Said Acolyte finishes the phrase for him in an annoyed tone that indicates she's heard it a lot.

It's all he can do to not roll his eyes when Jecki - his own padawan - tries to lecture him about nostalgia and sentimentality towards his former students being a form of attachment and therefore bad.

The Acolyte / int_72c07237	comment	Swiss-Cheese Security: In "Lost/Found" the Prison Ship Osha is put on has pretty bad security. A cyborg prisoner on board is able to disable the droids politing it and then all of the prisoners easily escape via the escape pods. In fairness, they all get recaptured soon enough (offscreen mostly), but that's a lot of holes. In "Revenge/Justice" the Jedi Temple on Olega has just one easily distracted and hacked droid keeping anyone off the street from waltzing inside and trying to kill Jedi. Granted, they usually wouldn't be in much danger from people given their powers, but that's very bad.

While Sol describes the incident as Mae having somehow burned the village down when asked about it by Jecki and Yord, it's strongly hinted something much more sinister happened, as all four of the Masters suffer extreme discomfort and guilt about it. Torbin especially, who is so remorseful that he ultimately commits suicide upon realizing Mae has come to kill him, using his last words to apologize to her and insists he thought he was doing the right thing.
