The commander hadn't wanted Devore on the mission. Years earlier, he had been relieved when his half brother had abandoned a naval career, drifting into the Sith's mineralogical service. Power and riches were more easily had there, searching for gems and Force-imbued crystals. With their father's sponsorship, Devore had become a specialist in using plasma weapons and scanning equipment.

The recent conflict with the Jedi found him in high demand-and assigned, with his team, to Omen. Korsin wondered whom he'd played a joke on to deserve that. He'd been told Devore officially answered to him, but that would have been a first.

Not even Sith Lords were that powerful.

"You should have kept us in orbit!"

"We were never in orbit!"

Korsin recognized the voice of the navigator, Marcom, coming from over the dusty rise. He already knew the other one.

The old man was trying to push his way out of the crowd when Korsin topped the hill at a full run. Devore's miners weren't letting Boyle go. "You don't know my job!" he yelled. "I did all that I could! Oh, what's the use talking to . . . "

Just as Korsin reached the clearing, the crowd surged forward, as if pulled down a drain. One sickeningly familiar crackle followed another.

"No!"

Korsin saw the lightsaber first, rolling toward his feet when he breached the crowd. His father's old helms-man lay ahead, gutted. Next to Seelah and Jariad stood Devore, his lightsaber glowing crimson in the lengthening shadows.

"The navigator attacked first," Seelah said.
