Pazaak on the brain

Well I wet to the planet where the sith had their training base in the first game, and the place was a mess. I went into the abandoned training grounds to find the missing Jedi only to find her dead, then I get chased out of there by the busted up sith lord who apparently I can't kill yet.

Just when I thought this was another waste of time I came across a cave with an odd set of trails for my character. While it didn't give me much in the way of items or experience, it did give a lot of back story of my character.

but the most interesting plot related things happened when i went back to my ship. While training with the blind Jedi she finally revealed (in a pre-rendered cut scene no less) that she was once the Sith master who trained the busted up sith and the force absorbing sith, until they betrayed her and kicked her butt.

Then while working on tapping into people's thoughts I discovered that the pilot just kept playing out pazaak games in his head. It turns out that since there is 4 force users on board he has been blocking out any one getting into his thoughts by reciting numbers and games over and over. so while I thought that him only wanting to play pazaak whenever I talked to him was a result of a flat character (or I hadn't spent enough time with him in my party), he's been actually walling himself off mentally. now I'm just wondering why.

Tomorow it's back to Onderon to meet wit the jedi there again.
