Sanguina sighed.  "That wasn't strength, that was panic.  She wasn't meant to wake up then.  She was meant to still be asleep, but Master put in place some precautions just in case and Fali came and messed things up."  She didn't seem to notice the door, instead beginning to play with the water.  "I haven't forgiven Fali for that and I think that's why he got scared.  But... I know why he did it just like I know why she did.  And Master was showing love.  That's how you love.  You cut and you drink the blood.  You give tea, you touch special places.  That's how you show love."  The girl finally looked up at him.  "I want to show you love but I don't think you like my love."

Connor pulled them out of hyperspace as they entered the right system.  He frowned, really unsure what to do here.  He needed to narrow it down to what planet she was on or near.  Again, he meditated, focusing on her presence.  Soon he found her: in orbit around Alderaan.  He set his new coordinates and flew them toward the planet.  "HK, you don't have to take control.  It's okay."

Fifty One observed the ship's interior, lazily listening to Connor and the other droid. He eyed them carefully before wandering toward the back of the ship and following unlocked doors to a maintenance port for droids in the middle of the floor. He lifted the grate and saw that he could fit into the port in self-repair mode. He detached several proximity mines and stuck them to the walls of the room, above the door, and on the floor next to the port. They silently scanned the room for movement that wasn't of their master. If they did, they would emit a piercing beepbeepbeepbeep before detonating and wrecking the room. The gunmetal droid dropped into the port and folded his legs, pulling his knees into his chest for self repair and recharge mode. He was also sure to leave on his self-detonation function, which activated automatically whenever he was tampered with in self-repair mode. This function was a bit more polite than the proximity mines, as they notified nearby agitators of its existence through Fifty One's unused vocabulator.

HK-50-09 grew more displeased as the chatter went on , largely because of how he felt ignored. 'How DARE he ignore me completely in favor of the iditoic Rodian that only cares about Sex. Oh yes , Make jokes about.. Whatever that was. Pay attention to the slut you don't even remember! Amen to that over there has done so much more with you , obviously! I'm better than any of THEM are , that's for sure. And I'll prove it - everyone will know just how inferior they are to me , the ninth and last of the Star Forge's final series of droids' He didn't care about the Twi'lek beyond that it was another of Zerek's numerous 'companions' - women too desperate to truly evaluate or care who it was they were sleeping with. 


Quickly , the silver droid stood atop the bar and began pacing , making grandiose gestures to accompany his soliloqy. "Informational : My last mission , this past one , oh , it was wonderful. First , I slaughtered a whole platoon of Sith troopers - nothing but a knife - and then , why , I made a Sith Lord submit to MY will! Here I was , nothing but my wits and a SlugThrower , and she almost instantly breaks! She gave into nearly ALL my demands , too! So us two , Zerek and I , we ship off to Dathomir. You know how many rancor I killed there? At least fifteen , not counting ones a Sith soldier was already shooting at. And this was with nothing but a light repeating rifle and a few grenades , barely in the span of an hour! The hulking things dropped like flies to MY particular set of skills - that is what superiority is made of , Fleshsacks!" His photoreceptors had shifted to a green color , the droid clearly and acutely aware of how not a single being in the bar could match his feats. It was most likely clear the egotistical fourth-degree droid was waiting for some kind of applause.

HK-50-01 took what his former Mistress would've considered a characteristic slowness to realize what system they were in. 'Alderaan? Fitting he'd go to this particular system , seeing as it has a large amount of traffic. It's also neutral.. Thank Raxus that this ship doesn't scream Sith , or we'd be rather.. Conspicuous?' By the time he had finished that stream of thought , Connor had informed him that he wasn't required to be a leader. It releived the ashen colored droid to the degree that he nearly reached out and embraced the former apprentice , but restrained himself purely because he didn't want to distract him from piloting. "Gratitude : Thank you sir , I.. I just assumed you needed me in charge. Thank you for not torturing me for being.. For being weak , sir." His photoreceptors shifted slightly more into orange than the typical yellow , altogether very pleased that he wasn't being harshly criticized for trying to take charge.

Zerek was about to reach for his third shot as 09 jumped on top of the bar. 'Oh for fuck's sake!' He tried and failed to get the remaining shots out of the way of 09's foot as he began to be a gigantic glory hound. Zerek, having just lost both booze and the credits used to pay for it, decided to fact check. First, the platoon slaughter. "Mostly." And then them negotiating with Manara. "She would have killed you." And then the rancor. "I provided air support." Several of the bar patrons groaned and begrudgingly clapped. Less for being impressed with 09, because his glory-minded rants were annoying, more for not wanting an angry assassin droid to rip their guts out and laugh. Lindlea tapped on 09's leg and motioned for him to get back to his seat.


