Private Medjai Temple - Meeting in the Archives

[Aliza Vale]

"Hmm..." Aliza muttered to herself as she pursued the shelves of the archives. "I thought we had something on Darth Bane in this section but..." She frowned, had someone not replaced the data-card after using it? The library didn't show it as having been checked out. "Maybe someone in the commons has it." The Sith muttered to herself, tapping a pale cheek with one finger before shrugging and turning to head in that very same direction.

Aliza was in her teaching clothes today, meaning she was for once wearing Sith robes and a dark cloak. Not that she particularly enjoyed wearing them, mostly due to memories they awakened, but, expectations where leveled upon her, and the young woman tried not to disappoint her gracious allies, companions even, to frequently. Musing to herself as she wandered through the quiet stacks, she paused as something nudged at the edge of her senses...

Turning from her path, she nearly pulled a 180 as she headed to a row off to the left side of the archives, in search of a, disturbance, subtle, but there. "Now what could possibly be happening here..." She murmured to herself, hopefully some apprentices hadn't decided to fight in the archives, or conduct dangerous experiments, since cracking down would undercut the image she tried to present of being friendly and accepting of the students...

Finnea Virlee

 

[Finnea Virlee]

With the permission to leave the ship, the young engineer now found herself in the desert of Verun with one goal in mind - to visit the Medjai temple and to ask for permission to look for anything related to her new desired goal which were to find a way to master Mechu-Deru and technophathy properly, starting with one step at the time. Finnea had always possessed a natural connection to anything related to mechanical gear and tech, but ever since she realised she was a force sensitive, it had been rollercoaster of decisions to make and what path to follow. Her most immediate circle of people were too busy to teach her and her master, the Seer, seemed to pull her through tests and challenges she didn't care much for.

Maybe by open and actively searching for it herself could she find what she was looking for?

Finnea entered the temple and immediately slowed down her pace as she made her way to the archives with a little guidance. Finally at her destination, she approached the first wall ahead, excited to spend hours or days trying to find some ancient text that would mention something related to her wishes and what she so badly wanted to achieve.
She had only pulled at one of the books when the sound of footsteps reached her and the white haired girl turned to face the approacher all dressed in Sith robes which made her eyes widen slightly with worry, backing into the wall behind her with a thud. She didn't speak as her mind was busy trying to read the situation and the womans expression.

 

[Aliza Vale]

Aliza arched a brow as she took in the young woman before her... An apprentice perhaps? There was something strange about her, a buzzing just beyond easy recognition in her senses. The Sith smiled slightly and tilted her head. "Hmm, Hair just like mine." She nodded in a friendly manner. "I don't think I've met you yet, nor seen you in the roster of students. Is everything well dear?" She frowned when Finnea backed into the wall. Odd, Aliza didn't normally try to be menacing, better to be under estimated than not after all...

"I am Lady Cinis, or Aliza, should we not be in a formal setting. And yourself?" She motioned calmly towards Finnea before falling silent, allowing the young woman a chance to respond, whilst her senses reached out and sought to understand Finnea, both attempting to gauge her intent, as well as her potential in the force. As for Aliza, should Finnea be trained enough to return the favor, she would discover a remarkably... pensive, demeanor in the Sith before her. Which of course was not the typical state of affairs, indeed, she might even be forgiven for suspecting that Aliza was a Jedi from her surface emotions, though of course that was not the case.

After waiting a few moments to allow Finnea to respond, Aliza stepped to the side, permitting the young woman to slide past if desired, hopefully setting her more at ease, whilst canting her head slightly. "Is there something you are looking for? I know these Archives fairly well, if I do say so myself." She should after all, given that she often assigned apprentices and initiates research punishments in this hall when they didn't apply themselves to their studies to her satisfaction.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

"I'm not a student." Finnea replied quickly, nearly agressively, with her back to the shelves still staring at the woman in black robes and picking up on her presence in the force. Not menacing, not hostile. The engineers shoulders slowly fell and she didn't display that same skittish behviour, but stayed alert just in case. After all, she didn't have the best experiences with siths..

Now nodding to let her know she was well, Finneas attention briefly went back to the book beside herself that she had been pulling at while the other woman presented herself. "Oh.. I'm Finnea Virlee, Ensign onboard Jericho of the Ascendancy fleet." She spoke with no rush in her voice, but strictly to the point of her question.

