Operative Nyx Reporting
My cyar'ika (Mandalorian word for "sweetheart") and welcomed the newest addition to Clan Maximus, our little girl Tifa (@Tifa_Maximus). She is completely beautiful, and the resemblance to us both is uncanny. She is the first born for both my husband, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), and myself. I have to say, a newborn is a lot of work, more so than I had expected. She doesn't sleep throughout the night so I am constantly waking up to tend to her. I am completely exhausted for the most part. Corden has offered to help watch her, but sometimes I don't think even that is enough. Regardless, she is my child and I love her dearly. Already I can tell she is a curious little thing, always looking around and watching everything around her. I programmed a droid to help in her daily care, but it still isn't enough. The little princess requires quite a bit of my time and even more so of my energy.
Corden, on the other hand, has been busy tending to the needs of the ship. I hardly see him in between his work and my tending to the baby. I hope this doesn't put a strain on our marriage. Maybe this is something I should talk to him about, maybe even making a date night. We haven't had one of those in months and I am starting to miss him dearly.
And so much rides on the little shoulders of Tifa. Her father expects her to be raised in the traditional Mandalorian ways where she will be tough, and yet I want her to be a little flower of a girl, just like I was. I want to give her the upbringing I had, full of priviledge and a life of only the best. I expect her father and I to clash on these differing parenting styles, of course. Regardless, he has hopes for her to be of high regard in the Maximus clan, even possibly taking over responsibilities of Mand'alor someday. I have hopes that she will someday fulfill my mission that I was unable to do, see the galaxy at peace and the Sith vanquished.
She is... our new hope.

Corden's Storyline: The Cyar'ika Returns - AGAIN!
Operative Nyx Reporting
He returned. My love, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), has returned to me! Dirtied with soot, a little tired, all four limbs still in tact, he came home. I don't know why he left, or what he was looking for, because I accidentally fell asleep in his arms while he was debriefing with Boss (@RC_boss) regarding his mission. All I know is that Corden is home and safe. This war against the Death Watch is eating him alive, it consumes his every thought it seems. I worry about him.
But I have other issues to tend to. I am nearing the end of my pregnancy and my body aches from head to toe, my feet are swollen, and I spend more and more time in bed. Luckily, Corden has been attentive, but he still spends a lot of time away on the bridge. I hope in the end, it was all worth it. I hope he found what he was looking for.

Corden's Storyline: The Missing Mandalorian
Operative Nyx Reporting
It has been a month and no one knows where or what my husband, Corden Maximus (@Corden_Maximus), is up to. All I know is I can't eat, sleep, or function. I have been a shell of a person wandering the halls of his dreadnaught. It is a large ship, 10,000 in crew alone. We have several friends that have joined our cause, Boss (@RC_Boss) is one of them. I support my husband 100%, but now in the final trimester of my pregnancy, he was no where to be found. I felt so lost, scared, and ultimately alone. I have been keeping to myself, as I fear that my presence tends to bring down the other crew when they see me. I ventured out of our quarters occasionally for food or tending to my secretarial duties, but nothing more. Corden meant the world to me, and although I know I am safe here on his ship, a part of me was taken away when he left. I don't know if he realized that. I don't know if he even cared.
What was he running from? Was it me? What was so important that he could not talk to me about it? Was he afraid I would not understand? Was he afraid I would not support his decisions? With a heavy heart, I am signing off.

