"Interesting."
Devlin noticed Keda's anger through the Force.
His eyes quickly flash to her before focusing back on Crix.
"So, this process has side effects? Are the subjects' minds unstable?"
He waits to see if Keda will attack again.

*Crix gave a minor shrug to Devlins question.*
-Crix-
"There are some that don't adjust well, others fall into complacency with a little help with their suppressants. Although, like most projects, there have been a few..instances."
*Kedas eyes narrowed slightly, they seemed to be scanning her memory, bringing her mind out of the fog caused by the suppressants. She gave her head a slight shake, before giving the room a slow scan. Her glazed eyes held slight confusion as they landed on the Jedi.*

"So, you control them because you fear them...interesting."
Devlin smiles.
"Keda, does it comfort you to know Dr. Crix is afraid of you?"
Perhaps, he shouldn't taunt a man he had hardly met; but Devlin found that adversity changed people and sometimes showed you their true side. He wondered if Crix was always so polite.

*Keda looked at Devlin, her mind was pulling out of the fog even quicker now. She thought back on what Devlin just said.*
"..Fear. They fear us, that's what Titus said." *Her eyes lost focus for a few seconds before turning back to the Jedi.* "He said they fear us for what we are, what we can become. They fear what Titus called the Forsaken." *Keda straightend up, her mind was much clearer.* "He fears that we will rise."
*She let out a groan of pain as more suppressants were injected into her. From the holoprojector on her wrist, Crix could be seen pressing several buttons on his datapd. His voice held some anger in it as he spoke.*
-Crix-
"Nothing more then fairy tales. No one is going to rise up against us, and no we don't fear you."

"Then why do you control them so rigidly?"
Devlin shrugs.
"It is not my place to question your inner struggles, Doctor. I merely wished to know more about you, your work, and your test subject."
He looks at Keda, but doubts she'll be able to tell him anything more in her current state.
Still, he was intrigued and needed to ask, regardless of who answered him.
"What are the Forsaken?"
The name itself invoke dark undertones. If they were a branch of evil, something of the dark side, Devlin had a duty to put a stop to it. But, if they could help Keda and her fellow tank-grown siblings, he might just let them. Conflict stirred within him.

*Crix gritted his teeth and responded as calmly as possible.*
-Crix-
"I control them to keep them more focused in missions. Can't have them distracted now can I."
*Crix let a sigh at the name of the Forsaken.*
-Crix-
"The Forsaken are nothing more then a fairytale. Some tank borns believe that the ones that have escaped are assembling an army to bring vengeance on the galaxy and those who have done them wrong."

Devlin nods.
"Something we shouldn't wish upon the galaxy, then."
Dangerous creatures, fairy tales; especially if true.
"Control is something Jedi know a great deal about. Trust me when I tell you: Often it is an illusion. It takes a great deal of time and practice to attain true control. ...At least, in my experience."

*Crix chuckled at Devlins explanation of control.*
-Crix-
"My subjects don't have time to learn about the Jedi version of control."
*crix was to focused on Devlin to notice what was going on with Keda. She shuddered slighty and shook her head. Reaching up she wiped her nose only to find her hand covered in blood, the bright fluorescent stood out against the red. She was confused by this, why was her nose bleeding?*

Devlin considered that a moment.
"Accelerated growth in the tank...hmm, good point. It takes most a lifetime to learn the control of a Jedi Master."
He frowns.
"If you're going to hunt Force-users, you might want to understand them. Unfortunately, there is no understanding the Sith. They merely want to see the galaxy burn. We Jedi are simpler. We just strive for peace, justice, and equality throughout the known systems. Then there are the Gray Jedi. Those who seek to follow the path of the Force their own way, without the Council's guidance or wisdom. The last group, however, is the most dangerous: those who are untrained."

