"Change is inevitable.  It's how one deals with it that defines them.  And as to Aethan's idea, it could have far-reaching consequences.  The Jedi follow the light, as they wish to call it, and the Sith, the darkness.  We walk in the cool shadows between and we see.  We aren't blinded by the ideals of one group or another."<br/><br/>She wasn't about to go into the history, but made no effort to hide her thoughts.  Had the Council, long ago, taken the Mandalorian threat seriously, a whole chain of tragic events might never have unfolded, "We were brought out of stasis to train a bunch of Jedi?  Is this what I'm understanding?  Where is the grave threat?  Or do they intend for us to teach them and be rid of us because we won't follow them absolutely, blinded by the Light?"<br/><br/>The near annihilation of the Cathar homeworld, the fall of Revan and Malak, the loss of a full third of the Republic fleet and many Jedi as they turned to follow Revan, himself... And that was the tip of the meteor.  Billions died on Taris.  And how many Jedi died on Dantooine?  All this because the Council considered the Mandalorians insignificant and not a real threat.<br/><br/>But without all of this, the Order of Revan would never have come into being, and her own destiny might have been very different.<br/><br/>Had Alana found these facts in her library, or had the Council covered their tracks and doomed themselves to repeat history?  "Given your observations, I have to question the idea of training others in our methods.  Meet me in the garden and we can discuss this matter."
