(the writer here hello children of the abyss I am going to try and make this more realistic because as through the chapter you will see I found some things in the game pretty stupid and want to change that and make it sound more realistic and more like a real world. And I decided to space out the events of the games.)
I get up and walk to the common room of the Mantis and spoke out.
"All right before we take off I have a question do we have any allies?"
I asked this because I decided this would probably be the best way for me to encounter more missions. After all I now know following the missions of games will not provide me much points and rewards.
Cere:"no we don't it's just you me Greece and that scrapper you brought with you. And of course BD-1 "
I stared Blakely for a second I saw even Grease look like he wanted to say something but and just didn't so I decided to voice my own opinion.
"Are you insane? You're going after something a holocron hosting the names and locations of four sensitive children. And you don't make allies to help cover your asses when things hit the fan."
I couldn't help but say a bluntly like in the game I know they didn't have any allies it was mostly Cal work that I got them friends in the rebellion and several other places but still what the hell. Given this is a real world and not a game I expected them to have some allies or friends they can count on. I saw her a look annoyed I like to continue speaking.
"Like how are you going to survive when the empire peg the Mantis and all of us as rebels who are we going to go to. Cuz I can tell you this I bet the criminal underworld will not just not help us but also sell us out for a quick buck. Okay okay I have a new plan or at least I'm going to have to think of one since I decide where no longer going after the holocron's clues immediately. We need to build up Allies or to very least good enough friends that won't sell us out when we need to hide from the empire. Cuz even just now we only have two inquisitors after us or more specifically me. But when we get that holocron the empire will be hunting us down with everything they got with every Inquisitor they have. Every Purge trooper they have.."
I said this as I sat down on the couch nearby rubbing my eyes. As I just realized now that I'm in the situation how stupid the original Cal and this group was.
Cere:"the longer we wait the more time the empire will figure out what we're trying to do."
I shook my head at her before speaking again.
"Don't be stupid as long as you haven't leaked out any information about the holocron's history to anyone besides those in this room they won't find out as long as we don't open our mouths and don't say it over communicators or even hint at it. They will let bare minimum think we're just running and hiding."
I said pointing out the fact that so far we are the only ones who know about the holocrons existence to my knowledge because I remembered that throughout the game they talked about the holocron overcomes which Cere's apprentice the second sister could hack into.
"That's why I've only talked about the holocron when we're not on comps because if someone manages to hack into our calm systems and over here is us talking about it then we have a problem we need to rush to get the holocron. I believe what we should be doing is building up a power base something to back us up when shit hits the fan. And it will because I refuse to underestimate the empire as much as I possibly can."
I said making my point clear as I shake my head lightly. And then continued speaking hammering home the point.
"Besides even after we get the holocron what do we do stay on one planet training the next generation of Jedi until we're ultimately found by the empire and attack just like they did to the temple on coruscant?."
That seem to shut her up I saw even grease knotted his head in favor of my words as I decided to finish off the conversation.
"We need allies and if we're going to win a fight against the empire. We need to form a rebellion start off small like our group and eventually grow it after all even if we get the holocron gather every child on that list train them to at least be equal to be as skilled a Jedi Knight. That's like what 10,000 people maybe less? That won't do we need an army and a cost to rally the people of the Galaxy to fight against tyranny against the empire. Because after all the empire spans practically the entire galaxy. That is billions if not trillions of soldiers they could probably Mass as easy as breathing.
Not to mention we would also have to face the inquisitors the fist of the emperor Darth Vader. And finally the emperor himself. Not to mention the latter two just Inquisitor alone were all Jedi knights well trained fighters are now even stronger because they touched on the dark side they embraced it and now use its power as their own. The dark side gives power very easily but makes the user typically more emotional more prone to violence. Thus they are a lot stronger than just a Jedi Knight."
I stopped talking as I watch her seem to sit down on the edge of the hollow table seemingly lost in thought. I began thinking to myself.
"And that's just ordinary people who can mean training the soldiers at this point in time I believe that empire has it fully shut down Camino thus they can make clones as well they may take a bit longer than regular people but they are certainly be of higher quality. I'm giving it was clones that put down the Jedi killing Jedi Masters knights and paddle ones. Though I will meant the argument that is because they were programmed to do this there was no malicious intent and when they decided to turn on the Jedi not just that one factor but there are plenty others that complicated in the tragedy of order 66. But still."
I shook my head lightly as I heard Cere began to speak.
Cere:"you're right Cal. I do not like to admit it but you are. So what do you think we should do?"
I blink for a second as I stay silent for a moment before speaking.
"First. We need to gather allies and preferably get a much bigger ship That can hold both the Mantis and the eclipse. This way we can possibly avoid the situation of being caught in a tractor beam and only being left with I would say two people who can fight which is me and you cere.
Second we need to find a place where we call our home base. That way as our rebellion grows we have a place where all of us can gather and make plans.
Finally 3rd we need some people to infiltrate the empire's ranks preferably those with absolute loyalty to us and can be discreet. That way of our home base is ever found out we can pack everything up and leave and find a new place to call base and with spies we will be able to find targets we can hit fast loot and escape quickly. They keep the rebellion well supplied which I would say for the early to mid game of the war. But the late game will be dealing with heavy supply shortages as a rebellion will grow bigger and bigger and the empire starts putting more security around their transports thus at that point we'd have to convince some planets to secretly join the rebellion and fuel us with resources."
I stopped talking as I looked at everyone in the room they all seem to understand my point or at least I hope so. Given this plan would not be a fast to complete one I decide to add a few more bits.
"Obviously as we complete these goals we can still search for the clues of the hologram it just won't be our main objective because like I said even if we get the holocron and the children on the list we won't be able to fight against the empire but just that small number of people."
I close my eyes as I let everyone think about it it was about 5 minutes before I could hear Cere.
Cere:"all right we'll go with your plan because as much as I dislike not being on the trail the holocron to get as fast as possible I can understand your point and I can't argue with it because you're right."
I'm not in my head and then I got notification from the system.
[You have caused a major change in the story. You received 5,000 points. Your current balance is 5,150. You also received two quests that are main story quests.
[Quest 1: the spark the set the Galaxy ablaze part 1
You've taken the first step of starting a rebellion against the empire like every great upheaval you must start small obtain 50 allies 4 of 50]
[Quest 2: the fleet
Your rebellion is starting to not just expand to ground assaults against the empire but also space assaults and thus you must build yourself a fleet. Gather 50 ships 0 of 50
Note to The Host the eclipse and mantis does not count as ships that could participate in being part of a fleet since the system categorizes a ship to be part of flea must be at least a cruiser or above.]
Signature quests I couldn't help the twitch in my eyebrows as I saw these two quests I relax shaking my head as I just accept these two quests and forget about them. After a few seconds I spoke to everyone on the Mantis
"All right everyone let us think of where we can help people who will willingly join a rebellion against the empire."
I asked them because I frankly didn't know any immediate areas that we could help in order to gain allies that would be willing enough to fight against the literal empire of the Galaxy. And didn't help that the original Cal did not pay attention to the affairs of the Galaxy all that much. And any crisis I know of would happen years later. So I can only rely on them the hell think.
