ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic, defensive, Form III- Soresu stance. His attacker was positioned in a Form V- Djem So stance.
Unknown: Really, Soresu? You've not been keeping up with your lightsaber training, have you Master Durdon?
Durdon: It hasn't failed me yet.
Unknown: There's a first time for everything.
Both of the figures paused momentarily, to center themselves. Then, in an instant, the carnage began. The figure with the purple lightsaber was clearly the aggressor, savaging Master Durdon with powerful attacking blows, attempting to break Durdon's defenses. Djem so was a continuation of the Soresu battle philosophy, except that instead of focusing on defense and waiting for your opponent to make mistakes, Djem so seeks to retain a solid defense while creating opportunities for attack. It isn't called the Way of the Krayt Dragon for nothing.
Durdon, for his part, was able to keep up with the attacker who was so skilled with the blade. More impressive was that he was still weary from his previous battle, and unable to perform many of the same acrobatic tricks as before. The blades met, crashing together repeatedly, the attacker seeking to wear out or break down the defender, and the defender expending as little energy as possible. It was still clear that Soresu was inadequate for the task, because the powerful blows caused by Djem so were beginning to wear down Master Durdon anyway.
Backed into a corner, Master Durdon propelled himself over the head of his attacker, assisted by the Force. But this trick nearly cost him his life, as it was only sheer luck that his attacker failed to capitalize on the exposed body sailing over its head. In the end it did nothing but gain him some more room to retreat.
Durdon: Powerful, you have become....
Unknown: Likewise.
The two beings battled on throughout the night. Durdon was completely unable to gain the advantage, and was running out of options. However, his attacker also began to tire, which gave Durdon the ability to continue fighting. They were too evenly-matched... but something had to give.
Durdon: It seems that this contest cannot be decided by our skill with a lightsaber.
Unknown: Don't try it...
Durdon hesitated for a moment to gather Force energy, and his assailant took the opportunity to deliver a blow which broke Durdon's lightsaber in half. Just as his attacker was about to deliver the final blow, Durdon unleashed a massive blast of power, creating a whirlwind of the Force.
His assailant managed to use a mind trick and the blast was mis-directed, but the assailant still needed to move out of the way. When he looked up, he saw that Master Durdon had fled the scene intact.
Frustration boiled through the cloaked being, but in the end, it said nothing, and disengaged its purple lightsaber, and calmly walked out of the observation room. It seemed that the contest was a draw.

Sol Jade- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/FwZLaA5RoNA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Grandmaster Sol Jade gathered everyone together in the morning. They all reviewed the security holograms.
"Mill Kunaay was nearly able to spare the life of Datian Guus, but she could not turn back both attackers. They will both be remembered, and honored for their sacrifice. I note also that Master Ronen Durdon survived his encounter with whoever it was that attacked him. But young Padawan Nor Stry-hoth was not so fortunate.
I am therefore forced to promote All'uan Kraytous to the rank of Jedi Knight. May your service honor the memory of those who have fallen."
The young Jedi nodded, and accepted the promotion.
"Kenth Cogma and Bos Dhi Kao, you have also completed your training. I hereby grant you the rank of Master. We need experienced Jedi like Mill Kunaay to turn back the power of the Dark Side. I know you are both up to the challenge."
Both masters nodded.
"I have had a vision that the Force is coming back into balance. Our numbers may be fewer, but our powers are increasing. We will be able to turn back the Sith, I have foreseen this. But the Dark Side is still present, and it may be clouding my perceptions. Nothing is set in stone.
You must press onward. Today, I ask you to bring me a Sith. You must do this, to honor those who have fallen, and turn back the tide of bloodshed. May the Force be with you."
With that, the Jedi began their discussion.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
There have been promotions in Rank.

Night phase ending/thread opening early. You may use the extra time. I need at least 25 people voting to end the round on November 21st at 11:59:59 PM.
I do not have your results done in advance. It could take a couple hours to update everyone, and in fact I cannot even do it right away. I will send out quick results only to people who have performed active abilities, because I have to run. I will update you all ASAP.

Sol Jade noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Ushi Makoth."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend herself." Sol Jade said.
Ushi Makoth: "This foolish council can do whatever it wants. Sure, go ahead and throw me out into space. Fat lot of good it will do you, too. Though I suppose we should be thankful that we won't be killing one of our own again. Perhaps more of us will live to see Jedi Knight."
Sol Jade: "Ushi, I urge you to take these proceedings seriously."
Ushi Makoth: "How can I? Each death is more absurd than the last. Though frankly I shouldn't be surprised. The only person here who has actually managed to destroy a Sith, that being with the purple lightsaber, would probably be thrown out into space too. There's really nothing I can say to convince you otherwise, is there?
Sol Jade: "The Dark Side is strong, and clouds...."
Ushi Makoth: "...everything, yes I know."
Sol Jade: "Anything you say could be something a Sith would say to defend themselves. We listen, but we cannot be persuaded by lies."
Ushi Makoth: *holds her face in her hands in frustration* "Very well. Let us get this over with. Let the blind lead the blind straight over a precipice. Perhaps some in the rear of the line will learn eventually; we can only hope. Or does hope lead to the Dark Side as well?"
Sol Jade: "Ushi, if you will...."
Ushi Makoth stepped into the airlock, where she scowled at the remaining Jedi, and held her breath as the force field was released and she was blown out into space. She lay motionless for a while, but stayed close to the ship. Then she began doing somersaults and other acrobatic maneuvers to indicate she was still alive and unharmed. For several more long minutes she floated in space, until finally Sol Jade took mercy on her. Even the power to keep one alive in such conditions did not make it any less painful, and so she was brought back inside. She collapsed as the force field was restored and pressure returned.
Ushi Makoth: "Took you long enough."
She passed out.
Sol Jade: "Take her to the medical bay and treat her. This was supposed to be a lawful execution, not a means of torment. Ease her suffering, and inform me when she is ready to return to duty."
As the other Jedi carted the young female away, Sol Jade grumbled in frustration. How many days in a row would end without a death? The last Jedi executed on the ship was Cah Andwal, and none of the Sith had perished that way.
It was time to meditate. This night would be torment for Sol Jade himself, as it was finally time for the second Knighting ceremony. And there would be far too many in attendance to make this a safe affair for any of them.

Night Phase ends at 11:59:59 PM, Wednesday November 24th. This is going to be quite a difficult night phase for the game host, as your initiates who became padawans are now scheduled to all promote to Jedi Knight.
As you might imagine that's going to eat up a lot of my free time and you'll have to bear with me and be patient. Thank you.
Don't forget to send in orders, or you will do nothing all night.

Xando Caecilius was heading to the Knighting ceremony when he was stopped by a hooded figure.
Sensing he was in danger, Xando quickly ignited his blue lightsaber.
The stranger reacted by igniting a yellow lightsaber, wordlessly.
Xando quickly stood in a Makashi stance, and the hooded figure stood in an Ataru stance. They wasted no time. The hooded figure began the attack, and soon overwhelmed the young Padawan. It was all Xando could do to keep up with this menacing attacker, and very quickly, his saber was cut in half, disarming Xando. The cloaked figure prepared to unleash the final blow, but Xando reached out with the Force, and pushed the cloaked figure to the deck plating, surprising the superior fighter.
Xando fled the scene with his life, barely evading his attacker.
___________________________
Kin Barr was also heading to the Knighting ceremony, when she was stopped by a hooded figure.
Reacting quickly, she stood in a Shii-Cho stance and ignited her lightsaber.
Without even flinching, the hooded figure raised its hands and they began to crackle. Kin Barr knew what was coming, and so she centered herself. The powerful being unleashed a devastating blast of Chain Lightning. The lightning not only impacted Barr but also ricocheted off of the deck plating and the walls of the corridor and reflected into the young woman. She tried to evade the blast with a Force Jump, but there was no escape. The blast hit her with full power and knocked her down to the deck plating.
The powerful being stopped to see if Kin Barr was dead, but she began to stir... she stood up and tried to defend herself with her lightsaber, trying to deflect the energy as she had seen her Master do. But the way she was holding the blade was more suited to a Jedi trying to deflect blaster shots from a training droid. She was also far from a master of the Shii-cho form, which was also never intended for this kind of combat.
The energy hit her lightsaber, and blew it completely out of her hand, leaving her exposed. The lightning continued, and her young body was knocked back to the ground, where it lay in agony and pain, until she went unconscious. The energy continued to flow from the hands of the cloaked figure, until the being was certain she was dead.
A smoking corpse was all that remained of a once-beautiful young lady Jedi. The figure fled the scene.

An-Wan Dyas was not at her post, where she had been ordered to watch one of the warp reactors. She looking for someone that night, someone in particular. She closed her eyes and reached out with the Force, and she could tell that the person she was looking for was playing mind tricks on her. While the force signature came from her front, she knew enough to turn around. And there he was, the being she sought.
Traruyn Ura: Master Dyas, what a surprise to see you here. I thought you were going to be watching the warp reactors tonight as you were instructed?
An-Wan Dyas: In the name of the Jedi Council, I am placing you under arrest, my young apprentice.
Traruyn Ura: There must be some mistake, my Master. I have done nothing wrong. I've been a model for other aspiring Jedi. I've trained very hard under your lead, and I've learned almost everything you have taught me. I was just on my way to the Knighting ceremony. Can't this wait until then? I've always wanted to be a full Jedi knight.
An-Wan Dyas ignited her blue lightsaber.
An-Wan Dyas: I'm giving you an order, as your Master. You're under arrest, and you will obey my commands.
Traruyn Ura: Master Dyas, what has gotten into you? This is not like you at all. Is it possible you've turned to the Dark Side?
An-Wan Dyas said nothing.
Traruyn Ura: My Master, without some reason for this "arrest" I am afraid I cannot comply. What are you charging me with? What crime have I committed?
An-Wan Dyas: If my senses are correct, you have been killing your superiors. Is this true?
Traruyn Ura: Oh Master Dyas, I can assure you, I have done no such thing. Even if that were true, I would only have done so in defense of the Republic, in the name of the free people of Coruscant, and with the express permission of the Jedi Council. I don't recall Nomi Sunrider ever condemning the use of force in bringing down Sith lords, especially under these circumstances.
An-Wan Dyas: How many Sith have you slain, my young padawan?
Traruyn Ura: It's impossible to count them all, really. There have been so.... so many. You might say I've been responsible for bringing us this far, so close to wiping out all the Sith. I really am one of the most vital members of this Council. I've done far more good than you have, my Master.
An-Wan Dyas: Your saber, please. Hand it to me.
Traruyn Ura: I'm afraid I cannot allow you to have it. You might use it to kill me. I don't trust you, my Master. In fact, I believe that it is you who are a Sith Lord. And like all the others before you.... I am going to have to make you die. Please forgive me, my Master, as I no longer have a choice.
With that, young apprentice Traruyn Ura ignited his magenta lightsaber.
Traruyn Ura stood in a Form VII- Juyo stance, and began to center himself.
An-Wan Dyas: What kind of saber stance is that? I know I never taught you something that advanced.
Traruyn Ura: You've failed to teach me a great many things. In order to be a useful and powerful Jedi, I'm afraid I've had to consult other more reliable sources for information. It is the only way I could be of some use to the Jedi Order. Now it is time to say good-bye, my Master.
While the pair were speaking, a third figure emerged from the shadows.
Unknown: Oh, don't let me interrupt. Please, continue.
An-Wan Dyas and Traruyn Ura began to engage each other. The younger, less experienced apprentice was fighting with skill that far surpassed his training, but An-Wan was able to keep up. The advanced Juyo attacks were parried skillfully by the Master's elegant Makashi moves. The younger apprentice was frustrated, and began hacking away at An-Wan with all of his strength, but nothing could break through. After a few minutes of battle, the more powerful An-Wan reached deep into the force, and her speed and strength doubled. Taking her apprentice by surprise, An-Wan broke the magenta lightsaber into pieces, and delivered a swift kick to the face of the young one. He went tumbling down to the deck plating, unarmed.
Unknown: HAHAHAHAHAHA..... goood..... goooooooood. Very good, Master Dyas. Now.... finish him.
An-Wan Dyas: Get up, Traruyn. If a Jedi is to meet his death, they have a right to do it on their feet, with their eyes open.
Traruyn Ura: You're most gracious, Master Dyas. I would welcome the opportunity for you to meet death on your feet.
The younger padawan stood, waiting for An-Wan to deliver the fatal blow, with a smirk on his face. An-Wan swung her lightsaber, and Ura ignited his red lightsaber, and blocked the attack. He began laughing hysterically.
Traruyn Ura: Now, Master Jedi, it's time for me to teach you a lesson you won't ever forget.
Unknown: Not so fast, "Traruyn". You had your chance, and now it's my turn.
Traruyn Ura: What the :daisy: are you talking about? This kill is MINE!
Unknown: Not if I have anything to say about it.
An-Wan Dyas: This is just not my day....
With a swift motion, the unknown cloaked figure waved its hands, and An-Wan fell to the ground, as if the Force had been cut off from her completely. She had never felt so vulnerable before.
Unknown: And now, Master Dyas.... you will die.
The cloaked figure reached deep into the force, and a massive vortex opened up around An-Wan Dyas. The Dark Vortex continued to swirl and expand until it was a massive, raging maelstrom. The energy of the Force, and all life inside the maelstrom, was being drawn toward the powerful unknown cloaked being. Traruyn Ura dove out of the way to avoid being hit by the attack.
An-Wan felt the life drain out of her, and all was lost. She blacked out.
But then, it all stopped. An-Wan came to, and realized she wasn't dead. She grabbed her lightsaber and stood up, and saw that surrounding her body was a magnificent Wall of Light. The powerful force energy had turned back the power of the maelstrom, and the swirling dark vortex raged outside of the wall of light.
But where was it coming from? An-Wan had no way of generating such a powerful defense, she had been temporarily severed from the Force. Who had spared her?
The cloaked being raged furiously.
Unknown: YOU MISERABLE WEAKLING!!! I WILL DESTROY YOU, I SWEAR IT!! I SWEAR IT, AN-WAN DYAS, I WILL DESTROY YOU!!! YOU ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD!!!
Traruyn Ura: Looks like it's up to me, once again, to finish what you cannot.
Traruyn reached deep into the Force and began choking An-Wan Dyas. She was lifted up off of the ground, and felt herself grow faint. She could feel her chest being compressed and crushed by powerful forces..... and then....
The wall of light was erected on the other side of Dyas, cutting off the force attack. Dyas crumpled to the ground, mostly unharmed.
Traruyn Ura: NO!!! NO!!!! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
The unknown figure fled the scene, leaving Traruyn Ura to fend for himself against An-Wan Dyas.
The Wall of light continued to surround Master Dyas, who felt the Force return to her, as well as her speed and centering. She stood and opened her eyes, and looked at Traruyn Ura with calm determination. She raised a finger and began to wave it back and forth.
An-Wan Dyas: "Tsk, tsk tsk. Much to learn you still have, my young Padawan."
Traruyn held his red lightsaber in a defensive posture, and prepared to turn back the elder Jedi.
Traruyn Ura: This isn't over, my Master. This is just the beginning. You will not live long enough to savor this moment.
With incredible speed and concentration, An-Wan rushed Traruyn Ura and they clashed sabers. The young Sith snarled at An-Wan, beating back the blows, and performing incredible feats of acrobatic skill to avoid being hit with the blade. For a long time they clashed swords, and in the end, An-Wan was slightly faster than Traruyn. With one smooth cut, she nearly decapitated the young Sith, but he ducked just in time, and ignited the other end of his blade and prepared to deliver the finishing blow.
An-Wan reacted swiftly, by slicing the double-bladed saber in half, and kicking the remaining functional blade out of Traruyn's hands. Traruyn kneeled before the Master Jedi, with a look of pure hatred.
Darth Aggony: You...... you...... wretched little filth! Do it, finish me, you sniveling COWARD! I want you to do it. Nothing would make me happier in all the world, you pathetic squirming sack of maggots.
An-Wan Dyas: "Good-bye, my young friend. I will miss you."
With that, An-Wan Dyas impaled the young Sith in the chest, and he fell over, and soon died. An-Wan put away her lightsaber, and closed the young man's eyes. She walked back to her quarters, alone.

Sol Jade stood in the command center of the ship, eyes closed, meditating. The Knighting ceremony had gone well. But someone was coming up the turbolift to greet him, he could sense it. As soon as the powerful being stepped off the turbolift, the Grandmaster knew who it was. He centered himself.
With his powerful Force Sight, he could see the approaching cloaked figure in his mind, without even turning around.
Sol Jade: I know you're here, so you might as well not even bother.
Unknown: Sol Jade.... Grandmaster of the Order. And yet, the I sense the Dark Side in you. How can this be, my old friend?
Sol Jade: I know much that is hidden, as apparently you do.
Unknown: You know what I must do. You're under arrest, "your grace".
Sol Jade: I don't think so.
Sol Jade raised his hands and unleashed a powerful blast of Force Light, which reflected off of the cloak, leaving the being unharmed. Sol Jade uttered a low growl of frustration. He drew the twin sabers from his belt and ignited them both, in the Makashi style.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png
In response, the unknown attacker reached deep into the Force, and the Grandmaster began to choke. He felt his consciousness drifting from him, as the powerful being was able to break through the Grandmaster's formidable mental defenses. The Grandmaster threw Force Light at his attacker, once again, to no effect. The cloaked being was not harmed by the move.
Sol Jade knew of another way to counter this attack, but he was losing consciousness.... his connection to the Force failed him, and his mind blacked out. His body was slammed against the wall of the command center, and against the other wall.... crushing his chest. But his attacker wasn't finished.
The cloaked figure reached out with both hands, and gripped the Grandmaster tightly, and began slamming the body of the elderly Jedi against the ceiling, and the deck, smashing him over and over and over again, crushing and squeezing the life out of him, and then threw his body against the transparent aluminum windows shielding the front of the command center, killing him instantly.
The deck began to decompress, as the atmosphere blew out of the hole in the transparent aluminum, until the structural integrity force fields engaged, and the room repressurized. Blast shields came down and covered the hole in the hull, further sealing the compartment.
Sol Jade's destroyed remains drifted out into space. He was gone forever.

Ronen Durdon sensed his attacker approaching, as he sat in the empty cargo bay, meditating. He was focusing his thoughts very deeply, and was able to see a vision of things to come.
Ronen Durdon: I've been waiting for you.
Cloaked figure: ......
The cloaked figure stood in a Form V stance, and ignited the purple lightsaber.
Ronen Durdon ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood, ready for the attack, in the familiar Form III: Soresu stance.
Cloaked figure: Still using Soresu? You must have known I'd come prepared for that.
Ronen Durdon: Prepare myself for your arrival, I have. Let us see which of us is the strongest.
The two masters of the blade met, and the aggressive style of the cloaked figure was met with the quick defensive style of Master Durdon. The Master parried all of the aggressor's attacks, seeming very confident, as if anticipating all of the aggressor's movements. This seemed to catch the aggressor off-guard, but the attacker pressed onward with renewed vigor and attempted to misdirect Durdon with a mind trick.
Durdon was not distracted by this move, and in fact reached deeper into the Force, and concentrated his strength, becoming doubly powerful. The advantage became overwhelming, and soon, Master Durdon was able to break the attacker's lightsaber in half.
Unfazed, the attacker unleashed a terrible blast of Force Lightning at Master Durdon, which caught him off-guard. It knocked the master to the ground. Pressing the attack, more Force Lightning was shot at Durdon, who screamed in agony.
Reaching out with the Force, master Durdon unleashed a massive whirlwind of the Force at his attacker, which slammed the cloaked being against the walls of the cargo bay and against the deck. But even though this move caused the cloaked figure to stagger, it unleashed another blast of Force Lightning at Master Durdon. Reacting quickly, Durdon raised his lightsaber in defense of his body.
Using the Soresu stance, Master Durdon held the saber close to his body, at just the right angle, and concentrated. The strength of his body and mind enabled him to steady himself, and through the pain, he was able to use his saber as a lightning rod. The powerful torrents of Force Lightning were all now being channeled directly into his glowing blue blade.
He began advancing on his attacker, with a determined expression on his face. The Force Lightning continued, but none of it was hitting Master Durdon. Master Durdon attempted to angle his blade so that the Force Lightning would be re-directed back towards his attacker. The cloaked being raised its hands and deflected it away from his body, causing the computer control panel in the corner of the cargo bay to explode, and the outer bay doors began to open, as alarms started blaring.
Showing some frustration, the cloaked attacker abandoned the broken lightsaber and the victorious Durdon, and fled the scene intact.
Master Durdon put away his saber, and reached out with the Force to close the outer bay doors. He sighed with relief. He was still alive.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

In the morning, everyone was surprised to see that Ronen Durdon had an announcement. It seemed as though Sol Jade had been slain in the night, and left a hologram message for everyone to see.
Sol Jade: In the event of my death, the following Masters will be considered as my replacement. At the top of the list, is Master Ronen Durdon....
Grandmaster Ronen Durdon: "It is my sad duty to replace our fallen leader, Grandmaster Sol Jade. However, I understand and welcome the responsibilities I have been given. I sense that our former Grandmaster had fallen to the Dark Side, but how far he had fallen, I do not know. What I do know is that he was NOT a Sith, and some of the records show that he had been acting in our best interest. I haven't fully read the logs recorded in the Jedi Holocron, but it seems at the end, he had chosen the Light Side over the Dark. Because of this, he leaves behind a mixed legacy. He may have broken the Jedi Code, but it would be a stretch to call him a being of evil. If he had indeed returned to the Light, we have lost a powerful ally indeed.
That being said, one of the bodies found last night was Traruyn Ura, or as some logs found in his room indicate, Darth Aggony. He seemed to be a lesser Sith, possibly an apprentice. That means the Master still lives. If we can destroy the Master, then I know we will have made some progress.
We also lost Padawan Kin Barr last night. This young one was definitely one of us, and had committed no crimes. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her. I have much to do. The Jedi Holocron has much data on it I need to analyze. Please excuse me while I go study it.
Find me the Sith, let us finish this once and for all!"
With that, the Jedi began their discussion.

FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS (READ, PLEASE)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:I will send out quick results for everyone, and you'll get a full PM upgrade as fast as I can get them out, which may not be very fast at all.
Reminder: Many people got promoted to Jedi Knight. If you were, you must send me the following, and DO NOT FORGET. Choose a new saber form to add to your knowledge, which you can use instead of the one you were previously using (Choose from the remaining forms you do not know, any one of the following-
- Form I
- Form II
- Form III
- Form IV
- Form V
- Form VI
Also, while you're at it, tell me if you wish to specialize or remain balanced.
- Learn mostly Lightsaber abilities
- Learn mostly Force abilities
- Remain balanced
If you tell me nothing, you won't get a new saber power (tough luck for not paying attention and not bothering to play) and you will remain balanced.
EVEN MORE ANNOUNCEMENTS (READ, PLEASE)
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:This round ends when 48 hours have passed, or if 24 hours have passed and I have 25 people voting. Why? Because participation at this point should be the whole reason why you're playing. I want to see you voting. I'm going to WOG all inactive people from this point on, without exception, unless you tell me why ahead of time. I've been super lenient, about a great many things. That leniency ends today and now. Have fun, but no more inactivity. 5 rounds of no vote and you cease to exist. :evil: And the Sith will remind me if people have been inactive, because they want you dead.
Replacements will be rare and under extraordinary circumstances. 10 rounds of play have happened, this isn't the beginning of the game anymore. I have YLC on standby if I need to replace someone, but my default action is to make the character die. Fair warning.
- Remember: The order in which you send in your actions, first and second, matter. It's in the how to play section of the game, you should re-read it. This is the last time I'm going to do the courtesy of reminding you.
- Remember: If you do not specify a target for your active power, it won't happen, and it will fail. No exceptions, from here on out, for any reason.
Post 2066 of the Game Thread

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Xando Caecilius."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.
Xando Caecilius: "This council has once again chosen incorrectly. However, I will be a greater asset to the Jedi Council once I have become one with the Force. I accept this decision, incorrect though it may be."
Ronen Durdon: "Is that all? You've nothing more to add?"
Xando Caecilius: "What more is there to say? If this is the will of the Force, then there is no point in opposing it. I will continue to watch out for you and do what I can. I only regret not being able to convince you of my innocence in time. I can feel the Force calling to me. This is not a victory for the Sith today... the Light Side will prevail."
Ronen Durdon: "Very well. The hangar bay has been set. Please enter."
Xando Caecilius entered the hangar, and stood smiling at the other Jedi. When the force field dropped, he was blown out into space, where he quickly died of suffocation. The entire Jedi council felt a tremor in the Force. Ronen Durdon fell to his knees.
Ronen Durdon: "What.... have we done??"
Xando's body was brought back into the hangar bay from the tractor beam. As medical droids began examining the body, Ronen sent An-Wan Dyas to assist.
An-Wan Dyas: "He is dead. That much is clear. But I feel something...."
Ronen Durdon: "You don't need to tell me. I have felt it already. Xando Caecilius was so powerful with the Light Side of the Force, that he may have been the Chosen One."
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Cecil XIX was a Jedi Knight!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:He was Jedi!
Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Knight Xando Caecilius, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, the other Jedi welcomed him back, and would count his vote even though he was deceased.

Round ends Sunday, November 28th, unless I get all your orders in early. May the Force be with you....
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
Hey fellows and girls, it turns out most of you are indeed able to send in orders on time, almost every single night. There are only ever a few stragglers, so guess what? I have decided it is finally time. Yes, yes yes!
- We are going to switch to a "48-hour day (or-less), 24-hour night (or-more)" rotation.
- What this means is that if we have 80% of the players voting by the 24 hour mark during the day, the game advances to a night phase. The night phase will get the extra time.
- However, if you guys need the full 48 hours during the day, the night phase will only be 24 hours long.
This will make the game slightly harder on the town, and slightly easier for the mafia, because odds are, more townies will forget to send in orders than mafia will. But, active participation from the town can earn them a faster day phase and a longer night phase.
This means that the longest a day/night cycle will last is going to be 72 hours, or three days instead of four.
If you want to make certain you get your orders in on time, what you can do is, whenever you vote during the day, you can send in default orders for that night. Then, if you change your mind, you can switch your orders that night. If you're not online, your default orders will stand and you'll at least be doing something useful. So, there is no reason why you still can't get your orders in on time! :beam: If you have 72 hours to send in an action and you fail to do so, you will perform no action. Your defenses will be the same as the night before.
Many mafia games have a 24 hour day/24 hour night cycle. That's where we are heading, this is the step down from near-constant 48/48, by switching it to an average of 36 hours per half-day. When there's only a small number of you left, we will switch all the way down to 24/24. There will be a similar big announcement when this happens.
- When we drop all the way down to 24/24, night discussion/private communication will become legal, because the thread will be much easier to read with less activity.
For now, it is still going to be no night discussion or private communication, though, as that's what you have voted for in majority.
One last note-
:evil: I know this makes things a little bit harder. If you put out the effort, it won't affect you one bit. If you forget or can't be bothered to send in night actions early to make sure you get them in, that's your choice. I'll even remind you halfway through the day phase to send in default orders. I'm not totally evil, but if you don't take advantage of this, I'm not going to blink when the night phase ends and you haven't done anything, even if it could be game-losing for your team. Plenty of games have been won or lost based on absences or inactivity, and there have been a lot of replacement players. Game will get progressively harder, you'll have to keep up!

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...enance-008.png
Le'ran Iss was in his quarters, practicing the Soresu form with his lightsaber. He felt something terrible was about to happen.... he could sense someone approaching. Their emotions were difficult to read, but he readied himself anyway.
The door to his quarters slid open, and there was a cloaked figure standing in the corridor. Reacting quickly, Le'ran sprang into action, and quickly closed the distance between them. He raised his lightsaber high and prepared to swing it.
Without blinking, the cloaked figure lifted a single hand, and Le'ran stopped dead in his tracks. He felt a great force squeezing his windpipe closed, and he was lifted up into the air. He swung his lightsaber madly, but he could not reach his attacker. His chest began to crack and compress, and all the air was forced out of him. He dropped his lightsaber and clawed at his throat, trying to stop the choking, but there was nothing he could do. The attacker made a motion with a single hand, and Le'ran slammed against the ceiling of his quarters, and then slammed into the floor, shattering bones in the process. His attacker raised both hands, and made a tight gripping movement, and Le'ran's blood began shooting out of his nose and mouth. The attacker swung his arms to the left, and Le'ran slammed into the wall, and then the attacker swung his arms to the right, and Le'ran crashed into the bulkhead. His attacker tighter, and Le'ran was crushed even further, killing him instantly. The attacker made a pushing motion with its hands, and Le'ran was sent hurtling through the transparent aluminum windows and out into space. The deck began to decompress, but the structural integrity force fields immediately switched on to cover the gap, and a metal blast door came down to seal it further. Alarms began sounding, and the cloaked figure dashed off into the darkness.
Shi-la Ra was wandering the halls of the Engineering section, when she sensed that she was being followed. She turned around, and sure enough, a cloaked figure was standing about 50 feet away, blocking the path to the Turbolift.
Shi-la Ra: Halt! In the name of the Jedi Council, I must ask what you're doing in this section.
Unknown: ......
The cloaked figure seemed to be meditating. Shi-la Ra ignited her purple lightsaber and stood in a Makashi stance.
Shi-la Ra: So be it. You leave me little choice. Defend yourself!
Unknown: ......
The cloaked figure reached out with the Force, and let it trickle through its body. The cloaked figure's eyes snapped open and drew a long, metallic lightsaber from its waist. The figure ignited the double-bladed yellow lightsaber.
Springing into action, the cloaked figure dashed towards Shi-la Ra at blinding speed. Within a fraction of a second, the being was upon her, lashing at her furiously with both ends of the staff. Shi-la Ra did not recognize the highly unusual saber form her attacker was using, but it was an advanced form of Juyo, the Ferocity Form.
Within seconds, the greatly outmatched Shi-la Ra had her lightsaber shattered into pieces and knocked out of her hands. She was kicked in the face, sending her slamming to the deck plating with a bloody lip. Thinking quickly, she unleashed a blinding flash of light, attempting to stun her attacker. She got up and tried to run past the cloaked figure toward the Turbolift.
Her attacker covered its eyes for a moment, and then continued. After watching the young Jedi dash by, it performed a forward somersault, and cut down the fleeing Shi-la Ra in the blink of an eye. Her wounds were easily fatal, and she died quickly.
The cloaked attacker checked the body, and then switched off its lightsaber, then took the Turbolift off of the deck.

Sio Eroseeth was patrolling the halls near the command center of the ship, when a cloaked figure came from out of nowhere, lightsaber already ignited, swinging for Eroseeth's head.
It was all Sio could do to roll out of the way. The attacker with the purple lightsaber continued advancing, swinging its saber in the Soresu form, with quick cutting motions. Sio jumped to avoid a low swing, and backed out of the way to avoid being impaled by another thrust. Another swing aimed for his head, and Sio ducked, and then did a backflip to get out of danger.
With not a moment to spare, Sio ignited his lightsaber and blocked another blow that would have been fatal.
Lifting the saber high above his head, Sio Eroseeth deflected yet another blow, and he stood in a Djem So stance, and began to repel the short cutting motions of his Soresu-using attacker.
Sio was pushed backward by the advancing attacker, unable to hold his ground against this master of the blade. As he gave ground, he moved closer and closer to the command section of the ship, which was guarded by timed security force fields.
The two titans continued to clash blades, and Sio was unable to counter the attacks. Just as it looked like the end for Sio, the security force fields dropped, separating the two fighters.
Sio dropped to his knees and began to meditate. His attacker did the same.
Several long moments passed, and the security force field dropped, and both combatants sprang into action once again. With renewed vigor, Sio Eroseeth pushed back against the advancing cloaked being, but the contest was not looking good. Whenever Sio dropped his guard, his attacker landed a fist, or delivered a sharp kick. He was being beaten. With all his concentration, he ducked and dodged everything that his attacker threw at him, but his strength was weakening.
Then, his attacker shattered his lightsaber into pieces, and swung low, preparing to cut Sio's limbs from his body.
Sio hopped over the low swing, ducked another one, and rolled backwards, just as the security force fields came down again.
Getting to his feet, Sio dashed for the turbolift behind him, while his frustrated attacker stood behind the force field, disappointed that his target managed to escape.
Later, just a few decks away, Driz Foun was sitting in the middle of the junction of two corridors, meditating, and keeping his senses on what was happening in the hallways in all directions.
The turbolift at the end of the aft corridor came to a halt, and a cloaked figure stepped off of it. Driz continued to meditate, but sensed the figure approaching. Although he looked at peace, Driz Foun was preparing for battle.
Before the approaching figure could get too close, Driz Foun pounced into action, performing a backward leap, flipping towards the approaching being, and landed just several feet away. Driz Foun unleashed a charged torrent of protons, firing the beam directly at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure raised its left hand, and deflected the beam of protons. Then, the figure raised its right hand, and unleashed a charged torrent of electrons at Driz Foun. The force lightning impacted Driz Foun directly in the chest, and sent him flying halfway down the corridor.
The shaken Driz Foun rolled to his feet, and ignited his yellow lightsaber.
The cloaked being continued firing force lightning at Driz Foun, who began dodging the deadly beam of particles, twirling and flipping through the air, jumping from one side of the corridor to the other, flipping off of the walls, with the yellow saber leaving a brilliant yellow arc as it spun around. When they got close, Driz landed squarely in the middle of the corridor, with his saber angled in front of him in the Soresu stance.
The cloaked being locked onto Foun, and fired another volley of lightning at the creature. The stream of particles went directly for Driz Foun's shining yellow saber, which collected the energy like a lightning rod. The force of the blast was almost more than Foun could bear, but he pressed forward, holding back the blast with all his might.
Ever so slowly, Driz Foun began to advance on his attacker, pushing back the lightning, which had started to weaken. Only a few feet away, Driz prepared to deliver a spinning strike which would finish off his attacker. Closer..... closer.....
Driz Foun: YAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Foun leaped into the air, twisting around like a cyclone, with his yellow saber at just the right height to decapitate his attacker. But he landed on the deck, and his attacker was nowhere to be found.
Turning around, Foun saw that his attacker was fleeing down the hallway behind him. Somehow, Foun had been tricked. But he was thankful to be alive. He switched off his lightsaber and watched his attacker flee.

Sinadd No stood in the command section of the ship, in one of the observation rooms near the main turbolift. Her eyes were closed, and she was meditating calmly.
From seemingly out of nowhere, a cloaked figure appeared. Sensing danger, Sinadd turned around, and raised her hands just in time to raise a powerful protective shield with the Force.
The cloaked figure had a hand raised, and a powerful torrent of Force Lightning began to flow, and hit the protective force shield that Sinadd No had erected. As the shield was starting to weaken, she performed a forward leaping somersault, landing closer to the dark figure standing in the corridor. She raised both hands and continued holding the shield, reaching deeper into the Force, and further strengthening this shield.
The shield held, and the cloaked figure raised its other hand and continued firing. The lightning began to chain, and spit off in several different directions, ricocheting off the walls, and the upper and lower deck plating. The lightning hit Sinadd No's shield at many different angles, but nothing was able to penetrate fully. The shields began to buckle, and Sinadd No did another forward leap towards her attacker, getting closer and closer.
The attacker backed off into the corridor and retreated about fifty feet, onto the platform overlooking the main turbolift shaft. It continued firing the lightning chain as it retreated, and Sinadd No continued moving forward, and gave it everything she had to reinforce her protective shielding.
Roaring with frustration, the cloaked figure redoubled its attack, holding its arms outstretched, and leaned forward, in an overpowering pose. The figure screamed with rage, and pushed further, unleashing a massive STORM of the Force. The chain lightning transformed into a glowing sphere of energy surrounding the cloaked figure, arcing out in all directions at once.
The energy overloaded all the power relays on the command deck, and blew out the computer terminals. The heat and energy of the blast began to melt the duranium guard rails, and warp the deck plating itself. Sinadd's shields continued to buckle, and she couldn't hold it much longer. She pushed forward, trying to get within lightsaber range of the dark figure.
The cloaked figure slammed its hands together, and suddenly the omnidirectional lightning storm attack focused together at a single point, unleashing an overpowering blast of lightning which shattered Sinadd No's protective shield.
She quickly unleashed her double-bladed lightsaber, and did a forward flip toward her attacker, trying to cut the powerful being down with the last of her strength.
The dark figure roared with power, and fired the storm of lightning directly at Sinadd No. She landed directly in front of the cloaked being in an advanced Juyo stance, and prepared to swing the blade horizontally to cut the creature in half. The blast of lightning hit Sinadd's lightsaber directly between the blades, blasting the hilt to smithereens and blowing the saber apart. The part of the blade that Sinadd was swinging at the cloaked being became inoperative, and the bulk of the lightning storm hit Sinadd No directly in the chest.
Dark figure: "POWER!!! UNLIMITED.... POWER!!!!!
The cloaked being yelled victoriously, and with renewed power, it continued firing the storm of lightning in all directions, causing gas lines to explode and the turbolifts to cease functioning. Some of the deck plating was hit with a particularly powerful blast of lightning, and the metal structure blew apart, causing the deck below Sinadd No to give way. She plummeted 50 decks, and died upon impact.
The dark creature continued destroying the deck around it, continuing to unleash the hellish storm of lightning. Another powerful blast of lightning struck one of the turbolift cars, and it blew completely off of the lift mechanism and plummeted to the bottom of the shaft. Inside it was Jedi Knight Pal Winoff, whose unlucky life was cut short seemingly by the Will of the Force.
The dark figure looked down the shaft with its burning, amber eyes. The grinning figure walked back into the shadows from whence it came.

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Master Sinadd No, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though she was not exactly as she once was, the other Jedi welcomed her back, and would count her vote even though she was deceased.

