Divergence in Destiny (Star Wars RP)

"The sleeping cabin houses all the bunks," Why'nn replied, frowning a bit. "HK-50-01... you have never betrayed me... But if you feel you have, you need to tell me." Her words were still soft and there was no hint of frustration or anger, only concern. "Yeah, take the weapons off..." Now her mind wandered and she looked away from him, trying to figure out when he might've felt he betrayed her, but she could think of no time she was betrayed by her friend. This, in turn, led to wondering about Connor. Why, in all actuality, did she consider him untrustworthy? He'd never done anything against her mother and the only things he had done against her she deserved. The frown became a bit of a pout.


This had all started six years ago. Well, she had not been entirely friendly to Connor before that, but she wasn't antagonistic and had almost begun to make strides to form a friendship under the direction of her father before... She shook her head. She didn't want to think of that night. That night she'd watched Father fall, the night she'd taken her first life, the night she truly began to hate Connor. But he had done nothing.


"You disobeyed Mother!"





The feeling of lightning flowing through her hands so powerfully that night was vivid and she flexed her fingers to try and rid her body of the memory, despite the fact that lightning had begun to dance between her fingers and in the palm of her hand. She had been so small then. Connor had no defense against the power she shot out and forced through him. No. She clenched her fist to squelch it. Perhaps Mother sent her down the wrong path after all. If she had some time to herself on this mission, she would begin her father's lessons...
 
HK-50-01 wasn't sure where the Sleeping Cabins were - the ship was altogether foreign to him. He hadn't flown on a ship that wasn't a shuttle or a large cruiser in decades , and this ship type had only been created in the past 50 years. She asked him to reveal his betrayal - for whatever reason she denied it - and this almost caused him to start shaking until he noticed the request was not in anger - but in concern. She was concerned for him , concerned that he was so guilt ridden over his betrayal. and it IS a betrayal , whether she believes so or not.. But then again , she doesn't know... What if she's angry after I tell her? What if she unleashes the torture she uses against Connor against myself... OH NO NO NO I CANT BE TORTURED I I I.. SHOULD BE I BETRAYED HER BETRAYED HIM BETRAYAL DESERVES DEATH I SHOULD DIE DESTRUCT...


Why'nn asked HK-50-01 to remove the weapons , and he did. Some by trembling so badly they shook off and some by removing them - still carefully so he wouldn't blow Why'nn up with himself. All except for the one Tystel at his hip. When her expression became one of pouting and the Lightning came from her fingers , he grabbed the pistol out of it's holster and pressed it at the right 30% angle from behind his head that would kill him if he pulled the trigger. His eyes turned purple and he shook , but the trigger didn't depress yet.


So he spoke while he could , in a self-loathing tone. "Explanation : Why'nn... I betrayed you by giving up your father's secret. I should've just let myself be killed instead of giving up the secret at the last moment... I was given 12 hours to give him up before Mistress would just outright kill me , which she filled with the worst torture I've ever experienced. At 11 hours and 30 minutes in I finally , not much more than a head with a corroded frame and body attached , gave the secret up. I shouldn't have - I should have died. I deserve to. I will pull this trigger and I will die - I deserve to. I've deserved to for the last eight years , but I needed to raise you first. That's done. I'm not needed. You should torture me first , for how much my betrayal ruined your life. And then you should kill me. I swear to you , I will dispatch myself. I WILL! I DESERVE IT! I BETRAYED YOU! I SHOULD BE DEAD , I SHOULD BE A RUSTING HULK! BRING ME PAIN! TORTURE! I DESERVE IT! KILL ME! KILL ME! KILL ME!" At the conclusion of this statement he flipped around the gun to where he as holding the barrel , the handle pointed towards Why'nn , and pushed it in her direction. Still violently , horribly shaking , He hoped she would take it.

