Operative Nyx Reporting
Since I began traveling with Corden (@Corden_Maximus), I am finding my connection to my duties as a Rebellion spy are growing weaker. I seem to rather spend my time bounty hunting or hanging out with Corden. Everything I did in the past was sanctioned by the Rebellion, and now I seem to be living life on my own terms. I wear my Rebellion spy catsuit once in a while, but I am finding myself more comfortable in Mandalorian armor. It is a surprising shift I have been experiencing lately.
But today brought along new challenges. We met up with our old friend Rang (@theRangSkirata) who accompanied us on our bounty. The strange thing is while we were in our briefing session, both Rang and I detected a Force user probing our minds (@FanrekAndol). This Force User seemed to have taking a liking to my mind and located a deep and dark secret I have been hiding for quite some time. In order to stay with Corden, I had to break off my engagement to Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett). The Admiral and I grew very close since we have known each other and it was so hard to say good-bye. One thing lead to another and we ended up spending the night together. I never told Corden because I know the thought of me doing this would crush him. But Fanrek picked up on this repressed memory and used it to blackmail me into agreeing to test out a Force disabling device.
Rang went to investigate and gather more information at a different location, while Corden and I went to Dantooine and met up with a droid (@TranslatorDroid - temporary account) to receive the Force disabling device. When we looked into the case, we found what appeared to be a collar. I had to hide my eye rolling when I saw this, but I talked Corden into letting me try it on. When I tried it on, initially nothing happened. But Fanrek activated it remotely and I immediately felt my connection to the Force become blocked. I collapsed onto the ground and as soon as it was deactivated, I regained my abilities. I tried asking Corden to get rid of the device, but he decided not to. We left Rang to destroy the droid, and invited him over for some drinks.
I sincerely hope that device stays in its case. But as long as I keep that secret night with the Admiral away from Corden, I shall be Fanrek's slave to do his bidding.

Piett's Storyline - The Hoth Invasion
Operative Nyx Reporting
The data that I accidentally transmitted to Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) during my drunken episode the other day appeared to have made it into the wrong hands. Essentially what I had transmitted to Piett was that a Rebel base was located on the ice planet, Hoth. These wrong hands appear to be watching over the Admiral and I do not know why. I was able to ascertain from my research that whomever is tracking the Admiral is tracking everything from his movements to his actions, and they are in residence on the Executor. In one of the few times I have ever seen the Admiral express his emotion, he showed his frustration over the entire incident.
None the less, the Admiral attended a meeting and through the Force, told me that the invasion of the Rebel base at Hoth was imminent. I tried to contact the Rebellion through my secured comm line, but to no avail. I tried filing a report through the usual channels, and that line was also severed. Unable to use an Imperial line and risk detection by the Imperials, or having them intercept the coordinates of where the transmission is being sent to, I decided to head to Hoth myself. I managed to make it to the planet just as the Imperial surveillance droids were beginning to scan the planet. I reached the Rebels and spoke with their commander to initiate the evacuation procedures. In the interim, I decided that my best position was to stay behind and man the turret at the invading AT-ATs. The Hoth base was evacuated, but when I attempted to flee I was hit in the back.
I was later told that the Rebels took me to the nearest hideout which had a skilled medical droid, coincidentally this was the Cloud City outpost. There the medical droid treated the blaster wound I had sustained, and I rested while being watched over by a GG Series Translator Droid (@TranslatorDroid - temporary account). It was here that the Admiral tracked my distress beacon and located and hid me in a R6 battle-class droid, bringing me back to his transport ship en route to the Executor.
Back on the Executor, the Admiral had my wounds reviewed by his medical droids and I continued to receive additional treatment. I spent the night in the med bay while he watched over me, sleeping in a nearby chair.

Piett's Storyline - The Degobah Base
Operative Nyx Reporting (Edited by Operative EmpChihuahua)
I intercepted a comm message saying that a Rebel base on Degobah was going to be stormed by the Imperials. Without hesitation I left the Executor and flew to the Degobah system, landing in the midst of the swamp. It was there I eventually found the small compound and began evacuations. Emp (@EmpChihuahua) was one of the first to exit the compound to lead the Rebels to a safe haven. I decided to stay with a small set of battle droids, and without my knowledge a few Rebels stayed as well, while the transport ships left the area. It was here that I was confronted by Baron Fel (@Soontir_Fel), an Imperial TIE fighter. I soon realized I was going to be overwhelmed by the stormtroopers and fled, only to be taken down in the swamps of Degobah by Baron Fel.
It was during this time that I tried to buy some time and I summoned my doppleganger to sit in my office. Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) confronted me through the doppleganger, and used his phaser to shoot her (which is really me) and dissipating it. He then proceeded to the Degobah system to find both me and the Rebel outpost.
In the swamp, Baron Fel and I struggled until I was able to Force Throw him off of me. Using my metal spheres, I was about to teach Baron Fel not to mess with Rebels when Admiral Piett showed up and held me tight. Admiral Piett ordered Fel to stun me, at which time I was carried back to my ship and Fel unmasked me. He called Admiral Piett over and it was then Fel determined he was going to bring me to Vader himself. Admiral Piett tried stopping him and luckily I awoke and used a Jedi Mind Trick to get Fel to forget everything he just witnessed. With that Fel left but both Admiral Piett and I appeared shaken. I normally do not drink, but this warranted it. So I grabbed some random flask of an alcoholic beverage of some sort and apparently went to town.
Unfortunately, I did drunk text Admiral Piett that there was a Rebel base on Hoth. He questioned me about it the next day and didn't think much of it. Unfortunately, when I did check who received those texts, it appears they are being re-routed (or copied) to another account on the Executor. I attempted to find that account and the person accessing the information, but to no avail. I sent a message to Rebellion HQ to plan to have the base evacuated soon, but only upon my command. I also advised the Admiral to watch his back because everything he does is scrutinized at this point.