Ronen Durdon- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon greeted the Jedi Council in the morning and began to play back the security hologram recordings for all to see.
"As you can see, the number of attacks every night do not seem to be decreasing. I thought after the death of that Sith Apprentice we would have fewer attempted murders to deal with, but I was mistaken. Furthermore, I can feel that the Dark Side is getting stronger. I fear much of the progress we have made is slipping away from us.
Some of us managed to survive the attacks. I am relieved to see Driz Foun and Sio Eroseeth are still with us. However, in addition to our fallen heroes Le'ran Iss, Shi-la Ra, and Sinadd No, it seems one of our Knights was killed accidentally while patrolling the upper decks. Pal Winoff and the others will not be forgotten, and we will do them a great service by bringing these murderers to justice."
Sinadd No appeared before the council, in the form of glowing energy, along with Jacin Sky and Xando Caecilius.
Sinadd No: "Now is not the time to mourn our losses. We do not have the time to spare. You must remain focused, and bring down the Sith however you can."
Xando Caecilius: "You must feel the force flow through you, and use it to break through the fog of the Dark Side."
Jacin Sky: "Remember your training, and search your feelings. We will be watching."
Grandmaster Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

- Excellent activity today guys! Keep it up! Wow!
Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Sky Yi'do."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend herself." Ronen said.
Sky Yi'do: "Huh? What? Are you guys still accusing me? What did I do?"
Ronen Durdon: "You have been accused of murdering.....
Sky Yi'do: "I know that much, I'm not totally lost here. But WHY are you accusing me?"
Voice in the crowd: "You haven't been very talkative!"
Sky Yi'do: "And that means I'm Sith?"
Ronen Durdon: "Possibly, you're lurking to avoid suspicion."
Sky Yi'do: "Oh get real. Why would I keep doing it then? You're making a huge mistake here!"
Ronen Durdon: "Do you have anything else to say in your defense?"
Sky Yi'do: "Yeah, maybe one thing. I'M INNOCENT!!! You're making a big mistake!! You're making a big mistake!!! Get your hands off of me, you're not throwing me in that airlock. Get away from me!"
Ronen Durdon: "Hold her down. We'll toss her in there by force."
Sky Yi'do: "You're wasting your time! I'm not going to allow myself to die this way. I'm not a Sith, I'm not a Sith!"
Voice in the crowd: "But you are acting like one!"
Sky Yi'do: "Bollocks and poppycock! I'm doing no such thing! Your senses must need to be attuned! You're making a huge mistake!!!"
With that, Sky Yi'do was dumped unceremoniously into the hangar bay, and the doors were slammed shut. Pouting at first, Sky Yi'do began to center herself, and called upon the Force. The force fields were released and she was blown out into space. Once there, she began spinning around in one direction, then the other. Then she did the "moonwalk" and a few other dance moves. She was clearly indicating that she was still alive.
After watching this display, Ronen Durdon sighed with disappointment and used the tractor beam to pull her back into the hangar bay. She was alive and well. Pressure was restored and she walked back into the ranks of the Jedi Council with a smirk on her face.
Ronen Durdon: "You have defied the judgment of the council!"
Sky Yi'do: "Pardon me, your lordship. You have also survived the "judgment" of this council, so I don't want to hear about it. Maybe if their judgment wasn't so inaccurate, it wouldn't have been necessary."
Ronen Durdon: "So strong-headed, you are. Will you report for guard duty tonight as ordered?"
Sky Yi'do: "Of course I will. What do you think I am, a Sith?"
Suddenly, one of the support beams above the Council meeting gave way, and the several-ton mass of metal slammed into the deck, crushing one of the Jedi. It was Loris Midal, a rather quiet Jedi who hadn't been doing much of anything. Her loss was still deeply felt by the Jedi Council.

Kel Dih-mar was patrolling the destroyed starboard section where the deflector shield generators once were. This place had been destroyed four nights ago by a powerful being. There were still open sections exposed to space, where the entire deck had been ripped apart, with the atmospheric pressure maintained only through the structural integrity fields.
Unknown: "I've been waiting for you, Kel Dih-mar."
Kel turned around, igniting her lightsaber.
Kel Dih-mar: "Who's there? What do you want?"
Unknown: "I want to know why you're standing here in this dark, lifeless deck, looking out into space, instead of standing up for what you know is right."
Kel Dih-mar: "What do you mean?"
Unknown: "You have the potential to be more than just some plodding subordinate, a lackey guarding a pile of useless scrap."
Kel Dih-mar: "Who are you? Identify yourself!"
Unknown: "Perhaps you do not yet realize it... but you could destroy the Sith. I have foreseen it... you can become so much more than what you are. All you need to do is give yourself to the Dark Side...."
Kel Dih-mar: "Is that a fact? Why don't you step into the light so I can see your face... or are you afraid to make yourself known?"
Unknown: "Who I am is not important. If you could be turned... you would be a most powerful ally."
Kel Dih-mar: "No sale, whoever you are. If this is some kind of trick to test my loyalties, you've failed. I am a Jedi, and I always will be. Show yourself, and explain why you're trying this charade? Are you a Sith?"
Unknown: "Am I a Sith? I believe the point of all of this is, are you a Sith?"
Kel Dih-mar: "Answer the question..."
A cloaked figure stepped out of the shadows, and lifted a hand. Kel Dih-mar felt as if the life was being drained from her body, and she reacted quickly, and unleashed a prepared blast of the force, pushing the cloaked figure into a heap of twisted metal.
Kel Dih-mar: "Are you ready to talk, or do you want me to toss you around like a rag doll some more?"
The cloaked figure crawled out of the wreckage, and lifted its hands again. Kel Dih-mar felt the same strange sensation, as if the force was being pulled away... but before it could take effect, Kel Dih-mar interrupted her attacker with a sideways push, sending the cloaked being slamming into one of the busted corridor walls.
The cloaked figure stood up, and tried again, but Kel Dih-mar just threw the cloaked figure into the other side of the corridor, and advanced on the fallen figure with her lightsaber.
Kel Dih-mar: "I think I've been more than patient with you. You're under arrest! Stop right where you are!"
But a strange sensation came over Kel, and she lost her concentration. When she looked up, the cloaked being was already gone.

Kenth Cogma was returning to his quarters, when he noticed that someone else was following him. Reacting quickly, he began to shield his force signature, and he turned a corner and slipped into the shadows.
The cloaked assailant who had been following him lost track of Cogma, and stood at a junction of two walkways, unsure of which way to go. Suddenly, without warning, another being dropped down from an opening in the above deck, and landed between the cloaked assailant and his target. The cloaked figure ignited its lightsaber.
Reacting quickly, the assailant ignited a gold lightsaber as well, and the two powerful beings clashed sabers. The one with the green lightsaber stood in a Djem so stance, and the one with the gold lightsaber stood in a Makashi stance. The two sabers illuminated the dark, unused section of the ship, and the sound of the two sabers crashing into one another was the only sound that could be heard, other than the sound of boots against metal.
The assailant with the gold lightsaber delivered elegant parries and precise thrusts, demonstrating great skill with the Makashi style, the mark of a true fencing expert. The unknown Samaritan pressed the attack, countering all of the aggressive moves from the one with the golden saber, pushing the fencer off-balance and onto his or her back heel.
For a time, it was clear that the one with the green saber held a slight advantage, but the fencer soon regained footing and held the green one to a standstill, and even began to press the attack. After a slight adjustment, the fencer was able to parry the counterattacking motions with ease, and push back the green saber. The Makashi style was very much suited for this kind of combat, able to react with flowing, natural motions and offset powerful strikes with ease.
The one with the green saber retreated a bit, and gave the gold-sabered attacker a wide berth. The assailant did not follow, preferring to recover from the sudden unexpected attack. The one with the green saber centered him/herself. Not willing to let the Samaritan regain concentration, the gold-sabered one pressed the attack, and charged forward.
One of the power regulators from the wall of the corridor detached with a shower of sparks, and came streaking toward the gold-sabered assailant. The cloaked figure sidestepped the large, flying object, and cut it to pieces with a reactive swing. Then the cloaked figure continued to advance.
Still meditating, the green-sabered one reached out with the Force, and sent a pile of metal wreckage flying towards the golden fighter. The twisted metal wreckage couldn't be deflected in time, so the golden fighter reached out with the Force and steeled itself, and the debris merely bounced off of its hardened body. The golden fighter continued advancing.
The green fighter's eyes snapped open and out came the green saber once again, this time with both sides of the hilt ignited.
The two figures clashed sabers again, but this time the green fighter detached one side of the lightsaber, and threw the object into the air behind the golden fighter. The saber ignited in midair, and began spinning around like a boomerang. The saber returned to where the two fighters were battling one another, and the golden fighter rolled backwards, out of the way just in time to avoid being sliced to pieces. When the golden fighter stood, the being made a quick motion to deflect the flying green projectile which had returned.
The green fighter continued advancing down the metal walkway, and more power regulators began snapping off of the walls, causing small fires and explosions. The metal objects hurtled toward the golden fighter, one by one, while the spinning green saber continued harassing the fencer. Every so often, the green fighter would deliver an elegant downward cut, forcing the fencer to block the move, and then roll out of the way of another flying object.
Realizing that it was outmatched, the being with the golden lightsaber turned and ran down the hall. The one with the green lightsaber called back the other, and it landed harmlessly in its hand and it was reattached. The flying objects hovered in midair for a moment, until the cloaked being released them from its mental grip. They crashed to the deck, and the green-saber figure watched the attacker flee. It did not pursue.
Bane Anded was wandering the halls when he turned the corner and saw a cloaked figure standing between him and the turbolift. Unsure if he was seen, Bane jumped back behind the corner, and tried to mask his force signature.
The familiar crackle of Force Lightning alerted Bane that he had indeed been spotted. He began to make his way in the opposite direction, trying to escape.
As he bolted down the corridor, he was struck by the second volley of lightning, and it sent him flying face-first into the deck, howling in pain. The cloaked figure rushed forward, taking advantage of Anded's prone state. It prepared to fire another blast.
Bane rolled to his feet and erected a powerful shield, just as the cloaked figure unleashed a third volley of lightning. The force of the blast knocked Bane back a bit, but the shield held. Frustrated, the cloaked figure pushed as deeply as it could into the Force, and unleashed maximum power against Bane. The brilliant, crackling current was completely absorbed by the Force shield, and Bane was able to maintain the shield effectively. When Bane was able to maintain the shield with one hand, and unleash his lightsaber with the other, the cloaked assailant cursed and simply fled the scene.
Bane grinned as he watched the attacker flee. He was alive.
Gith Ranay was keeping watch over the large hangar bay, near the end of Beta shift, when he sensed danger approaching. The airlock opened up, and a cloaked figure entered the hangar, charging directly at Ranay with an emerald lightsaber ignited.
Ranay broke his meditation, and ignited his green lightsaber, and stood in a classic Makashi stance.
His attacker clashed sabers with him, and the two fighters met each other in the Makashi style. What followed was a series of expertly delivered parries, dodges, thrusts, and graceful swings. The two swordsmen battled each other for some time, neither giving an inch. The attacker reached deeper into the Force, and was able to increase strength and valor in combat. However, the fully centered defender was able to offset this power with natural motions, balanced swings, and leveraged parries. The two fighters could not gain an advantage over one another.
It was almost time for the morning meeting, and the attacker was making no progress at all. It performed a graceful backflip out of danger, and ran as fast as it could toward the airlock. After diving through it, the airlock was closed with the Force, and the attacker escaped.

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon sat alone in the darkened Command Center of the ship, meditating. He was aware that two beings had just stepped off the main turbolift, and were approaching the bridge from the port and starboard access doors. He was also aware of another, lying in the shadows.
As he communed with the Force, he saw into the future. He had a vision of things to come. He strengthened his mind, and prepared for battle.
The doors behind him on the left and the right slid open to reveal a pair of assassins.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/..._cloak_3-1.gif_____________________________________https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/..._a_cloak_3.gif
Ronen Durdon: "Prepared for your arrival, I have. I know why you are here. I can sense the Dark Side has clouded your judgment, if you think you are prepared to face me."
First: "It is clear that you are guilty of crimes aboard this vessel. Since you were able to slip past the judgment of the Council, it's become clear that there is only one way to end your reign of terror."
Ronen Durdon: "Terror, say you? Hmmm.... from where comes this terror? The shroud of the Dark Side has blinded you. See not the truth, do you? Resorting to murder to resolve a murder, yes.... if a reign of terror there is, from you, it comes."
Second: "You're not fooling anyone you know. You might have beaten An-Wan Dyas and that one with the purple saber, but are you strong enough to face us?"
Ronen Durdon: "Strong enough to face death without fear, I am. But strong enough are you, to turn back now, before too late it is?"
First: "SHUT UP!!! I've heard enough of that backwards-talk out of you. Do you think that makes you sound intelligent?"
Second: "You're guilty of murdering Jedi, I know this. The time has come for you to answer to justice."
Ronen Durdon: "To whom do you answer, then? Yourselves? Administer justice blindly, do you... how appropriate. And unfortunate."
A third figure stepped out of the shadows, and ignited a purple lightsaber.
Third: "Stand back, traitors of the Council, or I shall be forced to defend Grandmaster Durdon with my life!"
First: "Who is this, Durdon? Your pet dog? Or perhaps, YOUR SITH APPRENTICE!!!"
The first figure raised a hand and unleashed Force Lightning at the Jedi standing between him and the Grandmaster. The crackling Force Lightning hit the young Jedi squarely in the chest, and sent him flying down into the starboard control pit. After a moment of being stunned, the young Jedi jumped out of the pit and returned fire, unleashing a stream of protons at the first cloaked assassin.
Reacting quickly, the cloaked assassin threw up a shield. The protons harmlessly bounced off of the protective field.
First: "You're going to have to do a **** of a lot better than that, fool."
Second: "You're leaving us little choice, young one. I wouldn't want to have to arrest you both...."
Third: "This isn't an arrest, and it isn't lawful either. You might as well drop the pretense, you're nothing but Sith Lords!"
First: "I grow weary of waiting for you to move out of the way. I was saving this for Durdon over there, but if you insist on interfering on our affairs..."
The first cloaked assassin began summoning more energy, and fired Force Lightning again at the interloper. This time, the being was ready, and held its purple lightsaber at just the right angle, in the Soresu stance. The lightning went directly toward the beam, like a lightning rod. What little remained of the stray energy scattered in other directions.
Ronen Durdon: "Good, young Kidou. Use the Force.... stretch out with your feelings."
Third: "Yes, master, I will try."
The interloper returned fire with another beam of charged protons, but the reflective shielding surrounding the first assailant held firmly. However, the act of erecting such a barrier while also firing force lightning caused both to weaken, and allow Wen Kidou to advance while turning back the Force Lightning. Frustrated, the First assailant stopped firing Force Lightning, and began summoning a massive orb of dark energy.
Ronen Durdon: "Feel what dangers lie ahead. You must not give in to your fear, you must control it. Focus instead on turning back these attacks."
First: "Shut up, Durdon! Let this one fight his own battles!"
Third: "I sense pain.... I feel death!"
Ronen Durdon: "It is your future, you see. Do not let it distract you, young master Kidou. Remain in the moment, or lose yourself in it, you will."
First: "Yeah, remain focused so you can face your death with open eyes, Sith!"
The first assassin unleashed the glowing orb of dark energy, and fired it directly at Wen Kidou. Reacting quickly, Wen took his purple lightsaber and swung it as hard as he could at just the right angle, at the center of the orb, reversing its direction and sending it straight back at the first assassin.
The glowing orb of dark energy picked up speed, and the first assassin took out its lightsaber and reflected it straight back at Wen. Wen similarly returned the volley, and the assassin reflected it back. Wen delivered a spinning cut, sending the orb back at its master in a strange arc, making it unreturnable. The dark energy ball slammed into the first assassin's protective shielding, weakening it slightly.
The assassin fired another glowing dark orb of energy, and Wen reflected it back. This time, the assassin didn't bother to deflect it, simply charged up another volley, and another, and began firing them rapidly at Wen Kidou, who delivered them all back to their origin with masterful skill. The protective shielding began to buckle, as the assassin wasn't even bothering to maintain it.
As he began charging up a much larger blast of dark energy, Wen prepared himself, and also began charging up. Kidou jumped out of the way of the huge blast of dark energy, rolled to his feet, and unleashed another beam of brilliant protons at the assassin's weakened shield. This time, the shield collapsed, and the first assassin was hit with the full power of a stunning burst of particles, which ripped through his body. The cloaked being slammed into the wall and knocked unconscious.
Ronen Durdon: "Good.... Good young Kidou. You have proven yourself to be worthy. Were I able to, I would bestow upon you the rank of Master. But I must ask you to leave this place, while you still can."
Third: "What are you saying, Master? We can easily handle the other one, together!"
Ronen Durdon: "Strong enough to face this one, you are not. You must go."
Third: "I'm not leaving without you, Master. I feel that my destiny lies with you."
Second: "Are you quite through playing games, gentlemen? Need I remind you that you're both under arrest? You will disarm yourselves and come with me...."
The second assassin ignited both lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Form VI- Niman stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/sT34sc33q0A?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/sT34sc33q0A?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
Second: "....Or I will take you into custody by force."
Ronen Durdon: "Kidou, leave NOW! That is an order!"
Wen Kidou: "No, you need help. I won't let this Sith destroy you, Master!"
Second: "So be it. You leave me little choice, your grace...."
Ronen Durdon: "As do you, my old padawan."
The grandmaster ignited his blue lightsaber.
Standing in the usual Form III- Soresu stance, Grandmaster Ronen Durdon prepared for battle against the assassin.
Wen Kidou charged toward the assassin, and leaped over the being, landing on the starboard side of the chamber, blocking the exit to the main turbolift. Now the second assassin was surrounded on two sides. Without flinching, the being with two sabers reached deep into the Force, and doubled its strength and valor, and swiftly moved toward Grandmaster Durdon, with Wen Kidou in hot pursuit.
The saber masters clashed with each other ferociously, in a blur of brilliant blue. It was all Wen could do to keep up with the other two, as the second assassin wisely circled Durdon, keeping Kidou away from its back.
The balanced Niman form allowed the second assassin to easily deflect attacks from Kidou's saber, while focusing almost exclusively on Durdon. Durdon fought mightily, pushing back the assassin, attempting to force the being away from Kidou.
Reaching deep into the Force, Durdon attempted to weaken the assassin with a massive blast of speed and strength. The assassin, backed into a corner, did a flying springboard leap off of the wall behind it, and dove headlong over the heads of the other two, moving back to the center of the chamber.
Wen Kidou attempted to stun the assassin with another beam of protons, but the second assassin erected a similar force shield to the one erected by the other assassin.
The protons bounced harmlessly off of it, and the assassin ran to the port side of the room, over to where the first assassin had fallen, putting Wen Kidou between him/herself and the Grandmaster.
Ronen Durdon: "Stand aside, young Kidou!"
Wen Kidou: "I won't let you harm him."
The second assassin clashed sabers with Wen, who fought valiantly in the Soresu style, like his master. But the two blades were too much for Wen to keep up with, even with mastery of the art of movement. After blocking one blow, he was forced to hold his saber still to prevent the other blade from cutting off his head. The second assassin easily shattered Wen's blade, cutting off his hand in the process. Wen attempted to roll out of the way, but he only ended up getting between the second assassin and Grandmaster Ronen Durdon once again. Saber met flesh, and the blow that was meant for Durdon ended up penetrating Wen Kidou in the chest, and he fell to the ground, mortally wounded.
Ronen Durdon: "Now you have come to punish me for that which you've done yourself. Back down."
Second: "If you had surrendered, none of this would have happened. Worst of all, you knew this was going to happen. You are the one who must back down!"
Ronen Durdon: "Hear you nothing that I say? Very well. The hard lesson, I must teach you."
Glowing with Light, Grandmaster Ronen Durdon tapped deeply into his training, and allowed the Force to flow fully through him. With a sudden burst of strength and precision, and precognition of his opponent's movements, Ronen Durdon sliced completely through the assailant's second lightsaber hilt, rendering it inoperable.
Switching to the Makashi style, the assailant attempted to break through the Grandmaster's defenses once more, but the Grandmaster anticipated every move. Even a second wind and a burst of strength and valor from the assassin did no good. Ronen Durdon had become one with the force.
The light emanating from Durdon was almost more than the assassin could bear, but the assassin closed its eyes and continued to fight, feeling the force and allowing it to guide his/her movements. Nothing could have prepared this assassin for the mastery of this being, who began screaming with power, leaping into the air and flipping over the assassin, bouncing off of the walls, demonstrating a creative mastery of the Soresu form, keeping the blade pointed at his opponent, while moving his body out of range of his opponent's attacks. The Makashi form was meant for fencing, it was not meant for aerial combat. The assassin kept up, demonstrating an impressive amount of skill, but it was clear that the assassin had more left to learn.
Ronen Durdon: "See through you, I can."
With one more swing, Ronen Durdon utterly disarmed the second assassin, shattering the second blade. The assassin backed off, but seemed to be simply in shock that s/he was beaten. The being didn't even try to run. The first assassin began to stir.
Ronen Durdon: "Wish me to teach you the final lesson?"
Upon hearing these words, the assassin fled. Ronen looked down at the fallen Kidou, and attempted to comfort the young Jedi.
Ronen Durdon: "Death is only an illusion. Become part of the Force, you will. Do not fear."
Wen Kidou closed his eyes, and died.
Ronen Durdon: "If leave now you do not, join Kidou you will."
The first assassin grabbed its lightsaber and ran out of the command center, leaving the Grandmaster alone with the Force.

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon greeted the Jedi Council in the morning and began to play back the security hologram recordings for all to see.
"The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Blinded, twisted, have we become. And yet, in the darkness, still there is light. So many Jedi could have been slain, but many of us have prevailed. We lost the brave Wen Kidou, who gave his life to defend my own.
I will not deny that I feel anger towards those who have hurt us. But those feelings will only serve to confuse us and blind us further, with rage. Honor their memories with hasty action, we will not. Find the Sith hiding among us, we must. Bring them before me. Paid with their lives, enough Jedi have. For the Sith, the time to pay their debts is long overdue.
Seek the Dark One, we must. The Force wants this dark master returned to it."
Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

- Excellent activity today guys! Keep it up! Wow!
Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Malious de Wal."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.
Malious de Wal: "Is this really your judgment? You didn't seem very certain of this, my friends."
Ronen Durdon: "Regardless, that is the choice that has been made. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Malious de Wal: "If you are not convinced of my innocence simply by the fact that there has been no evidence of any wrongdoing, then there is nothing I can say to defend myself any further. Your judgment is simply flawed."
Ronen Durdon: "Are you prepared to receive your judgment?"
Malious de Wal: "Of course. Perhaps my becoming one with the Force will allow you to see your error, and allow you to focus on the more likely suspects."
Ronen Durdon: "Please enter the hangar bay".
Malious de Wal handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and began to meditate in the middle of the hangar, as the airlocks closed and the outer bay doors began to open.
Malious de Wal: "May the Force be with you all."
Ronen Durdon pressed the switch, and the hangar bay decompressed, blowing Malious de Wal out into space. He quickly suffocated, and died.
The tremor felt throughout the Force was impossible to ignore. Once again, the Jedi had put someone to death who was unusually strong with the Light Side of the Force. The Grandmaster dropped to a knee from the sheer weight of what they had done.
Ronen Durdon: "Bring back the body.... put it with the others."
The Jedi began their nightly duties in silence.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Sunday, December 5th, Eastern Time USA (If I get 19 people voting by midnight of the 4th, round will end 24 hours early.)

Bos Dhi Kao was keeping watch over the weapons locker, in the security section near the command center of the ship. Alpha shift was almost over. He was kneeling in front of the locked security door, meditating. He was aware that there were two beings approaching.... one from the main turbolift in the aft section of the corridor, and one from the secondary turbolift in the forward section of the corridor.
The one approaching from the main turbolift would have to pass through the security force-fields. The one approaching from the secondary turbolift had a clear path to Bos Dhi Kao.
As soon as the first being stepped off of the secondary turbolift, Bos Dhi Kao sprang into action. His eyes snapped open and he immediately ignited his pair of green lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Ataru stance. The cloaked assassin stood, meditating.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...lightsaber.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...lightsaber.png
Bos Dhi Kao: "You're not authorized to be on this deck! You will immediately step back onto that turbolift and return to your quarters! If you do not leave immediately I will be forced to engage you!"
First assassin: "You're right about one thing. You will be forced to engage me...."
Without further hesitation, both Bos Dhi Kao and the unknown assailant leaped into the air, and landed just a few feet away from one another. They charged one another and their lightsabers clashed. The assassin was using the Djem So form. The two powerful beings stood toe to toe with one another, both demonstrating incredible skill with the sabers, but Bos Dhi Kao was demonstrating a clear advantage.
The twin saber Ataru form savaged the more subtle Djem So defenses. The style was so aggressive, that there wasn't any clear way for the Perseverance form to get in the counterattacks which so typified Djem So. While the assailant was blocking and countering the incredible onslaught of blows from the twin Ataru blades. The attacks were merciless, fast, and unending. Immediately, the purple-saber assassin was forced backwards, unable to get in a single counterattack. Worse, Bos Dhi Kao began demonstrating a mastery of the art of movement, and with force-assisted leaps, spins, flips, and other movements, Bos Dhi Kao literally fought circles around his opponent.
Reaching deep into the Force, the purple-saber assailant doubled its speed and strength, trying to keep up. The assailant wasn't even close, and the defender reached deeper into the Force as well, and demonstrated incredible valor and strength, while maintaining the forceful, infinite aggression. There wasn't so much as an attempt at defense, all of the saber movements were aimed at breaking down the Djem So defenses.
Roaring with effort, Bos Dhi Kao delivered a combination of strikes designed to wither his opponent. Leaping into the air, twisting around like a cyclone, Bos Dhi Kao unleashed a flurry of spinning strikes towards his opponent. The first four blows were blocked by the purple saber, and the fifth made contact with the saber hilt, shattering it to pieces. The sixth made contact with the assassin's hand, cutting it from its body. Bos Dhi Kao landed squarely in front of the assailant, and completed the spinning movement with a roundhouse kick to the face, sending the assassin flying into the metal sliding door of the turbolift shaft, which broke open.... The turbolift car was no longer there, it had moved several decks downward.
Turning around, Bos Dhi Kao sensed that the second assassin had finally made it through the security force fields, and he charged down towards his opponent, to protect the security room.
Bos Dhi Kao: "You're under arrest! Kneel and surrender, or face the consequences!"
Second assassin: "Don't count on it!"
The second assassin finished meditating and unleashed an emerald lightsaber, and charged forward in the makashi style. Bos Dhi Kao leaped forward and began his spinning combination once again, in the same advanced Ataru stance.
The second assassin easily parried all of the lightning fast blows like a master fencer, utilizing the superior form against the more experimental and overly aggressive Ataru. This particular assassin also understood the art of movement, and was able to counter the increasingly complex aerial gymnastics displayed by Bos Dhi Kao.
Bos Dhi Kao still held a slight advantage, but he was unable to break through the elegant, natural, flowing defenses of the Makashi form. Every solid, overpowering blow was met with little resistance, but a well-leveraged deflection or a parry. The second assassin reached deeper into the force and demonstrated incredible valor in combat, strengthening to the point where all of the blows were easy to resist.
This battle raged on for some time, until it was clear to the second assassin that there was no opening for an attack. They were both tiring, and Bos Dhi Kao was slightly better skilled. After a nearly lethal blow which forced the assailant back, the security force fields came down between the two attackers, and Bos Dhi Kao watched the second attacker escape down the main turbolift shaft.
Sweating, the master swordsman switched off his twin blades, and returned to his meditation.

On-so C'ba was getting ready for Beta shift, when he noticed that the person he was meant to relive of duty wasn't even there. Instead there was a cloaked figure he did not recognize.
On-so C'ba: "What are you doing here?"
Unknown: "........"
Reacting quickly, On-so ignited his emerald lightsaber and began to meditate.
The cloaked figure ignited a lightsaber as well.
The unknown assailant unleashed a force leap, landing in front of On-so, and began advancing on him with the Soresu style. On-so's Makashi style wasn't able to break through the powerful Soresu defense, and so he was forced to give ground. The assailant was obviously well-trained. On-so reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a burst of force valor.
The strength and concentration that On-so was able to demonstrate allowed him to halt the advance, and hold back his attacker. He stood his ground and clashed sabers at close range, neither of them giving an inch.
The two titans fought, and began to wear each other out. Frustrated at not making more headway, the cloaked assailant executed a backwards leap and fled the scene.
On-so switched off his lightsaber. Somehow, he had survived!
Ku-vect Belthon was wandering the twisted corridors in the bowels of the ship, near the destroyed sections. Things were uneventful, until the sound of a lightsaber igniting above her head caused Ku-vect to look up. Reacting quickly, she unleashed her lightsaber and blocked a blow that would have been lethal, as the cloaked assassin dropped down from the metal walkway above her head.
Ku-vect held her yellow lightsaber in the Niman style, utilizing the Moderation Form. The assailant however, began pounding on her relentlessly with the Makashi style, wielding a golden saber.
Without warning, Ku-vect was bathed in light. Out of nowhere, a wall of light was erected, surrounding Ku-vect on all sides. Ku-vect seemed a little startled, but retained her focus.
Growling, the golden saber assassin touched the wall of light with its lightsaber, and found that the saber could pass through the light. In an instant, the attacker continued to press the attack against Ku-vect, who had to defend herself in spite of the defensive field.
Concentrating, Ku-vect unleashed a combination of defense and attack, the perfect balance, and in just the right positions and with just enough leverage to turn back the flowing, elegant Makashi attacks. This modern technique, Niman, was able to penetrate the more traditional Makashi defenses, and after a few minutes of hard struggling, Ku-vect smashed the golden lightsaber to pieces.
The assassin immediately turned and fled the scene before any more damage was done.

Rivan Nul was guarding the corridors near the shuttle bays. The corridor was filled with smoke and debris, from the massive explosions which took place over a week ago. There wasn't much left worth keeping an eye on down here, but it was the perfect place for the Sith to be hiding. At least, that is what the Grandmaster had concluded.
The shift passed uneventfully, but Nul suddenly felt a cold chill when it was time for his shift to end. Sure enough, he felt a presence approaching. He turned around quickly and ignited his lightsaber.
The cloaked figure approached and lifted a hand. Thinking quickly, Rivan Nul attempted to close the distance between them and cut the being down with a single stroke. He allowed a trickle of the Force to flow through his body, and his strength and speed doubled.
He sprang into action, and within a flash, he was already upon the cloaked figure, saber raised in the Soresu stance. Suddenly, he felt as if he were being strangled. The cloaked figure moved backward, while continuing to execute the hold. Rivan Nul was lifted up off of the ground, and he couldn't breathe. He swung his lightsaber fruitlessly, unable to reach his opponent. He dropped the saber and clawed at his throat, and began to lose consciousness. The figure raised another hand, and Rivan Nul had all of the wind knocked out of his body. His chest began to compress by an unseen force, and bones began to snap. The cloaked figure made an even tighter gripping motion with its hands, and began slamming Rivan Nul against one side of the corridor, and back against the other. With burning hatred, the creature gripped tighter still, and Rivan Nul's blood shot out of his nose and his eyes became bloodshot. His body caved in on itself and was crushed smaller and smaller. With one final pushing motion, the creature hurled the body of Rivan Nul straight through one of the airtight duranium bulkheads, killing him instantly.

Driz Foun was returning to his quarters, now that his Beta shift guard rotation was complete. When he was just at the door, he pressed the buttons to open, and found that the passcode had been changed.
Turning around, the Jedi of short stature noticed an imposing figure standing some distance down the hall, wearing a cloak to disguise its features.
Grumbling, the short Jedi ignited one end of his yellow saber and stood in the Soresu form, ready for anything.
The hissing of a door sliding open startled both of them, and a third figure emerged from the quarters just a few doors down from Driz Foun, standing between Foun and the cloaked assailant, igniting a golden lightsaber.
Taung Eeda: "In the name of the Jedi Council, I order you to stand back! I know you've been stalking Foun, and this ends right here, right now!"
Wordlessly, the cloaked figure raised its hands and began summoning dark energy. Without hesitation, Taung Eeda reached deep into the Force and unleashed Force Valor, and began charging at the unarmed cloaked figure. When Eeda was just a few feet away, the being fired a beam of dark energy directly at Eeda, who tried to block the beam with his lightsaber....
The dark energy beam hit Eeda's lightsaber and knocked him to the deck, blowing the lightsaber out of his hands and stunning him for a moment. The beam continued all the way down the corridor, where it impacted Driz Foun's lightsaber, just as he was executing the spinning saber barrier maneuver in the Soresu style, knocking Foun against the wall of the corridor and sending him sprawling to the floor. The two Jedi quickly recovered and grabbed their lightsabers.
Spend, the cloaked creature could not summon another beam of dark energy, but the creature had one more tactic. It waited, as the two Jedi advanced, moving closer... and closer... and closer.....
As the two Jedi raised their lightsabers, the cloaked figure unleashed a powerful Force Scream. The sonic wave hit the strengthened Eeda, whose Valor-protected body was nearly able to withstand the direct blast of sonic energy, but the scream was so powerful and lasted so long, that the wounds sustained from the blast became too great, and Eeda lay dead in the corridor.
Driz Foun, however, was almost immediately blown to pieces by the force of the blast, and was splattered against the walls of the corridor, rendered unrecognizable.
Both Jedi were clearly dead when it was all over.
The cloaked figure escaped.

Grandmaster Ronen Durdon called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.
"As you can see from the security recordings, there were many attacks last night. Some of us are rather lucky to be alive. Bos Dhi Kao, On-so C'ba, and Ku-vect Belthon, I am glad to see you are still with us.
Unfortunately, its clear that Rival Nul did not survive, and Taung Eeda died bravely trying to defend the life of Driz Foun, who also met a tragic end. They will be deeply missed. We must root out their murderers, before it is too late!"
Ronen Durdon ordered the council to begin their discussion, and retreated to study the Jedi Holocron.

Ronen Durdon noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Durdon asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Zan Finnay."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Ronen said.
Zan Finnay: "Well, I've given you every defense I can think of already, my friends. It hasn't made you change your mind."
Ronen Durdon: "Regardless, I would prefer to hear you explain yourself."
Zan Finnay: "Simply put, I'm being accused because I am one of the higher-ranking members of the Jedi Council, and I haven't been attacked (yet). That's entirely true, so a defense isn't really necessary. I've been spending my nights diligently searching for the Sith."
Ronen Durdon: "Have you found any?"
Zan Finnay: "I don't know, yet. We learned from you that our powers may not be strong enough to find the Dark One, and an apprentice died rather recently. I don't have anything conclusive."
Ronen Durdon: "Your fellow Jedi think that you've been rather defensive, bristling at the accusation that you could be Sith."
Zan Finnay: "Forgive me, but I wished to defend myself most vigorously, as we only have so much time remaining and I am not a Sith. This only wastes time, as I'm able to survive this judgment anyway. I had hoped to avoid such an outcome."
Ronen Durdon: "Do you accept the sentence?"
Zan Finnay: "Yes, of course. It's entirely possible that an innocent Jedi was spared from a wrongful judgment today, and if I must endure the vacuum of space, then so be it. Hopefully the Force will provide us clearer answers in the morning, and we can try again to find the real villains behind this."
Zan Finnay handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and calmly entered the hangar bay. He smiled at the remaining Jedi, as if assuring them he would be all right. Ronen Durdon pressed the button and released the force field, and Zan Finnay was blown out into space, where he remained motionless for a while... and then began waving at the Jedi, letting them know he was still alive. He floated back into the hangar bay, and pressure was restored.
When the air had returned to the bay, the other Jedi entered to find Zan Finnay gasping for breath, with the usual wounds sustained from the vacuum of space. He passed out.
Ronen Durdon: "Take him to the medical bay. Tend to his wounds."
The other Jedi complied. Ronen furrowed his brow, and wondered what the Jedi were going to do now. He ordered everyone else to begin their training, and then head off to their quarters or start first watch.

Busy day for me today, so you might end up with extra time tonight, you might not. I will aim for 24 hours and if I can do it, that's that. But I have an interview and I also have a LOT of game-related work to do. I'll inform you later tonight if I think it's going to require an extension or not.

Kel Dih-Mar was heading to the Master's ceremony, when she was approached by a cloaked figure. By now, it was simply assumed that anyone approaching meant harm, so she ignited her green lightsaber and stood in a Djem so stance.
The cloaked assassin stood in a Soresu stance and ignited a lightsaber as well.
Kel Dih-Mar turned and bolted down the hallway, trying to escape. She reached deep into the force and doubled her speed and strength. But her escape route was cut short when someone pulled the blast doors down in the hallway ahead, using the force. Without an escape route, Kel immediately began to kneel and meditate. She could hear the assassin approaching from behind, and she sprang into action. Just as the attacker was about to deal a mortal blow, Kel performed a backwards leap over the head of the assassin, and tried to make a run for it. But this assassin was already a step ahead, and used the force to lower the blast doors on the opposing side. Trapped, Kel turned and faced her attacker.
With incredible speed, she fought like a cornered beast, answering quick Soresu attacks with vicious Djem So counterstrikes. They were evenly matched, but Kel Dih Mar was able to gain the upper hand due to her focus and speed. She forced the assailant backwards. The assassin reached deeper into the Force, and doubled its strength and valor in combat; now the assassin held its ground, and slowly turned the tide of the battle once more. Pressing forward, the attacker deflected all of the Djem So attacks, and approached too close for comfort, so Kel was forced backwards.
Even with all her force-boosted strength and speed, Kel could not break the assassin's defenses, and she was being backed into the blast doors. Ducking a lethal-looking swing, she rolled backwards, got to her feet, and jumped off of the blast doors and over the head of the assailant. With great speed she bolted down the hallway, and threw her lightsaber at the control panel, causing it to short out. The blast doors disengaged and opened slightly, allowing Kel to dive through the opening and make a mad dash to safety. She escaped.
The assassin quietly cursed and switched off the lightsaber.
Ku-vect Belthon was on her way to the Master's ceremony, when she too was approached by a cloaked figure.
The cloaked assassin stood motionless, meditating. Ku-vect seized the initiative and ignited her yellow lightsaber. She readied herself in the Niman stance.
Suddenly, without warning, Ku-vect was bathed in light. Appearing out of nowhere was a brilliant, shimmering wall of light side energy, completely surrounding Ku-vect, acting as a barrier.
The assassin's eyes snapped open and completely ignored the force barrier, diving straight through it and attacking Ku-vect with the golden lightsaber. They both fought in the Niman form, and they both seemed to be fairly adept at using it.
However, Ku-vect was at a disadvantage. The saber was not her focus, and her mind must have been elsewhere. The assassin was more focused, and the attacks were more precise.
Reaching deep into the force, Ku-vect unleashed a scattering field of charged protons, hoping to stun her attacker. The assassin's lightsaber simply repulsed the charged particles.
After a hard struggle, the assassin knocked the yellow lightsaber out of Belthon's hands and impaled her through the chest.
The light surrounding Belthon began to fade, and everything went black. The assassin fled the scene immediately.
Land Jamgii was nearly at the Master's ceremony when he was also approached by a cloaked figure. Reacting quickly, he ignited his lightsaber and stood in the Makashi stance.
The cloaked assassin was busy meditating, and Jamgii thought about simply fleeing the scene, when suddenly the assassin's eyes opened and it charged directly toward Jamgii, saber ignited and held in a Makashi pose.
Jamgii clashed sabers with the assassin, and they fought like the fencing masters of old, in the traditional style. The smooth, flowing, elegant style was a spectacular display; a carefully choreographed dance between combatants. One of the fighters was slightly more focused than the other... and the differences became apparent when Jamgii was pushed further and further back... the assassin still struggled to break through, and it reached deeper into the force, and summoned additional strength and valor.
The added strength and energy allowed the assassin to shatter Jamgii's lightsaber and impale him straight through the chest. Jamgii gasped, but he could not breathe.... the shock to his system made him lose consciousness.
The assassin withdrew the saber and dashed away from the scene.
Brie-ang Gis took the main turbolift to meet with the others in one of the unused cargo bays. He felt the turbolift come to a halt and the doors opened to reveal a cloaked figure, staring directly at Gis. Reacting almost instinctively, Gis reached deep into the Force and unleashed a powerful force push in the direction of the cloaked figure, but the figure just raised a hand, and nothing happened. Brie-ang ignited his purple lightsaber, stood in a Soresu stance, and prepared to cut the assassin down where it stood.
Suddenly, Brie-ang felt as though something powerful had grabbed hold of his throat, and it lifted him up off of the ground. He swung his lightsaber fruitlessly at his assailant, but he could not reach. He dropped his lightsaber and clawed at his throat. The assassin reacted by gripping tighter with a hand motion, and began crushing Brie-ang's chest. Bones began to snap, and all the wind was knocked out of him. Gripping even tighter, the assassin slammed Gis back and forth, from one side of the turbolift to the other, and slammed him against the roof of the turbolift car, and slammed him back against the floor of the turbolift. The assassin gripped very tightly, and blood shot out of Brie-ang's mouth and nose, and his body began to crush and crumple like a sheet of paper into an unrecognizable ball of flesh and bone, killing him instantly. With one final motion, the assassin pushed forward as hard as it could, and the remains of Brie-ang Gis were pushed so hard against the back of the turbolift car that it knocked the car completely off of the lift mechanism, and both the car and Brie-ang's remains plummeted to the bottom of the shaft.
Satisfied, the cloaked figure fled the scene.

