Sith? The Dark Side? It annoys me that they have a name for that, but the regular good variety just is.
Jedi. They never ever speak the word Light Side, because it's assumed they are naturally right, and therefore, they only need to distinguish something different from themselves.
From the moment Carth started off on my duties and having to go rescue Bastila, I've been increasingly forced to go along with these plans just to survive. Had I stayed on Taris, I would no longer be here to write these words, and yet it seems odd that all I want to do is walk away. They can hardly blame me for being so antagonistic to anyone whose path I cross.
I have no vested interest in stopping Malek, so we will see where this 'fate' leads me.
Currently I find myself in Manaan, Canderous and Juhani accompanying me.
Excepting Canderous, this journeying about has been quite irksome as far as my companions are concerned. They constantly let me know of their disappointment in me, but what could they expect from someone who was a smuggler before this chain of events even occurred? At least with Canderous, as long as I keep faith in other peoples' battle prowess, he is perfectly content to allow me to handle situations as I see fit.
Juhani and Bastila keep warning me off the Dark Side, both expressing outrage at my using these powers. If I am not to use them, I should not have been given them. If it makes my path easier, there is no reason not to force someone that my way of thinking is correct. People are too often blind and ignorant, and I do not have the patience to constantly try to correct their bull-headed notions of fairness and right.
If I am to save these people, the least they can offer me is coin or useful items.
We recently picked up HK 47 in Tatooine. It is quite capable, and I delight at the thought of having a former assassin droid at my command. Unfortunately, many of its memories have been damaged, and it is a slow process to make the necessary repairs to have it become fully useful to me.
At the very least, the Council has given me the tools to proceed as I see fit, and they hardly seem in a position to be able to stop me if I decide my interests no longer align with theirs in the slightest.