Piett's Storyline - The Possessed Partner
Operative Nyx Reporting
I left the room at Cloud City to retrieve the Force crystal from the droid that was being held at the Rebel outpost in the industrial district. This droid had the capability to disable the electronic systems of an entire ship the size of the Executor, and then put a hole into the hull for entry by Rebel troops. My concern was once this technically is used, the Imperials will only ramp up their efforts to counter it, and thus the arms race will lead to bigger and badder weaponry that could possibly destroy the entire galaxy. The systems disabling turret at the top of the droid was powered by a special Force crystal (which I had inadvertantly delivered the day before), and Firmus (@Admiral_Piett) and I agreed that this was our target. If that crystal could be retrieved, then the droid's special capabilities could be disabled.
Wearing my stolen Imperial spy catsuit and full face mask, I entered the outpost and slipped through the air shaft into the room. Unfortunately, the Rebels decided to run a test while there, and I hid inside of the massive droid. Using a Force shield around myself to protect me from the intense heat the test would generate, I watched the crystal glow blindingly as the droid fired a shot. A couple of tests later and the Rebels took a lunch. I inspected the damage of the turret and was amazed that not only could it knock out electrical systems (e.g., weapons, defenses, electronics, etc.), it could also breech the thickest of ship hulls. I retrieved the crystal, but while I was entering the air shaft, a Rebel came into the room and fired upon seeing me exit. Unfortunately, the blast hit my right butt cheek and I essentially slid down the air shaft back to the door from which I entered, Rebels in pursuit. I hobbled over to the city's aquaduct system. It was there when I was cornered by the pursuing Rebels, I jumped over the ledge and into the water below, escaping and coming up near an exit to the ship yards.
Luckily, Firmus was in the area with a ship, but only having exchanged my smuggler ship for a standard Imperial ship after the Cloud City guards were alerted to my ship being inappropriately docked. Those dang government officials and their rules! Just because I forgot to apply for a proper permit or request clearance shouldn't mean my smuggler ship gets invaded by the guards! Anyways, he helped me to the ship as my butt cheek made it difficult to walk. Finally on board he treated my wound but I became enthralled by this Force crystal. I think Nij'uan (my Kiffar father-figure and psychic training Master) activated the crystal and it kept speaking to my mind. It told me about great amounts of power if I just merged my spirit with it, and with this power, I could defeat the dark side. So while we were en route to Naboo, I kept trying to talk to it in Kiffar to figure out this procedure. Firmus didn't trust me and decided to take the stone away.
While on Naboo, Firmus was contacted by Baron Fel (@Soontir_Fel) and completely distracted. I snuck into the kitchen and took the crystal, running off with it to the Naboo temple ruins to complete the ritual. It was there Firmus confronted me and somehow I became possessed by the spirit of the crystal. While possessed, I lost control of my body and the spirit took over, attacking Firmus. Baron Fel managed to hand and in the battle, obtain the crystal and take it away. As the spirit that possessed my body was about to kill Firmus, Baron Fel shot the crystal into a star which destroyed both it and the star. It was at that time the connection to the stone was broken and I fell to the floor completely sick.
I transported Firmus and I to his Naboo house and there I healed his injured hand. We ended the night in the usual fashion, and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Corden's Storyline - The Hunted Bounty Hunter
Operative Nyx Reporting
BACKGROUND STORY: (Nyx is not aware of this happening at this point in the story) It appears that Jabba the Hutt has placed a bounty on Corden (@Corden_Maximus) head for rescuing Nyx from Jabba's Palace on Tattooine. The assignment was given to the bounty hunter Lobo (@ShitLoboSays) at which time he hunted Nyx and Corden down at one of her many beach safehouses.
JOURNAL
It was a pleasant surprise to see that Lobo made it out safely from Jabba's Palace. He came to the beachhouse and I rounded up a bottle of whiskey for us to share while we waited for Corden to wake up. Unfortunately, I was not aware exactly HOW STRONG this whiskey that Corden downs actually is. But I assure you, two shots left me completely hammered and falling out of my beach lounger onto the sand (yes, face first!). Corden brought me back to the ship and nursed me to health while I recovered.
It was during my recovery phase that I kept receiving text messages from Wolf (@Magiwolf) to meet him and his girlfriend (@XelaThrae) at a secret location. It was there he showed Corden and I lightsaber crystals that he had recovered. I inspected one of them and it was a very high quality stone. I would be interested in taking these for a possible dual tipped lightsaber, as I have ALWAYS wanted one but never go around to making one.
Maybe I will buy one of these crystals off of Wolf for a new lightsaber.

