The Grey Side of the Force?!

Kenobi

"Hey, you jedis are supposed to be good for that, right?!" this . . . gray skinned woman dares to ask me!

Who is SHE to question me like this? In my own house in the middle of the bloody . . . ?!

. . .

Oh no, Obi Wan, do please get a grip on yourself! In the end she IS right and perhaps she should be a bit annoyed with me. After all, I must admit that I have been doing more than a bit of staring at her group than would be considered polite (even at this unholy hour of the night).

It is just that . . . that I find something very . . .

Something about them takes me aback, shall we say! I sense, now that I am within close enough distance to overcome whatever means they'd employed in cloaking their general locality . . . that they have equal measures of both . . . .Light and Dark sides of the Force running through them. I mean enough power at their beck and call to rival . . . .to rival a fully trained Jedi knight.

. . .

Force sensitive, trained but with Light AND Dark in equal measures? That's absurd! Would have never believed that particular news if I . . . They're gray, and I don't mean skin coloration like this young girl before me, either!

That's . . . never happened before in the entire history I am familiar with as Jedi . . not even slightly. So that said, please forgive me if I am taken aback here! So how did they manage this? If I was to have even broached such a possibility in front of the Jedi Council, you know what they would have done to me for that heresy?!

Calm, Obi-Wan. Calm. Focus.... All will be revealed and explained in time!

. . .

Or it better well damn be explained if I have anything to say on the matter! For NOW it appears that these strangers are benign enough but I wish to keep close tabs on them, just in case...they are not. Though what exactly to do if/when something must be done shall remain to be seen (and caution must be maintained because besides being an unknown quantity they DO have the advantage of numbers).

So, that said (or not said), I wish my former teacher and friend a good night, releasing him back into the spiritual realm to commune with the Force (and perhaps bring more news to digest for me later). Then . . . I sigh and suggest that one wretched spaceport. The one place that I dare say is the worst for scum and villiany (which these strangers seemed set upon anyway, I find out).

Already, they'd dismissed the idea of going through more . . . legitimate spaceports. Lessen the chance of Imperial involvement, the way they (and I) wish to travel.

Must give them points for that at least (if not exactly good decorum being the TIME we are heading out here).

"Let us be on our way then," I sigh. "After I at least pack for this odyssey."

Something tells me that this little "jaunt" may take longer (and be more involved) than what these "Tee Ess Aye" fellows are hoping for! But when I insist one side trip before going into that one shadowy spaceport . . .

1. "Do we really have to pick up Luke for this trip?"
