He pauses in picking up his fork for a moment to collect his thoughts. "Here in my reality, we have this sort of... energy field, created and sustained by life, called the Force. According to both the Jedi and the Sith, most people have a very slight, small connection to the Force which manifests itself as a person's instincts and intuition. But there are also people who have a much stronger connection to the Force, and that strong connection gives them all sorts of powers and abilities. Many of them are similar to April's, though April is actually a much more powerful psychic than any Force user. All Force-users have mild telepathy and empathy, telekinesis, and a sort of sixth sense, occasionally mild foresight..." He takes a bite of salad, and makes sure he finishes eating it before he continues. "From there, though, that's where differences start to arise, depending on which Order the Force user belongs to. The Sith are the Force-using order who created the Empire. Many of them are capricious, cruel, all are passionate, but some of them are actually rather pleasant to be around. Warmer, and kind to those they consider friends." His mind drifts briefly to his friend Kayla Ryn, one of those warmer and friendlier Sith. "The Jedi Order is the other Force-using order. They suppress their emotions, believing that surrendering to their passions will lead them to evil. The Jedi are allied with the Empire's enemy, the Galactic Republic, and consider themselves its protectors." He pauses momentarily, apparently debating something internally, then adds, "I have a cousin in the Jedi Order. Jedi Master Zalgast. Even though we're on opposite sides of the war, he usually has no problem working with me from time to time, when the situation calls for it."