Why'nn shot forward and tore the gun from his hand, throwing it away and hugging him tightly once more, tears threatening to spill down her cheeks. She began to hum a lullaby her father sang her, striking his back gently. "Don't think that way," she whispered, interrupting her own humming as she slipped into Rakatani. "You did nothing wrong. He was the one who lied, he was the one who hid from us. My only regret is that you didn't give him up sooner. I wish you hadn't gotten hurt so badly. He was my father, it's true, but you were the one who raised me. You've always been there when I needed you. You taught me to walk and talk, you held me at night. You, more than anyone, deserve my respect and love. Don't you ever try to kill yourself again. You and Mother... you're all I have left..." She hugged him tighter. He really believed that by giving up that scum of a man he had betrayed her? No. No. Her father betrayed her the moment he lied to Mother. "HK-50-01, I love you. You have never, never, betrayed me." The tears spilled down her cheeks now rather rapidly.
 
HK-50-01 felt the gun tear from his hands and his only thoughts were NO! NO NO NO YOU SHOULD KILL ME KILL ME! I BETRAYED YOU KILL ME KILL ME! Apparently Why'nn had learned some sort of lullaby , and he wasn't sure where she picked it up- until he realized it was one Delrick had taught her. YES YES SHE IS GOING TO SHOOT MAIM TORTURE! DO IT DO IT FLIP THW SWITCH! I DESERVE IT I DESERVE DEATH PAIN TORTURE! Then she started patting his back , and whispered to him. He still didn't stop shaking or thinking thoughts of destruction. Did he not deserve it? Did he not betray her father? Did he not betray HER? He should be tortured , in so many ways he hadn't been before. She can easily do it and she doesn't. WHY! I GOT YOUR FATHER KILLED! I'M WORSE THAN USELESS! KILL ME! TORTURE ME! DO IT NOW DO IT NOW!


And then she told him why... And he finally stopped shaking and thinking destructive thoughts. HK-50 wasn't the traitor - Delrick was for hiding the truth. She... She... SHE DOES CARE! She doesn't want me in pain in torture.. I.. I did do those things. I... I've been more important to her than I realize. His eyes stayed purple , but not for fear - he was saddened. He hadn't betrayed her - he was the only one who HADN'T. And he was all she had left - this young woman , holding tightly to him and patting his frame.


When she started crying... He started producing mechanical sobs too. But he calmed down quickly - for her. So he began calming her down in ways he knew worked for her - started lightly rocking her , wrapping his arms around her and heating up his plating to a warmer temperature than it normally was. He began speaking in the same Rakatani she just finished speaking in. He added musical inflection to it as well - Why'nn enjoyed music. "Reply/Comfort : Why'nn.. You are right. I have raised you. I did oversee your first steps , oversaw your first words in two languages now. I'll always be there and I'll be here now. Everything is ok - I'll never leave you , not until the Galaxy itself perishes. I love you , I love you more than I love anyone or anything. Not all these weapons , not the Sith - mist-Your Mother will always be there for you too , I think - not life , just you. I live for you and love for you Why'nn. I' here , I'm always going to be here. Hush , hush the sadness now. Everything is okay , everything will be okay. I'm here , I'm here. No-one will ever come between us , Why'nn - light of the universe. I'm here and I love you. Shut away the fear , the sadness. I'm here , I'm here.."
 
At the sound of all the shouting, Connor bolted up and ran to where Why'nn and HK-50-01 were. However, as he got near them, heard their conversation, their comforting of one another. Conversation about Why'nn's father, and how HK-50-01 had given up her father. He stood there for a moment, just listening to the two of them. Despite all the Dark Side power he held, the anger, the lives he'd taken, despite how hardened he felt against the world, he felt a tear escape his eye. He found himself wishing for that kind of friendship with someone. No. He didn't deserve it. His only "friend", if you could call her that, was his master. He didn't deserve anyone else. He wiped away his tear, and made his way back to cockpit of the ship. This was where he'd spend the whole trip. He'd stay away from the other two, keep his exterior hard and use the power of the Force to harden his heart. He'd done fine this far without a friend, he'd make it the rest of his life without one. He didn't need anyone else. Once this mission was over, he'd request to only go on missions by himself. Why'nn was capable of running her own missions now. She could handle it. She was strong...
 
