Chapter 242

.

Han and the other heroes found Hugh's group of former borg drones. Jacen it seemed was not the only non-borg here. There were others, some human, some aliens, none had visible cybernetic parts. Hugh and the others seemed to have retained borg implants, how or why was unclear. At any rate, Han found Jacen again.

.

Jacen: Hello father.

Han: Hello Jacen, it's good to see you again.

Jacen: Have you come to take me home?

Han: Yes, if that's what you want.

Jacen: I doubt that, certain people, want me back.

Han: Your mother has never stopped mourning you.

Jacen: Interesting, because she disowned me. I realize that I brought much of that on myself, but it would still be awkward to see Jaina again. I heard that there's another version of you.

Han: Makes me dissapointed, always thought I was one of a kind.

Jacen: And this other version, had a son, named Ben. And like me, he became evil, began calling himself Kylo Ren.

Han: What's your point?

Jacen: Maybe it's just destiny, that your son would follow the darkside. I am after all the grandson of Darth Vader.

Han: There's at least one world where Anakin never turned to the darkside. And Ben eventually found redemption.

Jacen: That's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to help Hugh and the others fight for their individuality. I can't leave here until that happens. However, there are some of us who are tired of the fight. I can't blame them, they wish to go with you to Antarctica.

Han: We'll take them with us. Can we at least keep in touch with you?

Jacen: I'd like that.

Han: And Jaina, would you be interested in talking with her? She's like to make amends with you.

Jacen: You mean for killing me?

Han: Please tell me there isn't something worse that that between you two.

Jacen: There isn't. I thought she said it was neccessary to end my evil.

Han: That doesn't mean she doesn't want to make amends.

Jacen: Very well father. If you can arrange it, I will speak with my sister.
