As Azure started to leave the room, a silence hung in the air briefly. Kresst was easy to overlook among the others in the room, but the light tapping of his feet as he paced back and forth called some attention to him. “Illum. It could possibly be safe, unless maybe…I am not sure.” He said, mostly just muttering to himself. 

Eventually, Kresst’s attention finally settled on the others. His rough voice certainly stood out as he spoke up. “Yes, yes, I believe Master Azure is correct. It would be easy to do, but we should be sure not to neglect our practical concerns in the moment. Everything, this has changed everything.  It’s unprecedented…unthinkable, yet real. We do not know what this new Empire knows about us. My first thought would be to allow the non-Jedi crew to distance themselves from us, for their own safety. But, if they accessed the archives, found out about our ship and its mission…that would put you at risk. We should all apply our skills and experience to thinking of practical solutions to current problems; don’t become lost trying to look over the horizon.” 

Kresst’s head turned back towards the hallway he had entered through. “I think I should make a record of this day. A journal, something to…preserve for history. There should be records of us at our worst, as well as at our best. But…” Kresst began, his gaze moving up to Samuel. “Padawan Spedam, your master was on Coruscant, wasn’t he? I am sorry, but when you…feel like you are ready, I think I would also like to speak to you. I will be in my quarters if you, or anyone else, needs me.”

Kresst started to walk away, but only a few seconds later, just as he was reaching the hallway, the tapping of his feet ceased and he turned his head back towards the other. “The server room. Not my assigned quarters. I never use those.” He clarified before continuing on.