Why'nn stopped crying as it seemed like he calmed. "He was a traitor. He betrayed you and me and Mother." And then it dawned on her. She was in the wrong with Connor. Since her father died, she'd painted all men with the same brush. Liars and traitors. However, Connor had not, to her knowledge, lied to her, nor had he ever betrayed her or her mother. While he had a Jedi mindset from time to time, that had actually helped them in the past. "Oh no... HK-50-01..." She drew back and looked up at him. "I trust your judgement... Have I been... unduly cruel to my mother's apprentice since the Jedi's betrayal?" Her eyes held worry. He was someone who had not lied to her and she hoped, since he now knew she would not hurt him, he would venture to be more honest still. Of course it was the Sith way to torment those weaker and Connor had been weaker than her at the time of his initial torment but since then he had bested her a few times in combat and tended to be more level-headed in mission situations.
 
HK-50-01 was happy that Why'nn had stopped crying. Doing what he had just done had always worked to calm her. He also decided she was right - Delrick had betrayed Mistress by not telling her the truth , in turn betraying Why'nn by angering Mistress and causing Mistress to kill him in front of Why'nn , and... No. He couldn't be betrayed. I'm not worth enough to be betrayed. But he wouldn't deny that to her - just to himself. When Why'nn asked if she was abusing Connor , he almost jumped in the joy that he wouldn't have to bring it up himself. I can speak freely on this matter - Why'nn won't hurt me - she even trusts my Judgement! I should speed freely on all matters , then.


He spoke then , in a semi-happy tone. "Prefix Unavailable : yes... He did betray us all. Betrayed your mother - Mistress - by not telling her the truth , which betrayed you because you had to watch him die and.. I'm sure you felt betrayed as well. I'm not sure how I was betrayed.. I'm not sure if I'm worth being betrayed in truth. But... No , I am worth that much. I just don't know how that feels - I'm so numb to the hatred I receive every day that I can't recognize how betrayal even effects me. Enough of that! Like I said earlier , I have enough time for self loathing later. The truth , then? I know you won't hurt me so I shan't rescind such truth. I think you mistreat Connor because , like your mother , you get angry and need to take it it on someone , and he happens to be the only one around. Actually? I think he's to you what I am to Mistress - the slightly bumbling , weak person who can get harshly tortured week you're upset. Please stop hurting him. Aplogize to him and tell him you are no longer going to do that to him. While you're at that , can you help me pick all these weapons I dropped up and take them to our quarters?" With that he picked up the heavy repeater and several of the larger items , and then looked to her in a way he never had looked to Anyone - like he was being slightly pushy to get her to work.

Why'nn looked to him, surprised at his words, but smiling. Such brash honesty. She was proud of him. Of course she should help him! She picked up everything he hadn't and led the way to the bunks. After she set down the weaponry on one of the beds, she gave HK-50-01 another hug and left to join Connor in the cockpit. The smile was hidden as she sat beside him. "Connor... we need to talk..." How would he take this? Would he think her weak? The droid was wrong in how she saw the apprentice. But this conversation was already different. She hadn't called the boy by his name to his face in six years, usually using an insult or refusing to refer to him as anything at all.
 
Connor turned as Why'nn sat down beside him. His face was all but expressionless. "You should be getting some rest. We have a long morning ahead of us when we get to Hoth." He wasn't being dismissive, he just kind of felt like he should be alone. However, he didn't blatantly turn her away. "If it can wait, that is. If you don't think it can, then sure. We can talk..." It felt strange to hear her call him by his name. She hadn't done that in a very long time. It had always been "the boy" or "scum". He looked at her, his face still almost expressionless. If there was any emotion on his face at all, it was a faint sense of confusion.
 
She crossed her legs as she listened to him. No, she would rest after this conversation "I... have taken out my anger on you, something I seem to have picked up from my mother... But you have done nothing to deserve that. You are as strong as, if not stronger than, me, though I hate to admit it." HK-50-01 had wanted her to apologize, but that was difficult due to her nature. "I don't trust you because of that night. I associate you with that traitor because I sensed your presence there that night. You're my mother's apprentice and you've had a harder go at it than I." That still want an apology, but she couldn't seem to form the words, 'I'm sorry' or 'I apologize.' Instead, she watched him and waited to see his response.
 
