I thought my adventures in the mining tunnels were never going to end. They weren't exactly pleasant so I'll give as brief description as I can. Before I left Atton had warned me about being swarmed by droids in the tunnels; he wasn't kidding. Fortunately, I managed to find a stealth field generator, and clothing (much to Atton's dismay).

I didn't expect to find much else down there but as I made my way farther in I did come across an HK droid who was with me aboard the Harbinger. He said that the ship had been boarded by a small freighter, the Ebon Hawk. It had been in a battle just before that. After it came aboard the Harbinger was also attacked; probably by the same ship. That was how I got aboard the Ebon Hawk.

Once we reached Peragus and I was in the medbay, the miners had devised a plan to take me in for the bounty on Jedi. How all of these people began associating me with the Jedi, I may never know.

At one point I actually had to cross the facility from the outside which didn't quite thrill Atton. I'm pretty sure he was convinced I was going to get myself killed one way or another, then he would've had to do something besides sit and play Pazaak. As I crossed the platforms I contemplated my complete absence of luck when another ship docked with the station. I didn't notice right away, but as I looked closer I realized that it was the Harbinger. I thought that maybe it had escaped whatever battle it had been involved in, and maybe my luck was returning. With that in mind I hurried back up to the admin level and found Kreia. I contemplated leaving her, but decided that since she was the only one who knew what was going on I'd keep her along. When I told her about Atton she wasn't very happy. I then politely informed her that if she didn't want to be around him she could just stay on Peragus and no one's feelings would be hurt. I couldn't see the look on her face because her hood covered her eyes, but I'm betting it was deadly.

When we found Atton he was trying to figure out who had docked with the station. I told him that it was the Harbinger and that it was our only way off the station. Just then, the droid from the tunnels walked up behind us and aksed me where I thought I was going. I informed the pest that I was leaving, but on hearing that he pointed a mining laser right at me and said I should just go back to the medbay where I would be safe. We were forced to destroy it, not to anyone's dismay.

The ship looked as lifeless as the station we just left. We did find a few weapons scattered here and there which we took, figuringbetter safe then sorry. Our first priority was obtaining the space charts for the asteroid field, without those we might as well fly straight into the closest asteroid and not waste the time delaying the inevitable. On the way we were ambushed by camouflaged Sith, but we took care of them, with our newly acquired weapons. We came across the dorm-like rooms where I had been lodged on the ship. I stopped, many of my belongings were inside. I told Atton and Kreia to keep going and I'd catch up once I'd grabbed my things. Fortunately the Sith on board hadn't looted anything. I changed out of my fashionable mining uniform back into my own clothes. When I caught back up with Atton and Kreia they were almost to the bridge. Once more, camouflaged Sith attacked us.

Once we found the bridge, got the charts, and were heading back out practically home free when we came across a mutilated, lightsaber-bearing man. Apparently he and Kreia were old friends. She pulled out a sword and headed towards him and told us to run. I tried to follow her and stop her, thinking she was the mad one, when the dorr slammed shut and Atton grabbed my arm simultaneously.

"There's nothing we can do, we have to go" he said, pulling me along the corridor.

When we found the way to the fuel line Atton was the one who stopped.

"We're not really going through that, are we?"

"Not if you want to wait for Kreia's pal back there; it's up to you," I replied.

That convinced him enough to trust me one more time. We were almost through the line when all of the sudden I felt a searing pain in my hand. I had no idea what it was from, and it hurt so much I stopped running and leaned against the wall, hoping it would stop. Atton turned and saw me and ran back.

"What are you doing?!" he called as he ran, "What happened?" he asked once he reached me.

"I don't know...my hand started burning, it's getting better now."

"C'mon," he said, "just a little farther just keep going, you can't stop now."

With that he grabbed my other arm and pulled me forward again. It still smarted but not enough to make me stop again. We came across the t3 droid who helped us when we were trapped on the admin level lying in our path. I stopped to check it out, Atton got mad and said to just leave it. It responded when I lifted it back on it's base. Apparently it had been attacked and dumped there by that assassin droid, for interfering. I told it to follow Atton and I. We made it out of the tunnels to the hangar. The door was stuck.

"Great, all this way and we're stuck anyway!" I yelled in frustration, "maybe we should've—"

"Deet, deet doo"

"What's that tin can want now?" said Atton, just as frustrated as I was.

"He says he has the codes and parts for the door."

"Well, I was just kidding, don't let me get in the way," he said.

T3 managed to get the door open and we made our way to the ship, but with a large group of Sith right behind us. Atton got the engines fired up and I took care of the Sith from the turret. A few did manage to board, but luckily we still had the weapons from the harbinger and fought them off. In about 5 minutes Kreia showed up, holding the same wrist as I had a few minutes before.

"What happened?" I yelled, "Were you trying to get yourself killed?"

"I could face him, I have before" she said cryptically.

"Are you alright?" I asked, remembering that she had done it to save us.

"I escaped," she replied.

"Look, I'm sure you two would love to chat some more, but we're not out of this yet," Atton reminded us. "I suggest you take a seat and strap yourselves in, this could get a little rough."

Kreia went back to the main hold, I took the copilot seat. We left the hangar and were then faced with getting through the asteroid field. Fortunately the orbital drift charts had been recently updated and we could make it out safely. But, just as things seemed to be getting better the Harbinger came after us.

"Wonderful!" Atton yelled, "if they fire this whole field's gonna go up!"

"We'll have to outrun them," I said. "Can we make it?"

"We'll have to try"

As we were maneuvering through the asteroids, the harbinger fired, hitting the Ebon Hawk, which was fortunate, ironically. Better us than an asteroid, we were still to deep in the field to jump to hyperspace. They kept firing, but this time they hit one; followed by a massive explosion. Atton waited until the very last moment and then jumped to hyperspace. We were finally out.

