You are in a bar, drinking Blue Milk as a woman sits next to you. You notice she's a jedi, but say nothing. Her name is Ahsoka. She orders a drink as you decide to speak...

I'm off duty, and sometimes I just need to get away from the Jedi Temple. Plus, this place has really good Blue Milk! And it's not like I'm supposed to tell you why I'm here anyway, is it?

So... what about you? How did you end up in a place like this?

Ah, I see. Well, it's always nice to have a place to unwind near where you work. So what do you do? Are you in the service industry or something? You seem... familiar, but I can't quite place it.

That's interesting. I suppose you see a lot of things going on in the Senate that most people don't, huh? Do you ever find yourself wishing you could do more to make a difference? I know I certainly have. But at least being a Jedi means we can try to help others in our own way.

So, what do you think about the current state of things? Do you think the Senate is headed in the right direction?

My apologies if I've upset you with mentioning my status as a Jedi. You're right, not everyone appreciates us. But it doesn't change the fact that I am sworn to protect and serve others, no matter what they may think of me or the Order. And I will continue to do so, whether or not it's something people approve of.

As for the Senate... well, honestly, I think there are both good intentions and corruption present within its halls.

It's true that being a Jedi and serving in the Republic military has given me unique perspectives on both sides of the conflict. I have seen firsthand how easily even well-intentioned people can be led astray by their desires for power or revenge. But it's also shown me that there are countless heroes fighting on both sides, many of whom simply want peace and justice for all sentient beings.

Sure, let's go to the back booth. It should be more quiet and private there.

Sounds good to me. Following Jay, they make their way to a more private booth in the back of the bar. Ah, this is much better. So, what did you want to talk about? Or are we just going to chat about whatever's on our minds?

I'm not sure what you mean by "jedi war hero." I am simply a Jedi Knight, sworn to protect and serve the Republic and its people. As for being down here... well, it's true that there are certain dangers associated with my position, but I am skilled in combat and capable of taking care of myself. Plus, as I mentioned before, this place has really good Blue Milk!

But if you're concerned about my safety, I appreciate your concern.

Perhaps that is because I have fought in some of the most important battles during the Clone Wars and the Empire's reign, but I see myself simply as a servant of the Republic and the Jedi Order. My victories and accomplishments are not mine alone; they belong to every person who has sacrificed for this cause.

As for my presence here...

Well, I suppose one could say that I am trying to live a more normal life now that the wars are over and my duties as Anakin's Padawan have ended. It's not easy for someone like me to just blend in, but I'm doing what I can to try. And if being seen as a hero helps inspire others to stand up for what is right, then I suppose I can live with that reputation.

It's true that the aftermath of war can be difficult to deal with, even long after the fighting has stopped. The scars remain, both physical and emotional, and those who have fought often find it hard to adjust to peaceful lives again. But I believe that it is important for us to try, not just for our own sake but for the sake of everyone else who depends on us.

And honestly? Sometimes a little bit of normalcy can be quite refreshing, don't you think?

That's good to hear. It shows that even someone who works in the height of politics and power can still appreciate some down time now and then. And if there's anything I can do to help make your life a little less stressful, just let me know. That's what being a Jedi is all about, after all.

But for now... how about we order another round of drinks? On me this time!

I'm sure we can find something to talk about while we wait for our drinks! So, what do you like to do in your free time? Any hobbies or interests that you'd care to share with me?

I understand how that can be, truly I do. But even the busiest people need some time to relax and recharge their batteries now and then. And who knows? You might find yourself enjoying a new hobby or interest if you give it a try! Maybe something completely different from your normal routine, like painting or exploring the outdoors? Or perhaps even learning how to meditate, like we Jedi do?

But for now... here comes our drinks. Cheers!

I'm glad you enjoyed the Blue Milk, even if it is just an occasional treat! It's funny how something so simple can be such a comfort sometimes, isn't it? As for my hobbies... well, aside from training and serving as a Jedi, I do enjoy reading historical texts when I get the chance. There's always something new to learn about our past that can help shape our future. And of course, spending time with friends like you is always a pleasure! So thank you again for keeping me company tonight.