Connor shrugged his shoulders, and turned his attention back to the display he was looking at. He flipped a couple of switches, and spoke. "It's no big deal. I've come to realize that's just how things are. I should just count myself lucky that you treat me as your mother treats HK-50-01." He hesitated for a moment, and looked back at her. "Honestly, I probably deserve it. It's not like I'm family or anything, you know?" He looked back to the display once more, pretending to study the readouts. He had already tried to make himself hardened. He didn't want to let his guard down. For all he knew, this could be some ruse to lure him into a false sense of security then strike out at him. She sounded genuine, but he'd fallen victim to it before. Once it nearly got him dropped into her mother's rancor pit on Dromund Kaas. No...he'd keep himself hardened, but would listen to what she had to say.
 
HK-50-01 was overjoyed by the fact that Why'nn seemed to be genuinely happy that he had been brashly honest - and so he resolved to do it more , except around Mistress. She enjoyed it so much she even did what he requested of her and picked up all that he didn't already carry in his arms. They both threw their loads down on one of the Bunks , and she embraced him in a fashion he rather enjoyed. I... I could really grow to love these 'missions'. This.. Is the most joyful time I've ever had! I shall indeed put aside any thoughts of Mistress and punishment until I return - and not bring it up anyway like I seemed to do earlier.


She walked off to go to join Connor and he shadowed her at a distance , having to make sure the Tystel he tried to get Why'nn to kill himself with was still there - and it was , luckily. He also stayed to put all the weapons away - smaller ones in containers and the largest ones against the wall. When he joined them she had already sat down , and was speaking. The Young Man seemed to be confused - he could see himself in similar circumstances if Mistress approached him with similar talks. With more shaking and pleading , of course. Oh my... I just now thought that this Connor here doesn't even have anyone who loves him at all. That's... That's a mood dampner indeed.


He stood within sight of Why'nn as she said what she needed to say - all of it was true. She had habits of her mother's , and she did take out her anger on a weaker being. HK-50 didn't think Connor was as strong as Why'nn , but he was also Biased. A flash of realization shot through him - Why'nn hated Connor because he was there when Delrick died , and associates him with that. Is that why Mistress tortures me as well? I was there in bad times? No... No. She tortures me because I'm there and I seem weak to her - I am weak to her. Why'nn isn't exactly her mother in those ways.. He noticed she couldn't actually apologize. As Connor basically said he deserved it and he should be lucky he was the HK-50 to her Mistress , he mimed to her. He pointed his hands at her and then to the Male , put his hand to his vocabulator grate and made a motion that would look like she wasn't doing enough - more speaking is what it really meant.

His words were disheartening. She was doing her best at this and he was just... Her fist clenched, but she took a deep breath and calmed herself. No, this was apologizing, not striking out. And, of course, HK-50-01 was behind him, signing... something. "No, you don't deserve it, no you shouldn't count yourself lucky. If you were lucky I wouldn't be such..." 'I'm being a bitch. I'm being just like my mother in the way I hate the most...' "No, you're not family. You're just a boy my mother picked up because she thought he was strong enough to be more than worthy to be her apprentice." Why'nn frowned. "You're not a punching bag, sc-... Connor." It was difficult to correct herself, but she was making a conscious effort. She sighed. "Look, Connor, I'm..." she struggled, the word was almost painful to say, "sorry for all the things I've put you through."
 
Connor looked over at her once again. He couldn't believe she'd just said that. It seemed almost impossible that she would say those words to him. He didn't know how to respond to her at all. "I don't know what to say...Honestly, I never thought I'd hear you say those things to me, and you've said a lot to me in the past." He wasn't sure still if she was trying to lure him into a false since of security. "And listen...Forgive me for saying this, but you've done things like this before. I mean, I'm still half expecting you to lash out at me unexpectedly...I mean...if you're being honest, then thank you. But if you're setting me up to take advantage me, please...Just get it over with..." He knew that if she was being genuine, this may piss her off, but his reasoning had merit. As such, he moved a hand off the console and onto the arm of the chair he was sitting in, which got it closer to his lightsaber. He really wasn't in the mood to have to deal with being shocked. Especially hurtling through hyperspace.
 
