2nd Oration / Voice

[Dooku's voice on the Network is difficult to miss: deep, resonant, rich, and inexplicably British despite him being from space.]

Good evening, my friends. As his probation officer, I feel it is my duty to inform you that Death the Kid has departed from this universe.

[Pause]

A pity, really. He only had a few days remaining on his sentence. I was looking forward to recommending his freedom from government supervision.

Now then, there is another matter I wish to discuss. I have been considering the role of emotion in the matters of power. ImPort abilities often seem tied to how we feel. Passions such as anger and fear can threaten our control, yet they can also spur our powers to greater heights in times of need.

In my Galaxy, there are two philosophies which have debated these issues for many thousands of years. One believes in the denial of passion. They insist upon tranquility and harmony. It is their belief that only a calm heart, without attachments, can attain true wisdom in serving others. They do not even allow themselves to fall in love...

[The Count's voice drops slightly, becoming a touch darker.]

The other perspective calls this a lie. It accepts passion as the truth of all living things, and draws power from it. It teaches that even the strongest of emotions can be embraced, and disciplined, and used to great effect.

I would be interested to know what my fellow imPorts think on this matter. Are our feelings to be repressed, or embraced? Which path do you believe will lead to greater fulfillment?

[Talk to the Sith Lord about feelings, Network. Also, if you're tagging him for the first time it's a good idea to check out his permissions post!]

I understand. So long as the choice remains yours and yours alone, I am confident you will make the right one.

I know we do not know each other well- not yet. But if you ever wish for guidance in these matters, I would be pleased to advise you. I have spent many long years contemplating these questions.

[He never raised an arm to him during their encounter...perhaps he had some interesting if odd insight.]

I don't intend on letting anyone make that for me.

perhaps I will seek you out in the future.

Very good, then. I will look forward to your contact, if you decide to pursue this path.

I would like that, Mewtwo. I believe you are an interesting individual within the imPort community. You have a different perspective to offer.

It is good that you recognize it. Let no one ever undermine your knowledge of how special you are.

Do you mean that you are the only one with powers of your type?