*Crix folded his arms and glanced almost annoyed at Devlin.*
-Crix-
"Which is the exact reasoning for such tests. When she does encounter one in the future she will be prepared for such an ordeal."
*Keda shook her head and almost stumbled, blood began to drip from her nose and fall to the floor. Crix himself seemed to be completely unaware of the situation as he conversed with the Jedi Master. Before he could continue his datapad began to beep in alarm. He looked down and began to scan through the information, all the while a frown began to appear on his face. Keda, in her daze, looked up at Devlin, her eyes narrowed and she took a fighting stance.*
"Threat detected. Force user, Jedi Master. Defense protocol elevated, eleminate force user."
*Crix looked up in panic.*
-Crix-
"What?! No, I didn't elevate the defense protocol! what are you doing Keda?"
*Without a word of reply, Keda lunged at Devlin with the intent to kill*

Devlin's eyes widen.
"Doctor?"
The lightsaber still activated in his right hand moves to catch Keda's. Devlin takes two steps backward.
"Keda, why are you doing this? Doctor, what's happening?"
Devlin attempted to remain calm and in control. He didn't want to harm Keda more than necessary. The look in her eyes, however, told him she did not feel the same.

*Keda dodged to the left and moved her lightsaber into a standard grip. Jabbing it forward towards Devlins head in an attempt to force him back.*
"My orders stand clear. I must eliminate force users, that is my directive."
*A burst of static came through her comlink. The voice of Crix could barely be heard over the interference as he tried to stop Keda.*

Devlin steps back again. He moves his arm to the right and up in an attempt to lift her lightsaber upward.
"So, no negotiations?"
He forces a smile.
"You can try to eliminate me; but I am not so easily defeated."

*Keda let Devlin block her lightsaber and lift it upward. Putting her left foot behind her right, she spun her body to get outside Devlins guard. Her lightsaber never left its spot, instead she switched her grip, letting the hilt slide across her palm. Gripping the lightsaber again in a reverse grip she finished her spin and struck at the Jedi's side.*
"I would be disapointed if you were easy to bring down."

Keda's fist connects with Devlin's side. He grunts and stumbles to his left. He tilts his lightsaber's tip forward and tries to press Keda's blade downward and backward.
His interest in Crix was still high; but he needed to focus on Keda at the moment.
"Why the change, Keda? I thought we were getting along famously."

*Keda was pushed back by Devlins block. Pulling herself into a defensive position, she waited for another opening. Before she could respond to Devlin's question, a blurry image of Crix broke through and tried to deliver a quick message amongst all the static.*
-Crix-
"Master Dewe. There's something wrong with Keda, it appears to originate from the new stimulants placed in her. They appear to have an unexpected side affect."

"Unexpected side effects?" Devlin laughs. "I suppose this is easier than giving her freewill?"
Devlin stretches his left hand toward Keda with the palm pointing toward her chest--first two fingers and thumb point upward, the last two fingers point toward Keda--and unleashes a Force Push.
"I don't want to hurt her, Doctor."

*Keda was hit by the force push and tossed backward. Hitting the ground, she rolled and regained her footing quickly. Crix's eyes narrowed at Devlins comment but chose to ignore it.*
-Crix-
"I do not wish to harm her either, but something must be done to stop her. Even if that means drastic measures." *He tilted his head and spoke to another person in a different comlink.* "Ace, if you please."
*Kedas head tilted in curiosity at the name. Without warning a bolt from a blaster rifle tore through a nearby window. The shot hit Keda just under the right ribs, not fatal but enough to put her out of the fight. She had no time to react, as the bolt hit her she felt it burn through her body. Keda looked down a the wound, her eyes full of pain and confusion, she placed her hand on it and saw blood seeping through. She stumbled some before collapsing to the ground on her side. In a calm voice, Crix spoke as if nothing drastic had happened.*
-Crix-
"See master Dewe, everything is under control."

Devlin spins to face Ace. He raises an eyebrow.
Devlin assessed the other man and was satisfied that he posed no threat to the Jedi at that particular moment. His lightsaber, however, was not deactivated.
The Cardooinian turns to face Crix.
"What happens now?"

*Crix gave a slight shrug at Devlin's question.*
-Crix-
"Now, she returns to her tank until we can diagnose what went wrong."
*Keda rolled onto her back an stared towards the ceiling, her left hand now covering her wound. The shot from the blaster round had done its trick, her mind was no longer filled with the intent to kill Devlin. She turned her head and looked at Ace through the hole in the window. He wore recon armor similar to hers, his face was covered from his nose down by a dark cloth only relieving his dark blue eyes.*
