No Rest for the Galaxy

When Vector Hyllus told me in a cold, chilly cavern on Hoth, "Storybook characters raid pirate bases. Now, so do we." I wanted to tell him that I think we would give those characters a run for their money for the things we have been through.

2. Entry Two, X70B Phantom

DAY TWO, X-70B Phantom

I have left Dromund Kaas, for hopefully a long while. Such a dreary planet, I'll admit. It's either raining or brutally muggy. The humidity is terrible, also. I do hope to not return there for some time. Currently Kaliyo and I are setting course for Balmorra, which is currently a war zone. Sounds delightful, doesn't it? At least I will be away from those petulant Sith, or at least those of the Dark Council, for a short time.

I suppose I should briefly explain. My business is drawing me away from Dromund Kaas, and with it an escape from the petty squabbles between the Sith and the Imperial Intelligence. I refuse to be a plaything of the Sith. But now for the most part, we should be away from that for now. Instead, I am following a series of terrorist cells who function beneath "the Eagle." This terrorist cell destroyed an Imperial star cruiser carrying the Sith I mentioned before, Darth Jadus, as well as several thousand civilians. I am of course more upset about the loss of innocent life. I know for a fact that Darth Jadus is not innocent. Ontop of this, I am now unfortunately serving under Darth Jadus' living daughter (a petulant, annoying little woman who enjoys killing for sport, then again what Sith doesn't?).

Kaliyo is still Kaliyo, unfortunately. I don't execute much authority over her, for there really isn't much to do with that ticking bomb waiting to explode. I'll keep her happy for now. Perhaps let her think that we are partners. I trust no one, and I especially do not trust her. Today in fact she mentioned something about her own personal troubles. I have enough of that already! I don't need someone elses' troubles, on top of my own.

And then there's the new protocol droid, 2V-R8. A gift from Keeper, apparently. I am even suspicious of Keeper. And that bloody, annoying liaison, what's her codename? Oh yeah. Watcher Two. I'm sick of her. Keeper is more bearable, but that Watcher is just… I do not like her. Also so damned serious. Not even a faint smile. Not that I am asking for levity in serious manners, but she needs to work on her people skills! And her hair is absolutely horrendous!

Anyways, my droid has just alerted me that we are to be landing soon in Sobrik.

Cipher Nine out.
