"Today has us halfway through the code," Lana announced, smiling. On the board was written: Through strength I gain power.

"This one's a bit more concrete than we started with," she pointed out. "The strong gain power. It could be power in the Force, power in the government, power over yourself. So, let's discuss: is it true that the strong gain more power? What sort of strength should you start with, and what sort of power does it lead to? Is it something you should aim for?"

"My family did not become god-emperors of a universe by being pushovers," Ghanima said dryly. "Strength -- of will, physical, psychological, financial -- all contributed to the power we hold today."

"But it is cunning that will keep us there. Strength without intelligence is a fleeting power, and a painful fall."

"I remain of the opinion that most of your galaxy's leadership ought to sit through a few of my various classes," Ghanima teased. "Your Force users seem to go erudite to the point of apathy and entropy, or all-consuming ego passion, and never find the balance."

"You might like a few of my current group," Lana said, "but you're not wrong overall. Think we could get both Councils to sit in a room and listen to you? I'm willing to lock them in."
