[22x20]

California fellow, Kheyla P, made a Call To Action in collaboration with other youth in Union City, California. Mental Health is a big issue; speak up, reach out.

Ki Sazen: "When the Nikto said a girl was coming after me, I thought she'd be a challenge."

Kheyla: "And when I heard a Jedi was leading a Nikto cult, I thought she'd be older than twelve..."

Hindsight

"I have always been a woman of reason, only taking the actions that are based on logic and never emotions. Yet, I fear I might have allowed myself to become blinded by my loyalty to the Empire and its beliefs, and I am not sure if the choice I took was the logical choice to make...

I believe I started taking a notice of my illogical actions on Alderaan, where I allowed my emotions to control every action I took, from the very moment I laid eyes on Vector Hyllus to the actions that lead to the downfall of House Cortess... I would not say I let myself be mislead by my emotions, despite my desire to return to Vector, simply to have an excuse to talk to him once again, but how can I be certain that I did not act irrationally when that desire was so strong? And how could I allow myself to act upon this feeling, when a terrorist was threatening to destroy what I believe in so strongly? I have analyzed the facts over and over, and even though I find I could not have acted differently, I still feel I should have stopped myself before it became what it did...

But what stands out to me the most, is the death of Denri Ayl; a suspect, an enemy, a coward... Elimination was inevitable, of course, but my rage has never been so overwhelming. I was blinded by my desire to see him suffer, to watch him bleed, to take his life. I think of the things my sister, father and mother have told me from their travels and experiences with being Sith, and I can draw similarities to my own desire at that point. Is that what it means to be Sith? Let oneself be overcome with the rage that drives them to a potentially undesirable outcome? I will not lie; the feeling was exhilarating, and I have never quite felt so alive, but I have killed before, and that has not been the same. It was a duty, not a thrill.

If I have changed, if my actions on Alderaan made me blind to logic, then I have to ask: Did I make the right choice in the end?"

SPOILER ALERT!

Eradication, Part Two

"Without Watcher Two at my back, my meeting with Darth Jadus would have turned out differently. Not because I would have joined him -- he declared himself an enemy of the Empire the very second he threatened it's citizens -- but because her ability to think on her feet is extraordinary. Listening to everything he told me, she came up with several solutions to the problem, but left the decision up to me.

I am not proud of my involvement in killing thousands of innocent lives with the Eradicator, but I needed the distraction. With the Darth occupied, I quickly sabotaged the ship's hyperdrive, as well as disabling the jamming signal and overriding the shield generator. The only thing remaining, was to make sure Darth Jadus did not escape before the reinforcements arrived.

I would have preferred a far more lethal approach, but he will answer for his actions, in the end.

...Just as I will answer for mine..."

Writer's Note:

Another non sketch. This is actually the finished product. She didn't turn out half as good as I'd hoped. -.-;; It looks better in real life, though.

Anyway, this is my attempt at drawing Kheyla.

SPOILER ALERT!

If you don't want to tie a name to that face, I strongly suggest you do not read this post.... Well, I say face, but it's really more a mask.

Eradication, Part One

"As soon as I had come to my senses after the explosion left in my honor by the Eagle, I was taken directly to the Imperial Headquarters to speak to Keeper and Watcher Two. There was no time to waste...

Infiltration went as planned, but along the way, I discovered three holo recordings, telling me the story of the crew on board. I paid attention, all while thinking that this was far too perfect. I had a feeling that the patron would best me, or that I was far too late. But I was not prepared for the sight that awaited me on the bridge...

Darth Jadus."

The Eagle's Last Flight

"The Eradicator; the powerful semi biological weapons the Eagle designed to target Imperial worlds from orbit. As much as I hate to admit it, the technology of this weapon is nothing short of ingenious. If I had not been tasked with taking this terrorist group down, I would have gladly taken over the project of finding out how they work, so the Empire can use them on our enemies.

Imperial Intelligence has tracked the Eagle to Hutta, and assigned me to be the one to take it out, a task I accepted with pride. After all, taking him down will finally be the end of this madness. Perhaps, with her father avenged, Darth Zhorrid might finally let me focus on what is important.

But nothing is ever simple. Before he sacrificed himself for what he believed is a noble cause, the Eagle revealed that the Eradicators are set to detonate at random planets, unless the right codes are entered, and I only possess half of the command codes required.

I suspect my next mission will be to find the one who holds the second half..."

Diplomatic Relations, Part Four

"Fighting our way out of the courtyard, we somehow managed to reach the hive that Vector Hyllus and his Killik tribe were hiding. Suspicious though it might have been, I was not the only one to predict the inevitable betrayal of Hosue Cortess, and Vector had already devised a plan to get us both back inside the royal chambers.

But I am no fool. One does not help destroy an entire royal family simply because the Empire wishes it, especially not when his diplomatic services are no longer needed. I knew he and his tribe wanted something in return, and I saw no reason why they should not be rewarded for their efforts. And if that means taking down House Cortess and all the innocent lives that live there, so be it.

Of course, I would be lying if I said I am not allowing this to have Vector join me in my travels... I am oddly drawn to him."