After attending the Master's ceremony with the others, Zan Finnay was heading back to his quarters for some rest. As he turned the corner, he was surprised to see three cloaked figures standing in his path.
Zan Finnay: "Is there something I can do for you, Masters?"
First assassin: "You're under arrest, Finnay."
Second assassin: "Give me your weapons or face the consequences."
Third assassin: "Surrender before I am forced to destroy you."
Zan Finnay: "Just let me pass, if you would please."
The three assassins each drew their lightsabers.
Zan Finnay: "I see.... well I must assume you've fallen to the Dark Side. Perhaps you didn't hear, but Jacin Sky, Sinadd No, and Xando Caecilius instructed us to stop attacking each other randomly at night. So either you've turned your back on the Jedi Council, or you were never loyal to it in the first place.... perhaps you're being lead by a Sith!"
Zan Finnay ignited his twin lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Niman stance. He had finished meditating after the Master's ceremony, and was now in the process of preparing his mind for battle. He reached deep into the force and could sense the future. He was now prepared to engage these assassins.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png
The first assassin also ignited a pair of lightsabers, and stood in an advanced Ataru stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...lightsaber.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...lightsaber.png
The second assassin ignited a blue lightsaber, and stood in the Makashi stance, and began drawing electrons from the air.
The third assassin began drawing electrons from the air, preparing to unleash them unto Zan Finnay.
First assassin: "The only Sith here is you, Zan!"
Zan Finnay: "I beg to differ, I am not a Sith."
The second assassin unleashed a torrent of chain lightning at Master Finnay. The third assassin fired lightning at Finnay as well.
The lightning was drawn to Finnay's shimmering blue sabers, easily collecting the deadly charged particles, and drawing them away from his body.
The first assassin charged toward Finnay, ready to strike him down. Flicking a lightsaber into the air, Zan waved his hand and generated a field around his body which canceled out the force lightning. Tossing his other lightsaber into the air, Zan continued the motion towards his attacker, and the field intensified. Zan caught both of his blades.
His attacker felt slow and sluggish, but continued the attack. Joining the struggle, the second assassin jumped into the fray, and also began feeling slow and sluggish. The third assassin began circling the other three, attempting to attack Finnay from the flank.
Demonstrating incredible mastery of the saber, Zan Finnay moved with blinding speed, and within seconds he had shattered one of the assassin's green lightsabers in a shower of sparks, and kicked the assassin in the jaw, sending him flying into the wall of the corridor. Without missing a beat, Finnay spun around and deflected the blue lightsaber easily, and similarly shattered it into pieces, and cut off the assassin's hand, and then kicked the assassin in the chest, sending the cloaked figure flying into the opposing wall. Finnay did a flying backwards somersault, landing in front of the third assassin, who was preparing to unleash another torrent of Force lightning. With a quick move, Finnay deflected the lightning with one saber and sliced off the hand of his attacker with the other. Continuing the motion, Finnay delivered a roundhouse kick to the temple, knocking the attacker completely unconscious and sending its body skidding across the smooth deck, lightsaber clattering out of its other hand.
The first and second assassins had gathered their courage to try a second assault, and the second assassin even drew another blue saber, and held it in the opposite hand. Finnay wasted no time, and vaulted himself between them once again. Within seconds, he had shattered both of the remaining green lightsaber, and kicked the blue lightsaber out of the second assailant's hand, leaving all three of the assassins defenseless, and in some cases, with five fewer digits.
Tossing both lightsabers in the air, Finnay reached deep into the Force, and pushed the unarmed assailants against opposite walls, knocking them both unconscious. The bodies of the assailants crumpled to the deck, and the two lightsabers landed in Finnay's hands. He continued walking down the corridor, and switched both sabers off.
"You attend one little Master's ceremony and all of a sudden everyone starts having delusions of grandeur..." Finnay noted pityingly.
An-Wan Dyas was returning to her quarters after a long night, when she was approached by a cloaked figure.
Reacting on instinct, Dyas summoned valor and speed, sensed the future and strengthened her mind. She knew exactly what to expect. The cloaked figure unleashed a powerful sonic blast, summoning a second one from behind Dyas, attempting to crush Dyas with an overpowering reverberating force scream.
Dyas stood her ground, and concentrated. The blasts hit her body simultaneously, just as she finished shielding her body with her mind. The opposing sound waves canceled each other out. She opened her eyes and looked coldly at her attacker, and began waving her finger back and forth.
An-Wan Dyas: "I don't think so. You want to try one more time?"
The cloaked being had already begun summoning a vast reserve of dark energy, and fired the beam of energy at An-Wan. She didn't even bother igniting her lightsaber, but she raised her hands and tapped into the force.
The dark energy flowed into An-Wan Dyas' hands, vanishing harmlessly into a flash of light.
An-Wan Dyas: "I guess tonight is just not your night, is it?"
Roaring with frustration, the cloaked being fled the scene. An-Wan didn't try to pursue.

Ronen Durdon sat in the command center of the ship, meditating peacefully. He was concentrating on something, someplace else. He seemed disappointed by the results.
He turned his attention elsewhere, searching through the force with his mind.... seeking someone....
Cloaked to the point of invisibility, Durdon felt no need to concentrate on his immediate surroundings. He was quite startled when he heard the sound of mechanical breathing behind him.
Assassin: "I can still see you....."
Maintaining the cloak, Durdon immediately spun around and threw up a powerful shield of protection.
The figure had already finished summoning unfathomable dark power, and raised its hands....
Silence.
Time stood still for a moment.... Ronen Durdon summoned the very deepest connection to the Force, and strengthened his shield to maximum.
Then it happened....
It happened so fast....
The dark energy tore through time and space, undoing the very fabric of existence. All matter, all energy, all life, the force, even space itself, for miles and miles in a single direction, was utterly annihilated.
Ronen Durdon was standing in the path of the blast. The force shield offered no resistance whatsoever. In the blink of an eye, he was obliterated from existence.
There was nothing left.... no matter, no energy.... no force ghost. Ronen was simply gone.... condemned to Oblivion.
The massive hole in the ship's hull led directly into space. For several moments, the deck remained compressed, as if there was a breakdown of normal temporal mechanics. The dark figure calmly exited through the turbolift, just as the atmosphere blew out into space. Several moments later, the ship's structural integrity fields switched on, as the ship drifted away from the wound in the force.
Power relays blew out all across the ship. The structure of the vessel shuddered, and consoles exploded. Half of the command center deck and most of the bridge section was exposed to open space. The shielding in that section was barely functional, and life support systems failed across half of the upper decks.

Grandmaster An-Wan Dyas called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.
An-Wan Dyas: "It seems that during the night, our Grandmaster was slain. I investigated Ronen Durdon's quarters and found his final log entry."
Dyas pressed the button on the holographic recording device, and an image of Ronen Durdon appeared.
Ronen Durdon: "In the event of my death, I wish for our highest ranked Master lead the Jedi Order: Master An-Wan Dyas. If it should come to pass that she cannot perform this duty, then the honor will be passed down to..."
Dyas pressed the button again and ended the playback.
An-Wan Dyas: "It is with a heavy heart that I accept the responsibility passed down to me. We have much work to do. Last night was a disaster... we lost Grandmaster Durdon and Knights Brie-ang Gis, Ku-vect Belthon, and Land Jamgii.
The good news is that Kel Dih-mar survived an attack by some assassin, and Zan Finnay survived an assault by an unprecedented three attackers. Well done, Master Finnay! And everyone else who survived the night who has not attained the rank of Master, has now been granted that rank. Congratulations, you've all completed your journey and become masters of the force. Nomi Sunrider would have been proud of you, her students. I will do my best to follow in her footsteps and teach you more about the Force, as she has instructed.
I will be looking over the Jedi Holocron and I will see if I cannot find some clue as to how we should proceed. In the meantime, we must honor the memories of all the fallen Jedi, so today I am asking you to bring me a Sith. We will deal with them as our Grandmasters have instructed us to.
Begin the discussion. May the Force be with us all."

An-Wan Dyas noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Dyas asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Zan Finnay, once again. We're certain this one is a Sith, he must be destroyed!"
"Very well. What do you have to say for yourself, Zan Finnay?"
Zan Finnay: "Well, as I said yesterday, I've already given you my defense. You just didn't want to listen. It's not my fault you can't catch a cold."
An-Wan Dyas: "Regardless, I would like to hear your final thoughts."
Zan Finnay: "I've been working tirelessly to find the Sith since I was first brought aboard by Nomi Sunrider. She should know that it is impossible for me to be the Sith you're looking for, since I was on the other side of Coruscant at the time of the murders of Vrook and Vandar, attending to some other business. Unfortunately, Grandmaster Sunrider has passed on and cannot vouch for me, as I know she would."
Suddenly, from the Netherworld of the Force, the image of Jacin Sky appeared, followed quickly by Xando and Sinadd.
Jacin Sky: "Do not presume to speak for Nomi Sunrider."
Sinadd No: "I believe you are guilty, Finnay. Though you have protested the charges and plead your innocence to me, my faith has not been shaken. I know that it is you."
Xando Caecilius: "I too am convinced. Our judgment is final. You are to be cast into space, where you will rejoin the Force. If we are incorrect, then we will know then."
Zan Finnay: "Et tu, Masters? I am starting to find your presence far less comforting. If the bumbling and incompetent are killed off and continue to blunder around blindly even in death, then there's no hope for us at all, is there?"
An-Wan Dyas' eyebrow raised sharply.
An-Wan Dyas: "Master Finnay, show some respect for the dead, for you are about to join them."
Zan Finnay: "Wrong again, Dyas. I have Force Breath, and I will not be destroyed in this fashion. You may try, but it will fail."
Bane Anded: "He's bluffing! No one else can survive out in space like that again, after the first time. How could you have healed so quickly? He must be a Sith!"
Zan Finnay: "Master Anded, you know I respect your opinion ever so much, but you're going to be disappointed once again. Very well, I shall prove it to you."
Zan Finnay handed over his lightsaber and Jedi robes, and calmly entered the hangar bay. He smiled at the remaining Jedi, as if assuring them he would be all right. An-Wan Dyas pressed the button and released the force field, and Zan Finnay was blown out into space, where he remained motionless for a while... and then began waving at the Jedi, letting them know he was still alive. He floated back into the hangar bay, and pressure was restored.
When the air had returned to the bay, the other Jedi entered to find Zan Finnay standing before them, smiling.
Zan Finnay: "See? I told you I would be all right. Force Breath, you know."
Jacin Sky: "Why does he look like it didn't even hurt him?"
An-Wan Dyas: "Master Finnay, can you explain how yesterday, when we cast you out into space, you came back near death, and today, you seem almost cheerful? Was it all an act?"
Zan Finnay: "No, I can't explain it. Perhaps I am the chosen one, the Force wants me to live, you see. I can't die this way. But I am ever happy to demonstrate it again, and again, if necessary. Go ahead and throw me out into space again, I don't care. Whatever it takes to prove to you all that I am indeed a Jedi!"
An-Wan Dyas: "I do not believe you, Finnay. There is something wrong here..."

An-Wan Dyas and the other Jedi would not let Zan Finnay pass. An-Wan in particular insisted on following procedure. Zan Finnay began to vehemently protest.
Zan Finnay: "With all due respect, Grandmaster, you haven't been able to find any Sith through this intuition-based system of executions. You'll forgive me if I don't just simply lay down and take it."
An-Wan Dyas: "Master Finnay, for refusing to accept sentence, I am afraid I am going to have to do this horrible deed myself."
Zan Finnay: "Now that doesn't sound like something a Jedi would say. Where's your commitment to non-violence, Dyas? Or did you forget that commitment when you finally achieved real power?"
An-Wan Dyas: "What are you talking about, Finnay?"
Zan Finnay: "All who gain power are afraid to lose it, even the Jedi. The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side. It is probably what motivates your behavior now, as I can see you're acting out of paranoia, and not a commitment to justice, or you'd throw yourself out an airlock. Don't you remember, Dyas? This council wished to see you dead as well, and here you are, standing before us, ordering us around as if you were innocent. YOU WERE FOUND GUILTY!"
An-Wan Dyas: "We will settle this matter here and now. Your sword, Finnay."
Zan Finnay: "I'd be delighted to show them to you, Dyas."
Zan ignited both of his blue lightsabers.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png
An-Wan responded by igniting her blade as well. Finnay stood in a Form VI- Niman stance. The other Jedi stood back, witnessing what was about to unfold at a safe distance. Finnay and Dyas clashed sabers, each demonstrating an extreme proficiency with their respective forms.
Zan stood his ground, easily deflecting all of An-Wan's attacks. Dyas reached deep into the force for a burst of speed and strength, and unleashed a dizzying combination of aerial and ground attacks, never before demonstrated by the Jedi Grandmaster. It was clear that An-Wan was giving it her all. Finnay didn't budge, and at the end of it all, he shattered her lightsaber and delivered a sharp blow to the center of her chest with his palm, sending her flying across the hangar deck. He had easily defeated the Jedi Grandmaster.... and it appeared as though he was still holding back.
Zan Finnay: "It seems you still have to brush up on your saber skills, your grace. Will you allow us to leave and go about our business now?"
An-Wan Dyas: "No.... you're under arrest, Finnay. You've defied the will of the Council over and over again. We cannot allow you to leave."
Zan Finnay: "Exactly how are you going to stop me?"
The Jedi Council gasped at this statement.
Zan Finnay: "My powers are far too important to our mission. I cannot allow you to foolishly destroy your best and brightest Jedi, over some vague intution. No, I am going to go perform my duties as usual. It would be unwise of you to try and stop me."
An-Wan Dyas: "You aren't to leave this hangar bay, and that is an ORDER Finnay!"
Zan Finnay: "I'm through taking orders from you, or anyone else. It's clear to me that we need new leadership. I'd call for a vote of no confidence in the leadership of An-Wan Dyas, but looking around I can see that I don't have as many supporters as I would like. So, I'm afraid I'm going to have to assume leadership of the Council by force. I've already defeated you in combat, and I could kill you at any time."
Finnay turned to address the Council.
Zan Finnay: "Now, you will all submit to me and respect my judgment. I am Grandmaster Zan Finnay, the new leader of the Jedi Order. You will either obey my commands, or you will be destroyed. My first order of business, is to stop these silly executions. From now on, the only killing that will be done will be under MY direct orders. I will bring order, justice, and security to this vessel, and all who inhabit it, for however long or short a journey that will be."
An-Wan Dyas: "You... have no right! We will not obey your commands, Finnay!"
Zan Finnay: "You would dare question my judgment, Dyas? It isn't bad enough you've been tossed out of the leadership in disgrace, due to your lack of vision and pathetic saber skills? Do you really want to force me to destroy you as well? Then so be it, Dyas. You will die, just like all the others."
Voice from the crowd: "We won't let you harm her!"
Another voice: "Stand down, Finnay! You're not the Grandmaster!"
Voice in the crowd: "You have no right to tell us what to do, we won't listen to you!"
Zan Finnay: "Is that how the rest of you feel?"
Even Finnay's supporters seemed to change their opinion. By now, the entire Jedi Council was united in opposition to Finnay.
Zan Finnay: "Foolish Jedi.... even now, you do not understand that your fate has been sealed. I have been walking among you for decades.... centuries, in fact. You can't tell a Sith Lord from a systems analyst. You're far too trusting.... far too naive... far too willing to sacrifice yourselves, even when the outcome is inevitable. You had every chance to back away, to leave and forget about your silly attachment to duty and honor, to spare your lives. But no, you insist on destroying yourselves. You need leadership... ruthless leadership based on common sense. How inefficient was your search for the Sith? How many died needlessly, when you could have simply locked everyone in their rooms. You value the rights of the suspected criminal more than your own lives, and the hypocrisy was never more evident than when you executed them without evidence, over and over again, based on your feeble reasoning skills and ridiculously inaccurate "senses". You need me, more than you realize.
Oh, I could destroy you all with a single thought, but I can do better. Why don't you become my apprentices, submit to me, and allow me to show you the hidden secrets of the Dark Side? You don't have to follow the idiotic path of the self-destructive Jedi. Their time is over!
You can save yourself from death. Join me, and we can bring about the fall of the Order, and bring about the rise of the New Sith Empire!"
An-Wan Dyas: "You.... you're the Dark One that Nomi told us about!"
Zan Finnay: "Nomi Sunrider, Nomi Sunrider, will you finally shut up about that useless waste of flesh? Even in death her stupid plan of action has led to the destruction of most of the life forms on this ship. You really don't understand what a blundering idiot she was, just like all the others who came before her, and especially the three that came after her. Well no more of that. You should be thankful I'm here, to save you from yourselves. Now, An-Wan Dyas, I think I will put an end to your miserable existence now, because frankly, you disgust me."
Zan Finnay heard the sound of at least a couple dozen lightsabers igniting, all around him. He began grinning, and dropped out of his Force Trance. He looked nothing like his Jedi avatar, and his loud, mechanical breathing echoed throughout the hangar bay.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Darth Kojiro: "Typical Jedi.... blinded by arrogance. Now you will experience THE FULL POWER OF THE DARK SIDE!!!"
The powerful cloaked being unleashed a massive Force Storm, filling the hangar bay with the most destructive levels of Force Lightning ever. A dozen Jedi Masters were instantly blown against the walls of the hangar bay and knocked unconscious. Those who held lightsabers in front of them properly still took direct hits, and many fell to their knees in agony.
Darth Kojiro: "I have waited a long, long time for this."
A Maelstrom of Dark Energy enveloped the entire ship, draining the life and the Force out of every being inside it's vortex.
Darth Kojiro: "PATHETIC JEDI! YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, FOR I AM THE MASTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, THE BEGINNING AND THE END, THE ONE WHO WILL RULE THE GALAXY FOR ALL TIME!!! I AM IMMORTAL!!! I AM INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!
I.....
AM.....
YOUR.....
GOD!!!"
Out of nowhere, a wall of light appeared, surrounding the Dark Lord, and cutting off his connection to the Force. The maelstrom vanished. The Jedi lay wounded and in pain or unconscious. Only a few of the Masters were even stirring. But the sudden interruption caused a howl of rage to erupt from Kojiro, causing the wall to vanish.
Several of the Jedi Masters quickly got to their feet, and engaged their lightsabers. They charged toward Darth Kojiro, who lifted them all in the air with a single wave of the hand, and began to strangle them all simultaneously, shaking the entire hangar bay with his deafening laughter.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...telligence.jpg
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/hOvgR_mWGco?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/hOvgR_mWGco?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="25"></object>
The inner hangar bay doors slid open, revealing a cloaked figure, who walked inside the hangar bay. Darth Kojiro didn't even notice the arrival of the newcomer, and continued strangling the helpless Jedi with Force Choke.
A flash of light surrounded the Sith Lord, and suddenly, the Jedi Masters dropped to the floor and began to breathe. Enraged, Kojiro looked toward the one who had entered the bay, and without hesitation, began firing Force Lightning at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure responded by raising a hand, and absorbing all of the dark energy.
Darth Kojiro: "YOU.... you have been hiding from me! You were a fool to show your face again. Now I will put an end to your existence...."
Kojiro prepared to destroy the cloaked figure with a powerful, concentrated blast of sonic energy. He lifted his hands and fired at the cloaked figure, blowing apart the duranium deck plating, reinforced blast-resistant bulkheads, and ripping a huge hole from one side of the ship to the other. The cloaked figure held a bubble of the Force around its body, protecting it from the blast. The other Jedi were thrown hard against the far side of the hangar bay due to the power of the attack. Fortunately they were all still alive.
Darth Kojiro's eyes began to burn brightly, and he raised his hands, and they began to crackle with dark energy.... summoning power so deep from within the Force, it could tear the ship apart.... and annihilate both matter and energy, space and time, and create a wound in the force. The cloaked figure waved a hand, and suddenly the Force was cut off from Darth Kojiro. The dark energy vanished.
The cloaked figure removed her hood, and revealed her face.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...omi_Jedi-1.png
Nomi Sunrider- Former Grandmaster of the Jedi Order
Nomi Sunrider: "You can't win, Darth. You should never have allowed the Sith Holocron to fall into the hands of the Jedi Council. The weakness of the Dark Side is revealed, and the Dark Side will be your undoing."
Darth Kojiro: "You are bluffing, Sunrider. Only the Sith can truly master the Dark Side. You will be destroyed."
Nomi unleashed a massive blast of Force Lightning, which blew Darth Kojiro's blue sabers out of his hands, and threw him hard against the structural integrity force field. The Sith quickly rolled to his feet. He summoned dark energy, and fired an overpowering blast of it at Nomi Sunrider.
Nomi raised her hands, and all the Dark Energy flowed into a concentrated sphere of energy in front of her body. Darth Kojiro released as much energy as he had ever released, and it was all forced into the brilliant ball of light by Sunrider.
Nomi released the glowing orb of Light back at the Dark Lord, who could only deflect it partially. He was slammed into the structural integrity field again. And he began to growl with contempt. He reached up, and Nomi began to feel as if she were being choked.... she was lifted up off of the ground, and began to feel dizzy.... Reacting quickly, she generated a field of energy around the Sith Lord, and that stopped the attack. She dropped back to the deck plating. The Sith Lord was still cackling at her, as if he had been toying with her the entire time. Nomi reached up with her hands and began to concentrate. Darth Kojiro felt his airway close, and he was lifted up into the air as he started choking. He felt immense pressure on his chest, and began to feel dizzy himself. His mechanical breathing device exploded in a shower of sparks, and he began to claw at his throat. Nomi applied more pressure, and slammed the Dark Lord into the side of the hangar bay, and swung his body over to the other side, slamming it there as well. She gripped even tighter, and began slamming the Dark Lord into the deck plating, over and over and over again, until the Dark Lord raised his hands and severed the Force from Nomi.
Nomi Sunrider: "The Dark Side is a curious thing, Lord Kojiro. It seems to allow those who learn about it to execute their victims in the most elaborate and horrendous ways imaginable. But true strength does not come from the act of inflicting pain upon those weaker than oneself. I have learned the ways of the Dark Side, and I really must tell you.... I don't find them seductive at all. I find them repugnant."
Darth Kojiro: "Leave it to a Jedi... you could never understand. You're too preoccupied with showing mercy to the weak. You should have killed me when you had the chance."
Nomi Sunrider: "Masters, leave this hangar bay immediately!"
The remaining Jedi obeyed Nomi's command, and exited through the starboard airlock, and watched what was about to unfold.
Darth Kojiro: "Now face death, foolish one."
With that, Darth Kojiro ignited both of his red lightsabers, and charged toward Nomi Sunrider in the Form IV- Ataru stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png
Nomi Sunrider ignited her lightsabers as well, also in the Form IV- Ataru stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
Darth Kojiro and Nomi Sunrider clashed sabers. They were both moving faster than the eye could follow, delivering spinning aerial attacks against one another, both demonstrating saber mastery. Nomi Sunrider's body began to glow with blue light, while Kojiro's body was clouded by a dark red aura that seemed to swallow all other light. His burning amber eyes pierced through through the darkness, full of hatred. Darth Kojiro was slightly stronger than Nomi Sunrider, and was able to push her backwards, controlling the flow of the battle. Even with all her mastery of the Force, Nomi was not able to keep up with the Dark Lord. Within a few minutes of intense fighting, the Dark Lord knocked one of her lightsabers out of her hands. She had to roll out of the way to avoid being destroyed by a triumphant swing of the Dark One's saber.
Thinking quickly, Nomi cast a field of dark energy around Kojiro, slowing him down. In order to take advantage, she jumped back into the fray, and shattered one of the Dark One's glowing red lightsabers. The Dark One switched saber forms to Juyo, and continued fighting.
For a time, the intense surge of power provided by the Dark Side allowed Kojiro to fight through the dampening field that hindered his movements, giving him a clear advantage over Sunrider. Pushing her backwards, he vocalized his rage and frustration with every swing, beating her down with blow after blow after blow, weakening her resolve. Nomi also switched saber forms, and continued fighting in the Shii-Cho stance. The style allowed her to more strongly grip the blade, and provided additional leverage against the overpowering swings of the Dark Lord. And yet, no matter what Nomi Sunrider did, the Dark One kept advancing.... finally, he shattered Nomi Sunrider's dark blue saber. She stood unarmed in front of the Dark Lord, as he spun around and prepared to impale her through the chest. Nomi raised her hand one more time, and reached out with the force.....
The dark one completed the maneuver, and the glowing red saber thrust completely through Nomi Sunrider's chest, as she continued to look past the Dark Lord. She didn't gasp in pain, or try to block or dodge the attempt. She simply kept her arm outstretched, and continued concentrating.
From across the hangar bay, Nomi pulled the other blue lightsaber towards her, and caused it to ignite in midair. The dark blue blade impaled Darth Kojiro through the back, and even thrust itself into Nomi Sunrider herself.
Roaring in agony, the Dark One unleashed a cloud of dark blue energy, as he felt the mortal wound. The saber had gone straight through his heart. There was no way to survive this.
With one final nod, Nomi Sunrider released the structural integrity force field, and both Nomi and the Dark One were blown out into space, where the Dark One rejoined the Force... along with miss Sunrider.

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Darth Kojiro, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, he was still able to command the minds of the weak, and as such, he was still able to influence the Jedi Council's vote tally....

Master Frid Fefar returned to his quarters after witnessing the incredible death of Darth Kojiro. But before he could get to his quarters, he was stopped by a cloaked figure. Reacting quickly, Frid unleashed a massive Force Wave, blowing the attacker backward, knocking him or her against the far side of the corridor. He ignited his twin sabers, and prepared to defend himself in the advanced Niman style.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberblue.png
Undaunted, the attacking figure unleashed Chain Lightning, which ricocheted off of the corridor walls to attack Fefar at odd angles. There was no way he could defend against the attack, and he was burned and shocked horribly. He dropped his sabers, and it only got worse from there. He wailed in agony, but he quickly died.
The attacker fled the scene.
Master Bane Anded was wandering the corridors, when a cloaked figure came around the corner. Even though he could see the attack coming, he could hardly stop it. So he unleashed a massive Force Wave, blowing the attacker backward. The attacker rolled to his or her feet and charged forward. Anded took the momentary break in the action and quickly centered himself. His attacker unleashed Force Lightning....
Bane quickly ignited his purple lightsaber and held it in the Soresu style. He was able to deflect the energy easily, and he advanced forward, threatening to destroy his attacker. The attacker delivered a sudden flash of light, blinding Bane Anded, and when he was able to see again, his attacker had fled the scene.
Master Bip Kenner was wandering the corridors, when a cloaked figure came around the corner, brandishing an emerald lightsaber.
Kenner ignited his double-lightsaber.
The two combatants quietly meditated, and then the emerald assassin began the assault.
Reacting quickly, Bip Kenner disengaged the two sabers from each other, and hurled one of the yellow lightsabers at his opponent. Using telekinesis, he also caused a pile of cargo containers at the end of the hall to lift upward into the air. The emerald assassin used elegant Djem So swings of the blade to deflect all of these attacks, and Kenner jumped into the fray and fought using the Juyo style.
Kenner viciously attacked the emerald assassin, unleashing an incredibly powerful combination. However, the assassin was easily able to fend off these attacks with the Djem So style, while simultaneously deflecting various objects and sabers. They fought for a long time, neither able to gain the advantage.
After all of the airborne objects were hacked to pieces by the assassin, Kenner unleashed a massive cloud of charged protons, generating a field of stunning energy all around his attacker, who was able to disperse the field with his saber.
Kenner turned and fled from the battle, barely escaping with his life.
Master Va'ard Kypaz was patrolling the halls, when he saw an assassin approaching from the forward side. To his horror, he also saw an assassin approaching from the aft side, and another from the starboard side. He quickly began to center himself, and reached deep into the force for an extra burst of speed and strength. Then he ignited his purple lightsaber.
The first assassin unleashed a burst of chain lightning, which Kypaz easily deflected using the Djem So style.
The second assassin ignited an emerald blade and attacked in the Makashi style.
The third assassin ignited a dark blue blade and attacked in the Soresu style.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...beremerald.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
Va'ard demonstrated incredible skill, and great speed and accuracy, as he deflected the swings of the two attackers with his purple saber. The Djem So style was perfect for fighting off two attackers. Within a few moments, Va'ard was able to shatter the second assassin's emerald blade, which caused that assassin to flee. The third assassin switched to the Djem So style as well, but was not as proficient with the blade. Va'ard shattered the dark blue blade, and that assassin fled as well.
Finally, the first assassin unleashed a charged beam of dark energy, which Va'ard was able to dodge with ease, as he was far too fast for the assassin to keep up with.
Va'ard charged up to the first assassin and delivered a flying roundhouse kick to the face, which knocked the assassin unconscious and sent him or her skidding down the corridor.
Realizing he was somehow still alive, Va'ard charged past the stunned assassin and exited the deck through a nearby turbolift.
Master All'uan Kraytous was returning to her quarters, when she was attacked by a cloaked assassin who unleashed deadly chain lightning.
Reacting quickly, she ignited her emerald lightsaber and stood in the Djem so form. Then she swung her saber around so rapidly, with the assistance of the force, that she created a barrier.
The chain lightning could not possibly penetrate this field, and because All'uan was able to advance, the assassin had to think fast. The assassin unleashed a force wave, which knocked Kraytous to the ground, allowing the assassin to escape.
As she got up, she was surprised from behind by a second assassin. The attacker spun through the air, catching her off-guard, swinging a dark blue lightsaber in the Ataru aggression form.
Kraytous fought bravely, but off-balance, as the attacker pushed her backward, breaking down the Djem So defenses with overpowering, rapid, aerial strikes. After several minutes of fighting, Kraytous tried to blind her opponent with a flash of light, but it didn't work at all. Taking advantage of the momentary drop in defense, the assassin cut off Kraytous' hand and then delivered the finishing cut through her stomach, mortally wounding her.
She died within minutes. The attacker was long gone by then.
Master Keyeren Arva Sun was returning to her quarters, when suddenly she was attacked by a cloaked figure, who fired Chain Lightning at her! Keyeren tried to deflect the attack with her green lightsaber.
She wasn't fast enough, and the blow knocked her to the deck plating. Reacting quickly, she rolled to her feet and delivered a powerful force wave. The assassin was thrown down the hall, but the assassin also rolled to their feet. Standing in the Ataru stance, Keyeren threw her lightsaber into the air and also summoned some medical crates that were stacked in the corner, and used the force to throw them at her attacker. The attacker simply unleashed another volley of Chain Lightning, which blasted the saber and the objects out of the air, and directly impacted Master Keyeren Arva Sun, blowing her body against the wall of the corridor, burning her flesh, and causing her to writhe in agony.
She was quickly overcome, and lost consciousness. Her body was burned beyond recognition and she died. The attacker fled the scene.
Grandmaster An-Wan Dyas was in the command center, centering herself and strengthening her mind. She was able to see the future, and predicted the attack which was about to take place.
The cloaked assassin used a blast of the force to blow open the sealed doors to the chamber, and walked straight toward the Grandmaster.
First Defender: "Halt! Don't come any closer, or we will be forced to destroy you!"
The figure ignited a green saber.
Second Defender: "In the name of the Jedi Council, you're under arrest!"
The figure ignited a yellow saber.
An-Wan Dyas: "Surrender now, and you will be given a fair trial."
An-Wan ignited a blue saber.
The cloaked assassin wasted no time, and delivered a field of dark energy, surrounding An-Wan Dyas and her two defenders. The field caused them to feel agonizing pain, and feel sluggish and lose their concentration.
The first defender responded by reaching deep into the Force, to find the valor and courage it would take to continue fighting in this state. The defender was able to find the strength to continue.
Both the first and second defender hurled their lightsabers at the attacking assassin, as well as used telekinesis to send power regulators, chairs, tables, and various equipment flying at the assassin. The assassin vanished into thin air, causing all the objects to miss their mark.
The invisible assassin dodged the objects, and then reached deep into the force, and lifted up An-Wan Dyas and her two defenders, and began choking all three of them.
The first defender struggled hard against the attack, but was able to fight off the choke with his boosted strength and valor. He could not break free from the hold, but wasn't being strangled any more. The second defender unleashed a powerful cloud of charged protons, stunning the assassin and causing him to howl in pain. The cloak vanished, and the assassin became visible again, and it lay on the ground writhing in agony.
An-Wan Dyas and her two defenders dropped back to the ground. Acting quickly, the three Jedi grabbed their lightsabers and charged forward, ready to strike down the stunned assassin.
The assassin rolled to its feet, and restored its cloak of invisibility, and began masking its force signature.
The three Jedi swung their sabers around blindly, hoping to hit the assassin, but it seemed to have escaped.
An-Wan Dyas and her two defenders survived the battle!

An-Wan Dyas- Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Grandmaster An-Wan Dyas called the meeting of the Jedi Council to order.
An-Wan Dyas: "There were no less than TEN attacks on us last night, and we are incredibly fortunate to have only lost three of us in the process. Master Va'ard Kypaz took the brunt of the assault and managed to survive all three attacks, but Master All'uan Kraytous was not so lucky. She survived one attack but was slain by another. Masters Keyeren Arva Sun and Frid Fefar also fell in battle.
I was also attacked, and two Jedi who risked their lives to protect me were attacked by this same assassin. Somehow, we all managed to survive the attack, but the assassin escaped. Master Bane Anded and Master Bip Kenner also nearly lost their lives in other attacks, but I am very thankful they are still with us.
This is obviously not all the work of the Sith. What are you doing? Jedi, we are destroying ourselves.... I know that most of those attacks had to have been committed by Jedi! We are going to destroy ourselves before the Sith do at this rate.
I command you to use the force for knowledge and defense.... attack only when you are certain, or more innocent lives may be lost. That said, if you can end the Sith threat forever, I will look the other way. I still disapprove of these methods.
I will return when I have finished studying the Jedi Holocron. You must find the Sith Lord and Apprentice, or our victory yesterday will be our last."

An-Wan Dyas noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Dyas asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Jinn Lun-yz."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend herself." Dyas said.
Jinn Lun-yz: "This whole system is wack. You're all crazy, man. I don't mind telling you, I was trying to kill you all and join the Sith."
An-Wan Dyas: "WHAT???"
Jinn Lun-yz: "You turned your back on the Code, man. You are killing each other off for no reason like the Sith, man. It's completely insane. So if you can't beat em, join em I always say. If you're going to act like Sith, why not BE a Sith? The Sith are totally cool, man. Very very awesome. Why can't you all join the Dark Side? I wanna join the dark side!"
An-Wan Dyas: "WHAT???"
Jinn Lun-yz: "I'm gonna kill you all with mah lightening sabre! RARRR!!! RARRR!!!!"
An-Wan Dyas: "......Execute her."
The Jedi Council grabbed Jinn Lun-yz and threw her into the hangar bay, which was quickly decompressed. She blew out into space, suffocated, and died.
An-Wan Dyas: "Hmmmmm..... that was a Jedi, but quite honestly, we could have done without her shenanigans. She was not on the light side of the force. And, I think there was something wrong with her mind.... she was not doing good deeds for us. Such a shame she was a Jedi. We need to be working together."

On-so C'ba was returning to his quarters when he was confronted by a cloaked figure. The cloaked figure lifted a hand and began to drain the life and force out of Master C'ba, creating a massive, dark vortex.
Reacting quickly, On-so C'ba unleashed a massive wave of the Force, throwing the cloaked figure down the hallway, and slamming it hard against the far wall. The cloaked figure was knocked unconscious.
On-so turned and ran for his life. He survived!
In the command center of the ship, Grandmaster An-Wan Dyas was preparing for battle. What was coming, she had foreseen. She meditated and prepared her mind and body.
In the shadows, stood Jedi Master Talnah Corham, and Jedi Master Bip Kenner. Talnah prepared his mind and body, meditating and focusing his mind. Kenner was also meditating.
The figure appeared before them like a shadow, out of thin air. The veil of the Dark Side was lifted, and the figure immediately unleashed a horrifying field of Dark Side energy. The field hit them like a wave of madness and horror, confusion and panic, sickness and death. It was like a horrible plague of the mind and the body.
Kenner, Corham, and Dyas all fell to their knees in agony, and they lost their focus and concentration!
Reacting as quickly as they could, Kenner raised a powerful shield around himself, out of the Force. An-Wan Dyas unleashed a powerful blast of charged proton particles, attempting to stun the assassin. Talnah Corham unleashed his green lightsaber and hurled it at the attacker, and used his mind to launch a stack of cargo containers at the Sith.
The Sith vanished into thin air, and then re-appeared several meters to the side. The charged blast of particles and the airborne objects all missed. As the cloak vanished, the Sith looked the Jedi straight in the eye.... its burning hatred for the Jedi revealed.
The Sith raised its hands, and unleashed a triumphant roar, focused through the Dark Side of the Force into an overpowering blast of destructive power. The sonic blast continued into a wave, and then focused into a tightly compacted force beam. The beam continued firing, and rapidly grew in size and strength within a fraction of a second, consuming the deck plating, the command consoles, the inner and outer hull of the ship, and tore a hole straight through the ship's emergency containment field and the deflector shields.
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/qtKro8CAHGE?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/qtKro8CAHGE?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>
Talnah Corham was destroyed instantaneously.
An-Wan Dyas was also wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Bip Kenner focused his shields, and unleashed maximum power, but he was not powerful enough to hold it.... within seconds, the shields began to buckle. As soon as they fell, Bip Kenner was also obliterated.
The Sith watched as the Jedi were vaporized. Almost everything in the command center had been smashed into space dust, and blown out into space. The deck decompressed, almost blowing the Sith out into space with the rest of it, but then the structural integrity force fields re-engaged. As the atmospheric pressure was restored, the Sith stood triumphant, laughing maniacally.
AHAHAHAHA!!!!
AHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!!
Its voice boomed, echoing throughout the Star Destroyer. Everyone could feel the massive tremor in the Force, as if three great and powerful Light Side signatures had suddenly vanished.
In their place, they could all feel an overpowering aura of darkness.
When the Sith returned back to the shadows from whence it came, another figure appeared, as if looking for someone. After searching frantically, that person left the scene, disappointed.

Bane Anded showed the Jedi Council a hologram containing the last words of An-Wan Dyas.
An-Wan Dyas: "As Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, I will entrust the leadership of the council and the safety of the Jedi to Master Bane Anded. If he should not be able to perform this function...."
Grandmaster Bane Anded spoke.
"Last night, our brave defenders and our great leader were slain in battle... just swept away in one terrible blow.
One of us was also attacked. Master On-so C'ba survived the encounter. We are thankful he is still with us.
I know this: We must find the Sith Lord, or all is lost. You must bring the Sith Lord before me, or we have failed. There is nothing else that can be said here; you must bring me the Sith Lord.
You must get to work. I will study the Jedi Holocron and see if I can find some answers there."
Bane Anded returned to his quarters to study, and the remaining Masters looked at one another suspiciously, and began to discuss.

