Nyeomi confronting all the memories, of who she was and who she is now, how even though she didn't experience them she remembers them so clearly, talk about confusing. Husband to be, they are so cute together. Yikes, her and Lanaka synched up, I would try and find a small shuttlecraft to follow the main ship in those 3 days each month. Meeting Torm's parents, interesting.
A family of nine, 7 kids, yikes. Bounty on them by the Hutts, boy, that is one species that can hold a grudge. Gambling and Nyeomi used the oldest distraction in the book, hot young woman in a skin-tight gown, nice. Silas that scary as a pilot if he can bring a twitch to Nyeomi's eye at the mention of a certain phrase related to trying to teach him. Tari is good as new, yay!
Dang, all those game stats and history translate to those kind real skills, already knew Nyeomi was badass, just not how much of one. Tari is so eager to learn as quickly as possible, she is almost forgetting to take the steps required unless Nyeomi points it. Replacing the crystals, always wondered why Sith light sabers were red.
Boy, Nyeomi is harder on herself than anyone else over what happened with Targon. She is a great teacher though, getting the point across about sparing life when possible. Proud not having to drawn their weapon, interesting philosophy. Wonder what color crystals Tari will have after this quest.
Interesting planet, sounds lovely, if only there was a painting or drawing of it. Ruins but the courtyard not reclaimed by nature, suspicious. A Temple of the Force, very interesting, how old could it be. Ah, one of those temples, I would be too curious not to go inside myself. Strange it is in English of all things, plus that doesn't bode well, either reveal mysteries together or remain entombed there forever.
The Force ghost of Darth Vannacen, hehehe, Tari reminding her of Nyeomi when she was her apprentice. Trying to change the path of the Sith, away from anger and hate to other forms of passion, even if she succeeds somehow will that form still be around in the far future of that universe. Whoa, a separate quest to obtain something to aid Nyeomi in her goal, things are getting very interesting.
Using a light saber for a light source, talk about a headache. Who or what has that Sith light saber. A floor of polished black marble, sounds slippery to me without the right footwear. Darth Mordra there, gloating about the revenge she will have, oh brother. Acting like she murdered her family back on Earth, saying she doesn't fear the police, still as arrogant as ever.
Attacking like a rabid animal, just mindless rage, this will be quick. The red king having no rage nor hate, only curiosity, how did the Sith drift so far from the original Sith race over the ages. Explaining all that, yet the red king, Tulak Hord, Lord of Hate, First Emperor of the Sith, ask how she can question his teachings, not going to be easy. I like the White King, he's silly.
Kel'eth Ur the Heretic, now she has to debate him as well. Never thought about peace that way before, interesting. The blessings of them both and holocrons from each, dang, now that is epic. And yellowish green Kyber Crystals for Tari, wasn't expecting that.
Very nice seeing Tari creating her light sabers, her enthusiasm is sometimes cute to watch. 3 hours of training, great endurance. Trying so hard to avoid a vision you end up causing it, that is the problem with precognition of any sort. You can see the incident, but not what leads up to it. Awww, poor Tari, not thinking she is worthy, guess even highly trained individuals can have insecurities.
Silas thinking his welcome is worn out, both Nyeomi and Tari feeling the tremor in the Force, now what. Blaster fire scorches and bars to the Aces and Eights hull, what happened while they were gone. Lanaka hurting but alive and it is a Sith Warrior, great, word already out of what Nyeomi is trying to do or this guy trying to collect the bounty on them from the Hutts.
Okay, this scum needs to die, going to kill Tari and her friends and won't even tell her way. Saying he is Nobody, oh brother. What kind of Sith Warrior was no Force shielding. At least with the way he attacks Nyeomi has figured out the kind of style he is using. *eyes bug out* Okay, what kind of crazy armor is he wearing that can survive a passing strike of a light saber. Warrior better than her, yikes.
Dang, destroyed his light saber with an impressive move and forced him to flee. And Tari stayed behind hidden on the ship, otherwise 'Nobody' might have found her. Lanaka in the medical bay and no stowaways, but where are Silas, Darius and Torm. Boy, 'Nobody' really got to Nyeomi for her to go all this.
