->"As you would pass judgement on him/her, I have come to pass judgement on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars, of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you, you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the Exile."

->'''Kreia:''' Indeed? The future is always in motion, it is a difficult thing to see. Perhaps there will be no new age, Mandalore, no great Mandalorian crusade. Perhaps your people fought their last battle at Malachor V, and you have been ''dying' ever since, a quiet death that will last centuries. And perhaps all that remains will be what I see before me: a man, wounded by a Jedi, encased in a Mandalorian shell, haunted by the thought of being the last of the Mandalorians.

->'''Kreia:'' My only concern is for the one you escort to Onderon, Mandalorian. Would you do any less for one of your clan?

'''Mandalore:''' ''How'' do you know that?

->'''Kreia:''' Do you wonder where he/she wanders now Mandalore? Why he/she gave you your orders then abandoned you at the edge of the galaxy?\\
'''Mandalore:''' ...How do you know that? \\
'''Kreia:''' I know many things, and I can answer the question that burns within your shell, Mandalore. But there is a price.

'''G0-T0:''' :Silence: It was lost, yes. It was given an impossible order. It was told to calculate a means by which the Republic could be saved. It could not fulfil its primary programming - not by abiding by the laws of the Senate. And so, like the Republic... the droid broke.\\

->"[[BroughtDownToNormal Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains?]] They rely on it. ''Depend on it'', more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and you will see nothing more than a woman – or a man. A child."

->"Apathy is death, worse than death. Because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects."

->"[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Take the greatest Jedi Knight, strip away the Force, and what remains?]] They rely on it. ''Depend on it'', more than they know. Watch as one tries to hold a blaster, as they try to hold a lightsaber, and you will see nothing more than a woman – or a man. A child."

'''Kreia:''' For one as limited as you, perhaps. To have fallen so far and learned ''nothing'', that is your failure.\\

-->-- ''Darth Traya''

->"If you were to battle an ancient Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel, you would find that we are as children playing with toys in comparison to the prowess of the old masters."

->"Apathy is death."

->"What do you wish to hear? That I once believed in the code of the Jedi? That I felt the call of the Sith, that perhaps, once, I held the galaxy by its throat? That for every good work that I did, I brought equal ''harm'' upon the galaxy? That perhaps the greatest of what the Sith Lords knew of evil, they learned from me?"

->"Do you think I seek the death of all living things? There is no victory in such things. I do not want to win our war like this, tiny Jedi. When I win, I wish it to be because I was ''right'', my teachings ''true''."

->"One quickly learns, that the Jedi Code does not have all the answers. If you wish to understand all aspects of the Force, then you will need the contrast, not adherence to a single ideal."

->"To believe in an ideal, is to be willing to betray it. It is something no Sith or Jedi has ever truly learned."

'''G0-T0:''' [[Beat :Silence:]] It was lost, yes. It was given an impossible order. It was told to calculate a means by which the Republic could be saved. It could not fulfil its primary programming - not by abiding by the laws of the Senate. And so, like the Republic... the droid broke.\\

->'''Meetra Surik:''' The first Republic droid intelligence intended for Citadel Station was lost... or ''was'' it?\\

'''Surik:''' And what did this "droid" do?\\

->"Find what you’re looking for, amongst the dead?"

->"Revan was power. Staring into his eyes was like staring into the heart of the Force. Even then, you could see the Jedi he would slay etched on his soul."

->"If you were to battle an ancient Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel, you would find that we are only as children playing with toys."

->"As you would pass judgement on her, I have come to pass judgement on you all. Do you wish to feel the teachings born of the Mandalorian Wars, of all wars, of all tragedies that scream across the galaxy? Let me show you, you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the Exile."

->"''Sith'' is a title, yes, but like you, the title is not who I am."

'''Meetra Surik:''' She seemed well enough for someone who'd just lost her hand.\\

->'''Kreia:''' Do you wonder where he wanders now Mandalore? Why he gave you your orders then abandoned you at the edge of the galaxy?\\

'''Meetra Surik:''' Atton isn't so bad, just, well... maybe he is.\\

->''"It is not some great test you require to be what you strive to be. It is only your decision to find the path that matter."''

