Carth didn't get a very peaceful night's sleep. If he wasn't aching all over he might have gone for a walk, to clear his head, but instead he had to force himself into a restless sleep.

The next morning Carth was woken by an energetic Mission bouncing on his bed.

"Get up, get up, GET UP!!" she shouted.

Carth pulled himself up off the bed and faced Mission, "You are such a child!" he said grumpily.

Mission looked angry at first, but then laughed, "Good morning to you too, you old grouch!" and with that she skipped off, probably to wake Atton up the same way she had woken him. Carth smiled at the thought.

Once cleaned up and presentable, Carth made his way over to the lab station to find Mission in a very interesting conversation with a Mandalorian and Atton slumped in a chair with a very annoyed expression plastered on his face.

"Mission bounce on your bed too?" Carth asked sitting down opposite him.

Atton nodded grimly and replied, "I'm not a morning person."

Despite himself, Carth laughed, causing Atton to fight back a smile.

Just as the three were enjoying their caffa, Canderous walked in, "Morning," he said curtly before sitting down, "Our two crew members are on their way. Should be here within the hour."

Carth looked up at him, "How did you manage to persuade them to come here? They don't remember anything."

Canderous sighed, "I'd rather not get into that…"

"You kidnapped them!" Mission gasped.

"I wouldn't call it kidnapped…" Canderous retorted, "After we tell them everything, if they still don't wanna come, then I'll bring them back.

"Who exactly are 'they'?" Atton yawned.

Canderous looked over in his direction and snorted, "A Zabrak and a bounty hunter."

"Nice find." Carth commented sarcastically.

"Hey!" snapped Canderous, "These two, were in the recent crew of the Ebon Hawk. I didn't just pick them off the streets y'know!"

"OK, sorry…" replied Carth quietly.

They finished their caffa in silence and were just finished when one Mandalorian ran into the station, "Mandalore! They're here."

The ship came in, and Carth was impressed by its graceful landing. The loading ramp opened, a Zabrak and a red-haired female came down.

"Mandalore, I presume." The Zabrak said calmly upon making his way over.

"That is right. I am Mandalore leader-"

"Oh save it!" Mission rolled her eyes. Carth snorted and Atton grinned. This seemed to amuse the Zabrak, and he temporarily relaxed.

Mission turned to face the Zabrak, "Hi! I'm Mission Vao!" she held out her hand. The Zabrak looked at her for a moment before reluctantly shaking it.

"My name is Bao Dur."

"I know." She replied simply.

Bao Dur nodded in understanding, "Very well, Mission. Would you care to explain why I was kidnapped by Mandalorians, only to come to their base and be greeted by a fine young Twi'lek?"

"I'd also like to know why I was captured…" came the woman's voice from behind Bao Dur.

Mission looked over at the red-haired woman and screamed, "Mira!"

Mira looked over at her, confused at first, then shocked, "Mish!"

Mission ran over to the woman and hugged her. "I can't believe it's you!"

Carth coughed just loud enough to get everyone's attention, "Mission, you know this woman?"

Mission smiled at Carth and nodded, "Yeah, she stayed on Taris for a short while. We were close."

"I thought you were a goner when Taris went! How did you get away?" Mira asked in amazement.

"Actually, these guys helped," she gestured to Canderous and Carth, "But that's a long story, for later."

Bao Dur nodded, "I see this story probably has something to do with our being brought here."

"Nothing gets past him." Atton said sarcastically. This caused both Bao Dur and Mira to look over at him.

Atton looked over at the two of them for the first time, and suddenly felt lightheaded. Images of them, flashes of conversations, battles, jokes, arguments and more from the past all came flooding into Atton's mind.

He saw Mira in the storage compartment of the Ebon Hawk and Bao Dur in the garage doing repairs. He saw Mandalore in the main hold, T3-M4 rolling around, HK-47 threatening him, Visas meditating in her room, Mical in the med bay acting all perfect… and her, Kreia in her dorm.

He remembered her trying to twist Izzy's mind. Turn her to the dark side. He remembered her threats to him, his hate for her. He remembered Izzy having to kill her in the end, and himself pulling her away from the collapsing planet of Malachor V. He could remember it all, all except Izzy.

Her personality stood out in his mind, but not her face nor her voice. He could not describe her, but he knew then that he loved her.

He knew then how this mission affected him.

Atton awoke in the med bay. He slowly forced himself to sit up. He looked across the room. Carth was sitting on a chair not too far from his bed. Atton made a sudden noise and Carth looked up.

