The Jedi Council agreed to continue the mission to Celestial Being for 2 years.
Until Demetrios appeared, the Jedi Order made 4 more missions, all lasting 1 week.
The Jedi Order is very happy with the missions made to Celestial Being, on each trip they find between 30 to 50 force-sensitive children, with a total of approximately 200 force-sensitive children, all of them will be new Jedi Initiates.

Back to the present.
Demetrios entered the meeting room that had the Jedi Order waiting.
Upon entering he looked and found 5 Jedi, 3 sitting on the couch and 2 standing behind.
The 2 Jedi standing behind were Coleman Trevor and Sifo-Dyas, they had to be present since they were the first to make contact with Celestial Being and make the mission to them, with the 2 conditions.
The 3 Jedi sitting are Yaddle, Yoda and Mace Windu, in that same order they were sitting.
-Hello, nice to meet you, I am Demetrios, the head and Grand General of Celestial Being - said Demetrios introducing himself
-Nice to meet you - said Mace Windu.
Demetrios sat in the chair in front of them, with Viggo standing behind him.
-I have been informed that you wanted to meet with me, come in, what would you like to talk about? - Demetrios
-We want to talk about 2 points, one of them is the condition that is still missing if you approve it that we discussed with the vice chief of Celestial Being, who is the knight standing behind you - said Mace Windu
Demetrios looked at Viggo, Viggo immediately passed the information to Demetrios through the Omnitools
-I have already sent the information to you sir - said Viggo
Then Demetrios began to read the information of the Jedi Order's assignment and read the 2 conditions that the Jedi Order wanted to make.
The 1st condition was to have a joint course of action of 2 years to carry out this assignment and the 2nd condition was to have a Jedi on board the ship every time we searched for a sensitive child in the force.
(The 2nd condition is no problem, that's why Viggo accepted it immediately, the 1st condition estimated that only I had the authority to do so) - thought Demetrios
(Being in an agreement with the Jedi Order is neither bad nor good, it will put me in the sights of Palpatine and Plagueis, but it also helps me cooperate with them, so they don't see me as a threat and want to eliminate me, I still don't want to have a full-scale battle with them, but if it happens I won't say no, I already have a goal that I want to achieve) - thought Demetrios, subconsciously he formed one of his hands into a fist and squeezed it.
That action did not go unpunished for Masters like Yoda or Yaddle, the two looked at each other and nodded, then looked seriously at Demetrios waiting to see what action he would take.
-I agree with the 1st condition you put, although I would like to change it slightly - Demetrios
-What change do you want? - Yoda
-I want to change the agreement from 2 years to 5 years with you - said Demetrios smiling.
Yoda, Yaddle and Mace Windu were surprised, Coleman and Sifo-Dyas were excited.
-What do you say? - Demetrios
-Eh... Yes, of course, we are more than in agreement - said Mace Windu regaining his sanity.
-Very well, now what is the 2nd point you wanted to discuss? - said Demetrios with inquisitive thought, knowing that they wanted to talk about the conversation that Yoda had before in the Jedi Temple, before he left furtively.
-I have already explained it, but to know your opinion of the Force - said Yoda
-Mmm as I had already told you the Force is exercised by everyone and moves through each one without distinction, you should understand that, right? - Demetrios
-That's right - Mace Windu
-and there are 2 sides, the light side and the dark side as you know, for me that would be similar to the 2 sides of a coin, the head part of the coin is the light side, the tail part is the dark side - Demetrios
-Now reaching a limit in the 2 or a balance is very difficult, it's like flipping a coin and the result is the edge of the coin, which does not lean to either side - Demetrios
-That's not my question - Yoda
-Haa true!!, you want to know my opinion on feelings, sorry I was just rambling before - Demetrios
-Mm as you know, the Sith and dark acolytes recorded in history have used their emotions to become stronger, right? - Demetrios
-That's right - Yaddle
-Now what emotions have they used to become stronger? The answer is very simple, hatred, resentment, some even use greed or pride, and the strongest emotion they use is anger, even they become stronger if they think of anger as a focus to kill something or eliminate it and thus become stronger - Demetrios
-On the other hand, their Jedi Order is governed by their Jedi Code which says: "There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death; there is the Force", that is what they are governed by, right? - Demetrios
-That's right, there is no mistake in the Jedi Code from more than 10,000 years ago - said Mace Windu
-Well, that's where your Jedi Code is wrong, it was based on the Je'daii Code which says: "There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no fear; there is power. I am the heart of the Force. I am the fire that reveals the light. I am the mystery of darkness. In balance with chaos and harmony, Immortal in the Force" - Demetrios