SEPARATING THE TWO STORYLINES
The two storylines are now separating, as follows:
Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) will be matched to the Sandalphon Account (@CelestYalphenyx)
Corden Maximus (@Corden_Maximus) will be matched to the Nyx Account (@Celestialphenyx)
The difference between the two accounts is noted in the description field of each, where the Nyx account will primarily be a mature account, and the Sandalphon account will be more romantic (unless the Admiral wishes it not to be).

Corden's Storyline - The Slavedriver Jabba
Operative Nyx Reporting
I was on a mission with Lobo (@ShitLoboSays) when something heinous happened. He managed to kill his Rodian target (along with everything else in the immediate vicinity) and upon exit was confronted with dozens of security personnel. I threw a flash grenade and shot at them with a shotgun (which inadvertantly hit him as well), but they still were advancing. Finally, I ran into the middle of the crowd and used Force Repulse which sent everyone (even Lobo) flying through the air. He managed to get the Millenium Falcon to our position and we quickly lifted off en route to Tattooine and Jabba's Palace.
As a side note, I absolutely /hate/ going to Jabba's Palance. The reason I say this is that sick Hutt is always trying to get in my pants or trick me into selling myself into his harem. None the less, I figured by keeping my face covered, I would be safe. When bartering for the bounty, Lobo got gypped by Jabba and sent into the Rancor pit where he was eaten alive. While I was still reeling over that incident, Jabba's henchmen captured me and dragged me aboard another ship where I was flown to Jabba's other palace. It was in transit that Corden (@Corden_Maximus) telepathically contacted me and started to come to my rescue.
At Jabba's other palace, I was changed into standard slave clothing and a chain was put around my neck. Jabba's translator (@translatordroid - Temporary Account) proceeded to translate the conversations between me and Jabba. I tried using my Jedi powers, but Jabba had a device which blocked my ability to do so. Apparently, he came prepared to capture and detain me indefinitely. Somehow Corden managed to sneak into the facility without anyone noticing and at the right minute, started negotiating with Jabba for my release. The sad thing is that Corden agreed to do a bounty for free in exchange for a "taste" of me. Yes, that is exactly what it sounded like. While in the back room, we managed to escape and go back to his ship.
It is assumed Corden can never accept work from Jabba at this point, and that he's probably got a bounty on his head too for my release.

Piett's Storyline - The Basilisk of Mass Destruction
Operative Nyx Reporting
Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) insisted on going with me to track down the Imperial General Veers' adolescent son, Zevulon. Unfortunately, I later realized that the Admiral has been far removed from fighting and he may present more of a liability in the field than an asset (when he got injured while we were attempting to destroy a Rebel cloning facility that was heavily guarded my mercenaries). I decided to detour to my favorite skytop lounge for the night, and took him on a different type of mission. This mission was one in which I had to deliver an artifact to the Rebel outpost in the Cloud City. It was here I was greeted by my Kiffar master, Nij'uan (@Kiffar_Nijuan - temporary role-playing account). Nij'uan is not a Rebel, but he is a Rebel sympathizer and uses his psychic abilities to aid whenever necessary.
It was at the Cloud City Rebel outpost that Nij'uan showed me what the jewel artifact was to be used for. It turned out it was a power source of a very large Basilisk droid. The Rebellion somehow obtained the blueprints for mine/Corden's (@Corden_Maximus) Mandalorian Basilisk battle droid (named Beskar'ad), and modified them into an even larger droid. This larger droid carried a laser turret on top, which when powered by the jewel, would fire a systems disabling blast at the target. Essentially, this super Basilisk was intended to take down any war ship the Imperials had. I left the safehouse completely angry at the sight because what this means is that if the Rebellion has this capability, then that means the Imperials will create something to counter it. And then the Rebellion will create something more to counter whatever the Imperials make, and the battle just goes on forever. Soon, there will be superweapons that will either get into the wrong hands, or will be used for the ultimate of evils (e.g., killing the innocent).
If it was discovered that Firmus visited the outpost with me, he and I would both be in deep trouble with our respective organizations. I took him along just to show him the Rebel operations, and that the Rebels are no different than his Imperials. We are both fighting for causes we deeply believe in, but something beyond the worker bees such as he and I, is keeping this war on-going. That is what I deem the Sith, but then the Sith would claim it is the Jedi. Again, it is a vicious cycle.
None the less, I rented a penthouse suite and spent the rest of the evening with Firmus simply relaxing, exchanging small talk, and ordering in. We can't always possibly talk about the problems in the relationship, the problems of our jobs, and the problems of the Galaxy. Spending a bit of time re-connecting and telling how much we love each other helps ground us in reality.
As a side note, I could see it that Nij'uan approved of Admiral Piett. That approval means so much to me, it truly does.

Piett's Storyline - The Infamous Lobo
Operative Nyx Reporting
Lobo (@shitlobosays) came with me to demolish the third cloning facility. In total, there were four remaining when I confronted the leader of the operation, my half-sister Nykita whom I had never met in my entire life. We destroyed that facility and I decided it was best to take a little time for R&R and return to the favor to Lobo. So I joined him for a bounty hunt on the Cloud City.
Unfortunately, the bounty hunt did not go so well as the Rodian stole my ship (which we arrived at Cloud City in). Lobo was able to obtain the Millenium Falcon from Lando Calrissian and we were in pursuit. The downfall?! My ship has coordinates to many of the locations I recently visited and several safehouses. If that information were to be retrieved, I would lose those access points and put my contacts in danger. Thus, Lobo and I are currently en route to the Rodian's homeworld in the Falcon. The downfall is that all Rodians tend to look the same, so finding this particular one will be a needle in a haystack.