The space to move past Aliza was appreciated and the young engineer picked the book from the shelves and quickly glided past her, happy somehow, to have the door behind herself but was in no rush to leave. "I don't know..well. I do know, but.." Finnea fell silent while making up her mind. Speak freely to a stranger or keep silent about her thoughts?
"I want to study Mechu-Deru. I need a place to start understanding more of it." She suddenly blurted but still confident

 

[Aliza Vale]

The assertion that Finnea wasn't a student brought a look of puzzlement to her face, mostly because Finnea didn't feel like a full Sith or Jedi... Interesting. "Well, if not a student, I do hope at least you are a fellow seeker of knowledge, and open to ideas and concepts advanced by another." She remarked wryly. There was an edge to her voice, almost like Finnea was starting to push her luck with the constant hostility. But, Aliza was a Sith, and master of her emotions, not mastered, by them. As such she managed to squelch some of the impulse that was retained even through the trials to find her own mastery.

"An ensign you say..." She furrows her brow, making a small, questioning gesture at the stacks surrounding them. "So, if you are meant to be on a ship, how did you wind up planet side, or, are you on leave perhaps?" The questions were meant to divine more about the woman's purpose, and how she came to be here in the temple. But also, it permitted Aliza more time to recall what she could of the desired discipline, such that she could attempt to offer some insight. A small pause was given, permitting Finnea to answer if desired, before finally addressing the topic at hand.

Aliza tilted her head slightly as the woman shifted past her, "Mechu Deru..." She mused, rubbing at her chin slightly. "Not a skill I possess myself, although I've been informed it's not the easiest skill to develop." Actually, to her understanding, and based off the instruction she'd received in her own training, Aliza wasn't sure it was a skill that was learned so much as an inborn ability one either had or didn't. "However, I imagine if we can find the texts available on that specific discipline I might be able to suggest some useful exercises for you." She shrugs.

"If you wish, you are welcome to drop in on my lectures and perhaps glean knowledge shared with the other initiates and apprentices in the temple, or you can come to me when I'm not teaching or on a mission for the order, though be aware that such close tutoring will not be without expectation placed upon you, namely, I will expect a certain level of attention and effort that some might find... intense." A cold smile graced her lips as her eyes hardened into ice. Not often she would make this offer to someone who was essentially a stranger, however, Aliza felt there was something odd about this one, and the chance couldn't be missed to take a hand in her shaping and training. Connections where forged like this all the time, often to the betterment of her goals down the line.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

A fellow seeker of knowledge - that she could easily agree upon. Most of her life so far had been devoted to fill her mind with more knowledge, but as of lately the engineer had found a path that if she was right, would elevate her value. The subtle change of tone to the womans voice was enough of a queue for Finnea to step down from being overly hostile. After all, she was the stranger here, not the other way around. "Yes, very much so." She spoke in a slightly softer tone this time.

"I'm on a leave". That soft tone vanished just as quickly but wasn't hostile, just military and without emotion, all it was were information after all. But she sensed that she would like to know more of her purpose here at the temple. "I learned about your archives through...well. I like to keep myself updated for educational purposes. I thought my chanches of finding something in here were relatively good." She explained briefly, hoping this was good enough of an explanation for now.

Finnea looked at the floors and smiled, knowing she was right when she explained that Mechu-Deru wasn't the easiest skill to master at all. She lifted her head once more, surprised that help was even offered. And she would be even more surprised as Aliza carried on speaking. With janus eyes, the engineer stared back at her after her grand offer to let her nearly freely have her as a kind of mentor that she could come to for questions and guidance. Now, she already had a master but felt his approach to teaching was to try and break her down and build her up from scratch, breaking her mind but hers was a mind too strong to easily be manipulated. At least she believed it was after years in military training.

"I appreciate your offer, Lady Cinis. You have my interest. I can't promise my attendance will be regular or even often, but my attention and effort is my pride and strong side." She spoke with confidence, the book placed behind her back, keeping a strong posture and long back. "I've been tested many times, although I'll admit, not as much regarding the usage of the force"

 

[Aliza Vale]

"Hmmm..." She rubbed her chin, looking at the prospective trainee speculatively for a moment before saying. "Walk with me." After all, she still had to track down that datacard if she was going to prepare the next research assignment for her class. Aliza tended to do the work herself before assigning it, in this manner she would be able to gauge levels of effort and engagement in her students, and reward, or punish, them as needed. She started towards the commons, obviously expecting obedience, and hummed under her breath as she thought for a moment before saying. "Tell me what you know of the force, and what you wish from it Finnea." It was an order, polite as her tone was.

