Master, I write this seeking forgiveness but I felt action was needed over waiting, something I know you understand well, though I had thought this out for days. Lanaris hunt for Tara was not going to end peacefully and I feared the worst for her. So I made the decision to offer myself for her. Which was accepted. First though before I go into details, here are some reports of interest, partly leading into why she was seeking Tara as a message to the Jedi. All quotes are as stated by her.
Murder of Padawan Zhetta - I did kill her, but she was a multiple murderer and had turned to the dark side. She was officially bountied by Czerka to the amount of thirty thousand credits which I never claimed. I saved twelve lives that day, she and her assassins attacked the party at the Duskhaven compound.
I do not torture people as a rule, it has little to no value as a practice.
As for my experiments, I am a medical researcher of some great skill. Are there risks for my participants? Certainly. That is the nature of research. All the participants I spoke to were perfectly willing.
For my own personal research, I prefer to acquire Mandalorian, or looters or even the reptilians infesting the Coxxion. No one seems to mind violently murdering them for scraps of materials.
Tara accused me of murdering Zhetta in front of Master Hohenfel. Of course he ordered Artemis to take me into custody at that moment. I went of course. The Jedi have a reputation for neutrality. I had thought there might be a trial of some kind. I was so young. There was not to be a trial. No questions, no presentation of evidence, No. There were threats though, plenty of those. Threats of my death, the deaths of the people I love, threats of torture and torment. Fortunately I was lucky enough to escape.
Artemis threatened to take my connection to the force from me permanently. Apparently she did not know that my people have a procedure to do just that.
My first experience of the Republic military was their bombardment of the hospital in which I was working. Apparently there was a Mandalorian platoon gone to ground nearby, and so, rather then waste their men, they would simply wipe the block off the face of the planet. Two hundred and sixty-three patients, twenty five staff. Twenty seven children. Four of us survived.
I am not the head of Duskhaven, I am merely an employee.
The oath I made - I, Iradtoki of the Jedi order, do willingly surrender myself to Rathi in place of Tara, Padawan of the Jedi order, and accept any action she chooses to mete out to me. I swear this in sound mind and without duress.
She did a surgical procedure on the back of my neck, I am not sure what all she did but I cannot connect to the force at all. I would ask Master Hohenfel whom apparently already knows of doing this be informed that he might try and find a reverse to this. This is apparently a message to Artemis and the Force for refusing to give Lanari a fair trail after the accusation to let her speak her peace, and all the threats made against her during that time. She has sworn to leave Tara alone so long as Tara does not go after her.
