"Who are you?" Director Krennic asks, as he aims his blaster at Jyn Erso. Jyn stares at the man for a few seconds, feeling great hatred for him.
"I am Darth Thana, lord of the sith, and adopted daughter of Emperor Palpatine! The Emperor is most displeased with you for your incompetence, and that is why Governor Tarkin now commands our battle station!" Jyn answers.
"Lady Thana? I didn't recognize you without the mask and robes. What are you doing here, with the rebels?" Krennic asks.
"I am on an undercover mission to infiltrate the rebellion! I have learned where their base is, and I have deliberately given them the Death Star plans, according to the wishes of the Emperor!" Jyn answers.
"I apologize, milady. I beg your forgiveness!" Krennic pleads.
"Spare me, Krennic! I am not exactly the forgiving type!" Jyn shouts, as she calls upon the force to choke the director.
"Mercy…" Krennic manages to say with difficulty, as he grabs his throat.
"Mercy is for the weak! You will die for your transgressions, former director!" Jyn says, as she promptly snaps Krennic's neck, killing him. Several seconds later, Cassian Andor appears, wounded and limping, as well as completely oblivious to what just happened.
"It seems like you have things under control here." Cassian says.
"Indeed. We are done here. It's time to leave." Jyn says.
"Leave? How? We have no ship! If we took a TIE fighter, the rebels might shoot it down!" Cassian says.
"No need to concern yourself, since you will be staying here." Jyn says.
"Staying? What are you talking about? What's going on Jyn?" Cassian asks.
"My mission is now complete. I have no further need for the rebellion." Jyn answers.
"So, you are leaving. You won't stay, and help us fight?" Cassian asks.
"Help you fight? Ha! Why would I do such a foolish thing as betray my father?" Jyn asks.
"Father? Your father is dead, Jyn. How could you possibly betray him?" Cassian asks.
"I speak of Emperor Palpatine, my true father, the one who raised me from the age of four! Galen Erso means nothing to me!" Jyn answers.
"The Emperor? You're an Imperial spy!" Cassian says, as he aims his blaster at Jyn. The weapon immediately flies out of his hand, and into Jyn's.
"My dear captain, I am no spy! I am Darth Thana, adopted daughter of the Emperor, and princess of the Galactic Empire! I infiltrated your pathetic rebellion to learn its secrets! My task is now complete, and there is no longer a reason for you to remain alive!" Jyn says, as she uses the force to levitate Cassian several inches into the air.
"You're Darth Thana? So, it was all an act? You being in prison? Insisting we come here? You didn't count on us actually succeeding, did you?" Cassian asks.
"In fact, we did, captain. The rebellion has the Death Star plans, which is what my father intended all along. Yes, your rebels now have the plans, and will perhaps discover the weakness in the Death Star's design, but we will destroy them before they can act! I know where your base is! This rebellion will be crushed!" Jyn says.
"You are insane! I trusted you, and so did the alliance! You played all of us!" Cassian shouts.
"I learned from the best! Now, it's time to meet your end, Andor!" Jyn floats Cassian over the edge of the Scarif facility, so that he now hovers several hundred feet above the surface. Jyn smiles, and says "Can you fly, captain? Let's find out!"
Jyn releases her hold on Cassian, and he falls to his death. She notices the Death Star is now in orbit of Scarif, and walks to the body of Krennic. She takes his comlink, and presses a few buttons.
"Governor Tarkin, come in!" Jyn says into the comlink.
"Lady Thana?" Tarkin asks over the comlink.
"Indeed, governor. I am at the transmission dish of the Scarif facility. Send my shuttle to pick me up!" Jyn says.
"Yes, milady." Tarkin says.
Jyn waits by the transmission dish of the Scarif facility for a few minutes until her modified shuttle arrives. The shuttle hovers nearby, and the boarding ramp lowers. Jyn uses the force to jump onto the ramp, and enters the shuttle.
Jyn enters the cockpit of her shuttle, which is being piloted by a black and red astromech droid.
"R6, proceed to the Death Star at once!" Jyn commands.
/Yes, master./ R6D6 answers.
Jyn exits the cockpit, and goes into the small commander's cabin nearby. She abandons her rebel outfit in favor of a black and red armored outfit with a hooded cape, and a mask covering her face. She clips a lightsaber to her belt, and returns to the cockpit.
"Status, R6?" Jyn asks, in a distorted voice.
