Piett Storyline - The Burning Question

Operative Nyx Reporting

(Two weeks have elapsed since last posting)

I snuck into the Executor using my modified Imperial fighter plane.  Surprisingly, there is a very lax security on that ship!  You would imagine such a large ship would be easy to sneak onto, but lo-and-behold, it really is!  Using the typical route of moving through the air vent system, I checked in on the dogs and they were fine.  I made a quick stop to look at my office, and it appeared the exact same way as when I left it.  I figured in the two weeks that I had been gone, maybe the office would have been cleaned out and re-assigned to a captain.  But it wasn't.  I crawled into the Admiral's office to find him there, and what a sad state he was in.  He looked completely disheveled and unkept, unable to concentrate at all.  My anger towards what he had done overrode my compassion.

I pulled out my dagger and snuck in behind him.  That's when he turned.  I ducked and hid, but I think he saw me out of the corner of his eye, so I finally stood there in front of his desk.  I confronted him why he killed Jedi Deese, and why they were communicating something that I was left out of.  He said that Jedi Deese couldn't take it anymore, that the constant fighting and war was driving him mad.  He essentially pushed the Admiral into killing him, using a combination of Jedi mind tricks, and the Admiral's sworn duty to protecting the Empire. 

Hearing that, a part of me broke down.  I didn't know Jedi Deese wanted to die.  I still blame myself that maybe if I had said yes to him and left the Order to be with him, he would still be alive.  It was a solemn reunion, and for some reason, I don't think I could have killed the Admiral even if I wanted to.  The memories of us being together flooded my mind, and all I could do was cry.  I didn't tell him where I was or what I was doing those past two weeks, and I assume he didn't care.  He just wanted me to be back with him, and sometimes, that's always nice to know. 

We spent the night together, and yes, having a two week break really did enhance our relationship greatly.  I miss Jedi Deese incredibly, but I also know that he would have wanted for me to move on.  And I think in pushing the Admiral to kill him, he knew he was leaving me in good hands.  The life of a Jedi is truly all about self-sacrifice, and Jedi Master Mischel Deese was one of the best examples of that.