Corden's Storyline: Kyr'tsad and the Attempted Abduction
Operative Nyx Reporting
It has been several months since this has happened, and I feared my journal was compromised and being monitored, thus I did not report this. However, I believe due to current circumstances, this is now warranted. The Kyr'tsad (@Kyrtsad), or Death Watch Mandos, sent a squad after me. Capturing me would be a trophy to them and a bargaining chip against my husband, Corden (@Corden_Maximus), in his war against the Death Watch. I was already several months pregnant with our child and alone in my bunker when the Kyr'tsad came knocking at my door. Or rather, they unexpectedly let themselves in.
I fled to the secret hangar in the back of my bunker and it was there I was confronted by a second team of their men. Figuring they would not let my ship take off, I decided to face them. The battle was fierce but the Death Watch are generally untrained and uncoordinated at best. I was able to use my doppleganger to escape and hold off their General Xenen Kaori.
I left that bunker for the last time. I sent a droid survey the damage and it appears they hacked into the security system and took over the bunker. Of all of my possessions in there, I felt bad about leaving my ancient text collection. I really did love that library and all of the books contained within. But I do have the memories, and I can easily make another bunker in another system. It was just that was the bunker I first took Corden too, and I had so many memories of he and I. I guess that is what I will take with me.

Corden's Storyline - The Meeting of the Same Mind
Operative Nyx Reporting
The day has finally come, and I will keep this brief. My clone, Raphi (@Seraphic_Phenyx), has discovered her true nature. She called me to a meeting aboard the same ship, the Dammarung, that I first discovered her in a sleeping state. I couldn't destroy her, because it is ingrained in me that I cannot destroy myself. When I detonated the bombs when Corden (@Corden_Maximus) and I were leaving the ship after killing my superior (who was attempting to kill me to copy my memories into Raphi's mind), I purposefully did not detonate the bombs near the glass cylinder holding her. I learned that she was taken to a different facility shortly after and made viable (activated), at which time to ensure her safety and my own, I allowed her to enter my mission while I slipped away with Corden. I had a feeling someday she would discover the truth about her origins, and I patiently awaited her arrival. In order to protect her until she is able to fully establish her identity within the Rebellion, I am staying away from all Rebel Alliance activities. I had thought that she would be safe under the careful eyes of the Imperials, but knowing my own rebellious nature, I am not surprised that she was unhappy aboard the Executor. I sincerely doubt anyone noticed she is no longer there, and a part of me is thankful she left because I know it was a slow and painful death to be among the enemy in such a way.
Operative Seraphim Reporting
I met her. I don't know what to call her. Is she my twin? My mother? My sister? Or simply just "she-that-which-my-DNA-came-from"? I do not know. None the less, we kept it brief. I had so many questions of her. Who am I? Where am I going? Why did she let me live? But she told me in time, the answers would come to me. I hate ambiguous answers like that. I really do. Something tells me she knows that. And feeling the child growing inside of her made me slightly angry. My life is collapsing all around me, and I am still in a state of grieving the loss of.. well... you know..., and here she is all happy. And these feelings I have towards Corden aren't mine, they are hers, but I feel them as if they were mine. So I guess I felt what is known as jealousy at her pregnancy, but I think since it has been a few days, I am kind of over it now. I am happy for them both. They are happy together so I won't hold it against them. It's hard being alone like this. Really hard. But she and I agreed to keep in touch over the comm lines. She didn't talk to me about what was on her mind, but I sensed a feeling of apprehension like she and the child were in danger. I might not know her, but dammit, I won't let anyone harm her or that child. I felt her deep inside of me, as I know she feels me as well. Because of our connection, I will be a silent guardian for her and that baby. Whatever future is in-store for the Mandalorians, I intend to help keep that child safe from whatever is hunting them.

