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!!!
