The Datapad of Vincent Cross

[Vincent Cross]

ENTRY-01

.

well, I bought this thing for some reason. Probably just cause it was shiny and the kid selling it really needed the creds. But I may as well use it now I guess. This will be a log of my musings and things to remember. Not that anyone will read it even after I'm dust. ​

Entry-02

.

Met a Jedi, said her name was Nora. Nasty scars on her face kinda gave it away, damn shame that, never did find out the story about 'em but maybe if I run into her again I'll ask. Hope whoever did it to her got one o' them lightsabers through their chest. Think it's high time I did some good in the galaxy, I know I can't use the force but I reckon the jedi could use some blasters on their side.​

Entry-03

I've been shot. Been stabbed too. Even taken a couple a lightsaber hits. But Kriff it all, a couple bolts from a stun blaster is the worst kriffing thing I ever felt. Kriffin droid. I feel awful letting Staja down like that. Shoulda been smarter. Shoulda brought my blasters. Thought it'd be safe on Jedha. Won't make that mistake again.

Consider this a will of sorts.

I have heard of a bad, bad exile going to Ryloth. Currently I'm on my way there, my droid has instructions to take my ship back to Jedha after dropping me off.

This is to complete the promise about to be made in this entry.

If i die in the coming battle, The Hopper Is to become the property of Staja Retturzac. I promised her a ride to wherever she needed to go and i will make good on that promise even if i die. I also leave to her my droid to assist with piloting the ship.

To be clear, i do not plan to die, but i am aware it is likely.

Ryloth was a victory of sorts. Even if it turned out to be a diversion from a larger attack on Ossus we got the warlord. So.. That's a win. I'm on my way to Ossus now to throw my hat in with the Jedi. Hopefully they'll be receptive.

ENTRY-06

.

Well. The Jedi were none too happy to see me there. Had the business end of a lightsaber held up against me and one o' them took one of my guns. Mentioned that I was there on Ryloth. Evalyn was there even. She didn't even spare me a glance. Jedi lumped me in with all the other bounty hunters just out for their sabers. I know they had just suffered a loss but kriff they are cold folks. I'll still help Staja out if and when she needs it but I ain't stickin my lot in with just Jedi anymore. Back to having no alliances with anyone.

Got the kark kicked out of me by an Exile on Tatooine. Kriffing hurt. Serie Fond she said her name was. Somehow she pulled up some nasty memories I forgot I even had.

I DID get a nice new scarf out of the encounter though. Always look on the bright side right?[/color]

ENTRY-08

.

Ran into the Exile that messed with my head again, we talked a bit. Turns out she's actually a half decent individual. She asked for my help with a big ol' quest she's going on and I decided to oblige.

We took out a Krayt Dragon. That was a fun fight. I make good bait it turns out. I never knew there were pearls in a Krayt, so that was fun learning experience.

After that Serie somehow ended up in nothing but a towel in my cargo bay. Strange girl she is. It was admittedly a little tempting to look when she went up the ladder, but I'd like to think of myself as a gentleman.

Off to Durace for some flower now. Should be a fun visit, never seen Durace before.

ENTRY-09

.

Durace was an interesting change of scenery, haven't seen a storm like that in a long while. Plus it was nice not to be trompin' through sand the whole time.

Fought a Jedi while we were getting Serie's flower. Took her out, took her saber too. That felt good. Serie said I did well in the fight, that felt good too.

Now we're off to Corellia to do kriff knows what. I'm sure whatever happens there it'll be an interesting trip regardless.

.

So it turns out I can use the Force. When Serie an' I were lookin' fer a new stabilizer we were attacked by some kriffing bounty hunters after her saber. I got real mad an' somehow ended up hurlin' chunks of steel and people around. They got my shoulder real good. Serie taught me some of the basics before we had ta go get medical help. Got myself a fancy new arm out of it though.

.

Well, Corellia was a hot mess. That Jedi showed up again and tried ta throw a wrench in to things. I assume Serie dealt with her. Temple collapsed an' we got separated. On my way ta meet with her on Manon now.

Well. Almost dying hurts. Serie saved me though. Took me to a doctor fella. Got me hooked up to this life suppirt rig. It's uncomfortable but it works. Noisy kriffin' thing. Kept waking me up the first night.

Ya know what. Kriff this stupid journal.

Vincent sighed and sat back in his chair at his workbench in the cargo hold of his ship. After he finished the last entry he picked up the old beaten up datapad with the force and held it in front of him, reading over the past few months of his life.

He sighed again and was still for a moment as the datapad slowly crushed in on itself under the increasing pressure he was putting on it. The little device sputtered and sparked and was finally a silent ball of jagged glass and metal. He had moved past the strange need to document his adventures. Asside from his penchant for swearing and his damn good aim there was nothing left of the honorable, do-goodder bounty hunter that he had been once.
