[ A hooded figure shows up on the feed. There's a staff at his back. A wide smile in greeting while giving a small tentative nod. He's not used to this kind of communication. ]

I go by Crystal Exarch. I am new to this world and have been wondering if there's any additional information gathered. Any who wish to share that kind of information would be listened to and greatly welcomed. I have a few other questions as well. Forgive me for being a bit... off on communicating in this matter. I'm used to more personal interactions.

The questions I have are hopefully simple and easy to answer. Is there a library or a research facility that one can go to? I would be greatly interested in keeping up with doing anything study wise. If there isn't any of those things here, what do you all do in your free time? Has the Agrii returned or reached out for help? Has there been any recent storms on Agra 10?

I can assure you that a Sith Lord is the last person anyone would want help from.

[The tone of his voice suggests that he's not entirely serious here. It really does depend on the Sith Lord in question.]

I would do anything to save any of my friends. Regardless of whether they are someone integral to the future of the world or not. Any fate's grand design can take a hike, no one I love will ever die so long as I draw breath.

Yet, you are a Sith, but your views speak entirely different. They sound good and righteous. Perhaps these other Sith people wouldn't want to seek help from. It sounds as if people would seek out yours.

[ His voice is still calm and not threatening in any matter. He doesn't sound as if he's caught Altair in any trap either. If anything, he's pointing out what he's hearing. ]

All of these words is what makes a hero. I'm sure if you were from my world, that's the role you would play. Someone that will give a helping hand to those in need of it. Not one that would use it against them.

People do the right things for the wrong motives and the wrong things for the right motives all the time. Words my apprentice once spoke to me.

[He sighs.]

If my desire to protect is selfishly motivated, does that place me in the role of a hero, or a villain?

[He feels like they've gone somewhat off topic here, but... Honestly he doesn't mind it. Despite his initial... Irritation, he supposes, it's turned out to be almost like one of his conversations with Ashara.]

Your apprentice is only speaking truthfully and is not wrong within their statement.

Well, if we're coming this far into questions. Everyone can be selfish for their own reasons. You are choosing to still protect people or innocents versus ruthlessly wanting to hurt or kill them. You would fall into the hero role but some might not see it in that matter.

If you start threatening lives for selfish reasons that would be more villainy. I have been told actions that my dear friends were doing were villainy with bringing back the darkness after living in primordial light for a century. They eventually took on being called Warriors of Darkness. The Crystarium and Norvrandt see them as heroes.

Do you find your own actions to be villainous?

She is brilliant. I often found her counsel useful when determining whether I was about to do something right or wrong.

[Listen, of course he'll take a moment to talk about Ashara like that. He loves her, after all. She's amazing.]

I do not know.

[Truthfully. He... Struggles a lot with light and dark, really.] I think some of my actions must be evil. I think some are good. Sith are encouraged to force their will upon the galaxy. Sith consider conquest their birthright, and all that is not of the dark side is to be burned away, leaving only hatred behind.

[Some of them take that very literally. Altair knows that very well.]

I am not a villain. I am not a hero. Though there are those who would see me as both.
