    "And what is that, exactly?"

    "How did you get past our perimeter?"

    The scientist laughed. "Won't hurt? That's what the Soul Render is designed to do. You better talk quick, pal, or else you'll be in more pain than any living mortal in the the thread has ever experienced."

    The scientist finished powering up the S.R. and gave the two interrogators a thumbs up. "Ready to go. Just plug him in, and we can get started."

    The general smiled at him, then nodded to the Ghanderflaffles holding the disgruntled worker. "Take him to interrogation. They'll get the answers out of him."

    "He's a little swamped at the moment, but he should have time for this."

    The general sighed exasperatedly. "You can submit your report to Lieutenant Tarol. I've been assigned to this facility by the emperor himself, and can't leave until I'm certain it's fully contained."

    I wasn't thinking of killing someone and then possessing their corpse, I was saying that while a kandra technically 'steals' their host's bones, you wouldn't normally say that a Kandra 'steals' their host. That same mechanism could be at play here. The insane can hear cognitive shadows, and if you convince one of them to accept you, possession could be possible.

    The general turned her glare upon AdoKho. "How many times do I have to tell you? You're not allowed anywhere near to this area. This whole place is a trap for Narrators, and we haven't even disarmed a tenth of the traps yet. We might not have even found a tenth of the traps yet."

    I don't see the hangup with possession. Stormlight

    I'm of the opinion that the Set's 'Faceless Immortals' are cognitive shadows themselves, so I'm guessing he'll become one of them.

    If they were just normal Kandra that serve Trell, why would Edwarn not think of them as such? Why the red eyes? Red indicates corrupted investiture: (Stormlight spoilers) So either the Trellium spikes cause kandra to have red eyes, which as we've seen with Bleeder, isn't the case, these Kandra's souls have been even more altered for some reason, or they're possessing people.

    I took that to mean possession, actually. Makes more sense given the language used. is it 'stealing' to kill a guy and take his bones? Probably, but possessing someone makes much more sense. Especially given the red eyes.

    The thing is, if jedi actually used force speed like Obi-wan and Qui-gon did in Padawan Menace, they wouldn't be at all threatened by just about anyone. Jango Fett killed a member of the jedi council by shooting him a couple times. How did that happen if even a padawan can slow people down to a crawl? How can bounty hunters without the force go toe-to-toe with jedi in hand-to-hand combat? For a jedi to use precision telekinesis requires a lot of effort. Yes, they can do the odd force push or pull, but they rarely do so while actively avoiding getting stabbed, or while having their emotions rioted. (Which a Mistborn can do constantly) More versatile? Maybe. It's also a lot more limited. They can't affect strong-willed individuals. Even working together, several jedi masters failed to manipulate Cad Bane. Soothing and rioting can affect anyone, takes basically no focus, leaving the Mistborn able to fight while putting the jedi at a serious disadvantage in terms of their ability to use the force. Force Stasis is an ability that I don't believe we've seen anyone other than Cal Kestis use often, and again, jedi's powers are wildly inconsistent. Why didn't Coleman Trebor just freeze Jango and kill him like you described? Why Didn't the jedi do that to General Grievous the first time he tried to kill one of them? Again, mind tricks don't work on the strong-willed, which I'm assuming a Mistborn is. Why bother with that? Engage the jedi in close combat, constantly push and pull on their lightsaber to keep it out of play, riot all their negative emotions. A jedi's ability to use the force is tied to their ability to control their emotions. Rioting them will cripple most jedi.

    The general smiled nervously and backed away from the house, offering the Quarkbeast her sword.

    Kandra being able to shapeshift is already explained. TLR turned all the feruchemists into mistwraiths, creatures which have the ability to shapeshift. As for the size, hemalurgic spikes can be pretty much any size, so long as they're large enough to hold their charge. They don't have to be large in order to be effective, and TLR likely didn't want his spies to have massive spikes sticking out of them that would easily give them away or be difficult to cover up. Kandra haven't tried to figure out how to make more blessings because most of them are very against killing. MeLaan is the only sane Kandra that we've seen who is okay with killing humans, and I assume Harmony would frown on them beginning to experiment with hemalurgy. Hemalurgic spikes don't capture the entire spiritweb, they rip chunks off of it. Kolloss take five spikes, not because they need five spiritwebs worth of power, but because it takes five human's strength to twist them into what they are. Kandra require two spikes in order to allow normal access to their cognitive and spiritual aspect. The Set already have Faceless Immortals, and they seem to operate on very different principles from the Kandra.

    There is currently no sequel to White Sand, but I believe one is (eventually) planned. I don't know all the differences between the graphic novel and the prose off the top of my head, but there are some fairly important ones, I believe. White Sand prose is non-canon, and the graphic novel is canon.

    The general narrowed her eyes. "Detain him." She brushed past the worker as five Ghanderflaffles grabbed him. "He might be involved with Abomination somehow."

    The general glared. "That's the general to you, civilian. And how did you get past the guards?"
  21. NameIess
    The general ducked as another spike shot out of Thaidakar's desk. Then glared at an overwhelmed looking scientist. "I told you to disable that. And who let someone knock on the door? I thought I assigned people to stop that from happening." She waved at the scientist, who powered up the portal to allow entrance and exit from Thaidakar's old house. "Yes? Who is it?"
  22. NameIess
    The general sighed in exasperation. "They said they were leaving! Stupid boulders. Tell Balio that If they don't leave immediately, he's authorized to use force."
  23. NameIess
    The general watched as two members of the High flaffle guard dragged the creature into a containment cell, then nodded and went to check on the perimeter reports.
  24. NameIess
    The general reformed her strategy and had a couple of soldiers capture the shadow creature for study.
  25. NameIess
    The general quickly pulled a Roos Tarpals and stabbed Grievous in the chest before he could do any more harm.
