*Meanwhile on the Jedi's Light in orbit Captain Marcus recieves the Ebonclaw reply message and responds to it.* ===Comlink=== "Thank you very much Ebonclaw control, but I do not think that will be required now. Our 'guest' will be required to stay onboard until Master Adamis has returned. Jedi's Light out." ===Comlink===

"You continue to see things only in terms of war and conflict, Master Jedi. You were doomed to fail because of this. War is the arena of the Sith. They thrive and find power in conflict and by fighting a war with them you provided them the power to defeat you. Can the Ebonclaw Freehold defeat the Sith? Yes without doubt. I have the forces necessary to crush the Sith utterly, I have the power necessary to decimate their fleets, cripple their strongholds and obliterate their worlds. I can make the Sith cease to exist. I will not do this however. To do would would require calling up my fleets from the Homeworlds and as interesting as this Galaxy is to me it is not THATvital to me. Soon the Hapes cluster will fall to me, sixty eight worlds to add to my hold of twelve and this is a pitance compared to the number of systems I hold in the Homeworlds. I control worlds that have been in my grip so long that none of their citizenry have even stories of when I did not control the planetary system. Here I am a small faction and that is how I will keep it. Now then aside from this I have provided the Jedi a safehold in the form of the Onderon Protectorate. The Late Queen Kyra and I set up this protective alliance to see that the Sith would not take the world and I keep my word. Draw your strength there, recover, review what you have done and see the errors of pride and hubris that lead the Jedi to defeat. Find your center once more and see that the Jedi should never rely on military might to deal with the Sith. You should be the Hand and the Fist. An open hand to accept those that see, penance of their fell deeds and come back to your Light yet always close by is the fist to defend the innocent and weak against the dark will of tyrants. Remove the Head of the snake if you wish to kill the body, Master Jedi. Viea is the key."

"I would never ask you to put your forces into such a battle and nor do I fully believe that I can fully defeat the Sith with my small force. I simply want to continue to fight the Sith, but on my terms, from the darkness of this galaxy. I know Viea is the key to bringing down the Sith, but she is too smart to be caught without a fleet or two to support her, and so that also is a pipe dream. My plan is to attack the Sith at small bases of my choicing and to weaken them slowly while showing the people of this galaxy that the Jedi are still alive and working to protect them. We will strike out at the Sith, and then fade away again as if we were ghosts. As such I do expect the Sith to form some kind of strike force to try and destroy us, as such I do not want to base my forces out of Onderon as that world has already seen too much war and I would not want to be the one to bring war on it again. All that I would ask of you is to allow us to use you space as a safe haven should we require it and as a place to resupply and possibly recruit new crew members from your people if they are willing."

*Lirreka chuckles as she stands before Adamis, her robe still open and covering very little*
"Then here is what I can offer you Master Jedi, a Letter of Marque. Become my privateer however as much it as it will pain you to do so I suggest you abandon your Jedi Light. It is far too noticable. We can build you a compairable ship at Obroa-Skai that does not have the stigma of your current flagship. If you truly want to harry the Sith then would it not be wiser to do so in a ship that does not immediately draw notice and retribution upon your fellow Jedi? Be my Privateer Master Jedi and strike a telling blow against the Sith's bugdening empire."

*The shock of Lirreka suggestion was evident on Adamis's face. Abandon the Jedi's Light! How could he do that. Even though it had started life as a personal Capital ship of a Sith, he had changed that, turned it into a symbol of the Jedi and their willingness to stop Sith tyrany and into a mobile enclave and trainning centre for the Jedi. How could he abandon something that symbolised so much to so many?* "Bu.... but that would mean that half of my mission would be impossible. As I said I still want to give the image that the Jedi are still active and fighting for the people of galaxy. How can I do that without something as reconisable as the Jedi's Light?"

"So the Jedi Light is a symbol? The deed is not as important as the one doing it? Would you rather have the people see the Jedi as the Heroes or would you rather have them see that anyone can be a hero? That Anyone can stand against the Tyranny of the Sith? 'Give a man a fish and he is fed for the night, teach a man to fish and he can feed himself for a lifetime.' What would you rather do Master Jedi? Dole out hope in bit-sized chunks that can be obtained again tomorrow same time same channel or do you want to give the people hope that is everlasting? As a matter of course my planetary batteries target the Jedi Light even now, one word from me and it is turned into so much debris to feed my reclaimators, does all hope die with the destruction of that ship? If I take your sabers from you and destroy them are you no longer a Jedi? What say you to this Master Jedi? What is the Nature of Hope?"

*Adamis's expersion harden when the suggestion of destroying the Jedi's Light was put forward.* "If we are to work together I think you should know that I do not appreciate having my fleet and personal threatened. Anyone who is willing to kill that many people to simply make a point is not willing to work with me. You may be right about having to not use the Jedi's Light for the most part but I will not let her be harmed in any way. Destroying her would help the Sith effort more than your plan can hurt them. I still want to use her to give the image of an active Jedi faction in the galaxy. If this is the only way we can work together then very well, but the Jedi's Light stays under my command and will not be harmed. It will not practicipate in many attacks on the Sith but it will still take on some missions with or without the rest of the fleet. It that understood?"

*Lirreka smiled yes she knew she hit a nerve it was exactly the reaction she wanted.*
"You see Master Jedi, from what I know of the Jedi- and I know far more then you would imagine- such attachments, especially to an inanimate object such as a ship isn't a good thing. I said nothing about killing the crew. Regardless I have no intention of destroy the Ship, it was only brought up to make a point, a point which you seem to have forgotten in your furvor but that is neither here nor there. It would be best for your plan that the Light not be seen. For all of its might the ship can only be in one place at a time whilst a Rumor can be in a thousand places at once. Give the Sith something they cannot fight, a Ghost. I will show you ways to start rumors in various ports that will reach the ear of the Masters of the Sith and set them to fretting while you in a completely different yet equally as powerful ship will be striking blows to help the benighted people remember what it's like to have hope. Does this suit you Master Jedi?"
*Lirreka arched a brow even as she asked the question.*

"Its suits as long as the Light can still go about some missions. With what i think you are planing, it will make little difference if the Jedis' Light is still slightly active. They will simply think that I am on the Jedi's Light doing what I can while the fleet I am actually with is a new threat to them. The Light can concentrate on rescue or mercy missions, such as bringing medical supplies to plaqued systems, if that would please you. And as to my 'attachment' to the Jedi's Light, I just do not want such a viable asset and symbol wasted."

*She chuckles and walks to a table to pick up a cup*
"Of course Master Jedi. I presume the ship to serve in stead of the Light would have to be comprable to it in performance."

*She chuckles again*
"Of course it could be better, it was originally built by the Sith afterall and at a time when they were more concerned about striking fear with a big ship rather then fighting with it."

"It can pay its way in the fighting sector. But you are right it is not by any stretch of the imagination the best battle-ship in the galaxy. I believe that title is held by Adena's flag ship, The Ivory Goddess."

In her cell, Shara was once more restlessly pacing.
"Stupid Jedi...where....friggen slow..." She muttered and cursed under her breath, wondering what the Jedi was up to. She'd exected him to come by atleast once more...odd.

*Inside his quarters, Bo was preparing. He'd probably get killed, but at least it'd be fun while it lasted. He stowed one last grenade of 5 into his bag and exited. He headed for the Prison Block. He informed the Guards of where he was going, and told them to come into the Cell if they wished. 5 Guards flanked him as he walked towards Shara's cell*
