"You realize this sounds - far too good to be true."

"I admit that it sounds highly implausible, yes."

Nod. "I thought you might say that. If we can prove that it is true, will you want to stay?"

"I'm planning to go find my daughter."

Dusk sighs. "All right."

"I can give you the ability to detect lies; my dimension lets me give people permanent Forcelike powers." She waves her hand, and a portal opens up by the side wall. "You can confirm everything we've said, and I think I can trust you not to undermine us." She stands and heads through the portal.

Felix stands up to follow. Trevor decides to stay.

"How long haven't you seen her?"

"Felix."

"- it's fine. A few years now. I have a good idea of where she is, though."

Felix nods.

And here they are. The truth-detection statue is a shortish obelisk, perhaps six or seven feet tall, made of steel and engraved with a stylized eye. "Rest your hand on it."

She does, and after a second the statue begins to glow lightly silver. "Oh, that's - interesting."

Dusk grins for just a second, and then talks. "We really do intend to let people go if they want to, and to keep people safe and happy if they choose to stay, to the best of our abilities. The dreamshard and dimensions are how we described them, and secrecy is our primary concern right now."

"-and the other Sith?"

"Shouldn't have the dreamshard," she answers immediately. "It's not impossible that there's one or two out there that would be trustworthy with it, but I'm not expecting to find them and I'm certainly not looking. I definitely wouldn't turn it over to one."

"All right," she nods, "I'm satisfied."

"I want my daughter freed. I don't want her here until I know what it's going to be like, but I want her free."

"Of course. I'll send someone to take care of it right away."

"She will," Felix agrees, "and there are more details that might concern you, but what we talked is the gist of it you find this overwhelming."

"I know she will." She seems genuinely happy, the first time Felix has ever seen her so.

The group reaches the portal and steps back through. "What are the other details?"

"Hold on, we have an eavesdropper." Dusk goes to the door - the portal closes as she goes - and a moment after she opens it there's an alarmed 'eep!' from outside. She hovers Runil in - "is this the one Daisy mentioned had been bothering you?"

"More leaving us concerned than bothered. Runil, How much did you hear?"

"Nothing! I didn't hear nothing! Let me go!!"

"He didn't; he wasn't there a few minutes ago."

"Okay. No harm done this time. Uh, Runil, if Dusk put you down what are you going to do?"

"...go away?"

"Okay, is there anything you need or want?"