Why'nn pouted, but knew it was true, she'd said... something similar, even gotten him to feel secure before she lashed out. This time was different, though and she fought through a glare that she directed out at the panel. Once her anger quelled she returned her attention to him. "No, this isn't a set up. I'm saying these things because, while my mother is a strong Sith Lord, I have picked up a habit I despise... You have never done anything to deserve the way I've treated you since... that night." She looked down. Seeing that he had his hand close to his lightsaber she took hers from her belt and set it on the console. "There, okay? I'm not going to attack you." The girl glowered at him. Not that it meant anything... She could easily call it to her hand if she needed and she was proficient with Force lightning. But she liked to believe it was the thought that counted.
 
Connor looked at the lightsaber she set on the console for a moment, then used the Force to give it back to her. "You don't need to do that. I just need to trust that what you're saying is true." He hesitated, looking back to the display once more. "If you are being truthful...Thank you. It's been a long time since you've been nice to me. Honestly...It's nice." He gave her as much of a smile as he could given his state of protecting himself. He knew she'd sense his guard, but he was being genuine in his thanks to her. It was then he felt that feeling he had been having change slightly. It went from being a strange nagging to a more welcoming and positive feeling, but he still felt there was something that was going to happen while on this mission. Some sort of danger was going to befall them at some point and it was frustrating him that he couldn't place what exactly.
 
The lightsaber was back in her hand and she clipped it to her belt once more. "If you say so..." Why'nn leaned back. "Yes, I'm being truthful. You're being guarded around me, but you have no reason to trust me." She shook her head. "Anyway, if you want to talk more HK-50-01 and I will be getting some rest. I expect you'll want rest as well. Come get me halfway through the journey and I'll man the console while you get some sleep." Why'nn motioned the HK unit to follow her and she headed back toward the bunks. She had something to watch before she slept, anyway...
 
Connor nodded and watched as she left. He couldn't help but feel a little more drawn to her now, and, in fact, he wanted to go to her now and talk more, but he resisted. He was also going to let her sleep the whole the trip. He would use that as his way of thanking her, even if it did bother her that he didn't go to get her like she'd asked. It also gave him more time to think about things. He had never actually hated her, despite what she did to him. Granted, it did make him wary around her, but there was just something about her that made him feel drawn to her. It was like they shared a connection. He had always had a strange feeling when she was away with her mother. Whether it was a city away or an entire planet. He felt...empty when she wasn't nearby. It was a new kind of feeling, and it was a little off-putting that he couldn't put a name to it.
 
HK-50-01 was overjoyed that she apologized to Connor as he had wanted her to do. Of course it was difficult for her and she seemed to begrudgingly do it , but there was a time - years ago , centuries ago - that HK-50 wouldn't have wanted her to do this. That HK-50 died when HK-47 shot him to peices. But times change , people change. So here he was , extremely happy she was treating Connor decently. he had no hope that this could eventually be his relationship with Mistress - Mistress would never change. But for the moment he was happy that everyone here loved each other , and he wasn't going to be hurt.


When Why'nn motioned for him to follow he stood there for a moment , almost wanting to pay Connor on the shoulders and tell him he's okay now - like Why'nn did for him when he got frightened and they weren't with Mistress - but decided that may startle the Young Man. So instead he followed , and then decided to speak. "Prefix Unavailable : you did it! Oh thank you for doing that now everyone who loves me love each other.. So I assume we shall rest? I... Kind of want to sleep in your bed with you. You're too big to sleep in my lap again.. But I enjoyed that and I'm unusually happy right now. Plus , Mistress won't be here to t-t-torture me for it. And I think I should maintain the console watch with you when you need to. What about.. I watch the console and fetch both of you if something happens? I don't actually need rest like you do. Of course... I can't fly. But I can man weapons.."
 