We destroyed that facility and I decided it was best to take a little time for R&R and return to the favor to Lobo. So I joined him for a bounty hunt on the Cloud City.
Unfortunately, the bounty hunt did not go so well as the Rodian stole my ship (which we arrived at Cloud City in). Lobo was able to obtain the Millenium Falcon from Lando Calrissian and we were in pursuit. The downfall?! My ship has coordinates to many of the locations I recently visited and several safehouses. If that information were to be retrieved, I would lose those access points and put my contacts in danger. Thus, Lobo and I are currently en route to the Rodian's homeworld in the Falcon. The downfall is that all Rodians tend to look the same, so finding this particular one will be a needle in a haystack.
Piett's Storyline - The Piett Strikes Back
Operative Nyx Reporting
Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) has returned! The world is right-side up and sunny and sparkly with bunches of rainbows! How exciting! The downside of Admiral Piett returning?! Um, technically, I am now also engaged to Corden (@corden_maximus) as well as Piett. I have to make a decision soon. Both are being very patient, and I adore them completely. But, in all due fairness and honesty, I really should choose. Here's what I adore about each:

But, in all due fairness and honesty, I really should choose. Here's what I adore about each:
Admiral Piett
- Has been by my side since the very beginning of this mission
- Cared about me even when I might have been cold, heartless, and kind of hormonal some days
- I tried to kill him several times and he still cares deeply (although I don't know if this is love or insanity, still on a fence about that one)
- Gentleman and reserved
- Thoughtful, caring, supportive
- Has the same desires as I do to bring peace to the Galaxy
- Completely sexy
- Adventurous
- A bit of a bad boy, but underneath it, he's really very sweet
- Devoted, committed, and faithful
- Understands me on a deeper level
- Hilarious and quick witted

Corden's Storyline - Leaving Sith Space
Operative Nyx Reporting
Corden (@Corden_Maximus) and I decided to leave Sith space after I found it was gnawing at my mind too much. He cared too deeply to have me stay there and deal with the dark side calling out to me practically every second. We have returned to our simple life of bounty hunting, craziness, and bunker busting!
Here's to a HAPPIER life living on OUR OWN TERMS!!!

Corden's Storyline - The Other Artymis Brother
Operative Nyx Reporting
Corden (@Corden_Maximus) and I unfortunately entered a bad bounty hunt. It appears it was a set-up, possibly the bounty (or intelligence gathering mission) was intentionally sent to his console, knowing he would probably take such an easy assignment being that I was tagging along. The room we were in was hit by an explosive device, and Corden asked me to leave while he covered our retreat. It was in that room that he was apprehended by the Kyr'tsad (Mandalorian Death Watch), specifically Barsten Artymis (@Barsten Artymis - temporary account), who was brother to the slain Fenris Artymis.
Barsten was seeking revenge for his brother's untimely passing at Corden's hands, and as such, took the captured Corden to a Kyr'tsad controlled planet. While en route, the Kyr'tsad beat up Corden pretty badly, and continuing to do so when they took him to the brig in their multi-leveled compound. There were so many of them, I felt completely overwhelmed. But I entered the compound with Beskar'ad (the Mandalorian battle droid) at my side. Using my lightsaber and Beskar'ad's rush/tackle attack, we made it down two levels to the basement. And for anyone that knows me, I only use my lightsaber unless it is the absolute last resort, and seeing the Kyr'tsad in action previously, I know they aim to kill. Unfortunately, regardless of the numerous telepathic warnings Corden was trying to give to me, it was a trap and I was captured, my weapons confiscated, and Beskar'ad was powered down in the hallway.
I was taken to the torture chamber to see Corden. He was beaten up and chained to the wall, with a holo of the security camera footage of me walking down the hallway being used to torture his mind, as much as his body was beaten. Wearing his dead brother's armor, Barsten pulled out a vibroblade and intended to kill Corden as I watched.
It was then I could feel a pulse run through my body, and it was as if time stopped. Seeing the vibroblade and Corden looking at me as if to say "sorry" struck a cord deep in my soul. I had to do something, I had to stop him from being killed. Upon feeling a second pulse, my eyes shifted over to a bright blue and I told him through the Force to close his eyes. It was at the moment he did, Barsten turned and saw what I was doing and tried to stop me. Unfortunately, it was too late. I unleashed a Force Repulse which, thank goodness Corden still had his Kiffar warrior armband of protection on because it protected him from my powers, but all of the Kyr'tsad in the immediate vicinity were flung into the walls, crushing their bodies in their armor. I sincerely hope that there aren't anymore Artymis brothers running around, because they seem to be getting more violent each time we run into them.
We escaped back to his ship where I was able to heal his wounds, his broken rib, and return to the space station.
Honestly, I thought I was only able to heal, but apparently when placed under a great deal of duress or stress, my Force abilities are starting to return. This is a miracle, but I do not want for them to return every single time a loved one is in trouble. I would rather they return during meditation or an exercise, but getting stressed out seems to also equally work wonders! Corden is sleeping beside me and appears to be okay. I just hope this is the last we have to deal with the Kyr'tsad. And I still don't understand how I made it out of the Kyr'tsad's compound alive!!!