Zerek, having finally hit a lull he could use, decided to inform 09 of his plans. "Hey, 09. I'm going to be leaving soon. Something I'll be doing alone. I'll be back in a month or so, OK? Hey, Lindlea, I need 15 bottles of whiskey, not top shelf." As Lindlea went about gathering the bottles, Zerek hoped 09 wouldn't be too stubborn about this. He didn't want to risk anything by bringing an assassin droid to his training. Not to mention that he'd need to keep him in check.

Delrick listened, raising an eyebrow at her definition of love and how it works. " So if I don't cut you, I don't love you? Because that is not how love works. That can be a form of affection. But not love." Delrick sat down and a chair formed beneath him. " Love is giving off yourself. For some it's giving their time, others give gifts. Still others show love by serving." He leaned forward on his elbows. " For me, I would die for those l love. I would sacrifice myself if it meant saving them."  He looked to her, the door now directly behind her. " That is love. And if you look at Why'nn's memories you'll see other examples of my love for her."
 
Alderaan System


@HK Fifty


"It's fine, look, we're the same we always were, okay?  No need to keep calling me 'sir.'"  Connor was annoyed by the frivolous pandering and he frowned slightly.  "Just... tell me what Delrick's ship looks like.  I need to know."  He glared out the front view, knowing they were getting closer to Alderaan itself.


Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Sanguina pouted.  "I like Master's love.  I want more of it.  Why can't we do that?  You don't like cutting or blood?"  She sighed again.  "Daddy, I just wanna feel the way he made me feel again.  I miss him.  Nobody touches me like him and... I thought that was what love is, but you're saying it's not.  I want him back.  This is confusing and scary."  The girl took a breath and slipped beneath the water's surface.  Soon, she began expelling the air from her lungs before she surfaced again.  It was clear she had no intention of harming herself.

@folclor


He shook his head at her. " What he did to you was not love. Search Why'nn's memories and you will see what love is. Both what I give to Why'nn and what she has given me."  He spoke gently, he could feel the fear and confusion in her. It was such a raw and new sensation. "I know it is, but this one way you learn. Would you like to ask Why'nn?"
 
Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Sanguina blinked.  "No!  No, I don't want to ask Why'nn.  It'll make her sad.  I make her sad so I can't go talk to her or she'll get upset.  She might cry or get angry and I'm not supposed to make her do that.  And how is what Master did not love?  It is love!"  She stood, looking very upset herself.  "And I understand that you gave your form of love to her and she gave her form of love to you, but nobody likes what I do as love..."

HK-50-01 was acutely aware that Connor was growing displeased with him. He wasn't sure what he had done , but clearly he had done something. The silver droid trembled as he quickly tried to think of a way to supplicate his superior - even going by 'how it always has been' , Connor still was superior to him. 


Unfortunately , he wasn't exactly what Delrick's ship looked like. It had only recently (as far as he could tell) came into the Grey Jedi's possession , and he had only seen a glimpse of it. Still , he had to try to do his best describing it. "Description : It's d-dagger shaped , wi-with struts going from the s-side connecting to s-some kind of.. Wings? I wi-wish I could point it out S- Connor , but the la-lanes are just too far away still.." The droid trailed off , somewhat ashamed that he couldn't magnify the - very busy - space lanes around Alderaan enough to get a look for the ship. Most - if not all - of the ships he could see from this distance (though 'this distance' was getting closer by the second) were corvette size at the smallest.

HK-50-09 was both speaking much too loudly and much too absorbed in the moment to hear Zerek's 'fact checks' - which was certainly a good thing for the self-described Renegade , as the assassin droid wasn't in a forgiving mood by any definition of the word. Equally lucky for the patrons , the egotistical droid failed to see the blatant lack of fervor in their applause , eagerly taking in the supposed superiority of the moment. 


Oh-Nine stepped off the bar when the cyborg bartender urged him to step down. 'I've already made my point anyway. They all know just how inferior they are.' As was typical , Oh-Nine laughed the moment Zerek said anything about doing something alone. "Query/Statement : Because the last time you did something by yourself went so well? What is it you even have to do by yourself anyway? Oh , I see. Now you take my suggestion! My speech very clearly caused you to see how perfect my logic is , so you're now taking my advice and keeping alcholol with you." His Brother would be more than used to how completely inflated Oh-Nine was after he gave one of his common stories , so this would certainly be nothing new - probably not even to Lindlea.

