Kresst wasted no time taking his place in the mediation chamber. The instructions in the carvings had been straightforward, so it was hardly a few seconds after he had sat down before he started reciting the code. Although, not only did he speak the words, but he allowed his emotions to flow with them, at least to an extent. The very stones of the Sith temple were imbued with the dark side, and it was possible that the words themselves would not be enough without the weight of power and emotion that normally accompanied them among the Sith. It was something that the Jedi Order would certainly disapprove of, but fortunately, neither the captain nor Mach would have any way of feeling it. He even spoke it in the ancient Sith tongue he had been reading from the carvings, just to make sure the temple would recognize his words.

Tyûkjontû châtsatul nu midwan.
Midwanjontû châtsatul nu asha.
Ashajontû kotswinot itsu nuyak.

Kresst's words would mean little to his observers, but for the temple, they were the key to unlock the secrets it held. However, as Kresst's meditation deepened, he felt something more. Or rather, he sensed more strongly something he had been feeling all along. Darkness, death pain, betrayal...all more intense than anything he could ever have imagined. He had felt the darkness since shortly after they set foot on the planet, but he had assumed that its source was the dark side presence on the planet itself. However, now that he had opened his mind in meditation and was concentrating his thoughts, he could feel beyond the temple, beyond the planet. Normally, to sense something across the galaxy would be a feat of masters, but for the overwhelming magnitude of the pain and death bearing down upon them, even a youngling could feel this darkness. It racked his very being to focus on it, but he pushed through the pain to feel its source, only to find that the pain was spread across the galaxy. The light of thousands upon thousands of souls being snuffed out, one after another, though there was one focus point that was stronger than the rest: his home.

After a few moments, Kresst collapsed to the ground, panting. "Something is wrong. The darkness, it's...not from the planet. It's from...everywhere. All the death, betrayal, I could feel it piercing my heart. I...could sense it, the Jedi are dying. Everywhere, Jedi are dying. Even in our own temple."