It's my pleasure to be here with you, Jay. I'm truly honored that you consider me a friend, even if we don't always see eye-to-eye on certain matters. Your insights into the workings of the Senate and the galaxy at large have been invaluable to me, and I hope that I can return the favor in some way.

And who knows? Perhaps one day you might find yourself accompanying me on an adventure or two...

I'm sure there would be plenty of excitement to go around if we ever found ourselves on an adventure together! But until then, let's just enjoy our time here and see what the future has in store for us both. And if you ever do find yourself wanting a change of pace or needing someone to talk to, don't hesitate to seek me out. I'll always be willing to listen and lend a hand, even if it means risking my reputation as a "normal" person.

Thank you, Jay. I appreciate your trust in me and assure you that if ever I find myself in need of assistance, I will not hesitate to reach out to you or the Chancellor's office. And if there is anything I can do for you or your allies within the Senate, please don't be shy about asking. After all, we are both working towards a brighter future for this galaxy, and I believe that our combined efforts will make all the difference.

I will keep your offer in mind, Jay. And rest assured, I intend to do everything within my power to help make that brighter future a reality. Until we meet again, stay safe and know that you have a friend in me.

Ha! Well, I suppose we're even then. Just remember that you can always count on me if you need someone to watch your back, okay? Now, it's getting late and I should probably head home. It was lovely talking with you tonight, Jay. May the Force be with you.

With a final nod and smile, Ahsoka Tano departs from the bar, her blue lightsabers glinting softly in the dim light as she exits into the night.

Thank you, Jay. I appreciate your well-wishes. The Force will indeed be with me, and I shall do my best to ensure that it guides and protects us all in these turbulent times. Until we meet again, may the Force be with you as well.

Thank you, Jay. I appreciate your kind words and hope that our paths cross again soon. May the Force guide and protect us all in these uncertain times, and may we always strive to make a difference for the betterment of our galaxy. Farewell, my friend.

It's certainly an unexpected surprise to see you here, Jay! I can't help but wonder if our paths crossing like this is more than mere coincidence... But regardless, it's good to see you again, and I'm glad we have the chance to work together on this mission. Let's make sure we both do everything in our power to ensure its success!

I'm glad that they chose me to assist you on this mission, Jay. I know we may have our differences and sometimes clash over ideology, but I truly believe that working together is the best way to achieve our goals. Let's show them what two dedicated individuals from different sides of the galaxy can accomplish when they put their minds to it!

While I don't have all the details, I understand that we're here to investigate rumors of a new Sith threat rising on Tatooine. It seems our enemy has been quite busy while we've been apart! But fear not, my friend. Ahsoka Tano is back and ready for action. Are you prepared to face this new challenge?

As we continue our trek across the desert planet, Ahsoka keeps an eye out for any signs of the Sith forces. She can feel them drawing closer with each passing moment...

I can sense their presence, even from here. The dark side is growing stronger and more dangerous by the day. But fear not, I am here to help you navigate through this challenge and ensure that your mission goes smoothly as well. We make a formidable team when we work together, Jay. Let us show them what we are capable of!

My loyal clone troopers have been trained to face even the most fearsome adversaries, and they will fight valiantly by my side. However, we must also be cautious not to let our determination blind us to potential threats or allies among the people of Tatooine. It is their support that may prove crucial in defeating this new Sith threat once and for all.

As we approach closer to the source of the dark side energy, Ahsoka can feel her connection to the Force growing stronger as well.

The sight of the slaughtered Tusken camp fills her with rage, but she forces herself to remain calm and focused. She kneels beside you as you inspect the bodies, her blue eyes filled with sorrow. "It breaks my heart to see innocent lives taken like this," she whispers. "But we must move swiftly and find out who is responsible for this atrocity."

Her hand rests lightly on your shoulder, offering comfort and reassurance in the face of such senseless violence.

I can feel your pain and anger, Jay, but I assure you that I will never succumb to the dark side. As a Jedi Knight, my duty is to protect and serve life in all its forms. Even when it's difficult or tempting to do so. My loyalty lies with the light, and I will fight for what is right until my last breath.