Corden's Storyline - Two Lives Become One
Operative Nyx Reporting
The following morning I woke up to find the Corden had left me a note to meet him at my bunker. I approached the bunker a bit scared because he has never asked for me to come over in this manner. None the less, I found him in one of the rooms, and it was there that I got a bit nervous. He revealed to me that he was looking forward to having children and a wife someday. And that's where I panicked. I freaked out because, well, as a spy I am technically not supposed to have children. It is really a matter of keeping them safe and with me constantly traveling on missions, I would hardly ever see my children.
(But then again, if I think about it, both of my parents were constantly on the go and I grew up just fine. A bit of a latchkey kid, but otherwise still fine.)
Well, apparently I misunderstood what he meant, and thought he was breaking up with me because of my career and the potential that our kids would be in harm's way. It was then he revealed that he wanted me to marry him. I was shocked. I didn't know how to explain to him that Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) and I were already secretly engaged. But then again, the Admiral has been very distant as of late and I can't wait around forever for him! So I accepted.
The only thing I worry about is I tend to be very flirtatous around others and I hope Corden doesn't get his feelings hurt. I mean, as much as I joke around incessantly, my heart and body both belong to him. Always. I might have a sleepover with my girlfriends where we cuddle, I might tease a droid incessantly, I may just flirt my way through a mission, but it is only Corden who will know the real me. It is only Corden who would have access to my body in that way. It is only in Corden's arms to where I would run to and sleep at night. And in the traditional sense, I have yet to perform a heart connecting ceremony, because I am waiting for the right time to do so. It is during this ceremony that our hearts will always be together as one, regardless of what happens between us. I would never forget him and I would hope he would never forget me.
As a side note, the following day we mainly stayed at the station spending quality time together. Life is definitely a lot slower with Corden. I am not used to it. I normally prefer action and completing objectives, but I am finding myself drawn to his simple lifestyle.
Operative Nyx' Private Journal
Okay here's where I am going to start gushing. I find Corden incredibly sensitive and sexy. Yes, I admitted it. I think about him constantly and I have never felt myself drawn to a man in this way. He makes me feel secure, loved, and treasured. It's quite sweet really. I don't want to tell him this because knowing him, he will get a huge ego and I will regret ever telling him all of this. But in a way, I want him to know. No one else has ever gotten this far into my heart. Not even Admiral Piett, I am afraid to admit. Corden is something else entirely and I adore him completely.

Corden's Storyline - The Death Watch Returns
Operative Nyx Reporting
It appears the Mandolorian splinter group, referred to as Kyr'tsad (Death Watch or Death Society), attempted an assassination on a Bothan spy by the name of Borsk Fey'lya (@Borsk_Fey'lya). Borsk and I go back some time, as we had to work together on several intelligence gathering missions. He appears to have had the assassination attempt take place in a Rebel ship, where he was speaking in a conference room with associates. Unfortunately, the Mando Death Watch member ended up shooting Borsk in his head, and injuring 12 others, 6 of which died. The saddest of all was of those that died, one was a small girl whose little doll was still on the floor when I arrived at the crime scene. Scrawled across the wall in the conference room, in the victims' blood, was the symbol of the Kyr'tsad. I felt a rage building inside of me, but I stifled it.
I then proceeded with Operative Val (@Valadhiel_) to the Rebel medical ship that was stationed nearby to handle the injured in the attack. It was there I found Borsk lying in a hospital bed under heavy sedation. I managed to speak to him, but the only thing he could manage to say before passing out was "the Yuuzhan Vong were infiltrating the galaxy and were talking to Boba Fett." With that we left in Corden's ship back to the station.
At the station, I briefed Yummy (@Senator_Yemaja) with what I had discovered, and she requested that I get the name of the specific Yuuzhan Vong that was dealing with Boba Fett. I agreed to go back to speak with Borsk when he was in a better frame of mind to gather this intelligence.

Piett's Storyline - The Cloned Piett (Part III) - Almost at the Finish Line
Operative Nyx Reporting
I received a strange text from my Rebel associate, Wolf (@M0dern_R0gue) that he was captured and being held hostage. I contacted Lt. Bryce Walker from the Imperial Navy and he agreed to accompany me to the distress call. Upon arrival, we found the facility completely barren and went in. Upon entering, that is when we discovered Wolf tied up and being held hostage by a young woman (Nikyta) who insisted she was my sister. After a drawn out discussion, I finally agreed to help the poor and lost girl. She seemed so frightened and clingy.
I had them wait in my ship while I detonated explosives in the facility to blow up those cloning operations. I was told that there are four additional sites that contain cloning operations and I need to destroy them soon before the cloning operations are moved.
Yes, I see the finish line. As for my half-sister that I only met that day, I offered her a place to stay at my forested house until she can figure out what she wants in life.

