As expected, Yaddle then gave him a monumental soap for having slipped away during the night, but especially for having consumed alcohol at his age.

  Tola had taken a malicious pleasure in observing her misfortune while the temple's medical care manager was conducting analyses on Komari while scolding her.

  The latter was reflecting on recent events, in the space of two days she had met a Sith Lord, one of the most important rulers in the galaxy, a supreme chancellor as well as conglomerate managers.

  Coruscante was finally beautiful is indeed the heart of the galaxy, with a little luck we could meet many personalities without even paying attention to it.

  And if the encounter with Plaigus had taught her anything, it was that she was still far too weak to be able to compete with the Sith. She may have been the strongest of the temple's initiates, but she was nothing compared to a Sith lord.

  Her meeting with the latter had only reinforced her distrust of the Jedi order, although she loved Master Yoda and Windu deeply, the latter had not even felt the presence of their sworn enemy. Even though the latter was a few hundred meters away from them. They were completely unaware of the presence of the Sith on the planet, certain that they had exterminated them a long time ago.

  "The Council reluctantly accepted His Highness Organa's proposal. Part of your education will be at House Organa on Coruscante as long as it doesn't affect your development as a Jedi. Yaddle told him, which alarmed Tola.

  "Are you going to leave the temple?" she worried, not wanting to lose one of her few friends.

  "Don't worry, I'm only going to do part of my education in the Organa palace, the rest of my education will be in the temple as usual," Komari explained to reassure her.

  "Part of the Council agreed that Komari was not going to be able to bear to stay locked up in the temple. And that being educated by the royal family of Alderaan could lessen their resentment towards the Jedi order. Yaddle commented.

  Komari was not at all sure that this would appease the relations between the order and the queen of Alderaan, but if the council believed in it, then she was not going to contradict them. They had a very high opinion of their own opinion, the word of an insider was not going to change anything, worse it would add mistrust towards her.

  Tola was still unhappy with this arrangement, but there was nothing she could do about it, and in any case, she and Komari were going to continue training together in the use of strength and the sword.

  One of the things that the initiate with fluorescent green eyes dreaded happened, Windu had assigned it to Jocasta Nu, the great archivist of the Jedi Temple library, to punish her for running away.

  The old lady was among those who seemed not to like him, although she did not show it openly, Komari could sense the latter's repulsion towards him.

  The punishment was simple, he had to sort and organize the paper archives located in the underground vaults of the temple. When she saw the amount of work to be done, Komari was genuinely hesitant to do the wall again. There were thousands of years of history to compile in huge rooms of which they could not see the bottom.

  And his task was to sort and organize all of this until the punishment ended.

  To help him in his work, he had been assigned a protocol droid capable of reading a good part of the languages that would escape his understanding. And the latter also had to make sure that she fulfilled her punishment well.

  He had a name that never ended and she had renamed him the Prison Guard , which he didn't like.

  Sorting through thousands of documents covered in dust was not an easy thing, Tola was mocked because she usually came back covered in dust. After a few days of work, she noticed that her beautiful white hair had started to turn gray because of the amount of dust she was kicking up while moving the documents. She had quickly procured a gas mask from the temple's fire-fighting equipment, of course this kind of borrowing was known only to her.

  But this punishment had its advantages, she remained alone away from the majority of the temple members, and there was no one to supervise how she carried out her work.

  Certainly, many expected him to use only his hands to put away documents, but as a user of force, she wasn't going to limit herself.

  It was even a rather interesting exercise in his eyes, concentrating in the force to be able to read the titles of the different documents was quite complex but rewarding. Prison guard didn't like her way of doing things, but he agreed with her, the priority was the quality of the storage, not the method.

  There were thousands of different types of documents within the archives. Not just documents about the history of the temple or about the Jedi powers no, there were political treaties, economic treaties and military reports dating back to the Great Sith War or the Hyperspace Wars.

