 Now this, this is a good corridor, wow. Well, how does it all fit, Deary? The real question to ask is, why are we here? You have had a taste of my son's empire, his reach, and Valin. She does not believe in respect. We can only defeat Arkan if we work together. Well, although I do not trust you, I am listening. I'll hear you out. Thank you. It's simple, really. You must be willing to accept my help for what it is, and you will have to come to this acceptance sooner than you think. Fight people, the founders! Sky Troopers bridging the entrance! Ooh, achievement completed. Excellent, exciting, and old art. Well, it doesn't matter which one I pick. Just for posterity's sake. Let's see then, what's going on? Well, if I had to wager a bet, the forces of the empire have discovered this at long last and are currently trying to bombard us all into a hellhole. Or at least to certain death. Whichever one comes first. Although, me being a Sith Lord, probably neither will stick. Not for too long anyway. Be a good lad and die now. Ooh, I have no one to heal me. Finally some challenge. Well, not really. But hey, at least I can pretend, right? What a weird thing to put in the middle of a corridor. Please be as kind as to die. I like how I can just keep doing that. Constantly. Awesome. Let's see what the problem is. That's right, kill that guy. We are being stylish, I like it. Compliment. Find this mantling master. That's just the first way. They have more on the way. I'll hit them all. The gravestone will be ready soon. I just need... Don't say three minutes. Find me some time. I'll get a Saraborn. I'm with you. HK, stay behind and help Koth. Until I say so. Don't touch anything. I wouldn't have minded going with HK55. But hey, that's okay too. Right, time to take care of the enemy. Ooh, that was weird. Sometimes the game acts strangely. But I'll forgive Bioware for all the issues. As long as they give me another moment filled with... Never stood a chance. HK55 shooting at alien creatures in an amusing way. Yeah, I still remember that. The best part of the expansion so far. Probably just the best part overall. Somewhat worthy opponent. Yes, exactly, Lana. Ooh, right. An empathronic battle droid. Somewhat worthy opponent. Yes, worthy indeed. Never stood a chance. Let's cast Crushing Darkness and destroy this. Well, he's not an elite. So that's kind of a surprise. I was honestly expecting a more difficult fight. But hey, I think I've said that before. Challenge accepted and met. Excellent, Lana. Ah, Valin perhaps. Koth did say there were more on the way. Something I've learned to count on regarding Arkan. There will always be more. Not always, dearine. I fully intend to make sure that eventually... He has none left. Now, that's more... More like it. I mean, besides the part that he's also obviously... Okay. Fly there, waiting for reinforcements, if you will. Be that way. I'll just take care of them. And that guy still looks like a Warhammer reject. Which, as we've learned in recent episodes, is bad. And also, which reminds me that I really want to play Warhammer... Any Warhammer game, really. Like 40k. I need the good Warhammer 40k game to play. Delightful. Just another wave of this and we will be all done. Honestly, I cannot wait for it to be over. And for more tidbits of delicious story. Ready to die then? Excellent. If you will be so kind as to die now. Thank you. Really quite helpful, those... Captains. Oh no, what will we do? It's not like we are lords of the Sith. There are too many. We have to keep fighting. Hey, you took me ahead out there? No. We have help. Who's that now? Hello? You are... Lana. You're late. Interesting. The plot tickens. I do hope you're up to fighting your own, Senya. I... could save her. I only require the briefest moment of control. Accept my help. Or watch her die. Choose quickly. Time has not stopped. Very well. Go ahead. I'm pretty sure this is me going on a very dark, very dangerous path. But I'm curious. Gladly. Was that him? The power at your disposal? I was coming to help, but... Looks like you didn't need it. Is the gravestone ready for takeoff? As far as I can tell. Looks like we've got everyone. So he was going to save her. Wait. Where's Senya? Excuse me? Where's who? Here I am. Let's move out. Whoa, wait a minute. Hang on. She's your help? If you think I'm lending that piece of work on my ship, you're out of your interjection. Many hostiles are approaching. Permission to defend with extreme prejudice. No more fighting. After the engines. Be ready to move. The ship will never pull itself up from the muck. We'll have to give it a push. Firing up the engines. I hope. We can do this. Let your armies take root. Only then will the force do your bidding. I like that tiny bit of Sith knowledge. They're doing it. They're actually doing it. Can you believe it? Observation. The fragment of Sith code. Inclusion. Belief is not required. Glad you worked that out. Were I playing a Jedi now? I guess that as we were doing that, the Jedi would be all about serenity and the like. Now getting here so we can finally get moving. Monks. I very much enjoyed that. How about that? My gravestone can move. Well, this is my ship. Your gravestone do not lay claim to the belongings of others. Right. And let me guess who you think this ship belongs to. Incoming. Dropping out of hyperspace. It's a lot. The eternal fleet. They