[ that's not the answer she wanted. it's not even an answer and quite honestly the tone sounds a bit like an attack. but she's used to that, from his kind: slow to trust and quick to accuse, all the while preaching that they're open and accepting. at least sith are honest about being judgemental. ]

Sith wards are intended to kill unworthy intruders and leave no room for friendly fire incidents.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

In case you hadn't noticed, there is something aboard this ship killing people and I want to know what it is and how to make it stop.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

But I can certainly understand if you're too busy keeping the peace to want to prevent further deaths.


[ some day, when she learns what a passive aggressive smilie is, kallig is going to wish she had used one here. ]

Let us put it this way: I am a master of working around Sith wards but I am not very skilled at creating wards of any kind.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

If you understand creating them, we could work together and catch this thing. Putting wards around a safe area would ensure crew protection while using them as bait.

[ she hadn't been sure what to make of this particular jedi's rambling idea of conversation when they had first met. now, at least, kallig was quite fine to describe the habit as annoying and something that absolutely should be banned from this text-based communication.

next time, she decides, she's just hunting him down to talk. ]


FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

No, I'm on Orange. My temporary unit lead doesn't have anything specifically for me to do, so helping where I can is my objective. If Red is setting traps and we can figure out HOW to set traps

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

I can't imagine that wouldn't count as helping.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

Whether you call these people bait or not, they will be. We all already are.
vinculis: (⚡ talk.)

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

If you'd like to accuse me of something, please do it concisely and as soon as possible so we get it out of the way.


[ she doesn't blame him, truthfully. there are more sith she doesn't trust than those she does, and those are the ones that are supposedly on her side, fighting the same war, serving the same emperor. her and kenobi are at odds -- temporally and by creed both. no matter how many of their ideals and goals may be fundamentally the same, their methods are undeniably different. but still, she doesn't go assuming the worst about him.

well, except that he might be long-winded, pretentious and annoying, but she seems remarkably spot on for that so far. ]


FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

I don't even know if we CAN do something to stop this thing, but you and I have an advantage no one else on this crewship has and it is worth trying.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

And I'm not going to stop you from being bait, of course.
vinculis: (⚡ pause.)

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

Of course it's not different. You're probably the first Jedi I've ever met who didn't want to kill me on sight.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

But I have been curious how your Order could have possibly gone 1000 years without killing one of mine. If we weren't friends, where were the Sith?


[ "temporally removed" indeed. she's not sure what to think about it, but airing this out is probably necessary if they're going to be working together. distrust or not, she wants at least some input on this. they're lone force users here, so it's a necessary alliance in her mind.

either get along or go for blood are really the only options for people like them. ]

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

If I'm understanding this correctly, you're ahead of me. I'm not sure how far.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

The contemporary conflict between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic that I'm familiar with is... not an overt one. Not since the Treaty of Coruscant.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

Not long ago the Jedi thought the Sith were so gone they'd set up shop on Korriban. We took it back and the Sith have increased exponentially in number since then with that as our training ground.


[ a little pause there, before the next one. andronikos' mention of a darth nox comes to her again, but she's not sure she's the same as his sith, if she'll follow that path. and that's a whole other thing. if he remembers one sith different, who's to say that other sith can't have affected history differently as well?

but one thing at a time, she'll test the waters with different names -- ]


FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

Darths Angral or Malgus may have survived in Jedi lore for their roles in the destruction of your temple on Coruscant. Jedi in my time are particularly sore about that.
vinculis: (⚡ pensive.)

[ three thousand. it's a little baffling. it's not unfathomable, considering how far behind her the legacy of both the jedi and sith already stretch, but still... on the whole, sith three thousand years before her time are little more than stories and relics. she would be lucky to even be that to those few sith kenobi's mentioned.

legacies never do last as long as someone might hope they would. ]


FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

It's been ten years since the Treaty of Coruscant. So there's our temporal mystery solved.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

You were expecting some sort of shift. What else have you seen?
vinculis: (⚡ shift.)

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

A penchant for Sith? Don't tell me you're hiding something, Kenobi.


[ it's... a joke, but terse, not well translated over text. if there's any darkness in him, it's even much more well hidden than the dark in her -- and it's always been her appearance or her lightning that gave her sith state away, not the force. ]

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

As far as I'm concerned, this is just indication that they have power I wish to partake in. The possibilities are endless.
vinculis: (⚡ pause.)

[personal profile] vinculis 2014-12-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

They did. The deal was the destruction of an enemy and protection of my people's homeworld for a bit of service. It's more than the Empire would ever do for me.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

They tricked you?


[ the phrasing is deliberate there, if only because having a jedi admit he'd been tricked by a corporation would make her day infinitely brighter. ]
vinculis: (⚡ hold up.)

[personal profile] vinculis 2015-01-06 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

They tricked you. And you're easy to trick. Is that what I'm reading here?


[ it's not and she knows it, but that feels like an upper hand, a willing acceptance of power when he's been manipulated to be in the same situation. and she's used to being manipulated, just as accustomed as she is to manipulating so she understands the implications and the effects and can only imagine how it affects a jedi, of all the self-righteous beings capable of being recruited by the cdc.

this is a button to press that very nearly brings her joy. ]
vinculis: (⚡ sly.)

Such wisdom. I'm sure you play your part here well.

FROM: kallig.telumi@cdc.org

I'll meet you in the safe zone shortly. I have some ideas for traps already but we should discuss that face to face.
