Jaidam looked on as his teacher, his master in this endeavor for nine years to be enlightened by the force. Their role of guardians of peace and justice was known to him yet… they seemed to be so passive about it. Yes he knew they were supposed to be neutral in all affairs but this was just intolerable. How could an order claim to stand for those beliefs yet betray it so often?<strong>"We cannot just sit idly by and watch as the Mandalorians conquer everything in their path. We couldn't call ourselves keepers of the peace otherwise."</strong>He said with his hands upon his knees looking at Merryn.<strong>"This war has to end before the Republic is destroyed and the Jedi Order with it."</strong>His eyes still held that fire within them after all these years and it wasn't hard to tell that he held some degree of passionate devotion to both the Order, the Force, and the Republic. The Force had freed him from his bonds, the Order gave him control over himself and the Republic was his home. Woe to those whom would threaten that.