Bacta tank and Lanaka awake and in a foul mood due to the pain. She is so freaked out she is suggesting they run far, far away, just who is this 'Nobody'. He said Nyeomi was going to be responsible for the destruction of the Sith. Darth Bane didn't start the Sith War, he was the last survivor, uh oh, not liking this turn of events at all.
Good grief, the Sith are a mess no matter how you look at it. The Will of the Sith has the guys and 'Nobody' is the Hand of the Sith, talk about pretentious names. I really hate smart villains, planting all those things on the Aces & Eights to destroy, cripple or spy on them. Advice from a Holocron, hold it can help change the future and prevent the Sith War. Grand Sith Order of Inquisition, just how old is this order.
Darth Vitiate the Mad has used them for over a thousand years, how to take on someone that old, powerful and informed on matters related to the Sith. Concentrate on her loved ones to master the power of the Dark Side. Darn it, not ready to take him on yet, nor for Kel'eth lessons, I would get frustrated the longer I knew my loved ones were in the hands of a madman.
Torturing them like that and making it worse when he knows Nyeomi is watching them through her dreams, monster doesn't seem harsh enough. Going to the med-bay and having Lanaka woken up, only for her to think trying to rescue the others is a bad idea because these guys are true evil, *sighs*, shows her true colors. Still bitching about why didn't he love her that fiercely, even though she left him, some people. Ord Mantell, now what is this planet like.
3 hours to get through the traffic down to the surface, yikes. Tari left behind in case they have been traced, girl is going to be piloting the Aces & Eights more than Silas at this rate. So would Ord Mantell be a wrecked hive of scum and villainy.
Knows a guy who knows a guy, yeah, I would have weapons ready in case of a double-cross or attempted ambush by Garvic Hammlin. Scantily clad [almost naked] Twi'lek females waiting tables, really hate Hutts for this.
Ouch, no better than slaves in this place with broken wills, poor Twi'lek females. Mantellian Savrip and it looks like he is looking for trouble, oh boy. This is Garvic Hammlin, ugh, really wish they didn't have to deal with him. And this is his place, okay, trying to hold down my lunch.
Ew, ew, ew, ew, 'play well' with others, I need brain bleach! *eyes bug out* The Twi'lek woman with him was his mistress and just pretending to be a slave, dang. Lanaka wouldn't do business with someone truly evil, boy, they have Nyeomi all confused. Needa, pretty name. Put an end to Twi'lek sex slavery and free their homeworld of Ryloth, whoa, I'm liking her more by the minute. Ah, there is the hitch, help her free people she cares about, she helps Nyeomi save those she cares about.
A bad situation made worse, Needa seems to not plan that well for when things go wrong. Oooo, nice outfit, love all the options that helmet has. A private compound for a customs agent to put his prisoners, sounding more and more like someone in power is backing him. 9 friendlies among 15 or more hostiles, even an 80s action star wouldn't risk that. Trying to reason with them and idiots trying to attack, one dead and they see reason, always think if they outnumber you they can take you.
Unconscious, boy, that must have been a slow acting knock-out gas. Thed halfway to town already, and behind the door a pair of Mark 1 War Droids, those things are a pain to deal with in the best of times. Darn, tries to take command of the droids but no longer property of Sith Empire, so much for easy. Now that is a badass way to deal with the droids. Plus the people the cells aren't about to disobey her after that display.
And they escape before the first responders alerted by Thed can arrive, nice.
Needa kissed the smuggler whose flirting with Nyeomi. Data film with coordinates to the Void, who or what is the Void. Almost sounds like a machine which evolved like unto a god from the way Needa talks about the Void. The Void told Needa all that, dang, just what all does it know.
Deep into Wild Space, yikes. Boy, for a dead guy Kel'eth can be a bit of a grump about following his advice instead of being stubborn. Kel'eth sure gives tall orders for Nyeomi, render a light saber useless but give false hope so the Hand won't run. Ooo, lessons in a new ability, can't wait to see it in action.
3 days to get an epic view, a gravity source like that of a planet, they are expected, the Void is.
good.
