Chapter 9: True Lies
Official Information
Name: Leia Organa
Place of Origin: The Sovereign System of Alderaan
Occupation: Imperial Senator
Darth Vader scanned the report, most of the information at the beginning were those he already knew and so he bypassed those.
Blood Type: AB
Interesting, we have the same blood type...Vader thought. He resumed scanning the report.
He did not send Reinhard away this time, perhaps he could be useful in case any of the information should turn out unclear, after all it was the good doctor who extracted them,the Dark Lord silently congratulated Reinhard for a job well done...the amount of information gathered was quite wealthy for such a short time, Reinhard must have had to break several secured databases to access some of the files, but then why would the Princess' profile be included on the Restricted Access Level 5 Section of the Alderaani Database,of course she was a child of nobility...it must be for her own protection, but Bail Organa's own Case File was only Level 3, there must have been a mistake..but storing the information in that manner was tantamount to hiding it...Vader checked the names of those who had Authorized Access to Leia's file, he found only three, and somehow it did not shock the Dark Lord, the ring, the pendant...they were proof enough, weren't they?, but he had to be absolutely certain, the only persons authorized were: Obi-Wan Kenobi (status: missing, presumed deceased)...a twinge of sadness overcame him once again as he passed over Obi-Wan's name..., Bail Organa and....Padme Naberrie...Darth Vader uttered a small gasp, barely audible, even Doctor Reinhard did not hear it, which was probably a good thing as the young man seemed to be on the edge of either a breakdown or a dead faint, Vader's voice filled the chamber once more,"You may sit for the moment." as he indicated a chair in the far corner, Reinhard settled in uneasily, but Vader felt the young man's fear assume a lesser degree, which for some reason delighted the Sith Lord...back to business...my gut feelings were increasingly gaining proof then...he thought with satisfaction, for the first time in eighteen years, Anakin Skywalker felt very much like his old self, he even dared to hope once more, Padme's voice echoed in his mind...they were discussing the fate of the galaxy then and he was beginning to lose faith in the Republic's ability to bring order...an image flashed in his mind...Theed at sunrise... "We should never lose hope, when the night is at its darkest, bear in mind that dawn is just a few moments away." he could even remember how soft her eyes had been at that moment, how hopeful, how determined... and as his eyes came upon the words written in the next holograph...his suspicions were finally confirmed...
Birth Mother: Padme Naberrie (see attached profile)
Father: Anakin Skywalker (Jedi Knight, missing in action presumed deceased)
Birth Place: The Sovereign System of Naboo
So The Princess of Alderaan was indeed his and Padme's daughter...those very words seemed to drive a sharp wedge through his heart...it has been many years since he felt this way...not since...Padme...and on a slightly lesser degree...his very own mentor, father and friend...Obi-Wan. Anakin immersed himself completely on Palpatine's teachings...ignoring that gnawing doubt that had always been there from the beginning...a lone light that refused to be extinguished amidst the swirling darkness surrounding him, he thought those doubts to be gone with the destruction of the Jedi Order...somehow he needed their destruction as something akin to closure...more than restoring proper order was he need to "know" that he had been right to take the Dark path...that sacrificing his friends, brothers, even his wife, and ultimately his soul had been the wisest choice...a choice he paid for dearly...just when he thought the time of attonement had come to pass...He was overcome with mixed emotions...sadness, elation...apprehension, fear..., he started to pace around the chamber. The Dark Lord felt the young doctor's unease beginning to return...after all wouldn't it be distressing to see Darth Vader in such a mood, the youngling must assume himself to be a dead man walking...well there was a first time for everything..."You may now leave Doctor."...Anakin made his tone as unmenacing as possible...which once again startled the frightened young man...."The information you supplied had been most useful, i trust you not to tell anyone about this."..."Of-of course my Lord."...Doctor Reinhard made one courteous bow and headed for the sliding doors...with a hiss, the Sith Lord was once again alone.
At that moment Darth Vader, the most feared man in the known galaxy...excluding the Emperor, slayer of the Jedi Knights, seemed to temporarily step aside to be replaced by Anakin Skywalker, hero of the Clone Wars, husband to Padme Naberrie and most recently father to Leia Organa...he allowed himself to remember who he was, who he had been...the name...Anakin Skywalker...a name so forgotten...or thought to be forgotten by the man who owned it...a name so loved..so admired...became a name so reviled...so feared...images flashed in his memory, like a never-ending parade, images that saddened...his mother..."Ani, you're so handsome, so grown up...now i am complete..."...angered....Tatooine... "They live like animals, so i slaughtered them like animals!"...and made him happy..."I truly, deeply, love you..."..."Good call my young Padawan!"...Many windows on his mind aligned at that moment...he felt as if he had woken up after a long and troubled sleep...everything seemed clear...like it should have been...he saw it all...he blamed his frustrations and failures on the people around him...never giving them the chance to help him...especially his Master Obi-Wan...who had always been there for him...if only he made things clear...instead, he dismissed Obi-wan as a hindrance to his success...too much egocentrism..."Our mentors have a way of seeing our mistakes than we would like, that's the only way we grow.."...he could see that now...instead of recognizing his failures he turned to the Dark path...and then of course there was the matter with his "other" Master...Palpatine...of course partly it had been Anakin's very own choice...but it cannot be denied that some had been the old man's deceitful intentions and manipulations...as to what extent, he could not know how much...but he would...in time..."Rise, my friend, and fulfill your destiny."...a hateful smile...Yes this time he would fulfill his true destiny...he would make sure...there was a nagging uncertainty at the back of his mind, however...what if it was too late? what if all his efforts were in vain?...he brushed them aside...too much procastrination had cost him a lot...never again.
The Dark Lord gathered all the data pads, he decided to put them for safe keeping along with most of the Princess...his daughter's belongings......perhaps on Bast Castle where the Emperor's hand would not reach them...but he decided to return the Japor Snippet pendant...a first gesture of good will...from a father she may never know...maybe in the future...the gap was too wide, the chasm too deep...The Princess would most likely question her ideals or even lose hope...that he could not permit...he saw Padme's strength of character in her...the courage..the will and most importantly the sense of justice. He was about to put the data pads aside when he noticed an unread article attached,
Other Information: One of a set of twins, twin brother named Luke. No further information on his whereabouts.
Darth Vader was shaken to the core by this simple piece of information...not only he had a daughter...but a son as well...but how was 'Luke'..where was he?...what happened to him?...was he even alive...??...Padme had given him two children...a pang of resentment shot up from inside him...he had two children...but why were they hidden?...he knew the answer immediately...Darth Sidious...Palpatine would kill them...he was sure of that...because...always two there were...Master and Apprentice...no more, no less...his children would become a threat, and thus eliminated...for that he was once again infinitely grateful to his friend and mentor, for taking the necessary steps...Leia was certainly given to good people...and look who she is right now...and Luke...he would know eventually...he would...and Padme...he had a fairly reliable intuition that she was alive...but for now, he will have to attend to the matter at hand...his daughter's life hung in balance and it was up to him, if she would live or not.
Questions continued to assault his mind...but this time he knew he had to act... and fast. He stored the Data pads on a sealed container and placed it on the secured area of the chamber. He already had a plan. The Dark Lord strode purposely out of the chamber, not with fear and hatred but with hope...