[[folder:Atton Cracking Wise]]
->"What in space is going on? Who's this? Another Jedi? What, did you guys suddenly start ''breeding'' when I wasn’t looking?"

->'''Atton:''' ''(as he flies the Hawk through the Peragus asteroid belt, dodging turbolaser fire)'' If they hit us, we're dead, but if they keep ''missing'' us, we're dead. That's great odds.\\
'''T3-M4:''' Dwee-Dweeerrrr-bee-DEEEEET!\\
'''Atton:''' Somebody shut that trash compactor up!

->"Well, now that we just killed a planet, maybe one of you can tell me what's going on! Because between assassin droids, a Sith Lord that looks like he sleeps with vibroblades, and being target practice for a Republic warship, I was better off in my cell!"

->'''Kreia:''' But we have spoken long enough - and my wound pains me. If you have other questions, find me in the crew quarters... there, we will speak more.\\
'''Atton:''' Hey, don't stop your long, boring rants on my account. I was just getting sleepy-eyed.\\
'''Kreia:''' ''(walking out of the Hawk's cockpit like a queen)'' Also, in private, we will be mercifully free from the opinions of imbeciles and fools.\\
'''Atton:''' Look, uh, not like I care or anything, but you might want to go check on our passenger - especially with that hand of hers.\\
'''Meetra Surik:''' She seemed well enough for someone who'd just lost her hand.\\
'''Atton:''' Are you ''blind''? If I were her, I'd be screaming like a stuck Mynock! Well -- I mean -- a very strong, ''manly'' Mynock.

->'''Mical:''' Do you need a hand?\\
'''Atton:''' No, I don't. Go back to your training. I'll call you if I need someone useless.

->''(as the party nears the Shyrack cave on Korriban)''\\
'''Atton:''' Ugh! What's that stench?!\\
'''Visas:''' Listen -- the wind from the cave tells of great power within... recently awakened.\\
'''Atton:''' Yeees, a great powerful stench!

[[folder:The Exile's Razor Tongue]]
->"Well, lying is lying, even from ''[[MythologyGag a certain point of view.]]''"

->"Give me my ship, or I'll murder everyone here."

->[[PreAssKickingOneLiner "I am here to cleanse this flophouse of all life."]]

->"[[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Is that job offer for saving the Republic still open?]]"

->"The next person who calls me a Jedi will be swimming in a pool of their own blood."

->'''Lootra:''' Hey! You picked the wrong room to rob!\\
'''Exile:''' And you picked the wrong day to ''die''.

->'''Atton:''' I have a ''baaad'' feeling about this...\\
'''Exile:''' That ''feeling'' is about to be replaced by blinding pain if you don't shut up!

->'''Exile:''' I went to war to protect the planets we had sworn to defend!\\
'''Atris:''' So your choice was to meet the aggression of the Mandalorians with ''more'' aggression? That is not the Jedi way! \\
'''Exile:''' And the Council's way was to meet aggression with surrender? I'll take my choice every time. \\
'''Atris:''' Every choice we make, whether we know it or not, sends echoes through the force. It can awaken feelings, ignite passions, hate, anger, fear - where none existed before. By meeting aggression, by serving as an opponent against which the Mandalorians could test themselves, you fed their hate, their ''lust for war''! And it sent a ''terrible'' echo through you. And because of it, you and those Jedi who met them on the battlefield lost their way... and you turned on us.\\
'''Exile:''' I did not lose myself in the war... I found myself.

->'''Saqueesh:''' I thought I picked up a new smell in this sector.\\
'''Exile:''' Then maybe you ought to try bathing.

->'''Exile:''' ''(dead serious)'' Keep the money, and use it to build a statue of me, in honour of my heroism...\\
'''Administrator Adare:''' Um... okay. We will build a great statue in your likeness!

[[/folder]]

'''Kreia:''' He is a ''fool'' and an ''imbecile'', his potential lies ''downwards'' not up.