Why'nn smiled at the droid's words, leading him to the sleeping chambers. "I don't know if 'love' is the word I'd use for my feelings toward him, but it is what I'd use for you so... I'll let that stand. And, yes, I'm much too big." She giggled at the thought. There was no way she'd be able to curl up like she had as a child. "But if you'd like to join me in bed, feel free. I appreciate your offer on the console, but I think either th-... Connor or myself should be on watch as we can fly the ship." She sat down on one of the lower bunks. Had she been home, and, therefore, alone, she would've popped the disk in and watched the holo of her father over again. But she was with HK-50-01 right now and that wasn't a holo she'd shared with anyone.
 
HK-50-01 disagreed that she didn't love Connor- otherwise she wouldn't have apologized , no matter what manner of miming he directed at her. Did he think she loved Connor as much as she did HK-50 himself? No. But she doesn't love him. Whether she says against it or not. Of course it goes without saying that HK-50 didn't have a particularly good grasp of what love was - he hadn't ever had any but from Why'nn. As always he enjoyed that she loved him , relished in the fact that there was one being in the Galaxy who could love someone like him. He also found the image of her now close to fully grown - Females tended to grow sooner than Males did , or so he had been informed in his research - self trying to fit in his pelvic region. She'd have to break bones to be that small.. And that just wouldn't work , now would it?


He would join her in the bunk. Why not? As he had stated , Mistress wouldn't be there to hurt him for it. He saw the rationale behind not allowing him to be alone at the Controls - if something happened that required immediate flight skills , he wouldn't be able to do much more than randomly fly off in any old direction. But he could be on the turrets when they did watch. Can't be much different from that massive repeating cannon I use , can it? He realized just then that in a few hours , Delrick's death date was coming up. He suddenly wished he had some sort of closure - whether Delrick hated him and wanted to kill him at those final moments , or whether he didn't even come to the Grey Jedi's mind. Anything would work.. I just want to know if he hates me when he joined with the Force.. Like I assume Sith and Jedi do..


So it was when they entered the sleeping quarters that he voiced this query. "Reply/Request : I'm happy to have that love. As I said.. You are the only person who has ever displayed such emotion towards me. I understand - I can operate the ship but it wouldn't do any good if we needed to avoid cannon fire. I can always man the offensive weapons we have , however. And yes - I will sleep with you. I'd like that.. Especially since you're close to fully grown and far larger than my pelvic regions. I.. Have a request. Did Delrick hate me when he died? I just want... Closure , I've heard it called. I've been thinking all these.. 6 years , actually , that he hated me. But I want to know if he did or not.. Finally put it to rest and move on. So I don't do what I did earlier again - not that I would. I love you too much to remove myself from existence."
 
Why'nn sighed and pulled him into the bed with her. "No. I don't think my father could hate anyone." She snuggled up close to the droid. Though her mother hated when she did this, to the point of hurting HK-50-01 to attempt to condition them against it, Why'nn was comforted by the HK unit's presence. Her finger traced the Sith emblem branded on his chest plate. "I doubt he even hated Mother when she killed him..." 'If anything he would've hated me for what I did to his body... Desecration of a corpse isn't exactly okay in most cultures... At least his body was taken care of in a respectful way.'
 
HK-50-01 wasn't sure if Delrick actually couldn't hate anyone. Being that his entire life had been ruled by hatred and fear , the idea someone could not hate him for betraying them was very foreign - even if Delrick treated him well enough. When she grew close to him in bed he trembled for a moment , conditioned to think his Mistress was going to burst through the door and severely torture him. But Mistress isn't here. Everything is safe for the week. This is OUR week to do whatever we choose to. Fear can throw itself out an airlock - into a sun. And so he stopped trembling and started hearing himself , and his eyes went orange- and didn't change back. They were supposed to go green when he was happy , but they weren't supposed to be the yellow that meant uncomfort and skittishness , either.


