Felucia's Open Terrain

*Iella, like Morgan had clearly done, also sensed the anger that fueled Kent's rapid levitation of the stone. She couldn't blame Kent for being angry with all that had happened to her, but she needed to find a way to steer her down a gentler path. With a sigh, she caught the falling rock with the Force and let it fall a few meters away.*"Morgan's right, Kent. Using your anger like that can lead you to the dark side of the Force. I don't blame you for being angry, but you can't feed that emotion or it'll swallow you up."

*Iella sighed.*"Kent let me tell you something I learned when I was first learning to be a Jedi.*She paused a moment to make sure Kent was listening before continuing.*"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering."*She sighed again, remember the first time she'd heard those words.*"Kent, the central teachings of the Jedi are based on compassion and respect for life. We seek to bring peace to the galaxy. Using anger to fuel your power is...kind of counterproductive to that."

Kent frowns. In her mind, what was most efficient was the way to go. She understood that using emotions to hurt someone was bad. Like shooting someone when angry. But here she just used it to do a task better than she could have otherwise done. I am not sure I understand. I get that letting my anger control my actions is bad. She remembers the Med Center But I am controlling it. I am also not using it to hurt someone. I couldn't lift the rock as well as I did without using my anger. How can it hurt something?

Igniting her lightsaber so that its blue glow is added to the red of her twin's lightsaber, Kaiya purses her lips as she studies what the combined light from their weapons reveals of the room they have discovered, taking in the dataterminals and other equipment.

"There's only one way to find out, Kaiya answers her sister, crinkling her nose as she adds, and unfortunately that way will mean that we need to see if we can restore power to this level. Walking along the western wall of the room to begin searching for a means of determining whether or not they will be able to restore the power, Kaiya muses aloud, Its a good thing our training included some rudimentary engineering and slicing skills, huh? I doubt they would have left anything on these dataterminals that isn't encrypted or wiped, so even if we do get the power back on, we probably will have to work a bit of magic to find out whether this trip was worth it."

After nearly an hour, the twins locate an emergency generator and successfully restore power to the lower level of the ruined base. Wiping her sweat soaked hair off of her forehead, Kaiya says to Ellie, "Now to see whether there's anything to see now that we can see what was left here to see, if anything was left to see at all that is. Hooking her fingers around the collar of her tunic and waving it to cool herself, Kaiya moans, Too bad we didn't get the air conditioning back on; I feel like I'm in a sauna. Pointing towards a nearby dataterminal, Kaiya sighs and says, I'll start with those there, you try the ones over there.," and then wipes the thick layer of dust off of a chair in front of the dataterminals she will be searching and gets to work determining whether anything on them will help them on their hunt.

*Morgan was starting to feel frustrated at Kent's stubbornness, which was why she opted to try to settle down and let Iella reply instead. By then, she was able to compose herself and add,* "She's right! Doing things the easy way will corrupt you! You'll get used to using bad emotions, and it'll just grow and... and make you a monster!"

*Iella was relieved when Kent did not press the issue any farther. still not sure how exactly how to explain why drawing on her darker emotions was bad. She took a deep breath and nodded slowly as Kent gave it another try. Unsurprisingly, Kent didn't have as much success moving the rock the second time around as she had the first, but Iella noticed no flashes of anger or other negative emotions this time around.

Trying to be encouraging, she stepped forwards and smiled.*"Don't get too discouraged if you're not tossing rocks with the Force right away. It's like a muscle you have to exercise for it to get stronger. Right, Morgan?"*It was when Iella turned to Morgan that she realized the girl still wasn't wearing anything. Her eyebrow raised at this, but she said nothing about it as she turned back to Kent.*"So I think we'll focus on using the Force without drawing on your anger for now."

*With the power up and running, Ellie turned het attention to the terminal closest to her. The search was slow and frustrating,
that was until something caught her eye. A shipping manifest that had all the navigation points erased,
except for most of the fueling records. Without looking away from the screen, she called to her sister @kaiyaordo.* "Vod, come here. I think I found something."

*She began to skim through the data, taking in each place the ships had fueled. Hopefully she'd be able to find a pattern or direction in which the ships came.*

But I was so good at it using past emotions to fuel it. How is it I can be so strong and so weak at the same time? And I am supposed to be ok with it?
Frustration fills the girl's voice. She was not used to failing. Most things in life, with her mind, she could pick up rather easy. This was different.

She paused, and thought about it. Using her anger did make her powerful, but it also brought back the pain. She was able to remember all of it and she couldn't separate it from the anger. The pain was what gave her the anger. She couldn't live like that. She looked at the rock. If I work at it, I will be as powerful without the anger as I am with it? Is there another way I can fuel it?