She continued pacing, allowing the young woman to put her thoughts together, and offer an answer. It was while listening, and waiting, that they arrived at the commons to a scene that brought Aliza to a halt, and the woman's right hand to the hilt of her saber. Before them two students seemed to be having a dispute of some sort, it hadn't quite devolved to hurled objects, or ignited sabers, but the tension in the air was palpable, whilst a group of students stood to one side of the area that had been cleared, a young man and woman stood facing one another. For now Aliza observed, Finnea forgotten while she guaged the situation before jumping to any conclusions. Of course a few students spotted the polite sorceress, and a murmur passed through the crowd as her presence was remarked one to another. The two potential combatants of course where apparently oblivious to her presence.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

'Walk with me.'
At first, Finnea hesitated as Aliza began to walk as a part of her was stubborn and screaming to keep to her original plan to gi through the shelves by herself. But it only lasted for second and soon the two of them walked together down the hallway where Finnea was asked to explain what she knew of the force and what she wished from it. Again, apprehensive, it took her a moment to start talking.

"The force is an energy field, it connects everything in the universe. It's created by life and thus resides in all life forms, and for some individuals, the connection is powerful and can be wielded." Finnea made that part bief and simple enough. "I couldnt control it for a while, the force felt overwhelming and pressing, often leading to powerful outbursts that left me drained. Sometimes in the intensive care too. I was afraid, and I seeked help to strengthen my control and understanding of what it is." She paused. "I... was nothing, for years, only passed around to whoever would bother to take care of me, which is how i ended up in the military at a young age and specialised in engineering. I was useful but just a number. And now... I can be more than that, i can be my own person and defend myself, decide my own actions and path in life." Her jaw clenched with decisiveness.

Rounding the corner and entering the commons, Finnea too laid eyes on the two students that clearly was having a dispute and it immediately reminded herself of her own situation back at Icarus. She subconsciously crossed her arms as she watched the scene in front of herself, still feeling a sore rib from the last time Crysis beat her up. Hah, the togrutan had to walk uphill carrying large rocks the entire next day after that.

It wasn't entirely clear what had triggered the two into s verbal fight, but it was obviously not the first time either. The girl helt tightly onto the back of a chair that she used to bang the floors with to emphasise her fury whenever the guy interrupted her, further infuriating her, and in retortion the guy's voice just grew louder each time and everyone could tell they were now only seconds from pulling swords or get into a physical fight. The girl forcefully threw the chair to her side, stepping forward to close the gap between the two, where the guy stood firm but ready to fight her.

 

[Aliza Vale]

"And, Just, What, Is, Going, On, Here." The Sith's voice was chilled, cold as she strode forward looking between the two students with a stern expression. It was easy, with Aliza in her robes, and that expression on her face to remember that she was a Sith in deed. While the two students went white and started trying to talk over one another to get their part of the story out, Aliza sighed, rubbing her temples before lowering both hands and glaring at them. "Ok, enough. Clearly the both of you have entirely to much time on your hands. I expect a 10 page essay on my desk the first of next week, which... gives you about three days I believe. Sources are to be cited, and the diction clear and to the standards previously established in my classes. You will find and identify three historic force users that permitted their emotions, specifically the inability to control those emotions, to lead to their downfall, and provide analysis on what lead to their ultimate fate. If it's not done on time..." Well, she could always use subjects for some of her sorcery experiments, not that Aliza would kill them, but playing guinea pig to a Sith Sorceress was seldom conductive to a long and peaceful life.

"Let me remind everyone present, the Temple is a new gift to us from the Ascendancy, destroying or defacing it's property will not lead to my happiness, and I'm sure the other members of the Order would not appreciate our new home being damaged. Any such incidences as this will be carried out in the designated sparring areas, or outside the temple where the participants can't damage our new home." Taking a deep breath she inhaled through her nose, before exhaling, and then painting a smile on her face. "Now, everyone disperse, back to what you where doing. Except... you three." Pointing to the two students who had been arguing, as well as Finnea. "I believe we can handle the rest of this dispute behind closed doors. Finnea, this is Sarah, and Relek, two of our more... firey, apprentices in the order. Sarah, Relek, meet Finnea, an Ensign in the navy, as well as a visitor." Her cold tone let them drawn the implications of the poor examples they had set already before the newcomer.

