"You're free to walk away," she said, looking at Lunda. "If the mere thought of touching the Dark side frightens you so much, you should leave and hide somewhere you'll never ever have to face it. The rest of us can handle it so you don't have to get your hands dirty. But if you want to make a difference... if you want to learn how to face evil... then you can't turn away from it."
She pulled out the blade of woe... an ancient and broken blade, little more than a hilt with a dark metal shard sticking out of it, and placed it on the table. Perhaps the Jedi present might feel the dark side energy it was soaked in.
"I've been in constant contact with the Dark side since Korriban. It causes a strain. But it can be done without giving up the light. And yes, the place we're going will be much worse than this. But a child afraid of falling will *never* learn to walk. And anyone who fears the dark so much that they'll run from it, will never be able to shine a light there."
She paused a moment, taking the blade and strapping it to her side again.
"We don't know what we'll find inside. Maybe it *is* as simple as you want it to be. Maybe we can get in, get out, and be done with it before nuking the place from orbit. Or maybe we can't. We won't know until we see for ourselves. It makes no sense to commit to either path right now. We'll figure it out when we get there."
She shrugged. "As for whatever we end up with, *of course* that information goes to the council."
Layne watched Lunda, briefly considering letting her get a reply in first but deciding instead to turn to Baesal and her question. Lunda can take the time to consider what Layne had said.
"Well, there were seperate internal security system, but we somehow managed to disable most of them. Except for powerful lightsaber equipped droids. Barely survived, somehow. Not that the Voice herself couldn't murder us all just by looking at us, when she finally showed up. She was far more powerful than any Darth, and I can only imagine the emperor being far more powerful still. Of course, she's not a threat anymore, I think."
