Chapter 8: The Search For Allies

As the days passed, Jothan's interactions with the people of Tipton grew more focused. He sought out those who were not only resistant to the sympathizers' rule but were also skilled fighters and held valuable knowledge. He engaged in secret propaganda campaigns to gain attraction and build a network of individuals who could aid in his mission to challenge the sympathizers within the wave maze and, ultimately, free Pitaki Primary from their grasp.

He managed to avoid the guard droids that were almost on his feet every time he tried to speak openly in front of a crowd. Ultimately, after a bit of stress and constant big talk about freedom, he had the 14 players he needed, 7 males and 7 females. Once he got to know all of their names he decided that he would have an interview with each of them. Jothan wanted to know more details than the ones he was provided with on the surface in his brief conversations with the individuals.

This was going to be a challenge for Jothan due to him not really having experience gathering a team and much less taking command of an entire operation, all of this was taken care of by the republic in the missions he had done previously but now he had to improvise and do his best to prove he was a worthy leader and also potentially a Jedi Master.
