Ronderu limped back to the Vengeance. She was bloody and wounded, and altogether sick. She had thrown up after killing Dooku. That killing had been disturbing to Ronderu.
Kiel ran up to Ronderu, and gave her a hug. "You're alive! You've killed the Sith!" She cried. Then Kiel noticed the long, gaping wound on her friend's leg. "Come on board," She said. "Let's clean that up."
Ronderu nodded. "Dooku is dead," She muttered. "Have you heard anything from Jalaen or Qymaen?"
"Nothing," Kiel replied. "Though hope remains."
A holographic image of Shaak Ti greeted Kiel and Ronderu. "Kiel, Ronderu! It's good to see you alive," Shaak Ti said enthusiastically. "When Radame told me about the plot you guys have been meddling with, I was very worried."
"Hey, Shaakie, it's good to see you too," Ronderu responded. "We've killed Count Dooku."
"Splendid!" Shaak Ti answered. "Kiel, do you know where my Padawan lightsaber is?"
Kiel looked sheepish. "I gave it to Ronderu," She admitted. "Do you have it?"
"It is a little bashed up," Ronderu held up the weapon. "But it should be fixable."
"Where are you?" Kiel asked.
"We're coming down," Shaak Ti answered. "It's just me and Ki-Adi."
"Why didn't you wait for me?" Shaak Ti asked as Ki-Adi helped Ronderu clean and stitch up the wound.
"We had to go when the Sith wanted us to," Ronderu answered. "Otherwise, they would have known that we had jumped the gun."
"How did you manage to kill the Sith?" Ki-Adi asked. "I thought that you would be squished with ease."
"We de-lightsabered each other, and I defeated him with my lig swords," Ronderu stated proudly. "It was a struggle, though."
A blue image of Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared. "I request immediate evac from Kalee," he said "I have Sheelal and Yamaen, but I have a starfighter and it can't hold all the the Kaleesh. We're approaching Shrupak."
"We'll take off shortly," Ronderu assured.
