Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

= Introduction = THE SITH LORDS

It is a perilous time for the galaxy. A brutal civil war has all but destroyed the Jedi Order, leaving the ailing Republic on the verge of collapse.

Amid the turmoil, the evil Sith have spread across the galaxy, hunting down and destroying the remaining Jedi Knights.

Narrowly escaping a deadly Sith ambush, the last known Jedi clings to life aboard a battered freighter near the ravaged world of Peragus....…

"It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it."

―Kreia

 

"Know that there was once a Darth Traya. And that she cast aside that role, was exiled, and found a new purpose. But there must always be a Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn."

―Kreia

 

"To be united by hatred is a fragile alliance at best."

―Kreia, speaking of the Sith Triumvirate

 

"It is good that you have never wondered what lay beneath her robes, if her alabaster skin was as white and unblemished as her face. Or if perhaps she bore the scars of slavery... and if that would stir you more. Perhaps her deferent tone would change once you held her by the throat, and showed her how far a Jedi can fall."

―Kreia, warning Jedi Exile about Visas Marr

 

Kreia: "I have had enough of this – I will be in my chambers."

Atton: "Yeah, me, too. I'll be in my chambers. But since I don't have any, I guess I'll just go to the cockpit like I always do."

―Kreia and Atton Rand

 

"Direct action is not always the best way. It is a far greater victory to make another see through your eyes than to close theirs forever."

―Kreia

 

Exile: "And I thought I was cold."

Kreia: "Oh, you have promise. But wait until you have more years fall upon you, and you will see what a shell your heart will become."

―Kreia, after the Jedi Exile asks her about her persuasion tactics

 

"Revan was power. Staring into his eyes was like staring into the heart of the Force. Even then, you could see the Jedi he would slay etched on his soul."

―Kreia, on Revan — Gnome-speakernotesListen (file info)

 

"Perhaps you were expecting some surprise, for me to reveal a secret that had eluded you, something that would change your perspective of events, shatter you to your core. There is no great revelation, no great secret. There is only you."

―Darth Traya, to the Jedi Exile

 

"There is much weight, much craving attached to such a tiny thing of light. For the male, it seems to have inordinate importance. But we shall leave such male preoccupations for philosophers and cultural historians."

―Kreia, on the lightsaber

 

Canderous: "Don't pretend to understand us – we Mandalorians are a breed apart."

Kreia: "If by 'apart' you mean scattered, broken, and lost, then yes, you are correct."

―Canderous Ordo and Kreia

 

"It is not the destination that matters—it is the journey."

―Kreia, to the Jedi Exile

 

Vrook: "You were deafened."

Kreia: "At last, you could hear."

Kavar: "You were broken."

Kreia: "You were whole."

Zez-Kai Ell: "You were blinded."

Kreia: "And at last... you saw."

―Kreia, Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar, Kavar, and Zez-Kai Ell, speaking to the Jedi Exile about Malachor V

 

Kreia: "Enough! Step away from her!"

Vrook: "Wh—?"

Kreia: "Step away! She has brought truth, and you condemn it? The arrogance! You will not harm her. You will not harm her ever again."

―Kreia, preventing the Jedi Council from sentencing the Jedi Exile

 

"Nothing is impossible with the Force."

―Kreia

 

Atton: "Explain something to me."

Kreia: "I do not have the years required – nor the desire to indulge you."

Atton: "If she served in the war... well, Jedi are supposed to be tough. Capable."

Kreia: "Yes, and what are they without the Force? Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains? They rely on it, depend on it, more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and you will see nothing more than a woman – or a man. A child."

―Atton Rand and Kreia, having a friendly conversation about the Jedi Exile on Telos IV

 

"It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it."

―Kreia, speaking to Atris of her fall to the dark side.

 

"You may hold Malachor in your grasp, but I hold the answers to your past and future in mine. Would you destroy us both before learning them? If so, then do it—for you have already failed me."

