Arca JethThe fractal structure requires that it be removed from the-Vandar TokareWith all respect, Master Arca, you are incorrect. The structure only appears fractal. If you view it through the lens of the Force....Tharis OrneI don't suppose either of you is going to move past your petty geometrical squabble long enough to notice we have a visitor.Barsen'thorSorry to disturb such illustrious Masters, but I am in need of information.Tharis OrneNo need to apologize, Jedi. They have a tendency to get carried away. The last person to use the Noetikon got so tired of hearing these two yammer he shut us down. It was a mercy.Arca JethWait, Master Tharis. Where is the Jedi Temple? We seem to have been moved.Barsen'thorThe temple has been destroyed, and its contents ransacked. Awareness, personality... I've seen similar holograms, but nothing as sophisticated as this Noetikon.Vandar TokareIt is more like a virtual intelligence than a holographic recording. Master Tharis developed it.Tharis OrneYou are too generous, Master Vandar. It was Master Arca who implemented my sketches.Arca JethIt seems much has changed since we were last activated, and not for the better.Barsen'thorThe Jedi Temple was not the only thing hit, and the Jedi have had their hands full rebuilding Coruscant.Vandar TokareI understand. Difficult times require difficult choices.Barsen'thorMasters, I've come seeking help for my own Master, Yuon Par. She's suffering a mysterious illness.Vandar TokareHow terrible. Come, tell us her symptoms. Perhaps we can help.Arca JethSo she claims "the darkness is coming," and talks of someone called "Parkanas." And her mind is most affected... hmm.Tharis OrneI'm afraid we've plied our extensive knowledge of biological, chemical and technological diseases, but this illness is beyond us.Barsen'thorWhere do we go from here?Vandar TokareSometimes knowledge comes through ruling out false ideas.Arca JethFor once, Master Vandar and I agree. Yuon's illness is definitely not medical. But we have accessed files that bear cross-checking. If you can find the Noetikon of Light, where Masters Noab, Nomi and Wole guard the Jedi Order's mystical knowledge, they may be able to help.Barsen'thorI appreciate your advice.Arca JethI'm sorry we couldn't have been of more help - but it's difficult without the other parts of the Noetikon.Vandar TokareFind the Noetikon of Light and seek your answer there. May the Force be with you - and remember, if you seek answers, you must always ask questions. |