"You're awake." He grinned, "How do you feel?"

Atton groaned, "Like a herd of Rancor trounced on my head, and yourself?" he added the last bit sarcastically.

Carth chuckled, "Can't complain," he walked over to Atton's bedside and handed Atton a glass of water, "So… do you remember anything?"

Atton almost chocked on his drink, "How would you-"

"Mira and Bao Dur woke up earlier and say they remember everything." Carth explained simply.

Atton breathed a silent 'oh' and sat back, "Yeah, I remember stuff."

Carth snorted, " 'stuff?' "

"Well," Atton sighed, "I don't know if I remember everything, but I remember a lot."

Carth nodded. Then there was a short silence before he asked, "Do you remember Izzy?"

Atton didn't have to say anything, Carth could tell by the expression on his face he couldn't remember her, "I can't put a face to her." Atton said in frustration.

Carth nodded, "Don't worry about it, neither could Mira or Bao Dur."

Atton sighed, "Yeah, alright."

Carth smiled, "Alright, let's get to the briefing then."

"Briefing?"

"Yeah. Mira and Bao Dur want to help us find Revan and Izzy." He paused, "We're… leaving, tonight."

Atton jumped up out of the bed, "Seriously?"

"Seriously."

Atton smiled, "Alright, let's go to the briefing!"

There was an unusually calm feeling in the room now that everyone knew what was happening. Mira and Bao Dur had just been told of Master Egan's plans to take over the Sith empire.

"Alright, so where should we start looking once we're in unknown space?" Canderous asked over the buzzing of the other crewmembers.

"I Think we should go to Deralia," Carth replied.

"Why do you think that, Onasi?" asked Atton.

Carth sighed and looked down at the ground, "Because, before she left, Revan talked about visiting Deralia. She wanted to know more about herself, her homeworld," he looked towards the crew, "I think it's a good place to start."

"Her home planet… maybe someone there saw her come through!" Mission thought out loud.

Canderous nodded in agreement, "So it's settled. We're going to search for Revan, assuming the Exile is with her."

"I think it's the best chance we've got." Mira commented. This left a sick feeling in Carth's stomach, 'That's the best chance we've got.'

Canderous spoke over them once more, "Alright, I've gotten my men to put a cloaking device on the Hawk. It should last until we're too far for the Republic's sensors to detect us, but we're going to have to leave sooner than expected."

"How much sooner?" Carth asked expectantly.

"Oh…" Canderous looked down at his datapad, "Now."

The crew stared in shock for a moment before scrambling to their feet and preparing to leave immediately.

They ran out toward the hangar where the Ebon Hawk was docked. Canderous led, closely followed by Atton, Bao Dur, Mira, Mission and Carth at the young Twi'lek's heels.

Once in the Hawk, Carth and Atton ran up to the cockpit. Carth took the pilot's chair while Atton took co-pilot's without complaint. Atton was able to admit who was the better man in situations like this.

"Hurry up!" Canderous cried, "Republic fleets do spot checks in this sector every hour. We have to just slip past them before they get here!"

"Alright Canderous! I think I can pilot this ship by now. Make sure Mission's strapped in!" Carth called back. Atton had to admire how protective Carth was over the young Twi'lek.

The Ebon Hawk got off the ground smoothly and was out of Dxun's atmosphere extraordinarily fast. Carth was working the controls faster than Atton had ever seen. 'No wonder he so well known!' he thought to himself.

"Watch out!" came Canderous' voice over the commlink, "Republic fleet just ahead! You're gonna have to hit hyperspace faster than expected!"

"No problem." Carth replied, preparing for hyperspace.

"But, the hyperdrive's temper mental! If you punch it now, it will probably die out!" Atton warned.

Carth smiled, "Don't worry, Rand." He said before turning to the commlink, "Canderous, I need you to shut off all turbo thrusters until I give the all clear, alright?"

"What?!" Atton shouted, "No! You'll get us killed, or at least noticed!"

Carth sighed, "Rand! Relax, alright! I've done this before with ships ten times this size!"

"Turbo thrusters off." Came Canderous' voice.

Carth went to start up the hyperdrive, "Alright Canderous…" He flicked the switch for hyperspace, but nothing happened. Atton stared in horror at Carth, who looked very calm; "Go!" he shouted down the comm.

Once Canderous turned on the turbo thrusters they immediately entered hyperspace.

Carth grinned, Atton sat there in shock, "I can't believe that worked…" he whispered.

Carth smiled over at him, "You'll come to realize, Rand, that I'm full of surprises."