―Darth Traya, in her final confrontation with the Jedi Exile

 

Surik: "Kreia, what are you—are you a Jedi, a Sith?"

Kreia: "Does it matter? Of course it does, such titles allow you to break the galaxy into light and dark, categorize it. Perhaps I am neither, and I hold both as what they are, pieces of a whole. Know that I am your teacher, and that is enough."

Surik: "Then what were you?"

Kreia: "What do you wish to hear? That I once believed in the code of the Jedi? That I felt the call of the Sith, that perhaps, once, I held the galaxy by its throat? That for every good deed I did, I brought equal harm upon the galaxy? That perhaps what the greatest of the Sith Lords knew of evil, they learned from me? What would it matter now? There is only so much comfort in knowing such things, and it is not who I am now."

―Meetra Surik, questioning Kreia

 

"You must understand. I did not wish the Jedi dead. Defeated... perhaps. I merely wished them to see that they and their teachings were wrong. That one could not truly understand the Force simply by adhering to the Jedi Code."

―Kreia

 

"Let me show you—you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the exile."

―Kreia, speaking to Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar, Kavar, and Zez-Kai Ell, moments before severing their connection with the Force

 

Atris: "I am Atris, Jedi Master… the last historian of the Jedi… the last of the Jedi."

Kreia: "Those are titles, words you cling to as the darkness falls around you."

Atris: "You are that which has attacked the Jedi… you are Sith."

Kreia: "'Sith' is a title, yes, but like you, the title is not who I am. It is not what I believe. For you… it is different."

―Atris and Kreia

 

Surik: "Did you love me?"

Kreia: "I would have killed the galaxy to preserve you. I would have let the galaxy die. You are more rare than you know, and what you have taught yourself must not be allowed to die. You are not a Jedi. Not truly. And it is for that that I love you."

―Meetra Surik and Kreia

 

Visas: "And so you wait, as a shadow."

Kreia: "Yes, we are alike that way, blinded one."

Visas: "I would have thought you would walk with her amongst the Jedi. But that is not the way of the Sith, is it?"

Kreia: "Do not speak to me of the ways of the Sith. You of all of us have no conception of what it means to be Sith."

―Visas Marr, confronting Kreia

 

"Korriban shall be as it always was. A graveyard for the darkest of the Sith Lords, still whispering within their tombs. It shall always be a source of evil, spawning threats throughout the millennia. It, like Malachor, brushes the edges of the empire that waits in the dark. And like Malachor, the Sith have forgotten it… for a time. They will remember."

―Kreia

 

"A culture's teachings, and most importantly, the nature of its people, achieve definition in conflict. They find themselves… or find themselves lacking. Too long did the Republic remain unchallenged. It is a stagnant beast that labors for breath… and has for centuries. The Jedi Order was the heart that sustained its sickness—now the Jedi are lost, we shall see how long the Republic can survive."

―Kreia

 

"Plans are fragile things and life often dashes expectations to the ground."

―Kreia

 

"War... is a hunger. And there are spirits in the galaxy whose hunger is never satisfied."

―Kreia

 

Kreia: "If you have other questions, find me in the crew quarters... there, we will speak more."

Atton: "Hey, don't stop your long, boring rants on my account. I was just getting sleepy-eyed."

―Kreia and Atton Rand

 

"If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself… and weaken them. It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that struggle from them, cheapened it. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger for the victory."

―Kreia to Meetra Surik

 

"I was a historian once, gathering the relics of the Jedi, learning the ancient mysteries. Always, there were more questions."

―Kreia

"There is no truth in the Force. But there is truth in you, exile. And that is why I chose you."

―Kreia

 

"No game of dejarik can be won without pawns, and this may prove to be a very long game."

―Kreia

 

"Know that much may happen here, but above all, do not forget this—you may trust in me. We cradle each other's lives, and what threatens one of us, threatens us both. And if you find you cannot trust me, trust in your training. Trust in yourself. Never doubt what you have done."

