“The best. Sergeant Donbar was corrupt. But that didn’t change anything. I went against the chain of command and reported him to his superiors.

They slapped him down and discharged him, but the reason for it was hushed up.

There were always going to people who didn’t believe me, thought I was doing it out of a grudge, but because of the secrecy I couldn’t defend myself.

No one wants Special Forces to look bad, and he was about as bad as it gets. He was discharged, and eventually I quit. It got way too uncomfortable.

”

“Do you regret it?”

“Sometimes, ” she said, thinking of the Zabrak on Coruscant, “but it had to be done. If I tried to capture the weeks of agonizing I went through leading

up to me actually doing it, I’d bore you to death. ”

The skin around his eyes tightened. “And now you think I should just get over myself and do what I have to do. ”

“You don’t agree?”

“Not at all. Finding a planet that could be anywhere in Wild Space is a little different from putting in a report, don’t you think?”

“Sure it’s different. You don’t stand to lose every friend you’ve ever had if you do the right thing. And you’ve actually been training for this most of your

life.

Remember, Shigar, that you didn’t have to crawl up from nowhere to get where you are. You were handpicked from everyone on Kiffu to be a Jedi

Knight.

Whatever happens today, you’ll go back to the life you know. So you can do it at your own pace, or you can do it when you need to do it. I for one think

there’s only one right choice. ”

He looked away. “You came to tell me you think I’ve got it easy. That makes a huge difference. Thanks. ”

His sarcasm stung. Larin didn’t know what she’d come to him for, really, except to break him out of his funk. She was surprised at how deep the

feelings ran and the harshness with which she had spoken. It was hard to tell how much was for his benefit.

“All right, then, ” she said. “I’ll leave you to it. ”

When she stood, her knees practically shook with fatigue.

“I will do it, ” he said. “I have to. ”

“Well, keep it down when you do. I’m going to catch up on some sleep. ”

She didn’t wait for his snappy comeback, if he had one. Letting her legs work on autopilot, she went to a bunk in the crew quarters and was asleep

before her head hit the pillow.
