Mantic Dorn
Old school...
Location: the Republic Military fort on Yutan'
The air was brisk on Yutan. Mantic had started to get a feel of the planet and with the recent surge of Republic activity the new temple near by could not have found a better location. It was here that the Republic Force Enclave would support the armed forces in better understanding and hopefully resist force abilites directed at the minds of the soldiers.
It was a gruesome affair to see a soldier on the field turn on her comrades or have her feelings roused to such levels that she simply collapses or flees the battle. Methods the sith did not hesitate to use and thus there was a need for countermeasures.
Soldiers were being lined up platoon wise all were the courtyard and beyond. Jedi and force adepts were lining up behind Mantic as he took the high position to adress the soldiers.
They were so many... but never the less, the work had to be conducted. It was important to the Republic, important tho the soldiers and to their families.
"Are they ready," he asked the commander present.
If Mantic could have seen through the helmet he would have seen the roll of eyes and smirk that accompanied the classic:
"They are marines master jedi. They were born ready."
Mantic nodded.
"Soldiers of the Repubilc, defenders of the free world! I am humbled in your presence here on this day." he began
"You are all veterans of war and know what we are facing on the battle fields against the enemies of the Republic. The force is something that we have found to have a constant presence on these fields. And while the battles are not won by single jedi or so called hand waving it has a great impact on how you, the core of the body manages to stand in the way of great darkness."
"Know that the force has two sides, one that will be your companion and friend, and one that will present dangers to you. You as soldiers will, if you have not already, face the attacks that can not be held of by a shield, nor an armor. These attacks will center upon your very minds and will be a grave danger to both you and your comrades. Aimed to destroy your own free will, aimed to cause chaos in your ranks."
"This is what we will begin to prepare against here on this day. We will help you all to recognize and be better prepared to withstand these sinisters attempts on our proud troopers. Stand tall as you accept this training, you are soldiers of the Republic and for that we are all grateful." Mantic spomke from hjis heart, sensing that each word was truth to him and hopefuly to the listeners.
"These jedi and force instructors," Mantic motioned for the group that had lined up behind him. "... will go out to a company present and start tutoring. Listen to their words and notice how they act as they will give you example on how the force can be used upon another individual. Each present CO monitors the training and will together with the instructor decide when the training of today is fuillfilled."
"Good luck and may the force be with you, always."
Mantic stepped to the side allowing the jedi and force instructors to go out their and find the unit assigned to them for the lesson.
He knew that this had to be repeated in the future but it was a good start.
