Fiach cocked her head to one side. She had overlooked the distance they may have to travel and was pleased that Aska had thought of it. A speeder would be of no use in dense terrain and bikes might be hard to come by from a rental perspective.
“Good thinking,” she said, and wondered what passed as beasts of burden on this planet. They needed something capable of relative speed and also that could cover a lot of ground with relatively little rest. Her nose wrinkled as she thought of it. Knowing not only what mount – but what constituted a healthy specimen might take a leap of faith, and perhaps the Force might prove useful in this endeavour.
“Oh,” she added as Aska asked a question that Fiach had not considered. “Sorry, I never figured you’d not know – which makes little sense. A holocron is like a datacron. It holds information. In this case about the Dark side of the Force. But here is where the similarity ends. Sith holocrons do not like Jedi and will look to either repulse me – which could really mess with my mind – or entrap me and look to turn me. Which is even worse. Which is why they are so dangerous. Inside them is the imprint of a former Sith. A gatekeeper. Not exactly sentient, but an advanced AI that effectively does what it wants. And it will feed on negative thoughts and energy. So any disharmony will be amplified by it.”
They were back at the ship now. “Which is why I am so wary. Anyway, any guesses where we’ll get a good couple of rides?”
