| Jesper AltaxBe careful where you walk, Jedi. The path of the dark side intersects with that of the light at many crossroads. This is the Noetikon of Secrets. We are the Masters who have seen the darkness and turned back to the light.Barsen'thorThe other two Noetikons told me you might know something about a Jedi plague. But I'm surprised the order would preserve such dangerous secrets.Bastila ShanDo not be. Having succumbed to the lure of the dark side, we have greater respect for its pull. We would not claim to be immune, but we have come out stronger for our trials.ChammaBut also, we are only imprints, programs with traces of personality. Neither dark nor light have any sway over us now.Bastila ShanIf the Noetikon of Science and the Noetikon of Light had no answers, what makes you think we can help? We are neither doctors nor healers.ChammaPatience, Bastila. What she means, Jedi, is that for you to consult us, this illness must be remarkable indeed.Bastila ShanYes, I'm sorry. Tell us what you know about this illness, and we will see what we can find.Barsen'thorThere's this one phrase.... Yuon keeps repeating the words, "the darkness is coming."It started back on Tython, but we didn't know Yuon was ill until she collapsed.Jesper AltaxYou were right to consult us. It was only those things eliminated by the other Noetikons that put us on track....ChammaIt's an illness the Jedi have seen before, one created by an ancient Sith named Terrak Morrhage. He used it to turn Jedi to the dark side by the hundreds and leech their strength from them. In this way, he waged war on the Jedi.Barsen'thorBut Yuon's the only one who's fallen ill.ChammaAccording to the records, Morrhage's plague spread gradually as well.Barsen'thorHow was he defeated?ChammaA Jedi healer, whose sacrifice, unlike his name, has not been forgotten, developed a shielding technique to release Morrhage's hold on his victims.Bastila ShanOne by one, the healer cut Morrhage off from his army, the source of his strength.Jesper AltaxEach time he used the technique, however, it cost him some of his own strength.ChammaBy the time the battle was won, the healer was weakened beyond the point of recovery. He sacrificed his life to save the Jedi Order.Barsen'thorIs it possible for someone to learn this technique?Jesper AltaxThe ritual is recorded in an ancient terminal in the Jedi Temple. Learning it will require the combined knowledge of all the Noetikons. If you are thinking of learning the technique, Jedi, I would caution you - powers such as these weigh heavily on those who wield them.Bastila ShanBut it seems your Master doesn't have time for caution. For your Master to survive, you must go to the Jedi Temple and learn the ritual as soon as possible.Barsen'thorI will go there as soon as possible.ChammaThen we will do our best to help you learn the technique. Take all three Noetikons to the terminal in the temple and activate them. We will teach you what you must know. Later, others may learn the technique as well - but for now, time is of the essence. |