The Void was this moon.
A computer the size of the Death Star, now there is something impressive. A Gynoid automaton and it is the Void, okay. This machine is both epic and scary at the same time, to think such a thing exist in that universe but few know of it.
Hehe, no wine for Tari, only grape juice for now. The Void can do all that to their computer systems, helpful but scary to think about. Owing the Void a favor, plus stating in the exact terms as the God Father, can she detect things about them from their time on Earth too and is responding to Nyeomi in these terms due to that. At least the Void admits it isn't a god.
Akin to Old Yungus Road in Bolivia, why anyone would go into Wild Space if it is that treacherous is beyond me.
Exiting from hyperspace that close to Yavin, yikes! Ah, Yavin IV, interesting history of the place and its future. Wait, the Rebels base were old Sith temples, never knew that detail. 1 mile from the secret base and Tari gets co-pilot of the Aces & Eights duty again. Nice jungle camo outfit, just how many outfits does she have. Lanaka armored up and outfitted with an arsenal enough to take on a small army, guess she's taking no chances.
Dang, with a description like that is a wonder the Sith Interceptor design didn't get updated and used throughout the ages. Maria is very handy but is she the only robotic avatar the Void has I wonder. Oh boy, they only have 10 minutes until the bad Sith shows up to torture the prisoners more. Silas and Darius that beat up, these monsters must pay.
Okay, Silas and Darius freed of chains and with them now, Torm in Interrogation One, things just got more complicated. Dang, never seen Darius with that look in his eyes, what they've done to them is more than physical. Darth Nobody with light saber to Torm's throat, this monster is going down!
Whoa, disarm and pin to the wall, threat to a madman with a threat to kill Torm with a thought if she kills his Hand. Doom of the Sith, saying her face has haunted his dreams and visions long, wonder if she doesn't start the Sith War but changes the Sith so much they drop the name over time, his definition of doom isn't known. Tells him the truth and he rejects it, the Will of the Sith is insane.
On the lift and escaping as the floor explodes, only for the Hand to follow. Grenade to barrels of fuel, the Hand getting hit by that, if he survived that is some insane armor. Speeder not working, the Hand survived and is coming for them, security lockout on the speeder, no, I won't say it.
3rd degree burns on the left side of his face and he just ignores them, the Hand is driven by pure anger and hate at this point. What does it take to put this guy down? Epic fight, force push to wreck the track and send the Hand back towards the worst of the fire, have a feeling it will only slow him down.
In the speeder and rushing out of them, what has been done to Torm, Nyeomi will pay back with interest. F-T6, weird design. Yikes, blaster bolts don't do those justice, blaster wrecking balls are more like it. Using the Force to pull the ejection lever, priceless.
I shrugged. "The Force can have a strong influence, on the weak levered."
Well, that went better than I expected.
Torm awake in the bacta tank and watching Nyeomi sleep, so cute. Breakfast and Torm should be out, starting to wish something like bacta tanks existed in our world. For a machine, Maria aka The Void is very unusual. Ah, so there are other interfaces/robotic forms that the Void uses besides Maria. The part of her that is still Edward the Gamer from Earth yelling at her it's a trap, yes, but what kind of trap is yet to be seen.
Making love in hyperspace, Torm lead them on escape attempts and was punished for it, and dang Nyeomi, watch it or you two will start a family before you know it.
Back at Ruuria, meeting with Darth Marr. Whoa, sounds like they are planning a way to deal with the Will of the Sith and his organization once and for all. 6 months, all this in six months, that is a lot to take in in a short amount of time. Tari her daughter, in spirit, if not in body, adorable. All that data in one room, Darth Marr is meticulous. Impressive and scary armor as well.
He thinks her treatise is well thought out, yet he responds like that, *sighs* At least she is able to explain herself well. Submitting to his judgment, I was sweating bullets for a moment there. At least he isn't as stubborn as some other leaders would be. Released of her oaths and service to the empire, interesting turn of events.
"Go now to your own devices and may the Force be with you."
Sounds like, I can't back you but you are free to do as you wish now, go with my blessing.
