Reason only exists,
for those who cling to it.
So, shall we proceed,
to the edge of reason?
The moment Leon's ship made the jump to lightspeed, bound for the Unknown Regions once again, Kalen felt a wave of anxiety rush over him. Leon was next to him in the captain's seat; behind them were Natalia, and Eve, and Giles, the latter of which was distinctly angry. The Jedi did not need the Force to see that.
Leon was tense. Kalen could see that. It made him want to reach out and comfort the pirate in some meaningful way, but he resisted. In private, Kalen could be what Leon needed him to be; in public, they had yet to define their boundaries, and now was not the time to address that. There were more important matters before them, which is why he wished Giles would stop fuming long enough to hear them.
"When we get down there," Kalen began, "we'll use my powers of psychometry like a bloodhound uses scent and trace them to their source. The Inferius, even in their prime, weren't a technologically advanced species. They took over the minds of those species that were and used them to spread their plague. We won't find anything technological that will tell us of their homeworld, but their memories might serve us. And the memories of their joiners." He paused and let the information sink in. "Someone will need to remain with the ship. Keep the engines hot in case we need to make a quick get-away."
He looked to Leon and gave him a small smile, meant for encouragement. Then he looked to the rest of the pirate's crew. "Any objections?"