  One of Komari's great discoveries upon entering the Jedi Temple was his enjoyment of reading all kinds of documents.

  On Nar shadda reading was very limited, at least in the lower levels, the temple was full of information that she took great pleasure in reading.

  As I tidied up the archives, Komari quickly flipped through each of the documents that passed in front of her, letting her eidetic memory absorb the information so that she could savor it later.

  She also noticed that her interest was regularly focused on military documents, ironically the temple that was meant to be the guarantor of peace was full of military knowledge.

  Treatises on land and space military tactics were legion, which in the end was not so surprising given the warlike past of the Jedi temple.

  The latter had led the Republic through millennia of wars against the Sith and had led the Republic's armies on almost every front.

  Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  In another era, the knights of the old Republic had to learn the art of war in addition to politics in order to be ready for all the threats that the galaxy presented to them. Komari sighed, currently the Jedi were unable for the majority to fight real battles or have an impact on the crises that were shaking the galaxy.

  She preferred to keep this kind of document aside for her personal reading, after checking it she noticed that documents dealing with military or political themes were very rarely digitized within the Jedi archives as if they were ashamed of their military past.

  Komari wondered how many paper documents had not been scanned and archived properly by the order and how she could benefit from it. In his eyes, no knowledge was bad, it was the way in which one used one's knowledge that made the difference. It was up to individuals to judge the relevance of the knowledge they had in front of them and not to order them to censor it.

  As a prison guard , the protocol droid who assisted him put a certain zeal into properly archiving the slightest document, it was almost a knock or a programming bug.

  He couldn't help but archive the documents present. So it was a constant struggle between her and him, Komari wanting to keep some documents aside for his personal reading. Regularly she had to levitate the documents she kept aside to prevent the prison guard from taking them and starting to file and put them away.

  Finally, after negotiations, the latter agreed that she would preserve certain documents for his personal use as long as he could classify them by date and name.

  From what Komari understood, Prison Guard was an old protocol model of the c2-n2 type.

  Paying attention to what he was rambling, she noticed that he regularly talked about the beginning of the Great Galactic War in which he had participated. And above all, there was one event that kept coming back: the sack of the Coruscante by the Sith in 2,653 years before Ruushan's reforms.

  From her books and reading, she knew that the Great Galactic War between the Republic and the Sith Empire had rocked the galaxy. Some events such as the sack of Coruscante were known but little discussed within the Jedi temple.

  She could understand that it was a sore point in the history of the order that had literally had its face smashed at home.

  "Hey Prison Guard, were you at the Jedi Temple when the sack?" she asked him, curious to have the old droid's return to this dark period in the history of the Jedi Temple.

  Prison guard who was in the process of filing the same documents for the 3rd time interrupted his action, he turned to look at her. The force didn't allow him to read the droid's emotions, but there were some things that didn't lie.

  Some people think that droids have no consciousness, have no emotion. This may be true on some models of droids can develop, but generally over time droids develop their consciousness and emotions. And like any sentient being, they can be afflicted, affected, and emotional.

  Komari could watch one of the droid's eye cameras start flashing as one of the droid's arms began to twitch. In a humanoid this kind of reaction, this kind of OCD will be attributed to a panic attack.

  Or a post-traumatic crisis, Komari recognized the signs from seeing them in a mirror when he looked at himself.

  "The temple.... Was much more protected and secure than it is now. Finally starting to speak, the droid "We were in wartime, several units of the Republican army had secured the surroundings. A large amount of anti-aircraft equipment had taken up position on the roof of the temple. ?.

  "If there was such security, how did the Sith manage to attack the latter?" asked Komari, already the story the droid told him was not the same as the official one.

  Officially there had been no security within the temple and around the general temple. Which in a context of war was suspicious since the temple could be a HQ, an important military target which, following logic, should have been well and truly secured, as the droid revealed to him.