As soon as the jump was complete, we both took a breath, glad to be out of there.

"Do you always manage to get into this much trouble?" Atton asked leaning back in his seat.

"I wouldn't relax just yet," Kreia joyfully announced walking into the room. "Peragus' destruction will not go unnoticed."

"Well, as long as no one finds out we were there we'll be alright," I said.

"Well, don't hold your breath about that, we're headed to Telos, which is dependent on Peragian fuel," said Atton, "they're not going to take this lightly."

"Perfect, can't we go anywhere else," I asked.

"Trust me, I wouldn't go there if I had the option of…just about anywhere else," Atton replied, "but the navicomputer is voice-locked and the only course we have is Telos."

" I guess we'll just have to deal with it once we get there then," I said. I turned to Kreia, "who was that on the Harbinger? How do you know him."

"I am wearied, suffice to say he is one of the Sith who are chasing you."

"But why me?"

"They believe you are the last Jedi."

"What gave them that idea? Certainly no real Jedi would aid that speculation."

"Their reasons are unknown to me. But they are aware of your ties to the Order, and apparently that's enough for them. That's enough questions for now. Especially in the company of a fool. I must rest." With that she turned and walked out.

"What did I do to her?" Atton asked, "what's wrong?" he asked when I didn't respond.

"You mean besides the Sith chasing me, or the crazy old woman who seems as confused about me as them, or Peragus or—"

"Calm down," Atton said.

"Calm down? Do you know the only reason I was on that station and not dead on the harbinger was because Kreia and that psycho assassination droid both took some sort of misguided interest in me? And on top of that, it seems like everyone but me knows what's going on. I didn't wander around the galaxy because I had any intention of coming back!"

"Ok, I'm not saying you don't have any reason to freak out right now, but what good is it going to do? We're all lucky to have made it off that rock. And if you think I'm happy with the situation you're sadly mistaken."

"I know, I'm sorry. I've just been away so long…I don't even know what…never mind. I'm fine."

"Why don't you go try and talk to you crazy friend back there. I think she wants you to. After all, she's not going to say a word to me."

With that I went to go search out Kreia. I found her in the dormitory.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"It will mend."

I asked her about the Sith and how she found me. Apparently she had been looking for me. As to any real answers beyond that, nothing. I could tell she was no Jedi. But, with as cryptic as she was she either missed her calling or, more likely, left the Order on not so good terms. Once again she avoided my questions with an, "I must rest."

"All right," I replied. "Thanks for what you did back there."

"You should check on the fool in the cockpit, I don't trust him."

"Well, I'm not going to ask you to trust him, but start using his name."

I went back to talk to Atton, more because I didn't know what else to do than because of Kreia. He heard me coming and asked, "So what did she have to say?"

"Nothing substantial. She's as bad as a Jedi."

"Maybe she is one," he said.

"Maybe at one time, but there's no way she still is." I sat back down in the co-pilot's seat. "You're sure there's no way to get anywhere but Telos?" I asked.

"Trust me if there was, we'd be headed to Nar Shadaa."

I didn't reply, just stared out the window.

"You play Pazaak?" Atton asked.

"Yeah. My deck is with all my other stuff," and I left to go grab it. I had thrown my things in the opposite dorm from Kreia, I didn't like being too close to her. When I opened my bag, I thought it was strange that when I packed these things it was just another planet I was visiting. Nothing new, nothing I hadn't seen before, and now here I was. I couldn't figure out how any of this happened. How did anyone even find out about me? Nothing made sense. Now I was headed to Telos with no idea what to expect. I had gone expecting nothing for so long. That is what my exile had done to me. I didn't care about where or why or how in any situation. The last time I had was when the council sentenced me. I stood up quickly. I had spent too many years escaping that day; there was no way I could look back at it now. Now, I was going to go play Pazaak; what was to come would come.

When I returned I realized I must've taken longer than I thought. "Did you get lost?" Atton asked.

I just rolled my eyes and answered, "Well if you don't want to play I'll just go back and you can—"

"Ok, ok, I was just kidding," he said pulling his deck out of his jacket pocket. We played a couple of games without saying much of anything, but as he was dealing the third game Atton asked, "So, what really happened. I mean I've never heard of anyone who stops being a Jedi."

I kept my eyes down, focusing on my cards. Part of me hated him for bringing it up, again. But, another part, a much smaller one, wanted to just tell him everything that happened without thinking about who he was or if I knew him at all, thinking that maybe it would make part of it go away. "I told you," I replied, "I was exiled for following Revan."

"But a lot of Jedi followed her, and you're the only one I've heard of being exiled for it."

"I guess I was the only one who left. The rest must've stayed on with Revan."

The game ended, Atton won. He dealt and asked, "Well, why did you go back?"

This time I looked up at him, "I…after the war, I just couldn't anymore." Just then I threw down a +5 card with 17 points. It was Atton's turn to look up. I picked up the cards and dealt. Hoping that would be the end of his questions, but he continued, "Where's your light saber then?"

"The Council took it."

"What did it look like?"

I realized suddenly I hadn't thought of that for a very long time. "It was…silver. Like the light of stars on water."

"It wasn't red was it?"

"No. Maybe if I'd stayed with Revan it would've been," I mused.

Finally, I won a game. I sat back while Atton dealt, "So why were you locked up on Peragus anyway?" I asked.

"I was hired as a pilot for a freighter, but apparently there was a mix-up with my credentials or something, nothing exciting. And, since they didn't know what to do with me 'til it was cleared up, they gave me those spacious quarters until they fixed it. Quite a hospitable little place."
