Begin narration
In the middle of asteroid-filled space, a damaged cargo ship, almost in ruins, drifted by, nicknamed the Ebony Falcon, with a malfunctioning hyperdrive. Luckily, they were near the Peragus mining station. The entire crew was injured, unconscious, or dead. Among them was a woman who was seriously injured and in the infirmary. The only one barely standing was a small utility robot named T3-M4 with a disc-shaped head, a camera in front that served as a display, a rectangular torso positioned diagonally forward and upward, two limbs that were like arms coming out of the upper part of its torso, the limbs touched the ground and had wheels at the end to enable movement, and the lower part of its torso had two tracks protected by metal shells that also served for movement. The little one, who was in the cockpit, could see sparks coming out of various places. He had to see what the problems were with the ship and its crew.
M4 checked the galactic map and the little boy realized that the hyperdrive was damaged and unable to travel. He tried to order the ship to go to the nearby station, but it didn't work. He still had to repair part of the ship and restore power to the engines.
He went down a short corridor and saw a small room on the left that was damaged like the rest of the ship. He saw a container and opened it to see what was inside. The container opened automatically, revealing a computer chip, which the droid picked up with its small metal limbs protruding from its torso and stored away. He then accessed the nearby communication console.
The console displayed on its screen.
Damaged, minimal functionality.
Primary functions disconnected.
M3 accessed the remaining functions, where, using the tip he had taken from the container, he decided to hack into the system with it. This gave him access to the controls for the cargo bay hatch, which was closed due to a leak in the ship's hull.
Likewise, the little one opened it and thus advanced down the corridor until he reached the room where the hatch led, where he could see all kinds of damage and faults. He could see more open or closed hatches leading to many places, and he saw a holotable and consoles.
At the back of the room, near some broken pipes that were emitting steam, he saw a deactivated and severely damaged gonk droid. He approached the robot's body and checked what he could take from there, but only found parts that he would use later.
He went to his left at the back where he saw the body of a woman lying motionless on the floor, with white hair and a brown tunic. Out of curiosity, the automaton checked her and found nothing. He found a disassembled humanoid droid near the body and checked it, finding more parts. He went to a small hallway and tried to open a hatch, but it was closed. He continued walking through the warehouse and tried to open another hatch, but it was locked. He heard what sounded like someone repeatedly hitting it. It was the security console, and he saw that it was missing computer tips for hacking. Finally, the little one tried to open a hatch at the back of the room and managed to hack it to get inside the hallway.
He saw an elevator on his left that would take him outside the ship to see what he could find, and on his right he saw a hatch. The droid hooked onto the elevator, went outside, and could see the stars, the darkness of space that was peaceful, mysterious, infinite, as well as a planet destroyed almost in half with its core exposed, as well as many asteroids. He could see that part of the ship's hull was missing. He found several damaged parts of the hull from which he took possible spare parts for the relevant repairs he would make later. He identified some cables that would open a door to the starboard cabins. He used the parts he found and his skills as a repairman. He continued moving until he reached a small minefield, which he deactivated and recovered the mines for later use. He also observed an unexploded missile embedded in the ship, which he deactivated and dismantled to obtain spare parts. Then he took the elevator.
He returned inside the ship, where he saw the hatch he had seen previously and opened it by hacking it. seeing that it was the infirmary where he examined a woman on a stretcher wearing a simple suit that only covered her from her thighs to her neck. He saw that she needed a medpac to stabilize her very serious condition, saw a nearby medical container which he opened by hacking, where he found what he was looking for and injected one of those into the woman, which stabilized her vital signs.
He went down the hallways and found a junction connecting four hallways in four directions and took the one on the right, where he opened a hatch with his hacking skills. The room he entered had containers, which he searched, and in one he found a field pistol. He went to look for more things like safety tips and other things he already had. He opened a locker and found armor used by mechanical beings like himself, as well as a distant relative of his, a 3C-FD droid, which he repaired. He invited it to join his group in its binary language, and it joined.
The two automatons went to the ship's garage, which was locked. They learned that they had to hack the security computer, which T3 did with computer tips. T3 could see how the console said there was a breach in the hull in the area where they wanted to go.
So they agreed that 3C would go to the console, while the blue droid went to the area between the gates leading to the garage. FD closed the outer gate leading to the garage and opened the inner one. The blue droid could see the half-destroyed garage and could see outer space through a breach in the wall and part of the floor. He could see a workbench that he used to build a repair kit for himself and repair his damage. He crossed the garage and could see a closed gate, another hallway, and a place where the landing ramp unfolded. He continued until he found himself in the starboard cabin and saw square polymer trunks where he found a flamethrower for droids and other things. The light blue automaton returned to the garage doors and his companion opened one while he closed another, and they both gathered together.
