The Dark Academy on Korriban

"And there are times for peace and growth. Times when symbiosis forms a stronger bond than conflict. Which in turn can indeed lead to conflict and greater strength... but these things aren't constants. They ebb and flow. Truth is not universal in my view... it is situational." He replied.

"Whenever something grows it devours something else. It may not be readily and visibly violent, but a tree devours the corpse buried under it just as surely as I do the flesh of animals. During a time of peace atrophy sets in and we become weaker, unless we find internal ways to create conflict and maintain our edge. They are all ever present." Zeno doesn't seem upset or angry, more excited than anything.

"Gentlemen, are you not interested in downgrading this debate to seeking some practical outcomes of the situation? I still wonder where is that other holocron. And whether Master Hazzan could actually be less philosophical and more... helpful."

"Baesal didn't tell you?" he asks, a bit surprised. "I thought you'd know where the other holocron is." He looks to Baesal with a cheeky grin, shaking his head slowly. "You and your secrets."

Sylvain shrugged, "To me the circumstances matter. Order and stability can create strength. So can conflict."

He then nodded to Moyr's suggestion, "What is it you'd like to ask him then?"

Baesal raised an eyebrow with the rest of her expression seeming colder towards the half-blood then before

''What secret?''

"The location of the other holocron Lord Hazzan made. You were there when I asked Gyn and Lady Zash got the coordinates," he says.

Baesal looks confused for a second then realises it

''Oh blast...that is right.''

I was so anxious I forgot...wait, I told Moyr

''But I did tell Moyr...I guess we had more pressing matters. Its not like my last few days were peaceful''

"They have been hectic. Natural to forget such things," he says with a shrug and a smirk.

"Well there's that question answered."

Master Hazzan says, “Is there anything else you need from me?”

OOC: Flipping a Destiny for reasons.

Slyvain looked around one last time for questions before taking the Holocron in his hand, preparing to shut it down.

''Would it be possible to learn what you have from your studies about the interactions of the force with living structures? Not now but mayhaps later?''

That could be real useful

"Yes. I would like to know more of your apprentice. Tell us about Gyn Hothe," he says. "Her studies and capabilities."

"Of course, I enjoy sharing my knowledge," the holocron replies.

“That is a rather large question but succinctly I took her on as she was a natural talent with the lightsaber and well skilled at putting her Force talents to use in martial matters. She did not appreciate my change of heart and I do believe it may have lead to her taking my life. I do hope that perhaps she found peace in her elder days,” the holocron replies.

"Would it comfort you to know that she suggested destroying the location of your other holocron?" He asks. "Didn't stop us from getting the information from her but she apparently had doubts about it as well." That was surprisingly... humane?

Baesal nods

''Yes, she might have had a change of heart''

“There is always hope,” he says calmly.

“Thank you.”

''My pleasure'' she replies before turning to the others

''Two questions: any one else got one to ask? And who will keep the Holocron?''

"She did still seem to be devoted to the dark, but the ritual itself she felt was an extremely bad thing. You built something powerful with that one. Other than your tomb here on Korribon, did you have any other caches or locations of interest on this planet? Or on any others where you stored anything of value?"

"Unless you are all willing to learn how to activate the Holocron, I wonder if it would be better left with me? You'd have access whenever you'd like. Just give me a call." He said with a smile.

“In the end, this was all I needed,” he says warmly.

Baesal looked not quite keen with this idea

''Well...I'd prefer if it was either with me or Moyr. I will learn to use it if needs be.''

"It was all you needed in the end, but what of before that?" He asks. "No relics or weapons tucked away that you did not revisit? While peace and simplicity is all you needed, we've got a bit more struggle to deal with. Anything you might recall could help us survive our training. After all, if we don't survive there is no way for us to be redeemed..."

"I'm fine with Sylvain holding onto it. But if you two are uncomfortable with that maybe he has something of collateral that he'd give up while he holds it?"

“Not on Korriban, I did store things off world, I can outline some caches but given the time scale they may not be secure,” he says calmly.

"Our careers may not end her at the academy so may as well be prepared for possible opportunities in the future," he says with a shrug. He looks to the others, "Right?"
