SHe looked at him and sliding the saber back into its sleeve sheath where it was able to be hidden. The jedi master slipped to stand before him and held out a hand with a look for a moment. Force energy forming as she held a finger out. "Keeping up is a wide request, even if you avoid all of the exotic and powerful monikers. There are always advancements coming... More daily. Keeping up means studying a lot more." She said it more as a matter of fact as her finger was covered in a sheath of silvery energy as she activated one of the training droids.. the saber coming with a snap hiss as it struck being stopped with the Ta-ree technique to wrap lightsaber energy around a limb or object.. She blocked another strike and another as her voice came out. "Keeping up does mean knowing how to make anything into a saber for defensive means."

He got what she was saying, and she was not wrong. As great as his lightsaber is and has been for him, it’s “old”. The thing is, this just made him angry. Was he angry at her? No, not really. Was he mad at the situation? No, not even. Was he even mad at his own stubbornness? No. So perhaps all three. Slapping his own forehead and scratching the skin, Caltin just shook his head.He knew she had a point, but it was hard to accept. His lightsaber had been a part of him for so long, a symbol of his strength and identity. Letting go of it felt like losing a piece of himself. You understand why this is difficult for me, don’t you?

It wasn't just about the weapon itself, but the memories and battles it represented. The bond he had formed with it was irreplaceable, and the thought of starting anew felt overwhelming. Yet, deep down, he knew change was inevitable. Will you help me build something in the image of my weapon? Yes, I know you said you can make something aesthetically identical, but it won’t be the same thing. Could you help me get past that? You’re really the only person in the galaxy that I trust with this.

She looked at him and gave a nod. "I can offer and do much but moving past things falls to you." She shrugged for a moment. "Building and rebuilding a saber is easy, changing the internal thoughts of someone almost constantly perturbed and angry with the galaxy is hard." She said it but shrugged and moved back a little mostly so her hands could come out and display more of the workshop. "So take your time and we'll work on it... most of it. We have access to every material, everything in the galaxy that you could think of and more then enough space to train or meditate. Even a cold room for cooling off the jedi who need a moment."

Okay, now she was wrong, he wasn’t angry with the galaxy or the like. He was just tired of losing pieces of himself, though he knew deep down that it wasn’t the case, but he was not going to argue with her. Fair enough. He was the one who asked, and she basically for a nerf burger and she basically told him it was too spicy. So that was that. Putting Conservator back, he took a breath and simply looked around. So, what else do you have to show that I could pick your brain with what I’m working on? It was a smile clearly trying to change the subject, but a genuine smile nonetheless.

"I have a lot of things, here and elsewhere. We are building a temple in the remains of possibly an ancient god. We have continued to develop our ships as well as advancing more understandings. If there is more you want to pick and learn about I am all for talking." She said it and the tinal shift had been abrupt again but found a place as the Aterno formed and shifted with her hand motioning for it. The benches forming into a seat that she is able to use and sit in. Her hands resting on the arm rest for the moment before she was offering a small smirk on her face.

Clearly looking at different weapon materials before they shifted out of sight with the ever changing room, he wondered what he could think of. Then it hit him. Okay. Finally looking her way, he was about to bring up something that he had been thinking about for a while now.

Connel has a few informants, as do I that have confirmed that not only has Kashyyyk began to heal, but the Mandalorians have slowly been pulling out of there. On the same note, An Imperial Remnant has been making noise and coming together near Lothal and Kesh. I do intend to rebuild the Shadow Temple, using methods, techniques and assistance from you. What I would ask is are there protocols or technology to improve the “hide in plain sight” technique I employed? Or, if it would be better, outright stealth? Like a cloak? Also, is there a protocol for a faster evacuation? More “en masse” should things go south ever again? No anger, no bitterness, just thinking like a Guardian would.

Like a Warden would.

"Hmmm a protocol would be useful." She said it tapping her chin. "AAs it stands if we need to evacuate en mass as it is we just open a gateway and evacuate or use the anchorpoints. They connect to a pocket force plane for the temples allowing travel between and sharing of information. We also have some of the fastest ships in the galaxy for moving around with sophisticated microjump technologies that allow ships to get in close." She said it while moving around. "There is also our biots which can become ships to escape, our fighters which are better able to hold a few people... we just developed a frigate sized vessel designed to carry over two million personnel for transportation thanks to spatial engineering." She moved. "FOr hiding temples in plain sight we have the standard environmental engineering plates and towers. It is largely all that I offered you before. We have just improved the casing for some and the power sources."

Pursing his lips together, he nodded. Alright, I will arrange payment before I leave. I don’t even care about the cost. I want to make sure that neither Temple experiences this again. I am just glad that, with your help, these will be incorporated into the structures, and not just added on.

Pulling his lightsaber out again, he wondered. What about a collapsible hilt, much like how a snap baton would telescope and connect to “Conservator” here? I’m still not ready to hang this weapon up for good… too many memories… and stubborn… He smirked, as if almost accepting what she had said. ... but I get it… tradition is one thing… but you can “only withstand the test of time so long…” So, if you don’t mind, I’d like to pull the proverbial trigger and build something.

He then laughed… I think the “other Vanagor”... my son would go for those finger blades of yours… but… if you are willing…

"Finger blades?" She said it and looked for a moment. "That wasn't technology Caltin, that was training and skill with the force. Any jedi could do it with enough training." She said it while standing there though with a nod of her head. "As for the hilt yeah collapsable is easy enough to do. Most standard hilts being able to adjust from a shoto to a standard size and even long handled hilt.." She said it while bringing one from a training droid and adjusting it with small manipulations of her fingers to show how it was done. "It is a good way to be able to adjust and make it so the blade will be able to help you in a fight."

It may come with training, but still creepy. Heh, fair enough.

Hands on his hips, he sighed. It’s been an… interesting transition to the point I am at. I am still getting used to it. He smirked, thinking about just how much appreciates who he is again. Ever since everything that happened on Kashyyyk… happened... it’s been humbling to return to my old ways, but refreshing. He was of course referring to his lack of being a “repository” of sorts of the Force.

He then laughed again… It’s weird, when I was younger, I pushed myself harder and harder as if trying to gain some powerful edge over the dark side. Then when I got that edge… I didn’t truly know what to do with it… now I’m glad I don’t have it anymore. The Force does have a sense of humor.... alright what lightsaber parts and materials could I take with me? For payment of course. He had no doubt she would let him build it here, but he was going to have to get back soon.

Hmm she tapped her chin and was looking at him with a nod of her head. "There is the Casing, the Chamber, the Lens, Emitter and Phase-Switch with a Crystal Assembly as the Vatta power cell is the size of a single grain of rice. It will allow for more internal space that can be used with the crystal assembly." She said it while it was coming from compartments. "Each able to be assembled and shaped to the design you want on the exterior. The interior will channel the power cell through the three chaamber design. Exponentially increasing the power output while being able to vaporize most metals, ores and things in the galaxy. Hijarna stone and beskar are as strong as durasteel under the blades produced."