And then? They where off again, the Sith leading them towards the exit from the Archives, and instead starting to take the corridors towards one of the lecture halls, and her office beside it. While they walked, the white haired Sith let her emotions calm anew, as well as offering polite nods and greetings to fellow teachers, and other members of the Medjai Order.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

Everybodys attention went straight to the sith as she spoke up, even Finnea thought she was in trouble there for a second. She listened in on how she handled the situation at hand and it very much seemed like the teacher had the respect of all the students in this room; their pale and attentive expressions revealed as much. The very serious explaination of how the temple itself was a gift from the Ascendancy should underline the seriousness of how they should be grateful and respect these grounds more than what was displayed in the common area moments earlier.

The two students had given eachother another sour glare when their punishment for their actions were announced in front of the entire class and everybody could understand why too. It was no game to get down a ten page essay on the topic in three days. Well, at least not for everybody. But it was a clever punishment too, it would indeed keep the two too busy to step on eachothers toes for a few days.
As Aliza let them all know they were free to leave, except for the three including herself, the young engineer lifted an curious eyebrow but understood, of course, why wouldn't she just come along by now? Finnea gave each of the two students a brief nod after they were introduced and as Aliza passed her on her way back out to the hallway, Finnea followed shortly with the two students at tow too. The walk over to her office felt longer than it was, much thanks to the pressing atmosphere between the two angry students that followed them into the office.

Entering the office, Finnea immediatly stepped to the side, thinking that Aliza would like to take care of the two students as first before adressing herself and so the engineers attention went fully to the different shelves and decor she could find in here, making up an impression of the woman based on subtle clues that revealed themselves in this and that.

 

[Aliza Vale]

Aliza's office was a rather spartan affair, with one exception, books, and data cards. The Sorceress apparently had her own library, maybe smaller than the archives, but certainly a clear enough presence to show that she was a researcher more than anything else. Taking a seat behind her desk, she cleared a project away to one side before nesting her hands under her chin and staring at the three of them. "What am I going to do with you two hmm?" She asks Sarah and Relek with irritation and tiredness in her tone.

"I know you two are on opposite sides of the normal dichotomy amongst force users, but just because one wants to be a Jedi and the other a Sith does NOT excuse you from using your brains." She pointed imperiously at the three chairs that she called from the back of the room to set them down a comfortable spacing apart in front of her desk. "Sit, lets chat." She smiles, rubbing her temples slightly, before shrugging off her long cloak and sending it over to a hook near the door. If anyone doubted that Aliza was a force user, those two casual displays should easily demolish their doubt.

Once everyone was seated in some relatively comfortable chairs, she smiled calmly. "Now, you two get to help me with our guest, namely giving her an idea of how things work here." A smirk was on her lips as she knew this explanation would drive home to them the error of their ways. As Jedi apprentice and Sith looked to one another, she tilted her head waiting patiently. Finally Relek started to explain. "The Jedi believe in serving and protecting the citizens of the galaxy, as well as maintaining a balance, both in our personal lives, as well as the galaxy as a whole." He twitched his nose slightly in clear nerves, glancing at the Lady watching them, before continuing. "However, Lady Cinis in particular emphasizes the error in the ways of both the Sith and the Jedi way in an attempt to get us to use logic, and find an optimal solution based upon our goals..." He sounded unsure if this was the proper approach. As Relek seemed to struggle, Sarah picked up the tale. "Whereas the Sith believe in personal power and mastery of emotions in order to obtain strength. However, Lady Cinis has issues with the usual party line in that she asserts it leaves us blinded to consequences and the people around us."

As the young Sith fell silent Aliza leaned forward and tapped the desk calmly. "And that is what is so disappointing about the scene we just saw, since even under the precepts of your own desired path, you both failed to take the expectations of that path into consideration, you where mastered by your emotions, not master of them." She then turned her icy blue gaze upon their visitor. "With those explanations in mind. I ask again, what do you expect from the force, where is your path to strength and victory, what service do you offer to the Ascendancy, as well as the Medjai Order, and what do you seek from us?"