Not the worst outcome, but far from the best, shaken, Tari worried if they are disgraced and Nyeomi having to explain it to her. Heavy burden doesn't begin to cover it. Tari with her through thick and thin, darn it, I want to see a drawing of Tari already.
A base on Barkhesh, perfect crossroads of the galaxy from the sounds of it and being local heroes never hurts. A nice place to raise a family, awww. Yeah, the Void may have helped them but the longer you work with it, the more you wonder what its long-term goals are and start to worry. Nyeomi spending time with the family, oh boy, that will be a fun conversation.
Ouch, long night for Nyeomi and Torm with her parents. No matter the species, I guess some things don't change.
Lanaka and Nyeomi need to work things out better than this, avoiding each other is going to backfire in the long-run. Even Silas getting a job, will wonders never cease. Galactic Holo Net equivalent of Youtube, oh boy. Wisdom of the New Sith channel, interesting way of spreading her word and the truth. Whoa, a lot of information to digest there, wonder how many will be drawn in.
1 week, 1k followers, 1 month 5 million, dang. And the Hand of Fate, of course, comes calling, take him together, please don't let Tari die. Ouch, bad start for our girls, brutal fighter. Now it is one-on-one, Nyeomi vs the Hand, going well until a child darts out and forces her to change directions. Tari back in the fight, deflecting the attack on Nyeomi and kicking the Hand's mask so hard he is staggered and it comes out. Yikes, scarred and burned face, guess no bacta tank could help enough.
Ouch, elbow to the nose for poor Tari, Nyeomi distracted because they fought all the way to the Temple of the Whills and disarmed of one light saber. Disarmed of her other lightsaber, about to be struck down, she uses Kel'eth's teaching to...block the light saber with the palms of her hands! Tari finishes him off with a blow from behind through the heart, epic finish. Poor Tari, first life she has taken and crying.
Aww, had to shave some fur off her nose for the brace to fix it. That move may be epic, but suffering burns on her hands for it, yeah, only use as last resort. Great, battle is headline news for half the galaxy and rumor mill fodder for the other half, more people gunning for her. Seesh, reporters, it doesn't matter which universe you are.
Master Creel, like he is trying to start something. An assault on the Inescapable Fortress, Silas at least knows more about the possible number of Sith there, Inquisitors, hate those guys. Goody goody, even Creel agrees to have Jedi there to help with the Sith. Hope this works out for the best.
Boy, where do you get a dress like that. Ah, a vision from the Force, guessing something like a wedding of her and Torm. Poor Tari, so broken up by killing the Hand of the Sith, especially the way she did it, hope it gets better for her. Getting Tari to see all those things, plus the love Nyeomi has for Torm, Captain Silas and her. If only more people who think killing should be easy could hear this, so many things happen which I wish could happen in our world.
Squadron patch of the Black Sheep, with that motto, badass. Nice ships. Colonel Antilles, Captain Mayric Motti, fun guys. A neural interface for Force Users, interesting. Torm, Silas and Darius going with the troops because they want some payback, *sighs* Slapped on the rear by Torm and loving it, lol. And the 'Force Interface' is a lot more impressive than first thought.
A week to cross the galaxy, now that is awesome. Wish we could get space travel that fast within my lifetime.
Yavin IV, all our fighters and yet two dozen fighters coming up that fast from the moon, please let this not be a bad sign for our side. Interesting way to describe a battle in space. Damn it, it's a trap! Large dreadnoughts carrying a hundred fighters each, this is bad. Ugh, the Defiant fled leaving the Valiant to try and shield the fighters so they can jump to hyperspace. The Valiant taken down, The shuttle carrying Torm and the others crashing into Yavin IV's jungle, while Nyeomi does as well, striking the ground and knowing no more.
No, no, no! Please tell me there will be a sequel, it can't end like that. After all they have been through, all they have learned and grown in their time here, only to die to an overwhelming force seems so wrong. It is a great story, love the growth each of them showed in the story from start to finish, including in dealing with the Hand of the Sith and Will of the Sith. Especially loved seeing Nyeomi and Tari interact with each other, like a mother and daughter. But please say this isn't the end.
