Dark Nest - Episode I

THE JOINER KING

Six years after the war against Yuuzhan Vong, the heroes of the New Jedi Order live on with their legacies to serve both the Empire and the Galactic Alliance, descendants of the New Republic, that will change the galaxy, forever.

Over the decades, however, turbulent times once again fell apart for the Grand Master Luke Skywalker with the handful of Jedi Knights, including his nephew and niece, Jacen and Jaina Solo, who have disappeared into the Unkown Regions.

Adept in the Force, the leader of the mysterious aliens drawing her old enemies to the other side, compelling them to join the nests, and meld their Force-abilities with her dark powers, even if it leads to all-out war....

Chapter 18
Mara: Ben! Ben! Where are you? Come to the galley this instant!

Luke: Uh, that might not be such a good idea, Mara. He’s on the utility deck with me.

Mara: Doing what?

Ben: Working on my Killik droid, Mom. Nanna said I could.

Mara: You stay right where you are!

Luke: That sounds serious. You have any idea what’s it with you?

Ben: I guess so, maybe.

Mara: Young man, did Nanna say you have a whole can of gelmeat?

Ben: She said I could have a slice.

Mara: Does this look like a slice to you?!

Ben: I thought she meant one can.

Mara: Honestly, I don’t know how you can eat all this without making a mess of my decks, but you have to stop. It’ll make you sick.

Ben: It’s okay. I haven’t been eating it.

Mara: You haven’t? Then what are you doing?

Ben: Feeding it to my Killik.

Mara: Ben, what did we say about lying?

Ben: If I lying, I have to stay with Kam and Tionne the next time while you and Dad go on a mission.

Mara: Good. And no more gelmeat for you when we get back home.

Ben: But, Mom...

Luke: Your mother’s right, Ben. You’ve had enough to last you ten trips.

Luke: Okay, so that wasn’t just about gelmeat. Then what’s wrong?

Mara: It’s not that. I’m not sure yet whether the Killiks are enemies or just dangerous friends, but I am certain we can need to learn everything about them. I got a feeling it’s about to happen again.

Luke: I can sense it, too, but not as strong as you. Only like the last six time.

Mara: Nah. We can do another stowaway sweep next time. Good luck fixing your droid, Luke. Not that you'll need it. This must be nothing compared with the stuff you're expected to deal with as the greatest Jedi master.

Luke: Whatever that’s causing it, it seems you have a special connection to it.

Mara: Oh, lucky me. You’re just trying to get me to our cabin again.

Luke: Really?

Mara: Maybe later.

[R2 whistles.]

Luke: All right. All right, Artoo. Let’s see what is your damage here now.

[R2 whistles in something.]

Luke: It looks like you got a bug in your projectile system. Maybe I can get it out with the blast degausser.

[R2 whistles in worrying objection.]

Luke: Don’t worry. I can still concentrate. I just want to see that deep-reserve holoprojector switch.

Luke: Hmm... I think I’ve found your problem. Your memorize entry has been encoded, but I can slice it through one of those sectors that I need to repair.

[R2 whistles in question.]

Luke: That one. Sector two twenty-two.

[R2 whistles in something.]

Voice: Anakin...