-The Je'daii order is the precursor of your Jedi Order and the Sith, that's why in their Codes both Jedi and Sith say that they are darkness and light, and that they are the balance, but now that they are already fragmented their codes are similar but very different, and if you are curious there is also the Sith Code, well let's focus on the ones that matter to us and what you wanted to know; the Sith occupy something that in my homeland we call the seven deadly sins, which are the most polluting attitudes, thoughts and feelings in society, which would be the following: Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth, and they the Sith use it to obtain more power although they use a lot of pride, greed but above all Anger, on the other hand there are others that are their antonyms the 7 virtues that are: Humility, Generosity, Chastity, Patience, Temperance, Charity and Diligence, and in my point of view you Jedi use these virtues a lot, but you do not use all of them as they should - Demetrios
-So we use those so-called virtues for you, but how do we use them? - Yaddle said kindly
-From what I see, you try to make your apprentices detach themselves from all feelings that they carry, for example, detachment from their parents, that warm and beautiful feeling of loving your parents, but with that you take away from your Jedi virtues that are taught by their parents, which is Humility and Temperance, and that leads to most of your Jedi wanting to become more powerful and are tempted by the dark side, which makes them eventually desert - Demetrios
-Temperance, what are we lacking? Is that what you think? - Yoda
-Yes, look, for me emotions are good, for example, Love is good because it leads to the feeling of protecting the person or group you love, Friendship leads to feeling accompanied, it takes away the fear to do certain things that you cannot do alone - said Demetrios - I also think that the idea that you have of not having sentimental ties since you maintain that they can lead to Fear and Anger and that take you to the dark side is pure stupidity.
-Are you insulting the Jedi Order!!? - said Mace Windu stood up, taking out his lightsaber and activating it, taking a fighting stance.
In the room the others did not act, both Yoda and Yaddle stood still, Coleman and Sifo-Dyas stayed where they were standing.
On Demetrios' side, Viggo was going to take out his gun but in the middle of the action he stopped, but only because Demetrios had stopped him.
Demetrios looked at Viggo and then looked at Mace Windu.
-If you want to act, do it now, but our cooperative relationship ends right here, and you will have to take responsibility for the rebound that your action may cause - said Demetrios seriously, with hostile intention towards Mace Windu.
-You must forgive him, he did not say it that way - said Yoda in a more calm manner, to calm the situation.
-Those of us here are responsible people and we are talking about our identity, me being the chief and the Grand General of Celestial Being and you being Jedi Masters and being part of the Jedi High Council - said Demetrios seriously - if you want to threaten for what I think or say, better go somewhere else or better never have come here.
With the last sentence said by Demetrios, Mace Windu got angry, he had every intention of attacking.
-If you want to do it, do it, but you will not get out of here alive - said Demetrios becoming more serious.
Mace Windu standing in attack stance, is shaking very slightly, Coleman and Sifo-Dyas did not notice it, but Yoda and Yaddle did
-Mace Windu leave the stance, sheathe your lightsaber and sit down - Yaddle said eloquently.
…
-What are you doing Mace Windu? I already told you to sit down and leave that stance - Yaddle said more seriously
Yoda raised his hand to Yaddle to stop him.
-Don't move, can you - Yoda
When Yoda said that, he looked at Demetrios and saw that one of his hands was in the shape of a slightly closed claw.
-Can you let go? His anger must calm down - Yoda said looking at Demetrios
-Fuu!, mm if I were not there Self-control and Temperance, keep in mind that you would have died - Demetrios said looking at Mace Windu, while letting go of his hand.
Mace Windu was able to move, he put away his lightsaber and sat down, and without anyone noticing he had cold sweat running down his forehead.
Mace Windu constantly looked at Demetrios throughout the meeting but he did not speak anymore in the meeting.
-What was I talking about before I was interrupted? - said Demetrios while he was thinking about what he was saying to Yoda and the others
-That our thinking was wrong about not having sentimental ties - said Yaddle calmly, as if the altercation with Mace Windu had never happened.
-Haa well, that's what I was saying, as I was saying, your thought of not having attachment to things I find that you have done well, that allows one not to be greedy for riches, but the attachment to people there I disagree, since if you do not know what affection is, you will love more, and the fear of loss that you think leads to the dark side is wrongly dictated, it's okay to have loss, that is, it's okay to lose someone or see them die because that leads you to improve, here I'm not being a psychopath or a murderer so that you kill those with whom you make ties but seeing your parents die is something natural in life, but that does not sink you into misery but you are strengthened by their death since you think that they do not want to see you in a bad mood and they always want to see you happy - Demetrios - Do I explain myself now?
-If it is better explained, thank you very much - Yaddle - since we finished the matter of discussing, let's go with the specific terms of the orders.
