A Day With The Sith

Operative Nyx' Journal

I was sent on an assignment to track the Sith Lord, Lord Starkiller and possibly make contact with someone with immense Sith/Imperial killing abilities.  I snuck abord Starkiller's ship, APEX, and began listening in on their conversations through the air vents.  I so hate using that technique because the vents are always icicle cold, but I was able to hear a name or two.  There were three Sith Lords there, and I had a feeling all three knew I was there.  Very uncomfortable feeling, I assure you. 

It was through the comm system that I heard a voice that sounded vaguely familiar.  It's like I knew it, but yet I didn't.  I snuck down to the engine room and planted engine disabling devices just when the ship was unloading it's passengers for what was a battle of the bugs and beasts.  I have no idea why we were there, but I quickly changed into one of their uniforms and that's when I heard the voice again over the intercom.  The calls on the comms were desperate, and I couldn't bare to think someone I might have known died on that battlefield.  I rushed down to see the carnage, and lo and behold, there was a Mandolorian bounty hunter that looked familiar.  I climbed to a tree top, and that's when he contacted me via a psychic link. 

He knew me.  I didn't know him.  It was then a beast rushed towards him, and I jumped down and activated my lightsaber.  I think I saved him.  Then he turned and saved me.  And finally again, I saved him again.  Supposedly, he says we are even but I only counted three saves so, I'm not too sure about that.  Anyways, we retreated to the shuttle with the remaining troops and boarded the Apex.  It was there one of the Sith lords was hurting badly, so I healed her while the bounty hunter watched over me.  I feel compassion for all beings, even my enemies, and luckily the bounty hunter was there to keep an eye out.  Not wanting to return hatred for kindness, I gave Starkiller the deactivated spheres which would have signaled the engine disabling bombs to go off should I have needed them.  Starkiller said that if he ever catches me sneaking around on his ships again, he will confront me.  And to that, I told him to bring it on.  (Luckily I was stepping onto the bounty hunter's ship just then, so yeah, my butt got saved!)

The bounty hunter then revealed he had my other soul star gem.  I checked my pouch, and indeed one of them was missing.  I don't know what happened or how he got it, but a feeling tells me a lot happened the past couple of weeks.  He knew who I was.  He had my soul gem.  He had a psychic link.  And I am utterly confused.  Irregardless, he did let me bathe in his ships' shower to get the stinging bug guts off of my body and gave me clean linens.  I write this as I fall asleep waiting to be returned to the Executor. 

I did offer that whenever he's got a mission to take me along.  I get so bored writing reports all day.  I'm not cut out for observational missions at all, and luckily, I have a few friends willing to take me along.  Will transmit this report with my observations of the day to the Rebellion files.  Unable to locate the perpetuated Sith/Imperial killer.  And I was able to leave a comm link in the air vent above the bridge/cockpit of the Apex, so suffice it to say, I will be listening.