Delrick looked to her and nodded, sitting comfortably in the chair. " It's true, if you talk to her she might do those things. But people do those things anyways. By simply talking you can't make her sad or cry. Besides if your don't talk then you'll never be able to get what you want." He stood with her, the bathtub vanishing and clothes appearing on her. " And what you do is hurting others, and hurting people you love is not love."
 
Alderaan System


@HK Fifty


"HK, really.  I'm not going to hurt you.  You can stop being scared of that.  Okay.  That's not much to go on, but we'll do a bit of flying around until you spot it.  I didn't see the ship so...  Can you tell me what type you think it is?"  Connor would deal with trying to negotiate his way onto the ship.  He had to see Why'nn again.


Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Sanguina pouted.  "I don't want clothes!"  She stomped her foot.  "And what do you think I want?  Cause what I want is simple.  What I want is to be with Master and to love him and have him love me.  I want to feel comfortable again.  I want him to hug me!"  The girl did not like this one bit.  "That isn't hurting!  It feels good!  It always feels good!  How do I get to feel good again if he doesn't cut me anymore?"
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


He shook his head. " We don't all get what we want."  He sighed and stood looking to the door. " You want to be loved and made to feel special. Which you are, but what you think is love is not."  Again shook his head. " Cutting doesn't mean love. It can be affection, between mature beings, but you are a child who is about to throw a tantrum." He still spoke gently, but his face was stern. The door now stood beside both of them, becoming the dominant feature in the room.

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Sanguina glared at the door.  "You're being rude.  I don't want to talk to you right now!"  She turned her attention back to her father.  "I am not a child.  A child does not have the type of relations I had with Master!  He made me into a woman, so I'm not a child."  Crossing her arms, she scowled up at him.  "How is cutting not love?  How?  It's obvious it is.  He loved me, so he made me his masterpiece.  Now I don't have him so I have to find someone to make my masterpiece.  It won't be you."
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


If this had not been a serious discussion, the sight of her telling a door she did not want to talk with it would have made him laugh. Instead he crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. " If you're a women, how old are you?"  He waited for her reply before continuing the conversation about love and masterpieces. This answer would confirm or clarify some of his thoughts on her. 
 
Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


She stopped at his question and seemed surprised he would even ask.  It took her several minutes of thinking and some counting to come back with an answer.  "Um..."  Her image began to change, becoming smaller, features becoming more childish.  When the transformation was complete she looked as Why'nn had the night Delrick was 'killed.'  "Eight."  Sanguina drew herself up, all of her 4'7" height, and puffed her chest out.
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


He slowly nodded and looked down at her. " Uh huh. And how old is a women normally? "  He had wondered why she hadn't thought of herself as a child, but given she was a child she wouldn't know any better. He was lightly tapping his foot, while he matched her look.
 
Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Sanguina thought a moment.  "I don't know.  14?"  She thought more, then nodded, convinced she was right.  "But Master made me a woman.  You can be a woman early if someone makes you it..."  She looked down, kicking at the ground.  "Daddy...  Will you pick me up?  I want you to hold me.  I miss being held.  Can you pick me up, please?"  Finally, the girl took a couple steps toward him, raising her arms in a plea.
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


He nodded a little. " Well for some species you're not wrong, but for humans, that maturity happens around 17-19. "  He looked down at her and shook his head. " That is not true. All they can do is take your innocence away."  He picked her up as he spoke. " Becoming a man or a women comes with time and experiences." He looked to the door as he held her close, wondering if Why'nn could sense them or hear them.

After getting their now combined quarters established, Chuka stood just behind the pilots as they jumped back to normal space. He nodded upon seeing the familiar blue and green planet. " Alright, send our new associate the landing coordinates and take us down."  He slapped the pilot on the shoulder as he left. 


The pilot sent the location to the Mantis and began the descent. Quickly making planet fall in an open grass field, about 5 kilometers from the nearest building. Low laying rocky holds lined the area. Their handler, or one of his contacts would be waiting for them. " Hey we're landing, did you talk to him about getting our payment in person? Or do we have to wait for new credit accounts?" He knew Illya would understand he was referring to Davoosi Grell.

As he lifted her she seemed to shrink, looking about four by the time he had her in his arms.  She rested her head against him.  "Mmm...  But Master made me a woman."  She twisted so she could spread her legs and gesture between them.  "He went in there.  It felt good and he kissed me."  Twisting back around, she snuggled into his embrace.  "I don't wanna wait... 17 sounds so far away."


From behind the door there was a slight noise.  The handle began to twist.  Sanguina clutched her father like a frightened child and the door swung open, revealing a very tired-looking Why'nn.  "Dad?" she murmured, blinking a few times.  She was uncertain about the child he had in his arms.


