"I like the idea of teekay, mostly for the convenience reasons. I like the idea of forcefields to protect myself or others. It would be really convenient combat-wise if I didn't need to be worried that a thunderbolt is going to hit an ally or bystander."

"I can definitely do something like that; it might not be forcefields exactly. It prefers - more Forcelike things to less, when it's just aesthetics. Forcelike thing is invisible and intangible but does the job."

"I'm not picky about aesthetics. Or at least the aesthetic I want is being able to flood an entire room with ludicrous amounts of electricity while leaving the people I want to protect unharmed."

"That - informs how I'd do it - but I can do it, yeah. More something to protect a person than block a line."

"Cool."

Nod. "It's a good idea, I'll probably take a copy of that one."

"We should decide who gets to know about it. Daisy does; we haven't told anyone else. She'd like to tell Nine, I'm not sure how trustworthy he is though."

"You think Nine is likely to tell it to someone? Is there a way to give people statue-powers without revealing the source? I suppose that just the capability being known is the most important part of the secret, but still..."

"I don't know that he wouldn't tell someone, and it's hard to make something secret again once it gets out. Right now he doesn't have much opportunity, but we might want to change that. Doing it without giving away the mechanism - yeah, I can do some that way, but any Force-user hearing about it will know it's something new, the Force doesn't work that way - I can do things to people temporarily, but that's it, and even that's limited."

"And I presume droids can't get even that. Well, it sounds we can't escape suspicion if we get even the tiniest bity of scrutinity anyway? Might worth getting a better sense of Nine's trustworthiness."

"I don't have a strong sense of who else we could tell. Except, Green would want to tell Blue and vice-versa, but I'm not sure if they would tell other people. And obviously the candidates are pending the annoucement."

"Were you selecting candidates to get powers from you as well instead of just dreamshapers?"

"I wasn't planning on telling even you, I hadn't been thinking about other candidates. I suppose if we're trusting them with dreamshaping anyway it's not more of a risk."

"Ah, then I was overcorrecting. And true, we could at least protect all of our dreamshapers against mind tricks."

"Could it give people the ability to sleep at will?"

"Sure, both of those."

"Great... I probably should come up with a list of all things might be useful to have. If you don't mind."

"Of course not. They do take a while to make - about a week, less for something simple, and almost as long to recharge, so definitely think about priorities, though."

"Oh, alright. And in general the statues only care about personality and not species or anything else?"

"It seems like self-image is some of it, species might matter that way. That's why I don't think I'll be able to take healing; Sith can't, and being a Sith is important to me. I could be wrong on that one, though."

"Is it only one power per statue and only... positive powers? I wonder if we could use for creative traps."

Headshake. "Can't do anything to someone that'd hurt them - even if they want it, if it's bad for them it just won't go. Plus it's not that fast, getting a power."

"Well, it was worth asking."

"Yeah, it was a good idea. - I might be able to give someone a power that makes traps, that seems likely."

"Oooh, fun." Trevor says rubbing his hands.

"Yeah. That one might be finicky about who gets it - Green and Blue seem like good candidates, though."
