Darth Saph's comlink beeps, and the Sith Lady answers it, "What is it, Captain Pellaeon?", in her Sith Lady voice.
"Milady, I noticed an... abnormal communication pattern from Admiral Ozzel. He appears to have been communicating with your Sith Master, and Palpatine seems to know you are plotting against him." Kriff the Admiral! I never should have kept him. I knew he would do this, as I had just 'dealt with' the last spy, which turned out to be a TIE pilot.
"I am pleased that you informed me, Captain. Who did you swear your loyalties to? The Emperor, or the Empire." His next few answers will inform me if I will let him live.
"Milady, I swore my loyalties to the Empire. Not to the Emperor. Then when I joined Death Squadron, I swore my loyalties to you, milady. I grew up in the Outer Rim, and despise the Emperor for some of his... Core-centrist policies, which killed my parents." Good. He will live for now.
"What are your beliefs on Human High Culture, Captain? It's not wise to lie to a Force-user, and I will know if you are lying." Darth Saph was almost spitting that culture's name, as it was well known of her contempt for it, as she was nonhuman herself. The Captain had seen many instances where she had killed men for lying to her. He will tell the truth.
"I know that nonhumans can do just as well as humans. I don't like it, and have never had. I served with you in the Clone Wars, back after my friend, Hallena Devis, ended up needing extraction." Why does today have to be the day my Captain mentions the mission we did years ago?
"I remember. I've swapped outfits since then." Good thing I'm wearing my cloak with this, or I'd be sensing his poorly hidden displeasure from the other end of the Huntress.
"You've improved a lot since then, milady." He will live.
"I will 'deal with' Admiral Ozzel. You did well." I like loyal smart people. He will be my new Admiral, that is, after I 'deal with' Ozzel.
Ahsoka walks to her shuttle and tells the stormtroopers to load the supplies that she had ordered for her castle.
She then heads to the detention block and says, "Anakin, come with me." Leia is a little scared, but not crying, as she knows Ahsoka is only part Sith after a long explanation by her father, and after what Ahsoka's done to her lately. Anakin comes with Ahsoka, after Ahsoka puts him in binders and dumps him in one of the cells on the shuttle. Ahsoka returns and asks Leia "Are you sure you can walk, ad'ika?"
"Not real far, Ah... Ahsoka." Leia knew some Mando'a from serving with clones and her mother teaching her the language. Her mother, Padme, had learned it on a diplomatic mission with the late Duchess Satine.
Ahsoka grabs some of the blankets and wraps Leia up in a bundle and picks her up, saying, "I'll just use a Force illusion to hide you. Both Jedi and Sith use them, so don't worry." Leia ends up in the hidden detention area on the shuttle, in back, behind the galley and training rooms.
A few minutes later, cockpit of shuttle
Ahsoka sits in the black cockpit, her hands on the controls, just like Skyguy had taught her.
"You're cleared for departure, milady." The new ComScan officer saying this really doesn't want to be force-chocked, so he says this as quick as he can, so he can run away to try to not get killed.
She steers the shuttle on down to her castle, named Bast Castle. The large black castle looms out of the stormy world that is Vjun. She lands on the main pad, then checks in with the captain in charge of it, Captain Kinall, and orders the troopers to get the supplies unloaded. She checks to make sure the rooms are set up for Leia and Anakin, then brings them to their room before retreating to her quarters to mediate.
Author's Note: Read the Barrissoka fanfic The Erosion of the Spirit by 425599167 on Ao3. It's 328k words, but it gave me the idea to have our favorite Togruta (sorry Shaak Ti fans) study Revan and be !gray, not !dark. The mission with Pellaeon is Clone Wars: Wild Space.
No, I'm not writing Darth Saph|Ahsoka Tano/Pellaeon, before anyone asks.
Guess why the pendant is a broken chain. Hint: It's got to do with the Sith. Check out my fan art to see the outfit.
