Lord Vladak sits in a high backed chair in his luxury penthouse, high in one of Nar Shadaa's taller skyscrapers. The room is, of course, quite dark. Here, Xalek kneels, meditating. Vladak has been stressing the importance of meditation almost as much as the sanctity of the Sith Code.

"Excellent, Xalek. I can feel your anger, your hatred. Now, channel it!"

Xalek stood, lightning coursing about his hands, and unleashed it in waves upon the squadron of Galactic Order troops that hung nearby, slowly roasting them.

"Excellent, Xalek. Wait, leave one alive."

Xalek obeyed, of course. The survivor was still cooked, but rare rather than well-done like the rest of his squad.

Vladak approached the survivor. "What's your name?"

"Fuck... you... Sith..."

With deft speed Vladak twirled out a knife and had it to the man's body in seconds. "AAAAH!"

"Sing for me, worm. Sing the music of pain."

A considerable amount of screaming later...

Vladak and Xalek exit his personal chambers together. As they walk past the ops center, Vladak spots Ashara, looking rather cross. "Is something wrong?" He asks. "You seem upset."

"No, nothing's wrong." She said in a tone that clearly indicated anger.

"What's the matter? Have I done something?"

"No, it's just... look, just released on the holonet. Some Sith in the Corellian system killed a group of traders for not giving them free passage into the outer rim. They murdered them!"

"Ashara, I'm sorry to hear that, I really am. But you can't blame me for the actions of every Sith."

"And what is their little union going to do about it? You know as well as I. Nothing!"

"Ashara, why do you think we split from them? Infighting will tear them apart from within, and I will not tolerate it!"

"You're right, I shouldn't have snapped at you. It's just... So much has been made clear to me in my time with you. I've seen so many shades, so many contradictions. I was forced to rethink my whole life and way of thinking little more than a year ago..."


 * cue Smooth Vladak* "It's overwhelming, Ashara. But you are wise beyond your years."

"Oh, thank you." She blushed a little at that.

"It's clear we both have a lot to learn from each other. Perhaps you'd like to come with me and clarify a few things about the Jedi?"

"I can't, I'm sorry. I've got meditating to do."

"Of course. We can't have you losing your razor's edge."

"Talk to you later!"
