    Noab Hulis
    Welcome, Jedi. It is wonderful to see a face so young pursuing knowledge of the light. You honor us.
    Barsen'thor
    My Master, Yuon Par, is very sick. I'm looking for a way to help her.
    Noab Hulis
    How terrible that your occasion for consulting us is so tragic. This is the Noetikon of Light. We are the Masters who devoted their lives to mystical and historical studies.
    Wole Vahn
    If you seek learning, we will aid you as best as we can.
    Nomi Sunrider
    Tell us what you know of this affliction, and we will scour our combined knowledge for an answer....
    ...
    Nomi Sunrider
    This is most unusual.
    Noab Hulis
    And very troubling.
    Wole Vahn
    We've searched our considerable knowledge, and compared data from the Noetikon of Science.
    Nomi Sunrider
    This illness you've described - it's more like a kind of mind control.
    Barsen'thor
    How could anyone control the mind of such a powerful Jedi?
    Nomi Sunrider
    Our understanding of the matter is limited. We truly wish we could be of more help.
    Wole Vahn
    It's most like the Jedi trick of persuading weak minds through the Force, except Yuon's tormenter is distant, and her mind hardly weak.
    Barsen'thor
    If someone is doing this to her, how would we locate them?
    Nomi Sunrider
    Well, you could ask-
    Wole Vahn
    No! Nomi! You can't be serious!
    Noab Hulis
    What is the matter, Master Wole? I think Nomi Da-Boda knows best of all of us.
    Wole Vahn
    I don't dispute her wisdom, but the Noetikon of Secrets is the gateway to dark things. If the mind is not properly prepared to face them--
    Barsen'thor
    I will use caution, Master Wole.
    Wole Vahn
    I suppose we don't really have any other options, do we?
    Barsen'thor
    I'll be fine.
    Wole Vahn
    You see what I mean?
    Noab Hulis
    Have compassion, you've heard this Jedi's cause. The Noetikon of Secrets is not dark, though some of its secrets are.
    Go. Bring what we have discovered to the Noetikon of Secrets. Its Masters will guide you.

    Chamma
    This is it--the database where the ritual that can shield your Master from the plague is kept.
    Vandar Tokare
    A stellar work, one part computer, one part holocron. Truly ingenious.
    Noab Hulis
    Masters, you know why we've gathered.
    Chamma
    The Jedi Order is imperiled by an ancient plague - one that warps the minds of even the wisest of Masters and turns them to the dark side.
    Nomi Sunrider
    This young Jedi has stepped forward in search of a way to help her ailing Master and save the Jedi Order.
    Bastila Shan
    But it cannot be done without our help.
    Vandar Tokare
    Millennia ago, a powerful ritual was developed to shield the Jedi from the power of this ancient plague.
    Tharis Orne
    The ritual cut off the plaguemaster from his victims, but it exacted a great price from the healer who wielded it.
    Jesper Altax
    It is once again necessary for someone to use the ritual.
    Wole Vahn
    The ritual is a difficult one to learn, Jedi, and will take many hours of deep meditation and study.
    Arca Jeth
    Are you ready to learn it?
    Barsen'thor
    Yes. I am ready, Master.
    Bastila Shan
    Then open your mind, and we will teach you....
    ...
    Arca Jeth
    You seem to have mastered everything we have to show you, Jedi.
    Nomi Sunrider
    Such a bright, inquisitive mind. It has been an honor to teach you.
    Vandar Tokare
    But remember - the shielding ritual will draw on your strength, and you can only regain what you've spent when the plaguemaster's bond with his victims is broken.
    Barsen'thor
    How do I break the bond between plaguemaster and victim?
    Chamma
    Death was what broke the hold of the original plaguemaster, Terrak Morrhage. But there may be another way.
    Noab Hulis
    You now have the knowledge you need to save your Master. Use it wisely and well, and may the Force be with you.

, and eventually gave birth to a baby girl, whom they named Vima. During a trip to the Stenness system, Andur was ambushed by gang members of Bogga the Hutt, who were after the Adegan crystals carried by Sunrider and her husband. The ensuing fight witnessed the murder of Andur, and Sunrider's decision to begin down the path to become a Jedi Knight. Sunrider eventually completed her training under the Jedi Master Thon, and was placed in charge of the Jedi relief mission sent to Onderon

Following the devastation of the Great Sith War, Sunrider steadily climbed the ranks of the Jedi and was eventually made Grand Master of the Jedi Order around the time of the Conclave on Exis Station, a conclave which Sunrider had assembled so the Jedi could discuss the rebuilding of the Order following the end of the war.
