| Jedi Knight Aayla Secura & Commander Bly arrive on Adaven, with the hope of finding Jedi Master Adi Gallia & Commander Deviss.
| |
 | 
Commander Bly: Oddball, this is a good spot. Set her down here.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: With nightfall approaching, we should be able to move quickly.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: No sign of anyone or anything.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: The last known coordinates for General Gallia’s gunship were due south of here.
Aayla Secura: Very good, Commander. We shall walk the rest of the way.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: I still say we should have brought more men.
Aayla Secura: Not until it is absolutely necessary. May I remind you, Commander, we are on a peaceful mission.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Oddball, remain here with the ship. Continue scanning the area, and alert us of any movement. And be prepared for an immediate takeoff, just in case.
Commander Oddball: Yes, General. Good luck.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: In my experience, there is no such thing as luck.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: There is something ahead. Not big enough for an enemy, but it does look familiar…Rho, Tau, check it out!
| |
| 
Rho: I can’t see anything out here!
Tau: Neither can I. Wait…I do see…
| |
| 
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Who are they, Tau?
Tau: Based on the battalion logos, these troopers are part of the original battlion of Adaven. These are burial markers.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Commander Deviss and his men must have begun the burial process. Who else would have buried these troopers?
Aayla Secura: Their objective was to restore the original command post. We must be close.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Let’s keep moving then.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: General, do you mind if I ask, what you think happened to General Gallia and her men?
Aayla Secura: I have hope we will find them safe. However, I do have a bad feeling about all this. There is something very cold about this place. The dark side is strong here.
| |
| 
Tau: Commander, I have a visual on the command post.
Rho: I have a visual on something else.
| |
| 
Rho: Why were these troopers not buried?
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Because…they were burying the dead. These troopers must be from Deviss’ squad.
Commander Bly: Something went terribly wrong.
| |
| 
Tau: He has been blasted several times. And his serial number confirms he was part of Commander Deviss’ team.
| |
| 
Rho: Commander, their weapons are over here. Why would they leave them behind?
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Probably because they didn’t think they would need them.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Then who killed them? The planet was void of any life forms or Seperatists.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Obviously not. The Force will be our guide…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Destroyer droids…he fell…trying to get back to his rifle…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: They were ambushed.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: They were trying to get back to their weapons when the droids appeared. This trooper was shot in the back.
| |
| 
Rho: Droids are not known for their stealth. Their mechanical parts can easily be heard.
Tau: …unless something else drew their attention.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Doesn’t make sense, General. How could these troopers be so easily killed by droids?
Aayla Secura: The droids knew they were here. This attack was too precise…as if the droids knew their exact location.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: A spy, perhaps?
Aayla Secura: Perhaps. Nevertheless, this was a trap. But where are Master Gallia and Deviss?
Rho: We found one more.
| |
| 
Tau: His neck was slashed. There are some restraints on the ground, near his feet.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: He must have been captured.
Rho: …then killed.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: One way to find out…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: He was restrained…until the very last second…when he was killed…with a lightsaber…
| |
| 
Rho: A lightsaber?
Tau: Jedi use lightsabers…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: As do Sith Lords, Tau. This trooper was interrogated before his throat was slashed.
Commander Bly: Only the higher levels of the Republic War Committee knew of this assignment.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Yes, and even less knew of the precise location. Someone has betrayed the Republic…let’s keep searching for Gallia and Deviss.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: A battle droid. This is the first one we have come across.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …and there is Commander Deviss.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: It appears he at least put up a fight…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: But he was out numbered…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Deviss’ death still does not provide any answers. We need to find their gunship.
Commander Bly: The coordinates of the gunship were on the other side of this hill. Let’s go.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: I think we just found their gunship…or what.s left of it. Tau, can you confirm?
| |
| 
Tau: Affirmative, Commander. The serial markings are a match to the gunship assigned to Commander Deviss. And these burn marks could only be made by an explosion.
| |
| 
Rho: Watch your step. Looks like…someone’s hands…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: We are close…I can feel her prescence…but something is different…
| |
| 
Commander Bly: General, wait! Please allow us to scout ahead…
Aayla Secura: …as if she is here but gone………oh no..
| |
| 
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Master Gallia???
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …I…I…have to know…what happened…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: She survived the explosion…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …but someone was waiting for her…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …General Grievous…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …he attacked her…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …and killed her…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: …with her own lightsaber…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: It was a trap. The whole mission was a trap.
Commander Bly: General……is there anything……I am sorry.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: General Secura has found Adi Gallia. Begin collecting Commander Deviss and his men. I will return to the Kimcharise and report our findings.
| |
| 
Commander Bly: Give General Secura all the time she needs…
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: Noooooo.
| |
| 
Aayla Secura: (sobbing)
| |
| 
Rho: I thought it was forbidden for a Jedi to cry?
Tau: Apparently not. Let’s get to work.
