The Flow of Love

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna scooted a few inches away from Ni and her body stiffened a little as she sat up straight. "We simply did what had to be done. I am sure he is being interrogated about what he has done and how he evolved that disease. I would personally like to participate in that interrogation, but what he has done is in the past and I'm sure the Republic interrogators are more effective than I am. Last time I interrogated an individual, I unintentionally silenced him for good." Unna showed no signs of guilt, although she insulated that she had killed the interrogation suspect. She shrugged it off, questioning Ni, "What would you have done?"

She listened to Ni speak of the Jedi code. "I do not subscribe to the Jedi code. It is my belief that the Jedi code is the undoing of many Jedi, for it seems impossible to follow such a straight and narrow path for all ones life. It is easy to stray, which creates a vast expanse of ways to go astray. Of course, those who stick to that path are among the most virtuous of all beings, but is that really the best way? Dark and light are two extremes, but there is everything that is in between that the Jedi seem to forget. Become the slightest big tainted..." Unna shivered at the word and paused momentarily, "and it is urged that you immediately scrub yourself clean from even the smallest spec of dirt on your soul."

"The code strives to maintain that perfection at all costs..." Unna dipped her hand into the water again. "The friend I speak to in the fountains..." Unna paused as her mind silently replayed the vision of insurgents destroying the speeder that she and her friends were seconds from boarding, along with Lady Baku. "Her life would have been the price for me to keep myself pure, as well as the lives of the very Jedi who paid more attention to the fact that I had tarnished that light, rather than what was spared. That is why I believe those toward the dark end of the spectrum have the upper hand."

Unna had more thoughts on the matter, but she wanted to give Ni the opportunity to share her own. She wouldn't have asked such a question if she hadn't already contemplated the answer.
