the helmet and shroud of black robes allow them to look more like a beast than a lorrdian, frame humanoid enough and standing tall. the empire was on its last leg, a truth that any of the knights knew. the first order had been born from its destruction, after all. they’d not even been born yet. worthy of investigating further, of seeing if the process was something that could be sped along –– thirty years was a long time, and there was no guarantee that any of them would be returning to their time soon. “the empire needs to acquire new assets if it’s not going to crumble.”

her blood was boiling.

everything about her life had been in service of the empire, for the greater glory of it, and yet here she was, wanting nothing more than to tear down everything it stood for, to rage against the orders that she had been given. collect protectorate gleb alone. no citizen evacuations were being performed despite the horrid state of the planet and the unnatural storm that sent lightning shaking through the city. vardos had been her home for as long as she could remember, and it had always been beautiful. despite much of her time devoted to training and studying anything and everything that she could get her hands on, iden had not been ignorant of the natural beauty of the planet. it was considered to be an imperial utopia for plentiful reasons beyond the loyalty to the empire.

but now, it seemed like that meant nothing. all of the secrecy from her father and moff raythe now made sense. attempts to voice her disagreement with the mission had already been made and she had nearly walked out of that room shaking with the anger that she felt. this was not how she was meant to return home.

the last time that she had been on vardos for an extended stay had been during the efforts to brand iden versio as a traitor to the empire, to coincide with their undercover mission with the dreamers. then, she had been so young and passionate about the cause that they were serving. the commander was still young, still passionate –– but the empire did not appear to be doing the thing that they were meant to do. that they promised to do. this was cruel. they had turned on their own people and refused to see the flaw in it. a line had been crossed, and she wasn’t sure that she was able to cross it too. she hadn’t had any traitorous thoughts then, but she did now.

the corvus had landed, all helmets on as inferno squad walked through the familiar courtyard. the statue of her father staring down upon them –– the hero of vardos –– sickened her. he had been named the hero, and now he was partially responsible for its destruction. lightning crackled across the sky above them as they walked, boots clamping on the ground. she could overhear conversations from citizens, begging for answers, for a chance off, only to be shut down by the stormtroopers. this wasn’t right.

“the people of vardos are loyal to the empire. why should they be left to suffer?”

there was no more respite from the war now than there had been at the end of the clone wars, as the empire had taken its power and slaughtered those who stood in the way. coruscant had never been a calm enough planet to find any peace on; its prowess and towering buildings, busting streets always ensured something. but since the riots had begun, stil with no end in sight, the atmosphere was different.

second sister was not fully dressed in her inquisitor’s outfit, instead, her helmet and cape nowhere in sight, just head to toe in black that looked vaguely imperial.

the pond was man-made, initially deserted, hesperidium reflecting across the still surface. she stood still and stared at it. it was the presence of another in the force – a curious... anomaly, not familiar, but enough to grasp onto her attention, that broke the silence of her intense stare. “shouldn’t you know better than to be out here alone?”

"he showed me what i wanted to see so i would underestimate him." |- from Merrin -|

“Did it work?” Shaak asked, despite already assuming the answer would involve the man’s downfall for daring to misjudge a Nightsister. “Actually a more pertinent question may be: how badly did he pay for his mistake?”

"it’s only stupid if we die doing it. otherwise, it’s heroism." |- from Vyna -|

“You didn’t mention the dying part earlier when we came up with this plan.” Although, to be fair, the dying part hadn’t occurred to Rose during the planning stage and perhaps it should have been at least noted. Her bad. Hopefully this was something she would learn from.

"do they ever seem like kids to you- kids who shouldn’t be in this at all?" |- from Satine -|

“Yes,” Bail answered, with no hesitation. His thoughts went immediately to Leia. From what he had heard, Leia grew up to become the leader of the Rebel Alliance. He was proud of her, so proud, but he had to wonder if his actions meant Leia didn’t get a chance to live without being at the forefront of war. “I wish it was different for them.”

“No, I’m not afraid to die, just mad I left Palpatine alive.” |-from dooku-|

anakin let out a broken bark of laughter that took a while to taper off. “wow and I thought you’d say something controversial!” another small chuckle left his lips that held no true joy. “you’re FAR from the beginning of that line.”

“Do you know what loneliness does to a man?“ |- from hask -|

“i am aware of what it can do.” the voice modulator in their mask is deeper than their natural one, makes it easy to maintain an air of nonchalance in their response. the beginning years of their life had been spent alone –– something that certainly shaped their coldness, a fondness for cruelty in them now. but for better or for worse, they had become dependent on the company of the other knights. “but it is a choice to let it ruin you. i chose to let it make me powerful.”
