The Library is Open - 01/23

Rory sleepily made her way into the library, coffee in hand, and took her seat behind the desk.

Sure, "happy" or "awake" wouldn't be very apt descriptions today. But really, did that matter?

Angela watches Yoda speak with a look of concern on her face.

"The midi-chlori-thingies were in my book. It says they're kind of like this thing that's in your blood and shows how connected to "the Force" you are -- which is kind of like, how close are you to God, I guess, though they don't really put it that way. Jedis have really high numbers of them."

"So, out of all the high rollers in all the galaxy, this Chosen One is throwing double sixes every time?" Parker asked, folding her arms. "Oh, fabulous."

"Skills he has, before training. Higher than others. Stronger. Skywalker, Chosen One may be, yes. Jedi Council unsure was. Older than most brought to Temple. Problem. Accepted as padawan, by Obi-Wan Kenobi, after Qui-gon his Master's death." Yoda's image sighed. "Guard him, we must. Train him, we will. Prophecy to be fulfilled, we do not know." He shook his head. "We do not know. Skywalker has strength to be Chosen One. Re-shape the galaxy. Destroy the Sith, perhaps. Balance the Force, and how: difficult is to say. Unclear the future is. Hope we can. Only hope."

The little image faded out, with Parker gaping at it.

"That's it?"

"I think so?" Angela says, peering at the holo-thingie. "There doesn't seem to be a way to get more."

She rubs her forehead. "I liked it so much better when Anakin just used his pwoers to mess with glitter and get drinks. Because .... wow, does this sound serious."

"Extremely serious," Parker said, equally disturbed. "So, he's a member of the White Shiny Knights of the Galaxy, he's maybe their new Messiah-- and they let him come here? Without a teacher? What were they thinking?"

She rubbed her face. "Does your book say anything about, I don't know, bad Jedi? Ones who are considered out of control? Maybe-- God, I hope-- we're worrying for nothing. If he can't go bad, maybe it's okay that he's ... that powerful."

"Not yet, but..."

Angela flips to the index, then to another page. Her face goes white as she reads. "It sounds like they can go bad. It's called listening to the dark side of the force -- and god, this is way too Galaxy Quest for me. And if he abuses his powers too much..." She begins to read aloud again.

"Under the influence of the Dark Side or the power of their own emotions, Jedi may be misled and sign on with the Sith Warriors, to join their battle for destruction. The evil done by the Sith is vast, and beyond the scope of this volume."

"So ... he can go bad."

"This... is not the answer I was hoping for." Parker pushed a hand through her hair. "Right. The Sith, that's who the Jedi want him to destroy. And he could become one. And he's the most powerful superpowered monk since forever."

She put her head down on the table. "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

"You think? I'm not sure we could even build a boat that big."

Angela collapses onto the desk.

"We are so doomed."
