Dark Legacy 8

Before

Soon after the Battle of Yavin 4

"Progress has not gone as I would have hoped." The hooded man said.

"I am deeply sorry, my Lord." Malek said. The smell of charred flesh filled the air, and chief technician Malek's body hit the floor.

"Apology accepted." The hooded man said. "Synx."

"Yes, sir." Synx said. He bowed as he approached.

"Your final time frame is set." The man said. "Next time I return, I wish to see the project completed."

"Yes, my Lord." Synx said.

"Do not fail me as your predecessors have." The hooded figure said. "Everything must go as planned if we are to succeed."

"I understand my Lord." Synx said.

The hooded figure regarded Synx for a moment. "No, you do not." Synx fell, his body still smoking.

"Yahn, finish the project. And do not fail me." The hooded figure existed. Yahn turned to the other workers after he left.

"You heard him, we must finish before he returns next." Yahn said. The other technicians went back to work. Yahn turned to the still unfinished project. It was nearly finished, but there were still many improvements to work on. The Master wanted it to be the perfect killing machine. "Or may the Force help us all."