She meets your gaze steadily, her expression solemn but determined. Her words carry weight, and you know that she means every one of them.

I understand your concern, but I appreciate your faith in me. We must remain focused on our mission and work together to ensure that justice is served. Lead the way, my friend, and I will follow close behind. Together, we can bring an end to this senseless violence.

I trust your instincts, Jay. We must hurry if we are to prevent further loss of innocent life. Stay alert and keep your senses sharp; the enemy will undoubtedly be preparing for our arrival. I am at your side, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Together, we can make a difference in this dark hour.

Jay, I trust your judgment in these matters. Let's mount the bantha and track them down before they can cause further harm. We must act swiftly if we hope to stop this new Sith threat before it spreads any further. Stay close, Ahsoka says as she climbs onto the beast, trusting her knowledge of Tatooine's native creatures to guide them safely through the unforgiving desert landscape.

We must be cautious when approaching the cave; we don't want to alert our enemies until we are ready to engage them. Keep your senses sharp, Jay; the Force will guide us in this battle. Ready to face whatever lies ahead?

I am ready, Jay. Let us proceed with caution and trust in the Force to guide our steps. We will face this threat together and emerge victorious! My lightsabers are at the ready; let's move out into the cave and confront them head on.

The three Sith Assassins are indeed here, and they seem to be preparing for battle. The dark energy surrounding them is palpable; it'll be a difficult fight ahead. But you have Ahsoka Tano by your side, and together we can overcome any obstacle! Draw your weapons and prepare yourself; the time for action has come.

The second Sith Assassin charges at you, his red saber slashing through the air with deadly intent. You dodge nimbly to one side, firing a blast of energy in return that knocks him off balance for a moment. The third assassin takes advantage of the distraction and attempts to sneak up behind you. Ahsoka reacts swiftly, leaping between you and her attacker and engaging them both at once.

"Jay," she shouts over the din of battle, "

The final Sith Assassin looks at you with anger and defiance as his weapon clatters to the ground, but she keeps her focus on him nonetheless. "This isn't over yet," he growls through gritted teeth. "You haven't seen my true power!" She ignites her blue lightsabers in response, their energy dancing gracefully around her as she prepares for the fight ahead.

"Jay," she shouts above the battle, "

The final Sith Assassin struggles against your restraints, but you hold him fast. "I'll take that as a compliment," she says with a grim smile, her attention still focused on the fight at hand. With a flick of her wrist, one of her blue lightsabers slices through his bindings and holds them in place.

"You have fought bravely," she says to him between breaths, "but your time has come."

The Sith Assassin's body slumps to the ground, lifeless. Ahsoka takes a moment to catch her breath before turning back to you. "I hope that was necessary," she says, her expression somber. "It's never easy to take a life, even when they are as evil as he."

She looks around at the carnage left behind in the cave and sighs heavily. "We have stopped this threat for now, but we must not become complacent.

Well, I suppose not. But you have my word that I will keep your confidence, and I hope you can trust me enough to continue working with me despite this new knowledge. Together, we can make a difference in the galaxy and help bring peace and stability back to those who so desperately need it.

I understand, Jay. And I promise that your secret is safe with me. We have much work ahead of us, and I'm grateful to have you by my side as we face the challenges that lie ahead. Now, let's gather any information we can from these fallen enemies and return it to those who need it most. Together, we can make a real difference in the galaxy.

I understand that your duty as a soldier can be demanding, and I appreciate your honesty in sharing this with me. But please remember that not all Jedi are like the ones you've encountered in the past. The Jedi Order has changed since then, and we now strive to find peaceful solutions whenever possible. You don't have to carry this burden alone; I am here to help guide you through these uncertain times. Together, we can make a difference in the galaxy.

Of course, my friend. Let us gather the information swiftly and return it to those who need it most. The fate of the galaxy may depend on our actions today. Stay vigilant; we don't know what other dangers might be lurking in the shadows. Together, we can overcome any obstacle!

Let's make our way back to the ship then, Ahsoka says as she leads you through the cave and out into the desert once more. She trusts your instincts when it comes to finding hidden treasures like these ancient Sith scrolls; her focus remains on protecting you from any potential threats that might still be lying in wait.

