As much as Zora hated it, she was right about one thing: she was just another Sith. In the eyes of the Empire, she was above a civilian and could do nearly no wrong. Everywhere she walked everyone who wasn’t force sensitive knew where she treaded as to either avoid her or gain a glimpse of her, believing she was worth something. This naturally fed her ego in the past until she was entered into the academy. That’s when everything changed and reality slapped her hard in the face. It was a dog eat dog world out there which meant if she wasn’t careful, she was bound to wind up someone else’s kill. 

She still didn’t trust Fa’s offer because underneath the Republic’s banner, she was either vermin or a threat. The fact was, reformed Sith didn’t exist peacefully within the Republic and she wasn’t going to farther someone else’s career. To pretend otherwise that it wasn’t going to happen was foolish. Fa’s protection was useless since the Jedi was going on what Zora viewed to be a suicidal mission. 

“You’re so sure your ‘protection’ would hold any worth even when you’re going on a suicidal mission. When you’re dead, and it’s high chance, the Republic will simply change their mind and I’m still dead,” Zora pointed out, then sighed. Her tongue pressed against her lip’s interior in thought before Vebra’s comment snapped what little resistance at making a snide retort. 

“Oh, it’s very brilliant idea to attempt an escape with your captors watching. It [i]never[/i] fails,” Zora snapped in a sarcastic tone then turned her glare on the Zabrak and added, “Fine since I have to trust, I’ll cooperate on three conditions. First, you let me go with my belongings. Second, you leave me on a  civilized planet along the way and let me vanish. And finally, the Republic never knows where I was dropped off at or where I was.” 

She didn’t give Fa a chance to push her advantage as the Twi’Lek’s peeved expression hardened. It was clear Fa would get nothing better without a risk of her lying, “This is the only thing I'll accept and actually give you useful information. I don’t care what you believe in when it comes to the Republic, they will kill me when they get a chance. Especially with you being unable to return and enforce that deal. Nyiss isn’t stupid and you’re heading right into her territory.” 

Letting that sink in, Zora turned her hands upright in the shackles to indicate for them to release her, “Now, you can let my negotiations stick or just toss me in jail and waste time finding another source, one that might not be reliable. I’m pretty sure that public display of my capture won’t help you very much as the Darth has sources outside of Sith.”
