Abducted

Operative Nyx' Journal

The assassin returned with a vengence. He crashed into the Executor and was captured.  I went into the jail to confront him, not knowing he was strong enough to break out of the shackles.  He grabbed the lightsaber I inadvertantly brought in with me, and started to decimate the troops.  He tried outing me saying I was a spy and a Jedi, so I finally told him that if he wanted to kill me, then he needed to face me.  Unfortunately, to him that meant taking me aboard his ship.  I was trapped there for what seemed like a millenium trying to escape until I finally gave up.  All he told me was his name was Revan.  He even offered me the opportunity to kill him, but I couldn't.  I am not a murderer, I am a healer and the premise of my faith is to "do no harm."  It was during the trip that he had a change in consciousness and said he was really a Jedi in training, named Riku.  That was the name I remember calling out before passing out after a major headache the day prior.  It was all very confusing, and in the end, he did kill three assassins when we landed on what I prefer to deem, Sith Central.  It was at this point I fell asleep on the incapacitated ship and Emporer Chihuahua activated my homing beacon stored in my pendant.

It was this signal that alerted a bounty hunter named @Corden_Maximus who kind of was off-putting initially.  But during our trip, he apeared to be quite the gentleman, even sensing when I was down or outright lying.  I could tell he caught on to what I really felt, but I was so overcome with emotion I couldn't hold it back anymore.  I was angry at myself for falling victim to the game of a Sith (just like the last time).  We exchanged pleasantries, and I even teased him a bit.  There was a profound connection to him that I can't exactly explain.  It was as if my job as a Rebellion spy and his as a bounty hunter were so similar, that maybe there was an unspoken understanding between us.  Everything felt comfortable and so relaxed.  I didn't have to be something I wasn't, I could just enjoy myself, and all of my masks dropped.  He finally returned me to the Admiral, and I think the Admiral seemed offended by the attention I was giving to Corden. After a bit too much to drink, I admit it is difficult to contain my emotions.  And for saving my life, I gave him the second Star stone from my homeland.  I have the other, and they are essentially two pieces of the same stone.  It is very sacred to give these away as they are so rare, and in doing so, it is a sign that I recognize him as a piece of the same soul I have.  It is a gesture of deep respect and friendship.  If he decides to sell it, then the stone will return to me somehow.  But if he keeps it, then that reaffirms the friendship and the bond will be forever. 

But I had to witness the carnage myself, the death of those soldiers that died because of me.  While the Admiral and Corden were speaking, I ran into the brig and saw the blood splattered all over the hallways.  I touched the blood and relived the killing of each soldier through his eyes.  It was horrifying and I cried out in pain and anguish.  I almost lost it.  I almost lost control of myself completely, but luckily Emporer Chihuahua was there and calmed me down.  Unfortunately, I still screamed and the Admiral arrived.  I was a bit cold towards him.  I couldn't tell him I was disappointed it wasn't him that rescued me, I couldn't ask him why he didn't come after me.  I just put that all aside and lived life as normal.

Unfortunately, my back is completely covered with bruising from the fight.  I couldn't even take a bath I was so sore.  I type this while lying in the arms of my Admiral.