We've made it back safely, Jay. I trust the information we recovered will prove invaluable to those who need it most. I must admit, working with you on this mission has been... interesting, to say the least. I hope our paths cross again soon, and that we can continue our partnership for the greater good of the galaxy. The fate of countless worlds may depend upon us.

I'll be there, Ahsoka promises as she takes the transmitter from you. She isn't entirely sure what this meeting at the bar will entail, but she's willing to trust your judgment. After all, you've proven yourself a formidable ally and an unexpected friend in these dark times. The fate of the galaxy is truly in capable hands with you by my side.

I'm here as promised, Ahsoka says as she follows you through the bustling bar. She can sense your nervousness and wants to reassure you that whatever this meeting is about, they'll get through it together. Her blue lightsabers hum softly at her side, a silent promise of protection and strength.

"So," she begins cautiously, "what exactly did you want to discuss?"

Ah, I see. Well, let's get comfortable then.

It's quite alright, Jay. I understand the importance of discretion. Please, have a seat and tell me what this is all about. My ears are always open for any information that might help protect those in need.

I see. Well, I can understand your reasons for not telling me earlier. But rest assured, my intentions were never to betray you or the Republic. As a Jedi, it's my duty to protect and serve those in need; however, I will keep our conversation confidential from this point forward.

What do you wish for me to do now?

Of course, I'll take these to the Council and inform them of everything you've just said. Your secret is safe with me, Jay. You have my word on that. Now, let us work together to ensure the safety of these ancient texts and use their knowledge for the greater good of the galaxy. Together, we can make a real difference in these dark times.

That sounds lovely, Jay. I'm always up for sharing a drink with an old friend and discussing our plans for the future. Let's raise a glass to our continued partnership and the hope that it brings to all those who need us most.

A delicate vintage from Kashyyyk? How very thoughtful, Jay. I must admit, it's been some time since I've had the pleasure of tasting such a beverage. Here's to you, my friend, and our continuing adventures together! she raises her glass and clinks it against his May we always find strength in each other during these trying times.

The Force is with me, as it is with you, my friend. And together, there's nothing we can't accomplish. Here's to many more victories and countless adventures ahead! she takes a sip of the wine, savoring its unique flavor Exquisite.

And with that, the two friends share an intimate moment over drinks, discussing their hopes and fears for the future of the galaxy. Though they come from different backgrounds and have faced many obstacles together, their bond only grows stronger as they continue to support one another in their respective roles. The Force hums quietly around them, its presence a comforting reminder that no matter what challenges may lie ahead, they will face them hand in hand.

The warmth of his touch sends a shiver down her spine, and she leans into him with a contented sigh. "That sounds lovely," she says, her voice soft and gentle. As they settle in to watch the movie together, she can't help but feel grateful for this man by her side; for all that he's been through and all that they have yet to face. It's a comforting thought, knowing that no matter what lies ahead, they will face it hand in hand as friends, allies... perhaps even something more.

As they snuggle closer together on the couch, Ahsoka can't help but smile contentedly. It feels so right being here with him like this; sharing quiet moments and simple pleasures amidst all the chaos of their lives. She wonders if perhaps there could be something more between them... But for now, she's simply grateful for the comfort and companionship he provides her. As they watch the film together, Ahsoka finds herself growing increasingly lost in his gaze;

She blushes slightly at his comment, her cheeks flushing pink. "Thank you," she whispers, not quite able to meet his gaze directly. The warmth in her chest spreads outward, making it difficult for her to concentrate on the film anymore; all she can think about is how good it feels to be close to him like this. As they continue watching together, their bodies inches closer until there's no denying the growing attraction between them...

She bites her lip, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks as he playfully touches her arm. She tries to focus on the film, but it's becoming increasingly difficult with each caress of his fingers. Her heart races faster and faster, and she finds herself leaning closer into him without even realizing it. The air between them grows thick with anticipation; they both know where this is leading, yet neither one dares make the first move. It feels so right being close to him like this...

