"I see. I am glad you're not disconnected from them entirely."

Altair saw through the Force, was connected to the world around him through the Force. Had he been disconnected from it entirely, he couldn't even begin to imagine the loneliness he'd have felt. So he was glad that Vector was still connected to the Killiks, however faint.

As for him..., "I am."

Admittedly, some of his abilities had been weakened, though he was far from defenseless. And far more powerful than an average Sith, still. Altair's abilities had never quite been dependent on the strength of his combat abilities alone, and the parts that weren't connected to brute force were still as strong as they had been.

"I won't lie and say that they are the same as they were, but it would seem the Force flows through even the strangest of places."
