Force powered righteous anger (or Darkside powered Jedi PMS).

As the vision ended, Quint let a couple tears fall on to Rippers face. The images were part of her memory and her story now. Then she looked to see if Rowan was there to give her advice or better to make the choice for her.

Quint said as she stood, "Remember that I wanted to help you? Not use you or torture you. I know that you are more than the monster..." she let that hang as the visions played through her mind then took a deep breath, "that he created you to be. You can choose to be different." She pressed a narc injector to his arm and pressed the button. She moved him out of the ship and placed on and in a blanket and took the lift back to the ship.

As she came back up the ramp, she looked at Mar still giving her the look. She moved to face him.
"There is not a Jedi alive that is not in over their head. I know that I am not dancing between the Light and Dark. You have been to the Dark side and came 'back.' I see the pull is still with you. You are not free of it yet as you enjoy the power that can take a life," She said with calm cold Jedi anger.

"I know I need to learn more about the dark side and how they think and I would rather learn it with help that discover how on my own. I am almost a Jedi Knight, so I need to show mercy where I can. Ending his life painlessly would have been compassionate for both Ghost and Ripper. This path," she said pointing back at Ripper, "will push him further down the path of the Dark Side."

She thumped Mar gently in the center of his chest with handle of Ripper's lightsaber and said, "You choose short term needs of one over the long term needs of many who would have been saved and will die at his hands."

"Ninth Sister said that she and others are coming to get him as they think he will be [i]useful[\i]. She recommends that we leave, [B]now![/B]" She said. The now was loud enough that everyone on the ship would have heard it.

She turned and walked away from Mar and all those there. If she would have had a door to slam she would have slammed it twice. With what she was feeling, she would have been happy to go toe-to-toe with Darth Vader. She would have died quickly.

Quint new better than even touching the Force when her emotions were this high.
So, she went to go check on Serenity and Ghost. She would keep Ripper's secrets.

She needed a good cry, some hot tea, and to blow something up. When she got to where the other padawans were she slid down the wall and cried.

It was killing Quint that Mar was the closest thing to someone who [B]might[\B] be able to help me with Ninth Sister. It was also killing her that if she reached out to the Jedi Counsel they would arrest her and probably kill her to save her from going to the Dark Side. She needed Mar and she hated that fact.

She was also wanted to know Ninth Sister's real name. If she was going to be sharing her headspace at times, she damn well should know her name.

Back at the loading ramp, Lucy toddled out after Quint had left and said in typical protocol droid fashion, "Oh my, I didn't raise her to act like that." She looked at Mar and Rowan almost apologizing.