There have been promotions in Rank.

Bane Anded noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Anded asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Carnus Daye, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Anded said.
Carnus Daye: "What? I'm being thrown out into space? This is outrageous! No, I didn't do it, I swear!"
Bane Anded: "Can you point to any specific reason why you shouldn't be executed?"
Carnus Daye: "I sure can!"
Bane Anded: "......Well?"
Carnus Daye: "Because I can survive it, of course. Seems pretty self-explanatory to me."
Bane Anded just stood there, speechless. After a moment, he recovered, and replied:
Bane Anded: "Is there any specific proof you can give that you're not a Sith?"
Carnus Daye: "Maybe, but you wouldn't understand it anyway. If I am to be thrown out into space, can I do it kicking and screaming?"
Bane Anded: ".....I guess?"
Carnus Daye: "You'll never take me alive, Jedi! Unhand me, fools! I REGRET NOTHING!!! I REGRET NOTHING!!! BWAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!"
Bane Anded turned to one of the Masters standing next to him and muttered something about the entire ship having gone completely mad.
Carnus Daye was thrown out into the hangar bay, which caused even more protestations from Daye.
Carnus Daye: "Hey! Don't mess up my hair!"
The other Jedi looked even more puzzled. Bane Anded pushed the button and Carnus Daye was blown out into space, where he spun around like a ballerina and did pantomime for about ten minutes. It was really quite impressive. Finally, Anded took pity on the lad and brought him back inside.
Carnus Daye: "I still regret nothing. Told you so!"
With that, Daye passed out and was rushed to the medical bay.
Bane Anded just shook his head and gave everyone their assignments for the night.

Grandmaster Bane Anded was guarding the weapons room, when he sensed a presence approaching. Acting quickly, he shielded his force signature and stepped into the shadows, holding himself still and rendering himself practically invisible.
The cloaked figure approached the weapons room, and looked around for Bane Anded. The figure ignited its purple lightsaber, holding it in the Djem So style. After several blind swings, the cloaked figure disengaged the lightsaber and left.
Master Va'ard Kypaz stood in the Hangar Bay, keeping watch over the area. He sensed several figures approaching.... seven of them.
Acting quickly, he began to meditate and strengthen his mind, and he prepared himself for the feats of acrobatics he was about to unleash. The assassins came from both airlocks, cutting off any escape route.
Kypaz ignited his purple lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so stance, the perfect counter to multiple attackers.

The first assassin ignited a dark blue lightsaber, and stood in the Soresu form.
The second assassin ignited a lime green lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so form.
The third assassin ignited a dark blue lightsaber, and stood in the Ataru form.
The fourth assassin ignited a turquoise lightsaber, and stood in the Djem so form.
The fifth assassin ignited an emerald lightsaber, and stood in the Soresu form.
The sixth assassin ignited a lime green lightsaber, and stood in the Makashi form.
The seventh assassin raised its hands, which began to crackle with power.
Va'ard Kypaz: "It's been an honor serving with you all, my fellow Jedi. I hope you won't mind if I don't just lie down and take this like a punk?"
Seventh assassin: "You're welcome to try and stop us."
Va'ard Kypaz: "I'll die trying, my friends...."
With that, Kypaz flashed a grin, and dove straight into the middle of the fray, allowing the force to guide his motions. The first assassin moved cautiously forward, and held the dark blue saber in front vertically like a shield in the Soresu stance, and prepared to deflect any attacks from Kypaz.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ars/Soresu.png
The second assassin also moved in, holding its green saber high in the Djem so form, delivering a barrage of swings, and easily deflecting Kypaz' purple saber. Kypaz held off the first assassin with ease, but struggled to fend off the second, which reached deep into the force and unleashed force valor.
The first assassin threw one of its dark blue sabers in the air, and ignited a second one. A pile of cargo containers was flung in the direction of Kypaz, who dodged them with an artful series of stunning flips and dodges. Kypaz shattered the airborne lightsaber and continued fighting valiantly.
Thinking quickly, Kypaz unleashed a brilliant beam of protons in the direction of the second assassin, who deflected the stream of particles with ease, and unleashed a powerful force wave, sending Kypaz flying against the duranium plating on the far wall. Reacting instinctively, Kypaz landed feet first against the wall, and vaulted himself back into the battle, landing between the third and fourth assassins.
The third assassin launched itself toward Kypaz, delivering a spinning series of aerial attacks in the Ataru style.
Kypaz deflected these attacks as best he could manage, but the overpowering attack knocked his lightsaber out of his hands. It was all he could do to dodge the fatal cut, perform a backflip, and use the force to summon his lightsaber back into his hands.
The fourth assassin unleashed a proton beam at Kypaz, who scattered the beam with ease with his lightsaber. The assassin continued, and delivered a powerful combination in the Djem so style, which Kypaz deflected, also in Djem so. He backed away from the advancing attackers, forcing them to attack, which allowed Kypaz to counter as Djem so intended.
Kypaz unleashed counter-torrent of protons at the assassin, who deflected it with ease with its lightsaber. Kypaz did a backward leap out of danger, landing between the fifth and sixth assassins.
The fifth assassin advanced in Soresu, swinging the shimmering emerald blade with quick, precise strikes, which Kypaz deflected with ease. The assassin reached deep into the force, and doubled its speed and strength, but still Kypaz simply kicked the lightsaber out of the fifth assassin's hands, delivered a roundhouse kick to the temple of the cloaked figure, knocking it unconscious, and then focused on the sixth assassin.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...beremerald.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...rs/Makashi.png
The sixth assassin approached in the Makashi style, brandishing a lime green saber. Kypaz easily deflected the smooth, flowing swings of his attacker, and quickly knocked the lime green blade out of its hands, and delivered quick punch to the face of this assassin, sending it skidding across the hangar deck.
The seventh assassin finished charging up a massive amount of force energy, and unleashed it in the form of Chain Lightning. Kypaz angled his saber toward the seventh assassin in the Djem so style, and attempted to draw all the force lightning into his saber. The hellish storm of electrons hit Kypaz from all angles, and the Jedi screamed in pain and agony, trying to focus his mind. Swinging his saber around, and using his mental focus to direct the lightning toward his blade, all of the energy of the attack was re-directed toward his shimmering purple lightsaber.
The seventh assassin began charging up dark energy.
By now, the first assassin had returned for more, with the second dark blue saber held in the Djem so form. Kypaz switched to the Soresu style and continued.
They fought a close battle, and the assassin threw the second saber in the air, which the Jedi promptly shattered. Fuel containers were hurled at Kypaz by this first assassin, and Kypaz did a sideways dodge, and a handspring backflip, and avoided the heavy containers of fuel, and deflected several more with his saber.
The first assassin, unarmed, fled the scene. The second assassin also fled the scene.
The seventh assassin continued charging up dark energy.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...Wars/Niman.png
The third assassin approached again, this time trying Soresu, but Kypaz quickly shattered the dark blue saber and kicked the assassin in the head, knocking it unconscious.
The fourth assassin was standing nearby, and was now also standing in Soresu. Kypaz easily shattered the lime green lightsaber and punched the assassin in the face, knocking him out cold. It landed next to the fifth assassin, who was still unconscious.
Now there were only two assassins left remaining. The seventh assassin was nearly finished charging up dark energy.
"Is this the best you've got? I'm Va'ard :daisy:ing Kypaz!"
The sixth assassin centered himself and summoned his saber back to his hand, and unleashed a second green saber. This time, the sixth assassin approached in an advanced Niman form.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png
Unleashing Force Valor, the sixth assassin delivered an elegant combination of swings, quickly overpowering the Soresu defense, and cutting off Kypaz' hands at the wrist. Now Kypaz was totally unarmed.
Desperate, he had to do the only thing he could do, which was escape. Reaching deep into the Force, Kypaz delivered an flying leap over the heads of the two remaining assassins....
The sixth assassin jumped as well, delivering a series of lethal cuts to Kypaz as he flew through the air. His shredded body was then hit by a gigantic blast of dark side power....
The blast incinerated the mortally wounded Jedi. The Dark Side energy ripped the life out of Kypaz, leaving nothing but a smoking husk of shredded meat, which splattered all over the deck plating.
The seventh assassin began glowing with brilliant energy. The Penance experienced a momentary loss of power, and then all systems came back online.

Master On-so C'ba was returning to his quarters late that night, when a cloaked figure approached him. The cloaked figure raised its hands and began roaring triumphantly.
Within seconds, the dark figure used the force to channel the sonic energy into a concentrated blast, which increased in power and intensity. On-so attempted to flee the battle as quickly as possible, tapping into the force and doubling his speed and strength, but it was too late. A field of dark energy surrounded On-so, and he felt weak, he felt sick, and he felt disoriented. The dark figure fired the destruction beam at On-so, and the deck plating and the bulkheads began to tear apart.
On-so shielded himself with a bubble of the Force, and tried with all his might to hold the protective field, but it began to buckle. The shield shattered, and On-so C'ba was ripped apart by the beam, and the remains were sent scattering into space.
There was now a massive hole in the lower starboard side of the ship, and the deck began to decompress. The structural integrity force fields responded, and the hole in the ship was closed before the dark figure could be blown out into space.
The dark figure moved on.
__________________________
Master Kel Dih-Mar was returning to her quarters as well, when she was approached by a dark figure. She attempted to use the force to lift the assassin in the air and then toss it around, but the dark figure waved a hand, and canceled the maneuver. Kel Dih-Mar felt herself enveloped by a dark field of energy, and she felt sickness, nausea, and disorientation. All around her, and indeed, all around the Penance itself, there was a horrifying vortex of dark power, centered around Master Kel Dih-mar. She tried to use Force Push to knock the assailant away, but the Force had been drained completely out of her... she turned to run but it was too late. She felt the life being drained from her, and she lost consciousness. The dark side had consumed her in a maelstrom of death.
The dark figure began to laugh maniacally, relishing the death of the Jedi. Its booming voice could be heard from one side of the ship to the other.

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Master Va'ard Kypaz, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, the other Jedi welcomed him back, and would count his vote even though he was deceased.

Bane Anded: "It appears I was mistaken. Master Va'ard Kypaz was not a Sith Master or even a Sith Lord at all. I am afraid we might have committed a critical error in attacking Master Kypaz. Fortunately, Master Kypaz is not gone, for he continues to advise us through the Force, and we welcome his judgment and wisdom on all matters before the Council.
It seems I was also attacked last night, but I was able to remain hidden. Masters Kel Dih-mar and On-so C'ba were not so lucky, as they were both slain. Fortunately as well, Master Dih-mar is not gone either, and she continues to advise us through the Force. We welcome her judgment as well.
But I am not certain we have been defeated, fellow Jedi. I feel certain in fact that we have not been beaten yet. It is always darkest before the dawn. And a new day has dawned.
I say this to you, urgently, you MUST bring me a Sith Lord today. I will not accept the loss of any more Jedi. Do you all understand?"
The remnants of the Jedi Council nodded quietly, and began to commune with the Force and discuss this matter.

Bane Anded noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Anded asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Bos Dhi Kao, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Anded said.
Bos Dhi Kao: "What are the charges against me, exactly?"
Bane Anded: "You're accused of being a Sith Lord, murdering dozens of Jedi..."
Bos Dhi Kao: *facepalm*
Bane Anded: "How do you respond?"
Bos Dhi Kao: "Well, my friends, I know you tried your best, but once again you have chosen incorrectly. I am not worried though, I know you will catch the guilty parties. I have great faith in you."
Bane Anded: "Indeed?"
Bos Dhi Kao: "Now I hope you don't mind, but I cannot allow myself to die. I will be blown out into space but I am most definitely going to hold my breath."
Bane Anded: *facepalm*
With that, the remaining Jedi led Master Bos Dhi Kao out into the hangar bay, where he began to meditate and focus himself. He removed his Jedi robes and handed over his lightsaber, and smiled at the others, as if assuring them that everything was going to be all right.
Bane Anded pressed the switch, and Master Bos was blown out into space, where he demonstrated even better ballerina skills than Carnus Daye, and much better pantomime. There was even some dance routines thrown in, and man, you really should have seen what he did after that. It was totally awesome, but you had to be there, man. I am totes speechless right now. Seriously dude.
So anyway, Bos floated back into the hangar bay and pressure was restored.
Bos Dhi Kao: "I'm still alive...."
The Jedi Master passed out and he was taken to the medical bay. Bane Anded furrowed his brow, and pondered what they were going to do next.
The other Jedi went and performed their nightly guard duties.

Master Gith Ranay was patrolling the destroyed halls when he was approached by a cloaked figure. He quickly centered himself and ignited his lime green lightsaber in the Makashi stance.
The cloaked figure wordlessly ignited a turquoise lightsaber in the Makashi stance as well.
The two saber masters clashed in the ancient fencing style. The two were very evenly matched, and neither gave any quarter. The attacker could gain no advantage over the defender.
Reaching deep into the Force, the attacker unleashed Force Valor. The defender did the same, and they struck with even more power, but neither could gain an advantage.
Realizing this contest was a draw, the attacker used a mind trick to distract Gith Ranay, and then ducked into the shadows and became invisible, making its force signature disappear as well.
_______________________________
Sky Yi'do was patrolling the halls, and she could sense the two figures approaching her location.
Thinking quickly, she ducked into the shadows and masked her force signature, becoming invisible.
The first assassin ignited a dark blue lightsaber, and swung it around in the Ataru form, attempting to locate Sky.
The second assassin ignited a lime green lightsaber, and swung it around in the Makashi style.
Yi'do remained hidden in the shadows, motionless. One of the sabers came close to cutting her, but she did nothing. The second assassin thought about using a different saber form, but realized it was pointless.
The two assassins left the scene. Yi'do hurried back to her quarters.
_______________________________
Bos Dhi Kao was guarding the weapons room, when he sensed three figures approaching his location. Thinking quickly, he ducked into the shadows and used a mind trick to distract the approaching figures, and made himself invisible.
The first assassin swung a dark blue saber around in the Juyo stance.
The second assassin swung a green saber around in the Djem so stance.
The third assassin summoned a great amount of dark energy, and attempted to release it, but something interrupted the attack, and it was completely blocked!
Growling in frustration, the third assassin unleashed twin purple lightsabers, and swung madly into the shadows in an advanced Niman stance, but nothing happened.

Bane Anded: "Well done, Jedi Council! While Sky Yi'do, Gith Ranay, and Bos Dhi Kao were all attacked last night, all of them survived their encounters with these assassins.
Nevertheless, we are still in grave danger. We must stop the Sith here and now, before they can do any further damage! You must bring me the guilty parties, or our stalemate last night will only prolong our defeat for one more cycle.
Do what you must. I shall study the Holocron and return."
With that, the discussion began.

Bane Anded noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Anded asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Bos Dhi Kao, your grace. We are certain this one is a Sith!"
"Very well. Let's hear what he has to say for himself."
Bos Dhi Kao: "This is an outrage! I haven't killed anyone! You've been fooled once again by the blind leader. There's no other way to say it but to just say it: I AM NOT A SITH. YOU HAVE FAILED. We're all doomed now, so good job. I really appreciate being dragged to my death for absolutely no reason at all. The Dark Side has blinded you all! You think you've won, but it has consumed you all! The light has been extinguished, there's nothing left!
I was the last of the light side Jedi! Believe me when I say this, NOTHING CAN STOP THE SITH NOW!!!"
The Jedi Council seemed slightly shaken by this revelation.
Bane Anded: "What are you saying?"
Bos Dhi Kao: "You've destroyed the Jedi Order, Bane! You've succeeded in twisting them all into your little puppets, little agents of evil, pawns of the Dark Side.... the real Jedi Order has been destroyed.... everything that it stood for is now gone. You've destroyed us all, Bane Anded! You've destroyed us all!"
Bane Anded: "Oh Master Kao, I truly grow weary of your lies, and more lies, and more lies and even more lies. Why don't you finally just shut up? You've been caught. It's done. Stop trying to weasel out of it, you're not fooling anyone you know, least of all me."
Bos Dhi Kao: "Fine! Fine! Let's all get ourselves blown into space! How does that sound? I might not be able to save the Jedi Order, but I'm certainly not going to allow the Sith to win. Open sesame!"
With that, master Bos Dhi Kao used the force to rip the outer hangar bay door clean off of the ship and send it hurtling into space, leaving only the force field between the remainder of the Jedi Council and the vacuum of space.
Bos Dhi Kao: "So, what's it going to be, Bane? How would you like to see all your dark puppets get destroyed, and you along with them? I could destroy you all with a single thought. You lack the power to threaten me, so you'd better just back off."
Bane Anded: "Yes, that's something a Jedi would say. Your performance has been downright entertaining, but now all you're doing is making me laugh."
Bos Dhi Kao: "Oh.... I think I'm going to enjoy killing you most of all, you smug little insect....."

Darth Sigurd, Dark Lord of the Sith
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png
Darth Sigurd ignited his crimson lightsabers, and charged headlong into the remaining Jedi. Bane Anded ignited his purple sabers and met him in battle.

Darth Sigurd unleashed a powerful Force Whirlwind, knocking the other Jedi out of the way. Then he unleashed a massive blast of Chain Lightning, knocking Bane Anded into the gaping hole in the ship's superstructure that Darth Kojiro made with Force Destruction.
The two most powerful beings on the ship clashed sabers, with Darth Sigurd maintaining the advantage. Bane fought in the advanced Niman form, and the Dark Lord fought in the advanced Ataru. The master of the saber beat down on the Grandmaster relentlessly, landing blow after blow, forcing Anded backward, deeper into the bowels of the ship.
Sigurd was able to shatter one of Bane Anded's purple lightsabers, and then kick him forcefully in the jaw, sending him flying through the twisted wreckage and down the corridor. Anded rolled to his feet and retreated into the port side Hangar bay, where many hundreds of Jedi Fighters were docked. The blast door closed behind him, but Darth Sigurd simply tore the duranium blast door off of its mechanism with the Force and entered the hangar.
Inside the gigantic room, Anded was in serious danger. The Dark Lord lifted the Jedi Fighters and hurled them at Bane, attempting to crush the Grandmaster.
Bane was able to focus, and sever the force from the Dark Lord, sparing him from further giant projectiles. The fighters crumpled against the hangar deck, and Bane made his escape through one of the side airlocks.
The Dark Lord followed, as Bane made his way through more twisted wreckage of the Penance, and headed for the Main Turbolift shaft.
Bane used a Force Jump to leap several decks up from where he was. Reaching out with the Force, Bane Anded tore several of the turbolift cars off of the lift mechanism, and sent them hurtling down against the Dark Lord, who reached out with the Force and gripped the falling objects, and sent them flying back up the shaft, aiming for Bane Anded. The Grandmaster was able to escape through one of the side corridors just in time.
The Dark Lord followed Bane, sending out a storm of Force Lightning, trying to reach the Grandmaster.
The combatants reached the Engineering section, where giant plasma exhaust ports from the lower decks directed the exhaust away from the reactors, toward the upper decks. Bane Anded hurried across one of the fuel lines to get to the far side of the chamber.
The Dark Lord continued advancing, and as he did, the dark side became so intense around his body that the exhaust ports began to warp and twist, until they exploded, one by one, as the Dark Lord passed them.
The chamber began to fill with plasma exhaust, hot enough to melt duranium. The body of Darth Sigurd began to burn from the exhaust, but the Dark Lord continued advancing as if unaffected by his burning flesh. The Force was holding his body together.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...rth_Sigurd.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...enance-001.png
The Grandmaster made his way to the aft cargo bay. There was no place else to retreat to, as the Dark Lord stood between him and the rest of the ship.
Darth Sigurd: "This is the end for you, your grace...."
Bane Anded: "I don't think so..."
With that, Bane unleashed a powerful dark field of energy, surrounding the Dark Lord of the Sith. The field caused him to feel pain, nausea, dizziness, and caused him to lose his focus. The Dark Lord howled with rage, as Bane charged forward and quickly knocked both of the Dark Lord's lightsabers out of his weakened hands, and prepared to deliver the finishing blow, but the Dark Lord unleashed a massive Force Wave and sent Bane flying against the outer doors of the cargo bay.
Darth Sigurd: "If you think you can beat me with the Dark Side, you're much more foolish than I thought."
Darth Sigurd reached out with the Force and began to choke Grandmaster Anded, lifting him up off of the deck plating, and he began slamming Bane against the sides of the cargo bay, and the upper deck, and the deck plating below. Darth Sigurd cackled, relishing the sweet, sweet torment.
He reached out with both hands and began gripping Anded tighter and tighter, attempting to crush the Grandmaster. Wanting to look his victim in the eye before he perished, the Dark Lord pulled the helpless Anded closer, and closer, and closer, while squeezing the life out of him. Anded clawed at his throat, unable to breathe. He dropped his purple lightsaber, and began to black out. Sigurd laughed victoriously, watching Anded die before his very eyes.
Anded reached out with the Force himself, and gripped Sigurd by the throat, lifting him up off of the ground, choking him. Sigurd was surprised by the move, and released Anded from his grip. Anded slammed the body of Darth Sigurd against the deck plating repeatedly, and then hurled him toward the outer doors of the cargo bay. The Dark Lord struggled to his feet, bloodied, and enraged.
Standing before Darth Sigurd was Bane Anded, and behind him was the entire length of the Penance, because Sigurd was standing on the extreme end of the aft section of the ship. From this vantage point, Darth Sigurd could obliterate the entire vessel in one shot. Even if he couldn't kill Anded directly, everyone else would die, and the vessel would be destroyed, and Anded would die in the explosion.
The Dark Lord began summoning enough energy to unleash Force Destruction.
Thinking quickly, Bane Anded grabbed one of the Dark Lord's red lightsabers, and hurled it at the Sith, just before the creature unleashed the deadly attack.
The saber embedded itself in Darth Sigurd's chest, causing the Sith Lord to scream with rage. It was all Bane Anded could do to shield himself from the violent sonic blast.
The Sith Lord pulled the red lightsaber out of his body, and hurled it back at Bane Anded, who dropped to the deck in order to avoid being decapitated. The mortally wounded Sith Lord unleashed a hellish Force Storm, trying to destroy Anded utterly before he died.
Bane rolled to his feet, and lifted his hands. The powerful storm hit Anded with its full force, and Anded reached deep into the Force to counter the attack. The energy from the attack gathered in Bane's hands, growing stronger and stronger and stronger.
Bane Anded's eyes began to glow with frightening power. Electricity surrounded Anded's body, but it was now under his control. He turned this power back against the Dark Lord of the Sith, in one sudden, powerful, final judgment.
The surge of power obliterated the Dark Lord of the Sith in a single blast, and ripped through the outer cargo bay doors, blowing what was left of the Dark Lord out into space. In a moment, the structural integrity force field restored itself, and pressure was restored to the aft cargo bay.
Evil laughter filled the Penance.
It came from everywhere, in every direction.
Darth Sigurd was still there.....

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Darth Sigurd, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, he was still able to command the minds of the weak, and as such, he was still able to influence the Jedi Council's vote tally....

Master Carnus Daye was patrolling the halls, when a cloaked figure emerged from the shadows, igniting a turquoise double-lightsaber in an advanced Juyo form.
Unknown: "FOOLISH JEDI!!! YOUR ARROGANCE BLINDS YOU!!! I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!!!"
Carnus Daye ignited his dark blue lightsaber and hurled it at the unknown attacker, who simply deflected it. The saber returned to Daye, as he lifted up several cargo canisters with the Force and sent them flying at the attacker. The unknown attacker hacked all of the incoming containers to pieces, and continued advancing. The attacker disengaged the double-lightsaber from itself, and hurled both blades at Carnus Daye, and the wreckage from the cargo containers were also flung at Daye through the Force.
Master Daye released a powerful burst of the Force, pushing the lightsabers and the attacker down. Daye swung his dark blue sabers at the prone foe, who rolled out of the way, summoned both sabers back into its hands, and vanished into thin air.
The unknown attacker had escaped, but Carnus Daye was still alive.

Sio Eroseeth was guarding the weapons room, meditating, when a cloaked figure appeared out of thin air, and swung a turquoise lightsaber at him in the Makashi stance.
Reacting quickly, Sio defended himself with a lightsaber of his own, in the Soresu style.
The two combatants clashed viciously, and Sio reached deep into the Force and unleashed Force Valor. In response, the attacker unleashed a second turquoise saber and sent it flying into the air. Sio deflected this attack, but noticed that his attacker had used the Force to tear many of the doors along the corridor off of their drive mechanisms, and sent them hurtling down the corridor in his direction through telekinesis.
It was all Sio could do to dodge the incoming attacks.
They continued to clash sabers, neither giving any ground. The attacker, frustrated beyond measure, roared with rage and hatred, but it could not break through. With one last burst of power, the attacking figure smashed the lightsaber out of Sio Eroseeth's hands, and punched him squarely in the jaw, sending him flying against the deck plating.
He quickly summoned his saber back to him, prepared to defend himself further, but the attacker had vanished.

Sky Yi'do was sulking in one of the many destroyed sections of the ship, in the darkness, cursing the Jedi Order.
She sensed 5 figures approaching. She meditated quickly, and focused her mind, and saw into the future, and she was enraged.
Sky Yi'do: "I know you're there, Jedi. You've made your final mistake, coming here to kill me. Allow me to show you how blind you truly are...."
Yi'do vanished into thin air, and the sound of her cackling echoed throughout the chamber.
The first assassin ignited a dark blue double-lightsaber, in the advanced juyo stance.
The second assassin ignited a lime green double-lightsaber, in the advanced juyo stance.
The third assassin ignited twin dark blue sabers, in the advanced Niman stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
The fourth assassin ignited twin lime green sabers, in the advanced Niman stance.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png
The fifth assassin's eyes were glowing, and it began charging up a massive amount of energy.
Yi'do suddenly appeared in front of the first assassin, and quickly disarmed it with her turquoise double-lightsaber, and then knocked out the assassin with a single kick to the temple, and Yi'do vanished once again.
The second assassin was more alert, swinging its double-saber around wildly, attempting to cut down Yi'do blindly. But Yi'do appeared out of nowhere, shattered the double blade in half, and used the force to hurl the unarmed assassin into a pile of twisted metal.
The third assassin threw its twin blades into the air, and used telekinesis to swing them around madly, trying to catch Yi'do off-guard. But Yi'do shattered both blades, and then kicked the assassin in the back of the head, knocking him out cold.
Sky Yi'do: "How foolish you are.... how blind you've become. This is not over, Jedi... and more will die before this is all over."
The fifth assassin unleashed a hellish Force Storm, filling the deck with brilliant, painful lightning. The attack struck everyone in range, but was focused in the direction of the haunting voice. The cloaked Yi'do was struck hard, and became visible. She was knocked into a bulkhead on the far side of the collapsed deck, where she lay writhing in agony.
The fourth assassin recovered from the Storm, and tossed Sky Yi'do around with Force Wave. She was slammed against the deck and the ceiling, and hurled back toward the assassins.
Then, the assassin unleashed Force Valor, and leaped into the air, and delivered one final blow to the fallen Sky, impaling her twice through the chest with the lime green sabers. Sky Yi'do screamed in pain and hatred.
Sky Yi'do: "You haven't won..... you've failed..... you've FAILED. And, you deserve it.... fools....."
Sky Yi'do's eyes closed, and she quickly died.
They checked her body..... there were no red lightsabers to be found.

Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Dark Jedi Master Sky Yi'do, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though she was not exactly as she once was, the other Jedi would listen to what she had to say, because they needed all the help they could get.

Bane Anded: "It seems as though Sky Yi'do had turned her back on the Jedi Council, resentful that we tried to execute her. She must have had a natural inclination to the dark side, and according to the logs I found in her quarters, she harbored bitter resentment over that action. Once she went down the dark path, she did not turn back.
She seemed to lash out at us for our second attempt at killing her, trying to kill us in return. I am thankful that she failed, but at the same time, we have wasted an important opportunity and I fear we shall pay dearly for it."
:no:
Bane Anded shook his head.
"Carnus Daye and Sio Eroseeth were attacked and survived, and Sky Yi'do was attacked by several Jedi and destroyed.
I am at a loss to explain where the Sith are hiding. We are out of time; we must destroy the Sith utterly, we cannot afford any more losses."
With that, the discussion began.

Bane Anded noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Anded asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"Sio Eroseeth, your grace."
"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend himself." Anded said.
Sio Eroseeth: "I'm so disappointed in all of you. Given the few suspects remaining, the odds were pretty decent that we'd actually destroy a Sith, but you've failed once more."
Bane Anded: "Is there any reason why you shouldn't be executed?"
Sio Eroseeth: "You mean other than my innocence? Not a one. I could try to prove my whereabouts, but it's a bit late for all that. I can see your minds are made up, and enthusiastically so. We don't stand a chance."
Bane Anded: "Are you going to resist the Council's judgment as well?"
Sio Eroseeth: "I guess you'll just have to wait and see...."
With that, Bane Anded ordered the other Jedi to forcefully escort Sio to the hangar bay. As he got closer and closer, Eroseeth tried harder and harder to resist, showing obvious signs of panic. The Jedi gripped him by the limbs and carried him for the rest of the way, as he screamed in protest and accused them all of either being blind or Sith, but he could not narrow down which of them were Sith. In fact he had abstained from accusing anyone in particular.
He was thrown inside the hangar bay, and the airlock was sealed. After spitting on the floor, he ignited his twin lightsabers and attempted to cut his way out of the opposing airlock.

Sio Eroseeth: "You're going to regret this, fellow Jedi...."
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Sio wasn't able to break through the airlock in time; Bane Anded pressed the button and the entire hangar bay decompressed, blowing the panicking Eroseeth out into space, where he struggled for a bit, became motionless, and stayed that way for a long time.
Concerned that this was a trick, Bane Anded left Sio out in space for over an hour, and then pulled Sio back into the hangar bay with the tractor beam, and began to examine the body.
Bane Anded: "This one.... was a Jedi. I have no reason to believe he's ever done anything to harm anyone, even though his mind was undisciplined."
He ordered one of the nearby medical droids to take the body back for further examination, and then to place the body in cold storage. He then began the task of deciding what everyone should do that night.
The ship never felt more deserted. Or vulnerable to attack.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Seon was a Jedi Master!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:He was Jedi!
Suddenly, a figure made out of light appeared before the Council. It was Jedi Master Sio Eroseeth, back from the Netherworld of the Force. Even though he was not exactly as he once was, the other Jedi welcomed him back, and would count his vote even though he was deceased.

Grandmaster Bane Anded knew that the Sith would be attacking that night, so he thought up a plan, and thought it up quick.
He sent the ship into a spin, hurtling toward one of the lesser populated sections of Coruscant's southern polar region. Here, there was a preserve for off-planet flora and fauna, and wide open spaces to safely (more or less) crash the ship.
Because of the spin, everyone on the ship began to tumble around, and it was near impossible to navigate through the corridors once the ship hit the atmosphere. The vibrations and the g-forces were too much, and everyone simply held on tight, as the ship descended.
Just before the ship hit the ground, the Grandmaster used the force to take the ship out of the spin and level its descent, allowing a more controlled crash.
When everyone came to, Bane Anded ordered the ship to evacuate, and for everyone to meet on the planet's surface.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:When everyone was gathered together, Bane Anded addressed the survivors. There was Kenth Cogma, and Carnus Daye, and Ushi Makoth, and Gith Ranay.
Bane Anded: "You know why we are all here. It is time for this charade to end. Sith, you must show yourselves. Let this be our final battle!"
Gith Ranay: "I'm pretty sure you're a Sith, Bane!"
Kenth Cogma: "Yeah, why haven't the Sith attacked you and stuff?"
Ushi Makoth: "I'm almost certain you're a Sith, Cogma!"
Carnus Daye: "I think I can clear up this mystery for you....."
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Carnus Daye removed his giant fake plastic head, revealing his true identity underneath....
Carnus Daye: "I am not a Jedi! I am Carnus Daye, captain of the Ewok guard! I'm really happy for you Jedi, and I'm going to let you finish catching Sith, but I am among the greatest Ewok warriors of all time! Of all time!'
With that, Ushi Makoth laughed and removed her disguise as well.
Ushi Makoth: "It is good to see you still alive, Daye! Sorry, fellow 'Jedi' but I too am an impostor. I am Ushi "Tarzanius" Makoth, an even greater Ewok warrior than Carnus Daye could ever be, no offense Daye.
Gith Ranay: "Hold it right there, Ewoks! This smells awfully suspicious. Are you sure you aren't Sith just pretending to be Ewoks so you can get a free pass out of this hairy situation? Or should I say, furry...."
Kenth Cogma: "Oh Ranay, don't be so paranoid. Everything is just fine. In fact, I am not even a Jedi at all, I am indeed......"
"Princess Renata, the next ruler of the Ewok Kingdom! Bow before mighty Ewok royalty, feeble peasants!"
Gith Ranay: "Your grace! I bow humbly before thee, o mighty ruler of rulers!"
With that, the Third Ewok from the Left removed his realistic "Gith Ranay" mask that he bought on eBay for the low, low price of only 12 easy payments of 1,995 Republic Dataries.
Bane Anded: "This is impossible! I can't believe it.... all you friendly little furballs, somehow surviving this incredibly violent and completely fourth-wall shattering game. The Ewoks have all survived! And now it is Christmas Eve! Could it be.... could it be....? Could this be the Merriest Ewok Christmas Ever?"
Ewok Princess: "It's true, Grandmaster Anded! We have killed off the wicked Sith of the West and now you can tap your heels together three times and wish us back to our home, on the forest moon of Endor."
Bane Anded: "I've got something better in mind for you, my little furry friends. For I am not Bane Anded at all!"
Ewok Claus: "HO HO HO, MERRY CHRISTMAS, LITTLE ONES! I am glad that we all survived the terrible tragedy on board this vessel. I knew we could do it, if we worked together! Now, it is time for your Christmas presents to be handed out..... ah ah ah, don't open them until Christmas morning! And no peeking!"

Suddenly, the Force Ghost of Nomi Sunrider appeared before them all.
The baby Ewok princess shrieked and hid her face from the glowing figure.
Nomi Sunrider: "Jedi Grandmaster Ewok Claus, I hereby crown you king of all the Ewoks, and would like to offer you enough Republic credits to pay all your ewok toy-makers for another thousand years. Also, please accept this gift certificate for a free meal at Bennigans! Merry Christmas, my little furries!"
Ewok Claus: "Yub yub!"
Ewok Princess: "Nub nub!"
Captain of the Ewok guard: "Lub lub!"
Third Ewok from the left: "Jub Jub!"
Tarzanius Ewok: "Wok Wok!" *yells like Tarzan*

Chaotix - Ewok Claus, the King of the Ewoks

Master Kenth Cogma was patrolling the halls, when suddenly, a cloaked figure approached him, and ignited a lime green saber, holding it in the Makashi form
Cogma responded by igniting his dark blue saber and holding it in the Soresu form.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...r_darkblue.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...rs/Makashi.png
The two combatants meditated for a moment, and then clashed sabers. Cogma held his ground, and the advantage. He was clearly a superior swordsman than his attacker. But the assassin reached deeper into the Force, and unleashed Force Valor, doubling the assassin's accuracy and strength. For a time, the assassin was able to keep up with Cogma, and they were evenly matched. However, Cogma was able to anticipate the assassin's movements through precognition. Cogma still held the advantage.
The assassin responded by unleashing a second lightsaber, wielding the twin blades in the advanced Niman form.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png
Kenth Cogma responded by reaching deep into the Force, and releasing a Force Whirlwind.
The cyclone gripped the assassin and lifted him up in the air, spinning him around and around, and then tossed him into a pile of scrap metal, allowing Cogma to escape.
Master Gith Ranay was returning to his quarters, when out of nowhere, a cloaked figure attacked him with a dark blue saber held in the Soresu style.
Reacting instinctively, Ranay unleashed a Force Whirlwind, tossing the attacker down the corridor and out of sight, allowing Ranay to escape unharmed.
Turning around, he noticed a second cloaked figure attacking him, this one with a lime green double-lightsaber, held in the advanced Juyo style. and he unleashed another Force Whirlwind, tossing the attacker down the corridor and out of sight as well.
Gith Ranay: "Did anyone just feel a draft?"
Master Carnus Daye was sitting peacefully in the Hangar Bay, meditating, when he was approached on two sides by a pair of cloaked figures.
Reacting quickly, Daye stood and ignited his dark blue saber. He used a quick Force Push to knock both of his attackers down and tried to escape.
The first assassin unleashed a deadly Force Storm, hitting Daye in the back, throwing him against the wall. As he tried to get up, he felt his mind spinning and his life being drained from him, as the entire deck seemed to darken, and the Penance was surrounded by a massive Force Maelstrom.
Daye quickly hurled both of his lightsabers into the air, attempting to destroy the second assassin, who was draining the Force from him. The lightsabers clattered to the deck, as Daye's telekinetic lightsaber maneuver failed to function.
As he began to lose consciousness, he was hit with another blast of intense lightning from the first assassin, who continued the massive Force Storm until Daye's body was torn apart by the blast. There was nothing left of him.
When the first assassin looked up, the second assassin was gone.
Master Kenth Cogma was nearly to his quarters, when he was approached by a cloaked figure.
Kenth Cogma: "So, you've come to kill me. You don't really think you'll get out of this alive, do you?"
Unknown: "I intend to."
With that, Kenth Cogma unleashed a flash of dark energy, attempting to suppress the force powers of his attacker.
Unknown: "I have become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, Darth. That little trick isn't going to work."
Kenth Cogma: "If you think you are more powerful than I, you're gravely mistaken."
Reaching deep into the Force, Kenth Cogma unleashed another cyclonic blast of the Force, attempting to trap the assassin inside swirling chaos. The whirlwind lifted the attacker up off of the ground, spinning it around and around, slamming the being into the ceiling, the deck, the walls, and any debris caught in its wake. Dropping the facade of his Jedi persona, Kenth Cogma spoke to the assassin in a booming, malevolent voice.
Darth Khaan: "You miserable weakling! You could never become as powerful as I am. I could crush you and this entire ship at any time! I have the power to kill you with a single thought, just by staring at you and concentrating! I could cause your pathetic body to burst into flames! I could pull the soul straight out of your body! I could fry you with force lightning, or blow you apart with one powerful blast! You are no threat to me, don't you know who I am? I am your executioner, you festering sack of rotting bantha flesh!"
Darth Khaan hurled the attacker against a nearby wall, and ignited both of his crimson lightsabers to finish off the assassin, held in the Makashi style.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaber_red.png
The assassin stood, having finished charging up the required dark energy.
Unknown: "I disagree."
With that, the assassin began screaming victoriously, generating a massive sonic blast which hurled Darth Khaan against the outer bulkhead. The assassin lifted up both hands, and began focusing this dark energy into a terrible beam of unimaginably destructive power. Within seconds, the assassin unleashed the full fury of Force Destruction against the Dark Lord of the Sith, ripping the body of the Dark Lord apart, and blasting the remains clear into space.
The deck began to decompress, but almost instantly, the structural integrity force fields engaged, keeping the assassin from being blown out into space as well.
The dark assassin left the scene, laughing hysterically.