aren't firing. Okay, ship. What are you waiting for? Ooh. However, when we get... After that one. I'll take care of it. Oh, no. No, please don't make me. I hate on-gun rail. On-rail gun things. Oh, we've got more of those. Please get out of my way. And more of them on the way. They can't seem to listen to my pleading, to my nice way of asking. Do they? Now they have to die. Well, they are robots. Robish robots from the future. Which, honestly, is kind of sad. Let me guess. I'll have to, you know, fix the engine deck at some point. You'll never have an engine deck in your elevator, unless you have to, at one point or another, fix it. There's a capital ship near the center. I see it. What a pretty color. Five targets. Ten. I can't keep up. We can take the whole fleet. Statement. The hyperdrive now meets minimum functionality requirements. Why didn't you say so? All right, let's get out of here. You know, I actually would have liked to destroy the whole fleet. Please. More than two dozen ships lost in a single shot. So that's the gravestone. It's as powerful as they say. Uh-oh. Hmph. Now, I was hoping she'd wait for him to exit the room and sit on the throne. More family drama. Because that's what Star Wars is all about. I'm going to have to go fix the engine room. For how long? Oh yes, I think I'm going to enjoy this. I'm not your friend, so don't look at me like that. Okay. Yeah, I got her tools to repair the ship. Sure. Why not? That seems like a tool. Just like the mechanic. Your display of power. It concerns me deeply. I hope you've considered that its use must come at a cost. A very personal cost. Yes. But you were in danger. I wasn't about to let you die. No life is worth risking total corruption. Valkorion may prove to be of some use, but he's been less dangerous than when he was alive. That's why we need all the help we can get, and Senya will be a great help. I hope you can see that. For God's sake. Ultimate corruption? We are SIT, Lana. She's a good fighter. She helped us raise the gravestone. She's an asset. And she doesn't give up either. That was clear the first time I encountered her. We met shortly after I arrived in Wild Space. Senya was hunting cough. I was hoping to learn your fate. We exchanged what information we could. This was all before I really knew cough, of course. Years ago. How long ago? You were looking for me all that time. Is it really any surprise? No, not at all. I was looking for a... Hyperdrive Matrix processor assembly. You probably haven't seen one in here. I'll keep looking. Are you cough-blocking me, mate? You may want to look in on cough. And you should get to know Senya. I'm not sure if you're hit it off exactly, but I think you'll find her intriguing. Right. She's a person who likes to cut through the bullshit. Which is okay by me. Sometimes. I have to bullshit a lot of people. Every once in a while. Whoops. I can't there be a maintenance manual? Nope. I did nothing that... You get the power. Right over there. Thanks. Wouldn't want to electrocute myself on top of everything else. Can I electrocute you instead? You know... I have to feel... As personal. I'll take her assistance. You're Lana, aren't you? Well... I'm grateful, isn't it? You may try to help thank him. Whatever that means... Was she an interrogator? Yes. That's the only context. I can think of that would work with our centres of yours. Cut. Finally. I'm unable to detect. What may be on the other side? Worth looking into at some point. Revelation. I discovered an especially strange area. Unlike anywhere else on the gravestone. I had attempted to ascertain if any of its contents could be weaponised. But the new meatbag interrupted. Query. Any orders, master? Hmm... Look at Lana. Make sure Lana has everything she needs. Assurance. I will endeavour to see to her right away. Thank you, HK. It's good to see I can count on someone. Always very good. Let's investigate further... Into the Dark Sanctuary. I'm curious... If she knows that the Emperor and I are... Currently... Well... Two peas... In a... Me holding cup... Hi! Would she like me more? Or would she try to... End me? Because honestly... You can never tell with... Creatures like her. I don't trust her. Neither of them. Let's see then... What is in store for me? I'd like to hear that. Well... I am not always a Sith Lord. It's true. I take days off. Arkan has become oppressive and cruel. He'll crush anyone who doesn't share his plan with the galaxy. So that's me. What about you? And Valkorion... Was not... He was not oppressive? Fascinating. Honestly... I want revenge. Not exactly. But I see where you're coming from. You're not what I expected. Not sure if that's good or bad yet. But I do know I'll have an easier time with you than Koth. Please make an attempt. Well... None of these are... I hope you'll try to get along. The more we work together, the better off we'll be. Just because he betrayed our enemy doesn't change the fact that he was a traitor. You need to be cautious. Maybe I should have picked the third one. But I wasn't sure whether it would... Valkorion lives. He is not himself. Nor has he taken a new body. It is difficult to see. And yet it is unmistakable. His presence in the Force has always been deceptive. Like on the Yavin moon. Yes. And many times before and since. Even when my life depended on it. I did not see him properly. Until it was too late.