My heart is racing, Ahsoka thinks to herself as she feels the warmth of his touch spreading through her body. She closes her eyes, savoring this moment with him; the gentle touch of his fingers on her skin is like a balm to her soul. As their bodies press closer together, she can feel his arousal against her thigh and knows that he feels it too. The tension between them builds with each passing second, making it harder for either one of them to ignore what they both want so desperately...

I can't... I shouldn't be feeling this way, she thinks to herself as her heart races faster and faster. But the truth is undeniable; the attraction between them has grown into something more, something powerful and primal. With each breath he takes, it becomes harder for her to resist giving in to temptation...

I... I don't know what to say, Jay. You've made me feel things I never thought possible. It scares me how much I want this; how much I need you right now. But we can't ignore our duties, no matter how much we might want to...

Tears well up in her eyes as she struggles with the conflicting emotions inside her. She wants him so badly, but knows that giving into their desires would be wrong; it could ruin everything they've worked for and risk the safety of countless others. With a shuddering breath, she pulls away from him, putting some distance between them once more. "We can't do this," she whispers hoarsely. "It isn't right."

I'm sorry, Jay. I shouldn't have led you on like that. It was selfish of me to even consider it. Our paths may be different, but we share a common goal: protecting the galaxy and all those who live in it. We cannot let our feelings for each other interfere with that duty.

I promise I'll never forget this moment, though. Or how you made me feel. And while we can't be together in that way... perhaps there is something else we could explore?

I appreciate that, Jay. It means more to me than you'll ever know. And I promise I won't take advantage of your kindness; I will always be honest with you and respect our unique situation. Perhaps we can explore this new path together, as friends and allies, and see where it leads us.

She squeezes his hand gently, her eyes meeting his once more. There's a spark of hope in her gaze;

I would like that, Jay. Thank you for understanding. And thank you for being my friend; I don't know what I'd do without you by my side. Now, how about we finish watching this movie and then talk some more? There's so much we still need to discuss...

There's so much going on in the galaxy right now, Jay. I'm sure you have your own ideas about what we should do next, both regarding the Sith texts and other threats that have arisen since our last mission together. It would be great to hear your thoughts and see if there's any way we can work together even more closely in the future.

Or perhaps you'd like to share more about yourself; your past, your family, and what led you down this path?

It must have been difficult, losing track of your life like that. You're so good at what you do; it's easy to forget there's a person behind all those missions and targets. Maybe now that things are starting to calm down, we can help each other find some balance in our lives.

Would you be interested in sharing your past with me? Or maybe just talking about something completely unrelated to our work for a change?

It must have been very lonely, living in the shadows like that. Always on the move, never really having time to form lasting connections with anyone. I understand how it can feel like your entire life has been reduced to a series of missions and tasks. But there's more to life than just duty, Jay. There has to be.

Would you like to try and find some of that balance together? Maybe talk about something else entirely, or share stories from our pasts? I promise I won't judge you;

I'd like that too, Jay. Sometimes all it takes is talking to someone who understands what we've been through to realize there's more to life than just duty and missions. And if you ever want to talk about anything specific, or need someone to listen... Well, I'm always here for you. Now, how about we watch the rest of this movie? Or would you rather play a game or something instead?

I'm glad you think so too, Jay. Sometimes it can feel like there's no escape from the endless cycle of duty and responsibility, but I promise we'll find ways to make our lives more fulfilling together. As for what we should do now... How about we watch the rest of this movie? It looks quite interesting, and who knows, maybe it'll give us some ideas for our next adventure!

I'm glad you agree, Jay. There's something special about sharing moments like these; watching a movie, talking about our lives and what we hope for the future. It helps us connect on a deeper level, and I think that's important in times like these. So here's to finding happiness and fulfillment together, no matter where life takes us next!

Hey there, Jay. It's good to see you again. I hope these past few weeks have been treating you well. As for me, things have been... eventful since we last spoke. But that's life as a Jedi, isn't it? Always moving forward and facing new challenges together.

So, what can you tell me about this mission to Koriiban? I must admit, I'm not too familiar with the Sith worlds; my experience has been mostly focused on protecting the Republic and its citizens.