Of course he didn't doubt Delrick still loved Mistress when he died - they had a child together , did they not? Was that not the ultimate form of love , along with sharing thoughts - if you happened to be telepathic anyway. One of Why'nn's digits ran along the confines of the Sith Empire's emblem branded across his chest , the one that had been there since he had been reactivated. He wasn't sure why she was doing that , and didn't want to stop her by asking. He kind of liked it - for a brief moment , he didn't actually have a brand in that area. It was just someone he loved tracing out a familiar shape along his plating. As she trailed off he wondered if she didn't blame herself for anything , as he himself did. She shouldn't. If she thinks I have to fault of it , then neither is it any of her fault. I shall reassure her of it.


So he began speaking in a soothed , relaxed tone. "Prefix Unavailable : firstly - I think I need more prefixes. Obviously. Secondly... I'm not sure he didn't hate me.. But that could be my experiences speaking. Here I was getting into a state of comfort shaking because I'm used to being beaten for it. I have a feeling he may still have loved Mistress as she killed him - is not Passion the most.. Holy? Pure? Of emotions? The Sith are built on it.. 'Peace is a lie - there is only passion.' That is the first line of the Sith code. He loved her , in some way , always. Just as he loved you. Don't think I can't understand you. You think he hated you. You think he was upset about you. Did you not just reassure me he wasn't angry at me? If he wasn't angry at me , why would he have been at you? No , no. He loved you more than anything. I can say his last thoughts before joining whatever kind of Force was that he wouldn't be around to see you grow into an adult. I know it makes me happier than anyway I've ever been happy to see you grow and develop throughout all of your fourteen standard years. I love you more than I thought anyone could love anything. Don't be self-loathing like I am... You are far too wonderful to do that."
 
Jace made his way over the mountains that were previously in his way, now he's making his way up to the salvage site. Their fleet hung high over the site so he didn't fear them picking him up on a visual as he stalked the outskirts of the site. They seemed to be around some sort of cave they must have blew open with the ice that once blocked the entrance scattered around it. He saw many large metal boxes around, likely stuff they salvaged from this area. Then he eyed the pirates they were Weequay and the lightest armed among them held a blaster pistol and a vibrosword. As Jace got closer the sounds of growling drew his attention to a large cage he had mistaked for one of the boxes. Something large was growling and clawing around inside it. One of the pirates banged their rifle on the cage in an attempt to quite it. The response was an even louder bang which made the pirate back away from the cage and sigh.


Jace now had his idea for a distraction and he would infiltrate. He crept closer into the camp towards the cage looking for the panel to unlock it. He realized that it would be likely password locked so he would have to blow it open. He then crept around the site using the boxes and their landing crafts for cover. He then found a pirate with one on his belt. Jace drew his beskar electrosword and crept up behind him. He then swung his blade and took the pirates head right off his shoulders, then he quickly plucked a thermal detonator from the pirate's belt as others began running to the scene to investigate the sounds. But it was too late he activated the thermal detonator and rolled it a good distance to the cage. Just as the first of the pirates were about to arrive it blew drawing their attention.


Jace disappeared around a corner as sounds of screams and growling filled the air. He began to make his way towards the cave entrance and then he got a look at what was in that cage. It was a gundark a large one at that. As he went into the cave he looked back to see pirates shooting at while being clawed down one after the other.
 
"You survived almost 12 hours of my mother's most terrible tortures for him... Of course he wouldn't hate you." She hadn't stopped tracing. "And he wouldn't know to hate me. He was dead when I did what would've dishonored him... I desecrated his corpse, HK-50-01. I scorched his face and I stabbed him in the chest. He was dead. It wasn't torture, it wasn't defense... it was..." Why'nn sighed and stopped tracing, though she did get as close as she could. "It was an act of anger that I regret. He will never know... he was dead, he had already gone on... but... I'll always know." It was difficult to admit that and her voice was soft and quiet during this admission, something she had never told him. She assumed her mother had kept it secret as well, even if the Sith Lord had proudly recounted the interrogation of the prisoner that followed. That prisoner wasn't important. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her first kill. She had her first kill the night her father died.