Bane Anded noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote. A few of the Force Ghosts also showed up, and made their accusations.
"Have we reached a verdict?" Anded asked.
The votes were counted.
"Yes we have, Grandmaster" said one of the Jedi.
"Who has been found guilty?"
"You have, your grace."
"......You can't be serious."
Ushi Makoth: "Don't look at me, I think it's Gith Ranay."
Gith Ranay: "I think it's obviously Ushi Makoth."
Va'ard Kypaz: "I don't trust you, Grandmaster Anded."
Sinadd No: "Indeed, you seem to have a death wish. Why aren't you at least trying to destroy the Sith?"
Ushi Makoth: "What are you saying? He's not trying to destroy the Sith?"
Gith Ranay: "Is this true, Grandmaster?"
Bane Anded's eyes darkened, and he smirked at the remaining Jedi.
Bane Anded: "Why throw a Sith out into space? That seems like such an unfitting end to a riveting tale."
Sio Eroseeth: "What? What are you saying? This isn't a game, Anded! Their lives are at stake!"
Bane Anded: "I simply prefer to do things my own way.... I don't believe in Nomi Sunrider's way. It is not my way. This.... system of justice.... it isn't just. It never was. It's nothing more than a lynch mob. The slow, painful deaths.... cruel and unusual punishment. And for what? Why are we executing our own people?"
Va'ard Kypaz: "There are murderers among us, Bane! You've seen what they've done to us!"
Bane Anded: "So we would murder our murderers, and anyone else who might stand in our way? That would make us better than them, I am sure. We are better because we have a different philosophy. We deny ourselves the Dark Side. They do not. So, these are not fair trials based on the shared goal of justice, but instead, politically-motivated lynch killings. That is not the way of the Light Side of the Force. The shadow of hypocrisy, that is...."
Ushi Makoth: "What is your perfect solution then, Bane? What is your better method?"
Bane Anded: "I never claimed to have a perfect solution. I also never said I had a better method. But, I will not lie and suggest that our methods are superior.... and that we are inherently better than the Sith. Simply because we have an inconsistent ideology that makes us feel better, and they remain consistently ruthless; that does not mean we are better than they. The Sith and the Jedi, from my point of view, are similar in almost every way. They both crave power.... but one side seeks to use that power, to wield it unashamedly, without apology. The other side seeks to suppress and deny to themselves their own feelings; to live a lie. To deny half of the Force because of some ancient superstitions and strange views on morality, to uphold some hypocritical, inconsistent viewpoint, to grandstand about good and evil, when there is no such thing. There is no good, there is no evil, there is only power. There is no Light Side and no Dark Side, there is only the Force. Through control of the Force, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall set me free."
Ushi Makoth gripped her lightsabers. Gith Ranay did the same.
Ushi Makoth: "YOU.... you're one of them, Bane! I can feel the Dark Side in you!"
Gith Ranay: "It's true, I can feel the Dark Side.... it is palpable."
Bane Anded: "Put those things away, before you hurt yourselves."
Ushi Makoth: "No, Bane! The fallen Jedi have spoken. They believe it is you, and that it has always been you, all along. You're either Sith or you're working with the Sith to destroy the Order!"
Bane Anded: "Oh, it is not I who has destroyed the Jedi Order. You have done that yourselves. You fools couldn't have brought down the Sith without me. It was I who murdered Darth Fermanagh, and put that miserable worm to death a second time. It was I who killed Darth Sigurd. It was I who killed Darth Khaan. It was I who led you to Darth Kojiro. And you couldn't possibly eliminate the final Sith without me.... you need me. You need my POWER. And now you think you can just use me like a weapon, and then discard me when you're done?
Don't you realize who the :daisy: I am?"

Bane Anded: "I am the Light Side of the Force. But I am also the Dark Side. They are one and the same.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:"The ancient superstition that tells us we should deny ourselves the Dark Side... it is motivated by fear and ignorance. Don't you all realize that the Dark Side merely represents power.... just as the Light Side of the Force represents a different kind of power? You have tapped into that power.... that fear, that desire for justice, the feelings of sorrow when your friends have died, those feelings of anger toward their murderers.... it's all part of the Dark Side, which you pretend to deny yourselves. Why not use that power to motivate positive change? Why deny yourselves this power?"
Ushi Makoth: "The Dark Side has twisted and corrupted you, Bane. I can see clearly now that power has made you go insane. You're a threat to us all...."
Gith Ranay: "You were never interested in destroying the Sith, were you Bane? Those were all lies! You just wanted power!"
Bane Anded: "Unlimited power! Power unleashed from the shackles of Jedi prudishness. Power unrestrained by the cynical view of the Sith. I have shown you that the Dark Side can be used for good, and the Light Side can be used for evil. You would seek to deny power to those with a differing point of view, all without realizing that good is also a point of view. I should have known all along that all the Jedi care about is power, and denying that power to themselves and others. You're nothing but a pack of ancient, religious zealots. And the Sith, all they care about is power, and denying that power to the Jedi, while also embracing a narrow point of view that denies the Light Side of the Force. They are no better. This has been nothing but a religious war since the start. And this farce of a trial has been nothing more than an Inquisition!
Yes, I've killed Jedi. I've killed Sith. What's the difference? You both have put Jedi and Sith to death. There is no difference between us. Or should I say almost no difference. I am not going to stand here and deny myself the Force; I see through the lies of the Jedi. And I bow before no master but the Force, and I will not be manipulated into serving only the Dark Side. And I will know a power greater than that of any Jedi.... or any Sith. I have become the most powerful Jedi ever. I even know how to save people from dying.... I hold life and death in my very hands.... I have become ONE with the Force."
Ushi Makoth: "I cannot allow the Jedi Order to be commanded by a power-craving madman. This is the end for you, my Master."
Bane Anded: "Oh really? Then I take it back. I was perfectly content to remain neutral and let you decide amongst yourselves, but if you think you can kill me and become Grandmaster of the Order, then you are a threat to me. So I have changed my mind.... I am not going to abstain or even vote for myself... I vote that we destroy YOU, Makoth."
unvote, vote: Ushi Makoth
Gith Ranay: "......I don't trust you, Bane, but I think you've killed enough Sith. I don't think you're one of them. I think you've been trying to help us in your own way. And I cannot face the Sith without your help. Let us both destroy the Sith!"
Ushi Makoth: "WHAT? Ranay, he just stood there and told us how wrong the Jedi Order was, and how wonderful the Dark Side is, and how powerful he's become! You are making a very big mistake! A very, very big mistake!"
Gith Ranay: "You attacked me last night.... he did not. That was your mistake. Now, are you going to go quietly, or do we have to take you down by force?"
Ushi Makoth: "This, again? I thought we already went over this. I am not a Sith...."
Bane Anded: "I don't care if you are, or you are not. I am the Grandmaster, and I won't allow you to take away my power."
Gith Ranay: "I, on the other hand, do think you are a Sith, Makoth. Show us who you really are."

Darth Abnoba: "Curse you, Bane.... we could have destroyed the Jedi Order together.... we could have ruled the galaxy.... but once again, you side with those pathetic little insects. The only thing standing between you and real power is that stupid goat Ranay. Dispose of him, and be done with it. If you want real power, this is the only way. It is useless to resist. Don't make me destroy you....."
Bane Anded: "I don't need the help of a Sith. I could have joined you, yes.... but I am not willing to submit to you. I am far more powerful than you could ever hope to be. You think you could be my Master? You're not even a Sith Lord. And I know how the Sith regard the Dark Jedi.... just as the Jedi have demonstrated on this ship. I am nothing but a pawn to you, a tool that you can use and be done with. You seek to wield my power, and then dispose of me when you don't need me anymore. It is that same arrogance that blinds the Jedi that I sense in you. Talk about unwarranted self-importance. That was your final mistake."
With that, Bane Anded's eyes began to glow.... and he concentrated on the young Sith Apprentice.
She felt pain.... terrible pain....
Her clothes burst into flames, as she began screaming in horror and agony. She tried to run away, but Bane Anded simply lifted the Sith in the air, preventing it from moving away. Her burning body struggled, but soon went limp and lifeless. The charred remains dropped to the deck, and Darth Abnoba was no more.
Gith Ranay just stood there in shock.

Premise
After Sigurd's game, which was certainly innovative and fun and popular enough to be in the running for Game of the Year, it got me thinking about the Star Wars game I wanted to host, and how lame it was in comparison.
I actually ended up using my idea for Star Wars for my Star Fox: Lylat Wars game, which was to have the Emperor Palpatine (Andross, in this case) embedded among the Separatists, with a goal to destroy all Loyalists and all the Separatists. As you might remember, this turned into Andross being embedded among the Star Wolf team, attempting to use them as puppets and destroy them at the final moment. Should the Wolf team outlive Andross, they would become true mafia, and have the goal of ruling the Cornerian system for themselves. Instead, they had a chance to win with the Cornerians/neutrals, as long as they achieved their personal goals.
When Sigurd's Star Wars game was done, he was met with enormous praise for his exceptional work, and some criticisms of the game setup. Whether the criticisms were fair or not, it was agreed that the outcome of the game was basically forced to be a showdown between a Jedi Grandmaster and two Sith, and unless the Sith were not very powerful, the Grandmaster would lose, and the Master Sith would probably defeat the Apprentice Sith and become the sole winner of the game. Some didn't like that system as much, and felt that the game was less a mafia game and more like a battle royale. As awesome as that game was, the Jedi felt like there needed to be a way to break the cycle of infinite recruitment; or at the very least, be able to destroy the Master and the Apprentice in rapid succession to stop them from continuing to recruit Jedi. When he offered to let someone see his game files, images, and so forth, I eagerly volunteered. He also allowed for someone to use them if they wanted to, and I asked if I could make a sequel. I took some of the honest feedback from the other players and began from square one. I had already used my previous idea for the Lylat game, so I wanted to accomplish two things.
1. Do a service to the original game, and not alter too much of what everyone found awesome about it.
2. Make the game just as unpredictable and fun as the first, even though the basic premise has been done before.
I liked the idea of the Rule of Two, and because it was based in canon Star Wars information, I left that in; A Master, and an Apprentice. The master could recruit a new apprentice, and the apprentice could replace the fallen Master and recruit another apprentice. What I changed was, I didn't make everyone susceptible to recruitment, based on feedback from the previous game. I also didn't make recruitment random or automatic, based on that same feedback. I felt that system worked great for what Sigurd was trying to accomplish; in this game, I wanted to try out a different system.
Dark One
But I did like the idea of a Sith Mastermind, in the same vein as Palpatine... a dark puppetmaster in the shadows, controlling everyone and everything while at the same time pretending to be a model Jedi.... concealed by an illusion so powerful, only a Grandmaster could conclusively determine they were Sith. This Mastermind would be the most powerful Sith of all time.... a Dark Force capable of keeping the Sith from extinction, and using them as his puppets without their knowledge. He would be nearly unbeatable in one-on-one combat, and could nearly defeat the entire Jedi Order by himself.
Obviously, the Sith are not a unified force. There is already a Rule of Two. But this Sith would be the Rule of One.... an ancient Dark Lord, centuries old, with the goal of raising an army and overthrowing the Republic, using the Sith as his pawns, so that he could conquer the entire galaxy, and become strong enough with the Dark Side to become immortal, and maintain everlasting and eternal domination over all other beings. This Sith would destroy the Jedi utterly, and wipe away all of history, so that there would never be any knowledge of the Jedi, or the Light Side of the Force. This Sith would crush everyone who stands in his way, and spread propaganda which would convince generations upon generations of sentient beings to believe that he is the Creator and the Destroyer of worlds, a God incarnate, the ultimate judge and the purest force of Good in the galaxy.
In time, he would be worshiped as a God and given anything that he wanted, which was total, undisputed power over everyone and everything in the Universe. Immune to death, protected by the Force, and utterly unstoppable, even by armies and battleships, this Sith would become the Dark Lord of the Universe... the One Sith to rule them all, pardon the pun. What could I possibly name this Dark Lord besides Darth Kojiro, honestly? It's the only name which fits.
Such a powerful being needs a counterweight. The Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, the most powerful representative of the Light Side of the Force, could indeed destroy this Dark One. The Grandmaster would learn ways to counter the Dark Side, and penetrate his cloak. Near-unbeatable in combat, the Grandmaster would also be able to develop specific attacks and defenses which could counter the dark side powers that a Dark Lord of the Sith could use. However, to be fair, since the Grandmaster also has the Jedi Council and legions of Padawans and Initiates at his or her disposal, the Grandmaster must start with significantly less power than the Dark Lord, and must be forced to learn over time the techniques that can be used to destroy it.
However, the Jedi Council itself is numerous, and just barely powerful enough to bring the Dark One to justice, if they are clairvoyant enough to determine who this Dark One is, and repeatedly attempt to destroy this being. On the second attempt, the Dark One will be overcome by their numbers, and defeated. So a strong Grandmaster is not necessary to counter this Dark One.
Sith Lords
The Sith Lords..... the Rule of Two. They would also be able to counter this Dark Lord's power. The Sith Lord (Darth Sigurd) and his apprentice would have access to 5 out of 6 types of Dark Side attacks, the Sith Lord would have access to tier III powers and the apprentice would have access to tier II powers. They would eventually both be able to attack twice, giving them up to 4 different powerful attacks in a given night, and so together, they were indeed more powerful than the Dark One. They could have penetrated Kojiro's cloak and defeated him with a single shot, but 4 different powerful attacks at the same time? Odds were against Kojiro surviving such an assault. And so, if the Sith Lords discovered who Kojiro was, they could have destroyed him themselves.
Jedi Order
So the Grandmaster, the Normal Jedi, and the Sith Lords were all able to counter Kojiro. But there was another faction.... a far weaker faction. In this game, I wanted there to be an alignment system that was more nuanced than the previous game. In the last game, only the Jedi Grandmaster couldn't be converted. Everyone else was susceptible. I felt it was more realistic for actions and events to affect alignment, such that a Jedi can become stronger with the Light Side, or stronger with the Dark Side.
If a Jedi fell far enough to the Dark Side, they would have used forbidden powers or broken the Jedi Code in such a way that they would normally be expelled from the Jedi Order. The Dark Side would be so tempting that it would be difficult to turn back to the light side, but not impossible. When a Jedi falls to the Dark Side, they become neutral, and their goal then becomes either to survive the game, return to the light side so they can be redeemed, or become a Sith and win with the Sith. When a Jedi falls to the Dark Side, they become capable of learning more and more Dark Side powers. Using these powers can push you even further to the Dark Side. Dishonorable or evil acts can also cause one to fall to the Dark Side. Heroic and selfless acts, or proper teachings, can turn someone back from the Dark Side. The only ones who couldn't be redeemed were the Sith.
Fallen Jedi
Generally all alone, and not as strong with the light or dark sides as other Jedi/Sith, the Dark Jedi were the weakest "faction" in the game. They were either a neutral vigilante with a survival goal and a way to win with the Jedi, or a serial killer bent on destruction of the Jedi, depending on your point of view. But they, too, had a path to power which could allow them to destroy the Sith (or the Jedi).
Dark Side powers are generally stronger offensively in this game. A Dark Side Jedi can feed on its own dark side powers, and become stronger and stronger with the Dark Side. The further they fall, the more powerful they become. They will start to learn Dark Side powers every single night, and eventually learn nothing but Dark Side powers, if they live long enough.
Through this, it was possible for some Jedi to fall completely to the Dark Side, and destroy the Sith using their own Dark Side powers. Then, if they chose, they could win with the Jedi Order, and be forgiven for their fall to the Dark Side, because they used it in defense of the Republic, and of their fellow Jedi, and a path toward redemption was discovered. Perhaps, with a Dark Jedi Grandmaster, the Jedi Order could become enlightened enough to use the Dark Side for knowledge and defense, and not for evil. They could learn to control it. And therefore, the Jedi and the Dark Jedi would become essentially one. Falling to the Dark Side left one vulnerable to the temptations of the Sith. They could easily be turned to serve the Sith.
Bane of the Dark Side
Realizing that no one began the game as a Neutral Jedi, and also realizing it was entirely possible for most of the game to go by without anyone becoming Dark Jedi, I didn't want a Dark Jedi faction to be a weakling afterthought. I wanted the Dark Jedi to have a chance, even a slim one, to win.
So, I wanted to have a Neutral Jedi right from the start. Here are the issues with that:
1. A neutral Jedi has a survival goal. It's unlikely to survive 66 other players, without executing some kind of.... order.... involving the number sixty-something. Therefore, this Jedi can't be a total weakling, for starters.
2. This Neutral Jedi would become overpowered if they learned Dark Side powers too quickly. Therefore, their alignment needed to be further "light side" at the start than normal.
3. It needed to be possible for this Neutral to go fully light side, so they can win even in death.
4. It needed to be possible for this Neutral to become a Sith, so they can win that way as well.
5. This Neutral needed to scan as not strong with the Dark Side, at least at first, so they wouldn't be mistaken for a Sith and lynched early. That's just unfair.
6. This Neutral needed a way to gain dark side points and eliminate rivals. Thus, this neutral needed to be a vigilante.
For balancing purposes, I made this Neutral naturally resistant to the influence of the Sith, so that this anomaly wouldn't simply be absorbed into the Sith Order, and forgotten/have no impact on the game. So, only a tier II conversion would be able to turn this one into a Sith, no matter how powerful he became with the Dark Side.
In this way, this outsider.... this rogue Jedi, could become a powerful assassin, working to save the Jedi Order.... working, perhaps, to destroy the Sith. He certainly wants to be independent, and does not want to be Sith. They would have to prove how much more powerful they were than him, in order to secure his reluctant loyalty. Thus, Bane was created. The Dark knight of the Jedi order, their most powerful weapon besides the Grandmaster.
Should Bane fall all the way to the Dark Side, he would gain Dark Side Mastery and become almost like a Grandmaster himself, and be able to learn 5 dark side powers per night until maximum. Then he would truly be deadly. And, just like the Sith, if he should ever become Grandmaster, then he will be able to learn his Dark Side powers from the Sith holocron data contained in the Jedi Holocron, and the Light Side Powers contained within the Jedi Holocron. However, given the unique nature of this character, he would be effectively a Sith Grandmaster and a Jedi Grandmaster combined; with Dark Side Mastery and Light Side Grandmaster-level powers, he would have the potential to be the most powerful Jedi ever.
It took a long time, but Bane Anded was able to attain Dark Side Mastery, and he also became Grandmaster of the Order. As he was now the most powerful Jedi in history, he was granted the title "Supreme Grandmaster", and sought to re-make the Jedi Order in his own image.... abandoning much of the rigid Jedi Code, and teaching of the power of the Dark Side, even more openly than Nomi Sunrider ever did.
He was able to win utterly with any others like him, the Dark Jedi. He was also able to win with the Sith, in a major victory, not quite as satisfying but still crushing. He could also win with the Jedi, if the Sith got stomped to death too soon. He could also decide to go for the solo victory anyway, if the Sith were all destroyed. And thus, Bane had a chance of winning even though he loses if he dies, and began with such a large handicap.
Now, we had a game on our hands.

At about this point, massive counter bandwagon on Raskolnikov happens, to tie it up. Actually Raskol goes into the lead for a while. But it ends in a duel.
Raskolnikov: (7) Renata, ACIN, dcmort93, Yaseikhaan, ByzKnight, Ignoramus, pevergreen
pevergreen: (7) Autolycus, Choxorn, Diana Abnoba, Belisarius II, Winston Hughes, Raskolnikov, Sprig
DUEL:
pevergreen is a Jedi Master with no boosting abilities.
Raskolnikov is a Jedi Initiate, but is insanely powerful and innately talented with the lightsaber. He has no less than two ranks of boosted saber talent, pushing him up to the rank of Knight.
Battle meditation- boosts stamina and strength (lightsaber passive +1)
Force Valor- Adds 1 level to lightsaber combat and wins drawn force battles.
If Raskol had become a Padawan and advanced to Knight, he would have been as skilled as a Grandmaster with the blade. This would have happened by night 10, but this was not to be.
pevergreen barely defeats the initiate due to still-superior rank, and also the fact that as an Initiate, Raskol had no saber form and thus pevergreen had an inherent +1 advantage against him. Just as a Padawan with virtually any saber form, Raskol would have tied pevergreen and the duel would have ended in a draw. Also possible; Raskol wins the duel outright with the correct saber form.
Would have made pever poop his pants, I'm sure, to have lost to such a novice. But he wins the day, and Raskol goes down.
At this point, everyone knows that pevergreen is of better skill than a novice, and is thus one of the highest ranked people in the game, making him an early Sith target. Not a good start for the Jedi.... just flat out lynching Raskol would have been superior.
Day Two Commentary: Random wagon!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:As Sasaki has done in the past (like claiming detective in an early mafia game, to keep the real detective safe) Sasaki makes himself a target on purpose, because his original role was basically a worthless Initiate. Potentially powerful, but presently powerless.Quote:
Originally Posted by Sasaki KojiroYou can congratulate me for killing beskar.
A smart tactic, as it predictably fools the Sith, and these are good players. I honestly don't know why ANYONE believes a word Sasaki says, ever. I really hope that I would have scoffed at this claim, I tend to think he's always lying to me for some purpose, or even for no purpose. I think he just likes it, frankly. And frankly, I do this kind of stuff all the time too, so... I understand it.
This is a game of information and misinformation. Townies should really take their cues from Sasaki on this stuff; I certainly have. I outright admit to lying all the time as a townie. It makes blending in as mafia easier too, if you're ever caught lying. The only downside is the "cry wolf" effect, but frankly I don't care until people start treating my claims like the bogusness that they are half of the time.
Renata, Seon, Diamondeye, Tincow, and Psychonaut and Kagemusha IIRC all fell for this nonsense. These are not silly players, these are all players who should be admired and feared, taken in by Sasaki and his lies.
I wanted to see if anyone could guess, and make themselves famous.Quote:
Originally Posted by AskthepizzaguyI dare someone to use their win the game ability now. Who are the Sith?
No takers? You're no fun.
Autolycus is ranked 26th or so, and is basically an untrained Initiate still. But his vote doesn't prompt a reaction from Autolycus, so it is still a good vote.Quote:

Until then, I'll Vote: Andres, he claimed to be the Muffin Man loony, right?" I'd might be a role block, but the way I see it we can't have a crazy person like this running around without putting some scrutiny on him. And why so openly claim it?
Forgot his coffee that morning?
Andres soft claims to be powerful, but, you just know this isn't serious.Quote:
Originally Posted by AndresNothing. Entertaining is serious business, btw.

It's a pretty boring ability compared to my awesome powers.
Free info for the Sith? Meh, not sure it is wise.
TC has a point. Sadly, Joooray is presently the 4th ranked Jedi. I am not sure lynching him is wise, though due to the promotion system it isn't exactly game losing either.Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowYou're voting for Andres because you think he didn't kill someone last night? That makes no sense at all.
Vote: Joooray
TC sort of redeems himself here by pointing out how silly Sasaki's claims are. And he uses the force to predict that DE is innocent.Quote:

First of many replacements. Flax is on a trip, and MRD signed up for the game in the assembly yard but never for when the game started; probably busy, so I give it to Slysnake who got omgwthpwned right away.Quote:

Our top-ranked Jedi votes for the deceptive Sasaki. Neither Sasaki nor Double A are worth voting for, but at least no Masters, Knights, or Padawans die if they get lynched.Quote:

I do believe, however, that Double A is acting scummy, and I'm tilting towards voting him instead.
So anyway, for basically no reason Double A gets lynched.
Double A - (God Emperor, classical_hero, Frozen in Ice, Cute Wolf, Sasaki Kojiro, Tincow, Renata, Ibn-Khaldun, Diamondeye, robbiecon, Yaseikhaan)
Sadly, Double A was one of the 7 super-light-side starting Jedi. These were the ones who could make mistakes with vigilante kills and there would have to be a lot of them to cause a fall to the dark side.
These are not susceptible to being turned into Sith except through Mind Control, a power no one had yet.
This one was a mistake, as are most of the early game lynches.
I do not understand what these large bandwagons were all about. It makes it very difficult to reverse them, and once they get started, unless you picked a Sith, the Sith are in virtually zero danger.
You never want to give the Sith breathing room. Pressure is applied when they have to watch the game thread like a hawk, when there are only between 1 and 5 votes for someone. Once the wagon runs away, the Sith can take a nap. They barely need to comment, and they don't have to worry about their partners or themselves.
If the suspected gives a defense worth changing your mind, how do you suddenly reverse a huge wagon in the last couple hours of the round? You can't. You shoot yourself in the foot with large wagons.
Words of Wisdom: NO HUGE WAGONS.
When you make your choice, make sure the Sith cannot affect the tally, and put 3-4 additional votes on the lynchee, to make it impossible for the mafia to escape their fate. But otherwise, let the vote tally be close, in my opinion.
Let's say there are 5 votes on a Sith, and they are the lead candidate. Well that makes it awfully tempting for them to try to save their partner, as it isn't a foregone conclusion that their partner is dead. Perhaps they are successful in reversing that wagon, but later on, it is still determined that their partner was guilty.
Don't they look guilty now, too?
You close off a lot of tactical options when you create massive wagons.
Massive wagon = fail.
That's the bottom line. You can quote me on that.
Day Three Commentary: Random counter-wagon!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Diana being quiet always has more to do with lack of time than her alignment. I know, because I've seen her be active as mafia, and quiet as town, and vice-versa. It always has to do with free time or lack thereof.Quote:

Meanwhile, vote: pevergreen
Raskolnikov tries hard, and misses hard.
None of these people are guilty, and pevergreen is the worst lynch of them all.
By now, there's a massive Sasaki wagon. No idea why.
Two people know Sasaki is innocent by now. So, Rebel Jeb (perhaps unwisely) sticks his neck out for the initiate Sasaki.Quote:

Second Place:
Yaropolk (5) - Csargo, Sasaki, Beefy187, ByzantineKnight, Ibn-Khaldun

Mass counter wagon on Yaropolk for no other real reason than: your massive wagon on Sasaki left no other choice.

First Place:
Yaropolk (13) - Csargo, Sasaki, Beefy187, ByzantineKnight, Ibn-Khaldun, Romanic, Rebel Jeb, Frozen in Ice, Diamondeye, Chaotix, Choxorn, Cecil XIX, Yaseikhaan
Second Place:
Sasaki (8) Sigurd, Ignoramus, Ironside, Kagemusha, slysnake, Death is yonder, Diana Abnoba, Belisarius II
Yaropolk was a basic initiate, light side. One less non-recruitable down... not a great choice. You didn't leave yourselves much of a choice. There was a vote on Kagemusha... you don't always have to go for the number two choice when counter wagoning.
No one wanted to wagon the basically-proven-innocent Andres' suspect? Poor Andres. So brilliant. So ignored.

And he probably would kick butt in other games if his sudden additional contributions didn't get him killed right away. :PQuote:

And this is why real, thoughtful analysis wins games. It's based in logic.
Why is it bull spit? Because Kagemusha is acting like he doesn't know better, but he knows better. That indicates lies, which indicates scum.
Tincow's alarm goes off, he wins the thread.
Oh, and Andres mentions him too. Didn't articulate why as much as Tincow did.Quote:

Chaotix is giving reasons. No one is really sure about dcmort, not even people voting for him. Meanwhile, Kagemusha reeks of scum to half a dozen people.Quote:

dcmort's post, as soon as I saw it (and I read the thread from the beginning of the day phase) struck me as very scummy.

While I wouldn't go so far as to vote for Andres, I do agree that we need to keep an eye on him and can't just give him a free pass because he's acting silly. I find one of the best ways to deflect serious attention is by acting silly.
So..
Unvote, Vote: dcmort
You may be able to change my mind.

So it looks like Kage escapes. And then:
Rebel Jeb's reading of the intentionally ambiguous Investigation IV- Force Persuasion results tells him that Tincow is Dark Side and recruitable.Quote:

I recommend that Andres, whom he seemed to defend, is one also. Somebody protect me tonight, and I'll scan him to check. If not, I'll be dead, and I'd recommend lynching him anyways.
Umm...yeah. Carry on sirs.
This means he's jedi, and not recruited yet. However, a recruitable is okay to lynch if you have no one better. That limits the Sith team's potential recruits in the endgame.
But better than a potential recruit was the big Kahuna, Kagemusha himself. Like a thousand billion times better.
And this is why relying on investigation results is bad for the town. It stops all debate, discussion, and rational thought. And, it lets every single bad guy in the game know EXACTLY what to do in order to avoid being lynched, which is: follow the town in whatever they do, en masse.
It relieves all pressure that would otherwise have been applied to Kagemusha, or others.
So, peoples, do you agree with my premise that investigators aren't all they're cracked up to be? Even when they're correct, they still kinda suck. And Tincow was having a blasty blast with this game, and almost took down the main Sith guy, and now he's dead.
I hate investigators. There are just.... so many reasons why. They actually weakened the town's game here, in demonstrable fashion. Even when they're right, they're still so cheap.
1 massive wagon on TinCow later... (all real discussion stops at this point)
It truly is a no-brainer. Investigation results turn a once-thriving discussion and real pressure on the top Sith into an automatic dogpile on an initiate with no real powers.Quote:
Originally Posted by ChaotixUnvote, Vote: TinCow

Every Sith in the game has zero pressure on them now.
Is this a fair assessment? Would I have done any different? I probably would be right there in that wagon.
And yet, from a host's perspective, you can see more clearly, how crippling any investigation result is to a game of mafia, which is about psychology and bluffing and tactics and limited information. It becomes no longer about psychology and all about pressing the win button. Nothing to analyze, nothing to learn.
It contributes to the "dumbening" of the town for the duration of the round. What was once debate is now a lynch mob with no dissenting opinions. There is nothing to debate.
All Tincow can do is laugh it off. He's powerless to stop it, so he tosses in the towel and watches the fireworks.
I hate investigators. There, I said it again. I mean it, so much.
Tincow: (26) Rebel Jeb, Seon, Psychonaut, robbiecon, Andres, Renata, Csargo, Double A, YLC, ByzKnight, landlubber, Sprig, Nightbringer, Stuck in Pi, Beefy187, Joooray, Autolycus, Raskolnikov, Ibn-Khaldun, Ironside, Belisarius II, choxorn, Frozen in Ice, pevergreen, Chaotix, Ignoramus
So Tincow is lynched, 26 votes to three.
Who did Tincow end up voting for? His original case on Kagemusha. He left his vote right where it should have been. His dead fingers ended up pointing at Kagemusha, and when he was dead and he was proven innocent, the rage went on Rebel Jeb, who was simply doing his job as an investigator, which was reporting his findings.
The dead finger points at Kagemusha. The voice of reason is silenced, crushed under the weight of an investigator-induced failwagon. The dead finger of suspicion is ignored, innocent though it was.
Day Five: WHERE MY TOWNIES AT???
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Post 826: A thoughtful analysis by Tincow, correctly pointing out that Jeb's move was non-Sith. Sith don't do that.

Sorry, friend, but you have a tendency to get WoG'ed in these games. In your case, being active means there's something off.
Also, it has happened before that a role with investigative powers misinterpreted his investigation results, so I'd like to hear more from Rebel Jeb before voting him. After all, it wouldn't make sense for a Sith to expose himself so early in the game by claiming a pro-town role.
I'm more thinking along the lines of innocent+wrong interpretation of a dubious investigation result.
Keep your chin up, Iggy. It will get better.

With this rule, I made the call that Force Ghosts could be used to create pro-town networks.Quote:

Updated rule list just to make sure it's made plain there as well.
Why?
Because if they are treated as dead people who can't reveal stuff, or can't confirm things other people said, then what reasons can they give for voting?
If they can't say what they did while they were dead, but they just investigated someone... they would vote for them and say "look at my vote, follow it" and people would.
So, I have to treat them as living people who can PM and everything. And thus, I unintentionally created a pro-town network.
I groaned at this decision. I didn't like it. I didn't want it. But, it was the only way Force Ghost made any sense. Plus, it was the same as the previous game, Force Ghost didn't increase or decrease in power.
I had to gamble that my skills as a game host, the balancing of the game, plus the ambiguousness I added to the game, was enough to overcome a town win by brute force and informational advantages.
I still don't know, as of this writing, if I broke the game or not. The game is now half over and the Sith are doing okay. When the Master or the Grandmaster Sith dies, it also removes pevergreen from the game, which could end the influence of the pro-town network.
Is it balanced? 50 spinning plates in the air is hard to balance. This was worse.
Yes, he should. Sadly, there is basically no downside to this move, except that the town might blindly follow pevergreen and pevergreen could be wrong. But it does decrease his odds of being wrong.Quote:

"14 Ignoramus: Andres, Rebel Jeb, DE, Choxorn, Seon, Sigurd, Ironside, Sprig, Nightbringer, Khazaar, Zack, Sasaki, Belisarius II, God Emperor
6 YLC: Renata, Joooray, DIY, Jarema, BK, Csargo
1 Seon: Psychonaut"
Then people get the idea to make YLC and Iggy duel.
YLC correctly predicts he's mince meat in such a duel, and even if he won, he'd not be any less a suspect, and that he'd never be able to kill a Sith, so a duel does him absolutely zero good.
That said, I wanted to write moar duels. Me sad.
So, he makes dead certain there will be no tie at all. Of course, we still had 24 hours to wait before the round ended anyway...
So, we all had a laugh over how silly we were.
YLC, defiant as ever, broke the tie against Iggy blatantly, to say fleep you to the town for giving him such an opportunity. Silly gooses.Quote:

Psycho, sloppy man. If I were in the game I would have voted you for this post, I'm serious. Not because I know the answer, but because I reflexively vote this kind of behavior.
I actually thought "man that's scummy" and looked up and saw Psychonaut's name. That's the sequence of events here. That's when I laughed and told Psychonaut I would have totally voted him if I were playing. I shouldn't have done that either, so I stopped making such comments. Me and my big mouth.

Town or mafia, that's Diana. But it looks scummy to people when she does a flyby. They think she's not contributing. But this is what she contributes when there's a lot of people left alive. She could make a case on someone, but she thinks it will get ignored.

Well basic townies don't think it is obvious. Chaotix/neutral knows a bit more about the game than most. The obvious move is to get rid of any Sith murderers ASAP.
Look at all these other townies rejecting that solution as "too obvious".
What's his thought process and why is it different? Why is he telling the town what the obvious solutions are?
Telling townies what to do and what not to do = scummy.Quote:

His giant purple saber is practically falling out of his pants, throbbing at us, ready to fill us with purple glowing goodness. He can barely contain himself. He wants to shout from the rooftops how he is the purple saber guy, but that's his subconscious mind.
His conscious mind is saying "I'm not the purple saber guy".
And that's why there's a strange behavioral tic here. He's all over the writeup, and he KNOWS it was a purple vigilante, not a red Sith.
Why?
Because it's called purple information syndrome. Nobody's perfect. :D

Try it, because sarcasm is based on what YOU find funny or ironic. If you don't believe your lie is the truth, then you don't think sarcasm based on that lie is funny, because it's not funny to YOU, because you know what the real truth is.
Humor is an important weapon in mafia games. If the joke is off, that indicates there's something wrong with your sense of humor. Which means you're uptight, anxious, stressed, or lying.
Which means you're scum.
Here, the sarcasm works. It fits a relaxed but irritated psychological state. The sarcasm is quick, biting, and honest. That's townie. That's something you can take to the bank.
Try telling jokes about your lies, in a way that you find directly funny, not funny in a meta-sense. It's hard to tell a joke you find funny while lying, because it doesn't "ring true".
Jokes are serious business.
It's true, frankly.Quote:

Well, okay, I agree. Lynch the Sith.
When a mafioso is under no suspicion, they can lob townie-sounding things at will all day long. This is great because it provides reasons for a townie to reveal information to the sith, or die as a consequence of not doing so, and maybe they will die anyway.Quote:

And none of this "appears" scummy. But it is, because it blends in with classical standoffish townie scum-finding methods.
These are the kinds of behaviors mafia use when they're not under suspicion to STAY that way. It doesn't always indicate scum, but question people like this, put pressure on them. Don't say why. See how they react.
Make them feel a little heat. Just to make them nervous. Maybe they'll get panicky.
Sometimes townies who are in an unfamiliar forum and aren't big talkers and don't usually play such big games post whatever is on their mind. And, it's so off from the brainwaves of everyone else, it falsely triggers suspicion.Quote:

Maybe we have evolved to distrust outsiders, and this picks up in times of stress.
Maybe that's why when things go bad, minorities are blamed. /too much social commentary.
And this is why you shouldn't listen to Mafia.Quote:

Even if you don't believe me that I want to take revenge on whoever first nighted me, there are other things to consider:
The Rule of Two - There is currently only me and my Master. So if you don't believe what I am saying about another faction, you deprive my Master of recruiting some one else and you get to block a known sith, severely limiting my faction. (or don't block me, and allow me to hunt down the Sith who killed me in the first place)
It wasn't my Master who revived me - If it wasn't him, who else would revive a Sith? I place my bets that it wasn't a Jedi who revived me, so I leave that up to you to find out, As for the timing of the incident, my money is on Ignoramus.
It was Kagemusha, when Kage was feeling the pressure.
It worked, too.
He could have kept doing it. But Kage had no more pressure on him.
Beskar wasn't revived again. Why not?

Look at the delayed reaction.
See how much time it took for her to respond to criticism of her play style?
You could throw a wagon on her and she wouldn't know about it until it is too late, and her defense would also sound wrong to you, and she will die.
That's Diana. You gotta get to know her. This is who she is.
She's not at the computer except 1/50th of the day, if that much. 1/100th of every two days, maybe. That's why there's such a delay in reaction times. She's not lurking, she's NEVER THERE!

My original post was a commentary about how unsporting it was, but I thought better of it, because it is a game and I've tossed my life away as townie god knows enough times. Anything is a valid strategy in this game, except getting yourself killed as SK or neutral. Anything that could lead to your team winning is technically correct.Quote:

Episode III: Revenge of the Puns
MOAR LIGHTSABERZ EDITION
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Day Seven: What a waste of time.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Rebel Jeb, Andres, Sprig, and Beskar die. So many awesome players. I am really sad to see Rebel Jeb go this time, because he was such an awesome character and he was being useful and he was learning.
Andres because he's hilarious and he has bloodhound-like mafia senses.
Sprig because he's an excellent player, especially in the endgame. But he gets quiet when he dies, he's not used to being dead detective I guess.
Beskar because he was getting a chance to finally play the game. He died from Chaotix again!!
And now, Belisarius II becomes the Grandmaster of the Order. Let's see how he does.

This game will go down in history as the longest and most popular suspicion of a townie in a large game. It was even acted on with the lynch AND a duel, iirc. My my.

True. It just feels odd about him speciffically chosing a purple saber (since sith default seems to be red) at the first night. He probably have a decent power level and night attacks is a bit of rock, scissor, paper. Jedi knight Rebel Jeb got unlucky for example.
The options are "dark jedi" or a sith using purple saber on night one. A dark jedi might not need to kill as much as the sith and is laying low atm. Or is only using force power kills. Or if a sith, he could simply use other weapons as you said.

Well, that was wrong last time.
Taking bets on if it is wrong a second time, and for the same reason.
Remember, if you see bad, fail, wrong wrong wrong behavior, that's an uninformed townie. Playing badly is the most townie thing you can do. It almost proves you're not mafia.

I like how Sasaki's reaction to strange behavior is to immediately vote for it. So far, he's voted for Chaotix, and Kagemusha, and... who else?
He has a trigger happy style you just have to love. And it's pretty keen stuff too. Didn't he vote for the mafia on round 1 of the previous game, and said Niklas had some explaining to do?
Sometimes this stuff isn't luck, man.