Dantooine


Illya blinked.  "Hmm... Yeah, I talked to him.  He'll give us payment in person this time, but he won't do it again.  He says credit accounts or nothing next time."  She did have her assault rifle slung over her shoulder now, her helmet was on, but she expected hand to hand combat.
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


Delrick held the shrinking child in his arms, knowing she would resemble Why'nn. Because she was Why'nn, but not believing how much she looked like her younger self, even though she was talking about being deflowered. "I know it does, but it will come up on you and pass you by so quickly."


As the door opened Delrick gently patted the tiny Sanguina in his arms. " Hello Why'nn. There is someone I would like you to meet."  He lifted the frightened child in his arms, he was smiling softly to Why'nn. She would feel the warmth of his happiness. 


Dantooine


@Wintermute


Chuka opted to leave Mandalorian assault rifle and grenade launcher on the ship. He had all of his other standard gear with him though. " Then next time he had better set-up more in-depth security on our accounts to keep them from getting drained like that." As the ship touched down he lowered the ramp, pushing his helmet on and stepping into the bright light of the midday.

Why'nn blinked and looked at the little girl her father was holding.  The girl turned to look at her, crimson gaze meeting golden.  Sanguina lifted a hand to wave, the robe slipping down to show the deep scars 'gifted' by Nah-Iblen.  Why'nn, in this place, did not have them.  Her eyes widened and the room shook with fear and anger.  A wave of Force energy shot out at the girl, ripping her from Delrick's arms and slamming her against the blank wall.  "What is that thing doing here?!" she screeched.


Sanguina cried out, not returning to the age she had identified.  As she clattered to the ground she looked up to meet Why'nn's gaze.  "I told you, Daddy," she whispered.  "Why'nn doesn't like me."  Slowly, the girl got to her feet and dusted herself off.  "But I don't want to hurt her.  She just doesn't like me."  Soft footsteps padded along as she tried to return to Delrick.


Why'nn sent another wave of Force energy out, knocking her back against the wall and, this time, holding her there.


Dantooine


"I think he will.  That Rodian's a real crazy fucker, but he is, at least, logical on money matters."  Actually, that was why she got along so well with their handler.  Credits they could always agree on.  Illya accompanied Chuka down the ramp.  "Well, looks like no Sith followed us..."
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


Her outburst wasn't entirely unexpected, but the violent use of the Curve was. " That thing is an aspect of you. She is apart you, this is your mindscape."  Delrick made no moves to interfere with outbursts, he stood to the side and looked to Why'nn. " We all have aspects of ourselves we do not like, but must accept." His voice was stern and projected authority, like he was back in the council halls teaching padawan learners. " You must face her and talk with her."


Dantooine


@Wintermute


Chuka nodded and looked around, agreeing with her assessment of the Rodian. He was crazy, but what Rodian wasn't, but he knew his way around money. " So it looks like they don't know who was involved in the capturing of the Sith spawn, or there's been a power shift and they don't care anymore." He scanned the skies looking for the Mantis to land. " Either way, good fortune for us."
 
Alderaan Orbit


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


"That's not me!  That's a thing pretending to be me!"  Why'nn did let Sanguina down, at least.  "Why should I talk to it?"


"I'm not an it.  I'm a person," Sanguina murmured.


"No you're not!"  Another wave of Force energy poured out from Why'nn, slamming the other girl back against the wall.


"When Daddy died Mommy made us torture a Republic agent and when we were that young we didn't know what he said but he gave Mommy what she wanted.  She lied to us and told us he insulted us instead.  We killed him on her orders!"


Why'nn dropped the Force and turned, shaking her head.  "How does she know that?  Dad, how does she know that?"


Dantooine


Illya chuckled. "Very.  I think it's a mix of both.  I wonder if there's news concerning what that powwow was about.  Hmmm...  We should reach out to some of our agent friends, see what we can find out."  She sighed and shook her head.
 
Alderaan Orbit


@folclor


He shook his head and stepped between the two of them. " Enough! Sanguina is not a different person, she is you. That is how she knows what you know." He stepped towards his daughter, his arms reaching for her. " She's the part of your mind that protects you from overwhelming situations."


Dantooine


@Wintermute


The older warrior nodded. " That's not a bad idea, I'm sure someone knows something."  He continued walking from the ship looking for a good spot to draw the circle. " Hey didn't you make friends with that agent, Mikel or something? I seem to recall him owing is a small favor."

Sanguina seemed about to cry as she watched her father offer affection to Why'nn. She hugged herself. "I am a person," she whispered.


Why'nn the her arms around her father, holding on tightly. "Then what an I supposed to talk to her about? If she's me then she doesn't need to be here."