Seraphim's Storyline - How to Remake a Personality
Operative Seraphim Reporting
I have been on intelligence missions lately and unable to report my findings, but Jedi Master Rush Kator (@RushKator) and I have been busy uncovering the Imperial's (and which I suspect are working under the direction of the Sith) latest venture - brainwashing their citizens. We infiltrated a small facility where the brainwashing was occurring. Master Kator is better than I at refraining from getting emotional, but, I could sense the pain and trauma in the air. We were unable to locate the citizens, but we gathered intelligence and left the facility unhurt.
What the data revealed was incredibly startling. Common street thugs and folk were taken away in the quiet of the night, their families and loved ones (if they had any) were never told what happened to them. The patients were then taken to covert remote locations where they were brainwashed. The Imperials intended to "remake the personality" of these "rebellious" individuals by instilling the following methodology:
The notes mention a few escapees. Some even say a few high-operating individuals were taken for military efforts. I do not know what that means, but I am sure it is nothing good for any of us.
Master Kator and I are investigating another operation occurring in the Outer Rim. We hope to find out more about these covert operations soon and report back to the Rebellion as soon as possible. I know it was not our designated mission, but if they can do this to their own citizens, could they not do it to a captured Rebel? And what if they unleashed this captured Rebel back into the Rebellion with its memory wiped? This is a future I hope to avoid.

- No sentient being contact: They cannot speak, touch, or hear other victims.

Corden's Storyline: Bye Bye Kyr'tsad, Enter Denahi Luxor
Operative Nyx Reporting (private journal)
It has been several days since Corden's (@Corden_Maximus) attack on a Kyr'tsad (Death Watch Mandalorian) safehouse. It is estimated that anywhere from 10 to 20 Kyr'tsad were killed. I was at home, sick to my stomach, but Corden informed me of what had happened. It appears there was a Kyr'tsad spy (@Kyr'tsad) that was attempting to become one of Corden's inner circle, whom Corden lured to the safehouse. With the help of Beskarad (@Beskarad - a Mandalorian Battle Droid that I programmed to be a "dog") and Corden's second-in-command (@RC_Boss), the safehouse was taken with no casualties. At the safehouse, the Kyr'tsad spy was confronted and disposed of. However, the spy did manage to transmit my bunker's coordinates to the Death Watch leader (@Denahi_Luxor) and his subordinates (@Slave_Oola). Corden realized I was in danger and quickly left the destroyed safehouse with Boss to extract me from my bunker.
In between vomiting sessions, I managed to make it to the vault where Corden located me. Placing me on top of Beskarad, he had me safely transported onto Boss' awaiting vessel. Unfortunately, Denahi showed up and managed to shoot a tranquilizer dart at me while I stood at the ship's door waiting for Corden. I do not remember much after that, only waking up at our home on Manda'yaim. But Corden told me that he and Denahi had a confrontation in which he lured the Kyr'tsad into my bunker and collapsed it. Neither of us know how many men Denahi lost (if any) in the bunker, but he made it back to Boss' awaiting vessel to which Boss told Corden the secret I had been hiding for weeks.
It was discovered in the med bay that I was pregnant.
Corden watched over me while I was tranquilized, and brought me to our home to recover. I guess he took a while to process that he will be a father, and took Beskarad for a ride around our home. I awoke and we spoke briefly about what had happened. I found out I was pregnant shortly before his return from the mission in which he declared himself Mand'alor and lost his leg. I couldn't bring myself to tell him then. I wanted to, but I could not. I guess I let my anger and frustration get in the way of the good news. And when I awoke the next day to tell him, he had already left for another mission. That's my Corden. Always chasing the next adventure, which meant I was left alone (as usual). But I didn't want for him to worry about me, so I kept it a secret until I could see him next. And then, he retrieved me and one thing lead to another, and it was Boss that revealed my pregnancy.
Corden will not leave my side anymore, knowing full well that Denahi and his men will hunt me down and use me as a target. This is what I had feared a long time ago. That my past as a Rebel spy would catch up to me and my children would be targets. Well, how much of my past Denahi knows, I am not aware. But it appears that by attempting to destroy the Kyr'tsad, Corden has made me and all of his friends targets of their wrath. Nearly every war monger knows that to destroy a man's most prized possession, his family, will devestate him inside. I stay near Corden now constantly, and with the morning sickness, sometimes I lose focus but I continue on. I know Corden will do everything in his power to keep me safe, and it is my duty to protect our child.
This child is my hope that someday, everything will be right in the galaxy.