Because a Sith wouldn't post that.

And... another Ignoramus wagon.
Another dozen reasonless wagon votes on either one.

Ignoramus would be a fine vote if it wasn't for Beskar's perpetual wish for having him lynched.
What does that tell you? If you don't follow the crowd, and the crowd is wrong, you have a chance of being much closer to the target.
Think of incredibly unhelpful behavior.Quote:

Don't bad guys like to do two things: Blend in, and look helpful?
When they're not being helpful, they're blending in. When they're not blending in, they're revealing their perfect information syndrome or they're lecturing townies about being better townies.
Townies, meanwhile, aren't voting, voting themselves to avoid a WOG, or voting for known townies, or they're revealing their special powers very early on for no reason, or they're finding other innocent townies guilty and they weren't about to be lynched.
Bad, unhelpful behavior is what townies do. It sticks out like a sore thumb, because it's soooooo bad that only a townie could do it.
When the whole town is doing the failwagon, even excellent players start to clam up and there's no need to bother with having an intelligent discussion.Quote:

Here, the reason for the repeated failures becomes apparent. Scanning twice wasn't actually why Joooray learned this, but because he scanned WHILE KILLING, so he KNEW that the scan was accurate.... which meant that he knew for a fact that "Dark Side" did NOT necessarily mean Sith.
Which was funny because (surprise!!) killing people turned him to the Dark Side and he wasn't Sith either.
Only now, at the end, do you understand....
This works to avoid suspicion for a while, but you can't survive the game like this. And, you could get vig killed for the heck of it.Quote:

But I suppose it's the fact that you could be so dead set on lynching me and so wrong at the same time. And the fact that townies follow you blindly without you even giving a case.
Usually even ATPG has to give something resembling a wall of text to get people to follow him.
Whenever there's an image of townies blindly following me to their doom, it's a scumbag saying it.
This is the equivalent of rolleyes.
See, when you have a huge wagon on one suspect, and a wagon on another, that limits your options.Quote:

Think about it for a minite. It's totally foolproof. How many people in the game are not Joooray? It can't be that many.
First Place:
Ignoramus: (21) Zack, Choxorn, Khazaar, Death is yonder, ByzantineKnight, Double A, Joooray, Ironside, Nictel, Seon, Jarema, Nightbringer, Link, WEW, Autolycus, Renata, Yaseikhaan, Chaotix, slysnake, Diana Abnoba, Frozen in ice,
Second Place:
Chaotix: (5) Sasaki, Beefy, God Emperor, robbiecon, Antikingwarmancake88
Third Place:
Joooray: (2) pevergreen, Ignoramus
remake20: (2) landlubber, Captain Blackadder
Fourth Place:
Link: (1) Csargo
Frozen: (1) Psychonaut
Sasaki Kojiro (1) Diamondeye
Cecil XIX (1) Yaropolk
Abstain: remake20 (vote not bolded)
And so, Ignoramus is finally lynched because he was not Joooray, because he was suspicious for the reason of he was interested in the game.
And he survived.
I lol'ed.
Day Nine: Read my lips..... No new suspects!
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Here, Joooray does what seems like a wise idea, which is openly admit to a vig kill.Quote:

It appears though that my action were in vain, as there seem to be not Sith kill tonight (though to possible Sith attacks), just people killing lurkers, like me. I was half expecting not to be attacked this night, either because the Sith feared I'd be protected or able to defend myself, or because they thought I'd be a good lynchbait this round. Still no attack on neither myself nor Iggy, both claimed Jedi Master, seems curious and I don't know if I can trust Iggy's claim, nor do I know what further I can do to proof that I'm not a threat to town.
I will, however, refrain from killing in the future and concentrate on investigation and protection.
But, the outrage over this move only makes things worse for him.

Lynch this clown already.
In fact the best way to remove the Sith is to block one until you find the other, and then kill them both at night and lynch any survivors.
Random vigs can bring you closer to that, but unless it is followed up by an equally successful random lynch/vig, they can recover.
It does at least show that one of Joooray's actions was being taken up.
Kagemusha doesn't want vigilantes running around. Revealed, his opinion is.Quote:

Is mind trick a defensive power? Since he seems to get two defense powers then.
Not seeing that part as obvious in the write up. Several of the sith attacks got "join me" or "only the dark side can fuel your victory" as part of the write up.
Vote: Joorey
Killing to prove your innocence isn't that good of a defense. And we don't know if sith can use a differently coloured saber for attack or not.
Neutrals want Joooray dead, because they lose when they die, so they don't like vigilantes.Quote:

He doesn't have to be a Sith to be Dark Side; rather he is probably some kind of unaffiliated dark Jedi now.
The write-up practically slams it in our faces, but nobody is voting for him. Why?
Vote: Joooray
Of course, Joooray is neutral. So they could have been allies instead of enemies.... but I don't think Chaotix realized, or if he did, he didn't care.
So far, three non-townies are going with the "OBVIOUS PRO-TOWN MOVE" of lynching the vigilante.
Why is that? Sense a pattern, do you?
Chaotix has been careful not to act too scummy with his kills. He wants to be able to explain his behavior as pro-town, especially now that he revealed to pever.Quote:
Originally Posted by Frozen In Icepever, when did the Mr. Purple Saber Man reveal to you? What name did he give for his character? I personally find it hard to trust him, but I am still uncertain. If we count all of the night actions conducted by someone using a purple saber he did the following:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Night 1 Kills Beskar
Night 2 None
Night 3 None
Night 4 Attacks Rebel Jeb and fails
Night 5 Attacks Dcmort
Night 6 Kills Beskar again
Night 7 Helps Kill Dcmort
Night 8 Kills Remake
All of these night actions can be plausibly explained as trying to help the town. On the power's side of things, he's used Form 3, 5, and 6, Mind Trick, and Force Push. I think having three forms means that he is pretty powerful, either a knight or a master. So if he claimed a name that lined up with a name promoted to one of these positions, then I would find it much more likely that he is pro-town. However, in most of his night actions, he is described as aggressive which doesn't help his claim. I guess in the end he seems pro-town like, but we still shouldn't put too much trust into him.
As for Jooray, his explanation fits but would also fit a Sith trying to escape being caught. I for one found the description of his battles quite Sith like, but there are a few things to note. First Ana states, "... then you are a Sith Lord" to which Jooray responds "Am I? Not quite, Ana..." I am going to hedge my bets and say this really is true, which does help Jooray's case. However, the way this is stated also makes it sound like he could be something similar...
Second, there aren't any other night kills that match what we know for sure about Jooray exactly. From the last two nights we know that Jooray has a blue lightsaber, knows Form 3, and can use Force Push/Wave and Force Lightning. Though only other kills that have any of the same traits are the following:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Night 1 Attack on Jacen Sky: Blue Saber, but Form 2 used
Night 2 Attack on Yogal Sec-barr: Force Lightning
Night 3 Attack on Sec-Sar Jor: Force Lightning
Looking at all of this put together, I find that I am more suspicious of Jooray until pever tells us more about Mr Purple Saber Man. Not sure what to think of Ignoramus.
Vote: Jooray
This is convincing even those he hasn't revealed to that he's townie.
Ignoramus' defense of himself becomes heroic at this point. How he still lives is beyond me, but it's pretty awesome.Quote:

I do not have Force Breath anymore - you've exhausted that, so you will finally get rid of me this time if you want.

You are beginning to realize that susceptible to the Dark Side means that they are not Sith yet.
When someone is not susceptible to the Dark Side, but the Dark Side is present, they are either Sith or highly resistant to the Dark Side.
So, yes my investigation results were misleading, but I wasn't aware of that, when I vig-killed dcmort.
He's trying to avoid becoming an hero.

About Joooray, I can accept that Joooray killed dcmort, given his investigation results; I don't see any good reason for killing Stuck in Pi. "To make sure I appear in the write-up, so you guys know I'm innocent" doesn't cut it for me, as an explanation. Killing Jedi is not what a Jedi Master is supposed to do. This is all speculation and hypothesis, but I think either Joooray is Sith or he's trying to become one. We all know how tempting the Dark Side can be...
His caution is wise and warranted. I love the deep thought being put into this game.Quote:

In essence, the only players that truly mattered were power roles. I know ATPG has modified the game goals to make it less rigged than the last game, but I never got any game mechanic info beyond a Jedi Initiate role PM which never changed or improved. So, I am currently unsure of how cautious we need to be about lynching potential power roles. My instinct is to say that in mafia games, the townies need to rely first and foremost on good town play, and not wait to be rescued by power roles. Such an instinct makes me perfectly happy to watch Ignoramus and Joooray get lynched. However, if the game is still a lot like the first game, playing such a scorched earth policy towards potential scum is likely to make the game unwinnable at the end.
So, the question is... what information do we have about the town's victory methods? Can we win the old fashioned way by just lynching the right people, or do we need to try and keep power roles alive to the end, like in the first game?
This round is much more productive than the previous ones, if simply because the general IQ has been raised by about 50 now.

I'd say while it's possible, the chances Ignoramus is Sith are not high.
And you want to lynch him because he's a "distraction", Beefy? FoS: Beefy
Here, Chaotix' point is correct. Ignoramus is basically a suspect for no reason anymore, and not much to begin with.

Active ability is only odd at the beginning of the game, where there are Initiates and Padawans.
Lack of an active ability probably means innocent, though. There are some stragglers without powers, like Beefy at this point had no active powers.

Mr purple saber really feels like a serial killer with a thin excuse of sith hunting.
The double attack on Death is yonder is interesting, since the attackers doesn't seem to cooperate. If that's the case, I'm leaning towards this being evidence for two separate sith factions.

Basically, I'm saying Joooray is saying "But he was doing it too!" and then using it as his defense. That kind of reasoning doesn't make Joooray any less guilty, he's just trying to shift blame on someone we don't know and therefore can't lynch even if we want to.

It's special because it's being criticized by a Sith. This is the "give logical reasons/look townie" strategy. It works because it blends in with other people who are positively contributing AND doesn't trigger anyone's scumdar.
It is indistinguishable from several other posts of this kind, so it works.

My claim that I wasn't on this board does indeed make sense if you had looked at my log-in times. I logged in right after ATPG's write up, but because I hadn't been paying enough attention to this game, I didn't know who to vote for, thus I decided to wait before casting my vote. Those who have played in games with me and had paid close attention to when I cast my votes would realize that I've done this quite often, regardless of my alignment.
As I said before, I had a nasty habit of missing the day phases and logging in at night when posting was closed. If I were mafia, and I had been following this game all along, I would not have failed to post/vote earlier. I am no longer new to mafia, and have played in and won as mafia before. I would not have made such a drastic mistake. Let's keep in mind that mafia generally don't miss votes, but instead lay low.
Because you are suspicious of my force breath claim, and not wrongfully so, go ahead and lynch me to prove it.
Vote: wideyedwanderer.
It's hard to say how useful this is when the rest of his contributions have been rare and brief. That makes his heroic defense less convincing, because now it looks like all he cares about is surviving.

It is a protection on one player each night. So it may not be a good idea to lynch me.
Vote: WEW because I get a scum vibe from him, and also to save myself.
She is always like 100 posts behind the rest of you guys. That's why she pops out of nowhere, responds to stuff from several pages ago, and then disappears again.
It gets better when there's less people around and less to read. But this is classic Diana, and people should know it by now. It's no different from Khazaar making 10 posts in a game, or Yaseikhaan making 1 post a round or every other round. It's just how it goes.

I also hated seeing 1/6th of the game disappear due to inactivity or dropouts. My game was designed for a bunch of players and the Sith are too strong, in retrospect, for the 40 player game to have been viable.

Furthermore, I think Joooray must be destroyed. :ave:
The flood of "information" from the investigation results and talks about the viability of allying with Dark Jedi are what turn him away from these candidates. Shame he let up on Kagemusha, for TC anyway.
I rather like watching Kage go to work on the town. It's magnificent, but in all seriousness watch his behavior. I swear there are tells. You all saw the tells.
Later reverses this call if and only if we can verifiably keep an eye on them. As of this writing I still have no idea if this is a good idea, but my guess is that focusing on Sith hunting is far superior to focusing on Dark Jedi hunting. Pressure on the Dark Jedi, but remind them they will stay alive if they hunt Sith, put them in a very tough position of having to help the side they know can lynch them at any time, as opposed to the side who *might* be able to murder them if they break through the Dark Jedi's defenses.Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowNeither. Your post is one of the reasons he still must die. You make it clear that he claims a faction other than Jedi. Third parties are not to be trusted.
As a neutral, the call is easy; I'd support the side which is in power. Currently the Jedi are powerful and have the Dark jedi caught out. They have to help or be destroyed.
They can plot to do evil things but outright doing them is death, so they have to fall in line.
They're like rebellious soldiers. They'll fire a gun at the enemy if they're worried the enemy will kill them, or if they're worried that their superiors will shoot them if they don't shoot at the enemy. They can be useful, you just need to crack the whip.
If you don't find the Sith in time for the endgame, though, it gets real tricky as the Dark Jedi can side with the Sith and wipe out the town. It's too late to stop them then because killing Dark Jedi doesn't help the Jedi win the game.

By now, WEW is the top lynch. Chaotix would make an excellent lynch, you need to get rid of his Force Breath to be able to truly keep him in line and threaten his life.
In this game you don't get it back once you lose it. It's already pretty ridiculous how often people get it.
The RNG is also starting to favor Force Ghost for the Jedi. I'm contemplating removing it from the random list, but I can't do that. Besides, if these guys turn Sith that helps the Sith have more Force Ghosts which can remove Jedi Force Ghosts.
Ultimately the game is still balanced because anything the Jedi get, the Sith can steal from them. That's the mental calculation I made. If it doesn't pan out, it doesn't pan out. Blame the random gods. Random choices win and lose games all the time.
Wideyedwanderer was a Jedi on the dark side of the Force. Surviving in this manner gained him another dark side point, but he's not a Dark Jedi yet.
He survived with Force Breath. The lack of deaths are leading to a situation where the Jedi, on the whole, are surviving longer as a faction and therefore gaining more advanced abilities for the endgame.
These no-lynch situations still favor the Jedi, because that means more deaths the Sith have to inflict on their own. It lengthens the game and makes it harder for them to lie and hide.

You'd think after these awesomesauce moves the town would get its act together and leave Ignoramus alone, finally, and forever, seeing as he now has the highest connection to the light side of the Force out of EVERYONE IN THE GAME and he was ATTACKED BY 2 SITH and he KILLED A SITH.
But no.... no.... he's still a suspect. I nearly wept for the lad.
Remember: if it's not logical or reasonable, it's probably townies doing it. Sorry lads, I love you guys, but it's the truth. I see it every game. Here in a remarkable amount, but it's every game really.

If he had a track record of different behavior, I like this case. But as with all newbies, this is an observation of a behavior that could be typical for Cecil XIX, which he says it is.
At least it is attempting to derive motive from the possible psychological implications of his behavior, and that's why I like it. I like reasoned, psychological cases on suspects.
If this were an atypical townie behavior, or atypical of Cecil, it would be an indicator.Quote:

But this is something townies do more than mafia do. And again, we don't have a track record on Cecil yet.
That's why these cases aren't so good.
I dunno, Captain B. A lot of townies are "unhelpful", and lynching them all can lead to ruin.Quote:
Originally Posted by Captain BlackadderVote Cecil XIX

Look at ACIN. he's not exactly spitting out logical cases, and Warman barely posts beyond voting. Is this considered helpful in that sense? What would happen if we spent several rounds lynching them?
Meh. You want to watch out for the players which can fool you all game long by easily blending in with the town and getting behind your guard.
Warman, ACIN, Cecil, for example, aren't actively trying to lead the town in a given direction, which gives the rest of the players more power during the daytime. It's harder for mafia to win games if they have no control over the discussion.
Psychonaut and Ironside are trying to push the discussion in a certain direction. Kagemusha has gained the trust of the most proven townie in the game. These are the dangerous mafiosi for the endgame.
"unhelpful" townies are dangerous if they sneak under the radar perpetually, but these guys can otherwise be vigged, scanned, or ignored.
Personally, I'd scan them. Mafia won't find them as threatening because they're not dominating the discussion, so they're likely to survive the night. Then you know about living people instead of dead people.
If necessary I'd vig some, scan the others. Vig the most distracting ones that are totally unhelpful in every way, and scan the rest/lurkers etc.
Given that "unhelpful" townies are still townies, they aren't a great move to remove. It's why I was all up and down defending TheStranger in the Daggers in the night game. You could tell he was innocent, just full of "personality" that clashed with the sensibilities of others. Better was to focus on actual suspects (Like Kagemusha, or Kukrikhan...)

I'll go with Cecil for now, but I may change my vote later this phase.
Vote: Cecil XIX
1. Asking rhetorical questions aloud that everyone knows the answer to. Comes off sounding fake, which it is.
2. Spreading suspicion onto someone (Joooray) without voting them. Which sounds scummy, because it is.
3. Good thing for town happens, must praise it. Reflexive "I'm townie" response that actual townies rarely share. Trying too hard.
4. "Our side" instead of "Jedi". Subtle, very close to the "we we we" response in psychological terms.
5. Blending in. Other people are joining the wagon on Cecil without stating reasons. Other scummy behaviors plus obvious blending in tactics sounds scummy to me.
I think the neutral thing is getting to Chaotix. He's acting like he's mafia because of his survive win condition. It messes with your head and puts you in a deceptive state.
It was, though. I'm glad my reaction was felt by others.Quote:

1.because Chaotix is on the wagon and I still think Chaotix is scummy
2.because I have this theory. If one of the member on their team is inactive, others will be active. Just to balance things out.
3.because it would be a shame to lose another lynch opportunity with force breath.
I think many people by now have force breath. So to lynch someone we must lynch them twice.
I don't think Cecil case is strong enough to get him lynched twice. Its much quicker to ask our vigilantes to take care of him.
I will Vote: Chaotix as his been scummy constantly.
His last post was scummy as well.

Not only would I likely replace inactive Sith, but wanting people to get wogged (likely townies) doesn't sound right.
Yes but a townie might also try to move suspicion onto someone other than themselves. Getting suspicion on actual suspects is one of the main goals of being a townie.Quote:

But why, exactly, is Chaotix' behavior different? What's scummy about it, and why? I'm always interested in the why.
The pressure on Chaotix here doesn't catch any Sith, but it does make Chaotix think that death is always around the corner. With less freedom to stab everyone to death willy-nilly, he's less of a problem for the town and possibly an ally.

I broke the townie information network this time. It can still work but it is not overpowered like it was in Capo III.
The investigations are useful, but town is slow to realize how to use them effectively. Vig killings are useful, but there's a down side. Protections are useful, but not all-powerful. Sharing information is useful, but it is still difficult to outright catch Sith this way. There is counterplay.

If you keep vig killing Jedi you fall to the Dark Side which is reversible. It is to discourage everyone from mass vigilante killings, as Sigurd bluffed in the previous game (the bluff worked). Here, the bluff isn't a bluff, there is a negative consequence to vig killing, in that if you keep it up, you fall to the dark side and your death means failure, you don't win with the town because your soul is tainted. Those you killed will win if Jedi win, because their lives were taken from them unnecessarily.
Not everyone has force breath, and once you lose it, you don't get it back.
One strategy could be to remove force breath from everyone, and vig kill people who are actual suspects.
Vote on who should be vig killed, and townies should volunteer to be lynched if they have force breath. That's one idea. Don't let a non-sanctioned vigilante kill anyone. When they fall too far to the Dark Side, tell them to stop killing, and then block them or redeem them somehow. Maybe the Sith will kill them as they are a threat anyway.
Methinks Sasaki was being sarcastic or overdramatic here on purpose. I don't think I made a broken game.

Vote is kind of spread out here. No mass wagons! Actual chance of lynching a neutral instead of a Jedi. Still not close on any actual mafia.

Correct!
Seriously, the very first investigation, Investigation I, was very very useful in determining who wasn't a starting Sith, because they were always killing at night, which is an active ability.
Shame it wasn't used more, before the Sith learned how to fool such a scan.
Needed to be combined with Investigation II to see through Cloak, but WHO would have been using Cloak in the first ten rounds? Why the Sith of course.
Investigation I was really your most accurate scan for learning anything useful early on. Investigation II - how light they are - barely mattered.
Investigation IV was really useful before the Sith learned how to fool it.
Investigation III remains the most useful of all, but Sol Jade died before he could get it and as of this writing, Ronen Durdon hasn't learned it yet.
I really would try very hard not to make it impossible on the town.Quote:

Maybe this is like God Father. If we lynch the Sith Lord (twice) we win.
:curtain:
Though if I am Sith, then I think i've been doing better then in God Father III.
I don't like broken games, and worse is when it's my game that's broken. I'd feel like a worse failure than I did in the Chicago Soiree and the Scourge of Ephesus combined. (shudder just thinking about how much I sucked in those games.... must... blot... out.... from... mind)
Also, take note: Beefy says things like "If I am Sith, I'm awesome" in games where he's really townie. He's a strange cat, like me.
There are players that normal analysis fails on. Reenk Roink, pevergreen, Csargo, and ACIN are four of them.Quote:

Nice attempt by Nightbringer but the premise is flawed. Sith don't necessarily vote together, in fact voting together like this implies she's innocent, because it would be a rather odd move to vote with your mafia partner all the time, as it seems people make the erroneous assumption mafia do this even though they don't ever do it.
Also, any analysis of Diana Abnoba I've ever seen has been flawed. She's never been caught through analysis, but she has been falsely lynched based on bad analysis.
So remember my hints: She's always out of sync with the rest of you, trying to catch up, she's barely ever on the computer, and when she defends herself it always makes her seem scummier, and she doesn't know how to not sound that way. And that's as town, or mafia. But when she has mafia partners who can help her avoid making mistakes, she will sneak under your radar better, I'd think.
Basically, like me, if you think Diana is guilty, she's probably not. If you think she's townie, double-check your work.
Everyone makes mistakes.Quote:

Cecil XIX takes a wild stab at a suspect, and gives it his all.
Nice attempt.
So wrong.
His own case is undermined by the data he uses on Sasaki, which proves that kill numbers were high before and after Sasaki rejoined, and on the night Sasaki could send in orders, kills were lower than average.
It is a bad case, but a valiant attempt by a new player.
In other words:Quote:
Originally Posted by ChaotixI would say at this point, lynching Joooray is a bad idea. Thinking about it over the past couple of days has made me change my mind.
Basically, this is our situation:
There is the town, there are the Sith, and there are any number of Dark Jedi.
The Sith are out to kill us. Period. The Sith are also clearly out to kill the Dark Jedi.
The Dark Jedi just want to survive. They are Neutral. Since the Sith are trying to kill the Dark Jedi as well, right now their best chance of survival is to team up with the town.
And if the town and the Dark Jedi get rid of the Sith together, they have both satisfied their victory conditions.
But if we lynch one Dark Jedi, if we take the policy that Dark Jedi should die, then we turn a potential ally into a certain enemy. There is no way any Dark Jedi will want to help the town if we start killing them- they're out for survival, so they'll basically become a bunch of serial killers we have to deal with.
So... I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd much rather have them on our side than against us.
I am a Dark Jedi, and I am allied with the Dark Jedi Grandmaster.
Please don't kill me or my Dark ally. We'll play nice.

But as I have to vote:
Vote: Diana Abnoba - still suspicious in my mind.
No, scanning isn't useless!
What did the Grandmaster say about this? That the Sith Lord/Dark One had the ability to fool scans.
What use is fooling a scan into thinking you're guilty?
He's going to come out smelling like a rose! He's going to be hiding as a totally non-recruitable Light Sider!
And that's exactly what Kagemusha scanned as!
That's what Psychonaut scanned as!
You guys already found the two masters of the Sith, you just don't know it yet.
Use your logic: In Capo III, Dons scanned as innocent.
That made it possible to narrow down who they were because almost everyone else scanned as guilty after all the killing.
Here, Sith scan as total light siders, because that's how they're tricking the scans. But that's not going to be the popular scan choice! To really blend in, they should scan as Dark Side, recruitable, because more than half the players are, and it's the perfect way to hide!
But the town just doesn't get it... and understandably so.
Your scans still work, you just need to combine them with reasoning and FAITHFUL reporting of those scans.
:whip: Investigators aren't enough in my games. You must use your brains as well. I hate having the town wait for detectives to save them.

Certain lightsaber forms take you to the dark side. Form 7: Juyo II is one of the two.
Certain powers take you to the dark side.
Certain powers move you to the light side, others enable you to push someone else to it/prevent them from going to dark side.
There is a power that lets you use dark side abilities without turning to the darkside.
There is a power that lets you learn dark side powers you are attacked with.
There is absolutes at the end of the spectrum, if you hit it, you can't be converted. Otherwise you can. Very few will ever hit it.
Joooray is not a good lynch anymore.
This information is ALL vital to pass along. And not focusing on chaotix or Joooray increases the likelihood that the Sith will have to kill them instead of the real Jedi, and increases the likelihood that both Dark Jedi Master and Grandmaster will work with the town.
Very powerful chess move here.
That Jedi Holocron really came in handy.
It's at this point that pevergreen drops his load of information and sits down, exhausted, and not sure he can continue being a leader. He read the holocron, congratulated me on the game design, and then said he hated me.

I do think there is a point that the Dark One himself or the Sith leader would be less likely to show up as something iffy than as something more clearly townie, which probabably does make Diamondeye unlikely to be either of those things.
Even sharing some game-crucial information. Gosh, now it's between Tincow, Sasaki, Psychonaut, and Renata for the title of who's acting the most helpful to the town. All good players, half of them Sith.

As to keeping an eye of Joooray...don't ask the impossible. I know the roughly what he can do, and how much of it. If he attacks someone, we will know.
The darkside powers are quite obvious that they are darkside (like the force coversion - converts to sith, thats darkside. Theres a few defence ones that are darkside, but jedi dont have a way to learn them.
Jedi powers
Universal powers
Sith powers
You have to be jedi to get jedi ones, sith to get sith ones (with a few exceptions) and anyone can get universal.

Kagemusha has become a super-saiyan.
So, Tincow, Sasaki, Kagemusha, Psychonaut, and Renata are all acting like supertownies, among the remaining living suspects.
Of them, three are scumbags. All three Sith.
Super-townie. It's super-scummy. I did it in Swords and D20's Three when I lectured people about No Lynch on round one due to townie power roles.
Renata told me it was scummy. She was right.
All three Sith are guilty of it here. That's why it is an indicator. There are dozens of Jedi, only three Sith, and the Sith:Jedi ratio in the "supertownie" column is 3:2 presently.
Toss in Joooray and Chaotix if you want. They're on top of this game, and they're neutral, making it 5:2 scummy versus townie in the "supertownie" category.
Townies don't know what they're doing, with a few notable exceptions. Sith and neutrals are ALL OVER this game.
And now I see three Renata posts and a Kagemusha post. The Sith are now dominating the discussion.
Diana takes the lead. She's got Force Breath and Force Ghost, and started the game with neither and was a lowly initiate with the weakest (and thusfar, least effective) protection power in the game. She already begins the game on the dark side of the spectrum.
Lynching her will make her fall further to the dark side, but that's ok because she hasn't vigged anyone yet.
Points for being different. He's going after a super-townie kind of player. Tincow could have been recruited by now, too.Quote:

Diana is far in the lead now. She will be lynched, and she will survive.
I predict some vig will try to take her out, possibly succeed, and then she'll be a Jedi Force Ghost.
A better outcome than her being converted, possibly. This kind of delay also keeps the rest of the Jedi alive and well for longer, weakening the Sith's position. Just kill Kagemusha, guys.... you'd be all set.
Once he's gone, you own the remaining Sith team. But you will never win if you don't punish kagemusha for his damningly obvious Sith behavior.
I really think he pushed the envelope on purpose because he has cojones made out of unobtanium, but I swear to all that is holy, I'd have been crawling all over him for at least half of the posts he's made this game.
They violate basically <b>all</b> of my scum triggers that I use every game.
You're <b>so</b> lucky I'm not playing, Kage. *evil stare*

Day Thirteen, or: How I Made Massive Screw-ups And Learned to Deal With It.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:So today, Robbiecon is slain. But only because I didn't read the Sith quicktopic all the way, I took their orders early, wrote them down, and never checked for changes. So I magically press the delete button and bring him back to life.
So, Robbiecon is proven innocent and Bip Kenner is proven not-Sith (not one of the Sith teams, anyway, since he was attacked by Sith. Could have been the other).
Because it's the endgame and this could have ruined the game for any of the Sith due to MY error, and the town gets massive advantages for this round and any round that robbie and blackadder survive, the only compensation I could offer was a Sith Force Ghost to Renata.
Sorry guys. Leaving it alone would have unbalanced the game, this was the only way. It's what I would have had to do if I noticed egregious cheating.
Anyways, let's read some gosh dang commentary.
Technically the writeup didn't prove Joooray was innocent, but perhaps pevergreen thought that Chaotix or Ignoramus were a Sith Lord attacking him.Quote:

People: send me stuff if you attacked someone. :laugh4:
Vote: Diana
If that was the logic, it was all wrong. But Sith dying is better than neutral Joooray dying. So that part is right.
pevergreen continues his subtle leadership style. Very decentralized and mostly hands-off.
A mini bandwagon forms on Diana Abnoba. Not at all unexpected. Why do you guys think she's still alive? She's total lynch bait.
So after some 6 or 7 votes on Diana for no reason, God Emperor tries to go for another option.Quote:

Those who participated in the zelda mafia at TWC knows that her inactivity there was very similar to the inactivity she shows in this game.
People may ofc vote for her , but we are on day 15. Plenty of stuff in the game thread to go back and look at.
Autolycus is a person I have checked, and his posts are nothing but bandwagons and 'ay ay great leaders' x 3 times. He did not vote day 12 apparently, and imo, that's about the only thing that speaks in his favour. Might just as well show what it is I am thinking of.
'Our leaders' posts:
then there is a post like this which I don't know what to make of
I guess that would make the zelda game(?)... There Diana was Innocent and you were mafia. You didn't kill her, and that cost you your mafia victory . I don't exactly understand why you wish to use that in this game
This post is just... She didn't show up yesterday durring her bandwagon and the thread is closed durring the night phase. There is hardly anything on her, and she as obviously not had the chance to defend herself, unless you think she avoids this thread on purpose?
Basically this is just your mafia style imo. You follow the leads of others and else you just stay quiet to avoid detection. I don't like your playing style in this game and for now I will vote for you, but I will ofc keep searching the thread , which I would encourage everybody to do
Vote: Autolycus
Seriously, though?Quote:

Yeah, you read it right. I took that joke all the way to its natural conclusion. Betcha didn't think I knew about pokemon. Well I know all about pokemon! Why can't a dude in his late 20s like pokeman? There's nothing odd about that. In fact, you know what? Instead of doing commentary, I'm going to talk about all my favorite pokemans and why.
1. Pikachu
Because duh, everybody loves Pikachu. Pika Pika!
2. Charizard
Because fire is good and it's totally a flying dragon! The only thing that would be better is a ninja. So I nicknamed him Ninja. Wouldn't it be cool if it was a fire breathing dragon ninja!?
3. Squirtle
HES SOOOO CUTE OMG. I dont want to level him up because I dont want him to faint in battle I would just die.
4. Magikarp
Some guy sold me one and so far it sucks, but I dont have a lot of pokemans so I have to use it until I get moar.
5. Pidgey
Because it knows gust, and I like the animation it uses. It's pretty badass.
6. Metapod
If you use harden a lot you can't die! Well it takes a long time anyway. Plus he's got string shot, so that's pretty kewl too I guess. I have the bestest pokeman team evar!
Fine, I'll go back to commentary. You guys are no fun.
Renata eh? Excellent choice Diamondeye!Quote:

I think duels are a bad idea, becuase frankly, in order to take down the Dark One or the Sith Master, I think we'd need to send in someone as powerful as them - ie a Grandmaster or something the like - and we don't want the GM placed even near a tie since it'd be too easy to last-minute lynch him. No, I don't think duels is the way to go, although I understand the argument.
I like the case on Autolycus, but I still have this nagging suspicion about Diana, and we rid her of Force Breath last lynch, so now would be the perfect time if we really want to lynch her. I'll have to ponder this some more...
I attacked Nightbringer last night, not Renata. From his posts, you can already deduct his character name, since he clearly mentions that he is the one being attacked with an emerald lightsaber - and there are only one of those in the writeup.
I do not have the impression that Nightbringer is worth pursuing at the moment. He acts... odd, perhaps, but I think it's merely an attempt to be helpful by trying to construct cases on people, even if it comes off as quite scummy. His powers in battle were not overwhelming even if he survived, my results quite clearly dictate that we were quite equal. I started as an initiate and have only been a knight for a couple of nights (since the great promotion-fest), and I think both the Dark One and the Sith Lord would be able to easily defeat me - even outright kill me in self-defence - without revealing their true identities.
As such, I don't think there's a case against Nightbringer. I'm on the fence between Diana and Autolycus, but one I'd really like to have more attention is - paradoxically - Renata. She's told us herself she hasn't got Force Breath, so it'd be a clean lynch, but I seem to recall pevergreen advising against her lynch.
Vote:Renata. pever, feel free to explain to me in public or private why Renata should be left alone.

Not in a game where the Sith can recruit. That would mean that both he and the person he saved were guilty, and it doesn't make sense. He would rather wagon that person, look good, and recruit someone else.Quote:

The cloaked figure prepared to unleash the final blow, but Xando reached out with the Force, and pushed the cloaked figure to the deck plating, surprising the superior fighter.
Xando fled the scene with his life, barely evading his attacker.
Fighting to a standstill means nothing in terms of power.

When reviewing the thread I think that the case on Kagemusha is a decent one, when it is based on his reactions.. but saying that he hasn't been attacked doesn't really mean anything in itself.

Not only is Beefy right that kagemusha is evil, he's guessed correctly, without a confirmed investigation result, that Kagemusha is also the Dark One, specifically. With 22 other suspects still alive. And it starts the wagon that removes his force breath ability.

What I learned about Kagemusha is that he's a dangerous, dangerous player, but he does leave a bunch of tells when he's mafia, and it's not just me. A lot of good players caught it early, but basically everyone caught it when he was finally put on the spot.
The case was based on his reaction, which is something substantive. I realize this is getting into bandwagon territory but if you watch how people reacted, there wasn't much steam on this wagon, and there were other suspects. But when Kage was put on the spot, more and more people saw what beefy and the others saw.
Outstanding. Town has redeemed itself. Just in time too.... can you stop Kage and the Sith?
It's fairly true. It's not unheard of, but Force users would be more likely to get those powers than Saber masters.Quote:

Vote Kagemusha
I like the reasons. Everyone seems to be adding their own reasons to this case. It's not just an ignoramus wagon with everyone going "me too" or the dcmort wagon (what the heck was up with that one?).
It's also true that a case based on just that wouldn't be much of one.Quote:
Originally Posted by KagemushaIm quite sure any of the force ghosts or the known masters can tell you that i am right in this one, so dont build your case against me based on these issues.
I believe this is more of a flinch. Kage's reaction was too defensive and aggressive at the same time.
I don't know if the writeup, which will show him as a calm light-sider due to his Force Trance, will even convince anyone he's innocent.
And then, when Joooray gets attacked with Oblivion, I am pretty sure that people are going to get more suspicious too.
I think Kage is done. But I can't count this guy out, he's escaped before. Let's hope that frustration and desperation force the townies to cross their fingers, stick with their suspect, and hope.
And that's all the force ghosts and basically the entire town.Quote:

You sent a PM saying you had no powers and re iterated what happened to you that night phase. Hardly a reveal.

How would revealing what you know (not a whole lot outside your role, I'm willing to bet) be stupid.

1) You're a Master.
2) You specialize in the saber.
3) You have obtained all saber powers.
4) You have two investigative powers, including one very high level one, and you've been using them.
5) You've been communicating with pever privately.
6) You have Force Breath and Force Ghost
So... you refuse to talk because it might help the Sith... but you give away all of that information in a completely off-hand way? I don't believe it at all. What it looks like to me is that you're scum and you didn't prepare an alibi ahead of time, so you're scrambling.
This is yet another valid criticism. Another chink in the armor.
This is not a no-reason wagon. At least they got him on substance.
You guys did it without the tier III investigation power, too. Based on old-school mafia tactics of questioning and looking for behavioral clues.
As such, this game's experiment is a success. I threw 3 types of investigation at you so far, and you haven't quite gotten the last one yet, but without really needing to use any of them, you got the right guy, and not randomly either.
The investigations were roughly 50/50 helpful and harmful so far. They didn't ruin the game for you, but they didn't win the game for you either. The town network was useful but not overpowered. Everyone had a chance to become powerful, and no one had a plain old vanilla role. The game was balanced and challenging and lengthy enough to build the tension. The game was able to have a half-dozen vigilantes at the same time, while still keeping the deaths low every night, providing for some action-packed writeups. The alignment system hadn't been done exactly that way before. The types of attacks and defenses I thought kept the game interesting and unpredictable. The Jedi Holocron (learn about the game mechanics as you go) system seemed to be rather innovative, I think. Enlightenment (protect someone from recruitment) I am not sure has ever been done before.
Even as I sit here with a likely dead Dark Lord of the Sith on my hands, I can't say for sure he will be dead tonight or even tomorrow, as town is sometimes an indecisive cluster. And what of the Sith Lord and apprentice? Pressure on Psychonaut is making this game look like it could swing back toward the Jedi for the victory. Chaotix is also getting powerful enough to have a shot at a neutral victory.
I don't know what's going to happen next, and nobody does.
I think I need to do another sequel to this game. I'm already excited to think about it...

I wonder... in a situation like this, should you always follow through on a lynch on a candidate that survived a lynch?
If so, Ignoramus/Joooray would have died a while back, Diana would be dead, Wideyedwanderer would be dead, and so on. But, Kagemusha would definitely be dead.
I'm not sure it's worth it to always do so.
But, if you're sure on a candidate, you lynch them, they survive, you attack them three times, they survive, and you're still pretty sure, why would you not lynch again?
I think it is a bad choice to not lynch in that situation.
However, I am also not a fan of shutting down discussion or debate. Nightbringer voting for a suspect that isn't Kage is fine here. There will still be a game after Kage's death, whenever that may be.
(as of this writing, Kage's fate hasn't been sealed yet. I predict with a 75% chance he will die, but town has a way of changing its mind after the halfway mark in a day phase. Time passes and people forget their original reasons.)
Joooray was a sitting duck for days and days and days. Kage could have killed him no problem at any time.Quote:

Joooray finally gets Telekinetic Lightsaber Combat, and does not use it on the night Kage kills him with Oblivion.

