The Dark Academy on Korriban

He continued through the night. He didn't feel that he had gotten quite enough. But as the night wore on he knew he'd be really damned tired the next day. It sucked, but it was his mission.

Observational Data 3, D9 LN, Astrogation, Easy: 1eA+1eP+1eD 1 failure, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph

He was tired. He thought he got the data. He must have gotten it. A supernova was something pretty spectacular right? And he had been collecting for hours. This had to be everything because Zeno was too awesome to fail.

With everything all packaged up, and organized in his datapad. He encrypted the data with standard encryption and sent it on it's way home. With it was a message that would give her the password that he set for it. "Where did G recently make his greatest contribution to the Empire?" The password was the coordinates used to get to the site of the ritual. He didn't know how sensitive the data was to her but he figured better safe than sorry.

Then he left. He was going to be tired tomorrow.

OOC: Spending Destiny to have accidentally got exactly what she needed somewhere among his data collection attempts.

“Apprentice, I have reviewed your findings,” Zash appears on the comm.

"I trust they are acceptable master?" he replies.

“I was going to lecture you on basic astronomy until I saw the Supernova, it made me refocus on that section of space. I calibrated it for what the sky would have looked like in Hazzan’s time, the holocrons have a great deal of data on this subject and I found our next target.”

“When you return do not get comfortable we leave for Dantooine in Republic space,” she says.

"Of course, Lord Zash," he says. His mood is definitely off from his tone. Has been every time she talked to him.

“Good, now explain to me what troubles you, my Apprentice, I felt your torment from here,” she says calmly.

"I let feelings get the best of me. Betrayal and misdirection from someone trusted. I've gotten control of them with the aid of a comrade, though neither Moyr or Baesal. I am still considering options moving forward for how to handle it... I..." He thinks very hard about what to say next. He could betray Jun-Tsu for what she had put him through and reveal everything to Zash. Or he could forgive and try to move forward with her. He shakes his head.

"Betrayal deserves betrayal. I am done with her. Have you ever heard of the Void Engine..." He feels his rage build but keeps it in check as he explains the situation with Jun-Tsu to Lord Zash. Everything he knows.

“I have not herd of this device, but now I wish I had, and this child has it?” she says after listening.

"That was the plan. I cannot confirm it. I did not know the means or details, but if I see her alive and happy tomorrow I will assume she succeeded," he states. "Whatever that child will be... it will be powerful if it is born."

“Then we should see it born, this intrigues me,” she says with delight.

"Of course," he replies, not really sure how to feel about that. He admitted that the power of the thing was intriguing but he still despised the fact that he had been kept in the dark and betrayed.

“You will have your vengeance, you think we will let her raise the child? This child will need a proper Sith education,” she says deviously.

"Agreed," he replies. "But it will be on Korriz, well protected by the Farro."

"I will kill them all, if that is what it takes," she says calmly.

"Of course Lord Zash," he replies. There is no longer any doubt. Still rage completely contianed, but doubt is gone.