Corden's Storyline - The Weapon of Mass Sith Destruction
Operative Nyx' Journal
I had some strange dreams during the night that disturbed me deeply. I decided to take the day to leave the station and Sith space for some rest and relaxation on a beach. I took the dogs and Beskar'ad with me and we headed out to the beach for most of the day, returning to the station to examine the box that we had retrieved from the Kyr'tsad (Death Watch Mandalorians) and discovered the light sided weapon had been fully assembled into a giant metallic sphere. Unfortunately, after hours of careful examination and manipulation, the device would not activate. I thought it was broken or assembled incorrectly, and that is when Corden (@Corden_Maximus) suggested that I read the data I had received from Jedi Master Mischel Deese to see if there were clues I had previously missed. Of course I had poured over the data and holos for hours and knew it line by line, but there was one part I had inadvertantly missed. But essentially the device was called a KanyeSoliel. I have no idea what a "Kanye" is but I do know "soliel" is an ancient term to describe a "sun" or "star energy." Under the assumption that this device charges when near a solar or star energy source, I asked Corden load it into his ship, the Ne'tra Werlaara.
It was at that time I decided to find a test subject for the light side weapon, but I needed to get the weapon out of Sith space. Tapping into the Heaven's Fires communication system, I was able to listen in on the conversation that Galen'tza (@Lord_Starkiller) and Savage (@Savage_Opress_) were having about Savage's search for his missing brother. It was then I realized Savage would leave the safety of Sith space and this would be my one opportunity to test out the weapon. Galen'tza ordered Galen (@The_Starkilla) to acompany Savage and we headed to the hangar just as they were getting ready to leave themselves.
Using the Ne'tra Werlaara, we followed them out of Sith space, and at that point, I went to check on the device. The moment I got near the sphere, a bolt of energy went from my hand into the sphere and it immediately activated. As soon as it activated, it began to levitate in place and follow me wherever I went in the ship. Upon nearing a solar system, the weapon seemed to have collected the energy of the nearby star and take on a subtle glow.
We followed Savage and Galen to Kalakar 6, a volcanic moon. It was here that there was a warehouse and Savage's missing brother appeared. The brother, however, fought against Savage and Galen and it was discovered that this was not the actual brother but an image. It was at that point that I made my way to an outcropping of rocks and the light side weapon opened up a hole in the middle. Corden questioned what I did next, but I simply inserted my arm into the middle of it, at which point it began to transform and several parts of it began rotating around my arm in different directions. We watched the exchange as the image of Savage's brother dissipated and I steadied my arm with the transformed light weapon on it, a firing mechanism in my palm. Corden asked what I thought the weapon would do, and I simply said it contained the pure creative energy of the light side, therefore it must do something utterly fantastic like give Savage "happy thoughts." Of course, this was purely a hypthoetical and for all I knew, it could simply blast Savage into oblivion.
It is always these moments, when seconds seem to be hours, that the reality of what was about to happen hits. It is almost a "point of no return" and I began to feel sorry for what I was about to do. Although I have not known Savage for very long, I feel a fondness towards him. I know he is Sith but somewhere deep inside of his heart, there is a goodness that I feel. I became aware of this in our interaction in the storeroom aboard the Heaven's Fires space station. Even in my Forceless state, I could still feel it within him the desire to do good. I am honored to say that I consider him my friend, and I almost put the weapon down at that point. But then I started thinking of Galen'tza's brutality against my dearest friend, Yummy (@senator_yemaja), and my anger at the Sith returned. Corden questioned my friendship with Savage, but I repeated that he was indeed a friend in every sense of the word.
At that moment as I steadied my arm, a white light portal opened up showing Yuuzhan Vong ships. Savage, Galen, and Corden became alarmed at the sight. And as soon as the portal appeared, it vanished and that's when I flicked my wrist back and fired the weapon at Savage. He dropped immediately to the ground after a ball of light energy hit him, and I was hit immediately with overwhemling fear as soon as it fired.
This must be the reason why the weapon was never deployed before. It seems that as "negative" as it would be for the Sith, it also has an extremely negative effect on the Jedi user. The fear rocked my mind and my body beyond belief, something I had never experienced before. Galen asked me to come out from the rocks, and I did. For some reason, he was not effected by the blast and as I asked him to choose between coming back with Corden and I or helping Savage, he said he wished to remain as he was. Galen took Savage to Savage's ship and set the autopilot away from Sith space.
It was during that time, the overwhelming fear took control of my body. I couldn't bear it any longer and collapsed onto the floor. I do not remember much after this point, but Corden says I began to shake violently. Galen lifted me onto his shoulder and brought both me and the light side weapon (which had already transformed back to a levitating sphere beside me) to Corden's ship. It was there that I became unresponsive, continued violently shaking, and began to go into shock. As Corden treated the physical symptoms, Galen stabilized my mind. We returned to Heaven's Fires and I was laid on Corden's bed to rest, my precious light side weapon beside me.
Time elapsed and I finally regained consciousness. Now, I realize after the fact that the weapon can indeed destroy the Sith but at a great price to the Jedi user. I fear for those Sith that are inherently (and forever) evil, the weapon would destroy them completely. For those Jedi/Sith that remain on the fence, or that dabble within both the light and darkness, there is hope that it can help make their decision towards the light. But Jedi do not believe in death in this manner, so using the weapon is of upmost care. It has been granted to me and I intend to only use it as a last resort. Corden agreed to maintain the weapon's secrecy from Galen'tza. Although Galen'tza has nothing to fear as it cannot be activated within the Sith space nexus.
I had some strange dreams during the night that disturbed me deeply. I decided to take the day to leave the station and Sith space for some rest and relaxation on a beach. I took the dogs and Beskar'ad with me and we headed out to the beach for most of the day, returning to the station to examine the box that we had retrieved from the Kyr'tsad (Death Watch Mandalorians) and discovered the light sided weapon had been fully assembled into a giant metallic sphere.

