    Summary

    "That thing decimated our forces. It tore apart the entirety of the ninth division without a second thought,” He spits, white hot fury boiling in his veins. “We've lost good men and women, some of who, I might remind you, are still babbling away like madmen because of Takodana,”

    He thinks of Jessika, unable to sleep, trembling at the any noise and bile rises in his throat.

    “And now you're going to what? Reward it for being drugged senseless and unable to murder anyone else?"

    "Her Worship was always kind to me, aided my people and this cause to the best of her ability. I cannot, in good conscience, simply execute her offspring," Ackbar's gaze is unwavering, a thing of steel long forged in the fires of combat.

    "And you don't think just sticking him in there with the other one isn't going to end up with blood on the walls? Or worse?"

    "They will be sedated, Commander. Regardless, it all cannot be worse than the incessant wailing,"

    As if summoned, a guttural scream rips through the halls, ragged in its bestial agony.

    --

    A reality in which those granted sensitivity with the Force are valued solely for their prowess as weapons of war, otherwise reviled and feared.

    Summary

    The girl didn’t dream. Perhaps it was because she needed more to fuel nighttime sojourns than fantasies of a full belly, of escaping the desert. Perhaps she exhausted all these dreams years ago, falling to sleep in the soft embrace of hope and waking in the hard grip of reality.

    Or perhaps dreams simply could not permeate the armored shell she slept inside, those rusted walls resistant to blaster fire as well as the simple comfort of imagination.

    Maybe this was why, on a particularly stifling night, when sleeping on her gritty pallet in the too-still air finally proved unbearable, and she had rucked the mess of salvaged pilot seats and threadbare blankets into the sand outside her door, that he came to her first. She laid under the stars, straining her exhausted body for a cool breeze, and found sleep.

    And he found her.
