Darth Nemisis' Apprentice

ooh, I didn't notice you're on! I was thinking more along the lines of it happening in the New Republic-era Jedi, you know during the days of the Yavin IV academy, because in that era ... 1. the Jedi are nominally answerable to the New Republic government and vice versa, thanks to the Jedi Master and the Chief of State being siblings. 2. they've long forgotten how to brainwash people in that manner. (Kyp Durron's memory-sucking doesn't count, because it doesn't implant new memories in place.) So - it's not just the Jedi that give the ultimatum, rather a combination of the New Republic and the Jedi. The NR wants the Sith dead for war crimes (or for just being a darksider - whatever); the Jedi believe in redemption and are willing to take the risk of sheltering a darksider. Thus the Sith would have two alternatives, be put to death under NR law or accept Jedi protection. But I think even without the NR's involvement, the Jedi would give that ultimatum. From a completely pragmatic standpoint, they've forgotten how to do the mind-altering thing and letting a Sith loose in the galaxy would be really quite stupid - so alternatives are imprisonment (dangerous all around), death or 'redemption'. In a way it is sort of re-education therapy, albeit in a more voluntary fashion than "we'll wipe your mind and make you think you're someone else". edit - Also, and I think this is important as well, the Sith wouldn't be the Dark Lord of the Sith or something, but a senior apprentice/new Knight equivalent, young enough to change their mind about it all. Someone who's certainly taken steps down the dark path, but isn't that immersed, and is not powerful enough to pose that serious a threat if supervised. Sort of a borderline case.