/We are approaching the Death Star. The Rebels do not seem to have detected us./ R6 answers.
"Very good." Jyn says.
The shuttle lands in its assigned bay, and Jyn exits the shuttle. She is greeted by a few officers, and several stormtroopers lined up in honor guard formation. One of the officers, General Tagge, approaches her.
"Welcome back, Lady Thana. You honor us with your presence." Tagge says.
"What is the current status of this battle station?" Jyn asks.
"Governor Tarkin is preparing to test fire the weapon, milady." Tagge answers.
"Very good. His intended target?" Jyn asks.
"The Scarif installation. He feels that it is best to destroy the facility rather than allow the rebels to acquire any intelligence that might compromise the Empire." Tagge answers.
"I agree. That is why I recommended that the Emperor remove that blundering fool Krennic, and appoint Governor Tarkin to command this station. I will now join the governor on the bridge, and observe this weapon in action." Jyn says. She exits the launch bay, followed by Tagge.
Jyn enters the bridge, and approaches Governor Tarkin.
"Lady Thana." Tarkin says.
"Governor Tarkin. I hear that you intend to test this fire this station. I would like to see it for myself." Jyn says.
"Of course." Tarkin says.
"Governor, ready to target the rebel fleet?" An officer asks.
"No. Lord Vader will deal with the rebel fleet. Target Scarif base, single reactor ignition. You may fire when ready."
The Death Star's main weapon is charged, and fires a powerful beam at the Scarif facility, destroying it, as well as everything surrounding it, including every person on the surface, both rebel and Imperial.
"Impressive. The emperor will be pleased. Perhaps he will allow you to use this weapon on the rebel base." Jyn says.
"You know where it is?" Tarkin asks.
"Indeed I do, but I must inform the Emperor first." Jyn answers.
"Understood, milady. The rebel base will be an easy target. I have no doubt that the Emperor will approve a direct assault using this battle station." Tarkin says.
"Soon, the rebels will trouble us no more. Vader will intercept the vessel with the Death Star plans, and perhaps capture someone vital to the rebellion, as we anticipate." Jyn says.
"Then, let us hope that Vader completes this task with his usual efficiency." Tarkin says.
"Indeed, governor. Now, I must contact the Emperor." Jyn says.
"Very well, milady. I will send a status report to the Emperor as soon as we are finished here." Tarkin says.
"Very good." Jyn says, as she turns away from Tarkin, and exits the bridge.
Jyn returns to her shuttle, and enters her cabin. She takes off her mask, approaches a small holotable, and activates it. A hologram of Emperor Palpatine appears. Jyn kneels on one knee.
"Rise, my child." Palpatine says. Jyn stands up.
"I have completed my mission, father." Jyn says.
"As i knew you would. What do you have to report?" Palpatine asks.
"The rebel base is on Yavin 4, and it appears to be their only base. The rebellion is led by Senator Bail Organa, and Senator Mon Mothma." Jyn says.
"I have suspected Organa's involvement for some time. Of course, we were already aware of Mon Mothma's treachery. Now, regarding the Death Star plans?" Palpatine asks.
"The rebels have them, as you intended. Lord Vader is pursuing the ship that the plans were transmitted to." Jyn says.
"Good. Everything is going as planned. Did you encounter any jedi?" Palpatine asks.
"No. It would appear that there are none left that are with the rebellion. I suspect that it is only a matter of time before more jedi emerge. It's unfortunate that the inquisitors proved to be so incompetent. Perhaps it is time for me to hunt them down myself." Jyn says.
"I appreciate your enthusiasm, my dear, but I have need of you elsewhere. Return to me at once." Palpatine says.
"Yes, father." Jyn says. The hologram of Palpatine vanishes, and Jyn puts her mask back on. She reactivates the holotable, and a hologram of Governor Tarkin appears.
"Lady Thana." Tarkin says.
"Governor, The rebels are located on Yavin 4. It is the base from which their fleet was deployed." Jyn says.
"Yavin? Rather remote. I will deal with them soon enough. Hopefully the Emperor approves a full power test firing of this station. The rebellion will be crushed in a single blast!" Tarkin says.
"Indeed, governor. I am confident that the Emperor will approve. In the meantime, I must take my leave of you, and return to Coruscant." Jyn says.
"Very well, milady." Tarkin says. He nods briefly, then his hologram vanishes.
