Kitana looked at the two men but something did not feel right about them. She thought it was strange, but then again, nothing in the galaxy was feeling right. "I am no longer a Jedi Master, and probably never be one again." Once she made her point she continued. "I felt and said a prair for Master Thos death, but Master Zen was also killed." Kitana lowered her head; it was truly a dark time in the galaxy when great men such as Zen and Odan died. However Kitana then realize something. "You said Master Drake? Ryuu Drake?" That was not right, even though Drake vanished after the Jack Crisis; she knew he would not want to become a Master. He despised that idea.
The though slowly fade away as her thoughts drifted back to that Abaddon. She tried to maintain focus, but her heart ache was distracting. All she wanted was to kill the old man from the HoloNet message. She held these feeling deep down, trying to suppress this thought. She realize this was not justice, and was a very dark thought.

"Yes. Ryuu Drake is the Grand Master of the Jedi Temple now," Erik answered, "With Thos and Zen dead he had little choice but to take on the responsibility. Without him the Temple would not have been able to continue functioning. It is regretful that you deny the Jedi now. We could desperately use one of your wisdom in these dark times."
Erik then took a step forward and sat down besides Kitana. He was silent for a moment as he scanned the carnage around him.
"I suppose though I do understand how you feel. I too lost someone very important to me... a long time ago. I was only a child then. At the time I could imagine no pain that could be worse and no future that would suit me. Despair... death were all that seemed real."
Erik looked down at his feet, a rare display of emotion on his face as a very sad expression washed over him. Though after a pause he smiled and turned to Kitana.
"But when the Jedi found me they changed all that. I have a purpose now and important people to protect. You should at least consider giving the Jedi another chance..."

Kitana looked at Erik. "You have no idea of how I feel or my loss. My husband vanished, my son and parents killed. I am alone in the galaxy once again." Kitana drew the symbol of the lone star and planet in the ash again. She drifted in and out of focus. "I gave up on the Jedi; it was because the Jedi Order my son was here. It was too dangerous for him at the temple..." Kitana could hardly get the words out before she broke out in tears again. She had sent Abaddon to stay with her parents to keep him safe form the war with the Sith. "The Jedi Order only knows war nowadays, and you well soon realize this." She laid down in the ash and curled up in a ball as she cried.
After a minute or so of crying she started to speak very softly to herself, "I am going to kill this fraker that did this. The lightside will sit this one out." Kitana was not talking to anyone but herself, not even aware if anyone was around her. She knew these thoughts were dangerous, but she started not to care anymore. She needed resolution or she would never be able to do anything but wait to die.

"Hmph..." Erik chuckled lightly, "You presume too much..." He said as Kitana laid down. Erik stopped his speech short. Kitana didn't seem to be paying much attention anyway as she cried. Instead he sat quietly watching the sun wane behind the horizon as Kitana spoke quietly.
"I am going to kill this fraker that did this. The lightside will sit this one out." She said. Erik smirked slightly.
"You should come with us," He said slowly, "The Jedi have changed. We are no long interested in peace by pacifism. True peace is not the absence of violence alone... it is also the presence of justice. We are not the Jedi you remember. We can help you... come with us..."

"Well said Erik." said Zancler who had been following the conversation up to this point. He sighed for a moment before scratching the stubbled upon his chin as he seemed lost in thought for a moment. "Death can be a hard thing to accept for most. The Jedi teachings have prepared some for it, and for others near them, but the pain still remains. I lost a brother a long time ago. I had always blamed myself for his death, however now i know that it was not my fault, for no mortal can control the will of Fate."
Zancler realized he was muttering on again. He looked back over to Kitana who had given a statement for revenge. He knew she meant it in this instance, and he looked to Erik. "Well Erik, I believe it's about time to file our report to the Republic. We've the evidence we need to move in on this men finally. This first strike will be the last." said Zancler as he turned to Kitana. "If you come with us, we may be able to help you get to the man responsible..... and help you cope with your son's death...."
Karite empited the man's pockets looking over them. "Fake id...." muttered Karite as he headed towards Jor's position. When he finally got there he saw a man dressed in mandalorain armor. "I suppose he is with you." said Karite as he looked around. "Sorry, the man's pocket only had a fake ID." He held it up for a second, thinking it not important at the moment. "Did you find anything out at the palace?"

Jor took the fake idea and glanced at it. It was fake all right, but the important part was that it was an operators license issued for a Zeltros territory on the other side of the planet.
"Thanks Karite, good catch." Jor said. He pocketed the ID. "Me and the new guy are going to head to the top floor. There's a private landing pad up there, i think might be connected to this."

