Chapter 39: Ancient Wisdom
The Noetikon's of Science, Light, and Secrets.
Three objects which contain the collective knowledge of some of the greatest Jedi master's to ever live.
Here, right in front of me.
Sitting down on the floor I leaned my back against the platform the chest containing the three priceless Noetikon's was sitting on.
Processing the massive implications of what I had just uncovered.
I also begsn to wonder how the kriff Nomi got these Noetikon's to Exis Station in the first place?
Since she died before they were lost.
The only thing I can think of is that she put some sort of plan in place to make sure these Noetikon's ended up here.
What is was I have no idea, and I won't waste my time trying to figure it out.
For all that matters is that these three Noetikon's now belong to me.
And the secrets and knowledge they contain will go a long way in helping me build up my strength, the strength of my comrades, and those who chose to become part of my New Jedi Order.
Having come to terms with the discovery I made I stood up to my feet.
I then closed the chest and left the room to return to the Milano, HK-47 right behind me as I did so.
----------------------
In some comfortable clothing, black pants and a green shirt, I sat at my desk in my room aboard the Milano.
The chest containing the Noetikon's sitting atop my desk, open.
Since I am getting ready to open one of them.
Two days have passed since I found them.
I would've opened them sooner but I was busy securing Exis Station with HK-47 and the droids who call the station home.
I am thinking of using this place as a base.
But of course that will be after some major repair and upgrades.
Though that's in the future.
Right now I simply focused on bringing the station under my control.
Which I have done.
Now it's time to move onto the main event.
Looking between the three Noetikon's I couldn't decided which one to open first.
Then as I was deciding all of a sudden I felt the Force directing me to open the Noetikon of Light.
So trusting in the Force I grabbed it and then placed it atop my bed.
Once I did so I closed my eyes and focused on the Noetikon, directing the Force to open it.
Which was not easy.
It took me over an hour to open the Noetikon of Light.
In the end though I succeeded.
Once the Noetikon was opened I opened my eyes.
A second after I did so a hologram of Nomi was projected above the Noetikon of Light.
"Greetings, I am Nomi Sunrider, who are you?" The hologram of Nomi asked me.
"Van Sunrider, your descendant." I replied.
"I see, so you are Van. The one who I arranged to recieved the Noetikon's once they were hidden on Exis Station." She spoke.
"Yes, I am." I replied. "By the way, how did you do that?" I asked.
"I left a message for one of my descendants, your ancestors to track down the Noetikon's of Light, Science, and Secrets, and store them on Exis Station for a future member of our bloodline." Hologram Nomi explained to me.
"I see." I spoke. "Well first off thank you. You have no idea how helpful these will be in accomplishing my goals."
"I think I have some idea." Hologram Nomi mused. "Anyway enough on that subject. You opened this Noetikon to learn, so let me teach you." She said.
"Yes mam." I replied.
I then began learning from the Noetikon of Light.
An experience I will never forget.
----------------------------
-Two Weeks Later-
Two weeks.
In just two short weeks I have learned more from the Noetikon of Light than I did during my time at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Reinforcing the facts to me of just how far the order has diminished, and why I need to establish a new Jedi Order sooner rather than later.
The things Nomi, and the other master's within the Noetikon of Light Noab Hulis and Wole Vahn, have taught me are incredible.
And that's just from learning from them for two weeks.
I shudder to think what they could teach me if they had a year or two.
In addition the knowledge I have received is only from the Noetikon of Light. I have not even attempted to open the Noetikon's of Science and Secrets yet.
Now I truly understand why these artifacts are so highly prized.
I also understand I must do all I can to keep them out of the wrong hands.
Moving on.
Although I wanted to simply continue learning from the Noetikon of Light I knew I couldn't since I had other responsibilities to attend to.
So after making sure Exis Station was firmly secure, the droids on the station having agreed to watch over it for me, HK-47 and I took the Milano and departed from the ancient space station.
Making our way towards our next destination.
The Katana Fleet.
