"Yes, and like all light side groups they adhere to the principal that life ito precious to ever be taken irrisponsibly.

The tenents in their code that make it so that they can not draw a blaster on a opponent first. That that makes it so that a blaster cannot be drawn in anger make them a force for the light. This adherence to that rule keeps them from falling to the dark side.

Even their fanatical ways keep them in the light. Unlike the jedi they use a weapon that is built mainly to kill. So they need a stricter code then the order." She closes her eyes in reflection. "This adherence to protect all life is a tenent of protecting the light and staying close to it. The Aiki take it to a extreme that they well never take life. The Shimurans also avoid taking life as the Aiki's. Jedi can only do so in self defense or in the defense of the innocent. These Teepos can only do so in defense as well."

"That ends the lesson at this time. Get some rest. Tommarow we well discuss the ways of the Jensaarai." There was a hint of sadness in her voice when she mentions the Jensaarai. As if she has some sor to of personel history with them besides her time training as one.

Stoping in her tracks she turns back to Kenshin. "I have one more question my student before we part for the night." (night but ship standerd time in order to keep the crew in a regular sleep cycle.)

"What well you do when this is all over? When you leave my ship, what well you do with all that I have taught you here." She puases for an answer.

Kenshin nodded in understanding as Vonta explained the ways of the Teepo Paladins. He got up and was about to leave when she threw him the last question. He paused, turned around and looked down a moment before speaking.

"I will go back to the Jedi Academy and pursue the rank of knight. After that, I will look over all the information I learned here. I will choose one of the orders, one that will fit the way I think best, and set off to look for them. I will ask them to accept me into their order and to train me in their ways..."

Suddenly, a question came to mind.

"Can I ask, why do you go about searching for these orders? Don't they all have each of their own differences? How do you manage to incorporate all these differences in yourself?"

"As my student Kenshin you have every right to ask that question. WHat is a teacher that cannot answer the questions of her student." She puases for consideration this question embodys her entire life so it is not a simple thing to put into words.

"I search out the old orders becuase I feel that there is a void left in the force in order specifically. A vision from long ago fortold that there would be a need to call upon all that the force had to offer. That with out this ancient knowledge the order would fall in the coming days."

"Yes they all have thier differences but they also have their simularities. The more that I learn about the light side sects the more that I have found that the more that I find that is different that the more I find that we are yet all the same. Guided by the light of the force. And with each art that I learn I add a little broader understanding of the force." She ends it at that.

"Now depart my student. Rest a bit and we well reconvene to discuss the way of the Jensaarai."

Kenshin nodded. He bowed and then left for his quarters. His mind was still swimming with thoughts as he arrived at his room.

Her reason made sense, but he thought it was too much for one person to gather. The reason to break off to a form a new sect was because there was something one thought was wrong. Therefore one would create an order that still served the light, but would do it differently. But wouldn't some of these differences contradict themselves? In these cases, one would need to have a separate guideline. Almost like a new sect itself. He wondered how Vonta handled it.

This was to be one of the more difficult lessons that vonta was to give. She had earned her self a place in the ranks of the Jensaarai but her history with them was not one that she she was all that proud of. Her ancestor Njaa Halcyon was in a way responsible for the creation of the Jensaarai.

A order of contradictions, they follow the light but use some ways that are more common in sith teachings. In her own quarters she got some rest Tommarow was another day.

The hologram Sabre appeared in vonta's quarters. "Captain." She addressed the observer jedi.

"Yes Sabre? Is any thing the matter?" She inquired to her ship's computer.

"No sir I..." She puased in a very human like way. "...I was just concerned about how you were doing is all sir. How the lessons are fairing with Master Katern."

Vonta smiled. Her A.I. programing was getting better then even she relized it was. Sabre showed concern a very real emotion even if she was only a computer she had all the charecteristics of a sentient being.

"My young student is fairing quit well. He seems to be soaking up every bit of information as it comes. And I must admit having a student to teach beats being a lonely observer of the old ways on my own." She turned to a mantle in her room. In it were the tools of her trades. Her Cortosis Jensaarai Armor, the Akendo aiki blade of a wood that grows in power as it is used, and a light saber. She carries her own but this one belonged to her grand mother.

"Wake me tommarow Sabre. For the lesson I teach tommarow may be one of the most important that I ever teach."

"Acknowledge. Good night Observer Jedi." At that the hologram faded away.

:: Observer jedi, it is what vonta had taken to call her self in the past few months. Funny that Sabre would use it as a formal title.:: With that the jedi turns in for but destined for sleep of a jedi.

Kenshin sighed. All these thoughts. He sat crossed-legged on the bed and meditated to clear his mind. Then, with his eyes still closed, he focused on one thought at a time.

Okay, lets start at the foundations. The Force. What is it? An energy field. A tapastry of the energy of every piece of matter in the universe.

The Light Side. The calm and compassionate nature of the Force.

The Dark Side. The turbulent and destructive nature of the Force.

The Shadow Side. The ability to go into the Light and Dark but not fully reside in either. Dangerous to do.

But did the Force divide itself into these groups or did sentinent beings do it? Is the Force linked more closely with Nature or sentinent thought?

Kenshin breathed out as he opened his eyes. Well, it was a big question, It would clear up much it had an answer. With that, he decided it was enough philosophying for a night and prepared for bed.

Vonta awakened again. The day had started time to begin. She went to her closet and dawned her Jensaarai cortosis armor. This was to be a interesting lesson.

"Sabre contact Kenshin and tell him to join me on the librairy deck."

The female voice of the ships computer answers. "At once."

----------


A beep exudes the space of Kenshins quarters on the saber strike.

"Master Kenshin, your prescence is requested on the librairy deck."

"Be there in a sec."

Kenshin threw on his dark brown cloak and headed out the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few moments later, Kenshin appeared through the door of the library deck.

"A welcome back my student." Vonta greeted Kenshin. She word a jedi over robe this time. Concealing the Jensaarai Armor that she wore.

"Computer start program Jensaarai I, Tutorial mode." The door to the holo room open and the two walked into the holo deck. Right with a orbital picture of the planet Susevfi the home world for the Jensaarai.

"To begin the Jensaarai are one of the most unusual of all the force sects. They practice some of the ways of the sith but they are in truth followers of the light. The Jensaarai ways involve the use of sith teachings but with the use of the light side. Becuase their main goal in life is to protect their home from the out side universe.

The Jensaarai got this veiw from several bad incounters with the other force users. First the original founders of the Jensaarai who were them selves followers of the sith found them selves defeated by members of the jedi order. The jedi killed the sith but left before they knew that there were others living on the planet. The familys of those that they had defeated.

The next generations grew up with a deep hate and distrust of the jedi. Equating them with evil and the sith with the forces of good. But later during the cullings by Darth Vader one of their number sought to join the dark lords crusade to kill all jedi. But he too was slain. The remaining Jensaarai choose to go into hiding focusing on defense of their kind as the main objective of their sect. Making them stalwart isolationists."

Kenshin listened as he observed the environment the holo provided. He nodded when she finished. It was a sad and turbulent past. He wondered if they ever found out about what really happened.
