[Nomi folds her arms and looks at Anakin blankly. What on earth?]

Give up my attachment? Vima is my daughter. Don't be absurd.

[ignite_the_stars]

"But then... how do you keep yourself from falling to the Dark Side?"

[seaoflight]

I fail to see how loving my child has anything to do with that. I simply do not give in to the darker side. I do not let myself grow angry or act on that emotion.

[ignite_the_stars]

[Anakin looked down at the holocron in his hand. That must be nice, just being able to decide she wouldn't feel a certain emotion. He tried and tried and tried to turn off what he felt, and he could just never do it, all he could do was figure out how to manage them once they arrived. Another bit of evidence that suggested there was just something wrong with him - what other way was he going to turn out but Palpatine's dong with an inability like this to even turn off his emotions.

But what she said still clashed with what he'd been taught.]

"Attachments lead to the Dark Side." [He said it like he was repeating a tired lesson.]

[seaoflight]

[She shook her head.]

Incorrect. Attachments do not. Obsession and fear of losing those attachments does.

[ignite_the_stars]

[Right, obsession and fear. It was tempting to delve into this novel (more traditional, apparently) approach to the Code, but maybe he wasn't ready for that.]

"What do you know about making Gatekeepers?"

[seaoflight]

First and foremost, one must have an understanding of energy transference, the act of moving and dispersing it through the Force...

[Nomi's spirit gives a very technical definition of how a Holocron Gatekeeper is constructed. However...]

That is the basics of it, at any rate. I've never created one myself, nor do I know how to give one a personality.

[ignite_the_stars]

"So you... don't actually know how to make one?"

[seaoflight]

I don't know how to upload a personality. I know how to craft the program.

[ignite_the_stars]

[Which meant the same thing to Anakin, she didn't know how to make the Gatekeeper he was asking about.

Which he also knew already because Luke had told him such. However, hearing what she did know had been helpful, or it would be, after he had some time to think about it.

Right now, he was feeling oddly drained. Not anything caused by the holocron, just him.]

"Alright..." [He moved the holocron over in his hands, but then stopped, feeling it might be rude to just turn it off without warning.] "I'm going to turn you off now."

[seaoflight]

Alright. May the Force be with you, Anakin.
