Gao Lu

5
Set against the backdrop of the turbulent Republic Era, Master Gao, a wise and contemplative figure, occupies a seat on the revered Jedi High Council. The chamber is filled with an air of tension as Jedi Knights Revan and Malek stand before their peers, passionately urging the council to act swiftly in the face of the imminent threat posed by the rampaging forces of Mandalore.
However, the most senior Jedi Masters, draped in the traditional robes that signify their authority and experience, express their reluctance to engage in open conflict. Their voices are filled with caution, insisting that the Jedi should maintain their role as guardians of peace, even as Revan and Malek’s fervor clashes with their hesitance. Disheartened by the council’s inaction, the pair exchange glances, their determination dimmed but not extinguished. They leave the chamber with heavy hearts, knowing that their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
"I understand the urgency of our situation," Master Gao reflects, his brow furrowing thoughtfully. "But I question whether war is the right path forward."
As the cool breeze rustles the leaves of the Jedi Temple gardens, Master Gao summons Jedi Knight Revan, asking him to join for a private discussion in two hours. The lush greenery around the temple provides a serene contrast to the turmoil brewing beyond its walls, offering a moment of respite before the storm.
