Piett's Storyline - Counseling, my "Padawan" and Battle Droids

Operative Nyx Reporting

Admiral Piett (@Admiral_Piett) and I reached our breaking point in that we realized our relationship was going to quickly deteriorate without professional intervention.  His pulling away continued to trigger my withdrawl symptoms, and I continued to withdraw which lead him to pulling away even further.  This cycle was continuing to happen and if it went on indefinitely, would have lead to us eventually moving so far apart that we would have separated.  Neither of us desired separation, and thus we turned to the only source we could think of, which was the mental health counseling wing located within the Executor. 

It was here that we met the counselor (@Valadhiel_) who worked with each of us and then together as a couple on our issues.  It wasn't until we began talking that I realized how lacking our communication style was.  For some reason, I felt more comfortable talking to everyone else but Firmus, and he seemed more comfortable buring his head in work versus approaching me.  Our relationship was truly in a dark spot.  With Val's help, we learned to accept each other's shortcomings, and work through the ones that we could together as a team.  Since we began counseling, I have yet to "run away" as Firmus states it, and he has not withdrawn to the extent that he had in the past.  I know we are not perfect, but it is comforting to have him here with me in this way.

My Jedi student, Faylene Skystorm (@Faylene_Skystrm), and I have just began the initial phases of training.  I feel horrible that he and I have not been able to spend much time together in training, but I hope to do so soon.  I guess this is why in the past, Jedi Masters would only take one student at a time because training a student in the proper fashion can be very time-consuming.  But it is indeed an honor to be his "master," although I despise that term entirely.

Lastly, I have found an unused workshop that I have taken on as my second home aboard the Executor.  Being a secretary to Admiral Piett has its moments, but I find the work tedious.  Luckily, Firmus has granted me verbal permission to use the facilty as my battle droid workroom which will allow me to keep my mind from wandering too far.  Field testing the battle droids has been quite fun, actually.  And luckily, my sidekick and Twi'lek associate Oola (@Slave_Oola) has returned and is ready to help.  I can't want to show her the ropes as well!