―Kreia's final advice to Meetra Surik

 

"If a lightsaber loses its power, is it still a lightsaber? And if a Jedi loses her powers, is she still a Jedi?"

―Kreia

 

"I use it as I would use a poison, and in the hopes of understanding it, I will learn the way to kill it. But perhaps these are the excuses of an old woman who has grown to rely on a thing she despises."

―Darth Traya on the Force

 

Sorry for link but this is the entirety of the you were afraid transcript, don’t know the options but its a clean script of what the masters say and kreia. http://www.allreadable.com/0c51ZV2

               
 * It. it is different. It has been some time. Forgive me but I need to rest. Go on. The council awaits. I will remain here. Whatever answers the council have are for you alone. I am tired. The journey has been a long one, and I need to Center myself
 * Know that much may happen here but above all do not forget this. You may trust in me. We cradle each other's lives and what threatens one of us threatens us both, and if you find you cannot trust me, trust in your training. Trust in yourself. Never doubt what you have done. All your decisions have brought you to this point, and now perhaps they shall see what you have become.
 * It is not as it was
 * But perhaps that is for the best
 * We were wondering when you would arrive this moment has taken some time to reach us and I imagine you have many questions
 * For perhaps you have come for revenge. We cast you out of the Order because you followed Revan to war. There was no other reason.
 * No, there was another… You had become different somehow, changed. The war had changed you.
 * You were no longer a Jedi. But we could not tell you why. Some explanations mean nothing unless the one who suffers comes to the answer on their own. What had happened to you was punishment enough… and the Jedi do not kill their prisoners.
 * And if you had stayed, you would have changed us. And that we could not allow.
 * It is not an easy thing to explain… surely you are familiar with Force bonds. It is the bond that develops between apprentice and Master, when one truly understands another. It is developed over time, through understanding of each other. Yet you do it so easily, and we do not know why.
 * You make connections through the Force, and it resonates with those who travel with you. The resonance is even greater when they, too, are Force Sensitive.
 * Your actions affect others more than you know. You draw others to you, especially those strong in the Force.
 * Those that travel with you...
 * There is something wrong here… a disturbance in the Force.
 * ...they follow you, without question. Without hesitation.
 * Against their instincts, and sometimes against their sense.
 * This bond - it travels both ways. When you feel pain, or strong emotion, it resonates within you.
 * And that is why Malachor echoes within you still. The screams of countless thousands, Jedi and Mandalorians, crushed by the planet's gravity, annihilated.
 * To hear the Force over such pain… it is not possible. It was too much for any Jedi to endure… and it is a wonder that you did not die there when thousands perished, all those you had fought with and struggled with. You cut yourself off, because you had to if you were to survive. You had hints of it on the war on Dxun. Malachor was simply the final blow.
 * *sigh*
 * You were deafened.
 * At last, you could hear.
 * You were broken.
 * You were whole.
 * You were blinded.
 * And at last, you saw.
 * When you returned to us, we saw what had happened. You carry all those deaths at Malachor within you, and it has left a hole, a hunger that cannot be filled.
 * In you, we saw a wound in the Force.
 * In you, we saw the end of the Force.
 * You are a cipher, forming bonds, leeching the life of others, siphoning their will and dominating them. It is the teaching of these new Sith, to feed on others, on other Force Sensitives. They are symptomatic of the wound in the Force. You are a breach that must be closed. You transmit your pain, your suffering through the Force. Within you, we see something worse than merely the teachings of the Sith. What you carry may mean the death of the Force… and the death of the Jedi.
 * You must have noticed as you've fought across all these planets, killing hundreds only to become more and more powerful. Why do you think that was?
 * But what's worse, is that bonding you have. it hasn't gone away. It's gotten stronger, and the more attachments you form, the more you draw others to you.