 

[Finnea Virlee]

Honestly, Finnea pretty much felt like a third wheel in this conversation, it was none og her business anyway. The bickering between the two students didn't remotely interest the engineer and so her mind drifted while expecting this conversation to be brief so that Lady Cinis and herself could return to their conversation - but it seemed like the Sith wanted it differently.
Three chairs were pulled before her desk, a clear indication that Finnea was asked to sit as well and judging my the tone of Alizas voice, she wasn't about to refuse. The young engineer sat down between the two, crossing her arms. The boy at her left side, the girl on the right and symbolically it couldn't have been more perfect as Finneas eyes too was of two different colours.

The conversation carried on and she watched the two speak about the force and the path they had chose to follow which were two different ones. This was useful, as she got an insight on how Aliza was thinking as well. Only when directly asked did the engineer understand why she was asked to sit as well and a brief smile appeared as she bowed her neck as she gave it a thought. She had truthfully agreed with both their views.

"This was an unexpected question, Lady Cinis." She started. "And it's complicated, as I fully agree with both views." Finnea lifted her head and met Alizaz eyes while falling silent in thoughts. "I... believe that personal growth of power is important to protect ourself, to master our emotions to shield us from those who would take advantage. I believe with these powers, each individual should take a part of protecting those who need it..." Her words got slowly more silent as she fell into deeper thoughts once more. This was questions she hadn't even dared to ask herself.
"As..for the Ascendancy, I...eh.. found a home." She spoke absentminded this time, struggling to answer what service she provided apart from the obvious answer. "I'd do anything to protect our home... I need time to think, I didn't expect this question. But it is clearly the question I need."

 

[Aliza Vale]

Aliza tilted her head slightly, pondering the young woman's answer, before nodding. "Time you have at least. I believe I have a project to finish soon. On top of that, I think all three of you have something to do." The Sith chuckled softly before smiling warmly. "Now, get out of here, and... Relek? Sarah? I will be expecting that essay in 72 hours. Better get on it." She waved them away, waiting till all three of them left before moving the chairs back to their location by the wall, and then pulling out a data-pad and keying the surveillance systems. Mostly curious about what the three would get up to, but also to make sure that the fight didn't break out again.

While keeping half an eye on the data-pad, she returned the research project back to its place upon her desk and opened her notes. The ritual she was trying to rediscover required very careful preparations, and she now had to recheck every single step after moving the basis for that ritual. A smile was on her lips as she buried herself in one of the more pleasant tasks available at the temple. Soon the woman wasn't thinking of trouble some apprentices, or enigmatic ensigns. No, she was thinking of preparations for war, and making rituals practical again.

Unbeknownst to her conscious mind, Aliza started to hum as she worked, whiling the hours away late into the night, as she set about her work. Meanwhile Relek and Sarah had bee-lined for the Archives, with a subtle space between them, enough acceptance in their stance to offer an invitation to the visitor, without going out of their way to verbalize such. Finnea could go with them, or she could wander the halls of the Temple looking for something new, or whatever else she chose to do. But for now, Aliza's door was closed, and attempts to disturb her would likely be unwise.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

Finnea wasn't hard to ask, and of the three of them, the ensign was the first one to leave the sith's office to head back to the archives to think about the deep question that had been asked in there. Having the two students enter the same room not long after felt disturbing and so she started to pace down the unfamiliar hallways once more until she could find a spot that was more secluded and felt quiet. Here she sat on the floor with an nice view of the desert landscape ahead as she let her mind work on the answer she wanted to give Aliza tomorrow. Perhaps she was truly lost in what wielding the force actually meant to her. It had not been long since she initially discovered it, and even less time since she first learned the basics of truly feeling it and dip into controlling it.

But this would be a long path and certainly not an easy one to master but she just knew she would give it her best shot and learn to grown and master it. And like she said, she desired to gain strength from it so that she could protect herself both physically and emotionally and at the same time she had an desire to protect those who would need it and in her mind, as of now she focused on the civilians of the Ascendancy. That was why she was still onboard Jericho, working hard to do her job right. So that they could fight against the Khanate, defend their new home.

The entire evening passed with her pondering these questions, making sure she felt right when she would face Lady Cinis tomorrow. As for now, she was luckily given a bed to sleep in for the night. As the night turned to day, Finnea was up early and could be found back at the archived where she had allowed herself to pull down a few books to go through, searching for some guidance or just simply some written words that would seal her thoughts but alas. What she really was waiting for, was Aliza. Surely she would pass by the archives at some point? No. Maybe not. Finnea waited until it no longer would be considered rude to greet someone in the morning and she headed to Alizas office where she now knocked firmly but not for long, awaiting some answers that would assure her that it would be ok to enter.