Three for three, excellent job pevergreen.
Useful post by ACIN. At this time, ACIN is moving up the ranks of useful townies, because he is paying attention and actually making contributions here.Quote:

If only he'd stop killing innocent Jedi.... but hey, if he goes dark jedi and survives the game, it is these actions which win the game for him. High risk.
No, I disagree.Quote:

According to the Jedi Holocron, the Sith Master and Dark One are so powerful that even a group of vigs has an extremely low chance of success. The surest way to elimate them is by lynching - nothing but Force Breath can help them there. I'd also advise against revealing info - the Sith would pick us off lick flies.
I thus have every suspicion that Kage must be the Sith or the Dark One, so Vote: Kagemusha.
Lynch the Dark One, and then all the vigilantes vig-kill the same target.
That shows they are occupied during the evening, and aren't the ones doing Sith kills.
The Sith can still fool you here, but they both have to give up one of their attack slots. It's a seriously good strategy.
Also, lynch Master, then vig-kill the apprentice ASAP before she can recruit someone.
I dislike metagaming, and I still disagree. It proves nothing, just like Ignoramus showing interest in the game.Quote:

Warman is innocent, and his being alive is simply a result of no one having successfully killed him yet. With two Sith factions, that's also true for everyone.

Unvote: Kage, Vote: Warman
pevergreen demonstrates why metagaming is so bad.
Everyone he mentions here? Innocent.
And the vote switch is worse.
Don't metagame. Even if you won that way, how hollow would it be? At least vote randomly if you're not going to make a case on someone. That way you can say "oooh wasn't I lucky" instead of "I won because this player is always supposed to be dead, and he wasn't" which is lame.
My opinion, feel free to disagree. Maybe some players want to live sometimes.

Odds-wise, it makes him more likely to be a Sith, but not a Sith here.Quote:

Very few people have force ghost, half of them are Sith.
Bolded for emphasis. Even with a generic case like having Force Ghost, narrowing it down with specifics (also acting scummy) is why Tincow succeeds with a generic case.Quote:

It's generic but also specific. It is very excellent townie play.
And, from my vantage point, the logic holds for more than just Kagemusha. People found Psychonaut scummy yesterday, he's got Ghost and Breath. He is a Sith. Renata has Ghost and she's a Sith, although no one finds her scummy yet.
If you lynch everyone who has Ghost, you will find all the current Sith and lose only a few Jedi.
He is being his stubborn self, but does that mean he's innocent?Quote:

His behavior before he was put on the hotseat is really where you should make your case, because you run into confirmation bias afterward, but honestly I think his defense triggered people's behavior, and not randomly or for bandwagon purposes either. Everyone seemed to add individual and unique reasons why they found his defense to be a cover for Sithness. Even Andres felt Kage was scum earlier on in the game. He just seems to have bought Kage's story/behavior here and changed his mind.
Kudos to Kage on that.
It's a fair assessment. Lynching all the jedi force ghosts is actually okay as long as you do the same for the sith. Preferably in the right order, though...Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowI disagree. In any case, even if we're wrong about Kage, I don't see it causing much damage to the town. He claims Force Ghost, so he'll still be able to vote no matter what. Plus, he's clearly focused on killing and I'm in agreement with those people who say we need to stop the vig actions. So, in the worst case scenario where Kage is Jedi, we don't lose a town vote and we stop a vigilante. That's about as harmless an error as I can see. My money is still on Kage as Dark Lord or Sith Master though.
Beefy sticks to his guns, very admirably. I think he's usually one who can be persuaded or bargained with or otherwise convinced. Here, he shows his iron will.Quote:

most suggests that we should go after Kagemusha. With the Dark One attacking Joooray, and Kagemusha fends off 3 sith who uses skills like Ataru, Makashi, Force stasis, Chain lightning, lightning. So if it goes as it should Kagemusha is the Dark one.

If you look at what i have been doing trough out the game and think about what Sith Lord or the Dark one should be supposedly doing. You should understand that i am not either of those roles. If mafias goal is to kill us all, why as mafia i would concetrate on scanning people and giving out information to the town. I cant quite recall how many nights i have been scanning people, but pever can tell that it has been long time. Not right from the start as i havent had an investigation ability for that long, but ever since i got that ability.
Why would i waste my time pretending i am someone able to investigate, when as Sith i could just say i cant scan people and concentrate on killing people. That would be absolutely crappy tactics for mafia. I am now the third eldest master on this ship and one no one can kill me quite easily. You can lynch me and i cant act as force ghost afterwards helping town ofcourse, but if the Sith are as hard to kill as they supposedly are. Who is going to get rid of them, if you lynch all the powerful pro town people? Also Tincow i dont get where you are getting that i am focused on killing when i havent made a single vigilante attack.
Some of you think that i am quite the crafty player, Tincow clearly being not one of them as you think i would give myself up so easily as mafia, but do i have to be killed as default just because i am who i am. In my opinion i am quite more valuable to the town with cleared by scans and helping the town to win the game, rather then lynched because some of the town people seem to be paranoid about me.
He would have to claim Force Sever or Force Plague or make one up. And if he does, they will know these are advanced dark side powers, while Kage scans as advanced light side.
The contradiction is the smoking gun everyone misses, because no one asks which defenses he used.
Missed opportunity, everyone. Missed opportunity.

Revealing that he's Kel Dih-Mar, a new Master, reveals also he's one of the weakest Jedi in the game, and that helps the Sith.

I cant but just wonder why nothing else seems to make you happy then my death, maybe the force ghosts should point me towards you direction in order to find out your true motivations. Maybe you are doing the bidding of your master so the town will further destroy itself?
Entertaining and forceful, but I know I'd be voting for this. This kind of defense will push some of the more indecisive people away, though, so it is worth it.
Still, it just reeks so bad. The OMGUS is so pungent it makes my eyes water.

The fact is, we don't know what the sith can or can not do. We know they can't learn light side powers once becoming a sith. It is unlikely that investigations are a light side power though. If we go back and look at the night actions for each night, the sith could easily be investigating, and posing as someone.
Without the dual-GM investigation, no one is 100% jedi, unless force ghosted. Even a sith can become a force ghost, but thankfully, no sith force ghosts yet.
We have 19 people alive, and 3 confirmed anti-town roles alive, who knows how many dark jedi.
Unvote: Warman, Vote: Kage
I'm sorry, but I believe this is the best course of action that leads to a non-sith victory.

You and i both know that i asked for you to get me scanned the same time i revealed at you. Why didnt you have that done? As i said in pm already.I cant understand your motivations and dont trust your judgement either at this point. I have to ask from you also as from the write up it reveals that the ones that attacked me were using dark side powers and also some of them atleast were cloaked. Did you set that attack up? If you did, then i have to think that you are played by the Sith or the Dark One, as your actions have got quite a lot people already killed.
I can count for each and every night action of mine. Tell when i have acquired what power and you have knowledge of lot what i ahve been doing. Still you dont even give me a change to redeem myself in the eyes of the town. Have it occurred to you that maybe you are yourself influenced by the mafia who may be playing you a fool?
Oh, this post however is a masterpiece. I like this defense, it attacks pevergreen's weak point, which is his view of himself as a townie leader and his lack of confidence in his own decisions.
Very nice jab. That one probably stung a little.
The rhetoric about accounting for all his night actions is pretty forceful, but in his case, ultimately inconclusive.
If he could point to a night he defended someone with Meld, or vigilante killed a Sith, he'd be in like Flynn. That's why he has such powers, to really and ultimately fool the town hardcore.
Sadly, he didn't use these powers to clear himself. I really think he could have found his way out here with a simple, calm defense and "I defended so and so night 12, while the Sith were killing. That proves I'm not the dark one" when it doesn't prove that, but it would meet EVERYONE's expectations for such.
That's the move which could have won the game for him. That's why I made it possible. I wanted to challenge everyone's assumptions about how a mafioso will behave, but it was not to be.
There's just no denying this logic.Quote:

Late yesterday when majority were voting me he decided not to join the wagon, but instead decided to vote Diana Abnoba, who has been unresponsive for ages.EDIT:
That is only because town is so disorganized. For example why wasnt anyone protecting Jooray last night? For example Ignoramus.Maybe pever or Beefy could answer that? If we are not accounted for at slightest, nor we have any coordination in our night orders.I dont believe we can win. That is not an excuse to kill powerfull pro town people, unless it really is an excuse and the mafia are playing the town from inside out.
This might almost be convincing, except lecturing the townies how to behave is one of my scumtells. Every Sith has done that this game.
Pretty much in agreement here.Quote:

vote: Kagemusha , FOS: God Emperor
Zan Finnay's ability to wishstand three attackers with ease points to him being the Sith Lord. It was the Dark One who killed the Grandmaster, as evidenced by the mechanical breathing. Giving scanning results to the town is no defense: A Sith master wouldn't scan his starting apprentice in the first place; it's a harmless way to build townie cred.
But the Sith Lord himself WAS one of the three who got his butt handed to him.
I hope Kage smiles about that. He outranked Psychonaut by 4 full ranks. That's like a Grandmaster pwning a Jedi Initiate.
Psycho never had a chance against this guy with the saber. Only his tier III force powers have a chance at beating Kage.
Town does need to stop killing itself. Those weak vig attacks won't do anything against any of the Sith right now. They need to be fully boosted and using the right form AND using an ability that can see through Cloak for Renata alone. They can't even hit Psychonaut while he's using Trance.Quote:
Originally Posted by pevergreenI have said for multiple days now that the town is killing itself, and that it needs to stop.
I know you asked to be scanned, but you know scans can't prove anything. You're demanding proof that you yourself have stated cannot be obtained.
[edit for length]
You can tell us what you did each night, but the fact is unless you appear in the writeup, it can be faked. Even then, unless you appear performing two actions, you can still be lieing.
If we prolong the game long enough for the grand master to obtain the only way to prove innocence/guilt, then we have a chance, along with good old fashioned in thread stuff.
That's the tell, though; if you can't attack someone with Investigation II combined with the vig, they are a grandmaster or they are Sith. That's how investigation II can catch sith.
Investigation I allows you to find people using cloak or above (when it fails, thats the most likely reason) and people who were using active powers in the game opening (half of them were Sith). If someone claims to be inactive but Investigation I says otherwise, they're lying, and therefore probably Sith.
Investigation II can catch Renata being not light side and see through her cloak. That combined with a vig kill can also attack Renata. Investigation II can locate people using Trance when combined with a vig kill, as it will fail to penetrate Trance. The only people using trance are Psycho and Kage. In that sense it's the most useful and widely available investigation of them all.
Investigation III will tell you outright that Kage is dark side, which contradicts his strong with the light side story. Nailed immediately. Tells you outright for the Lord and Apprentice that they are Sith without any doubt.
Investigation IV tells you dark side and non-recruitable. That means they are Sith, but this investigation can be fooled. It is useful to use on Renata when combined with Investigation II, or on Psychonaut BEFORE he got Trance. It will become useful again after Kage and Psycho are dead.
All 4 investigations can root out the Sith. All 4 were useful. All 4 were not game-enders for the Sith because how to use them was not known, and not all were always available to everyone.
I wouldn't have revealed this part. That's not necessary for the town or the Sith to learn.Quote:
Originally Posted by pevergreenThis may be true, but you don't automatically gain every single power once you become grandmaster. Neither Joooray, nor I believe Ig, have the force powers required to do the scan. We have to wait for Ig to aquire them.
Its like saying a jedi master can use a roleblocking power. Why can't everyone roleblock now? Because not everyone has the force power.
Nice shot, Cecil. This is nearly a smoking gun, because very few people had such powers on night one, including other Knights.Quote:

Nice pressure, Jarema.Quote:

Good pressure, but those attacks weren't all that strong. Saber and lightning are the two easiest to defend powers in the game.Quote:

Saber can be stopped with push, an initiate ability.
Lightning can be stopped with a saber alone, with the right stance. It also has a myraid defenses.
Jedi's killing powers were really only useful to kill Sith apprentices or Sith with the wrong defenses selected, or when combined with investigation II to find Trance users.
They were otherwise nearly meaningless. However, Final Judgment is formidable and very much useful to the Jedi GM.

It is impossible to know which is true, so it is simple WIFOM that should be discarded.

It's plain and obvious that two of the attackers had similar strength to what you should have. Simply put, it is clear in the write-up that two of them used two attacks each- one used dual green lightsabers, and the other used a combination of lightsaber and lightning. This is in addition to the third attacker, who only attacked with lightning and therefore only used one action on you.
It didn't take any inside information for me to deduce that. How do you think I figured out Zan Finnay was the Sith without knowing it was you?
His case seems to be mostly intuition and gut feeling, but it was still remarkably accurate.
He's also attacking Chaotix who killed the same Sith twice and has guessed that Finnay was Sith.Quote:

This is the first reasonable thing you've said in ages, Seon, but not enough to convince me of his innocence. Vote: Kagemusha.
Also, speak up, Seon... Do any force ghosts know anything about Seon?

Seriously, this was a very persuasive observation made by Sasaki. Kage mirrors his Shadow Fort behavior quite nicely.
I also think you can look at his behavior in the Daggers game and find similar stuff, Sasaki.
Good follow-through.

Maybe it would it would be possible to get him to use it on someone and then confirmed that he used it. Of course, this is all based on the assumption that Force Meld would not be a Dark Side power, which is a potentially dangerous assumption.
He could fool everyone with Meld. He didn't bother with it because he wanted to gain information.

It is possible kage is an apprentice, but we haven't really seen a Sith killing with a saber at all, as i think it is clear one with his abilities would.
No, I think kage is simply a scummy town. I have stated my opinions about khazaar already, but i would like to support god emperors case on Frozen in Ice.
I don't see much in the use of the term Mr. Purple Lightsaber, but his vote history and behavior (as spelled out by god empereror) do strike me as very scummy.
I am going to keep my vote on khazaar for now, but if more people vote for Frozen in Ice I would much rather see him go than kagemusha, and will change my vote accordingly if I must to make this happen.
If anything, Kage being strong with both indicates something off.
More townies are fooled. Kage is strong with the Dark Side, but they don't wagon the same suspects and thus Kage doesn't have an escape route.Quote:

I predict we will have a Sith GM soon, too.
Sith always want to have townie cred. When they show it to you, you should be rightly skeptical.Quote:
Not entirely true. People aren't always killed when they are attacked.
Unless the Sith can investigate, and giving those results to the townies doesn't harm you, as they're largely useless, and it gives you townie cred.
Correct!Quote:
I guess Force Powers are just better at killing people, and thus the Sith/Dark One use them more often than sabers, even if they are proficient with sabers.
Tally so far:
Kagemusha, (8): Tincow, Ignoramus, Beefy, Cecil, Chaotix, Diamondeye, Yaseikhaan, Double A
Khazar: Nightbringer,
Warman: Khazar
Chaotix: Kagemusha
Frozen in Ice: Seon
Abstain: Warman
That looks very good for the town....
Warman hasn't been a town hero so far, but he is one of the only two strong light side Jedi remaining.Quote:

ACIN, I would also like to appeal to you to vote for one of these two. If you disagree with the reasons for doing so i understand, but you too dont seem to see much in the case against kage.
Nightbringer isn't happy to see Kage die, and neither are a bunch of other unconvinced townies. Their actions could lead to the town's defeat.
Will Kage get the death he so richly deserves?
Here ACIN loses all credibility. He's the one who murdered God Emperor.Quote:

I have no idea why ACIN is acting this way. Either information warfare (will only confuse the town, the mafia pretty much know who murdered who) which is bad, or he's deliberately sabotaging the town, which is bad.
I believe he's just playing for his own amusement, not to help the team.
Thumbs down on this post.
It could be he's trying to bluff his way into getting his suspect lynched, but IMO he's just trying to mess with everyone in an unproductive way.Quote:

In response to ACIN, who seems committed to his own ends, not concerned with the town. I know he contacted a suspected Sith and asked if he could help them out or something. Have to check my quicktopics but it's there.Quote:

Case in point.Quote:

So, can you blame me for keeping my mouth shut from then on?
Can't agree with this more.Quote:

Indeed, you asked for one more night last night, and no evidence appeared to exonerate you. While it's possible that's not your fault, there's no reason whatsoever to think that you will be properly cleared if we let you live again. Something could happen tonight to prevent it, just like it did last night. In fact, the Sith would actively try and do just that, even if you're not one of them. Letting you live for that reason is just a silly move for the town to make. In addition, I am personally pretty sick and tired of people avoiding lynches with Force Breath, and a large part of the reason why I am still voting for you is that I just want a final result for once. You were a very solid vote yesterday and, while you have done a far better job of defending yourself today, it makes a mockery of the lynch system if Force Breath keeps vetoing the will of the majority. The only thing that will make me change my vote at this point is if you can point to yourself appearing in a night write-up in some manner that proves you are not Sith.
Regardless of where you stand on Kage, he asks too much here.
The part where he says the case is flimsy I disagree with.Quote:

edit to avoid double post
@above
There is some new evidence, that we have no evidence of any sith or the dark one being masters of the light saber. This, combined with some other factors makes me think Frozen in Ice is a much more likely sith.
Even without knowing the answer, I still think I haven't seen a better or more thoughtful, complete case than the one on Kage, all game.
Even over the course of several games, I feel this is the best I've seen in a long time, importantly, from several independent sources with independent reasoning and many are proven innocent.
The point. Kage's tactics still ignore that Meld doesn't prove anything because he has a second action.Quote:

Tincow is reasonable because he asks for the indisputable proof.Quote:

If you claim to have been investigating on a night when all three scum used two power each on the same target, prove it. You've given pever multiple investigation results. Show me one of the ones you gave him that occurred on a night when the write-up shows three separate scum, each using two abilities.
Though, for the record, since investigation results can be forged, he would need to be melding and vigilante killing on the same night to "prove" his innocence. And that vig kill would have to be declared.
And, three other Sith would need to be using 2 powers. It's nearly impossible to pull off, even with reanimation on Sith.

@ Kage-
1) It would take more individual night actions to 'clear' you than your survival would allow you to contribute. Plus, you can't actually be 'cleared' anyway.
2) This question is confusingly worded, but if you mean why wouldn't force far sight and force persuasion clear you, the answer is because no one has both of those abilities.
3) The Force Ghosts have told us (via ATPG's holocrons) that we have pretty much no chance of killing the Dark Lord and the Sith Master at night.
The fountain of patience, ladies and gentlemen.
Yikes. I need to do a tally.... this swing towards Frozen based on absolutely nothing could kill the town.Quote:

Scum typically try to a lay low while contributing enough to discussion to make it look like they aren't trying to lay low. Scum will also vote in most, if not all, day phases, as you have. Kagemusha sounds like a good lynch, and it appears he is in the undisputed lead, so I'll cast my vote elsewhere. Vote: Frozen in Ice.
Well, it doesn't matter. Lynch went on Kage. And that's the end of that chapter.

Plus, it's certainly possible that a Jedi could have taken some combination of actions to survive that, but I find that a little unlikely. Also, looking at the write-ups, he/she promoted to Knight on Night 8, which makes them one of the original Initiates, and thus less likely to have enough abilities right now to withstand that, when most other Jedi by this point haven't even been able to beat two attackers at once.
Going by the number of attacks, there are currently 8 who are either Dark Jedi or Vigilantes. Going by the battle description, The Sith Lord attacked Ignoramus, as that attacker appeared to have far more powerful abilities than anyone else, and one of the Lightning users was the apprentice.
If you can deflect lightning tier II, then tier I is also meaningless. Being good with sabers or choosing the right form and having the proper boosts also makes you nigh-indestructible with the saber.
Force Lightning and Force Energy are also similar style attacks with similar weaknesses.
Also bad logic.Quote:

Tincow, your first mistake was trying to analyze ACIN.
ACIN does not play according to the prescribed norms, and in fact tries to undermine the town as a townie.
As such, he's not a good townie except by accident. Forgive me for saying so, but he will admit he's trying to hurt the town.
So, analysis of his behavior will fail because you're analyzing him with the assumption that he's trying to help you if he's townie.
In fact, one might believe ACIN would act more like a proper townie, if he cares about his mafia partner's wishes, if he were actually mafia.
If he ever starts acting like a townie should, he might be mafia.
Then again, he is ACIN. Maybe he decides he wants to play normally one time just to mess with you. *shrug*
Beefy's got it. You can't read him.Quote:

That is why ACIN will defy analysis. You have to guess that he's mafia based on investigations or actions, or just flip a coin on him. That's the best you can do.
I don't think he should always be lynched. But if you are going to lynch him, do it early, because you're probably never going to have any reason to lynch him beyond the fact that he's ACIN and he's still alive.
Late lynches should be saved for those you can analyze, and I don't think ACIN fits the pattern of a player who you can draw conclusions based off of behavior.
Ask someone with force breath to volunteer. That's perhaps its only positive use, besides giving an important townie another night to do their work.Quote:

Even if you end up losing this game, I do want to congratulate you on one of the boldest mafia strategies I have ever seen. It was a clever and well-executed plan.
"Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... do things. The Sith have plans, the Jedi have plans, even Dark Jedi have plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say that you and your fellow Jedi was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and look where that got you. I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this ship with a lightsaber and a couple of force powers. Hmmm? You know... You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a rebel soldier will get murdered, or a freighter full of stormtroopers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old Jedi will die, well then everyone loses their minds! Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!"
That's ACIN. He's not a schemer. He's an agent of chaos.
Is it really the confessed Dark Jedi you need to worry about, though?Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowChaotix's use of Juyo is interesting, but given the mechanics of this game it is pretty weak to vote on abilities alone, particularly when Chaotix is already claiming Dark Jedi.

That person used two separate abilities in the attack, which means they could not have pulled off a second attack on the same night. Since Chaotix is seen attacking with the trio, he cannot be the Sith Master. Chaotix could well be the Apprentice, but we need to kill the Master first. So, even if you are right about Chaotix being Sith, you have the order mixed up. Lynch ACIN first, then kill Chaotix at night.
In the Star Wars game hosted by Zack at TWC, I knew of like 3 neutral players. They are a pain in the endgame, but if I knew they were neutral, I also knew they weren't mafia.
As such, I was able to narrow down who was mafia.
Chaotix has a pattern of night behavior which proves he is not the starting Sith Lord, and he can probably also prove he's busy on nights where Renata was acting Sithy.
Chaotix is a bad lynch unless Renata dies. Then he's a somewhat obvious Sith Apprentice candidate. Even so, removing the master removes Chaotix as a threat, because the Sith Apprentice can't recruit him.
The Sith Lord is the only lynch that matters. Remember, you guys found out through the holocron, that it needed to be this way:
Dark Lord of the Sith must be lynched.
Sith Lord must be lynched.
Apprentice must be lynched.
In that order, or else they can just be revived or recruited again. You guys know this, but you forgot. Chaotix is the least of your concerns at the moment. He might have been a fine choice instead of killing a normal jedi one of the early rounds, but now you need to kill the sith, and killing him isn't killing sith.
He's also for some reason dedicated to wiping out the sith, even though he's neutral. He's roleplaying his character well.
Seriously, this should have been looked at.Quote:
Originally Posted by Sasaki KojiroSo if the sith master used two abilities and a bunch of people were vigging, we have a short list of possibles? What's the list?
This was critical. You could have determined who the Sith Master was through process of elimination.
That's what the lightsaber colors appearing in the writeup were for. That's your best investigative tool of all.
I was truthful when I said "saber colors don't mean anything, except red always means Sith."
It doesn't matter what color they are, just that they appear in the writeup. If you can prove, through your saber color, that you were in the writeup doing something while the sith master was busy, you're not the sith master.
This could have been solved by spreadsheet by now. Just a little bit of cluedo style process of elimination.
Kudos to Sasaki for pointing this out. Sad no one tried it.
I agree. But, you could have used his golden lightsaber to prove he wasn't a Sith. Therefore, he was a provably bad lynch.Quote:

Lynch him later, when you think he could possibly BE a Sith. He might accidentally vig Renata on his crazy killing sprees and prove that she's using cloak again. That's clues.
Sith are far more dangerous than ACIN.
It's just a matter of priorities.Quote:
Originally Posted by NightbringerWell, whether tincow is right or wrong, unvote, vote:ACIN is probably the best choice at this time.

You want the Sith Master dead.
Short of that, you want the apprentice known, and blocked every night until the Master dies.
Short of that, lynch a suspect with force breath.
Short of that, you can lynch jedi on the dark side of the force, starting with ACIN.
He was the fourth best lynch. You could have done better.
Psychonaut hasn't raised any red flags with his posts basically all game. Even after he matched the description of someone who was "too powerful" in one of the writeups. No one followed up on him because he's successfully hiding in the town's blind spot perfectly.Quote:

The problem is that Double A is a replacement player, and usually they don't have any role. Now that's not to say it isn't impossible for him to be Sith, but I don't see it as likely that he could be anything more than the apprentice. The way you've put it makes me think he is the apprentice, how does his being a replacement correlate with Ironsides's death?
Kagemusha is a great player, but I do believe Psychonaut has him beat hands-down in this regard.
People should have been discussing what to do for the night phase, proposing theories on how to solve the game with the available actions.Quote:

That's not good. There needs to be ideas generated, plans considered. Otherwise it's all on the shoulders of someone who might just pick randomly and not give it a second thought.
You needed this vital time to discuss and solve. It was solvable here, but the opportunity was blown, as far as I can tell.
If anything loses the game, it is the lack of effort in solving the mystery through all available tools.
Granted, some people tried hard to solve things based on behavior. But you had other tools.
A good game, but Sith did play better than the Jedi.
Anyways, nothing else of consequence happens, in my opinion.
ACIN is lynched. One less Jedi vote, but one less potential death by a psychotic, murderous townie for his own amusement I suppose.
At this point it is officially crunch time. You needed to have removed Psychonaut's force breath by now. He's far too dangerous to be left alive.

This plan of action removes half the tools the jedi had at their disposal, which included drain knowledge which is a way to prove you were doing something with one of your slots, and using lightsabers against someone who had force push or force wave, which is a way you can prove you were doing something with one of your slots.

Obviously defending yourself is allowed, but do no other night actions.
If you investigate khazaar, send me the result you get. Do not tell others what you get, as I will be cross-referencing results I receive.
Telling the Sith who you're investigating and defending is also bad.
They doubled up their attacks on Igno for maximum damage.
pever was trying, and it had its charms, but this plan allowed a crucial victory to happen for the Sith.
You would have been better off acting randomly. Just sheer luck could have helped you out of this mess, by hitting Renata or Psycho who were using cloak and trance. Drain a Sith Power. Prove your innocence.
All these opportunities were lost here, on a game-critical round.
Can't fault pever for coming up with a game plan. Every other townie could have proposed a better one.
Don't be hard on pever. It is every townie's fault, not just his. At least he was showing leadership. It was the wrong track to take, but it was effort nonetheless.
Even dropping the vig kills didn't warrant dropping other powers from the equation.

Renata can only be guilty if the Sith are capable of attacking with an alt-color lightsaber. I won't rule that out, but I think it's less likely. If it weren't for that uncertainty, she would be a likely candidate to be the Sith.
The same applies for Psychonaut and Diamondeye.
Diana Abnoba, Double A, and Seon can consider themselves under significant suspicion. PM me if you have any evidence that could clear your name.
wideyedwanderer (N8) and Khazaar (N12) both appear to have been attacked by Sith, but it's possible they were hit by vigilantes with lightning instead. Gonna have to check that out again.
Nightbringer had better PM me his role, his lightsaber color, and his actions for at least the past five or so nights or else I'm going to consider him a prime suspect, too.
Finally, if anybody is a Dark Jedi, PM me and tell me. You are not under any greater suspicion than normal, but your actions for the next few nights need to be regulated. I will endeavor to keep you alive so that you can win if you will endeavor to help me find the Sith so that the rest of us can win, by following my orders.
Renata and Psychonaut "likely" to be Sith if the Sith can attack with alt-colored sabers.
Think of it this way: Jedi can attack with jedi sabers. They have that color. If a jedi is recruited by the sith, they still have their old sabers, as evidenced by Ironside.
Sith also have "jedi" sabers for defense. Obviously the Sith have alt-colored savers. The question is, can they attack with them? The answer was seen when you had Kagemusha in the writeups attacking people with double-blue sabers.
This was known already, or at least knowable.
Why not figure it out now, while everyone is here talking about it?Quote:

More than two healers for several rounds. Multiple vigilantes. Multiple people with multiple pro-town night actions. Proven innocent pro-town network who can't really be killed off and can vote. Write-ups containing enough information to solve the game through brute force. The ability to avoid bad lynches so you'd focus on night actions and solving the game through night actions. The Jedi Holocron revealing the powers and abilities and strengths and weaknesses of the game. Jedi learning Dark Side powers. Multiple roleblockers. Drain Knowledge. Force Meld.
This was a night where a Sith failed to kill anyone, and the other got two free kills plus one, when they could have had four successful attempts even without Force Meld causing additional deaths. And the risks of Force Meld were known, repeatedly in fact.
No, I disagree with Tincow here, what the Sith were able to do with Force Destruction was not overpowered.
It was known you can die using Meld. It was known that your protected person can also die. Logically, that meant there was an outcome where all three could die if a person had two defenders.
The Sith got lucky they never murdered each other. The Sith got lucky the grandmasters kept missing the necessary Force Far Sight power. The Sith got lucky that the first Sith Lord never got lynched. The Sith got lucky that dark side powers were never drained, and they were never roleblocked. The Sith got lucky that they found recruitable people in short order. The Sith got lucky that the Jedi ended up murdering themselves almost as often as the Sith murdered them.
The Sith got this far through an increasingly improbable series of fortunate events, and skill, and cunning. Town, on the other hand, missed many opportunities. And they too got lucky on occasion, but failed to capitalize.
I think a fair analysis of this game will conclude, as crazy as it was, it was indeed balanced.
Every round for the past several rounds, there have been known proven townies in the living column. Chaotix here is correctly ID'ed as not the Sith master, even though the reasoning falls into the WIFOM category.Quote:

This is why Renata is so dangerous. She's like a sweet Siren, commanding your minds... leading you to your doom.Quote:

Can we get an account of what actions have been taken by everyone left in the game, please?
So far I have the following people as unlikely to be the Sith Lord, in rough order of certainty:
Chaotix -- attacked Beskar, etc
Diamondeye -- presumably attacked by Sith last night, frequent vig, bad investigations
me, Psychonaut -- present in vig attacks when the Sith Lord was busy
Diana Abnoba -- bad investigations
Seon -- looked weak when attacked (he told me who he is)
Khazaar claims attacks, but I don't know who attacked him.
And Csargo, Nightbringer, Double A, wideyedwanderer.
Please fill in the gaps and correct my bad assumptions if there are any. For now,

"me, psychonaut" = Freudian slip. Ouch, Renata, very ouch.

There doesn't appear to be any case against Csargo except for that he "seems suspicious." I agree that he does, and he may be a good lynch. But with the game on the line here, I think it's important for me to share what information I have. I think Double A2 is a good lynch for the following reasons. Last night I used drain knowledge on him and I received Force Persuasion, a level IV investigation ability that senses if someone can be turned to the dark side. The whole game he has claimed to be uninterested, saying he's too busy playing video games to contribute much. He's hardly voted, yet he's been busy enough sending in night orders to acquire a level IV investigation ability. Something doesn't seem to add up here.
Unvote, Vote: Double A2.
Really, every townie should be taking their own notes from their perspective. Investigation IV was already known to be a common, non-grandmaster power.
Describes Csargo's typical behavior; so the lynch would be Csargo, for acting like Csargo.Quote:

I would check that writeup.
In that writeup, obvious Sith tries to attack Ignoramus, and fails to kill Ignoramus, Blackadder, or Tincow, proving all of them innocent.
You can see Bane Anded with his purple lightsaber being attacked.
You can see Frid Fefar with his double-blue sabers getting killed.
You can see Diamondeye with his emerald saber attacking Bip Kenner with his double-yellow saber.
You can see Va'ard Kypaz being attacked by three people, one of them has an emerald saber, the other has a dark blue saber. But, Csargo is claiming to have attacked Warman, who was All'uan Kraytous, and Renata will claim to have attacked Double A.
You can see Chain Lightning being used on Warman.
We also see chain lightning being used on Yaseikhaan, which no one claims credit for. This is another Sith attack.
You can also see a second assassin, attacking and killing Warman with a dark blue saber.
Csargo's story checks out that much.
So, does this prove Csargo isn't a Sith? No... but it does show he was doing what he said he was doing that night, and two other Sith attacks are accounted for. Interestingly, Renata is vig killing with her dark blue saber, so that leaves a hole where Csargo could have done it.
Bad luck there.
But suppose the Sith master had shown two attacks together in the writeup instead of two separate ones? You'd have been able to conclude that Csargo wasn't that Sith, and thus, more likely than others to not be Sith.
I wonder if anyone did this kind of check before continuing on.
At least 6 or 7 townies posted after this reveal, I don't think any of them thought to check to see if they could clear Csargo based on evidence.
Correct me if I am wrong. Did anyone else check?
The dead have all the time in the world to do such analysis. They don't have to worry about night actions or voting or responding to accusations. All they can do is think hard about who is guilty and who is innocent based on evidence and behavior.Quote:

They also don't have to worry about one suspect, they could analyze each remaining player and solve the game that way.
Csargo: (6) Seon, Chaotix, Cecil XIX, Nightbringer, Diamondeye, Renata
In the end, a quiet lynch of a quiet player who quietly protested his innocence. The main reason for this lynch: not much was known on Csargo.
He had force breath, so no lynch happened.
Meanwhile, Psychonaut and Renata go under the radar big time. The only person even considering them is the GM, Chaotix, and he's reluctant to go after them because he's thinking about lightsaber color.
I did warn ya not to focus on lightsaber color.... :wink: The only thing color can do is show up in the writeup as an identifying mark, along with your name if you're attacked.
Night Seventeen- The death spiral continues
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:This does have merit in that they must use alt-colored sabers in order to disguise themselves if they don't want to be outed by brute force, and it also means that it will limit the number of attacks the Sith can do.Quote:

You are to PM ME the COLOR of your lightsaber and the FORMS you are using tonight. I don't care about the other forms you have, I want only the ones you are using tonight.
Everyone does this. There are no exceptions but Double A himself, and I suggest Double A refrain from doing anything or investigate if he thinks he will survive.
This way, in the write-up tomorrow, I will be able to tell exactly who followed the orders.
Anybody who doesn't follow orders is to be considered a Sith, as there will be no other explanation for any other kills. So, if you're not a Sith, follow the orders, otherwise the whole plan will fall apart. If you are a Sith, I couldn't care less because I will catch you either way.
If everybody follows the orders, I will know for certain that the Sith can use alt-color lightsabers, and I will know how to proceed. In addition, we will have prevented any night-kills except for the suspect Double A.
If the Sith disobey the orders, we will know for sure who they are.
Either way, we win. Do not fail me.
It is brilliant in some ways. Hopefully Double A can fight it off.
Sadly, you could use roleblocks, investigations, protections, and drains, but this mass vig attempt will also limit the effectiveness of the Jedi at night.
This plan also will not out any Sith unless Double A dies and is Sith, so therefore it does not out any Sith.
Are you suggesting they could perform 8 kills tonight? Am I misunderstanding?Quote:

We should lynch Csargo again if there is tomorrow. Is Diana a bad candidate?
Psychonaut has totally avoided suspicion basically this whole game, except for one round where he was attacked and kicked his attacker's hind ends.
Other than that, he's been flawless. No shame in losing to this guy, because you weren't even close. He earned it.

If so, food of thought: if Sith Master is allowed to attack his own Apprentice (or vice versa), then attacking my partner is exactly what I would do. Not N1, of course, because that would be too obvious. Then again, and I know I'm entering the domain of WIFOM here, that would be exactly what a very ballsy mafioso would do.
Anyway, somehow, following the lead of a Dark Side Jedi who was keen to kill on the first night, doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bane
It may be a coincidence, but I don't think so. We know that Chaotix has a purple sabre - so does Bane. His name is Bane Andred - maybe a coincidence, but unlikely. Also, when Chaotix approached me to form a vig group, he claimed he was the Bane of the Sith - his victory conditions were to eliminate the Sith, but at the same time he claimed to be Dark Jedi - a perfect cover for constant vig attacks. What is more - in all 15 of the Holocron entries there is no mention of the Bane of the Sith - the role Chaotix claims for himself.

Andres also has a good point. How the :daisy: did Chaotix know that Beskar was Sith on N1? No way he could know if he was a real vigilante. Which means it was a lucky guess. Which means he was picking a random target on N1. So, why didn't Chaotix continue with random killings after N1? If he had no problems with it N1, he shouldn't have had problems with it on N2. Indeed, he should have felt vindicated by his method and continued. But he didn't. Beskar was a very specific and defined target and Chaotix did not make random kills after Beskar, which means Chaotix targeted him for a non-random reason. Which means Chaotix knew Beskar was Sith on N1.
Yes, kill Chaotix tonight. Then lynch him when you fail. Anyone who can use Drain Knowledge should drain Chaotix, and specify Force Breath as the ability you want to pull.
All the town leadership is focusing on the red herring, the one who can prove he wasn't Sith for basically the whole game. But the Dark Side clouds EVERYTHING.... including their judgment.
Tincow's plan to attack Chaotix would have resulted in a bunch of people appearing in the writeup looking for him, and not finding him. It would probably have forced a lynch on Chaotix day 18 because of the cloak. Still likely to happen.
Beefy still shines like a diamond in the rough, even though he's missed Psychonaut completely.Quote:

And his picture looks like Luke Skywalker.
Csargo lynch bad, vigs didn't actually hurt the town here though. Double A survives as a proven innocent Force Ghost.Quote:

Diana also has the alibi of trying to heal Ignoramus last night. Not a very Sithy action.
Who does that leave? Psychonaut.
Come on, I know you guys can get this one.... even if you can't figure out between Diana and Psycho it is 50/50 coin flip....
Start thinking on Day 18, Tincow, I KNOW you especially can get this. You're too ruthlessly logical not to deduce it's either Diana or Psycho....Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowHmmm... that shows you attacked Rebel Jeb on N4 as well, which is... believable under those circumstances.

I do believe the Sith started out with a single kill each, so that would seem to substantiate your alibi. I still have difficulty buying just how lucky you got on N1, but I will withdraw my FoS for now and ponder the situation some more.
You were doing awesome, dude! Just clear your mind and focus. Use the force....Quote:

I'm going to do my best to just keep my mouth shut from here on out, as I seem to be doing more harm than good when trying to find the Sith.

Provided everyone who attacked Double A told Chaotix what attacks they were going to use, I'd things are going fine. Chaotix believed he could eliminite Sith candidates from this data and he has it.

Killing his own apprentice on the first night was a bold move and he got away with it. A very decent victory, all considered.
Except she hasn't gotten off scot-free, she got lynched already and is being mentioned as a suspect over and over again, the pressure slowly ramping up, and now she will be voted again, and her behavior hasn't changed.Quote:

That leaves at best 5 people I would be interested in giving a closer look; Chaotix, Nightbringer, Csargo, Seon and Psychonaut. . . And I am not so sure about psychonaut. . he has had an absense from this game which stands out quiet a bit.. and I don't expect that from the sith lord concidering how active both sith were after death... That would be less likely to happen if the sith lord weren't really paying attention to the game.
What about the alternative, Psychonaut?
Man, he's good at this game. He's invisible.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!!!Quote:

I got no PM from Psychonaut AT ALL, and Diana Abnoba claimed she was not able to kill and would protect me- and clearly in the write-up, she did not. Evidently she was not expecting me to be attacked by Double A- and so even though I was wrong about you, Double A, you have been very helpful in your death.
All evidence points to Psychonaut and Diana Abnoba being the Sith, and as Psychonaut is higher in rank, I believe he is more likely to be the Master. I will continue to analyze the write-up and provide a full account of what I can be sure everyone did last night.