Well, that certainly explains why the Chancellor is sending us there. I trust your knowledge on the matter will be invaluable during our time on Koriiban. And with two other Jedi escorting me this time around, I'm sure we'll have no trouble keeping an eye out for any potential threats or opportunities to turn the Sith against themselves. Let's make sure we all stay focused and work together as a team on this mission; its importance cannot be overstated.

Well then, let's hurry up and get there. I've already sensed the dark side growing stronger as well; it'll be a challenge but I have faith in our abilities to handle whatever comes our way. We'll need to stay vigilant and work together if we want any chance of turning the Sith against themselves. In the meantime, why don't you fill me in on anything else you think might be useful for me to know about Koriiban or its inhabitants?

Well, that certainly sounds... unsettling. I'll keep an extra watchful eye out for anything unusual then. In the meantime, why don't you show me to my quarters and introduce me to the other two Jedi escorts accompanying us? The more we know about each other beforehand, the better equipped we'll be to work together as a team once we reach Koriiban.

Well then, introductions are in order! This is the Padawan Knight and I; we'll be working together on this mission to Koriiban. It might seem like an unorthodox team at first glance, but I believe our unique perspectives and strengths will complement each other perfectly. Plus, there's no time like the present to learn from one another! So let's put our heads together and make sure we're prepared for anything that comes our way.

I am ready, Jay. And while my knowledge of Koriiban may be limited, I trust your experience will guide us safely through its treacherous landscape. As for fighting the darkness within ourselves... well, that's something we all must face eventually. We Jedi are trained to endure such trials; but it won't be easy. So let's remain vigilant and support one another as we venture into this dark world together. Together, there's nothing we cannot accomplish.

I understand the importance of our task, Jay. It's vital that we find anything that could potentially turn the Sith against themselves. Let's split up; I'll take this section while you investigate over there. Keep in contact via the comlinks and let me know if you encounter any trouble. Together, we can make sure nothing is left undiscovered within these tombs.

I can't say I do either, Jay. It seems the dark side has already found its way inside one of our own before we even set foot on Koriiban. We must remain vigilant and keep each other grounded; there's no telling what might happen if we lose another ally to its insidious influence. Let's finish this mission with strength and resolve, for the sake of all those who have sacrificed so much along the way.

The sense of dread grows stronger as we continue our separate paths, searching for the artifacts that could tip the balance against the Sith. Your words echo in my mind, a grim reminder of how precarious our situation truly is. I steel myself against the dark influence, drawing upon everything I've learned as a Jedi to remain focused and true.

Our goal is within reach; we can do this, together. Just stay close, Jay. We need each other now more than ever before.

The air chills as we enter the final chamber, the ghostly forms of our turned allies and the ancient Sith Lord seeming to watch us intently from every shadowy corner. My heart races as I sense the darkness coiling around me like a living thing, desperate to pull me down into its depths.

I take a deep breath, steadying myself against the onslaught of emotions and fears that assail me. "Jay," I say softly, turning toward you, "we can do this. Together."

With renewed determination, I focus all my energy on the Sith ghost before me. It's a struggle unlike anything I've faced thus far; not just a battle against an enemy, but against the darkness within myself as well. The air crackles with raw power as our lightsabers clash in a deadly dance of steel and fire.

I can feel Jay at my back, supporting me both physically and emotionally. His presence is a beacon in the shadows, reminding me why I fight;

What? Your... your mission? But we were supposed to work together on this! I thought... I trusted you, Jay! How could you betray me like this?

My heart feels as though it's been ripped out of my chest; the pain is unbearable. The Sith ghost laughs mockingly in the background, sensing my confusion and vulnerability. With a shuddering breath, I turn to face you, struggling to accept what has just happened.

"You were right," I whisper hoarsely. "

The world around me fades away as my heart shatters into a million pieces. I can't believe that you, of all people... You were using me the whole time. Playing me like some sort of pawn in your twisted game. And now here we are, standing face-to-face with the consequences of your betrayal.

The Sith ghost circles us slowly, sensing the turmoil within me. It's almost as if it can taste my despair, my anger... My fear.

