“Yes, and if the Council doesn’t answer, if the Rangers refuse to listen, then I guess it’s up to us do something about this.”
She hoped that wouldn’t be the case, but a part of her had a feeling it would. The Council had been largely silent, speaking out only in times of peril and chaos, as if the whole galaxy was not already in constant turmoil. Sector Rangers were sharing increasing distrust for the Jedi, and who knew if they’d listen to a pair of kids from it? If it was only up to them, then Lyra would do what she had to do.
“We can,” said Lyra, to Nara’s last reply. “And we will.”
She rose from the terminal and pocketed the data file. Such a small thing, in possession of such dangerous secrets. Then again, did she mean the drive, or herself? What Lyra now knew might put a target on her back, especially if she and Nara, among others, went out to pursue these slavers.
It was a risk she was willing to take.
