"It's worse than that, Weaver," Alduah told Weaver in response to his comment about the Thought Bomb. "It's a terrifying weapon that kills indiscriminately. The after-effects are worse. Suffice to say, it's a weapon even I would never think to use."
"I don't think the DMC's tech quite works the way you think it does, Jade - but we can discuss that after this creature has been dealt with, and Tigress, you need to stay here on the bridge to use the systems to trap the creature in Engineering once Alduah lures it in there," Zuka said. A clang! reverberated through the ship. "... which reminds me, Weaver, you never did describe the creature. What does it look like?"

Wrath dashed through the hole, and used the Force in an effort to guide him and the group back to the Fury so they could make off-world.

"It's alright, you had no way of knowing," Malgus responded to Ickthis. "Comms between orbit and the surface are dealing with unexpected interference - some of the Dragon engineers are working on that. So I tried to have a messenger deliver the news to you - as best as my Sith Subordinates can tell, he was lost to the jungle." He cast a look to the surrounding jungle. "The Jungles of Dromund Kaas can be quite dangerous, as I'm sure you're aware." He happened to glance over, and spotted the Sith Patrol with someone he couldn't clearly see. "Sergeant, what do you have?"
The Sith Sergeant turned around and stepped aside, revealing the young boy. "Young man here, says he came here looking for someone, milord," he answered. Malgus motioned the two forward, and Malgus looked at the boy with a curious look on his face, even though it was half-hidden by his breath mask. "It's alright, young man," the Sergeant would assure the boy, "Lord Malgus won't hurt you."
Malgus inclined his head, then finally spoke, "It takes a brave soul to wander the Jungles of Dromund Kaas alone, young one. Who did you come here looking for?"

"Well, I'm not dead, nor is a lot of the high-ranking officers. Vader survived Endor, and has had to go through a long and arduous time tearing down and then rebuilding his legacy, and currently serves as Jedi Fleet Commander; Piett is also alive, and so is Admiral Pallaeon. Many of the Empire's officers switched sides to Vader's faction during that mess at Endor, so most of the Imperial Starfleet came out of that intact," Thrawn explained.
"Thrawn here had been on the fence over joining up with the newly-created Imperial Alliance, till the last few times I bailed him out of trouble convinced him to join up," Blythe added.
"Commander, the Ferengi Station is hailing us," Grey said. Blythe nodded, and the Ferengi showed up on screen.
"Commander, I am pleased to report to you our systems are back online," the Yard Manager proclaimed. "Now, I understand you were after three old Klingon designs?"
"Yes, it was my understanding you had three Klingon D'Tai-class Battleships in your inventory. Are they still?" Blythe answered.
"Well, yes, they're there - I'm surprised you're interested. No one else ever was," the manager commented. "Still, they're fine vessels, and as Klingon Designs, they're heavily armed. I am assuming you wish to purchase all three?"
"That's correct," Blythe affirmed.
The Ferengi consulted his datapad. "Ah! I see - you fronted the Latinum in advance with your reservation. Everything is in order - vessels are yours. But, given how you saved my station from attack, might I offer you a bonus?"

Even close to K'Tath, everyone could feel the Dark Side getting stronger the closer they got to the inner sanctum. The air was cold, and at times, heavy, until they came to the aforementioned chamber.
"Even though your Dragon form was taken from you, you still had the Force," Nox's voice said. A spirit appeared before them, dressed in black armor with a hooded, black cloak. K'Tath bowed to the spirit, motioning the others to do the same.

"One of the chocolate shakes your dad got me, for starters," Tyber said, nuzzling Shiloh's nose with a smile.
"Knock it off, Kanan," Kira growled. "There's gonna be plenty of time for jokes and pranks at the festival."

Bahkriid caught the dragon flying overhead and immediately jumped up from meditation. Friend or foe, she had to ascertain this newcomer's intent, and possibly steer her clear of the Valley.

"Why you tell me to lose Russian accent? I am of Russian descent! Accent has been in family for generations!" Richard complained.
