"Hrm. Tips for getting there? Smuggler friends perhaps?"

"I could put out some feelers."

"That would be very kind of you."

"Thank me after you see what kind of ship I turn up, huh."

"That's fair." Pause. "Why are you going to help me?"

Shrug. "I've been where you're at. Not exactly, but close enough."

"Well. Regardless of the kind of ship, I'm very thankful."

"If I had less to do, I might seek out the Voss myself. They must have a fascinating perspective."

"What, if I might ask, do you have to do?"

"Kill a member of the Dark Council."

"...why?"

"He tried to kill me first."

"That's as good a reason as any, I suppose. Why did he?"

"A grudge against my former master. He wished to destroy her and all her legacy."

"...and you're part of her legacy—that is the pettiest thing I've heard in my life and I was a Jedi padawan."

"One of the advantages of being a Councilor is that your petty grudges need not remain petty, because you can back them up with the weight of Empire."

"I'm pretty sure it's still petty, Empire or no."

Shrug.

"What's your plan to kill him?"

"Accumulate enough power to be able to crush him by barely lifting a finger, then doing just that."

"I expect the method of power accumulation is a secret."

"If no one knows what you're doing, it's much harder for them to stop you."

"...honestly unless you want to continue the stupid conflicts I have no reason to want to stop you, killing someone who's working to kill you is a very reasonable thing in my books. But also you're apparently pretty nonchalant about killing in general which I find somewhat more objectionable."

"You are either desensitized to violence very early at the Academy on Korriban, or you become a lesson for the others."

"I'm not sure I'd ever become desensitised to the point where I'd just inflict it without spending a lot of time thinking of third alternatives. It's too—easy to slip into the mode of thinking where that seems like the only or best solution. It probably also helps that I value all sapient life."
