We all had explaining to do. Kal’s identity was false, but he is no Imperial agent. His real name is Garik Loran, a holodrama actor. His scar is real — he was recently caught in a crossfire between Rebels and Imperials — but the rest was a disguise. He did not want the Empire to know he was still alive, so the governor took him in as a favor to his parents. He had confronted Sigil that night, so she had stunned him — which was why we had seen her near his room. He was glad to hear that, as he put it “Diamond won’t be back for the sequel.”

The explosion Raygar had been forced to set off vaporized the creature, the pits, and Diamond’s tapes. Unless the Emperor believes his stories about giant monsters and aliens from the void, I imagine he will have a hard time getting Imperial funding for future expeditions.

One question remains: was the creature from the Slave Pits the weapon Mari-Elan Nora feared? It certainly reminded me of the Imperial bioengineered creatures we have encountered. But Deevee believed there was another possibility. [At last, credit where credit is due.] Deevee noted the similarities between the layout of the slave pits and ancient radio telescopes. It is possible that the pits were not for breeding weapons, but a system of organic receivers… or transmitters. Fortunately, the creatures had remained dormant for thousands of years, so the Architect never had a chance use them.

Unless, of course, they were transmitting the whole time.
