I sneer at his jab. "Only the bones of those who think they're too good to be a meal." Coming around Khem, I look the boy in the eye. "Now then, if you're done attempting to gode a reaction out of myself or my companion, where is Malori?"

Boz Pity, the graveyard of giants. Of course someone like this Gendry would be hiding here, where the marks of violence and death could be felt everywhere. Even as Sith, I had never been a fan of the more wasteful killing. Once an enemy was properly cowed, one need only convince them to never cross you again. A lesson that Thanatos refused to learn. However, even my most loyal had found other paths to walk when the Sith Empire fell, and now the only companion still with me after all these years was the Deshade, Khem Val. We had landed unseen shortly after a coup had seen Salazaar Gresh, the former Emperor's Wrath, join the Force, but he hadn't been my reason for coming, no, that reason now stood below me on his balcony looking out over the planet.

"Now, Mistress? He is alone and distracted." Khem made a good point.

"Yes, Khem, now." My loyal Deshade went first, landing with a heavy thud to Gendry's left, his vibrosword in hand.

"Don't move, little Sith, or I will enjoy your bones." I was close behind, though cloaked in the power of the Force. Dropping my Force Cloak, I approach the young man.

"So you're Gendry? Or do you prefer Darth Hexxus?" I shake my head. "Sucal has no taste in apprentices, I doubt you'd even give Khem a good work out." My saberstaff was in my hand, but for now, remained deactivated, as I wasn't going to pick a fight until I had to.

The recording reveals all I had begun to put together and I shake my head. "Force Walking always was a dangerous technique, but those who I knew could control the spirits they bound seemed nearly impossible to kill." I begin pacing. "D4, upload what you have on the Tempest Eye to the ships databanks, we'll go over them later. And then go ahead and shutdown for a bit, you've earned some rest." I turn to Iwan as I come to a stop.

"This is far worse than I had thought it could be and until Jakito and Becca, they'll be in the dark. There is much to prepare for in the coming days. Far more than I could have anticipated..."

"A woman with blackened eyes...Kreia was supposed to be blind, but I always believed that meant her eyes were a milky white..." Slowly, things were beginning to come together, but I had to be sure. "Unless that changed when she became Sith. D4, play whatever you have left to play."

I again nod, humming thoughtfully. "Nox was notoriously difficult to kill off, but no one knew why. Being his rival during the cold war was less than enjoyable. Still, widespread unease, hallucinations, all hallmarks of more widespread Dark Side influence..."

I nod, mulling over the things playing in the background. "Malachor is a graveyard for a reason, it's where Revan ended the Mandalorian Wars and Metra Surik ended Darth Treya. The more I see, the more suspicious I become that my theory may just be right."

"Reassurance: Master Zar'kun and Mistress Becca are determined to save the baby from Vitiate's influence. Reminder: Master Zar'kun is a former Sith, with experience in their rituals."

I frown at the droid as it grants access. "Now the real question; D4, pick up where you and I left off, when you needed Iwan's permission to unlock those files." I turn to Iwan as the droid accesses the files. "I appreciate that greatly. Your brother says that your father has some kind of ghost following him so I hope that these files might contain where the ghost came from and who it could be."

"Then it's unfortunate that I have to tell you that whoever your father was before all of this, the man your mother knew, that's not who he is now. Jorg Sucal is a Sith Lord who's goal is to destroy the Force. D4 here," who was already chirping and beeping claims to the opposite about Admiral Sucal, mainly how great he was, "has files on him that might shed some light onto why he turned into what he is. But they're encrypted and he keyed them to you."

HK-49 'Hank'

"Observation: Senator Naberrie is not even acknowledging Ryder after releasing him." Producing the hologram again, it zooms in on Korre's stomach just before Ryder's neck snaps and at the same time as he would die, a kick is noticable. "Curious Statement: Senator Naberrie said the baby killed Ryder Twilight. While that kick could only be coincidental, it just might lead some credence to her claim."

"Explanation: Ryder Twilight attempted to harm Korre. He spoke of how Sucal, I believe your father, planned to use her infant as a means to bring back Vitiate and that the process had begun. Theron Shan was wounded attempting to stop him. Senator Naberrie was suspected of killing Ryder due to who he was after, but at the time of his death, she was healing Theron with the Force. Suggestion: Observe." My eyes project a hologram of everything leading up to Ryder's death so that Jude can get an idea of what happened. When it finishes, I look at Jude again. "Query: Any further questions?"

Zar'kun Je'and

I listen to Iwan's story, letting it fill in the blanks for what we knew and didn't know about the time frame. "So then you never met your father? Don't even know his name?"