 * And that is why you are a threat to us all.
 * You know what the choice is. If you don't warn them, then the Republic will fall. All those countless lives innocent lives. Or the one.
 * What if other Jedi went to war as you did, suffered the same events, and emerged as you did. What if there was a crucible that trained such Jedi to consume and kill?
 * For you, Malachor was that crucible.
 * What's worse, is these Sith that we face… I fear that they have learned the lesson of Malachor all too well. It is what allows them to prey on Force users, to become stronger when Force Sensitives are near.
 * Somehow, they have learned their hunger from you. And so you have brought about the end of the Jedi, and perhaps all the knowledge of the Force. But it is of no consequence. Your ability to make such connections, such bonds, so easily are why you cannot remain.
 * And so you wait, as a shadow.
 * Yes, we are alike that way, blinded one.
 * I would have thought you would walk with her amongst the Jedi. But that is not the way of the Sith, is it?
 * Do not speak to me of the ways of the Sith. You of all of us have no conception of what it means to be Sith.
 * You are a threat to living creatures, and all who feel the Force.
 * You will lead the Sith here. And that we cannot allow.
 * Our judgment before remains: exile. You must leave… and you must leave without your tie to the Force. It is a punishment reserved for only a few and only when necessary, but we have the power to cut you off from the Force, and it must be done.
 * Forgive us... but it is necessary.
 * Do not be afraid you shall feel no pain, but this must be done. As long as you feel the Force, you are a danger to those around you.
 * Enough! Step away from her.
 * Wh-?
 * Step away!
 * She has brought truth, and you condemn it? The arrogance! You will not harm her. You will not harm her ever again.
 * I thought you had died in the Mandalorian Wars...
 * Die? No. Became stronger, yes.
 * Is this your new Master, Exile? If so, then you follow Revan's path. Her teachings will cause you to fall as surely as he did.
 * She is difficult to see… she's like a shadow of the Exile. We sought to lure the Sith out… and now they have come to us.
 * How could you ever hope to know the threat you face, when you have never walked in the dark places of the galaxy faced war and death on such a scale. If you had traveled far enough, rather than waiting for the echo to reach you, perhaps you would have seen it for what it was. Did you not hear its call on Dantooine, Vrook, on its scarred surface and in the minds of the settlers? I have endured your corruption of my other students you shall not have this one. And you, Kavar, so close to the call of Dxun, tell me. Did you not feel what poured from the moon, what had taken place there? And Zez-Kai Ell, to hide upon Nar Shaddaa, yet blind yourself to all that happens there. So close to understanding the Force… so close to giving it up. There is a place in the galaxy where the dark side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface, drowns them in the power of the dark side it corrupts all life. And it feeds on death. Revan knew the power of such places… and the power in making them. They can be used to break the will of others... of Jedi, promising them power, and turning them to the dark side. Did you never wonder how Revan corrupted so many of the Jedi, so much of the Republic, so quickly? The Mandalorian Wars were a series of massacres that masked another war, a war of conversion. Culminating a final atrocity that no Jedi could walk away from… save one. And that is what I sought to understand. How one could turn away from such power, give up the Force... and still live. But I see what happened now. It is because you were afraid. As you would pass judgment on her, I have come to pass judgment on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars? Of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the Exile.
 * It is done - she is no more. Take me to Atris. She will have the strength to do what the Council cannot.
 * What are we going to do?! If we don't stop her… then everyone, everywhere… they're going to lose their lives...
 * I know you can hear me. I have always known. It is why I followed you. I have destroyed planets for you, General. But now, this once, if we could save something in this galaxy… I need to do this, or I will die inside. Like I died at Malachor V.