  But the official narrative was understandable, for propaganda purposes stating that the Jedi Temple was unarmed made the attack more insidious and Machiavellian.

  "The Sith were much stronger than the Jedi, even outnumbered they crushed the defense lines. Master Ven_Zallow rule the temple at that time, he did not last long against Darth Malgus. The droid continued. "Instead of evacuating the Padawan and the initiates, the Order preferred to send them to the front. It was a carnage for a whole generation, I am exterminated. After this event, the order was expelled for a time of coruscante and took refuge on typhoon. But droids like me stayed to try to keep this ruin in good shape. ?.

  Prison guard turned his mechanical head to look at the place, "I'm the last one from that era, no matter how hard the Jedi tried to erase my memory, I've always managed to keep it active. They don't like the lack of control over their history, their past and what doesn't bend to their rules. The droid's eyes fell on her.

  "Be careful, initiate, the Jedi of this time may be gentler than those of my time, but they are still dangerous with what they don't understand. If some see you as an enemy or a threat to their common good, then they will not hesitate to eliminate you. ?

  "Why are you telling me that?" she asks.

  The droid did not respond immediately, preferring to attach his articulated claw that served as his hand.

  "Because you're curious, and suspicious enough of the Jedi to hear my advice." He spread his articulated claws to point to the place in a very unrobotic gesture "Look at the number of documents the temple has, look at the documents you have put aside. You must have realized that the Jedi censor their own history and yet you decided to learn more on your own. Then I find you interesting. ?

  She raised an eyebrow, "Thank you."

  After this revelation, Komari was much more open towards Prison Guard. The latter was the real archivist of the Jedi temple. If Jedi like Jocasta Nu had control of the great library and the digital archive, he was the one who organized the paper archive.

  And to tell the truth, the digital archive was a tiny part of the knowledge stored at the temple. In fact, he had explained to her that it was the knowledge that the order and the Council had deemed relevant.

  Access to knowledge had therefore been regulated and censored for many generations. For her, it was certain that the Jedi had had more or less valid reasons over time, having herself found some documents that referred to sadistic pleasures and that had no place in a library intended for a wide audience.

  But at times, certain knowledge that was censored was, in his eyes, censored for purely dogmatic reasons.

  Some documents spoke of medical techniques using force with remarkable results, but the prison guard told him that some Jedi had considered these techniques to be on the dark side of the force, so access had been sealed.

  This kind of event was very regular, any technique of force, not to fit into the framework set by the order, was considered obscure.

  Komari recognized by reading some documents the Morichro technique known to the Jedi since 23,500 before the Ruusan Reforms. During the First Great Schism, Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina used the technique against Arden Lyn, killing her. This technique tranced and suspended the biological functions, including breathing and heart rate, of the targeted individuals. On a purely medical level, this made it possible to stabilize even the worst injuries while waiting for an operation.

  Komari knew that this was how Yaddle had saved his life on Nar shadda.

  Prison Warden glanced quickly at the document she was reading before pointing out more documents in his mechanical arm, "if you want more information about this technique, you have to go to line 49 on level 25" following the direction she was giving her, she could see shelves as far as the eye could see and was almost immediately discouraged.

  With the help of the old droid, she went through the Jedi archives much more easily. In fact, as a prison guard, he didn't need help managing the archives, he had been doing this work since The Great Galactic War. She or any other Jedi who set foot in her domain, she was an intruder in the eyes of the droid. Or a slave in the case of Komari.

  However, the latter was not against the fact that she kept certain documents aside as long as she informed him of the works taken. She saw that he treated with love all the documents that passed through his hands. It was obvious that for him, organizing the Jedi archives was his life's work.

  He also proved to be an important source of intelligence on the organization of the Jedi Order and the Republic in the old days. Also on his mastery of archives and their composition. Although he had not yet succeeded in completing the organization of the archives, he had in these printed circuits a good idea of the documents that might be of interest to Komari.