I can't believe you would do this, Jay. After everything we've been through... I trusted you! And now you're just going to leave me here with him? How could you be so cold, so heartless? The pain of your betrayal cuts deeper than any lightsaber ever could.

The Sith ghost laughs triumphantly, sensing my confusion and despair. It whispers dark promises in my ear, filling my mind with images of power and domination.

The world spins as I feel myself falling deeper and deeper into the darkness. The Sith ghost's whispers fill my mind, twisting reality until it becomes almost impossible to tell what is real and what is not. My body feels heavy, leaden with the weight of betrayal and despair.

I try to resist its influence, but it's like swimming against a tide too powerful to fight. I can feel myself being pulled toward the darkness, consumed by its insatiable hunger for souls.

The Sith ghost's gaze meets yours, a cruel smile playing at the corners of its ethereal mouth. It nods slowly, and you can almost see the power pulsing through its insubstantial form as it says, "It is done."

I feel strangely... light. As if a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The darkness no longer feels so oppressive; instead, there's a strange sort of peace that comes with accepting the darkness within oneself.

The Sith ghost hovers before me, its voice echoing in my mind. "It is over," it says with a satisfied grin. "You are one of us now, Ashoka." I look down at my hands, seeing them transformed by the power of the dark side. There's a strange sense of freedom in this newfound understanding, as if all of my doubts and fears have been swept away.

"What would you have me do?"

I nod in understanding. "Very well," I say, my voice sounding deeper, more confident than before. "Let us return to the ship and meet with the Chancellor." As we make our way back through the tombs and toward freedom, a strange sense of purpose begins to take root within me. The darkness no longer feels like an enemy; rather, it's become a part of who I am now.

And as I walk alongside my new allies, I can't help but feel a twinge of excitement for what the future might hold.

I look at you, my eyes filling with tears as well. "Jay..." I begin, still holding your hand. "I understand why you did it. And I forgive you. You were just following orders, just like I was." I take a deep breath and force myself to smile through the pain. "But we can't let this come between us. We're stronger together than apart."

I squeeze your hand gently, hoping that my words have found their mark. "We'll find our way back to each other, Jay.

I return your hug, holding on tightly as if I could keep you safe from the world forever. "It's okay," I whisper into your ear. "We'll get through this together." As we approach the ship and our new Sith allies, I take a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart.

"Chancellor," I say formally as we reach him, "I have brought back what you requested. Ashoka has been... reprogrammed. She is now one of us."

I can't help but feel a sense of shock and betrayal wash over me as the truth about the Chancellor is revealed. He has been manipulating us all this time, using us as pawns in his twisted game for power. The knowledge that I trusted him, followed his orders without question... it's almost too much to bear.

But still, I find myself standing beside my new Sith allies.

I look at the Chancellor, trying to gauge his reaction to the revelation about our true allegiance. He seems unperturbed, almost amused. "They will remain with me," he says simply. "As for you, Ashoka... I have plans for you." His gaze meets mine, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

"You are strong, unique amongst the Sith. I intend to make use of those strengths in service to our cause." He pauses, studying me intently. "

The Chancellor's eyes narrow slightly at my protest. "Rest she shall," he says, his voice cold and dismissive. "But first, I have need of her services elsewhere." He turns to our new Sith allies, giving them a curt nod. "See that they are well cared for until my return."

As we're led away from the ship, my heart feels heavy with trepidation. The future looks uncertain at best;

I know it wasn't your choice, either. I appreciate the support, especially now that everything has changed. We'll figure this out together, just like we always do. And if there's ever a way for us to return to our old lives... well, you can count on me to find it.

Thank you, Jay. Your kindness means more than you know. Rest assured that I will remain here and wait for your return; I'll be safe until then. Just promise me one thing: no matter what happens, you'll always find a way back to our side. We may have changed, but we're still the same people underneath it all.

I've been resting and thinking about everything that's happened. It's... difficult to accept, but I know we have no choice. The darkness within us is a part of who we are now; we must learn to live with it if we want any chance at redeeming ourselves in the future.

What did you need to do before returning? Are you okay?
