"Sounds like an awful system. Devouring each other for the sake of power? For attention from people?" He shook his head.
"You know I've tried to understand your ways. I really have. I've studied the code of the Sith, I've talked to former Sith that turned to the Jedi path, even had somewhat civil discussions with Sith prisoners and yet I just don't understand the need for power. What is it that drives someone to achieve ultimate power at the expense of others?" He averted her gaze for a moment as the nav computer in the cockpit chirped twice, indicating that there was an incoming message. The Knight rose, going to the computer and activating the comm unit. What greeted him was a miniature hologram of Master Syo Bakarn, his brow furrowed, eyes narrowed. 

Well, they found out. 

"Just what did you think you were going to get out of this, Yerbol?" 
"Master, I-"
"We're in the middle of galactic war, just now turning the tide...and you decide to throw your life away? Cause a potential incident that could have increased Sith morale or worse yet, convert another to their cause?" The words were coated in an indignant venom that was burning Yerbol to the core, yet the Knight felt in his heat he had been right to come here...for many reasons. A quick look back at his captive assured him that she wasn't trying to assassinate him from behind, his eyes turning to Master Bakarn.
"Master, my sincerest apologies for not communicating my mission to you, but I felt it was necessary."
"Necessary?" If words could kill, Yerbol would have been sliced in half.
"I found a few things on the planet that could help us...well, a thing and a person."
"Who did you bring?"
"Well, it would be difficult to explain at the moment..."
"Oh you will do plenty of explaining. Thankfully I and Master Shan were on Taris to inspect some of the work being completed. Meet us at the Republic outpost closest to the docking bay." 
"Of course." 

Yerbol returned to his seat. 
"Well, if you hadn't guessed from that conversation, I wasn't sent by the Council. This was a rather personal mission for me." He leaned his elbows on his knees. 
"Headed to Taris, where you'll more than likely be quizzed by the Masters, who will decide what to do with you next. You'll find that they're much more hospitable than the Sith." A pause. 
"Hey, so...were you born into the Sith order? Or were you...a convert? I guess?"