T3 placed a mine on the engine room door to open it and then quickly moved away. He could see a mess in the engine room, as in the rest of the ship. He set about repairing the hyperdrive, but could only repair it enough to give the ship power in its displacement engines. The pair of utility droids opened a trunk at blaster point in the main hold, but they only found common items that would be useful later. They returned to the cockpit and set the ship's destination to Paragus II, which barely managed to land at the station among the asteroids. The ship's computer indicated that the sensors were detecting that the storage door was being hacked by someone or something else inside the ship. Shots were heard, as well as the sounds of utility droids suffering, as well as the appearance of a green humanoid automaton with possibly hostile intentions.
While the wounded woman, stabilized by the small droid, was transferred to a Kolto tank at the station, along with other people, she was suspended in an induced coma for a few days, using a respirator until a voice said to her
"Wake up," ordered a mysterious female voice to the sleeping woman who had been in the infirmary of the Ebony Falcon.
The brown-haired woman woke up and removed the respirator as she struggled out of the tank, spitting out Kolto, as she had swallowed some of it. She crawled and began to crawl with difficulty, short of breath.
"Who am I? How did I get here? What is this place? What is happening?" She was uncertain, shouting without knowing exactly what was going on, while she grabbed her legs with her hands and looked around, not knowing much, somewhat fearful.
After a while, she managed to calm down and walk with difficulty while remembering that she had been on a republican frigate called the Heraldo, but she didn't know how she got there. Finally, she managed to stand up and saw a small corridor with a door, which she opened. Behind it, she saw the word "morgue" written on it and tried to open it by hacking it, but she couldn't. She didn't know how she had those skills, but she felt as if she knew in part how to do it. She saw a door at the back that was malfunctioning and couldn't open it, so she went to another door where, upon opening it, she saw a container with medpacs, a console, and a laboratory. She saw another door, which she opened just like the other one, and saw more containers, from which she took everything. She accessed the console and was able to see records.
The console showed different options.
1._ Access medical records.
2._ Access patients' vital signs.
3._ Access patient treatment.
4._ Access nursing functions
The woman accessed the second option.
She could see that the patients in the Kolto tanks were reported as deceased, including herself.
She then saw that there was an option to access patient treatment to see what it said about that.
It said that all patients were being treated for severe plasma burns. The last treatment request resulted in the death of all patients except number 3, whose vital signs were reduced to a minimum.
The console then displayed
Check the last treatment request, and she pressed that option to see what it said.
It appeared on the screen.
A lethal dose of sedatives was administered to all tanks, including number. There is no record of who ordered the treatment, but then he saw that he needed a computer tip, but he didn't have one to find out about the treatment. He didn't know how he possessed these skills or how he knew what a computer tip was or how to use it. He abandoned his thoughts and returned to his situation.
He returned to the main options on the console, where he accessed the medical records.
Record 253-12 (3 days ago)
Record 253-15 (2 days ago)
Record 253-18 (1 day ago)
He accessed record 253-12
He accessed log 253-12 from 3 days ago, and a hologram of a woman with dark skin, short curly black hair, and a simple yet elegant blue uniform with green stripes on her arms and legs appeared.
- Record 253-12 from Doctor Coria Harand, nursing officer at the Peragus II mining station, 5 years after the destruction of the Star Forge, stardate 21102 AFR, month 02, day 12, at 09:40 AM, location Peragus II in the Peragus system. we are examining the survivors of the damaged freighter, it seems to be called the Ebony Falcon, which is a dynamic class freighter according to the database, oh no, it can't be, it's the same ship that the Jedi Revan used to destroy the Star Forge and his other exploits, how can it be the same one? She declared, surprised and intrigued, as she put her hand on her chin and thought.
- Log 253-12 PM 1:45 p.m. Same location and date as the previous entry. We tried to contact the Republic, but it seems that something has sabotaged the communication antennas. We must reestablish communications. We searched the freighter more thoroughly. There is only one survivor. We have performed genetic tests to identify her and she has been placed in a Kolto medical tank for recovery. The signs on the ship suggest that there was a battle, but we do not know who attacked them. I report simply, ending the entry.
