I'm totally alright with the simultaneous visions, seeing as the psychological impact of doubting what they see could prove to be interesting plot points to exploit down the line. I can just HEAR the disdain in Ari's voice towards herself. Poor thing! Ah well, they're our characters, which means they're kind of forced to put up with all sorts of awful things xD 

Ashara! Wow, wasn't expecting that, which makes it a welcome surprise. Wouldn't mind trying to incorporate more canon cameos down the line, seeing as we've only incorporated...what, three characters? I think? (Elara, Saresh, Kira) Ashara MIGHT be a good fill in for Champion if/when Yerbol and/or Aria are put up for the title of Master(and after this, I feel like it won't be TOO long. I mean, come on, they've taken down Bracknell, Illesia and the Xiis and now Manus?! Give em some credit where credit's due!) 

Alright, so before we go ANY further, I have to ask: are we at all willing to incorporate a larger plot angle involving Revan? Because you probably figured out that Manus' end goal (as he will reveal in the next two posts) is to find out where Revan went and basically mine him(or her if you wish) for information about what he sought to discover, seeing as Manus fully believes that to establish his vision of a "Faceless" Force, he would require power beyond anything he could find in the galaxy and that sort of thing was Revan's specialty(*cough STAR FORGE *cough*). If you'd like, we could have that be our next "Act" or we could shelve it for another time. Because Manus is gonna die. Voldon is going to make sure of that xD
