Causarius had heard of a Sithspawn once, she lost her memory through the process. The idea made her laugh. If only she had lost her memories, perhaps she would be better off. But no, she remembered. It had been told to her once that those born blind are better off than those who lose their sight, as they don't know what they're missing. Causarius understood the logic in that, shortly after she killed the man, as she was like the blind sentient who had lost his sight.
She knew what she was missing.

Ten Years Ago
Coruscant was in flames, Tython and Empress Teta were under attack. The Jedi were fleeing the mass exodus as a battle within the space above raged. A futile battle, to be sure, as the Sith's Forces far outnumbered that of the Alliance. However, victory was not in the forefront of the minds of the men who fought dogfights and capital ship broadsides. Delay the Sith, that was their plan. Allow the Jedi to escape, that was the goal.
Jedi were powerful, to be sure, and it was often said that good always prevailed over evil. If the Jedi could escape, they could rally and surely route the Sith. Or so was the thought. Emlyn Daudi was one Jedi who did not uphold the image of strength and unity, rather, she could easily be represented of the Jedi's benevolence to the lesser fortunate. Being that Em was the lesser.
Em wasn't a bad Jedi, rather, she followed the three Pillars of the Jedi religiously and did all that she could to assist. Her efforts had even been recognized to the point where she was allowed to become an assistance fosterer of younglings last years at her own young age of 18. But assistant seemed to be the highest rank she'd ever achieve, as no amount of hard work could fix the fact that, despite all she did in attempt to overcome it, Em was slow. Not in the sense that she was mentally younger than her true age, but in the sense that her mind had difficultly thinking through anything she did.
She stood inside the last hanger with working vessels, all others having no more spacefaring vessels or having been destroyed by bombardment. This one possessed a shuttle capable of helping her, and her companions, a few lost younglings and other younger Jedi who had gone off in search of larger groups to follow and assist, leave the planet without being taken out by the first Sith fighter to bypass the Alliance line of fire to attack them. However, the hanger's doors were blocked by an even larger shuttle that had caught a turbolaster blast from orbit and exploded violently.
It laid directly in the way, and would need to be moved. The problem, however, lied not in the Jedi's combined ability to move the vessel, but in where they would move it. The hanger doors, while blocked, could not be opened, and the hanger held not enough room to move the vessel far enough out of the way to open the doors and let their own shuttle out.
Therein laid their dilemma, and Em had not a clue how to solve it. Therefore, she posed the question aloud with a short stuttering.
"How d-do we move it?"
She knew what she was missing.