- Log 253-12 PM 15:53 hours, same location and same date as the previous entry. It seems that someone or something has destroyed the antennas and their spare parts in the warehouse. We must send a ship to the Republic to report our problem. They were unable to retrieve much from the navigation computer. I'm surprised the ship managed to enter the Peragus asteroid field without the drift charts. As for the genetic tests, I can't believe it. It has a large number of midichlorians, and maybe they're wrong because, according to the Republic database, the only survivor has the same genetics as a Jedi named Meetra Surik, a follower of Revan who was exiled from the order for her actions in the Mandalorian Wars. When she regains consciousness, we must consult her to find out how she ended up here. The dark-skinned woman reported, surprised and very puzzled, ending the entry.
- Log 253-12 PM 5:16 p.m. Same location and date as the previous entry. In addition to the sole survivor, we recovered an elderly woman with no vital signs, whom we also subjected to genetic testing. I will await the results. There was also a protocol droid and another utility droid on board. We have sent them for maintenance while security checks the contents of the ship. Something destroyed the ship that was trying to communicate our problems to the Republic, as well as the fuel freighters. Something or someone does not want us to leave here. We must repair the freighter to ask the Republic for help. The doctor sounded very concerned and somewhat panicked.
- Log 253-12 PM 18:16 hours, same location and same date as the previous entry. There is some panic at the station due to the events of this day. The genetic samples... I can't believe it. According to the Republic database, the old woman is Kreia, Revan's former Jedi master who disappeared. But why is she here? How did she get here? And how did she die? It seems that the utility droid, a T3 unit, managed to repair the ship so that it could withstand enough to reach the facility. We are prepared for... The female's log ends incomplete because suddenly the holographic recording ends with interference.
Did I get involved in the Mandalorian Wars alongside Revan? Am I or was I a Jedi? I don't remember that. Who or what is trying to prevent us from leaving here? Was my name Meetra Surik? She wondered as she held her head in pain, along with images of a beautiful planet where two fleets fought savagely until something happened and it was destroyed and turned into ruins full of lightning. Then she remembers that she was in front of Jedi masters in the council chamber.
"Who am I really?" the now-named Meetra wondered as she sat on the cold floor in a meditative pose, thinking about how natural that pose was for her.
Then she accessed log 253-15 from two days ago.
A holographic recording was seen with the same female doctor from before.
- Record 253-15 from Doctor Coria Harand, nursing officer at the Peragus II mining station, 5 years after the destruction of the Star Forge, date of stardate 21102 DFR, month 02 and day 13 at 09:43 AM, location Peragus II in the Peragus system. There is more panic at the station because of what happened yesterday. We have a Jedi, or rather an exiled Jedi, but we won't know for sure until the Republic contacts us. If the survivor is a Force user, that explains the recovery period. The officer deduced as she thoughtfully placed a hand on her chin.
- Log 253-15 PM 1:45 p.m., same location and date as the previous entry. I was informed that they managed to repair the Ebony Falcon to 50%. The hyperdrive is not working yet, but they say it will be operational tomorrow, just like the rest of the ship. However, I am more concerned about a former Jedi. we don't know what trouble she's gotten into and what she might cause here. Some miners, especially Coorta, are already... The holographic recording was unable to finish the sentence due to interference and jumped to another dialogue that said the following.
- Log 253-15 PM 4:25 p.m., same location and same date as the previous entry, another accident today: a detonation in the ventilation tunnels. If the shutdown measures had not been activated, the entire facility could have exploded. The doctor warned fearfully, thinking about what could have happened.
- Log 253-15 PM 19:15 hours, same location and same date as the previous entry, the droids and other workers managed to get almost all the injured to the Kolto tanks in time, but the rest went to the morgue. One of the injured said that the accident was caused by a droid, but he couldn't give us any details because something hit him on the head, causing minor amnesia. The doctor reported somewhat dejectedly on the large number of casualties at the station, and the log was closed.
"What is happening or what happened here? It can't all be a coincidence, right? Who is behind all this?" Indigo is filled with questions as he thinks and reflects on the events at this facility.
Then he accessed log 253-18 from 1 day ago.
A holographic recording was seen with the same female doctor from before.
- Log 253-18 from Dr. Coria Harand, chief medical officer at the Peragus II mining station, five years after the destruction of the Star Forge, stardate 21102 DFR, month 02, day 14, at 08:43 AM, location Peragus II in the Peragus system. The freighter is 80% repaired, the hyperdrive is almost working properly, miners on the Jedi, several of the droids are behaving strangely, and even memory erasures don't seem to fix the problem. What is going on here? The doctor wondered, with no answers to everything that was happening.
