Selena Halcyon
Jedi Master
Exile, she thought. The word just sat in her mind. It droned on over and over again. The strangeness of it really made her think about the concept. What did it really mean for her? Yes, she had been removed from the Jedi Order, which was odd. After all, she had served on its council. Uncovered the plot of Darth Moridin's when he had infiltrated the senate. Fought for the freedom of the people across the galaxy. She lead Jedi Shadows after all sorts of artifacts for the Council, and put them in a vault so that they would not be a threat to the galaxy. Now many of those were in the galaxy. She could not think of that for long though, it was a useless track at this point in time. She was now without resources to do much about it at the time. As an exile she just did not have what she needed. Part of her debated going to the hanger and taking a StealthX to find the artifacts herself, but that felt too much like running. No, her pace was quick out of the temple but that was out of respect for the verdict given to her, even if it was completely unjust.
Then another word clung to her mind. Criminal. The Knight Representative had called her that, yet it held no validity to her. A criminal for what? She replayed the scenario in her head over and over again. Those within the auction house were supposed to stand down. She told them to resist would result in the use of force. A threat she did not like making but was what this kind of situation called for. After all, a police operation sometimes got ugly. A group of heavily armed participants in the auction was leaving, in defiance to the command. Repeatedly she told them to stand down and they had not. Was she supposed to just let them leave? They could have purchased artifacts that were a great threat against the galaxy? A question that was truly unanswered. Worse yet the Republic bent to these people who turned out to be members of the well reported Black Sun crime syndicate. No matter how she looked at it... she could not see where the error was at.
As she stepped out of the temple a reality set in. If the Jedi were labeling her a criminal, even if it was unjust, then it was likely that some actions would be taken against her. As she looked over the horizon at the city, all she could do was nod. It was all a sham, but if a warrant went out for her she would turn herself in. Until then she had to do something. Nothing was confirmed her. The Jedi Master, a title she would continue to own, realized that she was holding onto the lightsabers of the young Jedi Knight that had decided to leave the order.
Quickly she looked around the area. It was likely that the girl should be around here. She had not left long before her, and like Selena it did not seem like Diana would want to spend much time around the temple. Honestly, Selena expected to hear about a warrant within the hour. That would give her a decent amount of time to talk to the Knight, return her sabers, and try and figure out a plan.
