Philosophy was one of the things Braze was starting to becoming known for teaching. Today would be a good day for teaching the Form that came before all others: Form Zero.

He had posted on the holonet forum, inviting young Padawans to attend a class focused on the questions that shaped every action before it was taken. When was it right to inflict pain in order to protect others? When, if ever, could killing be justified? Where should a Jedi draw the line, and how much suffering could be accepted in pursuit of a greater good? The lesson would also explore the matter of free will and the troubling question of mind tricks… if Jedi were meant to defend the freedom of others, then when, if ever, was it acceptable to influence another mind through the Force? Alongside these discussions, Braze intended to cover practical non-lethal tools as well, including Force Stasis, restraint, disarming methods, and other ways to end danger without ending a life.

Once everyone who meant to attend had settled into place, Braze inclined his head slightly toward the gathered students.

"Welcome to my philosophy class. For those of you who do not know me, I am Knight Braze Kai'el. Today we will be discussing Form Zero, the judgment that must come before action, and the questions a Jedi must answer before deciding how far they are willing to go."

He looked out across the group before asking, "Now then… if stopping someone would require you to cause them pain, but sparing them would leave others in danger, what does a Jedi owe first: mercy to the one before them, or protection to those beyond them? Take a moment before you answer. I am not asking what sounds noble to you; I am asking what you would choose when the moment is at hand and another life hangs in the balance."

Eloise raised her hand almost immediately.

"I would kill the guy putting people in danger."

"He said pain.... not kill... " He mused aloud as much as he was loathsome to have to attend a class being held by Braze it would seem that Ko Vuto was insistent this was a class he himself had to learn. He didn't want to take the presume the logical next jump to straight death.

"How comforting. A philosophy class, and you've already skipped ahead to execution....So I take it your solution is to kill first and spare yourself the trouble of thinking longer?"

Dirk sat there and deciphered what Braze was saying. Not having too hard of a time to make sense of the words and translate them for himself. He watched the violet haired lady raise her hand and give a solid answer. Thinking that was a good lead to follow He also raised his hand and gave a reply.

“Save the fabool” He answered in a gravily voice.. Using a familiar creature in place of something needing saving from an attacker.​

 

[Casaana]

Casaana twisted in her seat, stretching one arm across her body before turning the other way and doing the other. Form Zero was basically what she'd been doing for a little over a year now. Well, aside from that bit on the Death Star. But they'd been trying to blow up a planet, and you didn't weigh lives then, you stopped the blurgs. "Well, some Masters say pain can be educational, or something to learn to accept and set aside. But there's usually nothing stopping you from just stunning them. Both the Force and a blaster can do it."

She eyed Braze's feet. Were they looking a little cold? Probably not on Dantooine.

Kael sat in his chair truly contemplating his answer carefully, form zero among other philosophical teachings of the Jedi way were foreign to him. Alas, he was still without a master to teach him those things. After a few minutes and listening to the others in the class answer, he raised his hand.

"I believe a Jedi owes mercy to the one before them."

He didn't really know the right answer, but he gave it his best shot anyway.