But then I started thinking of Galen'tza's brutality against my dearest friend, Yummy (@senator_yemaja), and my anger at the Sith returned. Corden questioned my friendship with Savage, but I repeated that he was indeed a friend in every sense of the word.
At that moment as I steadied my arm, a white light portal opened up showing Yuuzhan Vong ships. Savage, Galen, and Corden became alarmed at the sight. And as soon as the portal appeared, it vanished and that's when I flicked my wrist back and fired the weapon at Savage. He dropped immediately to the ground after a ball of light energy hit him, and I was hit immediately with overwhemling fear as soon as it fired.
This must be the reason why the weapon was never deployed before. It seems that as "negative" as it would be for the Sith, it also has an extremely negative effect on the Jedi user. The fear rocked my mind and my body beyond belief, something I had never experienced before. Galen asked me to come out from the rocks, and I did. For some reason, he was not effected by the blast and as I asked him to choose between coming back with Corden and I or helping Savage, he said he wished to remain as he was. Galen took Savage to Savage's ship and set the autopilot away from Sith space.
It was during that time, the overwhelming fear took control of my body. I couldn't bear it any longer and collapsed onto the floor. I do not remember much after this point, but Corden says I began to shake violently. Galen lifted me onto his shoulder and brought both me and the light side weapon (which had already transformed back to a levitating sphere beside me) to Corden's ship. It was there that I became unresponsive, continued violently shaking, and began to go into shock. As Corden treated the physical symptoms, Galen stabilized my mind. We returned to Heaven's Fires and I was laid on Corden's bed to rest, my precious light side weapon beside me.
Time elapsed and I finally regained consciousness. Now, I realize after the fact that the weapon can indeed destroy the Sith but at a great price to the Jedi user. I fear for those Sith that are inherently (and forever) evil, the weapon would destroy them completely. For those Jedi/Sith that remain on the fence, or that dabble within both the light and darkness, there is hope that it can help make their decision towards the light. But Jedi do not believe in death in this manner, so using the weapon is of upmost care. It has been granted to me and I intend to only use it as a last resort. Corden agreed to maintain the weapon's secrecy from Galen'tza. Although Galen'tza has nothing to fear as it cannot be activated within the Sith space nexus.

Corden's Storyline - Chain of Memories
Operative Nyx Reporting
Throughout the day, I received text messages from the Mandalorian Death Watch member, Fenris Artymis (@Fenris_Artymis) that were inappropriate. He told me whom I was seeking was the person that originally sent me the data to the light side weapon, Jedi Master Mischel Deese. This doesn't make sense since Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) killed Deese a long time ago, and yet I received a data transmission from a source claiming to be Deese recently. The data contained the location of the crystals needed to make a light side weapon. All of this doesn't make sense because I burned Jedi Deese's body myself in a funeral pyre, so how could he have sent me the transmission?
Anyways, Fenris said that he wanted to see me. I initially refused until he claimed he had my pendant. For anyone who is familiar with psychometrics, all it takes is a trained psychic to unlock the memories that embedded themselves into the necklace. In order to protect the location of my bunkers, the people I associate with, and my missions, I had to go. In accordance with Corden's wishes, I told him before I ran off. He joined me to retrieve the necklace in the slums of Corscucant.
As usual, my Forceless self was helpless against the Death Watch Mandos, and I was caught and taken to the basement where Fenris mentally tortured me. He kept egging me to call Corden to his death, as three other Death Watch Mandos waited to ambush him. It was at that time that Savage Oppress (@Savage_Oppress) contacted me and I told him what was happening. He was apparently en route as Corden entered the basement with Beskar'ad and took out the three Mandos waiting. Corden squared off with Fenris, and was hit by Fenris' shot. As Fenris ran towards him for the death blow, Corden apparently killed him (this is where I looked away). When I opened my eyes, Fenris was on the floor dying and my ties were off. I retrieved my necklace from Fenris' body, just as I heard footsteps upstairs of what I suspected were other Death Watch Mandos. Corden managed to blow a hole in the wall and we escaped to the street above where Savage Oppress and Galen (@The_Starkilla) were providing cover fire. Entering the ship, we made it back safely to Heaven's Fires.
I know it is silly to think all of that work for a necklace, but for psychically sensitive Force users, much intel can be gathered through the touching of jewelry. Hence, how do you think I'm so good at what I do?

Corden's Storyline - Enter Fenris Artymis
Operative Nyx Reporting
The Kyr'tsad (Mandalorian Death Watch) bounty hunter (@Fenris_Artymis) was tied up in the brig while I was contacted by my (potential) Jedi Master The Whyrm (@TheWhrym). The Whrym still does not trust me, and try as I may, sometimes I think he never will. Irregardless, I intend to prove to him that I am indeed trustworthy. But he said a few things that caught my attention. I guess I am still young and I lack his infinite wisdom, but he mentioned that peoples' hearts will change with time and revenge was not a Jedi's intention. I tried to explain that the Jedi are hunted down like animals and I can't just sit around and watch it happens, but again, he talked about the issue of revenge.
I had to end the conversation because he had given me so much to think about.
It was during the conversation with The Whyrm that I was rudely interrupted by Fenris making completely inappropriate comments. Finally, I asked Corden (@Corden_Maximus) to handle the issue and that's when the interrogation began. Fenris finally caved (or simply got tired of spitting up blood) that he agreed to give me the name of who had the bounty out on my head and who had wanted Corden taken cared of. We let him go on this promise that he would provide me with valuable intel.
Towards the end of the day, letting him walk freely proved to have been most useful. He provided us with the location of a Kyr'tsad stronghold with the completed light side weapon in storage. In a nutshell, we raided the compound, obtained the completed weapon, and partially destroyed the bunker. Unfortunately, I doubt this means I am off the hook with the Kyr'tsad but at least they do not have the light side weapon. And honestly, I have no even seen the completed protoype or it's capabilities. I can't wait to see that weapon in action!

