"I see," Obi-Wan says, leaning back and still messing with his beard as he pondered this information. Frowning as he again realized what a grave error was made.

"Was she successful?" A holocron of such a nature would be very valuable. One like it had been stolen by Cad Bane during the war and had almost led to the destruction of three children listed within it. He could only imagine what would happen to those children if the Empire got ahold of it.

He shakes his head.

"She couldn't do it. She'd cut herself off from the Force, so she needed another Jedi. That's why she monitored the Inquisitors' comms and came to Bracca when they found me. It wasn't easy. Master Cordova had stored all the information we needed in BD-1, but BD-1 had let him encrypt it and then wipe his memories. To unlock everything, we had to follow his footsteps and visit other Zeffo sites. Tombs. To get the information, BD-1 had to approve you and guide you."

When trying to put it all together in a way that made sense and didn't take too long to explain, it seemed very convoluted.

“Ah, of course.”

Right. If she had cut herself off from the Force then she wouldn’t be able to access it. Naturally a Jedi would do everything they could to protect such an important item. To keep it from falling into the wrong hands.

“That must have been quite the endeavor, though I would expect no less.”

He then motions for Cal to continue.

Quite the endeavour is an understatement.

"The vault needed a special kind of key to open. Master Cordova of course used one. The only one left that we knew of was in the palace and tomb of a Zeffo sage called Kujet, on Dathomir. He was a tyrant who sacrificed any who opposed him in his palace. It was steeped in evil. Even the Nightsisters avoided it. When I tried to enter it, it forced me to face my master. I couldn't get through until after Ilum. I wasn't ... steady enough."

Not strong enough. Obi-Wan would have probably understood what he meant if he said it, that it wasn't about physical strength, but 'steady' seems more fitting.
