[ It's very obvious where Jaina is sitting as the feed pans out. The kolto tanks on Coruscant, where she came back after she died. She looks haggard, a hand going through her hair as she stares straight at the tanks as if waiting for something ]

[ she clears her throat ]

The Sith...[ Jaina closes her eyes ]

They aren't what we thought. Not all of them

Jaina.

...hey.

[What can she say? There's no words of comfort, only what she can send through the Force.]

And Revan.

[ Jaina closes herself off to it. Surprising. ]

I don't know about Revan.

[iamomega]

That's war for you. It's rarely as easy or clear-cut as advertised.

[abovetwinsuns]

I understand war. Trust me on that one.

[ she scowls ]

This is different.

[iamomega]

Enlighten me.

[abovetwinsuns]

[ a snort and an eyeroll ]

The fact that the good guys aren't the good guys, for starters.

Private

[breakmychest]

...so how likely is it you came back completely brainwashed?

Re: Private

[abovetwinsuns]

It's a change in perspective. These are kids, Spike.

Private

[breakmychest]

Revan's not a kid.

Re: Private

[abovetwinsuns]

No, but the majority of his recruits at the academy are.

[initformoney]

...so, what, you're just okay with this guy just kidnapping us?

[abovetwinsuns]

[ and Jaina's just...not going to pull any punches. Sorry Solo daddy, she's upset ]

He's also the man who gave you back your dead son.

[ she looks at the kolto tank ]

He brought me back from the dead, too.

[initformoney]

And neither of you would be dead if he'd just left us all at home! [...he doesn't know about Anakin. Well, he knows the kid exists, but they haven't talked.]

[abovetwinsuns]

[ Jaina looks at him, her eyes full of hurt and also anger ]

Not all of us are back home.

[slayerdom]

Well in that case, let's all go be friends. We can take one of those big ol' shuttle transports and all pick up and bail to Korriban. If all the Sith are so friendly, I'm sure it'll be a real party. [ The sarcastic faux-cheerfulness drops quickly into a flat, narrow tone. ] Except, you know, that time of the night when they start killing and torturing people.

[abovetwinsuns]

[ the kolto tank begins to splinter again ]

I really hope that isn't the sound of patronizing that I'm hearing, Summers.

Jacen's dead. Killed by Malak. [ the kolto tank cracks open, spilling its contents onto the floor ] I understand that there are some of them that need to be stopped.

But it's not that simple. And you're an idiot if you think it is.

[slayerdom]

I know he's dead. And that's why if you really think sticking around and making besties with the Sith is the best use of your time? You are so not the person I thought you were. Your brother's dead because of them.

I don't care what excuses they have, I don't care how complicated is. There's a line that you don't cross. Torture? Murder? [ She says it in a tone that indicates those are clearly over the line. ] Jacen was my friend.

[abovetwinsuns]

If it escaped your attention, I'm not on Korriban anymore. And I'm sure you already know, but the only reason I went there in the first place was to save Jacen's life.

If you know Jacen, you know he wouldn't want to you to see this in just wrong or right. Revan and Malak are different and so are the people who are following them.
