This will take several hours.

That's okay! When he seems to have worn himself out she will (coordinate behind the scenes and) shout "you done?"

He narrows his eyes like he's considering restarting, but doesn't actually do anything more.

And she walks down the swathe of destruction putting everything back. (She is followed by an invisible teleporter who can enable this by clearing debris and placing chips).

He just kind of sits there. Angrily.

"...want a computer or something? Or, like, a nifty house - I can make arbitrary material stuff, that's what demons do, if you want like a really big castle or whatever I can make it for you-"

"Go away."

She leaves.

He sits and meditates for a while, completely unresponsive. Then he erupts in a blast of not-quite-light, leaving behind a small crater and no body.

This result is reported. They continue to try talking with Sith.

About a third are willing to come quietly. Of those, about two in five are actually sincere.

He can often tell - getting to near-perfect accuracy, after a bunch of them, but he dislikes killing people on the basis of even highly accurate intuition and the situation does not seem to warrant mindreading. Two in fifteen is 1300 people; that is a lot better than 'none of them' even if it the nos are varying degrees of painful and frustrating.

Can they get any of the insincere ones to do something better than suicide by saying the claimed ship departure date is in two weeks? By having the first person they meet be indestructible? ...by singing calming songs?

Calming songs work a lot better than the other options. For as long as they're being sung.

Indefinite nonconsensual mind control is not a better solution than letting them dramatically self-destruct but if they can be reasoned with while on the calming songs he is tentatively willing to keep up the calming songs a few hours while they are fully informed about the aspects of the situation it has been deemed safe for them to be informed of.

They will sit still and listen to their interlocutors during the song. Most are still unreasonable, but that will get an extra few to calm down for good.

And if they play the songs in the labyrinth and then go around to make the offer again?

They can get the same proportion of responses in those remaining.

Well. That seems like about all they can really do. They go home to deal with planets that aren't full of melodramatic fragile suicidal murderers. It's very refreshing.

And how's the Empire handling the transition -

They pretty okay with it by now.

Great. Then they can start rolling out new tech where it'll be useful. ...how about the Republic, are the Jedi as inclined to invent themselves enemies as Cipher Nine was afraid of?

Not so far. They do want to know what, if anything, he is intending to do about new Force sensitives born in his region of space.

It seems like a good idea for them to be brought up around good influences. He's unconvinced that the Jedi are good influences, but he'd be happy to learn more about that.

The Jedi will just sort of uncomfortably pretend they didn't really hear that last bit. Here is what the younglings' training looks like. Math and science and social studies and other standard child education, exercise and saber training, meditation and Force philosophy, lots of rhetoric about selflessness and sacrifice and not becoming emotionally attached to things or people.

...yeah, that sounds possibly dangerous. Like, for example, if he had been raised that way he would be a psychopath. Does that problem ever come up.