- Log 253-18 PM 1:15 p.m., same location and date as the previous entry. The hyperdrive is missing a few details, but the ship is 100% operational. There was a detonation in another of the fuel vents where the droids were working. We deactivated many of them and took them to maintenance, but we are still treating plasma burns. The doctor reported in her entry, even more uncertain about what was happening here.
- Log 253-18 PM 3:15 p.m., same location and date as the previous entry, the Ebony Falcon is fully operational. With these recent events, we are left with half the crew and several damaged droids. Furthermore, with the destruction of our ships, we will not be able to deliver this month's cargo to Telos. Fortunately, the explosion did not cause the closure... She said, very concerned about what might happen. She was unable to finish her statement because her fears came true when a loudspeaker sounded.
There has been an explosion in the tunnels. Emergency shutdown is beginning. All personnel report to their quarters and prepare for emergency ventilation countermeasures.
The female hologram continued her dialogue, saying.
"No, if the ventilation systems fail... Evacuate the infirmary! Everyone evacuate...!" she exclaimed, alerted, shouting around her, the poor doctor on alert, but the holographic recording had interference and she was unable to finish what she said.
"What could have happened here to end up like this? Where is everyone?" wondered the amnesiac, doubtful and lost, not knowing what to do.
About three days earlier, in another place, more specifically on the frigate called the Herald, a Hammerhead-class Republic ship, the bodies of dead Republic soldiers could be seen scattered in piles on the bridge, all with lightsaber burns, while in the middle of it all stood a bald humanoid with a body covered in deep scars everywhere, so much so that he had a white glass eye. His torso was naked, he had a black sleeve on one arm and only a glove on the other, he wore loose black pants and black boots. He was a Sith known as Darth Sion. He meditated and, using his powers of the Force, communicated with another being many solar systems away.
The being he wanted to contact was on the bridge of a ship known as the Ravager, a Centurion-class battle cruiser, which was in terrible condition, full of large holes in its hull, rusted, crushed, and with other serious damage visible throughout the ship. The bridge of the ship a bridge full of large windows, multiple controls operated by poor unfortunate slaves permanently enslaved by the owner of this battered ship. That being was known as Darth Nihilus, a being who years ago transcended his flesh body and now his soul inhabited a bone armor, and on top of this he wore a tunic, hood, and elegant black cloth garments that covered his entire body, as well as a white mask similar to bone with red lines above the area where his eyes should be. The dark lord responded to the call of his old companion Sion
- Is that you, old friend? It's been a long time since I've heard your voice. The hooded figure replied in Sith language, but to Sion it sounded like any other conversation, because Sion knew that language.
"Yes, brother, and I am continuing my plan to exterminate the remaining Jedi hiding in the galaxy alongside my minions," confirmed the deformed dark lord, serious as ever.
"How are you getting on with your work of destroying places with large numbers of Jedi and Force users?" asked Sion as he continued to meditate.
"A few months ago, I devastated a world called Katarr in the Katarr system, in the Vensori sector in the Mid Rim. When I descended to its surface thinking that everything was dead, I found a young Miraluka. I don't know how she survived, but when I saw her, I felt that she was strong in the Force. Now she is my acolyte." The Sith said somewhat proudly as he went to see his apprentice while walking slowly across the bridge.
I've been tracking a Jedi near the Paragus system. I must be patient, and I'll have her in my hands. Apparently, something or someone sabotaged communications, luckily for us, at the mining station where we could. With a few ships at my disposal, I will destroy any vessel that attempts to enter or leave the Paragus system. The Republic must not find out. I can also sense a signal or trace of our former master, Darth Traya. It's not possible. We drained her power a long time ago. He hesitated, puzzled and unsure how his master still retained power in the Force.
"Good hunting, old friend." Nihilus said goodbye, cutting communication with his companion and going to observe his apprentice.
In the present with Surik in sickbay.
So he decided to see if there was anything in the morgue to open or break the faulty door. He looked at the console and saw an option to open the morgue door, and he did so. The Jedi opened the door and saw seven beds, illuminated by lights on the walls. Upon entering the room, somewhat cold as ever, he saw the body of an old woman with white hair, brown robes, and light skin, now known as Kreia. Covered with another sheet, he approached the Deceased's body, whose vision was poor, and grabbed a plasma torch.
"I guess this will do. Let's see if I can get out of here with this," Surik declared, unsure of the object.
But without warning, the old woman, who appeared to be dead, slowly got out of bed and approached him, peering at him from behind the hood that covered her eyes.
-The End-
(When they say Stellar AFR, the acronym stands for After the Founding of the Republic; it's a way of referring to when the Republic calendar began, i.e., after its founding.)
