Summary
Sidious has fallen and the Empire has fractured. The New Republic is tentatively re-building itself, navigating the strained relations and open wounds left by decades of harsh Imperial rule.
Fox has survived to see the new dawn, despite the immense challenges levied on him as a clone soldier and the crushing despair left by his life as a Sith puppet. He is bitter and jaded; really only looking forward to a peaceful death of his own chosing when he is called to speak before the New Republic Senate and comes face to face with the only being capable of ripping his old scars open to the bone.
Series
- Part 2 of The Atlas of Voden

Bookmark Notes:
The voices from the senate chamber were growing louder and the men glanced back where they had exited, their nerves screaming to be ready to defend themselves. None of them felt safe here, and Cody had been the first to suggest that they prepare an escape plan if things should end badly. He wouldn't be subdued. He had a boy who needed him.
They traded quiet glances, silently agreeing that it was time to go, when a single shrill voice was heard rising above the din. It sounded like a female. And she was pissed. It wasn't Leia - her tones were deeper and more husky. No… this voice was bell like… but was clashing like thunder. It raged and echoed, undulating within the walls… harangued and threatened and shamed. It gave them all pause.
Whoever that was… well, they all shared pleased looks.
Apparently they had a new friend.

Fox had crashed from his cot, the horror that he should have felt at the space port that day surging forth and drowning him. He had wept… screamed… mourned so violently he was retching on his hands and knees.
He had shot her.
He shot his Riyo."Fox?"
He opened an eye a crack, finding Cody squatting before him, peering cautiously.
"Where did you go, Vod?"
Fox grunted. It had been a better place. Soft and fresh. Bittersweet… but that is still 50% sweet, at least. Skywalker was eyeing him curiously, no doubt feeling Fox's turbulent emotions.
"Someplace that's dead and gone, Cody."