ATTENTION:
My previous post had the correct assumptions. Based on the previous night's write-up, including actions and players that died during the phase, I can rule out all players from being Sith except for Psychonaut, Diana Abnoba, and wideyedwanderer.
wideyedwanderer is a special case, as he claimed to have one one night action- and he only attacked with one Form in the write-up. I cannot tell for sure that the Sith attacks each used two night actions, but it seems likely since each one uses a "dark energy field" first. The field doesn't seem to be an attack, though... it could be an active defense of the Sith's. For that reason, and based on the taunts Ironside keeps making, there is something to suggest it is possible there is only one Sith who attacks two different people with one action every night. I deem that to be a slim possibility. Either way, it is likely that wideyedwanderer is innocent, even though I cannot prove it.
Psychonaut did not attack Double A last night, and he did not PM me at all, even when I asked for him plans.
Diana Abnoba PM'd me, saying she could not attack and that she would protect me. I suggested she also protect Diamondeye if possible. It is clear from the write-up she did not protect either of us.
Psychonaut and Diana Abnoba are the Sith. I cannot be sure which is the Master and which is the Apprentice, but Psychonaut's promotions came first, so he is slightly higher in rank and therefore more likely to be the Master.
PLEASE VOTE FOR PSYCHONAUT.
Well that's a silly reason. :beam:Quote:

She is a sure lynch because she lost her force breath (unless she got it again, somehow), and I can't really know that Psychonaut is the Master over her; for all we know she could be the Master.
There is only a problem if she turns out to be the Apprentice. Then Psychonaut can recruit one of you at random and we are back to square one. But that seems as likely as Diana being the Master and recruiting someone when we kill Psychonaut, and we can't even be sure Psychonaut will be lynched today, so...
Unvote, Vote: Diana Abnoba
Let's go with it.
Well.... your vig attack on Psychonaut has to get through his Force Trance power.Quote:

And to say again, just so you know, I started out at the bottom, and very slowly worked up in ranks. I maybe one of the only players that has not killed anyone this whole game, but I also know I haven't had the time to put into this game to really help, so I understand the the votes on me. I will tell you I don't have force breath anymore, so this lynch will go through, and I will see you guys on the other side. But please get Chaotix and Psychonaut tonight!!! Best of luck, to me it doesn't look good.
Vote: Chaotix
I guess that job really did cut down on your note-taking. I know you'd be able to see, from reading the thread, that Chaotix was busy last night and that Psycho is the only other candidate besides you.
I know you're good enough to see it. I have faith in you.
But not to worry, basically everyone I have faith in has gotten fooled by the MASTER Sith berserker, Psycho-sigurd.

Well, town, you got beat. You got beat hard. You got beat hard, fair and square. No shame in it.
Psychonaut beat you all, he truly avoided your scum detection. And, even those I consider highly logical, good analytical people couldn't catch him in a situation I consider 50/50.
Therefore, Psychonaut is most deserving of the coming victory. It would take a miracle to stop him now.
Sasaki? Can you turn their heads?Quote:

As to whether we should target diana or psychonaut first. I say diana because she is less likely to have force breath at this point. Even if she is the apprentice and not the master we need to cut down on the night kills tonight. We can then all try to vig psychonaut tonight, and failing that lynch him.
Hey, you're at least talking about which of the two need to go first instead of assuming it must be Diana.
Congrats.
Amazingly, NO ONE has... very few people ever got it, and those who did didn't use it, and those who did failed because the attack was too powerful to heal.Quote:

So, while I believe Diana is likely Sith and I think she should be lynched, I am not infallible. I went by what the evidence from last night suggested, and it suggested that Psychonaut, Diana, and/or both of them were the only players capable of being the Sith.
Force Healing is a confirmed ability; it is in the Holocron and has several tiers. Actually, in the write-up when Ignoramus/An-wan Dyas died, there was a player who showed up afterwards but didn't do anything; this would fit with Diana's claimed story that she tried to use Force Healing on Ignoramus, but he was killed. If no one else will counter-claim that, then Diana is unlikely to be Sith. However, it should be noted that even if Diana did use Force Healing on Ignoramus, the Apprentice appeared only to use one action in attacking Diamondeye that night. It is possible that even if Diana has Force Healing, she is still a Sith and should not be dropped.
In that case, though, it seems clear that Diana would be the Apprentice and not the Master, though.
Unvote, Vote: Psychonaut
Please vote with me. Diana will be kept under close guard tonight.
PM me if you have a roleblocking ability or are a Dark Jedi.
Chaotix for MVP. He found it.
With 5 hours left, can the Grandmaster lead the Jedi to victory? CAN HE DO IT????
WILL THEY FOLLOW???

And I will reiterate: if I had betrayed the Jedi, you would all be dead already.
I could've picked Initiates and Padawans to kill every night and made sure that they succeeded, just to lower the town's numbers. Instead I picked powerful characters like Joooray, Psychonaut, and Kagemusha to go up against, because I didn't trust them.
I could've told you to sit tight and let the Sith kill you last night; I could've killed two players myself last night and coordinated with the Sith using Kagemusha so that they killed at least two more. Instead I concentrated everybody's actions on one player and monitored them closely, so that there was minimal chaos and we would have a good lynch today.
If I had betrayed you, it wouldn't even look like we stand a chance against the Sith at this point.
:daisy: YES!
To Bane Anded you listen!
I take it back. Leave the neutrals alive, they seem to care more about their own death, enough that they'll try very hard to figure out who the mafia are, so you'll kill them, so they can win.
Neutral = Advanced townie. :bounce:

Also:
I know for a fact this isn't true, you were promoted to Master the same day I was promoted to Knight. Still, there is your roleclaim and a general consensus that Psychonaut is a better lynch. unvote, vote: Psychonaut. Notice how's been quite since the fourteenth.

Holy poop on a stick! 2 hours to go....
I predict a tie will happen though. Kage, Renata, and Psycho can force it up three, and Diana's vote switch would make it 6-6.
I also don't see Double A or Khazaar or Seon or WEW moving their vote. Typically they vote once a round.
But we shall see.

Everything was going fine until Psycho got some pressure. Not enough to guarantee a lynch, either.
Still, Psycho is going to rip this town asunder tonight. Seriously. Sith are going to go nuts killing people.
This is gonna be tight. There's definitely going to be a showdown.

Okay, let's see if the town's luck holds and they actually follow their fearless leader, the dark jedi who murders people to gain MAXIMUM POWA.
Private message from Chaotix:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:My reply:Quote:
<i>"Well, when you stack the odds in one direction, the choice is really quite easy.
Even if I were to be recruited by the Sith, I have found them and outed them to the town. Soon as they die and the game keeps going, the town knows to come after me. And they're already close to lynching me as it is.
And besides, I would let Beskar and Kagemusha take a win? After all that effort I spent killing them? Don't think so.
Don't think this means I am on the town's side, though. If I see my opportunity, I will not hesitate to crush them and take my total victory. Pity they are too weak to kill people and become Dark Jedi themselves to join me; I have no ill will against them, they are just in my way if they choose not to follow my path."</i>
The odds were actually stacked in the other direction, IMO.
See, Chaotix might be able to prove that Psychonaut or Diana is one of the Sith. But, he doesn't have to. He could, instead, help slaughter all the Jedi, let the Sith know he's recruitable (Kagemusha could pass along the message) and if a Sith dies, he just takes their place. Assuming he can keep the lynch off of himself for a round or two, he wins.
Even if he dies. That's the important thing.
If Chaotix becomes Sith, he can win with the Sith even in death.
He cannot become a light-side Jedi at this point. His death is ALWAYS going to be failure for him if he doesn't get recruited by the Sith.
His calculation result comes up different from mine. There is no downside to going Dark Side Enlightenment, and there are upsides.
But, he's playing his character. And this is a valid way to play, too.
See: Me in Capo III. I could have gone evil, but I chose to side with who? The town. Yep, I said it again, I said Capo III again, I know I did, go ahead and call me on it.
Maybe it is worth it to stick with the side you chose. It makes people feel like they can trust you after putting faith in you and seeing your hard work together pay off. Switching sides at the end might be effective in the short term, but such a reputation comes back and bites you.
Not mentioning any names. You know who you are. :wink:

I admit, Diana isn't doing herself any favors. She does look like she's a Sith Apprentice right about now. She kept voting for Chaotix and didn't vote for Psycho.
Then her night actions tonight, trying to kill Nightbringer, only make her look worse. And, she's using a dark side power. Saved her life, but now she's a Dark jedi and a distraction. A vital distraction for the Sith.

If you can stop the Sith's night attacks, by blocking the force breath person, you probably have a Sith. If not, you know they are probably innocent.
It can be useful, but like Force Meld, it is a double-edged sword and can be a hindrance as well.
Many things in this game have their dark sides, pardon the pun.
LOL Renata makes the game entertaining for the game host.Quote:

Sticking up for Diana is so obvious, and yet, it's not what a townie should be doing. Diana is a suspect and there's no reason to defend her at all unless you give the reason which should almost clear her, which is her attempted defenses of Ignoramus when Iggy died, or her vig moves which have failed.
Defending her without those reasons implies perfect information. IMO defending her like this is a bad move, but no one capitalizes on it, and it makes me laugh, so instead, it's simply an unusual move with an exclamation point on the end.
Day Nineteen- The Jedi Sunset
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Diana fails to vig Nightbringer, Nightbringer and Csargo fail to vig Diana, and Chaotix n' friends fail to vig Psychonaut.
The Sith fail to destroy anyone, which is very disappointing. Psycho could have destroyed Seon, who was vulnerable because Psychonaut was not double-Moricho'ed.
Renata could have laid waste to the Jedi with her powers as well, instead they played too defensively and missed a golden opportunity.
But, the upside for them is that Renata is still a ninja. No one suspects her at all. She will be the final Dark Lord of the Sith, as she's been a Sith Lord for 4 nights now, and there's not enough time for her next apprentice to become a Sith Lord, let alone Dark Lord.
Every Sith after Renata will be weak by comparison. She must survive.
Okay, here we go:
No Jedi deaths yesterday and last night is an amazingly good thing.Quote:

You are also now aware, through the holocron, how the healing and revitalize powers work, and you should be able to clear Diana of suspicion.
Csargo should be able to confirm that he's been getting dark side powers too.Quote:

According to Diana, this should be impossible for her, since she claimed to be unable to attack at night. It would also be unlikely for Psychonaut, considering he only attacked once during the night, using only lightsabers, on Kagemusha, and it failed.
Evidence is overwhelming. I do believe we have caught the Sith for sure, now. If I had any doubts yesterday, they have been removed from my mind.
Diana was already on the dark side to start, and she got lynched, which pushed her further in that direction.
There are many ways to gain dark side points. :wink:
Yes, pevergreen is correct.Quote:

Well Psycho is going to die now, but Diana is probably going to get hit tonight and also die, and a Jedi will get converted most likely.
That leaves Chaotix, Renata, her Sith apprentice, and 3 Jedi, two of which are recruitable.
Chaotix and the Jedi need a lucky shot to put this one in the bag.

To the living Jedi-
By now, several of you had the twin saber/force improved vision upgrades, which specifically states that you can use it to see through cloak, whilst twin saber allows simultaneously swinging your saber around like a big manly hero to cut down the evil Sith who like to hide with Cloak.
If you had gone off-script and decided to win the game for yourselves, by guessing correctly who the bad guy was, and hit Renata, the game would practically be over.
Not only that, Chaotix has the necessary detective power to put this game in the bag for the Jedi team and doesn't use it. Why? Because he's not a Jedi, he's a Dark Jedi and he's more concerned with kill kill kill stabby stabby explodey to give two rancor droppings about investigating, because one removes a threat to him and the other gives him information and who needs that when everyone's death besides yours is the best outcome of all?
So, the Jedi team, basically everyone still alive who was still a Jedi, could have gone out that night and attempted to win the game for their team solo by doing a little think for themselves.
Yeah it's risky, and certainly could get you lynched if it doesn't work, and it could blow the game for you, I'm just saying it was an option and it could have led to Jedi victory, as bleak as the circumstances were at this point.
The way I designed this game, victory was always in the Jedi's hands. They always had control over their destiny. It might have been clouded by the dark side but they were still handed the controls and given the opportunity to point and shoot a sith dead. Once the Sith are dead Chaotix has no choice but to get down on his knees and accept an average victory because he's the only thing left that resembles a bad guy.
Ignoramus and Chaotix managed to do that (kill Sith dead), and all of these attempts were incredibly vital for their team's chances, in spite of the drawbacks of occasionally losing a comrade or an ally. Sith would have wasted their allies dead anyway, but there's one thing the Sith won't realistically do at this point which is kill Sith.
Zan Finnay and Bos Dhi Kao were also generally caught through examination of the night actions and vigilante results, which the Jedi had a heavy influence in making.
Renata still didn't have force breath and she was vulnerable to a good shot by someone with a saber and an ability to see through stealth. That's why those guys were in the game; Jedi guardians with the ability to vig kill and see through stealth. they basically suck in all other circumstances because saber defense doesn't usually help against mega-wizard hyper-death blastery and being exploded with a single thought by ridiculously overpowered magic. It also doesn't typically help you block or heal or drain anything, so it has but one purpose: Inflict stabby death on the Sith. Yeah, that might mean risking the game or falling to the Dark Side but there are worse things in this game than taking a chance.
The only one you can trust more than anyone else is yourself, even if you've been dead wrong all game long about anything and everything. That's why even if you ended up being wrong every round for 20 rounds you still have a chance to save the game through persistence. This game was designed to give you a stabby weapon and allow you to win if you swung it enough times. Or at least go out in a blaze of Jedi glory with the psshhhhhhh vwooooom vwooooom kish kish vwooooom and the killing and stabbing and the saber battling and the more saber battling and the all-powerful Force hoyvin-glavin!
Ordinarily good logic but "it can't hurt" stops being true when it does.Quote:

Nontheless I would think that this result doesn´t fit well with her defense, so lynching her can´t hurt.
Still I can't blame anyone, the knowledge about her force healing alibi remained tightly in Dark Jedi control and Chaotix didn't use that knowledge to clear her. She was legitimately a suspect because she could have been recruited, yes. It made sense....
Unfortunately it made too much sense and was also not the right move. These things happen, the game can still be salvaged by any faction. Renata is exceedingly vulnerable.
To be fair they also threw a lot of punches. But who wants to see Jedi fighting without the Force or Saber? It's a bunch of dorks pretending to be kickboxers at that point.Quote:
Originally Posted by YaropolkIt's only about 20,000 words if you take out all references to roundhouse kicks.
These were only necessary because the plot often required ending a battle in a non-lethal manner and Jedi fleeing all the time just didn't seem natural.
So Chaotix' plan goes off without a hitch, and Diana is thrown to the wolves and makes a good show of it before being sliced to bits and blown into oblivion.
Notice how Diana has force improved vision and the ability to attack with a saber; even here on her final night she could have personally defeated Renata herself as well, or at least exposed her.
I don't blame anyone for not doing it, just pointing out it was possible.
On to the final chance for the Jedi to put up a good fight.
Day Twenty- One minute before midnight
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:You do, but that's because all light side Jedi have been eradicated besides Nightbringer, ironically enough, and Chaotix, who is only non-recruitable because he chose light side enlightenment. Not that the Sith ever seemed to consider recruiting him as far as I can remember. It was never really an option after Renata was recruited though.Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowThe whole basis of killing people in the right order was that it was unlikely that recruitment could occur immediately following the death of the Sith Master. I do not think we need to worry about recruitment just yet.
It was possible for all the dark side Jedi to be wiped out leaving the final Apprentice utterly crippled at the end, but the light siders kept getting lynched and murdered, which kept the Sith faction in play.
The Holocron plus being alive and using certain powers all the time gave Chaotix the best perspective on the game. He was a useful resource when he was worried about getting canned by the Jedi for being halfway evil and stuff.Quote:
Originally Posted by ChaotixI found that this reasoning was false a while ago.
Juyo 2/Double-bladed Lightsaber is only a lightsaber form and works just like any other form, except it is Dark Side.

Either Niman 2 or Ataru 2 is needed for 2-lightsaber combat. The first form Diana used was Juyo 2, as evident in her defense as well. The second form was Makashi, and she was fighting Seon, who is the only other player with a Turquoise lightsaber.
Diana performed both attacks.
A bit overconfident here but the underlying premise is good.Quote:
Originally Posted by ChaotixThe Sith did not attack Seon. Diana attacked Seon, as evident by the Turquoise lightsaber. She was Dark Jedi.
The Sith Apprentice, whoever it is, acted completely according to my instructions last night in order to blend in. He didn't need to attack, because he knew there would be at least one Jedi killed anyway. His best option for the rest of this game is to blend and hope I somehow miss him. However, my powers and process of elimination say I will kill him sooner or later.
There's some good reasoning here, as it puts Renata back in play as a legitimate suspect.Quote:
Originally Posted by TinCowAlright, ATPG's latest reply convinces me I'm barking up the wrong tree and that Chaotix is correct that Diana did both attacks. So, no one should be cleared as a result of last night's attacks.
Going back to the day phase when Psychonaut was lynched the first time, it was a close run vote between him and Diana. Given how close that vote was, I find it unlikely that the Sith Apprentice would have voted for his own master right there. Of the living, Chaotix made the case that got Psycho lynched, and Nightbringer's vote untied it and got Psycho lynched. So, I doubt either Chaotix or Nightbringer are the Apprentice.
Of the remaining four, Seon and WEW voted for Diana, and Renata and Csargo did not vote. Of those four, Seon's posts are the most scummy in hindsight. After Chaotix made his case on Psycho, Seon was the only person who expressed active disbelief at the vote on Psycho. In that post, Seon says he thinks Diana is 100% Sith, but then the next night he roleblocks Psycho instead? That's not consistent. Looks like an attempt to use the death of the Sith Master as a way to 'clear' the Sith Apprentice.
It's also a bit odd that Seon was able to successfully roleblock the very powerful Sith Master, but failed to roleblock a far less powerful Dark Jedi Master. Seon may not even have the ability to roleblock at all, Psycho could have just refrained from killing to set up Seon as innocent.
Lynch Seon.
Seon's actions are hard to explain, and like Diana, he makes for the perfect townie-attention-trap.
Seon falls victim to most obvious suspect syndrome.Quote:
Originally Posted by SeonTruthfully, as much as I want to now, I cannot. I can only say that I tried roleblocking Diana Abnoba and drained away her Force Cloak. But as somebody pointed out, you only have my word to back me up. It all works so perfectly, you see, Chaotix. Of course Seon's guilty, he's the only one who didn't attack and wasn't shown in the writeup! And what would any Sith do in these night? Of course he would try and recruit somebody! That's what Seon was doing in the night. Because it works so perfectly, Chaotix, I am not even going to bother to defend myself. It's a perfect case, and the Sith totally deserves my death.
I knew it was coming when I realized Diana was innocent anyways.
It's really hard to fight it once the town decides you are the obvious bad guy. Especially once they're confident after wiping out a Dark Lord of the Sith through similar obvious reasoning.
There's not much else to say, I mean what would you do here? There's no reason to suspect Renata or WEW over anyone else at this point, so why not go with what seems logical?
It's still possible for the Jedi to save the game, but now they're relying on Chaotix to not slay them in order for that to happen. Chaotix doesn't seem like the type to avoid pressing the kill button, especially after it has gotten him this far and Jedi nor Sith have really punished him for it.
Except several Jedi, several Sith, leading lynches on Jedi and Sith and even other Neutrals, and also climbing to the top of this pile of corpses to become Supreme Grandmaster and openly declaring his neutrality to the town and "you-can't-recruit-me"-ness to the Sith, basically waving a red flag at a pair of murderous bulls that says KILL ME but both teams are too busy killing each other to bother.Quote:

In that, he's done very well.

Preview of Night Twenty:
Chaotix chooses Force Destruction on Renata, the one attack as far as I can tell that she can't block unless someone besides her uses Morichro on Chaotix. That means the Sith's best hopes go down the toilet tonight unless Chaotix ALSO dies, which is conceivable if Renata uses Morichro and one of her best attacks and WEW uses choke and scream on Chaotix. He can't survive all of that, which means he dies, Renata dies, and probably at least one townie dies to to the vigilantism that's about to happen, leaving 1 townie and 1 sith to be decided by the force ghosts, Jedi victory.
Or, the townie ends up falling neutral and then it becomes a possible joint solo victory and Sith victory for the remaining two people.
Or, Chaotix could change his mind.
Or, the Sith could wipe out everyone besides Chaotix and WEW and they could agree to share the victory.
Which makes me giggle because Chaotix can just say no and shoot them in the face.
Unless Chaotix dies, he wins here outright, I believe.
And rightly so. Sith and Jedi have had 20 rounds to get rid of him and he's been a known neutral vigilante with a lovely goal of simply getting rid of the competition and learning to use the Dark Side which has ended up killing both Jedi and Sith so both groups have had reason to knock him off this mortal coil but decided to keep him around because he's dark and brooding and goth and powerful and useful..... ah yes, just like Vader was very useful to the Emperor before he turned his back on him and then Vader quite literally "shafted" him by tossing him down a.... well you get the idea, let's not labor the joke.
Bane Anded is Darth Vader. Conflicted, sort-of-good, mostly evil, means well, but ends up destroying just about everything he ever loved just so he could become the most powerful Jedi ever and rule the galaxy as father and..... clone army I guess.
Only in this version, Vader looks like he's going to win. Good luck, galaxy!
Here, you fail to lynch WEW or Renata so that's all she wrote, really, regarding the town's chances, unless something extraordinary happens in the next 19 hours.
Edit: Nope. That's all she wrote.
Renata goes down to an unblockable attack (unblockable because she lacks the proper defense) and the Sith did not do an all-out assault on Chaotix. They are now at his mercy, and I don't figure Chaotix to be a guy who does the whole mercy thing.
And a Jedi goes down as well, leaving Chaotix, Nightbringer, and WEW. The Sith has no Force Ghost. Here, Chaotix can force a victory by making a pact with the Jedi, and then lynching WEW. But he doesn't have to settle, he could make a pact with the Sith, and score victory by double-teaming Nightbringer tonight.
But he doesn't have to do that either. If he is not lynched Day 21, there's nothing that can be done. Flawless victory.

Wall of the Commentary
Episode IV: Not even close to being done yet
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:Link to the spreadsheet which indicates which attack is good versus which defense.
CLICK HERE.
Explanation:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:(W) Means this defense (horizontal) will ALWAYS win against the specified attack (vertical). If using Judgment, the move will also succeed as a defense as well as an attack.
(L) Means this defense will ALWAYS lose against the specified attack
(-) Means this will have no effect, or I was lazy and I didn't put an L there. Basically the same thing as L.
(Rank) Means I have to check the rank of the attacker versus the rank of the defender, and take into account passive boosts to rank and possibly saber form as well. If the rank of the defender matches or exceeds the rank of the attacker, the defense works. If the rank of the attacker exceeds the rank of the defender, the defense fails.
(Absorb) Means that the user of the move (Judgment) will not only perform an attack against someone, but Judgment will also act as a defensive move. In this case, it will also succeed as a defense and also learn the dark side attack in question.
(Counter) Means that the user of the move (Judgment) will not only perform an attack against someone, but Judgment will also act as a defensive move. In this case, it will also succeed as a defense and also learn the dark side attack in question AND use it against the person who performed the move, simultaneously.
(30%) Means that the person with Art of Movement has a 30% chance of not dying due to saber, orb I, or lightning I.
(Add 1) Means that the defense or passive ability boosts your rank by 1 against sabers.
(Reflect) Means that this saber form will reflect the attack back at the attacker.
(Form) Means that this defense is a saber form, and you must consult the saber combat chart to determine effectiveness. Highest rank wins.

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...enance-001.png
Supreme Grandmaster Bane Anded vanished into thin air, right before Gith Ranay's eyes.
Thinking quickly, Ranay ignited both of his green lightsabers and stood in the advanced Niman stance. He concentrated hard, and used his knowledge of Improved Force Vision to locate the Grandmaster.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...tsaberlime.png
Gith Ranay: "It's over, Anded! The Sith have been destroyed. We've both survived this terrible atrocity. There's no need for further bloodshed."
Silence.
Gith Ranay: "You'll be forgiven by the Jedi Order for using Dark Side powers, and forgiven for all the accidental deaths of the Jedi. We couldn't have stopped the Sith without your help. You're to be commended. Come out of hiding, I just want to talk to you!"
As he looked around with improved force vision, he could not locate the cloaked Grandmaster. This was no ordinary cloak.... it was perfect. There was no force signature; it was as if Bane Anded didn't even exist. A few moments passed, and Gith Ranay sensed something faint to his right, so he swung blindly, trying to strike down the phantom. Either Bane had moved out of the way, or he had used an advanced mind trick to give a false force signature for a brief moment.
Bane Anded: "I do not believe you, for obvious reasons."
Gith Ranay: "I don't want to harm you, Bane... I am concerned that you're just going to destroy me as well. You've become obsessed with power. Don't you see how dangerous it is? You can be forgiven, but you must stop using these dark side powers. They will only twist your mind and fill your heart with distrust and fear. You must let go of the dark side, and rejoin the light."
Bane Anded: "I will not weaken myself just so I can conform to the ignorant Jedi Code. I am the Grandmaster, I am changing the rules. Dark Jedi will be permitted while I am the Grandmaster, and knowledge of the Dark Side will not be suppressed and censored. The Force has chosen me, and I have chosen a new direction. Either the Jedi Order will follow me, or they will be destroyed."
Gith Ranay: "You're a very special person, Bane. You have strength where others do not. You might be able to handle the Dark Side, at least for a while, but others cannot handle it; they will be turned to evil and they will turn against one another. You've seen it happen, Bane. All your friends are gone! Some of them by your own hand. We can't allow Jedi to fall to the Dark Side and be corrupted by it. A Jedi like yourself doesn't come along every day, you must realize that others who try to follow in your footsteps will only destroy themselves, and innocent people will be caught up in the spiral of death and destruction. If you allow the Dark Side to flow freely throughout the Jedi Order, it will consume and destroy us all. You can't do it, Bane. I know you care about us too much to allow that to happen!"
Bane Anded: "Don't you realize that there wouldn't even be a Jedi Order if I hadn't thrown off the foolish restrictions demanded of me? Don't you realize that the lives of one trillion people down on that planet owe their continued existence to me? Your reinforcements won't arrive in time to save the planet from the imminent invasion. Only I can stop the Sith. It is my destiny, and I won't be shackled by a weak and impotent Jedi Council. We're going to do things MY WAY, or I will cast you out of the Jedi Order."
Gith Ranay: "The Jedi won't comply; they know the code, and our fallen comrades did not give their lives just so that thousands more will be corrupted by darkness. You are exceptional, Bane, the other Jedi can't go where you want to lead them. They'll ask you to relinquish control of the Order and give it to me."
Bane Anded: "Others will understand what I am doing, and they will follow. Enough will follow that it won't matter if I have to expel the rest of the Jedi."
Gith Ranay: "What you're talking about, Bane, is starting a war between Jedi. That's not what you want, that's not what I want. Please, I beg of you.... forget everything that's happened, and give up control of the Jedi Council. You can go off on your own, I won't stop you, and the Jedi won't bother you. Everything will be fine."
Bane Anded: ".....I'm not going anywhere, Ranay. You cannot be the next Grandmaster, not while I draw breath. You're weak, Ranay... you couldn't stop the Sith, and you can't stop me either. I cannot allow the power that I have and the knowledge I hold to be given to someone who has three weeks of experience being a Jedi. You're not mature enough to handle this kind of power. And if you think you can remove me from power, you're going to have to do a whole lot better than swinging your little toy saber around."
Gith Ranay: "Listen to yourself, Bane! I don't want power for myself, I just want you to realize that your teachings are inconsistent with those of the Jedi Order. Instead of starting a war and trying to force your will on others, just accept that you're different, and have a different destiny. We can stop this conflict before it starts, if only you would make that small concession. Don't think of the Jedi Order as your soldiers to command, we are your colleagues. We are asking you to step down."
Bane Anded: "YOU are asking me to. This isn't a democracy. I am the most experienced and powerful and wise Jedi remaining, and you will do as I say, or I will ask you to leave."
Gith Ranay: "You're going down a path I cannot follow. I'm sorry, Bane, but I can't abandon Coruscant, and I cannot abandon my duties. You're going against the Jedi Code, and I can't do that either. I'm not leaving."
Bane Anded: "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy. If you will not obey my commands, then you are cast out of the Jedi Order. You are now a trespasser on this starship. This is your final warning. Don't make me destroy you."
Gith Ranay: "I can't do that, Bane. I see now that the Dark Side has twisted you completely. Someone has to stop you. I will do what I must."
Bane Anded: "You will try...."

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/pSwy412nttI?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/pSwy412nttI?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>
Thinking quickly, Gith Ranay unleashed a massive blast of Force Whirlwind in the direction of the sound of Bane Anded's voice. Anded was blown through the giant hole in the ship left by Darth Kojiro, and disappeared down into the Main Turbolift shaft. Gith quickly followed.
Suddenly, alarms started going off, indicating that one of the main engine reactors was losing plasma containment. With no one making repairs to the ship and systems being slowly destroyed one by one, and with the engines already damaged from Darth Sigurd's attempt on Bane's life, it was only a matter of minutes before the lower decks would be flooded with plasma hot enough to melt the ship's superstructure.
Ranay needed to find Anded, and quickly. But Bane was able to project false images of himself in the Force, making the search almost impossible for Ranay. He concentrated and reached out with the Force, and doubled his strength and speed. It was necessary to hunt down all the false signatures as quickly as possible, and find the true force signature. That's where Bane would be hiding.
After several minutes, Ranay turned a corner, and was shocked to find Anded swinging his purple sabers. Quickly, Ranay defended himself, and tried to hold off the awesome power of this being. Even after meditating, and looking into the future, Ranay's vision was clouded, and could not anticipate Bane Anded's movements. A dark aura surrounded Bane, and he became barely visible. He was half-cloaked, and swinging the saber so fast that it was impossible to track with an unaided eye.
More alarms went off, and several of the blast doors engaged, sealing off several compartments. There was a loud explosion which rocked the ship, and soon, molten plasma began filling these compartments. Before too long, the blast doors began glowing red, and started to warp and expand, threatening to give way.
Ranay continued battling the Supreme Grandmaster, trying to hold back the blinding fury of the purple sabers. The blast doors failed, and the compartment began filling with deadly warp plasma. It was all Ranay could do to perform a backwards force-assisted somersault through the destroyed upper deck, just in time to avoid being killed by the searing hot plasma. Bane had vanished, and appeared on the opposite side of the damaged corridor. He unleashed Force Lightning, but Ranay dashed down the corridor too quickly to be hit by the blast. Bane performed a force jump and reached the other side, and vanished again.
The lower compartment had almost filled completely with plasma, and was now melting the deck that they were standing on. The structure of the ship groaned as the outer hull threatened to buckle, and the upper decks threatened to crush the lower decks. Ranay turned another corner, and Anded was there, and they continued the fight. Ranay was tiring, but he did his best to hold his own against the clearly superior Grandmaster.
Proximity alarms went off.
WARNING. UNIDENTIFIED STARFLEET HAS ENTERED THE CORUSCANT SYSTEM. DEFENSIVE SHIELDS ENGAGED. INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM UNIDENTIFIED CRAFT.
Unknown: "Lord Kojiro, we await your orders to begin orbital bombardment. Please respond."
Gith Ranay: "Do you hear that, Bane? The invasion fleet has arrived. We've got to stop them!"
Bane Anded: "Computer, deploy automated drone fighters.
.....Now, get off my ship, traitor!"
Gith Ranay: "The Sith are going to destroy Coruscant! This is too important!"
Bane Anded: "I should have known you would disobey my orders. You're just as bad as the Sith!"
Gith Ranay: "Grandmaster, the Sith are evil!"
Bane Anded: "From my point of view, you're just as evil as they are."
Gith Ranay: "Then you are lost!"
Bane Anded: "YOU ARE A FOOL, AND YOU WILL DIE A FOOL'S DEATH!!!"
With that, Bane Anded unleashed a massive Force Storm, as his eyes began to glow with power.
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...ForceStorm.png
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/...uscantcopy.jpg
Unknown: "Lord Kojiro, respond, or we will open fire!"
Bane Anded: "Computer, open a channel to the flagship of their fleet.... This is Kojiro. I order you to stand down, commander. Everything is under control. I have captured the Penance, and I am deploying additional units to prepare for the final assault."
Unknown: "But, my lord... drone fighters won't be able to assist in the orbital bombardment..."
Bane Anded: "YOU HAVE MY ORDERS. OBEY THEM OR DIE."
Unknown: "Who is this, really? Submit the proper identification codes and establish visual contact."
Bane Anded: "Close channel. Computer, access Zan Finnay's encrypted files, search for operational command codes for the Coruscant assault."
The charred body of Gith Ranay began to stir.
Bane Anded: "Why can't you be a good boy and DIE???"
With that, Bane Anded began screaming triumphantly, and generated a powerful sonic blast, knocking Ranay against the outer hull of the ship. He raised his hands and concentrated the dark beam, multiplying the power and focus of the beam exponentially.
Bane Anded: "THIS IS THE END FOR YOU, RANAY!!!"
Bane unleashed Force Destruction, obliterating the last of the Jedi in one final moment of hatred.

Bane Anded: "Commander, this is your final warning. You will obey my orders or I will have you relieved of duty. I won't have my assault on Coruscant undermined by insubordination. The keyword is Vengeance, and I'm sending you the command codes now."
Unknown: "I will also need to establish visual contact, my lord. Forgive me, but I do not recognize your voice."
Bane Anded: "Of course, commander. I will establish visual contact now. I'm heading to the command center of the ship, we will speak there. Computer, close channel."
CHANNEL CLOSED
Bane Anded: "Computer, distance to location of last transmission"
10,000 KILOMETERS AND CLOSING
Bane Anded: "Arm all weapons systems. Prepare to fire on my command. Time until drone squadron intercepts enemy fleet?"
2 MINUTES, 12 SECONDS. WARNING, REACTOR 2 IS ABOUT TO GO CRITICAL.
Bane Anded: "Are the ejection systems still online?"
NEGATIVE. ALL SECONDARY SYSTEMS ARE OFFLINE.
Bane Anded: "Fine, I'll eject it myself."
Reaching out with the Force, Bane Anded tore the entire section that housed the second engine reactor from the rest of the ship, sending it hurtling into space. The ship experienced massive power outages, and several integrity fields went offline.
WARNING. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPROMISED ON DECKS 20-28, ENGINEERING SECTION. INTEGRITY FIELDS ON DECKS 12, 13, 14, 15...
Bane Anded: "Computer, discontinue audio warning. Reroute emergency power to decks one through five. Take life support systems and containment fields offline on decks 6 through 52, reroute that power to shields and weapons systems. Distance to enemy fleet?"
5,000 KILOMETERS AND CLOSING
Bane Anded: "Status of drone squadron?"
INTERCEPT IN 45 SECONDS
Bane Anded: "Computer, standby on the following command sequence: order all drone units to engage sub-light engines at maximum. Have each drone set an intercept course with each enemy starship. Simultaneously fire all forward weapons batteries at maximum firepower, and target the closest ship to the Penance. Execute command Penance on my orders."
WARNING- INTERCEPT COURSE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. DO YOU WISH TO DISENGAGE?
Bane Anded stepped into the turbolift that would take him to the command center of the ship.
Bane Anded: "Negative. Override all safety protocols, authorization Anded-2-3-4-1-Epsilon. Enable. "
INCOMING TRANSMISSION
Unknown: "This is your final warning, whoever you are. If I cannot establish visual contact with Lord Kojiro, I will be forced to open fire."
Bane Anded: "Patience commander. Your loyalty will soon be rewarded. I am almost at the command center, standby."
DRONE UNITS HAVE INTERCEPTED THEIR TARGETS
Bane stepped off the turbolift and entered the command deck.
Bane Anded: "Computer, establish visual contact with the enemy flagship."
Sith Fleet Commander: "Lord Kojiro? Is that you?"
Bane Anded's features were hidden by the cloak he wore. He ignited the red lightsaber he had taken from the body of Darth Abnoba.
Bane Anded: Yes, commander. It is I, Darth Kojiro. I regret to inform you that Lord Sigurd and Lord Fermanagh did not survive, but the rest of the Jedi Order has been purged from the ship. We have sustained damage. I need repair crews over here immediately. Drop your shields and prepare to send over 15 shuttles with repair teams. Then we will begin the assault."
Sith Fleet Commander: "Yes.... my Lord. At once. Drop shields and send over a repair crew. I must ask you to remove your cloak, so I can be certain it is you, my Lord."
Bane Anded: "Of course, commander. Look into the eyes of the man who conquered the Jedi, and never forget. I am Lord Bane, Supreme Commander of the Dark Jedi Empire! And now, you too will experience the full power of the Dark Side!"
Sith Fleet Commander: "Fire all weapons, and raise shields imme-"
Bane Anded: "Computer, Execute command Penance!"
Immediately, all of the drone fighters powered up their sub-light engines to maximum, and intercepted the enemy fleet at near-light speed. The small craft managed to penetrate most of the enemy defenses before they could raise their shields, and dozens of warships were blown to pieces. The few ships which managed to raise their shields in time, or had never lowered them to begin with, mostly survived the resulting chain of explosions and shockwaves. The Penance opened up all batteries, inflicting massive punishment on the Sith Invasion Fleet, decimating all star ships whose shields had been compromised.
Bane Anded: "YOU WILL NOT TAKE CORUSCANT FROM ME!! THIS IS MY WORLD!! You will surrender your fleet to me, or you will be destroyed!"
What remained of the enemy fleet returned fire, pummeling the Penance with an incredible amount of firepower. The shields immediately began to buckle.
Bane Anded: "Computer, prepare a shuttle, and set course for Coruscant on my command. Continue firing all forward batteries, and prepare to set a collision course with the nearest warship on my orders."
WARNING: ALL MAIN REACTORS ABOUT TO GO CRITICAL. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AT 9 PERCENT AND FALLING
As the ship rocked from the heavy fire and the massive explosions all around the ship, Bane entered the main turbolift and headed for the nearest shuttle bay.
Bane Anded's shuttle landed on the surface, just in time to see the Penance engage its remaining engines and crash into one of the Sith warships. The engines breached, and much of the sky lit up from the resulting explosion, which took out half of the remaining attack fleet.
Surface-to-Space defense systems had been activated, and ion cannons from the surface began firing at the orbiting ships. The bombardment of the surface had begun, and enemy bombers and fighters descended into the atmosphere.
Elsewhere on the surface, Sith Assassins had landed, to take control of the government and military installations. Several assassins advanced on the Jedi Temple.
Bane Anded reached out with the Force, and concentrated on the Sith Warships in orbit. Concentrating hard, the Supreme Grandmaster pulled the ship out of orbit and tore its engines from its hull, sending it hurtling down toward the planet.
Dropships began landing, deploying Assault Infantry and more Sith Assassins.
The Battle for Coruscant had begun. With the loss of the Penance, there was no way to turn back the Sith Invasion Force. However, the Supreme Grandmaster would not give up Coruscant so easily. After taking care of the ships in orbit, Bane would turn the tables on the Sith invaders.... and the hunters would become the hunted.
How much damage would they be able to inflict before it was over? Could the Sith become entrenched in the heart of the Republic? Would more invasion forces arrive, which even Bane Anded would be powerless to stop?
