The Soldier And The Sage

AbrillPersonalLog - Nar Shaddaa 1

The different events of the day has led me to believe that I should keep separate logs for the mission and what happens that has no effect on the mission.

While generally I think its a good idea to keep everything in one place, I have decided that this should be more personal. Many things have happened to make me question things and my companion during this trip.

My literal interpretation of words has caused some confusion between us, as he likes to speak in metaphors. Perhaps that was what led to the most confusing situation this evening.

He kept complaining about his jaw hurting, which after seeing him fly through the air multiple times tonight I honestly believed he had an injury. It turns out that it was only a slight bruise, and he was exaggerating the injury. I want to say I’m not sure why he would do such a thing, but I’m not as naive as I present to the world.

I think he intended on stealing a kiss from me, which boggles me. I’ve given him no signals that I can think of that I want such a thing. He does look at me oddly sometimes and I’m trying to figure out if he is just toying with me.

While other women he has worked with might have found this cute, I found it somewhat infuriating. He used my general concern for his injuries to deceive me. Still, barring this incident we’ve worked rather well together. I’m unsure how to proceed, whether it should be something I report, or if I should stand up to him and explain to him that I have sworn off such things.

There is no passion, only peace.

MissionLog1 - Nar Shaddaa

The search for Master Duras Fain continues. I’ve decided to make brief logs to keep track of progress. Theran Cedrax has been assisting me so far in trying to get closer to “The Master” which we assume is Master Fain.

The conditions of life on this moon are rather deplorable, but I suppose that should be expected with it being under the Hutt Cartel’s control. We have been assisting some of the oppressed people’s here, but discreetly as to not cause a diplomatic incident.

The Red Light Sector was a mildly unsettling experience, but the flesh trade is alive and well here. Our time there was short, thankfully.

Lieutenant Corin has been a steadfast ally, doing his job well. His levity in stressful situations is a bit unwelcome, but he never fails to focus when it counts. We work well together, even if we don’t completely see eye to eye in frivolous matters. 

I was not trained in subterfuge, but I have been called on to use such tactics here. So far my contact in the Lancers seems none the wiser, and I hope that will last. Hopefully, this tactic will lead me to Master Fain quickly.

HavocLog001: New Toys

Nikto Sector, Nar Shaddaa

Lieutenant Corin Evandrion, Havoc Squad

[3:44 PM] 

Who would’ve figured the best toys’d come from someplace other than HQ? 

SIS kitted me out with this little doodad. It’s a wrist-cam, pretty much. Installs like a holocomm. You just activate it with a couple buttons, and you can take pictures and record voice. 

Pretty handy. I figured I’d keep a log for Command. At least I’ll have some evidence to back me up when I’m on trial, right? 

Gotta test it first, though. Supposed to be remote upload… 

There we go. Look at that handsome devil. 

Hmm. The chops are starting to creep down a little too far. Could use a trim. Maybe a shave otherwise, too. 

Maybe when I have time. Like that’ll happen. 

Let’s see… 

Oh, nice. It’s got a zoom function. Hmmm…

Heh heh. Thank the Force for whoever made fabric like that, right? 

Actually, kinda makes me wonder what’s in that Jedi water. Maybe the Force just likes to screw with ‘em a little bit. 

Like… “So you’re resisting temptation, huh? Resist this!” 

Shit, she’s asked me what I was doing. Play it cool. It’s just an information relay device.

[5:21 PM]

So we’re on Nar Shaddaa. Not a bad place to visit. Few too many lights for me, and it’s all for a show. I’m not sure if it’s worse here or on Ord Mantell where you’re always two steps away from a mortar to the face. 

Working with SIS to track down a rogue droid that’s been programmed by the Seps. Always time for some sight-seeing, though. 

Nice holos they’ve got here. Well, they’re nice the first 500 times you see ‘em. Past that, though, just kinda reinforces how fake all this is.

Hell, there’s even fake trees. 

Funny part is, it’s making the Jedi really uncomfortable. Her face is kinda scrunched up right now. If she wasn’t watching me, I’d snap a pic. 

[5:44 PM]

Large and in charge! 

 

Heh, you see the way Sergeant Dorne is looking at me? Yeeeep, still got it. 

[6:01 PM]

Oh, check this out. I can set the cam to zoom out and auto-record, so I caught a shot of my other new toy.

This one actually is from HQ. It’s a Harpoon Gun! How awesome is that? That guy didn’t even know what hit him. One second he was standing there, next: BAM, stock strike right to the face. 

[6:54 PM]

So I guess I should’ve expected this. I mean, it’s a Hutt moon. Always some weird shit going down.

Rescuing the soldiers earlier was bad enough, but this takes the cake. Cutting people up, rearranging faces… Ugh. 

I know the Jedi thinks I love this place, but seriously. Fucked up. 

[8:02 PM]

Alright, alright. 

I feel like I should record this because if it gets reported, I want my side on record. I realize it wasn’t all that professional, but come on. 

She could stand to loosen up a bit. 

Anyway, my jaw did hurt. And I didn’t expect anything to happen. Wouldn’t have done it if I really expected anything to happen. She’s just fun to fluster, and I was bored. Still waiting on a lead to find that droid.

A lollipop would’ve been nice, though. I was a good boy. 

Heh, you see that look? Dunno how well this cam’ll capture it, but she looked pretty pissed.

Good to see a bit of fire, though. That whole Jedi thing was getting bland. Course I’m probably making life a lot harder for myself. 

That hat doesn’t do anybody any favors, huh? 

But nice freckles… Wouldn’t have minded being wrong about something happening. Oh well.