 

[Aliza Vale]

Unfortunately for Finnea, Aliza wasn't in her office, nor was she in the attached classroom. However, a passing student pointed at a sign by the Sith's door and said. "Lady Cinis is at the sparring rings this time of the day." And then the student wandered off. As for what Aliza was up to, she was currently sparring with fellow Sith, mostly so she could brush up on her Niman before the next mission, but also to offer some suggestions on exploiting opportunities. Apparently even during a workout the woman couldn't resist the chance to teach. And thus it was that when Finnea did track her down, the woman was in leather slacks, along with a loose top and had a happy expression while her white locks clung to her face and skin. Obviously Aliza was pushing herself rather than taking it easy. For the moment she wasn't utilizing force powers, simply because her opponent was a fresh apprentice that hadn't yet mastered the basics of form one, much less the more complex defenses necessary to stand off a telekenetic, or mental assault.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

Taking a step back, the engineer waited for a response from within the room but no. She was about to give it another knock when one of the students passing by let her know of the teachers whereabouts which sent her on her way to find Aliza within the sparring rings. Well into a sweat, the teacher was clearly wasn't using the force, most likely to give the apprentice a chance to swing their sword a few times before it was over.
Finnea decided to walk off to the side and watch them as they had a go and taking some mental notes of Alizas method of fighting even if she herself was far from a duelist! The sparring came to its natural conclusion and Finnea game closer to the area to greet Aliza.
"You're not missing out on the chance to teach, are you?" Finnea folded her arms over her chest and kept to the side for now. "About our talk yesterday? You asked me where my path to strength and victory is, what service I offer to the Ascendancy as well as the Medjai Order and what I seek." She started again but had a quick scan of the room. "Are you free to talk at all, Lady Cinis?"

 

[Aliza Vale]

Looked up with a wide smile as she saw Finnea after the apprentice conceded defeat, she had smiled encouragingly and offered some comfort before dispatching him on his way. Hearing the young woman's words brought a nod and her walking out of the ring to make room for the next set of tutor/student to use it behind her. "Finnea." She says offering a hand with a soft chuckle. Apparently the workout had her in a good mood... "No... I love teaching, it's why I'm in the temple, even when it sometimes interferes with my ability to do research, however, teaching is actually an opportunity to sharpen your own skills. As it grants you the opportunity and skills necessary to evaluate your own performance with greater accuracy."

By the time Aliza had gotten this far in her answers to Finnea's statement, the next sparring session was kicking up, and the Lady turned back to look at the two youngsters within the ring. "So, what is your answer?" she tilts her head curiously at Finnea, obviously multitasking, though more focused on the young woman's answer, than the sparring happening before them. For the moment at least it appeared to be safe enough to only require one eye on the two opponents.

 

[Finnea Virlee]

The military upbringing she had was apparent in many ways, especially the way she sometimes would carry herself. When Aliza offered her a hand, her own hands were tied to her back and she couldn't bring herself to take hers before the moment were gone. "I see, I haven't really thought of it like that before but it makes perfect sense." Finnea spoke calmly in response to being told how teaching in itself was valuable to learning more, honing the skills one already possessed.

Her attention was taken for a second as the new couple of students started up a round of sparring, but not for long, she was here for one reason only and that was to sort out her indecisive mind, hopefully with Alizas help doing so. "My issue is the lack of knowledge I have of the two paths that has been mentioned. On one side, the idea of the selfless acts of a Jedi is honorable in a way but I question how one can honestly live without personal attachments. On the other side, I crave knowledge and power, Even if it is only to protect myself from what scares me." Finnea watched the two students and subconsciously admired their skills. She was not a fighter herself. "I don't like the dark path, I have seen what it has turned many people into. It scares me what power can make some of them do."

Finnea sighed with some underlaying frustration over her question that she could not bring up a good answer to. "All I want. is to gain a perfect control of the force, no more painful outbursts. To learn more and build myself from nothing to something. I learned from ancient books that I can use it to 'communicate' with technology. I feel I've already been doing it for years, I just didn't know that was what i was doing when I broke all those codes." she rambled and shoot Aliza a long look.