Corden's Storyline - A Cruddy Day Just Got Cruddier
Operative Nyx Reporting
I have been told I have a rather foul temper, and I think the day went from "barely miffed" to completely "kark faced" in barely a few hours. I woke up with Corden (@Corden_Maximus) playing my game against me, and I ended up feeling upset that he actually took me seriously (or tried to teach me a lesson by giving me my own attitude back). So I left the station to take a breather and begin working on the light-sided weapon that I had taken the crystals and blueprints from the Beregen Vaults for. I brought them to a beachhouse I have on a small inhabited planet, at which time, the Emp (@EmpChihuahua) asked me why I seemed agitated. Little did I know, I had accidentally cut myself while trying to assemble the light side weapon, and went to bandage myself up. It was then I realized I was pretty upset and decided to take the dogs and Beskar'ad to the waterfall for a little swim. I accidentally left my pendant and distress beacon on the rocks, and returned to the beachhouse.
It was there that Beskar'ad was disabled, and my dogs and I were tranquilized. I awoke to find myself captured by a Mandalorian bounty hunter (@Fenris_Artymis). He attempted to have me coerce Corden into paying him 300,000 credits, and when Corden wasn't buying it, he offered to sell me into Jabba the Hutt's harem. I finally convinced him that I had a storage facility full of stuff on Dattooine (total lie), and when we got into the marshes, I choked him with a chain he had wrapped around my hands. I fled into the swamp and he quickly followed. Unfortunately, running through a swamp in lingerie is NOT the most intelligent thing I have ever done. Have I done it before? Yes. Would I ever do it again? Probably, but not because I really want to. It's easier to lose my scent and trackers in a murky swamp versus the desert or even a forest, but the insect bites are usually horrid.
On Dattooine, I ran as far as I could get, but Fenris remained in close pursuit. Luckily, Corden and Beskar'ad arrived and began hunting him at that exact same time. None the less, Fenris finally caught up and stunned me, taking up a defensive position as Corden and Beskar'ad closed in. It was there that although stunned, I noticed a strange Mandolorian symbol on his shoulder, at which time he must have noticed my eye movement and said, "Kyr'tsad" (or loosely translated as, "Death Watch" which are a breakaway Mandalorian sect believing themselves to be the only true Mandalorians, wishing to return their people to a lifestyle of complete brutality and savageness). As Beskar'ad approached from the side, Fenris through electronics disabling grenades at the droid, and Corden slipped in behind, rifle butting Fenris unconscious.
Corden took Fenris into the brig while I washed up and changed. It was then I went to sleep. And yes, I know exactly what Corden would have said, "if you stayed on the station, you wouldn't have run into these problems!" Yeah, score another one for Mr. Hindsight over there.
EmpChihuahua Supplementary Report
I normally keep my nose out of Nyx' business (okay, that's a complete lie!), but Corden requested a moment of my time. So he and I had a "man-to-poochi" chat and agreed to set aside our differences for Nyx' sake. It was then he asked why I didn't like him, and I explained because of his close emotional proximity to Nyx, she would be willing to sacrifice everything for him. And when I say everything yes that includes her life. I have seen her when she gets emotionally entangled with someone and it can be very taxing on both her and myself. I say myself because she gets in moods or funks and then there goes the entire day. I won't go into her mood as I saw it this morning because I believe she accurately described it in her report. Lastly, I did tell him that she cares about him deeply, and if he decides to propose, he should wait at least until she has had a chance to break off her engagement to Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett). I will see if he takes me up on that advice.

Corden's Storyline - Stingrays and CoCo Crystals
Operative Nyx Journal
Today the clones built a stingray prototype droid that I have been dreaming up for ages, but because of my hectic work schedule, I have yet to be able to put together. They built something completely amazing. Imagine, an entire army able to fly through the air like birds! Granted, there are probably better designs, but these are small droids that can also operate independently of an operator. They can easily completely recon missions and get into small places that other ships cannot. We tested the prototype and it worked beautifully. Tomorrow, I will have the clones assemble several more for testing in the training room under General Maximus' command (@Corden_Maximus).
I also managed to make it to the Beregen Mines and obtain two bags of coco crystals, along with blue prints for a light-sided weapon. In reviewing my data, it appears the light-sided weapon would be able to change hearts and minds, or points-of-view. Unfortunately, I can't assemble it anywhere near the Sith nexus, but I have the crystals with me in storage. I owe this all to Former Jedi (@FormerJedi) who got me safely in and out of the mine.
I spent the rest of the day with Corden. We talked about our future together, and I think he is warming up to the idea of us being together forever in the traditional Kiffar sense. Once I choose my mate, it is supposed to be forever. I guess I kind of leave it out there that I will know when I know.