many things do I see as I gaze here from the heart of Malacor this place channels such energies if it matters to you at this last moment I shall look into the future and tell you of what I see it is my last gift to you from one exile to another the Republic will fall as it always has a fall that will take millennia under the care of the herds of Earth or the surface of tellus will bloom again and its golden fields shall again Harbor scientists and thinkers and complacent and peaceful it shall forget the time that saw Kara orbited lips and brought fire to its skies but it shall be a home world again to others who will stretch out across the galaxy and bring life Dantooine shall survive the community you saved shall be the foundation upon which Dantooine shall be happy to pull again they shall drive back the Raiders the Mandalorians and all that strike at the outer rim the Republic shall again established their presence there and shield it with its forces and Dantooine shall heal be safe and its skies free the ruins of the Academy shall remain Nar Shaddaa shall persist as it always has but there will be a heart to the world where there was nothing before where once the lost and disposed were trapped there now they will struggle and grow from despair shall come hope Queen Thalia shall have a long reign much good will come of it she will as she has ruled wisely and well under and shall remain in the Republic and the world shall prosper though its people shall over time lose their customs in the ocean of the Republic and become the people of Onderon no longer Korriban shall be as it always was a graveyard for the darkest of the Sith Lords still whispering within their Tunes it shall always be a source of evil spawning threats throughout the millennia it like Malik or brushes the edges of the Empire that waits in the dark and like Malik or the Sith have forgotten it for a time they will remember reven knew this you travel with them for so long yet you do not know them still feel them through the force field what they feel hear their thoughts and know them as I fought to know you they were the lost Jedi you know the true Jedi upon which the future will be built they simply needed a leader and a teacher she will stop hunting life and instead live it she was not born to be a predator despite her true father and the life she led within the shadow of Nar Shaddaa she will miss you and think of you often you who awakened her to what life is she will live but only for a time her death will occur in many years time on a forgotten planet saving the lives of others but it will be her choice and she will have no regrets many battles does that one have left in him as revenant the general needs an army as he needs those he trusts and can Duras is a loyal beast no matter how much he is broken upon revans will they will die a death for the last millennia until all that remains is their code their history and in the end the shell of their armor upon the shell of a man too easily slain by Jedi the blinded one shall return to her homeworld and she shall look upon the surface of that world and perhaps at last see what she was meant to see her life has been changed by your meeting in ways that may not be felt for decades to come he cannot help but love you in his way it is a pure ideal love he holds yet somehow it never dulls in your presence or through your actions if he leaves this place he will leave the galaxy behind him he will sit upon the new council reluctantly as all good men do and he will not forget the Jedi who had lost the force yet showed him the way to reclaim it after that I do not know I do know that you must leave him behind the same choice that reven made where you are destined you must not take anyone you love Ackman is as always the fool and the force watches out for one such as him I feel as it does for the old such as I he is a fool and that should answer all your questions he has nothing to offer one such as you and even a fool such as Atman is not so ignorant of that fact I would have killed the galaxy to preserve you I would have let the galaxy die you are more rare than you know and what you have taught yourself must not be allowed to die you are not a Jedi not truly and it is for that that I love you their paths are unknown to me even the small one who waits for you outside this place I sense it has one last journey for you you must go where revin did into the Unknown Regions where the Sith the true Sith wait in the dark for the great war that comes it is because he remembered what lay buried here this place its teachings it paved the way to Korriban you know the remnants here and because Malek or like Korriban is on the fringes of the ancient Sith Empire where the Sith wait for us in the dark you thought that the corrupted remnants of the Republic the machines spawned by technology that revan led into battle were thus if you are wrong the Sith is a belief and its Empire the true Sith Empire rules elsewhere and revenue that the true war is not against the Republic it waits for us beyond the outer rim and he is gone to fight it in his own way and he left the ebon Hawk and all its machines behind for he knew he would not need them and like you he knew he must leave all loves behind as well no matter how deeply one cares for them because such attachments are not the way of the Jedi and they would only bring do to them both in the dark places where he now it would have helped had he made her understand but she was always strong with that one and did not understand this revenue if he had asked would I have gone I do not know but he will need warriors Sith and Jedi any who can be sent off to him into the depths of space for any who know the way perhaps you shall go there with him and do battle at the end of all things instead I remained here and now show others the way
