Not quite. The Force is there and it can guide us, but ultimately we make our own decisions. It is not a crutch for us to abuse.

Gotcha

Is it a religious thing at all?

That depends. I would say it's more cultural than religious. We do not worship the Force nor do we think it is responsible for us. But we do believe in it and the effect it has on our universe. On us.

It is a Life force. An energy that connects us all.

Huh. Sounds like it probably varies from person to person right. The way that you choose to think about it and let it impact you I mean

We don't have anything like that back home. Just old religions that I don't believe in, and weird, fucked up death cults

Well, the Jedi are more structured in their approach.

Death cults?

Yeah

There was some group called the Seraphites back home who worshipped a dead woman they called the prophet. they wouldn't let any of their members use modern technology because it was 'sinful' but guns were fine because yknow. Reasons

Those kinds of cults. I'm very familiar. I knew one called Death Watch. Hated the Jedi, wanted the old ways to return.

Death Watch, huh. At least all of these groups have cool names. sounds like it's about the only thing they've got going for them

Honestly, I'm surprised they never want to rethink their names. But self-reflection might be too much for them.

Think that you're right. Hell will freeze over before any death cult becomes self aware

It's a shame they can't put all that energy into being productive.

Why would they do that when they could be ruining the lives of children?

True, ruining children does take precedent.

It always does, doesn't it. It's dog shit! If you were getting your teachings from some woman who died to save you, or whatever, why would you assume those teachings require you to fuck kids over????

Did you have a personal encounter with these people?

What makes you say that

Call it a hunch.

Getting hung by them was pretty personal.

That would do it.

We were at war with them for years. The faction I used to be with I mean

I didn't know you were in war with other people. I thought you were fighting infected creatures.

We were doing both.

It was over land.

[ ah. he's familiar with land disputes. ]

Yes. Those can get very ugly.

I take it you pushed them back.

It was even for a long time, actually. Before I came here, my faction went out to their island to try and ambush them. Wasn't working out so good when I got out of there so

Not sure who's left now.

[ ah. ]

War makes us all desperate.
