Talak had finally gotten a message with an address to meet Trys. After what had happened to her apartment, it was no surprise that it wasn't anywhere he had been before, but he'd dropped everything to go there immediately. He was both excited and dreading the meeting. Since Hans had told him...
The Sith had told him that all things happened in cycles and that eventually these cycles were bound to repeat themselves. For all they'd gotten wrong, Talak actually thought they might have been right about that, and while he knew that was a reference on a macro level, it had turned out true...
Talak had been reviewing parameters and operations for his old missions as a Sith when he'd found it. Over the course of his years with the Sith, he had done so many things that many had simply faded from his memory. Even since the Sith returned from the Unknown Region he'd been to dozens of...
Talak had intended to leave the Jedi behind altogether and start on his own without bonds, restraints, or allies. He'd traveled to Nar Shaddaa to enact a terrible action against the Sith and their kind, and his mind had taken him to the darkest places he'd been in many years.
And yet he...
The Arcanist had returned to Nar Shaddaa, and it hadn't improved in his absence. He'd wanted to use his old gear, but that wasn't what this was about. He didn't need the attention drawn by that mask or the baggage it carried with it even if it was comfortable. Instead, he wore a helmet with a...
Talak felt like he was back in the Sith again. The instincts that had been ingrained into him for years were still present and after all that had happened at Sullust they had boiled back to the surface again. Everything turned back to the violent cycles and he felt those same instincts of being...
Talak's ship dropped out of hyperspace above Sullust and he braced himself for what was to come. This was a world that he could immediately sense was filled with darkness and pain. It was distinctly Sith in the impression that it gave him, and that was an impression he was all too familiar with...
The trip to Coruscant hadn't exactly been peaceful, but he and Crix seemed to have come to some sort of an understanding of one another. At least temporarily. As always, however, that was far less important to either of them than what had brought them together: finding Trys.
Talak's call to...
Talak didn't know what was going on, but whatever it was, he knew it was bad. Extremely bad. He had been tracking a lead on Sith that were potentially working with a group of pirates in the Sanbra sector when he'd received the ominous message from Trys to find Crix.
Seven unanswered calls...
Talak had returned to the same Ajan Kloss clearing that he had gone to after the funerals for the Jedi who had fallen at the prison break. It was a place he was comfortable. It was close enough to the compound to be approachable, but far enough that he was unlikely to be disturbed by others. He...
OOC InformationThe Sith Empire had returned in force since the Eternal's announcement. It wasn't clear where the sizable forces had come from, but the galaxy was filled with a nearly countless number of sentient creatures, and many of them lacked any sort of moral compass. Or perhaps they simply...
Sometimes it felt to Talak like there were "default" planets in the galaxy. Places where everything of significance seemed to happen or where - sometimes for no apparent reason - galactic events were shaped. Nar Shaddaa had always struck him as one of those worlds. Perhaps his perspective was...
OOC: Trying to get back into the swing of things. Feel free to join and hopefully we can keep this moving.
Talak had been out of the game for a while, but that was in the nature of having your life upended. The time he'd spent with the Jedi over the past several months had been primarily made...
OOC: Death Enabled. Given the setting of the prior thread, this is before Talak joined the Jedi Order officially
Shady Coruscant warehouse? Yes, shady Coruscant warehouse. Talak hadn't figured out what the protocol was for Jedi prisoners yet, but he was pretty sure this wasn't it. He would...
Talak's history going into Sith temples and ancient sites wasn't exactly great. Between being infested with the dark side and traps that wanted to kill you, it wasn't something he was leaping at the idea of doing again. Luckily, it seemed that the Jedi weren't as interested in killing anyone who...
Talak was exhausted. He was barely even a Lightsider, so his poor attempts at self-mending after meditation had got him to the point of "weak but mobile" rather than "cripplingly tired." The scene below him was one he didn't dare describe and knew would be forever etched in his memory. A gore...
Talak had stayed for the ceremony, and found himself lingering around Ajan Kloss for several hours. The ceremony had gone on late into the night, and there were still several beings he would have liked to catch conversations with.
The sun had come out the next day and Talak had settled into a...
Naboo was a nice world, but with all the meetings he'd needed to do here with former associates, he wasn't sure that it would be a particularly fondly associated world after this. His decision to leave the Sith Eternal hadn't been an easy one, and he wasn't sure how quickly news of it had...
It was still coming back to Talak exactly how he had gotten here. Apparently in the aftermath of the attack, medics had found him in the rubble and, after finding the blue lightsaber clutched in the other half of his arm, assumed he was a Jedi and rushed him to the medcenter. He had never been...
The Nomad had made all speed back to Coruscant, but the trip had been fairly long nonetheless. That had given him plenty of time to worry about everything on the trip. How badly was Trys hurt? Had she lost a limb? Had she died during his trip here? Was she even going to be conscious?
Calm...
