Things had escalated outside while I was here dealing with the tests. Sith didn't know exactly what had happened, but the South Holar had sent a platoon here. Then North Holar had sent their own troops to respond. Within days, the mountain had become a battlefield, and the battle was still raging... more fiercely than ever before.
'I think I understand what happened.'
After all the turmoil at this place, the South Holar probably thought that if there really was an ancient creature living inside the mountain, it would not be so silent.