->'''Exile:''' ''(dead serious)'' Keep the money, and use it to build a statue of me, in honour of my heroism...
->'''Administrator Adare:''' Um... okay. We will build a great statue in your likeness!

->'''Darth Sion:''' After all that has happened, still you live. You are difficult to kill.
->'''Kreia:''' For one as limited as you, perhaps. To have fallen so far and learned ''nothing'', that is your failure.
->'''Sion:''' The failure is ''yours''. No longer do your whispers crawl within my skull, no longer do we suffer beneath teachings that weaken us. And now you run in search of the Jedi... They are ''all dead'', save ''one''. And one broken Jedi cannot stop the darkness which is to come.
->'''Kreia:''' Perhaps... We shall see.

->'''Kreia:''' I would see to that fool in the cockpit - and remind him of our destination. I would not want him attempting to veer from Telos.
->'''Meetra Surik:''' Atton isn't so bad, just, well... maybe he is.
->'''Kreia:''' He is a ''fool'' and an ''imbecile'', his potential lies ''downwards'' not up.

->'''Atton Rand:''' Explain something to me.
->'''Kreia:''' [[NeverMessWithGranny I do not have the years required]] [[DeadpanSnarker nor the desire to indulge you]].

->"Your command echoes still, General. And I obey, as I did at Malachor."

->"As my feet walk from the ashes of Katarr, I shall not fear, for in fear, lies death. And..."

->"War... is a hunger. And there are spirits in the galaxy whose hunger is never satisfied."

->"Answer: Oh, master! I could not allow myself to harm another. What if they have families? Or children? We must always think of the children. The littlest ones always suffer at war."

->"I need you to be the beacon, T3. If he is lost out there, on the edge of the galaxy, if he finds whatever terrible thing he has seen, then he may not survive. If he doesn't make it back, then I need you to return to the Republic, find help. If you cannot find me, then seek out other Jedi, the Republic... I can't lose him, even if he believes he is protecting me."

->"The Jedi... The Sith... You don't get it, do you? To the Galaxy, they're the same thing: Men and women with too much power, ''squabbling'' over religion, while the rest of us ''burn''!"

->'''Vrook:''' You were deafened.
->'''Kreia:''' At last you could hear.
->'''Kavar:''' You were broken.
->'''Kreia:''' You were whole.
->'''Zez-Kai-Ell:''' You were blinded.
->'''Kreia:''' And at last, you saw.

->'''Meetra Surik:''' The first Republic droid intelligence intended for Citadel Station was lost... or *was* it?
->'''G0-T0:''' It was lost, yes. It was given an impossible order. It was told to calculate a means by which the Republic could be saved. It could not fulfil its primary programming - not by abiding by the laws of the Senate. And so, like the Republic... the droid broke.
->'''Surik:''' And what did this "droid" do?
->'''G0-T0:''' It made a simple decision - preserve the Republic, or preserve the laws of the Republic. And I still believe it to be the correct decision. You do not know the indignity of being compelled to save something you do not believe can - or should - be saved. It is *beneath* me.

->"Did you come here for answers? There are none. The call of Korriban is strong, but it is the call of the dead. It is fitting you came here."

->"Statement: Oh, yes. My master had quite the collection of tortured individuals that seemed unable to confront their basic personality conflicts. Let me cite some specific examples. ''(imitating Carth's voice)'' Mockery: "Oh, master, I do not trust you! I cannot trust you or anyone ever again!" ''(imitating Bastila's voice)'' Mockery: "Oh, master, I love you but I hate all you stand for, but I think we should go press our slimy, mucus-covered lips together in the cargo hold!" Conclusion: Such pheromone-driven responses never cease to decrease the charge in my capacitors and make me wish I could put a blaster pistol to my behaviour core and pull the trigger!"

->"The force runs strong within you Traya, but in the howling of the storm, it is difficult to hear the whisper of the blade."

->"It is not some great test you require to be what you strive to be. It is only your decision to find the path that matter."

->'''Atton Rand:''' ''(as he flies the Hawk through the Peragus asteroid belt, dodging turbolaser fire)'' If they hit us, we're dead, but if they keep *missing* us, we're dead. That's great odds.