Kitana looked at the two Jedi, her eyes showed an anger which had never been there before. "I do not want to learn cope with the lost!" Kitana stood up, seeming to find strength. She would have her did not want Jedi Order justice, Republic justice or even Union justice; she would have give out her own form of justice. "I am coming with you however not to join rejoin the Jedi Order. I want to be there when you go after these frakers." She looked at with her fist clinched shut. If he was lying to her, she would rip out his heart and cram it down his throat.

Roland nodded at karite, but otherwise, stood by non responsive, and observing the few people who passed by. He couldn't really see how they could weed out a terrorist cell with only and handful of people, but wasn't about to let anyone show him up. He figured if the Union deigned that this be done, then he would listen.

"So do you want me along, or is my place in this investigation over?" asked Karite not knowing if Jor wanted him along for now, or what he was to do. Reth finally came back besides him and Karite threw him a questioning look however Reth told him to wait until later to ask.
Zancler smirked for a moment before crossing his arms. "That sounds more like the Kitana I've heard so much about." said Zancler before turnning to Erik and motioning for him to come. "We are leaving now."
Zancler and Erik headed back to their ship they had arrived in and powered it up. Zancler got a message and pulled it up reading it before. Perfect. thought Zancler as he turned back to the controls. "It seems We've an audiance with the Chancellor first, and he has a special assignment for us. I didn't think the Republic would make this quick of a move but I'll assume it's for the better."

"well, if you want to tag along i won't stop you. Your good in a fight and you managed to almost get one of these guys alive. Thats more then i've managed to far. But like i said before, your not on my payroll so i can't order you around." Jor said.
He shrugged. "If you want you can cut out and do your own thing anytime you want."
Jor shrugged again and then motioned for Roland to follow him. He took the stairs and climbed the many floors to the top level.
When he got to the top he walked down the short hallway to the private landing pad. Two heavily armed guards stopped him before he could enter. "Hey, back off pal, this area's off limits." The guards said.
Jor pulled out his Union ID and held it up. "i'm Jor Halcyon, here on behalf of the Union, conducting an investigation with the authorization of the Republic Chancellor himself. Now i don't have a warrent but i can get one and when i come back i won't be in such a good mood."
The guards looked at each other, then turned back to Jor. "No weapons." they both said in unison.
Jor nodded and started stripping his weapons off. While he was doing that he looked at Roland. He reached out with his mind and implanted a thought into Rolands mind... If i send you a signal for help, can you take these two guys by yourself? Nod your head if the answer is yes.

Roland smirked as he heard the though, and nodded. He took his hand off the strap of his rifle, and put both hands down on his belt, in the perfect position to draw his pistols, and sized the two up. A quick blast could take both down, and have him inside the room in a seconds notice, he thought out loud hoping that jor would hear that.

Kitana followed the two Jedi back to their ships. When she heard Zancler talk about another side mission she was not happy at all. "What, you said you would move against the P.T.I." She sat down and strapped in. She figured they could drop her off at the temple and point her where they were. She would "capture" the P.T.I. members herself.

"Don't misunderstand me, perhaps you should read if for yourself... It is about the P.T.I." said Zancler as he offered her the chair after entering hyperspace.
Zancler,
The republic has raided the Sect on coruscant, and captured over half of their members. We are currently enteragating them, but we should have the location of their leader in no time. If we do not, you shall do the enteragation. Needless to say they will no longer be a threat on our home turf for awhile.
"If that is not satisfactory to you then I'll let you interagate the prisoners, i'm sure they never thought they'd see one of their victums face to face." said Zancler knownig she would probably do more then just interigate them.
"Keep me posted then, and when you need me, just Call." said Karite to Jor. He headed for his fighter, and took off with Reth.

Jor did indeed pick up Rolands surface thoughts and smiled slightly. His amphistaff was the last thing to come off he handed it to Roland to take care of for the time being, but Vera and the rest of his weapons he just laid out on the opposite side of the hallway.
"Ok, no weapons. Take me to your leader." Jor said.
The two guards just turned and slid their keys into their respective slots. a simultaneous turn of the keys and the heavy door slid upwards to admit Jor. He walked in and let the door close behind him.

Roland was a little surprised when jor handed him the amphistaff, but took it, and belted it none the less, just so he had his hands open. He looked around, and blinked a few times, not wanting his eyes to dry out, if there was a fire-fight to break out.
